I need to go.

I can't cancel this.

Then can't you at least
postpone it for a few hours?

The executive meeting
will end in less than two hours.

I'll go home as soon as it's over.

I can't postpone it.

Can't you tell them
that something urgent came up?

Just postpone it for two hours.

Ji Eun, you act like
your meeting is important...

but mine isn't.

I need to go. Seung Ju is waiting.

So what if she's waiting?
Why should I even care?

She helped me
fix a meeting with this client.

Then what about our kids?
Who's going to take care of them?

Why can't you go?

It's okay to miss
the executive meeting.

Isn't it also okay for you
to cancel the meeting you have now?

Gosh, forget it.

Does that mean you're going?

Why won't you ever yield to me?

This isn't about yielding.

It's about how you think of things.

And it's about being considerate.

I know.

I know that you've been
very patient with me these days.

But think about the way you acted
in front of the elevator earlier.

I wouldn't exactly
call that considerate.

I just...

I just wanted to make you jealous.

It's not funny.

Raising the kids isn't tough.

But it's tough to see
how selfish you are.

So all along,
you always thought I was selfish?

I felt like I should be honest
in order to fix this.

For the past two years,
I always did what you asked.

But I'm exhausted now.

Today, it should be you...

who yields to me.
You take care of the kids.

I was just about to call.

I'll go home.
Jung Min has an important meeting.

We dealt with it, so don't worry.

Yeo Jin and Bok Ja will be here.

They both took a leave
to get ready for their wedding.

Really? I'm so grateful.

Ji Eun, I'm sorry
if I upset you earlier.

I got too worked up
because your mom got hurt.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I'm the one who's always sorry.

But is it so bad
that she can't even walk?

That's not good.

Okay.

Take her to the hospital
and have her get it checked.

Let me know
once you get the results.

Okay, bye.

But it's tough to see
how selfish you are.

I felt like I should be honest
in order to fix this.

For the past two years,
I always did what you asked.

But I'm exhausted now.

(Director Lee Ji Eun)

Ta-da.

Let's decide together...

whether we should go to Africa
or a nice vacation spot.

Where should we go?

I've been to all of South America,

but I heard you haven't.

Cuba's nice too.

What's with that look on your face?

Jung Min, can we postpone the trip?

Why? What's the matter this time?

Catherine is in Korea.

You know how desperate I am
to meet her.

She was a poor, single mother.

But she managed to build
a world-famous fashion company.

She's a real legend.

The Korean Entrepreneurs Association
invited her to Korea.

So she'll be doing a seminar
for four days.

On the last day, we'll even be
allowed to do a 1-on-1 meeting.

So are you saying...

you want to cancel the trip
so you can go to the seminar?

We can always go on a trip,

but this is my only chance
to meet her.

And to be honest,
I feel bad about asking my mom...

to take care of the kids for a week.

We not only need to work,
but we also have the kids.

Realistically speaking,
going on a trip is a bit too much...

regardless of whether or not
I go to the seminar.

I just...

don't feel that comfortable
going on a trip without the kids.

Okay.

If you don't want to go,
then I guess we can't go.

I guess Jung Min
really did his best...

to cater to my needs.

Bok Ja and Yeo Jin are going to
take care of the kids for us.

I'll go home as soon as
the executive meeting is over.

I think we need to talk.

Is there going to be a round two?

Who wins whenever you guys fight?

I always let her win.

But I think that's caused her...

to become too comfortable with me.

All fairy tales come to an end.

Marriage is reality.

Your wife loves to work,

and as a mother, I'm sure
she loves the twins a lot.

I guess you're not
as important to her anymore.

Gosh, I feel like I should
teach her a lesson.

Are you going to make her jealous?

Seung Ju, can you spare me
some time today?

I'm always grateful
toward my husband.

In order to save my life,

he didn't even hesitate
to drink poison.

Because of that,
I feel pressured...

to always show him
how happy I am.

That must be very pressuring.

No matter how much
you love your husband,

you can't possibly always be happy.

