ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND PLACES ARE FICTITIOUS
FILMING OF CHILD ACTORS DONE UNDER BROADCASTING GUIDELINES
The task force will be dissolved
as of today.
-[Ah-young] Huh? -[Dae-bok] What?
[ominous music plays]
[sighs]
Look, stop kidding around. This is not amusing.
You know I don't waste my time making stupid jokes or kidding around.
-[scoffs] -So, we're really going to be dissolved?
-No explanation? -Wait. None of this makes any sense.
You're such a buzzkill, I swear.
Come on, just sit down. Hold on.
Excuse me, Ms. Jeon. Look, maybe it's just the alcohol that's talking,
but honestly, I'm not quite sure I follow.
I mean, you know better than anyone how hard we've worked for this.
This dinner was meant to celebrate us
-so I'm not sure I get what you're saying. -[sighs]
This can wait until tomorrow.
[phone buzzing]
VICE PRESIDENT
Yes? What is it, sir?
I beg your pardon?
[Jeong-chi] The product and its terms
-are nearly identical. -[sighs]
I hear the divorce insurance is on hold.
You should dissolve the team and pull out before we both get dragged into this.
-[call disconnects] -[inhales sharply] Sir--
Best General Insurance requested approval
from the FSS for the launch of its divorce insurance.
[music ends]
They did what now?
I just explained that to you.
-[sighs] -[Han-deul stammers]
There's no way.
Why? Is there something we don't know?
[stutters] Um, actually…
I had a meeting with the president of Best General Insurance not long ago.
-[gasps] -[stammers] When did you…
We went to the same college and hadn't met in a while so… [inhales sharply]
…when we ran into each other, we decided to grab a meal together.
She seemed to already know about our divorce insurance,
so I figured word of our limited sales had spread, you know?
Was she pressing for answers, or did she try to sound you out?
No.
She only said it sounded compelling,
and hoped it would work out.
[Ah-young] I mean, we're still in the trial period
fine-tuning the terms.
How could they finalize the product and ask for approval, just like that?
[scoffs] Doesn't add up.
Someone must have
leaked intel to Best General Insurance--
Nothing's been confirmed as of yet.
The audit team will review this, so tomorrow, let's continue this discussion.
Wait, hold on. Ms. Jeon…
Ms. Jeon!
-[sighs] -[breathing heavily]
[groaning]
[breathing shakily]
-Ki-jun, what do we do now? -[Ki-jun sighs]
[sobbing] Hey, if all of this turns out to be for nothing, what do we do now?
For now, let's just call it a night.
-[Dae-bok sobbing] Oh, for God's sake. -[sighs]
[clicks tongue]
Are you feeling cold? Should we grab a taxi?
I'm good.
When I have a lot on my mind, I find it helps to take a walk.
By the way…
[inhales sharply]
…about the report filed with the FSS.
Do you think it's somehow connected to this incident?
[sighs] Yeah. Um, sounds that way.
But before anything, we should wait for the audit team's report.
You're right.
[Ki-jun] Hmm…
BEST GENERAL INSURANCE
It's better to cut off any loose ends now.
EPISODE 9
Just make sure it doesn't backfire. So handle it well.
I'm counting on you.
BEST GENERAL INSURANCE PRESIDENT LEE JEONG-SIN
[sighs]
Um, should we… Should we pack our stuff now?
No.
It's just on hold, not a rejection.
There must be a way through this.
Noh Ki-jun, come with me to visit the audit team.
And, Ms. Kang, try contacting the FSS.
Okay, will do, sir.
Let's go.
[Ah-young sighs]
What's going on?
We're from the audit team.
What are you here for?
We found a data leak on Ms. Kang Han-deul's computer.
-What? -Please cooperate, sir.
[Ki-jun] Excuse me?
Me, a data leak? Are you serious?
No, wait. Hold on a minute.
Wait.
Sir… [sighs] …are you sure about this?
Ma'am, step aside now.
-Sure. -Han-deul…
[gasps]
-Ms. Kang, please come with us. -[gasps]
-Ma'am, let's go now. -[gasps]
Ms. Kang… [stutters]
[gasps]
I… [sighs] I'll be back soon.
-[stutters] -Let's go.
Han-deul…
[stammering] Ms. Kang. Ms. K… [sighs]
[sighs]
[line ringing]
[operator] The number you have dialed is currently--
[phone beeps]
[line ringing]
[mysterious, suspenseful music playing]
[elevator beeps]
[phone beeps]
[elevator beeps]
[line ringing]
[operator] The number you have…
[line disconnects]
Ms. Jeon.
You seem quite busy, sir. You haven't answered any of my calls.
