ALL NAMES, GROUPS, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

What happens

if Se-yeon chooses to go another way?

That won't happen.

Sorry?

Poverty leaves you with fewer options.

By the way,

there's something I've been wanting to know.

Why did you name your company Silver Lining?

There were no interviews about it.

The silver edge lining of clouds.

A gleam of hope in the darkness.

It doesn't suit the image

of an IT company.

Have you watched The Terminator?

The Terminator.

Okay. Keep the questions coming.

It is predicted

that 47 percent of jobs could be lost due to AI.

Furthermore, there is a fear that one day,

AI will go out of control and threaten humans.

What are your opinions about these problems?

BASED ON WEBTOON UNLOCK THE BOSS (UNLOCK MY BOSS) BY PARK SEONG-HYUN

You're probably worried that we'll face a future like we see in The Terminator.

The advent

of superintelligent and autonomous AI

will pose a threat to

not just certain individuals, but to all Homo sapiens.

They will become smarter and stronger than humans.

In that case, regardless of our permission,

AI will end up changing the world however they want.

Because…

that's what humans have been doing as well.

At the prospect of this dark and murky future,

thinking that we'd need a silver lining,

CEO Kim Seon-ju chose Silver Lining

as the name of his company.

And as the new CEO, who has been entrusted with his mission,

I promise

that Silver Lining's technology

will always put humans first.

Mr. Oh.

Great work today.

I'm sorry.

Take care

and send my regards to Director Park.

I was worried you would get an earful.

What a relief.

What are you saying?

Bumyoung Electronics could pull all their advertisements.

Are you serious?

Though rather abrupt, it was a meaningful event.

Family is "sikgu."

Sik, as in "eating," and gu, as in "the mouth."

People who eat together.

Now, I feel like I'm a part of the Bumyoung family.

Thanks to you,

I left a good first impression as the CEO of Silver Lining.

I will make sure to repay you for your kindness.

Are you threatening me right now?

-Mr. Oh. -A lot of people are watching.

Why did Mr. Kim meet Mr. Kwak privately?

What was he thinking?

I know I shouldn't,

but I can't help doubting.

Hello?

Someone would mistake you for a real CEO.

I'm sorry.

I just added a few things on top of what you told me.

Mr. Park.

If you give me a strike for this, it's unfair.

Mr. Oh plunged my earbud, so I had no choice.

Why do you keep making excuses?

Only Kim Gun-mo was able to succeed with his song, "Excuses."

Sorry?

You don't have to make excuses. You did great.

You looked like the real CEO.

Was that a compliment?

You know how to compliment others?

Hello?

Who?

You and I have something in common.

I heard you collected everyone's phones during the meeting.

Yes, I did.

That's right. Phones these days are basically wiretapping devices.

You can understand, right?

Kim Seon-ju's pick.

I was wondering

what kind of person you were.

I could tell after watching the press conference.

I couldn't have done anything without--

You must communicate a lot with Mr. Kim.

Well, yes.

So that's why you said everything, exactly like Kim Seon-ju told me.

As if he wrote you a script or something.

What's wrong?

Did he not tell you that I would say something like this?

What do you mean?

I mean, you said you communicate a lot with Mr. Kim, so…

I don't know what he promised you

before making you the interim CEO,

but don't trust him too much.

Why do you say that?

Kim Seon-ju only cares about himself.

He didn't even keep the promise he made to me.

That was just

a piece of advice for a new CEO, from a senior in the industry.

Did she leave?

Yes, just now.

What did she say?

Just…

A piece of advice as a senior in the industry.

That's it?

Yes.

Mr. Oh plotted such a scheme?

Ms. Jung, did you find anything in Mr. Kwak's car?

Mr. Kwak

met someone near the golf course that day.

Who is it?

You.

-Me? -Me?

Mr. Kim Seon-ju.

He met me?

I don't remember at all, and we're not that close.

