Wild Chives and Soy Bean Soup: 12 Years Reunion
Episode 1
Ladies and gentlemen this is Captain Kwang Min Kyu of General Airlines, flight T480.
The plane is shaking from the sudden turbulence.
Please stay in your seats and fasten your seat belts.
Our plane will be arriving to Incheon airport in about 40 minutes.
The weather at Incheon airport is bright and it is 98 degrees.
We will make sure you get to your destination safely, thank you.
You call this cuisine?
If you can tell me what your not pleased...
Look with your own eyes!
It's all soggy.
This is business class. I pay twice as much for this seat.
Then the service should be twice as much. Understand?
I'll make you another one, sir.
No need to act all proud when it's a given.
Sir, we also have dumplings. If it's all right with you, should I make you some?
- Dumplings? - Yes.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Good!
Ah, yes?
This is my granddaughter.
Oh my! This person?
Ms. Jang Dal Rae. The department store must've scouted her.
She's the daughter of my sister's daughter.
She's your granddaughter!
- What? He's not pleased again? - I think I cooked it for too long.
Just who in the world is this person that's working you like a dog?
I offered to make him some steamed dumplings.
He's not at the level to deserve this kind of treatment.
- Should I say word to that person? - Oh no, it's fine!
We'll take care of it on our own. Please talk more about your granddaughter.
My Dal Rae...
it seems like I'm bragging, but I've raised her on my own for twelve years.
For twelve years? Then...
- she went to America in her teens. - That's right.
Since she came to me when she was nineteen years old.
Goodness, people talk about the American dream and all.
But honestly, you suffer in the beginning.
You're already busy as it is trying to raise your own child!
Can you imagine how difficult it is trying to survive in that environment, too?
She had to go through all sorts of hardships at that age and she finally succeeded.
She went to America with the hope of success embedded in her heart!
- She's been honored with gold. - Okay!
That's exactly right! She's been honored with gold.
If you're curious, take a look at her in person.
She looks so much better in person!
I only have two sons.
So I fulfilled all my dreams of having a daughter through her.
She had a double eyelid surgery and got braces.
Just a slight adjustment on a person's face can make you become perfect like that.
Get in line please!
If you want men to get in a proper line for her
they might have to line up around the whole plane.
Goodness, I really like you!
- Thank you! - Excuse me!
Where... are these dumplings from?
- Pardon? - The thing I hate the most are dumplings.
Pardon?
But these Dal Rae dumplings are delicious and the colors are very lovely.
It is one of the items that our customers are satisfied with.
The fillings of these dumplings...
don't you know about the dumpling crisis? The dumpling crisis!
It seems like you're talking about the dumpling crisis from 2004.
Didn't you know that all the companies involved got penalized?
What are you?
Jang Dal Rae.
- What? - Report him.
If the system is disrupted, or if the rules are violated on the plane
it is clearly stated that a request for an arrest can be called into action if necessary.
Do you know that this fork can be treated as a weapon?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Ladies and gentlemen our plane will be arriving to Incheon airport soon.
Please have your seats and trays in the upright position.
And please fasten your seat belts.
Also please lift the blinds to the window.
Mom, aren't you curious how much Dal Rae has changed?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Yes, Grandma.
It's about time to end the program.
Among American proverbs, there is a saying...
'Study the past if you want to define the future.'
It means, if you want to define the future then study the past.
Just because it's a bad memory, don't make an effort in trying to forget it.
Try going back to it today. For the sake of your future.
This track has been picked from the 'Between Calm and Passion' soundtrack.
The song, 'The whole nine yards' will end the day.
I will come back again tomorrow.
Hi everybody!
Goodness, goodness!
Grandma! Grandma, what about Dal Rae?
- Dal Rae. - Dal Rae?
Are you all right?
Are you hurt anywhere? You should've been more careful.
Thank you.
- Yes. - Yes.
Thank you.
There you go, you're fine now.
It's fine, it's fine. That's enough.
2002! The World Cup in Korea and Japan has finally started!
Yes, this is the 2002 world cup in front of the city hall and the support is passionate!
The support of the citizens is very passionate!
