The Greatest Marriage
Episode 9
What are you doing? Why are you here?
I was invited.
Park Tae Yun and Hyun Myung Yi are standing here right now
to become the most beautiful husband and wife today.
Sir, just a moment please.
I would like to get married without an officiant.
Sir, please forgive my friend. He's always been quite unique.
If you don't mind, we would like to proceed the wedding without you.
Goodness.
He is so difficult.
All right then, let's move on.
We will read the marriage vows that we personally prepared.
Please read them.
'I will love you until my hair turns old and grey.'
I will never say blatant lies like that until the day I die.
I will never demand that you only sleep with me because you are my wife.
Wow, he's coming out really strong.
I will take care of my own meals and you take care of your own.
We will each make a living on our own without relying on each other.
Honey, let's go inside. Even so, he's still our son.
Just because I'm your husband...
I will not be obligated to support my wife and children for the rest of my life!
Just because I'm your wife...
I will not sacrifice myself for my husband and children.
As everyone as our witness, we promise to uphold these vows as man and wife.
Thank you!
Next...
Anchor Cha Ki Young will give a congratulatory speech.
What?
Hey, what the heck is going on?
Anchor Cha Ki Young worked at the same news station as my wife.
She is also a colleague... who wrote a book with me.
Despite the difficult favor, she came to our wedding considering her condition.
Anchor Jo Eun Cha, since Anchor Cha is heavy with child...
Please help her.
Everyone, please give Anchor Cha Ki Young a warm round of applause.
- What is going on? - I don't know. Ki Young! Ki Young!
She's crazy.
Please go up to the podium.
Cha Ki Young promises to never get married and live as Park Tae Yun's mistress.
I'm very pleased with the speech you prepared.
Park Tae Yun will only be known as the biological father and
I, Cha Ki Young, will decide who will be the actual father.
Except this.
Please read it.
Sign it.
- After the wedding. - No, right now.
- Give your speech. - Your signature first.
First, I would like to congratulate you two on your marriage.
I've known and watched these two lovebirds since the very beginning.
Their kind of love is very rare in this day and age.
While I watched your love grow, I've come to realize something.
Chairman Park is here.
Chairman Park!
Hey!
Who do you think you are to destroy their wedding like this?
Sun Nyeo, what's wrong with you? She gave a congratulatory speech!
Stay out of it.
How could you come here? Get lost this instant!
- I swear! - Ki Young, leave quickly! Go!
Sun Nyeo! Sun Nyeo!
This marriage is null!
Leave!
I know that you don't approve of me.
But I'm so happy you two came. I wasn't expecting it.
Honey, let's talk later after the wedding is over.
Wedding? What wedding? Says who?
You call this a wedding? It's a mockery!
Are you the groom, Park Tae Yun?
My name is Jo Peng Dal.
Your bride's name is Hyun Myung Yi, right?
She called me to take you guys around the city of Seoul in this buggy.
- Let's go. - What about the bride?
- Just go! - Yes, Sir.
Father, Mother, please forgive us just this once!
Get up.
He told you to get up.
Follow me.
- Where is Tae Yun? - I don't know!
Are you planning to pick up your bride separately?
Lately, everyone goes to Bali, Hawaii, or somewhere overseas for their honeymoon.
I can't believe you two are keeping it simple by going to Namsan!
That's a really wise decision!
Stop. Stop.
Get in.
I'll sign the contract, so get in.
- This person isn't the bride. - Let's go.
Okay.
Where is Tae Yun right now?
He's probably packing right now.
What do you mean?
We agreed to go to your house after the honeymoon.
Where are you two going?
Nowhere extravagant, just to Namsan and Bukchon.
We promised each other that we would save as much as possible to buy a house later.
A wedding is a huge ordeal and event.
This is what happens when you don't listen to your parents.
You can't even go on a proper honeymoon.
Did you keep your promise?
- Yes. - Can I see it now?
Yes. It's at home.
Whose house?
- Reporter Park Tae Yun's house. - Why is it there?
Well...
Later.
- Mister, please drop me off here. - Didn't you agree to be my mistress?
If it's not today, I'll never sign it.
I don't believe this. I don't know his pass code, but you do.
