Original subtitles

Can I talk to you for a minute?

What...

What are you doing?

I thought I made it clear that I have nothing to say to you.

I have a lot to say.

I'm sorry.

Sorry for what?

Why are you sorry?

I'm sorry for misunderstanding you.

I thought you were at home.

I only found out this morning that you went to work last night.

I'm so sorry.

Let's say I lied to you. Okay?

Does it make you that angry though?

I wasn't angry.

It just bothered me, that's all.

Stop being bothered about it, then.

Can't you just not do anything that would bother me?

Can't you?

Why should I do that?

I don't know.

Can't you just say okay?

Am I supposed to do

whatever you tell me to do?

Is that it?

Do you think I'm a fool?

No. I'll do whatever I want to do.

That's not what I meant.

Did you hear about Gong Shim?

It was Mr. Yeom who personally hired Gong Shim.

-What are you doing? -Really?

-They don't seem related though. -I don't know.

Maybe Gong Shim is his illegitimate child.

It all makes sense why a girl like her can work as a secretary here.

Gosh, I really hate her.

Look at her face.

She pretends she's so innocent but I bet she's the opposite.

I heard that she is dating a number of employees here already.

-With that ugly face? -Yes.

Are you having fun talking behind someone's back?

Who are you?

Non-employees are not allowed to enter this place.

Who are you?

Let me introduce myself.

I'm the chairwoman's personal lawyer.

You should be more aware of your actions here.

Although it may be a conversation between you two, criticizing another person

is still a crime of slander.

If you keep making rumors that are not even true,

you can face legal punishment.

According to what I heard from you two,

you'd definitely face punishment.

I apologize for my actions.

I apologize.

Don't apologize to me.

You should make an apology to Gong Shim.

Make a sincere apology so that Shim can accept it.

Do it with all your heart.

I'm going to check with her later if you did that, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

If you're done with this, let me take it for you.

Why are you still standing there?

Go and apologize to Shim.

Oh, there's my son.

Is she the one you were talking about? Is she the one who saved you?

Yes.

Oh, goodness.

It is my pleasure to meet you.

Thank you for saving my son.

I can't thank you enough.

It was nothing.

Wow, you're so beautiful.

Oh, dear. What am I doing?

Please have a seat.

Let's have a seat first.

-Take my seat. I'll find another chair. -Okay.

I heard about how you saved my son.

If it weren't for you,

I don't know what could've happened to him.

We go to the same furniture workshop.

She is a lawyer.

Really?

She is a lawyer?

I am.

Your dad wants to see her. Shall we go to his office now?

I beg your pardon? To his office?

You didn't tell her yet?

No, not yet.

We are the family of Star Group.

Star Group?

Does that mean...

It is our company. It's his company.

I see.

I just thought he was an owner of a restaurant.

A restaurant?

I guess you thought it was a small restaurant.

Gong Mi.

Take this.

What's this?

It's for the wound on your arm.

It's a disinfectant, an ointment, and some Band-Aids.

It shouldn't get infected.

Thank you.

She's coming.

Why did I stop walking?

Why do I feel uncomfortable?

Gong Shim.

Do you know what I have for you here?

Am I supposed to know?

Well, it's for you.

For me? Why?

Come on.

Aren't you curious?

It's

something really good.

Whatever it is, you don't have to give me anything.

It's really good.

What is it?

Something very good.

Oh, my gosh.

I got some free wigs from a wig making factory.

I worked for their lawsuit regarding their overdue payment.

The quality of these wigs is impressive.

The quality is great.

These wigs are so pretty, right?

And the styles...

are good too.

They really are good.

I knew you would love them!

Try this on.

It's comfortable too.

How do I look?

It's so pretty. It's totally my type.

The medicine for my hair loss doesn't work.

My hair's not growing back.

It's all because

of stress.

Oh, well.

Whether I have a job or not, there's still lots to get stressed about.

How can I get rid of all this stress?

There's no place with no stress.

You just deal with it and let it go.

These must be pretty expensive.

I earned a lot of money, right?

I don't need them. They are all for you.

I'm not sure if I should take them,

but thank you.

Wait. The one you tried on first...

Yes, this one.

