(Episode 21)
The line is busy.
Your call is being forwarded to voicemail.
Please leave a message...
I think you were blocked.
- What? - If it's busy, that's it.
- You've been blocked. - The line is busy.
Anyway, why are you here?
Because Suk Goo was sleeping.
Suk Goo?
An assistant professor in my department.
He's using the sleeping room...
to work on his graduation project.
But then...
- Suk Goo... - Enough about him.
You can go stay with a friend.
That's why I'm here.
Are we friends?
To be honest,
my wife left home.
So I'm all alone...
What great timing.
What?
Timing?
What...
Hey. Why did you take off your socks?
That?
I was about to ask where the washing machine was.
Jang Hyun.
Do you know why I got divorced?
Because I'm so sensitive.
Yes, I'm working on it, but...
Anyway, I'm way too sensitive,
and I nag too much. That's why I got divorced.
It's okay.
Sensitive people don't bother me.
Anytime you go in there,
you come out in a suit.
During our first meeting, I was in warm-ups.
And our second meeting...
Well, anyway,
it's like a second home.
I'm sorry to disturb you so late.
I didn't know you'd be here.
So you use it like a second home.
I don't sleep here,
but I manage the garden...
and dance here.
What is that?
Did you escape?
That's right.
Anyway, what is this?
Sorry?
What is this?
- Love Shop? - Exactly.
Why did you give me...
You...
What do I call you?
Ki Wan?
What?
If that seems too friendly,
- Mr. Oh? - Anyway,
why did you share your sexual preference with me?
You are not my sexual preference.
- What? - And I wasn't trying...
to clothe you in my sexual preference.
If you're asking whether I got excited...
by seeing you...
dressed in that,
it's definitely not.
You just...
looked like a prisoner...
who wanted to escape.
Oh, my gosh.
What are you doing?
We're closed.
No, I was just...
Spit it out.
Well, by any chance...
Are you looking for Hwi Roo?
Do you know where she is?
Did she leave again?
So you don't know this time?
Why are you looking for her?
Living together after divorce is weirder.
Well, she left without telling me...
She must have a reason. What did you do this time?
What do you mean? I didn't do anything.
Your specialty is doing something without knowing.
She was looking for a place to live.
She has no money.
The house must be sold so I can give her money.
I called her earlier, and she didn't pick up.
Do you think she went home...
No, she didn't. I spoke with our mom.
Hey, so...
Isn't that guy your friend?
Im Shi Ho?
Shi Ho? What about him?
How do you know him?
Well, I know him.
The famous singer, Im Shi Ho.
Where does he live?
What do you mean?
He went to London.
- London? - Yes.
Did she go to London?
What?
Feeling like I'm not qualified.
I was the closest to him, but I knew him the least.
You tend not to see if you're too close.
If you're this close, you can't see the shape.
But if you're this far...
or at least this far,
you can see everything.
You're right.
Little by little,
I couldn't distinguish the shape.
He had a dream like I did.
He was enduring like I was.
I finally realized that.
Then just apologize.
Yoo Young...
laughed.
I think it's too late.
When you think it's too late,
it really is too late.
Anyway, may I use this place for tonight...
I mean, for a few days?
Feel free to do so.
Your employees will be coming, right?
This space was created for writers,
but there are two employees and no work.
Your book will be our very first.
So you can use it freely.
Will you be here much longer?
- Do you want me to stay? - No.
Then I'll get going.
I'll pick up some food for you.
I think I should.
Couldn't you find her?
Nice... Pajamas.
This? It's a set. Do you want one?
Don't ask me any more questions.
The answer to everything will be "No."
Where do I sleep?
Do I sleep here?
No.
What are you doing?
You said I couldn't sleep on the bed.
And the living room is too cold.
Then you could've said something.
I thought you'd get angry if I woke you.
- Of course. - You're irritable.
Given the situation,
even someone who isn't irritable would get mad.
Okay.
