Honey, please.

Honey?

Honey?

Honey.

Are you all right?

Honey? Gwang Nam!

Gwang Nam?

(Episode 10)

Are you okay?

("Swan Lake")

You've had enough.

Hit me instead.

Hit me instead. Go on!

Hit me.

Go on!

Hit me.

Hit me instead!

Hit me all you want.

It's okay.

Please don't cry, Gwang Nam.

Where did that come from? Did you steal it?

It was a gift from the heavens.

Great luck must be in the cards for me.

And that came in the form of me.

Something's definitely fishy, you know.

Come on. Tell me where you got it.

Goodness. What happened to your wrist?

Auntie, did you injure yourself?

Ttu Gi, go to your uncle.

Sure.

I knew it, Mom.

Did you sell the ring?

You know I did. No one came back for it, right?

- How much did you get for it? - Why do you need to know?

How much did you sell it for?

1,300 dollars.

What? 1,300 dollars?

I asked around and sold it at the highest price.

I kissed up to the owner of the jewelry store...

at the intersection,

and he thought it was because I actually liked him.

You sold that expensive ring for just 1,300 dollars?

It's worth 5,000!

Don't be so stupid.

Its value dropped the moment it was bought.

He did say a new ring would be worth 5,000 dollars though.

How did you know when it's not even yours?

- Because it's mine. - Liar.

Where would you get a ring like that?

Why not?

Who says I can't own a ring like that?

I got it for my poor hand that spent its life gutting fish.

A stingy person like you spending 5,000 dollars on a ring?

Even the neighborhood dog would bark at that.

It was a gift.

As if.

Who'd be crazy enough to buy you a ring that's worth 5,000 dollars?

I mean...

Is that what you think of me?

As someone not worthy of receiving a ring?

I didn't mean it like that.

I don't need the money, so get up.

It's already a done deal.

Give it here.

Stop it, will you?

Bong Ja, I'm sorry.

This is how you've always been.

You get in my way every time.

Stop being so dramatic over a ring someone lost.

You've always been this way.

You got in my way at every pivotal moment.

I couldn't attend college...

because you ran off with my tuition money.

It was the money I saved up since middle school...

working my butt off at Mom's fish stand.

Fine, I'm sorry. Okay?

Why must you dredge up the past, anyway?

I had my reasons.

What reason could you possibly have?

You only ran off because you felt like it.

Darn wench.

What are you doing?

Bong Ja, stop. Don't!

Bong Ja!

I don't ever want to see you again.

Get lost, you darn thief.

Do you know why I ran away from home?

There's a story behind this smile, you know.

You don't know half of it!

Is jjajangmyeon your favorite?

Yes.

Ttu Gi, get out here.

Auntie!

You think owning a building makes you better than me.

Beg for her forgiveness.

Forget it. I'm done doing that.

- Ttu Gi. - Uncle.

Please talk to Aunt Bong Ja for us.

I'm afraid I'm not in a position to do that.

I can't help you stay.

I'm terribly sorry.

Uncle, take care.

Take care, Ttu Gi.

I knew it.

- Did you check that she's home? - Yes.

Detective Kim, bring your cuffs.

It's not wise to be hasty though.

Without definitive evidence,

a confession isn't enough these days.

Right. You're absolutely right.

When in a hurry, one should take the long way around.

I can't ruin a case that's almost solved.

She's a rat in a trap anyway.

Bang Gi,

this is 1,300 dollars which is all I have.

I'll come by again once I earn more.

From your mom.

What is it?

I'm not doing anything. Why?

Then come out to meet me.

I have something to tell you, so let's eat outside.

Just make sure you don't wear that awful green cap of yours.

See? You look way better without that cap of yours.

You get that from me.

Coming from someone without double eyelids.

I have inner double eyelids. Look.

This is a more charming look for men anyway.

Not double eyelids.

Shouldn't you be working?

It's my day off.

I saw how much you enjoyed this before,

so I figured I'd give you a surge of energy.

Why should I bother when I have no use for it?

You need energy to shoot out a straight line of urine.

How's the prostate medicine? Has it been helping?

If the effects were immediate, it would've won the Nobel Prize.

Nothing good comes with old age.

But you're the great Han Dol Se.

That Han Dol Se is now long gone.

Anyway, don't drink so fast.

Due to a longer lifespan,

50 is the new 30 now.

From what I can tell, you have another good 50 years.

So why not get yourself a girlfriend?

Forget it.

Just like that?

I work at a club, remember?

Didn't I tell you?

Doing what? Working tables?

Not exactly.

Over here!

- Who's she? - Your girlfriend.

Starting today.

She's only 49, so you hit the jackpot.

Please have a seat.

This is my father.

Hello.

The Queen of Bar Snacks.

