So, this started while on the Yeosu business trip.
- So
- This is nice.
(Ji Seok)
Give me a glass of that.
Yoon Seo, I'm studying hard,
so you should work hard too.
Only then will you be able to provide for me.
You said your brother was in 12th grade.
Did he send a photo to prove he studied?
Yes. His college entrance exams are just around the corner.
But he's not that good at studying.
I can tell.
He got this one wrong, and this one too.
Come on, what?
How can you tell after a quick glance?
Why wouldn't I?
I was so good at math when I was in school.
I relieve my stress by solving math problems.
You know the math Olympiad? I even won a prize there.
I made so much money tutoring kids in math during college.
What do you take me for?
Then, don't just show off like that.
You should tutor Ms. Ha's brother or something.
I mean, we got to receive a bonus for the Hanok Stay.
You owe her for so much over the years.
I don't owe her for that much.
Tell him to come by the office sometime.
I'll take a look at his work.
No, I'm grateful enough for the offer.
Hey, Ms. Ha!
Hey, didn't you guys go home already?
Oh, our meeting with the PR team ended a little late.
Oh, right. We're going to go have some fried chicken.
Do you want to come with us?
One second.
(Ji Seok)
Hey, Ji Seok.
Why are you suddenly video calling me?
I wanted to show you that I solved all of the questions.
I see.
Gosh, he got them all wrong again.
What's the use in just solving them?
You need to get them right.
Good job. I'll eat dinner before I go home.
I'm hungry too. Can I order
spicy braised chicken from Yi Rae's?
Oh, sure. Bye.
Spicy braised chicken?
Let's go.
One second. We were going to have chicken too anyway.
- Can't we come to your place?
- What?
You said you lived right nearby.
We could go and have Mr. Bae tutor your brother in math.
- How nice!
- Well, sure.
You said you'd have a housewarming party but you didn't.
- Right.
- Right.
Let's go. Since we're on the subject
- But
- Let's go.
Yes!
- But wait I mean
- No, we're going.
- This is the bathroom, right?
- Oh, yes.
You're dividing the line AC in a 3 to 1 ratio.
Then, what will A to the 3rd power be?
This is divided
I was just going to talk about leaving my job.
What in the world is this?
Who is it?
What's this?
Yoon Seo.
I have nowhere to go.
I left everything and left.
"Left everything?"
Now, all I have is you.
Wait, Wimp?
I thought you broke up. Why did you come again?
Hey, brother. Do you have the answer key for this?
I don't think we learned stuff like this in my day
Director Seo.
Is the food here?
Director Seo
What, "Director Seo?"
Then, is Wimp
a third-generation conglomerate?
Hey, so
Delivery! I heard the whole team was here
What? Are you two dating again?
- No!
- What? "Dating again?"
Did you two date before?
Like that, our office romance
became known
after we broke up.
Excuse me
One moment.
Yes, that's right.
We dated for a year and six months.
Under the decision that everyone would feel uncomfortable
if our teammates found out about this,
we had kept it a secret so far.
However, we broke up about a month ago.
We are not getting back together.
I think we should finish today's meeting here.
I apologize.
- Director Seo?
- Yes.
Let's talk for a minute.
Okay.
I'll be going.
What was that? A briefing?
I thought we were in the meeting room.
I know. She's good at presenting her breakup too.
What? "Presenting her breakup?" How could you say that?
All right.
Since the situation is rather awkward right now,
and you seem to know everything there is to know now,
how about you leave for today?
But
The thing is, we haven't had dinner yet.
So, even if we have to leave,
could we do that after we eat this spicy braised chicken?
What?
Just one bite.
Just one bite.
No way.
I mean, we didn't even find out that Ju Won was
the son of the company's owner until recently.
But today, we found out that those two dated!
I'm so shocked right now.
Why? I predicted there was something between those two.
I said they were flirting with each other on the Yeosu trip.
Gosh.
But then, if they dated for a year and six months,
did she date him knowing he was rich or not?
I know, right?
I'll use the bathroom, Ji Seok.
Okay.
By the way,
this is what I want to know the most.
Which part about Ms. Ha
did Director Seo like?
I know!
What's wrong with my sister?
Well, you say that because you don't know.
Your sister is so scary at work.
