The World of the Married (부부의 세계)

(All characters, organizations, places, and events are fictional.)

It was perfect.

("Understanding Literature", "How to Write Movie Scripts")

(Seoul Independent Film Festival, Best Director Award)

Everything that surrounded me was perfect.

Hey, you're back.

I missed you.

I'm so late.

Come here.

You need to send Joon Young to school.

Get up. I'll make you a cup of coffee.

I bought one for myself because planes are so dry.

I can't believe you got a cherry-flavored one though.

I don't know how to speak Chinese.

I'll go ahead and take a shower first.

Dad. Mom is getting me a math tutor.

On top of English and piano lessons?

- Do you have the time? - It's mad annoying.

Can you talk Mom out of it?

You need to get a grasp on math before you start middle school.

It will only get harder later otherwise.

- She says it'll get harder later. - Dad.

Must he do everything everyone else does?

Our son may not excel in math,

but he's creative just like his dad.

That's right.

Creativity is good.

But if he doesn't have the basics, how will he display his creativity?

Regardless, education is valued the most right now.

Goodness.

Don't think of controlling Dad. Focus on improving your math grade.

- Joon Young. Sorry. - Goodness.

- See you later. - Hey.

Don't I look old?

They photoshopped it well.

I guess.

You get prettier as you age.

Whatever.

Hold on.

Wear this.

It's raining tonight, so it'll get chilly.

What about you?

My wifey can't catch a cold. I don't care about me.

Sun Woo, how's the planning going for Mr. Lee's birthday party?

Tae Oh rejected the banner, so we nixed that.

We'll just have some flowers.

For drinks, we're having wine and craft beer.

Whom did you invite?

The same people from his last birthday party...

plus the association chair, Councilman Cha,

and Tae Oh's employees.

Good. You are so perfect.

How was Jeju Island?

The weather was nice, right?

Did you have a romantic time with Je Hyuk?

It was nice. I felt like we were newlyweds again.

- Hi. - Hello.

(Kong Ji Chul, Hospital Director Ji Sun Woo, Associate Director)

- Good morning. - Morning.

Hello.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Why is there a cop car out front?

We have trouble.

What trouble?

Dr. Ma strangled someone at a bar.

Mr. Ma did that?

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.

Dr. Ji. Good, you're finally here.

Our associate director is in charge of external matters.

I'd like to hear what happened.

A man fainted at a bar last night and is still unconscious.

According to witnesses, Ma Kang Suk...

got in the ambulance with him and strangled him.

Did Dr. Ma administer first aid?

That's what he claims,

but the victim's family insists he was drunk and hurt him.

They're threatening to press charges.

If you are employing someone mentally unstable as a doctor,

they will hold the hospital accountable as well.

That's ridiculous.

Why should the hospital be blamed for a personal problem?

May I see the paramedics' record?

He administered CPR, but there was still no pulse,

so he gave him endotracheal intubation.

Did you use the cricoid pressure maneuver for intubation?

Cricoid... What?

Prior to intubation, you apply pressure on the cricoid cartilage...

to confirm the airway is open.

To the average person, it can look like you're strangling them.

That's... That's what happened.

That's what it was. Cricoid pressure.

Please question the paramedics again for their detailed accounts,

and if there's still a problem, please send him an official summons.

If they claim the doctor who gave the best first aid possible...

to someone whose heart stopped made a mistake,

we will defend him aggressively.

Okay, okay. Back to your stations.

Office hours will start soon.

- Let's go. - What are you waiting for?

The hospital doesn't operate it I step away for a minute.

Dr. Ma.

How much did you drink?

You still reek of alcohol.

You should go home.

That moron director. What would he have done without you?

Anyway. What a useless director.

We need to do something about Dr. Ma.

I feel like he'll cause even bigger trouble.

You look lively.

Your husband must be back.

How did you know?

Seeing as how much oxytocin you have in your system,

you're still in your honeymoon stage.

Dr. Sul.

Cut me some slack. I'm sexually frustrated.

I feel like I'm going to snap.

I want to sleep, but...

Are you listening?

How long has it been since you had trouble sleeping?

It started three months ago.

It seems to be a trend with young women...

to take that in lieu of appetite suppressants.

I'm not interested in losing weight.

I need sleeping pills, that's all.

That's more reason why you should see a psychiatrist.

I know that.

I'm here because I don't want to leave a record there.

I already confirmed that a family doctor can prescribe it.

Yes, I can, but...

it's my policy not to prescribe barbiturates too rashly.

Moreover, it is against my ethics as a doctor...

to prescribe it to someone...

who refuses to have a psychiatric evaluation on the record.

You must come.

Thank you for the offer,

but I'm not sure if I'll have the time.

You told me to get over my menopause...

by rebuilding my self-esteem.

You told me to look for something I can be passionate about.

That's why I started painting.

That's why you must come.

Your fashion style...

changed a bit.

If one wants to live young,

they need a man's love.

I think it was worth changing my style.

I'm having some fun these days.

You're doing much better.

I don't think you need to come in anymore.

Okay.

I'll expect to see you at the exhibition.

Have a good day.

Wait up!

Mom.

Joon Young.

We'll be sleeping outdoors in a tent when we go camping.

Are you sure Dad can go? Are you completely sure?

Of course, he can.

He promised to clear his schedule.

He promised to go last year, then something came up last minute.

What if it happens again this year?

I can't trust him.

Dad will take you camping this year no matter what,

so don't worry.

Ma'am.

Hello.

Don't you recognize me?

I'm Jang Mi Yun. I was Mr. Lee's assistant director.

Of course.

I met you at the company's opening ceremony.

I remember you.

I think your hair was short then.

Yes. I got extensions. It looks real, doesn't it?

What brought you to this neighborhood?

Didn't Mr. Lee tell you?

I've been working as his secretary for over a year.

His assistant?

I raise my daughter alone,

so it was hard to continue working in film production.

I got a divorce.

Mr. Lee knew my situation and hired me as a personal assistant.

I'm so very thankful.

Since work ends at 5pm,

I can pick up my daughter.

At 5pm?

He always leaves work right at 5pm.

Mom?

Yes?

Right.

Are you done?

Look. Which one is the best?

Are they all bad?

I think this will be the best.

I knew it. I was confident about this one too.

(Happy birthday, from Sun Woo and Joon Young)

There we go.

When he hears that you made it, Dad will be so happy.

He's home.

Joon Young.

I heard a nice one came in, so I dropped by to pick it up.
