Ah, General Manager. How have you been?
I'm surprised to see you here.
And you, Director?
Perhaps we're here for the same reason.
Episode 9
So you're here to buy a present?
I don't know when I'll be in a position to give it to her.
But I wanted to buy it anyway.
Is this someone you like?
Yes, indeed.
I guess you're very much in love with her.
Yes, I am.
I see you've also bought a present, General Manager.
Yes, it's for someone I love.
I see. Congratulations.
I've had to chase her.
I didn't think I would go to such lengths,
but somehow it happened.
I'm curious about her.
She's a pure person.
She's always honest about her feelings.
And she doesn't care for formalities or appearances.
Maybe it's best to say, she's very human.
It always cheers me up to be with her.
What about the woman you love?
Well, she's... ordinary.
She's kindhearted, honest...
She comforts me often.
I would quite like to meet her.
Sure. I'll introduce you sometime.
Yes.
This is the attendance register,
- Ah, yes. - And here are the materials you wanted photocopied.
Ah, thank you.
It is really amazing that your degree is in Japanese literature,
yet you know so much about architecture.
Ah. It's because my late father was an architect.
Ah, I see.
So I learned from him and picked it up as a minor.
I'm glad it serves some use.
Ah, that's right.
It's this room.
Do you best, then.
Yes.
Hello.
Today I will be talking about residences, hotels, and architecture.
I'm Jang Mi Ri. Nice to meet you all.
Miss, you're so good-looking!
This is all in the materials I handed out.
But to summarize, it's like this:
Essentially it's the Waikiki sand beach, recreated indoors.
There has always been... safety problems with concrete floors...
Using a sand beach effectively eliminates these problems...
Hello?
Fine.
Let's end it there.
I'm no different, really.
It's funny,
I hated reading materials when I was in school, and now I'm forcing you to do the same.
To be honest, I don't know much about this either.
Let's throw this away. It's not important.
The point of this lecture is, to put it simply, something like this:
Before I ripped the notes, this lecture room felt stiff.
But now it feels different, right?
Yeah.
Let's have another example.
The couple over there.
Would you please come to the front of the room?
It's okay, please come out.
I noticed when I was lecturing,
that you were concentrating on displays of affection and not on me.
What if I give you the chance to do it publicly?
It would be a good opportunity to show off how much you love one another.
It's okay, so why don't you try it?
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
You see how, by these two kissing,
the atmosphere of this lecture hall changed?
So depending on whether we sit here and study, or share displays of affection,
the atmosphere changes. Simple changes make the place itself change.
And that is the gist of my lecture today.
This was my first, and possibly last, university lecture.
And I wanted to share more with you...
so I'm a little disappointed.
But thanks for listening to me today. Good work and thank you.
What a successful professor you are.
The students really loved you!
But I'm not really a professor.
Why not? You stood at a university lectern. So you're a professor now.
Nowadays, you can see student responses right after lectures.
Here we are.
Oh?
Isn't this me?
Apparently your lecture was very interesting, with the sand beaches and all.
And they posted a photo of you, titled 'Beautiful and Bold'.
Why? Is something wrong?
Oh no.
It's just strange, to see myself on the lectern.
I see.
Hello?
Where?
Yes, it's me, Mother.
I can't see him!
He's right there.
Huh? No, no, I don't want to.
Come on, give it a try. You said you wanted to see him.
Just tell your brother that I'll send up some bean stew soon.
Is he even eating properly, living all alone...
You can see his face if you look here, really.
Here?
Can't you see me, Mother?
I miss you, my son.
Yes. I'll come see you soon.
What are you doing here, Mr. Mun?
To offer you a ride, of course.
May I ask where we're headed?
I only have instructions to escort you.
I see.
Let's get going.
Yes.
[Director Jang Myung Hoon]
Yes, it's me.
I'm here at your lecture hall but I can't find you.
Ah. I'm with the students.
They asked me to buy drinks, since it was my first lecture...
You should have told me you were coming.
I just wanted to see how you did.
I guess the student response was good.
Okay then. Have fun.
I'm sorry.
No, no. Don't mind me, enjoy yourself.
