Is something wrong?
EPISODE 14
It's been a while.
Thank you.
Were you on your way somewhere yesterday?
Home. I stopped by the book store.
How was golf on Saturday?
Good.
What you said that day wasn't a joke, was it?
-Of course not. -I was a bit surprised.
If you're not busy, can you buy me a latte?
Do you know Café Deung?
Coffee always tastes good.
No wonder it's addictive.
We can't help but have them in our line of work.
Why do you think I got a divorce?
As if you'd actually answer.
They all say it's because they have nothing in common.
That's only true for celebrities.
My husband dumped me.
He fell for another woman, so what else could it be?
Did he ask for the divorce?
No. He wanted me to forgive him and move on,
but I couldn't.
Should I have?
Time will only tell if you've made the right choice.
Taking action can sometimes give you the best result
while sometimes it doesn't.
You seemed all right that day.
At the golf club, I mean.
It was nice to see you be open about it.
I'm probably at ease since I didn't cause the divorce.
Being the victim could lead to more anger at times.
-It wasn't easy. -Of course it's not.
Why are men like that?
Why can't they be loyal and keep their promises?
Is that so hard to do?
I wouldn't know.
I don't understand people who break their promises.
What about your friends? The ones who are married.
About a third are divorced.
-For what reason? -Personality differences.
I should hear both sides of the story,
but some say they had no chance because their wives weren't up to par.
There are many reasons,
just like how there's a reason behind every death.
Has anyone switched partners?
-Two. -How are they?
One of them is living a good life
while another had to try four times.
-He married four times? -Yes.
How can someone marry four times?
Once is stressful enough.
From what I can tell, only the first divorce is the hardest.
Do you envy them as a man yourself?
Of course not.
Life should be simple especially in this hectic world.
How's Ji-a?
Goodness. Do you remember her name?
It's not like I have dementia. Of course I remember.
She's in my care, of course.
I was sitting on the fence because of her.
You wouldn't know since you're not married,
but trust is the most important thing between a married couple.
It is for any relationship.
Where will you go from here then?
-Forget I asked. -Are you headed home then?
Yes.
Do you cook for yourself?
Only on rare occasions.
I order in or eat at a restaurant near home.
You eat just about anything apart from caviar.
That's right. So how did you send your mother off?
-My mom? -Was there a burial?
Yes, she was laid to rest beside my father.
What about you?
Do you know what I regret the most?
My mother wanted to have her ashes scattered in the water,
so that's what I did.
I regret it though.
Cremating her or scattering her ashes in water?
Both.
I should have buried her ashes below a tree or kept it someplace.
Did your mother appear in your dream?
-No. -Then she's resting in peace.
My mom visited me in my dream many times and said she was cold.
Goodness.
But her ashes are already gone.
Oh, dear.
-What about memorial services? -I hold a small one every year.
Parents are meant to sacrifice and children are born to regret.
And I do a lot of that.
I'm no better.
You seem like a good daughter.
Most daughters are good to their mothers.
I know, but it's a long story though.
Us brats should grab a drink sometime then.
Sure.
MADAM HONG
I should take this.
Sure.
Where the hell were you all day?
I had a meeting.
All day?
I also worked out.
Mother, put up your hands like this.
Come on.
You've got to be kidding me.
Are you playing games with me?
You should try boxing too.
It's a great exercise.
Save it for yourself.
Mop the floors and then help with dinner.
Sure.
Isn't the housekeeper here?
-I hear you hire help. -Money doesn't grow on trees.
Why do we need one when there are two women in the house?
Of course. You're absolutely right.
Is she an idiot?
Sa Pi-young, you foolish girl.
You let some idiot replace you.
-Maybe she's not home. -Didn't you call her?
I had no time for that today.
She might be washing. Call her.
Don't you know the combination?
Hello?
Aren't you home?
I'm out to buy some twisted doughnuts.
Twisted doughnuts?
Yes, I had a sudden craving.
Where are you? Someplace far?
I'm behind Gangnam Sauna on foot.
I'll be right there.
You'll come to me?
Are you at my place?
You crave everything and anything when you're pregnant.
I remember you craving pheasant dumplings
when you had Sa-hyeon.
That was with our eldest, not him.
Was it our eldest?
Anyway, we couldn't kill since it'd be bad luck,
so I went through hoops to buy pheasant meat.
I can't believe you remember all that.
Are you upset? What's with the long face?
