It's cold out, I'm putting it in.
Put this in the basement, put the plastic wrap on it.
Ok.
You need to dust it off first.
Okay.
Ok, thank you.
She tells me to eat.
Besides that we don't really talk.
How will you deal with the kids like that?
You can't keep doing this.
Just listen to me.
Those people could have said it to you.
You should have just kept quiet.
You made things worse.
Forget it.
She's telling me to act my age.
Just forget it.
I'll just live and die this way.
I'm tired, bye.
My goodness.
What are you doing?
- Nothing. - Clean the floors.
- She hasn't called yet? - Just forget about her.
How can I?
Just let them figure it out themselves
I was just worried.
No wife likes it when someone butts into their problems.
What are you doing?
I'm taking our half.
What's wrong with you?
You need to take that?
People do this now a days.
Honey.
They don't have money, they paid for their own wedding.
We deserve a part of this.
They make their own money, we only get rent.
What is wrong with you?
You're getting worse.
What will our daughter in law think?
They can work for years and we can't.
He should have told us to do this first.
He didn't say anything.
They need to pay back their loan.
- Your retirement will be cut off. - So we won't starve.
Will we eat porridge instead of rice?
I'm afraid that we will. What if we live to be 100?
I'll die first after I see a grandson.
You live until you're 100, ok?
Stop making us look bad and give it all to the kids.
We don't have a great image anyways.
Sister in law it's my fault.
I wasn't thinking.
I never meant to upset you.
I was just, just...
- What did you say? - We aren't even rich!
Instead of lying home because we have no medical insurance.
What if we can't even buy fruit for ourselves?
- We need to do this? - When have you bought fruit?
You always get it from my brother's house!
- Give me 1 million. - What?
- How can we have that much money! - That is why I'm trying to save!
Please stop over reacting!
We have saved for 30 years of my pay and bonuses.
All I ever used were haircuts and lunch money!
There isn't much left.
$300, $500 that's nothing.
- Going to uncles? - Yea.
- Is it cooking? - Yes.
- Mom. - Put it in the kitchen.
- Jeez. - What?
- Why did you go over there? - How did you know?
- Did she talk to you? - They were fighting.
They have good energy.
- Did brother leave? - No.
How sad is this?
Yes Yoo-jin?
Sorry I forget people easily.
Yea well my work is the same.
Hurry up and talk.
Did you go to Yeon-joo?
I see, congratulations.
I have a pack on my face, that's why I sound weird.
Yes mom.
My mom is calling me.
Ok then.
You too, bye.
Stop being so clingy.
Yes?
- Im going to make coffee. - No thank you.
Hey!
- Did you talk to So-young? - Its been a while.
She doesn't answer the phone these days.
Does she ignore your calls too?
Yea, I thought she was mad at me.
No she's not.
Yes honey.
Is my baby still sleeping?
Get up and eat, aren't you hungry?
- Did you sleep? - I didn't sleep well.
Honey.
Are we doing the right thing?
No, what if she has a child and something goes wrong?
I know that's bad luck,
but we don't know what will happen.
A lot of women die while giving birth.
What if she gets sick while having the baby.
If that happens then what do we do?
Then we just need to keep quiet.
Yes, if my brother and Ji-ae find out they will be shocked.
They will be mad at us for knowing.
A daughter away from her parents.
Lets not think about it.
Stop don't think that.
Bad thoughts make bad things happen.
Sprinkle salt at the door and spit 3 times.
- Got it? - Okay.
I said okay.
No I really will do it.
Okay.
Bye.
I love you too.
Give me food mom.
It's past 3 if you eat now you won't eat dinner.
Then give me some milk.
You aren't sleeping at night what are you doing?
His back isn't better.
Think of his body and don't tire him out.
Mom!
That's not it.
If you tire him, he cant live long.
- That's not it. - I'm not stupid.
No that really isn't it.
Mom.
What was it like when you had me?
