ALL NAMES, GROUPS, CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

You can't get me, can you?

Yes, I can.

I got you!

Are you alive?

You're not alive.

Goodness.

-Should we do it one more time? -Yes!

Okay. Let's do it again.

I think that will be my last time.

Let's go. One more time.

He blew a bubble.

How did you do it?

You look so brutal. Can't you smile?

What is he doing?

What are you doing? Do your teeth hurt?

CHUNGBUK NURSING HOME

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

This is a super expensive talisman.

A trivial piece of paper like this

can sometimes

comfort people.

I'll give it to you

because you're special.

Stick it onto your mother's bed.

One day in middle school,

I couldn't fall asleep…

the day before a field trip.

But…

I heard my mom sobbing.

I can't imagine…

how hopeless and difficult it must've been for her to raise me on her own.

I'm now old enough to understand.

But I can't even tell her how thankful I am

that she hasn't…

given up on me,

even until the very end.

It was from that day

that I bit my lip…

and suppressed my feelings of sadness…

so I wouldn't have to…

show her that I was struggling.

But after meeting you, this is what came to mind.

Just like you,

I shouldn't have held back…

and shared more conversations with my mom.

Then maybe

it would've been less lonely and hard on her.

I'm full of regrets.

Uncle Mafia, will you be late today too?

UNCLE MAFIA

Did you two get into an argument?

-Sorry? -Sorry?

You guys didn't say a word on the way back.

Nothing happened.

I will be leaving now.

Right. Where will you be staying from now on, Ms. Jung?

Isn't the nursing home too far to commute?

I am not sure yet.

If it's okay with you, you can stay here with us.

Here?

No. I'm talking about this house, not the study.

Min-a would love having you here.

All right.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

What are you doing?

Earlier…

I'll see you in the morning.

Good night.

You can't fall asleep?

Strangely, yes.

Figures.

You've never gotten this close before.

What…

What do you mean by "close"?

To the two billion won.

Right.

If Ms. Oh is dismissed during the shareholder meeting,

she will be formally investigated and punished.

And you can get your body back.

Mr. Park is probably

meeting Mr. Oh right now.

If you want to prevent the deal,

release Mr. Kim.

We'll now start the August 16th, 2022

Bumyoung extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.

Vice Chairman Oh Young-geun will be conducting the meeting.

I won't steal everyone's precious time and get straight to it.

In a prompt manner,

let us vote for the dismissal of Executive Director Oh Mi-ran.

DISMISSAL OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OH MI-RAN: AGREE

Mr. Oh, all the shares have been collected.

I will announce

the results of the dismissal of Executive Director Oh Mi-ran.

Out of a total

of 114,638,752 shares,

97,685,593 opposed.

As a result,

the dismissal of Executive Director Oh Mi-ran…

has been rejected.

Did you call for me?

Mr. Park paid me a visit.

He made an interesting offer.

Did he suggest joining forces to drag me down?

I gave it some thought.

A member of the Bumyoung family

tried to push ahead with a new product release

even after knowing it was flawed.

If this gets revealed to the world,

will things just end with you being kicked out?

I…

have no interest in sitting on a throne that has lost its honor.

Sir.

I would like to propose another matter.

Go ahead.

As he failed to properly execute his tasks as the executive director,

we should take a vote for the dismissal

of Silver Lining's Park In-seong.

-I agree. -I'll second that.

-I agree. -I agree.

-I second that. -I second that.

Breaking news. Less than three months after the withdrawal

of Kim Seon-ju, Park In-seong is also dismissed,

putting the reputation of Silver Lining at risk.

I've been dismissed?

What is all of this?

Isn't Silver Lining your company?

That is true.

However, if Ms. Oh and Mr. Oh combine their shares,

I can't do anything.

We were duped by them.

That's enough. I can move out on my own.

Why are they rushing things?

Whether Mr. Park is the CEO or not,

it won't make a difference to Bumyoung.

I know, right?

I don't understand why they're blowing things out of proportion.

