EPISODE 1

-U-ri.
-Hello.

Loved your comment yesterday.

Thanks, I love your show too.
Let's get together sometime.

-I'll call you.
-Okay.

BOO HYE-RYUNG'S
LOVE, MEMORIES, AND MUSIC

Turn right.

Turn right.

-Go straight.
-Straight.

Are you happy with the pace?

-Not bad.
-Not bad.

-Aren't I heavy?
-What?

Not at all.

-Then why did you toss me?
-No, I didn't.

All right.

You went through so much to get married.

Yes, I sure did.

That's why I won't get married twice.
No, I can't.

Do you know when I first fell for you?

When you saw me working.

-To be honest…
-Tell me now.

It was when we met for the first time
at Jong-su's studio.

What was I wearing?

We didn't even say hi.

You were wearing bell-bottoms.

And you looked amazing.

With those pants…

I'd only seen women cross their legs.

Anyway, you were playing the drums.

I was just speechless.

You were totally sexy.

Hello?

Hey.

Okay.

Every time I reminisce about that day,
I become excited.

Goodness.

Is there anything you want me
to keep in mind?

Any wishes, perhaps?

Never change.

Of course.

Ask me the same question.

Is there anything
you want me to do for you?

Could you dress up the same way
and play the drums for me

on my 60th birthday?

When you turn 60, I'll be 62.

Will a grandma look nice in those clothes?

If it's you, then yes. You won't look old
even at the age of 100.

-Do you know why?
-Why?

Because I won't let that happen.

As long as her man loves her,
a woman will never age.

-How do you know?
-My mom.

Then why did she age?

What? That's…

That's because my dad lacked
a bit of love.

-You're dead meat if you ever trouble me.
-I won't.

This way, please.

Take your seat.

You can sit here.

Could you sit in the top row?
You can sit here.

Please take an empty seat.

You can sit there.

Yes, you can sit there.

BOO HYE-RYUNG'S
LOVE, MEMORIES, AND MUSIC

Going down.

Who's the guest singer?

It's a band called April Second.

It's a new band.

Who's the fan?

Sorry?

Among the producer, DJ, and writer.

I wanted to liven up the mood.
People are responding well to us.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I can't change the songs, can I?

No, the songs and stories go together.

Hello, sir.

-Please applaud a lot.
-Okay.

-You're so beautiful.
-Thank you.

Are you her aunt?

-No, I'm her mom.
-Gosh, you look so young.

-Mr. Yoon Cheol-wan?
-Yes.

When you ask your question later,
don't grab here, but here.

Okay.

-Ms. Joo Mi-hye?
-Yes.

She's the friend in question.

Hello.

You'll be talking for about three minutes.

-Three minutes?
-How do I measure it?

A story that long takes three minutes.

I see.

Ma'am.

May I ask you a question?

Sure.

What did you like about my husband?

His looks, personality, or money?

Park Jae-hun is my husband.

-Husband?
-Is it an affair?

Answer me. You must have a reason
for dating a married man.

You have an older brother,
and both of your parents are alive.

Do your parents know

that their youngest daughter
is a mistress?

You guys aren't just chatting buddies.

You recently went on a trip
to Singapore, didn't you?

A trip to Singapore?

You may think it's a relationship,
but it's an affair.

What's the definition of an affair?

You should know since you're
a Korean literature major and a writer.

Why aren't you saying anything?

She's unbelievable.

Is that what your parents taught you?

To seduce a married man
and become a homewrecker?

-No.
-Ma'am.

Let's talk after the show.

Then who taught you?

You don't learn about love.

Love?

-Is that what you just said?
-Take her outside.

Your fellow employee

is seeing my husband in secret.

What's your take on that?

I heard you're married, Ms. Boo.
So what would you do if you were me?

I understand, but--

I came here out of curiosity.

Well, isn't she just charming?

-I'm sorry, but--
-She's not the only one in the wrong.