I thought I was going to die.
Are you pregnant?
Mom you know how old I am?
Fairy god mother says you can have twins!
I miscarried so many times, don't say that to me.
Then why did you ask that?
Go sprinkle salt at the door and spit 3 times.
Are you having bad dreams?
I'll explain them, come here.
So-young, we couldn't sleep last night.
I can't understand you,
we can't just stand by and do nothing.
How can you have a child by yourself.
Lets talk ok?
Aunt I told you to keep my promise.
You even told uncle.
That is because he and I are one.
You know that.
It's such a big secret I couldn't keep it alone.
My head was hurting so I was worried.
I only told him to feel better.
Hey,
how can you say that?
That is so unfair.
No it's not.
You broke our promise.
I know you like scandals so I didn't trust you.
It's only been 1 day, I'm so disappointed.
I can't trust you, just go and tell my family.
Hey.
Can I really?
- So-young can I really? - Yes do it.
I don't care, tell them!
I don't like scandals.
How mean.
An unmarried women getting pregnant.
She's not one to judge.
Your mother will faint.
Do it in the bathroom.
It's getting everywhere.
- Did you call them? - They're not answering.
- What about Hyo-joo? - Not answering.
They need to turn their phones on when they land.
How can you say you married me out of pity.
I am sad.
I hate someone who tries to pity me.
Lets make this clear.
We met in elementary school.
And saw each other in high school.
We both remembered each other.
We saw each other once a week since then.
Even when I was in the army you saw another man.
I never did that.
- You thought I didn't know. - Goodness.
You're really something.
You're so harsh.
We drank coffee and had dinner, that wasn't cheating.
That's what you thought it was?
- How did you know that? - You don't need to know.
Before or after that in my head and heart,
I never thought of another girl.
It wasn't cheating.
- Then was it your brother. - Oh my goodness.
How can you say that, it was just a friend.
Anyways if you want to break up because of my parents.
I'll tell them, lets just break up right now.
How can you say that?
Did you forget, it was you that said it.
- Why do we need too? - My parents are fighting.
She yells at my father and I'm afraid he will get depressed.
That's what girls hate the most.
I don't care if we get divorced.
I can't live with a mother in law who doesn't like me.
I will have a miserable life.
Don't say that about my mom.
Sons don't know their sons. All moms think their son is the best.
Mother in laws hate their daughter in laws.
So what then?
If we need to move in with them, I will.
I won't ignore my parents for you.
I will think about it.
Lets just get to that dinner.
Is my face weird?
I have wrinkles and my skin is sagging.
No you're pretty.
I couldn't sleep.
Because I was worried.
I don't know what to do.
You're so happy what worries do you have?
I know...
Do you want to buy something?
But it's too expensive?
No that's not it.
I'm here mother.
- Soup smells good. - Really?
- What's that? - Yogurt.
I see.
That's it?
She's making them these days.
My mom bought a lot of fruit.
Did Dae-gi arrive?
- I guess. - They didn't call?
No they haven't called.
- We can find out. - Just leave them.
You're really good at making yogurt.
You just plug it in and it does the rest.
Are you upset?
About Dae-gi.
Mothers are always sad when their sons get married.
They feel like a girl just came and stole their sons.
So that doesn't have to do with me.
Even great sons change once they get married.
My mom's friend's son never argued with his mom.
Then he got married and yelled at his mom taking his wife's side.
Of course you won't have that problem.
But you still need to be prepared.
Mind your own business we will take care of it.
I was just giving you advice.
I don't need your advice, and that wasn't even advice.
You were pick about your daughter in law.
The wife has the power these days.
You need to be careful.
Be nice to your husband and team up together against your daughter in law.
You only have him on your side until you die.
You're worried about stupid things.
I understand her, Dae-gi is the one that went crazy.
They need to be happy that's all that matters.
- Still she was so upset. - That's enough!
Stop pretending,
that you care and try to insult me.
