(All characters, organizations,
and events in this drama are fictitious.)

I'm fine.

You can have it. It's good.

The suspect put sleeping pills in
a drink and drugged the victim...

Aren't you going to drink it?

Why? Do you think I drugged it?

What?

We shouldn't have listened
to the news.

Don't you trust me?

Drink it if you trust me.
If you don't, don't drink it.

It's so good.

You should wash your hands too.

Right.

Mom, have you eaten?

I just got a bite in.

I know you're on a business trip,

but I'm worried.

I had a nightmare last night.

Stay safe, okay?

Don't worry, Mom.
I'll look after myself.

- What was that?
- What do you mean?

It seemed as though
you were putting something in.

Did you see that?

It's good for your health.

It looked like some sort of powder.

What on earth
do you think I put in there?

It was collagen.

Collagen?

You should take care
of your skin too.

It looks delicious. Let's eat.

The noodles are nice and chewy.

What's wrong?

I don't think
my stomach is up for it.

But you're the one
who wanted cold raw fish soup.

Do you think I spiked the soup?

Of course not.

I'll be the prime suspect
if anything happens to you.

I may have let my friend
steal my husband away,

but I'm not an idiot.

See? It's collagen.

I didn't add any in mine
since I had some this morning.

(May our friendship last forever.
Cho Eun Kang, Han Ba Da)

(May our friendship last forever.
Cho Eun Kang, Han Ba Da)

I feel refreshed.

You should shower too
so that we can drink.

Sure.

What's wrong?

The floor...

Are you all right?

The floor was slippery.

I spilled some oil earlier,

and I forgot to tell you.

I hope you weren't injured.

I'm fine.

Who may you be...

and why are you lurking
around my house?

Apart from the hair loss,
you look pretty much the same.

Living the good life
must have done wonders for you.

Do you know me?

You must not remember me.

Before your daughter got married,

she was involved with
a Chinese restaurant delivery man.

I was the one who told you that.

So what brings you by?

I showed this to your son-in-law,
but he won't take action.

Please stop your daughter.

Why can't the two
stay away from each other?

Goodness.

My gosh.

Mr. Ko, I ran over
as soon as I got your call.

Actually, I drove my cab here.

- You needed 10 million won.
- Right.

What I want in return
is your service.

My service?

There's someone
who got on my nerves...

about 20 years ago.

He's back at it again.

Who dares to get on your nerves?

Is he someone you met
while running your business?

That's not something
you need to know.

For now,

just rough him up.

Don't lay him out flat, though.
Just teach him a lesson.

Sorry?

Get this done for me,
and I'll pay 10 million won.

It won't be a loan. I'll pay you.

Goodness.

Mr. Ko, I'm not
as gutsy as you think,

and I haven't indulged
in any illegal acts.

You won't get caught.

He couldn't report you to the cops.

Trust me and get it done.

It's 10 million won.

Mr. Ko,

can't you just lend me the money?
I don't think I can...

You'll be getting the money for free.

Actually, I'm not getting
that money for free.

I'll be committing a crime.

Sir, I desperately need the money.
But I can't hurt someone.

I'm sorry. I'll get going first.

Hey, come on.

Hey, Joo Dae Bong.

Joo?

I think it was Cho Dae Bong.

Was I that popular?

I was so sick of it.

I ran the errands
for all the boys too.

They awkwardly approached me.

"Can you give this to Ba Da?"

Seriously.

I was so jealous.

- Were you?
- Of course.

You grew up in a nice family,
so you didn't have a dark side.

But I was dark and twisted.
Like the twisted donut.

You gave them my number
and got free twisted donuts.

A few times.

I had the most fun in high school
in my entire life.

We used to secretly exchange
notes during class.

We found everything so funny
back then.

We got caught, and our teacher
punished us side by side.

When we were getting punished,
we cracked up and got punished more.

Seriously. We used to laugh
whenever we had the chance.

I skipped going to my cram school
and went to your house to hang out.

But after high school,

I can't remember any fun moments.

I don't know why I miss the past.

Right.

Why did you do it?

I'm 37 years old.

And I was with you
for more than half my lifetime.

You had been with me
every single moment of my life.

Even now,

losing you was the most
painful thing I went through.

More painful than losing my husband.

Even now, when I wake up,

you're the first person I think of.