He's the first one to blame.

Then is it okay to date a married man?

You shouldn't do what's morally wrong.

You don't know men.

I may not know men well,
but I know how a dad should act.

My dad also left us

because of a woman like her.

The show will begin in ten.
You should go outside and--

We're done talking. You may begin.

It's tastier to eat someone else's food,
but that's about food.

What makes you different
from other animals?

If you don't end it, I'll humiliate
your entire family, Ms. Lee Yeon-hui.

I heard you married him after dating
three men at once, Ms. Park.

I heard he was dating your friend,
but you seduced him while drunk.

And you intentionally got pregnant.

You stole your best friend's boyfriend.

So what makes you any different?

He couldn't ask you to get an ab*rtion.
He wanted to take responsibility,

so he married you.

But he just couldn't love you.

You're barely awake
when he leaves for work.

You only made breakfast for him once
when his parents had visited,

and it was just fried eggs and cereal.

I heard your closets are full
of luxury items

and that you're a VIP
at luxurious department stores.

He also bought luxury items for himself.

He says he likes me.

He says I look pretty in worn-out jeans
and stretched out knitwear.

I know nothing about fashion.

I'm poor and tacky. But one day,
he noticed me and couldn't forget me.

He tried to forget me, but it wasn't easy.

I feel the same way. To be honest,

I was in a huge dilemma.

I've been beating myself up all the time.

But not anymore.

Of course, I knew this was an affair.

But I won't care anymore.
I'm going to do what he wants.

I rejected him out of fear
when he wanted to come to me.

Let me ask you.

What will you do? Will you divorce him?

Did your father,
a director at Hanyang Dairy,

and your mother, a music professor,
teach you that?

Did they tell you to shop around for men

and pick the wealthiest one?

Wait.

Please take a video.

Hit me.

I know I did wrong. I know I sinned.

But you should've never bad-mouthed
my parents.

I'm sorry.

Where are you from?

-Gwangju.
-Gyeonggi Province?

No, Jeolla Province.

-Did you arrive here today?
-Yes.

Just to attend our broadcast?

Yes, I came along with my friend.

I truly apologize for today.

I hope you still laugh a lot
and give good reactions.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Oh, right.

Ms. Woo Jin-ju, are you up?

I'd like to think so.

Thanks to April Second,

both our listeners and I
felt a bit more cheerful.

Thank you. I'd like to end our show

with one last song.

Sa Pi-young is the producer, Seo Ban is
the engineer, and I'm Boo Hye-ryung.

One iced Americano.

What's gotten into you?

I can't drink anything hot.

You can never judge someone
by their looks.

She looked so naive.

Maybe her naivete was the reason
she fell for a married man.

-How old is he?
-I don't even care.

Find a replacement soon.

Did Bo-gyeong join the morning show?

She's doing it alone.

She and Min-gyeong are going
to switch roles.

Last time, she said she was single.

She knew we'd ask questions.

Thank God nothing happened
during the live broadcast.

If we didn't lock the door after she left,

she could've barged in and caused a scene.

Word will spread anyway,
so I told the director myself.

-What did he say?
-He was relieved.

We now have a reason to fire her.

She got humiliated
and inconvenienced our show.

That wench can't stay.

We should verify the stories from now on.

I read hers again, and it sounded so real.

She's talented.
She made up such a good story.

-Yes.
-She may have copied some story.

Could he be the CEO of a small business?

Will Yeon-hui become a wife
of a wealthy man?

Men don't get divorced that easily.

Especially if they have kids.

My husband cherishes Ji-a so dearly.

For men, kids always come before wives.
They're all about their bloodline.

She didn't seem like the type
who'd divorce him.

She's probably even more determined
not to divorce him now.

I'm telling you, most men get caught
because they're simple-minded.

Are you speaking from experience?

My husband's a professor,
so he can't cheat.

He's still a man. Of course he can.

But your husband is a very ethical man.

