Not Yet Alive

[2013 One International New Year's Kick-Off Meeting]

Episode 14

We had a new year's�kick-off�meeting.

It was a huge scale with all employees participating.

There was an introduction and awarding for the team

with the best performance last year.

We heard about the other teams' performances.

Moments of embarrassment, we had

high hopes about the Jordan case.

Good job.

Thank you.

You realize you're just a small part of the whole,

not the whole itself.

[Misaeng]

Regarding the stainless coil

you asked about in December,

I'd recommend stainless steel grade 444.

You can use it for water tanks, feed tanks, and water heaters.

We'll send you a brochure, so

if you decide on the quantity,

we'll send you the quote.

We'll make it suit your needs.

Thank you.

Bye.

Baek Ki.

What?

The "w" in German should ring

more than the "v" in English.

Don't bring the sound to the front of the nose and mouth like the "v,"

but make it sound like you're gagging

from pushing your toothbrush too deep in.

Repeat after me.

Come on.

That's it.

I majored in German Lit.

- Sir. - Yeah?

Resource has approved the additional Norway business.

Yes.

Then proceed with Norway.

- Now help with Canada organizing. - Yes.

Mr. Yoo, have you looked into local finances?

I'm still on it.

It'll take time to select a constructor.

If you're talking about solar energy and wind power regarding

complex developing district businesses, I have a constructor list.

Ok.

Then you take charge of that.

Yes, sir.

We'll send a citron rice wine

sample, so please review it.

Yes, I think there's no plan

to release low-alcohol.

We'll check and contact you again.

I appreciate it,

thank you.

Bye.

They want low-alcohol rice wine, but

why drink it unless you want to get drunk?

In Japan, they like mixing soda in

whiskey and juice in vodka nowadays.

I think the trends are changing to low-alcohol and beer-flavored drinks.

Geu Rae.

Have you been receiving tutoring?

You have a Japanese girlfriend?

Look.

The number of orders has dropped, you got to save me.

I don't know?

You haven't received tutoring.

You haven't received...tutoring.

No.

Hello, Mom-san.

Blind date?

Come on, I'm so busy, there's no time to get married.

Is that why you called?

Is she pretty?

Send me a picture.

I have to go now.

Yes, I'll call you later.

Bye.

I'll go to Finance now.

Yes.

Where's Mr. Oh?

- Hello. - Hi.

I'm Mr. Ham of IT Sales.

Hello.

He's in a meeting.

Gosh, this is urgent.

I'm working on last year's accounts.

A few of your team's data is missing.

I need the purchased amount of nuclear energy

for the T/F case with our team in the 2nd quarter.

Can you find it?

Yes.

Here it is.

Would you like a copy?

This is it.

Yes.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Uh, I heard a newbie thought up the Jordan business.

Is it you?

Yes.

Yeah?

You look like a smart worker.

Thank you.

Mr. Ham, hello.

Hi, Mr. Kim.

I came to your team for something and he took care of it.

Yeah?

- See you around. - Bye.

-Geu Rae. -Yes?

He didn't say anything much?

No, he just talked about work.

No way.

He used to be in Planning.

I'm sure he's really upset now.

He applied for more employees since his team needs more.

Anyway Geu Rae,

rumors about you have spread and people

will look for you for various reasons.

Someone like me?

They'll want the newbie the CEO complimented.

And they'll think there are no worries even when you become useless.

I'll do the coffee.

Here.

Thanks.

Go ahead.

They'll want the newbie the CEO complimented.

And they'll think there are no worries even when you become useless.

Since I'm a temp.

Geu Rae.

Yes.

Did Mr. Ham just come by?

Yes.

Don't share files when the person in charge is away!

You shouldn't do things you can't take responsibility for!

Yes, sir.

Dang.

How dare he come to my team and?

I'm back.

Something happened?

Oh?

Mr. Ham came to feel Geu Rae out.

They need more employees.

