My childhood was simply pitiful.
- Hey, come here!
- Help me!
- Let go!
- I only have memories
of being beaten and crying.
(Midterm Exams, Korean)
It didn't matter if I got
perfect scores on my exams.
I never heard a single word of praise.
- Get up.
- I'm scared.
With only one hope of leaving home,
I endured those times.
You unlucky brat.
- To me, parents were
- Get out of my life!
- Like nightmares I couldn't forget.
- Disappear!
But now,
that nightmare
had gone to sleep forever.
I felt deep sorrow.
Couldn't we have been
happy like other families?
If we could've at least been normal,
how nice would it have been?
Then,
I could've become a good daughter too.
(Funeral Center)
How did you know and come here?
Ji Seok called me.
To be by your side.
Yoon Seo.
Yoon Seo.
Let go of me!
Why are you here?
Who are you to come all
the way here and interfere?
Yoon Seo.
I don't know how much you heard,
but not all families are alike.
And I don't think of that woman
as my mom.
I'm not sad at all.
So, leave.
Leave!
Then, why are you crying?
You say you're not sad.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I tried hard not to pity myself.
But,
as he held me in his arms,
I suddenly felt
like I was so pitiful.
That was why I cried.
It wasn't because my
mother's death was sad.
I pitied myself so much.
I'm embarrassed.
What?
I said I was embarrassed
for crying like that.
How much did you hear?
Not much.
Just about how you and Ji
Seok ended up living on your own.
If you heard, you must know.
I didn't live a very stable life.
So, I think that was why
I was so obsessed with
having a happy family.
My childhood
was always so pitiful.
"Pitiful?"
It must've been so hard,
more than I could ever imagine.
You endured that life.
And you're so amazing for being so strong.
I've always thought that way.
I lived a life where everything was
given to me the moment I was born.
(Personnel Appointment Notice)
(Ha Yoon Seo, Marketing
1 assistant manager to manager)
Assistant I mean,
Manager Ha! Congratulations!
Congratulations.
- Me?
- You were promoted!
Everyone, applause!
- Thank you.
- You had achieved everything
on your own.
- Congratulations!
- I admired you for that.
Sorry for suddenly coming here.
I knew you might not like it,
but I thought you'd be struggling.
I came because I didn't
want you to be alone.
I know.
Thank you.
You consoled me.
Let's go now. It's cold.
Okay.
Yoon Seo, let's get married.
Let's get married.
But
I'm so grateful that you were born.
It was a miracle that we met,
and want to spend my whole life with you.
(Cinderella at 2AM)
Let's get married.
Yoon Seo, let's get married.
Well
This is so sudden
I'm not saying this out of the blue.
It's something I've been
thinking of every single day.
You'll need some time to think, right?
Don't answer me now.
Take your time to think things over,
and answer me then.
What's wrong with Yoon Seo?
You said before that when she
was struggling with something,
she would work herself
physically to get rid of that thought.
Is that what's going on now?
Maybe.
I thought she was doing fine for a while.
Ha Yoon Seo.
What?
Let's talk.
- Why? I have to do this now.
- Give me that.
Please stop torturing
yourself physically
when you're struggling on the inside.
It doesn't seem like something ordinary.
Have you decided to
really end things with him?
He asked me to marry him.
What?
Seriously?
I just can't figure you guys out.
You say he's rich out of nowhere,
you're breaking up suddenly,
and he suddenly comes to your house.
And now, you're suddenly getting married?
So? What did you say?
I said I'd think about it.
Ha Yoon Seo. I get that
his family is a big deal,
but you two love each other so much.
But you can't get married just out of love.
If our marriage becomes known,
there will be news articles.
Then, people will wonder,
"Who's that regular woman that
married the conglomerate son?"
They'll look into my personal
life and talk about me.
Then,
Ji Seok might get hurt.
I'm scared too.
You've thought about all
sorts of things, haven't you?
If you're lacking in some
ways, you support each other.
If you're in pain, you caress the other.
I thought marriage was when
you relied on each other like that.
But I don't know what I can do
for Ju Won.
So,
I couldn't answer him right away.
What? You proposed to her?
- Yes.
- Gosh, you're incredible, brother.
You got through Mother's opposition.
You're actually getting married.
