THE PICTURES WITH A VIEW production
A DAY IN 1987
Seems like just yesterday I received your first pen-pal letter.
I can't believe you're being discharged already.
- Allegiance! - See you all!
Allegiance!
MEET THE lN-LAWS
GWANGJU, JEOLLA-DO, 1989
What are you doing, drink up!
Wah? All the Miss Gwangjus must be here.
We ought to buy them drinks.
Luh! Get your hands off.
Let's move your butts to our table.
Yeah! We got liquor, right!
We'll mix em up good to treat you gals.
Wah? Mix the drinks?
Screw you!.
Damn woodpecker lookalike pecking away!
Just come to our table, eh?
Darn fool! Wanna die, eh?
Why you little bitch!
I'm the manager here.
Leave quietly, eh?
That's your problem.
I'm not done with these gals, eh!
Darn stompin' loud mouthed soldiers!
I'll break you!
Excuse me?
- You from the marines? - Hey.
- Who's asking? - What class?
Class 575!
I was in 505.
Allegiance!
The hell you acting up and drinking in your uniforms!
I feel a little you know... Want me to go whatchamacallit on you?
Sir! No, sir!
- Allegiance! - Get.
Do your job right!
Darn, boy.
It's been almost 3 years since we exchanged letters, eh?
My chest's about to burst...
not being able to meet, eh?
Dearest Da-hong...
I miss you.
Take care till we meet in Seoul next week, eh?
Darn, my hair's itchy,... the more I wash.
What was that? You ain't a marine, eh?
You know, I'm clever, eh?
Writing letters again?
The world's full of gals. Why the hard dating, eh?
Still like her?
It's like Sophie Marceau jumped off my poster, eh?
Sophie or sofa a Gyeongsang-do gal's, you know?
Wah!
You can't even tell the Gyeongsang-do gal
you draw cartoons.
And she's a pianist, eh?
But your family runs a night club.
That's like steak and bean paste.
It don't mix. Way too unbalanced, eh?
Bet she won't like you drawing darn cartoons.
Da-hong ain't like that!
Love conquers all, eh?
Darn, boy!
Sleep, already!
It's 6 p.m., fool!
You're even prettier than your picture.
Golly. Your picture was even better.
Right.
Anything curious about me?
Nope.
How about having the wedding
at your father's wedding hall?
But we just met, mister.
I already thought of everything.
What in the world!
The hell, you folks doing!
You rotten scum!
My friend drank poison and is in the hospital!
And you're chatting away here?
What the hell?
How dare you go around meeting other girls!
Look missy!
What's your relationship with him!
Nothing!
Get your scrawny ass out of here.
- Yes, of course! - Da-hong! Da-hong!
Sit your sorry ass down!
The hell you folks doing!
I don't know you! Who the hell are you?
Golly! Aren't you KlM Sung-taek?
Damn! The hell is KlM Sung-taek!
Golly! It's not him?
Sorry, we must have the wrong man.
- So sorry. - Sorry, sir.
Damn it!
Da-hong!
Pour me a drink, girlfriend.
I wanna get drunk.
How many times did we do that on your blind dates?
Word will be out all over Busan at this rate!
What's with her?
I made up my mind.
About what?
I'll introduce him to my family.
You drunk already?
Your pappy will flip!
What are you doing!
He did this cuz he don't like you sleeping over at a friend's house!
If he knows you're dating a Jeolla-do man, he'll kill you!
Stop it. I ain't backing down this time.
I'll just go hide and live in Jeolla-do if I have to!
So no one can find me.
They'll get you.
Just watch me.
Must be darn tired. Busy these days, eh?
I'm a big fan of PARK Nam-jung.
Thank you. It's all thanks to the fans.
Ow! My face!
What the hell?
Careful, eh? He's one in a million.
No matter how much Busan guys promised,
we'll pay double. Okay? Let's go.
Ah, sure. Thank you, sir.
Just get in your car then?
* Under the starry night
* The streetlights shine
* But I am lost in thought
* Silently walking my way
* A lonely quiet night
* I want to go somewhere
* Like a cloud floating away
* My footsteps go on and on
* Why do I miss you so?
* Why can't you see me?
* You know I love you
* We are in love
PARK Nam-jung! PARK Nam-jung!
- Enjoying the show? - Yes!
I'm so happy coming to Gyeongsang-do Busan!
Gyeongsang-do is definitely better than Jeolla-do.
What? He thinks this is Busan?
What? Why are you all so quiet?
Busan Seagulls? Where are the Busan fans?
That crazy idiot!
I'm here, you all!
Oh no...
That ignorant fool!
What the! It's me! PARK Nam-jung!
The fool asked for it.
I'm so sorry, sir.
Terribly sorry!
I'm sorry. I deserve to get beaten.
- Drive em to the bus terminal. - Yes, sir.
- It's okay, really. - Come with me.
Hyun-jun's here!
You!
What are you doin' out all day!
Did somethin' happen?
Where's PARK Nam-jung goin'?
Darn...
My son's no use...
I want to retire, but there's no one to trust.
Sorry, sir.
Then smarten up, fool!
Yes, boss.
FROM BUSAN
FROM BUSAN TO SEOUL
Ah...Over here.
Here.
You always give me flowers.
