(Episode 5)

Mr. No.

What is it?

I thought we were texting first
before calling.

Baekho Electronics turned down
the 100 percent employment buyout offer.

Are they going to sell us off?

No.

They're taking the business,
but not every single employee.

I don't think...

that's the right order of business.

- Why not?
- Reducing the labor force is...

what they'll have to deal with
once they buy us out.

It's not like we're selling fish.

Why do we have to give them
a nice and clean piece...

without the head, the tail, and the guts?

They want a nice and clean piece of fish.

I mean, 80 percent of the labor force
in Changin Business Department...

are employed permanently.

Get that 80 percent down to 40.

Wait, how am I going to cut down
half of our permanent staff...

Mr. No, there is this thing
called the Labor Law in Korea.

And that law isn't there just for a show.

Do you know how much time it takes
for us to dismiss one permanent member?

How is this...
I mean, the personnel reduction isn't...

as easy as preparing a fish.

Had that been the case,
I would've done it already.

Ms. Dang?

What are you doing here?

Well...

I was...

What about you?

I live here.

I see.

Ms. Dang? Hello?

- I'll leave you to it.
- Okay.

- By the way, will there be a layoff?
- Sorry?

Weren't you talking
about Changin Business Department?

No, what are you talking about?

Goodness.

Sweetie, hey.

- "Sweetie?"
- I'll call you later.

Okay. Goodbye. All right. Bye.

It was just a friend.

And he said it's his first time
working in Human Resources,

so he was asking me for some help.

I see.

You're one busy woman.

I guess so.

- Dad!
- Hi!

Did you forget to get
your school supplies?

Don't even get me started.

We had to go to every stationery store
in the neighborhood.

Why not? It must've been a nice stroll.
Isn't that so?

Who's that? Do you know her?

Hello.

She's my team leader.

- I see.
- She's my mother.

I see.

This is my daughter. Say hello.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Goodness, she holds
a higher office at work,

and she lives a floor higher
at the dorm too.

Good for you.

Is she more powerful than you?

Yes, of course.

No, I just hold a position
as a team leader,

but he's basically my boss.

He's helped me in various ways.
I'm learning a lot from him.

How sweet of you to say that.

Does your husband
also work at the same company?

No.

Right.

I think the woman upstairs
is also living alone.

- He must be working far away.
- Come on.

I'm actually divorced.

And you're single now?

- Get out.
- What's wrong with you?

- Don't push me.
- Go home.

- My son is also single.
- Don't be an embarrassment.

- Just know that.
- Yes, ma'am.

- Stop it. It hurts.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hey.

- Did you know?
- Know what?

Mr. Choi lives downstairs.

Who?

Mr. Choi. Choi Ban Seok.

He lives downstairs?

Na Ri, you need to stay grounded.

You're the queen
of Changin Business Department.

Ms. Dang? She's no match for you.

Do you know that I feel insulted
right now?

Why?

Do you think I wanted you
to tell her about us...

because I feel like that woman,

who's a decade my senior, is my rival?

Then?

I can see that you've been swayed by her
ever since she came here.

You're the one who should be grounded.

What?

I'm speechless.

Swayed? Me? Why?

Yes. You're always trying to meet
with her.

I caught you two together
three times already.

How could we...

How could we not run into each other
when we work at the same place?

I can't help it
if we're both in the same place.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

Let's go.

- Hey!
- Hey.

Hey, Na Ri.

Go inside first.

Okay. Let's go.

Hey!

What do you think?

He and I were in the same place,

but you would've preferred it
had I not said hi to him, right?

Do you even know
that rumors about you two reuniting...

have spread throughout the company?

Really?

It feels like I'm a mistress,
and I feel offended.

If you don't want to tell her about us,

you should start acting right.

Okay. Come in first.
Let's talk in the car.

Na Ri.

Na Ri. Hey... Na Ri!

Na Ri!

Why did Ja Young
have to transfer to our branch?

Se Gwon.

What is this for?

I heard that...

President Han and the executives
are going hiking next weekend.

That's why I prepared this for you.

I already have a backpack.

This isn't just any backpack.

It's President Han's favorite brand.