That's rude to think of stealing our people in the new year.

Yes, you'll have to wait a bit longer.

What?

We need to check the amount and I can't make time.

Yes, sir.

I'll send it by 5:00, I mean 5:30.

By fax, bye.

Mr. Oh.

What brings you here?

I got the files I needed just now.

- Mr. Kim. - Yes.

You're really busy.

We need more employees.

You should tell upper management.

I can't get through to them, you know?

-So you're lurking around my team? - What?

What are you saying?

No way.

Don't come near Geu Rae.

Yes.

It means you'll offend me.

Yes.

I'll get going.

Yes.

What happened to this employee?

The company didn't renew his contract.

What's the use of training people?

You have no choice if the company doesn't renew the contract.

- Here's your coffee. - Put it there.

Mr. Jung!

Yes.

What happened to the Tunisia bid?

We lost it to Samjung, right?

Uh?

Don't you know the resource HQ

executive director is a college friend of mine?

I'm so embarrassed, I want to hide.

We didn't lose it, the Tunisia buyers?

Hey!

You're just full of excuses.

You just keep going on and on.

A trading man should just show me

the contract, not talk non-stop!

Make it work out now!

Geez, he gave me the info so late.

What am I supposed to do?

You know what he's like.

I just hate how he pokes you.

I wasn't even treated like that in school.

Let's have some coffee.

Would you like some coffee?

Yeah.

Yeah, thanks.

Here.

New employees, come to the 5th floor meeting room by 5:00, from HR.

Young Yi.

You have good news?

Yeah, everything's been ok since my attack.

He was acting macho-like,

"I'll show you responsibility," but still hasn?t yet.

- Hello. - Hello.

Did you meet with Ms. Ha?

Why should I meet with her?

Oh, Baek Ki, did you hit on any girls at the ski resort?

I'm not into that stuff.

Didn't you spend the holidays with her?

Young Yi.

You're supposed to hit on girls at ski resorts.

That's nonsense.

- Look! - Look!

Sure.

You must've been out for work.

No, I had a visitor here.

Are things going smoothly with the Jordan case?

Yes, thanks to you, we're preparing for shipping.

I heard your newbie worked hard

regarding the Mr. Park and Jordan cases.

Yes.

He must be bright and full of vigor.

You're lucky to get such employees.

You had an eye for people.

See you later.

Don't be too concerned about the Mr. Park case.

That was reasonable.

Thank you.

But

couldn't you have told

me in advance about it?

That's not too much to ask for.

It's not too much.

That would've been nice.

Last year's welfare points will expire,

so use them all.

Your annual leaves too.

You know volunteering is reflected in your performance, right?

I like volunteering,

but I'll only give blood.

We don't count blood donation more than twice.

You'll have education mileages starting this year,

and you need to take at least 30 hours.

That will include English, trade, and data processing.

You need a minimum 80% attendance rate and test score.

If you don't pass, the education fee will be deducted from your salary.

English?

It's ok, they have easy classes and

don't worry since there are many executives.

Lastly, you can look at your contracts on annual income.

Your names are on the envelopes.

I'll get going.

The HR team?

What's with them?

Mr. Hong, have you finished your annual income contract?

Don't look at it.

Mr. Ha and Mr. Yoo, submit your signed contract today.

- Yes. - Yes.

They set annual incomes and pay raises in January.

Of course, that doesn?t apply to temporary workers.

It's applied the moment

the dept. head's evaluation

and the team manager and employee's approval are complete.

I'm not part of the A/B/C evaluation.

How much is your incentive?

So tiny, not even $10,000.

You had a great performance.

Yeah, but what can I do if the boss?

I want to be one of them.

Dang, I work hard, but the company doesn't acknowledge it.

Why don?t we get a break?

My family wants me to get married.

I don't want New Year's or Thanksgiving.

I have another blind date this month.

I wonder why you get rejected all the time.

