(Durian's Affair)
(All characters, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious.)
(Animals were filmed according to guidelines.)
What would you like?
The ice cream is enough.
You don't like coffee? I thought you would.
It'll keep her up.
It keeps you up?
It does if I drink it too late in the day.
I'll drink it, then.
You can take it with you.
It won't taste as good. The aroma evaporates.
You better eat it before it melts.
What's your name?
I can't reveal my real name.
You first.
- I'm... - This is Hyeon Ju Nam.
I'm Yoo Gang Hee.
I'm Baek Do Kyung.
Your name suits your look.
Who were you with?
- My juniors. - From school?
(Episode 12)
I'm sorry, but I must head off.
- You're leaving? - My roommate got hurt.
Just so you know, I live with a guy.
- Is it bad? - He must be bleeding a lot.
He got cut somewhere.
I apologize.
Can we meet again?
Do you love food?
I was taught never to waste food.
Me too.
You were taught well,
but too much cold food can make you ill.
I have healthy guts and organs.
I'll drink this.
Don't. What if you can't sleep?
Don't you have work tomorrow?
How long has it been since someone cared for me as a woman?
I do.
I think we're of similar age.
I could be a year or two older.
My gosh. As if.
No way.
I'm...
older.
Are you implying that I look young or that I look youthful?
Being youthful is different from being young.
Is it?
It's not good for a man to look young.
I was born in 1984, the Year of the Rat.
If he was born in 1984,
how old is he?
I was born in 1954, so...
I'm 30 years older?
I'm much older.
That's a joke.
It's not.
Well, physical age doesn't matter.
My first girlfriend was older too.
How nice.
By four years.
Were you in high school...
and dated a college student?
Bingo.
You were quite mature.
I think of her sometimes, even now. We met in church.
It was a church friend, then. An older church girlfriend.
- Are you religious? - No.
I only went because it was a mission school.
You look like you're in fashion.
Am I too flashy today?
I dressed up with my juniors.
You left a strong impression.
Only on the outside.
Are you soft on the inside? Your personality.
It depends on who I'm with.
What can I do to make you treat me gently?
Softly.
Why am I so eloquent today?
Aren't I gentle enough?
I guess I'm still nervous.
I feel even worse.
My heart is pounding.
I feel like I'm committing a crime.
What kind of people are you drawn to?
I've never felt drawn to anyone.
Never?
I'm just kidding.
People like you are rare.
Really?
You're charismatic and elegant too.
You're an expert in flattery.
I never heard that praise before.
Was that not praise?
I didn't mean ill by it.
You didn't mean ill, but you didn't mean well, either.
I can't say what I don't mean.
Wouldn't you like to get to know me?
My gosh. Is he asking me out?
What do you do on weekends?
I usually rest.
And exercise.
What kind of exercise? Golf?
Is it written somewhere that I play golf?
These days...
Everyone plays golf?
I should play too.
You must be quite busy.
He doesn't have a businessman feel.
It melted. I'll finish it off.
Gosh.
Is Ayla that unsure of herself?
So Jeo is no looker.
We don't know her background,
and she's extremely ignorant.
She just has her figure.
And that figure is so demure and elegant.
(Hyeon Ju)
Are you not going to answer that?
(Send a text: I'll call later.)
Do you have a friend named Hyeon Ju?
Do you know all my friends?
I never heard that name before.
Don't mind me.
You've been in love too.
You married your husband for love.
Love makes you want to know...
Leave if you're going to talk nonsense again.
You're so mean.
How could you say my feelings are nonsense?
Don't say another word.
She'll call.
Throw all this out.
Okay.
How old...
are you?
I'm 39.
Are you?
You look older than that.
Do you feel hot?
I do, a bit.
Take off a few layers. You're wearing too much.
Did you find them?
There was no stationery store nearby,
so I gathered these from the flowerbed.
What are they?
Pebbles to play gonggi with.
Do you want to play gonggi?
I must flex my hand muscles...
to stave off dementia.
Let me have a look.
Will you not play with me?
It's about Deung Myung,
your only grandson.
Don't worry. You're overreacting.
Who means more to you, Deung Myung or So Jeo?
Deung Myung is not that irresponsible.
He even proposed.
You once said you'd never know what could happen...
until the couple walked down the aisle together.
Two female strangers will make Chi Kang uncomfortable.
I need him to have a thing with Du Ri An...
so I have a legitimate excuse to be with you.
