(Episode 8)

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

My gosh.

Goodness, this is insane. Seriously.

I'm going home.

- Okay. - Okay.

Send me an email with the revisions.

Yes, ma'am.

- See you tomorrow. - Oh, okay.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Hasn't she been a little odd...

ever since Mr. Choi left?

Not just a little. Completely.

I guess Mr. Choi was an important part of our team.

The person you have reached is not available. Please leave...

(Section Chief Park Hoon Jung, Secretariat)

Hey, Mr. Park. It has been a while.

So...

is Mr. No in?

I see. No, don't worry about it. Okay.

All right, thank you.

Mr. No.

My gosh, Ms. Dang.

Why are you so startled?

Why won't you pick up your phone?

You once said you'd rather work with me...

than with ten other guys.

What's going on?

Did you find a new talent who's thousands of times better?

Are you about to throw me away?

I'm about to get thrown away.

What do you mean, Mr. No?

The sales with Baekho Electronics won't go too well.

At this point in time?

Goodness, wait. We had to jump through hoops...

and did everything as they wanted.

They can't back out now.

Baekho Electronics? I can't believe them.

It's not because of Baekho.

Then?

It's the president.

The president?

Mr. President.

(A week ago)

This is the due diligence for Baekho Electronics.

(Due diligence: An appraisal offered for the buyer before the agreement)

(An Innovation of Appliances for New Life)

(Patented In-house Technology of Household Appliances Division)

There were quite a number of patents owned by Changin Business Department.

Yes, sir. These are related to dishwashers and the Home Workout Mirror.

Dishwashers and the Home Workout Mirror.

These look too promising for us to give up.

These are all worth something.

Then what would you like to set aside?

Are you asking me...

to go, eeney, meeny, miny, moe, then pick out something?

You're to decide what will bring us the most benefit.

That's why you get paid.

- Yes, sir. I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

We've always been the last in our group because of this complacency.

How long must I get belittled even by Hanmyeong E and C?

I'll discuss this with the CTO, then turn in an analysis report.

It has been over a week since we turned in that report.

And the president hasn't decided if it'll be the dishwasher...

or the Home Workout Mirror?

I guess he's sad to see both of them go now that he has to give it up.

He's just staring at his cake in both of his hands.

Do you think he may not want to sell the department?

No, he does want to sell it off.

They're offering a lot of money.

Exactly. He doesn't want to give it up, yet he doesn't want it himself,

but he still wants their money. Isn't this the situation?

My gosh. He's such a wreck.

I'm sure we'll come to a conclusion.

Mr. No.

About that analysis report you turned in for the president.

May I take a look?

What's the voltage on this capacitor?

This one... This one handles five volts.

There is no way this handles five volts.

Did you check the pressure?

Check? Yes, of course...

Of course, you didn't, did you?

No.

This model uses 15 volts of power.

What were you thinking when you designed it like this?

If you use a five-volt capacitor...

for a model that uses 15 volts, what will happen?

Tell me.

The circuit board gets a short circuit, and it can break down.

- And what else? - And...

In the worst-case scenario, it can cause fire, correct?

Right? Ms. Jung didn't check the pressure,

and Mr. Sung didn't check on Ms. Jung.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

Have the design fixed, okay?

You have until tomorrow.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Hey, go easy on them.

If you're that harsh on them, you make me feel so wonderful.

Now, this is what I call work.

I have something to say to you too.

Byung Guk.

It's the parts for the second dishwasher.

Will you keep it the same?

Yes, the first one didn't cause any trouble.

Well, the trivial parts are fine, I guess.

But I think we should change the main chip and the circuit board.

Why?

Are you afraid it'll be unable to deal with your awesome software?

That too,

but the outsourcing company for our main parts is QK.

You know, the company that went on a huge strike.

Yes, you're right.

Well, but the thing is...

the parts they make are very cost-effective.

I'm sure that petty man, Paeng Soo Gon, of Purchasing...

will make us use the same parts.

He never lets us catch a break.

Man, that's also true.

