Once upon a time,

about 13 years ago...

Look at the camera. One, two...

there lived a harmonious family in Cheongnam Village,

a place where everyone was happy.

You should choose one. Just grab one before you go to sleep.

Just grab one and sleep.

- Min Seo, what is all this? - All right.

- What? - No, wait.

What is this?

Soo Jung, the warm-hearted and generous mother.

Bo Sung, the upright and affectionate father.

And Min Seo, the lovely daughter who brings joy with her adorable tricks.

The family of three trusted and relied only on each other...

and lived happily together.

I can see you tomorrow after clinic hours.

You're my dear VIP client. What are you talking about?

Dinner?

That's great. Then...

Tomorrow...

There's a wine bar I like near the clinic.

I feel like having cream pasta there.

Min Seo.

Who is this lady?

Dad's friend.

(Cheongnam Couple Dermatology Clinic)

Why didn't you just call me a hundred more times?

Please.

You know I cut ties with Eun Gyeong.

You are the one who didn't want a divorce.

Then just pretend you don't know and live with it!

What do you want me to do now?

Are you listening to me?

I'm so sick and tired of this.

Let me breathe, okay? Sign this.

(Application for Confirmation of Agreement to Divorce)

Go inside.

Let's go.

No, Schweitzer!

- Move out of the way. - Not my Schweitzer.

He's my baby. I adopted him. Move.

- Don't take Schweitzer from me. - It's okay.

(Medical School Admissions Roadmap for Middle School Students)

(Arts High School Admission Exam Strategy Seminar)

I told you not to go through my room.

Did you get consultation for arts high school without telling me?

You can draw as much as you want as a hobby.

I told you this isn't a hobby.

How many times do I have to tell you? I...

I'm just worried about you, Min Seo.

It was hard enough getting you into the medical school prep class.

What if you fall behind in class...

I'm already dead last in the class!

I'm not that good at studying.

No.

That's impossible. You are my daughter.

I told you. I was always at the top of my class in school.

This is what I want to do!

Dad says he understands me.

He tells me to do whatever I want, but why are you like this?

You're suffocating me!

I'm going to live with Dad.

I can't do this.

Do you think your dad would really take you in if you went to him now?

Do you not remember?

Don't you remember how he just ran off with Schweitzer...

when he left this house?

Well... No.

Yesterday, I went too far...

No.

I'm sorry about yesterday. But you...

I was just...

Min Seo.

Min Seo! Wait.

Min Seo.

Are you sure you don't want a ride?

- Hello. - Hello.

(The Affair Was Just The Beginning)

(Episode 2: The Woman Across the Road)

This is nice.

Is this really that good for skin elasticity?

It's great for volume and elasticity.

Once you get this procedure,

you'll see the difference right away.

I need a different kind of volume to improve, though.

- Does this feel all right? - Yes.

By the way, are you going to keep your clinic open?

Pardon?

I got a text message from Dr. Joo yesterday...

Oh dear. Did I say something I shouldn't have?

- I'll continue. - Okay.

Yes, I'm a die-hard crew member.

Ever since you had only 10 subscribers.

- Is that so? - I've even bought all your merch every time.

- That's crazy. Since 10 subscribers? - Yes.

If you bring Captain Park along,

I'll sneak you a little extra service without the director knowing.

- That sounds great. - You should come with her.

- I will. - Hello.

Oh, hello.

My goodness.

You give off a totally different vibe in your doctor's coat.

Oh, right.

This is Ryu Ji Su.

Hello.

Hello.

Ji Su, this is the clinic director who lives across the road.

She looks so gorgeous.

I really talked you up big time.

I see.

(Honey)

Hi, honey.

Yes.

What?

I see.

Of course.

Yes. Hang on a second.

- It's over. Thank you. - Thank you.

My pleasure.

Bu Jin, finish up the care for Ms. Ryu.

Sure.

Wait. Dr. Ahn.

What?

There's something I need to show you.

Apparently, Dr. Joo texted all our patients,

making it look like our clinic is closing down.

And he's opening a new clinic in the neighbouring complex...

(Fire hydrant)

What are you up to?

Why are you spreading fake news to the patients?

How about Kang Tae Han?

He's a top-tier star. She'd be thrilled.

How would I bring him along?

He must have a dermatology clinic he goes to.

- He can switch clinics this time. - What?

Anyway, Hong, do whatever it takes to bring him along.

Okay. I'll try to talk to him.

All right. You have to, okay?

Fine.

