START-UP

CHEONG-MYEONG CORN DOG

Here.

Did you come here
because you have nowhere else to go?

-Are you sure everything is okay?
-How many times do I have to tell you?

I'm doing great. I couldn't ask for more.

I'm very healthy
with nine-percent body fat,

and I own an apartment and a car.

Last year my salary was 200 million,
plus 1.5 billion in bonuses.

And I made even more on the side. Happy?

Are you married?

-Not yet.
-That's a problem.

-Why is that a problem?
-You're unmarried in your 30s.

-I'm too busy with work.
-Bullshit.

If you're busy, what are you doing here?

I thought

I should pay you back.

What do you mean?

The money I ran away with.

If I pay you back with interest,

you'd be able to open

a small shop instead of this.

That was your money in the first place.
Don't bother.

Cut your nonsense and leave now.

Fine, I'll leave.

But

at least take this.

What is this?

-It's upside down.
-Okay.

It's my business card.

My phone number is here.
Call me when you need anything.

I can do anything for you.

I don't need anything.

Gosh, you're so stubborn.

If you're doing well,
don't show up and make me jealous.

-But--
-Come if things are rough.

Right?

Yes.

So stay right here.

Don't go anywhere.

All right.

Go now.

-Can I take some corn dogs with me?
-Sure, do that.

I'll take this, too.

-Bye.
-Please give me a call!

All right.

-This tastes amazing.
-It does?

-Yes!
-Okay!

MATH GENIUS NAM DO-SAN
CONQUERS OLYMPIAD

EPISODE 2

Gosh, I'm tired.

What's all that?

I'm going to find Do-san.

I'm taking him to the party.

WITH MOTHER PARK GEUM-JEONG

Grandma, Do-san's letters were written

in standard language.
I guess he lives in Seoul.

Forget it.

How are you going to find him
after all these years?

Just remember him

as an old friend and move on.

Why should I move on?
I only have good memories of him.

What if he disappoints you?

He might turn out to be a loser.
Who knows?

Or turn out to be awesome.

He might have lost interest in you.

Right?

Then I'll ask him to be with me
for just a day.

To keep me company while I meet In-jae.

We were pen pals for over a year.
That shouldn't be hard.

Dal-mi.

I'm sure he's still
just as smart and competent.

In-jae won't be able to look down on him.

Is it so bad to lose to In-jae?

Yes, definitely.

Why? What's the big deal if you lose?

No, I can't lose to her!

Then it'll look like

I lost to her because I chose Dad.

I don't want her to think
I'm miserable and regret my choice.

I was…

happy to be with Dad.

I was happy,

and I don't regret my choice at all.

In-jae should know that.

I can't convince her like this.

It's frustrating.

Dal-mi.

In-jae is going back to America.

It's just one day.

I want to pretend that I'm successful

and that I don't envy her.
Just for one day.

It's not like I'm trying to become
a millionaire or win the lottery.

I'm just going to put on a little show
for one day, that's all.

Can't I? It's just for one day.

Grandma?

SENIOR MANAGER HAN JI-PYEONG

-Mr. Han, you have--
-Park Dong-cheon.

Perfect timing. What's this?

Oh, it's a business plan
that was sent to our company email.

Did you take a look? It's not bad.

Biggest in the market, and a reliable CEO.

They why would they send a cold email?

Shouldn't VCs be lining up
to have a meeting with them?

Have you checked their revisit rate?
Their conversion rate is lousy, too.

It's just another business
that will only do well in the beginning.

I'm sorry.

But there could be hidden gems. Who knows?

Like a pearl in the mud.

Let angel investors take care
of the pearls in the mud.

Does a national coach look for
talent in an amateur soccer club?

Right. But there are great players
in those soccer clubs, too.

Are you leaving?
What were you going to tell me?

Oh, right. You have a visitor.

A visitor?

Do I have a meeting today?

No. She doesn't have an appointment,
but she's so stubborn.

Dong-cheon, have I ever met anyone
without an appointment?

No, never.

But you've never given anybody
your business card either.

-Where is she?
-Outside.

-In the entrance?
-Yes.

Ms. Choi. What are you doing here?

Me? Oh…

I got some corn dogs for you.
Share this with your friends.

Oh, my. You came to give me this?

Well, actually…
I have a favor to ask, too.

What is it?

You said you could do
anything for me, right?

