Queen of Reversals

Episode 15

It's winter so soon.

Omo! Look at the snow. Be careful.

It's all right.

Put your hands out of your pockets. It's dangerous.

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

What the... I fell on the ice! My buttocks felt like it split into halves.

Is it funny?

It's funny.

What the... I want to take back everything I said about you.

How good can you be? It's annoying.

Omo!

What the...

Grab my hand.

What is this? Are you teasing me?

Hurry! Pull me up.

Hurry! What are you doing?

Hurry! Pull me!

Forget it.

Goodness! What are you trying to do?

Sorry... sorry.

Just get up by yourself.

Oh really, my hands are freezing.

What's the matter with him?

Just when I thought he was getting nicer.

This is madness...

Oh my... What to do?

Wait for me.

Hold it.

You might wet the seat.

The seat is precious.

Made of expensive leather.

Still spiteful as ever.

I know there's another side of me.

Do you have any music that you like?

I like Kim Kwang Seok's,

"Around my 30's".

What do you mean around my 30's?

Shouldn't it be more like your 40's?

I still have years left until my 40's.

Round the corner is more likely.

Joon Soo, what are you doing here by yourself?

Jun Soo.

Let's drink together.

Bring whatever you have.

What's troubling you to drink alone?

Life is not plain sailing for him.

Though Hwang Tae Hee is very capable.

Her personality is...

No joking.

What are you saying?

He's soft-hearted but lack acumen.

He needs Hwang Tae Hee who's astute.

Right.

They're a perfect pair.

But finished just 3 years into marriage.

Frankly men who'd idolize their wives

after marriage are hard to find.

Brave of you to say that.

It's true a married man has no right to love another woman.

He certainly has right not to love his wife.

You're getting it all wrong.

You cause me to fear marriage.

An obligation to love your wife.

The mere thought scares me.

Don't say that, you're still young.

You know what makes you forget your fears as you get older?

What?

The joy of growing old together.

The more loving the couple.

The sadder for the one left behind.

Isn't it so?

Drinking again.

Single, you're out.

The married men, cheers.

Cheers.

Joon Soo, you're a married man?

Really.

So cold.

Where am I?

Honey, it's me.

I'm freezing.

Here? Oh, I see a lamp post.

Where in Korea is a place with no lamp post?

Don't walk aimlessly, get a taxi.

And I'm not your wife anymore.

Sober up.

Telling me to sober up?

You think I'm drunk?

- So what if I am? - What?

Tell me what I have done wrong.

My friend was caught with his pants down

and he got off easy.

If I was caught because I loved another.

I'm misunderstood.

I really, really...

Haven't done anything.

I lied against my will.

Because of your bad temper.

Afraid of being caught by you.

That's the reason I lied.

My bad temper?

If I really showed my temper.

You'd be boneless at pre-divorce.

I held back for compassion.

Wanting an amiable divorce.

Bye.

What? Hadn't done anything?

What more do you want to do?

Yes, she's my type.

No...

I must have lost my mind.

Ahjussi.

I've drunk too much, I can't go home.

Give me a room.

Ah, yes.

- Use this card. - We don't receive payment.

- But use... - Just go and rest.

Go ahead and bill it here.

I've said no paying, keep the card.

Ahjussi, you're one-in-a-million.

Meeting you makes me believe,

this world is still a wonderful place.

Alright then.

Which way?

That way.

- There? - Yes.

Honey.

Why am I here?

I clearly remembered I was in a motel.

Ahjussi, have you sobered up?

Why are you in police uniform?

Because I'm a police officer.

Eh?

Police officer sidelined as hotelier.

Ingenuous way of earning extras.

Times are bad lately.

But won't this infringed the law?

Let me regroup you.

I'm a police officer, this a police station.

You barged in middle of the night.

Said so cold, you wanted to sleep

and shoved your card at me.

I said you came to the wrong place.

You then told me I was a good guy.

This is a wonderful world and promptly dozed off in this chair.

