So this means...
you've been reporting my every move to her?
Since when?
I asked you a question!
Since after your trip to Yeoju.
Did you say Yeoju?
- Did you follow me? - No, sir.
I found a Yeoju tollgate receipt in the car.
Please forgive me, sir.
Fine, I'll forgive you.
In return, I need you to do something.
It's a young woman. I think the same one he met before.
- Hello, sweetie. - Hey, where are you?
I'm picking up Mr. Choi. We're going to Eun-young's together.
- I see. - Where are you?
I just came back to the office after meeting a friend's wife.
Ah, I see. Is something wrong?
My friend got into a little trouble. Nothing too serious.
Didn't I tell you to choose your friends wisely?
Drop the ones that'll cause trouble.
I'll do that.
Sweetie, I just met Mr. Choi. Talk to you later?
Okay.
Pick up.
Hello?
Yes, ma'am.
Seems I made a mistake.
I'm sorry.
Oh? Hi, Shin-woo.
Busy much?
I might be really busy. Or maybe I'm just avoiding someone.
- Lady, I'm hungry. - She went to the market.
I'll set the table for you.
There goes my appetite.
I'll set it anyway. Eat when you want.
Slimeball..!
Ow! What's the big idea?
The big deal is you left me behind for the loan sharks to devour, that's what.
Sweetums...
Sweetums, my butt. The ink on the divorce papers dried years ago.
Please believe me when I say I'm a changed person.
I'll be glad to die here if you'll only forgive me.
- You mean that? - I can die for you.
Follow me.
Okay.
Where have you been?
Excuse me! Why's he slinking away?
What was that all about?
- He someone you know? - Nope, don't know him.
Sit and eat.
The soup turned out great.
Shin-woo.
I realize you don't like me, but let's not do this.
What's that?
We haven't eaten together once since I came.
And?
You need to eat, especially if you're gonna keep hating on me.
Who do you think you are?
Does my world revolve around you?
Do my life and emotions not exist outside of your world?
Excuse me?
What are you doing?
Don't tell me what to do.
Clean all of it up.
Say that again.
Finish what you started.
I really do regret what happened between us.
So I can take it when you're rude to me.
But this is too much. You wasted perfectly good food.
Spoken like a true pauper.
Leave it if you don't want to clean it up.
- Shin-woo... - Don't you dare touch me!
What's going on?
Tell Mr. Choi I'm sorry but we'll have to start next week.
Yes, ma'am.
Tell me.
Explain the situation.
It's my fault.
Letting her get away with everything won't solve anything.
I started it.
I'd rather die than eat, but she persisted.
But mom, please let it go, just for today.
I had a horrible day.
I just might explode.
Are you threatening me right now?
I'm sincerely asking you for the first time ever.
Fine, we'll talk later. Go to your room.
Shin-woo.
Eun-young's a good person. Don't hurt her anymore.
And I thought you were different.
Why are you so attached to that woman?
I get it that you're angry, but watch your tongue.
I'm your sister-in-law.
I can't believe this. I'm being lectured from all sides.
I'm at fault for not picking up on her bad mood.
I'll apologize in her stead.
Please don't. I was at fault.
It's just for the winter holidays.
She'll be off to school again soon.
Don't worry about me.
Thanks for understanding.
You stay put. I'll clean it up.
- No, I'll... - I said, stay put.
That's an order.
Na-kyeong?
Yeah?
Don't be so good to me.
Like I said, I'm on your side.
Sit down and rest.
I'll clean this right up and then we'll gossip about Shin-woo.
I wish I were a good person to you.
I'm so sorry.
Come in.
I explained things well to Mr. Choi. Don't worry about him.
Thank you.
I wish Shin-woo would give Eun-young a chance.
It'll be difficult for Eun-young. Be her friend.
She probably feels worse because she used to work but stays home now.
I guess so.
If it's okay with you, I'd like to take her to a women's art club meeting
I need a friend while I'm readjusting, too.
A women's art club?
Yes.
Is she ready?
Don't worry. She'll be with me.
Do I look that pretty in real life, too?
Eun-young is pretty.
How pretty?
This... much.
Wow, I must be really pretty.
Eun-young is really pretty.
Thank you for forgiving me.
I'll do my best to make you forget the pain I've caused you.
Did something happen between us?
Why would your friend's wife come to see you?
Ah. I think... he has another woman.
So?
He used me as an excuse.
She already had proof.
But I think she desperately needed to hear otherwise, even if it was a lie.
What a foolish woman, wasting her time when she already has proof.
I guess she really wanted to believe him.
But she knows deep down it's a lie. What a hypocrite.
What is it?
- I'm grateful. - For what?
Seeing her made me realize how hard it must've been for you to forgive me.
- Thanks. - Psh.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Where's mother?
She went to the spa. It's her new thing.
Since she's not here, how about a glass of wine?
Darn, I have work to do.
Ugh, you're such a workaholic.
- No working past midnight. - Gotcha.
- I'll get dinner ready. Come out. - Okay.
Where are you going?
- We're out of milk. - Mom, Hyeong-woo will buy milk.
Lady. Lady!
Mother, we'll go.
You called?
Why are we out of milk?
- I figured we wouldn't need it 'til morn... - Go buy some.
- We'll go, mother. - Go now.
Yes, ma'am.
Did you already forget what I said?
Hyeong-woo is to stay at home at all times.
The store's right in front.
I don't care.
He could trip and fall on the icy ground. Go back upstairs.
Yes, ma'am.
Mom, Hyeong-woo will buy milk.
The lady will buy the milk. You're a good boy, aren't you?
Yes.
Hey, you done working?
Yeah.
Sweetie, can you do something about Shin-woo? Talk to her maybe?