Really?

Conversations start...

with the most trivial interests.

They don't have this brand in Korea,

so he will be happy to see it.

Goodness. Is this because
of your new project proposal?

It'll be a blind evaluation,
so I won't be of any help.

Sir.

I wouldn't dare ask you
to do something so dishonest.

It's just that...

Well...

You used to work at Hanmyeong E and C.

Do you remember Yoon Soo Il?

Yes. Mr. Yoon.

He's in construction. What about him?

Are you going to propose
built-in household appliances?

Yes.

Aren't you getting too ahead of yourself?

They haven't even evaluated
the proposals just yet.

Sir.

It's me.

I'm the one...

who sold a million
of those detergent-less dishwashers.

I'm aware of that.

I'm certain that my proposal
will be accepted.

I will collaborate
with Hanmyeong E and C...

and pave the way
for built-in household appliances.

And of course,
you will take all the credit.

Please help me get in touch with him.

Please.

I didn't know
you were such an ambitious guy.

If this pans out,
I'll be working at headquarters.

You'll come with me, right?

I'll have to think about it.

Forgive me this once.

I'll behave. I promise.

Give me a kiss if you've forgiven me.

On my cheek.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

to Pureunae Nursing Home)

(Mr. No Jae Yeol)

11:40 a.m.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

How are you guys coming together?

- What?
- I'm sorry.

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

Where do we need to go?

This is driving me crazy.

Did you finish your proposal?

Are you ready?

I think so.

What's your project proposal about?

They need to submit
their project proposals this week.

They're in a rush.

What happens to those
who are disqualified?

- I'm not sure.
- What do you think?

If you don't want to be neglected
for the entire year,

you should come up with something
at all costs.

Then you must've submitted
countless proposals.

Of course.

Contamination sensor for washing machines,

external force devices
for vacuum cleaners,

internal panels for touch sensors...

I've submitted trivial proposals like so.

I submitted too many of them. I regret it.

My mom has a washing machine
with a built-in contamination sensor.

So you made that.

So what? Have I become a director...

or is leading an R and D team?

I'm stuck here.

In front of you.

Why am I here?

In this company, competent developers...

end up in HR.

Mr. Choi.

Yes?

In any case, you should do your best.

Your mother seems to be concerned
about you since you're all alone.

The executives at this business department
are very much interested...

in which proposals will get accepted.

We don't know what kinds
of questions they'll ask us. Mr. Choi?

- Yes?
- Please write up...

one development trend report per day
and upload it.

- One a day?
- Correct.

You should work hard too.

After all, you're single like me too.

Sure.

You want us to submit the proposals
as individuals, not as a team?

But we've been doing the latter
up until last year.

- Okay. Mr. Gi.
- Yes?

- Do you like soccer?
- Yes, I do.

We'll be on the same page then.

In soccer, no matter how hard
all the players play,

only one of them gets to score a goal.

It's the same with development.

Teamwork may be important,

but in the end,
it's all about your own performance.

Okay?

- Okay?
- Okay.

- Okay.
- You can do it!

- We can do it!
- We can do it.

Yes, we can.

Yes, we can.

I'm sure your proposal
will get picked first.

Congratulations beforehand.

You know how I feel, right? I love you.

Gosh, we have...

one incredible team leader.

Hey.

Does your team have any leftover items?

Give us any that you're not using.

We do have one.

What is it?

Good luck.

You little scumbag.

We're all on our own as well.

- Gosh.
- Gosh.

Ms. Jung, you seem pretty relaxed.

Right. Ms. Jung, shouldn't your team
be the most pressed for time?

You guys didn't pass the last test.

That's why our team leader, Mr. No,

went to meet with
the most competent expert in our field.

An expert? Is that legit?

Yes.

He's the legend
of writing project proposals.

Whenever he submits proposals,
his proposals get passed.

No matter how awful your idea is,
with some insight from him,

it's a guarantee
that your proposal will get passed.

- Wait. Who is it?
- Who is it?

Hey, I'm in Human Resources now.
Why would I review that?

Come on.

Since when did you have a strong sense
of belonging to your department?

I will start now.

