Actress Oh Young Shil.
- Hello. - Hong Jin Kyung.
Hello.
Tei.
(Singer Tei)
- Jeong Eun Ji. - It's Eun Ji.
You're playing the mother-in-law in the drama, "The Promise".
- Yes. - She's a very mean mother-in-law.
Yes, she is. It's the first time I've played a villain.
Saying lines like "Die," "You should go to jail"...
makes my heart pound whenever I have to.
Tei has always been good at mimicking singers.
I'll mimic two singers for you.
Kim Dong Ryul has a deep voice,
and Lee Seung Hwan has a very soft voice.
For example...
(Determined)
(What was that?)
- Who was that? - Kim Dong Ryul or Lee Seung Hwan?
It's Lee Seung Hwan's "For A Thousand Days".
"For A Thousand Days" is Lee Seung Hwan's song.
- That was Kim Dong Ryul. - I knew it.
He sang "For A Thousand Days" with Kim Dong Ryul's voice.
What about Lee Seung Hwan?
(Will he succeed this time?)
It sounded like him.
- Was it close enough? - That was good.
(He can't give up Kim Dong Ryul.)
You did a good job. Stop it.
You did a good job.
Eun Ji, you recently released your solo album.
- That's right. - Yes.
(Sing for us.)

(Heartwarming lyrics and positive energy)
(It's a happy song.)
That's a great song.
(We enjoyed your song.)
It's time to listen to people's various worries.
What type of worry are you most familiar with?
I'm an expert in marriage counselling.
I dated for seven years before getting married.
Before marriage, I dated loads of people.
- So... - "Loads"?
- After having countless fights, - That's right.
I live happily with my husband now.
(She has lived through marital conflicts.)
She knows by experience.
She's an expert in marital conflicts.
- What about you, Jin Kyung? - Playing hard to get.
- Playing hard to get in dating? - Dating.
While pretty women get to choose among many men,
women like me work very hard to barely find one person.
Therefore, I need to know how to talk and...
how I can make them laugh.
I also need to know how to keep things mysterious.
- Like dating skills? - I know your dating experience.
That's true.
Will you still insist on being an expert in dating?
She means playing hard to get.
- I have some skills. - Does she play hard to get,
- or the other person? - It's not like that.
She stays lied down in front of his house.
(She's an expert in lying down.)
She's an expert in lying down!
- This is how it works. - Is that playing hard to get?
Let's say I suddenly disappear after lying down.
Then he'll start to get curious.
I hide myself after lying down there for a while.
She's an expert in controlling how to make people fall for her.
How about you, Tei?
Now that I'm in my mid 30s,
I wonder about my place in the society.
- It's a big worry for me. - I understand.
What he said was sophisticated, but at a glance,
he seems like an expert in knees.
(An expert in knees?)
Your knee exposure is obscene. Please cover your knees.
- It's okay now. - His pants are too torn.
To the young people who risk everything for life...
- It's all right. - What about you, Eun Ji?
I can easily empathise with others. I'm an expert in empathising.
- I often empathise with others. - I remember that.
- I see. - Right, so I can understand.
- You see from their perspective. - Yes, I'm an expert in empathising.
Last week's "Find My Husband" won for the second time.
- You took a day off last Sunday. - Yes.
Did it affect your work too much...
- He only took a day off. - after taking a day off?
It didn't affect too much.
- Right? - Of course not.
- See? It was fine. - However, some people call...
and ask if the shop is open on days when I'm off.
Then, I'm losing those customers.
- No, you aren't. - They'll wait.
No one blames you for not working on Sundays.
On the other hand,
to see such a young person work so hard is quite impressive.
He shouldn't have gotten married.
I also thought about that.
She sounds like an old lady nagger.
Let's see if this worry wins for the third time today.
- What's given to the winner? - A 1,000 dollars gift certificate.
Please show us the three worries for today.
("I Can't Do It Anymore", "Life Is Bitter", "Dog Lover")
This is "I Can't Do It Anymore".
Hello, I'm a 45-year-old housewife, and I run a rice cake shop...
with my husband.
I know everyone's busy these days,
but I don't think anyone has such a busy life as mine.
I wake up at 5:30am and start making rice cakes at the shop.
At 8am, I return home to make breakfast and send kids to school.
Then I go back to the shop to prepare the ingredients,
wrap and sell rice cakes to customers.
I work all day without rest until 8pm.
I want to rest at home, but I have dishes to wash and cleaning to do.
Moreover, I have kids to look after.
- All I do all day is work. - Gosh.
The reason why I work this much...
is my husband.
I tell him, "Honey, I think I overworked today."
"My shoulders hurt, and I'm so tired."
He responds, "I'm tired too."
When I say, "I'm sick, so you do the dishes today."
He goes, "But I made plans with my friends."
"I'll be right back after having just one drink."
Having such an inattentive husband might cause serious health issues.
In the end,
I went to the hospital for my swollen wrist that I got...
from too much work.
The doctor said, "Gosh, you have a fracture on your wrist."
"You must be in so much pain."
"How did you manage to endure this pain for so long?"
I'm always in pain,
so a fracture in my bone didn't feel like such a big deal.
What did I do so wrong? Must I keep on living like this?
(Until when must I live like this?)
- How could she not know? - She didn't know about a fracture.
- She brought it onto herself... - Onto herself?
Since she made the choice?
because if she couldn't survive, she should have given up already.
- However, she did all the work? - Just like that?
Since she wasn't courageous enough to change,
things became fixed this way.
Have you given up everything before?
Yes, I have. That's when peace started.
What do the others think about this worry...
- based on the letter? - They got married based on love,
but the fact that one person feels very unhappy in this marriage...
- makes me feel sad. - That happens.
Let's invite her to find out how difficult it must be for her.
Please come on out!
(Who's the person working all day due to her inattentive husband?)
Tei.
Please escort her to her seat.
She looks so friendly.
- She looks very sweet. - I can see that.
How much do you work? We read your letter,
but could you explain it again?
I wake up at 5am.
I prepare to open the rice cake shop with my husband.
Then I go back home at around 7:50am.
I wake up my second eldest child and make breakfast.
I also have a 21-month-old baby.
- She also has a baby. - Then...
How old is your eldest daughter?
- She's a senior in high school. - A senior?
- That's a big age gap. - How about your second eldest?
- He's in ninth grade. - How old is your youngest?
The baby is 21 months old.
The siblings are much older.
Although you're tired, you still did everything.
I told you. She brought it onto herself.
- I'm sure they wanted another baby. - They love each other.
Please continue with your story without letting them distract you.
After sending my baby to a nursery at 9am,
I come back to the shop and sell rice cakes.
After having breakfast with my husband,
I either cook red beans or make rice cake fillings.
I continue to work.
I get off from my work at 8pm.
- What do you do at home? - At home,
- more work is waiting for me. - Work?
It's messy in the house,
- She has to clean. - so I clean and do the dishes.
I wash the baby bottle, feed and put the baby to sleep.
I then have no time for myself. I fall asleep when the baby does.
How many hours do you sleep per day?
I sleep for five hours.
She goes to bed at midnight.
Does your husband help you at all? What's the exact situation?
When we're both home from work,
all he does is watching TV.
When my wrist was injured,
I asked my husband to bathe the baby.
He said his lower back hurt,
so he couldn't. I bathed the baby instead.
- With your fractured wrist? - Yes.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
Did you bathe your baby like this?
I didn't know I had a fractured wrist then.
- Even if you were in pain? - I got acupuncture and received...
physical therapy because I was in too much pain.