He only leaves home for work.

Everyone else loves golfing,
but he says it's boring.

He won't be wasting his money.

Take better care of yourself.

-What?
-You should care about your appearance.

Isn't this normal?

Most writers dress like this.

It never hurts for women to transform.
You should give it a try.

When you're my age, and you'll know.

Si-eun, you were the same as now
when you were my age.

You guys have housekeepers,

but I have two kids.

Who should we side with?

We should side with the wife, right?

I'd divorce him right away.

-It's easier said than done.
-How could I live with him?

Would you be able to live together
as if nothing ever happened?

Of course not.

Exactly.

You can't live
with someone you don't love.

Once the love is gone,
you stick together through your bond.

Our mothers were like that too.

Women weren't self-sufficient enough
back then,

so they just put up with it.

We shouldn't provide a reason
for them to cheat.

I believe it can be prevented
with enough effort.

You're right.
Men are not totally simple-minded too.

If their wives are trustworthy,

they may cheat for a moment
but will never get a divorce.

It's all relative.

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Women also have responsibilities
and duties.

If you don't want a divorce,

it's best just to turn a blind eye.

-Is that easy to do?
-Not at all.

But if you're hesitant to endure them all,

you shouldn't get married
in the first place.

I always miss Ji-a
a few days after she's visited.

Me too.

Why don't you call her over
for dinner, then?

-She has to go to an academy.
-She can skip it once or twice.

Our youngest kid skipped school
all the time

and even got into fights

but still got into college.

And Hankuk University at that.

Call her.

YU-SIN

He's calling.

-Pi-young?
-No.

Hello?

That was quick.

-What were you doing?
-We were talking about Ji-a.

Your dad wants
to invite you over for dinner.

Okay.

Will Pi-young be free too?

I just spoke with her, and she is.

Si-eun.

What?

What do you think…

About what?

About getting a divorce?

HEAD OF DEPARTMENT, THEATER AND FILM
PARK HAE-RYUN

Mom, I want Grandpa to stop
giving me kisses.

I'm 12 years old now.
I'm no longer a baby.

Don't you think so?

Anyway,

I'm going to tell him today.
"Grandpa, I'm no longer a kid."

"Then what?"

"I'm a young woman."

"We should shake hands instead
of kissing each other from now on."

He'll feel hurt. Don't say that.

Isn't a hug enough?

That's what I think.

What's so bad about a peck on the cheek?

I don't like it.

Dad must be home.

I forgot Mom was also young once.

Don't ever age.

I can't control that.

You can take good care of yourself
from now on.

Look who's talking.
Men age faster than women.

Honestly, Mom looks older

than Dad.

Mom, did Dad cry during your wedding?

Yes. Did you see the wedding photos?

Why did he?

He was touched.

In dramas, brides are normally
the ones who cry.

Your dad felt

a lot of emotions.

He felt very grateful to me.

He said it felt surreal.

It was the best day of his life.

Can you seriously cry due to happiness?

-You better not cry at your wedding.
-I won't.

Dad should treat you like a queen forever.

There's no woman like you.

-There are many.
-I've never seen one.

Dad's home.

-Welcome home, Dad.
-Hi.

Take his lunchbox.

I left some.

Were you too busy or had no appetite?

I was busy.

It's obviously the latter.

-How expensive is this wine?
-I'm not sure.

Are you not feeling well?

I'm fine. I just got full
from eating the fruit. That's all.

It's talbot wine. It must be good.

Let's have it with dinner.

It's for your mom and me.

Fine. Enjoy the wine then.

If you can, leave me a glass.

She's sleeping.

She should close her mouth.

It's a short ride.

School life must be exhausting.

It sure is.

You had a band today.

You weren't busy?
Did you have time to listen to the show?

For a bit.

If you were the DJ,
I'd be able to hear your voice.

At times, the producer deejays too.

Then do it.

No. You'll become even busier then, right?

