What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018) s01e01 Episode Script
I Want to Pick Up My Life Now
1
Young-jun Lee, the Vice-chairman
of the great Yumyung Group.
He has doubled the profit of the company.
It's made him the number one young CEO.
He is handsome, fit,
and his suits are fantastic.
He has it all.
But the rumors are
he never lets girls touch him.
- I know.
- You gotta be kidding me.
The truth is, I've been seeing him lately.
He won't let me touch him though.
- Young-jun!
- Mr. Vice-chairman.
Why?
What?
What's wrong with Secretary Kim?
I've given you a monotone tie
for a smart and modern look.
- Not bad.
- Thank you.
Isn't it dazzling?
- You mean the sunshine?
- No.
It's glowing through me.
My aura!
Yes, it is dazzling.
Here's your schedule for today.
EXECUTIVE, JUNG-JAE KIM
- It's Executive Kim. Should I answer?
- No.
I'm sure it's about the contract failure
in Vietnam.
I don't want to be upset by a sinner
in the morning.
A sinner?
Sins are not only hurting people
or stealing,
but also incompetence
and ignorance of that incompetence.
- Secretary Kim, do you know?
- What?
How a person can be incompetent?
I don't.
Trying and achieving, it's simple.
Who can't do that?
Everybody is not like you.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
I've never seen a person
as perfect as you are.
Who is it?
This one is
a sinner who committed high treason.
What should I do?
We're here.
Vice-chairman.
It's a misunderstanding.
How dare you go to a massage parlor
during working hours?
I'm sorry.
You're an executive.
What about the company's reputation?
YUMYUNG EXECUTIVE
AT A MASSAGE PARLOR
- Secretary Kim.
- Yes, sir.
- Next appointment?
- A meeting for the new business.
No, you know smoking is not allowed
inside the building.
Mr. Vice-chairman. Vice-chairman?
Mr
Mr. Vice-chairman.
Executive Cho,
don't be too disappointed.
Failure of another project
and this bad news coincided.
Great expectations can lead to
great disappointments.
That's why he's so mad at you.
He made a lot of efforts to stop
the disclosure of our company name.
Secretary Kim.
What's wrong with me?
I was out of my mind.
Remember the lesson you learned this time
and do better in the future.
Why don't you call it a day
and take a rest?
Do you think so?
All right then.
I'll be better starting tomorrow.
Secretary Im.
I'm off work.
So he's going to keep his job?
Take care of Executive Cho's desk
and possessions immediately.
The Vice-chairman never gives
second chances.
The goal is to take over Global Airline,
currently number three in Korea,
and make it number one here and
a top ten global company in five years.
As soon as the announcement is public,
to accelerate the airline growth,
we plan to intensify orders from
the USA, India, and Vietnam.
According to the financial statement
in the business plan,
the current assets are 2.024 trillion won,
the current liabilities are
0.94 billion won,
so the current ratio is as much as 275%.
215.319149%.
Pardon?
If the current assets are 2.024 trillion,
and the current liabilities are
0.94 billion,
isn't the current ratio 215.319149%,
President Park?
Well
You're right.
How did this figure
Complete the acquisition.
Let's end the meeting.
- That was too scary.
- Isn't it too much?
My life span is getting short.
I'm scared to death.
Oh, Mr. Vice-chairman!
It's not him.
I agree with you though.
My God.
He doesn't like that talk
because the Vice-chairman is his friend.
- It's improved a lot.
- What?
Your English.
You had a hard time nine years ago
on our first visit to the US.
I did. All the credit goes to you.
I guess my advice and support
really helped you.
It was more the embarrassing comments
you gave me
on every mistake I made
with pronunciation and accent.
It was a big motivation.
Embarrassing comments, huh?
Then I won't spare any bit of them
if it brings such improvement.
- Thank you.
- But you know
- you just made a mistake, again.
- Yeah?
It's not "awk-cent," but accent!
I learned one more thing.
I'm sorry. It's because
I have to wear a dress today.
I haven't served you refreshments
with busy schedule. Are you okay?
I'm okay.
You know how I can focus on things.
I don't even feel any hunger
while working like this.
I'll prepare some.
He's the new Spanish ambassador.
Hello.
Congratulations on your appointment.
I heard a lot about Vice-chairman
Young-jun Lee even in Spain.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Pleased to meet you.
For the last four years, Yumyung Group
has been rated
number one in reputation
by the consumer report In Korea.
We've succeeded in making profit.
If we work with China,
who is a strong force in networking
We are planning various businesses.
He is so awesome and sweet, isn't he?
Yes, he is.
Look at his handsome nose.
- He's so glamorous.
- I made eye contact with him!
- He's coming to us.
- No way.
Obviously to me.
- What? He just passed us?
- Even me?
- He's looking at mirror.
- Ridiculous!
The ambassador is waiting.
- Secretary Kim.
- Yes?
How do I look?
You look perfect!
Let's go.
When did you learn Spanish?
Spanish?
You were talking
with those Spanish guys.
Oh, you mean that?
I couldn't afford the time for Spanish
since I barely learned English
and Chinese, thanks to you.
I just used tact.
- Just tact?
- Yes.
Handing over a glass of champagne
with eye contact means "excuse me."
Something said while looking at you means
a compliment, so I nodded and smiled.
You are right!
If he's hitting on me,
I touch my earring with my left hand.
Why is it your left one?
Showing the ring always fixes it.
This is the prize I won
in the last field day.
Impressive.
You gave me a compliment.
What a surprise.
- Congrats.
- Thank you.
You did a good job today.
Just name it, whatever you want.
A reward will make you work
even harder.
Mr. Vice-chairman.
Denying this has been denied.
No, I have something to say.
Don't confess your love.
It's just business relationship.
I won't.
- So, what is it?
- Well
you need to hire a new secretary.
I'd like to quit the job.
Why all of sudden?
It's for personal reasons.
Then, okay.
Why can't I go to sleep?
Don't be so dramatic.
I've got big news.
Big news? Yeah, right.
- I bet it's just a rumor.
- It's real this time.
Alrighty, gather up.
But only those who can handle it.
- Come on!
- I can't handle with it.
You know what?
Secretary Kim
- What's up with Secretary Kim?
- She
She's quitting.
What's this reaction?
You don't believe me?
We do not. She won't quit.
Vice-chairman especially favors her.
It doesn't make any sense.
It does.
I am quitting.
Seriously?
Are you really quitting?
- Yes, somehow.
- See? I was right.
But it's so sudden.
Why?
Getting married, a new job,
or studying abroad?
None of those.
Maybe it was the Vice-chairman's
outrageous behaviors?
- No.
- It's not.
Then why?
It's just a personal matter.
Mr. Vice-chairman is coming.
Hello, sir.
Young-ok!
