Original subtitles

(Episode 17)

What brings you all the way here?

I heard you killed a man, Mr. Ga.

I heard that's why you had to leave Ongol.

If you promise to give me the permanent position,

I'll keep my mouth shut.

Are you threatening me right now?

Do whatever you want, then.

Yeol Chan, it looks like we need to say goodbye to Mr. Yeo.

His pneumonia suddenly got worse since last night,

but he couldn't hold on and just passed away.

Ma'am, a guest.

(Funeral Hall)

Guess what?

My parents also sold rice soup at a marketplace.

Every day,

they'd wake up early and boil meat.

They never slept in.

They worked hard until the day they died.

Maybe that's why...

he always reminded me of my father and enraged me.

I wanted to give him a hard time for no reason.

I'm responsible...

for what happened.

I killed him.

What?

He and I didn't have bad blood from the beginning.

Welcome.

This is so delicious.

I know, right?

(Product Development Agreement)

Goodbye.

Come on.

I'm doing this because you remind me of my father.

Your life isn't going to get any better...

if you keep running this restaurant.

Our chairman is willing to help you,

so what's the problem?

(Yeo Hong Seok)

(Yeo Hong Seok)

- Goodbye. - Okay.

It's so good.

Is this the sample? Let's see.

Sir, there's something wrong with this.

It doesn't taste the same.

What are you talking about?

It's tasty.

This isn't just any termination of contract.

Let's be honest. Your rice soup tastes awful.

How dare you talk such nonsense?

Then where are all those customers who used to wait in line?

I did exactly the same as before.

Since when did it taste differently?

(Ox Head Rice Soup)

Give that to me. I'll do it.

You know, my parents also sold rice soup.

Sir.

Let's just give up on this.

Don't be ridiculous!

I know you've been lying to me all this time!

What are you talking about?

Forget it! I know you thieves are all in league with one another.

So?

You're going to sue us?

Today, we will carry out the verification process...

that the defendant requested last time.

They say long trials...

make even the strongest weary.

(Defendant)

(The Bench)

See?

That dish doesn't deserve to be tasted by some professionals.

It's just horrible!

Despite all this, he has no idea what's wrong!

Shouldn't we suspect him of dementia?

We don't need to do a taste test.

He needs to take a psychological test instead.

How could he call that a dish?

I sympathized with him.

I did, but I had to defend my company.

Because my conviction was in my company.

This world has given me too much sorrow.

I can't go on any longer.

I've chosen to end my life.

Sir.

But after that, I was the one in pure torment.

"Goodness, I guess he won't kill himself, after all."

"Fine. I hope you find pleasure in tormenting me."

But when the dust had settled, that was when he attempted suicide.

It was like that story, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

Why didn't you tell me this back then?

Because I wanted to blame you.

I wanted to believe that he did so...

because of something you did to him.

Thinking that way helped me pull through.

I'm sorry, Yeol Chan.

You're right.

He attempted suicide because of something I did.

What's wrong? Does it not suit your taste?

No, sir. It's delicious.

Darn it. Nobody will want to eat this.

Gosh.

I was afraid...

that it was because of me.

I was too scared to turn around.

Goodness.

Have you been bottling it all up in here?

Were you tormenting yourself all along?

What a stupid fool.

What for? What for?

It's all my fault.

It is.

I was the one who pushed him to the edge of the cliff.

I was also the one who ignored him...

when he needed help.

I shouldn't have done that.

So...

it's not your fault.

It's enough...

for me to carry all that burden.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Why isn't he picking up?

He said he was going to sleep early.

Weren't you calling the owner of Taeseon?

I talked to him on the phone earlier.

- Let me know if you need anything. - Okay.

Wait. I'm going to step out for a moment.

I'm sorry.

I have misunderstood your intention.

Please don't demand compensation for damages from him.

Why are you taking this personally?

I want a chance to make up for the mistakes.

For both...

his...

and my sake.

Hey,

can you thank Mr. Lee for me?

Thanks to him, a few people decided to drop the lawsuit.

He said he worked in the industry.

I guess he knew a lot of people.

Thanks to him, I can avoid the worst-case scenario.

(Strategy Proposal to Enter the Market in ASEAN)

(Evaluation Chart for the Permanent Position)

Dad,

don't you have anything to tell me?

