MY BIAS, MY BOSS

Luni, what does it mean if someone gives you a bottle of wine

and says it's from her heart?

In fact, that wine is said to help one's love come true.

That means more than interest.

It's normally used to express a head-on romance.

A head-on romance?

That woman definitely likes you.

CHAN

Da-reum, I'll be out of town for a few days from tomorrow.

Could we meet up at least for a moment before I leave?

So she

likes me?

Let's go. I'll walk you home.

No, thank you.

I need to stop by somewhere. I'll go by myself.

But still, I should walk you...

Mr. Kang, are you okay?

Of course, I'm fine.

Why wouldn't I be?

You seem a little off.

Your face is all red.

- Just go away. - What?

I take back walking you home. It's canceled.

Go on already.

Bye.

Okay, I'll be going then.

Goodbye.

This one is obviously way heavier.

Same amount, my foot.

How come my own mother cares more about Ha-gi than me?

It's ridiculous.

What on earth?

Why is a girl coming out of this house?

Tell me. Who is she?

Why would your employee come all the way to your house?

And what's with those romantic eyes?

I had an urgent proposal to finish. She was here to help. Happy now?

She looked familiar, though.

The nosebleed! The big ice ball!

She's that crazy drunk girl, right?

So she works for you now?

Mind your own business.

Is that wine?

So much for work. You two are totally a thing.

I didn't set it up. She brought it over

saying it was from her heart.

Wait, so she confessed to you?

Well...

She hasn't said it out loud.

Mr. Kang, have this and cheer up.

Good luck.

But she sneaks up to cheer me on.

Mr. Kang!

I'll move next to you.

She randomly puts her hands on me.

Oh, man.

Above all...

She smiles at me every time she sees me.

She must have feelings for me, right?

No.

At that point...

it's love.

What...

Love?

Love.

Love.

COULD WE MEET UP AT LEAST FOR A MOMENT BEFORE I LEAVE?

LEE CHAN OFFICIAL HAS STARTED A LIVE STREAM

TUNE IN RIGHT NOW!

Hi. It's been a while, right?

I have an early start tomorrow, so I can't stay long.

I went live

because I just wanted to see you, even if it was like this.

I can't see you, but you can see me.

There's something I wanted to tell you in person.

I might have hurt you

because I wasn't careful at times

but thank you for always supporting me.

That's how I truly feel.

I read in my favorite book

that sincerity eventually shines through over time.

I hope my sincerity reaches you as well.

Gosh, it's late.

I should go to bed now.

I'll be back. Bye.

THE LIVE STREAM HAS ENDED

DA-REUM

Chan, I'm afraid I don't have time today.

Let's catch up later.

And I'm okay with what happened that day.

Please don't let it bother you.

Thanks for texting me back, Da-reum.

Have a safe trip to your shoot.

I'll be rooting for you from afar.

I'LL BE ROOTING FOR YOU FROM AFAR

APPELLO

Get a grip, Kang Ha-gi.

Act normal.

Just keep it normal.

Thank

you...

Mr. Kang, did you find any more stickers at home?

Yesterday felt like a treasure hunt. It was really fun.

- If you find more... - Ms. Nam.

Yes?

We're at work.

I'm the CEO.

CEO

And you're an employee.

EMPLOYEE

Keep your personal

and work life

separate, okay?

Goodness.

The doors are closing.

Wait, Mr. Kang!

Mr. Kang, let me...

What was that about?

What's wrong with him this early in the morning?

Did I mess up again?

Excuse me. Sorry.

The CEO is going to call me in a bit.

Make some room, please.

Why would he call you?

Why else? Look at that.

The K-Wave project is worth a massive 1.5 billion won.

- Check this out. - Oh, really?

K-SWEETNESS TO SATISFY YOUR 5 SENSES!

"A Dalgona keychain that tastes sweet when you lick it."

Is this really the best an adult could come up with?

It's a 100 percent fail.

If you carry that around, it's totally going to attract bugs.

I hope it works out.

- What's with that look? - Let's start the meeting.