I cloned the SD card.

I really did meet Mr. Kwak.

Did you find anything else?

No, I didn't.

His destination after the golf course was the third Chungbuk redevelopment site.

That means Mr. Kwak

went there after meeting Mr. Kim.

3RD CHUNGBUK REDEVELOPMENT SITE

Don't trust him too much.

What?

Gosh, that's hot!

Did you watch this all night?

You're going to make the phone burst.

You can end up killing yourself.

Also, staring at the same footage

won't make something pop up out of nowhere.

Hard work may betray you,

but laziness will never betray you.

That is why "lazy" is not in my vocabulary.

Are you an electronic dictionary?

You're always talking about your vocabulary.

That scared me.

Min-a, you should knock before entering.

-Sorry? -Yes.

I thought I heard Dad's voice.

Well, I was just

calling a friend.

You must have misheard.

Did you not go to kindergarten today?

Today's Sunday.

I'll knock from now on.

Min-a, wait.

Min-a.

I'll retie your hair for you.

Turn around.

Hey, Min-a.

Do you want me to show you something cool?

What is it?

To be honest,

I'm a magician.

I'm telling the truth. Here.

Abracadabra.

Ta-da!

How did you do that?

Do you want to play with me today?

Let's go.

Come on.

What should we do?

Min-a, go bring me another book.

One, two, three.

-We did it! -We did it!

It's done, Min-a. Good job.

I think it's even taller than me.

Which finger?

-This one. -Wrong.

Again.

Which finger?

This one.

Good job.

Enjoy.

It looks delicious.

Min-a, look at this.

What is it?

Do you want to see something fun?

It's a caterpillar. I want to try.

You want to try it?

Here.

Who taught you how to do all of this?

What do you think? Isn't it incredible?

Baro, do you know how to do magic?

If there is a spell that can make you happy,

I would like to learn.

Why are you so sweet?

Baro.

Goodness.

Goodness.

That's not enough to dislocate my shoulder.

Aren't you going out to weed?

I said I would.

Do you want to go together?

The show's about to start.

Right. You should watch it.

Even though it aired yesterday and it'll air tomorrow.

Harry Potter.

You're the only one I have.

My Harry Potter.

I've never seen that car before.

Did the village head get a new car?

What the…

I ran for no reason.

Third Chungbuk redevelopment site.

You've arrived at your destination.

Ending route guidance.

3RD CHUNGBUK REDEVELOPMENT SITE

Mr. Kwak came here after meeting Mr. Kim.

But why…

What?

Oh Mi-ran?

I'm contemplating whether I should

build an apartment complex or a domed stadium.

Building a domed stadium is my dream.

But the majority opinion is for an apartment complex,

so I'm on the fence.

What would you build?

I doubt Mr. Park sent his assistant to find land for sale.

You came to find me on your own, right?

Mr. Park…

is staying at Mr. Kim's house.

That's the reason you're here?

To tell me that?

Pardon?

"Mr. Park has Kim Seon-ju's phone."

That's the least you could do.

You must be on the fence like me.

Some say this is the perfect spot for an art museum.

Because there's nothing better than colorful paintings to hide black money.

An art museum is so random though.

Don't you think?

Who was…

the person Mr. Kwak was here to see?

On top of a no man's land like this,

my brother and I

founded Bumyoung Construction,

established Bumyoung Electronics,

and set up Bumyoung Motor Group.

That is why I'm always grateful to my father.

Bumyoung was named after the "Bum" in Oh Bum-geun

and the "Young" in my name, Oh Young-geun.

You're just talking about the past again.

If you only have the past to brag about, that's a bit sad.

Then what did you do to deserve that position?

Rather than what I've done,

try to look at what I'm capable of doing.

This is my modest advice.

What can someone like you do?

Okay. Let's say you become the Chairwoman.

Once you get married,

the descendants of Bumyoung will no longer carry the surname Oh.

