Lee Young-jae...
I...
want to go to you...
Will you accept me?
He said that if our marriage is just a business deal...
He wants a chance too.
What?
Can I...
That guy...
Can I like him?
My poultry you woke up early to make breakfast?
I'm sorry.
I'm not supposed to call you that.
What am I going to call you now?
How about cuckoo?
What?
You woke up early to make breakfast?
Good bird, my cuckoo.
Where did it go?
Here...
I didn't do anything.
Toast again?
Are you going to keep this up?
We agreed to have toast on my busy days.
But what could be keeping you busy?
What is it?
I have a meeting
with Min-hyuk in the afternoon.
Why?
No reason...
Then you're having
lunch with him too?
Who knows?
Ask him to buy you something good and expensive.
Money's the only thing he's got going for him.
He always does anyway.
Yes.
I'm glad to hear that.
Now that I think about it...
I haven't bought you a decent meal.
I always stood you up.
Han Ji-eun.
Yes?
If...
If you like Min-hyuk, go ahead.
You don't have to ask me.
Your heart wasn't included in the contract.
Our marriage is based on a contract
but your heart wasn't included.
Your heart...
belongs to you.
Clean up until I get back.
Don't forget refrigerator and water the plants.
Why should I do this all?
Don't if you don't want to.
Why are you so irritated?
Are you going to be late?
I'll have to see.
See you.
Yes, good for you.
Yes, my heart belongs to me
I'll do whatever I want with it.
It's much better
after a revision.
Really?
I'm glad to hear that.
So we're going to make a movie
based on this synopsis?
Well...
I'm not sure about that
I see.
We'll decide after the script is ready.
Since you wrote it,
why don't you write the script too?
What?
Me?
You don't think you can?
Well,
I don't think I can...
Then again, I think I can do a good job.
I'm not sure.
Don't worry. You'll do just fine.
Let's think about that later, let's go have lunch.
I'll buy you something good.
This is something good?
Why?
Isn't it good?
I assumed we'd go to some fancy
restaurant to have lobster or something.
I saw this when we were out the other day.
It looked delicious.
I really wanted to try it
but I couldn't alone.
Really?
Then again you wouldn't want
to be eating this dressed like that.
As a matter of fact
there's nothing I can't do alone
but now I have
because of you.
You know...
about what you said the other day...
I promised Lee Young-jae that our contract
would be good for three years.
Don't worry about that.
I'll take care of the contract and the house for you.
What?
How
will you handle it?
I'll take care of everything. You have nothing to...
I think there's a misunderstanding.
I'm the one who got into this contract with Young-jae.
It's not something
someone else can take care of for me.
I only meant...
I was just worried that your heart was bound
because of that contract.
That's not true.
My heart belongs to me.
I'm sorry if I offended you.
I apologize.
No.
Actually,
I'm the one who got a problem.
Yes?
My heart belongs to me, but...
I don't understand my own heart
I really
don't like Lee Young-jae
I hate him.
He always calls me poultry
chicken, and rice cooker.
He works me like a slave
only to yell at me later.
And...
And he...
He only likes someone else.
He always makes me wait.
I...
I really dislike him,
I really do.
But...
But
he makes me so happy...
And he
breaks my heart too...
I'm really weird, aren't I?
Hello?
Yes, how are you?
The movie isn't doing well.
I hear,
it's being pulled out of the theaters already.
The movie wasn't as good as his other movies
but his untimely marriage had an impact too
I hear he's not getting commercials either.
We had to pay damages for breach of contract in some cases.
And this movie isn't
helping the situation.
But I guarantee
that Lee Young-jae is here to last
I can promise that.
Yes.
I heard you're in film producing also.
What kind of movie
are you interested in?
I have a couple on my mind
but nothing's been decided.
Well,
I want to assign Lee Young-jae in advance.
I'm thinking about the role
held fit with him.
Han Ji-eun.
Han Ji-eun!
Were you waiting for me very long?
No, I wasn't waiting for you at all.
I had just come outside when I saw you
I should've come home later.