Come on, don't be like that.
Can you just take a look?

If this proposal doesn't work out,
I might have to pack up for good.

Hey, if I review your proposal...

and it gets passed,
that's great news for you.

And if it doesn't, it's my fault?

- My gosh.
- You know?

Goodness. I don't want to get
in other people's business now.

It's your proposal. So you handle it.

- Why did you ask me that?
- My gosh. You punk.

Think about how desperate
I must be to ask for your help.

Hey, my second kid, Seung Min,
is a high school senior now.

I need this job until he goes to college.

Tell Seung Min to study hard,
and you can work hard too.

Come on. Leave already.

Okay. Then, just read it.

- And you don't have to say a thing.
- I already read it.

- Just read it. Okay?
- I read it. I already did.

- Here.
- Gosh.

- Help me out. Okay?
- Hey.

Hey!

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello.

We heard that you are the legend
of writing project proposals.

Gosh. You heard it wrong. That's not true.

That's Mr. No's proposal, right?

Can you please take a look
at our proposals too?

Please.

- Please.
- Please.

Please help us, sir.

- Just this once.
- Just this once, please.

My gosh. This is driving me crazy.

- Please review our proposals.
- Please.

Sir.

Fine. I'll just tell you...

- a few key points.
- Okay.

Gosh. Why do you need to write this down?
Goodness.

- There are three key points.
- Okay.

- Three key points.
- Three.

- The most important point is...
- The most important point.

My gosh. Mr. Choi does live
up to be a legend.

- Gosh.
- I know, right?

That's right. Everything he told us
made so much sense.

"Don't focus too much
on fancy or showy ideas."

"Use existing technology
as much as you can."

"Give up on ideas
that will take more than a year..."

"to research."

I'll give that five stars.

Which one?

"The worst proposal is the one with..."

"machine learning, big data, IoT, and AI."

"We're not working for Hwason or OQ."

"That proposal will be rejected
in the first round."

(Washing machine with deep-learning)

- He has a point.
- Yes. That's right.

Hey. Should we come up with a new project?

No wonder why his ideas got picked.

Is that the only shirt you have?

Why? Are you going to buy a shirt for me?

Gosh, that'd be too much.

Are you here to walk down memory lane?

Because you miss the old days?

I see.
Your proposal must not be going well.

Do you need a role model?

Didn't you know? You're my role model.

I see. Is that so?

When I looked at you...
How should I put it?

You motivate me.

"Gosh, I shouldn't turn out like him."

"I should work really hard."

You encourage me to work hard.

I'll go talk to you
once my idea gets picked.

You need to pick out
competent employees for me.

Take a look.
You can reminisce about your old days too.

Oh, right.

You look good in that checkered shirt.

You do.

Gosh. He's so annoying.

So annoying.

(Byung Guk)

Hey, where are you?

All right.

Okay.

All right.

Put that in.

Okay.

(Employee Evaluation Table)

Okay. From highest to lowest.

(Updated in March 2021, Overall Points)

I inserted everything.

What? 25? Are you serious? 25.

We're going to submit
a list of employees we'll terminate...

in the next meeting.

Select who you want to dismiss.

I'll sort the employees
based on their performance...

and come up with a list.

The more, the merrier. Okay, Ms. Dang?

Gosh.

What's 40 percent of 875 employees?

It's 350.

By the way,

you made a promise to me
when you transferred me here.

I really want you to keep that promise.

(Top Security, Top Quality,

Security.

Security?

Ms. Dang, aren't you going to have lunch?

I'm eating some snacks.

Today's lunch is so good.

They are serving LA ribs.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

Do you know the menu
for tomorrow's breakfast in the cafeteria?

Tomorrow's breakfast?

Why do you ask?

Never mind.

Where's Mr. Choi?

Are you dating AI or something?

Why does everything have to do with AI?

AI is trending these days.

Gosh.

- Go with that.
- What?

Get rid of AI, though.

Wouldn't that be too weak?

You should go with the second version
of the existing model.

That's the safest.

The second version?
How should I improve it, then?

It uses ultrasonic waves,
so it must be quite noisy.

Go with what you're good at.
The noise reduction chamber.