Oh, any of your calls?
[smacks lips] Dear God,
-my phone was on silent. [chuckles] -[sighs]
Why? What's going on?
You know exactly what's going on, sir.
[gasps] Oh! [chuckles]
I must be losing track with the year end. [chuckles]
The audit team is currently looking into the leak.
-[tense music playing] -[Jeong-chi sighs]
We need to revoke the approval for Best General's divorce insurance.
[sighs]
[clicks tongue, inhales sharply]
[sighs]
Ms. Jeon.
-Have you forgotten what you wanted? -What?
I'll tell you what you want, Ms. Jeon.
It's for the employees to create an epic product,
then take it to China, and use it to climb to the position of vice president
at the China branch, isn't that right?
-[phone chimes] -[Jeon-man gasps]
Well, am I mistaken?
What are you trying to imply, sir?
[inhales sharply] What I'm trying to say, Ms. Jeon,
is that an insurance product is merely a means to your success.
Why not explore other options? Who said it has to be divorce insurance though?
Look, at this point, there's nothing to gain
from clinging to a ship that's already sunk.
You said that the audit team is already looking into it.
Back out before you drag us both in. You got that, hmm?
[sighs] But even so, we were the first ones to create the products.
There are so many other products you can come up with.
Let's instead assemble a new team and create something new!
No, I take that back. Given the current situation,
you can't trust anyone on the team any longer.
Right?
What? What's with that look?
Don't tell me, Ms. Jeon. Have you grown attached to them now, huh?
Because of teamwork? Is that why?
[sighs] Teamwork?
I don't think so. I'm not part of their team.
Good, good. That's very good indeed.
We'll start over again and give it our best shot, hmm? [chuckles]
[sighs]
[somber music playing]
[sighs]
Why the heck weren't you picking up your phone?
Sorry, sir. What's happened to Ms. Kang's desk?
[sighs] The audit team came by earlier.
They're… They're saying that she leaked some data.
-What? -To be precise,
we don't know if it was her.
They just found signs of a data leak on her computer.
-[tense music playing] -[gasps]
You said that the audit team is already looking into it. [inhales deeply]
Back out before you drag us both in, okay?
Given the current situation,
you can't trust anyone on the team any longer, right?
[Ah-young] Han-deul leaking data?
[scoffs] That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
What if Ms. Kang got her employee number compromised by some sneaky rat?
[inhales deeply]
Yeah, it's possible.
But none of it holds together.
There are too many inconsistencies.
[Dae-bok] Anyone have the slightest idea who could have done this?
Really? Not one of you saw some rat sneaking around looking suspicious?
[Ki-jun] Mm-mmm.
-[sighs] -[Ki-jun sighs]
Hold on. What if we cross-check Ms. Kang's logins
with the CCTV footage around here? That should help us identify someone, right?
Although I'm pretty sure there aren't any CCTV cameras in here.
There's one in the hallway by the office.
[sighs]
We might not be able to access the footage.
Well, in that case, I'll check to see if we can
at least access the computer login records.
-I'll go with you. -What are you going to do?
I have to try something.
Oh, help her please.
[sighs]
What are colleagues for, man?
Can you do me a favor? I'm really pressed for time.
It's illegal to show it without following procedure.
You don't have the authorization anyway.
No worries. I'm sorry about that.
You can't personally request that.
You'll need approval from C-level.
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
Okay.
[sighs]
How'd it go?
[Dae-bok sighs]
[sighs]
C-level approval is required before you can access it.
CCTV footage too?
Same thing for accessing computer log-in records.
[sighing]
If we need an executive, Ms. Jeon could help us out.
[intriguing music playing]
That's right. We've got Ms. Jeon, right?
You're absolutely right.
We had someone to let us in from the very beginning. I'll go ask her.
-You got this. -[Dae-bok] Okay.
Although…
Ms. Jeon might be kind of difficult,
but she's not completely cold-hearted though.
[Dae-bok] That's right. She isn't.
[sighs]
[knocks on door]
Yes?
[Ki-jun] Ms. Jeon. [sighs]
Good morning.
-What's the matter? -We need your help. It's urgent.
The audit team's investigation
confirmed the data was leaked from Ms. Kang's computer.
Given the situation, all we can do is wait.
So, we're just going to let it play out?
It'll decide the future of divorce insurance and the task force.
[inhales deeply] I supervise the task force.
I'll get accused of playing favorites if I were to get involved.
[sighs]
[inhales deeply] Mr. Noh. [sighs]
I think you should focus on returning to your respective teams.
You don't mean that.