However, nothing worked, so I got an X-ray at an orthopaedics.
The doctor said the fractured wrist was being healed.
- The wrist was being healed? - Now,
let's hear it from her husband's perspective.
Where is her husband?
Hello.
(Is he the inattentive husband who had his wife work too much?)
He has a strong build like someone who can do a lot of work.
What do you think about your wife's worry?
I'm quite flustered.
- Pardon me? - I'm flustered.
- Why? - My wife usually doesn't...
ask me for favours.
However, she kept asking me to come on the show.
I didn't have a choice but to give in.
I don't think it's a big worry.
- We listened to what she said, - Right.
but you still don't think it's a worry?
- Not from my perspective. - I see.
Were you in a lot of pain because of your lower back?
- My lower back... - You look quite healthy.
- My lower back hurts a lot. - I see.
I have to get a surgery at least three times a year.
- Really? - Do you have a herniated disc?
No, I have a spinal stenosis.
- I see. - He had his reason.
Couldn't you at least bathe your child?
Your wife had a fractured wrist.
- At that time, I didn't know... - You didn't know.
- about her fractured wrist. - I see.
After she got an X-ray,
did you bathe the baby?
Her fracture was almost healed.
It was almost healed.
Because it was almost healed?
(This is my life.)
It's not like I don't do work.
Starting early morning, I prepare, make, wrap and deliver rice cakes.
When my wife goes back home at around 8pm,
until 9pm or 10pm,
- Do you clean up? - I clean the shop.
I also prepare ingredients for the next day.
- Her husband works a lot, too. - Yes, I do.
However, around 12pm,
he rests at home for four hours.
- He takes a four hours lunch break? - Yes.
You need to be honest!
(He only talked about what he wanted to say.)
How can you not mention your long break?
- What does the wife do? - Why don't you do housework?
Do you take a break at all?
At that time, I clean, make rice cakes and sell to customers.
What do you do at home for four hours?
- Do you play games? - I sleep.
I can't help it because when you run a shop,
you have to get enough rest to run the shop the next day.
- How about your wife? - Pardon?
- Let's keep listening to him. - So I go back home...
and sleep. Then I come back to the shop to work in the evening.
Realistically speaking,
housework such as doing laundry, cleaning, cooking and...
taking care of children is additional work for women.
Don't you feel bad and think you should help her?
I want to help her because she works a lot,
but because I'm in pain...
(He repeats that he's in pain.)
I can't help her.
He doesn't feel well and his lower back hurts,
but he still had another baby.
- Exactly. - I know.
What he's saying doesn't make any sense.
I drink and...
If drinking made you have a child, Dong Yeob would have so many.
(Daddy!)
He goes back home to sleep for four hours everyday.
When he can't fall asleep, instead of watching TV...
- He could clean the house. - Right.
If he could vacuum or dust the blankets,
it would lessen my workload.
You hope for so little.
- I don't expect much. - You should...
keep asking your husband to help you out.
He said you don't usually express how difficult things are.
- I have told him. - Have you?
Yes, I said to him that I'm not a servant, and I'd like to rest.
I asked him to help me.
However, it doesn't make any difference.
She says she has told you.
My wife asks me to help her with housework sometimes.
- So she does? - But...
she doesn't ask me more than once.
So I just let it go.
- Do you want her to keep asking? - She did ask you once.
- This is what I think.
You go out to drink after she asks you for help.
How many times do you go out to drink per week?
Per week?
Be honest.
About 6.5 days.
(He goes out 6.5 days a week.)
He drinks everyday.
- Did you say 6.5 days? - He drinks everyday.
I spend about an hour or two drinking with my friends.
- I never drink a lot. - How much can you drink?
I can drink about two bottles of soju.
- What time do you go back home? - He easily drinks two bottles.
- I come back around 10 to 10:30pm. - About 10pm?
You come back home at 10pm?
Didn't you say you close the shop at 10pm?
I drink after closing the shop.
So you don't work until 10pm?
Instead, you come back home at 10pm after having a drink?
Yes, at around 10 or 10:30pm.
People who work in the office get stressed out.
What stresses you out at the shop...
and makes you want to drink everyday?
People who leave finger marks on rice cakes stress me out.
I get very upset when they press the rice cakes.
- I must have stressed them out. - I want to hit them.
- I also press rice cakes. - When people complain...
about the taste...
What about your wife who also gets stressed out?
Let me ask you precisely.
Do you think about how your wife should relieve her stress?
I haven't thought about that.
See? I'm sure the wife wants to have a drink, too.
How do you relieve your stress?
- My stress? I just suppress it. - Goodness.
I have a question. In your opinion, how healthy...
- do you think your wife is? - Who is healthier?
In terms of health, my wife is much healthier than me.
- It's because you drink so much. - After getting surgery for a disc,
she hasn't gone back to the hospital.
Did you get surgery for a herniated disc?
(Surgery for herniated disc?)
People need to be very careful after getting surgery.
They shouldn't lift heavy objects.
I do everything that requires physical strength.
My wife does things such as preparing ingredients.
- Men usually does it. - One person does 60 percent.
Who works more in total...
when you combine the housework that your wife does?
I don't know because...
- He doesn't do any. - Right.
In terms of work at the shop, about 60 percent of the work...
Who does 60 percent of the work?
My wife.
- Your wife? - She does 60 percent?
This is only considering the work at the shop.
- He doesn't do 60 percent? - I thought he was the one.
(The wife does all the housework and 60 percent of work at the shop.)
We invited their friends who have known them for a while.
Let's meet them. Hello.
- Hello. - Please use the microphone.
How do you know them? Please introduce yourself.
I run a shop next door. I've known them for seven years.
What do you sell?
I sell health supplements.
- Health supplements? - Yes.
What do you think of the wife's worry?
I see that she's having a difficult time.
When I told her to tell her husband about it,
she said he doesn't listen to her at all.
Once, I visited their shop...
and saw her holding a baby in one hand and rice cakes in the other.
I felt so bad for her.
Even before they had their youngest child,
all she did was work at the shop.
I said to her, "You shouldn't work so hard."
"Isn't it too hard for you?"
She responded, "What else can I do? It's hard for my husband, too."
Are you getting teary because you feel very bad for her?
You're not her mother, right?
I'm just a friend next door.
She must feel very sad for her.
I consider her...
- as my little sister. - She's like her family.
- That's why... - Give her some health supplements.
I know.
You should give her some.
- Don't you give her some? - Of course I do.
- Of course. - When I give her some...
- She's such a warm person. - I'm sure she gave her some.
Does your husband help out a lot?
Me? Husbands are all the same these days.
He doesn't help out at all.
What's wrong with husbands these days?
- We're not like that. - Right.
They don't help their wives.
They separate the workload themselves based on gender.
They only do the work they consider as men's work.
I'm also taking care of my grandchild.
I thought I could rest now that...
my children are grown up, but it's not the case for women.
- Right. - For women,
- You have other responsibilities. - work never ends.
When things are difficult, I'd like to have a drink but I can't.
We're now talking about her own worry,
- but you're here as a witness. - I'm sure...
many Korean housewives empathise with what she's saying.
She said work never ends for women.
Who's the person sitting next to her?
Please introduce yourself.
I run a fried chicken place next to their shop.
- That's a difficult job. - They're both good friends.
- I know. - What do you think about her worry?
I'm sure you're aware of it.
One time, her baby, Ji Yeon was sick for a month.
- The youngest child? - When babies are sick,
- they need constant care. - Of course.
Mi Ja fractured her wrist for holding the baby too long.