I'm not getting married. I
just asked her to marry me.
Hey, that's the same thing.
I don't think I can leave
Yoon Seo alone anymore.
Why, this little
You left Mother all alone and left home.
I'll go back home soon.
I shouldn't avoid her anymore
and try to convince her.
Gosh, but will she be convinced?
Don't you have anything good to say to me?
Oh, I'm sorry.
So? When will Yoon Seo give you her answer?
I'm not sure.
But I'm not going to rush her.
Until she takes plenty of time
to think it over and answers me.
I'm going to wait for her
for as long as it takes.
She doesn't look too happy.
She's not thinking negatively
about our marriage, is she?
No, let's not do this.
Let's give her plenty of time. Yes.
But how long has it been?
It's only been an hour since I got to work?
Why is the time going by so slowly?
Si Won, do you like
drinking during the day?
Do you want to take the afternoon off
and go have some drinks?
Have you already had a drink?
What are you talking about?
I mean, it's because the
time is going by so slowly.
I want to sleep, at least, but I can't.
Let's have some drinks. Okay?
Get out, punk. I have to work.
Si Won, please hit me with this once.
What?
I'll be knocked out for a while.
Please wake me when Yoon Seo messages me.
No.
(Vice Chairman Seo Si Won)
Would this be enough to knock me out?
Gosh, you must be out of your mind.
Gosh, seriously.
Si Won.
Go away!
Go away!
- Good work, everyone.
- Good work.
- Good work.
- Good work.
Shall we go now?
Si Won, can you go camping
with me over the weekend?
Seo Ju Won, seriously
He said he was going to wait
after his proposal. Goodness.
Well, sure. I bet it's not easy.
(Wife)
Hello?
Hey, my meeting just ended.
What's up?
I'm in the lobby of your office.
I came for an urgent meeting.
"An urgent meeting?"
What urgent meeting
would you have at my office?
The secretary's office is on alert
because your photo was
posted on social media.
Mother is coming up too.
What?
You. Have you started using social media?
Well, it was on my wife's social media.
So, it was just a tiny picture, Mother.
I looked like a piece of furniture
in the background in that photo.
So, I know what you're
worried about, Mother,
but the reaction isn't
negative like it was before.
The reactions say things
like, "It's heartwarming,"
"You look approachable," and
"Everyone's lives are similar."
Something along those lines.
I will make sure not to be in photos
even if it's just in the background.
There's no need for that.
From now on, don't be in the background.
Be in the forefront.
What?
Thanks to that photo,
all the rumors about our
marriage have disappeared.
The rumors about our marriage
being fake or about us getting divorced.
What
There are even tabloid rumors
that AL Corporation will be
expanding with our reunion.
AL Corporation and the department
store's stock prices have gone up.
- Really?
- Yes.
Congratulations.
Your social media ban
has been lifted as of today.
Right, Mother?
Gosh, you don't have to do this.
I'm off.
- Yes, Mother.
- Bye.
- Are you that happy?
- A bit.
You look super happy.
Well, hearing that the company
is doing well, thanks to me,
makes me feel a stronger
sense of responsibility.
Oh, you're happy as the vice chairman?
I do everything for their sakes in the end.
But that brat, Ju Won
You're keeping a close
eye on Ju Won, right?
Well, ma'am, that is
Is something the matter?
Director Seo, I enjoyed lunch so much.
Sure.
You get along with us so easily
that I keep forgetting that
you're the chairwoman's son.
Let's talk for a minute.
Gosh. No way.
I've never seen the chairwoman so up close.
She's so charismatic, isn't she?
I was so shocked.
What on earth are you doing?
I'm going to get married.
Is that something you can decide
on your own and notify me about?
You always did that too.
I was going to tell you once
everything became clear.
I'll come home tonight.
I'll tell you in detail then.
You don't have to come.
Go to Spain.
- What?
- You said you wanted to go.
You said you wouldn't allow it.
That girl.
I heard she handed in
her letter of resignation.
I don't want to be so childish either,
but if you keep doing this, Ha Yoon Seo
will never work here or anywhere else.
Here are the materials on
financial policies in Spain.
Good job.
By the way, why Spain, all of a sudden?
And why is Director Seo going himself?
Oh, Director Seo going abroad
has come up a few times before.
