(Episode 4)

Why did you run away?

- I didn't... - Ms. Lee,

you are now a prime suspect,

do you understand?

You've been traveling a great deal.

Mostly the wild and remote places all around the world.

Why did you suddenly pack up and leave though?

Most parents wouldn't think about divorcing...

right before a child's wedding.

I hear your mother kept pushing for one.

Is that why you...

No.

I was exhausted,

and I wanted to get away from it all.

So you did run away.

According to your aunt, Ms. Oh Bong Ja,

you were born...

as the second daughter into a family who wanted a son.

You lived your life being discriminated...

in your own family.

Household chores were yours to do...

and you had to put yourself through college as well.

Your mother never brought you an umbrella on a rainy day...

and wasn't even present at your graduation ceremonies.

Is that true?

Despite the favoritism,

you studied hard and passed the state exam on your first try.

But just when you were about to marry a man five years younger,

your mother got in the way, so that probably made you angry.

It's why you decided to...

No!

Were you dumped by your fiance?

I wasn't,

but what does that have to do with anything?

Why wouldn't it matter...

when it could clearly be a motive?

Why are you stopping?

Where are we?

Hey, be gentle, will you? Are you allowed to be rough with me?

Where are we? Where did you bring me?

Where are we?

The chairman ordered you to stay here until further notice.

Two sets of underwear, two sets of workout gear,

and two pairs of socks.

How can I get by with this?

The chairman says you should wash your clothes.

Wait!

This is absurd. Aren't you my friend?

It'd be wise of you not to run away.

The chairman says you should stay within...

a 1km radius from this dorm room.

But...

Where's the money?

How can I live without any money?

Hey.

Sa Chae, let's talk.

At least give me the money you have on you.

Wait, stop. Stop!

Hey!

Byeon Ho must've forgotten the lock combination.

Hey, Byeon Ho.

Leave. Get lost.

Leave!

Let her in.

No, just tell that wench to leave.

Stop that.

Don't let her in here. Why would you?

Kick her out of here.

All right. I'll take care of this, so go to your room.

Go on.

Why hasn't the Grim Reaper taken her already?

I'm sorry, Gwang Nam.

How could you?

Still, I'm glad you're back.

I think Mom sent you to me.

Why did you lose so much weight?

I don't even know how I've held out for the past year.

I'm taking pills.

If it weren't for Gwang Tae, I wouldn't have lasted.

She's been through a lot...

taking care of me.

You know why she's being like this.

I do.

Are you done crying?

Get out.

Hey, Gwang Tae.

Don't touch me, you wench.

How could you swear at your sister?

I'm sorry.

You're not my sister.

Do you even think of me as your younger sister?

Gwang Tae.

You should've told me.

You should've at least told me you were leaving.

What was I supposed to do?

I didn't even know if you were dead or alive.

Do you know how much I missed you?

You just left without a word.

And Gwang Nam said she'd kill herself.

We had to be questioned by the police in the meantime,

and people pointed fingers at us.

How would I go through all that by myself?

It's been really hard to look after Gwang Nam 24 hours a day...

so she wouldn't do something stupid.

I needed you to hang in there.

How could you leave me alone?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Gwang Tae.

It's all my fault.

I'm so sorry.

I hate you.

I've missed you so much.

Me too.

About the stuff I kept in your basement storage.

I'll take them later, so keep them in there for now.

And keep those in there as well.

Okay.

We just have the utensils here when we can't even hold memorial rites.

Cheol Soo, open it later. It's not money though.

That darn punk.

What is it?

Nothing.

It's underwear that's good for your prostate.

They are also good for your virility.

Darn it.

Cheol Soo, do you have a place to stay?

I'll go wherever...

the wind and water take me.

At the terminal,

I'll just get on a random bus.

Will you unclog toilets?

I'm sick of doing it.

My whole life is clogged.

What's the use of unclogging toilets?

I don't want to do it anymore...

just to make a living.

Wherever you go, take good care of yourself.

And you can come back whenever you want.

Don't be silly.

I won't die anyway. Don't worry.

Once the killer is caught,

give me a call.

This is the first house I bought myself...

working my fingers to the bone.

You've lived here for about 20 years.

Right.

I wasn't going to sell this house no matter what.

Gwang Sik will come to see me someday.

That's what weighs on my mind.

She will come to me.

Staying here will only make you upset.

You should never open this.

So what are you going to do?

I'll find a studio first.

You don't have to. Just stay here.

Byeon Ho would feel uncomfortable.

Byeon Ho isn't like that.

Yes, he is.

No guy is as sweet as Byeon Ho.

I agree.

He's been good to you for 15 years and counting.

