There's a golden time to sex too.

Golden time?

There's no such thing in a relationship.

(1 year earlier, Man-sik's birthday) -There is.

When you miss that golden time, you become just friends.

If you don't?

You get married

or you have an affair.

Then that means when married individuals have friends of the opposite genders,

they missed the golden time

based on what you're saying.

You could say that.

Men and women cannot have a relationship that's 100% based on friendship.

Then I guess if you don't miss your golden time and you sleep with her,

you'll marry the woman.

I don't know about that.

I'm not getting married again to have sex.

I'll have to consider my options.

Or I could just remain single forever.

Just don't get married again!

We can't bear to see another poor woman married to you again!

That's right! You're successful so just remain single!

What did that poor woman ever do to deserve you?

That's why you should've met and married a perfect woman like I did!

She's perfect in every single way.

What's with you?

Why? I only stated the facts.

Does anybody disagree that my Jung-hae is perfect?

No, sir!

No, sir!

Then I guess you love Jung-hae because she's perfect, Goong-chul.

She became perfect to me because I love her.

Then what about Hae-sook?

Why did you love Hae-sook?

You idiot.

You're talking the far past.

I can't ever remember.

It's so hot.

Goodness.

I heard it wasn't just Goong-chul. I heard everybody was in love with her.

It's her, right? The one you said was everybody's first love.

Honey, what's going on?

You said I was your first love!

Did you lie to me?

It wasn't a lie!

I just had some feelings for her at the time!

You're the first one I dedicated my body and heart to, Eun-sil.

Oh, right.

Didn't you say that woman killed a professor and went into hiding?

Honey...

You said that whole school was turned upside-down at the time.

(Episode 2)

(Episode 2: That Woman)

(Cheon Man-sik)

I...

I realized something through this.

What did you realize?

What do you think?

You don't know when you'll die.

So I realized I should do what I love until I die.

Hey, you're able to do whatever you want.

I'm the one who realized that I shouldn't live like this.

So how are you going to live your life?

I'll have to start thinking about it.

The important thing is that I won't live like Man-sik did!

Right?

All he did was work his butt off his whole life.

I was dying of frustration throughout the funeral!

How could his parents and siblings worry about money at the funeral?

Nobody was genuinely sad! How can you call them family?

There was a person who was genuinely sad.

That woman.

She was sobbing her heart out.

Goodness!

Who is she? Why is she sobbing like that?

Doesn't that woman seem fishy?

You're being ridiculous.

Hey.

Is that woman family?

How can you say that?

What if she really is family?

Why would she cry like that if she wasn't family?

Now that you mention it, she was really sobbing her heart out.

Did you see Myeong-sook's face?

She looked so scary.

How could we not?

I was so nervous that something might happen.

Hey, you didn't know who she was either, right?

Man-sik never introduced her to you, right?

You crazy fool.

(Park Min-young)

(Kim Jae-won)

Excuse me.

I'm sorry but how did you know my husband?

We were just...

...acquaintances.

Excuse me.

I'll never forgive him.

(Life Insurance Contract)

Anyways, Man-sik had life insurance, right?

He had a few.

But he canceled all of them last month.

He did?

He said he needed to use the money urgently.

Even though he knew he was taking a loss, he canceled them.

If I knew this was going to happen, I would've done my best to stop him.

Of all the bad luck!

Myeong-sook probably knows, right?

Probably not.

He asked me to keep it a secret from her multiple times.

I wondered why he needed the money to even cancel his insurance.

It's obvious.

What's obvious.

He canceled the contracts even though he was taking a loss

and he asked to keep this a secret from Myeong-sook.

Isn't it obvious?

I asked you what's obvious.

He used it on that woman.

That woman?

Oh, that woman!

I never thought Man-sik would do that.

He's bold!

How could he cancel his life insurance for a woman?

You guys may not know this

but it takes quite a bit of money to live with a pretty, young woman.

It probably applies to a lover too.

That's enough!

Did you see him?

Did you see Man-sik date that woman?

Did you see him give that woman his insurance money?

No...

