All About Marriage
Enjoy:)
Episode 18
Jeongim, tell me.
You can trust me.
What's going on between you and Taeho?
Nothing's going on.
Don't deny it.
Do you know how your face looks these days?
You looked so radiant when Taeho became a Professor.
Do you know how you look lately?
Like you've been given the death sentence.
You look like you've got a heavy load on your back.
Tell me, come on.
I'll solve your problems.
Tell me.
Is he cheating on you? Is that it?
Come with me, quickly.
Stop it, Aeran. Don't act this way.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Come on, let's go.
Go where?
You have to argue about this in the initial stages.
You don't know anything, do you?
He didn't cheat on me.
So what if he didn't sleep with her?
He's shaken up, he doesn't like you.
That's cheating too.
They can sleep with each other any time if they like each other.
You have to stop this before they get more involved.
How do I stop it?
Do whatever you can.
See a fortune teller or get a charm.
Or tell everyone at the TV station.
Don't do that.
If you can't do it, I'll help you.
Don't!
Do you know what makes me really angry?
I'm angry because I hate myself too.
I don't hate Taeho or Seoyeong.
I hate that I hate myself!
What do you mean?
You didn't do anything wrong.
I know.
What did I do to deserve this?
Aeran, please leave me alone.
Just stay out of this.
Father, did you sleep well?
What are you doing?
Exercising.
Do you want to work out with me?
You have a huge belly.
Mother, father should exercise.
I was just telling him.
I trained in judo.
I want to teach father.
You're pregnant. Did you forget?
No, mother.
I read in a book that you can still exercise when you're pregnant.
Don't. If you exercise too hard, there'll be trouble.
All right.
And don't dress like that.
Keep your stomach warm.
It's hot. My stomach's warm.
It isn't warm at all.
It is warm...
Okay, I'll get changed.
Mother, should I help you?
It's okay. Go inside and have breakfast.
I'll do it. You go inside.
Aigoo...
What are we doing with another person's precious daughter?
Inseon, why are you acting this way?
What do you mean?
Just let them marry or hire some men to bring her back.
Shouldn't we do something?
What's your plan?
You're really going to live your own life?
Have you given up on Dahye?
Why would I give up on her?
She's so determined.
She's trying to see if she can beat me.
The more forceful I am, the more she will resist.
That's what life is like.
So?
We'll just let her be.
We won't do anything?
That's right. Let's bet on it.
She'll be back within a month.
I know her better than anyone else in this world.
She won't last.
She just left because she was mad.
She'll come crawling back soon.
It's the same as when she was young.
I bought her a toy, she couldn't play with it longer than 2 days.
Piano, art, dance.
She didn't attend any of those for over a month.
She gave everything up because she couldn't hang in there.
That's because you forced her to do all those things.
She didn't want to do it...
Is that what you think?
Do you think she can put up with married life and her in-laws?
Just wait and see.
She'll be back soon.
I'll make a bet if you like.
Mother, isn't it amazing?
Did you see the baby look at me before?
How can the baby look at you from inside your tummy?
It did look at me.
Mother, I can't believe it.
Me too.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm happy.
I should go and show Gangho right away.
- Gangho? - Yes.
He'll be happy to see this photo.
Mother, you go home first.
Hey, don't run! Be careful!
Okay!
Goodbye.
Here's the gimchi.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Sorry about that.
He just started work. Sorry.
That's no excuse.
Get away from me.
Don't wipe me with that!
Sorry. We'll pay for your dry-cleaning expenses.
Let's go.
You should use your eyes to see where you're going.
I'm sorry.
You always say you're sorry.
How many times has it been already?
Do you want to be fired?
If this ever happens again, you're out of here.
Don't you think you're being a little harsh?!
Dahye...
How would you like it if someone said that to you?
Who's she?
Let's go, Dahye.
Wait a minute.
What did he do that's so wrong?
Anyone could spill food.
Would you be pleased if someone scolded you like that?
Should I scold you then?!
Let's go.
Why are you working here?
Just quit.
Dahye...
Quit this job and work somewhere else!
I have nowhere else to go.
Don't come to my workplace from now on.
If I get fired, that's it for us.
I need this job to earn money
and face your mom and my parents.
If he fires me now,
I won't get paid for the work I've done until now.
Really?
Yes, I know it's unfair!
