Color of Woman
Episode 5
The big jerk Yoon Jun Su?
Big brat, Byun So Ra?
Sunbae?
How was the relationship between So Ra and Head Director during college?
If they meet, they'll start to bicker.
Even though it's not anything serious, they
will argue about who's right or who's wrong.
To summarize simply, Jun Su is a male So Ra.
How do you see me?
Of course I see you as my friend, Byun So Ra.
If you're referring to the intriguing gap between theory and reality...
If that's what you want, then marry So Ra.
There's no chemistry.
In the past ten years, I've never once seen her as a woman.
Is that my fault? And who asked you to take responsibility of me?
If you were scared then we could've just done nothing.
I don't want to sleep with you!
Is that something a human would say?
"I don't want to sleep with you yet. "
I remember that's what I said.
I feel so wronged. 10 years' worth of time.
I don't want to... sleep with you yet.
If I opened up about the misunderstanding at the time, what would we be like now?
So Ra is really special.
Why didn't I notice all along?
Would it be very hard for us to start over again?
Starting over, is that possible?
[5: Can we start over again?]
I know they all look good, /I know it's pointless to ask,
but which one do you think looks better?
The one on the right.
Don't just answer randomly.
There's a shareholders' meeting today.
Are you having a fashion show at the shareholders' meeting?
If I look good then it improves the Head Manager's reputation
and the company's image will improve too. Do you understand?
Your physical appearance will improve the company's image?
Fine. Do you think the way you look will improve the company's image?
Hold on.
Both of them haven't left for work yet.
We can catch a ride, especially since it's so cold.
Plus, I have to maintain this perfect outfit.
If I ride the bus, my clothes will get all wrinkled.
Hey! You'll wrinkle my clothes!
If you don't want to see the Head Manager, then go ahead on your own.
I want to catch a ride with them.
Why would you think I'm avoiding Jun Su sunbae?
I just want to keep my business and personal issues separate.
You still won't admit the truth, Rotten Brat?
I already know you and the Head Manager dated before.
It's not as if you're starting over again, right?
Start what over?
Do you think I studied my butt off to get my PhD just so I could date?
Just because I didn't become a professor doesn't mean I've given up on my dreams.
I'm just changing my dreams.
I'm going to make a name for myself at the company.
At times like these, you look really cool.
Let's just go our respective ways.
You use your work and I'll just my beauty.
To be even clearer,
you ride the bus and I'll ride in the Head Manager's car.
Hey, hey...
Hey!!
That hurts!
Hey! My arm hurts, don't pull so hard!
- You know how weak I am, don't you? - Good morning!
Are you spring cleaning?
I felt like I was losing my motivation
so I want to start afresh by clearing everything out.
Renovate the interior while you're at it.
Changing everything doesn't necessarily make things better.
Our coffee house has its own charm.
I want to bring back the customers who first liked our cafe.
It's like a love starting all over again after ten years.
Is it because you don't want to spend the money?
If you can't see the hidden charm, you'll lose the game.
What do you mean?
Hey, we're going to be late.
Boss, good work.
Miss Jin Ju, you look really pretty today.
- Run faster! - How can I run any faster?
Can the past defeat the present, or not?
Aish!
Do you think if you show off your pretty legs and speak softly
you'll be able to snag Jun Su sunbae?
Are you afraid I'll snag him?
Does my face look scared to you right now?
I can tell with one glance.
It's it pretty obvious?
You run into your first love and start over again.
Maybe you'll think, "This is perfect. "
But reality is harsh.
Memories are only beautiful in your head.
If you're compatible, why did you break up?
You broke up for a reason.
Even if you're tempted by romance to start over again,
your reasons for breaking up will resurface again, bit by bit.
"We're still not right for each other. "
It'll be an even bigger disappoint that will lead to another breakup.
With a new wound in your heart you ask,
"Why are my relationships always this rotten?"
Can you remove the comment, "Why are my relationships always this rotten?"
What kind of man would like someone who looks like this?
Do you think Jun Su sunbae liked me just because I'm pretty?
If not, then why?
There's a book passed on from grandmother to grandmother that's a guide to dating.