I am going to protect Bumyoung.

Your antiquated way of thinking

is what makes you underqualified for the Vice Chairman position.

What?

So long as I live, until dirt gets in my eyes--

Gosh. What?

I told you to look at what I'm capable of doing, didn't I?

That little…

It was stifling, wasn't it?

She's seven, but her stamina is just…

She should become an athlete.

Kim Yuna, Kim Yeon-koung, and Kim Min-a?

Good work.

I will give you overtime pay for playing with Min-a today.

Don't mention it.

I had a lot on my mind today.

It was fun.

Also,

is that your way of expressing gratitude?

"Good work"?

Thank you.

Complimenting me and expressing gratitude?

You know they say a sudden change of attitude foreshadows one's death.

Oh, no! Mr. Kim…

Mr. Kim?

Darn it.

Mr. Kim?

Will that fix it?

Why don't you just visit

Bumyoung Electronics' service center tomorrow?

What if I miss the golden time?

The golden time?

It's not like the phone is a person.

If it's broken, you can just buy a new one.

You're the CEO.

But there's…

There's…

something that lives inside.

-Your game character? -Something…

I need to have with me.

There must be pictures of his ex.

How loving.

In-seong, what's wrong?

I'm sorry, Min-a.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

CUSTOMER WAITING ROOM

-Welcome. -Hello.

I'm here to repair my phone.

You may head inside for phones.

Okay.

BUMYOUNG ELECTRONICS SERVICE

Move out of the way!

I am in charge of TVs.

Phone!

Yes, this way.

Phone!

Yes, Doctor.

Please save my phone.

Yes, sir. I'll try my best.

Please help me out.

Excuse me.

If you're conscious, please turn on your flashlight.

My gosh.

Hold on.

That's the butt.

I see.

What did you say?

You dropped Mr. Kim in the…

You dropped his phone into that bowl?

It wasn't a number two though.

What did the service center say?

It'll take some time to repair. They'll get back to me tomorrow.

Do you think the breakdown would've affected Mr. Kim in some way?

Taking the phone apart for repair

wouldn't harm him, would it?

It wouldn't.

-Please say it wouldn't! -Will you--

Are you okay?

Did you think I wouldn't find you if you moved the living corpse?

I deal with people like you all the time.

You're mistaken.

If that were my plan, I would've quit my job.

Excuse me, who…

Who are you?

Se-yeon and I…

We're colleagues.

Is he your boyfriend?

Where did you find such a bum?

Hey.

You should've snagged a rich old guy.

Who are you to speak so rudely…

I'm a creditor who needs to receive 50 million won from her.

Are you going to pay off her debt?

You should stick to dealing with me.

Don't drag a stranger into this.

It's because you have difficulty understanding.

I get that this is part of your job, but you should at least let me breathe.

If I die, you'll suffer the greatest loss.

Have you gone mad?

-Hey. -Hey.

I'll pay you back.

So he's a soft touch.

But the thing is, I don't trust people.

I trust money.

DAY LOAN

Here's the account number.

Two days.

If I don't receive the money,

I'll turn up again.

And I won't leave in peace like this.

Got that?

The car's fine.

I'm charging you for my medical bills.

Come on.

Why would you pay that off for me?

Just because you're acting as the CEO

doesn't mean you're actually Kim Seon-ju.

Mr. Kim told me

that you became the youngest assistant of a CEO

because you're competent and tight-lipped.

We need someone like you.

I'm not tight-lipped.

My life is already tiring enough,

so I just can't afford to pay attention to others.

Such a person

wouldn't help a job seeker.

You are a good person with a warm heart.

Mom.

Please.

I learned some shocking news while looking at my stocks today.

What?

Apparently, the CEO of Silver Lining

is Park In-seong.

I'm disappointed.

Hyeon-ho.

Was our friendship this superficial?

It's a long story, but…

-Only my-- -A puppet boss?

