Hey.
Once time passes by, and I become really old,
do you think I'll be able to brush off the past...
and tell myself that I did...
a pretty good job in life?
What?
I just want...
time to pass by really quickly.
Why didn't she tell me this earlier?
Hey, lady.
What kind of person is your husband?
Why do you ask?
I don't think I've ever seen you talk about your husband.
Do I even need to talk to you about my husband?
No, not exactly.
But since you're running a restaurant,
I expected your husband to drop by after work...
or sometimes help you close the restaurant.
But I've never seen him at all.
Then what about your wife?
What?
Normally, don't wives call their husbands at work...
to check if they ate lunch...
and ask what time they'll be coming home?
I get that she was abroad when you were sick.
But she never once called you after you started working here.
Let's not ask each other any personal questions.
Don't ask what my husband does...
or what my brother does.
In return, I won't ask you anything about your wife.
Okay, fine.
Really?
I'm surprised you did that for me.
Lower your voice. Someone might hear you.
I normally don't interfere with the actors' schedules.
The managers are in charge of that.
I only make decisions for the reports and briefings I get.
I know you don't let your personal feelings get in the way of work.
From now on, I want you to talk to the managers...
if you have any complaints.
It still won't be the same.
They at least pretend to listen when you talk to them.
Anyway, I told them to send your profile to the TV station...
and convince them to cast you again.
So let's wait and see how it goes.
The reason I like you isn't because you're the president of the agency.
But it does make me like you even more.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
I'm looking for someone right now.
He's a director.
But I don't know his name.
I think he's in his early 30s.
He's very good-looking, he has a good voice,
- but he's very arrogant. - What?
I recently auditioned here, but I didn't make it to the finals.
And he was one of the judges.
Did he call you here?
Well...
He made me come here, so I guess you could say that.
Come this way. The shoot's about to begin.
What? "The shoot"?
Are you taking me to a shoot?
Yes, didn't you hear about your role?
Why did you come dressed up like that?
What?
You don't look at all like someone who sells roasted sweet potatoes.
What? Sell what?
Can we get some roasted sweet potatoes?
How many would you like?
Cut.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm selling roasted sweet potatoes.
Yes, but what's with that attitude?
I can have whatever attitude I want.
There's no set attitude.
- Who brought her here? - Well, I did.
Didn't I tell you to call anyone but her?
Yes, I know. That's why I didn't call her.
But she came here saying you called her yourself.
Well, I did come here because of you.
Hurry up and call someone else.
I can do a good job.
I promise I can do well.
Sir, if we call someone else, everyone will have to wait again.
Hey, I want you to tie your hair.
But I got my hair done today.
And erase your lipstick.
Take your makeup off.
But I got my makeup done.
Hurry up.
- Hey, give me a wet wipe. - No, wait.
I paid 200 dollars for this hair and makeup.
Don't you want this role?
Cue.
- How many do you want? - Cut.
How many do you want?
- Cut. - How many do you want?
Cut.
How many do you want?
Cut.
How many do you want?
Cut.
How many do you want?
Cut.
- How many... - Cut.
- Let's get rid of this scene. - Pardon?
They can just start out by eating sweet potatoes.
Okay.
Hey, get out.
- Move. - What? Why?
We're going to get rid of the scene, so you can leave now.
That's not fair.
I even took my makeup off and tied my hair.
- No, I can't leave. - Hurry up and leave.
I can do a good job. I swear.
- Let me go! - You need to leave!
I can really do well!
How many...
- Get out! - I can really do a good job!
I can do this!
What's this sound?
My gosh, who is this?
What is that sound?
I'm going to destroy him!
How many...
What's the matter with your grandpa?
Aunt Jin Bong took off with his money.
Dad, will you please sit down? You're all over the place.
Hey, I want to sit down, but I can't...
because I feel so anxious.
You should've protected it properly. It's too late to regret it.
I did protect it properly.
But she showed up out of nowhere and took it to her room.
She pushed me and ran inside.
How do you expect an old man like me...
to run faster than her?
My gosh.
Hey, Jin Bong.
Where... Where is my money?
- I spent it all. - What?
I spent it all on getting my hair and makeup done.
What? How could you spend everything on makeup?
Come here.
You...
You spent all my money on getting this type of makeup?
Don't even ask!
I'm going to destroy him!
I guess she received a special effects makeover.
Hey, you're home. You keep coming home late these days.
I'm busy with a shoot.
My goodness, it must've been exhausting.
Look at how scrawny your face has become.
Mom, there are so many weird people in this world.
There are people who don't work hard but are really greedy.
They cause so much trouble to others.
But they don't even know that they're doing that.
There are tons of people like that.
