- Come out! - It's a misunderstanding.
- Please, let go. - Give me a break.
All you do is lie. How can I believe you?
What? You went to a hotel with your boyfriend?
You broke up last month. I looked into it.
How dare you lie?
Ma'am. That's not it.
- Please listen... - You got him...
a new phone so that I can't track him.
That's because Mr. Bong...
I searched everywhere and found that phone.
There was only one number saved in that phone.
Who do you think that was?
(Dasan Call Center)
Darn it!
It's you. What?
Do you have a side job at Dasan Call Center?
- No. - Are you his call girl?
- No. - How dare you...
- try to steal my husband? - That hurts!
That hurts!
"Must I do even this for my boss?"
At times, I ask myself that.
Every time, I convince myself,
"It's because he trusts me."
"That's why he entrusts me with a task like this."
I tell myself that.
But the reward for that foolish loyalty...
is always...
unpredictable.
(Don't touch! I'll kill anyone who steals!)
(Let's go, Jugglers)
(A Shoe Without Its Match Should Be Thrown Away)
(Day Off)
"Day off"?
The phone has been turned off.
Please leave a message...
Mr. Bong. Are you not coming to work today?
I didn't hear from you about that.
(Mr. Bong. Are you not coming to work today?)
I think your wife has the wrong idea about us,
so we'll need to explain.
9am.
New assistants training.
Fine. Next.
Next is to create a broadcast to improve...
the group's image.
Let's just skip to the plan.
Pardon? The plan?
The plan is...
The... The plan is...
to produce an internal broadcast...
and tie it to the TV campaign later on...
That's stale. Next.
It's stale?
Next is the college advertisement awards.
We'll film a promotional...
That's for the advertising department to do.
That sure is.
Next is YB's new product that...
Stop milking that. Next.
- Next is a refrigerator. - Next.
Cell phones were held to your ear before...
- Next. - You couldn't know this.
- YB Life Insurance... - Next.
Next.
Next up is...
Thank you.
I'm so hot.
- Aren't you hot? - Look.
Yes?
Sir.
- No more presentations. - Pardon?
Don't waste time drawing and making slideshows.
Write down just the content...
to fit on a single A4 sheet,
and email it to me from now on.
I'll return this afternoon after my conference.
If there's anything to add,
email that to me as well.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Does that mean we won't have meetings anymore,
just reports?
What choice do we have?
He doesn't want in-person reports, just by email.
In this age of communication?
You won't just let him do that, will you, sir?
What will you do?
This is all because...
he doesn't have an assistant.
An assistant...
figures out how the boss is feeling that day...
- and tips the employees. - That's right.
When a good time to request approvals is.
What we should be careful about.
But look.
We lack that messenger in the middle.
In other words,
there's no joint between the bones. What happens?
- It hurts. - It hurts.
It creaks.
Sir.
Have you still not figured him out?
Even if he gets the best assistant on earth,
he'll chop off their limbs and cover their...
eyes and mouths and render them useless.
(Qualifications of an assistant)
Pretending not to know even when you do.
Pretending not to see.
Pretending not to hear.
In other words,
you need to tell yourself to be a smart idiot.
Especially...
(Silence)
Like you don't have a mouth.
You must remain silent.
For example,
in the ancient times, when the master died,
the assistant died...
(An Assistant With a Crush on Her Boss)
(She's in our company.)
(She acted like his office wife.)
(Married man. Office wife. Boss' mistress)
That post is not true.
I've never once thought of him as a man.
- I'm being framed. - Sure.
You can ask Mr. Bong. He'll clear it up.
Ms. Jwa.
The company is not a court...
that argues wrong or right and uncovers the truth.
You should take some time off...
until you hear otherwise from HR.
Why should I do that?
I did nothing wrong.
Why must I take time off?
Why must I be treated this way?
As you must know,
Mr. Bong is up for a promotion right now.
He's been chosen to be the senior MD...
of the chairman's secretary staff.
You should know better.