Then why don't you...

go ask Han Se Gwon for the error report?

Ask him if there's a log of errors and trouble.

Even if he had one, do you think he'll give it to me?

You're the one who's in need.

Man, this is getting worse and worse.

The Product Planning Team proposes this 3D character feature...

as the key aspect of the Home Workout Mirror.

A friendly character like this will work out with the user...

and push them to keep trying harder.

Hey, Ms. Seo.

You know a machine with gaming features already exists on the market, right?

- Yes. - That's too much confidence from you.

Mr. Han, is this all right? I think we'll get sued later.

You're right.

Ms. Seo, you may get us in trouble if you plagiarize it so obviously.

It's not plagiarism, it's called a trend.

On top of that, if we didn't have a gaming feature,

who would want to work out every day? It's so boring.

It'll become a pretty tapestry by day three.

I believe we need to add this feature and put a premium on it.

She's right. It does need something to continue motivating people.

Mr. Han, if you want to make these 3D characters look real,

you'll need to recruit specialists from film sets in Hollywood.

We'll also need an expert on image recognition, embedded system,

hardware developer,

and software developers to work on the UX and the UI.

You'll need at least 200 people on this project.

Can we do that? We can't.

We have to make this low-cost.

You're right. Yes, you have a point too.

Mr. Han, do you have a problem with making decisions?

I'm right, but then Mr. Shin is right too?

Why do you keep confusing me?

I'm treading cautiously, Ms. Seo.

Then please make your choice cautiously but quickly.

Will it be premium or low-cost?

What do you think, Ms. Eo?

I'm also very indecisive,

so it's tough to say something.

However,

as Mr. Shin said,

I think we should go with a low-cost design.

Why do you say that?

When I was planning this,

Mr. Choi... No.

Manager Choi told me this.

The most important part is sticking to the basics.

If Hanmyeong Electronics...

creates the Home Workout Mirror that properly detects our movements,

this itself will be a miracle.

It's like a miracle of Moses.

Was he the one who helped you with this?

Correct.

I see.

All right. I'll make my decision.

Like what Ms. Seo wanted, we'll go with the premium one.

But...

(Product R and D Team 2)

Mr. Han.

Can we talk for a minute?

Sure.

You want to change the main chip?

Yes. We need to comply with the new addition...

of software functions and change it.

Why would you do that when the current one is fine?

I don't think that's any of your concern.

If you had any issues regarding it, I'd like to take a look at them.

We had no issues regarding the main chip.

How could there be no issues?

You're bound to continuously undergo trial and error...

when developing something new.

Are you saying you got everything right from the start?

Yes.

We made no mistakes.

Help me out here, will you?

You know how unwilling...

the Purchasing Team is about switching components.

Okay?

Look.

The original product had no issues whatsoever,

and we sold a million of them.

Can you not trust me?

That's not the issue here.

Also, shouldn't you share any issues you faced...

during the development process?

Help me out.

Gosh, why do you have to make such a big deal out of this?

- What did you say? - What?

- What did you just say? - If you didn't hear me, forget it.

If you want to abide by the formalities,

be my guest and look for it yourself. I don't care.

Darn it.

Are you seriously going to give me that attitude?

- Attitude? - Yes, that's what I said.

- You... - What's going on here?

The current component had no issues.

Yet, you want to change the company.

Wouldn't you be offended if you were in his shoes?

I don't feel too good right now either.

He didn't properly share the information beforehand.

Hey, Choi Ban Seok.

You just got back here.

Why are you already bickering with him?

You came back like you had wished. Just lie low and do your job.

Don't pick fights with others.

And continue using QK Korea's main chip.

Sir.

They had that strike last time and...

I'll take responsibility if anything happens. Happy?

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

(Home Workout Mirror will be a new household trend.)

(Small yet definite happiness)

(The development of dishwashers has become a must.)

(Dishwashers are also a part of built-in household appliances.)

These papers are only filled with the advantages.

How am I supposed to pick?

(New Life and a Smart Home)

Gosh.

