Why are you so late? Is something wrong?
I was upset and slept late.
Oh, dear. You look tired.
Can you run?
Of course. I'm thirsty.
I'll have a drink first.
I'll make you pay for this.
You're spilling water everywhere.
What?
Song Joo.
Sergeant Nam? She's Sergeant Nam?
You got the wrong idea. It's not what you think.
Is it?
I caught you red-handed, and you say I got the wrong idea?
Hey, how dare you flirt with my man?
I flirted?
Me?
What are you doing?
You said this doesn't happen in New York.
Is this New York?
How dare you defend your mistress?
"Mistress"?
You called me a mistress?
Why? Do you think you're not?
Wake up.
He divorced you, and I'm his wife now.
What you're doing is cheating, and you're the other woman.
Let's go.
I can't leave like this.
If you don't, I'll scream.
Come with me if you don't want to be embarrassed.
Mi Rae.
I'm his mistress?
I will crush you.
(Episode 36)
Hey. Come and join us.
You can start.
The kids have to eat and go to work.
Yes. Join us, Mother.
Okay.
Let's eat.
Dae Young's back home, and now that...
I even have a son-in-law, I feel so proud.
It's like our family's finally back to normal.
This is a family.
It's not a family if we're scattered everywhere.
Whenever we have a problem,
we should work together to get through it.
- Right, Mr. Baek? - That's right.
Mr. Baek.
Move in with us after a while.
Pardon?
A studio apartment will be uncomfortable.
Dad, you're making us feel uncomfortable.
When Hyeon U's lease on his apartment runs out,
we'll move in.
Hey.
What if you have a baby?
Your mom will raise it for you.
Can you raise a baby while you both work?
Dad, we don't want to have a baby yet.
You can't say that if you consider Mr. Baek's age.
We don't think we must have a baby.
And even if I do have one, I won't make Mom raise it.
It's such hard work.
You'll have to hire someone to take care of the baby anyway.
You can pay your mom instead.
She's always out and about trying to earn something.
Will you stop it?
How dare you raise your voice at the table?
Dae Young's finally back from his travels.
Let's hear what Africa's like...
and talk about pleasant things.
Yes, Dae Young.
Tell us about Africa, will you?
It was my first trip abroad, so I prepared as best I could,
but when I got there, I couldn't stick to my schedule.
I had a hard time.
You dare slap Nam Mi Rae?
How should I destroy her?
No.
She's not an average witch. She's below average.
If I take her on unprepared,
she could take me down.
Wait.
What if I crush her...
and she...
takes it out on Dong Hyun instead?
How could you slap her in public?
Did you think how I'd feel?
You've been exchanging secret texts...
and meeting to jog every morning.
How are those secret text messages?
You changed your ex-wife's name to "Sergeant Nam".
I didn't change it.
She used to nag so much that I called her Sergeant Nam.
Sergeants are like that when training their subordinates.
You were in the Defense Corps.
The Defense Corps don't have sergeants.
How do you know that when you lived in the States?
It's general knowledge.
Men who served in the Defense Corps call each other sergeants...
to hide that they weren't real soldiers.
Either way, don't you dare jog with Sergeant Nam again.
Go and take a shower.
I don't even want to see the dust you shared.
If you're from New York, you'll have seen people...
get along with their exes.
Also, she and I are related with Dong Hyun.
How can I not see her?
You should understand that.
Give me your tracksuit so I can wash them.
I can't understand.
You didn't meet by chance.
And it wasn't about Dong Hyun.
How can I understand?
Yes.
I'm not Nam Mi Rae if I don't do anything.
I must find a way to get revenge...
without causing harm to Dong Hyun.
Eat all you can.
You must eat blue-colored fish three times a week.
It's to give your brain energy.
Once your stomach's ruined, it takes time to recover.
You can't eat tteokbokki now.
Mom said she won't make it for me anymore.
I stopped checking on you because of the wedding.
You're behind with your English homework.
