Original subtitles

You really thought you could get away?

-Hand it over. -No.

You stupid cow.

Do you really want to get hurt?

Who the hell do you think you're threatening?

I'm not scared of you.

It seems like you are.

Give it to me.

Hand it over!

-She won't. -Mr. Lee.

Ms. An?

Who the hell are you clowns?

-I'm not a clown. I'm Mr. Lee. -And I'm Ms. An.

What?

You guys...

Move out of my way, or you'll all be fired.

That's how you people operate.

"If you don't want to be reprimanded

or lose your jobs, do as you're told!"

We've let you trample all over us just so that we can put food on the table,

but enjoying hefty meals doesn't guarantee happiness.

So we've decided to feed our pride as well from now on.

You called us clowns?

Well, these so-called clowns

have something called pride too.

Ms. An...

We'll take care of them, so get going.

-Mr. Lee... -Your friends need you, so go!

Go on. Hurry along.

I'll get going then. Thank you, everyone.

Don't just stand there. Get her!

-No, you don't. -Stop right there.

Don't you dare!

-Stop! -Over my dead body.

Seriously? Just push through.

-No, don't... -No!

No...

What? A police officer?

-Who called them? -We don't know, sir.

Mr. Byun Hyuk and Kwon Je-hun have been arrested just now.

What about the contract then?

The police said it was evidence...

and confiscated it, sir.

What?

Jun... Why isn't Jun here?

-Should I call her? -Yes.

Excuse me, Officer,

but may I ask which station you're from?

Why do you ask?

I was informed by the chairman's office

that no call to the police was made.

The chairman doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Please release them.

I see you're not aware of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Those who commit burglary, especially when caught in the act,

can be arrested without a report being made.

The chairman said he'll go to the station later and explain in person.

Not even the chairman can interfere with my duty.

I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.

The bosses already cleared this matter.

Well, I have no idea who these "bosses" are.

Interfere with my duty again,

and I'll charge you with obstruction of justice.

Let's go.

But what about Jun?

Over here. I got it.

Cuff her too.

Just play along.

Off we go.

Damn it.

So? You let them all just leave like that

with the dual contract?

I'm afraid so, sir.

-Call them. -Pardon?

The men we have on payroll for events like this.

Get them on the phone!

It's me.

Hello? Mr. Kim, it's me.

You heard what happened, right? Will you let them get away with it?

What? You're busy now?

Hello?

Hello?

Did he just hang up on me?

Have you still not gotten through to Mr. Oh at the central office?

He's out golfing, sir.

He must have his phone with him!

But he's not answering.

Are you kidding me?

Imbeciles!

You can't just turn your back because things are getting messy.

Considering what we gave you, it's time for you to repay us.

Must we reveal all the high-ranking prosecutors on our payroll?

Once you do, you'll be completely severing your safety net.

So are you sure about that?

-What? -The evidence is too solid

for us to cover it up.

-You should get ready for the trial. -What the...

Hello?

Damn it!

LIST OF BS ACCOUNTS UNDER BORROWED NAMES

This contains the accounts under borrowed names

and those who they lobbied.

And this is the dual contract between Gangsu and BS.

GANGSU GROUP: BYUN GANG-SU BS COMPANY: MIN SANG-HO

"Without Byun Gang-su's approval,

BS Company's stocks can't be sold or bought."

Stamped with Byun Gang-su's seal.

Nicely done.

-Let's move forward with this. -Sir,

what should we do with the three?

Don't you regret it?

I do. I couldn't regret it more.

Why wasn't I able to persuade my dad sooner?

Why wasn't I able to persuade him more firmly?

That I deeply regret.

What about you? Do you regret anything?

I do regret something. A lot.

Why wasn't I able to accept you as a friend sooner?

If I had,

both of our lives would've turned out differently.

I deeply regret it now.

ON OFFICIAL DUTY

Hurry up! Don't leave anything out.

I will soon be here to greet you officially, Mr. Byun.

Don't bother coming here again.

I'll come to you myself.

I'm grateful, sir.

Hurry up, guys!

The prosecution that had been investigating

the food supplier BS Company

for illegal slush funds and illegal transfer of capital overseas

executed a search warrant for Gangsu Group's HQ this afternoon.

