Si-woo,
why did you nitpick at the sphere ice refrigerator?
I said just run the project you prepared while leading Planning Team 2.
I couldn't just look away.
That's the Kang Si-woo I know.
Well, we were going to let a task force handle that project anyway.
Might as well put a team together.
I'll make sure the plan stays on track.
You'd better.
Both of our fates are hanging on that.
Go get that executive title and go back to the US like you wanted.
Yes, ma'am.
To do that, there's something you absolutely need.
People.
It's a tricky one, isn't it?
Shall we try something else first?
No.
I want to finish this one first.

Hello.
Good morning, Mr. Ko.
Why yes, Ms. Cha. Good morning.
What the...
Where...
Why's she going over there? Hey, wrong way.
Huh?
What?
Sr. Associate Cha Ji-yoon,
here to apply for the task force.
Nice to work with you.
Nice to work with you too.
Ms. Cha! How could you!
I made the right choice, right?
Anxiety, nervousness, worry, doubt.
Mr. Kang.
Caffeine only aggravates those symptoms.
But chamomile contains antioxidants with a calming effect.
Today, have this instead.
CHAMOMILE
I heard caffeine
stimulates the nervous system and helps you focus.
The main ingredients are sugar, oligosaccharide, and coconut oil.
The coffee content is only 13.3%, for better or worse.
What's surprising is that this little packet
contains 6.4 grams of sugar.
That's 15% of your daily sugar intake.
Two of them make 30%.
A classic marketing technique,
playing on consumers' fears by using a competitor's weak spot.
Could you pour me a cup, then?
Of course.
He got me in no time.
The launch has been pushed back by a month.
A month? But it's already been a week.
Yes,
because someone kept avoiding me.
We have to make the perfect sphere ice with the time we have left.
Would that be possible?
That's not the question to ask.
We have to make it possible.
And how exactly are we supposed to do that?
What is that taste?
EPISODE 3 SICK OR NOT, STILL CLOCKING IN!
Not so much as a single pen or memo pad.
Not a speck of dust either.
WATER FLOSSER, HAND SANITIZER, DEODORIZER, RUBBING ALCOHOL
Bet he doesn't even have plaque in his mouth.
It's weird when he smiles,
and weird when he doesn't.
Weird when he talks,
and weird when he doesn't.
KANG SI-WOO
Is there something you need to say?
We're the only two here. Why is he messaging me?
No, nothing.
TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP
I've dealt with all kinds of bosses over seven years,
but this type is a first.

Please get a silent keyboard.
It's distracting.
It's distracting.
It's distracting.
Sure!
That dark cloud gets even bigger when he works.
Let's go to the development lab.
The test results are out.
Test?
This… It can't be.
As you said, Mr. Kang, freezing it drop by drop from the bottom up
really did make it clear.
It stings my pride a bit, but I have to give you credit.
How did you come up with this?
Ice spikes.
I figured if we froze it slowly drop by drop like an icicle,
it would turn clearer.
Wait, that's…
Did you think it'd just get shot down like at the factory
or you'd get your idea stolen like today?
Did I get played again?
I thought he'd be different.
That's right, it was Ms. Cha's idea.
Ice spikes!
You mean reverse icicles?
Yes! Icicles are clear, aren't they?
Maybe we could make it that way.
The one you ignored at the factory.
Oh, of course.
Ms. Cha, you mentioned it to us then, right?
If only we'd listened back then, we wouldn't have wasted all this time.
I'm sorry, Ms. Cha.
No worries.
Okay.
It's not ready yet.
Let's reset the freezing speed and temperature.
Sure.
I truly can't tell
whether he's a good person or a bad person.
Ms. Cha.
Would you like to check this one?
Sure.
Please start by writing a progress report
on how the project has gone so far.
- Yes, sir. - Ms. Cha.
You think you can just leave behind a few pieces of paper?
Don't you know how to hand over your work?
I've already emailed you all the materials I had.
Did you forget we have an executive briefing on Monday?
You're supposed to finish the report before you leave!
Isn't it standard for the presenter to write the report?
Our team's standard is that the most capable person does it.
You must not know collaboration since you work alone.
Ms. Cha is part of the task force now.
If she collaborates with anyone, that would be with me.
She hasn't finished the work she was doing with me!
At least wrap up what you started before you leave.
You don't believe taking on every job
is what responsibility looks like, do you?
This is work she was originally doing!
It's work you should be doing, Mr. Ko.
Wait, please! Hang on.
I'll finish both the progress report and the executive report by the weekend.
Would that be okay?
I thought I told you we don't have much time.
If I don't do it, it'll just fall on someone else on the team.
I don't want to trouble anyone.
Taking someone else's work is trouble, no?
I want you to set your priorities straight.
It's my fault for getting my hopes up even for a second.
Looks like you're still busy.
I'll head down to Pohang tomorrow.
What are you doing?
I feel so bad about Ms. Cha I don't know what to do.
Leave her be.
She dug her own grave.
I'm off.
No-ah!
Your older sister?
Man, I would eat at home too if I had a sister
as pretty as her.
Does your sister
have a boyfriend?
She's really beautiful.
She's engaged to someone.
What the hell? What are you doing here?
And what on earth is that outfit?
I played a game nearby so I came here to get dinner.
There's nowhere to eat around here.
I heard there's a famous tteokbokki place.
How many times did I say that tteokbokki makes you fat?
Fine, we can eat something else.
Quick, let's go.
SPHERE ICE REFRIGERATOR DEVELOPMENT
Way back home, way back home
I'm the happiest when I clock out.
I just sent over the progress report.
Okay.
Then I'll clock out for the day.
What is it?
I do clock out too, you know.
Okay, 10:12 p.m.
I'm avoiding this time from now on.
You should sit down.
This is more comfortable.
I see.
Mr. Kang,
do you always get off work at this hour?
It depends on the day.
That's inconvenient.
I mean, that must be tiring.
This is uncomfortable as hell.
This stop is Wonam-dong.
- The next stop is Korea Corporation. - Mr. Kang?
This is your stop, isn't it?
No.
