(Durian's Affair)
(All characters, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious.)
(Animals were filmed according to guidelines.)
Hey, Ohyiji.
Aren't you happy to see me?
Are you looking down on me too?
Put a paw on it.
I'll check what you used to be in your previous life.
What kind of sin did you commit to be born this way?
I'll take it instead of the fortune-teller's fee.
Paw.
Put your foot on it.
Loser.
It must be karma.
That's why you're too scared...
to look straight into my eyes.
(Episode 14)
Sorry, Mommy was...
What is it?
Are you back?
Many people get married without an officiant these days.
When the bride and groom say their vows of love,
what comes to your mind?
That those vows will be hard to keep.
Me too.
I can understand how they feel and what determinations they have,
but they're not vows to be said in front of their guests.
At least that's how I feel.
Instead of making a clear promise publicly,
I'm more likely to keep a promise I make to myself.
That's what I subconsciously thought.
Would that be rash?
Do you think it's rash?
If a happy marriage is guaranteed...
after figuring someone out...
and getting married to them in front of a crowd,
I would do it a hundred times. That would be the right way.
But that's not what it's like in reality.
Of course, many couples live well,
but many break up or separate.
They call some "no-look couples" for avoiding eye contact.
Now wedding styles are something we experiment with.
Doesn't it need to be revamped?
A lot of people decide to just register their marriage.
But we don't know anything about each other.
I'm suggesting we get married just based on our feelings.
We can learn about each other's backgrounds in minutes,
but that's not what truly matters.
It's nonsense, but it makes sense.
Why am I convinced?
Is he really okay with however old I am?
Does it really not matter?
It didn't sound like empty words.
But he's still a man.
Of course, he'd like younger women.
But he says he likes my appearance.
I agree I've still got it too.
Ever since I became alone,
I've been really lonely from time to time.
Before being a mom and a grandma, I'm a woman.
I'd love to lie down like this and chat with someone face-to-face.
I was desperate for someone every now and then.
Please tell me what I should do.
Did someone pity the widow Baek Do Yi...
and send this man to me?
What he says is convincing,
but my opposing thoughts are convincing too.
Meet me at the ward office at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
I'll put together the information for our witness...
and anything else we might need.
Does it look like I'm joking?
I'm sincerely proposing to you.
A "proposal."
The word gives me butterflies.
Chi Kang's dad never proposed to me...
since I was the one who pursued him.
Should I do it?
Should I go for it?
What if he passes out after finding out my age?
Why am I being tested?
Why is the universe so cruel to me?
I was starved for a week,
so how can I resist...
a bulgogi meal sitting in front of me?
I will always just say, "I am not sure,"
or "Please look at me kindly."
You are wise.
(Mi Sung)
Didn't you turn it off?
- Gosh. - What is it?
I just got invited to Mi Sung's birthday party.
Why didn't she send me the invitation earlier?
- Just make an excuse. - She'll hold a grudge.
Getting on her bad side will be so exhausting.
Why won't she just get married or something?
She only cares about facelifts and bullying people.
Doesn't she know we're dating?
Word will spread in 30 minutes once she finds out.
She has a big mouth.
Hey, where are we going?
Home.
Let's have another drink.
My parents aren't home.
No one will be home.
Is Saipan nice? A lot of people go there.
It's so-so.
My parents married there.
How romantic.
- Hey. - Yes?
Who comes first?
Mi Sung or me?
Mi Sung, of course.
You're in charge of her.
Are you tired?
Do you have any hangover medicine?
Water...
Are you up already?
Yes.
Is she unwell?
(Baek Do Kyung)
Hello?
Did I wake you?
No, I'm at the office.
Do you normally get up this early?
I had some work to take care of.
I have to keep my afternoon free.
I'm sorry.
I...
was born in 1954.
I said I was born in 1954.
Really?
Yes.
Okay, then...
I'll hang up now.
No, wait.
Wait.
This can't be a joke, right?