Meet Ms. Park.

He looks young for his age.

Doesn't he?

You must work out a lot.

I don't.

It seems like he does though, right?

My dad was a hotshot back in the day.

His muscles would grow simply by just breathing.

Oh, I see.

Dad, pour her a drink.

Okay.

So you're Miss...

Park.

Ms. Park. I'm sorry to say this when we just met, but I should be honest.

I guess my son tried to set us up because he doesn't know anything.

I may look fine, but I'm a mess inside.

I have a prostate problem, so I can't even pee well.

I keep waking up to pee in the middle of the night.

Everything is quite embarrassing.

Gosh, what do you think of me?

Do you think all I care about is how a man can pee well?

You sick jerk.

This is wrong.

Ms. Park. Ma'am.

Ms. Park, wait.

He should call her either Ms. Park or ma'am.

What's Ms. Park ma'am?

- What's wrong with you? - What did I do?

Why did you even talk about peeing?

When I meet someone new at my age, I need to be honest.

I can't lie to her.

So why did you do such a useless thing in the first place?

I didn't tell you to get married.

You could just eat with her and go to a movie with her.

I don't want you to act miserable sitting alone on the riverbank.

Do you know you smell like a widower?

Leave me alone.

I smell like a widower because I am.

When did you see me sitting on the riverbank?

Did you not know that you have a CCTV camera on your head?

Why would you touch your hair?

You make me laugh.

I don't need a girlfriend, but you should get one.

(Shining Sun Fish Market)

Bong Ja, I'll listen to you from now on.

And I'll learn now to chop fish.

I'll work hard to make money and pay you back.

And I'll buy a building like you did...

so I can head straight to the VIP room when I go to a bank.

- Is that what Ttu Gi said? - You know it.

You should bow to Ttu Gi, you wench.

I already made 12 bows to her.

I don't know how I got a girl like her.

What about the money?

I don't have the money yet.

You crazy wench.

Uncle Cheol Soo.

Hey, Ttu Gi.

I'm glad you're here.

You can play with my teddy bear later.

I don't think you can say that.

He's living off Auntie like we do. What can he do?

You should understand him.

Why did you not come the other day? The braised croaker was good.

My gosh.

How could she do this to your face?

Is she giving you a hard time without letting you sleep and eat?

Then why did you start the whole thing in the first place?

None of this would've happened if you didn't follow me that day.

I'm sorry.

I was afraid Blessing would grow up without a dad.

I couldn't wait any longer because you wouldn't have...

Blessing in your family register until he goes to school or enlists.

I'll meet her and take care of this.

Will you just stay still?

Even if my wife comes to see you, don't do anything.

Go see Blessing before you leave.

I made your favorite blowfish maeuntang.

My wife has a serious illness.

And she's already weak without it.

Mr. Bae.

Don't worry too much and just make your decision.

What do you mean?

Think about your mom.

She would be furious to know that your wife did this to your face.

I would lose my mind if it happened to Blessing.

Don't think of anything else. Just come to me.

Why would you even hesitate when you have Blessing?

Just come to me.

I'll wait for you.

Where have you been?

Did you go to see her while I was sleeping?

I was in my office.

"Ms. Lee, it's all my fault. So please don't hit Blessing's dad."

"I'll beg you on my knees, so please leave Blessing's dad alone."

"It will break Blessing's heart."

I went to tell her...

to stay away from you and stop giving you a hard time.

Did you really have to tell her that in person?

She must've looked down upon me to send me a message like this.

What did you like about her?

It's not like that. Believe me.

Do you know how I feel?

Do you know how devastated I am now?

It wouldn't have been so terrible if she was better than me.

I really want to know.

Why would a man like you like her?

What did you see in her?

Tell me.

Say it!

Food.

Did you just say food?

Was it just because of food?

She said she cooked for you.

Is that really what it is all about?

Yes.

How many times did you cook for me for the past 15 years?

How can I even work without eating a decent meal?

I was hungry, so I went to a restaurant.

And I ate her food for 13 years.

Do you think it makes sense that you cheated on me for food?

You didn't want me to cook your breakfast.

You just gave me some bread or cereal.

I always had a full meal for breakfast since I was young.

My mom cooked me breakfast every single day.

That gave me the energy to study hard and become a lawyer.

And the money I made as a lawyer...

You spent all my money, but what did you do for me?

Sleeping with me at night doesn't make you my wife.

Are you done talking?

I prepare for hearings, do research,

go to court, meet with clients, and talk to judges.

Do you know how exhausting it can be?

I was so hungry.

I've lost 18kg since we got married.

You were always on a diet, so you kept our fridge empty.

I realized too late that an appetite is an important factor in marriage.

You might think I'm just a glutton.

Whenever I asked you to cook for me,

you said you didn't marry me to fix me a meal.

