(Episode 12)
What are you talking about?
I like Mr. Ji.
You're way too young for him. Why would you...
Because I do.
I slept with him.
What did you say? You...
I'm sorry for springing this on you like this.
You can check with Mr. Ji.
You know that he doesn't lie.
Let's say you did sleep with him.
Then why are you here, telling me all this?
I thought you should know too.
Is this about money?
- What? - I doubt that you're here...
because you really have feelings for him.
You must be doing this to extort money out of us.
But I'm not some pushover.
When it comes to money,
I would say I have enough of it as long as I can feed myself.
What's the point of living in a mansion?
He's not even happy.
I'm here to give you a heads-up to prepare yourself...
because Mr. Ji probably won't have the guts to tell you himself.
I'll be looking after...
Mr. Ji now.
How old are you?
I'm old enough. I'm 28.
Do you know how old my husband is?
He's 49. Let me say this before you ask.
Our age difference is 21 years old.
How long have you two known each other?
You just started working there as a bookkeeper.
Did you know each other before then?
Is that how you got the job?
No.
We got married when you were in elementary school.
So what? Don't think you can beat me with time.
That makes you look pathetic.
How much do you know about my husband?
I know enough.
I know how you two met and how you got married.
Mr. Ji was 17 years old.
I can acknowledge that you two met...
even before I was born.
I know that he has no financial independence.
He's a CEO in name only.
And I also know that he recently got the bank accounts.
I don't have any personal feelings against you.
I'm sorry if my sudden visit shocked you.
But...
it didn't seem to me that you loved Mr. Ji,
- so I'm not as sorry. - Don't be so arrogant.
How would you know anything about my feelings?
If you had loved him, you would have done something.
He could barely eat.
He was always suffering from indigestion.
He worked around the clock in that beat-up truck.
You wouldn't have let your parents treat him like a servant.
He was one of the brightest people who graduated...
from the highest-ranking university in Korea.
Do you know that he's on medication?
Think how difficult it must have been for him.
I'm begging you.
Please let him go.
I'm done talking to a clueless girl like you.
I'll pretend we never met.
I don't even want to talk about what you did wrong.
I'm 51 years old.
Had I gotten pregnant earlier, I would've had a daughter your age.
I'm saying it out of the goodness of my heart.
Get a grip.
We even have...
our own place.
We rented a studio.
I'm so glad...
Cha Won had his golf clothes in the car.
You're not cold, right?
This is a windbreaker jacket, so it's so warm.
It looks great on you.
Thank you, Cha Won.
I hope you're not upset that I'm wearing your clothes.
I'll wash it nicely and return it to you.
By the way,
it would've been awful if Cha Won hadn't been there.
Who knows?
A good-looking guy could have rescued me.
Right. That should have been the case.
But only couples were there.
I'm sorry, Cha Won.
I got a bit drunk, so I acted recklessly.
Nothing is going my way these days.
I wanted to wake myself up. That's why I did it.
I'm sorry.
It's dangerous to go into the water late at night like that.
On top of that, it's winter now, and you were drinking too.
I'm sorry once again.
Ba Da, Eun Kang is drunk.
She's playing around. Just play along. Don't be so dull.
We're having a blast now.
Yahoo!
I'm sobering up now.
Who's Eun Kang's first love?
That sly girl.
She's never told me about her first love.
Right.
She said that it was possible that I knew him too.
Why are you curious?
Of course, I am. Who is it?
Right.
Is it...
you...
What are you talking about? Are you still drunk?
Your friend, Director Shin?
I set him up with my friend.
Right. She didn't tutor for his family.
That's enough. Why do you want to know?
- Aren't you curious? - No.
Who is it?
Whenever Eun Kang seemed lonely,
I thought it was because of Kwon Tae Ki.
I was totally off.
She still hasn't gotten over her first love,
seeing how she jumped into the water earlier.
She was probably drunk.
Don't let Eun Kang drink a lot.
Right. I shouldn't let her drink that much.
I've never seen her like that.
Has she gone mad?
Why would she wear your husband's clothes?
It wasn't just a jacket. She even wore his pants.
What else could she do? She was completely wet.
She wouldn't have frozen to death.
Where are the clothes? I'll wash them myself.
Eun Kang will wash them.
You're so sensitive.
You're not upset that another woman is wearing your husband's clothes?