I like it.

Wear this to work tomorrow.

No, I don't want to.

I'm

going to wear this one.

Wear that on the weekends to refresh your mood.

Wear this one.

Why do you keep telling me what to do?

Stop that.

I'll do what I want to.

Thank you for the wigs.

Oh, right.

I got an apology from my senior secretaries.

Thank you.

LOVE COMPATIBILITY TEST AN DAN-TAE AND GONG SHIM

What are you doing?

Are you doing the love compatibility thing?

Look.

I'm a grown-up.

I don't do childish games based on superstition.

Sorry, it looked familiar.

Since you mentioned it, it's just a superstition,

so it won't even work, right?

What are you talking about?

It's not a joke. It really works.

Really?

Yes.

Okay. You can go now.

Okay.

I tried on the wig you gave me.

Do I look good?

You look good.

I have to go work now.

Earn lots of money.

I can't put up with Ms. Gong anymore.

I hired her to keep a watch on your dad.

How dare she approach my son?

You know what I'm talking about, right?

It's a misunderstanding.

Why would she approach me?

She is not that type of person.

There's nothing between us.

Even after seeing this?

You two were spotted at a park, on the street, and even at the cinema.

This has gone too far.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why did you take pictures of us?

If I hadn't, you would have kept lying to me.

I'm so disappointed in you.

You hired a paparazzi to do this?

I'm going to fire her.

No.

Please don't do that.

I'm going to fire her right away.

Mother.

I'm telling you.

Leave her alone.

She didn't do anything wrong.

So leave her alone.

I made it clear.

Jun-su!

Mr. Seok.

Please have a seat.

Shim.

I didn't ask to see you because of something in particular.

I just wanted to see you.

Is that all right?

The president is on a business trip, so it's fine.

Is there something going on?

Is everything all right?

I got scolded by my mother.

Why are you laughing?

It's nothing to be laughing about.

That just took me off guard.

I was worried that it would be something really bad.

So it was a bit funny when you said you got scolded by your mother.

Come on.

I get scolded by my mom all the time.

I got yelled at all my life.

Shall I say I'm a professional now?

You have to be rebellious when you get yelled at.

Are you telling me to talk back?

No, I'm telling you to take it easy.

It's always the one who yelled that suffers more.

That's what I call rebelling.

It's my mother.

Don't pick up. She will yell at you again.

Just...

MOTHER

You know,

if you're yelled at once, you'll be yelled at again.

So it's best to just take it easy until the next time.

People who get tormented by it just don't know any better.

I see.

Why did you get scolded anyway? You seem like a good son.

Never mind that.

Can you teach me how to become rebellious?

What?

It's easy. Why do you need to learn it?

It's super easy. People just don't realize it.

Thank you. Bye.

You're so nice. Bye.

Mr. Seok, there's no need to be so awkward.

This is normal in this neighborhood.

Let's go.

Okay.

COSTUME RENTAL

You can just kill time here.

Don't think about what happened.

You'll probably forget about it anyway.

I get what you mean.

But do we also have to wear that?

Of course. You have to wear it here.

Don't worry.

Mr. Seok.

It's okay, you'll get used to it.

I regret agreeing to this.

It's fine.

No one cares about you here.

Can we do a quick round and then go?

Yes, sir.

Come on, lift your head up.

You're a scholar, so you should be confident.

That's better.

I don't speak English.

I don't understand. No.

My English level is eight.

They want to take a picture with us.

A picture?

Hey, guys.

Can you take a picture for us?

All right.

Thank you.

Thank you.

My phone!

Didn't you leave it in the locker when we got changed?

I don't think so.

I'm supposed to get an important call from a client.

I'll try calling it.

SEOUL TAXI

-Hello? -Hello, I'm the taxi driver.

We left the phone in the car, right?

Yes, you did.

I have it. You can come and get it.

You have to come now because my shift is starting soon.

Yes, thank you. We'll be right there.

-Does he have it? -Yes, we have to hurry.

Dressed like this?

We don't have time.

What if they call you?

Also, what if the driver has to leave?

Okay, let's go.

Excuse me. Hurry!

Sir!

Oh, my goodness. I didn't recognize you.

