(Episode 23)
Oh, no! I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry! Oh, no.
It's okay. Are you all right?
Yes.
Then you.
What?
Don't you think it's a good idea?
Let's sleep together.
Let's sleep together just once for now.
Suk Moo was looking everywhere for you.
He thought you went to London.
- London? - Yes.
I see. London.
So that's what he thinks.
I...
don't understand why you two got divorced.
You know...
those kids in school...
that you don't know if they're there or not.
The ones you can't tell who's who.
I was one of them.
I was invisible.
No one was interested in me.
I was just ambiguous in every way.
So I'm not used to people looking at me,
and I never wanted it.
But I think I wanted it from him.
Why must human beings be loved?
Are we really born to be loved?
Isn't that just too miserable?
Birds, trees, and animals...
don't freak out like this because they aren't loved.
Do you think...
people are just happy if they love someone?
If they themselves love someone?
Does that mean I'm the one who didn't love him?
Did you get much attention in school?
You seemed to be used to being loved.
Me?
- I don't know. - Right.
Were you not interested in others?
So whatever others said,
you weren't interested, so you didn't know...
No. Actually,
everyone hated me, so I was an outcast.
Is that considered getting attention?
My bad.
I'm afraid to love someone.
But when I think about it,
it's not that I'm afraid of loving someone.
I think I'm afraid that I won't be loved.
If you love someone, you keep wanting more.
You haven't been at a motel in a while, right?
When was your last time you went to one?
What? Well...
When was it?
That's right. During college.
A bunch of us went...
to sleep after drinking one night.
Don't you remember?
They had that big room on the top floor.
They only let up to eight people stay,
but we got creative...
and had one person go up every hour.
I think there were like 20 by the time everyone came.
Do you remember Hyo Sun?
Don't you remember Hyo Sun?
Hyo Sun suddenly got up and started singing.
He was singing at the top of his lungs,
and it turned out he was singing in his sleep.
He usually can't reach high notes,
but he could in his sleep...
Stop talking.
I'm sorry.
Darn it.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Sorry!
That girl has lost her mind.
She completely lost her mind.
You should've dragged her by her hair...
and brought her home.
Or you should've taped them together.
How could you just come?
Did you only ask if they got divorced?
Does... Does his family know?
Do our in-laws know?
- No. - The person...
Sure. If they don't,
we'll have to undo it.
Why did they get divorced...
if they couldn't even tell people?
What was their reason for divorce?
Do you and I...
make each other better people?
What? You want butter?
It's in the fridge.
That's what we wanted to achieve...
Now, you want cheese?
- The person you have... - Look at this girl.
She won't answer her phone.
My goodness. What did Suk Moo do...
to make them get a divorce?
He went to a good school, he looks good...
Well, he's okay. He's not bad looking.
He may look that way, but he's warm inside.
Oh, my gosh.
Did she have an affair?
Becoming a divorcee at this age...
and staying out all night after drinking.
It's not so great, is it?
You're not a divorcee.
Maybe I should sign up...
with a marriage agency.
That suddenly sounds so odd.
An agency for marriage.
Do you want to do it too?
And go to parties and stuff? That's torture.
You can talk to me.
Why would I pay to talk to you there?
Then where would you like to go on dates?
Somewhere without people.
What about a zoo?
I hate seeing animals caged up.
Then what about an amusement park?
Why would I pay to scare myself?
Then you'll never get married again.
Probably not, right?
It's so cold.
I see you now and then in my dreams.
What?
That's why I feel like it's being continued.
Me from the past. Us from the past.
Let's meet during the day next time.
- Let's go look at birds. - Birds?
I go to a botanical garden by myself sometimes.
There are many birds there.
Watching the birds puts me at peace.
I had fun today, so let's stay that way.
Don't say we're meeting because we're weak.
Okay.
Here's a cab.
You scared me.
Are you just getting in?
Yes, well...
I made something simple. Come eat.
Are you going straight to work without sleeping?
Yes.
So, Hwi Roo...
- What? - Hwi Roo?
Your wife.
I know that.
Actually, I need to apologize for something.
- What's wrong? - I have a canker sore.