Her injury didn't get better since she kept doing her work.
She was injured for about a year.
Postpartum care is crucial after having a third child...
especially when she had a baby in her 40s.
How much did she rest before she came back to work?
- Ask her. - Ask her.
Could you answer it?
I was released from the hospital after 2 to 3 days.
He asked me to help him after two days.
- After two days? - When did you get back to work?
I worked at the shop for two hours and rested at home.
I did that for 15 days.
However, since I'm 43,
I'm not as healthy as I used to be.
- I tried to take care of myself... - By yourself?
- For several months... - Since she didn't get enough care,
she couldn't regain her health.
It could last for a lifetime.
That's why she had lost more weight than when she wasn't pregnant.
Who took care of the baby?
- Who took care of the baby? - She did.
She worked at the shop with the baby in her arms?
- Gosh. - I laid the baby down...
on a blanket since all she does is eat and sleep.
When Mi Ja is busy, people in neighbouring shops help her out.
One time, the baby pooped in her diaper.
Since we couldn't change the diaper, we went to the rice cake shop.
We asked her husband to change his baby's diaper.
However, he didn't know what to do and kept waiting for his wife.
I thought that was horrible.
Have you ever changed diapers for your child?
- Can you not do it? - I'm sure he's done it.
After all, he has three children.
Well...
- You haven't done it? - He must find it dirty.
Have you?
I can't change the diapers very well...
- as a man. - I don't think...
she's asked her husband to help her.
She does all the work herself.
- Right. - Even the husband says...
that he didn't know she was having a hard time because...
she was never explicit about it.
As mentioned before, the ways have gotten fixed.
The wife needs to change as well.
I've told him many times, but he...
He said you only said it once.
You need to give him an ultimatum.
(It's time for an ultimatum.)
I think their children are also in the studio.
Let's meet them. Hello.
Hello.
What does the daughter think about her mum's worry?
I think it's a worry.
My mum gets upset at me when she's having a hard time.
I used to ask for her advice when I was worried about something.
She used to listen to me and give me good advice.
However, these days, when I try to talk to her,
she only tells me to study instead of worrying about things.
She's too tired to listen.
- It's because she's tired. - Right.
Have you asked your dad...
for advice when you have any concern, or is that difficult to do?
It feels a little awkward.
- With your dad? - Do you not talk to him that often?
It's awkward to talk to him and hard to approach him.
I can understand.
Doesn't the son talk to his dad?
- How about you? - Do you talk to your dad?
It's uncomfortable to be around him.
What makes you feel uncomfortable?
- Their dad needs to speak up. - What makes you feel that way?
I don't have much to say to him.
Has your dad disappointed you?
The daughter has something to say.
One time, when I came back home,
I smelled cigarettes.
- Inside the house? - He smoked with the baby at home?
Did it smell like cigarettes at home?
- Let her finish the story. - Don't get upset so easily.
Calm down.
- What happened? - I was surprised, so...
I asked Dad if he smoked, he said he did. Then...
I told him he shouldn't smoke when the baby's around.
So he got upset and told me that I nag too much.
Since then, he was mad at me for a week...
- and ignored me for a while. - He was mad.
But you only said what you should say.
She only said what she should say.
- It's not something to be mad at. - But...
If she says it like this, it looks like I smoke all the time...
That was just once.
I was so tired and I didn't want to go outside.
It was just once.
- I don't think so. - I was caught that day.
She nagged me for 20 minutes.
It was too much.
- But you did wrong. - But you wouldn't have...
- smoked in the same room, right? - He couldn't have.
- Did you go to the balcony? - No, in the living room.
In the living room?
You deserved to be nagged.
And you got mad at her for a week?
- That was your fault. - I was thinking that I did wrong,
but when she started nagging,
I got upset.
It's understandable that you and your daughter...
might have fallen apart after that happened,
but you look awkward with your son as well.
We're not awkward, but we don't converse that much.
- You don't talk much? - That's what awkward feels like.
But kids at that age...
- We don't have much time to talk. - Of course not.
- Sure. - I go out early in the morning,
so we don't have time to see each other.
We don't take weekends off either.
What do you think is the biggest problem?
In terms of the relationship between the father and the kids?
It's his indifference.
- Indifference? - Yes.
Even on my birthday last year,
I told him in the morning that it was my birthday,
but he told me he had to go to a friend's concert.
- A concert? - Yes.
He said he'd be back before 9pm.
So I waited.
But even after 9:30pm, he never called me.
He wouldn't pick up even if I called.
The kids and I just got a cake...
- On your birthday. - Yes. That's what we did.
And when I was pregnant with the first child,
I went into the delivery room to give birth.
I thought he would be waiting outside, of course.
But because it took too long,
he went to play pool with his friends.
(No way.)
But...
it was his first time, so it's understandable.
First born do tend to come out slowly.
How many hours did it take?
- I went in at seven... - In the evening?
I gave birth around 8am the next morning.
- 12 to 13 hours? - Yes.
- That's really long. - Yes.
So I had the baby alone.
And instead of seeing my husband's face,
I saw my mother-in-law's face first. Then I cried with her.
Where was your husband?
He wasn't there. He came later.
Did he drink?
He played pool, but I'm not sure about that.
What about when you had your second child?
He didn't know about the first kid.
I felt like my son would come out soon, but he didn't.
So my husband went home to sleep,
but I got contractions and had my son in 30 minutes.
He wasn't there for the second child either?
He was sleeping.
- She had him in 30 minutes. - It was too fast this time.
What about your third child?
As for the third child... Since we run the rice cake shop,
I was working in the morning when I got contractions.
- So I drove to the hospital. - You did?
- Yes. - You drove yourself?
But wasn't your husband beside you?
Yes, he was beside me.
(When she told him about the contractions...)
He said, "Hurry and go to the hospital."
So I went home to get changed...
to go to the hospital.
Then I got there.
When other people have babies,
the family comes around the mum to congratulate her,
but I was just with my baby.
(She was sad to be alone with the baby.)
Why didn't you close the shop for your third child?
It was a Sunday and it was really busy.
We had to take care of the orders. We couldn't cancel everything.
So I told her to take a taxi, but she said she could drive.
So I told her to be careful and that I'll come see her in the evening.
So she left and called me when she had the baby.
What about your first and second child?
- He was... - I was too young back then.
We went to the hospital together,
but I wasn't allowed in the delivery room and I had to wait outside.
After two hours, it was hard to sit and do nothing.
So I went to see my friends to play pool.
When I watched Hello from time to time,
I wondered why the guests would have such expressions on television.
There were times I thought that way.
Now I realised that I'm sitting here with the same expression.
Especially Eun Ji. If someone turned on the channel now to see her,
they would wonder why she's here if she's not enjoying it.
- That's how I felt. - If they don't know the story...
It's because you get upset.
I heard that there's something that especially upsets her.
- I'm curious. - You have more?
You have something more than having babies alone?
There are a lot, but the one that I remember the most is...
- It was before Chuseok. - You must have been really busy.
At that time, my husband and I weren't on good terms,
so we hardly talked to each other.
I was busy making songpyeon.
There is a machine that mixes the filling.
I put my hand inside and it was caught.
As it happened, I screamed out loud.
- That's really dangerous. - Yes.
If that happened,
even if we had a fight...
- he should run over to me. - Of course.
- It should be natural. - Yes.
- But? - He should have run over,
but he was standing above and staring at me.
- Even when you were screaming? - Yes.
Even when your hand was in the machine?
Did you get hurt?
- Of course, she got hurt. - So I drove by myself...
