EPISODE 8
Mr. Kim, are you not leaving?
I need to back up what we worked on today.
Why do you back up so often?
You can never back up too often.
Exactly. At my previous job… I mean,
it was this huge company. I forgot to back up,
and it almost cost me 100 million won.
You know the company, Just One Day, on the second floor?
-Good luck, Mr. Kim. -Thanks.
Of course. They recently raised four billion won.
-See you, buddy. -See you.
They lost 100 million won to a hacker through a ransomware attack.
Really?
Those damn hackers make it even more difficult for us to become successful.
We'd better lock the stable door before the horse is stolen.
We don't even have any horses yet. What's the point?
Why back up when there's nothing to steal?
It never hurts to be prepared.
Who knows if investments will suddenly start pouring in?
Exactly. You never know.
Yes, you never know.
Even if you don't like someone now… My backpack is open, Ms. Jung.
You might one day go crazy for that person.
Stop it.
Sometimes, the opposite happens.
Who knows if your best friend will one day become
your worst enemy?
People are unpredictable, and so is life.
There's no telling what might happen.
So is coding.
From a power outage to hacking,
all kinds of things can happen, and there's nothing you can do.
The footage of Nam Do-san making a scene…
That's why we should…
Hand the CCTV footage over to the legal team.
…always back up.
This looks bad.
I heard engineers should be as careful with their hands as pianists.
Don't worry. It's not a big deal.
Should we go to the hospital?
No. It's just a little scratch.
Still…
-Dal-mi. -Yes?
Can I ask you something?
What is it?
What do you like about me?
What?
Well…
You asked this question once before.
What?
Did I?
I don't remember it.
Your hand.
I like your hand.
You supported me completely today.
I'll never forget it.
It's done.
A COPY OF DATA STORED ELSEWHERE TO PREPARE FOR WHEN THE ORIGINAL IS LOST
What the hell?
Why would anyone give flowers to a girl? You can't even eat them.
I know. That guy's clueless.
An external hard drive or a wireless keyboard would last longer.
Exactly. What an idiot.
Hold on. What's that moron doing now?
Is his body temperature 40°C or something?
Everyone has the same body temperature.
-Why would he give his jacket to her? -That's completely pointless…
I guess it wasn't pointless, after all.
It totally makes sense.
Gosh. Look, Chul-san.
I guess this is a sign that we live in a developed country.
I know. Do you think we'll become like them one day?
Of course.
If this punk did, why can't we?
-Yong-san, I agree. -Right?
It's all about the hands.
It really is.
-What? -No idea.
Guys, don't you think it's the perfect weather for coding?
Gosh, what's with the sky? Why is it so beautiful?
What happened? Why is it so blue?
Click.
Hold on. Feel the wind. It's perfect.
The weather today is just crazy.
-Click. -It's you that's crazy.
Is he really crazy? What's with him?
They're song lyrics. "Good Day" by IU.
He's so happy that he's going crazy.
Gosh. If that's what happens when you become one of them,
Chul-san, I choose to not take that path.
But I do.
You stay here.
Click.
Hey, where are you going? Hey!
-Thank you for your time. -Thank you.
Let's keep in touch.
-Thank you. -Let's go.
What did you talk about?
She told us what she'd like in our solution.
Is that so? What might those things be, Ms. Jung?
First of all, it needs excellent image and text recognition ability
even when the image and text are moving quickly.
Handwriting recognition is a must, and so is money identification.
Apparently, the visually impaired are often short-changed.
Can you make it work?
-No. -Yes.
-Hey! -Hey!
Most apps for the visually impaired have these functions.
We need to provide differentiated features.
Developers sound sexy when they say they can do something.
-We can do it. -You said you wouldn't take that path.
But it's the path to differentiation.
What features could we add?
Do you think we could make guide dogs talk?
We can't because we're developers, not gods.
You're right. I know it's impossible,
but if I were blind, I'd need that more than anything.
"How many people are in front of me? What do their expressions look like?
Where's the crosswalk?"
I'd wish my dog could answer those questions.
But you can't make a dog talk.
Not even Tony Stark could do that.
Wait, we can do it.
Are you saying you can surpass Tony Stark?