Did President Han do this on purpose to make it more difficult to choose?

Gosh.

Gosh.

I should've written this instead.

- Jung A. - Yes?

Among faith, hope, and love,

which one of them is the greatest?

- Money. - That's right.

I really need you, who loves money more than anything else,

to help me right now.

Think of yourself as a CEO.

Read these two,

and pick one.

Are you writing another proposal or something? Are you?

Have you learned nothing from all the bashing you received...

from the job adequacy evaluation?

This isn't a proposal. This is the winning move.

If this pans out, I'll repay you.

Handsomely. Please help me out.

Come on.

You better keep your word.

Let's see.

Home Workout.

(Dishwasher 2.0 Development Proposal, Home Workout Mirror P1-2 Evaluation)

This is the right one for future value.

But this dishwasher is definitely a cash cow.

How long will you keep this up?

Hurry up and pick one already.

Be patient, will you?

We're talking tens of millions of dollars right now.

I need to make a prudent decision.

Gosh, this is hard.

Mr. Choi.

- Hey. - We should say hi to our neighbor.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

Hello. It's been a while.

- Have you been well? - Yes.

Can you look at this?

What are you doing?

What are these?

I can't make the decision. You should ask a developer for help.

And don't kiss him as a thank you.

- You're unbelievable. - What are these?

Ms. Dang will explain everything.

Thank you in advance.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Have you been well?

Yes. What about you?

I've been doing well.

So what are these?

- Here. - Thank you.

This is pretty simple.

If I was the CEO,

I'd pick this one.

(Home Workout Mirror P1-2 Evaluation)

On what grounds?

Hardware appliances such as dishwashers can only go so far.

On the other hand, this one has motion and voice detectors...

as well as motion learning.

A company that has these technologies versus one that doesn't.

Which one would you choose? It's definitely this one.

However, the company would have to spend money...

on the development for at least three years.

They'll have to reduce that to one year.

Securing a share of the market is important.

Exactly. So how?

First, they should develop the most basic and inexpensive model.

Then it'll be launched within a year.

Then they can gradually work on releasing premium ones.

That's what they should do.

I see.

You're right. That's an idea.

Why would the team leader of HR be so interested in a development project?

Well...

It's all for the company.

I can only thrive if the company flourishes.

Gosh, the president must be so happy...

to have a worker...

who worries about the company's future night and day.

Tell me about it.

Devoted workers like me are rare.

He should give me an executive promotion.

By the way,

you must be happy to be back at the research building.

You look good.

Of course.

Do I look happy?

I'm glad.

Anyway, thank you for your help today.

Don't mention it.

Right.

Would you like some bread?

It's okay. Eat up.

- It's tasty. - No, thank you.

Goodbye, then.

- See you around. - Goodbye.

Home workout mirrors will become the core of AI appliances.

The development duration should be reduced to a year.

It should be the main product of Hanmyeong Electronics.

As for the dishwashers, the company should emphasize...

how they're number one in sales.

I suggest that the company raise the latter's price...

and sell it to Baekho Electronics.

Is this the right thing to do?

Forget it. Let's just send it.

Okay.

(Subcontractor: QK Korea)

(Subcontractor: QK Korea)

(Profit Margin)

What is this? Why are they all from QK?

And continue using QK Korea's main chip.

Sir.

They had that strike last time and...

I'll take responsibility if anything happens. Happy?

(Profit Margin)

The top five parts with the highest profit margin are from QK.

Isn't that odd?

(Check Sheet of Profit Margin)

- Could it be it's just a coincidence? - What?

Don't you know any corruption about bidding is a sensitive topic here?

That's why the Purchasing Team is in charge of selecting the subcontractors.

On top of that, don't you know how meticulous Paeng Soo Gon is?

How can the director blatantly favor QK Korea?

Well, I know that.

But they weren't reliable due to their strike recently.

Why would he keep insisting on using QK without even penalizing them?

I don't feel comfortable not checking this out.

Fine. I'll look into this.

Just wait.

The president wants to see me?

