Did this woman go to America to print the money?
Why isn't she here yet?
It's almost time.
Why is...
I apologize.
The traffic's hectic, isn't it?
You can sit over here.
You should expect that if you're in Seoul.
You two were a couple.
Does she not speak Korean?
Why is she just staring at us?
No, she spoke Korean when we discussed the contract.
Then tell her to hand over the rest of the money.
Okay, so...
How dare she? I should just...
You two are quite amusing.
What is your laughter supposed to mean?
I just find you amusing.
You two live together...
and share food at a table, right?
Is that it?
Well... Yes.
Forget all that.
If you're here to pay up, just pay us and get out.
I'm already upset to have lost our precious home.
- Mr. Tak. - Yes?
When I told people that I was going to buy your house,
I was told not to buy one that belonged to those who went bankrupt.
Pardon?
Despite that, I agreed to pay the price you asked for.
Do you know that?
Oh, yes, yes.
Honey.
Can you give us the rest of the money first?
Please?
- Sure. - Thanks.
Okay then.
Here you go. Thank you.
Thanks for what? Keep quiet.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry to say this when we just met.
Excuse me.
You have a way of saying things...
that make others feel really bad.
Isn't that an inferiority complex?
I just meant that since I didn't negotiate the price down,
could you not charge the realtor's commission?
You're an agent who oversees contracts too.
That's true, but...
I have to move in today. Goodbye.
Goodbye. Thank you.
Bye.
My goodness.
Honey. Do you think I have an inferiority complex too?
I really don't like how she talks.
Let it go.
We won't have to see her again.
She has a way of offending people with just a few words.
You feel like that because we just sold the house.
Don't worry.
I'll get it back for you.
Don't worry.
Why are you looking around? Sit down.
My gosh. Why are there flowers everywhere...
in the middle of winter?
It livens up the house.
Sister and I both like flowers.
Flowers are better than an air freshener. It's nice.
- Where's Mi Rae? - At the theater, of course.
She's so busy these days.
- Are you serious? - About what?
This nonchalant act you're putting on.
Are you acting like this for me to see?
Why would I?
However hard I think, I just don't get it.
You used to want to tear Mi Rae apart whenever I mentioned her.
Why the sudden change?
Screaming won't help and neither will threatening,
so did you decide to placate me?
You still don't get me.
You bet I don't.
That's why I married you, and now we're getting divorced.
Here.
I signed it too.
Now we just have to go to court together.
Do we? When shall we go?
The sooner the better.
I need to get this sorted out,
so I can decide where to stay.
Then let's go this afternoon.
Are you serious?
Aren't you angry?
You won't yell?
Why would I be angry?
I said I'd divorce you.
Give me that. I'll keep it.
You just show up when I call.
Okay. Here you go.
Thank you.
Did you move into Mr. Tak's old home?
Do we have a guest?
She bought and moved into Mr. Tak's place.
Oh, Aunt Dal Sook's place?
Hello.
Your son's quite handsome.
Is he?
I thought he was handsome only in my eyes.
Dad.
Put this somewhere and bring some tangerines.
Okay.
Gosh, no, you don't have to give me anything.
I should.
That's not how to treat a neighbor.
Come in for some tea.
- Well... - Yes, come in.
Forget the tea, but I'll stay for a while.
Yes, sure.
Oh, well...
Dae Young.
Why come in here? Stay with her.
It feels too awkward to sit with a woman I don't know.
I'll bring the snacks. You sit with her.
Okay.
That's my family.
My grandma passed away and is no longer with us.
What a lovely family.
You seem happy.
Pardon?
You don't look like your mom. Do you look like your dad?
Pardon?
I just noticed from the photo.
- Goodness. - My goodness.
Thanks for the fruit. Goodbye.
- Congratulations on moving in. - Thanks.
Why the sour face?
She's weird.
Why?
She looks elegant and classy.
I don't like her.
Who is it?
Who are you?
Hello.
I moved in and came to say hello.
Oh, I see.
Here.
Can I have the plate back?
Sure. Come in and wait.
I'll give you the plate soon.