Is that all?
The chairwoman wanted an arranged marriage,
but it's not going her own way.
Really? Is Director Seo Ju
Won going to Spain for good?
That's right.
The chairwoman tried
to arrange his marriage,
but I guess Director Seo had a girlfriend.
So, I think he's being sent to
Spain as if he's being exiled.
No way.
But that girlfriend is probably not
someone in the company, right?
Come on. How could she be?
No way.
Big news!
Is there something bigger
than seeing the chairwoman
from 50cm away?
Director Seo has been
appointed to the Spain office.
What? Why, all of a sudden?
The chairwoman called Ms.
Ha and told them to break up.
But since they weren't
able to break it off neatly,
I think the chairwoman is trying to
send him off to Spain out of anger.
- Seriously?
- Yes.
Figures. The chairwoman
must be pressuring him,
and Ms. Ha is only going back and forth
with how she feels about him.
Even I would want to leave the country.
As his senior in life,
I felt so bad for him
Is it true that you're going to
the Spain office?
And what will you do if he says it is true?
Do you have the courage to hold onto him?
Okay, then, I'll make up
a list of candidate artists
for the support project
and share it with you.
- Okay.
- Good.
Thank you for that day.
For listening to my story.
You listened to my story too.
Let's call it even.
Okay.
By the way,
did you know it was me who
called Seo Ju Won that day?
Really? I thought I had called him.
It was me.
You missed him so much
that you kept asking for him.
You were struggling a
lot, so I called him for you.
I was?
So, what happened to you two?
Seo Ju Won
He's transferring to the
branch office in Spain.
What?
Well, I'll be off then.
What is the problem?
I can totally see that
you two love each other,
so I can't even butt in.
Why would you guys break up?
Mr. Lee.
Do you know why Cinderella ran off
with all her might before midnight?
Do you know the reason?
What are you talking about?
It was because she didn't want
to look ugly in front of the man she loved.
Without the beautiful dress
and the cool pumpkin carriage,
she knew she'd feel so small.
I know she ran away,
but the prince visited her
with the shoe the next day,
and that totally changed her life.
What kinds of thoughts do you think
were running through her
head until the prince showed up?
From about 2am to the moment
when she saw the prince
at her door in the morning.
I bet they were the most difficult
moments in Cinderella's life.
And for me,
such difficult moments will go on
for a very long time.
Here's what I think.
If you were Cinderella,
you wouldn't just sit there
and agonize yourself at 2am.
You kept sending the proposal
even though I kept turning it down.
When someone provoked you while driving,
you shouted this. "Let's not do
this since we're both struggling."
So knowing you,
I'd say you're different
from the Cinderella we know.
If you wanted to see him,
you wouldn't hesitate
to go to his castle.
A choice where your
happiness is guaranteed
It doesn't exist, Ms. Ha Yoon Seo.
Well, I've done my job.
Gosh, I thought I was the prince.
Turns out, I'm the fairy.
I suddenly have to go
to Spain. I'm leaving now.
I'll call you once I get
things sorted out. Take care.
He's leaving today?
(I suddenly have to go
to Spain. I'm leaving now.)
The moment
I started thinking that I may
no longer have him by my side,
I was reminded of how hard he tried
to achieve the happiness
that was never guaranteed.
From now on, I'll cling to you.
Will you really break up with me?
Do you not like me anymore?
I thought
you'd also need someone
to turn to on stressful days.
Now,
all I have is you.
Let's get married.
The truth is, I wanted to give him
my answer over and over again.
Even though I knew he
was waiting for my answer,
I couldn't say anything.
It frustrated me, and I
resented myself for it.
But
if this really is my last chance
Seo Ju Won!
What
What are you doing here?
I'd never get to say this if I
didn't do it now, so I'm here.
I might want to run away
again if I lost this chance.
I've been pushing you away
because I was scared,
thinking I might not be
the right answer for you.
- Yoon Seo.
- But
I won't run away anymore.
I like you.
I can't live without you.
Am I too late?
Then it's my turn to cling to you.
From now on,
I'll cling to you.
Mr. Seo, what are you doing here?
I didn't mean to watch you.
I'm here to see Ju Won off.
Anyway, that was amusing No, I mean
I'm glad I got to witness
such a touching moment.
