01x06 - Episode 6

Post by bunniefuu »

What has gotten into you?
It's not like you to call first.

Tell me about it.

So how have you all been these days?

Must you ask when
I'm a father of twins?

I'm either at work
or watching my kids.

I feed them, change their diapers,
and put them to sleep.

Then the cycle repeats.

- So he's saying he's happy.
- How did you know?

You look good too.
How's divorce treating you?

Good. So what?

Is it really nice?

In what way?

You know how...

my ex-wife and I constantly argued.

When I was still married to her,
I didn't mind Mondays.

Going to work was better
than staying at home.

One day, I stood outside my house
after coming home from work.

It felt like a rock
was pressing on my heart.

I just didn't want to go inside.

So I decided to wait
until she fell asleep...

and walked toward the bench.

And there was my wife.

She had the same idea.

So we signed the papers
the next day and went to court.

You made the right choice.
You both have a right...

to live comfortably.

Anyway, it's been great.
My ex-wife agrees.

I feel like we were wrong
to hold onto our marriage...

and deprive ourselves of happiness.

Relationships can be weird.

There was a time when we had fun...

just sharing an ice cream.

Let me join you for that drink.
My goodness.

Don't deny it.

We drifted apart...

and became
no better than strangers...

since that day.

I felt guilty...

and you resented me.

This is my first time making soup,

but I think I did better
than my mom.

You need to eat well
at times like this, okay?

Please eat even though
you don't feel like it.

Sorry.

I don't want to.

I'll get to it later.

Shouldn't you be resting some more?

I got your favorite...

Did you throw them away?

Yes.

They just seemed to be taking space.

We could buy new ones
when we need them.

Who gave you the right
to throw them all away?

You should've discussed it with me!

Good for you...

for being able to move on so easily.

Na Hee...

An anonymous donation
was made through an acquaintance...

Aren't you tired?
Should we go to bed?

Sure thing.

What's that?

- No way.
- Gyu Jin?

My son?

There you are.

I bought trotters, your favorite.

It's just for you, my son.

- Mom, you're wasted.
- My sweet boy.

Gyu Jin?

Gyu Jin?

Where are you?

Gosh, I'm wasted.

(Neulpuleun Children's Hospital)

My shift just ended. How about you?

I still have a few things to do.
You should head home first.

Sure. Got it.

Gyu Jin, look over here. 1, 2...

Wait, I pressed the record button.

- You did that on purpose, right?
- Of course not.

Try some of this.

Gyu Jin, say a few words.

We're here to eat patbingsu.

Here you go.

- Isn't it good?
- It's so good.

Are you going
to keep recording this?

Oh, right.

Na Hee.

Do you remember
the snack diner we used...

to go to?

They sold tteokbokki
and patbingsu there.

We used to love their patbingsu.

Why don't we go there
for old times' sake?

It shut down two years ago.

Also,

I don't like patbingsu anymore.

Da Hee, breakfast is ready!

My gosh.

Gosh, it reeks of alcohol.

Why does it smell
like an old man lives here?

Last One.

Wake up.
You should get ready for work.

Mom cooked
dried pollack soup for you.

Wake up already.

Let me be.

I'm not going to work today.

Why not?

Are you still drunk?

I don't have to.

- I'm taking the day off.
- What?

Can interns do that?

What if you get fired for this?

So what if I'm an intern?

Aren't interns
allowed vacation days?

I'm going back to bed, so leave.

Get out of here!

My gosh. All right.
There's no need to throw a fit.

Go back to bed.

Unbelievable.

Da Hee has adopted
quite the temper these days.

Isn't she getting up?

She's taking the day off from work.

She even raised her voice
and threw a fit.

That's not like her.

I'm guessing she's still
not over the annulment.

She had a team dinner last night,
so I'm sure she's tired.

Just let her get enough sleep.

Sure thing, Father.

That workplace of hers...

constantly has team dinners
and eats late at night.

If only they'd pay her enough.

What do you expect
when she's only an intern?

It's not easy earning money
from other people, you know.

You're saying that as if
you're out there making a living.

Of course, I am.

I'm receiving child support.

Unbelievable.

Keep it down...

- and go back to your meal.
- Got it.

Are you taking Ji Hun
to his father today?

Yes, he said he was busy,
but I guess he made time.

- Really, Mom?
- Of course.

He'll pick you up from school,
so come straight out.

Yes, Mom.
I'll get ready for school then.

Thank you for the meal.

You should eat some more!

He sure is young, isn't he?
He's thrilled to see his dad.

Just so you know,
I have work today.

- No one asked.
- Got it.

Get in. Let's go to work together.

Forget it. I'll just take a cab.

There's really no need for that.

Hop in.

Let's do it.

Let's get divorced.

