EPISODE 2:


CONGRATULATIONS
TOTAL WINNINGS: 1,977,507,240 WON

It was smoggy when I arrived
in the city from the airport

but riding in the van
made it feel like a road trip...

LOTTO


I checked it hundreds of times.

The odds

are 1 in 8,145,060.

The jackpot is 1.9 billion won.

Minus the 33 percent tax

I take home 1.3 billion won.



LOTTO


It's 1.3 billion won.

It's 1.3 billion won.

It's 1.3 billion won.

It's 1.3 billion won...

What can I do with 1.3 billion won?

RESIGNATION LETTER

That's a bit too violent.

Mr. Gong, are you out of your mind?

What the heck are you doing?

You really think you can...

No, that's...

Let's stick to positive thoughts.

It's an imagination,
but this isn't me.

What's wrong?

- What...
- Where are you going?

- Where...
- Where are you going?

ASSISTANT MANAGER YANG

Why are you popping up here?

Wait, it's still imagination.

This is way too much like me.

ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR JANG

Darn it.

INCOMING CALL
MR. GONG EUN-TAE

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Yang.
Are you available to talk?

Yes.

I'm taking the morning off today.

Could you just handle
the morning assignment meeting?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

I'll be back before lunch.

Okay.

LOTTO


HANKYEONG BANK

How can I help you, sir?

Well...

I'm here to collect my lottery prize.

Do you have
the winning ticket with you?

Yes.

- Here it is.
- Thank you.

All right, it's verified.

Right this way, please.

- Have a seat here.
- Thank you.

Take a look at this while you wait.

Okay, thank you.

Have a seat here.

Take a look at this while you wait.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Oh, congratulations to you too.

What are your plans?

I'm not quite sure yet.

Crazy, isn't it?

I'm sorry?

They say the odds are 1 in 8 million.

Just yesterday, I felt like
the luckiest person on earth.

But sitting here

with another winner makes me feel

a lot less special.

I suppose you're right.

Have you decided what you'll do?

That's my plan.

Sir.

Please come in.

Sure.

- I'll go ahead, then.
- Go on.

- Congratulations on your win.
- Thank you.

- Here's my card.
- I see.

- And this is the prize claim guide.
- I see.

Just take a look when you can.

First off, we need to open an account
to process your winnings.

May I have your ID
and the winning ticket?

Oh, sure.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Please fill in your details
in the highlighted sections.

Okay.

Here you go.

Is that everything?

Yes, you're all set.

Just like that

luck slipped into my account

so casually

as if it were nothing at all.

One, two, three, four

five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten digits...

The total is 1,324,925,855 won.

My account now holds 1.3 billion won.

Welcome...

One coffee, please.

- Mr. Park.
- Yes?

- Ms. Lee.
- Yes?

What's for lunch today?

How about sundaeguk?
It's been a while.

What do you think, Ms. Lee?

I'm good with anything.

Sundaeguk...

Isn't it a bit too ordinary?

Mr. Gong isn't here

so I thought we could keep it simple.

What would you have suggested
if he were here?

If he were here...

I hadn't thought that far.

Let's get some marinated raw crab.

- I'm sorry?
- Right now?

We have to leave now to get a table.

Let's go.

- But everyone else is still working.
- Come.

Yes, sir.

Did something good happen?

I was just having
a pleasant daydream.

Daydreams are good.

Imagination is how we endure reality.

Mr. Oh.

Have you ever thought
about what you'd do

if you won the lottery?

I mean

everyone imagines it
at least once, right?

Well...

I'd still run my café.

It's not like I'm doing this
because I need money.

What about you?

I'm not quite sure yet.

I might buy a house

or make some investments.

I thought you weren't
into that sort of thing.

Why do you say that?

Because you're a hard worker.

Hard workers
usually don't like stocks.

They don't find joy in making money
through stocks.

And real estate isn't easy
to manage, either.

That's true.

What do you enjoy doing?

Honestly...

I haven't figured that out.

But you don't need to decide

how to spend that money
right at this moment.

It's just a fantasy, anyway.

Of course, there's no rush.

Then don't spend it on random things

until you figure out
what you really enjoy.

But wouldn't that

defeat the purpose
of winning the lottery?

Having cash piled up in your account

is not meaningless.

Hello.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Good day.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Mr. Gong.

Hello, Ju-hui.

I thought you were taking
the morning off.

I came in early
to have lunch with my team.

But...

Team 5 has already left.

Mr. Yang took everyone out.

