DECEMBER, 2010

This is Ms. Na Jung-sun who's assigned to our team.

Let's introduce ourselves later.

Mr. Park, hand over the tasks Ms. Seo-hee did.

Okay.

I look forward to working with you.

Maybe

it started the day we first met.

He was hard-working...

polite...

and a reticent man.

How could you let this happen?

You should've paid more attention.

So many people are suffering from your mistake!

He wasn't really kind.

Thank you.

But he was a warm-hearted man.

So your job here is

to discuss with the PR team and...

Are you not writing down?

I won't repeat it.

Okay.

You want me to cooperate with the PR team for the event.

I've done that before, so I know the process.

I'll refer to the existing format and check anything unusual.

Does your girlfriend like this kind of event?

Why do you ask that?

Our targeting group is female.

It'd be nice to hear some general opinions.

You have none.

I...

liked him.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

How could you get the date wrong?

What to do with 10,000 copies of the initial print?

Are you going to take responsibility for the printing costs?

I apologize, sir.

I'll fix it by attaching date stickers later today.

Can't you do this small thing?

Mess up your first job like this.

How can I entrust you in the future?

-I apologize. -If one of the copies goes wrong

and a customer complains,

you're done.

Leave.

Hey.

Seo-hee brought the draft to get it confirmed

and Ms. Na had it printed.

She's just falsely charged with it.

He's always out in the sauna and just signs the papers.

-He never knows what's going on. -I know.

I feel pity for Jung-sun.

I thought you were off home after working outside.

Well, I left some paper works.

Have you been working all along?

There are about 1,000 copies left.

I think I can get it done before one.

Did you do it all by yourself?

Everyone helped me and just left.

I could do this much myself.

I can't let them become working zombies.

Let me see.

Do I put...

these cover-up tapes here?

You don't have to.

You have a meeting early tomorrow morning.

It should end by midnight if I help.

If you insist

I will accept your goodwill.

Don't you think this is unfair?

I know this isn't your fault.

It is unfair.

I almost cried because I felt it was so unfair earlier today.

Why didn't you say so?

Even if I had explained...

he would've said female employees are irresponsible

and busy making excuses.

I'm familiar with his hatred towards female employees.

Leaving the process aside,

I am in charge of it now, so it is my responsibility.

It's not too late to argue after everything is settled.

Wasn't I so cool just now?

Let's just get this done.

I think you kind of fell in love with me.

Am I right?

Move your hands.

I haven't found out this until later...

that he avoids

people's eyes when he lies.

MAYBE ANOTHER DAY

I'M GOING HOME.

MY LOVE

ANSWERING THE CALL

Hello?

Where are you, honey?

The vice president got quite drunk.

I'm leaving now.

Are you still with him?

Yes.

Honey.

It's almost over.

You must be tired. Don't wait up.

Explain

about this situation.

Are you really having an affair?

Just say no and I'll trust you.

-Jung-sun. -I'll trust you so deny it.

It's over.

Jung-sun.

I should go home.

Jung-sun.

I need to go home.

Jung-sun.

Let's talk this out.

Jung-sun.

Open the door.

Jung-sun.

Please talk to me.

Slow down.

Slow down, Jung-sun!

Are you crazy?

You want to kill yourself, do it somewhere else.

As long as I'm here, you can't.

I'm sorry. I'll be careful.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

You can go back now.

I'm fine.

Never ride a bike when agitated.

Go back.

No.

Why does everyone I love...

end up leaving me?

I was sure that he would never leave me.

You're a fool.

Why would you put faith in a person?

You'd rather put faith in those seagulls.

I know, right?

Why did I do that?

-Don't tell dad. -I won't.

Darn, that brat.

It's all right.

That won't kill you.

Won't it?

Just the thought of him seeing another woman...

suffocates me and drives me crazy.

I shouldn't have seen it.

I was wrong to follow him there.

When there's pus

it's bound to burst.

I'm scared.

I'm scared I might lose him.

What should I do now?

What should I do?

I don't know what to say for now.

-Jung-sun. -Stay in the study for a while.

Don't let the colleagues know.

There were times when I thought

my love was special.

I believed my love was special enough...

to fill the cracks of a broken piece.

I didn't realize

that one small crack leads

to an even bigger crack.