Yes. After reading your proposal,

he said he would like to meet you in person.

Is that good news or bad news?

I'm not sure either.

It's impossible to read him.

Right.

He also asked Mr. Han Se Gwon for a meeting.

So when you see him here, be civil.

Even Mr. Han?

Why does the president want...

a presentation about the Home Workout Mirror?

Well, isn't that good news for us?

Perhaps, he'll favor us more than Maseong Business Department.

Great. Then, use this opportunity...

and ask the president to support the Home Workout Mirror project.

You should talk to him in person and get him on board.

- Say that again? - Yes. That's a great idea.

Yes. You should do that.

You'll be presenting alone.

You can tell him that much, can't you?

And he's no stranger. He's your third cousin. Okay?

Okay. Make sure to get his blessing.

Okay.

I'll get going.

(Director Go Jeong Sik)

What's this about, Mr. No?

Well,

it's about changing the main chip.

Mr. Choi was trying to work hard for our project.

But it seems there had been a minor altercation between him and Mr. Han.

And I already talked to Mr. Choi about this matter.

By the way,

we will be adding software to this product.

To do that, we will need to get the memory chip...

that can hold up to 128KB to smoothly optimize firmware.

But right now,

the chips from QK Korea can't handle that much data.

So...

we're trying to change it.

Okay. Sure. Go ahead. Change it.

Pardon?

Can we do that?

You're the team leader. We'll go with your decision.

Why would you ask me that?

Sure.

Right.

Okay. Bye.

Do as you wish.

Really? Mr. Go said that?

Yes. He didn't even argue with me.

"Go ahead." That's what he told me.

That's a relief.

Gosh, I had to go ask him because of you.

Overall, you have many problems.

But among them, questioning everyone is a huge problem.

- Gosh. What... - Seriously.

- How odd. - Gosh.

Wait up.

I'm so happy to hear that.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

Excuse me.

The doors are closing.

Are you attending an awards ceremony?

It's a regular briefing.

What about you?

You'll find out.

You'll only know that it is a very important task.

I see.

So did you work hard on this important task of yours?

- Why so interested? - You need to do well...

You should.

Good luck.

Do a good job. Okay?

Stay focused to the very end. Okay?

She's nice.

That's scary.

(The first premium home appliance, Home Workout Mirror)

Hello, sir.

Thank you for making the trip.

It was my pleasure.

- Let's begin now. - Sure.

I can confidently say that...

the Home Workout Mirror will be a key home appliance with AI...

and the future of Hanmyeong Electronics.

This is all.

I see.

(President Han Seung Ki)

This is great.

But don't you think it's taking too long if you need three years to develop it?

Let's settle it on one year.

In that case,

we can only complete the display feature.

To analyze the user's physical body through AI,

we will need three years.

That will be enough time for OQ and Hwason to beat us to the punch.

We're going to invest a lot of money and let the others catch up with us?

Is that what we want?

And why do you always tell me that it's not doable?

Fine. Should I just do this then?

- Should I? - I'm sorry.

What do you think, Mr. Han?

Well,

I agree with your opinion, sir.

In 2007, why did UR Electronics...

rush to make smartphones when it was clearly a challenge for them?

Timing is crucial in our market.

We can release our product first.

And if our product needs to be improved,

we can make adjustments from there. I think that's doable.

I'm glad that I transfer you to Changin Business Department.

Thank you.

Everyone, learn from him.

You guys are CTOs. Try to come up with ways to dominate the market.

You won't regret that.

Give me a year. And I will make a nice low-cost product...

that will suit our company's image perfectly.

Our company's image?

- Pardon? - What's our company's image?

Our company's image?

Well, the thing is,

compared to OQ and Hwason,

we are more popular and more accessible.

On top of that, we offer more competitive prices.

- Our products have great value. - So our image is cheap?

No. That's not true. No, sir.

Good work.

Wait.

Sir.

What were you thinking, submitting such a ridiculous proposal?

Just like...

your decision to sell off the business department...

for the good of Hanmyeong Electronics,

I wanted to be helpful...

in bringing success to the future of our company.

