Episode 48
Con artist! Liar!
Are you okay?
Those kids! Are you all right?
Come this way. Let's wash it off with water.
Rumors are going around that your husband's a famous professor.
I think the trainees are really mad.
They say you put on an act on the radio and cleaned here on purpose.
People are talking a lot.
You're no Susan Boyle...
You pretended to be pitiful...
The agency planned this as a marketing scheme...
There are so many rumors.
What will you do now?
Here.
It's okay.
Drink it.
Thank you.
People usually talk a lot when you become famous.
These things happen when you suddenly become successful.
Don't think too much about it.
People are dying to bring you down.
The tiniest flaw, and they're all pouncing on it.
People even make things up in this industry.
It's okay. Reveal the truth and everything will be fine.
Reveal the truth?
Yes. You divorced Kim Taeho.
People are just talking because they don't know that.
A professor's wife being Susan Boyle, being a cleaning lady.
They're saying it's all a show.
Can't a professor's wife sing?
People embraced you because you had a poor background.
You have to accept that.
You had a hard life, but were given the chance to sing.
That's your star appeal. That's why the public like you.
Of course they feel betrayed that you're a professor's wife.
Let's announce that you're divorced.
You don't need to take the blame.
If I reveal that, will I be able to remain popular?
Can you vouch for that?
Hello.
Yes, boss.
Has Nam Jeongim arrived?
Yes, we're at the studio.
Today's schedule is cancelled. Just come back.
What? Why is it cancelled?
Yes...
Jeongim.
Yes?
Today's schedule is cancelled.
They changed it suddenly. Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
A professor's wife pretends to be a cleaning lady.
There aren't any articles talking about it yet.
Anyway, rumors are spreading that she's Taeho's wife.
Why aren't there any rumors about them being divorced?
There aren't many people who know. We all kept quiet about it.
It should be made known then. Otherwise Jeongim will take the blame.
Has their divorce been made official?
Of course it has.
I didn't know people would be so sensitive about this.
Why is it such a big issue that Jeongim is Taeho's wife?
Then post some replies here about Jeongim being divorced.
Why should I?
Otherwise, people will blame her.
She may not be able to keep singing.
Why should I? They should speak for themselves.
What is her company doing?
Why aren't they taking care of this?
We're going to meet up with a few journalists.
Let's announce that you're divorced and face the issue head-on.
Wait...
What is it?
I don't want to meet them.
I don't want to announce myself that I'm divorced right now.
What do you mean? I'm not asking you to lie.
It's just that everything has become useless.
I'm adored as a cleaning lady, but hated as a professor's wife.
It's all silly.
You don't have time to be talking like this.
Don't be stubborn. Let's go.
I don't want to go. I'm not announcing my divorce.
I don't want to use that to get over this obstacle.
What do you mean? All you have to do is tell the truth.
No, I don't want to do that.
I don't care if you think I'm being stubborn or foolish.
That's what I want to do.
I'm sorry.
You're home. Good.
What is it?
Things are getting out of hand.
It's damaging your image. What will you do?
Why can't people just be happy about others' success?
You're going to get into big trouble at this rate.
What are you doing? Announce that you're divorced.
Tell them you divorced Taeho and reveal why as well.
Talk about how much he used to look down on you.
Tell those journalists what you went through to support him.
Take care of it quickly. Don't let people blame you.
Aeran.
What?
I'm really confused.
About what?
Do I really have to do that to solve this issue?
I can't do it.
What's wrong with it?
Are you worried about Taeho? Do you still care for him?
Why else should you pretend to be his wife?
I never said I wanted to pretend.
I don't want my marriage to be made into a joke.
I don't want people to talk about us being married or divorced.
I don't want to ruin his life so I can survive.
Are you out of your mind? You're about to be brought down.
There's no time to act easy-going or cocky.
I'm not being cocky.
You are too.
Why were you happy about being a singer then?
Why do you think people liked you?
That's what being famous is all about.
People talking about you. That's what being famous is.
You become successful taking those things on board, right?
Is that right?
Yes. You've taken advantage of that.
Don't be so condescending.
Why are you protecting Kim Taeho?
This is why I tell you that you're a fool.
Tell them right away that you're divorced.
I don't want to do that.
Nam Jeongim!
I don't' want to. Even if you say I'm a fool, I don't want to.
Good for you.
Jeongim.
Jeongim...
Nam Jeongim.
Did you get home all right day?
That day?
I must've been really drunk.
I hope I didn't make a mistake. I blacked out.
Don't' you remember what you said to me?
What did I say?
You really don't remember?
Did I say something?
Taeho...
Jeongim seems like she's going to be in a mess.