He'll be fine.
We had a live-in housekeeper until last year.
He grew up among working folk.
Why do you care so much about So Jeo and Ri An?
I like how they act.
Do they treat you better than I, your eldest son's wife?
If you accept me, I could become the apple of your eye.
Forget it. We moved on from that page.
You can always move on or go back and reread...
the pages of your heart.
You never give in.
I'm not fighting back.
Anyway, So Jeo and Ri An will live with me.
Do you know how skilled they are?
They speak so elegantly.
What's that saying? "Two's company, but three's a crowd?"
They know when to come and go.
They don't hassle others.
And they help with the housework, floating around quietly.
(Eun Sung)
Hello.
Are you free to talk?
I picked up, didn't I?
Did Chi Gam give you a call?
Why do you ask?
I'd like our housekeeper to stay at the Singal cottage.
Was she discharged?
She was discharged yesterday.
I feel extremely suffocated.
She's not temperamental and does a good job.
You can't send her away because she's unwell.
Weird in what way?
My husband has become a playboy.
Still, he is healthy now.
He is soon to be wed.
He would not get ideas, would he?
I am being silly.
He would not care for the likes of me.
Why would he?
I understand.
The chairwoman wants you to pack.
(Master Jung)
I am Cho Yi Young, not Kim So Jeo.
The only daughter of Lord Cho.
The chairwoman gave permission.
We can...
move to her eldest son's.
Kim Sang Jun's kid turns one on the 15th.
It feels like the kid was born just yesterday, but it's one already?
Kids grow in no time.
The key crew members should attend.
Yes.
Thanks, everyone.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
Does the writer not want to see the set?
She said she would see it after she finished the script.
Where's the kid's party?
I'll post the time and place in our group chat.
Order me a scale to this address.
What for?
To see how much I weigh.
You can do that at home.
I'm too busy, and I forget.
Can't I keep one here?
Scales stress me out.
Use that to lose weight.
Stress makes you gain weight.
Quit drinking.
I don't drink much these days.
You don't drink much?
I guess you drink 4 to 5 times a week.
Or was it 5 to 6 times?
Other than 1 or 2 days.
I don't drink that often.
- Director. - What?
How did things go?
After I left that night...
What are you asking?
Did you go your separate ways?
Yes.
We had a connection.
So?
We'll meet this weekend.
But...
(Baek Do Kyung)
Hello?
Hello.
I couldn't pick up because I was eating.
Sorry, I didn't check the time.
It's fine.
Have you had lunch yet?
No, not yet.
- Why not? - To lose weight.
Goodness. You looked just fine.
My fat is well-hidden.
Where should we meet on Sunday?
Where would be suitable for you?
Should I see him?
Or not?
I'll pick you up.
No.
I live close to the Crystal Hotel.
Then the Crystal Hotel at 6 p.m.?
Or seven?
Let's do 6:30 p.m.
I'll make a reservation and then text you.
The French restaurant on the third floor, right?
He knows Maison Blaise?
Yes.
Okay.
Bye.
Am I going crazy?
Pretend you have a paper cup full of water.
Take that and spray it at the ball.
Good shot.
I should treat So Jeo.
As a future fake sister-in-law.
Serve this for everyone.
Is it gelato?
They're not here.
They moved to Deung Myung's.
Do you want some?
It's too late for the cold stuff.
- For good? - Yes.
For now.
You sent them off?
Se Mi wanted them to stay with her.
Has she moved on from you to them?
No.
Then why would she want them?
Now I can cook him hot meals every day.
Yes, Mother.
I could wish for nothing more.
We must never fall out of favor.
Of course not. Do not worry.
I think...
I should call him "dear brother" instead of his name.
Why would you go too far?
Call him what others do.
- Yes? - May I come in?
Yes.
Welcome to my house.
Please make yourselves at home.
Thank you...
for your warm hospitality.
You should ask Deung Myung for some allowance too.
I will. But pay me back when you become successful.
I would like to say a prayer before we clink our glasses.
Father, two families have come together.
We may come from different places and look different.
But please guide us so that we can see eye to eye,
continue to take care of each other,
be each other's cheerleaders,
and live happily together like a flock of lambs in this house.
"Lambs?"
We are the lords of all creatures.
Why compare us to some animals who cannot even talk?
I pray that this upcoming drama becomes a hit...
so So Jeo can make a name for herself and become successful.
And please help my son, Deung Myung,
end his acting career on a good note.
