Undercover Miss Hong (언더커버 미쓰홍)

UNDERCOVER MISS HONG

Stay still.

- Hurry up and hand these out too. - Yes, sir.

- Is it centered? - It's perfect right now.

Hey, this is backwards.

You're looking into a mirror.

Oh, you're right. "Over my dead body."

But if I'm being honest, I support financial reforms.

All of it needs to be upended.

What is it?

What's that around your head?

Does it make me look old?

Man, you're something else.

Look at you, clawing your way back to the head office to save your ass.

How dare you suck on a candy in front of the director?

My roommate told me to eat one at a time like this.

You got a problem?

Share if you have extra.

What's this?

Resignation…

Hey, kid.

That's just how things are in the real world.

You need to know how to own your failures...

Who said I failed?

I'm not done yet.

Why you…

Please process my resignation quickly. I'll be off.

What?

Hey, take this back…

Stop! Hong Keum-bo!

Hold on!

Stop her!

Hong Keum-bo! Hong Keum-bo! You can't resign!

Not over my dead body!

Did Ms. Hong just resign?

Yeah.

She quit.

Why is she quitting?

She must be getting married. That has to be it.

An older single woman would only quit like that

when she's getting married.

Taxi!

- Damn it. - Hong!

Sir, take me to Hanmin's head office. I'll pay you double.

Hong, wait! Stop!

- -

- Oh no. - Why you…

I'm coming with you.

Damn it! Who said you could quit?

- Put your seat belt on. - What? Seat belt?

Who cares about seat belts right now?

Why won't this pull out?

Hey, are you protesting because things didn't go your way?

This country's economy is in peril.

Nobody cares about a chairman embezzling money.

They're not going to pursue it!

How can you not understand that?

Given the economic crisis,

they're willing to let charges like illegal slush funds and tax evasion slide.

Turning a blind eye like this only lets the big crooks run wild.

The higher-ups letting them slide are basically accomplices.

Accomplices?

You must be joking. Watch it!

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT 300 BILLION WON

KANG PIL-BEOM

All right.

DANIEL KEVIN LEE

KANG PIL-BEOM

Here.

My goodness.

Thank you.

- Great. - Thank you, sir.

It was a pleasure.

- - Thanks.

Chairman Kang won't change his mind now that the smoke's cleared, right?

Hanmin can't even cover the promissory notes due in two weeks.

They keep up appearances,

but they're a house of cards at this point.

Even now,

I think your decision to target Korea next was spot-on.

I guess you enjoyed the report from the "advance scout."

Most definitely.

Chairman Kang may try to rein us in later,

given that he's naturally distrustful.

I'll have the shell company we set up start buying up bonds as well.

Okay.

Are there any issues like someone you're wary of?

There was someone,

but I took care of it.

The IMF crisis has emerged

as a major variable, shaking up the 15th presidential election.

The candidates continue to fiercely debate over who bears responsibility,

calling for a reckoning within both parties and pressing voters

to demand accountability at the ballot box.

Experts say major variables

will remain in flux until the election's final days.

As we reach the final stretch…

I'm going to become a major variable.

Sir, you can drop me off up ahead,

and please drive him back to the FSS.

Where are we, huh? Hey, where are we?

What about the fare? I didn't bring my wallet.

Just call Nam Dong-gi down once you've arrived at the office.

Hey! Hold on a second.

- Sir, can't you roll the window down? - Bye.

Hey, wait! Hong!

I hope you trip and fall!

Hong Keum-bo!

CLASH OF THE TITANS

I went into the FSS today

and saw Hong Keum-bo.

It's her.

She's the one that came to the auto shop with Chairman Kang's grandson.

Really?

She came in today and handed in her resignation.

People were talking about her getting married or something.

Her boss followed her out and begged her to stay,

but she never looked back once.

She must've known it was a lost cause.

It seems she's not a complete idiot.

But how does Hong Keum-bo and Albert Oh

know each other?

Well?

Should I dig deeper into Hong Keum-bo?

What could she possibly do without her title?

No.

Her car must have been there for a reason.

Try tailing Albert.

We need concrete evidence to get rid of Albert

and ensure a sure push for Nora as the next president.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This is your new employment contract.

Even amid difficult economic conditions,

we fought to preserve jobs for our female staff,

but the recent round of restructuring was an inevitable decision.

We hope you understand that these new measures are designed

to strengthen internal cohesion and help prevent future layoffs.

"Contract employment. Terminable at any time."

"One female employee for three divisions."

So they'll work us to the bone, huh?

After stamping your seal or thumbprint, leave the contracts here

and return to your divisions.

Collect them and bring them to me.

Yes, ma'am.

Being away from your post too long will reflect poorly on all of us.

Stamp your seals and return at once.

What if it didn't burn?

By the will of the heavens, it ended up in my hands.

Not a chance, Queen Bee.

You'll be laden with honors if you return with that.

No.

I'm going to steal it all.

Are you in?

You're not reporting it to the FSS?

I already did, but the higher-ups have no intention to pursue it.

Given that we're in an economic crisis,

corporate corruption is apparently off the table.

The higher-ups are always the issue.

I want to steal all of this money

to oust the corrupt controlling shareholder and complicit executives,

and save Hanmin's employees.

You saw the ledger, so you know I can't do it alone.

You said you only went after dirty money.

Then again, Hanmin's slush fund

is the dirtiest money I've ever seen.

You have three days to decide. I hope you're in.

Also,

I can stay with Mi-sook tonight.

I'm off to work now.

HONG…

Didn't you say Hong Keum-bo would return to the FSS on December 8th?

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

I have that kid to blame for my migraine right now.

She showed up at the office today

and threw a resignation letter in my face.

A resignation letter?

Director Yun.

Are you sure you're not hatching another plan?

You put her to work again, didn't you?

Why you little…

You think she'd listen to me?

Don't you know her?

I wouldn't even be talking if I had some sort of decent plan.

What could she even do there by herself?

She's just being stubborn right now!

Don't get me riled up. It's making my headache worse.

She won't even answer my calls right now.

Can you just sweet-talk her into coming back here?

- Director Yun! - Just utilize your charm.

I'm sure you can do it.

Jeez, could you be any more frustrating?

Damn it.

SUCCESS WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU
