It's raining hard.
On a rainy day like today, we're reminded of this song.
It's "Like Rain, Like Music".
I'll kill you.
What was that?
What is it?
It's a murder case.
She killed someone?
Her? Why?
Who knows.
It could be revenge or a love affair.
We'll find out, I guess.
Gosh.
(Episode 1)
So your husband had an affair.
Yes, with a female colleague at his work.
(3 weeks ago, SJ Law Office)
How can he do this to me?
How can he do this behind my back?
Don't cry.
Since it came to this,
we'll get you the most you can get out of this.
Divvy up the assets, and receive child support.
Let's see...
He got rid of the dash cam in his car.
He also cleared all of his call records.
He's a meticulous person.
Yes.
That's why I bugged his car.
He somehow found out...
and he told me...
he won't give me any compensation.
Gosh.
I even went to her house.
I wanted to kill her.
Then she locked up the doors...
and threatened to call the police.
She started to yell at me.
My goodness, what a...
witch.
I'm the fool.
It's because I'm stupid.
Ms. Lee Jung Soon, please stop crying.
Ms. Lee.
Ms. Lee, stop. Stop.
- Ms. Shim. - Your husband cheated on you.
You're not the fool.
Because I was fooled by him.
(Jung Na Mi)
Manager.
(Honey, meet me in the parking lot in 10 minutes.)
Honey, meet me in the parking lot in 10 minutes.
Your husband planned to lie to you.
How could you have known?
I'm saying, it's not your fault.
Ms. Lee, you're not a fool...
nor are you stupid.
- Ms. Shim. - You bugged his car,
and you even went to his lover's house?
Under Article 19 of the Criminal Code,
trespassing can get you three years of imprisonment...
or up to 5,000 dollars in fine. Did you know that?
Illegal tapping, according to...
Protection of Communications Secrets Act,
can get you a year to 10 years in imprisonment...
and under five years of suspension of qualification.
Did you know that?
Ms. Shim, even if the evidence was collected illegally,
the truth is more important...
in family lawsuits than one's own interest.
An exception...
It could be accepted as an exception,
but her husband and his lover...
won't sit still and wait.
He can frame you...
as a mad housewife who is delusional and obsessive.
You might not get your share of his wealth.
What will we do then?
Ms. Shim, are you out of your mind?
You must not be carried away by your emotions.
You must be rational and calm.
Do not...
blame yourself.
Don't criticize yourself either.
Don't you see?
You have the upper hand here.
More than that, listen to your heart.
Do you really want a divorce?
Are you getting a divorce to punish your husband?
Do you have your life planned out after divorce?
What will you do with your kids?
Is divorce the only way?
Be calm and strategic.
You need to have it all planned out...
then take him out with a single strike.
Meanwhile,
you need to build your own capabilities.
Your kids are all grown up now.
You can do things you always wanted to.
A cheating husband? Think of him as an ATM.
Take his salary and put it in your pocket.
Then dress yourself up well.
From now on,
your second heyday will start.
(Ms. Perfect)
The person you're calling is not available. Leave...
Honey, why are you so hard to reach?
The house we looked at got leased.
The landlord didn't want us because we have two kids.
Na Mi, be quiet.
What were you doing? Why didn't you pick up?
- What do we do now? - What do you think?
We have to find a new place.
Gosh, I told you we should act fast.
You said it was fine.
The landlord told us it was fine.
She looked like a nice lady.
You really don't have an eye for anything.
Well, what did I expect from you?
- I'm sorry, honey. - I don't care.
Start looking. I'm going to start looking too.
We only have two weeks until we have to move.
Okay. I'll start...
Jin Wook doesn't want to transfer, so don't forget.
Hold on, honey.
- Yes, Mr. Cho. - Where are you?
Also, if it looks good, put in the deposit.
Hello?
Gosh.
Where have you been?
Are you having an affair or something?
Look at this.
You had zero last month and zero this month.
Zero. Zero. Mr. Koo Jung Hee.
Do you come to work for fun?
Go. Go.
Go and beg on your knees, I don't care.
Do something and turn those zeros into numbers. Go!
What are you doing?
Are you trying to play tag?
