See You at Work Tomorrow! (내일도 출근!)

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION

CHILD ACTORS WERE FILMED SAFELY WITH SUPERVISION

How was your last relationship?

It was a fail.

Still, I did learn something from it.

What did you learn?

"Don't fool yourself into thinking that love can change a person."

Then why did you want to take it all the way to marriage?

I fooled myself into thinking

that marriage would solve all our problems.

That he'd fully become "my person."

And that I'd be freed from my loneliness.

What type of person would you like to date next?

Maybe someone who's grounded.

Someone I don't have to babysit.

Are you a grounded person?

Yes.

Actually, why are you still standing?

I didn't have time to work out.

Oh, right.

You're not married, correct?

I have been.

Sorry?

Then how do you think

that experience affected your next relationship?

I'd say it made me fear love.

Will you have a go at love again?

- Not sure. - Not sure.

I like you.

I like you too.

In the beginning,

it feels like everything will go well.

You picture the happy moments

rather than the hard parts.

I'm probably fooling myself again.

That much I'm sure.

But what can I do?

That's the magic of love. You just start all over again.

EPISODE 7 HAVE A NEW SECRET, STILL CLOCKING IN!

ALARM

Good morning!

MANAGER KANG SI-WOO

GOOD MORNING!

A new relationship has begun.

Why is my skin so rough?

I can't allow this.

Today's a big day.

Look at that baby-smooth skin.

Are you okay missing your run?

I did run.

But it's only 7:30 a.m.

I woke up at 5 a.m.

What's all this?

Some red ginseng to boost immunity

and some supplements for women's health as well.

Set an alarm and take them every day.

Thank you.

Since today's a day to celebrate.

You didn't leave the flowers at home.

I'll put them on my desk and look at them all day.

How do you want to go about it at work?

I think it's best we keep it a secret.

Why?

If people find out about us,

they won't see us as just boss and subordinate anymore.

When we're together, they'll say, "Are they here to work or date?"

When we're apart, "Did they fight?"

You can compliment me or tell me off,

they'll see it with prejudice either way.

I don't want to feel self-conscious at work.

Once it becomes a secret, we'll have to lie a lot.

I'm good at lying.

I hid the fact that I like you, remember?

Did you?

Did it show?

Let's keep it a secret if you want, Ms. Ji-yoon.

"Ms. Ji-yoon."

I like it when you call me that.

Then would you call me that way too, Ms. Ji-yoon?

"Mr. Si-woo"?

I think I need a bit more time for that.

You can drop me off over there.

Why? There's still a long way to go.

Could you be a little careful, Mr. Kang?

This is how it goes at work.

You're having lunch with us today, right?

Should we make an excuse and go eat by ourselves?

I'm sorry.

I still have some work to do.

Go ahead without me.

But I want to eat with you.

We keep a poker face even when sending these messages,

like it's just work.

Mr. Kang, shall we go for lunch?

I'll eat alone today.

But it was great having you eat with us lately.

Can't you eat and then work?

Let's not bother him and go on our own.

Okay.

So nothing's really changed between us.

- Then we'll go and eat. - Okay.

Well, maybe a little bit.

He doesn't wear a ring…

I don't think he's married.

Does he have a girlfriend?

Who?

Mr. Kang.

He's practically office furniture. When would he have time to date?

Do you know anything, Ms. Cha?

Not really.

I don't really pay

that much attention to him.

Lie number one.

Of course.

She and I have zero romantic energy left, so we wouldn't know.

Huh? How come?

Ms. Cha is all dressed up nicely today

and even came in with flowers.

What was that, by the way?

Is there some good news?

No.

I just wore this before it grew mold from sitting in the closet.

And the flowers were

a spur-of-the-moment purchase on my way to work.

- You bought flowers for yourself? - Yeah.

But why? Man, that's so sad.

Hey, have some meat.

Here.

You can have all of my tangsuyuk.

There it is again. Another lie.

You know we're here for you, right?

We're here, sir.

I wonder if he's eaten.

Mr. Kang, have you eaten?

I'll eat after the meeting.

He's going to pass out at that rate.

I know work's important, but you shouldn't skip meals.

This is Dubai Chewy Cookie.

Have one, sir.

I'm not into sweets. Someone else should have it.

I love Dubai Chewy Cookie.

This is super hard to get. I'll have that, thanks.

I went through so much trouble to get it! How could you snatch it away like that?

Let's start the meeting.

A month from now, we'll invite overseas buyers and hold a Home-AI demo.

How can we do a demo in just a month?

We have nothing prepared yet.

Unlike other products, Home-AI is all about the experience.

We need a demo to spot the issues and fix them.

Yes, the timeline is tight,

but prepare it like it's our final check before launch.

So that means we're going to be very busy.

Even so, presenting this project within a month is pushing it.

When does test production for the living appliances finish?

Everything except the washing machine should be wrapped up soon.

Could you get brochures ready within a month?

Brochures? That's more than doable.

And the kitchen appliances?

I haven't even had a meeting yet, so we have a long way to go.

That means only you have to pick up the pace, Ms. Cha.

As long as everyone does their part well,

I'll handle coordinating the rest.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Ms. Cha, please come to the product showroom

after this meeting.

Yes, sir.

A demo?

Yeah.

They're even inviting overseas buyers.

If President Han delivers real results with that,

then the Vice President can kiss the next President spot goodbye.

And our side will be totally finished.

That can't happ...

We can't let that happen.

- Got any dirt on Kang going? - Well, not so much yet…

Why are you just sitting there? Go find something.

And figure out a way to sabotage the demo while you're at it.

But if we sabotage the demo, won't that hurt the company too?

Why?

You think a company this big will collapse because of one little demo?

If the demo fails, we can just dump all the blame

on Han U-jin and Kang Si-woo and take Home-AI for ourselves.

And set up a meeting with that guy we talked about.

Yes, sir.

Why did you call me here, sir?

To give you more work, of course.

You've already assigned me an excessive workload.

There's more?

You seem to have complaints.

I can't say I don't.

For once, I wanted to take my time

and produce something high-quality.

What's the biggest problem with the kitchen side of things?

It's Mr. Ko.

He never responds no matter how much I ask for cooperation.

Then I'll take care of that for you.

How?

I'll use the President card.

That's why we're reporting to her directly.

You said you'd let your work speak for itself,