-You said you didn't want anything.
-I didn't, until yesterday.

What is it? I'm getting scared.

There's no need. It's very simple.

Can you find a person for me?

Of course. Who are you looking for?

Do you remember Nam Do-san?

Nam Do-san?

I do. Those letters.

I need you to find him.

What? Ms. Choi, we made him…

We made him up.
How can I possibly find him?

I know. Just make someone up.

Gosh, I can't believe this.

What was your granddaughter's name again?

It's Dal-mi.

-Seo Dal-mi.
-Dal-mi.

What was she thinking
when she told such lies?

Strictly speaking, she wasn't lying.

She believes that Do-san exists.

-But he doesn't.
-Well, technically he does.

-We saw him in the newspaper that day.
-The newspaper?

How about this name?

He looks smart, kind, and well-off.

Do-san? Nam Do-san?

He's pretty good-looking.

Okay. Let's use this name.

That boy from 15 years ago?

That'd be even harder.

That's why I came to you. If it was easy,
I would've already have found him.

Did you say her name is Dal-mi?
How old is she now?

Can't she just ask
one of her ex-boyfriends--

She's never had a boyfriend.

Never? Why not?

That boy, Do-san,
got in the way every time.

How? He doesn't even exist.

Apparently, it's possible.

Do you have time this Saturday?

Getting these tickets was really hard.

I don't. And I'll never have time.

Why did you say no?
You wanted to see that musical.

He's rude. He booked those tickets
without asking me first.

Think of Do-san. He was so careful
when he wrote to me for the first time.

Why would you bring up that boy now?

An Ok-yun and Hawaii Pistol
were having a moment there at the end.

That was the climax of the whole movie.
And that kiss?

ASSASSINATION

You call that a kiss? That?

When you kiss…

In the beginning,

you start out smoothly.

And you go…

Then it gets more and more intense,

and you finally become one.
It's fantastic.

Now that's a kiss. Am I wrong?

The movie is for ages 15 and up.

That's why they had to stop there.

I think we should also

stop here.

What?

He can't communicate.

Think of Do-san. He's always on my side.

Lord, you're putting me through this
to test my patience, right?

Okay, I'll put up with it.

Grandma, I can't see this guy anymore.

Love is always patient

Look at this.
He says we're a "batch made in haven."

It's "heaven," not "haven."

What's a "batch made in haven"?

And "batch?" Does he think
I'm a muffin or something?

Think of Do-san.

His spelling and grammar were flawless
even in elementary school, remember?

Love is always patient, patient

And patient again

Why did you lie to her for ten years
if you couldn't handle it?

I didn't expect her to believe this
for so long.

This is partly your fault, too!

You raised her standards
way too high with your letters.

She thinks most guys are lame now.

You don't remember?

You wrote those letters with me.

And you're the one who started all this.
I was only helping you.

Fine, it's all my fault.

The kid was all alone and had no friends.

I wanted to give her someone to talk to,
but apparently I shouldn't have.

I made a terrible mistake.

Why did you even say you'd pay me back?

Why did you say such a thing
and make me come all the way here?

Fine, I get it. Wait.

I'll look for him.

How much time do I have?

Not a lot. You have until this Friday.

That's five days.

What?

I'm sorry.

Five days?

ALARM

Damn! I got shampoo in my eyes!

OUT OF ORDER

Hello.

Yes, I'm on my way to
Jeonggok Branch as backup.

Okay.

Hello, Father.

I'll try to persuade her. Don't worry.

Okay.

Dal-mi, we have to run away.

-What's wrong?
-It's a war zone in there.

Why are there so many customers?

-There are foreigners, too.
-JKN announced a guerrilla concert.

These people are all going
to their concert.

Let's wait somewhere nearby

and come back when the concert starts.

By then, there will be fewer people.
Let's go.

Okay. This is my chance.

No. Don't tie your hair.

Please don't.

Let's go.

It's time to set a new sales record.

Are you Usain Bolt?
Why would you want a new record?

We'll be exhausted afterward.

Let's just slack off
a little, okay? Let's go.

You can slack off if you want.
But the new record will be mine.

Bring it on.

-Do you need a refill?
-Yes, please.

What do you think?

She hasn't seen her mom in a year,

but she's been looking at her phone
for the past 30 minutes.

Well…

My husband is the same.

He never looks up from his phone.

Like father, like daughter, I guess.

