Hi. I'm at the scene where
an unknown woman is on Handa Home Shopping roof about to jump.
Yes, everything's fine. Yes.
Alright, yes, I see.
She discovered her husband's affair with Ms. Oh, a Home Shopping employee.
She pitifully took extreme measures at Ms. Oh's Home Shopping work.
The ambulance and police are at the scene.
- Isn't that Dal Ja's Home Shopping? - I think so.
How could a woman seduce a married man?
The wife must be upset if she'd suicide.
I'm reporting live. When she found out Ms. Oh...
Oh my, why's the name Oh?
How unlucky.
Due to danger, safety measures...
No!
Don't do it!
There's nothing between Rep Eom and me.
So come down!
I love my husband.
There's no moment I didn't love him.
It's my fault, sorry.
I can quit my job.
So get down or you'll fall.
No!
Careful! Danger!
No!
Move! What's the situation?
Section Chief Nam went up, but there's no news.
Move, move, move, move!
Be careful, careful...
- Is that woman dead? - She fainted.
Heaven, thank you!
What about Dal Ja?
Dal Ja?
Dal Ja!
- What happened? - Did she fall?
No, she got crushed beneath.
- Crushed beneath? - Crushed beneath?
Oh, how embarrassing.
Excuse me.
Are you alright?
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Your wife hasn't woken.
Well then.
Is the injury serious?
She seem to be uninjured.
I'm asking about you.
I'm really all fine.
Go in.
Sorry.
This is all my fault.
It's already happened.
Take care of your wife.
Don't look back.
I shouldn't have looked back.
Right, now you guys have some gossip.
What happens to Ms. Oh?
It's shameful news.
They'll make her resign.
She can resign first.
Coffee.
It's sad for Miss Oh. Rep. Eom was the cause
but Rep. Oh gets dismissed.
- Why's the woman suffer? - Yeah.
- Something's fishy. - Suicide is extreme.
That woman put on a show because Dal Ja's soft.
Right. How obvious.
Dal Ja, what are you doing?
I was coming to hospital.
You're out so fast?
I'm tough as steel.
This injury is nothing.
Ms. Oh, are you alright?
Go back to hospital.
You don't look well.
I said it's nothing.
Are you ready for the show?
We haven't much time.
Get ready!
They said Oh Dal Ja should stop work today.
Why?
Tomorrow there's a meeting about Oh Dal Ja.
They'll penalise her.
Consider it at home.
Consider it?
She won't get dismissed?!
See, our business targets married women.
But because this news was widely broadcast,
do you know the situation now?
The company is in a mess.
We got customer complaints, not orders.
Customers won't order because Oh Dal Ja is a home wrecker!
Really!
[ Family wrecker ]
[Go to hell! Husband snatcher! Bad woman!]
What family wrecker?
Didn't they part 2 years ago?
Two or 20 years apart, they're married.
Getting involved makes you a family wrecker.
You didn't date Rep Eom.
Why'd she make trouble? To kill you?
You were foolish getting involved.
Whose side are you on?
Me? I'm on the wife's side. Dal Ja, sorry about that.
I have a husband.
If he did that, I’d get tough.
I see.
But Dal Ja can't bear this.
The company never interferes with our personal lives.
Something has to be done.
Don't!
Dummy, why take all the blame?
The company is losing money because of me.
So you'll wait?
If they say to resign, there's no way back.
- I know. - How frustrating!
I’m tired of it.
I hate causing bad things.
I'm embarrassed.
I want no fuss. Forget it. Yeah?
Please just forget it.
Ms. Oh!....
Why look there? Dal Ja's here.
So you're here!
What's up?
They're coming here!
Who's coming?
The disciplinary committee!
Why are they here so fast?
Oh my. Chairman, you're here.
You're busy and came yourself? Would you like tea?
Where's Ms. Oh?
Oh Dal Ja? Oh Dal Ja? Oh Dal Ja?
I'm Oh Dal Ja.
Will my career end like this?
[Go to hell! Husband snatcher! Bad woman!]
That woman is...