[sentimental music playing]
You're the only one who can get our team and Ms. Kang
out of the situation. I'm sure you're well aware of that.
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
-[exhales shakily] -[door slams]
[sighs]
[Dae-bok sighs]
[inhales sharply] What's taking him so long? [sighs]
[Ah-young grunts]
What's up, Mr. An?
-Huh? -Are you nervous?
No. I mean, I'm sure-- It's all going well and good.
Are you? [sighs]
Think positive. Mm-hmm. Think positive.
[sighs]
[door opens, closes]
-Oh, he's back. He's back, he's back. -[gasps]
Well? Huh?
[sighs] Let's give it a little more time.
[sighs]
[Dae-bok sighs]
[Na-rae] Teamwork?
I don't think so. I'm not part of their team.
[exhales sharply]
[sighs]

KANG HAN-DEUL
[gasps]
[Ah-young sighs]
I wonder if Han-deul is finishing up with the audit team by now?
[door opens]
[door closes]
Ms. Kang.
-[Ah-young] Ah! -[Jeon-man] Oh?
-[Ah-young] Han-deul. Are you okay? -I'm okay.
That must've been tough. What happened?
[sighs] Honestly, I'm not sure as of now.
They say there are signs of a leak,
but I don't know the details regarding when or how it occurred.
I didn't get to ask many questions either
because I was feeling confused myself.
[inhales sharply] Okay, so, did they mention what happens from here on out?
Uh… First off…
[inhales shakily] …I'm gonna be suspended.
[Dae-bok, Ah-young sigh]
[inhales deeply] Ms. Kang… [sighs] …we tried our best to help, but…
[inhales deeply] I'm sorry.
Thank you all for trying to help and for your concern. [inhales deeply]
And I'm sorry too. It's all my fault.
-Han-deul. -Nonsense. We all know it wasn't you.
You didn't do anything wrong.
[Dae-bok] Yeah, he's right. We're a team.
We're in this together. We're all behind you. Okay?
You should head home and rest now. [inhales deeply, sighs]
Okay, hey, let's all clock out
-early today. -Yes, sir.
-[sighs] -[Ah-young] Han-deul,
-hang in there, okay? -[sighs]
Just wait until I get my hands on that jerk…
Aw.
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
[scoffs]
[head of security] With a one- or two-minute margin,
his movements match the off-hours computer usage I mentioned.
I guess you're right.
[inhales sharply]
Question. What seniority level gives access to employee numbers?
From the CFO level, ma'am.
By CFO, you mean…
One is the former VP, now an independent director,
and the other is the current VP.
[exhales shakily]
Is that so?
[sighs]
What should I do with the copy of the footage, ma'am?
You can just leave it for now.
Ah, yes, ma'am.

-Good afternoon. -Oh, hi.

Aren't you getting in, ma'am?
-[phone buzzes] -Oh. Hold on.
RISK SURVEYOR AN JEON-MAN LET'S TALK. I'LL BE WAITING
No, you can go.
[clears throat]
I'm not at your beck and call, you know.
What is it?
Look up at the sky.
The sunset at this hour is really beautiful.
[Na-rae] Mmm.
I've always been the kid with poor eyesight.
So my mom used to say, "Look far into the distance."
She said that looking up at the sky would help improve my eyesight.
I hated glasses so I looked into the distance every day.
It never improved. [chuckles]
[inhales deeply]
It just never got any worse is all.
So, why have you called me out here, Mr. An?
Because I want you to look far ahead.
I hope your choice…
doesn't end up causing something worse.
Hold on. Do you already know?
Well, I overheard you.
What did you hear?
Up until when you said you weren't part of the team.
[sentimental music playing]
I was a little disappointed.
A lot, actually.
I merely said that because
I didn't want the VP to know how I really felt about all of you.
Then how do you really feel?
If I shared everything with you,
it'd be like taking a fatal blow.
Then don't share everything. Just pretend.
Like… like I know everything already.
It'll make your comeback easier.
[chuckles] Give you peace of mind.
This isn't a joke.
Comeback, what?
I don't think you're the type to die from a fatal blow.
Am I wrong?
[chuckles]
No, you're right.
It really is beautiful.
[Jeon-man] It must be tough for you.
That much I know.
Still, I suggest you muster your strength,
and follow your heart even if it seems hard right now. It's worth it.
I offer that advice as your friend, not as your colleague.
[sighs]
Are you hungry?
How about some food before we head home?
-Um… -[phone buzzes]
I'm sorry, but I'll have to take a rain check on that.
Why? Is something wrong?
I have to stop by my parents' place, that's all.
Oh, I see.
What's their address?
No, you can just drop me off over there. It's okay.
