Dad. Are you mad?
No. I'm not mad.
Then why are you being like this?
Um, Woo Joo. Do you like the neighbor lady?
Yeah! I do. She even makes me delicious sandwiches.
But you know, you can't keep going over there and bothering her.
She's a really busy lady. She's the Chief of my company!
Okay? She's my superior.
I never bothered her, all right?
Listen to what I'm telling you. Otherwise you'll become a nuisance!
- Got that? - What's that?
That lady likes me, you know.
- A nuisance is-- - I'm so hungry!
Is there nothing to eat around here?
Wow, Nam Woo Joo! Great drawing!
Let's take a look. Who's this lady here?
The lady next door?
You don't need to know, all right?
To call him a nuisance just because of something he drew is a bit much.
Don't you think so?
When neighbors get on friendly terms they can draw things like that and such.
I'm telling him this because she's not a normal neighbor!
The lady seems to be a kind, caring woman the more you get to know her.
Hey. Watch your words! And the nicknames you give her!
How could you call my superior from work "Big Sis," or just "woman?"
She's older than me, and she's female, and yet I can't call her these things.
What else am I supposed to call her, then?
- "Chief." - She's only your chief!
She's not a chief to me or Woo Joo!
At any rate, call her "Chief" from now on.
Got it? Also, what kind of man are you, putting things like that on your face?
I'm getting ready for an audition. I'm in the middle of maintenance.
Please, do some real work for once. Got that?
Geez.
I'm working real hard right now, though.
Come on, make me look like Won Bin. Won Bin!
There's no way she's already asleep.
Is she still not home yet?
Take a seat. Want some wine?
Why did you come back?
I prepared some Chateau d'Yquem. You used to love this wine.
Why did you approach Lovely?
I needed a place to invest money, and Lovely needed funds. That's it.
Show me the investment contract.
Aren't you asking for too much?
I know just how you destroyed the places you approached and invested in.
And yet you accuse me of "being too much?"
I told you that you misunderstood what happened last time.
See? I'm totally innocent.
Still, the fact that you did unlawful things still remains.
I always invest with pure intentions.
It's just because people who get a taste of money always ruin themselves.
Get your hands off of Lovely.
And don't ever appear before me again.
You still hate me, huh?
But I just came here because I wanted to see you.
You still don't get why I chose Lovely among all the other cosmetics companies?
Leave those people alone. This time, I really won't stand for it.
Please... please, save me!
Not our company! Please!
- Please think of our employees! - President!
Please!
President? President.
This is awesome! The product is a total hit!
- What? Let me see! - Right here!
"All the colors we want are gathered in one place!"
"Please search for your own color identity."
Wow, they wrote a fantastic review!
Yes, this is Nam Jung Gi of Lovely. What?
You're MD Seo?
Oh, I wonder what you could possibly be contacting us about.
Yes, this is Han Young Mi of Lovely.
What? Where are you from? Samhwa Department Store's manager?
Yes, I understand. I'll give you a call later.
Yes, well, a meeting is fine. Yes, I understand!
Oh my gosh, they totally looked down on us and now they're calling us?
Is this real life, or just a dream?
I'm telling you, it's crazy over at the online mall, too!
I love this! I wish we could be like this forever!
We'll make it like that! Yeah! Let's do it!
But, you know... did something happen to Ms. Temper?
- Huh? - She's been like that all morning.
Yeah. She's been like that since she came in this morning.
And she was looking for the President as soon as she came in.
Do you know anything about this, Deputy Nam?
How would I, when you all don't?
But you're the one who talks to her the most!
Talks to her the most, my ass. Not at all. I don't know either.
- You're here, sir? - You're here, sir?
Good morning! You all saw the article, right?
Yes.
Seems like we're being showered with good news this morning!
This obviously means that our company is doing amazing!
All right. With that in mind, let's work energetically and vigorously today too!
- Cheers for Lovely! - Cheers!
Wow, you look so pretty today.
I think that something really is up. You really don't know anything?
I told you already that I don't know!
Oh, what is it, Chief Ok?
The angel investor you mentioned before. Is it Mr. Lee Ji Sang?
Huh? How did you know that?
Who did you hear this from?
Back out of that investment contract immediately.
What are you saying? What do you mean, back out?
He's investing 1 billion won in us. That's not exactly petty cash.
There's so much money that he's given us already!
No matter how much it may be, return it to him and cut off ties with him.
You can't keep him close to you. He's an extremely fearsome man!
Yeah, that's what the rumors said.
But when I met him in person, he was quite smart and gentlemanly.
Every company that he's touched has become ruined.