Forget it.
It's okay. Lie back down. Just sleep.
Why do I always feel like the bad guy?
I thought you and Hwi Roo were a good match.
We always fought.
Really?
I thought we broke up because we didn't fight.
You guys split up because you cheated.
- Do you think it's over? - What?
I still like Yoo Young.
Do you still like...
Go to sleep.
Goodnight.
Hello?
Are you still sleeping?
What?
- You're right. - What's gotten into you?
I'm going to Geoje tomorrow.
Didn't you go home yet?
To be honest,
I fought with my husband and left home.
Have you lost your mind?
He begged, so I'm going back tomorrow.
But can I sleep with you tonight?
I know your husband's there,
but is that okay?
It's fine. He isn't here.
Really?
Anyway, why are you speaking with your accent?
What?
You're right.
What's going on?
I brought coffee and bread.
I mean, did you sleep here?
No. I went home.
- That's strange. - What?
Why do you keep suspecting me?
I did nothing wrong.
I'm sorry.
You sleep so well given the situation.
Anyway, I'm glad you seem to have slept well.
Please.
Thank you.
Gosh, it's hot.
Hot! Mommy...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm always like this.
Oh, no.
I guess the jumpsuit needs to be washed.
I think the story should be split into two parts.
Part one should be about the boy and girl.
And part two is about their meeting,
differences, and conflicts.
So what is the conclusion of these conflicts?
Should we leave it for the readers?
Actually, I don't know.
What?
I feel like it should have a happy ending, but...
What's a happy ending?
Living together? Getting back together?
Is living together a happy ending?
What?
Why do you think parting ways...
isn't a happy ending?
Heads or tails?
- What? - Which do you want...
for a happy ending?
Happy ending. Tails.
- What was it? - Why do you want to know?
You answered it already.
(Start)
How was your last class?
Good.
We found a new teacher,
but you're always welcome to come back.
Okay. I'll keep working with children.
Are you moving?
Yes.
What about that work you said you wanted to do?
Well...
I think I'll end up doing that.
That's great.
(Jecom Reassignments)
Gosh, you didn't get the technician job.
- No. - Oh, no.
Yes! He didn't get it.
Are you happy right now?
Well, I was so hurt when I heard...
you signed up to be a technician.
I know Mi Ri rejected you,
but that's not right.
I'd feel so bad.
What? Rejected by who?
You were rejected?
My gosh.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E23 Matrimonial Chaos "You Answered It Already" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
You startled me. Hey.
Are you taking turns? Give me a break.
Did he come by?
Of course.
Why did you leave if you were coming here?
It was my last day at the kindergarten today.
How about Grandma?
She doesn't know that I moved out,
right?
Why do people tell others to get married?
They all get divorced anyway.
That's because...
misery loves company.
Hey. What happened to you?
What?
When she wrote it incorrectly,
her dad erased it again.
The girl asked her dad,
"Where do all these letters..."
"that disappeared from the paper go?"
If the monthly rent goes up to like this,
there won't be enough for joint living expenses.
What's with your hair?
Why is it so out of control?
I was paying for it,
so I wanted to get the most for my money.
But...
why is my surgery bill a joint living expense?
Then what?
I was the one who was sick.
What happens if you're sick?
We can't live in a joint.
It's money to make joint living possible,
so it's a joint living expense.
Ma Roo worried a lot about you.
Whenever I was sick,
she'd yell at me about having to clean alone.
She didn't care about family.
She doesn't worry about anyone.
What? Why don't I worry?
I'm so worried about you right now.
So where are you staying?
That's right. Do you know Tuesday Publishers?
They called because of my children's story.
Do you mean Mr. Oh Ki Wan?
Yes. Do you know him?
He's famous.
Really?
There are no employees,
and my story will be their first book.
What? Is your story being published?
For real?
- A children's story? - Well, it's not much yet.
We won't know until it actually happens.
