I'll just get right to it.

Ms. Kim.

You're fired.

This is certainly a different approach.

Could this be your way of flirting?

Clingy one day, threatening the next,

blowing hot and cold

until you make the other person go crazy?

If you thought this would work on me,

you're way off base.

Who tries to court someone by firing them?

So you're seriously firing me right now?

Is this because I kissed--

Is this revenge for what happened?

There are no personal reasons

behind your layoff.

Then what is this supposed to be?

My job here at the Potato Lab

was to lay off everyone
except for essential personnel.

But the fact
that I'm the one getting fired

makes it feel pretty personal.

Why me? What exactly disqualifies me

from being considered essential?

You're the sole nonexpert on the team.
You have no relevant experience.

You have contributed the least
to the research. In short…

you're redundant.

Redundant?

Did you even look

at my time sheet?

Yes, I did. You are quite diligent.

-But--
-What the lab needs right now

is experts, not diligent employees.

And yet, I'm not considered one
even though I've worked here

for six years?

Ms. Kim.

Could you tell me
what exactly your job entails?

Me? I breed the potatoes…

pretty well.

I also educate farmers
about potato varieties

and manage the contract farms.

Sometimes I help out
at the Admin building and the Work Team--

So you don't have a main job.

So I'm a jack of all trades.
A vital talent.

Researchers do research,
admin work is done at the Admin building,

and the Work Team
does other miscellaneous tasks.

You aren't essential…

to any of these teams, Ms. Kim.

Hold on.

People aren't machines.

The workload can't be
split neatly like that.

Every team needs a helping hand,
and I'm the one who helps!

Yes, and that only proves
that you are not an expert.

Anyone can step in to help.

You have not led any research projects
or contributed to any academic papers.

You haven't presented
at a single conference.

I have failed to find

any proof that you are an asset
to developing new varieties.

You didn't fail to find proof.
You're just not aware of it.

Don't think you know everything.

Then you tell me.

What were your goals
as a potato researcher

for the past six years?

What did you do to achieve them?
And what were the results?

You think I just came
to work here without any goals?

My goal

is to develop a potato variety
and name it after me.

As for results…

That's as good an answer as any.

You do not have to leave immediately.

Since you are currently
in charge of onboarding,

I'll send out the official notice
once Mr. Kwon's training period ends.

You may begin transitioning today.

What the hell is wrong with him?

Damn it.

Damn it!

That man is out of his mind.

You're nuts!

You psychopath.

He's not human. He's cold as steel.

God damn it.

What am I going to do?

NEW MESSAGE

EPISODE 4
THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN DELETED

I don't know, I don't know
Even if you tell me

A million times
I don't know, I don't know

-Hey, Hwan-kyung!
-Whoa, sh*t!

Can you knock first?

Oops.

I heard you singing
and thought you were cleaning.

That doesn't mean
you can just barge in here!

You do know that
I'm a full-grown man, don't you?

Technically.

But you're not a man in my eyes,
nor are you fully grown.

Then what am I?

A neutered puppy?

Right now, I'd say

you're a plucked chicken in broth.

-Wanna go eat chicken this weekend?
-Get out!

Jeez.

Stop being dramatic.
I already saw everything, anyway.

Why can't I keep my damn mouth shut?

What? What's going on?

Well,

Mi-kyung's not home yet.

We were going to eat out.

Maybe something came up.

But we're having gopchang.

Beef gopchang.

Hello.

Wow, why does it smell so good in here?

Hey,

sorry for bothering you.

Did my sister
go on a business trip today?

Not that I know of. Why do you ask?

It's nothing big,

but she won't answer her phone
and she still hasn't come home.

I wonder if something happened at work.

Come on. Thank you, good night.

Good night.

Come on.

So you're seriously firing me right now?

MAIN HALL

Oh, Mi--

I hope you have been well.

Yes.

Can I get something to eat?

Wait, your eyebrow…

Here's the thing.

I've been to
my fair share of restaurants

during my work trips, right?

But nothing beats
Gilmoon Temple's seasoned greens.

Seriously, you deserve a Michelin star.

I almost forgot.

In exchange for the food.

Substituted with soy milk?

Yes.

From a vegan bakery?

-Of course.
-Accepted.