Remember?

You must have felt outrageous.

Hurry home.

Your family is worried.

Good morning.

Looking like a beggar.

What's so good about your morning?

I worked all night and just came back.

Too tired to tidy up.

You know what's forbidden after separation?

What?

Calling your ex-wife when tipsy.

You're saying, I did that?

Nonsense.

"My friend was caught with his pants down

and he got off easy".

"If I was caught because I loved another...

I'm misunderstood".

"I really, really...

Haven't done anything".

Who? Me?

Were you talking to a ghost?

Those words were so right.

But I didn't say it.

Calling again when tipsy.

And you're dead meat!

Dialed Numbers My Wife

I should really stop drinking...

What's up, coming so early in the morning?

Do you have some bean sprouts?

Our Joon Soo came home drunk last night.

He must be suffering.

Get the bean sprouts at the corner store.

1000 won a bag.

Why come here?

You're here.

Our Joon Soo is in deep suffering.

He can't hold his liquor, resort to drinking.

He can't hold his liquor?

He drinks like a fish.

He doesn't...

Seaweed is better than bean sprout

for hangover soup.

This is what's left off the last time.

He usually takes this for his liver.

Give it to him.

I can't cook.

Can you teach me?

Hey!

Okay, brat.

It's because you guys don't work seriously, Korea is not advancing.

- Where are they? - You're up.

Where are my socks?

Coffee?

You're awake?

What are you all doing here?

Making delicious bean sprout soup for you.

Have you seen my socks?

I had it on me last night.

What is the meaning of this?

When I came too, I was here.

Don't know how it happened.

I know.

We had 3 rounds last night.

You invited us to your place.

And we came.

My place?

I tried to dissuade you.

Saying you'd not tolerate guests.

Not even a maid in your house.

I clearly said that.

But you insisted on us coming.

So I came along.

You know you've this habit of bringing

friends home when tipsy.

What's wrong with me?

I never get drunk.

Never ever.

What's done is done.

Let's have our soup and

go to work together.

Stomach-ache.

Where's the toilet?

There's one in that room.

Headquarter Director, you like soup spicy or plain?

I like it more spicy.

Me too.

Bean sprout soup should be spicy hot.

Delicious.

Eating together is so wonderful.

Agree.

Your girlfriend doesn't come by?

Girlfriend normally makes the hangover

soup the morning after drinking.

You have a girlfriend?

He went for matchmaking recently.

Got trapped into it. Trapped!

What are you saying?

It's not like that.

He'd rather buy designer bags but

never chocolates for girls.

But no long ago, a girl has...

Shy?

It's normal.

I'm not.

There's nothing to be shy about dating.

Very soon we get to eat wedding noodles.

I said it's not.

Cut the nonsense.

Please eat.

Is it good?

Who's the girl?

Daughter of a chairman.

Chairman's daughter?

Must be an ugly toad.

In today's time money can buy beauty.

Cosmetic enhancement.

Girls always hanker after 2nd generation rich.

But she is also a 2nd generation rich.

They fancy cute plain Janes like me.

Who comes from low-income family.

You think the rich's mom will

fill your pocket with money?

It'd be useful for the wedding expenses.

Kki Ppeum, less dramas for you.

Anyway you're not from a low-income family.

Your family has a condo in Kang Nam.

People like me qualify as low income.

Your family's in financial distress?

What?

But where's the Headquarter Director?

Why aren't you with him?

He has a good pair of legs.

To carry him around.

Why aren't you taking may calls?

Why?

You've things for me to do?

Headquarter Director, you've a girlfriend?

What?

This.. and that.. and when is it arriving?

When did the chairman and me...

You want to die?

You said she's not a team member.

So I presumed the match was a hit.

No?

Tell me who she is and,

I'll clear it up with the team.

Who?

Spit it out.

It's Chairman Na's daughter.

Just as I guess.

I'd be scared too in the same predicament.

It's a good thing.

