(Episode 27)
The girl had a dream.
In her dream, her father was a good person.
He had sent Ga Eul to the countryside...
so that she could run freely...
where the air was good and the land was wide.
However,
was that really a dream?
You can leave it open up to this much.
The person you have reached...
Hello?
Hello? Are you inside?
Hello?
Oh, my. What brings you...
Did I make another mistake?
Did you open the window?
That's right! My gosh.
I wasn't thinking and opened it wide.
I'm sorry I didn't disarm the alarm this morning.
Okay, then.
Excuse me.
I just happened...
I just happened to have cooked just now.
I made a lot.
- Sorry? - Have you eaten?
It's lunchtime.
Sorry?
You...
just happened to make...
Yes. I just happened to do it.
Okay.
Okay. There.
It should be fine now.
You're so cool.
- Just because of this? - Yes.
This is the perfect amount of coolness.
Don't get any cooler, okay?
He said it would be fine.
I wonder if you remember
The first day we met
Perhaps time was flowing toward goodbye
Quicker than we thought
Grandma.
It's weird having you move back in here.
- Come in. - Okay.
Are you coming from somewhere?
Yes.
A funeral.
That friend with dementia I mentioned last time.
She didn't last long.
Maybe it's for the best.
She talked about cooking...
until the moment she passed.
So are you almost done moving in?
Yes.
I'll help you with the kitchen.
Okay.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Are you going on a trip?
Yes. I want to see the real Trevi Fountain.
Hello.
I envy them.
Do you want to go on a trip?
Yes. I used to like traveling alone.
I was always too scared to go alone.
It's fun.
It's a little boring,
but that's fun.
It's boring but fun?
Yes.
That's right.
That's how it is living alone.
At first, it feels kind of lonely.
It's like that. But in the end,
being a bit bored gives you space.
It makes you more relaxed.
You get addicted to being bored.
There's no one asking for your attention.
It's sort of...
peaceful.
That's right.
When you travel alone, you don't know anyone.
No one is looking at me either,
and that's strangely comfortable.
So you returned to this neighborhood.
Is it okay coming here?
He isn't here during the day, so...
I'm staying at the rooftop house only temporarily.
Did you make some money from the children's book?
A tiny bit.
I need to find another way to make money.
I'll make money and write another story quickly.
I'll read it to my baby later.
- Hey. - Hey, Jang Hyun.
There's a client who is looking for you. Hold on.
- Get over here! - Get over here!
Seriously.
Hey, Jang Hyun.
It took you long enough.
What happened to your arm?
I don't know.
Guys, Jang Hyun is here.
- Hi! - Jang Hyun!
- Hi! - How have you been?
Sit down.
- Hey. - What's with your arm?
- You've changed so much. - What's with your arm?
Jang Hyun.
Hi, Se Jin.
Yoo Young.
Yes?
Are you happy?
Yes.
So Jang Hyun...
is afraid...
of losing you and letting you go...
because he won't be able to make you happy.
I'll be right back.
- I've missed you. - Me too.
Long time no see.
- I've missed you. - I know, right?
What are you staring at?
She hasn't changed, has she?
- Come on. - Let's go.
- Are you really coming? - Hold up.
Let's go for another round.
- Of course! - Hey, guys!
Where should we go next?
Next? Let's go to a karaoke!
I can't go anywhere.
My wife is waiting for me.
She got worried I'll see my first love...
- and became so anxious. - Want another drink?
Your wife gives way too much credit...
to her husband.
I thought about you now and then.
I remembered you.
Okay.
I wondered...
how the boy...
who cried while saying he would save me...
turned out to be.
What do you think?
As expected.
I heard you got divorced.
Yes. Twice.
Okay.
Why do you ask?
Do you think I deserve it...
after doing that with a teacher?
No.
That's what everyone thinks.
So did I.
After he and I broke up,
I said it doesn't matter who it was,
so I got married,
got divorced,
and got married again.