Just imagine all the cravings she would have had. I wasn't there for her.
I told her to call us anytime.
If only we had lived closer by.
Even today, she went out to get some herself.
You have the last month to make up for it.
Of course. It's your heart that matters.
There's a big difference between helping reluctantly
and doing so because you want to.
What was that word again? It starts with a Q.
Right.
Quality is what matters.
Don't scoop the rice. It'll get cold.
We should have dinner.
Don't you have any common courtesy? The head of the household isn't home.
Yu-sin will be late.
-He's running late? -Yes.
Why didn't you tell me though?
Team dinners aren't important enough to mention.
Then I wouldn't have made all this.
You and I need to eat though. Should we starve instead?
As Ji-a says, you're super annoying.
Why go to these lengths then?
My grandma said that eating well gives you a glow.
Who the hell do you think you are?
-Me? -You keep talking back…
How could you not tell me when you saw me making all this food?
I thought you knew.
SHOULD I JUST SLAM HER TO THE FLOOR
AND FLATTEN HER LIKE A GUTTED SQUID?
You eat this much, right?
Get in!
Father, the shop's right over there.
-Welcome. -Gosh, it smells incredible.
This is unbelievable.
Do you like snacks like these?
I'm just like everyone else.
Those are twisted doughnuts and those are spicy corn dogs.
Honey, it's the doughnuts you love.
Do you like doughnuts, Mother?
Those with red beans inside.
The cheese doughnuts are good too.
-We'll take a few of everything. -Sure.
They use glutinous rice.
-Glutinous rice? -Yes.
Go ahead and eat one.
Just watching you has our mouth-watering.
Is it good?
-I feel so much better. -Is there a decent restaurant nearby?
We should have them while they're hot.
Here you go.
Thank you.
We'll order bossam and three bowls of makguksu. Make one of them spicy.
We'll share.
-Right away. -Let's see.
We'll have the noodles when they get here.
We didn't even have a proper lunch today.
-Goodness. -We had the final payment to make.
Hye-ryung's moving the day after tomorrow and they've filed their papers.
This is really good.
This too.
How about another?
I'll have it for dessert.
Isn't it good?
This isn't like the twisted doughnuts I've had before.
Mother, your galbijjim is the best
as are the other food.
Did I cook for hours just to feed this bitch?
Some enjoy food made by others
while some like to cook themselves.
I guess you'd rather have others cook for you.
Just eat quietly.
Sure.
I get so hungry after a workout.
Are you finished already?
Are you perhaps feeling under the weather?
I feel much better now that my stomach's full.
You should stay with us.
For what?
What do you mean? It's better than her being alone.
We have a yard big enough for walks, so you won't have to go out.
I can look after you, and we've already told his brother.
She should move into my house since it's safe there.
-And our house is a hazard? -Her due date could be pushed up
and her ob-gyn is close by.
I guess he's right.
Why don't you two stay at my place?
-You should. -You want us to live together?
There are three rooms.
It'll take a month for the papers to be finalized.
We can have the wedding later,
but I want her to have the baby while we're around.
Of course. That's how it should be.
Shouldn't you at least take a photo to celebrate?
Of course they should.
At the thought of you
I toss and turn in my sleep
A smile spreads over my face at the thought of you
And that gets me through the day
At the thought of you
I only await this day
There was something
I wanted to say in your presence
So I held back and endured the wait
Everyone in this world
May call me a fool
But it's all right
Because
I love
You
-Hey, Madam Hong. -What time do you get off work?
I already am.
-Han-seung wants to meet up. -I have plans.
With whom? I doubt it's a woman.
Why not?
I'll eat my hat if that's true.
Put it in writing that you'll eat your hat.
Got it.
Hello?
Where are you? I'll feed you the hat myself.
Who was that?
Don't change the subject.
Bring her with you. Drinks will definitely be on me today.
-I'll call you back later then. -Bring her!
Why Madam Hong?
His name is Do-dam and he's extremely talkative.
It's been his nickname since high school.
-You should get going then. -They gather to drink and talk nonsense.
It's been a while.
He's a fan.
This is Professor Park Hae-ryun, my fiancé.
I see.
It's your last week, isn't it?
Yes.
-You did great. -Thank you.
Goodbye.
Let me know in advance if you're eating out for dinner.
Sending a message is not difficult.
But I did.
I mean, to me.
I cooked all sorts of dishes
only to hear you were eating out.
Mother, you should put this on.