You've been living with him already?
Where is Tae Yun?
We must've missed each other. It looks like he left first.
Mother, Father, please sit down.
It is still early to use that endearment.
Also it's not 'Mother, Father,' but 'Father, Mother.'
Yes, Ma'am. Please forgive me.
Bring it to me.
Excuse me?
Yes, Ma'am.
[Paternity Test]
- What is it? - A paternity test.
It's a document confirming the paternity test.
When can we know if it's a son or a daughter?
The doctor won't tell us until the baby is born.
Would you like a cup of tea?
- Would you like a cup of tea? - Let's go.
Forget the tea. We're going to get going now.
What's the baby's nickname?
- 815. - That's a cool name.
You conceived on the day we ate blueberry sujebi (noodle soup).
- It was August 15th that day. - You're right.
I hope you have a pretty daughter like those pretty blueberries.
Can I touch it?
Sure.
815.
I'm sorry.
Starting today, I'm giving you up.
Our relationship ends here today.
I'm sorry... for leaving you without seeing your face.
There.
Please drop me off here.
As always, weddings are so exhausting.
- I still can't get a hold of Tae Yun. - Just leave him alone.
That punk didn't show up for the engagement party when he was engaged to Lee Yoon Joo.
He's doing the same thing on his wedding day. He's so despicable.
I understand him. He doesn't love her.
I understand him even less, then.
Why is he getting married if he doesn't love her?
Because he wants to run away from our family.
I'm still living in prison because I can't get married.
[Pedro]
Would you like something to eat?
I have some really good wine that everyone will enjoy. It should lift your spirits up.
I have to go.
Where do you have to go this late at night?
Obviously, it's not a man.
- I swear! It is a man! - Come on! Ex-boyfriend then!
You might really get hit if you keep that up.
Could you make it any more obvious that you're an old maid? She's always...
Would you like to have a glass of wine with me?
Sure, just one glass.
Mom, Dad, the wedding went well today.
My in-laws are extremely rich.
I'll pay off all your debts and you can come back to Korea again.
Mom, Dad...
I promise to make you proud.
Have a little more patience, okay?
Mom, Dad... I miss you.
I'll call again.
The number you have dialed is not in use. Please make a note of it.
Why did you call me?
I told you I resigned from being your emergency husband.
Come in.
Should I pay now or later?
Excuse me, but my body is not for sale.
You didn't sleep with that woman I saw you with?
Did you forget? My occupation is an emergency husband.
Besides you, I have several other wives to take care of.
You're saying you've been cheating on me with several other women all this time?
If you need a real husband, then get married for real.
The time we've spent together was all fake?
Did you treat them the same way, 'Yes, Wife? Yes, Wife?'
- Yes. - Why you... you dirty bastard!
Get out! Get out!
Men are all the same! My father, Jo Eun Cha and you!
The one thing an emergency husband can't do is love.
That's exactly the reason I quit. You...
need the love of a man more than you need a husband.
Where in this world is there a man that will love me? There is none!
I'm a woman who buys love! All I have is money and my background!
I'm a virile man in my twenties. Think about your age.
Do you honestly think I would see you as a woman?
- Wake up. - Hey!
Get out, you bastard!
Get out! Get out! Get out, you bastard!
Get out! You rotten jerk!
I hear all men want to run away once they get married.
I wonder if Tae Yun feels the same way.
You think it's only men? Women feel the same way.
I don't know since I've never been married before.
Are you a bachelor?
Yes.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
I've always looked a little old for my age.
No, no! You're so great with Ara. I naturally assumed you were married.
Are you happy with your marriage?
You're very direct.
Pardon?
You're asking an impolite question with that kind look on your face.
It's because you don't look happy.
- Do you know how to read a person's face? - No.
I'm a fan of yours.
Ever since you debuted with your first program.
I was taken by your voice.
Why are you telling me that now?
We just came back from a wedding. I tend to get nostalgic after a wedding.
That's why you've been so good to Ara.
Yes. I wanted to impress you.
Ara also looks like you.
Would you like to drink some more at my place?
You're very direct.
I'm divorced now.
Are you ordering me around because you married into a rich family?
Did you bring all my stuff from the wedding hall?
