What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (김비서가 왜 그럴까)

What do you know? You don't even know love.

Do you know love then?

You've been single all your life.

I've read a lot about it in books.

That's great.

The water must be boiling.

Why is he lying face down?

No! No! Don't do that!

Just for a little while.

Let me stay like this for a little while.

From now on, I am going to be madly in love...

with you.

That's what it was written...

in that childish book.

Is this what they call romance?

You already memorized the book.

Your memory always surprises me.

Is the water still boiling?

Try it. - Okay.

I usually don't eat food packed with chemicals.

But since you put an effort into cooking it, I will eat it.

Okay. I am honored.

What do you think?

It's quite nice. - Is it really?

The noodles taste much better when you eat it with kimchi.

You just doubled up the sodium level.

Does it make sense in nutritional science?

I enjoyed the noodles.

You sure did. You said it was packed with chemicals,

but you still really enjoyed it.

It was my first time eating the food you cooked.

Was it?

Before you go to bed, make sure to disinfect...

and apply ointment to your wound.

I will.

Thank you...

for today.

Actually, it was his first time coming into my house.

Mr. Lee?

He didn't leave anything.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Of course I'd burst in unannounced.

It's not like I'd make a reservation.

Here. You have beer, right?

Yes.

What's this? Was someone here?

What are you talking about?

Mr. Lee was here.

Goodness, goodness, goodness, you must be out of your mind!

How dare a grown woman let a man into her home!

All he did was eat ramen and leave.

What? Ramen?

Not jjolmyun or jjajangmyun, but ramen?

Is ramen that big of a deal?

Of course it is!

If a woman says,

"Want to eat ramen before you leave?" to a man,

they're pretty much saying, "If you eat this ramen,"

"we're dating now!"

It means that she likes you.

But it's not like it's caviar or truffles.

It's fast food that is filled with chemical additives,

yet the act of asking one to stay and eat that...

has that kind of meaning behind it?

Goodness, what a naive owner you are.

Ramen is just an excuse!

If a man and a woman stay together in an enclosed space,

they start wanting to hold hands...

and embrace one another.

What's wrong? - Nothing.

Did this happen between you and Ms. Kim, by any chance?

How could you say such a thing?

Do we seem like we have that much free time to you?

It's something that happened to my cousin's classmate from college.

Do I look like I have a lot of free time to you, then?

Do I really need to be sitting here listening to something...

that happened to your cousin's classmate from college at this hour?

You...

like your vice chairman, don't you?

What are you talking about?

You're always saying that.

Mi So, the thing about people is...

they'll only be happy if they date within their level.

It's not just people.

The same thing applies to everything else on this earth.

Have you ever seen a dog and a bird...

stick together like a couple, like on "How is that Possible?"

Dog and bird.

I'm not trying to curse.

So you're saying that a dog and a bird are a couple.

Yes. Doesn't it sound fascinating?

You find yourself saying, "How could this happen," right?

That's what it's like...

when people of two different breeds become a couple.

Does that mean that Mr. Lee is a dog,

and I'm a bird?

More or less.

Your vice chairman is rich, and we're just average people.

So we're a completely different breed.

If we tell him that we used to fight over chicken drumsticks...

when we were young,

do you think your vice chairman could understand what that's like?

The fact that we fought over...

a chicken drumstick, and not even a share of a company.

That's how much of a different world he lives in.

A faraway world that we could never hope to reach.

You know that I'm only saying this because I'm worried for you, right?

I just don't want you getting hurt later on down the line.

I know.

But...

it's my problem to deal with.

Get home safely. And text me when you get home.

All right, I'll be going now. Go get some rest.

Bye.

I'm really worried for Mi So.

M... Mom.

Mom. Dad.

Where are you?

I'm scared.

I'm scared.

Yes, Mr. Lee? - Where are you, Ms. Kim?

I'm still at home. Is there something you'd like me to do?

Are you finished getting ready for work?

Yes, I was just about to head out.

All right, hurry and come out.

Yes, sir. Wait, what?

What?

Yes, Mr. Lee? - Where are you, Ms. Kim?

I'm still at home. Is there something you'd like me to do?

Are you finished getting ready for work?

Yes, I was just about to head out.

All right, hurry and come out.

Yes, sir. Wait, what?

What?

Goodness, why are you...

I'll be right out. Yes.

What brings you here so early, sir?

Goodness, oh no!

My apologies.

No need to be sorry.

Pardon?

What? - What?

All right.

Where are you going, Ms. Kim?

I should drive, since Mr. Yang isn't here to drive you.

No, I'll drive.

Pardon?

Get in, Ms. Kim.

Watch your head.

"You look pretty today."

If you wanted to hear me say something like that,

you should be more fashion-conscious.

Pardon? - You wore...

this blouse last Wednesday and Friday too.

One would think that it's part of the Yumyung Group uniform.

Wednesday... and Friday.

How did you remember that?

My ridiculously good memory is a burden on me too.

Especially since there are some things that I'd rather forget.

Here.

What is this?

It's a croque-monsieur that my personal chef made.

You may eat it if you haven't had breakfast yet.

All right.

You may drink that coffee too.

Sure.

You may also keep this shopping bag.

Pardon?

Thank you.

Now?

Let's go.

You want me to go in first?

Yes.

Ms. Ok, how do I look today?

I changed my foundation.

Gosh, check your eyes before applying foundation.

You have sleep in your eyes.

Gosh, since when?

Goodness!

Since 10 minutes ago.

Why are you telling me this just now?

Hello.

Good morning.

"Good morning"?

Isn't it the first time that he greeted us so sweetly like this?

No, he's always been sweet to me.

Is that right? It's strange.

You sure it wasn't in your dream? - Come on.

By the way, why is the vice chairman in a good mood today?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Let's begin working. - All right.

Thanks. - Put yourself together already.

Okay, I will. - Thanks for the food.

Give me a new one, not your food.

I'm so perfect.

In addition to having a perfect appearance,

I'm even equipped with a warm, loving heart.

Sir, let me apply some more ointment on your wound.