K-WAVE PROJECT INTERNAL CONTEST RESULTS

We took internal submissions

for the K-Wave project hosted by the Korea Heritage Service, right?

Today, I'll announce the winner.

Since there's only one spot

for the fashion category in this project

the choice of item was crucial.

The chosen idea is

Lee...

Min-a's Mosaic Bojagi.

- Congrats! - Congratulations.

- Sit back down. - Sit down quickly.

Min-a, congratulations.

This is awesome.

Ms. Min-a, please come up and walk us through it.

Yes, sir.

Incredible!

Hello.

I'm Lee Min-a, a new hire on the Merchandising...

- Team. - She's nervous.

Well...

My proposed item is the Mosaic Bojagi

inspired by the traditional patchwork wrapping cloth.

The plan is to collaborate with Geosang fabric shop in Jongno

which has been around for three generations.

The patchwork wrapping cloth

closely resembles mosaics and stained glass.

I expect it to feel familiar to international customers too.

It's so pretty.

That's all. Thank you.

Awesome!

Marketing and Merchandising will work on this project together.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

What's that? It's so cute.

A fan of mine drew this character.

It's so cute that I've got it all memorized.

What's this supposed to be, though?

A bear or a pig?

Good point. It has a pig's nose

- but a bear's ears. - I'd say it's a pig.

They're looking for the styling team.

- Okay, we'll head over. - Thanks.

- Chan. - Oh, thank you.

I honestly don't know where you'd be without that photo book.

What makes it so special that you carry it around like a lucky charm?

It just...

makes me feel better.

Whenever I doubt myself

wondering if I should continue with this career

or if people will still love me...

this book cheers me on to keep going.

The fan who made this probably has no idea

that it became your most treasured item.

I don't think she's still my fan.

It's been ten years.

True, so much time has passed.

Who stays that devoted for such a long time?

I adored you for 12 years. I can tell that much.

You are a good person.

If you tried to be a good person so far

that alone makes you a good person.

Actually, there is.

There's one.

SE CORPORATION

What are SE's cars doing here?

No way. Just a moment, please.

GEOSANG FABRIC SHOP

Thank you for making the right decision.

My pleasure.

Sir.

Hello, Ms. Lee.

What's going on here?

You remember we're signing the contract today, right?

Well, the thing is...

Listen, I'm sorry.

SE brought us a similar offer first.

And their terms were far better.

But sir.

I showed you

this Mosaic Bojagi before anyone else.

How could SE possibly know...

Ideas can

overlap, can't they?

Excuse me?

Ms. Nam? That's none of your concern.

The operations team will take care of it.

What?

I'm sorry.

Canceling on the day of the contract? That makes no sense.

They even snatched our workshop.

It seems they're trying to block us from bidding altogether.

We've been backstabbed by SE way too many times.

At this rate, it's definitely an inside job.

We need to root them out, sir.

Are you suggesting there's a spy among us?

- What other explanation is there? - Listen.

I also had...

the same thought for a while.

But my conclusion was

not to recklessly suspect my own Appello people.

Right now, winning this bid is what matters most.

Everyone, focus on coming up with a backup item.

- Yes, sir. - Gosh.

The deadline is in ten days.

- My Dalgona keychain... - Let's stop here.

But the Dalgona...

- We don't have much time... - I'm sorry.

I apologize.

COCOTALK

LEE CHAN'S SCHEDULE CHAT

LEE CHAN'S SCHEDULE FOR DECEMBER

Before makeup today.

I'll still push through.

Is she busy?

DA-REUM

She has such a nice smile.

Mr. Kang, you should go home today.

You pulled an all-nighter yesterday too.

Not until we find a backup item.

If SE snatches the K-Wave project along with their platform launch

we'll lose all our investors.

Then, maybe we should revisit

- my Dalgona... - Are you kidding me?

Read the room, for crying out loud. You're being such a nuisance.

Young-woo, any updates on the traditional boxes?

The wooden lacquer box makers aren't producing any because the lacquer

- won't dry in the winter. - Yes.

And the mother-of-pearl boxes are way over our budget.