Go. Go!
Go!
I'm dizzy.
Sir, you should eat lunch.
What?
- Is it lunchtime already? - Yes, it's been a while.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Ms. Jung, you should eat.
Gosh.
- Let's go. - Sure.
Where should we go?
Rita, have you had lunch?
Hello, Blue Rose.
I'm about to eat.
Enjoy your lunch.
It's about the house I told you before.
They say you can see it today.
(Do you want to take...)
If you haven't found anything yet,
do you want to take a look?
I feel like the place is a good catch.
Thank you for thinking of me.
- However, I'll... - When I told them you have kids,
the landlord was really happy.
It looks like your son wouldn't have to transfer.
Then should I go take a look?
Breathe out. Good.
We'll go one more time. Okay.
Blue Rose?
That aspiring lawyer boyfriend of yours online?
What do you mean boyfriend?
An online boyfriend is still a boyfriend.
Anyway, you're going to see the place now?
Yes. We have to move out in two weeks.
I'm just going to check the place out.
Still, you don't even know what he looks like.
How can you trust him?
I've known Blue Rose for three years already.
We just haven't met yet. He helped me so much.
He gave me teaching materials, sample questions,
and even his own notes.
Hye Ran, I'm here.
- I'll talk to you later. - Hey, Jae Bok.
Hello. Are you here to learn pilates?
Excuse me,
- do you know Blue Rose? - Pardon?
The person that introduced me to this place.
I'm not sure. I was just told by my boss.
I didn't see him at the realtor's office.
He's on a business trip to China.
I got the message through a call.
- I see. - We're here.
I think we're at the wrong place.
I'm looking for a lease or a rental.
Yes.
Excuse me, I think you got the wrong place.
I can't rent out a place like this.
Let's go inside.
But...
This way.
I'm just going to go.
I can't live here. I can't afford it.
- I better go. - Hello.
Yes, hello.
I'm sorry, but I think I came to the wrong place.
My apologies.
You're at the right place.
- I heard you have kids. - Yes.
- I'm sorry. - I'm glad you're here.
Welcome.
Do you like it?
- Were there kids here before? - My sister's kids.
They immigrated to Canada last month.
- I see. - Do you have a daughter or a son?
I have one each.
Then it's perfect.
My sister had a daughter and a son as well.
This is great.
Still, this place is too big. How much...
I'll only take what the realtor told you.
It's okay even if it's less.
What do you think?
I'm not sure...
It's such a nice place, and that's an amazing offer.
Thank you for your time.
It's been...
five years since I got married.
Yes.
I don't have a kid yet.
We tried many times,
but it hasn't worked.
I love kids a lot,
so my sister moved in because I begged her.
Then she moved away.
The kids used to chat here like little birds.
They were so cute and lovely.
I miss my niece and nephew.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Here.
I made some sandwiches.
I heard you were coming during your lunch break,
so I figured you haven't eaten.
This is a bribe.
You have to move in, okay?
I want a happy family...
with cute kids running around...
and laughing as my neighbor.
She's kind of strange.
Even if her niece and nephew left and she's lonely...
But then again, it must be lonely in such a big house.
"K and H"?
Really? May I take a look at the house today?
Yes. I'm just about to leave work.
Yes. Okay. I'll be there by 7:30pm.
Okay.
I'm so sorry,
but I need you to do something right away.
- Today? - The construction cost claim.
They called to say the site inspection is next week.
The preparations must be completed by morning.
You want me to work late again?
I worked four nights already this week.
You don't have to.
I'm sure you have a lot to do since you're a mom.
Hold on. Then...
should I ask Mi Hyun since she's single?
You know, the one who's after your job.
Mi Hyun.
You're throwing a tantrum, aren't you?
You're angry that I sent back that divorce client.
I am not.
Tomorrow, you'll announce who will be made full-time,
so you figured this is the perfect timing.
And you get to torment Shim Jae Bok...
who is terrified that she won't get it.
What do you mean?
Look.
This isn't because...
I'm terrified or trying to kiss up to you.
I'm sick of hearing you talk about my being a mom.
Moreover, I never walk away from my responsibilities.
That is why I will work late again tonight.