What?
People don't know you're divorced. They think she tricked them.
I'm worried more about you than her.
Will you be all right if she reveals that you're divorced?
Jeongim?
Of course she'll do that.
Her singing career depends on it.
Jeongim won't do that.
I'm asking because I'm curious. Answer me.
Do you want to get back together with Jeongim?
Do you regret breaking up?
Is that it?
I don't know.
You always run away like a coward.
Is that why you haven't announced your divorce?
What do you mean?
I always worry about you.
I worried what would happen to you if people know you're divorced.
But you're full of regret about breaking up with Jeongim.
Is that how I seem?
Yes, you do.
You call me out to comfort you when you need me.
You say you're happy that you're free from marriage.
But you act sad about your ex-wife. In front of me too.
How much longer do I have to be dragged around like this?
I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.
I know I'm contradictory and selfish too.
I don't know what to say.
Fine.
I don't want to talk as though I'm a victim.
I met you because I like you.
I admit that I wasn't totally honest either.
But I'm going to be honest from now on.
I don't want to think of you as just a friend anymore.
You should grow up too.
Be more responsible about your relationship about me.
I refuse to be your drinking buddy from now on.
You said you're tired. What are you doing this late?
There were some chives left over from making gimchi.
I'm making some pancakes.
We should have some rice wine with this.
Don't' drink that at night. You'll just get a pot belly.
You make pancakes, but won't let me drink rice wine.
That doesn't make sense.
It's for Dahye.
Just try a little bit of the edge.
You'll get fat.
Dahye's lost her appetite. Her belly's getting bigger.
But her face is so thin. That's why I made this.
Aren't you a wonderful mother-in-law?
Who is it?
What?
Goodness!
Geez.
Why are you sneaking around? Do you want some?
No, dad.
It's really good.
Hello.
Dahye.
Guess what this is?
What is it?
I bought fried chicken.
What about your parents?
I only bought a little. Eat it.
Can we eat alone?
You've lost your appetite lately. Eat it.
You have some too.
Okay.
Eat well so you can give birth easily.
Wow, it's good.
By the way, it's a mess.
What's a mess?
Jeongim...
What about her?
People know Taeho's her husband. She's in a real mess.
They're talking about how she lied about being like Susan Boyle.
What do you mean by that?
People are cursing her for hiding that she's a professor's wife.
Nothing about her being divorced?
No one mentioned that.
I guess they don't know yet.
What were you doing?
Nothing, mom.
Did you make pancakes?
It looks so good.
Yes. You said that you've lost your appetite.
I love this.
It looks delicious.
Don't eat so much before going to bed. You'll get sick.
It doesn't smell, right?
We didn't get caught, right?
It's pointless raising children.
Mother.
Weren't the pancakes any good?
Mother, try this.
No. You eat it.
I don't like fried foods.
Don't say that. Just have a bite.
It's okay. You eat it.
Mother, please. Just one bite.
Mother, what will we do?
About what?
I think Jeongim will have to give up singing.
What do you mean by that?
She fooled the entire country.
I curse her.
Taeho.
Are you asleep?
I'd like to talk to you.
I'm busy right now.
I'd like to discuss Nam Jeongim with you.
She has nothing to do with me now.
Why do you want to talk to me? Your company can take care of it.
Do you need my approval?
Must you act like such a coward?
What? A coward?
Yes.
Are you scared you'll be disadvantaged if people know you're divorced?
What?
In my eyes, it looks like you're trying to run away.
Let's talk briefly.
I said I want to talk to you.
Repeat what you just said.
Say it again!
Reveal your divorce.
What?
You announce it first.
Announce it yourself that you and Nam Jeongim are divorced.
Isn't that the right thing to do?
If I don't' want to?
Why not?
You don't want people to criticize you?
What?
If you're that afraid, how did you get divorced in the first place?
That's why I said you're a coward.
How dare you?
You don't know anything. How dare you say that?
What do you know? Don't tell me what to do!
Do you know how I feel? My thoughts?
Stop talking nonsense!
You use violence, not words. No wonder she divorced you.
What? How dare you?
What did you say? You conman.
What do you know about our marriage problems.
You're not married now. Just reveal the truth.
What? You sly little scoundrel.
Who did you call sly?
You...
This is your lucky day.
I'm letting this go because of your ex-wife.
Because she won't announce that she's divorced.
You hopeless fool.
Hey! Stop!
Am I hopeless?
Am I really hopeless?
Am I hopeless?
Thank you for your kindness.
Don't thank me. I'm grateful to you.
You talked to this lonely old man and ate meals with me too.
I'll be so sad to see you go.
