A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
-I'll do it. -Thank you.
All right. Thank you.
[grunts] Thanks to you, I traveled back comfortably.
It was on my way.
Thank you.
[grunts]
I'll put it here, sir.
Okay.
Make sure to come here for a get-together as you promised.
Of course.
Thank you. Bye.
-Okay. Take care. -Okay.
JINHYANG HOF
-[pedestrian grunts] -Gosh, you startled me.
-[laughing] -Seriously, I almost fell down.
-Let's go. -Where were you hiding?
I was in the alley.
You startled me.
-You startled me. -Come on.
[scoffs]
Despite everything, there's no place like home.
That goes without saying.
I forgot the key.
-What? -What should I do?
I knew you'd forget it.
-So I brought it. -What?
You're silly. Hurry up and open the door. [giggles]
Jeong-suk.
Jeong-suk, this is--
What's going on?
[Seong-su] Go inside.
Okay.
I came back because In-tae told me that there will be a job opening.
I'll live here until I get hired.
You don't know when that'll happen.
You and Mi-hwa under the same roof…
How does it make sense?
It wasn't an easy choice for me either.
But what choice did I have?
I had no money for a motel,
and In-tae kept telling me to move in.
In-tae told you that because he doesn't know anything.
Exactly.
He doesn't know anything, so it would be strange to say no.
Besides,
it didn't look like you'd take me back anytime soon.
That's your excuse?
I think I'll be able to get a proper job this time, Jeong-suk.
Soon, I'll come back to you and Min-ho with my chin up.
"Come back"?
"With your chin up"?
Then what? Do you really want to end things?
I know we're going through a rough patch…
but let's get through this.
I'll be in touch.
[exhaling sharply]
It looks tasty.
[Jeong-suk] Mmm.
Mom.
Hmm? What is it?
My goodness.
I'm sorry.
[murmurs]
Go ahead and eat.
[sighs]
[sighs, chuckles]
Mom, is your work not going well?
Hmm?
I was wondering if your adult product business wasn't going well.
It's going well.
That's why we're eating this delicious yellow corvina.
-Did you pack everything? -I almost forgot.
-I need to buy something. -Okay.
I need to buy some clay. Please give me 500 won.
500 won?
It's 400 won for two,
but I need 100 won for Apollo snacks.
[chuckling]
All right.
[sighs] Let's see.
What? Where's my wallet?
Hmm?
[sighs]
[Na] What's that? It looks quite old.
It's nothing.
[exclaims]
Captain told us to gather around. Didn't you hear him?
Me too?
[captain] "Me too?"
Aren't you a member of the team?
I need to talk to everyone about a serious problem,
so come on out.
Why is he so angry?
Man, Captain is no joke when he's angry.
[sighs] I think we'll get a hot taste of it today.
"A hot taste"?
[Na] Gosh, it's hot.
I thought there was something you wanted to say.
-Hurry up and eat. -[Na] Mmm.
You said there's a serious problem.
Oh, right.
That?
-[bowl thuds] -[sighs]
There is a problem indeed.
[mumbles]
We need better teamwork so that we can be more productive.
You joined the team a while ago,
but you're still not close to the others.
We should eat together from time to time and foster teamwork.
I agree with you.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but may I order more meat?
Why would you ask me that?
Ask the person who's paying.
[Na] That's right.
May we order more meat,
Detective Kim?
-Suit yourselves. -[Na] Ma'am!
[captain] Please give us four servings of meat.
[chuckles] I'm so stuffed.
It must have been expensive.
Still, we earned something valuable thanks to the captain.
Friendship and rapport.
You can't buy them with money.
That's right. It finally feels like we've become a family. [laughs]
Since you paid for the meal, I'll pay for dessert.
The vending machine at the convenience store over there
has incredible coffee.
I'm good, thanks. I need to leave for questioning.
Is that so? Still…
What? Isn't that Seong-su?
[Na] That's him.
I thought he had left town. Did he come back?
Hey…
I know we're going through a rough patch…
but let's get through this.
I'll be in touch.
Oh.
Have you had lunch?
-Yes. -Yes.
Seong-su, I thought you left to find work. Did you come back?
Yes, I was offered an opportunity here.
This time, keep your temper in check
-and hold out. -[chuckles]
You should stop coming to the station.
Don't worry.
I don't think I've seen him before.
He joined recently.
He's the ace of the division, Detective Kim.
I see. Hello.