It's unfair, but I have to put up with it.
I'm sorry, Gangho.
Go home.
I'll see you later.
Sorry about earlier.
Please be nice to Gangho.
- Sorry. Sorry. - Sorry. Sorry.
It's a nice day today.
Yes, it is.
Did you know that next week's recording schedule has changed?
Yes, I heard already.
Professor Kim, you're still here?
Yes, I needed to see the Manager.
I see.
Did you two fight by any chance?
Why would we fight?
You've been acting like that all day.
No, we haven't.
Sorry, make room.
- Sorry. - Excuse me.
Bye then.
Okay.
- Goodbye. - See you later.
Yes, dad. what is it?
Are you free this afternoon?
I have something to do now,
but I'm free later.
Then come over here afterwards.
Is something wrong?
Taeho.
What are you doing here? Come inside.
Come inside. Come.
Come inside.
Jeongim, Taeho's here.
Our handsome Professor Kim is here.
I'm glad you're here. I really missed you.
You don't come here often.
I wanted to see you.
Oh, Taeho.
Jinseok.
Welcome, my dear husband.
Do you want to have lunch together?
The four of us haven't met up in years.
Let's go, quickly!
What about the shop?
We can sell rice cakes tomorrow, the day after...
It's not important.
I'll treat you.
How about eel?
Eel? you mean it?
Let's go outside. Let's talk outside.
Here, honey. Open wide. Ahhh...
What's wrong with you?
I always do this.
Honey, eat up.
Eat lots of eel and get strong, so we can have another baby.
Being cool and relaxed is one of Jeongim's traits, tight?
Taeho. Taeho-oppa...
- Yeah. - When she was in high school,
you fell for her honest character.
Love at first sight, right?
Isn't that right?
Huh?
Taeho's ideal woman is a strong woman like her, right?
Is that so?
Why did you pinch me?
I never pinched you. I was just trying to catch a mosquito.
You're so slow to catch on...
Sorry, Aeran.
I have to go.
Why? Stay longer.
I'm going to go as well.
See you next time.
Geez!
What's wrong with them?
Why are they so awkward?
The eel here is great!
*also called Korean black raspberry.
How about another bottle of rubus coreanus* wine.
Stop eating, you pig!
That hurts. What's wrong with you?
Let's go somewhere to talk.
I have to go and work.
Aeran can look after the shop.
- Let's get a cup of coffee. - I don't have anything to say.
I do.
Why won't you look at me?
Do you hate me that much?
I don't hate you.
I'm just sad.
I'm just sad about why we ended up this way.
Don't feel sad.
We can solve this.
Solve what? There's nothing left between us now.
Taeho, do you ever feel nervous around me?
Married couples aren't like that.
Then, do you live with me because I cook and do your laundry?
That's part of the reason.
You don't feel nervous around me either.
We've seen each other yawn,
burp and fart for years.
Why would we feel nervous?
Other couples may not feel nervous, but they don't live like we do.
Other couples don't talk about it,
but they all live like us. Out of loyalty.
- Loyalty? - Yes, Loyalty.
If they have a child, they live out of responsibility too.
We don't have a child and our loyalty has collapsed.
Our loyalty hasn't collapsed.
We can renew it.
Why bother? Because getting divorced will make you lose everything?
Because it will shake up your reputation and status?
Or because of your parents? Because they'll get hurt?
That's part of it, sure.
But, do I really look that narrow-minded to you?
If I really didn't like you, I would divorce you.
So?
I live with you because I love you.
It's not that I don't love you.
Then what about Yun Seoyeong?
You love her too.
That's a different type of love.
What?
So you love me and Yun Seoyeong too?
Is that it?
Jeongim, humans aren't meant to love just one person.
That's what humans are like.
Marriage doesn't mean you can't love.
That sort of thinking restricts us.
That's why single partner families are a problem.
It's an inhumane restriction created to preserve our species.
Listen to me.
Do you know how many marriage systems existed through history?
But we live as though the current system is correct.
We're educated, that marriage shouldn't be broken.
We're educated to scorn people for adultery. That's life.
That's the sad reality.
You could end up killing another man too.
Can you guarantee that it won't happen?
You can't.
Will you get divorced every time?
Aeran likes Jihu.
Does that mean she should get divorced?
That's not the same.
Why is it different?
