She should've just come with me.
Public transportations will soon stop running.
Mom.
You know...
that I didn't deceive him on purpose, right?
Of course I do.
If I was alive,
I would have poured you a glass of soju...
and played the tambourine in a karaoke for you.
Your mom died too early to do all that.
I'm sorry.
I'm making you worry even after your death.
Worrying is what mothers do.
We worry about our children even after we die.
By the way...
Maybe I'm actually a very bad person.
I didn't mean to deceive him,
but maybe I did it on purpose.
What does that mean?
Actually,
I kind of enjoyed it.
I liked that he shared his umbrella with me...
and I liked how he pursued me.
I knew...
he did all that...
not to Jeong Gal Hee, his minion,
but to Veronica Park, the heir of Park Group.
Still, I liked it.
It may seem like little things,
but I would never be able to receive such treatment...
for the rest of my life...
if I were just Secretary Jeong.
You should go home now.
You might catch a cold.
When I first saw you.
On the day of the incident,
you said you met your secretary...
and your secretary said...
she visited her mother who was an hour away.
When did you meet her?
We got a very interesting...
CCTV footage.
Here you go.
Hwangcheon Villa. 12:10am.
17 minutes ago. Han River.
Secretary Lee Eul Wang was caught on CCTV...
going to her mother's place.
And we even have the security guard's testimony...
who claims to have witnessed her.
How could you have possibly met her?
I didn't say I met her.
I said I went to meet her.
When I talked to her on the phone, Eul Wang's voice...
So you call her by her name?
Do I need to tell you about her personal matters too?
Please, go ahead.
Yes, Secretary Lee.
- Secretary Lee? - Turn left in 200m...
- at Hwangcheon Intersection. - Secretary Lee?
It seemed like there had been an accident.
She won't answer her phone, so I was worried about her.
I took a taxi immediately and went to Hwangcheon Intersection.
But when I was there...
Your secretary wasn't there, right?
- That's right. - Oh, no. What a bummer.
We already checked all the CCTV footages you were in.
From 9pm forward,
on the road from Seoul to Hwangcheon Intersection,
not even a single taxi was caught on the CCTV footages.
I guess that's possible.
The taxi driver took the wrong way.
I think it was called Owol-ri?
We went to Hwangcheon Intersection from there.
Owol-ri?
There's actually another exit before that.
You checked all the CCTV footages, right?
From what I know, there aren't CCTVs there...
because there's so little traffic.
I might not have given you the answer you wanted,
but I believe I gave you my honest answers.
May I go now?
Isn't it weird?
Usually, when something happens to a boss,
his secretary looks for him.
But he insists something happened to his secretary,
and he went to find her in the middle of the night?
Traveling over an hour?
(President Sim Hae Yong)
I almost forgot after a few nights of stay in the suite room.
Right.
This is where I belong.
(Employment Contract)
"The contract is terminated whenever the employee wants."
It has always been my dream...
to sign a contract like this.
He should be meeting her...
by now.
What?
He hasn't reached me yet.
I might be late!
(Employment Contract)
She's coming. She's coming!
The heroine is back in the office after two weeks.
She's going to be only successful as the president's secretary.
TnT Mobile's rising sun.
Jeong Gal Hee!
But why does the heroine look so terrible?
She's not a rising sun. She looks somewhat pale.
(Director Do Min Ik)
Hello, sir.
You're late.
I believe you want to talk to me.
Yes, I do.
Where should we start?
Yesterday,
when I went to the restaurant...
Min Ik, what took you so long?
She was already gone.
So you failed to meet her?
She just left, saying she needs to take care of something.
She said she would call you.
That must be her. Answer it.
Okay.
Hello.
Did you meet her?
The story is just about to get interesting.
Hey, you're here.
Wait a minute.
Why was Dr. Gu there?
Why did you meet Dr. Gu all of a sudden?
Seeing you all agitated...
is making me want to modify the story to my advantage.
Can you please just get to the point?
I need to go somewhere.
