It has always been like that.

I always do everything I set my mind to.

EPISODE 3

The door's opening.

It's here.

The door's closing.

Wait.

Is that you, Yu-mi?

It is you.

Long time no see.

Do you work here?

The door's opening.

Aren't you getting off?

See you later.

The door's closing.

KANG JAE-HO

Hello, I'm reporter Han Ji-won
from Korea Daily.

Oh? Hey, Jae-ho.

It's me, Ji-won. Han Ji-won.

Oh, right.

-The editor of Ehyeon's magazine?
-Yes.

It's nice to see you. Sit down.

-Are you well?
-Yes.

I'm filling in for someone last minute

so I didn't know I was meeting you.

-Really?
-I better give you my name card.

So you ended up
becoming a reporter after all.

You really made it.

I still have a long way to go.

It was better when I was a developer.
Managing a business is hard.

Did you stay in the States all this time?

Yes.
Well, I had to since my business is there.

What a small world we live in.
We ended up meeting again.

You're right.

Do you still talk to everyone?

Yes, a few.

While bringing up my company,
I had to think a lot and make decisions.

Seoul is the world's
seventh largest megalopolis.

Dear people of Seoul

and party members.

What we need...

Is that you, Yu-mi?

It is you.

Long time no see.

Do you work here?

I'm young,
and my leadership is innovative.

Please support Choi Ji-hoon.

Thank you!

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN PARTY'S
FIFTH PARTY CONVENTION

Choi Ji-hoon! Choi Ji-hoon!

By the way,
when did you learn sign language?

I was so impressed
while watching the video online.

Countless people pressed like
on that video.

You two are like Jacqueline
and President Kennedy.

You're just like them.

Please don't say something like that.

It might start weird news reports.

Shall we have a drink?

Anyway, just get elected
and it'll be smooth sailing.

Of course.

Let's remember

these members!

All right, all right.

Hey! Yu-mi!

Did you win the lottery or something?

SUN-WOO FROM MARAIS

Hey, Sun-woo.

It's me. Long time no talk.

Are you well?

No, I'm not doing well.

I think Marais
will go out of business soon.

You don't know yet, do you?

Mr. Lee passed away last year
due to a stroke.

Little Director came back to Korea
last month to get a divorce.

Is she planning to stay here?

She said she'll go back, but I'm not sure.

I heard she started
a fashion business there with a celebrity.

Professor Lee.

It's almost 7:00 p.m.
Aren't you going home?

You must have a lot on your mind.

I'll head out first.

Okay.

Wow, it smells good.

Why did you come unannounced?

I could've ordered some in advance
if you did.

I suddenly remembered
that you have Wednesdays off.

This is delicious.

It's even better
since I didn't expect to eat this.

Ji-won.

Yes?

Why do you want to become
a political journalist?

I'm not sure. Well...

I kind of feel a sense of duty.

These people always talk about
beliefs and justice,

but in actuality, they get together

to rig everything and lie.

And when these people get caught,

they're never sorry.

Someone needs to teach them a lesson.
Don't you agree?

Don't pick up.

Why not?

It's probably someone
complaining about the noise.

It's late. Do it later.

Can we move?

Why all of a sudden?

I want to live where I can
open the windows all the way.

It's suffocating.

But everyone's jealous of our place
even when the windows don't open.

We're like a symbol that tells them,

they can become like us if they work hard.

People will say it's too extravagant
during the election campaign.

I met with Ji-won.

Okay.

Korea Daily?
That company doesn't seem so good.

I see.

Is there a position you can make for her?

At a political desk.

That would be no problem at all.

People won't talk bad about you
even if you get her a position.

She's smart and is a person of principles.

Okay.

But I have a condition.

You should try to get along
with the assemblymen's wives.

I can't get along with them.

Just humor them.

Fine. But please smoke outside.

Hello?

Are you Korea Daily's Han Ji-won?

Yes, this is she.

I'm calling from Bokuk Daily's HR team.

I can go near Korea Daily's office
in about two hours.

Shall we meet for a moment?

I can, but what is this about?

To offer you a position.

Pardon?

She was trying to fix it by herself...

Hyun-joo might seem old enough...

Yes.

But she knows nothing about the world.

Do you know how much debt
that hospital has?

It's crazy.

Yes.

We'll just give them the money as soon as
the building sells to finish it off.

It'll really ruin her at this rate.

Yes. Right now?

I came to feed Hyun-joo's dog,
and now I'm on my way to the lawyer.

What's your job?

I'm sorry, Sir.

I messaged you to ask you
to come down after ten minutes.

You messaged me?

Did you say you messaged me?

I left home early,

but there was an accident
on Inner Ring Expressway.

The exits are few and far between there.
I'm so sorry.

It's basic to be on time.

Also, look at the car.

I got a car wash yesterday,

but it rained overnight.

I couldn't look after it today.

I'm so sorry.

You never tried preparing in advance,
have you?

Today was an exception.

I'll get things right next time, sir.

Why always next time?

Do you know what's common
among people like you?

You're lazy,

impatient,

and full of excuses.