You're the one who played dirty first.

You changed the passcode to the second house without telling me.

Do you have any idea what kind of spot you put me in?

Why?

Did you try taking another woman there again?

I'm going to claim custody, just so you know.

- Excuse me... - You're the one who abandoned Min Seo.

How dare you talk about custody after all this?

Min Seo says she wants to live with me.

Whatever. I'm hanging up.

What? What's wrong with this?

What's wrong?

What's with this thing?

Hello.

What were you doing? Eavesdropping on someone's call?

I wasn't eavesdropping.

I was up here talking on the phone first.

Then you should've at least made your presence known.

I was going to say hi earlier, but...

Fire...

There's a fire.

Wait, it's dangerous. Don't get too close.

Hang on. What is this?

Wait. What did you put in there?

Here.

When you put out a fire, you're supposed to cut off the oxygen supply.

What is this?

It could've been bad.

Thank you.

Where are you putting out the fire anyway?

There. You're good.

By the way, I know I might sound too nosy,

but about your husband...

He's also a parent himself.

How can he use his own child to threaten you like that?

Unbelievable.

In cases like this, you should sue him all the way to the end.

You just have to bleed him dry and take everything you can.

Thanks. I'll make sure to bleed him dry.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

This is Mr. Kang Tae Han.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello. I'm Kang Tae Han.

I really enjoy your work. Nice to meet you.

After the treatment, could we maybe take a picture...

- I'd love to. - You don't mind?

- Of course not. I can do that. - Thank you.

Let's take a selfie together.

One, two.

- Hello. - Hello.

Oh, this is mine.

- Oh, hello. - Hello.

- This is mine. I'll take one more later. - Okay.

- This is Mr. Kang Tae Han. - Yes.

- Hello. I'm Kang Tae Han. - She's the director.

- Hello. - Director.

I'll take a picture with you after the treatment.

Okay.

(Love today's outfit)

My goodness.

This looks really neat.

Anyway,

you two look so great together.

But don't you feel a little nervous?

I saw Ye Ji's dad at the clinic, and he still seemed so popular.

- That's not true. - It's good to be popular. He's an actor.

I saw Ryu Ji Su call him affectionately...

and not hesitate to make physical contact.

My goodness! You should've been careful.

What do we do? I'm so sorry.

It splattered all over the furniture.

The furniture is fine.

But it got on your clothes. You should go clean it off.

- Gosh, it's all over here. - It's okay. Are you not hurt?

- No. I'm fine. - Gosh, seriously...

- So, where... - Over that way.

- Okay. - At the end of the hallway.

What do we do with this?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Careful.

- Let me do it. - Be careful.

Sure.

Something always seems to happen whenever we meet.

I guess so.

If this keeps up, maybe next time,

we'll literally run into each other.

- Oh my, you cut yourself here. - What?

- It's okay. - Would you like to go to the guest room?

We have a first-aid kit there.

The cut isn't deep, but it could still get infected.

You think so?

It will sting.

I... I need to finish dressing it...

Right. You should dress the wound.

- Are you all right... - What?

Hey.

- Why are you coming out of there? - Well...

I cut my finger a bit earlier.

Let me see.

I'm fine.

- Look at the bandage. - It got all crumpled up.

It's quite deep, right?

There. All done.

Oh, right.

I'll try to set up a meeting with Michelle.

Neighbours should help each other out, right?

(Autonomous Driving Mode)

(Please take the wheel.)

We almost crossed into the afterlife.

That scared me.

Honey.

That could've been dangerous.

(Are you having a good time with Michelle?)

(No, she's not here yet.)

(Really? She's not usually one to be late.)

(I miss you.)

Min Seo.

What are you doing there?

What?

Are you going to tear it up again?

(I wish I could eat this with you.)

(But what I really want to eat...)

(is you. You know that, right?)

It's still chilly here.

Go inside and draw.

(Courtroom 416)

Today is just a formality to verify a few details.

Hello. It's been a while.

Hello. I'm Choi Sang Cheol, representing your husband.

Hello.

This is going to be a headache.

Why?

It's just that...

he calls himself a lawyer,

yet he always plays dirty outside the courtroom.

You're here.

You're early.

I left early because of the traffic.

As I mentioned, it shouldn't take long today.

- I'm worried. - What?

Apparently, the lawyer named Choi Sang Cheol...

routinely uses illegal recordings and tailing.

He's not just a lawyer. He's more like a third-rate thug.

Really?

Then you need to play tough right back.

