Wedding card congratulate us!
May I ask who you are?
Is Prosecutor Kwon in his office?
He stepped out for a minute.
Who may I...
When is he coming back?
He'll be back in the afternoon.
All right, I'll wait.
Park Sang-hee. Yes.
Lee Yong-hyun. Yes.
Yoon Jung-sook. Yes.
You're a troublemaker right up to the end, aren't you?
You're a student until you receive your diploma!
Where's your name badge?
And your school badge?
I hear you're getting married.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm very happy.
That's nice.
Yoon Jung-sook, I want you to be happy.
And...
If there are eligible bachelors around your husband,
don't forget to call me.
Okay.
We graduated!
One, two, three!
What, a traditional Korean wedding?
You're going to wear a Korean dress?
No wedding dress?
How could you give up on the chance to wear a wedding dress?
As long as I have the love of my husband,
I could even get married in my school uniform.
You might say that all I need is his passionate love.
How strange...
What is?
But he didn't like you.
Why the sudden change?
Well...
You shouldn't pry.
Besides, he's fallen hard for me.
Why has he fallen hard for you?
Are you saying you don't believe me?
No.
- You either? - No.
We need proof to believe you.
Proof...
Look behind you, friends!
Jung-sook!
Is that proof enough?
I have to go see my fiance now.
Bye.
So it's true!
Is this good enough?
Can't you act more loving?
Oh, my!
I said I'd marry you, not date you.
I only asked you to do it because my friends
wouldn't believe I was getting married.
You did buy the flowers for me, didn't you?
Let's go.
We have somewhere to go.
Mister, where are we?
It's our home. Do you like it?
What?
My grandfather would've gotten us a better place.
But I wanted to do it on my own.
I barely had enough to lease this place.
Don't prosecutors make a lot of money?
I'm a public servant, you know.
We have to budget.
- Really? - Really.
So why do women want to marry prosecutors so badly?
Don't worry, Mister.
My mom and I have had many part-time jobs to make ends meet.
I won't let you starve.
Just trust me!
I'll take you home.
Where did you go?
Jung-sook's graduation.
So you're acting the loving fiance.
But what changed your mind?
You suddenly fell in love with her?
I'd be in trouble if I fell in love with her.
I'll get hurt.
What do you mean?
Like you said, I think it'd be all right to marry her.
Good thinking.
Marriage is about life, not love.
Whether you marry your love, or someone arranged for you,
you still have to live with the person.
Is everything okay?
You have a guest waiting for you.
Really?
Sis.
How could you do this to me?
I was going to tell you when you came back from China.
Then you weren't going to discuss it with me?
You wanted me to get married too, didn't you?
Yes, but not this way.
Even if you were betrothed, you can't marry a...
Sis.
I appreciate your concern,
but I don't want you to make my decisions for me any longer.
No matter what you say, I'm marrying her.
I made up my mind.
I'm finally marrying him.
It's all because of you, Grandfather.
Now all I have left to do is to make him love me.
You'll help me, won't you?
Hello? Mister!
You want to see me now?
Okay.
Why does he want to see me again?
Does he miss me already?
Thank you, Grandfather!
Why didn't you come in?
We're not married yet.
So?
How could I go inside your house knowing you're alone?
You sure are strange...
What brings you here?
I need you to meet someone tomorrow night.
Who is it?
A very important person.
Are uniforms the only clothes you have?
I'm still a student, you know!
Buy yourself a pretty outfit.
No, why should I take your money?
We'll be married so my money is your money.
We're not married yet.
Just take it. Bye.
I think you'll look pretty in the right clothes.
I'm pretty?
But this place is expensive.
Let's go someplace else.
But you're meeting an important person with him tonight.
You have to dress up and save his face.
He told you to dress up.
What would that mean?
He wants to take you out.
You're no longer a girl.
Get him!
Hello.
Do you still have that outfit I was looking at?
Yes, there is one left.
Good.
Is it all right?
But is my hair okay with this outfit?
It's too pretty.
You want to try on a hat?
- Hat? - Hat!
Over there. I like that one.
- Please let go. - You should let go.