Truthfully your father's backing.

Though strong, is limited.

Madam Jang's has won over half of,

investors and directors.

Your need leverages from your in-laws,

in the power struggle.

It's no secret Madam Jang wants you out.

And pulling strings for Director Han as Chairman.

Lately I was too focused on my work.

Women were not in the picture.

I'm not sure about you focused on work...

Women not in the picture is correct.

That explained why I lost some

measure of sense regarding women.

Hello, I understand.

Chairman's secretary called, you're needed.

Really?

Your sense should be coming back.

She's here.

Who?

She drove back in your car the other day.

This is due to my son's impropriety.

Ji Won..

My apologies on his behalf.

It's all right, Chairman.

I wasn't happy at first.

But later found him rather interesting.

He's the only guy who can stir

my interest after the first date.

Now I know why my daughter persists

in making excuses to meet again.

He's the splitting image of you.

Really?

I was praised for my looks in my youth.

I've seen photos of the younger you.

Don't we look alike?

Hard to tell.

Since we are here.

Let the kids have dinner together.

No objection.

You've other plans?

Got to cancel them even if I have.

For I need to find back my senses.

What are we having tonight?

Is doenjang soup fine with you?

Eh? Oh...

It's fine, how about trying something else?

What are these?

I'm returning them to the warehouse.

You should leave this to the guys.

Is she your team member?

Yes.

Is she the one?

"She is A and you're B."

She is the weird one?

I did not say weird.

What A or B? Talking about me?

You're talking behind my back?

She's weird alright.

Such boldness before her superior.

Actually I'm very scared.

But pretending to be bold for survival.

Are you always so rude in greetings?

I was rude?

Yes, you were.

I was not, I was correcting her

- for overstepping boundaries... - That staff belongs to me.

What?

Belongs to my team.

Whether she said a word or ten or

overstepping whatever boundaries.

It's my business.

I won't allow my staff chided by others.

Guarding what's mine is my style.

I can't drive you home today.

Can't give you my car keys lets you think of me.

Call the chauffeur, bye.

Let me help you.

Thanks.

Since the Headquarter Director is on a date,

I'm free to go off.

Date?

Ah, with that girl.

You saw her?

Just passing by.

I've known him for years.

He's acting strange lately, maybe,

it's because he is in love.

I misunderstood him when we first met.

Actually he's rather considerate.

Dating and marriage should be easy for him.

Considerate?

Never.

Why?

Just not too long ago, he bought me

chocolates to cheer me up.

I thought he hated me for my harshness.

But that day I was moved by him.

Give it to me.

Ok.

Thanks.

Please Team Leader. Do it for me.

He's waiting.

Who?

My cousin.

It was love at first sight for him.

Kept pestering me to introduce him.

Our team leader has astounding beauty.

Can't always veil her face when outdoors.

Bound to be sought after by men.

My cousin is a really great guy.

Meet him for once,

you can stop seeing him if you don't like.

Go and meet him.

Yes, go.

Forget it.

Go meet him.

You're not getting younger

and introductions shrinking by the years.

Where's your cousin?

You're a police officer.

Yes.

Is it a tiring job?

Mostly.

Yesterday, a drunkard barged into station.

Shoved his card at me for a room to rest.

Really?

- All kinds of people you meet. - Yes.

Mistook me for a hotelier the following morning.

I deduce he is an office worker.

Yes? And one who gives headaches to his boss.

Agree.

But I don't understand,

Why a pretty and good girl...

like you remains single?

Actually there's a guy I love.

What?

What is he like?

Met him when I was 20.

It's been a very long time.

I thought I was the only one for him.

However he rejected me.

And now he is the only one for me.

That's how it is.

It's what I get for ill-treating him

early in our relationship.

It was not my intention.

Destiny has timing.

If not destined, nothing could save it.

Not sure if I could save it.

But I'm determined to protect him.

Using my own way.

Don't know who he is, how I envy him.

But protecting is my profession.

I wish to do that too.