- The noise reduction chamber?
- Yes.

- Ban Seok!
- Give me a break.

You're the best.

You were so against helping me earlier.
What gives?

I don't want a certain someone's
proposal to get passed.

He's so annoying.

What?

- Yes. Ms. Dang.
- Mr. Choi.

Let's go home early today.

What?

(Sales Team, Finance Team)

Today's security inspection
will be reflected on their evaluation.

I will not make any exceptions
no matter how small the violations are.

- Thank you.
- Three years ago,

a mobile developer from UR...

copied their biggest blockchain program,

sold it off to China, and switched jobs.

You know that, right?

Yes.

The estimated monetary loss was
from that incident...

was one billion dollars.
That's an astronomical sum, isn't it?

That means the importance of security...

in electronic manufacturers
cannot be stressed enough.

We don't do mobile development.
Was that necessary?

Coming to work early is tiring, isn't it?

But I expect you
to do your job flawlessly today.

It takes a widower to know
a widow's difficulties.

You worked as a developer for a long time.

I'm sure you know where to look
to find our security's weak spots, right?

Sure.

All right. Let's get going.

Okay. Go to your designated sections.
Let's go.

Okay.

All right. You can do this.

Mr. So, this way.

- What did she eat this morning?
- Bo Ram.

- Wake up.
- Why is she so energetic?

Anyone without the combination locks...

on their drawers
violated the security code.

- Open every drawer.
- It opened.

You know that bringing in...

unregistered storage devices
means serious disciplinary action, right?

spread out everything on your desk?

What's going on?

What's wrong?

Well, the thing is,

our proposals are due tomorrow,

but I ran out of ideas,

so I wanted to cool down a little.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, I'm glad nothing bad happened.

You should be more confident.

Among the proposals I've seen,

I liked yours the best, Ms. Eo.

- Really?
- Yes.

You have a display,
so you can follow the workout.

It's a simple concept,

and our company can develop it ourselves.

I liked that idea.

But...

people have TVs and mobile devices.

Do you think they'll go out of their way
to buy this monitor just to work out?

I'm not talking about the monitor.
It's that...

Let's go.

Okay. Remember to comply
with the security code.

Keep it up.

I'm talking about motion sensors.

You know, when you stand
in front of a refrigerator at night,

the sensor turns on the light
and opens it up automatically.

You should apply that with your product.

Yes, you're right. Motion sensors.

There's no need to write it down. Just...

- Motion sensors.
- Come on.

Are you talking about something like this?

That's amazing.

So here's the thing. Let me elaborate.

There are three types of sensors.

When you make something like this,
what do you think is the most important?

Mr. Choi, you are surprisingly caring.

I thought you told me to become
the big boss of this business department.

Make up your mind.

That only applies
when you could gain something.

It's not like
you'll get anything in return...

for helping someone with their proposal.

Then why did you do that on that day?

I mean that day.

Is she more powerful than you?

Yes, of course.

No, I just hold a position
as a team leader,

but he's basically my boss.

He's helped me in various ways.
I'm learning a lot from him.

What did you have to gain
to say something you don't even mean?

What? Of course, I had something to gain.

You saw how witty, caring I am,

and you realized
how respectable I am as a superior.

Then you'll come back
and work hard on my team.

This is a win-win situation.

You have such a way with words.

Fine, let's go with that.

Let's be a team strictly on business.

Let's make a toast.

Cheers.

Let's check on our bodily fluids then.

(No leftovers!)

Right, I caught something huge.

But it's not the right time
to bring it up.

(Security Breach)

- Mr. An.
- Yes?

Have you seen my tablet?

No, I haven't.

Did you forget to have it registered?

Then maybe Human Resources took it.

What are you talking about?
I put the sticker on and...

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

What?

- What?
- What?

- What?
- What's going on?

What?

Maybe it was considered
as unregistered, right?

Isn't this a serious situation?

Yes, it's totally serious.

When they get your tablet, everything
including your photos gets taken away,

and you immediately get fired.

Goodness, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

He must have gone crazy.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

Is this the right one?

Did you count it? Is it right?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Mr. Choi?