I got my hand on it first.
What do you mean?
I've been looking at this one.
Let go.
Why are you talking down to me?
Because I can.
You're a high school student, aren't you?
I graduated high school!
And you can talk down to me if I am?
You have no manners, do you?
Didn't your parents teach you better?
You're not showing any manners either, ma'am.
What? Ma'am?
Ma'am, you know who her husband is?
He's a prosecutor.
You know what a prosecutor is, don't you?
You should back out while you can.
What?
Well, excuse me.
- Let's go. - Bye, ma'am.
What the...
Ma'am, the mature fashion is on the third floor.
I can't believe it.
People don't teach their children properly.
Right...
She said her husband is a prosecutor.
He might be someone you know.
Prosecutor?
Mister.
You!
She's the one?
Wait.
Let's talk for a minute.
We don't need to talk!
I'm going to talk to Grandfather!
Sis!
I can't understand him telling you to marry
someone like her, and you going along with it!
I can't accept this wedding!
Mister, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said anything.
I didn't know you had a sister.
She returned from China recently after teaching there.
I see.
What am I going to do now? She hates me.
She would've found something about you to pick on,
even if she hadn't met you today.
She won't accept our wedding.
She and you don't get along?
My older sister made me this way.
What do you mean?
It's a long story.
I'll tell you next time.
We're here.
There won't be any obstacles to our getting married, right?
It's your loss if you don't get to marry me.
Goodbye, Prosecutor Kwon.
Wait.
What?
Did you threaten her, saying your husband was a prosecutor?
A public servant must never use his position
for his own benefit or someone else's.
I'm the prosecutor, not you!
You'd better not do it again.
Okay.
Besides, what's this you're wearing?
I told you to wear something proper.
No, you said to wear something pretty!
- Did I? - Yes.
Anyway, your skirt length must be 10 centimeters
below the knee, and don't show more than 20o/o of your skin.
- Mister! - Quiet!
Jung-sook.
A poet once said it was the wind that raised him.
What raised me was you.
What do you think?
I think it's nonsense.
Your father raised you.
You can't understand a poet.
Let's just be good friends, okay?
No, I don't want to be your friend.
What I mean is, I won't taint the love I have for you
by saying it's just friendship.
You'll always remain in my heart, like in The Scarlet Letter.
Forever.
Magnet, I don't know,
because I haven't read The Scarlet Letter.
But I want to go inside because I'm cold.
I have one last thing to say.
Go ahead.
Do you think wearing expensive clothes,
and marrying a prosecutor suits you?
What?
They're not suitable for each other.
That girl and Hyuk-joon don't suit each other.
Grandfather, rethink your decision.
Stop talking about that.
I'll bring a suitable girl for our family,
if you just give me some time.
I like Mr. Yoon's granddaughter, and so does Hyuk-joon.
He doesn't like her.
How could someone who's lacking in so many ways
be this family's only daughter-in-law?
We can teach her the things she doesn't know.
You could teach her.
Grandfather!
Stop saying such negative things before the wedding.
You shouldn't have said that.
The wedding's in only two days.
You only upset him.
I am upset with you two.
You and Aunt should've stopped this from happening!
You know how stubborn your grandfather is.
He would never have listened to us.
It's too late to call off the wedding.
Just accept it.
No. Let them get married.
I'll have them get a divorce.
Sun-ah!
Let her be.
She only said that because she's upset.
You got off on the wrong foot with your sister-in-law!
You're not pretty and you're not smart.
And you don't come from a rich family.
Yes!
His family's rich, he's a prosecutor and...
He's handsome!
Do you think I'm not good enough for him?
Of course...
Of course not!
You're not lacking in so many ways.
You're good at lots of things!
What am I good at?
- You sure can fight! - Yes, she's the best!
There's more!
You're a good singer! And you're a good dancer!
Right!
Yes, I'm a good singer and dancer!
That's good enough!
What's so great about a prosecutor?
I know!
Mister!
Right now?
What is it?
Hey, what are you wearing?
Do I look proper enough to be a prosecutor's wife?
Let's go inside.
How nice!
