2013, Seoul
You are not watching the wedding video?
Don't you hear them making fun of it?
What did the groom put on his lips?
Who doesn't look like a bumpkin at their wedding?
Jeez. Na Jeong, that wench, should've added some breast pads.
It is completely empty, completely empty (flat-chested).
Hasn't "Sook Sook" come back yet?
He told me that he will be back soon, but he still hasn't come back.
Ah, this son of bitch. Does he have a girlfriend or something? The college entrance exam is around the corner.
What do you mean by son of bitch?
You have 3 kids. You should watch your language.
What? You told me that you liked it in the past.
Even if I did, it's so annoying to hear it for 20 years.
I was too innocent back then because the only thing I did was playing baseball.
Where would he possibly go at this hour?
He's been coming home late these days.
Who knows? He might be giving this and that to some girl right now, like a freak.
What do you mean a girl?
I told you I was seeing my friend.
Don't repeat your words again and again, Mom.
Alright.
I got it. I said I got it.
I'm sorry. Let's eat.
It's your mom again?
Hey, does your mom call you often too?
My mom calls me like 100 times a day.
Both of my parents work.
If we see each other in the morning, that's it.
By the way, I heard that your dad is really famous. They said I would know if I heard his name.
Well, a little...
Hey, hey. Put this in your bag. You might drop it.
But can I really keep it?
I told you I'm tired of it.
But it's still new.
It does look like new, right?
I wiped it all night.
It's simply a gift, a gift.
It's a gift to celebrate the fact that there's only 10 days left until the college entrance exam.
But I don't know. I'm still missing you. Bai>??
I miss you baby girl. For me the complete persoi
True, it's a lame excuse, but at the time it was a shy first lovi
June, 1994 Changcheon-dong, Suhdaemun-gu, Seoul
Like this. Try to use your wrist like this to throw the ball.
Like this. Here...
Hey, kid. Throw gently, gently.
What are you doing to an ordinary person ("non-athlete")?
Ah, you almost broke my fingers.
I was just teaching y-
He did throw it gently.
Hey, Trash. He threw just now with less than 1/100 of what he's got.
Hey, Coach. You are still up?
Yeah.
My wife asked me to buy some ice cream because it's hot and all... I'm on my way back home.
But I guess you are full of energy in this midsummer heat, huh?
You are playing catch with this Trash.
Why? He's pretty good.
He's the best out of all non-athletes I've played before.
Is that so? Even better than me?
What?
Hey, Chil Bong. Don't even think about going easy on me.
Throw with all you got.
I will catch it all. Okay?
Throw it really hard.
What are you doing?
It's hot. Throw it already.
Then, could you step back a bit...?
Oh my. Look at this boy. Are you underestimating me?
I was once, huh, an ace catcher
in the first year of (Korean) pro baseball, you kid.
Just throw it with all your might.
Here.
Ah, what are you doing?
If you don't throw it on the count of 3, you will be prohibited from entering my house.
Ah, this bastard... You are also prohibited even if you go easy on me.
Okay.
Here. I will count to 3, so throw it, okay?
One.
Two.
Three!
Hey, you kid. Are you calling this your fastest ball?
You can't even play in the social (intramural) baseball team with this.
Kids who were praised for their pitching in high school were full of themselves.
They are now handing out their business cards around, you kid!
Get your head on straight!
Yes.
This kid. Hmm.
And when I went to the U.S.,
I bought a great glove. I will give it to you as a gift.
So practice a lot with it and make it possible to throw a ball at 160 km/hr.
Got it?
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Put all your attention to it!
I'm leaving!
Take it off.
Ice cream.
Ah, really. He's definitely gotten better.
Episode 6 An Introduction to Gifts
People of the National Police Agency Fathers and Sons
Hey.
Have any of you seen my back-brace?
Oh my.
You have a backache again, my friend?
A little. I guess I lost it again.
I have one. Do you want to borrow it?
You have a herniated disc, too?
Well, it's an occupational disease.
That's right. There are no pitchers without herniated disc problem.
It's been a couple of years since I got it.
It's in my bag upstairs.
Is that so? I will use it just for today and return it.
Here.
This is a really good one. My team doctor gave it to me when my herniated disc recurred.
Wow, it even looks better.
I'm jealous. You have something like a team doctor.
Then, does he treat your herniated disc and things like that?
No, he just gives us massages.
But if you receive one, it feels better for a while.
Really? If I could get one now, I feel like I can live, too.
Hey, hey.
I-I got it. Got it, got it. Alright, alright, I will do it for you.
Ah! Do it more gently, please!
Okay.
Let's see. Your right leg is way shorter than your left leg.
Your pelvis must be twisted this way.
Yeah, I know that. My right side hurts a lot.
I tell you that this side the disc went all the way to my feet.
Alright. Here.
Loosen up and exhale...
Whoa. Wait, wait, do it gently.
What? I got it.
I haven't started yet.
Exhale.
Oh, you are quite good.
Of course. They said I'm the best out of my team.
That is why I massage my sunbaes frequently.
Exhale.
Try to stretch out your legs.
Hey.
You should stop being a pitcher and do this instead.
That's a compliment, right?
Of course! It feels really good.
Here.
Bend this and
exhale.
One more time, huuuu~
Sang Min also has a herniated disc.
I think all athletes have it, right?
I guess so.
This is the last thing but it's the best.
Here.
Relax and exhale.
Hey, this feels the best.
Right? Relax and exhale.
Exhale. Relax. Exhale...
Exhale...
The opposite side.
Relax. Exhale.
Should we take a break?