In the name of the Father, we pray.
- Amen. - Amen.
Amen.
All right.
You should say something.
I agree with everything you said.
I hope that you'll be happy here...
and only good things come to you.
Be a good brother to her.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
The same reason you're here.
People who are left behind feel the absence,
not the ones who left.
You must miss them too.
"Miss them?"
The house must feel empty. That's only natural.
I wonder how you turned out to be so softhearted.
That's because I'm your son.
Do you miss men too?
Why must I miss other men?
Get a grip.
I'm completely sane and clearheaded too.
You never take me seriously. You slap me all the time.
I pat you all the time.
Don't be such a flirt.
What do you mean?
You're attracted to women as long as they're pretty.
Not all pretty-looking rice cakes are tasty.
But I do want to eat them.
I'm talking about rice cakes.
People say your disposition affects your fate.
Woo Mi will dump you.
Women these days won't put up with men.
Woo Mi could meet other men too.
Can't I even think about other women?
I can think about anything I want.
Mom.
Be honest. Have you never fancied any man?
If you say "never," that's a lie.
You have, right?
Yes, I have.
People are all the same regardless of their gender.
I'd be a jerk if I found So Jeo attractive,
but it's Du Ri An. Doesn't she look so innocent?
There's something very special about her.
Is that so?
Am I wrong? There's no woman like her.
She's so unique. I thought a fairy had come down.
Even if I felt attracted to her, I didn't take it further.
In my head, I can even embrace space,
slow dance with a rabbit from the Moon,
and get you to remarry a handsome guy.
You always have to share what's on your mind.
What if other people hear you?
I'm not being silly here.
When I look at you, a part of me feels sad.
People say when we get old, we need someone to scratch our backs.
I have butlers, secretaries, and housekeepers.
Se Mi indeed had foresight.
If they had stayed here any longer...
Nothing would have happened.
My feelings aren't the only things that control me.
I know how to be calculative too.
I also know that all of my ideals cannot align in real life.
I learned that from you, Mom.
I am not sure if I can fall asleep.
I cannot believe only a wall is between Eon and us.
Even if I stay up all night, I will be fine.
Who cares if he recognizes us...
or does not?
Right.
Hey, Uncle Chi Jung.
I heard the two ladies moved to your house.
How are they settling in?
- They're doing well. - If they're with you, put them on.
They're not with me. They're sleeping in their room.
Why?
They left without even saying goodbye.
I'll call you tomorrow.
No, don't do that.
Okay.
Can you make me noodles with the kimchi?
You didn't have dinner?
The guy I met tonight kept drinking without any food.
I can't just eat while he isn't, right?
What's wrong with that?
It's better than damaging your health.
Did we finish eating the new kimchi?
The one in the red container.
Probably.
Gosh, we have other kimchi too.
It tasted different.
You should have asked me first.
Tomorrow,
go to my in-law's cottage with your caregiver. It's in Singal.
Why?
It's nice there. The air is fresher.
Not everyone gets to go there.
Will you let me use your car?
I want to go now.
What's wrong with you?
What?
Are you doing this on purpose?
Since I'm going to the cottage,
I want either Mr. Han or Secretary Son to drive me there.
Do you pay Mr. Han?
Does Secretary Son work for you?
No.
Forget it then.
We have to send the housekeeper away now. I can't do this anymore.
She's driving me crazy. My blood pressure is rising.
Can you call a chauffeur?
No. We can just call a taxi.
She doesn't deserve a chauffeur.
(Jumbo Taxi)
I'm sorry to wake you up.
My housekeeper will arrive in about an hour.
It's not my mother's housekeeper. It's the one from my house.
Yes.
Come out.
What should I wear?
(Butler Yoon)
Yes, what is it?
Is something wrong?
And?
I see.
Don't worry too much.
Okay.
Gosh.
What is it?
What are you doing?
I wonder when Eon will wake up.
Why did you wake up so early?
With your approval,
we would like to cook breakfast.
We do not sleep much.
There is not much for us to do.
So Jeo, you shouldn't worry about cooking.
If your acting isn't good, you won't get another chance.
Go upstairs.
I didn't bring you here, so you could cook for us.
Housework is the only thing I know how to do.
If you allow me, I will work hard and do a good job.
She catches on fast. And that's what I wanted.
I will wash the rice.
Gosh.
Then you can help me with just the breakfast.
The housekeeper always comes at 10 a.m.