It looks like they went for lunch.

When?

Like 20 minutes ago?

Mr. Gong.

Hello, Ms. Joo.

Did you forget to pass down

the director's orders
about working hours?

What kind of team
storms out for lunch at 11:20 a.m.

when the rest of us is working?

Especially without their team leader.

I'm sorry.

You need to rein in your team.

INCOMING CALL
MR. GONG EUN-TAE

Hello, sir.

Where are you now?

- Well...
- Here's your marinated raw crab.

- Thank you.
- Enjoy.

The thing is...

Are you out for lunch?

Yes, we stepped out a bit early.

Didn't I tell you to keep
regular working hours?

Yes, I'm sorry.

You have five minutes.

- Get back here right now.
- I'm sorry?

Yes, understood.

Was that Mr. Gong?

Yes.

He wants us back immediately.

Right now? Where to?

It seems he's in the office.

Mr. Yang,
I think we should head back.

Go.

- What?
- I can't run back.

- We'll head back, then.
- We'll be going.

Oh, wait. The aprons.

Goodness.

Darn it.

Mr. Gong, the thing is...

What happened was...

You said you were taking
the morning off today, so...

Have you decided what you'll do?

I plan to get angry.

Excuse me?

I've never really let myself

get angry in my whole life.

I've held it in for so long.

I believe

it's time I allow myself to be angry.

That's my plan.

You shouldn't get mad
just because you're angry.

But you have to get mad
when the situation calls for it.

I hardly got mad.

In truth, I couldn't.

Maybe this lottery ticket
is my last reward

for a lifetime of biting my tongue.

Today, I'm getting mad.

Are you guys not eating?

Go have lunch.

What are you doing? Sit down.

Sit.

Why did you have to make us come back
in the middle of lunch?

I took them out early
to treat them to a nice meal.

Come on, you know.

That crab place gets packed by noon.

Mr. Yang.

Anyone listening would think
I'm your subordinate.

Okay, goodness.

My bad. That was my mistake.

It's nothing.

Let's end it here.

Let's just drop it.

This is ridiculous.

Drop what?
I haven't even started yet.

What the f*ck?

Look.

I said, my bad.

You're getting worked up

and swearing
over something this small?

- Hey, Gong.
- Watch your tone.

Am I your friend?

At first, I tried to understand you.

Do you think I wear
this team leader title for nothing?

I choose my words carefully
with your situation in mind

because I'd hate working
under someone younger too.

I've been considerate.

Do you know why I'm angry?

It feels like all my consideration

was just a complete waste of time.

That's why I'm mad.

I feel like I did something
entirely pointless.

Darn it, I get it,
so know when to stop.

You're the one who should've stopped!

I put up with your disrespect.

Why do you think I did that?

For a promotion?

Performance reviews?

I simply felt bad for you.

I didn't do a single thing wrong

but I let it go because
I felt bad about the situation.

And this is how you behave?

I am just as uncomfortable

as you are.

You aren't the only one suffering.

So stop making a fuss.

I'm done treating you like a senior.

You brought this upon yourself

and you'll bear the consequences.

Understood?

Get back to work.

This happened on my first morning off
as team leader.

Both of you,
pull yourselves together.

Don't get caught up in this nonsense

when you should be focusing
on your work.

You're not kids anymore.

- Yes, sir.
- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Come in.

This is the sales record
for last week.

And here's the report
on the new project.

At this rate, I'll be buried
under all this paperwork.

And I graphed the shifts
in consumer patterns year-over-year.

Here are the overseas brand sales

categorized by region,
as you requested.

Do you know what your problem is?

I have so many.
I'm not sure which one.

You don't give me
a moment to breathe.

You need to pace my workload.

That, I didn't consider.

The same goes
for how you treat your subordinates.

I heard Team 5 is a mess.

Yes.

Mr. Gong surprised me.

He's got quite a temper.

He learned that all from you.

And I learned it from you, Ms. Park.

How's Laknes looking?
Do you think it'll go well?

You know Mr. Gong.

He always delivers
above expectations.

He's got a good grasp
of the big picture too.

Big-picture thinking is
what causes the biggest disasters.

- Keep an eye on him.
- Yes, ma'am.

And help him smooth things over
with Mr. Yang.

What is bound to happen will happen.

But you can't leave a mess
sitting there.

Understood, ma'am.

If you'll excuse me.

I told you pacing is key, Mr. Jang.

- Ju-hui.
- Yes, Ms. Joo?