Golly, it smells sooo...
It smells pretty and sweet.
Not as pretty and sweet as you.
Please.
Da-hong?
You're so beautiful, eh?
Golly! Oh, please...
Wait! Da-hong?
Ready? One, two, three!
- There. - Wait, please!
Can you take one with mine?
- Sure. - Thank you.
We have the same camera!
We do, eh?
We must be destined.
Ready? One, two, three!
Friends say they have the best pork cutlets in Seoul here.
Really? Then let's get that.
Ready to order?
- Two pork cutlets, please. - Okay.
Would you like rice or bread with your meal?
- How's rice? - Yes, rice is better.
We'll have rice.
Okay. What soup would you like?
Well, Campbell's soup, of course.
We'll take that, eh?
Ah...Hyun-jun...
Kidding. It's a joke.
He's joking.
& 2 glasses of gin tonic please, eh?
- Please, eh? - Ah, please.
Okay, gin tonic...
Campbell's soup.
Enjoy your meal.
This song's from Hyun-jun of pretty Gwangju
to his love, Da-hong.
'When Time Goes By' by CHOl Ho-seop!
Golly, Hyun-jun.
It's me first time to send in a request, eh?
It's my favorite.
Fav...Favorite?
Oh, your favorite song.
I thought you only listened to classical music, eh?
This song's sad, and kinda like our story.
What do you mean?
I was set up on a blind date again.
Pappy says I got to marry within the year.
What? Why?
Says girls depreciate in worth after 26.
That's crazy.
A girl ain't no Christmas tree,
you chuck out after the season.
Fine. I'm going to meet em.
Tell your parents beforehand.
- Really? - Yeah, really!
- Golly! - Why?
What's wrong?
NO MORE BUSES TODAY
Oh no. I'm so dead.
Mama?
Ah... where's pappy?
Night fishing?
But mama...
The thing is...
I missed the last bus. I'll sleep over at Mi-ja's.
No. Don't worry.
Yes, mama!
Ah, thank you.
Anytime.
Ah...
- Hyun-jun? - Right.
- Can we... - Yes?
Just hold hands and sleep?
Ah...of course.
Not much else to hold.
- Da-hong? - Yes?
I... I think...
I'm really in love with you.
Me, too.
- But. - What?
Pappy will never approve.
Cuz I'm not from the same hometown?
Pappy says anyone's okay
as long as they're not from Jeolla-do.
Why, for Christ's sake?
It's like a sickness he has.
A terrible illness.
Da-hong?
The important thing is how you feel.
Da-hong, will you marry...
Yes!
But...
Don't worry about anything.
Just come to me. You trust me, eh?
There, there. It'll be okay.
Trust me and come to me, then...
- Honey... - Yes, Da-hong?
Still, we're only holding hands, right?
How many times do I have to say it?
There's not much else to hold.
Hand. Good.
Let's sleep.
Take good care.
- Honey? - Hmm?
Can you call me at night?
I wanna hear your voice before I sleep.
Ah...What time?
I'll pick up if you call exactly at 10 p.m.
Gotcha. I'll call at 10 p.m.
Promise?
Sure!
Wah!
You're bringing home a Gyeongsang-do gal?
Yes.
You think your old man's worth shit?
Think marriage is a joke?
No, I'm serious!
I told you I'm gonna marry the gal I love.
Know what Gyeongsang-do gals are like?
They're curt like...
What? What the hell?'
And say crap like that!
If you meet her, you'll like her.
First, I'll go there and meet her family.
Wait a few days.
Wah the... That fool!
- Golly! - The hell?
You scared me.
Pappy? Why are you sleepin' here?
Think I hate somethin' bad.
I had non-stop diarrhea. Must've fallen asleep here.
Why are you down here?
Ah...
I...came for a cup of water.
Now, I can't sleep.
I'll just watch TV.
Go watch it with Mama, she'll be bored.
Really?
Okay. You get some sleep, too.
Hello?
Why call? Of course I'll be back.
Think I lost my way in the house?
Hang up. I'll be right there.
Darn woman wasting money and calling in the house.
That was close.
Hello?
Waiting itself is a blessing.
Though my heart aches...
I smile with my head held high
in the blowing wind.
Thinking of my love somewhere out there.
Gone are the days of wander.
if l was born destined...
to meet my love, now I long to be with thee.
Honey... That's so sweet.
Golly, geez.
We had no idea that the author was a man.
I'm sorry.
Please, don't be.
We asked you to come to talk about your new series.
Excuse me?
MY LOVE, JlN DA-HONG BY HYUN-Jl
This.
The character is interesting and the response is good.
Thank you.
We should be thanking you.
Anyway, we got calls asking Hyun-ji...
I mean, Hyun-jun, for interviews.
I'd like to remain anonymous
as Hyun-ji for now.
It's easier to work that way.
- I understand. - Thanks.
CELEBRATlNG THE SEOUL OLYMPlCS
I told my family about us today.
Pappy wants to meet you and talk.
My mama's birthday's this Saturday.
The mood will be good then.
You have to get Pappy to like you.
Practice speaking Seoul talk.
Fighting against Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do hostility for love.
I respect your courage.
So you'll help me, eh?
Yes!
I'll turn you into a Seoul man!
