(Episode 4)

There will be more frustration and sacrifices...

...to fulfill that promise, which we will take on as well.

I believe most people fall into despair

not because of the impossible.

Is the CEO the one who's speaking?

Yes, but he's not one of our people.

Then?

This.

Oh, really?

We need you more than anyone else.

He's very ambitious.

Not bad.

Do not be shaken when you are faced...

...with storms and typhoons.

Please trust and follow us.

Wait.

Did I get cataracts?

This can't be right.

My service to you.

- Our service to you. - Our service to you.

Welcome.

Well, that's enough of an introduction for now.

Each department can greet him later in more detail.

You may get back to work.

Okay.

What's wrong?

What?

Oh, it's nothing.

Excuse me.

One second.

Hey, Yeon-hwa.

Han-cheol?

What are you doing here?

Oh, right.

I knew the company sounded familiar.

The broken sign. It was your company.

I got a job here.

Nonsense.

It does make sense.

It was predictable to an extent.

Joybuster has been considering the terms for a takeover...

...with my company, an expert on restructuring.

When I made a visit here, I heard some information

about you...

...from the previous CEO.

Mr. Jo Tae-koo?

And of course, we could have run into each other in Busan,...

...since the game industry is very small.

Does that mean I was also...

Not you, Headbutt.

Oh, okay.

If you need more of an explanation,...

...I will speak with you later.

Wait...

What's going on?

Yeon-hwa, see you later.

Goodness, what on earth is going on?

This makes no sense.

This is the data that you asked for.

Mr. Ahn.

Did you meet that woman in Busan?

I ran into her by coincidence.

And the new guy?

That's a mix of coincidence and bad luck.

I see.

So some things happened in Busan.

Ms. Yeo.

What are you doing?

Packing up.

What?

The terms for voluntary resignation

were good.

Come on.

You can't suddenly make a decision like this.

I need to leave when the timing is good...

...for my replacement to feel less burdened.

Wait, you need to stop her.

What are you doing?

We need to leave all at once...

...to get less criticism.

Goodness, Ms. Shin.

You've been promoted to team leader as of today.

What?

You were automatically promoted with the manager...

...and the team leader's resignation.

Congratulations.

All right!

Hey.

Think about what's going on.

This isn't the time to celebrate.

People who are leaving will leave,...

...but you should celebrate that.

Congrats, Ms. Shin.

Yes, your competence and passion are more than enough...

...for you to be a team leader.

I hope you lead the Planning Team well from now on.

How can I suddenly be a team leader?

Wait. One second!

Wait a minute.

Then let's do this.

You can wait three more months until things become normalized...

I'm sorry,...

...but there will be no hope for this place

even after three years.

Well, you don't know that yet.

I probably shouldn't say this since I'm leaving now,...

...but I can leave with no regrets after seeing the new CEO.

What can you expect from a finance guy

who has zero experience...

...in the game industry?

- But still... - We know what guys in finance do.

A restructuring is a great excuse.

They sell what they can and cut off what they can.

We can't call this company normal if it's only left with bones.

So I hope everyone makes a wise decision.

But we were just working on...

...a new project...

We were. But...

...the company that was supposed to launch

the new project has gone under.

Goodness.

Give me a call when things get tough.

I can always give you counseling on your career.

There are a lot of game companies out there.

Yes, I'll give you a call soon.

Goodbye.

They were going to leave anyway.

Don't mind them, Ms. Shin.

I mean, Team Leader Shin.

I envy that things are very easy for you.

You don't need to complicate things.

They're just looking for ways to survive.

She's right.

Even the founder of the company abandoned us.

How can we stop them?

Yes, I have nothing to say.

Who do I think I am?

Hey, new guy.

Yes?

Why are you laughing all by yourself?

Are you excited about your first day of work?

- I have a good feeling about this. - I see.

And I look forward to this.

Of course.

Look.

Do you think they aren't smiling...

...because they were born without the ability to do so?

It will last a week.

Your anticipation...

...and excitement.

Even so, I think I will continue to smile as I work.

Well, that is a possibility.

How should I put this? You go a little crazy as you work.

You become a little loony.

Stop scaring him for no reason.

I'm explaining this to him because of you.

- New guy. - Yes?

I will have you do nothing during your probation period,...

...so make sure you memorize your work manual.

You'll be tested in three days.

Yes, sir.

What about the voluntary resignations?

There's a huge fuss.

There's barely anyone left to work because so many people

have applied.

The deadline will be today.

We won't have any new recruits,...

...so fill up the positions with whoever is left.

Yes, I already posted the announcement.

No, you don't have to organize that now.

We'll move soon.

This building has been sold.

But I need to organize everything...

...to focus better.

Bad students always clean up their room

before they study, don't they?

Mr. Park?

Okay, fine. I'll start organizing.

As soon as lunch is over,...

...tell the team leaders of each department

to come to the conference room.

Yes, sir.

(Conference Room A)

Planning Team.

How far along are you with the new projects?

Oh, well...

