(Episode 3)
I wonder why they're getting a divorce.
Why are we?
Because I ate the Nagasaki cake.
Do you think...
we're splitting up because of that?
There's a couple that I used to know.
The woman was older, and the man was younger.
The woman was kind,
devoted, and thoughtful.
She was a good woman.
The man was usually on the receiving end.
But one day, they broke up.
The guy wanted to break up first.
I asked why they split up.
They went to a show.
But the guy had a cold that gave him diarrhea.
So, he was constantly running to the bathroom.
The woman kept asking if he was okay.
It was a real mess, but they watched the show.
That day, he decided they needed to break up.
Do you know why they broke up?
Because he was humiliated?
Is either being happy or humiliated all you know?
Then what?
I knew it.
You can't feel it.
How am I supposed to explain it to you?
That's how breaking up is.
It's hard to explain,
but you feel it.
He was pooping and decided to break up.
How am I supposed to feel that?
Seriously.
Even if the heart were to stop
It would not hurt this much
Do something
Please heal me
Or my heart is going to break
As if I was shot by a gun
- My heart hurts - What is she saying?
Gum? Gun?
As if I was shot by a gun
I felt this before.
Once, I couldn't poo...
for two weeks.
I was frustrated and I felt icky.
No matter how I tried, nothing came out.
I decided to forget it and ignored it,
but then I was there, trying again.
That can slowly drive a person mad.
Then when you finally succeeded...
So...
Sense of accomplishment! Yes, that's it!
That's how I felt when I left the courthouse.
Thank you.
If you get divorced out of rage,
you may regret it later.
He may not have understood the situation from a text.
That text?
Can you come home early today?
We have a guest...
(Can you come home early? We have a guest)
Sorry, do you have a red lipstick?
What's up?
Sorry.
- I'm sorry. - No.
No, no. I'm sorry.
That's not it.
I'm okay.
I was just so scared.
Is the plant on the balcony okay?
Bring it in.
I brought up divorce first.
I'm sure she agreed because she had no choice.
But when I go home,
she may ask to talk about it,
like nothing happened.
She's an expert at being indecisive.
She may cry.
This is pure misery.
You got a divorce?
She divorced you?
Well...
Yes.
(Yes)
It shines brightly and is beautiful outside.
But once you bring it home,
the flowers and plants all died.
What do you think family means?
I understand this feeling.
I shine brightly and am beautiful outside,
but once I go home, I'm an evil witch.
No, no. I'm not mad.
Sorry. I'm so sorry.
Hello.
Sorry?
Hello.
The other night. Wife.
You don't remember. Okay, then.
Excuse me.
I forgot...
- the code. - Sorry?
Do you know a way to clip it?
Did you forget the code, or did someone...
change it?
I'm not sure.
What was the code?
0... 0... 0...
and 0.
What?
That's the default.
How could you forget that?
- I know. - So someone changed it.
Who could it have been?
It was probably to mess with you.
Did you do something bad?
It seems like the type of revenge women take.
I don't usually lock it.
Maybe someone locked it on purpose.
I wonder why?
Maybe it means, don't go anywhere.
That's right.
I had changed the last digit...
to one.
Here.
How's Hwi Roo's father? Is he okay?
You don't need to go see him?
He's fine.
But you didn't go curling today?
What's the point without Hwi Roo?
It's no fun alone.
Here.
How long have you been married?
Three months.
It hasn't been long.
Do you get along?
Do you go straight home,
and not to anything bad?
- This is delicious. - Sorry?
- Would you like to try? - No, no.
Do you do anything bad? Do you?
Sorry?
I go fishing at times.
No, not that.
Do you mean something you do indoors?
Yes.
Sure. I guess so.
But I'm not into gaming.
Where did you meet your wife?
There she is.
- Hey. - Hi.
Try this.
- It's really good. - Isn't it?
Yes.
This is...
his grandmother's shop.
- Suk Moo. - Okay.
Sung Moo.
Suk. It's "Suk," which means "stone."
What about the "Moo"?
It means "nothing, emptiness."
My bad. I didn't know.
