The Queen of Office

Ms. Kim Jeomsun,

you're not the only one who has job duties and responsibilities.

I have to do my job, too.

And my job is to protect the company's interests.

That may seem stupid and base to you,

but that's what I have to do, as you put it,

as a corporate lap dog.

Ma'am, one more soju, please.

Why didn't you pay for yours?

How can you just walk off?

I'm on my way over.

Where is it again?

Okay.

- Mr. Jang, aren't you coming?
- I have something to do.

He said he had something to do.

Little baby,

you have to keep yourself hidden for a month, okay?

Yup. Lay low and keep quiet.

Have you chosen a name for your baby yet?

Oh, we were going to name her Misuk after Ms. Kim.

I told you not to name her that.

So we asked Mr. Ko, and he agreed he would come up with a name.

Mr. Ko?

Are you good at picking names?

I don't know,

but I did come up with the names

for all three of my daughters.

Ko Deuri, Ko Mija...

Mr. Ko,

it's not my job to clean up your organic debris.

Please put it back in.

What's everyone doing?

Why were you all touching Ms. Park's stomach?

Is something

in there?

No, of course not.

Ms. Park is constipated, so we were massaging her.

Constipated?

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

Constipated.

I see.

That makes sense.

Ms. Kim.

Mr. Ko!

Mr. Ko, are you okay?

I had the most terrifying nightmare ever.

It's been 16 years since the Asian financial crisis.

Korea now has 8 million contract workers.

South Koreans' foremost dream is no longer national reunification.

It's getting a permanent position.

While everyone else yearns for a permanent position,

there is someone who has consciously opted to be a contract worker.

Ms. Kim is Korea's first ever contract worker by choice.

Ms. Kim never works for free.

She doesn't forge cumbersome interpersonal ties.

After her three month contract period,
she always leaves Korea.

But no one knows how she's come to call herself "Ms. Kim"

and chosen to be a serial contract worker.

Mr. Gu,

is the spicy noodles proposal I mentioned yesterday ready?

Yes. I've organized all the reference materials,

set up a development plan, and analyzed its commercial viability.

Wow, this...

is very good.

You've come a long way.

It's all thanks to you, sir.

You're so modest.

No...

Don't tell me you have a nosebleed.

I keep telling you to take it easy.

I can't do that, sir.
I still have a long way to go.

I'll work even harder, sir.

You two are undoubtedly the future of Y.Jang.

Drink these and lets work even harder.

We'll do that.

Good.

Performance assessment season?

Think of it as something like a school report card.

The people on a given team evaluate one another's performances

and give each other a grade of A, B, C, D, or E.

It affects their pay scale, promotions and bonus,

so no wonder they go all out.

When this time of the year comes around,

everyone suddenly becomes a model employee.

I can see why Mr. Gu or Mr. Shin might be concerned,

but it's odd that Mr. Jang is on his toes as well.

The supervisors evaluate their staff,

but the staffers also evaluate their supervisors.

Mr. Jang is on this best behavior temporarily

to make up for all his nagging and slave driving.

It's cutthroat.

I know.
I hope my sweetie does well.

Good grief.

Good morning.

Vitamins energize you.

Here you go.

Vitamins.

Your mother shouldn't have.

You need to be healthy for our team to be healthy, sir.

Drink up, sir.

This isn't meant to influence me in any way, is it?

Influence you?
Of course not. Please enjoy.

It's quite something.

We should've gotten him medicinal tonic as well.

Let's go with this for the meeting then.

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

Hi, honey.

Yes.

Really?

Not even a single company?

But we need to move on that day.

Okay. Okay.
I'll make some calls, too.

Mr. Hwang, is something going on at home?

Yeah.

You see, we're moving this weekend.

You're moving? Where to?

A bit further south.

You know my daughter goes to an arts high school.

She has better access to private tutors in the area we're moving to.

You're doing the right thing, sir.

So what's the problem?

Everyone's moving this weekend,
since the days are auspicious.

