It's raining cats and dogs.
It's the monsoon season.
Man, we're awfully unlucky too.
Tell me about it. That looks good.
Hey, that smells great.
Who are you?
- Goodness. - What happened?
It looks like you're here on business.
You do...
just about everything for money, don't you?
We do anything once you pay us.
How did you get so badly hurt?
So? What do you need?
I need you...
to kill someone.
Sir, I think you're mistaken...
Who do you want dead?
Kang... Kang Yeo Joo.
Kang Yeo Joo.
"Kang Yeo Joo"?
Kang Yeo Joo?
I've heard that name somewhere.
You haven't heard of anyone with that name.
So who is this Kang Yeo Joo?
My wife.
What?
I'll pay you...
whatever you want.
Please...
kill my wife.
Have you been writing your script on paper?
3 MONTHS BEFORE THE RAINY DAY
Yes, I thought it might help me write something. 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE RAINY DAY
Yes, I thought it might help me write something.
Do you want me to write that darned novel?
My publisher will probably sue me right away.
Have you forgotten? Your husband is a lawyer.
You're right.
Then I have nothing to worry about.
Will you look at me as we talk?
Going to the gym?
No, to cheat on you.
In a sweatsuit?
I'll take it off anyway.
But keep your pants on.
You recently got a beer belly.
EPISODE 1
Are you all right?
Me?
Hey, sir. Are you all right?
Goodness, sir. Sir?
Are you okay? Sir?
Can you call an ambulance?
I can't believe you're the first guy I kiss.
Honey, I'm sorry.
It wasn't bad for a first kiss, right?
Right.
I'm relieved.
What?
- Hello? - Still alive?
Yes, he'll be fine after a few days of rest.
A few days?
We're about to go on air!
Hey!
Isn't this too fast?
At this rate, I'll arrive there on time.
My wife told me not to take my pants off outside.
You have 30 seconds.
I don't even have time to zip up my pants.
Hello, I'm Baek Soo Jung from "Morning Stories".
Today's guest is known to be a perfect husband.
Please welcome Lawyer Han Woo Sung.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
My name is Han Woo Sung, and I'm a lawyer.
It's nice to meet you.
You're known for offering divorce suits pro bono.
Could you elaborate on that?
Well...
I'm offering free services to women who don't have...
enough money to file for divorce even when...
they're abused.
Perhaps, are you thinking about doing politics?
Not at all.
That was a joke.
Even though you divorce other couples,
you, yourself, are known to be a devoted husband.
Well... I'm trying my best so that she won't divorce me.
Look at her smiling so slyly.
She looks exactly like the wench who seduced my husband.
Who?
Oh, it's nothing.
Sit down.
That smells nice.
I agree.
When it comes to abalone porridge,
your husband makes it better than I do.
The biggest cause of divorce is known to be...
personality differences.
Lawyer Han, I heard you and your wife met by fate.
Did you encounter each other during a wonderful trip?
Well... No. It was at a goshiwon.
Goshiwon?
- Yes. - I didn't expect that.
Right. I was preparing for my bar exam.
I helped a close friend out every now and then...
and kept watch at a goshiwon.
"AN ASSEMBLED MAN"
Gosh, that's too terrifying.
The writer is totally insane.
How many characters has he killed already?
What's his name? Is he a psychopath or what?
He must be a lunatic.
He used to be a reporter for the press.
"Kang Yeo Joo".
What? Isn't that a female name?
How does she look?
KANG YEO JOO
Isn't she too beautiful for a writer?
She looks like an actress.
I'm here to look at your rooms.
You should come tomorrow. The manager isn't here.
KANG YEO JOO
She's more gorgeous in real life.
Well, what kind of room are you looking for?
A special one.
I see. A room with a window, perhaps?
I don't need any windows.
Did anyone die in any of the rooms?
What?
Don't all buildings have one?
PLEASE BE QUIET
Has anyone died in any of the rooms?
What a psycho. Of course not.
Do you want the place to close down?
You must have one that's similarly bizarre.
There is a room that no one wants...
due to the noise from the outdoor AC cooling fan.
