INTERN ANNOUNCER JUNG DA-JEONG, TALK OF THE TOWN
ANNOUNCER JUNG DA-JEONG HAS TWINS IN HIGH SCHOOL?
HUSBAND HONG, A REPAIRMAN
FORMER HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL MVP
BEST SERVICE!
JUNG DA-JEONG IN ARBITRATION FOR DIVORCE
JUNG DA-JEONG'S OTHER MAN IS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT?
A 37-YEAR-OLD MAN BECAME 18?
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO HER AND HER 18-YEAR-OLD HUSBAND?
You may have a child now,
but I'm sure you'll want to get married later.
Would you describe your dream woman?
My dream woman?
That's an odd question.
Well…
A woman with a great smile.
A strong and cheerful woman
who cheers me up when I see her.
It's actually pretty refreshing
to be splashed with some water in this heat.
Someone who's full of flaws,
but is an expert at her job.
A woman with a twist.
And…
So no matter what anyone says, I'll stay as your fan.
So cheer up.
A woman with a warm heart. Someone who's mature.
I see. So that's the woman of your dreams.
-Yes. -I hope you meet someone like that.
-Thank you. -Let's move on to the next question.
Someone with a great personality who's good at her job and is pretty.
A woman who has everything.
There's no one like that.
But there is. Right here.
Hey, Ji-hun.
Why are you so surprised?
Did you not know you were my type?
Last time, you said I was like your brother,
and now I'm your type?
I mean it.
Stop joking around.
If you have time, do you want to grab dinner?
Oh.
Maybe next time.
I'm waiting for someone.
That's too bad.
Why isn't he coming?
I hope he's okay.
WIFE
Hello?
Where are you?
Sorry. I can't make it. Something came up.
I see.
I thought you had something to say.
It's nothing special.
Okay.
Did you
wait for me?
No, I forgot I had a previous engagement.
I called to tell you that I can't see you.
I see. That's good.
Thanks for sending me the kids' pictures.
It's not a big deal.
I have to go.
Okay. Bye.
STUDENT CONSULTATION
Do you realize how serious this is?
Speak up, won't you?
Isn't it weird
how no one died that day?
If it were me,
I would have killed him.
I guarantee it.
That was a premeditated attack.
THE 31ST SERIM ART FESTIVAL
You have to be happier
than me
And now, there's a special event prepared for a special someone.
A brave young man of Serim High School
would like to sing a song for his special someone, Hong Si-a!
-My gosh! -My gosh!
The words at the tip of my lips
Something I want to say whenever I see you
Something I keep to myself over and over again
Because it's so precious
I can tell you those happy words
Even the sound of the words is sweet
Something I want to tell you on a perfect day
In the most fascinating way
I love you, love you, love you
It's not enough to tell you just once or twice
I can't hold myself back or hide it
So I confess my feelings honestly
Only you, you, you are my everything
It makes my heart full to see you and hold you in my arms
My heart races whenever I tell you this
So it's never easy to tell you this
I love you
Isn't it weird how no one died that day?
It was so cringey that it almost killed me.
There were so many people.
If it were me,
I would have killed him.
Si-a will be too humiliated to come to school now.
But that was just the beginning.
Si-a.
It's weird how you've been on my mind all the time recently.
So I wondered why that was.
I like you.
-Say yes. -Say yes.
-Say yes! -Say yes!
FUN SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
I can't believe how Si-a said yes that easily.
Can't you tell just by looking at her?
Girls who seem chill like her
flirt like mad when no one's looking.
Hey!
What did you just say?
What? What did I say?
What did you just say?
I didn't say anything!
What is it? What's going on?
Guys, what's wrong?
It started already?
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
SERIM HIGH SCHOOL
That means you weren't there.
No.
But did Ja-seong really do that?
And?
Did Si-a say yes?
No idea. You may go.
Wait, so did Si-a agree to go out with him?
Get out!
Go!
You're close to Si-a, right?
Why do you ask?
-I'm going to ask her out. -You'll what?
That's right.
Help me do it.
Are you crazy?
Why not?
You said you don't like her.
I don't, but…
Help me out, will you?
How can I win her over?
