EPISODE 3
You're meeting Seo Dal-mi, right?
Yes.
How do you know that?
I'll explain in my car.
Wait. I just need to hand this over.
-I just need five minutes. -Okay, let's go.
-Come on. -Just five minutes.
TO DO-SAN
"To Do-san."
Is this letter really for me?
Well… I mean, yes.
"Have you ever wandered on purpose…" No, I've never done that.
Can you just keep on reading?
HAVE YOU EVER WANDERED ON PURPOSE?
"Today, I…"
Today, I wandered aimlessly on purpose.
Have you ever let yourself get soaked even though you had an umbrella?
That's what I did today.
It was a sweltering day,
and the rain totally cooled me down.
After walking…
"After walking for 30 minutes like that,
the rain stopped,
and an unbelievably beautiful scene unfolded before my eyes."
I saw a huge rainbow.
It looked as though it'd grant me any wish.
Then it suddenly hit me.
It's actually nice
to wander aimlessly every once in a while.
From time to time…
"From time to time,
it'd be wonderful to sail off without a map."
This Seo Dal-mi…
She sounds very eccentric.
You think so? I could actually relate to it.
I can't.
Why wander when you know where you're going?
You have an umbrella. Why get soaked?
She saw a rainbow after wandering for a while.
A double rainbow.
Right, that's the part I don't understand the most.
Why make a wish on a rainbow?
It's just light reflecting and refracting.
Hey, that's not the point.
Are we even on the same page?
Did you fail your Korean exams?
Oh, that was never my forte.
But in math and science I got good--
Do you not understand the letter?
"Rainbow" isn't the keyword.
-Right. -Yes.
Okay.
Then what is the keyword?
What am I going to do with you?
AN INVESTOR WHO INVESTS IN BUDDING START-UPS
AND PROVIDES MENTORSHIP
Cheers.
When's the launch?
The full beta version will probably come out at the end of the year.
-Nice. -That's quick.
I told you he's good.
Will you expand into Southeast Asia?
Of course.
-I knew it. -For sure.
It's sooner than I thought.
Oh, boy.
I'm sorry.
-Good evening. Thank you for coming. -Hello.
-Nicole! -In-jae.
Will I see you before I leave for the US?
-Yes, when do you go to San Francisco? -Next Tuesday.
Oh, it's soon.
How is your…
Oh, it's fine. And you?
-I'm fine. -Fine? Good.
You're going tomorrow?
Have you been waiting long?
Yes, very long.
I missed you.
Well, I'm…
Sorry, this isn't the time to catch up.
My mom and sister are here.
I lied to my sister
that I see you every day and that we are
romantically involved.
What? "Romantically"?
Ridiculous, right? I know.
I talked total nonsense, but just play along.
I'm not a good liar.
Just today. I can't make a fool of myself here.
So please…
Hey, In-jae. I was looking for you.
I was looking for you, too.
I thought you were hiding somewhere.
Why would I hide?
You're all grown up.
I almost couldn't recognize you.
Same here.
You've changed a lot, Mother.
"Mother"?
Just call me Mom.
Is he…
Yes, this is Do-san. Nam Do-san.
My boyfriend.
-Hello. -I've heard a lot about you.
I'm Won In-jae, CEO of Nature Morning.
Oh, hello.
I'm Dal-mi's… Can I introduce myself as your sister?
Sure.
Dal-mi bragged about you.
You two will co-found a company?
Pardon? No, not really.
No?
You said you guys are preparing to start a company.
Right.
That was actually--
What she meant by that was we'll be working together.
-Is that so? -Yes.
I asked her to join my company as CEO.
-CEO? -Yes.
But she doesn't trust us yet. So maybe the two of you can convince her.
Then I need to know what your company does.
-Got a business card? -Yes, I do.
SAMSAN TECH
I'm Nam Do-san, the CEO of Samsan Tech.
"CEO"?
My gosh, I'm amazed every time I hear it.
SAMSAN TECH
INQUIRE TO INVEST
Your business card is
pretty unique.
It's retro. Retro is very popular at the moment, you know.
Did you start a funding round?
A STAGE IN START-UP FINANCING
Pardon? A round?
Sorry?
Well…
Things have been moving rather quickly since round one.
"Round one"?
You've never secured funding?
You don't know what that means?
A funding round is… The thing is…
It's a seed stage company we're immensely interested in.
I'd say it's a pre-Series A company. Right, Mr. Nam?
Yes. That's right, pre-Series A.
Mr. Han.
-You know him? -Yes, he's an angel…
I mean, he's Mr. Han Ji-pyeong.
I'm Han Ji-pyeong from SH Venture Capital. Ms. Seo Dal-mi, right?
Mr. Nam has told me a lot about you.
Oh, really?
Mr. Nam, could you spare me a moment?
-Sure. -Please excuse us.
