[pop music playing]
DYNAMITE KISS
You'll need to share
a room with Ms. Go tonight.
Will you be okay?
Yes, I'll be fine.
We've been friends for over 20 years.
That's why it's unsafe.
I mean, more uncomfortable.
How about you come out later?
I'll get you another room.
- [scoffs] You don't have to do--
- I don't like it.
[romantic music plays]
Uh…
[inhales sharply]
If somebody sees me leave,
they could get suspicious.
I have to go with it
even if it's uncomfortable.
Plus, Da-rim is already anxious
about getting caught as it is.
Are you always such a perfectionist?
It's something I decided to see through.
So I'm going to try my best.
Let's head back.
Mr. Kim.
In that case,
I also want to try my best.
Because I've just now decided
to see this through.
[dramatic music plays]
[Ha-yeong] He's a warm person.
He's warm-hearted and speaks warmly too.
And his face…
[chuckles]
…is just full of so much warmth.
- His wife?
- Ms. Yu?
We're going to step out for a quick chat.
Let's go.
Here you are, Mr. Gong.
Oh, you must've also needed some fresh--
Wh… What are you doing?
M… Mr. Gong?
Oh… Well, you see…
A flasher.
- Sorry?
- There was a flasher.
Oh, really?
Let's spare our eyes and go that way.
Sure, okay.
Let's go.
Okay, okay. [chuckles]
I like you, Mr. Kim.
Sorry?
I want to date you.
Oh.
- Well, I--
- You like someone else?
You've been looking at her all day
with such obvious eyes.
Ms. Go Da-rim is the weird one
for not noticing.
But if you've been friends for that long
and still haven't asked her out yet.
Doesn't that mean that's the extent
of your feelings for her?
It's that much harder
because we've known each other
for so long.
I don't want to lose the person closest
and most precious to me.
You can't ask her out
because you're afraid she'll reject you.
Are you sure that's real love?
I don't think so.
There's nothing simpler than love.
I like you, I want to see you,
and I want you.
- That's it.
- But I don't have those feelings for you.
It's okay.
If you don't,
I'll just make you have them.
You'd better prepare yourself.
Wow.
The fresh air is sobering me up.
[chuckles]
Should we sit down somewhere for a bit?
Sorry?
Okay.
[Go-eun] So what sort of drinking games
do young people play nowadays?
- [Gyeong-min] Drinking games?
- [Go-eun] I'm so curious.
[Gyeong-min] I don't play drinking games.
I guess you're not young.
[TF members chuckling]
Wow. Don't these falling petals
remind you of waves?
They're twinkling.
They do.
It reminds me of Jeju Island.
The sea back then
also twinkled like this.
You're right.
It was so pretty. [chuckles]
By any chance,
do you remember what we talked about
back then?
[Da-rim] But he's still
someone I once loved.
It's a bit disheartening.
You were mistaken.
You mistook it for love.
Does real love even exist to begin with?
I said
love was a mistaken belief.
It definitely exists.
It's just that
there are people who fail to protect it
until the end.
[Ji-hyeok] And you said
love definitely exists,
but it's just that…
there are people who fail to protect it
until the end.
I did.
[Ji-hyeok] But you know,
even after thinking it over,
I still think I'm right.
Why?
That way, if love ends,
you can just think of it
as coming to your senses.
If you believe you failed
to protect your love until the end…
you end up blaming yourself.
So don't do such a stupid thing.
- [chuckles]
- Sorry?
Who are you calling stupid?
No, I'm just saying.
- [chuckles]
- What was that?
[phone buzzes]
Hey, Seon-u.
I came out to get some fresh air.
Yeah, I'll be back soon.
Okay, bye.
[line disconnects]
[Go-eun] You can continue drinking inside.
Go on inside. Good night, everyone.
- You too.
- Good night.
Your hand is so cold, honey.
- You should've asked me to come.
- Right, I should've.
- Let's go together next time.
- Okay.
Room 518. Give me the key.
[Da-rim] I don't have it.
You took it earlier.
- I don't have it.
- Is it in here?
[chuckles]
- [in English] Sorry.
- [in Korean] Seriously?
- Come on.
- [Da-rim] Okay.
Careful.
[door closes]
[Ji-hyeok sighs] Hold on.
[Ji-hyeok sighs]
Seriously, what's going on?
What's with you? You look like someone
who desperately needs the bathroom.
Did Ha-yeong head to her room early?
I think so. She said she was tired.
