Not Yet Alive

[Previously]

- How about the Jordan business? - What?

I think it's a good item if you set aside the corruption.

How could Geu Rae think of that?

Don't they know how the employees view the team?

I think the whole company was insulted.

Ok.

Let's do this business.

Geu Rae, this is not right.

Make suggestions you can take on.

Are you capable of supporting this project?

We set it up and we're not doing it.

Don't you know ethics or have a conscience?

What?

There will be a company briefing for your proposal.

It's not convincing.

I think PT shows how it could be bad for our business.

What do you mean?

When you look at a map?

I would say thinking north goes up is a habit.

Starting with the outline is a precedent?

but if you're thinking of changing the content,

I'm against it.

We only think within the structure, but he didn't think about the limit.

This is absurd.

But if this doesn?t work out, I think

I'll be really mad at you, Geu Rae.

What have I done?

Mr. Oh.

Why are you out here?

Let's go in, sir.

Ok.

Good luck.

Let's go in.

[Misaeng]

Thanks.

[Episode 13]

Everyone will be imagining an

obvious report in their minds.

They'll be looking for opposing points,

or already be prepared.

We can clearly feel how they

think won't go as expected.

Is Sales Team 3 ignorant or courageous?

You're such a daredevil.

Mr. Park's case was resolved, right?

Then shouldn't they end it with that?

You were promoted with the CEO's

encouragement, so aren't you going too far?

Right.

Ok,

let's start.

The CEO is coming.

I was curious and I had

some time until my next schedule.

I can join too, right?

Sure, please sit down sir.

Thanks.

Sit down.

It's ok.

Mr. Oh, sorry for interrupting.

You can begin.

The payment for the Russian forest carbon emission case has arrived.

Please check.

Ok.

- So this business is on. - Yes.

Good job.

Young Yi is good, isn't she?

Dude.

Sir.

Thanks.

Young Yi.

This is an additional business for Minerals, so just revise it.

For TC, use your name.

[TC: Trading contract, inputting buyer, supplier,

Excuse me?

order info in the system for confirmed contracts]

You take charge of it.

Thank you.

Young Yi, hi.

Hello.

Young Yi, about Sales Team 3's presentation?

There was Mr. Choi and all the executives behind him.

The mood was just totally solemn like I've never seen.

It's like I peed and came out and it's freezing outside.

It was? so cold.

Will that be ok?

I've never seen this kind of presentation.

What have I done?

Just watch calmly.

Yes, sir.

Please look at the screen.

It's regarding the '93 Indonesia natural resources illegal trade.

[Famous Conglomerate Uses Foreign Branch for $6.8 mil.]

The Indonesia branch manager paid

trade costs with retention money,

Indonesian currency for a currency

margin bringing a big loss to the company.

Declaration of war.

A battle without guns has begun.

Why bring that up suddenly?

What are you doing?

In 2002, the Myanmar tungsten export corruption case,

in 2007, the Singapore wine export corruption case,

in 2011, the Russia medical electronics export corruption case have occurred.

In 2002, the Myanmar tungsten export corruption case,

bribery with the major stockholder, ME Holdings.

In 2007, the Singapore wine export corruption case?

The corruption cases I heard of during job training and Mr. Park's incident

were dealt with in much more detail.

With this export corruption case with the double contract,

the commission was divided among them.

And as you know, recently there was

the Jordan used car export business commission corruption case.

There was a commotion as expected.

They must have been reminded of the sorrow of filling in someone's position

which became vacant due to that case or those perplexed times.

"So what about it?"

"What are you trying to say?"

I could read their faces.

And?

And the company resolved each

incident accurately in a prompt manner?

But there's no stopping now.

They've been resolved nicely.

And they've been erased.

What are you trying to say?

What is it you want to say?

Our company was always like that.

You're so arrogant.

-What are you trying to say? -It's over.

-Get to the point. -Mr. Oh!

What are you doing?

