(All characters, organizations, places, and events are fictional.)

It's raining cats and dogs.

It's the monsoon season.

Man, we're awfully unlucky too.

Tell me about it. That looks good.

Hey, that smells great.

Who are you?

- Goodness. - What happened?

It looks like you're here on business.

You do...

just about everything for money, don't you?

We do anything once you pay us.

How did you get so badly hurt?

So? What do you need?

I need you...

to kill someone.

Sir, I think you're mistaken...

Who do you want dead?

Kang... Kang Yeo Joo.

Kang Yeo Joo.

"Kang Yeo Joo"?

Kang Yeo Joo?

I've heard that name somewhere.

You haven't heard of anyone with that name.

So who is this Kang Yeo Joo?

My wife.

What?

I'll pay you...

whatever you want.

Please...

kill my wife.

Have you been writing your script on paper?

(3 months before the rainy day)

Yes, I thought it might help me write something.

Do you want me to write that darned novel?

My publisher will probably sue me right away.

Have you forgotten? Your husband is a lawyer.

You're right.

Then I have nothing to worry about.

Will you look at me as we talk?

Going to the gym?

No, to cheat on you.

In a sweatsuit?

I'll take it off anyway.

But keep your pants on.

You recently got a beer belly.

(Episode 1)

Are you all right?

Me?

Hey, sir. Are you all right?

Goodness, sir. Sir?

Are you okay? Sir?

Can you call an ambulance?

I can't believe you're the first guy I kiss.

Honey, I'm sorry.

It wasn't bad for a first kiss, right?

Right.

I'm relieved.

What?

- Hello? - Still alive?

Yes, he'll be fine after a few days of rest.

A few days?

We're about to go on air!

Hey!

Isn't this too fast?

At this rate, I'll arrive there on time.

My wife told me not to take my pants off outside.

You have 30 seconds.

I don't even have time to zip up my pants.

Hello, I'm Baek Soo Jung from "Morning Stories".

Today's guest is known to be a perfect husband.

Please welcome Lawyer Han Woo Sung.

Hello, it's nice to meet you.

My name is Han Woo Sung, and I'm a lawyer.

It's nice to meet you.

You're known for offering divorce suits pro bono.

Could you elaborate on that?

Well...

I'm offering free services to women who don't have...

enough money to file for divorce even when...

they're abused.

Perhaps, are you thinking about doing politics?

Not at all.

That was a joke.

Even though you divorce other couples,

you, yourself, are known to be a devoted husband.

Well... I'm trying my best so that she won't divorce me.

Look at her smiling so slyly.

She looks exactly like the wench who seduced my husband.

Who?

Oh, it's nothing.

Sit down.

That smells nice.

I agree.

When it comes to abalone porridge,

your husband makes it better than I do.

The biggest cause of divorce is known to be...

personality differences.

Lawyer Han, I heard you and your wife met by fate.

Did you encounter each other during a wonderful trip?

Well... No. It was at a goshiwon.

Goshiwon?

- Yes. - I didn't expect that.

Right. I was preparing for my bar exam.

I helped a close friend out every now and then...

and kept watch at a goshiwon.

("An Assembled Man")

Gosh, that's too terrifying.

The writer is totally insane.

How many characters has he killed already?

What's his name? Is he a psychopath or what?

He must be a lunatic.

He used to be a reporter for the press.

"Kang Yeo Joo".

What? Isn't that a female name?

How does she look?

(Kang Yeo Joo)

(Kang Yeo Joo)

Isn't she too beautiful for a writer?

She looks like an actress.

I'm here to look at your rooms.

You should come tomorrow. The manager isn't here.

(Kang Yeo Joo)

She's more gorgeous in real life.

Well, what kind of room are you looking for?

A special one.

I see. A room with a window, perhaps?

I don't need any windows.

Did anyone die in any of the rooms?

What?

Don't all buildings have one?

(Please Be Quiet)

Has anyone died in any of the rooms?

What a psycho. Of course not.

Do you want the place to close down?

You must have one that's similarly bizarre.

There is a room that no one wants...

due to the noise from the outdoor AC cooling fan.

