All language subtitles for Matrimonial Chaos E02

I wonder why they're getting a divorce.

Why are we?

Because I ate the Nagasaki cake.

Do you think
we're splitting up because of that?

There's a couple that I used to know.

The woman was older
and the man was younger.

The woman was kind,

devoted, and thoughtful.

She was a good woman.

Usually, the man was on the receiving end.

But one day, they broke up.

The guy wanted to break up first.

I asked why they split up.

They went to a show.

But the guy had a cold
that gave him diarrhea.

So, he was constantly running
to the bathroom.

The woman kept asking if he was okay.

It was a real mess,
but they watched the show.

That day, he decided
they needed to break up.

Do you know why they broke up?

Was he humiliated?

Is either being happy
or humiliated all you know?

Then, what?

I knew it.

You can't feel it.

How am I supposed to explain it to you?

That's how a breakup is.

It's hard to explain,

but you feel it.

He pooped and decided to break up.

How am I supposed to feel that?

Seriously.

I felt this before.

Once, I couldn't poop for two weeks.

I was frustrated and I felt icky.

No matter how hard I tried,
nothing came out.

I decided to forget and ignore it,

but then I was there, trying again.

That can slowly drive a person crazy.

Then, when I finally succeeded…

So…

A sense of accomplishment! Yes, that's it!

That's how I felt
when I left the courthouse.

Thank you.

If you get divorced out of rage,

you may regret it later.

He may not have understood
the situation from a text.

Oh.

That text?

Can you come home early?

We have a guest but he…

CAN YOU COME HOME EARLY?
WE HAVE A GUEST BUT HE

No.

No, no. I'm sorry.

That's not it.

I was just so scared.

Is the plant on the balcony okay?

Bring it in.

I brought up divorce first.

I'm sure she agreed
because she had no choice.

But when I go home,

she may ask to talk about it.

Like nothing happened.

She's an expert at being indecisive.

She may cry.

This is pure misery.

Did you get a divorce?

She divorced you?

Well…

Yes.

YES.

"They shine brightly
and are beautiful outside.

But once you bring them home,

the flowers and plants all die."

What do you think family means?

I understand this feeling.

I shine brightly and am beautiful outside,

but once I go home, I'm an evil witch.

No, no. I'm not mad.

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

Hello.

Sorry?

Hello.

The other night. Your wife…

Oh, you don't remember. Okay, then.

Excuse me.

I forgot

-the code.
-Sorry?

Do you know a way to clip it?

Did you forget the code
or did someone change it?

I'm not sure.

What was the code?

Zero, zero, zero

and zero.

What?

That's the default code.

How could you forget that?

-I know.
-So, someone changed it.

Who could it have been?

It was probably to mess with you.

Did you do something bad?

It seems like the type of revenge
women take.

I don't usually lock it.

Maybe someone locked it on purpose.

I wonder why?

Maybe it means they don't want you
to go somewhere.

That's right.

I had changed the last digit

to one.

Here.

How's Hwi-ru's dad? Is he okay?

Don't you need to go see him?

He's fine.

But you didn't go curling today?

What's the point without Hwi-ru?

It's no fun alone.

Here.

How long have you been married?

Three months.

I see.

It hasn't been that long.

Do you get along?

Sorry?

Do you go straight home
and not do anything bad?

-This is delicious.
-Sorry?

-Would you like to try?
-No.

Do you do anything bad? Do you?

Sorry?

I go fishing at times.

No, not that.

Do you mean something you do indoors?

Yes.

Sure. I guess so.

I see.

But I'm not into gaming.

-Where did you meet your wife?
-There she is.

-Oh, you're here.
-Hi.

Try this.

-It's really good.
-Isn't it?

Yes.

This is…

his grandma's shop.

-Jo Seok-mu.
-Right.

Seong-mu.

Seok-mu. It's "Seok," which means "stone."

What about "mu"?

It means "nothing and emptiness."

My bad. I didn't know.

Back then, my dad

was obsessed with the futility of life.