My wife says the moving companies have all been booked solid,

but we really need to move this weekend...

Mr. Hwang.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Don't you know my favorite pastime is helping people move?

But still, it's the weekend.

I'm not one of those pushy bosses.

Pushy bosses?

Mr. Hwang, we're family.

It's my duty to help my family move.

Yeah. Huh?

They're all booked already?

Oh, no.

Okay.

I'll try to figure something out.

Bye.

Mr. Ko, is something the matter?

Oh, well...

We have to move this weekend,

but all moving companies are booked,
as the days are considered auspicious.

You're moving?

Shall I come and help you move?

- You?
- Yes.

But it's the weekend.
You should be going on dates.

I'll consider it a date with you.

Are you sure?

Mr. Hwang is moving this weekend,
so don't make any plans.

This is an important time.
Everyone's coming, right?

Of course.

We have to make time,
even if we don't have any.

Talk about a golden opportunity right before performance assessment.

Of course we'll be there.

I don't think I can make it.

What? Why not?

Mr. Ko is moving, too.
I told him I'd go and help.

Yeah?

Why do they have to move on the same day?

It's okay. You go to Mr. Hwang's.

I'll go and help Mr. Ko.

What about you?

Where will you be going?

Pardon?

Needless to say,
I'll be going to Mr. Ko's.

Really?

Are you sure?

Pardon?

Your order, sir.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Will you be okay?

Huh? What do you mean?

I feel bad for Mr. Ko,

but the performance assessment is right around the corner.

You'll get in Mr. Hwang's bad books if you don't show up to help him.

No way. Mr. Hwang?
Over something like that?

What are you talking about?

This is a very important time.

You should drop by at Mr. Hwang's once you're done at Mr. Ko's.

We'll see.

Hey, Gyeongu,

are you really going to Mr. Ko's and not Mr. Hwang's?

Of course. Mr. Ko is the eldest member of our team.

Good grief.

It's not that simple.

Pardon?

But why...

It's performance assessment season.

The least you can do is show allegiance to the Gap faction.

The Gap faction?

Yup, the Gap faction.

The golden Hwang Gapdeuk faction that got Jang Gyujik to where he is.

Why do you think I put up with Jang?

Because being close to Jang is my ticket into the Gap faction.

We're not saying you have to do the same thing.

Yeah. Just do what you're comfortable with.

You do have to stay with the right people.

It's your call.

Dear Ms. Kim.

You may speak, sir.

And as I've been telling you time and time again,

It's Ms. Kim, not dear Ms. Kim.

Got it, dear Ms. Kim.

Could you

take a look at this?

I've taken a look at it, Mr. Ko.

You see,

the company's making me take English lessons.

I go every evening,

and they keep giving me these assignments to do.

My grade on this course will be part of my performance assessment.

Okay,

so what is it that you want to ask me, Mr. Ko?

I heard you speak Russian.

That means English is probably a piece of cake for you, right?

Couldn't you do this for me?

It's only two pages.

No, I can't.

Mr. Ko,

can't you see I'm working right now?

I do see that, but...

Please take care of your own personal matters.

It's time for me to sort the recyclable trash. Excuse me.

Mr. Ko, would you like me to do that for you?

Really?

Where do I start?

Thanks, Juri.

Right here.

My Japanese is good,
but English is so hard for me.

Um, Ms. Kim?

You may speak, Mr. Mu.

You get frustrated with Mr. Ko, don't you?

Yes.

Being in his presence is not particularly pleasant.

Right.

But it's because Mr. Ko is older and slower than us,

so I ask that you be more accommodating.

What exactly do you mean, Mr. Mu?

Well, if you need an example,

it's like what happened just now.

If you turn him down flat in front of his juniors,

he could lose face.

And the nose incident this morning was shocking, too.

Mr. Mu,

I don't come to work to save face for people.

I cannot stand anyone getting in the way of my work.

Are you throwing that out?
Please give it to me.

Hey, Kim,

why didn't you pay your tab last night?