It's good to hear that they like you.
Okay. I'll ring you later, alright?
Hey, Myung Hoon!
What are you doing here?
Ah, how naughty of those kids to drag out a first-time lecturer to buy them drinks.
Well, it's for a good cause.
Oho, what a thing for a miser to say!
It must be good, though.
How else would we get you to buy us drinks?
You must really like her, eh?
- Ah, Director Lee! Come on over. - Aigoo.
Hey, how long's it been?
All of us getting together!
Aigoo. Aigoo, really.
- Long time no see. - Yes, you too.
I heard your program is going well.
It's not, really.
I heard the lecture went well.
- Well, she's pretty. - She's pretty?
Stop it, Hyung.
We need to prepare Round 2 of the Jang Mi Ri project.
Why don't we start with getting her on the panel?
It's a little boring, but I suppose we have to.
Ah, Assistant Kim!
Professor!
Ah, thank you.
I heard all of the students went to an after-party?
Huh?
There was no after-party.
Hm?
There are finals next week, so all of them went home.
That's strange.
I wish this wasn't love
Because it hurts to think of the day we must part
But if it makes you happy, then we must
It's the only thing I can do for you
My love, is the space I leave empty only for you, for you, for you
I look away and smile so that you don't notice
I don't want you to be hurt, I don't want to leave you
Don't love me
I stop my tears and tell you not to wait
I turn my back and leave you like this
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, my only love
My heart says so but I love you too much to call out
It's okay if I'm hurting, because I love you
This is enough for
Me
Did you prepare all this, Yu Hyun?
I was just thinking of you...
I want you to have many good friends.
And be surrounded by many people.
Don't ever feel lonely again.
I won't ever leave you.
All the things you dreamed of,
all the happiness you wanted...
I will make all of them come true for you.
Will you marry me?
Do you...
l-love me?
Yes. I love you.
Even if I'm not what you think I am?
You don't know all of me either, Mi Ri.
I believe love can grow with time,
with the progress of a relationship.
I want that with you, Mi Ri.
Will you give me permission?
If you will have me.
I wish this wasn't love
Because it hurts to think of the day we must part
But if it makes you happy, then we must
It's the only thing I can do for you
My love, the space I leave empty only for you, for you, for you, for you
I look away and smile so that you don't notice
I don't want you to be hurt, I don't want to leave you
Don't love me
Good night.
You too.
Thank you for saying yes.
No, thank you.
You should go in.
Have a safe trip home.
You're late.
Yeah.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
No.
What's wrong?
What?
You were just staying with your parents for a few days while your father was sick,
and so much has happened with her in that short time?
Apparently Mi Ri was in charge of my father's hospital food service.
My parents already know her.
What?
Mi Ri is a guest relations manager, not in food & beverages, isn't she?
I think we were fated to meet.
I don't know.
All these coincidences. Aren't they a bit too frequent?
Hey, be nice.
She's the woman I've chosen.
Okay then.
Ah, the general affairs department left a message.
They said they would pack your stuff.
Really?
I'm grateful for everything you've done for me recently.
In words only?
Don't be like that.
Hee Joo.
Is your arm okay?
Yes, it's fine.
Then let me buy you dinner sometime.
Why?
Did something good happen to you?
Yes.
- Yesterday I asked Mi Ri... - Ah, Hee Joo.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Please go down first, General Manager. I'll be there soon.
Okay.
Apparently he proposed.
And Mi Ri accepted him.
I think Mi Ri kept it from you on purpose.
Yes.
I left early this morning, so I didn't see her.
You should forget about him.
I guess I should.
He just wasn't meant for you, that's all.
Okay, Oppa.
I'll forget about him.
It's not like I can do anything else.
Let's go.
You said you needed to go back to the hotel.
And I have piles of work I need to get back to. Let's go.
This is the new floor plan from onsite.
Uh... please excuse me for a second.
You have attractive traits as well, Hee Joo.
You're warm, you're considerate...
You're like an old familiar friend.
That's why I like you, Hee Joo.
So I want to be friends with you for a long time.
Please focus on checking these two sections.
My gosh!
