[Beautiful Gong Shim]
Cheers!
[Episode 3] Congratulations!
Thank you.
Oh, wow.
Father.
Dad, how did you find out where I live?
You met Auntie?
Yeah.
Didn't you miss me for those five years? How could you not have called me once?
That's why I came now.
You probably came for the food, not to see me.
You keep eating without even looking at me.
I feel so bad I can't look you in the eye.
If you really feel that bad then don't leave me again.
What is he doing?
Is he fixing that because I told him that's my favorite chair?
What are you doing?
I found some tools in front of Dan Tae's room.
I fixed the chair's legs.
I bought some ice pops for dessert, have some.
Thanks.
Why did it melt?
The freezer at the store must be broken. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Here, try it out.
Then...
It's not shaky at all. You're the best.
I love sitting on this chair and looking down at the neighborhood.
Thank you.
I'm surprised you know how to do this as the director of a big company.
I'm taking carpentry lessons at a furniture studio.
I like tables and chairs, so I wanted to make my own.
I see.
I want to learn how to make chairs, too.
Take some classes then. It's a lot of fun.
The furniture studio I go to is very nice.
But the classes are all full right now.
They aren't able to take in more students.
Should I look into another furniture studio for you?
No. I can do an online search.
I guess we'll run into each other at the company now.
You have a high position at the company, you can pretend not to know me.
Even if you have to deal with me, you can just mistreat me.
I'm letting you know ahead of time.
Why would I mistreat you?
- Since you are in a high position. - But we're friends, I can't do that.
Friends?
Just consider me your work senior not someone in a high position.
If you need help, let me know.
How can a human be so perfect?
Mom! Dad!
I got in! I got hired!
- I got hired at Star Group! - You said you didn't get to interview.
- Stop kidding around. - There's a lot of fraud companies.
- You should be careful. - No, Dad, this isn't a fraud.
I really got the job, I got hired!
You really got the job?
Not as a sales girl, guess what position?
Don't be surprised.
I got hired as...
Star Group President's secretary.
What? The president's secretary?
What are you talking about?
Star Group President's secretary? You?
Do you know what kind of girls get to be group president's secretaries?
They have to be pretty and intelligent.
You should find out for sure.
I checked with the hiring department.
I will be starting work tomorrow.
Gong Shim! Good job, I'm so proud of you.
Honey, say something.
- Dad! - Your dad is fainting.
Honey. Honey! Honey, get a hold of yourself.
Get a hold of yourself! Honey!
Kim Eun Ah, Lee Ji Young, Park Sung Ho.
You looked down on me, and didn't invite me to your housewarming
even after I went to your weddings.
I'm a different girl now.
- That's her. - Look at her.
Joon Soo, these are my married friends.
You must be Gong Shim's friends who didn't invite her to your housewarmings.
Don't even think about coming to our housewarming party.
Honey...
Cutie.
Bye.
I must be crazy.
Crazy, crazy, crazy!
You must have been imagining something.
You scared me.
You were shaking and hitting your head saying you were crazy.
You must have been thinking about something embarrassing.
What the heck? No, you're wrong.
You curled your wig and you're having sweet thoughts.
You must be really into Joon Soo.
- I told you no, jerk... - Jerk?
No, can you stop saying that? You're making me so mad.
Hey!
But it's so obvious.
I'll have to ask Joon Soo tomorrow when I see him.
I'm sure he knows... Maybe not...
No, I'm sure he knows.
- What's wrong? - It's that obvious?
Totally.
- You can't tell Joon Soo. - Why not?
Don't ask me why. Just don't do it.
You better not tell him, okay?
- That all depends on you. - I won't disappoint you.
Yeah?
I'll be living with my dad soon.
But this room is little too tight for both of us.
It doesn't even have a kitchen.
Yeah, I'm sure.
So I want to move to a bigger room immediately.
Yeah.
But I've already paid this month's rent up front.
Yeah, you did.
So please calculate the days and return the extra money.
What is that?
If you move out early, you can't get your money back.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Maybe I should ask Joon Soo what he thinks.