[exclaims] Look at him
taking care of his fiancée.
I guess not.
[sighs]
[sighs]
I mean,
a photographer
should have a far more discerning eye.
[sighs]
[groans]
[grunts]
Seon-u, you can wash up now.
- Oh, okay.
- Mmm.
Are you sick? What's that medicine for?
It's stress-induced gastritis, apparently.
I guess I'm not meant to be an actor.
- [grunts]
- You sure you're okay?
Of course.
Get into bed and get some rest.
What? I don't mind sleeping on the floor.
- Rock, paper--
- No need.
We can just share the bed.
It's big enough.
- What?
- Why not?
We slept together all the time as kids.
Hey, we're not kids anymore.
What's with you?
Fine, forget it.
Oh, my! It's so nice and big!
[exclaims] I'll enjoy this bed alone.
[Da-rim yawns]
Was I okay today?
As your husband?
You saw how everyone was green with envy.
Thanks. It must've been tough
acting all day.
- I wasn't acting.
- What?
I wasn't acting. [sighs]
I was just being myself.
Then again…
[sighs] …you were so good to Jun's mom
when you were with her.
Sorry, I just meant to say
something along the lines
of you being excellent husband material.
- Da-rim.
- Yeah?
What do you think of me
as a man and not as a husband?
Hmm?
What do you think of me
as a man?
[uplifting music plays]
No way.
You have a crush on someone, don't you?
Who is it? Tell me right now.
Don't tell me it's Ms. Yu!
[sighs] No, it's not like that.
Why not?
I can totally see
how you'd be attracted to her.
- You should go for it!
- I said it's not like that.
What? Then why did you ask that?
Forget it. Go to sleep.
Good night. [grunts]
[sighs]
[groans]
[sighs]
[Ha-yeong] But if you've been
friends for that long
and still haven't asked her out yet,
doesn't that mean that's the extent
of your feelings for her?
Asking her out…
- [Da-rim] Are you tired?
- [Nan-suk] Yeah, I am.
[laughing]
[sighs]
[gasps]
[gasps]
[sighs]
This is just crazy.
They both must've lost their minds.
He was on a business trip with his wife.
This is insane.
Should I tell her or not?
- [knocks]
- [sighs] Come in.
- [sighs, gasps]
- [gasps]
What is it?
I brought the expense report
for the business trip.
- You can leave it there.
- Okay.
Wait, Ms. Go.
Yes?
Does it look like I have something to say?
- Pardon?
- I mean, do I have
something to tell you?
What are you trying to say?
How about lunch together?
Oh, that's what you're talking about.
Did you know about it too?
Then again, how could you not?
News like that tends to spread quickly.
You knew about it?
Mm-hmm.
Are you okay?
[chuckles] I just heard about it.
The cafeteria is serving samgyetang
for lunch today.
Should we head on over together?
Huh?
[Nan-suk] My gosh, the chicken
is so tender. They cooked it so well.
- Mmm! The soup is so rich.
- [groans]
Do you not have any appetite, Jin-hui?
Looking at this chicken
reminds me of the samgyetang place
I went to a few days ago.
You see, I went to this samgyetang place
a while ago, and…
[sighs]
[whispers] Come here.
You see, I went to this samgyetang place
a few days ago,
and I saw my best friend's husband
pick the meat off the bone
to feed some ditzy young brat.
- So it's an affair.
- [Jin-hui] Yeah!
They were all over each other,
kissing each other and stuff.
It was a total mess.
Then what about your friend?
[Jin-hui] Exactly.
She's completely clueless.
She was going on about how he started
wearing cologne and nice clothes,
and how it felt like
they were newlyweds again.
- But they were all signs of cheating.
- Oh, no.
- Right.
- Totally.
- [gasps]
- [Ji-hyeok] So?
Did you tell your friend?
Sorry?
No, not yet.
It's been weighing on my mind.
I don't know if I should tell her
or just keep it to myself.
Right. It's a concern.
- It's a legit concern.
- Right.
Of course, you have to tell her.
Do you want your friend
to stay in the dark?
Right.
From my experience,
that's not always the way to go.
It could just be a fling.
A moment of weakness, if you will.
But if your friend finds out,
- then there's no turning back.
- [Jin-hui exclaims]
Yeah, it'll leave a scar on her forever.
Just look the other way.
- Maybe you're right.
- [Nan-suk] Yeah.
[sucks teeth, tuts]
[door opens]
- Are you going somewhere?