It's not.
I went to the club with my colleagues.
- They dragged me there. - I see.
But you look so young.
I had plastic surgery.
It's thanks to medicine.
I'm sorry.
I should've acted my age.
You're being serious, right?
Or maybe you don't want to come today...
Do you want a different excuse?
A single text would do it.
I found myself comfortable with you.
That's why I went out to see you again.
I didn't know this would happen.
- Take care. - Please don't hang up.
I don't have anything else to say.
(Hyeon Ju)
Is it okay for an old lady to play with someone like this?
Is it okay because you got plastic surgery?
Pardon me for asking,
but are you married?
Do you have a husband?
He passed away.
It happened long ago.
I have three grown-up sons.
You're a mother. I'm shocked.
But I told you, didn't I?
I don't care if you're 4 years older or 40 years older.
But I care.
I understand.
But you'll see after living together.
I'm not the type to joke around, lie, or say empty words,
nor do I want to.
"After living together?"
I might seem boring to others,
but that's how I am.
The ward office at 2 p.m.
We start to age and inch closer to death the moment we're born.
That's true.
Let's grow old...
and age together.
How can he be so charming?
There's no other man like him.
Hello?
- Okay. - You're greater than you think.
You're really attractive.
I feel like you're too good for me.
How can you say that?
At your age, it's not that easy to look so young,
have a youthful mentality, and be humorous.
I promise I'll do my best...
to become someone suitable and worthy of you.
It's more beautiful than a poem.
All I know is your phone number.
If you don't show up, we may never meet again.
I'm proposing to you with all of my heart.
I feel more assured now.
You're my other half.
I'm certain I'm to be your man.
What if you're not?
Are you sure it's not because you can't find the courage?
- But you might be wrong... - We all die...
when we get old.
It's not like we can die twice.
What are you so afraid of?
I wouldn't say I'm afraid.
I'm not saying we should live recklessly.
But we should think outside the box.
I'm suggesting we make a meaningful choice in our own way.
Okay.
I'll wait for you at the ward.
Five minutes...
Don't make me wait more than ten minutes.
Unless you want me to die from heartache.
From now on, I'll talk casually with you.
Feel free to hit me if you think it's rude,
but I have to become your husband.
A pervert of love.
I just saw you a few hours ago,
but I miss you already.
Am I the only one?
Me too...
Even if you don't show up today, I'll see you again.
I'll find the connections to find you.
It's possible with a phone number.
He's so cool.
What a man.
Eating really woke me up.
Please sit down.
Are you uncomfortable?
Then I would have allowed you to stay at the cottage.
You saw how coldly my wife treated me, right?
Do I look problematic to you too?
I am in no position...
to comment on your marital matters.
On paper, we sound perfect.
The whole world recognizes our son,
and we never have to worry about our finances.
We don't have anyone sick in the family, either.
But she tells me she's unhappy.
She says my love isn't enough.
I was tempted several times too.
But before being a man, I'm the head of a family.
I held myself back for her and for our family.
How could she?
Gosh.
It would be good to talk with her.
This is the life of Dan Chi Kang.
No one understands how I feel.
Not even Deung Myung.
He shouldn't know.
It's late.
I should drink this since you made it for me.
I enjoyed the dinner.
It was nothing.
I wish Se Mi was half as good...
No, even a quarter as good as you.
You flatter me.
I do not know anything...
I'm proud of Deung Myung. He's such a good boy.
How was such a boy born out of Se Mi?
He takes after you.
(All characters, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious.)
(Animals were filmed according to guidelines.)
I have to work out to liven up my face.
- Good morning, Mom. - Good morning.
What time did you get home yesterday?
About 30 minutes after you fell asleep?
Se Mi waited for you for a long time.
Se Mi?
Will she become a puppy who chases around me?
"You'll be blessed with a precious gift soon."
"But you won't be sorry if you pass it on to your in-laws."
"Just take note that the right way to raise kids is to be reckless."