What's wrong with that? Things happen.
When we went on trips, she often borrowed his clothes.
The three of you should stop spending time together.
She's the third wheel. Why would you spend time together?
Couples start to have a problem...
when they spend time with other couples too often.
Just have her run your errands.
Or hire someone. You should keep your distance.
Where can I find someone who knows all the ins and outs of my business?
That's because you rely on her too much.
You can't do anything without her now.
You ask her to do everything.
You did that for 20 years.
If you're going to mistreat your husband, let me have him.
You were forced to marry him, right?
We rented a studio.
(Unit 1004 of High Studio, 123-1 Seocho-dong)
What's wrong?
How could you do this to me?
I get that other men cheat. But at least you shouldn't have.
How dare someone like you cheat on me?
We brought you in when you had nothing. How dare you betray me?
You got into SNU because my father supported you!
You have my family to thank for your family's lives now!
You told that girl everything.
Did it feel nice to talk about your past with her?
Did my father twist your arm to marry me?
You were having fun with a girl half your age.
Was it fun to badmouth your own wife?
What a dirtbag! A scumbag!
You're nothing but a scumbag!
Do you think you live can without your husband?
What will you do with the kids?
What about the business?
Our family will be a mess without your husband.
Where did you go yesterday?
It's none of your business.
Why did you lie that you took the day off?
Your boss called.
Tell me what's going on.
Nothing's going on.
What else did he say?
Like what?
Forget it.
Something is off with you.
Are you going to quit?
Cho Eun San!
Hello, sir.
I was worried sick for you.
Where did you go?
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Mr. Jin is going to repair the tires of our cargo truck.
Eun San.
I need your approval for this.
Can we talk?
We're at work.
You should be able to separate your personal and professional life.
This bookkeeper will go to the stationery store.
I'm here.
You seem to wear different outfits.
Some people badmouth their housekeepers...
when they don't wear decent outfits.
Do you buy clothes with the money you earn as a housekeeper?
You should save as much money as you can.
I told you when I first came here for my interview.
You must have forgotten it since you're getting old.
My husband made a lot of money, so I don't need this job.
I'm doing this because I'm bored.
Not everyone looks great in clothes like that.
Someone tall like me can pull off an outfit like that.
Gosh.
You know what? I never liked tall women.
Since we're on the subject, let me say something.
Your daughter looks cute because she's short. But you're tall.
Way too tall for a woman.
Don't you know that people must be tall to compete...
in the beauty pageant, Miss Korea?
That's only for the beauty pageant.
Having a tall woman walking around the house...
forces you to look up and down.
It's very exhausting on the eyes.
Women should be short just like me.
Ridiculous. If you're jealous, just admit it.
Gosh.
(Dermatologist Ko Cha Won)
Why are you doing this, Eun Kang?
After that day,
every moment and every day is making me insane.
How could you humiliate me like this?
Even if I drowned,
I'm sure you'd only be worried that Ba Da might find out.
Here you go.
Bye. Thank you.
Sure.
Ba Da. Your rubies arrived from Thailand.
Open it.
Gosh, my eyes.
Eun Kang. Do you have eye drops?
Yes. Check my bag.
Why do you have so much stuff?
Then just empty it out.
What's this?
Why are you carrying this?
Oh, that. When we went to the amusement park,
they took the photo as a part of an event.
Mi Poong insisted that I joined them for the picture.
I was meaning to give it to you. But I forgot.
Doesn't Mi Poong look so cute in the photo?
It's been a while since you went to the amusement park.
Other people might think that you're her mom.
No way. It's so obvious that I'm just her aunt.
I was going to give it to you, but it slipped my mind.
Are you done?
What brings you here?
You're here.
Should I put them in the safe?
Yes.
Mi Poong wants to have a burger. Let's go.
The same burger from before?
Mom liked the burger too.
I already called her.
Let's pick her up on our way.
Eun Kang, can you just clean this up?
A special package will arrive from Sri Lanka later.
Can you go home after the package arrives?
Those are gemstones. I can't lose them.
Sure.
Have a good time. You too, Cha Won.
Have a good day. We'll get going.
Bye.
Mi Poong, make sure to chew well.
Mother, isn't it good?
I've been craving it ever since I had it the other day.
Try this too. This is good too.
Right!
Mi Poong, do you want me to order that too?
