(December, 2010)
This is Ms. Na Jung Sun who'll be joining us starting today.
You can greet her formally later.
Mr. Park, can you get her settled in?
Sure.
I look forward to working with you all.
Maybe,
it began the very first moment we met.
- Is that so? - Right.
He was diligent,
polite and...
After starting working...
I lost my appetite.
He was also careful with his words.
How is this acceptable? You should've been more attentive.
Your actions have caused a mess for so many people.
He wasn't the kindest.
Thank you.
But he was sweet.
So Jung Sun,
you'll work with the Communication Team...
Aren't you writing this down?
I won't repeat myself.
Sure. I'm to work with the Communication Team...
and manage the event.
I'm well aware of the process...
as I've done this line of work before.
I'll check and make sure we won't have any surprises.
Does your girlfriend like these kinds of events too?
Why do you ask?
The event is for women,
so I thought it'd be nice to have some feedback.
I see you're single.
I...
just liked him.
There are some mistakes that aren't acceptable.
How can you put down the wrong date?
What are we going to do when we already ordered 10,000 copies?
Are you going to pay for those yourself?
I'm sorry, sir. I'll correct them with stickers by today.
Is this the best you can do?
You messed up your first task.
How will anyone be able to give you proper work now?
- I'm sorry. - If even one client complains...
about the date being wrong,
you will be reprimanded.
You're dismissed.
Wasn't it Seo Hui who wrote up that layout?
It was signed off by the team leader,
and Jung Sun only took it to the print shop.
But she's the one who got into trouble.
All he does is go to the sauna and sign papers on his desk.
- He's clueless. - Tell me about it.
Poor Jung Sun.
I thought you went home after your outside meeting.
I forgot to take home a file.
Have you been working all night?
I have about 1,000 copies left,
so I'll be done before 1am.
You did this all by yourself?
The others only just left after helping me out.
I can manage this much myself,
and we only need one zombie in this office.
Let me see.
So this sticker...
Does it go right here?
Honestly, I'm good.
You have a meeting early tomorrow morning.
An extra set of hands will help you finish before midnight.
If that's the case,
I won't turn down your generous offer.
Aren't you upset?
This wasn't your fault.
I am upset.
I was so upset that I almost cried earlier.
You should've corrected him.
If I had,
he would've said that female employees...
only make excuses and never own up to their mistakes.
I'm very well aware of how Mr. Kim dislikes...
working with female employees.
Whatever happened,
I was assigned this task so it's my responsibility.
Who was at fault can be discussed after the issue is solved.
I sounded awesome, right?
Let's hurry and wrap this up.
Let's see.
You're slightly smitten, aren't you?
Right?
Let's get back to work.
I found this out later on,
but he'd look away whenever he lied.
(Episode 3: Crack)
(Today doesn't seem like a good day. I'm leaving now.)
(My other half)
Hello?
Honey, where are you?
Vice President Park drank a lot.
I'll soon be on my way home.
Are you still with him then?
Yes.
But I'm almost done here though.
You're probably tired, so don't wait up.
Explain...
this situation to me.
Do you really have another woman?
If you deny it, I'll believe you.
- Jung Sun. - I'll believe, so just deny it.
It's over.
Jung Sun.
I should go home.
Jung Sun.
I have to go home.
Jung Sun.
Jung Sun, we need to talk.
Jung Sun.
Please open the door.
Jung Sun.
Jung Sun, let's talk.
Slow down.
Jung Sun, slow down.
Are you insane?
If you want to die, go somewhere else and speed.
You can't do that while I'm around.
I'm sorry. I'll be careful.
Are you okay?
Yes.
You should go back today.
I'm fine.
You shouldn't be out on a drive when you're agitated.
Go home.
No.
Why does everyone that I love...
end up leaving me?
I completely believed that he of all people wouldn't.
You idiot.
You should never trust people.
You should just trust those seagulls up there.
Exactly.
Why did I do that?
- Don't let my dad... - I won't tell him.
Gosh, darn it. That jerk.
Hey, it's okay. You can't die from something like that.
Do you think so?
Just thinking about how he has been with another woman...
makes me lose my breath and feel insane.
I wish I never saw that.
Why did I follow him?
Something rotten like that...
is bound to blow up anyway.
I'm scared...
that I might lose him.
What should I do, Mr. Jang?
What am I going to do?
I have no idea what to say to you right now.
- Jung Sun. - Stay in the study for a while.
Let's not make it obvious at work.
I once believed...
that my love was special.
It's so special that it can fill in...
the cracks of this broken piece.