Back then, my father...
was obsessed with the futility of life.
He had planned to become a Buddhist monk.
But then they had me.
I don't know why someone about to become a monk...
had a baby, but...
He was Catholic, so I don't know...
why he wanted to be a Buddhist monk, either.
He even plays the piano well.
Why didn't you tell me you were married?
It's a secret.
He doesn't want to let people know.
What?
What's wrong with him?
I mean...
Were you okay last time?
You introduced him to me as your husband.
Yes. I was testing him.
The truth is...
- I saw him before, and... - What about your wife?
Introduce me to her.
It'll be fun to have a double date.
Excuse me. We're closed.
Don't you sell alcohol here?
Should I call the cops or my sister?
Your sister isn't home.
She went home.
- You know? - Of course.
She wouldn't go that far just because of...
Dad's urethral stone.
Especially not with all her things.
So I nagged her, and she came clean,
that she got divorced.
Well... The thing is...
Nagasaki cake?
She said you wanted a divorce...
because she ate that, and that you were a jerk.
Oh my gosh. That flows well together.
Nagasaki jerk.
No, I...
How many times must I explain that wasn't it?
Regardless, go down there and bring her back.
You hated me so much.
Why are you doing this?
A divorce isn't about just the two of you.
Why are you two bowing out after making this mess?
- What? - My dad's sick.
His surgery is coming up.
If you say you got a divorce,
he may go into shock and refuse surgery.
What if his health fails, and he dies?
You're so pessimistic.
And what about Grandma's birthday?
And...
if you get divorced, must I quit my job here?
I mean, she's still an in-law.
She wouldn't want to see her grandson's...
ex-wife's sister.
And what if Hwi Roo says...
she wants to crawl back into the apartment...
So that's the real reason.
I...
Regardless, you should go.
She probably wants her sweetheart to get her.
Sweetheart?
I've never heard that before.
I hear it only after I get divorced.
But there is no way I'm going.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E03 Matrimonial Chaos "Where Is Hwi Roo?" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
- Sit down. - Okay.
You must be tired from the long trip.
Snack on this. I'll make you some food.
Why are they all here?
- Go in. - Hello.
- Your son-in-law is here? - My gosh.
He's handsome.
- Take the baby. - Okay...
You look even handsomer.
He was always attractive from the start.
- You're right. - My gosh!
You had a baby?
You must be so happy!
That's right!
No. This isn't my baby.
I know.
That's my grandson.
My gosh. You're so silly.
You still have no sense of humor.
My goodness.
My gosh.
Where's Hwi Roo?
Well...
she went to teach track to the kids from her school.
Their coach...
is Hwi Roo's ex-boyfriend.
When they were in high school,
they were always together. They were such a sight.
Gosh. Those little punks were hanging out...
in front of a motel in their uniforms,
and got caught by me.
Those kids did all sorts of stuff.
I know, right?
Hey!
I told you to wait for me.
Run!
You can do it!
Yes!
- Awesome! - You ran so well.
Darn it.
You're awesome.
- You're so good. - I'm impressed.
Seriously.
- You're so good. - You're awesome.
What are you doing here?
I went to your house.
You did?
You still didn't tell your family?
It's not a good time with my dad's condition.
I'll tell them after they remove the stone.
I see. The stone.
My gosh.
Have this.
Why are you sitting here? Sit with your husband.
We got a divorce.
What?
That's right. Hello.
I'm her ex-husband, Jo Suk Moo.
My gosh. We finally meet.
I'm a childhood friend. So, I'm...
her first love?
That's new.
She said I was her first love.
What about her did you fall for?
I didn't fall for her.
You know,
I never saw a grown woman read children's books.
You know she was a sports major.
She'd be in her track suit reading the same book.
The book was falling apart.
- What was that? - "Charlotte's Web".
That's it.
That scary book?
Maybe she has a masochistic tendency.
How does this taste?
My gosh.
He's very sensitive about food.
He gets furious about petty things.
Yes, I'm sure they're petty...
since you always simplify problems.
You always complicate problems.
Why? Because you're embarrassed.