There is no need to call her now.
I was taught how to use all the equipment here.
Mother.
Hey, you're here.
The director called Deung Myung.
And something came up for Chi Gam.
The chairman of Kangjin Pharmaceutical...
is departing for Singapore tomorrow.
He wants to have lunch with my husband.
- I see. - I read in a news article...
that you were cast for "Master Jung." Is that true?
Yes, I am the mother of the main character.
Is this your first time working with Deung Myung in a drama?
Yes.
How do you stay in shape like this?
Do you only eat every other day?
No. I rarely eat any carbs.
Do you mostly eat protein?
- Yes. - My goodness.
Our family loves having carbs.
We start with porridge in the morning.
And I love noodles.
She does, but she tries not to eat them too.
If you follow my diet...
Will I look just like you?
Yes.
Bye, Father.
- Yes. - Maybe, Chi Kang will know.
Even if you do, don't say anything.
Know what?
Three things we don't have in life.
Here are some hints.
Free things, secrets, and guess the last one.
No free things, secrets...
Do you know the answer?
Yes.
The one who guesses it right...
What's inside matters a lot.
Isn't it obvious what's inside?
It's because I've heard some stories.
A rich Korean-American in the US...
gave out envelopes to the people who helped him on Christmas.
Everyone was excited to get the envelopes.
They thought, "he's finally returning the favor."
They were thrilled and took out what was inside.
It only had a card inside.
"Thank you."
- Gosh. - No way.
It's a true story.
The answer is "right answers."
Correct.
There are no secrets, free things,
or right answers.
Gosh.
That's so true.
To personally add one more thing,
it's "forever."
You're right.
Everything has an end, just like a drama.
You know...
everything I know.
Here.
Mother wants to give...
her future daughter-in-law some allowance.
It's not fun to just give it to you.
Right, Mother?
Yes.
Thank you.
Right.
Growing attached to people is scary. I'm talking about So Jeo and Ri An.
It hasn't been long,
but after eating together and seeing them day and night,
I've grown attached to them.
It feels empty.
They were taught well.
That may not seem important, but it is.
Whether you like someone or not,
you need to live with someone to grow attached.
Grow attached like a family.
- Yes, Mother. - Even if you must force yourself.
I'm not forcing myself.
You said nothing lasted forever, but love is an exception.
There is love that doesn't change.
What should I do with that thing?
The story of Beethoven's undying love.
Beethoven was into several women.
Give it a rest.
You'll make Woo Mi cringe.
I don't think it's cringey.
I hope to live just three days,
no, five days longer than you.
I want to give you a good send-off...
And you'll follow me to death?
- That's too much. - No, it's not.
- Is it ready? - Yes, ma'am.
Take good care of So Jeo on set.
Yes, ma'am.
"They look at each other longingly."
Wife.
"They hug."
Get up.
Hug each other.
It feels real, right?
Yes.
I didn't tell you to stop hugging.
Film it.
Capture the emotions coming from their faces.
I feel like I am about to cry.
Why is my heart...
So Jeo is pretty.
Look at you get into it.
Director Ju Nam. I'm getting into it too.
Can I expect a couple's award this time?
Take this to Chairwoman Baek, your future grandmother-in-law.
What is it? Now?
Yes. It's something good for your health.
Chairwoman Baek is healthy.
She's just pretending to be fine in front of others.
I don't say I feel ill in front of others either.
What kind of pride is that?
There's an old saying to show off your illnesses.
"Illness?"
"Do not let them know about my age?"
That's it.
Deung Myung is rehearsing for his drama right now.
- Go alone. - I don't want to.
Men like it...
when you're nice to their parents more than when you're nice to them.
I didn't say I wouldn't.
I just want to rest on the weekend.
If you suddenly go over without reserve,
adults will really adore you.
Be cunning.
It's not being cunning. It's more like being wise.
I want them to say...
your heart is even more beautiful than your looks...
and that you were raised well.
I'm going to miss your kimchi.
I will make more and send it over so you do not run out.
You won't come by?
You'll just send it over?
The sun has risen again.
Being born is a struggle.
But dying...
is even harder.
You do not have to say anything for me to know...
what you are thinking.
I hope you recover soon.
"Recover?"
Now that I am this age,
I can know and feel what everyone is feeling.
"What is the king of the underworld doing..."
"instead of taking her away?"
If I thought that for even one second,
I would receive divine punishment.