CLASS 2-5 WHAT A SURPRISE!
Wow, he's so cool. There's no woman who would turn him down.
It's only cool in films. Everyone hates it in real life.
If someone asks you out like that, you'd love it.
Are you crazy? Just the thought makes me sick.
It makes you sick?
Man, I probably shouldn't tell you this.
What is it?
But don't tell her that I told you.
I won't.
Si-a…
loves it when a guy serenades a girl and asks her out in front of a crowd.
If you get on one knee and give her flowers,
it will be perfect.
She really likes that?
I'm telling you.
Hey.
Just give up.
She'll never accept anything less than that.
It's too humiliating, isn't it?
Don't do it.
CONSULTATION DETAILS CAUSE OF ACCIDENT: HONG SI-A
Yes, Si-a was the cause,
but she didn't actually do anything.
You're right. In that case,
let's ban dating requests during festivals from next year.
-What? -Okay, that's all.
Goodness, it's over.
Gosh, I'm so tired.
Sir?
Man, come on.
Ja-seong, congratulations on getting a girlfriend.
Whatever.
Don't be so shy.
We all know you're skipping practice to go on a date with Si-a.
Hey, if this is your first date, will you hold her hand tonight?
-Hey, you should at least kiss her. -Her hand?
Stop it, guys.
-Stop what? -Whatever.
No? Isn't that the way to go?
-Damn it. -That's it.
I can't stay either. I'm skipping practice too.
I need to go on a blind date.
-What now? Those punks. -Not you.
-Isn't that right? -I ought to rip out their tongues…
-Whatever. I'm leaving too. -Damn it.
You should stay. You've got no hope.
DESPERATE MARRIAGES STAFF MEETING
There's something I'm worried about.
Our show received so much attention, they switched it to a live show.
You don't have to worry. I'll make sure I'm perfectly ready.
I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about myself.
It's my first project,
and it's my first time working on a live show.
Tell me about it. I'm worried too.
Don't worry. I'll try my best.
I'm putting my faith in you.
I'll trust you and the writers and work harder.
Okay, let's do our best to make it a regular program.
We can do it!
-Okay! -We can do it!
Yu-mi, are you busy today?
Yes, I'm on my way to the baseball interview.
Really? That's a shame.
You got an offer for a program,
and this segment got the most attention on the news last year.
-Attention? -Yes.
But they have to shoot today.
You're booked already. Never mind.
Da-jeong, you're free today, aren't you?
Yes, I'm free.
Yes, you're free.
Sounds great.
Can you do the interview for me?
Mr. Heo, since they asked me to do the program,
I'll go.
Really? Okay, then.
Da-jeong, please fill her spot.
-Yu-mi, come with me. -Yes, sir.
That conniving witch.
She's making sure you don't get something that will get a lot of attention.
The offer wasn't for me anyway.
Grab this chance and take back the baseball program.
-You can do it. -I'll be back.
See you.
Ja-seong, I won't let you do anything to Si-a.
I'm almost there.
Their date is at a baseball stadium?
He wouldn't do anything weird with people around.
SURPRISE EVENT! A KISS CAM DURING THE GAME
KISS TIME OF LOVE
No! Never! No way!
Did you get it?
U-yeong?
Why are you shocked? Am I not allowed to be here?
Why are you here?
I came to watch baseball. What about you?
Are you on a date?
What?
U-yeong?
Ji-ho? What?
I thought you were here with Ja-seong.
I'm returning these flowers.
What?
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
I didn't.
I thought you'd be embarrassed if I turned you down back there,
so I pretended to take it.
I was going to turn you down…
from the beginning.
Don't do something this humiliating ever again.
If you do,
I'll make you regret it.
Si-a.
Want to go watch baseball today?
Baseball? Out of nowhere?
I got two tickets.
Ji-hun is starting today.
What? Ye Ji-hun?
Okay, let's go.
Let me see the tickets.
Then, what happened to Ja-seong?
I LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU LOVE YOU
Everything is good as long as they aren't dating.
By the way,
did you follow us?
Of course not. I just ran into you.
Wait.
Mom?
-"Mom"? -Mom!
Huh?
Si-a.
Mr. Ko, you're a geek.
