EPISODE 10

Who are you, really?

I hoped…

And who is Do-san?

…she would notice me…

Mr. Han, please…

Say something!

…and look at me one day.

Hey.

Do-san.

Do you remember the place where we used to leave our letters 15 years?

Where is it?

Answer my question. Please.

But not with those eyes.

Why can't you answer my question?

And why is Mr. Han here, not you?

Regrets always come too late.

I want you to explain to me.

Be honest.

No more lies.

I don't want to be fooled anymore.

Who wrote the letters

15 years ago?

Was it Do-san

or you?

Your grandma asked me for a favor.

She wanted to give you a friend.

So I wrote the letters.

It was a lie from the beginning.

Then what about Do-san's name?

Why did you use his name?

It didn't mean anything.

I just happened to see the name

in a newspaper article.

Just a name in an article?

So he was a complete stranger.

Then how did Do-san show up at the networking party?

If what you're saying is true, he must not have known me.

So how?

I found him.

Nam Do-san from the article.

And I asked him to be the Nam Do-san from the letters

and attend the party.

Then why…

did Do-san go along with that?

I was a stranger to him.

Back then, Samsan Tech was

in need of investments.

So he did it for money.

No, that's not true.

It may have been at first, but his feelings about you became real.

-I also-- -How do you know that?

It was all a lie from the beginning. How am I supposed to believe that?

Ms. Seo, I…

TEXT NECK

Are you with Dal-mi? Where are you?

Okay.

Okay.

Are you okay?

Don't worry. I'll see you when you get back.

Bye.

-Was that Do-san? -Yes.

A bug occurred in the end.

A bug?

-Did Ms. Seo find out everything? -Yes.

Didn't I tell you that we should remove the bug first?

What if our company has to close down?

Close down? Why?

Ms. Jung, I didn't say anything.

-Should I rotate it? -The other way.

What did Ms. Seo find out?

I didn't say anything. Hey, did you say something?

No, I didn't.

Tell me. Right now!

It's all over now.

Start-ups should forbid romance within the company.

"Forbid"? It's not a crime to have feelings for someone.

He's right. It's not strange for a guy and a girl to develop feelings

for each other--

That should not happen.

We're five people. Imagine two of us date and then break up.

How awkward would that be?

"Ex-girlfriend, here's the portfolio."

"Ex-boyfriend, are you done with the coding?"

Kill me now.

Maybe they won't break up.

Right.

You never know.

Just think about it.

It turned out that the letters were from another guy.

And Han Ji-pyeong, of all people.

He's rich, well-educated, and good-looking.

Who wouldn't be swayed?

Han Ji-pyeong versus Nam Do-san?

Han Ji-pyeong wins, for sure.

There's no question about it.

I mean, I don't think Do-san is that lacking compared to Mr. Han.

He's not just lacking. He's very lacking.

Do-san has something that Mr. Han doesn't--

No.

-Gosh. -This is annoying.

Wealth, education, connections… In every aspect.

Does that really matter? What's important when you like someone?

Your feelings are.

They sure are important.

But now her feelings are split

between her first love and the person she likes now.

If she likes the two equally,

how do you know which one is true love?

This is annoying.

Dad, I got a love letter.

Isn't his handwriting amazing?

He's my age. His name is Nam Do-san.

Isn't that such a special name?

Take this.

My business card.

SAMSAN TECH

SAMSAN TECH, NAM DO-SAN

So I'm following in your footsteps.

I'm going to start a company, like you did.

We…

got in.

-For real? -Yes, for real.

Well, we'll just get lost.

"Sail off without a map." Remember?

Dal-mi, stop crying.

Please, stop crying.

It was just for one day.

I just wanted to make your dream come true for one day, and stop.

But…

That one day felt so nice that I missed my chance to stop.

I kept putting it off until tomorrow and ended up

wanting to go on as long as I could.

Dal-mi, I'm sorry, so please…

You're not supposed to say sorry.

