(Episode 21)
I thought that incident...
would put you off camping forever.
It did for a while,
but now it all feels like a shared memory.
To tell the truth, it was quite thrilling and fun.
What? It was fun?
Yes. And starting today, it'll just get better.
Thank you, Joon Ho. I'll make it up to you.
No. I should make it up to you.
You don't need to do that anymore.
Just do what you do now.
What I do now?
This?
Yes.
If a man should have just one thing for a woman,
what would that be?
I'm not sure. Money?
Affection.
Many men pretend to be sweet,
but actual warmhearted men like you are rare.
You saw me the day we first met.
You made me cry.
All I need is a little affection.
I don't need anything else.
I didn't know I was so affectionate.
I even feel sorry for your ex-wife.
She didn't see this side of you.
She said...
she doesn't find affectionate men charming.
She's too proud of herself or she didn't love you.
It's one or the other.
She didn't love me?
When you fall out of love,
no amount of affection will help.
Anything the person does becomes a hassle.
Why wouldn't it if you can't stand the person?
I guess.
Joon Ho.
How's the sky like after it rains?
It's sunny.
It's not just sunny, it's clear.
That's right. You even feel better on such days.
To you, the divorce was a shower.
I'll make that rain stop.
I'll be that miracle for you.
Don't say that.
I should be your miracle.
We can be each other's miracle.
- Let's have coffee. - Okay.
Cheers?
Is it the mood? The coffee tastes delicious.
Coffee tastes best when you drink it like this.
We should do this often.
I'd love that.
Shall we go inside now?
Your wife won't attack us today.
Shall we?
Let's go.
You're studying really hard.
Is the tutor scary?
A bit?
She said she makes all her students memorize it.
- How? - I don't know.
How can she make someone memorize something they can't memorize?
She can't stuff a book in their brain.
Shall I not memorize just to find out?
Yes. I'm curious too.
Mom, get me a desk for my room.
Why? Will you stay here?
No.
I'll spend the weekends here when Dad remarries.
Good boy.
Okay. I'll get a desk and matching bookcase.
Mom. When does your musical start?
I can't wait.
What? You want to watch the show?
Of course I should.
You can't.
It's not for minors. It's for adults only.
- Really? - Next time.
Watch my next musical.
When will that be?
Next year or the year after?
I bragged about it to my friends.
He's gone.
You surprised me last night and you cooked breakfast too?
Are you trying to make me faint?
You cooked for me all the time.
I should cook for a change.
Thank you, Joon Ho.
This is all I can cook.
It's my best attempt.
I love this kind of breakfast.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
Do you have any wet wipes?
Wet wipes? Just a moment.
Here.
You don't eat any jam?
No. I don't like sweet stuff.
It's a jam you've never had before.
It is? What jam is it?
Here.
We're here.
Hello and welcome.
Hello.
This is So Young's mother.
- Welcome. - Hello.
- Mom. - What?
- Nice to meet you. - Hi. Welcome.
- Let's sit over here. - Thanks.
I'll go and set the table.
- Come over. - Okay.
Mom, what's wrong? You made Hyeon U feel awkward.
Does he look that old?
Everyone at work thinks he's in his mid-30s.
Do you not like him?
Talk to him over dinner. You'll like him.
He's an amazing saxophone player.
He volunteers and plays music for donations with his friends.
He's an angel.
Everyone at work loves him.
- Get the rice. - Okay.
Why didn't you give me any information beforehand?
I didn't want you to be prejudiced.
I asked you to focus on his character, not anything else.
Isn't that what's most important?
That's all I care about.
If he's not a decent person, even if he has a great strength,
he's not for me.
I'd rather live alone than marry someone who isn't decent.
Tell them to come in.
Mom, show him some love...
as you do to me.
Come in. Sit over there.
Please sit.
Thank you.
My mom's a great cook.
You'll love her food.
Thank you.
Let's all eat.
- Are you okay? - Sorry.
Hyeon U.
I guess he's very nervous.
It's because of how you look at him.
You're not usually like this.
You'll give me indigestion too.
What did I do?
Try to smile.
I think I saw him somewhere before.
Are you going to a slaughterhouse?
Can't you move faster?
I'm getting ready.
Let me see.
Here, on the elbow.
There's not a mark. Don't be silly.
I'm not being silly.
I'm bruised all over because we had to be conjoined twins.
I fell over, bumped into things.
I hurt all over.
What is it you want to say? You won't come along?
Did I say that?
I promised the constituents.
Then what's this about?
It's almost time for our appointment.
It's just that the assignment...
he gives us is just too hard.
Can't we tell him to not give us any or...
give us something easy to do?
Wouldn't you rather just not show up than say that?
Dal Sook.
You can ask anyone in the street...
if they've seen a man as cooperative as me with this issue.
If I'm making this much of an effort,
shouldn't you help me for the sake of my well-being?
Do you think I want help for my sake?
What?
Yes, it is for your sake.
Is it purely for my sake?
It's for the both of us.
The doctor said you can't get it up...
because you either have...
a physical or psychological issue.
We need to live a long and healthy life together.
