The time has come again.

The week in hell created by the maker himself.

PURE LINE SUPER WINGS

Out of all OECD countries, Korea's sanitary pads are the priciest.

Pads are way too expensive,

but when not changed often,

they become the source of odor and yeast infections.

There are a few things I cope with during this time of the month.

One of them...

is my uncontrollable sweet tooth.

- Yes? - Is it that time of the month?

Yes.

MENSTRUAL PAIN RELIEF

Thank you so much.

What's worse is that

I'm forced to live through this once a month.

HIT THE SPOT

EPISODE 3. THE MONSTROUS RUSH OF HORMONES

"Welcome back, zits. It's that time of the month again."

"Swollen gums that hurt when brushing teeth

is also a symptom of PMS."

"Being cranky while on my period

helped me successfully negotiate my salary."

"Someone I dislike bumped into me, and I screamed."

"My period hits me like a natural disaster.

Why does every month have to be so hellish?"

"If we bled through our mouths, we'd get off work early. What a shame."

On days like this, I hate my uterus.

You'd get rid of it if you could.

Your appetite increases, and you're horny all the time.

Zits, mood swings, and fatigue.

A week in hell courtesy of the maker.

Today, we dive into all the symptoms of our periods.

Many have written to us today.

"Last month, I had indigestion after binge eating.

This month, my stomach is on a hunger strike.

Every month, I experience another annoying symptom."

I crave carbs and chocolate,

so I always gain at least a kilo afterward.

What annoys me the most is that there's never a fixed date.

It's like the uterus is playing games with us.

It never comes when you're prepared, but always when you least expect it.

- I mean, seriously. - Same here.

"My breasts start hurting three days before my period,

and the pain gets worse the day before. It's killing me right now."

The slightest touch could be painful.

Even putting on a bra can be a challenge.

I can relate to every single one of you.

Here's someone with a unique PMS symptom.

Let's read it together.

"My PMS begins a week before my period.

It starts with feeling under the weather,

and then the monster inside me shows itself.

That monster is...

my hormones.

Please sit.

My damn uncontrollable hormones.

They make my heart skip a beat over nothing.

During this time, I get bloated and easily fatigued.

They say baths can be soothing.

Maybe it's because of the bubbles caressing my body...

but that's when my hormones start to act up.

Today, I choose this guy.

Please sit.

I dream about him with every fiber in my body.

Sometimes, romantically.

Sometimes, provocatively.

I'm free to imagine him however I want.

When my sex drive takes over, it's as if I've become a different person.

Is this normal?"

Of course, it's normal.

It's your hormones that make you horny during that time of the month.

After ovulation,

a hormone known as oxytocin is released and stimulates your sex drive.

So our hormones were to blame.

But it's not that we actually want sex.

What we actually crave is to be touched.

- Crazy, right? - Right.

Rather than wanting sex, it's more like...

How should I put it?

You crave physical contact such as patting, caressing, and hugging.

You want to be patted? What are you, a puppy?

Jeez.

Anyway, being horny on your period

doesn't necessarily mean you want sex.

When it comes to sex,

both parties should consent on when and how they want it.

Yes. Take notes and underline.

Good luck to everyone who is struggling with their hormones.

WHAT A FUN EPISODE

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE

These are so pretty.

Isn't this cute?

- Can I take a look at... - Hey.

You got something similar last time.

- Did I? - Yes.

- No, I didn't. - Yes, you did.

May I take a closer look at this?

Of course.

Hey, aren't you going to end it with Hyun-woo?

Why are you getting him a gift?

It's our fifth anniversary this week.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

I've been thinking,

and it seems like we've gotten too used to each other.

It's why we lost sight of how much we mean to one another.

What a load of crap.

That's how it is when you're no longer in love.

A comfortable relationship is based on love too.

Not all relationships have to be stimulating and passionate.

You talk as if you guys are an old couple.

I bet you didn't know

that he still carries the cheap wallet

I got him five years ago for his birthday.

That was expensive for you back then.

You didn't have a stable job.

Exactly.

It's why he really appreciated the gift.

That's what he still carries, which proves what kind of guy he is.

This is cute. Can I...

Hey.

You already own something similar.

No, I don't.

Yes, you do.

Your impulse buying tells me your period is about to start.

Damn it. Are you rubbing off on me?

You'll regret it later when your credit card bill comes,

so just stop.

I'll take this.

- Sure thing. - Thanks.

Hey.

Did the Big O pay a visit?