Then...
what about me?
What...
happens to me?
We'll say you're awaiting assignment...
until the reassignments are done.
(Imbecile)
The phone has been turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
There will be charges after the beep.
I'll join the chairman's secretary staff first...
and find you a spot there.
(I'll join the chairman's secretary staff first,)
We can't both die.
Thanks for everything until now.
(Thanks for everything until now.)
Thanks?
Thanks.
Bye, Yoon Yi.
We'll see you again, right?
Take care of yourself.
Yoon Yi.
Isn't this yours?
(An Assistant With a Crush on Her Boss)
I'll finalize it like this.
Okay.
Enjoy your dinner.
- Go. - Okay.
- Hi, honey. - Hey.
I don't think this will work.
What then? I don't have time.
Just a minute.
Hurry.
Are you done?
Mr. Bong.
There's a step. Be careful.
- Okay. - One.
Two.
This is an anti-hangover drink.
Make sure he drinks it when he gets home, please.
Thank you.
Hello? Daughter?
Yes.
What is it? Are you in a meeting?
No. What's up?
I was wondering what time you're arriving...
so that I can pick you up.
- What? - Don't tell me...
you forgot.
Are you kidding me right now?
How could you forget your dad's memorial?
For three consecutive years?
Darn it.
You look after your boss, his wife, kids, cousins,
even his dog, but you can't remember...
your dead father's memorial?
You ungrateful child!
Mom. That's not it.
Listen to me.
Does the company award you for doing that?
Do they give you a big raise?
What's the point in living with your phone...
and running around chasing your boss?
You can't even live as a decent human being.
- Mom. - If you're going to...
live like that for that tiny salary,
just quit your job.
That's right, I quit! I quit!
I'm a terrible child,
and I don't even remember my dead dad's memorial.
The company said they don't need me either.
Happy? Are you happy now?
Yoon Yi...
What did I do so wrong?
All I did...
was work hard and do what I was told.
Even if I gave...
much more than I received,
I really gave it my all.
They bled me dry when they needed me,
but they throw me out...
when I get in their way? Am I that worthless?
Am I?
Do they think I'm a puppet with no pride?
Darn it.
I hate everything!
(Vice President)
I'll have to go before your friend comes, Uncle.
I'll be back again next year.
People will think I'm stalking you.
You can't deny it.
We could've just come together and saved gas.
If you'd save your words, maybe next year.
You should be grateful while I nag you.
Once I die, you'll have no one left.
Is that a threat?
I'd be moved if you'd take it as a threat.
Get an assistant. This is a threat.
- No. - Locating you...
is harder than predicting where the market will go.
Making life difficult for people is my specialty.
That's why I want to be alone.
You can't do that.
- I told you... - Sir.
- You can't smoke in here. - I'm sorry.
- Stop it. - Hey, hey.
- Let's go. - I didn't do anything.
How long will you be like that?
Do you know what my father-in-law's motto,
and the family's motto is?
"Confront head-on."
Even if you die soon, confront it.
Day or night, confront it head-on.
How appropriate for a military family.
When I first went to ask for permission to marry,
he had my mother-in-law fill a platter...
with peaches.
I was allergic to peaches.
He said to face my allergy head-on.
He said he couldn't give his daughter to someone...
who's afraid of peaches.
He was a frightening man.
Maybe he did that because he didn't like you.
Whatever the reason, after eating all of that,
I almost died, but got my wife.
The strange thing is,
I was able...
to eat peaches little by little since that day.
Don't just avoid it like a coward.
Give it a try, punk.
Confront it head-on.
You're on fire today.
See? Even his swing is different.
You'd give the pros a run for their money.
Goodness, people.
Stop flattering me. I can't handle it.
Did you hear?
This month's newsletter is all gone.
No way. Like anyone reads that.
Look.
You can't read it even if you want to.
The female employees took them all.
He's not the type to show his face on these things.
Nam Chi Won was chosen as the most charming...
by the female employees at a recent event.