Wait.
I think it might be possible.
Why don't you go look for a bigger room for you and your father?
I'll calculate the days, and return the extra money to you, but...
you better not say anything to Joon Soo.
Oh, Joon Soo!
You should meet with the visitors from China and show them around.
- I need to visit the temple at Cheonan. - Yes, Mother.
Maybe I should go to the Chinese restaurant in front of the company
and treat them to black bean noodles.
Stop doing that. You look like a fool.
I don't understand why you guys don't find me funny
everybody else loves my jokes.
The female employees are just playing along.
If somebody laughs at your corny jokes
you should realize that she's just being a brown noser.
Keep those jokes to yourself.
Joon Soo, that chauffeur you brought over the other day.
When you went to Cheonan to visit the temple?
Yeah, tell him to come drive me there today.
- Grandma, actually... - What about Chauffeur Park?
- You already have a chauffeur. - Tell him to come.
Okay, Grandma.
Be determined. Stick around no matter what happens.
No matter what hardships come my way, I'll stick around.
I can do it...
Is it my nerves?
It must be irritable bowel syndrome...
Gong Shim, who's your connection?
How did you get to be the president's secretary right away?
- I have no connections. - What does your father do?
My father?
Get a hold of yourself!
I really don't have any connections, I mean that.
So you don't want to tell me?
Fine. This is your desk.
If you sit here, the president will call for you.
Thank you.
Secretary Gong speaking.
I will transfer your call to the president.
Hello. Come in.
Yes.
- Are you Ms. Gong Shim? - Yes.
Hello.
- Yes, I am-- - She's my wife.
Madame.
- Honey. - Yeah.
I need to treat our Chinese visitors to a nice meal today.
What do you think about treating them to black bean noodles
at the Chinese restaurant?
Yes, I think that's a fine idea.
What did I say? I told you we picked a good secretary.
Thank you.
This is insane.
I have a meeting with the officers.
Come have a seat.
Yes.
There are a few things you need to keep in mind as the president's secretary.
You cannot talk about our family, the Chairman, President, and Director Suk
with anybody outside the company.
Do you understand?
Yes.
And the president's personal life...
To be more exact, women issues...
You must keep the president's personal life a secret to everyone.
Just report to me directly.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
Yes.
Good, I believed in you and hired you so don't let me down.
Yes, I understand.
[98-7 2nd Street Hannam Yongsan, Seoul]
Hello, Grandma.
Why are you late, young man?
I'm sorry...
I'm already three minutes late. I'm so sorry...
Grandma.
It looks like you've gotten at least 10 years younger.
You went there already. You know the way, right?
Yes, of course.
But Grandma, if you keep getting young like this...
by the next time we meet, you'll be young enough to be my friend.
Are you a crook? You think that makes sense?
I'll keep my mouth shut.
[Suk Joon Pyo. September 7, 1987.]
I'm sorry, but I'm not in the office today.
The office secretary is in.
The pictures of the hired demolition men assaulting you
and the residents petition...
Please make sure the votive candle for Joon Pyo doesn't blow out.
That candle hasn't been blown out in the past 20 years.
- You don't need to worry. - Please pray that he will return safely.
Were you waiting long?
Let's go eat some noodles on our way up.
- I'm really sorry... - What is it?
I was moving the car and accidentally scratched it up a little.
What? Where?
- It's just a little bit... - This isn't just a little scratch.
How could you do this?
I'm so sorry, I wasn't being careful.
I knew you looked careless.
I'm sorry, I'll pay to get it fixed.
What is this? You should have been careful!
Just start the car.
Grandma, I was going to hold it in...
- What is it now? - May I please go to the bathroom?
What were you doing until now?
I didn't have to go before, but my stomach hurts all of a sudden.
- Go hurry up! - I'll be back as soon as possible.
Seriously...
I'll be back as soon as possible.
Whatever...
- What is it? - You must be his grandmother.
- Did that young man go somewhere? - He went to the bathroom.
Why are you looking for him?
These are some herbs I got from the mountains.
It may not be worth much, but please take them with you to Seoul.