She's super scary at home too.
What? Then you should know even more than us.
When Ju Won was a new recruit, Ms. Ha was his direct supervisor.
She was so harsh on him and acted so cold.
What on earth did he like about her?
Why?
Hang on.
Is it something like this?
You call this a report?
Do you expect me to read something like this?
Be mine.
You're the first woman who has ever yelled at me.
Gosh, seriously. We're eating here.
What? I mean, it could be true.
Throughout his entire life,
who would've treated Ju Won like that?
Someone who advises, criticizes, and leads him down the right path.
How fresh would that have been for him?
Fresh, my foot.
But are you really sure he's the son of a conglomerate family?
- Yes.
- Yes.
The two of them have been dating like high school kids
who get allowances.
Even I thought it was ridiculous.
They'd always eat tteokbokki and go on walks.
They were such humble dates that I wondered
if I should give them money.
But a conglomerate?
Then that must've been the secret.
So this is sundae.
It's chewy.
So excellent.
The sauce is even more special here.
Hurry up and eat it.
If it's a day I spend with you,
it's ordinary but special.
Gosh, seriously!
That gives me the creeps!
Stop imagining stuff about my sister.
Okay.
Also, from now on, watch what you say in front of my sister.
It must be so hard to be in the same office after breaking up.
I'm not sure. They didn't seem to be struggling that much.
You couldn't tell at all until now.
That's what I mean.
Actually, brother, this may not sound too pleasant,
but your sister is such a dogged woman.
You've heard of the phrase, "She wouldn't even bleed"
"if you poked her with a needle," right?
If you take that phrase and turn it into a human,
it would be your sister.
Your sister is not the type to struggle from a breakup.
It looked obvious that Director Seo was trying to cling to her.
That means Director Seo was the one who got dumped.
And he's the one who's struggling.
So, he must be the victim in this situation.
It's not like that.
Yoon Seo broke up because of his family's opposition.
Yoon Seo was practically threatened by the chairwoman!
Are you serious?
What?
Well, that's
Then
a situation we only saw in cheesy soap operas happened in real life?
My goodness.
Look at this shabby place.
You can guess why I'm here, can't you?
Break up with my son.
No, I love Ju Won.
I can't break up with him.
How dare you lay your hand on me?
Do you know how much this is worth?
Dirty. How dirty.
So dirty!
I told you to stop it!
What's dirty? What's so shabby?
We may still be paying a mortgage, but we own this place.
How nice is your place
that you're talking smack about ours, mister?
Sorry.
I actually live in a rented studio apartment.
Also, I'm not that much older. I'm the same age as your sister.
But you can I'll stop.
Yes, please just give it a rest.
I only told you in case you got the wrong idea
and spread rumours at work.
Please act like you don't know.
Please take good care of our dear Yoon Seo.
She may not show it, but she still has a hard time.
I'm sorry. I didn't know everyone was here.
Forget that for now.
You said you left everything behind.
What does that mean?
Actually,
I felt awful after hearing about your resignation.
After you broke up with me,
you even made up your mind to quit a job you love so much.
But I'm still holding onto my position.
So? Are you saying you'll abandon your entire background and leave?
Then what am I supposed to do?
Should I just watch you leave
everything you've achieved so far?
I won't tell the teammates about my resignation for now.
The ongoing project will be over soon.
I'll leave after handing off all of my tasks, so don't worry.
I'll be going now.
Will you be okay?
You said you didn't want
people to know about our relationship.
It's not like we're dating. We're broken up.
What can anyone do?
When time passes, I'm sure things will be okay.
What's this? What's with the mood?
Were you guys still here?
- Oh, I'm leaving. Bye.
- We should go
I'll leave you to it.
I'll be going too.
Cheer up.
I'm rooting for you, Ms. Ha.
What's going on? Why is everyone acting that way?
Yoon Seo, don't get down on yourself.
The other guy may be from a conglomerate family,
but you know you're not lacking in any way to be treated like this.
What are you saying, all of a sudden?
I heard all about it.
That you tragically broke up because of his family's opposition.
What?
Darn it!
- Hello?
- Hey, Kim Yi Rae.
How could you say all of that?
And in front of Ji Seok too!
Well
They were going on about how you seemed fine after breaking up,
calling you a dogged woman and all that.
