Wonderful Days
And speaking of manners.
How would a boy whose dad didn't know
about and whose mom abandoned at birth
grow up to be a decent human being?
Isn't it a miracle that I'm here at all?
- Donghui, stop. - You bastard!
- Step aside! - You can talk to him!
I said move!
You don't have the right to do this to him.
The right?
I'm his father, and that's my right.
And you should be on my side, not his.
How do you know if he's really your brother?
Father!
I give up, mister.
I heard all kinds of crap growing up,
but I've never felt this disgusted before!
You win.
Donghui. Donghui!
Why that...
What? What did I do?
You and I lived together for just one week.
What evidence do you have?
And I didn't say you could have my child!
I can't believe you just said that!
It's just unbelievable to me, that's all.
Things were great before you came back.
Yeongchun and Donghui were fine!
Why did you come back?
You shouldn't have! Why did you come back!
Dongseok...
Go back to where you came from.
We'll be fine on our own.
Nobody wants you here!
So go back to where you came from!
I should have died long ago!
Then I wouldn't have seen this.
I should've joined my wife when she died.
Are they done? How long must we do this?
You can stop now.
You're going to cry?
No.
I can't even cry because I'm too stunned.
Right.
It's not enough to waste your tears on.
You better not cry.
You said you wouldn't cry.
It's Dongseok.
He sided with us, Soshim.
Huh?
Dongseok said
Donghui and I were fine before his father
came home.
I know.
I thought he was like an outsider,
but now he's one of us.
You're pretty tame, Kang Donghui.
I thought you'd be getting into trouble.
So what, you were going to arrest me?
No.
I was going to help you with the settlement.
Do you want to get a drink?
Episode 30
Why that! I don't believe this.
What's this?
Your bag.
Uncle Ssangshik packed your things.
He packed my stuff?
Hah! They say no one can be trusted!
But I can't believe my own brother did that!
How could you bring this out to me?
I told you to convince your mother-in-law!
I can't convince her.
Why not?
If I were her,
I would've kicked you out long ago.
How could you say that to your father-in-law?
I'm not your daughter-in-law yet.
How dare you!
Why did you say such awful things?
You went too far tonight.
Are you lecturing me?
I'm your father-in-law!
You're not my father-in-law yet!
I'll carry your bag to the sauna.
I can't go to the sauna.
My skin's delicate, so I can't sleep there.
Haewon! I haven't eaten since lunch!
Haewon!
You're not hungry?
Do you want to play basketball, then?
How about pool? You want to go play pool?
Just be quiet. This isn't like you.
Trying to console me doesn't suit you.
Where are you going?
To see my kids.
We were all abandoned by our moms,
but they're coping with it so well,
so why am I sitting here moping?
Bye.
Donghui!
I'm telling you again,
but don't ever try to console anyone.
Just be yourself. It's really awkward.
Is it good?
What do you think?
I'm eating it because this is all you're buying.
Oh, nice!
Would you like a shot?
It's okay.
Do I seem pathetic to you?
Yes!
I can't believe it! A daughter-in-law...
I'm not your daughter-in-law yet.
So it's okay for you to be rude to me?
Do you actually feel guilty for what you did?
Of course! I'm human, too!
Then why didn't you come back sooner?
I tried. I wanted to come back.
Am I a criminal? Are you a prosecutor?
Are you interrogating me?
I'm asking because I'm curious.
Then what's with your attitude?
I'm too offended to tell you.
Then I should get going.
Go to a motel or to the sauna.
Oh, you're really hot-tempered!
Order me some chicken gizzards.
And another bottle of soju.
The reason why I didn't come home
wasn't because of some woman.
I didn't want to starve to death,
so I did mooch off some women.
But the truth is that
I was trying to catch that woman who
took off with my money, so I could get it back.
I didn't know this many years had passed.
What money are you talking about?
Order me some pork cartilage.
Can we have some pork cartilage?
My father...
Dongseok and Dongok...
It was for their lives.
What do you mean by that?
The person you're trying
to reach is unavailable...
This is good. You should have some.
What did you mean?
It was for grandfather, Dongseok, and Dongok?
Forget it! Stop.
Why are you asking about my family?
You're not my daughter-in-law yet.
Are you talking about the bicycle accident
that happened a long time ago?
How do you know about that?
The person you're trying
to reach is unavailable...
Hi, is Haewon still there?
Yes, it was that bicycle accident.
There was this drunk driver who caused it.
He'd given me a lot of money for compensation.
Anyway, I was going to invest it
for Dongseok, Dongok and my father,
but that con woman stole my money and ran.
So I was trying to catch her.
I couldn't dare come back without it,
and time went by like that.
Do you know who the driver was?
I do.
Who was the driver?
I can't tell you.
Mr. Kang.
I'm taking that to my grave.
Haewon?
I...
I know who it was, Mr. Kang.
Huh?
The driver of that car.
How would you know that?
I asked, how would you know?
He... Was my father.
What?
That man was my father.
Why aren't you picking it up?
What is it? What happened?
Why didn't you answer the phone?
Is something wrong?
Can I spend the night at your house?
What are you talking about?
Is something going on at home?
Uncle Ssangho's taking me to the market
in the morning,
but if I went home, I wouldn't make it.