I had no idea...
that something already cracked...
could cause a bigger gap.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Hello.
- Hello. - Good morning.
Are you ill?
I couldn't sleep well.
Did everyone go home safely after the get-together?
You should be glad you left at that time.
People who went to the third round ended up drinking until 2:00am.
It even rained. How amazing of them.
It rained?
Your house is near mine, but it didn't rain.
Wait, Mi Na, did you move?
- No. - I took the taxi behind you,
but you took a turn away from Dongjak,
so I figured that you moved.
I left something at the restaurant, so I went back for a second.
What did you leave there?
Pardon?
It was pretty late.
Why didn't you call the restaurant and ask them to keep it there?
Oh, it was my phone.
Yes, we had a get-together there last week.
Yes, Sung Un Department Store.
Did anyone leave their phone there?
No?
In that case,
did anyone come by to get their phone?
No?
I see. Thank you.
To W Hotel, please.
We have trouble.
(Sung Un Department Store and Se Rin's Trunk Show Proposal)
Cha Se Rin.
She's a Black Diamond member,
the top tier customer of our department store.
She spent a million dollars here last year.
She's in the top 10 percent even among the Black Diamond members.
Ms. Cha owns a popular online video content creator,
and her main content is reviewing the luxury goods she bought.
With over two million followers,
she's the hottest fashion creator in Korea right now.
The Di Amor haul video from last month...
reached three million views in less than a week.
Hello, it's Se Rin.
Today, I have something you've been waiting for.
Yes, that's right. I bought...
15,000 dollars' worth of Di Amor items.
She's also CEO of a famous online shopping mall.
She launched her small online shopping mall...
when she was in high school and her family was poor,
but now her annual sales are 100 million dollars.
A high-school graduate success story.
That captivates everyone even more.
What exactly is the problem?
Cha Se Rin said she wants to...
show our trunk show on her online channel.
Trunk shows are confidential and therefore private.
But in this case, if it's broadcast,
it would be very effective for our target marketing strategy.
What does she want in return?
Everything.
She wants even the right to edit.
We select the items,
and she will review everything honestly, according to her taste.
If any item is badly reviewed,
that could be a loss to us.
Because it's a special video,
she said that she's planning...
to spend a great deal of money on our items.
The expected sales come at...
- 500,000 dollars. - 500,000 dollars?
I think we should do this.
A Black Diamond member is likely to be...
a VIP at other department stores.
If we don't do it, someone else will.
Exactly.
Discuss with Ms. Kang...
and get the details, Ms. Na and Ms. Lee.
Let's ask the vice president.
Okay.
Mr. Park, Design Team sent over the poster layout.
- Bring it to me. - Sure.
Yu Ri, will you find out more on Cha Se Rin?
Newspaper articles, online videos, media news.
Find out all you can.
Okay.
It's best we get started, right?
Yes, let's.
VIP Management Team split from Marketing Team...
a year ago.
Their focus is on bringing in more younger customers...
rather than increasing sales.
Existing customers are voicing their disdain.
We should wait for 2 or 3 years to see a visible change.
Sales might be the same, but our market share increased.
They can go after younger customers,
but they spend less than half the middle-aged do.
Spenders in their 20s and 30s are increasing fast.
Making uniform marketing efforts...
on the VIPs who spend the most.
Isn't that an old-fashioned, backward idea?
What? "Backward"?
That's enough.
Let's wait and see.
However, Mr. Ha's comments...
aren't completely groundless.
Prove yourself with numbers.
Yes, sir.
I almost fell for it.
You're so good.
Anyone would fall for it.
Here's what I found on Cha Se Rin.
I printed everything I found online.
Is this an encyclopedia?
- Pardon? - I'm not that free.
Do it again.
Okay.
10 pages max.
What?
Don't go over 10 pages.
Okay.
Focus on her fashion shopping trends.
Okay.
Who is Na Jung Sun?
Over there.
It's from Park Sung Jun.
Someone else's wedding anniversary comes round too often.
He doesn't look it at all,
but he gets romantic every year.
We'll do Cha Se Rin's trunk show.
- Prepare what we need. - Okay.
What is it?
What?
You've been distracted all day.
I feel a bit under the weather.
Do you?
Hyun A.
Never mind.
What was that about? Silly.
- I need to use the ladies' room. - Okay.
See you tomorrow.
- Good job. - Well done.
- See you. - Bye.
- Come on! - Okay.
I'm exhausted.
Let's go.
A team dinner on our first wedding anniversary?
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it
My way
You're the best.
