Let's break up.

Let's end this.

Let's end this now.

It's a contracted marriage anyway.

End of contract.

It's over.

What's gotten into you? Did something happen?

What's gotten into you?

Have you forgotten that we married under a contract?

We have to end the marriage if either one of us wants to.

The contract period is a year. We still have time left.

Shall I pay a cancellation fee? I'll pay if I have to.

I'm staying with my parents as of tomorrow.

Find a house as soon as you can and leave.

I'd like you to move out within a week.

But you can stay here until the end of the year.

I want to start the new year with a clean slate.

That's all I have to say.

You can speak if you have something to say.

Why are you doing this? What's the reason?

I don't want to live with you.

Why don't you want to live with me now?

I'm tired and sick of you.

Why have you decided to dislike me suddenly?

Why are you sick of me?

If you're going to stab me in the back like this...

You should at least tell me why.

Is it... Han Hyeryeong?

Yes, it's because of her.

I gave up the program.

- I quit "Together with Current Affairs." - You don't need to.

You can work again and meet Han Hyeryeong too.

I don't want to keep breaking your wings.

Why didn't you tell me so in the first place then?

Why are you doing this now? Is this a joke?

You met her at work today.

I saw you two walk past.

I'm not scolding you.

Don't bother with me. Just meet her confidently.

You have the right to do so.

This is a contracted marriage. If destiny comes your way...

We agreed you could meet her.

You don't need to be wary and hesitant.

Do I seem like a pushover?

Are you playing with me?

It's because I'm so pitiful.

I'm tired of protecting you in front of my parents.

Even if you don't mean it, you meet her at work.

I don't want to see you and Han Hyeryeong!

Even her mother comes to the office.

I can't keep pretending that I'm okay with it all.

It makes me feel dirty, offended and agitated.

I can't stand it.

I'm stuck in this third-grade love triangle.

I can't take it. It makes me mad.

I feel like I'm nothing more than an insect every single day.

- So let's end it. - Is that all you have to say?

What? Third-grade love triangle?

Look how hopeless the three of us are.

The two of you are really taking this to the end.

Hwang Taebeom has made Cha Suyeong a fool.

I'm not doing you any good, so let's end it!

Yes, you're right.

You haven't done me any good.

I handed in my letter of resignation and threw it all away.

How can you tell me to start work again now?

I told Han Hyeryeong my wife's in her 5th month. We can't meet.

I made it clear. Now what?

Meet her again?

Why say this after you've snapped my wings?

Why didn't you say so earlier?

I can't agree with you now.

Who says we can just end this contract?

Do I look that easy to you?

If you want to end it, do I have to agree?

If you're sick of me, step all over me as you go.

Do I look that stupid to you?

I can't. I can't break up.

I'm not leaving!

You can't end it in the middle.

We're together until the end of the period. Got it?

Do you understand?

I'll pay a cancellation fee. How much?

Cha Suyeong!

Do you really want to see me mad? Huh?

I like you, boss.

Let's go out.

Hwang Taepil, get out of my head.

Please disappear!

Nam Yeoul, you did the right thing.

He's Suyeong's brother-in-law. You did the right thing.

It's the best decision since you've made since your divorce.

You did well.

I don't. I have no intention of going out with you.

- Hello? - It's me.

I'm in front of your house. Please come out.

What? My house?

Why are you here at this hour?

I can't understand or accept it.

Why don't you like me?

Let's meet and talk.

That's your problem.

I don't think meeting me will solve that.

I told you how I feel.

If you feel that way, I have to fire you.

I'll transfer your pay to your account tomorrow.

I'm hanging up now.

How dare she ignore me?

I'm Hwang Taepil!

Taebeom!

Taepil!

She wants to break up?

Did you keep meeting Hyeryeong behind Suyeong's back?

What are you on about?

Then why did Suyeong say that to you?

She protected you in front of her parents at our place.

She says it's dirty.

She's tired of being in this third-grade love triangle.

Slow down. I'm sure Suyeong is really upset.

I'm a hundred more times upset than she is.

Does she think that she's training a dog?

Break up now? Work if I want to?

I handed in my letter of resignation already!

Does she know how much that role meant to me?

I gave that up!

It was so hard for me to give that up.

Slow down.

You should've quit before she told you to.