Are you done with that?

(Human Resources)

Whoa, hey. Hi.

- You have lots of stuff here.
- Hello.

Hello.

- Oh, hey.
- Let's go.

What is it?

My tablet.

What's wrong, Mr. Han Se Gwon?

Ja Young, here's the thing.

As you know very well,
we've broken up already.

So we should have...

respect for each other's private life...

and keep each other safe, so your heart...

What are you talking about?

You need to speak more clearly.

What am I saying?

Mr. Choi, this is your tablet.

Thanks.

Is that it?

Something huge that you caught?

- Yes.
- Let me see it.

No!

No, wait. No. One second.

What are you doing?

This isn't unregistered.

Look. This fell off.

Now, it's attached.

How can you prove that?

I'll check and give it back.
Give that back to me.

No!

Not mine.

Should I call security?

Ms. Dang.

I opened the memory card
and checked the registration number.

It is our company's.

Is that true?

Yes, the Security Team just replied back.

Are you sure?

Of course.

What's in there for you to panic so much?

The proposal draft.

Mr. Choi.

What do you want?

Come here.

What's this about?

- Did you see them?
- See what?

The files inside.

You didn't look at them, did you?

You mean those photos of you kissing
Ms. Seo?

Of course, I saw them.

Why did you take so many photos?

Those were private.

I didn't say anything.

If people get wind of this,
I'll sue you for defamation.

You're so terrifying. You are.

Do as you please. Go sue me right now.

If you were going
to give me this attitude,

why didn't you just tell her about it
back there?

Had I done so,
we wouldn't be talking like this.

So you're going to threaten me?

Don't be ridiculous.
After all, I'm your role model.

I should have a card up my sleeve...

for us to see eye to eye, right?

Don't be too intimidated, though.
Straighten your shoulders.

I just don't get why
Ms. Dang even married him.

I'm going to kill him.

I will kill him.

I will.

I'm done up until here.

Good work, Ja Young. This part is done.

What?

35.

That's it?

It can't be helped.

I'll follow the manual.

- What are you doing?
- What? You startled me.

- What is it?
- Can I go home with you?

With me? Where's your car?

- My brother took it.
- Poor you.

This is going to take some time.

- Hurry up. I'm famished.
- Wait there.

Hold on.

This won't do. Hold on.

Hey, what were you up to back there?

Judging by your evil face,

you must've been working
on the layoff list.

Right?

I'm right.

- Are you done?
- No comment.

It's obvious.

Old employees who haven't gotten promoted,

young, single employees,
those who live far away...

I bet you have a list of employees
who can easily be fired.

I said, no comment.

It won't be as easy
as Jinha Business Department.

- What do you mean?
- It's obvious.

We're going
through the worst recession ever.

Everyone's struggling to make ends meet.

They're going to put up a fight.

They're desperate.

Take Mr. Choi downstairs for example.

He's still hanging in there
even after being sent to HR.

Being a contract worker like me
is much better.

This isn't good.

- Yes, it is.
- It's too salty.

You can't even cook properly.

It's not salty.

It's really good.

Let's see if he has sent a reply.

(Shin Han Soo)

Shin Han Soo. It's here.

Hello, Mr. Choi Ban Seok.

Here is my code review.

First of all, please understand...

that I use Python.

For the variable "result,"
input the initial value as zero.

Then you won't need "else" at the end.

Whenever you're setting up a variable,
it's best to set up an initial value too.

As a developer
who has delved into machine learning,

I could see that your code...

was quite fascinating.

Your knowledge of the program is flawless,

so I don't think
you need any feedback from me.

I look forward to the completion
of your anomaly detecting sensor system.

Good luck. Sincerely, Shin Han Soo.

Hey.

What?

Why is this your car?

I bought this with my own money.

- What nonsense are you spewing?
- Mr. Shin.

I'm hanging up.

Mr. Shin.

This isn't much,
but please give this to Mr. Shin...

as a thank you for reviewing my code.

Oh, for that?

You should give it to him.

I feel awkward.

And he must feel uncomfortable too.

- Really?
- Yes.

- All right.
- Okay.

You better not take any.

Here.

