Original subtitles

Mr. Vice-chairman.

You need to get ready for work.

I never thought that shirt could be dangerous.

Dangerous?

The board members can dismiss me for neglect of duty.

You're so pretty that I don't want to go to work.

It makes it hard for me to stay calm and controlled.

I'm not sure if you are the same person that I used to know.

What do you mean?

I like you much more now.

But you should get ready for work.

Bon appétit.

I'm great-looking, wealthy, and successful.

Now I'm trying to have consideration for you. Why don't you accept it?

What are you talking about?

The salad.

I made it for you with my own hands.

Did you? Your sweetness is exceeding the maximum limit.

I hope you can give me a chance to do something for you.

I'm not used to that.

I guess it's occupational habit. I usually take care of other people.

I also have a habit.

I'm used to being taken care of.

But I'm trying...

like this...

to take care of you.

I know that I'm a very noble type, so I understand

it might be difficult to make me do something.

But just make me do anything and ask for my help sometimes.

I will allow it.

Yes.

I understand.

Your face says, "No, I don't understand."

-When is it? -I will take 28th, 29th, 30th. Perfect.

Good.

-What are you doing? -Planning summer vacations.

You already decided it in the former team? When is it?

I don't need vacation.

I go to bed after finishing my work.

It's unnecessary to have more than that.

You say a lot of unnecessary things.

Hello.

Secretary Kim.

You're not going on a vacation this year, again?

She doesn't need it because she's leaving the company soon.

I, who went to a prestigious university and have a super memory,

remember that you have about ten days.

Hey.

Oh, yes.

-Oh, too bad. -Yes.

I just forgot that I was going to quit my job.

VICE-CHAIRMAN YOUNG-JUN LEE

It's been nine years.

We've worked together from the moment that I jumped into the business.

If you just quit your job like this, I'll...

You'll what?

Be uncomfortable.

He will try to stop me again.

Even more because he's like a bulldozer now.

I'm here.

-It's the contract from the business team. -Thank you.

It's the final version of the contract that you made in Paris.

The legal team finished the review

and the additional clause to prevent another change has been added.

Your work style is refreshingly great.

Just like my features. Don't you agree?

Yes, I do.

What's the plan for lunch?

You need to visit the restaurant that your friend has opened.

Let's have lunch there.

With me?

I want to introduce you.

Yes. Okay.

Wow, there are many small and pretty restaurants.

Yes, there are.

I thought it would be a large-scale business in Chungdam

because it's your friend's.

My friend is a unique guy who refused to inherit the Jinyoung Group.

The Jinyoung Group?

Are you two very close?

Our parents know each other, so we've been close since we were little.

We got our MBAs together in America.

You must be glad to see him since it's been a long time.

-Come on. -Yes.

Oh, there.

ANCHOVY PASTA

Young-jun!

-How have you been? -It's been a long time.

You look great.

I always look great.

What did you just say?

He mentioned "successful and unique guy."

I definitely thought it would be a guy, but he's a she.

Oh, who is she?

My girlfriend.

Your girlfriend?

Hi, I'm Mi-so Kim.

Yu-mi Jung.

We've been friends since we were five.

He's introducing his girlfriend to me for the first time.

Awesome! You're so pretty.

Of course.

She's a perfect girl who matches well with my appearance.

You're still a narcissist.

Do you still do this?

"Aura!"

I don't do it in a frivolous way.

More like "Aura"! I do it magnificently.

It's still funny. Don't you think so?

Yes, well...

Oh, he did this in front of other girls.

Come on.

Bon appétit.

Thank you.

I'm so glad you have a girlfriend.

You've never dated anyone, so...

I was worried there might be a chance that you loved me.

Why would you think something like that?

You don't remember? You proposed to me.

When we were five.

Oh, right. You have many delightful memories.

-Excuse me. More pickles, please. -Yes, just a second.

It's a bit chilly.

-Why are you looking at me like that? -What do you mean by "like that"?

You usually have a big smile when you look at me, but...

your face got hard.

You got it wrong.

You used to be very open when you were little.

Open? What makes you think that?

You proposed to her when you were only five.

I guess you were a bit cheeky.

You also proposed to me when you were five.

Oh, my God. How can you compare you and me?