Trash.
[chuckles] Excuse me? Trash?
Yes.
Trash.
I just saw you litter the street.
Ah. [chuckles]
How could you say that about a tiny gum wrapper? [laughs]
Pick it up and put it in the trash can.
I mean…
Why would you glare at me for such a trivial matter?
It's as if you have ill feelings toward me.
Pick it up.
What's wrong with you two?
I picked it up too.
[Seong-su] It's nothing.
Don't be like that.
[captain] Pick it up.
All right.
[Seong-su] Here.
Look ahead, Seong-su.
[captain] Come and have a cup of vending machine coffee.
FANTASY LINGERIE SURVEY
PRODUCTS CUSTOMERS WANT TO BUY
The number one product customers wanted to buy was
a sexy slip dress.
Number two was a vibrator.
[Yeong-bok] Oh.
Now, the reason why they have no interest in buying.
Number one, "I'm worried people might judge."
Number two, "The price is too high."
That's right.
Most of them are regular housewives, so they probably can't afford it.
Among those who have bought the products,
many had no interest in purchasing again.
That's right. It's not like vibrators break.
You don't need a new one for each season.
-It's understandable. -Mmm.
In conclusion, uh,
we need to target people who haven't purchased any items.
Oh, in that case, where can we find women with a fat wallet
and no purchase history? [chuckles]
[sighs] I know such women.
-Huh? -Huh?
-Who? -The Royal Club members' wives.
I see.
You're right.
Those women are big spenders.
Ms. Oh, you know the Royal Club members, right?
I know them,
but I need to solve a problem in order to approach those women.
What's that?
The Royal Club chairman's wife.
-I see. -The owner of the real estate agency?
[Geum-hui] Yes.
That club is like the military.
The head is the wife of Chairman Eom.
Gosh, that woman…
She threw a fit during Jeong-suk's first in-home sale,
so it'd be hard to win her over.
I ran into her while handing out the survey.
Upon learning about the business, she asked me to cut ties with her.
[gasps] Isn't that a bit extreme?
[sighs]
Oh. Ah.
-Hello. -[Ju-ri] Hello.
Hello.
You didn't tell me you'd be home.
Why do I need to tell you about coming to my own house?
I came to eat lunch.
Uh, I brought steamed buns. Would you like one?
No, thank you. You can have them.
[scoffs] How frigid. He's so cold.
[chuckles] We'll get going now.
-Okay. -Let's think of ways to persuade Ms. Heo.
-Okay. Let's do that. -Okay.
-I'll take these two. [laughs] -[Geum-hui] Okay.
-[Yeong-bok] I'll help. -[Jeong-suk] Okay.
What are you scheming this time?
We didn't scheme. We had a meeting.
Using the survey results,
we made some business plans.
Ah.
Plans to make an enemy of Chairman Eom's wife?
Plans to destroy my long-cherished wish of moving the pharmacy?
Why are you so pessimistic?
You never know.
She might become my customer someday.
Customer?
Give me a break.
She despises your products. What makes you think that she'll buy them?
You're being delusional without a realistic solution.
Are you serious?
-[groans] -What will you do if she buys my products?
If that happens, I'll do anything.
I'll buy all of these products.
No, that won't be enough.
What products are there?
-What's this? -Gosh.
I'll wear this and dance
in the middle of the town.
Goodness. Stop having such ridiculous thoughts
and come to your senses.
[mutters]
And hurry up and make lunch! I'm hungry.
Geez.
I can't believe that man!
How can I teach him a lesson?
[voice, in English] Round one. Fight!
[tapping keys]
[Chun Li grunting]
-Oh, oh. -Whoa.
Jeong-suk!
-Hello. -My goodness.
Come and have a seat for a second.
I have something to say.
Have a seat.
Okay.
All right. Here.
GEUNIL PHOTO STUDIO
My younger sibling opened a photo studio,
so you should visit.
If you drop my name, you'll get a big discount.
I plan to get a family portrait.
How about your family?
Excuse me?
Gosh, don't ask her that.
Her husband left the house a long time ago.
What? Why?
I believed her when she said that her husband was away to make money,
but I saw him looking for work in Geumje.
But he didn't visit his family.
I thought they'd get a divorce soon.
Don't run your mouth when you don't know the full story.
That's right. Min-ho's family always gets the worst rumors.
Don't add to them.
[landlord] I think I heard them arguing some time ago,
and Seong-su was nowhere to be seen.
