For someone as young as you, isn't this a little too much?
If you need to talk to me, let's move out of here.
What?!
Doesn't this concern just me and you?
Yoon Hye Jin is my wife!
You interfered in our marital problems.
If you put it that way, Da Ae would be on the same boat.
Since I interfered in your relationship with Da Ae.
Of course you did.
Since when have you known Da Ae?
Last autumn?
No matter how you put it, that's not even a year!
Do you get it now?
The fact you've started ruining my life the moment you appeared?
Da Ae and Yoon Hye Jin aren't objects you possess.
What did you say?!
Even trying to explain things for an eternity...
wouldn't be enough, with someone like you.
Give up on Hye Jin.
"Hye Jin"?!
You've oppressed her enough. You can let her go now.
That's how serious you two are?
It might not just be because of the kids.
At my age,
falling in love with someone once again could be so scary,
I might be using that as an excuse.
If love is like fireworks...
If, because it is such, it makes you shiver in joy,
how should I define those shadows of doubt engulfing me after?
If I'd just ignored it.
If I could have just waited until he confessed about his affair.
If he didn't confess, then I'd continue ignoring it.
Then, even without my knowing it, they could have broken up.
If that were the case...
If that were the case, nothing would have happened.
I would have never gone to Hokkaido with the intent of dying.
I wouldn't have met Jun Soo there.
No...
I can't regret that.
Meeting Jun Soo was the only firework in my life.
I would have kept living without experiencing it.
This joy of life, slowly exploding inside me.
Bok Sun!
By any chance...
if anything happens to her,
whatever it is, are you confident you can help her?
You can't do that by yourself.
Know why?
Because if I only wanted,
I could completely destroy that woman's life.
First...
let's talk of our daughters.
My wife has spent her life cherishing them more than her own life.
Could she give up on them, and choose you?
Second issue...
is that I'll have to let her go first, before she comes to you.
She's not the type of shameless woman...
who would abandon her husband to go with some youngster.
Of course... a mistake made in a frenzy, I can understand.
After all,
isn't that the kind of temptation everyone feels, at least once?
Adultery's temptation.
That, how should I call it?
The pungent excitement normal life can't give you?
It's like the appeal of what is forbidden.
But, how long will it last?
In other words,
that woman, Yoon Hye Jin...
She doesn't have the boldness to bask in such daring behavior.
You need to understand that.
What could the reason she fell for you be?
That's because I had an affair.
And what's more, with the same woman, for close to three years.
If I hadn't done any of that,
would my wife have gone to Hokkaido?
Even if she indeed went,
she wouldn't have spent one fickle night of love with you.
At the very best, she'd have enjoyed the sights,
have some crabs, and then come home.
Uh?
I guess you still don't understand.
The reason you still look so confident in front of me...
must be because you think my wife loves you.
Love?!
Experience over a decade of marriage,
and you'll come to understand that is merely one of life's many spices.
Just like in the West, waking up,
telling each other "I love you, Honey."
Heading for bed...
as a signal of your desire to "just sleep for tonight."
Blurting another "I love you, Honey."
The love between a couple...
is nothing more than a slightly lavish ornament.
You must have a lot to say.
But... listen to me until I'm done.
Did the fact I was dating Da Ae... make you angry?
The fact that innocent and bright Da Ae...
became the sex toy of a successful middle-aged man,
must have driven you mad.
If you really loved Da Ae, that is.
Yeah.
You must have hated me enough to kill me.
Then, by chance, you meet this man's wife in Hokkaido.
Let's stop, shall we?
I'm almost done. Listen to me a little more.
Insulting Hye Jin like that...
"is something you can't accept!"
So, what?
What is it you can do?
Are you going to throw that glass in my face?
Yeah, it must be something like that.
But, I'm different.
I could break...
that Yoon Hye Jin you love so much into smithereens,
or tear her into shreds.
I'm just saying.
I couldn't possibly do that.
I don't know if I love that woman as much as you do,
but a whole lot more than you...
I need that woman.
As my children's mother.
And...
as Ha Dong Won's wife.