It's for your eyes and mouth. Your neck too.
Should I do it for you?
You don't have deep wrinkles, but the shallow ones must bother you.
It's common at your age though.
How dare you!
I just wanted to help you look young.
This is a great product.
How dare she call me old in front of Yu-sin.
Should we pack the dishes in that cupboard too?
Yes, please.
You can pack all of those too.
-Please have this while you work. -Thanks.
DONG-MA
-Hello? -It's me.
I'm at your apartment complex.
-Can't you come out? -I'm outside.
You sound like you just woke up
and your car's here. Should I come to you instead?
-What's this about? -I want to talk.
I'll be at Sagye.
-One Americano, please. -Sure.
It's not like you to order coffee.
You know, right?
That's the style I like.
Messy hair and clothes you can fall asleep in.
What's going on?
How are your parents?
I dropped by because you seemed upset the other day
and to say I enjoyed your performance.
-You always deliver. -They passed away.
Both of them.
When?
Was it yesterday?
But I can't fly out to their funeral
because I'm the sole lead of the show.
My dad…
fell down while playing tennis
and fractured his collarbone.
That's why I pushed back the wedding.
My mom was driving him back from the hospital
after taking off his cast when…
Your dad's younger brother lives close by, right?
I'll send an employee from our branch in Germany.
-I still can't believe it. -When did you last see them?
Last fall.
You can't fall apart.
Stay strong.
How did you still manage to perform last night?
Your parents…
were probably there to see you.
I'm sure they were.
Bada. Live a long, healthy life, okay?
Hye-ryung wants to buy us dinner tomorrow.
But I was going to do that.
It doesn't matter who does. We should still have one last meal.
She has a new name now. It's Bada.
What for? It's not like she knows.
She's a smart one, so she'll catch on soon.
Dogs take after their owners.
Isn't that right, Bada?
There you go.
How's the house? Is it in a pleasant spot?
Yes, I slept well.
That was probably because you were exhausted.
I can't believe things happened so fast.
We used to be family after all…
Tell me about it.
I was truly happy on my wedding day, you know.
We're sorry about what happened.
Catholicism teaches us that we have no one to blame but ourselves.
I will just accept things as they are.
You must have been an angel in your past life,
which is why you were born so beautiful.
That must mean you were an angel too.
Sa-hyeon as well.
I guess only I was a menace.
That's ridiculous. You're nothing but masculine.
-An alpha male. -Exactly.
An alpha male?
Anyway, I'm relieved that we can part ways
with smiles on our faces.
Are you never going to see me again?
That's not what I meant. We're technically not a family anymore.
Once a family, always a family.
Of course.
That's why I asked him to let me see the baby once it's born.
Right. You should stay friends.
In foreign TV shows, you see divorced couples stay friends.
With no hard feelings.
Sa-hyeon, let's do that.
Although I don't regret it, I've given it some thought.
Maybe I should have had a baby right after the marriage.
That would have been nice.
That was foolish of me.
You had a different view of life. You can't call yourself a fool.
Anyway, I'm grateful for the generosity you showed me.
I should've cooked a meal for you myself.
Nonsense. All that matters is that we've had this gathering.
Of course.
Can I still visit you in Daejeon from time to time
as if you were my Mom and Dad, and not in-laws?
Of course. Come by whenever you go golfing.
And tell me what you'd like to eat.
Yes, Mother.
That's great. Congratulations.
You too.
The wedding will happen in no time.
Yes.
What about Ga-bin though?
I can't think of anything to say.
Same here.
Why don't we just go to her final performance?
I have a meeting with the publishing agency that day.
Thank you for dinner.
Don't mention it. Have a safe trip to Daejeon.
Sure.
Mother, I'll text you from time to time.
Sure thing.
Thank you.
Have a good life.
You too.
They say you need to spend time with people to know them.
Hye-ryung's proof of that.
Tell me about it.
She ended it all with a smile on her face.
She was an angel in disguise.
This is why people should be generous.
Because you did everything she asked for,
things ended amicably.
I hope she finds someone nice.
Of course she will. She's still quite young.
Although, people will gossip for a while.
What will she say when people ask her about the divorce?
What celebrities always say.
"We had nothing in common,
but we've decided to stay as friends."
-Hello? -Mr. Seo.
Are you already home?
Yes, I just got back.
-What's this about? -How about a cocktail?
I'm buying.
Where did you get this money?
Mom.
-Yes? -We need to talk.
It's from Dad.
Did you see him without telling us?
Three times.
-What did he say? -He misses me and wants to know
how I'm doing.
-Did he tell you to keep it a secret? -I just thought that I should.
When did you last see him?
About a month ago.
Are you a saint or just stupid?
He's still our dad.
And we're his children.
And look what he did to us.
The bartender's cool, isn't she?
You should try a sip of this too.
-It's good. -Isn't it sweet?
-Only a little. -Then I'll pass.
I'd like to be comforted with a touch of sweetness today.
I moved out, you see.

I'd like to be comforted with a touch of sweetness today.
I moved out, you see.
What did you think of my husband when you saw him?
He was charming.
A woman was drawn to him because of that charm
and she got knocked up on purpose.
My husband fell for her antics and requested a divorce.
I agreed.
What do you think of that?
It's nonsensical.
That's what I thought too.
It's not my place to ask, but does he really love this woman?
Or is it because of the baby?
Both, I guess.
My pride is wounded
and it hurts, honestly speaking.
You should meet someone better.
That'll heal your heart.
AND THAT SOMEONE IS YOU
I don't know. I've lost confidence now.
In yourself? Or have you lost trust in men?
I've lost confidence in myself.
We all have our ups and downs in life, right?
Things might get better for you.
Like the actress Oh Yu-rim.
Marrying the eldest son of SF Electronics' CEO
would be the most thrilling payback.
This could just be temporary. He might come back to you.
-But there's a baby now. -Kids don't keep people from divorcing.
My father divorced my mother after they had me too.
How old were you?
I was in my teens.
It must have been tough for you.
Was it amicable?
I said goodbye with a smile on my face.
There's no need to end a chapter with a frown. Easier said than done though.
-You have a suitcase, right? -Yes.
That should be reserved for valuables.
But it's nighttime.
You don't want to leave anything out
and things will be hectic tomorrow. Just say the word.
You're wearing yourself out. It was already a moving day for you.
-I didn't do any work. -You should rest at night.
It won't wear me out.
You're overestimating yourself. Take it back.
There.
Maybe you were right not to get married.
Do you regret it?
No. In a few years, you might be glad that you had that divorce.
Right.
I'm not going to regret my marriage or my divorce though.
They're all valuable life lessons.
Any experience that you have in life can be put to good use.
How long does it take for divorces to be finalized?
A month if there's no child.
Once it's over, reporters will get wind of it.
I know you're close to Ms. Sa and Ms. Lee, but I'm also your teammate.
Call me if you need any help.
The conversation we had tonight has already helped me alot.
I'm feeling a lot better now.
Keeping it bottled inside ate away at me, you see.
Does Ms. Sa know?
I told her and Ms. Lee a few days ago.
-What did they say? -That's a story for another time.
HE SHOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT MS. SA'S DIVORCE UNTIL MUCH LATER
You should head back then. Thank you for today.
I didn't want to go home to an empty house.
I hate it too, but it's not so bad sometimes.
When?
After exhausting social gatherings.
They wear you down and it's tiring to listen to others.
-I'd rather just head home. -Maybe that's how you feel about today.
Of course not.
-My younger brother's visiting. -Gosh, I didn't know you had one.
Didn't Ms. Sa tell you?
We ran into her at the golf club last Saturday.
Things have been hectic for me due to the divorce and all.
Did you drive here?
What about you? My manager will be picking me up.
Plate number 7120, please.
Here's for two. 7120 and 6850, please.
Is she on her way?
Yes, there she is.
Hello.
I'll take pistachio,
chocolate, and strawberry.
Got it.
So you've been singing…
Off to bed.
But I'm not sleepy.
If you keep sleeping late, it'll become a habit.
It's Dad!
Mom, it's Dad.
-Dad! -Hey.
I'm glad my princess is still awake.
I bought gelato.
-Dad, I see you drank. -Only a little.
-You should've called first. -I suddenly missed her.
Mom, let's have some before it melts.
Right now? But it's bedtime.
I didn't have a big dinner.
Gelato's fine.
Mom, make sure to serve it in a pretty ice cream bowl.
Got it.
Can I get some too?
Of course you can.
I'm growing fonder of pistachio just like you, Mom.
Text me anytime you want them. I'll get you more.
Have you been good?
-Yes. -You're not going to ask how I'm doing?
-They all say I look gaunt. -It's better than being chubby.
She's not wrong.
How have you been? I bet school life hasn't been easy.