-[sighs] Let me take you there. -No, it's fine.
Ms. Kang, come on.
You've been through a lot today.
Let me drive you.
[romantic music playing]
[Ki-jun] All right.
You should go.
-Thank you for dropping me off. -Ah, not a problem. [chuckles]
[person] Kang Han-deul.
[gasps] Oh, Mom?
Oh, good evening, ma'am.
-[Han-deul sighs] -[security system chimes]
[chuckling] You should head inside. It's fine.
-[sighs] -[security system chimes]
Mm-hmm.
-[security system chimes] -[door opens]
[sighs]
[security system chimes]
[host, on TV] Get ready for the first round.
The challenge will test your reflexes and…
I'm home, Dad. How are you?
…think fast and outsmart each other
if you wanna stay in the game…
[chattering on TV]
Have some cake, Dad.
I know you love sweet treats. [chuckles]
[host, on TV] Only time will tell as the first round unfolds…
[Han-deul's mother sighs]
Contestants, get ready for the next round.
This one's all about precision.
Sure is. Every move counts and one misstep could cost you the game.
Please tell me
you didn't divorce Su-in because you met a new man.
No, Mom.
Then who was that man outside?
[stammering] Uh, no one. Just a coworker.
You should behave yourself, Han-deul.
It hasn't been long since the divorce.
Don't give people any more reason to gossip about you.
[sighs] Mom.
Have you talked to Su-in? Did you even try to reach out?
No, I haven't. Why would I have any reason to?
I told you to attend next week's family gathering with him, didn't I?
Mom, he's no longer family. We're divorced.
-[sighs] -[clears throat]
If you're not gonna come with him, then don't come at all.
I'll just let everyone know that you two were too busy to come.
I wasn't going to come at all.
What?
I embarrass you so much. How could I possibly attend your family get-together?
So, you've made up your mind?
You're determined to bring shame to your own parents, is that it?
[inhales shakily]
[sad music playing]
[shakily] As my parents,
how about you at least ask if I'm eating well,
or getting enough sleep? [inhales shakily]
Can't you just ask me things like that?
[sniffles] Despite everything,
I'm still your daughter, Dad.
Mom, I'm still your daughter.
Getting a divorce isn't something to be proud of.
I mean, what did Su-in ever do to you that you just went ahead and divorced him?
[breathing shakily] I did it because I couldn't handle the hurt.
[Han-deul's mother] You're not the only one hurting.
Everyone learns to cope in life!
Marriage is about that, nothing more!
[scoffs]
So, after enduring all that,
are you happy now, Mom?
[inhales deeply, scoffs]
'Cause you know what? I'm happy right now. I really am.
[scoffs] God, I can't believe it.
Why you… Jesus.

DOCUMENT ACCESS RECORD
We're on the same team, Ms. Jeon.
[sighs] Our goal never aligned from the outset, so, what team?
-[slurps] -[sighs]
[tense music playing]
Wow.
We are on the same team.
We may have different perspectives,
but we clearly work toward the same goal.
And in that sense,
doesn't that make us partners? On the same team after all?
I take it you feel all righteous now for handing me this…
This worthless piece of paper.
[chuckles]
[grunts]
I wonder if the task force members even know, hmm?
About the schemes that our
brilliant director Jeon
has been orchestrating behind the scenes?
Hmm? [chuckling]
[inhales deeply, sighs]
[sighs]
Jeon Na-rae.
You know, you're no better than I am.
If you don't want to get caught up in this mess,
I'd stay put and keep quiet, hmm?
[groans] Ah, that… that's hot!
What the hell? Geez…
-Sorry. It was my mistake. -[Jeong-chi grunts]
Why did you… Hey, you did this on purpose, didn't you? I just bought these, you know.
[grunts]
[sighs]
Why is this so hard to remove?
[sighs]
[breathing shakily]
You know? You're no better than I am.
I suggest you muster your strength,
and follow your heart even if it seems hard right now.
-[sentimental K-pop ballad playing] -[sighs]
I get it now.
It's a solid concept.
[cheering, laughing]
[Ki-jun laughing] Good game! That was fantastic!

Han-deul.
A suspension doesn't mean you have to pack up and leave.
I don't wanna burden you all.
-Han-deul… -Hey, she's right, Ms. Kang.
Let's wait a little while longer, huh?
I mean, if they're dissolving the team anyway,
we might as well stick around while we can, right?
[sighs]
Hey, where have you been hiding all this time?
Here and there, trying to stay afloat.
"Here and there." Where's that?
[sighs]
I've been looking around to see if there's a way to clear Ms. Kang's name.