Finally, 1994's World Cup, the most celebrated event globally.
With the grand opening ceremony, the month long games begin.
Korea, in the same group with Spain, Germany and Bolivia...
has the first game against the invincible Spain on June 17th at 6:20AM...
in the morning on the 24th...
Lower the volume.
Has the last game against Germany on 28th at 5AM...
Lower!
Korea, in the games for three consecutive years, is aiming to advance to the round of 16...
I'm getting hot! Turn on the fan.
Sports news every night.. turn the channel to Love in your Embrace. (drama)
Don't make it blow too strongly!
Make it rotate.
Where in the world is there a man like that? Drama should be realistic.
Let's just turn the radio on instead.
Oh, it's so hot! Geez...
Time for Han Myoung Hwe (a TV drama). Turn the TV on.
@&@&^@♪0! You just don't stay still!
What am I, your servant? Are you training a dog? Ordering me to do this and that?
Just do what ever you want! Just do what ever you want!
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I'm the problem. I'm the problem.
Hey, Honey.
Is it your monthly fever (menstruation)?
Hey, you... Oh, geez!
OST from 1994 drama "All My Love" which starred Cha In Pyo and Shin Ae Ra
Aigoo, were you here?
Yes.
What is this?
Today also,
at the ballpark, we got extended by 15 points while fighting the PB Bears, what's with the OB this night? (OB Beer)
Father, you have a white hair here.
Is there another white hair?
You're going to have to dye it.
Why should I do that?
I'll just live as it goes as I age.
Oh, but Father, these days the Twins are crazy.
I heard that Lee Sang Woon has already won the championship.
If they continue like this, what if they really do win the championships?
Well, I don't really have any real worries because of baseball,
but I'm worried about house matters.
Is there something wrong at home?
It's no small matter. 6/25/1950 (start of the Korean War) doesn't compare to this.
Il Hwa is
suddenly changed.
Excuse me?
She was never once a person to act annoyed,
but these days she shows her temper once every few days.
She gets so angry, shrieks with laughter, passes out...
She said she's going to watch Cha In Pyo but watches Han Myung Hwe (drama) instead.
Ah, this woman, I don't know what drumbeat to dance to lately.
Mother, is she by chance, going through menopause?
What menopause?
Does she sleep well?
I don't know since I fall asleep the moment my head hits the pillow.
Does she eat well?
I don't know since as soon as I eat, I leave.
Does she not keep saying that she's hot?
If in this heat, you're not hot, you're a crazy person!
Really, Father, you are very (useless).
Be good to Mother.
What, you brat?!
Where is there someone who's as good to their wife as me?
That's why I live hearing myself called halfwit, dimwit, you jerk.
You have to do better.
During menopause, if she gets depressed too, it'll be a big deal.
Oh, that menopause,
doesn't have a medicine to cure it? It'd be nice if she took it and was quickly cured.
Where is there medicine for that? Is there medicine for puberty?
But there's really no medicine for it?
Then,
what do we do?
Be like Cha In Pyo. (T.V. heart-throb in 1994)
Earlier when I was turning on the TV, I saw for a moment...
What?
Cha In Pyo and Shin Ae Ra were on a date.
Shin Ae Ra's scent was very nice, so
Cha In Pyo, looking all mesmerized, asked her what kind of shampoo does she use?
Then?
Then, Shin Ae Ra was perplexed and said this.
"Malpyo Laundry Soap."
Does it smell nice?
Wife, wife... my wife...
Your coffee delivery is here.
Here, it's hot. Should I turn on the fan?
You've mixed it so smartly.
It's surprisingly good.
It's.. surprising.
In your small heart,
love that's hidden
don't ever cause me pain.
Honey, if the coffee is delicious should I get you another, honey?
You're a coffee freak, aren't you?
When did I like it?
I drank it because you liked it.
Here, this is the kids'...
Oh, honey...
Is this the children's clothes?
I'll take it to give to them, so honey, you just rest here.
Ok.
Aiyoo. Really.
Is it mine, Father?
Oh, it's not yours. It's Sam Cheon Po and Haitai's.
What laundry does she wash and even fold it like this for them?
She's really made them into brats with bad habits.
Aiyoo, still it's because mother likes it that she's doing it.
But is that child sleeping?
Looking at her today, she was saying that her back hurt again.
Do you think she'd already be sleeping?
When I saw her earlier on the veranda, she had something plugged into her ears.
She's probably listening to music and thinking about Lee Sang Min.
What does she like about that boy that looks like a gisaeng?
I like our team's Kim Ji Hyun a thousand times better.
Woman's hearts, even as you know them, you really don't know.
Even as you know them, you really don't know.
Father, sleep.
Yes.
Aiyoo, brats.
?? Now You're a beautiful woman, ??
?? Like this You make my heart ache, ??
?? Always I couldn't say those words, ??
?? From a long time ago you came into my heart, ??
?? The white wedding dress.??
What are you listening to?
?? Dazzlingly beautiful bride of May.??
Who are these guys?
Are they famous kids?
Doll's Knight by Next (singer).
Aigoo, does doll even have a driver?
I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
Jeong,
these days Mother's condition isn't that good.
She's going through menopause.
You take notice and be good to her.
She suddenly can become angry and not have much appetite,
and if she's not careful she can get depression,
so you be next to her and meet her needs and be good to her.
Huh?
Do you understand?
I understand.
But how did you know that it was her menopause?
Did Mom say it was?
You know that I know women's hearts...
so amazingly well.
I'm a ghost, a ghost.
I can't be fooled.
That's a lie.
The weather's nice. The air is good.
