What got you out of bed?
I'd hear about it if I slept in.
Not up yet?
Nope. She was up till dawn, thinking, I guess.
Not thinking so much as giddy.
Come on.
You heard.
After 38 years of misery she can finally let loose.
No wonder she couldn't sleep.
She just said that in the heat of the moment.
Uh-huh, you know how I feel.
Hm? You know, don't you?
. . . owie . . .
You okay? You checking your blood pressure?
Where's the pressure-thingy?
Forget it.
At my age, my wife leaving me, what do I have to live for anyway?
Father.
As of today I'm a widower.
I'm better off dying and getting it over with.
That should please everyone.
Woohoo...
I knew if I waited long enough. Free at last.
Dreams DO come true.
Hey, lady, ever hear of Golden Years Romance?
Boom-chicka-wah-wah...
Are you up?
Come on in.
What are all these? You'd think you're leaving the country.
Your dad get up?
Mm, just now.
You're taking all that?
I wouldn't ask a cat to watch my fish, would I?
Don't be that way.
Dad feels really bad about this.
When did Aram get in? I didn't hear anything.
She slept at her grandma's.
Again?
Well, I called to go get her, but she was asleep, so, you know.
So wake her up. It's not Saturday. There's that outing today.
I'll pick her up now. Plenty of time.
No more of this. She has a bed. Why sleep there of all places?
Where did this come from?
It's not the first time she slept at her nana's place.
First time, last time, her mother has been gone a while now.
Go get Aram right now.
Yes'm.
That boy. Too wishy-washy for his own good.
Hey.
Collecting Aram?
How did you know?
What else would you be doing here?
A bit early for you.
You work all night at the studio?
Sure. I was going home at dawn but Jin called about something or other.
Hey.
Hm?
Something wrong?
Sinyong's back today. A minute's like a year for the poor guy.
Five years is long enough for anyone.
What about you? You miss her, too.
Whatever, that was 10 years ago.
Come on.
Yeah, yeah, what are friends for?
Mingi?
Uh-huh. And Mr. Lee.
My brother-in-law?
Ah, for Aram.
Hey, Mom.
Hey.
Good morning.
It is. But you're early.
I'd have gotten Aram up if I knew.
I know.
Aram?
Sleeping.
I figured I'd wake her up when the rice rolls were done.
My mom's making the rice rolls.
Oh?
Yeah.
Well, eat something at least. Soup is almost ready.
No, I can't. I'll eat at home.
Aram has that field trip. I have to get her home.
Coffee, at least.
Mom, stop already.
You do this every day. You're wearing him out.
Every day? I didn't see him last weekend. It's been forever.
Wearing him out?
Am I bothering you?
No. Never.
She's got to get up and dressed, so coffee, yes, please.
You, too?
I'm good.
Hang on. You wanted to talk.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Is today the day? The in-laws are splitting up?
Mm. Why?
He didn't look so good. Must be why he hasn't been by.
I suppose. Knowing him, he didn't get any sleep last night.
Aram, sweetie.
Aram, time to go home.
Aram. Sweetie!
You'll wake the neighbors. Move.
She won't get up.
Aram.
Open your eyes on the count of 3 or tickle-tickle.
1... 2...
Sheesh, what a faker.
A show for daddy, a good morning show.
Daddy, good morning.
You.
Wash up, chop-chop.
Her mom and I aren't like that. Where's she get it from?
Seunggi, of course.
He's the showman in the family.
Hello. Yes, sir.
Now? Why?
Professor Na? That's not till the weekend.
No, nothing, sir.
Leaving so early on my day off, what about my wife?
Pssh.
Really? Well, that's that, then.
Yes, sir. Right. Yes, sir.
Ugh, what a pain.
It's just, you know, the boss called.
You know, I told you.
Mr. Na. We were supposed to play this weekend.
So?
So one of the members had something come up.
So you have to go?
Mm. Ten o'clock tee off.
I may not make it.
Why you standing there? Get changed.
Huh? Oh, oh, right, sure.
Sorry, baby.
You know you're the only one for me?
Ah, right, the children's park. Shall I take Boram alone?