It's called "The Rule"
and it became a bestseller as soon as it was released.
Although you use books to solve all your problems,
is there a book that tells you the best way to date?
You need to know psychology in order to sell.
Do you know what you have to do in front of
your male colleagues at work to attract their attention?
Wear miniskirts or see through shirts.
Wrong!
Focus on your work.
Women who focus on their work are sexiest.
If that's really effective,
wouldn't you already have two or three children by now?
Hey!
I had to show myself when I first put on make-up.
In any case, just remember that you clearly stated
you have no relationship whatsoever with the Head Manager.
Don't say later that I stole your boyfriend. Got it?
Fine.
This won't do. Let's move to the back more.
Why move when it's so crowded?
I have a designer bag and fancy clothes,
why am I riding the bus?
This is all your fault, Byun So Ra!
It's pretty. It's pretty.
It's all wrinkled now!
We can fix it when we get to the office.
What is this?
It's all wrinkled.
"The Rule. " Focus on work.
When you meet a man you like at the office, you have to dress up prettily.
That is Wang Jin Ju's rule.
Got it, Byun So Ra?
You silly fool, you who lives in books!
What kind of questions will be posed today?
I'm a little nervous since this is my first time at a shareholders' meeting.
You look really relaxed, Director.
It's called experience.
He's so handsome and modest and cute.
I think they're here.
I was quite worried when the Chairman collapsed.
It seems I worried needlessly.
You've done great. You've done great.
Hello, Director Park.
Aigoo. Director Seong.
Director Park.
Director Seong's beauty...
Do not flatter me. I'm no longer young.
That's right.
No one is immune to the passage of time.
I've never seen you before.
I'm Wang Jin Ju, Head Manager Yoon Jun Su's secretary.
Oh, you are remarkable beauty.
You have a good eye for selecting secretaries.
Thank you.
The timing is perfect, thank you.
Let's not stand outside. Please come inside.
Digging around in the storage room every day, what's that about?
My arms are getting thick from carrying heavy stuff every day.
That's a common misconception.
Never carrying heavy objects is what makes your arms fat.
You already have your doctorate
but you still work so hard at these menial tasks.
You can never succeed in marketing, if you look down on the power of hard work.
That's from a book.
Let's go.
Your sales have risen, but the market for natural cosmetics is over saturated.
Well, what's the next step in your plan?
I was actually planning to discuss my plan with you.
Hold on.
Do you know Dean Han Il Guk?
I'm right. You were preparing to become a professor under Professor Han.
Ah, you came for a consultation.
Yes, that's right.
You're extremely intelligent and capable, that's what I remember.
You were fired for attempting to uncover Professor Han's misconduct, weren't you?
As a student, I cannot disregard the misuse of research funds.
Do you work at this company now?
Yes, Sir. I want to unite theory with reality.
Really?
If you find evidence of misconduct at this company, what would you do?
Why do you ask?
Misconduct cannot be tolerated, especially at the place where I work.
That fool, here she goes again.
What's going on?
What is your name?
My name is Byun So Ra.
People like you, Byun So Ra,
must realize your potential in order for this company to grow.
Keep her by your side and pay attention to her opinions.
She is a very intelligent young woman.
What is going on here?
That was my intention.
So Ra, come to my office before this afternoon.
See you next time then.
Yes, Sir.
I'm the one following along behind the Head Manager right now,
but one day, the Head Manager will be the one following me.
What's making her so happy that her face is about to split from smiling?
What? Am I jealous right now?
No. What jealousy?
We're not connected in any way
and we won't be connected in any way in the future.
Good luck, Wang Jin Ju.
Director Park's vision seems to be a little blurred.
How can he not see your beauty?
He's pretending he can't see it.
Why?
He has concluded that the Head Manager has the advantage.
How can he be so clueless about the situation?
That's exactly why he'll be second in command all his life, right?
Oh, that's how it is. Second in command.
You're so cute when you're jealous.
How could you bear to leave the director sitting there alone?
Do you think I like catering to her?
That's what I thought all along too, but, it's not the case.
