[Episode 15]
How are you?
I'm doing fine!
Where are my tears?
I can't seem to cry, no matter what I do.
Well, it's been five years already...
How are you doing?
I'm doing...
Are you Han Mi Mo of 1501?
Yes, that's me.
Your ex-husband sent you this.
What? How do you know?
It's says right there, in bold letters.
What? Wait...
Ex-husband to ex-wife.
What's this? Did he reply?
I just called out for him a moment ago.
I've finally met someone I want to be with.
We've decided to thank each other.
Please come and give us your blessing.
Kim Seung Jae...
Why is he creeping back into my life like this?
You're meeting someone here too?
You too?
If possible, let's sit far away from each other.
I don't want to lose my appetite in an expensive restaurant.
You think I want to sit near you?
Don't tell me, you're...
You're not...
You are?
Huh?
That person is...
Why? Do you know her?
I don't know her personally.
I've run into her a couple of times.
What a coincidence.
I know...
We meet again. Such a coincidence...
What are you talking about?
About that, Brother...
the two of them went to the same college.
Ah, really?
But they don't like each other.
They don't like each other?
Judging from their expressions, I think it's true.
They don't seem to like each other.
You must not like each other, to introduce each other like that.
About that...
The thing is...
This guy was a fan of Goo Seul Ah.
After the angels broke up and I was being harassed by Goo Seul Ah's fans
he was one of the fans who sent letters written in blood and poison.
What?
But that's all in the past. We laugh about it now.
Were you really a Goo Seul Ah die-hard?
I was a die-hard, but she's got the wrong idea.
I wasn't passionate enough to send letters written in blood or poison.
But whenever I saw Han Mi Mo at school, I didn't like her.
She bothered Goo Seul Ah, so I didn't like her.
Have you meet Goo Seul Ah in person?
You have no idea how unlikable she is.
They broke up because she messed with my angelic Mi Mo's temper.
It must've been hard for you.
With a grown man hating you in college.
Weren't you scared?
I was afraid. So I'd avoid him when possible.
That's kind of cute of you, Seung Jae. Everyone's into girl groups at that age.
But at least you didn't have a crush on Han Mi Mo.
Or else, this would be really awkward right now.
- Min Woo, happy birthday. - Thank you.
- Happy birthday. - Thank you.
Tada!
They don't like each other...
But they have similar...
identical tastes?
Soo Hyuk, I think this is positive.
They may not like each other, but if they overcome their differences
they might actually get along, since they have similar tastes.
I guess.
Should we meet every day before we head back to America?
There's no need for that.
I'm just kidding.
Given time they'll probably get along.
Because my Goldfish is a really charming woman.
Soo Hyuk.
I've never met a more lovable, flawed woman in this country.
Even if she makes mistakes, she's lovable.
She's adorable even if she's wrong about something.
And when she's angry, she is so cute.
She's cute when she's mad?
Why?
You don't think that's the case?
No, I guess that's possible.
Shi Ah is probably cute too when she's mad. But she never gets angry.
No matter the situation, she's always understanding and considerate.
Instead of acting brash.
People who've failed in their first marriages feel the need to compensate.
You want to prove that your new relationship is superior to their ex's.
You haven't eaten, have you?
Thank you very much.
Here's some coffee.
- There's such a variety in here... - Wow, this is great!
It looks delicious!
Dr. Hae Joon, would you like to join us?
No, I'm fine.
I have plans. Go on.
- It looks so good! - Wow, this looks great.
Doctor, I think the guy you're seeing is a nice guy.
I saw him earlier, and he seems so considerate.
I envy you!
You think so?
Yes. Don't lose him.
It's hard to meet someone like him.
Enjoy the meal.
Doctor, join us.
Ah, I'm fine. I don't really like sushi.
Really? Then why did he get you sushi?
- I guess there's more for us! - Thank you!
When he shielded me from the eggs, he was like my prince.
He's always gazing at me with those loving eyes.
My goodness...
I get drawn into them.
And how could I not?
Oh my...
Honey, I can see myself in your eyes.
I have that kind of gaze.
It draws everything in.
Especially you.
Seung Jae has his own gaze too.
It's different from yours...