The publication team begged and begged...
and finally got one photo.
People have no taste.
They think if you close your mouth,
burrow your brows, and stand like this,
you have a lot going for yourself.
All he has is some connections.
But sir.
There's a rumor Mr. Nam won't use an assistant...
in order to become the next vice president.
True. Since their reputations...
initiate with their assistants.
In other words, no one will be badmouthing him,
so it will help him get a promotion?
You conniving little punk.
Conniving punk?
What?
You just figured that out?
Gosh. Oh no.
Do you know something?
The next VP is me, me
Me, me
(Line One)
Hey. It's me.
Find an assistant for Nam Chi Won.
Yes. Find someone he'd absolutely hate.
Come on, man.
Of course, it must be a player like us.
Okay.
The bathroom is outside to the left.
Why did I suddenly get the chills?
Chili is in the corner on the right.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Yoon Yi.
Are you dead?
Not yet.
Yoon Yi.
Get up. We brought porridge.
Porridge?
I want to die.
Let's go to Jung Ae's for a change of scenery.
I want to disappear for good.
Don't be stupid, and get up.
Forget me. Go by yourselves.
You'll really...
Hey. Step aside. Step aside.
Are you insane?
Yoon Yi.
I can't eat.
No?
Hey.
It would be weird if you felt fine.
If you got laid off like that,
you should've ripped out all of that jerk's hair,
or scratched up that Misery's face.
You got kicked out without saying a peep.
How could you not be sick inside?
She wasn't kicked out. She's awaiting assignment.
Hey.
You sound like she should be happy about that.
Don't try to start a fight.
Listen to yourself.
You're saying she should...
stay down until she gets an assignment.
Should she beat up her boss like you...
and get fired?
- Why would you say that? - Hey, I feel sick.
He was grabbing my butt. Would you just take it?
How could I leave him alone?
Drive properly.
Well, speak properly.
What did I say wrong?
Hey. Why you...
What did you just say to me?
It's so nice.
Try to eat a little.
Yoon Yi.
At least drink some soup.
It'll help your stomach.
Thank you.
Wow. Awesome. Jung Ae.
I'm not just saying this.
You are the reincarnation of Dae Jang Geum.
Eat up.
It's so nice...
seeing you guys.
Have you been sick?
You do look like you've lost weight.
No. Everything's fine with me.
How are you always fine?
I envy you.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Gun Woo goes to his grandma's place often.
He must prefer...
being with his grandma than with me.
Jung Ae.
To kids their age, their moms are their prey.
They think rebelling is a right.
- Hey. - It's true.
Am I wrong, you wretched youths?
When is your husband coming home?
His business trip is running long.
It is. They keep getting longer and longer.
It's not fair that you're stuck out here alone.
You still see him only on the weekends.
Actually, since Gun Woo has to go to school,
I talked to him about it a few times...
And you were turned down.
Yes.
Jung Ae. Just threaten to divorce him.
It's because you're always so obedient...
that he won't listen.
Hey. What if he really divorces me?
This is so frustrating.
Jung Ae. You have a charger, right?
Yes. In my bedroom.
Hey. What have you been doing all this time?
Mr. Cho's social media.
I need to change my ID and post a comment.
Be right back.
You poor thing.
What a joke.
Jung Ae. Just put up with it.
You're better off than she is.
Actually, guys...
what do you think...
about my getting a job too?
Where is it?
- What? - Hey, hey, hey.
Lady Wang wants to get a job.
How ridiculous.
Why?
Do you need money?
Jung Ae.
Where's your husband right now?
Hey, are you drunk?
I told you earlier that he's abroad on business.
(Passport)
He left the country without his passport?
Where is he?
The truth is...
my husband...
My husband...
won't...
come home.
It's been over two months already.
(HR)
I'm sorry.
You haven't been assigned to a post this month.
(Jugglers)
(Assistant J... Married man... Boss...)
(Office wife... Stalker...)
