JULY, 2008

I'm home.

-Hey. -Hi.

It's so hot.

My poor sweetie.

What are you doing? Go away.

I want to be with my girl.

-I'm sweating. -Okay.

-Geez. -There.

There's no need for that. You'll get tired.

I'm not tired at all.

It's for my little girl.

I'm so sorry you have to suffer in the middle of summer

in a house without an air conditioner.

If I had to choose over a house with an air conditioner and my mom,

-I'd choose you. -Really?

Yes.

Then let's live here together forever.

How about that?

Come on, it's hot.

-Let go of me. -I love my little girl.

Where is the trash?

-This way, please. -Okay.

You mean all of this?

Yes.

-Let's get started. -All right.

Excuse me.

-I'll keep this one. -Okay.

You should rest more.

I miss her more when I'm alone.

I'll walk from here.

It'd be awkward if people see us together.

Hold on.

Take this.

Did the funeral go well?

Yes.

I'm Ha Tae-young.

I came here because the chairman scouted me.

I'll lead Sungun as a professional executive

not as the chairman's daughter.

She's already shown her capacity from the outside.

So please support her with trust.

-You're here. -Nice to see you.

Jae-woong.

-It's been a while. -When did you come back to Korea?

That was a bit of a surprise.

I've heard a lot about you from dad, Mr. Choi.

I'll do my best to assist you.

-I'm Park Sun-moo. -Nice to meet you.

Mr. Heo? I've heard a lot about you too.

-I'm Park Young-moo. -Great to meet you.

You should visit my office someday and have some tea.

We should go.

What's going on?

I thought you were the vice president's man.

Also, about your wife's transfer.

Transfer?

Did you not know?

I'm sorry, please excuse me.

Is it true that you're transferring Ms. Na to the Ulsan branch?

She's the victim in all this.

Please think it over, sir.

What's your visit for? You can't go in like that!

Leave us.

What brings you here?

I heard you directly ordered my transfer to the Ulsan branch.

You're crossing a line here.

I don't think you get to say anything about personnel.

Right.

I'm fully aware of that.

However, if this is about Mr. Park's affair with Ms. On

I need to tell you something.

If this transfer

is to sacrifice me to cover up their affair,

I won't just sit back and watch.

I'll publicize all this.

If that happens, it won't do you good either.

I've already lost so many things.

If you have nothing to lose, you fear nothing.

There's one thing I'm sure of.

If everything goes public,

it will be you who loses more, sir.

-Are you threatening me? -No.

I'm trying to protect myself.

Please do consider and make your decision wisely.

I chose you.

Every choice comes with its price.

You should also make your choice.

I filmed the video of the Tifone fair.

Did Mr. Bae tell you to do that?

I had no idea that he would use it for such purposes.

I knew it was wrong in the first place.

I shouldn't have done it.

Last night,

I went to see Mr. Bae.

But

he...

The VIP team?

Yes.

It's the core department of our company.

The vice president took control of the whole team.

Then the team leader Park became a director.

And the post is vacant.

Mr. Park?

Do you mean Mr. Park Sung-jun?

-Jae-woong's right-hand man. -Yes.

But something seems off between the vice president

and Mr. Park these days.

Something

must have happened between them.

I wonder what happened.

I'll look into it.

It's already been ten years for us.

Time flies, doesn't it? Back then,

I didn't know I'd end up like this.

I know, right?

How are you doing?

It must be tough to keep seeing him

around the office.

I think they're seeing each other again.

Those crazy people.

I'm all ruined now.

Will he be happy?

I wish everything about them would be ruined.

You wanted to talk to me.

Go ahead.

Is something wrong?

Jung-sun.

Young-jun! Seo-jun!

Clean it up now, or you're not having dinner.

Honey.

Dinner's ready. Let's go eat.

They need to starve about a day

to have the same energy as other people.

We'll eat without them, okay?

Let's go eat without them.

They say, "If you can't cure a disease with food

you can't cure it with medicine."

This is perfectly healthy.

It's done.

Enjoy.

It's good.

I must be a talented cook.

If I had known earlier

I would have made a successful star chef.

Watch.

Let's eat.

It's good

to share a meal with you at home.

Hey.

How will you deal with Mr. Bae?

2019 EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION SURVEY

I AM...

THE MIRACLE OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

This was posted on the board system last night.