You're supposed to say I'm mistaken.

Say that you're the Do-san I knew.

Why are you saying you're sorry?

That means this was all a lie.

That means all of this was fake.

I'm sorry.

Was it fun?

Watching me get excited

over those fake letters like an idiot,

then announce I'd start a company like you

when I was obviously in over my head?

Was it fun?

It was painful.

When you looked at me…

When you smiled at me…

When you encouraged me…

Knowing that I didn't fully deserve it tore me apart.

I…

I wanted to be the person you wanted.

But I couldn't, and it was just so hard to bear.

The person I want?

I don't know who that is.

Yes, Dal-mi got home safe.

She went to bed right away.

No. She said she was tired, so I didn't ask her anything.

Don't worry. She's fine. She will be.

Okay. Good night.

AN EVENT WHERE START-UPS DEMONSTRATE

THEIR PRODUCTS AND BUSINESS MODELS TO INVESTORS

What are you doing?

When your eyesight worsens, these things can be dangerous.

Should you be worrying about my eyesight now?

Yes, I should be.

Do you know what torments me the most?

I can't understand what's going on around me,

and it pains me to see you.

But I still have to work.

I have to prepare for Demo Day and have to make

NoonGil work.

I have to keep working

with you and Mr. Han as if nothing happened.

Sadly, I'm not that big of a person.

That's why I look like a mess.

Okay.

Let's not meet outside work for the time being.

UNITE AND FIGHT

STOP MOU WITH INJAE COMPANY

Please make sure you mention that often in your article.

-We say no! -We say no!

Hello, Mr. Oh Yeon-ho.

You… How dare you show up here?

Wait, you even brought reporters?

Can we talk for a minute?

We have nothing to talk about.

Why don't you go talk to our manager instead?

Fine, where is he?

Mr. Nam, this woman is here to take the bread out of our mouths!

She even brought reporters.

Who is here?

Hello, I'm Won In-jae, CEO of Injae Company.

I'm Nam Seong-hwan.

-I don't like the way she looks. -That witch.

That young thing is the CEO?

-She fired us all! -How can such a brat run a company?

-How dare you show up here? -We don't want you here!

-Go back! -You're the one who fired us!

Silence!

You brought all these reporters.

Welcome.

I ask you all to report everything we say today

in an impartial manner.

A fair report!

-Hear, hear! -An impartial report!

I'd like to attend the meeting between you and Haun Engineering and Construction.

Suit yourself.

Are you the ones who developed the damn manpower reduction model?

It's called the manpower efficiency model.

There's no difference. Its goal is to fire people.

-Sand Box? -Yes, that's where we're located.

Isn't that where his son entered recently?

Really? I entered there recently myself, too.

-What's your son's name? -That's none of your business.

MANAGER NAM SEONG-HWAN

Let's go.

-Let's go! -We must stand our ground!

-We'll fight to the end! -Keep fighting!

Is your son Nam Do-san of Samsan Tech, by any chance?

Why do you want to know that?

I just find it interesting.

Samsan Tech developed a solution to fire people, too.

And here you are, protesting against it.

Does your son know about your fight?

The elevator's here.

Okay.

Going up.

-Are you okay? -Mr. Nam!

Don't air this on TV. It can't be on TV!

Pardon?

-Mr. Nam! -Carry him on your back.

Hurry up!

What's with him?

-Be careful. -This way.

-What happened? -Put him down carefully.

My gosh.

He collapsed, all of a sudden.

That rude CEO got his blood pressure up.

Why didn't you take him to the hospital?

Don't worry about me. I'm fine.

You're not fine. You're strong enough to climb Mount Jiri, and you collapsed.

We'll take you to the hospital immediately…

Maybe that's…

unnecessary.

It's absolutely unnecessary.

You guys get back.

What? We can't leave you here like this.

I want at least you to be there.

And don't tell anyone that I collapsed, okay?

He'll be fine. Don't worry.

Still…

All right.

Please take good care of him.