(Assistant stalking her boss...)
Psycho.
How could she seduce her married boss?
She's done for good now.
Three worst bosses.
Touched, hit,
didn't pay.
Three worst assistants.
Disclosed, embezzled,
seduced.
Other companies won't take...
an assistant with a bad rep like that.
(Home equity loan monthly payment due.)
(Please pay by the 30th.)
Hello?
Yes.
Speaking.
What? Where?
What?
What do you mean?
Who's coming?
Your assistant...
How could an assistant...
be assigned without the VP's consent?
As soon as I heard from HR,
I felt like I should report to you right away,
and quickly got on my computer...
and emailed you right away.
What? You emailed me right away?
Yes.
You said to send all reports by email.
What are you doing? I've been looking for you.
Have a nice day.
(Jwa Yoon Yi)
This is the department details and numbers.
This is Mr. Nam's profile.
I see.
It's slim. He doesn't share much information.
It would be in your benefit...
to figure out how he is quickly.
Don't you worry.
How the boss is depends on the assistant.
Wait up. Let me approve this first.
How could you throw some random person on me?
Did you see her?
- Your new assistant. - No.
And I never will.
Try to get along.
Cancel the assignment.
It's up to the boss to train the assistant.
Whether she'll be a useless scarecrow,
or a business partner that will stay with you...
depends all on you.
Do your best.
Why are you doing this to me?
Right?
Who did something so thoughtful to you?
Our meeting today...
and our numerous conversations to come...
are all off the record. Do you understand?
But...
Why did you recommend me...
for the post here...
Take this first.
Smile.
Put in your number.
Don't take my picture. Put in your number.
My phone number?
I heard you were quick,
but I guess we've had you isolated for too long.
Here you go.
We won't be meeting offline like this again.
I'll call you quietly only if I need you.
You must pick up by the third ring.
I have to answer your call?
Why?
What? You should know...
how to show gratitude.
In this bad market, awaiting assignment...
means you should resign. You know that.
There are many who wait and rot for years on end.
And I plucked you out from there.
So what should you do?
You're saying I should be loyal,
swear devotion, things like that, right?
Darn it.
You finally get me.
What...
do you want from me?
Not much.
When I ask,
send me Intel on your boss discreetly.
Survival is about the right connections.
You need to make the right connections.
Your reputation is in the gutter right now.
You need to pick that back up, don't you?
That's why you should grab the lifeline...
while I hold it out for you.
It's my number. Save it.
Do you know what my nickname is?
No, sir.
Cutter.
If I don't think you're one of mine,
I cut, cut, cut.
If you don't want to be a kite without a string,
stick to me, okay?
(Restricted Area)
Okay. Survival comes first.
(Cho, Cutter)
It's the same YB,
but maybe it's because this is an ad agency...
It's nice that assistants can dress casually.
I like how they don't have to wear uniforms.
Excuse me.
Remember how you gave me my shoe at headquarters?
How...
I picked it up at that hotel restaurant.
Hotel?
Oh, no.
Hello.
Why is he going that way?
Is she new?
Hey. Hey. Hey!
You can't just walk in there like that.
Sir, I just emailed you regarding our plan.
Jwa Yoon Yi?
I guess you've already met our managing director.
Managing director?
I'm sorry...
to bother you while you're on a business trip,
but I have urgent news.
They say...
we're getting new assistant...
in our department.
Awesome.
Mr. Nam.
Aren't you going to eat?
- I can run out and get... - It's okay.
- Would you like coffee... - I'm fine.
Get to work.
Yes, sir.
- If you need anything... - I do not.
Yes, sir.
Okay, then.
Let's set things up first.
- Hello. - Oh, my gosh.
- You startled me. - What's your name?
I'm Jwa Yoon Yi. And you?
- Who are you? - Is it "Ja" or "Jwa"?
Jwa as in left, not right.
That Jwa Yoon Yi.
But...
Who are you?
Don't be shocked.
Here.
