Who did you fall for?
We can't start from there, can we?
So, we both cheated on each other, is that it?!
The moment I came home and saw my children,
I thought: "What could possibly be more important than them?"
- Hey, see that one? - You've bet on me?
If that chick can resist a month, no, even a week...
I'll never mention your sister anymore.
Da Ae.
I came back because of your call.
What should I call you?
Seong Gu, Jun Soo, which is the right name?
You're saying you followed her there?
Let's stop this.
Saying all this to someone who's not even sorry, I'm just foolish.
Why, how clean are you?
What the hell did you do in Sapporo?
What? "I found someone I like?"
Did you wander around Sapporo for that?!
Why don't you answer me?
I'm asking you what you did in Sapporo!
I don't know either whatever it is I did there.
So you're saying you didn't go there alone, to Sapporo?
I just wanted to die.
If that weren't the case... If I went there without a reason,
I wouldn't have been able to bear it.
I didn't have the courage.
The courage to ask you who that woman represented to you.
She's younger, more energetic than me, prettier.
How should I put it?
"Did you just briefly cheat on me? Was it a fleeting moment?"
"Is it something you'll stop right now, what you did?"
But then...
What if you asked for a divorce?
That's right.
You know you didn't marry me out of love.
When you were working in Tokyo, I was a passing fling,
helping you live through the loneliness and boredom.
But then I looked for you in Seoul...
I didn't ask you to start whining like that.
Whining?
I'm asking who you went there with, and what you did in Sapporo!
I was telling you about that!
With Na Ri it wasn't, but giving birth to Na Rae was difficult.
The doctor kept saying that it wouldn't work,
that next day they would have to do a Caesarean.
So you just went home.
But then labor started in the middle of the night.
There were no doctors, so a young intern came to me.
I started discharging blood and acted like I was dying.
He was even more scared and confused, and didn't know how to react.
He just held my hands, and kept repeating: "Be strong, Ma'am!"
"You'll be all right. Be strong, Ma'am!"
As he stared at me bathed in sweat,
I never thought I'd like that young intern so much.
If there ever was anyone I loved but you,
it was that person only.
Tell me...
What the hell are you talking about?
So, you're saying you've met that man again. Is that it?
You never know.
What is all this?!
I'm just saying it was that kind of meeting.
I was afraid to death...
because I had the urge to climb anywhere high and jump off to my death.
But someone grabbed my hands,
telling me I couldn't do that. That's the kind of person I've met.
That's quite the elaborate explanation.
There's nothing complicated about it.
Try to live all year in the pits of hell like I did.
You'll suddenly understand all that.
Understand?!
Understand what?!
Your husband cheated on you, so you ran away.
Did you sleep with him?
Right?!
I asked you if you did!!
Yes.
Darling...
It's not that.
- Get out of the way. - Forgive me.
Episode 6
Come sit here.
Were you that lonely?
Me marrying you...
It wasn't anything I was forced to do.
I'm saying, I didn't marry you simply because you showed up on me, pregnant.
You want to divorce?
No.
If you did that with divorce in mind, let's do it.
I didn't.
Was it...
really a chance meeting? Just as you reached Sapporo.
You didn't, right?
So...
So I'd get all frenzied up, you...
Do as you please.
Can't you say you didn't, if I ask you?!
Let's just live together. Let bygones be bygones...
Those were just memories I should have kept to myself.
Like a photo I shot with someone I don't remember, navigating inside my thoughts.
I should have kept it hidden, given it a small spot in my soul.
Don't you make good omelettes, too?
Should I make one instead of fried eggs?
I think I'll have to start going out at six.
Work out at the health club, take a shower.
Get to the office before eight and have a meeting.
I won't even be able to see the kids in the morning.
I'm going.
I'm going to the health club, not jogging.
What's that supposed to mean?
"All in the dark and then suddenly light comes~"
The fluorescent lights?
Come here a sec.
Why?
You really did that?
You did it?