What?
Why were you waiting for me?
So I could cook for you?
Of course.
Why else would I be waiting for you?
Did you clean like I told you to?
Clean?
Can't you see?
The place is spotless.
It's completely different from your half-hearted jobs.
Anyhow,
Did you eat something nice
with Min-Hyuk?
Yes.
What did you eat?
It's a secret.
Did you
tell Min-hyuk?
What?
That
it's okay for you to like him...
Yes.
What did he say?
What else? He said thanks.
I'm going to give it a try with Min-hyuk from now on.
So don't meddle in my business.
Who says I do?
I only wanted to wish you luck.
Yes, we'll work it out.
Fine, go ahead.
Yes, we will.
Yes, so go ahead.
Fine, I got it, I'll go ahead.
Han Ji-eun.
What's wrong with you?
What?
Why are you taking it out on me?
When did I do that?
You've been dumping on me all day today.
I did everything you told me to do,
I even said you could go out with Min-hyuk.
I agreed to all your terms in our contract...
So why are you pouting like that?
What's the problem?
Mr. Lee.
What? Why?
I have no problems with you.
So why are you doing this?
It's just... work.
I'll be busy from now on.
I'm writing a script.
What? You're writing a script?
He wants me to write a script
based on my synopsis
I'm proud of my poultry...
I mean, my cuckoo.
I thought you always got rejected and
you're even writing a script now?
So you'll have to do all the chores from now on since you have lots of time on your hands
I can't do that.
You don't have to
pay me anymore okay?
What?
So don't ask me to cook for you anymore
I'm not your rice cooker anymore.
And
if you ever call me cuckoo again
you're dead.
Han Ji-eun,
did you do the dishes?
I'll do them later.
Later when?
Do them now.
It's my prerogative.
And I'm not your housekeeper anymore.
Don't take that tone with me.
It's very offensive.
What?
Hey, Han Ji-eun!
You want a raise?
What?
I don't know how much you're getting paid for that script
but I'll give you a raise.
So go and cook for me.
I'll never cook for you again
even though you pay me a million.
She's been fine until now...
Is this a cyclical thing?
Han Ji-eun,
let's talk
I'm busy.
I know you're busy but let's talk.
Go ahead I can hear you.
Till now,
I admit I worked you hard.
But I've been helping a lot
since we adopted our new contract.
You admit that don't you?
I believe there's a reason unknown to me why you're on strike.
I don't know what that reason is
but from now on
I'll cook.
And I'll do the laundry
and cleaning too.
A husband should help
with his wife's career.
I hope
with your husband's sacrifices
that you will write a great script that will bring
honor to the history of Korean film.
I Hope a lot.
So how about
bean paste stew for dinner? Okay?
Lee Young-jae, what's wrong?
- My finger... - You're hurt? Let me see.
Go away.
Let me see. Are you hurt?
Wait.
We should go to the hospital, 119.
What number is 119?
Wait, let me carry you.
- What? - I'll carry you to the hospital.
What are you saying? My finger got cut off
I have to find my finger first.
To attach... Look at the blood!
Oh my! Your finger!
Oh no...
Where's your finger?
I can't see it.
Find it.
Oh no... what am I going to do?
Look for it.
Find it quick. What if it rots in this hot weather?
What am I going to do?
I don't know what to do.
Oh no... it's not here.
We could've avoided this tragedy
if you'd cooked when I told you to.
Cook?
You just got prank!
I was lying.
So stop rebelling and just cook for me, okay?
If you ever pull another prank like that
I'll make sure you never use your fingers again.
ls your rebelliousness a cyclical thing or something?
What?
Just when I thought
you'd stopped packing to leave
you came up with that cohabitation
schedule or whatever
and made me talk to the refrigerator.
What got into you?
You do this every two weeks.
You hate cooking that much?
It's not that.
I don't want to be treated like a rice cooker.
What?
A rice cooker is a great thing.
You can't cook rice without a rice cooker.
And a person can't survive if he can't eat rice.