Once in a while,
I also think of Dol Soe.
It would be right for me to regret it,
but I do not want to.
Even if I were to go back to the past,
I could do anything...
for my child.
That is what a mother is.
To Gi Sil,
Dol Soe was also a son she would give her life for.
After what happened to Dol Soe,
I heard she was in excruciating pain.
Our housemaid Gi Sil.
Seeing durian reminds me of Du Ri An again.
I want to know what kind of person she is.
We can go over to your place after we eat, right?
Let's have dinner at our place, then.
Chi Gam? Deung Myung?
It's Ms. Ayla.
Why is she here?
I'm guessing she came with Deung Myung.
You and Ayla know each other, right?
- You both came to the party. - Yes, ma'am.
They ate together once too.
Does that make you her youngest aunt-in-law, then?
Yes, ma'am.
There're a lot of shine muscats lately.
I heard...
traditional varieties of grapes weren't getting harvested lately.
Really? Is that so?
Right. Because of climate change.
That's a big problem.
I feel bad for the babies being born today.
What can you do?
The world is getting harder and harder to live in.
Should we not have a baby?
Don't say such a thing.
Of course, you should have a baby.
For whom?
For humanity.
- What a surprise. - Welcome.
- Where is Deung Myung? - He is likely still rehearsing.
Did you come alone to see me?
Take a seat.
I should've called beforehand.
A pleasant surprise makes me happier.
- Have you had lunch? - I have.
Here.
It's from my mom.
Gosh. She's always so kind.
I'll take it diligently and live long.
Give me one box, Mother.
I need to be healthy to take care of you.
Buy So Jeo something tasty.
She did an extra good job today.
She's improving by the day.
I will.
- Melo. - Yes, Director?
- Give me some gum. - I don't have any.
- I'll go and buy some. - You chew gum once in a while.
It's nicotine gum.
(Master Jung)
Why do you call the assistant director "Melo?"
Because his life is melodramatic.
He's always dating some woman.
He doesn't seem like it.
Players don't show it on their faces.
- Going to get coffee? - Yes.
Stay in the office.
You need to cut back.
Someone told me...
that my face had become black because I drank too much coffee.
That's nonsense.
Why do you care though?
Because I'm getting older.
My friends are doing all sorts of things.
Facial fat grafting...
and microblading.
Did Deung Myung cry...
while putting the ring on your finger?
No.
On your tenth anniversary,
he'll probably give you a five-carat diamond.
In the cafe that day,
people thought Uncle Chi Gam, Ms. Du Ri An, and So Jeo...
were a family.
People...
talked to them?
They asked Uncle Chi Gam...
whether they could take a picture with his daughter.
So Jeo and Ri An were there too?
Yes. Some foreigners as well.
Foreigners like it when you're wearing a hanbok.
That day, So Jeo and Ms. Du Ri An...
got quite a bit of attention because of their outfits.
Even more than me.
I remember that day.
I heard So Jeo and Ri An met Chi Gam on their way back...
from getting ice cream and had some tea together.
The atmosphere was fun and warm.
Uncle Chi Gam looked even more handsome when he was smiling.
Do you want some tea?
I'm full.
What should we do? Should we go to our place?
Next time.
I have an English lesson at 5 p.m.
I thought you could speak English pretty well.
Advanced English.
Gosh, you're so proactive.
Flying yoga, swimming, and even English.
Give it to me. I'll hold it.
It is heavy.
Exactly.
Director Ju Nam is pretty funny, right?
Yes.
Did he get a girlfriend?
He feels a bit different.
So Jeo will come in my car.
You had lunch, right?
Yes. You must be hungry.
My hands are almost shaking.
Let's go to Jungdong Bunsik. It's been a while.
The one behind the nearby church?
Will Chi Gam be okay?
What are you talking about?
Eun Sung looked a bit upset earlier.
My eyesight is getting bad too.
No way. You eat so well.
It's not about nutrition. It's related to stress.
What are you so stressed about?
Chairwoman.
Running a golf course isn't easy either.
Reservation requests are flooding in. It's a headache.
That's happy stress.
It's just enough for good health.
Tteokbokki, sujebi, and gimbap, please.
You also liked sujebi in your past life.
You haven't been in a while.
She's my cousin.
You're both so good-looking.
This is your first meal, right?
One cup of powder after my workout.
I saw Mr. Dan drink some.
How can that foggy water give you energy?
Just call him Uncle Chi Jung.
