to be a petty civil servant?

I can't believe

I'm reduced to this.

Holy cow!

Why did you do it?

It's not what it looks!

It's a misunderstanding!

And...

I'm not the type who

does this, but...

do you...

have another man?

Man? Really?

What do you take me for!

Good enough for me.

Because I trust you.

What just... happened?

I'm truly amazed.

Holy cow!

In just 44 hours, 14 minutes

and 28 seconds since rebirth,

you received divorce papers,

stole a credit card and

ended up in the police station.

The thing is...

If your goal was to tip the balance

of this world, then congrats.

Make good with

your husband at once.

I don't communicate

well with men in general...

Up there, I got many

replacement candidates.

Did Mom really stole these?

Of course not!

The cops were

begging for forgiveness!

Right? Mom's been weird,

but she'd never steal.

Heck no!

Honey.

Give it, I'll return them.

Just keep it.

What? Are you mad?

Cool it.

Keep it, I'll take care of it.

No, I'll wear whatever's

lying around.

Just do what I say!

I don't want others saying

my girl looks crusty.

"My girl"?

Of course, are you

someone else's?

DO NOT COMPLY:

TO REDEVELOPMENT!

Take one each.

Are you buying?

What's got into you?

They said redevelopment

would be in 5 years,

but if they start in 3,

where do we go?

I know.

TO:
HK CONSTRUCTION...

TO:
HK CONSTRUCTION... Yes, Ms. KANG entrusted

me before she got into an accident.

Yes, I'm her officer manager.

I talked to the residents

on the phone,

and they're willing to accept,

if compensation is adequate.

ZONE DEMOLITION PLAN

Dang it!

She did so much for so little.

Even gifting the guard

with ginseng.

Holy cow!

Oh yeah, I was supposed to

pick you up.

How did you get here?

Ji-woo's mom said,

"get your poop together!"

end of message.

Vitamin.

- Again?

- Yes.

Go on.

It's really sour.

You still have to take it.

I don't believe it...

So sour!

What's with the vitamins?

- Dad!

- My boy!

Haru!

Had a good day?

- Yeah.

- Get ready for dinner.

I'm home.

Did you workout?

Why're you out of breath?

You know, a little exercise.

Tomorrow's that district office gala,

can you make it?

It's a bit...

Well, if it makes you

uncomfortable...

I can just go alone.

Make good with

your husband at once

I'll go!

I'll go with you.

That'd make me happy.

I'll go wash up.

PUBLIC PROJECT SELECTION GALA

Honey...

Not good?

It's great, really pretty.

Did you just stutter?

So beautiful!

I was stunned!

Let's go in.

Hurry, hurry.

Wait...

Good evening!

I'm KIM Sung-hwan

of City Planning.

Our district's handsome employee.

This is the ward chief.

Hello, I'm attorney LEE...

I'm his wife KIM Yeon-woo.

I checked the budget,

and it was very good.

He worked so hard for it.

- The budget's good...

- Yes, sir.

But too bad there weren't

any new projects.

I see.

So I proposed subway

noise barriers in district 1.

The residential area?

Isn't that area

up for redevelopment?

It hasn't been finalized yet.

I've looked into it, and

concluded that it's not urgent.

What's urgent is

the sidewalk in district 5.

For creating an aesthetic area.

Instead of sidewalks,

noise barriers are...

Ward chief, this way please.

Dinner is prepared over there.

Will you join us?

And Mrs. KIM too.

Him as well?

Of course.

Go ahead.

Shall we?

Ward chief, isn't the food great?

Indeed, it's great.

I selected it myself,

since your taste buds

are very high quality.

Your suit looks fantastic too.

Thank you so much.

Ward chief!

I have a question.

What could you be curious about?

Feel free to speak your mind.

Why're sidewalks replaced

so frequently?

Decent sidewalks are

constantly being replaced.

Won't the city save money by

repairing damaged sections?

Trendy designs are

constantly changing...

It's still concrete.

Doesn't impact daily lives much.

What's with you?

You must be interested in

our men's work.

Yes, I actually do.

Are you from the last century?

She has an odd sense of humor...

Yeon-woo, please...

Let go, let me go!

Then which project would

impact daily lives?

I'm not saying it because

it's my husband's idea,

but erecting noise barriers

is a good idea.

Lady.

Policy-making isn't like

playing Monopoly.

The barriers won't mean

much to you.

It'll be redeveloped,

and not many houses too.

Please stop.

But they're residents of this zone,

they've the right to be heard.

Every citizen has the right to

live in peace, as written in law...

Didn't you learn that

in primary school?

Yes, of course we did.

How long till redevelopment?

It was originally 5 years from now,

but their lawyer

pushed the date up,

and received consent

from the residents,

so it'll be in 3 years.

Anyway, let's discuss

the barriers tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yes, of course.

Let go!

What's the matter!

Are you nuts?

Just thank me,

I revenged him for you!

Revenge? What revenge?

Mr. CHOI is still my boss,

you can't step all over him!

How inconsiderate,

I fought so hard for you!

Who asked you?

Are you a fighter?

Then why bring me here?!

I wanted to treat you

to a fancy dinner!

I found you.

So you got your wife

to help your crusade?

Crusade?

It's everyone's right!

Be quiet.

Mr. CHOI, right?

Since you're so set on sidewalks,

you must've been lobbied hard.

What? How dare you...

- Let go of me!

- Good night.

Let go!

Both the bastard and

the b*tch lack class.

You're just gonna take it?

Watch your mouth!

What did you call my wife?

How dare you!

Sweetie! Sweetie!

What happened?

- Am I bleeding?

- Are you okay?

You should've kept your cool.

How can I stand by

and let him insult my wife?

Only fools would let it slide.

If you're fired

and we go homeless?

Then we'll live happily

on the streets.

Don't worry.

I'll never let my family starve

even for a day.

Why did you give up law school?

Why dredge up memories?

Are you so bothered

that I gave it up?

I told you, you didn't do

anything wrong.

Back then...

I had a lovely wife,

and an angelic baby,

I had responsibilities to fulfill.

I can still vividly remember

the day she was born.

How could a newborn have

beautiful eyes like yours?

A nurse rolled her up

and handed over to me,

I made a resolution then.

That I'd risk my life

to protect my family.

As you know,

my grandma raised me,

and I longed for a family.

I find joy in my job,

working for the people,

listening to their suffering,

and solving their problems.

You could've made it big

being a model with that face...

Life isn't all about the money.

Thank you.

Allow me.

Cheers!

Yeon-woo, are you asleep?

I'm so awake!

What should I do?

Help me sleep!

What should I do?

Go to sleep!

That horndog...

Being a little nice

brought out his true nature.

Mom!

Fine, no biggie.

If you want it so badly,

I'll do it.

Is that rice?

What's going on?

Did you make up with dad?

Why's it weird for a housewife

to do housewife stuff?