I wondered if that cycle...
would just continue on.
"It doesn't matter who it is"?
Do you know how that feels?
I do.
But...
it's not true.
That's just who I was.
Do you think those scars were nothing much?
No.
It just doesn't help...
to hold onto those scars.
I wonder why I gave that loser...
such power over me.
You just make it bigger and bigger.
That way, you can make excuses.
You can run away and say it isn't your fault.
You blamed others and shunned others...
because you lacked confidence and courage.
That's why you couldn't free yourself from it.
What are you doing?
I left some things.
Why are you sitting there?
Nothing much.
I felt a bit hurt, so...
Where?
I kind of feel free too.
Sorry.
No.
I'm at a point where I'm happy to see anyone.
Don't you need an exercise ball?
No.
Where are you going?
Anywhere.
Don't go.
How nice.
It's nice lying here after having drinks...
with my sister once in a while.
We rarely drank together...
after you got married.
You're right.
It's a good thing I got divorced.
It wasn't because you were married.
Do you know that kind of women...
who can't live without loving someone?
Whether it's her husband or kids...
Regardless,
a woman always searching for someone to love...
and focusing on them.
Someone that gets nervous if she doesn't...
have someone like that.
I guess so.
I thought you were like that.
What?
Ever since we were young,
you practically raised me,
and brought in all sorts of animals and saved them.
That's why I was a little scared...
when you said you were getting married.
In case you'd be too focused on it.
I wondered if that was why you wanted kids so much.
Really?
But...
I was wrong.
What?
When you said you were getting a divorce,
I thought you could never go through with it,
but you did...
and pulled it off on your own.
So I'm relieved.
Worry about yourself.
I like it.
Suk Young, Sung Bin,
and Soo Kyung.
It's a strange combination,
but there's enough distance.
It's warm and...
How do I put it?
It keeps getting better.
I keep seeing good things.
I see. What a nice relationship.
That's what I wanted.
Someone who keeps getting better.
What?
Someone...
whom you could keep discovering...
good things inside.
Was Suk Moo not like that?
Maybe that was just a state of ennui.
No, I was fine...
with being bored.
Even when I was little,
although other kids wanted new dolls,
I liked the one I had the most.
That's true.
Even if it was boring,
it was pretty.
Thanks.
I was just afraid you'd go somewhere weird again.
Suk Moo.
You're lonely, aren't you?
- I am not. - How is it living alone?
It's so peaceful.
It's quiet, and I can think a lot.
After looking back on my life,
I think I can find myself.
Stop doing that.
Let me crash here only until I get my cast off.
Look, Jang Hyun.
I have faith in you.
Well, I don't know why, but I do.
That's why I hoped you'd get back with Yoo Young.
Thank you for having faith in me.
It's my first time to hear that.
Do you have everything?
What?
- You should pack for me. - Well, I...
No. You should pack your own things.
Your mom bought it all.
They're in your room.
It is...
your responsibility to put them in your bag.
She always packed them for me.
She did, but not anymore. Get used to it.
That's right.
Did Hwi Roo finish moving alright?
Yes.
Because of me, he couldn't tell our family...
that they got divorced.
He'll have to tell them soon.
Both their kids got divorced, so...
I'm sure he'll be fine.
(Se Jin)
Hey,
Se Jin.
Yes.
Okay. Sure.
What is it?
That's your first love, right?
- Yes. - Stop grunting,
and answer me.
Yes.
What did she want?
What are you thinking?
Nothing much.
I just wanted to see...
myself.
What are you talking about?
Why are you going there to see yourself?
Look. I know.
That's how it is between first love and men.
You could never forget her,
it makes you sad,
and you create this illusion.
You feel like you need...
a beautiful first love for you to be somebody.
I had a first love too.
In my imagination, that woman...
She's totally... Who is she? Yes.
Kim Basinger.
It's Kim Basinger.
But when I saw her,
forget Kim Basinger.
