(Episode 1)
Mr. Na, what do you want to do the most...
when you get out of here?
I want to be a CEO.
Congratulations, CEO Na.
What? Aren't you Ms. Lee of from Marketing Team?
Bingo.
What are you doing?
Open this door right now!
What is this?
Junior Managing Director Na Cheol Soo.
- Yes. - You pass orders...
from above as they are to your juniors,
and report only exactly what they did.
It doesn't matter if you're at work or not...
like an invisible man.
You'll restart your career as a part-time server.
A part-time server? At my age?
Next.
CEO Kang In Han.
You try hard to stay away from doing anything...
for your employees.
You're a narrow-minded liar!
Mr. Kang, you're fired.
I'm sorry.
- Fired. - Hey.
This is my company.
- Mr. Na. - What?
- What is this? - This is my company!
- Hey! - Goodness, I...
- I didn't... - Mr. Na!
- Please! - What did I do to you?
Oh, gosh!
- Hey! - I'll get you!
And lastly,
Team Leader...
Baek Jin Sang from Marketing Team.
Is it my turn now?
Goodness.
How did you...
You were so clumsy...
when you locked me up...
just like how you do all of your work.
Anyway,
Ms. Lee.
Yes, Mr. Baek.
Did you finish the media advertising proposal?
- Not yet. - I'm sure...
I told you to finish it by the afternoon.
I knew it. I never liked the way you worked.
Fine, Ms. Lee.
What do you want to complain to me about?
I'll at least hear out what it's about.
It's because you always stick to the rules...
The rule is to finish your work within the deadline.
But you always talk back when I give you work...
and never turn in a paper before the deadline.
- It's... - Look at you.
When I ask you what happened,
you always make excuses.
Ms. Lee. Am I asking for too much?
Is it that hard to just do...
whatever you're told?
Ms. Lee, how long have you worked?
When I was your age, we did what we were told...
- whatever it was. - Enough.
Do you not have brains or any thoughts?
Enough.
I'm asking this because I'm really curious.
Are you sure you graduated a university in Seoul?
Enough!
Baek Jin Sang! You're always like this.
You think you are saying the right things,
but everything you say is nothing but nonsense.
Your existence itself is a crime.
You are sentenced to death.
Die, Baek Jin Sang!
What was that?
A dream?
Hey, wake up.
You might end up on the train to your death.
A nonstop service. Come on out.
Darn it.
No. Oh, no.
Why was that only a dream? I hate this situation.
There are people who are better off dead...
for a better future for humanity.
It's...
Baek Jin Sang.
(Feel Good to Die)
Darn it.
Good morning, everyone.
I am your engineer, Jeon Myung Hyun,
who will take you safely to your destination.
There is a saying that I am reminded of...
as we begin another bright new day.
It's this.
“The day that you lived in vain today..."
"is a tomorrow that someone..."
"who died yesterday truly wanted to live.”
I wanted to say this.
Whatever.
Every single day is all the same.
He always tells us such great sayings, right?
Sure.
Goodness, are you coming just now?
- Hello. - When will Ms. Choi...
go on a leave? Will it be soon?
Soon?
You know, her second child, Cho Rong.
I'm sure she's due soon.
That is incorrect.
Currently, Ms. Choi is in her 27th week.
One's pregnancy usually lasts from 38 to 40 weeks,
so she is in the middle of it.
Therefore, it is incorrect to say...
that she is due soon.
But I know that you have no common sense, Ms. Lee.
Hello.
Good morning, Mr. Baek.
Wipe your mouth first.
My goodness. Anyway,
I can't believe how Mr. Baek knows...
how long Ms. Na was pregnant.
I'm so shocked.
I know.
Marketing Team must be so tight-knitted.
The higher-ups always call for our team leader,
so he has no time for us.
It's not always great to be so competent.
You're right.
You must be glad that you're incompetent.
- Sorry? - I heard only you...
couldn't fulfill last month's...
goal performance for your team.
How... How did you know?
And I heard Ms. Park...
went on three blind dates during the weekend,
but she didn't get any good results as usual.
Is this the issue?