It never ceases to amaze me.

You quit everything to become a monk,

including alcohol, smoking, and meat.

You even disowned all your kids.

But you can't quit coffee?

Buddha never said
that you're not allowed to have coffee.

Wow, you're so funny.

So what's the matter?

-What do you mean?
-Our Ms. Mi-kyung

only comes to visit
when her heart is troubled.

Wow, you even read minds now?

All you're missing is an eye patch.
Then you could be King Kung Ye.

You know you do that, right?

Hiding behind jokes when you're upset.

Well, it's just a little thing

that pissed me off.

It's nothing serious.

You drove all the way here from Pyeongwon
because it's nothing serious?

Mi-kyung.

Do you remember what I told you
when our family split up?

Yes, of course.

"Be a lamp unto yourself. Do not wait
for others to light it for you."

Exactly.

Just focus on you,
however the storm blows.

That's all you need to do.

Yeah.

You've clearly been here
for too long to remember

that the world is filled
to the brim with jerks

and one wrong encounter
can mess up your life.

I see. Well, in that case…

What can you do but face them head-on?

-Do the other monks know, Dad?
-What?

That you're this punk monk in private?

How are the kids?

Jin-kyung's busy raising the kids.

Hwan-kyung hasn't starved to death yet.

Goodness, slow down.
I'll pack you some to take home.

It's okay.

This is fine. But please pass on
a message to Buddha for me.

Tell him to visit me in my dreams

and tell me six winning numbers.

You silly goose.

You can't say things
like that in a temple.

Oh, wait!

-Buddha is speaking. Write it down.
-Whoa!

-Six, seventeen, twenty-one.
-Whoa. Wow!

Gosh.

I'm on the Next Level

Open the door beyond

I'll destroy you in the end

as*h*le.

I bet this is super expensive.

And fully tricked out.

Guess I didn't have to worry.

Where have you been?
Why didn't you pick up?

I was so worried I couldn't sleep.

You have sleepy eyes.

So you went to Gilmoon Temple, right?

How's our monk? Is he well?

"Our monk"?

That's rude. How dare you
refer to Dad like that?

What? Am I wrong?

Legally, we're strangers.

He didn't even call on Children's Day.

What are you talking about?
You're over 30 now.

Did you throw your conscience
out the window?

But I'm still the baby of the family!

When Mr. Byun visits his parents,

they still call him "baby."

Jeez.

Then go find a rich sister

who will baby you and get adopted.

I won't stop you.

Anyway, why did you go see Dad?

Did something happen?

Nothing happened.

I just wanted some seasoned naengyi.

Honestly, I think Dad kinda failed you.

The eldest daughter of three
whose mother passed away early.

That alone kept you
from becoming chill and carefree.

But then he left his kids
and became a monk,

turning you into this frustrating adult.

So this is your way

of asking me to beat you up, right?

And Dad didn't abandon us.

He made you breakfast
and ironed your school uniform

every single day
until you graduated high school.

And he still managed to go to work!

Dad did all he could.

And now he's living his life.

All we have to do is support him.

I'm going to bed. Oh, right.

I'm going to make bibimbap
with that tomorrow,

so don't touch it.

-Mi-kyung.
-What?

Let me know
if there's anything on your mind.

I'm an adult now. I'm all grown.

If you get into a fight,

I'll throw salt at them
from the sidelines.

God.

Okay.

I'll tell you if I get
into a fight with some pork belly.

Bring some herb salt with you.

There's no way her MBTI is an F.
She's a T through and through.

POTATO LAB

Hey!

Your meeting's done already?

Yes. Ow!

Oh, my heart.

-What is it?
-What?

-What is it?
-Why? What's wrong?

Did he scold you?

No.

-He's so hot.
-Oh, come on.

He's so much hotter up close.

It's not good for the heart.

Don't you think
our chief is really gentle?

I'm just a newbie,

but he asked me
if I had any ideas for the lab

or suggestions for improvements.

Someone please explain to Hee-dong.

He wasn't being nice to you.

He's sizing you up.

No way.

It's your turn, Mr. Ko.

Why me?

MK should be going after you.

He said he already talked to Ms. Kim.

What?

Oh, yes.

I had a chance to talk to him earlier.

