Pirates!

Attack!

When he was a little boy, Dae Ju was his favorite friend.

And the person he loved the most was his mother.

Mom.

- Did you have fun? - Mom.

Mom is angry.

Ms. Choi. Ms. Lee.

How is Min Ik's birthday party planning going?

- We're working on it, Ma'am. - We're working on it, Ma'am.

What did you say you wanted for your birthday?

A boat.

He thought it was going to be an awesome birthday party.

(Happy 7th birthday, Do Min Ik!)

Until he saw the real boat.

Here. You can have it.

I'm tired of it now.

Really?

Then what should I do with that?

Then let's use it as our secret place.

When we have secrets we want to share with each other,

let's meet at There, Boat There.

Okay.

(Episode 2: What Happens When You Don't Recognize Your Parents?)

Seriously!

Ms. Jeong.

Help...

Save me, please.

What? Why...

Why should I...

Min Ik!

Ms. Jeong.

Wait a second!

Okay, go, go!

Min Ik.

Min Ik!

What... What's wrong?

What?

Is it back?

Yes, I came back because I felt so upset.

Right? It's back, right?

No, I'm not back for you.

I'm back to clear my name.

I'm back to clear my name! Not to see you get undressed!

- My dress shirt. - Okay.

Darn it.

Are you allowed to leave the hospital?

I need to go somewhere.

Me too.

Hello.

Where to?

- Tanhyun Studio. - Yeongdeungpo Police Station.

Have you ever seen me miss an appointment?

Have you ever seen a secretary who got fired go to work?

We need to go to the police station and clear my name first.

Then get out of the car. I'll meet you there after work.

What if you don't come?

Then get in.

Are you going to stay or leave?

You promised to go to the police right after the shoot, okay?

I won't run away, so just...

Director Do.

Who is she?

Gosh, it's Eul Wang Lee.

I mean, it's Ms. Lee Eul Wang.

That's her?

What are we going to do?

She was even supposed to come...

to my goodbye party yesterday because she heard I got fired.

Gal Hee, what are you doing here?

Well, the thing is, I kind of had a situation.

- What about you? Why are you here? - What?

Oh, well, the director called my team...

because he couldn't reach neither Director Do nor you.

Are you okay, Director Do?

Yes, I'm okay.

You're here.

Who is he?

Who do you think? He's the video director.

Hello. Why didn't you answer any of my calls?

Everyone's waiting for you inside.

Well...

I'll be waiting for you outside.

Don't go.

From now on,

stay by my side...

no matter what happens, okay?

My face is like an apple

It's so pretty

I have sparkly eyes, a sparkly nose

And a sparkly mouth

- Okay. - What's this?

Good job.

Director Do, please stand next to Da Young.

- Who is it? - Pardon?

Who's Da Young?

Why are you asking me that?

Da Young, please raise your hand.

Yes, ma'am!

It's her.

Why do you keep asking me who people are?

You're normally so good at remembering people's faces.

Okay, let's give it one more try.

You know what to do, right? Okay, let's go.

My face is like a cucumber

Why does she keep calling me?

It's so long

I'm sorry, but I can't talk right now.

Are you in a detention center, or did you just go missing?

There are so many rumors about what happened to you.

What took you so long to answer your phone?

It's more like I'm taken hostage.

Okay, great job.

You guys, this is really going to be the last time.

Get to your positions.

I need to get to my senses.

I need to get to my senses.

Director Do?

My gosh!

Director Do, where are you going?

The doors are opening.

The doors are closing.

Are you purposely trying to make me have a hard time?

Didn't I... Didn't I tell you to stay right by my side?

Why are you angry at me?

Gosh, why are you sweating so much?

What is this?

What do you think? I'm Ms. Jeong, the one who got fired yesterday.

The Jeong Gal Hee you fired with a smile on your face.

I'm Jeong Gal Hee, the famous minion of TnT Mobile!

Yes, I know that!

Secretary Jeong.

Why are you the only one who doesn't change?

Yes, you're right.

I got fired,

but I'm still being patient and helping you out.

I can't believe I just wiped the sweat off your face.

The doors are opening.

Dr. Gu.

I need to meet Dr. Gu first.

I knew you'd do this.

It's time to go see a detective, not a doctor. You promised.

Your name, please.

Do Min Ik.

Do Min Ik.

(Call 112 to report a crime.)

It's either 1 of the 2.

Either the world is going crazy...

- Address, please. - Seocho-dong, Seoul.

Or I'm crazy.

Excuse me. You're not him.

I'm asking him questions. Why do you keep answering?

I'm sorry. But...

He has trouble memorizing his own address.

