Original subtitles

Is there a reason why you like the Namsan Library so much?

I like the path leading up to the library.

It's different every season.

In the age of video games and VR,

you wrote you prefer poetry and novels.

You said that we should all be grateful to books.

Why is that?

Video games make you play non-stop,

but books are still there even after you take a break.

That's why I think we should be grateful to books.

It says, "various part-time jobs."

What kind of part-time jobs?

I waited tables, worked in delivery, and at construction sites.

Why not something less exhausting like private tutoring?

My dad told me money earned through hard labor

will stay with you for much longer.

I wanted to know what exactly he meant.

You majored in hotel management,

but seem more interested in the arts and humanities.

I think management and economics rooted in the humanities

could enhance our lives.

After all, it's all done by humans.

What attracted you to Donghwa Hotel?

The word "hotel" always stirs up excitement.

And since "Donghwa" means "fairytale,"

I think the excitement here will be like nowhere else.

So she's the president of Donghwa Hotel.

JANG-SOO FRUITS

What would you like?

All our fruits are fresh today.

How much is this basket of apples?

It's 12,000 won for a basket.

What?

It's more expensive than theirs.

Ma'am, the colors of these apples are different!

Even beef comes in different grades.

You're here.

Why do you think Korean beef is expensive?

Because the quality is on a whole other level.

These apples are like top-grade Korean beef.

I say you're top-grade.

I'll take a basket.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

They're extremely delicious.

If not, come back for a refund.

Oh, and…

This is on the house.

You're a born businessman, aren't you?

-Thank you. -Thanks.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

-Please come again. -Thank you!

I'm a better salesman, don't you think?

Did you come straight home?

Jin-hyuk!

Mom!

Is that food? I'm starving right now.

Did you miss food more than your own mother?

Don't be absurd.

-I bet he missed your cooking though. -Of course.

I came straight here because I missed you two.

Gosh, my baby's lost weight.

You've lost weight!

-Let's go in. Hurry up. -Come on.

-Honey, let's go in. -All right.

Sit down.

Smells delicious. I haven't had your food in ages.

You must've been hungry. Let's eat.

I have some good news.

Did you find a nice girl in Cuba?

That would be good news, but unfortunately, no.

Well…

I got a job!

What, really?

Where? Which company?

Donghwa Hotel.

You were worried because the competition was so high.

Well done!

So guys, get ready to go to Cuba

on your son's salary.

Cuba was really nice.

Oh, really?

Well, Cuba or wherever,

I'll be happy wherever you'll send me.

Well, then. Eat up.

Well done, my son.

I'm so proud of you.

Wait just a minute.

A lunch box won't do.

Honey, why don't we grill some meat tonight?

-Sounds good. -Thanks for the food!

All right. Eat up.

Mom, where are you going?

Jin-hyuk got a job!

Well done!

Jin-hyuk got a job!

I'll pass around rice cakes to celebrate later.

CHAN'S WHELKS

All right, guys. Here comes Chan's Whelks!

It's been a long time.

-Let's say cheers, then. -Okay.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

-So good. -Congratulations on getting a job.

-Thanks. -You'd better pay.

-Once I get my first paycheck. -My gosh.

-It's on Hye-in today. -Great.

Where's my present?

Right. Our present.

Where's my gift from Cuba?

-Sorry, I don't have any. -What?

You're just going to freeload?

I had to use the money for something else.

I bet you used it on that girl.

You're good.

Really? You have a girlfriend?

No, it's not what you think.

Anyway, I'm no longer jobless, so stop calling me out for help.

Yes, sir.

Now that you're employed,

let's start discussing our marriage.

This again?

But we're friends!

He's right. You should marry me instead.

Come on, guys.

You want me to die an old maid?

-Then go on a blind date. -Yes.

I'm not that desperate. I'm really popular at work.

Listen, Jin-hyuk. Once you've adapted yourself,

find out for me, will you?

See if she's really popular.

What's there to check?

She's obviously bluffing.

Hey, you're my subordinate now.

Be good. I can be very scary.

-I'm sorry. -Hey, you're scary.

You're scaring me.

-I'm sorry, ma'am. You're so scary. -My gosh.

