Hurry, hurry, get dressed first.
Ugh... jeez...
Get dressed.
I'm doing it, I'm doing it.
. . . stupid pants . . .
What if someone comes in?
You expecting anyone?
No, but still...
Get dressed.
You done?
Yes.
Get out. Go, go.
Right.
Wait.
It's clear. Go.
Going.
Shoe.
Dad.
Where have you been?
Ah, well... A friend called me.
What friend?
From college. Not anyone you know.
But I know everyone.
It's late. Was it an emergency?
Ah, well... My friend is a single parent.
The child got sick, so you know, call here, call there, call me.
I'm sorry, Father. I should have called.
I understand. Try to get some sleep.
Okay.
Something isn't right.
A lot isn't right.
Make breakfast.
I can't...
...remember a thing.
Forget it, forget it...
...nothing happened.
Sweetums... Mirim...
I got a boo-boo. Here and here and here.
Hospital and everything.
So scary, the hospital...
Mr. Yu.
You seem to be confused.
We're strangers now.
Get up and get out.
So we're hurt, so we're divorced.
But we're not strangers.
Okay. Ex-wife. Talk with your ex-hubby.
Plenty of girls you can talk to.
What? Baby's fingy hurt? Shall I dial for you?
Plenty of girls... but only one you.
Hmph.
Mornin'.
Out all night, huh? Good going.
"Good going?"
Did Seungi call?
I hate grits.
Then do without.
Eating.
Eat and go.
Mirim.
If I eat your slop can we talk?
It's for me now?
No. For your ex.
My mom is coming.
If she finds out we're divorced she'll cream us both.
Why? You, not me.
That's bad enough. For Boram, I mean.
It's for Boram now?
Yeah.
Now we're divorced, I see what he means to me.
I can't sleep, can't eat.
Can't we just kinda not mention the divorce?
To my mom, I mean.
Lying to your mother now?
Exactly. We don't have to live together.
We'll just act like a couple when my mom's around.
For who?
No? Just for a year.
Six months.
Have a heart. Three months.
We'll act like we're married for 3 months.
I'm begging.
Mom.
Sit down. Boram.
He should see?
Daddy!
Hey, Boram.
Boram, ready for the bathroom?
Good, here we go.
It's not your day. Out.
But she owes me an answer.
Jin.
Sinyong starts using your office today.
We can't work in the same house. It's the same every day.
Good.
So weird.
What?
It's like you want to get rid of me.
I won't work at Mingi's studio.
Hm?
We'll go out, get some food and you'll never know.
Don't even bother asking.
Go ahead.
Maybe I'll just live over there.
Forget that.
Why? You're putting off the wedding.
Sinyong, that's...
Uh-huh, I got it.
But I can't wait till next spring.
We're getting married this year.
I've thought and thought about it.
And that's that.
A new piano school.
Here you go, new piano school, there you are.
Here.
It's her. Hey!
You're doing this yourself?
I was dropping off Dabin.
And temps cost money.
I need to save on expenses.
I see.
Well then.
Well.
Dad, I want to learn piano.
Piano? You said you hate extra classes.
I like her. Can't I go to her school?
Okay, I'll talk to her.
Off you go now.
Goodbye.
Bye. Be safe.
'kay.
Um, may I...?
Yes, ma'am.
No, I dropped off Aram, I'm heading to work.
Is something wrong?
I'm sorry, I know you're busy.
Not at all. No appointments this morning.
Jin?
His room. Go on.
Okay.
What is it?
Listening to you I thought of her.
My sister?
Mm.
When you started rehabilitation she said you'd never give up till you walked again.
We all said no. Remember?
Of course. Mom, you, Mingi, everyone.
You're right, and as time went by, it got harder, we got discouraged.
Even me and I'm a doctor.
She was the only one that believed in you.
Yes, she always did.
And still would if she were with us.
Probably.
Will you be okay?
Yes. With your support.
Of course. That's all I have to give.
I'm grateful.
Don't be. I worry what I should say to your mom.
Don't. I know when and how I'll tell her.
You just?
Pretend I don't know?
That's the hardest part.
Sorry.
That's good enough for me.
And if you need anything at all, tell me.
Okay.
- Fighting. - Fighting.
Easy now, a little to the side, that's it.
Good, good. Right there.
Looks good.
Oh, um...
If you have a minute...
Excuse me, a little to the left.
- The left? - Yes.
Hey, a little to the left.
Maybe after Dabin is home from school?
Can we look at the switch? I'm not sure where it should go.
What?
The house.
Nah, with this and that I'm?
If it's nothing, I'll hang up.
