(Chapter 1. The Pigeon House)

You're here.

I made dinner. Come and eat.

I'm tired. I'll eat later.

Don't be like that. Just eat.

It'll be more of a hassle to eat later.

No, I want to rest now because I'm tired.

I made food for you. Why

are you getting angry?

It's not that.

("No Yeong Won's Everlasting Solution")

(The couple doesn't understand

each other's communication style.)

I get why they were called

the Can't Communicate Couple.

From the husband's perspective,

he did something for his wife,

but his wife got annoyed.

That must be why he

expressed how upset he was.

Yes, the husband is definitely a

nice person who takes good care

of his wife.

However,

this is gaslighting.

- "Gaslighting?"

- Yes.

Recently, we have suggested

that people use the term,

"emotional and psychological control."

Since it usually happens

between close relationships,

it takes the form of attachment.

It sometimes even happens among

family members without recognition.

It could be something that

anyone may have experienced,

and I could have gaslit someone else too.

Yes, people often say this.

"Family is precious."

"I'm saying all of this for

your sake as your family."

I'm sure it's all said

out of affection and love,

but overly insisting on something

and blocking the emotional

independence of a family member

is not all right.

After hearing that, I think I

should consider what I say

to my husband and child too.

Yes.

In relationships with your

spouse, parents, and children,

we must think about whether or not

we are emotionally controlling someone

in the name of love.

Cut!

- Gosh, good work, everyone.

- Good work, everyone.

- Thank you for your hard work.

- Thank you.

- Honey.

- Hey, did you sleep well?

Gosh, you're beautiful

so early in the morning.

One second.

Here.

Pass?

You sure look good in olive green.

Is that so?

Get ready and come downstairs.

I'll go and wake Do Hyun.

All right.

There's nothing you don't know

about me, right, Dr. No Yeong Won?

Of course.

Do Hyun. There you go.

It's hard going to school

every morning, isn't it?

Can I just sleep for ten more minutes?

How nice would it be not to do

something just because it's hard?

Son.

Isn't your schedule too tight?

Mom, I think I could run for mayor.

There are too many people I meet every day.

What did I say?

Studying is for yourself, not for me.

Every decision is up to you.

Yes. I chose this.

Oh, it's seasoned just right.

- Father will like it.

- Yes.

Our eyes met.

Our hands grazed one another.

And our lips touched.

I unbuttoned his shirt,

and his hands

grabbed my head

and pulled it closer.

Like that, we became one.

He was a partner I would never meet again.

It was just like playing

with fire for one night.

However, the partner who

played with fire with me

showed up at my house the next afternoon.

He throws a b*mb.

"Take responsibility."

It is a dog gone afternoon.

("Take responsibility." It

is a dog gone afternoon.)

"It is a dog gone afternoon."

Hey, that smells good.

It's your favourite, sea bream.

It's fresh, since it's in season.

Gosh, sea bream sounds great.

Then, I should taste it.

That's perfect.

You and I have the same taste buds.

Let me see.

That looks good.

It's good. Hurry up and serve it.

- All right. Let's eat.

- Okay.

Ma'am. I'd like toast for breakfast.

We're a family.

A family is supposed

to share the same food.

My gosh.

What is a family?

You can't even communicate

with me on an emotional level.

Gosh, you two. Why are you

bickering this early in the morning?

Ma'am, I'll do it.

Mother, I'll make you some toast.

The arugula is nice and fresh anyway.

- Eat. Go ahead.

- Okay.

Did you say Dr. Choi's award

ceremony was next month?

Yes, early next month.

People are already sending their

congratulations and making a fuss.

My son is so amazing.

Oh, Yeong Won.

That doctor's award you're getting.

A married couple receiving

it together is a first, right?

Oh, yes.

Gosh, Dr. No is great, indeed.

Dr. No is a national doctor.

It's obvious that you

should win this award, right?

It's all thanks to Jae Jin.

Reconstructive surgery is

not something anyone can do.

But you've also done a good job, Ms. No.

Oh, Mother.

What should we do about our

outfits for the award ceremony?

I usually pick out Jae Jin's outfits,

but you know how to dress

for those formal events, Mother.

Our Dr. Choi looks great in anything,

but I'll tell CEO Kim about

your outfit too, Ms. No.

All right.

Grandpa, please send me to Jeju Island.

Jeju Island? Why?

What are you talking

about, all of a sudden?

Oh, So Yi said she was going

to Jeju Island during the break

for an English camp.

Can't you let me go too?

Do Hyun.