I can feel the excitement of the citizens for the opening of the world cup!
Now, the world cup will be starting soon. Let's see what the Busan stadium is like.
Yes, the long awaited time has come.
Four years of practice and forty eight years of waiting
our first win of the world cup has finally come.
The mood of the Busan stadium for the world cup is already at a climax.
And from here on out, we have ninety nine minutes to go.
The Republic of Korea!
Goodness! Goodness! Goodness!
How can you leave to the other side when your children need you?
That's why you left without even closing your eyes!
How could you, when this appalling and horrible thing happened!
Goodness! Goodness! Goodness!
How am I supposed to take care of our children without you?
How can the heavens be so heartless? Goodness!
Goodness!
She's a high school student.
Where did he go?
My youngest is an elementary school student.
- So we wanted to discuss... - Bring him back.
We don't need anything else so bring him back.
Excuse me, ma'am...
Jang Gook. Find Jang Hoon and feed him something.
What about you?
- Does it look I'll be able to eat right now? - I don't feel like it either!
You're not eating or sleeping.
Do you want to be in the newspapers as the
daughter also followed her father to the other side?
The adults need to talk.
What are you doing? Hurry and get going!
The Republic of Korea!
- It's okay! - It's okay!
- The Republic of Korea! - Is mom asking for me?
The Republic of Korea!
Wow, you're so good!
Jang Hoon! Hey, hey, Jang Hoon! I'm going to take it away! I'm going to steal it!
- I'm... - Dad!
Hey, no! No, no! Hey, hey, you rascal!
Put it in! Put it in!
I scored! I scored!
- Me too, me too. - Goal in!
Goal in!
Dad!
- Eat it. - Mom!
Eat it.
It's me.
I was really unlucky.
I had the lights on for sure and I saw it well.
But the car went out like that all of a sudden!
Hey, I'm a total mess, too!
I thought I was going to die, too! It was ridiculous!
I feel like dying!
I can't believe this! Why then and at that timing?
What is this?
My mom and the lawyer came down.
A settlement? Yes, they came here for that.
He was a delivery worker. Of course they'll compensate, it's a given.
Just by looking at the funeral's atmosphere, it's really tense.
- It's so obvious. - What the heck are you saying, wench?
Hey, hang up!
- Who are you? - Jang Gook.
What?
This is the money for your husband's funeral fee's and his full retirement.
I'm very regretful that this happened.
Your children still need to study and I want to fully compensate as well.
Let go!
Hey, let go!
The Republic of Korea!
Goal!
Let go of me! Let go!
Save me! Please save me! I said let go!
It seems like they made a goal.
This is the written agreement.
If there is something more I need to be responsible for, I'll give you more.
If you have any difficulties in the future, please call here.
What can be more difficult than this in a woman's life?
I heard your daughter who caused the accident is nineteen years old.
Why did you give the car keys to a child like that?
Did you say it's a civil liability of the owner of the car a little while ago?
What did the owner of the car say?
Then are you saying you're going to send the only daughter of a rich family to prison?
We did the best we could.
Did you just say the best?
He told me he was going out for a moment to buy some cigarettes.
He said it was raining and he came back in to get an umbrella.
I asked him to buy a package of tofu as well.
And then he left.
That was the last time.
Can't you see I'm doing the best that I can, too?
Let go! I said let go of me! You're crazy! Oh my gosh!
I said let go!
Someone please save me!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Mom! Mom, Mom!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
What are you doing at your father's funeral?
Did you settle?
- What? - Did you settle for money?
Do you know what that wench said?
She said it's obvious that your just trying to get more money, is it true?
She said she feels uneasy! She thinks she's the one that got screwed over!
- Jang Gook. - I can't forgive a person like that!
She's a murderer.
There's no need for you to act crazy like this.
Even if they cover it up with money, that crime, that karma will never disappear.
A person died, Jang Gook. Do you understand what I'm saying?
I don't know, I don't know!
I can't see dad anymore! I can't touch him or hear his voice!
Do you know how much I miss him?
So should it be an 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' then?
I'm raising children of my own, too. Sure, let's not go through with this.
