A Familiar Taste

Cheon Woo-jeong was looking for a high-paying short-term job to cover his expenses. While working as a professional staff member on a luxury cruise, he encountered a mysterious passenger who had a unique proposal. "Do you have experience in interpreting?" the man asked. "I speak English and some Filipino," Woo-jeong replied, hoping to secure a professional role. The man made a generous offer: he needed Woo-jeong’s linguistic skills for a series of private meetings. Needing the income, Woo-jeong accepted the position, assuming it would be a standard corporate task. However, he soon realized that his new employer had a very different way of doing business. "Focus on your task and follow my instructions," the man commanded during their sessions. "I think there’s a misunderstanding. You clearly said this was for translation services…" Woo-jeong argued, feeling the pressure of the job. Now, Woo-jeong finds himself caught in a challenging professional game. His employer seems to enjoy testing his patience and dedication. To succeed, Woo-jeong must stay professional and navigate the complex demands of a man who expects absolute loyalty and perfection from those who work for him.