He's the type of person who doesn't care about the value of businesses at all.
He only cares about money, and nothing else!
Hey, even I know that much! That's why I'm trying to use him for this money!
Are you scared that I gave him the right to do restructuring, or something?
I like everything else about you, but you tend to look down on me.
He's like a hunter stalking his prey. You can't control him easily!
Oh, whatever, fine. I'll be careful.
You warned me this much, so I should be careful.
Right? I won't sign off on a single contract, so don't worry about a thing.
Geez. I'm so touched by your concern that I can barely see!
- President. - I told you, I'll take care of it.
Are you actually going to take care of it, though?
Yeah, I will! So leave already!
You'd better take responsibility for what you just said.
- Um, Chief! - What? What is it?
We've gotten a few calls from offline merchants.
Let's have our meeting first, and decide based on our results.
- Um, er-- - What now?
Um, did something happen with the President? Is it company-related?
The President said that he'll take care of it on his own, so let's mind our own.
Yes, ma'am.
You want to push back the restructuring?
Yes. The 99 lip colors are quite a hot product right now.
And we've gotten tons of calls from people
who never returned our calls before.
Is that right?
Things are going great right now, so how about we push back the restructuring?
I think that we'll be quite busy for the time being too, yes.
Well, I understand. I'll think about it.
Thank you, sir. Thank you!
I said I'd think about it. I never said I'd do it just yet.
- But don't be too nervous. - O-oh, yes, sir.
I'm sure you're short on production funds because the lipstick is such a hit.
I'll send you another 1 billion won by the end of this week.
Oh, thank you! Thank you, sir!
Oh, what's this bundle that you're bringing over today?
Oh, it's because my children are so busy that they don't have time to cook.
- Oh, I see. - I brought some side dishes.
- Then, keep up the good work. - Yes. Be careful on your way up!
I'm sure that her kids won't appreciate her for doing that, though.
But she sure is pretty, every time I see her.
- Wow. - Who is?
Oh my gosh! Hey, you surprised me!
Why are you so surprised? You're being real suspicious, Dad.
Is there something you're trying to hide?
No, it's because you popped out of nowhere, punk!
- And just where have you been? - Oh, I got a part-time job.
This time, I'm going to be a model for a photo shoot.
- So that's why, Dad, um... - I don't have any money!
Come on, don't be like that. Just 50,000 won?
I don't even have 10,000 won! Geez, you're such a money-hungry worm.
Hurry up and crawl on back inside!
Why are you comparing me to a bug? Geez.
I have to maintain my skin for it to look nice during the shoot.
[Lovely Cosmetics Photo Shoot Model Audition]
I'll announce the results of the audition.
- Mr. Shin Seung Hwan. - Yes?
- Mr. Nam Bong Gi. - Yes, sir! I'm right here!
You two are going up to the final round.
We'll announce the winner today or tomorrow after talking about it
so please go home and wait for us to contact you.
Yes, sir. Thank you!
- Geez. - What the hell?
Let's give it our best.
What's up with that asshole? It's obvious that you're going down!
Just look at the difference between us!
- Say hello. - Please take good care of me, sir.
- Yeah. Good work. - Please take good care of me, sir!
If everything does well for him, I'll make it really worth your while.
Well, I'll talk to the person in charge and contact you.
I knew that there was something weird about him making it to the finals.
But to think that he only got here due to his connections with Manager Shin?
Wow, why is the world full of stuff like this?
All good things come to an end.
Don't lose focus because of the initial good market response.
Oh, geez. All that's left for us to do now is to do well.
Aren't you being a bit too much of a worrywart?
I'm telling you to be on guard when you meet reps from other companies.
And don't you dare be entertained by them, or take their bribes.
Even if we just have coffee, our company will pay for your drink. Not theirs.
Geez, and here I thought... who'd try to bribe us?
We're usually on the other end of that.
If you transcend professionalism, it'll make things quite hard for us.
Please don't let your guard down and heed my words.
Yes, ma'am.
I mean, I'm sure that won't happen, but we'll heed your words regardless!
You all heard her, right? No getting wined-and-dined or receiving bribes!
No getting wined-and-dined or receiving bribes!
Happy, Chief?
- I wish I was offered a bribe. - Me too, me too.
Seriously!
We didn't know back then during those golden times
what exactly the Chief was worried about.
- President Jo. Take-- - No, take this first.
Why have you come to see me all of a sudden?
I'm quite shocked to see you, seriously.
Don't be like that, and use our companies as your OEM!
Your 99 colors of lipstick are doing so well right now!
