Love in Contract (2022) s01e06 Episode Script
Episode 6
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.
Why didn't you come to work on Friday?
Ms. Choi.
I know this isn't how you operate.
I've been…
waiting for you.
Your outfit doesn't look
appropriate for a hike.
No.
So I was wondering,
when do you plan to stop for a break?
I'd like to extend our contract.
Is he kidding me?
What does he take me for?
I said I'd like to extend our contract.
An "extension of a contract"
is something that's done
before the said contract expires.
And ours has already ended.
But you didn't come to work
on your last day.
I remember you telling me
I don't need to come to work anymore.
All right, fine.
I'd like to sign a new contract.
No, thank you.
I thought I was your sole VIP.
You can't treat me like this
just because our contract ended.
But you humiliated me.
That was never my intention.
What was it that you said again?
"An act of goodwill"?
Ms. Choi.
I've never once violated
the terms of our contract.
So what is the problem?
Must clients always get the short end?
-What did you say?
-I…
need you, Ms. Choi.
Why is that?
Gosh, you're even eating all alone.
Judge Jung. Say hello.
They're the members
of the married men's club.
There's no court in Korea
with stronger solidarity than ours.
Judge Jung may appear to be
a little awkward at first,
but his wife is something else.
You can look forward to seeing her.
-Well, enjoy your lunch then.
-Yes, sir.
Isn't your housewarming party this Friday?
My Queen was
absolutely charmed by your wife.
She's been at the department store
all weekend to pick out a gift for her.
I'm starting to wish
they only opened once a year.
Don't ruin this.
And stop eating alone.
The saddest meal is one eaten alone.
Now my work life
depends entirely on you, Ms. Choi.
The repercussions of my service,
including the housewarming party,
are entirely your responsibility,
not mine.
It sounds to me like you were
aware of the possibility
that I may have to hold
a housewarming party.
In the field of law,
that's called "willful negligence."
It's punishable by law.
-But…
-Right.
Get this, Ms. Choi.
According to…
Article 8, Clause 2 of the contract,
I think I'm eligible for customer service.
That doesn't mean
I'm obligated to provide customer service.
In fact, it's all at my discretion.
Now please excuse me.
Are you hurt?
Gosh, I'm sorry. What was that?
Ms. Choi,
Listen.
There's even a group chat now
just for that housewarming party.
What do I do now?
-Is this funny?
-Fine.
Tomorrow happens to be a Monday,
and since you live a floor up
from my Monday client,
I'll drop by briefly before work.
"Monday client"?
Aren't Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays reserved for me?
That used to be the case.
Bye now.
Gosh, what's with him?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
I just want to remove all these curtains.
Isn't Hae-jin's house really nice?
It's my life's dream to live here.
I wonder what it's like inside.
He's so dreamy.
Good morning, Judge Jung.
Judge Jung, did you hurt your…
He was always cold to me,
but never this mad.
What did I do?
Hey, he's the same with us.
So how about we discuss that?
The housewarming party.
Haven't you all had enough
putting up with our uptight boss?
-What do you say?
-I'm in.
Is this the decision you made
after comparing your life
with petals with scars on them?
But don't let this burden you.
I only did this out of goodwill.
Do you wish to extend our contract?
Nope!
In fact, never, ever. I decline.
So take that big fat no!
What was that?
Oh, sorry.
I've been…
waiting for you.
Liar!
Who? Me?
Or…
No, that was nothing.
I mean it. It's really nothing.
I'm so sorry.
So…
Why are you dressed like that at home?
You don't maintain dignity
for recognition from others.
Choosing a man who can't even hold
his chopsticks properly…
Don't do that.
Is that woman your mother or something?
She believes she has the right
to be that way.
And by the way, she really has a way
of attacking your self-esteem.
So go back to your taekwondo school
where they call you "sir," okay?
It's "Master," thank you.
The point is,
get back to your daily life, Gwang-nam.
Do you hear me?
All right.
Did you get her permission?
Why should I ask for her permission?
Well, I saw the key on the shoe cabinet,
so I assumed she'd left it there for you,
so you don't have to drive that tiny junk.
Don't start thinking so highly of her.
She can come to me if she has a problem.
I'm off.
Drive safe.
CLUB OWNER
-Yes, hello?
-Hey, you!
Get over here right now.
Yes, sir.
-Taekwon! Thank you, Master!
-Thank you, Master!
Good work today!
-Hello.
-Oh, hey.
-Gwang-nam!
-Hey, Gwang-nam!
-Why are you here?
-Huh?
Are you really quitting because of Se-mi?
That middle-schooler
who has a huge crush on him?
-Yes.
-I thought you'd talked to her.
-Yes.
-Well, guess what.
After she asked him out in public,
that brat must've been
humiliated to be rejected
because she's been spreading rumors.
That Gwang-nam likes guys.
-Guys?
-Yes!
Wow, kids these days are scary.
I know. They can be really scary.
But why should you quit?
It's not like you did anything wrong.
Tell me about it.
You can't quit.
Woo Gwang-nam.
Come with me.
Why should you put up with all that?
Did you somehow mislead Se-mi
into thinking you were into her too?
What?
She's like my niece.
What are you talking about?
There you go then.
Her mother came in here screaming
and threw a huge fit.
So I yelled back at her.
That I'll sue them for defamation.
That's when that brat,
Se-mi, chickened out,
and confessed
that she'd made up everything.
Hey, you should've told me
about these things.
There's such a thing as
being too nice, you know.
Now go get changed into your uniform.
Your locker is still there.
We have each other's backs.
You should know that.
What are you doing?
Master.
I mean, look, man.
I've done nothing shameful
as a taekwondo master.
Everyone knows that.
-But it's true.
-What is?
I've been thinking about it.
About whether I should tell you.
Go on then, no pressure.
I do date men.
But I've never let it affect my work.
That's my principle.
But seeing how much you trust me,
it only felt right that I tell you.
Because loyalty is what we stand by.
I'm really touched.
I'll go get ready for class.
Actually, I'll just get going.
Thank you for everything.
-Hello!
-Hello!
I think the problem is
that you've grown on me.
So how about you have dinner with me
until I'm mentally…
ready?
Fine.
Let's terminate our contract.
On one condition. Not my neighbor.
Because…
Well, because…
Gosh, why am I always like this
in front of this door?
Regarding the housewarming party
in question on Friday…
After a fair review,
I've decided to offer my services.
I won't deny that I'm partly to blame.
As I told you before,
our chief judge has included us
in the couples club of our court.
Because he thought highly
of your interpersonal skills.
So aromatic.
The club is known
to get together frequently.
I'll do my best to excuse us,
but if that's not possible,
I'll try and schedule it
on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.
By that, do you mean
you want to extend our current contract?
I thought I'd made it clear
that I find it offensive to be hired
for no particular reason.
Wouldn't you agree
that my manner of speech…
is extremely problematic?
Extremely.
Well, I've been having
some trouble at work.
I'm in constant conflict
with those who work in my office.
The only one who trusts
and looks out for me
is the chief judge, who you've met.
No matter how proficient you are,
if I don't change,
I'll ruin everything in the end.
If he turns his back on me too…
I'll really have no place at work.
I'll be honest.
I need your coaching, Ms. Choi.
Let's make this clear.
I don't want to feel like
I owe you anything
because of your "act of goodwill."
I also have to check my availability.
Check your availability?
Right now, Mr. Kang has signed up
for three days a week.
He hasn't designated
any days in particular.
How about Tuesdays, Thursdays,
and Saturdays?
I don't want this one-way decision
to cause a misunderstanding.
I'm your Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays client.
Why don't you tell him yourself?
Tell him to come down.
Okay.
He says to come up if you want to talk.
Why should we talk about our contract
at someone else's house?
Because my other client
needs to give his consent too.
What time do you start, Ms. Choi?
-In 30 minutes.
-So your work hasn't started yet.
Tell him to come down.
Why don't you come down?
Come down, I said.
And you, come with me.
Pardon?
What are you doing? Let's go.
Ms. Choi.
Ms. Choi?
Wait…
We're exactly in the middle.
I don't want any complaints now.
What's this?
I thought you ended your contract,
so why go back on your word now?
No personal attacks!
So, the two of you are entitled
to three days a week,
except for Sundays,
for the next three months.
-What?
-I told you, didn't I?
I'm retiring.
Now that it's been decided
that the contract period
will be three months,
I guess what's remaining is
to determine which days of the week.
I'll take Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
We've spent those days as a married couple
for the past five years.
Please take the other days.
You haven't signed a contract yet.
You can't tell me what to do
when you're not even a client.
Tuesdays are the days
that I review the written judgments.
On Thursdays, I review the cases
for the following week.
