MARRIAGE CONTRACT

CHARACTERS, COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS, NAMES, EVENTS OF THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIONAL

ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY UNDER PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE

What's your name? Did you say Jung Ji-ho? You're in 11th grade?

To be honest, you actually need parental consent for this.

Anyway, isn't the room so nice?

Oh, hello.

She's in 10th grade. Isn't she pretty?

Hey you bastard, watch where you're going.

Mind your own eyes.

What? Who are you to tell me that, jerk?

She's my little sister.

JUNG JI-HO

JUNG JI-EUN

Fuck's sake.

HANGUK COFFEE MILK

You must be smart.

While you are here

can you act as my brother?

What does this mean?

The moisture cycle in the soil will keep repeating.

What about here?

It's raw material for cement.

What are you doing? You're not leaving?

I like this song.

Won't you feel happy if you hear this?

I'll do it for you.

You can just listen

and receive from me.

Why are you laughing?

I'm being serious.

Ji-ho.

You can only love if you've been loved before.

Let's go. I'm sick of this place.

When I heard you can only love if you've been loved before

it hurt me more than anything I've heard in my lifetime.

I've been married to that guy there.

I run into my ex here, of all places.

I heard you guys require extra care for your privacy.

I know the difficulties of married life, so don't worry about a thing.

Well, I was wondering why we never crossed paths.

But here we are.

Long time, no see.

Let's go get a cup of tea.

Let's go.

Ms. Sang-eun, come with me.

Oh…

He just took your wife.

Oh…

I have a shoot today so I asked him to take her home.

She was my family once.

Yes, it seemed like she was.

Yes.

I should give you some kind of explanation, right?

Yes, I want to know.

We've been married for a while.

We got divorced seven years ago.

There's a saying that if you turn your back on

the closest person you know, then they'll end up being

the most distant person.

I feel like that with her.

There's nothing left between us.

We've arrived.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should have dropped you off at your place.

No worries. Thanks for giving me a ride.

I'll drop you off at your place.

No, it's okay. I want to go for a walk.

It stopped raining, so I want to get some fresh air.

Then goodbye.

Oh, Mr. Ji-ho.

Yes?

What I wanted to hear from you today was

why you came looking for me and

why you wanted me to leave with you earlier.

That was it.

He was surely preoccupied. He even forgot where he was going.

LATE REGRET MR. KANG HAE-JIN, ACTOR WAITING ROOM

Kang Hae-jin! You went to a hotel with her?

Are you playing games with me?

Get it together before your father gets involved.

Don't be trapped in your past memories.

You have grown up so well.

Then can I live how I want now?

Can I not consider the aftermath

and fall for you?

Jamie.

Can I really do that?

JAMIE

Jamie, I'm being serious.

Look at me please.

I'm home already?

I must be crazy! I walked for two hours!

Oh but I don't want to see Madam Yoo right now.

Gwang-nam where are you?

You're in Busan?

Why are you in Busan?

NICE SPEECH LEARNING CENTER

Yes, Mr. Jung Ji-ho. It's been a while.

I'd like to see you now.

Now?

Soju is the best when you have a cold.

-I don't-- -Don't drink it all but just

say cheers with me. Otherwise I'll be lonely.

I haven't seen you lately.

Why aren't you reporting it to work?

I don't know.

When I passed my bar exam she wanted me to get married.

My ex-wife that is.

My ex-wife hated being poor.

Right after I finished my legal training I became a tax lawyer.

I wanted to stick it out for a few years

then become a judge, which I dreamed of.

Exactly ten years later

I passed my judicial service exam.

I secretly bought a house and the day I was going to propose

she asked for a divorce.

This tastes sweet.

I haven't fallen for anyone since then.

This is the first time I've not been able to control myself.

Honey, I'm hungry. Come in and let's eat.

Well, I'm not good at getting close.

I'm trying my best.

But is it really necessary?

Enjoy the show.

But…

I think it's a good thing.

What is?

Seeing the person in front laughing.

I was afraid you wouldn't come to my house.

So I pretended to be indifferent.

I'm…

scared that you

won't like me.

I didn't want to run away this time.

But like a joke, my ex-wife appeared.

What I wanted to hear from you today was

why you came looking for me.