Yes.
Have a nice day.
Wake up! Time to prepare for school!
They must have met once and shared a cup of tea...
in one of those Hokkaido bars.
Her husband cheated on her and she left home, anger written all over.
Maybe, even a drink? You never know.
So she got drunk, and the gibberish started.
Would that be much of a surprise? She can't handle drinking, obviously.
I need to deal with this.
This is not something I can waver about.
I need to find out how far she went.
"Ha Dong Won's wife cheated on him. So they broke up."
In school or even when I got out into the world, I was never at the top.
But I was able to predict touchy situations, so I never got myself into trouble.
I never agreed with those saying life is a mysterious thing.
Just pay attention a little, you'll find out what an humdrum life can be.
What possible difference can there be between man's nature and animal instinct?
Throw some generosity and knowledge, some rationale to that animal instinct.
Doesn't that explain our nature?
Director?
The stock started falling after twenty days, so...
So... So...
What was I thinking about?
Ah... my wife cheated on me!
No, that's not it. That's not the important thing.
Anything wrong, Director?
Sell those steel stocks, and get some bonds.
But the foreign firms are selling that,
and buying semiconductor and steel stocks?!
Is it the first time we get fooled by them?!
Let's try swimming the other way, for once.
Yes.
What?
After graduating I started working at a trading corporation.
I was working with the chairman's niece.
- She was pretty. - Niece?
I dated her for a while.
Why did you lose her?
She wanted to go to an Italian restaurant, so I just agreed.
Honestly I wasn't much into western food then.
I was still drinking makgeolli*. (*raw rice wine)
Looks like it has something to do with this spaghetti?!
Since you looked at me and started laughing.
It's a little uncomfortable eating it with the fork alone, right?
You use the spoon to help yourself.
So you ate spaghetti like jjajangmyeon*? (*black bean paste noodles)
She started gently looking at me, so I asked what was wrong.
She said, "Next time we go to an Italian restaurant, bring chopsticks with you."
So you got branded!
I thought about it a few days, then handed in my resignation.
But then I met her outside...
She just said a word as I was leaving.
"Hey! Is spaghetti so great? It's just the jjajangmyeon they eat in Italy."
Was that so bad you had to write your resignation?
I went to school with her.
You applied there to become in-laws with a tycoon, I see.
Jung Ho, why did you divorce?
- Me? - I heard your wife was pretty and kind?!
Ahh... It's already time to leave?
There's no way she wanted divorce 'cause she caught you cheating on her.
She must know you were a player from college days, before she married you.
That's the kind of conversation we have with a few drinks on hand.
Isn't that right?
- You bought semiconductor stocks? - Yes.
- And steel ones as well. - Yes.
And you sold bonds.
Since you looked distracted this morning...
Should I quit?
Well done.
You feel some payback,
after deciding not to toss this fool out after six years of service, right?
How did you realize I got distracted?
Was it written all over my face?
You'll pardon me the insolence, but...
by now, I can guess what's going up there pretty well.
- Hey. - Yes.
Why aren't you getting married?
If I do, then what?!
What are you, single for life or something?
Women are all over the place!
You find it easier to succeed with them now, don't you?
Should I be really honest? Marriage scares me.
They all play around so much.
- Why? Looking for a virgin? - Ehh... Gave up on that long ago.
So, what's so scary?
It's a pain. What if they cheat on you?
Why? You won't cheat on your wife if you marry?
I probably would.
So why would you worry about your wife, then?
Why? If your wife cheats on you, that's just fine?
Are you really doing that?
What?
Let bygones be bygones, man or woman as it may be.
How can you not? Everyone does it nowadays.
Everyone does it?
Not all of them, otherwise this country would be ruined.
Why?
What's the right attitude?
Should one let bygones be bygones, or always look back at the past?
I don't really know what to say.
Everything changes so fast all at once. It's a hard place to live in.
- Isn't it? - Yes. It's a mess.