He had planned to become a Buddhist monk.

But then, they had me.

I don't know why someone
who wanted to be a monk had a baby, but…

He was Catholic.

I don't know why he wanted
to be a Buddhist monk.

He even plays the piano well.

Why didn't you tell me you're married?

Oh. It's a secret.

He doesn't want to let people know.

What?

What's wrong with him?

I mean…

Was it okay last time?

You introduced him to me as your husband.

Yes. I was testing him.

The truth is…

-I saw him before and--
-What about your wife?

Introduce me to her.

It'll be fun to have a double date.

Excuse me. We're closed.

Don't you sell alcohol here?

Should I call the cops or my sister?

Your sister isn't home.

She went home.

-You know?
-Of course.

She wouldn't go that far
just because of Dad's urinary stone.

Especially not with all her things.

So, I nagged her and she came clean.

That she got divorced.

-Well, the thing is--
-Nagasaki cake?

She said you wanted a divorce
because she ate that

and that you were a jerk.

Oh, my gosh. That flows well together.

Nagasaki jerk.

No, I…

How many times
must I explain that wasn't it?

Regardless, go down there
and bring her back.

You hated me so much.

Why are you doing this?

A divorce isn't about just the two of you.

Why are you two bowing out
after making this mess?

-What?
-My dad's sick.

His surgery is coming up.

If you say you got a divorce,

he may go into shock and refuse surgery.

What if his health fails and dies?

You're so pessimistic.

And what about Grandma's birthday?

Right.

And…

if you get divorced,
do I have to quit my job here?

I mean, she's still an in-law.

She wouldn't want to see
her grandson's ex-wife's sister.

And what if Hwi-ru says

she wants to crawl back into my apartment…

So, that's the real reason.

I…

Regardless, you should go.

She's probably waiting
for you, brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law?

I've never heard that before.

I hear it only after I get divorced.

But there is no way I'm going.

-Sit down.
-Okay.

Goodness.

You must be tired from the long trip.

Snack on this. I'll make you some food.

-Why are they all here?
-Who's here?

-Go in.
-Hello.

-Your son-in-law is here?
-My gosh.

He's handsome.

-Take the baby.
-Okay.

You look even more handsome.

He was always attractive from the start.

-You're right.
-My gosh!

You had a baby?

-You must be so happy!
-That's right!

No. This isn't my baby.

I know.

That's my grandson.

My gosh. You're so silly.

-You still have no sense of humor.
-My goodness.

Where's Hwi-ru?

Well,

she went to teach track
to the kids from her school.

Their coach is Hwi-ru's ex-boyfriend.

When they were in high school,

they were always together.
They were such a sight.

Gosh. Those little punks were hanging out

in front of a motel in their uniforms
and got caught by me.

Those kids did all sorts of stuff.

I know, right?

Hey!

I told you to wait for me.

Run!

Run!

You can do it!

Yes!

-Awesome!
-You ran so well.

-Darn it.
-You're awesome.

-You're so good.
-I'm impressed.

Seriously.

-You're so good.
-You're awesome.

What are you doing here?

I went to your house.

You did?

You still haven't told your family?

It's not a good time with Dad's condition.

I'll tell them
after they remove the stone.

I see. The stone.

My gosh.

Have this.

Why are you sitting here?
Sit with your husband.

We got a divorce.

What?

That's right. Hello.

I'm her ex-husband, Jo Seok-mu.

My gosh. We finally meet.

I'm a childhood friend. So, I'm…

her first love?

That's new. She said I was her first love.

What about her did you fall for?

I didn't fall for her.

You know,

I never saw a grown woman
read children's books.

You know she was a sports major.

She'd be in her tracksuit
reading the same book.

The book was falling apart.

-What was that?
-Charlotte's Web.

That's it.

That scary book?

Maybe she has a masochistic tendency.

How does this taste?

My gosh.

He's very sensitive about food.

He gets furious about petty things.

Yes, I'm sure they're petty

since you always simplify problems.

You always complicate problems.

Why? Because you're embarrassed.

