EPISODE 12

I got it. It's a book!

A stuffed animal?

It's one of them, right?

What if it's not?

I doubt it's clothing.

Is it underwear?

I get it now.

A muffler.

Am I right?

I guess I am.

-What if it's not? -Then, so be it.

A desk pad?

PAINKILLERS

Ointment for burns,

painkillers, antipyretics,

waterproof bandages, medicated patches,

and a corn remover just in case.

Wearing heels might give you some.

You know what a disinfectant is.

And these pills will help with indigestion.

Are you taking the evening flight?

I wish you a safe trip.

Should I walk you in?

I hope you're not upset.

Why would I be?

Your expectations weren't met.

This is much better. I'm grateful.

Why isn't she calling me back? I'm sure she's back home now.

MOTHER

I was just about to call you.

Why did you take all the spicy braised chicken?

To eat it, of course.

I said I'd season it some more tomorrow.

Why bother with the leftovers? Besides, it'll be fine when reheated.

Next time, ask for permission first.

-I thought I was being considerate-- -In what way?

I brought the chicken there hoping to learn your recipe.

I figured you'd hate to have it again.

You never eat the same dish twice in a row.

Still, make a habit of asking for permission first

-with everything. -I will.

Don't have Yu-sin eat the messed-up dish.

A man who has a job to do must always have a freshly cooked meal.

-Okay. -Good night.

Sure.

Pi-young.

Yes?

Where is "Mother"?

I'm your mother-in-law. Shouldn't you say "Mother" at the end?

Right. I'm sorry, Mother.

-Good night, Mother. -Bye.

Is that the best she can do when addressing her mother-in-law?

INCOMING CALL MANAGER KIM

-Hello? -Yes, what is it?

I have something to say.

Go ahead.

Face-to-face.

Could you please come back here?

I got myself a custom wig.

Why? It's not like you're bald.

Well, your mother-in-law thinks I look a little old.

Rather, I thought he could look somewhat younger.

But I hear wigs are uncomfortable,

and Father looks amazing as is.

People keep misunderstanding us.

Anyway,

he still looks young, but he's losing out due to his gray hair.

I disagree.

It's not like he goes to the office, so why bother with a wig?

He has gatherings almost once every two days.

He'll only be wearing it briefly outside.

Put yourself in his shoes.

Would you want to wear a wig?

Who are you to voice your opinion on this?

Right. I'll try it on first.

I won't wear it if it's uncomfortable.

But people can tell you're wearing one.

Not the ones made these days.

We were promised a good job.

Maybe I should make an event out of it.

That ungrateful wench.

She couldn't have married Yu-sin if it wasn't for me.

Goodness.

Your glasses were in your study.

Right, I see.

He's like a walking corpse now.

For Part One of the show, we bring you Cozy Night Live.

Here are songs that go really well with this night.

If you wish to share any stories--

I'll be late tonight.

Come home drunk like last night, and you'll sleep on the couch.

I haven't even poured a glass.

Let's go anywhere.

Heaven or hell?

Heaven.

For me, that would be inside this car.

I'm going to go back.

-Where? -In the States.

I won't come back.

-Why not? -I've lost confidence.

To adapt?

I don't want to crumble,

but I feel like I will.

These emotions I'm feeling

are a first for me.

I realized

that time isn't what defines the depth of your love.

I'm flustered.

That's probably the case with every new experience.

Sooner or later, you'll find yourself at ease

with those emotions.

It's just me, isn't it?

It's like I've been swept up by a tsunami of emotions.

I wasn't given a fair warning.

I've been honest with you.

You can go.

I…

I can't be honest with you.

Given my situation.

What if I'm willing

to overlook your situation?

How can I let you do that?

All right.

I should at least stay centered.

Fine.

Dad.

What's up?

I just saw people on TV who are aspiring celebrities,

and they were really good at singing and dancing.

Shouldn't Hyang-gi be as good now?

That's right.

Ask her to show you something.

You suddenly want me to dance?

To see if you have the talent.

It's a basic thing for theater students.

U-ram, go to your room.

How can you dance in front of strangers if you can't in front of U-ram?

Hyang-gi, that was unexpected.

Have you been going clubbing with your friends?

Only twice.

You must've practiced hard to get that good.

Everything takes work.

-Maybe I should study theater too. -No way.

Why not? You can, but I can't?