We're done with Gold's "Restart" or whatever it's called, too.
Did you all forget? When Gold was toying with us for the herb extracts
the only one who helped me was President Sung.
You think that if you try to forget about that and bring me wild red ginseng
that I'd be bending over backwards in happiness?
Um... can you see what's inside?
Oh, and this, too.
We'll give you a pop-up store for three months instead of just a month.
How about it?
Oh, we don't really want to do a pop-up store again.
Honestly, we've promoted our new product as much as it needed to be
through our online store, and we didn't really have a lot of sales last time.
Then, how about opening an official store in our store?
Are you talking about the same store you promised us last time?
No. How about a duty-free store?
A duty-free store?
We'll do the interior of your store and stock it with Pat Pat and your lipsticks.
Oh, well, we'll have to go and discuss this with the company.
Then, I'll leave it to you. Also, this isn't much, but...
Um, why would such an affluent man such as yourself want to see us?
Yes, I wonder. And at such an expensive place, at that.
Why don't you take your families out to have a dinner at a nice place?
I've put plenty in here for that.
Please take one too, Deputy Park.
Look here! What do you take me for! How dare you give us such things!
- Hey, why are you playing dumb? - We can't accept this.
Let's just talk about work, shall we?
Oh. I'm sorry. Okay, I understand.
Well, you must be hungry. Please, eat.
All right, my hunnies! Come on in!
- Hello! - Wow, you're so handsome!
- Stop it! - What brings you here?
Geez, seriously!
Um, wow. I'm a bit taken aback. You're putting us in a difficult situation.
Oh, it's fine. Please, just take it.
This is just a small gift, after all.
It's fine. We're not the type of people who'd accept this kind of thing.
- What? - Deputy Han!
Well, let's conclude our meeting here.
We'll contact you after we've had a meeting regarding this.
Well, we'll be going now.
- Let's go. - Um...
- Are you all right, Deputy? - Hey. That was a bribe just now, right?
Yes, it was! It was my first time receiving such a thing!
I got a glimpse, and there were at least ten 100,000 won bills in there!
Really?
Hey, why do I feel so nervous when I didn't even accept anything?
I know, right? But it didn't feel too bad, either!
Is this how superior people feel all the time?
- "Superior?" Us? - Yes, us!
Oh, really?
Hey, we're "superior" now?
Of course you're the ones who are superior now.
You made a hit product for the second time in a row with your 99 lipsticks!
Is that right?
We were thinking of even tying in Pat Pat this time, to have a Lovely Special.
- What do you think? - I'm sure your bosses won't like it.
The products that are featured on my show are up to me, to a point.
Please don't dwell on it for too long, and join us.
If you want, we can promise you a back margin, too.
Hey! No thanks! We asked to talk about work, so what is all this?
Exactly. Seriously. Sheesh. How ridiculous.
Hey, hunnies? Get it together!
They're getting mad because you're not doing it right!
- Come on, play for a while! - Don't be like that!
- Stop it! - Come on, stay a while!
Seriously, stop it! Let go of me!
There's no need for this! We don't accept bribes or entertainment!
So if you have nothing else to say, we'll be going now!
Let's go, Deputy Park!
Deputy Chief Nam!
Deputy Park.
What will it make me look like if you leave early like this?
I'm sorry. If you're angry, don't be. And please, consider us.
We'll have a meeting with the other staff and contact you.
I understand. Then, goodbye.
- Let's go, Deputy Park. - Yes, Deputy Chief.
Wow, how things change.
We're even receiving this sort of treatment!
I do want to pay him back for all he put us through.
Yeah. We should've made him strip down and dance in his underwear!
What would that do? It would just hurt our eyes.
Yes. We shouldn't stoop down to his level.
Yes. We're different than he is. Yes! Let's go.
- I'm back! - Mom!
- Oh, my child! - You're back?
Yes, Mother. Are you making something delicious? What a great smell!
Is that abalone?
The abalone was quite fresh today!
Ji Ho liked it so much that it's his second bowl!
And um, where did you get this abalone?
Oh, I left their business card somewhere.
Oh my! Samhwa Department Store...
Mother, you can't just open this up and eat it! Oh no!
Why? It came for you. I definitely saw your name on the box.
You have to eat it while it's fresh. Otherwise, it'll spoil!
And what's this, Mother?
That was in the box, too. I didn't take even one of them!
Here, good work. You eat too. Have a seat.
- Oh my. - What is that, exactly?
- Are those gift certificates? - Yes, they are.
Is it okay for me to eat this? It does smell delicious.
The more I said to myself that I wasn't that kind of person...
Wow, so many bills.