- You're misunderstanding. - Oh really?
Stop father will come home soon.
Stop fighting.
Why do you two always do that.
- It's not.. - I said enough.
You make the kimchi pickles.
And you make the radish.
Right now.
The highlight today was your writing.
No her soup was delicious.
No it was too bland.
It's hard to make the right taste.
But hers was just so perfect.
He was right.
- Your words were beautiful. - Thank you very much.
Give it to me.
I'll give you some ginger tea.
You've been sniffling all day.
Ok thanks, my nose has been stuffy.
- Just wait. - Thanks.
Give it to grandpa, grandma and your father in law.
Put it here.
I want some cake.
Everyone come sit down.
Father say something.
We just ate, why did you bring so much stuff?
We are over eating.
It's bad for our stomachs.
You've never heard of that?
They each brought stuff so there is a lot.
1/3 of the people die of intestine problems.
And people in Africa live off of one dollar.
You don't watch t.v?
How can we eat this much with starving kids?
Father it is a bit much but today is a special day.
I'm just saying we need to be cautious.
If we are greedy we will go to hell.
Father is speaking.
Sorry father.
Marriage in the family should be discussed.
The world is changing so has our family.
- Song-gi. - I'm Dae-gi.
- What is her name? - Kang Hyo-joo.
- Hyo-joo. - Yes.
- Song-gi. - His name is Dae-gi.
We've been together 60 years.
- I see. - It's a long time.
Not really it doesn't feel that long.
Time goes by so fast.
- Yes grandpa. - Life shouldn't go to waste.
Live a happy life filled with joy.
Don't fight and yell life is to short.
- Okay. - Don't do what your wife hates.
And don't do what your husband hates.
- You need to be considerate. - Please.
Eat this and talk.
Lets eat.
Fruit and cake there is to much food.
There are so many starving people out there.
Our country hasn't been through hard times in the past.
That was all in our times, we made this country this way.
My mother started off with a noodle business.
I only ate noodles.
Where are you going?
I have indigestion I want to walk.
There are mosquitoes outside.
- We should put the mosquito smoke. - I will do it.
- I'll get it. - No I will do it.
- Sit down. - I ordered some gas.
They said they would come at 8. Sorry but I must go.
No need to stand up.
This is filled with sugar.
White sugar and flour is bad for you.
We need to eat black beans.
Yes father.
Yes father beans are good.
I'm so curious.
Was he like that when he was younger?
He was born that way.
It wasn't that bad when he was young.
I was the same way.
We would lay out a blanket.
And just talk.
Really?
After we got older things slowed down.
At least he isn't sick.
It's better than being sick.
I can't stop him anymore.
You really are an amazing women.
The gas is here.
- Thank you for dinner. - Get home safely.
The moon is bright.
Yes.
They fight so much these days.
- I just sense it. - You do?
Couples fight because of money.
When we get to that age I hope that's not us.
Except us.
People say that while fighting you need to give in and say ok.
Yea they fight so much.
It's my brother's fault.
He gets upset so easily.
I know.
Because of Dae-gi I think they made up earlier.
That won't last long.
I picked out the problem and let her know.
It's so pretty.
In our globe we have places like this?
Its like the Maldives.
The land of dreams.
Why aren't there any people?
Since the plane she had diarrhea.
Why?
She starved and just started eating everything.
She wouldn't let me take any pictures.
So you just shot her back.
- Did you do fun stuff? - No.
No we just ate, slept, then ate more and slept more.
We would walk and go in the water.
I thought it was a waste.
Marriage is trying.
Hy-joo was sick because of stress.
- What time will you go? - What time should we?
You need to go to your families.
Will you go after breakfast or after lunch?
I won't go.
What?
- Your family came. - They just came to watch.
They don't care about me.
You said you didn't want a daughter in law with a family.
- I don't have family. - Hey.
Mother in laws and daughter in laws need to get along.
Why are you trying to pick at me?