Oh, okay. Yeah. Good job.
I'm sure the truth will come out.
Especially with all your support.
Of course, yeah. Of course it will.
Seriously, where has Jeon-man been all this time?
Why isn't he here?
Geez.
[footsteps approaching]
Oh, well, speak of the devil and he shall appear.
Where on Earth have you…
Morning, ma'am.
You're all here.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
What is all this, Ms. Jeon?
And why is it in Chinese?
The objective…
was to roll out divorce insurance at the China branch first.
[sentimental music playing]
The VP and I…
[sighs]
[scoffs]
[gasps]
Geez, I swear, this is gonna take ten years off my life.
[inhales sharply, groans]
When the vice president proposed the idea to launch divorce insurance in China,
I agreed because the product's value justified the plan.
With such a talented team behind this product,
I believed that launching it would make up for the delay in establishing
the China branch.
-[Han-deul] Oh. -[Dae-bok sighs]
[breathes shakily]
That's why I made the suggestion
to use a task force computer to send the Chinese terms and conditions.
That way, it would seem more natural.
-[Ah-young] Whoa. -[scoffs]
Ms. Kang.
I am really sorry.
Everyone,
I truly apologize for this.
[Dae-bok scoffs]
[sighing] Why are you telling us this now?
I wanna fix things. The divorce insurance rollout…
the task force, Ms. Kang of course.
Every part.
[Dae-bok sighs]
You could've turned a blind eye.
But…
you still chose to bring it to light.
And I know it can't have been an easy decision to make.
So, thank you for being truthful.
[Dae-bok sighs]
[sighs]
[sniffles, sighs]
[music ends]
Here are Ms. Kang's computer log-in records.
We need to prove Ms. Kang wasn't present when this computer was used.
Someone logged into her computer yet she wasn't even here.
That's what we must prove.
Oh. This was when…
Oh. That's right.
That day we were in Gorangae Village.
-[Dae-bok] Hmm? -What?
Wait a minute. Oh, this is actually quite easy.
We just need to check her time card.
Did you file a trip request?
Uh, it happened so suddenly.
-[Dae-bok] For the love of… -[Jeon-man] Damn it.
We were so close, but now we're back to square one.
[groans]
[Ki-jun] I should…
The photo.
Yes!
At the ceremony!
Oh, my God! We took photos at the ceremony that day!
-You have the photo? -[gasps] I'll call Woong-sik and ask him.
Oh, come on.
[line ringing]
Hey, it's me. Could you send me the photo we took at the wedding ceremony?
It's urgent.
[gasps] Thanks.
Come on.
-[phone buzzes] -[gasps]
Oh, he sent it! Look! It's here.
-[Dae-bok] The date. -[Ah-young] This was taken that day.
The 27th! Thank God! [exclaiming, laughing]
-Thank God. -[gasps]
-[all sigh] -[Ah-young] Thank God.
Okay, so now what do we do?
This man.
We need to find out the nature of his relationship with the vice president.
What? Wait.
Let me see who this is.
Wait. [stammers]
Come on, old man. Mr. Na, I mean.
-Seriously? -I called him Mr. Na this time.
-Just turn it around. -Sorry, Ms. Jeon.
-Let me see. -[intriguing music playing]
-Huh? -Wait. This pink shirt…
-It's Mr. Oh Jeong-do, right? -[gasps] You're right.
He's been wearing nothing but pink lately.
-You're right. -[Dae-bok] So that means…
[exhales deeply]
Oh! Mr. Vice President!
[sucks teeth]
Take care, sir.
[exhales deeply] Ah. That's where those two were…
Don't you think he would've gone into hiding by now?
I doubt it. There's nowhere for him to hide.
So, Mr. Na?
You two go after him now. Trust me on this.
[intense suspenseful music playing]
Hey, can you tell me where Mr. Oh Jeong-do is?
I have no clue, sir.
What makes you think I'd know?
If you find out where Mr. Oh is, could you please have him contact me?
Yes, sir.
-Unit 502, isn't it? -Yeah, that's the one.
Some laundry's hanging.
[sighs] Let's check it out.
[doorbell ringing]
-[Jeon-man] Excuse me, sir… -Who are you?
Is this where Mr. Oh Jeong-do lives?
[stutters] No, it's not.
-[stammers] Could we just-- -Hey, no. This isn't it.
Hello, Mr. Na.
This is the wrong address.
Jesus. Jesus!
This little notebook is worth one billion won.
It has the phone numbers of judges, prosecutors, and lawmakers. Come on!
-[sighs] This should be it, right? -Positive.
-[elevator chimes] -[Ki-jun sighs]
Mr. Oh? You're home.