-Dal-mi. -Yes?
You're a genius. How did you think of such a great idea?
Me? I don't think I am.
You are. You really are a genius.
What's so great about my idea?
Why am I suddenly a genius?
-Let's go. I'll explain to you. -What?
-Come on. -Me?
I'm a genius?
Am I the only one who doesn't understand what's going on?
What is he talking about? Why is she a genius?
Because she's exceptionally pretty?
But that's you, Ms. Jung.
All right. This will differentiate us.
It's an AI speaker, right? What was its name again?
Hello. My name is Yeong-sil.
Yeong-sil, where's the crosswalk?
I'd tell you if I could see where it is.
See? It'd tell us if it could see it.
So let's show it to him.
-You're amazing! -We'll show it?
-That sounds great. -Am I the only one who doesn't understand?
How can we show it?
Ms. Jung, what's the technology
we have?
-Image recognition. -Bingo.
What if we combine image recognition with voice-processing technology?
You ask the speaker a question.
Then the camera sees.
And the speaker answers the question.
So the speaker enables a two-way communication?
Exactly.
But how do we put Yeong-sil in this?
All we have to do is
use Yeong-sil's API in our app.
Is that even possible?
Real-time implementation might be hard.
Don't worry. We can make it work. We will.
I'll make sure we find a way.
Ms. Jung, join us.
It won't work.
Why do you say that without even looking into it?
-This is a brilliant idea-- -I know. It is brilliant.
I like the name, too. "NoonGil."
BUSINESS PLAN
But if this were such a great idea, why has no one done it yet?
-There are similar services, in the US. -I know.
Google and MS are doing it.
And a mere start-up wants to do it?
Yes, we do.
Why? Do you think we can't?
Do you want facts or a future filled with hopes and dreams?
A future filled with hopes and dreams.
That's never going to come.
Ms. Yoon, what are you doing here?
Why are you being so negative?
Have you calculated the API cost of Yeong-sil?
Of course.
I've calculated the estimated cost based on a similar solution in the US.
The API cost of Yeong-sil is 4 won per 15 seconds.
Let's say each user uses our service for 5 minutes a day
and our DAU is 1,000.
That gives us a yearly API cost of 29,200,000 won,
which is just under 30 million.
And where does that money come from?
-In-app advertising, of course-- -Are you sure?
Who is your app for again?
Then we'll find investors.
If your DAU is 1,000, it costs 30 million. If it's 10,000, then 300 million.
The more users, the higher the cost. Who'd invest in this?
I'm sure someone will.
Surely, there will be investors out there who will be moved
-by our solution. -No, there won't be.
Investors are moved by one thing.
-Money. -No.
We can persuade them with something else other--
No, you can't.
No one wants Samsan Tech to succeed more than I do.
But even I'm not convinced.
How are you going to persuade others?
What if I convince you?
What if I try to persuade you, and it works?
It won't.
Still, let me give it a try.
What? What are you doing?
What is this?
If I manage to convince you, it'll light up.
I told you. It's not going to work.
Let me tell you about my childhood memory.
It's already wrong.
Don't be so mushy. Investors want to hear about facts and data.
It was about 15 years ago.
One day,
Do-san sent me this letter.
And it taught me something.
I thought he'd always be with me.
How precious the things that I take for granted actually are.
I took the time we spent together for granted
when every moment was a gift.
And how valuable everyday life is.
That's what the letter taught me.
I'm not trying to achieve something new and great here.
It's just…
For some people, what's ordinary to us isn't ordinary at all.
I want our technology to help them.
Even just a little bit.
Even if it's just a tiny little bit,
if we can protect their everyday lives,
I think that's reason enough to do this.
I'm sure someone out there thinks like me.
Hold on. See? You're convinced, right?
What? Wait, what's going on? Gosh.
-What is this? -Is your heart fluttering?
This is unfair. This is…
This is cheating.
Who says my heart is fluttering?
This thing is a failure. It's malfunctioning. It's an error.
Deny it all you want,
but the heart never lies.
Thank you for your honest opinion.
No, wait. This is not right.
Hey. Wait, Ms. Seo.
Think again.
It's a path filled with hardship.
While trying to do good, you'll fail everyone. You could get hurt.
