Yusecha.
Eolsachirwol gapjasang.
Chousaminbyeongin.
Hyojahyeonbong.
You're late.
I'm sorry. I was caught up at work.
It's not like
this takes place every day.
Mom, we have this 22 times a year.
That's two less than before.
Hwiilburim.
Chuwongamsi.
Hocheonmanggeung.
This is my family.
A small Joseon Dynasty
in the middle of the city.
Cheongjakseosu.
Gongsinjeonheon.
Sanghyang.
Yeon-su, good job.
Let's eat.
Sungnyung.
- My life summarized in one word.
- Water.
Men are Superior, Women are Inferior.
MEN ARE SUPERIOR, WOMEN ARE INFERIOR.
GIRLS' MIDDLE SCHOOL
GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL
WOMEN'S UNIVERSITY
Men and Women Should Be Distinct.
MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD BE DISTINCT.
Baek-hee.
The electricity bill this month is
quite high.
We shouldn't waste electricity
when we live in a country
that doesn't even produce
a single drop of oil.
You're right, Father.
I will save on electricity.
Okay. And Nam-su.
You must pass
the civil service exam this year.
Yeon-su, make sure to look after him.
- Yes.
- No matter
how much the world has changed,
women must come home before sunset.
Get home early
and look after your brother.
Nam-su is the pillar of this family.
Men Lead, Women Follow. And
Men Marry, Women Wed Into the Family.
So
MEN MARRY, WOMEN WED INTO THE FAMILY
- when are you getting married?
- I beg your pardon?
Well
Are you seeing anyone?
Is that a yes or a no?
No, Grandmother.
- Baek-hee.
- Yes, Mother.
What did you do when you were 29?
I had a son.
- Mi-young?
- I got married.
But I'm divorced now.
Hush!
My goodness.
MILTON HOTEL AT 1 P.M., DOKGO DAL
It's one o'clock this Saturday.
- Don't be late.
- What?
He's your grandmother's
distant relative's
in-law's friend's son.
He owns a startup.
- But Grandmother
- You're turning 30 next year.
In the old days, no one would even
bother to kidnap you for marriage.
Come on, Mom.
That's way back in the past.
Don't say that outside.
You'll start trouble.
A woman's best virtue is
to marry a good man, have children
and create a harmonious family.
Women these days never stay home
to make money
and have their own career.
No wonder society ended up like this.
You're right, Grandmother.
So? Are you really going?
You know me.
Disobeying my grandmother is
not an option for me.
I have to at least pretend
to listen to her.
Hey. Just tell her
that you have a boyfriend.
How long do you think
you can hide it?
No man can pass the threshold
of my house
unless we're getting married.
That's ridiculous.
What about him?
Is he not planning to get married?
I don't know.
Every time I talk about marriage,
he becomes lukewarm.
Lukewarm
Hey, then you should
turn up the heat.
- How?
- Dress up from head to toe
and say it straight to his face.
- To marry me?
- About your blind date.
- What?
- Do you know what really upsets men?
Losing his girlfriend? No.
Losing? No.
Losing by losing his girlfriend.
Give it a try.
MAKE ME TINGLE
This is really good.
Yeon-su, try this.
- Seung-jun
- By the way, you look beautiful.
Is that a new dress?
I'm going on a blind date.
It's my grandmother's order.
Every morning, she nags at me
for not getting married
when I'm turning 30 soon.
And
I couldn't tell her
I'm seeing someone.
- Yeon-su
- We've been
dating for over a year now.
Do you
even want to marry me?
That's my question.
Yeon-su.
Do you even want to marry me?
- Of course
- But it doesn't feel that way.
What do you mean?
It's been a year since we started
dating, like you said.
And there are
steps a couple must take.
But
I wasn't going to say this
You avoid me.
Sorry.
Not yet.
One, two, three.
- What?
- I'm not ready yet.
Do you know how it feels
every time you reject me?
Am I not attractive enough as a man?
Or am I just not good enough for you?
Or do you even love me?
I can't stop thinking about that.
You know what, Gong Yeon-su?
I want to sleep with the woman I love
and check that she loves me.
Isn't your house
a little too big to live alone?
- Do you want one?
