[Unlock My Boss]
Min Ah, you can't get me, huh?
I totally can.
I got you!
Is he alive?
Oh, he's not alive.
- Aigoo! - Whoa!
- Min Ah, should we do that again? - Yes!
All right!
Let's do that one more time.
I think...
this will be the last time for me.
Let's go! One more time.
Whoa, it's a balloon.
How did you do it?
Gosh, so hideous.
You should smile for a kid.
What's he doing?
What are you doing? Do you have a toothache?
[10: Unlocked]
[Chungbuk Convalescent Hospital]
This is a really expensive talisman.
There are times when this
unremarkable piece of paper
is able to console someone.
I'll especially...
give it to you, Se Yeon.
Stick it right on your mother's bed.
Was it in middle school?
It was the night before our school trip,
so I couldn't fall asleep.
That's when...
I heard...
my mom sobbing.
Imagine how helpless and afflicted...
she must've felt raising...
a daughter on her own.
I'm now old enough to see that.
But now I'm unable to thank her...
for not giving up...
on me...
until the end.
That's when I started.
I didn't want to
show my mom the sight of me...
crying or struggling.
So I bit down on my lips and endured.
But then I met you and came to a realization.
I should've...
asked my mom more questions and listened to her...
like you do, instead of just holding it all in.
Then my mom would've...
been less lonely and troubled.
I regret it so much now.
Uncle Mafia, will you be late tonight, too?
[Uncle Mafia]
Did you two have a fight?
- Sorry? - What?
Well, you haven't spoken a word on the way back.
Nothing happened.
I'll get going now.
Oh, where will you be staying now, Secretary Jung?
The distance is...
It's not like you can go to work while living at the hospital.
I'm thinking about it.
If it's okay with you,
you can stay here with us.
Here?
No.
In this house, not the study.
If you live here, Min Ah would like that, too.
All right.
Good night.
♫ The other side of the moonlit surface ♫
Good night.
♫ This night is perfect for displaying the stars ♫
Good night.
What are you doing?
♫ Until there's a red hue ♫
Earlier...
I'll see you in the morning.
♫ I'm going to your side ♫
♫ Maybe, if you're like me by any chance ♫
Good night.
♫ Baby, I have something I want to say to you ♫
♫ I'm thinking about you even now ♫
♫ When I'm about to fall asleep ♫
♫ In this blurred early morning, I miss you so much ♫
Can't fall asleep?
Yes, oddly so.
Well, I guess...
you've never gotten this close before.
What do you mean, this close?
I'm talking about the two billion won.
Oh, I see...
If Executive Director Oh is dismissed at the extraordinary board meeting,
we'll be able to officially investigate
and punish her.
And we can recover your body, too.
About now, Park In Seong is probably...
meeting Vice Chairman.
If you want to stop that deal...
then give us President Kim Seon Ju.
[Bumyoung Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders]
Starting now, August 16, 2022,
we will begin the Bumyoung Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.
Vice Chairman Oh Young Geun will be serving as the chair.
I won't drag this out with all the important people here.
I'll promptly take the vote
on the dismissal of Executive Director Oh Mi Ran.
[Bumyoung Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders]
Vice Chairman.
The tally is finished.
I'll announce the results
of the ballot for dismissal of Bumyoung Corporation's Executive Director, Oh Mi Ran.
Out of a total of
114,638,752 shares,
voted against were
97,685,593 shares.
As a result,
I declare the dismissal of Executive Director Oh Mi Ran
has been rejected.
Did you ask for me?
President Park In Seong came looking for me.
He gave me an interesting offer.
What?
To join forces and destroy me?
I've thought about it.
Bumyoung's owner's family attempted...
to force the launch of a new product, knowing about its critical problem?
If this gets exposed to the world,
would it end with just you getting kicked out?
I don't...
have the slightest interest in sitting on a ruined throne.
Chair.
I'd like to propose an urgent agenda.
Please go ahead.
President Park In Seong of Silver Lining didn't perform his duties as an in-house director.
I'm proposing a motion to dismiss him.
- I consent! - Agreed!
- I consent! - I agree.
- I consent! - Agreed!
Breaking news. After President Kim Seon Ju resigned,
President Park In Seong failed to serve for even three months, and
the market's evaluation on Silver Lining is becoming cold as well.