I proposed to you out of gratitude because you saved me.

You just...

flirted with a girl.

Flirted?

Are you jealous?

What? Jealous?

I'm not that immature.

What nonsense. Please!

I told you to give me a chance to do something for you.

I'm not used to it.

Open it.

Pay me if you want me to do something.

I make billions per hour. Pay me billions.

I just want to hit you a billion times.

Come on.

What did you think?

It'll pay the rent.

That's high praise.

Excuse me.

You really love her, don't you? I can see it on your face.

Do I?

You could only see handsomeness before, but now you can see love?

Man... Anyway, you look happy.

You, too. Is it because you're doing what you want to do?

I gotta say that it was stressful to inherit the company.

That was not what I wanted for my life.

People wouldn't understand my choice, but I'm really happy with it.

It's great to live my own life, doing what I want to do.

Young-jun. Open it.

Come on.

Please open this.

What did you just say?

Please open this for me.

Wait, say it one more time so I can record it. Come on.

You wanted to do something for me. I'm giving you a chance now.

You said you were not used to it.

I should keep trying.

And, you know...

"Aura!"

Don't do that in front of me. It's not funny at all.

I want to keep it.

What?

You in this moment.

I've never wanted to keep any famous artwork.

I really want to keep you feeling jealous right now.

Please, I never get jealous.

What's with the smile?

-You're cute when you're jealous. -I said I'm not...

-A jealous girl. -I'm not.

-A jealous bulldozer. -I'm not!

Jeez, I said I'm not...

That purse looks heavy.

Do you want me to carry it for you?

What are you doing?

You look like you're having trouble walking.

Do you want me to carry you?

You'd better stop.

Oh, no!

You look very upset. Do you want me to comfort you?

I think I said some foolish things. Do what you like.

Mi-so, wait for me.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

It was so great to go shopping with my eldest son.

I had a good time, too.

Oh, my.

It seems that he was reading your book.

But he seems to have fallen asleep after a few pages.

It means he was really into it.

Normally he can't read more than five pages.

It's mysterious how he was able to manage the company.

That's why they say he was the worst chairman ever.

Secretary Yang.

What's up?

What about a musical this evening?

I got tickets for The Phantom of the Ball.

That's the one I really wanted to watch.

That's why I clicked like crazy on the site all day to get the good seats.

Oh, you always come through for me.

This time you got me tickets?

How can you always be so good to me?

You are definitely my hero.

My sweet hero.

Why did they ask us to use the stairs?

You'd better be careful next time. I won't save your cheeks.

Do you get it?

Jeez.

I'm so sacred of her.

How can you pick on him like that? What did he do wrong?

I know. We would report it to the Violence Prevention Center if we had one.

This is none of your business. So just go, please.

Yes, it's because I made a mistake.

Alright.

If you feel like talking about it or having a drink, let me know.

Manager Bong, be gentle.

I'm sorry.

It's great to go out with you,

but I want to keep it a secret. Are you alright?

Did I hurt you a lot?

No, you didn't.

My cheeks are fine, but my heart got hurt.

Does it really have to be like this?

Oh, my God. My hero.

What a temper for a woman.

Hello.

Mr. Vice-chairman often goes home by himself lately.

I know, Secretary Yang might lose his position.

What are you talking about?

Our Secretary Yang is really contributing to this company!

What do you mean, "our Secretary Yang"?

I mean...

He's our Secretary Yang, not their Secretary Yang.

I can say "our" since we're working in the same office.

Our Manager Park?

I can't believe it.

You were picking on him just a moment ago and now you're trying to be nice?

I'm a person who doesn't hold grudges.

Excuse me.

I never know what she's up to.

Secretary Yang. It was hard, right?

-How about a drink-- -No, thanks.

I got you.

-Want a drink? -No.

You need to go to the hospital, right?

Yes, I could take a bus.

No.

It will make you tired. Let me drive you.

-Stop it, please. -Alright.

Are you going to stay there all night?

No, it's Mal-hui's turn. I'm just seeing him.

It must be hard for you and my sister-in-law

to take care of my father-in-law.

Your sister and your father-in-law?

Of course. Aren't you going to marry me?

You just want a casual relationship?

What are you talking about?