They burn with passion.
Soo Hyuk is lovable from head to toe.
Even his nostrils are lovable.
Take a closer look. They're heart-shaped.
I don't see it.
Take a look from this angle. Min Woo, don't you see it?
At this angle.
The two of you must be in love.
I've fallen head over heels for him.
So I have to be with him at all times.
I'm going to be with him for the rest of my life.
I see.
I can see why you've built a wall between So Eun and yourself.
You've already found your love.
What kind of coincidence is this?
Unbelievable.
Soo Hyuk's younger sister is Kim Seung Jae's...
Thank you.
Pardon me?
Thank you for loving Soo Hyuk.
Ah, yes.
I feel bad for someone else, but you look good together.
I'm glad he's found someone like you.
Please continue to be good to him.
Stay right next to him like you're doing now.
When are you getting married to your boyfriend?
In a week.
What?
That quickly?
We're having the main wedding in America
so we're just going to get together with some friends and family here.
And exchange rings.
Seung Jae's been married before.
So we don't want to make a big deal out of it.
Shall we go?
Yes.
Yeah, Han Mi Mo.
It's really uncomfortable for me.
I never would've imagined that I'd see my ex-wife here.
Dad.
Let's go.
Let's get going.
- Shall we? - Yeah.
What should we eat?
Anything but fish.
You don't like fish?
Yeah, I don't like the smell.
Even fresh fish gives off that smell.
Yeah? Then you don't like sushi either?
I love sushi.
Then let's go there. I can order something else.
Like teriyaki. I like that.
Yeah, let's go.
Is Yeon Soo doing well?
She's the same.
I don't understand you guys. Is it American style?
How could you break up and continue working together?
It's our livelihood.
Those are feelings too.
You know, the comfort of always being near each other.
Feelings?
I want to introduce you to someone.
A girl that Min Woo likes.
A girl?
Yeah, a younger sister.
You had a sister?
Yeah, I do.
Her name's Song Shi Ah.
When I ran away to America
she didn't ask any questions...
and she was there for me.
Back then, I couldn't make sense of anything.
And after some time passed
I was able to see Min Woo smiling and hear him talking.
Shi Ah was the one who made all that possible.
She sounds nice.
Thanks to her, I mustered enough courage to return to Korea.
I wonder what she looks like.
What brings you to my office?
Here.
What's this?
Lunch.
I got something for you while I was out for lunch.
You used to like that.
Enjoy. I've got to get going.
You can be with someone for a year or for a decade
but you'll never completely know someone.
I've only known Goo Hae Joon for a while, but we ended it on good terms.
I thought I knew him well.
Boss, you're here?
She's our office chief. You've met her before, right?
Yeah, I think we've met. How are you?
Ah, you must be the reason my boss seemed strange lately.
Excuse me?
She's been mentally unstable until recently.
I'm so hungry!
I'm heading out for a late lunch.
Eat a lot, until your stomach bursts.
I have to go away for work, so I won't be home for two days.
Work? You've found a job?
Yeah. I can't let Min Woo starve. I'm going to make some money.
That's a relief. Is it something you want to do?
Of course. Don't worry.
I'll get going...
Don't be depressed that you won't see me for a day.
Soo Hyuk.
Yeah?
You know...
Never mind, have a safe trip.
- Mi Mo. - Yeah?
I'll see you soon.
Okay.
How does it feel to see Han Mi Mo again?
Is it still uncomfortable?
I don't see why it would be. I'm not going to run into her often.
But you seem somewhat concerned.
Shi Ah.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Nothing.
Awkward...
What is it?
I wanted to spend some time with you, so I took some time off.
You took time off?
Won't you get in trouble with your goddess for using your vacation days?
Either way, I get in trouble every day.
I might as well get in trouble while doing something I enjoy.
You're a burden to me, man.
Never mind then. I'm going back to work.
Alright, where should we go first?
What's the matter with her?
Why did it have to be him? Why are things so tangled up?
Should I give this to her later?
Song Soo Hyuk, Song Min Woo, Song Shi Ah.
Han Mi Mo, Kim Seung Jae.
[Han Mi Mo - divorced - Kim Seung Jae]
Well, it doesn't get in the way of our relationship.