Where do you exercise so early in the morning?
A hotel.
But a hotel is a place to sleep and eat food.
There's also a place to work out.
Let's go exercise together after we eat.
I'll teach you.
How could I dressed like this?
There's a store nearby, so we can buy something.
You exercised early in the morning. Will it not be too much?
It's a fun exercise. Okay?
You need to try things,
go to new places, and enjoy life before you get too famous.
Try this on.
It does not suit me.
I should buy you a pair.
You'll need it from now on.
You already gave me an expensive jade binyeo.
Buy me a gift too once you get paid.
If Mother had been here with us now,
she would have been quite happy.
When will you get your resident registration card?
In a few days.
You must be hungry. Do not speak too much.
She is so caring, even though she's young.
Mother's butler quit.
Something came up.
I have to take care of her for the time being.
I'll trust you to run this house. I have no other choice.
Yes, madam.
Are you going again now?
Did you have to make me look like a fool in front...
of my future daughter-in-law and future sister-in-law?
Can't you hear me?
I didn't make you look like a fool.
It makes sense to follow your husband after he dies.
How could you say you'll die with your mother-in-law...
with your husband sitting right there?
I meant for you to be more like her and do better.
I said I wanted to live a few days longer than her.
I didn't say I would follow her after she dies.
It's the same thing, and it has the same meaning.
Are you moving in there?
Everything will come to a halt without a butler.
- She can hire one. - Until she does.
She has a housekeeper.
Tax-related things. Taking care of the house.
She doesn't know anything and can't do anything.
That's a big house.
There are a lot of things to take care of.
Humans are emotional animals.
There's a limit to my patience.
I'm acting this way because I'm an emotional animal.
Please acknowledge my emotions.
I would if it made sense.
We talked about it today.
There are no answers in life.
I bet you tried it before but just forgot.
Every woman loves tteokbokki.
It's not as spicy as it looks, right?
I cannot believe such a dish exists.
It is completely different from tteokguk.
It's addictive. I crave it every now and then.
I'll have it just for today.
I haven't had it in almost a year.
Is it because you are too busy?
No, it's too fattening.
It's okay once in a while.
It's delicious. Have some gimbap too.
It's the happiest day I've had in a while.
That goes for me too.
And I don't mean that just because of the food.
Here's your sujebi.
Thank you.
- Do you want bowls to split it? - That's okay.
It's okay between us, right?
You often did the same in your previous life.
I made the patjuk myself instead of ordering someone.
It sure looks delicious.
Why do I see just one spoon?
I tasted it while making it.
It tastes better for me when we eat together.
You should have it first.
Must you always oppose me before listening?
I cannot be happier over a spoonful of patjuk.
I plan to make you nokdoojuk tomorrow.
It looks too thick.
So are you not going to eat it?
It's tastier than it looks.
Does it taste bad?
Sujebi should be thin...
so your tongue can wrap around it.
That would be tasty,
but can you make it thin?
I can make it for you anytime.
Really?
Although I am not as good as Mother.
This one is not right.
I look forward to it.
I suddenly don't want to eat it.
I will eat it.
- You'll get sick if you force it. - I will not.
Listen to me.
You're right. It is thick.
I was slightly disappointed by that every time.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Is he still practicing?
(Kkachi Restaurant)
Welcome.
Are you here for some soup?
I think she wants money.
I'm a Christian.
No one carries cash these days. I don't have any money.
Please leave.
My customer is eating.
Did that foreigner...
send the picture they took with So Jeo and her mother-in-law?
They said they would to Uncle Chi Gam.
They went to golf at Mr. Dan's golf course.
- When? - Right after everyone left.
- Cheongdam Hotel? - Yes.
I hope the size fits.
It's my first time buying one.
(Calls)
(Best Deung's Manager)
Hello?
It's Ayla.
- Hello. - Hello.
Did he finish practice?
Yes.
Is he dining with the director?
No, he came to swim with So Jeo...
at Cheongdam Hotel.
Did he go to swim after practice?
Yes. After a late lunch.
Where did they eat?
At Jungdong Bunsik.
An actor must know how to do everything.
How to swim, dance, and drive.
You must get a driver's license soon.
I can do it if it is what he desires.
I could even jump naked into a creek...
in the middle of winter.
Did Woo Mi pay a visit?
- Yes. - Did the housekeeper call?
Did you get the picture from the foreigner?
At a cafe with So Jeo and Ri An.