I already know three.
Jin Sang, his father, and his sister.
They already have three in their family.
So I'm sure there are a lot more.
Goodbye.
- Thank you, bye. - Bye.
Hey, you dropped this.
(Why is she so obsessed with her brother?)
(Does she empathize with her brother? Why would she do that?)
(It's not like she raised him herself.)
(Is she best friends with her brother's wife?)
Hey, what's this?
Why would you read this?
Why did you write down notes about me?
Well...
I just wrote them when I got bored.
Do you find it funny that I live like this?
Did you write this down...
so you could use it to tease me in the future?
No, that's not what it is.
I just wanted to learn...
a bit more about middle-aged women.
I wanted to know what they think and how they live.
Someone told me that I should know.
So I just wrote down what I heard and some stuff that came to mind.
Listen to me.
Don't be curious about other women.
Instead, just focus on your wife.
The reason your wife never calls to check up on you...
is because you're always focused on something else.
Why are you suddenly changing the subject?
My wife never calls. That's just how she's like.
That's nonsense.
If she loved you, she'd call you whenever she could.
Then I guess your husband never visits the restaurant...
because you always doubt people and are mean to them.
What did you just say?
The same goes for the recent issue with your brother.
I thought about why you're so obsessed...
with your brother's affair.
You're just obsessed...
because you're worried your husband might betray you...
just like how your brother betrayed his wife.
If you're so worried,
you should learn to speak nicely...
and be kind to people.
Otherwise, your husband would always want to avoid you...
and would never want to be in the same room as you.
I'm telling you this as a guy who knows what it feels like...
to stay married just for the sake of it.
Hey, are you crying?
Get out.
- I didn't mean to... - Get out of here right now.
Dad.
What would you do?
Let's say there's a road with beautiful flowers on one side.
And next to that is an unpaved road with nothing but weeds.
Which road would you take?
Why are you asking me that? I already feel troubled as it is.
Come on, Dad. Which road would you take?
- The one I was taking. - What?
I'll just stick to the one I was on.
My gosh.
Then let me ask you one more question.
On one side, there's an elevator that can take you...
all the way to the top.
And on the other side, you see never-ending stairs.
Which one would you choose?
- The escalator. - What?
I get dizzy when I take elevators.
And I don't like stairs.
Dad, the escalator wasn't a choice.
Just choose one.
Shut your mouth and just choose whichever one you want.
- I'm home. - Hey, Hae Jin.
I'm going to eat instant noodles.
Otherwise, your husband would always want to avoid you...
and would never want to be in the same room as you.
I'm telling you this as a guy who knows what it feels like...
to stay married just for the sake of it.
A guy who stays married just for the sake of it.
(A guy who stays married just for the sake of it. Tears.)
Tears.
Was it that offending to her?
Why would she cry over something like that?
You should go inside.
I still want to see you off.
My gosh.
Honey, come home early today.
I'll cook you doenjang stew today.
Instead of doenjang, why don't we have royal hot pot?
"Royal hot pot"?
- I'll have someone cook it for us. - Okay.
What about the car I bought you yesterday?
I'll drive it once the new car smell is gone.
Okay. Have a good day.
Okay.
Jin Sang.
Are you sleeping?
I may have...
made some mistakes once in a while.
But...
I always did my best.
I put my all into this marriage.
But I can't believe you did this to me.
I never imagined that something like this...
would happen to me.
Honey, we're running out of time.
Just think of our happy future.
I never imagined that you'd do this to me.
My gosh.
Hey, what are you doing?
Why do you keep standing up and sitting back down?
Dad.
- Can you tie me down? - What?
Tie me to this chair.
Bring a rope and tie me down.
My gosh, that's enough. You're being absurd.
Are you happy now?
Remember that you asked me to tie you down.
Yes, I know.
- Who... - What?
Who is it?
It's Yeong Gu.
Can you help me take the call?
You're asking for too much.
I'm going to go now. You can deal with the rest.
Okay.
What do you want? I thought you wanted to cut ties.
What are you going to do?
You're going to get expelled.
What?
Your grades aren't good enough,
so the school is going to have you expelled.
I'm only letting you know because we used to be friends.
The school is also going to call your house tomorrow.
So you should apologize to Hae Jin.
But I bet she still won't forgive you.
Bye, then.
Does that mean...
I'll end up...
dying on this chair?
Just get a divorce.
And let's get married.
I'll give you a happy future.
I can do that for you.
I won't even have a college diploma anymore.
That's the only way for me to survive.
My gosh.
Darn it!
Why did he do such a good job of tying me down?
Why aren't you getting in the car?
What? I'll be right there.
I guess he really isn't going to stop me.