I can't even imagine Vice-chairman
without Secretary Kim.
Doesn't feel real to me either.
- It's so sad.
- Right.
So, refreshments should be served
usually at this time.
Darjeeling tea in this cup
and three homemade cookies from H Hotel.
Yes
Why are you trying to remember it?
What do you think?
I should do it after she leaves.
- How come?
- Look at her,
Mr. Vice-chairman cares a lot about
his secretary's appearance.
When she leaves,
I'm the only one who can replace that.
I'm jealous of you, Young-ok.
If only I looked ordinary like you.
He gets to work at 7:00 a.m.,
so I should be here by 6:30 a.m.
When will I get my beauty sleep?
What should I do?
Oh, hi.
Hi.
VICE-CHAIRMAN, YOUNG-JUN LEE
New chair, right?
- Impressive!
- I know what you're thinking too.
You don't really mean to quit your job,
do you?
You're wrong this time.
What is your reason?
Because of working late and weekends?
I'll post a job opening in the morning.
We'll sort it out and you only need to be
at the final interview.
Do whatever you want.
QUALIFICATIONS
AND APPLICATION PROCESS
Posted!
Mr. Vice-chairman,
do you need something?
I'm going to President Park's office,
so put off the conference meeting.
- Yes, sir.
- Oh, right.
I'm having dinner at my parents',
so you should make your own plans.
Yes, sir.
Secretary Kim.
You haven't had lunch. right?
Please join me.
I'm sorry, but I need to go out
for an appointment.
Skipping lunch?
Come on, have some.
Sorry, maybe next time.
What was that? I was expecting
the handover of duties over lunch.
I am as busy as you are!
Gosh.
What's the reason?
What?
The real reason for her
sudden resignation.
You mean your secretary.
There was nothing
I couldn't figure out so far,
but I have no idea this time.
I'm so puzzled that
I almost feel dizzy.
Are you?
PRESIDENT, YU-SICK PARK
When you feel like having sweets,
the red ginseng jelly is the best.
Try one.
You're offering me a total sugary snack
containing only 0.03% of ginseng.
No, thanks.
Just tell me why Secretary Kim
wants to quit her job.
You don't really know?
She's endured nine years working for you.
This kind of woman is called Bodhisattva
in the East, a saint in the West.
What did I say?
Nine years. Nine
Nine that's what it is!
Finally, it's the time.
Three, six, and nine
is when it happens.
Three, six, nine?
The rough patch.
You know,
I fell in love with my wife
enough to get married
only one month after we met each other.
Sure, I even know that for your
tenth anniversary you got a divorce.
That wasn't nice.
At first, we were so
passionate.
However, what she said
on the third anniversary was
I love you, darling.
I have no idea why I fell in love
with a guy like you.
On the sixth anniversary
Waiter!
Sorry, I just can't help but hitting
the back of head when I look at it.
On the ninth anniversary
Don't even breathe the air.
you don't deserve it!
You are not
crying, are you?
- Can I?
- No.
When I look back
every three years, we had a crisis.
It was like
like a bruised apple.
A bruised apple?
Here.
You can eat it after cutting out
the bruised part, but it's bothersome.
So you eat a good apple first.
What happens when you
stick it with good ones?
The good ones also get bruised--
and they all rot.
That's--
What are you talking about?
Before the bruise rots everything,
talk to her and find the breakthrough.
The breakthrough
Easy.
Come see me if you need more advice
on a breakthrough.
You couldn't find one
and got divorced.
You're right.
- My last repayment for the loan, right?
- Yes
Your name is "Secretary Kim"?
No, no.
I'm Mi-so Kim.
NAME: SECRETARY KIM
NAME: MI-SO KIM
Here you go.
Mr. Vice-chairman.
Right now?
With me?
- To his parents', please.
- Okay.
You were going alone.
Why did you call me all of a sudden?
The breakthrough
What?
I don't give second chances.
I know.
But I'll give you one more chance
as a favor.
- Huh?
- It's the one and only chance.
- I'll promote you to an executive.
- No, I mean
I'll arrange an assistant and a driver
if the work is too much.
I am willing to buy you
a house if require it.
Did you pay off your debt?
I'll also sort it out.
Then
you can focus on just work.
- Mr. Vice-chairman--
- I bet
you would never get these benefits
from any other company.
And you'd never work
for the most perfect boss in the world.
I won't think you shallow
if you quickly accept it.
- Say yes and stay.
- I--
Young-jun!
Secretary Kim! You're here as well.
- How are you?
- Come here, my little boy.
- Let's go inside.
- Go ahead.
I told you to come more often.
We're in the same building
and hardly see each other.
- I was busy with Executive Cho.
- He's a very capable person,
- you shouldn't have fired--
- The reputation can go bad in a second.
I'll handle it as you trust me to.
Sure, sure, you're doing great.
Please, honey. He'll take care of it.
She's right. I was careless.
I apologize.
Have you two ever had it?
The seven-year itch.
Seven-year itch?
There is no such a thing
if you just talk it out.
And there is no one like him.
Let's enjoy the dinner!
- Secretary Kim, help yourself.
- Yes.
He looks so handsome lately.
Don't you think so?
Don't mention it.
I owe it all to you.
That's why I respect you very much.
The bio-industry project
has been approved by FDA
and we're working on acquiring
Global Airlines.
Father.
There must be something you want to say
as you coughed for no reason.
- You'll never get married?
- No.
Oh, no. I'm dying.
- Are you okay?
- Do I look okay to you?
I'm not sure how long I'll live
The results of your medical exams
show you are very healthy.
They know nothing!
I'm the one who knows my body.
Before I die, as your father
if only I could have a grandchild!
I
I have no expectations
of my future daughter-in-law.
I heard Secretary Kim is leaving!
It won't happen.
I won't let it happen.
Today
the weather is very nice.
You know, Young-jun
I've heard that he takes some girls out.
But he can't carry on a relationship
and he's not serious about it.
It's just doing it to keep up appearances,
as they say.
Is it right?
Yes, I guess
People say that he never allows
girls to touch him.
Is that right?
It is.
Then
my Young-jun is
He's definitely
ga
ga..
he's ga
ga
He's
Gay?
No, he's not.
Are you sure?
Sure, I know him better than anyone,
I've been with him for a long time.
I'm so relieved.
To be honest,
my husband and I couldn't talk about this,
but we were concerned.
He's very wary of women other than you.
- I just wondered if the rumor was true.
- I understand.
You know
I'm curious
What do women think of him?
That he's got it all--
ability, charm, and personality--
He's perfect in all ways.
I know!
You have a good eye for people.
If a woman
could marry him, it would be so great.
A girl such as you?
I'm just kidding.
I'll force him to get married
if there is a girl like you.
I'm kidding.