No, thank you.

I heard you reviewed his code.

This is a thank-you gift.
Don't hurt his feelings.

Take it.

- Sir.
- What is it?

Have you heard of Urukaka,

a mystical Tibetan tribe that resides
in the alpine regions?

Uru... What?

When the tribe members do something
that makes them feel guilty,

they become ill for three days.

I may not be a member,

but I think I'll suffer greatly
if I do take this.

Did you not review his code thoroughly?

I just reviewed the beginning.

Why?

Here. Take it.

He said thanks, but no thanks.

Why?

I think he feels uncomfortable.

Gosh, he should've just taken it.

It's not much.

Then what should I do?

I can't keep asking him for help pro bono.

You wanted to ask him for another favor?

I should.

I don't think you should.

Did he say something?

No.

What is it?

Going up.

I heard your code was
for installing MCU boards.

You need to test it out
to determine if the code works.

But since you're in HR,

you won't be able to run tests
at the research building.

There's no way to know if it works.

He didn't see the point in reviewing it.

He's the type that values efficiency.

I got in.

Yes!

Come here!

- Hey. Ms. Jung.
- Did you get in?

- That's me, right?
- It is!

Congratulations, Mr. No!

- Hey.
- I can't believe this!

I feel great. Let's go!

- Let's go!
- Right away!

Right away!

You're the best!

- Hello.
- Choi Ban Seok!

Our team got in.

That's great.

I'm glad we're friends.

- Come on. It was nothing.
- Hey.

Can HR give us some money for dinner?

Are you serious?

No? Gosh.

So what? It's on me. Let's go!

Mr. No, does this mean
we get to have beef tonight?

- Beef.
- Beef.

We'll have Korean prime beef!

Prime! Nice!

Nice!

I can't believe I call him my friend.

Mr. No Byung Guk.

He made use of his specialty...

and proposed developing a device
that reduced the noise in dishwashers.

Special note. His second child
will be attending college next year.

(Special note. His second child
will be attending college next year.)

Mr. Gi Jung Hyun.

He's determined to write up a proposal
that surpasses Mr. Han Se Gwon's.

Special note.

He had been taking a four-hour commute.

But recently, he got a loan
and bought an apartment in Changin.

Ms. Eo Hae Mi.

A dutiful daughter who wires money
every month...

to her parents in the countryside.

The breadwinner.

(Due to her small paycheck,
she strongly desires a promotion.)

As she's not financially well-off,
her desire for a promotion is strong.

Gosh. Come on.

I'm going to need something big
to handle this matter.

Excuse me.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hello.

- Ms. Eo Hae Mi, right?
- Yes.

What brings you here?

Mr. Choi.

Someone is here to see you.

Mr. Choi is here.

My manager told me that...

your idea about motion sensors...

- was good, so our proposal was picked.
- Gosh.

- Thank you.
- Gosh, no.

No. I didn't do much.

I was just adding onto
what you already had.

Right. I'm sure your proposal didn't
get picked just because of his idea.

You should take credit for that.

Your idea got picked
because your proposal was good.

Of course.

No. I mean it.

Coming up with something like that
doesn't come easily.

But he could because he has
a lot of experience and is very competent.

Goodness. You don't have to go that far.

You look happy.

Yes. I'm so happy. So what? Gosh.

Fine.

- Congratulations, everyone.
- What?

Gosh.

And I'm going to apply
for the promotion test this year.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

- The promotion test?
- The one to become a manager.

The one you took, too.

I see. The promotion test. Gosh.

That was a long time ago.

Since my proposal got picked up
with the home workout mirror,

I think I deserve to take the test too.

Of course. When you have the chance,

you should do everything you can
to make the best of your opportunities.

Okay. Work hard.

Yes. The promotion test
was coming up soon.

I forgot about that.

All right. I wish you the best.
And good luck.

- I can do it.
- Yes, you can do it.

Thank you.

I heard it from Mr. Cha.

Mr. Han's proposal
was the first one that got rejected.

- Really?
- Yes.

I got goosebumps.

Mr. Choi was spot on.

Seriously. That was amazing.

- Can we talk outside?
- Okay.