Hey, introduce me to someone too.

Let me pour you a drink.

All right, Hye-in. Drink up.

-Okay, cheers! -Cheers!

-Congratulations. -Congratulations.

Thanks!

So the orientation starts next week?

Yes, apparently.

I'm nervous.

Whatever. Just do a good job.

Do you still not know which department?

As long as it's not the PR department.

You'll bully me so much.

Of course!

I'm going to pray that you come to our department.

Hey, about the president of Donghwa Hotel.

You mean President Cha Soo-hyun?

By any chance,

is she the curious type?

Curious?

That's a very expansive term.

I mean…

Does she like to venture off all on her own?

Without her personal assistant?

How would I know?

Right.

But I don't think she's like that.

Why not?

The ice princess venturing off on her own out of curiosity?

I just can't imagine it.

"Ice princess"?

She never smiles.

But I totally get why.

She has no privacy.

Why not?

You have no interest in others,

so you may not know about Cha Soo-hyun's life.

Did you even know that her father is Cha Jong-hyun?

You mean Cha Jong-hyun, the former mayor of Seoul?

Yes.

She became the figurehead for her dad's political camp.

Then she married into Taegyeong Group.

I hear Donghwa Hotel was her alimony

because her husband cheated.

I read an article a few days ago

about how she attended her ex-in-law's birthday party.

Now that I think about it, her life must be dreadful.

I mean, it's embarrassing.

It's like you're divorced, but you're not.

Conglomerate families are a weird bunch.

Let's stop talking about someone you'll never cross paths with.

Instead, let's talk about me.

About you?

Let's see.

When will you ever become pretty, Hye-in?

Can I punch you?

-Why are you so quick? -Get away.

Come here!

Hey, stop it.

What's this fragrance?

Is it lavender?

Yes, it's a fresh fragrance based on lavender and other herbs.

But the diffusers in our rooms are rose-based.

Yes, you're right.

Will lavender and herbs go well with rose?

I don't think they'd go well together.

I'll have them removed.

Good morning.

Can't we have thinner hand towels?

I don't see how they're different from the bath towels.

Yes, but they need to be highly absorptive.

A thinner one would be like a kitchen towel.

Then they'll have trouble absorbing the water on your hand.

Do you think this is good enough?

Oh, yes.

This is the hand towel from the Havana Hotel I stayed at.

I took one because I really liked it.

It's even embroidered, so it's pretty and classy.

I think we can do just the same in Korea.

I'll look into it.

Your welcome speech for the new recruits is here.

Would you like to read it?

It's my speech, so I should write it.

Just leave it to me.

It's always been that way, so I told them not to bother,

yet they went ahead and sent a draft.

Good morning, Ms. Cha.

How was your mother's 80th birthday party?

Thank you so much

for going through all that for her.

My mother really appreciated

the flowers and gifts you sent her.

It's the least I could do,

so I'm also happy that she liked them.

About this space right here.

Yes, Ms. Cha.

The number of tables seems to have increased.

Yes, we put one more table here.

That means you want to take more customers.

Yes, that's right.

Then did you lower the price for the buffet?

Pardon?

The current price is for a relaxing meal

in a large, spacious room.

But now that you've added another table,

shouldn't that change the price?

I see.

I'll have it immediately removed.

Let's not focus on selling, but building brand value.

Yes, Ms. Cha.

Looks like our manager was battered once again.

No way.

I only offered him my kind opinions.

Well, you're making us experts sweat with your knowledge.

Here is the guideline for our VIP event.

VIP BROCHURE DRAFT

1 MONTH LATER

No, no.

I'll see you later.

Okay. Have a good day, Ms. Cha.

My gosh. Jin-hyuk, you're…

You saved her life, so why are you avoiding her?

Ms. Cha will be giving her speech after the video, right?

-Yes, that's right. -Okay.

What?

What?

What?

No way.

No way!

Next, there will be a welcome speech by President Cha.

First of all, I'd like to express my gratitude

to those who have accepted our offer.

Donghwa Hotel respects your values.

Therefore, we also expect you

to raise Donghwa's values

in the most meaningful way as new members of our family.

Donghwa Hotel…

Donghwa Hotel welcomes

all of you…

We welcome all of you

with a sincere heart.

