You guys are watching...
My Wife's Male Friend.
Someone asked for my number.
-Really? -I see.
I'm being serious.
This guy that looked at least five years younger than me
kept asking for my number,
saying that I'm his ideal type.
What number? The bus number?
What kind of guy would ask for a bus number at a cafe?
Jun, you're the only person who understands me.
Of course.
A Wi-Fi password makes more sense.
He probably wanted the Wi-Fi password.
Wi-Fi.
Yul.
My gosh, Yul. You almost got in trouble.
Thank goodness your grandmother didn't see that.
If she saw that,
she would've instantly kicked you out.
It's okay.
Yul is an exception.
-How adorable. -My gosh.
This is the first time I saw Mom
forgive someone who touched her orchid.
That's how much grandparents love their grandchildren.
My goodness, my sweetheart.
Ae-bong's friend once got banned from coming over to our house.
Really? Who?
Remember Yeong-su? You had a friend named Yeong-su.
Don't cry.
Yeong-su? I've never heard of him before.
Yes, Yeong-su. I remember him.
By the way, did he get married?
You guys used to be really close.
You always used to talk about him.
Mom, that was such a long time ago.
We have a lot of memories of Yeong-su.
I miss him.
Who did this?
-Who did this? -Mom, what's wrong?
It's your favorite plant.
I'm sure Yeong-su did this.
Yeong-su, that little jerk.
Ae-bong's mom went nuts that day
and cooked coffee cream stew for dinner.
What? "Nice"?
Who drew a fake mark?
Who did this?
Dad, what's wrong?
Yeong-su did this. I'm sure it was him.
Yeong-su.
That day, I had to run faster than Usain Bolt
so that no one could see that fake mark on my shoes.
Mom, I'm hungry.
How dare you skip school?
Your homeroom teacher called me.
Mom, the thing is--
Don't you dare lie to me. You better tell me the truth.
One, two,
-two and a half-- -Yeong-su.
Yeong-su got circumcised,
and he couldn't walk by himself.
Is it Yeong-su again?
Yes. That darn circumcision.
What?
He got circumcised?
Hey, he was in middle school when he got circumcised.
Why would he ask a female friend to accompany him?
It was back in high school.
Was his name Cheol-su or Yeong-su? Anyway, what was his problem?
Are you jealous?
What?
Am I jealous? Me?
Just go to sleep.
Hello?
My gosh, it's been such a long time.
Have you been well?
Yes, of course.
Yes. Hello.
What? Until when?
Until the 10th? Well...
YEONG-SU
That son of a bitch!
No, no. I wasn't talking to you.
That asshole!
My gosh!
You got a perfect score on your KSATs.
What's your secret?
There's no secret.
I just studied Korean, English, and math.
Korean, English, and Math?
Yes. Korean, English, and Math.
What's your favorite subject?
English and Math are my favorite subjects.
-My gosh, darn it! -What would you like to say...
Why do I keep hearing the name Yeong-su?
-A secret... -Darn it.
My gosh, that darn Yeong-su.
I already hate his name.
She recently told me that a younger guy asked for her number.
But I know she's just trying to make me feel jealous.
And who asks for numbers these days? That's so retarded and old-school.
-I do. -Me too.
-Us. -Us.
The main point of seduction
is to muster up your courage and approach your target.
You need to be careful so that she doesn't feel threatened.
Excuse me, you dropped something.
-My gosh. -What did I drop?
Well, you dropped money.
Your money...
When you approach a woman,
you need honesty and courage.
You need to approach her confidently and ask her if she's free.
Excuse me, but do you have...
He's so cool.
You can keep walking that way and take a right at the intersection.
Then take bus number 171 and keep going.
What was that? Did you chicken out
and ask her for the direction?
I asked her if she had time.
What happened?
She told me to get lost
in a seriously kind manner.
I didn't know your hobby was flirting with women.
Whatever.
Whatever the case, I still trust Ae-bong, the mother of my child.
Yes, of course.
But about that friend named Yeong-su,
I really have a seriously bad feeling about him.
I have a question for you.
Who do you think is the most dangerous type of male friend for your wife?
One, a friend from church. Two, a friend from a temple.
Three, a friend she's known ever since she was young.
Four, a divorced friend. Five, a single friend.