I hate geeks.
I left this important thing at work.
Ae-rin.
Hey!
Hey, Ae-rin. Hey.
It's me. Hey, it's me.
Deok-jin?
You darned geek. What are you doing?
Geek?
What about geeks? What's so bad about a geek?
Look at yourself before you ask that!
You have no idea what real style is.
March to the front. Fire!
-May I get a picture? -Sure.
I can feel sadness behind your smile.
You're right.
-It's because of love. -Cheer up.
I'm sure your love is true.
Thank you.
My friend said it's true love if you love someone who's ugly.
Ugly?
Mad Hatter, let me get a picture too.
White Queen, it looks like we're the only ones from Wonderland.
Wait, I know this voice.
Are you U-yeong's father?
Wait, Ms. Ok?
You didn't see me here today.
Ms. Ok, why are you…
Mr. Ko, you're a geek.
I hate geeks.
Wait a second, Ms. Ok!
Ms. Ok.
Don't be ashamed of who you are.
You look more beautiful today
than ever.
Be confident.
You deserve to!
So be confident!
Thank you.
Both Daehan and Seum put up a good fight,
but Seum took the win with a score of seven to three.
Jung Da-jeong, JBC News.
Cut! Great job.
Great job.
85 PITCHER YE JI-HUN
One, two, three.
Thanks, Ji-hun.
Don't mention it.
Do you want one too?
-No. -No.
Da-jeong, you don't have plans today, right?
No, I don't.
Then let's all go for dinner. It's on me.
But I'd feel too bad.
I don't want to let you go.
I usually don't do much for my fans,
but when I do, I make it count.
I see. But still…
Do you want to join us?
-No. -No.
Mom, let's go with him.
Let's go.
You're my fan, too.
Okay, then. Just this once.
Wait.
Why are all the women of my family Ye Ji-hun's fans?
Over here. Sit right here.
Hey, that's Ji-hun's spot.
Are you a kid? Just let him sit anywhere.
What? A kid?
I'll scootch over. Is that good?
Goodness.
What are you doing?
Why did you follow us anyway?
I was hungry.
It looks like Si-a has more fans than I do.
-What? -No, nothing.
Da-jeong, are you doing the interviews from now on?
No, Yu-mi had another shoot.
I was just filling in.
Oh, I see.
What was she shooting?
I don't know exactly what it is.
I just heard it draws a lot of attention.
Many people are concerned about damage as the news of a typhoon
landing in Korea was reported.
Then how powerful will the typhoon be?
I will experience it myself.
WIND SPEED: 10M PER SECOND
I'm currently standing in a wind speed of ten meters per second.
You can still hold out with an umbrella in this wind speed.
The wind speed is currently at 30 meters per second.
WIND SPEED: 30M PER SECOND
When will your new program begin?
Next Monday.
It's a pilot, so it's just one episode.
It'll get picked up if you do it.
I'll make sure to watch.
It's nothing you'd be interested in watching.
But you'll be on it.
That's enough reason for me to be interested.
Do your best. As you always do.
Thanks.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-I'll do it. -No, I'll do it.
Thanks.
You make it too obvious.
Make what obvious?
I mean, it seems like Si-a's bowl is filled with love.
It's not like that.
I get how you feel, but that's mean.
Give some to Da-jeong too.
I'm fine. I don't eat clams anyway.
I'm fine, U-yeong.
Okay.
-Eat up, Ji-ho. -I'm fine.
Why? Should I take out the clams for you too?
I'm fine. I'll serve myself.
You punk. Okay.
-In that case… -Here.
I'll eat this.
It looks good.
I'll scoop yours, Ji-hun.
Okay.
Thank you.
Wait, Ji-hun.
Do you have a crush on someone?
What?
Why?
I saw the interview on your dream woman.
It seemed very specific,
as if you had someone in mind.
Right.
Si-a.
It's okay.
Well…
To be honest,
I do like someone.
But it's a crush.
I haven't told her yet.
Yes, all right.
Why are you out here?
I had to make a call.
I see. Go ahead.
Wait.
You don't do that to every woman, do you?
Do what?
Asking questions, taking interest in every detail,
and being supportive.