Why aren't you eating? It'll melt.
Well, I'm only here to see my two princesses.
Mom's more like a queen.
To me, she's also a princess.
You're giving me goosebumps.
I'll turn into a goose because of you.
Your driver must be waiting.
-I sent him off. -Then call another.
It's her bedtime.
Right.
Is that honey water?
Yes.
Have a seat.
When an elder asks you to sit, you answer first.
Don't sit without saying anything.
-Sure. -Call to see if he's on his way home.
The phone is turned off. Your call will be directed to…
His phone is off.
A lot of married couples get back together after getting a divorce.
It's not like they broke it off because they fell out of love.
They got along famously.
-I know. -What do you know about men?
There are only two reasons why men cheat on their wives.
Because they're fed up with their wives
or out of curiosity. Just for fun.
He didn't date me just for fun.
-He loves me. -Did he actually tell you that?
-Yes. -As if he meant it.
He could have been lying.
You probably know him well since you raised him.
Yu-sin's not like that. I wouldn't have fallen for him if he were.
A friend of mine got remarried, you see.
After signing the divorce papers though,
her husband's ex-wife became the mistress.
He married my friend, but he got caught seeing his ex-wife behind her back.
My friend, who was disgusted, left him after that.
Who is he with again?
I didn't ask him.
If he's not wasted, it means he was with Ji-a's mom.
He wouldn't lie about things like that.
He even took Ji-a swimming a few days ago.
Want to bet on it?
He may have been drawn to you because you're new,
but women are pretty much the same after some time passes.
Just like how we all look different,
we're all charming in different ways.
What do you think makes you charming? Your youth?
Your pretty face?
Ji-a's mom was way prettier at your age. And she's still stunning.
Socrates said we should know ourselves.
And he didn't mean it in the literal sense.
Having lived all those years, I think I finally know what he meant.
Socrates…
I'm certain he was a spiritual man and not just a philosopher.
Most people don't know about themselves.
A gifted person knowing that he's gifted isn't a shame,
but even those that aren't think they are.
-That's the problem. -So I'm not good enough?
What would people say if they knew that you were living here?
What about your parents in the US? Don't you have younger siblings?
Would they be proud of what you're doing?
-You-- -"Mother".
Mother, do you think you're admirable?
I majored in nursing
and lived as the wife of a hospital director for 30 years.
Technically though,
you're only his second wife.
That's still way above a mistress.
I was Dr. Shin's official wife whom he married.
Meanwhile, you're only a mistress.
On paper, Ji-a's mom is still his wife.
So how about that bet?
With one phone call, we'll know if he went to Ji-a's mom--
-Go ahead. -Well,
we can't bet money.
I'd like that necklace.
I'll bet my new purse.
Hello?
-It's me. -Yes?
Did Yu-sin perhaps stop by today?
He did.
I see.
Is that what you called to ask?
He's running late, so I got worried.
I see. Good night then.
Sure.
You know what wake-up calls are, right?
This will end in tears for you, so get out of that bubble.
You're too naive so you don't know how men really are.
It's not like you know Yu-sin inside and out.
You weren't even aware of our affair.
Married couples have their own secrets
and that's how Yu-sin and I are.
Just hand me that purse of yours.
Why are you so late? You don't even seem drunk.
I stopped by Ji-a's.
-Is that ice cream? -Gelato.
I already had some.
-What for? -I went to see my daughter.
You don't like eating cold things, right?
Are you saying I shouldn't eat?
Here you go.
It's great. What is it?
That's blended yogurt, banana, and avocado.
I see.
Maybe I should just stay the night.
Bada, that sounds better, doesn't it?
-Gosh. -What are you trying to say?
-You should sleep in your own bed. -I've never stayed the night here.
My feet and heart won't let me leave you.
Yet, your feet moved.
Push me again.
Hey, that's not fair.
You have no idea how I hated leaving you home all alone.
-Is that so? -It's just so cozy here.
I wanted to stay even more when we had wine.
Don't you want me to stay?
Be honest with me.
No, wait. I can't.
I have no change of clothes.
-Can I sleep naked? -No way.
But the lights will be off.
I don't necessarily have to share your bed. I'll sleep on the couch.
There's no need for us to stay apart anymore.
I just can't leave you here alone.
I'll drop the boxes off at home early in the morning
and change into comfortable clothes.
You won't feel refreshed if you don't sleep in a comfortable bed.