Excuse me, sir.

Who were you supposed to meet at the site of the incident?

My friend.

But he didn't show up for some reason.

Without even calling you?

He didn't exactly need to call...

because we're close enough to understand.

I see.

You said you saw the criminal's face, right?

Yes.

I definitely saw his face.

Do you think you'll be able to recognize him?

How did it go?

Okay.

I'll go see you tomorrow, sir.

(Boss)

Even right now, I remember his face vividly...

as if he's right next to me.

Here's the CCTV footage.

Okay, let's see.

It was really dark by the dock, so nothing got caught on camera.

This one is a footage from the parking lot.

Look.

It's him.

The guy wearing a black outfit and a black hat.

I can't see his face at all.

- Rewind it a little. - Okay.

Stop.

What's this? You guys came in a group?

Well...

The secretaries overate.

So we wanted to work out. Look.

A golf club, a baseball bat...

They're all for sports.

What about that jokbal?

It's a great replacement for dumbbells.

What... What is she saying?

- Zoom in. - Okay.

"I'm going to kill him."

- She said "I'm going to kill him." - What?

Kill? Whom?

Me?

I meant it's a killer view...

and that I'm in such a good mood.

Let's not focus on this and continue watching the footage.

Stop right there.

Who's that?

What? Can't you tell who it is?

Who is that?

Your colleague and best friend.

The friend you were there to meet.

Dae Ju?

11:53pm?

He was already there when you arrived.

Then where did he go without meeting you first?

Not even a friend can be trusted.

(Honest and energetic Yeongdeungpo Police)

Secretary Jeong, how did you know about There?

Boat There is Dae Ju and my secret hide-out place.

There's no such place...

that is still only kept between you two.

Every one of yours and Director Gi's secretaries...

know about Boat There.

I'm exhausted, so let's head home for now.

Right, I should go home.

Me, not you.

I'm tired, so take me home.

You have money...

and you also have your own car.

There's only one thing you don't have though.

As if that's possible.

A secretary.

I did go there to kill you.

You fired me even after all the work I put in.

I thought of my mom,

and it just made me so angry.

Still, I ended up saving your life.

This is my final act as your secretary.

I wasn't in a good place...

to formally bid farewell when you fired me.

Thank you for everything,

Director Do.

Wait...

And here I thought you had finally moved out.

Uncle...

It's you, right?

Uncle?

Not exactly.

We're not actually related by blood.

Nonetheless, we did swap saliva though.

Since I was seven, we ate soups and stews...

out of the same bowl.

Chirping like a cuckoo, are you?

Don't call him that.

Min Ik is my son whom I gave birth to.

Are you even trying to fool yourself now?

You took him in while your husband was alive,

so you've done more than enough.

We let him take over for our dad,

but he ran off with some young cow.

Are you announcing how much of a fool I am?

Are you deliberately looking away?

[VIU Ver] SBS E03 'The Secret Life of My Private Secretary' "Director Do's Prosopagnosia" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Why must it be that face, Mom?

You seem like...

the stranger I met...

on my first day here.

Are you sick?

Of course not.

It'd be wrong of me to fall ill again.

I wouldn't do that to those...

who took care of me when I could barely stand on my feet.

Our goal is...

to conceal how we're not blood-related.

My role is to be a good mother to you...

while your role is to be the perfect son now.

Don't forget that.

It's the only reason I'm letting you stay in this family.

I have...

nothing but gratitude.

Also, I dearly...

love you, Mom.

Aren't you sick and tired of this game of 20 years?

Do Min Ik, male, 34.

In 1992, to treat his congenital giant aneurysm,

an urolift was performed on him at this hospital.

There weren't any complications after the surgery,

but he came in with a head trauma yesterday.

It so happens that...

the inserted clip is right by the brain's facial recognition system.

Eight.

Nine.

Five, butterfly.

Your vision is normal.

Everything else seems to be normal too.

Now, take a good look at his face.

Choose the man with the same face.

What?

Did I get it wrong?

You think they're the same person?

- Be loyal. - Be loyal!

Are they not?

You probably thought so because they're in similar outfits.

Can't you recognize faces at all?

At first,

it was only a few people.

Now, it's with everyone.

Actually,

all but one.

Who? Is it a family member?

A friend?

You can't recognize your own mother,

so who's the person you can recognize?

My strict former boss taught me how to be patient,

and this item of clothing represents my passion for...

How old are you?

I'm 29.

Is this HR's idea of a joke?

I told them to hire those 26 or younger!

Sorry?

Well,

it was nice to meet you.

Sir, hang on.

Is it because of my age?

You know very well...

that the secretary is the face of an office.