He's her stepfather,
but they act the exact same way.

I'm sick of it.

-Do you need a refill?
-Yes, please.

What do you think?

My mom stays at a hotel
when her place is just around the corner.

Many people spend their vacations
at hotels--

Do they stay at hotels
all year round like my mom?

Well…

I guess some of them do.

You're taking my side? Thanks.

-Please hurry up!
-Come on!

-I've been waiting for an hour!
-Excuse me!

-Where's my coffee?
-Just a second.

Please wait just a second.

I think these orders are mixed up.

What?

Were these drinks served?

-And the croque monsieur?
-No idea.

Please don't break down.

-What should we do?
-Dal-mi!

Please help us. This is hell.

Just a second.

I apologize for the delay.

How can I help you?

One at a time, please.

-Speak one at a time, please.
-I can't hear you.

-Just a second, please.
-Please take my order!

-Please wait.
-What's taking so long?

Can you please line up?

SELECT ALL

ARTIST: JKN

I still remember your voice

And the way you look at me so clearly

But I can't see you again

I cry all day

Waiting for you…

I listen to JKN songs all the time.

Today, I'll go full-on fangirl

and put all their albums on repeat.

All right.

Please line up!

Everyone, please get in line.

How can I help you?

Where's the syrup?

It's on the counter behind you.

You forgot the whipped cream.

I apologize. Coming right up.

-What's the Wi-Fi password?
-It's coffee01. Thank you.

-Do you have lassi, please?
-We have no lassi. Sorry.

But we have yoghurt with a similar taste.

-Where's the toilet?
-The restroom is

at the end of the hallway
on the second floor.

-Damn it. Hey!
-Gosh.

I told you to wash my tumbler.

Sir, we can't serve a disrespectful person
like you. Get out.

How can I help you?

The orders are sorted now.

Thanks.

You're unbelievable.

I'M ROOTING FOR YOU JKN
I LOVE YOU JKN

DAILY SALES: 10,000,000 WON

DAILY SALES RECORD 10,000,000 WON

-Congratulations.
-Great job.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

It's the highest daily sales ever!
Great job!

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

No one is ever going to break our record,

right, Dal-mi?

-What?
-No one will ever break

our record.

Of course not. No one is going to break

our record.

Let's get back to work.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Dal-mi.

Yes?

You're working so hard
it's making me anxious.

I'm going on maternity leave soon.

They won't want me back
if they don't miss me.

Come on.
I'm not half as competent as you are.

-Are you serious?
-I'm half-serious.

You did a great job, Ms. Seo.

Thank you.

-Who is he?
-He's the human resources manager.

Dal-mi, I bet you'll get
a permanent position this time.

I hope I do before Friday.

Friday? Why? What happens that day?

Aren't you tired of this?

How can you enjoy hotels so much?

I like it. I get to swim
and go to the spa every day.

Plus, I don't have to see that jerk.

You can only swim and go to the spa
because Father pays for it.

Didn't Father pay for everything
you're wearing right now?

"Father"?

How can you call him that
after he cheated on me?

You're my daughter,
but I don't understand you.

I don't understand you either.

You complain about Father
while living off him.

AFTERNOON TEA WITH MOTHER

You're right. It's all my fault.

To think that I left your dad
for that jerk.

Mom, do you have time this Friday?

My company is holding a networking party.

I have zero interest in what you do.

Dal-mi will be there.

Don't you want to know

how Dal-mi is doing?

When is it again?

This Friday.

ONLY FAMILIES, FRIENDS, AND FOOLS
INVEST IN NEW START-UPS

Park Dong-cheon, why are you still here?

I'm trying to be a human filter.

I won't be fooled by business plans
but base my judgements on data.

Find this guy.

"Mathematical Olympiad youngest winner."

This was 15 years ago? Who is this?

Don't ask me any questions. Just find him.

But I have nothing to go on.

He won some competition 15 years ago
and is called Nam Do-san?

I'm not a private detective or anything.

I can hear you.

Okay.

Nam Do-san?

That sounds familiar.

NAM DO-SAN

INBOX
FROM NAM DO-SAN

What is it? You recognize that name?

Yes. He's been sending us
his business plans for months.

His business is still in the early stage,
but he probably doesn't know any better.

Both his background and business idea
are unimpressive.

Are you sure it's him?

Here, it says he was the youngest winner
of the Mathematical Olympiad.