Goodbye, honey.
What are you doing?
Hey, can you please untie me?
- What? - Untie me!
Why?
What do you mean "why"?
Your brother is tied to a chair. Of course, you should untie me.
I'm sure there's a reason why you're tied to that chair.
I asked for it. I asked Dad to tie me down.
Then why do you want help?
What are you talking about?
I'm sure you had a good reason why you wanted him to tie you down.
My gosh, just hurry up and untie me!
No.
Jin Bong, do you want to die?
Now, I really don't want to untie you.
Hurry up and untie me! I'm running out of time!
That's your problem.
Jin Bong, are you kidding me?
What?
Jin Bong, you're a kind girl.
Can you please untie me?
For free?
What?
I like money.
My gosh.
Darn it.
I guess it's really goodbye now.
Yes, that's good.
Will you please hurry?
- You're going to pay me right? - Yes, I will.
You'd better keep your word.
Yes, keep going.
Untangle it. Yes, that's good.
Gosh, that hurts.
My gosh, it hurts so much.
Where do you think you're going?
I'll give it to you after I come back. Let me go.
You seriously expect me to trust you?
Will you please let me go?
My goodness, my nose! My nose!
Do you have any idea how much I had to pay for this nose?
My nose...
(Gaya Villa)
Ju Ri, I'm sure good things are waiting for you in the States.
Have a safe trip back.
Okay, Jeong Won.
Thank you for everything.
I'll miss you.
Me too, Ju Ri.
You should visit the States one day.
You're always welcome at our place.
We'll be off now. You should also go home.
Okay, call me once you land.
Bye.
Taxi! Taxi!
My gosh.
Darn it!
My gosh, why isn't she picking up?
Isn't that your phone?
What?
Your phone's been ringing for a while now.
(Honey)
What is it? Who's calling?
What's wrong?
- Hello? - Ju Ri! Where are you?
Ju Ri, don't go.
I'll get divorced.
I'll break up with my wife and marry you, so please don't go!
My goodness, that's...
That's Jin Sang.
What's the matter? Who is it?
Mom.
I can't go to the States.
I mean, I'm not going to go.
What?
Ju Ri! Ju Ri!
Ju Ri!
- This one? - Hey, Baek Su.
Is your son getting a divorce?
What are you talking about?
"I'll break up with my wife, so please don't go!"
I heard him yelling that over the phone earlier.
What?
That's absurd. I'm sure you were mistaken.
I tied him to a chair before I came outside.
My gosh.
Why wouldn't I be able to recognize your son?
It was definitely him. My goodness.
What the...
What? What do you mean?
He's getting expelled?
Okay, I understand.
The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.
What was that about?
Mom, I need to go to Jin Sang's school.
"Expelled"? What is that?
It means the school no longer think of him as their student.
So the school decided to kick him out?
- Pretty much. - My goodness!
My gosh, I can't believe Jin Sang got himself in trouble again!
What in the world did he do to get kicked out of school?
His wife has already paid a fortune for his tuition!
My goodness, this is so frustrating!
Your daughter's husband is a student?
What? How did you know that?
That's what you just said.
I wasn't going to tell you because I felt so embarrassed.
But that darn Jin Sang...
His name is already a disgrace but so are his actions.
I bet I'll die early because of him.
Everyone in his family puts Hae Jin in charge of everything.
He's always busy saying he needs to study...
for the civil service exam.
But civil service exam, my foot.
I can't believe Hae Jin is naive enough to get fooled by him.
And don't get me started on his family.
They must think of Hae Jin as a slave or something.
They make her do all sorts of things for them.
My goodness.
And they act like they have the upper hand...
just because that useless punk is a son.
I have a son who's 100 times better than Jin Sang,
but I'll never treat my future daughter-in-law like that.
What?
Your son isn't married?
What are you talking about? He doesn't even have a girlfriend.
What?
My goodness, I can't believe this.
What am I going to do with that punk?
My goodness.
My gosh, I feel so frustrated.
That wasn't her brother.
Her husband...
That was her husband.
Hey, lady.
Guys really hate women like you.
Why would your brother be any different?
Don't get offended by what I just said...
and be good to your husband.
You should be grateful that he's willing to stay married.
Judging by your temper, your husband will definitely cheat.
My gosh.
I...
I had no idea that it was her husband.
(Wanna Taste?)
You're going to tell her today that you want a divorce, right?
Yes, let's strike the iron while it's hot.
What is it that you want to tell me?
If she finds out that he went around yelling that he's...
- going to get a divorce... - What?
Please let's get divorced.
Can we please get a divorce?
- It's time to get off. - Don't be so scared.
I'll stand up straight once the doors open.
