THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

CHILDREN WERE FILMED SAFELY
GEN AI WAS USED FOR SOME SCENES

Well, I think I'm going to resign
from SAEUM.

What?

I'm going to resign.

Why would you think about resigning?

It's cold.

Let's go talk inside.

[gentle music playing]

Warm up your hands first.

I guess my hunch was right.

You suddenly taking a day off,

and saying all of those weird things.

I always seem to get caught by you.

Yeah, but still,

I didn't think
you'd actually consider resigning.

You were going to be the first person
I told once I'd sorted out my thoughts.

If working together is the issue,

I can just transfer
to the Development Team.

You should stay where you are
doing the work you want to do.

But what about you?

I…

I don't have that anymore.

Why not?

I've come this far determined to prove
myself through my work, not politics.

But at this rate,
even if I get to the next level,

I'll still end up doing things
I don't want to do.

And that's not what I really want.

You know, even at another company,
it won't be any different.

I know.

That's why I'm not saying
I'll just move to another job.

I would like to hit pause for a moment.

I want to remember
why I started this work,

where my destination is,

and what I would truly want to do
from now on.

[sighs]

I don't know.

As your girlfriend,

I want to support the decision
that you're making.

But as your colleague,
I want to talk you out of it.

But it feels like a waste

to throw away everything you've built
over the years,

and everything that would've followed.

None of that matters to me.

I just want to be with you
without all this stress,

doing the work I actually want to do.

[sighs]

Thank you, sir.

No, I should be thanking you.

Buying all this beef
for this old geezer's birthday.

[both chuckle]

I wish you a happy birthday, sir.

[chuckles]

You must've been surprised
to hear he's suddenly leaving the company.

[chuckles] Yes.

To be honest,
I'm still feeling quite overwhelmed, sir.

You know, when Si-woo makes a decision,

it's only after he's tried
absolutely everything he could.

Yes, I know that.

But that's what's so upsetting.

Why does he always

try to go through hard times
all by himself like that?

I can see why Si-woo fell for you.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Have you two enjoyed
talking behind my back?

-[parent chuckles]
-Yes.

I said I was really worried you wouldn't
be as charming outside the office.

That sounds like a threat.

Must be nice

having someone
to pull you back. [exclaims]

Yes, it's nice.

[gentle music playing]

[chuckles]

Why do you look so lost in thought?

Well, I'm just wondering how involved
I'm allowed to be in your life, you know?

You can be involved in all of it.

Okay.

When are you going to resign?

What company will you work for?

Or are you starting a business?

You're not going overseas, are you?

Should I put together a slide deck
and report to you?

Hey, I'm being serious right now.

I'll submit my resignation soon,

and then I'll take my time
figuring out the rest.

[sighs]

So you really don't have a plan at all.

[chuckles]

Is this not the right way?

Ji-yoon, could you check the GPS for me?

Uh, sure.

I think you took a wrong turn
at that fork earlier.

We're going to have to take
quite the detour.

Ah. I couldn't tell in the dark.

I guess you don't know
everything after all.

I knew it.

I'll just have to coach you
from the passenger seat.

Well, I'm in your hands now.

I can't say I'm completely on board yet,

but I want us to figure it out together.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

Thank you for everything.

[sighs] You know, I wonder if the company
will let you walk away that easily.

[sighs]

EPISODE 12

NO MAP TO FOLLOW,
STILL CLOCKING IN!

What did you just say now?

I'm handing in my notice.

Si-woo.

I wanted to tell you directly

before officially submitting
my resignation.

Wait,

is this because
Ms. Cha's promotion fell through?

I am displeased
with our evaluation system,

and disappointed by our conservative
attitude toward new ideas.

But despite all of that,

I've come to the conclusion that
I'm simply not fit for this organization.

Thus my decision.

That's why we should change
the organization together.

You can't just change it, President Han.

Your position won't allow it.

And neither will mine, ma'am.

Think it over again.

Losing you would be a massive loss
for me and the company.

[inhales deeply]

I will tender my resignation.

You can't!

Just wait.

[sighs]

Everything discussed in this room today
is strictly confidential.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes.

Manager Kang Si-woo wishes to resign.

-[HR lead] But Mr. Kang is…
-[U-jin] Yes.

He's a key asset
specially managed by the company.

Apologies, ma'am.

We missed his flight risk signals.

You seem quite surprised, Mr. Noh,

to learn that the man
you've been desperate to drag down

is actually a key asset.

It must be a lot to process.

I will try to convince him
with a better compensation package

or a new role.

That won't work with him.

Just make sure
to keep an eye out for his resignation,

and once it comes through,
hold the approval.

In the meantime,
I'd like you, Mr. Noh, to speak to him.

Me?

You are his supervising executive
after all.

Yeah.

