Why? Why did you do it?
Don't know…
It's just…
It happened before I knew what I was doing.
What do we do?What were you thinking?
Well, honestly…
I'm in a fix right now.
Your being like thiswill make it harder for me.
Please, don't cry.
I did it because I liked how you laughed.
If you do this,I won't have anything left.
But Songha…
Honestly, I'm scared.
I'm a joke, aren't I?
No.
Tell me what I should do.
Not doing anythingis how you can help me.
If you come forward, it'll put me in a difficult position.
It's all my fault.
How can I not do anythingwhen this whole mess is because of me?
Now, it's simply my mess.
Mr. Min!
This is my mess!It's our mess!
Don't try to bear it on your own.
Episode 7
I'm going to give it some more thought tonight.
You should think it over too
and please don't hesitate to tell meif there's anything I can do.
Mr. Min.
Alright.
- I mean it.- Alright!
First, let's get this problem resolved.That's all we should think about for now.
Well, I don't want to make you feel burdenedin any way.
There's nothing burdensome.
Except…
I do get the feelingthat we shouldn't do this anymore.,
You'll cheer up?
Yes.
So will I!Let's give it a fight! You and I!
We can do it!
We can do it! We can do it!
You go on in first.
Go on.
Son! Are you still at your afterschool academy?
Go home with your sister when class is over.
Yeah, do some homework while you're waiting.
Your sister is a girl.You should look out for her.
Thanks, son.
Yeah, Mom's going to be heading home soon too.Why? Is there something you're craving?
dumplings?You saw someone eating dumplings, didn't you?
Of course, I'll get some on my way home!My sweet son wants them!
Too sentimental for you?
My son and daughterare who I love the most in the whole world.
Okay, see you later.
Oh! Dr. Ahn.
- Come on in, Doctor.- Yes, hello.
- It's been such a long time.- It has.
How is Minkyung?
She's doing good.How about Taeho?
Yes, he's good.
Minkyung is such a cheerful and friendly kid
that she comes to mind every now and then.
Why, thank you.
She's not so great at her studies,but she has a real proper and pure soul.
You know grades aren't all in life.
Dr. Ahn, you should know.
In the end, character is what's important.
Thank you for being so understanding.
- Is it to go?- Yes.
Half fried and half seasoned chicken,with extra pickled radishes, please.
You must be planning to have a drink with Mrs. Chae.
Half-half, extra radishes.
Yes, that's what I'm planning.
Oh, you 2 are always intimateand on good terms.
It's because you're such a gentleman, Dr. Ahn.
It's all Mrs. Chae's good luck.
Have a seat for a minute.Mrs. Chae likes wings.
I'll just put in some extra wings.
Oh, that so?Gee, thank you.
Oh! Doctor!
- Oh, hello.- Hello.
Oh, right this way.
Honey, how can you treat a guest like this?
You stay put.I'll get you a nice cool beer.
No, that's fine.I have to get going once I get my order.
No way!That's no way to treat you, Doc!
Uh, well, I…
It's actually because I want a drink.
Oh, I see. Still…
I shouldn't…
Hits the spot!
Doc, go ahead, you can tell me.
Just because you're a doctor,doesn't mean you don't have worries.
Then, I'm going to ask you an honest question.
You've been married17, 18 years too, right?
But what I hear
is that you're on exceptional terms with your wife.
Yeah.
Ah, has it already been that long?
But…
can you still get yourself to do it with her?
Huh?
Oh, that!
Then, who should I get myself to do it with?
Well, if you've been married this long,
isn't it natural for those thoughts to disappear?
How can you not get those thoughtswhen a woman is lying next to you?
So, what I mean is…
is she stilla woman to you?
Isn't she sexy?
Oh, no doubt she always looks great.
But…
still, if you think, 'this is my wife,'
isn't it a bit awkward?
Can you get yourself to do itif you think of her as your wife?
Doc, does that work for you?
Huh?
Well, I'm no better than the average Joe.
Just think, 'She's someone else's woman,'
or, 'She's another woman!'
Oh, hello.
Hello.
I thought you were someone else.
You look nice.
By the way,
have you found my dishes?
