How do you feel today?
Do you admit the allegations
of drug abuse?
What's your relationship
with the second son of Jeguk Group?
Do you still plead innocent?
- Please give us a word.
- How do you feel right now?
Do you admit to the charges?
Please tell us how you feel.
Now, let's see how some of
the forgotten celebrities are doing.
- Who are we talking about today?
- Today, we'll be looking into
a celebrity who was not only
popular in Korea,
but also popular in entire Asia
for her pure image.
She's Oh Yoon-seo.
My goodness, I always wondered
what she was up to these days.
How is she doing? Do you know?
I heard that she's taking a hiatus
and that she's waiting
for the next project to come along.
But she was involved in a drug scandal.
You think she can start acting again?
I doubt that.
First of all, her drug test
came out negative,
and she was found not guilty in court.
So it's possible for her
to make a comeback.
- But she has a bad reputation now.
- Exactly.
The most important thing is that
she's forgotten now.
- Yes.
- That's right.
Currently speaking,
I'm more popular than she is.
No, Yoon-seo!
Yoon-seo, don't! Don't do this!
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
I get you're having a hard time,
but this is wrong.
Don't get me wrong. I understand
how difficult things are for you.
Your reputation hit rock bottom because
you were involved in that darn scandal.
You're broke after paying
the cancellation fee.
And you have so many anti-fan websites.
So what if you're innocent?
Your life's already become a mess.
You have no friend to talk to
or a boyfriend to lean on.
You play, eat, and sleep alone,
and you even gained weight.
So I totally understand
why you'd get depressed.
But you see, this is still not right.
This is just too drastic, Yoon-seo.
What...
- Hey, they're vitamins.
- Vitamins?
What's wrong with you?
How are these vitamins?
MULTIVITAMIN
- They are vitamins.
- Yes.
Why did you take so many?
It tells you to take 30 pills.
Listen to me, Yoon-seo.
You are way too naive.
It means there are 30 pills
inside this bottle.
Look here.
It tells you to take one pill a day.
No wonder.
I was about to get really full.
It does say take one pill.
I see.
Look at the mess.
By the way, what brings you here today?
Oh, right.
Hey, do you remember
the headshot you took last week?
You came out so beautiful.
I brought a few of them
because you looked so pretty.
What's the point of taking headshots
when no one's giving me any work?
Gosh, Hyeok-jun.
Are you sure I can make a comeback?
Of course.
Just wait a little more.
I'm sure you'll get cast
as the main character--
More like the main character's aunt.
- Do you know how old I am?
- Numbers don't matter.
What matters is how old you actually look.
To be honest,
if you were a little bit shorter,
I'd even cast you as a child actress.
You look really young.
A child actress is a bit too much.
I didn't want it to get wrinkled,
so I put it in between these papers.
LOVE HURTS
What's this? Isn't this a script?
Was this meant to be a surprise?
The headshot was an excuse, wasn't it?
You're actually here to give me
a script, aren't you?
No. I mean,
I didn't exactly mean "No." But...
Who's the writer? What's it about?
It's none of your business.
What's that supposed to mean?
I guess it wasn't meant for me.
Well...
Yoon-seo.
Okay, I get it's not mine.
You don't have to hide it.
What are you talking about?
I wasn't hiding it.
Forget it. I'm not even interested.
Hey! Wait! Yoon-seo!
Wait! Yoon-seo, wait!
Yoon-seo!
My gosh, it's a script
written by Lee Se-jin.
LOVE HURTS
"Love Hurts."
"A professional merger
and acquisitions attorney
goes to the Middle East on vacation
and ends up falling in love
with a military judicial officer."
It already sounds so fun.
THE ARRIVAL HALL
OF A MIDDLE EASTERN AIRPORT
You dropped this.
"My gosh. Thank you.
I hate being clumsy like this."
I hate women who are clumsy too.
Still, I've never seen someone
look this cute...
"While being so."
Are you kidding me? My gosh.
"The female lead is captured
by terrorists.
She trembles in fear,
but just then, the male lead arrives."
Jeong-do!
I'm sorry
for putting you in this kind of danger.
"You shouldn't have come.
I'm not worth it.
Coming for me could cost you your life."
I am terrified of losing you
more than
losing my own life.
Su-a!
"I'm sorry
for waiting this long to say it.
I love you."
Su-a!
This is it.
Hyeok-jun, I just got goosebumps.
Goosebumps?
The female lead in this series
is perfect for me.
You won't believe the similarities.
How so? In what way?
Hear me out.
The female lead is pure and innocent,
and that's how I am.
Also,
she's an attorney,
and I majored in law.
Not this one though. It's for Min-ji.
Kim Min-ji?
No, of course not!
- She won't do it anyway.
- Why not?
Who is she to reject a series
written by Lee Se-jin?
That's not why she'll turn it down.
Eighty percent of the series
will be shot abroad.
No one, including Min-ji,
will want to live abroad for months.
That's why casting has been difficult.
Also, due to the production costs,
no one wants to invest in it.
From what I can see,
this series will end up
not being developed.
That's why I should do it.
Why do you think that?
Time is what I have the most.
I could even stay abroad
for the entire series.
Also, the production cost is high,
so they'll like it
if I asked for a lower payment.
Leave it to me.
I'll contact Ms. Lee myself.
We became friends
after filming a show together once.
Yoon-seo?
Hold on a second. Wait.
Hush.
Hello? Ms. Lee?
It's me, Yoon-seo.
Yoon-seo,
I understand clearly
what you're trying to say,
but I feel burdened taking on a project
with you in it.
Your scandal was quite a big one.
Ms. Lee, you know it's not true.
The truth doesn't matter in this case.
The viewers just don't want
to see you anymore.
If I'm honest with you,
you're not exactly
a gifted actress either.
Ms. Lee, even though
my acting didn't send chills
up and down anyone's spines,
my shows always had good ratings.
Above all, I'm confident
that I'll create quite the buzz.
I guess that's true
thanks to your bad acting.
Ms. Lee, please believe in me
just this once.
I really want to star in this series.
Hyeok-jun.
Ms. Lee, please give her a chance.
We promise to give her
more acting lessons.
I'll allow it on one condition.
On one condition?
No! I won't do it!
Get field experience
at an actual law firm?
How does that make sense?
It does.
I once read an interview
of a stage actor once.
To play a student
studying for the state exam,
he lived in student housing.
It was so that he could learn how students
talk, dress, and do habitually.
Just consider this
as an acting class and...
An acting class?
Hyeok-jun, I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
I've been an actress for 15 years.
- Don't you agree, Mr. Yeon?
- That's right, you're Oh Yoon-seo.
I had to reflect on myself quietly
even though I was innocent.
Instead of making a dazzling comeback,
I can't believe
I must give in to her demands!
- Don't you agree, Mr. Yeon?
- I guess you're right.
Besides, I didn't come this far
on my acting skills.
It was due to my good looks,
so why is she expecting
good acting from me now?
Don't you agree, Mr. Yeon?
Yes, you're famous for your bad acting.
What?
Wait, hold on.
I didn't mean it like that.
I just mean that...
I can't believe Ms. Lee!
How dare she order Yoon-seo
to get field experience?
Tell her that Yoon-seo
will decline the series.
Really? But sir...
This may be Yoon-seo's last chance.
- My last chance?
- So what if it is?
She doesn't want to do it.
Still, it's the first series
she was offered in two years.
If she turns this down,
she may have to wait two more.
- Two more years?
- Good riddance, then.
Think of this as the Olympics.
She can work every four years.
What can we do when she's not willing?
I...
- I never said I wasn't willing at all.
- Whatever.
Call Ms. Lee and yell at her
until her ears bleed.
Refuse her offer and hang up.
Gosh, all right.
Wait!
What is it?
Well...
I'll do it.
What did you say?
I'll give the field education a try.
Wait, Yoon-seo.
You're Oh Yoon-seo, a top Korean actress.
You're the angel of the Korean Wave.
How do you expect to work for three months
at a law firm?
Why can't I do it?
This isn't a decision
you should easily make.
It wasn't easy at all.
Without this project,
I know I won't be able to make a comeback.
Besides, I can't forever
be known for my bad acting.
Fine. If you really insist,
I will make the call for you.
Let's see.
Hold on. Just a second.
You'd better not ask me
to cancel this later.
Of course. I will never do that.
Deal.
REPRESENTATIVE ATTORNEY, YEON JUN-GYU
On-the-job training?
Do you think a law firm is
some acting academy?
This is a place where
we handle the sacred law.
