A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
[sighs] Says who?
[chuckling] My mom told me.
Jeong-suk, your dad got himself a mistress
and kicked you and your mom out.
-We didn't get kicked out! -[bullies chuckling]
-[thuds] -[screams]
[groans, hisses]
[groaning]
Hey, Kwon Seong-su! What do you think you're doing?
You'd better not mock Jeong-suk again.
I'll knock out three teeth with one punch!
[bullies whimper]
Let's go.
[Jeong-suk] I was comfortable with the sadness I didn't have to explain.
[thunder rumbling]
[schoolchildren screaming]
[Jeong-suk] He was always on edge,
but he was gentle toward me, and I liked it.
I felt like I'd be able to laugh off any hardships if we were together.
Back then,
what brought me happiness was…
[Jeong-suk, Seong-su] ♪ Happy birthday, dear Min-ho ♪
[Jeong-suk] …being together and nothing else.
[Jeong-suk, Seong-su] Whoo!
[Jeong-suk] I've never imagined an end like this.
DIVORCE BY MUTUAL CONSENT
KWON SEONG-SU, HAN JEONG-SUK
[Seong-su] How does it feel?
Are you ecstatic?
[Seong-su sighs]
Even though we have a child together,
you seemed hell-bent on getting a divorce, so I signed it.
I'm certain that you'll regret it.
What?
You may not know now,
but being without a husband isn't as easy as you think.
That's why your mother didn't finalize her divorce
despite suffering many heartaches.
She said she regrets it.
-What? -She regrets not ending the marriage.
I won't repeat her mistake.
Fine, let's see what an amazing life you'll have.
Cooperate whenever I want to see Min-ho.
That was the only reason why I gave you custody.
[Jeong-suk] But one thing is certain.
Now…
I won't look back.
Jeong-suk must be so upset.
[Geum-hui sighs] Is there anything we can do for her?
[clicks tongue] Perhaps a gift will console her.
Shall we introduce her to a man?
They say you heal the wounds of past love with new love.
She got a divorce this morning.
Do you think she'll be happy
if we introduce her to a man?
How is it any different than feeding meat to someone with sudden indigestion?
-I was just saying. -Okay.
No gift will console her in this situation.
Only time will help.
She should see nice things and eat nice food while she takes a rest.
You're right.
It'd be nice if she could go on a trip to get some fresh air.
I don't think she will be able to do that.
We should just help her so that she's not too stressed at work.
All right. Let's work harder to relieve Jeong-suk's burden.
Okay.
Ah. Didn't the director want to talk about something today?
That's right. That was why we met up.
We must be running late.
We were going to go and update Jeong-suk afterward.
-Gosh, let's go. -[Yeong-bok] We're running late.
-Thanks for the coffee. -Bye.
[sighs]
I feel anxious.
FANTASY LINGERIE CONFIDENT WOMEN'S FIRST STEP
Ah, you're here.
Jeong-suk, when did you get here? You must be upset.
-Yeah. -[Yeong-bok] Seriously.
-We could've updated you afterward. -That's right.
I need to do my best to earn money. I've already lost a lot of time.
[Ms. Park] Uh, is everyone here?
I called you guys over to ask for a favor.
I have an in-home sale scheduled for tomorrow, but something came up.
I wondered if you could go instead.
[Jeong-suk, Yeong-bok] Uh…
If we go instead, how will the profits be divided?
Of course, the people who made the profits will take them.
-[chuckles] -Where is it?
It's an island in Gyeongsang-do called Gyesim-do.
-Oh. -[gasps]
It'll take four hours to get there.
Yes. It'll be an overnight trip at the very least.
-[both gasp] -[phone rings]
-Please excuse me. -Okay.
An overnight trip is a bit too sudden. [chuckles]
Well, I still think
it'll be nice to go.
It's hard to get opportunities to sell the products.
We just need to go and make sales, so I think it's an important opportunity.
[Yeong-bok] Hmm.
That's right, Yeong-bok. Let's go together.
Let's work and get some fresh air as if we're on a trip.
We'll be able to refresh ourselves.
I see. Okay then.
I don't know how to feel about it,
but I have a jobless husband to look after the kids.
That's good to hear.
Let's go to Gyesim-do.
[chuckles] We're going to an island!
[copier whirs]
Oh.
GEUMJE LIBRARY
[Seong-su] An island?
Yes. I'm going to Gyesim-do tomorrow to sell products.
It's my first time going there, so I want to gather information.
-Oh. -What brings you here?
There's a document I wanted to check.
By the way,
would you come to my place tomorrow?
What?
You said that you were looking for something in the town.
My mom has lived in the town for over 30 years.
She might be able to help.
Oh, that.
She wanted to repay you for finding Min-ho.
Feel free to stop by.