Why? You were just there.
Call it off.
Okay. You get cleaned up.
I must have been awesome in my past life.
Best wife in the world.
Off I go.
What is it with you two?
You're both getting what you want.
A happy divorce, a second chance?
Enough.
Divorce? Just a trial separation is all.
If you're done brush your teeth and get changed.
C'mon, let's go, Aram.
What did he do wrong?
Knock it off, for his sake.
Neither of you are pouting. He is.
Why?
Aram. He'll be on his own with her after tomorrow.
Yes. That worries me.
He'll still have his in-laws.
Mom, it's not easy to remarry.
Not with me around.
Widowers with 2 kids have 'em lining up.
He could have remarried long since.
True, true, he's got my looks.
He can make a living.
Dad.
No one wants their girls stuck with a father-in-law.
Would you, if you had a daughter?
Me, well... I'll move out, of course.
To sow your wild oats?
Pssh.
I'm done.
Enjoy.
Me, too.
The fortune-teller told me, unlucky in a husband, lucky in a daughter-in-law.
. . . yeah, yeah . . .
Look at all this food.
I'll take ours. Thanks.
Time to eat.
Hello, hello. You sleep all right?
Why are you here again? I'm being discharged this afternoon.
Sorry, Dad, the bus was late today.
Bus? You took a bus?
Yep. Songhi's car is in the shop.
Let her ride the bus. Why does she need your car?
It's not that, Dabin has an outing today and I've got lessons.
Songhi's going in my place.
Well, that's a new one.
What's she up to?
Nothing. I reeled her in.
Reeled?
Yep. I told her one of my friends is looking to trade up cars.
She swallowed it.
Now you've got her number.
Good for you.
Have her make the rice rolls, too.
Way ahead of you. She's probably lost it about now.
Mom will be mad that I skipped the carrots.
Hm?
Oh, I'll eat 'em for you. I'm no rabbit, I love me some carrots.
'kay?
This is our little secret.
Not a word to your mom, OK?
Okay. Go get ready.
Yesh, ma'amph.
No. Ish fine.
Really? How about right now?
When does the chairman leave?
Yes, ma'am. I'll leave right now and get there before he leaves.
Yes, yes, got it, see you soon.
. . . keys, keys . . .
. . . bag, bag . . .
Auntie.
Dabin. Um, I've gotta go.
My field trip?
Oh. I'll call your mom. She'll come right over.
Sorry, Dabin.
If I make this sale, dinner is on me. Bye.
Still dressing? Aram will be late.
Just finishing.
What?
Nothing. Hurry it up.
Mom.
What?
Don't be gone too long. Think of it as a phase?
Like I'm rich? I can afford going to Japan for a "phase"?
Sorry. I'm just...
Never mind.
I've only lasted this long for you.
I would have made a clean break from your father long ago.
But there was you.
I know that.
But it's been this long, so one more?
One time, ten times, twenty.
You know what your father's like.
You know how much money he's squandered?
How many times he's broken my heart?
He'll never change, not him.
Forty years is more than enough.
I don't have it in me anymore.
I see what you're saying, but still...
Then leave it alone.
How long have I got left?
Life's too short for this kind of pain.
I want a little peace in my golden years.
Hurry up. You'll be late.
Come ON... There.
Okay.
Whew.
Okay.
It's okay, you won't be late.
I'll make sure of it.
I don't care. I hate you. Nana, too.
Now, now, Nana made you yummy rice rolls, she treats you good.
Why do you hate her?
She's leaving me and going to Japan.
Just to see your aunt, then she'll be right back.
Really?
Really. She'll miss you too much to stay away.
Oh, dear, poor little thing.
Mom, it's time to go.
Mom, you haven't changed?
What's the rush? There's no prize for leaving early.
We'll go when we go.
What do you want?
I'll load these up.
Hm? Aram left her bag.
What?
That's terrible. It's got her rice rolls and everything.
Guess she'll have to go hungry.
This is your fault, the two of you.
You know how particular Hyongi is.
He never would have left this if not for you.
What did I do? Why me?
You have to ask?
Who started all of this?
You, too.