-Do you have his number?
-Yes, here.

Nam Do-san's phone number.

Text it to me.

You'll visit him yourself? At this hour?

Yes. Text me his partners' numbers, too.

These guys aren't even good enough
to be in an amateur soccer club.

Mr. Han!

A COMPANION TO START-UPS

AN INVESTOR LIKE A SHERPA

When will the CODA results be out?

Forget it.

The other contestants are
the best in the world

when it comes to image recognition.

There's no way
newbies like us will win any prize.

It's impossible.

Do-san, what's your passport number?

Did you hear me? Do-san?

Boss! Do-san!

What are you doing?

Your passport number.

-What?
-Give me your passport number.

FATHER

-My passport number? What for?
-I'm booking flights for us.

It's the peak season right now.

What flights?

The CODA prizes will be handed out
in San Francisco.

CODA? Didn't you just say
newbies like us--

Yes, I told you to forget it. I know.

But think about it.

I'm talking about
a one-in-a-million chance here.

Let's say we do win a prize
but can't find any flights.

VCs from Google and Amazon
want to invest in our company,

but we're not there.

How awful.

We don't want such a tragedy
to happen, do we?

Passport number.

I'd say there's not even
a one-in-a-million chance.

-What?
-What?

Lights off!

Are they here?

SAMSAN TECH

-Do-san!
-Too late.

-Nam Do-san!
-Quiet.

Do-san!

Back, back.

Do-san!

You can't avoid me forever.

I know you're in there.
Open the door right now!

You punk.

I'll count to three.

One…

Two…

Honey, let's make sure
he's in there first.

Over there.

-My knees are killing me.
-Be quiet.

Go further back.

Hey, the flashlight!

Hey, go back even further. The flashlight!

Back!

He's not here. Let's wait at home.

Those punks.

Watch your step.

My knees are killing me.

My knees.

-Whose phone is it?
-Turn it off!

It's mine.

I turned it off.

-Gosh.
-Who is it now?

Whose phone is it?

Oh, my.

It's cold.

They won't pick up. Nam Do-san,
Lee Chul-san, Kim Yong-san, none of them.

Wait.

Is their company called Samsan Tech
because they all have San in their names?

What a lame name.

Text me their company address.
I'll have to go there and see.

SAMSAN TECH

You're wearing the same shirts.

No, they're different colors.

Guys, I just realized that
our shirts are the RGB colors.

RGB?

RGB means
the three primary colors of light.

Red, green,

-and---
-I know that.

Anyway, Samsam Tech--

It's Samsan Tech, honey.

It's been exactly a year
since we invested in Samsan Tech.

You promised

you'd achieve great results within a year.

As an investor,

I came here to find out

if the money I invested is
being used properly

and what you have achieved so far.

First of all,
we've been using your investment

to cover the rent and the server cost.

We also bought some equipment.

We're spending every penny wisely
and we're grateful for your investment.

That's right. We often skip meals.

I see some new things.

Instant coffee wasn't good enough?

As you may know, many developers
suffer from abdominal obesity.

We had to buy the machine
to drink low-calorie coffee.

That doesn't explain the syrup.

If you were worried about calories,
you should've ditched the syrup.

You're right.

Thanks for pointing that out.

We're sorry.
We've been disappointing you lately.

"Lately"? You've been
disappointing us for a while now.

Isn't it about time you
gave us some kind of assurance?

So explain.

Depending on your answer,
I'll either continue to invest

in your company or withdraw it.

This is too narrow.

-Hello, Ms. Choi.
-Well?

Are you looking for Nam Do-san?

Yes, I'm on my way to him right now.

Already? How did you find him?

My GPS found him.

Good Boy, you're incredible.

So what does he do?

He runs a start-up.

A start-up? Isn't that a good thing?
It's on the news all the time.

Well, at least his title sounds
pretty impressive.

That's great.

Don't worry and just wait.

I'll talk to him.

A start-up?

You are near your destination.

I'm near my destination?

This is a residential area.
He has an office here?

Mr. Nam, Ms. Park.

Do-san wanted to wait
until it's official, but…

-Yong-san.
-It's okay.

-No, don't.
-Come on.

Tell them.

Don't be surprised. We entered

the CODA competition!

CODA.

Well… CODA…

CODA…

It's a company that's super famous
around the globe.

And they hold AI competitions.

Think of it as the AI Olympics.