I mean...

are you really going to marry me?

You were engaged already when you were five.

You'd better stop.

Yes.

You can go.

You can be with me a little longer.

So...

you're not going to introduce me to your father?

I think it's early yet.

-Once he's discharged, I will-- -Mi-so!

Dad!

-Hey, let me go. -I'm sorry.

Dad?

How do you do?

Well...

I've heard a lot about you from my daughter.

You make her work herself to death without any vacation.

I wanted to meet you one day. And you're the jerk...

I mean, you are her boss.

Yes, I'm the jerk--

I mean, I'm her boss.

Sorry for the late greeting.

I appreciate that you arranged this nice room for me.

That's probably because she's doing well.

I'll gladly take it.

Of course. Please, speak candidly.

No, you're her boss, so I couldn't.

-Please. -No.

You can.

I'm afraid to say this in this circumstance.

To be honest,

we're having a courtship.

What?

Are you having the kind of "courtship" that I think, young man?

Why are you talking to him like that?

We are courting and having a relationship.

We're seeing each other, father.

"Father"? Look at this guy.

What a man!

I won't beat around the bush.

I'm against your courtship.

Yes, Mr. President. Hold on.

It's Mr. Park and he needs to ask something.

Can you excuse me for a second?

Dad, why are you against it? For what reason?

The more I look at him, the more I like him.

What? You just said you didn't like him.

It's fake.

I'm acting for you.

What are you...

He never imagined that we would be against him.

He's rich, so he expected we would roll out the red carpet for him.

But I know those types.

The more obstacles there are, the more he'll want to win.

You'll see. Now, he'll want you even more.

Dad, what are you talking about?

Let's have coffee, just the two of us.

Yeah, okay.

Alright.

Wait, Dad...

Hey.

What do you know about Mi-so?

I've worked with her for nine years. I know pretty much everything.

She's a good girl who's never caused any trouble.

She never complained about wearing old clothes from her sisters.

She was always the best student without any tutoring.

She was the most thoughtful among three.

When I got ripped off by my friend

and I went broke,

it was the same day

that she got the results of her SATs.

She could have gone to college on a scholarship.

But she insisted that she could make money instead of going to school.

I was so ashamed, crying a lot.

Do you know what she said to me?

"It's alright, Dad."

She said it with a smile.

I can't even imagine how upset she was.

Even now, when I see her smiling,

I still have a terrible pain in my heart.

So...

don't let her smile fool you.

She just endures, smiling when things are difficult for her.

Yes, I'm very familiar with it.

She decided to leave the company?

How much work did you make her do?

The diligent girl wanted to quit her job.

I hope

she will find

her own way...

to be happy.

Please wait here.

-I'll make her come down. -Okay.

Oh...

You just need to drive her home safely.

Don't hang around with her.

Sure, I'll see you later.

Why are you quitting without a plan?

I need to find my life.

Not one of a secretary or a breadwinner,

but just my own life.

People wouldn't understand my choice, but I'm really happy with it.

It's great to live my own life doing what I want to do.

I hope

she will find

her own way...

to be happy.

Why aren't they back yet? What are they talking about?

What took you so long?

Where is he?

We had a great time talking just between men.

I also made sure not to lose the tension.

Oh, he's waiting for you in the lobby. You go on now.

Why are you laughing?

My youngest daughter is dating the son of Yumyung Group.

Your face looked serious all the way here.

You mean seriously handsome, right?

Did my father say something rude?

No.

I was just trying to pull my thoughts together.

I guess I'm done. What about taking a walk?

Secretary Kim.

Do you still want to quit your job?

Yes, I do.

What are your plans afterwards?

Well, I'm not sure about details.

I had to start working right after graduating high school.

I never considered my dreams or interests and I just applied for any company.

After that, I was always busy making money and I never really thought about it.

I gotta say...

I don't really remember what I wanted to do.

Then...

take your time

and figure it out.

I was selfish and I just wanted to keep you beside me.

That's why I tried to stop you from quitting.

But I don't think I need to do that anymore.

Whatever you do, I'll be with you.

Mr. Vice-chairman.

For the last nine years,

you've always been a devoted,

perfect,

great secretary.

Now I let you go.

You did a great job.

But I should be the first to know your plan for the future.