Did you check your e-mail?
-Sorry? -I sent you the term sheet.
Just laugh and act natural.
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AGREEMENT
It seems like he's doing very well for himself.
Right? Isn't he so cool?
As they say, birds of a feather flock together.
Why are you here?
I told you that Sand Box is beyond my ability.
Right, I know.
I don't expect anything.
Then why are you here? Do you work for UNICEF or something?
You're just here to help?
But I'm not sure if I was helpful.
You were.
People already think you're a hotshot CEO.
Me?
-Why? -Because you're with me.
-Are you boasting now? -I'm just being honest.
Keep talking to look like a hotshot.
-Talk about what? -Just… Say anything.
The lyrics of the national anthem.
"Until Mt. Baekdu is worn away and the East Sea's waters run dry."
"May God protect and preserve our country."
Nice one.
You should've told me your boyfriend was in this industry.
I could've helped him before going back to the US.
Well…
I don't think he needs your help.
"As the pine atop Namsan
-stands firm." -"Stands firm."
Dad will be here soon. You should stay and say hi to him.
Why would I? He's your dad.
Your last name is Won, whereas mine is Seo.
Is that so?
Where are you going? The valet attendants are over there.
Oh, the bus--
You drove here, right? Come, it's this way.
Wait here.
-But I… -Come on.
Hello.
-You know how to drive, right? -Sure.
Gosh, that doesn't sound assuring.
My car is expensive.
I rarely use it because I treasure it…
Forget it.
Give a safe ride home.
Why should I drive you home?
No.
Not me, her.
Take my car and drive Seo Dal-mi home.
Be nice.
Talk about something…
No, don't talk to her. Just keep your mouth shut.
Just nod along and smile here and there.
Yes, that's it.
Be the quiet, good-looking guy.
After that, give an excuse and cut her out.
What kind of excuse?
Just one of the common excuses guys give.
A terminal illness?
No, that's too extreme.
Oh, just tell her you have a girlfriend. That will be the simplest.
Say you're engaged.
But I'm single. I've never had a girlfriend.
-You're proud of that? -I'm just being honest.
Jeez…
Return the car right away. Don't get side-tracked.
Search "home" on the GPS.
You can do this, right?
Yes, don't worry.
The gear stick is on the right.
-This one? -No, that one.
As for the blinkers… It's on your left.
Dal-mi.
Can I give you a hug?
No, I'm…
You must think I'm shameless,
but I missed you very much.
I worried about you a lot.
I'm really sorry.
I'm so grateful to see that you've grown into such a wonderful young lady.
It's hot. Let's just talk like this.
I'm sorry.
As you can see, I've been doing well,
working hard and dating here and there.
Every day, I am grateful for the choice I made that day.
So you don't need to be sorry.
Dal-mi, I--
And from now on, you shouldn't worry about me
because my life will get even better.
I'll be honest. At the moment, I'm not as successful as In-jae is.
I admit it.
But In-jae is three years older than me.
So give me three years.
I'll outdo her by then.
Let's bet 10,000 won. What do you think?
-Did you say 10,000 won? -Anything more than that
is considered gambling according to Grandma.
Sure. 10,000 won, it is.
But it won't be easy to outdo me.
I know that, of course.
That's why I want to work with Do-san
and grow the company.
I'll try to get on Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg's level
so you won't dare to outdo me.
-Look at you bluffing. -I've learned to dream big.
Your dream is so unrealistic
that I'm actually intrigued.
Right? I won't let you down.
I'll be off, then.
Dal-mi.
Bluffing without a real plan
makes you a fraud.
Sorting things out afterward
makes you the same as your father.
I'm rooting for you.
I should go.
Hey, what's your address?
Can you just drive?
I need to enter your address to…
Are you crying?
Hey, why…
Just drive. Please.
Okay.
AVAILABLE
Could you please follow that white car?
I'm rooting for you.
Damn it. I'm so annoyed.
Why does she have to confuse me like this?
Here.
Thanks.
Isn't it a little hot? Should I turn the AC on?
Where's the button?
Oh, what the…
Why is this opening?
I'm sorry.
Let's just drive like this.
The wind feels nice.
I've never been in a convertible before.
Same here.
You, too?
I mean, this is actually better. I like the cool breeze.
My place is actually the other way.
What?
Really?
I can't make a U-turn here.
It'll be a while.
That's good.
Is that Sand Box over there?
It's so pretty.
Yes.
How pretty.
What?
I'm starving.
Me, too.
What's with him these days? He always has to be
the last one to arrive, doesn't he?
You look great.
-Can you call a taxi for me? -Yes, ma'am.
You're leaving? You should say hi to Dad.
I'm very emotional today.
I'm not in the mood to keep him company.
-What's Sang-su doing here? -Congratulations.
The right question would be…
Why did Dad bring him?
You didn't know?