My goodness.

Darn it.

(Yoon Soo Il)

Yes, sir. This is Han Se Gwon.

- I looked over the proposal you gave me.
- Yes.

My answer is no.

I don't see any potential.

But since Mr. Bae asked me,

I'll look over one more proposal.

Do you have any other proposals?

Well...

(Home Workout Mirror for Homebodies)

Of course.

I have one.

(Smart Home, Built-in Home Workout Mirror)

I thought Product R and D Team Three
already came up with this idea.

Right.

I developed the idea a bit more.

Why would you do that?

Well, you know that next year,
5,000 apartment units...

will be built in Changin, right?

Go on.

My idea is to install...

the Home Workout Mirror
in all of those 5,000 apartment units.

That's my idea.

Built-in home appliances...

will give us the biggest market share.

If you give me your blessing,

I'll make a pitch to Hanmyeong E and C...

and get them to ask us...

to develop this.

But the built-in home appliances
for Hanmyeong E and C...

are managed exclusively by OQ.

How can you get them to pick us instead?

At Hanmyeong E and C,

one of my good friends is a key leader.

More importantly,

someone from Hanmyeong E and C
already asked me for a proposal.

- Really?
- Yes.

[Kocowa Ver]

This will be an expansion
of the existing promotion test.

I would like everyone
in the research building...

to participate in a test to evaluate
their competency in their field.

But I still need a good reason for this.

How can I get this passed?

Hanmyeong E and C verbally requested
for me to develop a sample.

And he wants me to put together
a presentation as soon as possible.

Gosh, that's amazing.

How did you get that deal so fast?

Mr. Han Seung Jin
and our president aren't on good terms.

So I didn't even expect anything.

Well, even if they don't get along,
business is business.

Good job.

Thank you.

Well, that brings me to my question.

Hello. I'm Han Se Gwon
from Product R and D Team One.

I would like to request
presentation training...

for Smart Home Built-in
Home Workout Mirror for our client.

From Han Se Gwon,

Temporary Team Leader
of Task Force Team Home Workout Mirror.

"From Han Se Gwon,"

"Temporary Team Leader
of Task Force Team Home Workout Mirror."

(Han Se Gwon)

What happened?

I just got that too.

This is absurd.

How is this possible?

It was my idea.

My gosh. I know.
I'm not arguing that it wasn't.

Then, shouldn't I present it together...

and join the team as well?

Well, as for the presentation,
Mr. Han was the one who got the deal.

So you should sit out the presentation.

And nothing has been decided yet. Okay?

So just wait.

Okay.

Why did you exclude
Ms. Eo from the presentation?

Isn't it better to exclude her
from the get-go...

instead of disappointing her later on?

So you won't even include her
in the task force?

Why are you pointing out the obvious?

Changin Business Department's fate
depends on this project.

I need the best people on this project.

The best people?

I need people with a master's degree
or a doctorate from abroad.

Or I need CTOs from UR or OQ.
They will do.

Mr. Han.

This department has a lot of
competent people, too.

Gosh. No one from this department
is competent.

People here belong to the minor league.

Do you think you're Jobs?

You think you act like this because
you got a presentation with them?

Mr. Choi, watch what you say.

I did. If I didn't,
I would have cursed you out to your face.

- What?
- Wait.

Let me sort this out.

Gosh.

- Gosh.
- Goodness.

Mr. Han.

Let me sum up what you just said.

Are you saying most of our developers...

are unfit to carry out their duties?

Yes.

I see.

They aren't competent enough...

to work on projects
that require knowledge...

on the latest technology, correct?

Yes.

Oh, I see.

And have you always thought...

this could be a serious issue?

Sorry?

Right.

I see. All right.

Okay, I understand.

Thank you for your time.

What?

Thank you for your opinion.

Right, and on the presentation training.

I'll find someone soon,
then contact you separately.

Okay.

You should go.

Okay. What?

What?

What was that?

I'm Dang Ja Young, the team leader of HR
at Changin Business Department.

I'd like to suggest the introduction
of job adequacy evaluation...

for all personnel
in the first half of 2021.