Wait. Your maternity clothes.
There was plenty of dry ice so it shouldn't have melted.
Yes.
Yu-sin, can't you come with me to Ga-bin's show?
You've already been though.
Both her parents passed away, you see.
In a car accident.
Aren't I sexy?
You're adorable. Especially in my eyes.
I have the biggest heart too.
I know.
Where are you off to?
-To get some melons. -Why?
Aren't you thirsty? You worked all night.
I'm not. Here.
Besides, I'll get it myself if I want some.
I'll go get a pillow.
As if I need one. I don't.
Do you sleep without a pillow?
Come on.
But my head's heavy.
It's not.
How do you feel?
For me, it's like I'm dreaming. But it shouldn't be one at all.
Can you pinch me?
It doesn't hurt, so it must be a dream.
I must be dreaming.
I guess I'm not.
What if you're not here when I wake up tomorrow?
That might happen.
I'll probably be making our first breakfast together for you.
That's absurd. I can't make a guest cook.
-A guest? -That's what you are for now.
Those words hurt your baby daddy's heart.
How about we have the wedding on our baby's 100th day anniversary?
Maybe.
We'll discuss it with your parents first.
A 100th day party for Bada in the day
and our wedding in the evening.
We'll ask your parents.
Would a month be enough for you to recover?
-You should go to sleep. -Why do you want me to?
What are you planning on doing after I doze off?
There's no reason. I'm just worried you might be tired.
I'm not tired at all. I couldn't be more alert right now.
Being with you washed away the exhaustion.
How can your company alone make me this happy?
That's how it is when you're with someone you like.
Is that the case for you too?
Could you brush my hair too?
That feels amazing.
-Are you feeling sleepy? -Maybe.
I can help you sleep like this every night.
Me too.
We can do it for each other.
I bet it's hard for you whether you're seated or lying down.
I'm dying to meet our child,
so I hope you give birth soon.
It's okay to give birth 15 days earlier.
Fate decides when we're born anyway.
What if I wake you with my frequent trips to the bathroom?
I'm aware of it. The book says the baby pushes on your bladder.
When did you get around to reading a book?
I had to make time.
I may not have been with you, but I was still worried.
I always sleep like a log, you know.
You're really handsome.
Is that a joke or do you really mean it?
I mean it. I truly do.
You too.
You're the epitome of an Asian beauty
but you're also sexy.
I'm not sexy at all.
That night in Gangneung taught me otherwise.
But I was serious that day.
I know. I could tell with every fiber in me.
There's that song.
It snows from the sky
Because our love is that beautiful
It must be a gift from the sky
For you and me
Do you know this song?
The love we have for one another
and the longing we felt.
The sky must have noticed.
Bada, who do you take after?
Your mom or your dad?
Aren't you happy to hear my voice again?
Wait, did it just kick?
It answered you and said that it's happy.
For the first time in a while, I head to the gym
Boy, do I look fine on the treadmill
I run like there's no tomorrow
And that's when I spotted you
You in the short shorts
Your long straight hair is tied back Your lips are tightly pressed together
Whenever you lift the weights
I'm touched with your grace
Humming to a song coming from your earphones
Sir.
Could I hold a press conference tomorrow?
Get me some coffee. One for the makeup artist too.
Sure.
Hello.
I want a natural look today.
BOO HYE-RYUNG PRESS CONFERENCE
Hi there.
-Do you like gatkimchi? -Of course.
There's juice and also club soda.
No, I'm good.
He has an errand to run.
Side dishes are a nuisance to make. You didn't need to make this much.
As if this is a lot. It's only the basics.
I have help anyway.
I'll help too once I'm done recovering.
I should learn your recipes.
There's no need to help, so visit often with the baby.
When will you and Father come to stay with us?
You two enjoy your time together first. We're in no rush.
It'll be even better with you two. Double the joy.
Gosh, that looks delicious.
I want to have that for lunch today.
Sure. It'll cleanse your palate.
My bride, you're a bonafide a Chungcheong-native now.
How can you call me your bride at this age?
As if you're any old.
In my eyes, you're still my young, beautiful bride.
She'll say you're being silly.
He's not wrong though.
Not many women are as fair as you.
-Right? -Of course.
Was it her beauty that you fell for?
Like you have to ask.
BOO HYE-RYUNG PRESS CONFERENCE
BOO HYE-RYUNG
Hello, I see some familiar faces here today.