Can you research it and send me a Powerpoint file?

Look, seems feminine, right?

Wow, she's pretty.

- Seems feminine. - Nice.

Who got the highest incentive?

After Mr. Kang, I mean.

It's me.

Geez.

Like them.

Geez.

- You got married? - You can't get married this year either.

Geu Rae.

Yes.

The HR team presentation ended long ago, so where were you?

I'm sorry.

Where's the file I asked you to organize?

What are you doing?

Don't act like you finished something big.

Work like you normally do.

I'm sorry.

You saw in the Kick-Off Meeting, right?

What we did was a normal performance.

Of course, it was tough, but snap out of it.

Work as usual.

Mr. Oh.

What?

I just have to work like I normally do, right?

As usual.

I'll become a full-timer like this, right?

No, you won't.

It's what the data is about.

There are many college graduates who studied abroad.

They're struggling without a job too.

If you think of the money and effort they put in,

it might be natural they get in first.

They want elites, so they look at

education, GPA scores, and talents.

Then they add points for special skills to be fair.

They compare everything.

The company's manual is very strict.

There won't be any room for you.

Mr. Oh, what are you doing?

Hi.

Let's get off early today.

Early?

I thought it was my infrastructure,

but it was just borrowed for a while.

Geu Rae?

What are you doing?

Nothing, taking off for the day?

Bye.

We got off early.

Shall we have a drink?

What?

It's ok.

Do you know

what I enjoyed most about work?

I don't know.

Learning how to drink.

I could forget

loneliness and tough times.

I could also lick the boots of people I hated?

?all thanks to alcohol.

But what I regret the most?

?is also learning how to drink.

I don't think I was able to enjoy everyday life.

Neither did I enjoy leisure or a break.

Thanks.

Drink slowly, sir.

Enjoy alcohol.

It could become poison.

Cold mind and warm heart.

If it's cold, raise it,

and if it's hot, lower it.

Have a cold mind and a warm heart.

Alcohol can raise the heat.

Cold mind and warm heart.

That's a familiar phrase for those who play Go.

Have a cold mind

and a warm heart.

As of today,

I'll stop drinking.

What?

Thanks to you, I enjoy working after a while.

I've felt my heart beat that I didn't feel for a long time

Don't mention it.

I know you went through a lot because of me.

I didn't even get to apologize,

because I felt so guilty.

Having lots of work isn't suffering.

I sent you to work.

Help them out and bring success to Sales Team 3.

Do you think I should take out

this cavity or treat it?

I just have to work like I normally do, right?

Like I normally do?

I'll become a full-timer like this, right?

Really?

Is she pretty?

Of course, I'll go.

Mr. Sung.

Talk to you later.

Yes, sir.

-There's a 9:30 meeting tomorrow, right? - Yes.

Get the files ready so I can go right in.

Yes, sir.

Suk Yool, you heard that, right?

Get it ready by tonight.

What?

Check if the research center's data is ready too.

Check for overseas news and KOTRA's data.

Add the credit check reports from the trade insurance corp.

Make it within 15 pages in this order; news, KOTRA, trade insurance,

research center, our report, got it?

Take? re? spon? si? bi? li? ty.

When will he do it on his own if you teach him everything?

Don?t overdo it.

Yes, but if I don't keep my eye on

things, accidents happen like last time.

Suk Yool is still a newbie, you know.

I'll take care of him for now, so please understand.

And I'll take off after I check the final file.

Gosh, you're so meticulous.

- Bye. - See you tomorrow.

It's Oppa.

[Oppa: Older male or older brother]

Sorry, I have to work late and can't go tonight.

Sorry.

I'll treat you big time.

Ok, bye.

What's up?

You're still at work?

Jae Yun is treating us today.

Yeah, got to hurry.

To have a drink

See you where we always go.

Bye.

Text me when you're done, Suk Yool.

[Sung Joon Sik]

You can take off.

