EPISODE 15
-Are you ready? -Yes.
Let's start.
Here we go.
All right. This is a historic moment for Cheongmyeong Company
which Studio Jakdu will record.
Come and watch from over here.
Come on in. Come join us here!
This is just for a temporary permit. Why come all the way here?
Got nothing else to do?
I wish. We're so busy because of the bidding.
-Bidding? -You don't know about it yet?
The City of Seonju is building a smart city.
I know about it. DQ Group got the project. The budget is over a trillion won.
They're looking for an autonomous vehicle company,
and we're submitting a bid.
-I see. -Step up your game.
If you keep working hard, Cheongmyeong Company
will grow enough to land such a large-scale project.
That's right.
As they say, a good start is half the battle.
I know you will get this permit thanks to our engineers.
What do you mean?
These twins here left the company after setting everything up.
I can vouch for them,
so relax and enjoy. Just chill.
-We had to completely redo the system. -What?
Come again? Redo what?
Why?
We really wanted to just build on what you had created and take the easy route.
But we couldn't.
So many ghosts and no sensor fusion.
And the control functions were all messed up as well.
I even got carsick and threw up when the car was driving.
So we used our own algorithm for the system.
We also had to completely change the central system.
-They're going too fast. -What makes them so confident?
What if they run into a problem?
A ghost.
Did it pick up a ghost?
No.
Oh, there's a cat.
It was a cat, not a ghost.
In other words, the system is good enough to prevent roadkill.
The test is almost over. Shall we wait for them at the finish line?
Sure, good idea.
It was a cat. A kitty cat, okay?
When is the bid deadline?
What? What bid? For what?
The smart city project that DQ Group has landed.
I think we should also participate in the bidding.
-All of a sudden? -I also thought it'd be too sudden.
But after seeing that, I no longer think so.
And that look on your faces
tells me that our system is better than Morning AI's.
You can bluff anytime. It doesn't cost a thing.
But if you have to pay the price, it won't be cheap. You know that, right?
Yes. I know that well.
Hey, Yong-san.
Remember Do-san talking about developing an autonomous driving system at 2STO?
Of course, I remember.
When Alex asked him why he wanted to do that…
He said, "Just in case."
But he's turned that into reality.
Yes, he has.
"Just in case"? What are you guys talking about?
Not telling you.
-Thank you. -Well done.
Hey, guys!
-That was great! -You rock!
-Let us carry you. -Here, hop on!
-What? -Hey, come on!
-Hey, Do-san! -Come on!
-One, two, three! -One, two, three!
-Nam Do-san! -Nam Do-san!
-Seo Dal-mi! -Seo Dal-mi!
-One, two, three! -Two, three!
WINNER
A PRODUCT WITH ENOUGH FEATURES TO ATTRACT EARLY ADOPTERS AND VALIDATE A PRODUCT IDEA
-You're nuts. -We're at work now.
-You are crazy, Ms. Won. -Seems like it.
-Yes, I agree. -That's nonsense.
You know, the ink on our temporary permit hasn't even dried yet.
But we passed the test with flying colors.
I think we have a shot at winning the bid.
I need to speak with you.
It's like telling a little kid to take the CSAT.
I took it when I was in grade school.
Fine, anyone can take it. But did you get into college as a kid?
-I did. -What?
-You did? -What?
I dropped out after a few months.
You freak.
Gosh, I don't even want to try to understand that freak anymore.
What's gotten into you? What's with this nonsense?
I don't think it's nonsense.
I believe a business can only grow as large as the CEO's dreams.
Don't limit yourself. I hope you can keep challenging yourself as a CEO.
Sometimes, foolhardy dreams can become reality--
I guess Morning AI is bidding too.
That's right.
But I put Cheongmyeong Company's vision
-before my personal feelings-- -You don't want to lose.
Right, I don't.
I'd rather die than lose.
But Morning is their majority shareholder.