I warned you.
I will never let that woman go.
No matter what,
I'll make her go back to the way she was.
You could certainly do that.
You could use your children, to make her come back home.
And then?
Have you imagined the aftermath?
How Hye Jin will go on living.
If you only desire, you could tear her to pieces.
- What I meant... - I said, have you imagined?!
Torn to pieces, ruined, broken... that Yoon Hye Jin.
Is that how you want to see her?
Like a bird, hit by lightning and lying on the ground,
soaking wet in the rain of a stormy night.
Imagine that Yoon Hye Jin, slowly dying under your eyes.
She will.
If she goes back to you, that woman called Yoon Hye Jin will die.
The life she'll live won't be living.
Since you'll trample over her for the rest of your days.
I can't let you do that,
even dead.
That was quite emotional.
You'll stake your life to protect her?!
Why didn't you say you love her instead?
That you didn't realize she's the love of your life.
And asked me to help you.
That you couldn't live without her,
so let her go back home.
If that's not the case,
then let Yoon Hye Jin go.
Since I am the one who loves her more than anybody!
That, even if the world falls into ruins,
living with her will be enough for me.
That, even enduring the flames of hell,
I'd be happy to just live with her.
If you love her as much as I do,
then kill me.
I will never...
resent you for that.
Jun Soo!
I came out looking for you, but you were gone.
You went out without looking back once,
so I thought you were angry...
I love you!
I can tell that to everyone in this world,
that I love Yoon Hye Jin.
I love Yoon Hye Jin!!
Sir, we're here.
Ahh... how can you bring the car here?!
You need to park it inside.
Sir... This is a taxi.
Taxi?!
Where is my car?
You need to pay me!
You crazy bastard...
Really...
Is it this entire world that's crazy,
or just me?
How can that fool be so confident with me?
Ha Seonsaengnim*... (*respectful address)
You must be drunk. Seonsaengnim!
Get up, uh?
Get up!
Who the hell is the crazy one?
Is it me, or this damned world?
Be careful, you'll get hurt!
It's me...
The one who farted first is getting angry...
You know?
I couldn't say a thing and just came back home.
Wake up, Ha Seonsaengnim!
Get up... Oh, man.
Sit there for a moment.
What did you go there for?
Hye Jin was just about to regret everything...
Ahhh! Really! You're killing me.
Why are you so weak?
You act like this, so Hye Jin is getting even bolder!
Think about it. What did she do to earn that right?
Heard that saying?
You shouldn't go look for cats and women when they leave home.
No matter how bad she feels, women should protect their families!
What did she ever do to deserve leaving home?!
Should I bring you some water? Ahh...
Where did you go?
Somewhere.
You met someone?
No.
So?!
I just went somewhere for a short while.
But why did it take so long?
Actually...
I was about to go home,
but I missed you so much, I couldn't take it anymore.
So...
So, what?
"Even if she kicks me out, let's see her just once more."
I came back thinking that.
Done?
What?
It kind of smelled a little funny, what you said.
Where?
I can't smell anything?!
Leaning onto you today felt a little strange, you know?
And I felt a little sorry.
So I tried to follow you out, but couldn't find you.
I thought you'd be looking at me from there.
So you were disappointed, that I might have just gone?
That could have just been empty talk.
Like people who tell you everything you want to hear,
but then become someone completely different the moment they leave.
You don't know how I feel now.
How living for me...
How full of happiness it feels now.
Enough to spellbound you.
I told you, right?
I will always...
be at your side.
Whether you can see me or not,
I'll be always here at your side.
Whenever you want to see me*, (*note: not "miss me")
raise your hands and touch anywhere.
Touch.
Can you feel me?
Whenever I feel the need to see you,
I close my eyes, no matter where I am.
Then, you appear to me.
If I raise my hand and caress the air,
I can sense your presence.
Do you feel uneasy?
Know how long I spent busily running around?
Thanks to you, almost all my problems have been solved.
Wait for me just a little.
And I'll finally achieve freedom.
Why did you drink so much?
Dong Won.
You went to Hye Jin's place, right?