How about the binyeo hairpins?

They're already working with another company.

How did it go with the Korean paper hanji?

They refused to collaborate.

So, every single vendor on this list said no?

What now? We're never going to make the deadline at this rate.

All right. Even so

let's keep trying until we find a way.

- Yes, ma'am. - Okay.

Ms. Nam.

Where did you get this?

Pardon?

This keychain.

My mom knows the apprentice of this master knot artisan.

She got it from her.

MASTER KNOT ARTISAN IM CHEONG-RIM

The colors and designs are amazing.

- Right. - I agree.

How do we get in touch?

The master is practically living in seclusion

so even if we go to see her, it might not work.

My mom said she'd ask the apprentice.

- Please... - This has to work.

CEO KANG HA-GI OF APPELLO

I'll be outside your place tomorrow morning.

Pack for a business trip and meet me.

Don't tell anyone where we're going.

Keep this strictly confidential.

"Strictly confidential"?

KEEP THIS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

So, is it just Mr. Kang and me going?

- Ms. Nam, hop in. - Yes, sir.

Anyway, why are we keeping this business trip a secret?

SE tricked us once.

They may do it again.

I want to keep this under the radar

until the contract is signed.

Fair enough. Even we don't know where the master is.

It'd be hard for them to steal the item.

But why are you taking me with you?

You have the closest link to the master.

And more importantly

you're the only one

I can trust right now.

Says someone who once called me a spy.

You can count on me.

I, Nam Da-reum, will take full charge

of escorting you around Jungsan-si.

Please take good care of it.

Thank you. Bye.

I just got off the phone with the natural silk thread place.

We'll have samples by tomorrow.

Brainstorm some ideas on how to turn this into a product.

- Yes, ma'am. - Got it.

Where did Ms. Da-reum go

to find that master knot artisan?

Did Mr. Kang go with her?

Beats me. I'm not sure about the details either.

I see.

I can't believe we're passing by here.

Over there is where I lived.

Down this way is the market.

If you head that way, there's a lake park.

You really do know your way around here.

Of course.

You're practically a spy if you don't know my name around here.

Is that Nam Da-reum...

the same Nam Da-reum standing right here?

NEULPUM CREDIT UNION MEMBER

KIM MI-JA'S ELDEST DAUGHTER, NAM DA-REUM

JOINS SE CORPORATION!

What is that?

You really are a local celebrity.

I can't believe this.

Mo...

Mom.

What's with that banner? Take it down right away.

I paid good money for that, so why would I take it down?

It will stay up there for at least half a year.

I guess you've arrived.

Aren't you coming to see me?

I'm here for work, so I won't be able to visit.

What about the favor I asked for?

Go to your old high school.

She can only spare a brief time after lunch.

Got it.

Thank you so much.

I'll call you later.

Bye.

Don't take a picture of that. Why would you even photograph it?

You are the pride of this entire town.

Ms. Nam Da-reum

of SE Corporation.

If we go straight this way...

- Isn't it pretty? - This...

This whole neighborhood must be full of memories for you.

Right.

It feels a bit weird to be here with you, though.

That's my all-time favorite snack bar!

OUR SNACK FOOD

Wow, I used to go there all the time.

Stay on the inside.

Okay.

He's oddly sweet.

Have a seat and wait for a moment.

I'll call the cafeteria.

- Okay, thank you. - Thank you.

- This way. - Okay.

It's been such a long time.

Should we sit here for a bit?

So, this is your old high school?

Yes.

I used to sit right here

and listen to music a lot.

Nothing has changed.

- You're handsome. - You're so handsome.

- Hello. - Are you a celebrity?

- No. - An actor? Or a model?

You're so handsome. Do you have Instar?

Let's take a selfie.

- Right here. - You're seriously good-looking.

- Awesome. - So handsome.

- Girls? - Jeez.

- I'm not anyone like that. - You're so hot!

What the heck?

- Where are you going? - What...

Wait. Isn't that Da-reum?

Hi, guys. Today, I'm going

to vlog myself getting ready to buy some wholesale stock.