Good morning.

-Good morning. -Hello.

Are you sick?

I didn't sleep well.

Everyone got home safe after the dinner out?

I was lucky I went home early.

Those who went to the third bar drank until 2:00 a.m.

And it was even raining.

Was it raining?

We don't live far from each other.

It didn't rain.

-Ms. Song, did you move out? -No.

I took the cab behind yours.

Your cab took the opposite way out of Dongjak, so I thought you moved.

I left something in the restaurant, so I went back.

What did you leave behind?

Pardon?

It was late at night.

You should've asked them to keep it for you.

It was my phone.

Yes.

We had dinner there last week.

Yes, Sungun Department Store.

Was there any phone we left there?

There wasn't?

Was there

someone who came back for a phone?

So there wasn't.

Okay. Thanks, bye.

Please go to W Hotel.

We have a troublesome case.

BUSINESS PLAN

Her name is Cha Se-rin.

She has the Black Diamond membership

which is the highest rank in our store.

She purchased about a billion won last year

which is about 10 percent of our sales among the Black Diamond members.

She's a YouTube star.

Her videos are mainly about designer label haul videos.

She has over two million subscribers.

She's the hottest YouTuber in the Korean fashion scene.

The Di Amor haul video uploaded last month reached

three million views in less than a week it was released.

Hello, this is Se-rin.

Today, I have what you've all been waiting for.

That's right. I shopped 15 million won of Di Amor products.

She's also the CEO of a well-known online shopping mall.

She started the business when she was in high school

as her family was poor.

Her mall now sells 100 billion won a year.

The success story of a 28-year-old high school graduate

is stimulating people's curiosity more.

Here's the problem.

She told us

that she'd like to upload a video of the trunk show on her channel.

But it's confidential and it's not open to the public.

But in this case, the marketing

will have huge impact on our customer base.

Open to what extent?

Everything.

She gave conditions on her full authority in editing.

We get to select the items

and she wants to review them honestly as she prefers.

If our products are criticized

it could be disadvantageous for us.

As it's a special video

she intends to raise her amount of purchase.

The expected sales are

-500 million won. -500 million won?

I think

we should do this.

There's a high chance a Black Diamond member like her

will be a VIP customer in other department stores.

If we don't do it, another store will.

Exactly.

Discuss it with Ms. Kang first.

Ms. Na and Ms. Lee summarize it for me.

We'll report to the vice president.

Okay.

Yes.

Mr. Park.

The design team sent us the poster draft this morning.

-Bring it to my desk. -Okay.

Yu-ri.

Can you do a background check on Cha Se-rin?

News articles, YouTube, and TV shows.

Search everything you can.

Okay.

It's better we get started beforehand, right?

Yes, let's do that.

It's already been a year since the VIP team

has separated from the marketing team.

They haven't made any better results.

They're rather focused on attracting young customers.

Even the existing customers complain.

You must wait at least two or three years for visible effects.

The sales amount is the same.

The market share's increased.

Attracting young customers is of no use.

They spend less than half the amount those middle-aged customers spend.

Consumers in their 20s and 30s are currently on a sharp rise.

Most of all, it's outdated and off the trend

to target only those VIPs

who play an important role in our sales.

-What? Outdated? -Forget it.

Let's wait and watch a little more.

Mr. Ha

has a point, though.

You'd better prove it with numbers.

Yes, sir.

What an actor.

That was so natural.

I almost got fooled.

It's the data about Cha you asked.

I printed all the information I found online.

Is this a figure illustrated book?

Pardon?

I don't have that much time to kill.

Do it again.

Yes, ma'am.

Maximum, ten pages.

Pardon?

Don't make it more than ten pages.

Okay.

Organize the information on her shopping preferences only.

Okay.

Who is Ms. Na Jung-sun?

That'd be her.

It's from Mr. Park Sung-jun.

Why is it that someone else's anniversary comes so often?

Mr. Park is so romantic every year unlike how he looks.

Let's proceed with our project on Ms. Cha.

-Please get things ready. -Yes, sir.

What is it?

What?

You've been looking dazed all day long today.

It's just that I'm not feeling well.

I see.

Hyun-a.

Never mind.

What was that?

You're silly.

-I need to go to the toilet. -Okay.