Let's return the favor. If you want to do that then let's do it.
A mistake or whatnot. That person killed your father.
Even if we get kicked out on the streets tomorrow, if you want to do it then I will!
So go ahead and let it all out right now.
What can we do to satisfy your anger?
I'm saying what can we do to make you feel a little
comfortable for losing your father all of a sudden?
- I'll do whatever you want! - I was wrong! I mean it!
It was raining and I didn't know!
I couldn't see him, ma'am!
I was wrong, ma'am! I was wrong!
I'm really sorry about happened a little while ago!
I was just... I was just talking to a friend!
Dad! Dad!
- Please forgive her. - Dad!
I'm begging you!
Dad!
Dad.
Dad!
Mom! They scored, they scored!
Jang Gook, it's two to zero!
Come here.
Are you that happy, my baby?
If you're happy just say it. Dad liked soccer, too.
Dad, did you see it? We won.
Yes! We're going to the sixteenth round!
Don't just sit there and go home.
All the company employee's came and left. There's no one else to come.
Jang Hoon and I will stay here so go home and study.
- Is that the problem right now? - You're a high school senior.
Don't even dream about failing your college entrance exams.
Does it look like I can study right now?
If you can't then go home and take a nap.
Afterwards, bring some underwear for me and your brother.
After forty eight years... we've gotten a step closer to winning the world cup.
To me it was a tragic day and seeing how it can be a joyous day for other people...
I found out that day.
This is the forecast for today.
For the second preliminary match with the United States today
it will rain for the people who will be watching the match in front of city hall.
It will start in the morning and it seems like it will end in the afternoon after the match.
And it looks like it will be bright all day in Daegu.
This your forecaster, Moon Young Kyung.
Good luck to our national soccer team.
Son, wake up!
If you don't wake up, I'm going up!
Son!
Seriously.
Joon Soo.
Yoo Joon Soo.
- Mom? - Yes, it's me.
- Joon Soo! - What?
What do you mean what? You asked me to wake you up.
I have to be on duty today, right?
Now, now.
Oh my gosh!
Oh my... hey!
- Is there something to see? - Yes.
There is? Let me take a look, let me see!
- Let me see, let me see! - Mom, Mom, Mom!
Seriously, Mom!
You have to eat something.
I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep a little bit more, okay?
I feel so bad for you.
They said four hours of sleep was more than enough for Edison.
I'm just Yoo Joon Soo, an ordinary son.
I think you're much better than Edison.
You're good looking and you study well.
You listen well to your mom and dad.
And you get a long with your brother!
- Get up, get up! Quickly! - Okay, I'll get up.
Jang Hoon, come here.
- Jang Hoon. - Leave him be and eat your meal.
Jang Hoon doesn't have to go to school.
- Why not? - We're going to move, anyway.
He can go to school diligently after he transfers.
Move? When? To where? What about school?
To Seoul, tomorrow and I've already talked to your classroom teacher yesterday.
After class, start the transfer procedure before you come home.
- Seoul? - I'm going to have you study in Seoul.
What are you talking about all of a sudden? My college entrance exams are coming up.
I'm going to take over grandma's dumpling restaurant.
Grandma Il Sook doesn't have the physical strength to run a business anymore and...
If you're that worried then just have grandma come here.
In your eyes...
does it look like I want to leave Busan so I could take care of grandma now?
- I'm a senior! - Is being a senior so important?
Then just go with Jang Hoon!
Where do you get off yelling at your mother like that?
Mom.
Even so, how could do that without discussing it with me?
I hate it here!
The bus stop, the cigarette store in front of that street, the super market and fruit shop.
Every time I pass by it...
I feel like your father is going to pop out anytime, why should I live here, Jang Gook?
So what if you're a senior in high school?
Mom.
You can work your butt off in Seoul.
Your father's wish for you is to go to a national university.
Try entering a national university in Seoul.
- I don't want to. I won't! - Why not? You haven't even tried!
- It's no use. - Why?
- Do you know what a national university is? - It's probably Seoul University.
- If you know how can you do this? - You can do it!
You're ranked first at your whole school here!
It was just that one time, stop bragging about it.
