Wu Seung Hyun / Moon Ji Yong

Hello, I'm No. 756, Wu Seung Hyun.

The New Employee: Episode 2

Are you still with that person?

Oh, that person.

Sorry, I got an urgent call.

No worries. Let me know if you need anything.

I was a bit hurt that you never called.

Okay. I'll get going first.

4 years ago

Rainbow Rice Cake welcomes all sexual minorities.

You're here.

Hey everyone, say hi. He's in the same class.

Hi.

- Let's drink. - Give me some.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- Cheers! - Yes!

Hey Jeong Yeon, you remember my first love Jong Seok?

- Who? - My first love.

- He looks just like Jong Seok. - I do?

- Oh, come on. - He's a spitting image of him.

- He sort of resembles him. -He does, right?

What are you going to do after graduation?

I...

Come to grad school if you're interested.

I finished my Masters

and I'm helping my professor with his research before starting my PhD program.

If I have a hoobae like you,

I think I could endure this agonizing PhD program.

You're going to come, right?

Why was Yu Seong there?

Are you ok?

I know he was your everything during college.

You even went to grad school because of that bastard.

Don't swear.

Ok.

He's not even worthy of my bitching!

It's time you forget about him and meet a good person.

I want you to meet and date a good person.

How can someone as cute and lovely as you be single?

Courtesy of Na Yu Seong.

From Hyung Yu Seong?

That's not like him.

Thank you.

- Mr. Kim, the marketing team-- - I got the call.

I took care of it so don't worry.

Ok, thank you.

I want you to meet and date a good person.

- How far along are you? - I'm nearly done.

- Where should I take it? - The third floor meeting room.

- What do you think? - Pardon?

I think there are some issues.

Honestly...

Honestly?

It's not interesting marketing in my opinion.

"The No. one Korean card, J Card" is too boring.

Many people still use J Card,

but most young people don't.

Including me and my friends.

Their image is too old.

And most importantly, the card isn't pretty either.

For the future of J Card, we need to win over generation MZ.

I don't think we should rely on marketing using stars.

If anything, they should shock the viewers by casting non-celebs who are unique.

There should be restaurants, cafes, movie theaters,and exhibitions that generation MZ likes.

And hip brand stores can appear

and models that fit in those places.

The newly opened J Hotel

could be the final scene with people in their 20s having fun.

Something like, "My first card."

Why did you decide to intern for an ad company again?

I love ads.

I became really interested in ads in undergrad.

You seem like the Strategic Planning type.

- No, I'm not. - Never mind then.

- Let's go. It's almost time. - Ok, then I'll take these.

Bring the stuff you need to the meeting.

- Your notes or something. - Pardon?

You should attend this meeting as well.

Why is Seung Hyun here?

I told him to. Sit here.

You're an intern, right?

Can you grab a laptop charger from my office?

Yes. Where is your office?

Stay put.

Hey, Jong Chan. Did you pull an all-nighter again?

What the hell is wrong with your staff?

What? What are you talking about?

If your new hire doesn't have the time to get his charger then hire your own intern.

You did this before. Why do you keep pushing our intern around?

I wasn't aware of that.

I'm sorry.

I'll talk to him.

It's ok.

Since the slogan is Korea's Number One Card,

we're thinking of selecting the best celebrity

to expand the brand image as being number one.

Also as the number one card...

We'll focus on the three big perks:

shopping discount, gas discount, and flight mileage

which all can be done with a single J card.

We believe these three factors will help the card naturally appeal to the consumers.

Isn't that too boring?

There's no difference from the previous one.

Don't you know how important this ad is?

- Nice catch. - Nice catch.

Jong Chan, you're not going to go ahead with this, are you?

Let us know if you have any good ideas.

I can convince the client.

I don't have any,

but he has a very good idea, Ma'am.

He's an intern.

I asked him on the spot but he knew exactly what was wrong with this project.

I think you can trust him to handle it.

Is that so? When can you propose a new plan?

Can you do it by Friday?

Yes.

I will share the storyboards as soon as they are ready.

I trust you'll take responsibility and do a good job.

You know our contract with J Card will expire soon, right?

We need to extend our contract next year.

Yes.

Seung Hyun, hold on.

Calm down your excitement.

This is the best thing about our company.

Even an intern can have his own project.

It's also the worst thing about our company.

People at the top get all the credit.

Your idea will look like it's mine

or even the CEO or the company's.

And your participation in the project doesn't guarantee you a job.

It doesn't matter.

I'm just worried I'll make a mistake and trouble you.

If you do, I'll take responsibility for it.

And do you think I'll let something like that happen?

Thank you.

I look forward to working with you on this project.

Mr. Kim.

Why did you choose me?

Because it's you, Seung Hyun.

I think I can work well together with you.

Ji Yeon, who am I?

You? You're gay, an alum of S University, and a cute virgin.

Hey! Not stuff like that!

He said, "Because it's you, Seung Hyun." He said he had no reasons.

Did he confess his feelings to you?

Not really, but it feels like it.

Who is it?

Should we go home now?

Planning Team is having a group dinner so we should go.

Division Three's manager is quitting next week.

Right. Seung Hyun, why don't you join us if you're free?

Come! We'll probably have beef!

Did you see Seung Hyun's eyes open wide at the sound of beef?

That's not it.

You looked like my puppy when I ask him if he wants a treat.

Isn't Seung Hyun totally your type?

Seung Hyun, you're coming to the farewell dinner, right?

We're having beef today!

Ji Yeon, you look too happy that your manager is leaving.

He's got a better job offer.

So all is good!

You're busy right, Mr. Kim?

I'm going as well.

I should.

Ooh!

- Yay! - Yes!

We need to grill the meat.

Mr. Kim, please pour me a drink.

Your glass is empty.

Let's say cheers.

Cheers!

- You don't drink? - No, I do.

You can't drink like that at work.

All right, cheers!

Have some more beef.

Thank you.

Mr. Kim, did you just drink on his behalf?

Then you should get another!

Come on!

My glass is empty. Please pour me a drink too.

It's not the first time Ji Yeon has done this.

Cheers!

- Just let me be. - Slow down.

- I'm just happy. - Are you ok?

I'm ok.

Are you two dating?

Excuse me?

Are you two dating?

You seem very close.

Very touchy with each other.

Not at all.

Not at all. We can't date.

Because we're the famous

rainbow rice cakes!

Don't listen to her.

It's nothing.

Ok, it seems like you're not dating.

Mr. Kim.

Let me tell you about Seung-hyun, this poor thing.

He's never dated anyone and is still a virgin!

What are you talking about?

Poor Seung-hyun.

It's ok, it's ok.

I'm sorry. We'll get going.

Let's go together. I'll call a driver so wait a minute.

We can take a taxi.

It's on my way, so no worries.

I heard that you live near work.

Seung-hyun, are you ok?

Sorry. I'm getting tipsy.

The night view is so pretty.

You must like night views.

I do. A lot.

Did Ji Yeon get in ok?

Yes, I practically pushed her in.

Where is the driver?

He went to the restroom. Wait in the car.

No, it's ok. I can get home on my own.

Thank you for today.

I'll take you home. Don't worry about it and get in the car.

I'm really ok.