Like what?

Well, you know,

you need to make a pretty important decision for the company soon.

And my term at the company...

is nearing its end.

Hey, what do you want from me?

Never mind. Forget it if you have nothing to tell me.

Let's just have a meeting.

What's taking them so long?

So...

you decided not to sue the company in exchange for the formula.

Yes. I told them to do that.

So how will you make up for the loss?

Can you even fix it?

I'll do my best.

Give him another chance.

Gosh.

Hold on.

If we have the formula,

doesn't it mean we can make our own products ourselves...

since we already have the facilities?

It is possible.

If we can make them ourselves,

why would we hire a subcontractor?

We produce it ourselves.

Okay. I will set it up,

so we can start manufacturing it as soon as possible.

Wait!

You know, we got the formula from Taeseon.

And the owner of the company even tried to kill himself.

But even after hiring a poor company like that,

he failed to manage and supervise the company.

We'll let him be off the hook when he was in charge?

Even without a penalty?

If Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon doesn't do well,

should I fire him?

Will that make you feel better?

You bet.

Try Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon.

Our noodles didn't have any carcinogens.

One of the companies that make ingredients for our soup powder...

To be precise, it was the sesame oil that had...

It's the same thing.

My gosh, ma'am. That's not the same thing.

This has nothing to do with that company.

We made it from scratch.

- Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon. - Forget it.

Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon!

(Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon)

Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon will be the next big thing...

after Spicy Chicken Ramyeon.

Please try a sample.

Try a sample.

- No, I don't want to. - Try our new product.

Try a sample.

People said that it was unhealthy.

Wait, that's not true.

This is Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon.

- No, don't eat that. It's bad. - This has carcinogens.

You don't have to buy it, but please try a sample.

That's not true. Try Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon.

You don't have to buy it. Just try a sample.

- I don't want it. - You don't have to buy it.

My gosh, our ramyeon is perfectly safe.

(Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon)

Do I have to eat everything up?

(Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon)

This is good.

(Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon)

(Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon)

It's tasty.

You're back.

My legs. Gosh, my legs hurt.

(Spicy Chicken Ramyeon)

How's the promotion going at Joonsu Mall?

People only bought some when it was 10 cents.

And no one is placing additional orders.

Mr. Ga.

HR will be evaluating us pretty soon.

Let's just give up on this.

Wouldn't it be better...

if we focus on projects that would give us better performance rates?

Mr. Oh.

Are you saying that you don't trust me?

What? No. It's not a matter of my confidence in you.

Other teams are working their heads off to increase their performance.

But we are...

What?

Gosh.

(We put webfoot octopus in ramyeon this time.)

(Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon)

What will happen to you?

(What will happen to you?)

Ms. Lee.

You ruined my life.

But look at you. Are you happy with your brand-new life?

Are you?

How did you find me here?

Don't talk to me.

Hey!

Are you okay?

Mr. Ga.

- Are you all right? - Get up.

Hey.

Who are you?

Let go. Let go of me.

- Come with us. - Let go of me!

Do you think this is over?

You. Just wait for me.

Mr. Ga. Are you all right?

Who's that man?

Why is everyone around you so messed up? Why?

What have you been doing with your life?

It sounds like you're saying...

these things happen because something is wrong with my life.

That's not what I meant.

It's because I was angry.

Why does this make you angry?

I have no idea why I'm like this either.

Thank you for your help today.

Wait, Ms. Lee...

What? Why are the police here?

What's going on between them?

This is making me suddenly want her.

(Trustworthy police, safe country.)

Keep up the good work.

Yes, good work.

Who's that guy?

The president of my previous workplace.

Gosh.

You're one brave girl.

Did you report that president?

So you should be careful too.

I won't let you off either.

My gosh.

Anyway, why is your ex-boss getting all clingy?

Please.

Could you please leave me alone today?

You called me a player and King Euija or whatever,

but you're the one who has a lot of dregs in your life.

D...

"Dregs"?

No, I...

Right.

That's the correct answer.

No, it's not...

a correct answer, per se.

Man, I should've been there.

I mean,

I should save you at least once.

I'm already grateful enough that you came to the police station.

Hey, this is kind of touching.