Did you prepare that line too?

No, sir.

How much can you do to help...

as a staff member of a rural department,

a mere team leader of Human Resources?

Has that never crossed your mind?

You can ignore my take on everything.

However, please don't disregard the feelings you had...

when you wanted Mr. Han and me...

to come in for an explanation...

when you first saw this proposal.

You're a funny one, Ms. Dang.

Mr. President, Mr. Han Se Gwon of Changin Business Department...

wishes to speak with you.

Put him on the line.

Mr. President, this is Han Se Gwon.

There was something I wanted to tell you before I left.

- Go ahead. - Yes, sir.

I made a slip of tongue before.

It's a complete misunderstanding...

that I see Hanmyeong as a place that produces cheap products.

And?

I, Han Se Gwon, wish to do my part...

for the future of Hanmyeong Electronics.

I'll make sure I turn Home Workout Mirror into a success.

You won't regret this. I give you my word.

All right.

Good luck.

Yes, sir.

Then may I tell the department...

that you have a positive take on this project?

- Go ahead. - Thank you. Thank...

Did you two plan this together?

You're both dying to contribute your work for Hanmyeong.

Well,

I guess you'll need to whine to get something from me.

You may go. Mr. No, you can stay.

Aren't they such a cute couple?

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

Yes. Yes, Mr. Go.

Yes, it just ended.

The president said he'll give us his full support.

Goodness, don't mention it.

I think he showed me a favor since I'm a part of the family.

Yes, sir. Don't mention it.

Then I'll see you in the office. Yes, sir.

The president's family...

is hardly a part of your family.

You heard that?

You need to get over this crush on the Han family.

You're competent enough...

to go out and make a living no matter where you are, right?

Why are you suddenly doing this today?

Just because. I felt bad for you.

What about you, Ms. Dang?

Why did you propose the job adequacy evaluation?

And why are you so dressed up to make a report to headquarters?

That's it. We share the same heart.

We're strangers, but we have the same heart.

All right.

I hope you become a big shot, Mr. Han Se Gwon.

Just you wait, Se Gwon.

I'll make sure I become an executive before you.

So what Mr. Choi is saying is this.

Once you pour an entire bottle of detergent into the machine,

the machine will use it little by little whenever it's in use.

Then when it's out of detergent, it'll let you know on an app.

Yes, what do you think?

Not bad.

Our team can definitely develop...

- a software feature like that. - Yes, sir.

- Is it all right? - Yes.

- Is it? - Yes, sounds great.

- I like it. - I see.

Okay, then.

I'll program the sensor which will detect the level of detergent.

Okay, sounds great.

One second.

Okay, so it should be able to divide the detergent for the load...

Hello? You've reached No Byung Guk.

Who?

- Here's my business card. - Okay.

My business card.

- My name is Shin Jong Sik. - I see.

Anyway, so why do you gentlemen from QK Korea suddenly want to see us?

Bring it here.

All right.

We have a sample of a new main chip.

Goodness, how did you know we were about to change...

our main chip?

My gosh, really?

We came here at such great timing.

The OS is exactly the same as the one for the first dishwasher.

But the flash memory was upgraded to 128KB.

By the way, we will be adding software to this product.

To do that, we will need to get the memory chip...

that can hold up to 128KB to smoothly optimize firmware.

But right now,

the chips from QK Korea can't handle that much data.

So...

we're trying to change it.

We changed it to 128KB...

thinking you'll need that much to optimize the firmware.

Would you like to test it out?

Right.

Goodbye, then.

- All right. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Let's turn a blind eye to it.

As he mentioned, he could've come at just the right timing.

Only Mr. Go knows that we're switching it up to 128kb.

Well, I'm sure Mr. Go may have a story that he can't share with us.

- Byung Guk. - Ban Seok.

I'm only years away from my retirement.

I want to stay low, then retire quietly.

What if this blows up into a huge mess after we let it slide?

What if the Internal Auditing Team comes and asks if we really didn't know?

