Then are you planning to give up on purchasing the remaining companies?
There's no way we can abandon our affiliates.
And even so, this is too different from your original proposal.
We understand.
But unfortunately, we recently got our hands on some financial reports
for Maeda Motors and its seven affiliated companies.
It appears the accounts for the last two years have been heavily manipulated.
I'm sure none of you, nor Mr. Mitsuyoshi for that matter
would want this to become public knowledge.
I have no plans to abandon your affiliates.
However, we'll discuss the details further in Korea
once the final audit is complete.
Good day, gentlemen.

SEDUCING MR. PERFECT
I like the city.
I get my full share of nature at organic restaurants.
Coffee, shopping, entertainment!
This is my beloved trinity.
If I had an overflowing mileage card, I'd travel to all the world's cities.
And then one day, my chance came.
My boyfriend's business trip to Hong Kong.
So I decided to call in sick and go along with him.
A secret rendezvous, plus exploring the city... all in one go!
But that day... he never showed up.
And his cell phone was switched off.
Is it possible to find a love that won't make me lonely?
That makes me warm and happy?
And is this man the true love I'm looking for?
Oh, damn...
How could you stop like that all of a sudden?
What are you smirking about?
Oops... Gosh, I'm sorry. I didn't see it.
Look, I don't have time for this, so give me your business card.
Huh?
Your business card.
What, you don't speak English?
No! I don't speak English. Not a word!
Then give me your phone number.
Oh, gosh... I have no idea what you're saying.
Phone number!
Hello? Jun-hyoung?
Sorry, it's Sun-young.
How was the trip?
Trip, my ***...
I got stood up in Hong Kong.
What? That punk disappeared again?
He'll call today. It's his birthday.
Hey, is the appendix on the right or left?
I told the company I was getting my appendix removed.
I'll call you back.
What are you doing?
Huh?
What do you think you're doing?
Now I have your picture. I have your phone number.
I'll call you with the bill.
Hey, look!
Erase the photo. My photo!
Hey,
I said erase the photo! Hello?
Hey ***!
Ms. Kim, did the surgery go well?
Surgery?... Sure...
While you were at it, you should've removed some belly fat.
Looks like you got a tire around your waist.
Jesus!
Don't take it so hard! I wish I had some belly fat.
I think it's cute. Tadpole belly...
Wait, while you were gone, there was some big news!
The new branch president flew in from the U.S. headquarters.
Wasn't he supposed to arrive later? And what about the director?
He was just a temporary appointment.
A fox sleeping in a tiger's cave...
Anyway, my point is,
the new guy's specs are out of this world.
Specs?
His name's Robin Heiden, age 31.
Harvard Law School, and of course an MBA.
He speaks 5 languages, and is an expert in M&As.
Headquarters sees him as potential CEO material.
Isn 't it fantastic?
That's good, Steven. OK.
This is June from the M&A team. She will be your assistant, starting today.
Assistant?
She's been in charge of research on the Maeda company.
June, introduce yourself.
Nice to meet you.
It's a pleasure to see you again.
I am so sorry. I was so confused this morning, I...
If you find English difficult,
please feel free to speak Korean.
Pardon me?
Just speak in Korean!
He understands Korean quite well.
Though he finds speaking a bit challenging.
So from now on, he'll speak English
and we will speak Korean.
Respecting each other's language and raising our work efficiency.
Isn't his suggestion just perfect for this global era?
By the way, Ms. June?
Yes?
It says here you took a sick leave for an appendix removal.
Is the left side of your stomach okay?
Yes, it's fine.
That's good. By the way, the appendix is on the right side.
You'll have to excuse me. I have an appointment to catch.
So I will see both of you at the party tonight.
June, you've met him before?
No, we just said hi in the elevator...
But why was I chosen?
How would I know?
He singled you out himself.
Singled me out?
And by the way...
Tonight's the party, can you go dressed like that?
Remember tonight's the party.
Ms. June, do you have a different party to attend to later tonight?
What?
Yes, my friends are having a wine party.
You actually look quite nice in that dress, I'm surprised.
