You're telling me you went there?
What if I ask you to divorce her?
I met that kind of man.
The urge to climb up somewhere high and kill myself scared me to death,
but someone grabbed my hands.
And he told me not to do that. That's the man I met.
Right?!
You ignored me on purpose, right?
Don't mess with my last shred of dignity!
Seong Gu!
If you let my hand go, you'll become me.
You'll really become Kang Seong Gu.
Seong Gu!
Episode 7
Just leave it there! I'll take care of it!
- Ajumma. - Yes?
What are these soju bottles?
Ahh... I don't know!
And the liquor?
Ajumma, do you drink here?!
No!
Don't do that again.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I mean, would I dare drink in someone's house, while I'm working?
Why did you lock the puppy inside the bathroom?
The puppy?!
Oh, well. It must have gotten in there by itself.
Why? Four-legged beasts like that wouldn't be able to?
Ajumma!
Eeeh! I'm sorry, Ma'am.
It kept barking all day while I was working.
I'll do well from now on.
Close an eye just this once, please.
I'll let it slide this time, just because the kids like you.
- But... - Ohhh! Don't worry, Ma'am!
To tell you the truth,
I was really upset yesterday.
My husband keeps betraying my trust.
I mean, he can't even put food on the table, how can he cheat on me?!
If he made good money like your husband here, then I'd understand.
I'd just...
All those fools who cheat on their wives and don't even earn a penny.
I'd just..
Are you going out, Ma'am?
Could it be a coincidence?
It just could be, just like when we met in Sapporo.
No, it can't be. He even told me in Otaru.
That he first saw me in Seoul.
That he saw me crying, when I parted ways with my husband.
Mommy!
Gimme some ketchup.
This is good! Try some.
Should we bring some home for Bok Sun?
No way. This is not good for puppies.
Oh, that's right.
We'll get Bok Sun some tasty snack later.
Right?
Mommy! The phone!
Hello?
Unknown Number
Give me some ketchup.
Mommy. Let's drive once again around the block.
- We've done it twice already?! - Mommy!!
It's the last time, uh?
Do you like driving around with Mommy that much?
We just go to our Hagwon (cram school).
Should we just drop out of all the Hagwon?
Wow! Great.
Do you really mean that?
- I'll talk with Daddy about it. - That's great!
- Look. It's that circus ajeosshi! - Where?!
Eeeh. That's not him.
If we don't go to the Hagwon, we'll have plenty more time with Bok Sun.
I just want to do that.
Don't lose me.
It's me. Was your mobile turned off?
I sent the kids to bed.
Don't stay up late waiting for me. I won't be back tonight.
This is against the rules.
Didn't I tell you to buy some beer?
Didn't know rules were made to be broken?
I can't catch sleep with people next to me.
So, instead of sleeping, let's just talk.
I'll go back to the office at dawn.
Why do you always make me feel strange?
Like what?
When I met your wife at the pet store, can you even imagine how I felt?
You said you just ignored her.
Don't tell me you're even feeling guilty now?
I didn't ignore her. I was so surprised, I kept staring at her.
From now on, don't forget. Put some beer in the fridge.
What are you doing?
Going out to buy beer?
Da Ae!
I told you, right? I can't sleep if someone is next to me!
I've always been like that. And that's the reason I never thought of marriage.
You really...
Da Ae!
I told you. I don't think I could sleep even next to my husband. I couldn't marry!
- I said I don't have one. - Yeah, sure.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
You just got here?
You slept here?
- Tomorrow is triple witching day*. - *3rd Friday of the month that ends each quarter...
when stock options expire and the stock market is extra volatile
We should be able to clear that pretty safely, it seems.
We'll have to re-arrange our stock portfolio.
We just came back in. Anything we can buy you?
Get me a bagel and some coffee.
Anything else?
- Make it black coffee. - Yes.
Ha Dong Won speaking.
Oh, Na Ri. What?
Mommy, what?!
You're here!
The kids?
I sent them to school.
Is she really ill?
It must be fatigue.
Aahhh. With such a weak body!
You have the kids call me.
Get an ad in the newspapers, will you?!
If you feel the need to act so nasty,
let's just separate and get it over with!
H... Hye Jin!
Hye Jin!
A... Ajumma!
Ajumma!!
Here.
Thanks.
Couldn't you come sleep with me? You have a car.
Didn't I tell you I couldn't even start the car?!
Then just crash on the sofa.
Why are you getting all pissed off?
You're frustrating, that's why.
Give me some Kleenex.
Isn't that right? If you hate it so much, just break up.