Where did that ring come from?
Are they real diamonds?
What's up? Did something happen?
I think she's going to marry the Director!
W-What?
[Jang Myung Hoon]
It's just a formality, but it's the first visit since amalgamation, so please take extra care.
Okay.
Yes, Jang Mi Ri of Back Office speaking.
It's me.
Yes. I'm listening.
Come out for a minute. I have something to say.
What is this about?
It's not something to discuss over the phone.
I'm sorry, but I'm a little busy right now.
- This won't take long. I'll go over... - I'll call you later.
Min Gu!
- Yes, yes. - I need the inspection checklist.
Sure.
Excuse...
Yes.
General Manager Song Yu Hyun is here.
Fine.
Welcome. How have you been?
It's been a while.
Please come in.
Vacancies have decreased to 2% since the amalgamation.
Mondo's global network seems to be having a significant effect on business.
The publicity video using employees as models was very successful.
Thank you.
This is the Human Resources department office.
All the staff except housekeeping work in here.
Hello.
Yes, pleased to meet you.
Work hard.
- Yes. - Shall we go?
Here we have the planning team and the guest relations team.
Oh my! he's so cool!
This is the planning team, on this side.
Nice to meet you,
I'm Jo Eun Bom and I'm on the planning team.
I'm Song Yu Hyun. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Uh, I'm Kim Min Gu, planning team representative.
- Looking forward to working with you. - Yes.
This side is the guest relations team.
I'm Lee Hong Jun, guest relations team leader.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Jang Mi Ri, guest relations team manager.
Pleased to make your acquaintance, Jang Mi Ri.
The uniform looks good on you.
Thank you.
Director Jang?
Ah, yes.
Let's go to the club section.
Is this your first visit? I hope we didn't hurry through it too much.
Not at all.
I can easily see that everything is running smoothly under your management.
Thank you.
We've prepared a luncheon for you on the 20th floor of the hotel.
Actually, could we have lunch somewhere else?
Ah, sure.
I have some work to do, please go on ahead.
Wasn't it a little strange when they met,
I mean the Chief Director and Mi Ri?
Right, the expression on Director Jang's face was odd.
There can't be anything wrong.
I saw she's wearing an engagement ring.
Was she really?
Yes, I saw it for sure.
What's going on here?
Welcome, Madam. Please come this way.
Thank you.
Would you mind if I brought someone?
Of course not.
It is I who should be wondering if I should join in.
If you would,
you would make the occasion better with your presence.
With what you're saying to me,
I'm curious as to who this might be.
- Then, I'll see later. - Yes.
Hello?
I thought I should ask you before bringing a companion with me.
I see.
I'm getting curious about him,
since you treat him like your brother.
Please come this way.
She's in the powder room.
Could you wait here for a while?
Of course, take your time.
Omo!
I just stepped out to wash my hands.
We've been waiting.
Let's go.
I'm sorry you've waited.
No, don't mention it.
I believe you two should know each other already, but,
Director Jang, this is she whom I love.
These mushrooms are cooked well. Try them, here.
Okay.
Would you like some more wine?
No. Thanks.
By the way, I understand you're seeing someone.
It would have been better if she could be here too.
You see,
I met him at the jewelry shop when I went to buy the ring.
Ah, I see.
I'm just curious who she could be.
Aren't you, Mi Ri?
Yes.
I wonder what kind of work she might be doing.
She is doing the same thing as I.
Sounds great for you.
People doing the same job get married to each other more and more.
Did you meet her in the course of business?
Yes.
I imagine you have been able to help her here and there.
Yes. Kind of.
I'm expecting the same from Mi Ri. Like what's really going on at the hotel.
Don't you think, Mi Ri?
Yes.
- So I wonder if Mi Ri might know her...? - Oh! Oh!
Are you okay?
Oh, what have I done!
What if I'm not alright?
- I'm so sorry, let me... - I'm okay.
I think I need to be excused for a moment.
Yes, please take your time.
I'll be back.
When did you start seeing him?
The day I came back to Korea.
But we got close like this not long ago.
I didn't mean to deceive you.
But it took some time for me to make up my mind.