We should get going.
Yes, sir.
Good bye, ma'am.
Did my mother make you feel uncomfortable?
Yes, sort of.
Somehow, it seems that
she wanted to set you up with me.
So?
Was that idea exciting?
No.
It made me more determined to quit
to avoid an such misunderstandings.
What?
We already agreed on it.
I made you an exceptional offer.
You know it.
Yes.
I know your offer is very generous, but
I'm still leaving.
I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind.
Enough! I will not lose.
Let me do it!
It's a habit from work. I'm kind of
obsessed with doing it all by myself.
Hey, let's eat some.
Help yourself.
You look tired, my sisters.
Is it too hard at the hospital?
Mi-so, stop worrying about us.
I'm the big sister who was ambitious
and didn't take care of
my sisters.
It made you work too hard.
Don't say that!
You also paid the debt with your job.
We did it together.
And you didn't cause any trouble
like our father.
Trouble?
Again?
Early in the year, I found out he owed
a loan shark money.
About thirty million won
Thirty million?
You should've told us!
Then you would've worried.
So, what happened?
I sold my car to pay it off.
You had a car?
Mr. Vice-chairman bought one for me
when I missed the bus and was late.
I sold it after about a week.
But now I paid off all debt
and I just feel so free.
Your laughing face is very annoying.
It's just a bit funny.
I don't get it.
It's not funny anymore.
With all those years we spent together
how can she be so casual?
You kept saying that
it was just a business relationship.
What's the real reason?
Why do you really think
she turned down such an offer?
Think harder.
There must be something
about the day of her resignation.
On that day
My aura!
Accent!
I want to quit my job.
Young-jun!
Ji-ran Oh?
Oh, my God!
I told you to take an allergy pill.
You're the only one who's allergic
to pollen among us.
Thank you, big sis.
My hard work supporting you
through school is paying off.
We're very sorry
Oh, my gosh! No!
Sorry, it was burning.
Why were you around flowers anyway?
Did Vice-chairman ask?
Young-jun!
What brings you here?
I was invited as a celebrity.
I checked the invitation list
and you were there.
So I didn't tell you I was coming
as a surprise!
You should've come with you.
Maybe you thought I was busy?
By the way
Do you notice anything different?
The necklace looks good on you.
It's the gift from you!
And
doesn't it seem like a special day today?
It's my birthday!
Ji-ran wants nothing but
just flowers.
Hello.
Flowers, please.
- Which one?
- Just some flowers, a big bouquet.
Thank you. You're the best!
So beautiful.
She cried?
I thought I was mistaken, but no.
Her eyes were
filled with tears.
Her eyes were moisturizing,
which means
"Do I have to deliver flowers
to a girl for you?
Shit, it's too much! I quit!"
Probably.
No, you're wrong.
Now I get why she wanted to quit.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Why didn't I see it?
Young-jun, you little boy.
Young-jun, you little boy.
So what is it?
The personal reason,
the secret in her eyes
Secretary Kim
Secretary Kim
She
is in love with me.
Love? Bullshit!
Why? I mean, he bought you
a bunch of clothes and shoes.
Isn't that too much of payment to keep up
a certain standard of appearance?
He's in love with you, believe me!
Never!
Such a narcissist never falls in love
with others.
He's never been in love with a girl.
Not once!
- It can't be true.
- I'm telling you!
Impossible. At his age?
Well, there is Mi-so.
Shut up.
- Have some.
- Help yourself.
I've been very cautious
to prevent such a situation.
Very thoughtful.
With my qualifications,
it must be difficult
to avoid a crush on me over nine years.
She's not a robot.
Don't be so sure.
I can't believe it.
Our relationship is strictly business.
I knew it.
She is in love with me.
It's not even worth talking about.
We're not that kind of relationship.
He's just my boss.
And
I'm quitting my job.
- Quitting?
- All of sudden?
He picked on you again?
I can't stand it any more.
No, he didn't.
You girls are now settled, so is Dad.
All the debt is paid off.
So, I'm quitting.
What's your plan?
I'm not sure.
It's a great workplace with high benefits,
considering my age and qualifications,
but it's keeping me too busy.
I feel like it's now or never
for me to leave this job--
MR. VICE-CHAIRMAN
It's him, right?
Don't answer it.
Don't answer it, please.
Please!
Mr. Vice-chairman.
You know where I'm at.
Come here.
I'm busy right now.
For just once, ask Secretary Yang
or I can call a driver--
How do I trust them?
He's asking you to come now?
Let me talk to him.
Please!
Call Ji-ran and
spend just one night together--
Come here at once!
Sir?
Hello?
He wants you to come to give him a ride?
No one cares
if he sleeps out or not for a night.
He's so obsessed with coming home though.
Tell me about it.
I'm so happy that
you're quitting this terrible job.
Where's the spare key
Oh my God!
Mi-so, let me do it.
Kill it, hurry!
You're so dead now.
Mi-so, are you okay?
Are you still afraid of spiders?
Sis.
Are you sure that I have never been lost?
When I was four or five years old?
I've told you it never happened!
Can't believe she loved me so much.
She must've been so upset
delivering flowers to another girl.
Secretary Kim,
I'll break up with Ji-ran.
Young-jun, you are so sharp!
What is he doing?
Is he talking to himself?
Mr. Vice-chairman, here I am.
Crying again? You're embarrassing me.
Are you that happy?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Throw it away.
I'm really sorry.
I'll put the flowers in the trunk.
She is so moved.
What can I do?
I'm sorry.
Who were you with?
I can't tell you.
I'll break up with Ji-ran soon. Okay?
- Seeing someone new?
- Nobody for a while, okay?
Why do you keep asking me "okay?"
- I never slept with her, okay?
- What?
I never slept with Ji-ran.
You know that was only
a relationship for the business.
Yes, I do know.
I can see how upset you've been.
I'll give you a day off tomorrow.
Take a rest and think about it.
Do you mean it?
Oh, but tomorrow we have
the job interview for my replacement.
Just drop by for it.
Okay, thank you!
Have you decided
where to work next?
Not yet.
Will you stay in Seoul?
I'm not sure.
Are you simply leaving without any plan?
It's just to live my own life.
What are you talking about?
Not a secretary's
or a breadwinner's life
but just my own life.
So the time with me
was not her life?
A pimple!
How dare you besmirch my noble forehead!
It's been a long time
since I slept in like this.
Oh, it feels so good!
Time to get up.
DAILY LOG FOR YOUNG-JUN LEE
MI-SO KIM
I overslept too much.
For this contract-- Hey.
Good morning!
Good morning, sir.
I need a change of pace.
RESIGNATION LETTER
MI-SO KIM
Going to work when the sun is out!
So nice.
Hello?
Hey, are you free this evening?