But I feel guilty. My conscience is at stake.
The heavens know already.
When are you getting married to your boyfriend?
In a week.
In a week, everything will be over.
Han Mi Mo, are you willing to let Song Soo Hyuk go?
Are you going to lose him like this?
Should I ask Kim Seung Jae? I'll ask him to shut up about it.
No, if I did that...
- Eat a lot. - Thanks, Soo Hyuk.
It's really good.
Mi Mo, you're a great cook.
She's good.
Honey, say ah...
Okay, ah...
My little fish seems so happy.
After we got married, she's so much happier.
Here, have some soup.
Let's eat and go to bed early.
- Miss Han Mi Mo? - Yes?
You've got mail.
What's this?
Who is it?
Who is it!
I know about your life with Kim Seung Jae five years ago.
And you're trying to marry Song Soo Hyuk?
Are you even human?
You've ruined your family tree, and you expect to find happiness?
[The Love Notebook]
Terms of endearment.
Write them on here.
Whenever you call on each other, use the pet names that you picked.
Hey! You! Look here!
None of these will do.
Don't refer to each other as someone's father or mother either.
You want pet names, filled with love.
With these pet names, you can be sweet to one another.
Love has come back.
What's that?
It's my homework from marriage camp.
Homework?
Movie dates, grocery shopping, learning yoga, things like that.
Once I complete the activities with my husband, we paste pictures as proof.
The couple to complete the activities first will win tickets to a vacation.
Then you're probably not interested in it.
You wouldn't go out of your way to win vacation tickets.
You can't go because you don't have time, not because you don't have money.
Chief Kwak, did you have any pet names with your boyfriend?
I recently broke up with my boyfriend.
Oh, that's right. I'm sorry.
Well, it's all right.
But we used to call each other Jjajang and Jjambong.
What?
Because we were so different from each other.
Think of something simple, instead of something elaborate.
You don't want to bruise that pretty face of yours.
Did you wait a long time?
No.
I tried to get here sooner, but I'm late.
What did you want to tell me?
Yeah, about that...
What is it?
The thing is...
Why are you so serious? You're making me nervous.
There's something that you need to know.
What is it? Is something wrong?
You look nervous.
To be honest, there's something I need to tell you.
Go ahead and tell me. I'll accept anything you tell me.
Anything?
Yeah. I'm sure you didn't lie about your age like I did.
You're a teacher, after all.
Tell me. I'm willing to forgive you for anything at all.
Did you tell him?
Is that why you're alone?
He dumped you, didn't he?
That's why I told you to end it sooner.
I couldn't tell him.
What?
Why not?
I couldn't do it.
He thinks I'm pure and honest
and I couldn't look into his doe eyes and tell him.
Then where is he now?
Part-time job.
Part-time job?
Yeah.
Dong Mi, this is the reality of you and that infant.
You work full-time, and he's got a part-time job.
Do you understand?
Han Mi Mo, what's the matter?
Da Jung, what am I going to do?
What?
Kim Seung Jae is...
Why did he have to get engaged to Soo Hyuk's sister?
Are you certain?
We had lunch together, so what else could it be?
Oh no...
I think I'll have to let him go.
His younger sister and Kim Seung Jae are getting married in a week.
Hey, what am I going to do about this?
What should I do, Da Jung?
Goodness...
Did you talk to Soo Hyuk?
What will I say to him?
He'll just be shocked.
Still, you should discuss this with him.
When I think about how this will affect Soo Hyuk, I feel bad already.
If it wasn't for me...
If I didn't have so much baggage...
What's the theme of today's assignment?
Vows.
Are you talking about vows between a man and a woman?
Yeah, that kind of vow.
Gosh, I've wasted my vacation days.
Couldn't you think of a more enticing and dynamic theme? Why this?
You've been blessed, man.
That's why you can joke about it.
What?
It's hard to share that kind of relationship with someone.
It's really difficult.
All right.
- We should get something to eat. - I just got started. Chill out.
Ah, look at them.
Hey, there's a couple over there.
Get a shot over there.
One, two...
Hey kid, out of the way.
One, two...