Think of it as a commercial break...
and wait for the rest of the story with a blanket.
There's a huge twist to the story,
so it'll require a little courage to listen to it.
Did he meet her or not?
I'm sure he didn't meet her.
If he did meet her, he wouldn't keep beating around the bush...
because he would have so many questions to ask.
Actually, no. He must've met her.
That's probably why he mentioned that there's a twist.
What other twist would there be to this story?
Do you have it? Where is it?
Is this it?
Gosh, I should've listened to Dr. Park.
But I got drunk and ended up telling you something unnecessary.
How can you call that unnecessary?
If my blood pressure goes up,
I'm able to see people's faces.
That's the biggest twist I've ever heard...
during my days as a prosopagnosia patient.
If your blood pressure goes up, it temporarily supplies blood...
to your cerebral gyrus, which helps with your blood flow.
Therefore, I only meant that there's a high possibility.
But it's not guaranteed.
That's why I'm going to try.
From now on, apart from when I'm asleep...
No, actually, even when I'm asleep,
I'm going to focus my energy on increasing my blood pressure.
Your blood pressure isn't some kind of a report card.
- You can't increase it by trying. - What?
On top of that, you've never even seen people's faces...
ever since the accident.
You're wrong.
I actually did.
You did?
During the stockholders' meeting,
I could suddenly see people's faces very clearly...
as if I was focusing a camera on them.
- And... - And?
And...
I wonder...
if I actually saw her face that day.
I can see.
When? What were you doing?
Well, I didn't intend on it.
But I was doing this.
I was...
holding a woman like this.
- She must be the woman you like. - What?
The prosopagnosia patient that Dr. Park treated...
also could see properly...
when he met the woman he loved.
Let me explain.
When you're with someone you love, your heart rate increases.
And when that happens, your blood pressure naturally goes up as well.
I don't love her.
I'm sure it was just a dream. It was a dream.
Where's the medicine? Didn't you bring it?
It's too dangerous to take medicine.
If you want to increase the blood pressure that flows to your brain,
you either need to take a cardiac stimulant...
or get 3 to 4 liters of IV injected into your body.
But if you do that, you might experience side effects...
such as chest pains, headaches, or heart failure.
What's this?
These are medical compression stockings.
They're worn by patients with spinal injury...
when they show signs of orthostatic hypotension.
Are you telling me to wear this?
You told me to bring everything that helps increasing blood pressure.
Everything!
Here. It's what you asked for.
I wrote every kind of situation that could increase your blood pressure.
And this is...
a portable manometer.
By the way, who is it that you want to see so badly...
by trying this hard?
There's someone I must see.
The moment my blood pressure goes up,
I'm going to remember where I am...
and what I did,
and I'm going to meet that woman.
I just want to see her face...
for at least a couple of seconds.
Did I tell you this?
I'm a jerk worse than you think.
I forgot to tell you this, Dae Ju.
I'm the crazy wench who catches jerks.
What brings you here?
She and I are really close.
You should've called before you came.
Why is it so loud outside?
You can't just enter like this...
I'm sorry.
But she kept causing a fuss saying she's very close with you.
You have a nice office.
I found out that you, old lady...
I mean, I found out...
that you're a very famous person.
Hey, even the best movie directors in the country...
bow their heads as they enter my office...
because they're scared of me.
How dare you come in here looking so confident?
What? Do you think I'll get angry?
I can just buy another one.
Really?
You're still fine, right?
Do you think I can't afford two?
Secretary Kim!
I want you to order the exact same ones.
Right now!
Yes, President Park.
What should I do? Should I kick her out?
No, leave her here.
If she does anything, I'll at least be able to get angry at her.
Okay, President Park.
I came to ask you something.
What do I need to do to become a star?
You don't even know how to cut an onion.
But you want the secret pasta recipe?
Isn't that all you do?
Awesome.
Did you live in New York?
You have an East Coast accent.
I took internet lectures.
I was always the top or second top student in school.