I don't think I did that to Si-a.
Do you mean Da-jeong?
Just answer my question.
Why do I think you're angry?
I'm not angry.
Who knows?
I might get angry depending on your answer.
What are you laughing at?
Nothing.
I think I get why you've been acting like that to me.
I get it.
It's natural to have fantasies at that age.
You don't know the real world.
But fantasies are called fantasies because they can't come true.
Well, heartache is a part of the process of becoming a man.
What's that young punk saying to me?
Da-jeong, I said it was on me.
It was for Si-a and her friends.
Of course, I should pay.
Let me pay today. You can treat me next time.
I'll let you pay next time. Let me cover this today.
Your check was already paid.
What? By whom?
That kid over there.
U-yeong, you paid for dinner? Why?
I got dumplings for my dad,
so I paid for it together.
It's too much for a student to pay.
He's right. Give me a second. I'll give you cash.
It's okay.
Let's say it's on my dad. I charged it anyway.
But I feel bad.
How long have you been into this?
At first,
I got into it because I liked Iron Man a lot.
But it helped me relieve stress, and it was fun.
Don't tell anyone you saw me here.
Is this something to hide?
Of course, it is.
I'm a teacher. Everyone will think I'm abnormal.
Why is it abnormal for a teacher to do cosplay?
You should be more confident.
If people found out I went around
looking like this,
who would entrust me with their kids?
It's impossible.
I go out of my way to think of three impossible things
every single day.
One, Iron Man will be a model for one of our games.
Two, a 37-year-old man can become an 18-year-old.
And lastly.
One day, Ms. Ok will accept my feelings for her.
No matter what you say,
I know I'm abnormal.
It seems like you are.
What?
This is a secret.
Everyone who's cool is abnormal.
So? Do you like it?
I remembered how you used to love dumplings.
You still remember that?
Yes, it's good.
Thank you.
I'll bring them for you more often.
How's school?
Does anyone bully you?
Come on, Dad. You don't have to worry about that.
You're right.
You only look young. You're still an adult inside.
That was silly of me.
I understand.
No matter how old your kid gets, they're still kids to you.
When you were younger,
I used to scold you often.
You were a really bossy dad.
Hey, didn't you do that?
Of course, I did.
I thought I wouldn't be like you,
but as I raised them,
I found myself being bossier than you.
Goodness, really?
Yes.
I scolded them a lot,
and was stubborn about how they must be.
I thought I did that for their sake,
but it was all for me.
I finally realized how they felt
now that I became their friend.
And that I haven't been good enough.
Dad, eat up before it gets cold.
All right.
Thank you.
DESPERATE MARRIAGES
Okay, please check everything once again one last time.
Okay, ten seconds.
And cue.
LIVE DIVORCE COUNSELING DESPERATE MARRIAGES
-It's starting. -It's on.
This is the pilot episode of the live talk show, Desperate Marriages.
I'm your host, Jung Da-jeong.
I don't think I could do a live show.
I know. What if she makes a mistake on the first episode?
Stop jinxing her.
She's not jinxing anything. Nothing bad will happen.
FOR DIVORCE: 11 AGAINST DIVORCE: 53
The wife was considering divorce because her husband has three sisters.
More than half of our audience said they were against the divorce.
Exactly. I don't understand why this is a problem.
You'd all say yes
if you knew what his sisters were like.
All right. Let's hear from the wife first.
What kind of problems were there?
It was extremely stressful anytime their birthdays rolled around.
They were never thankful for their presents.
If I got them different things, they'd say I was discriminating.
If I got them the same thing, they'd say I wasn't thoughtful.
What should I do?
What are you all watching?
Goodness.
It's Ms. Jung's program on divorce.
Do you want to join us?
Forget it. Why is it fun to watch people get divorced?
I'm going home. You can wrap up and go.
Yes, sir. Good night.
-Good night. -Good night.
Goodness.
Also, they always fight among themselves.
If I just let them talk, and listened to them,
they'd throw a fit for not taking their side.
But if I badmouthed the other sister too,
they'd yell at me for criticizing them
and complain about me to my mother-in-law.
Then don't take that from them!
