How can we wear this for eight hours?
Eight hours is like all day long.
No way.
No, no. No way.
Do you really not have to set Bok Nam's table?
He should set it himself.
That's right. He should be grateful she cooked something at all.
It's no divorce if Jin Ok serves him.
It's not divorce, but it's that thing.
You live in the same house but you live separately.
- What's that called? - Graduate from marriage?
That's it, graduate from marriage.
You live in the same house,
but you don't infringe on the other's life.
That's not what Jin Ok's doing.
She's only staying until Dae Young returns.
It has a time limit...
but that is what she's doing at the moment.
I guess so.
I don't know when Dae Young will return,
but you need some new rules.
We didn't discuss it, but we have some.
Still, you need to sit Bok Nam down and be direct.
That's very important.
You might end up slowly crossing the line...
until you have a weird relationship.
She's right. Say there's a dirty spoon.
Can you not wash that while you're washing yours...
when it's right there?
I won't wash it.
It may sound hardhearted, but you can never teach by lecturing.
You must show him.
You have a point.
It's as quiet as a temple.
What's this mess, ever since this morning?
She goes out whenever she wants now.
She must be enjoying life.
What are you doing?
Is there something under the bed?
No, no.
How do you open the rice cooker?
Come here.
I pressed this. Why won't it open?
Dad.
Turn the lock at the top and then press this.
They should make it so one click opens it.
It's a pressure cooker. They should be hard to open.
Were you not able to have dinner yet?
There's some soup too.
I'll warm it up. Get some in a few minutes.
Anything from Dae Young?
No.
The punk.
- Did your mom tell you? - About what?
She wants a divorce.
She said so?
She'll only stay until Dae Young returns.
She sleeps in my mom's room.
I told you to be nice to her.
You're the pinnacle of patriarchy.
What? "The pinnacle of patriarchy"?
You're what we call old-fashioned.
Do you know that?
These days,
no man talks to his wife like you do to Mom.
Would I complain...
if she did the housework properly and persuaded Dae Young?
You got the wrong idea.
Mom's not a deity.
Get me some soup.
She bought an expensive octopus again.
If she'll stay until Dae Young returns,
there's your chance.
Be nice to her until then.
She might change her mind.
Why are the twins taking so long.
They could've made a shirt by now.
They need to get home before Dal Sook does.
Come on.
Do you know...
My goodness.
Why did you...
suddenly stop running towards me?
If you ran up to your wife, you should've hugged me.
- What? - "Darling, I love you," hug.
Give it a go. You need practice.
Okay...
Darling, I love you. I love you.
You have a long way to go. Well done.
- Thanks. - Good.
Why aren't they back yet?
I can't believe how much we had to walk about to get...
Be quiet.
Quiet. Your mom's home.
Go upstairs. Go upstairs.
Go on upstairs.
Honey.
- Where'd you put the shirts? - What?
What the consultant gave us.
- Ta-da. - Hey.
Hang on.
These are...
pretty cute.
- Right? - Yes.
- Do they suit us? - Let's see.
- Try them on. - Put yours on.
How did he know I like pink?
How do I look?
- You look pretty. - Do I look pretty? Am I cute?
Am I cute? Am I? Aren't I cute?
Yes. How about me?
You look like a college student.
So he wants us to wear this...
and spend a day together?
Yes. I feel like we're one already.
Do you think this will help your recovery?
I'm sure it'll help.
That's why he made it our homework.
Hey, why are you so deep in thought?
I'm going to...
meet So Young's family this weekend.
So?
It's obvious they'll disapprove.
Will worrying solve anything?
No, but I should be prepared.
What should I say when they mention my age?
How will I take responsibility for So Young?
Don't get too dejected already.
Send her these.
I thought that...
you looked nice together.
So I took a few photos.
Aren't they great?
Send them to your friend.
What? You don't have her number?
No, I have it.
Will it be okay?
Why wouldn't it be?
What's wrong with that?
How childish.
They said men never grow up.
(Baek Hyeon U)
Courage was what I needed.
Thanks to you,
I was able to go back to the old Cha Jin Ok.
Thanks, Hyeon U.
Sure. Take everything with you.
Dae Young will need a mom when he's back,
so I'll stay in this house until then.
But our life as a married couple is over this very day.
I don't want to spend my life looking after you.
What?
She doesn't want to spend her life looking after me?
She thinks that cooking for me is a huge deal.
Does she think I'm scared that she won't serve me food?
She's very wrong.
Mother.
(Dried pollack soup)
What's this?
This woman...
She's really fighting back this time?
Hey, Cha Jin Ok.
Cha Jin Ok!
You must've been so tired.
You slept in for once.
Sit down. I made some dried pollack soup.
Here.
Yes. This is KG Supermarket.
Bok Nam, you reopened the supermarket?
Oh, I'm not fully awake yet.
It's not that. Why did you call so early this morning?
Bok Nam.
Do you have any plans for today?
Not at the moment.