Chairman Won Du-jeong supports them.
Injae Company is your majority shareholder.
You have my support.
Let's drop this.
You're not confident?
I am confident in our technology.
But we can't win that bidding war with technology alone.
And we don't have time to fight a battle that we will lose.
You've lost your spirit.
No, I'm just being careful.
You know.
I once lost my entire team because of a reckless decision.
I don't want to lose them again.
That's my top priority.
CHUL-SAN ICED VANILLA LATTE LOVER
WE WON A TEMPORARY AUTONOMOUS DRIVING PERMIT!
-No! -Hey!
Enough already!
Everyone!
We finally got the temporary operation permit.
Congratulate us by subscribing to my channel and liking this video.
I must be going crazy.
HE GOT ALL THE CHAMPAGNE TRYING TO PROTECT HER
What are these comments?
He was protecting me. Why are they freaking out?
Can we add weather conditions to this?
To make the driving environment a little more extreme.
As you know, Tarzan could use some improvement on that front.
Chul-san, you're so cute when you're having your iced vanilla latte.
Your sweet eyes are going to give me diabetes.
Lee Chul-san is perfect.
Lee Chul-san is flawless.
Chul-san, you have nice teeth. I'm a dentist.
Let me know if you need dental scaling!
If we set that up and do a simulation…
Sa-ha?
Are you listening?
Yes, of course.
Okay.
Let's see. Now--
-Hello! -Oh, hello.
-Hello! Hello, everyone. -Hello.
Here's the video we shot on the day of the test.
It's a rough cut, but check it out and let me know.
Thanks, Cheon-ho. Are you not charging us again?
That's right. But can you guys give me your feedback on something?
On what?
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Here.
This is a fortune-telling app based on tarot cards.
It's called Believe It or Not.
-Tarot cards? -Sounds fun.
-It's a scam. -Come on. It's all bullshit.
-We don't believe stuff like that. -Give it a try.
It's extremely accurate.
And the app is synced with Yeong-sil.
So just pick what you want, and he'll read it to you.
I'm sure some engineering majors came up with that algorithm.
Sa-ha, don't buy into such superstitions.
How about a career reading?
-Oh, do you want to try? -What?
-Do-san, you don't believe this stuff. -Can I ask something like this?
Should we bid on the smart city project or not?
Of course. You can ask it anything.
All right. Career. Okay.
Take your pick.
THIS IS FOR YOUR CAREER READING CAREFULLY CHOOSE 1 CARD
PLEASE WAIT
You chose the Tower card.
They say that arrogance comes before a fall.
And recklessness can make hard work meaningless.
Be careful.
I'm getting goosebumps.
So we shouldn't do it?
I guess not.
I knew it.
Don't believe it. It's just a superstition.
-Do you need to photocopy something? -No.
Then what's up?
I have two favors to ask.
Favors?
Sure, what are they? Anything for you.
I want you to stop vlogging.
Stop vlogging?
Well, I have 50,000 subscribers.
Can I ask you why?
-You don't want to? -It's not that.
Okay, I'll stop doing it. I was going to stop anyway. Yes, I should.
Then what's the second one?
I hate when people are obviously dating a co-worker,
so don't show it.
Gosh, I wouldn't want to make a big deal out of it.
What?
What do you mean?
I don't want anyone to know
that we're dating.
Sa-ha.
Is this another prank?
Then I'd really be…
You can do that for me, right?
Yes.
I… I won't show it.
Never. You have my word.
Okay, see you.
See you.
Oh, my heart…
LOOKING FOR PARTNERS FOR SELF-DRIVING PLATFORM
Why did In-jae have to bring it up? It keeps bothering me.
She goes bonkers every time she hears anything about Morning Group.
She completely forgets that she's no match for them.
You don't like to lose either.
Right, I don't. But that's just your personal feeling.
Since I'm a CEO, I should make a rational decision.
I think you could be a mentor now.