- They keep looking at us. - Hey, they're looking.
- What did I tell you? - Wait. We don't have to hide.
Keep taking pictures.
Smile for us! Smile.
If you think about it, vows are nothing more than a formality.
You declare your marriage in front of witnesses
but you don't have to register the marriage.
If you did register it, you can just get a divorce and walk away.
The promises you make before the wedding are easily forgotten.
I still want to try it.
I'd retrieve the stars and the moon for her.
You're creeping me out. Do people still say things like that?
Why, does it seem childish?
There's nothing more uncertain than the stars that move in the sky
and the moon that's always changing it's appearance.
Why don't you make your vows on something different?
There are many things that never change.
Let's see...
Everything eventually changes.
But what's important is how they change.
Seung Jae, I need to ask you for a favor.
You give up on her. I can't live without him.
I'm getting older and like you said, my anger will drive men away.
And I look ugly when I cry...
Maybe that's too pathetic.
Seung Jae!
- Hey, Sister-in-law. - How are you, Brother-in-law?
Wow, both of you look pretty today.
Of course.
Where should we have dinner?
Song Soo Hyuk.
What's going on? You're here without any notice.
I just stopped by on my way home. Because I missed you.
Just give up on one of them.
There's no way for everyone to be happy.
After you decide what's more important to you, won't it be easier?
A woman told me as she walked away from me.
That you should spit and forget about her.
Thanks.
No, it's all right. I'll do it.
Why? I wanted to help you rinse.
No, it's okay.
If you get detergent on your hands, you'll get those dreaded wrinkles.
That's right. I would...
Go and get some rest.
Okay then.
Hello?
Something isn't right. There's got to be something.
What?
He doesn't let me do the dishes, take out the trash, or iron the clothes.
I went to bed before him, and he filled the humidifier with fresh water...
and said good night to me.
Wouldn't a normal man complain if he's doing all the chores
and I'm heading to bed?
It doesn't make sense!
He's being good to you. Why are you so suspicious of him?
He works for a beauty company, so I'm sure he got some advice there.
You should feel lucky, instead of being suspicious.
The fact that he's perfect means something's wrong.
Don't you remember what happened at my wedding?
I'm starting to get that uneasy feeling again...
This is a diversion.
You're bordering on delusion right now.
No, I'm going to find out what's going on.
[Terms of endearment]
What should we choose?
I'm not sure.
How about this one?
Lovey and dovey?
That's corny and overused.
Right?
What about this?
Sweetie and honey?
Sweetie and honey... There's no ring to it.
Chief Kwak in my office used Jjajang and Jjambong.
Because their food preferences were so different.
That's kind of cute. Should we use that?
Jjajang and Jjambong?
It's not too cheeky, and it's kind of appetizing.
Which one do you want to be?
I'll be Jjambong. Why don't you be Jjajang?
That'll work.
Let's write it.
[Baek Jjajang]
[Kim Jjambong]
Since we decided on pet names, should we complete an assignment too?
Number 1?
[1. Go grocery shopping together and share a homemade meal together.]
Shall we?
Song Soo Hyuk's female friend who lives upstairs.
It's telling you that it's incorrect, so why don't you give up and go home?
Min Woo told me that this is the code...
What?
5995959?
How did you know?
It's tacky, so I changed it.
What? What gives you the right to do that?
I'm still his girlfriend, so I think I reserve that right.
I didn't want his female friends going in and out of his house.
Give me the code.
If I was going to tell you that, I never would've changed it.
Stop being anxious and go back home.
Besides, you might get your chance with him after all.
Loving you, loving you Loving you, loving you
Until my heart stops beating
This kind of unusual excitement
I'll love you...
[Promiscuous Goldfish]
Is she asleep?
What business could we possibly have with one another?
I think we should work out our relationships instead.
Our relationship was settled five years ago.
This is the business I want to settle with you.
Don't tell me that you didn't file the divorce papers five years ago?
Are you trying to freak me out?
Then what's in that manila envelope?
Take a look yourself.
[Insurance Beneficiary Transfer Form]
This is...
I didn't want to close it, so I kept paying into that policy.
But if something happens to me, you'd still be my beneficiary.