Because you can't accept...
that you're angry about something so petty.
No.
Do you know why you simplify problems?
Because that makes it easier to blame me.
If you understand the context,
you have to admit what you did wrong.
Hey, whether it's simple or complicated,
I created the problem, so...
Why did you come to get me then?
I didn't come to get you.
It's Grandma's birthday.
And Father's too.
I love you
You're the only one
Sing!
I shout it out loud
But the silent sun continues to set
- Okay! - I love you
You're the only one
I shout it out loud
Our son-in-law sings well!
But the silent sun continues to set
Nice!
You're so good.
Sing another!
Encore!
Mother! Okay!
Okay!
Be careful.
Everyone's drunk.
Why are you preparing more?
The plum wine came out nicely this year.
Hey. Eun Shil is having her second child soon.
There's no room for you in this house.
Take this out.
Here.
It's been so long since I drank with you.
Here.
We're out of soju.
Go get one.
What is she doing?
Look at that smile.
Hwi Roo was so pretty when she was little.
She got that way after she got big.
My gosh, that feels good.
You must be tired. You can stop.
The day I erase you from my life
Habits are a scary thing
I still look at your picture
With a blank stare
Once again,
I say, "I love you"
Although I'm sure you don't believe me
Goodbye
She's good.
I need to let you go
That is too difficult
Bye bye
Are you okay?
Goodbye
I need to let you go
Shut it.
Aren't you washing up?
Want some water?
The ceiling.
What?
I remember the ceiling.
That's right.
You were in this room the first time you came.
Your father fed me so much alcohol back then.
He did.
I got hit a lot too.
We couldn't tell whether he was happy or upset.
He was sincere.
He said over and over,
"Give me my daughter."
Did I give you back to him now?
I wonder if your father will be happy.
I'll turn off the light.
I didn't decide on a whim.
I know.
You won't change.
I don't hope you will, either.
I think this is a good place to stop.
If there's one thing that I feel bad about,
it's our families.
I know.
Divorce...
isn't about just the couple.
The two families get divorced.
I feel bad toward Grandma.
Forget about it.
I'll go see Grandma on her birthday.
Don't bother with my father's.
Don't do it.
What will you say?
I'll say you went down...
because your father was sick.
What if they say they'll come see him?
Or call?
When will your father recover after surgery?
Probably about a month after surgery?
Okay.
Then let's tell Grandma before then.
Okay.
Slowly.
What?
I'll tell Grandma...
when we go curling. Don't tell her until then.
Okay. Make sure she isn't traumatized.
Don't just spit it out while brushing.
It's "sweeping."
Here. Take this.
Drink it before you go to sleep, okay?
It's only for you. Don't give this brat any.
What is it?
What else?
I had Hwi Roo after drinking this.
Oh my gosh.
Seriously.
I see.
Thanks for coming all the way here.
You made me so happy.
I feel so much better.
What are you doing? Sit.
Want some tea?
- I'm fine. - I'll just make one then.
You're being too awkward.
How long will you act like a guest?
Is this better?
Sure. You seem a little less like a guest now.
Yulmae! Kay!
How were you?
Sleep on the bed. I'll sleep outside.
No, I'm fine.
I can't let the guest sleep in the living room.
- Hi. - Hey.
You must be tired. Were you up all night?
Yes.
The sleeping room was dirty.
Something smells good.
- Wash up. - Okay.
(Episode 4 will air after 1 minute.)
(Episode 4)
Go ahead.
Excuse me.
Aren't you Suk Moo?
Yes, I'm Jo Suk Moo.
Hey, Suk Moo.
Seoul National University's Dostoyevsky.
When you were in school,
you always carried Dostoyevsky on you.
What's that?
What are you doing?
- What do you mean? - I mean, that...
Are you that, now?
- What? - Gosh.
You're still so crabby.
Sir, everyone is waiting for you.
Okay. Stop whining.
Here you go.
Why are you giving me money?
Because you did a good job.
I get paid a salary.
Just take it.
You studied so hard...
just to do... To do that? You punk.
You studied so hard...
just to touch your employee's butt? You punk.