LOOKING FOR PARTNERS FOR SELF-DRIVING PLATFORM
I'm getting goosebumps.
So we shouldn't do it?
I guess not. I knew it.
Don't believe it. It's just a superstition.
Director Han.
I'm asking just in case.
It's unlikely.
Still. If we got lucky…
Like If we got unbelievably lucky,
-do you think we could win-- -No.
It's just a waste of time
and resources to try something you know that you will fail.
Right?
I knew you'd say that.
-Did you eat everything? -Oh, right.
Tell your grandma to stop sending me food.
I have no room left in my fridge.
She'll be happy to hear that.
Fattening you up is her only joy these days.
Oh, I'll carry this. You'll leave it in your car, right?
Yes.
Where did you park?
On B4.
Oh, my grandma wanted me to ask you what kinds of side dishes you like.
Gosh, it's really okay.
My body fat percentage is soaring.
Her goal is making sure your body-fat percentage goes over 20.
Over 20 percent? That's more than what pigs have.
Really? Pigs have less than 20 percent body fat?
You're not getting in?
I am.
-What floor? -B4.
Kongjaban.
Sorry?
Next time, ask your grandma to make some kongjaban for me.
I love kongjaban.
Okay, will do.
What's going on?
Is it broken?
Hello, I'm in the elevator in Sand Box's main building.
The elevator suddenly stopped.
-The main building? We'll be right there. -Thank you.
Sa-ha, do you know how to solve anagrams?
Yes, I did it a lot when I was little.
ANAGRAM: USING LETTERS OF ONE WORD TO CREATE OTHER WORDS
Can you think of any words using these letters?
What is this?
It's a character string from the ransomware hostname.
I think this means something.
Really?
There's also pastel, monorail.
Also, trampoline works.
That sounds really fun.
Let me join you guys.
Do you know what anagrams are?
Why don't you teach me?
Chul-san.
I can't build on the file you sent. Can you take a look?
I'll do it later. This is more urgent now.
Hey, that's more urgent.
Why isn't it working?
Did you check the README?
When will they get here?
I wonder too. This is taking longer than I thought.
LOOKING FOR PARTNERS FOR SELF-DRIVING PLATFORM
-Dal-mi. -Yes?
You know…
we should put in a bid
for the self-driving platform.
You know that this isn't something we can tackle.
And it's highly unlikely that we'll get it.
I know. I don't expect us to get it.
-Still, we should-- -Why bother?
It's a lot of work for something you don't expect to succeed at.
That's why we should do it.
That way, it'll be easier next time.
-Well… -So, like a practice game?
You want to put off everything else to come up
with a proposal and a whole new program for this project
and even prepare for the tech evaluation just for practice?
That's a lot of time and energy. If you don't get it--
It'll be a learning experience.
You pass failure on your way to success.
We'll build experience--
That's just being reckless.
What's with you two?
Why talk about work here?
"Reckless"?
Right. You need to keep digging around to find a good lot.
We'll keep digging and--
The wrong order can cost you your life.
I told you before.
If you sail off without a map, you'll die.
Be it a typhoon or a shark. You will die either way.
Did you forget?
How could I?
Of course, I remember.
Sailing off without a map.
Let's do it.
I was very excited when you told us that idea.
You're reckless.
Well, we'll just get lost.
"Sail off without a map." Remember?
But to me,
sailing off without a map was marvelous.
I might've failed, but I have no regrets.
Never did and never will.
-Look, Do-san. -I know.
Like you said, sailing off without a map could cost me my life.
But I could also survive.
And people like that become trailblazers.
Are you all right?
Thank you.
I'm sorry. I put you in a difficult position.
Yes.
Pretend you never heard what I said.
It was just noise.
How could I do that when I heard everything you said?
Dal-mi.
I will support your decision no matter what you decide to do.
I just don't want your decision to be hindered by us.
Even if we fail, it won't affect the team.