Are you looking for something?

I'm looking for last year's catalog.

For what?

Osiris's design for this year
seems familiar.

I want to dig around and check.

Let me ask you something.

Is your team taking over any brands
from another team?

Like what?

I'm just wondering

if you are supposed to get anything
from Team 4 or 5.

I'm not sure about such details.

You aren't?

Do you want me to look into it?

No, it's fine.

Let me know
if you hear anything, okay?

Sure, Ms. Joo.

- Keep up the good work.
- Thanks.

Hello, Mr. Jang.

I'm sorry?

I knew it.

I knew I'd find you here.

Everyone probably knows I'm up here.

That's why nobody else is coming up.

I'm allowed up here, right?

After all, I was your first mentor.

I really started off
on the wrong foot.

Man, the guy who got smacked
is working hard

but the guy who threw the punch
is in distress.

Where did that even come from?

It was bound to happen
sooner or later.

Once? You should've done it
dozens of times already.

So should I pat myself on the back?

No.

You should've either done it
dozens of times

or kept swallowing it until the end.

It must be driving you nuts
to go back down there and face him.

Mr. Jeong.

Remember back when we were
on Mr. Jang's team?

I used to get chewed out
all the time.

I know.

I'm only saying this now

but we used to bet
on when you'd quit.

The most ridiculous thing
back then was...

Wait, you placed bets?

Yes.

Go on. Tell me.

Anyway, the most ridiculous thing was

when Mr. Jang completely
tore me apart

and then acted all friendly,
throwing an arm around my shoulder.

Tell me about it.
I fell for that many times.

So I was 100 percent convinced
he was a psycho, a sociopath

or whatever kind of path out there.

I still think so.
That guy's a walking mental case.

But now that I'm in those shoes.

I wonder if I should go down there

and act all friendly with him.

Whenever Mr. Jang pulled that stunt

I took it as a sign to sweep it
under the rug and move on.

Why?

Because corporate life is what it is.

You just sweep it under the rug.

Yang Jun-h* will probably
do the same.

Should I do the same as Mr. Jang?

Then you'll turn
into a psychopath as well.

- Oh, jeez!
- Oh, my gosh!

Oh, man.

How long have you been standing here?

Look at you punks,
badmouthing your boss at work.

You, follow me.
We're going somewhere.

As for you, we'll talk tomorrow.

Sir, that's not what I meant.

Hey, cover for me.

You called him a psychopath first.

If you put half as much heart into me
as you do beef

I'd carry you on my back.

This is your treat today.

It's the unwritten rule to buy beef

if you get caught
badmouthing your boss.

I was planning
on treating you, anyway.

Look at this punk.

No excuses, no denial...

How shameless of you.

Thank you.

Anyway...

Are you sorting out the brands
to hand over to Team 1?

Wait.

Is that officially locked in
for Team 1?

Why bother asking?
You know how this works.

Let's get Kim his promotion.

I'll sort everything out
and hand it over by this week.

What's there to think about?

Just dump over
all the borderline ones.

They might look borderline to others

but they're like my own kids.

That's why I gave you Laknes.

A kid who'd get into SNU
without going to cram school.

You punk.

This may be overstepping

but is Mr. Jeong completely
written off for promotion?

He's the one refusing to do it.

It's not like I'm blocking him.

Hey, over here.

I told him to come.

It's not like you're sworn enemies.

He can be here.

But...

Are you leaving?

I'll take care of the bill.

You guys finish up.

Oh, right.

When I acted friendly with Mr. Jeong

I didn't mean to sweep
all the grudges under the rug.

I meant to clear the air and move on.

What are you waiting for?
Go sit down.

I'm sorry?

I was really craving beef today.

But I ended up
having it with you, Mr. Yang.

Why the sudden switch back
to formality?

Obviously, I'll keep
speaking formally to you.

Why are we pushing things this far?

I think we need a drink for this.

Yes, absolutely.

Mr. Yang.

Can I ask you something?

Go ahead and sh**t.

Am I such an important person
in your life?

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

You see

a major personal event
happened to me last weekend.

It was life-changing enough

to make me reflect on my whole life.

But thinking about it all weekend...

I realized my biggest obstacle
in life right now

is none other than you.

So I asked myself

if you were really
that important a person to me.

The answer was no.

I'm sure it's the same for you.

We're just two individuals

who lived different lives
for 30 years before crossing paths.

If we click, that's great.

But if we don't, there's no need
to stress or panic over it.