It may be over and done for you, but you know he'll stew on it forever.
And you fussing at him about Aram staying at Jin's. He gets upset?
What is it with you?
Call your brother. Tell him to pick up some rice rolls.
Here. There, there.
Wait-wait-wait, I just needed to get something.
That's what parking spaces are for.
I'm sorry, I'll go now. Sorry.
Mister. You've got to sign.
Sign?
Sign.
Sorry.
Hush, what are you crying for?
You'll give yourself a headache.
That would spoil your field trip, don't you think?
Don't be a baby. Come on.
Taxi, taxi.
Taxi.
C'mon.
Stop!
An accident? What's the hold up?
Let's get off.
Driver, can you let us off?
Why not.
Thanks. Let's go.
Come on already.
Come on.
Go on.
I'll call from the airport. You'll be here?
What, sit around all day?
You have something to do?
Haven't been sleeping well. Headaches, dizziness.
Then go lie down and shut up already.
Fine, fine, call when you thaw a bit.
Go.
See you soon.
You're sweating. Poor little guy.
What now? We missed my field trip.
Who says? I know where they went.
I'll call your aunt and she'll get you there.
Where are they?
Welcome to the Pathetic Parent Club.
Oh, Songhi, it's me.
This is your fault.
I'll fix this.
The freeway? No, it's good.
Drive safe.
Where are they?
It's Aram.
You know her?
She's in my class.
You too, huh?
Hey.
Yeah, hey.
Dork, you're late.
You are too.
My auntie was taking me but she had to sell a car.
Dabin.
Dad, ask her.
Oh, right.
Do you know where the field trip is?
Onnuli Park.
Really? Thanks.
Let's go.
Mom, what about us? Another bus?
Hang on.
You can ride with us if you like.
No, we're good, you go on.
Okay.
Let's ride with Aram.
Mo-o-om! I want to go. C'mon.
- A little louder, huh? - Mom!
We'll talk at home.
No. Field trip. I wanna go with Aram.
Did you hear me, young man?
You can ride with us, really.
Here we go again, I swear.
Turn that racket down.
How is this a racket?
Turn it off.
No.
You the landlord now? You own the building?
No, but I pay my rent, I can do what I want in my own shop.
Women, ugh!
She's such a?
[Msg from PearBlossom]
Long time.
My son is visiting my sister in Japan.
A million things to do, u know how it is.
Not to mention the boy's mother.
True, I sent my wife packing.
Now your alone, you can go anywhere u want.
You like to travel, PearBlossom?
Yes, I love it, but there's no one to go with...
Going alone at my age, well, it's not for me.
Why? You there?
I want to meet you.
Meet and talk in ways we haven't dared.
Go to a nice restaurant with my PearBlossom.
Maybe a little trip.
Easy big boy. I should have waited.
Too much, too fast.
Why, do you like the sea? I'd love to see it...
Woohoo! Now we're talking. Score, Yu Wontae.
You're early today?
Boom-chicka-wah-wah.
I'll set something up for this weekend and you can tell me what you think.
Ma'am, I'm here.
Ma'am, you open today?
Yes, coming, coming.
I'm sorry about all this.
Don't be, we're going the same way.
Right.
You have the number I gave you?
Huh?
My cell number?
Sorry, can you give me yours?
Right.
Call me if anything happens, got that?
Okay.
"Got that?" Who does she think she is?
Go on. Don't be late but don't speed.
Right. Going.
Bossy. She a kindergarten teacher or something?
Ugh. Old fart clothes.
Got to take 10 years off, at least.
Kids today. Tacky-gaudy, I swear.
Maybe some fancy new duds?
Hold up, let's see his ties.
Whoa, whoa, tacky-gaudy.
What's this?
I thought he dumped all this stuff.
No wonder he can't remarry.
Mingi?
Hey, Dad. Mom's off. She'll call from Japan.
Right, right, of course.
Mingi, try harder.
With what?
You can't even stand up.
Me and water don't get along.
Check me out in winter. I got mad snowboard skills.
Yeah? Bring it on.
Bring it all on.
Okay.
Looks like an accident.