If you go down as the executive
who let a key asset slip away,

I doubt you'll score well
on your next performance review.

-[sighs]
-[U-jin] Keep Kang Si-woo

in the company at all costs.

Because I will hold you
personally accountable for the outcome.

Answer me.

Yes, ma'am.

So what are you planning to do now?

We improve his work environment first.

Forget waiting
for Ko's disciplinary decision.

Have him removed immediately.

Yes.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[breathing heavily]

I bet you're thrilled now that
you won't be running into me for a while.

"For a while."

-It'll be longer than that.
-What?

You really think I'll be gone for good?

Just wait.

When I get back, you're the first one
I'm pushing out of this company. Geez.

All right. I look forward to it.

[scoffing, clicks tongue]

Y-You've been an insufferable prick
from day one, you know that?

My entire life went downhill
the moment I met you.

[breathing heavily]

And you know I would've been different
if I hadn't had you as a boss.

What?

It seems like you don't have much luck
with bosses either.

[scoffing]

You take this one.

I'll wait and catch the next one.

-[huffs] Hey, no, are you really…
-[electronic voice] Doors closing.

An accountant?

What does he look like?

It's just… [chuckles]

Ji-yoon cares more
about a guy's looks than his job.

Oh, really?

In that case,
I'll go ahead and ask her about it.

All right.

[lighthearted music playing]

Why are you suddenly acting so strange?

Isn't this the kind of thing you wanted?

So sour.

Just leave Ji-yoon alone.

I don't like hearing her nagging either.

But people won't stop pestering me
because she works at SAEUM.

What about that regular?

I told you to set them up.
What's the holdup?

[groans] Set them up? Come on.

They'll meet if it's meant to be.

The company is too big
for them to meet by chance.

What, is he not that great of a guy?

Oh, why are you putting words in my mouth?

Do you really think I'd have a drink
with someone who wasn't that great?

That's exactly my point.

Who would want to hang out
with a boring guy like you, huh?

-Hey.
-What's his position?

Does he live alone? Are his parents alive?

Look at you,
giving me that silent treatment.

If you don't want to get involved,
just give me his number.

Mmm. [grunts]

Hey, that's my phone.

What's yours is still mine.

[groans]

Where are you going?

Hey, we need to go see that lawyer.

I won't.

[chuckles]

Great job, everyone,
on the Home-AI launch.

The Sales and Marketing Team will take
over the remaining workload from here.

So what are we going to work on next?

As of today, this team…

[imitates drumroll]

…will be disbanding.

-What?
-All of a sudden?

[sighs]

I'll do my best
to ensure everyone transfers

to the department of their choice.

Mr. Kang.

In that case, I'd like to head back
to Product Planning Team 1.

Sure.

Let me know
once you two make up your minds.

But I was thinking of our next project.

You can do that
with your respective teams.

What can I do there?

They'll just tell me
to stick to the established ways.

I can't work the way I do now
under any other boss.

Look, what if we came up
with a new project idea?

We'll pull all-nighters if we have to

and find something
the higher-ups can't resist.

Can't you just stay on
as our boss, Mr. Kang?

[sighs]

You three are the driving force
behind Home-AI's success.

No matter your boss or the team you're on,

work with your heads held high.

You have completely earned that right.

-[sighs]
-[phone buzzes]

Here. Use this.
Grab a nice lunch together.

What about you, sir?

Something urgent came up.

I'll join next time.

[sighs]

What's going on here?

The task force was always temporary.

It's normal we're getting dissolved
now that the project is over.

And Mr. Kang? What is he going to do now?

Oh, is he taking Mr. Ko's position?

And that's why
you're transferring there, right?

Oh, no. Mr. Kang
won't be going anywhere for a while.

What's that supposed to mean?

-He says nothing is decided yet.
-[phone buzzes]

Oh. You guys go get some lunch.

Hey, Ji-yoon…

[sighs]

[sighs]

[sighs]

Mom,

this is so rude to the other person.

I told you I don't want to…

So…

Is he my blind date, Mother?

[Hye-gyeong] He seems like a great guy.

He works at SAEUM too,

so you can see each other
even when you're busy.

Mom, let me call you back.

Was this your urgent matter?

Did your mother ask you to come here too?

Oh… I see. You came here
to meet with my mom, right?

And yet you didn't say
a single word to me?

I wasn't sure
what she wanted to talk about.

Still, you should've given me a heads-up.

I had no idea what was going…

[gasps, sighs]

Wait, was this lunch
meant to be a blind date?

[chuckles]

Oh… So you came to a blind date
behind my back?

I didn't. I only came
to politely turn the guy down.

[scoffs]

[chuckles]

You know, my mom must've
really taken a liking to you.

Wow, what a relief. [sighs]

But what do we do now?