Such arrogance.
Okay, then. Work hard. I have to meet a client.
A client?
Where? At a club?
On a bed?
Okay. Text me the realtor's address.
I'll go to the house now.
I'll pick up the kids too.
Where are you going?
Don't you know we have a client dinner?
You need to get a contract.
Goodness.
What?
Why can't you ever be useful?
I'll take a look tomorrow morning.
Forget it. I'll go.
I'm sorry, honey.
If you're sorry, get the deal through tonight. Okay?
Okay, I will.
What do I do?
What else? I'll just do it all.
Hi, Won Jae.
Fine.
I'll tell my nanny to pick up Jin Wook and Hae Wook.
Sorry.
I feel bad asking Mother three nights in a row.
I'm sure you feel bad. Toward me too.
Good night, professor.
What can I do? I should help since I can.
Yes. I'm about to get on the subway.
Can I see the house...
- Already? - The people who just went to look...
signed the lease right away.
I see.
Goodness. Your glass is empty.
Please let me.
Goodness.
All together. Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Cheers!
Have another shot. Here you go.
- Are you having fun? - It's the best.
This time,
how about Mr. Koo sing a song?
I've been singing the entire time.
He says he wants a solo.
Change the mood a little, okay?
Go on!
- Change the mood? - Yes.
Okay.
(2002 Sehyun University auditorium)
Has that jerk lost his mind?
Hey, punk. What do you think you're doing?
Are you the star here?
That's it. He graduated from a top university, right?
Are you showing off right now?
It wasn't a top university.
It's just a university in Seoul.
Send him out. Send him out!
You're out. Out!
Get out. Get out.
Get out. Get out!
- You said to change the mood. - Get out!
Darn it.
Sorry, honey.
I just got out.
I'll hurry over.
(Na Mi)
Hi, Na Mi.
Jung Hee.
Are you drinking again? Did you drink a lot?
No, just a little.
You poor thing. You can't even drink much.
Be careful. Don't fall again like last time.
Okay.
(Jae Bok)
(Sorry honey, I'll hurry over.)
Sorry, honey. It's going longer than I expected.
That's what I thought.
Hello. I'm Jin Wook's mom.
Jung Hee.
I can't stay long. I'll leave in a bit.
How do you live like this every day? It must be tiring.
Goodness.
It'll be better once I'm a full time employee.
- Do you think you'll make it? - Naturally.
I've been acknowledged as being a good worker.
Yes, you are a good worker.
It's just that you have no luck.
I have plenty of luck.
That's right. Remember your first love, Cha Kyung Woo?
That was so long ago. What about him?
- My assistant is his wife's... - Mom!
- Hi, Jin Wook. - Why are you always late?
Sorry, son.
- Gosh. - Hello, ma'am.
- Hi, Che Ri. - Jin Wook must've hit puberty already.
He's so irritable.
- I am not. - See?
Jin Wook.
Sorry, Che Ri.
Didn't Hye Ran say she'd be stopping by?
I don't know. Maybe she's very busy.
She's probably on a date.
As per my mom, a meaningless date.
Che Ri, when did I say that?
But you did.
Hey there.
Room service.
Coming.
Oh my gosh! Honey!
You're checking out land? What?
What land?
You call her "land"?
Are you here to learn Pilates?
- The client from earlier? - "Client"?
You seduce my husband and call me a client?
What? Husband? Honey!
Aren't you divorced?
Well, not yet legally.
"Honey"? How dare you call him "Honey"?
I really didn't know!
I really thought he was divorced.
I think you have the wrong idea...
- You got this all... - Girls!
- Yes? - Yes?
- Get her! - Okay!
Wait! Wait!
I really didn't know.
I don't go for men who are taken.
As attractive as I am, I have my rules.
- Honey? - What?
- Get her! - Okay!
Why you...
Hey.
Stop it! Please!
Stop it!
Get her!
Stop!
Oh, no!
Where is she?
Go look over there.
What is this mess?
I'm so cold.
- Go back in. - Just up to there.
- You'll catch a cold. - Let's go.
Why won't you listen?
I'm so glad.
Okay. You'll catch a cold.
This is so nice.
Jung Hee?