Be careful not to break the glass.

Mr. Kim.

You must not have heard.

I've been appointed as the interim CEO. Director Kim Yong-seol, no.

President Kim at your service.

Ms. Jung, you have to stay.

I know it must be hard but hang in there.

We will find a way to return.

Ms. Oh.

I am sorry to say this,

but Mr. Oh ordered me to look up tickets to America and housing.

He must be trying to transfer me to the US branch.

The public has indeed become skeptical

about the self-driving car's release after the dismissal of Mr. Park.

If you give me the orders, I will get rid of--

Do you think that would make the shareholders vote for me?

Everyone would suspect me.

I didn't think that far ahead.

If they think Oh Young-geun died a wrongful death,

the shareholders would just vote for one of his allies.

The scariest part of elections is the sympathy vote.

Do you like baseball?

Pardon?

I do.

It doesn't matter how long you maintain the lead

as long as you win in the end.

Coming back with a walk-off home run is more exhilarating.

I understand.

However, in order to do that…

Captain No, what lengths would you go to for me?

2 YEARS AGO

Your superior said he knew nothing about it.

You embezzled on your own.

WRITTEN STATEMENT BY NO WI-JE SLEEPING BAG DELIVERY CORRUPTION

It is because of punks like you that we're stuck using old water canteens.

Impress the statement. It's for everyone's sake.

I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL CHARGES NO WI-JE

A captain misappropriated military payments on his own?

That's a bit far-fetched.

Who are you?

You seem to have a sense of loyalty. I'll give you that.

But you picked the wrong person to be loyal to.

Who the hell are you?

What do you think

of betting your life on me, since you were thinking of dying anyway?

Why didn't you wake me up?

You don't think I tried, Mr. Unemployed?

Right. Yes.

Where's Min-a?

She's in her room.

Still?

To tell you the truth,

she's been in low spirits these days.

Why?

Why do you think?

After you got fired, all the news and YouTube videos are busy

bringing up rumors about Mr. Kim and his reason for not returning,

saying he has an incurable disease or that he got remarried overseas.

That little one has eyes and ears too.

Min-a, it's In-seong.

What? Am I "it"?

Where could Min-a be?

What?

What's wrong? Did something happen to Min-a?

Min-a's not here.

Did you see Min-a today?

What? No, I didn't see her.

Then did something happen yesterday?

She left home this morning.

Hello? Yes.

I'm not switching internet providers.

What do you like the most in this world?

Me?

Choco Pie.

What about you?

How dare you try to steal?

Who taught you this was okay?

That does it. Raise your arms.

Did you think I wouldn't notice if you just took it?

This won't do. Where is your mom?

How about your dad?

Look at you.

This is why you can tell when kids grow up without parents.

That does it. You're going to the police--

What did you say?

What did you just say?

What did I do?

Are you her father?

Do you want to ride the seesaw with me?

Are you not going to talk to me?

I have so many questions for you.

I have eight.

That's seven.

What? You just talked.

Are you going to talk to me now?

I have a question too.

What is it? Ask away. I'll answer everything.

What do I have to do to get taken away by the police?

-What? -I stole from the store.

Why didn't the police come to get me?

Min-a, good kids don't go to the police station.

No. I need the police to take me

so that my dad will come and find me.

I don't want to be a good kid.

Dad.

Dad.

I…

miss my dad

so much.

SKY, WIND, STAR, AND POETRY BY YOON DONG-JU

"Self-portrait."

"Skirting the spur of the hill, I come to a lone well by a paddy

by myself

and stare into the well."

"And there is a man."

"For some reason, I come to detest the man, so I turn away and leave."

"As I walk away,

I come to pity the man."

"So I go back and stare into the well,

and the man is still there."

"I turn away once again because I come to detest the man."

"As I walk away,

I come to miss the man."

"Inside the well, there is the moon, shining bright,

the clouds are fleeting, the sky is spread out,

a blue wind blows,

and there is autumn."