Guess we should tell her the truth
before she catches us.

Yeah.

[breathes deeply]

Oh, hello.

How can I help you?

Uh, so is Jae-in in here by any chance?

Oh, he just stepped out.

Oh. [sighs]

You're No-ah, right?

Wait, you know who I am?

Of course. Jae-in doesn't stop bragging
about his girlfriend. [chuckles]

He'll be back soon.

Seung-jun, I forgot my…

Why are you here?

Because I don't want to lose you.

I know how selfish I'm being right now.

I don't want to break up with you,
and I still want to go to Senegal.

But I really don't want
to give up on either one.

[sighs]

I grew up moving constantly
because of my dad's job.

People envied me,
but I never had real friends.

Every time I made one, we moved.

I came to Korea because
I wanted to live here when I turned 20,

even if it meant being all alone.

Now, I finally have people
I can call friends,

and there's so much I want to do here.

So right now…

I'm unable to follow you.

And I can't handle long distance either.

[sighs] I don't know if I can either.

The thing is…

I can't bear the thought
of ever losing you.

Sorry.

[inhales shakily]

I don't think I can do this.

[exhales shakily] Actually…

I'm the one who's sorry.

[sighs]

[scoffs] What happened to being miserable
when you don't see her?

I feel that way.

That's why I'm doing this.

I don't know the details,

but look, the dumbest thing you can do

is force an end to something
that isn't over yet.

I know how it'll end.

Hey, you're getting cocky, kid.

How would you know
if you haven't even gone there yet, huh?

[sighs]

[chuckles] Do you like it?

Mmm, yes, I do, of course,
but gosh. [inhales sharply]

I don't know how many times a year
I'd wear a coat this expensive.

Just wear it all the time.

Wear it when you see your friends,

or when you go out on dates with Dad.

Why would I go on dates with your dad?

I see him at home all day. [scoffs]

It seems like
he's trying really hard, though.

Are you still set
on graduating from marriage?

Years of resentment
aren't erased that easily. [scoffs]

Let's see if he keeps this up.

I get it.

But it sounds like there's still
a glimmer of hope, right?

Why aren't you saying anything?

I thought you'd throw a fit,
but you got me clothes and a meal.

Do you actually like the guy?

Mmm. [chuckles]

I like him very much.

Really? I knew it!

Because he totally won me over too!

So, did you start dating?

Actually,

we were already seeing each other.

Manager Kang Si-woo
is my team lead at work.

Hmm?

At first, I liked him as a coworker,

then I liked him as a man, and…

and now… now I'm in love with him.

You mean you're already a couple?

Mmm.

I can't believe it!

Oh, I had no idea.

And here I was, trying to play matchmaker.

Wait, hold on,
so did your father not know either?

He actually caught us together
a little while ago,

but he probably
couldn't bring himself to tell you.

Why not?

Why couldn't he tell me
about two of his favorite people dating?

Because…

he's been through a divorce.

What?

You would've had to cross
that bridge eventually.

Just trust Ji-yoon and wait.

Are you rooting for me?

Why would I be rooting for you?

I'm rooting for my daughter.

[chuckles]

I'll say it again and again,

I'm on my wife's side, no matter what.

That's just how it is.

It's all right. Someone's on my side too.

That's my daughter!

[chuckles]

If she disapproves, what will you do?

I'll have to wait

until Mother finally warms up to me.

[smacks lips] Wait, hold on.

How come you call her "Mother"
and I'm just "Mister"?

[chuckles] All right,
then please help me out,

Father.

As if I stand a chance against my wife.

You can't just storm out like that
without hearing me out first!

I already said no.
What more is there to hear?

Why not?

You were thinking
about ending your marriage too, Mom.

You of all people should understand him.

Yes, I'm dying to end my marriage!

Because I've been holding it in
all these years.

All married couples have felt
like splitting up at one point.

But they stick it out
and try to make it work.

But he…

he got a divorce in less than a year?

How can you trust someone
who gives up that easily?

Sticking it out and making it work
is something you do together.

But Mr. Kang…
He never even got the chance to do that.

Then he shouldn't have gotten married
in the first place!

Oh, Mom.

Call me shallow if you want,
but I can't help it.

Thing is, I want my daughter
to walk on a paved road.

I don't want her tripping
over rocks in life.

So I don't approve.

[gentle music playing]

[sighs]

We knew this would happen.

I know, but I didn't think
she'd be so strongly against it.

I understand her.

It's only natural
she thinks I'm not good enough.

[sighs] Yeah. She just cares about me.

[sighs] It's okay, though.

No matter what my mom says,
I'm still going to keep seeing you.

So don't let it get to you either.

We're both in this for marriage after all.

So even if it takes time,
we need to get her blessing.

Yeah, but how?

Why don't you do things your way,
and I'll do them my way?