She's way too lucky for her own good, Yoon Hye Jin.
Just ask her for divorce.
Then, she'll finally wake up.
I think I might have gone a little too far.
Why?
What did you do wrong?
Separating her from the kids.
Ahhh... isn't that your way of telling her to come home?
You must really love Hye Jin.
She's so lucky, that Yoon Hye Jin.
I keep thinking of that.
Should I just let her go?
If I do, she would be happy.
Even if you do, she'll eventually come back.
Worrying for nothing...
When I was done with work in Tokyo and was about to come home,
she followed me all the way to the airport.
She did?
That silly... And she feigned ignorance with me.
I was a little embarrassed, so I raised my voice.
She went back without saying a single word.
But...
after I'd completed all the check-in procedures,
as I was heading for the gate,
she was standing there.
She was driving me mad.
I dated her without any intention to marry.
Ahh... she was pretending just to earn your compassion, to grab you.
During the flight, I was thinking.
She said she couldn't live without me.
Whatever...
Back then...
I should have been stronger.
It's here, you silly!
Follow me! Follow me!
Here, here! Jump!
Right. Once more.
Jump!
At first, I was jealous.
The jealousy I felt when I said he was just going.
Or even whenever he looks happy next to me.
Is that happiness...
really something I gave him?
Jump! Jump!
That little fool...
Wait.
It's windy.
Wind.
Like so?
Looks nice.
Am I so light?
Be careful!
Eat it while it's hot.
Keep it around your neck.
The wind here is cold.
It's too expensive...
Promise me. That you'll always keep it around your neck.
Come on.
I promise, too.
Be it sister, or mother...
I won't bring that up anymore.
I'm going.
Next time...
bring that girl from the last time.
It's not what you think.
It looked like she likes you.
I like someone else.
Really?
Yes.
Then, come with her.
I'll make some tasty maeuntang (pepper pot).
Is it one-sided?
Yes.
Eonni.
How do I look?
What?
Do I look pretty?
What's with you again? You're making me nervous.
You said I look like a witch.
Da Ae, stop that. You're scaring me!
Mirror! Mirror on the wall!
Who's the fairest of them all?
Ah... stop that! What's wrong with you?
It's me!
Ehh... as if I hadn't enough of bad business,
what's with the old farts now?
Eonni.
I'll go out a minute.
- Hi. - How are you?
Who's that?
You know who I am, right?
One thing makes me curious.
How did you learn I was dating Jun Soo?
Oh, that...
While cleaning the house, I found your name card.
Park Byung Shik
I was wondering who...
Ah! We met at the airport, when you stopped me from going to Paris.
You don't remember anything regarding Lee Jun Soo?
Answer my question first.
How you learned about me.
That's a long story.
I have all the time you need.
You're dating someone, aren't you?
Other than Lee Jun Soo.
After investigating what kind of relationship you had with him,
and whether you had any other relationship going on...
Did Ha Dong Won's wife ask you that?
Then?
Ha Dong Won asked.
He did even that?!
That man.
Then, did you know this?
That Ha Dong Won's wife and Jun Soo went together to Hokkaido.
They did?
They were together there.
Although I don't know where they first met.
Just for your information.
Ahhh... wait.
So, Ha Dong Won's wife and Lee Jun Soo. That...
They had an affair.
He and Ha Dong Won's wife.
And they were together in Hokkaido?!
Ask Jun Soo.
Whether this is the truth or not.
You don't know when they started dating?
Well.
So, did they first meet in Hokkaido, or...
It could be a lot earlier than that.
It must be.
Then, it'd make sense they'd be together in Hokkaido.
Could be.
I called you because of the name card.
Since I'm still very curious about Jun Soo.
I'm sorry.
I went to the beach, so I needed a shower.
I had to ask you a few things.
Go ahead.
Inside this photo,
the woman who's with you.
Take a look.
What do you want to know?
Ahh... it's just something I shot while following you.
I had no interest in that woman.
But?
But she's Ha Dong Won's wife.
Who said so?
And you were together in Hokkaido.
This has nothing to do with Seong Gu.