You never listen.
My sweet Jung Hee.
Are you going to make lunch for me tomorrow?
My goodness.
It's okay.
I'm not like that. I'm...
Sorry, honey.
You look fine. I guess you didn't drink much.
Yes, I did.
You did?
Put on some lip balm.
Your lips are all chapped.
Okay.
Stop licking your lips.
- Okay. I'm going to wash up. - Hold on.
I smell like alcohol and smoke, right?
No. Did you go to a bar...
where women drink with you?
What women? No.
No, I can smell perfume.
- What is that smell? - What do you mean?
I sat next to a woman on the subway. That must be it.
She wore so much perfume, she gave me a headache.
So, we can take a look at the house tomorrow, right?
- I'll go. - It's been rented already.
I have to find a new place tomorrow.
Already?
I know.
We'd be fine if you didn't cosign your friend's loan.
Sorry. I'll look tomorrow even if I have to take...
- a half day. - Forget it.
I don't expect anything from you anymore. I'll do it.
- What? - Nothing.
I feel like I'm always disappointing you.
I can't do anything right.
Why are you being like that again?
Did Mr. Cho nag you again?
Just ignore jerks like that!
Wash up and sleep.
Okay.
Don't get water on the bathroom floor.
Okay.
You had zero last month and zero this month.
Zero. Zero. Mr. Koo Jung Hee. Go. Go!
Why you...
Darn it.
I feel like I'm always disappointing you.
I can't do anything right.
Are you asleep?
Don't be too stressed.
You just joined the sales department.
You'll do well once you get adjusted.
He used to have a full head of hair.
Honey.
You're not sleeping, are you?
Do you hate doing it with me that much?
That's not it. I'm just so tired.
Honey.
(Won Jae)
Jae Bok, I didn't get to finish earlier,
but Kyung Woo's wife has a blog.
My assistant is a follower.
I'll send you a link.
I hear that blog is quite famous...
among married women.
Kyung Woo. I guess you've been well.
His wife must be pretty.
My first love, Cha Kyung Woo.
If I had become his wife...
instead of this woman,
would I be...
happier than I am now?
Would I?
Wait for me!
Thank you.
Seriously.
Hello. Good morning.
Please stand clear of the closing doors.
Let's squeeze in.
Hello?
Right now? Sure.
Hello. Good morning.
Hello, Ms. Kim.
Hi, Jae Bok.
He'll be surprised to see that I finished all of this.
Shim Jae Bok?
Yes?
May we have a talk?
So...
you want to kick me out, is that it?
What do you mean, "out"?
Your term with our firm ends next month anyway.
I'm just telling you in advance.
You said there are plenty of firms that want you.
- And that their offers are great too. - That was...
Our law firm can't afford that much,
so sadly, we decided not to be greedy about you.
You can be greedy.
I'm not saying I must get paid the same salary as now.
Considering the bond we've formed over time,
I am willing...
to be accommodating.
Then...
I am not going to be made full time?
I'm sorry.
You worked harder than anyone during your probation...
and did great work, but...
If I worked hard than anyone and did great work,
shouldn't you pick me?
Is it because I dropped out of college...
and am married?
It's not exactly that.
It sounds like it's exactly that.
You probably figured a younger employee...
without a family is easier to order around.
During the probation period,
I set my family aside...
and did my best as if my life depended on it.
I believe the attorneys appreciated my work.
How could you judge people on something so ridiculous?
I'm very disappointed.
I'm just a contract worker...
who has no recourse even if I'm let go...
once my term is up.
I'd like to think the higher ups did not...
abuse the situation.
But...
did Mr. Kang Bong Goo know I wouldn't make it?
Well,
he probably did.
I see.
Thank you. I'll do my best.
I knew you'd be selected, Mi Hyun.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I kissed up so much.
I gave them everything that I had.
What are you doing? Why aren't you working?
"Why aren't you working?"'
What's this? Does she know I'm getting sacked?
She couldn't know yet.
The construction cost documents are on your desk.
Yes, I saw.
You saw? You have eyes, so you saw?
It wasn't easy to follow.
The documents for the site inspection too.
The photos should follow the blueprint.
