EPISODE 6

Dal-mi!

Hey, Do-san.

We…

got in.

What?

-For real?
-Yes, for real.

Look. That screen over there.

"Samsan Tech." See that?

You still don't believe it?

12TH SAND BOX RESIDENCY RECIPIENTS
INJAE COMPANY, SAMSAN TECH

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Congratulations to you, too.

Thanks.

Wait. Mr. Han…

-Where did he go?
-Why are you looking for him?

I have something to ask him.

Dal-mi.

Ask me instead.

I'll answer for him.

What's wrong with me?
It's not like I did anything wrong.

But what am I going to tell her?
I don't have an answer.

Gosh.

I have many questions for you.

Why did you do that?

Why did you go to great lengths to
help us even if it meant you had to lie?

Congratulations. You really did it.

Thanks to you.

Enough lip service. It's embarrassing.

I answered Dal-mi for you.

Regarding why you helped us.

You answered for me?
What did you tell her?

I asked him to.

I was finally meeting you after 15 years

and I wanted to impress you.

So I went to him and asked him for help.

But why would he help you?

We're very close.

We're practically like brothers.
That's why.

We're close?

We're like brothers? You and me?

Do you seriously expect her to buy that?
Did she?

Yes, she did.

She did?

I told her that everything
you've done for us,

you did for me, so there isn't anything
strange about it.

It has always been like that

and always will be.

Good job. You did well.

You're a good talker, Do-san.

You don't stutter or look away anymore.

But why do I feel like you're angry at me?

-I have the right to be now.
-You have "the right"?

What? Are you offended?
Does that piss you off?

Yes, a little.

What's that?

You don't get to be angry
because it's a fact.

I'll give you a chance to get angry
if you get into Sand Box.

Now that you got into Sand Box,

you've earned the right
to be angry at me, is that it?

But I can't.

Because we're like brothers now.

AFTERNOON TEA WITH MOTHER

She's pretty tall.

Sorry, I don't think I've seen her.

Dal-mi, is that you?

I don't speak English.

Mother?

By any chance, are you here to see me?

No way. How would I have known
you were staying here?

I was just meeting some friends
and accidentally ran into you.

I see.

Accidentally.

Bye, then.

Oh, right.

Have you ever heard of Sand Box?

Yes, I have.

I got in.

Congratulations.

I'm sorting things out
after bluffing the other day.

That's why I want to work with Do-san
and grow the company.

I'll try to get on Steve Jobs
or Mark Zuckerberg's level

so you won't dare to outdo me.

So you came here to tell me that?

Yes.

No. Like I said, I'm meeting friends.

This is just a pure coincidence.

I hope you don't get the wrong idea.

I'll be off, then.

Sorry. I don't know you.

WON IN-JAE

A PERSON WHO PLAYS A KEY ROLE
IN DECISION-MAKING IN AN ORGANIZATION

Do-san! Wake up and have breakfast!

Nam Do-san! Come out right now!

The food is getting cold.

Let him sleep. It seems
like he stayed up all night last night.

-I'm leaving for work.
-No breakfast?

I'll eat at Sand Box.
There's so much to eat there.

You're going to work dressed like that?

-What's wrong?
-You seriously don't know?

Gosh.

Follow me.

There you go.

This is how you should dress
on your first day at work.

No one dresses like this at Sand Box.

But you're not like everybody else.

You're a CEO.

-Father.
-Yes, Mr. CEO?

Look how tall and handsome our son is.

Thank goodness he takes after my side.

Except for his height,
I'd say he definitely takes after

my side.

You should go, Mr. CEO.

Here. See you later, Mr. CEO.

-See you.
-See you.

Gosh, I'm totally going to stand out.
Everyone is going to stare at me.

Are those trousers too short?

I think the jacket is a bit big, too.

But that's in fashion now.

NAM DO-SAN

SEO DAL-MI

Ms. Seo, Do-san!
Come have your morning coffee.

Everything's free here.

Come on, hurry up. Order something.

Guys, I worked on our algorithm
all night last night

and ran Injae Company's data
through our program again.

Okay. What's the result?

-Unbelievable!
-You did it!

Great job, Do-san!

-Nam Do-san!
-Nam Do-san!

Cheers, guys!

Is this even possible?

We've been assigned our office.

We're right next to Injae Company.

That's great. Let's go.
Let's go and show them this.

Okay.

Coding has never been more rewarding.

"Rewarding"? What is he talking about?

-Do you know what he's talking about?
-No.

Are we really slow?

Take this.

SAMSAN TECH

What's our room number again?

-It's Room 302.
-It's over there.

-There it is!
-Room 302!

Room 302!

This is it!

-Oh, my gosh!
-This is amazing!

NAM DO-SAN, KIM YONG-SAN

It has everything.