But unfortunately,
I didn't get accepted to the University of Pennsylvania.
What?
Then why don't just do what you're good at...
instead of causing a fuss trying to do something you're bad at?
There's no other way to increase one's social status in Korea...
other than becoming a star.
Even if I succeed by studying hard,
I'll only end up slaving away for conglomerates like you.
Can't you see...
that I'm the one slaving away because of you?
I'm going to become a star no matter what.
And when I do, I'm going to make every single person...
that looked down and harassed my sister...
get down on their knees...
in front of her.
It's a revenge?
I'm starting to get interested since this is about getting revenge.
But before we do anything,
why don't you sit here and use that thirst for revenge...
on writing this?
Think about every single person who harassed...
your older sister.
Use your anger, resentment, and frustration...
to your full capacity.
(Certification of Contents)
Secretary Jeong.
What? Where did she go?
I told her to wait.
(Director, Do Min Ik)
Did she sign the contract already?
This contract must've been extremely marvelous to her...
seeing that she signed it already.
(I'm sorry)
I'm sorry.
You're here, Director Do.
"I'm sorry"?
Does this mean...
you're no longer going to work with me?
Shouldn't that be right?
Why?
Did someone say they would pay you more than I do?
- What? - Or...
is it because I'm a nuisance?
Well... It's...
He didn't see her. I'm sure he didn't.
That's why he doesn't know why I should quit.
Jeong Gal Hee, it's time.
Do it now.
You have to tell him the truth now.
Why? You can't bring yourself to tell me the truth?
- No. - No?
- What? - No?
Fine.
I know I'm bad.
I'm really bad.
And I'm ill.
I understand your boss is a nuisance to you.
We're a boss and a secretary.
An employer and an employee.
To tell the truth, that's...
what we are after all.
If you don't like your employer,
you should leave.
Secretary Jeong.
You're much wiser of a woman...
than I thought.
(I'm sorry.)
I bet you remember the day we came here together.
I clearly remember it.
You said if I help you get rid of Min Ik at the board meeting,
you will merge the media divisions and give it to me.
But why would a player...
break his promise with his coach?
It wasn't a promise,
but an offer.
I didn't say I'd do it.
Who are you?
Between me and Do Min Ik, which one do you work for?
Do I...
have to work for someone?
You're right.
You should have the guts to play independently to be a better player.
Director Park wants to switch players immediately,
but I don't share that opinion.
You just scored an own goal by mistake,
but you're still a good striker.
Veronica Park is very thorough about her work,
but she even risked her position to support you.
Even though you scored an own goal, I'm going to keep you in my team.
What do you mean?
Did Veronica Park give up her position?
Running or cycling is effective in increasing blood pressure.
When your blood pressure is over 140,
the alarm goes off from the manometer.
Your blood pressure is considered high if it's 140 over 90.
Why?
You can't bring yourself to tell me the truth?
No.
- No? - What?
No?
Does she think I like being with her?
100?
I exercised so hard, but it's only 100?
What should I do to make it over 140?
"Drinking after exercise..."
"activates sympathetic nerves..."
"and raises blood pressure rapidly."
Drinking?
Why did I say no right at that moment?
It would've been better if he met her.
Why are things going so complicated?
Gosh, what's that?
What kind of man wears tights to a place like this?
Secretary Jeong?
One jokbal set and soju please.
If you're uncomfortable, I can leave.
Why? Do you feel uncomfortable to see me here again,
when you already hate seeing me at work?
That's not what I meant.
If that's not it, don't worry about me...
and drink your soju.
I just came here for a single purpose.
To drink soju.
By the way, why are you drinking soju?
You usually drink a glass of champagne.
Well...
And the way you're dressed is a little strange.
Did they take my order or not?
Drink this first.
What is this? A manometer?
What are you doing?
Do you have a blood pressure problem?
That's not it.
As soon as my disease is cured,
the contract between you and me...
will be terminated.
It means...
she will leave me as soon as I become able to see people's faces.
