(Episode 4)

Gosh.

Yes, Mom.

Gyu Jin, I called to get an earful.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I was only going to drink some from my own bottle.

But you know how I am.

- I can't help myself... - And you still drank?

Mom, you shouldn't have taken the first sip.

Why is that? Did your wife say something?

Did you argue because of me?

No, of course not.

- Did you have breakfast? - Yes.

I see you made bean sprout soup.

It wasn't well-seasoned though. I found it bland.

You're unbelievable, Mom.

- Rock-paper-scissors. - Rock-paper-scissors.

Doctor!

My gosh, Yoon Hoo. It's good to see you.

What's this? Look at how well your arm is.

Are you all good now?

- Yes. - Me too!

Si Yoon, yes, of course.

Why don't I take you on a plane ride?

Guys,

we'll meet again when you're even better.

- All right. - Good.

Bye, Si Yoon.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bye, guys.

Bye!

Tteokbokki, again?

We'll go once we finish this.

Let's go then...

Let me check my schedule first.

We were once like that too.

We were happy to just be together and so in love.

The good days.

Let's sit here.

I can't. Dr. Jung just called. I need to go.

I have something to give you.

Ta-da!

You said you were exhausted...

because you couldn't get much sleep in the past few days.

But you also said that sugar gives you energy.

Gyu Jin, I'm touched.

What if other people see us? Are you sure we can be this bold?

I'd like them to see us...

so that we can get caught.

Why? Am I too sexy? Having trouble staying away?

Wait, someone saw us!

What? Gosh, you startled me.

I nearly had a heart attack!

You have no idea how shocked I was.

The light,

the heat, the ticklish sensations...

I wonder where they all went.

Hit the big drum

Tap on the small drum

Play the xylophone

Nice!

Seo Jin, would you like to try the guitar this time?

Na Hee.

Hi, Hyun Gyung.

Oh, you must be here for Seo Jin's play therapy.

Yes, her dad is playing with her today.

I came out here to get something to drink.

I see.

Could I perhaps buy you that drink?

Sorry?

Mother must be going crazy.

Because of Da Hee, I mean.

Right.

My mom just has terrible luck with her kids.

I wasn't referring to you and Joon Seon,

so please don't get the wrong idea.

We did hurt her in many ways.

That much is true.

I bet it's hard teaching kids to write essays.

It's not easy going from house to house either.

You have no idea.

When I have back to back classes,

I barely have time to go to the bathroom let alone eat.

My stomach is never at ease and my bladder is suffering.

This is a surprise though.

You're not the type to play hooky like this.

You caught me off guard.

Is that so?

Hyun Gyung,

could I ask you something?

Of course, there was a reason behind this.

Go ahead and ask.

Why did you...

divorce my brother?

Was it because he lost the house?

I guess that made me pull the trigger,

but...

I guess I was unhappy.

You know how sweet your brother is.

While we were dating, that was what I loved about him.

After marriage though,

that also became what I didn't like about him.

He would lend his friends money and guarantee others' debts.

That was hard enough,

but then he'd often come home injured.

He had major surgery after Seo Young was born,

and I couldn't stop worrying.

I lost my parents at such an early age...

and I didn't want to lose someone else close to me.

Do you know what I loved the most after getting divorced?

I didn't have to hate him anymore.

That feeling was the best.

Why did you suddenly ask me that though?

The person you called is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the beep.

- Extra fees... - Got it.

Sure thing. I'll see you later tonight, Yeo Jin.

Young Hoon!

Goodness. What's going on?

You have no idea how shocked I was...

to see Da Hee come home.

It was as if I saw a ghost and I couldn't believe my eyes.

I've been shaking like a tree.

Didn't Da Hee tell you?

She won't say why.

All she said is that you two decided to call it quits.

What kind of parent...

would be able to accept this? You know?

I see.

Of course.

Marriage isn't easy.

There are many things to worry about and it's exhausting.

I hear that...

many couples fight on their honeymoons...

due to all the pent-up stress.

Still,

you should try to talk it out between you.

This is just wrong.

An annulment is out of the question.

Mother.

Yes, of course.

Go ahead. I'm sorry for talking too much.

You go ahead.