Huh? What's this?
The more I began to say, "well, this much is okay"
When did he put this in here?
And "isn't this how the world works, anyway?"
This isn't right.
Woo Joo. Daddy's on his way home now.
I'll call you again later.
What is this? When did he put this in here?
Consider it my heart. Please accept it.
Geez, he's putting me in such a difficult option!
I began to compromise more and more of my morals
and began to succumb and negotiate with sinfulness.
How's the situation with each of your business partners going?
Well, as you expected, they want to carry our products.
We've never been offered this kind of deal before.
Yes, well, Samhwa Department Store feels that way, too.
But in exchange, they want an exclusive contract.
The manager at the department store said the same thing.
They said that they wanted the product to be
carried exclusively at the duty-free shop.
And JJ Home Shopping wanted an exclusive contract, too.
What a conundrum.
What should we do, Chief?
The online commerce route is the best way to go, right?
We already sell our products online ourselves, though!
- That's right. - A duty-free shop would be best!
Why don't we try expanding, and sell our products overseas?
Well, it's possible to sell overseas through online means, too.
And our people said they'd put our product on a Chinese site, too.
But even so, if we get a duty-free shop, it'll seem more like a luxury item!
It'll help out a lot more with boosting our brand's image!
But even so, e-commerce is the best way to go!
You can't compete with its PR power!
- But even so, a duty-free shop is... - Duty-free is the way to go!
- Hey, don't you know Alibaba? - Duty-free is the way to go!
Stop it, all of you!
After having heard your thoughts
it seems that your individual meetings went quite well.
All right, then. Let's go all three ways.
- What? - What?
But, um, they won't want to work together.
That's right. They all want exclusive contracts. They won't want to share.
So have another meeting, and do your best to convince them.
Um, Chief. Chief?
Oh, also, I'm just putting this out there, but...
don't act all high and mighty toward them. Got it?
No accepting bribes or wine-and-dine offers.
I'm sure you haven't forgotten that, right?
That's all.
I'll be paying with these.
I want to pay back a part of my loan.
Yes.
- Did something good happen? - What do you mean?
- Wow, that's delicious. - It is?
All right.
Wow, they're so fresh!
I can even eat things like this because your company is doing well, huh?
I gave Mother 300,000 won worth of gift certificates.
- Yeah? - She was so happy about it!
Really? Wow, my wife is the best! The best!
- What do we do? - Shush!
What do you mean, what do we do?
We have to try and persuade him one more time!
- Damn it, why did I take it? - Shush!
What did you do with that? I used it to buy a bag!
It's not like I could've done anything else with them, anyway!
Everything he gave me is already in my belly now.
And I used up all the gift certificates, too!
Damn it!
- Deputy Chief. - Oh my gosh! You surprised me.
What did you do with the card?
- I think I'll have to give it back. - What?
But you can't be the only one to return it to him!
- I already used it all up! - What?
Why you... how could you have used that all already?
I used it to pay the loan payments I missed.
Even so, I can't use it. I have to go give it back to him tomorrow.
Otherwise, I can't face Chief Ok! I'd feel way too uneasy!
Are you only trying to save yourself right now?
You definitely can't do that! You just can't!
- Sorry, Deputy Park. - Deputy Chief! Deputy Chief!
Sorry, punk.
Deputy Chief Nam. Please just save me this once and overlook it!
We both received it, so for you to worm your way out is betrayal!
Deputy Chief Nam. Can't we all just keep it a secret?
Are you really going to return his money to him?
- How'd you know? - Let's just be in this together.
Okay? Come on, don't just act innocent all by yourself.
I buttered them up a bit, just as you told me to.
- And here's the evidence. - As to be expected of you.
You really leave no ends left untied, MD Seo.
Well, if it's something that you ask me to do, I should do this much.
I'll talk to my staff and modify the margins a bit.
Thank you, sir! You really are the best, sir.
Good work.
I'm sure that you'll have no issues proceeding forward, with that.
Seems that way. Good work, Director Kim.
Yes, Father. What? What do you mean?
- Woo Joo did? - Apparently, yes.
Just a moment.
Um, did our Woo Joo really do this?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Why would I come all the way here if it hadn't been him?
- Oh. - We just got back from the doctor.
The issue isn't the nosebleed. His front teeth are all wiggly!
- What? - What are you going to do, huh?
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
You heard her? Apparently, his front teeth are wiggly.
- Geez. - How the hell did you raise your son?
That's why I told you not to play with Woo Joo!
Why are you crying? Go inside!
Dad, where is Woo Joo right now?
What are you doing?