The design of the module is about 60 percent complete.

There was a problem with the initial engine,

but we fixed it.

It became quite all right,...

....so I think the development will likely speed up from now on.

What about the Design Team?

We're done with the original drawings.

Once we get the details done,...

...we can just add the actions. There won't be any problems.

Yes, we're ready to resume the project

once we receive the funds.

Sixty percent.

As of today, all of the projects of every single department...

...will be stopped.

- What? - What?

What do you mean?

Stopped?

Oh, I didn't use the right word.

We're discarding them.

Wait, are you saying...

...we're going to abandon a project that's more than halfway done?

You're currently working on "Pig War Two,"...

...which is a huge update.

You wish to capture the existing users...

...while looking to have an inflow of new users.

But the Management Team believes you will end up losing both.

In simple terms,...

...there is no chance of winning...

...with an update like this one.

Well, you know,...

...I don't think you know this very well

as the new CEO.

"Pig War" is IP that has a fixed number of users.

If we do not make use of such IP which people are already

aware of,...

...our company may end up suffering more damages.

There isn't a lot of damage.

Recently, more money has gone into maintaining "Pig War"...

...than the money that was made from it.

We're in a contract with Nexviper to deliver "Pig War Two"...

...because we received support funds from them.

The aftermath will be hard to figure out

if we stop the project now.

Then did you enjoy the storm that blew in your face from

the front?

That storm ended up making your company bankrupt.

Why are you afraid of the aftermath?

We can't continue...

...to walk down the wrong path because we're afraid of stopping.

To be honest, the new CEO has a point.

Until recently, our maintenance fees were fixed,...

...but with the recent renewal of the publishing contract

with Nexviper,...

...the profit ratio changed.

And we went too far with that.

In the current situation, other than

the amount of profit from the publisher,...

...if we manage to save just 30 percent,...

...the company will be able to secure...

...a more stable and constant profit.

Therefore, we will also break the publishing contract...

...we have with Nexviper.

Oh, gosh. He's doing whatever he wants.

Wait.

Nexviper is the number one company when it comes to game publishing.

We're maintaining our sales because of their name value.

If they take their hands off of this,

we might face a dead end.

Yes.

I've thought about this for a long time.

I didn't come to this decision that easily.

I mean,...

...you just started working with our company.

How could you have thought about this for a long time?

You can travel to the moon from Earth in three days.

Then which publisher...

...will you sign a contract with?

There will be no contract.

We're going to publish this on our own.

What?

We're going to do that?

Mr. Ahn!

Publishing a game isn't that easy.

It's even tougher for a company like us,...

...which has no experience in sales.

We had no choice but to give them a high

profit ratio...

...because we know how important that is.

Then...

...if you keep doing what you've been doing so far,...

...will things go well?

That's not what I meant.

I am aware that self-publishing is difficult to carry out.

But why can't we succeed?

Everyone,...

...are you stupider than those people?

Stupid?

Don't you think you're being a bit too harsh?

I wasn't coming to a conclusion. It was a question.

Do you think...

...you are stupider?

Who's stupid?

Us?

Then that's good.

If we're smarter than them, why can't we...

...do this?

Well.

There's no reason for us to lose.

Ms. Yoon, but this isn't right.

What about our shareholders who have been waiting

for a new game?

They'll probably throw a fit.

But I've been annoyed by how Nexviper

tried to have a say in everything,...

...including the character design.

I'm for this.

We must put in new wine...

...into new wineskins.

Bring me new and amazing projects that have nothing to do...

...with Nexviper.

Creating a new game is the only way for

Joybuster to survive.

You still cannot agree with my opinion.

Fine.

Today after work, I will hold a

company-wide get-together...

...to communicate better with each of our employees.

Sounds great.

This is the time when we need to show

our support for one another.

Then that's it for today's meeting.

You may leave.

Yes, sir.

Great work.

He ended up abandoning the entire project.

It's not like we didn't expect this.

I didn't think he would break the contract with Nexviper.

Anyway, Yeon-hwa.

When are we going to make our new wine?

You have to give it to us in a hurry.

We can't just let our manpower hang around like this.

I'll put something together as soon as possible.

Okay, Yeon-hwa. Great work.

The shareholders already give you a tough time,...

...but things might get worse now.

Goodness, you're right.

The rest of them didn't pull their investment...

...because they trust Nexviper more than they trust us.

If we break that contract,...

...it'll be completely over.

Mr. Ahn.

Don't you think this is wrong?

Did you sleep during the meeting?

I already explained that it's not wrong

during the entire meeting.

Are you...

...about to kill me for good...

...by making the shareholders furious?

I know that you have been harassed by the shareholders.

If you know that,...

...how could you make such a decision that easily?

Does my job look easy?

Who said your job looks easy?

I'm asking because you made an easy decision for an

important matter.

Is this a compliment about my decisiveness?

- What? - If so, it's not the right

time yet.

Having a smart CEO...

...won't resolve the problems right away.

It won't be too late to compliment me

after we see some results.