Think you'll starve to death without his help?
I told you, it's easier said than done.
It is. With Seong Gu...
Wait. You said Jun Soo, right?
Anyway, whomever.
If you like each other, you can start anew.
You like each other, what's there to hesitate?
If I like him, does that solve everything?! If I like him, then what?!
What?
He's here.
Where are we going?
Just keep going where I told you.
The cold is killing me. I'm so dizzy!
Turn right after the bridge.
Just show up, will you? Whatever it is.
Come in.
Don't close the door. Makes me uncomfortable.
You live here?
Beer, juice, water. What should I get you?
They say people with huge portraits on their walls suffer from narcissism.
What's so great about you, to have such a huge photo on your wall?
Why did you bring me all the way here?
Are you just acting serious, or is this real?
What do you expect from me, throwing that atmosphere in my face?
Last Christmas...
I went to Hokkaido with Seong Gu.
Japan.
We went climbing together.
Then Seong Gu fell off a cliff.
The last time I went to Japan was to find Seong Gu's corpse.
Look at all the lies you're telling me!
You expect me to believe that?!
Right about now,
the snow should have started to melt in Hokkaido.
Come May,
someone should find Seong Gu's corpse, still buried in snow.
Are you serious?
Look at me.
Why did he die?
What happened?
Are you okay?
They said you've had a cold for quite a while.
How can you hang on without taking anything?
It could become serious and you'd get pneumonia, you silly.
I'm sorry.
Don't misunderstand.
I slept at the office yesterday.
Tomorrow is triple witching day.
You know, right? Stocks dance up and down all day at that time.
Go back to the office.
They said you'll be here a couple of days.
So just have a good rest and relax.
After work, I'll go get the kids.
After I drop them off at their aunt's, I'll come back here.
OK?
Dong Won.
Can't you stay here a little longer?
I need to get back to the office.
And the kids, too...
They say you have a light pneumonia. Nothing serious.
All right. Let me make a call.
What's this?
Summer...
No. Around this autumn, you can open it.
What's inside there?
- Just take it with you and open it later. - I need to know what's in there!
Go. I have to take a shower.
Why did Seong Gu die?
Did you kill him? You did it?
I have no idea, either, why Seong Gu fell off that cliff.
What's that supposed to mean? You said you went climbing together.
Who would possibly believe me?
If I said we went climbing up that mountain together...
and Seong Gu fell off that cliff by accident.
Wouldn't you know?
Let's talk about what happened in detail! We'll find a solution.
It can't be your fault, right?
Is it the time to laugh now?!
You could be falsely accused!
In this world...
In this world, what?
In this world, what?!
Don't open it!
Then, tell me.
What's inside here.
Cheers.
Hye Jin.
You... When you first met me...
Was it your first time?
I'm saying, was it really your first time, when we met in Tokyo?
Seriously?
At that age?
Why, do you care about that?
Whomever you dated before you met me, or whichever kind of relationship it was,
doesn't really make any difference to me.
Japanese people don't care about such things.
Really?
When unmarried, people can meet whomever they want.
But you need to be faithful once you tie the knot.
I was just curious, so I asked.
You were the first for me, Dong Won.
My first date.
My first kiss.
Let's do this.
If we meet anyone we fall for,
we'll let the other know first and break up.
Nice, uh?
Not at all.
What I'm saying...
You do that. I won't fall for anyone.
What if you really do?
What's wrong with you?
I'm living with the man I love right now.
Why should I fall for anyone?
It could happen to anybody.
Still, I don't like it.
Know why I asked?
You....
I, what?
Tell me. I, what?
Because one never knows what you're feeling. You blockhead.
Blockhead!
If you like it, say you like it. Or the opposite if you don't.
You need to express your feelings more explicitly.
Are you dead or something?
Come here!
Then, tell me.
What's inside here.
- My youth. - What?!
28 years.
My entire life is inside that.
Why are you giving that to me?
Why?
Stop meeting that person.
Find someone you really like.
And live a happy life.
No need to know anything about him. You can just keep nodding.
His only son is nowhere to be found for the last few months.
The police hasn't even been able to investigate.
He's probably trying to avoid any news from leaking out.
But this is not the first time something like this happens.
In due time, he'll just come back on his own.
All you need to do is pretend we're looking for him.
What's with the chewing gum these days?
Have you quit smoking?
How many more years will that get you?
I just want to suffer a little less before I die.
You did the right thing.
Lung cancer would be just a pain to handle.
You still keep money inside there?
Why don't you stop? You need to think about your retirement.