I do too.

Whenever I wake up,
you're the first person I think of.

"Will she text? Or call?"

"Does she need me to run an errand?
Is there anything I can do to help?"

I was drunk the last time we talked.

Forget all the bad things
I said to you.

I really wanted to be more like you.

And I envied you.

Then at one point,
this idea was planted in me.

Once it was planted,
I couldn't go back.

At that moment, I felt as if...

I had been under some kind of spell.

That day,

if the lipstick didn't roll
under your feet...

and if we didn't become friends...

I'm sorry, Ba Da.

I ruined everything.

To be honest, this whole trip
made me feel anxious and nervous.

"What will she say?"

"Will she scold me?"

"If she hits me, I'll let her."

All kinds of thoughts
crossed my mind.

You weren't scared that
I might kill you?

If that was what you wanted,
I couldn't have stopped you.

There's no knife.

What?

It's gone?

Did you drop it in the car?

Why do you want a knife?

You said you couldn't stop me
if I wanted to kill you.

Why would you say something
you didn't mean then?

I was going to eat an apple.

Then let's go with plan B.

Plan B?

Let's go out.

Let's get some fresh air
by the beach.

We should see the sunrise too.

It'll be cold.

How cold could it be?

We can't go back
without seeing the sunrise.

Get dressed.

Okay.

The suspect even gave
the victim alcohol.

The suspect then led the intoxicated
victim to the beach...

What are you doing?

What?

Are you scared that I might push you
into the water and drown you?

If you were to fall into the water
and drown,

what would they say on the news?

"A 37-year-old woman, Cho,"

"coveted the husband
of her friend of 20 years."

"She was found drowned to death."

Would that be it?

Don't be scared.

You're good at swimming anyway.

Don't worry. I won't kill you.

Let's go out.

Okay.

You brought the necklace, right?

Yes.

You should throw it too.

I'll throw mine.

This is the end of our friendship.

Let's put an end
to our 20 years together.

Thank you for coming on this trip.

Take care.

You too.

I know you'll save your business.

I know you'll be successful again.

I must.

Let's go back separately.

I'll go back to the hotel first,
pack my stuff, and leave.

Can I...

hug you one last time?

Ba Da.

You were...

the best friend I had.

I'm sorry for hurting you.

Thank you for everything.

I'll never forget you.

(Police of Dreams and Hope,
Safe and Happy Citizens)

Can you reduce the settlement money?

I have never made that much money
in my life.

Well,

can you lower it to 3 million won?

Please.

I don't have any money.

Why don't you just sell me off then?

No one wants to buy you.
Why do you keep saying that?

You know how hard he worked
to be a private taxi driver.

Whatever.

Will you take your money
to the coffin?

I'd be happy if I had money
to take to my coffin.

Ban Sook, if you keep this up...

What?

I bet you wouldn't give me money
even if I get a terminal illness.

How can I trust you to have my back?

I'm so sick of you!

What took you so long?

I had been sick of you ages ago.

Dae Geun is all he cares about.

I'll give you 5 million won for now.

I'll give you the rest
once the deed is done.

Understood?

Can you write a contract for me?

You can't leave a paper trail.

Sometimes, you can be so dense.

Don't you trust me?

I don't trust the world.

But...

I'll trust you.

By the way,

who is this man?
I have to know who he is...

You can't know who he is.

Seriously. I'm so lonely.

Then how many times
should I punch him?

Hello?

It's been a while.

I need to talk to you about Geum Ah.

Meet me without telling anyone.

Not even Geum Ah.

Okay.

I'll be there.

Take a picture for proof.

Dae Geun?

Dae Geun!

Dae Geun, what happened?

Dae Geun, wake up.

Dae Geun, it's me.

Hey...

Don't die.

Or I'll scold you.

Dae Geun...

Stay still. I'll call an ambulance.

Dae Geun...

Don't.

You could get arrested.

Don't die.

Dae Geun, please stay with me.

Dae Geun.

Dae Geun?

Dae Geun!

(Divorce Papers)

There. Be careful.

Careful.

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

I was so startled
when I took the call last night.

You must be unlucky this year.

Things keep happening to you.

Thank goodness you didn't die.

You should've been careful,
especially with your head.

- Did you get a CT scan?
- Yes.

You know, I have a hard skull.
They said I was okay.