We'll head to the court together
after work.

I'll stop by your office.

All right.

I got it. I said I wouldn't be late.

- Dad!
- I'll call you back.

Ji Hun, how have you been?

- Have you been well too?
- Of course.

Bring him home by 10 p.m.
He has homework to do.

Got it.

Wait, did you dye your hair?

Right, that color
definitely suits you.

Meanwhile, you're losing your hair.

You should watch out
since you're dating someone young.

Is that so?

Is it bad?

I've been applying
some ointment these days.

Whatever you do
is none of my business,

so just bring him back on time.

Ji Hun, I'll see you later.

Do you think I lost a lot of hair?

- No, you look great.
- Right?

That's my boy.

Why did she have
to annoy me like that?

Have you been well?

I said I won't be late.

Must you buy it today of all days?

I have to, at least once a month.

You know that.

What's up with you today?

Hold on a second...

Hello? Unbelievable.

Go ahead. Dig in.

- Dad.
- Yes?

- I'm going to the restroom.
- Sure.

Go ahead.

How can you hang up on me like that?

Must I go with you to buy that?

Mom...

Make the swings bigger like so.

That's right.

Jun Yeong, you can't be like this.

You agreed to film
the motorcycle scene yourself.

I don't think I'm in
the perfect condition though.

Have one of my boys do the scene.

Out of the blue?
Would it be all right?

It's what we're paid to do.

- Jeong Bong, let's talk.
- Sure.

You're closest to
his height and build.

You'll be filming
a motorcycle scene.

A motorcycle?

That's not really my specialty.

As if that's important.

You probably know
how to ride one though.

Come on, Mr. Jang.

You can't make him film the scene
without giving him a heads-up.

It's nothing too difficult,
so he'll be fine.

I'll teach you the route...

A stunt shouldn't be performed
just because it can be done.

Out on the field,
accidents happen...

even when all precautions are taken.

You can't keep accepting
requests like this.

We only have one life, you know.

Tell him it can't be done
unless you'll be doing it yourself.

What?

Mr. Jang, come on over.

We'll cut out the motorcycle scene
and save some time.

Sure thing.

Guys, stretch out your limbs.

Taller ones to the back,
shorter ones to the front.

Look at her handwriting.

Oddly enough, she's a funny one.

You never know,
so I'll keep it as a lucky charm.

Mom, must you be this relentless?

Hi, Mom.

Jae Seok, where on earth are you?

I'm in Turkey, of course.
I just woke up.

Are you kidding me?

Why do you keep dodging my calls?
Why won't you call back?

- I'm sorry.
- Did you call Dr. Kim?

Yes, just a second ago.

Wait. What was that?

I think I heard Korean just now.

- Right?
- Mom,

it was Korean TV.
I fell asleep while watching it.

I guess it kept going all night.

I'm running late,
so I should get ready.

I'll call you when I can.

Don't skip your meals
and know that I love you.

Come in.

Your shift is over, right?

- We should go.
- Sure.

Dr. Yoon!

Gosh, I'm glad.

You're still here.

I'm sorry, but can you
help me with a patient?

Gi Yeong,

I'm sorry but not today.

You should ask Dr. Park.
She's still in her office.

Let's go.

(Neulpuleun Children's Hospital)

It's okay. I'll get it.

Even when it's over,
you still won't let me do anything.

Fine. Let's get going.

(Seoul Family Court)

- Are you Yoon Gyu Jin?
- Yes, that's me.

- Song Na Hee?
- That's me.

Your application has been received.

You have a cooling-off period
of one month to rethink things.

The final decision
will be made on April 10.

Your presence is requested
in Court 301 at 11:30 a.m.

A notification will be sent to you.

- Sure.
- Got it.

You're done then.

Sorry?

- Is that it?
- Yes, the application is all set.

Next!

Gosh, sorry.

It sure is easy
to apply for a divorce.

Tell me about it.

Coming to this decision wasn't easy,

but it sure is to get divorced.

How about we grab a bite?

As if I'd have an appetite for that.

Let's take a walk instead.

Let's be cool.

Congratulations.

On getting away from me and my mom.

We still have a cooling-off period.

Let's not make
a big deal out it though.

It's not like we did it
in a fit of rage after a big fight.

What's the point of having
a cooling-off period of a month?

Okay. I agree.

Anyway, congratulations to you too
for escaping from this life.

Thank you.

I finally get to take a walk
with you after a long time.

But I didn't want it
to be like this.

I'm a little sad.

Don't be.

It's not like we're losers.

We just made a different choice.

You think?

Sure.

You know the condition, right?

Make sure to keep it a secret from
our families for the time being.

If your mom finds out
that I asked for a divorce,

- she will...
- Hang on.

What do you mean
that you asked for a divorce?