If he weren't like that,

I wouldn't have lived with him.

He had a crush on me for years.

And I married him because he tried so hard.

This is great.

I haven't seen you eat a lot like that in a while.

I know.

You're back with my lost appetite.

It's so nice to be with you guys.

Now it feels like everything is just right.

We are...

the Gwang Sisters.

Right. Don't you dare go off the grid ever again.

If you do, I'll kick your butt big time!

Go ahead and do it.

What's going on?

Do you think I can't?

- Come on. - Look at you. You're good.

Stop it.

What about this?

Stop it. I give up.

Don't mess with me.

- Byeon Ho. - When did you come?

Hi, Byeon Ho. Did you have a good day?

What happened?

Where have you been?

She hasn't even told us yet.

She'll tell us later.

Byeon Ho, are you hungry? Do you want some ramyeon?

We were eating it.

That sounds good. I want an egg in it.

Gwang Sik, have you forgotten about him already?

Why would a successful lawyer like him eat ramyeon?

Aren't I right, Byeon Ho?

Where has she been?

She says she traveled all around the wilds by walking.

- By walking? - Yes.

I just saw her feet. They were a mess.

I can never do that. I want to keep my feet pretty.

That sounds just like Gwang Sik.

She's the bravest one among your sisters.

And who's the prettiest one among my sisters?

- It's me, isn't it? - Let's say it is.

What do you mean, "let's say it is"?

Why are you late?

What?

We worked all night preparing for a trial.

I should get changed and go back to work.

What is it?

It smells like baby formula.

What are you talking about?

Maybe I drank too much milk.

(Real Estate Agency)

Hello.

Hello.

Are you looking for a house?

Not really.

I'm looking for a place where I can run a restaurant.

A cheap one.

I'm busy.

Mr. Tak got you a meeting.

I appreciate it, but I don't sing anymore.

My dream is money now.

I'm working for a moving company now. Bye.

Hang on.

You'd be dead if you keep working like that.

How many jobs do you work a day?

Just be an artist.

Once you make a hit, you'll strike it rich.

Think about BTS or Mister Trot.

You can't compare me to them.

It's only possible when you are talented and lucky.

Let's talk over some drinks later.

Take it up!

(Overnight Delivery)

Oh. Did you sleep well?

You're up early.

Have some breakfast.

I made beef and radish soup. It's what you like.

No, thanks. I don't eat breakfast. Your hard work was for nothing.

I cooked it for you.

- Have a nice day. - Bye.

Something smells nice.

The fridge was empty.

I had stuff delivered overnight.

Gwang Nam. Is it because I haven't seen him in a year?

Byeon Ho looks younger.

He's more energetic and seems happier.

The only exercise he used to do was breathe,

but a few months ago he started to exercise.

He goes out at 4 a.m. sharp.

He quit smoking and drinking...

and team dinners end with round one.

And he's always humming, but I don't know why.

You should be on high alert. Something's fishy.

How fishy could things be?

He can't live without me.

Let's wake Gwang Tae and eat.

- Already? - I'm hungry now that you're back.

What if I get fat?

Lee Gwang Tae!

Sanitize your hands first.

Peekaboo.

Blessing, were you waiting for daddy?

Peekaboo.

Hello, Mr. Bae.

Here you go.

Today's breakfast is...

doenjang jjigae with brisket, just what you like.

Thank you, Ms. Shin.

I know all the foods that you like.

What will you do about the job offer you got?

I decided to take it.

That's great.

Then will you get higher pay?

You bet.

That way our Blessing...

will get all he needs.

Our Blessing must really be a blessing.

I think everything's working out these days.

You're right.

Blessing, Blessing

Our little Blessing

Blessing.

On days like this,

I could die right now a happy man.

I wonder if I'm allowed to be so happy.

Thank you, Ms. Shin.

Before my seminar at Jeju Island,

let's celebrate my new job with Blessing.

Really?

Peekaboo.

Blessing.

It's been years since I was at a place like this.

I used to go to famous restaurants and cafes before I got married.

Now I'm too busy with the kids.

I envy you.

In words only. You adore your kids.

Do you feel the same? Your husband too?

My husband doesn't like kids.

When I suggested we be DINKs, he said okay right away.

You're well-off and I think you'd be great parents.

You might regret it when you're older.

No, thanks, lady.

We're happy enough with just the two of us.

Your husband will like it too.

You'll have more to talk about with him,

and it feels like you really have an ally.

Don't you want to see a kid that looks like you two?

No. I don't want to lose my figure.

Just the idea of childbirth horrifies me.

And I doubt I can focus solely on a kid.

A crying kid is enough to freak me out.

I can never do what you do.

It makes you happy enough to forget all that.