Thank you!
It'll come in handy in your mission later tonight.
My mission?
See those two men over there in striped ties?
Oh, those two?
They're Englishmen.
I see them.
They're with Remix Holdings our competitor in the Maeda deal.
Mr. Mitsuyoshi is here tonight, he's the president of Maeda.
So I need you to get as close as possible to them.
Pretend that you can't speak English.
And find out everything you can about their meeting with Mitsuyoshi.
That's your mission.
Wait, you're saying... So you want me to spy on them?
Isn't corporate data collection your specialty, Ms. June?
You were so good this morning at pretending you couldn't speak English.
But that was... this morning was...
Robin! Well look who we have here?
Hey, Nancy.
Go ahead.
So I get the work, and you get to have fun?
Am I some sort of James Bond?
Oh my god, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, Are you OK?
It's quite alright, these things happen. Are you alright?
I am alright. I am sorry.
Have yourself a good evening then.
You too. i'm sorry.
June, you're really on a roll tonight.
What should I do? I blew my cover.
What?
I spoke in English!
***!
What do I do now?
Figure it out!
Steal their documents, if you have to!
Jesus!
I didn't expect to meet you here.
But I'm sure you're well aware of those facts.
Of course. It's my job to know the facts. You know?
By the way, who's the chap over here talking to the president?
You don't think he's with the competition, do you?
I wouldn't worry.
Nobody knows the president's at the party except for us.
And besides, our real rivals are the Americans, not that yellow monkey.
Remix Holdings seems to be in a slump lately...
And there's a rumor that your interests were at stake,
since the failed merger with Neutreal Company...
is that true?
Well, there'll be a big deal for us too, soon.
Oh really? I knew that!
Oh, don't worry. I'm not here to give a report. You don't have to worry.
Off the record?
Of course! Off the record!
Vision?
Ripping a company apart and selling it off... is that your vision?
Very well.
Bypassing the board and attempting insider trading with Remix Holdings...
Is that your vision?
I'll show you real vision. Wait and see.
Well that was well done, Ms. June.
I did not expect you to obtain such classified information like that.
Well done? It was their own piksari.
Piksari? What's that?
It was their own mistake... their fault!
Sorry, I still don't...
F.A.U.L.T... Fault!
Oh! Fault! Fault.
You have to enunciate that.
This is why I can't stand foreigners.
Yes it is true...
In business, one man's loss is another man's gain...
Doing business like this, I'll soon be a swindler.
The way I see it, you seem to have a special talent for deception.
Huh?
That's a compliment, from me.
All right, then how about this kind of business?
Since I scored one today, let's call the car issue tungchigi.
- Okay? - Tungchigi? What's that?
It means, let's forget it.
Absolutely not. That's personal.
Nothing to do with business.
You stingy...
My phone!
Hello, Jun-hyoung?
Boyfriend?
Never mind. This is personal.
Privacy!
The phone is off now, you have to record...
You know if he calls and hangs up, but doesn't answer your calls,
he's hiding something.
On what basis are you saying that?
That's what I do when I cheat.
If you don't believe me, try again.
Why don't you get out?
I don't want advice from a man who's had affairs across the globe,
but has never experienced true love.
True love, huh?
What exactly is this 'true love' you're referring to?
***!
Like being hit in the heart by a bullet... do you know that feeling?
A bullet?
I was hit by a bullet once, but from a real gun.
Oh yes, of course you were.
True love means to share your hearts,
and not be lonely,
to be warm, happy, that sort of thing.
There's no such thing.
There is!
Where is it?
Here!
Then why is it, Ms. June, that when I look at you,
I see anything but a happy person?
Let's go! I'll buy you dinner.
Thanks, but I have a very important date.
Have a nice evening.
Hello.
Hey, June!
I'll catch up with you.
So you had a wild night on your boyfriend's birthday?
What are you talking about?
Why deny it? We've pulled all-nighters at work before.
I can tell from the way you look.
I didn't even get to see his face, so lay off!
What? You stayed out all night, but didn't meet your boyfriend?
