(Durian's Affair)
(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
(Animals were filmed according to guidelines.)
What is wrong?
I think...
Eon might be...
Eon?
Why?
So Jeo.
You are making me worry.
I think he is...
(Episode 3)
Eon.
My dear.
They went to get the physician.
Open your eyes.
Why is your hand so cold?
What happened to you, my dear?
What happened?
Tell me.
- When did this happen? - I do not know.
What do you mean? If you do not know what happened, who would?
What on earth did you do to your husband?
Honey...
My dear son, please.
- Go get some warm water. Hurry! - Yes, my lady.
What should we do?
Please...
Let us massage his feet.
Eon.
I cannot live if I lose you like this.
Please open your eyes.
Was he awake when you woke up?
I just assumed he was asleep.
You did not even look at him?
You should have checked to see if he was sound asleep.
You just rolled out of bed?
I slept in, so...
How foolish.
How could you let this happen? You two are newlyweds.
My gosh...
He was totally fine.
Until when?
Until when was he in sound health?
Until last night.
There is bear bile in one of the drawers in my room.
Hurry.
I cannot live if I lose you like this.
I truly cannot live.
Dear merciful Buddha. All deities of the sky and earth.
Please...
You must drink this, my lady.
Do you wish to follow your husband?
I wish...
I could.
Please, my lady.
What should we do?
What will you do?
How am I to get through this?
Honey.
Are you there?
Are you watching me?
I will leave after my evening bow.
Was that your last farewell?
What kind of sin did I commit in my past life...
that I must go on living with this broken heart...
after losing my child?
Should I take my own life and follow you?
Eon...
Look at you.
You got your husband killed...
in less than three months after the wedding.
But you are relaxing with a hot bath.
You will sleep like a baby.
- Where is Deung Myung? - He went to see Ohyiji.
Don't you have someone else?
If you do, go and see her.
Dear merciful Buddha.
Please either take my life too,
or let me...
see my husband in my dreams.
Even if it is just once.
I must hear his reason.
I must at least say a proper goodbye.
Please order her to stop, madam.
What if something bad happens...
Whether she dies or lives...
It is her fate.
Please, my lady.
I am worried you would collapse.
Get out.
Please have a sip at least.
This is useless.
Such insolence. Watch what you say!
Do not jinx it!
Please forgive me.
If anyone dies, it will be me.
Who do you think you are?
How dare you!
Did she get her husband killed for she is that ruthless?
So Jeo.
Stop.
Stop at once!
So Jeo.
I told you to stop!
What are you doing?
What are you, a corpse?
Get out at once.
So Jeo!
Get out of there. Please!
Are we dead?
We must be dead.
We must be...
in purgatory now.
What was Uncle Chi Jung saying earlier?
Are those women still at your place?
Yes, I have no idea what happened. They won't wake up.
The doctor said they passed out from exhaustion.
- You'll leave soon, right? - Yes.
Come on in.
Chi Gam went out just now.
Yes, I saw him.
Ohyiji? He's in my room.
She kept trying to lick her face.
Do you recognize her face?
A die-hard fan, perhaps?
It's impossible to know every fan.
It must be some kind of costume.
You mean, they dressed up as ghosts? Virgin ghosts?
These days, there are many quirky people who do whatever they want.
She's wearing hair extensions, right?
I thought so too, but it's her real hair.
I don't know.
I hope...
they didn't sneak in with bad intentions.
It doesn't seem to be the case.
I heard that the doctor said they fainted from exhaustion.
The one in the room looks very young.
Ohyiji.
Uncle Deung Myung bought homemade treats for you.
Uncle Deung Myung is better than your dad.
The guest room.
Yes, ma'am.
Do you want something to drink?
I had a drink at home.
As for the rosy seabass, don't buy any if they only have small ones.
Yes, ma'am.
She'd be perfect on "Korean Ghost Stories."
Try one.
It's so good, right?
You woke up.
It's okay. You're at my uncle's house now.
Honey.
Honey!
Do you know her?
No.
Do you need to use the bathroom?
- Mother... - She's in the living room.
I'll remove this for you.
It's just an IV drip.
The doctor said you fainted from exhaustion.
Your mother fainted again.
Come with me.
You can't get off the bed by yourself?
What's with her?
You were walking just fine at the cottage.
Do you know me?
That was...
definitely Dol Soe.
Sit on the couch.
Look, I need you to explain what happened.
How did you get into our cottage?
Are you his stalker fans?
I'll get going.
You're not staying for lunch?
I had brunch.
I...
Honey!
Come to your senses, will you?
You'd better watch what you say.
Who's your "honey?"