Can't!
Don't you understand?
A rice cooker is a great thing.
You should take pride in being a rice cooker.
I wish I'd get to do a commercial for rice cookers.
Mr. Lee Young-jae.
What?
You...
It really doesn't bother you
that I'm seeing Min-hyuk?
You don't feel anything at all?
What?
What feelings?
I don't feel anything.
I feel nothing.
Han Ji-eun.
You'll get sick if you keep working like this.
It's ok to get sick.
I just hope he'll approve it.
How does the story go?
It's a secret you don't have to know.
When are you going to finish?
Why?
I'll throw a nice party
to celebrate your first script.
You can expect that.
What party? So childish.
I'm taking off.
Where're you going? Are you going to be late?
I'm meeting with Hye-won, won't be late.
Okay.
See you.
To be honest three years is a long time.
But
it's nothing compared to all those years you waited for me.
And it could be shortened,
right?
Well... I'm not sure.
I don't know if it'll be shortened at all...
And if it does... by how long...
I can't promise you anything.
But I think it's best
that you and Ji-eun
both find your places soon.
Hye-won.
Yes?
Ji-eun is where
she should be now.
I only...
That's not what I meant...
That's not why I said it.
I know.
Then promise me one thing.
Can you promise me
your feelings for Ji-eun won't change?
Can you promise?
Yes, I promise.
Bye.
All right.
Mom sent some things for your mom.
You'll say no
if I ask you to drop them off, right?
Yes.
Fine, I'll drop them off.
Bye.
Bye, then.
Hello?
Hello, Grandma.
Yes I finished the tonic.
Yes, I feel much stronger.
Yes.
All right. I'll come over today.
Yes.
Grandma.
Well.
This is so pretty.
Do you like it?
I think I do.
This looks good on you, Mother.
It sure does.
So this is in fashion in France?
Yes, Grandma.
Really?
Your father didn't have to send anything.
We can see each other after their arriving.
They wanted to thank you
for taking care of me when I was sick.
You're practically family.
He doesn't have to do this.
Grandma.
Hi, Ji-eun.
- It's you. - Hello.
Hi, Three-Bears.
Hello.
Ji-eun, you've met Hye-won, right?
Yes. How are you?
Yes. Hello.
That's ok with you because you're younger.
Mother, do you like it that much?
You like it too much.
Grandma you look so pretty
- is this hat pretty? - Yes
I need to buy an outfit to go with this.
Buy yourself one.
Young-jae
said...
he'd take me back
I'm not going to lose him again.
I'm sorry
to you
and thankful at the same time.
That's how I feel.
You don't have to say sorry.
If it wasn't you,
I couldn't dare.
Three years does seem very long.
But it's nothing compared to
the years he's waited for me...
The time period...
I can't break up with him
unless he asks me to.
I know,
I'm not pressuring you.
I'm not in a hurry.
If there are no feelings between you,
it's just a contract.
It's okay with me.
You should've been more careful.
How come you slipped
big secret like that to that tramp?
That tramp'd get excited
and prepare to take Ji-eun out.
That's what I'm saying.
And this is not the end.
If Ji-eun finds out,
she'll try to take you to jail.
Shin Dong-wook! Yang Hee-jin!
Isn't that Ji-eun?
It is.
You were home.
You're here?
Hi, Ji-eun. What brings you here so suddenly?
How much money do you have?
What's with money all of a sudden?
Bring me every penny you have.
We don't have any money. You know that.
You've been sewing eyes on dolls
I don't make much for that.
Bring me every penny you have.
But what do you want with money all of a sudden?
I have to pay Young-jae back.
But he should give you alimony.
I'm going to give him alimony and divorce him.
Hey!
Where did you go without telling me?
I went to llsan.
Again?
You really like my family, don't you?
Yes, I really do.
I wish I didn't like them so much...
What?
Nothing. Did you eat?
Of course not.
All right. I'll change and get dinner ready
Lee Young-jae,
you want me to tell you a funny story?
A funny story?
What's the name of the skinniest man in Japan?
