(On the Verge of Insanity')
Can you work in Human Resources with your temper?
Well, I'll probably learn...
the insurance coverage and attendance management easily.
As for the rest,
I'll do my best while I'm here.
There has been a change.
Baekho Electronics wants all of our key staff members.
Prevent them from quitting until the sellout goes public.
How am I going to stop that by myself?
The news will get around very quickly.
Why?
Do you not want to take me back?
I don't care how you think of me.
I'm going to stick around.
I will.
I'm sure you'll find developers who were born and raised in Changin.
Find someone who's friends with everyone,
and someone who can get their opinion across.
All right.
Let's make this work, Senior Manager Choi Ban Seok of HR.
We don't need to shake hands over this.
Yes, ma'am.
We're back.
Hi.
Mr. Choi will join our team starting today.
Hello.
Hello. I hope we get along.
What should I do now?
What do I need to do?
(Episode 3)
(Special Contract)
What? Do what?
One difficulty a day, one report a day.
Hear out the difficulties our staff experience every day,
then turn it into a report.
I thought I'd learn about the insurance coverage...
and attendance management.
The former can be done by any HR worker.
Also, I'd appreciate it you could be more enthusiastic...
about your work.
Then you could be more proactive...
and hear the staff out instead of telling me to do it.
- Mr. Choi. - Yes?
This is a very basic task.
What kind of attitude do our workers have?
How is the relationship with their superiors?
Do they have any complaints?
Do they want to get promoted?
Or do they want to change jobs?
Knowing the answers to all of these questions...
is a basic task for HR.
And yet, you refuse to do this?
You? A senior manager?
What's that attitude?
Do you not want to do it?
Or did you want to slack off for a bit then switch departments,
- but your plan fell through? - It's not like that.
I'm glad if that's not the case.
I want you to be their big brother...
and work hard.
- Be what? - Their big brother.
It suits you.
A big brother who's friendly with everyone...
and with whom they want to grab some drinks with after work.
Even my brother doesn't do that.
I emailed you the list of workers you'll speak with.
Print it and take a look.
Darn it.
Ms. Dang.
I can't speak with him.
Omit or replace him with someone else.
I have my reasons for doing this.
I know...
I know you do, but this is Mr. Han Se Gwon.
Don't you know about us?
- Yes, very well. - Then?
You should befriend those...
you dislike and feel uncomfortable with the most.
That's the fate of HR.
What about your fate? Tell me.
Aren't you the one...
who dislikes and feels uncomfortable with him the most?
You screamed at him back on the rooftop.
Submit the report by 7 p.m.
Isn't this abuse against your fellow employee?
What did you say?
It is. She's abusing me.
Mr. Choi Ban Seok, you've signed up...
to our software architecture license class.
The class will begin at 7:30 p.m sharp, so don't be late.
(Conference Room)
(Emergency Meeting, 2 p.m.)
No objections?
- Then that'll be all. - Yes, sir.
Sir.
I understand that the company is going through a rough patch.
I also understand that products with low sales...
will be discontinued.
But about forgoing...
either the wireless vacuum cleaner or the robot vacuum cleaner...
Does that make any sense?
Last year, the wireless vacuum cleaner was the third most popular product.
You know that.
This just doesn't add up.
So what if it came third place?
You've pushed back your development plan three times already.
Well...
The company deducted 30 percent from our budget. Okay?
Okay?
If we wait any longer,
the entire company will fall through.
That's just...
Sir, I'd appreciate it...
if you could exclude robot vacuum cleaners.
We've already invested so much money into developing this AI home appliance.
Let's be honest. It's our key product.
If we discontinue it, which team will save...
the Household Appliances Division next year?
If yours is the key product,
are you saying that ours is pretty much garbage?
Sir.
Hardware appliances are no longer in trend.
Then how high-tech is your product...
that you postpone the deadline every time?
What about yours?
Why do you keep delaying the development...
when the model has always been the same?
Did you see it?
How would you know if it's the same model or not?
It's pretty obvious.