How can you say that?
So all long, it has been because of him,
that you've been avoiding me.
Yes.
I have.
I've thought about how to reveal this.
But I think it might be better this way.
This is who I am.
Just go on thinking this way.
Let us stop here.
I'm not going to say that I'm sorry.
I just wanted to...
I'm sorry, leaving you two like this.
Are you okay?
It's hard to wipe off.
I guess because it's red wine.
What shall I do?
It's okay.
Are you okay, Director Jang? You haven't eaten much.
Oh, I'm just fine.
I should've chosen some other place.
Oh no, I think I'm just feeling a little tired.
He should be tired today.
No matter what, from his point of view,
a visit from the owner must be tiring.
Even if you are easy-going.
I should have realized you might prefer to be relaxing at home.
It's careless of me to take so much of your time.
Thanks, Mi Ri, for that reminder.
This is why I should get her help even for this sort of function.
I was too eager to introduce her during this visit.
It's been a pleasure seeing you today.
Likewise.
I'd better ask you to go easy on my Mi Ri, from now on.
I will.
It's good for him that he has someone whom he would like to marry.
He went through a tough marriage,
being with one who was really out-of-sync with him.
Like the way we first met at the study dorm,
I hope his fate is good this time, don't you?
Mi Ri?
Pardon me?
Are you feeling okay?
Thing is, I was anxious back there with him.
I'm feeling tired now it's over.
Were you nervous back there?
I didn't notice.
He's my boss at work.
So I can't be relaxed with him.
Ah, I'm sorry.
I didn't think about that.
I just wanted to introduce my girlfriend to one who is like a brother to me.
Try to relax, I won't bother you anymore.
This is who I am.
Just go on thinking this way.
Let us stop here.
Hello, Foreman. Are you still...
What... what are you saying?
What? You're saying there's a drawing identical to ours?
[Director Jang Myung Hoon]
I just can't believe it's for real.
It is real.
I know this seems utterly ridiculous.
A thing like this is never supposed to happen.
You can think me bad.
You do that.
Say to yourself, how dare I do such things to you.
Then put this all behind you.
Why does it have to be this way?
It's me who changed.
You've done nothing wrong.
- Stop that, Mi Ri. - I don't want your understanding.
I know it's not something that can be understood.
Then, why are you doing this to me?
It's not just love I want.
There is much more that I want.
That is what leads me to this way.
This is what I am.
When I see something better, I run after it.
I can't help being what I am.
Please just think that I've gone out of my mind.
Mi Ri...
Consider that you were unlucky,
getting bitten by a crazy dog.
Go ahead and think that way.
And throw me out of your life.
Have you...
ever loved me?
I'm sorry.
I never loved you.
Not even once.
Sorry.
I can't stop myself from chasing after something like this.
I'm so sorry.
Aren't you going to do something?
If some other company runs a project with this drawing,
our losses will be huge.
Please calm down now, all.
Mondo can get itself out of this mess by calling off the construction,
but we builders would get screwed all over, taking a blow on our credibility.
What are you guys going to do about that?
That's it.
- Let's report this to Chief Director right now. - Ah, Oppa, wait!
Let's confirm this first.
Our panel has a fresh new face.
She has recently become a star figure around the universities.
Being a professor who impresses many students with her new way of lecturing.
And also being a coveted hotelier at a prestigious hotel.
We introduce to you, Professor Jang Mi Ri.
- Nice to meet you all. I'm Jang Mi Ri. - It's so great to have you here.
Thanks for having me.
Pretty, isn't she?
Right, look at these glorious achievements.
Majored in Literature at Tokyo University, minored in Architecture,
Manager of Hotel A, and Guest Lecturer for Hanguk University.
What is this?
Did you ask for her resume?
She brought it herself.
She might become permanent here.
I have learned now,
she was involved in that big case concerning the Japanese Prime Minister's daughter.
That should be reason enough for her to stay on the panel.
That would be fantastic.
See, I told you something is strange.
He's not answering the phone and not at work.
Did they break up or something?
Stop that.
You know your brother better than that, don't you?
Once is more than enough.