But I was busy making excuses.

Ultimately, I didn't do anything.

What did you want to do?

Why do you want her?

Mr. Ji-ho, you were my best husband.

I mean…

My best client.

How about phở today?

Take some rest I'll take care of it all.

Wow, this is so delicious.

So you can make me laugh.

It's unexpected but I like it.

A life where she doesn't exist…

it feels dreadful.

Bravo.

There's your answer.

Mr. Jung Ji-ho.

Go and tell her exactly what you just said.

Then it's done.

Is that right?

I'll have a serious conversation

when she comes on Monday.

This is so frustrating.

Am I your only friend?

I'm asking for counseling, not friendship.

Then why are you here

with a cold and drinking alone?

I'm not alone.

I'm waiting for someone.

Sung-mi?

He's here. Hey brother.

Bro, brother?

Brother?

Why are you here?

He's out because he's bored.

That can't be true, he hates going out.

I told you there's nothing wrong with him.

Well then, take a seat.

Stop showing off your height and sit.

Thank you.

He didn't drink with you, did he?

No, but that means more for me. Did you put your wife to sleep?

Yes, I used my arm as her pillow and sang 21 children's songs.

My arm feels paralyzed. Look at my hands shaking.

I'll get going now.

Yes, you're excused. Drinking doesn't suit you anyway.

He invited people over to his house yet didn't even touch a drop.

His wife went through so much trouble.

Oh wait, where is my snack?

Excuse me, can I have some bananas and seaweed?

Mix them for banana-flavored seaweed.

This is what I'm talking about.

That was good.

It's nice and sweet. Here you go.

-Here. -Thank you.

Okay, take one bite first…

and finish it with this.

It's so delicious.

I'd like a drink too.

You want to drink?

That's great.

Could we have another glass here?

Seven little Indians. Ten little Indians.

Little, little Indians.

Little, little Indians.

Little, little, little…

-I should stop. -You should stop.

Here, have some banana-flavored seaweed.

Are you not busting? You drank so much orange juice just to empty one bottle.

You'll be pissing out oranges.

Did I drink all this?

I keep tasting banana in seaweed.

I must be drunk. Nevertheless, it's delicious.

You finally did it. Attaboy!

Oh, you're still here? Or did you go then come back?

It's confusing. So difficult to tell.

-She's wasted. -Oh?

My love? Hey, you got a call. The phone!

Yes honey, why are you awake?

I'm out for a walk, somewhere a bit far away.

A children's song?

Right now?

Crake, crake, crake bird

They sing in the rice fields

He's such a romantic, a hopeless romantic.

I know another romanticist.

He's right here.

Saying that his life will be dreadful without her, or something.

Were you saying that about me earlier?

No, I don't think so.

Why are you so sure it's not me? Am I not good enough?

Because you're not the one. I'm going to leave now.

Mr. Jung, my friend.

Karaoke is on me.

That arrogant piece of bum.

And you're saying he's gotten better?

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo bird

They fly from the north

I'll be arriving soon. I want to see you now.

He's not worried about me?

I'm so sorry. It's me, Kang Hae-jin.

I'm so sorry. Did I scare you?

You scared me. What abut the shoot?

I used all my acting skills to finish it in one take.

The rest are done by doubles.

Wait, how did you know where I live?

I asked someone from work. His name is Woo Gwang-nam.

Why did he give my address…

I didn't ask for your address but I asked for his address.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

I might have missed you.

Why are you here?

You're asking me why I'm here?

I'm upset.

Take a guess. Number one…

Because I didn't like how the downstairs guy came and went.

Number two, I'm worried you won't be able to sleep

after seeing his ex-wife.

Number three, you owe me a drink so I want to go for a drink.

Number four, because…

Oh, I left it behind. You could have given it to me on Tuesday.

The answer is one, two and three.

I just brought this on my way here.

Let's go, there's a favorite place of mine I really like.

Let's go.

I think it's loose.

-Did it come undone? -Yes it did.

It's finally undone.

Who's that? What is he doing?

Ms. Sang-eun.

Don't worry I'll take care of it.

-Seriously… -Oh!

You jerk, why do you…

-Who are you and why do you keep coming… -What…

Why are you keep bothering Ms. Sang-eun?