Honey!

Mr. Kim, wake up.

How will you make a living like this?

Please stop.

Stop!

Step aside.

Keep your mouth shut.

Gosh, it's hot.

Do you feel wronged?

After all, you did send a text.

What could be the problem?

Hey.

I'm sorry, Sir.

This won't ever happen again.

It was nice having you.

Sir.

Sir, I'll fix my mistake.

Sir.

Sir.

Ta-da.

What is this?

You mentioned you used to like
the Crazy Donut in front of our school.

Oh.

I was reminded of you,

so I went there in a hurry
just before going to the airport.

Are you proud of me?

Yes. Thank you.

It didn't even cross my mind.

Ms. Lee, I heard you're a professor now.

Congratulations.

Lee Yu-mi.

I think you owe me an explanation.

TO LEE ANNA

The name Lee Anna is suspicious.

Also, the Alumni Association?

Hey.

I called the number here
because I was curious about Lee Anna,

and they told me right away.

I had my reasons.

I don't want to know.

There's no reason that can make it okay

for someone like you
to teach at a university.

I mean, do people buy this?

Seriously?

I didn't do it intentionally.

Professor Lee.

If doing things unintentionally
makes it okay,

why do you think we have laws?

This is fraud.

What should we do?

Well?

Lee Anna.

What should we do now?

I'll stop.

Please give me some time.

How is it so easy for you?

How can it become like it never happened?

You stole someone else's life,

so you must pay for it.

Don't you think so?

Nice.

You have overwhelming support
from the young and the established,

while your wife is especially popular

among the marginalized groups.

I'm lucky.

It's true she's playing an important role.

So what you do want to do?

What do you think about having her
run a school?

The chairman of Dongsung University
is regretting

after buying the school.

The professors don't listen

and the students are always complaining
and stirring up noise.

He says it's a headache.

Or perhaps

a scholarship foundation geared towards
public interest might be good.

It doesn't cost much,

and it's quite effective.

A scholarship foundation?

It would be much better than

having her stand at a subway station
with your campaign jacket on.

-It's different.
-Yes, it's different.

By next month,

bring me three billion won.

What is it?
Do you prefer criminal punishment?

You didn't think
it would be so expensive, right?

That's how it is with degrees.
They're expensive.

You should demand what's possible.

I don't have anything.

That's not my problem.

That's your problem.

It's your problem for stealing my life.

Don't reflect on yourself in front of
a judge who has nothing to do with me.

Pay me back with money instead.

Does your husband know this about you?

You're really something.

Hey. You should keep on using the stairs.

Hey, newbie.

I'll show you
what a real welcome looks like.

Get up.

Did you just laugh?

Aren't you going to get up?

That's enough.

No, no.

Call me "honey" just once.

Then I'll let things pass.

"Honey".

She got up. She got up.

What is this?

What's with the face?

Don't reflect on yourself in front of
a judge who has nothing to do with me.

Pay me back with money instead.

Understand?

What is it at this hour?

I think Mr. Choi...

Yes?

...fell asleep in the parking lot.

This is the police.

Good evening. I want to report someone
for drinking and driving.

-What?
-I forgot my bag inside.

-Your bag?
-It's right here.

Darn it, where did that come from?

Hey, wait for me.

Let them be.

If you stop them,
you'll have to see them home.

Goodnight!

I didn't get hired through
open recruitment either.

So I can't promise to help you.

Just hang in there.

I'm off.

Okay. Bye.

Nag all you want, I won't budge.

Why did the police come
in the middle of the night?

It was nothing much.

Why would they come here
if it's nothing much?

I'm going to establish

a scholarship foundation
under your name soon.

What?

You'll be the chairperson.

Do I have to do it?

What's with the reaction?

It's uncomfortable to be someone

the media talks about.

We wear nice clothes and drive a nice car
for other people to see.

This country is harsh
to those who are weak

and generous to those who are established.

The election isn't something simple.

Even the way we breathe has meaning
and we can get evaluated on it.

Okay?

Didn't I tell you?

My assistant will join me
to and from work starting today.

-Mr. Jung?
-No, my secretary.

You're here.

Wait a minute.

Hello, Professor Lee.

My name is Cho Yu-mi.

I look forward to working for you.

Hello.

Ms. Cho Yu-mi...

Get up.

Hey. What are you going to do?

What is this? Explain it to me.

Who told you to use this building
as collateral?

What is it? It's too early for this.

Hyun-joo, get up. Get up.

Hyun-joo,

what did you do?

Yes.

"Yes"?

I'll die before my time because of you.

You...

You're out of your mind!

How could you blow off this building?

What's wrong with you?

I'll take care of it.

Take care of what?

I'll just pay back the three billion won.

It's nothing.

What?

I said I'll take care of it.

Please stop it!

You only know how to spend money.
You've never earned a cent in your life.

How can you take care of anything?

Tell me!

I'm sorry,
it's because it's my first time.

Yes, it's your first time.
Just press this.

Okay?

I'm leaving.
Don't forget the gathering this evening.

From now on, Yu-mi will remind you.