Why are you giving that to me?
No matter how much I think about it...
I can't just leave after doing this to the car...
That's why I came back.
- You did this? - Yes...
Your grandson didn't tell you?
The office secretary is in.
Can you bring the pictures of the hired demolition men assaulting you?
Oh, no...
- Oh, no... - What am I going to do?
Oh my God, what do I do? What are you going to do?
This must be an expensive car. I'm so sorry.
It won't be enough even if you sell all this, what am I going to do?
Grandma, hurry and just run away.
- What? - I didn't see anything.
- Just go. - Still...
You have no time to be idling around.
If you get caught, you'll be in big trouble.
I'll pretend I didn't see anything, so just go.
Thank you so much...
It's okay, just go.
Okay, I didn't see anything.
I didn't see anything. Get home safely.
Oh my God, what am I going to do?
I'm sorry, Grandma.
Are you still mad?
Would you mind if I pay you in 12 monthly installments?
How do I trust you?
Yeah, I guess not...
What about three monthly payments?
You must be very angry.
You want to be in charge of Star Group's lawsuit?
Yes, Sir.
Currently, Attorney Choi Seo Jin is handling the case.
You want to steal her case?
I'm sorry, but I really want to be in charge of that case.
You know it's not a small matter to steal your senior's case, right?
I didn't want to have to say this, but...
I know that Attorney Choi Seo Jin is planning to move to another law firm.
What did you say?
Are you sure?
Hello.
What's this?
You are that unpleasant girl from before.
You really got the job?
- Pardon? - Stop playing dumb.
You called me a dogster.
Oh, yes... I do remember.
"Oh, yes... I do remember?"
Director Yeom...
Sir, you'll really keep her as your secretary?
What can I do when my wife placed her there?
She must have been really mad over your affair.
Why are you saying that here?
Let's go in.
Should I get tea ready?
A dog doesn't drink tea.
Are you going to call me Director Dog from now on?
Answer me!
- Yes, Sir. - What?
No, I didn't mean to say that.
She's really driving me insane.
Do I really need to tolerate this girl?
I can't fire her, I'll have to make her quit herself.
Ms. Gong.
Yes?
Get it ready for us in 20 minutes.
Yes, Sir!
Let's go in.
20 minutes...
Five minutes...
I'm Manager Jung Eun Chul from the law department.
I'm Attorney Gong Mi.
I thought I had an interview with Director Suk Joon Soo.
Oh, you can talk to me.
Please have a seat.
I would like to interview Director Suk Joon Soo directly.
He's the third generation of the royal owner family.
He doesn't come out here.
You can speak to me.
Ms. Gong Shim!
Director Suk.
How's your first day at work?
I have no idea what I'm doing yet.
I just received the secretary's manual. Then I'll get going.
Why are you in such a hurry?
- The president's not even in. - How did you know that?
You just know these things when you work here.
You didn't make any mistakes?
Well... The president told me to get everything ready in 20 minutes
so I got tea ready.
But he yelled at me for not getting the car ready.
Hey, she's in there?
She's with a guest.
A guest?
Which guest?
I heard he's the chauffeur that drove her today.
A chauffeur?
Yes, Grandma, I'll do that.
Okay, then come back with the detailed plan.
I'll get going.
Hello, Sir.
Mother.
Why is the chauffeur sitting in your office?
- What detailed plan is he bringing back? - You don't need to know.
Oh, no...
It's only been a few hours since you started.
But you already know Director Suk?
Girls like you need to be taught a lesson for the sake of our office.
What did I do wrong?
I don't know how you got the job with your face and your education level.
Do you know how shocked we were?
We were completely speechless.
The madame chose you because you are ugly.
Because she wanted to control her husband's women problems.
The only reason you got chosen is because you are unpleasant and ugly.
She just wanted you to keep an eye on her husband.
Let's go.
Gong Shim!
Wow, I'm so happy to see you here.
What are you doing at our company?
I got myself into a little bit of trouble, so I came to resolve that.
Wow.
I shouldn't say this, but you should really pull yourself together.
