Love in Contract (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

1
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
ALL CHARACTERS, COMPANIES, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCALES, PRODUCTS, AND EVENTS
ARE USED IN A FICTITIOUS MANNER.
ALL SCENES WITH ANIMALS
WERE FILMED SAFELY UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE.
Well, I'm glad you admit it too.
That's right.
It's all your fault, Ji-ho.
It was indeed all my fault.
I was the one to blame.
That was the reason why we'd parted ways.
How is that my fault?
Then is it my fault?
Everyone is the same.
They all claim innocence.
Even those who do admit they were at fault
blame the other person
for driving them to it.
JUDGE
And every time I watched them,
I'd erase her again and again in my heart,
even though she had long left.
I failed to be a faithful wife.
My husband is a good man.
If he hadn't met me,
he would've never had to go through this.
It was a first.
Then why not try to settle
with your husband?
No.
I'm the spouse at fault.
And…
I also give up my claim
in any division of financial assets.
Before the memory of that day faded away,
she appeared again.
SIX MONTHS LATER
It's all my fault.
I just hope this divorce
will not disgrace him.
And then…
A YEAR LATER
Hey, say something!
We were so good to you!
-Say something!
-We demand an explanation!
That woman filed for divorce
six times in my court
over the course of two years,
and every time,
she claimed she was the one at fault.
She was a strange woman.
I became curious about her.
That was our beginning.
RESIDENT REGISTER
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD: JUNG JI-HO
SPOUSE: CHOI SANG-EUN
Today is the last day.
This will be Choi Sang-eun's 13th divorce.
This may well be her first divorce
in which she is not the spouse at fault.
Your husband is a dangerous man.
I've seen something.
I've been losing sleep over this.
Honey, I'm hungry.
Come in. Let's eat.
Fine. Let me just ask you straight up.
Who are you?
I saw you with a photo
of the dead woman and a knife.
Are you a serial killer or something?
If you must know what I do for a living,
at times,
I do remove people from this society.
See? I told you.
He's a psycho. You heard him.
Serial killer?
Whether it's a killer or a detective,
you don't feel the weight of your words
because you only play pretend.
However, your words are extremely rude
to those for whom this is a reality.
Hold on.
"A reality"?
What are you?
Are you really a serial killer?
-You keep misinterpreting my words.
-Whatever. Just report him.
I bet there's evidence in that house.
I saw everything, okay?
I'm a civil servant.
A judge at the Seoul Family Court.
Are you satisfied?
What? A judge?
Do you think I'm an idiot?
Why would a judge
have a photo of a dead woman
and a knife?
I saw you on the emergency stairs!
The dead woman had filed a divorce suit
against her husband for domestic violence.
It bothered me
that she seemed to be extremely afraid
of her husband in court.
The husband is claiming
that the perpetrator is her lover.
The wounds on the body
could hint at the identity of her killer,
so I thought I'd take a closer look
before it got transferred
to criminal court.
Why did you take off your ring?
Hold on.
Why do I have to explain this to you?
Well--
I don't think I've ever
inconvenienced you in any way.
Wouldn't you agree?
Then what about you?
You disappear late at night,
turn up two days later,
then disappear again.
Well, I…
Why…
would you need to know
about our private life?
Let's go inside.
But…
I'm sorry!
So you're a judge.
I was curious about your hobbies,
and to think that it was studying.
It's odd that I didn't know
for the past five years.
But why are you standing there?
Just go relax.
Well, I'm bored. Yes, bored.
Just go relax. I've got this.
I'm all right.
I guess this is our last dinner together.
Bon appetit.
What was that just now?
What?
"Honey, I'm hungry."
"Come in. Let's eat."
Well…
I just thought
that actor was coming onto you.
He looked like the type.
Did he?
Well, yes.
Go on, dig in.
Thank you. It looks delicious.
So once you go abroad,
what will you do there?
Date.
Though I've been married many times,
I've never really dated before.
It's not like I had time to either.
So that's what I'm thinking of doing.
Are you interested in dating?
That's not my area of expertise either.
What kind of woman are you looking for?
I'm not particularly looking for anyone.
Come on, don't say that.
I'm sure you have a favorite celebrity
or a specific type you're into.
Not really.
What if you really had to choose a type?
Why should I though?
Because it's fun.
Oh.
Well…
A natural woman.
Jeez, all men are the same.
Natural, as in no makeup?
