Original subtitles

Yeong-jae.

I...

I want to go to you.

Will you accept me?

He asked that I give him a chance,

if our marriage was based on nothing but a contract.

What?

may...

I...

love him?

Oh, is my chicken up early to make breakfast?

Sorry.

I’m not allowed to call you a chicken, right?

Then what can I call you?

Cock a doodle doo?

What did you say?

Cock a doodle doo, you got up early to make breakfast?

Oh, you are so sweet, my Cock a doodle doo.

Where did it go?

This? Here.

I didn’t do anything.

Are you really going to do this to me?

We decided we would have toast on days that I’m busy.

What are you so busy doing? Why are you so busy?

I'm meeting Yoo Min-hyuk this afternoon.

What’s wrong?

Nothing.

So, I guess...

you’ll have dinner with Min-hyuk.

I don’t know. Maybe.

Ask him to buy you a lot of delicious things.

He’s got nothing but money. You should ask him for expensive things.

He always takes me to expensive places.

Really?

That’s a relief.

Now that I think about it,

I don’t think I’ve ever bought you a decent meal.

I always stood you up.

Ji-eun.

Yes?

If you...

want to date Min-hyuk, go ahead.

You don’t need my permission.

I didn’t hire your heart.

Even though our marriage is just business,

I didn’t hire your heart.

Your heart...

belongs to you.

Good for you.

That’s right, my heart belongs to me, so from now on, I will do whatever I want.

The story is much better after the rewrite.

Really? I’m so relieved.

Will you make a movie from this synopsis?

Well,

I’m not sure about that.

Oh, right.

We won’t know until the screenplay is made.

Since you wrote the synopsis, why don’t you write the screenplay, too?

What? Me?

What’s wrong? Don’t you have confidence in yourself?

Well,

sometimes, I don’t feel confident.

While at other times I do feel confident.

I don’t know.

Don’t worry, you will be great.

Let’s think about it later and let’s go get lunch now.

I’ll buy you something good.

Is this what you meant by good?

I saw it on the street the last time we were together,

and it looked so good.

I really wanted to try it, but I didn’t have the guts to do it alone.

Why not?

Well, I guess it would be a little embarrassing to eat this

while dressed like that.

About what you told me

the last time...

To be honest,

I already promised to stay married to Yeong-jae for three years.

If that’s all it is, don’t worry about it.

I’ll take care of all the details regarding the contract and your house.

Sorry?

How can you take care of it for me?

I’ll take care of all of it. Ji-eun, you don’t have to worry about anything.

I think you’ve misunderstood.

I was the one who decided to sign the contract with Yeong-jae.

This is a promise I made to Yeong-jae.

No one can handle this for me.

I didn’t mean it that way.

I was worried your heart was tied to this contract.

That was what worried me.

That’s not how it is.

My heart belongs to me.

I’m sorry if I made a mistake, I apologize.

No.

It’s just that my heart belongs to me,

but I don’t know my heart.

I really

don’t like Yeong-jae at all. I hate him.

He’s always calling me a chicken,

and a rice cooker, and he’s always so mean.

And after he makes me do everything he wants

he yells at me.

And...

he’s in love...

with someone else.

And he’s always making me wait for him.

But still,

he always...

makes me happy.

While at the same time

breaking my heart.

I’m really strange, huh?

LEE YEONG-JAE IS IN A SLUMP

Hello?

Yes, how are you?

The reviews for Yeong-jae’s movie are not very good.

I heard there are theaters already showing another film.

The movie itself wasn’t that interesting,

but Yeong-jae getting married at such a young age didn’t help.

I heard it’s getting hard to renew his commercial contracts, too.

We had to pay a penalty when he got married,

and now with the movie not doing well,

it’s getting harder.

Ji-eun!

Ji-eun!

Were you waiting long for me?

No.

I didn’t wait at all. I was just walking out when I saw you.

If that was the case, I should’ve come home later.

What?

But why were you waiting? Were you waiting for me to cook for you?

Of course, I was waiting for you to cook for me,

why else would I wait for you?

Did you clean and do everything else I asked you to do?

Clean?

Can’t you tell? It’s so clean.

It’s nothing like when you clean.

Did you...

tell Min-hyuk?

Tell him what?

That you...

can like him...

Yes.

What did he say?

What can he say? He thanked me.

I’ve decided to see Min-hyuk,

so don’t worry about me.