I'm sure many mice have died there.
Do you have none?
No, we do.
I'll call you back later.
By the way, why do you keep talking casually to me?
I even served in the military.
You're younger than you look.
Where's the room?
It's over there. This way.
You're not studying for the bar exam, are you?
You don't seem like you work for a company either.
I have a supernatural skill.
Is your work perhaps related...
to wood?
I sense a lot of wood around you.
Or is it related to paper?
Are you a writer?
Since it's very quiet, you'll be able to work here.
White noise helps you focus.
Why did the previous tenant die?
What?
Right. I believe it was a homicide.
A homicide?
Were there any witnesses?
No.
Because you see,
the body was discovered...
a week later.
Since this room is at the very end of the hallway,
not many people passed here.
It was extremely gruesome.
This room must've reeked.
We have excellent ventilators, you see.
The owner used to run a ventilator business.
What about the culprit? Were they caught?
No.
There's a spiderweb.
I'll get rid of it right away.
No, I like it. Let it be.
Perhaps, that spider...
is a witness.
HANBANG GOSHIWON
It sounds like she's playing the piano.
Who is she killing this time?
She didn't even glance once.
You too?
Don't you think she's a little cuckoo?
She never greets anyone.
That rude brat never says hi.
It's because she's an artist.
An artist...
She's downright gorgeous.
So this is why you haven't gone home yet.
Sillim-dong...
Casanova.
Don't get any ideas now.
As long as I'm the bookkeeper here, I won't let anything happen.
Hey, man.
It's different.
It's for real this time.
5 MONTHS SINCE THEIR 1ST MEETING
KANG YEO JOO'S BOOK SIGNING EVENT FOR "MURDER IN GOSHIWON"
Thank you.
Can you write down a number instead of an autograph?
What's your number?
I meant...
your phone number.
Pardon?
So you fell in love with her at first sight.
Yes. Well, that's how it usually happens for me.
Would you say that happened often with you?
My gosh, no. Oh, no.
Don't get the wrong idea, honey.
You're the only woman I fell in love with.
Here.
I love you.
Sorry.
When did she come back from the States?
9 YEARS AGO
You have no shame. How dare you come here?
Fine. I'm forced to go to the States now because of you.
Are you happy now?
But you just wait.
No one can get away with messing with me.
Look at that. You need to be careful around women like her.
You can't trust your husband too much.
You got that?
Gosh, if I don't trust him, how can I share a room with him?
Goodness. You can be so naive.
Oh, right. You're not going out today, right?
Why do you ask?
I heard Ms. Yang is coming over.
Ms. Yang?
THE O VILLE PUBLISHING HOUSE
Everyone.
I'll go after her head.
Ms. Na, wait for me and open the door.
The rest of you can grab her limb each.
- Okay? - Yes.
Don't make mistakes. We don't have time.
- 1, 2, 3. Let's go. - Let's go.
- Good job. - Good work.
- This way.
Great job.
Let me.
Thanks.
Good job.
Thanks. Good job.
- Thanks. Great work. - Well done.
- Good work. - Good work.
Okay. Good work.
Oh, my.
Do you want to grab lunch together?
I have a trial today. I don't think I can.
How about dinner?
I'm having dinner with my wife.
Then, how about breakfast?
I know you're a busy man.
Why don't I go over to your neighborhood for a jog?
Don't you exercise on Monday and Wednesday?
I was just joking. You can be so adorable.
I can't stop teasing you.
I have a busy schedule. Bye.
I'll get going.
Good job.
See you again.
Are you interested in him?
Did it seem that way?
It won't be easy. He's crazy about his wife.
My gosh.
Come on.
Goodness.
She was here a minute ago.
I told you to keep her here no matter what this time.
How could I do that? I have a lot to get done too.
Ma'am.
She's been cooped up in her room for a while.
Where did she go now?
Gosh. I don't know.
Wait.
It's 3.5 dollars.
You're sure Ms. Kang is coming today, right?
If she doesn't show up today again, I won't let this slide!
Never.