Hello? My name is CHO Hyun-jun.
I'm from Seoul.
- Again. - Okay.
Hello? My name is CHO Hyun-jun.
I'm from Seoul.
No! No! No!
Darn spanking annoying, eh!
Can't you say it right?
I'll tell ya. I'm from Bulkyo, Jeolla-do.
Then you've been lying all this time?
So? You're just gonna give up?
No, it's not that...
I decided to help you cuz I feel for you, fella!
I was able to work as a top DJ here
cuz of my hard tootin' efforts!
At first I was like...
Hello, you all!
Listen up to a shocking dear, saucy song, eh?
Like that!
I respect you, sir.
Have hope. And let's start from the top.
Yes, sir.
- Again. - Wah?
Again!
Ah... I'm from Seoul.
Darn! Again!
Sure, kill me pawn, sir.
I'll be going.
Wah? You're really going to Busan?
I'm a man of my word, eh?
I've been thinking.
A cartoonist ain't so bad, eh?
So, you can stay here and draw.
No need to go to Busan.
Just marry a Jeolla-do gal, eh?
Your son won't get sucked into Gyeongsang-do
so don't you worry.
It's just for a few days.
Don't worry.
Isn't your book due soon?
I'm taking stuff I need. I'll work there!
- Hyun-jun! - Fool!
He don't know what Gyeongsang-do people are like!
Don't worry, boss. I'll stick to him like glue, eh?
Good. Don't let anything happen!
This game's over.
But I almost won!
- Not again, boss! - It's over!
Go on and tail him!
Darn. That was my game.
This news is just in.
The Berlin Wall in Germany has finally fallen.
People of East and West Germany meet
and celebrated all night.
Celebrated...Cele...
Why's it so hard, eh?
This news just in.
The Berlin Wall in Germany...
Quiet down, eh?
Sorry, but I have to practice.
So sorry.
This news just in.
The Berlin Wall in Germany has finally fallen.
What's with these pictures?
Maybe you got someone else's by mistake.
- Thank you. - This one, too.
Our cameras got mixed up.
They're Hyun-jun's pictures.
What a freak!
See! I told you men who do pen-pals...
can't be normal!
Screw this. Dump him!
But he's almost here.
No use showing him to your parents.
A Jeolla-do man and a freak on top!
When he gets off the bus, tell him it's over and run.
No! Guys like that can flip and go crazy.
What if he flips out on her?
So scary! That's possible.
I don't think this freak will go down easily.
Just have a meal together and send him off nicely.
If you don't hear from me, call the cops fast.
- Sure. - Of course!
It's a good picture.
Da-hong!
- Hyun-jun. - Hi.
Look at the mug on the guy!
Looks like a con-man!
The hell is that fool?
Who's that anchovy head looking at?
Something wrong with his eyes?
Looks better in person.
Who's that crazy flower gal?
Gyeongsang-do gals are something.
Look at that hat! So unbalanced.
Wow! It's so nice, eh?
I only came here a few times.
Never knew how nice Busan was, eh?
Still a country city compared to Seoul.
But I like Busan more than Seoul.
Of course. Can't compare your hometown.
How about a tour of the sea before we go, eh?
Sure.
What?
Your shoes are so pretty. Unique design, eh?
You like women's things?
Well, I guess sort of.
Someday I'll be able to confess things
Iike this about myself.
No need. I can take a wild guess.
You can? So you know what I am?
Yes...sort of.
News spread all the way to here?
Don't touch me!
Get away! Scram!
But...
But what!
You freak! How dare you!
You blocked?
Take this, freak!
Pervert! You like that?
You freak! You horrible freak!
Look at the lovebirds.
Getting' physical right away, eh?
Totally my style.
Golly, you're right. Oh no.
You're really a cartoonist?
That's what I said.
Then why'd you hide it?
Come on.
A man drawing girlie cartoons...
I couldn't say it.
I was worried that you won't want to date me.
That's crazy.
I like this more than you
just taking over your father's club.
I love cartoons.
Emotional love after the physical part.
I need to work on that.
He knows his stuff.
Your short hair is darn pretty!
- Oh, stop. - You know it.
What the!
Is she out of her mind?
Where's she putting her head!
The duck's so cute, eh?
What in the world?
Get away!
Out of the way!
Why's he saying to stop the car?
Get out of the way!
It's not easy being beautiful.
What?
Where's the fool going after telling me to pull over?
That crazy fool!
Crazy woman! Why's she parking?
Ow, my neck.
All Lotte gums?
Lady, give me a pack of Haitai gum.
Don't carry Haitai gum.
Don't kid with me. I'm busy.
Serious! We don't carry Haitai stuff.
Lotte gum's the best right there.
You need change? Here just take it.
Something bothering you?
So bitter.
Hey, Lady,
Why are you staring at me, eh?
Who, me?
You're staring right at me....
non-stop, Lady!
Mister, these are my eyes!
I can look at whatever I like
I'll do anything l please with my eyes
Still, you should ask for permission
or something, eh?
So sorry, then!
Sorry? Yeah, right! Come back here!
How dare you cut me off!
Darn no manners tootin' lady!
I can get mad!
Wah!
It ate my coin!
Can't stand even the phones here!
Lady?
Miss?