- What? - That's right.
I remember now.
You studied really hard. You practically...
lived in the library.
You always sat up front.
You had so many tutors, too.
It was actually moving.
That's right.
You looked like a loser,
that no girl would even look at you.
All you did was study, telling yourself...
when you succeed,
you'll touch their butts.
Why you little... Hey.
Do you think you and I are at the same level?
I think you're lower.
You scumbag.
Thank you.
What?
Because of me...
It was not.
It wasn't because of you.
It wasn't a sense of justice, either.
I tend to detest people,
but he was more detestable.
In a way, I can't say there wasn't any...
feeling of shame...
or envy.
That's why I used what happened...
as an excuse to express the rage...
that was boiling up inside of me.
So, don't thank me or feel bad.
There's no need.
No, no. I'm fine.
Your nose is bleeding.
You were hit, so why are they docking your pay?
Who cares if he's the client?
Who cares if he owns that company?
Who cares if the client is close to the owner?
Hey, hey, hey. Just quit. Quit.
If I quit, I'm the one who loses the most.
I'm not a client, a company owner,
or the owner's friend.
I can switch with you for tonight's shift.
For what? Why are you doing this?
Just go home and rest.
There's no point in working hard.
No. I really want to work tonight.
Isn't there anything super urgent?
Oh no.
Oh, my goodness.
It's so salty.
It's dusty. Don't put the utensils down.
Get the wet tissues.
No. The dishcloth.
We should think about the environment.
We must cut back on creating waste.
- The earth will get sick. - Okay.
You only worry about the earth getting sick.
Did you boil this?
Yes.
- Give me that. - It's okay.
I should do it.
Why isn't Suk Moo here yet?
I think he's getting off work late tonight.
Whatever.
Like he's doing something so important.
That must be Suk Young.
My dear Suk Young!
Happy birthday, Father.
Thank you, our dear prosecutor.
My puppy.
Sung Bin...
Hello.
Hi.
Why are you sitting here? They say to come in.
Look there.
No!
I raised him since I was born.
Autumn.
One day, my father said he'd give that dog...
to some random person without telling me.
You punk! Get away. Don't touch it.
It's sick! What are you thinking?
You punk. Don't touch it. Take it away.
I couldn't even say bye to him.
Dad, please, just one more month.
No, just one more week.
I need time to say goodbye.
Be a man. Why are you so soft?
- I won't be a man! - What?
Go! Now!
I'm going to go! Autumn!
- Go! Now! - Autumn!
Autumn!
That's how he always was.
My father always did as he pleased,
and my sister was one step behind.
So? What happened?
The conclusion was always a tragedy.
My father sent Autumn away,
and I fainted and was sick for about a week.
They thought I was going to die.
I dreamed the entire time.
They say dreams are the opposite of reality.
In my dream, my father was very free.
My father would throw a ball,
and Autumn would bite it,
and run across the field.
It was a pink ball.
The dream was so clear.
I think...
that's when I lost it.
What?
How to say goodbye.
I never learned how to do that.
Mom, I said we would bring food.
Why did you cook so much?
I was making a little bit,
but I felt like it would go well with this,
and since I wanted to eat this,
I felt like I needed that.
You know I tend to cook too much.
Come here. Let's eat.
- Let's eat. - Okay.
- Sung Bin, let's eat. - Let's sit.
- Come here. - My gosh.
Hey, Hwi Roo. Okay. Come here.
You said you'd make japchae,
so I didn't make any.
Your father-in-law likes japchae. Take it out.
Okay.
The seasoning is similar, so...
it won't be too weird.
This must have happened when I tripped earlier.
Why doesn't Grandma go?
What?
I thought their father and grandma...
have the same birthday.
Are they all coming here?
Yes.
It was about six months.
Mr. Ko came every single day.
But Suk Young wouldn't even look at him.
It was agony for me, too.
That's enough. Eat.
Then eventually, I won her over.
That's right.
The drama was completed.
I shouted in joy.
It wasn't just me. Everyone in the family...
Not me.
I don't remember shouting for joy.