This party was organized
so that Sang-su could build connections.
Are you kidding me? He's just my secretary.
Secretary?
Hey, do you think your dad is letting him work for you
just so he could be your secretary?
He knows you work hard, so he wants Sang-su to watch and learn.
-Then… -So he can take credit for everything.
No, so he can steal everything from you.
-Mom. -Wake up, you fool.
-Let's go in. -Okay.
Sang-su seems naive, but he's a weasel.
You look smart, but you're clueless.
Wake up, or he'll steal everything from you.
Either be a sly fox,
or be mean like you always are with me.
Have you no pride?
-Nice to meet you. -Yes.
Nice to meet you.
-Likewise. -You're late, Dad.
Hey, In-jae.
-You're here too, Sang-su. -Yes, hi.
-That looks great on you. -Thank you.
Dad, introduce me to those people.
Sure. Hi.
I'm pretty sure they're somewhere around here.
I told him to take her straight home.
He just doesn't listen.
Goodness, what a sight. Look at those two.
Gosh, I feel so much better now.
Here's your dessert.
You're not going to ask?
Ask what?
The reason I suddenly asked you to come
and bluffed like that in front of my mom and sister.
And why I cried.
Aren't you curious?
I am curious.
Then why not ask?
It's because…
Right now,
I'm playing the quiet, good-looking guy.
What?
I shouldn't laugh.
If you laugh right after you cry, hair grows where it's not supposed to grow.
No, don't worry. That's completely false.
Otherwise, everyone would have more hair
on their butt than their head.
Such emotional changes are very common,
so don't worry.
Really? That makes me feel better.
Is it because I'm not playing the quiet, good-looking girl?
I'm curious.
About what?
You. I want to know everything about you.
Your family, friends,
and the things you like.
It'll bore you.
Even my parents get bored when I speak.
Still, tell me.
I like…
What the heck are they talking about?
Boring, right?
No, it was very interesting.
And cool.
Just a second.
What are you doing?
Drive her home and end it once and for all.
-Who was that? -What?
No one.
Your girlfriend, I guess.
Of course, you have a girlfriend.
I knew it.
How could you be single?
I'll take you home.
No, my place is very close. I'll just walk home.
-Still-- -No, it's really okay.
Your girlfriend will misunderstand. Go home.
Well, I'll get going then.
-Okay, bye. -Bye.
We can't introduce that good-for-nothing as our son.
My first son has no job and runs a lousy business.
Who would want to marry you?
Among the start-ups that I didn't invest in,
zero succeeded.
None of them.
That's why I'm never going to invest in your company.
Do-san,
you're my pretty music box.
I bet you have a lovely melody.
I'm sure of it.
Hey!
Come on. Quick.
Wait, Dal-mi!
What? What now?
Yes?
Have you opened the music box?
Music box? God damn it.
Yes.
What did it sound like?
It was
unbelievably
wonderful.
I think I've figured out the keyword.
What keyword?
"Sail off without a map."
Hey, wait. Nam Do-san!
Hey!
It was very unlike me, but I thought
the exact same thing at that moment.
That it wouldn't be bad
to sail off without a map even if we were to get lost.
If it's with you, that is.
Take this.
-My business card. -Why is he giving her that?
SAMSAN TECH
SAMSAN TECH, NAM DO-SAN
Can I really take this?
-Your girlfriend-- -No, I don't have a girlfriend.
I never had one.
I went to all-boys school my whole life. I've never dated.
-Really? -Yes.
Same here. I've never dated anyone either.
I mean, there were guys who liked me.
But I never even glanced at them.
Because of you.
You've got to be kidding me.
Look here, "On standby 24/7." You can call me anytime.
-A retro-style business card. -That's right.
One more thing.
Here's the signed ball.
Right.
TO NAM DO-SAN
That's nice.
Jeez, this is nuts.
"Sail off without a map"?
So you gave her your business card?
Recklessly, without even thinking about the consequences?
-Yes, you could say that. -Look.
If you do that, you'll die.
Whether you meet a storm or a shark, you will die for sure.
But you said you could relate to it.
That was a figure of speech.
What is a metaphor?
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action
-in a way that is not-- -Shut up!
Okay, I will shut up.
So what are you going to do?
Will you see her again?
And lie to her again?
So you'll keep on lying for thousands of years to come?
No, not for thousands of years.
-The maximum life span-- -That's not what this is about.
God!
You totally cut me off!
Anyway, no more.
The show's over.
Do not contact her ever again.
Okay.
But what if she contacts me first?
-You heard from her? -Yes.
I've never received a text from a girl before
except for my mom.
Good for you. Your family must be proud.
Thank you.
-What did she say? Let me see. -Here.
It was nice meeting you today.
Thanks for your help. I owe you one.
I'm hoping for an opportunity to repay you.
Are you craving anything? Or is there anything you want?