-Are you Mr. Nam Do-san?
-Yes.

-Have a seat.
-Thank you.

You're welcome.
It's so nice to have you here.

-Oh, my. Look at this.
-This is fantastic!

I can't believe this!

Gosh! Guys, look at this.
The desk is going up!

It's automatic!

-Gosh!
-It's going up!

-It's moving!
-That's incredible!

-Can you see me?
-You have to get down!

-Are you there?
-I'm here!

-There you are!
-I'm over here!

Try lowering it!

-It's going down!
-It's going back down!

It's going down now! It's going down!

Guys, is all this really free?

Yes, it is!

My gosh. Unbelievable.

Where's Dal-mi, anyway?

INJAE COMPANY

Their office looks larger than ours.

Is it just me?

Yes, it's just you.

-Hey.
-Why are you peeking into our office?

I wasn't peeking.

I have something to show you.
I came to have a meeting.

What is it?

I came here to…

-Just leave!
-Are you okay, Dal-mi?

-You want everything?
-What's wrong?

-This is over!
-Just leave!

-Get lost!
-Fine.

-Hey!
-No, just leave it.

This is it!

Damn it!

You want all the damn shares?

Fine, you can have them!
But I don't want to see you again.

-Hey, listen to me.
-Leave!

This is the end
of our 20 years of friendship.

Get lost!

Shouldn't having this amazing office
boost teamwork?

I wonder what happened to them.

No idea.
So much drama right before our eyes.

How can they break up on their first day?

Could it be their leader's fault?

They probably had poor teamwork.

All right. Where should everyone sit?

Let's decide where the CEO will sit first.

Me? I'll just choose my desk
after you guys choose yours.

Dal-mi. Just a second.

Dal-mi, this desk is the largest.
Sit here.

No. I don't need a big desk.

But the developers do.
They have more equipment.

Beautiful.
Now, this is what I call teamwork.

-Sit here.
-No, I'm fine.

Sit here. Come on.

Do you call not being able to decide
where to sit teamwork?

I'll sit here. Happy?

-But this is--
-She's a designer. She needs a big desk.

Go away.

All right. Let's decide how to address
and speak to each other at work.

How about we speak formally to each other,

using Mr. and Ms.?

-That sounds good.
-Sure.

I don't want to.

Then should we just speak informally
to each other?

-On a first-name basis?
-Good.

-Okay.
-Sure, Dal-mi.

I don't like that.

I don't want you guys
to speak informally to me.

Well… Then we'll speak formally
to each other,

and you can speak informally to us.

That's too complicated.
I want some consistency.

It's okay.

I guess we could use some consistency.

Hello, I'm VC Park Dong-cheon.

This 2.5 billion-won investment
will be made solely by us.

Jiphyeonjeon Tech has combined
their AI voice technology, Yeong-sil,

-with health services…
-Now that you got into Sand Box,

you've earned the right
to be angry at me, is that it?

But I can't.

Because we're like brothers now.

The service will be validated
through collaboration

with Kangun Hospital in the future.

And in the future,
Yeong-sil will help monitor

-the health of--
-Stop saying "in the future"!

Enough of what'll happen in the future.

Maybe they should go to fortune-tellers,
not investors.

I'm sure you know this.

We make decisions based
on the current data, not on predictions.

Yes, but

these services cannot be implemented
until investments are made.

I see. Then answer these questions.

What's their monthly burn rate?

When is the estimated BEP?

Did you check the contract
with the hospital?

How high are the barriers to entry?

Their labor costs increased
dramatically last year.

Have you looked into why?

Mr. Han, isn't it great
that they intend to serve

the public interest?

Indeed.

But that's not enough.

Why should we give them our LPs' money

to do charity work
that creates little value?

Let them use their own money!
Their own money!

JIPHYEONJEON TECH
INVESTMENT EVALUATION REPORT

-Have some coffee.
-Thank you.

Why is Mr. Han so on edge today?

Is something bothering him?

It's nothing serious.

He just starts mentoring
the newcomers at Sand Box today.

What? I thought he was only mentoring
at the Hackathon.

He was sure that the team would fail,
but they got in in the end.

Gosh. So that's what happened.

I get how he feels.

A Sand Box mentor is
like an angel investor.

What kind of VC wouldn't go crazy
to be accelerating start-ups?

It's like asking a professor
to teach preschoolers the alphabet.

Actually, Mr. Han inspired me

to become a Sand Box mentor myself.

Ms. Yoon, you never cease to amaze me.

I admire your contributions
to our country's start-up ecosystem.

You're my biggest role model.
I wish to follow in your footsteps.

That's great.
I'll let you follow in my footsteps.

-Pardon?
-I was actually looking

for someone who can manage
the 12th program.