Who is worried about you?

I just wanted to tell you that I hope it works out for you guys..

Yes, it will work out!

Go ahead!

That’s what I’m saying, things will work out!

That’s what I’m saying! I hope things work out with you two!

It will! It will work out and I'll make sure of it!

Hey, Ji-eun.

Hey, what’s wrong with you?

What are you talking about?

Why are you getting mad at me?

When did I get mad at you?

What do you mean when? Like right now!

I did everything you told me to.

I told you to date Min-hyuk as you pleased.

I agreed to everything you wanted on the contract.

Why are you so upset? Huh?

I’m not mad at you about anything.

Then what’s wrong? Why are you being like this?

It’s because of work.

It looks like I’m going to be busy. I’ve decided to write a screenplay.

What? You’re going to write a screenplay?

They liked my synopsis, so they asked me to write the screenplay.

Oh my, our chicken.

I mean our Cock a doodle doo a is really something.

I thought you were always getting cut, but now you’re writing a screenplay?

So, since you’re not busy, you can do the cooking, the laundry,

and all the other housework.

No, that won’t happen.

You don’t have to pay me a salary anymore, okay?

What?

So from now on, don’t ask me to cook.

I am no longer your rice cooker.

Oh, and if you call me Cock a doodle doo one more time,

you’re dead!

Hey, Ji-eun, did you clean up what you ate?

I’m going to do it later.

Hey, what do you mean later? Just clean it up now.

It’s up to me when I clean it up.

And, I’m no longer your housekeeper,

so don’t tell me what to do.

It really bothers me.

What?

Hey!

Do you want me to give you a raise?

What?

I don’t know how much they’re paying you for your screenplay,

but I’ll give you a raise,

so hurry up and make me something to eat.

Even if you gave me like a billion won, I will never cook for you again.

Goodness...

It was going so well. Why is she being like this?

Maybe it’s cyclical.

Ji-eun, let’s talk.

I’m busy.

Even still, let’s talk.

Go ahead. I can listen while I work.

I admit...

I took advantage of you in the past.

But after renewing our contract

I've gotten better.

You admit that, right?

And I think there is another reason you are going full on strike.

A reason I don't know.

I really don't know the reason,

but from now on

I’ll cook.

I’ll also do the laundry

and cleaning.

Since my dear wife is working, I will do my husbandly duties.

I hope my contribution

will help you write a screen play

which will revolutionize the Korean film industry.

And as a sign of good faith,

why don’t we have a light dinner with bean paste stew, okay?

Yeong-jae, what’s wrong? What happened?

My finger.

Are you hurt? Let me see.

Go away.

Let me see. Is it serious?

What should we do. Let’s go to the hospital.

I have to dial 911. What is the number? Wait.

No, you'd better get on my back.

Hurry up and get on, we’ve got to go to the hospital.

How can I get on your back? I cut my finger off.

-You’ve got to find my finger first. -Oh! Blood!

-It hurts! -What should I do? Oh no!

I don’t know. Yeong-jae, where is your finger?

I can’t see it. What are we going to do?

Look carefully.

What should we do. I don’t know. Oh, my gosh!

Look carefully.

They say fingers rot more quickly in the summer.

What will I do?

I don’t know. It’s not here.

What are we going to do? Oh, no!

If you had just cooked like I told you to,

we could’ve avoided this tragedy.

What? Cooked?

Just kidding.

Don’t rebel anymore and just cook, okay?

If you ever joke around like that again.

I’ll make it so you won’t be able to use that finger ever again.

But are you on some kind of cycle of rebellion?

What?

I thought we were getting over you

packing up your things and leaving,

but then you write up

some kind of schedule

and make me talk to you by sticking memos on the fridge.

What’s wrong with you? You do this every two weeks.

Do you hate cooking that much?

It’s not the cooking,

it’s being treated like I’m nothing more than a cook.

What?

Hey, do you know how great a rice cooker is?

You can’t make rice without a rice cooker.

If you can’t eat rice, you can’t live. You die.

A rice cooker is very important,

so a rice cooker should be proud.

I hope I’ll be able to do a commercial for rice cookers.

Yeong-jae.

What?

Does it really not bother you at all

that I’m meeting Min-hyuk?

You don’t feel anything at all?

What?

Feel what?

I feel totally fine.

I don’t feel anything.

To be honest,

three years is too long.

But...

it’s not as long as the time you’ve waited for me.

