Mr. Do Min Ik?
Who are you?
Nice to meet you. I'm Veronica Park.
You are Veronica Park?
Awesome.
So our first encounter takes place in a place like this.
What do you mean by, "first"?
So you're saying...
you're Veronica Park...
and this is our first time meeting each other?
Who are you?
Who are you to impersonate Veronica Park?
Impersonate?
Hey!
I'm the only daughter of the great Park Group,
and the president of Cinepark, Vero...
You stay here.
Stay?
Hey!
You brat!
- Mister! - I'm sorry!
I think my hair is stuck in there!
Yes, Boss.
There's something I need to report to you.
Hey, are you crazy?
You saw him?
Yes, he shaved his beard and had a different hairstyle.
But it was definitely him.
Okay.
9:10pm at the Sangmo Hospital Intersection.
Call the control center and ask them for the CCTV footage.
Oh, right.
That woman.
- Director Do. - What?
It's me, Secretary Jeong.
Where were you?
Let's talk about that later.
Did you happen to see a really loud woman who was standing here?
- Who? - I met this woman earlier,
and do you know what she said to me?
Nice to meet you. I'm Veronica Park.
I know we're living in a world that's full of scams,
but how could she be so brazen?
She apparently met me for the first time.
We met so many times,
and we even kissed...
Anyway,
she was wearing a weird hat that looked like a curtain.
So look for her inside. I'll look for her outside.
No, wait.
She's probably gone.
She got caught by you,
so there's no way she'd still be here.
Then I should at least tell her.
Tell whom?
Who do you think? The real Veronica Park.
Director Do, I really don't think that's necessary...
Director Do, I need to go to the bathroom.
The double life of Veronica.
(Episode 10: The Double Life of Veronica)
My outfit is totally ruined.
Who are you?
Who are you to impersonate Veronica Park?
I guess someone's going around impersonating me.
How dare that person make me, the real Veronica Park,
look like a fake?
Wait until I catch that person.
I will rip that person apart and grind her into little pieces...
and make baby food out of her.
Veronica Park, speaking.
Awesome.
Are you saying someone's impersonating me?
Wait until I catch that person.
I will rip that person apart and grind her into little pieces...
and make baby food out of her.
Awesome.
(Boss)
Hello? Hello?
President Park? President...
Maybe I shouldn't have called her to tell her about this.
Why isn't Secretary Jeong coming back?
What kind of an interesting storyline is this?
The person who was brazen enough to impersonate me...
was you? Jeong Gal Hee?
I'm sorry, President Park.
I really...
don't know what to say.
I'm sorry.
I get how you could've faked your voice to sound like me...
since you had to deal with the guys I dated...
for many years while you worked for me.
But what about my face?
My photos are everywhere on the web if you search my name.
So what kind of magic spell did you use...
to make him think that I have that face?
Well, the thing is...
Well, let me explain.
Secretary Jeong.
Are you inside?
Secretary... Secretary Jeong.
If you can't give me an answer,
I'll just have to ask him myself.
President... President Park.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry for asking you this when we just met but...
Did you say we just met?
Director Do.
What took you so long?
I couldn't find my mom because you were gone.
Over there.
She's 10m away, and she's walking this way.
She's wearing a black suit and holding a blue bag.
Okay.
Mom.
What took you so long?
I'm sorry. I suddenly ran into someone.
I pretty much get the gist of it now.
Does your boss have a problem...
seeing people's faces?
It was a joke at first.
Nice to meet you. I'm Veronica Park.
I was just a minion at work.
But once I changed my identity...
to the heiress of Park Group,
I got treated very differently.
But once out of curiosity...
and twice by accident...
As I kept going on dating with Director Do,
I ended up falling for him.
And as I constantly saw...
how much he liked me while he mistook me for you,
it made me want to keep seeing him like that...
even though I knew it was wrong.
The puzzles are finally coming together.
So I guess that's why...
Chief Director Sim thinks Director Do likes me.
And that's probably why she said that...
to my mother.
I've also exaggerated and scammed people...
to promote the movies I screen in my movie theaters.
But this is on a totally different level.
I'm almost starting to respect you.
I'm sorry, President Park.
I'm so sorry...
that I even feel bad about apologizing.
I'll tell Director Do everything tomorrow...
and gladly get punished for what I did.
You can get punished...
tomorrow.
You know...
that I make the best use...
of people's weaknesses to my greatest advantage, right?
I'll think about it all night...
and come up with just the right punishment for you.
