New Year's Press Conference
The person I like...
is you, Da Jeong.
Is everything still not settled yet?
It's almost done. What about the Prime Minister and Nam Da Jeong?
Ms. Nam Da Jeong, it's about time you got up.
Ms. Nam Da Jeong!
Ah, my head.
Ow!
It would be weird if you were fine after drinking all that alcohol.
Aigoo.
Prime Minister, can I not go today?
Of course not. What are you saying? Get up immediately.
Augh, I can't.
This really won't do.
Won't you get up? Come out in 5 minutes.
Will she be alright?
Don't hate me too much. You shouldn't have done bad things.
Hey, reporter.
What are you doing here?
Ah, seriously! Why are you scaring people?
But what's that?
Oh, it's, you'll find out soon.
Today I will demonstrate what a true reporter is.
Enjoy watching.
I have an uneasy feeling for some reason, right boss?
I for one have also prepared something for Reporter Nam to teach her a lesson.
Augh, my head.
Endure it, Kkang Da Jeong. Endure it with kkang (power).
For the Prime Minister, I must endure.
C...Chief Kang.
It seemed like you had quite a bit to drink yesterday - are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
At the reporters' meeting today, there will be quite a few personal questions.
Since you two are quite an issue, it's unavoidable.
Just respond calmly, and if there is an uncomfortable question, send a signal to Secretary Seo.
And, as for yesterday's incident-
Oh, it looks like it's already time to start.
If I'm late I'll probably get in trouble with the Prime Minister. I'd better get going.
Are you still not okay?
No, I'm okay.
If you're really not okay, you don't need to come out.
Ms. Nam Da Jeong.
Don't worry Prime Minister. Don't you think the flower of today's event is supposed to be me?
If I'm missing things will be inconvenient.
Oh we need to eat this.
Hey, hey!
Once you consume this,
for two days and one night there will be nonstop diarrhea. It's the best.
I'm just going to put this in here, and-
What? Put that in there and give it to whom?
By any chance, Da Jeong noona?
Have you forgotten how the Reporter Nam who used to be at the same status as us ignored us?
Anyway, just you try ignoring me today again. I won't leave you alone.
Very soon, we will be starting the reporters' meeting.
Da Jeong noona.
Editor boss, thank you so much for coming.
By any chance, you're not still mad about how I rejected you last time?
Oh, of course not! I'm not that kind of person.
I understand your feelings very well.
Our Repor- I mean, Lady Nam should also have a drink.
What are you doing? Lady Nam is waiting.
Eh hey - here!
You should be thirsty. Drink it up.
What's wrong? Did you drink yesterday?
Yeah, you don't look good.
Seriously, a Prime Minister's wife drinking? That's not good.
As if that would be true.
Our Nam Da Jeong doesn't normally drink alcohol.
There's no need to force yourself. I'll drink this.
Then,
Why would you-!
What do we do?
Even this year, for the citizens...
Hey, doesn't Prime Minister Kwon not look good?
From my point of view, Da Jeong noona looks worse.
I'd like to give a question to Lady Nam Da Jeong.
Last year, you were our nation's greatest issue maker.
As a husband, what kind of person is Prime Minister Kwon Yul?
As most of you know,
he is stoic, cold, picky, and very hard to approach.
But...
at least to me,
he is the greatest husband.
I'd like to submit a question too.
You two seem to have a great relationship,
just as though I'm seeing a perfectly planned performance.
The name of the performance would be, "A hoax on the people of the whole nation."
Deception?
No way.
Both of you, is this a genuine marriage?
Isn't it a contract marriage?
Contract marriage?
With what evidence are you saying that?
Evidence?
Fine, I shall show you.
It's Madame Nam Da Jeong and Chief of Staff Kang In Ho!
This isn't the only evidence.
According to Nam Da Jeong's dad and the records from the police station,
This is 100% definitely a contract marriage.
Hey Prime Minister! Are you going to continue lying like this?
You, there!
Right now, I! ..I was wrong, Reporter Byun.
I was wrong and should die Reporter Byun.
What are you doing, not begging?! Come out!
It seems like it is indeed impossible to fool your experienced eyes.
Just this once. Just forgive us for this once.
