Original subtitles

Bride and groom, please bow.

Next, the bride and groom will exchange rings.

-What… -Wait.

Goodness. Well, hello there.

Slow down and chew your food thoroughly.

Dad, where's Mom?

Your mom?

She had to be at work early today.

Dad.

I've made up my mind.

About what?

I'm going to be a chef.

A chef? I thought your dream was to fight fire.

It was,

but as of yesterday, I've changed my mind.

There must've been some sort of incident.

That's a secret.

Anyway, I'm going to be a chef, so your job is to help me.

Just work hard to reach your goal and I'll be there to support you.

I'm sure you're aware that good grades are pertinent to any goal in life, right?

I'll head to school now then, Father.

-Have a good day. -Sure.

MY LADY

MY MAN

Honey, come on.

It's already eight o'clock.

I…

Why aren't you putting it on?

Eun-sil,

I can't remember how to knot it.

What do you mean?

How can you forget? You've worn one for decades.

Beats me.

I don't know how I could forget either.

Goodness.

You could've just said you missed my touch instead of scaring me like that.

A single day of facial treatment turned your skin into silk.

What?

-Really? -Yes.

Anyway, giving you baby skin will be my job from now on.

Thanks, Eun-sil.

Also, honey…

I thought about this all night.

About what?

If you wish to get hair implants,

I'll make a wig with my hair

for you to wear.

-Your hair? -Yes.

Have a seat.

Here.

Like this!

-It actually suits you. -Gosh.

You look at least 30 years younger.

I look like a kid!

-Kang Gyeong-ja… -Sir, please.

Kang Gyeong-ja, come on out! Come here!

Honey, what's wrong with you?

-Let me go! -My goodness.

-What the hell? -Oh, no.

Shit. You've got to be kidding me.

Are you insane?

Are you out of your mind?

How dare you sleep out for two days without telling me?

Being in a slump doesn't give you the right to act out.

Where were you?

What has you bewitched enough to make you do things you never have?

Seriously!

Tell me right now, you brat.

Are you trying to make me kill myself out of depression?

You darn brat!

Where… I'm not done!

Where are you going?

You should've just come clean about this new girlfriend.

Your mom isn't some stickler, you know.

If not your mom, you had me to come to.

I'm the opposite of close-minded, remember?

All I've been waiting for

was to have my one and only son introduce me to his girl.

I'm not seeing anyone.

Unbelievable. You're going to lie to me too?

Don't even try.

Your mom found a hairpin in your room.

She spent all night mumbling to herself with it in her hand.

It scared me to bits, you know.

I thought she'd completely lost it.

So who is she?

Is she pretty? How old is she? Don't tell me she's older than you.

-I don't know. -You don't?

The fact that you don't know

means you're still getting to know each other.

So you are seeing someone.

You have a girlfriend.

It took you long enough to come clean.

Dad,

were you aware of what Mom did for a living from the start?

Of course. Why?

It's nothing.

But you still liked her?

I more than just liked her.

She was a goddess.

She was nothing like your average adult entertainers.

When she took off her tights,

she poured her heart and soul into it

as she rolled it down.

My heart nearly exploded

as I watched her do so.

Why do you ask though?

Is your new girlfriend an adult film actress?

If you hadn't gotten

all feisty with him that day,

I would be directing a movie right now.

Kang Gyeong-ja!

This… This is all your fault.

Take responsibility.

This is Kang Gyeong-ja.

Mom, have you been well?

I've been good too.

Actually, no.

Things haven't been well.

THE LATE SEO GYEONG-HUI

I've had a hard time recently.

You see,

Gung-cheol's first love reappeared.

You know Hae-suk, right?

My friend from high school.

You're the one who's pathetic.

Even after 20 years, your husband's first love

still bothers you.

But I can see why you're anxious.

Since you were the cause of that horrific incident.

I've been trying to forget,

but it isn't easy.

So what do I do?

What do I do, Mom?

The chairman wishes to see you.

What on earth are you doing here?

Do you think you have the right?

I'm not here to see her.

It's you I'm here for.

Me?

You seem gaunt.

What's it to you how I look anyway?

Why ask for a favor if I shouldn't care then?

If you wanted to live up to that pride of yours,

you shouldn't have come to me for help.