What? Really?
How much again?
Sure I can. Sure.
I'm on the way. Hold on tight.
On the way, right.
You'll be okay?
Uh-huh.
Don't turn off your cell.
I hate it when you do that.
Go. You've got to get to work.
Okay. Going, going.
I'm fine, go.
Fine, pssh. Going.
- Then?? - Yes.
She'll never go back to him.
You think she's done with him for good?
If she were this wouldn't be so hard on her.
It has me worried.
The sooner she meets a decent handsome faithful man the better.
Pardon my candor.
No, you're her friend, it's natural.
We've worked together 7 years now.
You should speak your mind.
Have you heard from Seungi?
70-30? I pay 30%?
You 70%. Me 30%.
You push me down the stairs and, what, 70%?
Who pushed you? You fell on your own.
Whoa.
Oh my??
If I fell on my own then this is blackmail.
Blackmail?
You want alimony too?
Whatever you call it, you still owe me...
70%.
Mr. Yu.
A new face?
Help yourself. Good luck.
When can you start work?
Don't worry. I'll be back next week.
Worry? Take as long as you want.
If I do you'll lose have your clients.
Not too full of yourself.
Shall we test if I'm right?
Hyongi.
You really roughed him up?
Yeah. Why?
Well, mistaking him for a thief is one thing.
But you get along pretty good for a guy you slapped around.
Well...
I've changed my mind.
About him?
Tsk-tsk. Ignorance is bliss.
One or two sisters?
One or two would be fine. Double digits, not so much.
So what?
If he's popular with the ladies, that means...
he's hot, right?
Not so bad.
Hmph, a man-eater, that one.
Here? The range.
You didn't go home?
Sure I did and she told me to leave.
I got you 2 weeks.
Hyongi, even a cow needs a wall to lean on.
Mirim's too stubborn.
She won't budge, I tried.
I groveled all night at her door, got on my knees, you name it.
Two weeks, don't forget.
You're stubborn, too.
70-30.
Number three, I'm surrounded by stubborn.
I won't give up till I get it, just so you know.
Hey! . . . ow . . .
What? It hurts? Where? Here?
- Owie! - Here? Here?
- Poor baby. - Mommeeee...
Here, sit, sit.
Here? Oops...
This is fun. I'll rub it.
That hurts!
Owie... No touchies...
Seungi, same old spoiled brat.
That's what I get for taking pity on you.
You said it yourself.
Would I ask this of you if you were my sister?
I thought about it.
You're a daughter to my mother and a sister to me.
I can't stand the thought of losing you.
That's why I asked to see you.
To ask once again if you'll reconsider.
Hyongi, it's all over.
No.
It takes three months after filing for the divorce to be final.
I'm begging you for the first and the last time.
Even if you leave Seungi, Mother won't let you go.
Your parents, your brothers, we won't let you go.
Hyongi...
I'm sorry... I can't...
Hyongi.
Have you eaten?
Sure, I'm an eating man, Yum Seungi, that's me.
Sorry.
For what?
I can tell you're upset.
It's my fault.
Don't apologize to me or mom and dad. Apologize to Mirim.
Sure, her, too.
If you see her, do it right.
It's your last chance.
I will.
Not all your other girls. Just the one.
That's no fun.
Okay.
She gave me this for you.
Bye.
Hyongi.
Love you.
Where's this go?
Anywhere, I don't care.
And this?
That spot's empty. Put it all there.
You got it.
Tall dudes are handy. Good job.
I use this one a lot. Put it there.
This one?
Not like that. Big with big, small with small, it looks better.
First day and already a nag.
Move.
I'll do it, it's risky.
Whatever. I'll do it.
I said I'd do it.
Bet you liked that.
I never...
You're no fun. Never have been.
- EEK! - Got you.
Easy now. Here, I'll do it, come on down.
Having fun?
- Mom. - Hello.
I was on my way to do something. I brought this.
What is it?
A coffee set, water, what-have-you.
Thank you.
You bought all this?
It's your cozy little studio, but I couldn't come empty-handed on her first day.
They're lovely.
And you, Mingi.
This must be uncomfortable for you.
More for her than me.
It's true. He's way too handsy, carrying on and such.
I'll never get any work done.
Is Jin out, too?
Mm-hm.
Hello. It's been too long.
- This way. - Thank you.
- Rib stew, please. - Yes.
Sunmi, special ribs for a special guest.
Yes'm.
Your daughter-in-law must be busy, you eating alone and all.
I brought my grandson to the dentist.
Doctor Yu?
Yes.
She's using him as a dentist?
They seem awfully close.