"No child will grow up the way the parent wants."
You don't agree with this, do you?
Don't you care more about your future grandchild?
And when is that happening?
It's the truth.
No matter how much you struggle to raise your kids,
they'll leave without thanking you once they grow up.
And they'll think their parents are the best.
Not us.
We still miss Grandma.
If his parents find out about us, they will be furious.
Should I tell him not to reveal my age?
Did Woo Mi freeze her eggs?
- Why would she? - Because she's not young.
Wait. What about kids?
What is it?
It's nothing.
If he had wanted children, he would have gotten married young.
We probably have rice left over from yesterday.
It is a day old, though.
Deung Myung won't eat rice.
If we keep having cold, leftover rice...
I can freeze it, and So Jeo and I can eat it...
when it is just us in the house.
- Are you going to eat bread? - Yes.
Director Dan was a bit drunk last night.
People badmouth even the king when they are in private.
I have never badmouthed the king.
Besides, he wasn't wrong.
If couples aren't happy together, there's no point in living together.
You live together for the sake of your child.
What if Eon gets hurt?
Don't you agree?
Deung Myung is all grown up now.
Once he marries Ayla,
they will start their own life together without us.
Once he marries, he will have a separate life.
It is as if she is talking about a stranger.
How could a wife abandon her own husband?
Let me go and check on So Jeo.
It looks like she's been sleeping in lately.
She is washing up now.
She stayed up late to study the scripts for "Master Jung."
Nothing comes easy in life.
I wouldn't be able to do that even if I got paid a fortune.
You're up.
My son, you must be tired.
When will you have some time off?
All right. This is for you. You should take it.
What is it?
I noticed that you had a hard time climbing up and down the stairs.
My busy son bought this himself?
I get stuff like this all the time.
But still.
I bought it myself.
You're the best.
Since you bought it for me, I ought to take one right away.
I'm leaving now.
Tell your manager not to buy gimbap even if you're busy.
Okay.
The housekeeper is scaring me.
Can you tell her to go? Make her leave.
I'm not that cold-hearted to do that.
What are you scared of?
You were just startled.
You didn't see the look on her face.
Did she scowl at you?
It was really creepy.
She was as scary as a ghost.
You didn't like any of the housekeepers we had so far.
You can't communicate with them well.
Maybe, I'll ask So Jeo and Ri An to come back.
Yes?
Do you mean that?
Yes.
Your breakfast is ready.
I'm sorry, my son.
I'm getting married before you.
It's my second marriage, though.
You won't eat with us?
I don't have an appetite.
It could be due to the strong medicine.
There are pickled cucumbers in the fridge.
Please bring them.
Do you think omurice and pickles make a good pairing?
Yes.
It's another sunny day.
You'll give me severance pay, right?
I came by to ask you about that.
I already gave it to you.
- When? - When my mother left for the US.
Your mother gave that to me because I was her housekeeper...
for 20 years.
You can't compare this job to office jobs.
Give it to her.
- Okay. - Do you have a place to go?
I worked all my life at the expense of my health.
I already bought a house...
where I could live after my retirement.
I can move into that house after the renters move out.
A long time ago, I worked with this lady after moving to Seoul.
She insisted that I stayed with her.
So I'm living with her now.
I guess I'm pretty lucky when it comes to people.
I got to meet a nice man like you.
I'll wire it to you right away.
You want me to leave right away?
Okay.
You should rest now.
Yes.
I also have a dream.
I'm going to learn traditional Korean dance.
I heard it was a healthy hobby.
I wanted to be a dancer.
But I didn't get so lucky with my parents.
You'll make the house dusty.
We all live in dust.
Life is like a particle of dust.
It doesn't matter if we live for 30 years...
or 100 years.
In the end, we all return to dust.
It's too early for this nonsense.
What are you doing?
Hey.
About Du Ri An and her daughter-in-law...
Are they still at the chairwoman's house?
