(Episode 3)
Why is the place so clean.
I must be in someone else's house.
Honey. You're home?
You had a drink?
Isn't it clean?
What are you up to?
Nothing.
I did all this.
I even did the dishes.
You wasted your time.
Why is it a waste of time?
My whole life,
I kept everything out on display.
I was like this since middle school.
My mom scolded me and hit me to clean my room...
but I just couldn't. That was my character.
Now, it's just easier to live this way.
It's uncomfortable when it's so clean.
Not uncomfortable, it makes me anxious.
It feels like I'm in another world.
Does it?
Okay then. I'll make a mess again.
Is it okay now? Do you feel more at ease now.
You wasted your time again.
What now?
It'll become a mess tomorrow anyway.
Why make a mess on purpose?
Well... Honey.
I'm sorry. Forgive me just once.
I forgave you once. That's it.
Honey.
I'm really sorry.
Never again. I won't ever...
"Never again"?
You said that once before. Don't you remember?
That was before we had Dong Hyun...
and it wasn't our first time so I let it go.
It's different now.
Mi Rae.
There's no good enough excuse.
But I'll show you that I love you...
through my actions.
Don't show me. I don't want to see.
To be honest, she's nothing compared to you.
Her face, everything.
Do you think I felt something for her?
Do men feel anything at all?
Doesn't your body dictate what you do?
You're begging me for forgiveness...
because of my face and figure.
If I were ugly and out of shape,
would you follow me around like a puppy...
rubbing your hands like a fly begging?
That woman was such a clean freak...
that I got curious, that's all.
Go and live with that clean freak.
She's suit you well.
Living with a slob like me...
will just cause you stress and cancer.
I don't care for clean freaks now. I don't mind a mess.
I can eat moldy bread and rotten...
I can drink unclean water.
Your bus has come and gone.
Can't I take a taxi then?
Honey. I'll work hard and make lots of money.
Are you actually exercising?
Dong Hyun, go to your room.
Go to bed early tonight.
I can't sleep if I'm not sleepy.
Then play games on your phone all you want.
But be sure to keep your headphones on.
What for?
Shall I take your phone?
Okay, I'll keep these in.
But promise not to hit first even if you fight.
How dare you?
Wear your headphones.
Okay.
- Get out! Go away! - Honey.
But...
Oh dear.
Did you have to go that far?
Say your husband cheated.
Could you still say that?
I wish he'd cheat.
How can you say that?
You know, men who cheat make up for it...
by being nice to their wives.
They're trying not to get caught.
Does Heo Se not treat you well?
He does treat me well but...
Talk about yourself!
I have nothing more to say.
Don't let Joon Ho slip away.
He'll finally stop nagging you and giving you a hard time.
He would.
He won't complain whatever the state your house is in.
Right.
He'll eat whatever you cook for him.
Well...
He'll bring home everything he earns.
He should.
If you gain that much from one mistake,
pretend to give in just once.
15 years is a long time to be married to someone.
It's okay to get divorced.
Mi Rae, you're going way ahead of yourself.
You're saying it's okay to split up after being with someone...
for 15 years. You can't say that.
I sense something.
Something's going on.
Nothing's going on. Don't imagine things.
Nothing's happening!
Fine then.
Why are you screaming?
I'd hesitate because I'm scared of going out into the world...
and I can't make a living for myself,
but you don't have to be.
If you can't stand him anymore, divorce isn't a bad idea.
Thanks. I was afraid that you'd disapprove too.
Gosh, it's hot.
I'm back.
Manager Park.
You heard about me then.
I heard it's hard work.
I'll start with delivering food to see if I can do it.
Have a drink.
No, no, I'm on a shift.
You are.
I'll pour you one.
I heard they got rid of you too.
You heard already?
You must know how I felt when I caused the ruckus at the wake.
I do.
I understand very well how you feel.
If I'd known, I'd have quit...
before letting any of you go.
There's something I want to ask you.
Why did you fire me of all people?
I worked for you for 10 years.
I worked really hard, you know.
That's why I was promoted quickly.
I know that.
You're very capable.
Why wouldn't I know that?
So why did you fire me?
That's why I did.
Because you're good.
Because you work so hard.
That doesn't make sense.
Everyone I worked with...
was like family to me.
What is family?
Whether they're good or bad,
you must cover for them.
I was told to pick five people.
Who would you pick if you were me?
Would you throw out someone incapable?
You're talented and you work hard.
You can survive elsewhere.
My goodness. Mr. Kim.
Look at this.
None of them want to hire me.
Don't rush. I believe in you.
I'm the problem.
Who'd hire me at my age?
To be honest,
I'm not as quick as you are.
That's why I let these people use me.
Don't say that.
I'll pour you another drink.
Gosh.
It's so dismal.
It's so dismal that...
I feel so dismal that...
I don't want to give up like this.
There is one way.
There is?
You know a few bad things the senior managing director did.