Why are you so quiet?

You explain to me. In detail.

Father, you've heard of AI, right?

Yes, it stands for avian influenza.

Well…

That's a different AI.

We're talking about
artificial intelligence.

We use AI for image recognition…

Explain so I can understand.

Look me in the eye.

Make it easier than this?

What do you think this is?

Toilet paper.

-Then what's this?
-Instant ramyeon.

Then…

what about this?

-A good-for-nothing?
-Ms. Park.

We make computers do what you just did.

It's called image recognition.

And?

-Show them.
-Show them.

Look at this, Father.

See what happens when I show
the toilet paper to this camera.

The computer recognizes it
as toilet paper, right?

Give that to me.

"Instant noodle"

for ramyeon.

"Clock."

Well… Impressive.

Many companies have
image recognition software,

but none of them are as accurate as ours.

It's all about accuracy

and speed.

Speed!

"Toilet"?

Why does it say "toilet"?

Goodness. Why am I a toilet?

That shouldn't be happening. Let me see.

-Face. It's working again.
-Try again.

It says..."Toilet"?

This must be an error.

Why…

What's wrong?

Oh, I know.

-This was a prototype.
-That's right.

We solved this error.

It's because of the light.

Look at this.

Your forehead reflects light
and shines like a toilet.

That's why it says "toilet."

Turn it off.

The official version doesn't…

Just turn it off!

You have arrived at your destination.

Route guidance will now be terminated.

I guess this is it.

Father!

-Father, stop!
-Come here!

What's going on?

-Why is he running?
-Stop right there!

-What's going on?
-Stop, you punk!

-Stop right there!
-Father!

Father, I'm sorry.

-No way.
-Hold on.

That's a prototype. The official--

Cut it out. Come here!

Gosh, I'm tired.

Honey, we can forget about
our 60th birthday party.

We can't introduce that good-for-nothing
as our son.

He's turning 30 soon,
but he doesn't have a proper job.

It can't be.

With my money,

he made some crappy machine
that calls his dad a toilet?

-Why…
-Machine…

-No way.
-Honey.

-This is not happening.
-Keep it down.

You'll wake everyone up.

I don't care!

Everyone, wake up! Before I die,

-Please calm down.
-I'll make sure

-my son comes to his senses.
-Please stop.

You brat. What are you going to do now?

My first son has no job

and runs a lousy business.

Who would want to marry you?

The Nam family will die out with you.

-Keep it down.
-The Nam family?

-Come here.
-No.

-Father!
-Is his last name Nam?

-Please, Father.
-Did he say "Nam"?

-Who parked the car here?
-Oh, my.

-Let go!
-Father.

You punk, I'll teach you a lesson.

-Come here!
-Honey!

Come here right now.

Where did he go? Where is he?

Where is he?

-You punk.
-Father, please.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll pay for a car wash.

I'm really sorry.

Nam Do-san, you punk!

-Nam Do-san?
-You'll pay for a car wash?

This must be a dream. It has to be.

Let go of him!

CHEONG-MYEONG CORN DOG

MATH GENIUS NAM DO-SAN

-You said he was impressive.
-He's terrible.

-How does he look?
-A total mess.

But he runs a start-up.

I know that world well,

and he's hopeless.

Goodness,
I thought he'd have a terrific life.

He's still in his 20s.

Even the luckiest ones get lost
in their 20s.

GOLD PRIZE

Is your father

really going to withdraw his investment?

Yes.

The rent can be covered by the deposit,

but what about the server cost
and maintenance fees?

I don't know what to do.

Should we work as delivery men?

How much can we get for that?

This is a rooftop apartment.

If we sell that, this place will be
an oven in the summer.

You're right.

We'll get investments before summer.

We'll switch back to instant coffee.

We'll use membrane keyboards instead.

No games until we get investments.

TO NAM DO-SAN

The only good news is

there's almost no chance
of Dal-mi finding Nam Do-san.

I thought you could find anyone
on Instagram,

Facebook, or whatever these days.

Not going to happen.

Considering how he ended up,

it's better if the two never meet.

Not only will she be disappointed,

but she'll also
be making a fool of herself.

You think so?

-Gosh, I can't believe--
-Be quiet.

Hello.

Really?

I see.

-Okay.
-I feel sorry for her.

Okay. At lunchtime? Where?

She should eat well.

I see. That's great.

All right.