Hey. How's your work?
It's good.
What was it again?
Jacoby? Do you catch cockroaches or something?
That's Jesco.
I think you said that about 10 times now.
In order to fulfill your wish one day,
I'll be an exterminator and catch cockroaches.
But it'll probably be tough.
That company is huge, and is a good company,
so it's hard to get a job there.
Have a baby.
What?
You shouldn't intrude on the sex life...
of an adult couple.
You punk.
What are you so bitter about?
It's because nothing is going well for you...
that you're unhappy about everything.
You went to such a good college,
but you wasted your time being stupid.
And then...
The soup is getting cold.
We need to go, since it's Grandma's birthday.
Why would you go there? Why are you so...
Tada!
It's so interesting that you and your son...
have the same birthday.
It is, isn't it?
Something went in my eye. Come and help me.
What are you doing?
You said to get it out. I don't see anything.
There's nothing there.
I'll get right to it.
She's his step-grandma.
What?
She's that guy's father's stepmom.
So, she's that guy's step-grandma.
She married a man who had a son.
So, she isn't related at all...
to her grandson.
You're not surprised?
I am.
She got married,
and the son had the same birthday as hers.
You're surprised about something unusual.
Anyway, they got married,
but the husband... That guy's grandfather...
was very violent.
So, they got divorced.
At least you respond normally to that.
Regardless,
the grandfather died soon after the divorce.
So, that family thinks he died because of her...
and are mean to her.
Let's go, Sung Bin.
Let's go home.
We'll drop you off.
No, thanks.
Do you hate me, Uncle?
Because I'm a child,
other people try to talk to me,
give me gifts, and annoy me.
- But you... - Sorry.
I'm not good with strangers.
Plus, once you enter society,
you'll see that no one is interested in you.
Here.
Buy yourself a snack, and listen to your parents.
Get home safely. It was nice seeing you.
You too.
People don't usually say that to family.
It feels awkward.
But then again, you were always like that.
It's odd.
How do you get prettier as time goes on?
Of course, ever since I first saw you,
I questioned how you were Suk Moo's sister,
but you keep getting prettier, so the gap...
- keeps getting wider... - It's awkward, right?
Thanks.
Aren't you getting in? We'll give you a lift.
Let's go.
Are you really not getting in?
You're poor. Our car is huge.
I want to ride an even bigger car.
You know,
ever since I was little,
I said I would never ever get married.
It wasn't because of any conviction...
or because I hated girls.
I didn't want...
to show anyone my family.
I was embarrassed.
I hated my family,
and myself in that family.
I hated the person my family saw in me.
I felt like if I showed anyone that part of me,
I'd feel like I'd be completely naked.
That's why...
I felt like love...
would just fly away.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Grandma
Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
Hwi Roo.
I gave the manuscript to the owner...
of the publication company where I worked.
He says he'll call after he reads it.
Thank you.
But why is it a secret that you want...
to write children's books?
I don't know.
Because I don't think it'll happen?
Why not? I read it,
and I liked it.
Really?
But when did you draw all that?
At nights.
I work all night.
Does Suk Moo not know, either?
No.
Once, I left them scattered around...
for him to see,
and he only nagged me like crazy...
for not throwing out my doodles.
Here.
Let's see how well it came out.
Do you want to watch a performance afterward?
A performance?
A band that I know is performing a club nearby.
At my age?
Let's go.
You can see many pretty guys there.
We can hang out with them afterward.
You're divorced now.
You should let loose.
You want to become a groupie at your age?
I won't stop you.
Let's go.
If you find a cute guy, you have to date him.
Okay?
Okay.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E04 Matrimonial Chaos "Yoo Young, We Were Happy Back Then" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Oh no. There's only one left.
Want it?
No, I'm going to the restaurant.
Then why were you grabbing a zucchini?
Just... It had such a strange color.
What will you do with it?
I'm going to make zucchini stew.
Where's your wife?
My wife went...
to be a groupie and date a guy.
Good night.
It's a different woman.
Why do people in the same neighborhood...
You should've called.
What...
He's too much.