Our love for men doesn't compare to a mom's love.

I heard you DINKs hate it when someone suggests you have a baby.

But have just one.

Lady!

(Witness Appeal, 11:51 p.m. on March 2, 2020)

- What's taking so long? - Honey.

Once more and I'll divorce you.

I'm sorry, honey.

If I do it again, I'll cut off my own hand.

This looks so good.

Oh Taeng Ja, I'll kill you!

Hey, eat up.

- Who's that? - It's her.

She kept the card game going,

and I didn't hear the cops come in.

She's killer.

Darn you.

(Haeundae Orphanage)

(Haeundae Orphanage)

Mom!

My baby.

How have you been, Ttu Gi? Did you miss Mommy?

You bet I did. Did you show some remorse?

The judge cut my sentence short because I was good.

The judge let you off so you could look after me.

- Do you get that? - I do not.

You've grown a bit.

I visited you less than a month ago.

What's this? I can see your butthole.

This is how you make your legs look longer.

I feel like a drink.

Will you buy me a drink?

Yes, yes, look at me

Forget it!

Don't talk about alcohol when you just got out.

Did you have tofu?

I stole a chunk from some woman.

They all had husbands waiting, but only I didn't.

Shall I get you one second-hand?

There's not much to life.

No, thanks. I just need you.

Don't just say that and put your act together.

Quit gambling and do honest work.

What kind of honest work?

There's something to do everywhere.

The air here is different.

Ttu Gi. When the world is in turmoil,

it's best to lie low for a while.

What? What does that mean?

You'll see.

I'm hungry. Let's get something nice to eat.

What shall we have? Pork belly and soju?

- No soju. - Okay.

If...

we had a kid, what would it be like?

Why would you...

wonder about that now?

Right?

I just thought about it.

But...

But what?

What would it be like if we had a kid now?

Forget it. Why have a kid now?

- I can't do it. - You don't have to have it.

What?

Daehan Hospital.

My friend's father died.

During the night?

Dying has nothing to do with the time.

You're right.

Were you talking about adopting just now?

Watch who you're talking to.

I have to go.

- Where are you going? - What?

To a funeral. A friend's mother died.

- Dressed like that? - Why?

- You should wear black. - I'm rushing.

It's still a funeral.

(Emergency Ward)

A friend's mom?

He told me it's his dad.

I heard him too. He said mom.

You must've misheard him.

It's quite a lot because you don't have insurance.

Come by tomorrow to see the doctor.

Okay.

We haven't registered his birth yet because we don't have a name.

Honey. Have your father name him something nice.

Okay. Thank you.

I should register him as my son.

What?

My son.

I'll get him a name and a social security number.

I'll have him legally acknowledged as a human being.

He came to me and made me a mom.

I can't let him live like a nameless wildflower.

Give me time.

I'll register him as my son.

I'm trying to get the timing right.

The timing?

He's over 100 days old.

You don't have the guts or the intention.

How could you when you got here under the pretense of a funeral?

I'll register him as my son, clean and simple.

Ms. Shin.

Ms. Shin!

Ms. Shin!

(Shining under Starlight)

Are you home?

Yes, please come in. The door's open.

Goodness. Hello.

You called for a housekeeper.

Which house is it? What should I do?

Actually, that's not the job.

I just need you to accompany me someplace.

(Add salty condiments first so that they'll wilt.)

It'll all go smoothly. Don't you worry.

Right.

Greetings.

Hello.

No one answered, right?

Your daughter-in-law is home though.

Really?

My gosh.

I see you were home.

I rang on the door several times.

I was busy getting ready to hear it.

I made some kimchi.

I told you not to bring any over.

I wasn't going to,

but it just happened to turn out delicious this time.

Bae Seul will love it.

He loves fresh kimchi, you see.

He has a picky palate and hates sour ones.

His preference has changed now.

He enjoys kimchi that is even bitterly sour.

So don't bring things like this anymore.

Throwing it out is annoying enough.

You throw it out?

Don't and give it to Bae Seul to eat.

Take it home so that it won't turn sour.

Gosh, it stinks!

Darn, you're annoying.

What?

Why do you keep coming by...

when your daughter-in-law is clearly annoyed?

Meanwhile, my daughter-in-law is sweet even though I'm not well off.

She's always so kind with her words too.

Whatever.

Goodness.

My gosh.

(For healthy prostates)

Are you coming back from someplace?

It's none of your business.

Why are you back when you said you wouldn't be?

I already told you why.

It's because of Mom's will.

Should I recite it again?

- "Ye Seul..." - Stop. I know it by heart now.

Why did she leave you such a will?

It makes you feel guilty, right?