Whoa! Jesus!
Where you going?
-[Jeon-man] Where is Oh? -Wait!
-You sure it's him? One hundred? -100% sure.
-Come on, let's take the stairs. -The stairs! The stairs.
[panting] Where now?
[Jeon-man] Hey! Over there.
-Uh, come on. No, not that way! -Jesus.
Hurry up.
[Ki-jun] Which floor?
Ah, Jesus!
Hey, wait!
-Hey! -[tires squealing]
Mr. Oh!
Catch him!
Come on. Mr. Oh!
God sake.
Mr. Oh!
Stop the car!
[brakes squeal]
Do you have a damn death wish?
Just give up now, Mr. Oh!

We've worked with you for many years, haven't we?
So please just hand over the evidence, sir.
I heard you remarried recently.
[shudders]
[sighs]
You promise you'll vouch for me, right?
Um, of course, sir. We told you ten times already.
To hell with it. [exclaims]
BEST GENERAL INSURANCE PRESIDENT LEE JEONG-SIN
[phone buzzes]
[tense music playing]
[chuckles]
Well, this is quite unexpected.
Enjoy.
Let me just get straight to the point, ma'am.
Stay away from the divorce insurance.
[chuckling]
I understand. This product is undeniably enticing.
[chuckles] What a shame.
If you found it so enticing, ma'am, you should've been more careful, I guess.
It seems one of our employees sent you a personal email.
What are you talking about?
So I was curious to know why.
[chuckles]
[Jeong-chi] I just met President Lee Jeong-sin of Best General Insurance.
Send the divorce insurance documents to the email address I gave you.
Don't you dare let the task force catch wind of this.
Or it'll be both our heads on the chopping block.
CALL RECORDING VICE PRESIDENT JEONG JEONG-CHI
Jeong Jeong-chi, that bastard, will undergo an audit.
That mess will spill over to Best General Insurance.
How do you plan to handle it?
Unfair competition, industrial technology breach violations,
and IP infringement.
Wow, that is a lot.
[scoffs]
This is a chance that I'm giving to you.
If you're smart, you should know it's wise to take it.
-[knocks on door] -[Jeon-man] Ms. Jeon?
[knocks on door]
[line ringing]
SENIOR MANAGING DIRECTOR JEON NA-RAE
[line disconnects]
[clears throat]
[grunts]
[knocks on door]
[chuckling] You're early, ma'am.
-[tense music playing] -Wha…
There you are, Mr. Jeong.
[gasping]
[stammering]
What the hell are you doing here?
No, wait. Ms. Lee, wait. I, uh, please let me explain--
Didn't I tell you
to handle it properly?
Yes.
The deal we had, it never happened.
Hold on. Ms. Lee, please.
[stammering] No, Ms. Lee, don't do this. Wait. Please, Ms. Lee, I, uh…
[sighs]
[breathing shakily]
Jeon Na-rae.
You really think doing this will make you the hero? Huh? Do you?
I won't go down alone. Do you understand?
[scoffs] Seriously.
I don't believe this.
Uh, Ms. Jeon.
Ms. Jeon, please let this slide just this once. Okay, Ms. Jeon?
Do this for me as a favor, hmm?
I'll make sure everything with the China branch disappears.
Like it never happened, okay? Hmm? So just this once please let it slide.
-Ms. Jeon? -You can go down alone, sir.
Because
at least I won't make things worse for myself.
[upbeat, triumphant music playing]
Jeon Na-rae. Jeon Na-rae.
Jeon Na-rae!
[sighs]
Damn it.
Who are you?
[grunts] Don't you touch me! Do you pricks know who you're talking to?
[auditor] Vice President, Jeong Jeong-chi,
we're from the audit team. We ask that you cooperate, sir.
[line ringing]
[elevator bell dings]
[gasps]
-[sentimental music playing] -[phone buzzing]
[line continues ringing]
[line disconnects]
I was worried about you.
I couldn't reach you, and couldn't find you anywhere either.
I've had my hands full.
These last two days were a lot.
Well done for pulling through.
It must've been a lonely two days.
[sighs] I said my hands were full.
Well…
I guess I'll really be alone starting tomorrow.
[romantic K-pop song playing]
[cackling]
Oh, God, Jeon-man. Come on over here quick!
[joyful music playing]
Oh, yes! Yeah!
Ow! Ow! [groans]
-[Dae-bok chuckling] -[both chuckle]
Our task force is back on track.
President's orders. [cackles]
Well, that's great news. [chuckles]
Come on, what did I tell you? There's always a way out.
Yeah, I'll say.