Because you can't accept that
you're angry about something so petty.

No.

Do you know why you simplify problems?

Because that makes it easier to blame me.

If you understand the context,
you have to admit what you did wrong.

Hey, whether it's simple or complicated,

I created the problem, so…

-So why did you come to get me?
-I didn't come to get you.

It's Grandma's birthday.

And Father's too.

Nice!

You're so good.

Sing another!

Encore!

Encore!

Mother! Okay!

My goodness.

Okay!

Be careful.

Everyone is drunk.

Why are you preparing more?

The plum wine came out nicely this year.

Hey. Eun-shil is having
her second child soon.

There's no room for you in this house.

Take this out.

Here.

It's been so long since I drank with you.

Here.

We're out of soju.

Go get one.

What is she doing?

Look at that smile.

Hwi-ru was so pretty when she was little.

She got that way after she got big.

My gosh, that feels good.

You must be tired. You can stop.

Are you okay?

Aren't you washing up?

Do you want some water?

The ceiling.

What?

I remember the ceiling.

That's right. You were in this room
the first time you came.

Your dad fed me so much alcohol back then.

He did.

I got hit a lot too.

We couldn't tell
whether he was happy or upset.

He was sincere.

He said over and over,

"Give me my daughter."

Did I give you back to him now?

I wonder if your dad will be happy.

I'll turn off the light.

I didn't decide on a whim.

I know.

You won't change.

I don't hope you will either.

I think this is a good place to stop.

If there's one thing
that I feel bad about,

it's our families.

I know.

Divorce…

isn't about just the couple.

The two families get divorced.

I feel bad toward Grandma.

Forget about it.

I'll go see Grandma on her birthday.

Don't bother with my dad.

Don't do it.

What will you say?

I'll say you went home
because your dad was sick.

What if they say they'll come to see him?

Or call?

When will your dad recover after surgery?

Probably about a month after surgery?

Okay.

Then, let's tell Grandma before then.

Okay.

Okay.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Right.

What?

I'll tell Grandma

when we go curling.
Don't tell her until then.

Okay. Make sure she isn't traumatized.

Don't just spit it out while brushing.

It's "sweeping."

Here. Take this.

Drink it before you go to sleep, okay?

It's only for you.
Don't give this brat any.

What is it?

What else?

I had Hwi-ru after drinking this.

Oh, my gosh.

Seriously.

I see.

Thanks for coming all the way here.

You made me so happy.

I feel so much better.

What are you doing? Sit.

Do you want some tea?

-I'm fine.
-I'll just make one then.

You're being too awkward.

How long will you act like a guest?

Oh.

Is this better?

Sure. You seem a little less
like a guest now.

Yul-mae! Kay!

How were you?

Sleep on the bed.
I'll sleep in the living room.

No, I'm fine.

I can't let the guest sleep
in the living room.

-Hi.
-Hey.

You must be tired. Were you up all night?

Yes.

The sleeping room was dirty.

Something smells good.

-Wash up.
-Okay.

Go ahead.

Excuse me.

Aren't you Seok-mu?

Yes, I'm Jo Seok-mu.

Hey, Seok-mu.

Seoul National University's Dostoevsky.

When you were in school,
you always carried Dostoevsky on you.

Right.

What is that?

What are you doing?

-What do you mean?
-I mean, that…

Are you that, now?

-What?
-Gosh.

You're still so crabby.

Sir, everyone is waiting for you.

Okay. Stop pestering.

Here you go.

What's this money for?

You did a good job.

I get paid a salary.

Just take it.

Did you study so hard
just to do that? You punk.

Did you study so hard

just to touch your employee's butt?
You punk.

-What?
-That's right.

I remember now.

You studied really hard. You practically

lived in the library.

You always sat in the front.
You worked so hard on your assignments.

It was actually moving.

That's right.

You looked like a loser,

so no girl would even look at you.

I guess you studied really hard,

telling yourself you'll touch their butts
when you succeed.

Why you little… Hey.

Do you think we are on the same level?