It's not just a meal.

When we meet others, we ask if they ate.

Like, "Did you not skip a meal?"

You always say you don't want to eat,

but for Koreans, it's all about eating.

When I get a warm nice meal after work,

I feel like I'm respected as a man and a husband.

That's how I feel.

It makes me want to work harder.

You can't say such outdated things in this day and age.

Who would live like that these days?

It might not make sense to you, but it does to me.

When I get you money, you feel like you're respected as a wife.

When I give you a gift or take you out to dinner,

you can feel that I love you and care about you.

It's the same. It's food that makes me feel that way.

So is that why...

you cheated on me and had a baby with someone else, you jerk?

After my dad passed away,

my mom had a hard time,

so I wanted to live with her only for a month.

But you gave a flat refusal.

You never visited my family on national holidays.

I wasn't even intimate with Mother.

We feel uncomfortable around each other.

We have nothing to say, so we can't even talk on the phone for long.

I tried my best to be like a son to your parents.

You said we should take care of our own parents.

Then why did you make me do all that?

I'm sorry.

I wonder how you've put up with me the whole time.

I'm not saying I did the right thing to do.

I did wrong.

I did something that you can never forgive.

And I'm really sorry that I broke your heart.

But I...

I also had hard times.

Gwang Nam.

I married you for love.

But why did you tear my heart to pieces?

Now it can't be undone.

What do you mean?

So I lost the match between food and me.

I lost to food.

Do you think this makes sense?

She scratched your face all over.

I guess she had no other choice.

They say you can forgive gambling or violence,

but you can never forgive an affair.

And you even have a baby.

Anyone else would've searched online for a way to kill you.

What'll you do now?

Appease Gwang Nam and adopt the kid.

There's no other choice.

We won't be able to adopt.

She said she'll never give me the kid.

There's no legal option either.

Then what'll you do?

The girl's mom refuses to let her give a witness statement...

or do a cross-examination with the suspects.

We're disrupting her studies.

Then what do we do?

Is there any other way?

He hasn't been here.

I think he goes to a different Internet cafe.

He dined and dashed?

How stupid must you be to let that happen?

I'll kill Na Pyeon Seung.

He's so cheap. He tattled already?

Do you want to end up like Aunt Taeng Ja?

Are you crazy? I'll never live like that.

Wait and see.

- Can I... - I have no cash.

Clean the grills to pay him back.

And no more loan sharks.

The day you go to them is the day you die.

I said I'll clean the grills.

I said I'll pay you back. I don't care!

Cleaning grills and paying back loan sharks? Good for you!

Darn it.

I'm stuck at the restaurant cleaning grills.

Bring the money while I'm being nice.

I'll follow you to the end of the earth to get revenge.

- Drop down into Hades. - I reject that.

Hey! Heo Ki Jin!

- I'm not late, am I? - Be quick.

You're backed up.

Is that him?

He looks perfectly normal.

You should've left him there instead of getting him.

Being an illegal immigrant would've taught him a lesson.

I guess so.

I shoved him in a gosiwon for a few months to suffer.

There's no other option.

He'll pull himself together only if you marry him to a good woman.

You worked your way up...

not from rock bottom but from the underground.

Thanks to you, he grew up on cloud nine and never had to work.

If I marry him off, will he grow up?

You'll have to find a very strong woman...

who is smart enough to gain good control over him.

- A Seoul National University grad? - She'll have to be around that.

I gave you a good idea, now find me a place to stay.

My gosh.

You insisted on staying in Seoul.

The previous owner refused to move because...

that place would be redeveloped, so why the change of heart?

I'm sick of Seoul now.

I want to move far away.

Far enough that...

no one can come after me even if something happens in Seoul.

Help me out for old times' sake.

What old times' sake?

You.

When you stood, shivering in bare feet outside the station,

who got you a pair of shoes?

I fed you gukbap when you'd fainted after starving for three days.

Quit using that excuse already.

I still have many more to come.

That woman.

- Ki Jin! Your... - Shut your mouth.

Okay. Where do you want to go? Name a place.

You know,

I thought he was at least a little bit interested in me.

But...

he dated me just to fill his belly.

It hurts my pride and I feel so humiliated.

I should teach him a lesson.

Give me his number.

What'll you do to him?

Trust your brother-in-law.

What can't I do for my sister-in-law?

You're the only one I can rely on.

Gwang Sik wouldn't have changed her mind if you'd been good to her.

She changed her mind? How?

Hey. Hear me out first.

Forget it!

Pyeon Seung!

Na Pyeon Seung!

(Balance: 4,530 dollars 32 cents)

Come out, Lee Gwang Sik! Open the door!

Lee Gwang Sik! Open the door!

What's going on?