Why are you bringing that up now?

We've chosen to walk the path of not bringing up businesses that had issues.

Do you know?

We're going ahead with it.

What happened to those businesses?

And going on strong.

What is wrong with him?

This is conviction.

What are you trying to say?

I wonder how many mental wars you need

to fight to build such conviction.

Now these are other companies' performance results

for the businesses we didn?t even want to think about anymore.

Shinsung earned $300 mil., Haesun made $270 mil.,

HW Group $160 mil., and Hongjae $130 mil.

These businesses are still stable.

After the cases?

Please look at the expected profits.

...the expected profits for the businesses were announced.

2.7%. HW Group...

Their approximate values and accurate predictions.

It's nearly identical to the expected profits.

Please look at the stock prices before the business started

and those for two years after the business started.

They've risen along with the success of the business.

In the game of Go, when the

opponent disregards me or is greedy?

Should the incidents be forgotten

since there has been punishment?

If you use tricks as if to avoid battles even when it's important?

We had only revealed the offenses.

...you need to chase it until the end.

It's totally different from the rehearsal.

If we're not on our toes, we could totally ruin everything.

He's taking a huge risk now.

From now on?

Changing the tide, a new strategy will be used.

From now on, we'll start the presentation

for the expanded Jordan used car export business.

From now on?

Changing the tide, a new strategy will be used.

From now on, we'll start the presentation

for the expanded Jordan used car export business.

The goal of this business is to secure 40%...

Mr. Oh came back to the familiar One International presentation manual.

Jordan is a small country,

you can see they have a tiny domestic market.

It's in the Middle East,

but they lack resources including oil.

But thanks to a stable political state and

their location in the center of the Middle East,

intermediary trade is developed.

We have about 280,000 exportable used cars.

90,000 are going to Jordan.

This is a large amount compared to Jordan's population.

Because they're re-exported to Iraq, Saudi Arabia,

Syria and spread to the Middle East.

We'll connect with the branch manager

in Amman, Jordan for current info.

Hello, sir and executives.

Jordan has shown a very positive response regarding the business.

Having met a few companies,

I know they have been extremely positive about it.

They have stated they want to do business together proactively.

You can see the lists on page 18?

As the presentation went on,

Mr. Kim's conviction was

conveyed to the executives.

Regarding the contract and I'm sure it will be a secure business.

That's it for our team's Jordan used

car export business presentation.

Thank you.

It's not bad.

Yes.

It mustn't have been easy to take over the subordinate's job

who was punished because of you.

So we tried to focus on the true value of the business.

It's a well-prepared report.

Were you able to handle it all?

Yes, the Jordan team helped greatly.

I heard the youngest member in your

team proposed redoing this item.

Yes, the new employee, Jang Geu Rae.

His name is Geu Rae?

Jang Geu Rae?

I'm not sure who?

Where is he?

Hello.

Hello.

It's him.

You're a daredevil.

Geu Rae?

[Geu Rae: "Yes" is Korean]

Yes.

Why did you think of this proposal?

That's? that's?

?that's? because it's our company.

Our company?

Our company?

Our company?

Yes, our company.

Yes, it's our company, of course.

It's obvious but somehow we feel shameful.

I know.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you.

I hope you can succeed with the

Jordan used car export business.

Thank you.

Good job.

Thank you.

Mr. Lee, shall we postpone today's golf to another day?

I want to stay at our company for a while.

Yeah.

This was totally out of the box for a trading man.

Didn't you do something daring

like that 20 years ago too, Mr. Lee?

Yes, I did, many times.

Good job.

Thank you.

You too.

What's with you?

Get up, you little fool.

Yes, thank you for your help.

No, you guys did it.

I need to go to Abu Dabi soon.

What will you do about the contract and schedule?

I'll let you know after things are discussed.

Yes.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Mr. Chun.

Yes.

Thanks for hanging in there when it must have been stressful.