- I've never been to a hotel! - Just go inside.
Let's go.
Mister, you should've told me!
I'm not properly dressed!
I didn't know you'd wear something like that.
You look pretty.
But you're dressed properly.
These are my work clothes.
It's okay. It's not our engagement party.
I could've shown off my fashion sense!
- Hyuk-joon! - Hi!
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Where's your fiancee?
We all have high expectations.
Who is she?
Jung-sook. I'll be right back.
Jung-sook!
Hello.
I'm Prosecutor Kwon's future wife.
I knew he did well in school,
but I never knew he was fluent in English!
Are you Prosecutor Kwon's fiancee?
- Yes, I am. - I was right.
Hello, we went to college with him.
I see...
We were very curious about you.
He was very popular in college.
What you're wearing is very chic.
- Is that Gucci? - No, it's not Gucci.
They don't use that type of material.
I think it's something else.
- Am I right? - I don't know.
I stole it from my mom's dry cleaner's.
I didn't actually steal it.
A customer never came back for it for 2 years.
I wore it because I didn't want to throw it away.
Does your family run a laundry business?
What business?
Even dry cleaners aren't doing so bad these days.
You look very young.
You're not still in school, are you?
- I graduated. - You did?
Prosecutors usually marry women who majored in music or art.
What was your major?
What?
If I tell them I just graduated from high school,
it'll be humiliating not just for me but for him too.
My friends said I'm a good singer, so...
I studied opera!
I studied in Italy and came back this spring.
I went to the same famous schoolthat Jo Su-mi attended.
I can't tell you how a bunch of idiots...
What?
Well...
I wanted to continue studying, but my family and
Prosecutor Kwon's family wanted us to marry.
And when I met him, he wasn't bad,
so I decided to marry him.
So did he propose to you?
No, I asked him.
Of course he proposed to me!
Kyung-hwan!
Jung-sook, he also studied opera at the same school you attended.
You must know each other.
Well...
It was a big school...
Who was your professor? Was it Professor...
I'll tell you when I come back from the bathroom.
Why do they have to ask so many questions?
I'd better find him and go home.
Where were you?
I went to Italy to study opera.
What?
Let's go. It's no fun here.
Okay, let's go.
- Prosecutor Kwon. - Yes.
I'll be right back.
Jung-sook.
We have a favor to ask you.
We have a very special guest here tonight.
Kwon Hyuk-joon's fiancee, who has studied opera
in Italy will sing a song to congratulate the happy couple.
I think it would be fitting for you
to sing an Italian song like you studied in Italy.
Italian song?
I would've studied if I'd known...
What could I sing?
Jung-sook.
I'll do it. I'll sing...
Don't they teach you that song in junior high?
Please, a round of applause.
How did it go?
What should I do?
Why don't we all sing together?
I'm sorry.
Jung-sook returned from Italy recently,
and still has jet lag.
I don't think she can remember the words.
I'll sing a song for you.
Mister, you never told me you were a good singer!
You were so good!
Isn't there anything you can't do?
You're smart, you're a good fighter,
and you're a good singer!
- Jung-sook. - Yes?
Why did you lie?
I'll forget about tonight's incident.
But don't lie again. I don't like it.
I didn't want to lie.
Do you think I wanted to lie?
But those women kept asking where I went to college,
and what my family did.
You went to college and you're rich,
but I never went to college, and my family's poor.
I was embarrassed and I didn't like it.
You were embarrassed?
You should be more embarrassed that you were ashamed of yourself.
Then why did you help me earlier?
Why didn't you let them find out I had lied?
Wasn't it because you were ashamed of me?
Jung-sook.
You say you don't like my lying,
but you didn't want them to know the truth about me
because you were ashamed of me!
Jung-sook!
Why did I say that? Now he'll hate me!
I'm so stupid!
No, a fight between a husband and wife never lasts long.
I should beg!
Oh, my!
I can't believe that girl's getting married!
I'll be damned if she does and damned if she doesn't!
He's not in at the moment?
He's in a meeting.
Would you like to wait for him?
No, Mister...