I think you're lower.

You scumbag.

Thank you.

What?

Because of me…

It was not.

It wasn't because of you.

It wasn't a sense of justice either.

I tend to detest people,

but he was more detestable.

In a way, I can't say it wasn't
because of the feeling of shame

or envy.

That's why I used what happened

as an excuse to express the rage

that was boiling up inside of me.

So, don't thank me or feel bad.

There's no need.

No, it's okay. I'm fine.

Your nose is bleeding.

JECOM
LEADER IN UNMANNED SECURITY SYSTEMS

You were hit,
so why are they docking your pay?

Who cares if he's the client?

Who cares if he owns that company?

Who cares if the client
is close to the owner?

Hey. Just quit. Quit.

If I quit, I'm the one who loses the most.

I'm not a client or a company owner
or the owner's friend.

I can switch with you for tonight's shift.

For what? Why are you doing this?

Just go home and rest.

There's no point in working hard.

No. I really want to work tonight.

Isn't there anything very urgent?

Oh no.

Oh, my goodness.

It's so salty.

It's dusty. Don't put the utensils down.

Get the wet tissues.

No. The dishcloth.

We should care about the environment.
We must cut back on waste.

-The earth will get sick.
-Okay.

You only worry
about the earth getting sick.

Did you boil this?

Yes.

-Give it to me.
-It's okay.

I should do it.

-Why isn't Seok-mu here yet?
-Oh.

I think he's getting off work
late tonight.

Whatever.

As if he's doing something so important.

That must be Seok-yeong.

My beloved Seok-yeong!

Happy birthday, Father.

Thank you, our dear prosecutor.

My puppy.

Seong-bin.

Hello.

Hi.

Why are you sitting here?
They want you to come in.

Look there.

No!

I raised him since I was born.

Autumn.

One day, Dad said he'd give that dog

to some random person without telling me.

You punk! Get away. Don't touch it.

It's sick! What are you thinking?

You punk. Don't touch it. Take it away.

I couldn't even say goodbye to him.

Dad, please, just one more month.

No, just one more week.

I need time to say goodbye.

Be a man. Why are you so soft?

-I won't be a man!
-What?

Go! Now!

I'm going to go! Autumn!

Autumn!

-Go! Now!
-Autumn!

Autumn!

That's how he always was.

Dad always did as he pleased,

and my sister was one step behind.

So? What happened?

The conclusion was always a tragedy.

My dad sent Autumn away.

I fainted and was sick for about a week.

They thought I was going to die.

I dreamed the entire time.

They say dreams
are the opposite of reality.

In my dream, my dad was very free.

My father would throw a ball,

and Autumn would bite it,

and run across the field.

It was a pink ball.

The dream was so clear.

I think

that's when I missed it.

What?

How to say goodbye.

I never learned how to do that.

Mom, I said we would bring food.

Why did you cook so much?

I was making some, but I felt like
it would go well with this.

Since I wanted to eat this,
I felt like I needed that.

You know I tend to cook too much.

Come here. Let's eat.

-Let's eat.
-Okay.

-Seong-bin, let's eat.
-Let's sit.

-Come here.
-My gosh.

Hey, Hwi-ru. Okay. Come here.

You said you'd make japchae,

so I didn't make any.

Your father-in-law likes japchae.
Take it out.

Okay.

The seasoning is similar,

so it won't be too weird.

This must have happened
when I tripped earlier.

Why doesn't Grandma go?

What?

I thought their dad and grandma
had the same birthday.

Are they all coming here?

Yes.

It was about six months.

Mr. Ko came every single day.

But Seok-yeong wouldn't even look at him.

It was agony for me too.

That's enough. Eat.

Then eventually, I won her over.

That's right.

The drama was completed.

I shouted in joy.

It wasn't just me. Everyone in the family…

Not me.

I don't remember shouting in joy.

Hey. How's your work?

It's good.

What was it again?

Jacoby?
Do you catch cockroaches or something?

That's Jesco.

I think you said that about ten times now.