You're coming from Insa-dong, aren't you?

Here is your phone.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

She's such a sweet girl.

Have a good day.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

I found it thanks to you.

I didn't do anything.

Shouldn't we rush back to Insa-dong?

Right.

Yes, Mr. Kim.

You need my approval right now for the release?

I'll do it via e-mail then. Okay.

I know a place that lends you laptops.

Really?

One iced Americano,

and one caramel macchiato, please.

Okay.

Here.

-Thank you. -Did you finish your work?

Yes, thanks to you.

Should we go if it's making you uncomfortable?

I don't think I've ever had people laugh because of me.

You're used to it, right?

I'm sure they laugh at me because I'm dumb and stupid.

No way.

You have a talent for making people feel joyful.

I was able to experience it thanks to you.

Thank you.

I really didn't do anything.

Shall we go?

You first, my lady.

GULEUM LAW FIRM

You've reached Guleum Law Firm.

Hello.

Is Chun Ji-yeon there?

She's not in right now.

She's not?

I can't get in touch with Soo-yong either.

What should I do?

Are you talking about An Soo-yong?

Yes.

I'm his son.

Are you Dan-tae?

-Yes. -I'm your dad's friend.

All right.

Okay, sir.

Goodbye.

Who were you talking to?

Actually, he was looking for you.

He said he's a friend of Dad's.

-Me? -By the way,

what is this big tree in Yangpyeong about?

He called to say that they're pulling out the tree.

Aunt.

-Are you okay? -I'm fine.

It just slipped.

I should clean it up.

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

I don't see the same plant as the one I plucked the leaves from.

Are you looking for a certain plant?

Oh, that one. That's pretty.

Do you have seeds for that, too?

Yes. Hold on.

Here you go.

Thank you so much. How much is it?

It's only a few seeds. You can have it for free.

Thank you.

-Bye. -Bye.

Is that the tree?

Yes.

Didn't your dad tell you about it?

No.

I've never heard of that tree.

About 25 or 26 years ago,

your dad asked me to sell that tree to him.

Of course, it wasn't as big then. I sold it to him since he asked.

Ever since then,

he gave the tree fertilizers and trimmed the branches.

He raised it with care like his own baby.

But you sold this property,

and the new owner wants to build a pension here?

They want to pull out that tree, right?

Yes. Your father really loved that tree.

I wasn't sure if he wanted to take it with him.

That's why I called.

-I see. -Okay.

Let me know if you make a decision.

All right.

Dad?

Hey! Taxi!

It can't be.

He's in the Philippines.

I got it.

I dropped it again.

Why is it so hard?

It's getting annoying.

Buying the machine would be cheaper if you keep wasting money on this.

I think I can do it this time.

I want to get a cute doll for you.

I can get my own doll. Watch me.

Hold on.

I'll give it to you for being rebellious today.

Thank you.

But...

how did you get it in one try?

I used to work at an arcade while I was studying for college.

I got to practice for free.

I'll teach you the technique later.

You promise?

Where did all this water come from?

The whole place is flooded! What happened?

Gosh.

Oh, no.

Gosh, what happened?

Where is it coming from?

Water!

There's so much water!

The faucet broke.

I learned how to be rebellious thanks to you.

I forgot about how my mother yelled at me.

No.

You mentioned it, which means you haven't forgotten it yet.

You need to work on it a bit more.

Then, shall we go eat something so delicious

that will make us forget about it all together?

What could be that delicious?

PERVERT LAWYER

"Pervert Lawyer"?

It's Dan-tae.

I see.

You should get it.

Sorry, one second.

-Yes. -Shim. Where are you?

Why do you care? What do you want?

The place is flooded. Come and sort this out.

Flooded?

What do you mean?

The faucet broke in the bathroom. Water is gushing out.

The whole place is flooded.

I can't handle this alone.

You have to come and help me.

How am I going to help?

Call a technician.

Don't you know such things are a landlord's responsibility

unless it's due to the tenant's negligence?

I can't go now, so deal with it.

I'll visit you in the morning.

Bye.

Hello? Shim?

Gong Shim?

Did you see that?

This is how you rebel.

Did you do that just to show me?