So meet me at my office tomorrow morning.
Right now,
there's something very urgent I need to take care of.
I guess your daughter didn't come.
She would never come to a place like this.
Chief Director Sim.
Oh, hello. Just a second.
Director Kim.
Thank you so much for dating my daughter.
I guess your daughter hasn't told you anything yet.
Our relationship is a little...
What's wrong?
Is she seeing someone else again?
Did you know?
That darn brat.
I will sew that brat's eyelids...
and make sure she never sees another guy again.
Please don't do that.
I'm having a hard time,
but I'm trying my best to get over her.
Does that mean...
you still like her?
I liked her a lot.
My goodness, my son-in-law.
Ma'am, wait.
According to many years of my experience with her,
whenever she falls head over heels for a guy, it only lasts a week.
And when she says her love will last a lifetime, it only lasts a month.
I will do whatever it takes to make that brat...
walk down the aisle with you.
So please do not give up on that brat.
Chairwoman Park...
Gosh, what's going on?
About the exclusive run of Cinepark.
I'll tell my daughter to sign the contract by this week.
Are you serious?
She's finally making Min Ik the president.
Isn't that right, Min Ik?
Thank you for working until late night as always.
I'm going home in my mom's car. You should go home too.
(Secretary Jeong)
I can't do anything without you.
I'm sorry about that.
And...
thanks for always being there...
(Thanks for always being there for me.)
(Secretary Jeong)
Well... Secretary Jeong. What's wrong?
Because I'm so sorry.
I feel really bad.
Gosh, I feel so sorry too.
I'm really sorry.
I didn't know Gal Hee was such a great actress.
She even weeps crocodile tears...
to make her boss the president.
I'd like to ask something to the living witness of TnT Mobile,
Ms. Lee, who worked for everyone from Chairman Do Wan Bae...
to Director Gi Dae Ju.
Who do you think will be the next president?
I told you not to gossip.
If you're done, just leave.
Okay.
I'm so sorry, Mother.
(Funeral Hall)
Hey, Dae Ju.
Did you not see me sitting right here?
I've been sitting here the whole time, but you never talked to me.
How could you be so remote?
And how could you be so dull?
Director Park's mother is a complete stranger to me.
Why do you think I stayed here until three in the morning?
Are you saying...
you've been sitting here...
just to see my face?
Unfortunately, you were sitting back to back with me,
so technically, I got to see you just now.
You're really strange.
If you wanted to see me that bad,
you could've hung out with me at least once.
I guess you're still not interested in a serious relationship with me.
All right, then.
Dae Ju.
Dae Ju?
Dae Ju.
Are you upset?
Do you think I just like having flings with guys?
What kind of people do you think approach me?
They just want to start a business with my money...
and build personal connections using my name.
Actually, you're one of them too.
They're happy when I spend money or arrange a meeting.
And once they're done sponging off of me,
I lose contact with them.
Do you know what I realized after it happened to me like 12 times?
I have no chance of being in love.
I should just have some fun with any guy I find interesting.
It'd hurt less...
if I don't let anyone break my heart.
If you can't trust me, you don't have to.
But you should love someone.
It doesn't have to be me though.
I lived with no money before, but I could manage to live somehow.
And I've lived without parents.
It was hard, but I could handle it anyway.
But without love...
No one can live without love.
Dae Ju.
Then why don't we try this?
It's not a fling nor a serious relationship.
We can try something between those two and go date for a month.
I need some time to find out if I can trust you.
Can we give it a try?
I see.
That's not going to work for you, Mr. Chastity.
Does this mean you're in?
To be honest,
I'm not sure about this.
I only offer all of my heart or none of it.
I've never done something between those two.
But...
I'll give it a try.
If that's the only way to be with you.
Mom, I don't know what you're doing here this time,
but you should at least give me some time to get my guard up.
Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile and get married?
Hopes for world peace is all over the world these days.
But you still believe violence is the only definite solution.
I'm so sick of it now.
Premature menopause and late childbearing is an issue these days.
But you still flirt with...
any guy you see.
That just makes my hands and feet tremble with rage.
How could you tell a guy who's just like Gandhi...
that you have feelings for someone else?
I swear it wasn't me who said that.
All right. Then I guess...
someone else told him that impersonating you.
Jeong Gal Hee, that darn wench.
Once you get to the office,
take a day off...
on the 20th next month.
Is that...
the day...
of my funeral?
It's your wedding day.
The fortune teller in Cheongdam-dong says it's an auspicious day.