I think the guy who got divorced would be the most dangerous. Number four.
You're wrong. The answer is all five.
Men and women can't be friends.
He's right.
My mommy said the same thing.
Of course.
I'm going to teach that Yeong-su a lesson.
Do you understand? He better watch out.
-He better watch out. -He better watch out.
-Seriously. -He better watch out.
AE-BONG'S CATERING SERVICE
You have everything, Ae-bong.
You have a husband, a kid, and a business.
You should treat me to a meal.
I heard you're getting a lot of catering orders.
Gosh, it's not a big deal.
I just cook whatever I want to eat
and share it with others.
I saw her cooking the meals.
Ae-bong really cooks whatever she wants to eat,
so there's no set menu.
But people like it because it's fresh.
I know. I was really surprised.
By the way, do you guys remember Yeong-su?
-Yeong-su? -Yeong-su?
It's been so long since we talked about him.
It would be nice if he was Yeong-su.
What?
No, never mind. It's nothing.
It just reminded me of back when we were in high school.
Come to think of it,
Ae-bong couldn't live without him back then.
Yes, I spent most of my teenage years with him.
Anyway, you're saying Seok is firing up with jealousy
because of Yeong-su, right?
Jealousy between men and women
is like light and salt.
Use it to your advantage.
Okay, I'll do that.
Shall I pull a prank on him?
Hey, Seok's home.
Bye.
Yeong-su, stop it.
I told you numerous times.
I have a husband and a daughter that I love.
My gosh, I'm going to hang up. Bye.
Hey, Ae-bong. Who was that?
Why did you hang up so hurriedly?
Oh, it was Tae-ja and Suk-hui.
What? Which one?
Suk-ja or Tae-hui?
It was both.
Why do you keep asking?
You should wash up and eat dinner.
What?
How could you talk to another guy while carrying Yul-bong on your back?
What? Why does she look so pretty?
But then again, Ae-bong always had pretty collarbones
that were deep enough to hold water. My gosh, that neckline.
Look at her neckline.
Gosh, she's like a black pearl. Her skin color is so sexy.
How can she be so pretty even after giving birth?
No wonder Yeong-su
won't leave her alone even when she's married.
What? Aren't you going to eat?
I guess no one's home.
They went outside to have lunch with someone.
-You get off work early today, right? -Yes.
Come pick me up afterwards.
Okay.
-What's wrong? -What is it?
She must have pooped.
-Bye. -Okay.
Yeong-su, stop it.
I have a husband and a daughter that I love.
My gosh.
What was that sound?
Seok!
Honey!
No, it's nothing. I'll see you later!
She's usually really clumsy,
but she deleted all of Yeong-su's call records.
Gosh, there's nothing here.
-A thief broke in? -Come here.
-What's going on? -It's unbelievable.
This never happened before.
What happened?
A thief broke in? My gosh, that's unbelievable.
How did he manage to break in during broad daylight?
-How are they going to find it now? -Exactly.
-I feel bad for Ae-bong's family. -What?
-Hey, you're here. -Hello.
What? Are they looking for this?
My gosh, I can't believe a thief broke in.
Hey, Seok.
Hello, Father.
Seok, something terrible happened.
I found out that a thief had broken into our house
after I woke up from a nap with Yul.
What should I do?
Things just got out of hand.
Who is he?
He's my son-in-law.
Where were you during the time of the incident?
Pardon?
Well, to be honest...
My husband's a webtoon artist.
He had a meeting, did some editing, and came straight home. Right, Seok?
What? Yes, that's right.
Okay.
Can you please explain what happened again?
Again?
We told you seven times already.
Aren't you forensic science officers?
Let's calmly think about how I'm going to handle this.
First, I need to get rid of the evidence.
Okay, I found a great spot.
I thought the fine dust level would be okay.
But when I woke up, my throat started to hurt.
It felt really weird, so I went outside to check.
And there was so much fine dust,
but there were a lot of people outside.
I'm sorry, Yul.
FORENSIC TEAM
I guess this is forensic science.
Did you find anything?
Fingerprints.
This is a new kettle that I picked up earlier.
It's new, so it will only have my fingerprints.
What should I do?
We don't have a family photo.
Can you take a photo for us? There we go.
Can you help?
-They are taking photos. -Come here.
