Original subtitles

This very moment.

- Does it taste good? - Yes.

I think this is much more tastier...

than amuse-bouche.

My tongue is melting, and my throat is excited.

My stomach is happy.

Then have some more.

By the way, how did you convince President Sim?

We starved for days, but he never even budged.

Let's finish this first.

You're eating porridge.

Hello, sir.

I talked to Eul Wang over the phone.

And I just met Dae Ju.

And I filed your resignation like you asked me to.

Thanks, Uncle Hae Yong.

I should be the one thanking you.

Everything will be easy from now on...

now that you've decided to give up on becoming the president.

What's that supposed to mean?

You gave up on becoming the president?

That crazy punk.

You gave up...

on becoming the president just so you could feed me?

Let's talk after you finish eating this.

No, I don't want to eat!

Who says you could give up on becoming the president?

Who says you could yield that position to him?

You can be angry at me.

But have another bite first.

Sir.

Director Do isn't going to give up on becoming the president,

so please forget about it.

- Stop it. - No.

I don't care if I faint or die.

I'll go on a hunger strike again, so forget about what he said.

Secretary Jeong.

What's with the sudden romance in this dreary office?

But I'm sorry to say...

I prefer genres with a big twist that include...

betrayal and conspiracies.

It's like I had indigestion for 30 years because of you,

but it's all finally...

Going down.

Why did you do that?

Who told you to do this?

I wouldn't have been able to come this far...

if it weren't for you anyway.

What kind of a boss are you?

You should be using your secretary to become the president.

What kind of a boss...

gives up on becoming the president because of his secretary?

I didn't give up because of my secretary.

I gave up because of you.

Being loved is no fun.

Being loved isn't any good. It's only making me feel upset.

President Sim is the one who made Mr. Eun turn out that way...

and forced the secretaries to sign illegal contracts.

How could you let a guy like him become the president?

Do you really think I wouldn't have thought that far?

President Sim, did you hear?

I was at the meeting room earlier...

My goodness, thank you for congratulating me beforehand.

You must've heard that Min Ik decided not to run for president.

Well, yes. I know about that.

But a new candidate applied just before the deadline.

What do you mean?

(TnT Mobile President)

You want me to apply for the presidency?

You should do it.

What? I already handed in my resignation letter.

And my name is on the disciplinary committee list.

You wouldn't have resigned if it weren't for me.

And I'll do whatever I can...

to prevent you from getting disciplined.

Here. It's the exclusive contract you gave me.

I haven't used this yet. So...

- Min Ik. - Dae Ju.

All you need is six votes.

You've already secured two votes which is ours.

If Do Min Ik gets five votes, it's a tie with Sim Hae Yong.

Then there will be a revote at the board meeting two weeks later.

- My mom won't vote for you. - Am I right?

But she won't vote for Uncle Hae Yong either.

So she'll withdraw.

Those who want Director Do to be the president-elect,

please raise your hand.

Director Kim and Director Yang...

won't ever vote for my uncle.

They've been supporting my dad ever since he was alive.

I'll abstain from voting.

Director Choi.

Director Choi only withdrew because of my illness.

There was never a time when he didn't vote for me.

So he'll come around if I tell him that I'll be supporting you.

That's already five votes.

Now, the variables are...

Director Kwak and Director Woo who are always very fickle.

But they're always for whatever that makes them money.

So I'm sure at least one of them...

will get swayed by this contract.

Why are you...

trying so hard to make me become the president?

I'm doing this to repay for your mother's death.

That's a plausible reason.

And I kind of think you might do a better job than me.

That's my hidden intention.

President Sim.

You haven't gotten rid of him yet?

That punk is unbelievable.

My gosh, are you guys on your way to have rice soup again?

We just had brunch...

with Director Kwak.

- Didn't we? - Yes.

He seemed very interested...

in what we had.

We're planning to meet Director Woo tomorrow, aren't we?

Yes, that's right.