No. What kind of idiot would call his wife and baby
to come if he were up to something?
The director was covered with red ginseng,
and you merely brought her to her hotel room?
That's right. That's right.
That's what it was.
You obviously know that, so why are you mad?
Put yourself in my shoes!
Imagine that I'm having trouble walking
and Director Park carries me into a hotel room...
Stop it! Stop it!
I'd have to strangle him then.
You get to, but I don't even get to imagine that?
Absolutely. Absolutely not.
Then I absolutely, absolutely won't put up with it too.
Do you need help?
Yes, Director. Yes.
You don't look well.
Oh, I've been kind of stressed lately.
Are you constipated?
I have medicine, it's very effective.
Within ten minutes after you take it, everything comes flowing out, the stool.
Does anyone have any medicine for headaches?
I hear that the director has a bad headache right now.
Jin Ju, give me some of that medicine.
Okay.
Within ten minutes, everything comes flowing out, the stool.
That's enough coffee. I've had too much.
It's honey water.
Sweets are useful for relieving exhaustion and anxiety.
I really like honey water.
I know. I know... everything about you.
About you, Yoon Jun Su.
That's part of my responsibilities.
It's tiring to have a battle of loyalty.
Oh, yes.
It used to be a popular game.
We haven't played lately.
Team Leader Kang, where are the samples that will be used as gifts?
Hey, wait a second.
These are doensaeng from our university.
Help me with the summer make-up before and after concept.
I already got permission from Director Seong.
Oh, really?
I'm going to leave first.
Okay. Thanks for your hard work.
The God of Studying representative.
How do you score higher grades?
How do you do well on exams?
Ask her anything you want.
However, don't ask for make-up tips, dressing up ideas, beauty secrets,
or things like that.
Are you Byun So Ra sunbae?
Do you know me?
Of course! You were ranked first of the acceptees,
graduated top of your class, and the youngest to be accepted
into the PhD program.
You're a legend at our college.
You're also very famous in the chemistry department.
The chemistry club also received special privileges.
But, are the two of you dating?
What?!
If the two of us were stranded on a deserted island, nothing would happen.
Deserted island? How about a 5 day and 4 night trip?
Aigoo. You're joking again.
If you don't like jokes, then let's date for real.
Sheesh, what are you doing?
You're not letting go? Hey!
Ouch! That hurts!
The annual shareholders' meeting will now commence.
First, there will be a few greeting words from Director Park Jong Chul.
Due to worldwide economic decline...
and Chairman Yoon Man Ho's sudden health problems,
there was much worry and concern.
After deflecting these crises,
2011 year end results for the first time in our company's history,
show a profit of 30 billion won.
30 billion won?!
Let's give a round of applause to Head Manager Yoon Jun Su.
To be honest, I haven't actually done anything yet.
I have only been working for a month or two.
Director Seong Ae Shim
did her utmost to rescue our company from these crises.
Please give Director Seong Ae Shim a warm round of applause.
With support from all of the shareholders present,
I plan to adopt a more aggressive approach towards technology development
for the upcoming year.
Following the soon to be released Yoon Line,
I plan to launch a new luxury line of anti-aging products.
Head Manager?
There are advantages to an aggressive approach,
but shouldn't you deliberate carefully first?
Without knowing how the Yoon line will fare,
you plan to launch a luxury line...
that may lead our company to suffer significant losses.
Do you lack confidence in our company's products?
I am confident.
I plan to launch a new product into the all-natural,
luxury cosmetics market in Korea
that it will bring a new wave.
He's rich and handsome. Plus, he's persuasive. So cool.
Please have faith that this special line of luxury products
will most definitely succeed.
One needs to have a strong heart to continue working with our Head Manager.
That's the only way to avoid collapsing from shock.
That's not your heart, that's your intestines.
It was a bit exhausting to have the shareholders' meeting.
You should take care of your health.
If you are concerned about my health, then avoid shocking me, will you?
Before giving a speech, you should consult with me, a person with years of experience.
I nearly forgot that you began as a cosmetics sales person
and worked your way up to your current position.
It wasn't easy.
That's why I find people who have lived easy lives contemptible.