- to a hospital. - You got hurt?
Yes, I drove with one hand.
You must be a really good driver.
You're right.
Why would you mention that?
She always drives well by herself.
Weren't you surprised to see your wife's hand get hurt?
- I was surprised. - Yes.
- But you two were fighting? - When I saw it,
it wasn't bleeding.
That's why I asked...
In my opinion, it was because he was mad at her.
- But... - She went to the hospital alone.
- Yes. - Why did you let her go alone?
- Because of the shop? - We can't just close it suddenly.
We have to keep up with new orders.
- The one near my house closes. - We already took the orders.
You can manage a quick trip to the hospital and back.
She could manage herself.
It wasn't a big injury.
(He's driving me crazy.)
(Am I wrong?)
- But... - Yes.
To be honest, don't you feel a bit confused...
- as to why you're here? - Yes.
- "Did I do something that wrong?" - Right.
You never thought about it before, did you?
There is no need to think about such a thing.
- Everyone... - When I look at other...
rice cake shop owners, they fight like there is no tomorrow.
But we never fight like that.
- The thing is... - Yes.
You might not have felt it because you got so used to it.
She always told you, but you got so used to it in your daily life.
So you don't realise how much she is suffering.
- I don't think I paid attention. - Right.
Then please take this time...
to tell him exactly what you want from him.
Yes, I think it's partially your fault for not telling him exactly.
Tell him in front of all these witnesses.
Tell him exactly what you want from him.
Kim Eun Tae.
I'm getting too tired now.
Instead of drinking seven times a week,
let's reduce it to three times.
And I'm not asking you to clean the whole house.
Can you help me dust the blankets?
She's not asking for much.
And also, pay more attention to the kids. I always tell you...
to talk to them more and to take our son to the public bath.
- But... - You'll be surprised.
Grade school...
(If you understood, just smile in silence.)
- Are you talking from experience? - That's not it.
Did your father get surprised when you were his age?
He'd just help me wash my back and say,
- "You've grown so much." - Right.
Of course.
- We'll start with Oh Young Shil. - Press the button.
The guests today already made up their mind.
You think it's a worry.
It's a huge deal to leave a woman...
alone when she gives birth.
It's when both our hearts and bodies are at their weakest points.
If you weren't there for her then, you should at least...
be there for birthdays and anniversaries...
so you can make it up for her and...
continue making her happy for your future with her.
- Yes. - Yes.
Jin Kyung, is it a worry or not?
- It's a worry. - Yes.
What does your husband do for you in regards to housework?
- My husband? - Yes.
My husband... Well...
Do you just want him to come home?
I'll come back on the show.
- I think that's better. - That will be faster.
- Yes, just come back. - Okay.
Every household has a problem of its own.
Tei.
I think it's a worry too.
Starting with the work at the shop to housework...
and also raising the kids. Our guest today...
had to do everything on her own. If you can relate to her,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
Press the button.
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop. - That's it.
Stop it.
All right, Eun Tae. First of all, can you drink...
- three times a week? - Can you do that?
- Tell us right now. - Can you?
- If it's four days... - How about four days?
- For drinking? - Four days is not bad.
He wants one more day. Okay.
Will you go to the public bath with your son?
- Look at the son. - He doesn't want to go.
We went there together when he was younger.
When I go in there, I feel suffocated.
- Do you? - There are...
- There are people like that. - Yes, there are.
Then how about at home?
(Help him shower.)
Together.
He's 14 years old. You can't do that.
It's weird for them to go in together.
- It's okay if they're younger. - It's weird.
Now what about with your daughter? What are you going to do?
She's 17. Once she gets married, you won't get to see her often.
- We'll talk... - She's too young to get married.
Why is she getting married already?
In my day, we wanted to get married after we graduated high school.
I still haven't achieved that dream yet.
(It has been 30 years.)
- I'll try to talk more often. - Good.
I'll try to make it better.
- Good. - All right.
Now, show us the result.
A lot of people pressed the button.
The last number.
They need 183 votes to win.
Is it 173 or 183 votes?
Could it be 183 votes?
I don't think it's that high.
- Is that a lot? - They almost made it.
From now on, please try to be more caring and nice.
- Yes. - Please pay more attention.
(Eliminated)
You can go back to your seat now.
She does look happier now.
- She does. - Yes.
- Why don't you give her a hug? - Yes.
- Give her a hug. - Come on. You can do it.
- Give her a hug. - Everyone, close your eyes.
(We hope that you will hug her everyday from now on.)
We'll move on to the next story. The next person says...
- that she's suffered for years. - Suffering again?
Is it worse than Mi Ja's worry?
She says that she's been suffering for all of her 14 years of life.
- A 14-year-old-girl? - Her 14 years of suffering...
- She's in middle school. - That's all her life.
The title is "Life Is Bitter".
("Life Is Bitter")
- Is life like medicine? - Hello.
I'm a 14-year-old girl named Lee Da Eun from Iksan.
People compliment me on my looks and my personality a lot.
But there is one person that really hates me.
It's my maternal grandmother.
Whenever she sees me she says,
"All you care about are clothes. What will you be when you grow up?"
"You're too rough for a girl."
"You'll eat men alive."
She always comments on me being a girl.
Is she upset that I'm a girl?
Because to my male cousins she says,
"My cute little puppy, what do you want to eat?"
"I'll make you whatever you want."
"Do you want meat?"
To me she says,
"A girl shouldn't eat so much."
"My puppies can't eat because of you."
"What are you doing? Put that spoon down."
But shouldn't she be nicer when I'm sick?
"Grandma, I twisted my ankle."
"You're such a careless girl. Why did you trip?"
I think I might become a bad person because of her.
Isn't 14 years of suffering enough?
Please listen to my story.
(Please help me get this off my chest.)
Even the elderly these days don't say,
"You'll eat men alive."
When I heard that...
I think this is a very serious worry.
My mother only gave my brother milk because he's the son.
I was upset about that. She also only gave him herbal medicine.
I also heard this later on from her neighbours.
She had put her house on the market.
She used the money to help him out financially...
because he was having a rough time.
- She didn't tell you? - She didn't even tell me.
It really made me upset.
I may look happy and outgoing on the outside,
but I still feel resentment.
If she continues doing that, you and your brother's...
- It will get worse. - relationship will get worse.
I still don't talk to him often.
(Laughing)
- What? - How can you end it that way?
She came here to get this worry off her chest about her grandma.
Come on out.
(Who is the teenage girl upset with her grandmother?)
(Lee Da Eun)
Be careful.
- She's pretty. - She's so pretty.
What's making you so upset?
I have male cousins who are a year older than me...
- and a younger one. - Okay.
- She discriminates... - Okay.
- Is it harsh? - Yes.
They're her son's children and I'm her daughter's child.
I couldn't take it anymore and decided to come out.
- You did the right thing. - You're her daughter's daughter.
Do you all live together?
Otherwise how else would you feel discriminated everyday?
No. My parents, my uncle and my aunt all go to work...
- so they come home late. - I see.
Grandma takes care of the three of us.
That's when I feel it the most.
When do you feel that way the most? Does she give you cold rice?
- Why do you feel that way? - When we eat.
Whenever I eat, she scolds me...
for eating too much and glares at me.
- She does? - That would be upsetting.
- I agree. - When she makes food,
- she only puts it in front of them. - The food? What kind of food?
- Meat. - I see.
- That would be upsetting. - Then...
does she do that only with food or are there other times?
She doesn't give me an allowance either.
- She doesn't give you an allowance? - No, but...
when I'm on my phone,
she will give my cousins their allowance secretly.