To be honest,

what I'm really curious about isn't that woman.

It's Hae-sook.

-You're right! Baek Hae-sook! -Baek Hae-sook! Amazing!

How do you think Hae-sook heard about the funeral?

What's wrong with you guys?

I saw her for the first time in a while yesterday too.

It's Hae-sook, right?

It is. It is.

She's Hae-sook, right?

I guess time doesn't stop for anybody.

You guys are all old men now.

20 years isn't a short period of time.

But you're still the same, Hae-sook.

You haven't changed at all.

Of course, I changed.

I have fat and wrinkles everywhere.

How did you hear about the funeral?

Your number isn't registered in the alumni association.

Oh, right.

Goong-chul's the one who called everybody.

Have you been in contact with Hae-sook all these years?

No.

How did you hear about the funeral?

I don't know.

Maybe Man-sik contacted me.

I should go now.

-Already? -Already?

No, you don't have to see me off.

Goong-chul.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

I just need a minute.

Okay.

Then why did Hae-sook ask to talk to you privately?

You two talked for a long time.

What did you talk about?

We didn't talk much.

We just talked about how we've been and where we live.

How has she been? Where does she live?

She's probably married.

What does her husband do for a living?

How many kids does she have?

I don't know either.

Why don't you know? You said you asked her.

I asked her but she talked about something else.

Something else? What was it?

It's been a really, really long time since we saw each other!

Yes,

It's really been a while.

How have you been? Are you well?

I've been good.

I'm very healthy.

That's good.

Anyways, how did you hear the news?

Were you keeping in contact with someone?

Is that important?

How I heard the news?

It's not important. I'm just curious.

If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to tell me.

I came to see someone.

I came to see you.

I should go.

Hae-sook.

I know I shouldn't.

But for some strange reason,

I missed you.

That's why I came.

Jeez!

I told you it was nothing!

I'm more curious about what you and Hae-sook talked about

more than Man-sik and that woman's relationship.

Please just be honest and tell us so we don't reach conclusions by ourselves.

What do you mean? There's nothing to tell!

Really?

You're really driving me crazy!

I'm going insane!

Whatever!

Think what you like!

Seeing how his pitch went up an octave, he must feel guilty about something.

I wonder what it is.

Here.

Eat as you drink.

Yes, thank you.

So hot.

Our Man-sik loved fish cake soup.

You're making me lose my appetite!

I only stated a fact!

He would eat this soup even when he was full!

Please don't fight in front of the fish cake soup!

Please! I beg you!

Man-sik!

Man-sik!

Man-sik!

There they go again.

Man-sik!

Why is it so empty here today?

-Go in. -Jung-hae!

Jung-hae!

Jung-hae

-Hey, hey. -Jung-hae!

Hey!

Get a hold of yourself!

Hey.

Hey.

I told him to not drink so much.

Jae-hoon.

Thank you.

You must be having a hard time too.

Me?

Why would I be?

See you.

Where are you?

Hae-sook.

No, don't go.

No.

Hae-sook.

Hae-sook.

Hae-sook.

No, Hae-sook.

Jae-hoon.

I guess something bad must've happened.

It's been a while.

Nam Jung-hae.

I heard you married Goong-chul.

Congratulations.

How did you hear about the funeral?

I don't know.

I wonder how I heard about it.

You're still the same.

You still toy around with people.

Of course.

People shouldn't change.

It's late. I should go.

Even if it's late,

I can't believe you're treating a friend you haven't seen in a long time like this.

Are you happy?

Yes.

I'm happy.

Is Goong-chul good to you?

Of course.

Why are you curious about that?

If I ask the same question to Goong-chul,

would he have the same response?

(One week later)

Are you okay, Dad?

What do you mean?

Life seems so futile.

Dad.

I'll support you all you want later so live long.

Cut down on drinking too.

Exercise diligently.

Okay?

Yoo-bin.

Yes, Dad?

I'm grateful that you want to support me but shouldn't you study to do that?

Let's be honest. Placing last is...

I'm late! I'm off to school!