So, I was trying to stick up for you that I ended up
Still, I didn't talk about how you accepted money from the chairwoman.
Is that right? Thanks.
Thanks to you, my office life will be so embarrassing and fun.
It won't be too embarrassing.
They're all smart people.
I doubt they'll let on that they know.
Oh, my. I'm getting a phone call.
I'll call you later. Bye.
Hey!
Darn it.
I left everything and left.
Things won't be too serious, right?
Why did you give me so much rice?
So you'd eat a lot and cheer up.
By the way, did his family disapprove because of me?
Because of you?
You have a younger brother you have to be responsible for.
Did Wimp's family not like that or something?
If it was something like that, just let me know.
I'll be turning 20 soon.
Then, I'll move out and live fine on my own.
Ha Ji Seok. It was nothing like that at all.
Don't mind that. Act like you didn't hear it.
But how can I do that when I have heard it?
You don't want to go to work, do you?
How annoying would it be to work in the same office as your ex?
Do you want to skip work and hang out with me?
Skip? As if.
Eat up and go to school.
Okay.
Oh, then, if your colleagues tease or annoy you,
let me know right away, okay?
Ji Seok.
The world of adults is different from yours.
Someone else's pain is
something you pretend not to know or see.
That's an unspoken rule in the world of adults.
So, don't worry too much.
That was what I confidently said, but
Oh, no.
Oh, I wasn't crying.
Sure, let's say that.
No, you don't understand. I really wasn't.
The office was really dry, so I used artificial tears.
I was using artificial tears, but I squeezed too hard so
I really wasn't crying!
Gosh, seriously
That was how it went.
They had no mercy in the form of ignoring someone else's pain.
No wonder people keep office romances a secret.
Director Seo, how about we get some noodles for lunch?
From now on, let's have lunch together,
just the two of us.
You should eat with me later.
We won't be eating as a group of four from now on.
Mr. Bae and I will each split up and tail you as defenders.
So,
you can relax.
Thanks.
It's so uncomfortable.
All right. Let's go to the third floor.
The vending machine on the third floor is slightly better.
You're right.
Hello.
Good.
Ms. Ha, I closed the door quickly so Director Seo couldn't get on.
It'd be so awkward for you to run into each other.
- Good job.
- Right?
Yes, thank you for your hard work.
This is so uncomfortable.
The schedule looks good, right?
Yes.
It's the chairwoman. Ms. Ha Ms. Ha!
Ms. Ha!
- Hang on.
- What
This way
Wait
What are you doing?
Open up!
Ms. Ha, take the stairs.
The chairwoman is coming in to the lobby right now.
What if you meet in the elevator and get yelled at?
Hurry up and run away!
I did a great deed.
If they had run into each other, it would've been
What do we do? The chairwoman is headed this way!
That's right.
The VIP elevator is that way.
What do we do?
I shouldn't have been caught.
This is so stressful, both mentally and physically.
What is this?
(Cleaning)
My gosh, I'm so sorry.
Oh, no.
Are you all right?
Yes. I'm okay, but
Now, let's look at the latest social media trends.
The world is changing rapidly these days.
To keep up with the trends,
we should be proactive with social media marketing.
Let's go over the latest social media trends.
These days, using algorithms and UI design
to analyse user participation behaviour and optimize
What do we do?
She must've run into the chairwoman and got slapped in the face.
Yes, I know.
It's all your fault. What should we do?
Then what should we do?
We should stay ahead of the trend
by focusing on video content rather than text content.
We'll reshape our marketing strategy based on this.
Next, we'll discuss mobile customer experience.
The recent changes in user platforms allow users
to focus on their experience while
I feel bad that you embarrassed yourself
in front of your ex because of me.
I hope this doesn't make you uncomfortable.
I want to apologize, so please accept this. From Psychopath.
So, we need to approach this strategically.
Also, considering the recent AI developments,
we must pay attention to how easy it now is for users to use AI.
Let's look at the next page.
(So uncomfortable)
It makes me so uncomfortable!
Why did you suddenly want to have tea with me?
What's going on?
Well, just because.
I just wanted to see you. It's been too long.
What do you mean it's been too long?
I saw you last night.
Anyway, where's Ju Won?