To be honest, it's way too much.
I know that it's hard at first.
Based on experience, it's not impossible to overcome.
Let's study hard now.
Okay.
I crossed the line.
I didn't have to slap Dong Hyun's mom.
I went too far.
Yes. You're in the wrong.
I guess I felt anxious because we don't have the perfect family.
What do you mean we don't have the perfect family?
A child. Marriage isn't enough.
We need to have a baby.
That's how we'll be a perfect family.
I won't feel so anxious if I had a baby.
That's something that's out of our control.
Come to the Obgyn with me today.
The Obgyn? Why?
Gosh.
It's just for a consultation.
What's wrong with that?
We only just got married.
Let's give it time and wait.
If I just wait,
incidents like this morning will happen again.
I'm getting older.
I can't just wait.
They'll run all sort of tests if we go there.
A vet's a doctor too.
How can a doctor say that?
(Jeil Hospital)
It's not your first child, is it?
No. I have a child in middle school.
After having that child,
I see you let your guard down.
Pardon?
Is there a problem?
The test results show that...
your sperm has low motility.
It's slightly below the cut-off point.
I'd say they look like sperm from a man in his 60s.
What?
Then can he not get me pregnant?
That's not always the case.
He should get himself ready.
How can he do that?
To do it properly,
he must start 10 months before fertilization.
- 10 months before? - Yes.
No alcohol or smoking, obviously,
and no sodas or junk food.
Just a moment.
No smoking, no alcohol,
no sodas, no junk food.
Go on.
Don't wear tight clothing.
Wearing cotton clothes help.
And also,
exercise.
Walk briskly for 1 or 2 hours a day,
and sleep early and wake early.
That's about it.
What food would you recommend?
You'll have a hard time sticking to...
what I said already.
Tomatoes, chives,
black goat, kiwis,
folic acid, iron, vitamin E.
Will that help? I looked it up online.
Those foods would be good for anyone.
Still, you're the expert, so I'm asking you.
Your wife is very passionate and determined.
Yes.
Gosh.
Aren't you glad we went?
Your sperm motility's that of a 60-year-old.
That means you aren't too healthy.
Director Kang's sperm motility's that of a 60-year-old?
No way.
Illnesses always start from within.
Your insides are rotting away but you look fine on the outside.
Will you stop it? I'm not rotting away.
And it's not like I'm terminal.
The doctor said you have to prepare 10 months before fertilization.
We're already late.
Only think good thoughts and eat good things.
Let's become clean in body and mind.
Okay. Go home now.
Come home early.
I'll study what to cook for you.
I'm in my 60s?
I ate what I wanted...
and it's showing.
Cats, dogs and animals come in,
so it gets dirty easily.
Make sure to clean thoroughly.
- Okay. - Especially the treatment room.
Director Kang's always in there so be extra thorough.
Okay.
I'll have to bring another air purifier.
It's like she has mysophobia.
Did you know I was making coffee?
I can smell your coffee...
all the way from my office upstairs.
You're overreacting.
It's good to have you back.
I feel so much better that you're a few floors down.
(Clonazepam)
What's that?
It's nothing.
I had a team redo the interior yesterday.
Isn't it much bigger?
I turned it into a space to calm you down.
Use it as an office.
I told you not to touch my things.
Your things are all there.
I didn't touch them.
This is nice.
I brought these with me.
They're real beans from Kenya.
Thanks to my traveler son,
I get to drink some great coffee.
Did you move...
all the products that were here?
Some things are missing.
The woman took them.
I told her she steals.
You're back.
You come often.
Just when I mentioned her.
This isn't the smell of the beans I ordered. The fool...
Sorry.
Your manager friend calls you that...
and I keep copying him.
You can curse at me if you want. We won't meet again anyway.
He fired me.
Where did you get these beans?
It's definitely from Kenya.
It smells different. I got it.
Are these natural?
They smell unlike Kenyan beans imported in bulk.
It's precious coffee.
