(Episode 3)

I'm running late.

You're drinking coffee again?

Don't you know that you have to eat breakfast like a king?

Mind your own business.

Be a king all you want. I'll just live as a servant.

Hey, you have to eat a proper breakfast to...

Stop nagging me, will you?

Well, I'm just worried about your health.

Take care of your own health, please.

Sure, sure. Enjoy your coffee.

- Suk Pyo. - Hi.

- Do you want a cup of coffee? - Yes, please.

Aunt, get me a position at the beauty center.

- You mean as a manager? - No, just a part-time position.

A security guard won't be bad either.

Why would you do that? You're overqualified for such a role.

Well... I get what you're saying,

but do you have to do that?

What's going on?

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

He wants to be an undercover boss.

Undercover?

What is that?

A boss taking a low-level job to secretly experience how things work.

Like a secret inspector?

Well, it's sort of like that. Isn't that right?

But does that even work in this day and age?

It won't be impossible if we keep our lips sealed.

Suk Pyo hasn't revealed himself at all, you know.

A CEO, whose face is not known.

Plus, he got himself a great windbreaker.

Windbreaker?

Choong Seo, go watch the internet if you have time to waste, please.

Secretary Lee's face is all over the internet.

Oh, is that right?

Will you really be able to do it?

Do I look like I'm joking?

Hey. Wait, Suk Pyo.

Mr. CEO.

What exactly did the judge say to you that day?

What's up with the letter of apology?

And what did he mean by experiencing the life of the underprivileged?

- The underprivileged? - Just wait, and see.

Suk Pyo, come on.

What's going on? A letter of apology?

He even wrote a letter of apology? Out of everyone, Suk Pyo did that?

Apparently, the judge was deeply moved by it.

That's the main reason why he's getting away with probation only.

Right, he's always had a talent for literature since he was a kid.

He wrote so many letters of apology for Mom, you know.

What's this? Is this Secretary Lee?

My gosh, this is like "King of Mask Singer".

Is that what he meant by living as the underprivileged?

Being an undercover boss?

I think he's practically declared war against the board of directors.

Gosh, the war has begun. Bang, bang.

I'll start with an announcement.

We hired a male staff member, and he'll be starting soon.

I'll introduce him to all of you when he's here.

A male beauty manager?

No. You've been talking about how understaffed we are.

He'll do everything you need help with.

All right. Let's move on.

Why have we been getting so many complaints from our clients?

All right. Why are you all just standing there?

Let's chant our slogan and start the day.

Beauty, beauty. Stay energetic.

- Stay energetic! - Stay energetic!

This is the limited-edition purse I've been looking for.

- I'll pay for it at once. - Sure.

Miss, it says that your credit card is suspended.

Sorry? That's impossible.

I'll pay with this then.

Haeng Ja! Haeng Ja!

Ms. Kim stepped out, Eun Jo!

Did you think that I'd be scared if you blocked my credit card?

I can spend cash if my credit card doesn't work.

Warning.

What is wrong with this?

Eun Jo, Ms. Kim changed the password for the safe.

- What? - You're not allowed to access it.

- Where is she now? - She's out collecting money.

She said that she'd go to the cafe when she's done.

That woman...

Wait, did she say that she'd head home?

Oh, it has to go to that room over there. This room here.

- Hello, how can I help you today? - Well, Director Goo...

Didn't Director Goo tell you about me?

Oh, are you that male recruit who will do anything and everything?

Anything and everything?

Is that what the director said?

The director?

Yes, that's what Director Goo told us.

Again?

He did that the last time too. Why is he so clumsy? Goodness.

My gosh.

We'll go with a different courier company if this happens again.

Gosh, I'm really sorry.

Please just finish moving them into the room.

- Okay. - Goodness.

They might slip here.

Manager Gong! Just a second. Please come here for a second!

Our clients are getting treatments. Why is he yelling like that?

- Here. - Sorry?

Wipe the floor. Come on.

You want me to mop the floor?

Rinse it well here. Make sure the floor is squeaky clean.

It has to look shiny when you're done, okay? Thanks in advance!

All right, fine. Let's do this. I'll do this.

What is this mess?

Gosh, I already mopped this part. This is so annoying.

Look, don't you have something to say to me?

- Like what? - Gosh. How shameless.

- Look. - Why do you keep saying that? Why?