I asked the insurance agency, and they told me that even if we're divorced
as long as you remain on the policy, you'll end up as the recipient.
So what?
I want you to sign the release form.
Change the contract and the beneficiary to my name.
Hey, Kim Seung Jae.
I'm not asking for much. I've been paying into that policy.
So you wanted to meet me after five years to take care of this?
Do you realize how much I've paid into that policy?
Wouldn't you ask the same from me?
I don't see the issue.
You still don't know how to handle your emotions.
Hey, after meeting you and Song Shi Ah today
do you know what I've been going through?
Now you're overreacting again...
Wouldn't you be worried?
You're going to get married soon, so you don't care?
What are you talking about.
Forget I mentioned anything. I'll just give up on it.
Yeah, you give up first.
All right. Keep the policy. Or just burn it.
I said give up.
And I said I would!
I'm telling you to give up, don't you know what I mean?
What now?
I can't let Song Soo Hyuk go.
So you give up on her.
Why's this coming out of nowhere?
Coming out of nowhere?
Are you insisting that I have to give up on him?
What?
Or do you want to do this the hard way?
I'll forget we were ever together, and I'll just marry Song Soo Hyuk too!
What the...
We'll become family members again.
We can try to hide it all we want
but the truth will come out once we fill out the family registry.
- If I don't give up. - What are you saying?
About that, Brother...
Brother.
You're laughing? Is it funny? This situation?
It is funny. Don't you think so?
Let's not do this the hard way.
The fact that you're even considering that is making me laugh in disbelief.
That's how precious Song Soo Hyuk is to me.
But this isn't right.
Even if you love him, there are boundaries you shouldn't cross.
Let me help you decide.
We're getting married in a week.
Isn't it obvious who should give up on who?
What do I...
Why are you standing in the rain? You'll catch a cold.
What?
I've written my reasons on this.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
I've carefully considered this.
Is this about our age gap again?
You'll understand once you read it.
Are you sure?
Yes.
All right.
I'll read it.
Then...
Aren't you going?
I'm getting ready to leave.
I wrote my feelings on that note. You'll know how I feel once you read it.
Because I wrote my feeling on that.
Okay.
It's raining, so be careful.
Yeah, bye now.
Jung Woo, to be honest, I subtracted three years from my real age.
So we have a nine-year age gap that cannot be overcome.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't look into your doe eyes and lie to you any longer.
But I want you to know this.
It was all because I didn't want to lose you.
I thought about it, and when you were being fed baby formula
I was in school learning multiplication and fractions.
Fractions...
Yeah, I learned about fractions.
I think it's time we cut our losses and let each other go.
I need to meet a decent man my age and get married.
I hope you can be understanding.
I'm sorry, but we have to break up.
Dong Mi.
He didn't even try to hold onto me, like he was waiting for this.
Yeah, Ae Ran was right all along.
If I stalled any further, he would've just thanked me for the good times.
Gosh, my world would've come crashing down on me.
Yeah, I hope you have a good life, Ahn Jung Woo.
Oh, I think my umbrella is broken. It won't open...
There it goes.
Why are my shoes so uncomfortable?
My feet hurt.
Is that the only thing that hurts?
Huh?
What about your arms, legs, and your head?
This is why inexperienced women are a headache.
Go Dong Mi, be honest with me.
You haven't been in many relationships, have you?
How did you know...
You're not supposed to say that you want to break up that easily.
What do you mean?
I'm trying to break up with you right now.
You dummy.
This isn't a breakup letter.
It isn't?
If you really wanted to break up, all you have to do is say it once.
There's no need for elaborate explanations.
This is a confession letter, telling me how much you like me. You dummy.
Dummy.
Don't get any more ridiculous ideas, okay?
Go Dong Mi, don't take my heart and disappear.
Just wait. We'll overcome our nine-year age gap.
Just watch.
Do you have an umbrella?
Yeah.
Wow, it's really pouring.
I need to go meet someone.
Right now? At this hour?
Yeah, it's important.
Okay. Try and stay out of the rain.
Okay.
Don't sit here crying, okay?
You're ugly when you cry.
Let me help you decide.
We're getting married in a week.