Okay. Of course. Don't worry. Okay.
Oh, what am I going to do? She's killing me.
That brat.
I found her!
Really? How did you find her?
- I got a report. - What?
I asked people in the neighborhood for help in advance.
- Hey, let go! - That way.
- Open the door. Now. Hurry. - Right here.
- There. - Put her in.
Good.
Will she be okay?
Of course.
If she didn't show up today, they would have filed a lawsuit.
You helped her out.
Good job! Let's go! Come, Ms. Na.
Oh, right. If you have some time, come to the book talk.
I'll get you souvenirs. Please come!
L AND S LAW FIRM
You even brought your paralegal.
Not even a cup of tea?
Why don't we settle?
We want 35 percent of the assets...
and 10,000 dollars as alimony.
My client wants to keep the family together.
Then, how could he cheat on her?
Do you have proof?
Mr. Son.
They are friends.
Can't two friends shake hands?
As it so happens, there's a five-star hotel behind them.
A luxurious hotel makes a nice background for photos.
And the view was superb too.
His so-called friend posted these photos on her blog.
What am I looking at?
Can't you see it?
You're not sharp.
Perhaps, it could be presbyopia.
Don't dance around it. Just tell me what it is.
That's your client, right?
We might have to cover them up with peaches for court.
I'm allergic to peaches. How about grapes?
Sounds good. Two bunches will do.
Let's renegotiate.
We want 40 percent of the assets...
and 15,000 dollars as alimony.
You wanted 35 percent of the assets...
and 10,000 dollars before.
Now it's 45 percent...
and 20,000 dollars.
- Time is money. - Yes.
Tick-tock.
I'll talk to my client.
- It's now 50 percent... - Hey!
One second.
I'm about to call with 45 percent and 20,000.
Okay.
You made a wise choice for your client's sake.
Good job.
Yes, we settled your divorce.
You'll get 45 percent of the assets...
and 20,000 for alimony.
I'm headed to the office, so I'll see you there. Okay.
Happy that you won?
I feel kind of bad.
Then buy me dinner.
Well, today is Tuesday,
so it's grocery shopping day.
My wife has been busy lately.
Oh, right.
See you.
I must be out of it.
Thank you for waiting.
It was very difficult to have her here today.
This writer is someone who is known for many keywords.
A bestselling author.
An expert crime writer.
The leader of Korean female hard-boiled literature.
We're about to have the leading crime novelist.
Ms. Kang.
Let's just end this event without any problems.
I'm not sure.
Do you think it's possible to finish this without a problem...
in an outfit like this?
Why? It was pretty expensive.
Please keep it clean, though.
I see. Did you actually pay for this?
Let's welcome Ms. Kang Yeo Joo...
and have a discussion on her book.
Welcome.
FROM "AN ASSEMBLED MAN" TO "A MURDER CASE WITHOUT A BODY"
"CHILLING BOOK CONCERT" WITH KANG YEO JOO
Hello.
"CHILLING BOOK CONCERT" WITH KANG YEO JOO
STORE ENTRANCE
My goodness, I'm sorry.
Oh no.
Gosh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Wait, you're that lawyer who's on TV, right?
Yes.
- Hello. - Yes, hello.
Could you give me an autograph?
- Oh, should I? - Please.
You said you always shop for groceries instead of your wife,
- and it was true. - Yes.
What's your name?
- Ryu Ok Ju. - Ms. Ryu Ok Ju.
HAN WOO SUNG
In 1, 2, 3.
- Thank you. - Our limited-time sale will begin.
- Only 20 will get 15 percent off. - Aren't you running for the sale?
- I'm meeting my wife here. - We only have a limited quantity.
- I see. - Limited-time blue crab sale.
Do not miss this opportunity.
Yes?
You're known for brutally murdering...
the men who have affairs in your books.
By any chance, is this based on your experience?
Ms. Kang's husband is...
widely known as a loving and devoted husband.
I'm sure she writes her novels purely from her imagination.
Yes?
If your husband cheats on you,
what will you do?
Will you divorce him?
Getting divorced has never even crossed my mind.