One step at a time.

-[courier] Are you Ms. Nam Hye-gyeong?
-Yes, that's me.

[courier] Delivery for you.

PREMIUM 6-YEAR
KOREAN RED GINSENG

Um… [sighs] Red ginseng?

But who sent this?

-Uh, it was sent anonymously, ma'am.
-Oh. [chuckles]

Thank you so much.

[sighs]

[Si-woo] What are you doing here
so early in the morning?

Well, what else? I'm here to work out.

Let's do it together.
You're our key asset.

Do you play any golf?

I don't like golf.

That won't do.

You should start now
if you want to become an executive.

I have a private coach,
so maybe we could take lessons toge…

Wait.

Whoa!

That won't be happening, sir.
Please, just get to the point.

Are you serious about leaving the company?

Yes.

I have a rough idea
of why you're doing this,

but you should think of President Han.
She thinks the world of you.

It's a little ridiculous
hearing you worry about President Han.

-[sighs]
-Don't worry.

I'm sure she'll be perfectly fine
without me.

Hey, Kang Si-woo.

[groans] Really?

[clears throat] Uh… [chuckles]

Since the team lead position is vacant,

I'll temporarily be stepping in
as the acting team lead. [chuckles]

Um, so you can all just keep doing
what you've been doing, all right?

[workers] Yes, sir.

-[applause]
-Oh, please.

Ah, Ms. No-ah, if you could hand over
your duties to Ms. Cha before you leave.

Sure.

Also, a new hire is starting today.

Can someone mentor him, please?

[chuckles]

Uh, anyone at all?

Oh. Here he comes.

[dreamy music playing]

Hello, everyone.

I'm the new hire, Song Min-gyu.

Uh, I will, sir.

[chuckles]

Thank you, sir.

Even Ms. Na-ri returned to her old team.

But have you still not decided yet?

Uh, well, um…

I was planning to decide
after seeing where you go first.

Are you planning to follow me?

Yeah. [chuckles]

I intend to resign.

Oh. [chuckles]

What?

So don't wait for me
and make your own decision.

But why?

Well, I just want to look for work
that suits me better.

I hope you'll take
this chance to do the same.

But working under you
is what really suits me best.

And the Development Team?

You enjoy development work
more than the actual planning stage.

Yeah, that's true,
but going to Development now is a bit…

The response to your washer-dryer
has been great.

So everyone will understand
if you choose to make the move.

Yeah. [chuckles]

I'll transfer there, then.

So I'll go ahead
and speak to their team lead.

In return,

please keep my resignation
a secret for the time being.

Man, it's a real shame. [sighs]

Though I'm sure you'll end up
somewhere better.

Yeah.

I'll be sure to end up somewhere better.

-[Ji-yoon chuckling] Exactly.
-[Min-gyu chuckles]

Oh, Mr. Kang!

This is our new hire.

This is Manager Kang Si-woo.

Oh… Nice to meet you, sir.
My name is Song Min-gyu.

Okay.

[Kee-tae] I think you came
to the wrong place.

You don't look like you work
in electronics. [chuckling]

Ah…

Many people tell me
I look like a movie star.

-O-Oh, confident. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]

Min-gyu, what would you like to drink?

-Do you like instant coffee?
-Oh.

If your mentor offers you coffee,
you should say no.

Uh, just a moment.

"Say no to instant coffee."

CHECKLIST
NO TO INSTANT COFFEE

Understood, sir.

And say no if she tries to lure you out
for chicken and beer.

Oh.

"Say no to fried chicken and beer."

-[scoffing]
-[Si-woo] And for the record,

Ms. Cha Ji-yoon already has a boyfriend.

"She has a boyfr…"

[chuckles]

Oh. [chuckles]

I'll keep that in mind.

You're very lucky

for landing a great mentor
from the beginning.

Indeed.

[doorbell rings]

[Hye-gyeong chuckles]

What is it this time?

It says health supplements.

Thank you.

Oh, gosh.

RECIPIENT: MS. NAM HYE-GYEONG

[sighs]

[somber music playing]

[sighs]

[No-ah] Look, if you don't respect me,
then I won't respect you either.

[Jae-in] Mmm.

[No-ah] In a relationship,
I'm still going to put myself first.

[Jae-in] Mmm.

If your love fades away…

I will leave without forgiving you.

[Jae-in] Mmm.

[No-ah] That's how I'll love you.

I hope you'll do the same for me.

[Jae-in] Mmm.

It's the first time

I'm recognized purely
for my own hard work.

Even if I do end up with you,

I want to be
a better version of myself first.

But before being Lee Jae-in's girlfriend,

I wanna be Yoon No-ah first.

I don't know if I can either.

The thing is… I can't bear the thought
of ever losing you.

No-ah.