-Don't come out! Eat, Dad! -Yoo-bin!

Yoo-bin!

Goodbye!

He's thoughtful.

But his flaw is that his actions and words don't coincide.

Take a few days off and go on a trip.

A trip?

Or...

You should quit.

And you should go on a trip around the world like you dreamed of doing.

I want to do that.

But I'll do it later.

You know the company stops working without me.

I'm telling you that I'm fine.

You know it's not okay that you're okay, right?

I'm telling you I'm fine.

Congratulations!

Thank you.

Congratulations.

It's really pretty.

And...

If it's that hard for you, go join him in death!

How dare you...

How can you say that to your husband?

So what?

You've been drinking like that all week.

So should I clap instead?

Should I dance then?

I'm drinking because my heart is breaking.

Whenever I wake up,

I keep thinking of all the things I couldn't do for him.

So my heart really hurts.

That's why I'm drinking!

Is that so?

Your heart is breaking

because you keep thinking about all the things you couldn't do for him?

Hey.

Cho Hyung-woo.

What are you going to do if everybody dies?

There are many things you didn't do for people.

I guess you'll spend your whole life mourning over that!

I'm warning you for the last time.

Leave me alone.

I'm really holding back right now.

I guess you've forgotten because I went easy on you.

Who do you think you're threatening?

I'm warning you for the last time.

I'm going you one more day!

If you're like this tomorrow too, I'm going to kill you!

There will be no mercy.

Here.

Honey, should we sign up for a few more life insurance policies in your name?

Seeing Man-sik die like that hit home for me.

So...

Since you don't know when I'll die,

you want me to sign up for as many life insurance policies as I can before I do?

Aren't there are any new plans that are nice these days?

I heard there's one with a high guaranteed pension.

Are you going to die, Dad?

No!

No, Pu-reum!

Why would I die? It's not like that.

You can't die, Dad.

I'll be sad if you die.

You're the best, Pu-reum.

Who will make money if you die, Dad?

Please don't die, Dad.

That's why you don't want me to die?

So we should sign up for a few more!

Pu-reum is only 7 years old. How will I raise her by myself if you die?

Who is this?

Jae-hoon.

Please take us somewhere nice today.

Yes, yes!

Why are you talking nonsense so early in the day?

Let's just party today.

I just want to be happy for today.

Yes, just today! I want to be happy!

Forget it.

Forget it. I need to go to work.

Okay.

I'll post on your hospital website that your urine flow pressure is weak.

Asshole.

I'm an additional witness!

Have they lost their minds?

Have you two lost your minds?

How could we live without going insane?

I'm already insane.

Sir!

I found this...

...in your suit pocket.

I was keeping it safe.

It's important.

So I kept it somewhere safe.

Good luck!

Hey.

They're really in their early 30s, right?

How many times do I have to tell you they are?

I should've taken a medication to calm me down.

That's why I brought one!

Why you bastard!

I really hate this.

I really do.

Man-sik passed away just a few days ago. I can't believe you want to do this.

You should both be in the Guinness World Records for being thoughtless.

Why do you think we're doing this right now?

-It's all because of Man-sik! -Yes, yes!

Man-sik made us realize that our lives could end in futile out of the blue.

That's right. If it wasn't for Man-sik, we would've never thought of this.

You're such smooth talkers.

I'm warning you.

If you ever ask me to introduce you to women again using threats,

I'll report you to the police!

I canceled my afternoon appointments.

Do you know how much I'm losing out?

We didn't threaten you.

My urine flow!

Didn't you say you'll post my urine flow pressure is weak?

If that isn't a threat, what is?

I was just kidding around!

And we never asked you to introduce us to women.

We said we should party where there are lots of women.

He's right! You're the one who arranged the blind date!

We just wanted to go party at a night club like good men and...

-Okay. -Okay.

We'll never ask again. The end.

Happy now?

Choon-bok, you're sure you did a face mask yesterday, right?

-I told you I did! -You did?

Maybe it's them.

Really? I guess they are!

Here they come! Here they come!

Cross your legs. Cross your legs.

Welcome.