Am I really mistaken?
Well,
the thing is…
-Yes, it's a misunderstanding. -A misunderstanding?
Yes. Well,
my husband is helping out a friend who's a truck driver.
He's staying at the place until he gets hired officially.
-I see. -I see.
Do you guys meet up then?
Of course. We met up yesterday too.
They don't have a problem, okay?
[Sun-ae] You should worry about your own marriage. [clicks tongue]
Why did I give such an excuse?
[clicks tongue]
What? Detective!
-Are you coming back from somewhere? -Yes, I had a meeting.
What brings you here?
I'm here to see you.
Me?
-What? -You left this in the car.
I see. That's where it was.
I was upset, thinking I lost it.
[sighs] I couldn't figure out when it had disappeared.
Things were so hectic yesterday.
Did the meeting go well?
Yes.
The surveys helped a lot.
There's a clear goal now,
so I need to get into action.
That's good to hear.
When you have a lot on your mind,
it's a good idea to focus on work and keep yourself busy.
Right.
Why…
[stammers] It just seemed like you had gone through a lot.
I see.
Okay.
You're right.
Keeping myself busy might be the answer.
Thank you so much for this.
[Do-hyeon] Okay.
Take care.
Okay. Thank you.
RESIDENT REGISTRATION CARD
All right.
Let's focus.
I understand the situation, but I think it'll be hard.
[sighs]
As you know,
my mom absolutely hates your work.
Still, I'd like to face it head-on.
I think it'll be a good idea to get to know her.
Do you think a gift will help?
The only thing my mom couldn't have was a handsome husband.
-What? -There's nothing she doesn't have.
I see.
Then what are her interests?
-Interests? -Yes.
I want to know what she's most interested in.
Well,
I guess there's one thing.
-Okay. -I'm not sure if it's the right term.
Someone else's misfortune.
"Someone else's"…
What?
I'm the epitome of misfortune. The moment I say I'm a single mom,
nine out of ten people look at me with pitying eyes.
Why don't I tell her the story of how I became a single mom?
Come on. Still,
you're a young woman with a profession.
I live in a tiny studio with a husband who can't earn 50,000 won a month,
I birthed a gaggle of children.
Only someone like me is entitled to talk about misfortune.
Don't you think I'm the most unfortunate one?
My husband cheated on me with my best friend
without a hint of remorse.
[recorded advertiser] Buy cucumbers, pumpkins, and perilla leaves.
Pumpkins, rice, and more!
[stammers, clears throat]
[chuckling] Here's the thing.
While it's true that we need to work hard for the success of the business,
I don't think you should reveal such a painful memory.
That's right, Jeong-suk.
A memory that's too painful should stay buried. [chuckles]
-[Yeong-bok] Mmm. -I agree.
I think the misfortune of a single mom would be adequate.
No, my misfortune is perfect.
Ms. Oh, go ahead and tell us.
Whose misfortune would be adequate?
[sighs] I don't know whose story she'll be more drawn to.
[sighs, chuckles]
Geum-hui. Geum-hui.
[Yeong-ja] You're making a big mistake.
I think I know.
The misfortune she'd be interested in.
[Ju-ri] Hmm?
-Come closer. -What?
[no audible dialogue]
You look so elegant.
Your skills are improving. [laughs]
Ms. Lee.
-My goodness. -[clears throat]
I didn't know you were here.
Are you here to get your hair done?
Please sit down for a moment.
No.
I wanted to talk to you since something upsetting happened.
I'll visit next time.
My goodness, could it be
that you fought with your husband again?
I'll come back another time. I don't want to make her uncomfortable.
Me?
-I'm fine. -Pardon?
It's not like only I can use this hair salon.
It's not like we're strangers.
I wouldn't be uncomfortable.
[sighs]
Gosh, my neck hurts.
Come and take a seat. Come.
What is it? Why did you fight?
He's very unsatisfied with my work.
He said many hurtful things to me.
Hurtful things?
Like what?
Exactly what hurtful things did he say?
I don't know.
They were quite vulgar.
What? My goodness.
Hold on.
"You're a graceless woman!"
Something like that?
"I've never seen a Jezebel like you!"
Was that what he said?
Did he use swear words?
Well, what he said was worse.
Worse?
Unbelievable! [laughs]
My goodness.
This is so much fun…
[clears throat]
You must have been upset.
To be honest, he shouldn't judge me for my work.