It's not serious.
Dr. Gu told me to check my blood pressure regularly.
I guess it's very serious then.
Is this the surprise you heard from Dr. Gu yesterday?
If you guys are going to chat on, you should share the table.
You two seem pretty close.
You're mistaken.
We're not close at all.
The thing is...
as of today,
we turned against each other.
I drank a lot. Gosh.
Is it broken?
I think you're the one that's broken.
I am?
I'm not drunk.
Gosh.
Where's the kickstand?
No way.
I was right.
Secretary Jeong.
Call the police now.
Why?
You know why. Can't you see it?
Someone stole my bicycle handlebar.
Get off the bike.
Get off.
What?
I think you should hold me tightly.
You almost fell earlier.
I don't need to hold you tightly.
I'm all sobered up now.
So let's just keep going like this.
Then...
There's something I couldn't tell you earlier.
I couldn't say it while looking at your face.
I'll just say it now, so please listen.
What is it?
Actually, I...
Are you okay?
Maybe I'm not sober yet.
My heart is racing...
and I have butterflies in my stomach.
What's wrong with me?
Oh, my goodness.
Mother, are you attending a meeting or something?
Yes, I am. Your wedding.
Mother.
I still don't know that man very well.
You brat!
What do you mean by you don't know that man?
One date should be enough to get to know a person.
If you keep putting your spoon in and out,
you will have no idea if the soup is salty or bland!
Look at me.
You can't wear silk in summer because it makes you sweat.
Before the flowers fall,
set the date!
This is driving me nuts.
It's Director Do.
I'll get going.
Have a good night.
Hey.
Didn't you say you wanted to say something?
Oh, that.
I'll tell you when you're sober.
Good night.
Do you really have to leave?
Excuse me?
Can't you just...
stay with me?
Can't you do that?
You want me to stay with you?
Gosh.
I just had two bottles of soju, and now I'm talking like a poet.
Now I'll talk professional, so listen up.
Tell me what you want and how much salary you want.
I'll take them into consideration.
So please reconsider the contract renewal.
Until the president election,
I need someone who can see faces for me.
Goodness.
Good night.
Who is it?
Hello.
I think I'm in front of your place now.
Where?
The place is a little shabby.
So this is what "shabby" means.
This is amazing. I have only read about shabby houses in books.
I have never seen one in real life.
You came all the way up here in the middle of the night.
You must have something important to talk about.
Let's break up.
Excuse me?
Let's end it.
The relationship between your boss and me.
I would love to do that, but...
If I break up with him,
Ms. Park Seok Ja will kick my back and bend my spine.
So tell your boss...
to tell Chief Director Sim Hae Ra that he broke up with me.
I don't think he'll do that.
Why?
Because he likes you.
What?
I mean, his family thinks...
my boss likes you.
What a strange secretary you are.
Why do we have new scenarios that weren't on our plan?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I didn't know things would get this complicated.
Then...
let's do this.
Let's tell them that I'm seeing another man.
Another man?
Your boss loved me so much,
but I was already with another man.
If Chief Director Sim finds out about this,
she'll be too proud...
to say the details to my mother.
A break up due to incompatible personalities and busy schedules.
That would be a beautiful wrap.
What do you think of my scenario?
Ma'am, it's not that kind of a problem.
Listen to me, Jeong Gal Hee.
In the scenario you wrote, did Ms. Park Seok Ja...
buy a hanbok for wedding?
I think we only have two options now.
Either we go with my scenario...
or your boss and I have a wedding.
"No."
"There should only be one person by my boss."
"It's Jeong Gal Hee."
"I'm the only person he should be with."
Gosh, I was right again.
Let's fix this as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Ms. Park Seok Ja will...
start printing wedding invitations next week.
Can't you just stay with me?
Can't you do that?
I would love to, but...
Then let's do this.
Let's tell them that I'm seeing another man.
But...
I can't deceive him again.
- I can't. - Find him.
I will keep an eye on him.
Thank you.
