They're coming!
Prisoner 1719, JOO Young-ju,
serving for fraud.
The warden has graded you very highly.
You've also worked very hard in the rehabilitation program.
Did you somehow know about the parole screening beforehand?
I've been doing woodwork for my rehabilitation.
I'm making a goose for my sister's wedding gift.
Isn't a goose a gift from the parents?
Isn't it a blessing of fortune?
I have to do it for my sister.
On behalf
of my deceased father.
On behalf of my working mother.
My sister was like both a father and mother to me.
When I think about my sister
missing a year in high school to work for my tuition,
I want to do
everything for my sister.
I'm sorry.
Parole approved
What kind of crap is that?
lnner acting.
Don't go overboard.
You look sad, but you restrain it, okay?
You constipated?
Ladies.
Just give up.
In these distrustful times,
think it's a piece of cake for people to trust you?
Get a life.
Think parole is that high almighty?
JOO Young-ju.
Yes, I'm ready!
Lying is a natural gift,
you know. Don't try to force it.
Just wait it out here.
Bye! I'll call you for sure! You have to wait for me, okay?
Bye! Take care!
She's a real bitch, isn't she?
Now you get the picture.
Too beauTiful To lie
Delicious!
Hi, this is Young-oak's cell phone.
Excuse me...
Who?
- Young-ju? - Who is it?
I don't know. She says she's Young-ju.
- Hello? - Tada! It's me sis, Young- ju!
Young-ju, what's going on?
What do you mean? I got out.
Hey, you don't seem so happy.
- No, it's just that... - Who picked up the phone?
Your future husband?
Yeah.
Anyway, how are the preparations going?
I'm the one who picks out your dress, right?
You can't pick it out yourself.
Not with that bad taste of yours.
I'm headed for Busan now.
I'll pick out a killer dress!
Just wait.
Now?
Why sound so surprised?
Pick the dress already?
Not exactly...
Young-ju.
All my in-laws are here, so I'll be okay.
Why don't you take a rest?
Or go on a trip perhaps.
The wedding is still far away.
I just thought it'd be hard on you.
Yeah, I know how you feel.
It wouldn't be because you're embarrassed of me, right?
Since it's not, then of course I should go.
Young-ju, I think you've misunderstood.
What can be misunderstood between us?
Oh yeah, tell them I'm studying abroad.
That I was in the U.S., Japan, and on my way from Southeast Asia.
That way you'll save face, right?
Young-ju!
I'm going now, so leave your phone on.
Even if it's off, I'll find a way to find you.
Go! Go!
Giddyup! Giddyup!
Go! Go!
We're almost there!
- So what about the club? - Don't throw a Choco Pie.
So what's that nightclub like?
My buddy at the nightclub...
Hold on! Hold on!
- It's not what you think! - Yeah, right!
You pervert!
You bastard!
No, it was the ring!
Ring, my butt!
You see...
Anyway, what I did was not etiquette,
but please understand.
I'm not the person you think I...
You repeated offenders never screw up your lines.
My name is CHOl Hee-chul.
I'm a pharmacist.
Pharmacist CHOl Hee-chul.
In Yongkang, I'm well-trusted,
and I have many customers.
I know we won't meet again,
but I feel bad having to leave
that type of memory with someone.
I'm not that low of a person.
This ring is my mother's.
I'm on my way to propose to someone.
This very important ring mistakenly fell down...
Over there...
My nose is bleeding.
Watch where you're going?
Know what happens when you get into trouble on parole, right?
Stay away from any trouble.
No way that idiot...
He won't pin it on me, will he?
- Guess who? - What the hell?
- Who could it be? - How the hell should I know?
Stop it, damn it!
Oh my!
I thought you were my boyfriend.
I mistook your flat head for my boyfriend's.
- I'm sorry. - You crazy woman!
Watch it, damn it.
My bag!
Hey!
Hey, my bag!
My bag!
Throw my bag!
Throw my bag! Throw it to me!
Hey! My bag!
My goose!
I don't believe this.
No, it's not CHOl Hee-chul's.
He just has it with him.
Yeah.
Bye.