You were trying to act cool,
so I figured you'd want to pay.

What? Trying to act cool?

When did I say I'd buy?

You're always supposed to pay for what you eat.

You're a self reliant individual.

How petty.

Here you go.
$3 for the soju.

What about the udon noodles?
You ordered udon, too.

Here's $10.
I need change.

Here.

Wait.

I think I gave you $1 more.

I need $1 back.

Jeonghan!

Hi.

- Heading home?
- Yup.

Why isn't your chauffeur here?

He has something to do today.
I'm going to take a taxi home.

Say, by any chance, is Mr. Jang...

I mean, Gyujik,

seeing someone or interested in someone?

Huh?

I'm not sure.
I don't really know.

You don't?

Why do you ask?

Oh, just...

Do you still have feelings for Gyujik?

Oh, no.
I was just curious.

What about you?
Aren't you seeing anyone?

Me? No way.

I'm busy enough with work.

Aren't you interested in anyone?

Am I interested in anyone?

I'm not sure.

So there is someone.

No, no.
There's no one.

Okay.

Mr. Ko,

are you heading home?

Yes, Mr. Hwang.
You, too?

Hey.

It's been ages.
How about the two of us have a drink?

Welcome.

Hello.

We'd like

one pancake and one bottle of rice wine.

Yes.

This place hasn't changed one bit.

I didn't think it'd still be here.

I stop by every now and again when it rains or when I feel like rice wine.

The pancakes taste just like they used to.

Really?

Wow.

This place sure bring back some old memories.

I heard you're moving this weekend.

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

I heard you're moving, too.

Jeongdo.

When we're alone, let's just address each other like we used to.

Shall we?

- Gapdeuk.
- Yeah?

So why are you moving all of a sudden?

When you got that place,
you said you'd stay there

for the rest of your life.

My youngest started college this year,

and my second daughter hasn't graduated yet.

To boot, my eldest is getting married in the fall.

It's turning out to be a costly year for us,

so we sold the house and we're moving into a rental.

But your youngest is in medical school, right?

You've done a fine job raising all three daughters.

I'm having a hard time with just one kid.

Time sure flies.

Hey, you and I made our fair share of ladies cry

on our business trips before we got married.

We did.

Once, you were seeing two girls at the same time,

and the one from Jinju came all the way to the office and cried her eyes out.

She did.

Hey, do you remember

when we went to the Soybean Paste Village to develop a new product

and almost died in the cave where they stored fermented soybeans?

Of course.

We both suffered from an awful rash for a whole month.

Yeah.

And everyone avoided us because we reeked of fermented soybeans.

Yup.

Thanks, Gapdeuk, for inviting me out to have a drink like this.

Mr. Hwang, did you want to see me?

Yes, Mr. Mu.

Sir?

What is it regarding?

You know our sales kept dropping last year,

and things aren't looking good around here, right?

Yes.

After the upcoming performance assessments,

there will be staff cuts in every department.

Pardon? Staff cuts?

Our department, too?

Yup.

There was talk of layoffs when we first set up the support team,

and Mr. Ko was on the list of candidates.

Pardon?

Mr. Ko?

I only found out recently myself.

Mr. Hwang, please reconsider.

Mr. Ko can still...

There's nothing I can do at this point.

There will soon be an announcement about personnel changes.

Give Mr. Ko a heads up.

What? Dismissal?

As tough as things may be,

how can they just fire him like this?

You don't say.

I feel like it's my fault,
so this is really hard for me.

Hey, how is it your fault?

It feels like

I may not be competent enough as head of the team,

which is why Mr. Ko's getting dismissed.

Pull yourself together.

We can't let Mr. Ko go like this.

We have to do whatever it takes to keep him here.

What can we do?

There's still some time left before the announcement.

We need to find something that will boost Mr. Ko's performance rating.

Mr. Ko said he wanted nothing more than to keep his job

until his youngest daughter graduates from college.

And as head of the team,
I want to make that happen for him.

Don't worry.
We can help him.