Say you'll expose him.
That's your best bet.
I won't become like him.
Come on...
If you don't like that...
The new building component we were working on.
Go with that.
If your project's selected, you can stay on for that long.
(New Construction Component Development)
(Better Outlook of Components and Durability)
Were you born in 1962, the year of the tiger?
Yes.
I worked for this company like a tiger all my life.
Does that mean you're 57 years old?
You survived quite a while.
My retirement is three years away.
Mr. Kim.
The age of retirement means nothing these days.
People in their 40s and 50s are losing jobs.
It's down to the 30s now.
Pardon?
Even people in their 30s and 40s are quitting.
I see.
Do you see what I'm getting at?
You're out of touch.
Look.
There's no way someone like you can lead this project.
I'm 99 percent sure it'll fail.
Give me one week.
I'll add to that report.
My goodness. Mr. Kim.
Will you please stop?
Do you think I feel comfortable?
You fired people yourself.
You must know how I feel.
I feel bad too.
Sir.
I worked for KG Construction with all my life.
I can say I worked harder than anyone.
Oh dear.
Mr. Kim.
Do you know why you were included in the five we fired?
Right now,
no one can survive just by working hard with all your life.
What we need now is insight and creativity.
Your era is over.
Make way for your juniors...
and exit the stage gracefully.
How can he lead a project without his best workers?
Did he really think it stands a chance?
That's why he took it to the director.
He wants to stay on...
and become a director himself.
Him, a director?
That was the bait to make him fire people.
General Manager Kim's done for.
You bet he is.
(Materials supplied to Jo Joong Il's villa)
See you in court.
Doctor.
Should I not have called?
What if they get divorced?
Come on, baby, why don't we paint the town?
And all that jazz
I'm going to rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
Start the car, I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold but the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz
I was crazy to cheat on someone so amazing.
Bravo.
Hello.
When did you arrive?
- I watched from the start. - That's...
Shall we go?
What shall we do today?
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Hey! Nam Mi Rae!
I should just...
(Jeil Hospital)
Why are all the curtains drawn?
Don't you feel stuffy?
Mr. Kim Doo Sik?
Over here.
Hello, pretty lady. Come over here.
Come on, get over here.
Okay.
Help me put this on.
Do the buttons as well.
You smell nice.
What shampoo do you use?
Nice body.
What's this?
What are you doing?
You look like you wore many silver bracelets in your time.
How about an electronic anklet? Do you want one of those?
What's wrong?
Is she yours or something?
Yes, she's mine.
Nurses protect patients...
and help with their recovery.
They don't exist for people like you to abuse.
Remember that.
Okay, okay, please let this go.
Ms. Kim.
- I'll give him the shot. - What?
Okay.
You'll make sure it hurts.
That's up to me.
Lie face down.
(Head Nurse, Baek Hyeon U)
People still have one of these in this day and age?
I think I was in middle school when my mom said...
a woman should have a sewing kit and handkerchief.
So I started carrying one around out of habit.
Did you play a sport or work out?
A bit, in the past.
It wasn't just a bit.
The thug actually gave in.
Weren't you scared?
Of course I was, why wouldn't I be?
I'm still scared.
It's done.
Is it?
You did a good job.
Thanks a lot.
If you're really grateful, treat me to a nice meal.
Do you fear me...
more than the thug you subdued?
(Jeil Hospital)
Was Nurse Baek a thug back in the day?
He subdued this really mean guy with one hand.
He does all the heavy lifting, he brags about his strength,
and he cures heart problems.
He does everything around here.
He cures heart problems too?
It's a secret but they say he plays the saxophone well.
- The saxophone? - Yes.
Him and his friends...
play for kids with heart diseases.
Really?
Why is he still single?
He wasn't able to get married.
His mother was in hospital for 12 years.
He couldn't leave her and get married.
What's wrong?
Is she yours or something?
Yes, she's mine.
So Young. So Young.
- What? - What were you thinking about?
What should I do, Mom?
I think...
Never mind.
What is it?
It's nothing. I'll tell you next time.
Why did you call me?
I can't reach Dae Young. His phone's off.
He must be studying.
Call the dorm tomorrow.
Leave a message.
Then he'll call, I guess.
I should do that.
(Family Court)
- Mr. Kang Joon Ho. - Yes.
Korea is a monogamous society.
You promised to stay with your wife until death.
You should keep your promise. Why do this to her?
Do you know how many things a housewife does at home?
Do you know how hard housework is?
Mr. Kang, you're clearly responsible for breaking this family apart.
Give your wife 30,000 dollars in alimony,
and 1,000 dollars a month for childcare other than tuition...
Excuse me.
Just a moment.
Would you like to speak one last time?
Will you have a look at this?
Did you all watch Gayo Top 10?
- Yes. - Shin Seung Hoon's number one.
- I saw it too. - He's dreamy.
Hi.
I haven't seen you in a while.
Are you still in the band?