You must've overheard my conversation with In-jae.
Yes.
So don't worry about that, okay?
The past three years have changed me.
I'm a lot more careful now.
I've changed too.
I'm much stronger now.
LOOKING FOR PARTNERS FOR SELF-DRIVING PLATFORM
Dal-mi.
You know… we should put in a bid
for the self-driving platform.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
You chose the Seven of Swords card.
You are holding the blade, not the grip.
You may get hurt.
Do not make any rash decisions.
Right, of course. I agree.
Why don't I try one more time?
You chose the Seven of Swords card.
You chose the Seven of Swords--
Fine.
-Just once more. -You chose the Seven of--
For one last time.
You chose the Seven of Swords card.
You look tired. Did you not sleep well last night?
Does it show?
Gosh, I can't let it show.
Is something bothering you?
No, it's nothing.
Where's Grandma? Is she still in bed?
Yes.
She keeps sleeping more and more.
Should we try a new tonic?
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
You will take care of it?
That worries me even more.
What will you do?
Don't you worry. Just eat your breakfast.
MINHA REAL ESTATE OFFICE
And we need your signature here.

COMMERCIAL LEASE
CHA A-HYEON
Looks good.
Apollon and Artemis also work.
Oh, you're right.
Sa-ha, you're an anagram master.
Is this enough?
No, keep going. I think we're close.
Stop playing that game. Let's get some work done.
Hey, this isn't a game.
This could lead us to the culprit behind the ransomware attack.
This is serious.
Okay. I'm serious too.
Very serious.
Hey, can you stop that?
Mr. Nam.
Yes?
There's something you need to return to me.
-What? -The letter.
You still have that, right? I left it in your rooftop office.
-Yes. -That letter is mine.
You don't need it anymore.
I want it back.
You also have something that belongs to me.
Me? Something that belongs to you?
Look, Mr. Nam.
Unlike you, I hate to keep things
-that aren't mine-- -The money tree.
Dal-mi got that for me.
I want it back.
Sure.
Let's swap them and call it an end.
Sure, sounds good. When would you like it back?
-Now. -Right now?
-Why? You don't want to? -No, sounds great. Let's go.

DAD GOT ME A BEAUTIFUL MUSIC BOX FOR MY NINTH BIRTHDAY
Do-san, you're my pretty music box.
I hope you know that.
I bet you have a lovely melody.
I'm sure of it.
Hello?
-Where are you? -I'm home.
Where should we meet?
I don't need the tree.
I'm keeping the letter.
What? Hey, Mr. Nam--
Mr. Nam. Do-san…
Hey!
What is this?
I got a little bit of alimony, you know.
-So consider this my rent… -My gosh.
Is this money?
Cash? How much?
No, it's not cash.
It's better than cash.
Better than cash? What could it be?
-Is it a check? -No.
Mother, I got you a commercial space
for your corn dog shop!
Why?
It'll be good for both of us.
Working together will help us improve our relationship.
Gosh, forget it. Go cancel this now.
I can't.
I already paid the deposit.
My gosh, have you lost your mind?
Why on earth did you do this?
Because I'm counting on you, Mother.
Mother, just tell me what to do.
I'll make and sell them. I'll do all the work.
Gosh, that terrifies me.
Hey, what can you even do?
Whatever! I can't do this. I refuse.
All right, then. I guess I'll do this alone.
What?
Hey, A-hyeon.
After spilling the oil and causing trouble a few times,
I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I'm not a complete idiot.
Right?
Gosh, that fool. Hey!
What do I do? A corn dog shop with her? My goodness.
I can't even see anything.
DIRECTOR HAN JI-PYEONG
Hey, Do-san. Are you home?
Yes. I'm here, Dad.
You're back.
Director Han.
I tried calling, but you didn't pick up.
I wasn't sure what to do, so I decided to stop by
and I ran into your father.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
-Who is he? -He and Do-san are very close.