He said he couldn't join us because his meeting was running late.
Why? Did you get into an argument with him yesterday?
Ju Won
just up and left.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting that.
Ju Won is so easygoing. He left home?
Did he move out with all his stuff?
No, he didn't.
But it looked like he would.
I already knew he and that girl broke up,
and I also knew he'd be heartbroken
for a while.
So
I thought we just had to overcome this crisis.
Just once.
Can't you be my mother and not the chairwoman?
Oh, no.
Ju Won told me he was meeting with the live commerce client,
but that meeting is tomorrow according to the schedule.
I guess Ju Won is
avoiding you, Mother.
(Headquarters Director Seo Ju Won)
My, your office is nice.
Hey, your sofa is nicer than mine.
What brings you here?
Well, I just wanted to see you.
Let's get out of here before my team sees you.
What? What are you doing?
Hey, you don't want them to see me because you're embarrassed of me?
- Yes, you embarrass me. Come on.
- What?
Let's get out of here.
I saw you yesterday. Why did you want to see me again?
What's up?
What do you think?
I dropped by to see you because I was worried.
I heard you just up and left.
Where did you sleep last night?
At a hotel.
My goodness.
What are you, a runaway youth?
I can't even have you stay with me because of your sister-in-law.
Hey, actually Why don't you just stay with us?
It's already so awkward.
It might be a bit better if you stay with us.
Stop talking nonsense.
Why didn't you tell me?
That she was coming back, and you were joining AL Corporation.
You knew about it.
No, I only found out that day too.
Also, Mi Jin came back without even telling me.
What? The two of you don't even talk about things like that?
No, we don't.
She kept it from me
because the company had to keep it confidential.
Hey. When it comes to business,
Mi Jin is as strict as our mom.
Sometimes, I feel as though I married Mom.
Well, anyway
It's not like you didn't see it coming.
That you'd eventually take over my position.
Don't make your own life more difficult.
Just go back home.
Well
Do I really have a home to go back to?
I'm sorry. Should I step out and pick up some ice packs?
Because of us, your cheek is
"Us?" This time, I didn't do anything.
What? Then I didn't do anything either.
I know the cleaning lady slapped her.
I'm only apologizing because I feel morally responsible.
You two. Please, that is enough.
Thank you for your concern, but
No. Actually, I do not appreciate this.
I'd be more grateful if you treated me like before,
so please just act like you don't know anything.
Well, we just feel bad for you.
Why would you feel bad for me?
We dated and broke up. That's all.
Have you never been in a relationship?
People break up all the time.
There are so many office couples that have broken up.
Will you get all nosy and interfere each time?
Let's say you two dated and broke up.
Would you be happy if I kept bothering you like this?
Gosh, seriously
Well
I think she's embarrassed that
we've found out about your relationship.
I'll move my office.
I'm sorry.
It's fine. I'll quit soon anyway. Why bother moving your office?
I'd hate it if you were stressed out because of me until you quit.
I decided to use that office to be close to you.
Without you, it means nothing,
so don't worry about it.
This makes me so angry.
- What?
- Why is everything so easy for you?
Moving your office and giving up everything you have.
I guess you think it's very romantic.
You're wrong.
I find it so obnoxious.
I was so angry yesterday too.
I think you're seriously mistaken about something.
A rich heir meets an ordinary girl.
He says it's true love and moves out of his mansion?
What's more selfish than that?
Have you imagined how the woman would feel, watching all of it?
The man, who has lived comfortably all his life,
now has to struggle financially because of her.
How miserable would she feel while watching him go through that?
He'd think to himself,
"I love you so much that I can give up everything I have."
The truth is,
he's doing that to get self-satisfaction.
- Yoon Seo.
- Remember this, Seo Ju Won.
If you ever meet a woman who tells you to do that,
just dump her.
It's not true love.
Then why is it so easy for you?
The thought of you dating someone else.
I don't even want to think about it. How could you say that so easily?
What about you? Did you ever truly love me?
I know this isn't an easy path
and that you'll be hurt.
But I hoped you'd hold my hand.
However
You were afraid you'd get hurt
and tried to let my hand go right away.
Ever since you found out about my family.
You may think I'm an immature kid who always whines for love.
And my worries
might seem like the complaints of a spoiled child to you.