Yes, it's similar.

Who cares if you're a puppet?

All that's needed is some inside information.

Just let me know when new products are released.

I'll take out all the loans I can and go all in.

-Don't. -Why not?

-Don't go all in. -Why not?

Owner's risk.

You're the owner.

You became the boss without even telling me!

Excuse me.

You have to fix the table. It keeps moving.

Hey.

You looked into everything, right?

You're not going to go to jail in place of the real CEO, are you?

It's nothing like that.

I guess that's not too bad either.

Your life is already doomed.

If a criminal record can turn my hopeless life upside down,

I can become a puppet.

Excuse me, you have to fix the pool table.

-You have to level it. -Right.

You can't tell my parents about this.

Hey, Mr. Boss.

Just worry about yourself.

You know what?

My friend mortgaged his house to buy Silver Lining stocks.

Retail investors

are swarming in.

My head hurts.

Lord, please help all of us.

We need it to go back up to live.

Lord, please help us.

What floor did you come down from?

The 88th floor.

It halved, then.

Why doom such an innocent child?

Let's go.

Dad, I want to go home.

That house…

is not ours anymore.

You need to get ready, sir.

There he is!

Why did you take up the position when you're incompetent?

-Please say a word. -Please say something.

In-seong.

Goodness. Honey!

In-seong!

Are you okay?

I wish…

I could stop time for a moment.

My friend mortgaged his house to buy Silver Lining stocks.

Even now, they worry about the impact

their decisions will have on the lives of their employees.

I'll show you technology with good character.

GLOSSARY OF ECONOMIC TERMS EXECUTIVE COACHING

For the duration of my tenure,

I need to become a real CEO.

I found a phone under Kim Seon-ju's name.

Did you?

Mr. Park took it in for repair along with a power of attorney.

As expected.

Is your most reliable man tailing him?

Yes, sir.

FOOLISH DREAMS ARE TOXIC

BUT LAZINESS WILL NEVER BETRAY YOU" KIM SEON-JU

NOTES ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Your phone has been repaired. Here you go, sir.

Mr. Kim, are you okay?

Hey, Kim Seon-ju!

Kim Seon-ju, please answer.

Did you really die after falling in the toilet?

Do people still use pit toilets?

Did he get a stool rash?

Mr. Park.

What?

If you make the same mistake again--

It's working!

-Hello? Are you listening? -My phone is working.

-Hello? -Excuse me.

-Who am I talking to? -It's working.

Yesterday, I was presumptuous in--

So it's fixed now?

Yes.

It works fine.

That's a relief.

We don't have much time.

We already wasted a lot of it thanks to someone.

I found something strange in the dashcam footage.

What's wrong with that?

I rewatched it multiple times too, and there was nothing that seemed off.

Take a closer look.

When I get out of my car, another car drives past me.

This is where it starts getting strange.

The oncoming car.

Is it the same car?

Yes.

The car that drove past me when I met Mr. Kwak made a U-turn.

If their destination was Seoul,

they should've been on their way.

A tail?

They could've just gotten lost on the road

or had a poor sense of direction.

That is why I'm going to check.

First, we need to trace the vehicle number.

01 E4885

I'll do it.

You will?

Do you know someone in the police?

In-seong, I heard you started working at a big company.

I am so proud of you.

How did you know that?

Your father told me, of course.

If you don't know that here, you practically live under a rock.

What was it called again? Silver Town?

It's called Silver Lining.

That's right. Lining.

Anyway, you are our source of pride.

If there's anything you need, just tell me.

-The thing is, -Yes?

I was actually going to ask--

-Inspector. -Yes?

I have bad news.

What is it?

Did the village head's dog leave the house or something?

No, not his dog.

His wife ran away.

What?

Shouldn't we track the location of her--

We'll get in trouble if we do!

We can't go about disregarding the code of conduct.

You shouldn't let your personal feelings dictate your service to the country!