Uh, uh, um…
Sorry, I've been busy lately…
Please, do look for them.I really cherish those plates.
Oh, my apologies.
Did I say you should drinkwith a customer or not?
That's not it.
Hello.
Oh, really! Honey, don't.
Songha, it's been such a long time.
Yes, it's been awhile, hasn't it.
Just thought I'd have some beer tonight.1 barbeque chicken, please.
Gee, I'm jealous.
- You 2 are so considerate of each other's tastes.- Pardon?
You ask for Dr. Ahn's favorite barbeque,
and Dr. Ahn already bought 'half-half' chickenwith extra radishes to go.
Did you guys set the date today?
I'm sure I put them here.
- What are you doing?- Oh, nothing.
What are you looking for?
Oh, nothing.
I found some useless dishes I'd never seen beforetaking up space, so I threw them out.
Are those what you're looking for?
What?
Why are you so surprised?
- You knew and threw them out, didn't you?- Know what?
That they were Eunmi mom's from across the hall.You knew, didn't you!
- Did you just shout at me?- Go find them this instant!
- Don't shout at me!- I said go find them!
I broke them!
What?!
What are they that you're making this fuss?
Bring them back exactly as they wereor go buy the same ones.
What? What are you 2 anyway?
What?
Minkyung and Minseok saythey never got any food from her.
That means you got it when you were alone.
What did she give you so muchwhile you were alone?
What are you 2 doing?
Is that all you can think of?
How about you? What do you do with that guy outside?
You drink with him, using work as an excuse,
saying all that nonsenseabout how he doesn't put his wife out on the workforce.
Hey, Songha Chae! Did I ever force youto go out and make money?
Why not live according to our means?!
So, is that guylike the heaven and the universe to you?
Why? Got something on your conscience?
It's so preposterousthat I'm at a loss for words.
And your actions make sense?
Are you really so nervous about the woman next door?
To the extent that you have to break her dishes?
What?!
Songha Chae, is this how superficial you are?
That's so shallow.
Is something the matter?
No, it's nothing.
- Would you like a bite to eat?- No, I'm good.
Would you lay out some blankets in the study for me?
You look nice.
Really?
Yes, it's nice.
Do you think I could go to the gathering like this?
What… what gathering?
You said I should get my hair donefor a couples' gathering.
Uh yeah, right.
Uh-huh, looks like it would be fine.
I'm supposed to send your motherliving expenses tomorrow.
I'm going to call her tonight andtell her about the Chuncheon issue.
If she finds out later when there's a problem,
she's sure to say it's my fault,but I don't what to hear it.
I'm so shallow that I don't want to be criticizedeven after sending her money.
Tell the vice director nicely
that I won't go to Chuncheon.
And about the JN Pharmaceutical supplier deal.
This is a comparison table of our current medications
with the prices of JN,which you and the vice director want to switch to.
For the antithrombotic medication,our current one is 208 won
whereas JN's is 739 won.
For the blood circulation enhancer,
ours is 140 wonand JN's is 315 won.
The anti-cancer drug is 3 timesand antibiotics is 2 times higher.
All of this will become the patients' burden.
Do you expect me to consent to this?
Do you select a drug based on the price?
Effectiveness is what's most important!
JN Pharmaceutical's are patented drugsthat have been clinically proven!
Regardless if the components are similar,the hospital's credibility is on the line!
We need this least bit of protectionif a medical dispute should arise.
Dr. Cho, you doing politics right now?
Then, why don't we do an open bidinstead of private contract?
Then, I'll consent.
It's not that you don't want to go to Chuncheon,
you just want to quit this hospital asap.
You kidding?
I can't open a private practice doing brain surgery.Where would I go if I quite a university hospital?
Don't you think?
Oh, are we going back to the mobile phone ad?
I assure you, if we film the ad with my idea alone,
our team will go straight back up to no.1 in the field.
Ms. Chae…
You should be jumping upand grabbing me by the collar by now.
Is something wrong?
Uh, Ms. Chae?
They say sense trumps physiognomy,but you have no sense about you!
Songha,
Apparently, the other company made a complaintthat there was a problem with the ad presentation.
Did it reach you already?
Hey, don't you know I'm the person in the knowin this business? I'm the 1st to know!