Due to that pressure, I often
find myself getting cranky at him.

Why haven't you told your husband...

that you have masked depression?

If I tell him, he'll worry.

My husband is
a kind and fragile man.

So he might put the blame on him.

Do you still dream of
getting confined these days?

Sometimes,
I dream of getting locked up.

I'm sure you were upset and angry...

when you got framed and confined
in the past.

But you keep
suppressing that anger of yours.

On top of that,
you even feel indebted...

to your husband
because he even tried...

to sacrifice himself
to save your life.

I came to a conclusion
that Seo Eun Ju led a pitiful life,

and I know I shouldn't blame
my husband for what happened.

But I sometimes find myself...

getting angry at my husband
for what she did to me.

But of course,
I never once expressed it to him.

Ms. Lee.

You don't need to forgive
Seo Eun Ju...

just because she's dead.

She hurt you,

and she threatened to kill you.

I think you feel obligated
to forgive her...

just because she apologized
in her letter.

No one wants to live
a lonely life...

by hiding his or her feelings.

So you need to stop
trying to fool yourself.

You keep pressuring yourself
to be a good person,

which is probably what led you
to have masked depression.

I bet you keep telling yourself
that everything's okay...

so that others will think
that you're a good person.

And...

I bet you always try
to handle things on your own.

But if you don't express
how hard things are for you,

you won't be able
to receive any consolation.

You should practice...

expressing your honest feelings
to your husband.

Thank you for coming all the way
to my office for counseling.

No problem.

Ms. Lee.

Start expressing yourself
to your husband.

To be honest, I'm exhausted.

I want to be a happy
and kind wife to you.

I want to be a good mother
to our kids.

And I also feel the need
to do a perfect job at work.

I guess I got caught
in my own trap.

This is going to keep the water
at 40°C.

So you just need to pour it in
the bottle and mix it up.

I see.

- Do you see the mark?
- Yes.

250ml of water
and 5 spoonfuls of this.

Okay.

What time do I need to feed them?

At around 5 p.m.

Do I just feed them this formula?

No.

You need to feed them baby food
at 7 p.m.

Ji Eun already packed them
into small portions for each meal.

So you just need to microwave it
for 40 seconds.

Okay. 40 seconds.

Yeo Jin, come over here.

We need to hear this together
so that we don't make any mistakes.

Why would you make a mistake?

You just need to feed them
the formula at 5 p.m...

and the baby food at 7 p.m.

Right?

Then wait.

How many spoonfuls
do I need to add again?

And did you say 250ml of water?

Was it...

- Yeo Jin.
- I'm coming.

That's weird.

My goodness.

My goodness gracious.

Oh, my goodness.

Let's eat before the food gets cold.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Wait.

Open your gift first.

What is it?

You'll know once you open it.

I took a photo of your son
from your wallet to make that.

On your next birthday,
I hope you meet Tae Jun in person...

so you can actually
take a photo with him.

My goodness.

This is so touching.

Thank you.

Meeting you
was my biggest gift in life.

My gosh, stop it.
The kids are watching.

- My gosh, stop it.
- My goodness.

I'm allowed to hug my girlfriend.

No one should have
a problem with that.

Raise your hand
if you have a problem with it.

- Me.
- Me.

Me too.

Okay, guys.

I admit that your love
for each other is real.

You have my acknowledgment.

Mr. Kang, let me pour you a glass.

Okay, thanks.

Life passes by in an instant.

So if you want to be happy,
be with the person you love.

Okay, guys. Let's clink glasses.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Stay healthy.
- Become rich.

Mr. Kang, can I take a look
at the photo?

Sure.

I know this was photoshopped,

but your son looks so familiar.

Right? Doesn't he look like me?

- My goodness.
- What is it?

Is it that painful?

No, it's not that.

You should hurry up
and take her to the hospital.

They look nothing like each other.

Or maybe kids all look similar.

I'm sure it was the same boy
in both photos.

Should I tell him?

No, I should check
before I tell him.