Mmm. Ah, I'll see you later, then.
GYESIM-DO
WONBONG PHARMACY
Oh, hello.
It looks like you're going somewhere.
I was going to visit the hair salon for a haircut.
Oh, I see. The thing is, I'm going to the countryside for in-home sales.
I'll come back tomorrow afternoon. Can you come tomorrow?
Of course, I can.
Then make sure you come tomorrow!
-[chuckling] Okay. -[chuckles]
She looks like Kim Wan-sun today.
If you're done sweeping, go back inside.
Mr. Choi.
If Kim Wan-sun and Shim Shin date, they'll be the couple of the century, right?
Are Kim Wan-sun and Shim Shin dating?
Not yet.
[chuckles] But I think it'll happen soon.
Was there news on Entertainment Weekly?
Not Kim Wan-sun!
Hey, doesn't Kim Wan-sun look better with Park Nam-jung?
TICKET OFFICE
Guys!
There you are.
-She's here. You look so pretty. -[Ju-ri squeals]
[stammers] What's this?
-Music is a must on the beach. -I see.
[both] ♪ Where the stars shine ♪
♪ Let's go to the beach ♪
-♪ Where the youth overflows ♪ -Excuse me, Yeong-bok.
-Ju-ri. -Yes?
I get the excitement but don't forget what's important.
-Right. -Right.
There's work to be done,
but this is primarily a chance to refresh Jeong-suk's mind after the big change.
-Yes. -Yes.
So let me ask you for a favor.
To keep Jeong-suk from having any depressing thoughts…
-[Yeong-bok] Mmm. -…don't mention marriage at all.
In particular, don't mention husbands.
-[Ju-ri] Mmm. -I understand. Mmm.
I don't have a husband, so you don't need to worry.
-That's right. -Yeah.
Oh, there she comes. [chuckles]
-[Yeong-bok] Hey! -[Geum-hui] Come on.
-[Geum-hui] Jeong-suk! -I'm sorry I'm late.
-I'm sorry. -No, we just got here.
-Okay. -Let's go. Shall I carry your bag?
You don't need to. [chuckles]
-This top is so pretty. -[Ju-ri chuckling]
You look pretty too. Shall we?
-[Yeong-bok] Okay. Let's go. -[Geum-hui] You look so pretty today.
Help yourself.
Okay.
[sighs]
-Thank you for the drink. -[chuckles]
[stammers] I heard that there is something you wanted to ask me.
Feel free to ask me anything.
I heard that you've lived in this town for over 30 years.
That's right.
I've lived here since before Jeong-suk was born,
so it must have been about 35 years.
I heard there was a fire near the town about 30 years ago.
Do you remember anything about it?
A fire?
Yes, there were fires on regular houses every several months.
Back then, we lived in houses with thatched roofs
and burned firewood in furnaces.
[chuckling] So fires were quite frequent.
-I see. -[phone ringing]
Please excuse me.
Hello, there.
What? Is he badly injured?
Why didn't you call me sooner?
Okay. [stammers] Where is he?
Don't worry. You take care of yourself, okay?
Okay.
-[panting] Gosh, I can't believe it. -Did something happen?
[huffs, stammers] My son runs a business at the market.
He injured his leg in a car accident
-and was admitted to a hospital. -[sighs]
My daughter-in-law gave birth not too long ago,
[stammers] so I'll have to go to the hospital. [pants]
But I can't go with Min-ho.
[stammers] Jeong-suk said that she'd leave early tomorrow morning,
so I just need someone to babysit him for tonight.
But I have no one to ask on such short notice. [whimpers]
[stammers] Well…
[stammers] Sir.
I…
-Hello. -Hello.
-[Jeong-suk] Hello. -[Ji-ru] Hello.
-[Geum-hui chuckles] -We're from Fantasy Lingerie.
Is this the president of the Women's Club's place?
-Yes, it is. -[Jeong-suk] I see.
[all] Hello.
See? They came. Let's sit down and listen before we go.
We need to hurry and go before the next tidal wave.
Hurry up and come on out.
Hurry up.
[Jeong-suk] Uh. [chuckles]
-Uh. Um, uh, excuse me. -[Ju-ri] But…
I'm sorry.
We set up an appointment with you,
but the president of the Women's Club just won't cooperate. [clicks tongue]
In that case,
you can listen to us during your break from work.
We'll help.
-Ah, that's right. -We can do a good job.
-[all chuckle] -I'm so sorry.
-[Yeong-bok] It's okay. -[Geum-hui] Don't worry about it.
-[worker] No. -[clamors]
Honestly, no pressure.
No, this isn't the right direction.
The work clothes are over there, so go ahead and change.
You can't work in those clothes. [chuckles]
[all] I see.
-Okay. -[Geum-hui] Sure.
