ALL NAMES, GROUPS, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

1 YEAR AGO

Thank you so much

for trusting me and joining hands with Bumyoung.

That's not true.

I chose Bumyoung because it's Silver Lining's optimal partner.

You haven't changed.

You still don't mix business with personal.

Then…

Okay, I'll treat you professionally as well.

Sure.

-Mr. Kim? -Yes, Ms. Oh.

I truly am

looking forward to working with you.

It is my pleasure.

You were just being exploited too.

Just come clean…

You should've expected this much.

Now.

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

He's pointing a gun. What now?

You're holding on to your phone in this situation?

It must be very important to you.

I was wondering who was behind the job seeker from the boonies.

I guess I'll find out soon.

Stop digging and pretend you don't know anything

if you at least want to live.

You just let him go?

Yes.

How could you let him take the phone? Mr. Kim has been abducted.

No.

It was our plan.

It's still too dangerous.

We have no other choice.

Even if we catch Mr. No,

he'll probably end up like Mr. Nam and Mr. Kwak,

and it will only result in more victims.

I understand what you mean,

but I can't approve.

Act like yourself

and convince me with irrefutable logic.

There is no better option.

This way, I can watch and listen to everything

that is done or said by the enemy.

What are you going to do if they harm you?

I am just a phone in their eyes.

-We should ask Se-yeon, and-- -Don't.

Ms. Jung will oppose it even more.

We have no time.

This plan

is between you and me.

Are you insane?

You should've stopped him no matter what.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to call--

Come on.

You saw it too.

Bumyoung can influence the police too.

Firm beliefs won't do. We need evidence.

Yes.

I'm moving to another motel.

We'll know who he talks to, where he goes,

and ultimately,

who is controlling him.

Starting now,

we're going to find out everything.

BUMYOUNG MOTOR GROUP

Quiet.

I can't hear.

Okay. I'll be more mindful.

What is it? Is something wrong?

I heard gunshots.

No way.

Is someone screaming?

I see.

What?

It's from a game.

What?

My gosh.

Talk about being brazen.

His identity was unveiled, but he's just playing games.

He's different from Mr. Nam.

He's not fleeing.

It shows how perfect his crime was

and how confident he is.

Then we need conclusive evidence.

That means Mr. Kim was right.

Yes.

But what would happen if the phone dies or Mr. No turns it off

before Mr. Kim can collect any evidence?

Then there's nothing we can do. We can't even locate the phone.

TRY AGAIN IN 30 SECONDS

Don't worry.

We made the necessary preparations.

UNOFFICIAL BOSS

ENTER PASSCODE TO VIEW

THE PASSCODE IS INCORRECT

UNOFFICIAL BOSS

Mr. Park.

Mr. Park.

Mr. Park.

You startled me.

Aren't you going to work?

Right.

My alarm…

I forgot.

Right. Kim Seon-ju isn't here starting today.

"Starting today"?

CEO PARK IN-SEONG

What?

Well…

I got a call from Mr. Kim in the morning,

and he said everything was going smoothly.

Isn't it a relief?

I'm so worried.

Don't worry.

Mr. Kim

is someone who would survive in a tiger's den.

He's "smart," after all.

I'm not worried about Mr. Kim.

Then about whom?

-I'm worried about you. -Sorry?

Mr. Park.

Yes, Mr. Kim. What is the matter?

Pardon?

Well, I'm here because…

You didn't give your approval yet.

What do you mean?

As you were appointed,

you said you would sign everything electronically.

You haven't checked any emails since yesterday. What do you want us to do?

I see.

I was about to check in my office now.

-Pardon? -Follow me inside.

2022 FIRST-HALF BUSINESS REPORT

2022 SECOND-HALF REORGANIZATION PLAN

When am I going to read all of this?

Why are there so many?

This one about operating revenue…

is not what I'm looking for.

That's not it.

The overseas business next year…

The matter of abolishing the AR glasses department.

The AR glasses?

They work like a charm though.

We agreed upon calculating the adequacy of departments with low ROI.