Yeo Jin.

You dropped your wallet.

Thank you.

I keep dropping it because I put it
in my back pocket.

I told you not to put it
in your back pocket.

Sorry. It's become a habit.

I also put it in my back pocket.

Yeo Jin, can you help me get up?

Sure.

I'll help you.

It's better to have two people
help me from both sides.

Here.

Why did you pull out my hair?

I'm sorry. I saw some gray hair.

Did it hurt?

Let's go now.

My gosh, I'm so tired.

I can't do this again.

But still, it's fun. They're cute.

They're cute only for a while.
Childrearing is no joke.

I'm so glad we decided
not to have kids.

I held Han Bit and Na Rae
in my arms...

as I gave them
their formula earlier,

and I could feel
their small hearts beating.

It was so touching
even though they're not my babies.

Should we reconsider?

- Reconsider what?
- Having babies.

I'm a working woman.

My gosh, come on.

Ms. Lee works too.

And look at how exhausted she is
all the time.

I thought you agreed
to enjoy our lives without kids.

I want you to have my baby.

You're already the baby.

My gosh.

Why can't you raise
one more baby?

Do you know how much it costs
to raise a baby?

My gosh.

Stop complaining about money.

Who knows? I might get rich one day.

Sure. Whatever.

Hey, they're crying.
Go and soothe the babies.

How am I going to
make them smile this time?

Your uncle will be right there!

Hello.

We just fed them formula.

The babies just fell asleep.

They're so small and cute.

I know you're busy getting ready
for the wedding. Thank you so much.

I see you came with a guest.

Oh, she's a childhood friend.

Hello, I'm Kang Seung Ju.

I lost Jung Min to Ji Eun.

I'm his first love.

Hey, you're not my first love.

My first love is Geun Yeong
from second grade.

- Is she married?
- She has two kids.

She married a count in England
and is living in a castle.

Their wedding lasted for a week.

We'll be off now.

Why don't you eat dinner with us?

We have an appointment.

We're having dinner
with the home shopping staff.

I see. Thank you so much for today.

I'll give you guys a big gift
for your wedding.

I wonder if Ji Eun knows
he brought home a female friend.

I'm sure she knows.

Get in. We're late.

Will you drive for once?

Why do I always need to drive?

It's because you drive so well.

Why am I even marrying you?

What do you think marriage is?

Buying nice furniture
that you see in magazines...

and living in an apartment
with a nice river view?

That's not marriage.

Marriage is...

when you come home from work,
drink a can of beer,

cook dinner together,

and have fun watching TV
on the sofa.

That's the kind of stuff
you like, right?

Yes.

We'll be able to do that together
for the rest of our lives.

We can also shower together...

and have ice cream in bed together.

That's what marriage is.

What do you think?
Doesn't it sound nice?

I guess.

Let's go.

Thanks for helping me clean.

I never once imagined
that you'd be living like this.

You were a free soul
that never wanted to be tied down.

I wasn't a free soul.
I was just lost.

My wife gave me a home.

She makes me satisfied and happy.

Although we're going through
a rough patch these days.

I heard men finally grow up...

once they get married.

Isn't that the same with women?

You should hurry up
and get married too.

I find men boring.

Plus, passion dies with time.

That's why you need to make
an effort to keep the passion alive.

Like you said earlier,

all fairy tales come to an end.

I personally think
you need to keep trying...

in order to continue
living in a fairy tale.

Did you ask me
to make your wife jealous...

so you can keep
living in a fairy tale?

I know it's a bit childish,
but it's always the best way.

Jealousy is a way to express...

how much you want that person.

I admire how hard you're trying
to keep the love alive.

I know I'm living in reality,

but I also want to have
some fantasy in life.

I know I can't always expect
our hearts to flutter all the time,

but we should try our best
to keep the love alive.

I envy your wife.

You'd better do a good job later.

Don't cross the line though.

I'm hungry. Give me food.

Okay, Ji Eun will be here soon.
Just hang in there.