- What is it?
My company's latest release.
So this is what you make.
Interesting.
You could
give me feedback after using it.
In person?
On the homepage written there.
YUN JI-O
- Hello?
- Where are you?
Home.
- Why are you home?
- Why are you starting a fight?
Hey, boss.
We released a new product together,
but why am I the only one busy?
I'm busy too.
I'm promoting our new release.
Why are you promoting it?
That reminds me.
You fired the marketing team manager.
Because he sold the samples
second-hand without my permission.
That's his talent.
He was so good at promoting.
He sold so many.
I'll give him credit.
Right. Have you looked up
what I told you before?
I'm working on it.
- Get it ready by next week.
- Next week? Are you kidding me?
- Hey, the horizon
- Bye.
Hey. Wait
FATHER
MILTON HOTEL, THIS SATURDAY AT 1 P.M.
GONG YEON-SU
WHERE IS THE HORIZON OF YOUR LIFE?
So, it wasn't about winning,
but his sexual drive.
I guess he had a hard time.
You two are unbelievable.
You for making him wait a year
and him for actually waiting.
You're just amazing.
Anyway, Se-ra.
Is that the only way
to see if you're in love?
It's not the only way,
but it happens to be his way.
Marriage was your way
when sex was his way.
Can you keep your voice down?
What's wrong?
- Sex?
- Stop it.
- Shh.
- What's wrong with sex?
It's not like
we're not allowed to say it.
Sex.
- Sex.
- Stop it. Enough.
You need some help. Follow me.
What? Why? Where are we going?
This is insane.
See?
This is a whole new world for you.
Hey. What are the three basic desires
of humans?
Food, sleep, and sex.
You look up a restaurant
when you're hungry.
But what have you done
for your sexual desire?
Nothing, right?
I'm leaving.
Okay. Fine.
Whether you have sex or not,
that's up to you.
Still, open up your mind.
Find the new world.
Be open-minded.
Accept it.
- I'm pretty open-minded at heart.
- Yes.
I'm just careful with my choices.
You said you love him.
Your body goes where your heart goes.
What's the problem then?
Well, that's true
But sleeping with him
before any promise of marriage
I grew up learning I shouldn't.
I think you got it for good.
- Got what?
- Confucianism brainwashing.
Come on. It's not that bad.
Otherwise,
you're just not that into him.
When you're truly in love
you're not even worried about that.
You're just
You know what I mean?
Excuse me.
How is this different
from the previous version?
Is it too firm?
I don't know. I'm not sure.
The angle looks fine.
- The vibration is good.
- Yes.
Oh, they also have this.
Which one do you like better?
I prefer this.
I knew we had the same taste.
"We"?
I hear handsome guys are
either taken or gay.
Yeon-su, let's go.
Let's fix it and test the sample.
- Give the factory a call.
- Okay.
Excuse me. How many of these
do you have left in stock?
Let me check.
Gong Yeon-su.
I want to sleep with the woman I love
and check that she loves me.
Right.
That happens to be his way.
Jeez. Aunt Mi-young!
Oh, my gosh.
Jeez.
Oh, no.
Come on.
I told you not to smoke here.
Go smoke in the smoking zone.
Yeon-su, cut me some slack, will you?
A divorced woman gets no rights
in this place.
And if I don't even get a joy
of smoking,
what kind of life is that?
It seems you also had a joy
of one bottle.
That's an ashtray.
What if Grandmother catches you?
Let her catch me.
What could be more shocking
than my divorce?
No one cares about me anyway.
Nothing scares me anymore.
If you want someone to care about you
you need to quit.
My
- Don't do that.
- Go meet your friends outside.
That was my last one.
Besides, I don't have anyone
to hang out with.
They're busy looking
after their husbands and children.
They're busy with their lives.
So? Are you lonely?
Well, I'm not saying I'm lonely.
I'm kind of jealous.
Jealous of what?
Well, they complain they're tired
but that's the choice they made.
No matter how tough life is,
if you don't want to be sad
you have to make choices
for your own life.
Mi-young!
Yes, Father! Hey.
See you later.
- No.
- Let me spray some for you too.
- I'm coming.
- Gosh.