Mr. Han.
I've given it a lot of thought,
and I think I actually enjoy hardship.
So don't worry too much.
And thanks for the coffee.
What do I do with her?
-I can see why your heart fluttered. -No, it didn't…
Ms. Yoon.
The more success they have, the harder the CEO will have to work,
since they have to rely on investments.
Please sit.
I ran a business like this myself when I was young.
I had to beg for money day in, day out.
It was nerve-racking.
Exactly.
But the thing is,
they're at least clear about "why."
But that's about it.
They don't know what to do or how to do it.
As long as they know why they do it, the rest will follow.
Like the girl on the swing?
Exactly.
Well… Ms. Yoon.
-Let me tell you something. -What is it?
Ms. Won In-jae and Ms. Seo Dal-mi are sisters.
What?
Their last names are different.
Their parents got divorced,
and they grew up separately.
Ms. Seo lived with her father, and Ms. Won her mother.
Does that mean…
Yes. The girl on the swing
might be Ms. Won,
but it might also be Ms. Seo.
All you do is sit on your ass all day.
Oh, are you actually standing? I didn't know.
I thought you were sitting down because you're so short.
Why didn't you say that to his face?
Don't worry. I did something even worse to him.
I heard. Nam Do-san smashed his nameplate?
Why? I gave you that information to help you.
It's just… I didn't want to let you have your way this time.
Have my way?
You know, you used to dump all the food you didn't like on me.
Bitter persimmons, sour apples…
Food that only looked good on the outside. You don't remember?
I'm not sure.
You fooled me so many times, but I still ate
the awful things you gave me.
I was so stupid.
But I don't want to be anymore. That's why this time, I spat it out.
Ms. Seo.
I have a meeting to attend. See you.
Let's go.
PART-TIME HELP WANTED
No…
No matter how pinched I am, I can't do that.
I'll get a herniated disc if I lift heavy things at my age.
FINALE ADDICT
-Yes? -You finally picked up.
Is your puberty over yet?
Can you reopen my credit cards?
Have you run out of cash now?
You lasted pretty long this time, though.
Yes.
I can't do that unless you give me something in return.
Like what?
Bring In-jae back home, and I'll reopen your cards.
Bring her back home?
Did she run away from home?
You didn't know that?
Oh, my. You two never cease to amaze me.
When did she leave?
Right after making a scene at the shareholders' meeting.
Have you heard anything from…
Hello? A-hyeon?
Is this woman crazy?
Hello? In-jae?
I heard that you ran away from home.
Where are you staying? A hotel?
No. I'm renting a studio apartment near Sand Box.
A studio apartment? A CEO can't live in a studio apartment.
Many CEOs do that. It's fully furnished and safe.
More than anything, I feel at home.
Why don't you just swallow your pride and go back to your father's company--
-Mom. -He seems to want you back.
-I also-- -If that's what this is about, I'm off.
No, wait. Fine.
Just finish your food.
So?
Are you satisfied?
Yes.
What? Do you think I'm not?
No.
You look satisfied.
This is a list of CSR teams.
You can't display advertisements or charge your users.
The only way for you to make money is through help from big companies.
I made a list of companies that have a high CSR budget for this year.
Okay. Let me explain.
The ones in blue are interested in the welfare of the handicapped.
The ones in red need to work on their image
because of problematic owners, tax evasion charges, and so on.
Bring that up, and they'll listen.
Thank you, Mr. Han.
For what?
You usually put the brakes on what we do,
but this time, you're stepping on the gas.
Cars without brakes can't speed
because they'd have to ram into a wall to stop.
I know that.
I ask you to keep putting the brakes on us.
All right.
Wait, Mr. Han.
May I ask when your birthday is?
Why?
I want to do something. I think I'll continue to be nosy.
When is it?
It's May 7.
Gosh, I missed it.
Wait, did you say May 7?
Yes, it's the same as Do-san's.
My birthday.
We, Samsan Tech, developed NoonGil
for the visually impaired.
By combining image recognition and AI voice-processing,
it's much more convenient for users.
If Me Group funds this service,
we believe it would help enhance Me Group's public image.
-Can I get your business card? -Sure. Here you go.