This is a divorce
by mutual agreement.

Okay. Let's just say that it is.

It's not that we say that.
It's true.

I think you're mistaken.

It's not like I'm getting a divorce
for you against my will.

I made my decision
after much deliberation.

- Do you understand?
- Okay. I get it.

I wondered why things were
so peaceful between you and me.

That's what I was going to say.

I thought it was awkward.

What will you do with our house?
Will you put it up for sale?

Of course.

We will sell it and split it in half
so we can each get a studio.

Okay. We should call a realtor then.

- Okay. Let's do that.
- All right.

We should do it now.
We don't have to wait.

- Let's go.
- Okay. Let's do that.

Let's go then.

You should go that way.

- We'd like to sell urgently.
- We'd like to sell urgently.

Well... This isn't the right time.

We don't know how
the real estate policy will change.

And the housing price
has hit the bottom.

I don't care.

I don't mind losing money.
Just put it up for sale.

Right. Let us sell the house
as soon as possible.

Really? All right then.

If you want to sell it urgently,

you should lower the price
by about 100,000 dollars.

- 100,000 dollars?
- 100,000 dollars?

Seo Jin, you're still here.

Where's Joon Seon?

He went to the sh**t.

Aren't you hungry?
How could you sleep all day?

Gosh, Seo Jin.
You're good at drawing.

You're even better than me.

Seo Jin.

Do you want me to buy you ice cream?

Shall we go out?

(Young Mart)

Seo Jin, you have a white mustache.

Are you a grandma?

Do you like it?

I'm glad
that I bought you ice cream.

Seo Jin, what do you want to be
when you grow up?

Right.

You have no idea at your age.

Actually, there was something
I wanted to learn.

I want to heal angels
with wounded hearts like you.

But if I were to do that,

I had to study a lot
and go to a good college.

Unfortunately, I wasn't
so good at studying.

So I just gave up.

"I'll just go to a two-year college
and get a job."

"If I work hard, I can succeed."
Or so I thought.

But life is quite tough.

I want to start all over again.

Do you think I can do that?
Can I be brave and start afresh?

I can't? Is it too late?

What? Is it a yes or a no?

Seo Jin.

How did you know we were here?

Ga Hee said
you two went out together.

Seo Jin, your mom couldn't
come to pick you up.

So she asked me to take you home.

Do you want to go home with me?

Let's go. All right.

I'll take Seo Jin home.

Okay. See you.

Bye, Seo Jin.

Just be myself.

She fell asleep on the way here.

All right. I'm sorry.

The bathroom is leaking,

but the plumber says he has no time.

So did he fix it already?

No, he said he'd come right away,
but he hasn't come yet.

- I'll call him again.
- I'll do it.

I guess it's a plumbing problem.
Do you have a toolbox?

It's okay. He'll come soon.

You shouldn't let a stranger
into a house full of women.

It won't take long.
Get me a toolbox.

Wait.

It will be done soon.

Is it doenjang jjigae?
It smells amazing.

Is it done?

Yes. The pipes got loose.

It tastes good with a lot of tofu.

Get going if you're done. It's late.

Thank you.

What?

Okay. I should go.

Gosh.

Bye.

I'm home. Dad!

Hello, sweetheart. You're home late.

I had an extra class.

What are you doing here?
Are you sleeping over?

What?

Are you two living together now?

It's not like that.

He just dropped by
to bring Seo Jin home.

Is that it? I see.

All right.
I should get going then. Bye.

Make sure to turn off the tap.

If the toilet leaks again, call me.

Okay. Thank you.

- Bye, Dad. I'll text you.
- Okay.

Why? What?

I smell food. You should've let him
stay for dinner.

Dad likes your doenjang jjigae.

Don't be silly. Just go wash up.

And wake Seo Jin up.

Mom.

I read an article on the Internet.
A child from a divorced family...

might suffer from a sense of loss,
anxiety, and fear.

So I'd like you to try...

to get back together with Dad...

for my sake. Okay?

You took an exam
at the academy today, didn't you?

Seo Jin. Wake up, Seo Jin. I'm home.

It must be delicious.

Hyun Gyung makes
really good doenjang jjigae.

What do you want?
Shall we sell the house?

We should.
We can't get a new place...

unless we sell this house.

I know. I guess you're right.

But I heard the house price
might bounce back in a few months.

It's not a few months.
It might happen in a few weeks.

It has just hit bottom.

And we have to lower
the price by 100,000 dollars.

That's a huge loss.

I guess an expert
dissuades us for a reason.

Okay.

My point.

So let's be honest with each other.

Let's not be emotional.
We should think reasonably.

Do you think 100,000 dollars
is little money?

No. We've worked really hard
to save that money.