ASEUL-ASEUL CLICK TO VISIT THE WEBSITE

I don't drive

so I'm taking a cab to get my stock.

LIKE, COMMENT, AND SUBSCRIBE!

This is the place I got those strawberry panties from.

I'm going for some daring panties this time.

I prefer to buy products

after seeing and touching them in person.

You have all of those in stock.

HIGH DEMAND EXPECTED BLINK AND IT'S SOLD OUT

I told you to keep it down while I'm recording.

Why aren't you doing any actual work lately?

I am working.

I'm telling you. Video marketing is how you sell these days.

Wait and see. Orders are going to pour in soon.

As if.

Refunds rather poured in for those super push-up bras.

Hey.

I got scammed because I was a newbie back then.

How was I supposed to know the padding would slide to the side?

Which is why you should stick to what you know.

Why sell sexy lingerie you've never even tried on?

You fool.

Darn you.

Looks like I got an order.

BYEOL-A

BYEOL-A

I guess Da-reum went down to our hometown.

What?

- Without saying a word to us? - You're right.

Da-reum showed up at school with a handsome guy.

Maybe it's her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend?

Who was this tall, good-looking guy?

You're incredibly popular with those high school girls.

I bet you broke a few hearts back in your school days.

Well, I suppose I had my moments.

As always

you're so honest.

What about you?

How were your school days?

Make a guess.

I guess you were bright

energetic...

and a total social butterfly like you are now.

Wrong.

I was actually...

an outcast for a while.

I spent many lunch breaks

sitting entirely on my own.

That's why

seeing kids like that earlier...

tugs at me.

It's a feeling only those who have lived it can understand.

Perhaps that's why

you're so quick to care...

for others.

Still, I have

way more good memories here.

I found someone who gave me strength.

I got through it fine thanks to him.

Who was that?

My...

first love.

Seeing how hard he tried

motivated me to push myself harder.

Anyway, I'm really grateful to him.

That's a relief.

I'm glad you had

someone like that back then.

Excuse me.

Are you here to meet my master?

Oh, yes.

- Hello. - Hello.

NAM DA-REUM KANG HA-GI

I came out because Mi-ja begged me, but...

Just give us the location.

We'll handle the talking.

Promise never to mention that you heard from me.

Of course, we promise.

It won't be easy. Try to hold your ground. Good luck.

Excuse me. Anyone here?

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello. May I ask where we can find the master?

She's inside over there.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Wow, look at that color. It turned out amazing.

- Yeong-suk, grab some green onions. - Okay.

- Hello. - Hello.

Who are you?

We're from a company called Appello in Seoul.

This is Master Im Cheong-rim's place, right?

Oh, my. How did you find this place?

Cheong-rim! You have visitors.

Come out and see.

CERTIFICATE OF APPOINTMENT SKILL TRANSMISSION MERIT AWARD

Master Im, this is a mockup we've prepared.

BLENDING TRADITION WITH TRENDS

Appello is a fashion platform that curates local designer brands.

Right now, we're spearheading an initiative

to merge traditional crafts with modern design.

We believe we can help show your work to the world...

What about the manufacturing?

Please don't worry about that.

We've got a highly skilled factory lined up...

A factory?

I'm not interested.

If you're not happy

- with the factory... - No.

I have no words for merchants.

Get out now.

What now?

Ms. Nam, you've done enough here.

I'll drop you off at the bus terminal so head back to Seoul without me.

What about you, sir?

I'm not leaving until I convince Master Im.

I became certain after seeing her in person.

Then...

I'll stay too.

I'll do whatever I can to help.

What are you going to do?

I should do whatever I can.

Ms. Da-reum.

We Koreans look out for each other.

You're making a mountain of kimchi.

How could I just walk away?

Let me help out just a little.

Should I season the pickled napa cabbage?

Your arms are as thin as a pair of chopsticks.

Have you made kimchi before?

It's not an easy feat.

I may not look it, but I helped my mom

for a good few years.

- Pitch in already. - Okay.

Make sure to coat the outsides.

- Like this? - Spread it out.