I slipped and fell because of you. Shouldn't you...

at least ask me if I'm okay? "Did you get injured? I'm sorry."

Isn't that common sense?

That's what I want to say to you.

I fell because you held onto me.

You should apologize to me first, don't you think?

You're the one who caused it.

You're the one who poured water all over here to mop the floor.

Gosh, how shameless.

I fell because you're clumsy. How dare you blame it on me?

Oh, no. My back... Gosh.

He'll get arrested if I have to be hospitalized for four weeks.

Arrested?

What? My goodness. Even my legs aren't moving.

That means I'll be hospitalized for six weeks.

Have you lost your mind?

- You're totally fine. - Hey!

What are you going to do about my clothes?

What now?

"Hey"? Hey, how much do you want?

Wait right here.

Forget it. How much do you want?

How much do you want for apologizing to me?

You're speaking rudely when you just met me.

How much will you give me?

I told you to clean. What are you doing here instead, Mr. Employee?

I told you to mop the floor, not to pour water on it.

You're an employee of this store?

- You should train him again. - What did you just say?

I think you're the one who's being rude.

What's going on?

Does that even work?

Just give me a minute.

I wonder if we should call someone to fix it.

Gosh. Organizing this place doesn't seem to end.

Ma'am, please give up on that already,

- so we can open the door again. - My gosh.

Our next-door neighbor won't run here to complain, right?

They must've been giving us so many hard times.

Both of us are so intimidated, right?

- Exactly. - Gosh.

Anyway, it's true that I fell!

What? Isn't this Eun Jo's voice?

Why are you two making a fuss over such a petty thing?

This is the voice of Director Terrible at the store next door.

I see. I understand what you said.

You don't seem to have gotten hurt.

We'll pay you to get your clothes cleaned.

Are we good now?

No. I don't want you to pay for getting my clothes cleaned.

What I want is his apology.

It looks like my employee has made a mistake.

I said I will apologize on his behalf.

Both parties are at fault. Why should I apologize?

Why, Miss?

"Both parties are at fault"?

Are you studying law as well?

Which part do you want me to apologize for?

Cleaning the floor? Falling down with you?

Or not paying for dry cleaning because I left my wallet behind?

That's an odd way to apologize.

My goodness. Director Goo, it's been a while.

- Manager Gong, it's been a while. - Hello.

Tall Young Man, I haven't seen you either for a while...

I mean, it's nice to see you for the first time.

Please stay out of this.

My name is Park Bo Geum. You know that.

I don't know what happened, but she apologized. Let's go now.

Let go of me. I still have a lot to say.

Have a nice day.

Seriously. Was she working at that cafe?

Gosh. Everyone working there is just like her.

Come on.

Let go of me already.

What did you do there?

Gosh. Seriously. No one at that beauty center is normal.

What's wrong with him?

Hey, you might catch a cold.

Do you want to go in and get changed?

I can just dry it while wearing it.

Where is Haeng Ja?

She didn't come. She rarely comes since we're repairing the interior.

- No, no. She went home before. - How do you know that?

I ran into her when I went to the supermarket before.

She said she'd go home because something urgent came up.

Something urgent?

She stopped me from using any money. Why would she be busy?

I'll get going.

Hey, wait. Eun Jo.

Eun Jo.

I have a feeling that I should stop her. What should I do?

Ms. Park, come on.

Don't be nosy.

- It's their problem. - Right.

Ms. Kim is in a bad mood every day recently.

She'll be okay, right?

Suk Pyo, are you okay?

Wipe your clothes.

That's okay.

Gosh.

What did I tell you? I told you it's not an easy job.

You told her to give me any work necessary.

That's what you should do in your position.

Isn't there a cleaner in this building?

How are you going to work here if you're so picky?

You have to do all of the chores including cleaning.

Do you know how many workers our company needs?

Wasn't that why you wanted to be an undercover boss?

If you'll do it, do it properly.

If you won't, quit now before it's not too late.

I haven't formally introduced you, so think it through, okay?

Isn't it that you feel pressured to have me here?

Gosh. Why would you say such a thing?

I just don't want you to go through a hard time here.

I didn't make this decision on impulse.

Of course you wouldn't do that.

However, Suk Pyo.

When will you formally introduce me?

I'll do it this afternoon. Come around 2pm.

Okay.