-Byun Woo Chul! -Byun Woo Chul!
But...
at least to me, he is the greatest husband.
I would like to submit a question.
Please do so.
Please ask your question.
My inquiry is...
What is it? -My question is...
What's wrong with Reporter Byun?
You know that 1 night 2 days champagne?
I gave it to Reporter Poo.
Really?
Contr-
My question...
Reporter Byun?
Where is the bathroom?!
I can hold it! I can hold it!
Gae(Dog)? Gye?
What was he trying to say?
Contra...
Contract? -We will move on to another question.
Isn't this marriage a contract marriage?
I'm right, right?
From the beginning it's been a hoax, right?
It is a contract marriage.
it is a contract which we both two have obligation to obey
and promise each other not to violate the rules
we vowed, as we got married.
As a wife and as a husband,
let's give our best to each other.
This woman, I will never let go of this woman.
Because our marriage is a legal contract.
Sit down, sit down.
Are you okay?
Pre-..
Pregnancy?!
No, no, that's not it, everyone.
That's not...
I'm going to go crazy because of Nam Da Jeong.
You explained clearly to the media, right?
Yes, I did.
I said she just wasn't feeling well.
Also, Prime Minister...
Back then, you couldn't say something you didn't mean,
now you seem a bit different.
When you said you will never let go of Nam Da Jeong,
Although I know you didn't really mean it, from my opinion, it's a very appropriate response
I think it's great that your answers conform to politics
This woman, I will never let go of this woman.
He said he will never let go.
Hello, Chief Kang.
Then, I will go ahead first.
Miss Da Jeong,
Miss Da Jeong, look at me.
I couldn't go to sleep last night.
I should just acted as a nice and comfortable guardian angel beside you
Was it unworthy that I told you how I feel?
But,
I don't regret confessing to you.
Because it's true that I like you.
It was something..
I wanted to say at some point.
Chief Kang...
It's just because you feel so comfortable with me
That you don't even realize my existence
It's better that my existence can make you uncomfortable
I just...
want to be a person you're comfortable with.
No... where did all the photos go?
Ah...
That human being, when did he take all these pictures?
Reporter Poop, he is definitely worthy of the name
He must be the only reporter who pooped in the Prime Minister's residence.
Let's go. -Yes.
Nam Da Jeong,
what should I do with you?
My homework
is you.
Prime Minister.
No...
Why exactly do I have to be here?
It feels so lonely to eat alone.
It's great that you joined me.
Ah, after we had ramen, should I read you a book?
A book?
Just had a piece of quietness, why all of a sudden...?
Because I think you're not sleeping at night again.
Do you have anything you're worrying about?
Not about the national affairs, but I was thinking of solving a homework problem.
Homework?
What kind of homework?
You don't have to know it.
Although I don't know what kind of homework you personally have,
I can say one thing for sure.
You shouldn't put homework off.
Because you'll have to do it someday.
But,
Here.
It's okay to put it off a little for this kind of delicious food.
Isn't it a shame to give up present happiness for something you can do at anytime?
Don't you think?
Here, hurry up and eat.
I thought Prime Minister might eat some, so I made three packages.
You have to eat a lot.
Three? Geez.
But...
what about the eggs?
Didn't you break in the eggs?
Hey... you don't know how to eat ramen.
You have to be able to feel the original flavor of the broth.
Let's see,
let my try it.
How is it?
Delicious, right?
This is, well,
it's edible.
Wipe it off.
Where?
Not there, but above it.
Here?
No, I said it was this side.
This side, yeah.
What are you two doing?
You two were going to kiss, weren't you? Right?
What? K..kiss?
Kwon Na Ra, what are talking about?
It definitely looked like you were going to kiss.
Right?
It's true.
♫ Daddy... and Ahjumma... were kissing!... were kissing!...♫
Man Se, it totally wasn't that. ♫ were kissing!...were kissing!...♫
Daddy and Ahjumma kissed.
What? Prime Minister was kissing?
It's true! I saw them yesterday!
It's a secret.
You can't tell anybody else.
I should tell Reporter Shin too!
Thanks, Man Se!
I thought they did seem warm together.
I guess they're still hot.
Why are you fussing over a mere kiss?
I saw something even more than that.