Why? What for?
She treats Eun-young like dirt. It's terrible.
That's something they need to work out.
You're already sleeping?
- I want Manager Han now. - Right now?
Yes, now!
Come in.
- Where's Manager Han? - He's not in the office.
Are you sure?
Actually, the board of trustees is in his office right now.
Calm down.
You storm in and you'll be the laughingstock.
- Hello, mother. - Hey there, Na-kyeong.
An herbal medicine clinic?
A little something for you and Jeong-woo.
It'll be my gift to you two, so drink it well.
I don't need it. Just get some for Jeong-woo.
What's the point? Not like he's gonna have a kid with some other woman...
Why are we here, mother?
You see, I was at the market yesterday with a friend, Mrs. Park.
Her second daughter couldn't get pregnant for 7 years.
But she drank medicine from here and straightaway got pregnant!
I barely got us in to meet the doctor.
You said you'd leave the child issue up to us.
That was before Hyeong-woo got married.
Well, I don't want it, mother.
Don't want it?
I don't. And I have a prior engagement so I can't give you a ride home.
It's cold. Take a taxi.
Look here, Na-kyeong! Hey, hey, hey!
I say, Na-kyeong!
What the...?
What are you doing? You trying to kill yourself?
Stop it!
Let me be. I'll be glad to die.
What's your problem?
- Eun-young didn't do all that so you can... - Stop right there!
No, we need to talk about this.
You think I like what happened any more than you do?
Isn't it a dream come true for you?
Huge apartment, your own business. What more could you want?
How spot on you are.
I'm so thrilled I feel like dancing all the time.
Let's just think of Eun-young and nothing else.
You and I have to go a little crazy and pretend everything's all right.
Eun-young's already in knee-deep.
Don't you pity your daughter?
Geez, you're a chatterbox today.
Honey.
Dinner's ready.
- I'll eat later. - You'll eat now.
This is my last warning.
Here.
Let's eat.
Here.
Ah.
Hyeong-woo, chew carefully.
By the way, leave Hyeong-woo home and come out to the dept. store tomorrow.
- The department store? - Yeah.
We need to get you some new clothes for the women's art club meeting.
I have plenty of clothes. You bought me some, remember?
The women there love to gossip.
Everyone there will know who you are.
Listen to my mom.
She wants you to look better than Na-kyeong.
I have a meeting in the morning. I'll send a car in the afternoon.
I can go on my own.
I want you chauffeured when you come to the dept. store.
Okay, ma'am.
Hello, sir.
I can't get ahold of Na-kyeong. Is she alright?
Yes, she's perfectly fine.
You keep disappointing me these days.
When I set things up for you, I expected you to excel.
But you can't even gain your footing in Dream In.
- I'm sorry, sir. - Get your priorities straight.
Now's not the time to wheedle your wife into buying a summer house.
A summer house?
The stockholders are already talking about replacing you.
And Manager Han's behind that.
I know that much, sir. Give me a little time.
I'm sorry.
Take care of it on your own. Bye.
- You up? - Yeah.
- When'd you get here? - A while ago.
Why didn't you wake me?
How could I? You were too sound asleep.
Speaking of which, this is a clear case of breaking and entering.
Call ahead when you have a girl with you. I'll sneak out.
She already stormed off.
It's late. Go home.
Your bed's so comfy.
You're a housewife. Shouldn't you be cooking and cleaning?
Yeah, well, today's an exception.
Why? Something happen?
Gosh, I'm starving.
Min-je, how about some ramen?
Get your priorities straight.
Now's not the time to wheedle your wife into buying a summer house.
If I had known it would sell so quickly, I wouldn't have worried your wife so.
I talked with her yesterday. She didn't tell you?
Hello, this is Kang Jeong-woo.
About the house in Yeoju.
About the person who bought it.
It was a guy's name on the papers. Did he come to see the house alone?
No, it was a young woman who saw the house and decided to buy it.
Where's Na-kyeong?
Jerk, looking for your wife while your mother's dying?
You know she practically abandoned me on the street today?
Is she home?
What's wrong? Did something happen?
It's nothing. Get some rest.
B-but, Jeong-woo!
Yes, that's the car. I remember cause we took her car.
If you read for too long, your eyesight will go bad.
You read the newspaper all day. Is it that interesting?
The newspaper is interesting.
What's your favorite article today?
The latest books from Hwang Seok-young, Shin Kyeong-suk, Gong Ji-young...
were published in 2008, showing the potential of these young writers.
It was a great year for Korean literature.
Books from Gong Ji-young, Kim Hoon, Go Woon, Jeong Yi-hyeon...
are waiting to be published in 2009.
They are expected to breathe life back into Korean literature.
You memorized all that?
Wow, you must know everything.
Hyeong-woo knows everything.
Oh, it's time for bed. C'mon.
Ah, and it's time for me to leave, right?
- Goodbye, Eun-young. - See you in the morning.
Okay.
Good night.
Why are you out here every night?
Well, um... to read. The light will keep him awake.
I'm just curious... but do you and my brother...
Never mind.
Anyway, I don't like seeing your face. Stop hanging out here so much.
Sweetie... what are you...?
Are you mad at me? Ju-young had an emergency.
Let me get changed and then I'll cook you something to go with that whiskey.
Geez...
Why'd you drink so much...?
Let's have a kid.
Sweetie.
It's like mother said.
You're not really husband and wife without a child.
Don't you agree?
You're drunk. Go to bed.
Stop it!
Stop it? Stop it?
We're married.
And there are lines that shouldn't be crossed, even within marriage.
And this isn't how you should treat your husband.
Let go! Jeong-woo!
Let go!