Whatever it is, I'll help and support you.

Yes, I'll let you know.

No one's here?

Oh, no, what is it?

What's the matter now?

This is a big secret that nobody should overhear, okay?

Come close if you can handle it.

-Come on. -What is it?

The stock hit the ceiling?

Hey, don't be bothered.

He always does this.

It's a false rumor nine times out of ten.

This is not false.

There is a witness.

There's reliable testimony.

Okay.

In this office,

there is an unbelievable new couple.

Oh, my God.

Please don't be caught. Please!

And the couple is...

Stop there!

Mr. Vice-chairman and Secretary Kim!

-Secretary Kim? -Yeah.

Is it for real?

No way!

Who's the witness?

The newbie from the management support team.

Just a couple days ago, they were holding hands on a date.

He clearly saw the scene with his own eyes.

-Goosebumps! -Jeez.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Do you have good news?

-Yes, we have. -Yes.

Because it's a good morning.

-Good day, guys. -Yes.

Good.

-Good day. -Very good.

That was--

That was close.

If the rumor is true, we should stay in her good graces. Otherwise...

-We'd be in big trouble. -Of course we should be careful.

Ji-ah.

Have you finished the sales data for Yumyung Bio?

We have a meeting later.

Yes, the copies are on my desk.

Let's work harder!

-Harder! -Yes, I will.

It's regarding the opening ceremony for the department store in Daegu.

It's the fifth of next month, right?

Yes. Would you like to visit for a final inspection?

Though the president is visiting next week, so I guess you don't need to.

Then I won't, as you say.

Okay.

What is it?

When I think there are just a few days left that I can see you in the office,

every moment...

I want to cherish.

Then...

Wait.

What should we do?

We're between a rock and a hard place.

We got caught.

There's only one way forward.

Take the bull by the horns.

What are you going to do?

What did I just see?

See? I was right.

Please come in.

I guess we need to talk.

The romantic scene that you just saw...

it's exactly what you think.

You must've been surprised because you didn't have a clue.

Secretary Kim and I are seeing each other.

Wow, congratulations.

Be happy!

Wow!

I never knew.

Do any of you have a problem with this?

If you do, tell me now.

A problem?

No problem. Do you?

I don't have one.

What about you, Ji-ah?

Me neither, what about--

Of course you don't.

Then please.

Ah, yes. Goodbye.

That's better.

I'm sorry I have to ask this, but...

can you keep it a secret?

I hope we can keep this between us.

I'm sorry, but...

I think the rumor has spread all over the company.

What? How did it--

I guess someone saw you on a date.

So, we kind of knew about it.

Yes, Manager Park. I'm coming to give you the contract.

Isn't that her?

-It is! -Pretty.

Have you heard that the vice-chairman and Secretary Kim are seeing each other?

Of course I have. It's spread all over the company.

I have to say that I noticed it a long time ago.

It was suspicious that she was his secretary without good qualifications.

The vibe was weird.

I really hate those bitches who act entitled because they are pretty.

I mean, who wouldn't?

Too low.

Hey!

How can you say that? She's not that kind of person.

Yes!

She's the second-most-perfect person that I've seen, after Mr. Vice-chairman.

You don't know her at all. It's not right to talk like that.

What the heck?

You sound like morality slogans from a public campaign.

We talk behind her back or we don't. It's none of your business.

Oh, I get it.

If she becomes his girlfriend, you think you might get lucky.

So, you're trying to get in line.

Wow.

A secretary trying to seduce him and her colleagues trying to pull the strings.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Do you have a mop in your mouth? Watch your tone!

A mop?

Do you want a real mop in your mouth?

Where is it?

What the heck!

What's going on?

Manager Bong, Ji-ah!

What is it?

What's going on?

Oh, my God.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!

I'm sorry that you got hurt because of me.

You should've let it go, in one ear and out the other.

I got pissed off.

They know nothing and gossip about it.

I know better than anybody how hard you've been working.

Yes, you've been working so hard and now you're quitting to pursue life.

But they think that you'll get married...

after quitting your job.

Yes, it may leave a flaw in your perfect career of nine years.

Thank you for being on my side.

No problem.

It's so awful to make it official in the company.

That's why I don't talk about my life.