I don't know why he hasn't remarried.
He's still young. And a good man.
He could have his pick.
He lost his first love, but even so...
Oh, Dabin.
- May we? - Yes.
Enjoy.
Thanks. And a drink.
Yessir.
A drink?
You should have called.
I just wanted to drop in.
Hello again.
Oh, yes, hello.
Care to join me?
Of course.
If I didn't know better, I'd say you were on a date.
Listen to you. She's such a card.
She is. Join me?
Hm?
All right, but just the one.
You don't drink.
Just the one.
Sunmi, another drink.
Yes'm.
All done.
Good job, Dabin.
Finish up. And ask his mother to come in.
I need to explain.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
His mother has gone.
Huh?
Mom.
Dabin, all done?
Mm.
I think he's done for now.
But we should look at those molars we talked about.
Okay.
Is that all?
No.
Dabin, see you.
'kay. Goodbye.
Are you mad at me?
No.
You sure act like it.
I'm not mad.
Nuh-uh, you are too.
I am not. Why should I be?
Can we talk for a second?
About what? I have nothing to say.
This isn't for Dabin's ears.
Shall we?
Acting strange? Me?
Aren't you?
You won't look at me. You ignore me when I talk to you.
What did I do to deserve this?
What did I do wrong?
Nothing at all. I'm just uncomfortable.
When I look at you I remember last night.
Last night? Did something happen last night?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
It's okay. If I was out of line, you can tell me.
You weren't.
But thinking about it makes me blush.
That's why I'm uncomfortable.
Why? If nothing happened...?
You really don't know?
You stripped. Down to your boxers.
The alcohol raised my temperature, that's all.
No? That wasn't all?
No, you're right, you're right.
Well then?
Aren't you embarrassed knowing I saw you in your boxers?
I'm sorry. I really am.
I really don't remember.
I remember having a drink.
After that, nothing.
You should have just left me there.
You left first.
Me?
You don't remember going to the restroom at all?
Here, take this.
Argh.
Where's your phone?
Doctor, what's your house number?
Doctor.
Please wake up. Pleeese...
Do you remember now?
I'm really sorry.
I hate to think I was so much trouble.
You don't remember at all?
No. I'm sorry.
What got into me?
How about another drink tonight?
Huh?
If you knock back a few more, who knows?
You can make up for last night.
Now hang on.
Kidding, kidding.
I wouldn't drink, even if you asked me to.
Never.
Now scoot.
My son-in-law?
Kind, decent, smart. And well-off.
10 out of 10.
Then you must have been happy for your daughter.
Yes, of course, he was great.
No worries at all.
Good.
You seem truly blessed as well.
She's a rare daughter-in-law, to live with her husband's family.
Yes, I'm lucky to have her.
All thanks to your son.
No doubt he was a fine man.
Yes.
Welcome. This way please.
Enough about the kids. Let's have a drink.
Yes, let's. Will you have another?
I have to be careful. But maybe one more.
Ma'am, hangover soup and soy paste stew.
Coming up.
Here.
My friend has a son, too.
Enough about the kids.
I didn't mean OUR kids.
What? Do I bother you?
Yeah. A lot.
Teasing, teasing.
I need to go out.
No napping. Keep at it.
Yessir.
Mingi.
Sinyong okay?
Sure.
Jin.
Just tell Sinyong.
Stop. You said you're in to the end.
No take-backs, not between friends.
It's just that, well, Sinyong doesn't understand.
Understand what?
Don't take this wrong.
You don't believe in me?
It's not that.
That's that then.
Jin.
I only get married once.
I won't let my condition spoil her wedding.
Help me. For her sake.
Whatever. She's your girl, do what you like.
I'm taking a trip.
A trip?
Mm. Somewhere quiet till Magic Lily is finished.
Why? Does she bug you?
You have to ask?
That would tick her off.
I haven't gone anywhere for a while.
I need the time, my house is a mess, it's for the best.
Don't stay away too long.
Dad.
Hm?
What's this? Where did you get it?
Oh, um...
Oh, no. Absolutely not.
Take it back tomorrow.
It's a minus account, not to worry. Paid off in a year.
My real estate earnings are more than enough.
I'm not talking about money. It's dangerous.
Hang on now.
The last motorcycle we had nearly killed someone, remember?
You think mom will kill us over Seungi?
This is the same thing.
I want to enjoy life while I can.
What, I should live with no dreams, wasting away, waiting to die?
I may be old, but I have wants, I have needs.
Dad.
Love isn't just for the young.
Love is for all ages, old as well as young.
Love is one thing, tooling around on a bike is another.