Are you sure
you got into a car accident?

You look like you got beaten up.

- No, that's not true.
- No, that's not true.

Did you have to say that together
at the same time?

Well, let's go inside.
You should lie down.

Uncle, take care of yourself.

Does he seem like
he got beaten up to you?

Yes.

Did he get into a fight
or something?

I guess spring is coming.

It already has.

Some forsythias
have blossomed already.

I washed the blankets thanks to you.

You should do laundry this big
at a laundromat.

You know my father.

"Why bother?
We have a washing machine at home."

"Gosh, I'm so lonely."

"Gosh, I'm so lonely."

It's jujube tea.

Thanks for today.

You even helped me
with the spring cleaning.

Cha Won's house needs
a big cleaning too.

I'm going to do it
before I go to work.

Eun Kang, please understand
why I was so cold to you.

I had my circumstances.

I know.

I've known you for ten years.

You're always amiable and shrewd.

No wonder my mom wants you
to be her daughter-in-law.

And it's about to come true.

I think you and my brother
make a great couple.

Like my father says,
get married next year.

Thank you.

Are you in touch
with Mi Poong's mom?

- I am.
- Really?

She suggested a trip,
so we went on it yesterday.

We had a long conversation...

and buried the hatchet.

Really? I didn't think
she'd be that cool.

I mean, it wouldn't have been easy.

You better be good to her.

I'm planning to give her a gift
when I get my first paycheck.

Do that.

No wonder why you seemed bright.

I don't want to lose
a good man like you.

(Cho Eun Kang)

Ta-da. I finally found Ddolbang.

Where are you?
Are you at the hospital?

Yes, I'm a little busy.

Mom!

Mi Poong!

Mom, I can't breathe.

Wait.

Just a little longer.

Have you been well? Did you miss me?

Yes, isn't Grandma coming?

She's being treated at a hospital.

I wish she wouldn't come.

I hate it when she hits Auntie.

Don't say that.

She's been like that ever since
she saw your mother hit Eun Kang.

Mom, are you back for good?

I'm back from Italy,

but I have to stay at school.

I'll come and see you
once every few days...

until I finish my studies.

Is that okay?

You can focus on studying.

I have Auntie, so it's okay.

This is a gift for you.

How exciting!

I want to stop by home for a bit.

Okay.

Where's the plunger?

What did you do?

I played on a trampoline
and played house with Ji Eun.

Do that with me next time.

I'd love to!

You're so excited.

Are you happy to see me?

Yes, I'm really happy.

Oh, my.

Is it pretty? Do you like it?

You're the best, Mom!

You can wear it by yourself, right?
Go get changed.

She's still the same.

Were you cleaning?

Yes.

I seem like
I'm back from Italy, right?

Don't let Mi Poong notice.

And stop frowning.

It's so clean.

It's almost spotless.

I guess
you clean the house every day.

Did you change the sheets?

Yes, this morning.

I see.

Even a linen spray?

Don't tell me...

you did it for me.

Don't get too serious. I was joking.

Others might think we are strangers.

Oh, my.

Is this Ddolbang?

I bought it just in case.

Don't give her all at once.

It should be one by one.

I'll do it.

It's been a long time...

feeling this way.

What did this happen to us?

Everyone was jealous
of how dear we were to each other.

Should I sleep over here today?

I signed the divorce papers,
but you're still my man.

A new bed sheet. A linen mist.

This vibe somewhat makes me flutter.

Just like when we first met.

Tell me. Should I sleep over?

I have...

dinner plans today.

I can wait.

I might be late. I'll be drinking.

I don't care. I can wait.

Mom!

Okay.

Mi Poong's just like you.

She's a bigmouth and dense.

Mi Poong, you're so pretty!

Mi Poong, you're the best.

Mi Poong, your mom's busy.

Let's say goodbye for today.

I can stay longer.

I need to get going.

I was going to leave her
with my parents.

I'll come and visit sometime.

Let's go eat something good
next time.

Okay. Let's go.

Come on.

Say goodbye. "Bye-bye."

Come again. Goodbye.

Okay.

I'll get going.
Leave my luggage in your trunk.

Mi Poong,
you should go and get changed.

You can wear this to kindergarten.

Come out.

I told you to call me
before you came over.

I came to return Ddolbang
and decided to clean up a bit.