It's me! Secretary Kim
I mean, Mi-so Kim.
You didn't delete my number, did you?
Are you kidding?
You said it's a sugary snack
with 0.03% of ginseng.
It doesn't make any sense
that she wants to live her own life.
The standard working hours are
eight hours a day.
That's 18,000 hours for nine years.
She worked 18 hours a day
without any day off for nine years
and it comes up to 59,130.
That many hours is more time
than a married couple spend together.
How can it mean nothing to her?
She said it was meaningless?
Too bad.
She loved me too much and got hurt.
Even if she's great at her job
and you are attached to her,
you care too much.
- Do you love her?
- Are you out of your mind?
Then what's all this fuss about?
You never let any girls touch you,
except Secretary Kim.
There are more than enough girls
around you.
I've never seen you touch a girl.
Do you suffer from
a sort of women trauma?
I just don't like girls.
- And Secretary Kim?
- Not her.
- She's also a girl.
- She's just
Secretary Kim.
All right, catch you later.
What is he talking about?
Here's the weekly report.
- No, let me warm it for you.
- It's fine.
Ginseng works better when it's warm.
- It's fine. I'll just drink it.
- It has to be warm, give it to--
Oops, I'm really sorry!
I just wanted to warm it up for you
The drink is still cold,
but I am very hot under the collar.
You've never thought of quitting this job,
have you?
No, I'll always stand by your side!
Always?
- You may leave.
- Yes, sir.
TO-DO LIS
PREPARING FOR MEETING, ETC.
You know the guidelines?
HANDOVER OF DUTIES
Talk less and act more.
I made it even though
I had no experience or qualifications.
COOL HEADS! WARM HEARTS!
You'll do well.
And the last thing
I want to tell you is
the reason why I'm leaving.
This is more important than anything
and it is
Mr. Vice-chairman.
You don't look so good. Are you okay?
I didn't sleep well.
You look good.
I slept very well, thanks to you.
Oh, no. You have a pimple?
- I'll call in Dr. Yun.
- No, thanks.
I'll get sleeping pills from Dr. Jung.
Are you
worried about me?
What?
Of course, I am.
As Secretary Kim or as Mi-so Kim?
What are you saying
Mr. Vice-chairman.
The interviewee just arrived.
Are you ready?
Show her in.
You need to join us
as it's for your replacement.
Yes.
Here are some interview questions.
Kim Ji-ah, who are you going to be
when you become my secretary?
Secretary Kim or Kim Ji-ah?
Of course, it would be
Secretary Kim Ji-ah.
Because I'm both.
- Ask a question, please.
- Yes.
Can you tell me what virtues
a secretary should have?
I'd care for a boss
as I'd for a child--
What if you work for a 100% perfect boss?
Then I would be so excited.
Would you be able to meet
his demands 100%?
- Would that boss ever be satisfied?
- That'll be difficult.
Are you responsible enough
to not quit the job
with a lame excuse
such as "personal reasons"?
Yes, I'll work here until the day I die.
What if you really work yourself to death?
What? Is it that hard?
The compensation is the best in Korea.
It pays, but Ji-ah Kim wouldn't exist.
You'll only be Secretary Kim.
All those years of working
do not exist as a part of your life?
I'll do my best if you choose me!
- You are in!
- Are you serious?
- Mr. Park.
- Yes, sir.
Give her a tour.
She's the new Secretary Kim.
Make her your clone
and then leave the company.
I will.
Thank you!
Wait.
The "to live my own life" thing
what exactly do you mean?
I was too busy with work
and I want to have my own time.
- And
- And?
And
I'm 29 years old now.
I should meet someone
and think about getting married.
What?
What a surprise!
Secretary Kim is here.
Sorry, I'll be here every week now
that I have enough time.
I saw you in the news.
You stood right next to the Vice-chairman.
You looked amazing.
Mi-so was the best student among us
and she worked very hard.
Such a career woman!
I'm so jealous. I'm just a mom.
It's just so hard.
But you're a stay-at-home mom.
I'm so busy as a working mom.
- Mi-so, don't get married.
- Why?
- Never ever!
- Why?
- Said by married women!
- I know!
Sorry, sorry.
What the heck?
Men's handkerchief, a tie, and a lighter.
- Whose bag is this?
- It's mine.
Just in case
Vice-chairman needs one.
This is how the career woman lives.
Yay! There's the bus!
Be careful.
He's so cute.
Your name is "Secretary Kim"?
No, no.
I'm Mi-so Kim.
NAME: SECRETARY KIM
NAME: MI-SO KIM
Here you go.
DAILY LOG FOR YOUNG-JUN LEE
HANDOVER OF DUTIES
This is more important than anything
and it is
to make sure that
you have time of your own.
Best regards, Mi-so Kim.
It's done.
A life of her own.
Life, love, and marriage.
She has quite the nerve
to say those things to me.
Who?
- What do you think of me?
- Huh?
What do you think of me?
Come on, it's too obvious.
You're a perfect guy.
Capable, handsome, tall,
and good manners.
Moreover
sexy!
Then what's wrong with her?
What?
What about her?
Don't talk about other girls!
MI-SO KIM
DEAR BROTHER
Who is it?
Oh, my gosh!
What brings you here at this hour?
Anyway, come on in!
Don't give me an order.
I'll talk outside.
Oh okay then.
All that love and marriage stuff.
Did you mean it?
You came all the way here
to ask such things this late at night?
Why? Are you secretly seeing
someone that I don't know about?
Mr. Vice-chairman.
- Are you upset?
- No.
Why would I get upset
if you're seeing someone?
- Yeah.
- Just answer my question.
I'm not seeing anyone.
Of course not.
- What?
- What?
No reason to keep it secret,
and I couldn't afford the time.
I go to work at 6:00 a.m.
and don't come home at a set time.
And whenever you call me,
I get up and run out of bed.
So what?
That's not very persuasive.
If I don't quit
and continue to work for you,
I'm going to grow old and single.
That's the reason? How lame.
"How lame"?
If you fire me in my old age,
who can I rely on?
All right, I guarantee you
a lifetime position.
Don't even say it.
You're telling me to work for you
and grow old and lonely.
So
for the purpose of getting married,
you must quit your job?
Yes.
You're that desperate to get married, huh?
Yes.
Well, stay at the company.
I, Young-jun Lee,
will allow you to marry me.
I'm dating now.
Is it worth this business deal
to date Secretary Kim?
Write down places you want to go
with someone you have a crush on.
- Pork ribs?
- Good!
The alcohol importation team
isn't doing great.
Don't talk about work at the dinner table.
Secretary Kim, this karaoke thing
Why don't you just leave?
Okay, I got it.
Stop talking so much.
I was just answering your questions.
You're talking back to me again.
- Secretary Kim!