He had his fun thanks to it.
"His fun"? What do you mean?
Do you remember the first in-home sale you came to?
I bought a few pieces of lingerie.
Yes.
One day, I wore them out of curiosity,
and he ended up seeing them.
And?
From that moment,
he didn't seem like a person.
He was like a beast.
[gulps]
-A beast? -[gulps]
What did he do?
-That night… -[door opens]
-Go on. -Ju-ri.
We're here.
Hey. Did you have a good trip to the office?
Yes.
We just got some pieces of lingerie to sell.
There are only a few pieces since it's limited edition.
I think it'll be a good idea to sell them to the existing customers only.
All right.
Isn't it pretty?
Okay. Thank you.
Ms. Heo.
I'll get going now.
But you haven't finished your story!
You didn't get to the important bit.
Let's finish the conversation at my real estate agency.
-Right now? -Yes, I have time.
My goodness.
[no audible dialogue]
[whispers] Good luck.
Three times?
Three times? My goodness.
How is that possible in a single night?
That's what I'm saying.
But now he's throwing a fit, saying he doesn't want me to do it. [clicks tongue]
They say your mind isn't the same when you go in and out.
My goodness, in and out?
What a risqué proverb.
In any case, we fought since I was disappointed in his attitude.
I'm sorry, but I have to get going.
I need to prepare for the in-home sales.
Gosh, it suits you so well.
Wait a second.
Listen.
Uh…
Why don't I buy all of these?
What?
[stammers, chuckles]
You don't have to do--
It's okay.
As you know, I'm someone
who has no interest whatsoever in these things.
But you're going through so much.
I can't sit and watch as you struggle once more.
I'm quite softhearted. You know that, right?
[chuckles]
So tell me.
How much is the total?
How much should I give you?
You really don't have to do that.
No. Go ahead and tell me.
One, two…
[captain] What? Mm-hmm.
What's wrong with this?
Detective Kim, come here for a second.
I need to save the material for the meeting,
but I can't insert the floppy disk.
-Once you insert it here… -I did that.
…you need to pull down the lever.
-Now, you can save it. -[chuckles]
Gosh, I do that…
What? Detective Kim, you have a scar on your arm.
It looks like a burn scar.
It's nothing.
It's quite big.
Did you get injured while investigating?
Something like that.
It's nothing.
As for me,
I took on a group of delinquents all alone a few years ago
and bled profusely from my side.
I haven't shown it in a while.
Do you see it?
Do you? I got over eight stitches.
You took on a group of delinquents alone?
They were sixth graders.
He got scared and was backing away,
and that's when he crashed into a wall all on his own. [chuckles]
It was the end of the school year, so they were basically middle schoolers.
Of course.
That's something to brag about.
-I'll get going. -Okay.
PROTECTING GEUMJE LIVES AND SAFETY
[Do-hyeon] A fire?
Did she really say that?
Yes.
I asked because I was curious about a burn scar on a baby's body.
She told me that there was a big fire in the nearby neighborhood.
She picked up the baby that was all alone.
Didn't she look for the parents?
They could've been looking for him.
She said there was no one.
She asked us
to find him a nice family despite the scar.
You said the woman was in her 20s or 30s.
Could it be that she was my biological mother?
She left quickly before we had a chance to make a record.
And it happened so many years ago.
I'm sorry.
I just know that she was Catholic.
She was wearing a rosary ring.
A wooden one.
Is there anything else you remember?
I don't know.
Ah.
That woman had
a ticket to Geumje.
She used the regional dialect,
so I assumed that she was from Geumje.
Geumje?
BIOLOGICAL MOTHER: UNKNOWN
BABY'S LAST NAME IS DECIDED TO BE KIM
A BURN SCAR ON THE RIGHT ARM
PROTECTING GEUMJE LIVES AND SAFETY
[friends laughing] Did you sell everything? I can't believe it.
-Ms. Oh. -Ms. Oh, thank you for your hard work.
-[Yeong-bok] Seriously. -[Ju-ri] Cheers.
Everyone, thank you for working hard.
You did too, Jeong-suk.
I thought Ms. Oh's life was quite far from unfortunate,
-so such a strategy never occurred to me. -Mmm.
I thought the focus would be on the subject,
not the severity of the misfortune.
A conversation with Seo-yeon let me know that she had a lot of interest in you.
My goodness.
Listen to me.
If you think about it, the story you told
-was about fortune, not misfortune. -Hmm.