That's why I keep mentioning it.

You asked for hair-loss and prostate medication.

I also bought some pork belly, so have it for dinner.

Don't skip meals just because you live alone...

and stay alive for decades to come.

That way, you'll get to see me find success.

As if that would ever happen.

I've been extremely busy these days.

See the money I have in my account?

Let's see how much you have.

Don't bother to know everything.

Han Ye Seul will rise again.

I'll soon be rich. Just you wait and see.

Are you done wanting to be a singer?

After all the time wasted trying to be a singer.

Didn't you cry when you cut off your hair?

Did you make kimchi?

The darn rat refused, didn't he?

Of course, he didn't.

Did the jerk turn it down?

Stop calling him names. He's still your older brother.

I brought it back since no one was home.

Why didn't you leave it with the security guard?

He wasn't in his booth.

Then why didn't you leave it outside the door with a memo?

I didn't have anything to write with.

Why was it tipped over?

It was heavy, so I dropped it.

I bet you didn't even get to see your grandchild.

What's with you today?

Are you out for blood?

How can you call her your daughter-in-law...

when she won't even let you see your grandchild?

Bae Seul's the one to blame, you know.

She treats you that way because he doesn't respect you.

My eldest son, my foot.

What are you talking about?

On your phone, my name is saved under "Two",

but his is saved under "My Eldest Son".

It's your fault for looking into my phone.

Is that so?

Why do you ask me to buy this for you then?

Why not ask your eldest son?

It's not even saved under "Second".

I guess you were too bothered to type in the rest.

Not younger son, second son,

or even number three. It's just under Two.

Go home.

I bet it kills you to have been slapped with the truth by Two.

You're embarrassing me too,

so don't go to him anymore.

Why bother when all they do is ignore you?

He didn't even invite you to his wedding, remember?

Darn you!

You!

Here.

The uterine polyp was successfully removed,

so don't you worry.

I can't believe you called a stranger to accompany you...

to the hospital.

Was there no one to call?

I read on the chart...

that it's your birthday today...

which is why I made this.

I hope the seaweed soup can replenish your energy.

It seems like you live alone.

Don't you have any children?

What about a husband?

What's with all the books though?

Why do I even have a womb when it can't conceive any children?

You see, I'm 60 soon,

and I regret two things in life.

The first one would be not having any children.

I didn't think it'd be an issue,

but I regret it deeply now that I'm older.

Marriage is something that must be written in the cards,

but you could've chosen to still have a child.

Women these days consider sperm donations.

That's how Sayuri had her baby.

When I was young, that was never an option.

You couldn't have a child unless you were married.

What's the other thing you regret?

Doing something no one gives me credit for.

Thinking back on it now, he was just another guy,

but I thought of him as someone special...

and bet my whole life on him.

You must've been in love with someone's husband.

You can manure the soil in an orchard all you want.

It'll still be the owner who harvests the fruit.

Even with that in mind,

women can be quite brave.

And men can be cowards.

Why else would you tell your story to a complete stranger?

Since you're a stranger,

it made it that much easier to say.

Thank you so much for today.

It was easy money made on my part.

Find fun in life.

It's too short, you know.

It'll be over before you know it.

If I were your age,

I'd be skipping everywhere.

Sure.

- Congratulations - Congratulations

- Congratulations on being scouted - Congratulations on being scouted

- Congratulations - Congratulations

Byeon Ho, congratulations.

I hear you were scouted by a big law firm.

Please blow out the candles.

- This way. - What?

- Come on. - Take a seat.

We three prepared this meal for you.

But I need to get going.

But the flight's later tonight.

I have to stop by the office.

Byeon Ho, preparing this meal wasn't easy.

Although, Gwang Sik did most of the work.

Byeon Ho, at least eat some of it.

Take a bite to thank who made it.

We'll party first...

and then discuss our son.

Byeon Ho, it's about the funeral you went to recently.

Was it your friend's mom or the dad who passed away?

The father.

See? What did I tell you?

But he said it was the mother. Right, Gwang Sik?

Gosh, it's good.

Gwang Sik, your cooking is the best.

Byeon Ho, isn't it good?

Here you go.

I'll eat it myself.

Byeon Ho, come on. Please?

You're lucky to have two beautiful sisters-in-law.

We're not exactly beautiful.

We're pretty enough.

Byeon Ho, you must get quite the pay raise.

I'd appreciate some pocket money.

No wonder you've been kissing up to him today.

Of course.

Can I expect a lot?

My salary isn't all that different.

What? Why would you take the job if there is no raise?

The work will be easier for me.

Exactly. Being at ease always trumps extra money.

- It's good. - Everything turned out so well.

Who is it?