- Yes.
A romantic day like today
will be your daily life in the future.
Young-jun Lee, the Vice-chairman
of the great Yumyung Group.
He has doubled the profit of the company.
It's made him the number one young CEO.
He is handsome, fit,
and his suits are fantastic.
He has it all.
But the rumors are
he never lets girls touch him.
- I know.
- You gotta be kidding me.
The truth is, I've been seeing him lately.
He won't let me touch him though.
- Young-jun!
- Mr. Vice-chairman.
Why?
What?
What's wrong with Secretary Kim?
I've given you a monotone tie
for a smart and modern look.
- Not bad.
- Thank you.
Isn't it dazzling?
- You mean the sunshine?
- No.
It's glowing through me.
My aura!
Yes, it is dazzling.
Here's your schedule for today.
EXECUTIVE, JUNG-JAE KIM
- It's Executive Kim. Should I answer?
- No.
I'm sure it's about the contract failure
in Vietnam.
I don't want to be upset by a sinner
in the morning.
A sinner?
Sins are not only hurting people
or stealing,
but also incompetence
and ignorance of that incompetence.
- Secretary Kim, do you know?
- What?
How a person can be incompetent?
I don't.
Trying and achieving, it's simple.
Who can't do that?
Everybody is not like you.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
I've never seen a person
as perfect as you are.
Who is it?
This one is
a sinner who committed high treason.
What should I do?
We're here.
Vice-chairman.
It's a misunderstanding.
How dare you go to a massage parlor
during working hours?
I'm sorry.
You're an executive.
What about the company's reputation?
YUMYUNG EXECUTIVE
AT A MASSAGE PARLOR
- Secretary Kim.
- Yes, sir.
- Next appointment?
- A meeting for the new business.
No, you know smoking is not allowed
inside the building.
Mr. Vice-chairman. Vice-chairman?
Mr
Mr. Vice-chairman.
Executive Cho,
don't be too disappointed.
Failure of another project
and this bad news coincided.
Great expectations can lead to
great disappointments.
That's why he's so mad at you.
He made a lot of efforts to stop
the disclosure of our company name.
Secretary Kim.
What's wrong with me?
I was out of my mind.
Remember the lesson you learned this time
and do better in the future.
Why don't you call it a day
and take a rest?
Do you think so?
All right then.
I'll be better starting tomorrow.
Secretary Im.
I'm off work.
So he's going to keep his job?
Take care of Executive Cho's desk
and possessions immediately.
The Vice-chairman never gives
second chances.
The goal is to take over Global Airline,
currently number three in Korea,
and make it number one here and
a top ten global company in five years.
As soon as the announcement is public,
to accelerate the airline growth,
we plan to intensify orders from
the USA, India, and Vietnam.
According to the financial statement
in the business plan,
the current assets are 2.024 trillion won,
the current liabilities are
0.94 billion won,
so the current ratio is as much as 275%.
215.319149%.
Pardon?
If the current assets are 2.024 trillion,
and the current liabilities are
0.94 billion,
isn't the current ratio 215.319149%,
President Park?
Well
You're right.
How did this figure
Complete the acquisition.
Let's end the meeting.
- That was too scary.
- Isn't it too much?
My life span is getting short.
I'm scared to death.
Oh, Mr. Vice-chairman!
It's not him.
I agree with you though.
My God.
He doesn't like that talk
because the Vice-chairman is his friend.
- It's improved a lot.
- What?
Your English.
You had a hard time nine years ago
on our first visit to the US.
I did. All the credit goes to you.
I guess my advice and support
really helped you.
It was more the embarrassing comments
you gave me
on every mistake I made
with pronunciation and accent.
It was a big motivation.
Embarrassing comments, huh?
Then I won't spare any bit of them
if it brings such improvement.
- Thank you.
- But you know
- you just made a mistake, again.
- Yeah?
It's not "awk-cent," but accent!
I learned one more thing.
I'm sorry. It's because
I have to wear a dress today.
I haven't served you refreshments
with busy schedule. Are you okay?
I'm okay.
You know how I can focus on things.
I don't even feel any hunger
while working like this.
I'll prepare some.
He's the new Spanish ambassador.
Hello.
Congratulations on your appointment.
I heard a lot about Vice-chairman
Young-jun Lee even in Spain.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Pleased to meet you.
For the last four years, Yumyung Group
has been rated
number one in reputation
by the consumer report In Korea.
We've succeeded in making profit.
If we work with China,
who is a strong force in networking
We are planning various businesses.
He is so awesome and sweet, isn't he?
Yes, he is.
Look at his handsome nose.
- He's so glamorous.
- I made eye contact with him!
- He's coming to us.
- No way.
Obviously to me.
- What? He just passed us?
- Even me?
- He's looking at mirror.
- Ridiculous!
The ambassador is waiting.
- Secretary Kim.
- Yes?
How do I look?
You look perfect!
Let's go.
When did you learn Spanish?
Spanish?
You were talking
with those Spanish guys.
Oh, you mean that?
I couldn't afford the time for Spanish
since I barely learned English
and Chinese, thanks to you.
I just used tact.
- Just tact?
- Yes.
Handing over a glass of champagne
with eye contact means "excuse me."
Something said while looking at you means
a compliment, so I nodded and smiled.
You are right!
If he's hitting on me,
I touch my earring with my left hand.
Why is it your left one?
Showing the ring always fixes it.
This is the prize I won
in the last field day.
Impressive.
You gave me a compliment.
What a surprise.
- Congrats.
- Thank you.
You did a good job today.
Just name it, whatever you want.
A reward will make you work
even harder.
Mr. Vice-chairman.
Denying this has been denied.
No, I have something to say.
Don't confess your love.
It's just business relationship.
I won't.
- So, what is it?
- Well
you need to hire a new secretary.
I'd like to quit the job.
Why all of sudden?
It's for personal reasons.
Then, okay.
Why can't I go to sleep?
Don't be so dramatic.
I've got big news.
Big news? Yeah, right.
- I bet it's just a rumor.
- It's real this time.
Alrighty, gather up.
But only those who can handle it.
- Come on!
- I can't handle with it.
You know what?
Secretary Kim
- What's up with Secretary Kim?
- She
She's quitting.
What's this reaction?
You don't believe me?
We do not. She won't quit.
Vice-chairman especially favors her.
It doesn't make any sense.
It does.
I am quitting.
Seriously?
Are you really quitting?
- Yes, somehow.
- See? I was right.
But it's so sudden.
Why?
Getting married, a new job,
or studying abroad?
None of those.
Maybe it was the Vice-chairman's
outrageous behaviors?
- No.
- It's not.
Then why?
It's just a personal matter.
Mr. Vice-chairman is coming.
Hello, sir.
Young-ok!