- Your wife's beautiful. - Pardon?
Oh, right.
Are you not her husband?
I'm her ex-husband.
Pardon?
I know it's not right to return an empty plate.
I have nothing to give.
It's fine. It looks like you're going out.
I kept you for too long.
- Goodbye. - It's okay.
- Welcome to the neighborhood. - Thanks.
Are you planning to move out?
Pardon?
It this a landfill or a living room?
Is this how you live? Without a couch?
Oh, well, we just...
She's all about dressing herself up.
She hasn't changed at all.
- Pardon? - Never mind. Goodbye.
Bye.
Gosh.
She's really something.
They're all doing fine.
They blamed me so much...
when they're doing fine.
I could've come to see you.
You sold out on your third show as well.
I should keep a tight rein on my main supplier.
I owe it all to you.
Not at all.
Our model Ms. Nam and you, Ms. Cha,
you all worked so hard.
I actually came here to make you an offer.
An offer?
Our subsidiary is...
looking for products to sell overseas.
Buyers in Japan and Southeast Asia are...
showing interest in your product.
Would you consider selling overseas?
Overseas?
- Export? - Yes.
It'll be a great opportunity if it works out.
But to be honest, I'm afraid of entering an overseas market.
Can I manage it?
I feel the same about that.
Let's discuss it with Marketing first.
Okay. I told my team...
to collect cases of other cosmetics that sold on overseas networks.
They'll take note of packaging and how they were received.
And you say you're afraid?
Do what you usually do and forget the pressure.
You have my full support.
Okay.
Oh, I'll take care of business outside and go straight home.
Do you have problems at home again?
No. It's more like a stroke of good fortune.
What?
Hurry.
Get in the car. Quick.
Why do I feel so nervous about this?
Why wouldn't you be?
You have 80,000 dollars, I have 50,000, she has 70,000.
We have 200,000 dollars in cash.
Tears keep welling up.
To think about when my dad lost his bus...
and got harassed by creditors who tore his shirt...
Dad...
Me too.
I packed my things thinking I'd be moving to Seoul,
but we got evicted and had to move...
around to semi-basement rooms with all that stuff.
I feel like crying now.
You're right. If my mom had had this money,
she wouldn't have suffered the way she did.
Not just your mom.
You'd have gone to college and had a much better life.
We got paid back and that's that.
I'm pleased to know that Bu In's...
successful enough to pay us back.
I was worried her life had gone down the drain.
Who cares what happened to that witch?
Her mom ruined our family's lives.
She should've called or written to us.
We looked so hard for her.
Exactly.
She said we'd be forever, but she betrayed us.
Just wait until I find her.
We didn't get her address.
That's a pity.
I want to grab her hair and pull it all out.
The darned Personal Information Protection Act.
We should still find her.
We know she's here, so we should do something.
Let's go home.
I skipped breakfast to come here.
Let's use this money on food?
You want to use this for food?
- A 80,000-dollar meal? - Yes.
Did you move safely?
I said I'd help out.
I just had one suitcase. It wasn't really a move.
The people nearby are all really nice.
It's very cozy.
How do you know my neighbors?
Someone I know lives there. A pupil of mine too.
Everyone's good and kind.
You shouldn't trust people easily.
They seem nice when the times are good.
Not at all.
Experiencing the hard times brings out their true colors.
When will you visit the theater?
The chairman of the board should look around.
Okay, soon.
The woman you said you love.
It's still very much one-sided.
I know. Introduce me to her first.
If I like her, I'll put in a good word to your dad.
(Kang Joon Ho, Seol Song Joo)
Director Kang, your life's tough too.
You're getting divorced again?
Do you think this is for real?
Do you think she'll really show up at court?
She signed the papers without a complaint.
You don't know her like I do.
She likes me so much.
I'm her universe and religion.
What are you that...
she'd think you're equal to God and Buddha?
Stop exaggerating.
You say that because you don't know her.
When we were dating,
she would even pretend to die if I told her to.
So why is she pretending to be okay with divorcing me?
Do you think this is another scheme?
Should I bulldoze ahead?
To have no regrets,
you should treat her better now than when you were together.