Sorry, about that.
This is nice, I'll make my screen saver this one.
I like that one the best.
She's pretty.
I'll put it in his computer, see it there.
Stop saying computer, like that.
Just text them to me.
Okay then.
- Dad go to your spot. - Go and sit.
Did you take your medicine?
- I'll take it when I sleep. - Do you want it now?
I'll take it when I sleep.
- I put blueberries in it. - That was the noise.
- Lets eat. - Ok.
Always make breakfast for him before work.
- Don't give him bread either. - We will take care of that.
I fed him a hot breakfast for 30 years.
Yes she was good about that.
Even when he was born she made me breakfast.
She only didn't make me breakfast 3 times.
That's why I'm so healthy.
I didn't know you felt that way.
I'm surprised.
Should I eat the medicine now?
Ok.
She's so stubborn, you two just eat what you want.
You should buy them a yogurt machine.
They can buy one.
Its good for you, buy one.
My intestine is so clean thank to her.
- It tastes bad. - I hate it too.
Breathe.
It's not time for you to go.
You snore so much at night.
Put ear plugs in.
Use the machine.
You know I can't sleep.
I'll be up all night.
Be thankful I don't grind my teeth.
- Put ear plugs in. - I don't like it.
You've done really well.
- Really? - Where's the first sketch?
No need to see that.
You got rid of it?
I have it but it's embarrassing.
If you compare it, you can see how you've improved.
I did improve a lot.
- Lets go. - Come in.
Why?
Hey.
Don't show that.
- You got better. - Thanks.
I was wondering what you were working on.
- Good night. - Wait.
One bite.
I want one bite.
Just one.
So good.
- Mom will be mad if she knows. - Its ok.
She won't know.
- That's enough. - Hey.
What are you doing?
How old are you?
What?
What did I do?
You two don't think.
- Why did you bring ice cream in there? - Dad wanted to see me.
He showed us sketches.
He needs to be healthy.
- What? - I will take care of this.
Move it a little more.
Come inside and sleep.
- The kids are here. - Forget it.
The kids are here.
I know.
Fine then.
What?
- I need medicine. - Are you sick?
Hyo-joo.
- Is dad studying stocks? - Yes.
How long has it been?
- I wont tell you. - There's no hope.
Hes giving it to you.
- I hope it turns into a house. - Who will manage the money?
Hyo-joo.
- All of it? - Like you and dad.
Then we can't look forward to any money.
We will save any bonus I make.
I wont become like dad.
We put so much into stocks.
He's on the computer obsessing about it.
Forget it.
You agreed on it though.
What if we lose everything?
- We will see you once a week? - Of course mom.
We will come on the weekends.
Give us money for food.
Okay we will.
- Is Hyo-joo sleeping? - Not yet.
Bring the wine we said we would open when he got married.
- Tell her to come. - No.
Open it later.
- We said we would. - We don't need to right now.
- There are other days. - You said to open in on your 70th.
- You will say no again. - Forget it.
Lets just drink it later.
When I was in Singapore.
- A rich man gave it to me. - I know.
I saw it.
- Bring it. - I said later.
Fine open it after I die.
There wont be a greater celebration.
That's how your father is.
It's mom.
The whole family was here.
You really are being rude.
Dae-gi came and we all had dinner.
And your grandpa was talking for a long long time.
Hyo-joo was paying attention to grandpa.
- What did you eat for dinner. - Let me talk to her.
Its dad I haven't heard from you in a while.
It's good to work hard but don't over work yourself.
You need to be healthy.
- Why aren't you answering? - It's a voice mail.
Just hang up.
So-young mom and I are coming to visit.
- What's with me? - What?
Dae-gi's parents keep fighting.
They don't in front of mother and father.
No they looked at each other differently.
They usually don't look at each other.
I guess so.
After the ice cream incident I was watching them.
Tell your brother to be good to her.
I will talk to him you talk to her.
