Every time you tell me you're fine,

I end up feeling sorry,
and I'm sick of it.

I'm also sick of...

trying so hard
when it's so hard to get pregnant.

Ji Eun.

Don't call me like that.

Hearing you call my name like that
makes me feel even sadder.

I want to be alone.
Just give me some space.

What's wrong?

Someone was in the kitchen.

What?

No one's here.

I'm sure I heard footsteps.

Who else could be here
other than us?

You're drunk and sensitive.

So you probably misheard it.

Let me make you
a cup of honey water.

No, can I just have water?

Water?

Here.

Do you feel better now?

You must be tired.
Let's go to the bedroom.

Whom did you drink with
instead of eating dinner with me?

Director Choi.

Didn't it cross your mind
that I might be waiting for you?

It did.

But I didn't show up on purpose.

Gosh.

Why are you acting like a child?

I guess I wanted to run away
because I didn't know what to say.

You had your hopes up,

so I didn't want to let you down
and tell you I wasn't pregnant.

What did I tell you?

I didn't fall in love with you
because you were perfect.

I married you...

because I was okay with
not having any children.

I'm sorry.

Instead of saying you're sorry,
tell me you love me.

Seriously?
Are you not going to say it?

I love you.

In order to be happy,

you need to love things
the way they are.

We deserve to be happy,
don't you think?

I know you won't ever change,

but do I constantly feel so nervous?

(5 months ago)

I don't think
I should live with you anymore...

since you have feelings
for someone else.

It's not what you think.

Look at yourself right now.

You never dress up like that
when you're with me.

You wear makeup every weekend...

saying you want to help Mr. Lee
get his memory back.

But you're only doing that
because you want to look good.

You still have feelings for him,
don't you?

I can't say
I feel nothing toward him.

He's the father of my children.

Fine.

It'll all be fine if I'm gone.

I'm just saying
I feel bad for Sang Bum.

It doesn't mean my feelings for you
have changed.

This entire situation
is completely absurd,

and I'm just sick of it.

It's been a month, but you still
haven't gotten divorced.

What do you expect from me?

I can't keep living with you
when you're married.

There's no need
to make things complicated.

If I leave, everything will
go back to normal.

I should be the one to leave
this house, not you.

I thought you'd get a divorce
even if you had to file a lawsuit,

but I guess you're never
going to do that.

Just live here.

This is my punishment for you.

(Application for divorce)

(Lee Sang Bum, Jo Hyun Sook)

I didn't want to tell you why...

I couldn't get divorced right away.

I felt too embarrassed to tell you
that my little brother...

tried to harm my own husband.

And because of what my brother did,
it hurt my conscience...

to ask Sang Bum for a divorce.

I thought you were going to sleep
at your dad's place yesterday.

I didn't want to bother him working,

so I left late at night.

There's rice in the cooker,
so you can fix your own breakfast.

There are some side dishes
in the fridge,

so deliver them to your dad.

He doesn't want me
to bring him side dishes anymore.

Okay then. Whatever.

Have you still not
contacted Mr. Kang?

Why didn't you text him
and tell him you got a divorce?

I don't think he wants to hear
from me. He changed his number.

Gosh.

His bar's been closed for months.
I wonder where he went.

He probably just went on a trip
to clear his head, right?

Mom.

Aren't you going to look for
Mr. Kang?

He won't come back to me
just because I got a divorce.

You should've just
told him everything.

I know it's shocking
that Uncle Hyun Min...

tried to harm Dad.

But if you had told him the truth,
I'm sure he would've understood...

why you felt responsible
for Dad's situation.

You've never been in love,
so I guess you still don't get it.

I liked Mr. Kang a lot, and because
I was so lacking in many ways,

I didn't want to show him
any of my flaws.

Of course, it wasn't easy
to tell your dad either,

but I found it impossible
to tell the truth to Mr. Kang.

Did you like him that much?