Then what should I do?
Be good to her.
Just be nice.
"I'm leaving because I love you. It's killing me."
"You'll do much better without me."
Guess what the bottom line is?
You must seem even more pitiful and pathetic than before.
But we're breaking up.
Shouldn't I leave a good impression?
What's the point in leaving a good impression?
You'll only have regrets and want her back.
Make it look like you're losing out.
Look homeless.
And beg and apologize and say you're sorry.
That's your way out.
- Hello, Ms. Seol. - Hi.
Is the director in?
Yes, go on inside.
Hi.
Did you...
Did you see clients looking like that?
Sit down.
Here. Drink this.
Why? You don't want it?
I'm really sorry.
What?
If I think about it,
no woman treated me as well as you did.
My food, my clothes, my habits.
You respected my tastes and catered to them.
Thank you.
But...
we're not a good match.
I don't think...
I can handle you.
I love you,
- so I'll leave for... - Wait.
That's enough.
So... What I'm trying to say is,
we loved each other, and I don't want to let you go...
I get it.
You're being pathetic.
Get up. Let's go to court before they close.
Hey.
Wait.
It's finally over. Shall we eat out together?
No. Why bother?
Then shall we have tea?
If you have time for tea, see one more patient.
That way you can pay back your debt to me.
I have to go. I'm meeting Dong Hyun.
Wait.
You're going to see Dong Hyun the day we applied for divorce?
Why? What for?
Don't act like an amateur.
Because I like him.
My gosh.
See you after the deliberation period.
I really don't like this.
I said I'd drive you to your front door.
Why drive into a narrow street? Turn around right here.
I'm safe now.
Keep a tight hold on your money.
I will. Bye.
See you.
Oh, my. Guys.
- Are you two okay? - Gosh.
Shake your arms and legs.
Is anything broken?
I can't turn my head.
Try turning yours.
How, like this?
It hurts. How am I to sing now?
How are you, Dal Sook?
I think my arms and legs are fine.
I threw out my back.
Oh, no, how am I to perform now?
I need to dance.
Excuse me.
If you're done making a fuss, will you look at me too?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I was busy checking on my friends.
Are you okay?
I don't usually make a big fuss of things.
Hey, yesterday, my house. Right?
Your house?
Yes. She moved into my old place.
She's Julia.
Oh, I see. Hello.
Forget about that. What'll you do now?
Just a moment.
I was backing out, and you drove in.
My car got bashed too.
Then you're responsible too.
And two of us are hurt while you're just fine.
We're neighbors now. Wouldn't it best to...
sort things out amicably?
Hey, I moved away, so I'm not her neighbor.
And I don't want to be.
Me too. I'm not a neighbor for now.
I'd rather call the police and have them sort this out.
Are you three ganging up to threaten me?
Fine, let's call the police.
Whose fault is it if you cause an accident...
while backing up without looking?
I'm really sorry.
Okay.
I'll let it go for her sake.
You were at fault this time.
I know that.
But she was really nasty when she paid us yesterday.
What about you?
Me?
Whether one of us is at fault or not,
we side with each other first.
- Right? - Right.
- Oh, dear. - My neck.
Cha Dalrae.
Sure.
You three are still close without me.
For 27 years. Yes.
What a touching friendship.
What happened, Mi Rae?
Why isn't Bu In here?
That's not the problem, Jin Ok.
I have bad news.
What do you mean?
I couldn't find Bu In,
so I asked my mom to go over.
Bu In's mom disappeared with everyone's money.
What do you mean she disappeared?
She took everyone's money and ran.
They went over to Bu In's,
but they're gone. Without a trace.
What about Bu In? Is she gone too?
The evil witch.
She did this to us and disappeared with her mom?
It's not that.
She practiced with us last night as well.
You're wrong.
She duped us. Don't you get that?
She only cares about herself.
I'll make her pay. Just wait until I find her.
What should we do now?
Let's go over there first.
Okay, let's go.
- What's that? - You're stubborn.
This?
I suddenly got some money.
What?
Someone owed my mom some money,
and I was told to collect it.
How much?