I will, don't worry.

-See you later. -See you.

-Let's go. -Take care.

-See you. -Bye.

-You don't have to see us out. -No, I should.

What's going on? Why did you put on a show like that?

My goodness.

There's a problem, honey.

I might end up ruining Do-san's future.

What?

What are you doing?

Aren't you feeling great today?

With a crow cawing and everything.

In Korea, it means that a long-awaited guest will visit you, right?

That's a magpie.

A crow cawing is believed to mean bad luck.

I think both are absurd, anyway.

Do you have a minute?

I have something to tell you.

Let's see… Mr. Park.

We should hold an orientation session for CEOs before Demo Day.

I've put up a notice.

Oh, right. Ms. Yoon.

-Something's been bothering me. -What is it?

Do you remember the CEO who killed himself a few years back?

Was it the CEO of Charging Partner in the second program?

What about him?

It seems like his younger brother got into the 12th program.

-Who is it? -Here.

I found out while sorting through documents.

He's the deceased CEO's brother, right?

I don't know the details because I wasn't here.

Do you know why he killed himself?

I heard that it happened right after Demo Day.

As you know,

since the event may lead to actual investments,

investors tend to ask harsh questions at Demo Day.

They sure do.

I usually get exhausted just from hearing the questions.

Imagine how the CEOs must feel. They have to fight through it.

Back then, Charging Partner was going through a lot, as it was,

and the CEO wasn't strong enough to fight through it.

I wonder why his brother entered here.

I'd never go near a place where a member of my family died.

"Revenge"? What? That's scary.

I WANT TO GET MY REVENGE

His family may have gotten the wrong idea

that he died because of someone here.

Silicon Valley?

You mean the Silicon Valley in San Francisco?

Yes, and that's where the 2STO headquarters are.

I'd like to hire you as an engineer for our headquarters.

The compensation will be the best in the industry.

300 million a year, plus stock worth 1.5 billion over four years.

What do you say?

Well, I'm not sure.

Mr. Nam. We're 2STO.

And we're Samsan Tech.

Hey.

Work experience at the 2STO headquarters can change your company's future.

Investors will line up with money.

They'll want to invest in whatever you do.

Let's say you write a book about your experience at 2STO.

What's it called? Royalties. You'll be able to live off royalties.

I'm not interested in writing a book. I'm a terrible writer.

That's not the point.

Are you pushing me away because you think I'm like Chairman Won?

He and I are very different people.

I'm not trying to exploit you.

I know that.

I still don't want to.

Fine. How about this?

You go back to Samsan Tech after three years.

What do you say?

It'll give Samsan Tech wings.

-I'm running late. -Have you no ambition?

No dreams?

I have dreams, of course.

I'll make your dreams come true.

I'll make you successful.

Does my dream have to be success?

Can't it be a person?

What?

A person?

A person? Who?

What should we do?

I can do this. I have to do this.

I have to.

-Good morning. -Hi.

Good morning.

-I'm sorry I didn't come back yesterday. -Not a problem.

As a token of my apology, I'll buy everyone coffee.

That sounds great. I'll have an iced Americano.

-I'll have an iced vanilla latte. -I'll have that too. It's the best.

One iced Americano and two iced vanilla lattes.

Yes.

Is she okay?

I think so.

Well… I'm getting everyone coffee. An iced Americano for you, right?

Yes.

It does look awkward, but it's probably not over.

No, it's not over.

It is over. Isn't that obvious?

-No, it isn't over. -It isn't.

It's okay.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

CHEONG-MYEONG CORN DOG

How is she? Is she okay?

She cried a lot, so I'm quite worried.

She's not okay.

Seeing Dal-mi's face this morning, I realized what I've done.

I thought I started it to make her laugh more,

but I was wrong. I was just being selfish.

They say white lies are harmless,

but that's also a lie.

There's no such thing as a harmless lie.

It always ends up hurting someone.

Light reflection at dusk or a backlit object

can cause false negatives and false positives.