- [chuckles]
I want to go on a walk for some fresh air.
Then let me accompany you.
[sighs]
You don't need to worry.
I won't leave the hospital building.
[grunting]
[panting]
[groans]
- [husband] Look at you go. Are you tired?
- [patient groaning]
Let's sit and take a break.
Careful.
Oh. Oh! There you go.
You didn't need to come.
How could I not?
I'd be worried sick if I didn't.
I'll gladly follow you
to the ends of the earth.
[chuckles]
- Thank you.
- Of course.
Once you get better,
let's go travel abroad.
[Myeong-sun] Oh, no.
What are they going to do?
- They're going to get caught.
- [patient] Oh, no.
[patient] They're going to fall.
- Oh, gosh.
- What are they going to do?
They get me every time.
Have some while you watch.
- It's good.
- [Myeong-sun] My daughter brought them.
[patient] I wish I had a daughter too.
- Have some.
- It's good.
They'll get into big trouble if they fall.
[Myeong-sun] Would you like one?
[chuckles] No, thank you. I'm okay.
SANDWICH BISCUI
I didn't eat any of it.
My daughter ripped the packaging for me
because I was too weak after surgery.
Try it. It's soft and delicious.
- [chuckles] I said I'm okay.
- It's fine, take it.
- No, really. I'm fine.
- Just eat…
I'm sorry.
I was being too forceful.
It's fine.
Everyone
has their ups and downs in life.
After my husband passed,
there were many times
when I just wanted to end my life.
But I couldn't go through with it
when I thought about my kids.
As a mom,
how could I hurt my kids like that?
When I forced myself to keep going,
I found myself getting by somehow.
What's your story?
- [groans]
- Oh, gosh.
I'm sorry,
I think I may have spoken out of line.
Yes. You really did.
I never said I wanted to hear your story.
Oh, dear.
I just meant…
What's wrong with me?
[door opens]
- [Da-rim] I'm home.
- [door closes]
Oh, hey. You're here.
What are you up to?
I'm just choosing photos
for the ad concept.
- How are they?
- Not bad. Take a look.
Mmm.
[gasps] They look nice.
- You think so?
- Yeah.
What's that?
Oh, this?
It's our reformulated baby lotion.
Can you test it
and tell me what you think?
It was a favor
from the product development team.
If Jun's sleeping right now,
try it tomorrow morning.
Let me try it now.
I share Jun's lotion,
so I'll be able to tell.
Mmm.
It goes on smoothly and feels hydrating.
Hold on. Let me see the ingredients.
It's the best one out of
all the ones I've used recently.
Really? Okay.
But why do you use Jun's lotion?
Don't you have your own?
That's just what happens
when you're raising a kid.
You use whatever is left on your hand
after applying it on them.
You have to hug them,
hold them, and play with them.
If I use the wrong adult lotion,
it could irritate their skin.
I see.
Then what about the scent?
Is it okay for adults to use?
The scent?
[sniffs]
It just smells like baby powder.
[romantic music plays]
[sniffs]
Hmm. The powdery note is strong.
But as you said, if parents use
the same lotion as their kids,
a scent that's too baby-like
might not be the best, no?
- What?
- Right?
Oh, right.
Imagine if they were
regular office workers.
[chuckles] Yeah, you're right.
I guess it could feel a bit out of place
to smell like baby powder
at a business meeting.
Yeah. For now, I should suggest
they make this unscented.
That was really helpful.
Thanks, friend. I'm off.
Okay, sure.
- Bye.
- Bye. [in English] Thank you.
[sighs]
[door closes]
[in Korean] Kim Seon-u?
That no-name photographer?
I already told you he's a no!
Come on, have some standards.
Why did you even appoint someone
who couldn't secure a diploma in the US
as the deputy director in the first place?
You take care of this.
I wonder if David Kim
is done with his exhibition in New York.
Ji-hyeok chose him, not me.
What? Ji-hyeok did?
[groans]
- Then just proceed as is for now.
- Honey!
[father] I'll put my trust
in Gong Ji-hyeok.
Even Tae-yeong acknowledged that Ji-hyeok
had an undeniably discerning eye.
Whenever he found a promising start-up
worth investing in,
Ji-hyeok had more often than not
already signed them.
It means he has good instincts
and works fast.
If our Tae-yeong approves of him,
then I suppose I'll trust him.
When he returns next week,
we should have a meal
with Chairman Gong's family.
[father] We should. [clears throat]
Mr. Kang, can you confirm you received
the pictures I sent for the ad concept?