I hope you're all nice to Director Gi.

I'll see you at the board meeting.

Today's really hot outside. You guys should have cold noodles...

instead of rice soup.

I hope you guys enjoy your meals.

My gosh, darn it.

Hey.

What's with that attitude?

I don't know.

Maybe I'm upset that someone else is going to become the president.

Dae Ju will do a good job.

The secretaries are right.

Other people can be the president other than the owner's family.

Unlike other company owners, Dae Ju never started at the top.

He got to where he is now by working hard from the bottom.

So he'll understand the employees better than anyone.

Right?

But still...

It would've been nice if you had discussed it with me beforehand.

Did you see that?

Hey.

When did it come back?

It was really cool.

It actually got better once I kept stroking it.

To be honest,

I'm also a little upset about the entire situation.

So how about you stroke me?

Then I think I'll be able to feel a whole lot better.

That's weird.

I'm getting better.

I'm all better.

How do I look?

Are you serious?

You should be asking your boyfriend, not me.

I'm showing it to you first...

before I show my boyfriend.

I don't want him to find out...

that I'm even thinking about...

marrying him.

But I think...

it's a bit too sexy. Don't you agree?

Do you think it'll be better to look modest and innocent...

when I'm standing next to Dae Ju?

My sister would look so pretty in this.

Can I take one?

- Is your sister getting married? - I guess she will.

With Director Do Min Ik?

He recently went on a trip with my family, and we slept together there.

What's so great about her that she always goes ahead of me?

I'll take this one.

Hey, do you even know how much it is?

It's the only Vera Wang's dress in this country.

Then you can buy one more in another country.

Can't you afford to do that?

Of course I can.

Don't you dare underestimate me, Veronica Park.

Here. Take them.

There are only one pair of them in this country.

I can buy some more in another country.

You gave up getting married and becoming the president.

How long do I have to put up with you?

It's not that I won't become the president.

Having been through the issues about the secretaries,

I realized that I was so ignorant of corporate management.

When I feel that I'm fully qualified,

I'll try it again.

That's not how you play house.

It's just over if one of you quits.

You don't get it? I'm telling you to move out.

Can I...

stay here?

What?

If you don't like it, I won't have a choice.

But I want to pester you for the last time.

I've never done it for the past 27 years.

I just wish you'd listen for once.

I...

want to stay here.

If you're okay with it.

How does she look? Is she pretty?

How pretty is she?

Maybe that's because I was on hunger strike.

I guess I lost some weight.

I don't think I look so bad.

Are you sure this is one of the props for a film?

It looks quite expensive.

Actually, I got it from Veronica Park's office.

- Hey! - Gosh, I'm startled.

What?

Take it off immediately. Now.

Gosh.

Secretary Jeong?

My gosh.

Secretary Jeong, is it you?

I told you to lock up the door.

Well... The thing is...

Hello, my brother-in-law.

Who's your brother-in-law?

If someone who buys me beef isn't my brother-in-law,

who in this world would be?

By the way,

what are you doing here?

Well...

I guess my mom wants to be alone tonight.

So I got out.

You can sleep over.

I'll go get changed then.

Don't take it off yet.

Please take a picture of us.

We can do that later.

[VIU Ver] SBS E31 'The Secret Life of My Private Secretary' "Min Ik Gives Up on Becoming the President" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Please make sure our mom, dad, and the family motto...

will be in the photo.

Okay.

1, 2, and 3.

I'll go get changed then.

Wait.

Well...

Please take a picture of us.

Okay.

All right. Here we go.

1, 2, and 3.

One more time.

1, 2, and 3.

Secretary Jeong.

I'm just asking out of curiosity.

This dress.

Did you get it hoping to get married with me?

No, Director Do. It's not like that.

Nam Hee...

What? Does that mean you don't want to marry me?

No, that's not what I meant.

Then it means you want to marry me.

Well... That's not it though.

I want to be alone tonight. Will you get out of my room?

Hey, don't be like that.

Just tell me.

I can't. I'm asleep.

Goodnight.

Director Do.

Do you mind...

if Gal Hee walks down the aisle on my arm?

Pardon?

She grew up without parents,

but I want her to get married feeling happy.

Of course I don't mind.

But...

I'm not sure if I deserve to want something like that.

What do you mean?

Even though you are blind,

you always looks confident.

I always wondered...

how you could live like that.

Before my mom passed away, she told me two things.

"One moment of patience...

may ward off great disaster." And...

Don't neglect what you have...

hanging up on...

what you already lost.

Mother.

(One month later)

We should go somewhere. You should hurry.

My goodness.

Where on earth are we going?

Are we going to an amusement park or what?

Gosh.

We're going to someplace more thrilling.

What is going on?

Hello. I'm the 15th president,

Gi Dae Ju.

(The 15th Presidential Inauguration TnT Mobile)

With the consistent growth in IPTV subscribers,

I promise we will develop our own contents...

and see an increase in the value of our stocks...

through collaboration with internal and external production companies.

And according to the revised integrated broadcasting act,

we will develop contents competitiveness...

and become one of the biggest contents mobile company.

Director Park.

Are you interested in going to Cuba?

Cuba?

We can get in an old car in Havana...

and drive by the Malecon Beach.

And we will get ourselves some nice mojitos.

Mojitos?

Actually I'm feeling unwell these days.

Maybe we should go there and learn how to dance salsa.

People before performance. Love before competition.

With the new slogan of TnT Mobile,

we will make a company where everyone wants to work for.

Thank you.

Please give President Gi Dae Ju a round of applause.

This is it for the 15th presidential inauguration of TnT Mobile.

- What do I do? - What?

I was going to turn the company over to you in three years.

But while standing on the stage,

I learned how sweet power is.

Shut it.

After three years, no matter what happens, I will take you down.

You'd better polish the path until then.

So when I finally become the president,

I can walk on a nice path.

President Gi Dae Ju.

Look, Mother.

That man is my man.

He doesn't look that bad with a suit on.

So are you accepting him?

He's just a figurehead that will serve for only three years.

Hello, Ma'am.

Listen to me.

A boss must marry a boss to make another boss.

Don't spoil the boss' blood with other lame blood.

What do we do?

It seems like it's not going to be easy to convince her.

I have a good idea.

We...

should get old.

Get old?

Do you know what rich families are the most scared of?

Having no descendant.

If we just hang in there until the last moment,

there will be nothing my mother can do.

Then your background won't matter.

She will just want me to marry anyone.

That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

- President Gi. - Yes.

This is from Ms. Lee Eul Wang.

Lee Eul Wang?

Who is that woman?

Thank you for letting me keep the promise I made...

with your mom, Dae Ju.

And please make this place a good company, President Gi.

You didn't have to come all the way here.

I felt bad that I was staying in comfort while you're not.

I'm sorry, Mr. Eun.

I heard from other drivers that...

you also...

had a hard time.

How are you?

I'm just thinking about a lot of things these days.

I'm thinking of establishing a story fund.

I would like to bring workers like you...

whose lives are at risk and don't get any compensations to public...

and receive donations and help them.

I wanted to send some money to your commissary account,

but it was full already.

Well...

I think Director Do sent me some money.

If you ever get to see him, please pass this on to him.

If he doesn't mind,

I would like to see him on the day I'm released...

and thank him.

So this is the sushi.

The sushi at reasonable price.

I bought it to celebrate that I have become the president. Enjoy.

Thank you.

Why are you doing that?

You should kick that habit.

The bad habit that you always put others before you.

And who gave me the habit?

Give it to me. Let me do it.

Why are you doing that?

Give it to me. I'll do it.

What in the world?

Why are you making my President Gi do such chores?

Give it to me.

I'll do it.

And for my President Gi,

I prepared this.

Surprise.

Awesome.

Oh, right.