This is the headquarters.

Ms. Jang, can I see you for a moment?

Bring me the cover letters and the resumes of our new recruits.

You want to take a look?

Yes.

But why?

I was just curious as to whether you saw who I saw.

Bring them to me.

Yes, ma'am.

Wait a second. Where did I put that?

Everyone, say hello to our new teammate, Kim Jin-hyuk.

He was the best-looking new recruit.

Ms. Jo, I heard you're close.

Yes.

Hello, my name is Kim Jin-hyuk.

I will do my best to learn and maintain my good looks.

Thank you.

This is Mr. Lee Jin-ho, the department head.

-I look forward to working with you. -Don't just look forward to it. Work hard.

Yes, I'll do my best!

If you've any questions, Mr. Park is here for you.

I look forward to it, Mr. Park.

Why do you have to be so good-looking?

And this is your seat.

Thank you.

CONGRATULATIONS ON JOINING THE DONGHWA FAMILY

Hello.

He's 29?

He's young.

I am the son of a fruit-seller.

My dad has run a fruit shop ever since I was born.

Thank you. Enjoy.

People say I'm lucky to eat all the fruits I want,

but the son of a fruit-seller never gets to eat pretty fruits.

I only get to eat the ones

that are slightly off or bruised.

I sell fruits.

Oh, so you're a fruit-seller.

A fruit-seller?

Well, I guess you're right. I am a fruit-seller.

So he is a fruit-seller.

This is our organization chart.

I didn't get to introduce myself.

I'm Gu Eun-jin.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

We skipped her on purpose,

so don't get too close to her.

All the elders in Hongje-dong

are like my own grandparents.

They know everything about me.

I always wondered what the secret is behind their good health

and their good memories.

And I came to the conclusion that it's from hiking barefoot.

So it was true.

Is it really true?

What?

Do the elders in your neighborhood really walk up the hill barefoot?

Yes, it's really true.

In my neighborhood,

there is an old playground.

It used to be a place of refuge when I was scolded,

and I waited there until my parents came for me.

To this day, whenever I'm feeling distressed or happy,

I spend my time there sitting on a swing.

Enter your ID then press this button.

Thank you, Ms. Jo.

I am sure that the consolation, tranquility, and the acceptance of pain

which I learned there in that playground

that has kept its place all this time, will create great synergy

with Donghwa Hotel.

A playground in Hongje-dong…

Who do you think can draw out an expression like that?

I can instantly tell that he's talking to his girlfriend.

Your assumptions are always wrong.

Not when it comes to love affairs.

It's definitely his girlfriend.

Judging by the look on his face,

it looks like they've been dating for about 35 days.

Ms. Jang.

Yes, Ms. Cha.

Would it be rude if I asked him who he was on the phone with?

Can I omit the honorifics in my answer?

Forget it.

All right, let's all go home.

Yes, ma'am!

Shouldn't we have a welcoming party?

I need to go somewhere. Maybe next time.

Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

Have you ever been to Hongje-dong?

Of course.

I have a friend who lived there for 10 years.

I hear there's this playground that's been there for 30 years.

Do you think it means it was never even redeveloped?

It must be a place that brings back memories.

There was this impressive garden in Cuba.

It used to be the owner's wife's favorite garden,

and you could feel the history of time in it.

So I wondered whether it was real

that such a playground exists in Korea.

Is this from some news article?

No.

Someone told me.

Would you like to drop by?

No, there's no need.

Ms. Cha?

I thought it was someone who looked a lot like you,

but it turns out it really is you.

Your cover letter, Mr. Kim Jin-hyuk…

I saw your name on your cover letter.

Anyway, I liked what you wrote about this playground.

It stayed with me, so I came.

You see, I can't sleep until I resolve my curiosity.

Oh, this playground?

I wrote about it because it's my favorite place.

I was worried.

I was quite surprised to find out that a friend I had made

halfway across the globe turned out to be

the president at my new job.

I was surprised too.

I was worried

you might've gotten the wrong idea.

That I helped you out

because I knew who you were,

and that what you thought were good memories...

were all just a show.

You don't need to worry.

I know you're not that kind of person.

You must be on your way home.