It's me.

Leave. What if someone sees you?

I'm coming in.

Why would you?

It's your birthday today.

Let's have some cake.

I never said I wanted any.

I'm sorry, Bong Ja. I understand how you feel.

As if you do.

I had a uterine polyp surgically removed today.

The hospital told me to bring a guardian,

but I hired a housekeeper to take me instead.

Are you okay?

What did the doctor say? Are you all right?

Please leave.

What about your nieces?

You're the one who practically raised them.

We are the loneliest when sick...

which gets worse when you live alone.

You could've called me.

I wouldn't be feeling this wronged if I had a child of my own.

If I could, I'd turn back the clock 35 years to before we met.

Then I would've gotten married myself...

and lived a normal life as a wife and mother.

Who do you think you are ruining my life like this?

If only we had met sooner.

I was all set to marry a woman...

my father set me up with,

and that's when you appeared before me.

It wasn't by choice, you know.

I was running an errand for Cheol Soo.

I was making porridge for the cattle...

when you walked through the gate.

The moment I locked eyes with you,

the porridge was put on a back burner.

You crushed me from within.

As if.

I mean it.

The wedding date was drawing near,

and I felt like my blood was drying up.

It was killing me which is why I went to see you.

You said you also fell in love at the sight of me making porridge.

And because of that porridge-making jerk,

my life was ruined.

We agreed to elope the night before your wedding,

and so I waited for you at the station.

The snow that had started to fall was coming up to my knees,

but you were nowhere to be seen.

I almost turned into a snowman waiting for you.

Shivering in the cold!

It wasn't even Andong Station I waited at,

but I cry whenever I hear the song "At Andong Station".

Did you know that?

I was ready to go to you.

I had made my way out the door,

but my mom was crying at the main gate.

"Dol Se, please don't go."

"You were sold to pay back your father's gambling debt."

"It's you the daughter wants."

"If you leave,"

"the whole family will be beaten to death."

So I stayed and married her.

After having our first child, I still couldn't make it work.

So we decided to elope again, right?

Did your mom stop you again?

Yes.

"Take me with you, then."

"I'd rather go with you than be beaten by your father."

She thought everything would end in a beating.

Tell me about it.

So I stayed and tried to make the marriage work.

But I still couldn't even after we had our second child.

That's when we decided to elope again for the third time.

But someone grabbed me by the leg.

Who? Your mother?

No, my wife.

She grabbed my leg as I was about to leave that night.

"Honey, please don't go. I have cancer."

What could I do after hearing that?

I didn't know it was a lie until later on...

and helped her recover for years.

Can you believe it?

She was then punished for her lies...

and ended up dying before me.

Can you believe our story?

Fate must've played games with us.

Don't say that it's fate when it clearly isn't.

Do you have any idea...

how I always had to live in fear...

of my nieces finding out?

It killed me every time my sister threatened me with it.

Threaten you how?

She threatened to tell them about our relationship.

Your dead sister...

threatened to tell her daughters about us?

That wench.

I'm done talking to you, so leave.

When my wife died after being bedridden for years,

I wanted to be with you, but I stayed back.

I didn't want to be accused of coming to you now that I'm single.

So I stayed back for a decade.

And I've been the most at ease during that decade.

Is that so?

Well, I've been broken all throughout that time.

I barely functioned after the stroke I had,

all while still loving you.

That must be the punishment I was given.

I was made to love you forever.

I wished for you to come by.

Every time the window rattled in the wind,

I expected to see you there.

I knew the chances were low,

but I still got my hopes up.

Knowing that it can't be you.

Are you Na Hoon A or what?

I don't care if I'm Na Hoon A or not.

Bong Ja.

Why do you think I left my hometown and came all the way to Seoul?

I'm here to see you.

Just to see your face.

I watched you open your fish shop in the morning.

(Shining Sun Fish Market)

And I left only after you turned off the light in your room at night.

That was my only pleasure in life.

Watching you from a distance...

was my only pleasure.

So what can you do, you coward?

I'm a coward, but I can at least protect you.

I can melt your icy-cold heart.

Do whatever you want.

You can curse at me or hit me if you want.

You're just all talk.

How could you say such a thing after giving me up three times?

It's not like you're a woodcutter from a fairy tale.

You caved in every time you had a baby.

How could you make fun of me like that?

So you say you didn't care about your wife.

But why did you have kids with her when you didn't care about her?

Now that your wife is gone, do you miss me?

I don't need a punk like you.

Get out.

Leave.

I'll get rid of this.

Just get out!

I have something to tell you.

Let's meet up now.

- What about Blessing? - My neighbor is looking after him.

You should've brought him. I miss him.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the party the other day.