Hey, this is your clothes...
It's your clothes, right?
I'm leaving it here.
Thank you.
Really, there's no point to raising these black furry heads.
They're only cramming that food in by themselves.
I'm going.
These brats.
Oh, oh, Mother, I'm late.
Really.
Hey, before you go, eat this at least before you go.
I don't have time to eat that.
Mother, last night I asked you to wake me.
I have to get a seat in the library.
I completely forgot.
I'm so very sorry, but you still can't skip breakfast.
Here, take this and eat it at school.
Aiyoo, it's fine.
You didn't iron my shirt.
I have no clothes to wear. Please iron it by today.
Ok.
Yoon Jin, hurry up and wash and come down to eat.
Aigoo, isn't it nice now that your room is clean.
Ahjumma, while you weren't here yesterday, cleaned all day.
If you're thankful,
eat one whole bowl of rice for breakfast.
All right, you understand.
Ahjumma.
By chance, did you speak to my father?
Oh, yesterday your father called while you weren't here.
What did you tell him?
What? I didn't say much to him.
What did you talk about?
Well, that you eat well.
You're getting along well with the other boarding children.
And also?
Also,
you may have some concerns these days about not wanting to go to school...
Ah, why did you say something like that?!
I'm not on good terms with my father right now.
I would like it if Father didn't know anything to do with me.
Is that so?
I didn't know.
But still, it's because your father is worried about you...
He's not that kind of person.
Also, as for that, I'll take care of it.
From now on, don't answer my phone.
I'm going.
What about breakfast? Eat breakfast before you go.
I bought the cockles that you like.
Oh, I'm dying.
Hey, last night it did seem like you were eating a little too much.
Oh, Mother. They're my hometown friends. It wouldn't be a problem if they stayed and had breakfast with us, would it?
Sure, of course they can. Is that even in question...
Hey, do you have any new socks?
You can wear anything there.
Seoul living after 4 months,
with the college's first summer vacation upon us,
Give us more in this plate please. - All right.
Eat a lot.
We became friendlier,
became closer and became more used to each other.
And exactly that much,
if we were contrite, it became trivial,
the gratitude faded.
Mother became taken for granted.
1994 early summer's daily life
was that cruel to Mother,
and was deeply irritating her.
Mother was hurt.
You ate all my marshmallows again, didn't you?
I didn't eat it.
I don't even know what marshmallows look like.
Confess and I'll finish it with one hit.
There has to be something to confess about for me to confess.
Wench, don't be so distrustful of people.
Really, right?
Are you calling those words? I really didn't eat it.
It's something that they don't even have in Korea.
My friend sent them to me from Japan.
Even I only eat one a day because they're so precious. Do you know?
I know.
If not, you're dead.
Hey, hit me once, hit me in the head, and pull all my hair out.
What, do you think one day I won't be beaten and killed by you?
It's really not you, right?
How many times do you have to ask? Your mouth will be worn out.
If it's not you, that's fine.
Oppa do you have the 2nd volume of Exorcism (Fantasy novel) right?
2nd volume? Did you already read all of the first volume?
Yes, it was readable all in one shot.
You have the second volume right?
I don't have it. I loaned it to a friend.
It's already been a month and he hasn't returned it so I'm thinking he forgot about it.
You go to the bookstore too and just borrow one.
You're really not a help to my life at all.
Hey, Jeong.
What?
Come here a minute. Oppa has something to say to you.
Put your ear here, it's a secret.
Subtitles brought to you by The Class Of 1994 Team @ VIKI
Oppa,
Seunghee in the 2nd Volume...
She becomes the exorcist.
Oh, my head.
Oppa, really.
Oh my head hurts.
It's so sweet.
I don't get why she likes it.
Hey, we're leaving!
- Are you leaving now? - Yes.- You're going to Gangwon Province?
There's going to be a lot of traffic.
Aigoo, well if we run into traffic on the way, we can just eat udon at the resting place and then go.
I will wait for you outside. It's so stuffy in here.
Wait...
Dad, Mom is still in a bad mood, right?
Why? Did something happen?
Kids made a scene. They treat her like they would to their own moms.
I know right.
What bad fate does she have to run a dormitory house and be this tired all the time?
In this world where my own kid doesn't listen to me, how would other kids listen?
If this keeps going on, your mom is going to be seriously ill.
You'll have a hard time on the trip, Dad.
Mom was already in a bad condition without this happening.
Well, taking a hot spring bath might make her feel better.
By the way, if you call over the kids and drink, I'm going to kill you.
Dad, why are you saying that to me? You should say that to Jeong.
I quit drinking.
I mean you should take care of your sister better.
If you touch my whiskey like the last time,
I will put you two in paulownia coffins.
Dad, I don't even know where that is.
And who drinks whiskey these days? We get sloshed drinking soju.
Aigoo, my daughter who can't even speak properly I'll just tear off your mouth.
I'll look over her so please leave now. Mom is waiting.
I've drawn a line on my whiskey bottle. It's 7.5cm from the bottom, you hear me?
- If you drink it, I'll just kill you. - Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Computer Science Department Office.
Eagle Teahouse. Waiter part-time job. 3pm-10pm.1800 won per hour.
Summer volunteer. June 25-July 5. South Chungcheong Yesan.Direct questions to Computer Science Head Student.
What?
I came here from the boonies and now I have to go back again?
Good job.
Why did it take so long? Let's hurry. Kids are waiting.
Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Let's stop by at the post office.
Again?
Let's go.
Stop going there.
I'm going to die. How many times do I have to say the same thing?
My beeper's battery died.
I was going to replace it.