If I'm about to fight with a filthy dog,

I should be ready to get filthy.

[Would you like to delete the "meeting file"?]

[Yes]

I said there's a 9:30 meeting.

What time is it now?

I'm sorry.

Suk Yool.

You haven't made the meeting files?

Didn't you hear there's a meeting in the morning?

Oh, I made it.

He said he made it.

Why... didn't you tell me?

You texted me to take off.

You should've uploaded it.

I couldn't because of the intranet checkup time.

You should've printed it out!

The printer's broken.

But why isn't it in the computer?

What? It's not there?

The system was so unstable yesterday, I guess it didn't save it.

What?

Don?t worry.

I have a backup file.

So you didn't check it yesterday?

Sorry, I had a sudden visitor.

I was away for a minute.

Geez.

Why'd a visitor come at that time?

Check the file and send it to me.

Yes, don't worry, sir.

This isn't right.

Suk Yool.

-Did you look at this? - What?

What's with the spacing?

What would've happened if you had just submitted this?

You still don't have it down?

This isn't right.

Sir, I'll redo this ASAP.

Ok, and submit a written apology for being late, Suk Yool.

I'll go into the meeting.

Yes, see you later.

This isn't right.

Email the file to me ASAP.

Fights start with waiting.

When the opponent is strong?

"Strong" my foot.

There's a Jordan buyer meeting today, right?

Is it at the company?

Yes, 4:00 after a visit to the embassy.

At 5:00, domestic companies will be introduced,

and then we'll go for dinner.

Foreign Investment is joining tomorrow's meeting?

Yes.

- Geu Rae. - Yes.

How much of the file is ready?

I'll finish it by this evening.

Mr. Chun and Mr. Kim.

Yes.

Go to the Foreign Investment meeting by 2:00.

Yes.

Tell them not to be fussy about...weird stuff.

Mr. Oh hasn't been in a good mood today.

Here's a picture of this week's blind date.

She's pretty.

I hope you get married this time.

Yeah.

My job is fine, height is fine, weight?

Maybe it's my weight?

Maybe it's your hair?

Maybe it's my voice?

It would be nicer low like this.

I'm doomed.

I made a reservation with Summerset Golf

for you and Samjung's Mr. Lim for the Netherlands case.

I never heard of that place.

You're sure it's not a lousy place?

You know how extravagant Samjung was last time.

It's the hottest country club now.

When the Thai prime minister came recently, they went there

with the invited employees.

Yeah?

I've prepared an environmental gift with a marker.

I chose it for its nice green image.

For the course?

It's all unnecessary, we just need pretty caddies.

That way, things will go smoothly.

Yes, but since important business will be discussed,

I've requested neat and calm caddies.

But Young Yi.

What's your relation with Samjung's Mr. Shim?

I went to the Korea Economic Association.

They kept mentioned you guys' names.

Be careful with your body so that?

That question is unrelated to work.

What?

Why, that?

Hi,

coffee, sure.

Why, that dang?

Young Yi.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Mr. Ma?

It was nothing.

Hey!

Young Yi!

Hey.

You get a kick out of talking back to your boss?

And you're giggling with a guy now?

That's why I told you to be careful as a woman.

I'm just telling you not to get

involved in rumors as your boss.

How could you talk back to me like that?

You think you could even get married like that?

I'm just worried since you're like a daughter to me!

Be careful with your body.

Why am I your daughter?

What?

Hey!

Then are you a son?

What a psycho!

What are you looking at?

What?

You want to report this as sexual harassment, too?

Why'd you jump in?

You should stand aside when a boss is talking!

It's because you talked back to me!

Hey, Mr?

Are you ok?

Shouldn't you apply some ointment at the medical office?

I'm ok.

I'll be right back.

Wipe yourself at least.

I'll get going.

I'll wash it off.

What are you doing?

You wanted to go for lunch, mister.

[Mr. S stands for Satan?]