-We'll hurry up and change. -[Jeong-suk] Yes.
-[Yeong-bok] Hurry up and change. -[Ju-ri] We'll do that.
[worker] Your skirt is short.
[Min-ho] Transformation!
Supernova Flashman! Transformation complete!
Let's go!
Hyah!
Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!
Hyah.
Hold on.
What's wrong? Do you have a stomachache?
No. I'm…
What's wrong?
I'm hungry.
If it isn't too much trouble, could you get me some food?
That's right!
Mom told me that she made the batter for chives pancake.
All right. I'll go and make it.
Keep playing. Hyah-hyah.
Yes! Chives pancake!
It got burned a bit because it was my first time making it.
What?
It didn't get burned a bit, but it's almost--
What matters is the taste.
[sighs]
How interesting.
What? Does it taste okay?
No.
The outside is completely burnt, but the inside is uncooked.
It's so interesting.
You're right.
These are precious chives. What a waste.
[Do-hyeon sighs]
[sighs]
[clicks tongue]
Where's the telephone book?
Over there.
CHIVES MIN-HO AND MOM PLANTED TOGETHER
[chuckles]
They're actually precious.
Hey, isn't that police officer a bit scary?
It's obvious he was forced to look after us.
He's a bit scary
since he doesn't say much and is expressionless.
[Min-ho's friend] My thoughts exactly.
-[clears throat] -[stammers]
Shall we play a round of gonggi?
That's a good idea, my friend. [chuckles]
-[Min-ho chuckles] -[chuckles]
May I play gonggi with you guys?
You?
Yes. But I don't know the rules very well because it's my first time playing.
I'll give it a try if you guys explain them to me.
This is how you do it.
-There are levels one to five. -Yes.
Pick up one for level one, two for level two,
three for level three…
-Oh. [chuckles] -…and so on and so forth.
It's easy.
Fail!
You said using the piano skill is cheating.
[groans]
[chuckles] It's your turn.
Fail. Moving from your seat is cheating.
Right?
Most people let it go.
[chuckling] I don't.
Here I go.
You're really good.
You're seriously cool.
Twenty-four-year old.
[groans] Did you win again?
[in English] Yes. [in Korean] Hundred and twenty years old.
-I want to stop playing. -Me too.
Let's go and play ddakji with the kids.
Okay.
Why? I'm having fun here.
Hey.
Gosh, you'll catch all the clams on Gyesim-do.
You should take it easy.
We should fill the basket quickly so we have time to introduce the products.
The scenery is so good that I don't feel tired at all.
[sighs] That's right. The scenery is nice indeed.
[sighs] It's quiet and tranquil.
I feel at peace.
[all] Mmm.
-[worker] Hey! -[Yeong-bok] That startled me.
[president] What nonsense are you spouting?
Why are you saying that my daughter is full of herself?
My daughter, Mi-yeong filmed a commercial for Thirsty Hippo.
Gosh, wasn't Kim Hye-soo in the commercial?
Did Mi-yeong take Kim Hye-soo's place?
[president] Kim Hye-soo?
No, she put on a hippo costume and stood next to Kim Hye-soo.
[worker] Still, being on TV is a feat.
[president] It's just…
Shouldn't you break off the fight?
No. This happened when I tried to break it off last week.
Do they fight often?
The president's son
and that woman's daughter, Mi-yeong, were engaged.
But Mi-yeong moved to the city to become an actor
and broke off the engagement.
[worker 2] The two of them used to be so close.
Now, they're the worst enemies.
They fight all the time.
Could it be that the president rejected us on purpose?
-She invited us here. -[worker] You still hold a grudge…
…because Mi-yeong rejected your son, right?
-Nonsense! I thank the heavens! -I bet she does.
-[Ju-ri scoffs] -Oh, my goodness.
…promiscuous since childhood. Let's see if she can find a nice man!
What did you say?
You think she can't find a nice man?
How dare you speak ill of my daughter?
-[Ju-ri] My goodness. -Gosh.
Do you have a death wish?
-Hey! -[worker] Let go of me!
Let go!
[clamoring]
[clamoring continues]
[all screaming]
[screaming]
Ms. Oh! What should I do?
Oh, no. Ms. Oh, are you okay?
-Help me up. -[Jeong-suk] Oh, no.
-Help me up. -[Jeong-suk] My goodness!
-[Yeong-bok] Gosh. -[worker] Let go of me.
Let go of me. Move out of the way.
Damn you! Eat this!
What's this?
-Come over here! -[fighters clamoring, screaming]
Gosh, it's cold!
[Jeong-suk] You're stuck. What should we do?
-Hold on. -Shall I pull it out? One, two…
-[Geum-hui] It's too small! -[worker screams]
-It's too cold! -[Ju-ri] Yeong-bok!
