- I want this everyday.- Me too.
Mom?
I thought you're coming tomorrow!
Did you go to your academies?
Yes…
They were going to order dinner againso I decided to cook for them.
You shouldn't have!
I'm sure you're busy enough with your family.
My husband's out, my kids ate an early dinner.I had more than enough time.
She's amazing, mom!
I didn't know you could makepizza and pasta at home!
It tastes better than restaurant ones!
I thought you'd be away tonight…
Well, yes.
But my husband got a callfrom the hospital…
He had an emergency patient to see.He's a doctor, so it happens.
I see…
Well since she's here, I better go.
Have dinner with us!
It's alright, I ate already.
Mom, this pizza tastes great!
- I'll make it again if you want.- You promise?
Please tell us the rest of your story too.It's so fun to hear!
I will next time.Enjoy then!
Mom, she used to be a nurse!
What's wrong with you kids!
How could you let a stranger in the house?
She's not a stranger.She's Eunmi's mom.
This is my kitchen!
How would you like it if I call Eunmito come study in your room while you're away?
I wouldn't mind that.
Forget it.
Did she touch my fridge?
Oh, that?I couldn't find ketchup in there.
So she cleaned it out and found it for me.
What's wrong with that woman?
Stop right there!
What!
Mom!
You know what?
I'll buy you the best pizza and pastain all of Gangnam.
I was enjoying that…
It'll taste a hundred timesbetter than this!
- Coming home now?- Oh, yes.
You must be tired.
Hm?
You probably don't know…
There's a path to the mountainbehind the apartment building.
It's great for walks.
I see… I bet it's important for youto stay healthy, as a doctor!
You probably get a lot of emergency calls too…
I guess.
I don't get that many emergency callsanymore though…
thanks to all the preventive medicine.
I see.
Cooking up a feast again?
It's the weekend.I wanted to make something special.
Your family is really lucky.
What a 'delicious' weekend they'll have!
I hope they do.
I know they will.
I loved your bulgogiand soy sauce beef.
I don't really get to eat home-cooked food.
If there's anything you want in particularlet me know.
I'll make it and share some.
Thank you for the thought!
- Have a good day.- See you again!
I'm home.
- Dad!- You're home!
Get ready to go study.I'll pick you up tonight.
I'll pick them up.I always do it on the weekends.
Hey Minkyung.Are you sure you don't need to study more?
Everyone else is getting ready for high school…
I'll ask around for good academies.
You should ask your smart friendshow to improve your skills.
Fine.
Hey…
Are you going somewhere?
Can we talk?
Nice shot!
Sorry for calling you outon the weekend.
No problem at all.I meant to come out anyway.
Did you?You should stop working so much.
Young men like you need fun!
Don't devote too much time to work.You'll regret it when you turn my age.
But what regret will I haveif I can be in your position by your age?
I'm telling you, these positions mean nothing.
I'm telling you right now…You should date women, not work!
Alright…
You know, about that promotion…
We've already picked a partner.
We're going to see the presentations…
but it probably won't changethe vice president's mind.
So BM is out of the question?
That's not what I said.
I said we'll see the presentations.
Don't you get it?
Bring number 5.
Hi!
Hello.
Will you tell everyoneto keep dinnertime free tomorrow?
- Tomorrow?- Yes.
But the presentation won't takeover two hours…
I think we'll be invited to dinner after.
I'm sure we'll end up drinking too.
I don't think that's fair.
- What?- Can't we stick to the presentation only?
What's wrong with you?
No, what's wrong with you?
What does that mean?
I'm saying, I don't wantso many of these 'dinners'.
Excuse me, I have a husbandand two kids waiting for me at home.
But for the company I'll have as many dinners…
And I'll pull as many all-nighters as it needs.
- I'll even work on weekends, like today.- Dinners are a part of this business.
Team 2 is doing finewithout any dinners.
What did you say?
You…!
Who taught you that kind of attitude?When did you become so rude?
You have something to say, then say it.How dare you compare?
I am saying it right now.
- I don't like how we're doing this.- Doing what?
Say it!Say exactly what you mean.
What's that face?You think you're the one putting up with me?
We shouldn't be doing sales!
Why are we pouring drinksand singing for our clients?
So you think I want topour drinks and sing?
Then why didn't you stop that man?
What's wrong with you?There are other people here…
Are you out of your mindscreaming like that at work?
What's wrong?You used to love that girl!