Miss, about your bag.
Looks like he didn't hand it in to lost and found yet.
We'll contact you if he calls,
so you should go home for now.
Yongkang Station
How will I ever find him here?
CHOl Hee-chul?
Hee-chul?
You know him?
Isn't that the Hee-chul at Yongkang Pharmacy?
Yeah, that's him.
You mean the Mayor's son.
If it's the Mayor's son, then isn't he your son's friend?
Of course he's friends with my Young-deuk.
Hee-chul was the top student, Young-deuk was the top bully?
There you go again with your crap!
Did I say something wrong?
Your son ripped Hee-chul's forehead
and his grandma went nuts.
That's right, Hee-chul's grandma adored him.
Sons are precious in that family.
His mother wanted to have a son, so she borrowed my panties for luck.
- Are you serious? - Don't you remember?
- Excuse me. - All they have is one child?
No. They have a daughter, too.
His mother had her and passed away.
Yeah, right after I had my Man-suk.
It's been twenty years already!
Yeah, now I remember.
Hee-chul's grandma was hoping for another son.
But after his weak mother died,
the town scolded the grandma.
The town didn't know anything.
Yeah, she was so good to Hee- chul's mom.
That's right.
Ladies?
Anyway, how do you all know so much?
This town is so small,
we can count all the spoons, right?
So what about Hee-chul?
Yes?
I didn't see Hee-chul at the drug store just now.
Why don't you go directly to the Mayor's home instead?
I've been a taxi driver in this town for ten years.
But I've never seen
a pretty girl like you.
You could be an actress.
Nice skin, pretty legs.
All kinds of people are pissing me off today.
So where can I take you, Princess?
To the Mayor's home.
Why are you going to the Mayor's home?
I'm gonna be his new daughter-in-law.
Wait just one moment.
What can I do for you?
I came to find CHOl Hee-chul.
Hee-chul?
You're too late.
Hee-chul died a year ago.
Today's his memorial.
Is this some horror flick?
Excuse me.
You said you came for Hee-chul?
Actually, what happened with this ring...
Hee-chul isn't here right now.
But Hee-chul's father is at the drug store now.
I'm Hee-chul's aunt.
What can I do for you?
Mother, I'm your third son- in-law.
Goodness, you're too late.
My third son-in-law died last year.
Oh, mother. We have a guest.
She's a bit senile.
Honey, hurry and take her to the drug store.
So you're dating my son, Hee-chul?
Pardon?
Well, it's not what it seems.
Go on with your business.
Hey!
If it's not what it seems,
then why do you have this ring?
It's a bit complicated to explain.
Just think of it as a ring I picked up,
- so please call... - Picked up?
This ring?
I think you've misunderstood.
Actually, I'm not in a position to tell you exactly what happened.
Aren't you going home?
Darn door handle.
Oh, I see you have a guest.
Miss.
You appear out of the blue.
You bring this wedding ring,
and you talk about my son.
Shouldn't you explain exactly, so that I can fully understand?
You're right, but...
What happened, you see...
Well, to tell you the truth,
I didn't meet your son on good terms.
It's partially my fault,
- but he made a mistake to... - Mistake?
No, I mean,
to put it simply,
I just wanna return this ring.
I couldn't reach him, so I came all the way here.
Wait, it sounds as if our Hee-chul did something wrong to you.
Why?
Pardon?
From what you said, my son is making some big mistake.
Isn't that what you're implying?
No, that's not what I mean.
Looks like a new face to me.
Who the heck is this girl?
How did you meet my boy?
Who are you, Miss?
You're all so mean.
Don't ask me anything anymore.
How are you?
I'm so glad to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you from Hee-chul.
What's wrong with her?
Officer Kim!
Bring the stretcher!
Yes, sir.
Why isn't the door opening?
The door usually opens from the outside in a police car.
Open the door!
So Hee-chul said she's his girlfriend?
I don't know exactly.
Come on and tell me.
Then whose girl would it be? His dad's?
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear jae-eun!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, Jae-eun.
I don't know everything.
Just that he mentioned her a few times not long ago.
What makes you sure it's her?