If I get rid of the kettle,
they will be more suspicious because they already have a photo of it.
-I hope you find something. -Thank you.
Okay, nice. A tooth for a tooth.
I'll fight forensic science with science.
I just need to add fingerprints
of other people in the family.
Perfect.
Did you check the kettle?
Yes, I checked for fingerprints earlier.
But I only found fingerprints of the family members.
Really?
Wait a minute. The fingerprints are pointing in weird directions.
-What's wrong? -Take a look.
This one belongs to the father.
-And this one. -It's the mother's, right?
And this one's the daughter's.
-And look at this one. -It's the son-in-law's.
Yes, that's right.
But according to the direction of the fingerprints...
What's wrong with this family?
They don't know how to use a kettle.
We would like a large-sized photo of the one you took earlier.
We will be off now.
We will call you
-after we check the CCTV footage. -Okay.
-Bye. -Okay, bye.
The CCTV footage?
Does that mean they will find out that I lied?
Then I guess I should just confess the truth.
I'm sorry.
I'm the one who stole it.
-What? -What?
What did you say?
Why?
Well, the thing is...
Well, this is all because of Yeong-su.
Here you go.
What does Yeong-su have anything to do with my husband's underwear?
She's right. And why are you suddenly mentioning Yeong-su?
Pardon? Father's underwear?
Are you saying someone stole your underwear?
I know that you respect me a lot,
but you stole my underwear?
You really went overboard this time.
I finally found my cell phone.
So you're the one who had it.
Is this the police?
Well, it turns out that my son-in-law
was the one who stole my underwear.
Yes, okay. I'll give him a lecture.
You're so full of jealousy
So you secretly stole my cell phone
to find traces of Yeong-su
and ended up becoming an underwear thief?
Hey, hurry up and tell me.
You said you will show him to me once we get home.
Do you still have a photo of him?
I'm pretty sure you also have a friend like him.
What are you talking about? You're the only woman in my life.
I don't have a female friend.
I'm talking about a friend that helps you get out of trouble.
What are you talking about?
Oh, I see. Yes.
You should've just approached him
and confidently told him how you feel.
Okay, call me back.
Who did this?
My gosh, I'm sure Yeong-su did this.
Gosh, I shouldn't have invited him over.
Dad deserves to wear famous brand shoes.
"Nice."
It looks good. Okay.
That's who Yeong-su was.
What? That's who he was?
Yes, that's right. Yeong-su.
My gosh, why didn't you say so?
My gosh, seriously. What did I do?
I can't believe this. Yeong-su.
I was about to kill that guy.
You should've told me.
My gosh, you were so jealous.
What are you talking about?
I wasn't jealous.
Next up...
Party Time.
Hey, why did you stick that there? You should've stuck it there.
-Do it properly. -Okay.
Hey, are you almost done editing?
I think my eyes are going to pop out.
I've been editing for 49 hours,
but I'm still not done.
This is like a factory.
If I ever have a second child,
he or she won't get a first birthday party.
But shouldn't you have a wedding
before Yul's first birthday party?
Oh, right. I didn't even have a wedding.
A first birthday party?
There's an order to parties, you know.
You should have a wedding before the first birthday party.
Is Ae-bong okay with it?
She didn't say anything, so I guess so.
My goodness gracious.
Hey, when a woman stays silent,
it just means she's angry and upset.
Gosh, but we can't hold two events at once.
Ae-bong's already really stressed
because of Yul's first birthday party.
I even have to ask her for permission to breathe.
But the reason women are so obsessed about weddings
is because they get to wear a wedding dress.
Wait a minute. I'm a genius.
She can wear a wedding dress at Yul's party.
Hey, stop talking nonsense. My gosh.
Is it that absurd?
That's a great idea. I like it.
-Really? -It's hitting two birds with one stone.
It will be a party for both Ae-bong and Yul-bong. It's a great idea.
-You want what? -A wedding.
Ae-bong got pregnant with Yul before we got married,
so we never got to have a wedding.
I'm sorry I made the decision on my own.
No, it's okay. I'm really touched.
You just got rid of all the stress I got from preparing Yul's party.
Seok, thank you so much.
-My gosh. -We should've done it a long time ago.
I'm sorry I didn't think of it earlier.
