All About Marriage
Episode 34
Gyeonghun!
Gyeonghun...
Mom...
Are you feeling okay?
Yes. I'm all right.
Do you want something to eat?
No. I don't feel like it.
What got you so upset and made you ill?
Do you think I'm ill because I got upset?
Sorry to make you concerned.
I made some porridge.
Come out and have some.
Okay.
You look familiar to me.
Hello.
What brings you here?
I thought you were never going to come back here.
I'll be going then.
Drive.
Excuse me?
Let's go somewhere and have some rice wine.
Excuse me?
Should I drive then?
No. Of course not.
Have a drink.
What are you doing?
Can't you even drink that in one go?
I can.
Call a driver later to drive your car.
Excuse me?
If a taxi driver calls a driver, who is supposed to pay?
Excuse me?
That's really confusing.
Be a man. Don't just stand around outside a woman's home.
I wasn't just standing around.
You were. I saw you!
That's not true.
What were you doing then?
Why were you standing there lost?
Were you taking a look at our house?
No.
Is that all you have to say?
No.
You're annoying me.
Don't fancy my daughter.
Don't look over our fence.
You look like a man, but you're just a girl on the inside.
My bowl is empty. Come on!
Yes...
Nam Jeongim's album
It's your first album.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Nam Jeongim's album.
Do you like the title?
Yes. I like it.
Let's put a photo on it next time.
Don't make fun of me.
I've repaid my debt to you now.
You were never in debt.
I'm the one who's in debt.
Is that right?
I shouldn't have bothered then.
Give it back.
You can't do that.
I said thank you.
Tell me if you need more.
I can make more copies.
It's okay. One's plenty.
That's all I need.
Thank you.
Dad!
Hello.
Hi. Are you feeling better?
Yes. I'm all better now.
That's good to hear.
Hello.
Hi, Dad.
Have you had dinner?
I bought lots of food.
Did you go to the wedding?
Huh?
You mean Gangho's wedding?
Yes. I went there.
Are you in-laws doing well?
Yes.
Dad.
Surprise! Guess what this is?
What is it?
I released an album.
An album?
I'm a singer!
What are you talking about?
Are you really a singer?
I am. It's true.
What kind of nonsense is this?
I recorded a few children's songs that I like.
I recorded it at a proper studio.
A studio where real singers sing.
Why did you do that?
I have contacts.
Do you want to listen to it?
Joon. Do you want to listen?
Yes, please.
Where's the CD player?
It's broken.
Really?
Why did you sing children's songs?
You don't even have a child.
Do I have to have a child to sing them.
I'm going to sing them to my baby once I have one.
Sorry. That was a lame joke.
If I was 10 years younger, my life would be totally different.
Don't say that.
If that was the case, I wouldn't feel sorry every time I see you.
I'm hungry. Dad, I'll make you something delicious.
Joon, what do you want to eat?
Spicy rice cakes.
Spicy rice cakes! I'm great at that!
I'll make sure it's good.
Okay.
When Yeonho was young...
She used to come 1st in all the essay contests.
1st in all the drawing contests...
She was always class president.
She overtook all the boys.
She seems the type.
She was the tallest and prettiest girl in school too.
Right.
Advertising companies came.
They said she was pretty and wanted her to star in their ads.
I said I couldn't do that to my only daughter. I refused.
Did that really happen?
No. It's a lie.
That's the sort of girl Yeonho is.
Yes...
Then tell me how you will be good to my daughter.
If I like your suggestion, I'll reconsider.
Firstly, I...
Tell me.
Firstly to Yeonho and you...
Father, be careful.
I'm tired.
Sunok, prepare the blankets.
I want to sleep.
Father. Wake up.
Where am I?
You should go home.
Okay.
Please get up.
No!
Get up, Father.
You thief!
This way...
You thief!
Watch out.
Hello? Who are you?
You look familiar to me.
What happened to him?
He had a bit too much to drink.
Hey, you...
Yes...
Be careful.
Where did you drink so much?
What happened?
Sit down.
It's all right. I should go now.
Aren't you going to see Yeonho?
Go and meet her. She's in bed.
She's feeling ill.
Thank you.
I'll bring out some tea.
Her room's that way.
Yes?
How did you know?
Are you feeling better?
What brings you here?
Are you ill?
No. I'm okay.
I heard you didn't go to school.
I was worried, so I came.
I'm not ill. Go now.
You told me you wanted to break up.
After I said I didn't want to see you, you come running here.
Why do you keep changing your mind?
You're right. I keep changing.
I came to apologize.
I was narrow-minded. I was foolish.
Everything you said was correct.
I act like I'm good, like I'm noble.