I'll discuss with the team and let you know.
LIST OF DOMESTIC CSR TEAMS ME GROUP
NoonGil isn't only interested in profits.
We intend to promote the public good by helping the visually impaired.
Funding the operation of this service
would greatly enhance the image of World Oil.
WORLD OIL
But I'm already in the lobby right now.
Can you spare five minutes?
I see.
LIST OF DOMESTIC CSR TEAMS
How about next week, then?
I won't have time next week, either.
Please just email me the information.
Excuse me. Are you Ms. Lee Hye-won, by any chance?
Yes, that's me. Who are you?
I'm Seo Dal-mi, CEO of Samsan Tech, the one on the phone with you.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry, but something came up, so I'm headed for Gapyeong right now.
Oh, really?
I happen to be headed there, too.
How about I join you and brief you on our service on the way?
Let's go.
Sure.
Yeong-sil, turn on NoonGil.
Okay.
Try showing this to the camera.
Our service, NoonGil, started with the question,
"What if guide dogs could talk?"
Oh, okay.
Samsan Tech was established based on image recognition technology.
And that technology works as the guide dog's eyes.
Yeong-sil, what is this?
There are two 10,000-won bills and four 1,000-won bills.
-Yes! It worked! -It's correct.
-It's accurate! -It worked!
This is incredible.
I'm so thankful. I love it.
Using our technology, it recognizes objects
and tells you the result.
NoonGil lets the visually impaired read books,
get on the right buses,
and check the expiration date on a milk carton
before buying it.
It might sound trivial,
but it can bring about amazing results.
Try showing other things, too. Yeong-sil knows everything.
Try anything.
What? Me?
Yeong-sil, who is the person in front of me?
It's a man in his 20s wearing fake glasses to look stylish.
-That's accurate. -It tells everything as it is.
I feel hurt. It didn't have to be so specific.
The founder of Seonju Insurance Company has always emphasized
the importance of building a society for all.
NoonGil fully embodies the spirit of that…
You have arrived at your destination.
We're here. Where are you going?
It's not far from here.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Your service sounds great,
but we've already allotted our budget for the year to this place.
I'm afraid we can't fund NoonGil.
Oh… I see.
-Then please consider it next year. -Of course.
I'll include it in the list. It sounds like a great service.
Thank you.
See you again, Ms. Seo.
Okay. See you.
BUSINESS PLAN
HAN JI-PYEONG
Hi, Ji-pyeong. It's Hye-won.
I see telephone poles everywhere.
How can there be no reception?
I think I'm going deeper and deeper into the mountains.
What is this?
Cow dung?
Gosh.
Unbelievable.
What should I do?
Seriously.
Darn it.
Mr. Han?
-Get in. -What are you doing here?
I had some business nearby. Get in.
The thing is,
my shoe is covered in cow dung.
Cow dung?
It's pretty bad, right?
-What do we do with this? -My, that's…
-Can you turn it a little? -Hold the back…
Oh, my.
You haven't used that bag for incombustible waste yet?
Oh, that. I don't need it anymore.
What were you doing here, anyway?
Well, I…
I come here quite often.
What's there to do out here in Gapyeong?
There are things to do. For example…
PINE NUT KALGUKSU
Pine nut kalguksu. I love it.
I come eat it every week. Gapyeong is famous for it.
Take a nap. I hear you've been pulling many all-nighters.
I'm okay.
I have trouble falling asleep in someone else's car anyway.
Come on. I'll drive gently.
Try and get some sleep…
I ran a business like this myself when I was young.
I had to beg for money day in, day out.
It was nerve-racking.
DISPLAY OFF
Did I fall asleep? No way.
You did. You completely passed out
in someone else's car.
Put on these sandals. Your shoes are covered in cow dung.
Thank you so much.
This is embarrassing.
Gosh. Thank you.
Put them on.
Thank you.
Why don't you just exclude voice-processing technology?
Combining it with image recognition is difficult and expensive.
It'd be easier without it.
But Do-san is going to pull it off.
So am I.
I knew you'd say that.
Also, I have a favor to ask you.
Please don't tell
Do-san about this.
I want him to focus on his work without worrying about money.
That's very touching.
-All right. -Oh, my.