- Yes. - Wait.
One chicken king burger, please.
When will Aunt get here?
Who?
Aunt Eun Kang. I wish she was here too.
It's going to be just our family today.
Isn't she part of our family too?
See? Kids can't lie.
You spent too much time with her. Even Mi Poong thinks she's family.
Don't call her Aunt. Call her Ms. Cho.
Mi Poong. Aunt Eun Kang...
isn't part of our family.
She's just my friend.
- Come here. - Are you happy?
You must be cold, Mi Poong. Let's hurry inside.
Was it good?
Let's eat there again.
I had a nice dinner. Thank you, Cha Won.
I'm happy that you liked it.
I remember turning off the light earlier.
Mi Poong, let's wash up and go to sleep.
Come here, Mi Poong. Let's brush your teeth.
What about Ddolbang? I want Ddolbang.
She must be sleepy. She's asking for Ddolbang.
I put Ddolbang on the balcony, so it could get some sun.
That's Aunt.
She didn't come today.
Do you think she stopped by our house?
Why would she? She knows we're not here.
What is it?
This is the scent of your toner.
- Right. - How come the scent is so strong?
Did you spill it?
No. I only applied it in the morning before I left.
How come Aunt Eun Kang always spends time with us...
if she's not part of our family?
Mi Poong is sleeping, and so is my mother.
I'll make sure they go to sleep...
as soon as the sun goes down starting tomorrow.
Let's go to sleep. I'm tired.
But we didn't do it last time either.
It's been a long time.
Next time.
Honey.
- I'm sorry. - Honey. Is there...
a psychological problem...
that's stopping you?
It used to be just us. But now that my mom moved in...
And...
I keep ruining the mood by going out to check on them.
Or...
do you want to see a doctor?
It happens to even young people when they're under stress.
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
We can go to a clinic and get it checked out.
It's not that.
I'm fine.
I'm busy. I have to work late.
We could have talked at home.
We can't talk about this at home.
What is this about? You said this was urgent.
Your bookkeeper came to me.
What...
What did she say?
I'm sure you know.
I stayed up all night thinking about what I should do.
But I can't find an answer.
I'm not smart enough.
"I slept with Mr. Ji."
"I like Mr. Ji."
The moment I heard those words, my heart sank.
My body shook as if I did something wrong.
"This can't be true. There's no way."
Seeing how brazen she was, I didn't think she was lying.
I wondered how you could do this to me,
let her come to me,
and shamelessly tell me all these things right to my face.
I was angry and felt betrayed too.
But you know what's funny?
I don't hate you for it.
I feel like it's my fault.
I made a sweet man cheat on me.
My dad never approved of you...
even though you worked day and night.
He'd check the books out of his mistrust for you,
and my mom never respected you as her son-in-law.
Instead, she picked on you for having indigestion.
I'm not the most affectionate wife, and we hardly saw eye to eye.
I never cooked for you nor made you ramyeon.
What kind of life did you have...
when you had no one to lean on in the family?
Please don't put it like that.
It wasn't because you did anything wrong.
Nam Chul, you should know...
that I can't break up with you.
I won't be able to raise the kids alone.
I can't do it without you.
I won't tell anyone.
My parents won't find out and neither will our children.
Just end it right here.
We'll bury this.
It was a mistake on your part, so apologize to her end it.
Please, honey.
This is 30,000 dollars.
The money is in banker's checks.
I doubt she'll go away quietly.
Where did you get...
this much money?
Anyone could save this much on the side...
during 18 years of marriage.
I withdrew every last penny.
I was saving up...
to celebrate our 20th anniversary with a family trip.
End it before my dad finds out.
My friend's husband got his girlfriend pregnant...
but dealt with it by paying 50,000 dollars.
This should be enough.
I doubt the bookkeeper came after an old man...
to actually start a life with him.
She probably chose you thinking you had money.
I can't believe someone so smart got played like that.
Pay her this money for now.
She might demand more...
knowing that you're a gentle spirit, so make sure she understands.
Wrap it up neatly before my dad finds out.
Thanks for working hard until this late hour.
Get home safely. I'll see you tomorrow.
Mr. Ji, why don't we grab a late-night snack?
Everyone's hungry.
I have a lot to finish up here.
You should go without me.
I'll make sure to pay with the company card.
Sure thing.
- Let's go. - Thanks.