RO…

We failed to secure Series B funding from venture capital in Singapore.

You have to decide whether to abolish the department or request Bumyoung…

for an increased budget, Mr. Park.

What is your decision?

I need some time to think.

Since it's an important matter.

You have to make a decision before the corporate meeting.

Of course.

By the way,

when was that again?

Tomorrow.

Excuse me?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow…

Tomorrow.

What? 400 people?

Silver Lining only has the source technology for the AR glasses.

The product and content production is carried out by a subcontractor.

So,

if I choose to terminate it,

the livelihood of about 400 people…

will become uncertain.

On the other hand, if we sustain an unprofitable project,

it will put Silver Lining at a loss.

And I have to make that decision by tomorrow?

-Yes. -Gosh.

We're short on time.

I must call…

PARK IN-SEONG

PARK IN-SEONG

-What's the matter? -Mr. Kim?

I told you to wait until I call you.

It was just so urgent.

Do I have to abolish the AR glasses department?

About that…

Wait.

Someone's coming. Hang up.

Mr. Kim.

He hung up.

SMARTPHONES EXPERT

Welcome.

Salute!

I heard you were discharged.

Long time no see.

How have you been?

Well, as you can see, I made use of my specialty.

Here.

You can unlock it, right?

This is a piece of cake.

I'll come back after work.

Goodbye.

Shall I get to work?

Why are you trying to unlock that?

Can you please be quiet? I need to concentrate.

Gosh, it's not In-seong's birthday.

Why won't this unlock?

That's the whole point of a lock.

Can't you just put it under his pillow?

What do you mean?

In-seong's future depends on this.

The shaman told me

I have to put it near something In-seong cherishes.

She seemed fake.

Why I ought to…

You must have money to burn.

You're going to bring bad luck.

Give it to me.

What are you doing?

You said it needs to be placed near something he cherishes.

When he wanted to be an actor, he always stared at this TV.

-Gosh! -Gosh!

You must have money to burn.

That hurts.

Are you okay?

I used to envy CEOs.

I was always in a position of having to be chosen.

When I auditioned for roles

and when I looked for jobs…

I wondered why I was never chosen.

I thought, "How nice would it be if the choice was mine?"

But…

considering the fact

that my choices

can affect a person's life,

the happiness of a family, and the fate of a company…

all I can do is worry.

It makes me…

respect Mr. Kim even more.

There is a phrase that I once saw after following Mr. Kim to a golf meeting.

"Professionals direct their balls."

"Amateurs are led by their balls."

Worrying right now won't help you.

You need to come up with a plan.

I'll help you.

It won't unlock?

It must have some sort of protection.

It's impenetrable.

You could've tried entering every number.

I already tried that.

I tried multiple times, but it just won't work.

How is that possible?

It's not. This has never happened to me before.

Seriously. It just makes no sense

unless someone kept changing the passcode between each attempt.

Hello?

I'll leave right now.

Se-yeon, hurry.

-He contacted you? -Yes.

He said Mr. No is on the move.

Please go to BY Hotel.

Only those who have Mr. Oh's permission can enter the BY Hotel lounge.

Then they'll probably discuss something important today.

-Hello, Mr. Oh. -Hello.

Great job with the new product.

-Yes, thank you. -All right.

-Let's go golfing someday. -It would be an honor.

-Sure. -I will be waiting.

Hello.

He is running late.

I will contact him.

It's fine.

I can wait.

He is a busy man after all.

What about Baro Version 4.0?

I'm still looking into it.

Keep your eye on

both Ms. Oh and Mr. Park.

Actually, about Mr. Park's phone…

Hold on.

This isn't the time to discuss it.

Why did he stop him in the middle of his sentence?

I clearly heard

a text tone before Mr. Oh stopped him.

I think I heard it too.

What the…

Who were you texting?

Don't tell me…

It's not true, is it?

Give it back.

The timing was just perfect.

I saw you touch your phone after hearing about our destination.

Did you tell him we were overhearing his conversation?

Cut it out. Give it to me.

I'm sorry.

This time,

you owe me an explanation.