Hey. "As You Like It."
Wasn't this an adult book?
The title sounded naughty, so I bought the audio book,
but it's just trash.
It's a Shakespeare's book.
What? Is he a famous writer?
All the world is a stage.
And us, humans, are merely actors on stage.
"All the world..."
- "is..." - And as humans, we play many parts.
- "a stage". - Plays are in seven acts.
Jung Hee. Shakespeare...
wouldn't say anything wrong.
He's a great writer.
This guy's a great writer as well?
Ever since I picked...
"Beneath the Wheel" by Hermann Hesse,
I promised myself that I won't get fooled by book titles anymore.
Yes.
Why get scared when Shakespeare said "All the world is a stage"?
I'll meet him and tell him that I'm seeing someone else...
and that we should break up.
I just need to end it once and for all.
Let's see.
(Boss)
(I have something to tell you. Can we meet tomorrow?)
Press the button, Gal Hee.
If I end this crazy act,
I'll finally be able to go back to my old life.
Gosh, if I do that,
I might not get to go on dates with him,
but I'll still be able to stay by his side...
as his secretary.
So please press the button. Press it.
Gosh, I sent it!
I have something to tell you.
Can we meet tomorrow?
Tomorrow? Tomorrow?
Tomorrow? What should I do?
I haven't found a way to increase my blood pressure yet.
I'll wear this bag.
And I'll wear these heels.
And as for earrings...
Oh, right. The copied file.
(ODG. xlsx)
This is an excel file.
Director Do never uses excel.
(Humans is unfair, but the deities are just.)
"Humans is unfair, but the deities are just."
Is that a typo?
It should be "Humans are unfair", not "Humans is unfair".
How am I supposed to wear this?
- Hello. - Hi.
What? What's this sound?
- You darn punk. - Ma'am.
You're mistaken.
What you're seeing right now...
are for medical purposes.
If those stockings are for medical purposes,
this right here is for correctional purposes.
I should get rid of something more disgusting...
before I clean the poop in the bathroom.
Get out, you worthless piece of poop.
Okay.
How could you think of doing this at work?
And in broad daylight at that?
Get out. I said, get out.
- Okay. - Get out of here.
- Ma'am, I'm a patient. - You darn punk.
You're mistaken.
You look completely normal. Do you have nothing better to do?
Ma'am, I'm telling you. You're mistaken.
I saw everything with my own two eyes.
Good morning.
You must be on your way...
to eat some gukbap, just like you always do.
Oh, dear.
My gosh, what's he doing?
Director Do, let's go to your office. Come on.
What did we just see?
Is this some kind of a strategy...
like the one he pulled at the stockholders' meeting?
You should go without me.
"Medical compression stockings"?
"Relieves symptoms due to varicose veins,"
"skin ulcers, and deep vein thrombosis."
Is he sick again?
(Sangmo Hospital, Department of Neurology)
"Sangmo Hospital, Department of Neurology".
Bingo.
Excuse me.
I'm Director Do's secretary.
I'm sorry, but can you pass me...
Director Do's pants and shoes?
Just a second.
I barely managed to wear these, but nothing's changed.
I have to see Veronica's face today.
Director Do, you're really weird these days. Do you know that?
The company will be electing the president soon.
Turn around.
My gosh.
Here are your pants.
If this is a personal hobby of yours,
you should enjoy it at home.
This isn't a hobby. They're for medical purposes!
They're not ordinary stockings.
They're compression stockings that helps increase your blood pressure.
Is it that bad?
Turn around!
How am I supposed to take these off?
Well...
I can't take them off.
I'm sure you've had a lot of experience taking them off.
I only dated women who wore pants, okay?
What is this?
It won't work if you take them off from the feet.
What?
You need to start from the waist and roll them down.
- Roll them down? - How should I say this?
It's like slipping out of your skin.
- Like slipping out of your skin. - Gosh, that hurts.
Should I help you?
Turn around!
Don't look, and don't come near me!
Just stay there and talk, okay?