I'm against it too.

Are you saying I'm ugly?

It's not like you're that pretty.

I still got in, didn't I?

Hyang-gi, since you can sing too,

I'd rather you went into musicals than TV dramas.

A musical actress?

Yes.

But it's hard to make a living in that field.

It's the same for sports and the entertainment business.

You barely make a living unless you rise to the top.

That's why I was against you studying theater.

-Then I'll become the top star. -Easier said than done.

U-ram, keep your thoughts to yourself.

The grown-ups are talking.

Wasn't this a family meeting, Dad?

Dad, do you think I'll do better on stage?

You like musicals too.

The actors are mesmerizing.

My friends who've seen Broadway musicals

said the actors have amazing talent.

Exactly. And there are Koreans who made it big on Broadway too.

So I've heard.

It might be good for all of us.

Maybe you'll take us to New York one day.

It'll make Mom and Dad proud.

What about you, then?

MANAGER KIM

MANAGER KIM

Trust me. I'll keep the boat anchored.

I do hope that you'll be back.

-Did you eat it all? -Of course.

-Is our princess asleep? -She waited, but yes.

Want some honey tea?

No, I didn't drink saying I had an upset stomach.

-Not even a sip? -Not even a sip.

Mother suggested we go on a ski trip before Ji-a's school break ends.

Right.

If I can't go, will you take Ji-a without me?

I need to devote myself to this new show.

It won't be any fun without you, so what's the point?

Mother couldn't care less about me joining the trip

as long as you go.

She doesn't mean that.

It's true. Check yourself tomorrow.

Then she can just take Ji-a herself.

Father got a custom wig. Can you believe it?

-Why? -Why else?

Because Mother thinks Father looks too old.

A wig won't make him look like he's in his fifties.

Who cares if he looks like he's in his fifties or his seventies?

It'll be so uncomfortable for Father.

I'm proof of what he's like.

We do whatever our wives want. Like father, like son.

I'm nothing like her.

I don't bother you just to get what I want.

That's because you're one-of-a-kind.

You only have one flaw.

Which is what?

Let's give Ji-a a sibling.

I'll forever be your servant, my Queen.

Forget it.

Is your work that important?

Why do you need it so much?

If I were you, I'd gratefully be a stay-at-home wife

and devote my life to the family.

Two children aren't the same as one.

If I have one more, I'll get fat.

You never will.

And what if you do?

-You'll still love me? -Of course.

You only say that because you know I'd stay fit.

That's right.

I'll wait until you change your mind.

-I won't push you. -That's even scarier.

-And it's burdening. -Don't feel that way.

Your health and your happiness

are my priority.

Gosh.

No wonder they say women who have it easy become widows.

Are you awake, my wife?

What?

Can you scratch my back?

The sheets will be covered with his dead skin cells.

Gosh, that's much better.

My back's still muscular, isn't it?

Of course.

You're fit enough to go skating.

Don't you think Pi-young…

Yes?

Don't you also feel like she belittles me?

Why would Pi-young belittle you?

She's nice to you.

-Because I'm not Yu-sin's birth mother. -Nonsense.

It's not an inferiority complex.

She isn't as formal with me as one would be to her mother-in-law.

I don't think so.

When you're not around.

That's because you guys are close.

Sometimes, you come off like sisters

since you look so young.

She's cutting off the family tree

by not giving Yu-sin a son.

Yes, that…

But it's like Pi-young said.

Who can guarantee that the next child will be a boy?

She should've at least tried.

Ji-a's life would be more stable with a sibling in it.

That's true.

You should talk to Yu-sin about it.

I'm not sure.

Who am I to get in between a married couple?

This concerns not just them but your entire family.

Pi-young would never cave in and get pregnant again,

but it'll surely stress her out.

Besides, another grandchild means less inheritance for me.

I can't wait for your wig to be done.

Can you imagine how cool you'll look?

-Where's Ji-a? -She wants to sleep in.

-I didn't cook any soup today. -Okay.

Gosh.

You should refrain from cooking spicy braised chicken.

-Why? -Or learn from Ms. Kim.

But Ms. Kim…

I mean, Mother cooked this.

I visited her with a chicken yesterday to learn from her.

Even Mother fails to perfectly season

her dishes sometimes.

Really?

But she's never failed once until today.

For decades, actually.

You should try it.