The, word hasn't gone far yet?
You mean there really is something?
Jiyoung, what's it like to get divorced?
What kind of propaganda-style approach is this suddenly?
You planning to get divorced too?
Why, can't I?
- Got a man?- I can't get divorced unless I have a man?
- You couldn't get divorced even with one.- Why not?
Because you'd be haunted by your cursed husband.
Frankly, he couldn't look after himselfwithout you.
You've come this farby taking care of all kinds of lowly things.
Could you sleep comfortably knowing that?
Didn't I tell you before?
Divorce is something you do
when you can react indifferently and go eata bowl of 'yukgaejang' soup at his funeral if he dies.
I'm so tired nowof looking after him.
That's made you so excited to marry him.
I was naïve.
Yeah, that's why I always say
that you should get married after you've
been through it all and lived with a lot of guys.
Then, you do it if you find a guy that you wantto grow old with after 40.
What should I do?
How do I deal with this?
We definitely have a problem,but I don't know what it is or how to handle it.
What should I do, Jiyoung?
He's your husband.
What are you talking with me for?The 2 of you should be talking.
Hurry and talk it over with your husband!
In bed!
Is it true?
I don't want to believe it either,but an anonymous letter was submitted
and it seems the person in charge at JNis an audit subject.
Evidently, there was some talkamong us internally too after the 3rd party?
We aren't in the sales division!
When was pouring drinks, singing,and entertaining part of our jobs?
It'll be fatal if word spreads through the industrythat we win ads in questionable ways
There is 1 way…
You know Ms. Chae's husband is a university doctor?
Our advertiser is a pharmaceutical company.We should help each other out.
We'll look this incident over
if Ms. Chae wins a pharmaceutical supply dealfor them. How's that?
Remove the drain from patient Misook Kimand run another blood test.
Let me know when it's been verified.
Right this way.
Make it as soon as possible.
This is Dr. Sungyu Ahn.
What are you doing? Say hello.
The future heir of BM Group.
Oh, hello.I'm Sungyu Ahn, brain specialist.
Did you come because of headaches?
This guy…
He's like that.He always has patients on his mind.
Must be a good doctor.You must guide him well, Vice Director.
Well… all I did was advise himto always think of the patient's health and welfare 1st.
Take care of every patientas if they're a VVIP.
Ms. Chae boasts about her husband all the timethat I had to meet you.
Do you know my wife?
Quite well.
Was there such a difficult problem at the company?
The other company is spreading a matadorthat we've bribed the advertiser.
Bribe?
Ugh, that's preposterous!
You know what kind of woman Songha is?
She wouldn't do something like that even if the company asked.
Don't I know my own wife?
She's strict. She despises going outand pouring drinks for guys
for stuff like that!
Of course… I'm well aware.
But,
are you telling me thissimply because you're concerned?
I'll be honest since I'm here.
From our company's perspective,
Ms. Chae will lose her jobif we don't win this ad.
I'll be straight with you.
Please do not disapproveof JN Pharmaceutical supplying drugs for this hospital.
This is how we can surviveand you can survive.
Just ask your husband
to help get JN Pharmaceutical the deal.
Why are you connecting my problem with my husband?
Well, can't a married couple cooperate over this?
Is this about some stranger?
Vice President! This is my problem!
I'll take responsibility and get it resolved.
If you can't?
If I can't,
I'll have to resign.
You resign and that's it?
Sorry?
Sure, you just wipe your hands of itand it's off your chest.
What about Mr. Min at the other company?
People have eyes and ears.
Are you going to ruina man's life who has a wife and kids?
Evidently, he was primary candidate for promotion!
Turns out you have great luck!
Pardon me?
There's a way for you to get out of this mess.
What do you mean?
The supply case for Hanjung University Hospital…
I'm close with the vice director there,so I got a call.
My gosh, of all things.
The stupid doctor who was giving them a headacheby opposing the case
is the woman's husband.
Go solve the problem
and I'll surrender to you!I lose!
All you do is see the deal through.
Then, this incident will smooth over
with Ms. Chae somehow getting our confidential info
through some unknown route
and used that to win the ad.
Then, you're home free.
I can't do that.
What?
