You need to take off these clothes.
What... Already?
It's a little too soon.
I meant I'll go and change out of my wet clothes.
I see. Get back safely, sir.
Did you just have a racy thought?
No, not at all. Of course, not.
I did not.
- Towel. - Sorry?
Wait a minute. I'll be right back.
What should I...
Yes. This one is sexy too.
Yes.
The back is pretty for this top.
I look so girly.
Double ribbons are the best.
You look pretty.
Smile.
How cute.
Good.
Welcome back.
I'm at the wrong house.
Where are you going?
Put things back to normal.
Your face, your clothes.
I like the original Yoon Yi.
Are there any movies on?
They're all shopping channels.
Did you crank up the heat?
No.
I didn't...
Why are you eating your hair?
Pardon?
Because I feel awkward...
and happy.
Hey, Mr. Nam.
Yes?
It's a little...
uncomfortable to call you Mr. Nam at home.
So?
How about coming up with pet names?
For example...
Strawberry.
Chocolate.
Honey.
Something like that?
You have a great name.
Why do you want to be called as a food?
I really don't understand it.
You're picking at it again.
Forget it, Mr. Nitpick.
From now on,
I'll call you Mr. Nitpick.
It's better than being called a food.
The crepe is complete.
Pop the egg yolk.
If you roll the crepe like gimbap...
Everyone!
It's on.
We're waiting for 2018.
- 10, 9, 8, - We'll count down!
- 7, 6, 5, - 7, 6, 5,
- 4, 3, 2, - 4, 3, 2,
- 1! - 1!
It's the new year!
Congratulations on turning 30.
Just with words?
I wish you all a happy new year.
Have a happy new year.
You thought it was over, didn't you?
(Hey,)
(it's a secret.)
(Episode 10)
It's so pretty.
I'll be back.
Mr. Nam.
It's early for me,
but I'll go since Raccoon has to go.
- "Raccoon"? - Yes.
You kind of look like a raccoon.
Get on.
There will be traffic soon.
Here comes Raccoon.
Let's go, Mr. Nitpick.
How pretty.
- Really? - Yes.
The necklace...
looks a lot better when worn.
It's only a souvenir.
No, it's not.
Pardon?
After the cake incident on my birthday,
I thought you might really move departments.
That's why...
I made a big mistake to a woman.
What should I do to make up with her?
(Go on your knees and buy her flowers.)
(Necklaces are the best.)
(Beautiful flowers!)
(I vote for a necklace.)
(I would get a necklace too!)
(Bag, necklace, flowers, ring, perfume)
Necklace got the most votes.
What about the design?
(What about the design?)
You can't buy a necklace...
for every woman just to make up with them.
You should only do it with your girlfriend.
Okay, I understand.
It was fine earlier. What happened?
What do we do?
Gosh...
I'm sorry, but...
Wait... Right turn!
Sir, right now!
- Now? - Hurry, hurry.
Now. No!
- Hurry, hurry. - Fast, fast.
Hurry, hurry. I'm sorry!
I'm so cold.
Your face is ice cold.
It's so warm.
Hello.
At 10am, Mr. Park will see you.
At 11:30am, we have a brainstorming meeting.
At 2pm, you have a meeting with YB Trading.
At 4:30pm, you have a meeting with...
the special telecast team.
Also,
at 7pm,
you have...
a splendid dinner scheduled with Raccoon.
At 8pm, you're watching a movie,
and at 10pm, you'll go home together.
This schedule cannot be adjusted.
Do you have a runny nose?
Why do you have a nasal voice?
The rough edit is ready for your view.
Be careful from now on.
A sinus infection...
needs to be taken care of right away!
- I'm sorry. - Okay?
I'm sorry.
Hey.
Don't you know how to knock?
I knocked many times.
Yoon Yi.
Yes?
Let's talk.
Since when did it happen?
Well...
Since when did the two of you...
- Gosh. - Please, Mr. Gong.
Can you pretend you didn't see it?
- Please... - We can't hide this.
Please, Mr. Gong.
I knew Mr. Nam was cold,
but I thought he was reasonable.
But, how could he...
He didn't do anything wrong.
It was me. It was my fault.
On the elevator earlier,
he slapped you. Right?
- Pardon? - He twisted your nose.
I won't let this pass.
I'm going to report him.
You should trust me.
No, Mr. Gong.
Please, calm down.
I'll talk to him directly.
I'll do that.
Yes.
I will.
Will you?
Yes.
Okay, then.
But, if it happens again,
you must share with me.
My name doesn't mean "to share" for nothing.