I took it because I wanted to get along.
Do you think I liked it?
I can empathize with the wife.
I mean, stuff like that can happen.
You only meet your sisters-in-law a few times a year.
Why can't you deal with that?
Sure, but all three of my sisters-in-law are single.
They all live with their parents.
-Oh gosh. -That sounds awful.
-That's not good. -That's just terrible.
-I can't believe it. -I'm switching over.
FOR DIVORCE: 54 AGAINST DIVORCE: 10
Still, that's no reason for divorce.
That's a good enough reason.
Marriage isn't a game.
Why is he still here?
No idea.
More than half of the audience are for divorce.
Dr. Park Jong-il, what do you think?
My professional opinion as a psychiatrist is
that she shouldn't divorce him.
I believe the wife is completely responsible for this problem.
-What? -What is he saying?
-Is he really a psychiatrist? -No way.
What is the problem?
She shouldn't have married him if she knew he had three sisters.
-Easy for him to say. -What was that?
I see. Then that's all the more reason to divorce him.
No, you married him knowing that, so you should take full responsibility.
No! I'm divorcing him!
You can't!
I have three sisters too. If you do, it'll be really bad.
-That's why he said that. -What? Three sisters?
So you know what it's like!
Ma'am, please calm down.
Hey, you. How can you stay quiet right now?
I'm not the one who wanted to come on the show!
Fine, it's my fault!
This show and the marriage are my fault!
You're right. It's your fault.
-Unbelievable. -That jerk.
What did you say?
I'm not doing this show!
-What? -That poor woman.
Damn you!
Oh no. What now?
-Don't do this on-- -Move.
Goodness.
Honey!
What was that?
-What just happened? -Poor Da-jeong.
-What should we do? -I…
Don't we have any recordings?
Of course, we don't!
Darn it. What do I do?
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Our guests refused to continue, and left the studio.
We apologize for the unexpected situation during the live show.
My gosh, that was awesome. She's totally cool.
-Agreed. -Of course. That's my girl.
They say marriage is a union between two families.
Things are better now,
but most of the time, women still make more sacrifices in marriage.
Sons-in-law are always considered guests, so they're treated cautiously,
while daughters-in-law are not treated as guests, but as family.
The in-laws demand her sacrifice because she is family.
Such conflicts seem to occur because such a perception still exists.
If a daughter-in-law was respected as a guest,
this sad issue wouldn't have happened.
Live talk show, Desperate Marriages.
Let's meet the next couple after the break.
Commercial.
YOU CAN BE YOUNG AGAIN, TOO!
-Da-jeong is good. -She is.
I would've panicked and made a mess.
Gosh, me too.
Is that hard?
I would've done the same.
-You? -You?
Let's see the result.
FOR DIVORCE: 40 AGAINST DIVORCE: 24
Okay. There are more people who are in favor of their divorce.
Lawyer Lee Min-yeong,
I heard the divorce rate is high for dual-income couples in their thirties.
Yes, and the main causes are
childrearing and chore division.
From the story, it sounds like the situation could be resolved
if the husband shares the responsibilities.
Sir, why didn't you do any chores around the house?
-I help her out too. -"Help"?
I was already stressed out and tired because of work,
but I did help around the house and watch the baby when I got home.
I tried my best.
But she still yelled at me because I wasn't good enough.
-He's lying. -What?
You didn't try.
All you do at home is slacking off.
I feed our kid and do all the chores when I get off work.
I have a job too.
That's why I help you out a lot.
It's not something you "help out" with. You're supposed to do it.
Besides,
did I get a surgery because you "tried"?
What?
-She had a surgery. -A surgery?
Six months ago,
I had a myomectomy.
I asked what the cause was,
and they said it was stress.
-Oh no. -That sounds terrible.
-He's awful. -He didn't know?
Sir, did you know this?
No, I didn't.
How could I know if she doesn't tell me?
How could I tell you?
You were always exhausted from stress at work!
I see. It must have been very hard for the wife.
That's all for their story.
And now, it's time for the audience to make the final decision.
If you think they should get divorced, press O.
If not, please press X.
FOR DIVORCE: 32 AGAINST DIVORCE: 32
Goodness, it's a tie.