I was going to replace it but the supermarket was closed. What could I do?
Seoul is dark at night too!
I went to the playstation and bought a CD this morning. I said I bought a CD!
I was the first one to buy Blue Sky's live CD for you!
It's my fault.
Sorry. Really.
Morbid jealousy, morbid jealousy...
This week?
I can't go this week. I have finals soon.
Tomorrow?
How can I go tomorrow?
Taking the bus from here to Suncheon takes 5 and a half hours.
Hey. Why are you so fretful?
We can spend the entire summer break together!
Why do I not care about you?
Huh?
Hello? Hello? Hey!
Let's hurry. The lunch break is almost over.
Hey, friend.
What?
The days of the college entrance exam last year...
There was once in August and once in November, do you remember those two days?
Yeah. Summer was really hot and Winter was really cold.
On that day, my mom said this to me.
"There's not going to be any huge exams in your life from now on.
If you get past today, your life is going to be an easy path."
But?
But that was totally a lie.
Living every day is like an exam and an ordeal.
Especially my girlfriend. She gives me exams every day.
Here. Try to answer this question.
The couple has been dating for over 3 years.
The boyfriend is in Seoul, and the girlfriend is in Suncheon.
But the girlfriend in Suncheon suspects her boyfriend every day.
She calls every day asking "what did you do yesterday",
"what are you doing right now", "what are you going to do tomorrow".
The guy feels like all this blood is going to dry and die.
In a situation like this, what is the guy supposed to do?
I'll give you options. Number one.
Quit his studies and everything else to go back to his hometown.
Or, number two.
He gets upset too, and shows her that he's also a short-tempered man.
What is the correct answer?
I asked what's the correct answer.
Can't I think about it while eating?
Jesus Christ.
It's a great talent of yours that
your stomach can make noises even when you're eating.
Still, I envy so much my friend that can worry about his lover.
You envy anything. Anything.
Let's go fast. I'm so hungry I'm about to die.
?? The flower petals scatters, ??
?? but nobody??
She said there's no time so just eat bread together.
Tell her I do not regard one piece of bread as a meal.
Stupid. Tell him he's being stupid.
She said you're stupid and you're acting stupid.
Talk nicely. Nicely.
Kiss my ass. You act properly first.
You can just eat anything for lunch. Why do you have to be so serious about it?
Hey. Do something that suits your face. Your face!
Looks? What about how I look? What about it?
What's wrong with it? You get rid of that curtain first.
You say sorry to Jang Gook Young.
If he knew you were called Jang Gook Young in Korea,
the real Jang Gook Young in Hong Kong will cry his heart out.
That would be such a disgrace. Disgrace.
Whoa, whoa, hey!
Ah. Seriously.
You stop it too.
Perhaps you guys like each other?
You crazy bastard.
I can't breathe.
Stay strong.
Why is Sam Cheon Po like that?
He was being annoying so I hit him.
Please!
He went at it with Yoon Jin.
Eat bread. You said you were hungry.
Forget about it.
Hey, Gook Young, hurry and get up. Here is the cornchip that you like.
Get up already.
Please stop it.
Of course, she's Jeong Dae Man. She doesn't know how to give up.
Why are you picking a fight?
Are you taking his side because you use the same room?
I got it. Today is the day I get cursed by all the girls.
I'll just keep my mouth shut.
Why? Don't tell me you broke up with your girlfriend.
Almost.
You deserve it.
You have a girlfriend, but every day
you go to speed dates and Rock Cafes. You're so busy
cheating on her how would the heavens leave you alone?
He's striking lightning on you!
Oh my. What is she talking about right now?
You can't beat her with words.
Hey, it's not meeting. It's major-to-major arranged date.
If you go out to have a college experience, it's considered major-to-major arranged date.
Also, if there's anybody that's nicer to their girlfriend than me tell them to stand up.
I call her once a day,
I send the school newspaper once a week.
Whenever a Blue Sky album gets released, I send it in the mail.
There's no genuine love like mine.
Why did you fight this time?
This Friday is my girlfriend's birthday,
but our finals are on Friday too.
I told her that I might not be able to go back this Friday because of finals.
And she told me she understood.
I said I'll go the Saturday right after.
Then she asked me what's the point of me going back if I don't even want to.
So I asked her if I should skip finals and go back on Friday.
But she told me to take my finals. She said it was fine.
So I said "Is that so? Then I'll go on Saturday".
But then she said,
"Saturday isn't my birthday. Why are you coming back anyway?"
What does she mean?
I know right.
Hey, women. Say something.
Am I supposed to go back on Friday or Saturday?
Which one is the right answer?
Shouldn't it be Friday?
- Is that so? - Yeah.
You idiot.
You're a complete dumbass.
Do you really not get it?
Do you not know what's the problem?
I said I don't know.
What she wants you to do is not choose between Friday and Saturday.
Then what is it?
What's your girlfriend's name?
Ae Jung.
Ae Jung,
I miss you so much. What should I do?
Kiss my ass. What nonsense are you talking about?
Your girlfriend doesn't care at all whether you go on Friday, Saturday
or even next year.
What your girlfriend wants is not a day of the week you idiot.
Here's an example.
I moved, but the house I moved into was a new one.
The paint smell in the house was so strong that I felt like my head was going to burst.
However, if I open the door exhaust fumes come in, making me keep coughing.
At this moment, my boyfriend came in.
What do I say? "Honey, I moved in today,
but if I close the door my head feels like it's going to burst because of the paint smell.
If I open the door, I feel like I'll die because of the exhaust fumes. What should I do?