- Wow. - You're amazing.
That was just amazing.
I worked hard.
He's having fun.
Hey.
Ms. Na, sing.
I have a sore throat.
Don't be like that.
You're our official singer.
You know that song.
"I'm a woman too".
- Sir, I will. - Me.
I'll sing.
Mr. Park, you'll sing?
You never sang in your life.
Fine then.
I feel like I'm going crazy
Waiting is still so hard for me
I hated that
I couldn't see you
Floating around
On the dark sea
On a broken little boat
I lay my small body
One day
You will
Hold me without a word
In your embrace
For a very long time
Walking has sobered me up a little.
I had no idea you were such a good singer.
What is it?
They're ruined.
Have you been carrying those around?
I'm sorry. Next time, I'll buy prettier flowers.
Actually, these aren't so bad.
Thank you.
(Thank you. May it keep on lasting. From Sung Jun)
Thank you.
May it keep on lasting.
Why did you do that?
When?
For how long?
It was more like an accident.
Hearing about the details will only hurt you more.
Now you care about me?
Then you should've denied the whole affair.
I was going to.
I was...
going to deny it.
But...
the moment you asked,
I couldn't lie...
just to deceive you.
Is it someone I know?
No.
I wish you were dead.
You and that woman. I wish you were both dead.
I know I have no right to say this,
but...
I'll apologize for what I did for the rest of my life.
I'll let you punish me until I rest.
So please,
could you give me a second chance?
I can't...
I can't lose you like this.
You've already lost me.
Hello, everyone.
You're here.
Hello.
Hyun A, you haven't met Mr. Cha before, right?
She is Chief Lee Hyun A.
She took some time off and came back a month ago.
He is Assistant Manager Cha Jin Ho.
He joined the Communication Team while you were away.
He's our liaison, so you'll be working closely with him.
Nice to meet you. I'm Lee Hyun A.
It's you, right?
The one from the hotel...
I mean, the elevator.
Have you two met?
No.
He must have me mixed up with someone else.
Shall we?
My apologies, then.
Mr. Park!
We'll talk later.
(Conference Room)
I'd like it done by next week.
Jung Sun, you seem gaunt.
Does Sung Jun not feed you properly?
I caught you off guard the other day, didn't I?
You should've just said that you miss me.
I will give you a private call sometime.
I'm afraid...
I was under the influence of alcohol that day.
Jin Ho, is there...
- It's my boss. - Go ahead.
Hello?
Ms. Lee.
This is the list of new items that you asked for.
Right, thanks.
What? Do you have something to say?
Could Sang Woo and Yu Ri take care...
of the backup needed for the trunk show?
I'll be in charge of a product fair...
following the trunk show.
Since when did you start choosing your assignments?
That's not the case.
Since it's a huge event that requires a big responsibility.
I want to give it my all.
I think Sang Woo and Yu Ri can back up...
You really want to get promoted, don't you?
The show has to be a success for us to have a product fair.
You're telling me to babysit...
two new recruits and prepare this all alone.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
Do both,
and if you can't, let someone else handle the product fair.
I'm sorry. That was my mistake.
I narrowed it down to 10 pages as you said.
Great work.
Do you want to try to make the leaflet for the event?
Me?
These are samples. Come up with a draft.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Assisting a project...
doesn't count as my performance.
I may not end up showing good performance...
because I'm busy assisting other people's projects.
I'm worried.
As you know, Ms. Na,
I have to get promoted this year.
I'll talk to Ms. Lee.
Thank you.
Mi Na.
Did Mr. Park ask you to do something else personally?
Something else? He didn't mention anything.
I thought I saw you...
in a separate meeting with him a few days ago.
No, there's nothing else.
Let's go back.
Goodness.
Are you okay? Wasn't it hot?
Yes, it's gone cold, so I'm fine.
Go wipe it off in the restroom.
Okay.
(010-206, Director Park Sung Jun)
(Director Park Sung Jun)
Thankfully, I didn't get much on my clothes.
You got a call.
Oh, thanks.
Please excuse me.
Yes, ma'am.
She's here!
She's here. It's our VIP, Ms. Cha Se Rin.
She suddenly came without calling. What should we do?
Should we ask her to leave today?
We haven't figured everything out yet.
Please take her to the meeting room for now.
Yes. My goodness.
I get the copyright.
So if you use the video for your promotion,
how are you going to compensate me for that?
We'll apply the market rate...
and ask our Legal Department to go over the contract.
Once we figure out everything, we'll send you the contract.
As I let you know before,
I get all the editing rights.