What did you say?
How could you say that to my face?
What's wrong with telling the truth?
Or is there another reason that I don't know about?
What's wrong with my face?
- What are you saying... - Ms. Lee.
- from the early morning? - Please stop him.
- Calm down. - Why should I?
What? Why would I do that?
Who else could stop him?
You're in his team.
- You're not in our team. - No.
Don't you think you're being too rude?
Well,
- Mr. Baek? - What is it?
Well...
It's here.
After you.
- Gosh, he's so annoying. - Come on.
Let go of me.
That's Mr. Kang from Development Team.
- Hello. - Good morning.
- What? - What's going on?
What? What's going on?
- Did it stop? - What's wrong?
- Please open the door! - Save us!
- Hello? - Save us!
- We're stuck in here! - Don't move!
- Is anyone there? - Be quiet!
What are you doing?
Don't you know the emergency manual?
What should we do now?
- Let me see. - Hurry up.
Hello?
Is this 911? Thank you for your service.
Well, we're stuck in an elevator...
inside a building...
- and decided to call. - Well, this building...
- is in Yeongdeungpo-gu... - All right.
The elevator number is 0123-253.
Yes.
We need to wait about 10 minutes?
Do you mean I'll be two minutes late?
Okay then. Right.
The elevator is full of people causing a ruckus...
due to their ignorance of emergency situations.
In order to prevent any following injuries,
please hurry.
Bye.
It's okay. Don't worry.
- Get out. - Sorry?
During an emergency in the elevator,
grab the bar, sit down, and put your head under.
What are you doing?
Lower your head as much as possible.
It's open!
- Are you okay? - Yes!
Can you grab onto my hand?
Yes, please help me.
- Hold on. - Are we safe then?
Yes. Could the men help out?
Please help the ladies get up first.
I'll help. All right.
Come on. Let me through.
Step on my back one at a time.
Oh, okay.
- Be careful. - I apologize in advance.
- No problem. - Wait, wait, wait!
I'm the highest in rank here!
- Wait... - Come on.
- What? - Hold on.
The two ladies should go first.
I'm sorry.
1, 2, 3.
Be careful.
- Goodness. - Be careful.
- Is everyone okay? - Yes.
Goodbye.
- Are you okay? - Yes, we are.
Thanks to you.
But what about your coat?
It looks expensive.
Your lives matter more than this.
Please.
All right then.
Yes? Of course, I'm at work.
- He's so cool! - Gosh!
Doesn't he look like a conglomerate's only son?
Yes. He said he studied abroad before joining us.
- Where? - I don't know.
What do you know?
Guess what? The elevator suddenly stopped.
If it wasn't for me, they would've been in danger.
Are they even taking care of the elevators?
I'll let Facility Management know.
Yes, the chairman should do it.
Uncle doesn't care about any of these things.
It sure is good to have you here.
Shouldn't you learn how to run the company now?
No way. Grandpa.
I'm secretly working here for only one year.
Don't ever forget that.
I have only one month left now.
Gosh, work's piling up. See you at home.
Gosh, he's sly like a 70-year-old fox.
He sure is.
I'm sorry for being late.
Ms. Choi?
Yes?
Shall we have a talk?
- That scumbag. - It's okay, it's okay.
Stop touching me.
What happened? What was it this time?
He asked me why I was late.
I'm sorry.
I dropped my kid off at the kindergarten...
and came here on time,
but the elevator was broken.
So I walked up the stairs...
You'll be having another kid.
It must be tough.
Ms. Choi, you must really love your country.
He really said that?
What's gotten into him?
I'm not done talking.
If only you loved your company half as much.
Even if I was being nice, your love is one-fourth...
No, one-sixth...
One-eighth? One-tenth?
Sir, I was late for the first time this month.
And the elevator was broken.
I was only five minutes late.
Let's see.
Let's sum up the minutes...
that you were late for the past five years.
(Choi Min Joo's Timesheet)
It's almost one whole day.
I'll tell myself...
never to be tardy again in the future...
If you really wish to do so,
I'll take a day off from your annual leaves.
- Sorry? - Let's start again...
with a new heart.