Then you should've told me!

Now I don't have time to prepare.

Why did you talk to him first?

I was just the first meeting
on the schedule, that's all.

-Hey, Mr. Ko.
-Yes.

When you go talk to him,

just be careful not to run your mouth.

And don't act all buddy-buddy.

Gosh, I'm sure it's all lost on you,

but fashionistas like us

share a certain special bond.

A couple of trips
to the department store together

and before you know it,
you've become friends.

Wait, you bought that
at a department store?

Oh, you ignorant fool.

My goodness, what is this?
A shirt or braided straw?

Yikes! Nope. That's gross.

My goodness. Look at him.

-What's with that nonsense?
-Wait.

What about him?
He's dressed like a lotus lantern,

and it's not Buddha's Birthday.

How is this braided straw?

Why are you laughing?

Yes, come in.

Wait, hold on!

Hey! You shouldn't
push your superior like--

Hello, Mr. So.

What is it?

I have a query, Mr. So.

Go ahead, then.

That day…

I was too harsh, wasn't I?

So…

about the layoff.

Is it absolutely 100% confirmed?

I could give you
the notice now if you'd like.

Oh, no! No, of course not.

I was just wondering

if you were open to reconsideration.

That's right.
This is the Kim Mi-kyung smile.

Even if you're made of steel,
you wouldn't spit on a smiling face--

I thought I made myself clear.

I do not revoke a decision
once it's made.

PTOOEY

I guess you would.

Then I'm going to really…

actually leave.

I'm going to see
what other jobs are out there!

-Okay.
-No, really.

I could quit on my own before you fire me.

Am I supposed to be upset about that?

This ridiculous jerk and his principles.

Salary freeze.

My salary is already
on deep discount as it is,

but I'll let it drop more.

This year-- no, next year.

I'll freeze my salary
for the next two years!

Wow, so cheap! So affordable!

Honestly, this is a deal
you don't want to miss.

You can't find this kind
of cost-effective manpower anywhere.

Ms. Kim.

Yes, Chief! I'm right here!

Please tell Mr. Ko to come in.

What are you doing?

Hey.

Nothing, I'm just a little tired.

You're acting strange today.

You look out of it.

What do you mean? I always do.

I've been out of it since I turned 30.

Here, the sikhye's on me today.

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

Gosh, I almost forgot.

Ms. Ju, didn't you say
you had a headhunter you knew?

-Can you give me their number?
-Headhunter? That's random. Why?

So the thing is, my friend

said they wanted to get away
from the city and the smog.

And they're looking
for a job in this field.

What?

Even after they saw how you work?

Yeah.

You'll get their card later.
It's on my desk.

Great, thank you.

Ms. Kim

doesn't have any other friends
besides us and Ong-ju.

That's true.

If you were her, would you recommend
that your friend become

an agricultural researcher?

No, I wouldn't,
even if they were my worst enemy.

That's what I'm saying.

Mr. Park.

-Yeah.
-Did you hear?

Hear what?

Ms. Yoon dropped by
Ms. Yoon's office yesterday!

What do you mean? Ms. Yoon?

Yoon Hee-jin?

Yes!

The doors are closing.

Ms. Yoon. We need to talk.

Where's Hee-jin?

I don't know.

Tanning somewhere
in the Mediterranean?

I know you saw her yesterday.

Here, at Wonhan.

Are you doing this on purpose?

You know I looked everywhere for her.

And if you find her?
You think she'll just forgive you?

Don't you think it's time to quit?

Seeing you being so clingy
even after getting divorced,

it's embarrassing.

I'm not being clingy--

Do you really not know where she is?

I don't.

Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

What is this?

Grand Moulton.

Pyeongwon?

KIM JIN-SU

I'm telling you,

someone checked
into a room here with my card.

Doesn't that count for something?
At least tell me what room it is.

I'm not asking you
to break down the door.

I'm sorry, sir.

As per our hotel's policy,
we cannot disclose guest information.

I could relay your contact info--

She knows my number!

I do apologize.

Sorry I shouted at you.

Then could you deliver

a message to the room?

That someone's waiting for them
at the cafe on the first floor.

I will.

Thank you.

Once again, I apologize.

The person you're trying to reach
is not available.…

When did you come back to Korea?