Get lost.

Come on out, Gwang Sik.

Gwang Sik, come outside.

Hey.

Lee Gwang Sik! Come outside!

Hi.

Are you mocking me? You fraud!

You're not even a resident.

You can't do this here.

I told you to get lost.

Gwang Sik.

You're stringing me along to get me to divorce you.

Is that why you're being nice to me?

Get out here.

Come outside right now!

Don't do this here. Come outside with me.

Lee Gwang Sik.

Think of the other residents.

- Let go of me. - Come out, Gwang Sik. Come outside!

You had a few drinks. Talk to her tomorrow.

You'll regret this when you're sober.

I said get lost. Oh? Let go of me.

Hey! Lee Gwang Sik!

Gwang Sik, you weren't at home? What a relief.

- Why? - Let go of me!

Lee Gwang Sik! Why are you doing this?

- What's up with him? - Hey!

- Sorry. Curse my blabbering mouth. - Let me go! Let go!

You...

Unit 301 is trying to talk to him and get him to leave.

Lee Gwang Sik! You're really something!

- Will you just let me go? - Pyeon Seung.

Lee Gwang Sik.

You conned me.

Don't mind what Gwang Tae said.

She badmouthed me to you because I told her off.

Is that true?

Yes. Think about it.

Does it make sense that I'd leave when you're successful?

Pretty young things would swarm around you like crazy.

I couldn't stand that.

I won't let you go.

I'm too old to find anyone else.

I want you to be successful first.

Then we can get married. Can't we?

That's right.

I lied because I hated...

that you told her the guy dine and dash on me.

Darn you.

Go and sleep it off.

You have a business trip to Busan tomorrow.

Let's both work hard.

Watch it, Gwang Tae. Or I'll really scold you hard.

Okay.

Wait!

You're taking it, right?

What are you doing?

Getting you a taxi so you can leave in comfort.

Get in.

Pyeon Seung, good luck.

You too.

Bye!

Bye!

How could you tell him that?

You know I'm trying so darn hard to divorce him.

You'll be the death of me.

I can't help it that I talk too much when I'm drunk.

Quit drinking.

I can't tell if you're a friend or foe.

Do that again and I'll kill you.

Tae Ri. Are you in?

(Everyone gets their moment.)

I'm sorry, Ye Seul.

The receiver cannot be reached.

(Shining under Starlight)

You provided meals and a roof over her head,

but she took off with all your money.

How much was there?

4,500 dollars.

I worked my butt off to save up that money.

Unbelievable!

How hard you worked isn't a factor.

I can't believe you blindly trusted her.

She left her kids with me before but never took off with my money.

The slither of conscience she had left me with a few bucks though.

How can you joke about this right now?

What else can I do...

but wait until tomorrow to look for her?

- Your pin number! - It's my door lock combination.

Unbelievable.

Who is she to you anyway?

- Your girlfriend? - No.

- A FB? - A fireball?

No, FB as in friends with benefits.

As if such a thing exists.

Sleeping together can never be casual.

I met her at a club during my days as an aspiring musician.

She used to sing, although she doesn't anymore.

Anyway, she once helped me out.

What

A lucky day

But you were robbed.

For the first time

Finally, I

What else can I do but move on?

I'll make up for it by earning more.

I'm only a temp at the delivery service,

but I'll be made a regular employee in two years.

The additional salary will cover what I lost.

Is it possible to work three jobs?

I only play my guitar...

when the club is fully booked with customers.

The same goes for the moving company.

That's how one can make enough money...

cutting back on sleep and food.

That's admirable.

When we were at the police station, I was told you had...

a prior assault charge.

Oh, that.

I tried to help a woman being assaulted by a boyfriend.

Even as a student, I used to go around and hit bullies.

My dad had to beg for the school's forgiveness.

I see you've always been a meddler.

You should keep that temper in check.

I always avoid situations these days that make my blood boil.

Anyway,

is what your sister said true?

That you're trying to ease him into a divorce.

It's what I'm planning.

I figured it was my only way.

You happily kissed him though.

When did I kiss him?

I saw you two at the police station that night.

You think I didn't, right?

That's rich coming from you.

It's what he wanted in exchange for settling on the assault charge.

As if you knew.

Anyway, I'll divorce him no matter what.

There's the smarty-pants I know.

You're now less frustrating.

I haven't gotten my way yet though.

The divorce has to be final.

Once it is, I'll help you throw a party.

I mean it.

Here.

- Gosh. - My gosh.

Unbelievable.

Seriously?

How silly of me.

You're cute.

Me?

No one's ever said that about me.

You were cute that night.

Which night?

The night you knocked on my door three times.

"You must pay the utility bills. Don't you know the rules?"

"Here's what you paid me for the meals."

Unit 401.