Are you sure you don't have to go?

It's okay.

He can call a technician.

Let's go, then.

Taxi.

Shim.

The place we're going now is famous for their steak.

Once you eat it, you'll realize that teaching me was worth your time.

Mr. Seok.

I'm sorry,

but I think I should go.

I'm a landlord.

I should attend to any concerns from my tenants.

It's my duty.

-Your duty? -Yes.

Although I'm renting out a place I was renting,

I'm still the landlord.

You really have to go now?

Yes. I'm sorry.

Okay, then.

Sir, could you let me off over there?

Once you rebel, you have to go all the way.

It will get easier the more you do it.

-Okay. -I'll be going now.

Good luck!

PHARMACY

Take this.

It shouldn't get infected.

The number you're calling is currently unavailable.

Jun-su must be busy. He's not picking up.

He must be in a meeting.

I guess we'll have to eat on our own.

It would have been nice if he joined us.

I'm sorry about this.

That's all right.

Thank you for being so understanding.

Can you bring us our dinner?

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you for the great food.

Thank you.

It was nothing.

This is a scarf.

It's nothing expensive.

What is this? Is this to thank me for the meal?

Yes, it is.

Thank you.

-Goodbye. -Thank you.

The first time I met you, you gave me a gift.

I found the envelope with money when I got home.

I was surprised when I realized that you gave me 100 million won.

He doesn't owe me anything.

I only did what I should.

I can't accept the money, so I'm giving it back to you.

I wish you all the best.

She's cute.

Oh, my goodness.

What's going on?

Didn't you call a plumber?

You said you wouldn't come, but you came.

Where did the pipe leak?

-It's over there. -There?

It's over there.

How did it go?

I fixed it.

You're like a professional plumber.

Where did you learn how to do that?

While I was studying for college, I had a part-time job in this field.

I see.

Should I take out the remaining things in this room?

Yes.

Hey.

This looks very familiar.

Isn't this what I put on you when you hurt your forehead?

Is it?

Yes. Now, I remember.

You're right.

Why did you stick it here?

I threw it away. That's where I threw it away.

You didn't throw it away. You stuck it here.

That's not it.

I meant to throw it away, but I couldn't find a bin nearby.

So I just left it there.

But...

Hey, if you're going to help, don't just stand there.

-All right. -Okay.

What is this?

Hey!

-It's nothing. -I saw my name on it.

-Give it to me. -No. Why would I write your name?

I saw it clearly. Did you write bad things about me?

No. It's not about you, Gong Shim.

I know you wrote bad things about me. Let me see!

-No, I didn't. -Give it to me.

-It's nothing bad. -Give it to me.

Give it to me. Hey.

What are you doing?

Give it to me.

You did write bad things about me.

How could you eat that? You're disgusting.

I didn't write bad things. You can check.

Shim.

It really wasn't.

I didn't write bad things about you. Take a look.

Look.

Shim.

Don't just sit there, and come over here.

What is it this time?

Why don't you join me?

You're doing a good job on your own.

I'm not asking you because I need your help.

I just offered you to join me because you look hot.

This really cools you down.

Gosh.

I'm not stupid.

Do you think you can trick me?

It's really cool.

-Is it? -It's so cold.

This is so refreshing.

Really?

It really is cool.

-How is it? Isn't it nice? -It is.

-Oh, no! -Oh, no!

I'm standing in cold water, but why is it so hot?

Let go.

-My gosh. -Let's stop here.

-Stop. -Okay.

Good job.

Stop it.

Jun-su.

Mr. Seok.

I heard your house was flooded, but you're just doing laundry.

How did you know that my house was flooded?

-Shim told me. -What?

Were you with him when I called you?

Yes. That's right.

Did you know that he never rebelled against his parents?

Can you believe that?

What do you mean?

Gosh. You're all so innocent.

The first thing you do when you rebel against your parents is...

-What is it? -What is it?

You need to stay out overnight.

-I see. -I see.

I can't sleep at home because of all the water anyway.

Why don't we go camping tonight?

All right. Shim, let's go camping.

Let's go camping.

I'm sorry. I need to ask my parents for permission.

Please give me a moment.