The rest of your belongings from my place will be delivered to you.
Come in.
- Where is Park Tae Yun? - I don't know.
You think you can do it?
From the looks of it, I'm a little worried about your future.
- It's what I expected. - Your in-laws are no joke either.
Your father-in-law is no joke, but your mother-in-law is really scary.
Outwardly, she looks like an ideal wife and mother who won every award out there.
She acts like Shin Saimdang, but she's actually Princess Pyung Kang.
She's the daughter of a wealthy family who married the son of a poor farmer.
She's the one who made Park Tae Yun's father to the man he is today.
I'm going to do the same thing with Park Tae Yun
and turn him into a successful man like his father.
Why? You don't even love him.
I'm going to have a son no matter what
and all of that family's fame and fortune will be handed down to my descendants.
- That's my dream. - You're scary.
Yoo Ri, let's go out and have fun. It's on me.
It's your wedding night though.
It's my first night as Cinderella, we need to party. Let's go out.
- Come in. - Thank you.
Your house is really...
- This wine is pretty good. - Right?
It's the Director's birthday today. The three of us had a birthday party.
- Please sit down. - No, I'm fine.
Please come and help me.
Ah, sure.
Open the door for me.
Come in.
I'm sorry you had to see something that you shouldn't.
I'll get going now.
I'm sorry, but...
would you mind staying with me for a little bit?
Well...
I'll be honest with you.
I divorced my husband, but considering the circumstances, we're still living together.
That woman... is my husband's lover.
It's difficult for me to stay here alone... when those two are acting that way.
Is that why you invited me over?
No...
I didn't know.
I'm sorry for asking this ridiculous favor from you.
You can go now.
I'll stay with you.
Mr. Pedro, you are under arrest for a hit and run.
[Mom]
815, it hurts a lot, doesn't it?
Now that I'm becoming a mother, why do I miss my mom so much?
I don't miss your dad at all, but I really miss my mom.
I... want to go back into my mom's stomach again.
- Yes, Eun Cha? - Are you alive?
- Yes. - Are you sick?
I think I have a cold.
That's no good. What about the news tomorrow?
Go to the emergency room right now.
Do what you can to get better so you can work tomorrow.
It's not good for an anchor to catch a cold.
Pregnant women can't take cold medicine.
Find whatever help you can to get better and prepare to report the news tomorrow!
Even if you die, do it after the news tomorrow! Understood?
Yes.
Hey, what is a pregnant woman supposed to eat if she gets a cold?
My wife had a difficult time as well
but she got better with steamed pears soaked in honey.
Then go and buy some pears and honey this instant and take it to Cha Ki Young.
Me?
Should I go then? To a single woman's home?
That's harsh. You know very well that Cha Ki Young and I are not on good terms.
Eun Cha, I'll go and buy it.
- Go quickly! - Yes, Sir.
[Husband]
- Tae Yun, where are you? - Is this Park Tae Yun's girlfriend?
I'm his wife.
He's passed out drunk so please come quickly and take him.
Where is he?
Cha Ki Young! Cha Ki Young! Cha Ki Young, where are you?
Tae Yun!
This is the first time I've ever seen a loser like him. Are you Cha Ki Young?
No, I'm not.
Cha Ki Young is Channel Korea's anchorwoman.
I'm sure it's not that Cha Ki Young.
He booked us but kept asking for Cha Ki Young
so I asked for her number and he gave me yours.
Tae Yun, get up.
Cha Ki Young is my mistress.
You guys are... who are you?
Tae Yun, let's go home. Get up.
Right, right.
This is my wife.
This is my cousin.
I keep forgetting that I got married today.
Tae Yun, get up. Quickly, get up. Get up.
Cheers.
Hey! You want to join us?
You're drunk.
You drink to get drunk, not to get sober.
Joon Young, let's listen to music.
- How about this one? - That one looks good.
- So nice. - Hey.
You call that music? It totally sucks!
- Cover your ears. - Listen to it with the earphones!
I have earphones.
Really? Wow.
It's much nicer this way.
Honey, let's just go inside and call it a night.
You feel like sleeping right now? It's my birthday!
[Cha Ki Young]
Hold on.