And...

that could get shortened, right?

Right?

Well,

I don’t know.

If it does get shortened.

I don’t know how much shorter it would get.

That...

I can’t promise.

Still,

it would be the best thing for the both of you

to find your places again

as soon as possible.

Hye-won.

Yes?

The place Ji-eun is at now...

It’s her place.

No.

That's not what I...

That’s not what I meant.

I know.

Then promise me one thing

Promise me...

that you’ll give me all of the feelings you have for Ji-eun.

Can you promise me that?

Yes, I promise.

I'd better go.

Okay.

Right.

My mom sent something for your parents.

If I ask you to take it, you won’t like it, right?

Yes.

Okay.

I’ll take it myself.

You should go.

Okay, I’ll see you later.

Hello?

Grandmother? How are you?

Yes.

I took all the medicine.

Yes.

I feel strong.

Yes.

Sure. I'll go and help you in the garden.

Okay.

Grandmother.

Grandmother.

-My goodness. -This is great.

I like it so much.

So...

Is this the hottest trend in France?

Yes, it is, Grandmother.

Is that so?

Your dad didn’t have to send me anything.

He could’ve just met with me when he got back.

They’re just grateful for all you did when I was sick.

You’re not a stranger to us.

You didn’t have to go to so much trouble.

Grandmother.

-Oh, you’re here, Ji-eun. -You’re here.

Hello.

Oh, Three Bears is here. How do I look?

Ji-eun.

-You know Hye-won, right? -Yes.

Hello.

Yes, hello.

That looks much better on you since you’re young.

You like it that much?

You seem to be too excited.

It looks wonderful on you.

-Do I look nice? -Yes.

I should buy a hat to go with this outfit.

You should.

Thanks so much.

Yeong-jae...

has decided...

to take me.

I don’t ever want to lose him again.

To be honest,

three years seems like

such a long time, but...

It’s not as long as the time that Yeong-jae has waited for me.

The three years...

Unless Yeong-jae terminates the contract,

there is nothing I can do.

I understand.

I’m not urging you to.

I’m not impatient.

If the two of you have no feelings

it’s nothing but a contract deal.

It doesn’t matter to me.

Dong-uk. Hui-jin.

-Doesn’t that sound like Ji-eun? -Really?

Oh, you guys are home.

Oh, hi.

Hi, Ji-eun. What are you doing here?

How much money do you guys have?

What? Why suddenly money?

Bring me everything you have.

We don’t have any money. You know that.

You got paid from gluing the eyes on the dolls.

What? I barely made anything from that.

Anyway, bring me all the money you have.

But why?

I’ve got to pay Yeong-jae’s money back.

You should be getting alimony, why would you pay him?

Because I’m going to give him alimony and divorce him first, why?

Hey.

Where did you go?

I went to your parent’s house.

Again?

You really like my parent’s house, huh?

Yes, I do.

It would’ve been better if I hadn’t.

What?

It’s nothing. Did you eat?

Of course not.

Okay. I’ll make you something as soon as I change.

Do you want me to tell you a funny story?

A funny story?

Do you know what you call a cow that twitches?

-What? -Beef jerky!

Do you know what they call

a bear with no teeth?

Gummy bear!

And do you know what they call

a deer with no eyes?

No eye-deer!

Hey, what are you doing?

What? Isn’t it funny?

Funny?

Don’t go around making jokes like this. They’ll all think you’re crazy.

That’s weird, I thought it was funny.

Ji-eun.

There’s something going on, huh?

No, there’s nothing going on.

Something happened at my parent’s house, huh?

Did my grandmother scold you?

No, I didn’t get into trouble.

Did my dad say something? Or did my mom say something?

No, they didn’t say anything.

Oh, from now on, you can call me whatever you want.

Rice cooker, bird, chicken. Whatever you want,

It doesn’t matter to me anymore.

Hey, what’s this? I thought it was toast on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays?

You said you didn’t want toast. I’ll make rice from now on.

Ji-eun, bring me a glass of cold water. Make sure it's cold.

Okay.

Hey, Ji-eun.

Yes?

I want ice water. Water with lots of ice.

Okay.

Hey, Ji-eun.

Hey, Ji-eun.

Hey, Ji-eun.

Hey, Ji-eun.

Stop writing that screenplay that's going nowhere and clean the house.

The floor is such a mess.

Okay.

Ji-eun.

