Love Scout (나의 완벽한 비서)

THE CHARACTERS, INSTITUTIONS COMPANIES, AND PLACES

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTIONAL

The child

your father saved.

That was me.

What

are you talking about?

In the apartment I lived in,

there was a big fire.

The door to my room was blocked, so I couldn't escape.

Someone came to save me.

Before the building collapsed,

he handed me over to the firefighters…

He saved my life.

So I had been searching for his family.

I recently found out his name.

Mr. Kang Kyung-tae.

Are you sure?

Did you really verify it?

It doesn't make sense.

How could you…

How…

That's impossible.

I need some time alone.

You should go.

Why is it you of all people?

Why?

I resented my dad so much.

I hated him so much.

I wish

you hadn't told me.

You should've kept me in the dark.

How will I…

I…

How am I supposed to look at you from now on?

I will wait

until you had enough time to think.

I WILL WAIT UNTIL YOU HAD ENOUGH TIME TO THINK.

Why are you wearing sunglasses all of a sudden?

Did you get a stye?

The sun is strong today.

What? It's awfully cloudy.

Eun-ho.

Eun-ho?

Can I have a minute with you?

Okay.

A month?

I knew you wouldn't be worried about it.

You've been too busy dating that you lost track of time.

We agreed on six months at the beginning.

So you have a little more than a month.

You might need some time to think about it.

That's why I brought it up early.

I see. Thank you.

We also agreed that you could look for another job.

Don't hesitate to let me know if you want to change jobs.

Of course,

I'd love to make you stay and keep working with you.

That's only what I want.

Discuss it with Ji-yun before deciding.

Okay.

I'll think about it and let you know.

Gosh.

Ji-yun might not want to stay away from you.

She might keep you working here.

Let me know when you're ready.

This is Jang Seo-young with a background in law.

After working at Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office,

she was on the legal team at Haeseon Electronics.

Currently, she's the CEO at an IT company.

She's known for her expertise in risk management.

The last candidate is Oh Min-seok.

After studying law,

he was certified as a lawyer at Herald Law School.

After working in mergers and acquisitions at a major law firm in Korea,

he became the youngest CEO at a game company three years ago.

All of them fit the requirements we wanted.

Let's meet them individually.

Mr. Yu, please arrange the meetings.

Yes, ma'am.

Meeting's over.

Meeting's over.

Good job, everyone.

KANG JI-YUN, CEO

Jeong-nam.

Oh, Mr. Kim!

Over here.

You got much younger than before.

From afar, I thought you were a college student.

That must be why people were staring at me.

- Sit down. - Please have a seat.

- You grilled the meat so well. - Thank you.

How have you been?

When you left the company like that, I felt terrible.

Actually,

I'm in a different field now.

It wasn't the right fit for me.

I'm being trained at a small company someone referred me to.

Really?

Where you work isn't important.

What matters is that you're working.

Have a drink.

- Let me serve you first. - Okay.

It's been so long.

Thank you for your time.

I'm the one who's thankful.

- Let me pour you one. - Okay.

How about you?

Are you still busy these days?

I read that Peoplez is in charge of finding a CEO for NEXT.

Well, yes.

Things are still going well at Peoplez.

Have you started searching for candidates?

We wouldn't be Peoplez if we were still searching.

- We started contacting our candidates. - Already?

Yeah.

Ms. Kang works insanely fast.

She isn't just fast.

She's one step ahead of anyone else.

- It's surprising. - Really?

Even this time,

instead of those formerly in management,

people like lawyers and journalists

Such candidates…

No, I can't. It's a trade secret.

A trade secret?

Sure, that's important!

Hello, Ms. Kim.

Peoplez is contacting those

with a legal or journalist background instead of managers.

- Are you sure this time? - Yes, I'm sure.

I heard it directly from a Peoplez employee.

From Peoplez's database that you have,

bring me a list of lawyers and journalists

that Kang Ji-yun would contact.

Don't forget that this is your last chance.

I would be so scared to be your enemy.

You must dislike Ms. Kang so much for you to attack her

from all directions.

I mean, is what we're doing not enough?

If I'm taking it away from her,

I shouldn't leave her a single crumb.

Is everything going smoothly?

Of course.

There can't be any problem. A lot of money is at stake.

Please come in.

Hello, I'm from Ikonic Biotechnology.

I'm CEO Park Young-min.

- Nice to meet you. I'm Kang Ji-yun. - Yes.

- Please have a seat. - Okay.

Wow, I like your office.

You're impressive.

Everyone talked about Peoplez when they recommended me search firms.

I heard that you're also in charge of finding a CEO for NEXT.

Rumors spread fast.

You must be busy, but please help us out too.

We're nowhere near NEXT,

but many want to invest in us for our technology development.

Things are going well for us now.

We worked hard for several years after getting our new drug patented.

It's finally happening.

I heard that you'll sign a contract with a German pharmaceutical company.

Yes, since then, we've been getting investment offers.

We've been very busy.

Our investment consultant told us

that stabilizing the company is important at a time like this.

Before our new drug gets commercialized,

we plan to focus on development.

Please recommend us competent researchers.

Sure.

Why aren't you going in?

Oh, go ahead.

What? Are you alone?

Yes, why?

Eun-ho left without going in.

Oh, really?

You two are so careful.

In case people get suspicious from seeing you together in the break room?

Have you discussed about his contract?

What did you decide?

- Contract? - Yes. Didn't he bring it up?

His contract period is almost over, so I told him to discuss it with you.

Oh, is it up already?

Did you fight or something?

Is something wrong?

Mi-ae.

How about some soju with me?

How could he

be Eun-ho, of all people?

Is this meant to be or an ill-fated relationship?

Isn't my dad nasty?

What he's done to me was enough.

I was trying to live without being lonely.

It's about him all over again.

So what are you going to do?

Stay with him.

What's the problem with staying with him?

To be brutally honest, it isn't Eun-ho's fault that your dad died.

Aren't you glad that your dad saved Eun-ho?

I've been resenting Dad all my life.