I kept a bottle of champagne on the first floor. Secretary Kim...

Right. My secretary quit again.

I'll go.

Sit. Don't do anything.

I'll go.

Why would you run such an errand?

Stay here. I'll go.

Stop!

President Gi, I don't want you to waste...

your beautiful legs on such an errand.

Save them for later.

Everybody, sit down.

I, Veronica Park,

will go myself.

Oh, no!

Secretary Jeong!

Are you sure you want to sew it up?

What else do I do?

Without this, you won't be able to recognize me.

Let's just throw it away.

What do you mean by, "throw it away"?

The weather is getting warm these days.

You can't be wearing that cardigan forever.

Let's just throw it away.

No!

How do I look?

Can you see my face?

What about this?

What should I do?

I tried them all, but none of them work.

Secretary Jeong, calm down.

We'll put something on you...

that helps me recognize you for now.

Well...

Earrings. What about earrings?

The earrings you used to put on when you were playing Veronica.

Oh, those.

I threw them away this morning.

You threw them away?

Whenever I see them,

I'm reminded of the time I lied to you.

They were fake anyway.

They are not fake.

They looked real, right? They were only five dollars.

They're not five dollars.

They are five dollars.

They are not fake. They are real.

They are not 5 dollars. They are 5,000 dollars.

What?

5,000?

(Final Episode will air shortly.)

You should have told me that they were 5,000 dollars.

What kind of man keeps a secret so well?

This is not ours.

This isn't either.

Why are you so diligent, cleaner?

I'll buy you a new one. Don't worry.

The new one will not be the same.

This means you already had feelings for me when you got me the earrings.

But I had no idea.

Now the cardigan is ruined and the earrings are thrown away.

What do we do now?

Number 245. Ms. Jeong Nam Hee.

- Yes. - Come on in.

Gal Hee. I will get in this time...

and make you proud.

What should I do now?

You're the ones who ruined the cardigan.

What do you want me to do?

Without the cardigan, how am I supposed to recognize her?

Then make something else a token of your relationship.

A token?

You wouldn't have recognized her red cardigan as her...

from the beginning.

Watching her in the cardigan,

your brain imprinted the image of her...

as a woman in the cardigan.

Make a new token that will imprint her image in your brain.

You might not recognize her at first,

but as time passes, you will be able to recognize her.

That's it. I have a meeting.

What?

- My gosh, stop it. - Come on. Wait.

Tell me what you were going to say about Dr. Park's patient.

Was he able to see people's faces again?

You were very doubtful about medical technology that day.

What's wrong? Are you suddenly curious...

now that your girlfriend started eating again?

Well... Tell me what happened. Was he able to see again?

Recently,

he succeeded in seeing people's faces two times.

When was that?

The first time was when he cooked steak.

What? What does that mean?

Does that mean I need to cook steak?

No, that's just how blood pressure works.

You can't force it to go up,

and you can't practice anything to be able to see again.

He couldn't see people's faces even when he rode a rollercoaster...

or got into a car accident.

But he could suddenly see when he was cooking steak.

- What? - So who knows?

You might also...

get lucky like him one day.

And here's the next one.

I think this might work with you as well.

What is it?

Think about it.

When a man and a woman are together,

what makes their blood pressure suddenly go up...

and get extremely excited?

Excited?

Dr. Gu, you're talking at a hospital in broad daylight.

Haven't you done it yet?

You haven't even had a deep conversation...

with your girlfriend yet?

Deep?

Deep.

What are you talking about?

What are you telling me to do?

- Dr. Gu. - What? Hey.

Whatever. I'm going to go.

My gosh, look at him leaving again.

What? What's wrong?

I was trying to tell him that another patient succeeded in...

seeing people's faces again when he proposed.

But forget it.

He'll come again when he needs me. Let's go.

Okay.

Here's your coffee.

Haven't you done it yet?

Thanks.

Why are you looking at me like that?

What are you talking about?