But I truly meant it, every single moment.
I never once thought that the things I had were rightfully mine.
"What can I do on my own?" I was curious and scared.
You were the first thing I'd ever achieved on my own,
so I couldn't give up on you when I could give up everything else.
I know I'm pathetic for not being able to get over you
after breaking up.
But even in this moment,
I'm only worried about how to keep you
from getting hurt.
So how could you do this to me?
What's going on?
He seems angry.
I was the one
who was making everyone uncomfortable.
It'd take at least two months to find and train my replacement.
Is it right for me to stay here,
knowing I'm making everyone uncomfortable?
- Excuse me, Ms. Ha.
- Oh, yes.
It may not be appropriate for me to bring this up now,
but I thought I should tell you anyway.
What's it about?
Well, there's a headhunter
who's been really wanting to meet you.
A headhunter?
Yes. You see, I never do this,
but he's incredibly competent as a headhunter.
So, I suggest you just meet him and talk about
Forget it. I shouldn't have said it.
I'll meet him.
Really?
He's actually in the area now. Would you like to step out now?
Oh! The lunch break has just started. Nice.
Why don't you step out and chat with him over a meal?
What? Now? It's too sudden.
Preparing too much for a meeting like this
will only give you a headache.
He's been pestering me to put him in touch with you.
Talk about perfect timing!
All right. Get going. Hurry.
- But this is too
- Gosh, just go.
- Here's mine.
- Thank you.
(Ha Yoon Seo)
It's nice to meet you.
Oh, it is very nice to meet you.
I've been pestering him to put me in touch with you.
Finally, we meet.
Thank you.
Here. I prepared it in a rush, so it's not that great.
(Name: Ha Yoon Seo)
Why are you giving me this?
What do you mean, why?
Oh, is this how people do it these days?
Well, how else would they do it?
It's just that I've never seen someone
bring their resume to a blind date.
What?
A blind date?
A blind date, all of a sudden? How did this come about?
- Well, hear me out.
- Okay.
Love is the best cure for a broken heart, you know.
That's why I arranged it.
But I suddenly felt bad for Director Seo
and didn't think it was a good idea, so I told her to forget about it.
But to my surprise, she said she'd do it.
I was quite surprised.
My gosh.
I guess she wants to forget him as soon as possible.
I mean, she said yes to a blind date arranged today
What? Why
He probably heard that, right?
I think he did.
Shoot.
I'm sorry. Please forget about this.
I didn't know this was a blind date.
It's not a problem.
I feel like I wasted your time. I'm sorry.
The truth is, I saw your photos on social media
and have been asking him to set me up with you.
I guess my job
caused the misunderstanding.
I'm sorry.
Could you please say nothing about my resume to Mr. Bae?
Well, I don't want him to know that I'm looking for another job.
Oh, sure thing. Don't worry about that.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
- Enjoy.
- Great, thank you.
I have to say, I'm grateful
for the misunderstanding.
Without the misunderstanding, we wouldn't have met like this.
Pardon?
Well, we both took time out of our busy schedules to meet like this.
Can we just think of this as a blind date and talk?
What?
Well, let's eat first.
Oh, okay.
Right. What kind of food do you like, Yoon Seo?
I like spicy food.
Oh, you like spicy food?
I can't really handle spices, so I can't eat spicy food.
My stomach gets upset.
To be honest, I don't understand
why people eat those things.
Well
- I see.
- But you like it, so
Do you like it?
Oh, what do you normally do on your days off?
Do you have a hobby?
I enjoy watching movies. Horror movies.
Horror movies?
My gosh. I hate disturbing, cruel stuff.
I really hate it,
so I can't watch movies like that. My gosh, you're brave.
Yes.
Gosh, I'm scared.
But if someone you love likes them,
you should be able to eat such food and watch such movies with them,
don't you think?
Well, we could just do things that we both like.
Why do something that one of us doesn't like?
I used to think that too.
- Right?
- Yes.
I wasn't forcing myself to do things I hated because of you.
Thanks to you, I've grown to like a lot of things.
In every moment of my daily life, I'm reminded of Ju Won.
It breaks my heart.
You were afraid you'd get hurt
and tried to let my hand go right away.