Gramps, I'll visit often.
Yes, do that. Come often.
Take care of your health. Make sure you eat proper meals.
Don't worry.
I'll come by often.
Okay. Do that.
And be kind to your mother.
Be good to your wife once you get married.
I will.
I must be getting old.
My eyes get sore these days.
Are you crying?
Of course not.
Gramps...
Yes, Jun...
Goodbye. Make sure to stay healthy.
You too.
Okay.
Jun, do you like your room?
Yes, grandma.
I didn't sleep a wink last night.
I was thinking about how I should decorate your room.
I'm glad you like it.
Let's go to the playground.
Yes, aunt.
Since when have you been such a lovely aunt?
So you two can talk. Jun, let's go.
Thanks.
Okay!
How does it feel to be back home?
It's nice.
See? You should've come earlier.
I cried when I was fixing up your old room for Jun.
I had such mixed feelings.
Mom.
Yes, my son?
I'll be good to you from now. I want you to try too.
Goodness... What did I do?
Be good to Yeonho. That's all I ask of you.
Don't worry about it.
She's in a mess now that people know they're married.
They want to know why she kept it hidden.
They think she put on a show to become popular.
She's being cursed.
Mom, are you still feeling ill?
No.
I was just thinking about something.
Are you worried about something?
No. You have a lot to think about. Forget it.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
Did you ask them about the engagement party costs again?
They don't want us to pay.
I don't feel good about it.
I feel terrible. What should we do then?
Just be there on the day, mom.
Let's give it to them even if they don't want it.
Your father and I feel so bad.
Look into the costs. We'll give it to them.
Mom... It might be really expensive.
How expensive could it be? Just do it.
Have you fixed a time and location?
Yes.
Do you just have to do as his mother decides?
It's not easy being in-laws with rich people.
Mom...
I should be happy you're marrying into a good family.
But I feel so confused.
Is this some sort of inferiority complex?
It's not like that mom.
I felt most comfortable when Taeho got married.
Jeongim and I shopped for plates and our hanbok.
It's best if people of similar status meet.
No way. And she's not your daughter-in-law now.
Sorry, mom. My mistake.
No, I made the mistake.
Gez. She's such a fool!
Why won't she announce that she's divorced?
I don't know.
She was always a bit twisted, ever since we were kids.
Is she trying to protect Taeho?
Then she's a real fool.
Things are so difficult.
I'm going to tell everyone.
What?
I'll tell the journalists myself.
You shouldn't do that.
Why not?
She had such a hard life living as Kim Taeho's wife.
She lived with her in-laws and sold rice cakes... What?
Hello.
Hello, ma'am...
Is Jeongim home yet?
The lights are off.
Really? She's at home.
She must be asleep. She sleeps when she's stressed.
How's business?
It's going well.
Do you want some rice cakes?
No. See you next time.
All right. Goodbye.
Take care getting home.
Should I give her some rice cakes?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Were you asleep?
No. Isn't it cold outside?
Tea...
It's okay. Just sit down.
Did you have dinner?
Yes. Haven't you eaten yet?
I'll eat a little later.
Come and sit down.
How are you? How's father?
You must be really upset.
I heard that people know you're Taeho's wife.
Why didn't you tell them that you're divorced? Do that.
Mother...
Taeho has to face it.
You can't keep tricking everyone.
Whatever people say, just ignore if it it's not true.
You both need to learn how to do that.
All you have to do is sing.
Taeho will work harder too.
Tell people you're divorced and sing confidently.
Tell them you're no longer Taeho's wife.
Mother, I am Taeho's wife.
I may not be now, but that doesn't mean I wasn't in the past.
If my popularity depends on that..
I'd rather not be popular.
Jeongim...
I wish you'd just scold me.
If you scolded me and got mad...
I'd rather that you blamed me for getting Taeho in trouble.
I don't know why things have ended up this way.
People are so cruel and so am I. Everything is...
I know how you feel.
What happened to you?
I was happy that things were working out for you.
Why are things so messy?
This is my future daughter-in-law.
Wow. She's so beautiful.
Isn't she? She's so pretty. I didn't want to show her.
I don't want her face to get worn out.
You may say I'm boasting...
But I was so shocked when Gyeonghun brought such a beautiful lady.
She's not just pretty. She's an angel at heart.
She looks like it. You're so lucky.
Yes, I'm so happy that I can't sleep at night.
I wouldn't be able to find someone like her if I tried.
What do you do?
I teach children at school.
You're a teacher.
Yes. A school teacher.
She teaches them so well.
You're lucky. She's pretty and clever too.
Yes. She comes from a good family too.