If the company raises any questionsI'll acknowledge my wrongdoing
and accurately report the cause of the issue.
This would never have happenedif you didn't ask for our data to be sent outside.
You've gone crazy over some woman! You're nuts!
You're completely nuts!
You're going to lose your job!
Think of your wife and kids, Sangsik Min!
Plus, you're taking me down with you?
Mr. Sangsik Min,I'm Jongchan Roh from the audit team.
Please rise from your seat a moment.
Remove all your possessions in your pocketonto the desk.
Stand back a moment.
Begin.
Isn't my mobile phone my personal belonging?
The company paid for the phone and phone bills.
They all belong to the company.
She's here, she's here.
Hello.
Oh yes, you're here.
- Did you get the cup?- Yes, sir!
Give that to me this time.
You told me to spar today.
Today, I'll do it.
What you'll be learning today is how to reactwhen the attacker approaches from behind.
There are 3 steps to this skill.
Staying calm is the most important.
Whan a man holds you from behind,it's impossible to get free with a woman's strength.
1st, if you're wearing high heels,
step on the attacker's foot
and strike his sidewith your right elbow.
Then, look down as if you're bowingand strike back with force.
Finally, attack the groinwhen the attacker is in pain.
Got it?
Now, turn around, please.
Now, let's begin!
Stop!
Sorry.It was too late when I heard you.
Did you do sports in college?
Could I see you a minuteif you come to the hospital?
You're here.
Yes.
Have a seat. I brought some coffee.
You're… completely different.
I wanted to give myself a change.
You were fine before too,but you look really great now.
Thank you.
You're mother is recoveringquite well.
Thank you.
And… the…
Go ahead,Tell me what's on your mind.
It's just…
- The dishes?- Yes?
Oh, yes…
You have nothing to worry about.
Your wife must have been troubledthat I kept giving you stuff.
Or did they accidentally break?
I saw them while I was out recycling.They were completely shattered,
as if someone threw them on purpose.
Everything is my fault.
Why is that your fault?
No, it's my fault.
What happened?
I made her upset.
Your wife?
I accidentally…somehow compared her with you…
It must have upset her.
Compare us?
Me and Minkyung's mom?
What is there to compare between me
and your wife, who is competent, smart,and outgoing?
What do you mean?
You're a good cook,great at housework, frugal,
and feminine.
You're not saying you compared us like that?
My plates deserved to be broken, then.
If you just tell me where you bought the dishes…
- I'll get the same ones…- Just
buy me a nice meal.
Pardon?
Is that too much to ask?
Wow, how could youhave such similar hobbies as me?
Mysterious.
What?
I also like scuba diving.
Skin diving!
Amazing!'Seal' is my nickname!
Once I get in the water,I never get out.
Oh, 'seal' also meanswhat they say about that other thing.
But these days I'm more into mountain climbing.
Oh, this is bizarre.
I'm completely into camping these days.
Once you fall for camping,there's no place like the mountains.
Sunjang…
You would really hit it bigif you used this skill doing business.
Who would bother to humora possible client to this degree?
You're about to give me
your soul and guts.
I'd dieif they told me to die.
Should I…help you out a little?
Do we really have to take different classes?
I have to go. They made a class especially for us.
But you can't take it with me.
Why did they make that class all of a sudden?
No kidding.
Then, can't I wait until it's over?
Naw, what will you do for 2 whole hours?
I'll study.
No way.
You'll be tired. Go on home and rest.
This isn't fair!I can't even go home with you after after-school classes!
- Oh, you're taking this class too?- Yup. It's for the top 5 at school.
Oh, right.
Can I sit with you?
Yeah, go ahead.
What did you have for dinner?
Just some ramen.
How will you make it through the night on ramen?
You can share this with me.
Wow!
No, you have to eat.
I can't eat all this by myself.My mom always packs me more than enough.
Alright, then I'll have 1.
Wow, looks delicious.
This is really delicious.
Is it?
- Yeah, it doesn't compare to store-bought food.- Have some more.
Can I?
Want some?
Thanks.
- It's really good.- You can have it all.
You have it good. My parentsdon't even make stuff like this for me.
Yum.
People have eyes and ears.
Are you going to ruina man's life who has a wife and kids?