To deal with guys like him...

Oh, right.

Do you want me to introduce you to a private detective agency?

I don't think I need to go that far.

I mean, even when he was living with you,

he cheated on you more than once or twice.

If we dig up some dirt on him,

we will find out something.

- You know Park and Jeong, right? - Yes.

They're supposed to be top-tier among divorce law firms.

When my boss got divorced,

she naively trusted their reputation and left everything to them,

only to almost lose her apartment, her son, and everything.

At the very last minute, just in case,

she hired a private detective agency as a last resort, and...

- Gosh, it's hot. - I'm sorry.

Was it hot?

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Anyway, she hired a private detective agency...

to quietly dig up dirt on her husband,

and that took care of everything immediately.

What do you think?

Should I get you their number?

It's okay. Don't worry about it too much.

You must be overwhelmed with all those rumours around you.

I know.

Why did I end up in a dating scandal with Ryu Ji Su?

That's just ridiculous.

Right.

Is it done?

You look pretty.

I really like this part.

Who is this? LIV? ZENI?

It's ZENA, not ZENI.

I see.

Mom.

Do you need money?

What?

Why do you ask?

You've been using that second-hand marketplace app a lot lately.

What? Gosh, no.

Well...

I like your ring. Did your dad give it to you?

Yes.

Mom, did something good happen lately?

No. Why?

You seem like you're in a good mood.

I see. It's just that...

I think you're in a good mood lately,

so that makes me...

happy.

(Lim Ye Ji: Is something going on at your house?)

(Now, in front of your place...)

What? What is it?

What...

Why are there police here?

She's saying she wants to die.

If this isn't abuse, then what is?

Hurry and come over here.

She is a child abuser, so please arrest her right away.

Separate her from the child.

Wait. Hang on a second.

Child abuse?

How brazen you are.

Sir, please come down first.

Can we talk to Min Seo for a moment?

We just need to ask a few questions.

What...

Did you go to your dad again?

Why didn't you tell me?

Mom.

I just...

You could've told me directly.

That I watch you, tear up your drawings, and suffocate you...

You...

You didn't have to make him hear that.

That was...

I didn't even know Dad was recording it.

I didn't know he'd use what I said like this.

Still, I explained to the police that it was all in the past...

and that I'm doing fine these days,

- so you'll be fine. - It's not fine at all, Min Seo!

It's...

What else did you tell your dad about me?

What did you say for that lawyer to be acting so triumphant,

saying there's more than enough evidence of abuse?

What is it, Min Seo?

All right.

Min Seo.

When your dad left home,

how hurt were you back then? Tell me.

Or how indifferent he was when you were little?

Or anything else he did wrong?

Just feel free to spill it all. You can tell me, right?

Why aren't you saying anything?

You say so many bad things about me, yet you talk about your dad...

Please!

You two are the ones getting a divorce.

But why are you doing this to me?

I thought you were being nice to me lately, but you're still the same.

(I came here to pick up Min Seo.)

(You must be tired, honey. I miss you.)

(Can you look into the private detective agency you mentioned?)

Bonggak-dong 21.

What?

What is this?

Why isn't it coming up?

Hey, you're here.

This is strange.

Bonggak-dong 21. Why isn't it coming up on the GPS?

It's not?

(Please enter the name, initials, phone number, or address.)

Bonggak-dong 21.

This address is for a road that no longer exists.

- What? - Would you like route guidance based on the old address?

Yes. Go ahead.

- It's here. - Starting route guidance.

It's not that far from here.

- Really? - Yes.

- Put your seatbelt on first. - Okay.

(Bonggak-dong 21, Yongun)

(We strongly object to reckless redevelopment.)

(With house prices plummeting, residents are weeping.)

I can't be getting recognised in a place like this.

Okay. I understand.

Hello. How can I help you?

Oh, hello.

I heard about this place.

I see.

Please take a seat here and wait.

(Manager Na Sol)

Hello.

Hello.

You called earlier, right?

- Yes. - Oh, well.

I heard the rough outline.

So you're fighting for custody against a cheating husband.

You need evidence,

but you don't want it to look like you hired a detective agency.

You know what?

The privacy laws are pretty strict these days,

so digging into someone isn't easy.

And even if we can't find any evidence,

you still have to pay the fee. Okay?

That's why we try to avoid taking on jobs that require a lot of work.

What?

Hang on.

I'm sorry, maybe next time...

Okay. Come back anytime.

What?

Wait a second. Wait.