Let's talk later. Please go about your business.
No. I opposed earlier because it was too sudden.
I might support your idea to launch a special luxury line.
There's probably a condition.
You must agree to launch with me.
I have a condition too.
What is the condition?
We can talk about it later.
Take care of your urgent business first.
I feel uncomfortable as well.
I said I'm fine.
Let's hurry and talk about it now.
What is your condition?
Director Seong, you're breaking out in a sweat.
I told you to say it quickly!
Get to the point!
Ah... It's that launching the special line requires a certain patent.
Have you considered buying the rights to a patent?
- What patent? - What kind of patent is it?
What should I do? It's Director Park.
Answer, answer it.
Yes, Director Park?
Yes.
You're too polite. Yes.
It's true that old people, at the most critical moments...
We'll talk about that later.
Why are you following me?! Don't follow me.
It's Jun Su sunbae. You guys chat.
Good thing he called.
Yes, Sunbae?
There's no chemistry.
In the past ten years, I've never once seen her as a woman.
Is that my fault?
Come now to the coffee shop in front of the office.
- Right now? - Of course right now.
I'm with So Ra now...
Is there something bothering Jun Su sunbae again?
I don't know.
I'm leaving first, So Ra.
Have a nice chat with our pretty hoobaes.
- Okay. - Sunbae, don't leave.
Just wait. I'll be right back. I'm leaving.
You still have me.
I made the announcement.
After the Yoon Line, we'll launch a luxury anti-aging line.
Director Seong certainly won't agree to it.
That's no more than we expected.
Director Seong is going to try to find our weakness and target it.
If we don't prepare well, this will all become soap bubbles.
That's something that will happen when I'm no longer alive.
Just in case,
I want you and So Ra to form a team and make all necessary preparations.
There are other people in the sales department,
why does it have to be So Ra?
I thought you and So Ra work are really compatible?
We are unbelievably compatible.
Well, what is the problem then?
Didn't So Ra write all of your business reports?
Ah that's true.
But, will you really toss the fish at the cat?
You'll regret it.
Who is the fish and who is the cat?
Of course I'm the cat.
- And the fish? - So Ra.
I'll have to trust the cat then.
Don't be overly trusting.
I figured the company would have decent profits,
but I never imagined it'd be that much.
Compared to other subsidiaries profit's like a small shop.
Other subsidiaries?
Chairman Yoon isn't called chairman for nothing.
The Head Manager's investments dividend
surely amounts to over 20 billion won per year.
T... Twenty billion won?
It's time to select an outfit for dinner.
Begin.
To the right.
You don't want to see the other groups?
I choose the one on the right.
Yes, I understand.
Next, you should choose accessories.
Don't you know I wear only diamonds and nothing else?!
Today is your birthday.
Chairman Yoon Jun Su asked me to recommend
pearls to reflect your *name. (*Jin Ju means pearl)
It can't be helped then.
Fine, I'll wear pearls tonight.
I want *Wang Jin Ju. (*Wang means super-sized)
But that ruby...
is one of a kind and worth 2 billion won.
Chairman Yoon is a little sad you haven't even worn it once.
What do you want me to do?
I can't wear all three at once!
Oh, my head.
Do you have a headache?
I'll have to call the attending physician.
Which one? A western doctor or a Korean doctor?
An aroma therapist or should I call a recreational instructor?
Stop making it fuss. Leave.
I get a headache looking at your face.
When is your mandatory retirement?
My deepest apologies.
I'll get plastic surgery or wear a mask.
That's a good idea.
Yes, Head Manager?
Tell So Ra to come to my office.
Why do you need So Ra?
I need to see her about something urgent.
Tell her to come right away.
Why does he want So Ra?
Alright. Lastly, apply lipstick.
Ah, pretty.
Oh, sexy.
Hey!
Why isn't she answering?
This is the sales department.
This the secretarial office, please connect me to Byun So Ra.
Assistant Manager Byun isn't at her desk.
She wants to me focus on work but where has she run off to instead of working?
Aren't you calling Byun So Ra?
- Tell her to come quickly. - I've already called her.