We've gone through our internship
and residency training...

in so many operating rooms
to save that money.

I know.
That's how hard we've worked.

We can't lose that money
in the heat of the moment.

We're not that foolish.
We are intellectual people.

I don't know about you, but I am.

Let's not put it up for sale
so urgently.

Even if it takes time, we should
receive a reasonable price. Okay?

Good. Until then,

we stay here together.

Okay, although it doesn't
mean anything.

We're just sharing the house.

We're like housemates.

Housemates sound good. Okay.

But we should respect
each other's privacy.

Of course.

I will be at the hospital all day
and just sleep here anyway.

I'll sleep in the bedroom,
and you'll sleep in the living room.

Okay.

So we will share this house
for the time being.

Deal. Why don't we have
a written contract then?

Deal.

(Cohabitation)

Cohabitation Contract.

One. Song Na Hee
occupies the bedroom...

and Yoon Gyu Jin occupies
the living room.

Article 1, Clause 1. Cleaning
and interior design are left...

to the owner's discretion.

Two. The rest of the house
is owned communally.

So it should be cleaned
by both parties.

Article 2, Clause 1.
Every Sunday at 9 a.m.,

there should be
a general house cleaning.

The kitchen is cleaned by Song
and the bathroom is cleaned by Yoon.

Seven. Both parties must attend
family occasions...

like birthdays, national holidays,
or ancestral rites.

For other occasions,
prior notice must be given.

And they are attended
by mutual consent only.

Eight. This agreement shall not be
disclosed to anyone.

The one who discloses it
takes full responsibility...

and moves out,
forfeiting all shares in the house.

Is there anything you want to add?

No. It's perfect.

This is the most important clause.

"The one who discloses it
takes full responsibility..."

"and moves out,
forfeiting all shares in the house."

You bet.

Say we're living together
when we're divorced.

Our parents would all faint.

What about at work?
We don't have to lie to them.

We can't tell for a while.

Once the director finds out,
it's only time until Mom does.

You're right. We shouldn't tell
our colleagues for a while too.

Let's print the contract.

Okay.

Are you home?

How much fun did you have
that you're sleepy already?

Was it that much fun?

Yes. I had fun.

Hey, I get jealous
if you have too much fun.

Tell the truth.

If Mom and Dad are drowning,
who will you save first?

I can't swim.

Don't try to talk your way out.

Who will you save first?
Who will you save?

- Who will you save?
- That tickles.

- Stop it.
- I won't.

Ji Hun wants to sleep.

He must be tired
after hanging out with his dad.

Do you still have half the melon?

Give him some when he wakes.
This was expensive.

You're showing off
with a melon you got on sale?

It's still an expensive melon.

Okay, fine. I get it.

Why do you keep
looking at the front door?

Why is that?

Are you hopeful because
Joon Seon went to Hyun Gyung's?

I'm not hopeful.
Don't you make things up.

As if.

You're just looking for an excuse
to get them back together.

- Right?
- You're right.

- I'm home!
- That's him.

How come we're having melon?

Why are you back so late?

Did Hyun Gyung make you dinner?

No. I fixed something for her.

And then?

I left because she told me to.

Is that it?

Darn it. And I thought...

She denied it, but look at her
looking all disappointed.

I know. It's too obvious.

It shows.

- Cut them into smaller pieces.
- Joon Seon.

- Okay.
- You can't eat them all.

Wasn't it for me?

Make sure the skin is thin.

Okay!

Da Hee, come over here.

Have some fruit.

Here. We got it for cheap,
but it's really sweet.

Listen, Mom, Dad.

I have something to say.

Why are you suddenly being
so awkward and polite?

You're not getting back with...

No, right?

I...

What do you want to say
that you're so serious? Just say it.

Yes. We're used to getting
shocking news,

so nothing's bad anymore. Say it.

I quit my job.

Why? Why did you quit?

Did you quit or get fired?

Half and half.

And there's one more thing.

There's more?

The contract stands
until this apartment is sold.

Any objections, Ms. Song Na Hee?

No. No objections.

Then...

(Yoon Gyu Jin)

(Song Na Hee)

There.

I hope we get along, housemate.

Same here.

I'll...

I'll go back to university.

- What?
- What?

University? What university?

I'll study and transfer to
a four-year university.

Mom. Dad.

(Once Again)

Na Hee!

Clause three of
the Cohabitation Code.

You never touch
your housemate's belongings.

Wait, stop.

Clause five of
the Cohabitation Code.

Did you not memorize that one?

- Darn it.
- Why are you so annoyed?

Did you and Na Hee fight again?

Why do you want to know
what goes on in my private life?

You got divorced?

Divorced?

You're belittling me, aren't you?

Get the hostess!

The hostess is right here.

What's the problem?