You may have sounded a bit dejected,
but you were actually bragging.
I didn't think that she'd fall for it.
-[laughing] -Seriously.
-There's something I want to know. -What is it?
Your story was quite realistic.
Did you make it up or is it based on your experience?
Mmm.
I don't know.
I can't say that I made up everything.
[squealing]
-[Yeong-bok] I knew it. Which part? -Which part?
JINHYANG HOF
I'm so full.
Thank you for the food.
Thank you.
What? They're so sensual.
I hope Ms. Heo from the real estate agency is having a sensual night as well.
I don't want to imagine it, but I hope so.
The slip dress really was hot.
Gosh, his hands are moving so busily.
Come on. That's how it is. No one will care.
They should get a room.
My goodness. They're getting a room.
-They're entering a motel. -Really?
Let's go.
[gasps]
That man!
What?
-He's Chairman Eom, right? -[gasping]
-He's Ms. Heo's husband. -[friends] Gosh.
-Really? -Really?
Why is he touching another woman on the street?
Didn't Ms. Heo wear that slip dress?
[Seo-yeon] She wore it.
Mom definitely wore it.
[humming]
[Chairman Eom] What's that nonsense?
Are you losing shame as you grow older?
I can't believe what I'm seeing.
You're crazy… For goodness' sake.
-For goodness' sake. -Why are you complaining? I bought it.
-[Chairman Eom exclaims] -Would you at least have a look?
How is he so heartless?
[Ju-ri] So you're saying
that your father left the house even after seeing her in the slip dress.
Yes.
[sighs] I guess he went to that woman afterward--
[sighs]
Mom knows that he's seeing someone these days.
It… It's happened before.
In any case, I thought that you should be aware of the situation.
Thank you, Seo-yeon.
Thank you.
I'll get going now.
-[Jeong-suk] I'll keep in touch. -Okay.
She'll return it since it didn't have the desired effect, right?
I think so.
Her husband made her angry,
so I hope she doesn't take it out on us.
Seriously.
[gasps]
That's the real estate agency.
-Let's take a detour. -Okay.
[Yeong-ja] Geum-hui!
What should we do? Should we run?
I think it's too late for that.
Goodness.
Come on. Why did you just walk past?
How could you make me run alone?
I'm sorry, Ms. Heo.
I'll cut to the chase.
It's about the product from yesterday.
Ms. Heo--
The effectiveness of that product was…
unbelievable.
Seriously. [chuckles]
You know, my husband
pestered me so much last night.
I couldn't sleep a wink.
[chuckling]
I was scared that my children would wake up.
How embarrassing!
[clears throat]
In any case, I experienced the effect of the product firsthand.
-[laughs] -I see.
-[Jeong-suk] Right. -[Yeong-bok chuckles]
I'm so glad that it was effective.
Yes. Right now,
I was chatting with the female members of the Royal Club.
When I explained it briefly over the phone,
they insisted on hearing it in person
and came to the real estate agency.
I see.
The Royal Club?
Yes.
If I want to talk about the long and passionate night,
I won't be able to eat dinner this evening. [laughing]
-Anyway, I'll get going now. -[Geum-hui] Ah.
See you later.
[Ju-ri] Bye.
Hmm? [gasps]
What was that?
We know for certain that Chairman Eom rejected Ms. Heo
and spent time with another woman.
Afterward, did he--
That's impossible.
She obviously came up with a lie.
She didn't need to do that.
[Yeong-bok] Seriously.
How pitiful.
We won't need to take a detour. Let's go.
I feel bad for her.
JACKPOT REAL ESTATE
-[Yeong-bok] Chairman Eom is a jerk. -He'll get in trouble if he gets caught.
[Yeong-bok] But she has an inkling.
I'm feeling bad for her for the first time.
[Yeong-ja] There are two pieces of clothing.
-Know how a slip dress with straps looks? -[club members] Ooh.
-It came with a soft gown. -[club members exclaiming] Aah.
-The set was quite nice and classy. -Ooh.
-[club member] My goodness. -That was why I couldn't sleep last night.
[club members laughing]
[person on TV] Look at the nighttime makeup that wench is wearing!
Hey.
Don't attack me.
-That vixen! -How's this nighttime makeup?
How could she run her mouth after wrecking a family?
-Look at that cake face of yours! -[scoffs]
Mom.
Yes?
Why didn't you get a divorce?
What?