-It's too cold! -[Ju-ri] Hey!
-Help me. -[Jeong-suk] One, two, three.
[both grunting]
It came off, Ms. Oh.
-My goodness. -[Jeong-suk] Oh, no. Are you okay?
-I'm not okay. -[Jeong-suk] Oh, no.
You brat, stop already!
You started it first!
[clamoring, screaming]
You're the one who started it.
I can't believe these crazy women!
-[worker, president scream] -I give up.
[Geum-hui] What's wrong with them?
Please stop! Stop it already!
Stop it!
Hold on. That's… No.
Oh, no. What?
[clamoring, grunting]
-Oh, no. -No!
[audio fades]
[thudding]
[sighs] I don't think we can sell these.
[sighs] Of course we can't.
[groans] How much money did we lose?
Why are you glaring at me?
Because it's your fault.
If you have a conscience, you should pay for the products.
Why would I do that?
It's their fault for bringing them to the mudflat.
I can't believe her!
Ju-ri, calm down.
Forget it. I'm sick and tired of Gyesim-do.
Let's dry them and leave.
-Okay. -[Ju-ri sighs]
-That's good enough. -Okay.
[sighs]
What are you looking at? Go prepare dinner.
-[all] All right. -[worker 2] Okay.
My goodness.
What? I thought you guys only sold strange items.
Do you guys sell cosmetic products too?
Is that so?
I was out of facial cream.
[Geum-hui] That…
-isn't for your face. -[both] Huh?
Then what is it for?
[grunts]
Vagina.
-[stammers] Vagina? -I see. Vagina.
Vagina?
Did she really say,
"vagina"?
What are you looking at?
Watch where you look!
When you're doing it,
this cream eliminates the pain that comes from the friction.
Especially during menopause, your estrogen levels drop,
and your vagina becomes dry. That's why this cream helps.
[worker 3] Oh.
So there was a reason behind the dryness.
[worker 2] Seriously.
By the way, does it really help?
Of course.
If you're curious, we can give a detailed explanation.
There are materials we prepared.
I think it'd be nice
if you listened to the explanation comfortably during dinner.
That's right.
Their products got ruined because of you.
If you can't pay for the damage, at least listen to them!
I'm so sick of your complaints.
Fine.
You keep pestering me,
so I'll listen to them and get this over with.
Go ahead.
-Go ahead and explain everything. -My goodness.
-Okay. -[Geum-hui] Please wait.
-Jeong-suk, what are you doing? -[clamoring]
[Mi-hwa] Dong-u.
We need to go to the bathhouse. Come on.
Man, I don't want to take a bath.
Kwon Min-ho, cheer up.
-See you tomorrow. -See you tomorrow.
-Bye. -Bye.
Hurry up.
All right.
[in English] Yes!
[in Korean] Hey, did your mom and dad really get a divorce?
[Min-ho] What?
Yes.
Aren't you sad?
I'd keep crying.
Mom and Dad told me that they love me all the same
even though they don't live together.
[scoffs] Don't pretend to be okay.
Aren't you the one who isn't okay?
You're picking a fight because you're mad you lost your ddakji to me.
[child] How dare you?
-Hey! -[child] What?
Call your mom if you're mad.
I'll call both my mom and dad.
Right.
Your mom's gone away to work.
That means no one is on your side.
-[Do-hyeon] I am. -Huh?
Police officer.
Police?
[child] Mister, how do you know him?
Since I haven't seen you before, you can't be a relative.
What about you?
Since you're bullying him, you can't be a friend.
I didn't bully him.
Let's go.
Okay.
[sighs]
[snorts]
[Min-ho] Isn't Mom pretty?
Yes.
Huh?
She won an award because she was the prettiest woman in Geumje.
I see.
You must be proud.
I see you're handsome because you take after your mom.
[chuckles]
-[Do-hyeon] Let's go. -Okay.
[Do-hyeon] Lie down.
I'll turn off the light.
Would you turn that on?
Okay.
You also sleep with a lamp on.
Yes. Mom turns on the lamp and reads me a book.
[stammers] I wasn't asking you to read me a book.
[grunting]
Thank you, mister.
If it weren't for you earlier,
it would have become a bigger fight.
[sighs]
-Were you scared? -No, I wasn't.
Had the fight turned bigger, Mom would have found out.
Finding out the reason behind the fight
would have made her sad.
I don't want Mom to be sad anymore.
Speaking of that,
would you keep today's incident a secret?
Okay, I'll do that.
"Once upon a time, deep in the sea,
there was a beautiful castle.
It was an amazing castle that was made
of conches, pearls, and corals."
-[Ju-ri yelps] Jeong-suk! -[Geum-hui] Jeong-suk! [chuckles]
Ah. [chuckles]
What are you doing alone?