- Do you want some? - No thanks.
I prefer nutty coffee over sour.
Ma'am, the coffee I served last time.
How was that?
That tasted okay too.
But I can't tell the difference to this.
Those beans were slightly old.
I prefer that flavor.
Did you take the products that were here?
Yes.
You sound proud that you took them without a word.
I don't like your tone.
Do you think I'm a thief?
It's true that you took them without saying anything.
I made my own makeup my whole life.
I don't use products sold in the market.
Then why did you take them?
The first time this lady visited,
she asked me to explain things.
I said it's my first day and that I don't know anything.
Didn't I?
So I took a few leaflets to learn about them.
Here.
I wanted to see what was inside, so I took a dab.
I wrote about it...
in here and the money's here too so don't worry.
He's a bit of a nutcase so be careful.
Here's some advice.
Firing people on the spot because you're entitled?
Don't do that again.
You might not care,
but the person getting fired could feel miserable.
What's wrong with her?
She called you a nutcase.
She could think so.
I'm not exactly normal.
Are you really sick?
No. I'm low on steam and wanted to lie down.
You were wearing that when you're just low on steam?
I had a slight headache.
Where are you coming from?
I lost my showroom job.
So soon after you started?
I know.
I get why poor people with no connections...
are worth a fly's life.
I should be moaning in bed, not you.
You're worried about Bok Nam, aren't you?
I pleaded with him to be nice to me around Hyeon U.
You can't change someone.
He showed his true colors after just one day.
I was embarrassed to death.
Bok Nam must feel terrible himself.
He lost his severance pay.
What do you mean? He lost his severance pay?
You didn't know?
He didn't tell you. I see why.
What do you mean?
He was conned by an estate agent and lost everything.
He's looking for the guy with Heo Se.
Where are they now?
I don't know.
Hi, girls.
- Hello. - Bye.
Should I not have told her?
My head's aching again.
Oh, dear. My head aches.
What's wrong with you?
She failed the audition.
That's it?
Did you think you'd make it the first time?
I would have. I would have if it hadn't been for my mistake.
That's how good you are.
You still have two more shots. Stop crying.
The other girls' moms support their kids.
You just gave me three shots and did nothing else.
What should I do to support you?
Send me to dance classes and come to auditions with me.
Then I'd feel much more confident.
It would be embarrassing if Mom were to come with you.
It's not embarrassing. Why can't I come with you?
Get lessons.
I can?
Why won't he pick up?
Where's my husband?
Where is he?
He's waiting to catch the conman who took his money.
- Where? - Sit down over here.
I'll explain what happened.
Will you sit down?
Do you know...
Manager Park?
The man who caused a scene...
at your mother-in-law's wake.
He conned my husband?
No, no.
The conman is his friend.
Your husband and Manager Park...
both were conned by him.
I did what I could and found out about him.
And?
He spent the money to pay off the loan sharks...
and settle his wife's hospital bills that were in arrears,
and then...
he disappeared.
Then we can't find him?
We went to his house...
and there were just three young kids.
Their mom's...
been in hospital for three years with a kidney disease.
Even if we catch him,
if he refuses to pay up because he can't,
you can't get your money back.
Where's my husband?
He's waiting at the wife's hospital to catch the guy...
when he visits.
If you're Dad's friend,
can you tell him to come home soon?
Please?
Where's your husband?
I don't know.
Do you know what money he took?
It was the severance pay I earned for working my whole life.
I need that money to make a living.
If it all went into your medical bills,
what am I to live off of now?
I'm sorry.
Will you tell me where your husband is?
Buy your kids some food.
When your husband comes,
tell him to find me before I break his legs.
He lost all that money?
He lost all that and didn't tell me.
I can't tell if he looks down on me or has high self-esteem.
Why is everything he does such a mess?
That goes for me too.
I lost the job the fast food restaurant manager got me.
You were fired? Why?
The owner or manager guy is a bit of a nutcase.
Is he?