(The Eternal Husband)
What a great romance.
Isn't it too sweet?
The...
This is killing me.
Yes? Who is it?
Is your husband home?
Not yet.
I don't think he'll be back too soon.
- Come in. - No.
It's fine. Come in.
Want some?
I ate already...
at a restaurant. I had curry.
Is there a good place?
I don't eat because it tastes good.
Because there was no one there?
Yes.
You only watch movies no one watches.
What was that exhibit before?
Was it an exhibit on pouches?
It was really just the two of us.
I had rented the place out.
Recently,
I saw that place while passing by...
our old place and it's the same.
Really?
Remember one Christmas,
we weren't doing anything,
then that night,
both of us bought a huge Christmas Tree...
That was nice.
When I look back,
that period of time...
jumps out at me.
How would it have been if we had stayed together?
I was just curious, that's all.
Is something wrong?
I...
got divorced.
Want to eat?
Sure.
Why did you marry someone like him?
Want some drink?
I had a friend at work named So Ra.
She was a nice girl.
She was my only friend at work.
He was her boyfriend.
I met him a few times like that,
and thought he was kind of flaky.
One day, he was telling me about a restaurant,
and he drew a map really well.
- A map? - Yes.
He drew a map to the restaurant,
and the way he drew...
It was nonchalant, but good.
As I watched him,
my heart fluttered.
Although...
all he did was draw a map?
Yes.
And not long after, I went to watch a movie alone.
I was crossing the street in front of the theater,
and he started crossing toward me.
Hello.
I met you through So Ra.
You recommended a restaurant, too.
I see.
Are you watching a movie alone?
Yes.
Want me to go with you?
No.
So Ra will get mad.
I can't remember anything about the movie.
I kept wondering...
why I had refused.
I was like that...
all throughout the movie.
I liked him already.
I got a call the next day.
"Do you want to go fishing on Sunday?"
So I said,
"Yes."
I stole him from my favorite friend.
I made her cry.
You don't understand any of this, right?
Actually... No, I don't.
To be honest, neither do I.
Before then, I thought I should love,
that I want to, and wondered if I should.
But I realized after I met him,
that love is different.
It isn't something you do,
but something you fall into.
That I had fallen in love.
I didn't know your love
It is probably too late now
It is probably over for us now
Even if I wish you a happy life
Even if I try to forget you
My heart still searches for you
I thought I was objective,
precise, and firm.
But I was a mess while I was with him.
My emotions were all over the place.
I learned of too many things inside of me...
that I hated.
But...
I was so happy that I didn't care.
- Yoo Young. - He never says no.
I said I wanted to get married,
so he said, "Okay," and we registered our marriage.
They say...
guys repeat the same thing over and over.
Do you know where he is right now?
- I don't know. - You do, don't you?
- He'll be home soon. - You know.
He doesn't mean anything bad.
- What? - He doesn't realize...
He doesn't realize?
What do you mean?
Isn't that a bit excessive?
He's cheating on you,
and you excuse him, saying he doesn't realize it?
Don't get angry.
Sorry.
I didn't mean to talk to you like this.
I wanted to help you somehow,
and give you strength.
Because you don't seem happy right now,
and wish you'd go back to how you were!
You used to be alive.
You didn't look like you gave up on everything,
and were suppressing your feelings!
When we lived together, in those good memories...
It's been 10 years, but you still know nothing.
I have no good memories with you.
When we broke up,
I wished you would just die.
I wished...
you would just die.
After Autumn left,
the boy was sick for several days.
He hated his father for sending Autumn far away...
for getting sick.
The boy had a dream.
In his dream, his father was a good person.
He had sent Autumn to the countryside,
so that he could run around freely...
in a big open field with fresh air.
However, was that really...
just a dream?
(Matrimonial Chaos)
Do you know why I said I wanted a divorce?
What's with him? Did he get remarried already?
We need to live together, but I don't want to fight,
so let's set some rules.
We will not consider each other as the opposite sex.
That wasn't why.
You're a great liar.
You lie to your wife and see other women...
She said her ex was a terrible person.
Exactly what did you do?