Is he cheating on you or something?
God, don't try to jinx me!
What did I tell you last night?
The man has something to hide.
You two like rubbing salt in my wounds, huh?
- He said he'd be there soon. - Okay.
Get yourself something good to eat.
All right.
I'm not his assistant, I'm a slave.
He could have given me this work earlier.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
I only regret one thing from my past two failed relationships.
Why couldn't I have acted with more intelligence?
With style, and grace!
That's what I'll do.
How could you do this to me?
You ***!
Tell me, you jerk! How could you do that?
Ma'am.
Don't touch her!
- Honey, who is this lady? - What?
Please, you can't do this here. Can you discuss this outside?
Jun-hyoung, you can't do this to me. Let's go home, okay?
Why do you always act like this?
Can't you give me some space?
What?
You're the one who made me this way, you know?
Don't call me anymore.
Let's go.
I'm sorry.
Hi?
Why have I been dumped three times now?
Because you don't know the rules.
- Rules? - The rules of the game!
Love isn't like playing Starcraft, you know.
Yes, it is.
It's actually a game that requires even greater precision and planning.
A game of power.
Manipulations of emotions to control the mind... That's the game.
Oh, it is a game.
It's a game where the one who displays affection first,
gives up total control and goes around like a dog on a collar.
In relationships, you were the one to call first,
and he was the one to hang up first, right?
Right.
And when you got together, you'd always run to him
and you always give him gifts on anniversaries, only you, right?
Right! How did you know that?
I know because these are the consequences
of dating without any self respect, Ms. June.
That's how I know.
So take my advice, and this is sincere, so listen to me.
If you continue acting like this, being so... pathetic,
you will always be treated like trash by men.
And you'll grow old... all by yourself.
Apologize!
What would I be apologizing for?
I've never apologized for anything in my life.
What's wrong with admitting that I love him?
What's wrong with calling or visiting him because I'm worried?
What's wrong with wanting to do everything for him?
What?
I'll be treated like trash all my life?
Screw you!
I could have a line of guys begging for me if I wanted.
I could, but I don't. You know why?
You could? Then make me beg for you.
If you succeed, I will apologize on my knees.
A woman who was just dumped needs a shoulder to cry on, not a critic.
'It's not your fault.'
'He just wasn't the right guy for you'
A friend who can say this.
Have you been drinking?
One bottle of beer.
Not a case of beer?
Why are your eyes so swollen?
Dad, my friends are all scared of their fathers,
but why do I feel like we're friends?
We're both getting old together, maybe that's why.
What are you looking at?
Something your mom gave me,
exactly 34 years ago.
Mom? My mom?
Why, hard to believe?
I can't believe it either.
Adults should set an example for their children.
Throwing trash everywhere,
the whole town is a trash can.
- You're here? - Mom...
When did you arrive?
Just before.
What happened to your face? Were you drinking again?
No, what do you mean?
- Dad... about what you... - What's gotten into you?
You ***.
Why did I like you? You're nice.
Why did I stop liking you? Cause you're nice.
Nice people are boring.
When did I ever ask you for an allowance?
Getting meals is embarrassing enough. Do you think you're my mom?
Can't you give me some space?
You're the one who made me do this.
You'll always be treated like trash by men, like a showgirl.
And you'll grow old... all by yourself.
What kind of nightmare is that?
Just you wait, Robin Heiden.
I'm going to make you beg on your knees to me.
Hello? Mi-hwa?
In most wars, the weapons are guns and missiles.
But in this kind of war, they're the newest hairstyles and dresses.
A beautiful weapon that will make the enemy's heart pound.
Let's see who the winner is.
Ms. June?
Okay, I've got you now.
Yes?
Is that your grandmother's dress?
It's very similar to my grandmother's pajamas.
First operation, failed.
This time, it's Operation Angel.
I'll give you the hand of evil lurking behind an angel's smile.
Would you like some coffee, sir?
June, did you clean up my office?
Bingo!
It was a bit messy, so I...
Just when did I ask you to do that?
Yes?
Where is the uniform?
What uniform?