No one has applied yet.

Why don't you go ahead
and make a contribution yourself?

Sure, that sounds exciting. Yes!

SAMSAN TECH

For the next six months,

you'll be provided with this office
and other office supplies.

If you need more,
submit a request at any time.

You can also use the servers,
Internet, and electricity

without paying any fees.

When will we be paid our support?

You'll receive 100 million won
in your company account soon.

A hundred million won?

-Unbelievable.
-A hundred million!

Please prepare for due diligence.

-If everything looks good, you'll be paid.
-Okay.

"Due diligence"? What's that?

It must be something like a "due date."

-Okay.
-Okay.

-You're incredible.
-A "due date"?

What's with you? You know what it means.

It's a company appraisal process
conducted before investment.

-Oh, that.
-I mixed them up.

Do you have articles of association,
financial statements,

and a shareholder list?

-What?
-What?

Well…

As if.

They don't even know
what due diligence is.

Wait.

Where are you going? I'm not done yet.

She'll be back soon.
Her purse is still here.

She's a designer, an artist.
She's a free spirit.

The due diligence process will be
performed by your mentor.

When will we know who our mentor is?

After the mentor-CEO meeting at 3 p.m.

Will there be more than one mentor?

Who are the mentors?

First,

Ms. Yoon Seon-hak, the Director
of Sand Box and SH Venture Capital.

Alex, the new head
of the Korea branch of 2STO,

the world's seventh-largest company
in terms of market cap.

Mr. Han Ji-pyeong,
the senior manager of SH Venture Capital.

Last but not least, Mr. Won Du-jeong,
Chairman of Morning Group,

the country's 43rd-largest company.

The other day,
you at least tried to smile.

But you're completely ignoring me today?
Aren't you going to thank me?

For what?

You already forgot?
The test that I suggested.

That's what got you in here.

Oh, are you here to brag about that?

"Brag"?

I did expect this
when you suggested that, though.

If I lost, you'd humiliate me

by saying,
"Serves you right for leaving me."

If I won, you'd brag and say,
"See? You got in all thanks to me."

You're acting exactly the way I expected.

I made time to come here and mentor you,
and is this how you treat me?

I appreciate that you made time for me,

but I've already decided on our mentor.

What? You've decided?

Yes.

START-UP RELAY LECTURE

There's so much text on the screen.
How about we take that logo away?

No, we can't.

The name Sand Box
comes from that very girl.

That girl on the swing?

Was that about 15 years ago?
An entrepreneur told me this story.

He covered the ground with sand

so that his daughter wouldn't get hurt
even if she fell off the swing.

After that, his daughter wasn't afraid
of playing on the swing anymore.

Is that where the name Sand Box
comes from?

Have you rewarded him for the idea?

I would have,

but he passed away in an accident.

Dad.

APPLICATION FOR THE 12TH
SAND BOX RESIDENCY PROGRAM

WON IN-JAE

REASON FOR APPLICATION

I REMEMBER SWINGING OVER THE SAND

MY DAD SPREAD FOR ME
SO THAT I WOULDN'T GET HURT

Thank you for the opportunity.

We finally meet.

She is the beginning of Sand Box.

What? Then is she the girl on the swing?

It's you, right, Ms. Won?

Did you know my late father?

I met him only once

about 15 years ago.

Just like how your father
covered the ground with sand for you,

I'll do everything I can
for you not to get hurt.

Thank you, Ms. Yoon.

What the hell? Is this room soundproof?

Or are they whispering or something?
I can't hear anything.

Why were you listening in?

To understand the situation beforehand.

Isn't it a CEO's job
to understand and analyze the situation?

CEO of Samsan Tech, please come in.

Yes!

I really enjoyed Samsan Tech's pitch
at the Hackathon.

Do any of you want to be
a mentor for Samsan Tech?

Maybe I should raise my hand, too.

You don't have to.

I've already decided
who I want to be our mentor.

What's going on here?

Why is everyone saying
they've already decided?

Really? Who do you want?

It's, of course…

Mr. Han.

Why?

Dal-mi. I mean, Ms. Seo.
That's very kind of you to say, but…

If I were you, I'd choose Alex over me.

But you're the one I choose, Mr. Han.

I mean…

He's from 2STO. You know,
the world's seventh-largest company.

And Alex is the one who recommended
Samsan Tech to Sand Box.

Yes, I know that.

I want Mr. Han to be Samsan Tech's mentor.

Ms. Seo, you frustrate me.

Why give up on such a great option…

I'm not saying I'm a bad option, but…

Do you know how interested
Alex is in Samsan Tech?

He flew in from Silicon Valley
to meet the Samsan Tech guys.

But you are way more interested
in Samsan Tech than he is

and went to even more trouble than he did.