No, I mean could you tell Prosecutor Kwon
that I'm waiting in the break room?
Sure.
- Isn't she the one? - I don't know...
Are you going to Prosecutor Kwon's wedding?
Sure.
I'll go because I'm curious who he's marrying.
Rumor has it that she studied opera in Italy.
And she's from a prominent family.
Who says that? That's all a lie.
She just graduated from high school,
and she's been raised by her poor widowed mother.
She doesn't have much of a background.
Really?
So why is Prosecutor Kwon marrying her?
She's not a good match for him.
Why is he marrying her?
- He's too good for her. - I know.
Prosecutor Kwon's a very good prosecutor, but he's not
a good judge of character when it comes to women.
Who would marry someone just for her looks these days?
He's not worldly yet.
Look, you chubby man.
You shouldn't talk about someone like that,
just because you think she's not around.
What?
Who are you to butt in on a conversation between adults?
Me? I'm Prosecutor Kwon's fiancee.
Yes, I never went to college, and I'm from a poor family.
So I exaggerated a little bit.
I'm sorry I stretched the truth,
but you shouldn't talk about our wedding like that!
- It's just... - That's okay.
I'm well aware that I'm not much of a catch.
I don't care what you say about me,
but don't say anything about my fiance.
He's not superficial like you!
Miss!
She came here to see me?
Yes, she said she'd wait for you in the break room.
I'm sorry. I should've told you earlier.
It's okay. You should go home.
All right.
Hey, we should go out for a drink on your last night of bachelorhood.
Let's go.
I understand how she must've felt to lie like that.
She's still a young girl, after all.
I'm sure she was nervous about being in a situation like that.
You should talk to her and make her feel better.
I know.
But I feel as if I shouldn't do this to her.
What are you talking about?
What happened last night won't be
the last time something like that happens.
I don't know if marrying me is the right thing for her.
Your wedding's in two days.
Stop talking nonsense and drink.
Hello?
Yes, Mother.
What?
I'm too ashamed to face you.
I never thought she'd leave home.
It's my fault.
It's not your fault.
Because of me...
I hurt her feelings.
I'm sorry.
I don't think that was it.
I'm sure she knew that this wedding shouldn't happen.
Jung-sook's not good enough and not suitable for you.
Perhaps it's a good idea to call off the wedding at this point.
Mother.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I'll look for her.
Prosecutor Kwon.
I'll find her and we'll get married,
so don't worry.
What's your real reason for wanting to marry Hyuk-joon?
I'll get right to the point.
Forget about marrying Hyuk-joon.
Why should I? No!
What could you possibly do for Hyuk-joon?
You two can't communicate, since you never went to college.
And it's not like your family can help him financially.
I hope you don't think cooking and cleaning
is all there is to being a good wife.
As long as he wants to marry me, what does that matter?
He takes his responsibility
as the firstborn very seriously.
And marriage is no exception for him.
What Hyuk-joon needs is not someone like you.
If you really care about him,
think about what you should do about the wedding.
I'll call it off, okay?
I need to look for a person.
Her name is Yoon Jung-sook and she's 18 years old.
I think she's wearing a black coat.
Sure.
Check all the crime reports from last night.
This is Kwon Hyuk-joon.
Sis?
I'm going to Andong now.
What are you going to do tomorrow?
What are you talking about?
Didn't that outrageous girl tell you?
Did you meet Jung-sook?
She wasn't too unreasonable.
Do you want to tell Grandfather that the wedding's off?
Or do you want me to tell him?
Sis!
Stop talking nonsense,
because I'm getting married as planned.
Let go!
I never wanted to see you again.
Why?
Because I thought the defeated should just leave quietly.
Jung-sook grew up Ionely.
But she was happy and cheerful.
Now she's left home because of you.
What have you done to her?
I'm sorry. I've got nothing to say.
She left home in this cold winter weather!
Except for her late grandfather,
father, and mother, she has no other family!
I'm going to find Jung-sook.
I came to tell you that when I do,
I'll never let her go back to you.
Except for her late grandfather,
father, and mother, she has no other family!
Grandfather, Father, it's me, Jung-sook.