I don't like spicy braised chicken that much.

I brought it home for you though.

Anyway, I now know her secret. She adds an artificial flavor enhancer.

She couldn't add it yesterday because I was at her heels.

Really?

Can't you tell by the flavors?

Well, you won't know since you don't cook.

Chive soy sauce. Your favorite.

Artificial flavor enhancers aren't good for you.

That's why I don't buy any.

My family's health is more important than the flavor.

So, Dr. Shin, even though it's not as good,

it's good for you, so enjoy.

Sure thing. It's good enough. it's the best.

But you told me not to cook this anymore.

It was a mistake. A huge mistake. I didn't know it was Ms. Kim's.

Admitting a mistake doesn't count when only said in words.

Then, let's meet for dinner today.

Stretch your arms further. That's it.

Yes, that's good. Stretch.

Coach Kang, you have a consultation request.

-Keep working on that. -Sure.

Gosh.

Could she be sick?

It's not like her to ignore my texts.

Hey.

Hey.

-What would you like to drink? -We should grab a meal.

There isn't a decent place nearby.

Then I'll check out the cafeteria.

But you don't eat pork. Stir-fried pork is today's main dish.

I picked the wrong day to come.

There must be a brunch cafe.

You seem exhausted.

I could say the same about Nam Ga-bin.

-Did you see her? -I ran into her at a wine bar.

Who are you seeing these days?

-A student who graduated from art school. -How long will it last?

Who knows? A year at most.

What about you?

Call Dad once in a while or text him when you can.

It's not even that hard, and he's expecting it.

Let's just talk about you.

So this is about Nam Ga-bin?

She's perfect for you.

I know that,

but you know how many women are out there.

I won't be shackled at this age.

Does Dad look happy to you?

Are you happy being single and all?

-It's comfortable. -"Comfortable"?

Isn't that another word for "lonely"?

Don't you miss her?

She pops into my head from time to time.

You'll end up regretting it. I'm sure of it.

Then, so be it.

I prefer all things new,

whether it's a person, an object, or a car.

They say you should live in a new house, but live with an old love.

We're all different in our own ways.

You know that we both reject normalcy.

We're our father's sons, after all.

You know he's never missed or felt sorry

for your mother.

I believe that blood is thicker than water though,

and I get curious about you from time to time,

if you're eating properly or if you're seeing someone.

If you are, let me be the first to know.

I'm a good judge when it comes to women.

-Yet, you still dumped Ga-bin. -"Dumped"?

She's a person, not trash.

We just ended things.

You have an addiction just like common alcoholics.

Here. I bought one for you when I bought mine.

-What is it? -Nothing much.

-You should get going. -Sure.

Don't be one of those single men who wear shabby underwear.

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS A

Yes, I will. Thank you.

We're going to pick up your wig next Friday.

Oh, that was quick.

-Good afternoon. -Hello.

Thank you.

Doesn't he look younger, Mr. Han?

-He does. -How old would you say?

I'd say in your mid-fifties.

Right?

Your friends might tease you and tell you to remarry someone younger.

-Don't you dare. -Come on.

MS. SONG WON

Hello.

My phone broke, so I had to get it fixed. Sorry for the late reply.

Here's the salad recipe.

Hello. You skipped the gym, so I was worried if you were sick.

My sister-in-law came to Seoul

to have a medical checkup.

Thankfully, it wasn't anything severe, so she left for home today.

How's your wife?

I'll tell you in person.

Will you be at the gym tomorrow?

Yes.

See you tomorrow.

You're in fifth grade, so you're a big girl now.

Make your own decision regarding your issues

and take responsibility for the outcome.

That's right. We can't live your life for you.

You never know what'll happen to us.

Think of your grandma and uncle.

Why would you make me sad at this nice place?

I'm just telling you how life is.

Live long, okay?

This isn't a request. It's an order from your daughter.

An earnest one.

We'd love to live long.

-But-- -Okay, that's all you'll say.

This way, please.

I hardly recognized you.

Can you tell?

Hardly.

Ji-a, how does your grandpa look?

Do you find it weird?

Can I be honest?

Of course.

You do look younger,

but there's something awkward about you now.

It's new to you, that's all.

Pi-young?

It looks better on you than I expected.

Isn't it uncomfortable, though?

Not really. It's light. I almost forgot that it's on my head.