I can't even imagine Vice-chairman
without Secretary Kim.
Doesn't feel real to me either.
- It's so sad.
- Right.
So, refreshments should be served
usually at this time.
Darjeeling tea in this cup
and three homemade cookies from H Hotel.
Yes
Why are you trying to remember it?
What do you think?
I should do it after she leaves.
- How come?
- Look at her,
Mr. Vice-chairman cares a lot about
his secretary's appearance.
When she leaves,
I'm the only one who can replace that.
I'm jealous of you, Young-ok.
If only I looked ordinary like you.
He gets to work at 7:00 a.m.,
so I should be here by 6:30 a.m.
When will I get my beauty sleep?
What should I do?
Oh, hi.
Hi.
VICE-CHAIRMAN, YOUNG-JUN LEE
New chair, right?
- Impressive!
- I know what you're thinking too.
You don't really mean to quit your job,
do you?
You're wrong this time.
What is your reason?
Because of working late and weekends?
I'll post a job opening in the morning.
We'll sort it out and you only need to be
at the final interview.
Do whatever you want.
QUALIFICATIONS
AND APPLICATION PROCESS
Posted!
Mr. Vice-chairman,
do you need something?
I'm going to President Park's office,
so put off the conference meeting.
- Yes, sir.
- Oh, right.
I'm having dinner at my parents',
so you should make your own plans.
Yes, sir.
Secretary Kim.
You haven't had lunch. right?
Please join me.
I'm sorry, but I need to go out
for an appointment.
Skipping lunch?
Come on, have some.
Sorry, maybe next time.
What was that? I was expecting
the handover of duties over lunch.
I am as busy as you are!
Gosh.
What's the reason?
What?
The real reason for her
sudden resignation.
You mean your secretary.
There was nothing
I couldn't figure out so far,
but I have no idea this time.
I'm so puzzled that
I almost feel dizzy.
Are you?
PRESIDENT, YU-SICK PARK
When you feel like having sweets,
the red ginseng jelly is the best.
Try one.
You're offering me a total sugary snack
containing only 0.03% of ginseng.
No, thanks.
Just tell me why Secretary Kim
wants to quit her job.
You don't really know?
She's endured nine years working for you.
This kind of woman is called Bodhisattva
in the East, a saint in the West.
What did I say?
Nine years. Nine
Nine that's what it is!
Finally, it's the time.
Three, six, and nine
is when it happens.
Three, six, nine?
The rough patch.
You know,
I fell in love with my wife
enough to get married
only one month after we met each other.
Sure, I even know that for your
tenth anniversary you got a divorce.
That wasn't nice.
At first, we were so
passionate.
However, what she said
on the third anniversary was
I love you, darling.
I have no idea why I fell in love
with a guy like you.
On the sixth anniversary
Waiter!
Sorry, I just can't help but hitting
the back of head when I look at it.
On the ninth anniversary
Don't even breathe the air.
you don't deserve it!
You are not
crying, are you?
- Can I?
- No.
When I look back
every three years, we had a crisis.
It was like
like a bruised apple.
A bruised apple?
Here.
You can eat it after cutting out
the bruised part, but it's bothersome.
So you eat a good apple first.
What happens when you
stick it with good ones?
The good ones also get bruised--
and they all rot.
That's--
What are you talking about?
Before the bruise rots everything,
talk to her and find the breakthrough.
The breakthrough
Easy.
Come see me if you need more advice
on a breakthrough.
You couldn't find one
and got divorced.
You're right.
- My last repayment for the loan, right?
- Yes
Your name is "Secretary Kim"?
No, no.
I'm Mi-so Kim.
NAME: SECRETARY KIM
NAME: MI-SO KIM
Here you go.
Mr. Vice-chairman.
Right now?
With me?
- To his parents', please.
- Okay.
You were going alone.
Why did you call me all of a sudden?
The breakthrough
What?
I don't give second chances.
I know.
But I'll give you one more chance
as a favor.
- Huh?
- It's the one and only chance.
- I'll promote you to an executive.
- No, I mean
I'll arrange an assistant and a driver
if the work is too much.
I am willing to buy you
a house if require it.
Did you pay off your debt?
I'll also sort it out.
Then
you can focus on just work.
- Mr. Vice-chairman--
- I bet
you would never get these benefits
from any other company.
And you'd never work
for the most perfect boss in the world.
I won't think you shallow
if you quickly accept it.
- Say yes and stay.
- I--
Young-jun!
Secretary Kim! You're here as well.
- How are you?
- Come here, my little boy.
- Let's go inside.
- Go ahead.
I told you to come more often.
We're in the same building
and hardly see each other.
- I was busy with Executive Cho.
- He's a very capable person,
- you shouldn't have fired--
- The reputation can go bad in a second.
I'll handle it as you trust me to.
Sure, sure, you're doing great.
Please, honey. He'll take care of it.
She's right. I was careless.
I apologize.
Have you two ever had it?
The seven-year itch.
Seven-year itch?
There is no such a thing
if you just talk it out.
And there is no one like him.
Let's enjoy the dinner!
- Secretary Kim, help yourself.
- Yes.
He looks so handsome lately.
Don't you think so?
Don't mention it.
I owe it all to you.
That's why I respect you very much.
The bio-industry project
has been approved by FDA
and we're working on acquiring
Global Airlines.
Father.
There must be something you want to say
as you coughed for no reason.
- You'll never get married?
- No.
Oh, no. I'm dying.
- Are you okay?
- Do I look okay to you?
I'm not sure how long I'll live
The results of your medical exams
show you are very healthy.
They know nothing!
I'm the one who knows my body.
Before I die, as your father
if only I could have a grandchild!
I
I have no expectations
of my future daughter-in-law.
I heard Secretary Kim is leaving!
It won't happen.
I won't let it happen.
Today
the weather is very nice.
You know, Young-jun
I've heard that he takes some girls out.
But he can't carry on a relationship
and he's not serious about it.
It's just doing it to keep up appearances,
as they say.
Is it right?
Yes, I guess
People say that he never allows
girls to touch him.
Is that right?
It is.
Then
my Young-jun is
He's definitely
ga
ga..
he's ga
ga
He's
Gay?
No, he's not.
Are you sure?
Sure, I know him better than anyone,
I've been with him for a long time.
I'm so relieved.
To be honest,
my husband and I couldn't talk about this,
but we were concerned.
He's very wary of women other than you.
- I just wondered if the rumor was true.
- I understand.
You know
I'm curious
What do women think of him?
That he's got it all--
ability, charm, and personality--
He's perfect in all ways.
I know!
You have a good eye for people.
If a woman
could marry him, it would be so great.
A girl such as you?
I'm just kidding.
I'll force him to get married
if there is a girl like you.
I'm kidding.