Her father worked in the public office.
He was a commissioner, right?
Excuse me? No...
He was a commissioner. Her brother's a university professor.
No..
What?
She's grown up well from a good family.
You can tell, right?
Mother...
Yes.
Thank you.
Mother...
Yes?
My father.. He wasn't a commissioner.
He just worked at the local office.
The food here isn't as good as its reputation, right?
Yes...
Bag, please.
Thank you.
Mother, my father...
I know. It's just easier for me to tell them that.
They're all from good families.
It's tiring if they keep asking.
I'll take care of these things, so don't be concerned.
Your dress is so pretty. I love that color.
What brand is it?
Yeonho, did you have lunch with my mom's friends?
Yes, what about you? Finished unpacking?
Of course. I put Jun to bed. I'm about to go out.
Is Jun happy?
Yes.
Gyeonghun...
What is it?
I'm happy you went home.
I'm happy you're happy.
How was lunch? It wasn't tiring?
No. It was fun.
I'm glad it was fun. I thought you'd feel burdened.
No.
Thank you, Yeonho.
For what?
For being on good terms with mom.
What do you mean?
Good night then. I'll call tomorrow.
Okay, bye.
She has quite a temper.
Why?
I exaggerated about her father's job. She was really put off by that.
What did you exaggerate about?
I didn't.
I couldn't tell them that her family's poor.
Oh, Gyeonghun. Come here.
Is Jun asleep?
Yes.
About Yeonho... She's so pretty and kind.
All my friends kept complimenting her.
She's so polite to elders and knows the right time to speak.
Mom, did you spit on this?
What?
Isn't this yours?
Never mind.
Hey, Inseon!
You...
What? You scared I'll move in again?
Is Inpyo at home?
Don't talk about him.
Here...
What is it?
I bought some things for you.
Plates, rice bowls and cups. I told you I'd buy them for you.
Your plates are so old. There's nothing useful.
It's a gift.
Look how pretty it is.
Yes, it's pretty. Thanks.
Let's have a drink.
What?
I won't stick like a leech.
One drink and I'll be gone. Don't worry about it.
In the middle of the night?
We can't drink during the day.
Geez! Your voice is so loud. Just like your brother.
I'll set the table.
Cheers!
I was so jealous of you when we were young.
You were smart, pretty and rich.
You had everything.
Come on...
You wore a yellow angora sweater in high school.
You were choosing break at the bakery.
I was blown away. You seemed like you were from another planet.
Since then, I think of you whenever I see a yellow angora sweater.
When I sold clothes at Namdaemun market...
I had a huge supply of yellow angora sweaters.
I wore that every day.
The other shop owners said I looked like a little chicken.
Really?
Yes.
Isn't that funny?
But I never looked like you even though I wore that.
Men just think I'm scary. They don't see me as a woman.
Jongnam...
They just ask me for money.
They want me to work when they need someone strong.
I wore an angora sweater all my life, but they don't see me as a woman.
Hey...
You're really lucky.
You're radiant just the way you are.
Men walk past and look at you. No one looks at me.
No... You're right.
What?
Nothing.
It's true. You're still the same.
You're still so pretty. I'm so jealous.
No. It's all over for me.
What do I have? I have nothing.
I don't have a husband or good children.
I have nothing.
What's wrong with Dahye?
She's so pretty and smart.
That's not what you said.
It's true. She's pretty.
Everyone adores her at my brother's place.
No wonder you're upset.
Don't be so mad. Gangho is a good boy too.
Besides the fact he's family... He's really a good boy.
Let's have another drink.
Let's have a toast.
Cheers!
Inseon, you used to be a good singer, right?
No. I wasn't that good.
I have an idea! Play the piano and sing.
I don't want to.
Come on.
I want to hear you sing.
I don't want to. Stop it.
Get up.
Stop it.
I'm drunk. Let's just sing one song.
Stop it.
You're so weak.
Stop it.
You're heavy. My back hurts.
Hey...
It's so loud.
Song Inpyo!
Hey, sis...
How dare you come here?
How have you been?
Get out!
Geez...
I said go!
Sis, I...
Song Inpyo!
Hello.
Hey!
Hey, you!
My stomach... You'd better not move an inch.
You'd better not run. Stay here.
When will you grow up?
Don't' hit my head.
I thought she left. Did she come back?
She's going to live here with me.
What?
She's going to live here.
What? How is that possible?
Are you okay? Should I make hangover soup for you?
Jongnam, you're going to keep living here, right?
Until he snaps out of it and gets that money, please don't leave me. It's my wish.
Okay? Don't go.
Use Dahye's room from today.
What's wrong with you?