Hey, what's going on with Ga Yeol Chan? Does he like you?

Come on. Stop saying nonsense.

Right? That's nonsense.

Of course, it is.

"Of course"!

- My goodness. - I thought so.

"Of course"!

This burns.

Gosh, this burns.

It's because I was angry.

Why does this make you angry?

I have no idea why I'm like this either.

Why would he get angry?

Unbelievable.

Goodness.

Why are you looking so wretched all alone?

You got here quickly.

I can't believe I lived to see a day like this.

I can't believe I asked you to have a drink with me.

I lose my confidence day after day.

I never had any to begin with,

so I always ran around trying to do everything.

But after I persistently worked for some time,

I slowly got this gut feeling that something might work out.

But recently,

I'm starting to get suspicious and distrust my gut feelings.

How will you make up for this?

Can you bring it back to normal?

I'll do my best.

I can no longer say,

"Just trust me",

like I used to.

Do you know what happens if you take a step further?

You can just speak out of both sides.

Just say something first, and if it doesn't work out,

turn it all around as if nothing had happened.

Pretend like you don't know even if you do.

After that, just be brazen and say,

"That was then, but this is now."

Be like that.

I really don't want to end up like that.

But if you try doing that, it's kind of easy.

Troubled conscience? That doesn't happen.

If something is about to kill you, you need to save yourself first.

I mean, it's too much work...

to explain it to those kids who don't know a thing.

When things get tough, go whip your subordinates.

Go whip them.

- What? - You were good at that.

Keep whipping them. Whip them. Kill them.

I thought we spoke the same language for a little bit.

Then...

why don't you ask Mr. Cha for help?

He might sound a bit arrogant,

but he looked competent.

It'll take a while for the domestic market,

so it's a good idea to start with international markets.

Mr. Cha...

(Episode 18)

Why are you calling at this hour?

I have a favor to ask.

It's not that difficult to give that a try over here.

But if this goes well, it's our performance.

- Okay? - Sure.

I just need our new product to survive.

That's enough.

Stop trying to be so cool.

It's very annoying.

I'm hanging up.

(Strategy Proposal to Enter the Market in ASEAN)

(Intern Joo Yoon Soo)

(The ASEAN market is receiving attention...)

(This market is also the foundation of the Korean Wave.)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hey, Ms. Lee. You're the talk of the town.

I saw it too.

"The Furious, Ramyeon-Gobbling Woman".

What is that?

Shall we watch it again?

- You seemed quite furious. - I know.

What is this?

Look.

(After being ignored by the customers, )

(this furious Joonsu Food employee gobbles up the ramyeon.)

Look at the view count.

It's unbelievable.

Why was this uploaded?

You ate so much.

There are so many comments too.

Gosh, look at you munching on all that ramyeon.

- Goodness. - When was this uploaded?

It was yesterday afternoon.

This video was on the trending topics.

Goodness.

Mr. Kim, can you print out yesterday's retail sales count...

for Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon?

Yes, sir.

Here you go.

(Retail Sales for Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon)

Did they increase?

What? China ordered our Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon.

My goodness.

They didn't order any samples and ordered 30 containers.

Isn't this amazing?

My goodness.

I can't believe this.

We did it.

I'll be getting a promotion.

Ms. Lee, you did it.

Okay! You have my respect.

This is unbelievable. I can't believe how lucky I am.

- Goodness. - Great job.

This is so fascinating.

Mr. Joo.

I liked your proposal.

But...

I think it'll be even better if you summarized the parts...

that I've checked.

(The title should convey the overall idea.)

(Not many people have the patience to read the entire proposal.)

(Summarize and include background information.)

- About last time... - What is it?

Did something happen?

Also, the mid-term evaluation is just that.

It's not final.

That proposal wasn't even included.

Sir.

Ms. Koo knows about this.

I happened to overhear her and Mr. Kim Do Yeong...

talking.

I'm here to meet with Ms. Koo Ja Sook.

I'm sorry, but I can't let you in unless you have an appointment.

No, he's here to see me.

- Ma'am. - Hello.

Hello, Chairman Cheon.

It's been a while.

(Chairman Namgoong Pyo, owns 33 percent of shares)

(Chairman Cheon Seok Ho, owns 19.8 percent of shares)

All right, then. Sit down.