Have a good time.

Hello.

-I... -My name's Hyung-woo.

You go first.

Hello, ma'am!

You know Coach Joo is taking the day off today, right?

No.

Oh, you didn't know.

Something came up for Coach Joo.

But I'll do my best to teach you today.

It's fine. I'll just practice by myself today.

I used to be a national team member

so I taught many of the ladies.

Why don't you have faith and learn from me?

Oh, my!

What the hell?

Who are you?

Are you hurt anywhere?

No.

Go home safely.

You need to go to the hospital.

It's dangerous if it gets infected.

I'll drive you there.

This is nothing.

I'm glad that you're not hurt, ma'am.

Even a hippo won't be able to drink like her.

Which country is that dance from?

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

I genuinely miss my wife all of a sudden.

I miss her so much.

My Eun-sil's an angel.

I must've lost my mind to come here when I have my angel.

What are you fellas doing over there?

You should have a drink with me!

You look quite cute.

Why don't we do a love shot?

Love shot!

No, wait! Wait!

I don't want to, ma'am.

You're so timid!

Look here.

Have a drink.

I'm fine too, ma'am.

Honey, I think it's a little late.

Let's go.

I hope you two have fun.

Yes, honey.

Goodness.

Where are you?

I came somewhere.

Your car's here. Did you leave it behind?

Yes, I had to.

The next bus that's arriving is number 880.

Jung-hae.

I'll see you later at home.

Anyways, how did he die?

I heard he died of a heart attack inside the bus.

A heart attack?

What's that?

It's blue.

It's nothing.

I don't think it's nothing.

Is that pill...?

Is it...?

You!

A client gave it to me.

The blue pill!

For some reason, when I carry it around, I feel energized.

You feel energized just by carrying it around?

-I mean it! -Do you think that makes any sense?

I'm telling you it does.

Hey.

You can have it.

I'm fine. You use it.

No, I can get another one!

-You have it! -Hey, give it to Choon-bok!

He said it's useless so you take it!

Give it to Hyung-woo or Jae-hoon!

Come on!

Here.

I told you to take it.

Try carrying it around.

You really feel energized when you're tired.

I'm telling you that I really don't need it.

I'm telling you that I'm fine!

I'm telling you that I really don't need it!

Is there something wrong?

Why did you want to go to the mountains out of the blue?

To be honest...

Whenever I went up the mountain,

I always only went up half of the distance and I came back down.

I never reached the top of a mountain before.

That's why.

Life is becoming boring too.

Man-sik.

I want to take this opportunity to reach the top of the mountain with you guys.

I feel like once I do,

my life will take a turn for the better too.

Man-sik...

Hey.

You said we'll see each other on Sunday.

You said, "See you on Sunday."

How can you leave like that?

I'll inform the school right now.

You idiot.

Wake up!

Who would believe the word of a stupid guy like you?

Before I put you in jail for defamation,

get lost!

You must have had...

...such a hard time...

...by yourself.

Man-sik...

You were alone...

It must've been so hard by yourself!

Man-sik...

Welcome home.

You weren't sleeping?

Give it to me.

Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

You've never done this for me before.

It feels strange, Jung-hae.

I smell a lot like chicken, right? We sold a lot today.

I'll go wash up.

Ahn Goong-chul.

Yes?

Come here.

What's with you?

Give me a hug.

What?

Did you say farewell to Man-sik?

Man-sik must be happy that he has a friend like you.

If I tell you to live hard for Man-sik's sake,

it would be too cliched, right?

At times like this, I hate that I'm a psychiatrist.

Even at times like this,

I only say things that sound great.

You're not alone.

Don't pretend to be strong.

When you're having a hard time, lean on me.

I will.

(Damoa Life Insurance)

There must be a mistake.

That isn't possible.

Ma'am, let me explain again.

The three life insurances applied in Mr. Cheon Man-sik's name

were canceled on July 3 at 3 p.m.

The entire amount was deposited into Mr. Cheon Man-sik's Saesang Bank account.

You can see the deposit amount and date here, right?