What will you say then?

This might end up causing us harm.

All we know for now is that the circumstances seem suspicious.

Frankly speaking, it's not like we saw him take their money.

Forget it, Byung Guk.

I don't care if Mr. Go took money or cake from them.

That's for the company to find out.

We'll stick to the procedure, okay?

My gosh.

Fine.

Why is the weather so nice? Where are you going?

Yes, Mr. No?

Yes, President Han made his decision.

He's only handing over the dishwasher team as you proposed, Ms. Dang.

Great work.

It's all your work, Ms. Dang.

Thank you, Mr. No.

And now,

we just have to set a date to sign the papers with Baekho.

Make sure there is no trouble in the department until that day.

- Yes, sir. - Right.

There is no problem with the Dishwasher Team, right?

Of course, nothing at all.

Yes, sir.

Goodbye.

Oh, hello.

Do you have some time tonight?

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

Mr. Choi, are you saying...

Mr. Go has been providing some kind of favor...

to QK Korea?

Is that your speculation?

Yes.

Are you sure about this?

I also wish this wasn't true.

But for most cases like this,

my first premonition turns out to be true.

And now,

we just have to set a date to sign the papers with Baekho.

There is no problem with the Dishwasher Team, right?

- What did she say? - She'll obviously stick to the procedure.

Is Dang Ja Young really trustworthy?

Don't worry about her.

She's someone who is willing to chop off her own limbs for the company.

My gosh.

She'll look into this behind Mr. Go's back,

so let's just be patient.

Gosh. Darn it!

What? Did you do something wrong?

What are you talking about? Don't be ridiculous.

Mr. So. Ms. Gye.

Yes?

I need you to swiftly check something.

Oh, QK Korea?

Of course, I know them.

What about them?

Well...

Mr. Han, hello.

It's been a long time.

- Hey. - Hello.

Okay. Alright then.

I'm back.

- Good work. - Thank you.

- Mr. An. - Yes?

Why was HR asking you...

about QK Korea back at the lounge?

Oh, that?

Mr. So's friend is going there for a job interview,

so he was asking about the company.

I see.

- Right. Mr. Gi. - Yes?

During the main chip bidding of dishwasher version one,

was QK Korea's rival...

Yujoong Korea?

Yes. Why?

I see. Mr. So's friend has a job interview there as well.

He asked why Yujoong didn't make it in the bidding.

He wanted to know if it was a lousy company.

- Goodness. - Gosh.

You're too naive and pale.

Don't people around you often comment about your face?

- Sorry? - I doubt that friend of his...

is some avid lover of main chips.

How likely do you think it is for him to get a job...

only at the companies that participated in the bidding?

What?

Hey. To put it simply,

that HR spy got you good.

What?

Gosh, no wonder.

That Mr. So. Darn it.

Did something happen during that bidding?

HR must be looking into it because they smell something fishy.

Beats me.

Did anything in particular happen that day?

No. Nothing happened.

(Hamju High Alumni's New Year's Eve Party)

Mr. Go and the branch manager of QK Korea...

turned out to be high school alumni.

In the past three years, they've been attending...

alumni events together.

Ms. Park of the Purchasing Team said...

that the component bidding for the dishwasher version one...

held two years ago ended quite swiftly.

QK Korea was the only company that had all the specifications...

the Development Team was looking for.

You said there were no issues.

You said everything was fine.

Have you even been monitoring the executives?

What have you been doing all along?

- I'm sorry, sir. - So?

How many people are involved?

Thankfully, it seems like Mr. Go is the only one.

I'll take care of him...

and fix this situation as soon as possible.

Ms. Dang.

- Yes, sir. - Aren't you aware...

that only yesterday, you had suggested to the president...

that he sell the dishwashers to Baekho Electronics?

Yes, sir.

If everything goes haywire because of this,

you'll be fired as well.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Do your job properly.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

- We're having samgyetang today. - Got it.

What?

Isn't that the Internal Auditing Team?

That's the director's office. Why are they going there?

What's going on?