No, I mean, if I did date a guy in the company, I wouldn't talk about it.

Anyway, why don't we tell this to Mr. Vice-chairman

and he can transfer them to the Indian branch?

Please don't say anything to him.

I don't want him to worry.

So sweet of you.

What? A mop fight?

I heard it from Secretary Sul.

About you and Secretary Kim, and two bitches--

Two women were talking about you guys.

Then two from the office, who were trying to defend her, had a big fight with them.

Secretary Kim was just pulling them off each other.

Did she get hurt?

She must have hurt feelings.

They said that she seduced you or something. Used some harsh words.

Do we deserve harsh words?

People like to talk about others behind their backs.

But how dare they do that to my girl.

That's exactly the reason.

She's the girl of the owner. They are so jealous of her.

Pathetic.

They'd better not bill for that time. I'm not paying them for it.

Wait, where are you going?

I want to see if she's okay.

You know, I heard that she begged them not to tell you.

Because you would feel like this.

So how did I find out?

That's how rumors work. They spread from person to person

until they make their way to you. And then they drive you crazy.

Since she begged people, pretend that you don't know.

She's probably the one having the most difficult time.

I know.

That's why I'm so mad.

Secretary Kim.

Mr. Vice-chairman.

Get ready to go to Daegu.

Now?

I want to do the final inspection.

You said you wouldn't visit.

I need to go. Get ready.

What happened?

You were trying to defend her

and had a fight with other girls. It's all over the company.

They know nothing and

just talked about her behind her back.

I couldn't stand it and so we had a fight with them.

Wow.

You guys are so loyal.

Yes.

So awesome.

Did you get...

hurt?

Oh, I'm okay.

I got hurt a little.

I got a scratch on my arm.

It hurts.

I'm fine.

Manager Bong, open your drawer.

PAIN RELIEF PATCH BAND-AID

I secretly put them in your drawer.

Please don't get hurt.

No more changes for the interior of the shop?

Yes, we got final confirmation over the weekend.

Headquarters in France will pay careful attention,

as it's the first store in Korea.

Please do it right.

I think everything's good.

Yes, that's why I told you you didn't need to visit personally.

The meeting's over. Shall we go on a date?

Date?

Mr. Vice-chairman!

These steps are pretty, like you.

Stand over there.

I'm the best photographer. I will take a picture of you.

Come on.

Mi-so Kim, smile.

Good.

Let me see.

Let's try a bigger one.

This view looks like you. Flawless.

The observatory looks like me.

It stands on the top.

You brought me here on purpose, right?

To cheer me up.

You're right.

I happened to hear about it.

So I brought you here to cheer you up.

Why don't you move up the date?

No, I don't want to.

I'll work hard to the day I'm supposed to leave.

Judgment from others doesn't matter.

But I'm concerned that you might get hurt.

I prepared myself for that when I decided to go out with you.

If people find out and they misunderstand or criticize me,

I won't get hurt, I won't avoid it.

I couldn't love you without having some determination.

Why don't we go on a hot date?

Hot?

SEOMUN MARKET

CHICKEN FEET + RICE BALL

This is the hot thing you meant?

Yes, it's hot and spicy.

Please try it. Come on.

Swoosh, there.

How is it?

-It's not bad. -See?

Try one.

Good?

-Thank you. -Thank you.

That's pretty, huh?

-How much is it? -No.

Wait.

That one, please. How much is it?

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Secretary Kim, here.

I told you not to buy it.

Come on.

Don't get hurt. Don't avoid it.

THE NEW LAPTOP FOCUSED ON MOBILITY

-Oh, no. -What should we do?

Good morning, everybody.

It's not a good morning. We're in big trouble.

What's going on?

The laptop that's supposed to be released next month...

It seems the design has been stolen.

-What? -Take a look.

The New K revealed the design of laptops that will be released next month.

It looks just like ours.

Secretary Kim.

Call a board meeting now.

Okay.

Mr. Vice-chairman.

Be seated, please.

Let's get to the point. Tell me what's going on.

New K has a month to release the newest product.

They just revealed the design before us.

Seems they moved up the date, predicting the plagiarism dispute.

Can we change the design?

Well, if we change the design and delay the release,

it will affect the next lineups.