The purpose of this suggestion is...

strengthening the basic competency
of all researchers...

of Household Appliances Division,

as well as introducing and strengthening
new development technologies.

I attach a document on the process
of the job adequacy evaluation.

Please consider the implementation
in a positive light. Thank you.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

Hey, I just read your proposal.

Ms. Dang, do you have to go this far?

Then how else should I fire...

half of the permanent employees
without that much damage?

Mr. No, you know
tenacious people can be...

when we cut off their livelihood.

What will you do
after making them take this test?

I'll increase the percentage
of C-grade employees as much as possible.

Okay, I get it.

- But this blew up a little.
- Sorry?

Do you know who's reading
the proposal you submitted?

(A Proposal of Company-wide
Job Adequacy Evaluation)

This is an interesting idea.

Yes, we think so too.

Get me connected
to Changin Business Department.

Yes, sir.

We'll meet the person in charge
of smart homes early next week.

And Mr. Yoon Soo Il will be there too.

(President Han Seung Ki)

Yes, Mr. Han.

Mr. Go, I just read
the proposal on introducing...

job adequacy evaluation for everyone.

- Sorry?
- It was absolutely innovative.

I'm all for it.

I see.

Okay.

Sorry?

Of course. Yes, I understand.

Goodbye.

Mr. Han.

Yes?

Did you make a suggestion
to Human Resources?

Me?

(What is job adequacy evaluation?)

You either need to explain yourself
or make an excuse.

Say something, will you?

It's the same promotion test
that senior researchers take each year,

and it simply will apply to everyone now.

I know that, but why?
Why in the world are we doing this?

Didn't you hear what Mr. Han said?

He said the developers here are
less than adequate,

and they can't conduct proper research.

So we're doing this
because of Han Se Gwon?

I'm saying that he has a point.

This is impossible.

I knew I'd face opposition.

People won't just be in opposition.
You surely, assuredly, definitely can't.

There will be a ruckus. It'll get chaotic.

We're doing this.

Mr. Go wants to see me.

See? It's already chaotic.

(Hanmyeong Electronics)

Ms. Dang! Hey, Ms. Dang!

What are you trying to do?

Why did you put my name on the proposal?

Why do you do this to me?

Don't worry.

I'm not looking to implement this
by using your name.

You already used my name.

Why did you throw my name on it? Why?

But you did say that.

It's not like I made stuff up.

No, wait.

Mr. Go is furious right now.

You can't implement this test.

He's the boss here. How can you...

Ms. Dang.

What on earth are you here to do?

I'm asking for your affiliation.

I'm the team leader of Human Resources
at Changin Business Department.

How dare a team leader of HR
at my business department...

turn in something like this...

without the director's approval?

What's going on with Ms. Dang?

I think she did something behind his back.

What did she turn in?

I think Ms. Dang
tried to go up above his authority.

You're going to conduct a test...

and make us line up by grades?

What do you know about our researchers?

Mr. Go, I only made that proposal
for the sake of the company...

Fine, do as you like.

However,

I'm sure you were ready to face
our staff's opposition.

In that case,

let's wait and see...

if you can carry it out as you wish.

You're okay, right? Right?

- Mr. Go.
- Get back to work, everyone.

Get back.

Let's go.

(A Proposal of Company-wide
Job Adequacy Evaluation)

Why did you get yourself in trouble?

And a huge one at that.

Or do you have a connection
with the president?

If I had a connection,

why would I have been transferred here
only to get humiliated like this?

So it's a measure you took
to return to headquarters?

You can think for yourself.

How will she deal with this, really?

(On the Verge of Insanity)

Mr. Choi, help me.

What immediate benefit
can you offer me for siding with you?

I'll give you what you want.

Have you gone crazy?

I've already reported this
to headquarters.

Must we do whatever
headquarters tell us to do?

Let's just vote.

The majority of them will be against it.

Let's target the senior researchers
and the senior staff...

and win their votes.

I thought
the Task Force Team was included.

How dare you act up
in front of your senior?

Mr. Han excluded me for reasons
I couldn't understand.

Any questions?

Did headquarters send you here
on a special mission?

The reason why I came to Changin
is because...