If you called to ask a ridiculous
favor like that, I'm hanging up.
- Oh Yoon-seo will do it.
- I don't care what kind of Yoon-seo it is.
Tell her to come to work
starting tomorrow.
I'll team her up with
the most competent attorney in here.
Do you understand?
I'm doing this because it's you.
No need to thank me.
I'm more thankful.
My goddess, your goddess,
the universe's goddess!
It's the goddess, Oh Yoon-seo.
Gosh, I can't believe it.
Oh Yoon-seo is coming.
Did you hear that?
Oh Yoon-seo is coming to our law firm.
Did you hear that? Oh Yoon-seo is
coming to work starting tomorrow.
Gosh, this is awesome. Oh Yoon-seo.
My Oh Yoon-seo.
Hello. I'm the CEO of
Always Law Firm, Yeon Jun-gyu.
It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you, Ms. Oh.
It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you, Ms. Oh.
Why do I look so awkward?
Maybe it's because
I'm holding out the same hand.
I don't have time for this.
Let's see.
All right, then.
Who should I match up with her?
An expert in civil lawsuits?
Dan Mun-hui?
I just borrowed that money temporarily.
I couldn't pay him back
because I don't have the money.
That's right. But then,
it's true that you own a building
in Gangnam, right?
Do you know how much money
it takes to raise children?
- You don't have children, right?
- No.
Anyway, I hope you do a good job.
Okay. I will try my best
and make it look like you're not
a man without a conscience.
What? Did you just say
I don't have a conscience?
- No.
- She's timid.
That's what you just said.
- What did you just say?
- She's too timid.
She won't be helpful to Ms. Oh at all.
- Unbelievable.
- That's not true, sir.
What did you just say?
Or an expert in divorce lawsuits,
Choe Yun-hyeok?
Even if you are attributable
for causing the divorce,
you can still receive
a part of your husband's assets.
Don't worry.
Here you go.
I will trust you.
We get married in order to be happy,
but we also get divorced
in order to be happy too.
Mr. Choe, are you married?
No way.
Excuse me.
Yes, Mother.
What is it?
What do you mean, strange?
It's because I'm working.
The herbal tonic? Of course I had it, Mom.
No, not him. Goodness, never.
Gosh. Never.
I can't make her work
under that mama's boy.
I know. Mama's boys are
so tiring to be around.
I know.
You startled me.
- When did you come?
- Just now.
By the way, who is Yoon-seo?
It's no one. Don't mind.
Or Attorney Kwon Jung-rok?
ETRI, the most reputable
organization in Korea,
has acknowledged the claims
of the defendant.
About the information deemed as
confidential by the prosecution,
it has submitted a report denying
the nature and economic usefulness
of the said content.
Therefore, the information
cannot be seen as confidential.
I request you to find
the defendant not guilty.
According to the
Unfair Competition Prevention
and Trade Secret Protection Act,
I find the defendant not guilty.
Although he's a bit feisty,
he's the star of our law firm.
He wins the most cases.
Are you going to go with Mr. Kwon?
Shall I?
Oh, gosh.
So you've finally made up your mind
to go with Mr. Kwon.
- Do you even know what it's about?
- No.
THE SUPREME COURT OF KOREA
Do you have something to say to me?
It's been decided. Congratulations.
What do you mean?
Why don't you want to do it?
Do I really have to explain?
Of course you should.
How would I know if you don't?
I'm going to hire a secretary for you.
And she's a goddess of the Korean Wave.
What's wrong with that?
Is working at a law firm a joke?
How could I trust someone
who has never worked in this field?
She studied law in college.
You didn't know that, did you?
She studied until the first semester
of freshman year, but still.
First semester of freshman year...
It means she was just admitted,
- and she barely knows anything.
- Right.
- You should help her learn more.
- Why should I...
Let's drop the subject. Excuse me.
Jung-rok.
Mr. Kwon.
Please think about it again.
I told you.
My cousin is the CEO
of Oh Yoon-seo's agency.
He asked me for a favor desperately.
To let her work as a secretary
for just three months.
He raised her like his own child,
and her career has been ruined.
How upset would he be?
He tried desperately in order to help her,
and eventually ended up asking me.
Anyway, work with her
for just three months,
and teach her about this field.
I know you're busy,
but you're the only one
I can trust for this job.
No.
If you really can't, I understand.
Five years ago...
I don't know why I was so nosy.
- Mr. Yeon.
- Yes, what?
How long will you keep bringing that up?
Continuously.
Until Yoon-seo comes to work.
Let's sit down and think about it.
I'm not asking you to do this for free.
I'll double your incentive.
And most importantly,
I will help you out often.
Your first impression is important.
You shouldn't look too flashy
or too ordinary.
You can't look like
a failed celebrity though.
A failed celebrity?
I meant a trendy celebrity.
I'm worried you may look too trendy.
That looks pretty.
Yoon-seo, are you sure you'll be
able to do this on your own?
Don't worry.
Do you think I'm a little kid?
I know, but I'm always worried about you.
And did you hear what Mr. Yeon said?
That he can't support me with anything?
That's fine. I can do this alone.
You can't do it alone.
You can't even go to the bank alone.
Who goes to banks these days?
Everyone uses apps.
- You can't even drive.
- I have a license.
You can't even eat alone.
How could I eat alone?
By the way, you worry too much.
People will line up to eat with me anyway.
What's to worry about?
- I guess so.
- Yes.
I don't want to wear this.
- Good morning.
- Hello.
What is that excessive outfit?
Did you go shopping
because a celebrity is coming?
- I had this at home.
- What are those flowers?
I had them at home.
We're expecting a newcomer,
and we should welcome her.
I didn't get any flowers
on my first day of work.
Really?
Anyway, keep in mind not to tell anyone
that Ms. Oh's working here.
And don't do anything
to make her feel uncomfortable.
For example, don't ask her for photos
or autographs.
Don't overreact out of excitement
and just act normal.
Stay comfortable and natural.
Do you all understand?
You're the one who's overreacting
and seems the most excited.
- Really?
- He's here.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hi, Mr. Kwon.
When Ms. Oh arrives later,
please act normal.
Be nice to her like you normally are.
Gosh, he's so cold.
Ms. Oh should be here by now.
Let's all act normal.
OH YOON-SEO
OH YOON-SEO, OH JIN-SIM
Just think of it comfortably.
It's kind of like hiring an intern.
You just need to show her
how we run things in our firm.
I'll do it on one condition.
Sure. Whatever you need.
If she says she wants to quit,
please don't stop her.
Okay.
She's late on her first day.
I wonder if I should've gone
to pick her up. She's late.
Ms. Oh is here.
She's here. She's here, you guys.
You're all here.
Hello.
I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I look forward to
spending time with you here.
I'll have a lot to learn,
so I hope you'll be patient with me.
Of course, a pretty lady like you
deserves all the patience in the world.
Thank you.
Well, you must be the CEO.
I'm...
the CEO of this law firm.
I'm Yeon Jun-gyu.
I see.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. This is nothing much.
But I got you this with my own money
as a means to welcome you.
My goodness.
Thank you so much.
I didn't know you'd all be so welcoming.
I promise that I'll be
a very hardworking employee.
I'll repay you for your kindness.
My goodness.
It just sounded like an Oscar speech.
Can I ask you
what kind of cosmetics you use?
Your clothes look really expensive.
Thank you.
We should get to work now.
Oh, okay.
What should I do?
Hello, I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
Do you not know who I am?
I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
I came out in a lot of advertisements.
I even modeled for this laptop.
My laptop. Your laptop.
Ssamsong laptop.
Do you really not know who I am?
I also modeled for this sofa.
A sofa is not for sitting down.
A true sofa embraces you.
Acemiss Sofa.
Don't you dare ignore me!
Because I'm no ordinary water.
I'm different.
If you're jealous,
you should drink it too.
When are you going to stop?
I mean,
I was just surprised
to see someone in Korea
not knowing who I am.
Ms. Oh Jin-sim.
My name is Oh Yoon-seo.
There are a few rules I need you
to keep while you work with me.
Number one. Don't be late.
I hate people who are tardy.
Okay.
Number two. Don't work overtime.
I also hate people who aren't capable
of finishing their workload
during working hours.
And the third rule I'd like you
to keep as my secretary...
Wait.
Did you just say "secretary"?
Ever since the scandal,
you haven't had a proper job.
So you figured you should
use your connections
to get a job at a law firm
since you used to major in law.
Isn't that why you're here?
I guess that's the storyline
you guys all agreed on.
Okay, I got it.
Then what should I begin with?