He was at a large American publisher...
and opened his own when he came to Korea.
His specialty was erotica,
but he said he'd do children's books here,
so people were shocked.
Erotica?
I see. That's more him.
His son died...
in America.
He had an autistic son,
but he died in an accident.
I don't know if that played a role,
but he started a children's book company.
Did you get a haircut?
Yes.
People cut their hair when they feel cruddy.
Seoul salons are just crazy expensive.
They aren't much better,
but they act like they're all that.
You look pretty.
Do I look pretty?
Whatever.
You're the one who's pretty.
I wouldn't get married if I looked like you.
I'd just...
go from guy to guy.
Where's Jang Hyun?
Did he go somewhere?
Come to think of it, I only saw him twice.
You won't see him again.
Why not? Did you guys fight too?
Do you...
- remember? - What?
My college boyfriend.
Yes.
I saw him at his concert that you made me go to.
Why?
What did you think?
I couldn't stand him.
- Why not? - Because he was ugly.
He wasn't a good match for you.
Is Jang Hyun better?
When it comes to looks, he's better.
But they're all the same.
But when I think about you,
rather than a guy who makes things hard for you,
someone who does everything you say,
takes all your rants and attitude,
and doesn't annoy you would be best.
There are only two types of men out there.
Annoying guys and guys who aren't annoying.
Okay?
Welcome home. You must be tired.
- What are you doing? - Fried shrimps?
No?
I should've called first.
Must I get a call from you during work and hear,
"What do you want for dinner?"
Are you serious right now?
Yes.
Look. I'm back to being single again.
It may be tough,
but I want to enjoy the freedom of singlehood.
I want to think about this and that...
and reflect on the past.
It's here.
I ordered a book online.
Why are you using my address...
What? Father!
Someone died.
I was just at a funeral.
I see.
That feels good.
Where's Hwi Roo? Is she grocery shopping?
No.
Then? Did she go out to meet a friend?
No.
Then?
Did you fight again?
Did she leave home again?
Well, it's not like she left home.
My gosh! Forget it!
I won't get involved...
in your married life.
I'm sorry.
Anyway, we have an even bigger problem.
Hey, you. Bring me that.
Yes, sir.
I lost my key...
at the funeral.
My pajamas, toothbrush,
and even presents are inside.
Do something.
- Let me see. - Well...
This is locked only on one side,
so I think it'll work.
Then try what you can.
Let's pull from each side.
This is surprisingly strong.
Young kids these days...
are so wimpy.
When I was your age,
I dug a hole 3m deep with my bare hands!
A hole for what?
Don't ask stupid questions.
- Keep pulling. - Okay.
It opened a little.
It opened!
What should we take out first?
- Pajamas. - Pajamas.
No, no. Anchovies.
Anchovies.
Anchovies. I see them.
I see them!
- Suk Moo. - Yes?
I'll hold it. Reach in.
Okay.
Me?
Yes.
Then...
- You can't let go. - Okay.
I can't do it. Rest.
It's okay. I think we can do it.
Hey! Eat this!
Suk Moo!
You can't even catch that?
Anyway, it's kind of chilly in here.
I want to take a bath.
I'll draw you a bath.
Okay. And let me borrow your pajamas.
- Sure. - Underwear too.
- I'll go buy some. - Come now.
That's a waste of money.
Just lend me one of yours.
Gosh, it's so cold.
Father, I'll leave the pajamas here.
Actually, hold on.
Tomorrow is a holiday, right?
Let's go there.
There and there.
There and there?
Over there.
I heard this is super-fast.
What are you looking for?
Don't I need to take motion sickness pills?
Hello. My gosh.
My gosh. It's super-high.
My goodness. It's incredible.
Was Seoul always this big?
It's my first time here as well.
There are so many houses.
Peace.
Did you get it? Now, you come.
- Over there. - Okay.
Why is it so dark? Hold on.
Cheese. Go on.
- Say it. - Well...