You didn't finalize the divorce on paper
even though Dad did so many terrible things.
He did. [chuckles]
When I left the house, I wanted to cut off all dirty ties
and live as if those scumbags didn't exist in the world.
However,
I became scared of getting labeled as a divorced woman.
Because we lived separately,
all sorts of terrible rumors followed me, not your father.
I wondered what would happen if I actually ended the marriage.
I figured
that it wouldn't help you guys at all.
By the way, why do you ask?
Oh?
Well, just because.
You get mad at the drama,
so I wondered how you endured it in real life.
Min-ho's in the room, right?
What? I'm done with this sketchbook.
I need to draw something for homework this week.
A drawing?
Yes, I need to draw my family.
I… I'll buy you a new one.
Dong-u said he doesn't want to draw his family.
When he draws himself and his mom,
other kids ask him where his dad is. He finds it bothersome.
I think I'd feel the same. Don't you agree?
Here. Put the pencil case in your backpack.
-Mom. -Yes?
I need 10,000 won for The Art of Mathematics and a notebook.
10,000 won?
-See you later. -Have a good day!
Mom, I need 2,000 won for a compass and a protractor.
2,000 won?
-See you later! -[Yeong-bok] Bye!
Mom, I need 500 won for clay.
You too? Here.
Thank you.
Okay. Hold your sister's hand on your way.
Okay.
Goodness!
You startled me.
Honey, please give me 200 won for an ice pop.
Say, "Ma'am, please give me 200 won."
What? I can't do that.
Why not?
To me,
you'll never be a "ma'am."
You're a woman.
What's the point of a romantic line?
Your face belongs in a comical movie. [laughing]
What?
If you keep provoking me, it'll turn into an erotic movie.
Give me a break.
Honey, aren't you going to work today?
Stop it.
An in-home sale with the Royal Club has been scheduled,
so I need to go and get the products.
But Jeong-suk agreed to get my share in the afternoon
so I can look after the kids.
What a nice friend.
Seriously.
You should also find a friend who helps you in life.
Honestly speaking,
your only flaw is that you aren't successful.
You have a nice character.
But how is it that you don't have any decent friends--
[yelps, spits]
Why did you do that so suddenly?
Your lips looked so plump.
Seriously!
Plump, my foot!
I know you did that to avoid a scolding!
That was my intention at first.
But I don't want to stop anymore.
It's too early for this.
This is nothing new.
The older girls left, and Eun-ji is asleep.
Our mornings in this studio are hotter than other people's nights.
-Come here. -You must be insane.
-You're out of your mind. -[shushes] Come here.
-I can't believe you. -Come on.
-Hurry up. Come here. -Are you an animal?
-That's it. -Come on.
-My goodness.
["You are the Only One" playing]
[Yeong-bok] You must be insane. Seriously.
[song continues]
I think you look like a celebrity.
-A celebrity? -Yes.

It isn't the only song.
Why do you listen to it on repeat?
It was annoying all the same, but you used to sing different songs.
Well,
someone told me a few days ago
that I looked like Shim Shin.
I think the song suits me as well.
W-W-What? You look like whom?
-Shim Shin? -Yes.
Perhaps you misheard that person.
You don't think I look like him?
If someone told you that you looked like Shim Shin,
it must be one of the two.
Number one.
This person may have bad eyesight to the point of blindness.
What's the other one?
This person likes you.
They say that love is blind.
Me?
No way.
[phone ringing]
[clears throat] This is Wonbong Pharmacy.
Hey, Geum-hui.
Come home for lunch?
Okay. Shall I take Dae-geun with me?
[Geum-hui] No.
I want you to come alone.
There's something I need to tell you in private.
In private? What could it be?
Make sure you come alone, honey.
Hmm. [chuckles]
Honey!
Honey, I'm home!
Where are you? I'm home! Where… Where…
-You're home. -[panting] Yes.
[exclaims]
What?
Did you call me over in broad daylight to show me that?
I couldn't wait.
Hurry up and put it on. I'll go and wash up.
No.
It's for you.
Huh?
What do you mean?
You promised.
Did you forget?
What did I promise…
[gasps]
No way! Ms. Heo?
Yes. That's right.
Ms. Heo bought my products.
She also introduced my business to the Royal Club.
No way!
Did she get struck by lightning? How did she change so suddenly?
If you don't believe me, I can call her.
You don't need to do that. Hold on.