I can't even see you.

That's so hot.

You should've been careful. It's really hot.

Are you okay now?

Go away. Get away from me.

Why?

Didn't it work?

Then...

should I stroke your hair?

Gosh, don't do that. It's okay.

Don't blow air on me or stroke my hair.

My gosh, why is the office so hot?

I turned on the AC.

Gosh, forget it.

Let's get off work now. I'll take you home.

The food will be ready soon, so wait a little bit.

I don't need to eat.

Can I have some water?

Why is my throat so dry?

Okay, I'll be right there.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay. I'm fine.

It's all wet. Take off your pants.

- Take them off? - Take off your pants.

Take them off. Take off your pants.

I'll quickly dry them for you.

You're the one...

who told me to take them off.

What?

I was...

trying hard to hold back.

But you're the one who told me to take them off.

Director Do, that's not what I meant.

I was really...

I was...

seriously...

trying hard to hold back.

What time is it?

Everyone!

- Gal Hee! - Gal Hee!

What have you guys been up to?

What would a jobless woman do?

I stayed at home and watched TV all day.

But we might no longer be jobless.

If we get hired, we'll get paid for vacation and receive a bonus.

I heard we'll even get paid for the traditional holidays.

On top of that, they'll be giving priority to people...

who've worked at TnT Mobile before as dispatched workers.

I almost cried...

on my way to the office today.

I'll be interviewing for a job at a company I got fired from.

I hope the four of us will all get hired.

Everyone.

Full-time employees.

Do you know who made this possible?

It's all thanks to my boss, Director Do Min Ik.

Don't take his side just because he's your boyfriend.

It's not thanks to your boss. It's all thanks to President Gi.

My gosh, I really wasn't going to brag about this.

- Number 248. Ms. Gu Myung Jung. - Yes?

Please come inside.

I'll see you guys.

- Good luck. - Let's do this.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

I just finished my interview.

Did you do well?

You should've told President Gi to use his old office.

Why did you give him a whole new one?

Did you fail the interview?

Do you think your secretary is that incompetent?

Then why are you so angry?

The secretaries think...

President Gi is the one who decided to hire them as full-time employees.

Why does that even matter?

Here. Take this.

Don't throw things at me.

I'm very angry at a lot of things right now.

This too.

I told you not to throw stuff.

And here's another one.

Stop throwing stuff at me!

What's this?

Open it.

Director Do.

Dr. Gu says we need our own new token.

And I thought...

this would work.

Is it that you're...

proposing to me?

I want to...

be your coat of confidence.

Whatever you go through in life,

you won't get discouraged having me around.

I'd like to put this on your finger now,

but I'll give you time to think.

One day...

when I see this ring on your finger,

I'll take it...

as a yes.

It's so pretty.

Do you like it?

Of course I do.

When are you going to put it on?

It's a secret.

I'm here to say goodbye.

What?

I will stop coming to see you.

Why?

Why?

Now you have someone...

to turn to instead of me.

So stop missing your dead mother and live life with someone alive.

That's how people live.

Mom.

I'll leave at ease...

looking at your smiling face.

Live well and be happy.

Sweetheart.

The laundry room is in the basement.

I'd like to have breakfast 30 minutes earlier for now.

You said there are only two family members.

Your brother who's in Cuba and...

He's my son.

What are you doing? Say hello to her.

Hello. I'm Do Min Ik.

He's allergic to peanuts.

He'll be the president soon. Be careful about what he eats.

Yes, ma'am.

You didn't see my study yet.

This way.

Is she wearing the ring?

I hope she is.

I'm sure she is.

Hello, Director Do.

I'll be leaving this office.

Why would you clean it up?

Right. I'm so upset that you'll leave this office.

What am I doing now?

- It's not there. - Pardon?

What? Nothing.

There's a hole in the glove. My hand is all wet.

Director Do, I'll go wash my hands.