Yes. Okay,
I'll see you at the office later.
[line disconnects]
[contemplative music plays]
[sighs]
If parents use the same lotion
as their kids,
a scent that's too baby-like
might not be the best, no?
[footsteps approaching]
[gasps] Mr. Kim!
[clears throat]
Hello.
Why are you all dressed up?
You're making my heart flutter.
[grunts]
[exclaims] You smell good too.
My makeup also looks good today.
And I'm wearing a cute outfit. [chuckles]
Should we take some first birthday photos
after the meeting?
Might as well take some
since I look pretty.
Well… [inhales sharply]
- Today might be a bit--
- Forget it then.
I'll just spill the beans.
[sighs]
All right.
Let's do it.
- Let's take some.
- Okay!
[elevator dings]
Mr. Gong.
Did you two…
come together?
No, we met on the first floor.
See you later. We should head inside.
[sniffing]
She was going on about how he started
wearing cologne and nice clothes,
and how it felt like
they were newlyweds again.
- But they were all signs of cheating.
- [Da-rim] Oh, no.
[gasps, sighs]
You sure about this?
Your wife works here.
That's what makes it more fun.
It makes it thrilling.
[giggles]
[in English] Naughty boy.
[gasps]
[exhales sharply]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[footsteps approach]
[in Korean] What's wrong with you?
This is where I always sit.
Find another seat.
[sniffs]
- Thank you.
- Here's the proposal.
- Hold on.
- What?
Look.
Oh, my. Nan-suk, look.
- He's so sweet.
- They're always so lovey-dovey.
- Thank you.
- [Go-eun] He's just naturally sweet.
Goodness gracious. [chuckles]
- Trash.
- Mr. Gong.
[Gyeong-min, knocking table] Mr. Gong?
What?
Could you tell us which concept
you prefer between the final two?
Well, let's see.
Let's ask the others first.
Personally,
I think the one on the right
would be better.
If we want our consumers
to emotionally connect
with the feeling of parental care,
I think it'd be better for the focus
to be on people rather than trees.
[Go-eun] But wouldn't that
obscure the message
behind our environmental campaign launch?
[Nan-suk] You have a point.
To make sure it doesn't,
we should show more of the trees.
[Jin-hui] If we do go with option two,
I think it'd be nice to have
a more front-facing shot of the kids.
[Ji-hyeok] Why these two…
Hey, have you seriously lost your mind?
- Yes.
- Maybe we should just make both posters.
[TF members exclaiming]
[Gyeong-min] One focusing on trees,
and another on people.
[Go-eun] Okay.
[Gyeong-min] And the copy
can also be different.
You think so?
We don't need to make them the same?
The format can be similar,
but I think the content can be different.
I think that would be good.
And…
Thank you.
The poster with the focus on people
can be worked on by Ms. Jang and--
- I'd like to do it.
- Okay.
[in English] Yeah, yeah!
[Gyeong-min, in Korean]
Then Ms. Bae and Ms. Lee
can work on the one
that focuses on the trees.
That concludes our meeting.
Let's go have lunch.
Mr. Kim and Ms. Yu, why don't you join us?
- Uh… Should I?
- [Da-rim] Yeah, you should.
I'm skipping because of my gastritis.
- [Seon-u] Are you still feeling sick?
- Yeah.
Then why don't we go out
and have some porridge?
[Ha-yeong clears throat]
Oh, right. I forgot I had something to do.
Sorry.
It's fine. Work is more important.
- Don't worry about me.
- [Ji-hyeok] Are they being serious?
- Let's head out together, Mr. Kim.
- Sure.
Ms. Yu, why don't you join me for lunch?
I have something to discuss with you
regarding work.
I'm sorry,
but I also have a prior engagement.
- Let's go, Mr. Kim.
- I'm off.
Okay, bye. Bye, Ms. Yu.
[groans]
[breathes shakily]
[groans]
[sighs]
[Da-rim] Food that's good for the stomach.
"Porridge or ginger tea."
[sighs]
LOVE PORRIDGE
What's this?
Abalone porridge.
I ordered beef porridge,
but they got my order wrong.
I'm allergic to abalones,
- but I couldn't waste perfectly good food.
- Oh, I see.
Then why don't you ask them
to make a new one?
It's fine. You eat it.
[door opens, closes]
[Jin-hui] How about we make it round?
I'll leave a note.
- Great.
- It could be bigger.
- Have a drink, everyone.