I was looking at the sea. [chuckles]
Come on. We like the sea too.
-We should enjoy it together. -[chuckles]
That's right. And they say
-you shouldn't enjoy the sea sober. -Oh.
-Is there such a saying? -Isn't there?
I don't care either way. I'm going to drink myself to death.
-[Yeong-bok, Ju-ri, Jeong-suk chuckle] -[Ju-ri] Let's go.
-[Yeong-bok] Jeong-suk, I'll save you. -[Ju-ri chuckling] No!
-[Geum-hui] Mmm. -[Yeong-bok] It's really good.
Ah.
-[smacks lips] -[Ju-ri] Ooh. [gasps]
-Jeong-suk, you're drinking a lot today. -[Jeong-suk chuckles]
-Today drinks taste sweet. -[Ju-ri, Yeong-bok chuckle]
It must be because the work went well and you're feeling at ease.
[chuckles]
I was so upset earlier.
We almost lost a chance to make money and got our products dirty at the mudflat.
-[Jeong-suk, Geum-hui sigh] -Thank goodness they warmed up to us.
-Seriously. -That's right.
Uh, to celebrate the occasion,
we should open up as well
and play Truth or Dare.
-There was something I wanted to know. -What is it?
What kind of sex do you want to have?
What do you think will turn you on?
[Ju-ri, Jeong-suk chuckle]
Are you asking us about the sex fantasy from the survey?
Bingo.
We keep telling people to be honest,
but we should be honest first.
What's the desire in your heart?
[Ju-ri giggles]
I do have one.
-Gosh, what is it? -[Yeong-bok giggles]
-Come on. -I can't tell you.
[Ju-ri exclaiming]
-I can't tell you! -Come on.
Oh, goodness.
Come closer.
[whispers] You know,
I want to try doing it in the car.
[Yeong-bok giggles]
-The car? -Yes.
In the car?
Ms. Oh, owning a car is a symbol of wealth.
People like me can't dream of it.
That must be why I want to do it.
In a movie I watched,
a couple did it in a car.
-What movie was it? [giggles] -[Yeong-bok laughs]
If I do it in my car,
how good would it feel? I would love to know.
[laughs]
[Yeong-bok] Hurry up.
Take off your clothes.
Yeong-bok!
Why am I so embarrassed when I didn't even do it?
[all giggling, exclaiming]
[Yeong-bok] It's not like I did it!
-Yeong-bok! -Hurry up and tell me yours.
What's yours?
-As for me… -[Yeong-bok] Okay.
…the location doesn't matter.
It might be because I'm self-conscious about being uneducated.
I want to sleep with an intelligent man
in an intelligent atmosphere.
-Intelligent? -What kind of an atmosphere is that?
Well…
In any case, I want him to talk about smart-sounding things.
I want him to speak English well. I want to do it with that kind of guy.
I see.
Would it be something like this?
What?
-Honey. -Yes?
How long will you keep kissing me?
I'll get a rash at this rate.
Ju-ri.
[in English] Joy's soul lies in the doing.
[in Korean] Have you heard that the essence of joy is in the process?
Is there such a saying?
Who said it?
Shakespeare.
Sexspeare?
[giggles]
I don't know who it is, but the name sounds erotic.
He's not Sexspeare,
but the world-renowned playwright, William Shakespeare.
Oh!
I know who he is.
It was a joke.
You should pronounce it as "joke."
Say, "joke."
-Joke. -Joke.
Put more accent on the J. Joke.
-Joke. -Joke.
Come on! I'm not that stupid!
She's that stupid.
-You're so mean. -[Yeong-bok laughs]
I was playing around.
[Yeong-bok] Ms. Oh, it's your turn.
We can't skip you. What's yours?
-Me? -Yes.
What is it?
I don't know.
Hmm. I briefly entertained the idea
of doing it like the actress in a movie I recently watched.
-[Geum-hui giggles] -What kind of a movie was it?
Well…
[Won-bong] Understood.
This way, please.
INTERVIEW ROOM
No smoking in the interview room.
What are you going to do, charge me with smoking?
What was your relationship with Kim Sam-cheol?
I had intercourse with him on the odd occasion.
I liked doing it with him.
He wasn't afraid of experimenting.
I like men like that. Men who give me pleasure.
[gulps]
In that case,
why did you kill Kim Sam-cheol?
Kill him?
I may have pleased him to death…
but I didn't kill him.
You're lying!
We have evidence right here!
[sighs]
[coughs]
[all exclaim, giggle]
Changing legs like this?
-Ms. Oh. -[Yeong-bok] No.
Ms. Oh.
I just wanted to create a risqué atmosphere like that.
-Jeong-suk. -Yes?
What's your fantasy?
What is it?