Even if you do not remember me,
do you...
Do you not recognize her?
Isn't that Uncle Chi Gam's phone?
My gosh. He forgot to take his phone.
Well, take care of yourselves.
- Bye. - Bye.
Eon!
You cannot leave.
I think you're confusing me with someone else.
Don't you know who I am?
Dan Deung Myung.
Dan Deung Myung?
Yes.
What's your next show?
- Have you already picked one? - Yes.
- Is it a secret? - No, it's a period piece.
Why?
I hope you don't take on a period piece.
- Are you playing a crown prince? - No, a nobleman's son.
I don't like that.
- Why not? - Just do a modern piece.
For such a historical drama, the costumes alone are a real nuisance.
You'll have to wear a beard.
Was the headband called manggeon? It'll hurt your forehead.
Director Ju Nam really wants me to do it.
The script is well-written too.
I'd hate to see someone call you "honey."
Do you only watch historical dramas about royal families?
Deung Myung, I really would hate to see someone call you "honey."
Honey.
(Mother)
Yes, Mother.
Can you come over?
Chi Gam went to the gym.
Can't you come alone?
Of course, I can.
I was just telling you that Chi Gam went to the gym.
- Chi Jung... - Ma'am.
- I have to go. - Okay, Mother.
Where do you live?
Do you not have a cell phone?
You have nothing?
What's with these women?
What on earth happened?
That was Eon.
I am sure of it.
What is this place?
This cannot be real.
Is this a dream?
It hurts.
Yes, it hurts indeed.
He said this was his uncle's house.
That is what Eon told me.
He is not Eon's uncle.
Is this the celestial realm?
Then are we dead?
In any case,
we met Eon again.
He looks exactly like Eon but said he was not Eon.
And how come everyone's hair is so short?
What is going on?
What is that thing over there?
It looks scary.
How would I know something that you do not know?
Mother, look!
That face. Is that her soul captured in that thing?
I do not know.
Are we truly dead?
I do not think we are dead.
Mother, do you not need to relieve yourself?
Now that you mention it...
Where is the outhouse?
That is a vase, is it not?
I do not see anything else we could use.
It smells.
Of urine?
No.
It is not awful, but it is not a pleasant smell.
I must relieve myself too.
Mother, you go ahead.
I will turn around.
There is no way this is a chamber pot.
I have never seen such a flower before.
This must be...
the celestial realm.
Blue flowers do not exist.
Then Eon would recognize us.
Also, he said his name was Dan Deung Myung.
His face and that voice...
I am certain that he is Eon.
Although his clothes and hair looked different.
Yes.
Anyway...
She went that way, right?
- What is it? - I think...
we have come a bit too far.
I believe we are in the future.
The future?
Yes.
- That is absurd. - Please forgive me.
What was that about?
It hurt, did it not?
It must, for this to make sense.
That hurt.
I am sure of it, Mother.
If we were dead,
we would not feel the urge to relieve ourselves.
And most importantly,
why would Eon not recognize us?
I bet a lot of time has passed.
And this is how people live?
Yes, thanks to the merciful Buddha.
The Buddha has granted our wishes, Mother.
I do not understand what is going on.
I am sure of it.
He said this was his uncle's house.
Then...
He was reincarnated as Dol Soe's nephew?
He is no longer his father?
He is Eon's uncle?
We met him again, Mother.
But...
he does not remember us?
How could he remember us?
He utterly broke our hearts when he passed like that.
He has been reborn, and this is a new life.
Whether he recognizes us or not is not important.
Eon seems to be doing great,
and what matters is that we met him again.
Like you said...
Yes, you are right.
I find this so hard to believe.
We owe this all to the merciful Buddha.
But what if we wake up and...
I will rip all of my hair out.
Please rip it all out with no mercy.
I truly hope what you are saying is true.
You met your only child again,
and I met my husband again.
We are in the future now, Mother.
I cannot say you are wrong.
Based on the circumstances...
They must've escaped a mental hospital.
Thank you,
the merciful Buddha.
All deities of the sky and earth.
Thank you, the merciful Buddha.
- Thank you, the merciful Buddha. - Thank you, the merciful Buddha.
You know, this isn't a temple.
Why isn't the housekeeper back yet?
I found some big rosy seabass, so I bought two.
- Shall I freeze one? - Sure.
Give them some food...
and tell them to cab home.
I don't think they're all there.
Clearly, they're not. I think they escaped a mental hospital...
while doing some kind of role-play.
Thank you, the merciful Buddha.
- See you later. - Thank you.
Ramyeon or bread? What do you want to eat?
What?
Where is...
the outhouse?