You can leave now, you know?
Okay, I'm leaving.
Here.
And you. Just hang in
there for the next five days.
Ju Won will be back soon.
Pardon me?
Five days?
Yes. It's too long, isn't it?
Wait. I thought you'd
be there for a long time.
No.
What? What is going on
But if you keep doing this, Ha Yoon Seo
will never work here or anywhere else.
Would you be happy if she had
nowhere to go because of you?
Why would Yoon Seo have nowhere to go?
She can come to me.
The contract with that Spanish company.
I know it's very important to you,
so I'll go.
We can talk again once I'm back.
Have a safe trip, you sad fool.
You have to get on the
plane without winning her back.
I feel so bad for you.
Whatever.
Get going. I'll head in now.
Wait. I brought you something.
You'll have a lot on your plate, so
I brought you some supplements.
Here.
This too.
Here.
Just hand them all over.
Shoot.
Goodness. Oh, no!
Seo Ju Won!
What?
All passengers for KE 213 to Madrid, Spain,
please make your way to Gate Five now.
Oh, you should head in now.
I'll be off now.
You came here thinking
I'd be there for a while?
Yes.
Do things change now that
you know I'll be back in five days?
No, of course not.
All right, then. Do not
take back what you said.
I won't.
Then promise me.
Yes, I promise.
No, not like this.
I'll have the legal team draft up
a contract and make you sign it.
Do not take back what you said.
You can't go back on your word.
Okay, I won't.
Do you love me?
Of course, I do.
You'll miss your flight.
You should head in now.
I don't want to go.
Why do I have to be away
for work at this important time?
This is the moment I've been waiting for.
I finally heard your answer.
Why do I have to leave today, of all days?
I just arrived at the hotel.
What are you up to?
Working, of course.
I can't wait to go back.
I really miss you.
(I can't wait to go
back. I really miss you.)
I miss you too.
You haven't sent me a
heart emoji in so long.
I'm sending you more hearts.
(I'm sending you more hearts.)
(I'm sending you more hearts.)
(4 days before Ju Won's return)
(Seo Ju Won)
Ye Young, look at this.
- Yes.
- This card is
- Hello?
- My meeting just ended.
What are you up to?
Oh, I'm about to go into a meeting now.
I guess you're with people now.
I wish I could go into
the meeting with you.
I really miss you so much.
I had to leave as soon
as we got back together.
It's so awful, isn't it?
Yes, I agree.
By the way, you won't
leave the company, right?
Oh, that's already been decided,
so I can't change my mind about it.
Why not?
Keep working with me. Please?
All right, then. I'll be in touch.
Gosh, seriously. You're so mean.
(3 days before Ju Won's return)
Hi, babe.
Me? I'm eating.
Ji Seok made me a rolled omelet.
Actually, you must miss Korean food.
A love shot? Oh, come on!
Yes.
My gosh, whatever. Stop it!
I hate to see her cry,
but this is worse.
(2 days before Ju Won's return)
(Day of Ju Won's return)
- Good luck!
- Best of luck!
- Good luck on your exam!
- Good luck on your exam!
(Best of luck on your
CSAT! No second chance!)
- Good luck!
- Best of luck!
- Good luck!
- You got this!
(15th District, Examination Site 3)
Ha Ji Seok, don't be intimidated.
By the way, Yoon Seo,
I have to go to college, right?
Do you have to ask me this
30 minutes before your CSAT?
If I asked you after the exam,
you'd think it's because I bombed the exam.
It's been weighing on my mind for a while.
The tuition fees are
very expensive, you know.
I don't want to waste
your hard-earned money
on something I'm not even passionate about.
Then what do you want to do?
I want to take some time
off. Say, about a year.
I want to use that time to
try out some part-time jobs
and experience this and that
to find what I really want to do.
You're all grown up now.
Yes, you don't have to feel
anxious and run aimlessly
just because everyone else is doing it.
I forced you to study
because you were a student.
I just wanted you to do your best.
Right.
Yoon Seo, I promise you
I'll become successful
and make sure you can live comfortably.
So, you have to live a long life. Okay?
I'll live to be 1,000 years old.
You'd better be ready for that.
Go on in. Call me as soon as you're done.
Okay, bye.
When did he grow up so much?