That's all apricot lipstick,
a light and natural brow,
eyelash extensions,
and foundation for flawless skin.
The works!
You shouldn't fall for that.
Then what kind of man are you looking for?
Someone who'd love my bare face.
You see, I hate my bare face.
So you're looking for someone
who loves the you that you hate.
That won't be easy.
You're not particularly easy either.
The truth is,
I find it difficult to form relationships.
Though I give my best effort,
I've always wondered
whether it's really necessary.
But
it seems like a good thing.
What does?
To see the person in front of you smile.
Time sure flew by today.
Don't you think the salad
turned out extra well today?
Yes, I do.
Shall we have some more?
Yes, I'd love that.
-I was thinking of getting some more.
-It's delicious.
Yes, it's right there.
So how did you know?
Know what?
About me going abroad.
Well, when you said you were retiring,
I just assumed you would.
Thank you for everything.
AN OPEN COUR
THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE PEOPLE
Mr. Jung Ji-ho.
You do know that the court
is very interested
in your social skills, don't you?
Good morning.
This is the new--
It's nice to see
that everyone is so carefree,
despite the mountain of cases
we've received.
You saw how sarcastic he was
first thing in the morning.
I've attached my comments
on the Kim Hae-yong homicide case.
Please relay them along with the evidence
and the court records
to the criminal division.
Yes, sir.
By the way, Judge Jung.
Yes, I'll take a look
at the code of law this afternoon.
I'll submit the application.
Knock, knock.
Judge Jung, treat me to a coffee.
I've been reading
self-help books on relationships.
I've also been seeking help
from the expert you recommended.
So do you really need a report from me?
Never in my life have I heard of
a petition against a judge's character.
How has no one stood up for you?
You realize I went to great lengths
to prevent that petition
from being submitted, don't you?
Get it together
if you want to keep your job.
-Got it?
-Yes, sir.
Did you say hello?
To whom?
To the new clerk.
-You were just talking to him.
-Pardon?
If you weren't my student,
I would've signed that petition.
No, I'd have led it.
VIP tickets. 300,000 won apiece.
Go do something social with your team.
If anyone else quits because of you,
I'll have you write
all the court sentences yourself.
Yes, sir.
I know how tough it must be for you all.
But hang in there. You got this.
-Goodbye, sir.
-Goodbye, sir.
Excuse me.
Yes, Judge Jung?
It's nice to meet you.
I was going to introduce myself
but couldn't find the right timing.
You can count on me--
He's not an easy person to talk to.
His nickname is Brain Freeze.
When you first meet him,
you think, "How's a judge this handsome?"
And your brain freezes.
Then as you talk to him, you think,
"What's wrong with that judge?"
And your brain freezes again.
It's light.
Let's see.
Yes?
Here are the case files.
Wow, you sure are sitting upright.
-Aren't you uncomfortable?
-No, I'm not.
If I was, it would mean
there's an issue with my posture.
Is that the case for you?
Oh wow, this is amazing.
Look at these.
Right, Gwang-nam?
Wow.
Hey, this season's collection
isn't too bad.
Can I try this one out?
This strap practically screams,
"Choi Sang-eun."
The color is so me.
Well, I'd say this…
It's gorgeous!
Perfect for an important date.
I'll take everything I tried out today.
Is it okay to spend so much money?
-If we're going to a new place…
-Do you remember?
What?
Five years ago, one of my clients
was a hedge fund manager.
He offered a different payment
instead of cash,
and you threw a fit about it.
Oh, right. I remember.
It was something bizarre.
-HitCoin.
-What?
No, I know what that is.
No, you didn't.
I cashed out recently
when its value increased by 50 times.
Wow.
That's incredible, Sang-eun.
So just trust me and come along.
I know I always say this,
but if you can't adjust
your living standards to mine,
we can always live apart.
Oh, all right.
So what about your job?
The preparations are going smoothly.
I'm finally done with all my shopping
before we move to Canada.
Now I'm really ticking things off my list.
What couldn't you tick off your list
until now?
Well, that's…
Hello, Ms. Choi!
You remember me, don't you?
It's great to see you here.
Hello, Mr. Kim.
How have you been?
Good.
Oh, I see you're at work.
Is he another client of yours, perhaps?
No. Today, I'm on a real date.
I thought you had zero interest
in having a real relationship.
Turns out people do change.
I hope you find happiness too.
Sure.
Let's go, babe.
Okay.
Was he a client?
Ouch, that must've hurt.