- The Big O? - Yes.

So that's how it's done.

Awesome. What did I say about toys never disappointing you?

Tomorrow, you'll finally...

- Aren't you on your period? - Yes.

But you booked a hotel room for your anniversary.

What a bummer.

There'll be other days.

Hey.

I've waited five years. Another week won't kill me.

You seem busy.

Hey.

Check this out.

Why are you obsessed with men getting waxed?

Haven't you had pubic hair get stuck in your teeth

while having oral sex?

- You're right. - See?

I've lost my appetite. Let's stop eating.

As if there's anything left to eat.

Talking about body hair reminds me of that jerk.

Some bastard broke my side-view mirror and drove off.

Just thinking about it makes me angry again.

I'm just glad you didn't get hurt.

His hair was a mess,

and he had the scruffiest beard.

Isn't that a hit-and-run?

Did you get his number?

Don't get me started.

He wrote his number on a copy of his criminal background check.

Unbelievable.

Do you think he could be the nice and neat Mr. Right

you've been searching for?

Just shut up, go home, and give yourself a stomach massage.

Be careful, though. There are lots of weirdos out there.

I need to get going.

- Bye. - See you.

Can you send me the insurance papers?

I'll take care of it right away.

MR. HIT-AND-RUN

Right away? It's already been three days!

Does this jerk have no sense of time?

You don't have the documents.

Hold on.

Just a second.

PERFECT SEX PARTNER REQUIREMENTS

What a nutjob.

I must've lost my mind. What should I do?

Damn it!

Damn it.

I like your terms.

How about we add our resident registration papers?

What?

Thank you.

Isn't it good?

Is this really worth 110,000 won?

Next time, let's go for Korean beef and get our money's worth.

I think it's nice.

Good. At least one of us is enjoying it.

My mom wants to see you next month.

Your mom?

We both have stable jobs now,

and you should get pregnant soon since you're over 30.

Are we getting married?

Isn't that where we're headed? We've been together for five years.

Shouldn't there be an order to things?

What's wrong? Don't you want children?

That's not the issue here.

Then what is?

Forget it.

Are you done? Let's head upstairs.

Ms. Lee Mi-na. We're ready for you.

He's totally my type.

Wait.

It's you, right? License plate number 1174.

Did you file an insurance claim?

Right. You're the hit-and-run guy.

Hit-and-run?

What else would you call it, then?

Is that what it was?

"Is that what it was?"

Don't you owe me an apology?

Sorry.

Took you long enough.

You look different today, though.

I didn't recognize you.

I've been busy lately.

Ms. Lee Mi-na?

Yes, I'm coming.

Ms. Lee.

Should I get my documents ready?

I'll be in touch.

- This will hurt. - Okay.

Excuse me.

The guy who was just here.

Yes?

Did he get a Brazilian?

Yes. He's actually one of our long-term clients.

Is that so?

- This will hurt. - Okay.

Gosh, it's so pretty.

FC Seoul's defensive line was penetrated,

giving their opponents an open chance.

FC Seoul has had this problem for a while.

Even in their game against Incheon FC,

- the same thing happened. - That's right.

One wrong pass led to their opponents scoring.

About ten years ago,

Torres, who played in the EPL at the time,

made this exact same mistake.

Can't you turn that off?

What?

Sure. In a second.

Lee Sang-min passes to Park Dong-jin.

FC Seoul must be relieved that their opponents didn't score.

That's right.

- Defense is down! - Paločević has the ball.

Are you going to have any of this?

- What? - He hasn't taken the shot yet.

He takes a shot with his left foot!

- Sure. - It was blocked.

What a massive save!

You should know

that my gynecologist confirmed that I don't have anorgasmia.

What?

You went to a doctor just to confirm that?

I just wanted to make sure. I could've been the problem, after all.

So I tried doing it alone.

Alone? You masturbated?

Yes, I did.

I masturbated.

And it was good.

What? It was good?

You've been acting weird lately.

First, you shove a sex toy in my face, and now...

So what if I did?

So what if I got a sex toy?

So what if I masturbated?

There's nothing wrong with that.

There's still a line you shouldn't cross. You're being ridiculous.

I'm exhausted as it is. Don't add to my stress.

I get up every day at 6 a.m. to take the subway to work.

- And all day, I'm stuck with... - Hey!

You're not the only one.

I work too, you know.

Why is everything always about you?

I...

I was really anxious about this.

Everyone else has orgasms just fine,

so I thought it was my fault for not being able to have one.