-Probably.
-Then forget it.

What's a marital ennui?

Have you heard of it?

A few times.

You laugh so easily.

Do I look like a fool?

Goodness. I could never live
with a straight-faced woman.

It must be your mom.
Tell her we're almost there.

Hello, Ms. Mo.

Can you talk right now?

Of course. How are you doing?

I'm doing well. What about you?

Pi-young takes great care of me.

I could never get sick.

That's just a load of hot air.

You heard, right?

That I've come back to Korea for good?

-When?
-I arrived today.

You should've told us sooner.
You couldn't pick her up, right?

I didn't tell you
since I knew you'd be busy.

I would've sent a chauffeur.

Are you home?

Yes. I've just unpacked.

We'll stop by later.

You're going to be tired.

Not at all.

We're going to my parents' for dinner.

All of you?

Yes.

You've spoken with Pi-young
on the phone, right?

Yes.

Ji-a is asleep in the backseat.

She'll be happy to hear you're back.

Then I'll see you later.

Okay.

Okay. See you.

Wake Ji-a up.

Why didn't you tell us?

Ji-a, get up. We're almost there.

I forgot.

You know how chatty Ji-a can get.

Ji-a, your grandma's in Korea.

The one from the Philippines?

Yes.

Dad, Jae-in is here.
She'll be sleeping over.

You guys can drink the wine.

Really?

It's open.

Hi.

-You brought your pajamas?
-Yes.

I could've lent you a t-shirt.

Dad, this is Jae-in.

-Hello.
-Hey.

Let's go.

Are we having tteokbokki?

-No, pizza.
-Let's just have tteokbokki.

I'm writing well tonight.

-Why don't we go out?
-Where?

It's been a while since we've gone out.

For a walk?

Yes.

What's gotten into you?

Is Jae-in here?

Yes.

She has a boyfriend now. A med student.

I haven't heard you sing in a long time.

I wish I was a good singer too.

Maybe in my next life.

KARAOKE

REMIND KARAOKE

Let's go in.

You don't smile as much
since you've become the head.

Tell me if something's troubling you.

Nothing in life is easy.

That's true.

This place is nice.

The walls are soundproof.

Sing a song for me.

I still remember your favorite song.

CANCEL

Si-eun.

Will you…

let me leave?

Leave where?

Leave you.

What? Is this a joke?

No.

What are you on about?

I don't want to live with you.

You want a divorce?

Why?

I just want to.

Tell me the reason.

You must have one.

Are you seeing someone?

Then?

We met when we were 19
and have been together for 31 years now.

Let's end it here.

Are you sick of me? Is that it?

It's not that simple.

It's just…

Being the head of the family
is too much for me.

Then take a break.

I'll get you a studio apartment.
You can stay there for a bit.

I don't want to live this way anymore.

You were never the irresponsible type.

I'm sorry.

It's been tough for me.

You always listened to me.

Could you do the same this time too?

I know this is shameless of me.

What about the kids?

Are you dying or something?

Just…

I beg you.

I want to live a different life now.

If you want a reason,

I guess we've lived together for too long.

Even parents stop living with their kids
once they turn 30.

MY LOVELY SON

Take it.

Hey.

Where are you?

Your dad and I are out.

I want to wear this hoodie tomorrow,
but it's wrinkly.

Okay, I'll iron it.

Okay.

I arrived in Korea just now.

Give me a call when you have time.

Are you in there?

-Yes.
-Ji-a is getting sleepy.

Drop me off at my mom's.

Just you?

You can say hi next time.

Will ten minutes do?

That's not enough.
Ji-a will get cranky if she wakes up.

You can go home first.

Where's Ji-a?

I've prepared some melons.

Why are you back?

Because I missed you.

And I'm quite old now, you know.

Go back.

-I know how you feel.
-Then say no more.

I'll tell Yu-sin that your sister's sick,

so purchase your ticket.

You know me.

Don't make me repeat myself.