- Since when?- You called her your successor.
Whatever.
I've obviously been too nice to her.She's turned into a brat!
Now I have to get that cellphone ad back.You watch me!
Darn it!
Hey, going somewhere?
Oh, yeah.
I think I'll have noodles for lunch.No one's home to eat with me.
Your kids must be out too…
Yeah, okay then.
Did you say noodles?
Do you like noodles?
Oh wow, thank you.
It's nothing.I was making a bowl for myself anyway.
Well then, I won't turn it down.
I was thinking abouthaving cup noodles for lunch…
I feel like I'm being fed so well!
I mean, I actually love noodles.
These are meatballs to go with the noodles.
Meatballs?
Yeah, I wanted to make it look presentable.It's not for me, after all…
Noodles and meatballs!It's perfect.
This is the best.
How lucky is her husband!He gets to eat this year round.
Didn't we talk aboutnot spending so much on food?
But it's for the family to eat.
But this seems to havebecome a hobby.
Going to the market, buying ingredientsand cooking all sorts of food all day…
That's all you ever do.
I'm not saying our family shouldn't eat.
But this is excessive.
Maybe for our kidsit's alright to feed them well…
But I don't eat this much at home.Where's all the money going?
Don't you feel anythingwhen you see Songha?
She's working her weekend away.
Even if you don't work…you can't be this clueless about money!
Hey, you're home.
The kids are sleeping.
I cleaned the house a little.Do you like it?
Did you drink?
Want a glass of plum tea?
You don't think I'm attractive.So I don't think you're important.
You're like invisible now.So don't talk to me.
Honey…
Let me help you.
I'll do it. I got it.
Hey, I'm really sorry.
It's not like I want it not to work…
Trust me.
But bodies don't lie.
I'm tired. Get out!
Mom.
You're up?
Don't drink so much at night.
And you should drink with snacks…
That's what you said?That it doesn't work with her?
Why would you tell her that directly!What about her pride?
You said I should be honest!
I said honest, not straightforward.You shouldn't have explained like that!
Well, she had everything set up at the hotel.But it still didn't react.
What other choice do I have?I had to tell her.
I wish there was a law banning sexfor couples married over 15 years.
For the sake of the family's peace!
You selfish bastard…
How sweet.
Seeing you is the only way I relieve stress.Staying at home drives me nuts.
But you have everything in your life!
That's the problem!My dear professor husband is the problem!
He acts like a professor everywhere.
Even in bed!
I can't even explain…
What's the matter?
Maybe he's too smart.Or too thoughtful…
He's way too gentle.Too quiet as well!
He can't last two minutes.Can you believe it?
Premature?
That's what it's called.
No big deal.You can fix that!
There are prescriptions for it.
- Really?- Yes.
So it doesn't need a surgery?It can be fixed easily?
My friend's husband used tostress out about his condition, too.
But ever since he wentto see the doctor…
they've been havinglong lasting nights.
Really?
Get him to a doctor.We all need more than 2 minutes.
- Right, darling?- What?
We all need love!
Of course!We can't live without love!
- Enjoy!- Thank you.
Lucky you!Your husband seems in love with you.
Oh! I heard the security sayhe saw something weird.
What now?
You know the new woman?The one who moved in.
She bought soju early morning…
Anyone can buy soju.What's weird about that?
But she paid for it and hid it in her bag!As if it's a big secret…
Speak of the devil!
Oh, hello!The perfect student's mother!
I called you several times!Why haven't you called me back?
I don't take calls from unknown numbers…
I texted you too!
Anyway, that's that.Please come to the parent meetings!
We'd love to hear about your know-howon how you raised a top student!
Number one student's momand number two student's mom!
You two will make our meetingthe best one in the school!
You really should come.Have a drink or two with us!
Let the kids study on their own…
I don't drink…
Well, you can learn!
I can teach you that for sure.
I don't really like coming outside either.I'm sorry.
And I don't really have any know-hows.
I didn't even know she got first place…Did the grades come out already?
She must think she's all thatbecause her daughter's smart…
I don't like her!
- Hiyah!- Ugh…
See? I told you I tried my best.
This really hurts, you know.
Does it?
Let's stop here for today.
I have a box full of sweet potatoes.
We can always trade!
See you next class!
Let's order protective cups…
- Two.- Ugh.
Next, come in.
Hi, what brings you here?
How long has your mother been like that?