-Gosh. -Will In-seong be okay on his own?

Taking advantage of your connections doesn't work these days.

You're right.

But will we be okay?

It all depends on your performance.

You have to be assertive.

-Assertive. -Assertive.

What can I help you with, ma'am?

A person who has an annual membership here

is my boss.

Is that so?

Charge my phone for me, please.

Yes, ma'am.

-Wait! -Pardon?

Charge it with the computer, please.

Okay.

PROFESSIONALS DIRECT THEIR BALLS AMATEURS ARE LED BY THEIR BALLS

It's been a while since you visited. You should stay a little longer.

It's okay. You're probably busy.

Thank you for the coffee.

All right, then.

What? Is that your car?

It's a company car.

Goodness. What a nice car.

Will I see you in a helicopter the next time you get hired?

What?

Gosh, you should've been more careful.

You already got a dent.

It looks pretty recent.

It was a hit-and-run.

What?

Who in the world…

Did you file a report?

I'm a new hire, and I didn't want things to get out of hand.

So I just let it slide.

Are you serious right now?

If something like that happened, you should've told me!

If I just knew the plate number, I would--

I know it.

You do?

I'm not too sure, but I think my dashcam picked up the number.

What are you doing?

Are you going to keep it to yourself?

Give it to me.

You see, that car…

A burner car?

Yes.

When I looked up the vehicle number, there was no registered information.

A burner car…

As expected, they're a hard nut to crack.

By the way, was there really a tail on you?

I entered the golf course server

to check the security camera footage and the main gate logs on the 10th.

My car came in first,

and a minute later, 4885 followed me in.

When I left the golf course, 4885 followed me right away.

So it's true that they tailed you, but it's a burner car.

We've run out of clues.

Since we're in the area, let's go to the scene of the incident.

All right.

It's this mountain.

No way.

You hiked up this mountain?

No way. You want us to go up there?

Right? There would've been no reason for me to go up there

unless I was being attacked.

All right.

Let's get going.

It was around here

that I picked up his phone.

Here?

They probably got rid of any traces of evidence.

Now that we've come up here,

one thing is certain.

How out of shape you are?

If someone really

tried to harm you here,

it was probably not done by one person.

Why?

It is impossible

to carry

your body

alone…

down the path we just came up.

That was a compelling analysis.

My height is in the 97th percentile in Korea.

-What? -Hide.

The criminal will always

return to the scene of the crime.

What?

Mom.

Father.

What?

Why does he always use the landline when he has a cell phone?

Oh, this?

It's In-seong as a kid when he filmed a movie.

But the frame cracked. I need to replace it.

So…

you stopped by during a business trip?

-Yes. -Yes.

Then are you two

colleagues?

Yes, she's my supervisor.

She's your immediate superior? Goodness.

In-seong is still lacking.

Yes.

Everything's ready.

But he's kind-hearted if you get to know him.

The food is ready. Come and eat.

All right.

Let's go.

-Have a seat. -Thank you.

You may already know, but cassia seed tea is good for your eyes.

Goodness. We have a guest over, and we don't have any meat dishes?

All the stores were closed.

Really?

You should've given us a call before coming.

I wasn't planning on coming though.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you were coming.

We usually just mix everything we have with rice.

-Is that okay with you? -Yes.

Here.

It's no use sending In-seong some side dishes.

He never touches them.

Seriously.

-He never does. -Don't take care of him so much.

But still, he's working hard in a different city.

Se-yeon, I'm here.

-You're here? -Yes.

Why didn't you eat any of my side dishes?

Let's just mix everything together before they go bad.

Bibimbap?

-This looks tasty. -These are all organic.

-Eat it all. -Okay.

It's so good.

Mom, you'd still make kimchi for me even if I get married, right?

You always said you'd live with me.

Will you get married?

Why wouldn't I?

So many guys in my major chase me around.