I couldn't get through, that's why I asked you to do it.
Don't just sit there, hurry and find her.
Bring her here within 10 minutes.
Yes, Head Manager.
Hurry up.
Yes.
He was so nice earlier.
Why is he mad all of a sudden?
The reason is... Byun So Ra?
Yes, it's because of Byun So Ra.
He gets all sensitive whenever that brat is mentioned.
Even if she wants to start over Byun So Ra doesn't stand a chance.
Are you zoning out again?
I'm working!
The Head Director is looking for So Ra and I don't know where she is.
Why do you look all pissed off?
He got all angry. He told me to hurry and find her.
Jun Su sunbae?
That's not right. How could he treat our Jin Ju that way?
Chan Jin, do you like pretty women or smart women?
Of course I like pretty women.
- Right? - If she's smart, that's even better.
Why?
I'll take you to where the smart woman is.
Let's go.
And you say I don't do my work?
Communicating with customers is my job, didn't you know?
What you do is work and what I do is entertainment?
The smart woman and pretty woman are stepping out.
Now will you play with me?
- Okay! - Okay!
Get up. Head Manager is looking for you.
What for?
Yes, Assistant Manager Byun, I really want to know why too.
Hurry up.
What?
I don't know.
Stop trying to seduce him.
What?
If you don't want to start over with him,
then coldly reject him.
Don't leave the door open for him.
Jin Ju, the workplace is for working.
That's right. You're only allowed to work, not seduce men.
You're the one who needs to stop flirting.
I'm seducing him with sincerity.
You're doing it with ulterior motives.
Stop joking around.
Who would believe you if you ran around saying I'm seducing people?
That's what makes it scarier.
You act like that's not the case, saying
"No, no, no, no. "
Do you know of Pandora's box?
The more you're told not to open it, the more you want to open it.
That's just human nature.
Before I go ahead and open it, stop bothering me!
Promise.
Promise you won't steal away the Head Manager's heart.
You think I wouldn't recognize a woman with ulterior motives?
You're here.
You heard about the special line?
You're quite active in this, Head Manager.
I thought you wouldn't care about cosmetics.
I didn't used to.
That's the private Yoon Jun Su.
As the company head, there are many people I'm responsible for.
I'll leave it to you to berate me for being a runaway coward.
If the newly launched Yoon Line sales are worse than predicted,
then the special line might fare even worse and it'll all be pointless.
It's great to be the first person to launch a new product,
but to be on the safe side, I think it's better
to take a less aggressive approach and launch a more dependable product.
Ah, because of a fear of failure, don't even try to start. Is that it?
I'm talking about work.
Work?
The same failure can recur, which would be a waste of time and money.
I have confidence.
It seems like you don't have confidence...
About starting over.
If we're not discussing work, then I'm leaving.
I want to use your patent for the special line.
My patent?
For the natural reagent? Is that what you mean?
Why do you want to use it?
I feel like I can stake my life on this in order to avoid failing again.
I, Yoon Jun Su.
If it is your ambition to introduce a refreshing new side to
the cosmetics industry,
then you must start with the ingredients for each product,
and develop them one by one.
If you disregard how the components fuse,
and assume that any ingredient will do,
that is not the appropriate methodology.
You may miss out on even better results.
Fusion? Components?
She's deliberately choosing words that will make her sound more intelligent.
Do you think Jun Su sunbae thinks you're pretty?
The shareholders have toured the company.
They'd like to see you, Head Manager.
- Bring them in. - Yes, sir.
Then, I'll leave...
Aigoo... We meet again, Professor Han's apprentice.
Yes.
This is Secretary Wang. She's pretty, isn't she?
She used to be a model.
She's pretty enough to be a cosmetics model.
You're teasing me.
I mean it.
Miss Jin Ju. That's the Chairman's wish, shouldn't you grant it?
Be your model?
Miss Jin Ju, you're more than adequate to be our model.
Now even Head Manager is teasing me.
- Please have a seat. - Sure.
What did the Head Manager say?
Does he plan to dispel the rumors?
Just run along and sign your modeling contract.
Are you jealous?
Why would I be jealous? What's there to be jealous of?