Sir, why did you convene a meeting out of the blue?

We have an emergency.

There's word that Chasung will be launching a new line

of high end products targeting the top 1% of consumers.

Top 1%?

We're already working on something similar.

We're running out of time.

I want Marketing and Development to each come up with

a top 1% plan to be submitted to the president within a week.

We have to submit a plan, too?

How can we suddenly create something like that in a week?

Suddenly?

That's for you to figure out.

Don't you know how the president gets when he's upset?

Marketing & Sales in particular will have to do a good job.

The president's not happy with the falling sales figures.

Yes.

We'll do whatever it takes

to submit a plan.

If you're unable to meet the deadline,

it will greatly affect your performance assessment.

You'll need to step it up a notch, Mr. Hwang.

I look forward to whatever it is that you'll put together in a week.

Who knows?

It might be your department that has to step it up a notch.

It's not over till it's over, right?

Of course,

your performance assessment will tell us what we need to know.

We'll find out in a week in the president's office, right?

We'll talk then.

A proposal for a new product within just a week?

Yup.

We have to do whatever it takes to beat them with this.

We must find a better item than Development does

and absolutely crush them.

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

How can they suddenly tell us to create a new product proposal?

And in just a week?

We have to do it.

Our performance assessments are all riding on this.

Development's going with a high-end soy sauce,

so what should we go with?

We should definitely avoid soy sauce.

I wonder what we can find that people won't mind paying a lot of money for.

I know the priciest salt in Korea.

It's called jayeom.

Huh? Jayeom?

What's that, Mr. Ko?

It's traditional Korean salt

made from sun dried mudflat sand

that's been filtered through seawater and boiled in a traditional iron pot.

It takes a lot of time and effort to make,

and deservingly, it tastes infinitely better than regular salt.

How do you know so much about it?

I tried to develop a high end product when I first started out in sales,

and jayeom is what I had stumbled upon in my research.

Apparently, it's rich in minerals and very healthy.

But I left that out of the proposal because the very notion

of healthy eating didn't exist then.

Of course.

The guy who developed jayeom,
do you know what his nickname is?

What is it?

Stubborn Mule.

Stubborn Mule?

Good grief.

This is it.
Ongjayeom.

We develop a proposal for it and submit it under Mr. Ko's name.

That will keep Mr. Ko from being dismissed, right?

I'm sure of it,

since it affects the performance rating of our whole department.

If Mr. Ko is given credit for this,
he should be able to keep his job.

Great. Let's do this then.

Nothing.

Nothing?

No.

There's nothing on the internet about Ongjayeom.

Really?

It's definitely a registered product,
but there's no information online...

We need some information if we're to get this rolling.

- I know.
- Hey there.

I found something on Ongjayeom.

You did?

[Clippings
Ko Jeongdo]

[Traditional salt made with the wisdom of our ancestors, Ongjayeom]

The address is at the bottom of the article.

Judging from the president's character,

I bet his company's still at the same address,

still making salt in the traditional way.

Wow. Look at this.

You had clipped these and kept all of them?

That's how we did things back then.
we didn't have computers.

We had no choice but to cut, paste and file.

Here it is.

It's not far from Seoul,
so let's go and see him tomorrow.

You're coming with us, right?

Me?
You're coming with us, right?

Me?

I don't think I can make it tomorrow.

Why not? Do you have plans?

My wife and I will meet my daughter's fiancé's parents for the first time.

You can't miss that.
Gyujik and I can go.

Great. Have a safe trip.

The area is famous for crab stew, so try it.

And if you bring some back, that's even better.

[Ongjayeom Rough Proposal]

This is good.

We definitely have a shot with an item like this.

Get to work on it right away.

Yes.

Mr. Jang and I will go and see President Ong tomorrow.

Good.

Ms. Kim's coming with you, right?

This is an important trip.

Ms. Kim,

can you accompany them?

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

If we can get there and back during work hours, it's possible.

What is this?

Why are they only eating yours?

Are you also a certified seagull trainer or something?