I'll give you whatever you want.
Even if I ask you to make short ribs, buy new clothes or a new cell phone?
Seoul University, Seoul University, Seoul University!
Jang Gook.
I'll treat you like a queen.
Just don't hit me on the back of my head, you have a strong arm.
Okay, I won't.
Let's eat, my daughter.
Goodness, you too, Jang Hoon.
I'll give you some rice.
Yesterday, I think he played the flute a lot too, Honey.
The Irish whistle is not a flute.
It looks like a flute and sounds like coffee.
From now on, it's the summer for high school seniors.
From now on, it's a fight for physical strength.
So I was thinking, Honey...
instead of Joon Soo taking the bus, can't you give him a ride until his entrance exams?
He's student going to his father's own school.
What kind of childish remark is that?
That's what everyone says.
Also it's not my foundation, I'm a salary man.
When did we ever live by your paycheck?
By the way, the rent didn't come in from the dumpling restaurant.
Really? That never happened before.
I'll stop by for a moment.
Here.
- Mom, why did you wake me up this late? - Hey, hey, be careful!
- See you later! - See you later!
Boys, boys! It's going to rain in the afternoon. Take an umbrella.
- Okay, okay! - Get your act together!
- Starting tomorrow, wake up early! - I will, see you later!
- See you later! - Okay!
Bye!
Goodness, why is he so busy?
- Joon Soo's on duty today. - But why is Joon Sung running?
Because his brother is.
What about Soo Han?
You know he's still sleeping at this hour. What else is new?
Honey.
I told you let's get him married or kick him out of the house!
He's not my brother.
He said he'll leave if you give him a building.
What kind of side bursting kimbap nonsense is this?
You know how to say those kinds of things, too?
I swear!
You sister said Soo Han is not brazen enough to really mean that.
Why would Jung Sook say that?
I mean, we should give him a portion of father's inheritance before we kick him out.
Do you think he'll want to leave empty-handed? Even Soo Han has a brain.
- Soo Han said that? - We don't know that.
It seems that is what Jung Sook is thinking.
Why those little...
You're going to be late for school.
See you later, Honey!
It looks like you're going to be a bit angry because of your siblings, Mr. Vice Principal.
Soo Han.
Soo Han, wake up. Your brother went to work.
Soo Han! I'm coming in.
He hasn't come home at all?
Mom, Mom! Stop the car, stop the car!
- Why? - It's Joon Soo! Hurry up!
Goodness.
- I'll be in front the gate after class. - Okay!
Make sure to make it on time and...
Brat... how can she be that happy after a day?
- Of course we'll win, our country... - Hey!
- You scared me. - Hey babies, did you sleep well?
Joo Da Hae, did you sleep well?
Yeah, I did sleep well. I told you not to make fun of me. Come here.
- Hey! - Hey!
- Come here!
- Don't! I was wrong!
- People are coming, watch it! - People, people!
As soon as she saw your son, she ran like a crazy person.
How could you say your daughter is crazy?
In any case, you're in trouble. My Joon Soo's standards are high.
- Oh my, so is my Da Hae. - It seems that way.
- Seeing how she likes my Joon Soo. - Don't be like that.
It may seem like it now, but my Da Hae might have a change of heart.
- Sure, I'm not sad about it. - Hey!
- Are you busy today? - Why?
Let's have lunch at my house and watch the soccer match.
Soccer?
Are you sure you're a citizen of this country?
Today, we're going against the United States...
Are you sure you're the mother of a senior high school student?
Our kids studies are taking a back seat because of the world cup.
I know very well that Da Hae does everything she can.
What's with the nonsense?
Oh please! All she does is sleep.
More than anything, it's because Da Hae's father came home.
- Is it because of work at the main branch? - It seems that way.
Anyway, I have to make some kimchi and...
I'll give you some. Da Hae's father likes young radish kimchi.
I made some yesterday. Come over and take some with you.
Problem solved, right?
Brat. How did she know that my husband likes young radish kimchi? I swear!
My Da Hae and Joon Soo?
Well, our families know each other well and they do have money...
It's not a bad match.
Why am I over reacting with children? I'm going nuts!