When light reflection occurs, why don't we apply LBP preprocessing?

We could also perform a deep learning-based object detection task.

LBP?

But LBP is for differentiating textures.

How about we apply R-CNN?

We could build a data set.

-It'd involves various lighting. -R-CNN?

It might also be a good idea to perform data augmentation

through optical transformation.

-All right. -Let's do that.

That sounds good.

-Ms. Seo, where are you? -We're going to lunch soon.

I'm meeting someone for lunch. Go without me.

Miss, I'm sorry,

but if you're by yourself, can you sit with those people over there?

The place gets full during lunchtime.

Oh, okay.

I'm with her.

Oh, I see. Then two bowls of bibim guksu?

Yes, please.

Please hear me out.

I know you feel uncomfortable, but I have something to tell you.

What is it?

The other day, you told me to be honest.

There are other things that you don't know.

Is there more?

Mr. Nam Do-san and I are

not that close.

To be honest, I don't really like him.

I see.

But I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

He didn't do everything because I asked him to.

Going to the networking party,

giving you his business card,

and asking you to be the CEO at Sand Box…

He did all that because he wanted to.

-Two bowls of bibim guksu, right? -Yes. Thank you.

Well… I'd like to ask you something.

What is it?

Do you really go to Gapyeong every week

to have pine nut kalguksu?

No. I'd never even tried it before you brought me some.

I shouldn't have been so nosy.

You weren't nosy.

I like you.

I didn't know I'd say this while mixing noodles.

I have feelings for you,

Ms. Seo.

I'm telling you this to be honest, not to make you uncomfortable.

It's just how I feel.

I don't expect an answer, so don't let it bother you.

I don't want us to end up avoiding each other because of this.

That'd be pathetic.

Dig in before the noodles get soggy.

Oh, the pine nut kalguksu that you got me…

It was really delicious.

Okay. See you.

-Do-san's not coming? -He doesn't have much of an appetite.

I really didn't want to say this.

-But isn't it strange? -What do you mean?

To be blunt, what did Do-san do so wrong?

He's been lying for Ms. Seo's sake. And it made her happy.

I don't understand it, either.

How could she not understand how Do-san feels?

Exactly. She's so clueless.

If I were Do-san, I'd feel really hurt.

Right.

It hurts so much when someone doesn't understand how you feel.

I know exactly how that feels.

You do? By any chance,

do you have a crush on someone?

See?

You still don't get it.

Wait. Me?

Chul-san?

Oh, I'm sorry.

-What? -Is this a dream?

Is this really happening?

How can I be so slow?

Ms. Jung, I'm sorry. Did I make you sad?

Hey, I got goosebumps.

Ms. Jung, then…

is this our first day together?

Is it?

No.

No?

I was lying.

Right? I knew it.

Ms. Jung, you made a fool of me.

What are you talking about? I was lying for your own good.

Didn't it make you happy? This is exactly what Mr. Nam did.

Gosh, I get it now.

What Do-san did is definitely wrong.

You're right. I get it, too.

Ms. Jung, you're brilliant.

Is this fun?

Just eat your freaking bread.

CHEONG-MYEONG CORN DOG

Hey.

Hey! Who are you?

Why are you making it hard for me to find part-timers?

Let me see your face.

Mother.

Hey. What is this?

Are you still holding a grudge against me?

No, that's absurd.

I'm ashamed of what I did.

Then why are you sabotaging my business?

You're saying one thing and doing another!

No, it's not like that, Mother.

What?

Can I…

Can I work part-time for you?

Work part-time?

Oh, my.

I mean… Unbelievable.

So you're saying

you ran away from home and have been sleeping on the streets?

I didn't exactly run away from home. I just left home.

And I haven't slept on the streets.

I've been eating and sleeping

at internet cafes and saunas.

Now that you have nowhere to go, you want to live off me?

I'm not going to live off you.

CHEONG-MYEONG CORN DOG

You need someone to help you, and I need money.

