Yesterday…

At that place, I had…

What about yesterday, sir?

I think I had the wrong idea at that place yesterday.

But under the circumstances, anyone would've done that.

Yes, I'll leave and think about it.

We can talk here

since I've decided to talk to you about it.

Anyway, the conclusion is that…

Can you stop moving?

-I am sorry for-- -I get it!

-Where are you going? I'm talking to you! -I said I get it!

KUNMANDU

-Hold on. I'll give our princess a call. -Stop.

Don't call her so early when she's too busy to come home.

-You have a point. -You'll just annoy her.

It's just that I had a strange dream last night.

What dream?

You see, a fine-bred white horse

came galloping toward me.

And a knight in shining armor

jumped right off the horse.

The knight grabbed someone with one arm, all strong and dashing. Our Jae-hee…

My goodness.

A knight came galloping on a white horse for Jae-hee?

Oh my, it must be a sign she's going to date someone.

It would be better if it ends up in marriage.

Jae-hee was on it.

-On what? -The white horse.

The knight on a white horse was our daughter.

Were you even listening to my story?

For crying out loud.

Then who's the princess?

The thing is,

she was saving this pale-faced guy.

What a ridiculous dream!

I'm going to have Jae-hee marry a knight in shining armor.

Daughters often go down the same path their moms went.

You better watch what you say! Take it back!

You'll jinx it!

If Jae-hee comes home with a pale-faced guy,

I'm going to break his neck with spring onions.

What are you looking at?

You seem all right in my eyes. Are you okay?

And what if I'm not? Will you keep holding me like this?

You threw me again.

Again!

Let's continue our conversation from earlier.

So, you were

-apologizing to me-- -No.

-No? -I was telling you to do things properly.

How is that the conclusion?

What did you expect? I'm your boss.

Forget it.

-I'm leaving. -All right.

Am I accompanying you?

You must've forgotten your job already.

I didn't. I'm your secretary.

You told me not to come yesterday.

You told me not to do anything but wait in the car.

I see you're the type to hold grudges.

I told you, didn't I? My view on you is fifty-fifty.

Half trust, half distrust.

If you want my trust, step up your game.

Just wait till I find proof. I'll tear you apart.

Why are you just standing around?

I'll get sick at this rate.

I would be happy if I could punch him just once.

EPISODE 3

BASED ON THE WEBFICTION AND WEBTOON "WHY DON'T YOU KNOW I'M A WOMAN?"

If you're going to pretend you don't know me, commit to it.

If you want to party, we can hang out.

-Are you up? -Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

You're back to being the Taekang Goddess.

I had fun last night.

"Had fun"?

Am I already a thing of the past?

Did you not have fun last night?

That can't be.

-I'm the same. -What do you mean?

I welcome the men who come, but I'm glad when they leave.

It's who I am.

I'll get going first.

Is that line a trend these days?

She's interesting.

How many watches does he have?

This one is a bit weird.

Can he even wear this in public?

You seem all right in my eyes. Are you okay?

And what if I'm not? Will you keep holding me like this?

He can't keep getting away with this.

This won't do.

I need to keep him in line.

What's taking you so long to get my clothes?

-Are you serious? -Sir?

Are you telling me to wear that?

You said you were going out, so I picked the mundane one.

Mundane, you say?

Listen, Special Forces. I'm the face of Taekang.

The clothes that I wear represent Taekang.

You expect me to go out dressed this flashy and play the clown?

Forget it. Pick out some pants.

What are you doing?

I'm your human hanger.

Then why is the hanger turned around?

Are you acting shy?

-Don't tell me you are. -Well…

Even between men, we should keep our manners.

If you undress yourself like it's nothing…

What if I do? You didn't hesitate to stare earlier.

It wasn't on--

It wasn't on purpose, sir.

I was just checking on you.

You would've seen guys do this all the time in the army anyway.

Undress yourself next time.

So that it's fair.

What is it, sir?

Are you a child? You can't even put a tie on properly?

I was going to pay for your hospital bill, but you seem fine.

Who are you? Who sent you?

Did you check if I was injured because of--

Forget it if you weren't hurt.

So where are we going, sir?

Here.

I checked the photos from yesterday.

The photos only show you from home to the art center.

I'll find out which paper he's with and handle it.

Leave him. I already know.

You do?

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR YOON NA-JUNG

You got caught?

What did I tell you? Your brother isn't that easy to--

He couldn't even do one job properly? Fire him!