Yes, I will share.
I was worried for nothing.
Gosh, my heart.
Mr. Hwangbo.
Ms. Wang, bring me English newspaper...
and an espresso to my office.
Okay.
Nothing much happened.
This is great. It's waking up my whole body.
Did you research what I asked you to?
Here it is.
Those are the games kids like these days.
I also included comments about...
the type of games they would like to see.
Great.
"Great work".
Thank you.
Gosh. How startling.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Hey, is Mr. Hwangbo going to an event?
No.
Why is he wearing a suit all of a sudden?
He says a suit makes him feel tense.
He wants to work harder.
Guys look best in a suit.
You know, when guys roll up their sleeves...
during work and you see their muscles,
it's so sexy!
I feel so shy.
I came to get coffee.
Water. Okay.
It's hot.
- Hello. - Where should we put it?
Where did those apples come from?
My mother-in-law sent them over.
We can share these.
Mi Ae and Yoon Yi, cut them up for everyone.
Okay.
Why are you making them do it?
Pardon?
Whoever wants to eat it can cut it for themselves.
If you want to boast, then cut them yourself.
Why are you telling them to cut it?
It's not their job.
An assistant is a boss' work partner.
They're not here to pick up after everyone.
You're right. I went over the line.
Mi Ae, where is the fruit knife?
Fruit knife?
I'll eat it as is.
- I'll eat it as is too. - Yes, that's healthier.
This must be why people date at work.
We can see each other every day at the office.
You took my side earlier.
Also, it's kind of thrilling...
to keep it a secret.
What is this?
I saw you preparing for the presentation.
You're a professional.
I learned it all from you.
Why is he here?
I thought you said this place was safe.
- Oh, no. What do we do? - Wait.
What are you doing?
Here.
First, let's get out separately.
- You go first. - Okay.
What are you doing here?
I...
I came on a blind date.
- A blind date? - Yes.
Mr. Nam?
How many men are you seeing?
Pardon?
You have someone you're seeing at home,
then you have someone else you see outside.
What do you mean?
You've gotten really pretty lately.
I thought you might be dating.
Never mind, if you're not.
Mr. Cho ruined everything.
Why did he have to show up there?
I think I'll skip.
You should still eat dinner.
- Here you go. - What?
Okay.
- Have some. - Okay.
But...
I feel nervous for some reason.
It feels like Mr. Cho...
knows something about us.
He has people...
working for him everywhere.
I'm not saying that he knows something.
It's just a feeling.
Don't worry too much.
I'll take care of it.
I won't let you suffer in fear alone.
Just trust me.
Okay.
- Then, please take this. - What?
Mr. Nam.
(Senior Managing Director, Cho Sang Moo)
(New Year's Gifts and Cards List)
What is this? Is this all I got...
for this year?
They check internally now.
Many people decided to omit gifts.
Even still...
It's half of what I got last year.
They only gave me soap and toothpaste.
(New Year's Gifts and Cards List)
Return them all.
But sir.
It's important to keep a good relation with them.
Instead of returning all of them,
you should decline items over 30 dollars.
For anything below 30 dollars, you could...
donate the money to a charity...
YB is sponsoring under their names.
I couldn't think that far.
It's a great idea.
Then, I will send a thank you card...
to everyone that sent you a gift.
Okay.
I learned from you.
Okay. I'll do as you asked.
How far do I have to roll up?
Did you check the factory video testing the parts?
They insist they deleted it.
It may have been automatically backed up,
so look into that.
Yes, sir.
What about the informant?
He must be scared, since his job is at stake.
He hasn't been going into the factory for days.
I'll meet with the informant myself.
Then I'll go with you.
Excuse me.
Would you mind if I went instead?
I asked the community of assistants,
and the factory manager's assistant says...
one worker suddenly took a long term leave.
But that person...
- I know... - No.
is caring for his mother who has been ill...
all by himself.
Sir. We understand what you're worried about.
I hear he's struggling a lot.
I was thinking...
we can hook him up with the medical foundation...
that we're donating to this year,
and ask them to help him out.
Thus, as the captain of the department,
as the one in charge of marketing...
YB Electronics' smart TV that's being launched,
I will...
be speaking at the new product launch tomorrow...
before over 3,000 members in the industry and press.
Who will?
I will.
Darn it. Why aren't they here yet?
Okay.
Myung Suk. They sent the interview video.
Get it ready for editing.
Okay. Yes, sir.
Preview that interview...
and send it to me. Do that first.
- Yes, ma'am. - Good.
Thank you.
What do I do?
Does the video department have something to report?