If you don't mind.
I've got this and that going on
on those days too.
Come on, now.
Wouldn't you be ticked off too?
I mean, I signed with you first, didn't I?
So why should he have a say
after all this time?
Are you busier than me?
I believe I was there first.
So what? You should've stayed, then.
What's this now?
You both have been warned.
I'm failing to see
why I should be treated the same as…
Anyway, I have the right to decide,
and I'd never…
Fine, I'll make concessions.
On one condition.
You're to look after Jamie.
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays
when Ms. Choi is at work.
I don't like cats.
Well, I don't love the idea of Jamie
going to another guy's house.
But Ms. Choi is allergic to cats,
and Jamie tries to attack her
every chance she gets.
Forget it. Seeing how you can't agree,
it's clear you're not desperate
for my service after all.
Fine.
I'll put up with the cat.
"Put up with the cat"?
Will you be all right?
It's better than having someone
be exposed to the risk of tetanus
three times a week.
Do you think my baby is some wild beast?
All right, fine.
Then, Mr. Kang Hae-jin,
since your Tuesday evening is free,
I'll postpone today's service to then.
You know his schedule by heart.
He works irregular hours.
As for you, I'll see you on Wednesday.
Looks like a one-sided victory
for someone.
Since we're done here, please excuse me.
He may be a judge,
but he's not so intimidating from up here.
Did you see how he couldn't come up?
Did he find me too overwhelming
to get close to or something?
You know how people say
celebrities give off a certain vibe.
It could just be that he didn't want to
get closer to your place.
What?
Come on, he can't be that childish.
Seriously?
Yes, just for three months.
I'm good at what I do,
and there are people
who happen to require my skills.
I've been…
waiting for you.
Maybe…
he doesn't want to let me go.
Why else would he wait for me?
I…
need you, Ms. Choi.
Because he needed me!
Not me, but the "single life helper"!
Ms. Choi is allergic to cats,
and Jamie tries to attack her
every chance she gets.
Fine. I'll put up with the cat.
No, don't read too much into it.
"No, don't read too much into it."
Hey! How did you get in here?
And don't you know how to knock?
Who knocks at his wife's door?
She's constantly doubting
whether I'm really your husband!
Let's just sleep in the same bed!
I told her we were married,
not happily married.
-Get out!
-But what am I…
Get out! I'm tired.
Gosh, he's getting on my nerves.
What's wrong with him?
You finished your work for the day,
so why this fashion show?
Can't you tell?
This is my loungewear.
It's like I threw something on,
but I still manage to look chic.
-Weren't you leaving?
-After I see your wife-to-be.
Your agency and your home
are in total chaos.
Don't you think you're too calm?
But he told me not to worry.
He's talking to the family for me,
apparently.
He's been stopping your mother
and Kangjin secretaries
from barging into our office,
saying they want to talk to you directly.
"Do you want to see him
on the news again?"
"He's not in his right mind right now."
"You know he's a nutcase."
"And a proactive one."
"If you pressure him,
who knows what he'll do next?"
That's our Mr. Choi.
He sure is good at his job.
Anyway, whoever she is,
you must be pretty serious about her.
What do you mean?
Have you ever seen me loosen up,
even at home?
Didn't you see the paparazzi outside?
I just can't let my guard down.
So here I am, pulling off
the "effortlessly chic" for my fans.
That's not what I mean.
You're all smiles these days.
I've never seen you like that.
Will you just leave now?
I'll come in tomorrow.
I'm going to hold a press conference
regarding my wedding,
so schedule a time with President Choi.
This is strictly for business,
so don't get any other ideas.
Come on.
Shouldn't you at least tell me who she is?
Will you just go?
-Is that your wife-to-be?
-No, Jamie's pet sitter.
You hired someone?
Just go!
This is concerning my private life.
Hello, come in.
You're quite punctual.
Go.
Who, me?
Give me the cat, then.
Go ahead and take her.
Right, you can't touch her, can you?
Sure. I'll take her, then.
Cat.
Cat?
What?
Give me that.
And can you take a step back?
Sure.
No way.
Don't feed her anything other than this.
Okay?
Sure.
Welcome, Ms. Choi.
Even you would agree
that I'm the victor, wouldn't you?
It's good to see the neighbors
getting along.
Not bad.
What? I was a chess prodigy.
So why did you take him back?
I thought you were
never going to see him again.
I wasn't going to.
Not after that "act of goodwill" crap.
What a weirdo.
I actually thought he liked me.
In a very eccentric way, that is.
Be honest with me.
With your looks and background,
you thought everyone would like you,
didn't you?
Maybe a little.
-Pretty arrogant, right?
-Totally.
But I totally get it.
But I was completely wrong.
-It's probably not easy though.
-What do you mean?
To not fall for you
after spending so much time with you.
Why do you think I remember you?
I don't know, because I'm pretty?
Come on,
I'm always surrounded by beauties.
You're different.
Of course you're beautiful and smart.
You were perfect. But…
I pitied you.
She'll have the world at her feet.
She'll certainly make the perfect wife.
The perfect wife who will assist
her husband's business.
Dear…
Dear!
-My goodness!
-My gosh!
Jamie!
Jamie!
I saw a woman who kicked down
those sturdy castle walls.
She was a feisty woman,
fearless and out of control.
But I found myself pitying her.
She looked like she needed warmth.
How do you feel about that one?
I almost got you.
Whatever.
Anyway, that "act of goodwill,"
or whatever he said…
Doesn't that mean he has feelings for you?
As a guy myself,
I think that's what it means.
I wouldn't let my guard down
if I were you.
Checkmate.
What? What the…
How about you show me some goodwill too?
Absolutely not.
Jeez, you're so heartless.
Just when I was distracted.
I wonder how she's been.
Jamie.
Jamie?
Jamie?
Jamie, where are you?
Jamie.
Jamie!
-Hey, where's my baby?
-Amy.
What was that? "Amy"?
Amy.
Jamie…
I know this is rather violent,
but you'll have to be
locked up for a while.
Your owner can't take you home otherwise.
What did you call my Jamie just now?
-"Amy."
-You can't call my cat whatever you want.
You saw how well she responded.
I won't pressure you to call her the same,
so rest assured.
Look, this isn't about that…
If you really love your cat,
you'll understand it's necessary for her
to bond with her pet sitter.
All right.
You're good to go.
Jamie.
Were you all right?
Bye now.
Amy.
Goodness, Ms. Yu.
You're so early.
I told you there was no need
to come all this way.
Ms. Yu, why don't we sit down?
There's a nice cafe
just across the street.
All right.
A warning's in order.
Please.
No, sit down.
Ms. Yu, here's your coffee.
We heard you got involved in some lawsuit.
We were extremely worried about you.
I need to see the chairman.
Sure.
Pardon?
The chairman?
I don't care what happens to me,
but I hate being in debt.
Now I owe something
to someone I'd rather not.
Better I go to him than his spouse,
don't you think?
Hold on a second.
-Why should we--
-Go tell him
that I'd like a meeting with him
on the topic of Jamie.
Why should INA Group
be swayed by that woman?
Just don't, okay?
This is ridiculous.
I'm going nuts.
How did you not know
when you're always with him?
But it just doesn't make sense.
Unless this woman appeared out of nowhere.
Maybe he hired someone.
He actually might have.
But he did look happy,
like he was in love.
His photoshoot went great.
He doesn't fall in love.
You must not know,
but his brain works
exactly the same as his father, okay?
He always gets mad
about how his mother is treated,
but he's no different.
He's not the type to be blinded by love
and date someone
who won't do him any good.
That's true, yes.
But you know
how calculative he is about everything.
So he has it all planned out.
Hey, I'm telling you.
This is all just a show.
My love, your love, Kang Hae-jin!
All right, shall we now
listen to your plan?
I'm awfully curious to hear
about your ingenious business idea.
All right, here it is.
I have finally…
fallen in love.
We can't see each other every day
due to our careers,
but we'll be living together soon.
I think you know her.
She used to be married
to the guy downstairs.
-Have you met her?
-Oh my.
What the hell are you on about?
Are you telling me you had an affair
with your neighbor's wife?
But you just moved in there!
This makes no sense!
-Be honest with me.
-You're right.
It's rather short of a time
for any romantic developments.
But what if this woman
turned out to be
the first love of Kang Hae-jin?
No way.
-The human Jamie?
-What? Human what?
Bingo.
I bumped into my first love by fate
at my new home.
And this old flame
wasn't rekindled over time.
Sparks flew.
And so I was blinded by love.
Hey, I know times have somewhat changed,
but this may end your career!
No. Affairs aren't a crime.
Maybe in a civil lawsuit.
But even that's been sorted out.