Goodness.

This quarter, your stock prices...

roller-coasted quite a bit and made me dizzy.

Isn't that more fun for people like you...

who have hefty amounts of money?

I guess you're right.

"Ga Yeol Chan"?

You're choosing him over your own son?

Yes.

If I said I'd appoint my own son,

I doubt valuable individuals like you...

would take our side.

I guess you're right.

He's going to nominate Yeol Chan as the junior managing director?

I had no idea he'd actually do that.

That means he's going to appoint him...

as the managing director in the future.

So what did you say?

What could I say?

I just played along.

You did well.

Darn it!

Is he a cockroach or what?

How does he keep coming back?

Is there a simple way to end him once and for all?

"Once and for all"?

You see it all the time in the dramas.

They'd hide money in the person's bag and drawers...

- and accused them of bribery. - Gosh.

We'd be in a lot of trouble if we did that.

Also, there are surveillance cameras in all the offices.

Then what do you want me to do?

By the way, are you my superior?

Why aren't you proposing any measures?

You need to come up with some plans.

Darn it.

It's a cheap trick.

Compared to the bribery scam you've mentioned,

this is one step higher.

Which is?

Back in the day, we used to do this often.

Soon,

the commemorative event...

for Joon Ramyeon's 55th anniversary will take place.

I've turned a corner, but...

Mr. Kim Do Yeong, a former colleague of yours...

from Ongol, visited Ms. Koo.

I happened to overhear her and Mr. Kim Do Yeong talking.

Isn't my hair so slick?

Hey, Yeol Chan.

What?

What?

Sit down. Sit beside her.

How's your wound?

I was too harsh on you back then.

No, you weren't. You helped me, and yet I got upset at you.

You're right.

By the way,

there was something I've been curious about.

Is it true that you were inspired to make Spicy Chicken Ramyeon...

after seeing a woman eat fiery chicken here?

That's true. And it's you.

Was that a secret?

It was me.

It was true.

But it didn't make a huge impact or anything, right?

- Of course not. - Right?

Then did you also see me...

bawling my eyes out?

I did.

Darn it.

He escapes every time I put him behind bars.

He does that every single time.

Is he a zombie or what?

Why are all the guys around me so despicable?

Why is this world so cruel to me? Why?

Bring it on, world! Come at me, and I'll beat you up!

This world is so bitter toward me, but why?

Darn it.

Right.

- Dear Mr. Ga. - Yes?

Why did you write such comments on our reports?

Well, I didn't think much of it.

I just jotted down since it was just for me.

But you read it too.

You pretend to be cool on the outside.

But in your head, you think you did all the work...

and practically did everyone's work.

Is that what you think?

Well, doesn't everyone think the same way?

They all think they do everything.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Right?

That's true.

But then, why did you give me two thumbs-ups?

Explain why you did that.

I got excited for a second.

I had to give you two thumbs-ups...

because I couldn't criticize to your face.

Thumbs-up.

No, you're good at that.

Right. If you want, I'll keep criticizing you to your face.

Gosh.

Then, what about this?

You put on this serious face in front of me.

"The company is important, but my team members..."

- "are important too." - "Important too."

That's what you said.

Did you say that because you wanted to look cool?

I don't know. Think whatever you want.

Why does she keep asking me questions?

Oh, right. What about that?

Do you remember the incident with Park Beom Jun?

You helped me get away from him and ripped the contract.

Then, you grabbed my wrist...

and took me to the car like a really cool guy.

And a while ago, you protected me...

and got your back smashed for me.

Were you trying to look cool again?

Are you complaining when I saved you?

I'm asking if you were just putting on a show again.

No, I wasn't!

Who would put on a show for something like that?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know what I was doing.

Okay.

Sorry.

Seriously! She kissed me first!

I'm sorry...

that I can't afford to date.

Ms. Tak, what about the market research?

Was that your task, Yoon Soo?

Anyway, can I have that report now?

Yoon Soo,

Mr. Oh asked you to do the market research on dry noodles.

- How's that going? - I'll email it to you now.

Ms. Lee. What are you doing this weekend?

Mr. Ga.

You're here.

My gosh, you ordered a lot.

These are all my favorites.

I wanted to talk to you...

regarding my romantic interests...

objectively.