(Cancellation Receipt: $45,601.64)

Ma'am?

I'm sorry

but the next customer is waiting.

Myeong-sook.

Please calm down.

How can I calm down?

Do you know what that money meant?

How could he do whatever he wanted with it?

You didn't know about this, did you?

That he canceled his life insurance.

No! I really didn't know!

The agent was changed to another person.

So I really didn't know. I mean it, Myeong-sook.

How could he do this?

He not only died without talking to me

but he also canceled his life insurance by himself.

I'm going to find out what he used it for.

I'm going to find out what he did behind my back.

What he was up to.

Everything.

I really like her these days.

What was her name?

Elle Kang!

She's pretty with a great body. Plus, she's good at acting.

I heard she graduated from a great university and she comes from a good family.

Yes, sir.

The more I look at her, the more charming she seems.

I see.

You know the spokesperson for our company...

You mean Kim Jun-hyun?

When does his contract end?

It ends this month.

That's great!

Then don't extend it. Let's switch to another spokesperson.

Someone like...

This actress!

Sir!

I know, I know.

I know people like him and he has a good image.

But that's it though.

Popular chicken franchises don't use

a middle-aged man who's no longer popular anymore!

He's still popular!

Even though he retired as a baseball player,

he's the most popular baseball coach!

So?

Are you saying we should extend his contract?

Of course!

When people think of High-Five Chicken, they think of Kim Jun-hyun and vice versa!

Yes, there's no reason to change the spokesperson at this point!

Mr. Ahn!

You seem to be fooling yourself.

Who's the CEO of this company?

You are, sir.

Am I a figurehead?

Or am I a puppet?

No, sir!

Then why are you dismissing what I'm saying? Who gave you that authority?

That's... not it, sir.

How many people work for you?

Why don't I just fire your entire team?

Pardon?

Oh, right.

You were forced to retire at your previous company too, right?

Then this shouldn't be too shocking.

You must already know how it feels because you went through it once.

Sir, I'll contact Ms. Kang's agency right away.

I'll set a meeting date so we can arrange the contract right away!

But what about Kim Jun-hyun?

Since we bonded over the years,

I'll talk to him so he understands.

Will you do that?

If I had my way...

Yes?

Were you okay last night?

Of course.

I saw a lot of stars though. They were pretty.

How about we go for drinks tonight?

I'm sorry but I already have plans.

Tonight, I need to do what I couldn't do with Jung-hae before.

What you couldn't do?

Oh, her birthday?

Bingo!

I only gave her the gift. I couldn't do what actually mattered.

Right.

Good luck.

(Erotic Hyung-woo)

Did you have fun last night?

What do you mean?

How can you say that?

They're absolute monsters!

I thought they were what you liked.

Once she got drunk, she revealed her true colors and she became crazy.

Did you ever see a woman with only the white in her eyes showing?

Did you ever see a woman drink from an ice bucket?

We did.

I've seen egg whites

but never a woman with just the white in her eyes.

I've seen "Open Concert" but never an open throat.

That must've been quite an experience.

Quite an experience? It was so scary!

I've never been so scared in my life before!

How could you bring girls like her?

My name will be Idiot Hyung-woo instead of Cho Hyung-woo

if I ever let you introduce another girl to me again!

I succeeded.

I'm hanging up now.

Hey!

I knew it. This was his plan all along.

What a jerk.

You scared me.

Director.

Please change my lines.

Again?

We changed them earlier.

I can't help that it doesn't flow.

Jeez!

Director.

What do you mean by that?

Hyung-woo.

There's no actress to substitute her in this industry right now.

Hey!

If we don't go with her, we need to pay her $500,000!

Do you think I have $500,000? Do you have $500,000?

You and I don't even have $5,000!

Please let it go for my sake, Hyung-woo!

Please!

Jeez!

You should've told me earlier! Which lines?

Which lines do you want to change? Hey!

Bring me the script.

-Yes, sir! -Let me see. Where?

When you look here...

We changed scarcely to barely.

-I want to change that to totally. -Totally.

Okay.

Totally.