Oh, that!
I gave it to the cleaning lady.
ring it back to me, right now!!
Operation Angel, failed.
Jeonjeon Industrial Machinery?
Thank you.
Then, I'll handle this as you requested.
Yes.
Special measures need to be taken. Bolder, more powerful!
If physical warfare is ineffective, turn to psychological warfare.
Hi.
Why are you here?
Well, I...
I need to talk to you.
This couldn't wait until tomorrow?
I want to die!
You what?
Request his counsel on difficult matters and bring out his soft side...
Here we go!
So what did you want to talk about?
I guess you were right, sir.
Whenever I fall in love, I become a complete idiot.
I can't continue this way much longer.
What should I do?
Are you listening to me?
I'm listening. Keep going...
So help me, would you?
With what?
Last time you said love is a game.
Teach me the rules of the game.
I can't do that!
You can't?
That's right. I said I can't!
Why?
Why can't you? What's the reason?
The reason?
It's because it's impossible to upgrade from a 386 system to a Pentium.
Your brain might stop functioning, from a fatal error.
Are you telling me that my brain is a 386?
When a piece of stock has no future,
you have to know when to cut your losses and when to sell.
Relationships are the same,
if there's nothing left to salvage, you cut your losses and you sell.
Ms. June, how do you expect me to teach you anything
if you don't even know the basics.
The 386 got waterlogged and totally malfunctioned.
What now?
It must really pain you to pay a high salary to a soggy 386.
Where are you going?
The soggy 386 is going to withdraw.
Good night.
Ms. Min-june.
Let me make a suggestion.
What is he up to?
You want June to take charge of the deal?
What's wrong with assigning a job to an employee?
Nothing.
It's just that Brian is familiar with the whole project...
Brian, do you still want to be in charge of this project, too?
Yes, of course I do!
O K. then.
I think the two of you should come up with a strategy for the Brighton deal.
The one with a better concept will take charge.
No problems then?
Yoon-mi.
Hold on. Yes?
The meeting's not over yet?
It seems like it will take a bit longer.
Furthermore, the valuation report in an information memorandum
produced by Brighton had applied the value marked prior to the modification.
I believe a discount of 10% is feasible. That's all.
Good! Next!
I think the appropriate line of negotiation
is about 30% lower than the price they suggest.
So you are planning to increase the rate by 20%?
Yes. That's possible.
According to an insider from GS Bank,
Stanley, one of the main shareholders of Brighton,
has disposed all of his shares in an equity swap deal.
Gosh, I can't believe it.
Me getting such a big deal.
Did you see their faces during my presentation?
It's a bit presumptuous of me to say this...
But don't you think I really did a great job?
Don't assume anything until the contract's signed.
Jeez...
What's wrong?
I feel bad about it.
About what?
I don't know. I just feel sorry for him.
You see that. That is another reason why men leave you.
What?
Listen to me very carefully.
Your indecisiveness, your being overly sensitive,
will not only damage your love life but your career as well.
Damn you...
The operations must go on.
No matter what.
- What are you doing? - You scared me.
What are you doing now?
I'm packing lunch.
Don't you think I can see that?
Why are you doing it so seriously?
I'm out to catch a yellow monkey.
What?
Fatten yourself up.
I'm going to catch and eat you.
Yoon-mi, did the president go somewhere?
He went out a little while ago. Why?
Nothing.
Yoon-mi, where did you get this?
Oh, Robin said I could have it.
What?
Some air-headed *** must be hitting on him.
She ought to stay within her league.
I wonder what's inside.
What's wrong with you, Miss Kim?
Yoon-mi, do you suppose I could have this?
What?
Why should you have it? It's mine.
Give it back.
Miss Kim!
Miss Kim.
Miss Kim.
What's with you? Miss Kim!
Miss Kim!
Miss Kim!
Do you have to be so persistent?
Miss Kim!
Miss Kim!
Are you OK, sir?
Yeah! Sorry about that. Yeah
I'm so embarrassed. My god.
Where could it have gone? Where did it fall out?
Hi, Sun-young.