KIDDO

What?

You're going to leave me too, right?

You can do whatever you want.

I'll always be alone anyway.

I grabbed him.

What now?

I'm scared.

-Damn it. -Can you go home with me today?

Fortunately,

he didn't betray us.

Yes.

That is why

I now have something to do.

This is so delicious.

Aren't you hungry, Detective Ma?

Detective?

We staked out earlier.

Won't we

qualify as half-detectives?

Don't beat around the bush.

I'm sorry for doubting you.

By the way,

when did you exchange numbers with Min-a?

Does the kiddo not have a mom?

She passed away early on.

But she's grown to be a bright child.

That's amazing.

It's because she's well-off.

Her dad's the president of a big company.

What is this mess?

Goodness. What are you doing at this hour?

We didn't get to eat dinner because of work.

You can go in and rest.

The dishes…

He'll wash everything.

This is my job. It's what I get paid to do.

Gosh. How bland. What should I do with this?

Should we add more salt?

Do you like spicy food?

Yes, I do.

What about you?

Thank you.

Oh, my gosh!

Try some. It's really good.

Here, have some water.

Are you okay?

You can't eat spicy food?

I asked you.

Your taste buds contradict your appearance.

Is it just me or is mine smaller?

It's just you.

It's just…

Mine is definitely…

We're one family now.

Family in Korean means sik, as in "eating," and gu, as in "the mouth."

People who eat together, just like us.

Screw family.

I see.

Where is the watch?

It looked expensive, so I sold it.

You're so consistent

when it comes to money.

Are you mocking me?

No. That is not it.

But

what's all that money for?

Is becoming a landlord your dream?

I haven't thought about it.

What's all that money for?

Is becoming a landlord your dream?

Harder.

-That's enough for today. -Thank you, Coach.

-About your match tomorrow. -Yes.

Don't push yourself.

During the national team tryouts?

Yes. You're only a junior.

You'll get a chance next year.

Manage your condition.

All right, Coach. Thank you.

Goodness. Let's go.

Gosh. Hold on.

It wasn't raining earlier.

Here.

Why are you giving me this?

I'm counting on you tomorrow.

-Goodness. -Let's go.

You can probably compete in the match.

2000 SYDNEY OLYMPICS NATIONAL BOXING TEAM TRYOUTS

-Nice. -Good.

Good.

Move your feet.

Move.

-Move away. -Punch back.

-Move away. -Focus and move.

Snap out of it.

Don't hold him!

About your match tomorrow. Don't push yourself.

Do you like money that much?

Hey, are you nuts? You bastard.

Do you even realize how much I've done for you? You punk.

You know what?

You shouldn't have let me get so attached.

Am I wrong?

If this were your end game,

you shouldn't have reached out your hand to someone in a bottomless pit.

Stop right there!

Hey!

22ND, FRIDAY MEETING ON AR GLASSES

I have to attend the meeting tomorrow.

What do I do about AR glasses?

I should abolish it.

Can't I just sustain it?

Mr. Park, did you make a decision?

The meeting is in an hour.

Ms. Oh…

Are you going to embarrass yourself in front of Ms. Oh?

He will let you know during the meeting.

I'm talking to him right now.

Please return to your office.

Should I say you're sick and push back the meeting a few days?

If it were Mr. Kim,

he wouldn't have given up on the AR glasses, right?

We saw how it can perform with our own eyes.

The problem is we haven't been able to come up with an idea that will

turn the AR glasses into a profitable product.

That's why the deficit keeps increasing.

Is there really…

no way for both Silver Lining…

and the subcontractor to benefit from them?

Did you hear from Mr. Kim?

No.

I guess he's facing difficulties.

He hasn't responded.

Mr. Kim.

Yes, Mom.

Can you buy us a TV? I'll give you the money.

Why?

Your dad broke ours.

Don't worry about the money.

What size is it?

That's a good question.

I'm not sure.

It should be written.

Where?

I can't find it.

Then why don't you go to the store yourself and check…

How? I don't know anything about electronic goods.

This makes me so upset.