(Hwangbo Yool, Sports Business, Director)
I gave you a heads up so you don't go,
"A kid this young is a director already?"
I'm sorry.
It's nice to meet you, Director Hwang.
What?
That was sexual harassment.
I'm not "Director Hwang,"
but "Director Hwangbo."
My first name is Yool.
I see. I'm sorry.
Do you get it now?
"A kid this young is a director already?"
Yes.
The past chairman was Hwangbo Man.
The current chairman is Hwangbo Joon.
You're part of the next generation?
You're quick at assessing the situation.
And you have a beautiful smile.
I've been searching for an assistant...
that perfect.
Would you consider moving your desk down there?
Pardon?
Think about it. I'll be good to you.
Mr. Nam. What underwear are you wearing?
I know.
I know...
you're wearing boxers.
Boxers?
Are they close?
You asked why I need an assistant,
but you get yourself a perfect assistant...
How do you know...
whether she's perfect or incompetent?
I can tell just by looking.
I've gone through 88 assistants already.
Do you know those 88 assistants gathered...
and created a website to curse you out?
Awesome. Really?
(Hwangbo Yool Haters)
(0 results for Hwangbo Yool Haters)
Why can't I find it?
(Hwangbo Yool Hater Assistants)
Yes?
Sir.
Did you decide to move?
Come this way.
Wow. I was craving something sweet.
How did you know?
After 2pm,
you need to drink something sugary...
to relieve exhaustion.
Seeing the pepper flake caught in your teeth,
I figured you didn't have dessert.
Wow. Such shocking details.
Oh, no. I want to steal you from him.
Sir. By any chance...
are you close to Mr. Nam?
Gosh. My granny said to be careful...
of people who lure me in with sweets.
I tried asking around,
but no one knows much about Mr. Nam.
He hasn't been here for very long, either.
He doesn't make friends with just anyone.
Then how long...
have the two of you been close?
I guess you're not close to any assistant here.
- Sorry? - No one told you?
About what?
At 3pm, all the executives...
have to present their strategy reports.
Sorry?
Oh, no.
I have them on the line.
Hello? Yes.
Where's the email address?
What?
An assistant just has to make good tea...
and be a good driver?
Don't make me laugh.
We assess the situation at a glance...
and open up passageways that are blocked.
We eliminate anything that may discourage...
the players from performing their best.
We are always ready to fill in if necessary...
anytime, anywhere. We are omnidirectional.
We use our hands, feet, and head...
to obtain the greatest efficiency...
in the least time.
That's right. We are...
the mighty multiplayers.
- Amazing. - Awesome.
Awesome
What are you doing?
Our Yoon Yi...
- Sorry for being loud. - We're sorry.
Fix the typos.
Refer to other successful cases and make it better.
Yes, sir.
What?
You call this a report?
It's a talisman.
He's like the annoying teacher.
Darn it.
Doing just what you're told...
is the same as barely working.
If you're going to do it anyway,
you must add 1 to 100...
to become a true pro.
Have a nice meeting.
I don't bring assistants to meetings.
Get out.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how the meetings here work.
Okay, then.
Have a good meeting.
Darn it. When the office is empty,
he should leave it open...
at least by this much.
(Successful Cases)
What?
He forgot this.
Oh, no.
(Elevator Maintenance)
This is insane.
I'm going crazy.
(Conference Room)
Recently, there has been a wave...
of advertisements with families as the subject.
So our advertisement planning department...
plans to market products based on...
affordable fantasies that may be possible...
for families.
That's good and all,
but I don't want us...
to follow the trends too much.
If we want to make the first move...
and lead the market,
we'll have to change our attitude.
If you want to be a leader...
You have to pay attention to the small details.
Mr. Nam.
Here.
Yes, that's right.
We thought a lot about being first to move.
We're considering marketing utilizing...
digital signage, for example.
Signs are good too, but...
Excuse me.
Would you mind...
I'm sorry.
Next, the video business.
What's your strategy for this week?