I always thought I was a realistic person,
but I was selfish.
In order to protect myself from getting hurt,
I acted like I was being realistic
while avoiding him and ignoring the problem.
I think that will be better.
What should we do, Ms. Ha?
Director Seo knows everything.
- What are you talking about?
- The thing is
He found out about your blind date.
What?
When I first made up my mind to break up with him,
I'd planned to make him hate me slowly but surely.
Yes, don't make excuses.
There's no such thing as a nice breakup,
so this is actually good.
If he hates me, it might actually be good for both of us.
But of course,
when I see him, I keep feeling
I've never seen Ms. Ha take a half day.
We should've just listened to her and left her be.
We meddled in her business
because we felt bad for her and wanted to help.
I feel like we made it more difficult for her.
That's insane!
I'm not insane. Why are you swearing at me?
No, not you.
Park Jong Seo, the artist shown at Hanok Stay, has been accused
of hiring a ghost painter.
- What?
- Here, look.
This is insane!
(Artist Park Jong Seo Accused of Hiring Ghost Painter)
(Accept, Decline)
What does he want from me?
Hey! Drive properly, will you?
Who made an illegal U-turn first?
- Me!
- What?
You need to be flexible with these things.
People who can't even drive are out driving.
All sorts of riff-raff drive their own cars.
Must be nice.
What? "Riff-raff?"
Do I know you?
Have we met before? Why are you talking so casually to me?
You little You still look like a kid.
Thanks for telling me that I look young,
but I'm not that young.
And just because I look young, it doesn't mean
you can swear and talk so casually to me.
Oh, dear.
No one's hurt,
so let's calm down and go our own ways.
You're out and about when everyone else is working. Lucky you.
I'm a busy man. You ruined my day.
I am not exactly lucky. My life is so tough.
I'm struggling to make ends meet.
I've always worked when everyone else was playing.
I'm a natural-born hard worker. Do you have any idea?
I forced myself to go to work and put up with all sorts of insults.
I'm taking a half day for the very first time in my career.
Do you even know how I feel?
We're both struggling, so let's stop fighting!
Goodness.
Hon Hello?
"Hon?" I'm not your honey.
Are you kidding me?
What is this? Why did I accept this call?
I have no idea.
You accepted the call by mistake,
and I heard you shout and fight.
It was so entertaining I couldn't hang up.
What a psycho.
Listen. Delete my number
and don't text or call ever again.
(The call has ended.)
(Power off)
The call cannot be connected. Transferring to voicemail.
She's not picking up. I think she turned off her phone.
What should we do, then?
The grand opening is next week.
Right.
Do you remember where Ms. Ha lives?
Should we visit her at home?
Will she be at home?
Since we told the director,
won't he sort it out for us somehow?
How could he sort out something like this?
He was our team rookie who worked
for us just a few months ago.
Right.
I took care of the urgent issues.
I told AL Hanok Stay to take down the exhibition,
and Park Jong Seo's name was deleted from all press releases.
We knew nothing of the problem,
so PR will do damage control.
Legal is going over the contract to decide the scope of damage.
We should find another artist who can exhibit right away.
What? Yes, sure.
We can't leave an art gallery empty on opening day.
The next exhibition is three months away, right?
Can I have a list of upcoming exhibitions?
Yes, sir.
The works for the exhibition three months later
are currently in the UK, so we can't bring them in right now.
The works for the one after that are also in another gallery.
We can't use them either.
How about we call Korean painting artist
Lee Sung Min who was our first pick?
Ms. Ha asked him
for months to work with us, and he refused.
Would he say yes if we asked him to fill in days before the opening?
Could you please think a bit before you speak?
I'll give the artist a call.
See?
How will you do that?
We barely talked just to his agent after months of trying.
I have a feeling I can get a number.
I see.
Goodbye.
How does he think he can get his number?
Will he go to a private investigator?
Whether he goes to a private investigator or not,
I just wish this gets sorted out.
Where is Ms. Ha,
and what is she doing at this crucial time?
Oh, gosh
If I go home now, Ji Seok will worry.
If I go to Yi Rae's, I'll drink myself silly.
The sky is so pretty for no good reason.
What?
You got Lee Sung Min to say yes?
Yes. We'll go to his studio now to pick out the artwork.