I settled the matter with her husband.
There's no risk of this being leaked
if you can keep quiet
until it's all been sorted out.
Hae-jin. Are you serious?
Why are you with someone like her?
I told you, didn't I?
Love has made me blind.
Do you think I take after my mom?
I don't care if I lose everything.
All right, let's all go home.
Judge Jung, what's with the helmet?
It looked like there would be traffic.
Gosh! You weren't
in such a rush yesterday.
You must have a date
with your wife this evening.
Right?
You should recommend
some nice restaurants you go to.
He straight-up hates me, doesn't he?
We'll see about that
at the housewarming party!
I'll be working outside today.
See you at the INA Department Store
in Sinsa-dong, at 6:30 p.m.
We'll have this and this.
You could get both of them
with the couples' special.
Oh, you're right.
He can't have any soda,
so he'll have an earl grey instead.
And no cilantro, extra bean sprouts.
-Yes, certainly.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
That's a lot of bean sprouts.
How did you get along with the cat?
Yes, well…
If you don't like cats, why did you…
She's more docile than you think.
How did you know where I live?
I saw your details
when we filed for marriage.
You'd stayed at one address
for quite a long time.
How did you get to know me
in the first place?
You'd appeared in my court before.
Quite a few times, actually.
You were the judge
at my divorce court hearings?
I guess the judge's gown
does make people look different.
But then again, my purpose was to lose,
so there was no need for me
to look pleadingly at you.
Did you suspect I was some gold digger
and start investigating me?
I was worried you were involved
in criminal activities.
And I was going through
some difficult times myself.
But since you're all about privacy,
I'm sure you won't ask
any further questions.
Of course not.
I noticed you wrote "working outside,"
not "eating out," in your text.
Why would I dine out with you?
I only called you here today
for the housewarming preparations.
I beg your pardon?
You need a lot of things
for a housewarming party.
The vibe in a bachelor pad is different
from that of a married couple's house.
Do we have to buy a lot of things?
Very much so.
So make sure to eat up.
All right.
Bon appétit.
Which one do you like?
How about this one?
Looks too heavy.
How about this one?
It's a bit too bachelor-y.
Right.
Is this a bit more eccentric?
It looks like a snowman.
I think something with more color.
Mr. Jung!
Why are you picking out socks
all of a sudden?
My socks are worn out.
You can get them later.
I brought some cheap ones from over there.
But why so many?
They're consumables, so why not stock up?
It's not like they're toilet paper.
Put them back.
I… okay.
Oh, and how about these?
Just put it on top of the stack.
-Ah, yes.
-We've got work to do.
PUPPY CUSHION SE
-Your hand's all dirty.
-All right.
Hello.
Even if I were married,
I don't think
I'd particularly enjoy taking photos.
But Mr. Jung Ji-ho
is a very caring husband
who puts his wife first.
All you need to do is smile.
Now smile for me.
-But that's…
-One, two, three.
Come on, what's with that expression?
Here we go again.
One, two, three.
-What?
-Well…
Do you prefer chic, sexy,
cute, or innocent?
That's a lot of options for…
I'll go with chic.
You look handsome.
It's a compliment.
You should learn to smile.
Why are you crushing the flowers?
Sorry.
You're strangling them now.
Do I smell weird?
-No, not at all.
-Move your head in.
-I think we're done.
-Right.
Good work.
Ms. Choi.
Thank you.
I'll get in after you move the car.
Just a second.
Are you wondering why people get married
when it's so tiring?
I thought I had a strenuous job,
but this isn't easy either.
That's why so many couples break up
preparing for the wedding.
But you probably don't know.
I do know.
What it's like to prepare for a wedding.
There are many couples who come to court
whose troubles started then.
But I guess thanks to me,
you received
some intensive training today.
I've definitely heard a lifetime's worth
of a woman's nagging today.
But these little conflicts
can make love grow deeper.
Oh, there was a mosquito.
Sorry to startle you while you're driving.
Your collarbone
Is just so sexy
So sexy that I just want to plant a kiss
Our anniversary, our refrigerator
Our photos, our secrets
Our whispers…
About the housewarming party.
Your guests will be asking
all sorts of questions.
Like what?
For example…
who asked who out first,
or who fell for who first.
Or where we had our first date.
Let's say I asked you out first.
But in return,
we'll say you fell for me first.
Our first date was at a volunteer group,
and we were each other's first love.
First love.
But why the volunteer group?
It's a statement about your character.
So let's say that's where we met.
Oh, but I'll have to know
more about your parents too.
I'm an orphan.
They both passed away when I was little.
I'm sorry.
It was a long time ago.
Both of mine passed away too,
when I was little.
Really?
You grew up to be a very fine man.
They'd be proud.
Your parents would be too.
You're a fine woman.
This is kind of funny.
Telling each other
that our parents would be proud.
Gosh, why is it so hot in here?
And so many mosquitoes too.
I read in a book
on interpersonal relationships
that it's an unspoken rule to reciprocate
when someone shares something
that they've never talked about before.
You talked about your parents earlier, so…
I must have done well
as a teacher tonight,
seeing how you're remembering such things.
Go on then.
I had a first love.
I was even married to her.
I don't understand
why I have to share this,
but those are the rules, right?
Well, thanks for driving me
all the way home.
Damn it.
I hate mountains.
I'm so tired, Sang-eun.
I could die right now.
How were you even an athlete?
I'm only a fourth dan in taekwondo.
How could I compete with you,
with 18 dans combined?
I don't think that's what it is.
Remember when I was into triathlon?
It's probably that.
You've got to learn
how to not do anything.
Working with a busy celebrity
sure has its perks.
You can actually get a day off.
You must get paid
for cancellations on his end.
I only get paid when I work.
Just tell me what happened
with Mr. Pension last night.
You were completely out of it all day.
-What's with you?
-I was not.
I knew you were having your first love
in your old age a long time ago.
How can you be
this clueless about yourself?
Hey, I think the most childish, vain,
and clichéd word out there
is "first love," okay?
Why are you getting so worked up?
Did he tell you about
his first love or something?
What are you talking about?
What is wrong with you today?
Wow, I wish you could see your face.
You look like you got slapped
real hard with some facts!
-What? Slapped?
-Yes.
You crossed the line. Come here.
-Have you been slapped real hard?
-We're in public.
Come on, we're in public.
-I could use some exercise. Come here.
-No, you don't.
-No, stop it.
-Come here, I said.
Hey, why are you running away?
Oh man, when will we ever get down?
How did Mr. Pension
follow you all the way here?
In a suit and dress shoes?
So how far are we?
Are we even halfway down?
Bye now.
Who am I even talking to?
Cut! Okay!
-Splendid.
-That's what I'm talking about.
-That was amazing.
-Not bad, right?
Yes, it was very good.
-Great work.
-Good work, everyone!
Hello, Mr. Kang. Do you need something?
No, I don't "need something."
I've got eyes on me wherever I go.
It doesn't make sense
for me to not call my fiancée all day
when I just announced our marriage.
Did you eat yet, babe?
What did you have? Was it yummy?
No.
Didn't you say
your schedule today is hectic?
I had my makeup done at 2 a.m.
for a 5 a.m. start,
and I've been slaying
Baekje soldiers for 12 hours now.
Anyway, the guy downstairs
is a total lunatic.
-What do you mean?
-He called Jamie by some other name.
I still can't believe it
as I'm saying this.
I mean, who the heck is "Amy?"
Is it his favorite actress or something?
How can he give her another name
with me right upstairs?
Mr. Kang?
This conversation doesn't sound necessary.
Please excuse me.
What? Did she hang up on me?
So stingy.
Hae-jin.
They're rolling.
-Okay.
-Did you talk to Jamie?
Yes.
Hey, I have to talk to Jamie.
-But you just did.
-The other Jamie.
Tell them I need
a five-minute bathroom break.
Go on.
But…
"Amy"?
But why?
AMY
JAMIE
AMY
JAMIE
AMY
I can't figure him out.
Sleep out again?
I see you've fully returned
to your day-to-day life.
I haven't seen that box in a long time.
Housewarming party?
Have fun being a good wife.
Don't forget those "love shots."
"No drinking on the job" is my principle.
But are you really working?
Just kidding.
Take it easy.
Besides, isn't this a good chance
to show him what a catch you are?
Show him?
Why would I do that?
See you.
She's like a newborn
when it comes to love.
Whatever, I'm too tired for this.
There's no way
you're certified as anything.
I am, thank you!
Oh, my stomach.
I should get some sleep.
I feel so sick.
What the hell?
Did you just get up?
I just came back.
Out all night?
With Mr. Pension?
What's with the apron?
Were you kicked out?
Or is he into that?
