- Why do you think that bag... - Mother!
Mother, where are you?
Mother, are you upstairs?
Mother!
- Is this it? - You crazy?
- Your fingerprints will get on it. - Okay already.
Can't it take faster?
Hey, I got one week through someone I know.
Think fingerprints are that easy?
Don't tell this to my Uncle.
- Why? - I'm surrounded by the enemy.
I'd live with her if it were me.
Shut up!
Let's go have a drink to cool me down.
I have to get a facial.
Hey, Pepper Boy.
Do they judge clothes at the contest?
I don't think so.
What about bikinis?
Bye.
See you later, Pepper Boy!
Watch it.
Go get 'em, Pepper Boy!
Watch it!
Eating fruits here taste the best.
You said that eating food here was the best earlier.
That, too!
He doesn't eat much at home,
but he always eats a lot here.
Just leave him be.
Your cooking's awful, that's why.
Help yourself to plenty.
Wait a minute.
If we all eat here like this everyday,
everything in my house will run out.
What kind of joke is that?
How could you make such a dumb joke?
Falling stars! Make a wish!
I hope Hee-chul wises up soon.
Hello?
Hi, it's JOO Young-ju.
Now you remember my name.
Is my sister there?
Why are you shouting?
I'm on a trip like you wanted.
Who cares if I'm fine or not.
I'm serious.
I'm in Yongkang, Choongchung Province.
When did you ever believe me?
Who's the one who said not to come?
What?
I'm hanging up!
Can't you come when I call you?
I know I did.
I wanted you to come quickly, but...
Of course there's nothing wrong...
Okay Jae-eun, I'll call you.
Bye.
Oh yeah, Young-deuk got hurt.
He can't go to Pepper Boy.
Pepper Boy?
It's a local event.
Several towns come out for the Pepper Boy Contest.
But not much time left till the contest.
We opened a town meeting today,
and everyone's worried.
The contest will open, but there's no alternative.
Is there prize money?
Of course, up to 4 million won.
Seeing that I was called back,
my father is beginning to raise doubts about you.
Hee-chul.
You have to enter the Pepper Boy Contest.
Do I look that stupid to you?
I'm gonna rat on you to Big Auntie.
Big Auntie...
Did you tell him?
He doesn't believe me.
He needs more punishment.
- Father, how are you? - Enter the Pepper Boy contest.
Pardon?
Win no matter what.
Then I'll disappear on my own.
Why are you calling all the shots?
Who else will?
Wait a minute.
Physical health?
Run the right way!
Look straight!
Think my body will improve in just a few days?
But it's better than not doing it at all, right?
Win, Hee-chul Pepper Boy!
- Win! - Win!
Win!
This Pepper Boy or whatever.
I can't do it!
I'll tell that to your father.
Jeez, he smiles so weird.
Is appearance that important?
Practice 100 times from now on.
All the judges are women representing each town.
Smiling is a necessity.
On stage,
don't forget to look straight at the judges.
Think of me as a judge and glance for five seconds.
Begin.
Look at me straight!
Loosen up your face!
Smile!
Brighter!
Can't you do it right?
What do you think?
No matter what, a man must know
how to grab a woman's heart.
My daughter from Seoul sent me this.
These fruits are good for the skin.
My mom says that you'll win for sure.
Thank you.
Even though your face is a bit slimy,
being a pharmacist will get you points.
Right mom?
What's the use in knowing the secrets of winning?
He has no special talent.
I feel sorry that I even started this.
Hello, I'm Tom Cruise.
Different one.
Hi, I'm Brad Pitt.
I give up.
What in the world is it
that you can do?
How was it?
Very slimy.
Then what? Something different?
Just do it.
Really?
There's nothing else anyway.
This is the best spot in our town.
Very nice, huh?
This is happiness.
Living in a place like this
with a family like yours.
You have to be thankful.
That's what Jae-eun needs to say.
Who? Your girlfriend?
If she doesn't, oh well.
Like someone said,
you can always return to this place.
Even if you cheat others, you can't cheat yourself.
I don't know your predicament,
but tell her you'll do whatever she wants and marry her.