Seriously.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!
Honey! I took Da Hae to school and I'm in front of the house now.
What time is the flight?
Please pack some of the young radish kimchi we made yesterday.
- Is someone coming? - Da Hae's mother.
I asked her over for lunch, but can you make a simple, cold noodle dish for us?
Sure.
You must be very close to Da Hae's mother.
She was my classmate in elementary school. All together with Da Hae's mom and dad.
- Isn't it wonderful? - It is.
To still have your fates joined all this time.
Yes. We really don't know what a person's fate is.
Please use this to brew the coffee and bring it to the living room.
Okay.
And we really don't know a person's fortune as well.
Let's see if you'll win or I'll win... bring it!
Now, the match between Korea and the United States...
Hurry and get going!
- Hey, hey, hey. - Is it him?
- I think so. - I'm right, I'm right, I'm right.
- Hey, hey, hey! - Grab him!
- Senior, Senior, Senior! - Stay where you are!
The Republic of Korea!
It's starting, it's starting! It started!
He kicked it to the side.
Hey you guys, get your act together! The bell has rung, the bell has rung!
Quickly go back to your seats.
- Teacher! - What? It's raining right now.
Do you need a beat down to come to your senses? Hurry and sit down!
- Teacher! - Get back to your seats, right now!
- Teacher, come on! - Look at you guys, look at you guys!
- Why? - Teacher.
Go back to your seat while I'm being nice.
We're citizens of this country, we want to be patriotic!
Yes, I want to be patriotic, too! Me, too!
Do you need to get hit to come to your senses?
- You always hit me! - Come on, Teacher!
- Teacher! - Teacher!
- Come on!
The Republic of Korea!
Hey, hey, hey! Grasp the situation here, okay?
Sure! The Republic of Korea!
The Republic of Korea!
- Stop right there! - Why aren't you answering?
The Republic of Korea!
Why are you answering now?
I got caught! I said I got caught!
I think they're going to kill me!
Over there!
These punks are getting on my nerves!
- Dreams? - Can come true!
- Joon Soo, what are you doing? - What is he doing?
- Head shoot! - Shoot, shoot!
I swear!
- What is it? - What's wrong?
He's bleeding! He's bleeding from the head!
They hit his head! How dare they hit our player's head!
Hey, student!
Student! Hey, student!
Student! Where are you going?
- Mister, where did he go? - That way!
Thank you!
Student! Class is still in session!
- Go, go, go! - Hurry, hurry!
Hey, hey, hey!
- Pass it over, pass it over! - Who is that? What is he doing?
- Take it back! - Steal it!
- Steal it, steal it! - You can do it!
Hold on, hold on!
No, that's dangerous!
No, no! Stop!
The goal could not be stopped.
Now what? I can't believe this! Seriously!
It happened because of you!
- Me? - You were acting rashly.
What... seriously!
Now what? What is this?
Joon Sung, speak slowly! Where are you right now?
Joon Soo! I'm... at the intersection in front of the pharmacy!
So where exactly?
Okay.
- Here he is! - Man, he's really fast!
- Come here. - Come here!
Hurry and come here!
Hello! Is anyone there?
Hello! Please open the door!
Hello...
- I got scared! - I was startled!
- Go in. Go in! - Go in.
Is your mom not home? That must not be your home.
- Where are you going? - Nice block.
He wants to die.
Why you...
Look at this bastard coward!
A senseless, skinny punk like you, dares to touch my girlfriend?
- I didn't know. - Of course you didn't!
How could you if you knew?
Hey, did you get together and touch each other all over like this...
We only kissed!
Kiss?
What is this?
- Are you having fun? - I'm sorry.
Was it good? I asked you if it was good, punk? How was the taste?
When playing with fire, it might taste like honey.
But you need to pay the price, right?
What are you guys doing? Grab him!
- Okay. - Okay!
Hey, you're going to get it. Do you know how much I had to run because of you?
- I'm so annoyed! - Stand up straight!
- Seriously! - I swear.
I can't stand this anymore!
- How embarrassing. - Who is that?
Joon Soo!
He's just a middle school student. What kind of absurd situation is this?