Please hear me out before you leave.

- No, that's fine. - Like he said,

we don't usually take cases that require a lot of work,

but I hear your husband is a complete scumbag.

So we will make a special exception for you.

- No. - You know,

a lot of places calling themselves detective agencies...

end up ripping off their clients.

- Okay? - It's fine.

Don't regret it after losing your child to your darn husband.

Is there a way...

to win for sure?

Are you sure?

Well, we'll have to look for a way.

But usually,

things work out well, though it might cost a little more.

Right.

- Hello. - Why are you sitting here? You startled me.

- Did you eat? - Yes, I did.

(Gogo Used Goods)

(Congratulations on your first commercial!)

(Thanks. Ever since I met you, I feel like things are going well.)

Hello, Dr. Ahn. I was wondering...

Does my husband...

I mean...

Does he visit your clinic with Ryu...

Never mind. Have a nice day.

Bye.

(The day of the accident)

- Come visit. - What is this?

Come visit us. We'll take good care of you.

- Thank you. - What is this?

(Girls Always On Standby)

I'm not going. Forget it.

- We can go. - Let's just have a drink.

Open up.

Did you finish it or not?

- I finished it. - Did you?

Come here, Ji Yeong.

Gosh, no.

What's that?

I don't do this...

We'll serve you comfortably, Mr. Lawyer.

(Your husband's lawyer has a lot of shady business going on.)

(Let me talk to him and see if we can bring him over to our side.)

What...

Dr. Ahn, are you not going home?

You may go home now.

I'll get going then.

Bye.

Darn it. He's sleeping so well.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

What are you doing? What if people see us?

I sent all the staff home.

Really?

Good.

Hey, mister.

Wake up, okay?

Since you're a lawyer,

I don't need to explain much, do I?

- What... - I mean, she's a minor.

From illegal filming to sexual assault... My goodness.

She's not a minor. No.

- It's not sexual assault. - Look.

This is your phone.

As I was looking through this,

quite a few things looked suspicious.

I should've just caught you outright. It was a waste of effort.

Wait a second.

Hang on.

- Where are you going? - Wait.

- Where? - Wait.

How about we do this, sir? I'll give you money.

I'll do whatever you want.

This is actually worth hundreds of millions of won.

I've got my loyalty to my client, you know?

Who is your client?

That's none of your business.

You know who Joo Bo Sung is, right?

I hear you're doing something with his custody lawsuit.

If you lose the case nice and clean, I'll give this back to you.

What do you say?

What?

Lawyers never give a straight answer, do they?

All right.

Hey, Sang Cheol. Look over here.

There are no CCTVs here, and nobody comes by.

Whether I slice you into sashimi or boil you into soup,

no one will show up!

I was about to call you.

- I guess we read each other's minds. - You were?

The place you told me about last time.

It's a bit unusual, but they seem to be good at what they do.

- Really? - Yes.

That's good.

I was having such a hard time because of that.

I need to recharge now.

Now? Really?

Right here?

Ta-da!

What is this? You even prepared this?

This mint flavour tingles a bit, though.

So? Don't you like it?

I mean,

that's why I like it even more.

You darn punk.

So when I'm telling you nicely, you should get the message.

Is it hard to understand?

- I will lose the case. - Look at you.

- I'll lose the case. - Hey.

- I really need my phone. - Your phone?

- Please. - All right, then.

If you lose the case, I'll give this back to you.

You darn idiot! You scumbag!

You darn idiot!

You jerk!

You darn idiot!

Give me that, you moron.

You idiot! I'm going to kill you.

You darn scumbag!

You jerk.

You scumbag. If I catch you, you're dead.

I'm going to kill that idiot. Darn it.

(Min Seo's academy)

Seriously.

(Min Seo's academy)

(Accident occurred: March 30th, 9:04pm)

Yes. Please pull over right here.

Thank you.

What? Why is this open?

What?

What is this? Where did it go?

What? What's wrong with this?

What? Darn it!

Who did...

What...

What kind of jerk did this?

I can't believe this.

What on earth happened?

Ye Ji.

What's with my car?

Did you not hear anything?

Dad...

Min Seo.

What are you doing here? Why...

Mom.

If we go back there now, he might still be alive.

We have to go back quickly.

What are you talking about?

Explain it to me so I can understand.

What do I do?

Ye Ji.

What's wrong?

Is something wrong?

I...

No, I...

The thing is...

I...

I...

With your car, I...

We hit a man with his car.

Because of me...