MY SEUNG-JUN
Hi, Seung-jun.
- Yeon-su, were you sleeping?
- No, not yet.
About last time, I'm sorry.
I think I got too worked up that day.
No, I actually appreciated you
for being honest.
I understand how you feel.
I shouldn't have pushed you
when you didn't want it.
That's not it.
What do you mean
by that?
I really love you, Seung-jun.
You know what?
I want to show you
how I feel about you.
I don't want to hesitate anymore.
Yeon-su.
Do you mean it?
Do you really mean it? Are you sure?
You're crazy, Gong Yeon-su.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Today's list?
I finished sending the DMs.
I'm still uploading the posts.
- Labeling?
- I finished it yesterday
and already sent it to the club.
- The guests?
- I invited three influencers
from Crazy Relationship
and two couples from Sex Signal.
They're very popular these days.
And here's the list
of the rest of the guests.
Okay. Then we just need to check
the club audio and the screen.
Leave that to us and focus
on your blind date tomorrow.
- Are you going on a blind date?
- That's his monthly event.
It's more like earning money
than a blind date.
Just get to work.
Ma'am.
You can take off your clothes
and put on the robe.
Oh, yes. Thank you.
- Are you ready?
- Yes.
Lift your knees.
You got it. Under your waist. Good.
Now, split your legs.
Oh, is this your first time?
Just relax.
Wait. What are you doing?
I told you. It's all included.
Se-ra asked me.
BRAZILIAN
ALL NUDE
Enjoy.
All nude and bikini are
two most popular options.
For your information,
we use sugaring.
It'll hurt a bit.
No, hold on.
Well, can I still cancel it?
It's already been paid.
I'm sorry, but there's no refund.
Okay.
I see.
People find it strange at first
but they love it after it's done.
It'll be over
even before you know it.
Just relax and lie down.
Okay.
I'll start now.
One, two, a little sting.
NEW MESSAGE
See you tonight.
MY SEUNG-JUN
SEE YOU TONIGH
I'm going to be home late tonight.
- Why?
- It's work. There's so much to do.
But it's Saturday.
It happens.
Then are you going straight
to work after?
After what?
Your blind date.
The crab meat is perfect. Did I do it?
Oh, yes.
I'm going straight to work
after that.
I'm going to work
after the blind date.
Do your best.
Be modest
- and polite.
- Yes, Grandfather.
I just got here. Where are you?
Hi, honey.
What was the room number again?
Did you bring it?
I'm sorry.
I forgot to get it this morning.
No, I should've given it to you
before leaving work last night.
It's my fault that I forgot.
- Are you going to the club now?
- Yes, everyone else already left.
Make sure to check the monitor
and the audio balance.
Check your outfit first.
Look at this. It's wrinkled.
Lead the guests to the private room,
not the table, okay?
Of course.
I already got the rooms booked.
I'll see you there soon.
- Good luck on your blind date.
- Thanks.
- Ms. Gong Yeon-su?
- Yes.
- I'm Dokgo Dal.
- Hi.
I knew we had the same taste.
Of course.
I already got the rooms booked.
I'll see you there soon.
What's going on?
You haven't eaten yet, have you?
What?
Oh, no.
This place has a good seafood course.
Are you okay with that?
No, I'm not okay with that.
Are you allergic?
No, a course meal takes too long.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
The food comes out
almost immediately here.
No need to wait.
Okay.
You'll like it.
It's made in a traditional way.
The two most important factors
when making cheonggukjang are
temperature and time.
Even if you miss one
everything goes wrong.
It's picky like that.
You must have profound knowledge
of cheonggukjang.
My family makes all kinds of jang.
Even my grandmother tells me
I should meet someone mature
like the jang.
- She never stops saying that.
- I see.
But I think
I should marry the one I love, right?
Although not all love
in this world is
accepted.
Aren't you going to eat?
Do you not look
at the other person's eyes
when you talk?
I don't pay attention
when I'm not interested.
Oh, okay.
Neither of us is here on our own.
Let's pretend
we had a meal together.
Leave the elders to me.
Oh, right. That reminds me.
It's only polite to make eye contact
when you're talking to someone.
Gong Yeon-su, are you
seeing two men on the same day?