Oh, right.

It's perfume.

I bought this at a duty free shop.

- Mr. Bae. - Hang on.

(Princess)

Yes.

I just got here, so I'm meeting with a client now.

I bought the perfume.

Okay. I'll come home early.

You were talking.

Don't come to my house again.

I won't let you meet Blessing.

I feel like I'm your mistress, and I hate it.

Technically, you are just his biological father.

- What? - He starts to recognize people.

I don't think this is right.

You take good care of your family.

And I'll live alone only with Blessing.

- All right then. - Wait.

Bless is my son. Why are you being like this all of a sudden?

It's not sudden.

And he's not Bless. He's Blessing.

He's not your son, but mine.

I have hypertension and cardiac infarction,

so I shouldn't be stressed out.

But things have been really tough.

Even though Blessing...

was born out of wedlock,

but I won't raise him in a miserable way.

Just wait.

I'm trying to figure out legal ways.

Ways to do what?

Once I register his birth as a kid out of wedlock,

you know what will happen since you're a lawyer yourself.

I don't need this darn perfume.

Gosh, I'm furious.

She's eating beef jangjorim in a shabby place like this.

She's even eating it from the container.

Actually,

I've meaning to tell you this.

The moment I saw you, I thought you were my ideal type.

There he goes again.

I fell for you at first sight.

I mean it.

You're so annoying.

Let's date. This is our first day.

Will you share it with me?

Let's get married.

That's the creepiest proposal I've ever heard.

I'm begging you.

Will you stop bothering me when I eat?

That's so pathetic.

Just give me some.

Gosh, you can't do this to your neighbor.

It gives me a great sense of deprivation.

How could you eat beef living in this tiny studio?

I should save money and move out.

I can't take this anymore.

- See? - Why would you report it?

If you're jealous, ask your mom to make some for you.

I wouldn't live like this if I had a mom.

How rich are your parents?

They don't check the prices when they go to a restaurant.

How old are you?

I'm 29.

We're of the same age. What do you drive?

Benz and Porsche.

Yes!

Are you busy today?

I'm on my way to a sushi bar in a hotel.

That's it for today.

(The chat has ended.)

I want to eat sushi.

I should put some rice in my ramyeon.

- What on earth? - Darn it.

Why did you get up so suddenly?

I'm the one who should be mad.

What will you do about my shirt?

- What about my ramyeon? - What?

I was going to eat it with some rice.

I left the soup for this.

How could you say that looking at my shirt?

You can just wash your shirt.

But the soup I spilled can't be retrieved.

- Compensate for it. - How can I compensate for ramyeon?

- Do you want me to squeeze this? - What are you talking about?

- Forget it. - Forget it.

Pay the laundry bill.

Do you know when people get most upset?

When you are about to eat, you lose your food.

That's when people get most furious.

There's even a doctor's thesis about that.

Put yourself in my shoes. Am I wrong?

I don't want to put myself in your shoes.

This isn't working.

You seem to be a regular here.

You owe me a ramyeon.

Gosh, my ramyeon.

- Hey! - Bye.

I guess Ki Jin is starved.

He's been struggling to stand on his own feet.

Ki Jin can't stand hunger though.

Order jjajangmyeon.

- A big portion. - I'll ask for extra pickled radish.

Hi, Byeon Ho. Did you have a good day?

Hi, Byeon Ho.

You should go in.

Did something happen?

Did you lose the case?

What about dinner?

Don't ask me. You don't cook for me anyway.

That's because you eat before you come home.

I come home after I eat because you don't cook.

Why is it so hard to cook when you do nothing at home?

What? What is it that I didn't do?

The housekeeper comes only three times a week, so I do the rest.

You can't find a wife like me.

I'm pretty, slim...

I don't need a pretty and slim wife.

Just cook for me once.

You told me to sleep without cooking breakfast.

But I didn't know you wouldn't make breakfast for 15 years.

I just said that once when we got married, but 15 years...

You do as I say only for things like that.

Why are you saying this after all these years?

You don't eat at home, so I even got rid of your plates and spoons.

I poured boiling water into your cup noodles before.

Thank you for pouring water into my cup noodles.

You shouldn't have gotten married.

- What does that mean? - You heard me.

I heard you. What's that supposed to mean?

Stop pouncing on my words.

To be honest, I don't even want to come home lately.

You just laugh and chat with your sisters.

It's like I live with three women.

I can't change in comfort or relax in the living room.

"Hi, Byeon Ho. Have a nice day."

What if it's not a nice day? Am I their friend?

They only buy sundae and tteokbokki for themselves.

If I try to have some,

"Special people like you wouldn't eat this."