A canker sore.
What? Why are you laughing?
I'm eating with my other side.
It hurts so much.
I've never had a canker sore, so...
Is that possible?
You're so lucky.
I feel like I'm going to get one on this side too.
So, anyway, the thing is...
- I need to apologize... - What do I do?
I can't eat at all then.
That stings...
We were up all night because of your snoring.
Why did you come here after getting drunk?
The alcohol must have triggered...
the instincts I had before marriage.
My head hurts.
I wish I could remove my head,
wash it with alcohol, and reattach it.
Fix your instincts. We may move.
What? Why?
They're raising the rent by 300 dollars a month.
And it's dangerous.
Really? True.
It is kind of scary because it's a rooftop.
That's how I met Suk Moo...
Whom did you drink with?
With Jang Hyun.
His ex-girlfriend's ex-husband?
Yes.
What a strange relationship.
I ran into him. What could I do?
He asked if I wanted to grab a drink.
He's fun, and he's a good listener.
So I drank a lot.
Are you going to the publishing company?
Yes. After having dinner with Grandma.
Can I hang out here until then?
Dinner with her ex-husband's grandma.
This relationship is just...
We slept together.
- What? - With Mi Ri.
Why are you telling me? That's inconsiderate.
It is.
Are you upset?
It's not inconsiderate to me, but to her.
Okay.
But...
she wants to break up.
- What? - Well...
Look. I'm sorry, but I don't think...
I can handle hearing that.
Just cherish it, and take care of it yourself.
I'm overwhelmed by my own problems.
Whom did you sleep with?
What?
When we first broke up, I thought I'd die.
It was hard.
But after some time passed,
I realized it was better to be sad...
than living in hate.
It's even better to meet someone new.
Someone new?
The way the past works...
Can someone from the past...
come back as someone new?
Hello.
Are you still living there?
Can you manage to live with him?
Yes. It's super fun.
You're meant for each other.
What did you get?
Ricotta cheese. I'm making a salad.
Just two men?
I liked it when we had it together.
During our third round.
That's why I wanted to try making it myself.
Third round?
We only went for two rounds.
That's right.
I stepped on your foot, didn't I?
Yes.
I'm so sorry.
I have a habit of stepping on people's feet...
when I'm drunk.
Is that your only drunken habit?
I didn't yank at your ears, did I?
- No, you didn't. - Right?
I remember everything for the most part.
Get it together. We never had ricotta cheese salad.
Okay.
Why won't you let him come here?
She needs to face reality.
If she realizes no one will watch Sung Bin...
and how hard it is to earn money,
she won't whine about divorce!
Suk Young isn't incompetent.
Even after getting divorced,
she can get a job and live just fine.
Why are you helping your daughter's divorce?
Is divorce a trend?
Do you think it's better out there?
All men are the same.
Who said I'd let them have her?
Then you want her to grow old alone? She's young.
We fight all the time,
but you like growing old together?
What's wrong with you lately?
She says she's unhappy!
For the first time ever,
Suk Young says she's unhappy.
This is why you get excluded.
Because we won't watch Sung Bin,
she went to your mother.
- What? - Sung Bin isn't easy.
No babysitter will last a month.
But he actually likes it there...
at Mother's cafe.
Hwi Roo's sister has him under her control.
Why is that old woman messing with my family?
My goodness.
Think long and hard...
about which side...
is more like family.
Sorry.
I had asked my mom to persuade you.
I didn't know she'd go this far.
It's fine.
Where's Sung Bin?
I asked Grandma to watch him.
Your mother said...
even if you get divorced,
there are rich women lined up to marry you.
She said you were too good for me...
and I should divorce you right away.
(Law Firm)
Shall we take this to court?
To court?
Are you really bringing up the court to a prosecutor?
You?
You must not know this,
but this lawyer went to my college,
and we went to the academy together.
- I know. - And yet,
you think he will represent you?
You said he's big-mouthed and superficial...
every time you came home from a gathering.
You said he's superficial but talented...
and good at digging into a person's weakness.
I have...
a promotion coming up.
I know.
How could you...
How could you do this to me?