Wait. Wait a second.

I don't think you understood what I meant.

If you break the contract with Nexviper right now,...

...I will die.

Shareholders might drag me somewhere

and kill me in secret.

Then are you saying...

...you want me to stop the restructuring

because of you, Ms. Shin?

I'm not saying this just to save myself.

But it sounds like it.

An absolutely selfish decision.

A self-centered way of thinking.

Remember.

If you do not grow out of your old way of thinking,...

...I cannot approve of you as one of Joybuster's employees.

What did you say?

The emergency escape is always open.

If you do not like the company, you may leave anytime,...

...even right now.

I won't hold you back.

Live together and die together.

We'll live and die together.

A company is your other family.

Remember that.

Yuseong CRC's first step in suppressing in-house trouble.

Bring up the other party's argument before they verbalize it.

- Yes. - Second step.

Make sure their personal suffering isn't just their problem.

Tell them it's a part of the process

of becoming a community.

Lastly, third step.

Do not think of the company employees

as your real family.

Darn it!

Hey. Is something wrong?

It's okay.

Goodness!

Why did he suddenly bring up that we're a family?

Man!

(Sleeping is losing!)

What else did he say?

An emergency escape?

Leave?

No way.

I won't leave the company for your sake.

You're the one who should leave!

Darn it.

I heard your company-wide get-together is today.

- You're coming to my restaurant, right?

-Goodness.

I'll trust you and set up the place.

Did she wiretap my office?

My gosh.

I heard the CEO will count get-togethers as overtime.

Really?

Hey, not a bad start.

Right? I was a little worried because he looked too cold.

I guess you need to deal with someone before you can actually know them.

You two haven't dealt with him.

All right, I have your beer.

- Here. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Why do you look so down?

Don't even get me started.

I thought he was just a rotten apple who came to spoil the barrel,...

...but he's more like an electric eel.

But I'm still thankful.

If your company went under, my restaurant may have gone under too.

Are you only worried about your business right now?

You worry about your company,...

...and I worry about my restaurant.

Isn't that only natural?

- Right? - Yes, of course.

Hey, there's the Management Team.

In 2016, we lost 15.6 billion won.

In 2017, 16.8 billion won.

This year, our dead loss reached 10.1 billion won in just two quarters.

While we were testing the new game which was scheduled to be released last year,...

...we came across a fatal issue.

It has been half an hour already.

He's not just counting this as overtime,...

...it is overtime.

Is this what he meant by having a get-together to communicate better...

We almost had to go into receivership...

...with the employees?

This isn't just the management's issue.

And now, let us take a look at the handout...

...as I explain the direction and the goal we will work toward.

Do you get it now?

This is why we are his objects.

Hand these out.

Oh, okay.

If he was going to do this, he should have done it in a conference room.

Sorry.

Oh, I wasn't talking to you, Han- cheol.

Mr. Ahn!

Go ahead.

Can we make a toast first?

I mean, it's a great occasion.

Please wait.

I still have something important to explain.

"Wait. Not yet."

It's not like we're dogs waiting to be fed.

You can't make us drool in front of chicken and beer for half an hour.

That is not my intention.

It's just something you must listen to while you are still sober.

You're going to talk about something...

...that will wake us up no matter how drunk we are.

What do you mean?

"You people did this and went bankrupt.

So you need to pull yourself together."

Isn't that it?

The wording might be different,...

...but I won't deny that the nuance would've been the same.

Therefore, if you already know that we aren't here to just drink and party,...

...please wait a little.

Ms. Shin Yeon-hwa.

Hey, if he addresses someone with that tone,...

...it means he's a bit angry.

Can't we just drink...

-...and have fun on a day like this? -I'm not sure if she'll be okay.

Mr. Ahn Dan-te.

Mr. Ahn was just shaken...

-Over half of our employees quit. -...because of her unexpected counterattack.

It means he didn't expect her to talk back like that.

Even if that's true, do we have to be this gloomy?

Why don't we drop our worries during this get-together,...

...show each other our support, and work with some joy?

And what was the result...

...of working joyfully while you ignored...

...the crisis?

The result?

As you know...

Everyone knows what the result was.

Tell us about it.

In the end, we...

Gosh, it's over.

I've already seen the last episode of this drama.

You know,...

...I'm not curious about the tension between the two main characters.

Yes, we went under.

And now we have a CEO who doesn't care about the spirit of our employees.

- Our get-together is a mess too. - I can feel the cold air...

- ...already. - I think we're really done now.

Happy?

That was a great counterattack that could bring about one's sympathy,...

...but he will not fall for that.

Therefore, that was a wrong choice.

Joybuster.

If the people who create these games do not enjoy their work,...

...you do not think you can make a game that everyone enjoys.

Yes, I'll give you that.

Of course, it's great to work while having fun.

But even if we get drunk, party,...

...sing, and even dance during a get-together,...

...we won't be able to find the root of joy we're looking for.

-In order to find the root of our joy... -That tone of his voice...

...shows that he has regained control.