It was different from
the feelings I had for your dad.

Your dad and I met when we were
young and immature.

But thanks to your rich grandfather,
I had a very abundant life.

So I had enough pride
to hit on your dad.

On the other hand,
I met Mr. Kang when I had nothing.

I was mean to him
because I felt inferior,

and I always mistreated him.

But he loved me
regardless of my flaws.

So I'll never be able
to get over him.

Then why don't you go find him?

Mom.

I think I know a way
to find Mr. Kang.

Jung Min, did you drink
the water in this cup?

No.

I only had a sip last night.

Why is it half empty?

Maybe you were too drunk yesterday.

I do have a headache.

I almost had two bottles
of champagne all by myself.

Let me cook some hangover soup
for my wife who loves to drink.

Thank you.

Why is there so little?

Let's eat breakfast.

The dried pollack soup I made
tastes amazing.

Jung Min, did you use my toner?

What? Why would I use your toner?

It looks like someone used it.

Who would use your stuff?

I use a plastic spatula
to use my cream.

But look.
There's a huge finger mark.

You were still drunk...

when you were sitting there
after you took a shower.

Maybe you didn't use the spatula
because you were drunk.

I only put on toner last night.

I'm sure you're mistaken.
Don't be so sensitive.

I don't want to get suspicious,

but maybe the new housekeeper
tried some on.

That's a bit upsetting.

Ji Eun.

What do you think about
getting counseling?

- Counseling for what?
- Well...

You went through
a lot of crazy things.

You were at the scene
of Director Choi's accident,

and you had to watch her bleed...

after she got hit on the head.

Anyone would've been
shocked by that.

And I'm sure it made you feel scared
that it might happen to you too.

I know you focused on work...

instead of thinking about it
because you didn't want...

people to gossip about it.

Plus, you tried really hard...

to get pregnant
for the past six months,

but things didn't go our way.

Even someone with a strong mentality
would find it hard to cope with.

I'm starting to think
that you might be...

having those nightmares...

due to shock and a sense of loss.

So you're telling me
to go see a doctor?

It's not a bad thing
to get counseling for stress.

Jung Min, I'm about to sign
a contract with a firm in Europe,

so I don't have time for that.

And I don't want to tell someone
about my life...

even if that person is a doctor.

I also don't want you
to decide things for me...

without even discussing it with me
beforehand.

Why did you have to tell your aunt
about me?

No, I mean...

I just thought you'd be
the perfect person to run Seorin.

I'm not saying it should happen
right now.

I'm saying you can run the company
once it's the right time.

Even if that was your opinion,

you should've
told me about it first.

I just came out
during a conversation.

Why are you
being so sensitive about it?

I'm sick of hearing you say that.

Why do you keep
making it seem like I'm sensitive?

I'm not making it seem like
you're sensitive.

It's just that you get angry
so easily.

That's because
you make me get angry.

Gosh.

My goodness.

(Seorin)

(CEO Lee Ji Eun)

Ms. Choi.

Didn't I ask you to print out
the marketing proposal...

for the spring season earlier?

I already gave it to you
this morning.

When? I don't remember
getting it from you.

You put it here.

I'm sorry. I must've forgotten.

I'm not even surprised.

We're doing tons of projects
at the same time.

With the amount of work we have,
you should get yourself a secretary.

And we should move
to a bigger office too.

You should also get
a really expensive car.

That's just what I think.

Our sales may be increasing,

but we're not in
that kind of situation.

We started with nothing.

And although
we're Seorin's affiliate,

we still need to pay 40 percent
of our profits to Seorin.

We also need to pay incentives
to the factory workers.

We still need to save money.

Once we manage to sign
a contract with the firm in Europe,

we will no longer have to run
on a tight budget,

but that doesn't mean
we'll have enough money either.

We need enough money
to cover for all the projects...

that we're proceeding with
right now.

So we need to make sure
we maintain our liquidity.