He's freaking crazy.

Get off of me.

Come on, seriously.

Seriously, that guy…

-Stop it. -Move for a sec.

-He's drunk. -But I…

Wh-what is he doing? What's with him?

He's sleeping like that?

Give me a sec, Ms. Sang-eun.

Hey uncle, I need you to take care of something.

See you soon.

Who's that?

Someone that watches my back.

LOVE FOOD TRUCK

Hey uncle.

I was actually on my way to you.

But something's come up.

Oh my.

Is there anything you want to eat?

It's none of my business.

It's a limited edition. She has a good sense of style.

I just never taught her how to clean.

LOVE FOOD TRUCK FOR FUN AND PRECIOUS TIME LOVE FOOD TRUCK WILL BE WITH YOU

-Here you go. -Thanks.

How do you like my favorite go-to place? Isn't it great?

Yes it is.

Oh right, hold on.

Uncle.

Any leftover dried pollock?

Right here.

Make it tasty.

Okay.

So much happened this weekend.

He never acts out of character.

But he suddenly travels to Incheon to see me.

He got me meeting his ex-wife.

He drops me off at his place

then appears drunk and starts punching.

How many times a day does he play with my heart?

And where and how much did he drink?

He always acted so noble.

But look at him drunk, this is probably why his wife divorced him.

You're a man with simple taste. Where's soju?

What do you mean, simple?

This is expensive.

Soju doesn't match my pay. I'm not pretentious.

I'm going to enjoy all the great drinks till I die.

Drink on the rocks?

Let's do shots.

Shots? Sounds good.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

This is it.

Do you know we have similar taste?

Really?

-How are you feeling? -Thought you'd never ask.

I'm good, thanks to who looked after me.

But you should quit the meds.

I've taken it longer than you and relying on it isn't great.

What made it so hard for you?

You were perfectly cared for as an only daughter in an extended family.

So why did you do that 13 years ago?

Don't ask me. I just want to live in the moment.

Let's just have two shots each.

Sounds good.

I said let's just have two shots each.

I'm so full now from drinking all this. I'm struggling to drink now.

You said we'd have two shots then switched to a bigger glass.

You finished two bottles. I only had two shots.

Give it to me that's mine. Why are you so greedy over drinks?

It's because I'm upset kiddo.

Oh wow. You become condescending when drunk.

No one will understand

how I feel.

Why are you so upset?

I'm upset with so many things.

I'm pretty and cool.

I'm good at so many things.

I can win anyone over if I wanted.

-I haven't seen anyone better than me. -Is that right?

That's why people--

Fall for your charms and can't get over you?

They…

use me.

They use me to get what they want.

They only want me for those times.

Why make such foolish thoughts?

While living as Jamie for such a long time

that's the only thing I learned.

I have never…

ever received true love.

Then did you take my earnest feelings so lightly?

You used me as well.

You used me to block the scandals and to avoid an arranged marriage.

You don't think I can't fix all that without you?

Looking at you react, you must feel guilty.

I saw right through you.

You're such a cynical person.

-Are you awake? -Yes.

What day is it today?

It's Monday morning.

Then why are you guys together right now?

Why?

I'll get some water.

Can I have more dried pollock?

Kid.

Now I see why you hired her.

She's the one that you always talked about, right?

Your role model and your first love who shaped what Kang Hae-jin is today.

Just give me more of that.

Here you go kiddo.

-Also can I get some water? -Water? Sure.

Ms. Sang-eun.

Yes?

I just don't quite understand.

My heart feels like a chimney but it feels like

the smoke fills it up inside.

What are you…are you drunk?

Yes, I'm drunk. I'm very drunk.

You didn't even budge when I drank heaps during the housewarming party.

Your smile is almost as annoying as Joker.

Earlier

you dropped me off at your place. Why are you in my neighborhood now?

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Well…

I'm not too sure.

About what? Your feelings?

We're in a contractual relationship.

I pay for all the time I spend with her.

Do you think her expressions, words and actions are all genuine?

Having personal feelings is against our contractual agreement.

And she loathes violating any of the agreements.

You haven't felt her feelings at all?

His eyebrows are pretty.

You're my first love.

What if I'm rushing?

And that I ruin everything because of it.