A dismissal?
What are they talking about?
Wasn't Silver Lining owned by you, President Kim?
That's true.
The problem is if Executive Director Oh and Vice Chairman combine their shares,
I'm outnumbered.
We've been totally played.
You can stop. I'll take them off myself anyway!
But why do you think she's rushing this?
Whether In Seong is the president or not,
nothing will change for the renowned Bumyoung.
I know.
I can't tell why she'd increase the stake by bothering to dismiss him.
Please take them off carefully. Don't break the glass.
Director Kim.
You haven't heard yet, huh?
Appointed as the temporary president, I'm Director, no-
President Kim Yong Seol.
Secretary Jung must stay behind.
I know it's tough, but please hang in there.
We'll also find a way to come back.
Executive Director Oh,
I'm sorry to tell you this, but
Vice Chairman ordered me to look into plane tickets to the U.S. and housing.
He's probably trying to send me off to the U.S. branch.
As Silver Lining's president was dismissed,
the media's view on self-driving cars has indeed become skeptical.
If you allow me, I'll look for a chance to take Vice Chairman-
Will the shareholders' votes...
come to side with me if we do that?
Anyone would see that I'm the most suspicious one.
I didn't think that far.
If they think Oh Young Geun suffered an unfair death,
then the shareholders will support his close aide, don't you think?
Sympathy votes are always the scariest in an election.
Do you like baseball?
Excuse me?
I like baseball.
There's no need to be winning for a long time in baseball.
Because you just need to win at the end.
You know, walk-off home runs are always the most thrilling.
I understand.
The only thing for that to happen is...
Captain Noh...
what's the most you can do for my sake?
[Two years ago]
Your supervisor said he knows nothing about it.
[Written Statement] You did it all on your own, didn't you?
People like you are why the Korean army's canteen culture won't change.
Stamp it there.
That's the way for everyone to live.
[June 1, 2020, Noh Wi Je]
You committed military spending corruption all alone?
It's way too big in scale, though.
Who are you?
I'll give you credit for your loyalty to keeping your mouth shut.
However...
your target of allegiance sucks.
I said, who the hell are you?
What about this?
The life you were going to throw away anyway...
why don't you try betting it on me?
W-Why didn't you wake me up?
You think I didn't try to wake you up?
Park the Jobless?
Oh, right.
What about Min Ah?
She's in her room.
S-Still?
In fact...
she has been sluggish lately.
W-Why?
Why else?
After you were fired, the news and YouTube just won't stop saying that
President Kim Seon Ju has a serious problem if he's not returning at a time like this.
He is terminally ill or has started a new family abroad...
They keep rambling on stuff like that.
Even that little one sees and hears everything.
Min Ah, this is Uncle In Seong.
What's this? Is Uncle the seeker?
Where could Min Ah be?
What's wrong?
Did something happen to Min Ah?
Min Ah isn't here.
Have you seen Min Ah today, by any chance?
No, I didn't see her today.
Then, did something happen yesterday?
She ran away from home this morning.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
We're not changing our internet provider.
What do you like the most in the world?
Me?
I like Choco Pie.
What about you?
A little brat going around stealing stuff...
Where did you learn to steal?
This won't do. Raise your hands!
Did you think I wouldn't know if you just took it? Huh?
You're in serious trouble.
Where's your mom?
What about your dad?
See? Look at this.
This is why you can tell kids without parents!
I can't help it. Let's go to the police-
What did you say?
What did you say!
What did I do... sir?
O-Oh, are you perhaps the dad?
Do you want to ride the seesaw with me?
Min Ah, aren't you going to talk to me?
I have eight things that I'm curious...
about Min Ah, though.
That's only seven things.
Oh, you just talked!
Are you going to talk to me now?
I'm also curious about something.
What is it?
Ask away. I will tell you everything.
What do I have to do...
to be taken by the police?
- What? - Why isn't the policeman...
taking me away when I stole something?
Min Ah, a good kid doesn't go to the police station.
No, I need to be taken to the police...
for my dad to come looking for me.
I'm not going to be a good kid.
Daddy...
I miss...
my daddy...
so much.
[Sky, Wind, Stars, and Poem]
[Self-portrait] Self-portrait.