Is it better to leave the door open or closed?"
At this time, what's the boyfriend supposed to answer?
Aren't exhaust fumes better?
No. It's better to close the door and bear with the paint smell.
It seems like exhaust fumes is the right answer though.
I'm going crazy. I'm about to lose my mind.
Then what's the answer?
Neither is the right answer.
The right answer is
"Are you alright? Don't you need to go to the hospital?"
What a load of bullshit. What bullshit!
What nonsense is that?
She asked whether to leave the door closed or open. Why are you talking about the hospital?
The door is not the important thing.
But didn't she ask
if she should open or close the door?
Hey, you idiot. She just said that.
"My situation is like this. What should I do?"
What do you mean what should I do? Open the door or don't open it!
He's stupid, isn't he? The door isn't the problem!
Before that, I feel sick right now and I'm going to die because of the smell is the point.
Bullshit.
Ask anybody passing by.
If a girl asks them should she open or close the door,
"Are you okay?"
Who would answer that?
I can guarantee that
there won't be one guy in Korea that can answer that properly.
If there is, I'll give you all my family's buses.
For real?
You just said so. You'll give me all your buses.
Fine. Let's do it.
After asking two people, it's game over, right?
Those two men, the extremes of human male kinds.
Call?
Call.
1994104101.
You have to open the door of course.
- That's right. - As expected of Trash Hyung.
I told you everybody answers like that.
Hi, everyone.
Oh, Bong you're here.
You know I'm on your side, right?
You're here?
I thought you said you had baseball training.
Ah. It got cancelled.
Hey.
Na Jeong's room was painted.
Hmm?
If she closes the door, the smell is too strong so her head hurts.
However, if she opens the door, exhaust fumes come in and make her cough.
Then should she leave the door open or closed?
What are you going to do?
I'm not sure. Isn't is better to close it?
- He's a guy. - He's a guy too.
That's right. You're a true guy.
Chil bong is a guy too.
He's a guy.
But are you alright?
All your family's buses are mine.
As expected, Seoul guys are definitely different.
He has the right brain which those country bumpkins lack.
Chil Bong, let's have a drink.
Yes.
But you have to go back a bit later. Is it okay for you to drink?
There's no training anyway. I just need to get back to the dorms before 12.
The freshmen are good at running, though.
Why don't I see Joon?
He said that today was his mother's wedding.
She got married this year already.
That's right.
Beep him.
Yes.
I won't take your buses. Just settle things with your girlfriend already.
I would be worried if I were you.
First let these two make up.
You guys still didn't make up?
Aigoo, just drink and reconcile.
At this rate, you'll start liking each other.
Hyung, don't say those words which don't even make sense.
Asshole, shut your mouth.
I'm saying what I want with my mouth, what business does it have to do with you?
That's so childish!
Why are you only being like that to me?
Oh, where's the wooden chopsticks?
King
Who's the king?
I am.
Oh, this kid.
You know right?
If you don't do as the King says, you have to drink this down in one shot, immediately.
Now let's go. King, say anything you want.
2
4
2 and 4.
"Kiss"
"Kiss. Kiss."
Kiss.
Boy, you've done this before, huh?
Who's 2?
Oh.
And 4?
What are you doing? You're supposed to do it right away. Go on.
King.
1
1 and 3, kiss.
King.
5 and 6, kiss.
King.
2 and 5, kiss. Smooch (in Gyeongsang dialect).
That's right.
I am king.
1 and 2, kiss.
Anyone do it. Anyone.
Who's 1?
Me.
2?
Hey who's 2?
I'm 2.
Hyung, either drink or kiss.
Hurry.
How am I supposed to drink that, punk?
Come here.
This is really the last round.
Geez, we're going to die while trying to get these two to drink.
That's right. After we drink this, let's clean up.
Okay okay. Let's finish after this one.
Nobody's in their right mind. Nobody.
What is this? Two of the chopsticks are missing.
What are you doing, holding this?
Oh, sorry. Sorry.
Hey, his too.
Yeah.
This is really last . Okay?
Oh my. You. Be careful of Na Jeong.
She's got her wink going.
She's going to start biting people soon. This is really the last.
Hurry and pick.
King.
I am the king.
1 and 5, kiss.
Hey.
What number do you have?
Yeah you two, at least reconcile in your dreams.
Who's 1 and 5? Let's hurry and go to bed.
I'm 1.
Who's 5? Who is 5?
Hey, take a look at his.
Not mine. Don't look.
He's 2.
Oh then it must be Na Jeong.
Both of you hurry and drink it all so we can finish.
Or kiss.
For a while, I just stared blankly at her eyes.??
In the morning's sunshine, I opened my eyes.??
That love, missing my times with you...??
Like the dreary wind, it passed by.??
That love, longing for you that I can't understand...??
My deep regrets which remain.??
Fellow students, our finals are over, and summer break is about to start.
Student from the countryside who will be going back to their hometowns...
Aish, I said we're not from the countryside.
Students who have to remain on campus and take summer classes...
I hope that everyone stays healthy, and for everyone to enjoy their summer break.
As we leave our classmates, and until we meet again in September,
YBS will play the last song of the 1st semester of 1994.
This song portrays the envious love of on-campus couples.
015B's "Long-time couples."
A-yo, you wanna dance?
Is JJAM's "I'm not going to stop," in there?
Huh?
It's ZAM, not JJAM.
Jjam. I'm asking you if Jjam's song is in there.
Yeh, it's in here. "I'm not going to stop."
I'll just borrow it for today and give it back.
Don't say that nonsense. I bought this for my girlfriend.