Beats me.

- Let's go. - What?

You should explain this situation.

How could you barge in here and take everything?

We'd appreciate your cooperation.

But...

I'm sure there's a misunderstanding.

Let's go.

Sir.

Sir...

(Na Ri)

Se Gwon.

What is this about?

I just asked my brother-in-law.

They're looking into the director...

after receiving a tip-off about him favoring QK Korea.

- What? - That's not what's important here.

The Internal Auditing Team is seizing all documents related to QK Korea.

They'll look into all the team leaders who have received their components.

Didn't you use their main chip?

You're not involved, right?

Of course not.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

No.

I should get going.

What?

Se Gwon.

(Product R and D Team 1)

Darn it.

(QK Korea Development Record Product R and D Team 1)

(Development Issue Record)

Darn it.

What are you doing?

- I was looking for something. - I see.

Hello, we're from the Internal Auditing Team.

We'd appreciate your cooperation.

Seize all related documents.

What is this about?

- Sir. - Yes?

I think you need to look at this.

What is it?

(Main Chip Issue Report)

Are you getting audited as well?

Yes, in a few hours.

Gosh.

What is this mess? Darn it.

What? Is there any reason why you might feel guilty?

Hey.

The point isn't about whether you get caught or not.

Getting audited just feels awful.

Even if you didn't do anything wrong, you feel like you did.

People are saying that...

Product R and D Team Two was the one who reported this.

Team Two?

Byung Guk?

No way.

It's true.

I got this intel from the team leader of the Product Planning Team, Yoon.

Hey. If your source is Yoon, don't even bother listening.

No. This time, the intel was very reliable.

Hey, guys. It's been a while.

- Hi. - Hello.

What? Are you done already?

I don't have an appetite.

- Eat a lot. - Sure.

Bye.

Why is Soo Gon talking to us with honorifics now?

Isn't that odd?

What? What do you mean?

Did they find out that it was us who reported this?

We shouldn't have done that.

I told you we shouldn't get involved.

Gosh. I was waiting for you to say that.

After what happened to Mr. Go,

I can't seem to sleep at night.

I had sleep paralysis last night.

I sweated profusely.

When I woke up, my nightshirt was soaked.

It's because you're old. Okay?

Ask your wife to give you some meat.

Or herbal tonics will do.

You punk. Come on.

It already happened. Okay?

The arrow has been shot. And the train has left.

Man up and just keep quiet.

You're such a scaredy-cat. Goodness.

Fine.

I'm a scaredy-cat.

And my gut is as small as a saucer.

So I can't even eat now.

Byung Guk.

Take your tray.

Man up and finish that.

Gosh. He's so petty.

Thanks.

Aren't you busy these days? Why are you spacing out?

I can space out or drink. Don't I get to do whatever I want?

I'm off work.

Sorry. Keep spacing out. Okay.

Goodness.

Since we're off work, can I ask you a casual question?

When have you not?

What is the thing you cannot put up with at work?

The thing I cannot put up with?

Well, I don't know. But there are a lot of things.

I can put up with most of the things.

If my boss is incompetent, I can help out.

And I can deal with my workload with my skills.

But the thing I cannot put up with...

is corruption.

Especially from the higher-ups.

I cannot deal with this.

It's even more suspicious because it's from the higher-ups.

No matter how hard I try to avoid them, I can't help noticing these things.

What is it? Did you see...

something suspicious in Product R and D Team One?

What is it?

What?

It's nothing.

It's annoying. But I'll let it go for now.

It won't affect me or anything.

Let's focus.

You asked me the question, but you answered it on your own.

Please don't tell anyone about what I just said.

Let's focus again.

He's ridiculous.

As you know,

the Purchasing Team is in charge of choosing the subcontractor.

And I requested to buy the main chips from QK because their chips have...

good specifications and their costs are reasonable.

It had nothing to do with the director.

I see. You may go.

Okay. Have a good day.

Mr. Han.

When I looked through your office earlier,

we didn't see the issue report for the main chips.