And why does he focus on the fundamentals?

It's a perfect way of speaking so that she cannot say anything back.

Let us go back into the point.

- I will brief you on the report. - Open up the report.

-The foundation of...

- No. - the reconstruction's...

Getting drunk and partying at a get-together...

...can also become the root of our joy.

Have you ever gotten drunk and partied during a get-together?

I do not have such get-togethers.

You haven't even done it, and you say it's not true joy?

I mean, I said I'm having fun.

I said I can get more energy.

We're the ones who felt that in person.

Why do you say that it wasn't a true emotion?

I can logically infer that...

Infer what?

You don't know what a person is like.

You don't know what they like, dislike,...

...or what they want.

How can you come to any conclusion about a person?

In this day and age, there is such a thing called big data.

Instead of looking at big data,...

...why don't you conduct a big test?

By doing what?

You can get drunk and party...

...to see if a get-together...

...is fun or not.

Sing us a song, Mr. Ahn.

Mr. Ahn.

Sing a song.

- Mr. Ahn. - Mr. Ahn.

- Sing a song. - Sing a song.

- Mr. Ahn. - Mr. Ahn.

His eyes are shaking again.

Yes, did you catch that too?

He never expected to see the situation unfold like this.

This is beyond what he can imagine.

He's up against an impossible enemy.

- Sing a song. - Sing a song.

- Mr. Ahn. - Mr. Ahn.

- Sing a song. - Sing a song.

- Mr. Ahn. - Mr. Ahn.

- Sing a song. - Sing a song.

- Mr. Ahn. - Mr. Ahn.

- Sing a song. - Sing a song.

- Mr. Ahn. - Mr. Ahn.

- Sing a song. - Sing a song.

Enough is enough!

I know you are doing with malicious intentions to embarrass me.

Even if I sang a song, how would that help our company?

Yes, that was a little over the line.

His song isn't going to help us.

You need to stop fooling around.

No, Mr. Ahn.

I think your song could help.

Hey, man. What's with you?

Today was my first day at work.

I was really nervous,...

...thinking that I might make a mistake...

Oh, I did make a mistake in front of you before I got my job here.

But...

...I think your song might help me feel at ease.

No.

He's not going to change his mind just to help a new guy feel at ease.

This morning,...

...I was very happy to run into someone.

I was so excited to work with that person...

...and found myself smiling without realizing it.

I'm sure all of these employees...

...probably felt the same amount...

...of excitement and anticipation when they first saw the Management Team.

I wish to continue to let them feel...

...excited and anticipated.

In that sense, I believe your song...

...could greatly help to boost my spirit...

...and these employees' spirits.

So Mr. Ahn, please do...

...sing a song for us.

He's so used to asking for a favor.

Fine, I will sing a song.

The CEO can't be the reason for everyone's spirits to be down.

I'll come back after I make a phone call.

You can let the get-together begin.

Wow.

Hey.

That wasn't a bad way to show your support.

[Kplus Asia Ver] MBN / DramaX E04 'Level Up' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Come on, have another drink.

- Nice job! - My goodness.

Nice job! Wow.

I've been working with that guy for almost 10 years,...

...but I've never seen him get that flustered.

Do you think there will be problems?

Come on, problems?

I'm sure there will be some.

What?

Don't mind that.

All right, we are standing on a new page of our history.

Let's all make a toast!

For Joybuster to become...

...a more joyful place!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

All right, cheers, everyone.

Gosh, that just hit the spot.

I need to answer this.

- Oh, man. - Eat up.

Yes, Mom.

I'm having a get-together at work.

I called because I was worried about your first day at work.

Listen to what your boss says...

...and do everything you are told.

Don't worry about me. I'm not a kid.

I'll call you again later, Mom.

Is Mr. Ahn somewhere outside?

No, I don't see him.

That was a mistake on my part, right?

That was a mistake? Wasn't that revenge?

He told you off in Busan, didn't he?

Why would I get revenge over that?

Well, I guess I did have...

...a tiny intention to get back at him.

Gosh, why does he have to be my new CEO?

I nearly died from shock when I saw him...

...during the interview.

Things got complicated for us from the start.

Gosh, whatever.

Let's just drink and party tonight.

- Let's go. - Okay.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

You two are the heroes of the day.

You deserve to get drunk.

-Drink up. -Don't say that. That's an overstatement.

Come on, you saved the get- together.

I haven't had a get-together like this in years.

It has been a while since he left.

Do you think he just left?

That man has never left, not even once in his life.

He just comes.

He keeps on coming. He comes and comes again.

You really want him to leave,...

...but he comes at you one more time,...

...like a nightmare.

What do you mean?

You'll find out after you spend a little more time with him.

Surging back with fresh force. Do you know what that means?

Is that an old saying?

Surging back with fresh force.

It means he will definitely...

...return with a cloud of dust.

Hey, isn't that Jay?

- It's Jay. - Jay?

My gosh, it's Jay!

Hey, move aside.

- It's Jay! - My gosh!