Why wouldn't I eat that? I can eat it just fine.

Why are you like this today?

If you lost a case, don't complain and go to bed.

Do I complain about work at home?

I just voiced my discomfort.

My sisters make you feel uncomfortable?

Gwang Tae saved my life.

Keep your voice down.

So I kept quiet for a year while she stayed with us.

Your family has lots of problems.

Are you saying we're dysfunctional?

I did not say that.

Get away from there.

- Stop it. You'll get caught. - Wait.

I'm embarrassed you had to see that.

He was never like this.

He looks down on us because we have nothing.

It's not about our family.

Anyone would be annoyed in this situation.

Would you like living in a house full of brothers-in-law?

I didn't think about that.

I'll move out with Gwang Tae.

You're not going anywhere. Half of this house is mine.

Even if we divorce and split assets, half of it is mine.

- That's right. - Don't you say that.

Divorce isn't a hobby.

Mom and Dad were enough. Not you too.

We shouldn't have moved in. We'll leave.

What got into Byeon Ho? Is he having an affair?

I'd kill him, then.

It's that way.

(Real Estate Agency)

Gwang Sik.

Auntie.

You could've texted me to say you're back.

Were you very upset?

Don't even bother asking.

I know you're all avoiding me.

I know that.

Do you think I did it?

It's not that.

We all went out of our minds when Mom died.

More than anything,

it hurts that we drifted apart.

I missed you so much.

Auntie. I'm sorry.

It was wrong of me.

I have a lot to say,

but I'm holding back.

What about?

Later. Telling you now will only make you worry.

Don't go anywhere else and move into my building.

Someone's about to move out.

This is a mess.

Can't I stay with Gwang Nam?

Quiet.

The two of us can't share one room.

We will for now.

We have to carry our suitcases up the stairs too.

Auntie.

Hey.

I told you to come alone. Why did you bring her?

It's so annoying.

Can't we go to a flashy studio in Gangnam?

My apartment's much nicer than those in Gangnam.

It's the biggest room in the area.

You can cook for yourselves if you want to.

If you want to eat with me, pay for the food.

I got rid of the bed in case it took up too much space.

That's perfect.

What'll you do now that you're not a civil servant?

The ex-civil servant will open a restaurant.

How can you run a restaurant?

I'm a pretty good cook,

and I cooked since I was young.

Running a restaurant is different.

So many places are closing down because of COVID-19.

Deliveries might work.

I'll open a small store that caters to single people.

I won't cook too many things. Just one menu a day.

The main dish changes each day, like stewed fish or kimchi jjigae,

and I'll provide a few basic side dishes.

People can eat what they're given without having to worry what to eat.

Just like at home.

It might work if you target people who live and eat alone.

Did you find a place?

She signed a contract already.

It's in the area, not far from here.

I think that Gwang Nam has the easiest life.

I should date a rich man too.

You're against marriage.

I'll just flirt with them.

I'll make them buy me nice food,

take me places, and buy me gifts.

What idiot would put that much into someone he won't marry?

I bet there's at least one in the world.

This is your problem.

As if that rich guy would end up with you.

If you want to find a nice guy, you must make yourself nice first.

Climb to the level you want the guy to be.

There you go again.

Don't rely on the guy. It's pitiful.

Women get chewed out for that nowadays.

Who said I'll rely on him?

I won't stop him from spending on me if he wants to.

To be honest, what woman doesn't like good food or handbags?

They just pretend not to.

What about you, Auntie? Would you dislike such a guy?

Why would I? They just don't exist.

I don't care for a man without money, a home, or a car.

And guys who live in a gosiwon and split the bills are a no-no.

You need to grow up.

Well done.

Hello, Bong Ja.

What? Gwang Sik's back?

Is she okay? Is she normal?

Where was she?

She won't go into detail.

She seems to be in good health.

Then it's fine.

It's fine if she's alive.

Mister, stop dusting the blankets and light the charcoal.

The customers are coming in.

Okay.

(Witness Appeal, 11:51 p.m. on March 2, 2020)

(A Spoonful of Moonlight)

(Get your own side dishes.)

(Don't worry what to pick. Mom's cooking)

Gosh.

Can I eat?

Not yet. Come back tomorrow.

Thank you.

Are you just opening up?

Oh, dear.

What should I call this?

What? Do you know me?

Don't you remember me?

I got a nosebleed trying to stop you in a fight.

Was it around this time last year? We both had a nosebleed.

Oh, my hair was long then.

You remember, don't you?

Is this fate?

Every encounter would be fate if you put it that way.

The store owner, rice seller, dry cleaning lady.

I'm sorry about the nosebleed.

Why did you get involved?

I was afraid you'd get beaten up.