I'm craving fried chicken.
Anything I want?
-A 128GB USB flash drive. -Are you crazy?
-Delete that now. -Okay.
From now on, show me before you send her any texts.
-Okay. -Write this down.
-"Write this down." -No!
Don't write that down.
-Write down what I say. -Got it.
No need to repay me.
"No need to repay me."
You already thanked me, and that's more than enough.
"You already thanked me…"
-That's more than enough. -"More than enough."
Sweet dreams.
What? What is it?
Nothing.
"Sweet dreams."
SWEET DREAMS LOL
Take out "lol."
Take it out?
-Delete it! -Okay.
It's him!
DO-SAN SWEET DREAMS
My gosh, thanks. Sweet dreams to you, too.
Dal-mi, I'm home!
Grandma!
I'm home!
-Grandma, Grandma! -Oh, dear.
Why are you so being so loud? I think my ears are bleeding.
I saw Do-san today.
-He gave me his number. -What?
Which Do-san?
What do you mean? Nam Do-san.
My first love!
You said he stood you up.
We finally met. The timing was perfect.
He showed up, looking like a runway model.
What? He's good-looking?
Yes, like a model. He looks amazing in a suit.
My heart almost stopped.
The worst of the worst.
Most men look good when they put on a suit.
It's hard not to look good.
But Nam Do-san managed not to look good in a suit.
Dal-mi said he's very tall, like a model.
He is tall, but that's about it.
He's lanky like a bean sprout.
Do you need this?
And his hair… Jeez.
Who cuts hair like that these days?
I bet he cut it himself.
That awful haircut. Gosh!
And what did he do when he got there?
Did he help Dal-mi?
-Have a good day. -You, too.
Did he help her or not?
Do-san is the star of the night
Grandma, do you know what AI is? Artificial intelligence.
Yes, of course. People talk about AlphaGo a lot on TV these days.
He works in that industry.
It's the hottest field in the tech industry now.
-But you know what's so surprising? -What?
He's so modest.
He's not a show-off at all.
He listened to all my nonsense and drove me home
like a true gentleman. Gosh, he's an angel.
He doesn't need laws.
He's a psychopath.
No empathy or emotions.
I thought I was talking to a robot.
Dal-mi called him an angel.
Because I covered for him.
Gosh, he told so many lies.
I sweat buckets trying to cover up all his lies.
Thanks for your hard work.
Sounds like you went above and beyond to help Dal-mi save face.
I don't want to go on about it,
but it was so stressful. For real.
All right. Good job.
Dal-mi said
God
must have felt bad for everything he put her through.
Maybe that's why
God gave her yesterday as a gift. That's what she thinks.
She said even when she turns 100
she'll remember every second of every minute.
It felt like a dream.
She's overreacting.
It's all thanks to you.
I'm worried about what's going to happen.
She'll find out in no time that Nam Do-san is a total loser.
-Don't worry. -What? Why?
Just mind your own business now.
I'll sort it out on my own.
You'll sort it out? How?
Tell her the truth.
That I wrote the fake letters
and hired Do-san.
What?
Life isn't a dream, you know.
SEO DAL-MI
It was a good dream, and she seems to have slept well.
It's time to wake her up.
I knew it.
But why…
She'll be so disappointed.
It's bound to happen, sooner or later.
Better now than later.
Right. That is true, but…
Thanks, Ji-pyeong.
For everything you did.
When will you tell her?
Soon.
Yeong-sil.
Why can't I fall asleep?
You must have something on your mind.
Yes, I do. What should I do?
Get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, when you wake up well-rested,
you'll get fresh ideas.
What did I even expect?
Yeong-sil.
I can't sleep.
You must have something on your mind.
The meeting is at 11, right?
Yes, ma'am.
FOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH
I want the typography to be a little bolder.
Can you add a drop shadow?
I-su, can you confirm my flight?
Ma'am, you have a board meeting this evening.
Board meeting?
My flight leaves soon.
I called the meeting.
Dad.
Hey, he suddenly…
I mean, he called and said he wanted to see you, ma'am.
I saw you yesterday. What's going on?
I wanted to see my beautiful daughter before she left.
Also, there's something I'd like to discuss.
You came back after so long
but had no time to rest. Are you tired?
No, I'm fine.
Gosh, she's not fine.
She's sleep-deprived. She looks exhausted.
Look, that's from a nosebleed.
Thanks for your concern,
but I'm really fine.
Okay.
I was too selfish.
As your dad, I should've looked after your health.
Dad, I'm--
Why don't you have your brother handle things here
and just focus on the US branch?
Do you think your dad is letting him work for you
just so he could be your secretary?
My gosh. No, Dad.
No way. I can't run a company.
That's right. Also, the employees won't be happy.
And the investors won't understand the sudden change either.
Investors? Who?
-What's my ownership percentage? -It's 72 percent.