He did it again.
Let's forget about it over some good food.
She's right. During our team dinner...
after the event,
let's order as much as we want.
No way. I'm not going.
Why? You should.
How could I go there after all this?
- Talk it out. - What do you mean?
Why does he act that way?
I can't understand him.
Guys, this won't do. Huddle.
Hurry. Come here.
As your senior, here is a precious advice.
As your senior, here is some precious advice.
Every morning,
take your brains out,
and leave them at home before you come to work.
- What? - What?
You mean like the rabbit with the missing liver?
That's very unlike you to say.
You always whine about being scolded by Mr. Baek.
Goodness, how did you know?
I know everything.
I'm just relaying what my wife tells me.
I've barely managed to leave one-third of mine.
Just forget about it.
Then what must Mr. Baek...
leave at home?
He's already been leaving something at home.
What?
Manners.
What do you think?
Don't you feel refreshed coming up here...
after staying in that suffocating office?
The concentration of fine dust...
is at its worst today.
Is everything okay with your team?
Jung Hwa's contract is about to expire,
but her work performance is as bad as an amoeba's.
Min Joo can't do anything properly.
But she's always absent-minded...
because she's a working mother.
And the only thing Yoo Deok does well...
is to stay seated in his seat for a long time.
So I'm sure he won't get promoted next year.
And the problem with Roo Da...
is that there's not much of a problem with her.
Why is that a problem?
She does what she's told on an average scale.
That only implies that she has no passion, love,
nor interest in the company.
She's an assistant manager,
but she's acting like she's been through it all.
So I can't expect more from her in the future.
How does anything get done with a team like that?
Thankfully, they have me.
Even if the crew is incompetent,
an outstandingly competent captain...
is still able to take them to their destination.
I need to go get ready for the food tasting event.
My gosh.
My goodness, I hope someone kidnaps him.
What an eyesore.
(Custom-made Chicken Tasting Event for Kids)
Great.
There.
Nice.
We're done.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
- Are you his father? - Yes.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Hello, welcome to our tasting event.
- Is everyone seated? - Yes.
Okay, then. Now,
let's begin the tasting event...
of our new menu, which was invented...
by this country's most leading...
chicken restaurant company, MW Chicken.
My kid is allergic to walnuts and peaches.
- Please note that down. - Okay.
- I'd like to welcome... - Yes?
you all to our parent-child...
- chicken tasting event. - What?
- You'll be able to try... - Oh, okay.
our new menu today.
Hey, Ms. Lee.
My kid suddenly has a fever,
and the teacher wants me to come.
What?
So are you going now?
Well...
You know what? Never mind.
Wait, Ms. Choi.
- Here's your chicken. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Nice.
- Enjoy. - It looks so good.
- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Seung Woo, what's wrong?
Do you like it?
Goodness, is it delicious?
Hey!
Excuse me!
Who's in charge of this event?
I want to talk to the person in charge!
What's wrong, sir?
My kid... I want to talk to the person in charge!
- Just a moment. - My gosh.
What's the matter?
- Who's the manager? - What's wrong with him?
- My kid's getting rashes! - Wait.
- Please calm down. - Ms. Choi.
Where's Ms. Choi?
She left earlier saying something urgent came up.
She left? Why?
She got a call from the kindergarten...
saying that her kid's sick.
So she left for a little while.
What?
What happened?
Ms. Choi, weren't you in charge of the menus?
The dad told me that he told you beforehand...
about his kid's allergies.
I don't think it was properly delivered.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
My gosh.
How could you leave because your kid is sick?
Unbelievable.
This is why firms don't like hiring mothers.
Sir.
What?
We need to clarify...
who is responsible for this incident.
Ms. Choi got a call...
- about her sick kid, - Mr. Park.
so she asks Mr. Park for help.
The kid at table three has allergies.
Please check the ingredients,
and inform Development Team.
No, wait. I'm really busy right now.
Hey, Jung Hwa. I need to do something urgent.
There's a kid at table four...
Mr. Park accidentally said "number four"...
when it was actually "number three".