I'd probably rather be a widow.
I'm sure I'll do something from my novels.
He'll either commit suicide or die in an accident.
No matter what it is, it'll be a perfect crime.
After all, I'm an expert.
I truly hope something like that won't happen.
PART 2 WILL SHORTLY BEGIN.
I truly hope something like that won't happen.
I seriously...
look awful in mourning clothes.
Her husband would be shocked if he hears of this.
Should we let her send him a video message of love?
- I'm not doing it. - Do it for us!
- Do it! - Show us!
Honey. What I just said isn't a joke.
You know me, don't you?
You better behave unless you want to be found dead.
I love you.
- Why won't you let us in? - We're allowed to go in.
- You can't come in, sir. - Why won't you let us in?
- We have every right to be here. - Do you think this makes any sense?
Ms. Kang, when will you publish your next novel?
Great job.
I'll write something before the year is over.
My publisher has been threatening me saying they'll file a suit...
and demanding that I return the front money.
She makes her jokes sound so real.
She's so witty.
I see.
- Apologize! - Apologize!
- And now... - Make her apologize!
- What are you doing? - Any other questions?
THE DISCIPLE OF WICKEDNESS, KANG YEO JOO!
There she is!
- Go get her! - Come here!
We should probably wrap up now. Could you show her the way?
- It hasn't been long. - I'll pay you for the entire gig.
Let us wrap up our book concert now.
Thank you for coming.
Hallelujah
- Glory, glory, hallelujah - What are you doing?
Who are those people?
Her first novel criticized churches,
so they show up to every single event she's at.
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Darn you, Kang Yeo Joo! Take this!
How dare you block her?
You scumbag!
- Glory, glory, hallelujah - Get lost!
Go away!
Step aside!
Kang Yeo Joo should leave!
- Hallelujah! - Go away!
Leave!
DON'T BUY OR READ KANG YEO JOO'S NOVELS!
DISCIPLE OF WICKEDNESS
FROM "AN ASSEMBLED MAN" TO "A MURDER CASE WITHOUT A BODY"
"CHILLING BOOK CONCERT"
DON'T BUY OR READ KANG YEO JOO'S NOVELS!
KANG YEO JOO SHOULD APOLOGIZE!
DISCIPLE OF WICKEDNESS!
I have legs too.
Right.
KANG YEO JOO SHOULD APOLOGIZE!
Your goods have been delivered.
It's time for me to leave.
Why do we only meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays?
Are you not free on Mondays and Wednesdays?
Mondays and Wednesdays?
I have to jog on those days.
So?
I'd be too tired.
Then do you want to go to Japan on Thursday and have some raw fish?
I'm afraid I can't do that for the time being.
So you can't go?
Do you want to end this?
A reporter has been asking around about us.
- A reporter from where? - Dongmin Daily.
Did he catch you?
Don't you know how quickly rumors spread around here?
Isn't it a bit dangerous for us to meet like this?
I'm sure it'll all work out.
Let's end this.
I'll be careful.
The reporters have smelled something fishy.
Do you really think they'll just sit and do nothing?
Lawyer Park is so laidback.
Thanks to her, I'm free on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Oh, yes.
Oh, come on.
KANG YEO JOO IS MORE REALISTIC THAN REALITY ITSELF!
Gosh, great work today, guys. Cheers!
- Cheers! Good work! - Cheers! Well done!
You too.
This is so refreshing.
Ms. Kang, you're sitting alone.
I said I didn't want to come.
Did you kidnap me for all that mess?
- Keep talking. - Well...
They said they'd only invite the members,
so I thought it'd be okay.
You should blow off steam and have a drink.
I don't drink...
bottled beer.
I see.
Then do you want draft beer?
Sir, could you give us some...
You don't remember me at all.
He's from the convenience store.
I see.
You're the informant.
Yes. I just wanted to help.
You were of great help. I even got a massage.
Those eggs were so fresh.
He's the one who received that egg shower.
I got some on my clothes too.
To be exact, they're mine.
You two can talk.
Okay.
Who is this?