80,000 dollars.
What?
Congratulations, Mom. That's great.
I'm so pleased.
Which is why I want you to have it.
What?
Why do you want me to take it?
It's the rest of what he owes you for the store.
Now we're even.
You can pay me later.
Or you can pay me once Heo Se pays you for the store.
There's no rush.
I feel rushed.
I feel so uncomfortable knowing I owe my son-in-law money.
Mom, a son-in-law is a son too.
We can't take this money.
Take it, please. To make me feel better.
Go on, take it.
Okay then.
Sit.
Why are you moping in here? Come out and eat.
I don't feel like eating.
You just gave away...
the money you exchanged your future with.
I feel so bad about it.
Then pay me back.
When Heo Se pays for the store,
I'll spend every penny of that.
How can you say that?
Do you think I'll ask for that too?
Then it's fine.
Come and eat dinner.
I'm sorry.
Why do I keep doing things that'll make me feel bad?
Being sick made you grow up. Just say thank you.
I prefer that to an apology.
Now get up and come with me.
What album?
What album do you think?
Let's release a single with the song Woo San Gyoon gave you.
Let's not waste the song.
Let's pay off the rest of our debt first.
That will reduce so much of the interest.
The interest will shrink, but so will your dream.
Think where this came from.
It's practically your inheritance from your late father.
You should spend this money on you and you alone.
Honey, thank you so much.
Hey. You haven't left for work yet?
Not yet. I was hoping to leave with you.
I also have something to tell you.
About what?
Dae Young told me yesterday that...
you're really good at playing the janggu.
Oh, that? Well...
I played a bit when I was young.
In my day, on Jeongwol Daeboreum, villagers got together...
to play instruments and things.
Then just a little practice will get you back in form.
I haven't played one in a while, but I don't see why not.
Why? Must I play that too now?
I perform regularly as part of a charity.
The team is...
putting on a show early this year.
I wondered if you'd like to perform with us.
Perform? Me?
You have a lot of time since you sold the store.
Rather than just wander about, you can...
hang out with people, practice, and perform.
That would be better for your health.
Wouldn't I just be a nuisance?
I'm not skilled,
and I'm not at all talented either.
I never did anything for a school festival...
or fair or anything like that.
It's just a charity concert put together by ordinary people.
You'll play in a group, so there's not much pressure.
Really?
Practicing with a group will be much more fun.
Then...
- shall I give it a go? - Sure.
Hey, Hyeon U wants me to play the janggu with him.
- What? - I don't know if I can do it.
You can if you practice.
Mi Rae introduced me to her vocal coach.
He will teach you the basics.
Oh, that's great.
I might as well take lessons too.
Sure, good idea.
Come with me. I'll drop you off.
Okay.
Will I be able to manage?
You have a great sense of rhythm and are quick with your hands.
How about we play the Samche?
The Samche?
How does that go? Let's see...
I don't remember that one.
That's understandable. You played it so long ago.
I'll show you. Try to copy my beat.
Master.
Mi Rae, so...
Do you have something to say?
Okay, so Mr. Kim Bok Nam came to...
my center today with his son.
He's really good with the janggu.
Is he? That's great.
He's my best friend's husband.
Teach him well from now on.
Okay.
Why are you so hesitant? What is it this time?
It shows that I'm anxious, doesn't it?
Yes, incredibly.
What is it?
Speak freely.
Well...
Do you want to have dinner with me?
Is that what you were so hesitant to say?
Yes, kind of.
Eating together isn't a big deal.
Sure, I'm in.
Then...
is this our long-awaited third date?
It's not.
This isn't a date.
Why not?
It's only a date if the two of us spend time together.
Today, there's someone I want to introduce to you.
Who is it?
It won't be too stressful, will it?
I don't like that.
I know.
It's someone involved with our foundation.
Oh, is it?
She's a nice person.
Nothing bad will come from this meeting.
Okay. Let's go then.
Why are you drinking so much water?
- Is this person that strict? - What?
Oh, yes.
My future could be at stake here.
Why would your future be involved?
I should do all I can to impress this person then.
Over here.
- You... - You...