Wha?? P-pull over.
- Get the door. - Mingi.
- You okay? - Okay?
Here. Come on.
Mom! Mom!
- Mingi, call 119. - I'm on it.
- Hang on. - Mom...
119? We're on Highway 46.
Jin!
Mom! Mom!
Sinyong.
Mingi.
Hey, you.
I missed you sooo much.
Jin won't like hearing that.
I missed him, too.
You missed us so much you haven't been back in 5 years?
I doubt I could have left again once I saw him.
So I stuck it out.
Right. Good for you.
Let's have a look at your face.
This face isn't going anywhere. Plenty of time.
Phone.
Oh. Yeah, Jin will be waiting.
Jin?
Mm, I just got in.
Mm-hm. Mingi met me here.
- Mm. - Let's go.
Mm, right here. Nuh-uh.
I missed you more.
Mom made you chop suey, dumplings, crab soup, all your favorites.
Hm? Radish kimchi?
Radish and mustard leaf kimchi.
Radish, mustard, the works.
Okay.
Mm.
Grinning just from her voice?
Yep.
Tsk-tsk-tsk, some Romeo you are.
Can Romeo help you with anything?
No, time for your meds.
Oh, right.
How is Jin doing?
Why didn't you ask him yourself?
Couldn't you tell?
It's not that.
But you're acting strange.
Me?
Yeah, a little.
Ever since I arrived.
So?
So? That's it? So?
It creeps me out.
I'm worried something happened to Jin.
That's not it.
My stomach's acting up and I'm all, blech, no rest stops? Should I pull over?
It's like, jeez, not too embarrassing, right?
Really? Is it bad?
Is there a gas station? They have restrooms.
What's so funny?
Don't be so happy about it.
You!
Owie. Stop.
You like messing with me?
You started it.
I'm just sitting here and you're all, "You're weird."
Nope. You're being weird.
Ah, I showed Aram your photo. She says you're pretty.
Kid's got taste.
True. She started school this year?
Field trip day. She was crying over being late.
Hope she made it.
This way? This is odd.
They can't have left already.
They're not here. You got the wrong place.
I did not. Dabin's mom said?
Call her and ask again.
Okay. Good thinking.
I'll call her.
Forte and softer... 2 and 3...
She didn't know they changed it to an amusement park.
She hasn't returned my calls so she'll come here.
She'll die if her son isn't here.
So I'm stuck here.
The kids? How do you think?
Anyway, whatever, say hey to Sinyong for me.
You go on. I'll do this.
Thank you.
No tears.
There, there.
We'll have the tenderloin you like so much.
Yeah?
Yeah. Cause my baby's so tender.
Can't have you losing a tooth now.
Lots here. Ahh...
So pretty.
Take your time.
No rush.
Nurse Ha. I'm still at the park.
Hello. Hello? Hello.
Of all the times.
Aram...
I've got to charge my battery.
You and Dabin sit here and eat, all right?
Mm-hm.
Stay right here till I get back, okay?
'kay.
- You, too. - Okay.
Eat. Sit.
- Oh, a puppy. - Where?
- Hi. - Hi.
What's your name?
The number you have dialed is?
Huh. Did he turn it off?
Is his battery dead?
What's the idea? You nuts?
What's going on?
Nothing, never mind.
Who is this?
No idea. Must be some mistake.
You'll catch a cold.
Get back in the car.
. . . owie-ow-ow . . .
Baby!
I'm the wife.
Huh? He said he wasn't married.
He is. With a 4-year-old son.
Go. A Seoul bus stop is 10 minutes from here.
Get up. Or do you want another kick?
Come on.
Wh-where?
What about the car?
Honeeeee...!
Shut up and come on.
Hon-bun. Baby. Where you going?
Pak Marim. Hey!
I won't go. I'm soaked, I can't walk.
Even if it kills me.
Fine. I wanted to be alone.
This will do.
Do? For what?
I'll kill myself. You can watch.
C'mon, there's jokes and there's jokes.
Stop. You're not in shape for this.
What are you doing?
You crazy? What if someone sees?
Fine, I was wrong. You win.