Come on. Stay still. I can't see.
Okay, that's good.
Cheese. Yes, that's it.
- Is that where we went? - Yes.
Daddy.
Let's take a picture, Daddy.
- Okay. - I'll take it for you.
1, 2, 3. Smile.
- My gosh. - Kimchi.
- It feels so weird. - Smile.
A girl that tiny got married now.
I remember when Hwi Roo was born.
I heard the crickets were so loud...
on the day she was born...
that you named her Hwi Roo.
- What do you mean? - Sorry?
Whimsical and mischievous.
Sorry?
When she was born,
the way she smiled looked like she'd be whimsical.
"Okay, don't think too much,"
"and live how you please." That's why...
they're Hwi Roo and Ma Roo.
May I ask you something?
Yes?
What did you like about my story?
Actually,
one scene really got me.
(When she wrote it incorrectly...)
Soo Hyun used to...
He's my son.
I tried to teach him how to write.
But he kept getting it wrong.
So we'd erase it over and over.
And I got angry.
My desire to teach him how to write...
took the front seat.
And I was reminded of the look he had.
I thought, "Perhaps that's what he wondered."
Maybe he wondered where the erased letters went.
I felt like that's what a children's story is.
- Father, the truth is... - Actually,
I recently remembered something.
The first day Hwi Roo brought you home.
I see.
I was cleaning the storage alone one night,
and Hwi Roo walked in with a bottle of liquor.
Then she said,
"Dad, I'm sorry."
Dad. I'm sorry.
- For what? - You said...
it was your wish to see me bring a guy home...
so that you can hit him...
and drink with him.
But him...
He can't drink, and he'll faint if you hit him.
He looked like it.
He looks like a wimp.
But what do you like so much about him?
He is...
Well, he is my friend.
That in itself is huge.
I feel like helping him...
would make my life become much better.
I want to live happily with him...
just like that.
Is that right?
I see.
I kept thinking about what she said.
You know how I was in the hospital, right?
She brought me a children's book,
and it was a line from the book.
It was "Charlotte's Web" or something like that.
In other words, to Hwi Roo,
you're like...
the pig.
Regardless, I thought that would be nice.
The two of you constantly improving...
each other's life.
Father.
To be honest,
Hwi Roo and I...
What? You...
(Episode 22 will air after 1 minute.)
(Episode 22)
Are you okay?
That loser.
I was the fool!
So...
she didn't go home?
She may have gone to London.
What?
Are you still not over her?
That's not it. I just feel like...
there's more I wanted to say.
I'm going now.
Should I go too?
- What? - Geoje Island.
Why?
Should I leave everything...
and live down there?
Shut it.
- What? - You don't mean it,
so shut it.
I'm sorry about last time.
It was because...
you seemed sad for some reason.
And I get upset whenever I saw Mom.
But you're strong.
You'll be different from Mom.
Give Mom a call once in a while.
She always says she's sick.
I'm scared that she'll end up dying.
I'm going now. Don't come out.
- Bye. - Bye.
Where are you going?
- I want to get pastries. - I'll go too...
No, okay?
Hi.
What's wrong?
Well...
Here. Sit down.
Hey.
Jang Hyun...
is staying with me.
You must be close.
Do you want a drink?
No. I have to get to the store to set up.
I just came to buy some pastries.
But Jang Hyun...
I don't care about him.
It's over anyway.
At all?
You encouraged me last time.
I didn't...
You did.
I felt much free thanks to you.
Thank you.
That's my first time ever...
hearing that.
Did Hwi Roo never say that?
If she had, we wouldn't have gotten divorced.
Is it completely over now?
Yes.
I have something urgent to take care of. Bye.
Don't wait for me.
I won't.
Okay.
My goodness.
See you later.
- Bye. - Bye.
Where is she going?
She didn't say.
Isn't she going curling today?
(Curling Center)
- You did great. - I kept making mistakes.
You did great.
- Bye. - Bye.