It's something he would normally do...
since he's so incompetent with work.
I'm sorry.
The kid at table four is allergic to these foods.
Please deliver this to Development Team for me.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
But Jung Hwa took the wrong memo.
Jung Hwa tends to be very sloppy with work.
She's a contract worker.
So she must not care much about the company.
My goodness. I'm sorry.
Where's the grocery list I put here?
The kid at table four is allergic to these foods.
Please check them beforehand. Thank you.
Enoki mushrooms, pumpkin leaves, spinach,
beef, pork, and water parsley.
Seung Woo, is it delicious?
Seung Woo.
Seung Woo, are you okay?
My gosh.
Hey!
This is what happened, sir.
I was able to find out after interrogating...
every single person involved...
so that I could decide how to deal with it.
Good for you.
How incredible you are.
This would've never happened if you kept...
your heads in the right place.
No.
This accident was inevitable.
I want to talk to the person in charge!
- Hurry! - Sir, please.
I want to talk to the person in charge!
Are you the person in charge? Are you?
I'll take that.
What's the matter?
Look at his face.
He got rashes after eating this chicken!
Is your wife not here with you?
What?
Are you saying I failed to take care of my kid?
Please calm down.
Korean dads are...
I mean, realistically speaking,
only dads who have no jobs are fully aware...
of their children's health conditions.
So may I please talk with your wife first?
Drink this.
Okay, then. We've taken care of the problem.
What are you talking about?
I said he's allergic to walnuts and peaches.
What in the world did you feed my kid?
I'm not going to let this pass.
I'm going to tell the press about this...
and make sure your company shuts down.
You better keep that in mind!
But your wife says he's allergic...
to watermelon and sesame seeds.
What?
That's so different from what I remember.
It's absurd, isn't it?
Your wife felt the same because she said,
"That little jerk."
"This is not the first time."
"I'm going to kill him when he comes home."
I heard her say that beneath her breath.
I think she wanted me to warn you beforehand.
Anyway, I'd still like to sincerely apologize...
for my employee's careless mistake.
Therefore, it would've happened anyway...
because of the dad's mistake.
Well, even so...
It's still a fact that your team made a mistake.
That's right.
Every single person made a mistake...
in the process of delivering that note.
Therefore, the entire team holds responsibility!
You're known for...
making a mistake and never apologizing.
But since you admitted to your faults,
I guess I could just let it pass this one time.
Sir, what do you mean?
I didn't do anything wrong.
There he goes again.
Why are you going back on your word?
You just said your whole team is responsible.
Did you not hear me?
I was talking about my employees,
not myself.
Baek Jin Sang's a professional at being...
a total jerk.
I perfectly took care of the situation...
by dealing with my employees' mistakes...
and even politely apologizing...
for what they did wrong.
I know you're trying to get away with this,
but the person in charge is always responsible.
Then...
And out of all the times he was a total jerk...
According to the list of people in charge,
Ms. Choi is responsible for what happened...
since she was in charge of all the menus.
Today was the worst time ever.
- My gosh. - Seriously?
It was incredible.
Okay, everybody.
- Who are we? - Sales Team!
- Sales Team! - Sales Team!
- Great! I'll be back. - Okay.
- Sales Team! - Sales Team!
What's wrong?
Is Ms. Choi today's sacrifice?
Is it Ms. Choi today?
This happens every single time.
Ms. Choi will always be with us.
She won't be lonely.
Even if I die...
and die again 100 times and more.
My skeletons will become dust...
and my soul is nowhere to be seen.
My hatred toward the team leader...
will never leave me.
All right. Cheers.
- Cheers. - All right.
Let's go.
All right. Who wants to take another drink?
- I'll take one too. - Sounds great.
This is great.
Right.
Goodness, this is really great.
Drink up. There's nothing much to life.
I'll get going first.
My wife has to go to her shift.
I have to babysit.
I have to catch the last train too.
Yes, let's go.
No one cares if we stay anyway.
Ms. Lee, do you want to leave with us?
It'll look bad for us to leave all at once,
so I'll leave in a bit.
Okay, Ms. Lee. I'll get going. I'm sorry.