Ms. Baek Soo Jung?
Honey, I'm home.
Do I smell food?
What's going on?
There's no way she'd be cooking.
What does this mean?
Hi, honey.
Hi.
That's a dangerous smile.
It's just as dangerous as when she uses honorifics.
It must've been a long day.
Take a shower.
She's using honorifics.
Did something bad happen today?
You caught me. How did you know?
Because you're cooking, smiling, and using honorifics.
People from the church came for a visit once again.
They're still doing that?
The deacon aged quite a bit.
What did you buy?
Blue crabs. Your favorite.
They were on sale.
Go take a shower.
They'll pinch you.
I got scared for no reason.
What? What is this?
What? Hold on.
What? How did this...
She didn't see it, did she?
Did she?
What is it?
What do you think? Give me the dirty clothes.
Oh, I see.
By the way, your face...
What about it?
What is it?
Are you wearing makeup?
Yes, because of the book talk.
I see.
You look pretty.
Why is this all crumpled up?
I sweated a bit today.
What?
What is it?
She's sensitive to smells.
Which shampoo did I use?
What's this?
That's what I use at home.
Women are sensitive to smells.
Seriously?
You carry around a kit so you can cheat?
No. I didn't make any mistakes.
Hurry.
Okay.
My gosh. She almost had me.
Gosh. I think she's onto me.
I'm so glad I ended it with her.
What's going on? You're cooking today.
We're having a guest over today.
Who?
Honey, she's here.
Okay.
I didn't know you were here too, Lawyer Han.
Welcome.
He comes straight home after work.
Oh, right. I believe you've met my husband.
We see each other on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Don't we?
We have meetings for a new program we're launching soon.
You have a new program?
No. It got scrapped.
That's news to me.
It got scrapped. It did.
I didn't want to come empty-handed.
Thanks.
My gosh. How did you know...
I only wear this perfume?
Why do you always give me the same perfume?
The fragrance suits you perfectly.
Wash your hands. The food is almost ready.
I knew it. I had a feeling.
Where is the bathroom?
It's this way. Come this way for the bathroom.
You're good with knives.
The protagonist of my last book was a butcher.
So I learned it myself.
It helps when I cook.
Can I help?
No. Feel free to look around the house.
- Honey. - What?
- Give her a tour. - Okay.
Gosh.
- Should we be touching like this? - What?
Have you gone mad? Why did you come here?
We ended it last week.
It wasn't over for me.
Besides, I'm here to meet Kang Yeo Joo today. Don't mind me.
What?
How do you know my wife?
Well, we weren't exactly friends.
By the way, your phone was off.
- You didn't even come on Monday. - My gosh.
I'm going to focus on my family now.
- Quiet down. - What?
- Let go of me. - She might hear you.
What is it now? What?
I see a lot of poisonous flowers.
My wife likes them.
She's coming.
Show her our room too.
Okay. She's interested in plants.
I'd like to see your bedroom now.
You've been only giving me cosmetic products your wife uses.
If you close it, it looks more suspicious.
It's over now. What's there to suspect?
It's not over for me.
You... Goodness.
Is this what you like?
Do you like the thrill of it?
My wife has always had 20-20 vision.
She can even tell the brand of the hair dye you use.
I was surprised to hear that you wanted to visit me.
I didn't think we were on amicable terms.
But you just wait.
No one can get away with messing with me.
That's ancient history.
And now, I actually feel sorry.
Why?
Why are you sorry?
Honey, can you pass me that? Over there.
Can you give me some bread?
Thanks.
I'm getting in the way of an affectionate couple's dinner.
Oh, my.
We're out of wine.
Honey.
Bring her some wine.
Okay.
Well, you don't have to.
I'll bring you some more wine.
What is your husband like at home?
Is he good to you?
He is...
very good to other people.
Is that so?
How is he around other people?
How should I put it?
He's sensitive.
Honey, where do we keep our wine?
In the basement.
Oh, right. The basement.
Where in the basement?
In the wine cooler next to the fridge.
The wine cooler.
Was the wine cooler next to the fridge?
