Episode 1

Son Ji Eun lives a very lonely wife to Jin Chang Gook, who only cares for his birds in a cage.  He treats them like family and often Ji Eun comes a poor third to the birds.

Son Ji Eun asked him to have a baby but he refused.  As far as he was concerned, his family is complete with the birds as their babies, thus he had not slept with Ji Eun for the last three years.

New neighbors had just moved in.

Ji Eun envies that they seemed happy with two daughters in tow.  They are also well off.

Ji Eun then got a syroruse when she saw the woman, her new neighbour, in a steamy clinch with another man in the parking garage of the supermarket where she works.

She saw the woman, Do Ha yoon, the next day in the supermarket behaving rather mysteriously.

Poor Ji Eun was really ill but she was forced to go to work at the supermarket.  She was thinking of buying new lipstick but on whim, she stole one which fell on her feet.

She was seen by her by Do Ha Yoon and blackmailed her to be her alibi as a schoolboy threw a pot on the windscreen of her car while she was in a passionate moment with yet another man.

The boy was taken to the police station and a guardian was called for him.

The guardian turned out to be his teacher, Yoon Jung Woo.

Do Ha Yoon said that she was not in the car because she was inside the supermarket meeting Ji Eun.

Ji Eun had had enough and left the station followed by Yoon Jung Woo.

Ji Eun collapsed in his arms and ended in the hospital.

He really looked after her.

When she got home her husband was not that bothered that she has a neck brace and was suffering from a painful shingle.

Episode 2

Ji Eun confronted her neighbour about her affairs.

Do Ha Yoon said that she was just looking for her happiness and doesn’t see what was wrong with it.  She said that she only does it during the afternoon, from 3 to 5.  Two hours of happiness is all she wanted.

Ji Eun became fascinated with Yoon Jung Woo.  However, she found out that he is married.

Do Ha Yoon continued to rely on Ji Eun for alibi when one of her paramours came knocking at her house when her husband was at home.

Do HaYoon called JI Eun to help her out.

It so happened that Ji Eun’s mother-in-law saw her with Do Ha Yoon’s man and misinterpreted the whole thing.

Yoon Jung Woo’s wife had just come back from the US after three years of being away from her Jung Woo.

Jung Woo’s welcome was rather underwhelming.

Jung Woo and Ji Eun had a moment of just staring longingly at one another. But they were fighting it.

Episode 3

Yoon Jung Woo asked his wife to register their marriage but she seems reluctant.  She said it is what is in their heart that is important not a piece of paper.

Chang Gook is getting closer to his partner, he is a social worker, that they working hours extend to personal hours.

Chang Gook though enchanted with the situation was still trying to resist and started paying more attention to Ji Eun who was behaving like a scared cat.

Do Ha Yoon finally found someone who resisted her, who told her that he doesn’t find her beautiful.  He was Mr Do, who is a writer working with her husband.  She accepted that she finally had fallen in love and not reciprocated.

Do Ha Yoon continues to throw Yoon Jung Woo and Ji Eun together.

But they are still both resisting, though Yoon Jung Woo is beginning to sway.

He was there when Ji Eun was looking for love.  He asked her if she was looking for love.  Well, she was looking for Love their escaped budgie.  Her husband accused her of having planned to allow their children to leave.