Try working out.
I'll talk to Seungi. Golf is good, golf.
You think I'm an old fart?
I need speed before I'm too old, speed.
Before I'm too old to ride.
You can have it when I'm through.
I swear...
Hello?
It's Mirim.
Yes.
Listen, I called to ask you something.
Your restaurant. You still looking for someone?
Any luck?
Not permanent, not with Boram, just until you find someone.
Is that okay?
Sure. If you plan on opening your own place, this isn't a bad way to learn.
Thank you.
And thank you.
You're a lot better than the usual temps.
I'm glad you're done with that Seungi loser.
He was no good.
Mr. Yu, a moment.
What?
A new client. Wants a one-on-one with you.
I just get more and more popular.
See?
Yeah, yeah, whatever, come on.
I'm eating.
Work first, eat later.
I can't. They'll get grody.
C'mon already.
Eat later, come on.
Hi.
I should sell tickets, seriously.
The teacher, the student, they're both nasty pieces of work.
Now just as I told you.
Is she rich? Paying for private lessons?
All part of the investment.
Not that way.
Like this.
First I owe her, now she's a VIP member.
Have I got it or what?
Ah-hah.
You won't pull one on me, sister.
Try it again.
There's nothing I can't get, not in this life.
She's a serious clutz.
Very good, for your first time, that is.
Yeah?
Yeah. Try it again.
Acting like a clutz is hard work.
Shall I..?
Sorry.
Not at all.
Pardon me.
Take your time.
This is a surprise, what's up?
Just a lesson.
Boram?
Yes. Just today and tomorrow.
I get off at 8, so 3 hours, tops.
Get off? From where?
I'm going to work.
Working? Where?
Never you mind.
I'm watching Boram.
I need to know where you'll be and what you're doing.
Where is it?
Byonghi's restaurant.
Byonghi? Blue Bells?
Uh-huh.
What kind of work?
Will you watch Boram or not?
I've got lessons tonight.
What can I do?
I knew it.
Mirim, you asked ME, where do you get off?
#3 isn't cooperating?
"Sorta sister" #3?
No.
1, Soyong, 2, Yunju.
But that wasn't Soyong or Yunju.
If it's not #3, then what, #4? #5?
Soyong, Yunju, she saw them.
I've got a great memory.
What's her deal? Is she a Mirim clone?
I'm sorry about this.
I'm sorry. They're having a birthday party.
Party-shmarty, they should have rented the whole place.
I'm sorry, try to understand.
Drinks are on us tonight.
Beer, right? I'll bring it right out.
What the??
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Forget sorry, look at this.
Sorry.
I swear!
I'm sorry, I'll pay for it to be cleaned.
That's not the problem.
I'm sorry.
Hand.
I'm sorry. I'm fine, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
It's fine, sorry.
Let go.
Quit.
What?
I said quit.
Shall I talk to Byonghi? Tell her to fire you?
Just try it.
What's this, huh?
Forget it, I won't die.
Quit, please.
Mirim.
Who are you to tell me to quit? Who are you?
It will scar. You need disinfectant.
Boram?
Home.
Home? Alone?
Sunju is with him.
I'll watch him tomorrow.
When do I pick him up?
I'll drop him off at the range.
Where you going? Disinfectant.
I saw her on the weekend.
Mirim?
Yes. Her color was off, she looked terrible.
It's no good my calling. Look after her.
Okay.
And Professor Kim is going to his country home today.
He's been discharged?
Yes. He wants to spend what time he has left with his wife.
Oh, dear.
I can't go, but I should send him something.
What should I write? I have no clue.
Just write what you feel.
I know you're reserved, but you should write what you feel before it's too late.
What about the piano school? They just opened.
Not just the piano. I teach school recorders, too.
Father?
What's this?
Cake, of course.
I can take care of it. You must be tired.
Take a seat. I'm nearly done.
Don't worry about me.
Okay.
Recorder practice, choir practice, all sorts of programs.
Any ideas, just let me know
All right.
Here are my brochures...
Two of the same should be fine.
The card...
. . . let's see . . .
Did you eat?
Uh-huh.
Stop fussing. I'm fine.
Can't you tell?
Yeah, I slept great.
Mirim.
Don't you dare think about going back to him.
Stop.
Mom, Penguin is gone.
Penguin? Gone? Let's find him.
Stop. I wanted the divorce.
Divorce?
What's that?
Hello? Mirim?
Yes, Mother.
Don't cry, just tell me.
You got a divorce?
Is that right?
I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah.
Tsk-tsk-tsk.
No fool like an old fool. Tsk-tsk-tsk.
