💢Workplace Conflict Dialogue from the Drama 'Misaeng'
KR: 오상식: 박과장, 지금 무슨 생각으로 이러는 겁니까? 과거에 당신이 저지른 일 때문에 우리 팀 전체가 얼마나 힘들어졌는지 잊었어요?
EN: Oh Sang-sik: Park Manager, what are you thinking right now? Have you forgotten how much our entire team suffered because of what you did in the past?
KR:박과장: 오과장, 당신은 너무 융통성이 없어. 세상 돌아가는 걸 좀 알 필요가 있어. 과거는 과거일 뿐이야. 지금 중요한 건 이 사업을 성공시키는 거라고.
EN: Park Manager: Oh Manager, you're too inflexible. You need to know how the world works. The past is just the past. What's important now is making this business a success.
KR:오상식: 성공? 당신은 또다시 과거의 잘못을 되풀이하려는 겁니다. 이번 사업은 절대 그런 식으로 진행될 수 없습니다.
EN: Oh Sang-sik: Success? You're trying to repeat the mistakes of the past. This business can never be done that way.
KR:박과장: 당신은 항상 그런 식이야. 그래서 당신은 절대 성공 못 하는 거야. 당신 같은 사람 때문에 회사가 발전하지 못하는 거라고.
EN: Park Manager: You're always like that. That's why you'll never succeed. It's people like you who keep the company from growing.
KR:오상식: (분노를 참으며) 그만하시죠. 더 이상 당신과 할 말이 없습니다.
EN: Oh Sang-sik: (Suppressing his anger) Let's stop. I have nothing more to say to you.