I was winning.

I could've half killed her if you hadn't gotten in the way.

She already was half dead.

What happened to the cheater?

You didn't marry him, did you?

I'd rather not talk about that.

Isn't it rude to ask stuff like that to someone you barely know?

Sorry.

Darn you!

Darn it.

What's your problem?

Are you kidding me?

I caught you red-handed.

Arms up!

What are you doing?

Up!

Don't you even breathe.

Hello? Is this the police?

Name, Lee Gwang Sik.

It's not.

Do I look like a "Gwang Sik" to you?

It's actually the name of the jerk I hated in school.

Not you.

Her.

Lee Gwang Sik?

How much trouble must one cause to be on a first-name basis with a cop?

- I knew it. - Your name?

It's Ye Seul. Han Ye Seul.

Like the actress Han Ye Seul?

Yes, that's right.

Han Ye Seul.

She milked a guy for everything she had.

Sorry?

I was talking about my friend.

That wench has the same name.

Ms. Lee, why did you assault Mr. Han?

I already explained this.

He was following me, so...

I wasn't following you. I was on my way home.

Don't you lie. You were following me.

I don't just follow any random woman.

You followed me to the building entrance.

Because that's where I live.

I moved in today.

Are you suspicious of everyone?

Even on the subway platform,

you accused me of wanting to get your number.

What are you talking about?

Just forget it.

You seem to have the worst memory.

- What? - Detective,

I never followed her there. I'm innocent.

"I'm innocent." That's what they all say in here.

But it's the truth.

Then tell me the name of the building.

What was it again?

I rented out Unit 301...

and "star" was part of the name.

As in Starry Night?

That's right. It finally came to me.

Detective, he's lying. He doesn't know the name.

A scumbag like him should be imprisoned.

Scumbag?

That's not something I can do.

Once a judge grants a warrant...

I really know the name.

Twinkling Star, maybe?

Shining Star? I'm telling you that "star" is part of the name!

Then, name the property owner.

What's with all the questions?

How can I know the owner's name?

It's written on the contract.

And it's at home. Who carries the contract around?

- Don't you agree? - Don't ask me.

A landlord or a landlady?

A landlady.

You guessed, didn't you?

I was never good at guessing,

so I graduate school with the lowest score.

A woman rents out the units.

Let's head over there and check.

Ms. Lee, you'd make a good detective.

As if. She'd only arrest the innocent.

Just check, why don't you?

Detective, can I make a phone call?

Hey, Auntie.

Did someone move into one of the units today?

It's a guy...

by the name of Han Ye Seul.

Yes, that's right. Unit 301.

How did you know that?

You shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

It was too dark for me to see.

Why are there no lights at the entrance?

I never got around to fixing them.

I'll get it done tomorrow.

I'm sorry about all this, Unit 301.

It's not you who should apologize.

Could I have broken some bones?

Bones don't break that easily. What a wimp.

Blood was pouring out of my nose.

What a liar.

What kind of a guy gets nosebleeds so easily?

It happened twice because of you, you know.

How is that my fault?

Do you know each other?

- Yes. - Nonsense.

Of course, not. Why else would I have called the cops?

Unit 301, thank you for settling despite the nosebleed.

How can I make this up to you?

Would free meals...

for a month at her diner make it even?

- Really? - That's not for you to offer!

This is way cheaper.

It'd be nice if this could settle things.

Maybe you can become a regular afterward?

Fine, I'll settle for a month's worth of free meals.

It's thanks to her that I'm letting it slide.

The deal will be nullified if the food isn't good enough.

She may not seem like the type, but she's a good cook.

I'll make sure yours taste awful.

You still haven't caught the culprit?

This is killing me.

There aren't any witnesses.

Hi, kid. How can I help you?

I'm here about the placard at the intersection.

I saw something that night.

Really?

Gosh, this looks good.

Isn't the pig adorable?

You got a cute one.

Should I help?

Okay, nicely done.

- Hey. - Is everything ready?

- What do you think? - You have everything you need.

Look at the adorable pig's head.

The diner will be a great success.

Let's begin.

We'll now begin the opening ceremony of Gwang Sik's diner!

Ta-da.

You prepared every type of bill.

Please let me run a successful business.

- We beg you. - We beg you.

Let her be showered with money.

- We beg you. - We beg you.

Please let her become rich.

Please let my sister be a landlady someday.

I came prepared as well.

- Here. - In an envelope too.

Of course.

Goodness. I see you're all gathered here.

You must be opening a diner.

What brings you by, detective?

A witness has finally surfaced.

- Did you identify the killer? - Who was it?

The killer was right under our noses...

although that much was suspected.

The killer is...