What?
Daju Hainu.
Who's the most famous
soccer player in China?
Kung Ball.
And what's the name of
the best detective in France?
Cuff Yuall.
What do you think you're doing?
Why? Isn't it funny?
It's not funny at all.
Don't tell those jokes anywhere else.
People will hate you.
I think they're funny.
Han Ji-eun.
Something's wrong, isn't it?
No, nothing.
Something happened at llsan, right?
Grandma scolded you?
No she didn't.
Then did father say something?
Mom said something?
No they never said anything.
And
you can call me whatever you want.
Poultry, chicken rice cooker.
It doesn't bother me now.
What is this? I thought we were having toast
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
But you don't like toast I'll cook rice.
Why's she acting weird?
She makes me nervous.
Han Ji-eun,
bring me a glass of cold water.
Yes.
Han Ji-eun.
Yes?
I want ice water.
With lots of ice.
Yes.
Han Ji-eun.
Han Ji-eun!
Han Ji-eun.
Forget that stupid script
and clean first.
The floor is grimy.
Yes.
Han Ji-eun
stop cleaning and sing "The Three Bears".
What?
You don't want to sing?
Three bears living in a house.
Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear.
Dance too.
Three bears living in a house.
Papa Bear, Mama Bear...
Han Ji-eun what's the matter with you?
What?
You're making me nervous.
Why are you singing "The Three Bears" now?
You do everything I tell you to?
You did something wrong,
didn't you?
No, I didn't.
Since
I don't have many days
to do your bidding
I just decided to do
whatever you want.
Hey, are you going somewhere?
You thought I'd live with you forever?
What...
What did you do with your ring?
Where's the ring?
No wonder I knew it.
You were being so obedient
because you lost the ring?
What?
You know how expensive that ring was?
You couldn't buy it even if you saved your wages for a year.
Well, money isn't the issue...
You said you're not supposed to lose wedding rings.
That it's our promise.
And you made a huge fuss when I lost my ring
and now what you've done.
You're such an idiot.
Go and bring me a pen.
Give me your hand.
Pretty, huh?
Draw me a watch too.
Draw me a better one than the last time.
Now I'll enjoy your song
without a care in the world.
Sing!
This will be our feature article in our next issue.
What is this?
It hasn't been confirmed yet
but his rocky marriage
has been in the news a few times already
I interviewed the restaurant employees where
he's supposed to get engaged and things aren't clear as see.
There are some questionable facts regarding his marriage.
It bothered me that
he was
your personal friend
but it's a huge story.
We should expose it first
before someone else does.
Yeah! I'm done.
Yes! Finished!
Han Ji-eun.
You're done?
I'm proud of you my cuckoo.
So sassy...
I bet it's not fun at all.
It was written by poultry after all.
Young-jae,
today is the D-day I've been waiting for.
What D-day?
You'll find out later.
No good will come of you learning any sooner.
Don't move an inch from home
until I come back.
It's good.
Really?
It's very good for a first draft.
It'll be great
after a few revisions.
You've improved a lot over a short period of time.
It was worth the wait.
Thank you. Thank you.
You don't have to thank me.
I should thank you.
Thank you for writing a good story.
Yes.
We should celebrate tonight.
You have any plans tonight?
No, it's not that...
But today is the D-day.
What D-day?
It's a secret.
Then shall we postpone
our celebration?
No, it's all right. Let's do it tonight.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Hello?
Han Ji-eun,
why aren't you coming home?
I'm going to be home late.
Have dinner without me.
No, you can't have dinner out.
Just come home,
I have something to show you.
Whatever,
I'm going to wait until you come home!
Excuse me...
You want me to tell you a funny story?
What?
What's the name
of the skinniest man in Japan?
What is it?
Daju Hainu.
Who's the most famous
soccer player in China?
I don't know.
Kung Ball.
And what's the name
of the best detective in France?
I don't know.
Cuff Yuall
I tell him the same jokes
but Young-jae doesn't laugh like that.
You don't want
me to laugh?