What if word gets out that I, the head of a news outlet,

was spying on my own people?

-Honey. -What?

The shareholder meeting is coming up.

Exactly.

Do you think he would do that to his secretary at such a critical time?

It doesn't matter who killed who.

What's most important is what your father thinks.

Your brother's risk could be your opportunity.

But your father wants to cover it up before the meeting.

-He won't be able to. -What?

The chairman sure knows how to do the math.

If he thinks he'll take a hit,

he won't spare even family.

Honey, what exactly are you planning?

Yoon Yi-jun's new secretary…

I need to meet him.

Yoon Yi-jun came to the columbarium.

Is he visiting Han Eun-young?

MY DEAR DAUGHTER

HAN EUN-YOUNG

What is he thinking?

Why would he go to a columbarium?

What on earth is this lunatic thinking?

Remember that profiling class I took?

-From a profiler's perspective-- -What do you think, Detective Kim?

We'd need an expert's opinion,

but perpetrators can develop PTSD after an incident.

They sometimes blame the victim.

It stems from the frustration of not getting things to end as planned.

Yes, that's exactly what--

And?

It could be compensatory behavior driven by guilt from cognitive dissonance.

It could be a defense mechanism of a high-functioning sociopath.

What are your thoughts, Wan-gu? Tell me.

-My thoughts? -Yes.

Why do you think Yoon Yi-jun would feel guilty?

Because they were dating.

Thanks for the input.

Confronting the deceased would naturally cause some emotional disturbance.

We'll need to catch on to that.

Let's keep our eyes on him.

RECORDED FILES

Wasn't she your secretary?

She was.

You must've cared about her a lot to visit her all this way.

I came to apologize.

Apologize for what?

I'm the one who made her like that.

I need one more thing to be certain.

By that,

are you saying you did it, sir?

Hey.

Why on earth are you suddenly asking me so many questions?

You knew about this when you came in for the interview.

Are you suddenly scared now

that you'll end up like her?

Quit if you're scared.

I won't stop you.

I won't quit.

I'll stay by your side, sir.

Why on earth are you suddenly asking me so many questions?

Are you suddenly scared now

that you'll end up like her?

He fell for it. This is urgent.

Let's move, Bong-yi.

What are you doing?

Illegally obtained evidence doesn't count.

Of course, I know the rule.

But what if we seize and put pressure on him?

What if Kang confronts him?

The problem is, it's a principle of criminal procedure.

We can't submit this to court. Don't you understand?

Does it show?

Do as you please until the deadline.

If you find nothing,

you'll all pay for it.

We can't just wait until she finds the phone.

-Manager Park. -Should we summon Park Min-hwan?

Go home.

It's not time for me to go home yet.

Just go home.

Secretary Kang.

Just avoid him when he's in that mood.

I used to work in his family home before Managing Director Yoon moved out.

I can understand why he's so cold.

His family is no ordinary family.

The chairman was always strict, but after his mother's untimely death…

Well, Secretary Kang.

You must've signed an NDA. Pretend you didn't hear anything.

You'll get in trouble if you talk about this.

I see.

Do any of his friends or family come to see him?

I haven't seen anyone except Attorney Kim.

He doesn't like visitors.

His eldest sister used to check in on him,

but I guess she's busy these days.

By the way, Secretary Kang…

-Do you have a girlfriend? -Sorry?

Do you have a type?

I have three daughters.

They take after me, so they're pretty.

-Well, I-- -Would you like to meet them?

No, ma'am.

-There's no need to refuse. -It's not that.

Just choose one out of the three.

I came to apologize.

I'm the one who made her like that.

Are you suddenly scared now

that you'll end up like her?

I was going to pay for your hospital bill, but you seem fine.

SAESUPGIL HAEJANGGUK

One large haejangguk, please.

Goodness, could you stop drinking?

Someone might think you went through something tragic.

Why is a pretty thing like you always coming alone

only to act all pathetic?

Everyone is going through something.

Including you?

Of course.

I…

know a very big secret.

-What is it? -Actually,

she'll get into a car accident and die.

What did you say?

-Impossible. -I haven't gotten that far yet.

That's why you shouldn't pry into other people's secrets.

I'll get my revenge!

Look at her.

She died digging into someone else's secrets too.

Secretary Han!

Secretary Han!

MR. YOON

Hello?

What?

Excuse me?

Thank you, sir.