I told you, there was never any problem with our project in the first place.
It was a wild ride though, full of obstacles.
-[chuckles] -Well done, everyone. Great work.
Thank you. Well, Ms. Kang, it was roughest on you.
You had it the worst.
That said, should we clock out?
[gasps]
Let's do it since everything has been resolved.
-Troops, Oscar Mike! -Sorry?
Don't even look back and just get outta here!
-[cackling] -[chuckles] Sounds good.
[Dae-bok] We're out! [cackles]
-It feels so great! -All right. Let's clock out, everyone.
These days, it feels like every single day just drags on forever.
But I'm really glad everything ended up working out in the end.
Thanks to Ms. Jeon.
She clearly put in a lot of effort, given her sincerity.
While we're on the subject, you should cut her some slack, you know.
I wouldn't even be here right now if it weren't for her support.
[scoffs]
Okay, sounds good.
Thanks.
-Hop in. -Thank you.
Wait,
-aren't you hungry? -Uh…
[stomach gurgling]
-Yeah. -[chuckles]
Uh, how did you know? [chuckles]
Let's get something tasty. Go, go!
Okay.
-[sighs] Let's go. -Okay.
All right, let's roll.
Since when was this considered a must-visit though?
You don't know?
-You'll know when you get inside. -Huh?
[both chuckle]
All right.
Welcome, ma'am.
-Seriously, What are you up to? -[chuckles]
Come on in. It's cold outside.
[whimsical, romantic music playing]
[gasps]
-What is all this stuff? -Hold on.
[gasps]
All right.
Ta-da!
["The Moon Is Mooning" playing]
[chuckles]
So? Doesn't it feel less empty now?
This is so beautiful
-and cozy too. -[chuckles]
[Ki-jun] Mmm. Perfectly cooked.
All done!
[sighs]
-Wow! -There wasn't much to work with,
so I just stir-fried whatever I had.
[chuckles]
Try it out.
Is it good?
It is a must-visit now.
[exclaims] I knew it.
[chuckles]
Thank you, Ki-jun.
Ah, it's nothing at all.
[chuckles]
What's wrong? Do you want something else?
-No. The other day after work… -What day?
The day you drove me to my parent's house.
You found my mom's reaction surprising, didn't you?
-Weren't you a little shocked? -Hmm.
I never thought I'd end up showing you that part of my life, you know.
Hey, don't worry. It's all good.
To be honest, my parents still feel…
[sucks teeth]
…well, ashamed of having a divorced daughter.
Ah, I see.
I'm no stranger to that kind of family drama either. [chuckles]
You know, my parents have been stuck in a loveless marriage for so many years.
It's almost like an old habit ingrained in their daily lives.
[chuckles] Isn't it strange?
Mm-mmm. Well, a lot of married couples live like that.
Oh, you know what?
You should suggest they get divorce insurance.
My parents? Are you serious? [chuckling] I could never.
Why not? I asked my brother-in-law to sign up.
Your brother-in-law? No way.
[scoffs] Yeah.
If you think about it simply, it's just an insurance policy.
Oh.
Plus… [sighs] …I believe experiences like these will only help us
to narrow down our margin of error over time.
What do you think? Do you think we are a bit closer now?
[chuckles]
Now stop thinking and eat your food. It's gonna get cold. Enjoy.
Okay. Thanks for the yummy stir-fry.
-Mmm. -Mmm. Mm-hmm.
-It's so good. -The seasoning too?
It's perfect.
[song ends]
Pizza should be okay, right?
Of course. I enjoyed it last time.
Oh, you remember.
Of course I do. It was a cosmic spectacle.
[chuckles] Right? Wouldn't it be cool to see that show again?
[server] Sir, your pizza's ready.
Ah, yeah.
[Dae-bok] Whoa!
Round two of divorce insurance. Come on, come on! We got this!
[all] We got this!
Handling our last rejection, now to the official launch!
With that hurdle cleared, it should be smooth sailing now, right?
Yeah, of course it should. We should enjoy the ride from now on.
-Sure. Yeah. -Geez.
[Dae-bok] Mmm!
-Han-deul, this is so good. -It's amazing.
Yeah, it's perfect. I mean, it's so soft. Mmm. It just melts in your mouth.
-Mr. Na, I just had an intuition. -[Dae-bok chuckles]
Divorce insurance is gonna be a huge hit.
-[chuckles] -Yes, the worst is definitely over.
It sure is.
But what will happen to Ms. Jeon now?
[Na-rae] Well, I guess I'll really be alone
starting tomorrow.
[sighs] I mean, yeah, she was a bit of a pain for sure,
but she really came through when it mattered.