What? Mom, are you crying?
Why are you crying?
Why are you more touched than me?
Your mother must've been really upset
that we never got to have a wedding.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I envy Ae-bong so much.
I never got to wear a wedding dress in my life.
Pardon?
That's why your mother-in-law gets upset about wedding dresses.
So you're saying she never got to wear a wedding dress
because you guys had a traditional Korean wedding?
Mother was crying so much earlier,
so I thought you never even had a wedding.
Wait. Come to think of it,
our wedding anniversary is coming up soon.
This year's wedding anniversary means a lot to us.
Why? Is it like your 30th or 40th anniversary?
No, it's our 33rd anniversary.
-Why is that special? -Do you not know?
You can skip the tenth and twentieth,
but you should never skip the 33rd anniversary.
That's right. That should never happen.
It's okay, Mom. Cheer up.
Gosh, forget it.
Hey, are you crazy?
On top of Yul's party and our wedding,
you also want to hold a remind wedding for my parents?
Well, what can we do?
Your mom cried because she never got to wear a wedding dress.
"Oh, I see.
I feel so sorry for you." Is that what I should've said?
Yes, that's exactly what you should've said.
After we're done with Yul's birthday party,
we can take a commemorative photo for them.
Hey, do you think it will be that simple?
My gosh.
I barely put her to sleep.
I almost died while preparing for Yul's first birthday party.
But you just had to get us in this mess just so you could become
a nice son-in-law.
Hey, what else was I supposed to do? I wanted to make your parents happy.
Why are you taking it out on me?
You should've offered your parents a wedding as well.
I never asked for a wedding.
But you're going to take so much credit for this.
So let's make it even.
So you're saying you want us to celebrate something
on the day of Yul's birthday party?
Yes, we're going to have a wedding.
And my in-laws will have...
a remind wedding for their 33rd anniversary.
So you should also celebrate something.
Why are you so obsessed with celebrating?
There's nothing to celebrate.
Come on. You can celebrate anything you want.
For example, Dad can celebrate selling 100 chickens at his restaurant.
Mom got 99 points at a karaoke.
-Jun, you can... Do you have anything? -Let me think about it.
Okay, tell me once you think of something.
Okay.
Are you happy now?
Have you decided on what to celebrate?
Well...
My gosh.
Dad, why are you hesitating to tell us?
Gosh, this isn't what I was intending on celebrating.
We've decided
to graduate from marriage
on the day of Yul's birthday.
What?
-What? -We both thought about
what we should celebrate as a couple.
And after having been married for 38 years,
we finally realized that we're really not a good match.
So we decided to end our marriage
and graduate from it.
I'll announce that I won't get married.
It's very rude to ask one woman
to live with me for the rest of my life when I'm such a free soul.
So I was wondering if I could set up a booth
to receive money to celebrate my big announcement
since I'll practically be marrying myself.
My gosh, this is all my fault.
No, it's my fault.
You started this with good intentions.
I feel like I made your parents get a divorce.
I mean, graduate from marriage.
Everyone in my family always ends up
doing something weird in the end.
Seok, I have an idea. How about we just
turn Yul's birthday party into a family party?
-What? -Then
your parents won't graduate from marriage,
and Jun won't decide to stay single.
Things might change positively.
That doesn't sound bad.
Ae-bong.
You're so intelligent.
I'm so glad I got married to you.
Yes, of course.
Okay, then.
-Let's make a toast. -To tomorrow's birthday party!
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Drink up.
Hello, Mother.
You look beautiful today.
I'm the best-looking one here
You look beautiful yourself.
I'm so hot
I'm so pretty
Mom, let's go. Come on, Mother.
-Okay. -Let's go.
So this is the venue.
-Dad, you look great today. -Jun.
Hey, Seok.
Dad, what are you wearing?
It's like you're shooting a detergent commercial.
-What's up with your suit? -It's pure white.
Gosh, I can't believe you're wearing this.
You think it looks tacky?
You really need to stop copying me.
I put this on this morning.
I've been wearing this since yesterday.
What?
Let's go.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YUL'S BIRTHDAY
-Hello, Jun. -Hey.
My goodness.
-Hello. -Hi.
-Isn't she pretty? -Mother.
-You're so pretty. -Thanks.