- Did you see it? - When you were on your phone,
you saw her give them money?
Yes, I was watching.
You must watch her very closely.
Everyone gets sensitive over their new years allowance.
The amount is different for each person.
- It's by age. - My older cousin got 40 dollars.
My younger cousin and I both get 30 dollars each.
It's the same amount?
But you're older.
You should get 30 dollars and your younger cousin 20 dollars.
Is your older cousin...
- a lot older than you? - He gets 10 dollars more.
- No. - Because he gets 40 dollars.
- We're 10 days apart. - What?
(They are the same age.)
- 10 days? - Then you're the same age.
- You're the same age. - Were you born in the same year?
- Which month? - We're in different grades though.
- Why? - They registered me later.
Is there such a thing these days?
I thought they stopped doing that.
- Let's hurry and meet her grandma. - I'm so curious to hear...
- what she says. - It'd be best to hear from her.
Let's meet her grandma. Hello.
Ma'am.
Hello.
- You just heard her story, right? - Yes.
She's upset about a lot of things.
What do you think about it?
I think that's just her personal view.
Sons and daughters, they're the same to me.
- You weren't discriminating? - No.
Then how come you only give meat to the boys?
That's not it. Ever since he was young,
- Su Han has been a picky eater. - I see.
Since he doesn't eat,
I still have to force him to eat. That's the only way he'll eat.
He eats well.
(What is she saying?)
Who's telling the truth?
(Who's telling us the truth?)
Ma'am, she says Su Han eats well.
Does he?
He didn't eat anything before coming here so I made him eat here.
He ate something he would never have eaten before.
I do worry about Su Han more because...
he doesn't eat. That's why he's sick all the time.
Seriously.
He does look quite weak.
But according to her story,
you seemed to scold her for being a girl.
- That's how I felt. - Does she? When does she do it?
- All the time. - All the time?
She scolds me for being a girl...
but she calls my cousins babies or puppies.
- Babies or puppies. - Babies or puppies.
Don't you think she'd be upset if you didn't call her that as well?
I never called anyone a puppy.
I'm not the type who cares about someone like that.
- Let's ask the youngest. - Ma'am...
What does she call you?
Did she ever call you a puppy?
Yes.
He says it's true.
- I don't remember it. - Let's ask Su Han.
Su Han, what about you?
She just calls me Kim Su Han.
She never called you a puppy?
- She calls me baby sometimes. - Does she?
Do you think she loves all three of you equally?
She likes Su Ho the most.
She only buys snacks that Su Ho likes.
She gives my snacks to him, too.
He sounds like the village head.
Wait.
You talk like you're over 30 years old.
I think we should listen to her side.
You just said that you never called anyone a baby.
I really don't remember it.
- But they heard it. - But...
they just said that they heard you.
I still don't remember.
Then we'll talk to the puppy instead.
(Let's ask the puppy.)
Okay, puppy.
Have you felt like she was only nice to you?
Yes, she gives me more of the tasty things.
If you compare the amount, I get more than both of them.
Were there times when she gave only you and your brother an allowance?
Yes.
- How much was it? - Three dollars?
Ma'am, that's...
Why didn't you give any money to Da Eun?
They must have needed it to buy something. I wouldn't just give it.
When did you get the allowance?
- When she was on her phone. - There's always a reason.
When she was on her phone.
Did you say that you wanted to buy something?
No.
You just gave it to him.
You should think about your grandma before you speak.
- But... - Your stories don't match.
You said you gave it to them because they asked.
I don't remember it.
She can't remember it either.
Come on.
You're not a politician. Why are you doing this?
- Why... - I feel like it's a hearing.
- "I don't remember. I don't know." - This is not a hearing.
- I can see why Da Eun's upset. - Su Ho.
Does your grandma compliment you a lot?
If I do something.
- Like what? - When?
- Like doing the dishes. - You should get a compliment.
- You do the dishes? - Sure.
- What did you say? - She said, "Sure".
- He... - What is it?
- She's frustrated. - You do it more often, don't you?
When he does it, I'm afraid...
he'd break something.
So I tell him to move and I take over.
- You do the dishes. - He might break something.
But the puppy gets all the compliments.
- She doesn't compliment you? - No.
Why don't you compliment her?
She did the dishes.
I didn't see it.
- Did she not see it? - Ma'am.
- She saw me. - She says she didn't.
- She saw me. - I didn't see it.
She doesn't even normally do dishes.
But she says you saw her do it.
(Her resentment has been growing for 14 years.)
(This is a worry.)
This must be hard for a teenager.
They are telling two different stories.
- Right. - Her grandma denies it.
I have experienced something similar.
- I am sure. - I said,
"Grandma, you hurt my feelings." I told her that.
- What did she say? - She asks,
"When did I do that?"
- She didn't remember. - It's the same thing.
- Yes, it is. - It makes it sound...
- like you are overreacting. - Right.
The grandma does it unconsciously.
- She's not aware of it. - "When did I do that?"
She is not doing it on purpose.
Let's ask her mother.
She's been watching them both.
Let's talk to her mother. Hello. Welcome.
Hello.
- Ma'am. - Yes.
Your daughter is very pretty.
- Is she? - She is.
Do you understand her worry?
Yes, I sympathise with her 100 percent.
This is one of the things that happen all the time.
- She once called me in tears. - Okay.
When I asked her why she was crying,
she told me that she had a fight with Su Ho.
Her grandma opened the door to yell at her.
She said, "A girl shouldn't be hostile to a boy."
- That's when it came up. - Yes.
Things like this hurt my daughter's feelings.
She can't help but wonder,
"Why does Grandma use endearments only for her grandsons?"
She feels like her grandma is playing favourites.
Ma'am, do you have any siblings?
- This is my sister. - They look alike.
- Who is the man on her left? - I also have a brother.
- This is my brother-in-law. - I see.
He looks like your neighbour.
(He looks like your neighbour.)
Their father is my brother.
My mother had 2 daughters and 1 son.
Did she favour your brother when you were growing up?
- I bet she did. - No, she didn't.
- No? - No.
- She favoured the oldest daughter. - Yes, she did.
Because I was the oldest daughter,
she would buy me clothes on holidays first,
and she always gave me the food first.
She doesn't play favourites based on gender.
When she was my age, she favoured her oldest daughter.
Now that she has gotten older, she sometimes says,
"It's not like you will perform my memorial service when I die."
These days, she only treats...
my brother and his sons nicely.
- She favours the sons. - That's right.
Da Eun's uncle...
seems very excited to be on TV.
Yes, I am.
- He's just happy to on TV. - Yes.
Have you witnessed Da Eun being mistreated?
Even if she wants to eat something, she can't tell her grandma.
(She can't say it to her grandma.)
- Is it that bad? - Yes.
She asks Su Ho and Su Han...
to tell her that they are craving...
- meat or something. - She asks them to tell Grandma?
Yes.
Grandma never says no to them.
(She has to ask her cousins.)
- She never says no to them. - That's emotionally scarring.
When I have a conversation with Grandma,
- it doesn't last five minutes. - Why not?
We end always up fighting. No matter what we talk about,
the conversation turns into a fight.
From 1st grade to 6th grade,
I had been on the student council.
(She's been on the student council for six years.)
- That's amazing. - Grandma said,
"Don't you take turns?"
"Children take turns being the class president." Like this?
- Maybe she didn't know. - What else did she say?
- Maybe she really believed that. - The thing is...
when Su Han and Su Ho get elected,
she says, "You can be President."