- That's enough! - You didn't even see it!
I said, that's enough!
Look at you guys!
There's no point in arguing over this.
This is what the higher-ups want.
If you're unhappy, pack up and leave.
If you don't want to lag behind,
make the next demonstration. That'll be all.
Darn it.
(Product R and D Team 1)
Hello.
Have you contacted the Motor Team?
By when will they have the components ready?
They told us to come back next week.
Their test samples are much overdue.
So? Did you return just like that?
Were you being understanding since we have so much free time?
I'll look into it right away.
Mr. Han.
I had something to ask you.
It won't take long.
That's none of my business.
- Please leave. - Ms. Dang told me to do this.
Should I just tell her that you refused?
What are some difficulties you have?
Please tell me any difficulties...
you're facing in your team. I'll jot them down.
What's this for?
Are you trying to befriend me?
Not at all.
Just tell me any work-related difficulties.
I see. I know what this is.
This is Ja Young's signature program.
One difficulty a day, one report a day.
She assigns this task to all the newbies.
All right, then. I get what this is.
I'll make it quick since I can't stand seeing you.
Let's do that. Now, talk.
I have three difficulties.
- Number one. - Number one.
The fact that you're here.
The fact that I'm here.
Number two. The fact that you're breathing.
Number three. Everything...
about you.
You are the difficulty I'm facing. That'll be all.
Report on the discussion.
Mr. Han Se Gwon's difficulty...
is the existence of Mr. Choi Ban Seok.
It is assumed that this is due to the former's inferiority complex...
about the latter being far more competent and outstanding than the former...
in various ways.
The end.
This isn't a report.
You just scribbled this.
How could you say that?
That report took four hours.
Mr. Han was very uncooperative,
and I've only worked on Excel before.
I've never written a report before.
Even still, this report lacks the basics.
What do you mean, the basics?
The basics.
If he was that uncooperative,
you could've negotiated with him.
Or you should interview his colleagues to cross-check your findings.
You must have approached the subject from various angles to gain insight.
You only scribbled a few lines on this report.
Do you think this is acceptable?
I will delay interviewing Mr. Han Se Gwon for a while.
Start with Mr. Han Se Gwon again.
The shredder is in the pantry.
(Report on Employees' Difficulties)
Gosh. The class starts now.
Gosh. What's her angle?
- Hello. - Gosh. No need to get up for me.
Why are you eating ramyeon?
- And the energy drinks. - Right.
I guess things are rough these days.
You must have a lot of work.
- No. We're okay. - You are?
- Yes. - I see. That's great to hear.
Hey, keep eating.
By the way, what do you think...
Mr. Han's biggest challenge is these days?
I'm not sure. Do you know anything?
Do you guys not talk to him?
The second line over there.
- The second line. - Yes. It must be emphasized more.
Well, you can change the color or something.
Okay.
- Let's go to the next page. - Okay.
(Report on Employees' Difficulties)
Seeing how Mr. Han Se Gwon...
doesn't communicate with his juniors at all,
he is suspected to be a complete narcissist.
It seems he doesn't have any difficulties regarding his relationships at work.
Do it over.
(Report on Employees' Difficulties)
Gosh. What's this?
(Han Se Gwon, Daily, Friends, Travel)
(My ride to work these days)
(Bicycle, a man who rides a bicycle, alone)
Gosh.
I can't look at this anymore. This is disgusting.
Ms. Dang.
Here. I did a thorough research. Take a look now.
(Mr. Han Se Gwon's difficulties based on his social media)
What?
- You should read what's inside. - Social media?
I have a lot of good content inside.
(This message is to remind you that the lecture begins at 7:30 p.m...)
(as you were absent. From No Bug SW Education Center.)
Gosh. You startled me.
Look. This is annoying for me too.
Let's just talk about one thing.
Or you won't be able to pass.
Okay. Fine.
My gosh. Are you leaving now? Okay.
- Goodness. Let's go. - Hey. Stop it.
- Hey, this is expensive. Let go. - Just one question.
- Let go of me. - Hey, just one question.