Hello?

Mom, I think I'm going to be a little late tonight--

Do whatever you want.

Why are you calling me about this? Hang up, I'm busy.

Okay.

She said it's okay.

All right.

Here, the pork belly is cooked.

Goodness, Shim.

You worked hard doing the laundry today.

Let me make you a lettuce wrap with the pork.

One isn't enough.

I'm going to give you three pieces of meat.

Here you go.

Open wide.

It's so hot.

Have some water.

You should've cooled it down before you gave it to her.

That was your mistake, Dan-tae.

It just came off the grill. I thought she knew it was hot.

Thank you for teaching me how to rebel against my parents.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

It's delicious.

You cooled down the meat so quickly.

That was quick.

It's nothing difficult.

So...

you two were together during the day.

That's when Shim answered my call,

and instead of eating dinner with you, she came to my place

and helped me do the laundry.

A while ago,

instead of teaching me how to rebel simply with words,

we went to Insa-dong together.

We wore hanbok and walked around together.

That's what happened.

It is difficult to teach someone how to rebel just with words.

That's why she went to Insa-dong with you. Because she's nice.

She only went over to your place when you told her it was flooded

because she had to as the owner.

As you said, because she's nice.

That's not it.

That's not it, either.

Let's just let it go.

It's so good to listen to music outside.

But why aren't you guys eating?

Were you talking about something interesting?

Didn't you...

hear what we were saying?

What were you talking about?

Good. It's good that you didn't hear us.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Goodness.

Hand.

Hand.

Let's go.

Come here.

I can't tell which one is the puppy.

Good job.

So cute.

Pardon?

The puppy.

I've always dreamed of having a puppy since I was a child.

But I couldn't even ask because my mother didn't like them.

That's your charm.

You were born rich, but you're still kind.

Give me a kiss.

But from now on, instead of just listening to my mother,

I will do what I want.

I think I've changed a lot...

after I got to know you.

I wonder why I'm feeling guilty like a delinquent teenager

who encouraged a good student to go astray.

Stop teasing me.

Hello.

We would like to return these for camping car number three.

All right. Please sign here.

Okay.

Gong Shim.

-Please check this. -Okay.

Look.

Look at her picture.

Why does she look so nervous?

She has a very defiant look.

IDENTIFICATION CARD, GONG SHIM

Tomorrow is her birthday.

It's almost midnight.

It is.

Why didn't she tell us about it?

Dan-tae, you can go back first. I need to get something from my car.

Okay.

It really is her birthday.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Is it okay...

if I take one of these?

Sure, you can.

Thank you.

Bye, Marine. See you.

-Goodbye. -Bye. Let's go.

-Bye, Marine. -Let's go.

I thought they went to the rental center. What's taking so long?

Shim.

Happy birthday.

Is this from the toy crane machine?

Goodness, thank you so much.

I've never received a doll for my birthday present.

Thank you so much.

This is so cute.

I went there again after you left,

and I got this.

Thank you.

Shim, here.

What's that?

It's soil.

Soil?

Happy birthday.

I've never received soil for my birthday present either.

There's a seed in there.

It will sprout by tomorrow.

What seed is it?

It's a secret. If you're curious, take care of it.

Ma'am.

Lawyer An Dan-tae is here.

For now,

proceed as we discussed.

-Okay. -Tell him to come in.

I'll report back to you when we have the results.

Lawyer An Dan-tae.

Yes.

I heard you provide legal advice to our chairwoman.

Yes, I do.

Why don't we have...

some hot iced coffee together sometime?

Take care.

-Ma'am. -Yes.

How have you been?

We predicted Jun-pyo's growth

since he went missing and made a montage

of how he'd look like at his present age.

Does that mean...

this is how Jun-pyo looks like now?

It won't be a perfect match,

but it will be quite helpful in finding Jun-pyo.

I handed this over to the police as well.

What about other updates?

Ma'am, it normally takes more than three weeks

to get this one montage.

I had to ask a close detective to get this as soon as possible.

Don't be so impatient.

It will tire you out before we even find him.

Yes, I should be more patient.

Have you thought about the butterfly that I mentioned the other day?

Well, I can't think of anything in particular.