- Yeah, I agree.
- Oh, coffee.
- Coffee!
Coffee after lunch!
Ginger tea?
Why did you get ginger tea?
They were half price
at the shop out front.
Just the ginger tea.
[sighs]
[determined music plays]
I saw you earlier today.
What brings you here?
You seem to be in a great mood.
Where did you go after the meeting?
Ji-hyeok,
I have a crush on someone.
I haven't had a chance
to tell my parents yet,
- but our marriage--
- No.
You can't.
What?
He's a married…
[breathes shakily]
He's a married man.
He has a wife and a kid.
What?
I saw you and Kim Seon-u…
- kissing.
- [gasps]
I passed off your selfish
and immature behavior up until now
as being cute.
But this is just wrong.
You've crossed way over the line.
Are you saying you want to go through
with this marriage?
You're the one who said
there would be no love between us.
So?
Is this your way of protesting?
To prevent this marriage?
Stop playing with fire.
And stop trying to use people.
I'm not playing with fire.
And I'm definitely not using him.
Then what is it?
The truth is, he's…
Could you keep this a secret?
Please.
[sighs]
I'm going through with this marriage,
no matter what.
And once we're married,
I won't tolerate infidelity.
You should show respect
even if it's a loveless marriage.
I mean, why?
Why do you want to get married
all of a sudden?
You only care about your own feelings,
don't you?
Don't you realize
you're destroying a family?
- [scoffs]
- Ms. Go
is just an ordinary woman and mother.
If she finds out…
[breathes shakily]
…her world will crumble.
No, it won't. [groans]
This is driving me crazy.
Why are you even worried about her?
Because she's my team member.
I trust you understand.
I'm off.
- [sighs]
- [door closes]
[sighs]
- [Da-rim] What's this?
- Abalone porridge.
- Have a drink, everyone.
- Yeah, I agree.
- Oh, coffee.
- Coffee!
Ginger tea?
[Ji-hyeok] They were half price
at the shop out front.
Just the ginger tea.
[sighs]
[sighs]
- [knocks]
- [Ji-hyeok] Come in.
There's something I want to give you
before the presentation.
Here.
This is…
It's the clover from last time.
You picked it up and kept it?
It would've been a waste.
I worked hard to find it.
Turns out, this is pretty effective.
It brought this wonderful person
into my life
who paid off my debt,
bought me porridge, and more.
[chuckles]
I'm sure it'll bring you good luck
for your presentation as well.
So take it with you and see what it does.
I have to say I do feel a bit guilty
for receiving so much support.
I pursued this campaign
with a bit of a personal motive.
You want to carry on
your mother's work, right?
"I want to protect my child."
"I want him to live in a better world."
I hope your mother's sentiment
is received well.
Because that's a sentiment
shared by all parents.
I just rambled on and on,
didn't I? [chuckles]
I'll leave you to get ready.
Ah…
You got this.
[door closes]
[sighs]
[exhales shakily]
[chuckles]
Hey, TF!
Wait. Where are your shovels?
You should've brought them with you.
[chuckles] I heard you were just shoveling
nonsense to prepare for this campaign.
Anyhow,
I look forward to your brilliant nonsense.
[laughing]
Do we actually have a shovel?
I'd love to bury him alive.
He just needs to wait and see
who laughs in the end.
Okay, let's go win this thing.
[exclaiming]
[in English] "Ten Pocket Kids."
[in Korean] It means for one child,
as many as ten wallets open,
from parents and relatives
to even family friends.
In other words, fewer kids
mean a more privileged upbringing.
We incorporated this sentiment
into our marketing strategy
to elevate Natural BeBe
into a global luxury brand.
This is the "Born to Be Luxury" campaign.
As you're aware, this is Jessica,
a Hollywood star and a global influencer
with over 300 million followers worldwide.
We proposed the idea
of showcasing her parenting moments
on social media while using our products,
and we've made significant headway.
How far along are you?
We can sign the contract
and bring her on board
the second you approve the campaign.
[chuckles]
MOTHER TF
Luxury? It's nice.
But is Natural BeBe
a company that sells luxury goods?
[scoffs]
No.
Natural BeBe…
is a company
that makes essential products.
Products accessible
to anyone raising children.
The essentials.
Director Choi, how did it feel
when you first held your child?
Did you wish for them
to make more money than others?
Or did you wish for them
to become a prodigy,
skilled in sports or studies?
No parent would wish for such things.
You just wish for your child
to grow up healthy.