I'll go.
Thank you.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm going to head home now. I don't think I'm welcome here.
Really?
See you tomorrow in Unit 1820.
How many times must I tell you? I'm not doing that anymore.
Really?
Then, I'll drink one more bottle of wine.
But what if I get drunk?
I can be a mean drunk.
Fine.
I'll go. I'll be there.
The same time?
I'll be waiting.
But this is the last time.
We'll see.
You're leaving already?
I must have had a little too much wine.
Do you really want to die?
Stop doing something that risky.
Let's talk in person, Ms. Baek Soo Jung.
I'll be there.
You're up.
I didn't see you,
so I got worried.
Is something going on?
It sounded like you were arguing with someone.
I wasn't arguing.
Let's go back to sleep.
Is she not here yet?
YOUR CALL CANNOT BE COMPLETED AS DIALED.
Why won't she even pick up her phone? YOUR CALL CANNOT BE COMPLETED AS DIALED.
Why won't she even pick up her phone?
Did she change her mind already?
What kind of weird idea did she get this time?
Baek Soo Jung came to your house?
She's completely insane.
I knew something like this would happen.
You've been diligently and continuously cheating on her.
You were bound to face a problem.
I never cheated on her.
I've been a devoted husband.
Then what about all the women you slept with?
I didn't sleep with anyone.
What a load of nonsense.
My philosophy is to always sleep at home.
I always go back home when I'm done.
Why? To live as a devoted husband.
That makes sense.
Lawyer Han Woo Sung.
Our vice-chairman went out of his way to ask me to help you out.
I see.
I've heard a lot about you.
You also participated in the presidential election.
But I work on the other side now.
Oh, I see.
Politics is like a living organism.
I heard that you finally made your decision.
Yes.
Ever since I decided to run for an office,
I began to get worried,
thinking I might end up only disappointing you.
I'll take care of everything.
Mr. Han, you can...
continue to keep your image as the nation's most devoted husband,
that's all.
Oh, right.
Yes.
Wait.
You will discuss everything with me, right?
In order to come up with a strategy, you can't keep anything from me.
It's very important.
- Yes, I understand. - Good.
But what's your number?
I'll contact you.
- I see. - Yes.
I won't go out too far.
Woo Sung. Who was that?
A political consultant.
What?
Be it the president, an assemblyman,
or the representative of a political party,
anyone who gets him is halfway elected.
Man, I'm so glad I put in all that work to bring you up.
I can't believe one of my juniors will be an assemblyman.
Great job.
I'm not your junior.
You're my junior.
Whatever.
Do not forget that I know a lot about you.
- I'll buy you a drink. - Tonight.
- I'm busy tonight. - You stopped seeing women.
Why are you busy?
To do some cleaning.
This phone is now reset to factory settings.
And I got a new USIM card.
The dash cam.
Deleted.
And the navigator.
Assemblyman Han.
Man, that sounds perfect.
I'll be a doctor who can treat your adversities...
as an assemblyman, everyone!
Maybe I was meant to be an assemblyman.
It sounds too perfect. Assemblyman Han.
I feel like a new man.
I don't need to feel sorry for my wife...
or be anxious.
I can live with a renewed heart.
But still, what if I get lonely?
No, it's fine.
I have two terabytes of videos to comfort me.
I'm not lonely.
Honey, I'm home.
Is she in the kitchen?
Honey?
Honey.
DISCLAIMER OF PHYSICAL RIGHTS, HAN WOO SUNG
I WILL DIE IF I CHEAT!
"I will die if I cheat."
Wait, this is...
Does she already know?
How much does she know?
But there's no way.
I don't think I ever got caught.
Wait, this...
What's with this?
Wait.
Goodness.
Wait.
No, wait.
Stop.
Wait. One second.
Okay, calm down. Everything had been perfect.
I'm sure she's just messing around with me again.
He doesn't suspect anything.
Why won't this stop?
This is my chance.
CHEAT ON ME, IF YOU CAN
I bought tetrodotoxin on that day to kill you.
People aren't like shoes. You don't use it only because you like it.