We'll enjoy the snack.
So...
This is Mul Sang Resources.
It's me. Just answer my questions.
Is Nam Chul still there?
Yes, Chairman Ko.
He's still working,
and the others haven't gone home yet.
I told you when you called earlier that he'd be busy working overtime.
Got it.
Don't tell Nam Chul that I called to check up on him.
Yes, Chairman Ko.
We should go somewhere and talk.
He's keeping tabs on when you go home,
so get going. Good night.
My wife...
Why did you go to her?
Did you have to stir up her life when she knew nothing?
Are you worried about her?
It was our mess to settle.
If only you were better at making decisions...
You're a coward, remember?
I clearly told you...
that I'd do what I saw fit.
- Eun San. - I wouldn't have minded this...
if we hadn't gotten caught.
Seeing you with your wife was unbearable,
and I wanted to have you all to myself.
But I was willing to live with it.
But...
we did get caught.
And now it's time to take action.
What do you want me to do?
What do you want?
Divorce her.
Dae Geun.
- Just a second. Don't eat just yet. - What?
What is it?
Hold on.
Wait.
I didn't know that was in there.
Drink up before Dae Geun sees you.
What is the tonic for?
Just drink it.
Have what your wife gives you.
I wouldn't feed you poison.
Who knows? It's a scary world we live in.
Dae Geun, it's not for you, though.
The tonic only works on men in their 60s,
not on men in their 40s.
I wouldn't have it anyway.
But a few have been going missing.
Drink it up without leaving a drop.
It's precious stuff.
I hear it's great for women.
Hey!
For women?
You wasted it!
Why did you make me have what was brewed for women?
Darn it.
Gender doesn't really matter after a certain age.
What's good for women is good for men as well.
I'm already losing my masculinity as it is.
Unbelievable.
Is it really good for women?
Darn it.
- You drank them, didn't you? - Of course not!
I didn't.
And here I thought you turned over a new leaf.
I happen to know this stingy and petty man.
He keeps track of the money his wife spends,
commenting on the price and the clothes she buys.
I wouldn't be able to handle that.
Who's this guy?
What?
There's this guy.
He's the husband of the wife I met at the borough office.
Seeing how others are at everyone.
I'm the best, aren't I?
Then act like you know it...
- rather than kicking me. - You're right.
I always get to raise my voice...
all thanks to you.
What has gotten into your sister-in-law?
At the dining table,
she's usually busy yapping at everyone.
What good is having ten children?
The whole lot isn't better than one decent husband.
This reminds me of my mom.
Being ostracised as a widow...
led her to beat her children and become obsessed with money.
I couldn't understand it as a kid.
Life must've been lonely without a husband.
The heartache of not having enough to eat,
not having a house,
and not having a husband.
Those are the three "hysteria" of the world.
Ban Sook, you're the best!
You called them the three "hysteria."
Did I say that wrong?
Is it the four hysteria?
Three or four. Let it be as many as you want.
After thinking about my life thus far,
I think it's been good enough.
Of course.
They might not be a success,
but they're at least borderline average.
But we live in a house waiting to be demolished.
At the hospital, there are tons of sick people.
Being healthy is considered average.
Exactly.
You two are meant for each other.
Don't argue and be on good terms like you are now.
- We don't argue anymore. - We don't argue anymore.
Eat up.
You want to go to the market?
Got it.
I'll wait for you at its entrance in about two hours.
Ms. Yang,
accompany me to the market today.
Will you pay me my hourly rate?
- Of course. - My gosh!
You're the best.
The sound of money is all the medication I need,
and it takes away any pain that I have.
Father, hello.
You haven't met my daughter-in-law before.
Say hello.
She's our new housekeeper.
Her food is actually quite good.
Hello.
I hope you'll make delicious food for my in-laws.
I was hoping to serve this fruit to my mother-in-law,
but I'm afraid I have urgent business to take care of.
Why don't you handle that instead?
But...
I can't go with him to the market because of you, girl.
Sorry about that.
I bought strawberries, Beni-Madonna oranges,
and Mother's favourite biscuits.
This is a lot.
It's not like fruits have a long shelf-life.
You're a generous one, aren't you?
Even the wealthiest would be depleted at this rate.
Sorry?
You'll be running your family into the ground.
No wonder your mother-in-law talks smack about you all the time.