Don't you want to live with a beautiful woman like me anymore?
Then leave it.
Okay, honey.
Wait for me, honey. I'm coming.
He died as soon as I started middle school.
My mother raised me on her own.
She had a hard time.
People say that something happens just when you think you're okay.
There's a truth to that.
As soon as I found a job and settled in,
my mother suffered physically.
She got sick?
It was a brain hemorrhage.
She should've gotten help soon, but she was on her own.
She got to a hospital too late.
Oh, dear.
She managed to survive,
but she was bedridden for 12 years...
until she died three years ago.
That must've been hard.
Haven't we...
met somewhere before?
Did So Young not tell you?
You saw him at the supermarket.
He saved you.
That's right.
It could've been a disaster if it hadn't been for you.
Were you there by coincidence?
Or...
I knew that you worked there, Dad.
You didn't tell anyone,
so I asked him to go in and check.
I see. So that's what happened.
Anyway, you saved me that day.
It's so good to meet you.
If it hadn't been for you,
things could've gotten really bad.
I still shudder when I think about it.
- Thank you. - It was nothing.
If that happened as soon as he went inside,
you were meant to meet.
I guess so.
Why won't Mom join us?
Take this.
Mom. Do you love me?
Be nice to him as much as you love me.
How old are you?
You seem to be on the older side.
I'm 45.
What?
45 years old?
Were you born in 1974 then?
Yes.
He's the same age as you.
He doesn't look old.
Some think he's as young as 30.
What do you do?
I'm a nurse.
You said you were colleagues.
He isn't a doctor?
Are doctors the only men in a hospital?
I'm sorry.
Most men in hospitals are doctors,
so I assumed you'd be one too.
Are there many male nurses?
Yes. We're on the increase.
Male nurses are needed...
when caring for the critically ill.
I see.
So Young's...
not just 10 years younger. She's over 20 years younger.
How did you think of marrying someone her age?
Mom.
You're much older. You're an adult.
You should've talked her out of the idea.
Mom.
You don't marry everyone you love.
I apologize.
Hyeon U.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. We expected as much.
Don't take what my mom said to heart.
I'll talk to her.
- I should go. - Okay.
I'll call you.
So Young. Don't argue with your mom.
I won't.
Did you have to speak like that? He's her superior at work.
You could've been nice to him and talked to So Young instead.
For him to visit us,
he'd have thought about it enough.
He wouldn't have come here if he weren't determined.
I guess he came very prepared.
I must make sure he never comes back.
Do you know what he said?
He told me not to argue with you.
I can't argue, but then I must.
What should I do?
It's so annoying.
(Oh Su Nam Couples' Clinic)
Look at this.
I'm bruised all over. See?
You did your homework well.
Did you feel anything other than the inconvenience?
Feelings?
Yes. Tell me honestly.
Other than the inconvenience, I didn't feel much.
I wondered if we must do this,
how it would help...
He told us to be honest.
When was...
the longest time you spent with your wife?
Do you remember?
We're always together.
- Aren't we? - We aren't.
How long were you together...
making actual physical contact?
I'd say... About an hour?
- Right? - No.
Then about 10 minutes?
A minute?
A second?
He never touched me at all for 9 years and 8 months.
Very well.
How did you feel being conjoined?
Rather than feeling inconvenienced or uncomfortable, it was fun.
How so?
I got to stick close to him to do things like exercise,
and eat jjajangmyeon and fruit.
Then I felt his body temperature and...
Anyway, I liked it.
Why is it so hot in here? Can we turn on the AC?
It's off because it's fall.
Oh, I see.
You might need it on even in the winter.
Shall we go a step further?
Do you have a sexual fantasy?
A what? A fantasy?
A sexual fantasy.
A memory of a great time you had...
or something you imagine in your dreams?
Tell if you have any.
Must we talk about that here?
It's part of your treatment so be honest and open.
I have one.
You do?
Of course I imagine certain things.
If I must share, it's not so much a fantasy,
but someone did appear in my dreams.
That's fine. Tell us about that.
Can't you go first?
Just tell us already.
Okay, so...
in my dreams, I did it with Ji Hwa Ja.
Ji... Who?
Assemblywoman Ji Hwa Ja.
How could you dream of doing it with her?
What am I to do when she appeared in my dream?
It's not like I can control it.
She appeared because you like something about her!
That woman put me in handcuffs.
I shudder to think of her.
What would I like about her?
I don't feel anything for her.
That much I can swear to every deity in the world.
Doctor, if a woman appears in a dream,
doesn't that mean he thought of her a lot when he's awake?
That's not always the case.
Forget all this.
Did that hurt a lot?
It hurts.
I'll massage you with a hot towel at home.
- Sit back down. - That hurts.
Dong Hyun.
Shouldn't you memorize "The Little Prince"?
You told me not to yesterday.
That was because I wanted to find out...
how she'd make you memorize it,
but what could the secret be?
She'd hit you.
She'd hit me?
I hate that more than dying.
She wouldn't do that,
so don't worry about it.
If it's not that, she won't teach you until you do memorize.
What else could it be?