"The man is also there like a memory."

Mr. Kim, are you okay?

No.

I'm so angry and enraged.

It's disappointing and upsetting.

I felt so small today because I couldn't do anything for Min-a.

Just like then.

What did the doctor say?

I had to face a new life and a death

at the same time.

Am I in critical condition?

Let's…

Let's…

just go back to Korea.

I was always so full of myself,

but there was nothing I could do.

And…

the same thing happened again.

Mr. Kim.

I can't even hug

my own daughter who misses me.

Let her see you.

Let's show her.

Sorry?

We can't keep hiding it from her.

We should help her accept reality…

What?

Should we tell her that her dad is living inside a phone?

Some day,

that could become an option.

Are you keeping your eye on Mr. Park?

I didn't notice anything odd.

Is that so? That's strange.

Generally speaking, if a person is pushed to the edge,

they're bound to act recklessly.

They become less logical and more emotional.

Are you saying he'll try to return to his position?

I don't know.

But…

if you don't know what your opponent will do,

you can knock him down before his next move.

If Park In-seong gets stigmatized,

whatever he does

and whatever he says

won't hold water with the public.

Gosh, the weather's so nice.

I can't get in touch with Mafi.

Did he not tell you where he'd be?

No. Do you think he left for good?

It wouldn't be weird if he did.

Let's just wait for now.

See you.

If anything happens at work, call me.

-Mr. Park, is it true that you assaulted -Isn't it an abuse of power

-an employee and were taken to the police? -to activate sprinklers during a meeting?

-Please say something! -A response, please!

A professional stated that you may have anger management issues!

-Excuse me! -Please say something!

As Park In-seong's true nature starts to unfold,

some deduce that he harmed Kim Seon-ju

in order to be appointed as the CEO--

It's time to go upstairs.

What does "harm" mean, Mr. Sim?

What is that man saying?

Hold on.

The…

The CEO?

That's not the problem.

They're saying he's a terrible person.

Sir!

How did your son become the CEO of Silver Lining?

Please say something!

-Did he really assault an employee? -A word, please!

-Please say a word. -Please say something.

Was Kim Seon-ju aware of everything?

Please say a word!

-Did he assault an employee? -Ma'am, a word, please.

Ma'am, please say a word!

-Is it true? -Please say something.

Is it true that you knew about everything?

10 MISSED CALLS FROM MOM

I messed everything up.

It's not your fault.

Seeing how Reporter Ko was at the forefront,

I'm sure Mr. Oh was behind everything.

Whoever was behind it, it's true that I did all those deeds.

Ultimately, it was my meddling and my temper…

that provided a basis for him.

You can see through him. He knew there was no flaw in the message,

so he flawed the messenger.

He was unsure of our next move, so he forestalled us.

It was nonsense for a job seeker

to become CEO in the first place…

No.

Now is not the time to blame yourself. You need a plan.

MS. JUNG

I have bad news.

SILVER LINING PERSONNEL CHANGES AND APPOINTMENTS

-Maybe we should change jobs. -We worked so hard.

SILVER LINING RESTRUCTURING PLAN

-Everyone's moving. -Really?

I now know why they dismissed you from your position.

Bumyoung Electronics is trying

to steal Silver Lining's technology and employees.

FOLLOWING THE DISMISSAL OF PARK IN-SEONG…

-It's a department-wide transfer. -Everyone's moving.

If the technology for Baro Version 4.0 falls into their hands,

they will try to launch it regardless of the bug.

It's an AI machine that makes subjective judgments.

Self-driving cars, refrigerators, induction ranges…

All sorts of accidents can happen anywhere.

We need to stop them.

But there's no way to do that.

Who the hell are you?

Where did you hide Kim Seon-ju?

So you have guts because you take after your father.

That is why you always traveled

to the backwoods during your vacations.

Who are you?

How did you know that?

Do you think that's all?

Get up.

I also know you live in a dorm.

And I know your wife's go-to spot.

I'm going to your family right now.