No wonder she has a grudge.

What?

Why did you marry under a contract anyway?

It's better to get divorced if it's unavoidable.

Only people like Sartre and Beauvoir do that.

If a man behaves like you...

Trying to find a way to escape, who would like that?

Plus, Suyeong's pregnant.

If you said you wanted to break up after a year...

She had no choice but to agree, right?

You took her flaw and used that to your advantage.

You gave yourself the upper hand.

- Taepil... - Even if that's not true...

I'm not even sure if you didn't intend it now...

Anyway, Suyeong must have felt ashamed and offended.

It was unfair from the start.

I'd break your wings and take my anger out on you.

- Taepil. - What's wrong with you?

Taepil, you...

Did something happen today?

You were meeting her too.

You kept bumping into Han Hyeryeong by coincidence.

Why don't you answer me?

I didn't keep meeting her as if by chance!

Don't call her Han Hyeryeong! She's years older than you!

This is why Suyeong says she wants to break up.

In the same space, the same building as Han Hyeryeong...

Just breathing the same air bothers Suyeong!

You don't even reflect. You're so stubborn.

She's mad. That's why she's taking out on you.

Hwang Taepil...

- Taesik... - Yes?

Taehui... What's wrong with him?

I like you, but you get mad when others don't agree.

That's the matter with smart people like you.

The same goes for you.

You think you're being righteous and strong-willed...

Don't drag me into it.

You should start listening to other people's opinions now.

Go and beg Suyeong.

Beg as though you committed a terrible crime.

Why do you act so good? Suyeong's too good for you.

Taepil, did something happen today?

I said no!

What on earth is a contracted marriage?

- Talk about cowardly. - Cowardly?

What did you say?

Hey! Hey!

Let's just drink. Here.

Grandma, are you awake?

Yes, come in.

What's that?

Red bean bread. You like it.

You're sweet. Thanks.

Who's that, grandma?

Taehui's father.

Not Changsik, Changhun. My second son.

The one who passed away...

Yes.

Isn't he handsome?

Yes, he is.

He looks a lot like Taehui.

Of course he does. He's exactly the same.

Taehui's not as good-looking as his father though.

He was so smart too.

He shouldn't have gone so early.

I will go and meet him soon.

I bet he's been waiting for me a long time.

Grandma, don't say that.

Think of my age.

It wouldn't be strange if I went tomorrow.

I have no more regrets about this life.

The past was a burden.

The days I have left have to be light like feathers.

That will let me go in peace.

But just one thing.

I want Taehui to meet a good woman before I go.

That's the only thing I wish for.

I guess Changsik and Bokja can take care of that.

You're such a big baby.

You look like you'll cry right away.

You act as though I will go first thing tomorrow.

Grandma, don't say that even if it's a joke.

Alright. I won't.

You're such a baby.

A big baby.

Grandma, shall I massage your shoulders?

- Do you know how to do that? - Sure.

I did it for my dad all the time.

I was his masseuse.

Okay.

Dad said I have strong fingers.

How is it? Refreshing?

Yes, it feels good.

Where do you get the strength? Your fingers are so slender.

It feels great.

I'll do it for you often if you like.

Yes, okay. Thanks.

Taehui asked about your brother's accident?

Out of nowhere.

How Changhun passed away 26 years ago.

What did you tell him? Get the pillows for me.

I told him the truth.

That the investigation wasn't conducted properly.

Why did you tell him that?

- He's bound to look into it. - I hope he does.

I'd love him to catch the criminal.

How can he catch him? It was 26 years ago.

If mother hears, it will just bother her terribly.

She'll get upset. Don't say a word.

You're right. I didn't think of that.

I just thought it'd be good for Taehui to catch them with his own hands.

Mister!

Did you go out last night?

- Yes. - Are you free for lunch?

- I'll pack lunch and visit. - Okay.

See you at lunch then.

Hey, you know last night...

- What? - Why is your face so red?

- Are you hot? - No, I'm okay.

It can't be hot in the middle of winter.

What were you thinking about?

Don't read into things. I didn't think about anything!

- What do you want? - Huh?

Wait... Why did I come here?

I can't remember.

I'll come back when I do.

I understand. It's hard being in the same house, right?

Hey!

What's with him?

Guksu, let's have breakfast.