How are you going to take them off?
Wait.
Director Do.
Yes?
I think I found a way.
What?
Let's rip them.
Rip them?
Yes.
I'm not looking.
I have my back turned to you.
Excuse me for touching you.
What's wrong?
No, it's nothing.
Well...
I'm going to rip them now.
I'm okay. You didn't need to drive me home.
You also have...
an appointment today.
I'm purposely driving you home...
before I go to that important appointment.
So think again about the contract I mentioned yesterday.
About the USB I told you last time...
I actually found a weird file inside.
Are you talking about "Romi, the Licking Dog"...
and "super innocent Ah Yeong"?
It's not what you think. It's not pornography.
There was a dog that looked really similar to the dog we used to have,
so I was going to show it to Dae Ju.
It was an excel file.
And the content was really weird too.
There were odd numbers on it as if it was a ledger.
And it had a really weird title.
"Humans is unfair, but the deities are just."
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
Yes. I'm fine.
It's folded.
It's okay. It's just a slight cut.
By the way, why is there a file in my USB?
Maybe you got the wrong one.
The company handed them out on the foundation day,
so there are a lot of them that look the same.
I'm sure it was from your jacket on the day of the accident.
Gosh, I told him it's confidential.
Then...
was the USB I picked up in Dae Ju's office that day...
not mine, but Dae Ju's?
I copied the files into my USB and put it in your drawer.
You should check it when you get to your office tomorrow morning.
Okay.
I think there's something wrong with the car. What should we do?
I should leave the car with the mechanic.
We're almost there, right?
Well...
Director Do, you're...
not the kind of person who would cling to a woman, right?
There's only one thing I cling to.
A chin-up bar.
That means you're not so hurt when a woman...
breaks up with you, right?
I feel hurt only when I get a cut like that.
That's a relief.
Oh, it's raining.
- Gosh. - I think I had an umbrella in here.
- Let's go over there. - Cover your head with this.
Cover yourself with this.
Come closer.
It's okay. You come closer.
Am I looking at...
your face now?
Gosh, what? Why does it have to be now?
What?
It's not that I'm drunk...
or nervous. But why...
You're not even wearing that cardigan now.
You have the blood pressure problem again?
Stay here. I'll go buy an umbrella.
Don't go.
Stay here just for a minute.
- Still... - I'm fine.
Just look at me.
It's been a long time,
Secretary Jeong.
Does the blood pressure affect your intelligence too?
We've been together the whole day.
By the way, you said you have an appointment today.
I'm sorry,
but I can't walk you home now. Take this.
No.
I'll use this instead.
Gosh.
Veronica Park speaking.
Hello, this is Do Min Ik.
I'm sorry, but I'd like to meet you...
somewhere else if you don't mind.
Now, I have...
a situation.
Okay. I'll see you later.
Bye.
Why would he want to change the place?
This place is...
right there.
What? Does he want me to come to the excavator?
Did something bad happen to you?
Did you read my mind? How did you know that?
You were like this when your mother passed away.
You played video games all day.
Are you being like this...
because of the police?
It worked out well.
Don't worry about it.
Or...
is this about the woman named Veronica Park?
How do you know Veronica Park?
This came to your office.
It's late. As always, thank you for the side dishes you got me.
Please come to work tomorrow, Director Gi Dae Ju.
(Certification of Contents)
"Certification of Contents"?
If addressee Gi Dae Ju fails to discharge his obligation...
to have dinner with me,
it will be reported to the authorities...
and all legal actions will be taken against him.
We have a problem, Boss.
There's someone who read the document.
And she...
remembers the exact phrase.
Jeong Gal Hee.
Fortunately, she doesn't seem to know what the numbers mean.
But once she figures out what they are,
she won't let it slide.
Either scenario will happen.
One, she gets rid of us,
or we...
get rid of her.
She's coming.
Will I see her face?
I bet I will.
I can see her.
(The Secret Life of My Secretary)
Did he just look at me?
How could everything be the same?