Mom,

I'll take care of it. Bye.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

Hey.

Gosh.

As I informed you in advance,

if the return on investment is low,

the AR glasses department should be abolished.

You agree, right?

Mr. Park?

No.

I will expand the business.

Mr. Park.

Even now, we're facing a deficit, but you want to expand the business?

Times have changed.

Taking a paternalistic approach will cause the business to crumble.

That's right. Times have changed.

Private businesses, department stores, and other offline stores

are seeing a decrease in sales,

while online sales are rapidly increasing.

The only reason people visit stores in person

is to check the products with their own eyes.

It's for my mother.

-Something she can wear to her reunion. -Is it that one?

-Please come this way. -I'll buy this then.

Come on, Mom.

Nobody shops in department stores when shopping online is much cheaper.

Then why did you come here?

To see things for myself and try them on.

The last hurdle of online shopping,

the inconvenience of having to see products in person

will be conquered by Silver Lining's AR glasses.

What can a pair of glasses do?

Whether you're at home or at work,

as long as you have the AR glasses…

Let me see.

…you'll be able to see the difference between a 65-inch

and a 75-inch Bumyoung TV.

This is just the right size.

You can also see the difference

between a Bumyoung SUV and a compact SUV.

If this technology becomes universalized,

The AR glasses,

much like the smartphones of today,

will become a necessity

that people can't live without.

Mr. Park, are you confident?

You're taking the risk of increasing

the investment costs on a product that makes no profit.

Since times have changed, so should the investors.

The tendency not to take risks.

And indifference to increasing value, which then leads to

only investing in a business that will guarantee profit.

Naturally,

considering the ROI, that's the right call.

That is why investments are cut off

if things become slightly unstable.

However, we should not be afraid of change.

The AR glasses will become

Silver Lining and Bumyoung's win-win project.

I am certain

it will become the product that fuels Industry 4.0.

Please share the product databases

of Bumyoung Distribution, Electronics,

and Motor Group with Silver Lining.

Mr. Park.

Yes?

You've done an amazing job.

What a relief.

Although it was in the nick of time,

Mr. Kim called right before the meeting.

What? That's not true.

He didn't call me.

What?

Then how did you…

ECONOMICS

POWER TRANSFER UNIT

MEDIUM-TERM BOND (1 YEAR TO 10 YEARS)

I got it to open.

Gosh.

Goodness.

What?

How did you do it?

You said you didn't know the code.

I know, right?

It was something I didn't even think of.

Why?

Was it something like "1234"?

-Goodness. -No.

It was your birthday.

My birthday?

-It was my birthday? -Yes.

I didn't know you two were that close.

My birthday.

-I'm dead tired. -What?

Is he that happy?

Goodness.

PRONUNCIATION NOTES

In-seong worked hard.

Special…

Mr. Kim?

I called because Mr. No is washing up.

During the meeting today, I--

What do you mean by that?

Sure. That sounds great. Yes.

Go ahead with it.

All right, Mr. Oh. You made the right decision.

You are absolutely right, sir.

You can't do this.

Let go.

It's all right.

You may leave.

Mr. Park!

What is this impertinence?

We're in the middle of a meeting.

I came here to attend the meeting.

The topic of today's meeting is,

"Who killed Mr. Kwak Sam-su?"

I understand you may be distraught by your employee's death.

But…

hasn't it been concluded that he committed suicide?

No.

It was concluded as a suicide

through someone's influence.

Someone murdered Mr. Kwak

and also…

tried to frame me as the suspect.

And I came to the conclusion that the culprit is inside this room.

-Unbelievable. -How did you come up with that nonsense?

This is ridiculous.

What?

The culprit?

What are the bodyguards doing? He should be dragged out.

Call the bodyguards.

It's locked. Check that door.

This one is locked too.

None of you are allowed to take even a single step out of this room.

It's an emergency!

Mr. Oh is locked inside the conference room. Hurry.

Mr. Park.

If something like that really happened to Mr. Kwak,

it should not be ignored.

Rather than this conference room,

you should go to the police station and ask for help.