What happened?
Our company had a good image this decade.
- Did you know? - Yes, I know.
Do you know how much this damaged our image?
I'm too ashamed to respond.
Then we needn't continue this session.
You should take full responsibility...
Before your decision, I must speak.
What is it?
If Oh Dal Ja resigns, I won't contract with Handa.
What do you mean?
If Oh Dal Ja resigns, I won't work here.
What's your reason?
It's very simple.
Without her, I wouldn't confidently sell products.
These last 3 years I worked with her, our sales were in the top 5
because we chose products we could guarantee.
We even had night strategy meetings.
Because I trust Oh Dal Ja, I sell products confidently.
She's an outstanding employee,
but she'll get sacked to save company image.
OK. I won't work here.
I oppose your rules.
I understand.
But she put us in a difficult situation. We can't accept it.
The culprit can't escape.
I know the instigator is responsible.
I hope you don't use dismissal to resolve it extremely.
I'll think it over.
We'll decide Ms. Oh's penalty at Friday's meeting.
Chairman! I've something to say!
Thank you. I never knew you'd support me.
Wake up. Is this all?
Why not defend yourself?
Isn't work important to you?
You're a fool for not speaking!
You'd give up easily? You should get fired!
- You say that...? - I thought you're professional.
I was wrong.
She had a warm side?
- I'm jealous. - How?
She never showed care before.
Right, if I get fired, I have no hope
I'm too old to beg.
It's my last bit of pride.
Darn.
This number is unavailable; please leave a message...
You should be here.
I was always able to call him.
[My name is Battery, just look at me to charge up!]
What battery charger?
Why's the sofa moved?
Have you eaten?
You had Bean Paste Stew.
Pay your debts.
- Let me say something. - Shut up; pay up.
Give me more time?
No money? Use your body.
Work for me for 10 years to cancel your debt.
That topic's over. I won't work for you, Old Man.
- Fine. 8 years. - No.
- I've no choice; 5 years. - I'm not doing it.
Not even 3?
I won't work even one day. No way, no.
- You stingy brat! - Dad!
Did you call her?
- No, no, not me. - This is crazy, crazy!
My son! Let me see.
What's this?
Oh! How can you beat him?!
Not me. I tapped him.
You beat a cow to death in your youth!
How can you hit my dear son's face?
Let's go to hospital.
- Get an X-ray. - I'm OK, Mom.
Oh my! My son won't worry me.
Oh, my good son! My little baby!
- Back for good? - No.
- So why are you here? - Good point.
I caught him.
Waste of effort, Father-in-law.
That's what I said, Dad.
- Why's your face injured? - Good point.
To catch him, I had to use force.
Nothing else to say?
I'm going, Father-in-law.
I'm going, too.
Wait, honey. Wait, Tae Bong.
It's our first time together in a year, honey.
It's our first dinner together in a year, Tae Bong.
Can't we have a peaceful meal?
Can't we, honey?
Sorry, I've no appetite.
- Honey! - Me either.
- Tae Bong! - See you.
Bye, Father-in-law.
Stop there!
Don't you respect elders?
An old person is eating, but you're leaving?
Sit down, honey. Sit down.
Professor Kang. How can a uni lecturer act like this?
If you dislike Tae Bong as your son,
give me 10 years.
Old Man.
- 8 years then. - Father.
- No choice. 5 years? - Dad!
OK, I know...3 years?
Pretend he's in the army; 3 years is fine.
Tae Bong doesn't want to!
Why do you still bring it up?!
Alright...
The stew's getting cold. Eat.
Tae Bong, eat.
Ajumma, water please.
Honey, eat.
Mom, are you here?
Why's it wet outside? You cleaned the door?
- What are you doing? - I made soup.
Sit down.
It's getting cold; eat.
Yeah.
Eat properly to stay strong
or things won't go smoothly
and you mess up with others. Eat well to work.
- Understand? - Mm.
It's good.
Really good.
Some kids graffitied the door; I scrubbed it off.
Why'd you do it? I can do it.
Is work going badly?