- Let go of me. - Hey, this came off.
Hey, this came off.
You said this is expensive.
You need to take this!
How much is this?
Come on, Ms. Dang. Darn it.
Can we talk in private?
Me?
Yes.
I'm trying my best to finish my task.
Ms. Dang.
You met Mr. Han...
at headquarters and started dating each other.
Then, you guys got married.
And now, you guys are divorced. Right?
- So what? - I mean,
you are the best person who would know what he's struggling with.
I wonder why I wasted all my time and effort elsewhere.
I was totally off the mark.
You know? Since this is for HR,
please cooperate as the team leader of HR.
What does Mr. Han have a hard time with?
(Best home appliances for you, welcome to Hanmyeong Electronics!)
- Good work today. - Bye.
(Changin's Fuel Cell Electric Bus)
(1 year ago)
They are all foreign companies.
Yes. I listed the suitable companies...
based on the conditions you requested.
You can still negotiate your annual salaries.
I see.
But are there any companies in Korea I could apply to?
I have a young daughter.
Well, that would be a bit difficult.
The domestic LCD market got reduced drastically,
so there are a lot of developers, looking for jobs now.
And the companies are looking for developers...
who can handle hardware and software.
Developers who can handle both?
Yes.
(Hanmyeong Display)
("Will Hanmyeong Close Down Jinha Business Department?")
("How Long Will the Shock of Oversupply of LCD Panels Continue?")
What are you doing?
- Hey. - You went home early today.
Why are you still here?
You should've been home by now even if you walked home.
Did you break that?
Gosh. Why would I break it?
Young Soo, should I learn how to handle software...
and fix screens like this?
Sure.
Gosh. Look at my stocks. Goodness.
Did you say something?
Forget it.
You're going to lose your savings if you keep buying stocks.
You punk.
Where's Classroom One?
- Over there. - Okay.
All right. Why are we talking about architecture?
One of the biggest reasons behind its emergence is...
that the software systems have gotten big and complicated.
And what's the first thing should we do...
for our big and complicated software systems?
It's sorting out the structure.
That's the case in about everything.
The first thing we must do is getting the structure ready.
So the need to design the architecture of our software...
stems from the size and complexity of the software systems.
- Do you get it? - Yes.
Let's go to the next page.
We have an architect...
- What page are we on? - that will make the frame.
And we have a strategist who will develop it.
Then, we have a negotiator who will solve problems.
As you can see here,
this field is more than just having a lot of knowledge.
- Hey, Woo Jong. - Thank you.
The seat was always empty. I didn't know that was your seat.
Gosh.
After hearing that you got transferred to HR,
I thought you were transitioning.
Right?
What about you, Woo Jong? How's the Motor Team?
It's all right, I guess.
Why? Is Kang Min Goo bullying you?
Is that why you're studying at an academy? You're looking for a new job.
No, that's not it. He's nice to me.
Then why?
When I was a brand new rookie, you told me...
developers need to know the entire system...
no matter which part we work in if we want to get any better.
Goodness, man.
- Did I really? - You did.
You can't skip classes anymore.
We're going to begin design processing soon.
Okay.
Mr. Choi, I'll get going, then.
I'm this way.
- Why are you going that way? - I have to go back to the office.
I have some more work to do.
You're one tough kid.
Goodbye.
Keep it up, then.
Goodness, I should be the one who's tough like him.
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
Do you have any information?
This isn't the National Intelligence Service.
Why are you looking for information so early in the morning?
You know, something like the number of cliques in the research building,
the people who are on Mr. Go's good side,
rivals in the department,
and the biggest shots on each team, stuff like that.
Why?
Did you finally realize how important office politics are?
I'm trying to survive here.
Why do you think...
Ms. Dang or whatever is asking me to find one difficulty a day?
I guess she has millions of questions as the new team leader...
of Human Resources.
I just want to give her something and make a deal.
I can't live like this. I'm not cut out for this.
Hey, Min Goo. Kang Min Goo.
- Yes, that's your man. - Yes.