Even if the department store doesn't like the video,
I can't help you there.
Sure.
Here is the list of the products for this trunk show.
I thought you should take a look beforehand.
Are you sure you're okay with this?
- Pardon? - I'll be honest...
and say I don't like something if I don't.
Are you sure this will be all right?
This is a preliminary list,
and we're continuously updating the list.
Your target viewers are in their teens and 20s,
so we'll select casuals...
rather than formal outfits.
We'll also prepare what's in trend overseas,
like tie-dye shirts and biker shorts.
And why don't we match a steady seller like ugly shoes,
which has been popular in every season?
At least she has some sense.
Please make sure I can use up all the money that I prepare.
I don't want to spoil the fun in this huge event.
Yes, ma'am.
She is something.
I thought the meeting room was going to freeze up.
She owns a huge business at her age, so I'm sure she's not ordinary.
I heard Ms. Lee used to be the ace, and she really was.
I was quite amazed.
That young little brat...
- Ms. Kang. - Yes, sir.
There will be a huge negative impact if she turns down a product...
which we prepared.
Reanalyze her taste and come up with a new list.
Yes, I'll do that.
Ms. Lee, do help her out.
Yes.
This is so embarrassing.
Why didn't you tell me before?
She suddenly barged in.
How do you know which luxury products that teens like?
Is it because you were born rich?
Mr. Park was about to kill me.
I thought he would shoot out laser beams from his eyes.
It must be because the executives are concerned.
I knew this would be trouble.
I had a bad feeling about this.
Is this our unlucky year?
Ms. Lee.
How can this be?
People say a repeated coincidence is fate.
I was honestly surprised right now.
We ran into each other at work twice by coincidence.
The third time is a charm.
I guess you want to ignore me, so I'll just say it's two times.
I can always create our fate.
Ms. Lee, you are very bold.
Goodness. The doors are...
I made myself clear and said I don't gamble with low chances.
- You do remember. - If I said no,
you should have backed down.
If you flirt with me at work once more time,
I'll report you for sexual harassment.
If you don't want to be an embarrassment at work,
you need to...
behave yourself.
This is bad.
She's so charming.
I'm going to the meeting at the agency.
Call my cell if anything comes up.
Okay, sir.
Isn't the agency meeting tomorrow?
I have a meeting with Advertising. I'll be away for a while.
(No schedule)
I need to step out for a while.
What brings you here, Ms. Na?
I was on my way somewhere and I saw you.
It's my turn to pick up the kids,
so I hired someone to help.
She called me and said she can't today.
Why didn't you tell me?
I felt bad to tell you when we're so busy.
Sorry.
I envy you and Ms. Lee sometimes.
You always look so confident.
I'm sub-par both as a mom and a team member.
I want to be good at both and I do try.
Everything's a mess.
We have our own struggles.
Hello?
Honey.
I have a team dinner today.
So what?
I'm working late. You said you'd be home early.
Yes, but...
it's a department thing and I have to be there.
I must finish something by today too.
The helper leaves soon. Will you leave the kids alone?
Let me off just this once.
Okay, I'm coming.
Honey, I have to go.
You watch the kids today. Sorry.
Yes!
The phone is turned off. You're being directed to...
Seriously...
Mr. Park.
The agency said they'll incorporate your feedback...
and send another design tomorrow.
Okay.
I want to ask something.
You said that it's over...
and that it's someone I don't know.
Is there anything else I must know?
I'm asking if I must fall any further.
No.
It had better be.
Or I won't be able to forgive you.
Don't talk about it until you die.
Act like nothing happened.
I will as well.
I plan to try to forgive you.
I'm not sure if it'll be possible.
It will hurt to death.
I might feel tortured many times.
But I'll still try.
I'll trust you one last time.
Jung Sun.
Don't betray me ever again.
Have you been waiting for me?
Yes.
Have a seat.
Sure.
What's wrong? You're scaring me.
- Honey. - Yes?
I can't do this anymore.
What?
I'm leaving.
What?
Mi Na.
Mi Na, please open the door.
Mi Na.
Mi Na?
(Contacts)
(Director Park Sung Jun)
Mi Na.
Please open up.
Mi Na.
Mi Na?
(I've made up my mind...)
(VIP)
It's different this time.
- Something's broken. - Then part ways.
Once this is over, you'll be made an executive.
Be aware of anything that can hurt your image.
Can you track who sent a text to me?
- Is it what I think it is? - I must get her back.
I guess it's all about being qualified.
I crossed the line.
The computer that the text was sent from is...
What?