In order to fulfill your wish one day,

I'll be an exterminator
and catch cockroaches.

But it'll probably be tough.

That company is huge
and it's a good company,

so it's hard to get a job there.

Have a baby.

What?

You shouldn't intrude on the sex life
of an adult couple.

You punk.

What are you so bitter about?

It's because nothing
is going well for you,

so you're unhappy about everything.

You went to such a good college,

but you wasted your time being stupid.

And then…

The soup is getting cold.

We need to go. It's Grandma's birthday.

Why would you go there? Why are you so…

Ta-da!

It's so interesting that you and your son
have the same birthday.

It is, isn't it?

Something went in my eye.
Come and help me.

What are you doing?

You said to get it out.
I don't see anything.

There's nothing there.

I'll get right to it.

She's his step-grandma.

What?

She's that guy's father's stepmom.

So, she's that guy's step-grandma.

She married a man who had a son.

So, she isn't related at all

to her grandson.

I see.

-You're not surprised?
-I am.

She got married,
and the son had the same birthday as hers.

You're surprised about something unusual.

Anyway, they got married,

but the husband… That guy's grandpa

was very violent.

So, they got divorced.

Oh.

At least, you respond normally to that.

Regardless,

the grandpa died soon after the divorce.

So, that family thinks
he died because of her

and are mean to her.

Let's go, Seong-bin.

Let's go home.

We'll drop you off.

No, thanks.

Uncle, do you hate me?

Because I'm a child,

other people try to talk to me,

give me gifts and annoy me.

-But you…
-Sorry.

I'm not good with strangers.

Plus, once you enter society,

you'll see that no one
is interested in you.

Here.

Buy yourself a snack,
and listen to your parents.

Get home safely. It was nice seeing you.

You too.

People don't usually say that to family.

It feels awkward.

But then again, you are always like that.

It's odd.

How do you get prettier as time goes on?

Of course, ever since I first saw you,

I questioned how you could
be Seok-mu's sister,

but you keep getting prettier, so the gap

-keeps getting wider…
-It's awkward, right?

Thanks.

Aren't you getting in?
We'll give you a lift.

Let's go.

Are you really not getting in?

You're poor. Our car is huge.

I want to ride an even bigger car.

You know,

ever since I was little,

I said I would never ever get married.

It wasn't because of any conviction
or that I hated girls.

I didn't want

to show anyone my family.

I was embarrassed.

I hated my family,

and myself in that family.

I hated the person my family saw in me.

I felt like if I showed anyone
that part of me,

I'd feel completely naked.

That's why

I felt like love

would just fly away.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Grandma

Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday!
-Happy birthday!

Hwi-ru.

I gave the manuscript to the owner
of the publishing company where I worked.

He says he'll call after he reads it.

Thank you.

But why is it a secret that you want
to write children's books?

I don't know.

Because I'm not sure it'll happen?

Why not? I read it, and I liked it.

Really?

But when did you draw all that?

At night.

I work all night.

Does Seok-mu not know either?

No.

Once, I left them scattered around
for him to see.

But he only nagged me like crazy
for not throwing out my doodles.

Here.

Let's see how well it came out.

Do you want to watch
a performance afterward?

A performance?

A band that I know
is performing at a club nearby.

At my age?

Let's go.

You can see many good-looking guys there.

We can hang out with them afterward.

You're divorced now.

You should let loose.

You want to become a groupie at your age?

I won't stop you.

Let's go.

If you find a cute guy,
you have to date him. Okay?

Okay.

Oh no. There's only one left.

Do you want it?

No, I'm going to a restaurant.

Then, why did you grab a zucchini?

Because it has such a strange color.

What will you do with it?

I'm going to make zucchini stew.

Where's your wife?

My wife went

to be a groupie and date a guy.

What?

Good night.

It's a different woman.

Why do people in the same neighborhood…

You should've called.

What?

He's too much.

THE ETERNAL HUSBAND

What a great romance.

Isn't it too sweet?

The…

This is killing me.

Yes? Who is it?