Me? I'm in no way that interested.
And when did I go to any trouble?

That's strange. It's so obvious to me.

Your great interest in Samsan Tech
and the trouble you go to for us.

What are you talking about?
What makes you think so?

I've noticed it many times.

You helped us with the Hackathon pitch.

Mr. Han, what are you doing here?

You let the guys use your apartment
to look successful.

You don't know what that means?

A funding round is… The thing is…

It's a seed stage company
we're immensely interested in.

You saved Do-san from humiliation
at the networking party, too.

Your interest and efforts were

pretty obvious to me.

It almost gave me the wrong idea, too.

What wrong idea?

I mean, you were being unusually generous.

So I wondered if you were interested in me
as a girl or something.

But that was just a misunderstanding.
Do-san cleared it up.

I heard that you two are like brothers.

And you were doing Do-san a favor.

Yes, kind of.

That explains all the things you've done
for us so far. And I'm thankful.

I know this is shameless of me,
but I have a favor to ask you.

Please continue to look after and guide us
like family in the future, too.

You'll regret choosing me.

Don't worry.

I've never regretted any choice
I've made in my life.

We'll see.

So Alex is from that famous 2STO?

-Yes.
-And he came here to meet us?

Yes.

And you chose Mr. Han as our mentor

over Alex? Is that it?

Yes.

Why? Why would you give up
on a global figure like Alex

for a local figure like Mr. Han?

What do you mean, why?

Alex might be a global figure, but Mr. Han

is family.

"Family"?

Yes.

Since when? What is she talking about?

What?

You know that Mr. Han and I are
like brothers, right?

-That's right.
-Yes, I know that,

but it surprises me every time.
I never get used to it.

Well… If you need anything
or have any questions,

feel free to let me know.

That's what a mentor is for.

The Himalayas… What's that called again?

The trekking guide…

Sherpa?

That's it. Sherpa.

Do-san, my brother. I will be

your reliable Sherpa.

The journey is going to be hard,

but we'll make it together.

My…

dear…

precious…

brother.

Okay?

All right. It's time for due diligence.

Let's start with the basic contract.

Sure.

What? A bolt from the blue?
This doesn't feel right.

What's going on?

Ten out of ten for the business plan
and articles of association.

Our CEO here amended them all.

Come on. We did it together.

But the shareholders' list gets
minus one million points.

-What?
-Why?

Minus?

"Nam Do-san, 19 percent.

Seo Dal-mi, Kim Yong-san, Lee Chul-san,
Jung Sa-ha, and Nam Seong-hwan,

16 percent respectively.

Nam Cheon-ho, one percent."

Mr. Nam, you're the biggest shareholder.

He is the best coder among us
and makes the most contribution.

So he gets three more percent than us.

The rest of us get
16 percent each, which is fair.

Who's Nam Seong-hwan?

What? You don't know?

Bro, it's my father.

That's right.

What's happening to me?
It slipped my mind.

-Is everything all right with him?
-Yes.

-How's his health?
-Good. Very good.

That's great.

He's been investing a lot in Samsan Tech
over the years.

-That's why he gets 16 percent.
-Oh, that's why.

-Yes.
-I see.

And Nam Cheon-ho is…

My cousin.

My cousin.

Right, he's your cousin.

Why does he get one percent?

I'm sure you told me, but I forgot.

-Well…
-He's been in charge

of design and video editing
for Samsan Tech.

-Design and video editing?
-Yes.

SAMSAN TECH
ON STANDBY 24/7

INVESTMENT INQUIRIES WELCOME

I see…

All right. Fair enough.

You guys split equity very beautifully

among yourselves.

Right? Isn't it so beautiful?

I know this for sure.

After seeing this shareholders' list,
no one will be stupid enough

to invest in your company. No one. Why?

This beautifully distributed equity
will eventually get in the way of the CEO.

Ms. Seo.

Where do you think
a CEO's power comes from?

It comes from equity.

It's so obvious, but I didn't know.

No, it's not that I didn't know.
I trusted my father too much.

So I just thought his shares were mine.

You learned an important lesson.

As you probably already know,

it's important to give power to the CEO
in the early stages of a start-up.

Yes. I learned that the hard way.

I don't think you need any advice from me.

I'm the one who should learn from you.

That's not true. Please help us a lot.

Why shouldn't the equity
be distributed equally?

If we act as one--

Wouldn't it be simpler to just be one
than to act as one?

Let's say one of you disagrees
with the rest--

That's not going to happen.

Our friendship will last forever.

Sorry. It'll last forever?

It's never going to change?

Where do you think

such stupid words are used most often?

At weddings.

Then why do 100,000 couples
get divorced every year?

Didn't they love each other
when they got married?