I must have grown attached to them.
I think about them from time to time and wonder what they're up to.
(Lee Eun Sung, transfer)
I can see a lot of good fortune coming from Du Ri An.
Don't look down on her.
I can...
still make money without working as a housekeeper.
Good for you.
You should have gotten the money now.
How much money did you wire?
Did you say you were going to the factory today?
Yes.
This Friday is my husband's birthday.
Could you prepare a few dishes and put together a meal?
Yes.
My mother-in-law will come too.
Yes, ma'am.
Cancel my lunch and dinner plans for today.
Cancel my afternoon meeting too.
Give them a reasonable explanation.
Did something happen?
Tell them I had to step out...
due to an inevitable circumstance.
Yes, ma'am.
You guys should watch a movie since it's been a while.
Why doesn't Director Kwak go instead of us?
I have Mr. Lee.
If possible, don't look for me until tomorrow.
Are you going to your parents' house?
No.
Where are you going?
Did you make the reservation yourself?
Yes.
Are you going to Macau?
I'm not you.
Don't you go there to gamble once in a while?
I never told you about that.
You usually leave Friday night and come back on Sunday.
Did you think no one would notice?
Men do become sly like women when they get older.
I should get my makeup done.
Bridal makeup.
The world seems different overnight.
I stayed up all night, but I'm not tired at all.
Instead of saying, "I'm getting married,"
"I just got married" sounds cool and shocking.
"Just got married."
You can drop me off and get off work.
My acquaintance will send me a car.
Yes, ma'am.
Didn't you notice that she was copying Seo Yoon Hee?
I did.
I explained everything to her last time.
I told her I also thought Seo Yoon Hee was a great presenter,
but only Seo Yoon Hee could pull that off.
I told her not to copy her.
I said patronizing the reporters...
didn't make her look cool or better at her job.
But she did it again today.
You should take over starting next week.
I shouldn't fix what's not broken.
Ayla needs more experience and time to grow as a reporter.
But I heard the chairman had handpicked her.
It'll be okay if I explain the situation well.
He's as reasonable as anyone can be.
I missed you.
People are asking...
if you don't smile at all off camera as well.
They ask me that too.
They said you looked serious.
News programs are about delivering facts.
They shouldn't be taken lightly.
Will you smile when you deliver happy news then?
Some viewers take being serious as being stiff.
Take a seat.
Whom did you have lunch with?
With the deputy general manager.
Kim Yeon Hee has been buying a lot of meals lately.
Thank you for your hard work.
Ms. Yoo will take over the program starting next week.
You can take a break.
You can recharge.
You must be going to a party.
- It's just a gathering. - You're the only person...
to become more beautiful as you age.
Don't tease me now.
As long as you have money, looking young is easy.
But elegance and beauty exude from within.
No one can copy what you have.
Gosh, you're making me blush.
I bet this is a happy occasion.
Then she should have told us.
It sounded like she was invited to an occasion.
They look familiar.
I think I've seen him from somewhere.
Don't tell me...
he didn't show up.
You're on time.
I was a bit nervous.
I feel bad.
I didn't bring anything.
All I need is...
this beautiful woman standing in front of me.
It feels as if I'm being embraced by the universe.
(Marriage Registration Form)
I've been busy since the morning.
Your personal information...
I can write them down.
(Father: Ju Seok Jin, Mother: Kim Sung Mi)
(Name: Ju Nam)
My junior colleague made me a Hyeon.
But I'm a Ju. Ju Nam.
My name...
isn't Do Kyung.
It's Do Yi.
- Hee? - Baek Do Yi.
It's a more pleasant name to call.
(Father: Baek Sung Gun, Mother: Hwang Sook Ja)
Oh, no.
I don't want to take out my reading glasses.
May I write them down?
He's already helping me.
Are the witnesses...
your friends?
Yes.
Weren't they shocked?
They congratulated me.
What about your parents?
I'll take care of everything.
Besides, they've always trusted me.