Mom's ring.
Actually, Hee-chul had it for a long time.
You know how corny he can be.
He was going to propose with it.
You must be so happy.
You always said you wanted a daughter- in-law.
Go see how she is.
I should've just finished my time.
Marriage fraud on parole?
It's getting worse by the minute.
I'm looking after
the patient that just left.
I swear she said that she'll be his daughter- in-law.
- Really? - I'm serious.
Anyway, why did she faint?
Wait a minute!
At three months, it's important to be careful.
To avoid a miscarriage, meals must be eaten regularly.
What did you say?
Oh goodness, then it all fits.
In other words, Hee- chul did that to that girl.
Then she became that way, and...
You're right.
So Hee-chul made a mistake first.
And she said it was partially her fault.
But regardless, that rotten Hee-chul...
For you,
I lack readiness.
For you, I lack appearance.
For you,
I lack courage.
For you, I lack life.
I...
But I pray I can be only for you.
With this ring...
Our family is a bit peculiar.
Whenever something comes up, we all rush in like that,
and take the wind out of people.
Yeah, they seem a bit different.
But other families are very envious of us.
You know, city people aren't like that.
I guess you're right.
Yes?
I bet you're very uncomfortable.
I'm okay.
I'm sorry about today.
Since you came to see Hee- chul anyway,
feel at home and we'll talk when he comes back.
Now. Get some rest.
Yes, good night, Father.
Father?
A bastard like me shouldn't be alive, right?
Someone who plans to propose
loses the ring.
That's me.
Why me?
Anyway, do you think Jae- eun's mad?
Her face looked pissed off.
No way.
She left smiling.
Actually, it was fun.
Isn't it yours?
You got a call.
Where?
Who the hell's calling?
Hello?
Yes, sir.
Yes, hello.
One moment.
Hey, it's your dad.
It's me, Father.
Where are you now?
I'm still in Busan.
You have a girlfriend?
How did you know that?
When will you be back?
Well, I still have some things to do.
You're hiding out, aren't you?
- Sir? - I'll keep this short!
Come back tomorrow!
Yes, sir...
Hiding out?
What are you talking about?
We have to hold her here no matter what.
What if she goes and have an abortion?
Then we've committed a sin.
No, I won't see it.
Like he said, we must hold her here by all means.
Hurry outside.
Go home and get some rest.
You did great today.
Boy, I'm exhausted.
- What a day, huh? - She's pretty, huh?
Very pretty.
Why do I feel so worn out?
Over that?
It all worked out anyway.
He can marry Hee-chul off and have grandkids.
It certainly is a blessing.
I wish mother can hug a great grandchild soon.
- Want another kid? - Be quiet.
- Hurry and hop in. - Okay.
Long, long, time ago, there lived Sun Boy and Moon Girl.
But a tiger tried to eat them.
As Sun Boy and Moon Girl tried to run away,
a rope suddenly fell from the sky.
Sun Boy and Moon Girl
went up on the rope.
Damn it, this is a long story.
The tiger fell and died.
So what happened next?
- Sis! - Yes?
- It's Soo-mi. - Yes, one sec'.
What's wrong with your voice?
Are you in pain?
No!
Oh, what a hot night.
I thought you'd be here longer.
Going back for the ring?
No, my father told me to hurry and come back.
You're so sweet.
I'm not sweet. I'm stupid.
Anyway...
Have you thought about it?
About coming down to Yongkang.
You're talking about Yongkang again?
Your proposal didn't mean that we were going to apply
for Seoul Hospital together?
Of course, it does.
Just that there's nice weather, the scenery's nice, and...
It'll freshen up your head a bit.
I'll go.
Where?
Yongkang.
I'll go as soon as possible.
Hey, what's with you?
Since you answered so easily, it sounds like a lie.
The Mayor is so lucky.
Fate brought her here.
- He longed for a daughter-in-law. - Fate works in wonders.
You're right.
He likes her more because she's pretty.
Help yourself to plenty.
Thank you very much, Father.
Goodness, she said father.
Yes. "Thank you, Father."
Say your welcome to your daughter-in-law.