Kim Goo-won? What are you doing here?

I can't take it anymore.
Let's get back together.

What the hell are you doing?

I heard that you're still going out
with that kid.

Snap out of it, Yoon Noah.
Why are you ruining yourself over me?

You fought with your girlfriend?

[sighs] I'm going to end things
with her soon.

You haven't changed a bit.

You piece of trash.

Look at yourself.
Do you realize how much you've changed?

You're not the Yoon No-ah I used to know.

Yeah, I've changed a lot!

I've become more selfish
and more courageous than ever.

So please,
just get the hell out of my life.

No-ah, you know that you need me.

[sighs] Let go.

I said let go!

Stop!

She told you to let go.

You need to get lost.

And you better stop
following No-ah around.

I'm not following her around. I love her.

[Goo-won scoffs] You love her?

What do you even know
about No-ah to call it love?

I certainly know her better than you.

I know what an amazing person she is.

Kim Goo-won, listen carefully.

Jae-in is the man that I love.

So don't ever show your face again.

I'll call the police if you do.

Just don't come running back to me later,
crying and begging.

[sighs]

Listen, Jae-in.

I can't promise that
I'll wait for you until you get back.

Are you still okay with that?

[chuckles]

If either of us finds it too hard,
we end it right then and there.

Is that okay?

Mmm.

But I know that I can handle it.

I told you before.

Love's not about holding back
or forcing things.

I won't hold back.

I'll video call you every day,
I'll write you letters,

and fly back at least twice a year.

I'll meet you halfway
in some random country

if that's what it takes.

We should see each other more
before you leave.

Mmm.

[giggles]

What are you doing here?

Hello, Mother.

I'd prefer if you didn't call me that.

I asked what are you doing here?

Well, whenever I need to clear my head,
I come here and help out Mr. Cha.

I'm confused.

Doesn't one typically send
flowers or fruit baskets

when trying to win someone over?

You think I'm some fragile old lady?
Sending me all that bitter stuff.

I don't want the people
I care about to get sick.

Then, do you give
my Ji-yoon gifts like that too?

[chuckles] Yes.

Men are all the same.
You don't get what women actually want.

So, how long
were you going to send me those?

Until you called me and told me to stop.

I didn't want to show up
and make you uneasy,

so I just waited.

The ship might sail while you wait.

Anyway, try fixing this. It won't turn on.

Sure.

That back looks so familiar.

What do you like about my Ji-yoon, huh?

[clicks]

I really admire her confidence
and her strong sense of responsibility.

She makes discoveries
others don't even consider.

And once she sets a goal,

she gives it her all
until she's satisfied.

And Ji-yoon, unlike myself,

she knows how to open up
and share her feelings.

I'm learning a lot from her.

You could go on all night, couldn't you?

I could talk all night
about the reasons I fell in love with her.

[chuckles]

-All fixed.
-Already?

If it was this simple,
why couldn't my husband fix it?

Oh my, what's this?

I got the feeling you liked flowers.

[chuckles]

Mr. Kang, I…

Mom.

So you've been meeting here
behind my back?

No, this… this isn't what it looks like.
I just ran into Ji-Yoon.

I got some bungeoppang. Your favorite.

Now, why would you do that?

He beat you with the kindness.

Right.

A major corporation
beats a tiny corner store.

Working at SAEUM is the one thing
I like about you.

Well, about that…

I'm planning to resign from SAEUM.

[stammers] Well, you know, I'm sure
he was headhunted by a better company.

[chuckles] Right?

I intend to take a break

while I figure out my next steps in life.

[Hye-gyeong] You're walking away
from the one thing I like about you?

[groans] Forget it.

A divorce is one thing, but unemployed?

-No way.
-Mom.

-Mom, come on.
-Oh, gosh. Hang on.

-[sighs]
-Mom!

Hey. Why'd you bring that up
when things were going so well?

She'd be angrier if she found out later.

Good grief, you really are frustrating.

I thought long and hard
about how to convince you,

but it boiled down to one thing.

I like…

that man…

very much.

First he gave up on his marriage,
now his career.

How can I trust or like him?

But I trust him.

He's the only one
who lets me be myself completely, Mom.

So I know that he'll find a job
that lets him be himself too.

Even his personality
is just like your dad's.

There isn't a single thing
I like about him.

I guess in the end I do take after you.

You don't take after me.

You're far smarter than me
and more upstanding than me.

You've always been my pride and joy.

I'm sorry, Mom.

[sighs]

I guess we've overcome one hurdle.

And how did you reach that conclusion?

She said, "A divorce is one thing."

So that means
she's softened up a little bit.

She also called me a bum.

Oh, come on.
You'll get that sorted out soon enough.

It might take quite a while, though.

Hmm. Guess I'll have to be
the breadwinner, then.