Hello, Professor Lee.
My name is Cho Yu-mi.

Even the way we breathe has meaning
and we can get evaluated on it.

You didn't think
it would be so expensive, right?

That's how it is with degrees.
They're expensive.

Hey.

What brought you here?

Our company is planning a small exhibition
and the person who was on the project

ended up giving birth
earlier than she thought.

We need some help.

I see.

Joseon literati paintings.
It's your specialty.

Do you want to take over?

Why don't you do it yourself?

It's too small for me to do.

The people who own these works
want to sell the paintings,

but you know these kinds of works
don't increase in prices.

The exhibition will be held
so we can promote the pieces.

I don't know.

There's no pressure
since it's not about making money.

There's enough time to prepare it too.

What is it? Is it too lame?

I used to take jobs
like this at first too.

No, it's not that...

Can't you help me out this once?

How much

will they pay me?

Come on, you know this won't pay much.

It's not like you're looking for money.

Please do it for me.

Democratic Republican Party's Choi Ji-hoon

is making prominent progress,

but as factions of
the 51 newly-elected members

out of the 117
in the National Assembly are unclear,

it's hard to predict the result.

Currently,
the Democratic Republican Party...

Mr. Jung.

What should we do with Min Jun-won?

Don't mind him.

Should I dig about his son?

Is that necessary?

We need something on him
since he's bothering us.

Okay.

Professor Lee.

Professor Lee.

I have something to ask you.

My kid is getting a surgery tomorrow.

I wonder if I could have tomorrow
and the day after off.

It's nothing serious,

but my kid is still in middle school,
so...

Why is...

everyone doing this to me?

You can't do this all of a sudden.

Don't you know that the campaign team
is having a meal here tomorrow?

Why are you so selfish?

Please don't worry about that.

I already prepared everything,

and someone else will come instead.

Someone I don't know is coming?

No, no. It's not a stranger.

It's Yang Soo-jin.

She came several times before
whenever we had big events.

You know, the tall girl with short hair.

You'll recognize her when you see her.

I see.

Now that I think about it,
it might inconvenience you.

I'm sorry,

please don't mind me. It's okay.

How can I act like nothing happened?

Why are you making me
look like a bad person?

Are you going to cancel the surgery?

No, it's not like that...

Why do I have to

humor you too?

Why do I have to pay attention
to such things?

It's fine.

Just take two days off.

I'm sorry, Professor Lee.

I asked you too last minute.

It can't be helped in your situation.

Sorry I'm a little sensitive today.

We'll eat out tomorrow.

What is it?

I came to get you for the dinner.

From now on, call me from downstairs.

Yes, Ma'am.

She usually never yells.

It's because I made a mistake today.

Ms. Cho. You must be someone honest.

No, I'm just someone ordinary.

Isn't it hard working for Ji-hoon?

Not at all.

I know this job
doesn't allow any time off.

But it's a precious opportunity for me,

so I want to do my best
and get recognized.

Also, he's very nice to me.

See?

Everyone lies.

No, I'm telling you the truth.

Ma'am, he's asking you to wait 20 minutes.

Why?

He says you should come in
after everyone arrives.

I'll go in and check first.

I don't think he's here yet.

What?

I checked
with the restaurant manager twice.

What a joke.

It'd be ridiculous to wait here.

Let's circle around.

Yes, Ma'am.

Hey, Mom.

Can I skip this meeting?

I think he's crazy.
That stupid doctor isn't here yet.

Let's go in. Everyone's here.

It's not like everything always goes
the way you want.

No, of course not.

It's the will of the people
and the will of the party.

But if the will

keeps on changing,

the people will get confused.

Things change by the day.

I don't know what to tell you.

It's okay.

You were elected four times
and you'll act as my pacemaker,

so I'm happy.

You say it's urgent,
so could you tell me what it's about?

Here.

-Please have a drink.
-Okay.

Sir.

Thank you.

It's been so long since we drank.

LEE ANNA

LEE ANNA, PROFESSOR

YALE UNIVERSITY,
MASTER OF EAST ASIAN STUDIES

Jae-ho.

Why didn't you call me in advance?
Do you want some coffee?

No, it's okay.
I stopped by on my way to the airport.

-Are you going to the US?
-Yes.

By the way, you changed companies.

Right.

"Bokuk"?

Isn't it the biggest one in Korea?

Yes.

I didn't make the cut
when I took the entrance exam before,

but I'll work hard from now.

The elections are soon, so it's hectic.

Good for you. I think you'll do well.

Thank you.

By the way,

I don't think you would have came here
just to see me.

Is this

Lee Yu-mi?

Yes.

I didn't want things to be awkward,
so I never brought her up.

I'm not going to live in Korea anyway,

so it doesn't matter what she does.

But I thought I should tell you
why I broke up with her.

Jae-ho, let bygones be bygones.

It's not that, Ji-won.

Lee Yu-mi

didn't go to your school.

What?

I have no idea how she graduated
from NYU and Yale

to become a professor,

but she was a fake university student
when we were dating.

She was preparing for her SATs
a third time.