Then try talking to her again.
Lying would be easy, right?
You think lying is easy?
Lying is an intense mind game.
The front and end of your story must match.
You need a good memory and fast coordination.
And painfully creative.
Sounds like a thesis to me.
Think lying is nothing?
Your lying doesn't work on me anymore.
When normal people lie, it shows.
But when you tell the truth, it shows.
Your face gets red.
Wanna try me?
Go for it.
- How much? - 10,000 won.
Cheapskate.
Alright, starting now tell me whether I'm lying or not.
Shoot.
Hey, I see the symptoms.
Hurry up.
What shall I do?
I...
I've started to like you.
That's strange.
Your face got red.
I'm a ninth degree liar.
You'll never match up to me.
And Hee-chul, you fit here.
You resemble this place.
When your girlfriend comes, she'll know.
I'm back.
Sis is here.
Right.
No, your sister and your friend are here.
Young-ju!
Why are you so hard to reach?
Your sister was so worried about you.
You don't know how shocked I was when I heard that you died.
Who said that?
- The grandmother. - You're too late!
- The grandmother died three... - Mom, please sit down.
I heard from your in-laws.
You had it hard, huh?
I didn't know you'd be here.
I looked everywhere for you.
Hey, my acting has gotten a lot better, huh?
Lighten up. This is an old reunion.
How'd you get out?
Bail!
You know our acting is bad.
We used money to get out.
How'd you know I was here?
I asked a friend in Busan.
- Why? - What do you mean "why"?
Think you'd stay put?
You lay down the groundwork, and we come share the pie.
My pie, too.
Why would Young-ju be here?
Because there's more potential.
One of the uncles is a cop.
Why? Don't want to?
Planning to rat on us?
Then I guess
we'd have to tell them we were cellmates.
What?
Have some fruit.
Okay.
What if I said let's all split?
Say something that's more like you.
Just leave without all that money out there?
She's right.
Hey, we're not being too greedy.
You take half.
Hwa-sook and I will take the rest.
What do you say?
Fine, let's do it together.
Certainly.
Since I've laid out the plan,
you can do what I say, right?
But of course.
D- day is the Pepper Festival.
Kill the cigarettes!
I really worship you.
I've seen it all,
but your fraud seem like the truth.
The truth.
These are sun peppers, right?
Yes, ma'am.
You can make crushed red peppers. They're delicious.
They're nice and ripe.
So all that money is the Mayor's?
No.
The Mayor is handling all that money.
There's so much money, huh?
- And it's all cash. - You're right.
Yes, Next program
From Yongyee Town, Pepper Boy 5, SUNG Sang-bae.
Hello!
Healthy peppers!
Clean peppers!
From Yongyee Town, I'm Pepper Boy 5, SUNG Sang-bae.
Go Sung-bae!
Next is contestant number seven.
From Yongkang, CHOI Hee-chul!
I'm CHOI...
No, I mean, from Yongkang, I'm CHOI...
CHOI... CHOI Hee-chul.
That was the last contestant.
We've just been introduced to all the contestants
of the Eighth Eumsung
Pepper Boy Contest.
What do you think, everyone?
They all look handsome and manly, yes?
Until the contest is over...
- Why are you so late? - I'm sorry!
What took you so long?
Hurry and get ready.
Are you on vibration mode?
CHOI, CHOI, CHOI, CHOI Hee-chul.
It's not my fault if I don't win.
I told you I didn't want to do it.
You try going out on stage.
Yongkang's three-year wish to win is all over now.
It's not my wish.
I should've jumped ship already.
Then I wouldn't have gone through this nightmare.
That's such a hopeful thing to say for the town.
We can't use this.
That woman
Who nurses his pain
That woman who cries with her head down
Isn't that Young-ju?
- Is it Young-ju? - It's her. It's her.
A woman, woman, woman
You don't know how I feel
My true heart
Your love for me
You don't know How much I need it
Where did our costumes go?
I swear I hung it here.