We can help each other.

That's the approach I'd like to suggest.

I don't want to.

I'm your mother-in-law, after all.

No, I'm your ex-mother-in-law.

How about we go one step further and you employ me?

I'm not so forgiving a person that I can be nice to you.

You remind me of my poor son, and it tears me apart.

So I think it's best if we remain strangers to each other.

Ms. Seo, are you not getting off?

You guys go ahead. I have to prepare my Demo Day pitch.

-We'll help you. -No, please go ahead.

I'm meeting a friend later, too.

A friend? Who?

Just a friend of mine.

-Okay, see you. -See you.

Do you think that "friend" of hers might be Mr. Han?

No way.

It is him.

What should we do? Our goalie's received a yellow card.

What else? This is where the full-backs come in.

What is this? What are you doing?

Ms. Seo is super busy right now.

You can talk to us instead.

I'm not here to see Ms. Seo.

I'm here to see Mr. Nam.

Has NoonGil generated any revenue in the past three months?

Business is all about numbers. Tell me about your profit model.

What's your core technology? Is it patented?

Tell me your estimated BEP and financing plan.

How big is your target market? Isn't it too small?

What's your strongest weapon?

WHAT'S YOUR STRONGEST WEAPON?

-Did you get everything down? -Yes.

What are they?

The questions Ms. Seo might be asked at Demo Day.

Only, they'll be even sharper.

Tell them you have no competitors, and they'll ask

if your business is really needed.

Tell them you do, they'll grill you about your patent status and entry barriers.

No matter how you answer, you'll be attacked.

Prepare thoroughly so that Ms. Seo doesn't get hurt.

I'm not sure if you should be giving me advice in this situation.

I wanted to act like a brother one last time.

"One last time"?

I told Ms. Seo that I have feelings for her.

So I can't be a brother to you anymore.

I won't give you advice or lend you things.

Cars, clothes, watches…

I don't need them.

And my past.

I don't need that, either.

To be honest, I'm not sure.

To be honest, I'm not sure.

Which will mean more to Ms. Seo,

Nam Do-san without the present or Nam Do-san without the past?

CLAW MACHINE ROOM

One bottle of soju and pork cartilage, please.

Coming right up.

Who are you?

I sat down because I felt like I shouldn't leave you alone.

I'm by myself, too.

Is that okay?

Well, yes.

My, that is really difficult.

You thought there was one person, but there turn out to be two?

You must be so confused.

Which of the two is

the Do-san I liked?

The one who wrote me letters 15 years ago

or the one I'm with now?

I really don't know.

I'm awful, right?

You're not. The ones who lied to you are.

It's okay. It's only natural that you're confused.

Don't feel bad about it.

The worst part is

that I can't trust myself anymore.

I feel like

I'm walking a tightrope these days.

My job is to pitch an unprofitable business.

But I'm losing my confidence.

That's not good.

You can't persuade someone without being sure of yourself.

Now that everything's fake, I feel like I'm a fake, too.

Because I'm confused, the tightrope starts shaking.

I could fall any minute.

What should I do? A CEO shouldn't be this way.

Are you a CEO?

What's the point?

I don't deserve to be.

I'm starting to doubt everything.

No, Dad. She's a lot more qualified for the CEO title than I am.

I'm really a nobody, Dad.

I'm a good-for-nothing bluffing

about starting a business. I'm sorry.

What?

A good-for-nothing has been acting like a genius. I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm not sure if I can do this.

The longer you remain unsure,

the less confident you'll feel.

Make up your mind no matter how hard it is

so that you can overcome it.

You can do this.

How?

Ask for help.

Ask who?

Your ancestors.

My ancestors?

Hold a memorial service for your ancestors

and ask them for help.

It'll bring your fortune back.

-Really? -Really.

Hold on. How can you be so sure?

Wait, what are you doing here?

Is he your friend?

This is bad. You need help from your ancestors, too.

Hold a huge memorial service.

I want to know what led you to that conclusion.