No way. I'm popular, with potential.
- The company's unlucky without me. - That's the spirit.
I should go. I got someone to mind my shop.
Remember the soup on the stove.
Alright.
- Don't get up, I'm off. - I should...
Don't; eat.
Bye, Mom.
Why'd you cook? No wonder you're tired.
- Hi, how are you? - I've been expecting you.
- Come in. - Excuse my lateness.
This looks fantastic.
With a house like this, I'd sweet talk women.
What would you like? Whiskey? Cognac? Beer?
Which one?
A cold beer, please.
What's this smell?
Mom cooked me soup.
But why are you here?
To drink with you
in case you're alone with stupid thoughts.
You have everything. A man here would be perfect.
- Shall I fry Kimchi with curd? - Peanuts will do.
Let's have dried squid.
Wash it properly.
Tornado! Tornado!
See this! Stick on!
It got too soaked. That's no good.
Here, one more.
Tornado! Tornado! Not bad!
Tornado! Tornado! And another one.
This is cool.
It's empty?
Go for it!
Gee, what are you doing?
Clean it later; come and drink.
Come on, drink up.
Drink! Drink!
Stop doing the Tornado. Say what you want.
Didn't you come to talk?
I’ll tell you if you drink this.
Drink it or I won't tell you!
Ok, see who finishes first.
Here, ready, go!
Great pep-up!
That jerk Nam Dae Su treated me like that after 8 years as my boss.
That's two Olympic Games and two World Cups!
Earning a living is hard; his kids study abroad.
What fun is that?
If his kids study abroad, can they head the United Nations?
Do you like him?
Who? Nam Dae Su?
Why'd I like him?
I mean Rep. Eom.
Ah, Rep. Eom.
Eom Ki Joong.
I thought he was my destiny.
My heart beat fast in love.
Is it easy at our age to meet a man like that?
It's not easy.
But my heart shook.
How pitiful.
It's pitiful.
What about you?
Did you love your husband?
I did.
You split up when love died?
- No. - Then?
I wanted love; he wanted something else.
- Want more than love? - Sure. A woman...
loves a man's potential, status and money.
What's a "Cinderella Complex"?
Isn't it status ambition?
Men are horrible.
They used to be humiliated if the wife earned more
but now they rely on women.
It's shameful to use love to depend on a woman.
It's heartbreaking.
It hurts. Men want love; women want conditions.
They should look at a person's potential.
Should someone like me with no potential,
about to lose her job, go and die?
Then act smarter.
Don't waste life on love.
Clingy women tire men. In a year, I felt that.
Love isn't there.
Love makes you want to be together.
After an argument, you're sorry.
You hate her but feel sorry; that's love.
Conditions are needed.
More money is better, but love needs sincerity.
He needs to win my heart.
- Does that love exist? - Of course!
- Why not? - But it's rare.
Here's one. I hope for that love.
Do I know my limits?
- Am I lagging? - Who cares?
It's your life.
I hear virgins over 30 are scary.
Won't men be happier about it?
I prefer experienced women.
Your identity matters.
If you value purity, protect it.
If not, just love each other.
But at my age, I haven’t.
What's wrong? Is 33 a disease?
Why think negatively?
Men are more careful, but women don't understand.
Men show off and play it cool.
So I like experienced women.
- They know men. - Stand firm.
Don't be intimidated or hard on yourself.
Be strong! Don’t be intimidated or hard on myself.
I'm sad seeing a hard-working woman.
Men should work harder.
- You mean Dal Ja? - She must feel bad.
I think you know.
Here, one shot.
Cheers!
Let's go out.
- Go where? - Let's go.
Welcome.
Seon Joo.
- Why are you here? - To drink.
Dal Ja is here too.
No need to find a date.
Hi, I'm Shin Sae Do. Are you free?
Are you two in on this?
How's that possible?
We got busted.
I said it's too obvious.
Let's all drink and dance and reduce stress, OK?
Isn't this a young people's hangout?
Have fun. Don't fuss about age.
Follow me, c'mon, baby!