Ouch, my head.
I'm going to take a nap. Jongnam, thanks.
My head...
Wait!
She fooled the entire country. I curse her.
A professor's wife pretends to be a cleaning lady.
Yes?
How are you?
I'm fine.
Sorry for the lame greeting. Let's meet.
What? You mean this?
I just changed my style.
I'll make this short.
I know you don't like me. I won't keep you long.
Can't you take those off? It's irritating.
Okay. They're bothersome.
What's wrong with your eye?
Nothing. I fell on the stairs.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm ecstatic.
Why don't you reveal that we're divorced? Announce it.
Why do you care?
That will solve everything.
Why are you taking all the blame?
Are you worried about me?
I doubt it, but just in case, don't worry about me.
I'm okay. I wouldn't have gotten divorced otherwise.
You're not afraid?
Of course not.
People will make stories up about why we got divorced.
Aren't you scared?
Why should I be?
Who cares what others say?
Since when have you been so brave?
I've always been brave.
I looked down on you and I had eyes for another woman.
Tell them that's why you got divorced.
Tell them I'm a piece of trash.
I'm not a marriage specialist. I'm a divorce specialist.
Step all over me so I can never get up.
Are you crying?
Fine. I'll step on you.
But don't hate me even if that really happens.
Don't worry about it.
Don't be stubborn. I know you're scared inside.
I told you I'm fine.
Taeho.
Let's keep it a secret for now.
What?
I've made my decision.
I told you it's fine.
It's not because I'm worried about you. Don't misunderstand.
I don't want people to talk about us.
I don't want them to feel sorry for me. That's all.
Just tell people. Tell them everyone.
You could lose everything.
I can't do that. I don't want to use you to become successful.
Let's go. I'm sure you don't want to see me either.
Do you regret breaking up?
I don't know.
Is that why you haven't announced your divorce?
What do you mean?
I always worry about you.
I worried what would happen to you if people know you're divorced.
But you're full of regret about breaking up with Jeongim.
Jeongim...
Hello, Seoyeong.
How have you been?
Good. What's the matter?
I just thought of you. I haven't seen you in ages.
Are you busy these days?
Journalists are always busy.
How are you, Seoyeong? Any good news?
No. Same as usual.
I thought it was urgent, so I rushed to get here.
Do you know Nam Jeongim?
Nam Jeongim?
Yes.
People are talking about how she's Kim Taeho's wife.
I heard about her. The middle-aged singer.
People are making a real fool out of her.
You know Professor Kim Taeho...
That's right.
What is it?
You're always lying down.
I know. You use it as an excuse to avoid cooking.
No.
What are you so worried about?
Think positively and you won't catch a cold.
That's true.
Why are you always lying down?
Did you take flu medicine?
Jongdae.
Yes?
Jeongim...
What about her?
Just tell me.
Jeongim's in a difficult position.
She may have to quit singing.
What are you talking about?
It's a good thing if she quits.
Don't say that.
What did I say? I'm just telling you what I think.
That's good.
Why do I bother talking to you?
I'm really on the verge of starting to hate you.
Just take medicine if you're ill. Don't take it out on me.
Wait a minute. What do you mean?
Tell me about Jeongim.
Get up.
Get up and tell me.
Just tell people. Tell everyone. You could lose everything.
I can't do that. I don't want to use you to become successful.
I'm ruthless and I'm mean. Why shouldn't I be?
I'm about to lose everything. Do you know how I got here?
I worked so hard for it.
You only get a few chances in life.
I grew up under poor parents. I couldn't go abroad to study.
I could still be teaching casually.
I could've been doing that all my life.
But I was given a chance. I've become a professor.
My name is getting known.
Don't you know what a miracle that is? You know that.
So?
I have to protect everything that I've managed to earn.
Isn't that good for you too?
Professor Kim.
Yes?
I read the article.
I was going to call, but we had a meeting planned anyway.
Sorry to concern you.
Why didn't you make it public?
I felt troubled when I heard last time. Now things are getting sticky.
With your wife...
About us being married...
That's not true.
What?
We're divorced.
We broke up.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier.
I had it. I was a coward.
Well...
I'm going to tell a journalist that I know later.
I should fix up any misunderstandings.
I'm going to make it known that we're divorced.
That's what we're talking about. The article about you being divorced.
What?
It's already on the Internet.
What?
You didn't know?
I'm Nam Jeongim. Nam Jeongim.
Everything is up to you now.
I cry even when I smile. I'm lonely when I'm alone.
I can't love anyone. I live each day.
Yesterday, I cried a lot. Today my heart is choking.
Tomorrow will be less painful than now.