- Well, I suppose so.
- Right.

We're not that important
to each other.

There's no point
in fighting like this.

Let me ask you straight up.

Up until now

what was your actual deal with me?

- Let's drink another glass.
- Sure.

Do you honestly see yourself
as the victim here?

What do you take
your team members for?

I mean...

Have you ever once consulted us

before making critical decisions?

I've never once felt like
a valued member of this team

working alongside you
during my time here.

Think about it.

I didn't start out
treating you awfully.

When I started working under you,
I promised myself.

I'd stop expecting respect
just because I'm your senior.

I'd just focus on doing my best
as a team member.

But you?

You have no respect for your team,
let alone senior respect.

You never care
about what's going on in our heads

or what struggles we face on the job.

You never show an ounce of curiosity.

All you care about is whether
something meets your standards.

This is a workplace.

We're here to get a job done.

Right.

That's your perspective.

You may not feel the same way

but to me,
you are an important person.

As you know

my batch didn't enter
through open recruitment.

So our seniority
wasn't properly credited.

But do you really think

that's the only reason
you got promoted ahead of me?

Are you saying there's more to it?

Of course.

You're simply better than me.

Seniority aside

I would've been promoted first
if I'd been more capable.

That's how corporate works.

But part of me
wanted to mess with you.

You're younger than me,
but you seemed better than me.

Now that I've said it out loud,
I sound like a total idiot.

Don't say that.

I thought I fully understood
your frustrations

but I clearly didn't.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, I'm sorry.

At the end of the day,
this happened because I fell short.

Not at all. Hearing your side,
I wasn't entirely blameless.

I'll hand in my resignation tomorrow.

I'll handle all the handovers
before I leave

so don't worry.

Oh, right.

When I acted friendly with Mr. Jeong

I didn't mean to sweep
all the grudges under the rug.

I meant to clear the air and move on.

Is that really necessary?

I don't have the stomach
to keep working here.

I acted like a jerk
to my younger boss

and got chewed out for it.

By that logic,
I'm a lousy team leader

who couldn't manage
a single team member

and publicly humiliated him.

To be honest.

I was thinking of quitting too.

Truly.

But if we both walk out now

won't we just be quitting
because we lost to each other?

Let's not do that.

Mr. Yang.

Well...

Putting aside our personal clashes

how do you
evaluate me professionally?

I had those moments.

Like, "I hate this guy's guts,
but he's good at his job."

All the brands we brought in
were on the verge of tanking.

I give you that.

Your ability to see the big picture

and push projects through
was impressive.

I felt the same way.

Even when I thought
we didn't click at all.

I couldn't deny your competence.

I thought your years of experience
really showed.

You've got an eye for details
that others overlook.

You think so?

Which brings me to my point.

Let's team up.

Team up?

Mr. Yang.

Do you want to shake things up
with me?

You're making me feel uneasy.

I'm going to turn
this company around.

THE ORDINARY JACKPOT

GANGNAM

Yes, sir, so...

Take this chance to register
as a rental property business

and learn how to issue
electronic tax invoices.

That's how people trip
into tax evasion

while trying to save on taxes.

Yes, right.

Okay, goodbye.

Goodness, I'm sorry.

- The call went on a bit too long.
- No.

- It's fine.
- So you're looking

into both commercial spaces
and apartments?

Nothing's set in stone yet

but my priority is
stable monthly rental income.

Do you have enough capital?

Or will you need a loan?

I've budgeted for some

but I'd rather avoid loans
if possible.

You must be quite well-off
for someone young.

- Are you an office worker?
- Yes.

Smart choice.

In this day and age, relying solely
on a salary gets you nowhere.

If you have spare cash

you need a solid fallback,
like owning a building.

If I may ask,
what is your annual salary?

Around 70 million won.

Does that matter?

Of course, it matters.

That means your personal market value
is over three billion won.

To take in 70 million a year in rent

after taxes and expenses

your property needs to be worth
at least three billion.

Making that much in salary means

you're walking around
with a three-billion-won price tag.

We've got a VIP here.

You're right.

Hearing it that way.

I'm worth three billion.

A lot of people buy lottery tickets
these days, right?

That's because they don't realize
their own worth.

Now, let's see.

Apartments around this neighborhood
are solid.

Commercial buildings
come with too many...

Sir.

I'm sorry,
but I'll come back another time.

I'm sorry?

Like you said

a 3-billion-won guy shouldn't get
pushed around by 1.3 billion.

What's this 1.3 billion won?