-It must be hard for her.
-Dal-mi

is apparently just as capable
and lucky as you.

Sure. What?

She found Nam Do-san.

-What?
-She's meeting him later.

Lord.

When? Where?

How did she find him?

How would I know?

My goodness.

Gosh, you startled me.

TO NAM DO-SAN

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten.

At this rate, we'll make

enough money to cover the server cost
and maintenance fees by tonight.

-Is the buyer picking it up in person?
-Yes, the Park Chan-ho ball.

"Seo Dal-mi"? She told you her name?

Yes. We've never met,
but she sounds way too friendly.

"I'm Seo Dal-mi.

I've missed you so much.
Let's meet up right now."

Are you sure you don't know her?

-We've never met.
-She says she missed you.

Why so emotional?

She must be a huge fan of Park Chan-ho's.

I don't think that's what it is.
Seo Dal-mi…

Seo Dal-mi… I've heard that name before.

Look! Sand Box!

THE DREAM PLACE

LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS

A PLACE WHERE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

It looks fantastic.

Guys, they even let you
bring your dog to work.

-That sounds amazing.
-Here,

you wouldn't have to worry
about your rent or server cost.

Exactly.

A PLACE WHERE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

I'm here. I'm wearing a blue jacket.

Are you on your way?

I'll be there in 30 seconds.

Why does he sound so dry?

Is it because it's been so long?

She's wearing a blue jacket.

-She is?
-Yes.

-Do-san.
-Yes?

Let's split up here.

-Why? Come with me.
-This is too inefficient.

All right. Let's split up
and increase efficiency.

Can't you take a hint?
Chul-san, you come with me.

Good luck!

What do you mean, "take a hint"?

I'm not stupid!

Follow me.

What are you doing?

Hold on. Gosh.

What's with you? Who are you?

The companion?

Wait.

A COMPANION TO START-UPS

The companion… Gosh!

You're the companion!

Mr. Nam Do-san, right?
Nice to meet you. I'm Han Ji-pyeong.

SH Venture Capital, right?

I wasn't in my right mind when I sent you
those emails, but you came to see me?

Well, kind of. Can we talk for a minute?

Of course.
We can talk all day if you want.

Gosh, unbelievable.
I didn't know this day would come.

How about we talk
at a café or your office?

Let's… Let's go to our office then.

I'll show you our demo, too.

Now I see why they call you
an angel investor.

You are an angel.

Mr. Nam, I'm not here to--

But before that,
can you give me five minutes?

I have to meet someone real quick.

Just five minutes.

You're meeting Seo Dal-mi, right?

Yes.

-How do you know that?
-I'll explain in my car.

Wait. I just need to hand this over.

-I just need to…
-I know.

-I just need to give her this ball.
-It'll be fine.

It's been 30 seconds.

I just need five minutes.
I just need to hand this over.

There are letters in the
glove compartment. Can you take them out?

-The glove compartment?
-The glove…

-Not that. It's here.
-Oh, okay.

It's nothing weird.

"Nam Do-san"? We have the same name.

FROM SEO DAL-MI
TO NAM DO-SAN

"Seo Dal-mi"?

What is this?

It's a long story.

Yes, Nam Do-san is your name.
And Seo Dal-mi is

the name of the girl
you were about to meet.

I've never received these letters.

I'd never even spoken to Seo Dal-mi
until today.

I know. Why don't you start
reading the letters first?

I'm sorry. Something came up,
and I can't make it.

The human resources manager
wants to see you.

Why?

Finally.

You're going to become
a full-time employee!

No way. I'm not getting my hopes up.

-I know you are.
-Go see him.

You want me to quit?

HUMAN RESOURCES

Don't take this the wrong way.

It's just that we don't want to lose
a talent like you.

To renew your contract,
we need you to take a break first.

You could make me
a permanent employee right away.

That's not possible.

That requires certain qualifications.

You didn't even go to university.

Two years ago, you said

I'd be given a permanent position
if I prove myself.

That's just what we say.

You're lucky to even have
your contract renewed.

Learn a bit more from your colleagues--

And then?

Then you'll become
more experienced and competent.

And then?

Wouldn't that be great?

All right. You'll quit next week
and come back in a month.

Good. Oh, I almost forgot.

This is a reward for achieving
a daily sales of ten million won.

Go with Seo-hyeon.

LUCCA THE PASTA GIFT VOUCHER

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Yes, of course.