I don't know what I'll do to them.

Don't go.

Please don't go.

I know this. He kept telling me this.

"Until further notice, you need to keep him alive."

Rather than a large hospital,

somewhere deserted…

Like the hospital where I work.

Look for mental hospitals

or nursing homes in--

-I'll be back soon, -Okay.

so practice sparring.

What?

What? Who are you?

Please stop and leave.

-Thank you. -Goodbye.

An insider gave a testimony saying Park went on top of a table

and set off the sprinklers during a board meeting!

Gosh, this dude is insane.

Isn't it pretty clear?

He obviously set off the sprinklers

because he didn't like how the meeting was going.

On top of that, in July, a board member of Silver Lining

committed suicide.

I don't know if we can call it a coincidence.

You're making sure to eat, right?

I'm on your side no matter what.

Is it true?

Hey, Min-a.

Are you really

a bad person…

The thing is…

…scolder?

What?

What? She is…

You may sit here.

Hold on.

Excuse me.

I want to help.

So what you're saying is

when a full-time employee was treating you unfairly,

Mr. Park In-seong used his power to reprimand him, right?

That's right.

A young man stepped in to help me,

so I was bewildered.

When I listened closely, I realized he was the CEO.

It felt like I was dreaming.

It was probably difficult for you to reach the decision to speak up.

What made you pluck up your courage?

It was a first.

I was always disrespected as a janitor.

And I thought that was natural.

But he's the first…

who told me that's not true.

The first person who spoke up…

for people like us.

What station is it?

Tell them to take it down if they want our advertisements.

It is Silver Lining's online channel.

Call Mr. Kim this instant!

I really wanted to say this.

When Mr. Nam Sang-won

-What are you doing? -mistreated me,

-Mr. Park -You can't do this.

-stood up for me. He's a good person. -Hold on. Don't turn it off.

-I'm so grateful. -Wait.

-Mr. Park… -What are you doing?

Don't turn it off.

Why did you have to turn this on?

I am Silver Lining's interim CEO, Kim Yong-seol.

I also worked under the former CEO, Mr. Park In-seong.

I too…

like this lady, am sitting here because there's something I need to say.

What do you mean by that?

Mr. Park In-seong

proposed a new business model for Silver Lining's AR glasses,

which were on the verge of collapsing.

As a result, we signed contracts with 32 countries, and it is highly likely

for the company to exceed a 19.2% profit gain for the latter half of this year.

Thanks to him,

both Silver Lining and 400 subcontractor employees benefitted.

My experience with Mr. Park tells me…

that he's not only a good person,

but he's also a good CEO.

The CEO title suits him much more than it suits me.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

I'm so glad.

This time, we received a report

that Mr. Park In-seong saved someone's life.

A mother and her baby

were bumped into by a passing man,

which caused her to lose her grip on her stroller on the stairs.

But thanks to Mr. Park In-seong,

the baby was safe.

Park Seon-yeong reports.

On June 23rd, outside exit 2 of Hanguk National University station,

Ms. Yoon was standing there with her stroller.

After bumping into another person,

the stroller with the baby tumbled down the stairs.

At that moment,

there was a citizen who didn't hesitate to launch himself toward the stroller.

It turned out to be Silver Lining's former CEO, Park In-seong.

He left so frantically,

so I wasn't able to receive his contact information or thank him.

But after watching the news lately, I recognized his face,

and he was Park In-seong.

My entire fortune.

BUY

Let's go.

Yes, let's do this!

BUY

BUY

ORDER CONFIRMATION

BUY

I can do it!

ORDER CONFIRMATION

YOUR ORDER IS COMPLETE

The recent so-called retail investor movement

of citizens who demand the reinstatement of Park In-seong

has brought on a buying frenzy of Silver Lining shares.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Right. What about our gas?

-I shut it off. -All right.

The personal seal?

The personal seal? Right.

We're going to be late on our way to Seoul.

Gosh.

Why would we go to Seoul?

We can just go to the town bank.