(They are President material.)
She praised her grandsons for their achievements.
I have a question for Da Eun's mother.
I would be upset if my mother treated my daughter in this way.
Have you talked to your mother...
about this matter?
I have asked her to change many times.
Da Eun is a popular girl.
Everyone at school and at the academy says...
- that she is bright and confident. - She is a beautiful girl.
However, she grows quiet once she comes home.
She gets angry. She can't hold in her anger.
- She is angry. - She gets angry...
at the smallest thing.
Since Da Eun gets stressed out because of her grandma,
I decided to keep them apart for six months.
It made her really happy.
- She didn't mind forgoing dinner. - She said,
"Even if I have to eat shop-bought food, I am happy."
- Her words broke my heart. - Of course they did.
(She starts tearing up.)
- Don't cry. - Okay.
(Don't cry.)
You shouldn't shed tears. It's not something to cry about.
Some people might think that Da Eun is immature,
but it's a big worry in her life.
- That's right. - Ma'am,
emotional scars don't go away...
just because you have become an adult.
My acquaintance's mother recently passed away...
and an A-list celebrity couple came to the funeral.
They were given rice cakes...
but the woman is an actress and she has to watch her weight.
She didn't eat it. She just touched it.
You can't just touch rice cakes like that.
- It will stress other people out. - It shouldn't happen.
Touching it should be prohibited.
Since the rice cake was wrapped,
I told her to take hers home.
I did the same thing.
She took my advice and put the rice cake into her bag.
After having seen that,
a senior actress took all the rice cakes from my table...
and gave them to the actress.
I didn't think much of it then, but I got so upset...
when I returned home.
I was a guest at the funeral, too.
I couldn't believe she gave away my rice cakes like that.
- "My rice cakes". - In that moment,
I prayed.
"You should..."
"love your children equally."
(Teary eyed)
Don't cry. I don't know why everyone is crying today.
Please don't cry.
It's nothing to cry about.
I wasn't given milk when I was young.
I only learned from the neighbours...
that my mother was selling the house.
When you grow up with such experiences,
even the strongest heart is broken.
As you know, society favours successful people.
When a child goes through that experience at home,
it's hard for her to take on the world.
- Grandma. - She is right.
You say Da Eun is being immature and you love her equally.
She will have many reasons for tears when she grows up.
You shouldn't hurt a child's feelings.
- I won't. - Listen.
My mother hurt my feelings.
I would have forgiven her...
had she told me her reasons and apologised.
However, she accused me of being after her money.
She said, "You are doing well for yourself."
"It's easy for you to act noble." When you say such things,
you can't make amends.
Jin Kyung, why are you crying?
Jin Kyung.
- Let's wrap this up. - Here is a suggestion.
Young Shil, visit the show with your mother.
Tell us everything that happened at the funeral.
Who is the A-list celebrity? Tell us.
- Tell us. - Don't be ridiculous.
I need to speak on Young Shil's behalf.
We have finally made her stop crying.
Young Shil had helped her mother buy that house,
but she sold it to give her brother the money.
You need to stop with this story.
Everyone is emotional.
(Crying)
Jin Kyung.
(Are you crying?)
Why is everyone crying when Da Eun isn't?
Da Eun isn't crying.
Da Eun is perfectly calm.
Ma'am, why did you have to cry?
Now everyone is crying.
- Da Eun. - Da Eun.
- You should cry, too. - Firstly...
Why are you laughing?
- Everyone is crying. - She is bewildered.
It's chaotic, Da Eun.
Her mother's tears lead to more tears.
Wouldn't it be better...
for Da Eun to be away from her grandma?
Don't make her go to her cousins' place.
I often come home at 10pm or 11pm.
I can't leave her alone in the house.
- Any mother would be worried. - That's right.
I can't help but send her...
to her cousins' place since my mother is there.
- There is nothing you can do. - That's right.
My mother lives...
- with me and Da Eun. - I see.
- She lives at your place? - Yes.
Whether it rains or snows,
she leaves at 6am to see her grandsons.
She does that to make breakfast...
for her son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons.
Is that the reason why you go to their house every morning?
My grandsons are still young.
I can't stop going just because I don't live at their house.
They need my help.
- She is admirable. - That's right.
- She looks after everyone. - It seems that way.
- I am doing a lot of work. - That's right.
I am doing a lot of work.
It seems that way.
Come back next week with that worry.
- Maybe I should. - "Maybe I should."
"Maybe I should."
(Listen to my worry first.)
What do you want your grandma to say to you?
- My baby. - "My baby."
That's what you want to hear the most.
Da Eun, my baby, I love you.
(This doesn't count.)
Say it on a regular basis.
- Right. - Your worry has been resolved. Bye.
(Your worry has been resolved. Bye.)
Is there anything else you want to hear?
- I love you. - I see.
(She wants to hear it.)
- "I love you." - Ma'am.
- Yes. - Da Eun wants to hear "I love you."
Da Eun, I love you.
- Grandma loves you. - Ma'am,
- please make it sincerer. - Da Eun,
this is how much I love you.
Ma'am.
(I still like that.)
(I hope the situation improves.)
All right. Ladies and gentlemen,
do you think it's a worry?
It's a serious worry.
She talked a lot more than Da Eun.
Instead of saying, "I didn't mean to do that",
please make it up to Da Eun with a sincere heart.
- All right. - Jin Kyung, what do you think?
I whole heartedly agree with what Young Shil said before.
Having someone at home who is always on your side...
- gives you a lot of energy. - Tei.
The rips have gotten bigger.
It looks like he cut holes in the jeans.
I don't think it's a worry now.
I think it's a worry...
because it was for me.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop. - Time's up.
Ma'am, please say a few words to your grandchildren.
I love Da Eun, Su Ho and Su Han.
Let's live our lives with love.
You sulk at the smallest things!
You need to stop sulking.
You shouldn't have said that.
You were saying some nice things.
How many votes did her worry get? Show us the result.
Will it be over 100 votes?
- It is over 100 votes. - Will it be 101?
(Will the winner be replaced?)
- It garnered a lot of votes. - It's 121 votes.
She is eliminated.
"Dog Lover".
I am a man in his 30s whose days always end in tears.
(A man who is always crying.)
I have a lovely girlfriend,
but she is...
in love with another.
"My goodness,"
"look at his broad chest."
"His muscular legs are quite impressive, too."
"My goodness, look at his butt."
"He is my type."
The one who has captivated my girlfriend's heart is...
Thor.
It's a dog I started to raise...
a year and a half ago.
(His girlfriend loves his dog.)
The dog has destroyed my relationship.
"Honey, how about we go see a movie today?"
"No."
"Thor will be lonely."
"Let's talk a walk at Hangang Park."
We have been to every park in Seoul...
to take Thor for a walk.
"My body doesn't feel the same. Let's go eat healthy food."
"You are the best. What should we eat?"
"How about eels? Thor loves eels."
I couldn't believe my ears.
It angered me even more that she gave...
the best part of the eel to the dog.
It seems like every worry is related to food today.
"Honey, try this."
"All right."
(What is this?)
"What is this?"
"It's dog food for Thor."
"I want to pick the tastiest one."
"Honey."
My girlfriend makes me even taste dog food.
Isn't that concerning?
What am I to my girlfriend?
- My goodness. - Did she...
really make him eat dog food?
She had him taste different brands of dog food.
- That's too much. - I agree.
- Feeding him dog food is too much. - It's unacceptable.
- Do you think it's unacceptable? - If I were the boyfriend,
I wouldn't date her.
- I see. - We need to hear from both sides.