A pack of Lotte gum, please.
Wah?
Is that all you can do, fool?
So, are you sure you're not hurt?
Call me if anything happens, eh?
And go to the hospital and get an X-ray.
You know I don't go to hospitals, boss.
Fool! You'll need an X-ray after car accidents!
Mr. CHA Dae-shik?
I'll be alright after an X-ray, right?
Yes. Please take your clothes off, then come out.
CHANGlNG ROOM
- Take it good, eh? - Yes.
Golly!
What! I'm taking an X-ray here!
Where's the gown! Don't come out naked!
How would I know! It's my first time!
If I did anything wrong, cast stones at me!
It's okay.
- Did he scare you? - No, he's cute.
Here doggy.
- Welcome. - Oh!
Hello, ma'am. My name is CHO Hyun-jun.
No, Hyun-jun. She's our house keeper.
Come in.
- Thank you. - She's always like that.
Mama!
Welcome. I'm Da-hong's mother.
Hello, ma'am. My name is CHO Hyun-jun.
You must be tired from the long trip.
Could you prepare a snack in the garden?
What a gentle, good looking young man.
Looks like Da-hong found the right man.
Thank you, ma'am. I've never been so complimented.
And humble, too.
Where do you live in Seoul?
Ah...Kangnam.
Mama's from Seoul, too.
She flips when people mention Seoul.
It's been so long since I've been to Seoul.
What's it like these days?
It's gotten a lot better since the Olympics.
There are ferries on Han River.
There are 4 subway lines.
& a McDonald's just opened up
in Apgujung-dong.
Do you know Apgujung-dong?
Myung-dong was the hot spot in my days.
You had to wear rubber boots to go to Apgujung-dong.
There were nothing but rice fields with grasshoppers everywhere.
I see.
Are you okay?
No, it was nothing. I can face even worse.
Is this your room, Da-hong?
Wah! Totally pink.
And these books.
It's a perfect princess room.
Ah...This is my brother's room.
What?
Well, he's got a unique taste, eh?
Let's go to my room.
Wait.
- How bout a kiss? - Honey...
Ready?
The hell you kids doing!
- You scared me. - Hello.
Don't you know how to knock!
Why should I knock to come into my own room?
- Let's go. - Okay.
Isn't this...
The first letter I sent you?
I never saw a carefully made envelope like this.
So I knew I could date a thoughtful man like you.
- What are you doing? - l...ah...
Shouldn't we finish what we started out earlier?
Oh, please.
You scared me!
What are you doing in broad daylight!
Auntie! Don't you know how to knock!
Your pappy wants you to come down.
Or are you two busy kissing!
How do you do, ma'am.
Incredibly fine, thanks.
- Honey? Let's go - Hmm?
Not you!
He wants to see you alone.
I hope she didn't hear us.
Don't worry. Our walls are thick.
- Ah, really? - Oh, man!
Hello, sir.
Strike!
Been working out? Give it a throw.
- Sir? - Throw the ball.
Ball.
What brings you here?
I'm in love with Da-hong, sir.
I came for your permission in marriage.
I'll be watching you.
So, what does your father do?
Ah...it's like a big restaurant with music and things.
What's it called?
Jeon-ju Restaurant.
Why Jeonju of all places?
I don't care for Jeolla-do food.
Don't listen to his nonsense. Try the food.
Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
I especially made the Japchae myself.
Hope you like it.
How did you know, ma'am? Japchae is my favorite.
Isn't that a fly?
What? A fly?
Golly! It is!
It looks like a black mushroom.
What! Ever seen a mushroom with wings?
It tastes really fresh and good.
The mushroom must've looked like a fly cuz it's so fresh.
It looks like it can fly.
Yes, ma'am. Are there any more mushrooms?
Lots. I'll get you more.
What is he, a frog?
Japchae's the best with black mushrooms.
There's not much I expect from my daughter's husband.
Just one thing.
He can't be from Jeolla-do!
Hyun-jun?
Are you okay?
Quail egg's stuck in my throat...
Can't breathe!
Hyun-jun!
What's with him!
Wake up! Wake up!
Don't hit him!
- Damn hot! - Move!
Wah! That smarts!
Hyun-jun? Are you okay?
Where the hell am l, eh?
Snap to it. Pappy's right behind me!
He came to his senses.
What did you just say?
- Sir? - Eh'?
Who? Me?
I heard, too.
Where the hell am l, eh?'
Ah... I was just dreaming.
Dreaming?
Yes. I dreamt I was wandering
around in Gwangju, Jeolla-do.
It's a nightmare.
It was horrible hearing Jeolla-do dialect everywhere.
Must've been startled.
I insist you stay here and rest.
It's okay, ma'am. I reserved a place to stay.
Just sleep in Woon-bong's room.
Don't dream about Jeolla-do. That's scary!
Damn cartoonist, eh!
How'll he make a living off that?
So darn embarrassing.
What's this?
Dear Sir/Madam.
I am a big fan of your cartoons.
When I was about to give up on life...
I started reading your cartoons by chance.
The main character resembled me so much...
Your story gave me the courage to fight for my life.
You are a lifesaver.
I hope you continue to draw and
bring hope to others like me.
It's good. Real good.
How'd he draw so fun like this?