I'll print wedding invitations with that date today.
You can't!
It's less than a month away.
There's something I need to do in a month.
Ms. Park Seok Ja!
You can make me...
stand at the wedding.
However,
I'm Veronica Park.
Filming a movie...
where I hold another man's hand and run away from the wedding...
is not a big deal for me. You know that, right?
Are you threatening me?
I'm making a deal.
Maybe I should hire a baby too.
Goodness.
What do you want?
One month.
In 1999,
when I lost you at Seoul Station...
I shouldn't have looked for you.
Then...
I want you to sign the contract with TnT Mobile and send it.
I already signed it.
Don't be nervous, Gal Hee.
It was going to happen anyway.
No matter what task she gives me, just take on it.
You're here.
Let's go.
To where?
This.
Ma'am.
Could you please explain what we're doing?
Do you know what offended me the most?
Jeong Gal Hee, your pronunciation...
is awful.
"Awesome" doesn't have "th" in it.
And speak more gracefully.
Listen and repeat.
Awesome.
Now, I'm going to give you a severe punishment. So listen.
From now on,
you're going to be the real Veronica.
The housekeeper said she found this in your pants.
It's not Veronica Park's. Who is she?
How did you know?
They are not diamonds, but rhinestones. Plus, it's gold-plated.
And this design...
It's a Cartier replica.
A replica?
Yes, it's fake.
It's what people who can't buy the original ones buy.
It's what people who can't be the original do.
Give it to me.
It's Secretary Jeong's. I need to give it back to her.
Why was her earring in your pants?
I told you to fire her.
Fire her, if you don't want to be betrayed by your secretary again.
Why did I bring this?
The person you have reached is not available.
Why is the driver not answering?
Did your driver not come?
Get in.
Are you well these days?
I mean, have you seen a doctor recently due to sickness...
I thought it wouldn't be a free ride,
and I was right. This is an expensive taxi.
Did you change your driver?
- I fired my former driver. - Again?
He kept spying on me through the rear-view mirror.
You need to look at the rear-view mirror when you drive.
That's absurd.
Absurd?
Why do you think your driver didn't come today?
I don't know.
He either made trouble and ran away,
or stole information and ran away.
Drivers and secretaries.
They're always the ones that cause trouble.
What do you mean by me being the real Veronica?
I'm supposed to see a man for a month.
But my family should think...
that I'm seeing your boss.
Then...
You will be dating Director Do Min Ik for one month.
Not as Jeong Gal Hee, but as Veronica Park.
I can't do that.
Did you forget that you said you would accept any punishment?
But...
I can't lie to him again.
Yesterday,
he kept saying sorry to me...
although I'm the one who should be sorry.
I like him, but I have to lie to him.
He trusts me, but I betrayed him.
I can't do it anymore.
I would rather...
just tell him the truth and end this whole thing.
I will accept...
any other punishment but this. I don't care if it's much harder.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Your love is not the only thing that matters.
You know...
what men did to me...
and how they left me.
Still...
If you can't do this, there is only one other way.
On the 20th next month,
I will have to hold your boss' hand...
and walk down the wedding aisle.
It's just for one month.
If you're going to tell him the truth anyway,
it doesn't have to be now.
If the relationship between me and this guy gets serious in a month,
I will end this thing with Director Do.
So, Gal Hee,
help me.
Please.
It is indeed a replica of one of our products.
But why...
I'd like to buy the original one.
I wonder if they're twins.
They're wearing the exactly same dress.
How am I going to lie to Director Do again?
- I'm sorry, Director Do. - What?
I mean... Hello, Director Do.
What did you do wrong to apologize like that?
Is it because the driver didn't show up today?
He didn't show up?
He never told me that he's going to skip work today.
Did you ask about the USB file?
What did Director Gi say?
He told me that he doesn't know what it is.
What? It came from his office.
How could he not know?
Don't get him involved in this anymore.
I'd rather doubt that the earth is round...
than to doubt Dae Ju.
I should hurry up and get my laptop fixed.
Hey.
What's your plan for tonight?
I need to help my brother get discharged from the hospital.
That's great. Let me go with you.
I need to go to your house anyway.
My house? Why?
We need to take your brother home once he gets discharged, right?
Well, yes.
What's this?
Can't you read?
It's a contract...
regarding TnT Mobile's exclusive rights to Cinepark's contents.
I already signed it,
so take a look at it, and have it signed by TnT Mobile.
Are you doing this because we agreed to see each other?