See you.
-Is this it? This one? -Yes.
-Guys, let's do this! -Here we go!
Where did my scrunchie go?
-Dal-mi is here! -Come here!
-Come! -What took you so long?
Welcome back.
Ms. Seo… What?
The final test went very well.
Really? How was the recognition rate?
It was over 97 percent. Everyone was satisfied.
How did it go for you?
Everyone was enthusiastic.
I should have taken more business cards. Everyone asked for one.
I knew it. Who wouldn't love this service?
-Right. -Now that everyone's here,
I'll publish the app on the store.
Wait! Why don't we make a bet?
Guess how many times our app will be downloaded in a week.
Okay, deal. The winner treats everyone.
I'll start small and guess our DAU will be 100.
If I win, I'll buy tangsuyuk.
Come on. 100 is too small.
I say 1,000.
If I win, I'll buy you samgyeopsal.
If your DAU is 1,000, it costs 30 million. If it's 10,000, then 300 million.
Come on. Be ambitious, guys.
That's too small. We should aim for at least 10,000.
The more users, the higher the cost. Who'd invest in this?
No, it's okay.
We can do it.
-Yes, we can do it! -We can do it!
We can do this! 1, 2, 3…
-Chul-san… -Yong-san…
Gosh, it never works.
If our DAU is over 1,000, I'll treat you guys
to ten hours of karaoke!
-Yes! -Let's do it!
Let's make this work.
Wait, should we upload it to the global market?
Our app supports English.
Come on. Don't you think it's too early to do that?
Why? It doesn't cost anything to upload it.
Do it.
She's right. Our dream is to go global. Do it.
Okay. Then I'll upload it.
Let's go! Okay.
SELECT A FILE TO UPLOAD
-Here we go! Karaoke! -Drum roll.
-It's uploading! -Here we go.
Lord, please.
Our DAU has to be lower than 1,000.
I know how selfish my prayer is.
But I'm desperate.
So please, the DAU of NoonGil
has to be lower than 1,000.
Please.
Hey, what are you praying for so desperately?
It's a secret.
Lord.
I trust you.
Grandma, do Catholics not use talismans? To make their prayers more effective?
What? Why don't you just go to a shaman?
I wish there were.
-Where did the digital door lock go? -It broke, so I had it replaced.
Hey, take this key.
It's a hassle to carry around keys.
Why go back to the old ways?
-What? -Technology is so convenient and awesome.
Let's just get another digital door lock.
I don't like technology. It makes old people feel left out.
Why? Let me show you how great it is.
What are you doing?
Samsan Tech has finally launched a service.
-What service? -It's called NoonGil.
An app for the visually impaired.
Why the visually impaired out of the blue?
I thought you were working on AI or something.
This app uses AI.
It was Do-san's idea.
-It was Do-san's idea? -Yes.
Using voice and image recognition technology,
this app becomes the eyes for the visually impaired.
What? There's not much feedback yet.
Feedback?
What's that?
The users' opinions about our service.
There you go.
Grandma, call Yeong-sil's name and ask a question.
-Here? -Yes.
Yeong-sil.
Who is the person in front of me?
A woman in her 20s is smiling.
So? Isn't it cool?
Yes, it is pretty cool.
Yeong-sil.
Can you read this Bible passage for me?
"The fig tree ripens her green figs.
The blossoming vines give out their fragrance.
Arise, my love, and come.
My beautiful one, come with me.
My dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the hiding places of the mountainside,
show me your face,
let me hear your voice,
for your voice is sweet
and your face is lovely."
DOWNLOAD ANALYTICS
Stop refreshing the page.
That doesn't change the number of downloads.
I just can't believe it.
There haven't even been ten downloads.
We should be happy if our DAU reaches 20.
I wonder what the problem is.
This is really upsetting.
But you don't look upset at all.
It's all about marketing.
Hey.
Well? Would you like help from a marketing expert?
Do you have any ideas?
I can always come up with one.
So he doesn't have any.
-That's right. -Exactly.
Guys, cheer up.
I'll treat you all to some chicken.
Cheer up! Let's go have some chicken.
It's my treat. Let's go.
Come on, let's go.
It's okay. We can do this, right?