They sell that in Soonchun too.
Oh they get out later than Seoul.
This tape and
this.
This. I was going to send it as a gift.
This is Mamonde's (cosmetic company) "Mister Purple" that Lee Yeong Ae (actress) advertises.
Lee Yeong Ae? The "woman who's like oxygen"?
That's right.
I hope that my girlfriend will apply this and change into a "woman who's like oxygen."
And let me breathe a little bit.
No. There's no way that will happen.
I ate "To You" chocolates (advertised by Leslie Cheung) since I was in 9th grade.
I didn't become Jang Guk Yeong (Leslie Cheung).
So many times I let you down. So many times I made you cry.??
?? So many time I made you cry.??
?? Never meant to be that way.??
?? I only want to send??
?? Send my love to you.??
Let's go.
Yeah.
?? In the rain I'm standing here.??
I think Go Hyun Jung is a lot prettier than Lee Young Ae. ?? I'm all alone and missing you.??
Look she has no pores, no pores show on her skin. ?? I never want to let you go this way.??
Do you spray cologne?
Oh, after I work out my sweat smells so
I just spray it here and there, when I get the chance.
Wow. They say kids from Seoul are different.
Should I be like the city kids and start using perfume?
Oppa.
- Hyungnim, you're here? - Yeh, you're here, too?
Hey, didn't you say you had training in Japan for baseball?
Ah, the day after tomorrow.
Oh, is that right?
Oppa, Mom said she was almost home.
Already? Didn't she say she was going to be here in the morning?
But she suddenly said that she was coming.
I don't think Mom was in a good mood.
I think Dad really had a tough time. Dad said that Mom didn't even...
go in the hot spring.
Really?
Yeah.
He says she only stayed in the room. Do you think she needs to go to the hospital?
Jung,
my clothing.
?? The love that's all around me.??
?? And so the feelings grow.
Oppa, should we make some rice?
Mom likes rice with yellow bean sprouts.
Do you know how to do that?
Well, I can just... try to make it.
Should we do that?
Should we try making it?
Let's go. I'll cook the rice.
?? Come on and let it show.??
Aigoo. Seriously.
- Yes. Father. - Did you have a good trip?
- Oh. You came. - Give that to me.
Hey, can you make us two cups of cold coffee?
Okay.
It's fine. I'm not going to drink. What if I can't sleep?
Aiyo. Seriously.
Father, did something happen when you went to the hot spring?
Seriously, if only she would talk to me.
She tightly closed her mouth.
After we arrived, she just stayed in the room.
If she would be like that, why did we even spend our money to go to the hot spring?
Ah. That's really serious.
I really think she should go to a gynecologist.
I'll make an appointment.
Can you make an appointment?
Then I'll take the day off on Monday, so you make an appointment on that day.
Oh and just in case, call your mother.
My mother?
Yes.
Your mother and my wife are always talking on the phone.
So, to find why she's like that. Hurry and call her.
Hello?
Oh. Is it you, second brother? When did you come out for the vacation?
Ah. Father.
Your voice is similar, so...
Yes. Can I talk to Mom?
Yes. I will give you a call often.
Oh, Mom. It's me, youngest son.
Oh.
It's nothing but..
Did you perhaps have a conversation with Seoul Mom?
No. It's no big deal but..
Hey. Bring liquor. I think I need to drink.
Ah..that..
Father, is this the time for you to have a drink right now?
Then, bastard. Is this the time for me to dance? Bastard.
Okay. For a woman, the menopause
is that big of a deal?
Yes. Of course, Father. I heard that for a woman it's like a bolt out of the blue.
I mean, if I the husband is okay with it then it should be fine.
Don't you think so?
But still, Mother's mind wouldn't be like that.
At first, Mother was a little anxious because the day of going to hot spring and that day
occurred at the same time.
After you actually go there and you don't have it, it get's stuck in your brain.
Father, you be good to her.
Father, you.. there's more white hairs.
I'm telling you, Father, dye your hair. Seriously.
Hey, bastard. Dying my hair is not a big thing.
Right now, in this household,
the greater time has come.
I told you to bring the alcohol.
Father, in this situation, can you drink right now?
Then, do I dance in this situation?! Bastard.
No alcohol. No alcohol.
No alcohol.. Maybe other thing... Beer.. have a sip of beer..
I'll give you a beer. Father. I'll give you a beer.
Hello?
Omo, Secretary Kang.
What are you doing today?
You don't have any appointments right?
Let's meet today.
Ah. Let's just meet.
Honey.
Drink a cup of cold Misutgaru.
Shin Ae Ra is so pretty.
Even when she lives in that single room and even if she dries her hair with a fan.
Since she's young, she's pretty.
Hey honey. When you were at that age, you were prettier.
What about now?
No, Shin Ae Ra is much more prettier.
Hey, wife. As we get older the skin wrinkles, the eyesight becomes dim,
and memory becomes blurry. And that's a normal thing.
The time that passes, how can we use our power to stop it?
We just say 'yes' and live like that.
I..
Received the death sentence.
God's telling me to
stop living as a woman.
You need to live by just loyalty now, are you okay with that?
Hey, wife.
In Republic of Korea, is there a couple with our age who doesn't live by loyalty?
It's fine. It's fine. Everything lives as nature take its course.
But still, I thought menopause is like other people's story.
I thought it wouldn't come to me.
You try to find a way for me.
Hey, honey. To me that
is same as saying, 'Give me back my youth'.
I'm telling you that I can't.
And also, what are you going to do when you become younger again?
Like now, you would go through
many such and such heartbreaking moments.
I...