I put on a front, but then keep changing my mind.
Everything you said is right.
I'm embarrassed and sorry.
I came to apologize.
Get better quickly. Don't be sick.
I'm going now.
Don't go!
If you're going to leave that quickly, why did you bother coming?
Excuse me?
What I mean is...
How can you be so cold and desert a sick person?
Excuse me?
Come inside so we can talk.
Yeonho...
Come inside.
No, I should go tonight.
Go in and rest.
You're not going anywhere.
Stop it.
Mom...
I'm sorry.
Were you just acting sick?
No, Mom.
Then why are you so strong?
Come and have some tea.
Excuse me?
No one can stop my daughter.
I've already surrendered to her.
Mom...
Thank you for liking Yeonho.
Mom...
Mom, thanks!
I'll be good.
Mom...
Thank you so much.
I'll be good. I mean it.
Thank you, Mother.
Application for Divorce
Go inside.
Dad.
What is it?
Come inside and have a cup of tea.
I have to go earn money.
I want to tell you something.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
What do you have to tell me?
I'm going to break up with Taeho.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Is this how things are going to end up?
I thought you moved out to prevent getting a divorce.
Was that just a lie?
I just observed your actions.
It's not like I can help you.
I was frustrated and nervous, but I trusted you and just observed.
This is really sad.
Is this how things are going to end?
Can't you give it one more try?
You can't forgive him?
The person that I can't forgive is myself.
Taeho's not the problem.
I... I can't forgive myself.
I feel so small in front of Taeho.
I don't think that I suit him.
I don't have the courage to tolerate myself anymore.
I'm sorry, Dad.
Thanks. I didn't think you'd come out.
I didn't want to. I wasn't going to come out, but I'm here.
Why didn't you want to come out?
Why are you so serious?
Life's meant to be easy.
Just think simply.
A human loving another human...
What do you think about that?
Do you really think a human can love someone besides himself?
If someone likes you, you like them.
If they dislike you, you dislike them.
That's what humans are like.
You're talking ambiguously again.
Answer me.
Eternal love, eternal promises...
Do you believe in that?
It could exist.
What do you think about falling in love at first sight then?
We just convince ourselves when it's required.
Fate doesn't exist. That's nonsense.
Did you fall in love with your wife at first sight?
Huh?
Don't just laugh. Answer me.
Love at first sight... I think so.
But now I'm totally sick of her.
She drives me crazy.
She's so cold-hearted.
She gives me a headache.
Nam Jeongim. Geez...
She's dumb and frustrating.
I can't talk to her. It's crazy.
Why does she give me such a hard time?
I thought you moved out to prevent getting a divorce.
Was that just a lie?
Can't you give it one more try?
Nam Jeongim...
Nam Jeongim.
Taeho!
Taeho, get up.
Hello, Jeongim.
Seoyeong.
Taeho's drunk right now, so I picked up the phone.
I'll tell him to call you when he gets up.
No. It's all right.
I'll call back later.
Okay.
Thanks, Seoyeong.
Careful going inside.
Goodbye.
Are you okay?
I'm Taeho's mother.
Hello.
Did he drink a lot?
Yes.
Thank you.
Goodbye then.
I want to talk to you.
Later.
Where's your car?
Why did she give you a ride?
I left it at school.
Did you drink alone with her?
What do you think you're doing?
Goodness. You fool!
Mom. I have a headache.
I have a headache too!
Same here! I'm going crazy too!
I'm going crazy. Just leave me alone.
Like father, like son...
My wife
Yes?
Did you call me last night?
Yes.
Did we talk on the phone?
I was drunk. I don't remember anything.
You said you'd prepare the papers, but you didn't call me.
I was going to call you.
Today, tomorrow...
Whenever you're free.
I'll tell my parents.
Make sure you don't call my mom.
Don't ask her to take your side.
All right.
When are you free?
I'll message you to let you know.
Okay. See you at court.
Mom, I'm going.
Are you all better now?
Are you that happy?
Thanks, Mom.
For what?
Thanks for accepting him.
I haven't accepted him.
All I said was that I surrendered to your pestering.
Don't fool yourself into thinking that I've accepted him.
I'm keeping my eyes on you.
Mom, about him...
What about him?
His parents are alive.
There was a misunderstanding, so they didn't keep in touch.
They're both in the States.
What do you mean by that?
I'm still confused too.
I'm not sure yet.
But it's a good thing that they're alive, right?
I'll tell you the details later when I know.
I'm really confused right now too.
I'm going then.
I'll take it.
Mom, let's go.
Okay.
This is all for you, Joon.
Why don't you try this on?
This one's nice too.
How about this one?
No. This one looks best on you.
Joon... You look good in everything.