For someone who acts all high and mighty,

you're in a colossal mess.

I paid you back the very next day.

That doesn't mean the favor wasn't asked.

You should still be grateful even if you hate me.

Someone who doesn't know that

shouldn't be a professor.

I won't ever ask you for a favor again,

so let this be the last time you see me.

It's a good thing the punk died

or you would've had to deal with those photos being out in the open.

Have you been keeping track of me again?

How much do you know?

Did you think I'd lend you 500 million won

and not do my homework?

I know who the dead man is,

but not the one who killed him.

That's all I know.

You said

you'd never ask for a favor again.

That's what you said 20 years ago before going abroad to study.

No one knows where your life will take you.

Who's to say that you won't

ask for my help again 20 years from now?

Although, I may be dead by then.

You should live a long life.

That's the least you can do since you're living off

on the years of another person.

I'm glad you held it together and stayed alive

rather than taking your life too.

You should live out her years

since I have no use for them.

MY MAN

Yes?

Jeong-hae, where are you?

The hospital, of course. Where else?

PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRY, NAM JEONG-HAE

OFFICE CLOSED TODAY WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

What's this about?

It's nothing.

I was just worried since you left for work without a word

and have been unreachable.

My day's been busy.

Nothing's going on though, so I'll see you at home later.

NAMSEO HOSPITAL

Mom, guess what I bought!

Mom?

Mom.

Mom, where are you?

Mom, are you up here?

Mom…

What the…

Mom?

Mom…

Mom…

JEONGRIP UROLOGY CLINIC

MIDDLE-AGED MEN, BE CONFIDENT!

Can you escort him to the exam room?

Sure. This way, sir.

-Right. -This way.

Ms. Sophia Choi?

This way, please.

Come on in.

With whose matter can I help you with? Your husband?

Or maybe it's your boyfriend.

My husband isn't interested in having sex with me.

I'm here for a consult on a possible case of sexual dysfunction.

I see.

If that's the case, I should advise you

to bring your husband with you for the consult.

I need to check his condition

to understand where the underlying issue is.

Well, he's here with me.

My husband's right here.

PATIENT NAME: SOPHIA CHOI (CHOI MO-RAN)

Have you been well?

Mo-ran, you…

I'm done!

What… What on earth happened to you in the US?

It was quite dynamic.

I'll wait for you at home, so tell me the lock combination.

What…

Why would you wait for me at my house?

Why? You said you'd take me back if I lost the weight.

I didn't mean it, so book a hotel room.

Why is that? Is there a reason to keep me out of there?

It's okay if you have a lady friend.

You're just as rude as you've always been.

We're divorced now and are complete strangers.

It's rude to be at my house without me.

I see. So it's rude.

Then, I'll wait here until you're done, honey.

I have nowhere to go and I'm too exhausted.

See you in a bit, then.

Hold on a second.

Can you send Nurse Yeo in?

Doctor, you called for me?

Something urgent has come up for me,

so please relay my patients to Dr. Shin.

Sure thing.

You're coming with me.

Gosh, honey. Isn't it too early for this?

Mr. An.

-Here. -Thank you.

So what did you find?

The photo from the funeral hall that Ms. Nam received

and the video you received…

were sent from the same burner phone.

Then my hunch was right.

It means that the suspect

in the case of Joo Gang-san's murder

was present at your friend's funeral.

That's what it means.

Exactly.

Won't checking the funeral visitor log provide you with a lead?

Would someone as meticulous have written down their name?

How about we check the security camera footage

from the funeral hall?

I already did

and the footage from that day has been deleted.

Mr. An.

Have you heard of Dahan Nursing Home?

No, I haven't.

On the day of the incident, Ms. Nam visited that place.

My wife

volunteers at a nursing home. That must be the place.

Is there some sort of issue?

Ms. Nam deleted the dashcam footage of that day from her car.

She claimed it's a habit of hers,

but I was wondering if you knew anything.

It's not just me but my wife you're doubting too?

-Mr. An-- -How many times must I tell you

that my wife is innocent?

A detective should catch the real culprit, not suspect and tail someone

who isn't guilty.

Married couples think that they know everything about each other,

but in reality, they harbor more secrets than they would from a stranger.

All I'm saying is that

your wife may have more secrets

and a past that you haven't been aware of.