-It sounds totally great, right? -Happy now?

Yes. Thank you, director.

Let's start in 10 minutes!

My goodness!

I'm really starting to hate women.

They scare me.

I hope our Ji-wook doesn't date a girl like her.

A blind date?

Yes.

She's a great girl so just meet her.

It's fine. I don't need a girl.

Women aren't objects.

Stop complaining and just meet her when I call you.

-I'm hanging up. -It's really fine. I...

Who's offering to arrange a blind date for you?

A friend.

Oh, a college friend?

I'm curious.

If you're able to escape your slump by getting a girlfriend,

then I'll all for the blind date!

Oh, Mom.

If I could escape my slump that way, I would've done that already!

That's right. Don't go on blind dates and don't get a girlfriend.

I'm absolutely against the idea of you getting a girlfriend!

I'll prescribe medication.

So take one a day.

And also make a habit of going to sleep by 10.

-Okay? -Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

I'll see you next week.

Here you go.

Please come this way.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

(My Man)

Yes, honey.

You're done with work, right?

I'm leaving now.

It will take 10 minutes.

Okay.

Hello?

Goong-chul.

It's me.

Oh, hello.

It's been a while.

Do you have time right now?

I want to talk to you about an important matter.

Right now?

I don't want you to tell Jung-hae though.

(My Man)

(My Man)

Did you arrive?

I'm sorry, Jung-hae.

But I'm going to have to cancel dinner tonight.

Did something happen?

A classmate wants to meet me out of the blue.

Which classmate?

I'll tell you later.

See you at home.

Hello.

You know...

I know what you did 20 years ago.

I'm curious.

If Goong-chul finds out what you did,

I wonder what he'll do.

Hae-sook

Hae-sook.

Hae-sook.

Welcome.

It's been a while.

Thank you.

I think it was an affair.

What did you just say?

I think my husband and Jung-hae had an affair.

But Jung-hae still treated me.

Even though she had an affair, she looked at me as if nothing was wrong.

Myeong-sook.

I think...

...there must have been an misunderstanding.

My Jung-hae...

...would never do that.

You know that Man-sik would never do that too.

That's what I thought at first too.

These are the text messages those two exchanged over the past 6 months.

Once you read them,

you'll change your mind too.

Like I did.

(Analysis Report)

(My Woman)

Yes, Jung-hae.

Jung-hae?

(My Woman)

Hello? Jung-hae!

What's wrong?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Is something wrong?

Where are you right now?

Jung-hae!

Jung-hae!

(My Man)

(Power Off)

(May 1999)

Have a drink first.

-Yes. -Let's drink first.

Cheers.

I heard you're moving to somewhere nice.

I got an offer.

But it's not easy to leave a school where I worked for 20 years.

I heard that Mr. Kim is...

(Missy Club)

Baek Hae-sook!

What are you doing here?

How did you know I was here?

Are you the one who asked to see me?

When did you start working here?

I'll explain everything later.

So leave for now. I need to go back.

What kind of explanation is needed?

Even if you were desperate for money,

how could you work at an escort bar?

I don't know how much you need but I'll give you that amount!

So quit right now.

Let's go.

"That amount"?

You don't have any money.

That's your dad's money!

Hae-sook.

Rather than accepting money from a person like your dad,

earning money at an escort bar is cleaner!

Go.

If you want to join me, give me a call.

This place isn't that bad.

What did you want to tell me?

Ahn Goong-chul.

Do you want to go out with me?

What?

I know you like me.

So let's go out.

Ahn Goong-chul!

Aren't you going to answer me?

Hae-sook.

I'm sorry.

But I have feelings for someone else.

Okay.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

You'll agree to be friends though, right?

Of course!

We're already friends.

(Elegant Friends)

I'm in love with you.

So go out with me.

Why? Is it very bad?

It's not good.

I know she would never do that.

But should I pretend to not know or should I ask what happened?

People tend to get betrayed by the people they trust.

I hope we never see each other again.

I know you'll come see me when I reach out to you again.

How much do you trust me?

Cheer up.

It's really going to get difficult now.