Looks so real, eh?
GlRLS' GENERATlON
Are you asleep?
Ma'am...
How's your stomach feeling?
I made some porridge for you.
You didn't have to, ma'am.
No, I really wanted to.
It's halibut and algae porridge.
I boiled finely ground up halibut,
brown algae, and rice.
Then added a drop of sesame oil.
I see, ma'am.
Slow down. It's hot.
It tastes like something
my mother used to make when I was young.
I never had it after she died.
But I remember the taste.
Where is your mother's hometown?
- It's Jeol... - Jeolla-do?
Jeolnong-dong.
It's a small suburb in Seoul.
That's strange. Seoul people can't eat this.
Where's your grandmother from?
I swear my whole family
Iived there all their lives.
Pappy & Mama seem to like you.
I'm so happy!
- You too, right? - Course.
I'm so jealous of you.
Well, my dad practically disowned me.
I once ran away from home cuz I didn't want to play the piano.
Really, eh?
Then what do you like?
Actually...
I want to write novels.
An author?
I knew there's somethin' special about your letters.
I'm going to write my own book someday.
Then I can draw cartoons to your story.
Golly! Yeah!
Here's to our future! Cheers!
Cheers!
Havin' a jolly good time, huh?
Isn't that the fool from before?
Why I'll crush his legs and throw em on the beach!
How dare he!
Why's she waving?
Good to see you too, eh?
Get lost, woman!
Goodnight.
Are you nuts!
What are you doing!
What are you?
You! Why date a guy like him?
Stupid! That's not it!
This is darn nuts.
Take the whatchamacallit off right now, eh!
Don't touch my precious things!
Whatchamacallit'?
Eh'?
- Gotta wake up Pap. - Wait!
I'll explain everything.
Yes, I'm from Jeolla-do.
But I'm no freak like you think I am.
See these cartoons here? I drew them, eh?
Watch your mouth.
Don't rattle off shit like that!
How dare you say you're Hyun-ji the great!
But I am Hyun-ji.
What? You're Hyun-ji?
Yes.
- You drew all that? - Yes.
Then what does Jennifer
say at the end of Girls' Generation 1 '?
Though destiny pulls us apart I'll never forget you'.
Then what's Ellie wearing at the start of book 3?
A blue sailor uniform.
Jennifer dies in the last book, right?
What's her last words to Richard?
If I can be born again'...
I'll be a real woman'...
- And live for you. - And live for you.
- I love you'. - I love you'.
It's a miracle!
Forgive me for pretending to be a Seoul man, eh?
Who cares if you're from Jeolla-do.
I've never felt this way before!
I lived like an alien all my life.
I'm not alone anymore!
Take it off, please It's all stretched.
You crazy!
Ouch!
I don't believe this!
You should sleep in and rest. Why follow me out here?
No, ma'am. I really wanted to come.
No one in the family ever came out
for groceries with me like this.
I feel so happy to have you
at my side to help.
I've always wanted to do this with my mother if she was alive...
A man with strong arms should help out like this.
Gyeongsang-do men are too authoritative
and don't know how to treat women.
Jeolla-do men are the best.
What?
I mean, Seoul men are the best.
Right.
Do you like Soondae?
I darn spankin' do!
- Ah... - Let's go, ma'am.
People don't eat Soondae with salt here?
No. I wasn't used to it at first,
but now I am.
- Thank you, ma'am. - Sure.
Ma'am?
Wah! Who's this? You're JANG Choon-ja, eh?
Wah! You're alive? Good to see ya, eh?
Where have you been hiding all these years?
Oh, excuse me. You mistake me for someone else.
You're the first Miss Cockles of Jeolla-do!
Remember your nickname? Scary double hoes?
She got 1,000 cockles a minute!
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You have the wrong person.
You sure are JANG Choon-ja!
Don't hit me, please. It hurts.
- Choon-ja! - JANG Choon-ja!
Ma'am! Wait!
Watch where you're going, granny!
Granny? You fool!
Are you damn blind!
Wanna die chomp?
Back in my old days, you'd be toast!
Got damn glasses, eh? Then you should've moved!
- Get lost, fool! - Are you okay, ma'am?
Are you hurt, sir? You bumped hard into me.
I'm okay. I'm sorry, sir.
Take care.
Are you okay, ma'am?
- I'm fine. - That's good.
Smells good. Is that beef soup?
I'll have a glass, too.
Hey, sis?
I think there's something fishy
about that Hyun-jun guy.
Why?
You know they snuck out last night?
Young people can do that. What's strange about that?
You're not gonna let Da-hong marry before me, right?
So then, get married.
Look at all those wrinkles.
Get em tucked & your tummy, too.
Do you want to hear about a virgin who's pregnant?
I wonder if you are a virgin.
You probably are!
I don't believe this!
I don't have a tummy!
So get married!
I don't deserve this! I'm leaving!
She'll come right back in after a few hours.
I should just change all the locks!
'Hey, sis! Open up! I'm sorry!'
Throw it out.
Have some veggies, too. There.
No, dear! Where're your manners?
I'm blind in one eye.
Pappy!
What? He's bound to know. Right?
Yes, sir.
If it wasn't for that bastard...
I would've become a pro baseball player.
Stop talking about that, dear.