Mine's 14 percent. Together, we own 80…
I mean, 86 percent.
Sang-su and I alone can
call meetings and make decisions
with the board and the shareholders.
Whose understanding do you need?
Work-life balance seems to be a trendy term now.
Think of this as a special gift from the two of us
for your work-life balance.
Okay.
Thank you.
This looks so good. Thanks, Dal-mi.
Seriously. Thank you, Dal-mi.
What's this for anyway?
I got this for hitting the daily sales goal
of ten million won.
What? You set a new record.
Just 30,000 won?
And it's a gift certificate?
Gosh. As the saying goes, "One sows and another reaps."
What did I tell you?
Why set a record? They'll just make you work harder.
What? Are you trying to say that Dal-mi is a pushover?
You're mean.
Why? She's right.
I worked hard and earned ten million won for the company.
And look at me celebrating.
I am a pushover.
They'll renew your contract, right?
Come on. She set a sales record.
Of course, they'll renew it.
I wonder if they'll renew mine.
Buy us lunch when they do.
Don't you want to buy us lunch
to celebrate your own accomplishment?
Not really.
I'd prefer to mooch off those who are successful.
Excuse me. Where is the CEO's office?
It's on the 32nd floor.
This only goes up to the 16th floor.
You have to take the elevator over there.
Thank you.
Dal-mi, buy us lunch
when your contract gets renewed, okay?
I'm sorry. I don't think that will happen.
I won't renew my contract.
What?
My goodness.
Okay, fine! Who scouted you?
We'll match the offer.
No need. And I have no complaints about the company.
Then why are you leaving?
I want to be on the 32nd floor.
The elevator we take won't take me there.
I should get on one will.
That's why I'm quitting.
Please don't do this. We won't be able to find your replacement.
You'll find someone soon--
No, we can't!
People with such a strong sense of responsibility are rare nowadays!
Hold on.
-Take care. -Wait.
Don't do this. This is unlike you.
What about the company?
Thank you for everything.
Wait, Dal-mi…
Take care. I'll be off, then.
Please persuade her to stay.
No, I won't.
I'm rooting for her.
Shall I buy you a gift or take you out for dinner?
I'd like a gift.
A gift? What do you want?
I WISH YOU SUCCESS
AI SPEAKER JANG YEONG-SIL
Dong-cheon.
Why is the AI speaker, Yeong-sil,
still on the evaluation list?
Well, I tested it.
-It's accurate sometimes. -"Sometimes" isn't good enough.
It always has to be accurate.
Even when it's wrong, it's very charming in an odd way.
In school, there's always the dumb guy who clowns around.
You know, the ones that you can never hate.
Yeong-sil is like that.
So? What's your point?
You insist on including him on the list?
Well, only if you're okay with it.
You told me I must check with you
before sending any texts to Dal-mi,
so I'm sending you the text I got from her.
You know the money tree, right?
I got a nice one.
It's perfect for your office.
I'm headed to the address on the business card.
How persistent!
What? I'm not being persistent.
I said I'd only do it if you approved.
I have to step out.
Okay. Yeong-sil's out, then.
No, hold on.
Keep him on the list.
What? Really?
Keep him?
What was that about? He confuses me.
He's softhearted but acts tough.
Hello? Nam Do-san speaking.
So where is Seo Dal-mi headed?
What's the address on your business card?
Our office. You've been here.
Damn it.
I have to say, she's so weird.
What's with her? She's awfully unpredictable.
Well, we're trying to tidy up.
Tidying up won't make any difference!
Let's do this.
-Come on in. -Over there.
-Jeez! -Careful, please.
Damn it. Is this really necessary?
-Hurry. -Move it.
Don't mind me.
-Let me-- -No, I'll help you.
-Are we getting paid? -No idea.
1ST PLACE WINNER
Here.
SAMSAN TECH
Here. Wear this. Hurry up, okay?
-I even have to change my style? -It's nice.
-Want to switch? -No.
You're here.
Wow, this office is huge.
-Is this your office? -Yes.
Cleaning this office must be a hassle.
I'm glad you know that.
I don't think I've met them before.
Say hi. They're my fellow co-founders of Samsan Tech.
This is Yong-san and…
-I'm Chul-san. -Yes, Chul-san.
-Hello. -I've heard a lot about you.
Do-san, Yong-san, Chul-san.
Are you guys brothers?
No, we met in our college club.
-We're club mates. -Do-san,
Yong-san, Chul-san.
Three Sans. Hence, Samsan Tech.
Genius, right?
That name is so lame.
So when did you guys start this company?
We started about three years ago. So I guess it's been two years.
Is she a minister or something?
Is she here for an inspection?
Mr. Han, what are you doing here?
I want to ask myself that.
What are you doing here?
-Here, a gift for you. -What? A gift?
It's a money tree.
It brings wealth.