I see you're head over heels for So Yi.

So Yi?

Who do you take after that

you fall in love so easily?

I wonder who.

It's not wrong that my

grandson is a romanticist.

- Go on.

- Really?

- Yes, go on.

- Father, but the thing is

It's all right.

- Let's go, Father.

- Hold on.

Take this! Here.

Here.

You want this, don't you?

Here.

- Let's go.

- Let's go, Father.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

What should we do during lunch?

Hello. This is No Yeong Won's Clinic.

Yes. Thank you for the call, but I'm sorry.

Dr. No's schedule is fully packed.

Tell me about it.

Yes. Currently, appointments

are available after six months.

I apologize. Bye.

Dr. No, people are urging

us to take more appointments.

No. My son's in the 11th grade. I

have to care for him in many ways.

Yeong Won.

You need to strike while the iron is hot.

Then, I'll make it bigger

and drift apart from my family.

I tell you all the time.

Work is important,

- but my family is important too.

- Your family is important too.

You're really like Wonder Woman.

You deal with all your work

while taking care of your family.

Doesn't it suffocate you?

Breathe a little.

And my style of counselling isn't

small profits and quick returns.

- It should be on another level.

- Of course.

All right. Here's the

list of today's patients.

- It's a new patient.

- Right.

(Because Dr. No Yeong Won is pretty)

What on earth?

Because I'm pretty?

Exactly.

This way, please.

Dr. No, the patient is here.

Have a seat here.

Hello, Ms. Lee Se Na.

- Hello, Dr. No.

- It's good to see you.

I really wanted to see you.

I waited so long, you see.

Really? I'm very sorry.

On the visitation route column,

you wrote "because Dr. No's

pretty." You didn't mean it, did you?

- It's true.

- Oh, really?

It's quite pleasing.

How's your suffocating symptom?

What about you?

Are you okay?

I feel suffocated sometimes.

I guess everyone has something

that suffocates them. Right?

"I'm not the only one."

"It's the same for everyone else."

This way of thinking is one

of the defence mechanisms.

You'll get better as you take

time to look for the cause.

What do you think suffocates you?

Anxiety

Frustration?

The truth is,

there's someone I love.

But he doesn't know how I feel.

So I feel like dying.

Like dying?

What about the other person?

Does that person know

that you have this emotion?

He probably doesn't.

Which of your emotions do

you want him to be aware of?

I'm anxious and frustrated

that he seems unhappy.

He has a family that doesn't suit him.

A family that doesn't suit him?

How should I put it?

What frustrates me is that

it's not because of my happiness

that I want him to get divorced.

Why can't they get divorced

when they stay married for show?

Why do they meaninglessly live together

just because they're family?

Kind of like this.

I only

want him to be happy.

Still, people might

point their fingers at me.

Are you afraid of people's criticism?

Not really.

That's not important.

But

I wonder

what will happen if his family

finds out about our relationship.

They know nothing about each other,

but they act like they do

just because they're family.

It's a little pathetic.

Dr. No.

What about you?

What do you mean?

Do you know everything

about your family?

Well,

a family doesn't always mean

they know all about each other.

I see.

("Beast's Yesterday")

"It's boring as expected."

(It's boring as expected.)

You're more boring.

(I liked it. Don't mind them.)

Are you sure you haven't had a meltdown?

Would you not have a

meltdown if you were me?

I bet a woman like her has no husband.

Even if she does, her husband

will cheat on her for sure.

(I bet a woman like her has no husband.)

(Even if she does, her husband

will cheat on her for sure.)

A little bit higher.

Goodness!

What are you doing?

What?

I'm appreciating that art piece right now.

I know that you have a weird taste,

but let's please get

rid of this iron plate.

I think I have a nightmare

every night because of this.

What are you saying? This is my room.

Can't we turn off these lights?

Fine. Okay.

Who knows?

That thing might fall off.

Let their lives be valuable.

We thank you, and may you

bless us in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Amen.

- Prosecutor Choi. Long time no see.

- Gosh.

I hope you're well.

Seeing you after a long time

reminds me of when you were a prosecutor.

Oh, really?

Whenever I come here, the sight

of the Public Prosecutors' Office

makes me feel dizzy

that I survived those times.

- Goodness.

- Time flies.

Ma'am,

I heard it's hard to make an

appointment at Dr. No's clinic.

My husband's nephew was asking.

Would it be hard even if I prayed?

- Dr. No.

- Yes, Mother?

Why don't you make a

room for her next week?