A blind date during the day
and a boyfriend at night.
Anyway
- I'm glad none of us was interested.
- Was your blind date that bad?
No, it's not like that.
Well, I'll just say
it's a matter of taste.
NEW MESSAGE
DOKGO YOUNG-HOON SEN
10 MILLION WON TO YOUR ACCOUN
It's only polite to make eye contact
when you're talking to someone.
- Wait a minute.
- What?
You're wearing it.
- When did I give it to you exactly?
- On my birthday.
You put it on me
when I fell asleep in the car.
- Oh, right. I remember.
- Yes.
Yeon-su, you know what? I'm
I'm so happy.
We're finally
Yes, right.
No need to drink in a rush.
If you get drunk
you won't remember it.
Excuse me.
Why am I not getting drunk?
What's the percentage?
Wait, 17 percent
Are you
ready to go now?
Wait.
Can we
go somewhere more romantic?
Yeon-su, don't worry.
When I looked it up,
this place was nice and clean.
Hello.
- This way.
- Thank you.
I'll shower first.
Okay.
Yeon-su.
Thank you so much for understanding.
Seung-jun.
What about a condom?
- I'll take care of it.
- What?
Seung-jun. A condom.
Is it that time of the month?
What?
Yeon-su, don't worry.
I can control it.
- No, wait.
- What?
What are you talking about?
Yeon-su.
Does that really matter right now?
I thought we were here
to check our love.
Do you have to kill the mood?
How can you say that?
Are you saying it's not love
if we don't use protection?
That's not what I'm saying.
You probably don't know
because you're not experienced.
It's not just for men,
but it feels awful for women too.
You'll feel nothing but pain
if we use a condom.
Is that your way of being thoughtful?
If saving you from pain isn't
being thoughtful, what is?
Why do you decide
whether I like it or not?
Because you don't know anything.
You're right. I don't.
I don't know that
because this is my first time.
But I know
what manners and respect are.
Yeon-su.
You said you love me.
You said you weren't going
to hesitate anymore.
That's another problem.
That's exactly what it is.
If you don't want to do it,
just say so.
Boss, we should distribute
finger condoms next time.
They love it.
The glowing condom was a great idea.
Good job, Dokgo Dal.
Condoms are what needs to be seen
when the lights are out.
Right, it dies while you look for it.
What dies?
The mood. It kills the mood.
Cheers, everyone.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
It's so nice to drink again
after a while.
Boss, we're kind of short.
Do you have more?
I'm going to my car.
Follow me.
See you.
I feel so dizzy.
Where am I?
Still
how could he leave me on my own?
Does he even know why I'm here?
Does he have any idea
what it took for me to come here?
I can't even open it.
MOM
Darn it.
It's a vitamin.
Never mind.
This is a condom.
I didn't expect to see you here.
Hey, nice to meet you.
Don't mind me.
I'm just so glad to see this guy.
There's more.
There are so many.
Sorry.
Here.
Thank you.
Ms. Gong Yeon-su?
Hey.
Are you okay?
- Are you drunk?
- No.
- I am drunk.
- You are drunk.
Are you by yourself?
Are you with someone?
This is a goldmine.
- Perfect. I love it.
- What are you doing
Look, Ms. Gong Yeon-su. Get up.
By any chance
do you need this?
What?
I'll give you extra.
Two, three
- four, six
- Stop it. You're drunk.
Don't take them from me.
They're mine.
These condoms are mine.
Everything here is mine.
I see. I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
Anyway
is it true?
If you use that
it only hurts
and you won't feel anything?
Who said that?
A man.
He said it's better
without it.
One.
Because this is high quality,
you'll feel everything.
Two. Condoms aren't for pleasure
but protection
against pregnancy and STDs
which means
it's about respecting each other.
Exactly.
That's what I was saying. Respect.
That's exactly what I wanted to say.
Respect.
Three.
Anyone who doesn't bother
putting on a condom
isn't worth dating.
Don't date anyone like that.
Not just dating. Marriage.
- What?
- I was going to marry him.
So
I wanted to
show him how I felt about him.
Because I was serious
about this relationship.
You're finally looking at my eyes.
What a world.