Stop cleaning and sing “Three Bears.”

What?

What? You don’t want to?

Three bears live together in one house

Daddy bear, mommy bear, baby bear

Hey, do the dance, too.

Three bears live together in one house

Daddy bear, mommy bear, baby bear

Hey! Ji-eun!

What’s going on with you?

What? What do you mean?

Why are you making me feel so uneasy? Why are you singing “Three Bears”?

Are you going to do everything I tell you?

Hey, did you do something wrong? It’s because you did something wrong, huh?

What do you mean?

It’s just that

there aren’t that many days left to do things for you,

so I’ve decided to do whatever you want. I’m going to do whatever you tell me to.

Hey, are you going somewhere?

What, did you think I was going to live with you forever?

What?

Hey! What happened to your ring?

Where’s your ring?

I knew it! I totally knew it!

You were afraid I was going to get mad

so you couldn’t say anything and you sang “Three Bears”, right?

What?

Do you know how much that cost?

You couldn’t buy it even if you saved up a year’s worth of salary.

Anyway, it’s not about the money.

You said we couldn’t just buy another ring.

I thought you said it was our promise.

And you made such a big deal

about me losing my ring.

How can everything you do be so much like a rice cooker.

Hey, go get a pen.

It’s pretty, right?

Draw a watch for me, too. Make it prettier than the last one.

Okay, now I’m going to watch with a comfortable heart, so sing “Three Bears.”

Sing!

This is the next report that’s going out.

MAIN ARTICLES (SEPTEMBER)

MOVIE STAR, LEE YEONG-JAE WHO IS THE REAL BRIDE?

What is this?

It hasn’t been confirmed yet.

But you know there were rumors before he got married.

There was a report

by some of the employees at the restaurant

he reportedly proposed at,

so I looked into it and there were things that didn’t match up.

It was a little awkward since he is your friend,

but it’s such a big story.

I thought it would be better

that we get it out before the other magazines do.

Hooray! It’s finished! It’s done!

Ji-eun.

Did you finish it?

You’re really something, my little chicken--

Geez, you’re so petty.

I can tell that it will be boring even if I don't read it.

What could I expect from a chicken?

Yeong-jae.

Today is D-day.

What? What D-day?

You’ll find out later.

It’s not anything good so it’s better to wait.

Don't move a finger until I get back and wait here.

It’s good.

Really?

It’s good for a first draft.

It will get better with a few more rewrites.

You did a good job in such a short time.

It was worth the wait.

Thank you.

What do you mean, “thank you”? I’m grateful.

Thank you for writing a good story.

You’re welcome.

We need to celebrate tonight.

JI-EUN

COCK A DOODLE DOO

CHICKEN

What’s wrong? Do you have a prior engagement?

No, that’s not it.

It’s D-day today.

What? D-day?

It’s a secret.

Then should we push the celebration to another time?

No, that’s okay. Let’s do it today.

-Will it be okay? -Yes.

Hello? Ji-eun?

Why aren’t you home?

I think I’m going to be late,

so don’t wait for me to eat.

No. You have to eat dinner here.

Just come home,

I’ve got something to show you.

I don’t know. Just know that I’m going to wait for you so do what you want.

Do you want me to tell you a funny story?

Yes?

Do you know what you call a cow that twitches?

-What? -Beef jerky!

Do you know what they call

a bear with no teeth?

I don't know.

Gummy bear!

And do you know what they call a deer with no eyes?

I don’t know.

No eye-deer!

When I told Yeong-jae that, he didn’t laugh at all.

Then...

should I not laugh?

Excuse me?

I’ve been getting very upset lately

because of you.

What? Because of me?

I asked Yeong-jae

what it was he could do

for Hye-won.

I said, "There is nothing you can do.

So just leave her be."

I feel like Yeong-jae’s paying me back for saying that.

It seems there is nothing I can do for you.

That’s not true.

You take me to these wonderful places to eat, you buy me flowers and laugh

even when I tell you

these stupid things and...

And when I’m having a hard time, you’re always there for me.

I know you’re waiting for me

and I’m grateful.

And that’s why, to be honest,

I like you a little, too.

A little?

No.

A little more than that.

So, I still have a chance?

Yes, so you should do your best.

Practice laughing even when it’s not funny.

...so cute

They are

So good together

Yeong-jae.

Yeong-jae.

Ji-eun.

Ji-eun.