Have you ever worked as a secretary?
Of course not.
Do you know anything
about what goes on in a law firm?
No.
Do you know how to answer a phone?
Of course. I'm really good at that.
I talk on the phone all day.
One time, I even called abroad...
Then we'll begin with that.
Transfer all my calls to my office.
Okay, leave it to me.
I'm a professional at that.
He seems a little cold.
But I'm sure some attorneys
are cold like him.
It might help with my character research.
The previous worker
must've been really competent.
"I hope you enjoy your time
with Attorney Kwon."
OKAY!
Okay!
I'm ready to work as a secretary.
I'll do my best.
Great.
Sir, she must be doing
better than expected.
I guess so.
Make sure you take care of her
until she gets used to her work.
Don't assign a driver. You should
drive her to and from work instead.
Okay. I'm already doing that.
Good job. Also, make sure
no one hears about this.
Yoon-seo's future depends on this,
so stay alert.
Okay. I understand, sir.
What's wrong? Do you feel upset?
No, sir. I just...
I really respect you.
Don't mention the obvious.
But what do you exactly respect about me?
Tell me in detail.
It seems like you treat
your actors like family.
She hasn't earned a penny
for you in two years.
Other agencies would've already
mentioned breach of contract,
so I'm impressed.
You know how humane I am.
Although it's not a good quality
in this field.
Hold on a second.
- What's wrong with this?
- Sorry?
Why are her clothes so tight?
Well, she's been
working up an appetite lately.
- Really? Then put her on a diet.
- Sure.
- Make her lose 10kg.
- Sorry?
Why? Are you against that?
Will you lose it with her?
You're admirable, sir.
PRESIDENT YEON JUN-SEOK, HYEOK-JUN
Personal Assistant Oh, I'm impressed.
I'm amazed.
You look charismatic.
I'm proud of you.
I keep my word, you know.
Hello? This is Always Law Firm.
You reached
Attorney Kwon Jung-rok's office.
Sure.
You wish to speak to him?
Sure.
Gosh...
What is she doing?
Mr. Kwon.
What are you doing?
The phone line is too short
for me to bring it to you.
Yes, this is Kwon Jung-rok.
Sure, I'm aware of it.
I'll send you the related files today.
Please call again
if you have any questions.
Sure. Good day.
I think you need a longer phone line.
Don't you know how to forward calls?
Forward calls?
It's fine. I'll answer the phone
myself from now on.
Ms. Oh Jin-sim, can you copy these for me?
Sure.
How many copies would you like?
Two of each.
If you could turn around,
I'll quickly pick them up.
I'll do this myself too.
Then what should I do?
Just relax at the office.
What should we have for lunch?
Let's have something delicious.
What about ox blood soup?
I'd like some water. Where can I...
Please let me know if you need anything.
Shouldn't you go for lunch?
Let's have sushi at the classy
Japanese restaurant out front.
- What do you think?
- That's a great idea.
They serve incredible raw tuna.
Raw tuna? That sounds delicious.
If only Ms. Oh had joined us.
Tell me about it.
Still, she said she'd wait for Mr. Kwon
since it's her first day at the office.
Isn't she an angel?
It's cold, so let's go.
Isn't the Japanese restaurant
at the intersection?
Hurrah for raw tuna!
I'm reminded of the raw tuna
I had in Hokkaido last winter.
Let's get going, sir.
We'll eat kimchi stew.
Kimchi stew with tuna.
What?
I'm suddenly craving it.
If we're going to have
canned tuna instead,
why don't we have a tuna sandwich?
I know a good place across the street.
Ms. Dan, you have a crush
on the part-timer there, right?
Up until a while ago, it was the son
of the pork rib soup restaurateur.
You used to have that dish every day.
She's quick to fall in love.
One's love should never be static.
Anyway, shall we go then?
Let's go and have kimchi stew with tuna.
Wait for me!
Is it all right for me
to do nothing like this?
Gosh, I'm hungry.
- Mr. Kwon.
- Yes?
It's 20 minutes past lunchtime.
Wait. Already?
Just so you know,
I can't go to crowded restaurants.
So?
I have other plans today.
- You can eat alone today.
- I can't.
- Why not?
- I can't eat alone.
- Why not?
- How on earth could I?
People are still gossiping
about my scandal.
What will they say if they see me
pathetically eating alone?
What's pathetic about it?
I eat alone nearly every day myself.
I'm not you though.
I'm Oh Yoon-seo,
the actress that once took China by storm.
So how could I possibly eat alone?
Then order in.
Did he really leave? Without me?
If Ms. Oh had joined us, we would've had
raw tuna sushi instead.
Doesn't she look
even better in person though?
Seeing a celebrity that
I've only seen on TV
made me think that
I was watching a drama series.
- Mr. Choe, did you know?
- Know what?
We'll be able to tune in again soon.
- Let's watch it together.
- Sir!
- Here, have some tuna.
- Sure.
Isn't it weird though?
Celebrities who aren't on TV much
still go into online streaming
or home shopping.
A personal assistant at a law firm
seems random.
You're right. Why does she
suddenly want an ordinary life?
What could be the reason?
I hear she majored in law.
Maybe she always wanted
to work in this field.
Yes, exactly. That must be it.
That's the reason. What else could it be?
Let's hurry up and eat
before it gets cold.
It's boiling.
I'm so hungry.
I bet there's something to eat here.
There's nothing?
So much for employee benefits.
Do they not even have cookies?
JOB'S TEARS TEA
Maybe I'll start with this.
Gosh, I'm starving.
Is this hot water?
What do you think you're doing?
I'm watering the plants.
Who are you?
I'm Lee Du-seop.
You're scaring me.
No, Mr. Lee.
Hello, are you here as a client?
No, that's not it.
I am...
Oh, you mean you're here
because of a grudge.
That's not it.
Mr. Lee.
- Hi.
- You're here.
- Right.
- Have you had lunch?
Yes, I had.
Ms. Oh, he's our paralegal.
I'm the firm's paralegal, Lee Du-seop.
Hello, I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
Hold on.
Job's tears tea?
This isn't you.
After a meal,
you should have a caramel macchiato.
Thank you.
HEART SUSHI
How on earth could I?
People are still gossiping
about my scandal.
What will they say if they see me
pathetically eating alone?
Mr. Kwon, you haven't had lunch until now?
Oh, this isn't for me.
Everyone is having a talk with Ms. Oh.
It would've been better
if a more experienced worker came
to help your work.
Ms. Yang.
What is this?
This is caramel arigato.
- No...
- Caramel macchiato?
- Yes.
- But what's it for?
Oh, I was about to drink this,
but I suddenly don't want it anymore.
- If you don't want it--
- No, I'll drink it.
It's a waste if you throw it away.
I'm telling you. Because of you,
I almost gave up on my bar exam.
Gosh, is that true?
But I wasn't such a weak man.
I passed the exam,
and now I'm sitting here.
And I became a real man.
I see. You're an impressive man.
My mom always told me this.
That's how I can meet a nice woman.
I think it's finally that moment.
You're here.
Ms. Oh, how about some coffee?
You're all gathered here.
You're here too, Mr. Kwon.
Oh, this is your office.
I had this at home.
Do you want some coffee?
That's okay.
You should all get back to work.
Already?
But I just arrived.
Let's all get to work then.
- Let's go out now.
- Manners...
- maketh man.
- Bye.
Have some coffee.
Excuse me.
What shall I do in the afternoon?
What can you do?
- What?
- Just kill time and go.
There seem to be many people who like you.
You can drink coffee and chat with them.
However, please don't do it in my office.
Hey.
Did I do something wrong?
I waited for you all this time,
and didn't even eat.
You're getting mad at me as soon as
you came, let alone say sorry!
Why are you doing this to me?
Ms. Oh Jin-sim.
I said it's Oh Yoon-seo!
This is a workplace.
- Sorry?
- I don't know what your CEO said,
but this isn't a place where
you can have fun and rest.
If you chose to become
a secretary at this place,
at least you shouldn't be
a nuisance to people
who came here to work sincerely.
I don't want to be a nuisance either.
Since we're on the subject,
I'm not fond of people like you
who take their work frivolously.
Although you're famous enough
to be on TV, this is not that place.
So I hope you can get hold of yourself.
Get hold of myself?
Yes.
I didn't...
I didn't come here to have fun either!
Yet you came dressed like this?
I haven't even started working
properly yet.
How could you judge me
by my outer appearance?
Don't you think you're too biased?
Yes, it is a bias.
Like you said, I know it hasn't been
long enough to judge who you are.