The office hopes to find key evidence

that connects BS to Gangsu Group...

What on earth is going all of a sudden?

It is said that the prosecution will extend

its investigation into bribes solicited by Gangsu Group as well.

Mom, what on earth are they saying on the news?

Something must be wrong.

Something must be very wrong.

CHAIRMAN BYUN GANG-SU

Turning a blind eye to injustice for the sake of money

only worked back in the day.

It doesn't work now.

Sir, your car has been brought out front.

Right, I should get going.

Let's go.

It's been a long day.

He's not going to hit me?

You bastard!

Consider yourself dead.

-Father, please calm down. -Sir!

You're dead meat!

-Sir! -You rat bastard.

Sir, please calm down.

My gosh.

You ungrateful buffoon!

Wu-seong.

You bastard.

Are you happy now?

Are you...

satisfied with yourself?

I'm sorry, Wu-seong.

I'm sorry it had to happen this way.

But this is right.

Correcting what's wrong is how we start over.

Who are you to correct anything in this company?

Who do you think you are, ruining everything our father's built?

Remember what you said?

You said we have a lot of assets and privileges.

That there aren't many things we can't do.

So?

Since nothing can hold us back, we should do it right.

Building a healthier company

is good for the employees as well as Dad.

It'll lead to a better world.

Isn't that how the privileged truly shine?

That's...

noblesse oblige.

How can you say that after you made such a mess?

You ruined the company I was going to inherit!

Why do you never think to raise the value of our company

and just want to inherit it?

It's what you wanted too!

Did you think this would make Gangsu Group yours?

In your dreams.

Noblesse oblige, my ass.

Whoever fed you that nonsense anyway?

I read it in the papers.

Since when did you read newspapers?

You should too. It's quite enlightening.

You fucking prick.

It's all right.

You did well.

I know it wasn't easy, but you've done an amazing job.

Everything will be really all right now.

Honey.

Hyuk is not my son anymore.

But honey...

He's no longer a member of this family.

That's final.

Shouldn't you go home?

Hyuk.

If I do, my dad will beat me to oblivion.

Judging by my dad's anger,

he'll knock out some teeth and break my leg for sure.

MY LOVING MOM

Gosh, it's my mom.

Your father

will go to the Prosecutors' Office for questioning tomorrow.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Wu-seong can't go because of an emergency meeting.

Could you perhaps accompany your father?

You'll be there, right?

I will, Mom. And I'm sorry.

There's no need to apologize.

It's about time your father learned his lesson.

He's been terrible all these years.

You prick.

How could you go this far when it's your father?

You're his son, you know.

You're putting him in prison during this harsh winter?

He's too old for that.

I'm sorry, Mom.

What do we do?

I can't believe you.

You didn't have to do this. I wouldn't have minded a quiet send-off.

-Dad... -Right.

I packed you some food, so don't skip your meal.

Make sure you take your blood pressure medicine too.

Take care of yourself.

I get it, so stop with the nagging.

One might think I'm on my way to die.

When being questioned,

don't snap at the prosecutor

or let your temper flare up.

You really need to watch your blood pressure.

Okay, I'll take care of myself, Yeo-jin.

Honey...

Se-na, I'll get going.

Honey...

Let's go.

He's here!

You punk. What the hell are you doing here?

You would've beaten me to death at home.

I figured I'd be safe with the reporters around.

The reporters?

-You imbecile-- -Actually,

I'm here to be by your side.

-When you're the reason why I'm here? -I apologize.

BS Company?

So what?

I'm not the only one with a shady deal on the side.

All businessmen in Korea have at least a few of them.

Like you said, it was common back in the day.

It wasn't illegal or something to be ashamed of.

And that's how I still feel. I did nothing wrong,

and the way I operated was the right way to conduct business.

But you...

should live your life your own way.

It is a new era after all.

Let's go.

We prepared this for you, sir.

What the hell? What is this lame-ass chair?

Is it even new? I don't need it, you morons.

It's not even decent enough.

-Your rumored slush fund... -Any words, sir?

Could you say a few words?

-Sir, please. -Over here, please.

Please say a few words.

Are the rumors true?

-Please say a few words. -Over here!

Where one path ends, a new path opens up.

When one door closes,

another opens.

When winter deepens,

spring returns.