Okay, I'll do that. I'm sorry.
- Do something productive. - Yes, I'll do that...
Oh, the elevator is here. I'm going!
- Secretary Gong! - Yes, Sir.
- That man you were just talking to... - Yes, Sir.
- Who is he? - His name is Ahn Dan Tae.
I know, but who is he?
His name is Ahn Dan Tae.
I'm asking what your relationship with him is.
Relationship?
- How much do you know about Ahn Dan Tae? - I don't know much.
- You don't know anything about him? - I know just a little bit.
A little bit?
A little bit more than just a little bit.
Then tell me everything you know.
Everything?
- All of it. - All of it?
Yeah, every little detail.
Then... His name is Ahn Dan Tae.
He pays 250,000 won a month for an attic room.
He eats three meals a day at the convenience store.
He's got a lot of bonus points at the convenience store.
I heard that his point level is just below that of the store owner's level.
He eats everything well.
I even saw him pick something up from the ground to eat it.
He likes wearing capri pants.
I personally don't like it when men wear capri pants.
He usually wears flip-flops, and he's got a lot of dirt stuck between his toes.
His talking style... He's very annoying and distasteful.
He's very good at making people angry.
I've heard him cursing at his friends over the phone.
He works as a driver in the evening to earn a living.
He owns a law office. He is a lawyer.
Law... Lawyer?
Yes.
He's really a lawyer?
He just looks like human trash.
I've been to his law office.
He really is a lawyer.
Saying it myself, Ahn Dan Tae is a really useless man.
He's completely not my type.
Ms. Gong, find out more about that man.
Find out what he used to do, his family, his friends, and any money problems.
Find out if he really is a lawyer, and what he does at that law office.
Do I really have to?
I'm trying to see if you are qualified to be my secretary.
You better do well.
If you can't do it, you're just not qualified enough.
Yes, Sir.
Is it okay to do this behind his back?
As long as I only report the truths about the attic room guy
it shouldn't be a problem.
Yes, hello?
Hello? I'm Gong Shim.
What?
Hello, it's Gong Shim.
What's wrong with you?
You have a stuffy nose?
- A sinus infection? - Neither.
Then what is it?
Why do you sound so nasal? You're giving me the chills.
Do you have time today?
No, I'm getting ready to go out to meet someone.
Yeah?
Why?
I just asked.
I felt a little like drinking.
You got chosen because you're unpleasant and ugly.
So you can keep an eye on her husband.
We are neighbors after all.
We haven't even had a chance to drink together.
Being your landlord, I thought I should have been a little more friendly.
Okay, let's go for a drink then.
- I thought you were meeting someone. - They don't like to drink.
I've been craving a drink, too. Let's go drink.
Where do you want to meet?
Feels good.
Nice.
So I heard enough about your middle school days.
What about high school?
You still only went around fighting in high school, too?
Tell me all the details.
Yeah, I didn't study much. I went around fighting...
But why are you interrogating me about my life all of a sudden?
I'm not interrogating you.
We're just having a conversation.
Let me mix another drink for you.
We don't have enough.
I'll bring more on my way back from the bathroom.
He's so not my type.
He's not that willing to share his story... subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
He drinks well, I should feed him more.
Nobody can stand up to liquor.
For me, just a little bit.
I'm sorry, but we have a big group.
Would you mind changing seats?
No, not at all.
Just leave it, and go.
Thank you.
Here, one shot.
- Drink it in one gulp. - Okay.
This drink is a little too light.
You're right.
Gong Shim.
I never say this to anyone.
I'm actually a little dumb.
I know, you look it.
That's only when you look at my outer appearance.
You know the multiplication table, right?
Especially the seven times table.
I still can't memorize that.
- Seven times six? - 42.
Pretty good.
That seven times table is so hard for me, Ahn Dan Taxi.
Ahn Dan Taxi?
- You mean An Dan Tae. - Ahn Dan Taxi.
- Have you seen my sister? - Yes, I have.
You like her, right? You do, right?
What are you saying? You are too drunk. Let's get going.
All men like my sister when they see her.