You never showed us these skills when you were a rookie,
and you're showing off now as a director?
We had mutual acquaintances,
and I heard that he went from being unable
to exhibit to being willing recently.
Shall we get ready to leave now?
What should we do about Ms. Ha?
She's in charge of AL Hanok Stay.
Handling such a huge issue without talking to her
It can't be helped.
She's absent,
so she must pay the price.
You don't talk to your wife even about that?
(Husband)
Hey, hello?
Hi. What?
What do you do this evening?
I'll eat dinner.
Let's eat together.
Together? Okay. See you at 7pm.
Okay. I'd like Chinese.
We're having steak. I'll text the address.
(Senior Managing Director Lee Mi Jin)
What? Did she hang up on me?
My gosh. How can she be like this?
She comes and goes as she pleases,
and picks the menu too.
No. This kind of life is just not right.
I'll deal with it
once and for all today.
Ms. Lee is here already.
I'll show you the way.
- You're here.
- What?
- Hello.
- Hello.
Yes. Hello.
What kind of situation is this?
I want to ask you that.
You wanted to eat together, so why are you so startled?
I meant you and me, just us.
You should've said so, then.
I said I'd be having dinner, and you wanted in.
I thought you'd join my party.
I'd never do that.
If you had dinner plans, you should've told me so.
I told you I'd be having dinner.
If I didn't have plans, I'd have said I'd go home.
Our communication is this broken down?
We never talked, so we never got to learn
how each other speaks.
I showed up and said hi, so I'll pay for your dinner.
We can talk at home later.
You'll just leave?
You come all the way here, and you won't eat?
You wouldn't know,
but I'm shy.
I'm Seo Ju Won, Director of Marketing at AL Card.
Hello.
Mr. Lee says you can look around as you wait.
Is that okay with you?
Yes, of course.
A vibration-free truck will be at the studio
by 9am tomorrow morning.
Professional packers will come too.
My team will help too, so you don't have to worry.
Okay. But Mr. Lee
He has a thing about lighting.
I know.
A lighting company is available for a meeting at 11am.
Will he be free then?
How did you arrange everything so quickly?
This is incredible.
Do you need our help with anything, sir?
Shall we get you some wine?
No, it's fine. I can manage.
You don't have to worry.
Okay, then.
I preferred being alone.
You're home early.
Yes. We just had dinner.
You should've joined us instead of coming home to eat this.
What did you want to talk about at home?
I think we have some organizing to do.
Organizing? What organizing?
We had an excuse when we lived apart,
but now we must live together and sometimes work together.
It's silly that we can't communicate about simple issues like today.
True.
As family, roommates, and business partners,
I'd like us to decide on some rules.
Okay. I admit that's necessary.
What I want the most
is that you don't just give notifications.
Notifications
We weren't in touch often,
but you could've told me in advance
that you'd be moving back from France.
Oh, that?
My father notified me about that only after I flew in.
- Really?
- Yes.
You could've alerted me about the situation.
I'd have been less flustered.
It's not just a business issue.
We share a living space. How could I not know about that?
Okay. That was inconsiderate on my part.
I only told you what was official in case you were busy.
It would've been a notification on your part.
And actually
I thought you didn't like being in touch.
Well, I don't enjoy being in constant contact with someone,
but that doesn't mean I dislike it.
Then
should we be in touch?
Well
Sometimes?
How about once a day, either a call, text, or DM?
To discuss our schedules
or relay certain changes to our personal lives.
Sounds good.
Do you have any agendas you wish to discuss?
I won't have a baby for at least three years.
Okay.
That's easily solved
by sleeping separately as we do right now.
Parts of this house can appear on my social media.
You know everything I wear and use is part of my business, right?
Yes. We agreed on that when we got married.
Oh, and we agreed not to post my face.
Yes.
I'm well aware you're banned from using social media
after the crying selfie.
Did you have to bring that up? It's embarrassing.
I assume we have a deal.
Let's shake on it.
Okay.
We didn't marry for love,
but I hope things don't get uncomfortable.
Even though we had to get married because our families promised.
That's not true.
I married you because you weren't too bad.
On the plane. I liked what you did.
Can I get you anything?
I'm fine.
Then
you fell for my sweet, gentle nature?
What?