Then please excuse me.

Ms. Cha.

I developed some photos I took in Cuba the other day,

and found you in one of the pictures.

I didn't take it on purpose. It was a coincidence.

Here.

Would you like to take a look?

Since you're in Hongje-dong.

-Right now? -Yes.

Oh, wait.

There's no view box.

Actually, no! There is one.

There is one just down the road.

Why don't you come…

Sorry. I got caught up in the memories from Cuba.

I forgot.

I'm sorry, Ms. Cha.

Where is this place?

This way.

Is that the guy from Hongje-dong?

Who is that guy?

Here.

Take this magnifying glass. Let me show you how.

Put the magnifier on top of this negative here,

and put your eyes right here...

just like this.

Gosh, it really is beautiful.

Do you want to take a look?

I say the photo doesn't do me justice.

I'll show them to you after I print them.

I hope you still won't say that, because that would mean

I'm a bad photographer.

Do you have any money on you?

Yes, I do.

I do have some money on me.

These machines don't take cards.

You want to try the claw machine?

Yes, it's my first time seeing one.

But this is addictive stuff.

Then let me show you how it's done.

Watch me.

I'm a pro at this.

You need to know exactly

where the center of gravity is.

The ones with big heads like this one

slip if you grab their body, so you do this.

That was just practice. Right?

Shall I have a go?

Sure.

I guess I'm good at this too.

Gosh, this is… I normally get one every single time.

But today, I was nervous with you standing next to me.

I mean it. Really.

So you were nervous because your boss was here?

No, a pretty girl…

I mean, yes.

Because you're my boss.

The pretty girl will give you the first stuffed animal

she successfully picked.

I'll get going, then.

Thank you for the stuffed animal.

Who were you talking to on the phone this afternoon at around 12:42 p.m.?

Pardon?

Oh, this afternoon…

I was talking to someone I really like.

Oh, I see.

You had a smile on your face.

Bye then.

At around 12:42 p.m.?

I can't believe this.

This is strange.

Whenever I'm with her...

I feel strange.

About that fellow just now…

He's one of our new recruits.

Oh, a new employee! I see.

The office is getting easier on the eyes.

It's great.

Did it undergo renovations?

What's this about renovations?

Unlike how you kill the atmosphere with your bad looks,

a bunch of new employees come in

and get the place alive and kicking again

with their good looks!

A new recruit also joined our team,

and the office has become

so bright and shiny.

What's so different about him?

Drop by sometime.

I'll line him up next to you so you can see the difference.

Hey, I had my days too.

Whatever. I know all about your past.

You were always as dull as ever, and I'm your witness.

How could you look like that from your 20s

all the way to your 50s?

What do you expect from us reporters?

We work around the clock writing articles.

It's been 30 years since you quit that job!

Then what's your excuse now?

I should just go home and sleep.

I'm not done yet.

Then finish your drink alone.

Sit down. People will pity me if they see me drinking alone.

I wonder where my shoes are.

Ms. Kim, here's your coffee.

Thank you.

He sure is handsome.

Right, sweetie?

I've known him for too long.

How long have you two been friends?

Since middle school. We used to live in the same neighborhood.

So not now?

No, I moved.

With those looks,

he could have a bad personality.

But it sounds like he's a nice guy too.

So, is he?

Now that you mention it, I've never seen him in a fight.

But he's quite stubborn.

Once he's set on something, he has to do it no matter what.

Then that should be me.

Pardon?

Why Banpo all of a sudden?

My mom suddenly wants to see me.

I guess your mother

really misses you a lot.

There's no way.

You've been busy with the Cuba project, so I guess you haven't met her in a while.

I hear Assemblyman Cha is at home too,

so enjoy some quality family time.

Mr. Nam.

Yes. What?

Have you ever seen us spend quality time together?

So, you were in Cuba?

Yes, for work.

With the Sokcho project too, you must be extremely busy now.

Take care of yourself.

Yes. I'm eating and resting well.

So don't you worry.

All she got was a measly hotel,

so how busy could she be?

Do you have to put it that way?

I have to leave soon.

Did something happen at President Kim's birthday party?

No.

Think long and hard.

Are you sure nothing happened?