- Is everyone here? - Yes, mother.

- Let's all eat. - Thank you for the meal.

Guksu is going to school today!

- Today? - Yes, grandma.

You're going to school at last!

Guksu, congratulations.

What would you like as your entrance gift?

Me too. Isn't there anything you need?

What do you mean gifts...

He just needs a desk, chair, bed... Things like that.

Looks like your dad wants to fill up your entire room.

Isn't it good news, mother?

Yes, it's a pleasant morning.

I heard he did well in his exams too.

Yes.

This is his exam paper.

You still have that?

Have it laminated and put it in a frame.

Guksu, you got 100%? You're a genius.

I told you.

He doesn't seem like Taesik's son at all.

Give me some water.

Okay.

By the way... What's happening with Taebeom?

- Did he call? - Not yet.

He would've called if the in-laws forgave him.

Changsik and I want to visit them later.

They'll be angry after hearing about the contracted marriage.

We should take a look at Taebeom's place too.

That's a good idea. They came last time.

This time, you should go.

Yes, I'm going to take some kimchi.

I don't know if kimchi will comfort Suyeong's mother.

She came with his things to get them divorced.

I was so shocked that day.

- Do you like it? - Yes.

Let's see.

Do you like it?

Let's see.

You didn't cut your nails.

I'll cut them for you later tonight.

Yes.

Shall we go?

You can do it!

This is our new friend.

Guksu, say hello.

Yes.

Hello, my name's Hwang Guksu.

I came to Korea after living in the Philippines.

My skin's dark as my mom's Filipino and dad's Korean.

My skin's a little different, but I'm Korean just like you.

I'm glad to meet you all. Let's be good friends.

Guksu introduced himself very well, didn't he?

- Yes. - Any questions for Guksu?

- Me! - Me!

Let's see. Seongbeom first.

How did you learn Korean?

From my mom.

Anyone else? Who else?

Yeongtak.

Do you know "Girls' Generation?"

Yes, my friend, Hana, told me about them.

I know "Super Junior" as well.

I see. Give him a clap!

Who wants to be his buddy?

- Me! - Guksu's so popular.

Taesik!

You know Hana. Want to sit with Hana?

- Does Yeongtak want to? - Kim Misuk?

- Okay. - They're in the same class.

That's good.

Taesik, Guksu looks handsome with his new haircut.

Was he that handsome?

- You should've cut it earlier. - I know.

You should get dressed up more often too.

You look pretty today.

Really? I take care when I come to see the teacher.

Hana wants me to look nice when I come to school.

Suyeong, let's go to work together.

We're late. Let's eat on the way.

How about panini? There's a place...

Suyeong?

Suyeong... Suyeong?

Suyeong...

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Hello, Team Leader Cha.

Yes, it's Cha Suyeong.

Goodness, hello.

I was reading about your case victory.

Excuse me?

Yes, I'll go right away.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'll go over right now.

Cha Suyeong, good news?

Congressman Jin's ex-wife wants to do an interview.

We were planning her interview for the last special...

She disappeared on us and it was cancelled.

She wants to do it again.

Kim Seonok? That's great.

The general manager of UBC couldn't get the interview 2 days ago.

Congratulations, Team Leader!

- That's great news. - Congratulations.

- Congratulations. - You've scored a scoop.

- Congratulations, Team Leader Cha. - Congratulations.

You've done well.

Congratulations.

Wait... Grab a camera.

Where is she? Shall we take my car?

Excuse me? You want to come too?

Of course. This is a really important interview.

I'm going too.

I'll go with her.

We prepared the interview together last time.

I was upset that it was cancelled in the middle.

I want to succeed this time with Team Leader Cha.

It's okay. I'll go with Department Head Gong.

You take care of covering the central office.

She's at Mapo. Let's go now.

Okay.

Let's go.

See you later.

They seem so close, don't they?

What is this?

What's that?

- A mother's diary? - Team Leader Cha!

I have no intention of going out with you.

So I'm firing you now.

I'll give you the results over the phone.

- Yes, alright. - Goodbye.

Hwang Taepil, what are you doing here?

I'm here to do an interview for the new manager role.

Are you joking? I told you you were fired yesterday.

I'm not joking.

I'm here to start over.

I totally got over you as of yesterday.