-You said you're his mentor, right? -That's correct.
I'm sorry, I should've come by to introduce myself sooner.
Why would you visit my parents?
He said he's here to collect something from you.
No, that's not true.
Come on. You know what it is.
Here. Gosh, don't drop it.
We were supposed to do a swap, but I guess he forgot.
-He's forgetful. -No, that's not true.
My gosh, that's a money tree.
It's big! I guess he's giving it to you to wish you great prosperity.
Mom, it's not like this tree can help me earn more money.
Hey, don't be rude.
Have you eaten yet?
-It's okay, Mom. -Not yet.
Do you drink?
I'm not trying to brag,
but I made these myself with herbs that I handpicked.
There's more over there. Down here too.
Let's see. Over here, I've got…
This is arrowroot wine, with the energy of the earth.
This sweet mandarin melon berry wine will get you drunk before you even know it.
Ginseng wine's good for immunity.
Having digestive problems? Then you need this plum wine.
All men know about this. The ultimate stamina booster,
bushclover wine. I've got all sorts of herbal wines here.
Thank you for the offer, but I'll pass. I--
He can't drink. He can't control himself.
No, that's not true.
Unlike someone, I behave myself even when I'm drunk.
I behave myself too.
-All right, cheers! -Cheers.
-Here, sir. -Gosh, it's okay.
I shouldn't drink anymore.
Director Han, aren't you full?
What should we drink to aid digestion?
-Plum wine! -Plum wine!
Sir, we want plum wine!
Honey, let's go to bed.
These two will drink all night.
Yes, let's go to bed.
They're obviously very close.
-Plum wine. -Let's go.
Here's the plum wine.
Open the lid.
But don't touch the bushclover wine.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Don't touch the bushclover wine…
You can't even open that? Jeez.
Why won't this open?
Pass it over. Let me try.
If I open this,
give me back the letter.
Okay?
Gosh, you can't even open this?
Let's just drink something else. Bring something else.
Director Han. You know,
I'm really curious about something.
About what?
About that letter.
Ms. Choi told me
that you saw my name in the newspaper.
You used my name because I looked smart
and kind.
No, no. I'll tell you the real reason.
I did it out of envy.
I saw your parents congratulating you on winning the medal
and taking photos with you on TV.
And I…
really envied your life.
That's why I used your name.
I envied you a lot.
Me? Why?
Why would you envy me?
Because of my river-view apartment? My car?
Or my watch?
No.
A long time ago,
I asked Dal-mi
why she liked me.
And this was her answer.
First of all, you're my first love.
That's you.
So I asked her again, and she said…
Your letters comforted me for a long time.
That was also you.
So I asked her again,
and she finally
said something that was actually about me.
You have nice, big hands.
She likes me because I have big hands.
That's it.
So I tried very hard to outdo all the memories
that you two share
with this one thing alone,
but it certainly wasn't enough.
If you know that, will you give up already?
That I can't do.
What, then?
You'll love her forever knowing it won't be reciprocated?
Yes.
I'll love her forever.
Sa-ha.
What did you say you did to overcome your insomnia?
The number pi is 3,141…
Jeez, what is that?
Sailing off without a map was marvelous.
I might've failed, but I have no regrets.
Never did and never will.
I will support your decision no matter what you decide to do.
I just don't want your decision to be hindered by us.
The sun's coming up.
-Grandma. -Yes?
What are you doing this early?
Well, your mom caused big trouble.
I stayed up all night to sort it out.
Trouble? What kind of trouble?
She signed a lease for a commercial space.
To open a corn dog shop.
Mom said that? What's she counting on?
My point, exactly.
She said she's counting on me.
So you stayed up all night to make the batter?
I'm so worried that I can't even sleep.
Why on earth did she do such a thing?
And she's sound asleep after doing this to me.
So you're going to help her?
What can I do? Someone has to sort it out.