Here.

These are the pictures we took on the day he had gone missing.

A butterfly bow tie.

I'm leaving. Goodbye.

All right.

Bye.

What's the matter?

I think I left my phone here.

What?

Oh, here it is.

I'll be heading back to my office.

All right.

Ms. Yeom, this is the data from the accounting department.

Give it to me.

Stay there for a moment.

Yes, ma'am.

A costume rental shop at Insa-dong.

A coffee shop at Yeouido.

What? A camping site?

Ms. Gong.

Yes, ma'am.

Did you go to Insa-dong yesterday?

Yes, I did.

Did you go to a camping site as well?

Yes, I did.

With Seok Jun-su?

Yes.

But another friend accompanied us.

I was with him at Insa-dong.

But at the camping site, there were three of us.

In other words,

it means that you were with him yesterday, right?

Well, it wasn't just the two of us...

Were you or weren't you?

I was, ma'am.

What?

You were with my son the whole night?

Goodness.

Ms. Gong.

I want you to resign right now.

Pardon?

Stay away from Jun-su.

How dare you lay eyes on my son?

Who do you think you are? You should know your place.

What are you still doing here? I told you to leave!

I want you to get out of my sight. Get your belongings and leave.

Do you think people with money and power can do anything?

What did you just say?

If you don't like someone, you solve it by firing them.

Am I right?

That's the easiest way, right?

Get out.

Leave before I have you dragged out.

Yes. I'll leave.

I'll walk out of this place on my own.

No matter how much I fight it, I know I'll have to leave.

I know I don't stand a chance.

I already know since I've already been there.

But...

there's something I want you to know.

For you, it may feel like getting rid of a pinprick.

But for the victims,

it's heart-wrenching.

If you can't understand, I'll put it this way.

Don't live like that.

And stop being so arrogant.

After all, you're a human, just like me.

We're all the same.

She's so rude.

SECRETARY GONG SHIM

The weather is annoyingly beautiful.

HOME

Hello?

It's your birthday today.

I'm preparing dinner, so come home when you finish work.

Let me talk to her.

We're cooking bulgogi, your favorite.

Let's have a drink together. Come straight home after work, okay?

I'm busy. I have to go.

POWER OFF

Mother, did you meet Ms. Gong?

Were you the one that fired her?

Jun-su.

You said yesterday that you would fire her.

You fired an innocent person because of me.

I didn't fire her. She was the one who resigned.

She said being a secretary didn't suit her.

You disappoint me.

Jun-su.

Jun-su!

SECRETARY GONG SHIM

The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please leave a message.

Shim, where are you?

Please leave me a message when you see this.

Shim, we need to talk. I'm waiting for your call.

Sir, the presentation will be in five minutes.

We need to hurry.

The buyers are all waiting for you.

All right. I'll be there soon.

Yes, sir.

AN DAN-TAE

Hello, Jun-su. Is everything all right?

Shim disappeared after submitting her resignation.

What are you talking about?

I think she was forced to resign.

Her phone is turned off, and I have no idea where she is.

I can't go looking for her right now. That's why I called you.

Can you look for her instead?

All right, let's hang up for now. I'll look for her.

All right.

Shim!

I've been to every place I could think of.

Gong Shim!

What matters is to whom we give this to

rather than what we give them.

That is related to our image.

Shim.

What is it?

Why do you seem so friendly all of a sudden?

It's nothing.

You look awful.

Your feet are so dirty.

I didn't notice.

I've been telling you to pull yourself together.

I know. I'm sorry.

There's nothing to be sorry about.

What's wrong with this?

What do you mean?

It's not sprouting.

It will. You just have to wait.

But you told me yesterday

that it would sprout by today.

It needs to sprout in order for it to bloom.

I've been caring for it and giving it water.

I've cared for it a hundred times,

a thousand times

harder than anyone else.

But why isn't it sprouting?

Shim.

There must be something wrong with the seed in here, right?

No matter how hard I try,

isn't it destined...

to stay in the soil and never bloom?

Shim, why do you say that?

It's just like me.

No matter how hard I try,

there's no use!

It's just like me.

No matter how much I try,

there's no use.