That woman
Who soothes his loneliness
That woman who's grown tired in time
What's weak in this world is A woman, woman, woman
You don't know how I feel
My true heart
My love for you
You don't know How precious it is
Sometimes
I can't understand
What you're feeling inside
But still
You're a precious
Man, man, man for me
That woman who dreams of happiness
That woman who waits for love
That woman, woman, woman
Hold on!
This is a disqualification!
This is wrong!
He has to do it by himself!
Bringing a chorus is cheating! There's nothing in the rules
that say we can't do that.
Who are you to argue with me?
This all because of you!
You should've stayed out of it!
Who the hell are you to cause this outrage?
Don't yell like that at our daughter-in-law!
Didn't she say that it wasn't in the rules?
That's right!
Those women planned all this!
Please, let's not spoil this great occasion.
Please calm down everyone.
Excuse me.
First, I'd like to apologize for arguing with that gentleman.
Since I've started all this, why don't I make a proposal.
To be a true Pepper Boy,
isn't it important
as to how much he loves peppers?
So what I would like to say is...
A true love for peppers.
How about a pepper-eating contest?
For our two highest-scoring finalists,
this is their last hurdle.
As you all know already,
these peppers are known to be very hot.
Will that be okay?
A hot, hot pepper-eating match!
Whoever eats the most peppers
in a minute wins.
Are our two finalists ready?
Begin!
Truly amazing!
They should be really hot!
I forfeit.
Pepper boy.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this year's new Pepper Boy
is CHOI Hee-chul from Yongkang Town!
Let's congratulate him with a big round of applause!
Yongkang's Wonderful Pepper, CHOI Hee-chul
Hee-chul!
He's my nephew!
Please have some.
Really?
Okay. Bye!
Guess what?
After buying all the books, there's 100,000 won left.
Sign up for fashion classes.
Think I could?
But Hee-chul had a fit for not seeing any of the money.
You know your brother's my prey.
Thanks, sis.
- Soo-mi! - Coming!
I'll tell her you're sleeping, so don't come out.
You're not leaving today, are you?
I put a letter I wrote
to your father in your desk drawer.
I've explained everything in the letter.
Why change all of a sudden?
You're really leaving today?
Honestly, I did regret making a bad judgment,
but I think it was good to come here and return the ring.
Your family would've been so upset
if they had lost it.
But I still haven't found your bag.
But I leave with a lot.
You've gone through a lot.
I'm sorry.
Also, you were great today.
Hee-chul!
Sis, I see you're also here.
Carry it right!
Be careful.
Jae-eun.
Hee-chul!
My bag!
Oh yeah, you left this bag in the cafe.
Hyung-suk told me to bring it here on my way.
Hey, let's get ready to leave.
Jae-eun.
It's hectic here, isn't it?
Let's go somewhere else and talk.
That woman who cries with her head down
In this world...
Are you surprised?
Yeah, a little.
This place really fits you well.
It's like a dream.
A dreamy place.
I know that a part of you
still wants to stay here.
Of course, I also know how you feel about me.
But what's certain
is that I don't belong here.
Jae-eun, you see...
I came here to tell you this. And it was time to do it.
Whatever your choice is, I'll be okay.
Now, it's your turn. I hope you make a wise decision.
But I won't wait long.
Show me your true feelings.
I just hope that you'll be true to yourself.
Okay.
Honestly...
I should've said thank you.
What?
Mayor, I need the key to the safe to settle the account.
But there's no money in the safe.
What?
My daughter-in-law insisted that I be careful,
so I deposited it all into the bank.
I see.
Anyway, have you seen my daughter-in-law?
Hey, give it here.
You can't open it without the key.
Let me just touch it.
- How'd you get this? - - It hurts!
I stole it, of course. Hey, I said it hurts!
Stop the car!
- Give it back now! - This isn't like you!
What's with you lately?
We can also sell this and split the money!
Fine, you can have my share in the safe, so give it.
What? What's with you now?
What are you trying to pull?
- Hey, just give it to her. - But this is a diamond ring!
Now, you idiot.
I said you can have the money!
You better not change your mind.
Hey!
I really can't figure you out.
Let's not meet again.
Leaving?
I'm sorry I can't be here any longer.
Stay healthy, Grandma.