Mom. Dad.
What are you doing? You should go sit down.
Come on. Go to your seats.
Why were you awkwardly standing there?
Take your seats.
Hey.
Hey, eat this before you start so that you don't get nervous.
And we have a tight schedule,
so you guys need to host the party properly.
Okay.
So just to be sure, I'm in charge of Yul-bong's birthday party
and your wedding.
-And Bu-wuk... -I'm in charge of the remind wedding,
the marriage graduation, and the single life celebration.
It will be a very extreme party.
Yes, I know. I trust you will do well.
-Okay. -Good luck.
-Let's see. -Thank you for your work.
This is an herbal sedative that was made by Heo Jun.
I hope you do a good job today.
Thank you, sir.
Let's go over it.
Thank you for hosting today's event.
This is a top-class herbal anxiety pills.
Here. Eat it.
Good luck.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Bu-wuk.
My heart feels weird.
The room is spinning.
Are we okay?
Please welcome...
The bride and groom.
My gosh, I'm so excited.
Now, it's time for the most important step of a marriage graduation.
Please turn in your rings and sign the agreement
regarding the division of property.
That's for us.
You guys, it's my parents who are graduating from marriage.
Yes!
You fools.
Now, it's time for the main highlight of today's party.
Grab one item among all the items
that are placed on the table.
Ready, set, go!
-My goodness. -Oh, gosh.
Let go of it.
Let it go before I rip it apart.
Yul, I'm sorry.
I'll throw you another birthday party.
Today is a mix of so many events,
and we're sorry for mixing up the order.
Let's now continue to have fun.
Now, I'd like to ask today's star to shout "Hurray" three times
and do push-ups.
CHO YUL'S FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY
-They are crazy. -Can she do push-ups?
Don't cry. We know that you don't know how to do push-ups.
But we know you can raise your hands up.
Jun thinks she can do it.
My gosh.
To celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary,
they will be announcing their remind wedding vows.
I, Ae-bong's father...
I, Ae-bong's mother,
-wish to end -wish to end
-my marriage. -my marriage.
That's for us.
MARRIAGE GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENT
-Those lunatics. -My goodness.
Have you gone mad?
Bu-wuk, watch out.
I would like to ask the guests...
They're your friends.
Now, it's time for the groom
to kiss the bride.
SINGLE LIFE CELEBRATION
-Kiss! -Kiss!
-You need to shout louder!
I've never seen someone so vulgar.
Unbelievable.
Now, it's time for the very last part of today's party.
It's the main part.
Yul's mother, Ae-bong, made this herself.
It's a video that shows Yul growing up. Let's enjoy it together.
Gosh, you guys should sit closer.
We're already sitting close enough, you punks.
My gosh, you're so nice, Mom.
Do we look good together?
-Hug me. -This will last forever.
Which one's Yul-bong?
Why would I hug you?
You should hug me.
-Okay, fine. -Dad, you should kiss Mom.
-You crazy punks! -We used love each other like crazy.
Kiss her!
How did we end up graduating from marriage?
Honey, let's really end our marriage.
And then,
let's start over again.
My gosh, honey. What was that?
Forget about graduating marriage.
-You look happy, Mom. -Do you want me to kiss you as well?
I can do better.
Gosh, when did you prepare this video?
I'm so touched.
Who in the world lost the video of Yul-bong
that I worked so hard to edit?
-Gan Sin. -Hey, Ae-bong.
-They came here to help us. -No, they've already done enough.
-Hey. -It's ruined.
It's all ruined. I'm going to kill them.
-My gosh. -No, Ae-bong.
-Ae-bong. -Ae-bong.
-Stop. -Calm down.
-Get over here. -Please calm down.
You're too worked up right now.
Ae-bong's really stressed right now because she's been on a diet.
Hey, let go of me!
Ae-bong, come on. Hold it.
You need to hold your anger.
Forgive them for Yul's sake.
Yul.
Yul, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry we took advantage of your birthday.
SLAVE
CHIEF
Ae-bong, are you happy?
Yes, I'm really happy.
Don't lie.
I can obviously tell that you're really annoyed.
What? Can you hear the sound of my heart?
Of course.
I'm Cho Seok, the writer of The Sound of Your Heart.
Goodbye, troublesome family.