I ran away, all right?
It started off normally.
Just another day at work.
So it was a piece of cake for me.
Yes, I just got here.
I'll take care of everything here,
so just arrive on time.
All right.
Yes.
Hello, please come in.
The kitchen is inside.
Chef. How have you been?
I want the colors to pop.
Love that smell.
-Hello.
-Welcome.
Oh my, hello.
-Hello.
-Thank you. You didn't have to.
Thank you.
-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello.
Thank you. Please come in.
Gosh, what a lovely place.
This place is so lovely.
Honey, look at that light.
Isn't that like a halo?
-Why don't we also get one?
-That's enough.
-But it's so lovely.
-We have one that's just as fine.
It's so modern and elegant.
Can you take a picture for me?
One, two, three.
What is all this?
I'll get rid of everything later.
Just stop acting like a guest.
I'm serious!
Kang Hae-jin lives in this building too.
-Really?
-Yes.
I'm sorry we invited you so late.
You must be starving.
Shall we have dinner first?
I purposely told everyone
to bring their spouses.
Knowing what a ruthless man he is,
I thought this could be his chance
to learn from others.
But well, my goodness.
I should learn from him.
I don't know what to say.
When did you go
to all those places with your wife?
You've been everywhere.
I'm even starting to think
I've been wrong about him all these years.
You sure are a happily married couple.
Shall we all sit down?
Yes, let's have a seat.
Look, they have golden spoons, Honey.
-Honey, that's enough.
-My goodness.
I guess I've been
to the Great Wall of China.
I'll keep my toast very classy today.
Raise your glasses, players.
Bring it in.
-Bring it in!
-Bring it in!
Now bring them back.
-Bring them back!
-Bring them back!
-Bottoms up.
-Bottoms up.
Let's get turnt.
This is a beautiful evening.
It's so delicious.
Okay, so you kept it professional.
Everything was fine.
Yes, and I should've stayed that way.
He sure is on another level.
Aren't you jealous?
I mean, a beautiful house,
and a wife who looks like an actress.
Now I'm starting to see
Judge Jung in a new light,
seeing what a nice person his wife is.
Well, if I lived in a place like this
with a husband who's a judge,
I'd be the nicest person ever.
And did you notice
how they barely drank any alcohol?
They're trying to stay sober
so they can be classy
to leave a good impression,
and then judge
whoever makes a dumb, drunk mistake.
I'd say she's much worse than Judge Jung.
Oh my. But how do you know all that?
My job is to uncover the truth
behind married couples with problems.
I focus on the truth within,
not the frills on the outside.
Now that's something
to look out for today.
Let's class it up again.
Raise them glasses.
Give me some love.
Now pull them back.
Here, have a glass.
You know I don't drink, sir.
Come on, you're the host today.
Just one drink.
Come on now.
I'll drink it.
I thought you were holding back
because you're trying to have children.
I have a weakness for good whisky.
Single malt is love, after all.
I knew you had a lot of love in you.
I knew it.
Here.
How about we do the wave?
-Starting from here.
-From here!
Now that's one giant wave.
All right, round two.
-Here.
-Let me fill your glass.
Thank you.
-Can you hold your liquor?
-Yes.
I'll fill my own.
-Fill her up.
-How about another wave?
-Yes!
-Starting from here!
Starting from here!
Someone's about to drown.
So you drank?
You reek!
And?
Don't tell me…
You didn't put on a show, did you?
Nope!
I held back.
Why?
Because the host
should never be so frivolous.
As the chief judge at our court
I always desperately wish
For Judge Jung to
Fit in with his colleagues
Now that's the kind of
A chief judge I am
A chief judge with one secret skill
Doing the funky chicken!
Wonderful, so wonderful!
So let's all do the funky chicken…
-Bravo!
-Bravo!
The funky chicken…
You've got some
crazy beats going on there.
I used to play the drums back in college.
Wow, is there anything you can't do?
Oh no, you flatter me.
I could have done better.
-What is it, Honey?
-I have an announcement.
I've been waiting
for the right time to say this.
As the chief judge always says,
"Open your wallet
if you want to be a good boss!"
So we're going to hold a talent show,
and there's a cash prize
for the winning couple!
And there's some serious cash in here!
All right, allow me to demonstrate.
-I'm going to do impressions.
-Are you sure?
That wasn't my mouth making those sounds.
That was my hands, okay?
That's enough, please.
You're a terrible actress.
All right, then. Let's get started.
Whoever's ready!
I want to go first. Me!
Or do you want to go first?
Who wants to go first?
Why don't we go first?
I'll do a mime act, thank you.
-Nice.
-Oh, mime?
Sit back down!
-She just crashed into it.
-Oh my, she's so good.
Are you all right?
That way, it looks more real.
-You had us there for a second.
-Give them a big applause!
I've been learning belly dancing lately.
I'm so flexible
that I skipped a level in just two months.
-You're so good.
-You're amazing!
You're amazing!
Go! Go!
That was the best!
-That was great.
-You were really good.
-Respect.
-Yes, respect.
All right, everyone.
Let's keep the fever going
and do the piggy wrestle.
I'm confident
about not losing to anyone in this,
so please step up, one at a time,
and bring it on.
Let's go!
Honey, let's go.
This one is mine.
Ready, start!
-Honey!
-Honey!
-Come on!
-Let's go, let's go!
Is your back all right?
First of all,
let's give a big round of applause
to Ms. Choi,
who showed us
so many of her talents tonight.
And now for the finale!
Our winner tonight is…
She knocked down all the couples
with her brilliant dancing!
Ms. Kim Yu-mi!
Gosh, thank you!
I've never won anything in my life!
I didn't think
I'd ever come first in anything.
What's more,
I'm the only one who's single here.
Allow me to make a toast to celebrate.
I don't think this is fair.
Come on, first place?
I'm sure you all agree
that if we base this on talent alone,
there's no doubt that Ms. Choi…
I mean, my wife here
is clearly the winner.
Honey, not another
eccentric joke of yours.
I'm not joking.
And it's not about the prize money.
We just want the recognition
that we're the winning team.
Didn't I also win that piggy wrestle?
But you only won because you cheated.
How did I cheat?
You kicked me from behind
so slyly all of a sudden.
Isn't that how you win?
Everyone started out in the same posture,
holding their ankles,
so how was that cheating?
Fine, you can have it.
-I don't want the money.
-But you said you're the winner.
Here, take it.
Congratulations.
An applause for our winners!
-Give that back.
-Yes.
We'll try again next year.
Put that in your bag!
You still have a long way to go.
Jung Ji-ho was sure Jung Ji-ho.
How can he be so competitive?
That's when I started to drink away.
Why? Because I had to erase the memories
of everyone who was there.
So why did you run away?
Run away?
Hey, something strange
is happening to me right now.
And do you know what that is?
I've been awake this entire time,
keeping my eyes open.
And for some strange reason,
my memory is fading away.
What was it that I just said?
How did I even get home from there?
Just go to sleep.
I can't.
Yes, you can. Just sleep.
No, I can't black out now.
I have an appointment
with Kang Hae-jin this morning.
That's why if I don't pass out
and don't get sleep…
Yes.
I don't even have a hangover.
I should really go out
and get some fresh air now.
I think I'm starting to get tipsy.
Are you here, Ms. Choi?
What's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
Are you in shock?
I heard the garden here
is really beautiful.
So how about we go on a date
for the paparazzi?
Ms. Choi.
Ms. Choi.
I think you need to get some sleep.
I'm not that much of a mess.
I'm clocking out now.
At least let me call a cab--
That's all right, I hate being babied.
Then…
Want to get some sleep in the guest room?
It looks like you had too much to drink.
Oh no, I'm just
sleep-deprived, that's all.
I don't need a breath test
to know you're lying.
Were you drinking with the guy downstairs?
How can he make you drink until…
I guess I owe him one.
This is the first time
I don't hate being spied on.
Cheers!
All right, let's spin the bottle.
Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!
How barbaric of you.
Don't you know that physical contact
by compulsion is an act of crime?
-Act 298 of the Criminal Act…
-Always talking about the law.
He's not the only one who studied law.
You're all practitioners of law.
I can't believe…
I should just shut him up.
Why don't you be my first love?
HANGOVER DRINK
So he feels nothing,
even though we kissed?
That was my first kiss!
Give me back my first kiss!
So I was the only one
who was serious about all this.
Does she really have feelings for me?
My clients have reported
great customer satisfaction.
Maybe I should try this service sometime.
If you're done with your work,
I'll clean it up.
I wanted to see her before she left.
That woman is rough with cars.
What pretty lashes.
I must be crazy.
I must be seriously crazy.
Go away, dirty thoughts!