Well, as for me… [chuckles]
-I don't have one. -Come on.
-Jeong-suk. -What's wrong with you?
Hmm.
My ex-husband didn't like it
when a woman was assertive in the bedroom.
So I became used to going along with what he did.
Now, I plan to think about what I want.
You can take your time and think about it.
You think I would say that?
Forget it!
If you don't have an idea, pick one of ours.
-Hurry up. -That's right.
We can't be the only ones to reveal.
Number one, car sex.
Number two, intelligent sex.
Number three, risqué sex.
-She's drunk. -[all laugh]
Among them, what's your choice?
I think the best one is this.
[all laughing]
Number three.
I see that Jeong-suk is a fan of risqué sex.
-A fan? -Seriously.
That's right.
You're so dirty, so you have a desire to toy with men.
-Ju-ri. -That makes sense.
With this face and body, she can be the femme fatale.
-Of course. -That's right.
Sure. You're right.
I want to become the femme fatale and toy with men now.
-You can do it. -You can. That's right.
-You can do anything. -That's right.
-Do everything you want to do! -Yes.
-[Ju-ri] Femme fatale! -[Yeong-suk] Femme fatale!
[Geum-hui] Femme fatale!
[Yeong-bok] I'm in a good mood today.
[Ju-ri] The drink tastes sweet.
THE LITTLE MERMAID
[Min-ho] Yes! Three more years!
[Dong-u] I'm on a roll today.
-Don't you think? -[Min-ho] Yes.
[Gong-u] I'm so jealous.
[Min-ho] You can't use the piano skill.
Welcome, Ms. Han.
What are you doing here?
The thing is… Hold on.
Mister, you failed.
Fail. Give me the stones.
I couldn't help it. Would you give me one more chance?
Forget it.
Hurry up and give them.
-Give us the stones. -Give us the stones.
[chuckles]
All right. Have a good day.
[sighs]
Honey.
You're back. That's too--
Ms. Oh.
-You're back. -Yes.
-I'll carry your bag. -Okay.
[chuckles]
Hey.
Hey!
Yes?
Why are you so happy to see my wife?
She came back safely with her coworkers.
So of course I'm happy to see her.
Why are you smiling?
Mr. Choi, if it isn't too much trouble,
may I get off work early today?
It's too much trouble,
so don't say such nonsense.
He'll be off work soon anyway.
-Go ahead. -Huh?
-Go ahead. -Thank you, Ms. Oh.
Hey!
Hey! That little…
-Does Dae-geun have a crush on someone? -Huh?
He had the eyes of someone in love.
The eyes of someone in love?
He had the eyes of someone who has a screw loose.
CHARMING HAIR SALON
[Ju-ri] Welcome.
Please sit down and wait.
Okay.
[customer snores]
[chuckles] What do you think?
My goodness.
You said you'd improve my looks since I resembled Chow Yun-fat.
-And you turned me into Chow Yun-fat! -[Ju-ri laughs]
[Ju-ri] Right?
I told you that you resembled him.
My goodness. [laughs]
Wow. How much is it?
-It's 4,000 won. -4,000 won.
[in Chinese] Yi, èr, san, sì.
-[customer laughs] -[Ju-ri gasps]
-Xièxie. -Xiè… It means "Thank you," right?
[in Korean] I was going to go straight home, but I should order a coffee.
-Thank you. -Okay. Take care.
Okay.
-Please take a seat. -Okay.
[Ju-ri sighs]
What kind of style would you like?
Well, I want…
You told me that I looked like a certain celebrity.
I want his hairstyle.
Right.
Which celebrity was it?
What?
Oh.
You told me that I resembled him a lot.
Can't you remember by looking at my face?
-He's a singer. -A singer.
-His last name is Shim. -Shim.
I know!
Shim Soo-bong!
That can't be right. She's a woman.
I'm afraid that…
I don't exactly remember.
Shim…
-Shim… -Forget it.
[sighs]
What's up with him?
-Mom, did you have good in-home sales? -Yes.
-Mr. Shim Shin actually came. -What?
At the pharmacy,
you told him that he looked like Shim Shin.
I remember because it was absolutely ridiculous.
[gasps] That's right. It was Shim Shin.
Gosh. Okay, Mom.
Let's talk tomorrow. Okay.
How's Uncle?
He's okay. He's recovering well.
I'm glad to hear that.
Yes.
I'm so sorry.
I asked you to come because I wanted to help.
But I ended up inconveniencing you.
It's okay.
It was my first time babysitting,
so Min-ho and Dong-u struggled more.
I'll get going now.
-Okay. Say goodbye. -Let's play again next time.
That's right. Would you like some clams?
I got them at the island I visited.
They're quite fresh.
They're tasty in stew and kalguksu. Hmm?