That's not it.
In the beginning, they felt the same.

They loved each other sincerely
and they believed

that their love would be eternal.

Just like you do now.

When a marriage breaks,

you just split money and custody
between you and your spouse.

But a company is different.

When a company breaks up,
the investors lose their money.

What if I give up my shares

to someone else?

-Then that person will have 35 percent.
-Hey.

Did you say 35 percent?

That's nowhere near enough.

What?

Once the funding round begins, investors
will start buying up company shares.

It won't be long before an investor

owns more than 35 percent of the shares.

In the worst-case scenario,
your colleagues may betray you

and side with investors
to try and take control of the company,

or even sell it.

To prevent that from happening,

you need to give the key man
the majority of shares in the beginning.

That's how you protect your company.

How do you decide
who should be the key man?

It's simple.

Who is the person
that Samsan Tech can't do without?

Then how much equity
should that person have?

At least 60 percent.
But personally, I'd say

more than 90 percent.

We can finish due diligence here.

The transfer will be made
tomorrow morning.

Thank you.

So the CEO gets 80-percent equity.

The rest will be distributed
among the founding members.

We're all for a strong CEO,

but is everyone on the same page?

-Yes.
-Yes.

Ms. Won promised to compensate us
with stock options.

I doubt that anyone would object to this.

Over my dead body!

Did you plan this together?

I knew something was going on
when you chose Mr. Han over Alex.

You two must've teamed up
to steal my shares. Am I wrong?

-Look, Mr. Lee.
-Hey, are you serious right now?

Was it your idea, Do-san?

Did you want our shares?

So you teamed up with your family,
Mr. Han, you jerk?

You little… That's enough.
You're out of line.

Guys, calm down. Is this how little
our friendship is worth?

Yes, that's right. It's worth less than
shares, and a lot less than a girl!

You want a piece of me?

-Stop, guys!
-Stay out of this.

What? Did I say something wrong?

Hey, why should I stay out of this?
Do I mean nothing to you?

Let go! Hey, baldness runs
in my family! Let go!

Thanks for the information!

Fine, this is the end for us!
This is the end!

Let go!

That hurts!

Hey!

That hurts!

No! I have a bad hip!

Let go!

Mr. Han!

I'm sure they'll make up soon, so--

If they're fighting
over 100 million won now,

they can never pursue a greater cause.

Let alone grow a hundred, thousand times
more in the future.

And the biggest problem here

is that the CEO can't resolve
the situation.

Ms. Seo, you're the problem.

-This is it!
-I quit!

Fine, this is it! Change the name, too!

Change it to Dal-mi Tech!

Go for it!

Chul-san!

Can you go talk to him?

Why? I'm not a pushover.

Hey, are you really quitting?

Does this look like a joke?

Wow, Samsan Tech is shutting down
on their first day.

I know.

Oh, right. Didn't you say
you had something to show me?

Well, I don't remember what it was.

SHAREHOLDERS' LIST

Do-san.

Yes?

Can you take me home?

Is there anything you want to say to me?

Don't let what the other guys said
bother you. Just think of it as noise.

"Noise"?

When there's too much data,

machine learning takes longer
and is more difficult.

But you can achieve better results
by filtering out noise beforehand.

So consider what they said noise
and just filter it out.

Okay.

What about you? Can you filter it out?

No.

Don't worry. I'll persuade them somehow.

How about

you become the CEO instead?

I can be the CMO or CFO.

No. That's noise.
It needs to be filtered out immediately.

Hey, I'm not joking.

I'm not either.

I chose you as the CEO of our company.

And I don't want to regret it.

Dal-mi, is that you?

Yes, Grandma! I'm coming in!

Do you want to come in
and say hi to my grandma?

Some other time. I look awful today.

What? You look great.
You're wearing a suit and everything.

Come in and say hi to her.

This doesn't feel natural.

Later. I'll come visit her
some other time.

Okay. Some other time.

Can't you just be the CEO
and take all the shares?

You have no idea.

The guys got into a fight because of that
and were pulling each other's hair.

It was horrible.

Plus, I don't want that.

I feel uncomfortable,
and it doesn't make sense.

Then let Do-san be the CEO
and take all the shares.

I can't. Do-san doesn't want it.

That's out of the question.

What if you're the CEO
but Do-san takes the most shares?

That doesn't work either.

Mr. Han said
the investors wouldn't like it.

Goodness, then there's nothing you can do.

Where are you going? I'm not done yet.

This is enough.
I don't need more Band-Aids.

That's not what I mean.
I'm not done talking yet.

I have a hundred other problems, too.
Sit down.

I'm sure they're just as unsolvable.

The problem is, you're looking for
answers that don't exist.

Then what am I supposed to do?

Yeong-sil, turn on the lights.