Why don't you make a suggestion to Pi-young

about having one more child before she gets older?

Okay?

Pi-young.

Yes, Father.

Why don't you have one more child?

You should, for Ji-a's sake.

It's too late now, Father.

No, it's not.

Head Nurse Hwang gave birth to a baby boy when she was 42, didn't she?

-Yes. -You're healthy enough.

Isn't she a working mom with three kids?

Yes, she has two girls, and the recent one is a boy.

See what I mean?

It's not because your father wants a grandson.

He just doesn't want Ji-a to be lonely.

You two won't be around forever, you know.

My thoughts exactly.

You should seriously consider it.

Okay.

What's there to consider? You should just do it.

Yu-sin grew up a lonely kid.

So did you, Pi-young.

You know how lonely it is to be an only child.

Should Ji-a face this cruel world all by herself?

Won't you feel so sorry for her?

The thought of it would keep me up at night.

Mom.

Having a sibling doesn't necessarily make a child grow up well.

Besides, Yu-sin, I, and both of you grew up into fine adults

without any siblings.

-Then I'll act out. -Gosh.

Yu-sin, what about you?

Who does she think she is calling him like she's his wife?

Well, I'd like another kid.

But I have no complaints as is.

You have no complaints,

but you can't help but think it's a shame.

Where's the bread?

They serve it midway here.

I see.

The customers fill up with bread if it's served first.

If we have another baby, will you babysit?

Of course.

But the mother should raise her child.

It's the right thing to do.

I was just asking.

Actually,

I sometimes bump into fortune-tellers at the radio station,

and they all say Ji-a has to stay an only child to succeed.

A younger sibling would ruin her chances.

-Really? -Yes.

And if I have a son, he will have a conflict with Yu-sin.

What's a conflict?

Clashing in a bad way.

Why didn't you tell me?

You don't even believe in fortune-telling.

You have a point.

I guess it's not safe to ignore those signs.

Goodness. Quite a fast thinker, isn't she?

So cunning.

I should head back to the hospital.

-Why? -A patient can't be calmed down.

-A mental patient? -Yes.

Gosh, he never gets to enjoy a meal at ease.

Hello, Professor. This is Nam Ga-bin.

Remember how I offered to treat you to a meal before the seminar?

Do you have a date in mind?

This is my least busy time of the year.

Any day after tomorrow will be fine.

Did you have a good day?

Oh, I just watched something funny on YouTube.

Are you hungry?

-I'm good. -Doors closing.

SIN CENTRAL MEDICAL CENTER

Pi-young sure is clever, I'll give her that.

What do you mean?

Fortune-tellers saying that Ji-a shouldn't have a sibling?

That's what she must've heard. I doubt she made it up.

It's not that hard to come up with such a lie to avoid the situation.

Pi-young's a sweet woman with innocent intentions.

-More than me? -I was against their marriage at first.

But she's proven to be a good enough wife.

Men can be so gullible.

Why else would she not have had another child

when Yu-sin wanted one too?

Because it'll ruin her figure,

and it's tough to have a baby later in life.

Good postpartum care will give her figure back.

From what I hear, it's harder than you think.

Still, she should sacrifice herself for Ji-a's sake.

Why did she get married if she wanted convenience?

I wonder how late your dad will be.

-Yes? -Will you be late?

No, I'm just about to head home.

Okay.

Good morning.

Good morning.

-Would you like some? -Sure.

Sorry for leeching you off.

It's just some brewed tea.

So that day,

my wife felt a lump on the roof of her mouth.

Do you have one too? It's like a bump.

I don't.

She freaked out, so we saw a doctor. It turns out some people have it.

She was worried it might be cancer on our way to the doctor.

What a relief.

So some have it and some don't?

That's right. I didn't know about it either.

Did you pack your salad?

I didn't have time to go grocery shopping yesterday.

-Did you bring your breakfast today? -Yes.

I didn't even pay for the meal.

Don't pack any tomorrow then.

Starting tomorrow, I'll be working out in the evening.

Why?

-Ms. Song. -Oh, right.

Let's talk later.

-Don't you have an appetite? -That's not it.

Why aren't you having rice?

I crave toast from time to time.

You haven't gone horse-riding lately.

Is it the cold weather? But you need to relieve your stress.

I'm not stressed out.

But managing your patients and the hospital is stressful.

