Are you looking for me?
What's up father? You need anything?
I'm sorry to intrude you busy people.
Who arranged today's meeting and did all the work?
This is big brother's house, father. Of course his wife did everything.
Who? Who?
Big brother and his wife. They're right here, you see?
Thanks for the trouble sir.
She must be your wife.
The food was great.
Thanks for your hospitality. Let's go, son. After you.
Hey, what's up so late at night?
Brother in Nonsan came.
Mom said brother would live if you came.
Even though she never said that again after he died,
just can't erase that.
I thought about that so many times when mother was near to death.
'I should bring father to save my mother.'
I know... I thought a lot about you and your mother today.
I can cook for myself...
I can live off the small land I have...
And there's no one blaming me for being drunk and beating up the dog.
But what good is it without mother?
Brother, it's because father is not himself. I will tell you later.
Look at me.
Even though you're out of your mind, try to listen to me.
Come with me just one time.
You're gonna regret it when your time comes.
She can't even rest in peace cuz she's got grudges.
So, let's go to mother's grave and just say one word. Sorry.
Let me be a good son for once.
Bother, calm down. Calm down.
None of your business!
Brother, what is wrong? Brother.
Be quiet.
Women's cry is bad luck.
You think this will make any difference?
Fine. Live like this till you die.
Heaven will punish you for it. And you deserve it.
I have no father from now on. Well, that's how I've lived anyways.
Brother!
Brother, brother!
Did he leave?
What a scumbag. He's such a crook!
Please be quiet!
I'm alright, princess. I'm ok.
So you're ok, that's it? What are you?
Why are you making everyone's life so difficult?
Stop it. You don't have to make this worse.
He's already a confused man.
Father, please go in. Go ahead.
Is is true that brothers and sisters from the first wife once barged in
when Byung-guk's mother was young?
Oh that time... that's when I was away on business.
Those stupid kids stormed the house.
- I found that out much later on... - Good night, father.
And they were scared to death.
Look at me. Even though you're out of your mind try to listen to me.
What's this?
Come with me once. You're gonna regret it...
Min-kyung, Min-kyung.
Is this fun for you?
Is it funny and fascinating that my family's screwed up?
Fine, make a movie out of it.
Make it and show the world how funny my family is.
Hey, don't say that.
Right, I grew up in such a family. So I wanted to be treated normal.
I know I'm hopeless. You don't know that, do you?
Hey, how can I not know that?
But if you keep yelling at people around you, they'll feel suffocated.
Then you should behave as a normal person should do!
What have I not done?
Are you that great of a person to judge others all the time?
Oh yeah? Then what the hell are you, huh?
Kim Sang-hoon, why don't you answer me? What the hell are you?
Shit, if you really wanna say things like that why don't you do it to your brothers?
Why do I have to get beat up by your brother and hear from you that I'm not good enough?
Is this my fault? It's all your dad's fault!
Why are you bringing up my dad here? Why my father, you asshole!
You're totally hopeless. Don't you know how pathetic you are?
You always say you're writing a script. But what exactly are you doing?
Right, I'm incompetent and lazy. So what should I do?
Should I quit everything, go out and get a job?
Are you crazy?
Why should you worry about shit like that? Just get out.
Go and do your director thing all your life!
What? What did you just say?
You didn't hear me?
Get out. Get out, write your scenario and live your life doing the director thing.
Get out of my house right now!
Wow, that's a great idea. That's exactly what my dream is.
Finally my dream comes true.
Great!
Whether you wander around or beg here and there, do as you like!
Fine, let's go on our separate ways now.
Right, only one life, why live together fighting all the time?
Let's stop harassing each other and live separate lives.
Good, good, I like that.
Where's my clothes? You paid for these, didn't you?
I don't need them. None at all.
Good, try to knock yourself out.
Oh hey, the fortuneteller said you can't do shit for life.
Whoa, your place is really small. How big is it?
Hey, what have you done tonight?
Watch what you're saying, dumb ass.
This is the historical moment for a new beginning.
Hey, you said the small room was empty, right?
But there's a computer and it's small
That's perfect. I'll borrow your computer too.
I have to finish my scenario anyways. Drink.
Don't worry. I'm not gonna be here long.
When this movie comes through I'm gonna leave even if you ask me to stay.
Really? You got a deal with a production company?
That's not the order, stupid.
First, finish the book, write the scenario then look for a production house.
How long has it been since I last smoked lying down in a room...
Ah... nice...
Good... good.
Please forgive him just once, Mom. Dad must know his fault by now.
If you're too embarrassed I'll tell him myself.
Please, Mom, forgive him.