A farmhand from Seoul is willing to help out.

- What? - Gosh...

- A farmhand? - How cute.

- That looks heavy. Give me that. - Don't be too eager.

It looks heavy.

The napa cabbages are pickled.

He has chopsticks for arms too.

- He's pretty useful, though. - They go here?

You have chopstick arms and so does he.

You look too weak.

- He'll be of use somewhere. - Give me that.

Can he even lift chopsticks to eat?

EYES ONLY FOR YOU, PARK SEO-JIN

Push, push, push it away

Push away the dirt in your heart

To the beat.

Did you tell Da-reum where to go?

You bet.

She was with a coworker.

They looked really busy.

- Right? - Yes.

Working at that huge company in Seoul

must be really hard on her.

She works at SE Corporation of all places.

- There must be lots to do. - SE Corporation?

That's weird. It wasn't called that.

What do you mean?

It wasn't called SE?

- Pell-something. - What?

Pell...

It sounded like pell... Oh, right.

Appello. That's where she works.

APPELLO NAM DA-REUM

What's this?

"Appello"?

- Ms. Da-reum. - Yes?

Do better.

You're not supposed to smack it. You're coating the leaves.

Follow the grain so it gets everywhere.

So it seeps in.

Like this? Is this what you do?

You crushed all the leaves.

Be more gentle.

More caring, okay?

You care about details with everything.

Once I set my mind to it, I go all out.

- I'm wearing this again. - What?

I thought the cast would be the last of it.

Wait. The red rubber gloves.

Did you actually

wear them?

You burst into a fury and said

you had to watch your back and front

and that you couldn't let your guard down.

Did you wear them?

I did wear them, okay?

You swore you wouldn't.

Jeez.

Weren't they nice?

Don't ask.

- Do better. - I am doing better.

Your napa cabbage is almost...

Mi-ja!

Mom.

What are you doing here?

You!

Give me those gloves.

- What? - Go over there

and help move the kimchi.

Give me the rubber gloves!

Okay...

Move.

Mom...

Master Im.

Master Im.

Please give my daughter a chance.

She doesn't do a shoddy job, whatever it is.

With your help, she'll do great.

The kimchi looks amazing.

You bought some quality napa cabbages.

Look at the color.

When you're done

you need to wrap each head carefully.

The more seasoning, the better.

Look at you.

You look good today.

Should I not have registered for a group lesson too?

I can't have all the ladies falling for me

when Mi-mi's right there.

Take a long step backward with your right foot

and go down and count one.

Two.

Again, one

and two.

Again, one.

Arms forward, Mr. Min-woo.

Strengthen your core.

Keep your back straight and strengthen your core.

Watch your core.

Keep your arms down and watch your core.

That's it. Keep this posture. Two.

Again, one.

Breathe in and straighten your back.

Your arms should be up here.

Why are you so weak?

And two.

- Get back up, Mr. Min-woo. - Okay.

This is the last count. One...

SMOOTH PILATES

- What, really? - Yes.

Don't be silly.

Oh, my gosh.

Min-woo.

Come here. We're leaving.

Where to?

Where else?

To your welcome dinner, of course.

- I don't need one. - Let's go.

- Come along. - But I...

- What do you like? - Goodbye.

- Meat. - You're not coming?

- Bye. - See you.

- Take this, please. - Sure.

Oh, dear.

It's so hot.

- Ms. Da-reum. I'll take it. - Thanks.

Where did Mi-ja go?

- Tell your mom dinner's ready. - Okay.

Mom.

Thanks for your help.

After all I went through to raise you...

What work do you do that you're here making kimchi?

Mom, actually...

There's something I didn't tell you.

I...

I quit SE Corporation.

I know.

- You know? - It's Appello or something.

I saw your business card.

I'm sorry I lied.

You were so pleased that I got into SE Corporation.

I didn't want to let you down.

I'm not upset that you left a huge corporation.

You didn't tell me.

That's what hurts.

Wouldn't it have been nice if you'd told me

you were having a hard time at school?

I know it's because you don't want me to worry

but I wonder if it's because you don't trust me.