Yes.

Then why does she want to see me again?

It's getting on my nerves.

-Who? -Your mother-in-law.

It's been a long time since I got a divorce.

Stop calling her that.

Whatever.

Your husband threw you out like he was going to remarry soon,

but he's been dragging it on.

And he's not my husband.

I still have some affection left for him

because I'm not cold-hearted like you.

Let me get going.

Okay. Have a safe drive.

Are you sure you did nothing to upset her?

Mom.

Did you ever see me do anything to upset anyone?

Ever since Dad entered politics, I couldn't even yawn when I wanted to.

And after I married into that family, I couldn't even breathe, let alone yawn!

Even now, I…

Dad, I'm sorry.

I'm not blaming you for entering politics.

I know. Get some rest.

Okay.

What man would take an interest in her with such an attitude?

I don't blame your husband.

Haven't you had enough already?

Come in.

You should've called me. I would've gone to you.

I'm not here for work.

Did something happen?

Son.

Yes, Mother?

Aren't you going to remarry?

There's someone I'm seeing.

We're getting to know each other--

Did you say Su-ah was her name?

She won't do. Her family just isn't good enough.

But I'll--

A daughter of a presidential candidate would be much better.

Like Cha Soo-hyun.

-Mother. -I have an important appointment,

so let's discuss this later.

I had something to discuss with you.

Please, go on.

It's about our children.

What do you think about re-marriage?

I had just been talking to my daughter about your son.

So you share my thoughts.

You should go home early.

I have a lot of work piled up.

It's okay. Take your time.

I'll be anxious, knowing you're waiting.

Okay, then. I'll go have a beer at home.

I'll leave the car here for you.

-Thank you for your work. -Good work, guys.

Thank you!

Thank you, Ms. Kim, Mr. Lee.

I normally don't mix drinks at work functions.

-Yes? -But let me mix you a shot

as my way of welcoming you.

But you've never even mixed a shot for Ms. Kim.

This is what I don't understand.

You'll find the answer in the mirror.

You're in no position to tell me that, Eun-jin.

My golden recipe!

Jin-hyuk can't hold his liquor.

Thank you, Ms. Gu!

He'll be fine.

Look at him go.

That angle…

-It tastes great. -Not bad, right?

Give me your glass, Jin-hyuk.

You'll have to taste my recipe too.

Yes, sir.

The macho recipe!

-Mr. Park cares for his subordinates. -Of course.

Give it here. I'll make one just the same for you.

Pardon?

She said to pass the glass.

But we're here to welcome Mr. Kim. So I thought…

You've still got it, Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim, if you pour too much, I won't be able to…

-Show him how it's done. -Yes, ma'am.

-It looks delicious. -Thank you.

Great!

-Let's fill our glasses. -Sure.

Just a teardrop.

Thank you.

Here's to Jin-hyuk!

Cheers!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Mr. Park.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Thank you, everyone.

Don't drink too much.

Don't worry!

Ms. Jo.

His bag must be bottomless. It just keeps on coming.

Ms. Kim.

I mean, Mr. Lee.

Ms. Kim.

-Thank you! -Sorry.

Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks.

When did you find the time to prepare this?

You're so handsome.

Thank you.

We all need to feel refreshed tomorrow.

-Refreshed! -Refreshed, refreshed!

Mr. Park!

Yes?

Mr. Park, wake up!

-You need to drink this. -Okay.

My gosh.

Then…

We need to be refreshed tomorrow.

Open up.

Gross.

-Ms. Jo. -Yes?

Take a photo. Let him see it tomorrow.

-One more sip! -It'll only embarrass him.

Guys, let's call it a night.

We drank so much.

Let's go!

We should go for round three.

Round three! Yes!

-Mr. Park, let me help you up. -Okay!

-Come on! -Okay, wait right there.

This is for me...

and this is for you. It's for your late-night snack.

Thank you!

I'll enjoy them.

Eat up, okay?

I don't need a lot.

Aren't you going home? It's already late.

Let's go home.

I know you won't go home unless I do.

Can you book a meeting with the Cuba team? I need to make some adjustments.

Yes, I'll contact them.

Taxi! Taxi!

See you tomorrow, Ms. Kim.