I don't have a certification like that.

So why?

I'm not sure.

Maybe seagulls are good judges of character.

What?

Mr. Jang, where are you going?

I'm going to the head.

Although we're on a business trip,

it's nice to see the ocean, isn't it, Ms. Kim?

I'm glad it's nice for you, Mr. Mu.

I hope things work out with this Ongjayeom deal.

No. It has to work out.

For one thing, it's Mr. Ko's idea,
which we haven't seen much of.

Also, Mr. Ko has to stay on at Y.Jang, so...

Mr. Mu,

would you please cut to the chase?

Yes. What I want to say is,

I ask you for your ever brilliant assistance today.

Mr. Mu.

Yes?

May I borrow a fistful?

Pardon?

Oh! Of course.

You can have two fistfuls.

No, sir. One fistful will do.

Nice.

Man, it's salty.

Mr. Jang, I think it's too early to go and see President Ong now.

Why don't we sit somewhere and wait...

We're pressed for time as it is.

We need half a day at least to explain the deal and have him sign.

It's all about timing.

Let's hurry over and get the show on the road.

Let's go.

Scat!

You little thieves!

Pardon?

But, sir,

you haven't given us a chance to explain...

Who do you think you are,

barging into my place at the crack of dawn?

Name: Ong Ajip (78)
President of Jayeom company
Nickname: Antique

Sir, I think there's a misunderstanding.

We're from a food company called Y.Jang in Seoul.

Shut up!

I know you're here to steal from me.

Sir, I don't know what we did to offend you,

but we're not bad people.

We're just here to talk to you.

If you set even one foot in my house,

something terrible will befall you.

We're sorry.
We're so sorry.

But if you just give us a moment to tell you...

Scat! Scat! Scat!

- But sir...
- Sir.

Get out of here!

I don't believe what just happened.

He shooed us away before we got to explain why we came.

And he doused us with water.

This will be much harder than we had anticipated.

That man

has provoked the king of sales.

I will do whatever it takes to overpower his stubbornness before the day's end.

So don't worry, Mr. Mu.

Okay.

Hey, Kim,

where's your sense of loyalty?
I see you avoided getting wet.

Just because I accompanied you

doesn't mean I must be doused with water as well.

Just blame yourself and your slow reflexes.

We can't go back empty handed.

Excuse me.

Enjoy the tea.

I apologize on my father's behalf for what happened this morning.

I'm sorry.

- Oh, no.
- There's no need.

We didn't know that President Ong had a son.

Since we're here,
why don't we explain...

I don't have any say in my father's business decisions.

There's no point in explaining anything to me.

I see.

We really need to see your father and talk to him, though.

Is there any way to do that?

It's highly unlikely he'll agree to see you.

Many company representatives have come by before,

but they've all been turned away like you.

He hasn't doused anyone with water in a while, so that took us aback.

Is there a reason why your father so adamantly refuses to see us?

He had an awful experience working with a large company.

Oh, really?

What kind of experience?

My father signed a deal hoping to get more people to eat good salt,

but my father's name was all that company was after.

They used my father's name to see low-quality salt.

That really hurt him.

For better or for worse, that company went bankrupt not long afterwards.

So that's why...

I'm sure you can understand why he's so unwelcoming.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I felt the baby kicking.

How many months?

Eight months.

I don't imagine there's an obstetrician here.

We have to take the ferry out for her to get to an obstetrician,

so we're going to have her

stay with her parents soon.

Was that the baby burping?

It didn't sound like a noise a baby would make.

Hey, Kim,

why is your stomach making noises like that?

Oh, it's lunchtime.

I'll take that.

We're so sorry to inconvenience you.

It's no inconvenience.

She must have been so hungry for her stomach to growl like that.

We're just adding a few bowls of rice to our usual fare,

so just go and sit down.

My father in law won't be back from the salt pan until late afternoon.

Thank you.

So this is the taste of nature.

It's nothing much, but please enjoy.

Why aren't you eating with us?