Tomorrow will be my last day at work.

-Tomorrow?
-Yes.

I'll submit my resignation
and use my paid leave.

[sighs] So your final day
has actually arrived.

Ji-yoon, you'll root for me
as a colleague now, right?

It's a shame, but yes.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION
NAME: KANG SI-WOO

[Ji-yoon] But it feels like a waste

to throw away everything you've built
over the years,

and everything that would've followed.

Think it over again.

I can't work the way I do now
under any other boss.

Can't you just stay on
as our boss, Mr. Kang?

CONFIRM SUBMISSION
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEND THE FORM?

CONFIRM

SENT

[knocks]

I take it Mr. Noh didn't exactly deliver.

But you already knew that he couldn't.

Well, if I can't keep you here,
I'll leave them with a massive liability.

Which is why you put my status
as a key asset on the table.

Yes.

It's not too late to change your mind.

Thank you.

But I won't be able to give you
the support you expect from me.

[sighs]

But here…

What's this?

You'll find it helpful.

[Hyeon-u] Here's what you asked me about.

Your hunch was spot on.

Turns out the subcontractors
were treating Mr. Noh and Mr. Ko

to rounds of golf to sell their products.

And it's true,
those two have been bragging

about taking over the Home-AI project.

Here's all their expense reports.

[Si-woo sighs]

Thank you.

It seems like the Vice President
is involved too.

You sure this is okay?

Mmm.

Right now,
it's just the subcontractors' word,

so you'll need to verify the facts.

I'll leave it up to you
to decide how you want to play this.

So you're leaving me a bomb
as a parting gift?

There's no changing your mind
at this point, is there?

No.

I wouldn't have made it here without you.

[soft pop music playing]

You got here on your own merit.

I look forward to seeing
Kang Si-woo's next chapter.

Thank you, ma'am.

This is your noncompete agreement.

It stipulates that you cannot work
in the same industry

for one year post termination.

Okay.

I haven't even approved
the resignation yet,

so what do you think you're doing?

-President Han has approved it.
-What?

Her instructions were
to skip the exit interview

and wrap this up quickly.

[Noh sighs]

SIGNATORY: KANG SI-WOO

Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you. I will be signing off now.

TASK FORCE MANAGER
KANG SI-WOO

[rapid footsteps approaching]

Mr. Kang!

Ms. Cha is in the product showroom
right now, and… [pants]

Mr. Kang!

Huh? Why are you here so early?

Whoa, he's super fast!

Hey, you should've brought him
right on time, you dummy.

I know, but…

I was literally trying to say Ms. Cha
was waiting in the product showroom,

but he just bolted off
before I could even finish!

Did you think she was in
some kind of trouble, Mr. Kang? [giggles]

Either way, I've never seen
Kang Si-woo run so fast.

[laughing]

What are you all gathered here for?

They're tearing down this setup soon.

That's why Mr. Kim suggested
we run one final test.

A test?

You should at least do a final check

to make sure our launched products
don't have any issues before you leave.

-[bell dings]
-Ready. All right…

[door opens]

-[Kee-tae] That's right.
-[staff cheering]

This was the exact moment
you were supposed to bring him in

so that we can…

-[party cracker pops]
-[cheering]

-Congratulations on your resignation!
-Congratulations on resigning!

Congratulations.

At least let us throw you
a farewell party.

[Na-ri] How could you, Mr. Kang?

I was the last to find out again.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Kang,
did you just apologize with a smile?

Then "No sorries" no longer applies,
neither does "No smiles."

And look, there are "people" all around.

You're officially no longer Three-No-Man.

Right.

Now that I'm leaving, I can finally

appreciate the reasons
why I should have stayed.

Only today did I learn
what makes work truly worthwhile.

You all were my reason,
and made it worthwhile.

Thank you all

for everything.

Well, now, now, now.

-Ta-da!
-[Kee-tae] Wow!

It's not a farewell party
unless there's a toast.

[chuckles] Let me pour you a drink.

You're Kang Si-woo after all.
You'll do great anywhere.

Thank you so much.

[chuckles] Here.

But man, the office is going to feel
so empty once you leave too, No-ah.

[chuckles]
I'll be back before you know it.

Of course.

[chuckles]

[Mr. Kim] Yeah, just a little for me. Yes.

[chuckles]

[Mr. Kim] All right,
everyone has a drink, right?

Now, Sr. Associate Kee-tae,
can you give us a killer toast?

[Kee-tae] Right, uh… [sighs]

Mr. Kang Si-woo,
I hope that wherever you go,

you spread your notorious reputation
far and wide.

[chuckles] And now,
everybody, let's cheers!

Cheers, guys!

[all] Cheers!

[upbeat music playing]

NO SCHEDULED EVENTS TODAY

I'm sorry, ma'am.