-What should we do? -I don't know either.
Oh, right.
We have Da-jeong.
You can make the decision for us.
Me?
Yes, tell her to do that.
DA-JEONG, MAKE THE DECISION
Right.
I am…
against your divorce.
Why is that?
As I listened to them talk,
I got an impression that they weren't honest with each other.
Many married couples often make this mistake.
At first,
you act like everything is fine
out of consideration for the other person.
Our coach gave you permission.
Thanks for the offer,
but I have no time to practice.
Why not?
Si-u is sick, so I have to make money.
You're drinking again.
Is something wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
As you keep lying about it,
your spouse spews criticisms at you,
so you get disappointed.
You want them to know how you feel, and want to be understood.
But you fail to be honest to the other person.
Sir, you still need to pay for the visit.
That model is discontinued, so we don't make those parts.
You didn't fix anything. Why should I pay you?
Get out of here.
Sir. Sir, please!
-Goodness. -Sir!
You didn't get paid for the visit?
Then pay for it out of your own pocket.
You're drinking again?
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Are you ashamed of me?
Do you think I'd be proud of you?
You're so pathetic.
Then the communication stops,
and the misunderstanding deepens.
You misunderstand one another
and fail to see each other's feelings. That happens often.
If you get divorced for that reason,
you might regret it later.
It sounds like you're trying to say they'll regret getting divorced.
You got divorced too, Da-jeong.
-What did he just say? -Why did he bring that up?
-But she did. -What's wrong with him?
What's his problem?
So, do you regret divorcing your husband?
Goodness. Oh dear.
Yes.
I do.
I regret
that I wasn't honest.
We were married.
If we took
some time to have a heartfelt conversation…
If I realized
it was just as hard for him as it was for me,
I could've thanked him, told him I appreciated him,
and comforted him.
Goodness.
If everyone did that,
would everyone stay together? Is that the right answer?
I wouldn't say it's the answer, but at least,
you won't regret it later on.
That's why I want them to have
one last honest conversation
before they end their relationship.
They say your spouse is the only person unrelated to you
who is always on your side.
They're on your side.
Why can't you talk to each other?
Talk to them.
You might hear
something you desperately wanted to hear.
FOR DIVORCE: 0 AGAINST DIVORCE: 64
Everyone voted against your divorce.
Maybe next time.
I'm waiting for someone.
Was she waiting
for her ex-husband?
That's all for today's episode of Desperate Marriages.
Thank you for watching.
She was really awesome.
That's my mom.
It's tough to be that honest on TV.
I got choked up.
You're right.
Heo, are you crying?
What? No. I'm not crying.
My gosh, she's the most trending online right now.
Really? Let me see.
Gosh, Da-jeong is amazing.
Da-jeong is definitely good
at grabbing attention.
Your spouse is on your side. Why can't you talk to each other?
Talk to them.
You might hear something you desperately wanted to hear.
-Great job! -All right!
I just wanted to make the program more interesting back then.
Don't get me wrong.
It's fine.
All right. Then let me
serve you lots and lots of clams.
-Here. -Thank you.
Sure.
Give me some too. I had a tough time today.
I'll just eat it. Give it to me.
Why would you just eat it? You don't like clams.
Then I'll do it.
Just sit there. This is my job.
You're so silly.
Da-jeong, have a drink.
-Sure. -You're the hero.
-Great job today. -Great work.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
You had a lot to drink.
It's okay. Don't worry about me, and go home.
I'll get going. Bye.
-Great job today. -Great work.
Are you leaving?
-Goodbye. -Bye.
-See you around. -Goodbye.
-My gosh.
You've done well. You did everything very well.
So don't blame yourself even if you don't make it.
You did well.
It's okay.
You did well.
Are you okay?
How much did you drink?
Let me see.
Dae-yeong.
What took you so long?
I was waiting for you.
Da-jeong, pull yourself together.
Why are you so flustered?
Ji-hun looks so handsome in real life.
Persia would perish at his presence.
She can't swim!
You need to stop smiling at random people.
They'll take it the wrong way.
If you're going after her with your teenage puppy love,
you should stop.
There's more than meets the eye.