Let's have some chicken. It's my treat.
Let's go. Chicken!
-Why are you crying? -Come on.
-Order everything. -Up to this point, I thought
-Come on. -my prayer had been answered.
Hello!
But as usual, Lord answered my prayer…
-What brings you here at this hour? -I'm looking for something.
-Hey. -Hello.
The picture of Do-san and Park Chan-ho. Is it here?
Yes, but why do you need that?
…in a peculiar way.
Where's the picture?
There it is.
What are you doing?
It's viral marketing.
Let's drink.

Excuse me. Spicy fried chicken and a pitcher of beer, please.
Coming up.
The beer tastes bitter today.
Why? It tastes sweet to me.
While we were eating fried chicken…
We have one more download now.
That's incredible.
It's okay. Let's drink.
Are you crying?
The beer tastes spicy today.
Unbelievably, our app was downloaded…
2 NEW MESSAGES FROM NAM CHEON-HO
DO YOU REMEMBER THIS PICTURE?
THE KID IS NOW ALL GROWN UP AND LAUNCHED A START-UP.
"NoonGil"?
NOONGIL
VIEW
…halfway around the world in LA
by the baseball legend, Park Chan-ho.
Oh, my. Isn't the wind so refreshing?
Excuse me. Can you close the window?
Dal-mi, I'm sorry, but can you close the window?
Why? Isn't it so nice?
-Well… -Fine.
I'll open it just this much.
Just this much. Are you happy now?
It smells like summer.
I'm sorry.
Oh, my.
Did she get drunk and rub her nose on the bus window again?
You know about that?
Of course. When she sobers up,
she'll throw a tantrum saying that someone drew on her face.
Really?
Here.
What's this?
Now, what is that called again? NoonGil?
You did a great job.
I heard that it was your idea.
Well, yes.
I tried using the app and wrote some review.
That's called feedback, right?
I should have told you beforehand.
Thank you.
I think it'll be
a great help to me in the future.
Fifteen years ago,
when Ji-pyeong and I first started writing those letters,
we decided to go by your name after seeing a picture of you
in the newspaper.
The newspaper? Do you mean the article about the Mathematical Olympiad?
In the picture,
your eyes looked so kind and you looked so smart.
That's why we chose your name.
I turned out to be disappointing, didn't I?
No, you turned out to be amazing. Really amazing.
You turned out great.
Who is it?
Who drew on my face again?
Here it comes. You should go.
-Should I go check on her? -It's started. Go home.
-But… -It's just like I told you.
Do-san!
Do-san, wake up.
-What? -You're on TV.
I'm on TV?
Come on.
A very long time ago,
- I met a little boy named Nam Do-san. -Turn on the TV right now.
-What's going on? -I got a message
-Are you watching it? -that the boy is now grown up
and launched a start-up.
-Chan-ho? Yes, we're very close. -I wanted to help
-He's talking about it right now. -the young entrepreneur…
Apparently, my nephew sent a message to Park Chan-ho.
And he was kind enough to do the interview and everything.
I hope he doesn't think we were expecting it.
Using image recognition technology,
-I'm getting another call. -the app tells the user
what it sees.
-Hello, Mr. Cha. -For example, if I ask,
-"Yeong-sil, what's in front of me?" -Yes, Samsan Tech is
-Three men are holding cameras. -Do-san's company.
-Did you see that? -No, it's not going public yet.
-I tried using the app, too. -But it might happen soon.
What? You don't have to take out loans to buy their stocks!
I hope the young man never gives up hope
and continues to run his start-up successfully.
That's why I'm doing this interview.
-What? -I tried using the app, too.
I'm sure this app can give new hope
-to the visually impaired. -Park Chan-ho? How come?
He's talking about NoonGil? How?
Go, Samsan Tech! Go, Nam Do-san!
How come Park Chan-ho…
-Yes! -Yes!
We're Samsan Tech! We made NoonGil!
Thank you!
Our DAU reached 10,000!
Great work, Ms. Seo.
Yes!
The global market was a great call. 5,000 downloads came from India.
Our DAU might reach 30,000 soon at this rate.
If our DAU reaches 30,000,
it costs one billion won a year.