Mom, look at it.
It doesn't suit him at all.
You're making him into a clown.
What? Clown?
He looks so vibrant.
You look like a prince in this.
Dad!
He's angry again.
Gyeonghun...
I'm sorry, Gyeonghun.
I know you'd be mad, but I couldn't help coming here.
Can't you try to understand how I feel?
I'm going soon. I just stopped by.
Come inside. Let's talk.
Should we?
Mom...
Gyeonghun.
I was so nervous coming here.
I knew you'd shout and get mad.
I was so scared.
I'm so happy that you're not shouting at me.
Don't you understand how I feel?
Of course I understand.
But I want you to know that I'm not to blame.
Mom!
After you disappeared...
Do you know how hard it was for your father and myself?
It wasn't like living at all.
We never even ate a single meal in peace.
Do you still think that Joon's mother died because of me?
Gyeonghun. That's not true.
I did my best.
Put your hand on your heart and think hard about it.
Did you really do your best?
Okay. I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
It's all because of me.
Think whatever you want.
I don't care.
I can take all the blame as long as you come back to us.
Blame?
No, I didn't mean that.
Gyeonghun, I'm sorry. Please...
Please forgive me now.
I'm begging you!
Mom.
I was wrong. Forgive me for what happened to Joon's mother.
I'm not the person I used to be.
I've changed. I'll do whatever you tell me to from now on.
Stop it. Get up.
I mean it. I swear. I promise.
Gyeonghun, let's start over.
Let's forget about the past.
Come on, Gyeonghun.
Gyeonghun...
Gyeonghun!
What are you doing?
Let's go home.
Home?
To your house. Your parents are waiting for us.
You want to go home now?
Without telling mother?
Let's go without telling mom.
Why?
She won't let us go.
She'll tell us to stay a few more days.
I'm fine now.
Why don't we just stay a few more days?
Mother's lonely by herself.
What are you saying?
We have to visit your parents after coming back from our honeymoon.
You have a point.
Hurry and pack your things.
I'm treating you all today to say thanks for Dahye's wedding.
Eat as much as you want.
Cakes, sandwiches.
Order anything you want!
This place is really nice.
You're so trendy, knowing places like this.
I thought only young people ate waffles.
I'm young!
You're spitting on me.
Do you know that you spit when you laugh?
If you keep doing that, men will run away from you.
Nurse Yong doesn't spit.
Goodness... You women are so cruel to each other.
Why do you keep protecting Nurse Yong lately?
Do you like her by any chance?
Stop it!
Perhaps...
No thanks. You're not my type.
Don't say that. What's wrong with me?
Jongnam... I mean in-law.
I thought you were busy.
Aren't you going?
Yes... I should go.
Be good to Dahye.
Don't be mean to her because you're her aunt-in-law.
I've never heard of someone being a mean aunt-in-law.
It's a good thing that you didn't get married.
If she had a son, she'd be a mean mother-in-law.
That's true.
Don't you agree?
Imagine if she had a daughter just like her.
I'm going.
Already?
You told me to go.
What is all this?
Gifts for Dahye's in-laws.
You bought so much.
You're just out to show them how good you are.
Don't say that. Carry them for me.
Are you going to send them to Gangho's today then?
Already? Dahye's a patient.
She has to stay a few more days.
I'm just going to send the gifts.
She can't even move.
She should be hospitalized.
Give me the heavy stuff first, so I can carry it all.
Dahye!
Dahye, we're home.
Mom, I'm going to Gangho's house.
Sorry for not saying goodbye.
I'll come visit soon. Take care.
That rotten girl...
How can she leave without saying a word?
Who does she think she is?
Get over it. She probably felt bad about her in-laws.
What does she have to feel bad about?
She's sick. She's a patient.
She's not sick. Her legs just swelled up from walking.
Hey!
Why didn't you tell us that you were coming?
Father, Mother. We had a good time.
Good. My youngest daughter-in-law is so pretty.
Sorry you had to cut your honeymoon short.
It's okay, Mother.
After we have the baby, we'll take a proper trip.
With the baby.
Okay. Do that.
Don't fight and lead a good life.
Earn money quickly, so you can move out of here.
Don't think of living here for a long time. I'm broke.
Yes, Dad.
Yes, Father.
Make sure you visit your mother often.
Take care so that your mother doesn't feel lonely.
Yes, Dad.
Yes, Father.
Your mother must be sad.
No. She told me to make sure that I'm good to you.
Really? Let's try to get along then.
You must be hungry.
Wash up so that we can eat.
Yes, Mom.
Yes, Mother.
Come on. Let's go.
We should...
You're so frigid.
Let's be nice to each other.