Hey, Ki Young.
A cold?
The shock must've gotten to you too.
Hold on, Il Jong... no, I'll hand you over to Dr. Choi Il Jong.
- Just a moment. - Sure.
Oh my gosh.
Ki Young is sick.
Hey, Ki Young. It's me.
There isn't any cold medicine for pregnant women. It's dangerous if you do.
That's why pregnant women have to be careful with the flu and cold.
Drench some pears into honey and steam it for about an hour before you eat it.
You need to rest for two days.
Call me if anything happens or if your temperature increases.
Okay. All right, bye.
- Oh my gosh! Seriously! - Seriously!
Honey, are you okay?
What is wrong with her? Are you okay?
- Do you have pears? - Look over there.
Eun Cha, I bought the pears and honey, but I don't know where Anchor Cha lives.
- Do you know? - I don't know.
You two work with her! Does it make sense that you don't know where she lives?
Wait right here!
- Do you guys sell pears here? - We don't have any.
President Seo, Chairman Park is on the other line.
Send him through.
Chairman, how can I help you?
Starting now, I'm going to take out all my advertisements!
As long as Cha Ki Young relays the news, you won't get a single ad from me!
Hang up!
Goodness.
We promised not to make meals for each other. You're breaking it after a day?
It's just porridge.
The one thing I hate the most is porridge.
- Yes, Mother? - Is Tae Yun awake?
- Not yet. - Don't wake him and just let him sleep.
Tae Yun tends to sleep in. Don't nag him to get up or eat breakfast.
Yes, Ma'am.
- You have nothing going on today, right? - Yes.
Then wear your hanbok and come over.
Yes, Ma'am.
Tae Yun, your mother wants me to come over right now.
You going to my parent's house is your problem.
Take care of it on your own. There's no need to tell me.
We agreed not to interfere in each other's personal life, remember?
It's 15 million won per ad every 15 seconds.
Chairman Park owns thirty percent of those ads.
If he backs out, we're losing 100 billion won right there.
Also, you think the other advertisers won't follow suit if he does that?
This is a serious problem.
What should we do?
We have no choice but to get rid of Cha Ki Young.
How?
The average maternity leave is about 90 days.
What if we added on childcare leave and have her rest for two years?
Can we let her do that with the maternity leave and childcare leave?
Yes. That's how my wife resigned when she got pregnant.
There are a lot of companies that pretend to give an extensive maternity leave
and then they ask them to resign afterward.
Avoid criticism from society by acting like we're supporting her
and then quietly fire her?
Yes.
That sounds like a good idea.
Is Kim Joong Hoon still alive?
- Hey, Eun Cha. - Where's Anchor Cha?
She hasn't come to work yet.
- Call her. - Yes, Sir.
Her cell phone is turned off.
Sit down.
I need some more documents from you.
I need records and report cards of your education from elementary to college.
Also your family registry, social security, and so on.
From what I heard... you resigned from working at the news station?
- Yes. - I want proof of that, too.
- Yes, Ma'am. - Think of this as your new job
since you don't have an occupation now. Come to work every day.
Why? You don't want to?
Not at all.
Spend your weekends here with Tae Yun, and during the week it's just you.
Yes, Ma'am.
I'm being quite considerate and patient towards you
but you don't seem to be very happy at all.
No, I'm very happy.
We hold eleven memorial services a year in our household.
Today is our great-grandfather's memorial day.
If you want to be acknowledged as my daughter-in-law
you must do particularly well when it comes to the memorial service.
Yes, Ma'am.
I'm saying that this is your first task to accomplish today.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
- Go out and prepare the memorial service. - Yes, Ma'am.
Go to the farmer's market and get these ingredients.
These are the ingredients needed to prepare the memorial banquet.
You must buy it from the farmer's market and not the grocery store, okay?
Cha Ki Young!
- Cha Ki Young! Hurry up, over here! - I'll have to take this apart.
- Do it then! - Okay.
Cha Ki Young!
Seriously!
Oh my god!
Cha Ki Young! Cha Ki Young! Cha Ki Young, wake up!
Seriously, I'm going nuts!
- Hello. - Welcome.
What kind of fish do I need for a memorial banquet?