Every morning I wake up, I feel amazed.
You and I,
with all the troubles in this world and we haven't separated.
Under the same roof, under the same blankets,
living with each other till now.
Honey, meanwhile,
thank you for putting a lot of effort.
So now, don't behave improperly.
Just live as how heaven lets you.
By being loyal to each other.
?? Now, dry them all.??
Why don't you dye your hair? ?? Honey. I remember those tears.??
You look like a grandpa.
Hey, wife. What are you talking about?
Who knows? When young guys see my white hair,
they might offer me a seat. You might not know.
Hey, honey. Hurry and drink this Misutgaru. Ice will melt.
?? Everything is leaving and my dear held my hand.
Early summer of 1994.
Like that, Mom was preparing to part from the woman that
she believed in for decades.
Hey, honey. When you heard the word menopause, were you that sad?
But to my eyes, you are my woman forever.
You're lying.
Oma. How did you know?
Anyway, I wonder if kids ate dinner or not.
Ah. Stop worrying. They probably ordered some chickens and ate.
From old days, there's a saying that don't take in people who have black hair on the head.
Just worry about our daughter. Your daughter.
Aigoo. I need to iron Sam Cheon Po's shirt.
This taste really good.
Is it good?
Try it.
Mother, you didn't iron my clothes again.
I don't have any clothes to wear.
Why does my wife have to iron your clothes?!! You go out naked.
You're talking a load of bullshit!
Have you seen my blouse from my room?
You said yourself not to enter your room, you wench!
Mother, the soup is little salty today.
You stop eating!
Ahjumma, did you answer a call from my house again?
Mother, I'm leaving.
You're already leaving?
Yes. I need to get going.
Father, I'm going now.
Oh. You're leaving?
You guys talk bullshit.
Aigo.
Hey.
You guys are little bit too much.
Do that to your mother.
You didn't put lotion on your face, right? When you go to Japan, make sure you put lotion. Okay?
Don't worry. I packed it.
During these times, you've been studying hard. Go and have some fun.
Hey, wife.
They are going with the professor, do you think they will play? They are probably going to do some errands.
But still, I will have some fun in my spare time. I'll call you as soon as I land.
Just in case you're thinking about getting presents for us...
For me, things like expensive shoes...
expensive wallets, expensive liquor... Don't buy these, okay?
That's right. Don't buy gifts.
I've never seen a person like Oppa in my life who can't buy right gifts.
Why? I still use the rice scoop that he bought me from Songrisa field trip.
That's what I'm saying. Who buys a rice scoop from a field trip?
Oppa, don't buy and bring anything. Okay?
If you are having hard time making decision then maybe Omega-3 like that,
don't buy those things!
Aigoo.
Then buy me any cosmetics that sell at the airport.
If you don't know, just buy the most expensive one.
Oyster.
Seriously, you guys have weird way to send off a person. Aigoo.
You're going to be late. Hurry and go.
Anyway, I'm leaving now, Father.
I forget.
Mother, I'm sorry that I can't be here today.
No. It's fine. Hurry and go.
I'm going, Father.
- Go. - Yes. I'm going, Father.
There are many luxury streets in Shinjuku. Don't go.
- Go. - Aigoo.
Ah. Is today a special day or something?
I don't know.
Mother. Happy happy birthday!
Mother, you feel upset many times because we are being childish, right?
We always feel sorry.
But what should we do?
Out of this rough Seoul, the only place country bumpkins can lean on is you.
Our Seoul Mother.
There will be many things where we will continue to upset you.
Mother, if something upsets you or makes you sad, just think of us as your children and beat us as you like.
It's not expensive,
but the present underneath, we bought it with the money we collected.
Yoon Jin picked it so it might be little gloomy.
Ah. Yoon Jin, next to me is telling me that you can come into her room anytime.
Anyway, that wench.
Mother, we have no thought of moving to some other boarding house until graduation.
So please don't kick us out and keep us till the end.
Mother. I love you for real.
As much as I love my mother at home.
We all get used to the relationships in this world and eventually, we take it for granted.
The strongest power of a present is making the heart flutter and appreciating that
familiar and natural relationships once again.
It's pretty.
By picking the present and worrying about the card phrases,
and while we put our thoughts and our heart in them, you realize how much that person means, again.
Moreover, those thoughts and feelings will most definitely be delivered to the recipient.
When it's a dark gloomy night, then i>??
You have a package.
Excuse me?
Ah, yes.
From: Cha Ae Jung 75-2 Wooncheon-li, Byeollang-myeon, Suncheon, North Jeolla 540-799
Cha Ae Jung.
However if that familiar and natural relationship,
degrades to insensitivity,
now, any gifts or
belated efforts have no meaning.
To the withered orchid,
which was abandoned in a corner of the porch,
belated water and fertilizer are useless.
Before the relationship withers,
before you become dull with each other, a gift should be given.
Your heart should be expressed.
Ah..Doctor, can you say it again?
I said, congratulations.
Congratulations, Madam.
Ay, well, we came here to examine for my wife's menopause.
You must have done a lot of great things your whole life.
Heaven has given you a wonderful gift.
Oh my... Thank you.
On such a great day,
why are you crying?
Today is our Hoon's birthday.
It's not fun receiving a present that you've already known about.
By all mean, the most important aspect of a present...
is its surprise and unexpectedness.
The present that appeared at an amazing timing, as if it were a lie...
was more touching than a miracle.
Although there was no name or the address of the sender,
we could guess
who might have sent the gift.
Walk slowly.
Wife, we should go to the supermarket.
The supermarket? Why? You have to buy something?