Around two or three months.
You need to bring her to see me.As soon as possible!
Is it that bad?
No, it's not that.
But the body always sends signals.
It's when you ignore the signalsthings start to go bad.
She might say she's alright…but time will only make things worse.
I tell her that too, because I'm worried…
But most elders don't listen.
My mom does the same thingeven when she has a doctor son.
It's like she never needs me.
If… if she keeps resisting to come…
Could you give her a call and convince her?
Sure, sure!Absolutely.
Thank you so much!
No problem at all.It's really the least I can do for you.
- Thank you.- Of course.
This… is for you.I didn't want to come empty handed.
What is it?
I made it.It should still be quite crispy.
You made this at home?
The sweet potatoes taste great.
Would you like a cup of coffee?
You're my last patient for today.
Sure.
You use that pen a lot.
Oh, this.
This is the first gift I gotfrom my wife!
Huh?
And I got so used to itI can't use anything else!
I see..
This tastes great!
The sweet potatoes taste great.
No, really.It's good!
Hey, slow down…
Have I been stuffing myself?
You have…
Oh, oops.
This is nothing like the ones sold in stores!
Thank you.
This place is great, huh?
When I was a resident doctor…
things used to get really tough.
I'd come here to shoutand complain…
Then it would make me feel better.
It must be special.
Yeah, it means a lot to me.
It's special to me too.
Huh? To you?
Yes… I actually cried here before.
Here…
I don't know what's going onbut I hope you feel better.
Cried here?
When?
Eunmi used to be sick when she was young.
So I'd come cry here back then.
I see…
I bet those were some hard times…You're so attentive to your family.
I wouldn't say so.
It's because I don't workso I get to pay a little more attention.
Not necessarily!
Not a lot of peopletend to their families like you do.
It's actually good to see…
But I assumed you didn't wantyour wife to stay home?
Me?
Not at all.
I appreciate that my wife works hard…
But I'm actually kind of conservative.
If only I could afford it…
I want my wife to stay homewaiting for me to come back from work…
Thank you, for that time.
What?
I meant for your time.For your advice.
Oh, no problem…
We need a strategy that will provehangover drinks aren't only for men…
For those who didn't drink as much…
You know, about that promotion…
- We've already picked a partner.- For the direction our group wanted…
I was able to add a lot of partsmade possible because I'm a woman myself.
Your drink works well!
Cheers!
Looked like you prepared a lot today!
Yes, I tried my best.
This is the first time we're cooperating.But I can tell you're a hard worker.
Thank you.
I'll keep doing my bestto give you the result you want.
Of course, I believe you.
Let's mix up the drinks.Ms. Chae here knows how to do it right!
She knows how to snap her wrists!
Why don't you come sit here?
Well? Come on.
Do you like three shots or four?
Three and a half!
Oh, how cool!Three and a half.
Here you go.
Let me tell you how to dance tonight.
You seem flexible enoughto learn how to slow dance.
Yeah?
Ready when you are.
So these days…
I heard it's not the mannersfor us old people to stay too long.
So let me leave you all to it.Eat and drink as you wish!
Get him his jacket.
Did you pull some strings for me?
It's nothing.
Are you still out?You must be tired.
Thank you so much.I won't let you down.
- You know, Songha Chae.- Yes.
Isn't she so cute?So clueless of what's coming…
Come to my room in the morning.I have papers for you to deliver.
- To Mine Agency?- Then to who? BM?
We have to wrap up now.
Thank you.
I'm a mess…
No, you're alright.
Did you go to a hostess bar?
Can you tell?
For me…?
No!
I got a call from a hostess I know.She opened a new bar…
So I've been meaning to take him anyway.
These old guys…it's their way of having fun.
He relieves his stress like that.
Thank you so much.
You did well.
To be honest…
If this project doesn't go well…
our company will be in trouble.
My teammate plagiarized an adthat won awards abroad…
But I didn't know, so I presented it to the client.
Another team ended up winning the deal.
So this drink deal islike my last chance.
If it doesn't work out, I'll be…
Oh, sorry.This is all too personal, isn't it?
You should smile, like you usually do.
I mean this seems nothing like you.
What happened to the womanwho can drink better than I do?
That's the problem.
I've picked the wrong character.Now I have to be bright all the time!
You look better smiling too.
You're always so serious.
I'll cheer up.I'm going to nail you all!
Don't nail us too hard.
- I won't.- I'm not sure!