I'm sure many mice have died there.

Do you have none?

No, we do.

I'll call you back later.

By the way, why do you keep talking casually to me?

I even served in the military.

You're younger than you look.

Where's the room?

It's over there. This way.

You're not studying for the bar exam, are you?

You don't seem like you work for a company either.

I have a supernatural skill.

Is your work perhaps related...

to wood?

I sense a lot of wood around you.

Or is it related to paper?

Are you a writer?

Since it's very quiet, you'll be able to work here.

White noise helps you focus.

Why did the previous tenant die?

What?

Right. I believe it was a homicide.

A homicide?

Were there any witnesses?

No.

Because you see,

the body was discovered...

a week later.

Since this room is at the very end of the hallway,

not many people passed here.

It was extremely gruesome.

This room must've reeked.

We have excellent ventilators, you see.

The owner used to run a ventilator business.

What about the culprit? Were they caught?

No.

There's a spiderweb.

I'll get rid of it right away.

No, I like it. Let it be.

Perhaps, that spider...

is a witness.

(Hanbang Goshiwon)

It sounds like she's playing the piano.

Who is she killing this time?

She didn't even glance once.

You too?

Don't you think she's a little cuckoo?

She never greets anyone.

That rude brat never says hi.

It's because she's an artist.

An artist...

She's downright gorgeous.

So this is why you haven't gone home yet.

Sillim-dong...

Casanova.

Don't get any ideas now.

As long as I'm the bookkeeper here, I won't let anything happen.

Hey, man.

It's different.

It's for real this time.

(5 months since their 1st meeting)

(Kang Yeo Joo's Book Signing Event for "Murder in Goshiwon")

Thank you.

Can you write down a number instead of an autograph?

What's your number?

I meant...

your phone number.

Pardon?

So you fell in love with her at first sight.

Yes. Well, that's how it usually happens for me.

Would you say that happened often with you?

My gosh, no. Oh, no.

Don't get the wrong idea, honey.

You're the only woman I fell in love with.

Here.

I love you.

Sorry.

When did she come back from the States?

(9 years ago)

You have no shame. How dare you come here?

Fine. I'm forced to go to the States now because of you.

Are you happy now?

But you just wait.

No one can get away with messing with me.

Look at that. You need to be careful around women like her.

You can't trust your husband too much.

You got that?

Gosh, if I don't trust him, how can I share a room with him?

Goodness. You can be so naive.

Oh, right. You're not going out today, right?

Why do you ask?

I heard Ms. Yang is coming over.

Ms. Yang?

(The O Ville Publishing House)

Everyone.

I'll go after her head.

Ms. Na, wait for me and open the door.

The rest of you can grab her limb each.

- Okay? - Yes.

Don't make mistakes. We don't have time.

- 1, 2, 3. Let's go. - Let's go.

- Good job. - Good work.

- Good work. - This way.

Great job.

Let me.

Thanks.

Good job.

Thanks. Good job.

- Thanks. Great work. - Well done.

- Good work. - Good work.

Okay. Good work.

Oh, my.

Do you want to grab lunch together?

I have a trial today. I don't think I can.

How about dinner?

I'm having dinner with my wife.

Then, how about breakfast?

I know you're a busy man.

Why don't I go over to your neighborhood for a jog?

Don't you exercise on Monday and Wednesday?

I was just joking. You can be so adorable.

I can't stop teasing you.

I have a busy schedule. Bye.

I'll get going.

Good job.

See you again.

Are you interested in him?

Did it seem that way?

It won't be easy. He's crazy about his wife.

My gosh.

Come on.

Goodness.

She was here a minute ago.

I told you to keep her here no matter what this time.

How could I do that? I have a lot to get done too.

Ma'am.

She's been cooped up in her room for a while.

Where did she go now?

Gosh. I don't know.

Wait.

It's 3.5 dollars.

You're sure Ms. Kang is coming today, right?

If she doesn't show up today again, I won't let this slide!

Never.

Okay. Of course. Don't worry. Okay.

Oh, what am I going to do? She's killing me.

That brat.

I found her!