But Ms. Oh Jin-sim,
you should've at least
come to work on time
so I wouldn't have such a bias.
- But that--
- If you really
want to work as my secretary,
change into a proper outfit first.
If not, you can just have fun here
for three months.
Goodness. That guy is so annoying!
Who knew I would be a secretary?
If I knew,
I wouldn't have dressed like this!
Does he think I wanted to be late?
Hyeok-jun told me to go by 10 a.m.
My goodness.
Why is he so rude?
I can't just let this slide.
Yes.
She won't even last a week.
She'll probably say
she wants to give up tomorrow.
Simply put, she's hopeless.
Hopeless?
Yes, hopeless.
We have concrete evidence,
but she keeps denying it.
This is driving me nuts.
She won't be able to deny it for long.
Anyway, thanks for helping out.
We found the evidence thanks to you.
No problem.
By the way, when are you coming
to Seoul? In two days?
- Does Yeo-reum know?
- No.
Not yet.
I see. It's your problem,
so you two should take care of it.
- I have to go to trial.
- Okay, bye.
- Let's have a comeback party soon.
- Okay.
Hey.
Let's have a talk.
I have to go to trial.
- I still have something--
- You may go home at six.
I've never seen such
a cranky man like him.
Me being late?
Being dressed like this?
I understand he may not like it.
He should teach me then!
I went there to learn.
He's displeased when I'm working,
and displeased when I'm resting.
What does he want me to do then?
I know. What on earth does he want?
He's a really strange guy.
- What's his issue?
- I don't know.
I guess he just hates my existence itself.
Hold on. He hates you,
when you're Oh Yoon-seo?
I really can't understand that.
He can hate women,
but how could he hate you?
I know.
Seriously, this is annoying.
I don't need that drama anymore,
so maybe I should just quit.
Come on, Yoon-seo.
Don't be like that.
You should understand,
as a kind and pretty woman.
I can't understand!
My patience has reached its limit.
I can't do this anymore!
That's it! Cut!
Why are you always the one
shouting that out?
It's a cut! Cut!
I'll go and have a word with him.
Who does that lawyer think he is?
- Yes?
- I'm sorry.
We're shooting right now,
so please wait a second.
Okay.
I'm always kind when I'm dating.
Did I say I wanted to date you?
I said I just want to sleep with you.
What on earth? Do they think
they own this road or what?
That must be tough.
Shooting outside in winter is difficult.
Cut! Great job!
- Good job.
- Thank you.
You look pretty, Oh Yoon-seo.
Listen to me for a second.
Let go. Let go of me!
Let go. Let go!
Let go of me. Let go!
Let go!
Hit me.
That would hurt less.
How could you meet another girl
behind my back?
How could you love two people
with one heart?
I made a mistake.
Forgive me.
Forgive you?
Forget it.
I will never forgive you!
It's cold.
Is she not up yet?
Yoon-seo.
Yoon-seo, are you sleeping?
Yoon-seo.
Yoon-seo.
Oh Yoon-seo.
Yoon-seo, get up.
Hey, Hyeok-jun.
Did you sleep here?
- Yes.
- Why?
You never came into this study
since the day you moved.
I was looking for something.
What time is it?
- It's 7:30 a.m.
- What?
Why?
Why did you wake me up now?
You should've come faster.
Oh, gosh!
- What's wrong?
- I'm late!
What's wrong? Didn't she say
she wanted to quit last night?
JOB SCOPE OF LAW FIRM SECRETARY
She researched this all night?
All on her own?
Yoon-seo, are you all right?
Are you really okay?
- Ready!
- See you.
Okay.
Hold on!
Thank you.
Good morning. Hello.
Ms. Oh.
Safe! I'm not late.
- It's not bad.
- Really? Do you think we can win?
I think it's worth fighting for.
What a relief.
Thank you for meeting me.
I know you're busy.
Out of all people, you, Kwon Jung-rok.
Since this is about you, not just anyone.
What? My heart just fluttered.
I doubt that.
Well, you're the one
whose heart should be fluttering.
- What?
- I heard everything.
That a gorgeous woman
came as your secretary.
Who told you that? Jun-gyu?
No, I met Mr. Choe Yun-hyeok
at court yesterday.
He's so consistent,
with that light mouth of his.
He said he'd keep a secret.
Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret.
How does it feel to work with
the goddess of the Korean Wave?
Does it feel like walking
on top of the clouds?
Rather than clouds,
it's like walking on thin ice.
- What?
- It's hard to explain.
- Hello, Ms. Yang.
- Hello.
If you want some coffee,
shall I make you one?
No, it's okay.
I was so shocked when you came here
as a secretary.
I heard you made it into law school,
but were expelled after receiving
academic probation.
Who told you that?
I just decided to quit on my own.
- Really?
- Yes.
By the way, Yoon-seo.
Can I call you by your name
since I'm older?
Sure.
You don't seem to know
since it's your first time as a secretary,
but being a secretary here isn't
just about doing simple chores.
You should consider yourself
as a legal partner of your attorney.
I hope you can work harder,
so you can be of help to Mr. Kwon.
- I got it.
- If you get it--
Ms. Yang, do you know an
American drama called Madman?
- Sorry?
- The directors told me it was fun,
but it was so boring to me.
Anyway, in that drama,
there is a character
who looks exactly like you.
She nags the younger secretaries
to do this and that
just like an older sister.
You're that type of character, aren't you?
Character? What do you mean--
Okay. I got it.
Thank you for your advice.
I'll really try my best.
When the phone rings,
I have to get it and say,
"Yes, I'll connect you to Mr. Kwon."
Then I press the sharp button.
Number two.
After I hang up the phone...
Yes! I cleared connecting calls!
THINGS TO DO IN THE MORNING!
MASTERING CONNECTING CALLS
Okay. Now do what I taught you.
Okay. Let's see.
Choose the paper first.
Two copies.
And then, start!
Gosh, I did it!
Thank you so much.
If you're really thankful,
can you tell me what kind of
cosmetics you use next time?
- I'd really appreciate that.
- Oh, I use...
She didn't even listen.
I've cleared using
the copying machine too.
What's next?
Mr. Kwon.
- Are you on your way from court?
- Yes.
Right. I forgot telling you yesterday.
Tonight is Ms. Oh's welcoming party.
Everyone is coming, so don't be late.
She'll only be staying for three months,
so why must we have one?
All the employees want it.
She's only here for three months,
so they feel like every moment
will be precious.
They're right, you know.
Her situation calls for a grander welcome.
- Will you join us?
- I have a meeting with a client.
I know that,
and I also know it'll end early too.
You won't have drinks anyway.
I will and I might get drunk.
Really?
That's great since
we find you more comfortable
when you're slightly intoxicated.
- What?
- The elevator is here.
Mr. Kwon, good morning.
Yes, hello.
You came in late today.
I had business outside the office.
Oh, I see.
You look very neat and tidy today.
Is that so?
What is it?
- Sorry?
- You seem to have something to say.
Well,
while you were out,
I tidied up your desk a bit.
So many files and documents
were scattered upon it.
A clean desk improves productivity,
so I made sure of that.
Ms. Oh Jin-sim.
It's not Oh Jin-sim. It's Oh Yoon-seo.
Why do something that wasn't asked?
Sorry?
My trial reports have all gotten mixed up.
I can't even spot
those I must review right away.
Oh, no.
If you tell me what they are,
I'll quickly--
Why touch people's things
in the first place?
But, I just thought it needed a clean--
It may have seemed messy to you,
but I had a system.
Did you forget that I told you
to just lounge around?
Do you have to be like that?
I'm trying my best here,
so you don't have to be so mean.
I may not know how to do many things,
but I'm willing to learn, you know.
Whatever. You may leave now.
Hold on.
I just want to ask this.
Do you perhaps...
hate women?
What?
I mean...
Well...
Do you hate women?
I'm sorry I don't match your expectations.
What are you doing?
I...
I like women.
I like them a lot.
I really do.
It's just that...
I'm not at all interested
in you particularly.
You obnoxious jerk!
Don't touch it ever again.
- Bye, then.
- "Bye, then"?
Her looks and personality
are all nothing but perfect.
I'm not drunk at all.
- What?
- That's him right there.
Don't drag me into your business.
Come on. Yeo-reum likes you, you know.
I'm curious about her relationship
with the son of a conglomerate CEO.
It's a fact that she was at the scene.
I'd like to give you a chance
a chance to work properly as my secretary.
Let's start over from the beginning.
Subtitle translation by Yoon-jin Kim
www.mytotal.tv THE BEST TV APP
How do you feel today?