Suk Yool?

[Would you like to move this to the "Anonymous Noticeboard"?]

[Yes]

"Strong" my foot.

What do you think of this kind of boss?

Ok.

Let's go eat, buddy.

Where's Young Yi?

Call her.

Hello.

Young Yi.

Is your neck ok?

Yes.

I'm fine.

Suk Yool kept looking for you.

I heard you were supposed to have lunch together.

Change into this.

It was my fault.

How much was it?

It was a bit expensive.

Yes, how much was it?

- $50,000. - What?

Thanks for before.

This is what love for your colleagues about.

No, you won't.

There are many college graduates

who studied abroad.

They're struggling without a job too.

If you think of the money and effort they put in,

it might be natural they get in first.

The company's manual is very strict.

There won't be any room for you.

Mr. Kim.

It's Saturday, what are you doing?

I'm just home.

You have any plans for today?

No.

Nice, stand by.

What?

I have a blind date today.

I'm sure I'll get rejected again.

Imagine what that New Year's gift would feel like.

- That won't happen? - What, what?

You said I'd get rejected again because of my hair.

That was?

Just stand by for an hour.

If I don't call you after an hour,

you can go and your bro will get married.

"Bro?"

Shall we go eat?

No, maybe next time.

Shall I set a nice date for next time?

No, you're not my type.

I'm sorry.

What is your type?

I have to lose a bit of weight.

I'm not a dandy dresser.

Oh, right, I should straighten my hair.

That's not it?

My voice would sound better low like this.

My colleagues teased me before.

Uh?

I don't like how you don't seem selfish.

What?

I think people will say you're kind,

but it'll be tough for your family.

You don't know what you're saying,

I'm actually very selfish and self-centered.

I was chosen as #1 selfish guy.

I'm sorry.

My dad is like that, so I

know how my mom suffered.

It's just about me, I'm sorry.

Uh?

What?

It wasn't my weight, hair, or voice.

You don't like me because I don't look selfishness?

I see selfish-less could be a reason to be rejected.

He must be doing fine.

Hi, Mr. Kim.

Yes, sir.

Take your time, I'll be right there.

It seems you're buzzed already, ok.

Bye.

I didn't ask for the location.

Which bar is it?

Wow.

Are we finally drinking together?

How'd you know I'd call you?

You were playing hard-to-get, right?

You were waiting for my call, right?

[Oh Bong Ja Salon]

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with not being selfish?

Come on, oh, what's her name?

Ms. Ha.

Ms. Ha.

Men who work at conglomerates

used to be #1 groom material.

Now, men and women are both cunning.

Old virtues don't work anymore now.

No, they don't.

As male chauvinism decreased, sacrificial minds have too.

Now they don't want girls to rely on them.

As more girls started to work,

they won't open their hearts when they think

the life won't be easy with him.

How good a person he is

doesn't matter anymore.

What do you think, Geu Rae?

About what?

Your view on marriage.

I'm just a temp.

Thanks for the good news.

Cheers, cheers!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Here. Yes.

I should take the express bus, not the train.

I couldn't reserve tickets as work was so busy.

I can get there by bus.

Yes.

Don't worry, I'll go.

Yes.

Good night.

Bye.

[Express bus?]

Mr. Sung?

Isn't he talking about

Sung Joon Sik in Fabric Team 1?

Mr. Sung?

I'll get you embarrassed in public.

I'm Sung Joon Sik in Fabric Team 1.

I'm sorry for causing trouble.

It's my fault for not training a new employee properly.

You were wrong, newbie.

You should resolve it within the team even if you hate your boss.

He lacks the basics.

Who is the newbie in Fabric Team 1?

- Fire him. - Many guys would want his position.

You want to fight?

How will a newbie fight?

Shouldn't you wait for now?

Fighting starts with waiting.

When the opponent is strong?

Hello.

What's with your expression?

Hello.

Are you sick?