Mr. Lee's nephew's asking.

Is it possible, Dr. No?

To be honest,

I can't change the existing

appointment for a favour.

One second.

I'm sorry,

but I'm fully booked for this month.

But if you give me your

nephew's phone number,

I'll tell my manager to contact him.

Really?

Oh, my. Thank you so much.

- Chairman Lee.

- Yes?

Dr. No will book an appointment.

Oh, my. Thank you, Dr. No.

You're welcome.

You must be so happy, Prosecutor Choi.

Yes, of course.

My daughter-in-law lets me put on airs.

Oh, no.

It's something I must do.

Considering the relationship

between you and Father.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Let's go.

- Yes.

- It's great.

- Yes, it sure is.

Let's go, Mother.

Amen.

Son.

Is everything all right?

What could possibly happen?

It's always the same routine.

Is it

What?

Is it about So Yi?

No.

No?

Did you get dumped?

No.

Then what is it?

Are you going out with her?

Gosh.

Tell me. I won't tell anyone.

As if. You'll tell everything

to Mom if she asks.

I'm not the one who'd say that.

You let Mom control you.

That's because I love her.

What about So Yi? What's she like?

You don't need to worry.

She's completely different from Mom.

Is he following you?

Are you crazy?

Look at his face.

So Yi.

What are you doing today?

It's about time to get a haircut.

You think so?

They're alike.

Yeong Won.

What are you doing here at

this hour? You should be at work.

Gosh.

Yeong Won, I don't think

I'm fit to be a salesman.

No, it's not that. I don't

get along with doctors.

Why do I have to make myself available

when doctors want to have a meal with me?

I have a life too.

That's exactly what salesmen like you do.

If you're going to keep

that attitude, quit it.

Yes, so I quit.

What?

Seriously! You little

You quit again in less than a month?

I have plans.

Plans? What are they?

I'm going to start a start-up.

Start-up, my foot.

Yeong Won, I've thought about it.

We'll let people listen

to your diagnosis

via call.

Or text messages.

It's kind of like the AI chatbot system.

We'll charge fees, so more people can

Yeong Won. The world

now operates on big data.

This isn't unprecedented.

Seriously.

Yeong Won, think about it.

For more people to share

your precious counselling,

no service is better than this.

People who live outside the city or abroad.

They're all your potential customers.

Can't you see the money?

No?

Gosh, this is an amazing

idea. You're not influenced?

Yeong Won,

aren't you getting sick

of dealing with people

and counselling them?

How about trying something

new and counselling dogs?

There are ten million

people living with dogs now.

Dog camp with Dr. No Yeong Won.

- Isn't it

- You little

People are totally wrong.

They think you're generous,

but they need to know

how violent you are

Cut it out.

- I'm disappointed

- Leave now.

I am leaving.

Stop urging me.

I'm disappointed.

My goodness.

(Recipient: No Y. Won)

(Is your family well?)

(Is your family well?)

(Is your family well?)

- What's that?

- What?

Nothing.

I booked an appointment

for Chairman Lee's nephew

the week after.

Good job. Thanks.

Not even Chairman Lee can buy

an appointment with you.

Stop it.

- Have a good day.

- You too.

Okay.

Bear it with me.

Yeong Won, it's fine.

Sometimes you slip in life.

It hurts when I slip.

That's what ointment is for.

When it's more painful, you have me.

Here.

All done.

Yeong Won, life

isn't always

this smooth.

You might fail,

and sometimes you

might slip like you just did.

So life goes

up and down

and that's how people become resilient.

Then are the slides on playgrounds

there for you to practice slipping?

No.

I'm not going to slip.

Are you okay?

I'm okay. I'm fine.

Well done, Jae Jin.

Let's go eat.

Everyone must be hungry.

Okay.

We should.

(J Plastic and Reconstruction

Surgery Center)

Gosh.

The kimchi stew place I know is

Mr. Choi.

Oh, Tae Oh.

What brings you here?

You should've called me.

You have a plan for lunch already?

I should've called you.

Well

Dr. Oh, I forgot that I

had a prior engagement.

A prior engagement?

You didn't mention that.

I'm hungry.

Oh, okay.

Here. Go and eat something delicious.

Eat something delicious. Bye.

What is this? You didn't even call me.

I wanted to see you.

Doctor of the Year Award?

I expected that much from Dr. No.

But I didn't expect that

Dr. Choi would also get it.

Ms. Kim, you usually

don't have the best guesses.

Anyway, you must be so happy that

both your son and daughter-in-law

are receiving awards.