You're not flexible. That's your flaw.
What?
It's also your good point too.
Anyway, we need to let each other live more freely.
How about, if the two of us start over now?
I'll work to support your self-improvement.
Let's provide the perfect model
of a healthy married life.
What do you want to do then?
You want to date Seoyeong and live with me?
I don't mean that I want to date another woman.
You make it sound so simple.
Don't be ridiculous!
Don't get angry at me again.
I can't have a conversation with you.
Jeongim, I want you to be free too.
Let's be real companions.
You'll be free from me.
I'll be free from you...
You rotten man!
Rotten man, fool, selfish man!
Jeongim...
Jeongim!
Let go!
You said so yourself.
Let's live our own lives.
You told me that.
Why are you getting so mad?
If I'm wrong, present your argument
and suggest an alternative.
You'll be the only one who's happy.
Why would I be the only one?
Don't just get angry. Let's talk it out rationally.
Talk all you want, with Yun Seoyeong.
Seoyeong again?
This has nothing to do with her!
I'm really mad right now.
If you push me off the edge, I don't know what I might do.
I'm not a sophisticated person like you.
I think a man should marry a woman and give up on romance.
I don't feel nervous around you either.
But, I try to look for other good points about you.
Isn't it proper to do that?
That's so old-fashioned and inhumane.
Who cares about being proper? We should live naturally.
I have a higher social status. That's the real problem.
You're more successful?
So I'm more attached to you?
That's why I want you to work on improving yourself. I'll help you.
Self-improvement?
You made me work hard when you needed my support.
How can you tell me to improve myself now?
- Watch how you speak to me! - You're right!
I know I'm at fault too.
That's why I'm ashamed and so upset. I told you that.
I'm in a bad mood right now.
Leave me alone.
If you keep talking,
I might take my clothes off and lie down here.
What?
They may print an article saying that
Professor Kim Taeho's wife ran around naked.
What?! What did he say?!
He loves me...
and her as well.
What sort of nonsense is that?
There's no such thing.
He says there is.
Let's go meet her right now.
You have to settle this.
Do something before things get really bad.
What's the matter.
Are you feeling ill?
Sorry, Aeran.
I need to go home.
Okay, go and rest.
Your face is yellow. It's abnormal.
Aigoo... You're burning up.
Did you work too hard?
Why are you sick?
You should go to see a doctor. Let's go.
It's okay, dad.
I just need a nap.
Dad, I'm going to sleep.
Go to work.
Dad, I'm thirsty.
Are you?
Joon, should we go and get some ice cream?
I'll go get some. You stay here with dad.
Why? Let's go together.
It's okay. I'll go alone and choose the ones I want.
Dad, stay here and talk to Miss Kim.
What?
I have money.
Gramps gave me pocket money earlier.
I'll go buy some.
It'll be my gift to you two.
Joon...
I'll be back soon.
Wait.
I felt funny when you
asked me to come today.
You were so mean to me.
Can't you see how happy Joon is?
Was it because of Joon?
Yes.
You win.
Miss Kim...
you're pretty.
Your face is pretty
and so is your heart.
I told you it was because of
your pride, but I was flattered.
I...
started liking you because you hurt my pride.
I started off thinking that I would make you fall.
But, it's not like that now.
This may sound funny, but
I'm following my heart.
I'm going to see where this takes me.
I'll go with the flow.
I know you don't really like me very much anyway.
I'm going to see what happens.
Even if you dump me.
I've changed.
Why?
I don't know.
I don't know...
what's happened to me.
Is this out of pride too?
It sure is.
We're not suitable for each other.
I know.
You've already told me that several times.
You're a single parent and I'm...
your son's teacher, right?
You're going to tell me that I'm not your type.
Aren't you sick of saying that?
It's so hot.
Why is Joon taking so long?
You're right...
I'll go.
I'll go with you.
Excuse me... Joon...
Have you seen a little boy around this tall?
Sorry.
You go that way. I'll search this way.
Okay.
Joon!
Joon...!
Joon!
Joon...!
Joon!
Dad!
What are you doing here?
You didn't tell me that you were going to the arcade.
I left so you and Miss Kim
could talk to each other.
What?
Don't get mad at me.
You always seem to get so mad at Miss Kim.
I wanted you to be friends.
That's why...
I never did that.
How could you just leave without telling me?