Organize all the orders and bring this back to me. I'll go out a minute.
Is anything wrong with your wife?
It's nothing.
Why? Is there such a rumor? That I have trouble at home?
No.
I said no! What rumor?
At this hour?
Jealousy? Imagining not me, but my wife embracing someone else?
No, even imagining wouldn't work.
Just because she's not the type of woman to do that?!
It's not that. Not jealousy, just rage.
Cheat on me or whatever.
But why lay the blame on me? That's what angers me.
I'll take the car, but I have no intention of moving out.
I'm just uncomfortable with it.
When you're coming, give me a call.
There are always people around, so it could get touchy.
What?!
You know that you ruined all my plans?
Why? Did you find someone you like?
What?
I almost did!
Should I just divorce?
Did you get a new car?
Been using it for a while.
Ahhh... Thought it was new.
- Myung Ja? - She went out for a moment.
Oh... it's so hot.
Still meeting him?
I saw it's the same car, so...
Yeah.
Why? Do I look like a slut to you?
- No. - So why are you pretending to know?
- Actually... - What?
I was thinking we could have left for Paris together.
With me?
Since we were going to Milano, detour and head for Venice as well.
Again, with that story?
What?
About having just a few months left to live.
I don't want to hear that.
It's not that I have two months left to live.
I'll live two months, and then get it over with.
Get over what? If it's not living.
Think about it, if you have the time.
Where is Seong Gu?
Weren't you two together in Japan?
He can't come back.
Because of Su Jeong?
I'm asking if that's Seong Gu's fault.
I'll come another time.
Seong Gu! Where are you going, leaving the store empty?!
She's here.
Did you tell her?
You just laughed it off with that insipid smile once again, uh?
If you try hard, Da Ae will fall for you.
She's been hoping for that to happen all along, Seong Gu.
We'll have to wait and see.
I said there's no time!
She's meeting someone already, anyway.
That was all because of you!
You're hesitating so she just went to him.
She's done with him. That's why she wanted to sell the store.
You didn't know?
I know.
So I said "push" hard, "push"!
I'll do that.
If something happens to her, that's your responsibility!
What are you telling him?!
It's because Seong Gu seemed to misunderstand.
Don't leave the store empty. I don't want you meeting him like that.
If I were you, I'd be all over Seong Gu already.
- He's good looking, and rich. - Then you hit on him.
I'll have to get this fixed first, if I want to.
Like you don't know...
Sorry, you said you'd be a little late, so.
You're in good shape, I see.
- Thank you for all the hard work. - But I still haven't finished...
No need to follow that woman around anymore.
Really?
Here, take this.
No, I'll be fine with what you gave me last time. I didn't even finish.
Our Division Director wants you to have it, so please take this.
Ahh... I shouldn't take it.
Still honest to a fault, I see.
If you're so sorry about taking the money, do me another favor later, then.
You can tell me now. If it's anything related to this...
I'll call you when I need your help.
Ahh... Ohh... wait!
Take these with you. It's all the info I gathered so far.
You can throw them away.
Please, come in.
The kids?
I told the housemaid to stay a little longer.
They serve drinks and dinner here. Should we start with dinner?
- How about you? - I'm fine.
I'm not hungry either.
- Come a little later. - Yes, Sir.
Let's take care of this.
You know my personality, right?
I can't bear leaving loose ends.
Go on, then.
From now on, live however you want to.
I won't stick my nose into your business.
Why aren't you speaking?
You said we're even.
I didn't mean that.
I said, from now on, do whatever you please.
So we're separating?
Why? You want to?
- No. - So!
Waiter!
Should we have a glass of wine?
- Two glasses of the house wine. - Yes, Sir.
Is it that difficult to bear?
You're right. Nothing happened.
I wanted to seek revenge.
Nothing really happened?
Yes. Nothing happened.
That's nice to hear.
You said... when you gave birth,
you felt something akin to love for that young intern.
Now that I think about it, that's perfectly understandable.