Byung-guk, I will take care of, ok?
- Thank you, Good bye. - Yes...
What's this? It must be your clothes and books.
Wow look at this.
She even sent the projector. She must have sent everything of yours.
Why are you taking them out?
Wow, your wife is quite vicious. This is extreme.
Hey bro, just live with me. I will be nice to you.
Min-kyung... Song Min-kyung...
I just...
Teacher.
I don't think I enjoy other people watching me.
Everything goes wrong whenever I'm on stage. I feel like crying, throwing up.
And sometime it seems like people are waiting for me make a mistake.
That's why you just cut your hair? Have you talked to your parents?
No, I didn't want to.
They never treated me like a daughter.
And I win the competition and they're totally going overboard as if they've found a lost daughter.
They place the trophy in the living room and brag about it to everyone.
I can't stand that.
You aren't supposed to talk about your parents like that.
They do really love you deeply.
How can it be love when they show their affection only when I do something well?
I think love is this.
There are only two of you left when the world comes to an end
There's nothing to eat,
but only an apple.
You can't share it. One must eat it alone.
Giving the apple to your partner in such case, that's love.
Is that so?
It's not that you're good at something, or you're pretty.
You give love unconditionally. That's real love.
Not because the person's good...
We hope the person to be good because we love that person.
I want to become a respectable person without being pretty.
Ji-yeoun, you look pretty with that hair.
I'm so dead when I get home.
Teacher, you know what?
When you scream you do look like a monster.
Do I really yell that much?
Yes.
Teacher, can't you just adopt me?
Director Kim!
- Hello - Hey, Soo-jeong.
Hey, nice to see you.
We have to shoot soon. I was helping out.
- I'll see you later. - Cool, cool.
- Director's over there. - Here.
- Thank you. - No problem. Work hard.
You shouldn't be there. Please move. Get away.
Sang-hoon.
Hey, director Jang.
- When did you get here? - Just now.
- You look good. - You got tanned.
- It's cuz it's never ending. - Director!
- Aren't you busy? - Yeah, preparing stuff.
We're gonna have late night snack soon.
Our spicy rice cake tastes so good. You always liked it.
- Just wait a bit. - Ok.
We got lots to do today. Let's get going.
'I've walked through half of my life But I'm lost in a dark forest.'
It's a phrase from a Russian poem.
You must have had a difficult time.
Take it slow... You gonna hurt your body.
Why am I not attractive? To men...
What are you talking about?
You know there are girls with pretty face but no charm.
Maybe I'm not even pretty.
Nonsense.
Tell me clearly whether I'm pretty or not.
You're pretty. You're really pretty, Se-ran.
Then why?
Why what?
Why nobody wants me? You know girls.
If men don't say that they don't know.
I can tell you for sure that you're very attractive.
Too attractive...
Then are you going to take me home?
Of course, I am.
Okay.
Did you take care of the bill?
I'm going to.
Who is it? Who's talking shit behind my back?
There's no one. Now, let's go.
We're here, we're here.
Assholes always talk behind my back. What's wrong with living alone?
I can't even drink cuz I live alone?
- You can, you can. - Can, right?
Of course you can. Shh... Others are sleeping, Be quiet.
We're here. Let's go in.
Why?
You lied earlier that I was pretty, right?
What are you talking about? I said it for real.
For real? My ass! You just another stinky married man...
What's up, father? Are you looking for something?
It's ok. I'm just thirsty.
Nice and cool.
Princess.
Yes, father?
I give up. You can marry that guy.
What?
I've observed him and he's decent person. A very decent young man.
You happy now?
Hey, that mother fucker...
You, stop right there, asshole!
That cheap ass mother fucker.
My mobile phone...
Man... so dumb.
Sir, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
What the hell.
I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.
Forgive you?
- I only got this. - What's this?
I got no money right now. So please take this.
What the fuck...
- It's nice and cold... - You!
What the fuck are you? What on earth do you do?
I don't do anything.
Min-kyung, I started filming...
Really?
Are you really working on your graduation piece?
Of course.
What's wrong with your voice? Did you catch a cold?
No, I think it's because of a drastic change in temperatures.
It's tough, isn't it. Wait just a little while.
I'll be graduating when I'm done. Then I'll be back right away.
I'm ok.
Don't worry about me and make a good movie.
Ok, I'll do well. You know me, right?
Of course, I trust you more than anything.
Mom...
Mom.
Father.
Father!
Byung-guk, grandpa's not around.
Didn't he say anything yesterday? Byung-guk!
What's wrong? Byung-guk, are you sick?
Wake up, Byung-guk. Byung-guk, Byung-guk.