Don't be so frigid.
I can't believe it.
Believe what?
We're really married now.
Did you think we were getting married for fake then?
We're married. We're married!
We're really married, right?
Yes.
Stop it.
Come here, my husband.
Don't do that. Stop it.
Gangho, Gangho...
I mean husband, honey.
That tickles!
My lovely husband. I love you!
Mother.
You should've brought your bags up.
Oh. I forgot...
I'm not coming back up. Rest.
How embarrassing!
Ouch! Stop it!
Stop it.
No one's looking.
What if someone sees?
Who cares? We're married.
Gangho!
Mother!
Now that you work elsewhere, it's so hard to meet up.
I know.
Are you going to keep living like this?
Huh?
Are you going to keep living alone upstairs?
What about Taeho?
Are things still the same?
Aeran, I...
I'm going to get divorced.
What? Really?
Yes.
I'm not going to waste any more energy on Taeho.
I clung on to him until now.
But that made a fool out of me.
I think it's better to end it.
Have you decided then?
Did he agree?
Yes.
Jeongim...
Aeran...
You can't. No way.
This is ridiculous!
Don't cry, Aeran.
Don't do it.
Just say sorry and live with him.
Why do you want to lead such a hard life?
Don't get divorced.
Divorce isn't as easy as it seems.
Don't do this to yourself.
Your life will be so hard.
I'm ready. I've made my decision.
Jeongim...
It's okay.
I've already been to hell and back.
I want to relax now.
Do you think it's going to be easy?
Think about it again, please.
Jeongim, please.
Have you been waiting long?
No. I just got here.
Did you have lunch?
I ate.
Really? We should've ate together.
We can eat together next time.
All right then.
The papers...
Yes.
I brought the papers that we wrote up last time.
Nothing's changed anyway.
Should we get up then?
This feels funny.
In a few moments, we're going to mean nothing to each other.
It's a real letdown.
Take care, Taeho.
Thanks for everything.
I don't just despise you.
I'm really grateful to you too.
Not all my memories are negative.
You've given me many happy memories as well.
I had many happy days.
My heart fluttered on many days too.
That's really precious.
I won't forget it.
I hope you will remember the good times we had.
Even if we meet someone else...
The time we spent together is special and meaningful.
I'm going to have a good life.
You take care too.
Do you have anything else to say?
Should we go then?
Jeongim.
Is there no hope for us?
None.
At least that's how I feel.
Okay.
All right then.
Okay.
I have no regrets then.
Should we shake hands?
Okay.
Thanks.
You were good to me.
My family and I owe you a lot.
Don't say that.
I don't want to burden you.
I hope we can be free from each other now.
Have a good life.
Okay. You too.
Like this?
Just a little bit.
Is there a party today?
Auntie, hello.
Wow. You look good in your hanbok.
They're going to bow to you later.
Great. That's why I came!
Auntie, will you pay us?
Aren't you a good wife?
What's all this for?
We're having a feast because the kids are here.
They came out of the blue. We didn't get a chance to eat together.
We're going to do that today.
I see.
It's a good thing I came then.
I was going to call you anyway.
Really? I'm so thankful!
Shouldn't we call Jeongim too?
I called her, but she didn't pick up.
I'll call again later.
Haven't you done this before?
It's not cooked. If you keep flipping, it just eats up oil.
Geez...
I see.
How are you going to manage all the housework?
It's her first time.
Don't be so harsh on her.
Where's Taeho?
He won't pick up.
He told me that he was coming home early.
Jeongim won't pick up either.
Let's just eat.
Wait.
Dahye and Gangho should say a few words.
Are we skipping speeches today?
Daughter-in-law, how do you feel about entering our home?
I love it!
Great. That's perfect.
Live a good life.
Don't do anything silly.
Don't worry about us.
Yeonho... I mean Sis.
Don't be mean to me.
I was never mean to you.
Yeonho's met her match at last.
You don't need to worry.
She's getting married soon.
Yeonho's not getting married.
She promised to live with me until she dies.
Don't get the wrong idea.
I never said yes.
Let her eat.
Yeonho might get sick again.
Dad.
Talk about it later.
Let's talk about it later.
Just eat.
Taeho!
You're home.
You didn't call. I thought you'd be home late.
Why are you lying down?
Come down and eat.
I don't feel like dinner.
Just leave me alone.
What's wrong? It's the first meal since Gangho got married.
Come down and eat.
Talk with them.
Taeho...
Taeho!
What are you doing?
Mom, I...
What? What's wrong?
I'm going away for a few days.
Away? Why?
I just need some fresh air.
What is it? Can't you tell me?
Taeho...
We split up.
I'm sorry.
Mom!