He looks like he's about to cry.
I told you, didn't I?
I can tell by looking at their eyes.
If I don't cut him off now,
there will be trouble.
Big brother…
Should we open it now?
Who are you?
What are you doing here, Mom?
What's this?
I told you not to give her the passcode.
Answer me! What drug is this?
Ask before you turn the place inside out.
They're magnesium tablets!
Are you sure?
Mr. Yu.
Check for me.
Yes, it is magnesium, ma'am.
I bought these for him yesterday
because he couldn't sleep.
She suddenly showed up here,
so I told her to wait--
So why don't you answer the phone?
-I was worried--
-I told you that I don't do them!
Are you going to be
this lax with security?
Why, you little…
What am I, a robber?
Security? You little brat.
-What do you take me for?
-Ma'am, that's not it!
We've had a stalker break in once
while he was asleep,
so he's a bit sensitive about this.
Why go to all this trouble?
You have a home
that has the top security in this country!
Come back this instant.
Kang Hae-jin!
Why, that little…
-Yes, I understand, ma'am.
-Hey!
-Let's chat.
-Seriously.
Let me escort you home.
Why would I go with you
when I have my chauffeur?
Let go of me.
That boy…
Don't ever trust his words, okay?
This isn't an issue
that can be overcome by willpower.
When I saw on the news
about how he was rushed
to the ER recently, I…
Oh, my head.
But that was really due
to injuries on the set.
Anyway, his agency
is keeping an eye on him,
and rumors have spread enough
that no one would
prescribe it to him anymore.
Anyway, it's all over
if something ever happens to my Hae-jin.
It'll be the end for me.
And for you too!
What, so I have to die too?
FRIDAY, JUNE 10
Gosh, how many years has it been
since I had a Friday off?
What should I do?
What should I do today?
How can I make full use of this day?
Should I dance?
Yes, I should start by dancing.
I'm so happy!
My rings.
Let's donate them all.
This was for Mr. Park Seon-wu.
Was it a German car that he bought
with his wedding gift money?
How are you enjoying that car?
I hope it doesn't break down.
Was this for Mr. Jung Hyeon-cheol?
That's right.
You're now happily married
for real, aren't you?
And who was this flashy ring for?
Oh, Nick!
I hope they're used for a good cause.
JUNG JI-HO
Mr. Jung Ji-ho.
So you'll be having dinner
all alone tonight.
How does it feel to be divorced?
Oh, that's right.
I have to go file for divorce!
Gosh, I totally forgot. I should hurry.
Your Honor,
isn't it a wife's duty to ensure
her husband can focus on his work?
But this woman sticks her nose
into every little thing!
How am I supposed to focus on work?
She's really testing my limits.
I've had enough too.
I want to live like a human being.
Not with someone like him,
who only cares about himself.
I want to date someone
who will love even my bare face.
In Canada, where I'll never see you again.
Pardon?
What?
I said…
I'm done putting up with him.
I'd rather live alone.
Oh, I see.
Do the both of you rest your cases?
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, Your Honor.
FRIDAY
SEOUL FAMILY COUR
JOINT PETITION FOR DIVORCE
It's been a while,
so I forget the details.
Is this how you do it?
This will do.
Excuse me!
Looks like I blocked your way.
Sorry about that.
Can you move your car?
Oh, she's here.
All right, I'll be there. Bye.
Sang-eun!
-Yes?
-Can I borrow your car?
I need to get my stuff from the school.
You're not going
to Mr. Pension's place anymore.
But I have to drop by later.
Then drop me off on the way.
Oh man.
Why is it raining?
I feel bad about borrowing your car.
What do you want to nitpick this time?
When did I ever nitpick?
But Sang-eun.
You've got on a full face
of a no-makeup look.
What's up with that?
A full face?
I'm barely wearing any makeup.
I'm off to get his signature
on the divorce papers,
so there's no need to dress up.
I can go casual.
All right, let's go.
-Thanks.
-It's raining, so hurry inside.
I'll come pick you up later!
Don't bother. You have a lot of stuff.
I'll call a cab.
-Call me!
-I will.
Turn around.
Who are you?
Aren't you afraid?
I thought you were just trashy and vulgar,
but you don't even treasure your life?
You don't have a clue
as to who I am, do you?
Who could it be?
Are you all right?
Thank you.
Are you in pain?
I don't think it was me who got hurt.
Let's go to my place.
Will you be okay like that?