And on top of that...
- Lie face down. - Lie face down!
- Lie down on back. - Lie down on back!
- Roll to the left. - Roll to the left!
- Roll to the right. - Roll to the right!
Do it right, fool! Get up!
JlN YOUNG-GWANG
Can't say your superior's name right, eh?
I'll correct it, sir!
Then say it again. What's my name?
Sgt. KlM Un-seok, sir!
Damn shithead! Don't go changing my name!
How many times did I tell you!
- Hey, Seoul Pig. - LEE Jin-seung, sir!
What's my name?
Sgt. KlM Eun-seok, sir!
Hear that? What's my name?
Sgt. KlM Un-seok, sir!
- Again! - Sgt. KlM Un-seok, sir!
Stop saying Eun-seok as Un-seok!
Down on your head, fool!
You want a piece of me, eh?
Can't you train the newbies, right?
Hit him in the tailbone!
Yes, sir!
Shut up, will you.
I can't stand Jeolla-do!
That's enough, Pappy.
Let's talk about something else.
You like baseball, right?
Yes, sir.
Which team? The Blue Dragons?
No, sir! I love Lotte!
Me, too.
Busan Seagulls! Busan Seagulls!
Don't ever forget me!
Lotte!
Get a grip boys! Lotte!
- Lotte! - Lotte!
Wah? Oh, no!
Should watch where you going. Are you hurt?
I'm fine, sir. Sorry, sir!
LEE Dae-ho? Looks like he'll become a big player.
The Lotte Giants are coming down hard on Haitai Tigers.
- JlN Young-gwang's here again. - Really?
Baseball stadium?
Why'd they take him to a baseball game?
The man really loves baseball.
He's going nuts, eh, boss?
I don't get the people there.
Keep a close eye on him.
Let's talk about JlN Young-gwang.
He got injured at the 11th National High School Playoffs & had to quit.
An ill-fated star player.
I remember.
- You do? - Yes.
Isn 't that man cheering beside
Mr. JlN, quite a unique fan?
Using newspapers to cheer...
Dae-shik! Listen up!
Bring Hyun-jun to me now!
No matter what! Right now!
Boss? Boss?
I never get an explanation!
Always the victim here!
What do you think?
Like it?
Better than I expected.
Did you hurt your hand?
I always get cramps when I draw.
Let me have a look.
Here?
That feels good.
Sir?
Think I should tell your father everything?
Why? You want to 'fess up?
Better to confess and take a light beating.
Yeah, I guess.
But my pap always gives hard beatings.
How do you feel after a few days with us?
Quite blessed to meet good people like this, sir.
Mother treated me like a real mom
& it's like I gained a big brother.
So, you want be a part of our family?
On that note.
I have something to tell you... sir.
- Be honest. - Sir?
If Da-hong and me are sinking in the sea, who will you save?
I...
Don't say you'll save me and die with Da-hong.
No, sir. The only thing I can't do is swim.
So, I can't save anyone.
Sorry, sir.
How can I pull him out of there!
What is it you have to tell me?
Yes, sir... About Seoul...
It's here! What are you doing!
- Give it to me! - I can do it, sir!
Don't be stupid! Give it here!
- It's okay, sir! - Pap! I'll do it!
- Get! - You can't do it alone!
Move Pap!
Darn!
Pap! Come out!
- Pap! I can't swim! - Sir!
Wah!
Pap! Come out!
The things I have to do!
Damn the wind's cold!
Hyun-jun! I'm coming!
Golly! Hurry up, mister!
There! There! What a relief!
Thank you, sir!
He's alive thanks to you!
Sir? What about me?
Will you come back?
Come here, sir.
It's okay.
Pap! If it wasn't for this man,
you'd be dead! Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
What? Is he a mute?
He says he's busy
and has to go.
You know sign language?
A little.
But he saved my life.
He saved me from drowning on my wife's birthday.
Ask him to come join us.
He thanks you for saving his life
and invites you to his house.
My house is that way.
I ate a lot.
I am full.
Thank you for your love... I mean thoughtful heart.
He says he had to get home.
I insist.
You bring him, no matter what.
Let's go.
How dare that fool come here!
Oh dear God! Thank heavens!
I don't know how to thank you.
This is crazy!
You charge into my house now?
You know this man?
- Course I do! - How?
He's my stalker.
He's been following me around everywhere.
Really?
Is that true?
Admit you're in love with me and want to marry me!
Why can't you say it? You a mute?
How do you know?
He can't speak, ma'am.
Who cares if he can't speak or see?
All you need is love.
Good for you! This is great!
Way to go! As long as he's not from Jeolla-do.
I'm so happy for you.
- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you, ma'am.
Going somewhere?
Oh, the bathroom.
Escort him, Young-ja.
Follow me.
He understands, then there's no problem.
Come on in. Golly! What's with you?
Don't do this!
I'm not an easy gal.
I know how you feel.
But this is going too fast!
Look. Let's go to my room.
The last one on the right!
What the hell is this?
You like this stuff?
Love is free.
I won't run away. Don't worry.
Right, you can't speak. How frustrating!
What are you doing!
Ma'am?
We can't stay here.
We got to run, now!
What are you saying?
He can talk?
You two know each other?
Shut up!