I really hope I leave my mind...
at home tomorrow.
Yes, goodbye.
You should take a drink from me too.
Darn it. He makes me want to drink even more.
Mr. Baek.
I have a meeting early tomorrow.
Come on, you are an expert in this game.
Here. Drink more.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Thank you.
- News flash. - This is great.
The police are under investigation for...
the cause of the fire based on accounts...
of the people in the neighborhood.
They do not know how many were damaged by the fire.
- Here. - Yes.
That's it.
Yes, nice.
Come on, drink that. Bottoms up.
It must be bitter.
It serves you right.
You should drink up and...
(Die.)
die.
All right.
Ms. Lee, I never knew you were like this.
Ms. Lee, you have such a charming side.
Here, take a glass.
- Sure. - Take it.
Okay.
Why did you sit here?
A get-together is a chance for all departments...
to mingle and befriend one another.
Right.
I can't believe you had something this good alone.
Shame on you.
You can order this with your team.
Oh, I can't order it over there.
I'll pay you back.
How?
Is anyone from the marketing team here?
Wake up.
Hey.
My goodness. What are we going to do?
- Darn it. - Mr. Baek.
Goodness.
- She's here. - Mr. Baek.
- Mr. Baek. - Drink up.
Can you give me a hand?
- Drink up. - Mr. Na.
All right.
Mr. Baek.
Darn it.
Mr. Kang?
Me?
- Be careful. - Goodness.
I'm in this mess because of that stew.
I just want to go home too.
Where do you live?
Around Bangbae-dong.
Hey, I live in Seocho-dong.
We live really close by.
Right.
- So what? - I had
A blind date for once
We talked on the phone for the first time
I really love the sound of her voice
We have the same hobby, the same personality
The same values, the same dreams
Excuse me, I live near Kkachisan.
- Where do you live? - What?
I live near Moran Market.
What was that?
This is a really profound song.
The closer you live,
the better it is for you to date someone.
Ms. Lee, do you have a boyfriend?
What if I don't?
Mr. Baek, are you okay?
- My goodness. - Goodness.
Mr. Baek.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, no.
Ms. Lee, let me go get some wet tissues.
- Stay here, okay? - Mr. Kang.
Mr. Baek. My gosh.
Mr. Baek. Get a hold of yourself.
I have to go now.
My gosh, what on earth did he eat?
It smells awful.
My gosh.
Who dares to stand in my way?
Mr. Baek!
Mr. Baek, stop!
Mr. Baek, come here, will you?
You're driving me crazy. Don't go anywhere.
(Assistant Manager Choi Min Joo)
Yes, Ms. Choi. The get-together is over.
But Mr. Baek got completely wasted, and...
Mr. Baek...
Mr. Baek?
Are you all right?
- What happened? - Is he dead?
Mr. Baek.
- He's bleeding. - Goodness.
Mr. Baek!
Can someone... 911.
911. Can anyone call 911?
Hello? There is a car accident.
- Mr. Baek. - Someone got hurt.
I'm sorry that I hoped...
you would die during the get-together.
I didn't know that you'd really die like this.
Oh, no.
- My goodness. - My gosh!
- Mr. Baek. - Did he die?
Mr. Baek!
What was that?
A dream?
(Episode 2)
Goodness.
Hey.
Mr. Baek!
- Is he okay? - What happened?
Darn it. This is awful.
Should I just kill you?
That hurts.
How dare you complain about my food?
- Eat up. - I am eating.
Eat every single grain.
With a smile.
- It's so good. - Right?
There's a saying that I'm reminded of.
It's this.
“The day that you lived in vain today..."
"is a tomorrow that someone..."
"who died yesterday truly wanted to live.”
- I wanted to say this. - Is he repeating that?
Goodness, are you coming just now?
When will Ms. Choi go on a leave?
Currently, Ms. Choi is in her 27th week.
(MW Chicken, Lee Roo Da)
Mr. Baek.
Good morning.
He's late twice in a row.
That never happened before.
Jung Hwa.
Is something wrong?
The elevator broke down,
so they called 911, and things were chaotic.