Okay.

What?

What happened? You're actually
listening to me today. I feel bad now.

You don't have to feel bad.

You're very forgiving.

I denied your company an investment today.

I said some mean stuff, too.
Aren't you angry?

Of course not.
No one understands you better than I do.

Thanks.

And the biggest problem here

is that the CEO can't resolve
the situation.

Ms. Seo, you're the problem.

Will Seo Dal-mi do the same?

Will she understand me like you do?

Of course not.
No one understands you better than I do.

What was I expecting?

I WISH YOU SUCCESS

TO MR. HAN JI-PYEONG

What are you doing here?

What about you?

Well, I just…

What's this, anyway?

Mosquitoes love my blood, you know.

Stop being so fussy.

Well… Should I just leave?

Are you letting me just leave?

SAMSAN TECH

The sign looked different
in the beginning.

Do you remember that?

Of course.

How could I ever forget?

SAMSAN TECH

DOSAN TECH

You didn't have to come. You're busy.

Of course, I should.

Hey, I'm so proud of you.

What? Address him properly.

He's a CEO now.

I love your office.
It has a nice view and a good vibe.

Really? Guys, join me.
There's a lot of space.

What do you say?

We would, but we're not good enough.

We're not. We're not there yet.

What are you waiting for? It's cold.
Hurry up and bow so we can go inside.

Okay.

Gosh, it's cold.

Stop trembling.

-I'm not the one trembling, Father.
-You're spilling it.

How many times do we bow?

-Three times.
-Three times? Okay.

Don't you think
the company name is so lame?

Dosan Tech? What's that?

What can he do? That's his name.

I pray for my company's success.

It looks like our servers have been
attacked by ransomware.

-What about the backups?
-Them, too.

Even all our partners' data
have been removed.

Damn it. How much are they asking for?

To recover the files,
we have to pay 100 million won.

But if we don't pay up within 24 hours,
it'll be 200 million.

What do we do?

God damn it.

-Hey, you sort it out.
-What?

It happened on your watch.
It's your responsibility.

-Got it? Whatever.
-Wait. No.

Wait!

-Chul-san, calm down.
-Let go!

Please!

I should just die.

I don't have 100 million won!

Hey, wait.

Hey, you won't even die
if you jump from here.

You'll just hurt yourself.

I told them I'd quit,
but they said I should still pay.

I'm still paying back my student loan.

-How am I going to get 100 million?
-Hey, wait.

I'll solve it for you, okay?

Hey, I'll solve it for you.

Do you have 100 million?

What do you think? Of course not.

I'll just die!

I'll just die!

Do-san, I'll die!

-I can't even die.
-Do it.

-I'm an idiot.
-Just die.

-I can't.
-There's no way you can pay 100 million.

-Was your computer on?
-Yes.

I might be able to find the prime key
in the memory.

-Really?
-Let's see.

Chul-san.

Chul-san, wake up. It's morning.

What happened?

Did I fall asleep?

Did I, really? I'm not even human.

I'm an animal. I must be crazy.

I found the prime key
and removed the ransomware,

-so you don't have to quit.
-What?

That bastard isn't going to get any money.

Do-san.

Thank you. Thank you so much, Do-san.

Thank you.

So don't worry about a thing.

Go to work confidently.

-Okay.
-Keep your shoulders back.

-Okay.
-Okay?

-Okay.
-Okay?

Okay.

Chul-san.

Hey.

-Use this money.
-What's this?

It's my severance pay
and the money I got for my scooter.

It's not 100 million,
but I'm sure it'll help.

You're crazy.

You must get your job back.

Get down on your knees
in front of your boss or something, idiot.

Forget it. I wanted to quit anyway.

-I'm sick of being a cog in a machine.
-I mean…

Mr. Nam, can I work here?

You can, but…

I just removed the ransomware.

We don't need that money anymore.

Sorry.

You punk, why didn't you tell me earlier?

I already quit my job!

Hey! What are you going to do now?

-I'm sorry.
-Stop it.

-Don't fight.
-Stay out of this.

-I quit my job for you!
-Calm down, guys.

-I'm sorry.
-It's your fault!

-Why did you remove it?
-Why is it my fault?

-Why did you--
-Why are you blaming me?

Do-san, Yong-san.

Look at this.

This formula…

One good thing is

that because we joined the company,

we could change the name from Dosan Tech

to Samsan Tech.

Do-san sure is a genius.

All the big companies lost
hundreds of millions to that hacker,

-but Do-san stopped him.
-I know.

Do-san is the unofficial savior

of the country's economy.

I wouldn't mind giving up
my shares to Do-san at all.

If it's Do-san, I'm all for it, too.

But not if it's Seo Dal-mi.

Why? She looks like a nice person.
She's competent, too.