My beauty.
I'm speechless.
What do I do?
Jin Ju? What are you doing?
What are you trying to do?
I dropped my ring in there when I threw out a tissue.
Oh no!
You should have just told me.
Just tell me and I'll help you.
Dump everything out like this.
Ahjussi! Are you crazy?!
I just cleaned all that! What are you doing?!
I'm not fooling around,
an employee dropped something in there and I'm helping her find it.
If I get in trouble by the supervisor of janitorial,
are you going to take responsibility for this?
Why would I take responsibility for you? Sheesh!
Jin Ju, how can you just run off like that?!
Do you still remember our library date?
Let's meet in the stairwell of the 13th floor during lunch.
Library date?
Are they planning to start over again?
No, never!
You...!
What if the director catches you?
Are you worried about me or what will happen to the director when she eats this?
You know I only have you and our child in my heart.
And that's why you ditched us and ran off to see her?!
I get it. I get it. I was wrong.
Stop staying at your parents' house.
Come home. I'll leave.
What do you plan to do if you leave?
You want to set up house with the director?
What?
There's so much food.
Secretary Nam, have some of this.
No, that's okay.
What do you mean it's okay?
Because of the annual shareholders' meeting,
you didn't get to eat much breakfast.
Here, have a bite.
He wants to develop a special line?
He thinks he can do anything he wants because he has money?
Of course isn't not possible.
What is the patent that Yoon Jun Su wants?
Whose is it?
Go and look into it.
Yes, I understand.
And oh, this porridge...
Yes?
The flavor is good. We should order it more often in the future.
Yes.
What is it, Jason?
I saw these flowers and thought of you, so I bought them for you.
Using some lame flowers to seduce women, that's a trick from the 1980s, you fool.
They're really beautiful.
Thank you, Jason.
My heart is pounding.
Thank you, Jason.
I'll keep that in mind.
I'll see all of you out.
Are we not having lunch together?
As I mentioned, I have a lunch appointment.
Oh, that's right.
Did you forget?
Yes, you can't break an appointment. I forgot.
How about Japanese? Korean is good too.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Let's go.
This is the business plan for the anti-aging special line.
What?
I thought it was still in the development stages,
but you've already started making preparations?
Yes, to be more accurate, the Head Manager started it.
Look at it back at the office. You might trip and fall.
I'm fine.
What did he write on that note earlier? I'm curious.
I'm dying of curiosity.
What?
If want to say something, say it properly.
Seriously!
Please have a seat.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Yeah!
It's lunchtime!
Isn't everyone going to go eat?
How could we even swallow the food now?
We're going to be twice as busy with the special line.
What are we going to do?
Our workload will double,
but we still have to do it enthusiastically, right?
You act like it has nothing to do with you.
It's like the person embroiled in a scandal,
not realizing that the scandal is about her.
Assistant Manager Song, stop backing Assistant Manager Byun into a corner.
No one knows how a person's future may unfold.
The Head Manager and Assistant Manager Byun's
scandal is ranked number one in the company's search engine,
But Assistant Manager Byun isn't just Assistant Manager Byun,
Dr. Byun, or Byun So Ra, she might end up being Lady Boss Byun.
That's entirely possible.
Assistant Manager Byun, would you like to come eat with me?
I'll eat later.
That's true, you're full even without eating.
What?
Oh, nothing.
I'll just say one thing,
please don't forget that I've been on your side all along.
Remember Byun and me.
Yes.
I'm going to go chew on pork bone potato soup.
Where will I be? Basement Level 1.
Manager Park has picked a side now.
he's very quick!
He means it's possible, it's possible.
Even if there's a less than 1 percent probability, we still call it a possibility.
I support you, Assistant Manager Byun.
I look forward to seeing Cinderella come to life.
Got it?
So Ra, good luck!
What's going on with everyone?
What did he write on that note?
Yoon Jun Su, do you really want to start over?
What's wrong with me?
Is it really like what Jin Ju said,
I still have residual feelings for Jun Su sunbae?
No, no, never!
That's impossible!
Assistant Manager Song. Seriously!