Today? What's the occasion?
A blind date?
I'm leaving.
Hey. Sit down, will you?
Sun-young, I appreciate your thought,
but I'm not that desperate yet.
Not that desperate?
Look, are you still not over that ***?
Don't call Jun-hyoung a ***.
Okay fine, 'Jun-hyoung'.
Aren't you over him yet?
I don't know.
Hey, wake up, will you?
Just look at my marriage.
Love. Romance. Sounds great when you're young.
But later, money is love, and money is romance.
So listen to me today for once.
The guy coming today is a friend of my brother-in-law.
He just passed the bar exam.
And he's a real wholesome guy, too.
Even his name, Jin-guk, means 'wholesome.'
Excuse me...
Are you Ms. Park Sun-young?
- Good evening. - Good evening.
Good evening, sir!
Good evening, Annie. How are you?
I'm very good. How are you?
Good, good.
So what would you like to order?
Just the normal for me, please.
O K.
Since my family is from Gyeongju,
we'd need a bus for the wedding.
It's customary for the bride's family to arrange this, no?
I'd be happy to pay, of course, but according to custom...
Right?
You're right, of course!
And a hotel would be best for me and Min-june's guests.
Oh, a hotel? That's just fabulous.
Don't you think, Min-june?
That's right. Fabulous.
That's so funny.
Min-june, do you ever consult fortune tellers?
Fortune tellers? I love having my fortune told!
In fact there is a Taoist who we always consult for family affairs.
Excuse me, I'll just visit the restroom.
Oh yes, empty yourself to your heart's content.
How can I escape this?
How could she do this to me?
What does he want at this time of day?
- Hello? - Hello?
Yes, sir.
Where are you?
In the bathroom.
I'm near the office.
What time is it?
He calls me to ask that? My god.
It's 8: 10pm.
Where are you and what are you doing?
I'm on an arranged date, why?
Arranged what?
Date! A blind date!
What?
What are you screaming about?
Ms. June.
Huh?
Do I need to remind you whose idea it was to meet at the hotel bar at 7:00?
God, not again.
Do I look like a man who has time to spare?
Hello, hello?
Damn, I need to change my phone.
Can't the battery last even a day?
I know that place! I can't believe it.
- Really? - What a coincidence!
Sorry, Sun-young. I'll leave him to you.
No matter how hard you try, I can still take you.
No way! You think I'm still a high school boy?
I'm a man now!
Hey, hold it a sec.
Do we really need to do this over a measly three dollars?
You could've given me the cash, but you wanted to wrestle for it.
You little punk!
So who's calling in the dead of night?
- Hello? Hello? - Give it to me, you...
Hello?
Why don't you say something?
Hello? I'm really busy right now,
if you aren't going to speak, please call me later.
Sorry.
You can't-just-jump in from behind!
Whatever. I'm not interested in him, so you take care of it.
What about the meeting of the families?
Families?
Hey, is he crazy or what?
You're the crazy one!
I've got a call. Let's talk later.
Min--june!
Hello?
What happened to the Maeda Contract?
Yes, sir.
The legal department is still sorting through it.
Well I want it done, before noon!
Why don't you just eat me alive?
Oh, that's good news. Yeah.
No, I knew it was going to happen,
I just didn't know it was going to happen so quickly.
I didn't know he was going to cave in, right.
Well, that's good work, Steven. That's very good.
And send my regards to Jennifer.
O K. Bye bye!
I'm sorry. The report you wanted...
When did you come in?
Just now.
Don't you ever knock?.
I did. Twice, even.
- Can that be true? - I'm telling you, it is.
This is based on the information we have acquired to date.
By the way, when will you start the real lesson, master?
Are you aware that you are the person in charge of the Maeda account?
Yes?
Maeda Motors sought legal action to cover up their fraud over a week ago.
Did you know about this?
It's the first time I've heard of it.
It's your first time?
Then what have you been doing all week?.
Do it again.
Have it back to me by tomorrow.
Hello. Hi, Jennifer.
Hi Jennifer!
Oh, Ms. Kim.
How is this dress?