Let's face it, we couldn't have entered
Sand Box without her.

I know that.
I'm a good judge of character, too.

But don't you know

how she and Do-san met in the first place?

Gosh. Those letters.

How long do you think he can lie
about the letters?

Do you think Dal-mi will remain

even after finding out
that Do-san is fake?

She'll leave, for sure.

She may have been fixing our bugs so far,

but she'll be a bug herself
sooner or later.

SAMSAN TECH CEO SEO DAL-MI

WHAT MAKES A GREAT CEO?

Mr. Han.

You picked a useless book.

You know why? My mentor isn't
answering my questions,

so I'm hoping this book will.

I'll answer you.

Let me see. Question number one.

"What makes a great CEO?"

There's no such thing.

That's as absurd as asking
what makes a great politician.

Why? What's so absurd about it?

There are no right answers
to politics or management.

Why look for answers that don't exist?

So,

instead of looking for answers,
make choices.

Whatever you choose, you'll be criticized.

You can't make any decisions
if you're afraid of criticism.

And if you can't make decisions,
you can't be a CEO.

What do you want to be?

A good person or a CEO?

Don't be greedy. You can't be both.

Choose one. Just one.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT CEO?

It was 8,500 won.

-It's 8,500 won?
-A small bowl…

-What's with 500 won?
-But they give you a lot.

Really? Where is it?

JUNG SA-HA

We're just…

It was really good.

Really?

The number you have dialed
is currently unavailable.

Yes, it's coming along pretty well.

What about your content? How's it going?

That's going to burst.

Hi, Dal-mi.

You have something to tell me?

SAMSAN TECH

I'm leaving the office. Where are you?

Hey, Chul-san.

Don't touch the milk.

"Don't touch the milk"?

Where is it? So what if I touch it?

I sure will touch it.

That petty little…

What will you do if I drink it?

Chul-san!

What is this?

-It hurts!
-Chul-san!

-What do I do?
-Do-san!

Do-san, I can't see anything!

Is this blood?

No, it isn't. I'm sorry, just wait!

Just wait.

Do-san, I can't open my eyes.

What if I'm going blind?

I told you not to touch it!

It stings!

Chul-san, look at me.

I said I can't see anything!

Move out of the way!

-What happened?
-The milk!

-The milk burst!
-Milk?

-Hurry up!
-Milk?

-The milk burst?
-Where are you, Yong-san?

-What are you talking about?
-Yong-san!

I'm here!

-Where is it?
-I can't open my eyes!

-It's this way.
-I can't see anything!

The medication doesn't stop vision loss.
It only slows it down.

Vision…

Doctor.

Am I going blind?

No, you're not.

Saline solution, please.

Doctor, it's salty.

Stay still. Why are you crying?

I'm crying because I feel ashamed.

I'm a piece of trash.
I'm an ungrateful piece of trash.

Doctor, I must see again. Okay?

If I don't, the last thing I'll have seen

will be the look of disappointment
in my friends' faces.

I must see them again.

-I get it. Just stay still.
-I'll try.

But it stings so much.

I threw a tantrum in front of my friends.

I said mean things.

Don't worry. We understand you.

Yes. We don't care. Just open your eyes.

Open your eyes now.

-Can I?
-Yes. What do you think?

Can you see?

Yes!

Doctor, I can see!

-Hey!
-Hey!

You're Yong-san. And you're Do-san.

I really thought I'd never see you again.

Seriously.

Look at me.

His eye boogers…

Doctor, his eye boogers are white.

That's not good, is it?

Your eye boogers may have
a little milk in them for a while.

Use teardrops for a few days,
and it'll be fine.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you. I'll be a good person.

Come here, guys.

I told you not to touch the milk,
didn't I?

Are you sure you can see me?

I can see you!

I can see you. Thank you, Doctor.

Your skills are out of this world.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for the mean things
I said to you guys.

What mean things?
I don't remember anything.

Me either.

Oh, it's from Ms. Seo.

She wants to have a meeting.

Do-san, no matter what decision I make
from now on,

please support me.

-Do-san.
-Yes?

I trust you.

No matter what.

And Ms. Seo--

Chul-san, if you trust me,

please trust Dal-mi, too.

Why did you have to cut in
and make me look petty?

I trust her.

I trust her like I trust you,
and I'll give up my shares to her.

Why won't you let me finish my sentence?

-Really?
-Yes.

So do a good job.

Okay. I'll make sure
we don't become a bug.

A bug?

Did you hear
everything we said last night?

-I did.
-Gosh.

You sneaky bastard.

-Come here.
-What?

Take that.

Let's go.

I made a new shareholders' list.

Kim Yong-san, Lee Chul-san,
Nam Seong-hwan,

and I get eight percent each.