[sighs] So you're saying
you sent out that half-baked report

and actually cc'd the managing director,
too, on the email?

I thought I had to send it to everyone.

[sighs]

I'm pretty sure that I sent you
a detailed guide on email etiquette.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I haven't fully memorized it yet.

Drink this.

They say chamomile helps
when you're tense and nervous.

Thank you, ma'am.

I accidentally dropped a zero
from every number once

in a simulation of profit and loss.

So that means $100 became 10.

Wow, it sounds like you got an earful.

What was it he said?

"Making one mistake is more than enough."

Repeated mistakes are not mistakes.

It shows their lack of competence.

I'm disappointed in you, Ms. Cha.

[sighs]

Just hearing you gives me the chills.

But still,

I genuinely learned so much
from him, you know?

He also taught me
what it means to be a colleague.

If you say that I am,

it must be true.

He also taught me…

how to put my own well-being first.

I warned you about junk food.

The coffee and sugary drinks!

He told me, "Forget sacrifice bunts,

and become a hero instead of that."

[exhales deeply]

And he taught me how to

fight back against any unfair treatment.

[Si-woo] Besides,

that word carries more weight
the more sparingly you say it.

Please don't say that
when you're around me.

Especially at work.

Well, he actually taught me…

everything that I need to know.

[gentle music playing]

[sniffles]

Wait, why are you suddenly…

[crying]

[sobbing]

-[sobbing continues]
-[Min-gyu clears throat]

[Min-gyu clears throat]

-[keypad beeping]
-[door opens]

[footsteps approaching]

Hey there.

Come and have some tea.

So did you have a good day today?

Yep.

Like you said, I did absolutely nothing
and spent the day being useless.

Hmm… Very well done.

Ta-da.

What are they for?

It's your graduation gift from SAEUM.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Mr. Kang, you were
the best boss I ever had.

Thank you.

In that case, shall we graduate
from you calling me "Mr. Kang"?

What?

Well, I'm not your boss anymore.

Right.

Then…

Si-woo.

Mmm, Ji-yoon.

Put your mug down for a second.

Why?

You're going to spill it otherwise.

[love ballad playing]

[classical-jazz music playing]

[Yeong-mook] Do you remember

we ate out here on our very first date.

I do.

I brought a fancy bottle of wine,
and you just ordered sausages.

Come on, who could've guessed
you'd bring wine back in those days?

A drink back then always meant soju.

You dragged out fixing that radio
for days just to flirt with me,

using an apology
as an excuse to ask me out.

I was expecting a romantic evening.

Still,

wine and sausage went
surprisingly well together, didn't they?

[sighs]

And I thought Ji-yoon and that guy
would be a good match too.

Let the kids figure out their own lives.

As for us…

it's time we focused on our future.

We can just graduate from marriage.

If that's what you really want,

then let's do it.

Then marry me again.

When your time comes to leave this world…

I don't want you to be all alone.

I'll try to make up for everything

I didn't do for you in the past.

Let me be with you… [sighs]

…when you take your last breath.

Are you

using my deathbed as a pick-up line?

Pick-up line? [chuckles]

[sniffles]

Hye-gyeong.

Nothing else matters.

I just want to

outlive you by one day.

-What are you doing, Yeong-mook?
-[laughing]

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, will you?

[chuckles]

Why did you come alone?
You said you were coming with your sister.

Yeah, that was the plan,
but she went to see her boyfriend.

Oh.

If she has a boyfriend,
of course she should go see him.

Of course.

Boyfriend over family, I guess.

[scoffs]

Are you done with your interviews?

I can let you use this space
whenever you need.

Oh, I haven't decided on my next project.

What kind of story do you want to tell?

Well, this time…

I wanna move away from pure office love

and instead write a story

about people who give their all
to both work and love.

Drama is exploding at the workplace,

and their love lives are a complete mess,

so they suffer
and throw fits all the time,

but they still… clock in tomorrow.

Wow.

So it's horror?

Would an office worker read that?

That's what I'm torn about.

Should I stick to what sells
instead of what I actually wanna write?

"404 FOUND."

You know how when you browse the Internet

it sometimes says "404 NOT FOUND"?

Well, that means the server is running,

but the corresponding page doesn't exist.

"I do exist somewhere,

but I can't find the answer."

The thing is,

404 isn't exactly a fatal system error.

If you take a little break and reboot,

you might just find it again.

So you're saying if I get writer's block,

I should just come here,
grab a drink, and unwind?

Bingo.

[laughing] Man, I totally fell for that.
[clicks tongue]

-Pour me another one.
-With pleasure.

[Yeong-mook] You always come here to clear
your head when you can't find the answer.

I'm going to spend

my time traveling with my wife
from now on,

so come fix things
and look after the place for me.