I had already signed it...
as soon as I read your proposal.
I'm only giving it to you now...
because I wanted to use it to make you feel desperate.
Thank you.
But shouldn't you be sending this directly to my company?
Mr. Chastity.
I know I should be sending it directly to your company.
But that is exactly why I'm giving it to you.
You can tell everyone...
that you won the exclusive rights to Cinepark's contents...
and take full credit for it.
I'll make sure you don't regret this.
I'd also like to make an offer...
that you will surely never regret.
In Paju,
there's a place that goes completely dark at 5pm...
with absolutely no one living nearby.
and so secluded that no one would know if anyone got murdered there.
It's an incredibly romantic villa.
And I happen to be...
the owner of that villa.
I'm planning on...
staying there tonight.
And I was wondering...
if you'd like to join.
You can go first.
I have an appointment, so I'll join as soon as I'm done.
Oh, yes!
I should ask someone to have the firewood ready...
so I could...
fire you up, Mr. Chastity.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Do Min Ik.
Nice to meet you. I'm Jeong Jung Hee.
I'll carry that.
There's something else you need to carry.
Pardon?
Put your arm out like this.
- My arm? - Yes.
- Sit down. - Okay.
- That's good. - What?
- Jung Hee! - My gosh.
My gosh, you have an amazing back.
It's good enough to do manual labor.
It's a waste that you have to work in an office.
I'm sorry, Director Do.
What is going on?
I'm sorry.
Taxi drivers don't like coming this far.
It's Mr. Eun.
He must not be feeling very well.
He wants to know if he could take a few days off.
- Tell him that it's fine. - Okay.
Jung Hee, we're almost here.
Put me down.
Thank you.
I knew it.
I'm sorry.
You can go home now.
Can I use your bathroom?
My legs hurt so much.
Was it here?
Okay, great.
So you came late...
because you had to put new earrings at Secretary Jeong's place?
Yes.
Why?
What do you mean why?
Secretary Jeong doesn't always need to wear fake earrings.
That's exactly my point.
Why do even care whether Secretary Jeong's earrings...
are real or fake?
- That's because... - Because what?
Because I...
Because you what? Because you like her?
What are you talking about? I don't like her.
I told you already. I like someone else.
You've been acting weird ever since the stockholders' meeting.
You keep saying you like that other woman,
but you're always looking at Secretary Jeong,
and you're always right next to her.
Hey, that's because...
That's because...
There's actually...
something I don't quite get.
What is it?
My blood pressure only goes up...
when I'm with Secretary Jeong.
Your blood pressure?
It never went up when I was with that woman I like.
But when I'm with Secretary Jeong,
my heart starts throbbing,
and it starts beating really quickly.
Whatever the reason is, what's there to hesitate?
Secretary Jeong also likes you...
She likes you because you're a great boss.
And if you like her as well,
just forget about that other woman and start dating Secretary Jeong.
I can't forget about that woman.
What?
She's someone that's very hard to forget.
If you ever get to meet her,
you'll understand what I mean.
Really?
Who is she?
Veronica Park.
What did you just say?
Are you saying the woman you like...
is Veronica Park, the president of Cinepark?
Do you know her?
Why are you telling me that now?
I thought we'd stop meeting each other after a couple dates.
There's nothing serious...
going on between you guys, right?
It was just a one-sided thing on your end, right?
We even kissed.
I'm sorry. I don't think I'll be able to make it today.
There's something I need to take care of.
But you said you'll come. Why are you suddenly canceling?
Dae Ju?
Hello?
Mr. Chastity?
Hey!
If you don't want to give up on her,
what about Secretary Jeong? Did you toy with her?
Who toyed with her?
Do you know how I felt when she didn't want to renew the contract?
When I was seven,
my mom abandoned me here. It felt just like that.
So what are you trying to do?
I don't know, Dae Ju.
You might not believe it,
but I'm serious.
What I felt around Veronica Park is real.
And it's true...
that my heart flutters...
whenever I see Secretary Jeong.
Listen up, Min Ik.
I wish I could tell you...
whom to give up.
But it's your choice.
I won't tell you what to do.
But you must give up one of them.
I'll see you at There, same time tomorrow.
Make up your mind until then.
Only then will I be able to find my answer.
Go down. Go down.
It shall go down as if there's oil in it.
So don't give up and keep running until you can be the president.
I'll help you.
Goodnight
My baby
My cute baby
Hello, Director Do.
But you must give up one of them.
I'll see you at There, same time tomorrow.