We need to know why the girlfriend became obsessed with the dog.
It's very difficult for a person to compete against a dog.
The moment dogs hear their owner park the car, they do this.
(It's my master.)
- They get excited. - Did you just imitate a dog?
That's right.
(Dogs are the most loving creatures.)
- She loses herself in the stories. - That's right.
Imitate a dog one more time.
She loses herself in the stories.
- I know. - Please come on out.
(Who is competing against a dog for his girlfriend's love?)
(Kim Gwang Ho)
(Welcome)
How did your girlfriend change after Thor came long?
I's been a year and a half since I got a dog.
Our dates always involve Thor now.
- Thor always tags along. - That's right.
We go to Bulgwangcheon often since it's near my house.
- There is a nice path... - That's right.
along the stream.
Afterwards, we talk a walk around the World Cup Stadium.
Then we go to Hangang Park.
- You walk everywhere. - That's right.
I should have moved to a different location.
Did you really eat dog food? It's beyond my understanding.
She said that she feels bad for Thor since he only eats dog food...
and said we put ourselves in his shoes.
Did you actually chew the dog food or just taste it?
I chewed and swallowed it to get the texture.
- You even analysed the texture. - How did it taste?
The dog food that dogs prefer...
suited my taste.
With Dong Yeob here,
it feels like we are having a discussion on delicacies.
Which dog food did you like the best?
I liked the one that contains sweet potatoes.
- That one was okay. - That sounds tasty.
I am guessing your girlfriend has also tasted dog food.
- That's a good point. - My girlfriend?
She doesn't eat dog food.
It's selfish of her to make her boyfriend eat dog food...
when she isn't willing to do the same.
Maybe she wanted to test his love.
What was your girlfriend like before Thor?
- Did she treat you nicely? - Yes, she did.
She and I had a great relationship.
- She cared about me. - I see.
How long have you dated her?
We have been in a relationship for four years.
We are going to get married.
- Why did she change? - What about physical affection?
Does she show you physical affection?
Whom does she kiss more often, you or Thor?
She gives kisses to Thor.
She doesn't kiss you?
- She says it's nasty. - How long ago was your last kiss?
It has been about four months.
- That's ridiculous. - It has been awhile.
They are thinking about getting married, too.
Have you wondered...
if there is something wrong with you?
What do you mean?
(Sighing)
- What would be wrong with him? - It's just a question.
I don't think there is anything wrong with me.
- I am not sure. - Let's hear from his girlfriend.
All right. Let's meet his girlfriend.
She is holding Thor. Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Thor is a pretty dog. - Yes, he is.
- He is, right? - He is lovely.
He is lovely but... Please introduce Thor.
Thor is a Pomeranian.
He is two years old.
As you can see...
What a pretty dog.
- How cute! - My goodness.
- I think he is so cute. - She can't hide her affection,
even with the dog in front of her.
- It's in the way she looks at Thor. - I haven't seen a prettier dog.
What makes Thor great?
Brag about Thor to us.
He has a great body.
- Please lift him up. - Show us.
I witnessed it earlier.
He has muscular chest like a hunting dog.
He has a narrow waist...
- and long legs. - You are right.
Now, brag about your boyfriend.
- Well... - Tell us about your boyfriend.
He is tall.
(I haven't heard a praise from her in a long time.)
- Go on. - He is tall.
- Is there anything else? - No. He is tall.
(He is tall.)
She has nothing else to say about him.
To be honest, I don't understand why this is a worry.
I debated whether I really needed to come on the show.
You don't think anything is wrong when you fed Gwang Ho dog food.
Eating dog food isn't bad for you.
It's safe for people to eat, too.
- It was an expensive one. - You didn't eat it.
I don't like the smell of dog food.
- It's not like Gwang Ho does. - She is so selfish.
It's been four months since you kissed your boyfriend.
- That's right. - He is sad. Why don't you kiss him?
I think it has been more than four months.
- Why don't you kiss him? - The thing is that...
dogs have such adorable and innocent eyes.
I want to give Thor a kiss if he so much as moves.
- My goodness. - It's different with Gwang Ho.
- Women are practically melting. - I know.
When Gwang Ho approaches me,
his eyes are filled with lust.
- His eyes are filled with lust. - Yes.
- You can't win against a cute dog. - You are in trouble.
- He is a pretty dog. - He can't compete.
Look at his eyes.
(Adorable and innocent)
(Dark and lustful)
When you compare the two together, it's a loss for Gwang Ho.
- This is sad. - He looks depressed.
(You can't win against Thor.)
Don't you feel the urge to touch or kiss your boyfriend?
- Right now? - Yes.
For the past four months.
- No, I haven't. - Not even a little?
- She doesn't love him. - Gwang Ho is becoming a saint.
I think we should come back to Dong Yeob's question.
Is there anything wrong with you?
No, there isn't.
When I try to hold her hand or give her a hug...
- Does Thor growl? - No, he annoyingly...
comes between us.
- My goodness. - Thor gets jealous.
Thor is getting in the way.
Thor comes between them.
We want to know how Thor reacts...
when the couple gets intimate.
Please bring Thor to the stage.
How will it go?
Let's go.
You can tell he's received a lot of love.
He is practically glowing.
- Seriously. - He doesn't seem like a male dog.
- Thor. - Show us how...
you would normally kiss Thor.
- Let's say you just met Thor. - Thor.
She showers him with kisses.
(His lips are twitching.)
How do you feel?
I am jealous.
"I am jealous."
- Please put Thor down now. - "I am jealous."
That's funny.
- Kiss each other. - Let's say Thor is here.
- Be affectionate. - Put your hands down.
- It must be awkward. - Seriously.
Look, Thor.
- He is getting nervous. - Go ahead.
- He comes between them like this. - My goodness.
Kiss each other. Try it.
- Try it. - Give each other a hug.
Hold each other tightly.
Kiss each other.
(He can't help but smile.)
- Try it. - Gwang Ho loves the opportunity.
He really wants to kiss her.
- He wants to kiss her right away. - Give him a kiss.
Hug him and give him a kiss.
- Kiss him on the lips. - They look so awkward.
Congratulations. You should thank me.
Thank you.
He thanked me.
Yeong Ja, give them some space.
Let's see who Thor goes to when people call for him.
That's a good idea. Sit over there.
(Come here.)
Where do you think Thor will go, to you or to him?
Where do you think Thor will go?
- To me. - Of course.
But he might go...
- to one of our guests. - Let's all do it.
- Thor. - Let's include our guests.
Let's all do it.
All of us? I don't think he'll come to us.
- Ready. - Thor.
Here we go.
Go, Thor.
- Thor! - Thor!
(As soon as they start,)
(it's obvious that he's not going to his owner.)
(Where are you going?)
- Go, Thor. - Thor!
(Running)
(Is he going to Eun Ji?)
(He went to the owner's girlfriend.)
He's smart.
He kissed Eun Ji on the way.
- On her hand. - On her hand.
He was looking at Eun Ji as he ran towards her.
(Thor, I'm your master, remember?)
- Let's do this again. - I think Thor...
Switch your seats.
- Sit over there. - You two.
If he goes to Eun Ji this time,
- we'll know what he really thinks. - Eun Ji.
- Who will Thor pick? - Eun Ji.
- You should try to lure him. - Lure him.
- Do something cute. - Thor!
(Go)
(Come to me.)
(Thor, where are you going?)
(He realises it's Eun Ji...)
(and is surprised.)
(It wasn't her.)
(Confused)
Oh, Eun Ji.
In the end...