You always say
that everyone has died already.
But live a long, long time.
Sis!
I thought you had left!
Why do you have to leave?
Hee-chul's the one who has to leave!
I'll show him!
- No, Father. - You stay put!
Soo-mi, go find Hee-chul.
I'm gonna show him a thing or two!
How dare he bring another girl here.
There you are!
Miss JOO Young-ju, correct?
Mayor, has anything been
stolen or any harm...
Young-deuk!
Just hurry and go.
Go where, you bastard?
Father,
later I'll tell...
Sir, calm down!
That woman isn't what you...
Stop!
I have something to say.
I should've told you all sooner.
To be honest,
I have no relation with Hee-chul.
Like Hee-chul said,
I met him for the first time on a train.
I saw a pickpocket take his ring.
And I stole it back from him.
Because...
Because I'm currently on parole,
I thought you'd mistake me as the thief.
On parole?
So you were in prison?
Yes, Father.
I'm sorry.
Don't say anymore and just go.
Since I left my bag on the train,
if I could reach Hee-chul,
I thought I could retrieve it, so I came here.
But when I met Hee-chul's Uncle in the drug store,
I thought I wouldn't be able
to go to my sister's wedding.
I'm very sorry.
You all treated me so well.
I was scared to see you all disappointed.
I was too ashamed to even tell you
how thankful I am.
But...
you were all so good to me.
Thank you very much.
I'm very sorry.
Let me be.
Please come with me.
If no harm has been done, then isn't it okay?
Sis!
Why are you being so stubborn?
If she hasn't come by now, she won't.
Something must've came up, so she won't come.
It's almost time. Let's change, okay?
Wait a minute!
There's still time.
Stop crying!
You'll ruin your make-up,
Why are you so stubborn?
Aren't you getting married?
She's dead meat if she shows up.
Are you stupid? Just wear whatever.
You must be rich to rent all those dresses.
Who made me this way, dummy?
It would be nice
if my only sister had no temper.
What do you mean by that?
I'm alright, dummy.
Yeah, I heard that Jae-eun got in.
You know she's stronger than me.
Yeah, I'm feeling better now, eating well, and doing okay,
so don't worry.
Take care.
I see you've fixed mom's chair.
Been a few days.
I went to the storeroom, and it was fixed already.
Everyone had forgotten about it.
She's got a gift for doing woodwork.
Young-ju fixed it and left.
Didn't I say you'd be a bad boy
if you leave leftovers?
New order.
Shanghai pasta.
Miss, I'd like some water.
Coming right up!
- Here's your order. - Yummy.
Two waters for table seven.
- Table seven? - Please hurry.
- Can I have some coffee? - Sure thing!
Mom, a falling star!
You're not going to clear things up?
You have to clear up everything.
Is there still some confusion left?
You know what my family thinks of me thanks to you?
We were lovers for a long time,
but you became a political prisoner.
And I'm a disgrace for leaving you for another girl.
Have you learned how to lie?
It's not a lie.
Hee-chul, it's me, Young-ju.
I can see your lies.
Wanna bet?
10,000 won?
Cheapskate.
It's a deal.
Look carefully.
See if it's a lie or not.
What shall I do?
You see...
I like you, Young-ju.
To say this to you,
I gave it a lot of thought,
and I was going to give up.
But I was only cheating myself.
The Young-ju that I saw,
and me wanting to be true to myself
is why I said that.
It's the truth.
I like you, Young-ju.
Give me 10,000 won.
Don't you know yet?
- You lost. - How do you know that?
Give me 10,000 won.
Fine.
But instead,
will you come down to Yongkang?
It's a very nice place that you'll like very much.
Also...
There are many good people
who miss you there.
Hee-chul, your wallet.
Oh no! Hey mister! Oh no!
Hee-chul, your wallet!
- We have to catch him. - Let him have it.
I don't want
a measly wallet
to interfere with this moment.
Hi, we're Hee-chul's friends!
From what we heard, you really are pretty!
You're so pretty!
We froze for two hours! Buy us drinks!
I heard from Soo-mi.
So is this
how we start things off?
Buy us drinks!