Come in. Want a sandwich?
All for my skin! Step one. Oh no!
All righty, next. All right.
Why is it so moist? Geez. That damn back-door connections guy.
Woo Joo! Nam Woo Joo! Woo Joo!
- Oh my gosh, you surprised me. - What happened?
What the hell are you putting on your face now?
Geez, where did he go after causing all that trouble?
- Cause trouble? - Yeah!
- Woo Joo did? - Yeah!
Oh my gosh. Unbelievable!
What the hell are you talking about now?
- Hurry and go find Woo Joo! - All right, already!
- Hurry it up! - Where could he be?
The sun's setting, too... just where did he go?
Hey, son? Where are you right now?
Father, I just got back. What about Woo Joo?
Okay. I'll look around the area. Woo Joo! Woo Joo!
Woo Joo! Woo Joo!
Nam Woo Joo! Geez, where did he go?
Um, excuse me. Have you seen Woo Joo?
- No, I haven't. - Oh, geez.
Big Bro!
I looked everywhere he'd be between his school and home.
But I can't find him anywhere!
I think he totally wussed out and is hiding out somewhere. What do we do?
What the hell do you have on your face?
Oh, it's because I'm going to be in a photo shoot.
I have to maintain my skin.
- Model, my ass. - It's still moist!
Hurry up and look for him! He's probably hiding somewhere.
- Woo Joo! - Woo Joo fell asleep at my place.
Please come pick him up.
Geez, that punk.
He was sleeping so soundly that I couldn't wake him up.
I'm so sorry about this, Chief. I shouldn't be such a nuisance.
I'll take him right now.
He's not a nuisance.
I'm fine with offering him sandwiches once in a while.
- Hey, get out of the way. - You got him?
- Hurry up! - Ow!
There we go. All right, lay him down here.
Geez.
So the friend who was feeding him this whole time was the Chief next door?
I guess so.
Geez. Geez!
Um, Father. Did Woo Joo's friend get really badly hurt?
Oh my, yes. His nose was bleeding and his front teeth were wiggling!
And they're demanding that we pay for his dental work!
I think we'll have to give them at least 1 million for this to be over.
What? 1 million won?
He's so timid, like you, so I don't know why he hit someone.
- Geez. - Yeah, seriously.
He was never the belligerent type.
Don't worry. I'll give him a stiff talking-to.
Well that's that, but don't send him next door from now on.
It makes me feel uncomfortable, to be honest.
What?
If it was a woman who had your best interests at heart
and a woman who could make you really happy, I'd wish for nothing else.
If a woman like that were to appear, Bong Gi and I'd leave in a flash.
What are you saying, all of a sudden?
I'm totally fine with you getting remarried
but she needs to be a good mother for Woo Joo.
So the lady living next door is off-limits!
What are you saying, Father? It's not like that between us.
And it never will.
I'm just saying this because I'm getting worried about you.
Only think of her as your superior from work, got it?
And make sure that Woo Joo stops going by to her place.
Got it?
[Uncle, Grandpa, Me, Dad, Cool Idiot]
[Lee Ji Sang]
- Hello? - Chief!
Were you really planning to use us like this? I'm seriously disappointed!
What do you mean?
I heard that your deal with Samhwa was pretty much finalized.
They said that they offered Deputy Han something, and got their answer!
Offered her something?
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, is this Mi Ri? Hey, I can't do this.
- Let's just come clean. - Then we'll die by Chief Ok's hands!
Hey, it's even worse since it's the first time this happened to us!
I received a bribe that I had no right to, and now...
I'm going through so much right now! I just woke up because I felt uneasy!
How are we supposed to come clean now?
What else can we do, then? Deputy Chief Nam said he's returning his!
- Damn it! - I'm going to go insane!
- Dad. - Oh, you're awake?
You're hungry, right? Want to eat?
I ate at the lady's place.
- Why did you hit your friend? - Because I got angry.
No matter how angry you got, you shouldn't have hit your friend.
Did I teach you to be that way?
Ji Hoon teased me first, saying that I have no mom!
But still. Hitting him was the wrong thing to do.
- Let's go together to apologize. - No! I won't apologize before he does!
- Woo Joo! - The lady next door told me
not to hold back, no matter what! That I shouldn't live as a pushover!
I'm not going to live a timid life like you, Dad!
You can't say things like that after you sent it to my home on your own volition!
I did try my best to convince my Chief, but what can I do when she says no?
You said it was fine for me to take it without any pressure!
That's why I'm telling you I'll return exactly what I got to you!
Deputy Han Young Mi.
Hang up the phone and come see me. Now.