You've been a great help.

It's been?great for me too.

Should I send an appreciation mail to those who were at the presentation?

I'll do it.

You send messages to the concerned depts. and get confirmation.

Sure.

Where's Geu Rae?

He's still acting like a naive fool,

so I told him to get some fresh air.

Come on, here is Geu Rae.

Tell them.

There's nothing to say.

See, you're all arrogant now.

So you're the first to have a meeting with the CEO, huh?

Come on.

You started to be arrogant the moment Mr. Oh accepted your idea.

Congratulations.

I didn't think you'd pull it off this well.

Thank you.

That makes me feel weird.

It makes me want to do well so I don't end up like that.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

I'll get going.

I have to send an email.

Me too.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Come here.

Aren't you being too greedy?

Are you jealous of someone struggling from the bottom up

when you have great specifications?

What?

Don't be that way.

Actually their team's incident isn't normal.

They're trying to resolve existing issues.

I think working on it so there are no

problems to begin with would be better.

Maybe it's some kind of deception.

Right.

Deception.

We just have to reach it.

See, you're all arrogant now.

So you're the first to have a meeting with the CEO, huh?

Come on.

You started to be arrogant

the moment Mr. Oh accepted your idea.

[Kang Hae Joon]

Ms. Shin, did Mr. Kang go somewhere?

What?

What?

Nothing.

[Soju]

You want to tell me something?

Uh, no.

That feels great.

Hello.

- You're off? - Yes.

Good job hanging in there another day.

Hang in there tomorrow too and keep surviving.

- Yes, thank you. - Bye.

Shall we go to Yu's restaurant?

Sure.

Let's go for chicken ribs!

Sounds good.

It's not too small a party for a big success, is it?

We'll make it big.

It's cold.

Gosh, it's cold.

[Mr. Kang Hae Joon]

Are you off for today?

Yes, are you too?

Yes, see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Here, good job.

As they say the good comes with the bad.

If you get drunk today, you'll have an accident.

Let's drink too much.

Yes, sir.

Give us another bottle of soju, ma'am!

Why, you?

It's nice how the table is full now with these pretty boys added.

Four pretty boys, right?

Enjoy.

The chicken ribs are amazing here.

Eat up.

Gosh, Geu Rae.

Now you get it?

There's nothing we can do yet.

I understand.

You might not be able to relate, Geu Rae.

Procedures might be much more important than you think.

Since they're a kind of promise.

Maybe people trust that promise and prepare, plan and execute.

I hope the people who believe that promise aren't made fools of.

He really doesn't get it.

Doesn't he know how the employees view the team?

Baek Ki.

Mr. Cha hates tardiness the most.

You must be in a good mood.

A first attack, just the thought

of it makes me feel great.

If it's right, it's right, and if it's wrong, it's wrong.

I have a resignation letter in here.

Hi, Baek Ki.

Suk Yool.

It's me.

I have a favor to ask.

What?

Hello, is this really Baek Ki?

Hurry up.

I can't believe you're asking me a favor.

Ok.

I like you like this the best so far.

Ok, mm-hmm.

Bye.

What was that?

A secret.

I shouldn't cramp Baek Ki's style.

Cheers.

Hello.

Hold on!

Get in, Baek Ki, I came here for you.

You're 10 minutes late.

The favor?

Thank you.

Take it off.

What?

You can't go in like that.

Take it off and come for it later.

You should ask your training boss for help.

Can't he do this for you?

It's too awkward for me.

Awkward?

Then I guess you can't share your concerns with him.

You're right.

That's cold.

Although the psychopath isn't a good senior either.

- Did you go to a sauna together? - What?

Then it wouldn't be awkward.

Don't ever go to one before you become close.

Why not?

You'll die of the awkwardness.

See, imagine you're in a tub together.

You can't get out first, but your skin bloats just sitting there.

Even when you scrub yourself.

It's weird sitting side by side.