To sum up, you're saying

there was 10 mL more milk left than there was yesterday?

I drank exactly 250 mL yesterday from this one-liter bottle.

Then how much should be left?

Did you measure 250 mL before drinking the milk yesterday?

-No. -Did you check how much you drank?

No.

Then how are you so certain that you drank 250 mL?

That's how it felt when I lifted the bottle.

Something must've been added to the milk.

So that's why you called me over as if it were an emergency?

This is an emergency.

You said you'd stay by my side.

Throw it away. Something feels off.

Did I say that?

Quit if you're scared.

I won't stop you.

I won't quit.

I'll stay by your side, sir.

Why?

I need money.

No one pays as well as you do, sir.

I did say that.

Therefore, you should work as much as you're being paid.

I'm going to bed.

Okay, good night. I'll get going then.

I said I'm going to bed.

So what?

I want to sleep, but I can't. And I can't even have milk.

Then what should I do?

How much more of this bullshit do I have to listen to at this hour?

Watch over me until I fall asleep.

Wait, I can go to that room when he falls asleep.

I can pick the lock.

I understand.

I'll keep watch by your side

until you fall asleep.

Let's go.

-All right, let's go. -Wait.

-Let's go. Come on. -What about the milk?

You must like documentaries.

She distinguished herself in many battles and led her forces to victory.

You're a history buff.

You know,

there's a statue of her on horseback in Paris.

But what's interesting is that a hero like her had to dress as a man

until she was executed.

So you're into heroes.

But you're going to stay up at this rate.

Let's get you to bed.

-Special Forces, do you know this? -No, sir.

Atalanta is the greatest archer in Greek mythology.

Do you want to spar, sir?

I can put you into a good sleep.

I hate sweating.

Even my cat knows that.

I can't believe my secretary doesn't know that.

I don't care what you like or don't like. Just go to sleep.

But how strange.

Jerry is nice to men.

She likes Kim Si-hyun and even that treacherous Secretary Kim.

She seems to hate only you.

Right, Jerry?

Special Forces

seems to be much lower in rank than you.

You're right.

You're a clever one.

Hey, cat. Come here.

Here.

I heard you can drink this lactose-free milk.

It's really expensive, apparently. So drink up.

Jeez, I told you to drink the milk.

If you keep acting so guarded around me, he'll get more suspicious.

Let's be friends now, okay?

Hey, stop glaring at me.

Treat yourself to a good night's rest after a long day.

Meditate to help yourself drift into a deep sleep

by relaxing your body and mind through breathing.

Are you yawning?

I'm only human, sir.

I drove around all day,

and I had to listen to English for more than an hour.

And I have to come back to work as soon as you go to bed.

How can I not feel tired?

Fine. I won't yawn.

Your body and mind become calm.

I was breathing.

With each exhale, release all your tension.

I don't like any of it.

From start to finish, all of it.

Secretary Kang?

Secretary Kang.

Secretary Kang.

Why are you sleeping here?

Why am I here?

How would I know? I was so surprised.

Where's Mr. Yoon?

He's probably in bed.

I'll be right back for work.

What?

Gosh, this darn cat.

She's picky like her master.

What's this?

The surface that came into contact with the milk turned black.

That's how it felt when I lifted the bottle.

Something must've been added to the milk.

This way, please.

Something is going on in this house that I don't know about.

All right. I'll go this way, and you go that way.

-Okay. -See you.

Captain.

-You don't see him, right? -No.

Park Min-hwan doesn't seem to be here. Where could he have gone?

He went off the radar, even leaving his car behind.

We need to trace his movements. Where is the management office?

Seok-jin, please come to Yoon Yi-jun's house. Hurry.

We need to go to Detective Kang.

Why? Did she cause trouble?

Let's have soju next time.

Is someone nearby?

I don't think I can make it today.

Are you in danger? I'll be there in three minutes.

Right, did you receive the mail?

Mailbox?

I'm a little busy right now.

I'll check your message in ten minutes.

Understood. Nothing is wrong, right?

Of course.

Good. Don't make me worry.

I won't.

Wait!

I'm Secretary Jung!

Secretary Jung?

"I was unaware that the world outside was a frozen wasteland."

"I was able to live a warm, cozy life thanks to your love."

"But I took it for granted…"

Sir!

My kid is entering English kindergarten this year.

If I go home like this,

my wife will kill me.

Have mercy on me.

You boldly quit right in my face,

and now you want your job back?