Just because I cheated on you just once?
Don't you think you're going too far?
I've been good to you...
and brought you money.
I did so much for you and the family...
I don't know...
- What? - what you live for.
I want to know...
how I want to live...
at least from now on.
What?
(Petition for Divorce)
I want a divorce.
My gosh.
All done.
I finished my homework. Give me a scone.
They're over there. Go get one.
They have no eyes, nose, or mouth.
He must not want to bother.
Really?
It seems empty somehow.
The girl was always afraid of starting anew.
If she went up a year in school,
she'd have to say bye to her friends.
But it isn't all sad.
New starts are unfamiliar,
but they're exciting.
A relationship between a man and woman...
comes down to balance and timing.
He got divorced not long ago,
and I broke up not long ago either.
I don't know everything,
but with relationships,
1 can become 100,
and 99 can become 0.
Right now,
it's 5 to 5.
They say love isn't something you do,
but fall into.
Many things happened to me too,
but maybe it's more because of the timing.
No matter what happens between any two people,
it isn't strange.
Love does occur out of the blue.
I want to start over.
I'm waiting.
When Yoo Young comes back,
I'll do anything.
I'll do whatever it takes.
I'll do anything to protect it.
If I lose it this time,
I don't think I'll get another chance.
A chance to hope for happiness.
Is that how you truly feel?
Is parting a new start?
Period.
A period signifies the end.
But if you keep putting down periods,
it becomes an ellipsis.
It seems like...
there's a lot more that's left unsaid.
Many stories start like that.
That's how I said goodbye.
He had an autistic son,
but he died in an accident.
Do you still think about him a lot?
I remember.
There's a saying.
"Happiness isn't experienced,"
"but remembered."
But...
A guy who uses an ellipsis too often?
I don't like that either.
What bird do you like?
The dodo bird.
The dodo?
They're extinct now.
You like them when you never even saw them?
They used to live...
on the island, Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean.
There were no predators on the island,
and a wide variety of birds...
inhabited the lush island.
They lived well without any disturbance...
for a very long time.
Since they lost the need to fly,
they lost the ability.
But once the Portuguese reached the island,
everything changed.
Birds that couldn't fly became easy prey.
And after that, the Dutch came to the island...
along with other mammals like pigs and monkeys.
So even their eggs were eaten up.
That's how they disappeared.
In 1681, the last bird was killed.
That's a sad story.
I just imagine it at times.
What the dodo bird looked like...
to live peacefully without anyone bothering them.
Is it impossible to live like that?
They must have been truly happy...
just by themselves.
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E23 Matrimonial Chaos "I'm so Sorry" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I can't seem to get off from this cold.
Well, Ma Roo and Soo Kyung said...
they'd come by this afternoon.
What about him?
He wasn't home.
I think he left early in the morning.
Sorry. Just help me this morning.
We have somewhere to go in the afternoon.
Where?
A nursing home where a friend is staying.
My friend...
has dementia.
Do you know what she keeps saying while crying?
That she needs to cook.
She keeps crying...
and saying that she needs to go cook.
Our lives...
ended after just cooking for others.
That was what family...
meant to us.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
What did you do wrong?
Well... For...
not being good at that.
What?
Are you stupid?
You said you didn't care it wasn't my first time.
- Sorry? - Are you being nice?
No, I meant it.
I really don't care that it wasn't your first time.
It was my first time,
but I was okay that it wasn't yours.
Saying that means you care.
And that's why you're out.
But...
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay, I'm fine.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
No.
Oh, no.
Yes.
We did.
Me first?
Yes.
Look. But I'm sure...
that no one would've seen...
that.
- I'm sorry. - No. It's not like...
It's not like I was offended or anything.
Why did I do that?
Because...
It's probably because I happened to be there.
Did I think it didn't matter who it was?
I hate myself.
You want to eat at home?
Yes. It's the weekend.
I don't like eating where it's crowded.
Yes, that's right.
Do you want to come over to my place?
I'll cook for you. What do you want to eat?
I don't know. Let's just grill meat.
You don't like that.
How about seafood shabu shabu?
Okay, that sounds good.