Do you really want me to…
[clamoring, laughing]
["Greedy Person" playing]
[shrieking]
I can't.
Hurry up and put it on.
You'll dance in this alone.
It'll be cold once the sun sets.
Honey, please.
I don't have much time.
[sighs]
[breathes shakily]
How are you feeling right now?
Ashamed.
And?
Regretful.
Don't forget that feeling.
If you take back your word again, I'll make you wear it for real!
[exclaims]
Does that mean I don't need to wear it?
[grunts]
I don't need to dance, do I?
Button up your shirt before I change my mind.
We'll eat out for lunch.
I made good money.
Lunch is on me today.
Honey, wait. I'm still buttoning up… Honey, wait.
Next up.
A fire that's believed to be arson broke out at a house
in Oksan, North Jeolla-do, to the locals' shock.
Because of this fire, Mr. Oh's family, who were in the house,
sustained serious injuries and are in a critical condition…
It's an arson case.
Detectives in charge will get quite a headache.
They won't be able to sleep.
Have you ever taken an arson case?
[Na] Yes.
No.
There hasn't been an arson case.
Geumje is famous for not having any incidents.
That's right.
Captain, wasn't there one when you were a rookie?
A serial arson case. Right?
If you were a rookie, then it must be at least 30 years ago.
That's right. There was such a case.
The fire wasn't what was important.
Quit yapping!
Clean this up.
[colleague] He didn't finish the food.
He seems very sensitive.
He must've struggled a lot because of that case.
It's still unsolved.
The arsonist never got caught?
I don't know if I should call it an arsonist or a kidnapper.
-Kidnapper? -Yes.
Someone set fire in the town
and kidnapped children amidst the chaos.
Only the newborns.

[baby screaming]
LUCKY STATIONERY
A drawing of the family?
-Be careful on the step, my lady. -Silly you.
Jeong-suk.
Hey, Jeong-suk.
I'll finally become a dad.
-What? -She received a checkup today.
It's been six weeks.
We bought a few baby supplies.
After eight years of struggle since the wedding,
a baby finally came to us.
My checkup results weren't very good,
so I had no expectations.
The doctor said that it was a miracle.
Honey.
Why are you sharing all the details?
What?
It isn't anyone else but Jeong-suk.
I'll go and bring the car.
What? Okay.
Congratulations.
After eight years of trying and failing,
you got pregnant miraculously.
I know what you're thinking,
but it's In-tae's baby. I'm certain.
So don't say anything.
Stirring up trouble won't be good for either one of us.
"Either one of us"?
[vehicle approaches]
[In-tae] Honey!
Hold on.
That's right.
In-tae and I waited eagerly for this baby.
You need to protect your family,
and I need to protect my family.
Isn't that right?
-[Min-ho] Yes. -[Seong-su] Good. This time,
they'll combine to protect the Earth!
Defender of the Universe, Voltron! Combine!
[imitating Voltron, whooshing]
The legs are complete.
[whooshing]
Oh, hey.
-Mom, Dad came to school to pick me up. -[chuckles]
Let's go.
Mom.
I was waiting for Min-ho with some snacks,
and Seong-su got back, holding Min-ho's hand.
-He picked up Min-ho from school. -[sighs]
I wanted to slap him across the face,
but Min-ho was there.
Don't let it show in front of Min-ho.
I'll take care of it.
Seong-su.
Let's talk.
Now?
Yes. Now.
I'll be right back.
Why did you come without a word?
Mom seemed quite flustered.
On my way back after an interview,
I picked Min-ho up since I missed him.
Why? Can't I come here?
I came to see my child in my house.
Why on earth are you so unashamed?
[scoffs] Unashamed, my foot.
Had I been unashamed,
I wouldn't have struggled outside the house.
You have no idea
how sad and miserable I felt
to leave the house.
[scoffs]
-What? -People get shocked when I tell them.
They say there's not a single man
who doesn't cheat in his life.
Do you actually mean that?
What I'm saying is this.
It wasn't a passionate relationship.
It happened only once.
It ended as a mistake. When will you stop talking about it?
What if it didn't end?
What are you saying?
Mi-hwa…
is pregnant.
How does that make you feel?
Why do my feelings matter? The baby must be In-tae's.
Even if it isn't, I don't care.
-You don't care? -No.
Min-ho is my only child.
You're my only woman.
Am I supposed to be moved?
Jeong-suk.
Let's stop.
You should know how to cover up a mistake and move on.