Do you know how nervous I was?

May I ask what happened?

She said she wanted to come
and see Mi Poong.

I didn't tell you because I didn't
want you to take it the wrong way.

You already made that happen.

I'd like you to be honest
and tell me things in advance.

I'm sorry.

You should leave
before Mi Poong sees you.

You never know
what she'll tell her mom.

Okay.

Ms. Cho Eun Kang?

- Is Ms. Cho Eun Kang here?
- Who is it?

I have registered mail.

Gosh, I have a cramp.

The door's open.

Cho Eun Kang isn't here,
but I'm her mom.

I'm Yang Ban Sook.

- Can you sign here?
- Sure.

Your front gate falls off the hinge.

It always does that.
Just leave it and go.

Goodbye!

(From Han Ba Da,
To Cho Eun Kang)

My gosh. This is driving me crazy.

- Come out!
- Be careful.

Is there a ringing in your head?

No, there isn't.

Be careful.

Do you want me to bring it
to your room?

It's not that bad.

People would think
you had a kid or something.

When it comes to your brother...

He almost died because of me.

It's my fault for not having
a younger brother.

You almost killed your brother
while trying to save him.

Have some rice.

- Oh, it's not rice. It's porridge.
- I'm not hungry.

You don't eat because you're hungry.

You eat to survive.

You should have a bite,
so you can take your medicine.

I bought beef to make your porridge.

I didn't just buy beef porridge
from the store.

If you say that,
it sounds like you bought it.

What nonsense is that?

Do the dishes after you eat.

I'm going to the supermarket.

Go ahead.

I'm so sorry.

I'm glad you didn't die.

Why would I die?

I still have so much to live for.

What kind of twist of fate is this?

I never imagined you'd be connected
to that old man's daughter.

Why would you go and meet him
because he asked you to?

This happened 18 years ago too.

I went out knowing
I'd get beaten up.

I thought that would be the only way
to resolve this.

You should've shouted for help.

You didn't make a sound.

What's the point?

It'll only make the person
hitting me feel worse.

Your hits were quite strong.

I know how to take hits,

but I could barely handle yours.

I regretted playing baseball
for the first time.

This wretched life.

Uncle. You have a guest.

Honey. What's wrong?

- Gosh!
- My gosh!

What happened to him?
Did he get into an accident?

I told you not to drive a taxi.

I told you I'd make enough
for both of us.

Was it you?

Did you rat me out?

- What?
- You ratted me out 18 years ago!

You told them where I lived!

Dae Bong, tell her to leave.

Imagine how I felt
to have done that.

Listen here.

He ended up like this
because of you,

so how dare you
show your face around here?

Get out.
I'll take care of my brother,

so get out!

What nonsense is that?

Why would you take care of him
when he has his wife?

His ex-wife.

She follows him around like this
because she likes him so much.

- Dae Geun...
- That will never happen.

I told you we'd never
get together again.

Don't make me mad and just leave.

I've decided to spend
the rest of my life with her.

What?

Do you want to die?

Once you get involved
with that family, you're dead meat.

Do you think that old man
will be okay with it?

I'm not scared.

You never know
when you're going to die,

so I want to live with that woman.

I don't care if he kills me or not!

What's wrong with you, Honey?

I won't allow it.

Even if the world ends tomorrow,

I refuse to let you die.

You can't die before me.

Don't you know why I got beat up?

I wanted to call it even
by getting beaten up!

You don't know how I feel!

Cho Dae Geun. Come to your senses!

If you lived a pitiful life
since you were young,

you should
at least live properly now!

I'm doing this
because I want to live properly!

Don't count your chickens
before they hatch!

Did she say she'd get a divorce
and come to you?

I met her husband,

and he will never get divorced.

It's my life. Stay out of it.

Both of you stay out of it!

Your life?

You want me to stay out of it?

Why did you hit him?

How dare you hit my husband?

You little brat.

How dare you push my husband?

You shouldn't say that
to your brother.

You know he cares more about you
than his own kids.

My gosh. There's nothing you can do
when someone goes crazy over a girl.

Honey!

Gosh.

I think
I should go home early today.

Go ahead.

You were fine for a while,
but I guess it's flaring up again.

I'll finish up here
and report it to you.

Hold on.

Who are you?

Do you know Cho Dae Geun?