What? It broke down yesterday too.
What? It was fine on Tuesday.
No, it wasn't.
By the way, it wasn't Tuesday.
Yesterday was...
Isn't this a problem?
What if it breaks during the tasting event?
The kids' parents are really fussy.
Tasting event?
(November 7, Wednesday)
Wait. Then what did we do yesterday?
What?
I'm sorry for being late.
Ms. Choi?
- Yes? - Shall we have a talk?
She's right. During our team dinner...
after the event,
let's order as much as we want.
No way. I'm not going.
I don't understand this.
Ms. Lee. My kid suddenly has a fever.
- I must leave. - I just can't.
Hey!
I seriously can't!
According to the list of people in charge,
Ms. Choi is responsible for what happened...
since she was in charge of all the menus.
No matter how many times I see him,
he cannot be understood.
I'm in this mess because of that stew.
Did I have a precognitive dream?
About Mr. Baek's death?
No, that's not right.
Even precognitive dreams about babies...
are dreamt by family members. So why me?
Where do you live?
Around Bangbae-dong.
What? A blind date for once
We talked on the phone for the first time
I really love the sound of her voice
We have the same hobby, the same personality
The same values, the same dreams
Excuse me, I live near Kkachisan.
Where do you live?
- I live near... - Moran Market.
You know this song, don't you?
No way. It is a precognitive dream.
Mr. Baek.
No!
Do you know how much these cost?
Ms. Lee, let me go get some wet tissues.
Mr. Kang. Don't go.
Please don't go. Please.
You can't go.
- I'll be back soon. - Don't leave me here!
Mr. Baek.
Who dares to stand in my way?
Gosh, I am.
You'll die if you go there.
Go this way. Straight. Please.
Seriously. Gosh, that idiot.
No.
No!
Gosh, that's a relief. I thought he'd die.
What is this?
What?
(November 7, 3rd Wednesday)
It's the seventh again?
It's November 7?
Yes, it's November 7.
It's the same, old morning.
Is that such a surprise?
Just come out.
To make the tasting event more special...
I don't know the reason behind this occurrence.
But here are the facts.
Once the team dinner is done, Mr. Baek dies.
And then, the day repeats itself.
(Save Baek Jin Sang.)
From that day on,
my own covert mission started.
Do you know how much these cost?
Ms. Lee, let me go get some wet tissues.
Wait.
Look. Here are your wet tissues.
I'll wipe it off. Don't go anywhere.
Hold on a bit.
- You have some. - It won't take...
No, no, Mr. Baek. Stop.
Please wait. I'm almost done.
Mr. Baek.
No.
Mr. Baek!
(November 7, 4th Wednesday)
Let's see who will have the last laugh.
(List of Ways to Prevent Mr. Baek from Dying)
(Make him stay put: tie him, threaten him...)
Will you still die?
Tell me, you idiot.
Tell me.
Swallow it, Mr. Baek.
1, 2, 3.
He died of asphyxia.
Let's start having a fun team dinner
If he blacks out,
I'll just safely carry him home.
He died of acute alcohol poisoning.
Today's team dinner was abruptly canceled.
Turn around, Mr. Baek.
I'll just send him home early so that...
he won't need to drink at all.
A sudden death during one's 40s is not uncommon.
I'm in my 40s too.
Where are you taking me?
- We're almost there. - Where is everyone?
Just one night.
- Could you take him? - Wait.
Could he sleep here just for one night?
No, not me. Wait, not me.
- My team leader. Wait! - Goodness.
- Mr. Baek! - Let me go!
He needs to get in here, seriously!
What happened to him?
No!
I'm alone on a stranded island.
The day repeats itself on this stranded island...
in the middle of Yeouido.
There is no escape for me.
I heard you're going on a blind date tomorrow.
Really?
You're going on a blind date?
I'm not going to have my hopes up.
- Are you sure? - Your face says it all.
- You totally are. - I envy you.
What are you two doing tomorrow?
It's the same for me.
My husband will be late,
and I'll be watching my kid.
I have to go home and take turns...
watching the kids as well.
I'm sick and tired of living.