Yes. No. I mean... So, the thing is...
If you don't have anything much,
let's just end the meeting here.
However,
since 2018 is the year of the dog,
the golden dog, at that,
we'd take employees born on the year of the dog,
and see...
who is working hardest like a dog.
We install cameras to watch them,
air the footage and based on the response,
we award that person with the golden dog award.
How happy would that dog who wins the award be?
Incidentally,
Mr. Nam was also born on the year of the dog.
Now,
it is time for society and the nation to step in...
and help those born on the year of the dog.
What is he saying?
- How much... - It's done.
- It's done. Here. - Good.
- Here, Hae Jin. - Okay.
Hurry up! The USB drive!
Here. Here.
- Is it here? - Okay.
- Send it. - Let's go.
Okay, let's go.
- Let's go! - We're ready!
It's getting too late.
Let's end the meeting now.
Anyway, Mr. Cho.
Make sure the presentation goes well without a hitch.
Yes, sir. Don't worry.
Who am I?
My apologies for being late.
There is something I must tell you...
about the new product launch...
the advertisement department is working on.
First, please look through the document before you...
while watching the video.
You'll protect my identity, right?
That part...
won't be fixable before the launch date.
We didn't find the source of the defect yet.
Why are you proceeding so recklessly then?
We just do what we're told.
Everyone is working together...
and pushing it forward.
They'll announce the product...
at the launch and all that,
but once a problem arises,
they'll play dumb,
and blame the factory for making faulty products.
It's annoying.
Chi Won, why you...
I'm terribly sorry.
Due to internal situations,
the launch has been postponed indefinitely.
Hello?
The product launch...
has been postponed indefinitely.
We can't tell you for security reasons.
It is confidential. We're very sorry.
Sorry about that.
We can't tell you why it was postponed.
It's confidential.
I'm sorry. I'll contact you again. I'm sorry.
What's going on?
Why was he in my office?
Stop.
Well... I'm sorry.
I was calling people about the cancellation.
Hey. Can't you multitask?
If you're on the phone,
you can't stop people from going into my office?
I'm sorry, sir.
What if I had confidential documents?
How could you let outsiders in?
Don't you know why I still use analog...
in this smart era?
Don't you know how I feel about security?
How dare you be lax about access to my office?
- I'm sorry. - How incompetent are you?
You're friends with Jwa Yoon Yi, right?
You didn't know that she and Chi Won...
were working together to stab me in the back?
Either be quick to notice things,
or be good at obtaining information.
You need to do at least one thing right!
Raccoon, what is the plan for dinner tonight? Over.
Mr. Nam.
Your friend?
Yes. I think I should go to her right now.
I'm sorry.
That big jerk.
Hey.
He was being shady and got caught.
Why is he taking it out on you?
He would've pushed it forward,
and once things went wrong,
he would've blamed someone else.
That two-timer.
I know that game well.
How do you know Mr. Cho so well?
- What? - You seem to know him...
better than me, who worked with him for five years.
Don't be like that.
Sorry, Bo Na.
I should've given you a heads up.
Would you have?
- What? - Would you have said...
that Mr. Nam was digging...
in order to ruin our project, and that...
you were helping him?
Would you have told me?
No, we weren't trying to ruin it.
- We were fixing a wrong. - Words are so easy.
Hey. Bo Na.
- Stop it. - Yoon Yi.
Everything comes easily to you.
You don't work hard, but your bosses respect you.
You're a smooth talker, so they do as you ask.
You smile, so everyone is nice to you.
You don't have to kill yourself like I do,
but everything goes well easily for you.
Do you...
- mean that? - Yes.
Yoon Yi.
You're just lucky.
That's why you didn't meet a rat like Mr. Cho.
That's why you got to work with a boss like Mr. Nam.
Because you're just lucky!
That's why...
you only have to worry about your own life.
Hey, Bo Na.
Ma Bo Na.
Dad.
Dad!
You got in a lot of trouble earlier...
because of me, right?
I'm sorry.
No.
My boss apologized...
later on, after you left.
He said he was sorry for saying such harsh things.
Give this to your landlord.
If he wants to increase the deposit again,
tell him you'll move out.
Say your daughter will buy you an apartment.
Say it confidently...
I mean...
Write it in big letters,
and put it on the landlord's front door.
Sorry. Every time.
You should benefit from a child working...
at a large corporation.
My smart daughter...
I'm sorry you were stuck with...
such bad parents.
Go on.
Dad!
It's too hard for me!
It's just too hard for me,
Dad.
You said you'd be late, but you came early.