I have wine at home, so I'll bring that.
Okay. See you later.
Why are you brushing your teeth at this hour?
I need to talk to you.
I'm not drinking this now.
Suk Moo.
Yes?
- Suk Moo. - I wasn't hiding it.
Both parties are single.
I'm not saying that makes it okay.
That's true.
Were you watching?
- The birds? - Birds?
I mean... No. The truth is,
it's been a while.
The truth is, I had been expecting it a little...
- You must be angry. - It wasn't just randomly.
Yes, it was randomly.
It was not.
Really?
So Hwi Roo...
- used to like me? - Hwi Roo?
- But not me, I swear. - "I"?
- I. - What about me?
I didn't kiss Hwi Roo because I wanted to.
Please forgive me.
Stop talking for a minute.
- Okay. - For five minutes.
Let's both collect our thoughts.
Like this.
Okay.
I did that. Like that.
Okay.
I got drunk, so I don't remember much...
Actually, I didn't remember anything.
It's okay. We broke up.
Even still, I shouldn't touch him right away.
Not that I touched him.
I know it's not an excuse to say I was drunk, but...
That happens in times of weakness.
Even if you're weak, there are things you cannot do.
I'm so sorry.
Then... I'm sorry too.
What?
(Episode 24 will air after 1 minute.)
(Episode 24)
I'm sorry too.
What?
Then did you...
So you ended up...
Can we...
talk for a minute?
Well...
I feel strange every time...
I come here.
It's like you.
It doesn't just look pretty.
There's an ambiance around it...
that makes it seem alluring.
Not at all.
I've never envied other people before,
but I envy you a lot.
If I were a man,
I would've married a woman like you.
I think I would've married someone like you.
But both of us are divorced.
Are men just weird?
Everyone has their right match.
What did you want to tell me?
It's not that I want to tell you something.
I rather want to ask you something.
Go ahead.
Have some tea.
What is it?
- What's wrong? - What do you mean?
Just...
Let's just talk another...
I can't just leave like this.
- Should I tell you? - Don't push it onto me,
- and just say it. - I'm not pushing it...
It's fine, so say it.
We're not children, so it's not like we'll fight.
Well,
maybe I don't need to say it...
if you already know.
I thought you knew.
Sorry?
That I still...
That's why we're here like this.
Right?
Jang Hyun. You're not...
a jealous guy, right?
Jealous?
Hypothetically...
Just hypothetically,
Yoo Young...
may get a new boyfriend.
- Did she? - No, I'm saying...
hypothetically.
She did get one, didn't she?
Let's say hypothetically,
there is a potato and butter here.
Is Yoo Young seeing someone?
I'm talking about a potato and butter.
She's dating someone, isn't she?
It's not exactly dating, but...
There's butter on top of the potato,
and the butter keeps...
melting like this. Something like that.
With whom is she melting?
Well... So...
Is it you?
Suk Moo.
Why are you suddenly leaving?
I saw murder in your eyes just earlier,
so that scared me.
Where are you taking that wine?
I'm going somewhere.
Are you going to my place?
Did you sleep with Yoo Young?
You startled me!
Did you sleep with her?
He usually can't reach high notes,
but he could in his sleep...
Stop talking.
Sorry. I can't do this.
Bicycles.
What?
They say your body remembers everything,
so even if you rode a bike as a child,
you can ride it again much later.
That's right.
I thought it would be natural for us...
since we're used to each other.
But we learned how to ride a different bike...
No, we learned how to roller skate.
That's why the bike...
Feels unfamiliar.
Are you picturing when you slept with her?
I didn't sleep with her.
Then what did you do?
- Less than you. - "Less"?
Less. We didn't even kiss.
Then what did you do?
We didn't do anything.
You didn't do anything,
but feelings are there.
Well...
That's...
That's not less. That's more.
- What? - Not doing anything...
when there are feelings,
signifies stronger feelings...
than doing something.
- You broke up, right? - Yes, we broke up.
Then you shouldn't be arguing with me.
I'm not arguing with you.
Are we speaking casually now?
Let's do that. To be honest, I think...
it's silly that we're even doing this.