This outfit would be so nice

for the awards ceremony too.

I don't know. Do I really have to go?

Aren't you going to the

awards ceremony as well?

I'm not sure.

Then, where would you

wear this kind of outfit?

By the way, when is our award winner

coming in for a fitting?

How many years has it been

since you've dressed our Dr. Choi?

Just choose something you see fit.

And you know, my dear Jae Jin.

He has no interest in

receiving awards and whatnot.

No, I meant our dear Dr. No.

They say all the outfits that

Dr. No wears are all the rage.

I feel quite pressured, you know.

When will she be here for her fitting?

What's with this?

Ms. Kim, you're not as

good as you used to be.

You've lost your touch with this outfit.

(Soft Hands)

This place is still here.

(Soft Hands)

My goodness.

Welcome.

Does the broth

suit your taste?

It's been a while.

Yes.

You've been well, haven't you?

But how is this place

You asked me what one should

eat when one feels empty inside.

At the time, this was the

only dish that I served you.

I remembered how you liked

it. In case the flavour changed,

I bought this place.

Is it too sweet?

I'll try it. Thank you.

It's way too sweet.

Have some coffee.

There's something I wanted to ask you.

Do Hyun is 18 years old, right?

Yes, he's in 11th grade.

I think you'd be a very

friendly dad. Is that right?

Of course, we're like friends.

He and I have the

worst brains in our house.

He used to be so adorable

- Jae Jin.

- Oh, honey.

- This is my husband, Jae Jin.

- Right.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- We'll go outside first.

- Okay.

- You must've had lunch here too.

- Yes.

This is a senior doctor's son. He

just got accepted to medical school.

He's going to go to the same school as you.

Oh, I see. It's nice to meet you.

Hello. I'm Moon Tae Oh.

Haven't we met somewhere

before? You seem familiar to me.

- Yes, we have.

- Where?

On TV.

You're so famous.

- Well, then. You should eat.

- Okay, I'll see you at home.

Okay, I'll see you later.

- It was nice to meet you.

- Yes, have a safe trip home.

I feel like I just met

a celebrity! Oh, gosh!

She must've had lunch here.

I was so nervous.

- You looked like it.

- Did I?

Hey, Ra Kyung.

Yeong Won, a video is

circulating on tabloids.

What is it?

Well, that is

It's about your father's case.

Okay. Send it to me for now.

Dr. No Yeong Won has been

saying that even family members

should be cut off if they make you suffer.

But did you know this?

That there is a family member

that even she couldn't cut off.

Dr. No has a father who committed suicide.

It's known that he committed suicide

while being investigated for embezzlement.

But you guys also know

that he was also involved in

a sexual harassment case, right?

What would she think of her father

who sexually harassed someone?

She couldn't even cut off

her own family member,

but she insists that her patients

cut people off themselves.

Does it even make any sense

that she can fix other

people's mental health?

Hwang Ju Group's Director

No Sun h* was investigated

for embezzlement all night long

and returned home early this morning.

The investigation began yesterday

around 10am and lasted all night.

It ended around 5am today after 19 hours.

During the prosecution's

investigation on the 22nd,

Mr. No was suspected of embezzling

Hwang Ju Group's company funds.

Why did you do it?

- What are you saying?

- Don't be like that, Sun h*.

Secretary Song already

made her statement

that she was sexually harassed.

Don't you know me? I'm

telling you, it's not true!

That's not what's important.

Secretary Song is making a very detailed

and consistent statement.

Go Myeon.

You should trust me, no

matter what anyone says!

I honestly don't know.

It's too late for me to

get a handle on this.

I'll be going.

Go Myeon. Hey.

It's not true, Yeong Won.

It's not.

I feel wronged.

I haven't done anything like

that. I'm telling you the truth.

Prove it.

If you're telling the

truth, you can prove it.

You said so yourself.

That you become

resilient as you slip and fall.

You've slipped and fallen this far.

You should become strong now.

You should protect your family, at least.

You're my dad.

Could you sign this, please?

(CEO Hwang Kyung Ju)

(Dr. No Yeong Won's Nasty Family Affair)

(A lunatic treats lunatics.)

So, did you look into it?

I found no criminal records.

The social media account is clean too.

It's clean, Mr. Choi.

That's why it's weird, though.

Look more into it.

I'm sure there's something.

Roger that.

I'll have a glass of whiskey ready for you.

You're still drinking, Father.

- You didn't go to bed?

- No.

Grab a glass and take a seat.