Yes. I heard you quit yours.
Yes. To go to university.
See you around.
- Bye. - See you.
I really hope you get into university.
I'll pray for you.
This is crazy.
I knew there was something else.
You're really something.
How could you deceive us too?
You embarrassed us both too.
What should we do with your flirty ways?
He must be married.
He got divorced.
How long have you been seeing him?
For a while.
For how long? Be exact.
About six months.
We met by chance in Insa-dong and he...
It's not by chance.
You called him first, you brat.
I did not, I swear.
Fine, I called him first.
Didn't you want to see him too?
- I did not. - I did not.
You liked him too. Weren't you curious?
Mi Rae.
Just because we're curious,
we don't all go and call and meet them.
You're shaming everyone.
People like you are the reason women have a bad name.
That's a bit harsh.
Mi Rae. Because of you, we lost a precious memory today.
Like you said, we all liked him so much.
He was our idol and dream.
And you ruined that in one go.
You turned him into a cheap cheater.
A cheap what?
What'll you do if I end up marrying him?
What, marriage? Did he propose?
Would she have gone to court if he hadn't proposed?
You really are something.
Are you determined to go all out this time?
Too bad for you.
I think you placed a poor bet.
What do you mean?
It looks like...
you'll lose the alimony and kid and get kicked out.
That's right. You provided the initial cause of strife.
You're useless at home.
You can't cook, clean or do the laundry.
I can't let that happen.
(Free Legal Counsel)
My gosh. You startled me.
Make some noise.
I did.
You were too engrossed to hear me.
Will you really get divorced?
Leave me alone and play with the dogs.
(Tak's Real Estate)
To what do I owe this call, Ms. Ji Hwa Ja?
Yes.
I heard talk that you're interested in...
running for chair of our council.
Yes, sure, let's meet up.
We should meet often...
if the people of our district are to live in peace.
Yes, sure. Bye.
- Heo Se. - Joon Ho.
Hello.
- Sit down. - Thanks.
You like canned beer.
How much do apartments cost these days?
Don't even ask.
Prices have plummeted and people aren't buying.
Real estate agents are starving.
We're barely making a living.
Why? Do you want to buy?
No. I want to sell.
Why? Are you moving?
I might have to.
You might have to?
You say we're friends but you don't treat me like one.
I'm going to get divorced.
Are you?
You should if you're not a good match.
But don't sell your current apartment.
House prices have dropped too much.
If you sell that and give her half,
you can barely rent a place.
Really?
House prices always fluctuate.
It'll go up one day.
Don't sell just yet. Wait and bide your time.
No. Sell it for me.
I can't live with her any longer.
What's wrong?
I want to be treated like a husband.
Ho.
You can't come here.
It's okay now.
I am free.
Hey.
There's no need to tiptoe around. I'm free.
Hold this and pretend to be a customer.
Come on.
What do you mean you're free? Did you get divorced?
Yes.
Is it that easy to get divorced?
It's just been a few days.
To be exact, it'll take a few days.
To be more exact, we caught each other cheating,
so we decided to call it quits.
You caught each other?
- Does he know about us? - Yes.
There are photos of us going in and out of hotels and motels.
There are photos?
Yes.
If my husband wants to,
he can sue you for damages.
Oh no.
Don't worry.
I sorted it out so that he can't even raise a finger against you.
What did you do?
He cheated on me too.
We're on equal grounds.
We agreed not to take things further.
Hey.
Divorce isn't like a game of cards.
Why are you so upset?
I did it for you, Ho.
Until the papers are signed...
and the judge bangs the wooden hammer three times,
you aren't free.
It'll be over once the deliberation period is over.
- Mi Rae. - Yes, Ho?
Don't...
get divorced.
What do you mean?
The fortune-teller read mine and said there's wind everywhere.
I'm not destined to stay put.
If I stay in one place, I get sick.
I'm sorry.
You said you wanted to live with me.
I said I wanted to.
Did I say we should?
No.
I already went too far with my husband.
Are you stupid?
A man said some sweet nothings...
and you got divorced over that?
Don't say that.
Mi Rae.
Here's some advice as a parting gift.
When you meet a man, don't think too highly of him.
Men are low, cruel and crude.
They just want to get underneath your skirt when they can.
Are you afraid because I suddenly said I'm getting divorced?
I heard a lot of men are like that.
- Don't be scared. - Mi Rae.
You're no longer young and immature.
Get a grip.
Will you stop it?
We even went to court!
I know! So go back there and take it all back!
My marriage is all broken.
Then stick it back together.
Sprinkle sugar over it. You deal with it.
Sorry.
You're just scared.
Let's talk some other day.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
A cornered rat is really fighting back.
Only the writer survives.
Who dumped you?
Are you something that can be dumped?
Hey!
It's nice to be free. We don't have to care about others.
Don't just study your patients.
Study about women too.
You need to fight it out to reach a conclusion.