My goodness, what is this?

Is that true? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

Is that true? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

For real? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

Say la la la la la

La la la la la

Who wouldn't want a huge yard And an enormous house?

I've been planning for my grand dream Since when I was 20

While you were out of your mind Working your easy job

I only waited for my time To make money, all day

Like a Mustang in front of a green light

Don't ask me where I'm going Because you're too weak to follow

No matter what you try to do You can never become me

Go to a hospital If it looks like I was born rich

Even though you got LASIK Your vision is still blurred

Choose one between money and fame

Without even thinking

I will sweep both of them, my gosh

Now you can go out and play all you want And she said

Is that true? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

Is that true? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

For real? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

Say la la la la la

La la la la la

I was born naked But I got myself an outfit

If that's a relief I wouldn't have gotten into music

You know who? Sure

I want to be an artist who's full and warm

All rappers and beat makers watch your back

You can't be slow if you wish to enjoy life

Wow, this is the swag of a true ace player.

Who on earth are you?

A top model for star-wannabes Watch and learn from my work

Why do you want me to be nice in my lyrics?

If you wear tinted glasses I'll just look three-dimensional

Even if you swarm around to attack me I don't care

I will trample all over your flowers

And it's not just about rap I'll work out of this industry

My mom says it's great to have a kid

You'll go crazy from jealousy

Choose one between money and fame

Without even thinking

I will sweep both of them, my gosh

Now you can go out and play all you want And she said

Is that true? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

Is that true? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

For real? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

For real? Yes

Okey-dokey, yo

Say la la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

Withdraw.

Withdrawing.

- Wow. - Wow.

Mr. Ahn, you're the best!

I never knew you were so cool.

I won't deny that.

- Wow. - Hey.

See? I told you that it could be fun.

We didn't have fun just now because of a song.

What?

He means that they're not usually fun,...

...but he did a great job, so it became fun.

Ms. Shin.

Yes.

And all employees of Joybuster.

You probably thought the CEO suddenly changed into some finance guy,...

...who will probably pressure the employees to work harder.

"What does he know? What could he do?

He wants to take away our willingness to enjoy our work."

I can also feel how you hold such a prejudice against me...

...with animosity.

You do not have to be sorry.

I've felt such prejudice against me at every single company I worked with.

I have already saved...

...nine other broken companies like yours.

If you want me to respect what you can do,...

...then I hope you can respect what I can do too.

Then enjoy your get-together.

You should come in and grab a drink with us.

The basics of...

...an enjoyable get-together is for the boss to disappear as soon as possible.

Where did you get such great information?

Goodbye, then.

Let's go back inside.

Come on.

- Goodbye, Mr. Ahn. - Goodbye.

All right!

Let's drink.

Let's go inside.

Wait.

What is it?

Well...

Can you grab a drink with us before you go home?

I feel sorry for this and that too.

And?

I want to talk to you.

Didn't you tell me to sing because you didn't want to hear me talk?

No, it's not like that.

Then what is it?

Well, we can go inside and talk.

If you have something to say, you can tell me now.

It's a little too awkward for me to do that here.

Let's go inside, have a drink, and talk.

It's not always a good thing to get drunk on purpose.

My gosh.

Do you feel much better if you refute every single thing that I say?

It's quite the opposite.

If you had given me a straight answer first,...

...then I wouldn't have asked you again.

Including what happened last time,...

...I haven't gotten the chance to properly apologize.

We're going to keep seeing each other, so we can't have any hard feelings.

There are relationships...

...where you must keep seeing each other even with those hard feelings.

If you have nothing else to say, then I'll get going.

How can you be so...

He makes you angry so easily, doesn't he?

Oh, hello.

Hello. Nice to see you again.

Why are you here?

Why am I here?

You called me and begged...

Everything...

Everything is over.

You may go.

This is so odd.

He didn't want to work on a game company,...

...but I suggested that it might be fun and recommended it to him in Busan.

He really took the project.

You can never know what life holds.

I never knew I would meet you two again like this.

I didn't decide to take the project because of you.

In that case,...

...if you are done with him, I'll take him with me.

Is that okay?

This is my body.

You can't ask her for permission.

I'll see you later.

Okay, goodbye.

Goodness, I'm telling you.

Here you go.

Thank you, ma'am.

I haven't seen the people at this table before.

The Management Team?

Oh, yes.

Nice to meet you, everyone.

Oh, yes.

Ma'am, if I may ask,...

...what's your name?

I'm Mi-ja. Oh Mi-ja.

Yeon-hwa, the woman who made a scene is a friend of mine,...

...so they usually hold get- togethers here.

Oh, Mi-ja.

Ms. Oh.

You have a charm that could make a guy drunk.

Nice to meet you.

I am...

...General Manager Park Gil-woo...

...of the Management Team, a new addition to this company.

I'm a guy who has great influence on the Management Team,...

...the big shot of the team.

- Right. - Right.

If you're the big shot, are you like a corporal?

Oh, my brother is still serving in the army.

I see.