It's pathetic to fight because of a pathetic guy.
- I never fought. - Then I'm pathetic.
I thought you broke up. Why are you doing this?
We did break up.
I said goodbye and wished him to live...
- the life he wanted. - But?
But that's what it is.
Anyone would be shocked if they had to picture...
someone that was once theirs with someone else.
It's disconcerting.
Me and Jang Hyun made a mistake,
but it's different for you.
- That's right. - That's right?
Talking like this with you...
isn't very pleasant.
I shouldn't have asked you to come here.
Bye.
Why don't the four of us talk together?
We must have intruded. Sorry.
Not at all.
This feels very awkward.
Everyone seemed to want to talk.
Then shall I start?
I think...
Sorry. This is a group chat.
It's about our year-end party.
Hey.
Why don't you do that over there?
You don't understand, right?
Should I open the wine?
- Yes. - That's champagne.
I think I bought it.
- I brought the wrong one. - It's perfect.
It's the perfect timing to pop the champagne.
It's okay. I like champagne.
I'll get the glasses.
Stop staring.
- What? - You keep staring at her.
What are you talking about?
I'll do it.
What are you doing?
- We don't have time. - They're having dinner.
- What's with your tone? - Do you not like that?
- I mean... - I'm so very sorry.
- What is it? - I was apologizing.
- It's okay. Let's stop. - What?
What's okay?
What's wrong...
Shall we dismiss the group?
That champagne is mine!
I'll open it!
Hey. Stop it. Hey.
I'll open this and leave!
Let go! Are you drunk?
You got drunk and blacked out...
- Sorry. - Be careful.
That's so refreshing.
Is there anything left in the bottle?
That's... That's right. I bought squid.
Where is it?
Does squid not go well with champagne?
Where is it? I know I bought it.
- It's okay. Dry yourself. - No. I know I bought it.
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E24 Matrimonial Chaos "Then Why Did You Break Up?" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Hwi Roo.
Sorry. Okay?
I must have lost my mind.
Sorry. I shouldn't have said we should come.
No.
No. I wouldn't have come if I didn't want to.
I only came because I was bothered about them.
Let's go together, okay?
I'm fine. I can go alone.
I'll take you home. Let's go, okay?
No. I said I can go alone.
- Should I go? - What's with everyone?
I'm fine.
I know.
You two make a good couple.
I thought so for a while now.
You only broke up because of...
a minor misunderstanding.
You were a good match to begin with.
Both of you are smart, clean,
and neat. You're a good match.
She won't make you lose your temper like I did.
She won't show up late to watch movies,
scratch her butt anywhere,
drip toothpaste everywhere,
and know exactly what you want.
And she must know what your dream is.
- Let's go now. - No, I really think...
you're a good match.
I really do.
Okay. Get up. Let's go.
I said I can go alone.
Let's go.
Yes, Hwi Roo. Go with Suk Moo...
Let's go, Hwi Roo.
Why?
Then why did you break up?
If you were going to do this,
why did you get a divorce?
If you hadn't filled out the divorce papers,
this never would've happened.
Why are you saying this now?
Stop it.
I'm the one to blame.
Why? What did you do wrong?
Did you cheat?
Did you not register your marriage?
I wasn't with her when she needed me.
I only worried about the plants.
I never complimented her cooking.
I always complained...
That's your personality.
Plenty of husbands can't express themselves.
You knew he was like that when you married him.
You said he gets embarrassed easily...
and can't do things even when he knows.
Shouldn't the wife know that much?
No.
When he got home after a hard day's work,
did you ever ask how he was feeling?
Don't you think you're being selfish?
He can't express himself and has a hard time...
meeting people, but he goes out and tries.
He doesn't drink either and helps housework.
He even packs his own lunch.
Why must he feel guilty alone?
You're always right,
and you ignore your faults.
Don't you think you're just as inconsiderate?
What about you?
You knew Jang Hyun was cheating.
You acted like a saint and took it all.
Why are you doing this now?
You said you were happy because you loved him.
You said that was enough.
Was it not love?
That's right. How is that love?
Jealousy and emotions like that...
are all childish in your eyes, right?