Please pick up.

I'll come to you.
Are you really going to be like this?

I'm at the first-floor cafe.

Come down.

Hello.

Ms. Kim Mi-kyung?

-Yes.
-Nice to meet you.

What? Why is she here?

I am so sorry.

It's such bad manners
to arrange for a meeting the day of.

But I just happened
to be in Pyeongwon, so…

It's totally fine.

I sent you my resume last-minute, too.

Did you have time to look at it?

-Yes.
-Resume?

I noticed your work experience
is uncommon in the agricultural field.

You worked at
Wonhan's Planning Dept. for a long time.

Did you have a particular reason
for becoming a potato researcher?

Well…

A coffee for me as well.

At the time,

I was in a place

where I needed a catalyst in my life.

Then is this
another catalyst for you?

Leaving the lab?

Well, the thing is,

I'm not quitting
because I actually want to.

I do want to keep
researching potatoes.

Are there any open positions
where I could continue this work?

To be honest,

it's going to be difficult

to get into another
agricultural lab right now,

let alone continue potato research.

I see.

But…

I'm a really hard worker
once you assign me to something.

Thank you for your time.

I'll be waiting for your call.

You can call me any time.

Sure.

You can't go a day
without spilling something, can you?

What? Why are--

-Why are you here--
-I have some business here.

Don't get the wrong impression
that I followed you.

Then leave and go about your business.

I don't even want to know
why I'm running into you.

I'm not in the mood
to deal with you right now.

You got fired by Director So, right?

Don't be too hard on yourself.

That's just what his job is.

Is that why you met up
with a headhunter? To transition?

Hey.

I told you to leave.

You still have a stain there.

You'll need to wash that.

Damn you.

So you want to continue lab work?

I heard bits and pieces from over there,

and it seemed like it.

You know what? I'll leave.

I could let you keep working.

Director So reports to me.

I'm the one who signs off on it.

It would take me one word…

and you could stop
desperately sending out resumes.

What the hell are you playing at now?

I'm not playing at anything.

It's just…

for old times' sake.

What?

Yes, for old times' sake.

I can at least do that much for you.

No, I want to do it for you.

Fine.

Then…

can I ask you for a favor?

What is it?

Take your right hand…

and lift it up

all the way like this.

My hand? Why?

-Like this?
-Yeah.

And then,

spread your fingers wide.

Okay.

Now put all your strength
into slapping yourself across the face.

Slap myself…

-Come on, Mi-kyung.
-What?

I'm trying to help a nutjob
come to his senses.

Now's not the time to be stubborn.

I'm not being stubborn.
I'm preserving my dignity.

Even if I'm desperate,
I'm not picking up sh*t from the ground.

My God, you freaking piece of…

I mean it, Mi-kyung!

My number's still the same!

Stubborn as always.

Hey, White Tiger!

You texted me for the first time in a year

just to make me a delivery boy
to Room 1202?

Wasn't it sweet, though?

Like a surprise gift?

When did you come back to Korea?

Yesterday.

I heard you were here

and came down to play with you
right away.

Weekend plans?

Cleaning the window screens.

Are you joking?

No. Why?

You're so boring.

Why would you live like that
in a place like this?

You should go see the sheep!
Walk by the wind farms!

Cleaning window screens
is also an excellent pastime.

It combines physical exercise
and satisfaction.

Wow.

Oh, I can see it now.

I can see your future.

So Baek-h*.

You're going to die alone.

Seems like you're doing well.

Because I know how to have fun.

What about you?
Anything interesting happen?

A bird chased me
and I rolled down a hill.

I also got sprayed with pesticides.

What a talent.

How can you say stuff like that
so boringly?

It all happened at work.

You really want to know more?

Oh, forget it.

Then what about a person?

Any interesting individuals?

An interesting person?

Wonhan, Wonhan!

You Wonhan b*stards!

What? Haven't you ever seen someone
with tattooed eyebrows before?

What was that smile?

You thought of someone, didn't you?

No, I didn't.

You liar. Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh!

I'm so curious.

There's so much I want to ask you. But!

I know you'll never spill.

It's already pissing me off.

I'm going to lose sleep over this.

It's nothing like what you're thinking.
And it can't happen.

Why not?