I wonder

if Yeong-jae’s still waiting for me.

Well,

it’s a little late, isn’t it?

Instead of going home

why don't we hang out some more?

Excuse me?

It’s just that I want to punish Yeong-jae.

You’re punishing Yeong-jae?

Yes.

I want to him to wait for me.

Until now, it’s always been me waiting for him.

He said he would wait until I got home, but I guess he’s not here.

I always waited out here until he got home.

I wanted him to get a taste of his own medicine, but it failed.

Go on in.

Okay. Goodbye.

JI-EUN, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST SCREENPLAY

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIRTH OF THE BIRD WRITER!

Yeong-jae.

Wake up.

Ji-eun.

I thought you would be waiting up for me. How could you just sleep?

I wasn’t sleeping, I was just thinking

about something right here.

Hey, what time is it?

Why are you home so late?

I told you I was going to have dinner and come home late.

I told you to come home early because I would be waiting.

All right, I’m sorry.

But what did you want to show me.

What?

You said you had something to show me.

I don’t anymore.

There’s nothing.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations on the completion of Ji-eun’s first screenplay!

You scared me!

You do this, too.

No, you do it.

Don’t be like that, just do it. You said you would throw me a party.

So, who told you to come home at this hour?

Why are you so shameless?

Aren’t you even sorry?

No, I’m not sorry.

I came home late on purpose tonight.

What?

All these times it was me who had to wait for you,

so I wanted to punish you I came home late on purpose.

What?

Right.

And I told you today was D-day, right?

I have something to tell you.

What? What is it?

Here, take this.

Hey, you found the ring?

Where did you find it?

I am...

returning it to you.

We should...

get a divorce.

What?

What do you mean what? Let’s just get a divorce.

Why are you suddenly saying that? Did you eat something bad?

I gathered all the money I have,

but it didn’t amount to much.

When I get paid for the screenplay,

I’ll give you that, too.

Let’s just get a divorce.

Hey.

If you ask for a divorce first, you don’t get Full House.

You know that.

Then...

are you going to make your dear Hye-won

wait three years?

What?

Let’s just end it here

and divorce under good terms for each other.

No, I’m not getting a divorce.

What?

Why not?

Just because. It’s up to me, why?

How can you say it’s up to you?

Then what are you going to do

if my parents and grandmother go into shock?

Are you going to take responsibility?

Grandmother, your dad,

and your mom like Hye-won.

You have nothing to worry about.

What?

So...

let’s just get a divorce, okay?

Why are you suddenly being like this?

Are you rebelling again?

Is it because you don’t want to cook? Then don’t cook.

That’s not why.

I just...

can’t live with you anymore.

Why?

Did Min-hyuk tell you to hurry up and get a divorce?

What?

Hey.

You’re really a piece of work.

Do you want to divorce me because of Min-hyuk?

Forget it.

Just forget it.

We’ll just forget it

and you do whatever you want.

See Min-hyuk or some other guy. I don't care!

But...

No divorce.

I’m sorry.

That’s not it.

That’s not it...

I’m falling for you.

What?

I really...

I really like you Yeong-jae.

I like you...

Are you joking? Was that a joke?

You’re out of line. Do you know that, Ji-eun?

Don’t laugh.

Can’t you see me?

Don’t you see that I’m hurting?

I’m hurting too much.

I don’t think I can do this anymore.

Please, let’s just stop.

Let’s just end it, please?

You idiot.

You still shouldn’t have said you like me.

If you say that,

then I really can’t be with you.

I know.

So let’s get a divorce.

Divorce me...

and go to Hye-won.

Let’s get a divorce.

I’m sorry, Ji-eun.

I can no longer...

be with you.

Let’s get a divorce.

What did I do that was so wrong?

What did I do?

OUR CONTRACT DIDN'T INCLUDE LOVE

I'M HAVING A HARD TIME AS MUCH AS YOU ARE

DON'T BE MAD!

Yeong-jae. Don’t be mad, anymore, okay?

Just hit me and get over it.

Hit me once and let’s put it behind us. Go on and hit me.

No, get away from me.

-Go on and hit me. -No, get away from me.

-Just hit me once. -No.

NEXT EPISODE

FINE! LET'S BREAK UP!

Soon, articles on your wedding will be published everywhere.

Before that happens, let her go.

I won’t let Ji-eun get hurt.

I WILL NOT LET HER GET HURT

I’m going to protect her.