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I forgot I was meeting someone to play golf.

Ms. Nam deleted the dashcam footage of that day from her car.

SEARCH: DAHAN NURSING HOME

Barge into my bar completely wasted again

and I'll toss you in the river.

You think I won't?

No, I'm sure that you will.

So be good.

Let me hug you.

What?

That's out of the blue.

Get over here.

Don't drown your sorrows down a bottle.

Got it?

Sure.

Just so you know, I drink because life is tough.

Darn, my nose hurts.

Nice.

Anyone would think I'm still in college.

He was acting so suspicious

so I took a peek at his phone before he left for work.

Apparently, Baek Hae-suk opened a new bar,

and he was asking about what to bring,

what to wear,

and the amount of money to bring.

It was as if he were on cloud nine.

No wonder Hyeong-u was doing yoga and lifting weights all night.

Tell me about it.

Chun-bok put on a facial mask for the first time

and seriously considered hair implants.

I thought it was all for me,

but it was for that woman.

There's no need to cry about it, so stop.

Gyeong-ja,

what should I do now?

What do I do?

What else can you do but declare total war?

Are you free tonight? Let's barge in there.

What?

We'll show them who's boss and screw their heads back on.

I'm in. Let's barge in there!

Okay, I'll call once I'm done on my end.

Oh, and don't forget to dress up.

Got it.

Consider yourself dead.

First love or not,

it's up to me to keep my husband out of her reach.

Baek Hae-suk, baeksuk, or whatever. Just you wait and see.

You hag!

What? Oh, no. My gosh!

What have I done?

Thank you.

Stay here until you find a place.

I booked it for a month.

I'll get going then. Take care.

Ms. Kang!

You have no idea how thrilled I was to hear from you.

-Let's just head upstairs, shall we? -Right away?

I'd love nothing more.

Isn't that Hyeong-u's wife?

EROTIC HYEONG-U

Damn it.

-Just make them look pretty, please. -Got it.

When will you be here?

I'll be running late today, so start without me.

Meeting your friends?

-Can I join you? -I'm leaving.

Ms. Kang, you should go ahead and shower too.

Nice! Oh, that's good.

Before I shower, I need you to promise me something.

A promise?

Promise me you'll do a movie with my husband.

What?

Damn it.

Why would I promise that loser anything?

Well,

I'll consider it depending on

your performance today.

-Forget it. -All right, fine!

Okay, I'll do it.

Come on. Where should I sign?

You are one impatient woman, aren't you?

MEMORANDUM

-Right here. -Here?

1. ASSIGN A MOVIE TO CHO HYEONG-U

2. REFRAIN FROM VERBAL ABUSE

PARK SI-O

Are we good?

Then,

shall we begin?

DAHAN NURSING HOME: GU YEONG-SEON, FEMALE, 60

Excuse me.

He told me a lot about you.

You were his best friend.

Did you meet Man-sik here

at this nursing home?

Yes.

I'm Ms. Gu's personal caregiver

and Mr. Chun has been caring for her for years.

Due to that, we naturally became close.

Actually,

I relied on him a lot

and cared for him.

At the funeral,

I couldn't contain my emotions.

I'm sure many misunderstood our relationship because of it.

I swear though that we never did anything to be frowned upon.

It's true.

I'm well aware Man-sik

would never do such a thing.

He was truly a kind-hearted

and generous man.

Let me ask you one more thing.

Do you know

who Ms. Gu

is to Man-sik?

Yes.

You do?

Yes.

He told me himself.

Ever since the incident,

he said his life had been in shambles.

There were countless moments where he wanted to die.

Is my wife…

aware of this, too?

Please tell me.

I heard that my wife brought Man-sik here.

Are you saying

that my wife knew about all of it?

This will sting a bit.

You'll feel better once the IV bag is emptied.

I'm sure you're busy,

so why bother coming all this way?

If you had gone to see a doctor when Gung-cheol came over yesterday,

she wouldn't have had to go through this trouble.

If your condition worsens, you must see a doctor

and get a full check-up. Got it, Father?

Of course. Thank you, Jeong-hae.

It'll take about two hours, so get some sleep.

Please eat up even if it doesn't suit your palate.

Of course, I'll like it.

I wouldn't have called if I had known you'd come by.