No, I'm a rank above that.

I'm more like a sergeant.

I see.

Then you're a regular soldier,...

...while Mr. Ahn is a commissioned officer?

Oh, it doesn't exactly work like that.

I'm a guy who's way past a commissioned officer or a regular soldier,...

...like a reservist?

You're so funny.

But I hate people who talk about the army when they get drunk.

Anyway, you should come by often.

Okay.

Right.

You look great in a suit.

Really?

Thank you.

Goodness, this is our first time meeting,...

...and you pretty much fed me cold and hot water in turns.

Thanks for doing me a favor.

You turned around coldly saying you'll never ask me for another favor.

I can't believe you did something for your employees that actively.

I needed to quiet down the manipulation of public opinion.

Even so, you only had one wish,...

...and you used it for a song during a get-together?

It wasn't just a song.

It was my killer move to turn the situation around...

I'm not going to school tomorrow.

I'm going to an internet cafe.

Goodness, come on. What?

Bye.

(Seven Heven Internet Cafe)

Darn it.

What?

Do you even travel...

...to play games?

Who's this?

A guy I must keep seeing despite having hard feelings.

I didn't know you had such an awesome younger brother.

I hope...

...I didn't bother you two when you were on a date.

Keep your mouth shut.

Man, you never let me say anything.

It wasn't a date.

But you did bother us.

Hun, if you're in high school,...

...do you like idol stars by any chance?

Jay is having a concert next week.

Do you want some tickets?

Really? I'd be grateful.

Invitations are only given to celebrities who can make the star go viral.

Giving the tickets to a kid who would do nothing for the sales is...

...nothing but a waste.

It's none of your business.

I'm the current CEO.

Hun, will you come?

Yes, of course.

I was bored anyway. It sounds great.

Do you want one, Mr. Ahn?

I have no time to freely enjoy music.

Yet you sang a song with passion during your get-together today?

"Ms. Bae, I ask of you.

Please help me sing."

What?

You acted so elegant and refined,...

...but you went to a karaoke and had fun?

Stop making up stuff.

What am I making up?

Did you say that or didn't you?

That's enough exaggeration.

I didn't beg with a voice like that.

I have a recording of you.

Hun, do you want to listen to it?

- Really? - Listen to what?

That's enough.

You can actually get flustered?

I didn't get flustered.

Your ears are red.

I told you to keep your mouth shut.

Don't be mean to Hun.

I started this.

I get it.

Please let us go home quietly.

Anyway,...

...did you really record it?

What?

Did you really record it?

Goodness.

How could I record that?

You got scared.

Have a safe trip back.

Hey, we should meet often.

He could use a natural enemy.

You two will never meet again.

Go on, now.

You should try going to a library for once.

People there don't even want to waste time eating a meal.

You need to realize how you are wasting your life...

...at an internet cafe.

Can you please stop nagging me?

Do you want me to get her again?

I'm asking you not to drag me down later.

You have an implicit way of looking down on me.

I'm sure I can't make myself clearer than this.

If you think that was implicit, you deserve to be looked down on.

Let me make myself clear on this.

I will make sure...

...I make more money than you.

Before you make money, go wash your feet first.

They don't smell bad.

But is making more money the only thing you can do better than me?

You have only a little bit of time left to think that I'm a joke.

Wait and see.

I don't even want to see you now.

Why should I wait to see you?

Goodness.

I need to keep my mouth shut.

Do you want me to tell you...

...how you can easily make money?

Do you want to know?

Are you going to tell me...

...to study hard?

Watch out for the guys who tell you they know an easy way...

...to make money.

They go after kids like you.

I know that much.

Do I look that stupid to you?

What's even stupider is...

...how you anticipate that money will make you into a better person.

You have a slim chance of success.

Does he think he's the only big shot?

Dramatic things do happen in real life.

Are you getting ready to say something absurd again?

A guy you met on a trip...

...became your coworker.

It's something you see often in a romantic drama.

This is a drama about a psycho.

Are you kidding me?

It's more like fantasy. Are you kidding me?

A competent CEO and a young and handsome new recruit.

Gosh. I don't want to be Cinderella.

And Candy's life is worse.

It's better than a soap opera.

Well, you have no idea how frustrating it is to live as a character of a soap opera.

What do you mean?

He called again.

Who?

That jerk? Why?

He called me drunk.

And even in that situation, he called out another girl's name.

Hey!

Then why did you pick up the call?

It's fun.

Do you know how interesting it is...

...to be in the middle of a complicated relationship?

Goodness, right.

It does look like my life is about to get more interesting.

Goodness. Man. My gosh.

Good morning.

- Hey, good morning. - Good morning.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Yes.

I'm sorry.

Yes, Management Support Team.

Oh, the general shareholders' meeting?

We haven't fixed a date yet.

We'll post the announcement as soon as we make a decision.

Yes, I'm sorry.

- Gosh, this is driving me crazy. - Good morning.

Hey, come and pick up the calls.

Tell them nothing has been decided, so they need to wait.