My goodness.
Are you finally up?
Drink this.
Don't drink too much.
You can do better than that.
Sorry about that.
NAMSEO POLICE STATION
- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my gosh.
- What are you doing in there?
- Hey.
Why did you pop out from there?
What? Why do you care?
- Where's Mom?
- You're in big trouble.
Open the door.
That won't get you sober.
How much did you drink?
You still reek.
Oh, watch out.
What's wrong with him?
You were working overtime?
Mom.
- You weren't answering your phone.
- My phone died.
- Because of you
- Is that you, Yeon-su?
- Father.
- Grandfather.
Where are you going at this hour?
Or you
Father, she's
Are you going to work?
What?
Oh, yes. I'm going to work.
- But it's Sunday.
- There's too much to do at work.
Gosh. A woman shouldn't be out
for too long.
And how are you going to get married
if you spend too much time working?
I know.
I hope to see you get married
before I die.
Take care of yourself.
If you count on your youth,
you'll get sick.
Yes, I will.
What are you doing? Get going.
Yes.
See you later.
Yes. Get going.
Have a good day.
- Start sweeping.
- Yes.
MY SEUNG-JUN
WILL YOU COME PICK ME UP?
I'M DIZZY.
I'M AT THE POLICE STATION
THERE ARE OFFICERS IN FRONT OF ME
It's not the end of the world.
Isn't it too early to drink?
It's your hangover drink.
- Gosh.
- Here.
No, thank you.
- Just watching it makes me throw up.
- Come on. Just for a toast.
Cheers.
So nice.
What? Did you have a fight
with your boyfriend?
How did you know I have a boyfriend?
You always talk to your boyfriend
on the phone every time I smoke.
Seriously.
There's no privacy in this house.
You're not the only one
who's had a boyfriend.
I've been there too.
It's not a big deal.
I thought you got married
through a blind date.
Well, I did get married
through a blind date.
But I was in love
with someone else.
I should've married him.
As a daughter of the Gongs
and as someone who's lived
just a little longer than you
do you want a piece of advice?
What is it?
We need
to get crazy.
Have you ever done anything crazy
in your life before?
- Like sleeping out?
- Sleeping
Not that.
Something so crazy that you've never
even thought about before.
- What about you?
- Me?
I have, obviously.
I got divorced.
It was the craziest thing
I've ever done in my life.
Yet, it was the greatest thing
I've ever done in my life.
When you see a new path,
it's okay to try it out.
After all, it's your life.
Then let's get started.
Oh, hot.
People sometimes do crazy things
in their lives.
LOVE AGAIN
FOR REMARRYING COUPLES
HI, MI-YOUNG
WE LIVE IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD
Sometimes doing those crazy things
revitalizes their lives.
It's fine. You're still studying.
You wouldn't have money.
It's okay. Just trust me.
Sometimes it approaches them
in the name of love.
Sometimes it gives them courage
to overcome loneliness.
Sometimes it becomes the thrill
of starting a new relationship.
Sometimes it leaves
meaningless hollowness.
MY SEUNG-JUN
MISSED CALL
Seung-jun.
SEUNG-JUN
LET'S BREAK UP
LET'S BREAK UP
So, we received a new proposal.
It's something
we've never done before.
So? Aren't you excited?
I guarantee you
that this will be the most
exciting project of the year.
Why is she beating around the bush
like that?
I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
Here it is.
The new release
from the premium
adult-products brand, Loand.
Dreaming!
No way. Really?
It's urgent. They want us to start
as soon as possible.
But what's really crazy is
I wish I could do it.
Anyone who wants to be the CEO
instead of me?
When you can't go any further
without going crazy
that's when the switch finally turns
on at the very edge of the cliff.
Anyway, think about it.
If you want, you can take one home.
I have to go meet my client.
I'm off now.
I'll do it.
Did you just say you'll do it?
- Yes.
- And as always
I'll give it a shot.
My reckless challenge
teaches me a valuable lesson.
Let me introduce
our senior marketer
in charge of this project.
Hello, I'm Gong Yeon-su.
Mr. Dokgo Dal?
Ms. Gong Yeon-su?
Crazy things should be left to people
who have done them before.