Don't worry about it.
We're going to eat later.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

What a treat.

Jayeom really is in a league of its own.

What is going on here?

Dad, dad.

How many times have I told you not to let strangers into our house?

You not only let these thieves in,

but you're given them food.
What's the matter with you?

Sir, sir, I swear we're not bad people.

We just want you to look at what we've brought.

Sir, let me explain who we are.

I don't care!

Get out of my house! Out!

Please, dad.
Please put the broom down.

You dirty thieves!

I know you're here to betray and exploit me.

I won't let conniving little corporate critters fool me twice.

Honey!

What's wrong?

I don't know.
My stomach...

Excuse me, ma'am.
Allow me to feel your stomach.

There are signs of premature delivery.

The baby will come any minute now.

What are you talking about?

The due date's two months away.

Please, dad.

Are you okay?
Honey, honey.

There's no time.

Her water has already broken.

She might end up delivering in just half an hour.

What? Half an hour?

That soon?

Listen, lads.
Please call 911.

Yes, sir.

- Hurry up and call 911.
- 911.

This baby will be the head of the 37th generation of the Ong family.

Hang in there, okay?

What did they say?

They have no access to a helicopter.
It'll take them an hour by boat.

Honey, please hang in there.

We need to hurry.

Things can get dangerous for the mother and baby if we don't hurry.

Hurry up and prepare for delivery.

What are you talking about, Kim?

There's no doctor here.
How can we prepare for delivery?

I'll help her deliver.

What?

But Ms. Kim...

Who are you to help her deliver?

Who on earth are you?

I am...

Ms. Kim, a certified midwife.

What?

Midwife?

[Midwife Certification
Name: Kim Jeomsun]

Ma'am, please help her.

There's no time.

You all have to do exactly as I tell you.

Mr. Ong, please lay out clean bedding in the master bedroom.

Sir, please get me clean towels and sterilized scissors.

Mr. Mu, please get me hot water.

- Hurry!
- Yes, ma'am.

Hurry! Hurry!

And Cabbage Patch Head, you will help me move her to the bedroom.

Right now!

[Ms. Kim: Midwife]

Hon, hang in there.

Ma'am.

What am I going to do?

Hon, our baby and I will both be okay, right?

Of course.
Everything will be fine.

You can do this.

Ma'am.

Okay, Mrs. Ong.
Look into my eyes.

Good.

It's painful and strenuous, isn't it?
But it will all just pass by.

Good.

- Just a bit more. Just a bit more.
- A bit more.

Follow my lead.

Take it slow and easy.

You're doing great.

You're doing a great job.

The baby's almost here.
Just a bit more. Just a bit more.

Almost there.

Just three more pushes, and you'll get to meet your baby.

- Okay. One.
- One.

I don't believe this.

She's in there actually helping deliver a baby?

It's quite something.

I really hope the baby is born with no trouble.

I'm so scared.

Oh? The baby!

The baby's here!

She's a beautiful baby girl.
She takes after her mother.

Congratulations.

I almost lost a precious grandchild.

The mother pulled through despite the difficult circumstances.

Good job.

What's your name?

I go by Ms. Kim, sir.

Mi Seukim?
Thank you, Seukim.

Say...

When's the next ferry out?

That was the last ferry of the day.

You can catch the next one tomorrow morning.

This is not cool.

We couldn't close the deal,
she delivered a baby,

and there's no ferry out.

What are we going to do?

Where can we stay until tomorrow morning?

I don't think they even have bed and breakfasts here.

Oh, Ms. Kim!

What's she doing now?

What do you think you're doing, ma'am?

This thing is broken.

Why are you trying to get on this, Ms. Kim?

It's past 6:00.
I have to get home.

What's wrong with you?

He says it's broken.
How will you cross the sea?

I can do it.

Please step aside.
It's dangerous.

I can do this.

Please, ma'am.

I want to go home!

Excuse me.

How can I trust you based on nothing but this piece of paper?

I'll come and see you at your office.

Really? You will?