Make up your mind until then.
Why are you staring at me like that?
What are you doing?
You got me the pebbles, but I didn't clean the tank yet.
I had to do something like this to feel a little better.
Don't do it. Just call in some service vendor.
Why? This is your favorite fish.
Just...
Why...
Why are you doing something that I didn't even ask for?
The other day,
you said a secretary should do things even before you ask for.
Forget all about what I said before.
If you don't have anything to do, just go get some coffee.
You should take your laptop to repair. You could've gone there.
I did it this morning.
Give me that. I'll finish wiping it.
What's wrong with you?
Director Do, I think it's being weird.
Gal Hee, where are you going?
Ms. Lee, the fish is sick.
Secretary Jeong, hurry!
I'm sorry. I should get going.
Jeong Gal Hee, you're finally...
unlatching the door.
Please save it, sir.
Director Do treasures it as much as his life.
It's about to pass away.
Rest in peace.
Pass away?
A fish that's worth 100,000 dollars is dying this easily?
Who says the fish is worth 100,000 dollars?
This is a platinum arowana.
I think it's the most expensive arowana.
This isn't a platinum arowana.
- This is a golden arowana. - What?
Well...
That can't be right.
You can buy this golden arowana for about 10,000 dollars.
I'm sorry, Director Do.
I should've taken better care of it.
Why do you keep saying sorry these days?
You heard it died because it's about time.
But what do you think this is all about?
You think Chairman Do treasured the fish without knowing what it is?
- How did you know that? - What?
I don't think I told you about my father before.
Eul Wang Lee... I mean...
Ms. Lee Eul Wang.
I heard her talk about it before.
She used to work for Chairman Do.
Go home.
And call in someone to get rid of the tank tomorrow.
Okay.
The motherboard was broken, so we replaced it.
What about the data?
Check the files. I think they all are still in there.
Okay. Thank you.
- Thank you so much. - Sure.
Director Do.
Why are you back?
Ta-da.
What are these?
They are moss balls.
- What? - Moss balls.
If we get rid of the tank,
you'll feel more empty inside.
But then again, the empty tank will remind you of the fish.
I heard they live for more than a hundred years.
Is it some kind of moss?
Yes.
They are on the bottom now,
but they float above water when they feel good.
- How can moss have feelings? - I'm serious.
I hope they will float soon.
It was Arom.
What?
The fish's name.
"Since it's an arowana, let's call it Arom."
My father said that and smiled.
Then let's call them Arom.
Arom number 1, number 2, and number 3.
You should go home now.
I want to see if they will float before I go home.
It's okay. I also want...
to wait and see if they will float.
You miss President Park, right?
What?
Whenever you missed her,
you wanted to see me.
That's not true.
I just want to be with you.
Excuse me?
Well, I mean...
That's not necessarily the reason, I think.
Sometimes,
I just want...
to be with you, I think. Maybe I'm wrong.
Well...
Well, then.
You can stay.
I like...
being with you.
Even if I have to stay up the whole night.
What?
I mean...
You can't see people's faces,
so that's why I stay with you.
But that is...
probably not the only reason why.
Well, it would be nice...
to have company when I see them float.
They're floating.
What?
They're really floating.
I told you they will float.
Aren't they pretty?
They are.
Why number two? Are you not feeling good?
It's moving.
I think it will float soon.
It's floating.
Look.
It's floating.
- It's floating. - It's floating.
So this is...
your eyebrow.
This is...
your eye.
This is...
your lips.
Wait.
- Well... - I...
I will see you tomorrow.
Hi, Dae Ju.
Okay. I'll be right there.
(Humans is unfair, but the deities are just.)
(Are you sure you want to permanently delete this folder?)
The work is done, Boss.
The file is gone,
but Director Do is suspicious of me.
I think I should disappear from the company now.
I will never forget...
your kindness.
I'm so tired.
You...
(Boat There)
Did you find out...
who you like?
Good.
Who is she?
Before that...
I want you to punch me once, Dae Ju.
Why?
Is the person you like...
Veronica Park?
Then is it Secretary Jeong?
Who's the one you love?
(This drama was filmed with the support of fish pathology experts.)
(The Secret Life of My Secretary)
Secretary Jeong, don't approach me within one-meter radius.
- Do you think it was a mistake... - It wasn't a mistake.
President Park. My family is planning our wedding.
So we are dating now.
I must be out of my mind. I'm thinking about Secretary Jeong.
Could you do me a favor? Please let me say it!
I like you, Director Do.