Hmm?
[inaudible whispers]
What was that?
He cannot cook.
Just cook for him.
Or…
We're going to make kalguksu.
Would you like to eat with us?
Oh, kalguksu.
Eat before you go, mister.
[chuckles]
-[Do-hyeon] That's enough. -Okay.
-Thank you for the food. -No worries.
Mister, isn't Mom a good cook?
Isn't she the best?
[Jeong-suk chuckles]
Min-ho, there are many people who can cook better than me.
Really?
Is your mom a better cook than my mom?
No.
See? You're better.
[Jeong-suk, Do-hyeon chuckle]
All right.
Hurry up and eat. Your food will go cold.
Okay.
Eat up.
[Jeong-Suk] Here's another one.
Eat slowly.
You should go back.
You don't have to see me off.
I need to get colored foam sticks for Min-ho's class tomorrow.
I see.
[Jeong-suk chuckles]
You probably didn't talk to my mom enough because of the chaos.
I'll talk to her once she comes back.
To be honest, I regretted it the next day.
I told you things you didn't need to hear.
But it didn't really make me feel uncomfortable,
even though we aren't close at all.
It's probably because we aren't close.
I felt the same.
"Am I worrying this person?"
"Then this person will try to console me."
Because I didn't have such worries, I could be more open and honest.
How should I put it?
You're like a stranger who's more comfortable than my friends.
"A stranger who's more comfortable than your friends."
You might be right.
Would it be okay to ask
who you're looking for in this town?
It's okay. If it's too personal, you don't need to tell me.
My mother.
[sighs]
I was adopted in the US when I was little.
I have no information about my birth parents.
Geumje was my only lead,
so I came here.
I see.
That was why.
You don't need to worry or console me.
I told you
because you were a stranger who was more comfortable than my friends.
Mom, am I handsome?
-What? -Mister said that you were pretty.
He said I'm handsome because I take after you.
I see.
Mister read me that book.
Did he read you a book?
Yes.
When I told him that you read me a book before bedtime,
he read that book for me.
I see. How kind of him.
I guess his mom never read him a book.
He told me that he was jealous
because I could go to bed every night while listening to my mom's voice.
[sighs]
That isn't enough.
Captain, wasn't there one when you were a rookie?
A serial arson case. Right?
There was such a case.
The fire wasn't what was important.
[sighs]
GEUMJE POLICE STATION
[Na] Gosh, I'm aching all over.
Captain doesn't have the stamina anymore.
Why does he like hiking so much?
Besides, he can go hiking alone.
Why does he always call me out…
What were you talking about that you had to stop so suddenly?
I was talking about hiking with you yesterday!
Seriously,
it was so much fun! [laughs]
I want to go again!
Is that so?
Why don't we bring a tent next week so that we can spend a night there?
Gosh,
I can't wait.
-Really? -I'll write it down on my calendar.
All right. You really got into hiking.
I knew you would like it.
Captain.
What is it?
I see. [chuckles] Do you want to join us?
No, I…
Would you spare me some time in the evening?
What? Are we having a get-together?
There's something I need to talk to you about.
I'd like to see you privately.
Is that so?
Do you want to come to my house?
Let's talk over a glass of infused liquor.
That sounds great. I'll see you then.
Okay.
Detective Kim, about that case…
Yes.
Will you tell him I bad-mouthed him behind his back?
I trust you, okay?
Okay. You do that. Well done.
We will share the same amount
with Ms. Oh Geum-hui, Ms. Seo Yeong-bok, and Ms. Lee Ju-ri.
Thank you for your hard work.
I didn't expect you to sell all of those products.
I'll say this again when the others arrive,
but why don't you try becoming the branch manager?
The branch manager?
Think of it as doing similar work as me.
Educate the sales representatives,
come up with sales strategies, and manage the sales.
You get a fixed monthly salary on top of the in-home sales profits.
A fixed monthly salary?
If I sell 100,000 won's worth of products more this month…
I'll have a chance.
-I'm sorry. -Okay.
Han Jeong-suk.
It's me, Gyeong-sik.
Kim Gyeong-sik.
The cleaning officer of Class Four in 12th grade.
-I'm sorry. It has been a while. -[Gyeong-sik chuckles]
I understand. I run a flower farm in the suburbs,
so I rarely come to the town.
I really wanted to see you, so I'm glad that I ran into you.
Me? Why?
I heard about your in-home sales.
[Gyeong-sik] My wife wanted to meet you. I think you know her.
She went to school with us. Yoon Jeong-rim.
What? Jeong-rim?
Is Jeong-rim doing well?
Yes.
She seriously injured her back while working at the farm.
-My goodness. -She's been bedridden for months.
Oh, no.
So I wanted to ask, would it be possible to come to my house
for in-home sales?