Let's say, a really pretty woman crossed the street.
I could fantasize about dating her.
I've had that kind of situation before myself.
Isn't that understandable?
Of course you can't fall for every woman who's crossing the street.
Women, too, will feel the same.
Hey!! Look at that man!
You won't necessarily feel the urge to cheat on your man.
But isn't that right?
Well. Don't know about other people, but I never felt that.
Didn't you talk about that young intern holding your hands...
as you were giving birth?!
Fine. Whatever it was.
Forget the wine, and bring us menus.
Yes, I'll get them, Sir.
Live however you please.
Just don't ever interfere with my life.
I won't divorce you no matter what.
I will never break this family off, even if I meet someone better than you.
Even if I married her, what would she possibly have that you don't?
It'll just be trouble.
If there's anyone you like, go and meet him.
Don't just complain and make me uncomfortable.
Is that your solution?
To keep meeting that woman?
Is that it?
Think whatever you want.
I was just saying, "this role" in my life that you were a protagonist of...
I threw it away already.
Here's your menu, Sir.
What should we eat?
Choose something.
Steak.
Ribs or sirloin?
T-bone.
And you said you weren't hungry. It was the other way around, I see.
I need to be strong.
So, you'll keep doing this.
This one, too.
You brought your car?
- Yes. - Why?
You could have had other plans after dinner.
Yes. Let's take it easy.
I don't want to divorce, either.
Fine, then. That's even better.
You said you took one of the roles I played, and threw it out of your life.
That must have meant my role as a woman.
Despite being your wife and the mother of your kids,
the role I played as your sexual partner, that is.
I took it that way. Is it what you meant?
More or less.
I'll give my all to be the best mother I can be.
But you also need to do the same as Ha Dong Won's wife.
I'll do the same for you, obviously.
Fine.
My car got here first.
Oh... here you go.
Go first. I'll follow behind you.
What?
Can't you stay out tonight?
You want me to come in, or sleep out?
Don't come in.
Answer, or turn it off! It's so damn noisy.
You're not answering?!
Should I do it?
Damn you... I always need to take care of the dirty work for you.
Hello?
He won't call anymore tonight.
Hey.
I don't really understand.
Weren't you determined to break it off with him,
and have a fresh new start with Seong Gu?
Is Seong Gu a player, just like Jun Soo?
They say Jun Soo is Seong Gu. And that Seong Gu is Jun Soo.
What?
What's that supposed to mean?
They made a bet.
How long it would take them to get me into a motel.
Those crazy fools!! Of all places, a filthy motel?
Since you're there, make it a hotel.
He said they really did that?
Then Jun Soo is filthy rich, and Seong Gu is the pauper.
Then again, maybe not.
Since Seong Gu is Jun Soo, is Jun Soo the pauper?
Ahh... what the hell. So confusing.
How can you joke about that?!
Calm down!
Da Ae. Calm down!
Should we make some money?
Uh?
We make money, and spend it all having fun!
We go to Paris, New York, and spend it all traveling around.
We eat lots of tasty things, and buy shoes worth a grand every day!
If we do that, will we get a little happier?
Oh oh! Fine!
Things will get a little better, right?
Why don't you answer the phone?
Ahh... I was busy working so I couldn't hear the phone ring.
Oh... there are plenty of things to do!
Clean everything well. Don't just worry about where you can see dirt alone.
Oh, and Ajumma...
I'll eat out with the kids when I'm back, so don't prepare dinner.
Understood?
With that temper, it's no wonder her husband cheated on her!
- She said she's coming home? - Don't worry.
That brat nowadays spends all day out, and always comes home late.
Oh... want a beer?
The husband here loves beer, so the fridge is full of it.
Any liquor?
Liquor?
They'll find out if you drink that.
Ehh... Just fill the rest with black tea and water.
Ahhh... That will do it!
I'll go find your liquor.
Let's see.
- Ahh... Not there. - Oh, it's not here?