How could I ever dare sully that handsome face?

That resignation letter I so humbly placed in your delicate hands…

Could you tear it up just this once?

You.

You said you'd watch over me in my sleep.

Why did you go outside?

I was patrolling.

Patrolling?

I had to stay on guard so you could sleep comfortably.

I see, and that's how you caught Secretary Jung?

And in order to stay on guard,

you fell asleep before I did.

You called me in the middle of the night and woke me up.

My contract doesn't cover early mornings, sir.

That's why I didn't wake you up later.

You were sleeping soundly.

-You were sleeping like a baby. -You should've woken me up then.

How dare you talk back to me?

-Let me dare to add something. -Don't you dare.

I'll expense yesterday's taxi fare.

Submit the plant consortium proposal by tonight, Secretary Gu.

People don't change.

He's amazing.

-Secretary Jung. -Wait!

Here's a new tissue.

It's gross.

Thanks.

Why did you want to see me?

Follow me.

Hello.

Attorney Kim Si-hyun is here, sir.

CHAIRMAN YOON TAE-SIK

If Chairman Yoon is at the center of Taekang's power…

BREAK ROOM

…those ladies are

at the center of all its rumors.

Cho Young-sook, the head janitor.

Hong Young-chun, the janitor in charge of the chairman's office.

Together, they are the Young Sisters,

Taekang's unofficial people of influence

who can infiltrate anywhere and uncover any secret.

Really?

Secretary Jung from the 32nd floor is coming back?

Secretary Jung?

He's a new recruit. He works on the seventh floor.

I see. What's your name, new recruit?

There are three Bins in Korea.

Hyun Bin, Won Bin,

and Wan-bin.

I'm Jung Wan-bin.

Pleased to meet you.

Who are you comparing yourself to with that face?

Why would he come back crawling after quitting work?

There's only one reason for someone to come crawling back.

Money.

Money!

Who knows? It looks like I'm the only one who'll suffer.

Just let me catch that punk once.

Just once.

Secretary Jung and the head janitor are sworn enemies.

She had to come to work today on her mother-in-law's death anniversary.

Wait, 32nd floor?

Ma'am.

Why don't you make use of me?

You're really going to pretend you don't know me? How hurtful.

Let's have dinner.

You're full of surprises, Ms. Lee.

-Is that a no? -I'd love to.

But unfortunately, I already have plans.

With Mr. Yoon Yi-jun?

A fun person who's also perceptive?

Now I'm tempted to cancel my plans.

How about tomorrow?

We'll have a full course, whichever cuisine you like.

Now that it's come to this, we need to get this right.

I'm the first secretary, and you're the second.

By experience and rank,

I'm your senior, and you're my junior.

I understand.

Now that we're close, tell me the secret then.

What secret?

How did you get so close to Mr. Yoon in less than a week?

How could you say something so outrageous?

He trusts you way more than me, Secretary Jung.

He let you come back.

Of course. We've known each other for years.

Is that how you became his right-hand man?

Right-hand man?

In your eyes, Mr. Right-hand Man, what kind of person is Mr. Yoon?

Because I'm so lacking, I can't seem to figure him out.

Of course not.

I'll tell you, as the right-hand man.

He was raised from birth to be Taekang's heir.

He was in a position

where he had to take responsibility, with no room for mistakes.

It's the minister.

Hello, sir. This is Yoon Tae-sik.

We'll proceed as discussed.

Thank you, sir.

Is this all you can do?

Will you keep slacking off?

I told you countless times that you're Taekang's future!

I'm sorry, Father.

I'll do better.

I'm sick of your apologies.

Stay like that for an hour.

Yes, sir.

I'll make sure to correct that.

I understand. Yes, sir.

I'm dying to see how badly you planned

to screw me over.

Secretary Han!

Secretary Han.

Mr. Yoon is perfect.

He has to be perfect.

It's impossible to read his mind.

Everything he says and does bears Taekang's name,

so he can't take anything lightly.

You don't know he's Taekang's punching bag, do you?

He has to be good.

People will point fingers at him for a small mistake.

He gets compared to the chairman of his prime all the time.

And when his enemies get a chance, they attack him with all their might.

I don't envy his life other than the money he makes.

If I may ask,

do you pity Mr. Yoon?

I'm scared of him.

I'm not sure if he really did that to Secretary Han.

If I was certain he did it,

I wouldn't have come back

even if I had needed the money to have my kid study abroad.