Should I come with you
when Ji Seok has his CSAT?
What?
Why would you come
when Ji Seok has his CSAT?
Just because. It's
always just the two of you,
so I wanted to tag along.
Don't worry about it.
It might make him
uncomfortable before his exam.
I suddenly miss him.
What is this? What are you doing here?
I told you I'd be here
on the day of his CSAT.
I didn't want to make him uncomfortable,
so I waited until he went inside.
I didn't want you to be
alone on a day like this.
I had to work very hard
to come here in secret and surprise you.
Really?
Yoon Seo, let's not go to work today.
- What?
- I've been waiting for this day.
The day we can be together like this.
I missed you so much when I was in Spain.
I almost lost my mind because
I really wanted to see you.
Director Seo. Snap out of it, please.
At a time like this, you
must work even harder
and never do anything others
might disapprove of. You know that.
Why are you smiling?
Well, it's been so long
since the last time
you lectured me like this.
Can you keep going?
What are you saying?
Let's go.
Okay.
Then I guess I can't skip work today.
I'll go over the things from
the trip and come to you.
Are you all right?
Don't be so upset.
How could I not be upset?
Everyone got promoted except for me.
I swear, they said I'd
get promoted this time!
I'm so depressed.
I mean
When you were the only
one who was promoted,
I understood the decision because
you were more experienced than me.
But this time,
even Ye Young has been
promoted to assistant manager.
Why did I get left out? Why?
That rich jerk.
He looked like he had a lot on his mind,
so I even took him to
the octopus restaurant.
How could he betray me like this?
You know, Director Seo
doesn't have the authority to
Yes, he does!
I'm sure 50 percent of the
decision came from him!
Ms. Ha, I'm so glad you broke up with him.
Why would you date a
two-faced jerk like him?
No, go.
What? Why?
Just get out.
Get out?
It's very tense here right now.
(It's very tense here right now.)
Why? What happened?
Mr. Bae is really upset
that he didn't get promoted.
Don't come here today.
Hang in there. Let's have
something nice for dinner.
Ji Seok is having dinner with his friend,
so I'm free this evening.
Okay.
(Vice Chairman Seo Si Won)
Vice Chairman, why don't we have lunch
Hey, you.
What's going on? What's with that outfit?
Oh, I'm going to play
tennis with Mi Jin in a bit.
She wants to take some
pictures for her social media.
Right, you're now allowed to
show your face on social media.
Well, it's no big deal.
You have to play tennis
just to take some pictures?
Right? My point, exactly.
Maybe it's just an excuse
to get a date with me.
Hey, she had Secretary
Kim drop off this outfit for me
so we'd show up in matching outfits.
My gosh. Matching outfits? How childish.
Anyway, have lunch with Yoon Seo.
I've got a date.
See you!
What is this?
Is something going on between them?
We could just meet there, but
she insisted on meeting me here.
She kept saying we should go together.
She's so persistent.
- Hey, you.
- Hi.
My gosh. It looks great on you.
Is this better?
No, this looks better.
Let's go.
Here, sir.
Why are you giving me this?
What do you think? You
should drive, husband.
Oh, she wants to go alone with me.
I should get some pictures
of you driving the car.
We're doing this to promote the new car.
Promote the new car?
That's right.
I'll see you later.
Wait.
This is
Today, we'll promote
this new car model first.
These clothes are from a new
brand at the department store, so
Do we really have to do this though?
We'll get bashed for promoting
these things so obviously.
- We won't make it obvious.
- Goodness.
You're a pro marketer.
What? Did you say I'm professional?
What?
Thanks. I hope I can
teach you a few things.
You can do it, Seo Si Won!
Nice!
How much longer must I do this for?
Turn your head a little to the left.
To the left? Like this?
Not that much. Back to the right.
- Like this?
- Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
Do it again.
Again?
Bounce the ball.
Here goes.
That's nice.
Stop!
The photos taken in the
other court look much nicer.
Let's go back there.
She got crazy artistic today.
You'd think she thinks she's Bong Joon Ho.
Hurry up.
You're right. It's much
prettier over there.
(This Year's CSAT, Easier Than Last Year)
Is the atmosphere still dark over there?
(Ji Seok)
Hi, Ji Seok.
I was looking up the CSAT in the news.