- See you tomorrow.
- Goodnight. - Okay.
- Goodnight. - Bye.
- Bye.
The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave...
- What's your problem? - Sorry?
How long were you watching?
What? About an hour?
What? Did you see everything?
Did you take a video?
What? No, that's not it.
Oh, my gosh. Look at him drooling!
Drooling?
My nose is running because it's cold.
You jerk. You look just like a pervert.
Take him to the police.
We need to see if he took videos of us or something.
Look. I did not. You're mistaken.
I wasn't watching you. I swear.
What?
Why?
Why did you get divorced?
- Yes. - That's not an answer.
I asked why you got divorced.
- So... - Quiet.
It's our problem, so stay out of it.
Even if we explain, you won't understand.
It's too late now. What's done is done.
You did it because you lost your temper, right?
Then you can just start over.
- We can't. - Why not?
We can't.
We can never.
Look. What did your mom say?
I was going to go down and explain it to her.
But you had to babble, so things got complicated.
Look.
I'm not a child, okay?
Whatever I do, you have no right to complain.
I had my reasons, okay?
So stay out of your child's life...
- Hey. - Don't say anything.
- Father... - It's okay. It's fine.
It is not fine.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault. Don't blame her.
I'm sorry.
Why are you saying that?
I'm going home.
- There are no trains. - Shut it.
I don't want to even look at you two.
I'll go down soon.
You can't step foot in the house.
Father! You should go home for now.
Father...
Hello.
Anyway,
who in the world are you?
My dad is inconveniencing you.
Not at all.
Is that mine?
What? Yes.
Where are you staying?
Well, I'm doing well.
I mean it.
I feel like it's a new start.
I see.
How's work?
How are things at work?
I didn't make it as a technician.
That was my dream.
That wasn't your dream.
We seriously...
don't know each other.
What do you mean?
When people get married,
they think their partner belongs to them.
Nicely put,
they say their partner is the same as themselves.
That's why they try to do as they please...
and mistreat them.
But...
do they treat themselves like that?
Without knowing how the other person feels...
or even trying to look?
I sincerely want you...
to do what you want...
and lead the life you want...
with someone who knows you well...
and can know you well.
I should go.
Yes, me too.
You suddenly disappeared.
Is it nice to start anew?
Yes, it's nice.
I'm going to do what I want too.
Okay. Once the house gets sold...
Let's not do that.
I don't want strangers living there.
I took our savings.
You didn't know, right?
It isn't much.
I'll be fine for a while.
I'll start working soon.
What work?
Well, I don't know how it'll end up,
but watch me from afar.
The exercise ball is too big.
That's right. It wouldn't fit in a box.
Throw it out for me.
Please throw it out.
What?
How do I throw away something like that?
Isn't it regular trash?
- As it is? - No?
It's big.
It'll be hard for the garbage collector.
It'll bounce around.
How do you deflate it?
Should I pop it?
I should go now.
Okay.
Let's go.
Your hair tie.
[Kocowa Ver] KBS2 E24 Matrimonial Chaos "Starting over with Someone Else" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Hey.
What?
Congratulations...
on your new start.
I wish you happiness.
Be happy.
Okay.
I'm going to say bye to Grandma before I go.
Okay.
Goodnight.
I had fun at Namsan Tower.
Okay. Also,
I packed you some lunch in your luggage.
Eat it on the train.
Okay. Thanks.
Sorry.
My daughter does whatever she pleases.
It must be because of what I named her.
No, not at all.
It's my fault. I...
It's fine. Don't say a thing.
I'll wash your underwear and send it back.
Get home safely.

The person you have reached is unavailable.
Please leave a message...
Hey.
You were spaced out for a while.
I was not.
You weren't?
Is that a humidifier?
Yes. It was an impulse buy.
It cost 300 dollars.
It must be heavy. I'll carry it.
No, it isn't heavy.
Do you want to get dinner together?