I'm scared you'll come to hate me.
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.
Why didn't you come to work on Friday?
Ms. Choi.
I know this isn't how you operate.
I've been…
waiting for you.
Your outfit doesn't look
appropriate for a hike.
No.
So I was wondering,
when do you plan to stop for a break?
I'd like to extend our contract.
Is he kidding me?
What does he take me for?
I said I'd like to extend our contract.
An "extension of a contract"
is something that's done
before the said contract expires.
And ours has already ended.
But you didn't come to work
on your last day.
I remember you telling me
I don't need to come to work anymore.
All right, fine.
I'd like to sign a new contract.
No, thank you.
I thought I was your sole VIP.
You can't treat me like this
just because our contract ended.
But you humiliated me.
That was never my intention.
What was it that you said again?
"An act of goodwill"?
Ms. Choi.
I've never once violated
the terms of our contract.
So what is the problem?
Must clients always get the short end?
-What did you say?
-I…
need you, Ms. Choi.
Why is that?
Gosh, you're even eating all alone.
Judge Jung. Say hello.
They're the members
of the married men's club.
There's no court in Korea
with stronger solidarity than ours.
Judge Jung may appear to be
a little awkward at first,
but his wife is something else.
You can look forward to seeing her.
-Well, enjoy your lunch then.
-Yes, sir.
Isn't your housewarming party this Friday?
My Queen was
absolutely charmed by your wife.
She's been at the department store
all weekend to pick out a gift for her.
I'm starting to wish
they only opened once a year.
Don't ruin this.
And stop eating alone.
The saddest meal is one eaten alone.
Now my work life
depends entirely on you, Ms. Choi.
The repercussions of my service,
including the housewarming party,
are entirely your responsibility,
not mine.
It sounds to me like you were
aware of the possibility
that I may have to hold
a housewarming party.
In the field of law,
that's called "willful negligence."
It's punishable by law.
-But…
-Right.
Get this, Ms. Choi.
According to…
Article 8, Clause 2 of the contract,
I think I'm eligible for customer service.
That doesn't mean
I'm obligated to provide customer service.
In fact, it's all at my discretion.
Now please excuse me.
Are you hurt?
Gosh, I'm sorry. What was that?
Ms. Choi,
Listen.
There's even a group chat now
just for that housewarming party.
What do I do now?
-Is this funny?
-Fine.
Tomorrow happens to be a Monday,
and since you live a floor up
from my Monday client,
I'll drop by briefly before work.
"Monday client"?
Aren't Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays reserved for me?
That used to be the case.
Bye now.
Gosh, what's with him?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
I just want to remove all these curtains.
Isn't Hae-jin's house really nice?
It's my life's dream to live here.
I wonder what it's like inside.
He's so dreamy.
Good morning, Judge Jung.
Judge Jung, did you hurt your…
He was always cold to me,
but never this mad.
What did I do?
Hey, he's the same with us.
So how about we discuss that?
The housewarming party.
Haven't you all had enough
putting up with our uptight boss?
-What do you say?
-I'm in.
Is this the decision you made
after comparing your life
with petals with scars on them?
But don't let this burden you.
I only did this out of goodwill.
Do you wish to extend our contract?
Nope!
In fact, never, ever. I decline.
So take that big fat no!
What was that?
Oh, sorry.
I've been…
waiting for you.
Liar!
Who? Me?
Or…
No, that was nothing.
I mean it. It's really nothing.
I'm so sorry.
So…
Why are you dressed like that at home?
You don't maintain dignity
for recognition from others.
Choosing a man who can't even hold
his chopsticks properly…
Don't do that.
Is that woman your mother or something?
She believes she has the right
to be that way.
And by the way, she really has a way
of attacking your self-esteem.
So go back to your taekwondo school
where they call you "sir," okay?
It's "Master," thank you.
The point is,
get back to your daily life, Gwang-nam.
Do you hear me?
All right.
Did you get her permission?
Why should I ask for her permission?
Well, I saw the key on the shoe cabinet,
so I assumed she'd left it there for you,
so you don't have to drive that tiny junk.
Don't start thinking so highly of her.
She can come to me if she has a problem.
I'm off.
Drive safe.
CLUB OWNER
-Yes, hello?
-Hey, you!
Get over here right now.
Yes, sir.
-Taekwon! Thank you, Master!
-Thank you, Master!
Good work today!
-Hello.
-Oh, hey.
-Gwang-nam!
-Hey, Gwang-nam!
-Why are you here?
-Huh?
Are you really quitting because of Se-mi?
That middle-schooler
who has a huge crush on him?
-Yes.
-I thought you'd talked to her.
-Yes.
-Well, guess what.
After she asked him out in public,
that brat must've been
humiliated to be rejected
because she's been spreading rumors.
That Gwang-nam likes guys.
-Guys?
-Yes!
Wow, kids these days are scary.
I know. They can be really scary.
But why should you quit?
It's not like you did anything wrong.
Tell me about it.
You can't quit.
Woo Gwang-nam.
Come with me.
Why should you put up with all that?
Did you somehow mislead Se-mi
into thinking you were into her too?
What?
She's like my niece.
What are you talking about?
There you go then.
Her mother came in here screaming
and threw a huge fit.
So I yelled back at her.
That I'll sue them for defamation.
That's when that brat,
Se-mi, chickened out,
and confessed
that she'd made up everything.
Hey, you should've told me
about these things.
There's such a thing as
being too nice, you know.
Now go get changed into your uniform.
Your locker is still there.
We have each other's backs.
You should know that.
What are you doing?
Master.
I mean, look, man.
I've done nothing shameful
as a taekwondo master.
Everyone knows that.
-But it's true.
-What is?
I've been thinking about it.
About whether I should tell you.
Go on then, no pressure.
I do date men.
But I've never let it affect my work.
That's my principle.
But seeing how much you trust me,
it only felt right that I tell you.
Because loyalty is what we stand by.
I'm really touched.
I'll go get ready for class.
Actually, I'll just get going.
Thank you for everything.
-Hello!
-Hello!
I think the problem is
that you've grown on me.
So how about you have dinner with me
until I'm mentally…
ready?
Fine.
Let's terminate our contract.
On one condition. Not my neighbor.
Because…
Well, because…
Gosh, why am I always like this
in front of this door?
Regarding the housewarming party
in question on Friday…
After a fair review,
I've decided to offer my services.
I won't deny that I'm partly to blame.
As I told you before,
our chief judge has included us
in the couples club of our court.
Because he thought highly
of your interpersonal skills.
So aromatic.
The club is known
to get together frequently.
I'll do my best to excuse us,
but if that's not possible,
I'll try and schedule it
on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.
By that, do you mean
you want to extend our current contract?
I thought I'd made it clear
that I find it offensive to be hired
for no particular reason.
Wouldn't you agree
that my manner of speech…
is extremely problematic?
Extremely.
Well, I've been having
some trouble at work.
I'm in constant conflict
with those who work in my office.
The only one who trusts
and looks out for me
is the chief judge, who you've met.
No matter how proficient you are,
if I don't change,
I'll ruin everything in the end.
If he turns his back on me too…
I'll really have no place at work.
I'll be honest.
I need your coaching, Ms. Choi.
Let's make this clear.
I don't want to feel like
I owe you anything
because of your "act of goodwill."
I also have to check my availability.
Check your availability?
Right now, Mr. Kang has signed up
for three days a week.
He hasn't designated
any days in particular.
How about Tuesdays, Thursdays,
and Saturdays?
I don't want this one-way decision
to cause a misunderstanding.
I'm your Mondays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays client.
Why don't you tell him yourself?
Tell him to come down.
Okay.
He says to come up if you want to talk.
Why should we talk about our contract
at someone else's house?
Because my other client
needs to give his consent too.
What time do you start, Ms. Choi?
-In 30 minutes.
-So your work hasn't started yet.
Tell him to come down.
Why don't you come down?
Come down, I said.
And you, come with me.
Pardon?
What are you doing? Let's go.
Ms. Choi.
Ms. Choi?
Wait…
We're exactly in the middle.
I don't want any complaints now.
What's this?
I thought you ended your contract,
so why go back on your word now?
No personal attacks!
So, the two of you are entitled
to three days a week,
except for Sundays,
for the next three months.
-What?
-I told you, didn't I?
I'm retiring.
Now that it's been decided
that the contract period
will be three months,
I guess what's remaining is
to determine which days of the week.
I'll take Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
We've spent those days as a married couple
for the past five years.
Please take the other days.
You haven't signed a contract yet.
You can't tell me what to do
when you're not even a client.
Tuesdays are the days
that I review the written judgments.
On Thursdays, I review the cases
for the following week.
If you don't mind.