You're not even
a good friend anymore.

Goodness,
you're leaving early today.

Is there something going on at home?

The babysitter couldn't come today,

so my friends are taking care
of the twins instead.

So I'm in a rush to go home.

Did Jung Min not offer
to go home instead?

He had an important appointment.

He's the type to go home
and take care of the kids.

But seeing that he chose
to go to his appointment,

it seems like he's slowly
getting exhausted too.

I told you so.

Working and taking care of the kids
at the same time...

only makes you feel uneasy.

I can't say it's easy.

The time has come
for you to make a choice.

I think you need to choose...

between work and family.

I know both things can't be perfect,

but I still want to try my best.

That's what you call greed.

It's impossible to work...

and take care of your kids
at the same time.

My goodness.

I'm lecturing you again.
I don't want to stress you out.

But let me say one more thing.

Ji Eun.

You've been doing great until now.

So cheer up.

Jung Min, is someone here?

- When did you come home?
- Just now.

Seung Ju helped me out a lot.

You're going to let me stay
for dinner, right?

I'll take Han Bit.

He might wake up.
I'll put him in his crib.

How could you bring her home
without even telling me?

I had to talk to her
regarding the advertisement.

I had no other choice.

I couldn't ask Director Nam
and Yeo Jin...

to take care of the kids until late.

You should've called me.

Can we fight later?

We should at least fix a meal
for Seung Ju.

We're going to grill some meat
out in the garden.

It's not easy to get over a guy
whom you loved.

That's a very
sensitive thing to say.

How much do you love Jung Min?

How much do you still like him?

It looks like your wife's jealous.

What?

My wife doesn't get jealous.
She thinks it's childish.

You want to know
how much I still like him?

Enough to want him back.

Then go ahead and take him.

I think we took the prank
a bit too far.

Did you just say "prank"?

Hey, the thing is,

I asked Seung Ju to do this...

because it felt like
there's no tension between us.

"Tension"?

I already have enough tension
in my life.

But not with me.

You're not as interested in me
as you used to be.

Ji Eun.

I'm sorry for making you angry.

I'm not taking Jung Min's side.

But he wanted to check
your love for him,

so he asked for my help.

I should go now.

I think you guys need
to talk about this.

I'm so worried
that the love between us...

might disappear.

Please come back
to how you used to be,

Ji Eun.

Jung Min.

I'm not that simple like you.

I love you,

but you give me such a hard time.

And I resent you for that.

Ji Eun, stop.

We're not done talking.

You can't just leave
after telling me how you feel.

What did I do to give you
such a hard time?

How do you expect me to talk
to a person...

who doesn't even know
why I'm angry?

Fine.

I brought Seung Ju home
without even telling you.

If that's why you're angry,
I totally get it.

But do you really think
you have the right to be like this?

Do you know something?

You never listen to me.

I clearly sent you a text
saying we need to talk today.

I didn't want to fight.

And you might find this childish,

but I wanted to use Seung Ju
to make you jealous...

so that we could go back
to when we used to date.

We're not dating anymore.
We're married.

We have tons of things to do.

"Things to do"?

That's only
coming from your perspective.

You wanted to become the director,

and you didn't want to hire
an in-home nanny.

You're always busy with work
and never take any days off.

You're a workaholic.

You see,

I want a wife who spends time
with me in the weekends.

I want a wife who's willing
to look into my eyes...

and talk to me
for at least 30 minutes after work.

I want a wife
whom I can talk and laugh with...

and someone
who focuses her attention on me.

I want a wife who leaves
a spot for me in her life.

(Phoenix 2020)

Let's drop it.

I don't want the kids
to see us fighting.

Am I feeling sad
because Bok Ja...

is marrying someone else?

We're all free to date whomever.

Who says it's not okay
to switch lovers?

I found your son, Tae Jun.

Where is Tae Jun?

It looks like your wife
slept with the kids.

Did you fight with her?

Jung Min, what is happiness?

I love you,
but I wasn't always happy.