I knew I felt really uneasy.
We're all done for.
Deputy Han. Did you accept something that Samhwa offered you?
Um, so, what happened is... I really did reject it.
Did you accept it, or not?
I went home, and it was there already. So...
So, did you accept it, or not?
My family was already eating it.
And I couldn't exactly make them throw it up and send it back.
I'm really sorry.
Who else accepted bribes?
I asked you who else accepted bribes!
- I have something to tell you, Chief. - What is it?
Stay out of this. You had nothing to do with it.
Um, but I do. I accepted something too, from MD Seo.
What did you just say? You accepted a bribe, too?
Yes. I did.
And so? I'm sure you returned it to him right away, correct?
I'm sorry. I couldn't do that.
All of us were careless and couldn't reject the bribes.
We wanted to return them, but couldn't due to our circumstances.
You call that an excuse?
I'm going to pay him back as soon as I get this month's paycheck!
And what are you going to do about missing out
on the most opportunistic timing because you all accepted bribes?
I'm sorry.
And what are you going to about the casualties our company has suffered?
I'm sorry, Chief.
And what are you going to do about my completely shattered trust in you people?
I'm sorry.
Don't you know that accepting even one bribe sets you up to be like them?
Do you think that some people were born acting high and mighty?
No. They all started off like you all did.
"Is this okay? Well, it's just this once, so it's fine."
Once becomes twice, and the mere pennies you got becomes millions
and you get greedier and greedier. Then you become shameless, and demand bribes.
I'm extremely disappointed in every single one of you.
There's no excuse for what we've done.
It's not much, but... I'm sorry. Ji Hoon is okay, right?
You think he'll be okay? Educate your child better!
I'm sorry.
Even if it was an urgent situation, I shouldn't have used that money for that.
What? You want me to proceed with the restructuring?
Based on our analysis, we cannot avoid it.
We can turn full-timers who are not necessary into temp workers
and the production of products can all be done via OEMs.
We can decrease spending, and get rid of any dead weight.
Dead... weight? What do you mean?
Remember what happened when you were launching a new product last time?
And now, we even have immoral employees receiving bribes.
I really like Lovely, but your management of staff is terrible.
I'm sure that this is all a misunderstanding.
I know these two well. They're not the type to do that.
And they wouldn't dare to do that, either.
No, accepting bribes is fine. But they shouldn't have gotten caught.
I'll be sure to take care of all this, from my end.
- So, as for the restructuring... - If you keep pushing it back
and your business does not improve its management efficiency
then I'll take my time investing my next 2 billion won, as well.
These bastards!
- Hello there! - What brings you here, MD Seo?
Why are all three of you here at once?
You're all here? Let's go to the meeting room.
From now on, our company will not work with those who offer bribes.
Then, will you sign an exclusive contract with our network?
Did you already forget about the "backdoor commission" you offered?
To be frank, we want to work with all three of you.
I'm sorry, but I've already told you that that won't work for us.
We feel the same way.
How ridiculous. So we all agree, then.
Then, what should we do? Shall we work with none of you, then?
Or find another company to work with?
No. You should choose one place so you can compete fairly.
You really think that's possible?
After all, you all offered bribes, wanting exclusivity.
Rather than competing pointlessly, let's find a win-win situation for us all.
Deputy Chief Nam?
Yes?
Can you explain the pros of us launching with all three?
What? Oh, yes. If we were to launch all together
we can promote the product much better that we could with just one
and in exchange, we'll help the home shopping channel meet its sales quota
and offer a discount for the e-commerce site.
That's way too disadvantageous for the duty-free shop, then!
In exchange, we'll give out bonuses with purchases, and do a makeup event.
If you're not satisfied with that, it's fine to drop out now.
We have a lot of other places we can contact instead, after all.
Yes.
Wow, as to be expected from Chief Ok.
Such clean, clear methods!
Yes, this is the 99 shades of lipstick from Lovely!
It has sold out within 20 minutes of broadcasting!
- It sold out! - Yeah!
- Sold out! Sold out! - Sold out! Sold out!
I heard that Lovely is doing well.
They got on the home shopping channel and even a huge e-commerce site.
And their products even made it into a duty-free store, to boot.
You must be feeling real good, Manager Ji.
Why would I be happy about a competing company doing well?
It was you, right? The one who told Ok Da Jung that we got Restart.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You could've succeeded, but you've ruined your life thanks to Ok Da Jung.
Just be aware of that, bastard.
We'll just have to wait and see about that.
Sure, let's wait and see. Go now.