But it's weird? sitting apart like strangers.

You can't do this or that, and you

can't tell him he has soap suds on him.

Why can't you?

Then he'll think you were staring at his naked body.

What?

"What?"

A perfect crime.

You're late.

Uh, yes.

Get your clothes, Suk Yool.

Yes.

I told you many times, the worst

thing for employees is tardiness.

Geez.

It's because you're not good with self-management, Baek Ki.

Yes, I'm sorry.

We'll have to postpone the 6:00 meeting

30 minutes, I'll be there at 6:30.

Why still here? Go.

Finance is checking the budget and

there will be a meeting with the Legal Team.

Other meetings are set too.

How about if you participate too?

Sure, and be a bit softer since

opinions aren't all positive yet.

Yes.

Mr. Chun.

This is Mr. Lee Jin Tae and he'll take care of sales regarding the case.

- Hello. - Hello.

You know Mr. Chun, right?

Glad to work with you again.

Yeah.

This is Mr. Kim Dong Sik.

Hello.

Your build looks like the dept. head.

Thank you.

This is Jang Geu Rae.

I'm Jang Geu Rae.

I know.

Did your team's position become stable by this?

I'm sorry?

Sir!

Hello, sir!

Mr. Ko, long time no see.

-Hello. - Hi...

Would you like some coffee?

Get some coffee.

Sit down.

Hello.

Young Yi.

Coffee errand?

Yes.

I came to make coffee for everyone including the new head of the dept.

Then I'll treat you to your team's coffee.

What?

I didn't congratulate Mr. Oh on his promotion.

So I'll do that with coffee.

Tell them it's coffee made by Young Yi.

Americano?

Your team will have a warm end of the year.

You're right.

Time has flown.

You were so busy working, you didn't realize that?

Maybe Mr. Oh will get promoted again.

Sir.

Would you like some coffee?

Young Yi, get ready for the meeting?

Sir.

Meeting?

Why should she get ready for it?

Yes.

She'll take charge of the Norway case.

There will be a short briefing.

You don?t want it?

Make a separate briefing on your own.

I don't want make-up smell in the meeting room.

Young Yi.

I think I really get tougher with time.

I don't feel hurt at all.

It's quite interesting now.

I'll get going.

Make sure to tell them I made the coffee.

What is this?

Why do I have to get in trouble for this?

Suk Yool.

- Yes? - You did this, didn't you?

No, sir?

It's by fault, I'll explain so he understands.

No, he?

I told you to delete the account data since it's hard to show it now!

How strong can he possibly be?

There's a secret to real fighting.

You need to attack first.

You gave it to me and told me to organize it according to order.

When did I do that?

Gosh, what are you doing here?

Geez.

Then why would I have found the lost data and put it in there?

Will you continue talking back to me?

It's true, why should I get in trouble for what I didn't do?

A team is in it together!

You get told off together and take responsibility together!

Then why do you always get out?

What?

Please take responsibility for your work.

Let's make it a real team.

Wow, look at you.

Responsibility?

You want to see?

what real responsibility is?

Geu Rae, this is the Jordan data, and

you remember the trade insurance corp.?

Yes.

- Resend it to them. - Yes.

But do we need to resend it though we already applied?

That was for our loss and other

companies could suffer damage too.

- Send it soon. - Sure.

Hello.

- There's a meeting with Chemicals, right? - Yes, let's go in.

Yes.

We're about to go in.

What?

Geu Rae too?

Sure.

They want you to come too.

What?

Why when he's not even involved?

You're so popular!

Are you like a celeb?

Gosh.

Hi, Young Yi!

Oh, make coffee only for me from now on.

Sure.

You have many meetings these days.

Yes.

Why do they keep asking for him who doesn't know anything?

Dang people.

But he's good at taking notes and recordings.

His meeting minutes are perfect, you know.

Ha, geez!

- I'll get going. - Get in!

Bye.

Young Yi, come here.