"Outhouse?" You mean, the bathroom?
It's over there.
Why did you laugh?
Are you filming a TV drama or something?
Are there cameras here?
Such insolence.
Goodness.
This is the outhouse?
Ask her again.
Okay.
I look like a ghost!
I look horrible.
Is this where you wash your face, not where you relieve yourself?
Don't change the date.
The fourth Saturday of the month?
- She is not talking to herself, - Okay.
- but no one is here to listen. - All right.
- What is this? - Bye.
Excuse me.
Would you tell us where the outhouse is?
I already did.
Go and do what you need to do.
What a nuisance.
My gosh. What are you doing with toilet water?
Wash it off at once. With soap!
Hurry up and wash your face.
Are you from the boondocks?
Even so,
who washes their face with toilet water?
You mean, this is where you relieve yourself?
What? Goodness me.
I think so, Mother.
But how could you relieve yourself here?
This water looks so clean.
Go ahead and wash your face first. Let us not waste water.
Gosh.
Close your eyes for a moment.
Goodness.
Hurry up. Your face too. Wash everything thoroughly.
Were you out weeding the field or something?
Do we look like we would do such lowly work?
What happened to your shoes?
Tell us...
how and where we can relieve ourselves.
Did they not teach you how to pee at the hospital?
Sit down like this.
If you're done, turn it off.
Hold on.
Do you not know how to use a bidet either?
Clearly, you don't know.
When you're done, just press this button here.
This is nuts.
Mother, you go ahead.
Wait outside.
Mother. Are you able to go?
Mother.
I can not go.
Why?
It will not come out.
You go first.
How clean,
comfortable, and nice.
Is it coming out?
Yes, Mother.
Will you be long?
Sorry, Mother.
It is a bit indecent,
but it is coming out endlessly.
That is a relief.
Mother.
Make yourself comfortable and relaxed.
This. After you are done.
Okay.
Gosh.
What were they doing with this?
Come and eat this.
If this is the afterlife,
I have come to paradise.
What a nice aroma.
(Spray Pigeon, Fabric deodorizer, Anti-static, Ice flower)
What should we do about this?
I am not sure.
She said we should eat.
These are not vegetable pancakes.
This is...
I think it may be tarak.
Tarak?
Do you not know, Mother?
I think I may have heard of it.
You must be very hungry.
I also feel weak.
Please eat.
What is wrong, Mother?
Is there water?
Can't you drink milk?
What an unfortunate life I have.
I even have to take care of some random guests.
It is just too...
Bitter, Mother?
- Sweet. - That's why you can't eat it?
Do you eat this?
Should I spit it out?
It's so delicious.
I do not mean to trouble you,
but please give me some rice.
I don't have any.
The water also does not taste good.
All water tastes the same. Goodness.
How are we supposed to eat this?
It looks like they were shrunk and put in there.
Take a taxi and leave.
Now.
Other families wouldn't have let you sleep in their house.
They even gave you a nutritional injection.
They were already so generous.
Get up now.
This isn't some ordinary house.
Where are you saying we should go?
Why are you asking me that? What do you want me to do?
You must have a place you live.
A hospital or a nursing home.
Also, you're obviously much younger than me.
Why are you talking like you're in a historical drama?
Go now.
There are many taxis out front.
We do not have anywhere to go.
So?
- Are you a beggar or something? - Please be careful what you say.
Are you ladies and madams or something?
Where did Dol Soe go?
Dol Soe?
There...
Mr. Dan?
Why not Mang Soe?
How rude.
Is it because we are dressed like this?
You're the ones being rude.
Gosh. There's no use.
Hurry up and go. Stop testing my patience.
- Call Dol Soe. - Call Mr. Dan yourself, lady.
- Lady? - What should I call you, then?
Mate?
If I had a temper...
Good things happen to those who are patient.
These hooligans.
Put your shoes on.
Let go.
Do you want me to call the police?
Is Dol Soe's name "Police?"
Stop putting on a show.
Are you pretending to be stupid now?
Let go.
You're so strong after that nutritional injection.
You should've listened to me while I was still being nice.
How dare you...
That's why you should mind your manners.
Talk so I can understand.
How dare you? Don't you have a mom?
I will not take one step until Dol Soe comes.
That peasant. My legs are shaking.
You should sit.
The floor is more comfortable.
I wonder if there is a binyeo around.
Really.
The phone is turned off.
I don't know.
I did what I could.
I can't just call the police.
I'm sure Mr. Dan will be back.
I'm already hungry again.
Is it someone you know?
He is your real father-in-law.
Honey.
This is...
your real father.
He was in charge of running our house.