You know,
I always liked...
watching other people.
"Why are her eyes so swollen today?"
"Why is she dressed like that?"
"Why is she having such a hard time?"
Well,
things like that.
So, you were always interested in others.
If you watch them like that,
you see their flaws.
I liked it and found it rewarding...
to help them with those flaws.
That's why I became an assistant.
But...
I couldn't read how my closest friend...
was feeling.
I was so stupid.
I don't know...
whether or not this would help,
but there's a line from one of my favorite animes.
"Promise me you'll always remember,"
"You are..."
"braver than you believe,"
"and stronger..."
"than you seem,"
"and smarter..."
"than you think."
What anime is this from?
What a gem of a line.
"Winnie the Pooh".
- Sorry? - "Winnie the Pooh".
Are you looking down on "Winnie the Pooh"?
It's just...
you and Pooh don't really match.
You know, you're kind of like Tigger.
Tigger looks a little like a raccoon.
(Koo Dae Gi, Hwangbo Family)
I'm Koo Dae Gi.
You work for the family?
I handle personal matters of the Hwangbo Family,
but my main role is communication between...
Yool and the adults.
What the...
Why are you coming to the office? How annoying.
The chairman has a message.
You won't take my calls, so I had no choice.
Thus, I had to...
What is it? I'm busy.
Okay, then.
"The e-sports business..."
"that you are pushing forward..."
"does not fit with our family's image."
"Thus, it is absolutely forbidden."
"That is all." That is what he says.
Do not try to do something on your own.
He said to just do what you are told.
That was his advice.
Just do as I say! You've always done what I said!
How could a person...
only do what they're told?
Can't they do what they want...
and like?
Ms. Wang.
My boss...
is working very hard on this e-sports business,
so can't you believe in him just once?
Please.
Also,
if you have a message for my boss,
do not show up like this. Call me instead.
Here is my business card.
I understand.
Yes.
His new assistant, Wang Mi Ae...
seems different from his past assistants.
Yes.
I think I should look into her.
Yes, sir.
Why are you so down?
It's nothing.
But... Where's Kyung Rae?
She stepped out because we have new beans coming.
I'll come back then.
(Nam Chi Won)
I'm sorry,
but I need to recharge my endorphin.
What is it that you wanted to say?
Sir.
How long have you been seeing Yoon Yi?
Why must I tell you that?
The truth is, I'm...
Yes, I know.
You were together for 2,000 days.
Did... Did Yoon Yi tell you?
Whatever.
You are the past,
I'm the present. That's all you need to know.
Then... Is that why you keep sending me away,
and picking on me during evaluations?
And why did you break my car's side mirror?
Wasn't that a bit much?
It's so cold. Isn't it cold?
I know. I need to go take a hot shower.
Let's hurry inside.
Oh, no. Keys.
Here.
It was caught on my dash cam.
I'm... I'm sure you saw wrong.
Why don't we start being professional?
I don't know...
if I can.
Dwelling on the past...
is your prerogative.
But presently,
you and I...
are employee and supervisor.
You should keep that in mind.
Mr. Nam. The thing is...
Chang Soo and I used to...
Forget it.
You don't need to tell me about your dating history.
Pardon?
The present is what matters.
How dare you mess with me?
Fine.
I'll tie you together and get rid of you both.
(Line One)
Hey. Did you look into it?
What does he like?
What?
Okay. Got it.
Okay.
The vice president has only one month left.
This side is much more useful.
And he's easier to manipulate.
What is this? Honey?
No. I'm proposing a new business.
You've heard of e-sports, right? Gaming.
I want to make a team.
E-sports is super famous right now...
Please, get to the point.
I want to make an e-sports specialty channel,
and develop content for videos as well.
But I don't know that side,
so I want to collaborate with your department...
But...
the content is very different from ours.
Exactly. That's why I think we should try.
We can start casually with a mobile game...
or promotional videos, things like that.
Would you...
please read it over, Mr. Nam?
Mr. Cho.
Is Mr. Hwangbo in?
Yes, sir.
Call him.
Sir. Mr. Cho is coming in.
Okay.
- Open the door. - Yes, sir.
Why is he bringing a gift?
- Iron man? - What's with that?
Holiday gift?
That must be it.
Come on, man. This is nothing. Calm down.
His eyes are supposed to flash like that.
This is something I really wanted.
How did you...
Come on, man.
I'm very interested in you.
So...
How's the chairman?
He's well. But why are you giving this to me?
I have no ulterior motive,
so don't worry.
I just want to be friends...
and get along, that's all.
I see. Friends. Get along.