But still,
you're living a better life than I am.
- What's with her? - She must be exhausted.
I'm sorry,
but I'll just go home.
What? Ms. Choi won't be there either.
You should come.
Yes. Just have one drink.
It's okay.
Let's go.
The seventh.
And the seventh again.
There's no tomorrow.
I'm sick of this.
I'm so sick of this!
(November 7, 9th Wednesday)
Hey, wake up.
You might end up...
on the train to your death.
A nonstop service.
Are you sick?
Hey, come on out.
But the person in charge is always responsible.
Then according to the list of people in charge,
Ms. Choi is responsible for what happened...
since she was in charge of all the menus.
Why do I need to see this every single day?
I can't take it anymore.
Mr. Baek.
I think you crossed the line...
by being so mean to Ms. Choi...
in front of Director Na like that.
That's not something for you to say.
- Pardon? - Think about...
who made him get angry in the first place.
Are you talking about me?
What did I do?
You're the one who told on Ms. Choi that she left...
to take care of her kid at kindergarten.
Ms. Choi. Where's Ms. Choi?
She got a call from the kindergarten...
saying that her kid's sick.
So she left for a little while.
What?
I didn't tell on her.
I only said that...
because she left as soon as she got the call...
Something similar happened last time.
You didn't even check if she went there or not?
That means...
you're also responsible.
Responsible for what?
You weren't sure of anything,
but you acted like you knew everything.
- Hey, Jung Hwa. - Yes?
Do you know...
where Ms. Choi was during the tasting event?
Oh, yes.
She was with the reporters from Day News...
and Monthly Magazine...
since they're known for being really fussy.
What's wrong? Ms. Lee, are you okay?
You don't look so well.
You must be exhausted.
Today's more tiring than any other day.
Yes.
Today was such a long day for us.
I can't wait for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow,
and finally, the weekend. Don't you agree?
Yes, I agree.
That's what I thought too.
I was sick of today,
and I couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.
But...
what did I even know about today?
I always...
took tomorrow for granted,
but maybe that's only for people...
who spent today to its fullest.
There is a saying that I am reminded of...
as we begin another bright new day.
It's this.
“The day that you lived in vain today..."
"is a tomorrow that someone..."
"who died yesterday truly wanted to live.”
He always tells us such great sayings, right?
Yes.
To be honest, I used to hate that quote.
I was already tired of my repetitive life,
and it sounded like...
it was telling me to be more diligent.
But after I started this daily broadcast,
people started texting me saying...
I cheered them up or that I made them feel happy...
on their way to work.
After I started seeing people getting off...
the subway with a smile on their faces,
this is what I realized.
Being interested in your surroundings...
and trying small things...
are capable of changing not only your day...
but also the day of everyone else around you.
Yes?
What?
Oh, okay.
Ms. Lee, my kid suddenly has a fever,
- and the teacher wants... - You should go.
I'll take care of everything here.
Ms. Choi.
What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?
I mean,
why would you assume that I'd abandon my job?
I only told you...
because I was worried and startled.
Ms. Choi!
- Ms... - Hey, honey.
Where are you?
I got a call from the kindergarten,
and I think someone needs to go.
That's why I'm asking you to check on Joo Young.
Why does it always have to be me?
What?
This is my job.
I received just as much education as you did,
I graduated university,
and I took a test to get a job here.
You can't just tell me to quit...
and make it sound like you're doing me a favor.
I want you to take a paternity leave...
after I give birth to Cho Rong.
I'm not the only parent.
You said we're life partners.
That means we should...
take turns in taking care of our children.
A substitute?
Are you seriously kidding me?
The upper management would never hire a substitute.
They just want the best with what they have.
Let's just drop this.
Call Joo Young's teacher,
and go check on him right away.
And share everything that happens with me.
If you don't do a proper job,
you'll get fired by me first.
I'm so sick of doing this every day.
The kid at table four is allergic to these foods.
Please deliver this to Development Team for me.
Table four!
Okay, I'll take care of it.
Jung Hwa.
I'll deliver this.
You can carry on with your work.
Thank you.