By the way,

in your supposed list of suspects…

Am I included?

Yes.

You're at the top of the list.

What are you all waiting for? He needs to leave.

-Don't do this! -What are you doing?

You shouldn't be here. Please leave!

-Please leave! -Please leave!

-Please leave! -Mr. Oh, we should go.

Hold on!

The thing is…

That seems to be the only exit.

As soon as everything settles down, I will escort you.

Mr. Kim?

I called because Mr. No is washing up.

During the meeting today, I--

I found it.

I found the confidential document envelope.

What do you mean by that?

You found the document envelope?

I'm sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

It can happen.

Mr. Oh has it.

That means he targeted you to obtain the Baro Version 4.0 beta test results.

Mr. Kwak too.

If we can just get the envelope in our hands, we can ask Mr. Oh.

We should check his office first.

How do we do that without anyone knowing?

You need to distract everyone.

In the meantime, Ms. Jung and Mafi will look for it.

Fortunately,

the Vice Chairman's office has no cameras.

Because he has a lot to hide.

You just need to hold out for the others.

You can't leave anyway. Gosh.

I wasn't going to go as far as locking the doors.

-My goodness. -Goodness.

Please just sit down, everyone.

Everything depends on you, Mr. Park.

Buy as much time as you can.

-What? -Come on.

I found it.

SILVER LINING REQUEST FOR BUSINESS PROMOTION PROPOSAL

This isn't it.

-Grab him. -Catch him.

Goodness.

This way, sir.

How outrageous.

-Yes? -Did you find it?

Not yet.

He's heading up right now.

That's not good. Stall for a little more.

My goodness.

What's going on?

Mr. Oh, let's leave the building.

BUMYOUNG GROUP VICE CHAIRMAN OH YOUNG-GEUN

Here.

We found it.

Why can't you manage the building properly?

Bring me a new pair of clothes.

Yes, sir.

Goodness.

I can't even open my eyes.

Gosh.

-Your clothes will be prepared right away. -Okay.

I can't believe this.

Mr. Oh, here are your clothes.

Did anyone come in here while I was away?

No, sir.

-What now? -Call him in!

Are you okay, sir?

Mr. Park

was different from usual today.

Look into it.

Yes, sir.

Gosh.

I'm glad you're safe.

CONFIDENTIAL

Did you run into any problems?

-No. -No.

All right, then.

Shall we go?

Did the sprinkler system malfunction?

It was all Mr. Park's doing.

OH BUM-GEUN

Mr. Park?

Apparently, he barged in during the meeting

and proposed the topic of, "Who killed Mr. Kwak Sam-su?"

Detective Choi gave this to Mr. Oh?

He probably found it in Mr. Kwak's car, right?

Yes.

Mr. Kwak told me that he had something to give me.

CONFIDENTIAL

BARO VERSION 4.0 BETA TEST REPORT

BETA TEST RESULTS FOUND FATAL FLAWS, RAISING CONCERN FOR THE SELF-DRIVING CAR

He tried to give me this and reveal the truth, but…

I'm leaving now.

I'll check and get back to you.

MR. KIM

He's finally moving.

I'll turn on location tracking, so follow us.

You have to catch them on the hop.

PARKING LOT

It's Impyeong Mental Hospital.

Why did you ask for a meeting?

I think he's going to a ward.

How is he?

Mr. Nam?

Step on it.

Were we ever

on good enough terms to enjoy eating dinner together?

Was it you?

What are you talking about?

Mr. Kwak.

Did you kill him?

Just like Kim Seon-ju?

No.

Kim Seon-ju…

is alive.

A soul that has experienced betrayal

is wandering around.

This is you, right?

Is it really possessed?

On top of that, the person who died due to medical malpractice is…

My boss is here!

Why should we keep the law when facing people who don't care about the law?

Was it you? He had the report for Baro Version 4.0.

You abducted Mr. Kim.

-You don't seem surprised. -It's true that I had false hopes.

I will make an offer you can't reject.

When you're left with no choices, there's always one option left.