What did you see?
I can't even say it with my own mouth.
Roll-y, roll-y... you know that kind of thing?
Roll-y, roll-y?
What?
Tell us, Ahjumma! What does that mean? Ahjumma!
That Kwon Man Se...!
Ah, this is so embarrassing!
Why do I have to get this kind of unpleasant misunderstanding because of somebody?
Unpleasant misunderstanding?
Who told you to wipe off someone else's ramen soup?
I didn't even ask you; you're the one who chose to do it.
Who are you taking it out on?
What are you doing now? Get away from me.
If you have something to say, then say it. Is it all my fault for this misunderstanding?
It's because Nam Da Jeong keeps coming out like this that we keep getting misunderstood.
I'm warning you, from now on,
stay at least 2 meters from me!
Access is restricted.
This is an order.
Gosh!
Seriously,
I have to stay far away from that woman for now.
My heart is going to explode from getting these absurd misunderstandings.
What?
Access is restricted?
What did I do that access is restricted now?
Oh, Madame!
Madame didn't go with them?
What? To where?
Earlier the Prime Minister and the children were leaving to go to the skating rink.
The skating rink?
They went and left me out?
Good! Woot!
Uh...
If I hadn't had an upset stomach that day...
It's quite alright. I did it because I didn't think it wasn't bad to have such a famous reporter as a friend.
Minister,
the punks that stole my photos that day,
I have a feeling I know who they are. These punks...
Photos?
The evidence that you were telling me about were photos?
Yes.
They are photos of Prime Minister's wife and the Chief of Staff taken together.
My objective is Kwon Yul.
It isn't Nam Da Jeong.
So this was it?
Hold off for a bit, Reporter Byun.
What? M..Minister!
It was fun today, Minister.
Good work today.
What does he have in mind to push things back?
Anyways, I've done what I could.
You were right.
I think Reporter Byun is plotting something with Minister Park.
I knew it. I'll meet you there later.
Who are you? Why are you following me?
Please let go of me.
Reporter Park?
I came because I had something to say!
Secretary Seo, why are you here?
So elegant,
it doesn't appear as if you came here to golf.
Did Prime Minister Kwon come here to play golf?
Of course not.
As you know, our Prime Minister does not play golf.
He went to the skating rink with his family.
Skating rink?
If that's the case,
you...
came here to meet Minister Park?
Am I right? I'm right, aren't I?
Oh, Minister Park is here? I didn't know.
What? You didn't know?
Do you think that I don't know that you're lying?
Where do you get off wagging your tail to someone else's husband?
I'll say this one more time. I did not meet with Minister Park.
Also, you keep misunderstanding my relationship with Minister Park,
but it really bothers me because I'm single.
I am NOT interested in a married man!
Th..th...that mannerless wench!
Madame, you can't leave those kinds of women alone. You have to teach them a lesson!
That's right, that's right! You have to teach them a lesson!
W...wait!
I might look weak, but I am actually very strong!
Oh, r..really?
Really...
We mustn't move without a plan.
Why did you stop Reporter Byun from spreading the pictures?
It seems like a good idea.
We can't throw away our Kang In Ho card like that.
Right.
But, there were a lot of reporters saying that the Prime Minister and his wife have a good relationship.
Good relationship?
Honey!
You didn't eat lunch yet, right?
I packed lunch for you and me to share!
Don't do stuff like this!
You're so cruel.
Really cruel.
You don't even see a person's sincerity.
So why are you doing stuff you never do?
It's because I wanted to be with you!
Even that blunt and brusque Prime Minister
went to a skating rink with his family!
What are you?
Kwon Yul went to the skating rink?
It would've been nice if Ahjumma had come with us.
No kidding, we could've seen her fall on her butt, and it would've been really funny.
Oppa, why did you want to come to someplace like this? It''s so babyish.
Hey, Kwon Na Ra. Don't you remember you used to have lots of fun here when you were little?
Me?
I don't remember that.
I came here before?
Hey, kids!
Ajumma!
Why did you come here, Ahjumma?
I came to do exercise, too.
But, where is Prime Minister?
♫ I walked alone ♫
♫ Following your footsteps ♫
♫ The road we walked together ♫
♫ My heart felt lighter ♫
♫ I've been hoping we get together ♫
Prime Minister...