Dashing, slender,

and young and sweet. That's how you should be.

Look at how dry and boring you seem.

Sir.

Which university did you graduate?

Me?

Harvard University.

How old are you?

I was born in 1958.

What time do you get off work?

It differs.

I work late often too.

Wait. What on earth is this?

I'm conducting an interview of my own.

- What? - It's not just for secretaries.

From now on, I'll check if my future boss...

is competent, good-natured, and has good conduct...

before I work for him or her.

How dare you insolent...

An executive is the face of a company,

so he should be slender and...

Come back here.

I'd rather work with someone fit and dashing too!

Come back here. Get back!

I hope I didn't wound his ego.

It's nice to say what's on my mind,

but I feel a little guilty.

Could this be another job interview?

Hello.

This is the inpatient ward of Sangmo Hospital.

The patient won't answer his phone,

so I called you as you're his guardian.

So this is the part that will be operated on.

This is where the clip that blocked your brain aneurysm is.

And this is...

the part that is in charge of face recognition.

This is just an assumption,

but I think, when you fell,

the clip slipped by the external shock,

narrowing the blood vessel connected to the face recognition part.

So...

is this some kind of a disease then?

Prosopagnosia.

It's caused by a malfunction of the brain part...

that is in charge of face recognition.

Do you think that I'm blind or something?

You might not recognize the faces of the people you know...

and the face you saw just a second ago might look strange...

after a blink.

When it gets worse, all the people look...

All the people what?

Never mind.

That's a rare case.

And since the result of your brain vessel test wasn't bad,

it's too early to judge anything. Let's wait a few more days.

There are many people...

who temporarily show the symptoms, but soon get well naturally.

Right.

I should get back to normal soon.

Who are you?

Gosh, you're really mad at me.

You must be really mad at me. How could you pretend you don't know me?

You didn't even answer your phone.

Fine. I'm mad at you.

What happened yesterday?

I tried to call you I couldn't come,

but you wouldn't answer your phone.

But you came.

What?

You came.

Did you check the CCTV or what?

Actually, I almost went in,

but then I left because Secretary Lee got in trouble.

Secretary Lee?

It's a long story.

I'm sorry.

Dae Ju.

You don't keep any secrets from me, do you?

I do.

What is it?

Later.

I'll tell you at There.

What about you? You don't keep any secrets from me, right?

I think I have one. We can talk about it at There.

Oh, right. Do you really still not need a driver?

I prefer a bicycle.

Why do you suddenly ask that?

I think I need to find a driver urgently.

What a nice coincidence.

The father of my former driver passed away...

and I'm going to his funeral today.

I'll ask around there.

Yes, Do Min Ik speaking.

Hello, this is General Manager Kim from the art center.

I didn't hear anything from Secretary Jeong.

I was wondering if you were not coming to the opening.

Right. I'll be there on time.

Okay, Sir.

Wait.

May I ask...

what my mother is wearing today?

What she's wearing?

She's wearing just a normal black jacket.

And she's wearing a floral shawl on it.

Ms. Sim.

How about switching these two?

That sounds good.

Okay. Thank you.

A floral shawl. A floral shawl.

Hey! Come over here!

Are you okay?

Are you okay? Stand up.

There you go.

Hey! Wait for me!

What was that?

A floral shawl.

Please excuse me for a second.

You're here.

I'm here.

Congratulations on the exhibition.

I love you, as always.

Who are you?

What's wrong with him?

It's a sexual harassment.

Min Ik, what was that just now?

Min Ik.

He's an executive of a mobile company.

Why is he not getting a new phone already? Gosh.

You said I would go back to normal. You said it was temporary!

What?

Isn't it Director Do's voice?

Have the symptoms gotten worse?

They're gone.

People's faces are not just changing.

They totally disappeared.

I hoped it wouldn't get there.

Doctor. What's happening to me?

You promised me when I was seven.

You promised...

there would be no problem with my brain anymore!

As it's deteriorating rapidly,

it's highly likely to be chronic.

Then give me a medication.

Why?

It can't be solved by medications?

Then do I need injections?

Do I need another surgery?

You fraud!

Medications can heal anything.

Surgeries can fix anything!

Dr. Park said he had met...

patients like you in the United States.

He's coming back in a few days. Let's see what we can do then.

Don't you remember?

You're a survivor from a very dangerous surgery that could have...

taken your life, when you were seven.

I don't want...

to be a survivor.

I don't want to pretend like I'm not sick.

I don't want to do any of that.

So get me better again.

If you do that,

I'll give you my money,

my clothes,

and everything else...

I'll give you everything you want.

So just make me see people's faces again!

