Durian's Affair (Lady Durian / Mrs. Durian / Seonnyeo Durian / 아씨두리안 / 선녀두리안)

What would you like?

Ice cream was enough.

You don't like coffee? I thought you would.

It'll keep her up.

It keeps you up?

It does if I drink it too late in the day.

I'll drink it, then.

You can take it with you.

It won't taste as good. The aroma evaporates.

You better eat it before it melts.

What's your name?

I can't reveal my real name.

You first.

I'm... - This is Hyeon Ju Nam.

I'm Yoo Gang Hee.

I'm Baek Do Kyung.

Your name suits your look.

Who were you with?

My juniors. - From school?

I'm sorry, but I must head off.

You're leaving? - My roommate got hurt.

Just so you know, I live with a guy.

Is it bad? - He must be bleeding a lot.

He got cut somewhere.

I apologize.

Can we meet again?

Do you love food?

I was taught never to waste food.

Me too.

You were taught well,

but too much cold food can make you ill.

I have healthy guts and organs.

I'll drink this.

Don't. What if you can't sleep?

Don't you have work tomorrow?

How long has it been since someone cared for me as a woman?

I do.

I think we're of similar age.

I could be a year or two older.

My gosh. As if.

No way.

I'm...

older.

Are you implying that I look young or that I look youthful?

Being youthful is different from being young.

Is it?

It's not good for a man to look young.

I was born in 1984, the Year of the Rat.

If he was born in 1984,

how old is he?

I was born in 1954, so...

I'm 30 years older?

I'm much older.

That's a joke.

It's not.

Well, physical age doesn't matter.

My first girlfriend was older too.

How nice.

By four years.

Were you in high school...

and dated a college student?

Bingo.

You were quite mature.

I think of her sometimes, even now. We met in church.

It was a church friend, then. An older church girlfriend.

Are you religious? - No.

I only went because it was a mission school.

You look like you're in fashion.

Am I too flashy today?

I dressed up with my juniors.

You left a strong impression.

Only on the outside.

Are you soft on the inside? Your personality.

It depends on who I'm with.

What can I do to make you treat me gently?

Softly.

Why am I so eloquent today?

Aren't I gentle enough?

I guess I'm still nervous.

I feel even worse.

My heart is pounding.

I feel like I'm committing a crime.

What kind of people are you drawn to?

I've never felt drawn to anyone.

Never?

I'm just kidding.

People like you are rare.

Really?

You're charismatic and elegant too.

You're an expert in flattery.

I never heard that praise before.

Was that not praise?

I didn't mean ill by it.

You didn't mean ill, but you didn't mean well, either.

I can't say what I don't mean.

Wouldn't you like to get to know me?

My gosh. Is he asking me out?

What do you do on weekends?

I usually rest.

And exercise.

What kind of exercise? Golf?

Is it written somewhere that I play golf?

These days...

Everyone plays golf?

I should play too.

You must be quite busy.

He doesn't have a businessman feel.

It melted. I'll finish it off.

Gosh.

Is Ayla that unsure of herself?

So Jeo is no looker.

We don't know her background,

and she's extremely ignorant.

She just has her figure.

And that figure is so demure and elegant.

Are you not going to answer that?

Do you have a friend named Hyeon Ju?

Do you know all my friends?

I never heard that name before.

Don't mind me.

You've been in love too.

You married your husband for love.

Love makes you want to know...

Leave if you're going to talk nonsense again.

You're so mean.

How could you say my feelings are nonsense?

Don't say another word.

She'll call.

Throw all this out.

Okay.

How old...

are you?

I'm 39.

Are you?

You look older than that.

Do you feel hot?

I do, a bit.

Take off a few layers. You're wearing too much.

Did you find them?

There was no stationery store nearby,

so I gathered these from the flowerbed.

What are they?

Pebbles to play gonggi with.

Do you want to play gonggi?

I must flex my hand muscles...

to stave off dementia.

Let me have a look.

Will you not play with me?

It's about Deung Myung,

your only grandson.

Don't worry. You're overreacting.

Who means more to you, Deung Myung or So Jeo?

Deung Myung is not that irresponsible.

He even proposed.

You once said you'd never know what could happen...

until the couple walked down the aisle together.

Two female strangers will make Chi Kang uncomfortable.

I need him to have a thing with Du Ri An...

so I have a legitimate excuse to be with you.

He'll be fine.

We had a live-in housekeeper until last year.

He grew up among working folk.

Why do you care so much about So Jeo and Ri An?

I like how they act.

Do they treat you better than I, your eldest son's wife?

If you accept me,

I could become the apple of your eye.

Forget it. We moved on from that page.

You can always move on or go back and reread...

the pages of your heart.

You never give in.

I'm not fighting back.

Anyway, So Jeo and Ri An will live with me.

Do you know how skilled they are?

They speak so elegantly.

What's that saying? "Two's company, but three's a crowd?"

They know when to come and go.

They don't hassle others.

And they help with the housework, floating around quietly.

Hello.

Are you free to talk?

I picked up, didn't I?

Did Chi Gam give you a call?

Why do you ask?

I'd like our housekeeper to stay at the Singal cottage.

Was she discharged?

She was discharged yesterday.

I feel extremely suffocated.

She's not temperamental and does a good job.

You can't send her away because she's unwell.

Weird in what way?

My husband has become a playboy.

Still, he is healthy now.

He is soon to be wed.

He would not get ideas, would he?

I am being silly.

He would not care for the likes of me.

Why would he?

I understand.

The chairwoman wants you to pack.