Okay. That's great.

In two years,

I'll make sure you get
a permanent position.

Do you trust me?

Yes.

Do you expect me to be fooled twice?
No, you little…

YOU QUIT!

You're coming tomorrow, right?

Mom's coming, too. She misses you a lot.

She misses me now?

So a girl named Seo Dal-mi
has had a crush on Do-san

for the past 15 years?

She believes the feelings are mutual.

That man has been writing to her,
pretending to be Do-san.

It's impersonation.

-What does he want?
-He wants Do-san

to meet Dal-mi here,

-looking like a hotshot.
-A hotshot?

-Can he do that?
-Of course not.

So you didn't come to talk
about investing in our company then.

I'm sorry. I know it sounds ridiculous.

But I'm deeply indebted to the person
who asked this favor.

It's just for an hour. Please pretend
to be the person in the letters.

Well…

Well, let's make a deal.

It's all about give and take,
don't you think?

Tell us what you can do for us first.

Don't make it sound complicated.

-Nothing is free.
-There will be a reward.

How much do you want?

Have you…

had a chance to look at our business plan?

Well, yes.

Are you interested in investing?

Your business is still in the
early stage for us to invest.

What does that mean? We're too early?

He thinks it's too early
to invest in our company.

So he means
we're in different weight classes.

Is it because it's too early

or because we have no potential?

Look.

I'm not here as an investor.

I'm here to ask a favor,
and I'm going to reward you.

How much do you want?

You say it only takes an hour,

but he'll have to spend all day
getting ready and everything.

Do-san is worth a lot.

You'll have to pay him at least…

-Two…
-Two million won?

-Unbelievable.
-Two million?

We'll have to think about it.

We'll discuss this outside.

Guys, follow me.

Make yourself comfortable.

Gather around.

Is it just me
or do we have the high ground?

-The high what?
-The high ground!

-Come on.
-I get it now.

How can he offer
two million won so easily?

And it's just for an hour!

Guys, look at this.

He's supposed to be the best VC there is.

A bonus of 1.5 billion won?
He must be extremely competent.

Guys, how about we step up our game?

Let's do that.

We have nothing to lose. Let's go big.

-Me?
-You.

SAMSAN TECH

Can he pull it off?

He must.

The future of our company is on the line.

What did Nam Do-san say? Did he say yes?

Even if he says yes, it's still a problem.
I'm not sure if he can help Dal-mi.

PAYMENT REMINDER

He's clueless and hopeless.

Is it that bad? My goodness.

Don't worry.
If I lend him my suit and car,

he might be able to fool people
for a while.

He looks like a nice guy. Easy to handle.

Just like you, Good Boy.

Seriously.

I'll call you back. Bye.

-Have you made up your mind?
-Yes.

I'll do my best.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

But we'd like a bigger reward.

You want more money?

-That's right.
-Yes.

No.

-No?
-No?

We don't need any money. Instead,

please let Samsan Tech enter Sand Box.

Then I'll do as you say.

I can't do that just because you ask me.

Sand Box has high standards.

You don't have to change the standards.

Change us. In this interview, you said

"The Sherpa people serve as guides
in the Himalayas."

Please stop.

"I want to be an investor like a Sherpa.

-A companion--"
-I never said that.

-The journalist--
-"…who guides and protects

-entrepreneurs--"
-I'm not a companion!

All those words were made up
by the journalist!

I don't even know what a Sherpa is!

Let me just pay you.

Here.

I know you need money.

We want to enter Sand Box.

We don't need money.

Too bad.

Sand Box is beyond my ability.

Are you leaving?

Yes. I'm sorry.

You asked if I was interested
in investing.

I've looked into
about a thousand start-ups so far

and invested in a little over 30.

Four of them didn't get
any follow-up investments.

That's not a high batting average.

I know. It's nothing impressive.

Among the start-ups
that I didn't invest in,

zero succeeded.

None of them.

I don't want to lose the latter record.

That's why I am never

going to invest in your company.

It's not because it's early.

That bastard!

Why does he sound so convincing
while saying we have no chance?

Right, it was very convincing.

It's just his opinion, not a fact.

Yeong-sil, turn on the lights.

Sure, what song do you want to listen to?

Nothing seems to go my way.

What song do you want?

I guess I won't be able to keep
the promise I made to Ms. Choi.

It really pisses me off.