You shouldn't be around such people.
Who knows what he'll do to you?
I'm glad you quit.
I think so too.
But why do bad things happen all at once?
I'd take comfort if just one of the many things worked out.
I know. You and I both.
Why you too?
I got slapped in public.
By whom? Why?
Joon Ho's new wife.
Joon Ho's new wife?
Why did she slap you?
I met Joon Ho a few times while jogging by the riverside.
That woman followed him there.
What's that reaction for?
I'm off to find Bok Nam.
Hey.
You need to explain.
That woman got the wrong idea about you two.
A divorced couple remaining friends?
That's for foreigners and movies.
Most Koreans can't get their head around that.
- I'm off. - Okay.
Your husband's at home waiting for you,
and you don't get to cook for him.
I bet that he's cooking for me.
Mr. Baek's cooking dinner?
For you, at his age?
Yes.
My husband's two years younger.
He won't eat unless I set the table for him.
Younger husbands require looking after...
and older husbands get loved.
I have to go.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6...
You're back five seconds early.
You were counting?
I ran from the bus stop.
What for? What if you trip up?
I'm not a child.
This looks delicious.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
Ta-da.
My, it looks delicious.
- Can I taste it first? - Yes.
It's really nice.
Why do we crave this...
when the weather gets cold?
Maybe it's the flavor we crave.
Like we crave sweet potatoes.
You could be right.
When I said you'd be waiting for me with dinner ready,
Nurse Ahn was really jealous.
Her husband's younger.
She has to cook for him all the time.
Really?
There's no line when it comes to...
who does what at home.
Whoever comes home first or has the time can do it.
To be honest, I had this dream about married life.
What was it?
Having a husband who'll do anything for his wife.
You saw my dad this morning.
My dad...
did everything he wanted and yelled when he wanted.
Your mom must've had a tough time.
She did.
That's why I need to be good to her.
What? Is no one at home?
Why were you sitting in the dark?
Why are you glaring?
Serve me dinner.
What's this about?
Because I yelled at you in front of our son-in-law?
I'm sorry. I'll try not to do that around him.
I forgot. I'm sorry.
I bet you are. Old habits die hard.
You belittle me around the kids,
and what my friend and her husband know, I don't.
How can you look down on me until the very end?
What are you talking about?
Don't feign ignorance when you lost your severance pay!
Is that money all yours?
Part of that belongs to me.
Why did you lose it all without a word to me?
Will you stop it?
I didn't tell you on purpose.
It's not like you can help even if you know.
All you'd do is worry.
Do you think I'm upset because of the money?
Then what's the matter?
Why do you look down on me?
When you got fired from your job, then fired from the supermarket,
when allowing So Young to marry,
did you ever discuss anything with me?
This wouldn't have happened if you talked to me about your pay!
I got the point so stop it.
Once Dae Young settles down,
we'll sell this house and split up.
Not that again.
Dae Young, So Young, my severance pay.
We'd have split up hundreds of times already.
What kind of a threat is that? You always mention divorce.
Wait and find out if it's just a threat.
Hello.
Yes. I'm fine now.
I'll come over tomorrow.
I don't know.
I'm not yet sure if it's a good thing you brought me back.
You regret coming home?
The world belongs to those who take a stand,
not to those who run away.
Leaving can become a habit.
If you keep it up, even the smallest of excuses...
Dae Young, something urgent came up.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
It spreads easily and is hydrating,
but it causes some redness and stinging.
It's not ideal for those with allergies or sensitive skin.
You might need a cream that makes up for this.
Firing people on the spot because you're entitled?
Don't do that again.
You might not care,
but the person getting fired could feel miserable.
(Lady Cha Dalrae's Lover)
Mi Rae is now your teacher so do as she says.
The audition's not far off. She needs a crash course.
I can't do nothing for the rest of my life.
I should become a security guard.
If he hadn't lost his severance pay,
he'd have his own store by now.
He wanted to own a store?