Really? How did you find her?

- I got a report. - What?

I asked people in the neighborhood for help in advance.

- Hey, let go! - That way.

- Open the door. Now. Hurry. - Right here.

- There. - Put her in.

Good.

Will she be okay?

Of course.

If she didn't show up today, they would have filed a lawsuit.

You helped her out.

Good job! Let's go! Come, Ms. Na.

Oh, right. If you have some time, come to the book talk.

I'll get you souvenirs. Please come!

(L and S Law Firm)

You even brought your paralegal.

Not even a cup of tea?

Why don't we settle?

We want 35 percent of the assets...

and 10,000 dollars as alimony.

My client wants to keep the family together.

Then, how could he cheat on her?

Do you have proof?

Mr. Son.

They are friends.

Can't two friends shake hands?

As it so happens, there's a five-star hotel behind them.

A luxurious hotel makes a nice background for photos.

And the view was superb too.

His so-called friend posted these photos on her blog.

What am I looking at?

Can't you see it?

You're not sharp.

Perhaps, it could be presbyopia.

Don't dance around it. Just tell me what it is.

That's your client, right?

We might have to cover them up with peaches for court.

I'm allergic to peaches. How about grapes?

Sounds good. Two bunches will do.

Let's renegotiate.

We want 40 percent of the assets...

and 15,000 dollars as alimony.

You wanted 35 percent of the assets...

and 10,000 dollars before.

Now it's 45 percent...

and 20,000 dollars.

- Time is money. - Yes.

Tick-tock.

I'll talk to my client.

- It's now 50 percent... - Hey!

One second.

I'm about to call with 45 percent and 20,000.

Okay.

You made a wise choice for your client's sake.

Good job.

Yes, we settled your divorce.

You'll get 45 percent of the assets...

and 20,000 for alimony.

I'm headed to the office, so I'll see you there. Okay.

Happy that you won?

I feel kind of bad.

Then buy me dinner.

Well, today is Tuesday,

so it's grocery shopping day.

My wife has been busy lately.

Oh, right.

See you.

I must be out of it.

Thank you for waiting.

It was very difficult to have her here today.

This writer is someone who is known for many keywords.

A bestselling author.

An expert crime writer.

The leader of Korean female hard-boiled literature.

We're about to have the leading crime novelist.

Ms. Kang.

Let's just end this event without any problems.

I'm not sure.

Do you think it's possible to finish this without a problem...

in an outfit like this?

Why? It was pretty expensive.

Please keep it clean, though.

I see. Did you actually pay for this?

Let's welcome Ms. Kang Yeo Joo...

and have a discussion on her book.

Welcome.

(From "An Assembled Man" to "A Murder Case Without a Body")

("Chilling Book Concert" with Kang Yeo Joo)

Hello.

("Chilling Book Concert" with Kang Yeo Joo)

(Store Entrance)

My goodness, I'm sorry.

Oh no.

Gosh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

Wait, you're that lawyer who's on TV, right?

Yes.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

Could you give me an autograph?

- Oh, should I? - Please.

You said you always shop for groceries instead of your wife,

- and it was true. - Yes.

What's your name?

- Ryu Ok Ju. - Ms. Ryu Ok Ju.

(Han Woo Sung)

In 1, 2, 3.

- Thank you. - Our limited-time sale will begin.

- Only 20 will get 15 percent off. - Aren't you running for the sale?

- I'm meeting my wife here. - We only have a limited quantity.

- I see. - Limited-time blue crab sale.

Do not miss this opportunity.

Yes?

You're known for brutally murdering...

the men who have affairs in your books.

By any chance, is this based on your experience?

Ms. Kang's husband is...

widely known as a loving and devoted husband.

I'm sure she writes her novels purely from her imagination.

Yes?

If your husband cheats on you,

what will you do?

Will you divorce him?

Getting divorced has never even crossed my mind.

I'd probably rather be a widow.

I'm sure I'll do something from my novels.

He'll either commit suicide or die in an accident.

No matter what it is, it'll be a perfect crime.

After all, I'm an expert.

I truly hope something like that won't happen.