Her husband is the owner of Seorin,
but she doesn't get any favors.

Even my own employees
are biased about it,

so I guess it's expected for
others to think of me that way too.

I'm sorry, sir.

I totally forgot about
our lunch appointment.

Yes, I'll be right down.

Okay.

I have a lunch appointment
with Mr. Kim from Most Company.

Enjoy your lunch, ladies.

Gosh.

Don't you know that Ms. Lee
is very sensitive these days?

But our sales have been increasing,

and we're about to sign a deal
with a firm in Europe.

She even goes on TV shows
and is famous now.

What's there to be sensitive about?

She's still not pregnant.

Chairwoman Seo is
constantly pressuring her,

and Ms. Lee is a perfectionist,

so she tends to beat herself up.

She's probably
really stressed right now.

I guess that's why
she's been so cranky...

and forgetful these days.

Gosh.

Look. She even forgot
to take her cell phone.

The receiver cannot be reached.
You will be directed to voicemail.

Please leave a message...

What's that?

I bought a pair of baby shoes
on the internet.

But it was thoughtless of me.

Ji Eun must've seen them
when she came to our office.

So did you get into a fight?

Don't even ask.

I guess she's still angry.
She won't even answer my calls.

You need to set things straight
while the marriage is still young.

You're too obedient to your wife.

Stop being absurd. I just love her.

No wonder you can't find love,
you cold-hearted punk.

Goodness.

(Chairwoman Seo Hui Su)

Why couldn't we meet
at the restaurant?

Why did you have to ask me
to come all the way to your office?

I want to introduce you to someone.

Who?

Back when you were unconscious
at the hospital,

I made you a promise.

What promise?

I promised you that if you wake up,

I'll find you a decent guy...

and make sure you get married.

So did you find me a decent man?

Yes.

I didn't know you had a guest.

Director Choi.

He's Mr. Kim Myung Seok,
the CEO of Seorin Group.

She's Director Choi.

I'm already acquainted with him.

Long time no see.

How do you know each other?

I used to go to her gallery
quite often...

to take a look
at the collections there.

Don't tell me he's the guy
you wanted to set me up with.

What's wrong with that? It's better
that you know each other.

Mr. Kim is single,

and so are you. It's perfect.

You're using me again.

I know everything about you.

What are you talking about you?

You and Mr. Kim have
a thing going on,

and you're using me to test
how he reacts.

Don't jump to conclusions.

There's nothing going on between us.

We're just friends from college.

We have no feelings for each other.

Then is it okay
if I start dating him?

Are you sure
there's nothing going on?

Obviously. Otherwise, I'd tell her.

Do you like dumpling soup?

I know tons of restaurants
that sell amazing dumpling soup.

I know a lot of places.

Let's go then.

Are you okay with dumpling soup?

I already have a lunch appointment.

Then I'll call you later.

I guess we'll just have to eat
without you.

"Do you like dumpling soup?"

Gosh, he's unbelievable.

He has no backbone whatsoever.

He's so annoying.

Did we take the joke a bit too far?

She needs to feel like
she lost something...

in order to make her have the urge
to fight for me.

Come on. Let's tease her a bit more.

He knows nothing about women.

I should teach him a few things.

Bok Ja, do you know
how absent-minded I am these days?

I even forgot I had
a lunch appointment...

with the CEO of
one of our contractors.

I even left my cell phone
in my office.

You're normally so shrewd and smart.
What's gotten into you?

I'm totally the opposite of that
these days.

Bok Ja.

I feel really uneasy
and disturbed these days.

What's giving you the hardest time?

I feel so anxious.

As you already know,
people call me Cinderella.

I didn't want people
to think of me as a divorcee...

who got lucky...

and succeeded in marrying
a third-generation conglomerate.

So I thought I had to show them
what I was capable of.

That way, I'd be able to prove
that I didn't marry Jung Min...

because of his background.