Your dad's flipping!
What are you talking about!
Hear it from your dad.
Let's get out of here!
You two!
You're from Jeolla-do!
I knew it!
I'll get you two!
Untie me, now! Now!
Why aren't you coming down?
- Sis! - What happened?
They're trying to kill me!
They tied me up like this!
They're Jeolla-do men!
Go get my brother, now!
Get the Jeolla-do fools and kill em!
You two are so dead!
Shut up, already!
I knew this day would come.
Run away now! My husband can't know.
Ma'am? You knew?
I suspected it from the porridge.
Seoul people can't eat that.
Ma'am...
Come outside. Then run when the mood livens up.
Go hide and live your life.
Don't let him find you.
She's a lifesaver. Let's go!
You damn bastards!
What's going on?
CHO Hyun-jun!
I'll reveal your real identity!
A bastard who came to ruin my dear niece's life!
Brother!
He's a Jeolla-do fool!
The mute, too!
Stop it, Auntie!
Hyun-jun doesn't know anything!
He just...
...pretended to be a Seoul man to marry me!
Is that true?
Sir... I can explain.
It's cuz I love Da-hong so much...
Get! You damn idiot!
And look at his bag.
What's with these cartoon books for girls!
Auntie! Hyun-jun is a cartoonist.
He drew those cartoon books!
Look at this!
You call this a cartoon?
I can draw better than this with my foot!
I drew that!
Sir...
It's all my fault.
I was going to tell you.
I can't have a Jeolla-do man step foot in my house!
Shit! Cut the darn crap!
The hell's wrong with Jeolla-do, eh?
What did Jeolla-do do wrong, eh?
Since you hate Jeolla-do so much!
I hid it me whole life!
But what's wrong with a Jeolla-do gal?
I raised your kids! And took care of you!
You slurped up everythin' I made Jeolla-do style! Shit!
Cuz I'm from Jeolla-do, you'll chase me out?
Fine! Go ahead!
I've been missin' my hometown at my old age!
So this is good!
Bong-ja! It's over, eh!
Yes, ma'am! Darn, it was so frustrating!
Curse it!
The show's over, eh?
The hell you doing?
Good riddance to Gyeongsang-do! Darn!
Don't go, Mama! You want to see me die!
I wanted to protect the man you love.
I wanted to help you keep your beautiful love.
But this is all I can do.
It's over.
I'm sorry, Da-hong.
Mama! Mama!
* When time goes by
* And you forget
* This heartbreaking longing
* Please remember our precious love
* Don't ever forget
* When time goes by
* And you forget
* This heartbreaking longing
* Please remember our precious love
* Don't ever forget
Can't cook anything but ramen?
You're not eating, Pap?
Hyun-jun's not home.
No, sir. I was waiting for you.
That should come first.
Don't want to hear about marriage.
No matter what you say, it ain't happening.
I ran away from home, sir!
Please! Please give us your blessing!
Go back home.
Please, sir.
I'll cut ties with my family if I must, sir.
Please, take me in.
This is a tough situation.
It was an accident...
Your father, JlN Young-gwang...
I'm the one who injured his eye.
Some things in this world...
Can't be undone no matter how hard you try.
What? CHO Se-dong?
Yes, sir. His father runs a club in Gwangju.
That bastard!
- Go back to work. - Yes, sir.
How can this happen?
Jeolla-do, I'll overlook, but why CHO Se-dong of all people!
CHO Se-dong...
Fourth batter for Busan High JlN Young-gwang to the plate!
He's sure to be a national ace player!
Gwangju's ace CHO Se-dong
up against him. Another rising star!
CHO Se-dong with the first pitch!
The ball hit JlN in the eye!
It hit him hard.
It could be a serious injury!
Long time no see, sir.
Sir? Just call me dad.
- Must've been so disappointed. - Course not, sir.
Forget everything. Let's set a date.
But isn't Da-hong seeing someone else?
Who doesn't have a past?
You take care of my daughter.
If you do,
I'll give you the wedding hall.
Have a drink, Dad.
Come by the house on the weekend.
Yes, Dad.
I'm getting married.
Hope you meet someone nice and be happy, too.
I'm sorry.
Ready to order?
The steak here is really good.
I'll have pork cutlets.
- Two pork cutlets then. - Okay.
What soup would you like?
Campbell's soup, please.
- We'll take that. - Okay.
Pappy promised to give you the wedding hall, right?
Of course not.
It's cuz I love you so much.
It doesn't matter.
But... Promise me this.
Anything, Da-hong.
Don't expect me to give you my heart.
Then I'll do whatever Pappy says.
Hyun-jun...
No, Honey...
Forgive me for saying goodbye in a letter like this.
I won't say sorry or ask you to wait.
Let's promise to be together in another lifetime.
My first and...
Iast love of this lifetime...
Hyun-jun...Goodbye.
Golly! You've grown!
Thanks for coming!
I only want the best for you.
Wait!
Is this all our love was to you?
Something you can walk away from cuz of money?
That's not right.
You can't do this!
Don't do this, honey!
What am I supposed to do now!
How am I supposed to live!
Hon! Don't you know who you really are?
This gal's screwed.
This is wrong, honey! Let's go!
Don't do this, honey!
The hell?