A farm supervisor?
If so,
it is even more certain that we came to the future, Mother.
Seeing how hungry I am,
this is reality.
If this were a dream, we would have woken up by now.
What a delicious smell.
Oh, you scared me.
Don't watch me eat.
Is there no soup?
Why do you care if I have soup or eat plain rice?
We are still guests in your home.
You should not treat us like this.
More like intruders.
Hurry up and leave before Ms. Lee gets home.
She may look elegant, but she's no joke.
Dol Soe's wife?
There is even a saying...
that you may eat alone next to a dog,
but you cannot eat alone next to a person.
- Mimi. - Yes?
- Turn on the TV. - Turning on the TV.
I told you I'd think about it.
- Oh, my! - Oh, my!
I think it's right to let things happen naturally.
Is it natural for a woman to send flowers one-sidedly?
I just wanted to do that.
It's not like we're complete strangers.
Who are you?
Don't take it further than a crush.
I know my son well.
I know what kind of partner suits him...
and what kind of woman he's attracted to.
Are you saying I'm not that person?
Yes.
This is all hypothetical.
If Joong Hyuk and I were to get close,
what would you do?
You'll go against me?
That's not what I mean.
If you get close and if you two like each other,
I'll let you.
But that won't happen.
Then, please watch over us.
I won't disappoint you.
I'm already disappointed.
You're five years older than Joong Hyuk.
I'm not just older.
I have a lot of things.
- That shameless girl. - I don't need those things.
Do you think we don't have anything?
Joong Hyuk will inherit everything.
Isn't it always better to have more wealth?
That cunning witch.
You can't become part of my family. Ever.
I learned you can never know what's going to happen in life.
- That's correct. - Don't forget what you said.
(Tonight at 9:10 p.m.)
- Oh, my! - Oh, my!
- How ridiculous. - Oh, my!
- Mimi. Turn the TV off. - Oh, my!
What?
Eat your bread.
Stop looking at me like beggars.
Are you calling us beggars...
because we look like this?
You haven't starved enough.
Try starving for three days.
You'd even eat frog legs.
I am fine.
Please give her a bowl of rice.
No. Mother must eat.
You must be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Where's your son? Where's your husband?
Call them and ask them to pick you up.
I cannot swallow it.
It is making me feel sick.
Is this food or honey?
Me too.
How can we eat something so sweet?
Do you think...
the world is watching us right now?
Like what we were watching just now.
I am not sure.
We should be careful with our words. We must not say anything strange.
I understand what you are saying.
Oh, my.
Mother.
Could they be watching when we pee?
We cannot do anything.
But I feel much better...
because I could meet Eon.
I am glad to see him healthy and alive.
I feel like I can breathe.
With that one thing,
I can endure and survive this situation.
Even if the whole world is watching, I can...
Wait.
Swallow it.
No matter who tries to make you talk,
you stay quiet.
I will take care of it.
Yes, Mother.
You must not be hungry enough.
Oh, I completely forgot. Ohyiji!
You made ohyiji this time of year?
Ohyiji is delicious.
You can't say such a thing. If Ms. Lee had heard...
You can't even eat bread with jam,
but you can eat health soup?
Why is ohyiji a health soup?
I guess because people sometimes put it in cold water.
Ohyiji is best with water and rice.
Gosh. Being hungry...
makes people so desperate.
I am salivating at the thought of ohyiji.
We barely ate.
We could not eat. It was not our choice.
I guess my appetite came back after seeing Eon.
Ohyiji. You must've been so hungry.
Sorry.
Should I give you a tasty treat, or should I give you food?
What is that?
I guess you haven't seen Ohyiji.
I figured you must've seen her while I was at the grocery store.
I think it is a dog.
A puppy.
How could a dog be so ugly?
I think its eyes are going to pop out, Mother.
It looks so scary.
It looks vicious.
Who said you could talk like that?
She's the daughter of this family.
A daughter? How could a dog...
Stop speaking nonsense.
It really doesn't make sense.
Even if you were in the hospital...
Are they insane...
but just look normal?
But how could both of them go insane together?
Gosh. I might go insane too.
It must be a name.
But how could it be Ohyiji?
Naming an animal a food. How hideous.
I do not know what is going on.
They say you can survive...
even when a tiger has you as long as you keep it together.
I need to keep it together.
The world has changed unimaginably.
They say time is a scary thing.
But the outhouse is great, is it not?
It is. It is unworldly.
- It did not smell at all. - It is easy to clean yourself.
Water pours out from the lump of metal.
We will need to get binyeo soon.
If there is some string or cloth...
Oh, my. I was like this the whole time.