Ah... whether it has or not...
Did you go together?
We just met there by chance.
And you're still meeting her.
You would know, if you've kept following me.
I didn't know she is Ha Dong Won's wife.
Don't get her involved.
This is funny, don't you think? Uh?
That you like Ha Dong Won's wife.
And that the Hong Da Ae who likes you, with Ha Dong Won...
I said stop!
Try to involve that person in this once again,
and I'll kill you with my own hands.
Out of here.
Why are you acting like this?
I was just trying to prove your innocence.
I don't need any help from you.
She even came here once.
It's not like I said she had anything to do with Seong Gu's death,
why are you getting all angry at me?
What's wrong? I didn't say a thing!
Didn't I tell you to shut your mouth about this?
To be careful?
Have a nice day.
Hey!
It's Jun Soo.
Do well. He came yesterday and today, so...
Call me in three hours.
If I don't answer, call the police.
Call the police?!
Da Ae, what are you talking about?
Hey!
Oh my! So all that ruckus for this?
You really...
Who told you I was here?
I asked Woo Seok.
Go out, the kids are waiting for you.
What?
I wanted to bring them in, but...
if they saw how you're living, they'd be scared. So I just...
Hey, Bok Sun.
Hey... okay.
You're growing up really fast.
Na Ri, Na Rae!
It's Mommy.
You're not eating?
Have some.
The pizza is really good here.
Mom. You live there?
Yeah. Want to go there later?
I don't like you living in a place like that.
It's just for the time being.
When I make some money, later...
And how are you going to make money?
I do!
Why, am I incompetent or something?
Did you divorce with Daddy?
No.
Auntie said so.
You're not hungry?
I am.
You promised!
Is Bok Sun doing well?
Na Ri!
I'll live with Dad.
I don't like being poor.
You?
- Me? - Say it!
I like Mommy.
You promised!!
I like Bok Sun, too.
Mommy! What did Daddy do wrong?
Should we go see Bok Sun later?
What did Daddy do wrong?!
Ajumma!!
Did Mommy buy you something tasty?
Let's go, or we'll be late for the Hagwon (cram school).
Hagwon? Okay.
Na Rae is cordial with Mommy?!
Mommy, what's cordial?
You like your mother.
I like her.
Let's go, or you'll be late.
Go.
Oh... careful.
Don't say anything silly to the kids.
They're much more realistic than you.
I like Mommy.
Be strong, Mommy!
Fighting!
Should we sing something?
Hmmm... What could be nice?
Ah! That would be cool.
(Note: She's singing an old children's song)
Who is it?
Hye Jin!
Oh!
Oh, seeing it like this, it's a nice place?
You didn't need to bring all this.
Oh... who are you?
Have a seat.
Oh... I... I... I have to go soon.
- Should I give you a cup of tea? - No, no.
Looks like you came to tell me something.
Ehh... what the hell.
I'll just tell you.
Our company's director...
must have worked with Ha Dong Won quite often...
because of company shares.
So...
I know what you're trying to say.
It's okay.
Woo Seok found something else for me.
And I can just look for other jobs.
Honestly... guide...
was too hard for me.
Leave everything to me.
I'll look around with other travel agencies.
And then... Hell, would he let you starve to death?
Yeah, I guess.
Have a cup of coffee before you go.
Okay, I'll have a rest.
Ahh... my legs! My legs!
Motherless bastard.
What did she say?
She didn't move a beat, even seeing the kids, right?
Didn't move a beat?!
She turned white.
Of course! I'm a woman myself.
Yes. Don't worry about it.
Leave it to me.
I'll make her submit and come back home.
Yes, thank you, Seong Suk.
Take care of the kids.
Yes. I'll see you later.
What are you looking at?
Are you a friend or a foe?
What did you just say?
I was just talking to myself.
Did you get possessed by some ghost or something?
Weren't you an inseparable friend of Mr. Ha's wife?
Then, you shouldn't act like that.
Why, how did I act?
You're fired.
Haven't heard that old saying?
Sisters-in-law messing with you are worse than mothers-in-law hitting you.