Ohh... Bingo!
Wow! So many!
Shut up!!
This sculpture is "La Premiere Victoire d'Hannibal" (Hannibal's First Victory).
Influenced by Flaubert, this oeuvre granted its author, Bourdelle,
who at the time was a mere 24 year old,
a scholarship at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris,
And exposure in the French art salons...
as one of its leading artists right from the year 1885.
I struggled, and shed tears, wondering if it was love
But then I suddenly lost strength, in front of that cold-heartedness that stopped me
My love, let's again look at the stars
My love
Blinding us with their beauty, the memories of that day
Petals with grimy glazes withering, as if coming by dribs and drabs
Like a flower blooming inside me, the love I felt for you
Was it something not me nor you, nor anyone else could protect or beat?
How much is this? Give me one of these.
All those memories of our love and happiness
Hurt as if my whole heart was pierced by thorns
Like a flower blooming inside me, the love I felt for you
Was it something not me nor you, nor anyone else could protect or beat?
The love that bloomed for you,
Is suddenly, slowly, weakening inside me
Dying out
- Mommy, give me some more. - Oh! Me too, me too.
- You eat too, Mommy! - Oh, okay. I'll eat.
- Look! Look at the Han River! - Wow! It's really huge...
It's nice to drive around with Mommy, uh?
Yeah! I wish we have dinner out and take a nice drive like this every night.
Me, too! Mommy, sing us a song.
- A song? - Oh... Mommy sings well.
But why don't you sing these days?
Applause!
What should I sing you?
- Island Clouds. - That one? Eww...
When mommy went to that island... (EommaGa SeomGeuneulE)
When mommy goes to that island... (EommaGa SeomGeuneulE)
to get raw oysters... (Gul Ddareo Gamyeon)
- Are you OK? - Ohhh~ Look, look at that!
He's so cool!
How does he do that?!
Ohhh... he fell!
What now?!
You stay here, don't come out, OK?
Did you hurt yourself?
Open your eyes. Can you hear me?
Did you?
Try to pretend you didn't know me.
- Bok Sun! - Bok Sun!
Bok Sun!
I'm here!
- Bok Sun! - Bok Sun!
Bok Sun!
Come out, quick!
You didn't come here to die, did you?
Because you wanted to live...
Because of that you came all the way here to die.
Let go! Let...
See the world again through me.
Then you'll find that desire to live once again.
Mommy! I can't find Bok Sun!
Bok Sun, are you here?
Bok Sun!
Who left you here all alone?! Uh? Oh... little Bok Sun!
Were you scared?
- The kids? - They're sleeping.
Already?
I took them out for dinner to eat spaghetti.
They liked them so much, they were full to the brim and just fell asleep.
They're sleeping on the floor?
They kept fighting over who would keep Bok Sun, so...
You're sleeping here?
The kids wanted me to sleep with them.
What?
You're pretty.
Look, you get comfortable, and your face starts radiating again.
Ahh! That's hot!
Where are we going?
Paradise!
Or maybe it could become hell?
What are you doing? Come out of the car.
We're close to paradise!
- Give me a big one! - Yes!
She's dead?
The sister you loved so much when you were six?!
So the world turned into hell for you, uh?!
Let go!
Follow me!
If I were you, I'd be so happy I'd start dancing all over the place.
Being able to meet a dead person!
- Look! Look!! - Let me go!!
That's your sister!
- Look, uh? - Let go! Let me go!!
Jun Soo!
Mom...
It wasn't that kind of relationship.
Enough to divorce you because of it.
That's nice to hear.
When I met your wife at the store, you know how I felt?!
Don't tell me that you're now feeling guilty?
Anyway, just find out whether he's alive or dead, that'll be enough.
Come May, they'll find Kang Seong Gu's body.
Why did Seong Gu die? Did you kill him?
So instead of someone who gives you money but not love,
you prefer someone without money, but who loves you?
Did you follow me all day?
You never know, you could need me again.