Please don't try too hard.

We're just not compatible in many ways.

All marriages get off to a rocky start.

You're supposed to build marriages too.

I know that Da Hee is indecisive and foolishly kind.

She even frustrates me too, you know.

She's quite stubborn too.

Yes, she is.

Don't I know it.

She's tactless too.

She seemed awkward around my mother,

so I took her home so that they can bond.

But...

Unbelievable.

Instead of trying to get along with my mom,

she spent the entire day washing the dishes in the kitchen.

You have no idea how frustrating it was.

Right.

Gosh, really?

Also, let's be honest here.

You know she lacks in many ways.

She didn't even graduate from a decent school.

I was going to let all of that slide,

but she wouldn't swallow her pride.

She could at least try to learn a decent skill...

or try to be more charming as a woman.

Are you going to the restroom?

No, I'm going home,

you punk.

You little brat.

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

What? She lacks in many ways?

What does she lack?

There aren't many women who are as sweet as my Da Hee.

Also,

how dare you take my precious daughter home...

and make her wash dishes before she's even married?

I didn't make her. She...

Shut it.

Forget it.

Now that I think about it,

my Da Hee...

is too precious...

to let you have her.

You can beg all you want.

I won't give her to you.

Never!

You, uncross your legs.

How dare you cross your legs in front of your elders?

Is it a civil service exam you passed?

So what if you did?

You're a snobby brat who doesn't respect people.

Who does she think she is?

This is unbelievable.

Just leave it.

I'll do it once I'm done.

Forget it. Mom would probably end up doing it...

and she's already upset because of me.

Gosh. Trying to be Daughter of the Year now?

That's rich considering what you did.

What did I tell you?

I said you'd get caught.

Stay for all your classes. Your mom is probably home.

All right. Got it, Seo Young. Bye.

You startled me. I thought you were Mom.

Are you all right, Da Hee?

Mom seems to be less angry now.

And so what if you're out here.

It's not like you did something terribly wrong.

It's all right.

Mom, you're here.

Da Hee just got out of her room. She says it just feels too stuffy.

Who told you to do the dishes? Why are you doing this?

Do you think we have no one else to do the dishes?

Mom.

From this time forth,

never do the dishes, okay?

What was that?

Why did she take it out on the dishes?

I don't know. She's different than usual.

Hello, it's me.

Thank you for attending the wedding ceremony.

But can you tell me your account number?

No. I'd like to give your gift money back.

My daughter is getting an annulment. It just happened.

No, it's not a divorce. Just an annulment.

Sure. They didn't register the marriage.

They didn't even go on a honeymoon, so it's not a divorce.

Right.

I said it's an annulment. Why do you keep calling it divorce?

Yes.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

Do you want to eat out tonight?

(Na Hee)

I'll stop by at my parents' after work.

Yes.

Can I get treatment now?

I didn't make an appointment though.

Hey, Jae Seok. When did you come back?

Gyu Jin!

You should've called home as soon as you got back.

You didn't even tell us that you're back.

And what's this about staying at a hotel?

This is why Mom is upset with you. You know that?

I do. That's why I didn't call her.

I went to Turkey to avoid Mom, but she kept calling me.

What if she finds out that I'm back?

You know I'm always at odds with Mom.

I need to be prepared before I reunite with her.

Don't be ridiculous. Why did you come back then?

You should've just settled down and lived there.

I was going to,

but I just couldn't live in a foreign country for life.

I can't eat pork there.

The day I returned,

I had pork belly and soju with a friend.

It felt like paradise.

You oddball.

So what's your plan?

I should work.

I signed a contract today. I'll start working right away.

I guess you found a job before you came back.

Where is it? Is it a university hospital?

No, it's your hospital.

Hey.

How could you decide it without telling me?

Gyu Jin. It will be fun, right?

You, your wife, and I. The three of us will work together.

Well...

I'm a big fan of your wife.

She's smart and clumsy at the same time.

She's so funny.

She hasn't changed, has she?

I don't know. Did she not change?

It feels like she did.

Am I the one who has changed?

Mom, I'm here.

What's all this?

I bet she's not in the mood for cooking.

Is she in her room?

Hey. Don't go in there.