I am a victim of attempted rape committed by director Bae Do-il

of Sungun Department Store.

I belong to the VIP team of Sungun Department.

I'm manager Lee Hyun-a.

On the evening of October 18th last year, he attempted to rape me

at Sinan Hotel.

At the time,

I was a person who wanted to win.

OCTOBER, 2018

Do you drink?

I drink as much as others.

Is that so?

I figure I could keep pace with you two this way.

I like that you're straightforward.

I appreciate it.

I wouldn't bring anyone on our side, sir.

I thought I was doing well

before that happened.

Mr. Bae. Where are you?

I brought the documents you've requested.

All right.

Here are the documents.

Where's our customer?

Right.

It takes some time to review the documents so we postponed the date.

Have a seat.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry, but I drove here.

You can use a chauffeur service.

No, sir.

You must be tired from all the meetings today.

I'll get going now.

What's the matter?

You should know by now.

Mr. Bae.

I think you misunderstood.

Come on. I never did.

Are you being shy now?

I know you want this.

-Come on. -Let me go.

Stop it, Mr. Bae.

-Stop it. -What?

-What's wrong? -Stop it!

Open your legs.

Darn it!

Hey, you.

What the hell?

I wanted to turn him in after that incident.

But I was scared.

In the end

I chose to run away.

After a year, I am revealing this

because I have found out

that there's another victim of his sexual harassment.

VIP MANAGEMENT TEAM

The past year

has been a torture for me.

It must've been the same for the other victim.

I cannot stand to see any more such victims.

Hence, I've decided to reveal this.

What is this?

Come on.

Were you aware of this?

Lee Hyun-a!

How could you keep this to yourself all along?

Damn it.

Why are you crying?

I had no idea.

What are you going to do?

It's not true. She approached me for promotion.

She's getting back at me because she didn't get promoted.

How could you get involved

with such a scandal at a time like this?

I will take care of it.

I'll make sure to reveal the truth

and prove my innocence. Please wait and see.

It's okay.

It was posted on the online community

where everyone in the industry shares information.

It was even covered in the news.

Isn't it a groundless claim?

She didn't get promoted.

She might've posted it to get back.

Whoever is at fault, we should settle this as soon as possible

and make an announcement.

We will suffer less that way.

If we try to deal with it fast

it could become even worse.

Let us watch how things go for now.

That'll be all for today.

Mr. Park.

See me in my office.

Yes, ma'am.

A year ago

Ms. Lee submitted a letter of resignation.

But you changed it to a leave of absence.

Were you aware of this?

Yes.

Did you stop her in case it'd cause a commotion?

She did not want this to be publicized then.

Why don't you

try talking to her?

The media have their eyes on it already.

It's causing a headache for the company.

You're close to her.

Try persuading her,

so that things don't get complicated.

She must've had to muster up so much of her courage

to make this decision.

I think it's the right thing for me to support her for now.

I apologize.

You're an executive of this company.

You should be on the company's side

instead of an individual.

For the sake of the company

the rotten pus should be pressed out.

Covering up the problem won't make it disappear.

I believe you have another idea.

Make a report on that and submit it to me.

Yes, ma'am.

According to the vice president's driver

Mr. Park and Ms. On, the vice president's daughter

seem to be in a serious relationship.

Sir.

Did you see the pictures from Ms. Lee's past?

Pictures from her past?

We went to the same college.

She's had so many boyfriends since then.

I heard she hit on him on purpose

and got back at him for failure.

-That's so like her. -Goodness.

I knew it.

It was so unlucky for Mr. Bae.

I mean, you can't clap with one hand.

He must not have done it alone.

What a world, seriously.

I'm too scared of female employees to speak freely.

From now on, I should give instructions to them

through documents or something.

Hey, Ms. Lee.

Don't you have respect for your superiors?

You see your superiors and greet them.

I thought I was invisible to you.

I apologize.

See? That rude wench.

-Ms. Lee, are you okay? -I'm okay.

DIRECTOR BAE DO-IL

Hello?

Why don't you post a sequel of it?

MESSAGE FROM MR. PARK

I will wait at the intersection.

Get in.

The chairman wishes to see you.

It's an important occasion, so try not to make any trouble.

The person you have called cannot be reached.

Are you here to find her?

How long has it been?

It's been three years.

Hi.