We should get going.
Yes, sir.
Good bye, ma'am.
Did my mother make you feel uncomfortable?
Yes, sort of.
Somehow, it seems that
she wanted to set you up with me.
So?
Was that idea exciting?
No.
It made me more determined to quit
to avoid an such misunderstandings.
What?
We already agreed on it.
I made you an exceptional offer.
You know it.
Yes.
I know your offer is very generous, but
I'm still leaving.
I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind.
Enough! I will not lose.
Let me do it!
It's a habit from work. I'm kind of
obsessed with doing it all by myself.
Hey, let's eat some.
Help yourself.
You look tired, my sisters.
Is it too hard at the hospital?
Mi-so, stop worrying about us.
I'm the big sister who was ambitious
and didn't take care of
my sisters.
It made you work too hard.
Don't say that!
You also paid the debt with your job.
We did it together.
And you didn't cause any trouble
like our father.
Trouble?
Again?
Early in the year, I found out he owed
a loan shark money.
About thirty million won
Thirty million?
You should've told us!
Then you would've worried.
So, what happened?
I sold my car to pay it off.
You had a car?
Mr. Vice-chairman bought one for me
when I missed the bus and was late.
I sold it after about a week.
But now I paid off all debt
and I just feel so free.
Your laughing face is very annoying.
It's just a bit funny.
I don't get it.
It's not funny anymore.
With all those years we spent together
how can she be so casual?
You kept saying that
it was just a business relationship.
What's the real reason?
Why do you really think
she turned down such an offer?
Think harder.
There must be something
about the day of her resignation.
On that day
My aura!
Accent!
I want to quit my job.
Young-jun!
Ji-ran Oh?
Oh, my God!
I told you to take an allergy pill.
You're the only one who's allergic
to pollen among us.
Thank you, big sis.
My hard work supporting you
through school is paying off.
We're very sorry
Oh, my gosh! No!
Sorry, it was burning.
Why were you around flowers anyway?
Did Vice-chairman ask?
Young-jun!
What brings you here?
I was invited as a celebrity.
I checked the invitation list
and you were there.
So I didn't tell you I was coming
as a surprise!
You should've come with you.
Maybe you thought I was busy?
By the way
Do you notice anything different?
The necklace looks good on you.
It's the gift from you!
And
doesn't it seem like a special day today?
It's my birthday!
Ji-ran wants nothing but
just flowers.
Hello.
Flowers, please.
- Which one?
- Just some flowers, a big bouquet.
Thank you. You're the best!
So beautiful.
She cried?
I thought I was mistaken, but no.
Her eyes were
filled with tears.
Her eyes were moisturizing,
which means
"Do I have to deliver flowers
to a girl for you?
Shit, it's too much! I quit!"
Probably.
No, you're wrong.
Now I get why she wanted to quit.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Why didn't I see it?
Young-jun, you little boy.
Young-jun, you little boy.
So what is it?
The personal reason,
the secret in her eyes
Secretary Kim
Secretary Kim
She
is in love with me.
Love? Bullshit!
Why? I mean, he bought you
a bunch of clothes and shoes.
Isn't that too much of payment to keep up
a certain standard of appearance?
He's in love with you, believe me!
Never!
Such a narcissist never falls in love
with others.
He's never been in love with a girl.
Not once!
- It can't be true.
- I'm telling you!
Impossible. At his age?
Well, there is Mi-so.
Shut up.
- Have some.
- Help yourself.
I've been very cautious
to prevent such a situation.
Very thoughtful.
With my qualifications,
it must be difficult
to avoid a crush on me over nine years.
She's not a robot.
Don't be so sure.
I can't believe it.
Our relationship is strictly business.
I knew it.
She is in love with me.
It's not even worth talking about.
We're not that kind of relationship.
He's just my boss.
And
I'm quitting my job.
- Quitting?
- All of sudden?
He picked on you again?
I can't stand it any more.
No, he didn't.
You girls are now settled, so is Dad.
All the debt is paid off.
So, I'm quitting.
What's your plan?
I'm not sure.
It's a great workplace with high benefits,
considering my age and qualifications,
but it's keeping me too busy.
I feel like it's now or never
for me to leave this job--
MR. VICE-CHAIRMAN
It's him, right?
Don't answer it.
Don't answer it, please.
Please!
Mr. Vice-chairman.
You know where I'm at.
Come here.
I'm busy right now.
For just once, ask Secretary Yang
or I can call a driver--
How do I trust them?
He's asking you to come now?
Let me talk to him.
Please!
Call Ji-ran and
spend just one night together--
Come here at once!
Sir?
Hello?
He wants you to come to give him a ride?
No one cares
if he sleeps out or not for a night.
He's so obsessed with coming home though.
Tell me about it.
I'm so happy that
you're quitting this terrible job.
Where's the spare key
Oh my God!
Mi-so, let me do it.
Kill it, hurry!
You're so dead now.
Mi-so, are you okay?
Are you still afraid of spiders?
Sis.
Are you sure that I have never been lost?
When I was four or five years old?
I've told you it never happened!
Can't believe she loved me so much.
She must've been so upset
delivering flowers to another girl.
Secretary Kim,
I'll break up with Ji-ran.
Young-jun, you are so sharp!
What is he doing?
Is he talking to himself?
Mr. Vice-chairman, here I am.
Crying again? You're embarrassing me.
Are you that happy?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Throw it away.
I'm really sorry.
I'll put the flowers in the trunk.
She is so moved.
What can I do?
I'm sorry.
Who were you with?
I can't tell you.
I'll break up with Ji-ran soon. Okay?
- Seeing someone new?
- Nobody for a while, okay?
Why do you keep asking me "okay?"
- I never slept with her, okay?
- What?
I never slept with Ji-ran.
You know that was only
a relationship for the business.
Yes, I do know.
I can see how upset you've been.
I'll give you a day off tomorrow.
Take a rest and think about it.
Do you mean it?
Oh, but tomorrow we have
the job interview for my replacement.
Just drop by for it.
Okay, thank you!
Have you decided
where to work next?
Not yet.
Will you stay in Seoul?
I'm not sure.
Are you simply leaving without any plan?
It's just to live my own life.
What are you talking about?
Not a secretary's
or a breadwinner's life
but just my own life.
So the time with me
was not her life?
A pimple!
How dare you besmirch my noble forehead!
It's been a long time
since I slept in like this.
Oh, it feels so good!
Time to get up.
DAILY LOG FOR YOUNG-JUN LEE
MI-SO KIM
I overslept too much.
For this contract-- Hey.
Good morning!
Good morning, sir.
I need a change of pace.
RESIGNATION LETTER
MI-SO KIM
Going to work when the sun is out!
So nice.
Hello?
Hey, are you free this evening?