- He's the go-to man for cliques. - You're right.
- Kang Min Goo? - Min Goo.
I checked the design already.
And I increased the output of the power,
but the motor's RPM is way too low.
Why do you people always tell me the same story?
Whenever something doesn't work, you blame it on the motor.
I'm very sorry,
but could you test it once again and have it modified?
If I go back empty-handed again,
I'll seriously end up dead. Please?
Okay, you should go.
I really need you to do this in a hurry.
I get it.
Oh, all right.
Please make it happen.
I can't deal with this.
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
Hello.
- Hey, look who this is. - Hello.
It's you, Ms. Jung.
You're looking more beautiful by the day.
Mr. Oh must be good to you.
The suction is way too weak.
We either need it modified or we need to find another solution.
Goodness, you're all so pathetic.
If it doesn't work, you should just get a new job.
Why do you all try so hard?
Ms. Jung, it seems like you're in your prime now.
You should just get married before it's too late.
Mr. No said...
we won't pass the screening if the suction doesn't improve,
so he asks you to take a good look at it.
Well, I always keep an eye out...
for you, Ms. Jung.
I open my eyes very widely for you.
All right.
- Goodbye, then. - Bye.
Hello.
Forget it.
If I have to ask Min Goo, I'd rather not ask anybody.
You're right. That punk is just... Goodness. That man.
Min Goo is a talented man, but his character? Not so much.
The guy on his team is a good guy, though.
Mr. Yoo, I think.
Yes, you're right.
There's Woo Jong.
Yoo Woo Jong. Yes.
I guess he's in one heck of a hurry.
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
I need to see you for a moment.
When is your business trip to China?
Around the middle of next month.
I'm so jealous.
I only go back and forth between Changin and headquarters.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hey. - I'll go upstairs first.
- Take a seat. - All right.
I was wondering if you had any information.
Here, have this.
- This is for you. - Thank you.
- Let's see. Cliques? - Yes.
We've reached a peaceful period.
The Warring States period has ended, and now politics is centralized.
I see.
I knew I came to the right guy.
You're... Goodness. Okay, then.
Can you tell me everything?
Up until a few years ago,
- the fight between cliques was bloody. - Okay.
But now, the research building is under Mr. Go's rule,
and the office building is under Mr. Bae's rule.
And now they're in a battle...
to take the vacant chief directorship in this department.
(Hanmyeong Electronics Changin Business Department)
On Mr. Bae's side,
there's Senior Manager Oh Jae Il of Sales, Team Leader Son Hyung Ki of Finance.
And on Mr. Go's side,
his number two is Chief Pyeon, and Mr. Han is right below.
That punk.
The number two of the research building used to be Mr. Kang.
Really?
(Key Staff of Research Building Motor Team, Kang Min Goo)
- I'm back. - You're back.
Gosh, Mr. Choi is working so hard.
What? Why?
He's a total HR guy now.
I just saw him talking to Mr. Yoo of the Motor Team.
- He was so passionate. - Mr. So.
- Yes, Ms. Dang. - I need you for a second.
Why is his note...
completely empty?
With a performance history like this,
he'll need at least over a page of special notes. Was it left out?
Oh, Mr. Kang?
He's sort of uncontrollable,
so your predecessor gave up on him.
- He's uncontrollable? - No.
He has lots of enemies,
and he keeps doing things that can be used against him.
So that's why...
Mr. Pyeon got the best of him.
Something like that.
Hey, are you sure...
it's all right for you to tell me these secrets?
What if I go out there and state you as my source?
It's fine.
I'm thinking of leaving this place.
Really?
Is that final?
It hasn't been finalized yet.
Don't tell anyone, though.
I see.
Well, I guess you're far too good to be working for Min Goo.
Don't say that.
- Don't say what? - Look who it is.
Hey, Mr. Kang.
- Hey there, Woo Jong. - Yes, sir.
Let's get to work.
- I'll get going. - Bye.
- Ban Seok. - Yes?
I heard you became the senior manager of Human Resources.