You have good friends.
That's right; true.
Even trying, I can't do that.
Smiling naturally, talking openly, having fun freely.
I envy them.
They know how to live.
That's right; I shut myself off from everyone.
I didn't live freely.
Want another drink?
Let's dance instead?
That's right; 33 isn't time to retreat
so face it with grit.
The show must go on.
Old Man.
To escape, you need my permission.
- Let me go. - Think of your Mom, punk!
Since you left home, she hasn't slept.
You hate home?
I don't; I just want my own life.
- Only that? - That’s all.
Fine.
Promise, man to man.
Visit Mom weekly.
Call to say hello.
If we call you, pick up. Get it?
Then you'll let me go?
- How about 3 years? - Old Man!
Shh! Your Mom will wake. Leave quietly.
- Thanks, Old Man. - It's Grandpa, brat!
You didn't want to be "Grandpa".
- Do you have money? - I can walk, don't worry.
Keep your promise or I'll kill you.
Alright, I'll keep it.
Here.
This punk's just like me when I was young.
[ Lady Oh ]
Why's she not answering?
Nothing should've happened.
Mister, thanks.
Why'd you get off here?
I want to see you to the door.
Really?
Bye.
Want to sleep over?
Really?
What are you doing?
- Aren't we sleeping? - Yeah, we are, but...
Sleeping.
Bad woman!
You're torturing me to death.
I've never seen that expression before.
How cute.
You need to work this late?
Just take care of a few things.
Thanks for bringing me.
Dal Ja!
If you're alright with it, if you need me, call me anytime.
I'll be here for you.
Rep. Eom.
Not Rep. Eom. It's Eom Ki Joong.
Why are you here late?
Clearing my desk.
What?
I don't want everyone around
so I'm doing it now.
You got your penalty notice?
I haven't heard.
No, I haven't.
But I should prepare.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
Go back to sleep.
[ Oh Dal Ja ]
Why are you here?
You're out of hospital?
Still out of your senses?
What?
You begged me not to jump, but met my hubby?
Excuse me...
- What's that for? - I told you to wake up.
You're not young and dared to see Ki Joong?
It's a misunderstanding.
Was it?
Was it really?!
If you meet Ki Joong again, you'll die.
- You're blackmailing me? - Are you curious?
Keep seeing him.
Then you'll know.
Ji Woo, did a woman pass by here?
A woman? Who?
So you're here.
You weren't at home and I couldn't contact you. I was worried.
Was a strange woman in the lobby?
Her face was pale; she's in a long coat.
The one with a star ring?
- You saw her? - I did.
I saw her in the car park below, and outside your apartment.
The one who slashed your tyres and graffitied your door
seems to be that woman.
- Graffiti? - You missed it?
It's been scrubbed off; I thought you saw it.
What graffiti?
Some kids graffitied the door, so I scrubbed it off.
What's up? Are you OK?
What to do?
That was hard on Mom.
That was tough...
Oh my, Ms. Dal Ja.
What's the matter this early?
Just confront me only.
I won't let you bully me.
I've lived long enough to work hard to be my Mom's blameless daughter.
I wanted to settle this myself,
but I can't because of you.
You spread rumours that reached my Mom.
So what?
What?
Why blame me?
If you'd acted ethically, you won't be in this mess.
Sure. I'm sorry.
I'll apologize 100 times.
- Hey! - Hey! Don't you 'hey' me!
I warn you, don't drag me into it.
Deal with separation or divorce with Eom Ki Joong.
I had nothing to do with it.
If you involve anyone but me again, I won't let you off easily.
Everyone will face a setback.
But pushing wrongdoings onto others is unendurable.
- Is the release ready? - Yes.
What is it? The report comes out Friday.
I know that.
I came to beg one last time.
Beg?
Any position will be fine.
I want to stay.
I spent these last 8 years in this company.
I love making sales and seeing happy customers.
I progressed through hard work.
Please don't take that away.
If you let me stay,
I'll take responsibility for that trouble.
I beg you.
At 33, I learned to give up my pride with dignity.