They're going to feel betrayed by their trusted son.
Whatever.
It's just that I'm older than him...
and widowed.
But they will have the chairwoman of Bidang Holdings...
as their daughter-in-law.
He's already making me feel reassured.
What's your educational background?
I dropped out of college.
In my first year.
Does that make me a high school graduate?
(Wife: High school graduate)
(University graduate, specialist)
All you gave was advice. "Don't get distracted. Study hard."
That was it.
My husband didn't give you anything?
Ask your husband if he did.
If he did, if I'd gotten just ten dollars,
I'll change my name.
That petty punk. He hasn't even texted me once.
I gave him so many side dishes all these years.
(Aunt)
Yes, Aunt.
It's off?
He must be busy preparing for the upcoming drama.
I haven't seen him lately, either.
Deung Myung sees him every other day.
He's fine.
We're fine too.
Yes. Okay.
The gardener isn't done yet?
It usually takes all day.
- Give him a cool drink. - I was just about to.
You can find wild abalones at the Daehan Department Store.
- Buy five or six of them. - Yes, ma'am.
I made a reservation at the Hong Cheon Hotel.
Let's head out after we get our rings.
Let's just...
buy them and start wearing them today.
Cettie is better than Blini, right?
Let's go to the jewelry arcade in Jongno.
Rings from luxury brands are expensive for no good reason.
It takes several months if you can't find one in your size.
I want to buy you a ring from Cettie.
You can buy me a better ring later.
They will all recognize me.
I've been there way too many times.
Let's take my car.
Good work. I'm sorry that you had to skip lunch.
It happens all the time. Thank you for coming.
Can you come by often?
Yes.
Let's go to my usual restaurant.
Yes, sir.
Are you very hungry?
Not too much. I tasted so many sauces.
Did you get any on you?
No.
She's so feminine.
You must try their dongdongju.
- Two set meals? - Yes.
It is similar to my house and feels warm.
I feel at ease when I'm here.
The food is to my taste too.
I cannot guarantee the taste.
Kimchi is best made by hand.
We just have to do what we can to make it taste right.
Until now, we had...
a good few business crises,
but if you do your best,
things work out.
Even in your previous life, you were loyal and hard-working.
You never gave anything less than your best.
A haze flashes across her eyes every now and then.
What is it?
What story does she hide?
He fired me?
Very well.
Okay. You too.
I can smell it already.
You came all the way to Gapyeong.
Regardless of making a hit product,
- I'd like to thank you. - I hope it does well.
Don't feel pressured.
If you did the hard work, you leave the rest to luck.
Which place do you prefer?
My mother's or my brother's?
Both places are comfortable beyond my status.
Everyone cares so much for us.
Hunger is the best side dish.
I think I could drink it all.
Weren't you thirsty?
I did not notice,
but the food is to my taste.
Empty your bowl.
He must be this kind...
to his wife as well.
The dongdongju here doesn't give you a hangover.
You can wake up refreshed without a headache.
Where are you, Mom?
Yes, I had a drink.
Come home quickly. Let's talk in person.
Yesterday, you went to our cottage.
Yes.
Did you remember anything?
This is just my hunch,
but no.
Whatever the story, whatever the topic,
I'm ready to listen.
At any time.
I would like another bowl.
Thanks.
Clean the abalone. Be sure to get all the teeth.
Okay.
Are you using a different cushion compact?
Why?
Your skin has been extra clear.
Oh, it's this.
It helps a lot.
You can have it.
So Jeo and Ri An.
I'd like them to move back.
- Why? - My housekeeper's sanity...
comes and goes.
Can I take them?
No.
You don't need them around.
Your housekeeper comes regularly.
I didn't let them move in to put them to work.
They're quite trustworthy, and it's nice to have them around.
Can you do me a favor and give in?
You give up.
You don't always get your way.
You kicked them out.
- If you were them... - I kicked them out?
Did they leave voluntarily?