I WISH YOU SUCCESS
Well, I don't think a tree can bring you wealth…
Thank her.
Thank you.
So you came all the way here to drop off that plant?
Yes.
And I have something to tell you.
What is it?
To tell you the truth, I thought I'd be no match for my sister.
But now, I actually think I can go up against her.
Well, I was a lot prettier to begin with anyway.
-Goodness. -As for our boyfriends,
I'm sure mine will be a better catch.
What the…
The problem is my status. I fall behind on that front.
I blamed my age and the world for that,
but it's my own fault.
I'm embarrassed, and I feel lost.
Gosh, no. I feel lost, too.
Don't. There's an answer.
You're the answer to all my problems.
You're younger than my sister, but you're so competent.
So I'm following in your footsteps.
My footsteps?
Yes. I quit my job today.
I'm going to start a company, like you did.
-Like I did? -Yes.
This is getting worse and worse.
-What are you doing here? -Just as I expected.
Where is your secretary? Why are you dragging that along yourself?
Sang-su is busy with the board meeting today.
What about you? Where are you going?
You know that I'm leaving today.
Get in. I'll give you a ride.
Where to?
What's with you? You know where I'm going.
No, I don't.
Where? Incheon Airport?
Or your office?
The office.
Good. Be clever. Go to the office and keep smiling.
Try to curry favor with your dad.
Then you can stop that idiot from stealing everything from you.
Ms. Won In-jae should be our chairperson today,
but I'm filling in as she had to go to the US for work.
As you can see, she's given me power of attorney.
SHAREHOLDER: WON IN-JAE
Standing up there,
he actually looks like the CEO.
Yes, he does.
Ms. Won
has expressed her wish to step down
in order to focus on expanding the US branch.
It's unfortunate,
but is everyone here in support of this?
-Yes. -Yes, we are.
Then all here is in support, and there are no objections.
Then who here agrees
that I, Won Sang-su, should be appointed the company's new CEO…
What's with him?
Everyone will agree. It's as simple as that.
You didn't leave?
In-jae, I thought your flight was today.
I didn't want to miss out on the fun.
Stand tall.
Someone's obviously got your back,
so you should stand tall and proud.
Dad, I learned an expensive lesson thanks to you.
If the start is easy then it'll be taken away easily as well
and a CEO without shares
is no better than chewed-up gum.
In-jae.
Thank you for the invaluable lesson.
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
I'm not going to the US.
You can have that idiot manage the US branch if you want.
What? "Idiot"?
"Idiot"?
Me?
Have you lost your mind?
Did you come here to throw a tantrum?
Yes. I've always wanted to but never felt like
I had the right.
You need the right to be able to throw a tantrum.
-What do you mean? -If I do it while enjoying all the wealth,
people will say I have no shame just like you.
What?
So I gave up everything.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I wanted to mess it all up.
And? Are you happy now?
That you got to say everything?
Yes, I'm very happy. I'm so relieved now.
You should do it too, Mom. Then you'll understand.
You're relieved?
You worked so hard to grow the company! How could you?
Do you feel free now?
No.
I feel shitty.
As for the length, should I cut off this much?
Then how about here?
THE DREAM PLACE
ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
FOR SAND BOX'S 12TH RESIDENCY PROGRAM
What is this?
The two million won.
After all, you did what I asked, albeit clumsily.
Wow, it's cash.
How much longer do we have to keep up this act?
It's done, no more.
Dal-mi's grandmother said she's going to tell her the truth.
The truth? What do you mean?
The truth about everything, from the letter to the party.
What? Then we didn't even need to come here in the first place.
Exactly. She'll find out anyway.
-Why set this all up? -I'm sorry.
I'm regretting it, too.
Mr. Han.
Does she have to tell Dal-mi the truth?
If we can keep fooling her,
she doesn't need to tell her.
But how?
You can't keep lying about everything.
He's right. That's too much.
That's a fraud.
We told Dal-mi two lies.
First, you wrote the letters 15 years ago,
but we told her it was me.
Second, we lied to her that I'm a hotshot CEO.
As for the first lie, all will be fine if you don't tell her.
The fact that you wrote the letters, not me…
Can you keep that a secret?
I want to,
because I'm embarrassed I wrote them.
The problem is the second one.
But it won't be a problem anymore if we get into Sand Box.
EXCELLENT
Are you giving me the finger now?
No.
Thanks for your help. Let's not cross paths ever again.
Why do you keep assuming that it won't work?
You didn't even see our demo.
-Our technology-- -I'm sure it's great.
You bragged about it in your business plan.
But what's the use?
You have nothing to entice investors. What is your business model?
And how will you generate consistent profit?
You don't have a clear picture.
Getting tutoring support? A crash course?
With tricks like that,
you will not get into Sand Box.
It's all about potential.
You need to prove at least an inkling of it!