Come! I'll treat you to ten hours of karaoke.
-Okay. -Let's go.
Let's go, guys!
Thank you!
-Hello? -Is this Mr. Nam Do-san?
-Yes, speaking. -I'm calling from Yangjin Police Station.
What?
Police station?
I'm not really laughing
I'm not really walking
In memories of you
I shed tears and wait for you…
Why that song on a happy day like this?
Is she being ironic?
We were so happy
Since you left, my heart…
Well…
Should we sing a duet?
How about "Nagging"? "Don't stay out late…"
Let's sing a duet.
Darkness finds me again
The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.
Why isn't Do-san picking up?
You're being accused of property damage and threatening
by Won Du-jeong, chairman of Morning Group.
-Okay. -The damage is small.
Settle with the plaintiff, and you'll be excused.
Can you do that?
What if we can't reach an agreement?
The case will be sent to the prosecution.
Worst case scenario is you go on trial.
That'll be a headache.
Going down. First floor.
Doors closing.
LIST OF DOMESTIC CSR TEAMS
What do I do?
I really don't want to ask Morning Group for help.
Should we just give up on NoonGil?
What happened? We've been trying to reach you all day.
Where were you?
I had to go somewhere.
What's that?
It's a notebook of feedback on NoonGil.
She wants you to have it.
Really? Me?
This is so detailed.
Her handwriting reminds me of my grandma.
So she hasn't lost her vision completely but has low vision?
Oh, she's losing her vision little by little.
This makes me feel so proud.
Who is this lady? I'd love to meet her.
Dal-mi.
This may shock you.
I feel so bad for Grandma…
Grandma…
Thanks, Do-san.
For what?
For everything.
For developing NoonGil
and
telling me the truth
before it's too late.
Why can't I stop crying?
Dal-mi.
Your grandma said
she wanted to see your pretty smile
for a long time.
So put on a smile.
Does it show that I cried?
Yes, a little.
Actually, a lot.
-Really? -Yes.
That's not good.
I don't want it to show.
What should I do? I'm a mess.
-Do I look okay now? -Yes.
Here, too.
-Here? -Yes.
Hey, you're home. Did you have dinner?
I did. Give that to me. I'll clip your nails.
Forget it. I can do it.
Give it here. I'll do it.
What is this? You're a mess.
Grandma.
I'll work hard on NoonGil.
What?
I'll work hard
so that…
things aren't too uncomfortable for you.
I promise.
Dal-mi.
Just for today…
Just for today, let me cry.
Starting tomorrow, I'll always smile.
So…
Your nose is running.
Oh, my. My sweetie.
WE SUPPORT THE DREAMS OF OUR YOUTH
I wonder
if Chairman Won has arrived.
He's probably in the waiting room.
"Chairman Won"? Why are you referring to him so politely today?
I need to scrape up
what little respect I have for him.
-Do you think I can meet him? -I doubt it.
After making such a scene… He probably filed a restraining order.
Can you come with me, then?
I'm sure he'd let you in.
Me? Why should I?
Because…
I'm going to your father
to beg for his forgiveness.
"Beg"?
What is this all about?
Don't you have any pride?
I'm on the edge of a precipice now.
I couldn't care less about my pride.
Take me to him.
Watch me make a complete fool of myself.
Follow me.
It's been a while. I'd like to see my father.
Please go in.
I can do this.
Do-san.
Dal-mi.
This is great. Do you want to beg next to him?
What are you doing?
It seems like she doesn't know.
I filed charges against him for property damage and threats.
If he fails to settle with me, he'll be convicted. What can he do?
He has to beg.
Ms. Seo, what brings you here?
I'd like to ask Morning Group
to provide CSR funding for our service, NoonGil.
My gosh.
You're more shameless than I thought.
Hold on.
All right. CSR funding?
I'll think about it.
Father.
If the both of you get down on your knees.
Father.
I'd like to teach these young entrepreneurs
that bravado doesn't work in this world, which you already know.
This will teach them the price
of not watching your mouth when your pockets are empty, right?
You never know what might happen.
Exactly. There's no telling what might happen.
That's why preparation matters.
Well, I don't know much about technology.
-If you'll excuse me… -Are you leaving, sir?