Don't you agree, sir?
- Yeah.
- [Ji-hyeok] That's right.
For the simple wish
that their child grows up safe and sound,
parents bear the heaviest burden
in the world,
and they do so willingly.
Natural BeBe shouldn't encourage parents
to compare their children
and raise them to outshine others.
Shouldn't we become their partners
who will share that heavy burden instead?
Inspired by a desire
to stand by every parent out there,
we make this proposal.
This is
the tree-planting CSR campaign,
"A Green Future We Draw Together."
How exactly does tree-planting fit in?
[Ji-hyeok] On the left,
you'll see the sapling
that was planted 20 years ago
as part of Natural BeBe's CSR initiative.
And on the right,
you'll see it in its current state.
While I grew up,
so did this tree to provide fresh,
clean air to this day.
And it'll continue to do so
as I bring a child into this world
to grow up alongside it.
Planting a tree
means fostering healthy growth.
And isn't that…
what we do best?
"In ten years, who will be taller?
You or the tree?"
"It won't matter who wins,
as long as you grow up
strong and healthy."
[sighs]
"Big or small,
yellow or red,
I like trees for being trees,
and I like you
for being you."
"It's important to be someone
without a dark shadow,

[sighs]
Good work.
You too.
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
What are you doing?
Mr. Gong!
[exclaiming]
- We did it!
- We did it!
Good job, everyone!
- Good job, everyone!
- Good job, everyone!
Good job.
You said you had gastritis.
I need to have a drink on a day like this.
I coated my stomach with medicine earlier.
Then you should
at least eat something first.
Okay.
Mr. Gong.
I totally fell for you today.
You're such an excellent presenter.
You were so eloquent.
You know, if he tried to sell me
electric jade mats,
I would have one in every room
in my house.
- Me too.
- [laughing]
- I'd buy them all.
- I agree. You were amazing.
That's why I've stayed by his side
for all these years.
It's all thanks to your hard work.
You should feel proud
of the fact that you beat
our company's marketing team
with your skills alone.
Let's clink our glasses.
- [Nan-suk] I'm about to tear up.
- Me too.
Come on now, everyone.
Okay, what should we order next?
Lobster? Pasta?
Order anything and as much as you'd like.
It'll be Mr. Gong's treat tonight.
- Oh, my. Really?
- For real?
Can I order enough for my breakfast?
[exclaiming]
[Go-eun] Excuse me,
what's the most expensive dish here?
[Gyeong-min] I'm curious too.
- Amazing. They sell abalones here.
- Oh, my.
- Abalones?
- We have to order this.
- One per table.
- Good call.
[Gyeong-min] That sounds so good.
[Jin-hui] Hold on.
We should've invited Mr. Kim and Ms. Yu.
We all worked on it together.
[Gyeong-min] They're both busy.
They said they'd drop by
if they finish early.
I wonder if they'll make it.
[exclaiming]
[Jin-hui] We should wait all night
if we have to. We must.
Mr. Kim! Over here.
[giggles]
- Come over here.
- Sorry?
Oh, gosh.
Ta-da!
What's all this?
- It's a party table for my first birthday.
- What?
I'm ready.
Here we go.
Can you smile a little?
- [chuckles]
- Great.
Can you take a bite of the food?
Great. That looks good.
Uh…
Pardon me for a second.
[slow romantic music playing]
[phone buzzes]
JI-HYEOK
YU HA-YEONG
- Why aren't you drinking?
- Isn't it so good?
[laughing]
What? Who finished this?
[sighs]
This is amazing.
Who drinks wine like it's water?
You see,
I'm in such a good mood.
I'm so happy right now.
- Here's the abalone risotto and lasagna.
- Oh, my!
- That looks so good.
- Oh, my goodness!
- Thank you.
- I can't believe it.
[Nan-suk] Mr. Gong.
Please have the first bite!
[Ji-hyeok] Why, thank you.
- [Jin-hui] Give me some too.
- [Nan-suk] Okay.
Mmm. Their abalone is really good.
[chuckles]
I'm allergic to abalones,
but I couldn't waste perfectly good food.
[sighs]
[Nan-suk] Oh, right.
Jin-hui, what's the update on your friend?
Did you tell her
about her husband cheating?
I didn't even get a chance to.
That bastard…
[clears throat]
I mean, her husband confessed.
- [Nan-suk] Oh, my.
- What?
He came clean?
That bastard told her,
"I think I found the love of my life."