You don't have to worry.

How is that possible? How can feelings change...

That's how I am. I don't cling to women who don't like me.

It's embarrassing. I don't do that.

There are a lot of women out there and they like me.

You threw away a good catch.

I won't cling to you, so let me work again.

I like this job.

I want to live out my dream with you here.

I want to keep the promise I made to your mother.

We have to make double sales in 3 months.

Why don't you answer?

Do you have feelings for me?

Not at all.

Then let me work here.

I really don't like you.

I don't feel a thing anymore.

The head office meeting's at 3. We don't have time.

Alright then. You can work here.

But don't cross the line.

If you do, I will never see you again.

- That won't happen. - The owner and the manager...

- Nothing more, nothing less. - Of course.

No personal favors either.

No helping and no receiving help either.

Okay, is that all?

I'll work hard, boss.

The new goods have arrived. Arrange those first.

- Hey, let's arrange them. - Okay.

Sir, have this.

It's okay, you eat up.

Okay then.

Was it a little out of focus?

Cha Suyeong, good work.

Hey, Reporter Kim!

Did you finish the interview?

Let me buy you lunch to congratulate you.

See you at Mulan at 1 p.m.

- Cha Suyeong! - I'm coming.

- Can I try them on? - Yes, of course.

A bottle of non-alcoholic champagne too please.

Didn't I bring a lot?

Why'd you bring so much?

Here.

Eat up!

What is this? This is enough to feed a football team!

Why did you bring so much?

Here, drink this. Don't choke on your food.

Sorry.

Where are you?

Call me.

The number you have called is currently unavailable.

Leave your message...

How about from here?

Wait... Rewind it again.

Why are you standing there?

Come in if you want to or...

Sir!

Team Leader Cha, is it true?

You got an interview with Congressman Jin's ex-wife?

- Yes, sir. - It was so touching.

Team Leader Cha did a great job.

Now you're back to being the legendary Cha Suyeong.

Good work.

You can look forward to the restructuring next week.

Thank you, sir.

Don't think I've forgiven you as I didn't accept your resignation.

How could you disappoint me and betray me like this?

I'm sorry.

Let's see it.

- Yes, sir. - Play it for me.

I'll skip the first part. You can watch from here.

Okay.

He met another woman a year after we wed.

Since then, it was like we were separated.

He verbally abused me whenever he was drunk.

I wanted to break up but the children...

I lived for the children.

- A case from 26 years ago? - Yes.

A hit-and-run at Chundong Road in November, 1985.

The victim's name was Hwang Changhun.

We won't have records from 26 years ago.

I know that.

The hit-and-run at Chundong Road in 1985?

Yes. Do you remember it?

Of course I do. It was my case.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Lieutenant Hwang Taehui of the eastern office.

I see.

I'd like to hear what you remember about the case.

I took over near the end. I don't remember anything.

Detective Bong was the one who investigated it.

He may remember, but I don't.

Where is Detective Bong now?

He retired a long time ago.

Can I get his number then?

I don't know it.

Is there anyone who might?

Let's go.

Why did you come here?

I'll tell you next time.

We're late. Let's go.

You're so secretive these days.

Eat up.

Eat up!

You made this all yourself?

Yes. Mrs. Hwang went out today.

I can't guarantee the taste, but you have to eat it all.

I spent 3 hours making this.

Thanks.

How is it?

It's good.

What a relief.

It's green tea.

Have a fried tofu roll too.

This is bulgogi.

I wanted to ask you this. Why do you call me mister?

You don't address Taepil as your senior.

He and I aren't even a year apart.

You told me to call you mister.

I did? When?

The second time we met I asked you,

"Should I drop the honorifics? Or call you Detective? Mister?"

And you said, "Whatever you want except don't drop the honorifics."

Don't you remember that?

I remember.

Hurry up and eat.

Where did mom go?

She said she'd go visit the in-laws.

That's right. Is grandma alone?

Mister, don't you want to eat?

Of course I do.

It's good.

Have the bulgogi too.

Jaeun! When did you arrive?

I haven't seen you in ages.

Come here and eat with us.

Well then...

We can't.

We have to get back to work.

Enjoy yourselves then.

Okay, see you next time.

Yes... Let's go.

I would like you to help.