Where on earth is my father? Ms lm?
No, I haven't heard from the police yet. I've been calling them though...
Byung-guk? Still getting a checkup. He can't open his eyes nor talk.
I don't know what's going on. What am I supposed to do? Huh?
Please take care of the school for the night. Ok...
Hello? Yes, this is he.
Mr. Song Won-jo?
Ah, yes, he's my father-in-law.
What?
We're taking care of you order. Please wait.
Come on, come on, come on.
We're counting the money at the moment. Please wait.
Please take the cash. Thank you for your service.
Answer the damn phone.
Why isn't she picking it up...
- Hello. - Is that you?
I've found your father. Don't worry, I found him.
We're in Nonsan.
Byung-guk is sick.
He... he got fever all of a sudden and he can't talk...
I had to take him for a medical check up by myself...
What? Byung-guk's ill? What's wrong?
He's better now but father disappeared and...
I was so...
Min-kyung, Min-kyung, calm down and don't worry about anything.
We'll come home either today or tomorrow. I'm taking him home so don't worry.
Alright?
Where are you going, father?
They should lock an innocent person in...
Come on father, you should've bought tickets before you got on the train.
Mother.
I've brought father here.
I'm sorry. Rest in peace now.
When Min-kyung was young
she danced well.
- You saw that? - Sure.
I think when she was five,
I went to a theatre to look for father.
He really dearly loved her.
I see.
The thing is when the light was off
what is it... she peed on the stage.
Huh? She peed?
She said she had to cuz she didn't want to miss her turn.
So what could we do?
A teacher came and took her out she started crying cuz she didn't want to.
It was chaotic.
- Come on, drink. - Ok.
I don't know what's going on
but she's got no burden on her mind since she met you.
That's what I think.
Hey, film director... drink up.
Ok.
That's when everyone was going to Manchuria.
What would people use to keep them warm at night?
That was a big problem.
I had a big ambition so I left Seoul to go to Manchuria.
Father, so how old were you when you sold blankets in Manchuria?
You must have been only 10...
That's it for today...
Have some rest.
- Hey, son. - Yes.
I don't want to scare you but...
these days my mind is not clear.
It seem like I'm losing it.
- Oh really? - Yes.
So I want to tell you...
My daughter Min-kyung...
What is she gonna become when I leave this world?
She's a nice girl.
Do me a favor. Please raise her well.
Yes sir.
Father.
Father, father...
Father.
Good bye. Have a good life.
Good bye, my beloved hometown.
Everyone living in this small village,
I'm leaving now to the city...
Dad.
Yes it's me, my princess. How have you been?
Why are you alone? Where have you left Sang-hoon?
Why, isn't he home?
Dad, you feel better?
You must feel lighter...
I can't piggyback Byung-guk no more. He's gotten too big.
And I'm scared that it feel like I grow old
every time I scold Sang-hoon.
He must feel the same way right, father?
Lie down.
Father's home. He's asleep.
Is he alright?
Yeah.
What about Byung-guk? Sleeping?
Are you ok?
Why are you crying?
Yeah, I think I'm worthless.
Dad, what does worthless mean?
Byung-guk. You not sick any more?
Did you just say something?
Dad, is that really you?
Of course, it's me!
I thought you went to a different mother.
Hey, I get in trouble
Mom has put a detector device on my body.
You're watching too many movies. Gotta work too, sometime.
Byung-guk, let's go over there. Grandpa's sleeping. We have to stay quite.
So in the end, I came back home
Even after much thought, it seems that nothing has really been solved.
But isn't family a group of people living together with all different problems?
Family is family because members love each other and they come together.
Wife, son, and father-in-law.
Let go, let go of me.
Let's go in.
Why doesn't Byung-guk wanna go home but go somewhere else?
He's become really strange.
Dad, he's not Byung-guk. He's someone else's son.
Sorry, kid. It's because he's a grandfather.
Father has become much weaker since the Nonsan trip.
Is it because he's put down the last burden of life?
Thankfully, he's doing fine without causing any big trouble.
I've completed my new scenario.
It's a story about my father-in-law and my wife who I've idly watched for years.
My life won't change much although
I write a script and become a film director.
It's only the beginning.
What's this?
Scenario. I finished it. Read it.
Already done?
What about the title?
It's hard to give it a name than to write the story.
You wanna try?
Anyhow, I like my scenario.
I really like it because it's about people's lives.
Sometimes you want to hide it but when you look closely,
it gives you warmth and touches your heart.
Wouldn't my wife also be able to ease her mind,
and be happy with such a story?
One more time!
Cut! Okay!