Is something wrong?
Nothing.
Would you like some honey tea?
Yes, please.
Wash off then.
How are we doing onshutting down the Chuncheon branch?
It's going as planned.
I know there will be opposition.But don't back down.
We're not here charity work!That branch is draining our money.
Of course, you're right.
While you're at it…
Get rid of some troublemakers too.
Send him there.
Who'd go?It's shutting down soon.
Who do you think?
I told you.You shouldn't have pushed it.
Don't tell anyone though.I wasn't supposed to share with you.
People are worried becauseno one will object to sending you there.
But it's inevitable for the Chuncheon branchto be shut down soon.
How come?What happens to the people there then?
Hey, get it together!
You can't say stuff like that now!
Would you keep it open and runningif it was your business?
But the hospital has money.
These people should feel the dutyto maintain the Chuncheon branch.
Try telling that to your wife.
You're such an idiot.A complete idiot!
Sorry about the other day.
You need to make up with your wife first.
Take these pills.
Sex is the best way to make up.It's the only way!
So make it last a week.
Stop smirking.
Sorry.
It's the official document explainingthe group marketing strategy.
Hand it off to the right person.
If this project doesn't go well…our company will be in trouble.
That's why I'm so desperate.
Yay, overtime again…
It's your fault!
Go pick it up!
Can we talk?
Sure, I'm at the office.
Hi Sangsik, what's up?
Things aren't looking so well…
How bad?
Do you have time to see me?
What's this?
Confidential information.It'll help you.
Please do not tell anyone.
It's for your eyes only.Get rid of it when you're done.
Why are you…
I have to get back to work now.
I don't know what to say…
Just try your best.
Okay…
Then.
Thank you so much.I'll try my best to not let you down.
Are you still at work?
Yes, what about you?
Cleaning up after the messmy co-workers made.
Oh, I know how that feels.I'd love a can of cold beer right now!
- That's nice.- I feel better.
Did you have a frustrating day too?
Like every other office worker.
At least you're recognized at work.
I try so hard for it.
So do I, but it's not easy.
Work used to be so fun…
I used to work all nightWithout feeling tired!
But now I feel like I'm justhanging in there for the money.
I know what you mean.
I used to not be able to sleepbecause I couldn't wait to go to work.
Wow, that's pretty bad!
Well back then, computers weren't so common.
So it was my first time using onewhen I started working.
It was so cool!
I loved practicing how to type…
So even when I lie down to sleepI couldn't stop picturing the keyboard!
Yeah, there used to be atyping practice program too.
It was almost like a game.So fun.
I remember those days too!
When I got my first promotion…
I went to Han River and cried.
I cried in the office bathroom!
The day I was promoted to a managerI sat in front of my desk until sunrise…
For me…
I was bawling at the emergency room.
Emergency room?
My oldest child was sick.I thought she caught a cold.
I couldn't take care of herbecause I was so busy with work.
My husband thought it was seriousso he asked me to bring her to the hospital…
but I pushed it off untilit turned into pneumonia.
Oh no…
Back then, I was so ready to quit…
I was ready to give up everythingif only my kid could get better!
But once she recoveredI started working day and night again.
I never really get to be a mom…All I do is get mad when their grades are bad.
Oh gosh, I must be growing old.I start crying all the time!
So the document…I accepted it before I knew it.
But is it really that bad for us?
I know it's against the ruleto share such information with you.
But I found another board memberhelping the other company as well…
What?So all this is like a show?
Well, it's the vice presidentwho makes the final decision…
So try not to be so offended.
Okay, I'll try.
But let me know if things go really bad.
If there's really no hope then I might as wellbreak Mr. Yang's wrist before I get fired!
Wouldn't that only be fair?
Minseok!
What?
Text mom and see what time she's coming home.
Text her yourself!
Do it!
Fine…
Go ahead.I didn't bring my car today.
You can ride with me.I called a chauffeur.
- No, I'm really fine.- Oh, come on.
One second.
Yes, Minseok?
I'll be there soon.I'm at work still, yeah.
Did you call for a chauffeur?
Yeah!
Come on.
- Traffic at this hour?- Strange.
What are you taking?
Are you sick?
I can feel it!
Oh, bring it on!
Your Neighbor's Wife
Geez!
You're late?
Why are you doing this?
How dare you stab my backafter all that I've done for you?
I realized something today…
Don't you remember me, doctor?