There are so many different things to consider.

But there's not enough time to go through it all.

Ms. Sang-eun I…

Your kiss.

I want to be truly loved.

And I want to be kissed too.

Isn't uncle's coffee the best for hangover?

Uncle, what's the menu for tomorrow's shoot?

-How about spicy pork stir-fry? -Yes, that sounds good.

Since it's Tuesday tomorrow

why don't you come and eat? Dating at the set will be fun.

Yes, sir.

Oh yes, this is my first time so I don't know what to say.

It's fine. I've checked and you never used your vacation.

I'm proud that you slipped up.

I'm sorry sir.

I'm busy now, so bye.

Ms. Sang-eun, you got something on here.

It's gone now.

Don't cross the line.

What line?

It was inevitable for you guys to stay at the hotel because of your health.

But there was no reason to visit her that early on a Monday.

Oh, so you were offended?

But what can I do?

I've already crossed the line.

So I was wondering if you could slowly wrap up your contract with her.

What do you mean?

Although it's my personal life I'll tell you to clear things up.

Early in the morning today…

We confirmed our mutual feelings.

On what basis?

Do you not remember?

Seriously?

But there's not enough time to go through it all.

I want to be truly loved.

And I want to be kissed too.

I thought I had a bad dream.

I was so sure that it was a dream.

You guys are still in Busan? I'm almost home now.

I have a friend's wedding.

Of course they can't do anything without me.

I'm back.

Is sis asleep?

She wasn't out with you?

Sorry?

You're her husband, but you

don't even know if she's back?

Oh, that's right.

She said she was sleeping over at her friends house.

Well, let me call her.

I'm outside the house, so bye.

H-hello? Honey where are you?

Oh, I see.

Sure, no worries.

She's out shopping to cook for me.

Anyway…

Look at this guy, he's way out of line. I mean

why are you so handsome?

What should I wear?

Hold on.

Oh? Are you going somewhere?

I have to go to a wedding today.

Which one is better?

I'm asking as you're trendy.

Out of the two…

Are these really the best?

It really doesn't make sense.

A married couple? Married?

To this?

I hate getting scammed.

You better spill before I find out.

It's not technically a scam.

There's nothing in it for me.

I'm actually the victim here.

I'm a dead man now.

I think she stared at this longer.

There's no other way than to have her go abroad.

Why did you have to provoke the chairman?

I mean, don't you think so?

To put it bluntly, if she doesn't marry a son of the Gangjin group right now

she is a canceled project.

Are all five of them married?

I heard Kang Seon-jin's marriage isn't going well.

What do you mean? So what if they aren't married?

You saw her so you'd know.

Jamie's still good enough.

All four sons are married into top corporates

although not as good as the Ina Group.

Their youngest is a bit different.

It's a known confidential here.

He's a celebrity, a top star.

The youngest son?

Kang Yoo-jin?

His name is Kang Hae-jin.

It's hard not to know him.

He recently announced his marriage to an ordinary woman.

It's a limited edition. She has a good sense of style.

Who's this woman?

Well, they've kept it a tight secret.

Because of his upbringing, he's skilled at protecting his private life.

Rumor says even the Gangjin group doesn't know who she is.

So he doesn't even want to reveal the woman to his family…

I can't get the eyeliner right.

What do I do? What should I do?

Dating at the set will be fun.

It definitely was a look people give when people start dating.

Why did Kang Hae-jin have to come then?

And why was he just sleeping?

Okay.

I know it's hectic but get yourself together.

Let's just think. Today is Monday. So it's Monday.

Before I go to work I'll visit upstairs.

I'll apologize for yesterday and say it was a mistake.

And ask him to keep it a secret to downstairs.

This is pathetic.

There's no way…

Mr. Jung Ji-ho saw that.

That'll be the worst. Let's not even think about it.

What do I do?

I'm screwed.

You look so good.

-Really, just awesome. -Thanks.

-Congrats. -Thanks for coming.

-You look so handsome. -This is great.

I'll do a small wedding too.

Plan it after you meet a girl.

I do, he's the one you should worry about.

I know he's never dated.

That's right.

I forgot about Yoo Jung-han.

Can you just shut up? Seriously.

But hey.

You don't feel anything, being here?

Like you should start dating and get married?