After having fun with Eun Ji,
- he went to his mum in the end. - He went home.
You can go back to your seat.
(I'm jealous.)
I'm sorry to say this,
but she might be still seeing you just because of your dog.
To be able to see your dog.
That sounds convincing.
Hasn't it ever crossed your mind?
It has.
The good thing is that as long as I keep that dog,
she won't leave me.
- Why don't you... - That's sad.
It's your own dog.
That's so sad.
One time, on my birthday,
- All of a sudden. - Here we go.
- I'm scared.
I thought she was going to cook for me.
She brought all kinds of ingredients.
But it turned out...
- Was it for the dog? - Yes, it was for Thor.
- It was your birthday. - Yes.
- On your birthday? - Yes.
She must have a grudge against him or something.
She did cook me a bowl of seaweed soup.
- The rest was for Thor. - So she did cook for you.
It must have hurt him.
On Thor's last birthday, August 1...
On Thor's birthday?
She wanted to celebrate.
She suggested we go on a trip with him.
- Can you take your pet with you? - You can.
- Can you do that? - Yes, you can.
- You can. - I had other plans for that day.
I suggested we delay the trip for a week.
- Did she go without you? - Yes, in the end.
- She did? - She took a train...
and spent a night.
(A romantic train trip)
I couldn't let his birthday pass without doing anything.
I took him to Pohang by train.
Did Thor like it?
- He loved it. - I can imagine.
He ran after the seagulls and put his feet under the water.
- Were you happy? - It's what couples do.
Your boyfriend should have been there.
Her family and friends are here.
Please introduce yourself.
I'm her little brother, Jae Kyung.
He's handsome.
What do you think about his worries?
I understand him.
One day, it was late at night.
Thor was trembling a bit obviously because it was cold,
but she thought he was sick.
- He was trembling. - Yes.
She called her boyfriend...
and told him Thor should be taken to the hospital.
She was crying.
- Did she cry? - It wasn't only once.
It happens a couple of times in a week.
Did she really cry?
- Yes. - Did she call you at night?
Once, I got home at 5am after working all night.
She called me and said Thor was trembling and throwing up.
She was worried he would die.
I worked all night and just got home.
I had to go over to her place...
and drive for an hour to the hospital.
But it turned out to be nothing.
Are you taking him to the hospital...
a lot more often than before?
Yes. Since my girlfriend started to look after him,
once, she even took him to the hospital 15 times in a week.
- She did? - How much does it cost?
It cost more than 1,000 dollars.
More than 1,000 dollars?
And it was nothing serious?
Did he have any problem?
It was nothing serious.
She makes him get an X-ray every time.
She makes him get an X-ray when he coughs a little.
You don't have to do that.
It might stress Thor out to get an X-ray so often.
Doesn't it expose him to radiation?
Have you ever had a big fight because of your dog?
Thor loves to look out the window on the balcony.
Since the floor is cold,
she covered the floor for him with my blanket.
- What? - Your own blanket?
Yes, I was shocked.
Weren't you worried about your boyfriend?
It was in the winter, and I had to use thin blankets.
- It must have been cold. - He has a heater.
So what happened?
She was turning my apartment into a dog house.
- So for some time... - Did it last long?
- Yes. I didn't talk to her. - For how long?
For about a week.
- How did you make up? - Did she come to you?
- She came to my apartment. - She did?
- Did she come to see your dog? - I thought she wanted to apologise.
- Was it you or your dog? - She said nothing to me.
So she said nothing to you.
She just took the dog out for a walk.
- Without talking to you? - She didn't say anything to me.
- She didn't even look at you? - No.
- Did you go there to apologise... - She missed Thor.
- or to see Thor? - Was it for Thor?
- To be honest, - Please be honest.
to tell you the truth, I went to see Thor.
(Shocked)
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Since he was angry,
he probably didn't take him out for a walk or take care of him.
I was so worried about that.
(What am I to you?)
I'm wondering if there was any problem in their relationship...
before he got Thor.
My boyfriend works too much.
- So there was a problem. - Yes.
He works too much.
We never did anything on my birthdays or our anniversaries.
(He was always busy.)
I couldn't even reach him most of the time.
I'm originally from Sangju.
I feel so lonely, living in Seoul.
My boyfriend is the only one I can rely on.
So she had something to say, too.
- We should listen to both sides. - My boyfriend is always busy.
That's why I became attached to Thor.
Why don't you start a rice cake shop together?
(Running a rice cake shop will solve the problem.)
If he wants to break up with you, how will you react?
She'll take Thor with her.
- That's how he feels. - Exactly.
- How would you react? - It's a good thing...
to love the dog,
but it's hurting your boyfriend.
- Tell him what you think. - Wait.
Why are you crying?
She must have thought about it before.
(What's wrong?)
When I think about breaking up with him,
I'm worried I won't be able to see Thor.
Is that why?
(What did she just say?)
Is that why you burst into tears?
(Shocked)
- I'm sorry. - It wasn't about your boyfriend?
Of course, I'll be sad to break up with him.
She loves both of them.
- I can see that. - You said you want to marry her.
Yes. That's why I'm worried.
- When we're married... - What are you worried about?
You can marry her.
We'll be living together for decades.
If I mean so little to her...
- I see. - You're right.
But she might change. When she has a baby,
Thor won't mean so much to her any more.
She might change.
- Then I'll mean even less. - But as a woman...
- He'll be the third priority. - He'll be the third.
- That's sad. - He'll be after their baby...
and Thor.
Do you have any idea what you could do...
to turn your attention away from Thor?
I don't think I can do that.
I couldn't promise that I'd care less about him.
But I'll try at least.
My boyfriend talks about work even on weekends.
- When he's with you? - Yes.
I'm confused if he's on a date with me or he's working.
That's how I feel.
I hope we'll be able to talk more about our lives.
- I understand. - Without Thor?
- Or with Thor? - We'll talk about Thor.
With Thor?
Then you'll always be walking Thor on a date.
Can't you leave Thor at his family's house or something?
Thor loves me. He's so attached to me.
Didn't you see what he did to Eun Ji?
(He seemed to have fallen in love with Eun Ji.)
- He came to me. - He went to Eun Ji.
Were you disappointed?
It's because he's tired.
- He waited for too long. - She loves him so much.
If you feel that I made you lonely,
- I'll try to work on that. - All right.
Let's say you left Thor at your parents' house.
What would you like to do on a date?
I don't want to talk about Thor.
I want to talk about us.
I won't talk about work anymore. I hope we'll talk more about us.
How much do you love her?
She's the one I love the most in the whole world.
Young Shil, please decide if you'll push the button.
- Okay. - Do you think it's a worry?
- You don't. - I don't think it's a worry.
I hope he'll make her feel that she's the one he loves the most.
She should put herself in his position.
Imagine your boyfriend cares more about your dog than you.
Imagine he gives your blanket to the dog.
If you do that,
you'll realise you should try to change.
I don't think it's a worry.
Fortunately, they're not...
unsure about their relationship itself.
They love each other so much.
- So I don't think it's a worry. - I see.
If you think it's a worry, please push the button.
(What does the audience think?)
In 5, 4,
- Many are pushing the button. - Three,
two, one.
Time's up.
Wow.
Do you want to say something to your boyfriend?
Gwang Ho.
I'm sorry I haven't been nice to you lately.
To be honest, I can't promise you that I'll care less about Thor.
You're his owner as well, so let's take care of him together.
No, you should tell him how you'll change.
Okay. I love you.
(I love you, too.)
Do you want to marry him, too?
Yes.