(Episode 4 will air shortly.)

You haven't found it yet?

We're checking the cars that have been parked for a long period...

through dash cameras.

By the way,

I would like to meet that person.

I told you it's not Dae Ju.

Please make it quick.

I will catch the person who did this to me. I'll ask him...

why he did that and what he wanted.

I need to see that person's face.

Why don't you get in?

To which floor are you going?

Could you press the button to the rooftop?

Rooftop.

37th floor.

Who is it?

Who are you to come into my room without permission?

It's me. Director Gi's secretary, Lee Eul Wang.

You do recognize my face, right?

I didn't get much sleep last night.

By the way,

what brings you here in the middle of the night?

Because of the joint meeting next week.

Usually, Gal Hee and I set the date according to your schedule,

but I couldn't hear anything about your schedule.

My apologies.

I'll send it to you right away.

I heard you postponed the secretary interviews.

I...

I had a situation.

I think you should find one soon.

The president election is just around the corner.

It'll be hard on your own.

(Personal Contract, Jeong Gal Hee)

Secretary...

Experience...

Sir!

Oh, no.

Why would he just pass me?

They said if I don't get any answer by today, it means I didn't get it.

What is this?

Money?

Did you finally see how poor my life was?

Did you finally decide to change my fate?

This is a lot of money.

What is this?

I know you are fired.

Therefore I command you to have a compulsory holiday.

Rule number one. Don't work.

Rule number two. Don't work until you use all the money here.

Jeong Jung Hee!

What is this?

I wanted it to be done quietly, but I messed it up.

This is obviously a handwriting of a blind person.

This can't be a handwriting of a sighted person!

You do nothing but loaf around. Where did you get the money...

No way.

Did you do the part-time massage job again?

I told you not to do it.

I hate it...

when you massage other people's body...

until your wrists turn black and blue.

Do you know why Nam Hee didn't make it?

Are you sure she didn't?

Yes. And it's because of you.

Because of me?

She didn't make it, so you can take a break.

You have been living a hard life to earn her tuition.

Now, you can take some rest.

- I don't care how I live... - Listen.

From now on,

use this money as if it's toilet papers.

This is not toilet paper.

It's your blood, sweat, and bruises.

All right, then.

Let's go...

somewhere else then.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You have no idea how blessed you are to have vision.

Toilet papers belong to...

No way. You're not...

Stop!

You might want to see it as you're a blind person,

but as a sighted person, it's a horrible thing to see...

Make sure to be home late.

Nam Hee.

Well done.

Gosh.

Seriously.

Gosh.

(Jeong Gal Hee, I know you're fired. Therefore I command you to have...)

(a compulsory holiday. Rule number 1. Don't work.)

"I command you to have a compulsory holiday."

Okay, fine. Let's have fun.

I'll do that.

I know how to have fun.

I'll spend all this money to the last penny today.

See you.

Really? You're at Daehangno?

I envy you for getting fired, Gal Hee.

You're able to watch plays whenever you want now.

Gal Hee, I need to follow President Sim...

to his dinner appointment.

Gosh, of course, you do.

You just had to be busy on the day we agreed to meet.

But...

is it always so empty like this on weekdays?

Hello, Director Do. You're here...

Yes, I'm here.

Gosh.

Did you...

buy all the tickets?

I didn't want to be around anyone.

This is why people don't like being around you as well.

Enjoy the play.

No, wait.

I'm not here to watch the play.

Then why are you here?

I'm here to see you.

Me?

Why?

Secretary Jeong, congratulations!

I decided...

to hire you back.

(Employment Contract)

Get lost!

You begged me to hire you, but now you want me to get lost?

You fired me with a smile, and now you're congratulating me?

That was just a small misunderstanding.

What are your conditions?

I'll add them as much as possible on the contract.

Then...

is it okay if I interview you?

What? You want to do what?

Why did you come back for me?

Why do you suddenly want me back after having me fired?

Well, that's because...

I realized once you were gone...

that you were...

that kind of person to me.

"That kind of person"?

What kind of person?

Someone...

important?

Someone grateful?

Or maybe...

Someone precious?

You're someone convenient.

Am I a loan service or something?

Or am I a toilet that flushes on its own once you get up?

How can you call a human being convenient?

Isn't that a pretty amazing compliment?

Convenient...

is a word you would use to describe a remote control.

A remote control you throw away once it breaks!

You should go.

I decided to no longer suppress my feelings.

And right now, I'm enjoying my holiday.

A holiday?

Do you know why this is green?

That's because my brother...

worked so hard to earn this money until his wrists turned green.

And a guy like that forced me...

to go on a holiday...

and told me to have some fun.