Have some after your meal.

Can you

eat an apple without making a sound?

Is that even possible?

Oh, like that young man who sat next to us on the train in Switzerland?

Right.

Impossible.

Mom!

Our puppy woke up.

You worked out before, right?

No, I'm a beginner.

But your muscles are already defined. It's been less than a month.

The trainer knows what he's doing.

Please join me. I packed plenty today.

Dinner will be on me then.

That's not necessary. Over there.

Right.

Am I forcing you to switch time slots

by mooching you off your food?

The meat's gotten cold.

Beef is good even when it's cold.

-Right? -Sure.

I'll treat you to a proper meal this time

to make up for last time.

It didn't even cost much.

I began working out in the morning to quit my nocturnal lifestyle.

I see.

But I get sleepy during the day.

I get sleepy after I get to work too.

I bet you rely on coffee. Espresso, to be exact.

It doesn't help.

You must've developed a tolerance for caffeine.

-Yes. -That's not good.

I heard that coffee is bad for you.

Maybe I should work out after work too.

What about your dinner gatherings?

We don't drink much these days anyway,

so I could easily come by after the meal.

I should do that.

I'd like to buy dinner today if you're free.

Gosh.

Only then will I feel less guilty about having your burdock tea.

It's too much for me anyway.

What would you prefer? You have meat every morning,

so how about sashimi?

-Do you know Im-Sushi? -Yes.

How does 6:30 p.m. sound?

-This isn't necessary. -I'll make a reservation under my name.

Sure.

Then you should bring your wife if she has time.

Sure.

But I doubt she'll come. She's busier than I am.

Unbelievable. I'm completely worn out.

It would've been nice if we had afternoon weddings back in the days.

I had to wake up at dawn to get my makeup done.

My skin was terrible because I barely slept.

-Why barely? -I couldn't sleep.

Were you nervous?

-Were you excited? -I had a lot going on in my mind.

What kinds of things were on your mind?

Imagine leaving your family to live with your in-laws.

Everything is scary and troubling.

Why are you laughing?

-Nothing. -What made you laugh?

I bet you couldn't sleep thinking of our first night together.

You always think from your perspective.

What's wrong with that?

It's reasonable thinking on a man's part.

-I'm just as decent on a woman's part. -So you think.

You always pretended to be so prim.

"Prim"?

-Me? -Yes.

In what way?

-That's just how you were. -Be more specific.

Would explaining it make you less prim?

You always think the least of me, don't you?

You were the excited one.

Excited, my foot.

Why would I have been that satisfied?

That's rich coming from the man who was in bliss.

-I remember it clearly. -I was pretending

just to be polite.

Unbelievable.

So this is what they mean by "change of perspective."

It was nice. There you go.

-It was great. -Forget it!

Why are you sulking about that?

You're a master at annoying people to the core, you know that?

Should I keep my mouth shut then?

Not all words are the same.

Your mouth is like a fire pit.

You always upset me with your choice of words.

Would it kill you to speak more nicely?

You're wearing that?

Wear a skirt.

I could wear a rag, and it still wouldn't be your concern.

Women should wear skirts.

Cut the sexist comments. The world is a different place now.

And you just can't help but always talk back to me.

You're right. The world has changed.

If it were the old days, you would've been kicked out.

I hope you'll be born a woman in your next life.

Will you be reborn as a man then? No, thank you.

Same here!

A woman with that face of yours would be too ugly to look at.

-Wear a skirt! -It's my choice.

From now on, I'll only wear clothes that I'm comfortable in.

I'm not going then.

Do you even know how hideous your butt looks?

What about your saggy butt?

-Mine's still firm. -As is mine.

It's not as good to look at now, so get over yourself.

Wear clothes that are appropriate for your age.

You have plenty to wear. You've bought so many.

I'm hollow inside due to all the money you sucked out of me.

I'm not going either!

That's less money to pay.

Who the hell are you?

Did something happen to Pi-young?

They say daydreams are never true, but…

Wait, slow down.

Slow down.

You're quite good.

Dr. Shin, it's been a while.

-Greetings. -I guess you must've been busy.

Yes, I had to go to the States.

-Where's your son? -He has to study hard now,

so I come alone.

I'm right on time, aren't I?

You must be a perfectionist.

Actually, I walked here since it was too close to take a cab,

but it took me longer than I thought.