-Goodness. Is that so? -Yes.

I'm going to see with my own eyes who you bring on your wedding day.

Yes, Mother.

This is tasty.

But Mom…

All right.

-It looks tasty. -Thank you for the food.

Is everything…

This looks delicious. The sesame oil is so pungent.

-I'm always amazed by your good looks. -Jeez.

I'll get going then.

I cleaned all the rooms, and you're leaving?

We have no choice. We have work tomorrow.

He's just saying that because he's sad to see you go.

Get home safely, all right?

Thank you.

Thank you.

All right.

Bye. Go back inside.

-I'll get going. -Bye.

Get home safe.

Drive safely.

She's so pretty.

Isn't this the first time he brought a girl home?

I need her time of birth to find out their marital compatibility.

Hey, Se-yeon.

The bibimbap was good.

Wasn't it?

I don't like bibimbap.

I hate mixing foods and mixing rice with soup.

I see.

I like gambas al ajillo.

Let's have some together next time.

Okay.

If we want that to happen, we need to catch 4885 first.

We came all the way here…

but we're back to square one.

It's not square one.

We know for certain that the burner car

was tailing me.

Wait.

They were tailing you?

If they were tailing Mr. Kim,

doesn't that mean they could be tailing us now too?

01 E4885

I'll lead them to the parking lot.

Will they follow us in?

It's that car.

I'll go and check.

What can you do on your own?

-Let's just go back today-- -No.

What if they change their car after realizing we found out

and stop tailing us?

This is our only chance.

Then I'll go with you.

Wait. Hold on.

Let's go.

01 E4885

There's no one inside.

What?

How have you been…

Mr. Park?

Kim Seon-ju just arrived.

I'm a team leader in the sales department. Which department are you in?

He is the newly appointed CEO, Mr. Park In-seong.

This way, sir.

You were the owner of 4885?

What should I do? You found out something you shouldn't have.

You have the keys and Mr. Kim's phone, right?

So?

I'll do what I can to distract them. Run as fast as you can to the car.

-What if-- -We have no other choice.

Do as I say.

I'm Fedor Emelianenko.

I'm Bruce Lee.

-Catch him. -Stop them!

Hurry!

Come on.

Let go of me!

Get him.

-No! Let go! -Come over here.

Damn it.

-Let go of me! No! -Come over here.

Let go!

I said let go!

Damn it!

-Damn it! -Let go!

Help!

Please help.

Gosh, you idiot.

Hey.

I didn't get the money yet. What are you going to do?

I'll give you this. This is expensive.

-Please help. -What's with the whispered conversation?

Did you not hear me?

What are you doing?

Hey.

Hey.

What are you going to do about this?

Will you cover it?

How will you pay for this?

-You're laughing? -What's with this lunatic?

Hey, move out of the way.

Who sent you?

That's my line.

What?

Who are you?

-Who are you? -I asked you first.

I'm her creditor.

-Just leave. -I need my money before I leave.

If you take her away, who will pay me back?

If you give me the money, I'll leave.

You must have a death wish.

Do I?

Anyone has a fancy plan for themselves…

until they get beaten up.

What should we do?

What else is there to do? Get rid of them.

Hey!

Hold on.

Damn it.

Hey!

She's a total psycho.

I have bad news.

Can we really do this?

As long as I can find out the truth,

I can do far worse things.

Who sent you?

I'll tell you.

Who sent you?

I want to know.

Kim…

Kim Seon-ju.

-Bum-geun! -Breaking news.

Chairman Oh Bum-geun of Bumyoung

has passed away at the age of 75.

The fight for shares between Oh Mi-ran and Oh Young-geun…

Mr. Kim sent you?

-That doesn't make sense. -Why did he tell you to tail me?

I have never regretted any of my decisions.

His address, phone number, and academic background are all fake.

-How is that possible? -Don't you think so?

I knew you were a good person the moment I first met you.