You told them to leave.
They're not emotionless brutes.
I'll talk to them nicely.
They'll stay with me.
The truth is,
Chi Gam takes her to the factory all the time to develop a new kimchi.
It bothers me.
It would.
She offers something new that you don't.
She's a complete woman with elegance too.
You know Chi Gam.
Beauties could line up before him, and he'd never even glance.
They say, "No man can refuse ten women."
It's not that I don't trust him.
You'd feel better if she were within your line of sight?
Yes.
My reason is the same.
I'm afraid Deung Myung might find So Jeo attractive.
I'm taking precautions.
Then how about this?
So Jeo can stay here, and I'll take Du Ri An.
Would they agree to that?
Those two won't part for whatever reason.
They say they're mother and daughter-in-law,
but they seem closer than any mother and daughter.
Deung Myung will get married soon.
You worry too much.
Either way.
Either way, let me ask them.
All this moving about will give them separation anxiety.
Our emotions don't have a certain shape.
Grudges form, but they also dissipate.
Deung Myung will marry and move out.
So Jeo and her mother-in-law give the house a certain warmth.
I'm glad I brought them over.
Since I married Chi Gam,
I served you as my senior for almost 20 years.
We lived separately. You never served me.
I never spoke or acted out of line.
I always respected your opinion.
I did the same.
Some sisters-in-law harass one another.
Did I ever scold you or give you a hard time?
Many times.
You were always too politically correct.
Don't waste your energy.
Once I say no, I mean it.
Good for you.
I bet industrial alcohol...
fills your veins instead of blood.
I didn't know abalone could be fried.
The chairwoman likes anything cooked in oil.
How could she not like her favorite that's deep-fried?
It says we'll arrive at 7:20 p.m.
Would you like to eat something at a rest stop?
Did you book a restaurant?
No, I didn't have the time to.
Unless it's too famous a place, most hotel restaurants have tables.
We could order room service too.
I saw an eating show recently.
I'd like to try fried sundae and soju.
You haven't had soju?
- No. - You lived that elegant a life?
That's nice, but it's our first meal as a married couple.
"Married?"
We're legally married.
We can have a wedding whenever we'd like.
Does it feel real?
It feels strange.
In a good way or a bad way?
I enjoy such strange feelings.
Do you feel unwell?
No.
Not at all.
A place like that...
Make a U-turn.
Yes, sir.
I would like to...
try a coffee.
Okay.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
What's going on?
I hope she won't be home late.
I'm cooking up a feast.
It might keep you up tonight.
One night is nothing.
I have the rest of my life to sleep.
You can.
There are lots of cafes like this.
I've never been to one.
A story comes to mind.
It was passed down through generations.
A hardworking,
trustworthy young man...
worked for a salary at a rich man's house.
A servant.
But...
he fell in love...
with his master's daughter.
They kept their feelings for each other to themselves.
Time passed,
and the master's daughter was married off.
The servant was so loyal to the young mistress,
and out of concern,
her father sent him off with her.
His own servant?
Yes.
She had to have a son,
but time went by and nothing happened.
For some reason, her mother-in-law of all people...
had the servant sent to...
her daughter-in-law's room.
He was sent to the daughter-in-law?
That means her son had issues.
What then?
That is all.
It could be a made-up story.
It just came to mind.
A happy ending?
Did they all live without any problems?
I do not know.
The servant's name.
What was it?
I think I heard of it.
It was a silly story.
We should go.
Did the servant...
give her a son?
I do not know.
Maybe I was told, and I had forgotten.
(Dan Deung Myung)
- Hi, Deung Myung. - Are you done?
Yes. I'm on my way back.
With So Jeo's mother-in-law.
If you don't have dinner plans,
can you both come to Jamsil World?
I'm taking So Jeo there.
Okay.
- Are they open at night? - Of course.
Text me your arrival time.
Okay.
Deung Myung invited us to an amusement park.
Tomorrow, a native speaker will help with your pronunciation.