Oh, okay.

- Yes? - Yes, this is Joybuster.

You can't deal with every single call.

Pluck out the lines.

Yes.

Mr. Ahn, you should make a decision soon.

Everyone is angry.

Good morning!

It's the season Of the general shareholders' meeting again

We need to go And get our hair pulled out again

Goodness.

It would have been better to delist the company.

We left them on the respirator for nothing.

Isn't it a good thing that we stopped the company from getting delisted?

Having a company listed isn't always good.

You have to manage the stock prices...

...by making an announcement every now and then.

You have to hold general shareholders' meetings regularly.

You have to pay attention to a lot of things.

We used to only work with companies that got delisted.

But it got a little harder to get relisted,...

...so we decided to keep the respirator on.

I see.

Did you call...

...the Korea Listed Companies Association?

Yes, they haven't made an announcement yet.

All right.

Let us get our sixth sense working.

Bring the calendar.

Yes.

(Joybuster, 2019)

(Joybuster, 2019)

The 27th.

The 30th.

No, no. The 27th.

The 30th.

What are they doing?

Trying to guess when the super general shareholders' meeting will be.

The super general shareholders' meeting?

Okay, look. When the stock prices drop,...

...how will the shareholders react?

If it drops?

They'll make a huge scene.

Right? Then what should we do?

We have to stop them.

Right? So...

...we're stopping them from coming to the general meeting.

People who invest in stocks do not usually buy one company's stock.

So we're holding a general meeting on the same day, at the same hour.

The super general shareholders' meeting.

I see.

You have to trust me this year.

It's definitely Friday the 27th.

According to the Road Traffic Authority,...

...between 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. on Mondays,...

...cars drive at an average of 24.9km.

It's when the traffic is the heaviest.

There is a 30 percent chance that it'll rain according to the Meteorological Agency.

A rainy Monday morning. It's game over.

You're just making a guess too.

You have to trust my sixth sense too!

Do you want to hold the gavel?

What?

Oh, no.

Mr. Song, just make an announcement for the 30th.

A traffic jam on a Monday. Sounds great.

Yes, sir.

What's the gavel about?

Let's say you're holding on to the gavel,...

...and the shareholder gets angry.

Then he takes the gavel from you.

What do you think will happen?

He takes the gavel?

Gosh, this sounds brutal.

Yes, it's not easy.

Mr. Ahn, will you hold the meeting in the seminar room...

...of the construction hall like last time?

It'll be the main conference room of our new office.

What?

Where is our new office?

Oh, right.

When are we moving?

We have to empty this place by next week.

We'll move out before then.

But...

...they have a pool and a buffet too.

I think the employees will lose their spirit...

...if they have to move from a paradise like this.

I can't take away their carrot once it's given.

We'll keep the employee benefits at the same level as now.

Wait, is that possible with that budget?

Were you asking me?

I mean, of course, you can do that.

Give him a hand in advance.

(Traditional Rice Cakes)

Wow.

The honey rice cake is warm and delicious.

I'm going to send it far away, so make sure they don't get too hard.

Sure.

You must be proud to see your son working for a great company.

Yes, of course.

He was always smart ever since he was a kid.

He knew ten things when I just taught him one.

The new office is undergoing...

...interior construction with an open-door policy.

They'll be done by the weekend,...

...so help the teams move according to the dates.

What's an open-door policy?

Open management.

What exactly are we opening up?

It's...

We'll share information, machines, and equipment...

...to improve communication between the employees.

I decided on the main points...

...through a restructuring process.

Keep the game in service going...

...only until the publishing contract expires.

We have no plans to update the game.

A "re"? "Re" what?

Restructuring.

Restructuring.

You take out or put in whatever is necessary for the business.

A rearrangement.

What are we going to take out?

Our main business will be the launch of a new game.

So we're going to stop the service...

Mr. Park.

Get legal advice to cancel the contract with Nexviper.

Okay.

Did you hear that? Get it done.

What?

I didn't hear anything because I was talking to him.

Right?

Hey, new guy.

I'm sorry.

Make sure you get the contract termination paper...

...that we'll send to Nexviper.

You get it yourself.

It's important.

Oh, okay.

It's important.

Mr. Song.

We can just launch our new game when we have it ready.

Is it necessary for us to terminate our contract with Nexviper?

Well, Nexviper gets the first look at all games created by Joybuster.

So we need to lift that clause...

Hey.

Do you think this is school?

You forget ten things when we tell you one thing,...

...then you make us explain every little detail to you.

I'm sorry.

You should understand everything at a single glance!

Hey, can't you get a grasp of what's going on in here...

...by looking at the situation?

I'm sorry. I need to pick up this call.

It's my mom.

Goodness.

Man.

Goodness.

You need to get him under control.

Yes, sir.

They say a fine child makes a fine man.

I knew something was ominous when we hired that guy.

Do you finally understand how I feel?

You're the one who hired him.

No, when the chairman brought you to me for the first time.

How I felt at that time...

...cannot be compared to how that new guy is doing.