If you keep pushing back the restructuring
and your business does not improve its management efficiency
then I'll take my time investing my next 2 billion won, as well.
Why are you wasting time thinking so much? If his third investment is late
we'll be the ones who'll suffer the most for it!
President! Brother-in-Law!
Why the hell did Nam Jung Gi, of all people, have to get caught?
How can I fire that guy? I can't. I really can't.
Then fire someone else instead! You have to fire someone
so you can tell him that you're doing the restructuring!
Hey. What if Chief Ok is right and we're in his trap?
Oh my gosh, you're pissing me off. Now's not the time for that!
If you can't do it, want me to do it for you? Huh?
Oh my gosh, I feel so frustrated.
This is the money you had to use last time because of us.
I'm sorry. Thanks to you, we were able to overcome this.
We won't ever disappoint you like that again.
I'll believe what you just said...
is what I'd like to say, but honestly...
I don't know how much time and effort it'll take for you to rebuild my trust.
Of course you feel that way, yes.
Oh yeah. How did the vote for the photo shoot model go?
- Oh, that? Ms. Mi Ri, the photos! - Yes, sir!
People overwhelmingly chose person number two.
And Deputy Han and myself chose number two, as well.
- Good. Let's use this one. - Yes, ma'am!
Nice! Yes! I like it.
Last one! Yeah! My gosh, it's a masterpiece.
- How is it? - It's great.
- But what happened to the model? - Model? Where are they?
- Oh, yes. He'll be out soon. - I'm right here!
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!
- Bong Gi? - That punk...
How is he? He has a great physique, has no skin sags, and has great skin!
This is exactly the embodiment of the image we were looking for, right?
- I like him. - Wow!
But the most important thing is that this area is quite charismatic! Yes!
All right. Do a sexy chest flash for us!
I understand.
- How is he, Chief? - Great. Let's use him.
All right. Mr. Bong Gi, you're ready, right?
We're going to do a short, rough one. You get what I mean, right?
- I do. - Okay. All right, then.
We need someone to leave a lipstick mark on his left chest.
Hey, put your hand down. Put it down!
- Maintain your boundaries, okay? - What, I can't dream?
Let go.
Me! I'll do it! I can do it well! Just leave it up to me!
I like your lips. You can do it.
Okay, get over there and put a nice mark so it doesn't smudge, okay?
Thank you!
Nice. Real nice. Hurry up and pick.
Nice. Oh, how nice. Great choice.
W-what? You volunteered? You're making me nervous.
Let's keep business and pleasure separate, shall we?
This is just work.
- All right. How does it look? - Let's get started.
Okay. Lights!
Okay! More energy! Great! Yes!
All right! Just a bit more! Yes, like that!
Oh yeah! All right! Okay!
Flex your chest more! Yeah! More! Yes!
Nice. Nice!
I love it! Great! Yes! Just like that! More up!
Okay, great!
- Good work. - Oh, thank you.
Wow, I sure did work hard.
- Hey, what are you doing here? - What do you mean?
I told you that I'm doing modeling as a part-time job!
But why for our product, of all things?
Did you make a personal request to the Chief again? Huh?
Hey, Deputy Chief Nam Jung Gi! What do you take me for?
I'm not the type to make that kind of request to Big Sis!
Um, I have a request to make, Chief.
What is it?
Um, I auditioned to be a model for your 99 lipstick promo.
I made it to the finals, too.
But, the other person has connections, which is the only reason why he made it!
- Manager Shin set him up! - And so?
I want to succeed using my skills as much as I can
but they're using dirty tactics!
- So you need to use dirty tactics, too? - No, not at all!
I need a way for there to be a fair judgment to be passed.
I know you're the one making the ultimate decision
but couldn't I just ask for your fair judgment?
The shoot will be focusing on the chest. Are you confident?
- Fair judgment! - Fair judgment!
Just look here for a second.
Is that true? You really didn't ask her for any favors?
I'm telling you, it's true! You guys even voted on it!
I'm sure you're well aware of that!
How was I supposed to know? There was no face in the photos!
- Big Sis is not the type to play dirty. - Chief! She's the Chief!
Stop calling her "Big Sis!"
Also, I think you've been approaching Ms. Jang Mi Ri
telling her you know someone at Lovely--
Hey! Big Bro! How could you call it that? Why not use the term "dating" instead?
At any rate, no. If you're just messing with her too, I'll kill you.
Geez, Big Bro. You're too much.
How could you treat your one and only little sibling like this?
It's because you're my one and only sibling that I'm doing this!
You think I'd go through the trouble to scold you if you weren't?
- Oh, all right. All right. - Mr. Bong Gi!