-Where do you live? -T-Happy Apartments.

It's a long walk from there. You must be hungry.

-I'll enjoy whatever is served. -There's only one dinner course.

I see.

Isn't this place expensive?

The point of earning money is to eat what we want, right?

Right. Guess what I do for a living.

How did you know I'm a fortune-teller?

If you are, I'll give you my car…

No, wait. A membership would be better.

-Do you play golf? -No.

My father owns a country club.

Then you must work for your father.

No wonder.

What do you mean, "no wonder"?

That you're fit.

I don't think you need to work out anymore.

-Really? -Yes.

I don't work for my father though.

What do you think I do?

Judging by your age…

You look like a model.

Are you not? Don't you get that often?

A few times in university. I've been cast on the street a few times.

Anyone would've thought of the same thing.

Yes?

How about some warm sake with the sashimi?

-Sounds good. -Or cold sake?

I'm okay with either, so order what you want.

Okay. I'll order the most expensive one.

I mean you can order a cold saké if you want.

Here's the drink menu.

An Umai gindaijo, please.

-Sure thing. -Thank you.

A new employee at a big company.

No.

A designer.

-No? -I work at a law firm.

-Oh, so you went to law school. -Yes.

I finished my studies early, so I went to law school early too.

I'm sure you're a talented lawyer with a good heart.

You're flattering me, but it's nice to hear.

You probably received a lot of love and acknowledgment from your parents.

I guess.

I doubt you ever disappointed them.

-I did with my marriage. -Why?

They wanted me to marry someone a few years my junior,

but my wife is a year older.

These days, that's considered the same age.

But I haven't been a good son even after getting married.

Why's that?

Are you cold? I'll ask them to turn up the heater.

No, it's fine. My hands are a bit cold.

I forgot my gloves.

-I'm clumsy, you see. -You don't seem like the type.

-Not with my work, though. -What do you do for a living?

No, wait. That's not important.

We agreed not to have children.

-My parents aren't pleased with it. -Of course.

However, I've been leaning toward having one.

After marriage,

I've been to my colleagues' children's first birthday parties,

and I always find them adorable.

But it's not too late to have one.

My wife still doesn't want to.

Try talking her into it.

I haven't tried that yet

since I know it'll be a waste of time. She's not one to yield.

Come in.

What made you fall for her?

Her playing the drums.

Female drummers are the coolest.

I've been talking too much about myself.

-I'm having fun. -I want to as well.

My life's too ordinary.

Why aren't you married?

Wait. You're not, right?

I divorced after five years because I couldn't get pregnant.

Oh.

Despite my wanting one, I never got a child.

Having children is the way of nature.

Exactly.

Are you the oldest son?

No, I have an older brother.

That's why you get off the hook.

You should marry someone decent again.

I love my current life.

Marriage should be considered with only the best person.

You should marry someone, not because you feel the need to,

but because you can't break up with them

or live your life without them.

So no one like that has entered your life again?

No.

Gosh, please dig in. I've been making you talk too much.

Wasabi.

Gosh.

We emptied it.

Did you love your ex-husband?

Why else would I have married him?

-We dated in university. -Were you the same age?

Yes.

However,

I now feel like it wasn't true love.

-Why's that? -Shouldn't love

be an innocent feeling one has for another?

-That's right. -I liked him.

That's true.

However, I came to a conclusion

that I didn't truly love him.

Did he feel the same way?

I should've taken priority, not our potential child.

If he had truly loved me,

he wouldn't have easily agreed to the divorce

over our infertility issue. I know I wouldn't have.

One's emotions.

The heartache you have for another. The fact that it lessens…

is bitter and sad.

I know what you mean.

While married, love your wife with all your heart.

I should.

I'm going to,

but…

But what?

However,

love is relative.

Don't size up your love.

"Why don't you love me as much as I love you?

Why won't you love me to the same degree?

Never be like that.

What should I call you?

Gym buddy? Ms. Song Won?

Consider me a sister.

I only have one older brother, you see.

No older sister or younger siblings.

-I don't want to. -Why not?

I see you as a woman.

Please don't laugh. I'm not kidding.

But I am a woman.

I see you as a man as well.

Men come in different types.

An alpha male.

-An alpha male? -Yes.

Damn, that feels good.

You're the best.

We should grab another drink. No, wait.

Let's decide how to address each other first.