The man behind a sensational hit...
Here's CHO Hyun-jun, author of "My Love, JlN Da-hong".
- Hello. - Hello.
Welcome to our show.
I'm a big fan.
You went by the pen name Hyun-ji, right?
Yes.
Why did you reveal yourself and
change to your real name suddenly?
JlN Da-hong is a real woman
Whom I'm in love with.
But I made a big mistake and couldn't protect her.
I behaved irresponsibly as a man.
Where is JlN Da-hong now?
That's why I came on this show.
Mr. CHO Hyun-jun?
Hyun-jun?
Of course...Iove is not easy...
Da-hong?
Da-hong! It's not the end for me!
I can't wait till my next lifetime!
We didn't even start things, eh?
It can't just end like this!
You speak with a Jeolla-do accent. - Yes! I'm from Jeolla-do!
& Da-hong's from Gyeongsang-do.
So what's wrong with that!
What's so wrong! The hell is wrong!
Ah... I love Jeolla-do, too.
My husband's from there!
Please calm down. We're on the air.
Please...
Well...I...
Sorry, I kinda got too excited.
So, Da-hong! Please!
Let's just do it!
You're the only one for me now and forever!
We can't hide our love ever!
So, please! Take my heart!
Da-hong!
Hello?
Who's this?
JlN Young-gwang?
One hit & Gwangju High will win!
Busan High's in danger.
CHO Se-dong's on second base. Here's the pitch!
It's a hit!
CHO Se-dong turns third and goes home! And the tag!
Home in! Gwangju High wins!
CHO crashed hard into the catcher.
Looks like his ankle's bent!
CHO Se-dong!
You got old!
Shit...
Don't you look in the mirror?
You liked hitting me on purpose to win that game?
The ball can slip out of a pitcher's hand.
You don't duck and blame me for everything?
It didn't slip! You threw it at me!
So!
Is that why you told the catcher to break my leg?
Are you nuts?
I did no such thing!
Stop the yapping, eh?
Tell me why you came here.
- I'm sorry. - Wah?
- I said, I'm sorry! - Sorry for what?
This?
No! Your son, Hyun-jun!
Sorry about him!
The hell you talkin' about?
I know it's late.
But will you give me your son?
Fool! Speak out right!
Why would I give you my dear son?
You give me your daughter.
- What? - Fool!
You give me your daughter!
Then let's give and take and call it even?
What!
Now, let's finish our game.
What are you doing?
It's a homerun!
You! Never hit a homerun back then, did you?
You fool!
I hit thousands when you weren't watching!
Young-gwang? I'm sorry, too.
Let bygones be bygones.
Good. I already forgot everything!
Get up and run!
Gotta step home plate to be a homerun!
Run! One, two! One, two! Slide! Slide!
Good slide!
Why didn't you slide like that back then?
Stupid...
If I went in head first, my neck would've got broke!
After the whatchamacallit, it feels, you know!
Come on! I'll buy you a drink!
The whatchamacallit? Darn good, eh?
Whatchamacallit's the only thing you know in our dialect?
I ain't like I was back in the days.
Wah? You're still the same, eh?
JANG Choon-ja! The scary double hoes!
Really?
Mama!
What are you doing here?
Why'd you come?
What do you mean?
Pap! Hurry on over!
- Smells so salty. - It's the sea.
They come to buy cockles?
Why'd you come? To ask me to sign divorce papers?
No, it's not that.
You happy Da-hong ended up like that?
Let's split up. I'll live with Da-hong here.
I'm so embarrassed.
I'm the stupidest chomp there is.
Honey. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to Da-hong, too.
Forgive me this once?
Why do you look so haggard, honey?
It's cuz you missed my cooking?
So you forgive me?
Thank you.
Ma'am!
Whoa! Whoa!
- You came? - Yes, sir.
- Honey! - Da-hong!
Honey!
Your clothes got all dirty.
It's okay.
Hey, girlie!
You got some gall, eh?
Back in our days,
you went to jail for kissing in public, girl!
What the!
Why you!
Your dad threw it at you! Not me!
I'll get you!
Pap! Where you going?
Why you!
Come back, Pap!
Cheers!
Chinese food suits both families, eh?
This is the most famous restaurant in Busan.
I can see. Look at the red whatchamacallit.
- Let's eat up, pal. - Sure, buddy.
- Eat lots. - Yes, ma'am.
Here, Father. Try some.
Why, sure!
She looks just like the character in the cartoons.
So amazing.
No use raising a daughter, huh?
When did you ever do that for me?
She did when she was like five or six.
Pappy, I don't want this.
You eat it.' Then you she fed you.
Now that it's all over, tell me the truth.
You ordered the catcher, didn't you?
Oh, come on. No way.
I'm not damn sneaky like that.
What? One day he got drunk and told me.
Said you gave orders to break his legs.
You said to practically kill him! Don't lie.
Why you little!
Then what about you?
You hit my eye on purpose.
How many times do I have to say it!
The ball slipped!
That's the truth.
See?
He wanted to hit your waist,
but it slipped and hit your eye.
What!
CHO Se-dong!
- Father! - Pap! No!
Pappy! Please!
Admit it, fool!
Look at the beautiful view up here!
- We're even then! - Why you!
