Queen of Reversals (역전의 여왕)

Queen of Reversals

Episode 29

I will not ask you to stay by my side anymore.

Can you stay with me just like that?

When I call you, you just have to pick up.

When I treat you to a meal, you just have to eat it.

If I buy movie tickets,

it's fine as long as you watch beside me.

And, if I confess to you like this everyday,

you just have to listen.

Is that not allowed as well?

It's fine as long as you don't push me away.

Are you not okay with that as well?

Ms. Hwang Tae Hee,

you can just be like the Ms. Hwang Tae Hee from five years ago.

I am the same now.

As long as I have you by my side,

no matter when it is, I will always feel fortunate.

As long as I have you beside me,

there's nothing that I can't give up.

There's also nothing that can make me afraid.

Even if the whole world objects,

I also have the confidence to defeat him.

What is this? My eyes have turned into the shape of large chestnuts.

How can I go to work like this? I'm going crazy.

My god, I have to ease the swelling.

It's cold, it's cold. Stop swelling quickly. Cold.

What? Are my chestnut-shaped eyes that noticeable?

Why are they all looking at me? Seriously.

No! Who said that she's a married woman

and even claimed that she seduced a married man?

She's in fact only a divorcee.

Not only that, you haven't succeeded in seducing her,

and you're still ignored by her everyday.

And how can they actually call such a normal Bon-boo-jang*

*Bon-boo-jang is a title of position

a scandal maker?!

Thinking back, you have only met with a few female actresses,

eaten meals together, went for a spin in the car for a few times,

and it's all small matters in conclusion.

How is that a scandal maker?!

Stop shouting.

Can I stop shouting now?!

The situation now is like seeing my son being slandered with my own eyes.

So didn't I say this already?

Didn't I tell you not to act that way?

Go and check whether Ms. Hwang Tae Hee has gone to work.

You're still worrying about that girl at this point in time?

All the arrows are pointing towards you now!

Yes, I know.

I must have betrayed my country in my past life.

It's all my fault.

Ah, what is the Leader going to do?

That's right, is my face really that swollen?

I'm not talking about that. Didn't you see the poster?

Oh, what poster?

You didn't see it? It's also spreading on the net.

Don't get too shocked, let your heart be prepared for this.

How should I say this? Really.

[Objection for President Recommendation of Headquarter Director Goo Yong Shik who Made a Scandal with a Married Woman]

I wish to be alone for a while now.

Seeing you listless like a little puppy,

they should be very happy about it.

How happy they would be. Even I am feeling this delighted!

A listless puppy?

At other times, when you've done things that are far more overboard,

you're still too thick skinned to have pretended not to know.

What happened this time around? It's really hard to get used to.

Could it be that you're trying to authenticate the accuracy of this news?

If you're not going to drink it, then give it to me. Ooh, hot!

Does this even make any sense?

Now even the news reporters are coming for interviews.

In this line, everyone who should know of this rumour has known of it.

It's not a rumour, it should be the truth.

You all seem to misunderstand,

that employee is not a married woman, she's already divorced.

The important thing is that they have worked in the same team in the past.

There's completely no relationship at all.

Isn't that it, Chairman?

To think that Director Han, unwilling to give up her

whole life for the company, had chosen an inexperienced young man

who was also involved in scandals to be the president.

Really.

Headquarter Director Goo Yong Shik applying to be the president has always been

a joke from the start.

These photographs are proof of this matter,

and our shareholders have the same sentiments as well.

I've come today to tell you all of this matter.

So, the talk with the shareholders, has it ended?

Not yet.

When the meeting has finished with the Chairman, they are coming to see you.

Prepare a simple document.

Yes.

Do not make any mistakes.

Yes.

Ms. Hwang Tae Hee has come to work like normal.

She's just completed her morning shift.

She's gone to the staff canteen for lunch.

So, Hyung, you should also lift up your spirits, just go eat something.

Is that so?

What do you mean by this?

Ah, you have finally gone crazy. Really crazy.

If you want to eat, you can go out and eat!

Why must you come to the staff canteen?!

I've always liked the food in the staff canteen.

Stop joking!

Just because I said Ms. Hwang Tae Hee is here!

Her looks are not even that fantastic! She's really something.

That's right, that's right.

She's not really that good looking, is she?

Yes.

Take a good look on how I make a fool of her.

Omo, I'm so sorry. Are you all right?

Give me the food voucher.

What?

It's because of you that I can't eat all this food,

so give me the food voucher.

I said I won't charge you for the dry-cleaning fees,

so give me a food voucher.

And also, take a cloth from over there and clean this up.

You did this.

Don't make the innocent kitchen cleaners do the hard work for you.

You see that? Ms. Hwang Tae Hee

is the kind, whereby, even if you throw her in the middle of the desert alone,

she can still threaten a camel and lock onto the camel's neck

until she finds a water source and survives.

The problem is you.

Ahwoo! Anyway, let's just go quickly. I'm scared of being seen.

Yes, oh, I understand.

The Chairman is asking for you.

Ah, really...

You've seen how the company has been made a mess by you.

How is it? Are you satisfied now?

Give me a chance.

I'll explain it clearly to make them understand.

If you wait a little longer, I will make them accept me based

on my job performance instead of listening to the scandals.

Are you really that immature?

Why do you have to make your father disappointed?

Do you not have any dreams at all?

I do, I want to be the president,

and I will manage the company well, so as not to let Hyung and the others despise me.

So you're saying...

Who says a person can have only one dream?

The dream that I want to fulfill the most

is to go through life with the person I like, just like other people.

There won't be any changes. Look at me, your father.

It's because of you that I could understand more clearly.

If I have to choose between these two options,

then giving up the president's seat is the right thing to do.

I still need to go for a meeting, so I'll leave first.

What should your son do?

As long as we pass this test, we can prepare to sign the contract.

And also, Manager Mok, hand over a management proposal.

Yes.

Then, do you still have any queries?

What is it?

That, can we really ask?

Ask.

Are the two of you really going out?

Are you really that curious?

The two of us are not going out.

I'm the one holding a one-sided crush,

loving to the point of dying.

And because she's rejecting me, that's why I'm clinging on to her.

I've tried really hard.

What kind of expression is this?

It's not like you don't have a secret crush on anyone before.

If there aren't other questions, then you're dismissed.

So handsome.

- He's really too handsome. - Too handsome!

But what does he actually want to do?

Now, even if he denies, it's too late already.

He actually told us everything just because we're curious.

He can do that, but even if it's the truth, shouldn't he say something like,

"Ah, that's just a rumor."

"We are just colleagues."

"Because of this rumor, what shall we say? We are somewhat afraid."

What? Shouldn't he say something like that? Huh, huh?

If it's like that,

then his fight for presidency, has it all gone down the drain?

I seem to be standing on the wrong side.

Why do they have to create this kind of chaos in the midst of laying off employees?

If love can go according to one's wishes, then is that really love?

It's because you can't control it, that's why it's called love.

Twenty years in this position,

I have stood at the crossroads of choices many times,

but this time, it's really hard to choose.

Ms. Hwang Tae Hee, is it? Your ex-wife.

Yes.

I've seen her before. She looks like a very nice woman.

You're correct.

I've heard about her, she seems like a rather good employee.

Yes.

But I do not wish to extend the contract with Ms. Hwang Tae Hee,

so I wish to fire her.

She's your employee, so it should be up to you to mention this to her.

Have I made you do many things that put you in a tight spot?

If you can't manage this task, then I'll find someone else.

What is this? Am I Geum Jan Di*?