She's our family now.

I told him to bring her to greet each other.

Take a seat.

Let's eat.

There seems to be many rumors about the company.

Her love life is quite complicated

and she seems to have many issues.

Director Bae is getting in trouble for nothing.

It's an issue that the public might rage about.

We should treat it carefully.

I'll take care of it.

Tae-young, I trust that you'll take care of it.

Sure, don't worry about it.

Right, I heard

you had a funeral recently?

You must have been in deep sorrow.

This is a family event, so enjoy the food.

Yes, sir.

I was worried because this couple has no child.

Now I'm relieved.

I told Mr. Choi

to take care of the family registration.

Father, do you have to rush this?

She has the Ha family's blood. Why should we wait?

We found out about her, so treat her like she's yours.

Yes, sir.

Eat up.

You are now officially accepted as part of the Ha family.

Your appearance needs to be decent enough to be my daughter.

And your behavior and everything else.

If you don't behave, it's your mom who gets the blame.

I met the victims on the list,

including the ones who resigned.

BAE DO-IL VICTIMS LIST

BAE DO-IL

DOWNLOADING

HAPPY NEW YEAR, MR. BAE!

I'LL GO WITH YOU WHEN YOU'RE FREE, SIR.

IT'S A JOKE, JI-YEON.

GOOD WORK, PRETTY JI-YEON.

Please help us.

FROM BAE DO-IL

YOU TURN ME ON.

Four of them have decided to help us.

It's five including me.

If we have to go to court, it's going to be very tough.

We knew that this would happen.

Hello?

Is this Lee Hyun-a?

Yes, this is her.

This is Jung In-young of the HR team.

A report about the truth and an apology statement?

If we make this go public

the company's image will be tarnished.

This problem is not a personal one

but a systematic one.

If we find out the truth and fix our sexual harassment policies

showing our office culture is changing a lot more than other companies,

the customers will think better of our company.

I'll review it.

Also,

I have something to ask you personally.

Mr. Park.

How about you join my side?

I know that Jae-woong and you were quite close.

That's why I want you more on my side.

I saw your post.

It must be hard on you.

I'm fine.

These kinds of cases happen a lot.

It's easy for the company to find fault with female employees.

It's like an impossible task.

I know.

You thought it would be better if you made it go public.

But actually, it could go both ways.

It might be harder for you to stand because of that, like today.

Myungil also had a "Me too" victim.

She suffered a disadvantage in the company

and ended up resigning.

If you write a post that explains everything

the company will help you so that you won't get any backlash.

People will only talk about it for a while.

Wouldn't that be better for you?

GROUP EMAIL

What kind of an idiot sends an email to all the staff?

YOU LOOK PRETTY TODAY. DO YOU HAVE A DATE? HOW ABOUT DINNER WITH ME TONIGHT?

That day,

you tried to rape me at the hotel.

Try telling people that.

I'll just have to say

you approached me first for promotion.

Who do you think they'll choose to believe?

They believe people with power.

This is something that happens often when people are drunk.

I was a little too affectionate towards my colleague.

Seeing you react like this

makes me so flustered.

I'll let it slide this once.

If this happens again,

my trust for you will be diminished.

Becoming a whistle-blower

and becoming a victim of sexual crimes

wasn't something I could bear with my determination alone.

But among all these things

the hardest thing was facing my fears.

Whenever I felt terrified

I thought about the year I spent hiding.

If I lived hiding for the rest of my life

I would be in a much worse state.

That's why I don't intend to back off.

I hope many people get to know the truth

and this goes public.

That's how even the smallest changes are made.

Unfortunately, there were more victims besides me.

Some of the victims helped me to make this go public.

Anyway, I hope there will be no more victims.

How dare you?

How dare you?

We filed a complaint.

I should've given it to you earlier.

-Here it is now. -You can't take me down.

-I won't die from this. -You can't die now.

You should live, and pay for your sins.

I did the right thing, right?

This is Na Jung-sun.

I was impressed that day.

We couldn't obtain the result we wanted though.

You must have realized from the transfer this time.

If you make an enemy of Mr. Park

you also make an enemy of my husband.

It's weird, isn't it?

Why wouldn't he

give up on Mr. Park when he had an affair with his own daughter

and would abandon you instead?

Because Mr. Park is his favorite?

I don't know what you mean.