If we really cannot find anything,
we will have to cut your tie and use that.
We look like ghosts.
Should I cut it now?
What would we cut it with?
First, we should ask whether they have a binyeo.
There must be scissors or a knife.
We are being treated badly because we are dressed like this.
They say clothed beggars are fed,
but unclothed beggars are not.
I can see how true that is now.
I must have looked so pitiful to Eon.
I am embarrassed and sad, Mother.
At least you are young.
And you are wearing mourning clothes properly.
You should have told me.
So I could dress appropriately.
Were you going to see Eon without me?
I did not know at all.
But?
It is a long story, Mother.
I will tell you later.
Your legs are aching.
They would.
You kowtowed so many times.
Do you not feel ill at all?
I am in a daze.
My calves hurt,
and I feel dizzy.
How can she be so inhospitable?
She had cooked rice.
We can eat when Dol Soe comes.
Bear with it for a while.
I can bear it for any amount of time.
The more I think about it,
the more I am amazed by Buddha's mercy.
I would love to make sense of it.
You must be so busy.
I don't mind.
So Yul, can you call me?
I can't find my phone.
Here.
I hope they like the gift.
Thanks.
Are you Lee So Yul?
Yes.
In kindergarten, we...
Dan Chi Jung?
My gosh.
Auntie, my kindergarten seatmate.
My goodness.
I can't believe you...
- What a doting husband. - What husband?
Isn't that a gift?
For my sister-in-law. I'm still single.
For real? I don't believe you.
Come with me, then. My sister-in-law loves flowers.
Is he a regular?
No, I was passing by.
There's a cafe next door. You haven't had lunch, have you?
I shouldn't have done this drama.
- Why? - I'm getting cursed in DMs.
That means you're popular and a good actress.
- Are you at your brother's? - I will be soon.
You'll get photographed if you're out. Go home.
After my coffee.
Okay.
Can we meet this evening? Even if it's late.
Is it a special day?
Your wife likes flowers.
Why bother? We always have some.
It's different if it's from your brother-in-law.
Are the freaky ladies still here?
I guess?
Who are you?
Mother will be angry if she finds out.
What day is it?
Hangawi is three days away.
With me like this,
you must not be able to prepare any food.
We must still offer the ancestral rite.
Yes.
My head hurts as if someone is taking an ax to it.
Will you undo my head tie?
Undo my hair as well.
Even your hair knot?
Loosen my hair and smooth it out for me.
That is so relaxing.
Do you think of Dol Soe every now and then?
You must sometimes.
I beg the deities...
every waking moment that you will get better.
Before you married me,
are you sure nothing happened between you?
Honey.
I cannot speak for you,
but I am sure Dol Soe had feelings for you.
A boy who smiled for an older girl.
He was nothing but...
a good and hard worker.
You are a good daughter-in-law,
and my mother is a good mother-in-law.
She even let a servant into her daughter-in-law's room.
- Honey... - Since that day,
I have lived in torment.
It might have been a paradise for you.
Please stop.
Do not let yourself get carried off and remarried.
Remain a widow.
Why do you not answer?
That is nonsense.
You will recover yet again.
If there is an afterlife,
if I am born again,
I will choose again...
to take you as my wife.
What do you say?
My lady, the medicine is ready.
Why do you not answer?
Can you not answer,
or will you not answer?
I want...
what you want.
Do you mean that?
Of course.
The moon is bright.
Thank you.
Go to bed.
You need to rest as well.
You barely sleep these days.
Drink this.
Honey.
Drink your medicine.
You must take this.
Take your medicine.
I am sick of it.
I do not even want to smell it.
It is a different prescription.
I wish to hold you...
to my heart's content.
It is stuffy.
The window.
It is cold outside.
The moon went down.
I will open the window on time...
so you can see it tomorrow.
Before it cools...
You fell asleep again?
Honey.
Have you gone?
Honey.
What's this aura?
That posture, that elegance.
They must be losing their mind upstairs...
because they're missing two angels.
Hello.
(Durian's Affair)
What's this about the two stowaways?
Did the police take them?
What is this fruit called?
- A durian. - I must look up at you.
Where's your husband?
The "Death Song" singer.
Didn't she drown in the Korea Strait?
So what? You'll drown with Mother?
Why come here without asking?
You.
Ask for permission from now on.
I'll kill you.
Keep this to yourself.
Two days ago, the night Dol Soe died.
Mother was holding a cushion?
Yes, folded in half.
There must be someone you think of and miss sometimes.
You've never seen someone's face before?
It's serious.
I made a mistake, did I not, Mother?
It's as if you're from Joseon.