Hey.

Wear flat shoes.

You annoy people!

Answer me.

Yes, sir.

I heard you did this document.

Hey!

You drive me crazy.

Looking at your document, I nearly

jumped off the plane coming back!

Resident employees struggle because of this!

Have you made calls with our people when doing this?

Did you?

I had asked my boss since I'm not familiar with them.

What?

You asked your boss?

Look at you.

Hey, is he your secretary?

Sir, I said I'd call them since I know them?

Is it a blind date or what?

What more do you need besides name and position when working?

Are you all crazy?

You think think is a game?

Please tell us what the problem is...

How far do you think the Norway resources project has proceeded?

As far as I know, it just has to be approved?

Right, it just has to be approved.

But why isn't it being approved?

The additional business you guys sent messed up the schedule!

Just wait when you have to even if you have nothing to do.

The local team struggles because you guys pretend to work.

Do you know what you're doing?

A business game.

A business game!

Dang.

Gosh, I thought things were going great for her.

They say things don't work that easy.

Let's work.

Are you ok?

He's too much.

Drink it.

It'll calm you down.

We're not in the position to be comforting anyone.

So there's nothing to say.

Except him.

Try it.

Just suck it.

Like this.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Geu Rae.

Your team was in charge of the Iran case, right?

Yes.

We're thinking of doing an item in Iran.

How was it?

You think Iran's circumstances will improve?

What?

I'm not asking for a professional analysis.

I'm curious what your next move would be.

I don't know.

Come on, why ask him that out of the blue?

Let's have coffee later.

My gosh.

I have to organize some storage samples.

I'll get going.

Indeed, there is no direct correlation

between your school grades and happiness.

My gosh.

I'm not asking for a professional analysis.

I'm curious what your next move would be.

Are you done?

Yes, I just need to finish this.

Can I leave now?

Mr. Kang got off, so you can leave

as soon as you're done here.

Yes, sir.

Go relax at a sauna.

- Oh? - You worked hard.

Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

Aren't you being too greedy?

Are you jealous of someone struggling from the bottom up

when you have great specifications?

We just have to reach it.

I'm like this because I don't think I can make it.

It's just me who's at the same point.

Don't ever go to one before you become close.

Then it wouldn't be awkward.

You'll die of the awkwardness.

See, imagine you're in a tub together.

You can't get out first, but your

skin bloats just sitting there.

Is it hot?

No, sir.

Even when you scrub yourself.

It's weird sitting side by side.

But it's weird? sitting apart like strangers.

You can't do this or that.

I'll get going.

Oh, bye.

And you can't tell him he has soap suds on him.

Why can't you?

Then he'll think you were staring at his naked body.

I never thought I'd see you here.

I usually wrap up the week here.

I got all dusty after storage organization.

Ok.

I'll get going.

I'll see you on Monday.

Mr. Kang.

Let's go for a drink.

Are you saying you're not motivated for work?

My colleagues seem to be accomplishing things,

but I think I'm right where I started.

And that? makes me think I'm lagging behind.

You won't suddenly feel like submitting a proposal.

It's not that.

Are you jealous of Geu Rae?

I'm not jealous.

But?

I feel mad at myself.

Especially since you're not a temporary worker like him.

You work for Steel, right?

Didn't I tell you before?

The jobs for Steel are fixed within the categories.

You need to check and manage for smooth operation.

You think fixed businesses have no work?

No, sir.

You know our team's yearly profits?

How much work the required manpower and related countries?

A lot to do to ensure things to go smoothly after signing the contract.

Does that all seem meaningless to you?

No, sir.

It doesn?t matter how it looks to others.

It's not flashy but doing necessary work is what's important.

We might not see it?

?but don't think it doesn't exist.

The figures we decide on?

are a big deal to others.

You should motivate yourself, Baek Ki.

It'll be tough to survive if you can't do that.

Yes.

Geu Rae.

Yo, yo, yo.