I'm his older brother.

Come here for a second.

Don't see...

Dae Geun anymore.

I'm sorry,

but we're getting together
after I get divorced.

As long as I'm alive,
I won't allow it.

I can't see my poor brother die.

Die? What do you mean?

When did you see Dae Geun last?

We were supposed to meet today,
but he said he had a cold...

and that we should meet
another time.

What's wrong with him?
What happened?

How hurt is he?

Your father...

hired people to beat him up.

My father?

My father doesn't know
we're seeing each other.

Of course, he knows.

This isn't the first time either.

What do you mean?

On the day of your marriage,

didn't you and Dae Geun...

plan to run away after the wedding?

That night,
your father hired some thugs...

to beat Dae Geun to a pulp.

He was half dead
and passed out in front of my house.

If I didn't see him at dawn
on my way out,

Dae Geun...

wouldn't be alive today.

Because he hurt his back that day,

he hasn't been able to do
any work that requires labor.

I can't allow it anymore.

I got hurt working in construction.

If you care about my brother,
let him go.

His only sin is being poor...

and being uneducated.

If he cherishes his own child,

he should know to cherish
other children too.

How much better are you than him...

to ruin his life like this?

Father!

Come here!

What's wrong with her?

- What's wrong?
- What did you do Cho Dae Geun?

You hired thugs to beat him up
18 years ago,

and he hurt his back.

This time, he split his head open.

Wait... What are you talking about?

- I don't understand.
- Stay out of this, Mom.

- I'm home...
- Why did you do it?

Why did you do something so scary?

What is it
that you wanted to protect? Money?

Did you do something like that...

to protect the money you saved up?

You didn't marry me off
to Nam Chul for my sake.

When you stopped me
from divorcing him after his affair,

it wasn't for my sake.

It was to protect your assets.

I won't live according
to your will anymore.

I lived according to your wishes
up until now,

but I won't be your doll anymore.

Wait... What are you talking about?

Can you help me understand?

I was forced to break up
with him because of you,

and I married the wrong person.

I had two kids with him,
but I lived as an empty shell with him.

I want to divorce him.

I want to live the rest of my life
with that man.

I don't need your inheritance!

I don't want to be
your daughter anymore.

Give up on me,

and let this man live with
that young wench.

I'm going to pack my things
and move out!

Based on what I just heard,
this is all your fault.

My daughter changed
because you cheated on her.

It seems like she started seeing
someone else because you cheated,

so you should take responsibility
for it.

Does it feel good to divide
a daughter from her dad?

Get on your knees
and beg for her forgiveness upstairs.

Why are you just standing there?

Go up and comfort her!

I'll leave.

What?

Don't pour gasoline on a fire
and just stay quiet!

I'll leave.

You don't have anywhere to go.

Do you have money?

I don't have anywhere to go
nor do I have any money.

I already knew...

she was seeing someone.

I even made the effort
to make her come back to me.

I pleaded with her,

and I even asked her boyfriend
to let her go.

But I'm at my limit.

Since this is how we are,

we will go our separate ways.

- What has gotten into you?
- I can't take it anymore!

The humiliation and shame
I felt as a man?

I only tolerated it...

for our children.

I put up with it year after year,

and I made it this far
by letting you walk all over my pride.

But I can't do it anymore.

We will handle
the legal matter gradually.

When I first came here,

I didn't even have
a single new pair of underpants,

and that is how
I'll leave this house.

You're not kicking me out.

I'm leaving on my own accord.

Goodbye.

But... Hey!

Nam Chul, wait!

My gosh. Mul Sang!

Mul Sang.

- Goodness.
- Gosh.

Hurrah!

I'm going to have to ask you
to delete the video.

Please know that
I can press charges.

- Hello.
- Welcome.

As if you have anywhere to go.
You're broke, aren't you?

You might die inside at this rate.

You've lived your life
putting on a facade,

but this is what came of
your hard-working life.

Did you devote your life
to a taffy vendor...

just to end up in this state?

Your daughter
stabbed you in the back,

and your son-in-law
exploded in your face.

Life was for nothing,
and you must be lonely.

Gosh, I'm lonely.

Where's Geum Ah?

She packed her bag
but then the other one left,

so she went back upstairs to unpack.

I don't get her, though.

Why is she back
with her ex-boyfriend?