She was a total traitor.
She was so not what I imagined.
Are you talking about Yoo Young?
No.
Someone else. There's someone else.
Another first love.
It's my first time here since we graduated.
Really? I came here from time to time.
Every time I came to Korea.
Why?
To see how stupid I was back then.
I'm returning to Spain.
Okay. You're an interpreter, right?
Yes.
That's why I wanted to say goodbye.
Okay.
- It was nice seeing you. - Okay.
Do you want to go with me?
What?
I just wondered how it would be if you came.
I'll make the money.
Will you think about it?
You know,
I thought about it for a very long time.
What?
"You're not enough."
That.
Did that hurt you?
Perhaps. But...
I thought of it...
for a very long time.
I thought about what I lacked.
And?
I get it now.
Found it!
Yoo Young.
Sorry. Sorry for barging in on you.
Yoo Young.
I know I'm totally out of line,
but this is all I can do.
Saying what I really want,
saying that I want what I want...
is the only thing I can do right now.
I really want you.
I want to make you happy.
No.
I want to live happily with you.
Telling you that is all I can do right now.
I'll show you.
It's too late.
Yoo Young.
I tried to let you go.
I thought that would make you happier.
But I can't.
I...
I want to love you,
protect you, be with you,
and become happy myself.
I've been wondering something for a while.
What is it that I lack?
Why am I not good enough? Then...
I realized.
What I lacked...
was the ability to choose.
People make choices in their lives.
They don't get swept away by the situation...
and choose what they want.
They choose something and throw away the rest.
They choose something and take responsibility.
But I was missing that.
I...
I tried to hold on to everything...
and...
I only stalled and hesitated.
Then I turned back.
Because I was afraid.
But I won't do that anymore.
I want to choose now.
I'll make my choice...
and throw away everything else.
Marry me.
Let me be your husband.
Let me be a dad.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Sorry.
Are you okay?
It's okay. It'll be okay.
Let's go.
Grandma's friend passed away,
and she seemed very down.
She fell because she was dizzy. She'll be fine.
You've gotten old.
Are you okay?
Yes.
This comes with old age.
I just fell down.
Thanks.
This is nice.
At least I won't die alone.
Don't say that.
I heard your sister was living with her.
Yes.
I'm thankful,
but they can't live like that forever.
They're doing well.
They help each other, and they don't fight.
That's just temporary.
Talk some sense into Suk Young, will you?
There's still time before it's finalized.
- What? - The divorce.
It isn't finalized yet?
They make you wait three months.
Isn't it one month?
It was one month for us.
That's right. It's because we don't have kids.
It isn't finalized yet?
They make you wait three months.
Isn't it one month?
It was one month for us.
That's right. It's because we don't have kids.
Why you...
You punk!
You! Divorce?
Why you... Get over here.
Get over here, you punk.
Wait!
Wait... Don't do this.
We're out in public. I'm not a child.
If you're not a child, why are you hiding?
Because you're treating me like a child!
You wise guy.
Get over here!
I'm sorry!
Why are you...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for being irresponsible...
and causing you concern.
Get up. Please.
I'm sorry.
You idiot.
What's the problem?
You said...
you never learned how to express yourself...
and that it was my fault.
It wasn't.
I know.
I didn't learn either.
But if you don't express it, no one knows.
Your mom just takes it all.
She's holding it in.
I can see that, so I get angrier.
I felt really bad toward Hwi Roo.
Still, I thought she could handle being with you...
because of who she is even if you're like me.
But...
I couldn't say that to her.
But why?
I messed up.
If you messed up, you can apologize.
You can fix it.
Can't you...
give it another shot?
I'm sorry.
Divorce papers.
I carry this around with me.
We signed the papers several times,
didn't submit them,
signed them again, and just endured it.
That's how we lived.
In the end, getting a divorce...
isn't about submitting these mere papers.
That's the only difference.
I figured I can file them at any time,
so I carry it around like some sort of insurance.