Is she married?
Tell her to get divorced.

You only live once.

INCOMING CALL

Should you get that?

Why would I want to ruin my mood?

He can listen
to the ringback tone all he wants.

I know I shouldn't get involved,

but this whole time,
Ki-se's been looking for you everywhere.

Avoiding him like this
isn't good for either of you.

Would you look at this?

Whose side are you on right now?

We've been best friends forever.

Park Ki-se's only your friend
because he was my husband.

If I don't like him,
you shouldn't like him either.

That's what friendship is.

I want to argue every single point
you've just made…

-but you won't listen, will you?
-Of course not. My time is precious.

Just leave it. Let's eat already.
The food's getting cold.

Have a seat.

It looks so good.

It's so good.

-It's good?
-Yeah, it's amazing.

Eat up.

…is not available. Please leave a message…

Why are you so sick?

Forty-nine…

Forty-nine.

Ms. Kim!

Can you look at a slide for me?

What slide?

Thank you.

Oh my gosh!

What are you doing?

I'm sorry. They threatened me too.

Threatened?

What are you two doing?

Ms. Jang.

Don't be too rough with her.

Yes, ma'am.

What?

What? Why are you doing this?

You. Don't you
have something to tell us?

What?

What are you…

Ms. Kim.

When we formed our Potato g*ng,

do you remember the promise we made?

Yes, I remember.

"No secrets in the lab."

Then why did I…

have to hear from someone else
that you're looking for another job?

Wait, how did you…

The headhunter!

He snitched that quickly?

Some professional he is.

What is going on?
Why are you quitting all of a sudden?

No, I…

Hee-dong won't open
the door until I say so.

-Just tell us already!
-Tell us!

Wait, I…

I have no appetite.

DEPUTY GENERAL MANGER
JU SEUNG-HEE

Very nice.

-What? What is it?
-Yes!

Yes, I'll be right there! Thank you!

I thought it was an emergency.

It is an emergency!

It's crazy, I can't believe it!

Hey, do you know that comic series?

The Moonlight, the Whip, and the Beast.

How many times do I have to tell you?

People like me
don't know anything you read.

Anyway, it was published 20 years ago,

but it became the stuff of legend
when it got cancelled

for being really indecent.

But there's someone who wants
to give a copy away for free!

Right now!

At Yangyang! In Gangwon-do!

Yangyang, Yangyang!

Hey, give me the car keys.
I need to go now.

-What?
-Come on, hurry up.

It seems weird, though. It's that rare,
but they're giving it away?

What?

Yeah, I guess so.

It's amazing how generous he is.

-"He"?
-Danchung Apartments, apartment 1006.

It's a guy?

-Building 207, apartment 1006…
-Wait, you're going to a man's place?

Ong-ju!

Here for the books?

Sir, please let me express
my gratitude first.

No need, just take it. Quick!

Before my wife comes back. Go on!

Peace and health to you and your family!

You'll be blessed, truly!

May you rake in money
with every breath--

Stop yelling about your pervert comics
and let's go already!

The Moonlight, the Whip, and the Beast!

I'll cherish it for the rest of my life!

I'll take it with me to the grave!

Thank you!

You're practically drooling.
Are you that happy?

Yeah, I love it.

It's fantastic.

I feel so inspired,
like it's nourishing my soul.

I truly feel alive right now.

What is it even about, anyway?

Let's just say that the plot
can't be described in a PG-13 drama.

Don't worry about it.

Whoa, it's the ocean.

Yeah, it's a nice view.

Hey, do you want to go swimming?

Right now?

It's been years since we went on vacation.

Let's just jump in while we're here.

So you're saying,

you're going to get in my car
in dripping wet clothing?

Okay, fine. I'll just take it off, then.

I can swim in my bra and panties.

In your underwear?
Are you out of your mind?

Then what do you want me to do?

Should I just keep my pants on?

Or just my shirt and no pants?

Or nothing but my shoes?

Don't put it on, don't take it off…
What is this, a trick question?

Then don't turn left or right,

and don't go forward or backward.

See? Isn't that freaking annoying?

That's how I felt just now. Swag.

Come on, whoa. Skrrt!

Wow! It's the beach!

Oh, that's cold! It's cold!