Is that why you're always
so busy with work?

That's the only thing
I have control over.

I keep trying to get pregnant,
but it's not working.

So I should at least work hard.

There are many couples
who are happy without kids.

Jung Min's not like that.

He says he's fine,

but he really wants a baby.

So I have to get pregnant.

Maybe you'll get pregnant
if you relax a little.

You can't expect
everything to work out all at once.

If you try too hard
to be good at everything,

it could end up making things
even more complicated.

I guess it's true that I'm
a little twisted these days.

I keep having nightmares,
and I'm so sensitive these days.

So Jung Min got worried and said
I should go see a doctor.

But I got really angry at him
for that.

I guess I felt anxious
due to pressure.

It's hard to control my feelings
these days.

Ji Eun.

You're living under a lot of stress,

so I don't think it's a bad idea
to get counseling.

I don't want to get counseling.
I just want to go somewhere.

Sometimes,

married life can get
very exhausting and difficult.

I feel like I no longer exist.

It's too burdensome
and pressuring...

to live as the daughter-in-law
of the late chairman...

and Jung Min's wife.

Oh, gosh.

What should I do?

Is it exhausting and difficult
to live with me?

Is it burdensome and pressuring
to be my wife?

It just came out.

I was just complaining to a friend.

The fact that it just came out
means you said it...

without a filter.

And the fact that you were
complaining...

shows that you actually mean it.

Do you have to nitpick like that?

Can't you just let it go?

How much do you expect me
to understand you?

I get that you're upset
because you're not getting pregnant,

but you need to stop whining.

You think I'm whining?

You always pretended like
you understood me,

but deep down inside,
you thought I was whining?

What? "Pretend"?

Did you say "pretend"?

Ji Eun, are you really
going to talk to me like that?

You made me think that way.

I'm trying so hard
to get pregnant...

even while I'm busy with work.

But you're telling me
to whining right now?

I told you that I don't care
if we don't have kids.

I said I'm fine with it.

Why won't you believe me?

If you're so fine with it,
why did you buy baby shoes?

I also overheard you
talking to my mom on the phone.

You're looking forward
to having a baby,

but you act like you're fine.

Do you know how that makes me feel?

Am I not even allowed
to look forward to it?

Then should I pressure and ask you
why you're still not pregnant?

Why are you so twisted these days?
What is the problem?

I'm the problem.

Gosh, let's just drop it. This is
only going to make us more upset.

I forgot the wine.

This is too boring.

That's why you fought
with my daughter?

Congratulations.

You had your first fight
as a married couple.

A couple with no crisis...

is pretty much the same
as a divorced couple.

When you're married,
don't think of it as a fight.

Instead, think of it as a debate.

I haven't regained
all of my memory back.

But sometimes, I remember
fighting with Ji Eun's mother.

Not only did I never give in,

but we also didn't talk for days
after a fight.

That only caused us
to fall apart even more.

That's why you need to make sure...

the fight never lasts over a day.

Yes, you're right.
I'll make sure of that.

Father, how are things going
with the book writing?

I don't have a lot to say
about my life,

but it's actually quite fun,

although it's a bit
embarrassing too.

To be honest, my childhood dream
was to become a writer.

You got a second chance in life,

so you should do
what you've dreamed of.

Just a second.

Where are you?

I'll cook mille-feuille nabe,
your favorite.

So hurry up and come home.
I'm on my way home right now.

Well...

Father, is it okay...

if I go and see my wife now?

Good luck.

Thank you.

(Phoenix 2020)

I got a divorce.

Why are you acting so sly?

I'm trying to seduce you again.

I won't fall for it.

I'm going to keep getting treatment
no matter how much it drains me.

Why is it that you always want
to have everything your way?

I told you that I'm the problem.

Jung Min,
just wait a little bit more.

You remember
what I promised you, right?

I promised you that we'll live
a happy life with Mr. Seo.