Now that I see she has every reason to.
Right.
Can you wash the strawberries for my mother-in-law?
Make sure they're clean.
Get going and let me handle it.
Why did you come by and ruin my trip to the market?
Pardon?
Those are keen ears you have.
The whole family is like that which is why I can't speak my mind.
You can't toss them like that.
Don't wash them in plain water...
and rinse them with baking soda as well.
And leave the tops on.
She enjoys taking them off herself.
You're quite the nagger for someone your age.
This is what drives people to quit.
It's only because you're rinsing them in plain water.
I'm worried about pesticides.
Consuming small amounts of it won't kill you.
We grew up eating them in the field.
Nothing happened to any of us.
You're being too fussy.
You'll damage the strawberries if you toss them like that.
Aren't you leaving? You said you were busy.
You're the reason I couldn't go to the market, girl.
If only I had been able to go there with him.
Ma'am,
- why are you being this way to me? - What do you mean?
You're here to work, so just do your job.
And that's what I'm doing. Are you blind?
Unbelievable.
Why are you speaking casually to me when we just met?
How old are you anyway, girl?
And please stop referring to me as "girl."
Why are you upset when I'm not being rude?
Unbelievable.
You have quite the attitude for someone so young.
What is with all this ruckus?
Your daughter-in-law is quite the diva.
It must not be easy for you.
You heard her.
Hey, Ba Da.
Unbelievable.
What is it? Is something up?
I bought some fruit at the department store...
to please my mother-in-law.
What is with that new housekeeper?
- What? - She talked down to me...
and kept calling me "girl."
I was offended.
What she called you wasn't a bad word though.
It's another word for "you."
It's still wrong.
She was upset about not being able to go to the market with Father...
which she took out on me.
Geum Ah told me about her over the phone.
She always has the last word and comes at every family member.
Father defends her though because she's a good cook,
so everyone has to take it.
You met her too, didn't you?
Yes, a few times.
Didn't she say anything to you?
She may come off a little rude, but she seems nice.
As if. I should say something the next time I'm there.
She thinks she's the lady of the house.
I don't like her.
Oddly enough,
she seems familiar.
Where could you have seen her?
I don't know. Doesn't she seem familiar to you?
You would've seen her too if I had seen her.
She doesn't seem familiar. Maybe she has one of those faces.
Don't you have a party to get to?
You must be busy if you have to stop by the salon.
- Go ahead. - I'll get going, then.
(Premium Tonic)
You're here.
I thought you weren't working today.
I promised a make-up class...
and to help Chun with her exams.
I'll be staying until late.
The daughter-in-law came by just now...
and acted like some diva.
You've met her too, haven't you?
- Yes. - She tried to patronize me.
You're here to provide service for this family,
so you should do as instructed.
I'm more experienced when it comes to household chores.
Who is she to yap at me when her father-in-law doesn't?
Mom, you're an employee here.
You can't say whatever is on your mind.
You haven't left yet?
I was reminding Ms. Yang of her place.
You need to be respectful to their daughter-in-law as well.
Of course, Ms. Eun Kang.
Didn't you leave?
Mother, can we talk?
Okay.
So this...
You mentioned how it's been hard to go up and down stairs lately.
I bought this for you.
I had so much in my hands that I forgot about it.
It does seem nice.
Please have one.
I hope you've been doubling and tripling my money.
Don't worry, Mother.
Can't you hear your money being printed?
Look at you being all cheeky.
You used to be coy,
but borrowing my money changed you.
My life is in your hands now, so of course.
It's still a secret though.
You haven't told Cha Won, have you?
You know he's a blabbermouth.
I think I heard Eun Kang call her "Mom."
That's absurd.
She looked oddly familiar,
and things started to add up when I saw them together...
in the kitchen.
When did you see her?
Around the 1st or 2nd year of high school.
She was scolding Eun Kang on the street,
so I couldn't even say hello.
That was 20 years ago, though.
Women who don't stand out look the same at that age.
Why don't you confront Eun Kang?
How can I?
I'd be crossing the line if I'm wrong.
Maybe I was mistaken.
Got it.
Have you been following up as we talked about?
I did as suggested.
I used his kids as leverage...
and have been checking when he clocks out.
Good for you.
Is your daughter still in the dark?
Just like her mom, she doesn't easily pick up on things.
I'm glad.