Why are you here, Nam Da Jeong?
We live under the same roof,
it's not good educationally and humanly that
you left me out this way.
Doesn't it cross your mind that there are
thoughtful means for leaving you out?
What's the thoughtful means?
Are you going to keep standing there?
Of course. Since I rented these, I should make my money worth.
Just do as you wish.
One, Two, One , Two...
Two, Three, That's right.
One. Two.
Put your waist at 15 degree.
Man Se!
Legs!
Go straight, Straight.
Look up!
One, two. That's right.
Don't be scared.
♫ Look at my hidden side ♫
♫ For you to feel my heart ♫
♫ For us, breakup is ♫
♫ Not yet to come ♫
♫ I won't rush it, because you're my honey again ♫
Yeah, that's right. ♫ Stay there ♫
I'm hungry.
Prime Minister, can we stop with exercise and,
go somewhere to eat?
The kids look tired, too.
What are you talking about? You only learned the basic posture.
Uncle! -It's uncle!
Uncle! -Uncle!
Na Ra and Man Se, are you having fun? -Yes!
Have you been well, Woo Ri?
Why are you here?
It feels quite bitter. Can't you say it in a more welcoming tone?
You've changed a lot. At the new year's press conference,
I heard how lovely your couple looked together.
Aren't you trying a bit too hard as a show-window couple?
Did you come here to say this?
That' right. I wanted to witness it with my own eyes,
whether you have changed or not.
But,
it seems you have really changed for the family.
It's really surprising to see you here with your kids.
We came here because Woo Ri said he wanted to.
It must be so. This place is,
where Na Young usually took the kids to have fun.
When you, Kwon Yul, were always busy and
always weren't home.
You didn't know that?
You got caught playing games.
Don't be talking about me and just mind your own business.
It's noisy! Just stop it already.
Ah, Madame,
have you been making the dolls well?
The dolls? What dolls?
Ah~ that charity bazaar?
That frog doll?
Look here.
Do you think I have time for those things?
I am a busy person.
Our dad is also busy, but he's been making the dolls.
N...no. Prime Minister...
help you to that extent?
Since you two are newlyweds, you guys must be happy living together.
- No, it's not like that. - It's true that they're happy living together.
They even kissed last night!
Man Se!
I saw it. They were kissing in the study.
Man Se, what are you talking about?
Let's go if you're done eating.
Then...
That little wench, in front of me,
is she showing off their happily married life or what?
So annoying! Really.
Why are you mumbling by yourself?
Honey...
honey, would you like a cup of coffee?
We should go now.
Already? -I don't want to!
No! I'm going to play some more!
I want to ride some more!
Wait a while, I'll go another round with him and come back.
Are you okay?
Omo! Omo!
I hate to see that.
What are those two doing?
You said, they got married not because they like each other.
Chief Kang, you're on our Da Jeong Noona's side, right?
I can take care of Reporter Byun in the future, but
it would be the best if you can be careful, too.
I have no idea what Reporter Byun and Minister Park Joon Gi
are mapping out a plan.
I can't just directly ask Reporter Byun in person.
I don't know what I should do.
We have to figure it out no matter what it takes.
Ah, have you
confessed to Nam Da Jeong? -Pardon?
Bringing up that topic all of a sudden?
So you did?
Chief Kang, you're really great.
Okay, I lost.
Where did you gain that kind of courage?
This is Kang In Ho. I would like to meet you right now.
Good. I'll call back after rescheduling the time and place.
Uncle!
Next time, come to our house to have fun.
I'll show you my room.
Okay, Man Se. Behave well. All of you, too.
Yes. Goodbye.
Let's go, kids.
I know you wouldn't like it, but can I invite the kids to my home sometimes?
of course. You're the kids' uncle after all.
By the way, you...
you seem to have forgotten about Na Young.
Because of that woman.
But,
don't you think it shouldn't be that way?
This is the strawberry ice cream you like, Prime Minister.
Please eat and gain some "pow! pow!" strength!!
General Kwon Yul, fighting!
I think... you've forgotten all about Na Yeong.
Prime Minister, you've come.
Why did you come out?