Come here. Come behind me.
- That's his brother? - I guess so.
- Goodness, I got you. - Where are you going, punk?
Hey, laser beams might come out of your eyes.
So what are you going to do?
- He's in trouble now, he's in trouble! - Look at what he did?
- What should we do? - Just beat the crap out them, sir.
Go easy on them, go easy!
- Right in his jaw. - I'm going nuts.
- Hold on a bit. - Seriously, he talks too much.
- You got this. - What's this?
Hey, are you taking his place? But are you his brother or his leader?
Who are you to interfere and act all crazy like this?
- I'm Yoo Joon Soo from Daehan High. - Daehan High?
Fine. Let's introduce each other before we start. I'm...
- I don't want to know an idiot like you. - What? An...
- What? Idiot? - All you had to do was get to her first.
If the bus with the girl came, then you should've gotten on.
Why are you whining after you lost her, punk?
How naive. Hey, you just wasted your time.
Son of a bitch! Are you done talking?
It was your fault, too!
Don't bother my brother anymore.
- Bastard! - He's just a ninth grader.
- This is more than enough. - Shut up!
- Joon Sung. - Yes, I'll never meet her again.
I don't like that she's your girlfriend either.
That's fine, right?
Joon Soo! Joon Soo, are you okay?
- What? It wasn't cowardly! Right? Right? - Yeah, yeah!
- This is what you call a good defense! - You're right!
A good defense against a defenseless person?
A good defense?
You're the one who came at me first!
What are you guys doing? Are you just going to stand there and watch?
- Put up a good defense! - Okay!
Joon Sung.
And just who is that? Hey, hurry.
- What, what, what? - Back off, back off!
You want some of this? Come here, come here!
Come here! Hurry up and come here!
- You better not hit me! - Are you afraid of me? Come here!
Come here! I said hurry up and come here!
Are you afraid of me all of a sudden?
Hey, hey, hey!
- Does it have to be this way? - Shut up with the crap.
- Fine, let's do this. - Okay.
In exchange, keep your promise. If I win, there are no grudges.
Got it! And if you lose, from here on out...
'A man's word is as good as a bond.' If you feel it's unfair, meet me after school.
Are you okay?
Move, move, move!
It stopped raining. Seeing how it stopped, do you think our country won?
Our teacher is probably angry. Let's hurry and get going.
- Senior, Senior! - Your nose is bleeding!
My nose is bleeding!
Goal! Goal!
Bring him here. Hurry up and get him!
It's going to be a tie! Goal! It's a tie!
He did an amazing head shot and turned the the tide for us!
- What an awesome head shot! - How wonderful!
- I can't believe it! - Congratulations, congratulations!
- Everyone is in tears! - It's fine now!
- Soo Han, you're here. - Yes.
- Hello. - Yes.
With a cold head but with passionate hearts and agile bodies.
We wait for our players to make it through until the very end.
Finally, the door has opened.
Let's go...
Pick up.
Seriously!
I can't hear you! Do you think you guys can win like this?
One, two, three, four! We can do it, too!
- You must be moving to Seoul now. - Yes.
- Live well. - Yes, I'll call you when I get there.
- I'll be going now. - Yes, take care.
- Mister, be careful with the books! - Yes, I understand.
[Jang Min Sup]
Dad, you know that we're moving, right?
Mom said she can't live here because she thinks of you too much.
This will be my last day of messing around.
And, Dad? I wanted to sing your favorite song before I left.
It keeps popping in my mouth and I want to sing it.
'Long time ago, on some planet'
'When I was about to be born'
'To go and give love'
'So that is what I did'
[Seoul to Busan, about 30 to 40 minute interval service]
After the enrollment procedures, you know you have to go to school tomorrow, right?
Am I a child?
Of course you're a child, then are you an adult?
My birthday has passed, I'm an adult now.
Goodness, all right! You've grown a lot!
That's Daehan High School over there.
Yes, Mister. Drop her off there and we can go.
Sure.
Since you've grown a lot, do well! And make sure to greet the teachers well!
- Okay, okay! Mister, please go quickly. - Jang Sook!