The lights weren't on at your place,
and I doubt you'd want to go
to a hospital like this.
If this is unwanted attention,
then never mind.
Wait.
She is Jamie, all right.
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
I'm sorry to ask,
but may I borrow your clothes?
An oversized shirt would be nice.
I can't believe that woman.
She's using the bathroom
like this is her place.
Can you help me out?
You can come in.
It smells nice.
So my blood doesn't get on your shirt.
Since you're an actor,
I imagine you don't feel too awkward
being this close to a stranger.
Well, I guess so.
By the way,
I took a pill from your cabinet.
We take the same anxiety meds.
I can't even get mad
because you're only somewhat rude.
All right, here I go.
Fortunately, it's not from the knife.
No ring again.
Let's just say
that I can't stop worrying about you
because you're like my cat.
So be honest with me.
I can't just trust what he said
and stop worrying about you
when you may be exposed to serious danger.
It's not like judges can't kill people.
Don't you think you're too absorbed
with playing detective?
We're just a normal married couple.
A normal married woman
wouldn't borrow clothes
from a man who lives upstairs.
You disappear late at night,
show up two days later,
then disappear again.
By any chance…
Is he exploiting you in any way?
For example, sexually…
Forcing you to visit clients…
Why should I keep up the pretense
of us being married
when I'll never see him again?
Yes, he's a client.
What, really?
-Why, that son of a…
-I'm a housekeeper.
I visit every other day
to cook various dishes for him.
You heard him, didn't you?
"I'm hungry. Let's eat."
You sure have lavish tastes
for a housekeeper.
It seems you're extremely biased
against housekeepers.
Thank you.
Aren't you Jamie,
the only daughter of INA Group?
Come to think of it,
I don't see your cat today.
Jamie.
We've met before,
though it was a long time ago.
Are you all right?
So you definitely do have a cat.
I'm allergic.
Jeez, he has terrible manners.
Hello there!
-Is your girlfriend okay?
-Pardon?
Is she not your girlfriend?
Her car is registered
under your unit number.
She visits occasionally,
so she can't be your wife.
Oh, she's your sister.
-So why…
-She got hurt earlier.
She was completely soaked
from the rain too.
Mr. Kang Hae-jin from upstairs helped her.
She didn't go to your place then?
I shouldn't have said anything.
Have a good evening.
She's up there?
Something warm sounds great right now.
-Let me help.
-Sure.
JOINT PETITION FOR DIVORCE
JOINT PETITION FOR DIVORCE
APPLICANT: JUNG-JI-HO
So you're the youngest son
of Kangjin Group?
I was curious what you were up to
after you wreaked havoc.
But who knew you'd be living
under a different name?
This is unexpected.
You don't have a big mouth, do you?
Come on, I'm quite sensitive
about my privacy too.
But seriously, what's your identity?
There's no way you're
an average housekeeper
with your outstanding background.
I still remember the chairman of INA Group
boasting about how he raised his daughter
to be the most eligible bachelorette
that any family would desire.
I was raised to be the perfect bride.
Now I have a career
that makes full use of that,
so don't ask me any more than this.
It's also confidential
that you're a chaebol, isn't it?
Then let's keep each other's
alter egos a secret, okay?
As for your shirt,
call this number, and I'll compensate you.
And…
thank you for today.
Can I ask for another favor
while I'm at it?
Do you have a document envelope?
What?
Now I have one more reason
to leave this country.
Hold on.
Is it right for me
to bring it to him personally?
What if he asks why I didn't just mail it?
Let's think about this some more.
Dropping by my single neighbor's place
because I have something
to relay to my wife.
That certainly doesn't add up.
Let's remove this.
I'm here to ask my neighbor
how my wife is doing.
That's even more suspicious.
So he's off work.
Choi Sang-eun, this is out of character.
Why are you like this these days?
It's so unlike you.
What? How…
Why are you…
Why were you upstairs?
I heard you got hurt.
The security guard told me
that you were with my neighbor.
There was a bit of an accident,
and he helped me.
Are you all right?
Sure, it was nothing.
Were you up there to look for me?
How about some tea before you go?
Sure.
Should we go to a cafe?
I think I'll get too attached
if I go back in there.
I mean to your place.
Oh, my place.
Sure.
Choi Sang-eun.
Now she's using the skills she honed
to be the perfect bride.
Hello, Uncle.
Can you look into someone for me?
What?
Why did she leave this mess behind?
