*This article contains spoilers. In episode 10 of the tvNTV series "Potato Laboratory" (viewership rating: 1.9%), Baek-ho (Kang Tae-oh) recalls what he did six years ago.
The scene shows Baekho confessing his feelings to Mi Kyung (Lee Sun Bin). Baekho said, "Six years ago, when I was in the HR team at Wonhan Retail, I was asked to tell you something. It's something you should know, so please listen.
"I wanted to do it. It was an unfair and wrong way to do it, but I couldn't refuse. Instead, I finished the job in a very unscrupulous way that would avoid legal issues."
He continued, "The request I received was to kick out Mi Kyung, who is the head of the Product Planning Team 2 at SSM headquarters, from the company.
Everyone implicitly knew that being transferred to another department was a severe punishment equivalent to losing one's position. My intention was that the employee would be unable to bear the pressure and isolation and would leave the company of his own accord.
Baekho continued, "I pushed someone who did nothing wrong into a corner and then forgot about that person's existence. I can't imagine how difficult a time that person must have been, how lonely and painful it must have been.
I never even thought about it for a moment. That's the kind of person I am, the person you love,'" he told her, to which Mi-kyung was taken aback, "No. I can't believe it. What are you talking about?"
Baekho expressed his frustration by saying, "You know what I mean now, right? Whether you say bad things about me or hit me, I want you to just stay mad at me." Mikyung responded, "Why? If I do something,
Do you think that will ease your guilt? Because if you say bad things about me a few times, I think people will say that I'm okay? The employee couldn't stand the pressure and isolation and left the company. Baekho only had one line to say.
"I was betrayed by my boyfriend who promised to marry me, and because of all the strange rumors, I was distrusted by my coworkers.
When he turned his back on me, he was sent to another team to be kicked out. I was frustrated and sad, but I thought, "That's right. It's better than that. Let's start afresh." In the end,
And you know how I was treated there? No one spoke to me, no one looked me in the eye, I just sat there.
"But every day from morning to night, I felt like I was slowly drying up and dying," she said, weeping. She continued, "I did that for three whole months, and I thought I couldn't go on any more, and I really felt like I was going to abandon myself if I continued like this.
I felt like I was going to give up, so I ran away, embracing the frustration, contempt, and self-loathing that made me feel like I was a worthless person. It took a long time for me to get better, but I
I feel like I'm a little happier to be alive now, but so what Baekho said means that it was all part of Baekho's plan?" he asked, agonizing.
Mikyung then said, "So the reason why I was in such pain and suffering was all because of Baekho? Please answer me properly.
Did Baekho really do that to me?" to which Baekho replied, "Yes."