And I was the only one
who was in the dark.

I also can't believe Nam Chul.

As if leaving this house
will do him any good.

He's brazen for someone who's broke.

Just you wait and see.

He'll come back
begging for forgiveness.

Hey.

Why did you sleep out here
instead of coming in?

Right. I got here too late
and couldn't wake you up.

Why did you come here late at night?

Well, I took time off from work.

I couldn't even
call in advance though.

Good for you.
You should get a break too.

Clear your head
and rest all you want.

Thanks, Nam Soon.

Dad will be delighted.
Let's go inside.

I bought a few snacks for Dad.

Why did you buy so much
when you're broke?

I have money.

Dad, it's Nam Chul.

You didn't eat, though.
Will you be all right?

Food isn't the issue right now.

The company needs a boss present.

How else will I know
who's tanking my business?

What is it, Mr. Lee?

What?

(Authorized personnel only.
Enter at your own risk.)

(This building
is planned for demolition.)

(Three Brothers Resources Corp.)

We got here only to see this.

What happened?

Why is it not us
that's in charge of the demolition?

I think we've been duped.

Mr. Ji was against the bid,
but you insisted ...

How much did you wire in advance?

- Four...
- What?

We wired four billion won.

You've got to be kidding me.

Mr. Ko!

Hurry.

What do we do?

What if he doesn't
recover from this?

Even if we report it,

it'll take a while
to make an arrest.

They immediately leave the country,
making it hard to catch them.

I'm afraid we'll need Mr. Ji.

He was against us
bidding on this project,

but Mr. Ko insisted.

Ms. Cho.

That's new.

Why aren't you calling
Dae Geun first?

Don't give him anything to eat.
He won't even listen to his brother.

He has been dealt a rough life,
hasn't he?

What does he see in an older woman?

Things would be great...

if he got back together
with Eun Byeol.

That's nonsense.
She's out of the question.

Others work hard wanting to live,

but you're actively trying
to ruin your life.

Do as you wish
if you want to sever ties with me.

- Where's Uncle Dae Geun?
- Leave him alone.

Something happened.

Ms. Cho, here's a gift for you.

What's this?

It's pretty.

I was thinking about
getting a purse like this.

I read your mind, didn't I?

Do you like it?

- It's pretty.
- It's genuine cowhide leather.

How much was it?

It was 200,000 won,
but I got it for 180,000 won.

That was ballsy of you.

It was the least I could do
for my daughter's first day at work.

See how it looks on you.

You really look like a teacher.

But she is a real teacher.

You'd look amazing
going to work like that.

Thanks, Dad.

I may not be good at choosing women,

but I'm an expert
at picking out purses.

What nonsense is that?

As if you could've married
someone better. Goodness.

Eun Kang, here's my gift.
A pencil case and stamps.

What's that?

She can stamp them
on her students' assignments.

"Good job," "You're the best,"
and "Thumbs up."

The last one is a red balloon.

It's for the student
who did the best job.

You love red balloons, right?

Nicely done.

Don't you have anything for her?

Isn't cooking for her enough?

Cook her breakfast
early in the morning.

We will now have breakfast
when it's appropriate for Ms. Cho.

Raise your hand if you agree.

Mom doesn't have to cook
early in the morning.

I'll grab my own breakfast.

Nonsense.

School teachers are hungry all day.

Teaching others drains your energy.

And having breakfast as a family...

is our family tradition.

You know Poong Sang, right?

- The one at the auto shop?
- Yes.

I stomped all over his confidence...

while on the phone
with him yesterday.

Good for you.

His in-law's
second cousin twice removed...

is a high school teacher,

and he rubbed it in our faces.

Didn't you say that
his younger sister was a doctor?

He lied.
Not everyone can be a doctor.

Tell me about it.

That reminds me.
I have to treat my friends...

to a meal when we meet.

It'll cost me at least 100,000 won.

Go ahead. Treat them to a meal.

We should now be able
to hold our heads high.

Why should we feel intimidated
when our daughter is a success?

- You're right. My goodness.
- My goodness.

(Overseas Volunteer Program Schedule)

Hello, Mr. Lee.

Is Mr. Ji doing well?

He doesn't answer my calls,
so I'm asking you instead.

Look, Eun San.

The truth is,

Mr. Ji...