Gung-cheol left us in a fury which had me worried.

I only called so that you'd calm him down.

I know what you meant.

But I missed you both, so don't feel guilty about it.

Gosh. How can I not be bothered about it

when you're no average housewife?

Your job involves making people better again

and I made you take time off work.

I wanted to eat your food

in order to gain the energy I need.

It's not even a huge meal, but I'm grateful for the sentiment.

Is Gung-cheol good to you?

Yes, of course.

Gung-cheol

hates his father with all his heart,

but blood is thicker than water.

A lot of the times, I see his father in him.

He may lack in a few ways which is why I ask for your understanding

and patience.

I can't say for sure regarding everything else,

but he won't ever trouble you when it comes to women.

That's what keeps me by my husband's side

despite the hardship he brings.

I don't have to endure in any way with him, Mother.

In fact, I'm the one who requires patience.

As if he has a choice not to be good to you.

He married a beautiful, smart, and successful woman.

How can he afford not to be patient?

-Aren't I right? -You are, Mother.

Jeong-hae,

thank you so much.

You married into a family that had nothing to offer

and gave birth to a son like Yu-bin.

I'm truly grateful for the peaceful life you've led.

Mother…

Just looking at you puts a smile on my face.

Gosh, how silly of me.

Anyway, go ahead and eat up.

Take your time and eat all you want.

I will.

Gosh, I almost forgot.

The scorched rice is on the stove.

I'll soon have the soup ready for you,

so eat your meal, okay?

Gosh.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION: THEORY

Okay, here we go.

Please look this way.

One, two, three.

-Congratulations. -Thanks.

-I'll see you later then. -See you later.

-Sure. -Bye.

My gosh. How can she not have any family?

Is she an orphan then?

No wonder the seats over on the bride's side are empty.

Can you believe Sun-i?

She was so proud of getting a doctor for a daughter-in-law,

but how sad is this?

Her son is marrying an orphan for crying out loud.

If you think about it, no sane doctor

would marry into a family that has nothing to show for itself.

Now I get why Gung-cheol's dad had a shadow cast on his face.

He's marrying his son off to a woman with no family.

I can't imagine the pain he must be feeling.

Leave!

You're not wanted here, so get lost.

Come on, Gye-su. What are you saying?

This place is only for those who are here to congratulate them.

You have no right being here, so get lost!

-Come on. -But Gye-su!

-We didn't mean-- -No, wait!

Gye-su!

Bride and groom, please enter.

Please give them a big round of applause!

Bride and groom, please turn around and face your guests.

Today, the groom's mother, the bride's mother-in-law-to-be,

will be taking on the role

as the bride's mother.

Please give her a round of applause!

GYEONG-JA

Jeong-hae, let's teach this first love of theirs a lesson.

Be at the convenience store near the apartment at 8 p.m.

-Here. -Please have a glass.

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

WISHING YOU THE BEST

JEONG JAE-HOON, ART DIRECTOR OF PHOENIX THEATER CLUB

Excuse me, we need more food here!

You're here.

A plant, a flower basket, and a painting?

Talk about spending money in the most meaningless way.

I see you bought those yourself.

In my case, I just called a florist.

My goodness. Let me take that.

Congratulations on opening the bar.

Thank you so much.

These are beautiful!

You must've borrowed those clothes

from your golfer son.

They fit you well.

Your son is a professional golfer?

-Yes. -My gosh.

I get that you miss your college days,

but this is just too pathetic.

You wore this for a laugh, right?

-Is it funny? -It is.

I'm glad it worked.

You're here.

Congratulations on the bar.

Thanks.

Hold on. Did you come empty-handed?

Seriously?

Gung-cheol, you jerk.

I was in such a hurry. I couldn't get anything.

Sorry.

It's fine. You being here is all I need.

What have you been up to today?

You don't look so good.

What do you mean?

-Gyeong-ja! -Oh, you're here.

Hi.

I see you cried your eyes out.

It wasn't like that at all.

Anyway, where's Jeong-hae?

She must not be coming, so let's go.

Sure.

Wait up!

Sorry, I'm late. I got held up.

There's no need to apologize. Anyway, let's go.

I know you're busy, Chun-bok, so thanks for being here.

I'm not busy at all.

Thank you all for taking time off your busy schedule.