Then can you do me a favor?
Could you watch my office...
for just one more day?
What are you so busy with?
Serving the people?
Not at all.
My constituents are important to me,
but I'm trying very hard to keep my family together.
I see.
For your family?
Keeping the peace is not that easy to do, you know.
Right. But your family needs to be well...
for society to be healthy and well too.
It's a duty the man of the house should take seriously and not avoid.
- That fool. - So...
my wife and I are...
Bok Nam, please watch my office for me, okay?
Okay, thanks and bye.
What? You told me to ask him.
I told you they're practically divorced...
and you're talking to him about protecting families?
How could you?
Oh, you're right. I forgot.
Hang on.
Why can't I say that to him?
He should learn from me.
Bok Nam can't learn. He's too stubborn.
He could never wear something like this.
He is a bit closed-minded.
Do we just have to wear this and spend the day together?
Yes.
Wear these, do something, and that's our homework done.
Something's off.
Were they this color when we got them yesterday?
They're the right color...
and the right pattern.
What? What is it? What are you looking at?
Didn't we get married three weeks after we met?
We dated on week one, got things ready on two...
- and married on week three. - Right.
Despite the speedy marriage,
there was one thing I trusted.
Those were...
my eyes.
That's right.
Your two eyes that cannot lie.
Be honest.
Is there something I don't know about these shirts?
Why would there be?
I can't tell.
Your gaze changed ever since you got into politics.
I can't tell if you're truthful or lying.
This is why I told you to quit politics.
- We're late, we must run. - Hurry.
Yi Ran, keep an eye on Il Lan.
Mom!
I say that for your sake, you brat.
It looks good on them. I told you we should get those.
You did.
- We're late. Bye. - Bye.
What?
- "What?" - Ma'am.
Where did you hide it?
- Bring them to me now. - Okay.
Look.
How could we wear this?
Why can't we wear this? Let's just put it on.
- You want to wear this? - Yes, let's wear it.
What can't we do to hit a home run?
- Put it on. - I don't want to.
- Come on, wear it. - No, I won't.
Wear it!
- Wear it before I turn nasty. - Okay.
I thought it was the wrong color.
Get your arm in the right hole.
It's cute. Look at us.
What's this, a three-armed race?
Let's try to get along today, husband.
- Let's do this. Good luck. - Good luck.
Are you stupid? Use your left hand.
Let's link arms.
- 1, 2, 3, good luck. - 1, 2, 3, good luck.
So what...
do we do?
The doctor told us to do what we usually do.
The thing is,
I'm never at home at this time.
And why aren't you?
You're out even on weekends...
working for your constituents.
What do you do at this time of day?
What do you think?
I do the laundry and cleaning.
Do the cleaning in the evening.
Shall we sit side-by-side and watch TV?
This is so uncomfortable to move in.
We can't.
The consultant told us to do what we usually do.
Seriously?
- Come on. - I got bumped.
Watch where you go.
- Follow me. - Okay.
We must do what we always do.
Walk in step with me. To the right. 1, 2.
Nam Mi Rae.
Why are you up there? Come down here.
This is Nam Mi Rae. She'll be joining the ensemble.
You know each other, so I won't go further.
You all might find this strange.
It's all about her voice.
She's starting over.
Mi Rae.
Do you know how many competitors they each had to beat?
No, I don't.
Its ratio is 32 to 1.
The performers here...
survived a very harsh competition.
That goes for you.
I'll see how you do today...
and decide whether to keep you or not.
Did you practice? Where's the score?
I've done this show so many times.
I know all the songs.
You weren't in the ensemble.
Once glance is enough for me.
Okay then. Let's begin.
Music, please.
Seriously?
You're still on the phone?
Will you hang up?
No, no, my husband's home for the day.
Okay, I have to go. Bye.
What's wrong with you?
How many hours are you on the phone?
This is how I support your career.
I stayed friends with many people...
which is why you have a business...
and were elected to the council twice.
- Did you know that? - As if.
All you talk about is pointless gossip.
That's how married women alleviate their stress.
A scholar on TV said that...
people who chat with friends every day...
have a physiological age eight years younger.
Don't you want me to feel young?
While you're getting younger,
I'm getting way, way older.
Another call?
Come on.
Fine, I won't take it.
- My gosh. - You can't get older.
"The Little Prince."
"Once when I was six years old"...
"I saw a magnificent picture in a book."
Do you get what I mean?
When I was six...
No, no.
Don't try to translate what I just read.
Draw a picture in your mind.
This word here, "magnificent".
What does it mean?
It's only natural that you find words you don't know.
Why? Because you aren't American or British.
Whenever you come across a new word, don't look it up.
Just draw in your mind a picture that...
you think is magnificent.
That actually works?
Because we speak Korean.
But there's one more important thing.
What's that?
You have to memorize this book.
What?
You're smart, like your father.
Memorize five pages a day.
That many?
It's mostly the case with students who learn English in Korea,
but you know more grammar than you do vocabulary.