Let's drink after a long time.

Sure.

Let me pour you some.

- Will you?

- Yes.

Here.

Are you concerned about something?

Well

I'm reminded of him a lot today.

I mean your father-in-law.

Yeong Won's father.

I see.

You should be good to her.

Yes, Father.

Good.

Jae Jin, come close.

Back in the past, I

Jae Jin. Shouldn't you go to bed?

Dr. Choi, aren't you tired?

Well

He's tired, and you

I guess your mom still

sees you as a little child.

Go to bed now. Rest up.

You drank a lot. You

should go to bed after this.

Okay.

Good night.

What are you unhappy about this time?

All your life, you cheated on

me and hardly stayed home.

And now, you're suddenly playing father.

It's late, but it won't hurt.

And

while he was growing up,

you never let me go near him.

Why do you think I did that?

He had nothing to learn from his father.

Keeping a son away from anything dirty.

That's called maternal instinct.

Countless affairs you've had.

What you've done behind Jae Jin's back.

And what I've done to

keep your prosecutor title.

I won't ask you to be grateful for those.

So,

just don't get on my nerve.

Oh, you did that for me just now?

You did that for our family?

No, you didn't.

It was all to keep your graceful image.

Why? You'll be humiliated

if the truth is exposed.

Don't make me laugh.

You have zero sense of empathy, don't you?

All these years, I've protected you

for you're part of my family.

But I regret it so much.

Look. Madam Hong Sa Kang.

Do you really think our

family and all that we have

could be protected only

through your efforts?

Regret?

Your arrogance and prejudice

are ruining your life and that of Jae Jin.

You know that?

There.

Not like that.

Good dog.

Slow down.

We're almost there.

Goodness.

I'm okay, Jae Bok.

It could've been bad.

My dear daughter-in-law, you remind me

of the flower language,

eternal beauty. Cheer up.

Hi, Jae Jin.

Yes.

What's wrong?

(Condolences)

Goodness. Go Myeon.

You took such care of yourself,

so how could you get

slammed by a rock to death?

You were never the kind of

person who would die like that.

- Goodness. Go Myeon.

- Should we escort her home?

Go Myeon.

- Go Myeon!

- Please go on in.

It will be okay.

I'll have the car ready.

Mr. An, you should stay here.

You know my father's mourners well.

Well Let me drive her home.

Will you do that?

Thank you, Dr. Oh.

Dr. No.

Ms. Lee Se Na?

What are you doing here?

Do you know my father-in-law?

The truth is,

there's someone I love.

He has a family that doesn't suit him.

Why can't they get divorced

when they stay married for show?

Why do they meaninglessly live together

just because they're family?

Kind of like this.

I'm sorry.

I'll see you again, Dr. No.

Right. You won't feel like eating either.

Just a moment.

Prosecutor Choi loved this photo.

It has been quite some time

since you started working for him.

It has been 15 years.

He made a joke about it,

telling me to work for him

for at least 20 years, even

though I may be sick of him.

He really liked you.

Thank you for staying with us.

I should've had another

glass with you, Father.

(My dear Go Myeon, how are you doing?)

still alive? Did you have to leave?)

(Ballet practice)

Prosecutor Choi,

take care of Director No.

And you have to join us in Hwang Ju Group.

But sir,

he's such an upright person.

I don't think Director No

will just sit back and take it.

That is why we must get him involved

with this sexual harassment case for sure.

Yes, then,

you mean that the secretary

will give a false statement

that she was sexually

harassed by Director No, right?

But sir,

that female secretary

must clearly do her part.

You know this, right?

Of course.

All right.

We'll give it a try.

Sir, the female secretary

must clearly do her part.

We'll be in big trouble if there

are talks about a false statement

and that nothing actually

happened. You know this, right?

She will definitely do her part.

Do you know how much I paid her?

It's not true, Yeong Won. I feel wronged.

If you're telling the

truth, you can prove it.

You should protect your family, at least.

(Hwang Kyung Ju)

(Hwang Kyung Ju)

Yeong Won.

Hey, Jae Jin. Come down.

Yeong Won!

(Bitter Sweet Hell)

There are rumours that your

mother-in-law was the one

who k*lled your father-in-law.

Prosecutor Choi's death

was exactly the same

as Novelist Hong's novel.

When is that conference until?

There wasn't a conference

for plastic surgery.

I have returned safely.

I'm proud of the things we

were able to achieve until now.

Did you know about this?

Is that important?

Family members must not

know everything about each other.

Is this really true?