Of course, I can do that.
Jeong-rim will be very happy.
Will other sales representatives come?
What?
Since Jeong-rim is in bad health,
she gets uncomfortable when there are many people.
But she knows you,
so I'd appreciate it if you could come alone.
You understand, right?
Yes.
Okay. I'll try to come alone.
Thank you.
How about today?
Work will get busy at the farm starting from tomorrow.
Okay. Today is fine.
-Can you give me the address? -Okay.
-Yeongcheon-myeon. -Mm-hmm.
-San. -"San."
-27-1. -"27-1."
-Is this right? -Yes.
-Okay. -Thank you.
Don't mention it.
-See you later. -Okay.
-Say hello to Jeong-rim for me. -Okay.
Yeong-bok.
I'll be going to the home of my friend named Gyeong-sik
for in-home sales in a short while.
He runs a flower farm in the suburb.
Would you be able to come with me?
I'm so sorry.
I thought I was carsick, but I have indigestion,
and my body feels heavy. I don't feel well.
Why don't you ask Ms. Oh?
She has a gathering today.
Okay. Please take care.
Okay.
[groans]
I guess I'm old now.
It's rare for me to get carsick.
A long-distance trip got me exhausted.
It's my fault.
I made you struggle a lot in your younger days.
No.
I know that I did.
No.
It wasn't just in my younger days.
You make me struggle a lot even now.
Why did you use the past tense? It should be the present tense.
[children laugh]
Girls, don't bother your mom when she's sick.
You're bothering me more.
[teenager] Mom.
What is it this time?
If you need something, tell me. What do you want?
Sanitary pads. Do you know where they are?
What?
-Of course not. -[Yeong-bok groans]
Aren't they on the bathroom shelf?
There's only one.
You get your period before I do. Didn't you know?
I've been having irregular periods ever since I had Eun-ji.
It'll be a bit embarrassing,
but shall I buy them for you? Which one should I get?
A man shouldn't do that.
Forget it. I feel restless, so I'll get some air.
I'll go and buy it.
Don't. I can go.
[Yeong-bok] Please. Watch Eun-ji.
[sighs]
GYEONGRIM FLOWER FARM
-Take care. -Okay.
[Yeong-bok] Hello.
-Yeong-bok! -Hello.
I wanted to ask you something.
Okay.
Did Seong-su and Jeong-suk get a divorce?
Gosh.
[Yeong-bok] It's not something to be happy about.
Why are you asking so excitedly?
No, I'm not excited.
You're quite excited.
No. I asked because I was worried.
They fought because of in-home sales, right?
Now that she got a divorce,
-she'll quit. -Yes.
[scoffs]
Why would she quit?
Jeong-suk is so busy these days.
Today, she went to a flower farm
her friend from high school runs for in-home sales.
Her schedule is packed. She's so busy.
A flower farm?
The one Gyeong-sik runs?
I don't know who its owner is.
Her schedule was packed,
but she went because her friend and his wife begged her to go.
His wife?
Gyeong-sik's been single for a while now.
-What? -I heard that his wife ran away.
[Sun-ae] No way.
A few days ago, he bought canned peaches for his wife.
-[Ms. Park] Really? -Yes.
[Ms. Park] Did I get it confused with another family?
How frustrating.
The shop isn't open, is it? I'll go someplace else.
It's open. Go on in.
Don't be like that.
-Why would you talk about her divorce? -Okay. Go on in.
-[Sun-ae] What do you want? -I'm so upset.
Freedom pad!
[engine starts]
[panting]
[Gyeong-sik] Jeong-suk.
Jeong-suk.
[sighs]
Jeong-suk.
You've played hard to get long enough.
Stay away.
Hey, why do you keep making me look like a bad person?
I'm not like Seong-su.
-Let us be honest. -[gasps]
-Let go! -Come on out.
Let go!
[Gyeong-sik grunts]
[Jeong-suk screams]
[crying, distorted]
[Do-hyeon, Gyeong-sik grunting]
[Jeong-suk crying, distorted]
[Do-hyeon] Ms. Han Jeong-suk.
Ms. Han Jeong-suk.
A VIRTUOUS BUSINESS
[Jeong-suk] What happened yesterday…
There's no way people will find out about it, right?
I wouldn't do something like that!
Due to the nature of the crime, the victim needs psychological stability.
To separate the two sides, I'll receive the statement in writing.
Jeong-suk. Become successful as soon as possible and show everyone!
Apparently, Gyeong-sik feels really wronged.
Running away and covering up might not be the best option.
[Yeong-bok] Why didn't you tell us?
How could they corner the innocent victim? They're less than human.
[Yeong-suk] Whether it's psychological or physical,
let's win no matter what.
[Jeong-suk] I'm coming too.
It's my business.