It was easier this year. Did you do well?
Yes, I did.
Marking the answers, I mean.
The paper was pretty fancy.
Oh, right. I was going to
meet Seok Hyun for dinner,
but his nerves made him
ill and he took a rain check.
- What?
- Are you that pleased?
You got upset I was meeting a
friend on such an important day.
Are you excited my plans fell through?
I want meat for dinner. Where shall we go?
Oh, well
Here. It's nicely cooked.
My goodness.
You've been through so
much, and I'm so proud of you.
Thanks.
Here. Open wide.
I didn't study that much.
- Me?
- Yes. Come on.
Good job, friend.
It must've been hard looking after
a kid when you were a kid yourself.
Yoon Seo, have a drink.
Well done, seriously.
Now that Ji Seok is grown up,
you can do whatever you want.
Yes, Yoon Seo. Stop worrying about me
and spend all the time you want with Wimp.
Wait. Does Ji Seok know he proposed to you?
- He proposed?
- For real?
What happened was
You're cowering again.
Do you feel like cringing
whenever his name comes up?
What's wrong?
Well
I thought you'd need
someone to lean on that day,
and that's why I called Wimp.
I'm okay with you getting back with him,
but I didn't think you'd
discuss marriage already.
Thinking of how intimidated
you'd feel in that house
Did you give an answer?
I'm sure Seo Ju Won
will be a good go-between.
Hey, bring him over one day.
I'll put him in his place so
no one looks down on you.
Yes, that's right.
To be honest, I'm as good as family to you.
That makes me his mother-in-law.
- What?
- I'll be the father-in-law, then.
I'll make him pay.
You're the brother-in-law.
I'm the father-in-law.
Let's work on putting
the rich heir in his place.
- We can do this.
- Yes, we can!
What are you talking about?
Who will you put in his place?
Goodness.
I'm the father-in-law.
Are you enjoying the party?
Can I join you?
- Let's not shy away.
- Uncle.
Sorry. The atmosphere's a bit off today.
(Director Seo Ju Won)
The atmosphere there is off too?
Hey.
Seok Hyun feels better now.
Can we go to an Internet cafe?
For real? Seok Hyun's okay?
That's great.
Were you that worried about him?
You bet I was. He's your friend.
- Go ahead.
- Okay.
Shall we wrap up the party?
Yes, honey. I'm about to hail a taxi.
The party ended sooner than I thought.
Yes. Where shall we meet?
Shall we meet there for
spicy braised monkfish?
Okay.
Let's mix soju and beer today.
Hang on.
(Chief No Ye Young)
Ye Young's calling.
I'll call you right back. Bye.
Hello, Ye Young. What's up?
Ms. Ha, I need your help.
Mr. Bae's saying he wants to quit.
- What?
- Stay!
He's so upset that he didn't get promoted.
He won't even let me go home.
Oh, no, you don't. Are you insane?
He's saying he'll post all
about you and the director
- on our company website.
- Seo Ju Won.
He wants to get back at
Seo Ju Won and go down too.
What?
What's wrong with you?
Why are you climbing a tree?
Okay. I'll be right there.
The response is much
better than we thought.
People are asking what you
wore and what camera you used.
Good.
Aren't you hungry?
I want some hot soup.
How about kalguksu with
Manila clams and geotjeori?
No. We're having dinner at your hotel.
You hired a Michelin chef from
Italy and opened a new restaurant.
Your PR Team asked me to eat there.
Did they?
Okay. Let's go.
Okay.
What's the matter? Is he tired?
I could drive.
No, it's fine.
Okay. Thanks.
(On left-turn signal)
What got into you?
Let's eat kalguksu.
You need to take photos at the hotel.
I changed my mind.
There's a famous kalguksu
place at the market nearby.
I think I posted enough for the day.
Let's eat in peace.
Shall we drink makgeolli too?
Well, I guess we could.
What's the point in working like mad?
- I can't reach the next level.
- Goodness
Ms. Ha.
- Why did you drink so much?
- Hello.
Hey, did you call for a driver?
Yes, I did.
Do you need my help?
I can drive.
- And I'll never get promoted.
- I apologize.
- I'm sorry.
- Let's go. He's drunk.
What is the matter with you?
You don't get me, do you?
Because Ye Young You got promoted!