-Just call me by my name. -But that'd be rude.

That's the purpose of our names.

"Ma'am" would be wrong.

Then call me "Song Yuan."

Call me Song Yuan.

Did you major in Chinese?

I'm a translator. I mostly translate novels.

That's cool, Song Yuen.

It's "Song Yuan."

"Song Yuan."

"Song Yuan."

What would my name be in Chinese?

-"Xiexian." -"Xiexian." "Song Yuan."

That's right.

That'll be our names.

-"Xiexian." -That's right.

-I'm jealous. -Of what?

Without my parents, I'm as good as alone.

The only brother I have moved away to Jeju Island.

It's just me in Seoul now,

which is why I'm jealous of those whose parents are alive.

When did they pass away?

I was a junior in high school when my dad passed away

and a university freshman when my mom passed away.

I cried at my wedding.

Sorry, but I don't have a handkerchief. Use this.

I'll say this again.

Be good to your parents

while they're still alive.

Okay. I'll keep that in mind.

We should get going now. The plates and glasses are all empty.

No, wait a second.

So you'll work out in the evenings starting tomorrow?

Yes.

I should too. Which time slot?

The 8 p.m. session.

I'm going to go to bed right after I'm done.

No, let me.

Raise your arm.

Thank you.

You sound like a native Chinese woman.

Nonsense.

-What's "young lady" in Chinese? -"Guniang."

"Guniang."

That sounds interesting.

I enjoyed today's dinner.

The bill must've been steep especially with that expensive sake.

Not at all. It was all worth it.

How should I put this? The food was delicious, of course,

but I also enjoyed your company.

-We seemed to click. -Exactly. I lost track of time.

You should call a designated driver.

I was going to walk a bit to sober up.

-Let me take you home. -It's all right.

I'm going to walk for some exercise.

-Let me be your escort. -But it's cold.

You see, Song Yuan…

If I reek of alcohol, I'll be banished to the couch.

This is

how Lawyer Pan Sa-hyeon lives.

I was never like that.

My wife is mean, isn't she?

Why would she make her pretty husband sleep on the couch?

That's hardly how my wife sees me.

-I doubt it. -It's true!

She couldn't seem more feminine on the outside,

but boyishness runs in her DNA.

I feel tricked.

How long have you been married?

A little over two years, so we're in our third year of marriage.

Then you should work hard on your relationship

and keep building affection for one another.

It takes two hands to clap, you know.

I'm always the only one trying to make her laugh and flatter her.

Honestly, it's getting annoying.

But you're the man.

Be generous and be more understanding.

Men get upset too, you know.

If I show her this much effort,

shouldn't I get at least this much in return?

Of course.

What about her upsets you the most?

Don't walk with your hands in your pockets.

You'll break your arm if you trip.

Bye. Thanks.

-Hello. -Hi.

-This. -That'll be 10,000 won.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

Put these on.

-How much were they? -It's my gift.

No way.

You spent too much money today. I can't put you out like this.

Then buy me something in return.

Gosh, my neck's freezing.

You'll catch a cold if your neck is bare.

-This. -No.

This will suit you better.

-I'll take this, sir. -That'll be 20,000 won.

-I'll take it as it is. -Okay.

-Here. Thank you. -Thank you.

-Take care. -Thank you.

Here.

Put it on me.

That's warm.

Not only is my neck warm, but my heart is too.

Stay in place just like that.

-What are you going to do? -I'm going to disappear.

I haven't had

such a good time in a while.

My hands are warm too.

Thank you.

How do I look right now,

standing here?

Like Daddy-Long-Legs.

I mean,

an oppa.

Please forget it.

-Forget what happened tonight. -I don't want to.

-What's this? -What's what?

Your performance was impressive. Seo Dong-ma.

-Are you the secretary? -I'm Seo Dong-ma.

"Will marriage make me happy?"

So how is it?

I'm so happy to be living with you and your dad.

I'm glad I got married.

Hello? Mi?

-I'm back in Korea. -I'll be right there.

No, you can't.

-You're sending Dongmi to kindergarten? -Yes.

A kindergarten for dogs.

Puppies,

when your new friend hops on, don't bark.

Say, "Welcome!"

-Ji-a! -My parents-in-law are over there.

This is the writer of my radio program.

-And this is her husband. -I'm Park Hae-ryun.