Do you perhaps...

What are you talking about? No way. That's absurd.

I was actually there to warn you about the utility bills. Gosh.

So no one's told you you're cute before?

Pretty and charming, I get a lot. But...

A lot?

What's with that tone?

Cherry blossoms bloomed early this year.

I see they've yet to wither away here.

I love this season, you know.

The season of cherry blossoms.

A spring night like this.

The scent of spring.

It gives you butterflies.

At this moment?

Due to the spring night.

That's what I meant.

At this moment?

What are you getting at...

when it's dark outside?

Shouldn't a bachelor be scared of being alone with a married woman?

That's rich coming from one with a fake marriage.

Once you get your divorce, you'll be free like you wanted.

No matter what, I'm on your side.

Thanks...

for supporting me.

(Everyone gets their moment.)

Everyone gets their moment.

The words are actually comforting, so take it.

(Shining under Starlight)

I want to divorce him as soon as possible,

but I'm out of options.

He won't agree to one, right?

And legally, I have no standing.

What a menace.

Him and his crazy family.

They must think they hit the jackpot with you.

I should've stopped you from marrying him back then.

Why didn't you?

We both know how stubborn you can be.

I gave up after a few tries.

I regret registering our marriage first.

Who knew that a piece of paper would hold so much power?

It's like wanting to run...

but finding your feet tied to the ground.

That's how frustrating it is.

He's the shackle around my ankle.

What happened was my fault and my stupidity is to blame.

I have no excuses to make.

I'm embarrassed in front of my family...

and intimidated by my situation.

It's about time you met someone decent,

but that darn piece of paper is holding you back.

You're already 34 now.

But I've already tried marriage.

It was only on paper.

You didn't even get to live with him.

But I was still married which makes me a divorcee.

You can always meet a man who's understanding of that.

Marrying another divorced man is a loss on your part.

You make marriage sound like trading.

Be a better judge of character from now on,

stay clear from men who aren't good enough,

and consider his family too.

You graduated from a decent college,

so your husband should have a good education and job.

So I should like a man who ticks off the boxes?

Of course!

Half of the people in this world are men.

But only one of them is for me.

I guess you're right.

Everything else can be controlled and managed...

except for that one thing.

That thing called love.

If you find someone, introduce me to him first.

I will, but after I get my divorce.

Anyway, thinking about Gwang Nam has been keeping me up at night.

When push comes to shove, Byun Ho will choose his son.

Why don't we ask Aunt Taeng Ja?

This is her specialty after all.

Who is this other woman anyway?

She's no ordinary character.

She's been using their son as leverage...

and has been asking him to get a divorce.

It's more like she's threatening him.

What about Byun Ho?

He's being indecisive like always.

His personality is the only reason why he's still with Gwang Nam.

A man with guts would've already divorced her.

Tell me about it.

She has already let her temper take over.

Even as a kid, she hated the thought of losing.

I understand her though.

Where does this wench live?

I'm flustered to have been ambushed...

by people not directly involved in the matter.

I barely found a temporary babysitter,

so make it quick.

You're a brazen one, aren't you?

Rather than groveling, you dare tell us to make it quick?

We wasted our morning just to meet the likes of you.

All we knew was the name of your apartment complex,

so we had to wait three whole hours.

I know this is all part of your intimidation tactic,

but you even seem less educated than a middle school dropout...

who owns a diner.

What?

This darn wench is a psychopath.

You're not an innocent party here, so mind your manners.

Anyway, this is what we want.

Quietly end it with my brother-in-law.

That's what you should be telling Mr. Bae.

Should I go to him instead...

and say how you three threatened me to stay away from him?

Hey! She's not someone who's reasonable.

Did you think I was?

As you can see I don't even reason with food.

- I always order enough to eat. - Hey!

Auntie, please.

That's enough.

It's not like you did anything to be proud of.

At first, I was scared.

But then this thought hit me.

"I'll soon hit menopause which means no more pregnancies."

"This is a blessing in disguise."

Look here. That's not what we came to hear.

This attitude isn't one to have...

after having a son with a married man.

Why are you trying to ruin their family too?

What was it that you said?

My mind's suddenly drawing a blank.

Two against one.

Yes, you've been using your son as leverage.

Does that mean...

you want Byun Ho to get a divorce and come to you?

Probably, yes.

What? Now you're asking for it.

Get Gwang Tae over here.

- Auntie. - Leave me be!

That wench is saying whatever she wants to.

I'd rather you not call me a wench.

Mr. Bae will be upset when he gets wind of this.

I'm still the mother of his child...

and shouldn't be treated this way.

Our situation is the same, right?

You had a geriatric pregnancy too.

And the older sister isn't married.

Have you been spying on us?

Not exactly, but I did my homework.

