Original subtitles

Here. Drink up.

How did you know where I was?

Hang on.

Did you follow me?

Now that's more like it.

I'm relieved now.

When you said

you wouldn't run away, it means you're not moving out, right?

Yes.

I tried to run away, but then I got caught.

There's no reason to run away anymore.

His mother came to see me and asked to settle.

So you met her?

You should have told me!

Why did you speak to her alone? Weren't you scared?

So what did she say? Tell me.

What did she say to make you cry…

What did she say?

It's my business. I'll take care of it.

And why would I be scared?

They're the ones who did wrong. Why should I be scared?

I didn't do anything wrong.

You're absolutely right!

I have this too.

So…

is that the only reason

you decided not to move out?

Well…

When I decided to leave,

it kind of bothered me.

What bothered you?

The Women's Association offered me a position.

They said they needed someone like me.

And I felt bad turning them down.

That's it? That's the only reason?

EPISODE 9

TO HAVE AN ALLY

The truth of the Cheongdam-dong dating violence.

The victim turned out to be a home-wrecker.

The victim had been being supported financially by a married man.

She threatened him to divorce his wife with suicide attempts.

She bought a house and a car with the hefty settlement,

so she'd be scared of the consequences.

WHAT A HUGE TWIST! THIS IS WHY THEY SAY THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO SIDES

IT WAS A HOME-WRECKER PRETENDING TO BE A VICTIM? SO CREEPY

LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE I HAVE NO PITY WHATSOEVER FOR HER

MONEY IS GOOD FOR SURE, BUT WHO WANTS A LIFE LIKE THAT?

IT WAS SO DUMB OF HER

YOU CALL HIM HONEY THEN YOU RIP HIM OFF

SHE'S BEEN FOUND OUT. LEE MIN-KYUNG. SHE MOVED TO HONGJIK-DONG!

Oh, my god! This is where I live.

Can I share this post to a mothers' community?

We must bring her to justice.

She cheated with a married man.

-She lives in our neighborhood? -In our apartment building?

THE HOME-WRECKER SHOULD BE PUNISHED. THAT'S RIGHT. I HOPE SHE DOES.

SHE WRECKED A HOME AND EVEN GOT A NEW IDENTITY.

She came here? Really?

She did it to get money.

So this woman lives in our neighborhood?

-Yes! -Yes!

Everyone is talking about it these days.

We must find her as soon as possible and call her out.

Exactly.

Well, this is not a big neighborhood, but what can we do about it?

Min-kyung is such a common name.

I mean, think about it.

That girl who lives in Unit 303 of Building 101 or 102. She's Min-kyung.

Come on. That Min-kyung is a baby.

-Is that so? -Yes.

Then you know, the woman who did that thing before.

-The former account manager? -Yes.

Her name is Lee Min-jung.

Here. Look.

Her name is Lee Min-kyung, and she moved to Hongjik-dong recently.

Well, if she moved in recently… Hang on.

Right! Unit 506.

Unit 506 is Lee Min-kyung!

So Unit 506 is that home-wrecking--

A home-wrecker?

Unit 506's name was Lee Min-kyung?

My gosh!

Goodness, it's her.

That's why this photo looked familiar to me.

It's her. It's definitely her.

My goodness.

Wait. Hang on.

I don't have time for this.

-Let me just… -This is unbelievable.

Even if we ask her about it,

she wouldn't say, "Yes, I'm that woman."

-What's the point of asking her that? -I know. Home…

Gosh, I don't even want to say that word.

Still, I need to ask her and see if it's true.

This is a serious matter.

-But, In-ja! -Wait there. Let me get changed first.

-What do we do? -Let's go.

Gosh. It definitely seems like it's him.

He's definitely Yang.

But I can't just push this through without any evidence.

What time is it now?

Gosh.

Okay. Coming.

Hey.

I thought our conversation was over.

It's not over until we reach a settlement.

So if you don't want things to get ugly,

just accept the settlement. Just do it.