The bright season for company employees.

A service for those working for salary like us, Christmas tree?

The company does care for us, mm-hmm.

Any year-end plans?

What will you do, Young Yi?

I'll go drink.

Tough girl.

Baek Ki?

I got season tickets for a ski resort.

Awesome, you must really not have a girlfriend.

And you?

I don't have one either.

-What? - A girlfriend.

Ok.

You use Twitter?

No, not really?

Someone wants to follow you, open that.

[Ha Jung Yeon]

Who is it?

- Stop it. - You said you have no girlfriend.

- I don't. - Who is it?

I don't know.

It's Ms. Ha.

Ms. Ha?

Who's that?

Who's Ms. Ha?

So Mi's daycare center teacher.

So Mi who?

Daycare center teacher?

Yes.

How'd she find out my ID?

We can ask her.

Come on, give it back.

How did you find out my Twitter ID?

I always searched for it, it took a while to find it.

Why?

You think this is a joke?

If you want to know, treat me to a drink.

She's proactive.

Geez.

Why should I treat you to a drink?

Geu Rae, go for it.

-Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

-Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello!

I'm sorry for being late!

You replaced the cartridge.

I was going to do it today.

Mr. Kim.

Yeah.

Ok, it's neat, perfect, and professional.

Good job, Mr. Kim.

Good job.

Geu Rae.

Shall we have coffee?

Sure!

Water too.

He reacts faster now.

I think it's old maid hysteria.

She only treats me that way.

What can we do? Just put up with it.

She went nuts today.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm going crazy.

What happened with the resume?

You have wheels on your feet?

Be quiet.

So what?

He's a temp in Sales Team 3.

They'll hear you.

He'll start sending out resumes after his contract is over too.

Stop it!

- Oh, dear. - It'll get cold!

Yes.

Come on.

- Yes. - Don't do mine.

Ok.

I almost cried.

I was almost disappointed.

I'm pathetic to have been about to smile.

He still sends out personal year-end cards?

Mr. Oh is stubborn about it.

It's dedication for those who help us make a living.

- Give me a few. - Yes.

Here.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

Here.

It's the company envelope.

Write Mr. Oh Sang Sik from Sales Team 3 right here.

Yes.

Thanks to them, my first kid is going to school.

My youngest gets new shoes and warm clothes.

Think you're making a living thanks to them.

Yes.

[Oh Sang?]

I'm making a living thanks to them.

Geu Rae.

Yes.

The first "Merry Christmas."

Thank you.

It couldn't have been better.

Yes!

Be absorbed.

You should always be absorbed.

It all depends on that.

That's the only issue.

In order not to feel the weight

of time that makes you slump over,

you must always be absorbed.

But absorbed in what?

Either alcohol, poetry or virtue.

That's up to you.

But anyway be absorbed.

And at times on top of a palace stairway,

or on the green meadow beside a ditch,

or in your depressing room, you wake up.

When you're not absorbed anymore,

ask.

Ask the breeze, water,

stars, birds, or clock.

Ask everything that passes by.

Ask everything that is sorrowful.

Ask everything that runs by.

Ask everything that sings.

Ask everything that talks, ask what time it is?

[It couldn't have been better, Yes!]

Then the breeze, water,

stars, birds, and clock?

?will answer you.

"It's time to be absorbed."

Sir.

[For Mr. Kang]

[It couldn't have been better, Yes!]

[Misaeng]

You have a girlfriend these days?

Thoughts on marriage?

Thanks for the good news.

How much is it?

-$50,000. - What?

You look like a hard worker.

It was a tough job, but don't let that happen.

I can be become a full-timer at this rate, right?

I can keep working here at this rate, right?

Your names keep being mentioned.

Be careful with your body.

That question is not related to work.

You take this.

Don't hurt Geu Rae since that's like hurting me.

Didn't you say you'd take responsibility?

Will you do that to Geu Rae too?