Okay.
- Have fun. - I will.
Do you need anything?
Just a moment.
Lucky number seven?
I've never felt this tense and nervous.
I need alcohol on a night like this.
We booked too late, so we can't see the mountain,
even though it's a semi-suite.
We can't see anything at night anyway.
- Did... - Did...
- What? - Your junior...
who was at the club with you.
- Did you tell him? - No.
The spa is open until nine.
We should eat first.
After I wash my hands.
Okay.
I can't go to the spa...
and let him see my bare face.
What did you have for lunch?
Soybean milk.
I was busy and just had milk tea.
This is a historic day in my life.
Even more so for me.
Did you usually drink wine?
Sometimes...
I'd have liquor.
A little.
We should be more candid around each other...
and speak freely.
I'm not saying we should be rude.
We should be close and comfortable.
To be honest,
you worry about your parents, don't you?
I try to be positive about everything.
That's how my parents were.
How does the soju taste?
Is it because I'm hungry?
It's nicer than I thought.
You don't need a reason to like someone.
Did you turn off your phone?
Congratulations.
What would you say to me?
Be happy.
I can promise that...
you won't regret it.
That's how you feel?
I'm never wrong about the way I feel.
Don't look down on me.
Okay?
I just got home too.
They went to an amusement park with Deung Myung.
- Didn't you come to see me? - Kind of.
Do I like cake?
You're not interested in eating.
Should we go too? To lift our moods?
No one will recognize you.
So this is what it's like.
Is this your first time?
(Miss Universe, Miss Korea)
Mother.
Is that Eon?
It is not a kisaeng.
- You look so funny. - So do you.
I look funny?
This is where people transform.
It suits him so well.
If he had been born into a noble family,
he must have passed the state examination.
Did you go to a hair salon?
You cut your hair, right?
Yes.
Ms. Ma said it was too long.
How do I look?
It is a bit much,
but people will not recognize you.
Exactly.
Okay. Stand together.
Our family is all together.
This cannot be a dream.
Are you happy, Mother?
Resentment. Greed. I threw away all of that.
I am just grateful.
What do you want to ride?
If you get on, you'll see it's not a big deal.
Just looking at it...
makes me want to faint.
That one.
So Jeo.
Do you not hear the screams?
But they are smiling.
They are screaming because they are having fun.
We should too.
I'm here.
Hold on tight.
Yes, Mother.
You must not pass out.
Do not worry about me.
You don't need to be too scared.
Kids ride it too.
Yes, sir.
Oh, my.
Oh, Mother!
Oh, spirits!
Mother!
How ungraceful of her.
Hi, Se Mi.
Mother's phone is off again,
and she's still not home.
She's staying out tonight.
"Staying out?" Mother?
She went to a friend's cottage.
When did she call you?
This afternoon.
I'm at your place.
- "My place?" - Yes.
I wish Mother had texted me.
I already cooked side dishes.
I'll eat them tomorrow morning.
Okay.
She's too inattentive.
I'm drinking too much today.
Maybe it's because I'm not nervous.
- What do you mean? - I'm getting more drunk than usual.
Stop drinking, then.
If I stop now, I'll sober up quickly.
Is it bad to sober up?
I want to relax a bit.
I want to put my guard down.
Go ahead.
He's my husband?
Who would believe it?
Let's decide how to address each other.
We should call each other by name for the time being.
There's no rush.
My studio apartment...
We will live together there from now on.
When will you move in?
Is tomorrow too fast?
Let's take it slow.
If you eat too quickly, you'll get an upset stomach.
We're not food.
We're husband and wife.
Why are you laughing?
Because I can't believe it.
I'm starting to believe it now.
That means it didn't feel real before.
Why are you...
so sexy?
You're starting to talk to me casually.
That's what I think.
That's how you seem to me.
Okay.
What about me?
How do I look to you?
- Like a man. - No.
Female. Male.