You can move somewhere else, but I'll find you eventually.

Now you're just straight out threatening me.

What's the point of acting coy at this point?

I know you're playing hard to get

so you can get more out of the settlement.

So just be honest with me.

How much do you want?

Let's see how ambitious you are.

How much?

If you want to settle that badly,

why don't you bring everything you've got?

Who knows? Maybe I'll accept the settlement then.

So, after all, it was for money.

You seduced my married son for his money,

destroyed his family,

put the blame on the poor man

trying to protect his family, and tried to stigmatize him. Is that it?

Unbelievable.

How did a young lady like you ever think of doing something so nasty?

Young lady.

This isn't right.

Money is surely important,

but you shouldn't harass and hurt others because of that.

That's no way for anyone to act.

You are going to regret this later.

I'm going to regret this?

Your family being wrecked is none of my business!

Get out of my sight! Now!

-Oh, no! -Goodness.

-Are you okay? -Ma'am, are you okay?

-Come on. Calm down. -Let's help her stand up.

Thank you.

-Come on. Take a seat. -Please take a seat here.

How could she…

DOG OWNER

AGGRESSIVE DOG

So…

when are you moving out?

I'm not moving out.

You said you were. Why did you change your mind?

Now everyone knows who you are, you don't need to? Is that why?

Enough.

I want you to move out as soon as possible.

Why should I?

As the president of the Women's Association,

I cannot let a home-wrecker live in our apartment.

And I'm pretty sure others are of the same opinion.

-Of course. -Me too.

I'm a…

home-wrecker?

What's wrong? That's what we just heard.

Are you going to deny it?

I know you're one brazen woman,

but now everyone knows who you are

and word has spread to all the mothers online,

I don't think you can live in this neighborhood in peace.

What if people find out the name of our apartment complex

and start calling it the home-wrecker's apartment?

Then it'll tarnish our apartment's image. What will you do about that?

Before it becomes inconvenient for both you and the people here,

you'd better hurry and move out. Understood?

Good.

She should have gotten my point now.

I think so.

Of course.

Goodness. Can you believe this?

Hey, Ms. Kim.

Hey, there!

Hi.

Actually,

about Unit 506…

-That's right! Unit 506! -Gosh!

So you heard about it too.

Who would have guessed Unit 506 was that kind of person?

Tell me about it.

Our hearts are still pounding from what happened just now.

What about Unit 506?

What happened? What are you talking about?

What?

He doesn't seem to know.

Don't you know?

CHEONGDAM-DONG DATING VIOLENCE

THE TRUTH OF THE CHEONGDAM-DONG DATING VIOLENCE

HER NAME IS LEE MIN-KYUNG. SHE MOVED TO HONGJIK RECENTLY.

Because of that, the entire neighborhood is--

Just wait.

That's Unit 506.

This shook the entire neighborhood.

I thought you knew.

Unbelievable.

-Ms. Kim. -Yes?

This is not true.

-What? -Do you want me to say it again?

This is not true.

This is not true.

This is not true!

Goodness!

Hey.

Why are you yelling?

Why do you believe something so blindly without confirming it?

Look. We saw it.

We even asked her about it.

I told her to move out instantly, and she quietly backed off.

That means she admits it!

Wait. You told Unit 506 to move out?

Yes.

She just started to get settled here

and was excited about joining the Women's Association.

How could you people be like this?

If Unit 506

actually moves out because of this,

you take the responsibility for it. Okay?

What?

Gosh. Seriously.

But…

Why should I take responsibility for that? Gosh.

-I'd like an order of the same here. -Okay.

Why didn't you answer my call?

I've been looking for you.

You really are a handful.

I didn't ask you to find me.

I heard everything.

If you're not strong, don't act like it in the first place.

You said you wouldn't run away. Why did you run away?

I didn't run away.

Then what is this?

If it's not true, you should've just told them so. Why are you avoiding it?

Because I know anything I say is useless.

She even came to my office and spread nonsense.