That made me feel better.
I'm not saying this to tell you...
it's better to endure it and live together...
even if you want to get divorced.
It's just...
that I don't want...
to lose you.
I don't want to lose you.
Are you crying?
I...
raised the kids wrong.
Forget it.
What use is that now?
I...
What did I do...
to make both our kids get divorced?
My... My life is a failure.
The kids live their own lives.
They're out of our hands.
It isn't our fault.
When it comes to family,
if something goes wrong,
everyone's busy blaming each other.
That's not why you worked so hard to live together.
Let's give it a little time.
It's just a piece of paper.
Thanks.
Sure.
You're going back in, right?
Take good care of Grandma.
Sorry. I couldn't handle my own family.
It's okay. Me too.
It's really over now.
Both families know.
I felt so bad when I saw the look...
on Mother's and Father's faces.
Make them feel better.
I'm sure it'll be hard for them.
A spouse is like congee.
What are you talking about?
I'm saying it's like congee, the food.
Congee?
When I'm tired or sick,
that's the first thing I think of.
It's bland and doesn't taste good, but still.
I was really scared when I heard Grandma fell.
But you were the first person I thought of.
When I'm hurt or sick, I think of you.
But if you eat something tastier,
you won't think about it.
To be honest, I can't really handle it.
Sorry. I was sorry.
Okay.
You should accept apologies quickly.
Okay.
You can handle it.
We need to embrace the break up...
for our story to end.
- Hwi Roo. - I like how it is now.
I like it.
Look. We're talking.
We're saying, "Sorry", and "Thank you" now.
Such simple things.
Bye.
(New Voicemail from Jang Hyun)
You have one new message.
First message.
Well, Suk Moo.
It's me, Jang Hyun.
Hello, this is Suk Moo.
This is Jang Hyun.
How many times is he going to say that?
Yoo Young and I are getting back together.
I talked to her last night about getting married.
This is Jo Suk Moo's phone, right?
Yes, it is.
- Hello? - Keep talking.
Suk Moo?
Why does he keep calling my name in a voicemail?
To whom am I talking to?
If you don't mind, let's have dinner at the cafe.
Hwi Roo too.
Are you really going to drink this?
It's super expensive. What's gotten into you?
We're celebrating.
She can have a glass even if she's pregnant.
Is Hwi Roo coming too?
I texted her, but who knows?
Congratulations!
You're early.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Sit here. - Okay, thanks.
Where's...
I came first.
Okay.
Jang Hyun's happy, right?
Yes.
I'm glad.
Thanks.
I mean it. I'm very happy for you.
I know.
You seem happier than I am.
You know,
so many things happened too.
I know there's no need to say this,
but I didn't really expect this.
It's like an unexpected turn of events.
What do you mean? You nagged like crazy.
It was because I know you love Jang Hyun...
and still have affections for him.
I don't.
What?
I don't love him.
I told him that too.
Marry me.
I don't love you anymore.
What?
I love you.
I'll love you.
I can't ask you to love me,
but it's okay for me to love you, right?
You don't love him,
but you're marrying him?
There's no affection,
but I will marry him.
I don't trust him,
but I'll live with him.
I don't really understand what you mean.
We have a baby.
Between Jang Hyun and me.
I see.
I just made a realistic choice.
But don't get the wrong idea.
I'm sure we can get along.
We were a good match to begin with,
and I don't think we'll fight in the future.
We'll be fine.
Above everything else,
he likes children.
Jang Hyun is repenting.
I know.
But...
I do get a feeling that he will cheat again...
at some point.
He said he would change.
People don't change.
- Still... - It's okay.
I can handle it.
But...
when are we going to drink this?
- Well... - Let's drink.
Okay.
Hi!
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm back.
We started drinking first.
Good.
I got my cast off, but I keep doing this.
It looked good on you.
Really? Did it?
Should I keep wearing it?
Thanks.