I'm sorry.
I was so worried about you.
Joon!
We were so worried.
Don't cry. It's okay.
It's all right. We found you.
Did you run around on bare feet?
Ah... Goodness.
I wore new shoes today to look nice.
Joon, let's go eat ice cream.
I'm so thirsty.
Okay, Miss Kim.
Joon must've been exhausted.
Isn't he heavy?
Do you want me to carry him?
You want to carry him wearing those shoes?
Are your feet okay?
Don't they hurt?
My feet are fine.
Miss Kim.
Yes?
This is the reality that we face.
Even if you can overcome everything else.
You can't wear fancy shoes if you go out with me.
That's the reality.
The harsh reality.
Try to think objectively.
Thank you for being so interested in Joon and myself.
I'm a twisted man.
I think I misunderstood your gestures of kindness.
I'm sorry.
You're being so serious al of a sudden.
Aren't I allowed to be serious?
You're not leaving me any room to do anything more.
Joon, are you awake?
Goodbye, Miss Kim.
Okay. Bye.
Who's he?
D.. Dad.
Who is he?
A parent.
A parent?
What?
I called that lawyer today.
He said we should be thankful
he didn't sue you for compensation.
Why did you call him?
I was going to argue with him, but he told me off instead.
What did you do to him?
Tell me the truth.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Tell me.
I didn't like the way he talked about compensation.
You didn't do anything wrong?
Why would I do something wrong?
Can't you just take my side and listen to me?
He has a good job and comes from a good family. You said so yourself.
No one is totally compatible from the beginning.
Do you think there's a man who will cater to your weird personality?
Is his job, his looks and his family that important to you?
What do you mean?
None of that matters to me.
I'm not going to marry to cater to your standards.
Sorry, dad.
I'm tired, so I'm reckless with my words.
I need to rest.
What's wrong with our children?
They treat dirt under fingernails with more respect than me.
How did you educate the children?!
Why didn't you tell me that you broke up with him?
I didn't get a chance.
Everyone's too busy with Gangho.
I'm glad you broke up with him.
Huh?
I knew you didn't like him from the beginning.
It's better than marrying him then getting divorced.
We didn't even meet his parents.
Lots of couples break up like that.
Mom, what's wrong with you?
Shouldn't you scold me?
Just live alone and don't marry.
Huh?
Why get married? I'd live alone if I were you.
You're successful. Why get married and fight all the time?
If I could turn back time,
I wouldn't get married.
Especially if I had a good job like you.
Mom, why are you acting so strange?
Yes. I am acting strange lately.
Did you break up with him over another man?
Is that what happened?
No, it's not like that...
But I'm really confused, mom.
I don't know how I feel.
How did I end up like this?
Mom, I'm going to get changed and wash up.
I'll tell you everything
once it's settled.
Enjoy it, ladies.
I'm growing fond of you,
but it's not going to work.
How's Dahye doing?
She's fine.
It's okay. You eat it all.
I don't want to move from this position.
I heard Dahye's pregnant.
Stop it. That's a secret.
It's not a secret. Everyone knows.
The whole neighborhood knows.
Dr. Song.
You guys can go.
Goodbye, mother.
Have a pleasant evening.
Ladies, you worked hard today.
Flowers don't blossom from a dead plant. Trust me.
Mom, how are you?
Don't drink by yourself and make sure you eat well.
I went to the gynecologist today.
The baby's healthy and
Gangho is working hard.
Everyone's nice to me.
You don't have to worry.
Foolish girl.
You don't give up, do you?
Dahye!
Did you have a good day?
Gangho...
Did our baby have a good day too?
Yes, of course.
Were you upset earlier?
I wasn't upset. I was the one who made a mistake.
You didn't make a mistake.
I'm sorry.
For what?
Everything. I'm sorry about everything.
I'm the one who's sorry.
Ta-da!
What is it?
I don't have enough money right now.
This is all I can afford.
But in my heart, I want to buy you a 100 carat diamond.
It's so pretty.
I'll make sure mother gives us permission.
Let's hang in there until then.
Thanks.
What are you doing?
Do you know how cool you are?
Okay, all right. Stop it.
Maybe she's slightly off.
She has no shame.
She doesn't seem like she ran away from home.
They're a match made in heaven.
I tested their compatibility. That's what it said.
That they're perfect for each other.