You told me to exercise.
Starting now
I'm going to train hard.
Beginner can learn at a school.
Prime Minister,
you agreed to teach me.
I did? When?
I said it's good to exercise even when it's cold.
I never said I'd teach you.
Alright everyone, are you ready?
Start!
Hyah!
One!
Hyah!
Two!
Hyah!
Heoi!
Are you going to continue standing there?
Prime Minister, come have a meal.
Uh, not now.
I have too many materials to take care of...
Still, you should take your meal.
No, I'm alright.
I don't feel like it.
I understand.
Why is Prime Minister acting this way towards me?
Is he mad at something?
Ajumma, do you have a concern?
Wha-t?
No, what concern.
Then, stop sighing already and leave?
I have to solve all the incorrect problems again,
I couldn't work on them.
Gees...
Ajumma, do I get 11 points, if I have Godolyi,
Chodan, and Hongdan? (He's referring to Go-stop scoring scale.)
Man Se, why on earth are you asking about stuff like that?
Aigoo, drives me crazy.
Dad! You can't ask that sort of thing to a child.
That's because,
all these senile old farts are
saying that Godolyi, Chodan, and Hongdan is
worth 13 points!
It's 11 points, I'm certain!
5 points for Godolyi, 3 points for Chodan, and 3 points for Hongdan, then
11 points is correct.
You're calculating well too now, Dad.
YOU SEE?! My daughter says it IS 11 points!
People are so...
Can't you count that easy score properly?!
By the way, is that the reason why you called?
Yes, well it was. But,
by the way, last night
you were in my dream, Da Jeong.
In your dream?
That's right.
You were wearing a bright white mourning clothes,
and were being chased by wolves with piercing blue eyes,
that dream just left such terrible taste.
Hopefully, everything is okay with you?
Of course I'm well.
That was a dog-dream, dog-dream! (Meaningless silly dream)
There's nothing bad happening to me, so focus on taking care of yourself!
You're eating well, not skipping your pills, and exercising hard, right?
Ah, hey, let me go. We're about to play another round.
Dad.. DAD!
Goodness.
Oldman... Worries about nothing!
Let's go again.
I'm going to run it fairly,
so if you try to cheat, I'll kick your butts!
Got that guys?
These people... I let you run free,
and just don't recognize that I'm letting things slide. Eh?
You shouldn't be playing unfairly, people.
Since when have you been there?
It hasn't been very long.
You seemed to in deep thought.
Do you have a worry or something, Prime Minister?
If it's something you can disclose to me, wouldn't you like to tell me?
Who knows? I may be of help.
Let's just get inside.
Is there something I've done wrong?
If that is the reason why you're acting like this,
tell me what I did wrong.
It's not that.
Then...
Why have you been avoiding me all day?
You won't meet eyes with me, and talk as if you're mad...
It's a little strange, Prime Minister.
Fine then.
I'll tell you honestly.
You have become uncomfortable to me.
I... have?
How come?
Just because. You're uncomfortable.
At first I was thankful
that you tried to be nice to the children.
However, it's become burdensome now.
Mr. Prime Minister...
This is only a contract marriage.
So,
I wish you wouldn't try too hard.
I think that would be good for both of us.
I don't want to!
Nam Da Jeong.
I think you're saying this because you worry about me,
but I told you that I 'm a person who is faithful to the present.
Whatever it may be, for now I'm your wife,
so I will devote myself to that role.
So,
I hope you don't feel uncomfortable about me.
You don't get my meaning.
Is this situation fun to you, Nam Da Jeong?
Acting the wife and the husband,
is contractual marriage act fun for you?
Mr. Prime Minister...
I'm sorry to say, but it's not for me.
Therefore,
I hope you don't put on a behavior that crosses the line.
Yes, Chief Seo. I'm on my way.
Message.
I wish your quick recovery!
Ms. Nam Guk Jeong (Guk Jeong = worry in Korean, rhyming her name and making fun of accident prone Da Jeong)
These are the experts who'd participate as research panel members for the upcoming reevaluation
Academic and civic group,
and the environmental groups as well
will participate as much as they can.
For today's DF team meeting, I should get prepared tightly.
Um, Prime Minister,
I'm sorry but may I leave for 2 hours?