Why?
Because she's pretty.
Do you know what my biggest fault was in life?
Being ugly.
That's my fault.
It's just my fault, all of it.
Do you know what my favorite game is?
Hide and seek.
Ever since I was young, my parents never cared about me.
They only looked for my sister and called for my sister.
So I would hide away, so nobody would see me.
Completely away.
They would only know that I was missing when the evening came.
Still, I was so happy that they would be searching for me.
So I kept hiding.
You have no idea how good I am at hiding.
The glass is empty. I'm going to drink more.
We've had enough for today. Let's get going.
No, I had chicken drumsticks for the first time when I was 20.
Do you know why?
Whenever we would order chicken, only Dad and my sister would get the drumsticks.
I had no idea drumsticks were so good.
Are you okay?
Ahn Dan Tae.
Let's go to the stew place over there, and have one more bottle of soju.
Just one more bottle.
Stop talking nonsense, let's just go home.
Let's go.
Seriously.
What's your problem?
Fine, I'll go home. Let's just play one game of hide and seek.
- Then I'll go home. - Just one game, okay?
Fine, start then.
Start!
Gong Shim!
Where did she go?
Gong Shim!
Gong Shim...
You wouldn't have found me if I didn't laugh, right?
I'm so good.
I need a shot of this historical moment.
Give me the bag.
Cheese.
So funny! You kept walking back and forth, right?
So funny!
My stomach...
Gong Shim.
You shouldn't stay here.
I'm speechless.
This isn't right.
No, you found me too late. You need to play one more game.
Start looking after you count to 10, start!
Let's go home now!
Gong Shim!
Where are you hiding? Let's go home!
Gong Shim.
Where are you hiding? Let's go home.
Come out.
You shouldn't be hiding in there, get out!
Gong Shim, come out.
Gong Shim...
Gong Shim!
Mr. Driver...
Please drop me off at the end of the alley, in front of the convenience store.
Okay.
Mr. Driver.
Have you ever seen anyone get hired for a job because she's ugly?
Damn job...
How could they ridicule me like that?
My educational background, family background, and skills are all trash.
But thanks to my ugly looks, I got hired for the job.
Awesome, right?
I have pride, too.
But I couldn't say anything.
I didn't know what to say.
Mr. Driver.
Please wake me up when we get there.
Move out of the way.
The whole room smells like alcohol.
I'm dying.
Why did you drink so much when you have work?
I'm regretting it myself, so you don't need to say anything.
Hey, you know Director Suk Joon Soo well?
I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to say anything about the company at all.
What the heck?
But how do you know Director Suk Joon Soo?
He's involved with one of our law firm's lawsuits.
Yeah?
What should I wear?
[Director Suk Joon Soo]
Do you remember the furniture studio I mentioned to you?
They had a student leave, so they have one vacant spot.
You should go register during lunch hour today.
Sky Furniture Studio behind the Seogyo post office.
See you there tonight.
Gong Shim, come help me season the stew.
Hurry, come on.
Okay.
Gong Shim.
Did you get to eat?
You drank a lot last night.
Can we forget about last night's incident?
Of course, I should forget about it and delete everything.
I'll delete this photo, too.
Photo?
- You didn't delete the photo? - No.
I was going to wait to send it to you, so I didn't delete it.
It's not just any picture, you have to take a look.
It's up to you if you want to delete it after looking.
- Delete it in front of me. - You don't need to worry.
You think I would save it, and send it to Joon Soo later?
I'll keep it a secret from Joon Soo.
- Come on, send and delete. - I sent it.
- I didn't get it. - What are you talking about?
[Suk Joon Soo]
What's wrong?
We were talking about Joon Soo, so I sent it to him by accident.
What?
Give that to me!
Oh my God!
Oh, no...
You!
I'm going to kill you!
There's nothing you've found out about Ahn Dan Tae?
I'm sorry.
Okay then.
This isn't a "V."
I'll give you two days from now.
Find out all the details about Ahn Dan Tae and report back to me.
If you don't do a good job, it'll definitely impact your position.