What did the pork bone potato soup do?!
Sesame noodles combined with potato soup and a spicy flavor.
I thought you said you like me?
Then why are you being a Black Knight to Wang Jin Ju from the secretarial office?
You even flipped the trash over and made a mess, claiming to be searching for a ring.
These people are really... they can't keep their mouths closed.
Nobody works at the office, they just gossip all day long.
Also, the woman you like wants to eat steak,
so how could you drag me to go eat potato stew?
Assistant Manager Song,
if you refuse to eat, then I will starve alongside you.
Why are you acting like this...?
Assistant Manager Song,
how about we announce our relationship to everyone here at the office?
No, don't. What will we do if everyone finds out?
Assistant Manager Song,
look into my pupils.
do you feel anything well up inside of you?
Did you have too much to drink yesterday?
Your eyes are bloodshot.
Today, I really want to toss aside etiquette for a moment...
Oh my!
Assistant Manager Song...
You're not going to eat lunch?
How can you be so lax about your work?!
- You started it, Manager Park! - No!
Assistant Manager Song, you just know how to collect a paycheck to go buy clothes.
How can you be so sloppy with your work?!
You seem to be implying something else with your words!
What about you, Manager Park? You receive a paycheck too.
Why don't you buy some shampoo? Don't you wash your hair?!
Okay, okay. Why do you two argue whenever you see each other?
Did Assistant Manager Byun already go downstairs for lunch?
You must have heard the rumors about Assistant Manager Byun and the head manager.
You're awfully nice to Assistant Manager Byun,
which means that you support the two of them dating, right?
Those are just groundless rumors.
What do you mean groundless rumors?
Someone witnessed them coming out of a hotel together.
So Assistant Manager Song, what are you curious about then?
Why are you always looking out for Assistant Manager Byun?
So you're envious of her.
From now on, I'll look out for you too.
Assistant Manager Song! I'll treat you to steak today.
Really?
Of course. My uncle raises cattle.
He feeds them seasoning all their lives, so they're always ready to be eaten.
Let's go.
What are you doing under there?
My legs are numb.
Hey, what are you doing under there?
This...
You should have come sooner.
Those two have something going on.
I saw everything.
Assistant Manager Song, you better watch out.
I thought you don't eat sushi?
But you seem to love eating kimchi mackerel!
I like food that's been preserved a long time.
It's the same for women.
I like older women.
Oh? Is that so?
Oh, here you are.
Oh! Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Oh my!
Aigoo. Do you not have eyes?
Are you okay?
This is something that would never happen in New York.
I'll wipe it for you. Turn your head this way.
No, no. I'll do it.
Here, here.
Why are you gouging out my eyes?!
Are you trying to kill him?
When did I gouge your eyes?
You're falsely accusing me! I'm speechless.
Please eat this.
You won't have enough for lunch because of me, right?
I have a small appetite to begin with.
She's a good liar.
She obviously eats a lot. A ton.
I don't have much talent in that area.
That's not a good talent to have.
A person should be honest.
What do you think of a man who flirts with other woman when
he already has a girlfriend?
In America, there are men who are shot for two-timing.
It should be like that in Korea too.
Every woman should be given a gun. Then... Bang!
Well, Manager Nam, if you've finished eating, shall we...?
Would you like to have coffee? Sure.
We'll leave first then.
Coffee.
It's hard working with Secretary Oh, isn't it?
A little... I guess you could say that.
You're too kind.
I finally understand why Secretary Oh has bad rumors.
She's high-strung and difficult to please.
Plus, she likes younger men.
It must be so hard on you.
I'll take you out to eat.
What?
I also like to eat kimchi mackerels!
What is that supposed to mean?
It means I like things like kimchi that...
Pickled a long time?
You're just too cute.
That Secretary Wang is remarkably pretty, isn't she?
Her work ethics match her beauty.
Is that so?
That's like icing on the cake.
That's great.
Did I throw it in here?
Perfect.
What are you doing?
Me?
Oh... the trash wasn't separated properly.
You're not eating lunch?
Of course I'll eat lunch.
With whom?
With Chan Jin.