She's not a reasonable wench.

She already said she isn't.

I can probably guess how she managed to seduce Byun Ho.

Don't accuse us of anything weird. We aren't sleeping together.

As if that's believable. Even a dog would bark at that.

It's the truth.

We only slept together once when Blessing was conceived.

Still, who do you think he'll save if we were both drowning?

The wife he sleeps next to or the woman who has his son?

How dare you compare yourself to her.

She's his wife while you're only a thing on the side.

How can you be so brazen?

That's what motherhood does to you.

I was nothing but a diner owner before,

but having a baby changed me.

It gives me the strength to live.

A kid being cute to look at,

me being proud to be a parent,

and insurance for one's latter years?

That hardly describes this feeling.

It's what motherhood is.

She's not wrong.

If he and his wife had a child,

I wouldn't have thought about taking Mr. Bae.

But why should my Blessing...

grow up with a dad when his father is very much alive?

That baby was still born out of wedlock.

So give the baby over or disappear with it.

End of story.

Blessing!

My Blessing

Peekaboo, my blessing.

Why couldn't he and Gwang Nam just have a child?

Look at him grinning like a fool.

Tell me about it.

- How's that for an answer? - My Blessing.

I'll get going then.

Hey, you. Wait.

Where's proof that the baby is Byun Ho's?

You don't have any, do you?

I knew it'd be questioned, so I had him tested.

Just know that Mr. Bae saw it a long time ago.

Happy now?

All right. Take care, all.

Oh, Brother Tes.

Come to me directly if you have anything to say...

rather than outnumbering me with your aunts and sister.

I'm disappointed.

I'm utterly embarrassed!

Gwang Nam, please don't be angry.

What's the matter with you all?

Did you seriously just gang up on her?

How low must you get?

Look at her showing the white of her eyes again.

Have you no respect for your elders?

I bet you secretly find this funny. You think I deserved it.

Mom's the only one who ever cared about me.

Must you egg on our aunts like this?

Get a grip on yourself, Gwang Sik.

It's not like we did this to kill time.

We're here to help.

Did I ask for your help?

What will you help me with and how?

I don't need any of it, so mind your business.

That wench should get what she deserves.

Family is all you have at times like this.

Mr. Bae!

Can I get some water?

She's not a reasonable woman.

She openly said she isn't.

She thinks her child gives her all kinds of rights.

Oh, Brother Tes, what has happened to the world?

This is a lost cause.

She's the one holding all the cards,

and Gwang Nam is a gutted fish.

There aren't any more options.

What can the three of us come up with anyway?

Brain, get to work!

You'll only give that brain of yours a spasm.

Byun Ho.

I'm actually glad you're here.

How could you have gotten involved with that wench?

Are you now a gang or something?

It's none of your business, so leave it to us to solve.

I see she already tattled.

None of our business?

Did you come running over here to fend for her?

I'm not taking sides. What you did alarmed the baby.

He did nothing wrong to deserve this.

How can we alarm a baby we never even saw?

So that's how she spun the story?

Game set and match. He's already taking her side.

Please. Just stay out of this issue.

Gwang Sik, be the rational one here...

and stay put.

I've got to hand it to that wench.

Gwang Nam's whole life has been for nothing.

Hey, Unit 401.

A penny for your thoughts.

Is it something bad?

It's family stuff.

You're like a porter, you know.

One that carries all the baggage your family has.

How did you know?

Every family has its own porter.

Just put the burden down.

I tried to put it down,

but the burden wouldn't get off me.

Did you get the money back?

- She's out of touch. - Oh no.

I'll look for her.

Do you want my help?

- It's okay. - Just let me do it when I say so.

I like doing the dishes.

You know good guys are good at doing the dishes.

You're good.

I've lived alone for 15 years.

I can also cook.

Let's be friends.

That's my loss.

I know you're two years younger than me.

Don't be so inflexible.

There's no problem in being friends with someone only two years younger.

I don't want anyone younger than me...

for a husband or a friend.

I'm sick of them.

You can't compare me with someone so immature like him.

Let's call each other by our names.

I don't want to call you Unit 401. It sounds like an inmate number.

I don't my name to be called.

- Why not? - It's not romantic at all.

That doesn't sound good.

"Gwang Sik." It sounds weird...

no matter how you call it.

"I love you, Gwang Sik." Oh, dear.

I've always hated my name since childhood.

Likewise.

What kind of guy has a name like Han Ye Seul?

I think it's pretty.

I was always teased about my name.

But Gwang Sik isn't like that.

There's a movie about Gwang Sik and Gwang Tae.

Don't laugh. I knew you'd be like this.

I give up.

You win.

I really liked the movie.

I was a high school girl when it was released.

And Gwang Tae was going through puberty.

We got teased together a lot.