What?

That's completely different from what I remember.

I think I was pretty reliable.

Are you laughing at me?

No.

(Korea Systems)

Yes?

Mom, you don't have to do that.

The company provides food.

It's not about the food, it's about the thought.

Okay, thank you.

Give it to your CEO first, okay?

Okay. Goodbye.

Okay, bye.

(My precious son takes his first step as a first-time office worker)

(Please do look after him, from Han-cheol's mum)

Excuse me, can you write down your name right here?

Sure.

Yes, I understand.

I'll see you at the site.

Mr. Ahn!

What is it?

Do you have the proposal?

No, I have to talk to you about something.

I have to leave right now.

I'll talk to you when I return.

We're in a hurry too.

We need to talk to you...

...about how we're going to plan our game in order to develop it further.

Follow me.

Where are you going?

Goodness, where are you going?

We have to have a meeting, don't we? Follow me.

Mr. Ahn.

What is it?

Have some.

What is this?

Honey rice cake. My mom sent it to me.

You have to eat it before it gets hard.

I love rice cakes.

Han-cheol, may I have one too?

Sure.

We aren't going on a picnic.

Take it back.

Right.

I'm sorry.

How can you be so cold?

Do you want to eat the rice cake that badly?

It's not that.

You know how his mother felt when she sent him...

...the rice cake.

It's a bribe.

Rice cakes can't be a bribe.

In Korea, a bribery is sometimes called "the rice cake price."

Right.

Wow.

You should get an award as a businessman with integrity.

Let us begin the meeting. Brief me.

Right here?

Well, is there a problem?

You aren't making a game that I want.

I have to want the new game.

It may sound similar,...

...but the meaning it contains is completely different.

I know.

Your taste in games is also one of our research items,...

...so tell me which genre you like.

I do not have a taste.

You don't enjoy playing any games?

Not at all.

You do want to make a game, don't you?

Not all good students enjoy studying.

Wait, you don't like games?

I don't.

Goodness.

How can you sound so confident about not liking games?

Is that a problem for making games?

Yes, it is. Of course, it is.

It's a huge problem.

I can overcome that if I make an effort.

People who make an effort can never win against someone who enjoys it.

We have to enjoy doing it.

I cannot agree with that.

I think you are overly confident about what you can do.

The precondition is wrong again.

I trust myself because I am competent.

Competent about what?

Are you good at playing games?

I can at least win against you.

Goodness.

You do know that I'm a daughter of a man who runs a game shop, right?

I do.

Fine.

No matter which game it is, if you win one round against me,...

...I will accept what you say without any condition.

If you're going to do that when you lose the match,...

...that is already a condition.

Just say that you don't feel confident.

Bring me any game you want to play.

I'll fight against you.

Okay. Let's do it.

Anyway, didn't you say you were going to the new office?

It does have a great view.

What's to hate?

Of course.

Our new office has...

...all the same functions which our old office had.

An outdoor pool which you are free to use whenever you wish.

A gym out in nature with the most excellent view.

A multipurpose resting area where all the employees can rest together.

And a trail that will refresh...

...your frustrated heart?

I knew you would like it.

Also, I cooperated with another facility...

...and came to terms with them to let our employees enjoy...

...some water sports whenever they wish.

That's a new type of benefit.

Everything sounds great.

But isn't it a little too far to come and work here?

According to a survey done on office workers who work in Seoul,...

...their average commute is 101.1 minutes.

It also takes 101 minutes to come to Yangpyeong from Gangnam Station.

There is no problem as the commuting time is within average.

Oh, what about our hotel-quality buffet, which boosted the satisfaction level...

...of our workplace?

You don't have to worry about that.

An organic farm that will take care of our employees' healthy meals is...

...waiting for you, Ms. Shin.

Wow.

You can take a look around.

I have some business to take care of.

Wow.

I can't believe he was serious when he decided...

...to do this.

Gosh.

Hey.

It looks good.

Wow.

Sweet food is the best for stress.

Nice.

My gosh.

Goodness, my clumsiness is probably an illness.

Man.

Goodness! A bee?

Oh, gosh. Goodness.

You have to meet the construction deadline.

Yes, once the bee problem is resolved,...

...everything else will be easy.

I see.

What will you do about the outer wall?

I thought it would be better aesthetically to finish it neatly.

No, it's all right.

Please just finish up what I asked...

Bees?

- Bees! - Help me!

Help me!

Miss, don't come here! Go away!

Go away! Go!

Go away!

Go away!

Do you know how to swim?

What?

To the right!

I'm going to hold you.

What?

Darn it!

Go!

(We thank the King for their guest appearance)

(Level Up)

You only get one chance.

Are you two brothers?

You jerk!

Who are you? You jerk!

Dad, don't do that!

Why didn't you say so?

Then I will make you nervous again.

Mr. Ahn has maintained his 100 percent rate...

...as he played numerous games.

But there is something that you don't know.

That I'm very thankful for you.

Oh, no.

Mr. Ahn!