But, Suk Pyo, wouldn't working at the headquarters be better?

This isn't so bad. I won't be criticized for my appearance.

- Haeng Ja. - Yes?

Are you going somewhere?

How do I look? What do you think?

Why? Do I look weird?

No. You look pretty.

Are you going on a blind date?

- Yes. - Really? Are you serious?

Who is he? What kind of man is he?

Why? Am I not allowed to go on a blind date?

Hey. I found someone to set Eun Jo up with,

and his mother will be there as well.

Well, Eun Jo won't complain about my clothes, right?

Were you talking about Eun Jo?

Wait a moment.

Gosh. Myung Jo would cry if I go on a blind date.

Why would I go on a blind date?

- Put this on. - What?

This... No, no. I can't.

It's okay.

You're going there as Eun Jo's mom.

Look. It looks great on you. I mean it.

Eun Jo will throw a fit.

Besides, I don't want to wear it.

It indicates that you're Eun Jo's guardian.

I'm sure Eun Jo won't complain either.

Do you really think so?

Just trust me, Haeng Ja.

In fact, this brooch does make me look better.

However, that's just your opinion, Myung Jo.

I bet Eun Jo would think otherwise.

Gosh. Who could that be?

Hello?

Yes. Hi, Ms. Oh.

What? That soon?

I haven't even told Eun Jo yet.

Her date is going on a business trip overseas?

Haeng Ja! Haeng Ja!

I'll call you back after telling Eun Jo. Okay. Bye.

You're home. I'm glad you came back.

How could you really do this to me?

If you cancel my credit card and stop me from using cash...

You don't need to yell at me.

So let's sit down and have a nice talk.

Why are you standing there? I said I have to tell you something too.

Oh, this. Well, I'll explain.

Why are you wearing that?

It's not like that, Eun Jo. Actually, Myung Jo...

Don't you know that's the only thing my mom left?

Well... Just let me explain.

You're mistaken.

I am looking at it with my own eyes.

I can see you wearing...

my mom's brooch that was in my room. What am I mistaken about?

Eun Jo. I put that on Haeng Ja.

Stay out of this.

I told her to wear it just when she goes with you on a blind date.

"A blind date"?

Do you want to act like my mom that much?

- Eun Jo. - Stay out of this!

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I only wanted to save your face... That's not it.

I didn't even intend to wear this to the meeting. Really.

I hate it when you act like my mom like this.

It's for your own sake.

Don't even think of me. I don't need you to do that.

Whatever you say, I'm your guardian.

It's time for you to accept that.

That will never happen.

- What on earth is your problem? - Do you really not know?

Don't meddle in my life! You embarrass me!

I hate you because you're ignorant!

Because... Because I'm ignorant?

You're right. I'm undereducated.

You're not just undereducated.

You're despicable! Do you think I don't know?

- You caused my mom... - Eun Jo, that's enough.

What did I do? What did I do?

Haeng Ja! Eun Jo, go in.

She called me despicable.

What did she say? I'm ignorant?

Let go of me!

What's wrong with you?

- I'm going to say it today. - Say what?

She caused our mom to die.

- I told you that's not true. - How would you know?

- You were only six then. - It's not true.

You're mistaken.

That can't be.

The nurse with a big head told me that our mom wouldn't have died...

if that woman donated her kidney to our mom.

Like I said, you're mistaken.

Whose side are you on?

Whose side? Are we playing sports or something?

I checked out Mom's medical records.

Haeng Ja took a test for transplant,

but she couldn't give her kidney because she didn't match.

You're lying.

Can't you believe me? I'm a medical student.

I'm a mere student, but I know how to read medical records.

How could you even get access to her medical records?

They didn't show it even to me, her own daughter.

I barely managed to get a chance through my professor.

Haeng Ja's existence alone was like poison to our mom.

Of course.

I guess saying that will make you feel better.

- What? - You seem precarious these days.

It looks like you're living to hate Haeng Ja.

- Can't I? - Right, you can.

You're free to hate her all you want,

but don't talk about what never happened as if it's the truth.

If you keep this up, I really won't let it slide.

Hey, Myung Jo!

What will you do if you won't let it slide?

Do I have to walk on eggshells around you too now?

You have no idea how I feel!

Hello?

Who?

Oh, Byun Bu Sik.

All right. I'll be there soon.