When did you do that?
Inpyo... Don't worry about it.
What are you going to do now?
I have to dress up their bedroom.
They can't keep living like that.
The neighbors will talk.
If only Inseon would come to her senses.
She can think what she wants. I don't care about her.
I'm accepting Dahye because of my son.
Every time I think of that woman, I want to throw Dahye out.
I think Inseon's rich.
Once she comes around, it'll be lucky for Gangho.
Why don't you let go of your pride and go over again to beg?
If you're going to say that, just go home.
Come on!
Don't say that to me!
Do you want me to go over and beg again?
I'd be crazy if I went back there.
I won't do that just because she's rich.
That's not what I meant.
Gangho may not be smart, but I refuse to do that.
I'd rather that he lived on the streets.
I won't let him accept her help!
What's all the racket?
Why did you fall for a woman like her?!
What are you going on about?
What's so great about her that you wanted to kill yourself? Huh?!
What do you mean?
You came inside at a bad time.
Why am I having such bad luck this year?
Jeongim, get up. Have some porridge.
Here. Eat up.
Have some porridge, so you can gain strength.
Thanks, dad.
Can't you tell me what's wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
I told you already.
Having you cook for me
reminds me of the old days.
When I was in high school and had typhoid.
When I came home from the hospital,
you made porridge for me.
Did I?
Yes.
It was so delicious. I can still remember it.
You used to drive a truck
and travel for days.
But you still made porridge for me.
I was so touched.
Did I? I don't remember.
It was such a long time ago.
I didn't feel lonely back then...
even if I was alone for days.
I feel lonelier now. It's strange.
What's wrong with me?
I'm getting so sentimental.
- Eat up. - Yes.
Jeongim.
It... it's getting late. I have to go.
Dad, I'm going.
- Hello. - Hello.
Nice work, everyone.
Have you gotten in touch with Seonghyeok?
He called in.
His father's ill, so he went to the countryside.
Why didn't he say so?
I think... he was sad.
They've improved a lot.
Especially Junhyeok. He's great.
Really?
Let's see it then.
From the top, come on!
You upset me for 5 years
over Hyeonuk.
This is even worse.
Why Professor Kim of all people?
How could rumors spread between
you and a married man?
I do have feelings for him.
What?
Just feelings, that's all.
I'm not going out with him. It's just how I feel.
What's the difference?
You really are going out with him.
I've spent a lot of time with him,
so I've developed feelings.
Go on a blind date.
Dad!
Stop talking nonsense
and so as I say!
I'll set a date for next week.
I'm not getting married.
Seeing you and mom...
I have no illusions about marriage.
Why bother getting married if that's what married life is like?!
I won't ever get married! That's what I told myself!
How dare you!
Sorry, I'm going.
See you at home.
Hello, sir.
How's business going?
Is Jeongim okay?
Yes, Her fever's gone down.
Would you like some tea?
It's okay.
Sit down over here.
All right...
Tell me all that you know.
What do you mean?
About Jeongim.
Tell me what's going on with her.
I don't know anything.
I have a hunch already.
Don't lie to me and tell me
what's wrong with her lately.
Tell me right now!
I'm not a sophisticated person like you.
I think a man should marry a woman and give up on romance.
I don't feel nervous around you either.
But, I try to look for other good points about you.
Isn't it proper to do that?
Yes?
You're still here?
What brings you here?
I came here to see dad.
Your light was still on.
I see.
Want to take a walk?
Sure.
Taeho.
Yes?
Is our relationship what people say it is?
What do you mean?
You know, adultery.
Is that what our relationship is?
I don't know.
I didn't imagine that I would end up in this situation.
I used to gossip if a colleague was dating a married man,
I pretended that I understood,
but I criticized them too.
Who knew that I'd end up like this?
I just liked you, like a big brother.
I didn't know anything. All I did was like you.
I didn't know it would come this far.
What you said to me last time...
After I heard that, I was upset.
I really do like you.
It just helped me to confirm my feelings.
If those feelings are a crime...
If feelings alone are a crime...
I think...
I should stop here.
I...
don't want my feelings...
to hurt other people.
I don't want people to criticize me...
as well as you.
I think we should stop here.
I came to tell you that.
In the next life,
let's... go out.
We'll be a proper couple.
I'm going.
Seoyeong.
Father!