They're so childish that you don't want to do it,
but you can't help it, can you?
That's being human.
And that's love.
In the end, you loved him,
but you let him go because you can't handle all that.
Why are you checking that now?
Do you realize how weird you are?
I mean, I am just as weird too, but...
But look.
I didn't plan to do this.
I didn't even want to do this.
I was hoping that one day, we could...
all go camping together again.
We could've done that.
We could grill meat outside too.
Of course,
there are a lot of bugs,
so I still don't get why we have to do that,
but anyway... "What grade are your kids in?"
We could ask things like that.
We'd probably have kids too.
The kids would run around outside,
so it would be noisy.
Traffic will be insane when we head home.
The kids will whine about needing to pee,
and everyone will be annoyed.
We'll look at the cars ahead of us and think,
"I wish I were a bird."
A camping trip like that.
That could've happened.
Then...
Then maybe it would've been surprisingly fun.
Your family would be happy too.
I would've felt a bit bitter,
but I would've been happy for Yoo Young.
And us too. We probably...
We would've had a family too.
That's what I expected.
Because I thought this would never happen...
if I didn't ask...
for a divorce.
But things had to end up like this.
It ended up this way, but...
I'm sorry we can't go camping.
Okay.
Why don't we eat together first?
What are you talking about?
- Let's eat. - No one's in the mood.
Okay. I don't think...
this is the worst-case scenario.
It is the worst.
The worst...
is pretending to be happy without being divorced.
Staying with someone you have no love for...
and don't rely on in any way.
That's miserable.
At least we don't do that.
So when you think about it,
it's the best divorce.
Yoo Young.
Thanks.
And I'm sorry.
Next time, get yourself the best marriage,
okay?
I'll go first.
Bye.
Hey.
Why don't you wash up...
(Today's Brunch: Baguette and broccoli soup)
What?
Like this?
Like this? You'll all live together?
Yes.
We have to move,
but we couldn't find a place we could afford.
Then she asked us to move in with her.
Hey.
You're the one with the strange relationship.
Our place is too big for just me and Sung Bin.
Actually, I need to work too.
I was hoping they could help taking care of him.
Yes, we're helping each other out.
It takes an entire town to raise a child.
Are you sure about this?
You don't know them.
I prefer people I don't know.
People with whom I can keep a certain distance.
Sorry?
Marriage was too close for me.
I'm never getting married.
Yes, sure.
That's a great decision...
for the women in the future,
but just in case you want to get married later,
you need to get your act together now.
You need to learn and fix a lot.
If you grow up the way you are,
no one will want to marry you.
Then I'll marry you.
We're a little more than 10 years apart.
That's not a big deal nowadays.
He's kidding, right?
But...
what about the rooftop house?
Why? Do you want to move back in?
What? Why?
Sorry?
That's so refreshing.
Is there anything left in the bottle?
Where is it?
Does squid not go well with champagne?
Where is it? I know I bought it.
My ex-wife was always cheerful, clumsy,
and always chattering.
Anyway, she was always laid back,
so I felt like I didn't need to worry.
But Yoo Young...
lonely and unstable.
I was always worried that something...
might happen to her.
I had never seen...
my wife, not Yoo Young, being like that.
Right?
How did you know?
I told you...
I have a great sense of smell.
You're wet again.
I smell champagne.
French?
I think I can guess the region too.
No way.
I was right.
We have something to celebrate.
The book's release date has been set.
- Okay. - No!
Hey.
I got tickets for the 6 o'clock movie.
Okay. See you later.
(Medicine)
(Yoo Young)
Sorry. I asked to watch the movie, but I was late.
They always play previews.
We're only 10 minutes late.
You hate that.
It's okay. Let's go in.
Sorry.
It's really okay.
But I'm shocked that you were late.
(Pregnancy Test)
(Matrimonial Chaos)
I felt warm and happy...
that there was someone waiting for me.
I thought Hwi Roo would always be by my side.
- I like Hwi Roo. - Congratulations.
I'm going to keep the baby.
What about Jang Hyun?
It has nothing to do with him.
I'll forget him soon just like that.
You can just be the baby's dad.