Worry about work! Don't always stick your nose in others' business.
Who the hell are you?
You did well, Na Ri.
What if Mommy resents me for that?
You need to act like that, if Mommy is to come back home.
Just trust me.
Okay?
Oh oh! My sweet little puppy.
"My" little puppy?!
Oh my! You pretty thing!
You're so pretty!
Come on, smile.
This is all you could find?
Yes. The market these days is in bad shape.
It's when the market is in bad shape that you hit the jackpot.
Got a point.
Director.
What if they find out?
Listen to that... It's bad luck.
It's because the director has lots of enemies!
Dae Jin, you?
Yes, Director. Here you are.
I focused on small firms.
How are you ever going to hit the jackpot with small firms?
Here are the stocks I chose.
Take a look at them tonight.
If nothing is wrong, we start tomorrow.
Yes.
What did he choose?
Wow!
He's a genius, all... Ehh ehh!
- What is it? - The kids don't need to know.
Let's have a look.
Let us look!
Just a while!
Why always me?!
Ah!
I just came back from the Chairman's office.
Did you hand out your resignation?
Yeah.
Why?
I had no excuses.
If he asks you to puke all that money back, it won't be easy.
How much did you get, back then?
A big one.
Calm down, then.
Think about it.
Oh, right.
Early next week, they'll announce my new appointment.
Division Director.
That's great!
Congrats.
Work under me, why don't you?
If they kick you out here, who would take you?
If that happens, I can just open some restaurant.
Congrats, Shin Hyung.
Bravo!
Division Director!
Congratulations!
May I present Shin Jung Ho, the Division Director!
Bravo!
Thank you.
You fool, you're way in over your head.
Why are you just trying to scare me?
Drive the car down the cliff, since you're here!
What?
What?!
The Japanese police...
believe my kid died around last Christmas.
Right?
Yes, I've heard that myself.
This postcard was sent to me by Seong Gu.
One is from last January, sent from Paris, France.
The other two were sent between...
the end of January and early February, from Japan.
That's right.
If you read, you'll see for yourself.
But they're full of despair.
"I want to die, I need money."
"I will never come back to Seoul."
He's not the type to write me letters.
And he never sent me postcards before.
He even rarely calls.
But a look at those postcards,
and you'll feel as if he was about to commit suicide.
So you're saying Seong Gu didn't send these?
What's more, how can someone who died last December...
send me postcards in January and February?
Pardon me,
but this is Seong Gu's handwriting.
Back then, I just read them without thinking.
It's similar to Seong Gu's handwriting.
But it's not his.
If you can't believe me,
ask the police to verify.
So that's why you believe Seong Gu was killed by Lee Jun Soo.
I can't bring him back to life,
but we should at least expunge his grief.
Now...
can you understand what I'm feeling?
Friend?!
According to whom?
You've never liked me even once.
And never thought of me as a friend.
You just used me.
Right.
You must have seen me just as that from the beginning.
But why did you pretend to like me?
Because you felt sorry for me?!
Thanks for that!
For helping this pitiful soul.
But I don't need to have your compassion.
I can handle it on my own,
just like you were sucking Seong Gu's blood,
I'm doing just fine by myself!
Do you know this?
I'm not as servile as you.
Whether I sold my body or my soul,
I still kept living my way!
Come out!
What are you doing?!
- Let me go! - Come!
Come!
That's great!
I can just have you kill me and get it over with!
Why are you hesitating?
You brought me here for that.
To protect that woman.
Kill me! I said kill me!!
I told you, stay out of my life!
Why aren't you listening to me?!
Why?!
Da Ae!
If you could just grab my hands,
I could have started a new life.
You'll meet someone, love him...
I said I won't!
You're still in my heart, how can I start anew?!
How much do you like me?
Nothing lasts forever.
Why?!
I thought it was...
So I was ready to give up the kids.
Don't force me into a corner anymore.
I don't know how I might react.
You want to save her?
Pack up things and leave.
You're going to her?
Before I die... I'll come to you.
I don't want to lose you!
You're all I want.