Do you admit the allegations
of drug abuse?
What's your relationship
with the second son of Jeguk Group?
Do you still plead innocent?
- Please give us a word.
- How do you feel right now?
Do you admit to the charges?
Please tell us how you feel.
Now, let's see how some of
the forgotten celebrities are doing.
- Who are we talking about today?
- Today, we'll be looking into
a celebrity who was not only
popular in Korea,
but also popular in entire Asia
for her pure image.
She's Oh Yoon-seo.
My goodness, I always wondered
what she was up to these days.
How is she doing? Do you know?
I heard that she's taking a hiatus
and that she's waiting
for the next project to come along.
But she was involved in a drug scandal.
You think she can start acting again?
I doubt that.
First of all, her drug test
came out negative,
and she was found not guilty in court.
So it's possible for her
to make a comeback.
- But she has a bad reputation now.
- Exactly.
The most important thing is that
she's forgotten now.
- Yes.
- That's right.
Currently speaking,
I'm more popular than she is.
No, Yoon-seo!
Yoon-seo, don't! Don't do this!
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
I get you're having a hard time,
but this is wrong.
Don't get me wrong. I understand
how difficult things are for you.
Your reputation hit rock bottom because
you were involved in that darn scandal.
You're broke after paying
the cancellation fee.
And you have so many anti-fan websites.
So what if you're innocent?
Your life's already become a mess.
You have no friend to talk to
or a boyfriend to lean on.
You play, eat, and sleep alone,
and you even gained weight.
So I totally understand
why you'd get depressed.
But you see, this is still not right.
This is just too drastic, Yoon-seo.
What...
- Hey, they're vitamins.
- Vitamins?
What's wrong with you?
How are these vitamins?
MULTIVITAMIN
- They are vitamins.
- Yes.
Why did you take so many?
It tells you to take 30 pills.
Listen to me, Yoon-seo.
You are way too naive.
It means there are 30 pills
inside this bottle.
Look here.
It tells you to take one pill a day.
No wonder.
I was about to get really full.
It does say take one pill.
I see.
Look at the mess.
By the way, what brings you here today?
Oh, right.
Hey, do you remember
the headshot you took last week?
You came out so beautiful.
I brought a few of them
because you looked so pretty.
What's the point of taking headshots
when no one's giving me any work?
Gosh, Hyeok-jun.
Are you sure I can make a comeback?
Of course.
Just wait a little more.
I'm sure you'll get cast
as the main character--
More like the main character's aunt.
- Do you know how old I am?
- Numbers don't matter.
What matters is how old you actually look.
To be honest,
if you were a little bit shorter,
I'd even cast you as a child actress.
You look really young.
A child actress is a bit too much.
I didn't want it to get wrinkled,
so I put it in between these papers.
LOVE HURTS
What's this? Isn't this a script?
Was this meant to be a surprise?
The headshot was an excuse, wasn't it?
You're actually here to give me
a script, aren't you?
No. I mean,
I didn't exactly mean "No." But...
Who's the writer? What's it about?
It's none of your business.
What's that supposed to mean?
I guess it wasn't meant for me.
Well...
Yoon-seo.
Okay, I get it's not mine.
You don't have to hide it.
What are you talking about?
I wasn't hiding it.
Forget it. I'm not even interested.
Hey! Wait! Yoon-seo!
Wait! Yoon-seo, wait!
Yoon-seo!
My gosh, it's a script
written by Lee Se-jin.
LOVE HURTS
"Love Hurts."
"A professional merger
and acquisitions attorney
goes to the Middle East on vacation
and ends up falling in love
with a military judicial officer."
It already sounds so fun.
THE ARRIVAL HALL
OF A MIDDLE EASTERN AIRPORT
You dropped this.
"My gosh. Thank you.
I hate being clumsy like this."
I hate women who are clumsy too.
Still, I've never seen someone
look this cute...
"While being so."
Are you kidding me? My gosh.
"The female lead is captured
by terrorists.
She trembles in fear,
but just then, the male lead arrives."
Jeong-do!
I'm sorry
for putting you in this kind of danger.
"You shouldn't have come.
I'm not worth it.
Coming for me could cost you your life."
I am terrified of losing you
more than
losing my own life.
Su-a!
"I'm sorry
for waiting this long to say it.
I love you."
Su-a!
This is it.
Hyeok-jun, I just got goosebumps.
Goosebumps?
The female lead in this series
is perfect for me.
You won't believe the similarities.
How so? In what way?
Hear me out.
The female lead is pure and innocent,
and that's how I am.
Also,
she's an attorney,
and I majored in law.
Not this one though. It's for Min-ji.
Kim Min-ji?
No, of course not!
- She won't do it anyway.
- Why not?
Who is she to reject a series
written by Lee Se-jin?
That's not why she'll turn it down.
Eighty percent of the series
will be shot abroad.
No one, including Min-ji,
will want to live abroad for months.
That's why casting has been difficult.
Also, due to the production costs,
no one wants to invest in it.
From what I can see,
this series will end up
not being developed.
That's why I should do it.
Why do you think that?
Time is what I have the most.
I could even stay abroad
for the entire series.
Also, the production cost is high,
so they'll like it
if I asked for a lower payment.
Leave it to me.
I'll contact Ms. Lee myself.
We became friends
after filming a show together once.
Yoon-seo?
Hold on a second. Wait.
Hush.
Hello? Ms. Lee?
It's me, Yoon-seo.
Yoon-seo,
I understand clearly
what you're trying to say,
but I feel burdened taking on a project
with you in it.
Your scandal was quite a big one.
Ms. Lee, you know it's not true.
The truth doesn't matter in this case.
The viewers just don't want
to see you anymore.
If I'm honest with you,
you're not exactly
a gifted actress either.
Ms. Lee, even though
my acting didn't send chills
up and down anyone's spines,
my shows always had good ratings.
Above all, I'm confident
that I'll create quite the buzz.
I guess that's true
thanks to your bad acting.
Ms. Lee, please believe in me
just this once.
I really want to star in this series.
Hyeok-jun.
Ms. Lee, please give her a chance.
We promise to give her
more acting lessons.
I'll allow it on one condition.
On one condition?
No! I won't do it!
Get field experience
at an actual law firm?
How does that make sense?
It does.
I once read an interview
of a stage actor once.
To play a student
studying for the state exam,
he lived in student housing.
It was so that he could learn how students
talk, dress, and do habitually.
Just consider this
as an acting class and...
An acting class?
Hyeok-jun, I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
I've been an actress for 15 years.
- Don't you agree, Mr. Yeon?
- That's right, you're Oh Yoon-seo.
I had to reflect on myself quietly
even though I was innocent.
Instead of making a dazzling comeback,
I can't believe
I must give in to her demands!
- Don't you agree, Mr. Yeon?
- I guess you're right.
Besides, I didn't come this far
on my acting skills.
It was due to my good looks,
so why is she expecting
good acting from me now?
Don't you agree, Mr. Yeon?
Yes, you're famous for your bad acting.
What?
Wait, hold on.
I didn't mean it like that.
I just mean that...
I can't believe Ms. Lee!
How dare she order Yoon-seo
to get field experience?
Tell her that Yoon-seo
will decline the series.
Really? But sir...
This may be Yoon-seo's last chance.
- My last chance?
- So what if it is?
She doesn't want to do it.
Still, it's the first series
she was offered in two years.
If she turns this down,
she may have to wait two more.
- Two more years?
- Good riddance, then.
Think of this as the Olympics.
She can work every four years.
What can we do when she's not willing?
I...
- I never said I wasn't willing at all.
- Whatever.
Call Ms. Lee and yell at her
until her ears bleed.
Refuse her offer and hang up.
Gosh, all right.
Wait!
What is it?
Well...
I'll do it.
What did you say?
I'll give the field education a try.
Wait, Yoon-seo.
You're Oh Yoon-seo, a top Korean actress.
You're the angel of the Korean Wave.
How do you expect to work for three months
at a law firm?
Why can't I do it?
This isn't a decision
you should easily make.
It wasn't easy at all.
Without this project,
I know I won't be able to make a comeback.
Besides, I can't forever
be known for my bad acting.
Fine. If you really insist,
I will make the call for you.
Let's see.
Hold on. Just a second.
You'd better not ask me
to cancel this later.
Of course. I will never do that.
Deal.
REPRESENTATIVE ATTORNEY, YEON JUN-GYU
On-the-job training?
Do you think a law firm is
some acting academy?
This is a place where
we handle the sacred law.