I've got this and that going on
on those days too.
Come on, now.
Wouldn't you be ticked off too?
I mean, I signed with you first, didn't I?
So why should he have a say
after all this time?
Are you busier than me?
I believe I was there first.
So what? You should've stayed, then.
What's this now?
You both have been warned.
I'm failing to see
why I should be treated the same as…
Anyway, I have the right to decide,
and I'd never…
Fine, I'll make concessions.
On one condition.
You're to look after Jamie.
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays
when Ms. Choi is at work.
I don't like cats.
Well, I don't love the idea of Jamie
going to another guy's house.
But Ms. Choi is allergic to cats,
and Jamie tries to attack her
every chance she gets.
Forget it. Seeing how you can't agree,
it's clear you're not desperate
for my service after all.
Fine.
I'll put up with the cat.
"Put up with the cat"?
Will you be all right?
It's better than having someone
be exposed to the risk of tetanus
three times a week.
Do you think my baby is some wild beast?
All right, fine.
Then, Mr. Kang Hae-jin,
since your Tuesday evening is free,
I'll postpone today's service to then.
You know his schedule by heart.
He works irregular hours.
As for you, I'll see you on Wednesday.
Looks like a one-sided victory
for someone.
Since we're done here, please excuse me.
He may be a judge,
but he's not so intimidating from up here.
Did you see how he couldn't come up?
Did he find me too overwhelming
to get close to or something?
You know how people say
celebrities give off a certain vibe.
It could just be that he didn't want to
get closer to your place.
What?
Come on, he can't be that childish.
Seriously?
Yes, just for three months.
I'm good at what I do,
and there are people
who happen to require my skills.
I've been…
waiting for you.
Maybe…
he doesn't want to let me go.
Why else would he wait for me?
I…
need you, Ms. Choi.
Because he needed me!
Not me, but the "single life helper"!
Ms. Choi is allergic to cats,
and Jamie tries to attack her
every chance she gets.
Fine. I'll put up with the cat.
No, don't read too much into it.
"No, don't read too much into it."
Hey! How did you get in here?
And don't you know how to knock?
Who knocks at his wife's door?
She's constantly doubting
whether I'm really your husband!
Let's just sleep in the same bed!
I told her we were married,
not happily married.
-Get out!
-But what am I…
Get out! I'm tired.
Gosh, he's getting on my nerves.
What's wrong with him?
You finished your work for the day,
so why this fashion show?
Can't you tell?
This is my loungewear.
It's like I threw something on,
but I still manage to look chic.
-Weren't you leaving?
-After I see your wife-to-be.
Your agency and your home
are in total chaos.
Don't you think you're too calm?
But he told me not to worry.
He's talking to the family for me,
apparently.
He's been stopping your mother
and Kangjin secretaries
from barging into our office,
saying they want to talk to you directly.
"Do you want to see him
on the news again?"
"He's not in his right mind right now."
"You know he's a nutcase."
"And a proactive one."
"If you pressure him,
who knows what he'll do next?"
That's our Mr. Choi.
He sure is good at his job.
Anyway, whoever she is,
you must be pretty serious about her.
What do you mean?
Have you ever seen me loosen up,
even at home?
Didn't you see the paparazzi outside?
I just can't let my guard down.
So here I am, pulling off
the "effortlessly chic" for my fans.
That's not what I mean.
You're all smiles these days.
I've never seen you like that.
Will you just leave now?
I'll come in tomorrow.
I'm going to hold a press conference
regarding my wedding,
so schedule a time with President Choi.
This is strictly for business,
so don't get any other ideas.
Come on.
Shouldn't you at least tell me who she is?
Will you just go?
-Is that your wife-to-be?
-No, Jamie's pet sitter.
You hired someone?
Just go!
This is concerning my private life.
Hello, come in.
You're quite punctual.
Go.
Who, me?
Give me the cat, then.
Go ahead and take her.
Right, you can't touch her, can you?
Sure. I'll take her, then.
Cat.
Cat?
What?
Give me that.
And can you take a step back?
Sure.
No way.
Don't feed her anything other than this.
Okay?
Sure.
Welcome, Ms. Choi.
Even you would agree
that I'm the victor, wouldn't you?
It's good to see the neighbors
getting along.
Not bad.
What? I was a chess prodigy.
So why did you take him back?
I thought you were
never going to see him again.
I wasn't going to.
Not after that "act of goodwill" crap.
What a weirdo.
I actually thought he liked me.
In a very eccentric way, that is.
Be honest with me.
With your looks and background,
you thought everyone would like you,
didn't you?
Maybe a little.
-Pretty arrogant, right?
-Totally.
But I totally get it.
But I was completely wrong.
-It's probably not easy though.
-What do you mean?
To not fall for you
after spending so much time with you.
Why do you think I remember you?
I don't know, because I'm pretty?
Come on,
I'm always surrounded by beauties.
You're different.
Of course you're beautiful and smart.
You were perfect. But…
I pitied you.
She'll have the world at her feet.
She'll certainly make the perfect wife.
The perfect wife who will assist
her husband's business.
Dear…
Dear!
-My goodness!
-My gosh!
Jamie!
Jamie!
I saw a woman who kicked down
those sturdy castle walls.
She was a feisty woman,
fearless and out of control.
But I found myself pitying her.
She looked like she needed warmth.
How do you feel about that one?
I almost got you.
Whatever.
Anyway, that "act of goodwill,"
or whatever he said…
Doesn't that mean he has feelings for you?
As a guy myself,
I think that's what it means.
I wouldn't let my guard down
if I were you.
Checkmate.
What? What the…
How about you show me some goodwill too?
Absolutely not.
Jeez, you're so heartless.
Just when I was distracted.
I wonder how she's been.
Jamie.
Jamie?
Jamie?
Jamie, where are you?
Jamie.
Jamie!
-Hey, where's my baby?
-Amy.
What was that? "Amy"?
Amy.
Jamie…
I know this is rather violent,
but you'll have to be
locked up for a while.
Your owner can't take you home otherwise.
What did you call my Jamie just now?
-"Amy."
-You can't call my cat whatever you want.
You saw how well she responded.
I won't pressure you to call her the same,
so rest assured.
Look, this isn't about that…
If you really love your cat,
you'll understand it's necessary for her
to bond with her pet sitter.
All right.
You're good to go.
Jamie.
Were you all right?
Bye now.
Amy.
Goodness, Ms. Yu.
You're so early.
I told you there was no need
to come all this way.
Ms. Yu, why don't we sit down?
There's a nice cafe
just across the street.
All right.
A warning's in order.
Please.
No, sit down.
Ms. Yu, here's your coffee.
We heard you got involved in some lawsuit.
We were extremely worried about you.
I need to see the chairman.
Sure.
Pardon?
The chairman?
I don't care what happens to me,
but I hate being in debt.
Now I owe something
to someone I'd rather not.
Better I go to him than his spouse,
don't you think?
Hold on a second.
-Why should we--
-Go tell him
that I'd like a meeting with him
on the topic of Jamie.
Why should INA Group
be swayed by that woman?
Just don't, okay?
This is ridiculous.
I'm going nuts.
How did you not know
when you're always with him?
But it just doesn't make sense.
Unless this woman appeared out of nowhere.
Maybe he hired someone.
He actually might have.
But he did look happy,
like he was in love.
His photoshoot went great.
He doesn't fall in love.
You must not know,
but his brain works
exactly the same as his father, okay?
He always gets mad
about how his mother is treated,
but he's no different.
He's not the type to be blinded by love
and date someone
who won't do him any good.
That's true, yes.
But you know
how calculative he is about everything.
So he has it all planned out.
Hey, I'm telling you.
This is all just a show.
My love, your love, Kang Hae-jin!
All right, shall we now
listen to your plan?
I'm awfully curious to hear
about your ingenious business idea.
All right, here it is.
I have finally…
fallen in love.
We can't see each other every day
due to our careers,
but we'll be living together soon.
I think you know her.
She used to be married
to the guy downstairs.
-Have you met her?
-Oh my.
What the hell are you on about?
Are you telling me you had an affair
with your neighbor's wife?
But you just moved in there!
This makes no sense!
-Be honest with me.
-You're right.
It's rather short of a time
for any romantic developments.
But what if this woman
turned out to be
the first love of Kang Hae-jin?
No way.
-The human Jamie?
-What? Human what?
Bingo.
I bumped into my first love by fate
at my new home.
And this old flame
wasn't rekindled over time.
Sparks flew.
And so I was blinded by love.
Hey, I know times have somewhat changed,
but this may end your career!
No. Affairs aren't a crime.
Maybe in a civil lawsuit.
But even that's been sorted out.
I settled the matter with her husband.