She passed out after making 200 phone calls.

"Hey, it's not a divorce. It's an annulment."

She said that thousands of times.

It still rings in my ears.

"Divorce, annulment."

What about Da Hee?

Da Hee, what are you doing alone? It's chilly out here.

You're drinking without snacks.

Na Hee brought your favorite trotters.

Let's eat.

What are you doing?

Are you making rice at this late hour?

I'm making sikhye. Da Hee likes sikhye.

Ga Hee told me.

Good. I'm glad that you wrapped things up.

We can't get our way even with our own lives.

There's nothing we can do about our children.

Our children aren't any better or worse than others.

It just happened because we weren't lucky.

We just have to get through it.

Okay?

Da Hee, don't beat yourself up too much.

Mom will get over it soon.

I guess it will be a week at most.

I agree. She's used to things like this because of us.

I'm sure this is no big deal for her.

It's not that you divorced after losing your house like Joon Seon.

And you didn't come back home with a child like I did.

She's right. An annulment? You're no match for us.

It's no big deal.

I know.

Are you guys trying to console her?

Joon Seon, Ga Hee, and Na Hee.

- Yes? - Yes. Go ahead.

Actually, Young Hoon has been seeing someone else.

A girl from the training institute.

- What? - What?

Just sit down.

Are you saying Cha Young Hoon has been two-timing you?

Yes.

- That jerk... - That jerk...

He said he broke up with her, but I don't think so.

The girl did seem smart though.

To be honest, I couldn't understand a word...

his colleagues were saying.

It made me feel sad.

But what's worse is...

that Young Hoon didn't marry me for love.

His mom said he should marry a slightly dimwitted woman.

That's why.

- Because I'm too nice. - What?

That crazy idiot. I'm going to kill him.

Stop it.

How could I stay calm?

Above all things, I just can't forgive...

a guy who cheats on his woman.

I will make him lose his social standing.

Of course. We should never let this slide.

The three of us should take revenge on him.

We should go tear his two-timing legs apart.

How could you say such a thing?

She's right. That's disgusting.

How would you tear his legs apart? That sounds terrible.

No, even that isn't good enough for me.

How could he look down on you...

just because he is well educated?

It's okay. I think I'm better off this way.

To be honest, I wasn't sure Young Hoon was the right guy.

I just married him for his background like a snob.

I think I'm getting another chance.

You're right. This is better for you.

Sure. You could do better.

Of course.

But there is one thing I do regret.

I should've slapped him in the face when we broke up.

Other than that, everything's fine.

I will just focus on my work now.

I'll become a full-time employee for sure.

Good. You will. Good for you.

Hey, we're always on your side. Am I right?

Sure.

Are you?

Forget it. It sounds so lame.

You always spoil the mood like that.

You're condescending as always.

My point. Na Hee is smart, but she's quite condescending.

I know.

My gosh.

- Gosh. - What are you?

- Hey. - Why...

Da Hee.

Come here. Eat this.

Let's drink together.

Okay.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Did you spill it?

The door is open.

I'm here to settle things.

Don't live like that.

And you should never get married and just die alone.

How dare you do that to my sister?

I'll tear your legs apart.

Well...

What was that?

I heard you two-timed between my sister and another girl.

Gosh. Well... It's just...

Is that a yes or a no?

So you punched me back.

I should've taken off the ring. It hurts so bad.

You know, I was going to tear your legs apart, but I won't.

- Do you get it? - Yes.

- Behave yourself. - Okay.

Aren't you getting off?

I'm leaving.

Gosh, are they gangsters or what?

Why do they all want to tear my legs apart?

(You scumbag)

What?

What's this? What happened to my new car?

(I'll rip your two-timing legs apart!)

What's this?

No. No!

No!

(Neulpuleun Children's Hospital)

Ok Boon. Ok Boon.

- Hi. - Ok Boon.

What on earth happened?

We had no idea what had happened...

and made you buy us expensive Korean beef.

I feel terrible.

I can treat friends to a meal.

You must be so upset.

Even we feel terrible.

Exactly.

Why not take a few days off?

Why are you coming to work?

No, no, I'm fine.

An annulment is no big deal.

How is that not a big deal?