Hold on.
Hey, how does this look?
-It's perfect. -Really?
-Grandma. -Yes.
I think the shop will do well.
How? I can't even see.
It won't work.
Still, we should try. What can I do, you know?
Oh, boy.
Grandma.
-Thank you. -What? For what?
-I found my answer. -What?
Thanks, Grandma.
Yeong-sil.
Yeong-sil, what time is it?
Yeong-sil.
What is this place?
Where am I?
What should we drink to aid digestion?
-Plum wine! -Plum wine!
Crap.
What is this?
Checkered! Checkered pajamas.
Check!
Gosh, I'm going to puke. For real.
Why do I remember everything?
I drank more than enough to black out.
Why do I remember such useless details?
She likes me because I have big hands.
That's it.
I tried to feel her out,
and she's not interested in you.
She likes men with big hands.
The hands? That's her type?
Should I put chili peppers in the pollack soup or not?
Does he like spicy food?
Yes, I think so.
Mom, do we have kongjaban?
Yes, in the container with the blue lid.
Why do you need kongjaban?
Director Han likes it. I want to pack some for him to take home.
You're already up? Have some hangover soup.
It's okay. I'm not hungry.
I packed some kongjaban for you to take home.
-Our kongjaban is so good. -I don't like kongjaban.
-In the elevator, you said-- -Have you no pride?
Why are you getting angry?
I'm taking the letter and the tree.
What?
That's not fair. We were supposed to do a swap.
No. Even then, it's my loss.
Your loss? What do you mean?
Mr. Nam.
I was going to keep playing dumb, knowing how dull-witted you are.
But I can't.
Listen up. I won't say it twice.
It's okay.
This is enough.
I WANT TO LAUNCH MY START-UP BECAUSE
What are you doing here?
Just thinking about my first day here.
You wrote one too, right?
Yes, I did.
What is the probability of me finding the one that you wrote?
Not sure.
I think there are about 5,000 of these, so maybe around 0,0002 percent?
Would the probability of us winning the bid be around that as well?
Let's do this.
If I manage to find yours in one minute,
we will bid on that project.
But this has nothing to do with that.
Starting now.
Which side? Just tell me that.
This side, right?
Listen up. I won't say it twice.
Stop feeling inferior to me.
Work on your self-esteem
and look at Dal-mi again.
Then you'll know
who she really likes.
With those hands alone,
you beat our memories.
You're tall, so maybe it's up there?
This is mine.
We found it, so let's do it.
But I was supposed to find it.
Does this mean…
Dal-mi.
Why do you like me?
I'm not your first love,
and I didn't write those letters.
I lied to you
and hurt you.
I can't think of a single reason why you'd like me.
Just my hands. That's it.
Why do you like me?
I…
I don't know.
Why do you keep asking me this question?
Why do you like me?
Do I need a reason?
I just like you. I don't need a reason to like you.
Because it's you.
You're the reason.
That's all there is to it.
Thank you.
I WANT TO TURN A MISUNDERSTANDING INTO REALITY
Sa-ha, I thought of a few more at home.
Sorry.
-My gosh. -What are you doing?
Nothing. I'll pick it up for you.
Why does it keep running away?
Does it have feet or something?
Hey, are you upset with me about something?
-No, I'm not. -Yes, you are.
-No. -Yes.
-You are upset with me. -No, I'm not.
-You are. -I said I'm not!
-You are! -No.
-Yes, you are. -No, I'm not.
What's this?
-Hey. -You're upset with me.
-They're being so childish. -What is this?
Yong-san is trying to solve the anagram to find the ransomware culprit.
What is this?
Why?
I received the adoption dissolution order from the court.
Now, you're divorced and even the adoption has been dissolved.
They're no longer our family, so just forget about them.
She even named the company after her father. Jeez.
Cheongmyeong Company?
Don't even worry.
It's just a tiny start-up.
Do you kill flies because they're big?