"Skirting the foot of the hill by myself I come to a lone well by a paddy
and silently look into it.
Therein is a man as well.
I hate him, but I know not why. I turn away from him and go away.
While going away...
I come to feel compassion for him.
I return and again look into the well.
Therein remains that man.
Again, I come to hate him and go away.
While going away...
I come to long for him."
♫ My day that was full of noise ♫
"In the well, there is the moon, shining bright,
clouds flowing by and
the sky spreading open.
A blue wind wafts.
It is autumn,
and the man therein is but a remembrance."
♫ Please shine on me splendidly ♫
♫ Like the main character of this world ♫
♫ Don't say anything and just hold me ♫
President Kim, are you okay?
No.
I'm outraged and frustrated.
I'm resentful and upset.
Watching Min Ah today,
I felt insignificant for being unable to do anything.
Like that time...
I think you should prepare for the worst.
You don't have much time left.
God bless you both.
What did the doctor say?
A new life and separation...
came to me simultaneously.
♫ I'm sorrowful ♫
Did he say I'm seriously ill?
♫ I had to go my way, leaving you ♫
Let's-
Let's...
just go to Korea.
♫ Hidden by the light of the world ♫
♫ Please shine on me splendidly ♫
I thought I was all that, but
there was nothing I can do.
♫ Don't say anything and just hold me ♫
♫ As if you know my feelings ♫
And yet...
things ended up this way again.
♫ Look at me and cry ♫
President Kim...
I can't even hug my daughter, who just misses her dad.
Allow her to see you.
Let's have her see you.
Sorry?
We can't just keep hiding it like this endlessly.
So that she can accept reality...
Well...
shall we tell her that her dad lives inside a phone?
Some day...
that could be a method.
Keeping a good watch on Park In Seong, right?
There weren't any noticeable things.
Really? That's strange.
When a person is standing at the edge of a cliff,
he's bound to make an irrational move.
You get taken over by emotions instead of reason.
Are you saying he'll aim to regain his presidency?
We don't know about that.
However...
there's a way to demolish a foe preemptively,
whose intentions we don't know of.
If Park In Seong gets branded by the masses,
then whatever he does...
or whatever he chatters,
they won't believe him.
What nice weather.
I can't reach Mapi hyungnim.
He didn't even say where he was going?
No.
Could he have left us?
It wouldn't be strange for him to leave us.
We'll just have to wait.
Take care now.
Let me know if anything happens at work.
President Park In Seong, did you assault an employee and get arrested?
Isn't it power abuse to turn on the sprinklers because the meeting didn't go your way?
Please give us a word!
An expert's opinion says you have emotional dysregulation!
- Please give us a word! - Please answer!
As President Park In Seong's true colors were exposed,
there's also a logical inference that he might have
harmed President Kim Seon Ju to become
Silver Lining's-
It's time for you to go up.
What does "harmed" mean, Butler?
W-What's all this about?
My son is...
t-the...
president?
The president part isn't the problem.
They're saying he's the worst man ever.
W-Wait...
Father, how did your son become Silver Lining's president?
Please give us a word!
Did your son really assault an employee?
Please give us a word!
Has it been agreed with President Kim Seon Ju?
Please tell us something!
Mother, please tell us one thing!
A-Aigoo...
Please give us a word!
Mother! Tell us!
Please tell us something, Mother!
Please tell us!
Is it true that he wasn't prepared for his job?
[A false dream is toxic]
I ruined everything.
It's not your fault, In Seong.
Seeing Journalist Ko working on the frontlines,
it must be Vice Chairman's doing.
Whoever's doing it is, I ultimately had done those things.
My nosiness and...
my outbursts...
provided the pretext.
It's an obvious move.
Because the message wouldn't have a flaw,
they created flaws in the messenger.
In a situation where they don't know our plan, they struck us first.
In the first place, a mere job seeker like me shouldn't have
dared to be the president...
No, no. Instead of blaming yourself,
we need a plan right now.
[Secretary Jung Se Yeon]
There's a big problem.
[Appointment of Development and Sales Teams of Silver Lining]
[Following the dismissal of President Park In Seong, Silver Lining's HR will be restructured...]
[Silver Lining's HR will be restructured effective August 20, 2022.]