Ms. Ha. Does this even make sense?
She never works and always
shops, and she got promoted!
What? I don't always shop.
I worked really hard and
shopped in my free time.
I was good at spotting trends
and came up with all the ideas.
I got acknowledged for that.
I know that.
Darn it! I can't take it anymore!
I'm a skilled worker that
even the Planning Team wants.
Is that my fault? Is it?
(Seo Ju Won)
I need to take the call. Sorry.
(Ox tripe, Pork Belly)
Hi.
Mr. Bae's very drunk.
He must be very distressed.
Why wasn't he promoted
when he was eligible?
I didn't sign off on it.
Why? Mr. Bae seems like a slacker,
but you know how hard he works.
I know.
So I recommended him
for the manager position.
What?
You insisted on leaving
and that leaves a vacancy.
I was going to give him your job.
But no one knows you resigned.
I thought it would be okay
if I told him a few days later.
So that's what happened.
That's good to know.
I'll sort things out here.
Don't worry too much.
Okay.
We can meet today, right?
You bet. Hang in there for me.
I will.
Enjoy your meal.
Gosh.
This is delicious. How
do you know this place?
I'm in distribution and logistics
and market research is a must.
Yes, that's right.
This is the first time I can relax and eat.
And it's my first time
drinking makgeolli from a kettle like this.
It's so much fun. It's cute.
Then
Take a photo.
Forget it.
Did you notice I haven't
taken a photo here?
Didn't you?
I didn't. I want to so
bad, but I'm holding back.
Because you look sick of taking photos.
I wasn't sick of it. Just hurt.
I'd gotten excited about
our first date outdoors.
But you seemed to think of it only as work.
What? Do you like me?
What are you talking about?
You say all sorts of darned things.
Yes, I do. Am I drunk already?
Do you want another drink?
Yes, why not?
To tell the truth, I took
lots of photos today
because I thought you were enjoying it.
What?
You seemed to like posting on social media.
Our stock prices went up, and
your mother seemed pleased too.
So I did all that thinking
I was doing you a favor.
I went too far.
I must've had too much to drink.
Let's go home.
Wait up.
Excuse me. Coming through.
What do I do?
It sounds weird to say this
when we're already married but
I think
I fell for you.
Hi, Mom.
Was I promoted?
Yes.
Of course.
I'll get a raise too.
Right now, I'm with
my teammates who are celebrating with me.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Should I just tell him?
No, this is a personnel issue.
Ju Won should tell him.
Here you go.
Oh. Thank you.
What the heck?
Don't.
Darn you!
How dare you come here?
Did you come to laugh
at my tear-stained face?
No. I came because I was concerned.
Concerned? You?
- I will
- Stop him.
Give you some final advice.
You punk.
Don't mistreat people who work for you!
Stop it! That's enough!
I'm leaving soon,
and you'll replace me as manager.
What?
You tell him, sir.
I should've told you sooner,
but it was tied to Ms. Ha's resignation.
I didn't promote you so you
could replace Ms. Ha after she left.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
I'm sorry.
We're alone at last.
It was such a long, rough day.
It was.
I'd never waited for someone
for this long in my life.
I think I spent the last few
days doing nothing but wait.
I waited for an answer from you,
and for the day to see you again.
And for us to go on a date.
What shall we do?
I don't mind. Let's do what you want.
(Secretary Seo Dong Hwa)
We won't be disturbed again, will we?
I hope not?
Forget it. I just won't pick up.
What if something urgent came up at work?
Pick up.
Hello?
Oh, really?
Sorry for making you wait.
I'm done. Shall we go?
Is this where you've been staying?
Yes.
I'll move back home.
Don't worry.
I'm not worried.
I just feel bad.
I see
you put up with a lot of things
and struggled through stuff to be with me.
Thank you
for waiting.
I thank you more
for coming back.
I missed you.
I came to return the money you gave me.
You seem to be mistaken.
Now that I'm back with
you, I'll go straight ahead.
- Ta-da.
- My goodness.
Dear
Who's calling you "dear?"
Are you sure this is for and about me?
I feel so very uncomfortable.
Do you have a first love? Well, so do I.
Someone I loved so deeply.
Isn't this jealousy?
Can't you just approve of us?
I want to be happy now.