We slap them because they're annoying.
Sang-su.
I do not want to see them forgetting their place and acting up again.
What should we do, then?
Seo Dal-mi threatened us once before, right?
I think we should do the same.
Reporters have the power to ruin a company's image.
And once your image is ruined, it takes time and money to restore it.
Okay.
Meet Mr. Choi at Hyungju Daily.
We recently bought a lot of ad space, so he'll be happy to help us out.
HYUNGJU DAILY CHOI JI-HAENG
Okay, Dad.
Hey.
I'm here. I'll go through it when I get in.
But Ms. Seo is waiting for you here now.
Dong-cheon, I want to go through it somewhere quiet if possible.
Can you email me the IR stuff?
Then what about Ms. Seo?
That's right. I forgot you had to step out for that meeting today.
Got it. I'll let her know. Okay.
I'm sorry, Ms. Seo.
Director Han has a meeting elsewhere.
Yes, I heard everything. It's okay.
-I'll be off, then. -Okay.
-Have a good day. -You too.
PARK DONG-CHEON
-Hey, what's up? -Ms. Seo left.
But she totally knows that you're avoiding her.
I'll be there in a minute.
Han Ji-pyeong, you're such a loser.
I didn't know you were here.
I wanted to go through some stuff quietly.
Come in. I was about to leave.
You are avoiding me.
Because I know what you'll say.
I always thought I'd be able to act cool in situations like this.
Turns out I'm a loser after all.
And I am not okay.
Director Han.
But if I felt okay now,
that would mean I didn't actually like you that much.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too.
I'm afraid I'll act like a loser for quite a while.
I wanted to tell you
that we have decided
to bid on the project.
Okay. You made a good decision.
So? Are you going to do it?
Yes, that's the plan. But I can't guarantee we'll get the bid.
It'd be weird if you did.
Just think of the entire process as MVP testing.
You have to share
all your documents and experience with me, okay?
Yes, don't you worry.
Can you believe it? This is you.
No, I can't.
This girl's so ugly.
No, they made her way too pretty.
No, I look much better in person.
No. Your head was a lot bigger than that.
-What? Am I an insect? -Your head was this big.
No, your head was bigger.
Right. I had a big head too.
-You had a big nose. -What? What do you mean?
I have a high nose bridge.
No, you don't. You had a chubby nose.
What? There are no cars in front of us. Why is it suddenly slowing down?
There must be a glitch with the detection logic.
Let's check the route again.
We'll fix it if this happens again.
Can we get some data from DQ Group?
We should revise the UI design, but I'm not sure how.
It's probably confidential,
but let me find out. I'll look into it.
Gosh, you didn't have to buy this.
FOR YOUR JOINTS, FOR YOUR HEALTH
I heard this is very good for the knee.
You have to protect your knees if you want to work at the shop.
-Don't forget to take this every day. -Okay.
Do you have an important appointment or something?
Yes, I do.
-Is the batter ready? -Yes.
It's our first day. I wonder if we'll be busy.
Gosh, why is my heart pounding like this?
Mother.
You had an extra shot of espresso in your coffee this morning.
That's why.
A-hyeon.
-You'll live a long life. -How do you know?
Because I bad-mouth you a lot.
Gosh, Mother.
Autumn's here.
Right? Don't you smell the stinky ginkgo nuts?
No, I don't.
Grandma looks like a beautiful cosmos flower in full bloom.
Oh, please.
-Oh, I'll be late. I'm heading out. -All right.
Thanks, Mom.
-See you later! -Bye!
INFO SESSION FOR SEONJU SMART CITY'S SELF-DRIVING PLATFORM
I didn't think they'd jump the gun, but they're really participating.
Is that bravery?
No, they just don't know their place.
Mr. Choi told me a lot about you.
I wish I was here to relay good news,
but I'm here to speak ill of another company.
Gosh, I'm embarrassed.
Don't be.