Even if your son-in-law ends it,
it might get messy...
if his girlfriend won't go away.
Women these days can be quite brazen.
They even seek out the wife.
The nerve!
Tell me about it.
Some women can be that ridiculous.
If that ever happens, I'll be of help.
I know a way to instantly get rid of them.
How?
Gosh, I'm lonely.
Why does she always cuddle that thing in bed?
She must not know what really matters in life.
Goodness.
Look how filthy this is!
[VIU Ver] CSTV E12 'Red Balloon' "Geum Ah’s Wrath" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Gosh.
Chairman Ko, this is heavier than it looks.
Should I carry it for you?
- For free? - Of course.
Call it an extension of my service.
(Woon's Room, Always knock)
This way.
- No, over here. - Sure.
You live in a mansion, sir.
It's admirable.
- Good work. - I'll get going.
Call me whenever you need me, sir.
My goodness.
I bought enough for the week,
so get cooking starting tomorrow.
Where's Ddolbang?
Ddolbang?
I want my Ddolbang!
- Ddolbang! - Just a second.
Ddolbang!
- I want my Ddolbang! - Geum Ah, Ddolbang is missing.
- I want my Ddolbang! - I forgot to bring it with us.
Can you see if it's around the house?
What is this all about?
Ddolbang is missing and Mi Poong is having a fit.
My goodness. This is bad.
Mi Poong. Oh, dear.
- Please don't cry. - Where is it?
Ddolbang!
- Please don't cry. - I want Ddolbang!
Mi Poong.
Please be patient, okay?
Aunt Geum Ah is looking for it.
Let's give it some time.
You can do that, right?
What are you looking for?
Ddolbang is missing and Mi Poong is throwing a fit.
What? Oh, dear.
Mom, haven't you seen Ddolbang?
Who's Ddolbang?
Mi Poong's stuffed bunny.
The one she carries around.
Oh, that one?
It was filthy, so I threw it out.
How could you throw that out?
Mi Poong goes crazy without it.
I'll look for it.
What a fussy brat.
When are they going to stop her from sleeping with that thing?
A seven-year-old shouldn't need one.
Who does she get this fussiness from?
No one in our family is like that.
Chun and Woon were like that too.
Chun kept her baby blanket until she was in second grade.
I don't remember that. How lame.
It's me.
Do we have another one of Mi Poong's bunnies?
- We don't. - I'm in trouble.
My mom didn't know any better and threw it out.
I can't believe she did that.
Honey, I have to get going.
Can you handle this? See you later.
Cha Won, I asked the store that sold the bunnies,
but they're not produced anymore.
I'll keep looking though.
- No! I need it! - Mi Poong, please.
My bunny!
She might pass out at this rate.
Our family has a history of weak hearts.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Hello, Mr. Chairman.
Ms. Han,
I invited you here today to offer my gratitude.
I'm grateful for the invitation.
It's a party for my allies,
so brace yourself.
He's a close friend of mine.
Mr. Shin, please say hello.
This is Han Ba Da, the future of my company.
It's good to meet you. I'm Shin Ki Han.
I'm Han Ba Da.
Cha Won, I posted a photo of it that I had...
here and there.
I'm sure someone will contact us soon.
Let's give it some time.
I want Ddolbang.
Dad, where's Ddolbang?
Please find it.
I will. Don't worry.
What are we going to do if she ends up in the ER again?
- Mi Poong. - Auntie!
I'll find Ddolbang for you, so don't worry.
Please don't cry and wait, okay?
Okay.
Just a second.
- Come here. - Yes?
No, it's beige.
How big is it?
I don't think that's the one. I'm sorry.
Hello? You texted me about the bunny.
It looked similar in the photo.
That's right. Sure.
How big is it?
(My daughter)
So... My gosh!
Are you all right?
I'm sorry.
I'm fine.
You'll catch a cold.
It's been a while.
The slap you planted still stings, you know.
I warned you not to cross the line.
That temper of yours.
It's good to see you here. Let's grab a drink.
I was just about to leave.
You're a businesswoman. Will you miss out on a chance like this?
They call it a party for cooperators,
but this is a gathering of big players in the field.
Nothing bad will come from getting to know them.
And most of them are close acquaintances of mine.
Did she fall asleep?
Yes. She got tired and fell asleep.
We need to find it before she wakes up.