Sure. Okay. Let's do that.
Let me drop this off.
How about half an hour from now?
Sure. Let's meet here in half an hour.
Shall we go somewhere else today?
Sure.
I wonder if that place is still around.
What?
Let's go.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Did we order too much?
It's okay. We can finish it.
They still have soy sauce peppers.
It tastes good.
This place changed a lot.
I wonder if our old place is gone now.
No, it's still there.
That's right. You said that before.
Should we go later?
This is it.
It hasn't changed.
They're tearing it down soon.
I see.
Were we in unit 301?
Look.
It's still there.
Jo Suk Moo, Jin Yoo Young.
That's right. It wasn't a good memory for you.
It's fine.
There were happy moments too.
For real?
Like when you insisted on carrying me up here...
and fell. Things like that.
- You remember that? - Yes.
I remembered recently.
Recently?
You know.
When your defenses are down...
and you get weak, you remember things.
Did you get weak?
Today,
I almost bought a ticket to Geoje Island.
But...
I felt like I shouldn't,
so I bought a humidifier.
Should I buy a humidifier too?
Did you get weak?
Would I be copying you?
How about a bread maker?
- A bread maker? - Yes.
A bread maker?
Hwi Roo was kneading dough one night,
and we fought because it was so loud...
Oh, no! What should I do? I'm so sorry.
You're pretty good if you don't talk,
but you don't realize that yourself.
You don't know your good points at all.
But that is one of your good points.
What does that mean?
If you don't do anything, you seem quiet and nice.
Are you trying to say I'm tough?
- Do you think you're not? - I'll kill you.
Let's go somewhere else.
Where should we go?
Work is tough, right?
Not really.
It looks really tiring. You're impressive.
Nobody has an easy life.
This may sound weird,
but it's not really you.
True.
You're doing your best because it's work.
I know you're overextending yourself.
I feel like you're trying very hard.
Good job.
I liked being alone,
but that's a bad thing.
I don't like guys who don't like being alone.
- Really? - Yes.
You're the only person who says that.
Really?
You're such a little girl.
What was that?
There's that side to you.
Like you're living in a dream.
You make guys want to protect you.
Although it's ridiculous that I'd protect anyone.
To be honest,
my personality is very annoying.
No, it's not.
You can't tell because I hide it.
But if you look inside of me,
you'll see I'm very annoying.
I can't stand it.
I'd give up,
then I'd want to break everything again.
I go back and forth.
My hair too. I always grow it...
then cut it.
It looks good.
Really?
Where do you get your hair cut?
I just go anywhere nearby.
You'd look good if you'd trim this a little more.
I hate salons.
You know how they act all close...
and talk to you. It scares me.
I'll cut your hair for you next time.
Really?
I cut my own hair.
You do?
Not bad, right?
Yes.
- This is strange. - Stop that.
I mean it. I'll cut your hair.
If you'd cut a little more here...
I'm just saying.
Do you think about...
starting over with someone else?
What about you?
I worry that I'll repeat the same thing again.
That worries me.
Maybe a few years down the road...
Yes.
But it's lonely.
Realizing you're alone.
Sometimes, I wonder...
if I'll die alone.
Sometimes, I wish...
I had someone, anyone, by my side.
It might sound strange,
but those women who sleep with any man...
I feel like I could've ended up like that...
if anything set me off.
Talking to a random guy on the streets...
and wanting to sleep with just anyone.
Since it doesn't matter who it is.
No.
Then you.
What?
Don't you think it's a good idea?
Let's sleep together.
Let's sleep together just once for now.
(Matrimonial Chaos)
Do you still remember?
Happiness isn't something you experience,
but it's something you remember.
I see you in my dreams now and then.
Me in the past. Us in the past.
Is Yoo Young seeing someone?
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry too.
Anyone would be upset picturing...
someone who was theirs with someone else.
Next time, I hope you get the best wedding.
You two make a good couple.