Is your husband home?

Not yet.

I don't think he'll be back too soon.

-Come in.
-No.

It's fine. Come in.

Do you want some?

Oh.

I already ate

at a restaurant. I had curry.

Is there a good place?

I didn't eat it because it tastes good.

Because no one was there?

Yes.

You only watch movies no one watches.

What was that exhibit before?

Was it an exhibit on pouches?

It was really just the two of us.

I had rented the place out.

Recently,

I passed by the place
where we used to live,

-and it was the same.
-Really?

Remember that one Christmas?
We weren't doing anything,

and then that night,

we bought this huge Christmas tree.

That was nice.

When I look back,

that period of time

jumps out at me.

How would it have been
if we had stayed together?

I was just curious, that's all.

Is something wrong?

I…

got divorced.

Do you want to eat?

Sure.

Why did you marry someone like him?

Should we have a drink?

I had a friend at work named So-ra.

She was a nice girl.

She was my only friend at work.

He was her boyfriend.

I met him a few times like that,

and thought he was kind of flaky.

One day, he was telling me
about a restaurant,

and he drew a map really well.

-A map?
-Yes.

He drew a map to the restaurant,
and the way he drew…

It was nonchalant, but good.

As I watched him,

my heart fluttered.

Although…

all he did was draw a map?

Yes.

And not long after,
I went to watch a movie alone.

I was crossing the street
in front of the theater

and he started crossing toward me.

Hello.

Hello.

I met you through So-ra.

You recommended a restaurant too.

I see.

Are you watching a movie alone?

Yes.

Can I join you?

No.

So-ra will get mad.

I can't remember anything about the movie.

I kept wondering

why I refused.

I thought about it
throughout the whole movie.

I had liked him already.

I got a call the next day.

"Do you want to go fishing on Sunday?"

So I said,

"Yes."

I stole him from my favorite friend.

I made her cry.

You don't understand any of this, right?

Actually, no, I don't.

To be honest, neither do I.

Before then, I thought
that I should start to love

and that I wanted to love someone.

After I met him, I realized…

that love is different.

It isn't something you do,
but something you fall into.

That I had fallen in love.

I didn't know your love

It is probably too late now

It is probably over for us now

Even if I wish you a happy life

Even if I try to forget you

My heart still searches for you

I thought I was objective,
precise, and firm.

But I was a mess while I was with him.

My emotions were all over the place.

I learned about too many things
inside of me that I hated.

But…

I was so happy that I didn't care.

-Yu-yeong.
-He never says no.

I said I wanted to get married,

so he said, "Okay,"
and we registered our marriage.

They say

guys repeat the same thing over and over.

Do you know where he is now?

-I don't know.
-You do, don't you?

-He'll be home soon.
-You know.

He doesn't mean anything bad.

-What?
-He doesn't realize…

He doesn't realize?

What do you mean?

Isn't that a bit excessive?

He's cheating on you,

and you excuse him,
saying he doesn't realize it?

Don't get angry.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to talk to you like this.

I wanted to help you somehow,

and give you strength.

Because you don't seem happy right now,
and I wish you'd go back to how you were!

You used to be alive.

You didn't look like
you gave up on everything.

You weren't like this.

When we lived together,
those good memories…

Even ten years later,
you don't know anything.

I have no good memories with you.

When we broke up,

I wished you would just die.

I wished someone like you

would just die.

After Autumn left,

the boy was sick for several days.

He hated his dad
for sending Autumn far away

just because he was sick.

The boy had a dream.

In his dream, his dad was a good person.

He had sent Autumn to the countryside,

so that he could run around freely

in a big, open field with fresh air.

However, was that really just a dream?

Do you even know why I wanted a divorce?

What? "Mr. Kim"?
Are you going to marry him already?

We need to live together,
but I don't want to fight,

so let's set some rules.

We will not consider each other
as the opposite sex.

That wasn't why.

You're a great liar.

You lie to your wife and see other women.

You said your ex was a terrible person.

What did he do exactly?