I prepared something for you.
Here.
What's this?
Words that American students learn by the time they leave high school.
All my other students have to buy it,
but I gave one to you for free.
Thank you.
Memorize five pages a day of that too.
Five pages a day...
That's 35 pages a week.
You gave me two books. 70 pages?
That's too much.
No problem.
We'll go over it again next time, so just remember half.
Okay.
But what you memorize that day,
you test yourself that day. Don't forget that.
What if I fail?
My students never fail.
I make sure that they memorize everything.
Honey. I think I'm getting a signal.
- What signal? - The call of nature.
The thing I dreaded has come at last.
Can I get out of this...
and zoom off and back?
We can continue from where we left off.
The clock resets as soon as we take it off.
Do you want to do this for another eight hours?
- No, no. - Let's go.
Are you sure?
We've been married for... That's right.
I haven't had any action in 10 years,
but during the time we were married,
I've seen more than enough of your ugly sides. My gosh.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
- Come on. - You come on.
- Come this way. - Walk in the same direction.
- Hurry up. - Okay. Walk straight ahead.
Wait, wait.
- Let's go. - Stop.
Why are you bringing a chair?
Where do I sit while you poop? Am I to stand and wait?
- You're right. - You're so inconsiderate.
- Hurry. - I don't believe we're doing this.
- Sorry, my bad. - Come on.
What a mess.
You can't sit down first.
I need time to undress.
Sorry.
Do it.
My goodness.
Ready?
- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.
Honey.
I bet that...
no other couple would have...
sat side-by-side in the bathroom. Right?
If I'd known,
I'd have brought my phone to take a selfie.
Why would you do that?
Are you enjoying this? Do you want a souvenir?
It's special.
That smell.
Flush it quickly.
Do you not take any vitamin C?
How do you know that?
Vitamin C stops your poop from stinking.
Where did you learn that?
You heard me gossip on the phone.
We hear and learn how the world works from each other.
It's so beneficial to us married women.
- Honey. - What?
I realized that cooking is such a huge task.
Can we just order Chinese?
You're thinking of that sitting on the toilet?
- You wanted to see me? - Take a seat.
How long was it since you were in an ensemble?
That was when I was starting out so 20 years ago?
How was it then?
I don't know. So-so.
The ensemble...
doesn't get any spotlight on stage.
But I still think they're the stars of any musical.
There can be a musical with only an ensemble,
but not without one.
You're right.
But everyone there wishes to be a lead.
Is that why you asked me to let you in?
Hoping I'd make you a lead if you did well?
Like I said last time, I'll start from the beginning...
Mi Rae.
Yes, director?
Must you be in musicals?
What do you mean?
Just retire.
Director.
Don't get too upset now.
Your voice is too strong for an ensemble...
but not captivating enough as a lead.
Director.
I quit drinking after my divorce.
Musicals is all I have.
Telling me to quit is like telling me to die.
Hyun Jung said the same thing three years ago.
- What? - Hyun Jung had changed...
when she returned after three years.
You know what she went through.
She almost did die trying to get her present voice.
If you want to be a lead, you need a unique voice.
Become irreplaceable.
How? What must I do?
I don't know.
See Master Sagong that Hyun Jung went to.
Master Sagong?
Yes. But it won't be easy.
You'd better be prepared.
He can't see...
The food's here. Do your part.
Hello.
That looks delicious.
- Enjoy the food. - Thank you.
- Honey. - That looks delicious.
Why did you come back?
To ask you to leave the places outside.
Sure, we will. You can go now.
Bye. Go ahead.
I haven't had this in a while.
Darn it.
It's tough eating with my left hand.
- My gosh. - Is it? I'll feed you then.
Here you go.
It's so good.
It's good.
Come on.
You got it everywhere.
Dong Hyun won't have time to...
play games anymore, thanks to you.
I bet he'll be busy memorizing right now.
I don't know much,
but this is how to learn a foreign language.
The top of my year in high school was...
especially good at English.
Guess his secret.
What was it?
He ate five pages a day of the English dictionary.
He actually ate each page?
Putting it in his mind...
wasn't enough, so he ate the page he'd memorized.
Oh, my gosh. So terrible.
He was that determined.
So you like my teaching method?
If course.
And you're the English expert.
When it comes to education,
I think a couple should be in agreement.
A difference in opinion could be a disaster for the child.
I agree completely.
So I'll do what you say when it comes to Dong Hyun's education.
Was that...
a marriage proposal?
I'd be the world's worst jerk to propose to you like that.
Give me time.
I'll show you the prime example of a proposal.
Will you really?
- I'm home. - We're back from school.
- That was good. - I enjoyed that.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
So Young's bringing her fiance over this weekend.
It doesn't cost you anything to meet him.
It did cost me.
- It did. - You'll meet my parents tomorrow.
Aren't you nervous?
It looks like you're more nervous than I am.
You need to look that much younger.
So I got you something.