When I crumble,

a stronger version of me rises from the ruins.

The best closure opens a path for a true beginning.

Honest despair

brings forth hope.

I will answer all questions truthfully.

That's all I have to say.

Let's get this over with then.

INTERROGATORY

I don't know about it well,

so talk to my lawyers.

As we endured the storm,

the world seemed to be revolutionized quickly.

Rub thoroughly, will you?

But it takes longer than you think for things to change

which is why we haven't been noticing any changes.

No way!

CEO BYUN GANG-HO

Ironically, ever since my father's arrest,

the company's stock price has been climbing.

It proved

that the company wasn't just my dad's.

-Must I wait for you again? -Sorry, sir.

THE REHABILITATION OF REPUTATION

THE DISMISSAL OF BAEK SEUNG-GI HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN

This is great.

Right, Mom?

What's important isn't the speed but the direction we're headed.

We can wait no matter how slow we go

as long as we're going in the right direction.

RUNNING: 1 HOUR 11 MINUTES

DURATION OF WORKOUT, AVERAGE SPEED

Did you get up at this hour?

-Are you headed to work? -Yes.

Until when are you going to lounge around at home?

Don't tell me you're thinking about staying jobless forever.

Why? Are you worried?

Jun, is this you worrying about me?

Well, I mean...

Of course I'm worried. I'm your friend, aren't I?

Well, don't be. I'm actually having the time of my life.

I'm going to enjoy this break while I can

since I don't know when it'll end.

Right. You should enjoy what you haven't been able to.

You deserve this kind of time in your life too.

-I'll get going then. -Hold on.

When will you tell Hyuk?

When the date's finally set.

-Hello. -Good morning.

-Hi. -Hello.

-Good morning. -Don't forget that

-and make sure... -Good morning.

-Hi. -Morning.

If you come across any problems on your shift,

please let me know.

Also, we can't have restrooms

run out of toilet paper, so always place two rolls.

Please do your best so that the employees can focus on their work

in a neat and clean environment. Okay?

-Yes, Ms. An. -Yes, Ms. An.

Let's go, Gangsu Cleaning.

-Let's go! -Let's go!

-Have a good day today. -Have a good day.

-Have a good day. -Have a good day too.

-Hello. -Good morning, sir.

-Ms. An! -Junior...

I mean, Chief Byun, good morning.

Are you experiencing any trouble at work?

What? Of course not.

How can there be a problem when our chief

looks after us so dearly?

You never know, so please ask the employees

if there are any problems and relay them to me.

Got it. Have a good day then.

You too. Gangsu Cleaning...

-Go, go! -Let's go.

-Good morning. -Goodness.

-Hello. -Good morning.

Doors opening.

Wu-seong!

Why aren't you getting on?

This elevator is reserved for executives, Mr. Byun.

That's absurd. Just get in, everyone.

Hurry up.

I see. Thank you then. Guys, come on.

-Thank you. -Thank you, Mr. Byun.

-Thank you. -Thank you so much.

-Sorry, Director Byun. -We're sorry.

Thank you, Director Byun.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Gosh.

-Hello. -Good morning.

Mr. Byun!

No special treatment for executives in parking lots, elevators, or the cafeteria.

The executives will oppose it.

I'll handle that in the meeting,

so just focus on what we can implement.

Understood, sir. Is there anything else you want me to do?

Coordinate with Ms. An and see if our cleaning staff are happy.

-Yes, sir. And you mentioned earlier-- -The meal tickets.

-That's right. -For the cleaning staff.

GO

GO CLUB

Why not?

Why can't you do it? Why?

Whatever the reason was,

it doesn't change the fact that I betrayed you.

So how could I possibly go back to the company?

I thought you said it wasn't a betrayal.

You wanted to prove

how my ways were wrong, so why not?

Do you admit that you were wrong then?

I mean, well...

I need to take responsibility for the outcome, don't I?

And someone needs to get the company back on track.

We can't afford to leave your post unattended like this.

Do you trust me, sir?

Mr. Seol, I know very well that you aren't fond of me.

But...

how can I not trust the love you have for the company?

So don't think about running away,

and go be the control tower that Gangsu needs.

All right?

We're done here.

Damn it, it's cold. At least get me a toasty floor.