She also wrote about me online.

I said it wasn't true.

I explained and denied it.

Do you think I haven't tried it?

But it didn't change anything.

Everyone believes it's true.

No matter what I say,

no one believes me.

No one is on my side.

I'm outnumbered from the start.

This is a losing game for me.

What do you mean, no one is on your side?

What about me? I'm a person too.

You have me.

You want to be on my side?

Why?

Well…

It would be scary to have someone like you as an enemy.

I might as well be your ally. That would make me feel better.

Then…

no matter what I do,

be understanding, trust me,

and stand up for me.

Can you promise to do that?

That doesn't sound so hard.

Sure. I can do that. I'll be on your side.

Here.

We're allies now.

Come on. Hold it.

We need evidence of the deal.

You love evidence.

Where's your phone? Take a photo of it.

Okay.

Make sure our faces are in it.

Enjoy.

So don't be scared just because you're outnumbered.

I can beat all those ladies

on my own.

Now you're being silly.

You couldn't say anything either.

You should have

seen me earlier.

Eat up.

Thank…

Do you work here?

Yes.

Do you need a bag? It's 20 won.

Sure. Thanks.

How's your studying going?

Sure. Yes.

Honey, who is she?

Well…

Say hi. She's a friend I knew in school.

I see.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you seeing anybody?

Right. I guess you're busy studying.

I have a boyfriend.

He should be here any minute to pick me up.

Hey, honey.

What took you so long?

I've been waiting.

I'm hungry.

Hey, honey. You must be starving.

Let's go eat something nice today.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay.

Why haven't you left? It's embarrassing.

I thought today might be the day you could use a sister.

He was your ex, right?

Can't you see I'm using earphones?

I know you can hear me.

Did I cross the line?

I thought of just looking the other way, but…

Thank you.

Otherwise, I would've looked really pathetic.

I'm glad I helped.

Did you see that girl though?

She was wearing so much makeup. Geez.

It was hard for you

We…

He said he couldn't afford to date anyone

while settling into the new company and all.

And yet there he was, flexing.

Why did you stop cursing him?

You can cuss him out more until you feel better.

I don't hate him that much actually.

I had to break up with him anyway.

I'm the one who can't afford to date anyone.

I don't deserve it.

This isn't a good time for self-criticism.

I'm just seeing myself objectively.

I'm a mere part-timer preparing for an exam.

How can I afford to date anyone?

I heard you're doing well

Though I didn't want to hear it

You did well

-You wouldn't have been able -You wouldn't have been able

-To endure the emptiness -To endure the emptiness

-Are you happy being in love? -Are you happy being in love?

You have no idea

How beautiful you are

When you begin to love

I still cannot forget

How beautiful you were

I cannot get over you

Especially on days I hear news of you

Do you like that person?

To be honest, it's hard for me to bear

I wish you were more heartbroken

I wish you feel

One tenth of the pain that I feel

Before you

Become happy

Thank you.

You're not just a part-timer who's preparing for an exam.

How do you sing so well?

Well, what's the point?

What's the difference between a regular part-timer

and a part-timer who sings well?

Samantha!

Good evening, ma'am.

Hey.

What are you two doing together?

Well, I dropped by the convenience store.

What's the matter?

Right. Samantha.

You said you're good with computers and stuff, right?

So you want me to find the person who wrote this?

But why?

Well, the thing is,

this woman they're talking about here is Unit 506 of Building 105.

Unit 506?

The young lady with dark sunglasses.

I know. Hwi-oh and she had something…

What?

That woman is the home-wrecker?

Well, based on this post, it's likely the case,

but I just want to make sure.

So you want to find the person who wrote this post to fact-check it?

Yes.

Do you think you can?

Well, officially, I can't, but since this is for the public interest,

I can give it a try.

Wait. Hold on.

I'm not sure if this is necessary.

Of course it's necessary.

This is a very serious matter.

Didn't you see Unit 507 yelling earlier?

What?