-She sure did. I'm worried about her. -[Dae-bok sighs]
Oh, well, I'm sure she'll be fine. Yeah.
It feels really strange not having her around.
Right about now, she'd normally start in here. She's like…
[imitates heels clicking]
…and then she'd go… [knocks on table]
[imitates Na-rae] "This is not the time to be eating pizza."
[normal] With that voice, you know.
You gave me a heart attack. You sounded just like her.
-[Ah-young] Oh, gosh. -[door opens]
Who are you?
-Hold on. -[stammering] Mr. Kim?
-Do you know this man? -Yeah.
Uh, we last met to discuss the report filed with the FSS.
What brings you here, sir?
[sighs]
I'm…
considering divorce.
-[intriguing music playing] -[coughing]
[Han-deul] Uh-oh…
Sounds like round two, all right. [sighs]
[inhales sharply]
-Napkins? -[Ah-young] We're done here, right?
Before we proceed, could you please provide me
with the details of what happened?
[sighs]
Please take as much time as you need.
[inhales shakily]
We are in a sham marriage, the two of us.
What's a sham marriage, sir?
This can't be the same Han Yeo-reum I know.
Do you know her, Ms. Joh?
Why? Why? What is it? Tell me.
She just has the same name as this influencer I'm following on social media.
-Plenty of people have the same name. -[Ah-young] That's true.
But, you see, she and her husband are smitten with each other.
They own a really nice place too.
Oh! That's right. The wife is very supportive too.
-I mean, she radiates with love. Yeah. -[Dae-bok] Oh, yeah? Is that so?
DIVORCE INSURANCE INFORMATION
I forget what the husband does for a living.
He's not in insurance, is he?
Ugh. No, of course not.
I'll go see Ms. Han Yeo-reum.
Ms. Joh, grab the subscription form and come along.
Sorry?
-Good luck. -You should go with him.
Ah, right. Okay.
[Dae-bok] Don't forget the subscription form.
Oh, right. See you later, sir.
-Take care. Okay. Go, team! Good luck. -Good luck.
[Dae-bok sighs]
What kind of man would turn down his wife's support?
-He'd have to be out of his mind. -You can never tell with married couples.
Is that right?
I want to get a divorce.
[somber music playing]
[sighs]
I know that people won't understand.
My wife has been through a lot herself too.
But things aren't going as she hopes. The stress must've been overwhelming.
[sighs]
But it doesn't seem fair to keep forcing this.
But there's no light at the end of the tunnel either.
[sighs]
Wow, I didn't realize it was late.
I sincerely hope I haven't taken up too much of your valuable time.
Don't worry about it. It's all part of the process, sir.
-[inhales deeply, sighs] -[elevator chimes]
Anyhow, I appreciate all your help.
Of course. I'll be reaching out soon.
[sighs]
[Dae-bok sucks teeth] Oh, boy.
Did he say how much longer?
He's almost here.
Continuation ceremony, moving houses.
I kinda wonder what's next.
It's been a tough ride, sure, but it turned out well. Right?
Don't you agree, Ms. Kang?
Uh, yeah, yeah. For sure.
-[chuckles] -[door opens]
-We're back. We're back, everyone. -[Dae-bok] Oh, lovely! So? How'd it go?
[panting] You won't believe this. It's pretty cool.
It is the same people I was talking about. The smitten couple.
-[gasps] -Are you serious?
-Yeah. -What did I say?
You never know with married couples.
So, I take it the talk went well?
Yeah. Well, there's no breach of contract at play,
nor is this a sham divorce.
More importantly, Ms. Han isn't really set on this divorce.
Really?
Hmm.
If they were a loving couple, helping them find common ground
should make resolving this straightforward, right?
But clearly finding common ground won't be easy.
Seriously, man?
We'll give it our very best shot.
So, this divorce can't--
…be stopped.
[stammering] What did you just say, Ms. Kang?
There's no stopping this divorce.
Mr. Kim Seon-man and Ms. Han Yeo-reum must get divorced.
[suspenseful music playing]
[theme song playing]
So, why did you invite me over?
About the divorce insurance.
Why not stick with us until the launch?
I got it 'cause it made me think of you.
You should return it.
[Yeo-reum] This is all because of divorce insurance.
I'm not getting a divorce.
Hi, Summers!
[Seon-man] Do you have to post it on social media?
You don't even care about me. Only about appearances.
They must get divorced.
What are you talking about? Our goal's to reduce rejections.
[Dae-bok] That's enough, everyone. This isn't the time to bicker.
[Han-deul] Shouldn't we return to why we created
divorce insurance in the first place?