No! No! Don't go!
No, no, no!
You can't go!!
Oh! Detective Park.
Remember Chu Dong Choon?
Who did you say?
Chu Dong Choon.
You know, the guy who killed his mother for petty money and got the death penalty.
Ah! Yes, yes, of course.
They say he wasn't the culprit.
What?
Don't worry too much.
Is this the first time it happens?
He'll call us when he's out of money.
But he's still worried.
He's getting worse and worse.
Just forget about it.
In this day and age, just because you re-married...
If you said all you had to say, leave us.
If you count the money he squandered on the pretext of starting his own business,
it'd probably be enough to buy a couple of buildings.
Don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this.
Even when he was away for long periods, he'd always leave some traces.
Whether he's alive or dead.
Just find that out.
If he's alive, just let him do whatever he pleases.
In case he died....
What could have possibly happened?!
Anything you find, call this number.
Don't call anyone else.
If you wanted to know more about him, I could tell you.
But I think that would influence you.
I prefer it that way, too.
Start looking around Gangnam.
Isn't it obvious where well-off kids would hang out?
By the way, Detective.
You said your work with that broker is over.
He's a scumbag.
Who?!
He said it was something for his boss.
Turns out he wanted me to spy on the young woman he had an affair with.
And he's got a wife and kids. Man...
You mean spying on this?
There're so many scumbags in this world.
Those fools, they're worse than poor people who steal,
and then end up killing because of it.
Even the law can't do anything about those scumbags.
Eehhh! Damn bastard.
Are those things someone sane would do?
Oh! Man. What a scumbag.
Letter of Resignation
You're quitting?
All of a sudden, why?
You really....
That could happen to anybody. Is that something to quit over?!
Was Chu Dong Choon getting sentenced your fault?
Thank you for everything.
You think this will bring him back to life?!
Anybody in?
Is anybody there?
- You're here! - Yes.
- Is business going well? - Yes.
Thanks to you, my life has completely turned around.
- Are the kids doing well? - Yes.
Don't do this.
I can handle things by myself now.
Keep it. Use it if anything urgent comes up.
Sir!
Your name, at least...
These days, where would I find someone like you?!
Back when you were in prison,
what could you have possibly owed my husband, to do all this for me?
I promised Dong Choon.
That I'd take care of you and the kids, whenever I'd come out.
I'm so mortified about this.
They say it was someone else who killed his mother.
But he was the only one sentenced to death.
I went to the central, even the court.
But when I asked who was the bastard who caught my husband,
nobody would tell me anything, no matter how hard I tried!
I'll find that bastard of a detective...
and make him pay for everything!
Oh, my! I really...
I really can't take this anymore!
The pain is killing me!
I became a detective after I started going after my wife, who ran away.
I hated her so much, for sponging on all those men,
that I blindly went after every single crime of passion.
Chu Dong Choon was one of those victims.
I believed this man, with a wife and kids,
killed his old mother for some petty money.
So I had neither time nor will to listen to any reason or excuse.
This damned anger of mine.
Don't get up. I'll get going.
I'm sorry. I wanted to get up and prepare you something.
Don't worry about me. I'll get something at work.
I transferred some money here.
There's enough money in the account, why?
Use this instead.
If you feel like it, go shopping as well.
I mean, use it however you wish.
Got it?
Will you be late?
Oh! You haven't been out in a while. I see it's making you dizzy.
Uhh... By the way, when will you go get the kids?
Probably tomorrow.
Have a good day, then.
If you're ill, stay home. Always going out...
Oh! Ma'am! It looks so good on you!
You have such a thin figure, the silhouette is just great.
How do you maintain such form at your age?!
You must be dieting.
Isn't the front a little too revealing, at my age?
The back as well.
Ma'am, you shouldn't worry about age.
People prefer a fresher and younger fashion these days.
It's the body that counts.
Other people don't have the body, so they don't wear these.
I'm sorry. I'll come again.
Why don't you try changing your style, Ma'am?!
You like ice cream, right?
I really wanted to meet...
and offer you my apologies.
What apologies?
I don't need apologies from anyone.
I got to know who you were, by chance.
Where you live.
How many kids you have.
Did you go around spying on me?
Why?
I can't tell you that.
I know how you spend the day as well, more or less.
I needed to know, that is.
How you live.
What kind of person you are.
How come...
you ended up in Hokkaido.
If only I could, I'd turn back time.
Back to that valley in Otaru, buried in snow.
You'd probably like to make everything that happened vanish.
Aren't you hungry?
Did you follow me around all day?