Okay. We plan to air...
a series of internal videos...
entitled, "Do you have a Plan B"?
within the company.
On Thursday,
we will air an analysis of a company...
that successfully carried out their Plan B.
Royal Dutch Shell, a British oil company,
prepared for an oil crisis,
and when the oil supply was threatened...
What was that, Mr. Nam?
Crisis?
Mr. Nam.
Why...
did you say assistants would not be present?
As I said,
I do not bring assistants to meetings.
I have no need to.
But...
- meeting minutes... - I don't look at them.
If necessary, I take notes myself.
Then...
The material I put together...
Did you leave it behind intentionally?
Yes.
It lacked credibility.
You've been in our department for half a day.
Let's just say...
I'm not thick-skinned enough to present it...
to the heads of each department.
Okay, then.
Even if you are a skilled multiplayer,
if the coach won't put you in the game,
you have to sit on the bench.
If I end up becoming a player like that,
what am I supposed to do?
I didn't have...
that Plan B.
Is it because it's near a train station?
It's so expensive.
Excuse me, Mr. Nam.
- Go home. - No, that's not it.
Aren't you going to have dinner?
If you'd like, I can run out and pick up...
something light, like a sandwich...
Ms. Jwa.
Yes, sir. Go ahead.
Do you have plans after work?
No, I do not.
Do you want to eat with me then?
With me? Together?
Yes.
- Forget it, then. - No, it's fine.
I mean, I'd love to.
Mr. Nam is buying dinner?
That's not how he works.
Hey. What did I say? This is fate.
Yoon Yi. Send me your boss' birthday and time.
Why? To check their compatibility?
He must feel bad for being mean to me earlier.
Bye, my dear friends.
- I... - I...
Go ahead.
You go first.
Okay.
Well... The day...
I lost my shoe...
What you saw at the hotel...
That was due to a misunderstanding.
That has nothing to do with me.
Must I know?
No. Not at all.
Good.
I think I ate too much for lunch.
I'm full already.
What about the sound your stomach made earlier?
It was my stomach digesting...
since I ate so much.
What were you trying to say earlier?
Why don't you continue?
Is your knee okay? The one you hurt that day.
Yes, it's fine.
It was just a small bruise.
But just in case, you shouldn't wear high heels.
That's true, but I have to wear heels...
- to look good... - There's no need.
If you're doing it for others, don't do it.
Wear flats. Something with heels less than 3cm.
You may wear slippers when indoors, too.
Slippers?
That loud click clack of your heels...
are very annoying.
Since we're on the topic,
there are some rules I'd like you to adhere by.
Smiling often is fine, but smiling for no reason...
makes you look silly.
It may offend some people as well,
so be careful.
And refrain from knocking...
on my door so much.
Please do not come into my office...
unless I page you from now on.
Also, you keep asking if I need something...
as if you're working for customer service.
That's a big nuisance and a burden.
It seems you're asking other assistants about me.
It is very offensive,
having someone dig into my life.
If you have time for that, spend it on...
learning your job or developing yourself more.
But...
But a big part of my job...
can only be done by knowing about you.
Why is that?
- Pardon? - Why must you...
know everything about me?
Do all assistants do that?
Then are you telling me...
to just sit around...
and do nothing?
- That would be great. - Mr. Nam.
I am not a flower in a vase.
Yes, I know.
That is why I'll make you an offer.
Request a change of assignment with HR.
I'm sure there is a department...
that needs your talent and skill.
I'm sorry, but I do not.
Anyway, thanks for today.
Thanks.
"Thanks" again?
What the...
They say that one word, and it's all over?
Hey, hey, hey. Awesome.
You and your boss...
are soulmates, destined for each other.
Congratulations.
You met your soulmate.
You crazy wench. Seriously.
(Congratulations. You met your soulmate.)
(Epilogue)
Excuse me.
Gosh.
Darn it.
Please get out. We're busy.
I got on first.
I opened the door.
Come on, people.
Good job.