There's no risk of this being leaked
if you can keep quiet
until it's all been sorted out.
Hae-jin. Are you serious?
Why are you with someone like her?
I told you, didn't I?
Love has made me blind.
Do you think I take after my mom?
I don't care if I lose everything.
All right, let's all go home.
Judge Jung, what's with the helmet?
It looked like there would be traffic.
Gosh! You weren't
in such a rush yesterday.
You must have a date
with your wife this evening.
Right?
You should recommend
some nice restaurants you go to.
He straight-up hates me, doesn't he?
We'll see about that
at the housewarming party!
I'll be working outside today.
See you at the INA Department Store
in Sinsa-dong, at 6:30 p.m.
We'll have this and this.
You could get both of them
with the couples' special.
Oh, you're right.
He can't have any soda,
so he'll have an earl grey instead.
And no cilantro, extra bean sprouts.
-Yes, certainly.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
That's a lot of bean sprouts.
How did you get along with the cat?
Yes, well…
If you don't like cats, why did you…
She's more docile than you think.
How did you know where I live?
I saw your details
when we filed for marriage.
You'd stayed at one address
for quite a long time.
How did you get to know me
in the first place?
You'd appeared in my court before.
Quite a few times, actually.
You were the judge
at my divorce court hearings?
I guess the judge's gown
does make people look different.
But then again, my purpose was to lose,
so there was no need for me
to look pleadingly at you.
Did you suspect I was some gold digger
and start investigating me?
I was worried you were involved
in criminal activities.
And I was going through
some difficult times myself.
But since you're all about privacy,
I'm sure you won't ask
any further questions.
Of course not.
I noticed you wrote "working outside,"
not "eating out," in your text.
Why would I dine out with you?
I only called you here today
for the housewarming preparations.
I beg your pardon?
You need a lot of things
for a housewarming party.
The vibe in a bachelor pad is different
from that of a married couple's house.
Do we have to buy a lot of things?
Very much so.
So make sure to eat up.
All right.
Bon appétit.
Which one do you like?
How about this one?
Looks too heavy.
How about this one?
It's a bit too bachelor-y.
Right.
Is this a bit more eccentric?
It looks like a snowman.
I think something with more color.
Mr. Jung!
Why are you picking out socks
all of a sudden?
My socks are worn out.
You can get them later.
I brought some cheap ones from over there.
But why so many?
They're consumables, so why not stock up?
It's not like they're toilet paper.
Put them back.
I… okay.
Oh, and how about these?
Just put it on top of the stack.
-Ah, yes.
-We've got work to do.
PUPPY CUSHION SE
-Your hand's all dirty.
-All right.
Hello.
Even if I were married,
I don't think
I'd particularly enjoy taking photos.
But Mr. Jung Ji-ho
is a very caring husband
who puts his wife first.
All you need to do is smile.
Now smile for me.
-But that's…
-One, two, three.
Come on, what's with that expression?
Here we go again.
One, two, three.
-What?
-Well…
Do you prefer chic, sexy,
cute, or innocent?
That's a lot of options for…
I'll go with chic.
You look handsome.
It's a compliment.
You should learn to smile.
Why are you crushing the flowers?
Sorry.
You're strangling them now.
Do I smell weird?
-No, not at all.
-Move your head in.
-I think we're done.
-Right.
Good work.
Ms. Choi.
Thank you.
I'll get in after you move the car.
Just a second.
Are you wondering why people get married
when it's so tiring?
I thought I had a strenuous job,
but this isn't easy either.
That's why so many couples break up
preparing for the wedding.
But you probably don't know.
I do know.
What it's like to prepare for a wedding.
There are many couples who come to court
whose troubles started then.
But I guess thanks to me,
you received
some intensive training today.
I've definitely heard a lifetime's worth
of a woman's nagging today.
But these little conflicts
can make love grow deeper.
Oh, there was a mosquito.
Sorry to startle you while you're driving.
Your collarbone
Is just so sexy
So sexy that I just want to plant a kiss
Our anniversary, our refrigerator
Our photos, our secrets
Our whispers…
About the housewarming party.
Your guests will be asking
all sorts of questions.
Like what?
For example…
who asked who out first,
or who fell for who first.
Or where we had our first date.
Let's say I asked you out first.
But in return,
we'll say you fell for me first.
Our first date was at a volunteer group,
and we were each other's first love.
First love.
But why the volunteer group?
It's a statement about your character.
So let's say that's where we met.
Oh, but I'll have to know
more about your parents too.
I'm an orphan.
They both passed away when I was little.
I'm sorry.
It was a long time ago.
Both of mine passed away too,
when I was little.
Really?
You grew up to be a very fine man.
They'd be proud.
Your parents would be too.
You're a fine woman.
This is kind of funny.
Telling each other
that our parents would be proud.
Gosh, why is it so hot in here?
And so many mosquitoes too.
I read in a book
on interpersonal relationships
that it's an unspoken rule to reciprocate
when someone shares something
that they've never talked about before.
You talked about your parents earlier, so…
I must have done well
as a teacher tonight,
seeing how you're remembering such things.
Go on then.
I had a first love.
I was even married to her.
I don't understand
why I have to share this,
but those are the rules, right?
Well, thanks for driving me
all the way home.
Damn it.
I hate mountains.
I'm so tired, Sang-eun.
I could die right now.
How were you even an athlete?
I'm only a fourth dan in taekwondo.
How could I compete with you,
with 18 dans combined?
I don't think that's what it is.
Remember when I was into triathlon?
It's probably that.
You've got to learn
how to not do anything.
Working with a busy celebrity
sure has its perks.
You can actually get a day off.
You must get paid
for cancellations on his end.
I only get paid when I work.
Just tell me what happened
with Mr. Pension last night.
You were completely out of it all day.
-What's with you?
-I was not.
I knew you were having your first love
in your old age a long time ago.
How can you be
this clueless about yourself?
Hey, I think the most childish, vain,
and clichéd word out there
is "first love," okay?
Why are you getting so worked up?
Did he tell you about
his first love or something?
What are you talking about?
What is wrong with you today?
Wow, I wish you could see your face.
You look like you got slapped
real hard with some facts!
-What? Slapped?
-Yes.
You crossed the line. Come here.
-Have you been slapped real hard?
-We're in public.
Come on, we're in public.
-I could use some exercise. Come here.
-No, you don't.
-No, stop it.
-Come here, I said.
Hey, why are you running away?
Oh man, when will we ever get down?
How did Mr. Pension
follow you all the way here?
In a suit and dress shoes?
So how far are we?
Are we even halfway down?
Bye now.
Who am I even talking to?
Cut! Okay!
-Splendid.
-That's what I'm talking about.
-That was amazing.
-Not bad, right?
Yes, it was very good.
-Great work.
-Good work, everyone!
Hello, Mr. Kang. Do you need something?
No, I don't "need something."
I've got eyes on me wherever I go.
It doesn't make sense
for me to not call my fiancée all day
when I just announced our marriage.
Did you eat yet, babe?
What did you have? Was it yummy?
No.
Didn't you say
your schedule today is hectic?
I had my makeup done at 2 a.m.
for a 5 a.m. start,
and I've been slaying
Baekje soldiers for 12 hours now.
Anyway, the guy downstairs
is a total lunatic.
-What do you mean?
-He called Jamie by some other name.
I still can't believe it
as I'm saying this.
I mean, who the heck is "Amy?"
Is it his favorite actress or something?
How can he give her another name
with me right upstairs?
Mr. Kang?
This conversation doesn't sound necessary.
Please excuse me.
What? Did she hang up on me?
So stingy.
Hae-jin.
They're rolling.
-Okay.
-Did you talk to Jamie?
Yes.
Hey, I have to talk to Jamie.
-But you just did.
-The other Jamie.
Tell them I need
a five-minute bathroom break.
Go on.
But…
"Amy"?
But why?
AMY
JAMIE
AMY
JAMIE
AMY
I can't figure him out.
Sleep out again?
I see you've fully returned
to your day-to-day life.
I haven't seen that box in a long time.
Housewarming party?
Have fun being a good wife.
Don't forget those "love shots."
"No drinking on the job" is my principle.
But are you really working?
Just kidding.
Take it easy.
Besides, isn't this a good chance
to show him what a catch you are?
Show him?
Why would I do that?
See you.
She's like a newborn
when it comes to love.
Whatever, I'm too tired for this.
There's no way
you're certified as anything.
I am, thank you!
Oh, my stomach.
I should get some sleep.
I feel so sick.
What the hell?
Did you just get up?
I just came back.
Out all night?
With Mr. Pension?
What's with the apron?
Were you kicked out?
Or is he into that?
I ran away, all right?
It started off normally.