My personal experience.

I used to have text neck just like you.

But after I held a memorial service and prayed to my ancestors…

Look. Do you see this perfectly normal C-shaped curve?

But that can happen without a memorial service.

It happened after I held a memorial service.

I'm recommending this based on actual data.

A memorial service is not superstition. It's science.

Data means nothing unless the other variables

were completely controlled.

What are the experimental and control groups?

You don't know? You didn't compare them?

That renders your data useless.

Have you performed a randomized controlled clinical trial?

No?

Who is this guy?

Nam Do-san.

You could have told me.

Why suffer alone?

Am I suffering? Why?

You probably don't remember because you're drunk.

But you said

that you feel like everything's fake.

That you're losing confidence.

Really?

Without confidence, I'm nothing.

Yes, you're nothing now.

So how can we get your confidence back?

Should I tell you?

-Put me down. -Okay.

Can you show up like that time again?

What?

You know, like at the networking party.

You erased

the most miserable period of my life.

That day,

you were my trophy,

my pride,

my comfort,

my wings…

You were my dream.

Show up like that day again.

It'll give me back my confidence, and I'll be myself again.

You won't remember this when you sober up.

I'm not drunk.

Okay.

You're not.

Wait right here. Don't go anywhere.

I'll be right back.

Yong-san! Chul-san!

Will there be a match?

What the hell?

I'm sorry.

Excuse me. Did you see a girl sitting on that red swing?

A girl with a ponytail, holding that backpack.

Oh, her? She dozed off a little, sobered up, and left.

Thank you.

Man, this won't end well.

It's no different from telling us to close down.

This counts as bullying.

Even when you buy a carton of milk, you check the expiration date and ingredients.

With hundreds of millions of won at stake, this is the least they can do.

We'll be there when you give the pitch.

We can answer the technical questions.

Okay.

You want to keep that suit longer?

Yes, I want to wear it to Demo Day.

Why?

To show Ms. Seo?

I couldn't show her yesterday.

Why not? What happened?

I was too late.

By the time I got there, she'd sobered up and left.

She doesn't remember?

No. She doesn't remember a thing when she sobers up.

So you want to show her at Demo Day?

Yes.

She says she is losing confidence and feels like she's walking a tightrope.

I want to do something for her,

and all I can do is show up in that suit.

A suit that I borrowed.

Gosh, that's so touching.

All right.

Mr. Nam.

Yes?

Is your father doing okay? I'm worried.

He is.

Why are you asking about his father out of the blue?

-I knew it was all a show. -What?

Tell us what this is about.

What was all a show?

I would tell you what this is about, but that wouldn't be fair to your father.

He probably hasn't told you because he doesn't want to get in your way.

So I'm not sure if I should tell you.

Obviously you want to.

So tell me.

-Is it this way? -Yes.

Let's go.

Honey, it's me. My colleagues are coming to our house to visit me.

Tell them I'm sick in bed and send them away.

No, you can't.

If I take part in the protest, how could I face Do-san?

Why not?

Why…

You should go, Dad.

Go out there and fight.

Forget it. I don't even have the energy to.

Do you think you'll be getting in the way of my future if you fight?

Dad.

You're not my pride.

Are you ashamed of me?

And I don't want to be your pride.

It's very tiring to live as someone's pride and joy.

You're afraid of disappointing the person,

so you pretend you're strong and competent.

Let's not be each other's pride and joy.

Let's just…

be father and son.

TO QUESTION BOMBER

How is the preparation for Demo Day going?

If you need any help, feel free to…

How are you? I'm worried.

Dong-cheon, what's that T-shirt?

Gosh, you startled me.

I'm doing an orientation session regarding Demo Day

for the CEOs later.

Really?

Take off that T-shirt, will you?

What? Why?

-Just do as I say. -Why?

Wasn't the orientation session supposed to be conducted by Mr. Park?

He has some business to attend to outside, so I had to take over.

Let's go in.

What's with him?