He talked some bullshit
and told her he doesn't need
money or custody, just a divorce.
Does that even make sense, Nan-suk?
That's a load of bull.
She can't divorce him.
- Of course not.
- Right, it'll only benefit him.
I think I'd let him go.
[Jin-hui] What?
It's one thing if I didn't know,
but I already know
that he doesn't love me anymore.
How could we live under the same roof?
I think that would make me more pitiful.
[gentle melodic music playing]
- SHOULD I COME PICK YOU UP?
- IT'S OKAY!
ARE YOU STILL OUT?
I think we took plenty.
I'll edit the best cuts
and send them to you.
Uh…
Where are you going?
I rented out the whole place
for the shoot.
What about the first birthday ceremony?
I'm sorry. Something urgent came up.
[door closes]
- I'll see you at work.
- [laughing]
Thank you for the meal.
- You'd better get home safe.
- Oh, goodness.
- Get home safely.
- All right. Wait.
My goodness! [laughs]
[Go-eun] I'll get going too.
Thank you for dinner.
Wait, Ms. Lee!
- Let's share. We're going the same way.
- Oh, okay.
We're off.
[humming]
What? Wait. Where did everyone go?
They all went home.
Oh, no.
They have to eat this.
Why did you buy so much ice cream?
You're drunk. You were drinking
like there was no tomorrow.
No, I'm not drunk at all.
I can even go for round two.
See? I'm not the slightest bit
drunk right now,
and I can prove it.
[in English] One, two. Cha, cha, cha.
One, two. Cha, cha, cha.
One, two… [laughs]
[in Korean]
You're the drunk one, Mr. Gong.
We didn't even drink that much.
You're such a lightweight.
- Oh, geez.
- Careful.
Careful.
[laughs]
I'll call Mr. Kim for you.
[gasps]
The clover.
I told you. It was effective, right?
Holding on to it
helped you win.
[giggles]
Yeah, if you say so.
I think
you're a really great person.
You even lied for my sake.
When did I do that?
I know everything.
- Don't tell me--
- How could I not notice? I'm not an idiot.
Come on.
You know everything?
All of it?
- Then do you know your husband is--
- Of course.
I know everything.
- [sighs]
- Abalone porridge.
Ginger tea.
You got all that for me.
You even lied about
being allergic to abalone.
[chuckles]
[sighs]
Even earlier, you made sure to put
all the good food in front of me.
You were worried I'd hurt my head
and covered the table corner.
- But you pretended like it was nothing.
- Hold on.
Seriously!
[Ji-hyeok] That was because I…
[Da-rim] I know.
You're nice to me
only because I'm a member of your team.
But still…
[sucks teeth]
I find myself being swayed.
You know…
the nicer you are to me,
the happier I am, but it's also hard.
[inhales deeply]
[sighs]
Because I know I don't deserve it.
So…
don't be nice to me.
I'll also promise…
not to be swayed after today.
[sighs, groans]
[groans]
[mutters]
Chew your food thoroughly.
Good.
Sorry. I saw all the missed calls
from you last night.
I was too drunk to check my phone.
It's fine.
Here you go.
[Da-rim gasps]
Wow, dried pollack soup.
[Seon-u] Have some kimchi too, son.
Man, that hits the spot.
Who brought you home last night?
Last night?
I took a taxi home.
I probably did.
Yeah, I did.
From now on, just call me
if you think you're going to drink a lot.
[in English] Okay.
[sighs]
- Jin-hui.
- Oh, thank you.
[in Korean] This is the problem with wine.
It feels like my head is swaying nonstop.
Even my intestines are swaying.
I feel like I'm dying.
Are you okay, Da-rim?
[groans] It also feels like I'm swaying…
I find myself being swayed.
Don't be nice to me.
What was that?
Ms. Jang, you'll be in charge of
recruiting people for the tree-planting.
- Okay.
- Ms. Bae and Ms. Lee,
you'll secure the event venue and request
cooperation from public institutions.
Ms. Go, you can prepare the press release.
- Got it.
- By the way, where's Mr. Gong?
He's in a meeting
with the CSR team leader.
Considering the scale of the project,
we'll need to collaborate with them.
After always supporting other teams,
we're finally at the receiving end
of support.
That's the power
of being in a lead department.
Oh… [chuckles]
I guess winning that pitch
wasn't all good.
In the end, we need to do everything
we said we'd do.
[sighs] I know, right?
I'm happy, but this is hard…
The nicer you are to me,
the happier I am, but it's also hard.