If you called to ask a ridiculous
favor like that, I'm hanging up.
- Oh Yoon-seo will do it.
- I don't care what kind of Yoon-seo it is.
Tell her to come to work
starting tomorrow.
I'll team her up with
the most competent attorney in here.
Do you understand?
I'm doing this because it's you.
No need to thank me.
I'm more thankful.
My goddess, your goddess,
the universe's goddess!
It's the goddess, Oh Yoon-seo.
Gosh, I can't believe it.
Oh Yoon-seo is coming.
Did you hear that?
Oh Yoon-seo is coming to our law firm.
Did you hear that? Oh Yoon-seo is
coming to work starting tomorrow.
Gosh, this is awesome. Oh Yoon-seo.
My Oh Yoon-seo.
Hello. I'm the CEO of
Always Law Firm, Yeon Jun-gyu.
It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you, Ms. Oh.
It's nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you, Ms. Oh.
Why do I look so awkward?
Maybe it's because
I'm holding out the same hand.
I don't have time for this.
Let's see.
All right, then.
Who should I match up with her?
An expert in civil lawsuits?
Dan Mun-hui?
I just borrowed that money temporarily.
I couldn't pay him back
because I don't have the money.
That's right. But then,
it's true that you own a building
in Gangnam, right?
Do you know how much money
it takes to raise children?
- You don't have children, right?
- No.
Anyway, I hope you do a good job.
Okay. I will try my best
and make it look like you're not
a man without a conscience.
What? Did you just say
I don't have a conscience?
- No.
- She's timid.
That's what you just said.
- What did you just say?
- She's too timid.
She won't be helpful to Ms. Oh at all.
- Unbelievable.
- That's not true, sir.
What did you just say?
Or an expert in divorce lawsuits,
Choe Yun-hyeok?
Even if you are attributable
for causing the divorce,
you can still receive
a part of your husband's assets.
Don't worry.
Here you go.
I will trust you.
We get married in order to be happy,
but we also get divorced
in order to be happy too.
Mr. Choe, are you married?
No way.
Excuse me.
Yes, Mother.
What is it?
What do you mean, strange?
It's because I'm working.
The herbal tonic? Of course I had it, Mom.
No, not him. Goodness, never.
Gosh. Never.
I can't make her work
under that mama's boy.
I know. Mama's boys are
so tiring to be around.
I know.
You startled me.
- When did you come?
- Just now.
By the way, who is Yoon-seo?
It's no one. Don't mind.
Or Attorney Kwon Jung-rok?
ETRI, the most reputable
organization in Korea,
has acknowledged the claims
of the defendant.
About the information deemed as
confidential by the prosecution,
it has submitted a report denying
the nature and economic usefulness
of the said content.
Therefore, the information
cannot be seen as confidential.
I request you to find
the defendant not guilty.
According to the
Unfair Competition Prevention
and Trade Secret Protection Act,
I find the defendant not guilty.
Although he's a bit feisty,
he's the star of our law firm.
He wins the most cases.
Are you going to go with Mr. Kwon?
Shall I?
Oh, gosh.
So you've finally made up your mind
to go with Mr. Kwon.
- Do you even know what it's about?
- No.
THE SUPREME COURT OF KOREA
Do you have something to say to me?
It's been decided. Congratulations.
What do you mean?
Why don't you want to do it?
Do I really have to explain?
Of course you should.
How would I know if you don't?
I'm going to hire a secretary for you.
And she's a goddess of the Korean Wave.
What's wrong with that?
Is working at a law firm a joke?
How could I trust someone
who has never worked in this field?
She studied law in college.
You didn't know that, did you?
She studied until the first semester
of freshman year, but still.
First semester of freshman year...
It means she was just admitted,
- and she barely knows anything.
- Right.
- You should help her learn more.
- Why should I...
Let's drop the subject. Excuse me.
Jung-rok.
Mr. Kwon.
Please think about it again.
I told you.
My cousin is the CEO
of Oh Yoon-seo's agency.
He asked me for a favor desperately.
To let her work as a secretary
for just three months.
He raised her like his own child,
and her career has been ruined.
How upset would he be?
He tried desperately in order to help her,
and eventually ended up asking me.
Anyway, work with her
for just three months,
and teach her about this field.
I know you're busy,
but you're the only one
I can trust for this job.
No.
If you really can't, I understand.
Five years ago...
I don't know why I was so nosy.
- Mr. Yeon.
- Yes, what?
How long will you keep bringing that up?
Continuously.
Until Yoon-seo comes to work.
Let's sit down and think about it.
I'm not asking you to do this for free.
I'll double your incentive.
And most importantly,
I will help you out often.
Your first impression is important.
You shouldn't look too flashy
or too ordinary.
You can't look like
a failed celebrity though.
A failed celebrity?
I meant a trendy celebrity.
I'm worried you may look too trendy.
That looks pretty.
Yoon-seo, are you sure you'll be
able to do this on your own?
Don't worry.
Do you think I'm a little kid?
I know, but I'm always worried about you.
And did you hear what Mr. Yeon said?
That he can't support me with anything?
That's fine. I can do this alone.
You can't do it alone.
You can't even go to the bank alone.
Who goes to banks these days?
Everyone uses apps.
- You can't even drive.
- I have a license.
You can't even eat alone.
How could I eat alone?
By the way, you worry too much.
People will line up to eat with me anyway.
What's to worry about?
- I guess so.
- Yes.
I don't want to wear this.
- Good morning.
- Hello.
What is that excessive outfit?
Did you go shopping
because a celebrity is coming?
- I had this at home.
- What are those flowers?
I had them at home.
We're expecting a newcomer,
and we should welcome her.
I didn't get any flowers
on my first day of work.
Really?
Anyway, keep in mind not to tell anyone
that Ms. Oh's working here.
And don't do anything
to make her feel uncomfortable.
For example, don't ask her for photos
or autographs.
Don't overreact out of excitement
and just act normal.
Stay comfortable and natural.
Do you all understand?
You're the one who's overreacting
and seems the most excited.
- Really?
- He's here.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hi, Mr. Kwon.
When Ms. Oh arrives later,
please act normal.
Be nice to her like you normally are.
Gosh, he's so cold.
Ms. Oh should be here by now.
Let's all act normal.
OH YOON-SEO
OH YOON-SEO, OH JIN-SIM
Just think of it comfortably.
It's kind of like hiring an intern.
You just need to show her
how we run things in our firm.
I'll do it on one condition.
Sure. Whatever you need.
If she says she wants to quit,
please don't stop her.
Okay.
She's late on her first day.
I wonder if I should've gone
to pick her up. She's late.
Ms. Oh is here.
She's here. She's here, you guys.
You're all here.
Hello.
I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
- Hello.
- Hello.
I look forward to
spending time with you here.
I'll have a lot to learn,
so I hope you'll be patient with me.
Of course, a pretty lady like you
deserves all the patience in the world.
Thank you.
Well, you must be the CEO.
I'm...
the CEO of this law firm.
I'm Yeon Jun-gyu.
I see.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. This is nothing much.
But I got you this with my own money
as a means to welcome you.
My goodness.
Thank you so much.
I didn't know you'd all be so welcoming.
I promise that I'll be
a very hardworking employee.
I'll repay you for your kindness.
My goodness.
It just sounded like an Oscar speech.
Can I ask you
what kind of cosmetics you use?
Your clothes look really expensive.
Thank you.
We should get to work now.
Oh, okay.
What should I do?
Hello, I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
Do you not know who I am?
I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
I came out in a lot of advertisements.
I even modeled for this laptop.
My laptop. Your laptop.
Ssamsong laptop.
Do you really not know who I am?
I also modeled for this sofa.
A sofa is not for sitting down.
A true sofa embraces you.
Acemiss Sofa.
Don't you dare ignore me!
Because I'm no ordinary water.
I'm different.
If you're jealous,
you should drink it too.
When are you going to stop?
I mean,
I was just surprised
to see someone in Korea
not knowing who I am.
Ms. Oh Jin-sim.
My name is Oh Yoon-seo.
There are a few rules I need you
to keep while you work with me.
Number one. Don't be late.
I hate people who are tardy.
Okay.
Number two. Don't work overtime.
I also hate people who aren't capable
of finishing their workload
during working hours.
And the third rule I'd like you
to keep as my secretary...
Wait.
Did you just say "secretary"?
Ever since the scandal,
you haven't had a proper job.
So you figured you should
use your connections
to get a job at a law firm
since you used to major in law.
Isn't that why you're here?
I guess that's the storyline
you guys all agreed on.