Everyone's getting transferred?
What's this about?
I found out why they wanted to kick you out of the President's Office.
Silver Lining's technology and employees...
Bumyoung Electronics is trying to rob all of it.
I don't think it'll matter to me.
[Former President Park In Seong's position will be temporarily...]
This isn't a transfer but more like a reallocation.
If Baro 4.0 technology is also taken,
they'll launch it regardless of the bug.
An AI that makes subjective decisions in
self-driving cars, fridges, and inductions.
Any accident can happen anyhow and anywhere.
We need to stop them.
We've run out of options, though.
Who are you, you bastard?
Where are you hiding Kim Seon Ju?
Oh, you're ambitious because you take after your dad, huh?
That's why you fearlessly take trips
to remote areas during every vacation.
What's the deal with you, asshole?
How do you know about that?
You think that's all I know? Huh?
Get up.
I also know you live in a dorm and
all the shops your wife frequents.
I'll be going to your family right now...
although I don't know what I'll do to them.
Don't go!
Please don't go!
I know that one thing.
They always told me this.
That he needs to be breathing until there's an order.
Rather than big hospitals...
places with fewer people...
like the hospital I'm at,
you should look into mental or
convalescent hospitals in remote areas-
Aigoo...
- I'll be back soon, so... - Yes.
prepare yourself for a sparring, okay?
What the- Who are you?
- You can't do this here. Please leave- - Geez!
- Thank you. - Please take care.
There was a testimony from
an insider saying that Mr. Park went on a table and
popped the sprinklers during an executive meeting!
Whoa, isn't this crazy, seriously?
I can tell from just one glance.
He just popped the sprinklers because the meeting
wasn't going the way he wanted.
And on top of that, a Silver Lining executive killed himself in July.
But it's a bit suspicious for it to be a coincidence, right?
[Mom] You're eating your meals, right?
I'm on your side no matter what, son.
Is it true?
Oh, hey.
Min Ah.
Uncle, did you really...
punish...
Min Ah, the thing is...
a bad person?
Huh? This is...
[Live] Here.
One second, please.
Excuse me.
I want to help.
So, according to you, Ma'am,
you were being bullied by a full-time employee,
and it was former President Park In Seong,
who punished him with power abuse in return?
Yes.
Some young gentleman was stepping up...
so I was clueless about what was happening.
But it turns out that he's the president.
I wasn't sure if it was a dream or happening for real.
Even so, it wouldn't have been easy for you to come out here.
Is there a reason you still took courage, nonetheless?
It was the first time.
Being looked down upon because I'm a janitor...
and I thought that was normal.
But he let me know...
that it isn't normal.
For the first time,
he spoke up for people like us.
Which broadcasting station is this?
Unless they don't want our ads anymore, tell them to take it down!
It's Silver Lining's internal online channel.
Silver Lining-
[Viewers: 4,500, Likes: 2,000] Call Director Kim right now!
I wanted to let him know for sure.
When Mr. Nam was...
- harassing me... - What are you doing right now?
- I wanted to say that... - You can't be doing this.
President Park In Seong is such a good person!
I'm really thankful to him!
- President Park In Seong! - What the heck are you doing right now?
Don't turn it off.
What's the point of this? It's such a hassle.
I'm Kim Yong Seol, the temporary president of Silver Lining.
I'm also a subordinate who worked with former President Park In Seong.
I also...
have something I'd like to say, which is why I'm sitting in front of the camera.
What do you mean by that?
President Park In Seong...
presented a new profit-generating model
for Silver Lining AR Glasses, which had to close its business.
As a result, we signed contracts with 32 countries.
It is highly likely that operating profit will exceed 19.2% in the second half of this year.
Thanks to this,
not only Silver Lining,
but 400 subcontractors were also able to coexist.
The President Park In Seong I know
is both a good person
and a good boss.
Someone who's better suited for the presidency than I am.
Okay?
Thank you.
How fortunate, seriously!
This time, a citizen whose life was saved by President Park In Seong also appeared.
[Former Silver Lining President Park, Saves Child] A woman who was on her way with her child
bumps into a man who's passing by
and loses hold of the stroller on the stairs.
Thanks to President Park In Seong, who appeared and saved the child,
the child was unharmed.