It's delicious.
- Yes. - Did Ma Roo make it?
Probably.
- Isn't it really good? - It is.
I can't even watch dramas. I prefer sports channels.
Isn't Hwi Roo coming?
Are you okay?
I told you I'm okay.
You don't look okay.
You should go.
Get some sleep.
Don't do anything.
Call me if you need anything.
You shouldn't think...
I'll always be with you.
What's that about out of the blue?
You're here now.
It's just like colored pencils.
The colors you care about the most...
disappear first.
I'm home.
Hwi Roo.
Hello?
Hello? Do you hear me?
Yes, what's up?
I just called.
What?
I was just wondering how you were doing.
Now?
Not now, but...
What are you doing tomorrow?
I'm sorry, but I have to...
I have to go in,
so I can't talk. Sorry.
What? But...
But... Wait...
Hello?
- Thank you. - How many straws?
One.
Are you alone?
Yes, I'm alone.
Hello?
I need to talk to you.
I need to tell you something.
I need to redo the wallpaper.
I think it'll make me feel better too.
And you said you wanted a dishwasher, right?
I was thinking about getting one.
They have inexpensive ones.
And this is totally unrelated,
but the drama we used to watch...
was on TV earlier.
The one where the father of the guy she loved...
turned out to be her older brother.
That drama...
about loving her own nephew.
They couldn't get married in the end.
The writer couldn't resolve it.
And should we buy an air fryer?
We can roast chestnuts and sweet potatoes in it.
Hwi Roo,
you're not on social media lately.
Well...
You see, I...
I...
Hwi Roo.
Sorry.
I'll get rid of the plant...
on the balcony.
(Written Apology)
(Resignation)
What is this?
You made it. You'll be a technician.
You said that was your dream.
It wasn't my dream.
What's going on?
Why are you suddenly quitting?
The sunlight felt too nice.
What are you babbling about?
If people quit because the sunlight is nice,
who would work?
I just...
want to make my life more likable...
before it's too late.
Hey, you!
Are you going to make us work late tonight?
Seriously!
Aren't you going to eat?
Hey, I want to stop eating with you.
This is more than enough for me.
Gosh, stop crying.
It won't work anymore because you cry so often.
Mi Ri and I are back together...
thanks to you.
It's not thanks to me, but because you're a good guy.
What was that?
What will you do?
You got divorced, you have no job, and you're old.
Why you...
You really didn't throw it away.
Why would I throw this away?
Everything in the storage is yours.
There are all sorts of things in there.
There's a sticker picture of you kissing a girl.
I never...
You took one with me.
Grandma.
I quit my job.
I need to close things out,
but I handed in my resignation.
You should've done it sooner.
- What? - You hated it.
Still.
You said you had to make money...
since you were married.
Yes.
Did you quit because you got divorced?
No, that's not why.
Your music.
Finish making your song. Okay?
Yes. That's what I plan to do.
Look at this.
It's so tiny.
(Jang Hyun)
You're back late.
Yes. I was doing something.
Wash up.
Okay. Go back to sleep.
A jewelry store in Jongro was broken into.
The suspect broke in when it was closed,
but Jo, an employee from the security company,
was seriously injured...
after confronting and fighting the suspect.
The assailant is in his 20s and unemployed,
and he said he did this in order to pay for...
- his rent and expenses. - Jongro?
That's his zone.
(Suk Moo)
The person you have reached...
What happened?
(Suk Moo's company)
The person you have reached...
I really loved you
Day by day, I get used to it
I forgot you were the air I breathe
Only after it was over
I realized something
I still dream of you
Just like the stars in the sky
Just like a love song
I am singing your name
Like a fool
(Matrimonial Chaos)
I think you are a precious person.
You too.
My wife...
You and I are strangers.
I want to know if it really was love.
It's my fault.
- Go live your life. - Don't try so hard.
I'll wait.
Today might be the last day.
I'm sorry for ruining everything.