I did it. I found the same one.
You did? Where?
In Paju.
- Let's go. - You can't go.
Eun Kang, you go alone.
She doesn't have a car.
What will you do if Mi Poong wakes up?
I can't handle her by myself.
That's right. You should stay home, Cha Won.
I can take a taxi.
Mother, I'll be back.
Are you okay?
Yes.
What kind of doll is it that you're going all the way to Paju?
You could just buy her something similar.
She doesn't want any other one, no matter how nice it is.
It has to be that exact bunny.
She will throw a tantrum if it isn't the same one.
I should've bought one before they discontinued it.
What is your friend up to?
She's busy.
You're so dedicated.
Even if she's a friend, do you have to do this much?
That's her favourite doll.
She throws the biggest tantrum if she wakes up and it's not there.
She even ended up in the emergency room.
Gosh.
We'd just get spanked and sent to bed...
if we threw tantrums like that when we were young.
Hello.
This is it.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Ms. Han.
Say hello.
They are from our Seoul office.
It's nice to meet you.
- Let's drink. - Nice to meet you.
Please, say hello.
Oh, hello. It's great to meet you.
Mom, Ddolbang...
Tell Mom to come home.
Just wait a little longer.
(Han Ba Da)
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
(Cho Eun Kang)
Eun Kang.
I found it. I'm on my way back now.
Wait a little.
Okay. I'll be back as soon as possible.
- Uncle, go faster. - I'll get a speeding ticket.
I'll pay for the ticket. Hurry.
Yes, Cha Won.
What about Mi Poong?
She's sleeping.
I was too frazzled to thank you earlier.
Eun Kang.
Thank you so much.
I don't have anything else to say to you.
You saved Mi Poong and me.
I was so worried that she might have to go to the ER again.
So I'm your saviour.
What about Ba Da?
She's still not home.
She hasn't even called.
I see.
The party must be going on for a while.
Then you should just go to bed.
I'll do some more searching and find more of the bunnies.
We should find some extras just in case.
Okay.
I told you never to call me again.
What does that mean?
There's something that will surprise me?
What on earth are you thinking of doing?
Do whatever you want.
I have all the proof of you threatening me.
I won't let this slide either.
(2:10am, Saturday, December 17)
Hello.
Ba Da got really drunk.
Which way is her room?
This way.
She had some drinks at the party.
I'll get going.
Thank you.
Gosh, my head.
Drink that. It's honey water.
Thanks.
What's important to you?
Mi Poong was crying her head off because she lost Ddolbang.
Didn't you even worry?
What happened?
I put her to sleep after finding the same doll as Ddolbang.
Eun Kang went all the way to Paju to find one...
while you were at a party.
Sorry.
I didn't know you were such a cold mother.
I wasn't just having fun.
That was all an extension of work.
You weren't even the hostess of the party.
You could've left if you wanted to.
Stop talking as if I'm not worthy of being a mom.
I might not be perfect,
but I did my best over the past seven years...
while doing my own work too.
Put your hand over your heart and think about it.
Making Mi Poong her breakfast every morning,
dressing her and getting her to kindergarten,
bringing her home in the evening, washing her, and putting her to bed.
I did all that.
How many times have you been to Mi Poong's kindergarten?
Eun Kang taught her to read, add, and subtract.
You're her mother.
How could you not even call?
If you had been more of a mother in the first place,
she wouldn't have been so attached to her doll...
and threw such big tantrums.
That thought makes my heart ache.
Is that my fault?
Were you always this old-fashioned?
That's just Mi Poong's habit since she was a baby.
Why are you blaming me?
It's because I'm angry!
It's hard for me too!
Is it easy to go out and make money?
Drinking?
I don't do it because I like it.
I tried to borrow some money the other day but couldn't.
I figured it'd be good to make some connections in the business world.
I hung in there even though I was tired.
I'm not working only for my sake.
I'm working so hard for our family.
How could you not know that and keep yelling at me?
It's not for our family.
I bet it's because of your father's debt.
- What? - And you've been putting off...
having another baby because of that too.
What are you saying?
We're married.
How could you lie to me for seven years?
Who said that?
Where did you hear that?
Did you go to the party with Shin Ki Han?
I didn't go with him.
He was invited to that party too.
He's a junior of the chairman.
Tell me honestly.
Is Shin Ki Han really just a friend?