Take care, Ms. Kim!

See you tomorrow!

-I'll take you home. -Come on.

I know your place is in the opposite direction.

So you should go, Ms. Jo.

No, you're too drunk.

Let's go.

You said you're my boss at work.

So there, Ms. Jo.

I'll take you home.

I'm fine!

Please take good care of her!

Take care!

Hey, it's our hotel.

Is he drunk?

Gosh, that's cold.

What?

It's raining.

It's raining.

Ms. Cha!

I see you're getting off work late.

You really are...

a hard-working president.

Looks like you're drunk.

I'm still upset that you rejected the business class ticket.

So why don't you get in this time?

Okay!

Did you have a team dinner?

Yes!

It was so good.

And everyone drinks so well.

Where is this place?

Is that a zipper on your tie?

Yes, they sell ties like this.

I can't tie ties,

so this is my savior.

Do you want to try it too? It's really easy.

You just pull it like this, when you're taking it off.

Isn't that nice?

I wanted to ask you something.

-Sure. -Is that the only suit you've got?

That's because you've only seen me in this suit.

I got this at my mom's friend's shop,

and it's buy one, get one free.

My other suit is much finer, and it's gray.

Gray!

Whereas this is navy.

But then again, I look great in both.

Because men are all about suits!

Right?

It's the playground.

Thank you, Ms. Cha.

Thanks to you, I had a comfortable ride home.

It's my way of repaying you, so don't feel burdened.

What a relief.

You need to drive again,

and it's not raining anymore.

You might get tired on your way back.

Oh, that's right!

Ta-da!

Chew on this on your way home. Dried squid beats sleep!

This squid is perfectly seasoned,

so it's very nice.

I was going to have it before bed, but for you…

Here you go.

No, here. Give it to me here.

I'll eat it on my way home. So here.

You think it's dirty.

You think my hand is dirty, my pocket is dirty,

and my hands that ripped these into strips are dirty.

No…

I just don't like squid very much.

I watched the salsa show three times,

but I went there again just for you.

I pretty much memorized the dance and even almost got on stage.

Wait a minute. I did get up there.

Give it to me. I'll eat it.

But if you touch the steering wheel, it'll reek of squid.

If you open your mouth, I'll just pop it in.

Here you go.

Okay then.

I'll get going.

By the way, your car is awesome!

It's really comfortable.

I wonder how much it is.

My gosh.

The seat's so comfy.

Off you go, then!

Bye!

Jin-hyuk! The morning sun's up! Hurry up.

Hurry up and sit. The morning sun's up.

Did you take the bus drunk last night?

No, I took a taxi…

Ms. Cha! Okay!

You think it's dirty. I'll just pop it in.

My gosh.

What's wrong?

What's wrong with him?

Jin-hyuk!

What if this is my last day today?

Gosh, the alcohol…

I really hate alcohol.

My gosh.

Mr. Park, you made it to work

because Jin-hyuk spoon-fed you a hangover drink last night.

Do you remember?

I had too much to drink. Are you okay, Jin-hyuk?

Pardon?

Is something troubling you?

Why are you so down? You didn't make any mistakes last night.

It's nothing. I just feel a little nauseous.

Will you be okay for a meeting with the president?

Pardon?

A meeting with the president?

Didn't you tell him, Mr. Park?

It's our tradition for our president to meet with our new recruits.

I wanted to go for another round to tell him that,

but Mr. Kim refused to hear it.

Gosh, my stomach.

Yes, this is the PR department.

Yes.

Okay.

It's time for your meeting.

The meeting…

-Yes? -Ms. Cha, Mr. Kim Jin-hyuk is here.

Let him in.

Have you adapted yourself to work?

Yes.

I've managed to adapt quickly thanks to the kind help from everyone.

Do you find me that uncomfortable?

You weren't like this yesterday.

Ms. Cha, I…

About yesterday, I was…

I was too drunk. I'm sorry.

No need to be sorry.

You must be hungover.

No, I'm okay.

Try one of these. This pill should help.

You'll find yourself feeling better in no time.

Oh, no. I'm perfectly fine.

Yesterday, you gave me squid

from God knows where they caught it.