This is discrimination, you know.

I want newly painted walls and a brand-new mattress too!

We're all criminals here, so don't discriminate!

I want a new room. Get me a new room!

Shut it!

What? A change of residence?

Where they both currently reside...

What about that place?

The location itself isn't bad,

but there's a huge obstacle in the way.

In order for them to finally get together,

they must live someplace else.

Live someplace else?

Yes!

Employee stock ownership plan?

Those are some big words.

Simply put, the company puts its stocks on the market

and the employees can acquire as much as they want through funding.

They also come with the right to vote.

So the employees who own them can be involved in management.

That's the core of it.

They could also appoint people on the board as well.

Sounds good. This is exactly what I wanted.

Have the chairman sign off on it,

and we'll soon implement it.

I'm glad I offered you this job.

How do you like your work at the Financial Department?

I've been having a blast.

This is the new rice bowl designed by the Planning Department.

Don't tell me you're about to hit another home run.

Let me see.

How is it?

It's incredible.

The main ingredient is smoked duck. Aren't the flavors clean?

These would fly off the shelves if we released them today.

Really?

Let me try some too.

-I didn't even have to swallow it. -Isn't it perfectly seasoned?

Welcome.

I'll take this.

This too.

And this.

Thank you.

-Thank you. Have a good day. -Thank you.

It looks even better when put on.

Which one should I try on?

Have a good day.

-Hyuk? -Jun, what are you up to?

-I'm working, of course. -When do you get off?

-Why do you ask? -Can you hang out with me?

Do you have the time?

No, I have too much work to do.

I tell others to get off work on time, but here I'm working late every day.

How is this fair?

High-ranking positions come with greater responsibility.

So I was wondering if you could come over.

I'd love to see you.

Here are the credit card receipts and evaluation of the stores.

STORE EVALUATION

The rest of your pay will be made after we check the evaluation sheet.

Sure. Thank you. Have a good day.

Ta-da! Hi, Jun.

Ms. Jung,

what brings you here?

I asked Hyuk where you've been working part-time lately.

Are you done for that day?

-Yes. -Then, let's go.

I have somewhere to go with you.

Come on!

I heard these taste amazing.

You have no idea how much Hyuk's been bragging.

I've been dying to enjoy this with you.

It might not be what you like. Will it be okay?

Would it be that nasty?

Since you're here, you should try it, though.

It's packed with collagen, which is good for your skin.

-Is that so? -Here you go.

-Try one. -Let me see.

How is it?

The gummy texture makes it feel like my skin is getting tighter.

Would you like some soju with it?

Sounds good.

What a perfect combination.

Thank you.

For what?

For not treating me any differently

when it must be hard to even look at me.

Of course I thought about that too,

but there's nothing for you to feel sorry about.

Mistakes were made,

so leave it to the parents to feel guilty.

I don't know about the fancy words like eradication of corruption,

but Gang-su does need to reflect on what he's done wrong.

He's committed countless wrongdoings.

If that can allow

his children to live a better life in the future,

he should endure the punishment.

Isn't that the greatest gift that parents can give to their child?

But I will be upset

if you keep your distance from Hyuk because of this.

Don't.

All right?

Okay.

By the way, do you perhaps have any plans to move from where you live?

How did you know that? I was thinking about it.

Where? Have you decided on a location?

Where will you be going?

I'll let you know once things are final.

-Promise me. -I will.

They're all done now.

Hyuk.

Hyuk?

Hi, Jun.

Hi.

You must have a lot of work left.

Yes.

Five more minutes.

It's about time you came back to work.

I haven't made up my mind yet, sir.

I don't even know why I should go back

to Gangsu Group either.

There's something you wanted to do at Gangsu Group.

Come back and work on that.

No matter how hard I think, no one but you is perfect for the job.

I came to see you at this late hour so that I wouldn't lose a valuable asset.

You're not going to disappoint me, are you?

It's small, old, and at a terrible location.

Kwon Je-hun?

I was thinking about moving here.

I have feelings for you.

Do you have any regret?

I regret...

not properly answering you

when you told me you liked me.

I was too nervous and acted like a complete fool.

I also regret...

never correcting what I said.

YOUR SELECTED FLIGHT INFORMATION

Where will you stop over?

From what I gather, London has the shortest layover.