It's impossible to sell a chipped plate.

This is just unbelievable.

Should we find a good shaman and do an exorcism?

Maybe we should.

When I look at you,

I'm even more positive that it was best I had no kids.

Divorce doesn't run in the blood,

so why did three of your kids split up?

Kids are such a pain.

Two got divorced but one is an annulment!

Darn it.

Where are you going?

Aren't you going to work?

She seemed angry.

Did we just pour gas onto a burning fire?

It's not like I made things up.

It's all true.

Getting divorced is a big deal,

but splitting up on the day of the wedding is rare too.

- It is, right? - Yes.

Whose marriage was annulled?

Was her youngest daughter's marriage annulled?

My goodness. I don't believe it.

Poor Ok Boon.

So what if her husband is alive? Her kids are cursed.

She's a bit too greedy for her own sake.

She had four kids thinking they'd all be good to her.

The poor woman.

She must be writhing in turmoil.

Four!

Really? What time did she leave?

Okay, then. Bye.

Ok Boon left saying she's going to work.

Really? When?

A little over an hour ago, they think.

That's enough time to make 10 round trips.

Where did she get to?

- I don't know. - What a nuisance.

- The receiver cannot... - She's not picking up.

Oh, dear. No, it can't be.

Young Dal.

You don't think Ok Boon got any terrible ideas, do you?

There you go again.

You're going way too far.

It's not that. I mustn't be that.

Oh, dear, Young Dal.

I can't live without my sister.

Will you please calm down, Ok Ja?

Don't you know your sister is not that kind of person?

Don't be silly.

(8 dollars 60 cents, Seoul Taxi)

What's this?

It looks like she took a taxi.

A taxi?

Did she go to the Han River?

(Electronic Civil Service)

(Divorce by Mutual Consent)

Do you know what I loved the most after getting divorced?

I didn't have to hate him anymore.

That feeling was the best.

(Madam Jang Ok Boon)

Hi, Mom.

By the hospital?

Slow down, Mom.

It's like a fire is burning inside me.

What is it now?

You said you ended it well.

I didn't end it well at all.

Of course, it's a good thing she broke up with that jerk.

It's more than a good thing.

But why is it always me?

Why is it always my kids?

Do I ask for a lot?

I just want you to live ordinary and simple lives.

Is that so much to ask for?

- Mom. - My gosh.

You don't know.

I'd rather something happen to me.

My kids splitting up...

It's so upsetting and pitiful.

I get all sorts of ideas.

Did I raise you poorly?

Were your dad and I poor examples?

Mom, that's not it. Never, ever.

It's not just me.

I can't bear to face people in the market.

If they speak like that to my face,

what do you think they're saying behind my back?

This will last at least a month.

Should I go on a trip somewhere?

Will you send me abroad?

Shall I? Shall we go somewhere together?

No, I can't take you.

What about Gyu Jin?

- Listen, Mom. - Na Hee.

You are my only hope now.

You must live happily, okay?

I'm a married woman and there's not much to being happy.

Bear with and accommodate each other.

Then you grow on each other.

Don't you betray me.

Show me that you're happy.

If something were to happen to you, I'll bite my tongue and kill myself.

That won't happen, would it?

- Guess. - Wait.

Are you usually like this?

You should've noticed in 20 minutes.

I did notice.

When you're not with me,

you still laugh and joke.

Hey, hi.

Where are you? Still at work?

In the parking lot.

- I'm going home. - Are you?

Then instead of going home,

shall we meet there?

The bakery we often went to.

- Welcome. - Hello.

The traffic was terrible.

You wanted bread?

You could've told me to get some.

Do you want something? You like the bread here.

Not today.

I had spaghetti for lunch and I can still taste the grease.

Can you?

I was at work today and guess who I met?

I was in my office...

Let's get divorced.

What?

Let's get a divorce.

But under one condition.

(Once Again)

Fine, let's get a divorce!

We'll get a divorce. Happy now?

Look at that.

What a fine day to get a divorce.

Ok Boon!

It sounds like the title of a movie.

"2 Divorces and 1 Annulment".

That annoying cow!

There's only a position for one of you.

This is your last chance, so show me what you can do.

I have something to tell you.