He won't

let go of Mr. Park.

They're quite strongly attached to each other.

I should get going.

Why are you telling me this?

I've been in an embarrassing position these days.

I thought I should torture him a little bit more.

Think of it as a gift.

I canceled Ms. Na's transfer.

We'll handle the matter as you wish.

I heard

my sister is trying to get you on her side.

My father

didn't even consider her

as a potential successor because she's a daughter.

Putting her in the president's seat must be...

a warning message to me.

As far as I know once my sister sees an opportunity

she will never back off.

I'll be honest with you.

I'm literally beset with internal and external troubles.

I need you.

What happened with Yu-ri

is all water under the bridge.

I must tell you something.

I plan to stay by Yu-ri's side.

I'm sorry.

I've chosen to stay by her side for now.

Fine.

I won't oppose your relationship with her.

But I have a condition.

File a divorce legally.

Then you can see her after you clear things up.

Yu-ri has already been exposed to the press.

It's also a disadvantage for her to be known for the affair.

You should at least have this much common sense.

That's my answer to the matter.

Now it's your turn to respond.

I came by your office a few times.

And...

I didn't know what to say.

Ms. Lee.

I apologize.

When you wanted me to stop,

I regret

taking it as a joke. I sincerely apologize.

I wanted to cheer you up. I really did.

Thank you.

You guys are so obsessed with your job.

It's pretty, isn't it?

Clean all this up before you leave. Or you're dead.

It'll be of use later on.

I don't have enough space for them.

Cheers!

Drinking soda on a day like this?

You should drink alcohol.

-I'm having a baby. -You're pregnant?

Really? Am I the only one who didn't know?

Thank you for your hard work.

You too.

This won't be the end of it.

Life is quite exhausting, right?

That's life.

You can't predict anything.

I didn't know I'd be getting a divorce.

A divorce?

Wait. Am I the only one who didn't know again?

Is that your husband?

Take it.

Hey.

Let me see her, guys.

When are you coming home, honey?

Mi-na isn't going home today.

Hello. Say hello, kids!

-Hello. -You too, Young-jun.

Hi.

Well.

I'm fine, so have fun.

It's fine, really. They're just acting weird all of a sudden.

Ms. Lee, thank you for your hard work today.

You know I played my part, right?

All those sexual harassment messages

being sent by the company's messenger.

I searched thoroughly.

-All right. -Dad's on the phone!

I'm sorry. Just give me a minute.

Thank you, Mr. Lee.

-What are they still doing up? -They won't go to bed.

We should stop giving them red ginseng.

They're still so energetic at this hour.

Let's seriously consider it.

We'll have a pleasant time alone now.

Sure.

Still, come home.

I also didn't know I'd be raising three children.

Or will it be four?

So what happened?

Cheers.

You guys are so mean.

I really am disappointed.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding back then.

I even sent you that text message.

I thought I should apologize.

It's fine.

I was a bit surprised though.

I didn't know you would send an anonymous text.

I got a strange text message.

Someone sent me a message saying that he's seeing someone on my team.

I must have lost my mind.

The message turned out to be true after all.

What are you guys doing? Hurry up!

I'll take this out first.

I'll wash these and bring them out.

ON HYE-SUN

-Bye. -Congratulations.

Hello.

Bye.

Love you.

Love you guys!

It's taking some time for me.

Ms. Na.

About the text you received that day...

Will you come in for a second?

Well...

there's something I want to ask.

It's about the day

when we first met after the breakup.

The day I was appointed to your team?

That day...

why did you do it?

It's been a month.

Yu-ri.

-We-- -I know.

We broke up already.

But...

we will be seeing each other every day from now on.

Are you okay with it?

Are you?

I have to.

MY LOVE

I'm having dinner with my wife.

I need to go home.

Your mother is here.

You love me!

We...

still love each other.

YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN SENT.

That was Yu-ri?

Why did you send that message to Jung-sun?

MS. NA JUNG-SUN

Where are you?

How dare you send me such a message?

-Jung-sun. -Leave the team.

Don't be a mess, leave for yourself.

Manager Ha Yu-ri? She's part of the family now.

Your father gave you the position. I wonder how you will get that.

-We'll be wrecked. -I told you.

Let's go to hell together.

It's better to be evil than to be half evil.

I know I'm a horrible person.

Please don't hate me.