Want to die when you go to a funeral?

I'm not into meaningless dating like you.

I'm going to raise a top star and buy a house, car and set up my retirement.

Only then I'll start dating.

Yep, that's not possible in this life.

I second that.

Is everyone enjoying their food?

We are close friends of Jung-eun, the star of today.

We've prepared a song to bless and congratulate

our beloved Jung-eun's marriage.

I hope you enjoy the song.

I'm so jealous of you, girl.

You look so beautiful today.

Sing me a lullaby

With your lovely voice

Tonight in my dream

Come and live with me

When I'm having a hard time or in pain

You would wipe away my tears

-Why does he look so familiar? - To you

Is it because he looks like an actor?

What should I say to you?

Firstly, your heart

Is like a tree that gives me rest

Secondly, your smile

Is like sunshine that Shines on me brightly

Thirdly, your hand

Keeps me in your arms Whenever I'm in pain

Hello?

Yes, I told Mr. Choi that we'll take care of the contract ourselves.

But guess what. I found someone good.

He's handsome, with a great voice.

We have to bring him to our company.

Okay, I'll get his number first.

Oh, that's right. There's someone I want you to meet.

He'll be working with us.

I can't believe this! You told me to rest till my cast is removed!

He'll be my bodyguard to take a load off you.

It always starts out like that. But you don't even know who he is…

That's it. I'm coming to work tomorrow. Bye.

Seriously…

Dang.

Jeez.

The agreement is with Kang & Jang but as you know I'll be in charge.

This is an important debut for me so I hope we do it well.

I didn't recognize you since I'm not into serious affairs.

But my boss told me about your amazing achievements.

It's quite eventful.

I dislike discussing it sober.

Let's go for a drink someday and I'll tell you all about it.

-Is he upstairs? -Sorry?

My ex-husband.

One house on each floor, right? You said you guys were neighbors.

He lives downstairs. I'm on top.

Early in the morning today we confirmed our feelings for each other.

I'll read into all her actions

but when I realize I'm just one of her clients it all goes down the drain.

It doesn't feel like a newlywed's house. I heard you usually date at home.

It's because we're not married yet.

If you look closely you can tell.

Oh she's calling me right now.

Yes, Ms. Sang-ein.

-Take care. -Okay, bye.

Right now? But it's Monday.

He's so in love. You can see his face is full of love.

Get in.

Why are you like that?

Do you want me to keep waiting?

I came to see Mr. Kang Hae-jin.

I'm his legal advisor.

We need to talk.

We need to talk.

-I've nothing to say. -Then listen because I do.

You don't have to waste your feelings on me.

I have never thought I was young but

I was young back then.

We can't change what's happened now.

But I admit I didn't have to hurt you so much.

I thought I'd be better off.

That's why I left. I wanted to be part of the people where being

successful and able to get what they want was the norm.

-Are you done? -I found out later.

That you quit being a lawyer

and bought this house. My dream house which I always talked about.

Have you been waiting for me?

That's right.

I bought it for my married life.

That's why I'm living there with my wife.

You're married?

Yes, it's been five years.

I see.

I'm curious now.

I wonder who you married since you have such high standards.

Do you want to know?

She's been divorced 12 times. Marriage is her job.

For a guy like me who know nothing about women

isn't she just right?

Ms. Sang-eun, you said you're here so why aren't you coming up?

I don't think I can make it today.

Did something happen?

I did want to talk to you in person.

What happened earlier

was my mistake. I'm sorry.

A mistake?

Oh.

You were very drunk then.

No it's not that.

Actually, you're right.

I'm so sorry.

I have to go now.

A mistake…

Married to the guy who lives off here.

You got me there.

Living off who?

I'm seeing someone.

So don't think about setting something up.

Kang Hae-jin.

The Ganjin group's youngest son.

What are you talking about?

You've realized after hitting rock bottom.

That you need to grab a string of diamonds. You did well.

My choice was right.

I knew you could do it.

Now the Ina group will be on the move.

Get ready to move back home.

You're right.

I got the Gangjin group's son that you've longed for.

But guess what? We have no interest in the Gangjin group.

Let alone the Ina group.

The kid got to the finish line that you made but she has no intention

of crossing the finish line.