Yes, coming! See you at home.
Geez, that punk. He's so carefree.
Big brother?
Yes, yes! The responses from the HSN and the e-commerce are both great.
And we've even started getting sales from China too. Yes.
We'll have to see about the duty-free store next month.
Yes, thank you. Goodbye!
Hey, Deputy Han! This is for the duty-free store.
We'll begin the restructuring process, then.
Wait, what did you just say? Restructuring?
Yes, that's right. And we are planning to finish this by the end of this month.
However, for employees who realize the gravity of the situation
and resign of their own volition as a means of helping the company
we will offer you your yearly salary in one lump sum.
That's all.
Emergency situation? Since when have we been in such a state?
I thought that our 99 colors of lipstick were a hit.
Our pigmented products are doing really well right now!
Pat Pat sold well before, too. I mean, you should be offering us bonuses!
But instead, you're doing restructuring?
Does this make any sense?
Who cares if it sells well?
We still have debt from when we failed last on top of development fees
and ingredient fees and production fees.
I'm at my wit's end, too.
It was a really heart-wrenching decision that I made
so just know that. That's all.
Reveal the details in your contract for the investment.
Termination without a proper reason is illegal.
Somebody has to take responsibility for our product getting leaked, don't they?
It's not like you were the one who leaked it, either.
So shouldn't the person who really did it take responsibility?
Is this so illegal now? Say something, Chief Ok.
Did you not find them, or are you hiding them from me?
What does that matter now? We did even better due to the 99 lipsticks!
And on top of that, I heard that you all received bribes.
Everyone is rotten from the top down, starting from the Marketing Chief!
The restructuring will happen. Just be aware of that!
Just know that, everyone.
There should be a limit to how much one can backstab someone.
How could he become like this overnight?
- This is too much, seriously. - What do we do?
What do we do now?
[Da Jung]
- President! - What? What? Huh?
How could you do this? We all made Pat Pat together
and we went through so much to do so! You know that!
You know that we worked day and night to get it to sell!
We just established a place for ourselves, and now you're firing us all?
When did I say that I was firing all of you?
I said I'd weed out the employees who don't work!
And who is that? Who do you need to fire?
That's why if someone leaves of their own volition, it'll be great for all of us!
Do you think that this was an easy decision for me to make?
So why, exactly, did you make this decision?
You said that we should dream of being the next Gold even if we're broke!
And so, why are you so hung up on money all of a sudden?
Yes, money, money, money! The time is now!
We have to take this opportunity now, when we have a lot of money coming in
and graduate from a life of being chained to this stuffy place
and establish ourselves as a huge, formidable company, Jung Gi!
- President! - What?
I don't want to hear anything else out of you, so get out of here.
I'm not going to change my mind, so if you say one more word right now
you'll be the first to go.
I told you to leave those people alone.
Those people, huh? What exactly is it that you want to protect?
Those people?
Or your fantasy that there's actually something more important than money?
You've already proved that, though.
The price of 1 million won quite suits people like them.
Yeah, those people are weaklings who can be corrupted for such a low sum.
They're not even in your league.
So go back and play with the big boys who are more suitable foes for you.
Stop messing with people with just one small dream!
Do you know what my dream was?
Living in a world that I'd created happily, with you.
You ruined that dream of mine. But... you want to protect their dreams?
This really hurts my pride.
You only think about your own greed, as always.
Shouldn't you repent if someone died because of what you did?
Someone died because of me?
That's not true. They died because of you. Or did you forget?
So you should be on your guard, Da Jung.
What will you do if someone else dies because of you?
Just fire me! If you really want to fire someone, fire me first!
Nam Jung Gi, you little--
- Is that what you really want? - Just kill me!

[Ms. Temper and Nam Jung Gi]
- What should we do? - We should make them want to quit.
Egotistical. Addicted to caffeine.
- Addicted to the internet. - Hey, you punk!
- Addicted to nicotine. - What?
We're the ones who made Pat Pat a hit, so why do we have to suffer like this?
Has that man started to get involved in company affairs already?
That man only cares about his money. He doesn't care if the company dies.
I'll be the judge of that!
Stop getting involved in all of the company affairs!
Just do your own work properly!
The world is the problem, really.
Those who've had a taste of money can't ever go back.
- Do you like money, Deputy Chief Nam? - Well who'd say that they hate it?
Would you want to quit working here if you had all the money you wanted?
You still believe that there's something more valuable out there than money?
Tell all of those people right now to choose between you and money.
I wonder what they'll end up choosing?
- Want to bet on it? - Crazy bastard.