Oh, that guy said he's going to buy sandwiches and he's still not back.
Ah, because of a fear of failure, don't even try to start.
The same failure can recur.
It seems like you don't have confidence...
About starting over.
I have confidence.
Excuse me, this salad doesn't have raw onions right?
Yes.
[Out of service. Elevator is under renovation. ]
What? Didn't you you'd buy it and bring it back?
I figured you were bored and it'd be nice to come out for some fresh air.
What?
I bit into some raw scallion.
Why did they put raw onions in a tuna sandwich?
Eat this one.
There shouldn't be any in this one.
I thought you didn't like scallions as well?
Not to point of refusing to eat, unlike a certain someone.
Am I too late?
- Hello. - Hello.
What are you doing, Byun So Ra?
Here she comes, finally.
Miss Jin Ju?
You're also exercising in the stairwell, Head Manager?
Oh, yes.
That's the secret to my physique.
That's also the secret to my figure.
Let's do this together next time.
Sure.
Are you eating a box meal for lunch?
Ah, this is...
It's simple but substantial.
It's so simple that you eat two at once?
Is that a little too much?
Miss Jin Ju, would you help me out?
A person eating my leftovers, besides my mom, you're the only one.
A person cooking for me, besides my mom, you're also the only one.
Byun White Rice.
Are you really okay?
Eating your leftovers isn't a new thing for me.
If you tally it up, we've indirectly kissed over a hundred times.
Let go!
Hey! That hurts.
Aigoo. Sheesh!
Let go!
What?
Do you feel like puking? Because of the scallions?
No, no.
It was the comment about indirectly kissing.
Just thinking about it causes me pain.
You're rotten.
Chan Jin, actually there's something I haven't told you.
Before Jun Su sunbae left for America, we dated for a little while.
Oh, really?
I actually thought that someone like the head manager
only eats steak and drinks fancy wine every day.
I like kimchi, doenjang, and things like that.
I'm a mania rice and soup.
Then why aren't you eating it?
I want to eat it slowly while chatting.
Were you really hurt by the rumors?
Why didn't you explain yourself?
I was very disappointed.
It was the same for the rumors about So Ra...
Both of you didn't say anything,
so I thought something really did happen between you too.
Nothing happened, right?
We did sleep in the same room...
Even though all we did was sleep.
That day, I just wanted to resolve the misunderstanding between So Ra and I,
so I set up that opportunity.
The misunderstanding that haunted me for ten years has been resolved,
but I still feel uncomfortable.
Is it because you still have residual feelings left for him?
That...
That's impossible.
For a woman, the present is more important than the past.
As for the question of whether we want to see our first love,
a majority of men would say yes, but women would say no.
Women are so cruel.
You should call it realistic.
What if...?
Both people say let's start over?
What did Jun Su sunbae say?
You're both single, did he mention starting over again?
He said... let's start over again.
And what about you?
I said no, but I'm conflicted.
It's one thing if you're the one inflicting pain,
but you're the victim, so don't start over.
The person who gives in the relationship, will continue to give
and the person who receives will continue to receive.
This is the case with presents, money, or wounds.
The idiot in the relationship, Byun So Ra, gets hurt and then dumped?
If it's getting dumped, then you can't even more.
What dating? I just want to focus on work.
Then what are you wavering about?
What?
I have a good idea.
So Ra seems to be determined not to start dating you again.
Really?
About that...
Start over again...
Become a new person.
How about starting something new?
It's not good to be so hung up on the past.
She's still by my side now, so you can't call it the past.
Dating, love, I won't beg for things like that.
Why do you think that love is something you beg for?
I'm your perfect match. Understand?
Do you want to sleep with me?
I know that using one night to resolve a misunderstanding,
cannot cure the ten years of time of feeling wronged.
I don't care.
Manager, you think I'm laughable, don't you?
Ye... Ye Jin. Ye Jin!
It's hot!
- Are you okay? - Oh gosh! My legs!
My beautiful legs can't get scarred.
- Kiss. - Come here.
Noona will give you a deep kiss.
It's so cold.
Hey, Kang Chan Jin, Byun So Ra!