How does it feel?

Is it a big blow for you this time?

Mr. Choi.

Kang Yoo-jin's fiancée is Jamie.

We need to set something up.

You called for me.

I have to leave soon because of my schedule.

Your dad wants to see you, so that shouldn't matter.

He met the CEO of the Sungan group.

Their youngest daughter

really wants to see you.

He's seeing a girl, though.

Father, he wants to live a simple life so let him be.

Someone needs to marry into one of the top ten corporate groups.

The Ina group is making their way into construction now.

Yoo-jin is different from us.

He doesn't have what it takes since birth.

Why don't you tell him straight up?

Who's the girl you're seeing?

Go find out who she is.

She's just an ordinary person.

Please don't pay attention to my marriage.

-What did you say? -Yoo-jin.

I've coddled you too much.

You don't need to worry about the girl.

I'll move all his things back from his house right away.

I warned you many times.

If you keep doing this, I don't know what I'll do.

I'll get going first.

Hey.

You did well, little brother.

Don't worry about what father said.

I've heard you're digging about my partner.

What do you mean, I'm digging?

I'm doing it because I worry about you.

She's Jamie Jung, daughter of the Ina group.

We don't intend to get married.

Because we're not calculating like you.

But you see

when I keep listening to you.

I want to be a good son.

Did I do well so far?

Your advice wasn't why I did it.

But it was a call I made.

So just stay quiet.

You're home. Can I borrow your car to shop in?

I'm so sorry. I was so scared.

Have you ever made eye contact with Madam Yoo this close?

It wasn't a human eye. It was like…

It was like she was scanning my brain. I mean I…

Thank you.

Wait.

Drop me off where I work out.

To which one? You work out in many places.

It's been a while since you've been here.

We have a new member that joined.

She's quite experienced.

Oh, you are Kang Hae…

We've met before,

Yes.

It'll be good to do it together.

Sure.

You're amazing.

Ms. Sang-eun, get in.

No, it's okay.

Then take care, bye.

Are you not coming to work without any notice?

That is frustrating.

-Ms. Choi Sang-eun. -I'm late for work. I'm sorry.

I really hate this.

I heard what you and your ex-wife talked about this afternoon.

Things about me.

I'm sorry that marriage is my job and that I've been divorced 12 times.

But you know it's a breach of our contract

if you use me for slander. I can cancel our contract.

-Won't you apologize? -I don't feel like apologizing.

What did you just say?

What I said earlier today was to convince myself.

To convince yourself?

How are you so shameless?

You're more shameless than me.

Excuse me?

What am I hearing right now?

Is that what you do when you're drunk? Do you say random things and kiss

a guy next to you whenever you drink? I didn't know that and

I was confused at housewarming.

Actually, this isn't even worth mentioning.

Wait a minute.

I don't do that when I'm drunk. Don't jump to conclusions.

It'd be more ridiculous if you were sober. It's raining.

It's wet, so get in. I'll take you home.

I'll get in own my own. I have feet too.

Make sure to take me home this time.

Why are you getting angry?

If not your drinking, what is it?

It's not my drinking…

Whatever. At least I'm not

a coward like you. I'm true to my feelings.

No, I am.

You? You have never been honest--

What is the issue you want to raise? Are you saying I've fallen for my ex-wife?

Are you saying you didn't?

Why don't you think it over again?

Let's go.

Ms. Sang-eun, come with me.

Of course I was flustered.

You even forgot to drop me off at my house.

I went there to confess my feelings

but how can anyone be calm if they see their ex there?

I was nervous and afraid of ruining everything.

Fine, I'm sorry I didn't drop you at home.

-What did you say? -I'm sorry.

No not that.

You were going to confess?

Then why would I be there?

You could have told me earlier. Then my self-esteem wouldn't have hit rock bottom.

Does this answer your question?

Let's meet up after your work tomorrow. Wednesday seems too far away.

It seems like a good morning.

Did he smile?

I'd like to end the contract.

I'm not confident enough to act like I'm okay.

Will the fans know that I also get dumped?

You've been with her just waiting for this moment? So you can hurt me?

But why am I glad? I'm happy that your hate

towards me was so great.

Do you really love him? Are you sure?

I'm going to put everything back where it belongs.