I think I'll go with that.

So you're finally going.

Yes.

Give me a second. This is a historic moment.

BOOKING

Here I go. Wait for it.

BOOKING

BOOKING CONFIRMED

I booked my flight!

My gosh.

INCHEON - LONDON - OSLO

Congratulations, Jun.

Gosh, thanks.

Let me know the date so that I can see you off.

Got it. Have a safe flight.

Sure.

INCHEON - LONDON - OSLO

BYUN HYUK

MS. BAEK

What are you doing?

DECORATE IN BLUE, JUN'S FAVORITE COLOR

A party to celebrate your 180th day?

Yes, it's been 180 days since Jun and I met.

I didn't want to wait for our 200th day, so I'm celebrating in advance.

Only 180 days?

That's how long you've known each other?

What's with that response?

I've known her for eight years.

That's about 3,000 days, right?

How long you knew someone isn't important, you know.

It sure is.

Knowing someone for long means you know a lot about them.

Is that so? You think you know a lot about Jun?

-Cheesecake. -Oh, dear.

Jun hates cheesecake.

Then what kind of cake does she like?

-I don't want to tell you. -Hey.

Do you know her favorite color?

-Blue. -Prussian blue.

Hold on. Are you her stalker or something?

We've shared moments that you'd never know about.

Does this mean he still hasn't given her up?

Why would I give her up?

-Is there a reason I have to? -What?

Our friendship is one thing, but being with Jun is another.

Still, this isn't appropriate.

Two friends shouldn't fight over one woman.

Then as my friend, can you give Jun up for me?

Never.

Likewise. So don't let your guard down.

Je-hun, let's get going.

Jun, where are you going on a Sunday?

Je-hun and I have plans.

What? With Je-hun?

Je-hun, you didn't mention this.

Actually, I did. I told you not to let your guard down.

-Let's get going then. -Okay.

Bye, Hyuk.

Cheesecake...

May I take a look?

You finally made it big.

-What do you think? Is it good? -Yes, this place's great.

It's in a good location, and proper materials were used.

The layout is sweet as well.

I knew it was a good call to bring you here.

Of course.

You can't dismiss my years of experience working at construction sites.

Are you really going to move here?

Yes, there's no reason for me to live there anymore.

Why would I live there if you were not around?

Didn't you know or are you playing dumb with me?

I moved there because of you.

The building is old and doesn't offer easy parking,

so why would I have lived there?

Je-hun, I--

You don't have to say anything.

I didn't tell you to force an answer from you.

I knew I'd regret it

if I didn't tell you what I'd been feeling for eight years,

so there's no need to answer.

Where is this place that they secretly need to visit?

Je-hun, it's me.

What are you up to?

Mind your own business and get back to work.

By the way, when will you come back to the company?

Do I have to?

Thanks to all the free time I have, I get to hang out with Jun.

Je-hun!

What...

How did I become the only one to have a standard job?

-Was it Hyuk? -Yes.

Are you really going to go?

I booked my ticket last night.

How long will you stay there?

I'm thinking about...

staying for about a year.

Who goes on a trip for a year?

What are you planning on doing?

I want to experience the world I never knew about.

I'm going to eat every dish the world has to offer.

I must be my dad's daughter for sure. I've been interested in food lately.

What you're planning will cost a fortune.

Don't you know me? I'm a master of part-time jobs.

I'll get a few jobs there and earn the money I need.

That sounds like a perfect plan for you.

So what comes next?

Afterwards?

I'll think of it then.

Even I don't know how my life will turn out, you know.

I've finally figured out how meaningless it is

to settle on a path in advance.

I think you should tell Hyuk now.

I should.

But I don't know how.

Since I don't know when I'll come back.

He has his own life to think about, right?

Jun, Je-hun,

why aren't you back yet? You're making me nervous.

Gosh, it's freezing.

Cheol-min, which do you prefer? The head or the tail?

I don't mind, as long as it's from you.

-Really? -Yes.

-Is it good? -It is.

Hyuk, what are you doing out in the cold?

I'm just getting some fresh air.

You look lonely for some reason.

Nonsense. I'm not lonely at all.

Isn't Jun home yet?

Je-hun's car wasn't in the parking lot.

Are they perhaps together?