How is she so excited?
Is she a puppy or something?

Do you want some beer?

Yes! One crate!

Are you all right?

Yes.

Hallelujah.

Wait. Where did she go?

Have a glass.

-Really?
-Sure, have some.

-Okay, cheers!
-Cheers.

Here we are.

Hey, more beer! Yay!
Thank you.

Let's have another round.

Cheers!

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

-That's good.
-Nice.

So you're all surfers?

Yes, we are.

That's why you're so…

So healthy and fit.

Honey!

Can I ask how old you are?

-You look around my age.
-No, you look way younger--

Honey!

Oh my gosh!

Did you know?

I've always really wanted
to learn how to surf.

Honey!

Ma'am!

Your husband's looking for you!

Honey! There you are!

Honey.

How can you do this?

We just got back together! How could you?

Do I have to sue for infidelity again?

-What?
-Do I have to sue each of them

for tens of millions of won
to get you back?

I'm so sorry. I don't know him.

He must be crazy. Don't--

Ye-na won't stop crying.
She keeps asking for you.

Please come back home.

What are you talking about?

Mister, if you're drunk,

-go somewhere else.
-Honey!

-Go!
-We have to go.

-No, wait!
-Honey.

Wait, I don't know who Ye-na is!

Wait! Come back! Wait!

Honey, please! Come to your senses.

sh*t.

What do you think you're doing?

What?

I got rid of them for you
because they were bothering you.

I wanted to be bothered.

I wanted them to pester me forever!

I didn't realize you wanted that.

You couldn't read a room
even if you had a magnifying glass.

Gosh darn it, he was exactly my type!

What am I going to do now?

You barely met him, so how's he your type?

Besides,

a man who isn't working on a weekday?

The only thing he'll do
is make you suffer.

What do you know?

Damn it.

Honey! Wait for me!

APOLOGIES FOR THE LATE DELIVERY
PLEASE RAISE IT WELL

Are there any other flowers that you like?

False goat's beard.

MK. You didn't eat breakfast, right?

-Yes!
-You didn't eat either, right?

-You didn't eat either?
-Of course!

I even prepared indigestion medicine.

Knew I could count on you, Foodie Jang.

So smart, so proud!

What is it? Why are we so excited?

It's our regular meeting day today.

Wait a minute.

Is this your first time?

-Right, it is.
-Yes! Is it fun?

It's not just a normal meeting.

Mr. Bu's wife runs
a convenience store, you see.

And every three months,
when we have our regular meeting,

she insists on treating us all

to reward us for our hard work.

Now, think about it.

You walk into a convenience store.

And you can take all the food there

without any sort of restrictions.

That…

is heaven!

Exactly!

Really? It's really unlimited?

-Yes, totally!
-Really?

Gosh.

My parents birthed me…

but Mr. Bu raises me.

Mr. Bu!

Follow me!

Dad!

-Dad!
-Dad!

-Mr. Bu! Mr. Bu!
-Mr. Bu! Mr. Bu!

-Say what?
-Mr. Bu!

-Hands up!
-Mr. Bu!

-Break it down!
-Mr. Bu!

All of these flavors of pastries

have been sold out everywhere.

-Is there cherry?
-Yeah.

-Yay.
-Wow, cherry.

What?

We must have gotten the wrong room.

It's been so long since our last meeting.

-That's not--
-Research Team, about-face!

Forward!

Hold on!

This is the Research Team
meeting room, though.

-Yes.
-It is.

-It is.
-Then why…

Wait…

Why are you here?

I heard you had a regular meeting today.

-I wanted to attend.
-Okay, sure.

Ow…

For what reason…

Mr. So?

MAROO K RESEARCH PROGRESS REPORT

The expected yield for Maroo K this year

is about 31 tons per hectare.

It's at a similar rate as last year.

As for the distresses…

Planning on calling
Chief So "Chief So Ridiculous."

Because he's being ridiculous.

…4.1%.

And secondly, cracking decreased by 1.3%.

Be patient.

-The bread isn't going anywhere.
-Thirdly,

-the hollow heart…
-But I'm still mad.

Not letting us eat
when the food is right there.

-Isn't this abuse?
-…0.4%.

And lastly, the internal rust spots.