Anyway, it saddens me
to deliver the news that isn't all that pleasant.
I got a divorce.
-When? -Fairly recently.
Why? Is it because you have nothing in common?
Is there perhaps another reason?
My husband requested a divorce and I agreed.
STAR DJ BOO HYE-RYUNG ANNOUNCES DIVORCE
Your husband requested the divorce?
-Yes. -For what reason?
He met someone new.
So he had an affair?
-Who's the other woman? -It's…
not my place to disclose that.
You were married for three years, right?
Yes.
I know this is hard, but please tell us how you're feeling.
It's just like you said.
Honestly speaking, it's been hard for me.
So you calmly agreed to the divorce request.
I had no other option.
You could have held out.
How could I when he loves her?
Look after her.
I'm sorry for asking, but what about the alimony?
I just took what they offered.
Your husband is known to be younger than you.
-By a year. -How old is the other woman?
-That I don't know-- -Aren't you being too nice?
As a woman myself, I'd like to keep her privacy.
But she's the woman who stole your husband. Must you be considerate?
She's pregnant, you see.
BOO HYE-RYUNG'S SHOCKING DIVORCE
No way.
Hye-ryung's divorce was announced.
Were you aware of it?
It's just like you said.
Honestly speaking, it's been hard for me.
BOO HYE-RYUNG ANNOUNCES THE END OF HER MARRIAGE OF 3 YEARS
What's the deal? Did you get a divorce?
Yes.
Who did you hear that from?
It's a trending topic online right now.
LAW FIRM JIDAM
BOO HYE-RYUNG'S HUSBAND DOXED
Sa-hyeon wants you to come up with a name for the baby.
Gosh.
Can't we just decide on a random name?
He went to a monk who's good at creating names for Byeol-hui and Hae-ri.
They're beautiful and have a great meaning.
They should sound nice too.
Sa-hyeon was given his name so that he'd be a judge or prosecutor.
"Pan Sa-hyeon."
Better a lawyer than a judge who punishes people.
My goodness!
Must they ring like that and startle us silly?
Stay seated. You shouldn't be getting up like that.
It's all right.
Hi, Yun-sim. It's been a while.
What's the matter with you? How could you do such a thing?
What do you mean?
Your son had an affair and kicked Boo Hye-ryung out.
That's inhumane, you know.
It's cruel to hurt other people's children.
Yes?
Where?
-What? -You have it all wrong.
So?
It's not true.
If my daughter had been kicked out like Boo Hye-ryung,
I would have buried my son-in-law myself.
No one kicked her out. She offered to divorce--
Why would she lie about that?
I feel so bad for her.
Even I cried while watching her interview.
You should listen to both sides of the story.
What you don't know--
I'm getting another call.
Did you read the articles? Hye-ryung is in no shape to go on air.
We'll have to air a recording.
She seemed okay with it despite the tears.
Wouldn't it have been better to wait for them to find out?
That's like living with a ticking time bomb.
It's better to rip off the Band-aid.
They say you can't truly know a person.
Her husband, I mean.
I guess men are defenseless when women throw themselves at them.
It would have been much better to not have let it affect him though.
The gossip will subside.
That will be true for Ms. Boo and she'll win sympathy votes too.
But her husband is being dragged through the mud.
What can you do? He had it coming.
You're saying that because you're also a man, right?
Because all guys stick together?
-Is that not true? -Of course not.
He was once her husband,
so did she have to bury him socially?
People who don't know him will forget
and move on to new gossip,
but not those close to him.
It'll be hard on his parents too.
I guess she didn't see it coming.
She was only trying to take initiative before word got out.
You know how manic people get over other people's lives.
There was no need to dox her husband.
Could news about Hae-ryun's engagement to Nam Ga-bin hurt our kids?
The wrong person can ruin a whole household,
and that's exactly what happened.
How could she stab us in the back like this?
Unbelievable.
No wonder they say humans are the worst.
You're a poor judge of character. And you call yourself a lawyer?
You just fell for her pretty face.
That can be said for us too.
I was clearly against the marriage.
-I'm sorry. -What did your boss say?
Didn't he tell you to resign
for tarnishing the firm's reputation?
There's no loyalty among colleagues when in a crisis.
Let's just give it a few days.
How could she when we did everything she asked for?
She even bought dinner to thank us.
She even mentioned Catholicism
and said she'll just accept things as they are.
She also said she'd see us as her parents and not her in-laws.
She even said she'd visit us in Daejeon.