Take your time and figure out
what you want to do while you're at it.

Stop worrying about me
and just take care of yourself, Da-ra.

Don't just live on burgers, hmm?

And don't get hurt playing futsal.

All right.
I'll call you as soon as I land.

[sighs]

CALLING
MON AMOUR JAE-IN

[line ringing]

[operator] Your call cannot be connected.
You'll be redirected to--

[call ends]

I wonder why he won't pick up.

[line ringing]

[sighs]

Hello, Jae-in.

[Jae-in] No-ah.

[upbeat synth-pop playing]

What are you doing here?

I couldn't bear to send you off alone.

I'll drop you off.

Aw, Jae-in.

I never thought my first trip with you
would be to Senegal.

Wow. I love this a lot.

[laughing]

Thanks so much.

Don't mention it.

Working late again tonight?

Not at all. I'm just having fun here.

Anyone would think
you're building model kits or something.

Have you had dinner?

I'm unemployed, so…

-[scoffs] What about lunch?
-I had ramyeon.

Your lifestyle has seriously tanked
ever since you quit.

I thought you said health was
the one thing you'd never compromise on.

I'll be fine.
I have a naggy person by my side.

[gasps]

[gasps] Delicious.

How's your work coming along?

I've got a rough outline down.

Oh…

How are things for you?

The rookie is killing me
with a new mess-up every day.

-I don't wanna go to work tomorrow.
-[chuckles]

Then call in sick
and stay here with me instead.

Should I?

Do you mind if I join you?

[Si-woo] Unwind this first.

[gentle music playing]

And then after…

You detach this part, which reveals…

[Ji-yoon] Impressive.

Even the way you take things apart
is on another level.

-Try this one too.
-[Ji-yoon chuckles]

Take a seat.

What were you working on?

I was brainstorming some ideas, and…

[gentle music continues]

[laughs]

Please look for an office space
around Songwol-dong.

-It doesn't have to be that big.
-[cicadas buzzing]

-[Ji-yoon] Wow!
-Sleep. I'll carry you like this.

[Ji-yoon chuckles]

[Si-woo] But you know what?

[Ji-yoon] What?

6 MONTHS LATER

When it comes to automotive audio,
it's really a battle against noise.

You have to be able to control engine hum,
road noise, and even wind sound.

Well, a microphone needs to sense
the noise inside the car.

MARKET LANDSCAPE - LIMITATIONS
OF LEGACY AUTOMOTIVE

A speaker can put out
the exact opposite phase.

Besides canceling out noise,

the system should read the driver's
emotions and adjust accordingly.

What do you think, Toto?

If I tell you, you're just going to dump
all the work on me again.

That's only because you're the most
hardworking teammate we have.

Stop gaslighting me.

Keep this up, and I'm taking a PTO day.

[chuckling]

[person] Manager Cha!

[upbeat music playing]

CHA JI-YOON

[Na-ri] Ms. Cha!

Have you all eaten already?

[all] Yes, Ms. Cha.

So, let's start the first meeting

of the revived
Future Household Appliances Task Force.

Sweetie!

-[soft pop playing]
-[chuckles]

What brings you all the way out here?

I came so we can brave the commute.

Let's walk a bit first.

It'll be completely packed
if we get on now.

Okay.

[Ji-yoon] We can't do this,
we can't do that. [sighs]

I mean, if they shoot down everything,
what are we supposed to work on?

At this rate, I think
we're going to lose everything, huh,

to our competi-- [gasps, exclaims]

A fall at your age can mean broken bones.

[chuckles]

[lighthearted music playing]

Let's get married then,

before we get any older, Ji-yoon.

Wow.

It's an actual ring this time.

So I'm taking it that means yes?

Hmm… Sorry.

Again?

This time…

I should be the one to propose.

But, you see,
I'm a little busy these days.

Can I put it on you after this project?

By that point,
we'll be getting matching hearing aids.

[laughs]

I don't know
when we'll be getting married, but…

It'll be with me on one spring day.

[Ji-yoon] I love being in love.

[Si-woo] Because it makes
everything possible.

Let's get fried chicken and beer
before we head home.

Again? Aren't you sick of it?

You know I could never get sick
of fried chicken and beer.

[Si-woo] Even when
there's no map to follow,

even when we lose our way for a while,

the one thing that helps us find our way…

[Ji-yoon] Will always be love.

Oh. I'm staying over
at your place tonight.

My new place is just so cold.

Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?

Mmm.

I can't slack off on love because of work.

[both chuckle]

I love you.

[laughs] Love you too.

[both] I love being in love.

[music continues]

GREAT JOB TODAY

WE'RE SIGNING OFF NOW

WE THANK BAE YU-RAM
AND PARK SEO-HAM

FOR THEIR SPECIAL APPEARANCES

[theme music playing]