We live off trash talk and accusations after all.
We're very used to this.
Then I trust that you'll take good care of this.
Of course. We look forward to our continued partnership.
Newspapers make profits from ads, you know.
You don't need to be embarrassed.
If it's a fact, you're serving the common good.
It's a fact. That I can guarantee.
I'm sure you know about the smart city project DQ Group landed
for 1,8 trillion won.
Yes, we sure do. Nice introduction.
They're doing a bid to select a self-driving car company,
and I know of a company that's participating.
It's a start-up, so you may not have heard of it.
It's called Cheongmyeong Company.
Cheongmyeong Company?
Hello.
Is this Cheongmyeong Company?
Yes, how can we help you?
Hello. I'm Hwang Sang-hyeon, a reporter from Hyungju Daily.
We're working on an article
about self-driving car start-ups.
-Hello. -My gosh. Hello.
-May I interview you? -Of course.
-Please have a seat. -Okay.
-Thank you. -Have a seat here.
-Nice to meet you. -Hello.
-I asked around in the industry.
Everyone says Cheongmyeong Company is the new dark horse.
Has the word already spread?
It sure has. I also heard that you plan to participate
in the bidding for Seonju Smart City's self-driving platform.
Yes, that's correct.
They recently dealt with an incident.
A ransomware attack.
Ransomware? You mean, they were hacked?
That's right. This isn't some offline business.
We're talking about self-driving cars here.
Right. For other types of businesses, it'd be a simple data leak.
But for autonomous driving, it could kill you.
Exactly.
As a start-up, I'm sure you've had to overcome
countless hurdles to get here.
Are there any specific incidents that you remember?
There have been many hurdles along the way.
But we managed to overcome everything, and the company is stable now.
I'm glad to hear that.
The company I interviewed yesterday dealt with a bad ransomware attack
and had to pay over 200 million won.
Really? We also had…
Oh, no. You guys dealt with one too?
Well, they got some outside help and managed to get it sorted out.
But it's something that shouldn't have happened to begin with.
You're absolutely right.
It wouldn't be right for a company like that to get such a big project.
I wholeheartedly agree.
My, we are serving the common good.
YOUR LIFE CAN BE HACKED
That's a sexy headline.
"An Autonomous Vehicle Start-up Failed to Protect Itself From Hackers.
Your Life Can Be Hacked, Too!"
If the article is published,
it'll be hard for them to get the project, right?
It wouldn't end there.
An article like this can completely destroy
a start-up of this size.
They'll go bust right away.
The number you have dialed…
-Is this yours? -Yes.
I WANT TO TAKE THE UPPER-FLOOR ELEVATOR
I quit my job to start a business with you.
I have to say, that was very gutsy of me.
Dal-mi.
2STO didn't force me
to work on the self-driving system.
I volunteered.
Why?
Just in case you still remembered that day. Like I do.
I was thinking it'd be nice to start another business with you guys.
Maybe we can build a self-driving system.
I thought if you started working on a self-driving system…
Be it the path you've never been on or a road
where you can't see a thing due to fog or rain.
A world where you are not afraid to go or drive anywhere.
I wanted to do it with you.
That's why…
That day, you were my trophy,
my pride…
You were my dream.
I wanted to be your trophy,
your pride,
and your dream.
My comfort,
my wings…
I wanted to be your comfort
and your wings.
As the real me.
That's why I started working on it.
What about you?
Me too.
Let's
bid on the project.
I considered all the variables before making this decision.
Okay, let's do it.
They're bidding soon.
But what if a similar problem occurs again?
We're not just giving it a try.
It's not just for the experience.
I'll make it happen.
I had no friends back then. So your letters were my only comfort.
Good Boy, are you going somewhere?
My name isn't Won In-jae anymore. It's Seo In-jae.
Put your emotions aside. I want your rational judgment.
This actually works.
What are you praying for?
If we win, I'll propose.