This person's IP address matches the IP address of this computer…

It's me. I wrote that post.

I posted on the mothers' community.

Hey.

What?

Well, I didn't write it.

I just copied the post.

My goodness. Are you…

one of those people who leaves hate comments?

No way! Everyone was criticizing her,

so I just wrote one comment.

I only shared the post.

-Wait. I'll find it for you. -What the…

-Okay. -Let me show you where I saw it.

Sharing posts like that and leaving hate comments

are basically the same thing.

-Here. -Where?

There are so many comments.

My goodness.

Hang on. What is…

"It was a home-wrecker pretending to be a victim."

Excuse me.

-Does this mean this is true? -Excuse me.

-What? What is it? -Excuse me.

Are we talking about the woman

who hangs out with the police officer?

-Yes. -Yes.

Why?

Then I think I know the truth.

I made myself clear that I'm not willing to settle.

So you have a daughter?

I hope your daughter gets fooled by her boyfriend,

gets cussed at, and beaten up.

And I hope he uses her video to threaten her too.

I hope she goes through everything I went through.

My gosh.

She's one disrespectful wench.

I won't let her walk all over me like this.

This is a fact. I saw and heard it myself.

Gosh, I had no idea.

What did we say to her?

We told her to move at once, calling her a home-wrecker.

Ms. Kim, what do we do?

This is why I said earlier

that Unit 506 didn't seem like that kind of person.

I guess you ladies caused trouble again.

Miss.

Or sister.

The writer of the original post and most of the commenters

have the same IP address.

This means the malicious post, the hate comments,

and her personal information were all posted by the same person.

I think someone intended to slander Unit 506.

Is it one person?

Someone…

Who?

…intended this?

Wait. This means what we saw earlier was…

-She did that on purpose! -Yes!

What a sneaky old hag!

They say one truly sincere ally is all one needs.

You know they say that.

Now I have someone on my side, I feel like I understand what it means.

Knowing that I have someone who trusts me and who I can trust

gives me the courage to fight against it all.

So when you said, "someone on your side,"

you meant the big…

The big barking dog that doesn't bite women.

Yes, it's him.

He's on my side.

These days, I feel pretty good at times,

and I laugh a lot.

But then…

Well…

But then I got angry again.

Is it the trigger that you mentioned earlier

that made you angry?

Yes, that's right.

I got so angry

that I almost lost control.

SHOCKING! FOOTAGE OF CHEONGDAM-DONG DATING VIOLENCE GOES VIRAL

I don't understand how she endured this all alone.

I'm worried something might have happened to her.

I'm worried she might be crying alone somewhere

and might end up saying she'll run away again.

I mean, I can't stop worrying about her. I can't get her out of my head.

So that's what makes you angry.

Yes, that's right.

Hey, Unit 506.

Can we talk for a second?

I'll go first.

I can't move out.

In fact, I won't.

Of course. You don't have any reason to.

There is no place like this.

Right. It's not moving season either.

And weren't you joining the Women's Association? You can't move then.

This is great.

We're short-handed these days.

That's right.

You really will be joining us, right?

Yes, I'm joining the Women's Association.

There's no reason not to.

You're right. You're absolutely right.

-There's no reason not to. -This is great.

So…

I heard that the post on the mothers' community

was not true.

You should have told us it wasn't.

Well, you know, because of that lady,

we had a misunderstanding.

We're sorry.

-I'm sorry. -Sorry.

It's fine now that you know.

It's not fine.

You may say you're fine,

but we are not fine with this.

Now you're now a member of us, the Women's Association,

it is not your own problem.

This is a challenge to us as a whole

and also an insult to this entire apartment complex.

And there is no way we will just sit back and watch.

Now, you can rely on us.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Let's go.

Snap.

-Snap. That's weird. -Just like that.

I heard you donated a lot of money

at the charity bazaar again.

Well, it's not a big deal.

Your amazing character and faith are beyond our imagination.

No wonder you have such a great son.