Yes, feel free to tell me...
if you face any difficulties or problems at work.
I'm in charge of everyone's difficulties. You can have one.
Keep up the good work.
Bye.
Serves you right, you dimwit.
Hello, sir.
Did you check our salary proposal?
I did.
But what about the options I mentioned last time?
- Have you discussed the possibility? - We did, and it won't be a problem.
On top of that, we might run a reputation check.
A reputation check?
It's just a formality, so don't worry about it.
We'd love to have you right away.
Yes, thank you.
Baekho Electronics wants all of our key staff members.
Prevent them from quitting until the sellout goes public.
Kang Min Goo of the Motor Team.
All right.
I'm going to a meeting.
See you.
Yes, hello.
Hello.
Ms. Jung.
- Hello. - Hey, there.
Okay.
This is such a perfect report.
(1: Cliques in Changin Business Department)
Where is she going?
Ms. Dang.
Ms. Dang, one second.
Ms. Dang. Hey, Ms. Dang!
(Household Appliances Division, Office Building)
I'd like to have a word with you.
I need to speak with the team leader of the Motor Team.
Gosh! What's wrong with you?
Have you gone crazy?
- Let me go! - I told you to stop it.
I said I won't sit still.
What's going on?
Let me go!
(Household Appliances Division)
What a lunatic.
He sure is.
How should we go about this?
We might run a reputation check.
What if they hear about this?
How are you feeling?
We've already looked at the CCTV.
The evidence is quite solid.
What will you do?
Well...
I'm glad.
Did you see how she treated me?
I won't sit still.
What do you mean?
How dare she twist her superior's arm like that?
What has this company become?
This is abuse.
I am truly mortified when I think about how...
I was humiliated in front of everyone.
Judging by the CCTV,
it was sexual harassment on your part.
What? Sexual harassment?
Do you think all physical touches fall in that category?
Look.
Does this look like sexual harassment to you? Does it?
If tapping and encouraging a fellow worker is considered an act of sexual harassment,
every single male worker here should be sued for it! Okay?
Are you siding with her since she's a woman?
Anyway, I want her to come here right now and kneel in front of me.
I refuse to resume work until then. I won't do it!
Gosh, my wrist hurts.
- Sir. - Yes?
I...
To be honest, I had been bottling it up because of you.
Please don't tell me to hold myself back anymore.
Don't. Don't hold back.
You shouldn't hold back. That's exactly why...
people don't take sexual harassment at work seriously.
He has until tomorrow...
to give me a heartfelt apology.
If he doesn't, I'm going to demand one by posting about this on our intranet.
If that doesn't work,
I'm going to file a national petition.
Good thinking.
You should do that. Good luck.
Did you see that?
That's how fierce she is.
She could've become a union leader.
Kang Min Goo, that scumbag, is unbelievable.
Why did he have to cause trouble now?
Hey, what kind of comment is that?
Causing trouble should never be okay.
My project could flop at any given moment.
Our test experiments are always failing.
I've been begging him to fix our motors.
Then ask someone else.
- Is there no one else? - No.
- Gosh. - What? You have no idea.
Manpower in the motor division is dire.
The headhunters keep taking them away.
Whatever.
That's something the business department needs to worry about.
If she wants an apology, she should get it.
Also, don't say anything you'll regret.
Fine.
- Hello. - Hello.
Why are we still waiting for the motors to get fixed?
Also,
how could you leave just because he told you to?
Do you think we have all the time in the world?
Well...
I couldn't bring it up because they didn't seem...
to be doing too well.
What's wrong? Did Mr. Kang die or something?
No, but he got hit...
by Ms. Jung from Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team...
after hitting on her.
He's unbelievable.
Did he hurt his wrist or something?
No. He's unscathed.
But he's upset.
Don't you think it'd be better for you to talk to him?
Do I look okay?
You're not a newbie.
How could you be so incompetent and ask me to do this?
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
We're on a time crunch.
Darn it.
Once I'm done with this project, I'm going to move teams.
Darn it.
Look at that.