Tell him to wait for just a little while. Okay.

- The perm turned out great. - It looks really good.

- I think it'll go flat soon. - My goodness.

Come back if that happens. We'll fix it for you.

- Bye! - Goodbye.

Hey, go buy some coffee.

- We've run out of coffee. - I already bought some.

- What? Then go get some sugar. - We have enough of sugar.

Hey, go get an ice pop for me. It's so hot.

You're hot? In this weather?

I'm getting hot flashes due to my menopause.

- Go on. - Okay, I heard you.

Goodness, why do I have to run such errands for you?

- What was that about? - You've been here the whole time?

I didn't know.

Gosh, that woman...

Stop that.

Stop what?

I can't because I don't have that much time on my hands unlike you.

Will you not even offer me a cup of coffee?

Don't even dream of it.

I can't give you coffee because I have no time to drink coffee.

Goodness. Stop giving me that spiel, will you?

Why should I?

Well, where are the kids? Shouldn't they be coming back from work soon?

Why are you looking for them?

- What is it? Are you out of money? - Goodness.

I'm their dad. It's nothing abnormal for me to want to see them.

- You're not like normal dads. - Gosh!

Whether they hate me or not, I'm still their dad,

and they're still my children, okay?

Do they not even worry about whether I'd be starving or not?

How can they not even give me a call for almost a year?

What on earth did you teach them?

Whose dog is barking like this?

Look at how you're treating me. They're becoming more like you.

What did you just say?

What's your problem? Isn't it true?

They say that children always reflect their parents' behavior.

Watch that mouth of yours, will you?

Goodness, you still have such a foul mouth.

You're still far from being elegant.

They obviously couldn't have learned about filiality or ethics from you.

That's why they're living their lives as if I don't even exist.

In "The Book of Filial Duty",

it says that our parents gifted us with our bodies...

and that taking good care of them...

Hey, Jung Geun Sup!

Am I her minion or what?

How can she make me run such petty errands for her?

I'm Dong Mi Ae...

I was scammed too.

Give me some time. I'll earn money and pay you back soon.

Neighbors should help out each other, you know.

Aren't I right?

- Hasn't your son told you? - About what?

Your lawyer son paid me back.

Gosh, you used to brag about him every chance you got.

He sure deserves to be bragged about.

- My son paid you back? - He seems very dependable.

Gosh, I feel bad.

What are you doing?

Buy one for yourself with that money.

Goodness, you're so mean.

You should learn from your son.

My goodness.

Get lost.

How crude. What on earth are you doing now?

Yes, I'm crude.

Have you forgotten? Are you a bonehead or what?

I've been crude all my life!

You little... Gosh.

What happened?

I bet that jerk is shortening my life span.

I should die. I should just die.

Is he In Woo's dad?

I should've at least seen his face.

They say that having no kids gives you a comfortable life,

but it looks like divorcees have it better.

Gosh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

I had to go home because something came up.

Oh, please have a seat.

I'm sorry I made you wait when I asked you to come all the way here.

It's okay.

So? What happened with your mom's 4,800 dollars?

It was clearly a fraud, so I reported it to the police.

By the way, why did you want to see me today?

The person who's been helping me out is in a critical condition now,

so I've been on the lookout for someone new.

What do you say?

Will you help me?

What do you need help with?

Money. My money.

It's a lot more than what you're probably thinking now.

I used to store them under my floor when I was trying to save a lot,

but money is a strange creature.

Problems arise even when you have too much of it.

How about you see a tax accountant for tax-related issues...

and visit a law firm for legal issues?

I obviously know that.

I don't want to pay a tax accountant's...

electricity bills with my money.

The same goes with law firms.

Why me?

When I told you that I was off to collect my money,

you threatened me...

not to lend money at such a high interest rate like 25 percent.

Well, that's not what I meant.

I know. You were worried about me, right?

That's why I like you.

I see. Thank you for thinking so highly of me.

You'll help me, right?

Please give me some time to think.

- All right. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Goodbye.

You're throwing something out again.

It looks fine. Why are you throwing that out?

You're being so wasteful.

- Yang Ah! - It's gone bad.

I should dump it in the compost bin, right? Please give it back.

Goodness, you can still eat this. Why would you want to waste it?

Food should never be wasted.

Ms. Kim! It has really gone bad.

It won't kill me.