Each time you keep something from me

I get really upset.

I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

But Mom.

It's a small company

but they use my ideas, and I can voice my opinion.

I feel...

like I can be of use there.

That's why I like Appello

and I'm happier there.

Then all is well.

Whether you work at a big or a small company, all I want...

is for you to be happy.

Thank you, Mom.

Don't cry.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- You too? - How is it?

- I'll get more meat. - Okay.

Ma'am, have some of this.

And this.

Thanks.

My Da-reum.

Look after her for me, Mr. Kang.

She hasn't worked for that long

so she has a lot to learn.

Not a lot, actually.

Just a bit.

She lacks just a bit.

She's diligent and hard-working, though.

All my employees work hard.

I guess you have nothing good

to say about my Da-reum.

Ms. Da-reum

is an exemplary employee.

She's always so cheerful

and she gives every task her all.

She hasn't been with us very long, but she's already been a huge help.

You don't have to worry.

My gosh. Is that so?

I thought she was kind and warmhearted.

She must've gotten that from you.

What?

How did you know that?

People say we're carbon copies whenever we're out together.

- Do they? - Oh, let's clink bowls.

Sure.

You're a good drinker, Mr. Kang.

- Have some more. - Thanks.

Gosh.

- You too. - Thanks.

So, about my Da-reum.

Is she seeing anyone at work?

Or have a crush on someone?

Pardon?

I don't know anything about that.

I'm worried. She doesn't seem to care about dating.

By the way

you look incredibly young.

Are you still unmarried?

Unmarried? Yes, I am.

Are you?

Then

what is your ideal kind of woman?

- Pardon? - You said

Da-reum was kind and warmhearted.

Are you not into that kind of woman?

Well, it's not...

Mom.

Why are you talking nonsense?

Don't grill my boss.

I just wanted to know what his ideal type was.

You're not supposed to ask that at work.

There are reasons too.

Did I just get you fired when you just joined?

- No way. - What if I did?

Ma'am.

The man your daughter has a crush on.

It's me.

APPELLO

Director.

- Hello. - Hello.

What brings you here?

I dropped by after a shoot.

Is Marketing busy these days?

The K-Wave project keeps us here late every day.

Mr. Ha-gi's still here, right?

Mr. Kang's on a business trip.

With Ms. Da-reum.

With Ms. Da-reum?

To sign with a master knot artisan from Ms. Da-reum's hometown.

They seem to be stuck.

I don't think they'll return until the deal is signed.

We're ready for the meeting.

- Okay. - Great.

Director, I have a meeting.

What will you do?

There's no one else here to see. I'll get going.

- Get back safely, Director. - Take care.

A fan of mine drew this character.

It's so cute that I've got it all memorized.

MONTH-END MARKETING MEETING

It was Da-reum.

Will you really be okay going home alone?

You're here for work.

Do your best and win Master Im over, okay?

- Okay. Get home safe, Mom. - I will.

- Get back safely, ma'am. - Thank you, Mr. Kang.

- Take care of my daughter for me. - Don't.

- Bye, Eun-jeong. - Take care.

- Bye, Mom. - Bye.

Get home safe.

I'm pleased that you want to learn how to make these.

I've been doing it for over ten years but I still find it tough.

Master Im always says

making knots is like asceticism or meditation.

She did it all her life and she says it's still hard.

Compared to her, I barely learned how to walk.

Maybe I'm yet to be born.

Anyway, as you can see here

this is a braided cord, and it's covered in braided threads.

I'll teach you how to make a knot out of this.

You must want to get a feel.

Shall we sit over there?

I'll teach you the easiest one.

It's one of the basic knots called dongsimgyeol.

- Dongsimgyeol. - Dongsimgyeol.

First, make a knot loop.

Knot loops are these large holes.

Take the two strands that are hanging

and put them between the second and third loops.

- Like this? - That's perfect.

You're doing well.

And then...

This one...

This goes up and fold...

Do I fold this one or that one?

This... Hang on.

You did it wrong.

It's not like this.