What are you talking about? We need to go to Silver Lining.

You need to go to the bank to buy stocks.

What? You need to go to the company of the stocks.

Please. You don't even know your stuff. Quit insisting.

-But I'm right! -Give me a break.

-Want to bet? -Why would we make a bet? A bet?

Baro, where do you go to buy stocks?

Yes. Stocks…

Yes?

…can be bought at home with your phone.

-Really? -Really?

I thought

I had lived a successful life.

CERTIFICATE OF MERIT KIM SEON-JU

But when I was in danger,

there was no one beside me whom I could trust.

Whereas,

the people around you willingly stepped up to help you.

Your meddling

and your temper

are returning everything to its rightful place.

Hey, Se-yeon.

There you were. There's going to be a board meeting.

They are going to revisit your dismissal.

Mr. Park,

you may not satisfy my conditions of an ideal CEO.

However,

it's true that you are the CEO that people want.

Why did you do that?

Why did you meddle in a situation

that was already sorted out and have to ruin things like his?

I will handle it.

Did you think you could manipulate the media

and control everything?

That tactic is so old.

We're living in a generation of personal media.

You've lost your touch.

What?

It has already caused a stir among the board members.

Just be patient.

People are like dogs and pigs.

We can't rest assured because they are like dogs and pigs.

They react emotionally, not logically.

People are just following the hype

and chewing out Bumyoung for firing Park In-seong.

A job seeker goes back to being a CEO.

You achieved your dream.

I told you,

my dream was to become an actor.

Right.

Then,

can I ask why you gave that up?

I didn't give it up.

I'm just refraining from pursuing it.

Hopefully, time will sort things out.

Whenever I mentioned my mom,

I always received unwanted consolation.

Do you know what I heard the most?

"Time heals everything."

But…

it's half right and half wrong.

Time doesn't heal anything for you.

It's just during that time,

you learn how to endure and deal with the pain…

until you get used to it.

Se-yeon.

I hope your dream

doesn't become dull.

At our age, we can be anything except for a child actor.

Cheers.

ROYCE ASSOCIATION OF PSYCHOANALYSIS

-Hey, you started it. -Why, you…

-Hey, drag him away! -Wait.

-Hit me. -Seriously.

ROYCE ASSOCIATION OF PSYCHOANALYSIS

It's an emergency.

A man is taking away the patient you brought.

What?

What are you doing?

What in the world?

Help!

What's wrong with you?

Oh, no! He's taking him away!

IDIOT

Please leave--

MS. JUNG 50 MILLION

The person you are trying…

KIDDO'S HOUSE

Hello?

It's me.

Tell Park In-seong that I found Kim Seon-ju.

You found Mr. Kim?

I'll see him at the gym.

What do you mean about Mr. Kim and the gym?

He'll know if you say "the gym"!

Hello?

Gosh. He doesn't listen to others.

How can he be so rude? Gosh.

Therefore, Mr. Park In-seong

has been reappointed as the CEO of Silver Lining.

MR. PARK IN-SEONG HAS THE BEST CHARACTER

THANK YOU, MR. PARK

Hyeon-ho.

Hyeon-ho.

Welcome back.

It is an honor to work with you again.

Where is Kim Seon-ju?

-Park In-seong! -Park In-seong!

TRASH (3 MISSED CALLS)

MS. JUNG

Hello?

He found Mr. Kim!

Why did you go to such great lengths to--

The information leaked.

Hey…

Hey…

CHOCO PIE

No.

Mafi texted me that the information was leaked.

The worst-case scenario comes after that.

Rumors of the disappearance…

It's a relief.

A gift. I drew it during art class.

Ms. Oh, you know me well?

I will take full responsibility.

I possess a lot. What about you, Mr. Park?

Baro Version 4.0 is complete.

-What about Baro Version 4.0? -I'll give it to you, Ms. Oh.

So return Kim Seon-ju.

My entire life,

I have never allowed anything that belonged to me to be taken away.