(Yongwang Police Station)

(Yongwang Police Station)

Hello?

This is Cho Eun Kang.

How can I help you?

We need you to come in
for questioning.

Questioning?

You know Ms. Han Ba Da's
design plagiarism case, right?

She is suing you
for being an accomplice.

You're the accused.
Come in for our investigation.

The accused?

Ba Da.

Ms. Cho Eun Kang?

- Yes.
- Ms. Cho.

You stole Ms. Han's design
and gave it to Na Bun Nyeon, right?

We confirmed
you received money from her.

I didn't steal it.

It was a sketch she threw out.

Tell the truth.

How much did you receive?

I didn't receive any money.

I didn't have a choice.
I was threatened...

You received money from her
three years ago.

How much did you receive?

I'm just cross-checking the fact.

It was 500,000 won.

It was only that one time
three years ago.

I had no idea
this was what she'd do.

She asked me to get her
a discarded design at least.

A few months ago,
you even gave her a design...

for her department store exhibition.

- That's...
- Tell her to be honest.

I gave her a discarded sketch.

Who says I discarded it?

You crumpled it,
so I thought you threw it out.

Ms. Na threatened me,

and I just gave her
what you didn't need.

She kept threatening me
with the 500,000 won I got.

She said she'd tell you.

I gave it to her out of fear.

I had no idea
she'd make knock-offs with it.

Ba Da, I'm sorry.

She says...

you knew it all
and still cooperated.

This means you are an accomplice.

No, I didn't.

I want a confrontation.

Ba Da, it's true. Please believe me.

Are you friends?

- Yes.
- No.

She's just a part-timer.

Ms. Na is probably right.

Cho Eun Kang has seen
how I've worked for a long time.

She must've known
that I reuse discarded sketches.

She had free access to my office.

She could unlock my computer,
my safe, and everything.

I once caught her sneaking around
on my computer.

- Ba Da...
- Did you...

get anything stolen?

I'll recheck my safe.

What she did...

caused my business to go down.

I'm about to get kicked out
of the industry.

Please make sure...

she gets punished for her crime.

Ba Da.

Ba Da.

The 500,000 won was...

to pay for my mom's appendectomy.

My family was too poor...

to afford anything.

I was so rushed...

that I handed her
a design you didn't use.

That dragonfly wing design.

You decided not to manage it
because it was a waste of money.

I took the money for my mom,

but I was anxious
you might find out.

And Na Bun Nyeon
dragged me around over it.

I was a fool.

The sketch you threw out
before the exhibition.

I thought you threw it out. I swear.

I meant to cut her off
after that last time.

I had no idea she'd make...

bad blood between you
and the department store...

and even make counterfeits
to cause that refund incident.

It's true.

I never meant anything against you.

Don't beg me.

Beg the judge.

Ba Da.

Just this once.

Please forgive me this once.

We're friends.

Friends?

Ba Da.

Ba Da.

Ba Da.

Ba Da!

Eun Kang, are you home?

Yes.

I forgot to give this to you.

What is it?

It's from the court.

But why?

It's nothing, Mom.

(Plaintiff: Han Ba Da,
Defendant: Cho Eun Kang)

(The defendant will pay
30,009,900 won to the plaintiff.)

(The defendant spent a night
with the plaintiff's husband.)

What?

(From Han Ba Da,
To Cho Eun Kang)

Is it your first time
getting sued for adultery?

What?

How does it feel?

I've never been through this before.

I heard everyone got terrified
when they received this.

You're a bold girl,
so I didn't think you would.

But you seem terrified.

I thought we meant
what we talked about on the trip.

Of course, I meant it.

I don't dupe
a 20-year-long friend like you.

You wanted to bury everything
that happened in the past.

Yes, our 20-year-long friendship.

Don't you get it?

You've become stupid.

I dumped our friendship
by the shore.

From now on,

you're not my friend,

but an adulteress I sued.

You stole my design and sold it.

You stole my husband
and wrecked my family.

I'm a victim,
and you're an assailant.

I'm a plaintiff,
and you're a defendant.

First off, you must be punished
for making me go down.

You ruined my well-built career.

You caused me to go out of business
and end up with this shabby office.

You made me debt-saddled.

You stole my design and sold it.

You'll be punished...

for everything you did.

You saw that the lawsuit said...