What should I do to make up with you?

Don't call Yu-sin ever again.

I'll tell him that you left in a hurry
after your sister called.

Pi-young.

I'm going to do what I want this time.

You have

always had your way all your life.

I'm just telling you not to interfere
in my family or my marriage.

And don't cry in front of me.

Hello.

Where to?

DREAM INTERPRETATION

Why are you up?

I had a dream.

What dream?

Are you trying to find out
the meaning behind it now?

It must be one grand dream.

I dreamed of a pig.

-Were your dreams ever precognitive?
-At times.

Tell me in detail.
I'm good at interpreting.

The pig was as big as a calf.

But it was a pig.

Then it came into my arms.

I petted it as it was oinking.
Then I woke up.

You should purchase a lottery ticket
tomorrow.

Next time, just wait until the morning.

Don't wake me up.

It would've been a conception dream
if we were trying.

Have a good meal.

Okay.

Your dad has a breakfast meeting.

-At this hotel?
-No, at Prince One Hotel.

Door opening.

-Where's your car?
-Over there.

I see.

All right.

-Have a good day.
-Okay.

Hello?

How are you feeling?

Did you sleep well?

I had a conception dream last night.

I'm serious. I definitely had it.

I was walking on the beach,
and from far away…

I'll tell you later.
I should tell you in person.

Around 6:30 p.m.

Are you craving anything?

Okay.

-You've gotten better.
-Really?

Yes. You're doing well.

Stop that.

Come here.

Keep swimming like that. Continue.

That's it.

Could you hand me my phone?
I need to take that call.

Here.

Hello, ma'am.

-Are you up?
-Yes, I'm at the salon.

I'm getting makeup for work.

You must be busy.

Your father-in-law just told me
that he had a dream last night.

We were wondering if you had good news.

What news?

It was definitely a conception dream.

No way, Mother.

You should check.

I'm sure it wasn't.

No? Are you really sure?

Yes, we won't change our decision.

-But it was a conception dream.
-Right.

I have such dreams
right before my period too.

-Maybe it's your other daughter-in-law.
-I've already asked.

She said no.

She should have another kid.

What if it's a daughter again?

Did he dream about a daughter?

All right, then.

Okay. Have a nice day, Mother.

Did Sa-hyeon have breakfast today?

Of course. He had your side dishes

with hot scorched rice soup.

-Okay.
-Okay, then.

No?

MOTHER-IN-LAW

They must be waiting for a grandchild.

Yes.

Every now and then,
she calls and gives me stress.

PRECAUTIONS IN EARLY PREGNANCY

PRECAUTIONS IN EARLY PREGNANCY

I can't see Grandma then?

No.

Does her sister need a surgery?

I think so.

It must be terrifying.

Have you ever had surgery?

Not yet.

I wish I'd never have to have one

in my lifetime.

Then you should stop being a picky eater
and eat what I give you.

That way, you'll stay healthy. Okay?

But eating what I want is
the sole enjoyment I have.

That's hurtful to hear.

That means your entire family
means nothing to you.

Those two are different.

Not all meaningful things are enjoyable.

It's very meaningful
to help kids in Africa.

But it's not enjoyable.

Do you burst into laughter
as you donate to them?

Goodness, I can never beat you.

What gives you meaning in life
and happiness?

There are so many.

Pick the best one.

My family.

-What about you?
-Same.

Goodness, thank you.

I didn't add any syrup.

This hotel has the best waffles.

They make them so crispy.

They're tasty too
even though they didn't use much butter.

I should invite your mother-in-law over.

Are you free this weekend?

It's her.

Hello, ma'am.

I'm sorry for calling
so early in the morning.

It's okay.

Can I see you for a minute today?

Sure. I'm free in the morning,
so I'll stop by.

See you then.

Eat up.

When did this all begin?

It's been a while.

How long?

I'm sorry.

I truly am.

Pi-young thinks

her dad died because of me.