At this rate, Samsan Tech will go under in no time.
Stop wasting your family's money and look for another job.
Stop crying or get out!
Why the heck are you crying? Stop it!
Guys, we did it.
-Did what? -What is it?
CODA… We came in first place!
Hey, it's true. I see Samsan Tech here. First place.
-We won first place! -Not just first place.
We won by a huge margin!
CODA? You applied for that?
Will this do? Does this give you an "inkling"?
My gosh.
-We worked so hard for this. -Gosh.
ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SAND BOX'S 12TH RESIDENCY PROGRAM
SAND BOX'S 12TH RESIDENCY PROJECT
A PLACE WHERE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
I WANT TO LAUNCH MY START-UP BECAUSE
I WANT TO BE AN INSPIRING CEO
I WANT TO TAKE THE UPPER-FLOOR ELEVATOR
I DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN AS CHEWED-UP GUM
I WANT TO TURN A MISUNDERSTANDING INTO REALITY
I WANT TO LAUNCH MY START-UP BECAUSE
I WANT TO REPAY MY DEBT
Mr. Han.
What are you doing here?
Hello, Ms. Yoon.
Are you launching
a start-up?
No, that's not why I'm here.
Then is there an applicant you're interested in?
Well…
May I apply to be the mentor for the 12th Residency Program?
What's gotten into you?
You said no when I kept pestering you to do it.
There's a company I'm interested in.
Is that right? Which team?
-It's better that you don't know. -Why is that?
Because they won't get in. I'm hoping they won't.
Then they wouldn't need a mentor.
Still, just in case.
They might luck out and get in.
Let's go.
Tell me which team it is.
A NEW BEGINNING FOR MY NEW FUTURE
I WANT TO GET MY REVENGE
All right. Relax, Do-san.
-Are you ready? -Yes.
Let's do this.
All right.
We're rolling.
Gosh, I can't do this. Do we really have to do this?
-Jeez. -Cut.
We can't be at the award ceremony,
so we should at least send a video.
Hey, just do it. This is all your fault anyway.
What? What did I do?
You don't remember? Seriously?
Let's say we do win a prize
but can't find any flights.
People want to invest in us, but we're not there. How awful.
We don't want such a tragedy to happen, do we?
Passport number.
When I was about to book our flights to San Francisco…
-What? -Lights off!
Are they here?
-If only you hadn't caused such a ruckus. -Gosh!
We'd be flying over the Pacific Ocean.
Okay, fine.
But this is too long.
-Right? -Yes.
Leo Burnett, the advertising genius,
said ads should be simple, memorable
fun, and catchy.
You know Leo Burnett!
-That's my motto. -All right.
Then let's come up with three impactful sentences.
What do you think?
I like it. Let's go with that, okay?
-Let's go. -Hey, relax.
-Make it impactful. -Yes.
-You're ready, right? -Yes.
We're rolling.
Go!
That was nice. Well done.
-That's it? -In one go?
-We're done? -That was good.
Just like the storyboard.
We had a storyboard?
Hey, we can't use this.
Let's redo it. That was bad.
No, editing can do wonders.
I'm Leo Burnett of Korea.
Do you want to see? Hold on.
-Hey, can we really trust that guy? -It's an honor to be the first…
We are the future!
I heard he got the silver button from YouTube.
He's shot commercials.
Even that green screen is giving me a bad feeling.
Nice! That's it. We got it. Good stuff.
-Cheon-ho. -Yes?
-It's pretty good. -Right?
-Gosh. -I told you it's good.
As for your pay…
Don't worry. We're cousins.
You didn't charge us for the business cards. Let me pay.
It's okay. Call me whenever you need my help.
Video production, editing, PR, and marketing.
Studio Jakdu has got you covered.
-I hope we never have to call him. -Yong-san.
-Here, Chul-san. -It's okay.
Take it. It's nice.
Yay!
But I want one percent of your shares. You know, right?
Cheon-ho.
-Thanks. -Of course.
Don't worry. I'll make sure this looks dope.
-Really? -Yes, it already looks good.
See that?
-He's my cousin. -Yes, clearly.
Jakdu.
Thank you for the umbrella, ma'am. Have a good evening.
-You, too! -Take care.
You, again?
Go date someone if you have time to visit me.
Did you have dinner?
Just talk here.
Forget dinner. What is it?
Will it take a while?
By the way, do we really need to send the video?
It says on CODA's website that we won first place.
Right, I know that.
But that's not enough.
That's right. Our message should reach the world.
-We want to be a global company. -Exactly.
-We're looking for investors. -Yes!
-But we have Mr. Han. -Come on!
Hey, we should be dealing with Google and Amazon now.
Han Ji-pyeong?
Small fry like him are simply not on our level.
But I think…
I still think he'd be the best partner for us.
Why do you think that?
Because…
Mr. Han and the three of us have the same objective function.