There's some work I need to handle.
You didn't have dinner yet, did you?
That's good.
Since you need to eat as well, you can go and come back.
I'll be back.
Yes, there's nothing to worry about.
I got everything ready.
Ah, I think that Poop Reporter is going to cause some big trouble today.
Da Jeong
Why... are you here?
You told me to come here.
I did?
Look at this.
You messaged me that something urgent happened to the Prime Minister.
That it's important.
When I looked at this I...
I've never sent anything like this.
What?
I think we are in a trap.
What about the reporters?
They're ready.
But why do you suddenly abandon the "Kang In Ho" card?
Just because. I changed my mind.
Let's go.
Kwon Yul, you dare to forget Na Young?
Never going to forgive you.
Chief Kang,
what are we supposed to do now?
What would be good?
First, we need to get out of here.
If I am right, there will be reporters coming soon.
Uhhi!
Oh...!
How about...
I'll give you a scoop.
C'mon!
Ah, what could it be?
What room number do you have?
This way.
Young kids...
Come this way.
Why are these ajummas here?
Chief Kang, I don't think we should leave together.
I'll take the stairs over here,
and you take the stairs on the other side.
I won't go anywhere without you.
Follow me.
Let's go through the other way.
Who is this?
It's Madame Nam Da Jeong!
Ah!
Wow~
It is you!
But who is this?
It's the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff!
I didn't know I would see you here!
What are you doing here?
Who's the person you came to meet here?
I really didn't know I would meet you here.
You two, at this late night,
at a hotel?
The Prime Minister's wife came to meet someone here.
Oh, she had an appointment with someone.
Not in a coffee shop, but in a room?
Now tell me.
Who is the person
you had to meet in a hotel room?
That..
Stay still. You don't have to say anything.
You are Reporter Byun Woo Chul, right?
Do you know how rude you are being right now?
Just answer my questions!
Who was the person
that she had to see at a hotel at this time?
It was the Prime Minister.
Ha.
What are you people doing here?
I told her to come here for our 100 day wedding anniversary.
Is there a problem with that?
Do we really have to tell these things to you?
What were you trying to find out?
Chief Kang, good work today. You can go now.
Let's go.
Hey, Reporter Byun,
do you think Prime Minister's wedding anniversary is a scoop for the political department?
We're not Scandal News!
What are we doing here and looking stupid?
He so lost his sense.
Aw... Is he crazy?
What's going on?
Chief Kang.
Did you meet the Prime Minister?
How did you know to come here?
Reporter Park Ki Chul from Scandal News told me.
I think you need to explain what is going on.
Chief Kang!
Chief Kang told me that something urgent came up with you,
so that's why I came.
But, he said we were in a trap,
so we were trying to leave, and then we met the reporters, and...
Stop.
I think I know what's happening.
So stop now.
Prime Minister.
Did I do something wrong again?
Did I make a mistake today?
So did I put you in a trouble?
You didn't.
I'm just...
Got tired of this whole situation and bothered.
You're just too much.
When I was surrounded by the reporters,
I was thinking what if I put you in a trouble or
what if I damage you.
Those thoughts made me so distressed and painful.
Stop now.
But you're just
tired and it bugs you.
Nam Da Jeong.
I told you to stop.
I don't want to.
Why does everything have to be your way?
I need to say what I have to say.
You think everything is my fault.
That's why you're mad!
If you dislike and displease with me that much...
♫ I walked alone ♫
♫ Following your footsteps ♫
♫ This road we walked together ♫
♫ Lightened my heart ♫
♫ Can you come here ♫
♫ One step closer ♫
♫ More far away you were ♫
♫ More come close into my heart ♫
Is Prime Minister inside?
I'm here for Prime Minister, not Nam Da Jang.
Why should I listen to you?
Tell me your private story that you couldn't tell me.
I didn't think you should do a report of marriage, but I think you have to do it now.
Did you say this Saturday is the hundredth day we've been married?
I'll sing this song for my wife.
Can we just go back where we were before?
No, I don't want to be your friend.
Seo Hye Ju, why are you acting like this?
If I come to you, you said you'd drop all these.
I'll confess to you with everything I have.
Please be my woman.