Are you serious?
Is she crazy or something?
That's so funny!
Did you have dinner, by any chance?
No, not yet.
Now that you mention it, it's dinnertime.
Then…
how about we have dinner together?
Sure, let's do that.
All right, let's go.
I'll have this, please.
And I'll have this one.
And can you make his less spicy, please?
You can't handle spicy food.
They make everything spicy these days.
Excuse me.
Can we have one more of these
without the pepper?
I'll have this one.
It's quite amusing, isn't it?
We find having dinner together
less awkward than getting a cup of coffee.
Be honest, Mr. Jung.
You felt awkward about going to a cafe,
so you suggested dinner.
Not really.
I'm sorry.
So…
what happened earlier?
Well…
That's right, you're in the legal field.
May I get some advice?
I've been getting this feeling
that someone is watching me lately.
And today, a man in a helmet attacked me.
Of course, I've had a fair share
of clients who were aggressive,
but this one was quite different.
What about his voice?
Did he say anything?
He seemed to be using a voice-changer.
He said I was trashy and vulgar.
Maybe it's just a random attack
targeting women.
I don't think so, I'm afraid.
How come?
Because you have
every reason to be targeted.
I'm sure many of your former clients
may harbor sentiments
no longer related to business.
Target? And what sentiments?
Mostly negative.
Like despair at the fact
that they can't possess you,
which subsequently results
in hatred and loathing.
There were some
who exhibited those characteristics,
but they were strictly a minority.
While women tend to exercise vigilance
towards men in general,
once they open up to them,
they believe in their goodness.
Though that's a reason to suspect
that they've fallen for the man's trap.
It's foolish, really.
Trap? Foolish?
Oh, I didn't intend to--
No, I understand.
And?
Are you still curious?
To put it simply,
this desire to own someone
leads to the delusion
that the only way to do so
is by murdering that person.
Hold on, I'm sorry.
Murder? Who, and for what?
As I told you earlier,
whether or not you intended it,
the biggest driver of your business
is the inferiority complex of men.
And those who hold
a serious inferiority complex
often make heinous criminals.
They'd think that you deserve it.
Deserve it?
Why should I have to die?
-Ms. Choi.
-Yes?
There is no victim
who thinks they deserve to die.
Excuse me, Mr. Jung.
However, since you say
you plan to move abroad,
-I wouldn't be too worried--
-Yes.
I'm not that foolish, you see.
I plan to leave this country for good.
I'm sorry, but did I say something that…
You said you wanted my advice.
Sure.
Thank you so very much.
But now, I'm thinking
that you were much better
when you kept your mouth shut.
Thank you for dinner.
For a second back there, I…
At least that helped me get over him.
Excuse me.
How about we wrap this up now?
Aren't those papers for me?
Yes.
That's true, but…
Here.
I'll submit these.
What are you doing here?
Get in!
Please excuse me, then.
JOINT PETITION FOR DIVORCE
Wow, what a hunk.
And didn't you say he's a judge?
What are you doing, not going for him?
I'm Choi Sang-eun, remember?
First of all,
I don't intend to marry for comfort,
and second, he scores far below average
in terms of my standards.
And it turns out
he has huge personality flaws.
How did I not realize for five years?
Oh, really?
Is that why you got changed?
You left the house earlier
looking like an innocent girl.
So why did you become
a femme fatale all of a sudden?
Is that his type?
Look at you
baring your shoulders like that.
Button up, will you?
What is it? Are you okay?
Yes.
Does your heart ache
now that you have to leave him behind?
Jeez, you're so loud. Stop.
MADAM YU
She said not to contact each other again.
Still, I'll be leaving Korea for good, so…
Forget it.
Sang-eun, just mind your own business.
Where is my bag from last night?
Here it is.
Ugh, Jung Ji-ho.
STEFAN BACHMANN LIVE IN KOREA
VIP: 300,000 WON
Why is this here?
How about we wrap this up now?
Aren't those papers for me?
Yes. That's true, but…
Yes, it's what I saw.
So why did he…
Hold on.
He must've opened mine already.
How do I sort this out?
Sang-eun, let's calm down.
Calm down. We can sort this out.
Mr. Jung Ji-ho.
Let's calm down.
Calm down, breathe.
-Hello, Mr. Jung.
-Yes, Ms. Choi.
Thank you for the concert tickets.
How did you know I like classical music?
Oh, really? That's good.