Jerk, why walk in this freezing night?

Why didn't you go for the date?

We've different tastes.

The woman you love...

Is she Chairman Na's daughter?

I've told you who she is.

Lies.

What lies?

You like Hwang Tae Hee?

Are you mad?

Why ask such thing?

I've already it's not her.

That's a relief.

However if perhaps you like her.

Stop it.

Legally or morally, it's impossible.

I said you were picky.

Surprised you fell for that type of woman.

Cut the nonsense.

What do you mean by that type?

She has a husband.

She's separated with her husband.

Ah, yes?

Is there a difference?

What could you do for her?

Could you be responsible?

Why do I need to be responsible for?

I was going into it.

Give up before you do anything reckless.

If she came to know your feelings.

She can't work in the company anymore.

You understand the significance for her

to work in the company.

For the concern of you both.

The only way to resolve it is...

Nip it before things get serious.

I'm leaving.

Ah, this is why you roused me at midnight for spare tires.

You're so sly.

You got the flu?

Whatever.

Take medication.

You care for me?

It's for So Ra.

Worried that you'd pass it to her.

Just my luck.

Reduce the clinical error by another 3%.

It's already 5% now.

Another 3% means 97% success rate.

That expectation is way too high.

With your competence it's not difficult.

Let's meet halfway, settle for 1.5% instead.

We've already the best clinical trial result.

I'm not aiming for best but breakthrough.

You're making my life difficult.

We got his consent.

Let's scoot before he changes his mind.

Thanks.

Hey, you can't.

You had him in the palm of your hand.

How'd you tell a kid sweep the courtyard?

Go sweep the courtyard.

Go clean the toilet... you don't want to?

Sweep the courtyard then.

So Ra is as agile as her father.

She's a mold of her mother.

Smart as a whip.

Reads so well without much coaching.

Our Joon Soo could read

thousand Words Classics by age 4.

Really?

Obviously he had forgotten what he learned at age 4.

He could get his own daughter's name written wrongly.

My late father-in-law always said.

He had the making of a cultural scholar.

Really?

Forget about being a Cultural scholar.

I'd be happy if he could made it as a Deputy Section Chief.

One has to brag within limit. Deputy Section Chief is his limit.

Aigoo.

Eh, he's no longer your son-in-law.

Why poke fun at my son?

Why move next door if you don't like?

Not afraid of nasty neighbor?

You've even taken my granddaughter.

Turning my son virtually into a divorcee.

I can't just hang around.

Whose fault was it?

So Ra should go with her mother.

Let's stop squabbling.

Find ways to bring them back together.

Isn't it what we wanted?

We can't compel them.

I gave some careful thought to it yesterday.

Find a dark haunt and tricked them there.

Lock them in from the outside.

What could they do after

a tempestuous night together?

Ways of a man and woman seems complex.

But is guided by simple natural laws.

So Ra.

Hey, hey...

In-laws or no in-laws, always slighting me.

Why come with no prior notice?

The secretaries are jittering at the door.

You better not fouled up with

the Chairman's daughter.

She fouled up first.

I wonder who you resemble.

I've something to ask you... man-to-man.

What?

You loved my mother?

Like what you see in the movies.

Fell in love and abandoned her.

Because of different status.

Was it like that?

You want to know?

Yes.

I loved her a lot.

Satisfied?

You guys go down and wait.

I'm going to the restroom.

Yes.

Aigoo, this is the Gent's.

I know.

Your legs.

How could you?

Got to finish within stipulated time.

Needing to go out because of every user.

We'd have no time to eat.

May this junk company collapse.

Why do you say that?

Why not?

Salary of 50,000 won, after working 3 years.

Said contract ended and dismissed us.

Are you new? You work on this floor?

I came for a meeting.

Selling insurance.

How did you come in?

You'd be evicted if you're caught.

The Chairman is very strict.

Set all sorts of harsh rules.

Be careful.

We've worked out with the respective

company the laying off of contract staff.