I didn't have a specific reason for doing that.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm sorry, but may I call your wife?
There's something I need to check.
Oh, okay. Sure.
Can you tell me her number?
I just came to a realization...
that I wasn't the only one that was having...
a long, hard day.
Ms. Choi, what about the video?
The animation video?
Do you know the table we keep our belongings?
My coat's there.
If you check the right pocket,
- you'll find a blue USB. - Okay.
I'll go get it.
But you need to check if the video's okay first.
Mr. Baek.
Did you all enjoy...
today's event?
- Yes! - Yes!
Then now, it's finally time...
for the long-awaited moment.
This is for all of you that enabled...
MW Chicken to come this far.
This is a special, blockbuster event video.
"Today, it's you!"
Let's start watching it right away!
- Shrugging, shrugging - Shrugging, shrugging
- Good job - Good job
Nice job!
Let's look into the camera.
Look.
Mom, is that woman a dog?
I told you to look for...
the blue USB in my right pocket.
You took the light blue USB in my left pocket.
It was a video of Joo Young practicing...
for the talent show at the kindergarten.
But I was too busy to edit the video.
I'm sorry.
It was a video of your kid...
practicing for a talent show?
Yes.
I told you to check the video beforehand,
but you made a mistake... My goodness.
She just said he made a mistake.
This is bad.
Ms. Choi.
What do you think about resigning?
- Pardon? - You have work left,
but you get off early to pick up your kid.
The next day, you have work from yesterday,
but you come to work late.
And you cannot edit your precious video...
of your child's growth.
We will have a bigger problem soon.
Shouldn't we find the root of the problem...
to break off this vicious cycle?
Are you saying...
that mothers should stay only at home?
Are you telling me to be a stay-home mother?
Ms. Choi.
That is so old-fashioned in this day and age.
Ms. Choi, are you belittling the value...
of the work that full-time mothers do?
No, that's not what I meant.
I think you have a misconception...
about the value of doing housework.
Shall we look into this together?
Making snacks for kids,
reading them books,
ironing your husband's shirts,
and cooking for your in-laws.
In 2008, Korean Women's Development Institute...
divided the things they do into 37 categories,
and have calculated...
their salary for the amount of their labor.
The salary of a mother with two children was...
about 3,710 dollars per month,
adding up to 44,520 dollars annually.
Let's apply the inflation rate...
over the 10 years and compare it to your salary.
You have to consider the opportunity cost.
Don't you think you are way over the line?
- What? - You are taking out...
your anger on Ms. Choi.
You try to be reasonable, but you're awfully cheap.
Ms. Lee.
What are you doing?
Have you gone insane?
Insane?
I'm going out-sane, over-sane, and on-sane.
Fine. Let me tell you everything I wanted to.
The state insists that you have kids,
but at your work, people complain about...
how you value your kid over work.
What do you expect them to do?
A misconception about the value of chores?
Belittling the value of full-time mothers?
What kind of complete nonsense is this?
Is that something you should say to Ms. Choi,
who works hard to look after her first kid...
and keep the baby in her womb safe?
The husbands always make an excuse and say...
- Ms. Lee. - kids favor mothers...
and cry when they look after them.
I'm sure there are over 200 of you in here.
Shouldn't we gather them into an auditorium...
and let them hear this grand speech?
Tell me! Answer me!
- Goodness. - Say something!
- You jerk! - Goodness.
Ms. Lee, calm down.
My gosh.
I thought...
that I had no tomorrow anyway,
so I could do whatever I want.
But...
But the moment I thought I only had today to live,
like a present,
no, like a punishment...
No!
Tomorrow came.
(Feel Good to Die)
What's with Ms. Lee?
Does she not want to come to work anymore?
It's not like she committed a crime.
We're completely smitten by Ms. Lee.
I must have gone insane yesterday.
You did threaten me.
See? My hand is still shaking.
She definitely strangled me yesterday.
Baek Jin Sang! Die!
We always need a sacrifice when doing great work.
The result of this evaluation is...
I think something big will happen soon.
They'll try to kill him.
I'm saving your life, Mr. Baek.