To tell the truth,
she's not entirely wrong.

Her dad…

had an affair with a fellow employee.

I couldn't forgive him.

So I started the divorce proceedings.

Then while going to see Pi-young
at school,

he had an accident.

I pretended to be cheerful
in front of everyone else,

but always walked on eggshells around her.

She said she'd never
let me see Ji-a again.

And she wants me to go back
to the Philippines.

It must've been hard.

I can't…

Who knows what will happen to me?

I just want to see you and Ji-a
once a month…

No, even once every few months
is enough for me. So I came back.

If she finds out about this,

she'll be upset with me.

She'll understand
if you tell her the truth.

She refuses to sit down and talk.

If you also want me to go back,

I will.

You should stay. I'll talk to her
and try to convince her.

Don't worry too much.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I wanted to lessen her burden.

But I just can't take it anymore.

I had no idea.

Now that I know,
I'll bring Ji-a over often.

She misses you a lot as well.

Really?

She can spend the weekend here.

She must've grown so much.

How pretty.

She's so beautiful.

From the moment we are born,
we are placed in the ring called life.

I'm sure you've never heard of anyone
who has knocked out their opponent

without getting hit even once.

Even Mike Tyson, the renowned boxer,

said that one should expect to get hit
when stepping into the ring.

Boo Hye-ryung's Love, Memories, and Music
begins now.

Maybe the dream was about Dongmi.

What are you on about?

About her having puppies.

Why would I dream
about a dog's conception?

Both of our daughters-in-law said no.

But it was definitely a conception dream.

That's why.

Besides, you dote on Dongmi so much.

You're definitely a grandma now.
You say the strangest things at times.

Nowadays, they consider 60-year-olds
middle-aged women.

-Who does?
-Everyone.

Dream on.

If I'm a grandma, then you're a grandpa.

All the club members thought I was
in my 30s before they found out my age.

-How so?
-Because of my body.

I wore a hat and a pair of sunglasses,
and they thought so.

Your body shape matters the most.

You should golf. Many people
don't have the chance to do so.

He's handsome, well-educated,

and a competent lawyer.

It would be perfect if they had a baby.

Don't change the subject.

I'm not. I'm just upset about it.

Aren't you?

How could I not?

Just thinking about it…

Dongmi is much better than my two sons.

How could you compare them to your dog?

But it's true.

She gave birth to puppies on her own.

Our oldest son has two kids.

It doesn't matter. They're girls.

They'll practically become strangers
once they get married.

You better not say that in front of them.

In this day and age,
demand a specific gender,

and you'll never get to see them.

Sure, if we were like any other parents.

But they can't treat us like that.

They better not be impudent.

-And if they are?
-Then I'll donate everything.

All my property, that is.

-Good work.
-You too.

Good work.

The opening comments
were exceptionally good today.

Are you not feeling well?

You look down today.

Go home and rest up.
It must be tougher without an assistant.

My husband…

wants to end it.

End it?

He does?

You mean your marriage?

Did you two fight?

HEAD OF DEPARTMENT, THEATER AND FILM
PARK HAE-RYUN

I TOLD HER YESTERDAY
THAT I WANTED A DIVORCE

LEE:
DID YOU TELL HER ABOUT ME?

NOT A WORD. I NEVER WILL.

LEE:
DID SHE AGREE TO IT?

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. TRUST ME.

Just because you've been living together
for too long? Really?

Ridiculous, right?

Have you checked his phone?

You should.

I think he's seeing someone.

He's never cheated on me before.
He's just not interested in it.

I may be out of line here,

but have you guys
been having sex regularly?

Why not?

It's too tiring

and bothersome.

Did you refuse?

Or was he uninterested?

I said no a few times,
then he stopped asking.

How long has it been?

It's been almost two years.

You didn't have sex for two years?

I think so.

That must be why. Don't you think so?

I'm not sure. Many married couples
are like that these days.