I'll also promise
not to be swayed after today.
[gasps, screams]
- What? What's wrong?
- What is it?
- What?
- Is it a cockroach?
- What?
- Where is it?
Please excuse me.
I need to use the bathroom.
[Gyeong-min] Go ahead.
Could it have been a dream?
Wait. Did I mess up? [gasps]
Excuse me, Mr. Gong.
Yes?
So…
About last night…
Did I…
Did we…
Should I ask this or not?
Did you pay for my taxi fare?
The taxi fare?
Yes, I blacked out last night,
so I don't remember a thing.
I was wondering if you paid for it.
You don't remember?
- None of it?
- No, I don't remember a single thing.
I see.
[chuckles] I'm sorry.
I don't remember either.
I also blacked out.
You don't remember either?
Not a single thing?
Nothing.
[sighs]
I guess you're a lightweight too.
You should cut down on drinking.
All right, well, have a nice day.
Don't be nice to me.
I'll also promise
not to be swayed after today.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[phone buzzes]
YU TAE-YEONG
- [tsks]
- [door opens]
- [door closes]
- [Jong-gu] Ms. Gong!
Ms. Gong. [pants]
I've acquired a hidden card
that will completely overturn
the results of the presentation.
What hidden card?
Please take a look.
I'm busy enough as it is.
What about it? Who is that?
Take a closer look.
This is Go Da-rim from the Mother TF Team,
and that's Team Leader Gong Ji-hyeok.
A scandalous affair
between a married woman
and the chairman's son.
[exclaims] This should be more than enough
to get rid of the Mother TF
and even call off the marriage
with Taeyu C&T!
Wait, but look at this.
You can't really see their faces.
Are you sure it's them?
Hold on.
It has to be Go Da-rim.
That's Go Da-rim and Mr. Gong Ji-hyeok.
Anyhow, my team's youngest saw them
with their own eyes.
So?
Should I release it?
If we're going to release it,
we should do it properly.
Keep an eye on these two
and collect more evidence,
so they can't talk their way out of it.
Concrete evidence.
Understood.
TEAM LEADER GONG JI-HYEOK
[sighs]
[Ji-hyeok] What are you up to?
Oh. I'm writing up the draft
for the press release.
I just want to work on it a bit more.
Have a good night.
How can it take so long to do this?
Hmm…
This reads more like a list of slogans
than a press release.
Does it?
Excuse me.
Take a look at this online article.
You can see the headline, lead, and body.
Right?
- The content includes…
- Yes.
- …the who, what, and how.
- The who…
The how.
- And second…
- Yes.
- …try combining two or three key terms…
- Okay.
…from the lead
with some creative expressions.
- Got it.
- Yes.
There should be a file
of past press releases.
Hold on.
Hmm? Okay.
[chuckles]
[groans]
- [door closes]
- [groans]
[Ji-hyeok] Da-rim, are you feeling sick?
No.
- Look at me.
- [groans]
- Let's get you to a hospital.
- No, I'm really fine.
Don't worry about me.
I just need some medicine.
Just listen to me!
Why are you being stubborn
when you're in pain?
I don't want to trouble you.
I don't think I should do that anymore.
Did you forget?
All your organs are mine.
I'm going to do
whatever I want with them.
So just do as I say.
[romantic music plays]
EMERGENCY ROOM
[doctor] It's stress-induced
stomach cramps.
It appears she's been
under a lot of stress recently.
She should be fine soon,
and she can be discharged
when she wakes up.
We'll see how she does on the prescription
and bring her in for a follow-up.
Yeah.
You're right.
It's because you're my team member.
There's no other reason.
So don't let this sway you…
or trouble you.
[phone buzzing]
[music pauses]
SEON-U
But right now,
I want to be the only one…
to protect you.
I want to be…
the only one by your side.
[button clicks]
[buzzing stops]
I think…
I've lost my mind.
[music resumes]
DYNAMITE KISS
[Da-rim] You didn't go home
and stayed by my side?
[Ji-hyeok] You're being looked out for.
And despite the distance,
the worry remains.
[Seon-u]
It looks to me like you and Mr. Gong
are more than just a team leader
and a team member.
Go Da-rim!
What do you think you're doing?
[Da-rim] Can I get Mr. Gong's address?
Does your husband know you're here?
[Da-rim] I just thought it could maybe
provide some comfort and strength.
[Ji-hyeok] And people call that an affair.
I'm not a good person.
I'm also swayed.