What do you mean I fell for you?
I just appreciated what you did.
Don't be mistaken.
That woman.
She has a good eye.
I'm amazing.
What a successful deal.
Yes!
What time is it?
(No Ye Young, Bae Jang Hee)
Where are you, Ms. Ha? It's bad over here.
We must take down all the artwork at AL Hanok Stay.
Ms. Ha, did you see the news? Call me right away.
Sorry. Was there a lot to do?
Ms. Ha. We just did as we were told.
- Director Seo did the hard work.
- Yes.
He handled the media, found an artist, chose the pieces,
and even hired a packaging and moving company.
I see he learned a great deal from me.
He took care of everything so fast and without hesitation.
Seriously.
Let's get back to work.
I'm sorry.
I didn't imagine anything like this would happen.
You told me not to worry that you'd hand over your duties.
Then you suddenly took a half day and turned off your phone.
I didn't know you were so irresponsible.
I'm disappointed.
I thought I wouldn't mind if he was displeased with me.
It feels unfamiliar and saddening.
Let's all have a coffee break.
Enjoy yourselves.
I never thought
his displeasure would hurt so bad.
Since we're done eating, shall we get back to work?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Hello, Mr. Lee.
Hello.
I'm Seo Ju Won. I heard a lot about you.
It's nice to meet you.
Thanks so much for accepting our sudden offer.
It wasn't sudden.
I'd been reading the proposals you'd sent over the past few months.
It seemed like a good idea,
but I was unable to put on an exhibition then.
I was unable to accept it before.
I'm sorry for refusing back then,
Ms. Ha Yoon Seo.
Not at all. I'm honoured to work with you.
The honour is mine.
We work to make a living.
We should help each other out.
A member of staff will assist you when you arrive.
Please do your best.
Do help us out, please.
We'll be on our way, then.
Take care.
You worked hard all night.
Rest up over the weekend. I'll see you on Monday.
Ms. Ha, you left your car by the river, right?
You must take a taxi.
- Come with me.
- Okay.
Goodbye, then.
See you on Monday.
Shall we leave too?
Yes. Director Seo.
Don't berate Ms. Ha for not taking your calls.
She must've been so stressed out if she took a half day
and turned off her phone too.
The truth is, the two of us went overboard
after finding out about you.
- How do you mean?
- Well
We happened to hear the chairwoman disapproved of her.
We pushed her into the stairwell
so she wouldn't run into the chairwoman,
and she ended up getting slapped by a cleaner.
That's why I set her up on a blind date.
Anyway, I feel partially responsible for Ms. Ha's half-day fiasco.
I feel guilty and all that.
You seemed to be having an important conversation.
Bye.
It's all very sudden.
Thanks so much for saying yes.
I promise to sponsor the young artist program
you mentioned.
I'll see you at your studio.
Then, is Ms. Ha Yoon Seo coming later too?
Pardon?
She seems pretty interesting.
I'm sorry for refusing back then,
Ms. Ha Yoon Seo.
I didn't know you were so irresponsible.
I'm disappointed.
Why are you so down?
You seemed fired up and spunky.
I sent too many emails, didn't I?
I'll see you again soon.
Aren't you hungry?
What?
How about gukbap and soju?
Oh, is it too early for soju?
It's not that it's too early for soju.
I don't think it would be right to drink alone with you.
I'm honoured to work with you,
but I don't want things to be too personal.
Not this psycho again.
I should register the number as spam.
(Menu: Report as spam)
It would hurt if you were to report my number in my presence.
You knew who I was from the start?
How did you know that number was
No. How did you know who I was?
Let's get breakfast. I'll explain.
Yes?
Sorry.
Listen.
Will it get okay with time?
Will that day even come?
Yoon Seo.
I can't stand seeing you with someone else.
There will be no one else for me.
Not even as an "if."
Not even in the future.
I can't love anyone else.
As long as there's you.
She seems cold, but she's interesting too.
I'm interested.
Don't cling to someone from the past and focus on work.
I really don't believe in destiny,
but I almost did this time.
I'll help you.
Go to the dinner
and get the girl.
If Mr. Lee doesn't like me,
why would he come all the way from Jeju Island and go overboard?
Are you awake, you darlings?
What's this?
What on earth happened?