It's me! Secretary Kim
I mean, Mi-so Kim.
You didn't delete my number, did you?
Are you kidding?
You said it's a sugary snack
with 0.03% of ginseng.
It doesn't make any sense
that she wants to live her own life.
The standard working hours are
eight hours a day.
That's 18,000 hours for nine years.
She worked 18 hours a day
without any day off for nine years
and it comes up to 59,130.
That many hours is more time
than a married couple spend together.
How can it mean nothing to her?
She said it was meaningless?
Too bad.
She loved me too much and got hurt.
Even if she's great at her job
and you are attached to her,
you care too much.
- Do you love her?
- Are you out of your mind?
Then what's all this fuss about?
You never let any girls touch you,
except Secretary Kim.
There are more than enough girls
around you.
I've never seen you touch a girl.
Do you suffer from
a sort of women trauma?
I just don't like girls.
- And Secretary Kim?
- Not her.
- She's also a girl.
- She's just
Secretary Kim.
All right, catch you later.
What is he talking about?
Here's the weekly report.
- No, let me warm it for you.
- It's fine.
Ginseng works better when it's warm.
- It's fine. I'll just drink it.
- It has to be warm, give it to--
Oops, I'm really sorry!
I just wanted to warm it up for you
The drink is still cold,
but I am very hot under the collar.
You've never thought of quitting this job,
have you?
No, I'll always stand by your side!
Always?
- You may leave.
- Yes, sir.

You know the guidelines?
HANDOVER OF DUTIES
Talk less and act more.
I made it even though
I had no experience or qualifications.
COOL HEADS! WARM HEARTS!
You'll do well.
And the last thing
I want to tell you is
the reason why I'm leaving.
This is more important than anything
and it is
Mr. Vice-chairman.
You don't look so good. Are you okay?
I didn't sleep well.
You look good.
I slept very well, thanks to you.
Oh, no. You have a pimple?
- I'll call in Dr. Yun.
- No, thanks.
I'll get sleeping pills from Dr. Jung.
Are you
worried about me?
What?
Of course, I am.
As Secretary Kim or as Mi-so Kim?
What are you saying
Mr. Vice-chairman.
The interviewee just arrived.
Are you ready?
Show her in.
You need to join us
as it's for your replacement.
Yes.
Here are some interview questions.
Kim Ji-ah, who are you going to be
when you become my secretary?
Secretary Kim or Kim Ji-ah?
Of course, it would be
Secretary Kim Ji-ah.
Because I'm both.
- Ask a question, please.
- Yes.
Can you tell me what virtues
a secretary should have?
I'd care for a boss
as I'd for a child--
What if you work for a 100% perfect boss?
Then I would be so excited.
Would you be able to meet
his demands 100%?
- Would that boss ever be satisfied?
- That'll be difficult.
Are you responsible enough
to not quit the job
with a lame excuse
such as "personal reasons"?
Yes, I'll work here until the day I die.
What if you really work yourself to death?
What? Is it that hard?
The compensation is the best in Korea.
It pays, but Ji-ah Kim wouldn't exist.
You'll only be Secretary Kim.
All those years of working
do not exist as a part of your life?
I'll do my best if you choose me!
- You are in!
- Are you serious?
- Mr. Park.
- Yes, sir.
Give her a tour.
She's the new Secretary Kim.
Make her your clone
and then leave the company.
I will.
Thank you!
Wait.
The "to live my own life" thing
what exactly do you mean?
I was too busy with work
and I want to have my own time.
- And
- And?
And
I'm 29 years old now.
I should meet someone
and think about getting married.
What?
What a surprise!
Secretary Kim is here.
Sorry, I'll be here every week now
that I have enough time.
I saw you in the news.
You stood right next to the Vice-chairman.
You looked amazing.
Mi-so was the best student among us
and she worked very hard.
Such a career woman!
I'm so jealous. I'm just a mom.
It's just so hard.
But you're a stay-at-home mom.
I'm so busy as a working mom.
- Mi-so, don't get married.
- Why?
- Never ever!
- Why?
- Said by married women!
- I know!
Sorry, sorry.
What the heck?
Men's handkerchief, a tie, and a lighter.
- Whose bag is this?
- It's mine.
Just in case
Vice-chairman needs one.
This is how the career woman lives.
Yay! There's the bus!
Be careful.
He's so cute.
Your name is "Secretary Kim"?
No, no.
I'm Mi-so Kim.
NAME: SECRETARY KIM
NAME: MI-SO KIM
Here you go.
DAILY LOG FOR YOUNG-JUN LEE
HANDOVER OF DUTIES
This is more important than anything
and it is
to make sure that
you have time of your own.
Best regards, Mi-so Kim.
It's done.
A life of her own.
Life, love, and marriage.
She has quite the nerve
to say those things to me.
Who?
- What do you think of me?
- Huh?
What do you think of me?
Come on, it's too obvious.
You're a perfect guy.
Capable, handsome, tall,
and good manners.
Moreover
sexy!
Then what's wrong with her?
What?
What about her?
Don't talk about other girls!
MI-SO KIM
DEAR BROTHER
Who is it?
Oh, my gosh!
What brings you here at this hour?
Anyway, come on in!
Don't give me an order.
I'll talk outside.
Oh okay then.
All that love and marriage stuff.
Did you mean it?
You came all the way here
to ask such things this late at night?
Why? Are you secretly seeing
someone that I don't know about?
Mr. Vice-chairman.
- Are you upset?
- No.
Why would I get upset
if you're seeing someone?
- Yeah.
- Just answer my question.
I'm not seeing anyone.
Of course not.
- What?
- What?
No reason to keep it secret,
and I couldn't afford the time.
I go to work at 6:00 a.m.
and don't come home at a set time.
And whenever you call me,
I get up and run out of bed.
So what?
That's not very persuasive.
If I don't quit
and continue to work for you,
I'm going to grow old and single.
That's the reason? How lame.
"How lame"?
If you fire me in my old age,
who can I rely on?
All right, I guarantee you
a lifetime position.
Don't even say it.
You're telling me to work for you
and grow old and lonely.
So
for the purpose of getting married,
you must quit your job?
Yes.
You're that desperate to get married, huh?
Yes.
Well, stay at the company.
I, Young-jun Lee,
will allow you to marry me.
I'm dating now.
Is it worth this business deal
to date Secretary Kim?
Write down places you want to go
with someone you have a crush on.
- Pork ribs?
- Good!
The alcohol importation team
isn't doing great.
Don't talk about work at the dinner table.
Secretary Kim, this karaoke thing
Why don't you just leave?
Okay, I got it.
Stop talking so much.
I was just answering your questions.
You're talking back to me again.
- Secretary Kim!
- Yes.
A romantic day like today
will be your daily life in the future.