I bet you did.

Gwang Nam, Gwang Sik, and Gwang Tae.

They named us like that because they wanted sons.

They had me because they thought I was a son.

The doctor was mistaken.

If they knew I was a girl, I wouldn't have been born at all.

And I got this name even before I was born.

You don't understand it, do you?

I don't. But I like your name Gwang Sik.

- You don't have to say that. - I'm serious.

You need to believe what I say.

What?

You play the guitar so well.

You said you didn't like it.

When did I say that?

You're good, right?

I can play "Pipeline", so I must say I'm good.

I've had all kinds of auditions to become a singer,

but the conclusion I came up with was that I'm not talented.

So I'm just working furiously to make money.

I just hope I will release an album with my money someday.

That's why you had the costume...

What does that laughter mean? That doesn't feel good.

No, nothing. You looked great in it.

Oh, right. You used to have long hair.

Why did you get a haircut?

Why would I keep my hair long when I gave up becoming a singer?

And I had to spend a lot of money on shampoo.

My dad always said having long hair doesn't make me a singer.

Now I play in a band at a bar. For customers to sing.

I see.

What's your dream?

Is there anyone who forces you to patrol the building every day?

If you're jealous, buy your own building.

My dream is...

It's not a dream,

but I want to leave with no plans once I save enough money.

I want to go somewhere without a destination in mind.

That's amazing.

My family says I'm crazy.

No, you're not. It's really cool.

You're great.

If you think it's cool, show me a rock singer just once.

I can't. My hair is too short.

Just do it once for your friend.

Forget it.

Unit 401.

I don't have long hair, but...

Hurry.

Did she leave?

No, she's here. Quiet.

I guess she's gone now, right?

See you.

It's me.

I rang the doorbell, but no one's answering.

Isn't she home?

She has a bad cold. I guess she took pills and went to bed.

Why did you come without calling me?

I had an unsettling dream, so I wanted to see you.

I brought the marinated crab you like.

I'll put it in the fridge. Tell me the passcode.

What on earth are they eating?

I feel bad for the fridge.

No.

It's not the fridge. It's my son who's pitiful.

Why are you so surprised?

You didn't even know I was here.

I wish I could have a sound sleep like you.

How did you get in here?

I rang the doorbell, but you didn't answer. So I asked Byun Ho.

But you can't barge in my place like that.

This isn't a place that anyone can come in.

I'm not anyone.

I'm sorry if I crossed the line.

I was going to leave some dishes in here.

You could've left them in front of the door.

No one asked for the food.

What's wrong?

This is crazy.

Gosh, my heart is still pounding.

She shrieked in fright when she saw me.

I'm the one who's more shocked.

You'd be surprised if you woke up to find someone at home.

You might shatter the door.

No wonder I had a weird dream.

She's not sick, is she?

Did you two fight?

No. She's not feeling well.

What did you dream about?

You were holding a newborn baby.

What?

They say dreaming of a baby means you'll have worries.

Wouldn't it be nice if the baby wasn't a worry but really yours?

What happened to your face?

I bumped into something.

Come out and eat.

Would I be in the mood to eat with your mother?

I can't help that she's here already.

Why did you give her the code to our door?

What good would come from us seeing each other?

Shall I tell her everything? Shall I?

Keep your voice down. She'll get worried.

"Mother, Mother."

You worry about her and never about me.

Why did she come by out of the blue?

This is impolite. Do you live here alone?

Can just anyone unlock the front door to come in?

Is my mother just anyone?

She came to bring us food. Let's eat.

You can stuff your face.

Mother.

Mother.

Are you in there?

Mother!

Mother.

You can't just leave.

Come back inside.

Stupid me.

Why did I even bring food?

Go back inside and appease her.

That's what you did all this while.

The house was cold and empty when I stepped inside.

A home should be filled with the sound of children.

Because of you, she can't have kids.

She has nothing to be happy about.

I hate her but then I understand.

If your wife asks you for a divorce, give in and let her go.

She should get a chance to have a child.

Before she gets too old.

When you were young, a fortuneteller said you'd marry three times.

- Three times? - Yes.

The fortuneteller was said to be good.

Good, my foot.

Go back inside. I'm leaving.

Wait here.

I'll take you to the terminal.

- I'll take the bus. - Wait here.

I'll get my car.

Where are you?

I just got on the bus.

The terminal is just another bus ride away.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Get home safely. I'll call you.

What are you doing?

I asked what you're doing.

I'll stay somewhere else.

I can't live like this.

Who says you can leave?

I haven't forgiven you.

You must put up with me until I feel better!

You can treat me however you want.

You can do anything to me but...

not to my mother.

A mom can unlock the door and come into her son's home.

Your mother came here all the time,

and your sisters freely come and go and I never said a word.