-So play a song--
-Because you didn't answer, I picked one.

I hope you like it.

Screw you

Screw you

What a fantastic choice of song.

I'm perfectly fine

-Just kill me now.
-So why can't I get one?

You're just going through a rough patch.

Do you want me to find
a suicide prevention center?

The weather is so nice

-You're making me laugh.
-So why do I have a cold?

Hey, you're growing on me.

This is a good song.

No, I'm renting it.

-Lucky you.
-It's still a nice apartment.

She's getting up. Sit.

How are ETFs doing these days?

Are they better than stocks?

I got my parents a present thanks to them.

-Do you have any stocks?
-Lucky you.

-I'll buy a car this year.
-I'm doing the opposite of what you do.

-That's a good idea.
-You should try stocks, too.

Oh, my.

Did you try the suit on?

I thought it looked so elegant.

How much was it? It looked expensive.

It wasn't that expensive.

I have a lot of money.

Tell me whenever you need new clothes.
I can buy you anything.

Let's eat. The soup will get cold.

Are you meeting In-jae today?

-Yes.
-But you couldn't find Do-san.

Instead, I'll show up looking fabulous
in that elegant suit.

Dal-mi.

What?

You're a cosmos flower.

And it's still spring.

Wait until fall,

and you'll bloom beautifully.

Be patient.

Okay.

Dad got me a beautiful music box
for my ninth birthday.

He said I could hear a beautiful melody
if I opened it.

But I never opened it.

Isn't that funny?

What if I opened the pretty music box

and…

I didn't like the melody?

What if it doesn't play any melody at all?

Because of stupid worries like that…

SEO DAL-MI

I never opened it.

Are you wondering
why I'm telling you this?

What I'm trying to say is…

Do-san, you're my pretty music box.

It doesn't matter if you never open.

I'M MEETING MY SISTER TODAY.
CAN YOU COME?

It was enough for me to know
that you were there.

I hope you know that.

Do you guys have

a suit I can borrow?

I bet you have a lovely melody.

I'm sure of it.

You've comforted me all these years,

and you always will.

I'm sorry.

-Good evening. Thank you for coming.
-Hello.

-Nicole!
-In-jae.

Will I see you before I leave for the US?

-Yes, when do you go to San Francisco?
-Next Tuesday.

Oh, it's soon.

How is your…

Oh, it's fine. And you?

-I'm fine.
-Fine? Good.

Are you going tomorrow?
Are you going together?

Good evening.

Hello. How are you?

-Mr. Han.
-Hello.

You look great.

Is she ashamed of something?
Why is she hiding?

Have you been waiting long?

Yes,

very long.

I missed you.

Looks like the mAP in the 41st
is winning, right?

Does this make any sense?

There's one here on the 43rd.

It says 43.2.

43.2!

Maybe the speed isn't good,

because the speed is related
to precision and the trade of...

No. It actually has the fastest FPS.

-It's true
-Oh, my God.

But think about it.

I'm talking about
a one-in-a-million chance here.

What country is the team from?

United States? China? India?

Let's say we do win a prize…

It says here, Mountain Technology
from South Korea?

Sang… Sam…

San Tech.

South Korea? That's surprising.

What's the name of the developer?

It's Do-san Nam.

No, it's Nam Do-san,
not Do-san Nam.

Last name comes first in Korea.

Oh, really?

That's something to watch out for when
naming during the awards ceremony.

South Korea is pretty far, though.
Will he be able to make it to the ceremony?

This Nam Do-san?

…but can't find any flights.

Oh, please make sure I meet this team
when they get here.

VCs from Google and Amazon…

Sure but I think there's
going to be a lot

of people who want
to meet them after this.

…want to invest in our company
but we're not there.

How awful.

We don't want such a tragedy
to happen, do we?

Yeah, I mean they have
the highest score.

-Yeah, I think they do it pretty well.
-Yeah.

Their speed is not as high as I expected.

Nam Do-san.

I can't wait to meet this guy.

I'm curious.
I want to know everything about you.

Thank you. I've never received
a text from a girl before.

-Why is this opening?
-Seems like they're having fun.

I'm headed to the address
on the business card.

I'm following in your footsteps.

I quit my job.

If the start is easy then
it'll be taken away easily as well.

It's all about potential.

Only 40 people will become a CEO.

-Why is he…
-I'm sorry I deceived you, Dal-mi.