Why do you keep changing your mind?
The more I think about her,
the more I think she's a nice person.
When I was over there yesterday,
I saw the house was really clean.
And the fridge was full.
Right. She's not at all like you.
- Even the kitchen's clean. - Right.
She cooks and cleans well.
So I'm pretty sure she'll teach you well...
as if you're her own son.
She will, right?
To you, she'll be...
a better mom than I am.
Should I say no...
and hug you and cry that no mom...
is as good as you?
(Master Sagong)
Hello? Yes.
Yes, I called you dozens of times since yesterday.
You told me to come so I did.
How could you disappear just leaving a note?
An hour?
I can't be there in an hour.
Okay, fine.
What's this guy's problem?
Who was that?
My voice isn't as good as it used to be,
so I need some training.
What'll you do?
Will you stay until I get back?
No, I'll go home.
Then let's leave together. Pack your things.
Your fantasies are quite different,
but now you know what each other wants.
Here's your homework.
We have another assignment?
We aren't exactly young,
so can we do something age-appropriate?
This one's easy.
Play along with each other's fantasy.
If that's the homework, I can do that many times.
But in my case,
it's something I saw on TV 20 years ago.
It won't turn me on now.
It won't?
Oh Dal Sook.
You can't go home today.
No. I won't let you go.
Not even the deities can stop us now.
That's not fun.
It's old-fashioned.
Talking about and carrying out each other's sexual fantasy...
is about increasing your interest in copulation,
but it's also about respecting one's taste.
- Oh, okay. - Oh, I see.
You may have lived together for 20 years,
but there are things you don't know about.
Or things you may have known, but forgotten about.
That's what you must explore and discover.
Hello?
Is Master Sagong not in?
Are you the one who called me?
I am.
You shouldn't be so rude.
You made me come and go like a dog in training.
I thought a training center would be a bit more special.
It's doesn't look special at all.
What's this?
Let's hear the grounds behind why you came to see me.
The grounds?
Oh, the reason?
I'm here to learn how to sing of course.
Where is Master Sagong?
I am Master Sagong.
What?
I was told he was an old man with white hair.
That's my grandfather.
I'm looking for your grandfather then.
When can I see him?
He is old...
and no longer takes apprentices.
No way. My junior said she learned from him.
- What's her name? - Kim Hyun Jung.
I taught her.
Did you really?
I didn't think you are the master because you look so young.
This works for me.
You'll be better than an old man.
Great. I'll register today.
I will not teach you.
What? Why not?
- Do I look poor? - No.
- You lack heart. - What?
I'm saying you have the wrong attitude.
What are you talking about? You know how often...
I called and visited to learn from you.
And why won't you teach me if you taught Hyun Jung?
Are you discriminating?
Yes, I'm being discriminating.
What?
You came wanting to sing,
but you wore tight clothes restricting your breathing,
a lot of makeup, and high heels.
You're full of the urge to look better than others...
when you don't respect anyone.
How do you expect to learn?
(Sagong Training Center)
What did I do wrong?
Did he just throw me out? I'm Nam Mi Rae.
Unbelievable.
Who does he think he is?
The cheetah rushes towards its prey.
Do you not like him too?
The cheetah failed.
I don't know.
He seems like a nice guy.
He's just way too old.
He'll be 60 when you turn 40.
He said that to me so many times.
It's not like I didn't think about it.
If you thought about it then you shouldn't have come this far.
I can't control my feelings.
If I could, I wouldn't have started, like you said.
Forget about me.
There's no way your mom will approve.
Can't you talk to her for me?
I need to see her to do that.
The two of us don't even eat together now.
You know that.
How long will you keep this up?
Your mom won't listen to me.
You talk to her.
You're sleeping already?
Mom. Let's talk.
There's only one answer. Let's not waste our energy.
Don't push me away.
You're scaring me.
Will you listen if I'm nice?
I know how you feel. You're afraid things would go wrong.
But I'm the one he'll marry.
I'll take responsibility.
I lived with an older man.
I know it's not ideal. That's why I'm stopping you.
The life you lived is different from mine.
You are not me, and Dad's not Hyeon U.
How can we be the same?
Yes, you're right.
Then ask anyone in the street.
What will they say?
Who cares what they think? It's about how I feel.
If you don't care what we or the more experienced think,
what will you do?
You're on your own.
Hello?
It's me.
I knew you'd call.
Let's meet tomorrow.
Okay, let's.
I'll go to the live music cafe.
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
Bye.
(Jeil Hospital)
(Live music cafe)
Hi.
Hello.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Wipe this drum first.
Next, wipe the floors.
I hate cleaning more than anything in the world.
Get out.
Wearing hanbok made me want to speak with manners.
There is a huge effect.
If that had some effect,
this time, be a bit more proactive.
Proactive?
I can't be there in an hour.
I thought a training center would be a bit more special.
It's not special at all.
- Where is Master Sagong? - I am Master Sagong.
We're here.
Hello and welcome.
How old are you?
I'm 45.
45?
Oh Dal Sook.
You can't go home today.
No. I won't let you go.
Not even the deities can stop us now.