Keep that in mind and go.
Do you remember the furniture studio I mentioned to you?
They had a student leave, so they have one opening.
Go register during lunch hour.
It's lunchtime.
If I register for the furniture class, I'll have to face Director Suk.
- Yeah, Gong Mi. - Where are you?
In front of the company.
Lunch hour?
Can you bring my registered seal from home?
I need to go to Seogyo. Mom and dad aren't home?
They're not home.
I'm in a hurry, please bring it for me.
I'm busy right now. You should go yourself.
How can I go when I'm with a client? Can't you just bring it for me?
You're so annoying. Why are you doing this to me?
Gong Mi, I'm in your room.
Yeah, where is it?
What?
Why did you make me come without searching for it at work?
What the heck?
It's hard enough for me as it is.
I'm so annoyed, hang up.
Hello.
- Hello. - I came to register for classes.
I'm sorry, but all the spaces have been filled.
What?
I heard that an opening came up today.
Yes, but someone just came to register for classes.
I'm sorry, but we take students in the order they come.
I see... Goodbye then.
Goodbye.
Nice.
Joon Soo, I have a favor to ask you.
Can you delete that picture of Gong Shim in the trash?
Why did you send it to me if you want me to delete it?
I can't do that.
I saved it, so I can look at it when I feel down.
Gong Shim almost pulled out all my hair because I sent that to you.
Can you please delete it? I sent it by accident.
- I'll think about it. - Come on, why are you doing that?
I even bought you lunch.
Should I give you money for the lunch?
That's not what I meant.
That picture...
Please just delete it.
Anyway, why did she go in the trash?
It's making me laugh again.
Gong Shim wanted to play hide and seek.
It must have been fun.
It's all because we drank too much.
I want to get drunk and do that, too.
I've never done that before.
Really? Then go drink with Gong Shim.
I'm going to see Gong Shim later. I hope I don't burst out laughing.
Oh, you're meeting her later? Where?
I told her about a furniture studio, and she said she wants to learn, too.
So we're going to take classes together.
I see.
She'll be coming to the studio later.
Attention please. We have a new student joining us today.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, it's nice to meet you. My name is Gong Mi.
I came because I don't like the commercial chairs being sold in stores.
It's a pleasure to be here.
This will be your table from now on.
There's a lot of meaning here. All the holes here have a specific purpose.
This right here...
Anybody here?
He left the office empty?
Who are you?
You work here?
Where's Ahn Dan Tae?
- I don't work here. - Where did Ahn Dan Tae go?
Tell me where he is!
Tell me!
I don't know. Why are you doing this?
You shouldn't be doing this.
Damn you!
Are you okay?
You're not hurt?
Attorney Ahn Dan Tae?
We warned you to keep quiet. You want to die?
Apologize for doing this to my office and mistreating this lady.
- How dare you... - Are you out of your mind?
You want to resolve this legally or with violence?
Are you okay?
- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
You should take care of that first.
Sir!
Working hard, Attorney Ahn?
Yes.
- I'm sorry for the ruckus. - Not at all.
- Get in the car? - Yes.
What? Ahn Dan Tae has a record?
He's an attorney with a criminal record.
A little after he started high school
he got into a fight with a rich man's son who was bullying his classmates.
Dan Tae unfairly went to jail.
He wasn't protected under the law because he was poor and powerless.
Is that why he became a lawyer to help the unjustly accused?
More than that, it was his guilty conscience.
Guilty conscience?
While Dan Tae was in jail, his mother passed away.
No matter what the reason
he felt guilty about not being around her before she passed.
He's trying to make up for it by helping out the needy.
Auntie.
You cleaned up everything already?
Yeah, Gong Shim helped me.
Oh, right. You two live in the same house, you should go together.
You must have gotten a scare. Get home safely.
Okay.
See you tomorrow, Auntie.
- Get home safely. - Bye.
I thought I would die.
I really thought they would kill me.
Why did you talk back to them?
They were breaking everything, and creating chaos
how could I just watch?
- What's wrong? - It's nothing.
What's wrong?
It's bleeding.