Just another day at work.
So it was a piece of cake for me.
Yes, I just got here.
I'll take care of everything here,
so just arrive on time.
All right.
Yes.
Hello, please come in.
The kitchen is inside.
Chef. How have you been?
I want the colors to pop.
Love that smell.
-Hello.
-Welcome.
Oh my, hello.
-Hello.
-Thank you. You didn't have to.
Thank you.
-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello.
Thank you. Please come in.
Gosh, what a lovely place.
This place is so lovely.
Honey, look at that light.
Isn't that like a halo?
-Why don't we also get one?
-That's enough.
-But it's so lovely.
-We have one that's just as fine.
It's so modern and elegant.
Can you take a picture for me?
One, two, three.
What is all this?
I'll get rid of everything later.
Just stop acting like a guest.
I'm serious!
Kang Hae-jin lives in this building too.
-Really?
-Yes.
I'm sorry we invited you so late.
You must be starving.
Shall we have dinner first?
I purposely told everyone
to bring their spouses.
Knowing what a ruthless man he is,
I thought this could be his chance
to learn from others.
But well, my goodness.
I should learn from him.
I don't know what to say.
When did you go
to all those places with your wife?
You've been everywhere.
I'm even starting to think
I've been wrong about him all these years.
You sure are a happily married couple.
Shall we all sit down?
Yes, let's have a seat.
Look, they have golden spoons, Honey.
-Honey, that's enough.
-My goodness.
I guess I've been
to the Great Wall of China.
I'll keep my toast very classy today.
Raise your glasses, players.
Bring it in.
-Bring it in!
-Bring it in!
Now bring them back.
-Bring them back!
-Bring them back!
-Bottoms up.
-Bottoms up.
Let's get turnt.
This is a beautiful evening.
It's so delicious.
Okay, so you kept it professional.
Everything was fine.
Yes, and I should've stayed that way.
He sure is on another level.
Aren't you jealous?
I mean, a beautiful house,
and a wife who looks like an actress.
Now I'm starting to see
Judge Jung in a new light,
seeing what a nice person his wife is.
Well, if I lived in a place like this
with a husband who's a judge,
I'd be the nicest person ever.
And did you notice
how they barely drank any alcohol?
They're trying to stay sober
so they can be classy
to leave a good impression,
and then judge
whoever makes a dumb, drunk mistake.
I'd say she's much worse than Judge Jung.
Oh my. But how do you know all that?
My job is to uncover the truth
behind married couples with problems.
I focus on the truth within,
not the frills on the outside.
Now that's something
to look out for today.
Let's class it up again.
Raise them glasses.
Give me some love.
Now pull them back.
Here, have a glass.
You know I don't drink, sir.
Come on, you're the host today.
Just one drink.
Come on now.
I'll drink it.
I thought you were holding back
because you're trying to have children.
I have a weakness for good whisky.
Single malt is love, after all.
I knew you had a lot of love in you.
I knew it.
Here.
How about we do the wave?
-Starting from here.
-From here!
Now that's one giant wave.
All right, round two.
-Here.
-Let me fill your glass.
Thank you.
-Can you hold your liquor?
-Yes.
I'll fill my own.
-Fill her up.
-How about another wave?
-Yes!
-Starting from here!
Starting from here!
Someone's about to drown.
So you drank?
You reek!
And?
Don't tell me…
You didn't put on a show, did you?
Nope!
I held back.
Why?
Because the host
should never be so frivolous.
As the chief judge at our court
I always desperately wish
For Judge Jung to
Fit in with his colleagues
Now that's the kind of
A chief judge I am
A chief judge with one secret skill
Doing the funky chicken!
Wonderful, so wonderful!
So let's all do the funky chicken…
-Bravo!
-Bravo!
The funky chicken…
You've got some
crazy beats going on there.
I used to play the drums back in college.
Wow, is there anything you can't do?
Oh no, you flatter me.
I could have done better.
-What is it, Honey?
-I have an announcement.
I've been waiting
for the right time to say this.
As the chief judge always says,
"Open your wallet
if you want to be a good boss!"
So we're going to hold a talent show,
and there's a cash prize
for the winning couple!
And there's some serious cash in here!
All right, allow me to demonstrate.
-I'm going to do impressions.
-Are you sure?
That wasn't my mouth making those sounds.
That was my hands, okay?
That's enough, please.
You're a terrible actress.
All right, then. Let's get started.
Whoever's ready!
I want to go first. Me!
Or do you want to go first?
Who wants to go first?
Why don't we go first?
I'll do a mime act, thank you.
-Nice.
-Oh, mime?
Sit back down!
-She just crashed into it.
-Oh my, she's so good.
Are you all right?
That way, it looks more real.
-You had us there for a second.
-Give them a big applause!
I've been learning belly dancing lately.
I'm so flexible
that I skipped a level in just two months.
-You're so good.
-You're amazing!
You're amazing!
Go! Go!
That was the best!
-That was great.
-You were really good.
-Respect.
-Yes, respect.
All right, everyone.
Let's keep the fever going
and do the piggy wrestle.
I'm confident
about not losing to anyone in this,
so please step up, one at a time,
and bring it on.
Let's go!
Honey, let's go.
This one is mine.
Ready, start!
-Honey!
-Honey!
-Come on!
-Let's go, let's go!
Is your back all right?
First of all,
let's give a big round of applause
to Ms. Choi,
who showed us
so many of her talents tonight.
And now for the finale!
Our winner tonight is…
She knocked down all the couples
with her brilliant dancing!
Ms. Kim Yu-mi!
Gosh, thank you!
I've never won anything in my life!
I didn't think
I'd ever come first in anything.
What's more,
I'm the only one who's single here.
Allow me to make a toast to celebrate.
I don't think this is fair.
Come on, first place?
I'm sure you all agree
that if we base this on talent alone,
there's no doubt that Ms. Choi…
I mean, my wife here
is clearly the winner.
Honey, not another
eccentric joke of yours.
I'm not joking.
And it's not about the prize money.
We just want the recognition
that we're the winning team.
Didn't I also win that piggy wrestle?
But you only won because you cheated.
How did I cheat?
You kicked me from behind
so slyly all of a sudden.
Isn't that how you win?
Everyone started out in the same posture,
holding their ankles,
so how was that cheating?
Fine, you can have it.
-I don't want the money.
-But you said you're the winner.
Here, take it.
Congratulations.
An applause for our winners!
-Give that back.
-Yes.
We'll try again next year.
Put that in your bag!
You still have a long way to go.
Jung Ji-ho was sure Jung Ji-ho.
How can he be so competitive?
That's when I started to drink away.
Why? Because I had to erase the memories
of everyone who was there.
So why did you run away?
Run away?
Hey, something strange
is happening to me right now.
And do you know what that is?
I've been awake this entire time,
keeping my eyes open.
And for some strange reason,
my memory is fading away.
What was it that I just said?
How did I even get home from there?
Just go to sleep.
I can't.
Yes, you can. Just sleep.
No, I can't black out now.
I have an appointment
with Kang Hae-jin this morning.
That's why if I don't pass out
and don't get sleep…
Yes.
I don't even have a hangover.
I should really go out
and get some fresh air now.
I think I'm starting to get tipsy.
Are you here, Ms. Choi?
What's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
Are you in shock?
I heard the garden here
is really beautiful.
So how about we go on a date
for the paparazzi?
Ms. Choi.
Ms. Choi.
I think you need to get some sleep.
I'm not that much of a mess.
I'm clocking out now.
At least let me call a cab--
That's all right, I hate being babied.
Then…
Want to get some sleep in the guest room?
It looks like you had too much to drink.
Oh no, I'm just
sleep-deprived, that's all.
I don't need a breath test
to know you're lying.
Were you drinking with the guy downstairs?
How can he make you drink until…
I guess I owe him one.
This is the first time
I don't hate being spied on.
Cheers!
All right, let's spin the bottle.
Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!
How barbaric of you.
Don't you know that physical contact
by compulsion is an act of crime?
-Act 298 of the Criminal Act…
-Always talking about the law.
He's not the only one who studied law.
You're all practitioners of law.
I can't believe…
I should just shut him up.
Why don't you be my first love?
HANGOVER DRINK
So he feels nothing,
even though we kissed?
That was my first kiss!
Give me back my first kiss!
So I was the only one
who was serious about all this.
Does she really have feelings for me?
My clients have reported
great customer satisfaction.
Maybe I should try this service sometime.
If you're done with your work,
I'll clean it up.
I wanted to see her before she left.
That woman is rough with cars.
What pretty lashes.
I must be crazy.
I must be seriously crazy.
Go away, dirty thoughts!
I'm scared you'll come to hate me.