And with a smile on her face!
It hasn't even been a month. It was two days ago!
Divorce isn't anything to be proud of, so why hold a press conference?
I get why she announced it,
but how could she
make Sa-hyeon look like the vilest cheater on Earth?
We even hugged when we parted ways
-and wished each other the best. -Why would you?
It was a way of saying goodbye.
You see foreigners do it in movies.
And this is what she does?
Just how many faces does she have?
I shouldn't have told her to visit us when she golfed.
She played us.
After taking what she needed from us, she told her story in tears.
Why not say he crippled her heart too?
Could it be that she never had one in the first place?
Just think about it.
How could she do something like this?
She may be pretty on the outside, but how ugly can she be on the inside?
I can't show my face anymore.
Everyone I know wants nothing to do with me now.
What about him then?
No firm in Korea will want to work with him now.
He's still young!
I'm sorry. This is all my fault.
How is this your fault? It isn't.
-Of course not. -The marriage was cursed, to begin with.
There's even a song about it.
-Right? -Yes.
You and your poor judge of people.
You should have checked to see if she was pretty on the inside too.
Just like your mom.
Don't stress yourself over this.
-This is our issue to handle. -Of course.
Meet your future sister-in-law.
It's nice to see you again as a future family member.
Same here.
I'll be back in just a moment.
What's done is done, so as long as we pull it together--
You should turn it off.
It's Hye-ryung.
Answer it.
-Yes? -Father, I'm terribly sorry.
The reporters spun my story their own way.
-Is that so? -Yes.
Those reporters… Their only concern is to sensationalize the story.
I regret doing the interview.
Weren't you the one who said it?
As you know, what we say can be taken in the wrong way.
You parted ways with a smile on your face,
but there you were in tears.
The reporters hounded me with questions
and that led to a burst of emotions.
I couldn't lie
and the truth would come out anyway even if I tried to keep it a secret.
Things might have backfired.
I only stuck to the facts, but that's how they wrote their articles.
I feel terrible myself.
-About what? -I've made a big mess of things.
They were going to find out anyway,
so I wanted to break the news myself.
It's always better to rip the Band-aid off.
There was no Band-aid on your arm though.
Only on ours.
The biggest one was on Sa-hyeon.
The whole nation calls him a bastard now.
Is it that bad?
He was doxed thanks to you. Didn't you know?
I was too upset to read any of the articles.
Is that so?
Anyway, it'll soon blow over.
-Don't worry too much. -Is that why you called?
-Yes. -All right then.
Sure thing. Have a good day, Father.
That conniving snake.
What did she say?
Mom, what are you up to?
I know. Things were tense today.
Don't you worry.
I actually have a better image now because of it.
The sympathy votes keep coming in.
Won't you and Dad visit sometime?
My new house is wonderful.
The view of the Han River at night is amazing.
Goodness. Are you here by yourself?
Yes.
-Really? -Have I ever lied to you?
That's not what I was implying. Maybe a joke perhaps.
Did you go that day to see your friend Madam Hong?
-No, so my friends came by my house. -Do you invite people over?
You seem to enjoy being alone.
I get that Ms. Boo can't be here,
but I'm sure Ms. Lee came.
She went to the restroom.
It'll be past ten when it's over.
Is Ms. Lee still not back?
Maybe she isn't feeling well.
Will you get her some medicine too?
I came alone.
Did she already see this show?
You should ask her later.
Thanks for this.
Do you like this musical?
Are you a fan of Nam Ga-bin's?
I just thought I should watch it.
I feel bad. I shouldn't have joked about her being here.
Food shouldn't be wasted, and also beverages for that matter.
Of course not.
How can you drink two cups though?
Goodness.
Isn't that your husband?
It is.

You better shut your trap
before I pour cold soup over you.
They're my eyes. I'll do what I like with them.
-Why you… -You're going to pour cold soup over me?
It's been so long since I last saw you laugh out loud like this.
I'll be honest. I have a thing for Mr. Seo.
You will help me, right?
So you're going to beat me to it?
She's nuts. How could she put her hands on the elderly?
Why do you always have to fight?
I'm truly grateful for what you did for me.
I'm over what we went through in the past, so you don't have to feel sorry.
Let's get married.
She's seeing that Mr. Seo guy. I don't know since when though.
You've played me for a fool.
And yet you blamed me for everything.
-That's ridiculous. -I'll take care of Ji-a from now on.