I see. Okay.

I was lying when I said the ramyeon muse...

wasn't important to me.

Spicy Chicken Ramyeon did change my life.

The same thing happened with Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon.

Pardon?

I got the idea for the ramyeon...

from you.

And it was you who saved Spicy Webfoot Octopus Ramyeon...

when it was going nowhere.

And I kept thinking about you.

I tried not to think about you,

but I couldn't stop.

I thought of you to the point that I got annoyed,

Ms. Lee.

But that night,

when you kissed me out of the blue,

I realized it then.

"Oh, I see. I like her."

I see.

Okay.

To be honest,

there was a time when I liked you too.

Back then, you were so cool and perfect.

But you started to get weird.

As I expected more from you and liked you a lot,

my disappointment was pretty big.

I do think about you from time to time,

but I don't know what this is.

You're such a kkondae.

You're such a kkondae.

I got it.

Wait...

- Hello. - Good morning.

- Hello. - Hello.

Mr. Joo, please check.

(Fine, let's do it.)

Fine, let's do it.

People fall in love even in the middle of a war.

So there's no reason why we shouldn't date.

Then I'll meet you there, Yoon Soo, babe.

(Marketing and Sales, 7 people)

(Then I'll meet you there, Yoon Soo, babe.)

"Yoon Soo, babe"?

Ms. Tak.

What does "babe" mean?

I know what "baby" means, but not that.

What?

You sent a message in our group chat saying, "Yoon Soo, babe."

If it's a trendy word, I wanted to use it too.

- Isn't that cool, babe? - Wait, what? What is this?

This is huge. This is so huge.

What is it? What's going on between you two that you called him "babe"?

- It's... It's a typo. - It's so not a typo.

You wanted to meet him there.

Where is that place? Your babe, Yoon Soo's heart?

The meeting room. I wanted to see him in the meeting room.

Yes, she promised to read over my report in the meeting room.

What report?

Is it about how pretty your babe, Jung Eun is?

No, it's not like that. Stop it.

Let me do this just a bit longer. Give me five minutes.

I'm serious. No.

- No. - How can you two date at this time?

I'm sure you two already know you can't spare any time to do that.

We're all adults here. I'm sure they'll manage.

My gosh, how long has it been since you dated, Tak?

- It has been... - It's not just for my sake.

It's awful to see a couple get lovey-dovey at work,

and if they fight, it's also awful. Don't you know that?

Yes, right.

That's not all.

They'll bring in their relationship into the office...

and look after one another,

then it'll ruin the office atmosphere.

It's such a nuisance!

So what?

It may affect your evaluation in giving you a permanent job!

The evaluation?

My gosh.

- I... I meant... - Unbelievable.

I can't believe this.

- Jung Eun, babe. - My gosh.

Does this mean I can't go in?

No, it's not that.

We don't have a director named Lee Man Sic here.

What are you talking about?

Why won't he pick up his phone?

Hey, I found Mr. Lee Man Sic.

- See? - I found him, but...

Mr. Ga.

This is dalgona coffee, a huge hit between popular kids.

I made it especially for you.

I almost lost my wrists.

I'm sorry I couldn't hang out with you last night.

You know how I don't like overly sweet things like this.

Goodness.

I'm not drinking that. I'm not drinking anything you make.

Man Sic.

Honey.

Hello.

What brings you here?

Hey, Mom!

Why are you here?

Is this where you've been working as an intern?

In the same department with your dad? Both as interns?

Mom?

Dad?

Oh my gosh.

(We thank YoungTak, Cho Han Cheul, and Ahn Suk Hwan.)

(Kkondae Intern)

The managing director?

If I die like this,

someone else will take over this company, 100 percent.

Do you think Joon Su could save this company?

Is he as a potential junior managing director, or...

- Or what? - Or as a candidate...

for a managing director?

My gosh.

Why are you getting involved with our personnel appointments?

If you step down as a junior managing director candidate,

I'll stop this article from getting published.

- How can we run a business? - What are you doing?

What did these people do?

What is this nonsense?

It's finally tomorrow.

Yes, great job.

- Are you all nervous? - No, ma'am.

You're way smarter, and you have much more potential...

than these kkondaes here. So don't get scared.