See you tomorrow.

-Good work today. -Goodbye.

OCTOBER, 2013

I can't believe this happening

on our first anniversary.

-You're the best. -Goodness.

You're amazing, sir.

I've been living hard.

They're so excited.

All right.

Ms. Na, sing a song.

I have a sore throat today.

Come on.

You're the best singer in our team.

-Sir, I will-- -I will...

do it.

You will?

What a surprise. You never sing.

All right, go for it.

I'm getting sober now that we're walking.

I didn't know you are

a very good singer.

What?

It got ruined.

Did you carry it all along?

Sorry.

I'll get prettier ones next time.

Don't.

These are pretty.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I ask for your continuous support.

What's the reason?

When...

did it start?

It was like an accident.

The more you find out...

the more you will get hurt.

Now you care about my feelings?

If that's the case, you should've denied it no matter what.

I tried to do that...

no matter what.

I tried to do so.

But...

you kept asking me

and I couldn't...

keep deceiving you.

Do I know this person?

No.

I want her to die.

I want both you and that woman to die.

I know I don't deserve to say this.

Just...

let me apologize to you and pay for my sins

for the rest of my life.

Jung-sun.

Can't you give me one more chance?

I don't want...

to lose you this way.

You already did.

SUNGUN DEPARTMENT STORE

Hello.

Hi.

Mr. Cha, you're here.

You haven't met Mr. Cha before, right?

This is manager Lee Hyun-a.

She took a break and got back last month.

This is assistant manager Cha.

While you were on a break, he joined the PR team.

He takes care of our team. You'll see him often.

-It's nice to meet you. I'm Lee Hyun-a. -It's you, right?

You know the last time...

Where was this?

In the elevator!

Do you know each other?

No.

I think he mistook me for someone else.

Shall we go?

I apologize.

Mr. Park.

Let's talk later.

CONFERENCE ROOM 3

Please take care of it by next week.

You look worn today.

Is he not taking care of you?

Sorry.

I made you flustered the last time.

You should've told me you missed me.

I'll give you a call

in private.

That day

I was drunk and crossed the line.

Mr. Cha, by any chance...

-It's Mr. Park. -Answer it.

Hello?

Ms. Lee.

-The list of new products you asked for. -Thank you.

Anything else to say?

Ms. Lee, can't you leave the backup work for the trunk show to Sang-woo and Yu-ri?

I'm in charge of the goods exhibition

after the trunk show.

Since when were you this picky about your job?

No offense.

It's a big event, so I really want to pull it off.

I think Sang-woo and Yu-ri can handle the backup work.

You really want a promotion.

The show must succeed in order for the exhibition to exist.

You want me to supervise the newbies

while taking care of the event.

That's not going to happen.

You either do both...

or if that's too hard

you hand over the exhibition.

I'm sorry. I made a mistake.

I summarized it into ten pages as you said.

Thank you.

Do you want to manage

the leaflet for the event?

Me?

Look at the previous samples

and try making a draft.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Actually, backing up doesn't count as a personal performance.

I'm afraid I won't be able to show my good work performance

doing the backup work.

You may already know this.

I really need to get promoted this year.

I'll talk to Ms. Lee first.

Thank you.

Mi-na.

Did Mr. Park ever ask you to do anything in private?

Not that I remember.

A few days ago

you had a private meeting with him.

No, I didn't.

Let's go inside.

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, no. Are you okay?

It isn't hot. I'm fine.

-Go wash up. -Okay.

MR. PARK SUNG-JUN

Luckily, I didn't spill that much.

Here.

You've got a call.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Hello?

She's here.

She's here!

Cha Se-rin, the VIP came without prior notice. What do I do?

Do I tell her to go back? We haven't decided yet.

Bring her to the conference room.

All right. Gosh.

I own the copyright.

You use the video for promotional purpose.

What are the terms of the contract?

We'll reflect the market value.

Our legal team will review it.

Whenever it's ready, we'll send you the contract.

As I said earlier

I want full authority in editing.

Even though you don't like the content of the video

you have no choice.

We understand.

This is the list of products for the show.

I thought it'd be good for you to take a look beforehand.

-Will you be okay with this? -Pardon?

I'm going to be honest about the products I don't like.