You too? No, right?

I'm certain.

You've hurt his pride by rejecting him.

After bottling it up all this time,
he can't take it anymore.

You've lived with him for 30 years.
How could you not know that?

We've lived together for 20 years.

We started dating 30 years…
No, 31 years ago.

Don't tell me you regretted your marriage
right on your honeymoon.

Set the mood tonight.
Everything will be fixed.

What if that's not it?

I'm sure it is.

Animals…

Do you think maybe he can't get it up?

I heard anything you don't use atrophies.

Maybe he doesn't want you to find out.

She never bothered him about it.

Anyway, listen to me and try that tonight.

She's right. I think that could be why.

He's the only man you've ever been with

since 12th grade.

You're so naive.

You may be a writer,

but you seem more ignorant
than young girls in that aspect.

You should do it even if you're tired.
It actually rejuvenates you.

Is that the case for you?

She's still a newlywed.

We have no kids,
so we focus more on each other.

Hold on.

We haven't had sex in a while either.

I should set the mood as well.

He's been putting it off,
saying he's busy.

Never.

I told you last week
that I'd be using that studio.

Yes. Okay.

Which age group is this clothing for?

My granddaughter is 12.

How tall is she?

One minute.

MESSAGES
DAUGHTER

At the airport?

I didn't go.

And I told Yu-sin everything.

-It's perfect, isn't it?
-Yes.

We have somewhere to go.

Right now? Where?

You'll find out.

Goodness, take off this pain-relief patch.

You can't do this all of a sudden.

Did someone invite us over?

Yes.

Goodness, look at your hair.

All right.

Let's go.

Take off the tag.

Goodness.

How much did this dress cost?

It's a gift. You shouldn't ask.

Is it over 500,000 won?
Then I won't keep it.

It's not.

You took the price tag off. Why?

They took it off because it was a gift.

Ms. Lee, you're looking great in it.

The dress really compliments you.

-Hyang-gi, check out your mom!
-She's washing her hair.

-We should hurry.
-What?

Let's go.

We're meeting someone I know, right?

This bag is empty.

Oh, gosh.

We're going to the outskirts?

Yes.

Someone must be having a barbecue
for their housewarming.

We're having lamb chops.

Then we should've bought a bottle of wine.

-You did, right?
-They said I shouldn't.

Who are they?

Nap a bit. You didn't sleep much.

You slept so soundly in such a short time.

Did I sleep with my mouth open?

Of course. I even wiped your drool once.

I'm just kidding. You just snored a bit.

Really? I did?

Is that a big deal?

It's not, but…

That was a joke.

I thought we were going
to someone's house.

-How beautiful.
-Let's go inside.

It's not our wedding anniversary.

Do we have good news to celebrate?

I just wanted to spend some time
with you alone.

It would've been better if our kids came.

They'll be eating
countless delicious dishes.

How do you know this place?
Who did you come here with?

With my students.

Female students?

Yes.

I guess they're more important
to you than I am.

You're too busy with work.

Why would I come here with them?

I'd just have pork belly
and fish soup near the campus.

-Then with who?
-I asked my blogger friend.

I'm serious.

Excuse me.

Hyang-gi loves lamb chops as well.

Focus on us for now
and forget about our kids.

Okay.

I have a surprise for us.

This isn't it?

Do you think we came all the way here
for some lamb chops?

It's a nice place to eat.

We should have some wine.

Have some house wine. I'll drive.

I don't want to drink alone.

The chauffeur fee must be too expensive.

Expensive or not,
I just don't want a stranger in our car.

Then just drink at home.

The bread's tasty.

Aren't you going to eat?

I like watching you more.

I'm certain.

About what?

You've done something wrong.

I did. I've committed the original sin.

I fell in love with you.

I haven't received clothes
as a gift in a long time.

Thank you.

I know I picked it out,
but it's truly beautiful.

I am a discerning man indeed.

I agree. And that's why you met me.