So I'm going to have the time of my life.

I'm not going to care about what others might think or feel...

and just do and say whatever I want.

I'm going to sleep if I'm sleepy...

and wake up whenever I want to.

Go home safely.

I won't see you off.

[VIU Ver] SBS E04 'The Secret Life of My Private Secretary' "Secretary Jeong's Holiday" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

I love playing the most

Gather around, my friends

Nam Hee, should we go to Hawaii?

What a joke.

What's wrong with her?

That's 1, 2, 3 zeros.

How about Jeju Island?

That must be the chicken.

Director Do?

I'm here to get interviewed one more time.

I couldn't properly answer...

your question earlier because I was too nervous.

That's a huge pity.

But Director Do, you already failed the interview.

Can't you give me a second chance?

No.

Really? No?

Don't even get your hopes up.

What do you want me to do?

Having hope...

is the only thing I can do.

Gal Hee.

You're the only one I can see.

The faces of every single person I know...

all disappeared from my head.

I can't even see my mom or Dae Ju.

But for some reason,

you're the only one I can see.

Let's take a look at the first hotel!

You've all heard of it, right?

Here. Put it on top of this.

Jung Hee.

Is that why you were like that at the hospital?

Apparently, it could get worse.

I might...

not ever get better.

I can't tell apart those who are looking at me.

Are they laughing or crying?

Are they friend or foe?

That's why you are someone...

I desperately need.

Because I can't tell apart anything.

Spend that holiday of yours...

with me.

What's this?

(The Best Jokbal, Darn My Foot)

It's a bribe.

(The Best Jokbal, Darn My Foot)

You are someone...

I desperately need.

Unbelievable.

It's not like...

that would persuade me.

What are you two doing out here?

What is it?

What?

You startled me!

- She got in. - What?

Nam Hee got in!

Really? For real?

- Nam Hee did it! - Gal Hee!

- Our Nam Hee did it. - Jung Hee!

Did she get in?

Gal Hee, will you pay for my tuition?

What?

Life always tests us.

I'll study hard...

and eradicate our lowly status.

I'll wash my life clean...

from being a slave and a lowlife.

I'll become the woman of power that you've always wanted me to be.

And come back like a heroine.

Thank you, Gal Hee.

Thank you so much.

Jung Hee, gosh.

A life with breaks?

A life with free time?

That has never been allowed.

That's why...

We're sold out!

That's why our lives have been tough.

The assistants of TnT Mobile...

weren't allowed even the shortest breaks.

However, we now have a waiting room of our own!

(Drivers' Waiting Room)

(One moment of patience may ward off great disaster)

For the first time since being founded...

If it weren't for Ms. Lee,

a waiting room would never have been given...

to temporary employees like us.

She served both Chairman Do and Director Gi...

and is the only full-time secretary at this company.

Eul Wang Lee is her nickname because she is...

the Queen of Subordinates.

Anyway, we have now put an end to all those sorrows.

Gal Hee really wanted to see this place finally open.

If she comes back, she'll be solidifying her status as a minion.

Let's raise our glasses...

on this exciting day.

One moment of patience...

- may ward off great disaster. - May ward off great disaster!

Director Do.

Dae Ju, is that you?

Who else would it be?

Stop playing jokes on me.

Let's meet at There tonight at 9pm.

I think I should tell you what I was going to say that day.

Also, I left a gift for you in your office.

- What? - Get excited a little.

I'm sure you'll love it.

Good morning, Director Do!

You startled me.

So...

Does this mean you're back?

It is currently 12°C in Seoul.

The fine dust is at 20 micrograms which is relatively low.

TnT Mobile's stock price...

rose 1.73 percent in comparison to yesterday.

Blueberry yogurt and a cup of flat white for your breakfast.

All media teams are scheduled for a joint meeting at 2pm.

- Should we sign the contract first? - No, we should shake hands.

Congratulations on getting back to me.

He's here.

Sir,

take a look at this.

This man.

It's him, isn't it?

There sure is no one to trust in this world.

Who is he?

He's your new driver.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Do Min Ik.

It's nice to meet you too.

I'm Eun Jung Su.

Well, good luck to the three of us then!

Go, go!

(The Secret Life of My Secretary)

You'll go on a blind date.

What exactly do you look like?

I'm Veronica Park, President of Cinepark.

75 percent of all murderers...

are the victims' acquaintances.

- Who are you? - The police, sir.

On the 13th, 9pm, Kingdom Hotel.

I'm Veronica Park.

- I'm Gi Dae Ju of TnT Mobile. - Gi Dae Ju?

Once I'm cured,

I will immediately terminate our contract.