Only a couple knows that its like.
You need to talk to her.
Your brother needs to give up.
She gets mad at everything.
She suffocates him.
She is over controlling you cant fix that.
She keeps him on a tight leash.
- I feel bad for my brother. - They were always like that.
This didn't just start.
- That is a sickness. - Massage my back.
It's good to work hard but don't over work yourself.
You need to be healthy.
- Why aren't you answering? - It's a voice mail.
So-young mom and I are coming to visit.
Why are you so noisy?
You need to breathe.
You keep waking me.
I will live to be 170 years old.
- I don't want to be old. - You are already old.
It's gross.
We split the wedding money in half.
Yes mother.
If we could afford it we would have you everything.
Forget it.
Honey.
Sorry for not being able to provide more.
- I have nothing to say. - No It's ok.
This is fair for our family right now.
- Are you upset? - Yes.
We wanted to pay off our loan.
- Pay it yourself. - We didn't help with their house.
Dad was richer than us and didn't give us help.
Yes you always blame my father.
It's bad for children to rely on their parents after they are married.
Father built us this house.
- He wants us to live close by. - We have that apartment in Seoul.
Give it to them?
- Give it to them? - No that's ok.
Then we should take care of the wedding fees.
I wrote all the people and the amount they gave you.
Okay.
- Take it Hyo-joo. - Yes.
You can't say mother?
You said you don't like the word mother.
That was before marriage.
Yes when you didn't like me.
- You hold grudges. - Sorry mother.
- Will you do that to Dae-gi. - That is my business.
Our family men are blabber mouths.
Say what you want.
No my grandfather.
- You're leaving. - We need to unpack.
- Go and eat first. - We have a lot to do.
How can you say that?
I am no blabber mouth.
It's true.
It came out, sorry.
When did I say anything?
- You are a blabber mouth. - When have I?
Give me an example.
- You really don't know? - Excuse me?
You always put me in awkward situations.
- Did you forget. - Aside from the ice cream situation tell me.
My wife doesn't like you, my wife says am I a slave?
My wife says that she snores all night I can't sleep.
I was just sharing details of our lives to our family.
Should we only say hi, bye and hang up?
- My wife says that it's sad he has no kids. - When did I say that?
- Until what time are you going back? - Just give me the time.
I will make a log for you.
You keep grudges.
Thank you very much.
For 30 years I know how you feel. Thanks.
You think I don't have complaints?
You're so grumpy.
- Giving my mom $50. - I did that once.
We were young and didn't have money.
And at my office parties showing up like a witch.
You want me to come in mink and jewels?
You think its your doing that we aren't rich?
- Hello. - Hi.
Are you upset sending Dae-gi?
- Are you here to comfort me? - Part of it.
I want your opinion on something.
Your husband is running for election?
What?
I feel like I'm running against someone.
- You're so funny. - What is it?
- You're the smartest in the family. - Just tell me.
Its about my friend.
- What is the right thing to do. - Just say it already.
My friend's niece,
got pregnant.
And that friend saw that niece at the mall. She's not married.
How shocking is that.
But the niece wont tell who the father is.
She just tells the aunt to keep quiet.
And she is making sure the aunt stays quiet.
Understand?
They don't see their daughter?
No their daughter's job is in the country side.
- She visits, but can't now. - So what's the point?
Do we need to tell the parents?
You need to tell them.
- Really? - Its a parent's right to know.
Making a fool out of the parent while you know.
I would never forgive that.
But then the family will be shocked.
It needs to happen.
There is no such thing as secrets.
I was worried about you.
Your blood pressure is fine.
You followed my instructions.
Yes.
- Are you exercising. - Just some stretching.
Just some yoga.
- Aren't you nervous? - No.
- Are you sleeping? - Some what.
- Do you walk. - Yes at night.
It is true we are just watching.
They don't know anything.
- I feel so guilty. - Me too.
They don't have a clue.