Do you know how guilty my mother feels?

She thinks I'm a useless man who can't have kids.

She thinks I have a great flaw...

and tiptoes around you.

You're a bad woman.

What does that have to do with this?

Let's just stop.

We're hurting each other too much.

I'll stay elsewhere for a while.

Hey! Bae Byun Ho!

How dare you do this?

You wronged me.

How dare a lawyer be so shameless?

There are crimes worth the death penalty,

but I must live.

The price?

I'll pay it.

How?

Somehow.

Mom.

Mom...

Are you free tomorrow? Let's check on that woman.

Tomorrow? Sure.

Cheol Soo, you said you wanted to have a 2 to 8 parting.

Yes.

I used to look pretty good...

with oil-slicked hair in a 2 to 8 parting.

How about letting your hair grow longer, then?

There's no hair to grow.

Look at me.

Grow the hair on this side and comb it over like this.

Like a roof.

What if there's a strong wind?

Then the hair will get blown off.

If the top of my head was bald...

and long hair was fluttering at the side, wouldn't that be weird?

There's no other choice if you want to cover the baldness.

It'll take years to grow enough to cover all this up.

That is wrong.

It must work.

It must be better than being bald...

if everyone's growing hair to cover up the rest.

I don't like the idea.

Then don't do it.

Hello.

Really?

Okay.

Who was that?

Where is it?

Are you okay crossing the sea?

- Is it Jeju Island? - No.

Ulleung Island?

It's an hour by boat from Ulleung Island.

It's close to Dokdo Island. Meoreo Island.

Meoreo Island?

The island is called "Meoreo"?

What a frustrating name.

A few households live there, but it's almost a deserted island.

You'll have a house and fields.

It's just the place if you want to forget about life and live naked.

Are you up for it?

I'll run about there naked and then die.

But tomorrow's too soon.

I have stuff to take care of.

What do you have to take care of?

Then leave next month.

I don't need a whole month. Just a few days.

The boat to that island only sails once a month.

If you miss it tomorrow, the next is in a month.

Then I have no choice.

I must leave tomorrow.

It's just a piece of paper.

It's the shackle around my ankle.

Taeng Ja, watch the store.

(Shining Sun Fish Market)

Cheol Soo. Come out and see me.

I can't listen to this anymore.

Can a noble family like yours do this?

It's not like they're really a married couple.

Let her go.

You can't tie down the lives of two people...

with a piece of paper?

Did we tie them down?

You can't bring some cake just to say that.

It's delicious.

Where did you buy it?

It doesn't taste like it's from here.

I got it from a bakery at our neighborhood's intersection.

There's usually a line of people waiting for the bread to come out.

No wonder.

Please end it amicably.

How dare you, lady?

Why are you so involved when you're just an aunt?

Do you look down on our place because you own a building?

You just sell fish.

She just sells fish?

How can you be so rude?

Let's just get the kids divorced.

Says who?

Gwang Sik is our daughter-in-law.

This isn't something you can be stubborn about.

If you won't budge, we have other plans.

What's that?

No one in our family gets divorced.

But we accept money.

What?

You took 50,000 dollars from me last year.

This is wrong. Just wrong!

Are you doing business with your son?

He's not even a catch. Do whatever you want!

We're leaving, Cheol Soo.

No, wait. You can't...

Wait.

This is just wrong!

Give me that.

Darn them.

(Shining Sun Fish Market)

Bong Ja, they've been waiting for a while.

I asked why they're here, but they wouldn't answer.

Why are you here?

Did you catch the killer?

- Yes. - You did? Who is it?

Who is it?

Ms. Oh Bong Ja.

You're under arrest for the murder of Oh Maeng Ja.

- Bong Ja. - Bong Ja.

What do you mean? It wasn't me!

You have the right to an attorney...

and the right to remain silent regarding anything...

that could hurt your case.

But...

Yes, Auntie. What is it?

Aunt Bong Ja, what's going on?

Why were you arrested?

I have no idea. It really wasn't me.

It couldn't have been her. You should investigate once more.

The witness confirmed your aunt's identity.

We have definitive proof.

Bong Ja, say something.

It wasn't me. It really wasn't.

I know you hated Maeng Ja, but how can you kill her?

How could you be so cold-hearted?

Stop it. She said it wasn't her.

The police wouldn't have arrested her for no reason.

They must have evidence.

Bong Ja, this is just wrong.

Speak the truth right this instant!

(Revolutionary Sisters)

The witness identified you as the culprit,

so come clean, will you?

Where's my husband?

How shameless of you to barge into my house like this?

Dad, it's about time you told us the truth.

Open it.

- Don't. - But you're the killer!

Say that it's not you.

Bong Ja, this'll be our last moment in this life.