The internal rust spots decreased by

0.1%.

He doesn't care about our work,
so why is he even here?

-He's so overbearing!
-That's how much

they have decreased in the past year.

NEW MESSAGE

And also,

if you look at the third section here,

we use diagnosis test kits
periodically to test…

for PVY,

and PLRV,

as well as PVX.

PVX.

As of right now,
only these are shown here,

but we also use diagnosis kits

for PVM,

PVM.

And when…

we examined the PVM…

well…

THE DANGEROUS CHAT

…from all PVX…

I'm f*cked.

…PLRV…

PLRV, and…

PV…

VX…

P…

M…

So when we examined them-- hold on.

Mr. So, this previous step here--

Look here!

-What? MK?
-Ms. Kim!

Ms. Kim!

-MK!
-Ms. Kim!

MK!

What are you doing?

-Ms. Jang! You--
-What do I do?

-What do we do?
-What do I do?

Damn it!

Damn it!

Ms. Kim.

What are you doing
with my phone right now?

Ms. Kim!

POTATO LAB RESEARCH TEAM

SO WHY IS HE EVEN HERE?

HE'S SO OVERBEARING!

DELETE

DELETE MESSAGE(S)

-Ms. Kim.
-Oops. My mistake.

I thought it was mine,
but it was your phone.

Goodness me.

MK!

Ms. Kim!

Even if something like that happened,

how can you run off like that
with the chief's phone?

So? Did you delete it?

Yes!

-Nice!
-Great job!

Ms. Kim.

Why did you do that?
I'm the one who messed up.

Oh, it's fine. Forget it.

He's already out to get me, so it's fine.

He'll probably just think
I'm going crazy again.

Come on.

Ms. Kim.

You're something else.

It was shocking how fast you moved.

-Good grief.
-Take a breath and let's eat.

-Ms. Jang, eat.
-But!

Wouldn't Mr. So also have

the messenger app
installed on his computer?

-Of course he would.
-Yeah.

Why?

When you delete messages on the phone…

they stay on the desktop version.

What?

What?

What in the world did she do?

Ms. Kim! About what just happened--

Where are you going? Ms. Kim!

CHIEF'S OFFICE

What's going on now?

Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim!

Hold on.

How would I know
the password? "Wonhan"?

INCORRECT PASSWORD

"So Baek-h*." Damn it!

"Baekho1818."

Damn it.

Darn it!

What's your password?

Your computer password.

Can you tell me, please?

What are you trying to do right now?

It's nothing weird, it's just…

just tell me, please!
I just need to use it for ten seconds.

Mr. So?

Why would I need to tell you that?

Please leave.

Even by your standards,

you've gone way too far.

Ms. Kim.

I wrote mean texts.

I cursed you out.

I meant to send them to my friends,

but I accidentally sent them
to the lab group chat.

So I was trying to delete that. I'm sorry.

That's it? That's all this fuss is about?

It's not that simple.

I wrote insults I can't say out loud,

and I tore into you like crazy.

If you saw it,

you would be really offended.

I won't be.

Your opinions and thoughts
do not matter to me at all.

However,

since you've
worked yourself up into a fit

and can't focus on your work,

I'll indulge your wishes, then.

CONFIRM

Be careful from now on.

And please be mindful
of your superiors in an official setting.

I'm sorry.

THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN DELETED

No, wait.

Why do I need to hide?

Jeez.

Your opinions and thoughts
do not matter to me at all.

You don't matter to me either,
so don't worry!

I wrote insults I can't say out loud,

and I tore into you like crazy.

If you saw it,
you would be really offended.

Oh no. Oh my gosh.

Oh dear!

What do you need me to do?

POTATO LAB

THE MOONLIGHT, THE WHIP, AND THE BEAST

Put it down.

Yes, ma'am.

You came out of nowhere.

I just find it interesting.

Why is he on my mind? Whatever.

I think I'd haunt you if I were a ghost.

I'd follow you everywhere.

I think you mean, "Thank you."

Why are you doing this to me?

Please, stop! Hold on.

That's what love is.

I think they're both
just out of their minds.

Did you know about
So Baek-h*’s girlfriend?

You cry yourself to sleep at night
because you miss me, don't you?

You're way more shameless
than I thought.