I have to say you've made me
a better man on so many levels.

I used to be so tacky and shabby.

-You weren't shabby.
-Then just tacky?

A 12th grader shouldn't be dressing up.

If so, I wouldn't have liked you.

You liked me?

I thought it was one-sided.

Why were you so cold to me?

I went through so much.

We had to study.

I wasn't interested at first
then your earnestness moved me.

Earnestness? It was love.

-Don't be absurd.
-It was.

Let's get that straight.

Be honest. That wasn't love.

It was for me.

If not, then what?

Just an innocent feeling of fondness.

What do you think love is?

It's more than liking someone.

And you?

Being head over heels
and crazy for someone.

Then I guess we're not in love anymore.

You're not crazy for me. Right?

Of course not.
We're living under the same roof.

I'd go crazy if we're living apart.

That's why I've brought you
out here today.

Thank you.

Let's have a special day today.

How?

I've booked a motel.

-A motel?
-Yes.

-You're kidding.
-I'm not.

-Are you serious?
-Yes.

We've never been to one before.

-How could we?
-Why not?

We're not strangers. We're married.

Just close your eyes and try it out.

Everyone else goes there.
Even Professor Hwang.

Really? He and his wife?

Yes.

That's a surprise.

No, that's normal.

-Here are your dishes.
-Okay.

Let's just go home.

Why?

This isn't right.

Why not?

Let's spice things up.

You're a professor. You teach students.

We're human too.

Is it morally wrong for a married couple
to go to a motel?

-I'm not into it.
-I am.

Listen to your husband for today.

Listening to me will only benefit you.

I'm really not into it.

Let's just go. I'm sorry.

Just like how wearing new clothes
makes you feel good--

Is this why you bought this?

Yes.

It wasn't the only reason, though.
You don't have many nice clothes.

I don't get you.

I don't get you either.

All the other couples enjoy
going to these places.

-Don't you know?
-I do.

-Then?
-Some people like beef

while others like pork or fish.

I've wanted to come here.
I've been curious.

They say it's great.

What's so great about it?

-They have nice facilities and--
-Does that matter?

With love, even a small room is enough.

I know. We were like that.

But everything needs a change.

You get sick of the same food.

-You'll never get sick of eating.
-You do.

We met 30 years ago
and lived together for 20 years. I know.

You're a great eater..
You could even eat five times a day.

Fine, but that's about food.

Let's have some intimate time tonight.

Please? I'm asking you.

We're like roommates these days.

-Are you unhappy about that?
-No.

That's what happens if you have kids.

And I'm busy.

That's why it's just for today.

Do we have to?

I'm not asking for much.

I'd be happy holding hands with you
at this place.

You came all the way here
just to hold my hand?

The dress was expensive.

We had so many lamb chops
and spent so much money.

Let's go home. Think of our kids.
This isn't right.

If I was in their shoes,

I'd be disgusted.

What's so bad about this?

I think I'd freeze up.

Let's go in and find out.
Let's talk again then.

Lie down on the bed and see for yourself.

-Don't you know me?
-I don't.

There could be hidden cameras.

Or people may recognize us
and have a misunderstanding.

Obviously, we're not in the mood
right now.

So?

Yu-sin

understood everything.

He said I didn't need to leave.

Who are you to tell my husband
about our family?

You have no right.

You have me, darling.
Cry whenever you want to.

But only in my arms.

Don't wait up for me.
I have piles of work to do.

Dong-mi. Are you sure you won't resent me
for living a long life?

You really want to end this?

I'll tell the kids myself
and draw up the papers.

-Husbands like me are rare.
-I know.

And there's no wife like you
in the universe.

What's so bad about that?

-Don't force someone against their will.
-Leave.

Your dad and I decided
to live apart for a while.

You're not getting a divorce, are you?
You are?

It could be a boy or a girl…

What conception dream did he have?

Mom.

I'll get a divorce.