Okay, I got it.
Then what should I begin with?
Have you ever worked as a secretary?
Of course not.
Do you know anything
about what goes on in a law firm?
No.
Do you know how to answer a phone?
Of course. I'm really good at that.
I talk on the phone all day.
One time, I even called abroad...
Then we'll begin with that.
Transfer all my calls to my office.
Okay, leave it to me.
I'm a professional at that.
He seems a little cold.
But I'm sure some attorneys
are cold like him.
It might help with my character research.
The previous worker
must've been really competent.
"I hope you enjoy your time
with Attorney Kwon."
OKAY!
Okay!
I'm ready to work as a secretary.
I'll do my best.
Great.
Sir, she must be doing
better than expected.
I guess so.
Make sure you take care of her
until she gets used to her work.
Don't assign a driver. You should
drive her to and from work instead.
Okay. I'm already doing that.
Good job. Also, make sure
no one hears about this.
Yoon-seo's future depends on this,
so stay alert.
Okay. I understand, sir.
What's wrong? Do you feel upset?
No, sir. I just...
I really respect you.
Don't mention the obvious.
But what do you exactly respect about me?
Tell me in detail.
It seems like you treat
your actors like family.
She hasn't earned a penny
for you in two years.
Other agencies would've already
mentioned breach of contract,
so I'm impressed.
You know how humane I am.
Although it's not a good quality
in this field.
Hold on a second.
- What's wrong with this?
- Sorry?
Why are her clothes so tight?
Well, she's been
working up an appetite lately.
- Really? Then put her on a diet.
- Sure.
- Make her lose 10kg.
- Sorry?
Why? Are you against that?
Will you lose it with her?
You're admirable, sir.
PRESIDENT YEON JUN-SEOK, HYEOK-JUN
Personal Assistant Oh, I'm impressed.
I'm amazed.
You look charismatic.
I'm proud of you.
I keep my word, you know.
Hello? This is Always Law Firm.
You reached
Attorney Kwon Jung-rok's office.
Sure.
You wish to speak to him?
Sure.
Gosh...
What is she doing?
Mr. Kwon.
What are you doing?
The phone line is too short
for me to bring it to you.
Yes, this is Kwon Jung-rok.
Sure, I'm aware of it.
I'll send you the related files today.
Please call again
if you have any questions.
Sure. Good day.
I think you need a longer phone line.
Don't you know how to forward calls?
Forward calls?
It's fine. I'll answer the phone
myself from now on.
Ms. Oh Jin-sim, can you copy these for me?
Sure.
How many copies would you like?
Two of each.
If you could turn around,
I'll quickly pick them up.
I'll do this myself too.
Then what should I do?
Just relax at the office.
What should we have for lunch?
Let's have something delicious.
What about ox blood soup?
I'd like some water. Where can I...
Please let me know if you need anything.
Shouldn't you go for lunch?
Let's have sushi at the classy
Japanese restaurant out front.
- What do you think?
- That's a great idea.
They serve incredible raw tuna.
Raw tuna? That sounds delicious.
If only Ms. Oh had joined us.
Tell me about it.
Still, she said she'd wait for Mr. Kwon
since it's her first day at the office.
Isn't she an angel?
It's cold, so let's go.
Isn't the Japanese restaurant
at the intersection?
Hurrah for raw tuna!
I'm reminded of the raw tuna
I had in Hokkaido last winter.
Let's get going, sir.
We'll eat kimchi stew.
Kimchi stew with tuna.
What?
I'm suddenly craving it.
If we're going to have
canned tuna instead,
why don't we have a tuna sandwich?
I know a good place across the street.
Ms. Dan, you have a crush
on the part-timer there, right?
Up until a while ago, it was the son
of the pork rib soup restaurateur.
You used to have that dish every day.
She's quick to fall in love.
One's love should never be static.
Anyway, shall we go then?
Let's go and have kimchi stew with tuna.
Wait for me!
Is it all right for me
to do nothing like this?
Gosh, I'm hungry.
- Mr. Kwon.
- Yes?
It's 20 minutes past lunchtime.
Wait. Already?
Just so you know,
I can't go to crowded restaurants.
So?
I have other plans today.
- You can eat alone today.
- I can't.
- Why not?
- I can't eat alone.
- Why not?
- How on earth could I?
People are still gossiping
about my scandal.
What will they say if they see me
pathetically eating alone?
What's pathetic about it?
I eat alone nearly every day myself.
I'm not you though.
I'm Oh Yoon-seo,
the actress that once took China by storm.
So how could I possibly eat alone?
Then order in.
Did he really leave? Without me?
If Ms. Oh had joined us, we would've had
raw tuna sushi instead.
Doesn't she look
even better in person though?
Seeing a celebrity that
I've only seen on TV
made me think that
I was watching a drama series.
- Mr. Choe, did you know?
- Know what?
We'll be able to tune in again soon.
- Let's watch it together.
- Sir!
- Here, have some tuna.
- Sure.
Isn't it weird though?
Celebrities who aren't on TV much
still go into online streaming
or home shopping.
A personal assistant at a law firm
seems random.
You're right. Why does she
suddenly want an ordinary life?
What could be the reason?
I hear she majored in law.
Maybe she always wanted
to work in this field.
Yes, exactly. That must be it.
That's the reason. What else could it be?
Let's hurry up and eat
before it gets cold.
It's boiling.
I'm so hungry.
I bet there's something to eat here.
There's nothing?
So much for employee benefits.
Do they not even have cookies?
JOB'S TEARS TEA
Maybe I'll start with this.
Gosh, I'm starving.
Is this hot water?
What do you think you're doing?
I'm watering the plants.
Who are you?
I'm Lee Du-seop.
You're scaring me.
No, Mr. Lee.
Hello, are you here as a client?
No, that's not it.
I am...
Oh, you mean you're here
because of a grudge.
That's not it.
Mr. Lee.
- Hi.
- You're here.
- Right.
- Have you had lunch?
Yes, I had.
Ms. Oh, he's our paralegal.
I'm the firm's paralegal, Lee Du-seop.
Hello, I'm Oh Yoon-seo.
Hold on.
Job's tears tea?
This isn't you.
After a meal,
you should have a caramel macchiato.
Thank you.
HEART SUSHI
How on earth could I?
People are still gossiping
about my scandal.
What will they say if they see me
pathetically eating alone?
Mr. Kwon, you haven't had lunch until now?
Oh, this isn't for me.
Everyone is having a talk with Ms. Oh.
It would've been better
if a more experienced worker came
to help your work.
Ms. Yang.
What is this?
This is caramel arigato.
- No...
- Caramel macchiato?
- Yes.
- But what's it for?
Oh, I was about to drink this,
but I suddenly don't want it anymore.
- If you don't want it--
- No, I'll drink it.
It's a waste if you throw it away.
I'm telling you. Because of you,
I almost gave up on my bar exam.
Gosh, is that true?
But I wasn't such a weak man.
I passed the exam,
and now I'm sitting here.
And I became a real man.
I see. You're an impressive man.
My mom always told me this.
That's how I can meet a nice woman.
I think it's finally that moment.
You're here.
Ms. Oh, how about some coffee?
You're all gathered here.
You're here too, Mr. Kwon.
Oh, this is your office.
I had this at home.
Do you want some coffee?
That's okay.
You should all get back to work.
Already?
But I just arrived.
Let's all get to work then.
- Let's go out now.
- Manners...
- maketh man.
- Bye.
Have some coffee.
Excuse me.
What shall I do in the afternoon?
What can you do?
- What?
- Just kill time and go.
There seem to be many people who like you.
You can drink coffee and chat with them.
However, please don't do it in my office.
Hey.
Did I do something wrong?
I waited for you all this time,
and didn't even eat.
You're getting mad at me as soon as
you came, let alone say sorry!
Why are you doing this to me?
Ms. Oh Jin-sim.
I said it's Oh Yoon-seo!
This is a workplace.
- Sorry?
- I don't know what your CEO said,
but this isn't a place where
you can have fun and rest.
If you chose to become
a secretary at this place,
at least you shouldn't be
a nuisance to people
who came here to work sincerely.
I don't want to be a nuisance either.
Since we're on the subject,
I'm not fond of people like you
who take their work frivolously.
Although you're famous enough
to be on TV, this is not that place.
So I hope you can get hold of yourself.
Get hold of myself?
Yes.
I didn't...
I didn't come here to have fun either!
Yet you came dressed like this?
I haven't even started working
properly yet.
How could you judge me
by my outer appearance?
Don't you think you're too biased?
Yes, it is a bias.