You submitted everything related to this case. Correct?

Yes.

I think I gave you everything.

Okay.

Mr. Han, we can't use this main chip.

Pardon?

Look.

There's always an error whenever it goes over 72°C.

That's not a big deal. Can't we just move on?

The main chip for the dishwashers starts working at 70°C, doesn't it?

That's the standard for other companies.

But for our company, it must be able to handle the temperature over 75°C.

Pardon?

You want me to delay it?

Yes.

There's a temperature problem with the main chips.

I have to change our subcontractor or ask QK to look into the main chips.

I will need more time.

You know that there's already been a huge delay, right?

I can report this to Mr. Go,

but given his personality, he will just scrap this project.

Prepare yourself.

Gosh, Mr. Han.

You know that even with the warm steam feature,

the temperature of the main chip will not go over 70°C.

It looks like you're tight on schedule. Just trust us and push forward. Okay?

Hello.

This is CTO Choi Jung Young of Hanmyeong Electronics.

I emailed you the proposal I received from President Han Seung Ki...

regarding the direction of your Home Workout Mirror project.

Please read through it.

I'm finally moving up the ladder too.

(Inbox)

(Choi Jung Young: Proposal for the Home Workout Mirror)

(Development Proposal from Household Appliances Division)

(Team Leader Dang Ja Young)

So did you work hard on this important task of yours?

Do a good job. Okay?

Stay focused to the very end. Okay?

Dang Ja Young.

(Team Leader Dang Ja Young)

Dang Ja Young.

I'm about to enter the apartment. Why?

Gosh. It's too late for fried chicken.

I already ordered it. Go pick it up.

Fine.

All right.

Excuse me.

Hello. One second.

Goodness.

Here's your chicken.

What's going on? You rarely ever drink.

Well, just because.

I just wanted to grab a drink tonight.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yes, of course.

Even if I wasn't, I should be.

All right. You'll be fine soon enough once some time passes.

So what's going to happen...

with internal auditing?

I'm not sure.

I don't think he could make it back.

Most executive officers resign...

when they're faced with a bit of suspicion of corruption.

Don't be too concerned.

You just did what you had to do.

Ja Young.

What is it? Why are you here?

You two seem very friendly.

Are you two an item now?

Go home if you're here to pick a fight.

What's going on?

No, it's none of your business, Mr. Choi.

I need to talk to you.

I'm off duty. We'll talk at work tomorrow.

No, one second. Just a second.

It'll take a second. Let's go. One second.

Come on, let's go. I need to talk to you.

I'm sorry. Come here.

Okay, let me go.

Why is he sorry?

You're proposing to have the mirror fully developed in just a year?

Yes.

Why? Is there a problem?

There is.

Something so serious that the development itself...

may get suspended.

What are you talking about? Why would it get suspended?

I'll get fired.

What?

Can you stop the inspection on Mr. Go?

You have the authority to do that.

What are you...

Se Gwon.

Did you take something too?

What? My goodness.

You've gone insane, Se Gwon.

How did you end up...

So? You took that dirty money,

and you want me to stop it?

My goodness. Why should I?

I can't believe this nonsense.

I didn't do it over money.

Then what?

Darn it.

- Man. - Goodness.

Why are you doing this?

Ms. Dang. Ja Young.

Please help me.

The dishwasher out in the market...

includes a defective part.

Wait, what are you talking about?

I tampered with the result of the test.

We might have to recall everything.

Ja Young.

(On the Verge of Insanity)

Do you want to play a con game?

Why don't we let Mr. Shin put on the spandex?

It's spandex, for goodness' sake. Spandex!

This means Dang Ja Young knows.

Of all things, how can a developer tamper with the numbers?

Why does Mr. Choi go snooping around?

I'm going to make an official claim to headquarters.

We're on the same boat now.

You have to stop Choi Ban Seok.

Please don't raise a question on this issue.

You're one scary person too, Ms. Dang.

- I'm put off by you. - Me too.

- Dismiss him. - I'll take responsibility.

Ms. Dang!