Are you having fun?
Excuse me?
Do you like watching your ex-wife suffer?
We've been running into each other lately.
She made me angry
and I didn't see the need to tell her since she'd find out eventually.
Haven't you considered the heartache she's going through?
I can see why you two didn't work out.
What did you say?
Don't hurt Shi Ah. She means a lot to me.
I don't think I should see you again
because of my woman.
As of now, I plan to be a disappointing brother to Shi Ah.
So be good to her.
I'm sure you will.
Yes.
The documents are prepared.
Right now?
Yes, I understand.
You're not asleep?
When did you get back?
Just now.
You were like this the whole time?
Soo Hyuk...
Soo Hyuk, we...
We need to break up.
Mi Mo.
I see. So that's who she is to you.
I'm sorry for complicating things.
Well, I can't say that I'm thrilled, but this won't ruin anything.
Soo Hyuk and I aren't really related.
We're just really close, so we consider each other family.
But you are more important to me.
Thanks for being understanding.
And I'm sorry.
Kim Seung Jae, that...
I'm sorry, Goldfish.
You were suffering alone, weren't you?
I'm sorry, okay?
I really...
I'm sorry, I should've made our relationship clear.
That was my fault, I'm sorry.
Why did you introduce her as your family?
Why didn't you tell me that she's just a close friend?
And why do you share the same surname?
I'm sorry.
Song Soo Hyuk!
Soo Hyuk!
What are you doing in the hallway in the middle of the night?
What if Min Woo sees you?
She's that little sister's younger sister.
Oh, I see...
I want to stay with her and watch...
even if she changes, as long as she doesn't leave.
That's all I care about.
Tell me how you feel after you live with her.
Soon you'll want your own space
and you'll rejoice if she leaves for vacation.
And you'll learn to envy those weekend couples.
Why, you...
It's true.
[Marriage Registration Form]
I recognize exactly who this is.
Well, I don't!
Are you cheating on me?
Hong Ae Ran.
Then why did you put a lock on your phone?
If you've got nothing to hide, leave it unlocked.
You unlock yours first. Then I'll unlock mine.
Give me a day.
It's no use.
If I were cheating, I'd get rid of all evidence by tomorrow.
I don't want you to think I'm waiting on some windfall.
Did you have fun watching me worry about nothing?
Someone already scolded me for that, so give it a rest.
- Who did? - You don't have to know.
We really wear each other out, don't we?
We did, because neither of us wanted to lose to the other.
Shi Ah is perfect for me.
Song Shi Ah, I'm thankful for her.
I don't know Song Soo Hyuk, but I wish you well.
He only cares about me.
He's different than you because he doesn't toy with my emotions.
No matter the situation, he always puts me first.
He's always worried whether or not I'll be hurt.
It makes me want him even more, comparing him to the likes of you.
I'm asking because I'm curious...
Is that effective at all?
Pardon?
I mean, it only affects your immediate vicinity
so I can't see how it's very effective.
Oh my!
See? The germs can easily break through that barrier.
You should build up your immunity, or you'll suffer later in life.
You need to get hurt once in a while.
Oh my, how could you say such a thing?
Good luck.
Oh my!
Who posted all of these papers on the wall?
Your friend did this, didn't he?
Please tell him to clean this all up!
I'll tell him.
You better!
Even if the road to you is a painful one filled with countless jagged rocks.
I don't love you because I want to love you.
I love you because I've got no choice but to love you.
Would you say to me that I was in your heart, all along?
If you find me here someday
I always was a dreamer, wished for a rose in December
If you remember my voice, my promise
[The most precious person to me...]
I like...
sexy Han Mi Mo...
Han Mi Mo, the human...
hard-working Han Mi Mo...
overly confident Han Mi Mo...
innocent Han Mi Mo...
I like them all.
But the Han Mi Mo that I love the most is...
a happy Han Mi Mo.
If I promise to make you laugh like this every day...
Will you...
marry me?
Yes, yes!
Please say yes!
Soo Hyuk.
I have something to tell you.
As if you brushed past my heart, you came to me and shook me up
I didn't know my heart loved you, that my heart was fluttering
Your bright eyes, my trembling hands