I was demanding
30,009,900 won, right?

No matter how much you pay,
it won't be enough to soothe me.

If it's less than 30 million won,
there won't be a written judgment.

I'm demanding 30 million won
so it leaves a written judgment.

I'll only get
15 to 20 million won anyway.

I'll leave your crime...

on a written judgment...

to make it
your life-long scarlet letter.

I doubt you have
any sort of fame to your name,

but I'll defame you all I can.

Oh, right.

The 9,900 won is...

for a home-shopping cheap product.

In short,

the 9,900 won is your worth.

Very cheap.

Even if it hurts your pride,
put up with it.

You better write a defense paper
as soon as possible.

It bears interest from the day
you receive the lawsuit.

It's quite high. Was it 12 percent?

Write it within a month.

Be honest and truthful
so that the clueless judge...

can see the situation through.

That's what you should do.

One more thing. Cha Won and I
are putting off our divorce.

I'll think about it
after punishing you first.

Didn't he...

tell you anything about this?

Why would you trust
someone else's man and get cheeky?

He is still my man.

I'll take any kind of punishment.

But please...

I can finally put
the pieces together.

Your plan moved
with every chess piece you played.

Your whole family was the pieces.

My in-laws' housekeeper.

She was your mom.

The taxi driver
we called for errands.

It was your dad.

What's more surprising is...

your sister.

What and how much did you gain
by introducing them one-by-one?

This is like the movie, "Parasite."

It was for money.

You can't imagine
what it's like to be poor, can you?

We don't get
even a single won for free.

We make ends meet
without anything left.

You won't know...

just how tough that is.

I simply wanted them
to make more money.

I regret it too.

I never thought
things would end up like this.

Look at yourself floundering about
after getting caught...

in the trap you set for yourself.

You didn't know this would happen?

I never should've become friends
with someone...

who hid the lipstick
when everyone gave theirs to the teacher.

Cho Eun Kang.
You ruined my life in one go,

but I won't end yours all at once.

I'll kill you...

little by little...

and drain every ounce of blood
left in your body.

If you let a cockroach go,

you'll be too nervous to sleep.

You need to kill them completely
in a gruesome manner.

Oh, right.

That house is still mine.

Aren't you embarrassed hiding there?

I was going to prove
that he was my man,

but I held myself back.

I'm sorry. Ba Da.

Please...

Please forgive me just once.

What do you want me to do?

I'm going to start working soon.

You know how badly
I wanted to become a teacher.

- Please help me.
- Save your tears.

This is just the beginning.

You adulterer.
I'll see you in court.

I was forced to break up
with him because of you,

and I married the wrong person.

I had two kids with him,
but I lived as an empty shell with him.

I want to divorce him.

Mr. Ji.

Don't forget me.

Promise me.

Eun San.

Eun San.

Dad, how long is your business trip?

The house feels so empty
without you around.

Hurry up and come home.

(Plaintiff: Han Ba Da,
Defendant: Cho Eun Kang)

(Defense on the Lawsuit for Adultery)

- What is that?
- What?

Are you writing a love letter?

What are you talking about?

I was wrong no matter what.

(I was wrong no matter what.)

(Lawsuit)

(Plaintiff's Demand)

On November 30, 2022,

the defendant purposely sent
the plaintiff on a trip to Sokcho...

with the intent of committing
adultery with her husband.

She then spent the night...

with the plaintiff's husband
in their home.

She put on the plaintiff's robe
and used her perfume.

While there's no physical evidence
of adultery,

the plaintiff's child confirmed
these facts.

On December 10, 2022,

the defendant
and the plaintiff's husband...

stayed at Souvenir Hotel
and committed adultery.

I have a handwritten letter
from the defendant as proof.

I admit to everything.

Your Honor. Please forgive...

(I admit to everything.
Your Honor. Please forgive...)

Nam Chul. I brought snacks.
Have some makgeolli.

Okay!

(Red Balloon)

Tell me everything
you know about that person.

Hurry up and run away.

Why? Does it feel awkward
to call yourself an adulterer?

- Eun Kang!
- Don't make me curse at you!

You're really mean.

Hold on to me.

If you tell me not to leave, I won't.

Eun San.

You're an animal caught in a trap.

Don't do anything you'll regret.
You're bound to regret it.

Ba Da, just kill me.