Then, you should note the increase in cost clearly.
I heard you were pre-law in college.
- I didn't graduate. - That's right.
You didn't.
Just because you dabbled in law before,
you shouldn't show off to me.
I'm an attorney after all.
Were you annoyed that I showed off?
Is that why you abused me and made me work nights?
Annoyed?
I showed off because it was warranted.
You're no better than I am,
but you had a big head just because you are a lawyer!
A big...
What's gotten into you? Do you feel sick?
You knew I wouldn't make it, didn't you?
You made me work nights knowing I'd be cut, didn't you?
Were you fired?
- You too? - Yes, I was fired. So what?
Wow. Are you acting out just because you were fired?
Yes!
I'm allowed, given the garbage you put me through.
I want to burn everything I've done for you,
but I'll be nice.
What a thug.
Look at her speaking rudely.
You. You were born in 1987. 870411.
- Did you memorize my ID number? - I was born in 81.
Don't mess with me.
You can't even tie your shoelaces.
Don't mess...
Was she not hired full time?
Why not? She's a good worker.
I made her work thinking she'd make it.
Those rotten scumbags.
These rats are terrible.
I had high hopes this time.
Why did you work so hard?
What could I do? I had to do my best.
I'm always like this, either on probation or a temp.
Worry about yourself, Hye Ran.
How could they beat you like that?
She received the judgment of justice.
You're here early. Did you come to console me?
They say misery comes holding hands.
- Won Jae. - Jung Hee is cheating.
- Hey! - She needs to know.
Last night, Hye Ran...
Forget it. I was mistaken.
I really, really was mistaken.
What's wrong with you?
- It's true. Jung Hee is cheating. - Get over here!
That witch lives near his office!
Get over here.
Hey! Won Jae.
- Open the door! - What's wrong with them?
You traitor. You swore you wouldn't tell!
Last night, Hye Ran...
saw them with her own two eyes!
Open the door. Open it.
- Hey! - Open the door.
This is the money for this month.
You know time is running out, don't you?
You need to step it up.
Did I scare you?
Hi, Jung Hee.
You're back.
- You must be busy. - You look even better...
than you did yesterday.
Do I?
Right, Na Mi?
- Do you mean it? - Yes.
I went to that wench's house.
I wanted to kill her.
What am I doing?
Who are you?
I think I have the wrong house.
You must be here to see the newlyweds.
Are you his sister?
You look just like the husband.
Come with me. Your brother lives here.
- But... - Come. It's here.
It's here.
Go on in.
Okay.
Don't you know the code?
Call your brother.
I know it.
It's the same code as our home?
So you do know it.
Enjoy yourself.
Why did he...
bring that here?
Jung Hee.
How could you?
How...
You must not be carried away by your emotions.
You must be rational and calm.
Who cares about being rational?
I'll kill you both!
- Hold on. - Okay.
Koo Jung Hee speaking.
Really? I'm out of the office right now.
What do I do?
- I'll call you when I get back. - What do I do?
Okay. Okay.
Thank you.
- Let's go in. - Okay.
Did I leave the light on?
You always forget.
I'm sure I turned it off.
This is nice,
being alone during the day like this.
Yes, this is so nice.
Thank goodness your mother isn't critical anymore.
It's all thanks to you.
Thank you.
You're crying again. You promised.
Okay, I won't cry.
My pretty Na Mi.
Shim Jae Bok,
what are you doing here?
Did you do something wrong?
Why are you hiding?
Go out there. Go out there right now and kill them.
Then I never should've hidden in the first place.
If I go out now, it'll be too humiliating.
Did you hear that?
I didn't hear anything.
I'm sure I did.
Maybe a stray cat got in.
Again?
It's Mr. Cho.
I'll take this outside, okay?
Don't. He'll just nag again.
No. It's better to deal with it soon.
Jung Hee.
(Ms. Perfect)
Don't you have something to say to me?
Like something you want to apologize for.
What?
I was a stupid moron who was asked for a divorce...
and was betrayed.
You know how you instinctively feel close...
to some people when you first meet them.
What will you do now?
I did it.
Rot in there, Koo Jung Hee.
Rot in there forever.