Like you said, I know it hasn't been
long enough to judge who you are.
But Ms. Oh Jin-sim,
you should've at least
come to work on time
so I wouldn't have such a bias.
- But that--
- If you really
want to work as my secretary,
change into a proper outfit first.
If not, you can just have fun here
for three months.
Goodness. That guy is so annoying!
Who knew I would be a secretary?
If I knew,
I wouldn't have dressed like this!
Does he think I wanted to be late?
Hyeok-jun told me to go by 10 a.m.
My goodness.
Why is he so rude?
I can't just let this slide.
Yes.
She won't even last a week.
She'll probably say
she wants to give up tomorrow.
Simply put, she's hopeless.
Hopeless?
Yes, hopeless.
We have concrete evidence,
but she keeps denying it.
This is driving me nuts.
She won't be able to deny it for long.
Anyway, thanks for helping out.
We found the evidence thanks to you.
No problem.
By the way, when are you coming
to Seoul? In two days?
- Does Yeo-reum know?
- No.
Not yet.
I see. It's your problem,
so you two should take care of it.
- I have to go to trial.
- Okay, bye.
- Let's have a comeback party soon.
- Okay.
Hey.
Let's have a talk.
I have to go to trial.
- I still have something--
- You may go home at six.
I've never seen such
a cranky man like him.
Me being late?
Being dressed like this?
I understand he may not like it.
He should teach me then!
I went there to learn.
He's displeased when I'm working,
and displeased when I'm resting.
What does he want me to do then?
I know. What on earth does he want?
He's a really strange guy.
- What's his issue?
- I don't know.
I guess he just hates my existence itself.
Hold on. He hates you,
when you're Oh Yoon-seo?
I really can't understand that.
He can hate women,
but how could he hate you?
I know.
Seriously, this is annoying.
I don't need that drama anymore,
so maybe I should just quit.
Come on, Yoon-seo.
Don't be like that.
You should understand,
as a kind and pretty woman.
I can't understand!
My patience has reached its limit.
I can't do this anymore!
That's it! Cut!
Why are you always the one
shouting that out?
It's a cut! Cut!
I'll go and have a word with him.
Who does that lawyer think he is?
- Yes?
- I'm sorry.
We're shooting right now,
so please wait a second.
Okay.
I'm always kind when I'm dating.
Did I say I wanted to date you?
I said I just want to sleep with you.
What on earth? Do they think
they own this road or what?
That must be tough.
Shooting outside in winter is difficult.
Cut! Great job!
- Good job.
- Thank you.
You look pretty, Oh Yoon-seo.
Listen to me for a second.
Let go. Let go of me!
Let go. Let go!
Let go of me. Let go!
Let go!
Hit me.
That would hurt less.
How could you meet another girl
behind my back?
How could you love two people
with one heart?
I made a mistake.
Forgive me.
Forgive you?
Forget it.
I will never forgive you!
It's cold.
Is she not up yet?
Yoon-seo.
Yoon-seo, are you sleeping?
Yoon-seo.
Yoon-seo.
Oh Yoon-seo.
Yoon-seo, get up.
Hey, Hyeok-jun.
Did you sleep here?
- Yes.
- Why?
You never came into this study
since the day you moved.
I was looking for something.
What time is it?
- It's 7:30 a.m.
- What?
Why?
Why did you wake me up now?
You should've come faster.
Oh, gosh!
- What's wrong?
- I'm late!
What's wrong? Didn't she say
she wanted to quit last night?
JOB SCOPE OF LAW FIRM SECRETARY
She researched this all night?
All on her own?
Yoon-seo, are you all right?
Are you really okay?
- Ready!
- See you.
Okay.
Hold on!
Thank you.
Good morning. Hello.
Ms. Oh.
Safe! I'm not late.
- It's not bad.
- Really? Do you think we can win?
I think it's worth fighting for.
What a relief.
Thank you for meeting me.
I know you're busy.
Out of all people, you, Kwon Jung-rok.
Since this is about you, not just anyone.
What? My heart just fluttered.
I doubt that.
Well, you're the one
whose heart should be fluttering.
- What?
- I heard everything.
That a gorgeous woman
came as your secretary.
Who told you that? Jun-gyu?
No, I met Mr. Choe Yun-hyeok
at court yesterday.
He's so consistent,
with that light mouth of his.
He said he'd keep a secret.
Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret.
How does it feel to work with
the goddess of the Korean Wave?
Does it feel like walking
on top of the clouds?
Rather than clouds,
it's like walking on thin ice.
- What?
- It's hard to explain.
- Hello, Ms. Yang.
- Hello.
If you want some coffee,
shall I make you one?
No, it's okay.
I was so shocked when you came here
as a secretary.
I heard you made it into law school,
but were expelled after receiving
academic probation.
Who told you that?
I just decided to quit on my own.
- Really?
- Yes.
By the way, Yoon-seo.
Can I call you by your name
since I'm older?
Sure.
You don't seem to know
since it's your first time as a secretary,
but being a secretary here isn't
just about doing simple chores.
You should consider yourself
as a legal partner of your attorney.
I hope you can work harder,
so you can be of help to Mr. Kwon.
- I got it.
- If you get it--
Ms. Yang, do you know an
American drama called Madman?
- Sorry?
- The directors told me it was fun,
but it was so boring to me.
Anyway, in that drama,
there is a character
who looks exactly like you.
She nags the younger secretaries
to do this and that
just like an older sister.
You're that type of character, aren't you?
Character? What do you mean--
Okay. I got it.
Thank you for your advice.
I'll really try my best.
When the phone rings,
I have to get it and say,
"Yes, I'll connect you to Mr. Kwon."
Then I press the sharp button.
Number two.
After I hang up the phone...
Yes! I cleared connecting calls!
THINGS TO DO IN THE MORNING!
MASTERING CONNECTING CALLS
Okay. Now do what I taught you.
Okay. Let's see.
Choose the paper first.
Two copies.
And then, start!
Gosh, I did it!
Thank you so much.
If you're really thankful,
can you tell me what kind of
cosmetics you use next time?
- I'd really appreciate that.
- Oh, I use...
She didn't even listen.
I've cleared using
the copying machine too.
What's next?
Mr. Kwon.
- Are you on your way from court?
- Yes.
Right. I forgot telling you yesterday.
Tonight is Ms. Oh's welcoming party.
Everyone is coming, so don't be late.
She'll only be staying for three months,
so why must we have one?
All the employees want it.
She's only here for three months,
so they feel like every moment
will be precious.
They're right, you know.
Her situation calls for a grander welcome.
- Will you join us?
- I have a meeting with a client.
I know that,
and I also know it'll end early too.
You won't have drinks anyway.
I will and I might get drunk.
Really?
That's great since
we find you more comfortable
when you're slightly intoxicated.
- What?
- The elevator is here.
Mr. Kwon, good morning.
Yes, hello.
You came in late today.
I had business outside the office.
Oh, I see.
You look very neat and tidy today.
Is that so?
What is it?
- Sorry?
- You seem to have something to say.
Well,
while you were out,
I tidied up your desk a bit.
So many files and documents
were scattered upon it.
A clean desk improves productivity,
so I made sure of that.
Ms. Oh Jin-sim.
It's not Oh Jin-sim. It's Oh Yoon-seo.
Why do something that wasn't asked?
Sorry?
My trial reports have all gotten mixed up.
I can't even spot
those I must review right away.
Oh, no.
If you tell me what they are,
I'll quickly--
Why touch people's things
in the first place?
But, I just thought it needed a clean--
It may have seemed messy to you,
but I had a system.
Did you forget that I told you
to just lounge around?
Do you have to be like that?
I'm trying my best here,
so you don't have to be so mean.
I may not know how to do many things,
but I'm willing to learn, you know.
Whatever. You may leave now.
Hold on.
I just want to ask this.
Do you perhaps...
hate women?
What?
I mean...
Well...
Do you hate women?
I'm sorry I don't match your expectations.
What are you doing?
I...
I like women.
I like them a lot.
I really do.
It's just that...
I'm not at all interested
in you particularly.
You obnoxious jerk!
Don't touch it ever again.
- Bye, then.
- "Bye, then"?
Her looks and personality
are all nothing but perfect.
I'm not drunk at all.
- What?
- That's him right there.
Don't drag me into your business.
Come on. Yeo-reum likes you, you know.
I'm curious about her relationship
with the son of a conglomerate CEO.
It's a fact that she was at the scene.
I'd like to give you a chance
a chance to work properly as my secretary.
Let's start over from the beginning.