Will you be okay with this?

It's an initial list.

We keep it updated whenever we can.

Your target audience are teens to the 20s.

We'll select more newtro-style casual clothes than formal ones.

We'll prepare styles that are trending overseas

such as tie-dyed T-shirts or bike shorts.

Why don't we display them

with items popular every season like ugly sneakers?

She's got the hang of it.

Please get everything ready so I can spend all the money I plan to.

I don't want the fun to be spoiled for the big event.

Of course.

She's very bossy.

The conference room was icy-cold.

That young lady runs a giant business. She's no ordinary person.

I didn't know Ms. Lee was that good.

Very impressive.

-That tiny little brat. -Ms. Kang.

Yes.

If she rejects our products in the video

it will cause quite damage to us.

Update the list based on customers' preference.

All right, sir.

Please look into it, Ms. Lee.

Okay.

This is so embarrassing.

You could have told me earlier!

She came in all of a sudden.

She's well aware of teens' preference

for designer labels.

You were born rich, I see.

Mr. Park is about to eat me alive.

He almost had the laser eyes on me.

The board has its eyes on this.

I knew this would be troublesome.

I had a bad feeling.

Are we having

the worst year ever?

Ms. Lee!

How did this happen?

"Repeated coincidence becomes fate."

I'm so amazed right now.

We bumped into each other twice by chance.

The third encounter is definitely fate.

Since you pretend ignorance, I'll say it's the second.

I can always make another fate.

Hey, you're very aggressive.

I told you I'm not interested in games with a low probability.

-You do remember. -When I say no

you should understand it that way.

Flirt with me in the office once more.

I'll sue you for sexual harassment.

If you don't want to embarrass yourself

stop messing

with me.

This is bad.

She's so attractive.

I'm off to the agency meeting.

Call me if anything urgent comes up.

Sure.

Isn't that meeting tomorrow?

I have a meeting with the advertising team.

Please excuse me.

OCTOBER 16TH, NO MEETINGS

I'll be out for a moment.

TAXI AVAILABLE

What brings you here, Ms. Na?

I saw you

on my way out.

It's my turn to pick up kids from preschool this week.

So I called a helper,

but she suddenly called in and couldn't make it today.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to bother you with such things when you were busy.

I'm sorry.

I envy you and Mr. Park sometimes.

You two always look full of confidence.

I don't think I make either a good mom or a good employee.

I'm trying so hard to be good at both.

It's all a mess.

Everyone has their own burden, I guess.

Hello?

Honey.

I'm having dinner with my colleagues today.

So what?

You said you'll go home early today because I have to work overtime.

Right.

But all teams will be there. They want me to be there too.

I need to get my work done by today.

The babysitter is getting off. Do you want the kids alone?

Just this once, please.

Okay. I'll be there soon.

Honey, I have to go now. Please understand.

Sorry.

Yes!

The phone is turned off. You'll be directed to voicemail.

Goodness.

Mr. Park.

The agency has called and promised to revise the proposal,

send it by tomorrow.

Okay.

I have something to ask you.

You said it's over.

That it's someone I don't know.

Is there anything else that I should be aware of?

I'm asking if there's anything more to put me down.

No.

There better be not.

If not, I'll never be able to forgive you.

Never ever bring it up.

Live as if nothing happened.

I'll do the same.

I'll try to forgive you.

I'm not sure if I can though.

I'll probably struggle to death...

countless times like hell.

I'm still going to try.

I'll trust you one last time.

Jung-sun.

Don't betray me ever again.

Were you waiting for me?

Yes.

Take a seat.

Okay.

What's wrong? You're scaring me.

-Honey. -Yes?

-I can't do this anymore. -What?

I'm leaving.

What?

Mi-na.

Mi-na.

Mi-na, open the door.

Mi-na.

Mi-na.

MR. PARK SUNG-JUN

Mi-na.

Open the door.

Mi-na.

Mi-na.

I'VE MADE UP MY MIND.

THANKS. I ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUOUS SUPPORT.

It's different from before.

-Something is broken. -Split up then.

If things go well, you'll be on the board.

Don't cause any trouble.

Can you track down a text?

-It's what I think it is? -I need to put it back.

Everyone has their place.

I was over the line.

The user of the computer who texted...

What?