There's no need to thank us. Of course, we should be here.

Here.

For our everlasting love.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Nice. -My gosh.

Jeong-hae.

Eun-sil.

Hello.

As you can see though,

we're out of empty tables.

It's too bad.

How so?

We can just join our husbands.

Here. Please have a seat.

Dr. Nam?

My gosh!

Hi, honey.

Don't just stand there and prepare our seats.

-Sure. -Right. Of course.

-Please sit here. -Thank you.

Shabby, isn't it?

Have you had dinner?

Would you like anything else?

At a place like this?

We're only drinking reluctantly.

Well, please let me know because I serve expensive bottles too.

I won't overcharge them like you do.

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

To thank

all the customers who came tonight to congratulate

the opening of my bar,

I'll present a song.

Rain trickles down quietly

As if it's reminiscing

On a rainy day like this

I'm reminded of that day

The one who lifted up my collar

While holding the umbrella over my head

Like always, he is on my mind

As I walk in the rain alone

I hear him calling my name

And walking toward me

But when I turn around

There's no one there

All I see is the rain trickling down lonely and bitterly

Give him a hand!

Rain trickles down quietly

As if it's reminiscing

On a rainy day like this

I'm reminded of him

She's not bad.

What a seductive voice she has.

No wonder she was popular in college.

Don't you agree?

No?

That's enough. We should go home.

Let go.

-Watch your step. -I'm fine.

I'm good.

Where is she going?

No, don't follow me.

Don't.

Hae-suk,

I want to sing.

I'm going to sing.

Fine. Go ahead.

Hey. Do you think I can't?

Unbelievable.

Move over.

Get going.

Hello, everyone.

For you all, I will sing…

a song.

She's going to sing!

What a beautiful night this is.

Ever since some day

The day I first met you

I practiced wearing pink lipstick

Just like my fluttering heart

The shade of pink was full of love

You looked at me silently

But with adoration

So for you tonight

I will wear my pink lipstick

A shade that will never be erased from your heart

Let me be the one to put it there

Jeong-hae!

Are you all right?

Let go of her. I'm her husband, you know.

Then take her home.

Jeong-hae, come on. Let's go home.

No way!

I'm going to sing some more.

My song isn't over yet.

Jeong-hae, what's gotten into you?

If you want to sing, let's go to a karaoke.

I'm not going!

Why would I go to a karaoke with you?

You idiot. Now, go.

Come on. Let's go home.

-Let go of me! -Get up, Jeong-hae.

Let me go!

Put me down!

Let go!

Put me down!

-Let go. -Please put her down.

I'll take care of Jeong-hae today.

-Let go of me. -Jeong-hae.

Jeong-hae?

Please get in.

Watch her head.

Please take good care of my wife for me

and let me know if anything happens.

Don't worry too much and enjoy your time with your friends.

These chances never come easily.

Don't worry, Mr. An.

Hwajeong Station Intersection, please.

Sure thing.

Are we headed to your bar?

It's been a while since I saw Jeong-hae wasted like that.

When was it the last time?

After pre-med?

No wonder you're the smart one. I had forgotten about that, you know.

She should have moments like this to unwind sometimes anyway.

Especially considering what day it is.

What do you mean?

Shall we sit for a second?

Jae-hoon, what do you mean by this day being hard for her?

The wind must be blowing

To cool my heated heart

The season passes

But I'm still in agony

The late spring night where petals flutter in the air

Your scent still lingers

When will you come back to me?

Here I am in agony

Like the petals that wither

This spring night will also end

So when will you come back to me?

Here I am in agony

Jeong-hae, are you all right?

Gyeong-ja…

On days like this,

I miss her…

so much.

Who is it that you miss?

Who do you wish to see?

My mom.

I miss…

my mom.

I see.

Our moms…

will always be the ones we miss.

Cry all you want, Jeong-hae.

Don't cry.

Today's the day Jeong-hae's mother passed away.

What?

-Really? -Yes, it is.

Who told you that?

Who did you hear it from?

From Jeong-hae.

Med school graduates got together yesterday.

All I'm saying is that

your wife may have more secrets

and a past that you haven't been aware of.

Is my wife aware of this, too?

That's a question for her, not me.

I have nothing to say to you.

Today's the day Jeong-hae's mother passed away.