- You'll need a croaker fish. - Ah, a croaker.
- Is this served in the memorial banquet? - Yes.
It's supposed to be dried? Are these dates acceptable?
These are more appropriate.
- Her mucus plug came out. - Excuse me?
She's ready to deliver.
Go up to the delivery unit and admit her right now.
I'm not due for another two weeks.
Your contractions will start today. You have to admit yourself this instant.
What about the news?
I need to report it, of course.
Will you be all right?
Yes.
What? What's wrong? Did your contractions start?
- I think so. - Oh no, what do we do?
I can walk by myself.
Seriously!
The bell flower root is too tough.
The scent of the ferns aren't fresh. You bought old ones.
I told you to buy a dried croaker, not a fresh one.
- This needs to go on the banquet table. - Excuse me...
I told her to be tough on you.
She's been working in our household for over ten years.
Today will be the first and last time with these lessons. Go back again.
Yes, Ma'am.
They give birth after eight months.
If a human being had a gestational period of 20 months, the baby would be this big...
Hey, Eun Cha.
Anchor Cha, are you okay?
The baby's going to come out today, so let's get this meeting over with.
It's going to come out today?
It seems the baby takes after me. My baby is impatient.
Let's start the meeting.
Reporter Kim Hyung Joon, what story did you cover for today?
It's about the wage difference between men and women. The OECD...
Anchor Cha, the Director wants to see you right now.
Anchor Cha, you must be struggling right now. Have a seat.
I'm sorry, but it's more difficult sitting down.
Is that so? You can just stand then.
Did you request for maternity leave yet?
Yes.
- It's 90 days, right? - I made a request for only 45 days.
- Why? - We just got the ratings back up.
I'm afraid that they might go back down again.
That's true. You're the one who saved our news station.
So with that in mind, I want to reward you with childcare leave of two years.
Thank you, but I respectfully decline the offer.
I'll only take the requested days off.
Why?
The pay is only 500 thousand won a month for childcare leave.
My rent alone is over one million won.
Childcare leave is not practical for me when I'm also raising a child on top of it.
Is that so?
What are you doing? Your husband is here.
Excuse me?
You always greet your husband with a smile on your face
and say 'welcome home' with affection.
Prepare a wet towel to wash his hands and a bowl of water to wash his feet.
And then hurry to set the table for his meal. Isn't that the basics?
- Yes, Ma'am. - Go out and greet him.
Welcome home.
Come in here.
Yes, Ma'am.
Still, I'm glad that we can we meet at these memorial gatherings.
Introduce yourself.
- This our uncle. - Hello.
- This is our aunt. - Hello.
- Another uncle. - Hello.
- Another aunt. - Hello.
- Our great uncle. - Hello.
- Our great aunt. - Hello.
- Our second cousin. - Hello.
- His wife. - Hello.
- Our second cousin's son. - Hello.
- You need to bow formally. - Yes, Ma'am.
This is Tae Yun's fiancée.
There are rumors that they're already married.
Oh, that's complete nonsense. It was just a simple engagement party.
- You may leave now. - Yes, Ma'am.
You can come to work the next day after you have the baby, right?
What are you talking about? I've already requested my maternity leave.
You can't do that. We just barely made it to the safety zone.
Other women are out and about right after they have a baby.
- Who? - My mom.
Women used to carry their babies on their backs to work as soon as they gave birth.
Women these days are such crybabies.
I'm telling you, the women of our country need to serve in the army.
The problem is all in the mentality.
It's just a baby. Why is maternity leave necessary?
Anyway, these feminist groups are ruining the women of our country.
What is this?
My water broke.
What? So the baby is coming out now?
Stand by everyone! Ten seconds before we go live!
She's about to have her baby here! Someone do something!
It's okay. I can endure it.
Cue!
Hello, this is Channel Korea with your nine o'clock news. My name is Cha Ki Young...
and Jo Eun Cha.
According to the OECD statistics, our country has the most severe
gap of social and economic development between men and women.
Reporter Kim Hyung Joon has the full story.
For the past thirteen years OECD...
Is it too difficult? You can't bear it anymore?
Hold my hand.
You want me to be a father figure, right? Doesn't that make me your husband then?