It's almost impossible.

Alternatives?

What about bringing down the price to be more competitive?

To lower the factory price before the release?

Selling the old stock?

Is that all you've got?

If the design cannot be changed, the function should be different.

Can any new function be brought over from the next model?

There are some, but the next product would--

Can you guarantee the next?

Improve 30% of SSD writing speed and 20% of power consumption.

Do whatever you can to upgrade quality, performance, and design.

Let's meet again tomorrow.

Secretary Kim.

Secretary Kim, we just found out about this.

The meeting was called before we could look into possible measures.

We're just flustered. Please explain it to him.

Don't worry about it. He probably knows.

He will ask for other options soon.

Please prepare a press release revealing we suspect plagiarism

and the issue dates of the design patents.

-Secretary Kim, thank you. -Alright, come on.

Mom?

Sorry?

You remind me of my mom, who used to comfort me when I got scolded by my dad.

-Mr. Go, check the progress of each team. -Yes.

Manager Bong and Ji-ah, go to the legal team,

-discuss the lawsuit. -Okay.

You two go to the marketing team,

-have a meeting. -Okay.

Manager Jung, keep me posted on everything.

Yes, I got you.

-Let's go. -Yes.

I just came from the development team, and they say those upgrades are possible.

-It's handled already? -Yes.

These are the options regarding the lawsuit on the design patent.

This is the press release addressing plagiarism from the PR team.

This is the plan for the extra budget from the finance team.

You're working faster than I thought.

I still fall short of you.

Will I meet a secretary like you again?

I'm getting reluctant to let you go, as you're doing so well, but now I know.

My job has been easier thanks to you.

Thank you for working with me.

-Pizza delivery. -Pizza, everyone.

Finally!

-It looks yummy. -It looks good.

I'm starving.

-It looks yummy. -Thanks.

Hey, have this.

It's so good.

You're having a meal now?

Yes, we just finished everything for the most part.

Thank you for today.

Good job dealing with the unexpected challenge.

You did everything.

Those women who were talking trash,

saying that you tried to seduce the vice-chairman,

they should've seen you working.

You've gotten where you are step by step with your ability alone.

Please, why would you bring up that now?

That's okay. I also heard it. I don't mind because it's not true.

Oh, you're really generous.

Now it's a big problem.

What are we going to do without you?

Mr. Vice-chairman. Have this. It's still warm and good.

Try this with sauce. It's much better.

You have to eat enough.

I'm good.

You did a good job, so please enjoy.

Excuse me.

Yes.

COOL HEADS! WARM HEARTS! FAST ACTION!

OVERSEAS BUSINESS TRIP REPORT

Secretary Kim.

Shall we go home now? I'll drive you.

Good job today.

Get some rest.

Mr. Vice-chairman.

I have something to tell you.

Well...

I want to stay at the company.

What are you talking about?

Literally.

I want to stay next to you as Secretary Kim.

Is it because of what happened today?

Don't worry about the office.

Mr. Vice-chairman--

I have great adaptability, as you know.

I would feel your absence for a while.

I'll get used to it eventually.

Figure out what you want to do.

I figured it out.

I think being your secretary is what I want.

Maybe...

I've been doing what I'm good at,

and I wasn't aware of it because I got used to it.

To support someone and handle problems...

I love the sense of achievement once everything's done.

Secretary Kim.

Besides...

I don't want someone I love to be in trouble.

And honestly, who could handle you except me?

You wanted to let me go because you love me.

I love you, so...

I want to be with you.

You haven't had dinner.

What about Ramyeon?

Sounds good.

Might be out of Ramyeon...

There is one left.

I guess we'll have enough with dumplings in it.

Dumpling Ramyeon?

It can be rice cake Ramyeon or cheese Ramyeon.

A master of transformation.

With an instant food with artificial additives!

Why am I so happy right now?

I gotta say that this is what I've dreamed of.

To spend the evening having dinner with my husband after work.

It's so hot in here.

Your dream.

I will make it come true.

To come home after work every day and have Ramyeon...

I'm okay with that, even if my body will be full of MSG.

You know...

I want to be your husband.

I want to marry you.

What? Any objection?

-I object! -Dad!

Father-in-law.

I object to your wedding!