You do social media, right?
Follow me.
Gosh. Here.
I'm still analog.
That's right.
Anyway, from what I hear,
you plan to expand...
- into e-sports? - Yes.
Then you'll need to create video content...
and shoot games, launch shows, things like that.
Yes, probably.
My department will help you with that.
We're awesome regarding publicity.
In exchange,
if I ask for help later on,
please hold my hand like this just once.
That's all I need.
You know,
this figure is a part of a series.
Did you bring just this one?
- A series? - Yes, a series.
That smiley little punk.
His head is empty,
but he's trying to rob me blind.
That rude little punk.
Corporate heirs need character training.
That rude little punk.
Do I have to search collectible stores again?
That rude little punk.
Darn it.
Yes?
Wow. I'm crazy popular today.
This is worth a shot.
- It has potential. - Really?
What's wrong?
- What are you doing? - Chi Won!
Thank you so very much!
- Please put me down. - Thank you so much.
Then in light of our two departments merging...
Here's to our departments collaborating together.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Long live our departments!
Cheers.
This is nice.
Yoon Yi, you're a good drinker.
Here's another.
Okay. Thank you, sir.
Okay. Here.
Bottoms up.
No drinking for a while.
You'll get sick again.
No. My face is too big.
It's huge.
I used to love this song.
You know this song?
Of course.
I used to sing it...
all the time at karaoke with my friends.
For the oath we made together
I can bet it all
This came out when I was in college.
Sorry?
Did you go singing since grade school?
Don't do it. Don't.
- Well... - Mi Ae.
Do you know a lot about this song?
This was the theme song for "Slam Dunk".
- Do you like that anime? - Yes.
Seo Tae Woong was the bomb.
"The bomb"?
He really was the bomb.
Right?
I love this anime.
This anime is a masterpiece.
You're right.
Actually, I know this song very well.
Because of you
I embrace passion exploding from my heart
And rise up
And I want to shout it out loud
Crazy for you
Slam dunk
Sir. You seem drunk. Shall we go?
Ms. Wang. You wanted to go for round two.
This isn't company dinner. This is labor.
I know.
Let's dump the oldies...
and just go clubbing by ourselves!
Clubbing!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Hey! Take me too! I'm a clubber!
Wait for me!
Now, it's time for "casual talk".
Gong Yoo. You are an insult to that name.
Change your name.
Mr. Nam. May I also say something?
You know what? I am...
six years older than you.
How dare you look at me like that?
I know.
Do you need to have everything?
You thief.
You have no conscience.
I won't give up.
I'll never give up.
Do you know what I did and how I felt...
to come here?
I refuse to give up!
Chang Soo.
Mr. Nam. Don't do it.
You're not sincere about this.
You'll mess with an innocent girl...
and end up with someone who's more at your level.
Say just one more word.
You must not know,
but she could never sit still...
if she sees someone she feels sorry for.
That's not love.
It's pity.
- Chang Soo. - Pitcher...
Stop it.
Mr. Nam. Oh, no.
Left. Right.
Left. Careful. Be careful.
- Okay. - I...
I landed more punches.
I hit him two more times.
That's right. I saw. I was counting.
You won.
Careful.
Lie down.
It's cold.
Mr. Nam. Come here.
Cold.
Gosh. That jerk.
He always becomes either a baby...
or a jerk whenever he drinks.
That annoying jerk.
When I think about how I supported that punk...
Will you...
give me 30 missed calls...
on my cell phone too?
What?
Will you...
give me 5 dollars...
to make sure...
I don't starve too?
You won't tame me like that...
and then disappear, will you?
I'll see how you are.
Just...
stick to me...
like glue.
Just like you do now.
Hello.
- Do Hee. - Dad.
- What brings you here? - I missed you.
Mr. Nam?
How have you been?
I've been good.
- How about naengmyeon? - Okay.
(Epilogue)
Here you go.
You look dashing as usual, Mr. Nitpick.
(You look dashing as usual, Mr. Nitpick.)
"Mr. Nitpick"?
An office romance?
Gather around.
- Yes? - Find out...
whose lips these are.
What's this?
- An office romance? - Who's Mr. Nitpick?
You first.
It isn't me.
Is it me?
Whatever.
Isn't that mine? Those lips look familiar.
- Someone wrote me again. - Is it yours?
- It isn't you. - No?
- What? - Nitpick.
- Well... - It's totally me.
- It really is me. - It is not.
Have you seen this before?
I think someone is having an office romance.
Do you know anything?
No.
I don't know.
Wait until I catch them.
They're dead.