Evidently, he was primary candidate for promotion!
You've gone crazyover some woman! You're nuts!
You're completely nuts!
You're going to lose your job!
Think of your wife and kids, Sangsik Min!
Plus, you're taking me down with you?
From our company's perspective,
Ms. Chae will lose her jobif we don't win this ad.
Then, it'll be a disgrace not only for our companybut for Ms. Chae as well.
You know better than anyone
how hard Ms. Chae has worked.
Is today some special occasion?
No kidding.
Each person is taking up a park benchand not going home.
Has there been any peculiar behavior latelybetween those 2 neighbors?
Not that I know of.
A few days ago, the woman at #1303 Bldg 903changed her hairstyle
and she's been totally transformed.
Her personality seems to have changed too.
It's coming to me.
Something really fun
is about to happen.
Who is it?
You must be tired.
Something good happen?
Just because…
Because what?
The rice balls were good today.
Were they?
And… thank you.
For what?
Everything, for everything.
Did you just get in?
Yeah, I worked overtime.
You must be tired.
Well, so are you.
How about a glass of beer with me?
Cheers?
Somehow it's been so longsince we've sat across from each other
and had a couple of beers.
No kidding.
Why did we get like this?
Why are you asking me?
Yeah,
It's all my fault.
You can't say it's all your fault.
It's just so tough
to make ends meet in Korea.
Should we just go live abroad?
Africa?
Or somewhere else.
Now that I think of it,Africa doesn't sound so bad.
Giraffes and lions roaming about…
That's how animals should live,
but so should people.
In Korea, it's like living in a cageboth for humans and animals.
True. This isn't really living, is it?
But then,
what about your job?
I can just quit.
- Your job?- Sure.
Wow, can you really do that?
Screw it. Why not?
Is something up?
No.
Just think, 'She's someone else's woman,'
or, 'She's another woman!'
If we go someplace like thatdon't you think we could really live freely?
She's someone else's wife…
Then, you can do your medical volunteer workthat you've been dying to do…
A different woman…
Someone else's woman…
Should we really forget all this and go to Africa?
She's someone else's woman…
A person only lives once.
A different woman… A different woman…
Someone else's woman. She isn't my woman!
A different woman!Not Songha Chae!
- What is it?- Huh?
What are you thinking?
No, no…
Isn't it tough these days?
You know having a career is like that.
Nothing is the matter. I'm fine.
Oh, alright.
The Chuncheon issue…
is there something wrong at the hospital?
I'm not going to Chuncheon.Don't worry.
Really? It's alright?
What is this?
You just talked about moving to Africa
and you're so happy not to go to Chuncheon?
You know I'm superficial.
Thanks to that, we're able to have this life.
I'm so far removed from realityand always talking about foolish dreams.
How would I have a life like thisif it weren't for a hard worker like you?
You know that?
I know then forget…
I'm sorry.
Don't…
I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry. Really.
No,
I'm really sorry.
Let's work on it.
We have Minkyung and Minseok.
Sleep in the bedroom now.
I won't pressure you!
There's really nothing wrong?
Huh? Why?
It just looks like there is.
There's nothing like that. Don't worry.
Really.
You just take care of the householdand the kids.
Don't worry about that.
Don't worry about the household.That's for me to deal with.
Thank you.
Right, don't worry about outside affairs.That's for me to deal with.
Thank you.
I'll be back.
Don't get too concerned about it.
It was like this when we got here.
I'm sorry, Mr. Min.
It's okay. The misunderstanding will get resolved soon.
Everyone, do your jobs well while I'm away.I'm going to check when I get back.
You want to see me?
Alright. Will do.
Witch.
Mr. Yang,
what do I need to do?
Your Neighbor's Wife
Can't you comprehend what's going on?We removed Sangsik Min's desk today!
Mr. Yang, it's all my fault.
Help me out once, just this once.
Yield just this once,for me.
- Anyway I can…- Please don't contact me.
Is this JN Pharmaceutical, Mr. Yang's house?
Should I prepare everything, Mrs. Yang?
Help yourself.
You really don't remember me?
Don't you remember this?
I saw that woman! I'm positive!
That fountain pen that you use…