That's why I tried it on my own.

And I had an orgasm.

I just couldn't have one with you.

Just you.

Why have you been having sex with me if it was that bad?

Because I liked you.

Shit.

So I was the only one who liked it?

You didn't?

I just liked being in your arms

and being intimate with you.

But what about me?

I want to feel satisfied too.

Why can't you understand that?

I see.

So I'm the one with the problem.

I get that you're sensitive when you're on your period,

but there's so much that I can take.

You just want me to keep things bottled up like I've been doing all this time.

Everything has to be done your way based on how you feel.

What did you even do here tonight?

Watch TV?

Browse the menu?

Did you even bother to notice the work I'm putting into our relationship?

Enough already!

Not once...

Not once did it feel like we were a couple in love today.

Five years does that to people.

We're way past the honeymoon phase!

Tell me. What did I do that was so wrong?

You always blame me for everything.

It's exhausting.

I get what you're saying, so let's just end it at that.

Sure.

Let's end it.

What?

You expect me to live like this forever?

No, thanks.

Let's talk about this.

I'm done here.

Let's talk back inside.

You're being overly sensitive. It's the hormones talking.

I've seen you get this way before.

I get it, so let's sit down and talk.

Stop it.

It's over between us.

Five years of this is enough.

Like Hyun-woo said, our breakup could've been

the result of my hormones spiraling out of control.

But in some way, I owe it to my hormones

for helping me end this already-broken relationship.

MISSED CALLS: HYUN-WOO

MI-NA: HOW WAS IT LAST NIGHT? WHY AREN'T YOU READING YOUR TEXTS?

ARE YOU STILL AT THE HOTEL?

MENSTRUAL PAIN RELIEF

MI-NA: ANSWER ME, OR I'LL CALL 911!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

What? No way.

So the hit-and-run guy texted you back

and it turns out he gets himself waxed regularly?

Exactly. Unbelievable, right?

That's insane.

Hey.

Maybe he's the guy you've been looking for.

The male version of you.

You seem more excited than I am.

Are you going to contact him?

Are you?

Of course.

Why pass up a guy who waxes?

From Mr. Hit-And-Run to Mr. Brazilian Wax.

This is amazing!

Congratulations!

Look at you go.

You've lost your mind.

But I'll let it slide today.

It's good to be out and about, right?

Yes, I'm having a blast.

I'm a free woman now.

But what was the reason for the sudden breakup?

You were all sentimental about the love that long-term couples have.

I didn't want to fake it for the rest of my life.

Like you said, I'm going to put myself first.

Good. That's music to my ears.

Love is just emotional labor.

You're so right.

- Hee-jae. - Yes?

Let's go crazy tonight.

- Drink up! - Drink up!

I am

A dazzling

- Single woman - Single woman

Mi-na, how about another drink?

I don't mind you going crazy tonight,

but I think I might die.

- So that's enough. - Hey!

I'm free!

I feel ecstatic!

Things couldn't be better.

Wait for me.

- I'm going to throw up. - More drinks!

Stop it.

Jeez.

Gosh.

Here comes a cab.

- I'll get going, then. - Sure.

Bye!

What ended was my relationship,

but what I needed to forget were the memories we shared.

Ta-da.

What's this?

It's your birthday this week.

No way.

A wallet is just what I needed.

Thank you.

It's not expensive.

Next time, I'll get you a designer brand.

The price doesn't matter.

What matters is your heart.

Thank you so much.

Hee-jae got me a wallet for my birthday.

Hi, guys. There you go.

You too, Hee-jae.

Thank you!

This is for you.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Back then, I couldn't even imagine where we'd be in five years.

I SMELL LIKE FEET I'M OFF WORK!

WHEN WILL YOU GET HERE?

ARE YOU STILL BUSY?

No, there's no issue with me.

You brought it up, so the issue must be with you.

Did you even bother to notice the work I'm putting into our relationship?

Enough already!

Not once...

Not once did it feel like we were a couple in love today.

Stop it.

It's over between us.

Five years of this is enough.

I had to say goodbye to him

and then say goodbye to my old self who used to be in love with him.

Hey, are you okay?

It hurts.

I'm on my period, and my stomach hurts.

EPILOGUE

- So... - So...

You go first.

I'm sorry...

for not loving you enough...

until the very end.

Still...

My entire 20s...

was devoted to you.

You know that, right?

I wanted you to have this.

I'm going to go now.

And just like that, my relationship of five years

came to an end.