Be good to them. I've been eyeing them since the hackathon.
The proposal shows you how talented they are.
Are you meeting with Mr. Won?
Record the meeting, just in case.
Come by my office later.
See you.
VOICE RECORDING
Let's all sit down.
So you're In-jae's little sister, right?
-Yes. -Since I'm older than In-jae,
I'll consider you my little sister and talk comfortably.
I know you guys came here with great ambitions.
But throw them away.
We already hired engineers.
What we need are part-timers to do simple labor.
That's why you're here.
You recorded that?
There's more. Keep listening.
It may look like manual labor, but it'll be a good experience.
What makes youth so special? Your passion!
We want to buy your passion.
You promised to pay 50 million won for the solution alone.
I checked your website, and it looks pretty bare.
You can put our logo on your main page. "Morning Group's strategic partner."
That's worth a lot more than 50 million won.
I see many young people outside.
There are even reporters, thanks to the fascinating topic.
Once they hear this, they'll churn out many interesting articles.
"Chairman Won Du-jeong, the Supporter of Youths' Dreams,
Turns Out to Be the Exploiter of Youths."
Isn't that a killer headline?
So? Are you going to hand that over to the reporters?
Reporters have the power to ruin a company's image.
And once your image is ruined, it takes time and money to restore it.
Wouldn't this be the perfect use
of Morning Group's CSR budget?
Are you blackmailing me now?
Let's say I'm negotiating with you. That sounds better.
Have you lost your mind?
To prevent your company from falling,
fund NoonGil with Morning Group's CSR budget.
That sly bitch…
Don't do anything.
Also,
settle with Do-san.
Silicon Valley is known for its "Pay-It-Forward" culture.
It means that successful entrepreneurs
help young entrepreneurs unconditionally.
As a successful entrepreneur,
I'd like to put the "Pay-It-Forward" spirit into action today.
This year's Morning Group CSR funding goes to
NoonGil by Samsan Tech of the 12th Sand Box residency program.
We plan to support NoonGil,
a companion to the visually impaired,
as much as we can.
That's great!
Nice!
Well…
-What's this? -Takeout pine nut kalguksu from Gapyeong.
They said they don't do takeout, but I insisted.
-I hope it tastes good. -Why…
You travel all the way to Gapyeong to eat this.
It's a token of gratitude for helping us fund NoonGil
and also a belated birthday present.
Here. I wrote down the instructions.
Okay.
-See you. -Wait, Ms. Seo.
Well… Here.
I touched up your business plan.
You should start preparing for Demo Day.
Thank you.
I'll get going. Enjoy.
Okay, thank you. I'm sure it'll taste good.
Thanks.
So I have to cook it myself?
Gosh, the comments are so detailed.
His handwriting is really neat.
This handwriting… It looks really familiar.
His handwriting looks exactly like Do-san's.
Yes, it's the same as Do-san's.
My birthday.
The same handwriting
and the same birthday?
How?
COOK NOODLES IN BOILING WATER FOR 2 MINUTES
I don't see any pine nuts,
but it tastes like pine nuts.
This is…
My gosh.
SPECIAL THANKS TO BAE HAE-SUN
I'm glad I ran into you.
Give this to Ms. Seo.
-Why do you have this? -I found it while cleaning the car.
Did Dal-mi get in your car?
Yes.
-Why? -Well…
She said I shouldn't tell you.
See you.
Oh, your arms. Be careful. Bye.
I'm glad I ran into you. Give this to Ms. Seo.
-Why do you have this? -I found it while cleaning the car.
Are you sure it's Dal-mi's, not another girl's?
What?
It can't be another girl's.
-You've never had a girlfriend? -Why are you asking such a thing?
You live close by. Consider riding a bike instead.
For the environment and your health, okay?
Bye.
What?
Hey…
Darn it.
He's so annoying.
I'm so happy
it scares me a little.
I have only one thing and that's everything to me.
-You're taking it away from me? -Then let's change.
-You little punk. -I keep disappointing you
and it has been hard for me too.
Don't run.
You are bigger than the moon.
I keep thinking about her, I want her and it feels so unfair.
Why did you lie?
I didn't want you to cry.
I didn't want you to cry like you are now.