By the way,

I heard Mr. Yoon and Secretary Han were--

That's a baseless rumor.

People asked me that question hundreds of times.

They didn't date.

-They didn't? -I'm absolutely certain.

What makes you so certain?

Because I know the secret between Mr. Yoon and Secretary Han.

Secret?

Well, Secretary Han had a thing going on with another man in the office.

I've given her plenty of advice too.

Also, Mr. Yoon…

has a unique type.

-The women he likes are… -Well, I almost got the wrong idea.

As his secretary,

you must know his preferences and his personal life

so you don't make mistakes.

Yes, you're right.

So? What's his type?

The type of women he likes is…

What was it about?

Did he try to put you in place and expect you to fall in line?

Well, yes.

Where are you going?

I don't think I need to report my every move to you.

Go home whenever.

Did you get rid of it?

Jerry's bowl in the garden.

The one made of silver?

-I didn't touch it. -Is that so?

Hold on. Stop.

Please check the path of the man in the hat.

Hold on.

It's 3108.

Any updates?

Did you say 3108? Wait.

That number.

Where is he headed?

Change the lane and get closer.

You're certain, right?

This means that there's something else.

Who could be after Park Min-hwan other than us?

The item that he took downstairs on the day of the incident.

What if that's the target?

Would that change a lot of things?

Captain.

Is this really just a case of an unexplained death?

Let's continue this at the station.

Someone is after Park Min-hwan, who has gone off the radar.

It's over for you now, Yoon Yi-jun.

It doesn't look like the phone would be here.

There are just works of art.

What?

Wait.

It's crooked.

I drank exactly 250 mL yesterday from this one-liter bottle.

Then how much should be left?

You can tell

that it's been turned?

It's gotten dimmer than how it was when I left yesterday.

So you can see those details.

For someone so meticulous…

Let's start with why you were sent to the chairman's office instead of me.

Our problem child is too perceptive.

Let's talk when we arrive.

Where's your sidekick?

Sidekick, my foot.

I thought you didn't trust him, but you two have gotten close fast.

I heard you were paying for his cab.

You even let him sleep over.

I shouldn't have let Secretary Gu come back.

It's Secretary Jung.

His last name is neither Gu nor An. It's Jung.

Why did you call the sidekick to your house last night?

I told you he's not my sidekick.

Did you get rid of it?

Jerry's bowl in the garden.

The one made of silver?

Hold on.

I never said it was silver.

What?

Turn the car around.

-Why? -Turn the car around. Now!

Found it.

Let's finish our goodbye

in the interrogation room, Mr. Yoon Yi-jun.

What a shame.

There aren't any reporters here you can chase this time.

I can't wait to hear what excuse you've come up with this time.

What are you so curious about

that you just had to barge in where you weren't supposed to?

Get out.

You're fired as of this moment.

Get out of my house. Now!

What you said to me at the columbarium

was bothering me.

There had to be a reason you forbade me from entering.

I wanted to see for myself.

I thought you were just going to kiss up to me.

Weren't you in it for the money?

Then you should've stayed out of it, whether I killed someone,

was killing someone, or planned to.

I don't want to see you. Get lost.

No.

Now it matters whether you're a suspect or not, sir.

It matters now?

Fine, tell me.

How much do you need to keep quiet?

-That's not it. -What is it then?

Something is happening here that I don't know about.

That milk!

His ideal type is…

-Gosh. -In my entire career,

I've seen Mr. Yoon wasted only once.

I think it was his mother's memorial day.

A spirited person.

If possible,

a brave

and bold person.

That kind of person.

What kind of ideal type is that?

Shouldn't it be things like a pretty face or something?

Jeez.

People like them don't have it.

Don't have what?

The power to support me

in this damned kingdom of Taekang.

People like that don't have it.

That's why I am waiting.

Waiting for what?

A knight on a white horse.

A brave and bold person.

A knight on a white horse.

SPECIAL THANKS TO KIM DO-YOON, JUNG YOO-MIN, AND PARK JUN-MUYN

Everything that goes around here is off.

Pretend you saw nothing.

Or else, you'll resent me.

Tell me how much you want.

Where is Manager Park Min-hwan?

The chairman will name an heir.

All of you, bring your results.

I'll name an heir at the next shareholder meeting.

You've been strangely kind and caring.

-Follow me. -No!

Hey!

What is it that only you know but I don't, Mr. Yoon?

You didn't do it, did you?