Did you take this for them?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell me the truth?
You sounded like you were with just Deung Myung and Ayla.
It must mean you have feelings.
Think however you want.
Is that all you have to say?
What do you want to hear from me?
You had your phone off the whole day that day.
I guess you didn't want to get interrupted.
It's not like we were alone.
I ran into them on my way out of my mother's house,
and their lips were blue from eating two ice creams.
- That's why we had tea... - Why would you buy them tea?
If they were cold, they could've had warm water at home.
Right. I wouldn't be misunderstood right now if they had.
It's the truth, not a misunderstanding.
It's true I saw Deung Myung while having tea with them.
Is that a problem? Is that an issue?
I'm asking you why you didn't tell me.
You only mentioned Deung Myung and Ayla.
I was too tired to explain in detail.
And were you not tired to chit-chat with Du Ri An or mango?
Did you see me?
How do you know if I was chit-chatting or not?
I heard you were smiling cheerfully.
- Who says? - Ayla.
You hardly smile when you're with me.
I didn't make a mistake.
I can only smile if there's something to smile about.
There's always someone here when I come home.
Now there's even a dog.
You hardly pay attention to me.
What do you mean?
But with Ohyiji, you look at her with loving eyes.
What could be so fun for me?
When should I smile?
I didn't know you were so chatty and argumentative.
I'm explaining something not worth explaining.
Are you more upset than me?
Home should be cozy and comfortable.
But I subconsciously become anxious...
while trying to dodge your complaints.
I'm afraid of situations like this.
You must feel guilty...
because you did something wrong.
What did I do wrong?
Why would I feel guilty?
You're always checking on me,
and you must know everything.
Just follow me around 24 hours a day instead!
You'll scare Ohyiji.
Why are you yelling?
Look at it from my point of view.
Wouldn't you be upset too?
No. It's not something to get upset over.
I couldn't reach you on your phone.
I called Mr. Han,
and he told me you got out of the car after getting a call.
I thought it was an acquaintance.
At home, you only talked about Deung Myung's proposal.
You never mentioned So Jeo and Ri An until today.
On top of that, you keep a picture of Ri An.
I bet you looked at it every now and then.
Did you take any pictures of me recently?
I know you like taking pictures.
Is it a fault I didn't take a couple for you?
Does it deserve your scolding?
That's not the point.
Why would you take a picture of another woman aside from me?
Another woman!
Was it refreshing and fun to chit-chat over tea?
I didn't know how time passed.
Is this the answer you wanted?
I'm getting sick of this.
"Sick of this?"
I'm sick of these situations!
Stop changing the focus.
Are you going to ignore the problem?
I'm getting some fresh air.
And after that?
Can you please stop quibbling?
Just for once, can you feign ignorance...
of whatever I'm doing?
There's no use in living together...
if my way of showing love through concern...
is cumbersome and annoying to you.
What did I do so wrong?
You didn't do anything wrong.
Then what?
Do you want to end it like this?
Who is Du Ri An to you?
Please do not stare.
Okay, I won't stare.
Can I ask you for a favor?
Please don't talk in that tone.
It doesn't suit you.
Okay?
That would be impolite of me.
It would be more polite to talk comfortably...
if we're close.
Aren't we close?
Just say yes, and don't talk formally.
Yes.
Isn't it better? It sounds natural.
How pitiful.
I feel sorry for you.
(Durian's Affair)
You didn't get to the next base, did you?
Why do you assume that?
She's very sexy.
I don't care about age...
whether you're 4 years older or 40 years older.
She left the cottage.
What if she has dementia?
What about your husband?
He's not alone with Ri An, is he?
I left after seeing them alone.
I have kept it aside...
for my granddaughter-in-law.
Should I bring her to our house instead?
I do not have the confidence...
to keep looking at my husband.
I am thinking of going back.
- To where we were from? - Yes.
Why? What did she say?
She just wants to visit it.
Mother.
This is it, right?
The watermill at the entrance of our village.
- Yes. - Then is this...
where the waterwheel used to be?
Did they regain some of their memories?
What was Mother dressed like when she went out?
- She looked beautiful. - How beautiful?
I've been married once.
I'm sorry, but it looks like your credit card is maxed out.
- It was declined. - Is that so?
(Baek Do Yi, born in 1954)
Is this true? It's not, right?
I do not dare ask you...
to return with me.
What would I do here without you?
It would be meaningless.
Let go.