He thinks he can always walk all over us.
You shouldn't be like him...
once you become a team leader.
Mr. An, make me some coffee.
- Hello. - Hey.
Where's Mr. Kang?
He's still in the medical office.
Is he working or not?
Where does he get such audacity from?
I'll be off then.
Goodbye.
Hey, babe.
About that keychain on your handbag...
Where did you get it from again?
(Medical Office)
Something smells fishy.
(Kang Min Goo)
(Checklist for Changing Jobs)
(How to Negotiate a Higher Salary When Switching Jobs)
No wonder.
He doesn't want to apologize since he'll be resigning soon.
But he doesn't want his new workplace to know about this either.
What about Mr. Kang?
He refuses to apologize?
Why?
It's one of these two.
He's just mad that he got caught.
Or he's feigning innocence so that his new workplace...
won't find out about it.
And...
it's highly likely that it's the latter.
Then that's great.
We don't need to worry about him since he'll be leaving soon.
Let's follow protocol.
It looks like Ms. Jung won't let this slide at all.
You cannot take such a one-dimensional approach.
Why is that a one-dimensional approach?
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
Fine. As another woman, I find...
what happened to Ms. Jung very unfortunate.
But what if when we try to call for a disciplinary committee,
Mr. Kang decides to resign and leaves? What will you do then?
Mr. Kang is a key member of the Motor Team.
It's hard to find someone as talented as him with that annual salary.
Gosh. Then, we can put more effort into helping grow his juniors.
The company doesn't seem to value young, talented employees.
But it's always looking out for people like Mr. Kang.
That's why they all want to leave.
What is it?
Is someone else from the Motor Team trying to leave?
I'm thinking of leaving this place.
Don't tell anyone, though.
I was trying to make a point.
I never said they were leaving.
Anyway, we have to make Mr. Kang stay.
Then, what about Ms. Jung?
Is it okay if we lose her? Are you fine with that?
We can make both of them stay.
Mark my words. I'll make that happen.
Why would I mark her words?
She can just follow protocol. Why all the fuss?
Goodness.
You still eat so fast.
Let me.
This is nice.
Hey, admire the view too.
Look how fresh they are.
The oysters from Central Bay were the best.
Right.
Aren't you attending CES next year?
I know a great place in Las Vegas.
I'll treat you.
I only shared a small piece of information from HR.
That's a huge reward.
Exactly.
Why are you stealing all of our company's talented employees?
Talented employees are bound to go around.
If a nice spot opens up in Maseong Business Department, call me.
I'm not sure, but will do. Okay.
Great.
By the way,
when did you two start dating?
Before the divorce?
Or after?
That's a private matter.
My gosh.
(Team Leader of Sanghwa Electro, Section Chief of QK...)
Darn it. Why isn't Mr. Jung calling me?
Did they already hear about the incident?
Hello.
- Hello. - Thank you for your hard work.
Mr. Kang.
Can we have a word?
Mr. Kang, why don't you go...
and work at our branch in China next year?
I'm sure you know...
you can get a promotion to become a deputy director.
Well,
you treated me like a sexual offender yesterday.
Why the generosity?
Motors are the heart of home appliances.
We need a strong heart...
for the business department to do well.
If you make your decision, I can proceed accordingly.
I'm a mere employee here, but I am grateful...
for the offer.
So I don't have to do anything for it?
Of course, nothing is free.
Why don't you apologize to Ms. Jung and settle this?
I'm sure you know...
evaluations are very important to become a director-level executive.
If you try to drag this out,
it won't do you any good.
Let's shake it off and think about the big picture.
That's your style, isn't it? Let's handle it like a pro.
Ms. Dang.
Do you think I'm that dumb?
Make an offer better than a transfer to a branch in China.
See if I'll budge.
Ms. Jung...
better apologize by the end of today.
Or I won't let this slide.
Either I go, or she goes.
You'll have to pick one. Okay?
Why is he yelling at me? Darn it.
What does she take me for?
I'm glad I ran into you.