- Let go. - Stop.
I swear. Lovey! Miram!
Let go, hands off, now!
You can date all you want when I'm dead. Why stop me?
Then you'll be off the hook, so why stop me?
I proposed, remember? I should die, not you.
But you're not dead, so I'll do it.
You're too much of a wimp, so it's up to me.
I'll die then. Then you'll be happy.
Sweetums?
. . . I can't swim . . .
What a loser.
I can't...!
EEP!
Why did you save me?
You should let me die.
Then... then...
It would have been over.
Sorry, baby.
I'm total scum.
Sorry, baby.
Oh.
Hang on, my car keys...
Cell, wallet. In the car.
Argh!
A little tight. How can you stand it?
Hey, drool-boy.
Cleaned up?
Yes.
Then let's eat. You must be starving.
Mingi, come on.
Hang on.
I need to say something.
After we eat. What's the rush?
No. Now.
Five years was long enough.
Remember what you said?
See the world, meet nice men, see what there is to see.
And then, then, when I'm sure you're the one for me...
then we can talk.
Jin.
Yes, go on.
I did everything you said.
Out of sight, out of mind.
I met nice men, handsome men, rich men.
I compared them to you, like you said.
Over and over and I made up my mind.
So don't turn me away.
- I want? - Marry me.
Let's get married.
Well? Will you have her as your daughter-in-law?
Mm-hm.
Mother.
Thank you. Sinyong, thank you.
You crying, too? Nothing to say?
Nah, I'm just, you know, this is my first tear-jerker.
I'm not used to it.
Cause you're jealous?
Yes, definitely, so much so it's killing me.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Congrats.
Thanks, Mingi.
None of that with other men.
Other men? Like you're a man?
What, is he a girl? Friends or not, remember the proprieties.
Hear that? I'm a guy, too.
Where you going?
It's a special day.
Champagne is in order. I'll be right back.
All the best.
A dog's shame. A dog's life.
Dog days. In the dog house.
Everything fell apart.
You.
The police?
Were they kidnapped?
Here? You kidding?
They're yelling for them, searching, nothing, why is that?
Two kids playing together then, poof, gone?
It's a snatch, I'm telling ya.
What's going on? The children? Where's Dabin?
Ah, Mrs...
Dabin? Where's my Dabin?
- Listen, Dabin? - Where is he?
Can't you answer a simple question?
What did you do? Your own little girl...
No, it's not what you think.
You said you'd look after them. Don't worry, you said.
Now this? Did you plan this? Did you?
Ma'am, we're searching now, try to relax.
Please. See, Dabin?
Shut up! Shut up and find my boy!
Find him!
If anything happens to him I'll kill you.
- Um... - I'll never forgive you.
Find my boy.
- But... - Find him!
I said find him! I mean now!
- Look. - Look.
I'll talk.
I should apologize. Sorry.
I got carried away, that's all.
- No, look... - But look at it from my perspective.
Suppose you walked up and Aram was missing?
Listen...
Yeah, sure, you didn't mean for this to happen.
I know you know you messed up, that you're upset...
that you're sorry.
But you lose someone else's child...
of course his mother will go into hysterics.
So we'll just forget about what just happened.
Would you listen? Dabin?
Yes, they're searching for Dabin.
There's no reason to think they won't find him, I know.
Where did you see him last?
Where and what time, exactly? Spit it out.
Ugh.
Hey.
What kind of man are you? Huh?
I have to faint before I get your attention?
You lost him. If I don't find him, what happened before was nothing.
So explain yourself. Where and when did you last see him.
Dabin...
isn't missing.
Sync'd by: Paul Yun.
What?
Am I an idiot? Being forced into marriage once was enough.
Well? Well?
Dad, what's going on?
Scum-boy did it. He got a divorce!
Open up! - Dad...!
Here, here, here.
I love you, there's nothing better
We say it each day, to the letter
Here. Tight.
- Bye. - Hold it.
Hold it.
Just wait, Mirim.
I don't know ur hair or suit style, but I will know my Mr. Y anywhere.
I know the feeling. I'll know u on sight.
Shall I fly home?
Sorry!