I'm sorry.
I decided not to get married.
I really like him,
but I think this is what's best for him.
So...
What is your relationship with my parents
that you're crying here like this?
What?
I'm sorry. I got the wrong grave!
Why did you come here later than me?
How did you know I'd be here?
Are you embarrassed that you wrotesuch a dramatic letter,
but I found you so easily?
Yes, Mother, I found Jung-sook.
I'll take her to Andong with me, so we'll see you there.
There are a lot of preparations to make,
so let's go straight to Andong.
I'm not going there.
Your mother will be there early tomorrow morning.
You read my letter! I'm not marrying you!
Is it because of what my sister said?
I don't know what my older sister said,
but I apologize. I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
It's not entirely because of her.
Actually, I never had any intention of marrying you.
I said it as a joke and you took it seriously.
I'm sorry I'm backing off after asking you to marry me first.
But I really can't marry you.
Please understand.
Do you mean that?
Yes, I mean it.
You really didn't want to marry me anyway.
That's not true.
I thought it wouldn't be so bad to marry you.
But if you don't want to marry me, we should call it off.
Let's call it off.
Mister.
You can't pass here because of the blizzard.
Then is there another road I can take?
It's the same everywhere.
You can't go back.
But I have to get back.
But you don't even have chains on your tires.
You should spend the night here and leave tomorrow.
Jung-sook, you trust me, don't you?
You can trust me! I'm trustworthy!
I swear on my family's honor!
Can't you trust me?
What do you want me to trust you for?
I'm running out of gas and we might freeze to death.
So?
Are you going to just rest for a while,
or are you going to spend the night?
What?
Are you going to just rest for a while,
or are you going to spend the night?
Give us two rooms.
Do you think we have many vacant rooms in this blizzard?
I only have one room!
What?
You're too young to have bad hearing.
Never mind if you don't want it.
Give us that room.
You don't have to act so shy and innocent!
- Jung-sook. - Yes?
You can sleep on the bed,
and I'll sleep on the floor.
Mister.
What?
You can't move up to the bed in the middle of the night.
What?
Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep.
- Mister. - What now?
We should be honest with each other,
now that we're breaking up.
What do you mean?
Why did you want to marry me?
Why should I tell you when we're breaking up?
Just go to sleep.
I'm curious.
You have lots of smart and eligible women
swarming around you, so why did you want to marry me?
You asked me to marry you!
Because I had my reasons!
Didn't you say that you thought
it wouldn't be so bad to marry me?
What did you mean by that?
Your bean paste stew isn't so bad.
Was that all?
I don't know.
I thought it wouldn't be such a bad idea to marry you
when I saw that you made bean paste stew for me.
That's all.
Mister, do you want to eat
the bean paste stew I made for you again?
Let's go.
We have to stop the guests from going to Andong.
We have to get to Andong!
What?
I thought about it last night,
and I think we're perfect for each other.
I won't be arrogant,
since I only graduated from high school.
And I won't ask you for favors for my relatives,
since I don't have any.
Isn't that perfect for the wife of a public servant?
I'll marry you...
As long as we're not late to the wedding.
What's wrong with the car?
Why can't you start the car?
I think the battery's dead.
Mister!
What do you mean,
the bride and groom haven't arrived yet?
What's going on?
Uncle, it's time we told him.
Grandfather, the bride won't come.
You should tell the guests that the wedding's off.
What did you say?
The bride ran away, saying she couldn't get married.
What?
I'm sorry, sir.
All because of my daughter...
This is why I was so against the wedding.
You have to call off the wedding
before we inconvenience the guests further.
Let's wait.
Grandfather.
We still have some time.
We can tell the guests if they don't show up by 12:00.
But the guests...
It's not good manners to send the guests back
when they came all the way here.
After all, the food was prepared for them.
Start setting up the tables.
Don't worry.
I have confidence in my new granddaughter-in-law.
Thank you, sir.
Sir!
Mister! Look!
Grandfather, why don't you tell the guests the truth now?
They're here!
Over there!
Mom!
Grandfather is waiting.
Grandfather, we're here!