What do we do?
- What are you doing. - Just wait a minute.
- Go away. - Just stay still.
Get out mother is home.
She isn't watching.
- Its ok. - What is with you?
Get out.
- Are you gonna spray me with that? - Yes so get out.
You are so sexy today.
I just wanted to hug my wife.
Just let me do it.
Okay.
Let me poor the water.
We cant tell mother and father so,
we need to find the right time.
Or should I just go to the hospital and help her?
I should drink with my brother and tell him.
- Should we? - Should we?
- She will be so shocked. - This is shocking news.
Her unmarried daughter like that.
- Should we? - Lets do it.
You know Dae-gi is younger than you.
- Why only half? - You need to eat lunch.
Get married soon.
Grandpa is waiting.
- What about So-young? - She's already 36.
She likes being alone.
I give up 80% on her.
- Mom. - Marriage isn't totally necessary.
She only knows work, and she will be successful.
Mom.
Im getting upset, you want me to just get married?
- Men need to get married. - Mom wants you to get married.
You need to get married.
Marriage isn't a joke.
I wont get married until I'm a successful lawyer.
Never before that.
When I'm 40?
Ok good luck with that.
He always gets calls from girls.
So why cant he pick one and marry her?
I know.
- We go during the night. - When everyone is sleeping.
Where?
- Where? - Who's house?
We can call them.
- No we can't. - Or text them.
- Are you joking? - I'm so nervous.
Mom we are tired.
Mom I'm in a bad mood go in and sleep.
- Mom. - You scared me.
- Goodness you scared me. - Go and sleep.
What will you do when I go to bed?
- We are going for a walk. - You always go without me.
Just go.
Ok we might be late, don't wait up.
Wear a longer shirt.
- Take the mosquito spray. - Don't worry.
Its cold take a sweater.
Just drink one can.
- You are still sick. - One is ok.
- It's cold. - Want this?
You're here already.
Are there any mosquitoes?
I'm not sure.
- Why is there four? - One for each person.
- Call Hwi-myung. - We didn't call them.
- We.. - Don't exclude them.
We need to tell you something.
- Really? - Yes.
- Okay then. - Its cold.
- Do you want this? - Its too cold for beer at night.
- Should we go some where? - No just drink.
- Just drink half. - It's okay.
- Cheers. - Honey no.

- Cheers. - Yes...
- What do you need to say. - Yes...

You said you would.
- Its better for you. - You always back out.
I am right though.
- What is it? - Tell us.
Well..uh..
So-young...
Is having a baby.
She saw her at the mall.
- Yesterday. - Hey.
Are you lying?
- How can you say that. - Wait.
- Sae-rom. - Yes.
Yes..
- Yes. - You said So-young?
Was it a mistake?
She asked me not to tell.
- What the hell is this?! - Just be quiet.
- I need to believe this? - Your blood pressure will go up.
I can't calm down! What did you say!
I can't believe this! Don't touch me!
Don't hit him.
This is how the two of you tell us?!
Why did he hit you?
He needed too, I forgot he had high blood pressure.
- What if he fainted. - I forgot too.
He hasn't eaten the medicine in so long.
She was right, we were stupid.
Take the medicine.
Take it.
What do we do?
There is a way.
I cant believe it.
She wouldn't come home.
Wouldn't call us.
It was weird.
I just trusted her.
How can she do this.
How.
- Get me a drink. - No your blood pressure is high.
I want to die.
I wish I didn't know this.
Its better than her miscarrying.
It's better than that.
- Get me a drink. - No.
How did this happen?
How did we not know?
We can't balm ourselves.
But I do...
Tell us your brat!
How was it to have a kid that didn't have a dad?
- I want to kill him. - Get out!
- The rumors are true. - You are still so arrogant.
- You fought again? - No we didn't.
Don't call me mom.
- I didn't mean it. - He is a blabber mouth.
- You did that on purpose. - You're so bias.