Hey, you. Why aren't you apologizing to me?
- Why would I? - Why?
Don't you remember what you did to me?
I don't remember what I did to you.
But I clearly remember what you did to me.
- Hey. - What?
- Did you just yell at me? - What, sir?
I've been going easy on you because you're a woman.
You must've forgotten the ranks here.
Yes. I don't care about the ranks now.
So when I see a crazy guy, I'm going to ignore him.
"A crazy guy?"
Have you gone mad?
I'm going to break that nasty habit of yours.
- Hey, stop there. - Mr. Kang.
What are you doing? Go inside.
What? What did I do?
- Hey. - What are you doing?
What?
I'm going to officially lodge a complaint about this matter.
Hey, who do you think is going to lose this battle, then?
What?
Everyone will find out what you did to her.
Are you okay if everyone in the field finds out you sexually harassed her?
If that's your wish, I'll file the report myself.
What do you say?
Don't be dirty, and just apologize to her.
If you don't apologize by the end of today,
I'll convince Ms. Jung and call for the disciplinary committee.
Gosh.
Think carefully before you decide.
What?
(Mr. Jung of AA Electronics)
Kang Min Goo speaking.
Really?
I got it.
Okay.
A disciplinary committee?
In your dreams.
I've been doing my best...
to get Mr. Kang to stay with all kinds of offers.
You know nothing about HR.
How could you threaten him that you'll call the disciplinary committee?
Fine.
I'm sorry for making a fool out of myself...
when I know nothing about HR.
But do we have to...
beg him to apologize?
- Is this what HR is? - Yes.
If need be, we must beg him. That's what we do in HR.
Mr. Choi!
Well,
I was sensitive.
Well...
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
If you can set up a meeting with Ms. Jung,
I will make a sincere, heartfelt apology to her.
And I'll try to comfort her too.
Okay.
You made the right decision.
But can I ask what made you change your mind all of a sudden?
Well,
we'll have to keep working together.
I don't want to work in a negative mood.
Since I'm older,
I should extend an olive branch.
Yes.
I'll talk to Ms. Jung about how you feel.
Okay. I'll get going.
Wait.
What about the offer I made to you earlier?
Should I request for a transfer to the branch in China?
Yes. Sure.
(Human Resources)
Something is off.
Well, didn't everything work out well?
That brings me to my next point.
Well, it's about work.
Here it is.
What's that?
This is...
some useful information you would drool over.
This is the ultimate report on the hierarchy,
old cliques, and recently-formed cliques in Changin Business Department.
- Hand it over. - Don't be an amateur. Goodness.
Under one condition.
I don't think I can make a report every single day on their difficulties.
I need time for my self-improvement too.
So let's go with one difficulty in five days.
Is the information trustworthy? Who's your source?
A close associate of someone who was recently ousted from the core fight.
If you don't want it, it'll just become scrap paper.
So? One difficulty report every five days?
One report every three days. That's my final offer.
Then every four days.
- Three. - Three and a half days.
- Three days. - Man, you're so uptight.
The new deal begins tomorrow, okay?
What a relief.
The suction force needs to get up to 500 watts.
Then Hew Jet motor isn't any good for this.
Exactly.
So Mr. Kang, can you switch it out with something else?
All right, then.
Mr. Kang, you're my only hope.
I get it. Just go. Go.
Cut it out. Just go.
Go home. My gosh.
Goodness, that guy.
Woo Jong, put this away.
Why? What's up?
Mr. Kang, if you're going to leave,
you should leave a good final impression.
You can be so cute.
Stop nagging at me.
Don't worry about me.
I'm a big shot, and I got this.
- Goodness, hello. - Yes, hello.
Wait, Mr. Kang.
I heard the good news.
Sorry?
Yesterday, I met with Mr. Jung...
of AA Electronics.
Mr. Kang, it looks like you and I have something to talk about.
Shall we?

(Go Jeong Sik, Bae Jung Tak)
(General Director Go Jeong Sik and his team)
(Team Leader Han Se Gwon: President Han Seung Ki's third cousin)
Thank you for everything, Ms. Dang.