To buy a hair dye.
You said you weren't going to dye your hair.
When our Sook Sook grows up and enters school,
he would get made fun of because his dad looks like a grandpa.
You said you were going to follow the natural law.
I think I'm going to hang on a little longer.
I'm already here, Mom. Year 2013, Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul
You are a senior. It's not the time to see a girlfriend.
Who said I saw a girlfriend? Did Noona tell you that?
Put your Noona on the line, never mind is your Brother-in-law back?
I don't know.
Hello.
You came?
You're a senior, how can you be playing around?
Hey Sung Joon, you should come home early.
I guess you are ready for your college entrance exam?
Oh, Sook Sook is here?
Eat food. Quickly.
Is your Brother-in-law home?
Put him on the line quickly. I have something to tell him.
Brother-in-law, mom wants to talk to you.
June, 1994 Changcheon-dong, Suhdaemun-gu, Seoul
Still it's the most expensive out of all the cosmetics sold at the airport.
Who uses these kinds of palettes?
How much did you pay for them?
This each. This one is 100,000 won ($100) and that one is 120,000 won ($120).
You should've just bought a rouge (lipstick).
Rouge is also included inside.
I heard it's Marilyn Monroe's sleep wear.
Wow, no. 5.
That's right, this is it. I heard that Marilyn Monroe used to sleep naked
but she put this on and went to sleep.
Yeah, I heard it too. I knew they sell this at the airport. This is how it looks like!
You really got some senses ("you have a good taste"). How did you know about this?
I just bought it because Ahjummas sitting next to me were buying it.
This guy has a quick eye for learning things.
You haven't eaten, right?
No, not yet. Just give me some rice and kimchi.
What do you mean? I should give you as much as this perfume's worth.
Take out some pork out of the refrigerator, Na Jeong. Hurry.
Okay.
How is that I only see things for women?
Perhaps...
Is it a 17-year-old one? - 21 years old.
Oh my, oh my, my kid...
Such an expensive one! What money do you have!
I took one from my coach's bag.
He bought 4 bottles of whiskey.
So I told him that I will carry one and brought it here.
Oh boy, everything you do...
is adorable.
Ah, really. I wish I could
make you my Na Jeong's husband.
Sounds good to me.
Yeah. Then, you sleep here tonight.
So we can watch the game against Spain tomorrow.
Sure. I already unpacked my stuff anyway.
It feels like an empty case. It's a joke, a joke.
Yeah, 21!
Let's see...
Please learn to have some sense, Trash. Please. Got it?
Rocky Mountain Marshmallows A True American Tradition
June 18, 1994
The day of FiFA World Cup, Korea - Spain Wake up! Wake up everyone!
Father! Mother! Wake up already.
It's going to start.
Father, wake up.
With 2 million soccer fans' interest,
the '94 World Cup finally has begun.
With their achievement of qualifying for the World Cup games, three competitions in a row...
For the first time in Korea's World Cup history...
Good morning.
Wake up a-l-r-e-a-d-y!
Ah, you're a real psycho.
Careful, careful, careful. Hey, blanket, blanket.
Has it started?
It'll start soon.
Hey, Jeong Dae Man. Wake up.
I definitely told you to wake up.
Hey, hey, what? Hey.
Hey, wait a second. Hey.
Hey, hey, the stairs! The stairs!
Out, out, out. Sit down, sit down, sit down already.
Sit down. Sit here!
Pull yourself together, seriously!
It's begun, huh? - Stop it. Hurry, hurry.
Hey, you get yourself together too!
Present.
This English word has two meanings.
"Gift" and "Now".
Perhaps, it means that the most precious gift is
present,
the very time before us.
Although we constantly bickered,
and pestered each other,
we leaned on each other, rubbing skin.
Those happy times.
1994,
we were spending, a gift like time, together.
Exactly 8 years later, June 22, 2002
An unbelievable gift came to Korea. Groom Kim Jae Joon and Bride Sung Ja Jeong's wedding day.
Of all days,
that day.
Mom, where is everyone? The day of
What do you mean where? They all went to watch the soccer game. the quarter-final, Korea vs. Spain.
What about Dad?
He said he's on his way.
I told you this day wasn't the right day, didn't I?
I told you to do the wedding after the World Cup.
Madam, we will go in now.
You go through this door and light up the candle just like you practiced earlier.
Wait a moment.
Are you out of your mind?
Can you concentrate on soccer right now?
Of course I can. Even people at the funerals are supporting right now.
We're trying to break a tie with Spain with a penalty shootout.
Wow. You seriously picked a good date.
You really picked a good date, darn it.
Then, mothers of both sides will enter now.
Okay.
Father. Hong Myeong Bo scored.
We are going to the semi-final. Korea is going to the semi-final!
Oh my, oh my, what's happening? I get to see
the semi-final of World Cup while I'm still alive.
What if baseball becomes less popular (because of soccer)?
Gosh, Na Jeong. You have two things to celebrate on this day!
Hey, later at the reception, let's get drunk like there's no tomorrow.
You came?
Na Jeong.
Do you want to see me practice and then go?
That time when baseball meant everything to me.
More than baseball, someone made my heart beats faster and
made it hotter. She came into my life.
See? I told you if you are destined to see each other, you will get to see no matter what.
You have a younger sister. Did you say her name is Na Jeong?
No, she's too young.
Anyway, just set up a meeting. Got it?
I will just do it like...
Let's sleep, sleep, sleep. Let's sleep.
Do me a favor.
What's your favor?
The hottest Summer in history had begun and
my life at the age of 20 was getting hot like the season.