And today, I'm returning the favor with this hangover pill.

We've become quite good friends, haven't we?

Friends?

How could I possibly be your friend?

Should I open that for you? It works great.

No, let me!

That suit you're wearing.

It must be the gray one, right?

Mr. Kim, you really do look good in both suits.

Does that tie

also have a zipper?

Well, yes.

I don't know how I should apologize.

It's nothing to apologize about.

But if you still feel uncomfortable,

why not do me a favor?

Sure! Whatever you say.

Let's go eat ramyeon together.

I want to try eating ramyeon at a rest stop.

Ramyeon?

How about this weekend?

Would you like to drive

the impressive and expensive car?

The car that was really comfortable.

How did the meeting go?

I hope you didn't chicken out.

I don't know.

I don't even remember.

What happened to the guy who never cares less?

My gosh.

How will I make up for this?

Did you know?

Today marks the fourth year since I first saw you.

Really?

Do we need

to keep doing this?

What do you mean?

You know.

This.

Is this part of work?

Do I have to wear a suit, then?

-Hello. -Get in.

Okay.

In movies, people usually chew on squid

while out on a drive.

Don't you have any in your pocket today?

Even if I get fired,

I must tell you this before accepting my fate.

You sure hold your grudge for a long time!

Gosh.

Shall we go? It's on me. I'm sure they'll accept credit cards.

Okay.

Here.

Looks delicious.

Enjoy.

By the way, have you heard of the noodle challenge?

"Noodle challenge"?

Yes.

You grab a whole bunch of noodles,

and you slurp it up all in one go.

Watch me.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you fail like you did with the claw machine?

I'm a pro when it comes to this.

That looks gross.

One more time.

Let me drive on the way back.

A round-trip will be too exhausting.

No, it's fine.

No, let me.

It looks like you need to check your emails too.

Relax on our way back.

You use this button to adjust the side mirrors.

And is the seat okay?

No.

Press that button there.

I don't see any buttons.

Use this button here to lower the height.

I'm sorry to waste your weekend like this.

Thanks to you, I got some fresh air.

If there's anything else you want to try, tell me.

I'll gladly join you.

I'm a bit weird, aren't I?

Here's your president begging you to have ramyeon with her.

I actually might regret this tomorrow.

Ms. Cha.

I got thinking on our way back.

What if I worked somewhere else,

and I had absolutely

no connection to you regarding work?

Then I would've been able to entertain you freely

just like how I did in Cuba.

It was just a thought.

Does it make you uneasy that I'm your boss?

Does it feel awkward that I'm your employee?

Not really.

No, not at all.

Oh, right.

One minute.

Can I borrow your phone?

Thank you.

This is my number.

You'll feel anxious if I know your number.

But my number isn't important, so it's okay.

But...

please don't give it to those voice phishing criminals.

I don't think your girlfriend would like this very much.

Girlfriend?

I'm not seeing anyone.

But last time, you told me you were calling someone you like.

Oh, that?

That was my mother.

What? Your mother makes you smile like that?

You must be a mama's boy.

She told me to come home early and have beef for dinner.

Korean beef always makes me smile.

So you're the type who smiles because of Korean beef?

Oh, I see.

You really are cute…

I'm sorry.

It's better than saying I look old.

I'll get going, then.

Okay.

Take care on your way home.

A not-so-important number.

JUNG WOO-SEOK

SECRETARY JANG

I'm in a meeting. Is this urgent?

Did you see the article I texted you?

No, I said I'm in a meeting.

Take a look. And I'll call you right back.

Now, Soo-hyun.

Our president's name is the most-searched keyword right now.

What's going on?

PRESIDENT CHA SOO-HYUN'S SECRET DATE AT A REST STOP

What?

What is this?

PRESIDENT CHA SOO-HYUN'S SECRET DATE AT A REST STOP

PRESIDENT CHA SOO-HYUN'S SECRET DATE AT A REST STOP

It's not fun knowing this other world.

Mom, I'm not going to let you sell me off again.

Ms. Cha, get in the water now.

Are you a monster?

Why turn a kind, hard-working man into a stalker?

Do you even have to filter out her friends as her secretary?

But to drift apart is still painful.

That's why I want to stop here.