Not my biological sex. How do I feel?
We...
started with feelings.
We'll live on feelings.
- We'll end with feelings... - Wait.
Don't say anything.
We can live as we feel,
instead of following habits and routines.
Let's be cool.
"Cool?"
Are you confident?
I am.
You see.
Well...
Should I say you feel reliable?
I can trust you.
"Trust?" Gosh.
That's very important.
That's what I learned from watching my parents.
That's the rule I live by.
Don't worry about a thing.
- Really? - Really.
Seriously.
Gosh. How cute.
Since I don't know anything except your name...
How can I put it? It's exciting.
You know my age, which is the most important.
Is age that important?
It is.
There must be other things more important than numbers.
You...
came in through my eyes...
and settled in here.
Since when?
It can't be from the club.
Crystal Hotel?
Why don't you think so?
When we talked that day, I already felt a connection.
I already liked you.
You know "Arabian Nights," right? "One Thousand and One Nights."
A bit.
I haven't finished reading it,
but how about we start "Arabian Nights" today?
A bit of your story every day.
How you grew up and lived.
I had a fairly easy life.
Are you sleepy?
No, I'm just...
Lie down.
We didn't sleep well last night.
We stayed out very late.
I stayed up all night.
- I'm okay. - No, you're not.
Right. That.
There are formalities we can skip,
and there are rituals we must not skip.
Wait.
This is paradise.
Should I go ahead...
No.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I want to lie down next to you.
That's okay, right?
Yes.
I want to touch your nose.
You have a nice profile.
Oh, my. I'm still...
a woman.
I have one good part too.
Ask me.
Where is your good part?
My heart.
It's not bad or mean.
It's pretty good.
Thank you.
I know you made a difficult decision.
That's what I want to say.
The beating of my heart.
You can feel it, right?
I don't know.
I'm going to pass out.
Yes.
Ju Nam. Control yourself.
You can't become a wolf.
This has to be a meaningful first night.
Is he a player?
Is he making me wait?
Stop.
Are you hot?
We can adjust the air conditioner.
How about you?
I'm okay.
I can take off my clothes.
Should I go and wash up?
I just want to be next to you.
- Look somewhere else. - I'm going to look.
Show me that smile once in a while.
That's all I need.
- And? - And...
nothing.
Your love is enough.
You said love...
was a result.
There is no result without process.
What if I ask you for the same thing?
Of course.
The phone is turned off.
Please leave a message after the tone.
(Miss Korea)
I could stay here all day long and not notice the passage of time.
This place is a paradise for kids.
Are you sure it is not too late?
It is you, Mr. Dan.
Hello.
Who is this?
Du Ri An?
Yes.
Oh, my. I barely recognized you. You totally...
Where is So Jeo?
She's going on rides with Deung Myung.
- Are you here alone? - Yes.
I wanted to come here so much.
I was thinking of visiting Chairwoman Baek's...
to see you.
You first, Mr. Dan.
To earn some extra money.
(Durian's Affair)
Are we getting kicked out again?
In this future world, I feel like a floating weed.
Like a stone being kicked around from house to house.
Bring Du Ri An over by seven.
We're heading over to your place because Ms. Lee called.
Eun Sung did?
You were hurt by me, right?
I'm sorry.
You're happy to see Auntie, right? Wave your hand.
Where are you, Dan Deung Myung?
- Is that a couple ring? - Yes.
Oh, my. Finally.
When can I meet her?
Would Se Mi lose it?
So what if she does?
Why is it so quiet?
Is everyone out, and you're alone?
You should go and get some sleep.
You will get sick.
How much do you need?
I should not drag this on.
You took off the ring you were wearing.
People might mistake that for a wedding ring.
- You should take it off. - It is.
It's a wedding ring.
Hello?
- Hello? - Hurry...
Okay.
To earn some extra money.
You were a servant.
I was a servant?
It's best to rip the band-aid off.
What if we really get hurt by our words?
Mother!