At Demo Day, you present

the results of your hard work to the whole world.

After giving a short pitch on stage,

you'll answer the judges' questions.

I see broadcasting equipment. Will the event be broadcast?

Yes, the entire event will be broadcast live

for the investors not only in the country but around the world to watch.

What happens to the companies that fail to get investments?

Why are you worrying about failing? Are you not confident?

I heard that 2STO will be at the event, looking for global partners. Is that true?

That's right.

As far as I know, they're looking for partners in the AI field, specifically.

That only leaves two companies.

Forget about 2STO and global partners.

Once you obsess over the scale, you'll feel pressured.

Just look for investors who agree with your business philosophy.

Put aside all the pressure. Step on stage with confidence.

Just show them how excited and enthusiastic you are now,

and it'll be a success.

Don't be intimidated.

-Okay! -Okay!

Oh, my.

Why are there clothes everywhere?

It's Demo Day today.

My team's future depends on my pitch.

What's wrong? You look amazing.

I look stupid.

And incompetent.

For money, of course. What other reason could there be?

Right, it all comes down to money.

It's a good reason and also an honest one.

But I thought this kid would be different.

I thought she'd find a different reason. Not money.

Have you found it?

You're really here.

Honey.

I was informed that you'd been showing up by the Han River lately.

Are you the monster from The Host? Why here?

My, you look so haggard.

Quit this and come back home.

Sang-su, you haven't changed a bit.

You went from being In-jae's secretary to being your father's secretary?

Should that be called a promotion?

You've lived for money all your life, not for pride.

Choose one. If you change the way you live too fast, you'll get lost.

I've been working like a dog

for other people for the last 20 years.

Now I want to work for myself.

When a dog runs off, it only becomes a stray dog.

And then what happens? It either freezes or starves to death.

I'm sorry, honey.

I finally understand you.

If you understand me, come with me while I'm being nice.

Hey!

"While I'm being nice"?

Are you going to hit her or something?

Ma'am, who are you?

Me?

I'm her ex-mother-in-law. What? Do you have a problem?

Hey, leave before I call the police.

Hey, you too.

Leave. Get lost! Get in the car!

Does that help you relax?

I don't know. I've never taken it before.

Can I have one? I'm so nervous.

Too bad. I just took the last one.

Oh, I see.

Ms. Won, is the rumor true?

Are you really the girl on the swing from the Sand Box logo?

Well, yes.

My gosh. For real?

I read about it in Ms. Yoon's book.

The girl who asked her dad to spread sand on the ground after falling?

Yes, it seems so.

So Ms. Won was the beginning of Sand Box?

Exactly.

-Where are you going? -Stop.

I have something I must tell Ms. Seo.

-Tell us instead. -We'll relay every single word.

Jeez.

Fine.

How's Ms. Seo?

Our company's future is on the line. Of course, she's nervous.

Ms. Seo said she felt like she was walking a tightrope.

Walking a tightrope?

Then tell her this.

I'll be her plan B, so she doesn't need to be nervous.

Plan B?

But what if she's also the wrong answer? Then we're screwed.

-Then I'll invest personally. -What?

That gives you a plan B even if you fail this.

-Oh, you mean that plan B. -Yes.

Tell her that.

What was that about? The girl on the swing?

Fine, I borrowed your story when I entered Sand Box.

But I didn't know it'd become such a big deal.

I had no idea that our dad meant so much to Ms. Yoon.

"Our dad"? How can you say that after throwing away his last name?

How can you be so shameless after stealing my memory?

Fine, I'm sorry.

But looking at you now, I'm not sure if what I did was stealing.

What do you mean?

Answer this.

Who's scared of getting on the swing

and whimpering here, you or me?

Who's scared of failure now, you or me?

Do I still have to apologize to you?

Do-san.

Apologize to her.

You did steal it.

You were so insignificant that you had to steal her memory.

You're not confident.

And you put on a show to hide that.

Isn't it tiring?

It must be.