Lieutenant Hwang doesn't want to face me at all.

I have something of mother's that I must deliver to him...

What's wrong? Is something on your mind?

No, nothing.

You look as though you have something to say.

Mister, can I talk to you about Producer Kim?

I'd rather you didn't.

I see.

Okay, then...

It's nothing.

Eat up.

Okay.

Producer Kim, I can't tell Mister about his mother.

I think it will take time.

I'm sorry I can't help.

Come out, Im Jaeseong! Come out...

Here you are.

How did you know we were here?

Want some crucian carp bread?

Get out, please.

This is an illegal disturbance of official duties.

- Get out now. - Arrest me if you want.

Detective Seo, do you like these?

Mr. Kim Jeha.

I said get out.

Taehui, he's coming out!

Wait until he gets in the car.

Hey! Run!

You get Kim Donggeon!

Hey!

Stop!

Who could that be?

- Who is it? - Are you up?

Our in-laws are here.

Who?

Taebeom's parents are here.

Tell them I'm not home.

I already opened the door. Get up.

What?

- I mean it. - No way.

- It's true. - Really?

Taebeom.

Something as shocking as Kim Seongyong and Kang Chaeri's secret wedding

has happened at IBC.

Team Leader Cha is in her 5th month of pregnancy.

- Who said so? - You can't believe it, right?

But it's the truth.

How do I know? I saw her baby diary.

The rumors about her being pregnant were true.

Who's the father? Department Head Gong?

Then did they...

Shut your mouth!

What's gotten into you? Why are you mad?

It's her private life.

She must be hiding it for a good reason.

Do you have to tell everyone?

Plus, she's your team leader.

There's no need to get so mad.

Just stay quiet and shut that mouth of yours.

Your mouth!

Did you hear? Team Leader Cha's in her 5th month.

- Goodness. - The father's Department Head Gong.

If that's true, Cha Suyeong has turned her life around.

What did she do in her past life to gain such fortune?

It's true. I heard it.

Hello.

We're all here. The newsletter team's late.

- Is she really pregnant? - Who's the father?

- It's already been 5 months. - 5 months?

I heard Team Leader Cha is 5 months pregnant.

No way! As if!

- I heard it all. - Her 5th month?

- Department Head Gong's. - Really? It's his baby?

- It's true. - No way.

Everyone knows.

She has a baby diary. It's really detailed.

Let it go, Cha Suyeong. The restructuring's next week.

Let it go.

This is a real scoop.

Is Department Head Gong really the father?

Good for her.

Team Leader Cha...

Is my wife!

We got married last September.

We're husband and wife.

She's pregnant with my child.

So don't suspect her and create rumors.

Get up. Let's go, Suyeong.

This is a real scoop!

I had no idea. Goodness.

Are you crazy? Why did you say that?

What gives you the right to say that?

What do you mean by that?

Rumors were spreading about you.

You were being slandered. Should I have just watched?

Don't you think I felt abused?

But the internal restructuring is next week.

That's why I kept it a secret until now.

Why now?

Why did you have to tell them yourself?

Yes, that's why I let you do as you wished until now.

But you shouldn't hide it in a situation like today!

You were being misunderstood and talked about.

That still doesn't give you the right to speak for me.

You have nothing to do with me now.

What?

Don't think I didn't mean it when I said let's break up.

I really want to end this.

It wasn't because I was mad. I really meant it.

I'm going to end this. I'm breaking up with you!

Why? What did I do that's so wrong?

Tell me. What did I do that's so wrong?

Meeting Hyeryeong again after 3 years?

Being indifferent?

Not going to see the doctor with you?

Not giving the baby a name?

Tell me.

Answer me!

Cha Suyeong! Team Leader Cha!

What did I do that's so wrong?

If you're going to turn me into a hopeless fool...

At least tell my why!

What you did wrong...

The only thing you did wrong...

Is that you don't love me.

Because I love you...

I can't keep up this kind of married life.

I can't do it. I can't stand it.

I don't want to keep getting hurt.

That's your only fault.

So let's end this now.

I want to gather myself from the ruins.

I want to focus on loving myself.

I want to love me.

I clung to you because I liked you from the start.

I'm sorry that I liked you.

I turned you into a bad person.

I'm sorry.

This marriage...

Let's end it.