What do you mean?
Isn't he your ex-boyfriend?
Why are you being like this?
You're saying such ridiculous things.
Did Eun Kang tell you that?
Did she?
Let's meet at the camping site.
Where on earth are you?
Why can't I reach you?
You're making me go crazy.
Let's meet at the camping site.
I regretted it a lot after getting divorced.
But I couldn't just take things back.
All guys were pretty much the same,
but my husband who I had a child with was the best.
Of course.
Guys you meet casually are obviously after one thing.
They just want to mooch off of you.
Sister-in-law. Brother-in-law.
I'm not your brother-in-law.
Former.
- What? - Former.
Former brother-in-law. Former sister-in-law.
Please help me.
Even if it's just for Eun Byeol's sake,
I want to get back with Dae Geun and live with him.
- What? - Please help me,
- Say something. - former sister-in-law.
- Call Dae Geun. - What for? He's busy.
Dae Geun.
- I said to leave him alone. - What is it, Ban Sook?
- Is something the matter? - You should come home.
Eun Byeol's mom is here.
She's crying her eyes out, saying she wants to get back with you.
I heard her side of the story, and I pity her.
Dae Geun. Hello?
- He hung up. - See?
Get back with him? As if.
Dae Geun has no intention of remarrying you. Just go home.
You tormented him so much...
and bled him dry.
But now what? All guys are the same?
Don't live your life that way.
- Come on. - What?
How can you mend something that's already been broken?
Even if Dae Geun wants to get back together with her,
I'm against it.
Even if you're against it, it's no use.
I will get back together with him, even if it's the last thing I do.
I'll wait for him until he comes home.
Seriously?
Eun Kang.
What is all this?
Is this the camping site?
Whose place is this?
I told you. This is a friend's house.
Tell me the truth.
I saw your texts.
Then you already know.
Please leave now. I'm not in the mood to talk.
Just go. Don't stay here.
What are you doing right now?
You.
Are you and your boss...
Is that it?
Tell me.
Is that what's going on?
Did you get here early?
I just got here.
Let me go wash my hands.
The bathroom is a mess.
Wash them in the kitchen sink.
(123-1 Seocho-dong, High Studio, Unit 1004)
Let's talk outside.
Let's make today...
our last day.
Don't decide things on your own and force me to follow along.
I've never lived that way.
I'm not daring enough,
brave enough, or big-hearted enough.
As you said, I'm a coward.
It's not the end for me. Are you ending things by yourself?
What kind of nonsense is this?
We only just started.
You said this was your first time.
It was for me too.
I can't break up with you.
Stop making my love into something small.
There's nothing I can say to make you understand.
We just have to do this.
Get out for now. Let's talk outside.
- Where? - Wherever!
I can't say anything here.
Just get out for now.
Who's there?
It's me. Open up.
It's my wife.
How did she find this place?
I told her.
Don't open it.
Geum Ah.
Don't touch her.
I told you that I'd take care of it.
"Don't touch her?"
Is this where you had an affair?
Is this where you were rolling around?
In this tent?
With a girl who could be your daughter?
After ripping my heart to pieces,
you can still drink this?
You're filthy!
- Honey. Geum Ah. - You're filthy!
You're filthy!
Geum Ah!
Stop it. You'll hurt yourself.
- Let's talk outside. - Don't touch me!
You're filthy!
Honey!
Geum Ah!
Take it back.
I'm not filthy.
Take back what you said about me being filthy.
Why, you little...
Honey!
- Geum Ah! - Let go!
Honey!
Did you just hit me?
Did you hit me in front of this wench?
I didn't hit you.
Just calm down.
Let's not do this. Please.
You were serious about this.
This wasn't a joke.
You didn't just fall for this girl's seduction.
You liked her and went along with it too.
I didn't even know that.
Geum Ah.
Geum Ah!
Taxi!
Geum Ah!
Please go to Bangbae-dong.
(Don't Sing by Kim Mok Kyung)
(Red Balloon)
Sincerity? Don't make me laugh.
This is the best that I can do now.
Don't answer Eun San's calls.
It's good to see you.
Is this really Eun Kang?
Eat well,
and don't be sick.
You were just a beggar we fed and raised.
Father!
It's enough to see you alive.
I was afraid of our emotions.
I feel like my heart is on fire, and it's driving me crazy.