Pardon?
I've been getting upset a lot lately
because of you.
What?
Because of me?
I once told Young-jae this.
"What can you do for Hye-won?"
"Nothing."
"Since there's nothing you can do for her"
just watch her like an idiot.
I feel like Young-jae's getting his revenge now.
There's nothing
I can do for you.
That's not true.
You buy me great dinners,
flowers
and laugh at
my stupid jokes.
And... you come
whenever I call you...
You wait for me... I know that.
And I'm really grateful.
So to be honest,
I do like you a little.
Just a little?
No.
A little more than just a little.
Then there's still hope for me?
Yes.
So try harder.
And practice laughing harder at my jokes.
Baby bear is
so very cute...
That's all...
Young-jae...
Ji-eun...
I wonder
if Young-jae is still waiting for me.
Well...
It's gotten very late hasn't it?
You want to go
someplace else?
Pardon?
I just
want to punish Young-jae.
You're punishing Young-jae?
Yes.
I want to make him wait.
I've been doing all the waiting until now.
He said he'd be waiting until I got home. He's not here
I always waited for him here
until he came home.
I wanted to punish him but
I guess my plans didn't work.
Go inside.
Yes, bye.
Mr. Lee Young-jae.
Young-jae, wake up.
Han Ji-eun.
You fell asleep? You said you'd wait until I got home.
I wasn't sleeping I was just doing some thinking...
I was just here for a moment.
What time is it now?
Why are you home so late?
I told you I'd be home late after dinner
I told you to hurry home.
All right, I'm sorry.
So what do you want to show me?
What?
You said you had something to show me.
It's gone now.
There's nothing.
Congratulations on.
Han Ji-eun's first script!
You scared me.
You do it too.
No, you do it.
Do it for me.
You're the one who planned the party.
So...
Who are you to have a party coming this late?
How come you are so thick-skinned?
Aren't you sorry?
No, I'm not.
I was late on purpose.
What?
I was late on purpose
because I did all the waiting for you. It's a punishment for you.
What?
And
I told you today is D-day?
I've got something to say.
What is it?
Here.
Take this.
Did you find the ring?
Where'd you find it?
Well...
I'm giving it back to you.
Let's
get divorced.
What?
What's What?
Just get a divorce.
What's wrong with you? Is it something you ate?
I got all the money,
my wage and all
my script fee and money from Dong-Wook
but I'm still running short.
After I get the rest of money,
I'll pay you later.
So let's get a divorce.
Hey!
If you offer a divorce first
you don't get, Fullhouse.
You know that.
Then...
You are going to let
your precious Kang Hye-won wait for three years?
What?
Let's just divorce
amicably right now.
No, I'm not getting a divorce.
What?
Why not?
Why else? It's my prerogative.
What do you mean?
Hey!
What about the shock
my mom, father and grandma will get?
Will you take the responsibility?
Grandma, Father and Mother
all like Hye-won.
You have nothing to worry about.
What?
So let's
just get a divorce.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
You're rebelling against me aren't you?
Because you don't want to cook?
Then don't cook.
It's nothing like that
I just can't...
live with you any longer.
Why not?
Min-hyuk told you to get a divorce soon?
What?
You're really something.
You're asking me for a divorce because of Min-hyuk?
Forget it.
Just forget it.
Just forget it!
Do whatever you want!
You can see Min-hyuk all you want!
But
we can't get a divorce.
I'm sorry.
That's not it.
That's not it...
I like you.
What?
I really...
like you.
I like you.
You're making jokes again.
This one's going too far.
Don't laugh.
Can't you see me now?
Can't you see me hurting now?
It hurts so much...
I don't think I can carry on like this.
Let's please call it quits now.
Let's stop this, please?
You silly.
Still you shouldn't have said you liked me.
If you say that...
I really can't stay with you any longer
I know.
So let's get a divorce.
Divorce me
and go to Hye-won.
Let's get a divorce.
I'm sorry, Han Ji-eun
I don't think...
I can stay with you any longer.