Are you all having a party?
You don't even know the whole story.
Then...
I heard you wanted to go to a spa.
Yes?
I just mentioned that you wanted a bath.
There's a famous spa here.
No, I didn't really mean it.
Usually, you're supposed to go with the in-laws.
That way you'll get close faster.
Yes, Hee-chul will take a while,
so let's go to the spa.
But I don't feel so well.
Yeah, it is far though.
It'll only take 15 minutes by car.
A new spa opened by the bus terminal.
Who goes to the spa with in-laws lately?
It was only during our time.
I'll go to the spa!
I want to take Grandmother and go with the family.
Wonderful!
Be careful!
Please watch your step!
You should've held her!
Stop overreacting.
Let's go in.
Does Hee-chul know what state your body's in?
No, not yet.
Why didn't you tell him?
That's how you seize his heart.
I see.
Where's the restroom?
Want me to go with you?
- I'll just go on my... - No, you must be extra careful
at this time.
Soo-mi! Go with her to the restroom.
Okay.
No, I'll just change here.
So why did they go to the spa all of a sudden?
Hee-chul.
Yes?
I'm very disappointed in you.
What?
I'm telling you this now that you've grown up.
Before I married your aunt, I had many women all over me.
But do you know why I married your aunt?
No.
She was carrying a baby like you are now, you fool.
Auntie is carrying my baby?
Welcome!
Attention customers!
Looking for Mister cHol Hee-chul's fiancee.
please come to the reception desk.
she's impersonating as my fiancee,
I tell you I'm on the air, damn it!
What's this noise?
I don't know.
Where did she go?
That woman...
Welcome!
You!
It's you from the train, right?
I've finally found you.
But what are you doing here?
It's all because of that darn ring.
- I don't have time to... - Ring?
How did you...
Wait, then you're the one
- who's swindling as my fiancee. - Swindling?
Don't screw with me, and just give me my bag.
Now I see that you stole my ring.
Your ring is with your father.
Just tell me where my...
Know what happened to me because of you?
Why'd you steal my ring?
Are you done talking?
No!
What did I do to you to deserve this?
Now I see that you hitting me was all an act.
I see you're a real pro! A pro!
I warned you, didn't?
Do you know you're screwing with me?
I screwed with you, so what?
Is screwing with you that important now?
After what happened to me,
- does it matter that I screw... - You rotten bastard!
Are you that proud of screwing a girl?
Is that what I taught you?
I swear I don't know her.
Father, I'm your son!
You've raised me for over twenty years.
Don't you trust me?
Then why is she doing this?
That's what I want to know, too.
Hey you!
Why the hell are you doing this?
How can she talk if you bully her like that?
Don't you know she's expecting?
This is driving me nuts.
Uncle.
Shouldn't you sense that something's wrong?
Well, you could have a point.
Well, but it does seem like there's some reason we don't know.
Everything is all my fault.
If I hadn't showed up,
I wouldn't have caused any trouble.
Yes.
Like Hee-chul said,
I've lied.
See? I told you so.
I told you so.
Frankly, I'm not the girl from Hee-chul's pharmaceutical school.
But my love for Hee-chul
was true.
Actually, I didn't go to college.
Even when I heard that Hee-chul was seeing his classmate,
I couldn't say anything, knowing I couldn't compete.
I prayed that he'd come back,
but he cut me off entirely.
Rotten bastard.
Uncle.
I'm very sorry.
I just wanted to return the ring,
and not mention these things.
Although it was brief,
you all were so good to me.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Sit back down.
- It's okay, Father. - Father?
Sit down.
Yes, sir.
I'm not saying this because I don't trust you.
I'm just asking this because I need to know for sure.
Can you tell us
whatever you know about Hee-chul?
Yeah! Great idea, Father!
How about this instead?
Ask for her lD number
and find out who she really is! What do you think, Uncle?
Are we interrogating a criminal?
Are we? Idiot!
Hee-chul, do I have to do this?
Be frank and say that you don't know.
How would you know when we only met once on the train?
Hee-chul always said this like a habit.
That he's a precious son.
When did I say that?