I'm not saying I'll sign the deal.

I'll just come to Seoul

to see for my self what your company is about.

Of course, sir.

We won't ask for anything more.

Listen...

I'm not doing it for you.

It's my way of thanking Mi Seukim for delivering the eldest member

of the 37th generation of the Ong family.

Thank you, sir.

I heard the last ferry left.

You missed the ferry because you were helping deliver my grandchild,

so stay at our house for the night.

Really?

Thank you.

President Ong Ajip will come to Seoul to review the deal.

Really, sir?

Yes.

Get to work drafting the contract.

I think Development has already gotten their deal signed.

We have to hurry to meet the deadline,

so get to work.

We'll review the details when Mr. Jang and Mr. Mu return in the evening...

No, no.

They missed the last ferry,
so they're spending the night there.

You guys get started without them.

Yes, sir.

Don't make any mistakes.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Bitna, could you go over this?

Oh, yes.

Why did you suddenly ask me out for a drink?

You're not a big drinker.

I just feel like having a few drinks tonight.

But if

Mr. Jang and Mr. Mu are spending the night there

because they missed the last ferry,

Ms. Kim will sleep there, too, right?

I guess so. The three of them went there together after all.

You don't think they'd be sleeping in the same room, do you?

No way. How can they share a room?

In TV dramas,

it always happens that there's only one room.

That's just in TV dramas.

Right?

I'm sorry. This is the only spare room we have.

We would've let you use our room as well, but my wife and the baby...

No, no.
We're most grateful.

We're just going to sit here for a few hours anyway.

I brought you something more comfortable to change into.

You're so thoughtful.
Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Should we

play a game?

Yeah, shall we?

Sounds good.

Ms. Kim,

are you sleeping?

Yes. I'm going to sleep.

I need to sleep if I'm going to work tomorrow.

You're really going to sleep?

In this tiny room?

Especially when there are two men here?

Yes. I'm going to sleep.

Furthermore,

did you say

men? Where are they?

Fine. Let's all go to sleep then...

Why not?

Hey, you and I should sleep, too.

However,

no one is to leave their respective zones.

If you cross this line

or make physical contact with me,

you will both

suffer dire consequences.

She go laid off.

She was traumatized by that experience.

There are so many star, aren't there?

Yes.

It's been a long day for you as well, hasn't it?

I guess so.

I saw you sleeping and it seemed like you were really exhausted.

I'm sorry.

Did you try it on?

You know, the gift I gave you.
The skirt...

I was wondering if you tried it on.

How was it?

Well, it was fine.

Really?

Were you happy with the color and the design?

Yes, it was okay.

Oh,

I'm so relieved.

I couldn't decide between that one and another one.

The other one had lace and I kept going back and forth

between the lacy one and the one I got for you,

but my guy instinct was right.

It doesn't fit.

Pardon?

The thing is,

the skirt was the wrong size, Mr. Mu.

Oh, really?

That can't be.
It had to have been your size.

Mr. Mu,

not many women are a size zero.

But the lady there asked me what your size was,

so I said your waist was about this big around.

Oh...

It was my first time buying women's clothing.

So please refrain from going to unnecessary trouble

on my behalf from now on.

Oh, Ms. Kim! Ms. Kim!

Ms. Kim, look!

A shooting star.
It's a shooting star.

Your wish. Your wish.
You have to make a wish.

I'm fine, Mr. Mu.

Hurry up, before we see another one.

Have you made your wish?

You need to tell Mr. Ko.

That's your job and duty right now.

This proposal has to get through,
so you all put 120% into this.

Why do you drive like a maniac?

Then you can be in charge of the traditional market, Mr. Ko.

All Mr. Ko does is sit at his desk and read the newspaper,

but he gets paid four times what we get.

Four times?

Don't you know how to show respect to elders and seniors?

A permanent position shouldn't be a lifetime employment guarantee.

No worker should be paid if he doesn't do anything.

Mr. Ko is our senior.

What's that go to do with me, a contract worker?