Right, seeing he has brought her before you,
this one seems to be different to me as well.
You, stop being silly.
Come put this thread through for me.
Come on, this kind of blanket is not used by new couples anymore these days.
It's way out of style, I'm telling you.
It's not just about being put into use.
It's all about the care this shows.
Is this all the Human Resources Department has on her?
Yes, Madam.
Check everything again.
From her birth to the present.
How she has been living,
who are her relatives,
how they are living...
Check everything you can.
Yes, Madam.
Oh, and about her name.
Find out how she got her name.
It's necessary to check since she is an orphan.
Yes, I will, Vice President.
Thank you, all!
- Good job! - Same to you
Hello?
Where are you?
Is it all done?
Yes. Ah, hello.
Ah, it's just finished right now.
Hi.
What?
Are you saying you're here right now?
Yes, I am.
Why? Am I not supposed to be here?
Sir, let's wait somewhere else.
Too many reporters here.
No. I don't think that's how I should behave for the one I love.
Nothing. Let's keep talking.
This is such a surprise!
Where are you?
I can't see you here.
Oh, Yu Hyun!
Why, you're here!
- Did you do it all right? - Here is the General Manager!
What brought you here?
Who is that person behind you?
Is she the one getting the flowers?
Please give us your comments!
Wouldn't this give them something to write about?
Don't worry, I'm sure they didn't get your face.
By the way, why are you here?
I just wanted to see you.
I'd like to take you somewhere.
I think it'd be better to go to the top now.
It might get scary, but hang in there.
Let's go.
Where are we going, with this riding in a helicopter?
Let's buckle up first.
Yes.
Like this way?
Here you are!
Am I looking okay?
Are you ready for this?
Let us take off!
I really wanted to introduce you.
My mother.
She is here.
Let's get going.
Wait! Just a minute!
You could have told me in advance.
Then, I would have brought much prettier flowers than these.
Don't worry.
They are pretty enough, with your caring heart.
We are here, Mom.
Something wrong?
No, nothing.
Are you crying?
No, I'm not.
I wonder why I think of my mother,
as I stand in front of yours.
Do you miss her?
Once in a while.
But it really gets to me.
Did I just say that in a strange way?
No, you didn't.
I understand all you mean.
Where she might be living,
if she is still alive at all,
and if she is, why she is not trying to reach me...
Actually, I came to Korea to see my mom again.
Then, without noticing it,
I'm living now totally forgetting about that.
Can you recognize her? Even after all those years?
She wouldn't recognize me either.
I don't know why I'm longing to see her,
when I don't even remember her face.
I am old enough.
And things are not so hard, after all.
That's because she's your mother.
That's what mothers are to us.
Now, you, look at me when you want to see your mother.
I'll be your mother and the mountain to lean on, for you.
Let's live leaning on each other like that.
Leaning to me, and I leaning to you.
Mom!
Where could she have gone, dragging her ailing body?
But, for this one...
I'm sorry, I'm late.
Are you trying to stress me to death?
Where have you been?
We're so sorry.
He's been absent for a few days.
That's okay.
I heard you've been busy these days.
Yes, I have.
I heard you've referred some Japanese guests to us again.
Yes. All ten of them.
They are directorial members of Japan Businessmen's Association.
I appreciate your ongoing business with us.
Shall we start, now?
Goodness, what is happening here?
Oh no.
This can't be.
He's never done this kind of thing before.
Even arranging the right beverages for the guests, I really thank you for everything.
Please, don't mention it.
I heard you opened a new branch in Fukuoka recently?
Yes, with help from everybody.
Is that the new publicity video?
Yes, it is.
Is she?
Yes, she is Jang Mi Ri.
She is one of the staff in charge of guest services at our hotel.
I'm wondering, is she from Fukuoka?
Yes, she is.
I have to excuse myself first, here.
I'm just wondering,
do you happen to know her?
Oh, that. Excuse me.
It should be here somewhere. Let me see.
Here it is! Take a look at this.
Doesn't she look a lot like her?
I happened to be in Nakasu.
I think I might have seen her there.
You know Nakasu, right?
The night entertainment district in Fukuoka, I mean.