Hello.

Today we're getting our New Year's gift.

I just gave my Thanksgiving ham set

to Mr. Sung, I wonder why I did that.

I wonder why, why, why.

Have you seen the noticeboard?

Who is Han Suk Yool?

Mr. Sung's Fabric Team.

Gosh.

Newbies these days are useless.

They're so gutsy now.

He's not gutsy, he's brainless.

He thinks the "Anonymous" is really anonymous?

Mr. Sung is too nice.

He's actually indecisive.

If it were my team, I would've just? dang.

How long do you think he'll hang in there?

Shall we make a bet?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Another gift when we still haven't finished our Thanksgiving one.

Gosh, it's the same cooking oil every year.

They want us to fry their ham?

It's ok.

[Cooking oil]

Many temps didn't get anything.

Let's go.

See you later.

See you later.

I said don't ask for too much.

Hello.

Don't ask for too much.

Must I get permission just to ask for things?

What?

It's not an issue of full-timer and temp positions.

It's not that.

Then?

It's not that.

I just want to continue working.

With our team I've worked with.

Us

together

always.

How was your blind date?

Well?

You should've done well, geez!

Did something happen?

Nothing.

Oh, it's ham!

It's not that.

I just want to continue working.

With our team I've worked with.

Us

together

always.

- Mr. Oh. - What?

You did this when I didn't even ask you?

You taught me everything.

Not everyone gets what's taught to them.

Anyways, it's thanks to you.

Thank you.

Wow.

Hopefully I can continue working if I keep this up, right?

What are you doing?

Hey, hi, hi.

- Hello. - Hello.

The meeting will be held early, so buy a gift for them.

Buy it during lunch since it's for the evening.

- What should I buy? - Red ginseng, of course.

Bring back the receipt.

Yes.

Shall I go with you during lunch?

Will that be ok?

Yeah.

Geu Rae can't you even buy a buyer's gift on your own?

Uh I have to buy them for my team too.

I think this is best considering the price.

It's nice.

It's recommended for foreign buyers

since it has a strong Korean image.

Whose gift is Baek Ki buying?

I don?t know, his parents?

We'll get this.

- You can wait at the counter. - Okay.

What would you like to buy?

Uh? something healthy

and easy to take.

All of our products are healthy and easy to take.

Let's go if you're done.

You're here.

Yes.

Good job.

Let's take off early today.

You're going to King's Steel, right?

Say hi for me.

Yes.

Come here, Geu Rae.

Yes.

Here.

Have a good holiday.

I'm good.

You should say "thank you" and receive it.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Is this the New Year's bonus?

They give it in envelopes these days too?

No, Mr. Oh gave it to me.

How gracious of him.

You thanked him, right?

Yes.

You should massage me harder.

Like a man.

I said don't ask for too much.

Don't ask for too much.

Must I get permission just to ask for things?

What?

It's not an issue of full-timer and temp positions.

It's not that.

Then?

It's not that.

I just want to continue working.

With our team I've worked with.

Us

together

always.

Tomorrow, it will get loud with the guests.

So get some rest somewhere.

What?

My mother gave me freedom.

When I gave up on playing Go,

she yelled at scolding relatives.

How will they hurt her feelings today?

How I ran away to my first workplace, then the army?

How I'm a 2-year contract worker?

Holidays can be

ruthless time your family can hurt each other.

I felt bad about leaving

my mom alone

but I think it'll be better I stay away.

But

there's nowhere to go.

How did I live such a pitiful life?

I realized I didn't even have a friend to

enjoy a cup of coffee, a movie nor a riverside walk with.

Where should I put this?

Here.

Take this first.

Is there anything I can help with?

You're Geu Rae in Sales Team 3, right?

Yes.

Why'd you come on a holiday?

Don't overwork yourself when you're a temp.

They won't make you a full-timer.

Dang "temp."

There's

nowhere for me to go today.

I think I was wrong.