- Here, hold your husband's hand. - Forget it!
Hey, boil the water and sterilize the scissors! What else do we need?
Anchor Cha, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Standby! Three seconds before we go live!
Cue!
In the case in which large amounts of personal information were leaked
everyone will be allowed to change their social security number.
Let's drink.
- Good job today. - Thank you.
This was ...
Channel Korea with the nine o'clock news. My name is Cha Ki Young...
- and Jo Eun Cha. - Thank you for watching.
Is the baby coming out?
815, the grass is okay, but not here.
The grass is soft, but the floor is hard and cold!
Hang tight a little longer, okay?
We've headed over to commercial!
Let's go, let's go! Let's go!
It's fine, I can go by myself.
The Director wants everyone to gather at the conference room for an urgent meeting.
- Right now? - Yes.
Who can take Cha Ki Young to the hospital?
The Director wants everyone to be at the meeting.
He wants to decide who will replace Anchor Cha Ki Young once she's on maternity leave.
I told you to cancel the maternity leave!
September 14th, the year of the horse.
Please write the name of your guardian and social security number here.
I don't have a guardian.
You have to write the father's name and social security number in order to deliver.
I don't have one.
You can't go into the delivery room then.
That's absurd! You're saying I can't have my baby without the father?
- Those are the rules. - Can I write down a woman's name?
- No, it has to be a man's name. - I'm about to have my baby right now!
- I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do. - Look here!
She's lovely.
Your daughter-in-law is so gentle. She's not like the kids these days.
- Your son did well. - Have a safe trip home.
Goodbye, Sir.
Good job today.
Thank you, Mother.
You can call me 'Mother' after you have a son.
Will you even be able to raise a child properly in that small studio?
Move in.
Have you lost your damn minds? Huh?
I'm going to sue all of you! This is totally newsworthy!
How could you not let a woman have her baby without a man's signature?
What kind of crazy rule is this?
She needs to go to the delivery room so sign this for now! Quickly, quickly!
I'm going to put all of you into jail if something bad happens to the baby!
- Hurry and go in! Quickly! - Let's go!
Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?
- Hyung Myung Yi! - Okay, you have to push now.
One, two...
three, four, five...
Please save me!
It hurts too much!
Please call my mom for me!
Mom!
It hurts really bad!
Call my mom!
Miss, where are you hurting?
She's been having abdominal pains and she's currently pregnant.
Check her hemoglobin.
Hey, Hyun Myung Yi! Hyun Myung Yi, wake up!
Push one more time for me. One... two... three... four!
I can't do it anymore!
The baby is struggling more than you. Your baby is suffering more than you.
Your baby is doing everything in its power to come into this world.
You have to be strong.
Don't close your eyes. Open your eyes.
Push one more time. One... two...
What happened? Everything's fine, right?
- It's a miscarriage. - What?
Excuse me?
No! Oh no!
No!
Seven! It's coming out! A little more! The baby's coming! A little more!
Push! Push! Push!
Push, push.
It's a son.
Thank you!
Will you come in and cut the umbilical cord?
Me? I'm not the father.
It's fine. There's no one else to cut it.
Come in and change your clothes.
Go ahead and cut it.
- I've never done this before. - That's okay.
- How do I cut it? - Just cut it right in the middle.
Hi, 815!
Would you like to hold your baby?
Yes.
Your baby recognizes you. You see how he's nuzzling you?
He knows it's you and he's asking for milk.
Hey, baby.
815.
Thank you.
My sweet baby.

Anchor Cha, congratulations!
I realized today how great women are.
No, I'm the one who ordered him to do it.
Release him and arrest me instead.
You two are perfect for each other!
- Do you see me as a woman? - Are you a man then?
Why did we choose to be lonely for the rest of our lives?
Aren't you going to see Cha Ki Young?
- I'm not curious. - I'm curious.
Tell me that you want to break up with me.
- Is there something wrong with my baby? - No, it's not that.
Did you eat seaweed soup at all? Look at your face.
Does my baby have a contagious disease? Why is everyone treating my baby this way?
What gives you the right to raise your voice?
Did I kill a person? Did I hurt someone?
All I did was have a baby!