The old hag, here we go again.
When does your wife get back? She should hurry.
What do you care either way?
Oh, I care all right.
I have a bomb to drop.
One that will blow your head off.
Does she ever make any sense?
What a hag.
Hello Aram.
Dabin's coming over to play after his appointment.
Did you tell your mom?
I told my grandpa I'm going to a friend's.
Dad, let me do that.
Don't mind me.
Call me if you have any questions.
Goodbye.
Father, take a break. You've been going all day.
I was just about to go home.
Oh, another one. I'm leaving. You get it.
Okay. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Sign please.
Sign?
Here?
Thank you.
I can't say the words, I can't write the words. But I send you my heart.
I love you. From Yu Hyongi.
Is Dabin still with the doctor?
He and Aram already left.
Aram?
Yes. With Aram.
You send my boy to your house without a word to me?
Dabin said he asked...
You should have asked me. You just took his word for it?
Pardon me.
I'm just getting off.
I'll give you a lift.
No thanks, I'll go myself.
We can go together.
Together? Why would I go with you?
Listen...
If you think cause I'm alone... Well, you're wrong.
No, I was wrong.
I never imagined you were so shallow, vulgar and frivolous.
. . . Imagined? . . .
Oh, Eungi. What's up?
Mother?
What? When?
Hyongi. What?
I'm on the way. Dad's motorcycle, what about that?
Dad, Dad.
Dad, move it, quick.
Quick!
What now? What should we do?
Just get it outside...
What if I bump into her outside? You said she's already here.
What now? You can't hide it in a room.
Room. That's it.
In your room.
But Dad...
Hello.
What brings you here?
I'm sorry. I'm here to collect my son.
Hm? Your son?
Dabin, Aram's friend.
Aram brought a friend home?
I just got here, I didn't see.
Oh, her room is over there.
Thanks.
Right.
Dabin.
- Well? - C'mon.
In here, Mom.
Stand it up.
Easy. It cost a mint.
Stand it up.
You haven't hidden it?
Seungi? Did you get him?
He's not picking up.
What if he comes here?
Do this, talk later.
- Here, here. - 1, 2, 3.
- Hey, hey, hey.
- Up, up. - A little more.
Grandpa, Boram's here.
MOM!
Who are you?
Oh, this is, um, the mother of Aram's friend.
She's picking up her son.
My mother.
We'll be going.
Right.
What a surprise. You didn't call.
What he said.
If you had called Mingi would have picked you up.
What he said.
Mom. Boram's here.
Nana. There's my puppy.
My little puppy, how you've grown.
Aram. Nana is here.
Nana!
How's my baby?
Good.
This is for you.
And for you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Aram. - Ma'am?
You and Boram open them in your room.
Ma'am.
Boram, come on.
You go.
Why me? Hyongi, you go.
You know he can't lie to her.
Seungi's the liar.
You go. Now.
His mother will kill him.
He'll never make it.
Right. You have to go.
We can't stand here all night.
We'll all go. Come on.
Mother.
A word.
Ma'am.
What did he do?
Relax. What will she do?
He didn't do nothin'.
He lied for you.
You know that tears him up.
He's right, it's probably killing him.
That's his hang-up. Mom won't see it that way.
Whatever she thinks, he made excuses for Dad and begged for you.
Why should he have to do that?
Go on in if you're so worried.
What?
If you're there, it will be easier on him.
A burden shared and all that.
Dad.
Mingi?
You should have told me.
Why did you lie to your mother?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I should have known when Mirim didn't take my calls.
He's my own son, but he's nothing like me.
It's my fault, all my fault.
I'm sorry, I should have tried harder.
Anyway, they're not divorced yet, right?
Ma'am?
It's not final till the mediation period is over, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Is the motorcycle your father's?
Ma'am?
With what money? Did he borrow it?
No, not really.
No money down? On credit?
Ah, well, he said it's a minus account...
What?
What bank would give him a dime? The Crazy Credit Union?
I'm sorry. I should have stopped him.
How?
He's always been good at hiding what he's up to.
This is what I get for going away.
What a life.
Just do it. What are you waiting for?
You're dead either way.
Dad, we're allies, aren't we?
Allies?
I'm the only one on your side in the whole house.
We're on the same side.
Sides, is it? You're in enough trouble.
So are you.
What?
I've had to face reality since I was little.
Are Hyongi and Mingi on your side?
Dad, united we stand, divided we fall, right?
We could stand 100 times and still lose to your mother. Don't be stupid.
Dad, a beating together hurts less. Dying together is less lonesome.
Now we're dying together?