That's bad.
I knew I'd meet you eventually, even though I'd hoped it wouldn't happen.
But not this way.
If it was like then, meeting by chance, I'd understand.
Coincidence or not.
I don't like the fact that you tried to learn about my private life.
- Isn't it? Think if you were... - There's no need to feel bad about it.
Even though, of course, it couldn't be pleasant.
What are you saying?
Was your illness really bad?
I saw you spend the night at that hospital.
Even if I don't know what kind of hospital room it was.
Thank you for buying me lunch.
I was hungry, but then again, I had no appetite so I planned to fast.
You could need me again.
Like that time, when my heart changed
I want no regrets. Now I know (like a fool)
You coming back to me, might just be a bad memory
But now, I will change
May not this be the end
Not again, may not this be the end
I haven't loved you enough to erase you from my memory
I want to tell you again, that this is a good thing
Now I trust it, my heart
Now I know, what love is (like a fool)
I won't regret, trust me (like you used to)
Only good memories remain of you
Now, I'll laugh once again
Just trust me
What did you buy?
I transferred enough money so you could go shopping.
Let's divorce.
Let's do what?!
In this world, there are four kinds of husband.
The one who gives you money and love.
The one who gives you money, but no love.
Then the one who loves you, but gives you no money.
And finally, the one who gives you nothing at all.
I won't make it to first, but I'm at least second.
Oh. Wait.
More than someone who gives you money but no love,
you prefer someone who loves you, but gives you no money?
Then, I'd come third.
Look at me.
Turn this way, I said.
Is this all because you feel sorry?
For going away?
To Hokkaido, I mean.
Is that it?
You did something there, didn't you?
No.
What's wrong, then?
Nothing happened.
Fine. Let's think about it.
Didn't I say this when we were on our honeymoon?
That if we fell for anyone, we'd tell the other and break up.
It hasn't gotten to that point.
That woman...
I don't like her that much.
Enough to divorce you.
That's good to hear.
What's wrong?!
Let's just keep on silently hating each other, is that what you mean?!
It's been falling all morning?
For how much is it selling?
They just blocked trading for excessive drop.
You... know how it feels to hit the bottom?
How long have I been working in this business?!
Not stocks. I meant life.
What?
What's with the surprised look?
Ahh, Director. If you say that, what's everyone else supposed to say?
Then, everyone else would be dead by now!
You think that of me, don't you?
That Ha Dong Won's life is perfect.
You're our idol, Director.
Is anything worrying you?
Nothing.
- So, why? - No need to know.
Ahh, I was surprised! Wondered what was going on.
Too bad. Let's sell as well.
In these cases, don't you usually hang on?
You need to know when to let go.
I even did that with the wife.
You little. Pretend you know anything, will you?
Don't look at me like that, prick!
Director! I didn't look anywhere?!
Getting all riled up for nothing!
- Auntie didn't even make you snacks? - Yeah, I was hungry.
Mom, don't get ill. I don't like going there.
Auntie is so scary!
- Auntie is scary? - Yeah, like a goblin.
Goblin?!
Bok Sun is a goblin!
Let's make Bok Sun angry!
- Eat some of this. - This is good.
- Mommy! - Mommy!
Just like something that suddenly comes to mind,
my children's faces flashed in front of me.
Life is...
I'm still young to talk about life.
But what's so special about living, really?
I was asking myself, again and again.
Right. I was foolish.
I shouldn't have been to Hokkaido.
How could something like this pull me down and tear me apart?
In life, more than the love between man and woman,
aren't there more important things?
My kids.
I was ashamed.
It was shameful.
I'll be ashamed of that, until the day I die.
- Hello? - You threw away my number, didn't you?
I thought you'd do that, so I called.
I'm sorry!!
My apologies!! I'm sorry!!
Wait. Let me get that call.
Oh. Wait. I'll take it inside.
Let's go!
How much did it go up?!
And the Nasdaq?
That much?!
Wait, wait. Wait a second.
How much did we sell today?
I'll be damned.
Wait. I'll take a look with my PC.
Bok Sun, look at him!

I didn't want to remember, but it's not something I can easily forget.
What on earth did you do?
Did you really do that to become rich?!
The fact the one riding those sports cars wasn't really me,
but me pretending to be something else.
- Didn't you say you wanted to see me? - Come, then.
Aren't we like that?
You know. I have this.
It's been a while.
It felt like a smear in my life, but also like fireworks exploding.
You're high maintenance.
I'm not really like that.
That wasn't the first time I saw you.
I already knew who you were.