Now to Reporter Park Sun Young.
This past June 23, at exit 2 of Hankuk University Station,
Ms. Yoon was standing with a stroller at the entrance.
From the impact of bumping into someone,
the stroller carrying the baby fell down the stairs.
Just then, we can see one citizen throwing his body toward the stroller without hesitation.
Upon confirmation, it was Silver Lining's former president, Park In Seong.
[Ms. Yoon/Child's Mother] He left in such a hurry,
so I couldn't get his contact information.
And I couldn't even thank him.
But after watching the news,
I realized...
it was President Park In Seong.
My life savings.
[Buy, Order Confirm]
Let's go.
All right, let's go. Let's go!
[Buy, Order Confirm]
[500 shares, Order Confirm]
I can do it!
[Confirming Cash Buy Order]
[Your buy order has been completed]
They call it the Donghak Ant Movement nowadays.
The citizens' purchase of Silver Lining shares,
demanding former President Park In Seong's reinstatement, is heating up.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Oh, what about the gas valve?
- I shut it. - All right.
Wait, what about the stamp?
Gosh.
Aigoo, we're going to be late to Seoul at this rate.
Why do you want to go to Seoul?
We can go to the bank in the town.
Why go to the town?
We have to go to Silver Lining.
Look, we need to go to the bank to buy stocks.
What are you talking about?
We must go to the company to buy their stocks.
Hey, don't be so stubborn!
What's the matter with you?
- I'm telling you, I'm right! - Come on now!
- Hey, you want to bet? - Why bet between a married couple-
Bet?
Baro, where do we go to buy stocks?
Yes, stocks...
Yes?
can be purchased at home with your smartphone.
Really?
I thought...
I lived a good life.
But once I actually fell into a crisis,
there wasn't a single person I could trust next to me.
On the other hand,
the people around you volunteered to help you on their own.
Your nosiness...
and outbursts...
are returning everything back to its place.
- Oh, Se Yeon! - Oh, you were over here.
The board was called to meet again.
They'll be discussing the dismissal of President Park In Seong again.
In Seong,
you're not someone I would consider a good boss.
However...
I do think you're the boss people want.
[Fake Rumors about President Park In Seong of Silver Lining]
Why did you do that?
Why did you bother chasing
a dying rat to the edge of a cliff only to get bitten?
I'll take care of it.
Did you think you could still manipulate
and control the media?
How archaic are your methods?
It's so obsolete now, where every person is an individual media.
What did you say?
The board is already being stirred.
We just need to wait a little bit.
Didn't I tell you the public is The Great Unwashed*, anyway? (Poor or ordinary people)
They're...
scary precisely because they're the Great Unwashed.
Because they react to emotions, not reason.
Swept away by popular sentiment,
they're tearing into Bumyoung for firing Park In Seong.
A job seeker becomes the president again.
In Seong, you're living your dream.
I told you...
my dream was to become an actor.
In that case...
could I ask why you gave up?
I didn't give up.
I'm just persevering.
Since time will solve it all.
When I said my mom collapsed...
people started to...
give me unwanted consolations.
Do you know which phrase I heard the most?
"Time is the best medicine."
But...
that's only half-correct.
It's not that time resolves everything on its own.
It's that you endure...
and persevere on your own...
during that time.
Until you become dull to the pain.
Se Yeon...
I hope your dream...
doesn't become dull, In Seong.
We're young enough to become anything except child actors.
Cheers.
[Royce Mental Hospital]
Hey!
- I said to let go! - Hurry and kick him out!
- Come on, hit me. - Gosh, seriously.
It's an emergency!
Some guy just took the patient you brought in last time!
Excuse me!
What are you doing?
What the heck are you doing?
What is he doing? What's wrong with him?
What do we do?
Hey!
[Pushover]
The person you are calling-
[Secretary Jung 50 Million]
The person you are calling is not answering the phone.
[President Kim's home]
Hello?
It's me. Tell Park In Seong I found Kim Seon Ju.
You found the president?
Tell him to meet me at the gym.
What's with the president, and where's the gym?
He'll know if you say the gym!
H-Hello, hello?
Gosh, he only says what he needs to.
How can a person be like this?
With this, I hereby state that former President Park In Seong has been reinstated as Silver Lining's president.