I see she hasn't made her choice yet.

-That's not the case. -Whatever.

It's cold, so let's head inside.

-Are you cold, my Yeon-hui? -Yes.

Then you should head inside. Get in here.

Gosh, don't be silly. Let's go.

Hyuk, good luck.

Good luck.

What is it? Say what you want to say.

I don't want to look like a petty guy.

I'm dying to know what you did with Jun today,

but I won't ask.

Because I trust Jun.

-What about me? -You?

You're not someone I can trust anymore, but I still trust Jun.

Sure. Be that way, then.

By the way, I start working again tomorrow.

Really? Where?

You can't win against the world only with anger or hatred.

I want to do work that excites me.

And in that sense, today is my true first day at work.

I wasn't expecting this.

How can we not celebrate your first day as general manager?

Of course we should welcome you.

Congratulations.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations, Mr. Kwon!

Here.

I look forward to working with you again, Manager Kwon.

Me too, Mr. Yang.

-I'm glad you're back. -Thank you, Mr. Seol.

Going off a beaten path makes you a loser,

and falling behind others makes you a failure.

That's what people have told me.

But I never walked the path that others took,

so I could do everything I wanted.

Now, I'll travel the big world and find a new part of myself in it.

My path is mine to design.

-Sorry I'm late. -It's fine.

How does it feel to be back at work after a while?

You know how it is.

Why are you alone, though? Isn't Hyuk coming?

Did you tell him?

Yes, I did.

By the way, I start working again tomorrow.

Really? Where?

At Gangsu Group.

For real? That's great!

Gangsu Group is definitely the place for you.

And Jun's leaving.

What do you mean?

Jun's leaving the country. She already booked a flight.

He didn't come even though you told him?

He must be quite upset.

Hyuk.

Are you just getting back?

Yes.

Sorry I didn't tell you.

Do you even mean that?

Of course I do.

That's why I couldn't tell you in the first place.

-So you leave tomorrow? -Yes.

Have a good time then.

Hyuk!

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you a lot.

-Did you check in your luggage? -Of course.

Have a good time and stay safe.

You take care of yourself, Mom. I'll call often.

Me too.

You have to call me often too. Okay?

Okay, I will. Take care.

Gosh, this is so sad.

I already miss you, you know.

Not as much as me, though.

You make too much of a fuss of things, you know that?

Goodness.

She's misinterpreting my sincerity again.

How else would I put it when I'll really miss her?

Guys,

are you seriously going to fight when I'm about to leave?

Anyway, I wish you both well.

And try to get along with each other.

I'll get going now.

Sure, you should go now.

Have a safe trip.

What...

-Have a safe trip. -Bye, Mom.

Sure.

-Bye. -Get going.

I'll get going then. Bye!

-Bye, Mom. -Bye.

Don't skip any meals, okay? I'll call often.

Bye, Mom.

Bye, guys!

I know a place that serves delicious pork rinds.

Pork rinds?

Call me if you want to drink.

We'll share a bottle and miss Jun together.

Why would I ever drink with you?

You could start off by giving me your number.

Do you like soju?

Have a safe trip.

I will. Take care, Je-hun.

Did you say goodbye to Hyuk?

No.

He won't answer my calls. I think he's super mad.

Keep calling, though.

You should at least say goodbye.

You're right, but...

Anyway, I wish you well, Je-hun.

I hope you're successful in everything you do.

You sound like you're leaving forever.

Just know that I'll go to you if I miss you too much.

Sure, sounds good.

Bye.

KWON JE-HUN

BYUN HYUK

BYUN HYUK

Hyuk?

My gosh, Jun.

Is this your flight too?

No way. What a coincidence!

-What the heck are you doing here? -Me?

I'm going on a trip

-to see an aurora. -What?

I'm going to taste all the food the world has to offer too.

But Hyuk...

But I never imagined

I'd be sitting next to you on the same flight.

What...

Did you just scoff?

Believe me when I say I never looked at your ticket.

And I didn't pull any strings to book the seat next to yours.

See?

As I told you, you and I are meant to be together.

Fate will link us together forever.

The moment you called my name

was when I was finally able to become myself.

Wherever you go, I will be there for you.

Because that is now my purpose in life.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING REVOLUTIONARY LOVE