Nam Cheon-ho gets one percent.

The largest shareholder is Nam Do-san
with 67 percent.

-Well…
-I want you all to respect my decision.

Also, I'd like everyone to speak formally
to each other at work.

It might be okay to speak informally now,
but when we recruit more people,

we'll need some guidelines
regarding the way we communicate.

So why don't we give ourselves
a head start by starting it now?

-That sounds good to me.
-Okay.

Are there any questions or comments?

Hold on.

Why do I get no shares?

You do, in the other version.

Here, everyone including you
gets seven percent each.

Nam Cheon-ho gets one percent,
and Nam Do-san 64 percent.

Why are there two versions?

Your answer to the next question
will determine which version.

Are you ready to speak formally
to everyone at work?

No, I'm not.

Okay, then. I'm sorry,
but you can't work with us anymore.

What?

Because I don't speak formally
to my colleagues?

This is tyranny.

You don't show up for work

and ignore work-related calls.
That's tyranny.

I can't work with someone like you.

So? Which do you choose?

Choose that one.

SHAREHOLDERS' LIST

SHAREHOLDERS' LIST

-Hey, show your ID card.
-Oh, thanks.

Here we go.

Squeeze in.

"Let's do this!" on the count of three.

One, two, three.

-Let's do this!
-Let's do this!

Hey, I thought Dal-mi was
always easygoing,

but she was so charismatic earlier.

-I was so scared I couldn't say anything.
-I know.

Aren't we supposed to speak formally
to each other?

-I'm sorry.
-We'll stop.

-I'm sorry, Mr. Kim.
-I'm sorry, Mr. Lee.

Don't worry. It's okay.

SHAREHOLDERS' LIST

NAM DO-SAN 64%
SEO DAL-MI 7%

I told you, it'll confuse the investors.

Who is the key man
that they're dealing with?

Ms. Seo or Mr. Nam?

I'll be the one
dealing with the investors.

But Mr. Nam will always accompany me
as our CTO.

What if you two disagree?

That's not going to happen.

Since Mr. Nam has
the majority of the shares,

he'll still be the largest shareholder
even if we get investors.

So you're ignoring

my opinion?

No. I followed your advice.

Whatever I choose,
I can't satisfy everyone.

So I made a choice

that I knew would be criticized
by only one person.

And that person is me?

I'm sorry.

But I had to make a choice
because I'm the CEO.

You're right. You're the CEO.

Your support will be paid tomorrow.

Thank you.

-Are you not coming?
-You go ahead.

I have something to discuss
with Ji-pyeong.

Okay. Excuse me now.

What do you want to talk about?

What?

At the meeting earlier,

you were like a different person.

Do you know how nervous I was?

I thought my heart was going to burst.

My heart is still pounding.

But your heart is on the left side.

Oh, right.

Are you sure about this, though?

Being the CEO without being
the majority shareholder?

Why am I not the majority shareholder?
7 plus 64.

I'm the CEO with 71 percent equity.

You're my share in the company.
The one who is completely on my side.

So we have to always be a team
no matter what.

Understood?

Is your grandma home?

My grandma?

I think so. Why?

What do you want to talk about?

I'm thinking of telling Dal-mi
the truth today.

The truth?

About the letters?

Yes.

Why, all of a sudden?

I want to remove a bug
that's bound to occur someday.

Can I come in and say hi to her?

Are you sure?

I'd love that.

Just a second.

Wait just one minute.

Actually, make it three.

Grandma!

Dal-mi, you're home. Did you eat?

Grandma, Do-san is coming.

Do-san? When?

-Now.
-What? Now?

Yes.

Gosh, why, all of a sudden?

Grandma, two minutes left.

I have a little something for you.

I made these…

These are scrubbies I made myself.

They're RGB, the primary colors of light.

Maybe I don't need to mention RGB.

-Come on in.
-Okay.

-Put on these slippers.
-Okay.

Grandma, Do-san is here.

He is? Welcome.

Hello, I'm Nam Do-san.

You haven't seen each other
in 15 years, right?

Can you recognize her?

Grandma, do you remember him?

The medication doesn't stop vision loss.

-It only slows it down.
-Okay.

-Here you go.
-Thanks.

You don't remember her?

What?

Well…

Of course, I do.

It's been a long time.

Yes.

It's so nice to see you again, Do-san.

I WANT TO GET MY REVENGE

SAMSAN TECH

I don't really remember
what happened 15 years ago.

I wish

you didn't know me back then.

Mr. Han,

-are you jealous?
-We'll be able to last six months.

We need to yield good result
in the next six months.

I'm giving you information.

Will you let this opportunity slip away?

Let's go.

It would've been nice if you'd chosen
me like your sister.

Shut up.