I wasn't thinking.

I shouldn't have left my mom alone.

My Geu Rae showed promise ever since he played Go.

- He? - Please.

Don't make excuses for me.

I knew he'd make it big long ago.

He always comes late since

they need him all the time.

This higher-up came to visit

him when he was working late!

So many people would visit him when he played Go.

People would come left and right, gosh!

You know how good he looks in suits?

He even looked great

in his dad's old suit that doesn't even fit.

He looked like he was born

to work at a company.

And is it just a normal company?

It's one of the top 5 trading companies!

Sis-in-law, ok.

You're so proud when he's a temp,

imagine when he's a full-timer.

Hey, you think temps are for everyone?

My Geu Rae suffers so much?

Sis-in-law, don't cry.

I only smiled as I didn't want to

discourage him after he failed in Go.

Now he's smiling at us

when he's suffering inside!

That's how Geu Rae is like!

Ok, have a drink.

Let's not forget it.

I'm my mom's pride.

I'm not a disappointing son.

Hello.

Hello.

You had an eye for people.

Mr. Oh.

Shall we have a cup of tea?

Geu Rae.

I'm going to get coffee, you want a cup?

I'll make mine.

Ok.

You better start the new business.

Yes, we're working hard.

Is he on it again?

Jang Geu Rae?

Sit down.

It's interesting.

Interesting, indeed.

He's just focused on work without

any concerns or calculations.

Like a daredevil.

Like you-know-who.

Actually he reminds me of you, Mr. Oh.

It's fun when you decide on an item and learn the business.

You remember then?

When we were the first to secure germanium in the East Sea.

We were running about looking for refinery facilities.

We worked on many cases without insurance.

After we heard that company couldn't go manufacturing,

they wanted full compensation.

So a few were fired to take responsibility.

We got through that too.

You know, Mr. Oh

I mean Sang Sik.

Sometimes

I wonder why you

grew distant from me.

We were tight like comrades in war?

The only person fired was Lee Eun Ji.

Who?

The one who died.

I think she did something wrong.

Now I see why you're still like this in Sales Team 3.

You fool.

You bent over backwards

to protect temps then too.

Will you do that this time too with Geu Rae?

I'll drink the tea next time.

Didn't you say

you'd take responsibility then?

Didn't you?

Did you say you wouldn't take responsibility?

I can't remember.

If Lee Eun Ji can't,

will you take responsibility?

Will you take responsibility?

Take a deep breath.

Mr. Choi

couldn't remember Eun Ji.

He's just acting like he can't.

No, he really can't.

Since she's not worth remembering,

that's the way he works instinctively.

He perfectly erased himself from that incident.

So perfectly that he could fool himself.

It's his instinct, not intention.

That's why he's a scary man.

He used to tell Eun Ji every day

what you'd see in self-help books.

"Go to night college."

"Dream big."

"Effort will pay off." "Work hard and you'll see a road."

She was smart.

She'd be alive if I had known my place

She would've worked comfortably,

met a nice guy,

got married,

and lived happily, right?

Since she's a good girl.

She told me with smile,

"Thank you, Mr. Oh.

I just have to continue working like this, right?"

Geu Rae asked me the same thing.

I'll become a full-timer like this, right?

I said he can't make it.

Mr. Oh.

Times are tougher than Eun Ji's.

Empty hope

and irresponsible consolation are useless.

It's scarier we live in a world where irresponsible

consolation and empty hope can't be given.

Since there are so many who are

desperate for that empty hope at least.

Still

he won't make it.

[Misaeng]

I can't even drink water in front of you.

Do it over.

Mr. Oh's treating Geu Rae differently this year.

One of us were sacrificed for him.

What a tough life.

If you have time to think about others, work on your weak points.

If I get a step closer, I'm two steps further the next day.

- Geu Rae, $100? - Probably?

Tell him to take Baek Ki.

You said you'd sell anything.