"Objective function"?
All right.
Look here.
There are two neural networks, the investor and us.
Let's say the two networks were to find the Nash equilibrium.
The investor and us. Han Ji-pyeong.
Samsan Tech.
These are the two networks.
-Right. -Yes.
-Are you listening? -Yes.
Okay. If they're too different, it'll be hard to calculate the loss function,
and learning won't be easy.
But what if they have the same objective function?
Then you'll only need one loss function.
And the learning process will be easier.
That's it!
This is why people always talk shit about engineering majors.
You're saying we can expect good results since we share the same goal.
Why say that in such a convoluted, roundabout way?
What is his goal? Are you sure we share the same goal?
SAMSAN TECH
-Samsan Tech's success. -Jeez, that fool…
That's our goal, not his!
No, he has the same goal as we do.
On what grounds?
I say that because we must succeed to make sure Dal-mi won't be disappointed.
And I know that he doesn't want to disappoint Dal-mi, just like me.
-Like you? -Yes.
I shouldn't tell Dal-mi the truth?
I thought about it, and it's not a big deal.
All we have to do is keep our lips sealed
and make Do-san a decent man.
Hey, that is a big deal.
How are we going to do that? He's a loser.
It won't be easy, but it's not impossible.
And it's my specialty.
Why go through such trouble? Forget it.
Come on.
Let me try.
Why are you being like this?
I can't even sleep these days because of my 15-year-old debt.
-That's why I'm doing this. -It makes no sense.
We met again less than a month ago.
Have you been losing sleep all this time?
You were fine for 15 years. Why can't you sleep all of a sudden?
Why is that?
Why are you interrogating me?
Because it's weird.
Why do all that to help someone?
Well, she said it felt like a dream.
A dream that she'll remember forever.
It made her so happy.
You want to take it away from her? Can you live with yourself after that?
Gosh, I can't.
Ji-pyeong.
So let's not wake her up from that dream. Don't take it all away.
Just leave her be.
The Nam Do-san in her dream.
I'll make it a reality.
-Are we good now? -No, not yet.
What now?
If you weren't indebted to me…
No, no way.
Are you being like this because…
Samsan Tech's success.
Seo Dal-mi, Han Ji-pyeong, and Nam Do-san.
Am I the only one who doesn't get it?
As for Han Ji-pyeong…
Sure, it seems like he and Seo Dal-mi go back a long way.
But what about you?
-Me? -She's practically a stranger to you.
Why do you care whether she's disappointed?
It makes no sense.
You're right.
Still, I don't want her to be disappointed.
Right, but why?
-Do-san. -Yes?
-Do you… -Yes.
That woman, Seo Dal-mi.
Do you like her?
Are you being like this because
you have
feelings for Dal-mi? Is that it?
No.
Yes.
-Cheon-ho, when will it be on? -Have some of this.
-Hey, do better next time. -Be quiet, will you?
Eat up. Eat as much as you want.
Those flowers are filling up our tiny living room.
My, look at those flowers.
-Eat up. -Kids, eat as much as you want.
-Eat more. -Yes, eat up.
Look, it's on!
-My gosh! -It's on!
Honey, it's on.
Hold on. So is that competition very famous?
Gosh, it's no big deal. Do you know what "AI" means?
Artificial intelligence, not avian influenza. Read this.
-Here, read this. -Goodness.
We know what it is. Like AlphaGo.
Yes, that's right.
I heard it's like the Olympics of that industry,
but I don't know much.
My, you must be so proud of him.
Geum-jeong, you said
you found wild ginseng in your conception dream.
Gosh, was mine about sweet potatoes?
My son frustrates me so much.
Don't glare at your mom.
Go get your mom something to drink.
They'll announce it now!
Listen up!
SAMSAN TECH
-Well done! -We did it!
Great job, guys!
-Nam Do-san! -First place!
-Yes! -My gosh!
Gosh, you must be so proud of your son.
Congratulations.
Guys, listen up! Do-san will speak!
-Congratulations. -You'll see Do-san now.
SAMSAN TECH
Ouch, I fell.
That nutjob.
This is annoying.
NAM DO-SAN WINS FIRST PLACE
Turn it off!
-Oh, boy. -Goodness.
Turns out, Leo Burnett was our anti-fan.
The green screen gave me the heebie-jeebies.
I told you I had a bad feeling about this.
Don't come home for a while.
I'm sorry, Do-san.
Just cry. Cry all you want.
Isn't that a place for people with no money or connections?
I ran into Dal-mi earlier.
In those clothes?
Do-san and I are going on our first official date tomorrow.
-Did you say this is the salad fork? -The dessert fork!
What's ordinary to one person can be extraordinary to another.
-Right. -What?
What?
What do you like about me?
Just give me some tips whether it's on my style or business.
What's your hotshot boyfriend doing here?
Why are you here?