- This goes in here. - Oh, that one?

- That goes first? - And then

you slip this in here.

- Oh, this... - In here.

- In the middle. - Wait. Like this?

It's done. Oh, like this?

TRAINING COMPLETION CEREMONY

We did it. It's done.

After making this myself

it looks extra pretty and I'm so proud of it.

It does.

I get what she meant

when she said it merges with time.

I didn't know so much work went into making such a small knot.

I tried to manage on my own.

Thank you.

It's fine.

Tell us if you need help with anything.

All my fellow students have left.

I'm the last remaining successor.

If I were to quit too

this skill will die out.

Please persuade Master Im for me.

It's a matter of time before we lose all the artisans.

The work is intense, and we barely make a living.

Who would do this?

Factory-made or handmade

I just want people to know about traditional knots.

Is this what you thought all along?

Master Im.

If that's how you think, leave.

Make knots at a factory and make a fortune!

"Make a fortune"?

I'd have quit long ago if that's what I wanted.

I do this to keep the tradition alive.

We need all the help we can get.

I at least...

Why do you say

I'm wrong just because

I take a different approach to protect it?

Ms. Da-reum.

Yes?

Can you come outside?

Give me a moment.

I stuck them in the fire earlier and didn't want to eat them alone.

Roasted sweet potatoes.

I didn't know you like this.

Have a taste.

- It smells amazing. - Watch out. It's hot.

Ms. Da-reum, are you all right?

Spit it out here.

Why is he holding out his hands?

No, it's fine.

Take your time. Don't hurt yourself.

Thank you.

Why is Mr. Kang so nice to me?

It reminds me of my grandma.

She used to roast me sweet potatoes like this.

It must be nice...

to have a kind grandma

and a mother.

Thanks to you

I enjoyed today.

What did you enjoy?

Drinking with your mother.

My mom died when I was a high-school senior.

I never got to do that.

You can scratch that off your bucket list.

I can.

What about you?

Do you have a bucket list?

Sit in the front row at a concert?

Have a pet?

And to hear

someone say to me

that they're glad to have me around.

It's corny, isn't it?

I must've been by the fire for too long.

It's hot.

- I'll take a stroll. - Okay.

What about you?

Would you like

to come with me on a walk?

I have a feeling

I'll remember today for a long time.

Me too.

I'm glad that you were here...

with me.

You took something off my bucket list.

Ms. Da-reum.

You told me before

that you joined Appello

because there was someone you wanted to meet.

Yes, well...

That was true then.

What's going on? Why is he asking me that?

Be honest with me today.

The person you wanted to meet.

Was it me?

Pardon?

Do you see me as a man?

Do you think

that I'm interested in you?

It's just us two here. We can be...

No, wait.

Just a moment.

Is that why you said

you were the CEO and I was an employee

and tried to keep your distance?

Was that really the reason?

I know very well that we can never be.

I know so well who you like.

I did what?

Who could that be?

Oh, well...

Who do I like?

You have a thing for Director Lee Chan.

- What? - For a long time.

What the...

Excuse me?

Don't you worry.

I'll guard your feelings for you.

I'm not prejudiced at all.

Wait, Ms. Da-reum.

All this while

you thought I liked men?

But you do.

Ms. Da-reum.

I'm not into men.

- What? - Also...

there's this woman I'm interested in right now.

What?

MY BIAS, MY BOSS

EPILOGUE

Shall we pull?

Oh, yes.

It's done.

Do you know how to do it now?

Try it yourself.

It's the first thing we made together.

Was it called dongsimgyeol?

Why are you so surprised?

I'm not.

DONGSIMGYEOL KNOT

TO BE OF ONE HEART FOREVER

WISHES FOR ETERNAL LOVE AND PEACE

Who is the woman he's interested in?

- Let's go in my car. - Come with me.

What's this plot twist?

"You're the woman I'm interested in."

Why can't you say it? Why?

How about we stay by each other's side from now on?

Who did she go to see?

You're so handsome.

- Don't be with a guy like that. - Mr. Kang.

It's okay to tell me that you're not okay.