Yes, I was disappointed
after failing to get tickets.
So what a pleasant surprise.
I also thank you for the papers.
Well, that's…
I'll submit the papers you prepared
since I'm in the same office.
I admit I'm rather impatient,
so I rushed things this time, but…
I'm glad you did.
It would've slipped my mind
because I'm swamped with work,
so thank you.
I see.
So the concert is Saturday night.
Yes, it seems so.
Hope you enjoy it.
I must get back to work.
Hope I enjoy it? So I'm going alone?
Hello?
What's with this guy?
He's not coming with me?
I mean…
Ugh, I'm so embarrassed!
This is humiliating!
Can you zoom in on camera seven, please?
Hello.
I'll send you a number
of a surveillance camera.
I'd like a copy of the recordings.
I could've asked Detective Min for you,
so why delve into it yourself?
It's not an official case yet.
You can go back to your work.
Can you zoom in on camera one, please?
Yes, sir.
By the way, I changed the passcode
to the lobby like you asked me to.
Thanks.
What is it? Did something bad happen?
What do "good" and "bad"
even mean in life?
But I must say, I'm quite disappointed.
I really thought this one person
would live a better life.
I almost forgot. On top of the minibar.
You asked someone
to look into something for you?
He left it there.
He sure is quick at what he does.
MARRIED, DIVORCED, MARRIED, DIVORCED…
I was raised to be the perfect bride.
Now I have a career
that makes full use of that,
so don't ask me any more than this.
So she started a business
with what she learned?
She sure exceeds my expectations.
Hello?
Choi Sang-eun?
Why are they asking for you on my number?
Who is it?
I wonder who.
I definitely recognize that voice.
Damn it, who is this? I know this guy.
Is that Kang Hae-jin?
You're right.
That is Kang Hae-jin's voice.
He sure sounds like…
Hold on. Kang Hae-jin?
Why would Kang Hae-jin call you…
I mean, me?
Hello, this is Choi Sang-eun speaking.
Shouldn't you at least clean up your mess
when I did you a favor?
I thought you were a snake
with all the layers you shed.
Also,
who was that man just now?
The owner of this number.
I didn't want to disclose
my number to just anyone.
Then what about me?
My number has been disclosed
to someone I don't even know.
Actually, you do have a point.
I'm sorry. I'll delete it right away.
What?
But to be honest, I'm surprised.
I didn't think
you'd call me over one shirt.
Shirt? What shirt?
Guess I was wrong.
I can't believe this.
That shirt was custom-made
for me by Jerri Brown.
There's only one of those in the world.
Sure.
Anyway, come pick up your clothes.
Or did you expect me to bring them to you?
You can just throw them out.
Then what about my shirt?
Aren't you going to return my shirt?
Or did you auction it off already?
What's going on?
I'll bring it to you.
What's with the attitude?
Why are you acting
like I owe you something
when I was the one who did you a favor?
Hello?
What the…
Did she just hang up on me?
She thinks she's above everyone else.
Is it because she's an only child?
I can only imagine
how much they spoiled her.
Here.
It's been fully laundered.
Do you charge a rental fee as well?
Are you always this rude?
I apologize if I came off as rude.
But Mr. Kang Hae-jin,
have you ever genuinely apologized
for spying on and slandering others?
Specifically your neighbor.
Come in for a second.
I'll bring your clothes.
All right.
Here you go.
How strange.
They're the same unit,
yet they feel so different.
Why? How's the place downstairs?
And what about my place?
They're both splendid, of course. But…
The place downstairs
is overly tidy and austere
as if no one lives there.
Are you heading downstairs now?
Since today is a Friday?
You said you cook
on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Not anymore.
I won't ever be coming back here again.
Why not?
Did you quit?
Yes.
That's probably my manager.
I should get going too.
What brings you here?
That's right. You said you're married.
Did you come to look for your wife?
No, I came to see you, Mr. Kang Hae-jin.
Why me?
Because the suspect in Ms. Choi's attack
is someone close to you.
I'm sure you know who that is.
Wait, please!
Why did you give me that ticket
when you won't be coming with me?
You were the only person
I was close enough to
who wouldn't get the wrong idea.
And who is this?
This is my wife.
Without love, there's no hatred,
and without hatred,
there are no tears either.
Who is this woman anyway?
I'd rather be called
a supporter of free love than gay.
I'm the biggest failure in her life.
Come to think of it,
I know nothing about Choi Sang-eun.