But I'm going to quit.
You should give it one more thought.
No, I don't have to.
Every single idea or proposal I make...
oddly gets dropped no matter which team I'm in.
And I have no more energy to transfer to another team.
You must have had a tough time.
Why does everyone hate me so much?
Is it because I'm too distinguished?
Or is it because I'm a part of the royal family as a Han?
What could it be?
Yes, I wonder.
(Special Notes)
(The president hasn't said anything, but the executives requested...)
(the president's third cousin doesn't quit due to adjustment issues.)
Why are people like that?
I mean, I like you just fine, Mr. Han.
Me?
Why? What's the reason?
Because it'd be our loss to lose a talent like you at this point.
- Really? - Of course.
And I've been with Human Resources for 14 years.
This means I have a sharp judgment of characters.
Ms. Dang, it looks like...
you have a sharp eye for people unlike others.
Right, isn't it about time you write up another proposal?
Yes.
Do you want me to give you a hand?
Really?
I may not be a developer,
but I've written my shares of proposals.
I think I could be of help.
Goodness, Ms. Dang.
Once you overcome this crisis,
I'm sure you'll receive due credit as a key staff member by headquarters.
You can do this. I'll give you a hand.
What do you say?
Here. Let's work this out.
My gosh. It's all because of this hand.
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
(Letter of Resignation: Kang Min Goo)
(Letter of Resignation: Yoo Woo Jong)
(Personal reasons)
I knew it.
When people suddenly change,
they all change for a reason.
This man.
He put on a show yesterday to sucker-punch us.
Mr. Kang, is this how you'll be?
Ms. Dang, I'll go talk to him and see what's going on.
- You will? Wait. - Yes.
See you.
I think Mr. Choi went to ask Mr. Yoo.
Mr. Yoo?
You mean Mr. Yoo Woo Jong, who just turned in his resignation?
Yes.
They seemed very close last time.
If they're close, why didn't he know that he was about to leave?
He probably didn't tell him because they're close.
(Cliques of Changin Business Department)
The company doesn't seem to value young, talented employees.
But it's always looking out for people like Mr. Kang.
That's why they all want to leave.
What is it?
Is someone else from the Motor Team trying to leave?
I was trying to make a point.
I never said they were leaving.
Yes, Mr. Go.
Yes, I understand. Yes, sir.
Mr. Kang, you can't do this.
Give it back.
No, I made a modification yesterday.
Goodness, punk.
You promised him you'll fix it. You can't do this.
You can't rig the motor!
You know how sensitive the Robot Vacuum Cleaner Team...
and the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team are because of the next test.
Don't worry. I'll take responsibility.
Woo Jong, go on and pack up.
You know this won't work on the sample for the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team.
Why are you doing this?
What did you and Mr. Han talk about yesterday?
Did he blackmail you?
- Min Goo! - You little punk.
My gosh!
What are you two talking about?
Tell me.
Mr. Kang.
You said you'll apologize. What's with the resignation?
How can you stab our backs like this?
Mr. Choi, it's not like that.
Woo Jong, what were you just saying?
What's this about Mr. Han blackmailing him and the motor?
Say something.
Are you saying he rigged the motor...
to make the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team get dropped out or what?
Why aren't you saying anything?
(Special appearance by Choi Duk Moon)
(On the Verge of Insanity)
Do you have nothing to say to me?
What are you talking about?
You know what Mr. Kang did.
What's your problem? Are you crazy?
That's enough.
What if you're wrong?
Are you capable of taking responsibility for this?
Do you have to make me out to be a fool?
You're the one who looked down on me first.
I found out a secret about you.
Don't you know who's to blame?
You must know something to make such a threat.
Do you think I'd do something so low as that?
Tell me right now.
I looked into it and found something interesting.
Mr. Choi has been offered a great deal for changing jobs.
We should keep him.
Just tell him to leave.
You shouldn't be like this.
Must I open up to you about private matters?
How is switching jobs a private matter?