Aggravating me in a fit of temper isn't a wise move.
If our marriage really ends, what about Min-ho's life?
What?
Remember how my mom said that you were strangely depressive
because you were raised under a single mom?
What will you do if you pass down the same fate to Min-ho?
What are you…
Hey, Han Jeong-suk!
I'll leave for today.
Think this through.
Do you think it's okay to hurt Min-ho when he's the happiest by his dad's side?
[breathes shakily]
Mom, where's Dad?
Uh, Min-ho.
Dad had to leave in a hurry because something came up.
Without saying goodbye to me?
He'll come back soon to see you.
[whimpering] He said he'd leave after putting me to bed.
He promised.
[whimpers]
Min-ho, don't cry.
Did you finish preparing for school tomorrow?
No.
I need to finish coloring the drawing.
Get to it.
By the way, Mom,
we can live with Dad from now on, right?
What?
Dad told me
that he can find work in Geumje. [sniffles]
We can live with Dad
once he finds work in Geumje, right?
You should go inside and do your homework, young man.
-The night will end at this rate. Mmm. -Okay.
Mom.
Can I go outside and get some air?
Okay.
Take a stroll around the town.
You must feel terrible.
I'll be right back. [sniffles]
My goodness.
-I'm sorry. -No, it's okay.
Sorry.
Are you okay?
I told you to look where you were going.
[footsteps approaching]
[Do-hyeon sighs]
Are you okay?
You seem very drunk.
I've been looking for something for many years.
That was why I came to this town.
For over ten years, I've chased after it thinking that it was the answer.
But I learned an entirely different truth.
Now, my investigation will need to take a new direction.
I don't know if it's right.
I'm lost.
I feel the same.
I've lived my entire life, only caring about my family.
But something I'd never imagined happened.
Now, it's time to make up my mind.
But I don't know…
which path
will make my child happy.
Did you ask him?
The path that'll make him happy.
Instead of taking a guess…
you should ask your child.
Even if it's painful, you'll have fewer regrets.
At least you can ask.
Min-ho.
It's when we went on a picnic to Lake Soyang.
Yes.
MY FAMILY
Min-ho.
When are you the happiest?
Is it when our family is together like this?
Yes.
We're happy when we're together.
When Dad smiled, you smiled.
When you smiled, I smiled.
I read it in a children's book.
"A happy person makes another happy person."
-[Seong-su] Whoo! -Whoo!
[chuckles] Try it.
-[grunts] -[laughs]
Watch.
Hold it like you're holding a hook.
Make it parallel to the water…
[whooshes] …and throw it like this.
-Understood? -Mmm.
-[Min-ho] Ah. -[water splashing]
[cheers]
-[cheers] -[laughs]
Mom, did you see it?
If you practice a bit more, you'll make it skip three times.
I'll make it happen today.
-Here. Keep practicing. -Okay.
Thank you.
I know that it wasn't easy.
It wasn't easy,
but I think this is the right choice.
We had so much fun when we came here last time.
Remember?
Min-ho told me
that your smile made me smile,
and my smile made him smile.
He read in a children's book
that a happy person makes another happy person.
However,
I think unhappiness seeps in faster.
Since the day I saw you and Mi-hwa together…
I haven't smiled from my heart.
We can smile from now on.
Now…
I find your smile disgusting.
What?
If I'm unhappy, Min-ho will feel it.
I can't let that happen.
What are you doing?
I thought you'd changed your mind.
Did you plan this to say this shit?
Are you insane?
I want you to feel pain.
What?
I want you to remember
the things you've lost and feel pain for years to come.
Hey, Han Jeong-suk.
Now…
get lost from my life.
Let's get a divorce.
A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
Is there anything we can do for her?
Shall we introduce her to a man?
They say you heal the wounds of past love with new love.
Oh.
Would you come to my place tomorrow?
What?
[Dong-u] Isn't that police officer a bit scary?
[Min-ho, Dong-u exclaiming]
He's a bit scary since he doesn't say much
and is expressionless.
I have an in-home sale scheduled for tomorrow, but something came up.
I wondered if you could go instead.
[Geum-hui] Let's work and get some fresh air as if we're on a trip.
We'll be able to refresh ourselves.
We're from Fantasy Lingerie.
-[worker] Hey! -Let go of me!
No!
Oh, no!
Would it be okay to ask who you're looking for in this town?
[Jeong-suk] She might be able to help.