[VIU Ver] SBS E32 'The Secret Life of My Private Secretary' "The Very Moment" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Why did she not take the glove off?

She's here.

What are you doing?

Hey.

That was so close.

The meeting with SBC at 5pm. You didn't forget it, did you?

I know that.

What do you want to eat? Sushi? Naengmyeon?

You didn't forget...

we're having dinner together tonight, right?

You've kept your hand...

in your pocket the whole time.

Don't you think it's not the right thing to do...

in front of your boss?

Happy now?

Well...

Just to be sure.

If you are hesitating...

because I can't recognize your face...

Am I hesitating?

The woman over there.

She has beautiful eyes and a prominent nose.

Her skin is like a gift from the Almighty.

You know I can't see it.

I know. Isn't that great?

My man can't see women like her.

You know what? Here and here.

I've got some wrinkles and freckles...

since we first met.

I can't see it.

Yes!

So you will only remember...

my prettiest face.

And I will see you grow old.

I'll see you in the restaurant at the intersection at 6pm.

I should go to the broadcasting company to make the contract.

- I'll see you there. - Okay.

Let's have dinner together at our place next time.

We'd be flattered to be invited.

Shall we go have some tea?

Sure.

Hey.

Secretary Jeong is waiting. And I need to go to my office.

- Okay. Go ahead. - All right.

Good luck.

What?

It stopped?

Control room.

The elevator just stopped.

All right.

Once he arrives, I'll present this...

and propose to him again.

And...

I'll ask him to put this on my finger.

No.

If I'm wearing this ring when he arrives,

he'll feel happier?

What?

Darn it.

It's not working. Why now?

Excuse me.

Excuse me,

but could you speed up please?

It's almost over. Please wait a little longer.

What is taking him so long?

Awesome!

Long time no see, Gal Hee.

Sir, did you already sign the contract?

Where is Director Do?

You haven't met him yet?

He left first, saying he doesn't want to keep you waiting.

Oh, right. He said he would stop by the office.

The person you have reached is not available.

Maybe something happened to him.

Sir, could you please excuse me?

I will go to the office now. Could you please watch this?

Hey!

Are you enslaving me again?

Why are you doing this to me?

Secretary Jeong is waiting for me.

Darn it.

Are you okay, sir?

Gosh.

What?

I can see them.

Excuse me?

Are you all right?

Wait.

But...

Why, all of a sudden?

No, that's just how blood pressure works.

So who knows?

You might also get lucky like him one day.

- Thank you! - Sure.

Oh, my. Thank you.

Thank you.

It's Director Do.

Yes, sir.

Hey, where are you now?

I couldn't reach you, so I came back to the office.

Did something happen to you?

I see. Then...

I'll go back to the office now.

But I'm leaving now.

Don't. It'll be faster if I come to you.

So just stay in the office.

But I left something in the restaurant.

Secretary Jeong.

I'm not sure how much time I have left now.

If not now, I don't know when this moment will come back.

If I don't see you now, I will regret it for life.

So please go back to the office.

I don't have time to explain.

Okay. I'll go back now.

Where are you?

I'm in front of the elevator.

But you're not here.

I'm on the first floor.

Do you want me to go back to the office?

No.

Then...

Rooftop. Come to the rooftop.

Okay.

Sir.

Why did you want to meet me here?

You can see my face now, can't you?

You're pretty.

Am I?

Yes.

Your eyes are pretty.

Your nose is pretty.

Your lips are...

pretty too.

You're so pretty.

This is nice.

It's nice that you can see my face.

There is a thing...

I wanted to do so badly...

when I get to see your face.

We had miraculous moments every once in a while.

Whenever that happened,

no matter where she was, the man would go to her,

stare at her for a long time,

and kiss her for a long time,

appreciating the short moment.

So he can remember her face...

until the day he can see her again.

(Thank you for watching The Secret Life of My Secretary. We love you!)

In 1, 2, 3.

- The Secret Life of My Secretary! - The Secret Life of My Secretary!