I want you to look over it again.

It was always left it to my discretion.

I understand.

Come to my office.

Yes.

Have you heard?

The special team has persuaded a

woman to try their healthy diet.

And that woman gave an affirmative response as well.

Yes.

Find her.

You want me to thwart their plans?

You question too much.

Can we be sure this time?

This competition is not merely

departmental rivalry.

It's vying for the post of next chairman.

It's an opportunity for Goo Yong Shik,

the chairman's choice, to garner support.

The chairman will personally attend

So will the top company officials.

It's going to be a big event.

Understand?

Yes.

Then why...

I beg you to believe me for once.

This time I'd not resort to trickery.

So you're not willing.

I see.

I'll take care of it.

You may leave.

Why? Go out.

I'll do it.

I was not in my right mind just now.

I'll do as you instructed.

Good.

Then do it.

So Yoo Kyung will give her practice

presentation in 10 minutes. You ought to see it.

Ah, yes?

About Manager Mok's housing...

Have you done anything?

Yes.

Recently the rental has skyrocketed.

It's as costly as the exam hall of the past.

His money can't...

I'll top up, find a suitable place.

Is it that inconvenient?

How can it be convenient?

I'm used to living alone.

Sharing is not my style.

The obesity is...

Your voice is too soft.

Blood circulation...

Because circulation is bad...

Stop fidgeting.

You're causing scratchy noise.

Because body temperature is rather low.

Normal temperature is 36.5 to 36.8 degree.

Weight gainers body temperature is normally

a degree lower.

Wait.

This won't do.

No improvement.

You are supposed to be training.

What have you been doing?

Team leader has tried her best.

What Team Leader?

She is a contract staff.

Is that why you're so laxed?

No.

Then find a solution.

No laxing.

Sorry.

Let's go out.

Let's go sir.

We've got to find a solution.

Go.

- Go where? - Go.

You know not of the Middle Path?

Turned hostile because of what I said yesterday.

You have to cause embarrassment?

It's not because of what you said.

Then what?

Not only do you demoralize Tae Hee...

Yoo Kyung was affected too.

Where are they going?

Is she going to bash up Yoo Kyung?

Yoo Kyung.

Pretend they are the top officials.

Try it.

I can't, sorry.

I really can't.

Why cry?

Sorry.

Looks like this won't work.

Don't pressure her.

Why don't you present?

You've the speaking skill.

You are not helping her.

Your indulgence invited snide remarks that you

gave comfort but no advancement to staff.

What?

Whip them if necessary.

That's a leader.

Forget it if you can't do.

You're not helping your team if you allow them to fall.

Please don't say anymore.

It's my fault.

Don't play the good guy.

In a company a good guy is not a kind inefficient soul.

But one who gets things done even if he's vicious.

Understand?

I've no wish to be like this.

I can't help myself.

Failing doesn't mean only you fall.

You'll drag down the whole team.

Why can't you understand?

Yes.

I too, hate my incompetence self.

Let's go.

What are we going to do if you leave?

What do you want me to do?

Hi, everyone.

I'm Mok Young Chul.

I have been a manager for years.

Most in my batch got promoted.

And some ventured out on their own.

I remain as a manager.

I'm also a... wild goose father...

And also... I... I...

My time is limited

I was diagnosed with end stage liver cancer.

Projected with 6 months left.

I long to see my wife and son in overseas.

But I couldn't go.

For I've to work till the day I die.

To qualify for the pension.

I'm always an under-achiever.

Even when I die.

The company will carry on operating.

The world continues to spin.

This I understand.

I had planned to leave quietly.

But now I've a reason to strive.

I want to be useful for my team.

They respect the useless me as senior.

Because of that I hope to work for them.

No, it's I want to work for them.

This I promise in everyone's presence.

Hey, what are you selling?

Umbrella or stockings?

Come to the point.

We're not here to sell things.

We only desire you to hear us.

I'm So Yoo Kyung.