What do you know?

I know it well.

I've done the same thing.

-Aren't they picking up? -No.

The number you have dialed…

Here they come.

Where were you? It's starting soon.

Hold on, Mr. Nam.

This isn't what you were going to wear today, is it?

Weren't you going to wear a suit for Ms. Seo?

A suit? For me?

What are you talking about?

Well…

Chul-san, can we talk?

What? Why?

Just follow me.

Why are you so slow? They obviously need some time alone.

Oh…

Look at your face. Is it because I'm holding your hand?

Why are you so easy?

Are you even burning up?

Ms. Jung.

When you lied to me the other day,

it felt like

I first rose to the top of a skyscraper and then fell to the ground.

I know it didn't mean much to you,

but every little thing you do can make me happy and sad

because I'm old-fashioned.

I mean it.

So I want you to stop

confusing me.

Please.

Okay, I will.

All right.

Let's go back in.

Okay.

Do you remember the suit I wore to the networking party?

I was going to wear that today.

Oh, that suit?

You looked fabulous that day.

Why didn't you wear it?

But that wasn't me.

Dal-mi.

I don't want to confuse you anymore.

So please forget everything you've known about me

so far.

Forget everything I've known about you? What do you mean?

I've never written letters to you.

I've only known you for a few months.

And this is how I dress.

Playing Go-Stop was never my dream.

My birthday isn't May 7.

If you're confused about your feelings for me,

let's pretend nothing happened.

Let's forget everything.

I don't want you to suffer because of that.

But let me tell you one thing.

Samsan Tech couldn't have gotten here

without you.

It's not fake.

It's a real achievement that you made.

I'm confident of that.

So never question it.

Ms. Seo, the rehearsal starts soon. Let's go.

Dal-mi.

You can do this.

I can do this.

I'm not going to Ms. Seo. Stop following me.

I'm not following you. I'm going up, too.

All right.

What you said earlier was really cool.

That you'll be Ms. Seo's plan B. It was so reassuring.

I didn't say that to hear a compliment from you.

You're such a kind and generous man.

Why were you so harsh on my brother?

Your brother?

Tell me.

Why did you

kill my brother?

Are you talking to me? I killed your brother?

Yes.

You must be mistaken.

If I killed your brother, I can't be here.

I'd be in prison. That's absurd.

Look, I don't even know your brother.

I mean, I didn't even know you had a brother, so how could I--

I didn't expect anything from you,

but I thought you'd at least remember him.

Ms. Seo said she felt like she was walking a tightrope.

Walking a tightrope?

Then tell her this.

I'll be her plan B, so she doesn't need to be nervous.

-Mr. Nam. -I have something to ask you.

Sure, what is it?

The offer you made the other day. That you'd give my company wings.

Yes?

Does the offer

still stand?

Yes, of course.

But what changed your mind?

I don't want plan B.

Plan B? What do you mean?

Plan B for when we fail.

SPECIAL THANKS TO LEE BO-YOUNG

I had no idea I'd tell her I like her while mixing noodles.

I pretended to be calm and cool,

but on the inside, I was super nervous.

You have no idea.

I want her to give me an honest answer.

But part of me…

Part of me is scared.

If she turns me down, it's over. It's all over.

I'm scared.

I regret it.

Maybe I shouldn't have told her.

Maybe I should have hid my feelings until the end.

No. You would have regretted that, too.

At least a little bit.

There's no point in regretting it now because there's a reason for every choice.

So just trust your choice.

And when your trust falters like now,

you get a little help from someone else.

Who?

Your ancestors.

My ancestors?

I'm dying to know

who's right here.

This is where I began. Not in an office with a Han River view.

Right here.

What if the solution Ms. Seo came up with is Mr. Han? Will you be able to accept it?

What he said could be true.

I guess we're having a rematch.

If we run a test under the same specs, we'll know which one is better.

I don't want Dal-mi to suffer anymore.

I'll do whatever it takes to win the Demo Day.