And you'll get punished if you throw out food.

Eun Jo will kill me if she finds out about this.

She told me to throw it out yesterday.

Don't tell Eun Jo, okay?

All youngsters are so spoiled.

They won't know how precious rice is until they starve.

And don't throw this out either.

We can use it at least 10 times. Here.

I can't believe this.

Attention, everyone.

This is the new hire who will work with us from today, Hong Suk...

Sorry. This is Mr. Hong Suk.

Hong Suk?

He'll do whatever we need him to do here,

so don't hesitate to ask him for help.

Aren't I right, Mr. Hong Suk?

Yes. I'm Hong Suk.

I welcome you on behalf of our staff members.

Please help us out a lot.

Okay.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

- How can we help you? - Me?

Oh, these are from the headquarters.

Here.

"Customer Satisfaction Survey"?

Who asks customers to fill out manual surveys like this these days?

We have him now.

Didn't you hire him for these things?

These days, companies communicate with customers through social media.

This is so old-fashioned.

Hang on a second.

Gosh, this is... Why did you bring this?

They're new lipsticks that we stopped producing,

but the details... Oh, right.

Shall I take them to your office?

Pardon me? Oh, right. Yes.

Sure. All right then. Beauty, beauty. You're dismissed.

Beauty, beauty.

Is your name Suk?

Does "Suk" mean rock?

Think whatever you want.

Why is he so stiff?

He reminds me of someone.

- Me? - Maybe.

Then I will wait outside, sir.

Gosh. I'll be called "Rock" now.

I would've come up with another name if I've known this would happen.

You know how things work these days.

Your face hasn't been revealed, but everyone knows your name.

Let's put it aside. Why did we stop producing this product?

I never got a report on that.

Must a chairman report to a director?

Did you give this order, Chairman Hong?

I told you this isn't the right color several times.

I couldn't delay the launch just because of that, Chairman Hong.

- Then you should've kept this out. - It was the executives' decision.

You ignored the chairman's opinion but followed the executives'?

What are you going to do with these?

Come up with an idea of using them, and submit a report, Director Goo.

Yes, Chairman Hong.

However, will you really conduct the survey, Chairman Hong?

You'll have to walk around all day long, Chairman Hong.

I'll be a proper undercover boss.

What does a survey have to do with...

Do you think it will be useful, Chairman Hong?

Don't you think you'll work in vain, Chairman Hong?

I came to wonder if the executives told me the truth...

about the consumers' opinions.

I'll find out on my own.

I need information to fight against the executives. Shall I go on?

Gosh. No, Chairman Hong.

It's a very good idea, Chairman Hong.

Aren't you going to stop saying, "Chairman Hong"?

I will stop it if you tell me to, Chairman Hong.

Do we have to finish this today?

It's not a lot of work. Of course we have to finish it today.

You'll do it again if you do it half-heartedly. Do it properly now.

- Do it properly now. - Yes, Chairman Hong.

I'll go behind the school. You go to the market.

I'm the secretary of the chairman, not a beauty center employee.

But Chairman Hong, this survey...

I told you not to call me that.

Then what should I call you?

Don't call me "Chairman Hong" from now on.

So what should I call you from now on?

Let's just call each other like brothers.

How old are you?

I'm 35.

What?

So I'm... My goodness.

I'm five years older than you.

- Hey, my little brother. - What did you say?

- How do you like it? - No.

I'll think about it. So just go on, and conduct the survey.

Yes, Chairman Hong.

Okay.

When did he get so old?

4, 6.

There's none like you in this whole world

You're the only one for me, my love

Even if I look at you so many times

I never get tired of you, my darling

(Hate to Love You)

How much is this?

She's paying...

in 12 monthly installments, but she paid only two of them.

What's wrong with buying what I want with the money I earned myself?

- Eun Jo? - Didn't Haeng Ja go to the cafe?

- No, she didn't. - I shouldn't have said that.

I crossed the line.

Choong Seo, I need to talk to you. Choong Seo?

Did he step out again?

He's so dead.

If you care about her that much, why do you act like that?

I'll do whatever I want.

How would you live if Haeng Ja disappears now?

Money isn't the problem.

Both you and I will be left alone in this world.

Haeng Ja! What happened? Are you all right?

Haeng Ja. Open your eyes. Please don't die.

Mom...