I've 3 siblings and I'm the eldest.

Ever since, I always gave a lion's share of

food and learning aids to my siblings.

During college.

I had to quit after every semester.

To work for my sibling's school fees.

There was never an ego.

Or self-esteem.

Neither self-confidence.

How could I survive?

Who could I depend on?

Constantly living in fear of others' criticism.

I eventually became superfluous.

Often a target of reorganization.

Whenever company trimmed staff.

I got laid off.

Finally I was given a chance.

To present an important presentation.

But I got too scared...

Afraid I'd screw up.

Dash the hope of others.

And was left shivering in my shoes.

But now I'm not going to be afraid.

I'll show to all I can do it.

I'll make them take note of me.

Go for it!

Fighting!

Still want me to house-hunt for Manager Mok?

You're inhuman if the answer is yes.

Even if living with Mok is inconvenient.

Please take care of him.

His health is not good.

If he's not feeling well.

Take him to the hospital or call me.

People from Queen's came once days ago.

And had kept in contact.

I know.

I wish to talk with you regarding this.

Could I come in?

Please.

Thanks.

Your cough is worse.

You catch a chill?

It's fine.

Yoo Kyung.

Don't tell the others.

Don't you worry.

That ahjumma is really...

Disaster.

We can't get hold of the S line lady.

What?

I can't get through her, by phone or landline.

I even sent 20 messages.

There's no return call. She seems to be hiding.

You talk big but can't do a minor task.

We're trying to reach her.

I'm not interested in such.

I want results.

What?

I think it's my fault.

You were angry because I was

discourteous to your girlfriend.

What do you think of our relationship?

You expect me to overlook your mistakes.

No, I don't.

I might have done something to cause misunderstanding.

I apologize if I have...

I jested with you because I was bored.

If I had known it'd affect your work I'd stop.

No.

You jested because you were bored.

And I thought we were at last connecting.

I was out of my depth, I'm sorry.

Be sure I never intended to lax.

Excuses, excuses.

Either stake out all night.

Or hire someone to search.

I want her before me.

That ahjumma.

What if she doesn't appear?

She had already agreed.

And now disappeared into thin air.

Headache.

Headache.

Ahjumma.

Anybody in?

Who are you looking for?

Do you know where's the ahjumma who lives here?

Not sure.

I think she left with a bag 2 days ago.

Where did she go?

I don't know.

You're still there? How can it be?

Go home.

You want to wait all night.

It's too cold tonight.

You're not feeling well.

And running a fever.

Take any medication?

I never thought you'd be so silly.

I'll go with you in the morning.

Why have you come?

Has she come back?

No.

Why wait for one who's not coming back?

Go home.

You want result not details.

I'll bring the result to you. Be assured and go home.

You're sick.

None of your concern.

Don't bother about me, you go home.

As you please.

Don't blame us if you're hospitalized.

We won't take responsibility.

Don't worry.

Okay then.

It's none of my concern.

What could you do for her?

Could you take responsibility?

For the concern of you both.

The only way to resolve it is...

Nip it before things get serious.

I might have done something to misled you.

I apologize if I have

I jested with you because I was bored.

No.

You jested because you were bored.

And I thought we're at last connecting.

I acted out of my depth, I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

Get up.

I said get up.

What's wrong with you?

Are you crazy?

Choose... Either you'll walk or I'll carry you.

Put me down.

In this world what I hate most is...

To wait for someone who's never coming back.

Your silliness grated me.

So? Will you walk or I'll carry you?

I got it.

Put me down.

I'll walk.

Put me down.

Hurry.

QUEEN OF REVERSAL

We found the S Line ahjumma.

I'm just going there and come back.

Lend me 10,000 won.

I'm not a P.I.

She's gone into hiding, how could you find her?

How do you know she's hiding?

My wallet.

I didn't bring it with me.

Should I just tell her I found her wallet?

With you acting this strange...

Because you're in love?

I want to buy you coffee.