Since there was only one son for every generation,
Hee-chul's mother went through so much
trying to bear Hee-chul.
Hee-chul's mother did everything possible.
She even borrowed panties from a woman who bore many sons.
He said that his mother went through so much to bear him.
His grandmother was so good to his mother.
After she passed away bearing Soo-mi,
Hee-chul's grandmother was very misunderstood.
Poor girl! Poor girl...
Grandma, please stop crying.
This is impossible!
Father!
Aunt...
Soo-mi, you told her, didn't you?
This is fishy.
She has to talk about me!
Say something about me, okay?
Hee-chul was a good student.
To be frank, Hee- chul brags too much.
Sometimes I think
he's poking fun at me.
Uncle!
One time he bragged so much
he got into a fight.
His name was Young...something.
Young-deuk.
That's right. I don't need to see it to know.
He probably got hit after bragging about his grades.
That gave him the scar on his forehead.
That's why his grandmother went into a frenzy.
You still call her a fraud after that?
How did you know that?
You rotten bastard!
Punish me instead, Father!
Hee-chul keeps insisting on an abortion.
But I can't do it alone.
I'm sorry, Father!
What?
You rotten bastard!
I told you not to screw with me, didn't I?
How did you first meet Hee-chul?
Well...
Was it a sunny day?
Or a rainy day?
It did seem to have snowed.
Anyway, I was drinking tea.
I think Hee-chul was using the phone.
Oh my!
I don't care about a measly wallet.
Thanks to you, I've gained a precious encounter.
I run a drug store in Yongkang.
A pharmacist.
I'm CHOl Hee-chul.
How slimy.
That's really how you met him?
Think slimy was all?
I learned a lesson then.
Don't ever jump into someone else's business.
Love is so strange, considering what can be overcome.
Don't you think?
So what work do you do now?
I'm taking a rest.
Then what did you do before?
I was just...
I worked for a certain government organization.
So you've come on your own feet.
Now I don't have to climb in through the window.
Didn't you hear my father say
not to even step into the house?
Why is my father your father?
Who says so?
From what I know,
he's not your father after today.
It's just the two of us, so why don't we be frank.
What do you want?
My bag.
Your bag?
Because I'm in a certain bind, I can't either stay or go.
It's a real drag to be here,
you know? You remember my bag, right?
What would I know about your bag?
Did you leave it with me?
How could you say that?
I went to retrieve your ring, but I'm paying for it now.
So shouldn't you try to remember at least?
Oh yeah, the ring.
I don't know how precious that crappy bag was,
that ring was on that day?
- That crappy bag? - Yeah!
That crappy bag with the ragged handle.
All I need to do is buy you a new bag.
But how will you make up for what's happened to me?
So you don't know where it is?
You don't even know what was inside it.
That crappy bag?
Fine.
I'll wait here until you find it.
I don't have any place to go anyway.
How dare you?
Are you threatening me?
Oh boy, I can't wait to see what happens!
You have no sense at all!
You beast! How could you hit a woman?
You're a beast!
Die, you beast!
I'm hungry.
Stay for a long, long time, okay?
Yes, Grandma.
Hello!
- Going to work? - Yes.
Are you preparing well for the contest?
- Of course. - No matter what,
you have to win for the town, okay?
Yes, don't worry.
Have a nice day!
Hi, on your way somewhere?
I played a lot when I was young,
but I never abandoned my wife!
Not a single man did well after abandoning his wife!
For your father at least,
if you keep acting up...
That hurt!
Cover your stomach when you go to bed.
Be a nice boy.
Promise me.
Lightning will strike you down.
Right mom?
Make a woman cry, and lighting will strike you down.
You were right. She's really pretty.
I'm so envious.
The books are too old.
They have nothing to look at, so they just play.
Last time I estimated,
we need 4 million won to fill it up with books.
Why do I have to come into my own room like this?
Hey!
Wouldn't someone take this wrong?
Why the hell are you doing this to me?
Find my bag fast.
I don't have much time either.
- Why do you think that bag... - Mother!
Mother, where are you?
Mother, are you upstairs?
Mother!