But still, you're not married yet.
I'm not sleeping with Dongseok.
Just let me sleep in this corner.
What about your mom? Did you call her?
Yes, I did.
Just for tonight.
If I went home right now,
I don't think I could ever come back here.
If you went home, you couldn't come back?
I don't understand what that means...
Do you understand it?
Please let me sleep here, mother.
Wow! You're amazing at picking out the goods
and at haggling prices!
You have a knack for this.
Don't I? Teach me everything you know.
I will.
Taeseop!
What are you doing here?
It's my house! So why can't I come?
Please, Taeseop!
Things couldn't be worse right now!
So please stay out of everyone's sight.
Stay out of everyone's sight?
Why should I do that?
Taeseop!
Did you sleep well last night?
What do you think?
Where did you sleep last night?
Why are you asking?
Would you like some soup for breakfast?
I can't believe how...
Why are you lashing out at Haewon?
Uncle, I have something to say to Mr. Kang,
so can we have a minute alone?
I'm know I'm your little brother and all,
but I can't side with you on this!
Please excuse me!
Excuse you? Heck no!
I can't do that! Not ever!
Would you excuse him?
I'm sorry for shocking you last night.
What are you trying to do here?
You know what your father did,
and you were still going to marry Dongseok?
I tried to run away, but it didn't work.
What do you think would happen
if my family found out?
It doesn't matter.
What?
I'm never letting Dongseok go because...
It wasn't our fault.
I can't believe you.
Does Dongseok know about your father?
What are you doing out here?
Mother's asking for you. Go inside.
You...
You kicked me out, and
you look totally unaffected by it.
Being a bad son must be your forte.
What did you say to Haewon?
I didn't say anything.
I'll let you talk to your mom.
Who wants to go first?
I'm not going to. Dongju, you go ahead.
Why not?
You were the one dying to talk to her!
I lost interest in mom.
What? Why didn't you tell me that?
Do you know how much trouble this...
Call her! I'll talk to her first.
Okay.
Kids' mom
Hello?
Hello, I'm Kang Dongju.
Oh, you're Dongju! I'm your mom.
Hi, Dongju.
Mommy didn't want to abandon you.
It may sound like an excuse, but I was young...
How old were you?
You were young, so how young were you?
What are you asking her?
She said she was young when she left us,
so I asked her how old she was then.
Good question.
Why did you ask that? You don't need to know.
Don't ask any questions. Just listen.
Continue, then.
Mom was too young and childish.
Your dad was unemployed and had no money,
so things were really hard.
You talk to her.
Why?
I'm going to the restroom.
Uh, but your mom's talking...
Don't be like that.
You want me to poo in my pants?
Tell her to call back.
I don't want to talk to her!
Hello? I'm Dongwon.
But I don't want to talk to you.
I'm sorry, Dongju! I'm sorry, Dongwon.
Mom is really sorry.
Mom!
Try the broth.
Oh! It's delicious.
It is?
Dongseok likes dried pollack or anchovy broth.
Oh, I see.
Teach me how to make spicy oyster.
You don't have to go home?
Your mom must be waiting for you.
It's okay. I'll go after a few more.
Teach me, mother.
Soshim. Soshim!
Oh, that man...
Soshim! Soshim!
Father.
Soshim!
Father, let's go. The kids are watching.
Let go.
If they're here, you won't mistreat me.
How can you say that?
Taeseop, don't do this!
Please leave!
Soshim...
What are you doing here?
Didn't you leave this house last night?
Well,
I came back because I have to say something.
It's something everyone must know.
Mul, Dongwon, hurry up and go to school.
But we have 20 minutes left.
Then go 20 minutes early.
We'll see you later.
Okay. Be careful when you cross the street.
And watch out for cars!
You shouldn't push kids around like that.
What do you have to say?
You let Haewon in, so why not me?
Is that what you wanted to say?
Haewon's different.
She's family now,
but you, you're someone we want to
get rid of, if we can.
How dare you!
Father!
So I'm nothing compared to Haewon?
Haewon's good, and you're bad, father.
What?
Haewon's good, but you're bad!
Ok.
Father.
Oh, man! You're all a naive bunch of people!
How did you survive without me?
It's okay, don't go. Stay here, Dongseok.
Why don't you stop it, mister?
Why are you butting in?
Wasn't last night enough?
Please be quiet and leave this house.
What?
Let's go, let's go.
You shouldn't cross the line. Let's go.
Let go of me!
Oh, Soshim! Soshim!
Soshim!
Why did you come back after all these years?
That hurts!
Why are you causing so much trouble?
And why are you hurting my children!
It's not that! Listen to me!
You better not speak of my children!
I won't let you!
I don't know what I'll do! I don't!
I'm sorry, Soshim!
Why didn't you wait for us?
I had something to think about.
Oh, Mul!
I talked to my mom this morning.
Didn't you say you weren't going to?
Why do you keep changing your mind?
I wasn't going to,
but Dongju had to go and poo.
So what did your mom say?
She cried and said she was sorry.
She said she'll call often,
and when she comes back, she'll take me out.
Lies!
It's not lies!
Mom said that when you went to poo.
Whatever. It's all lies.
It's not lies!
Call mom and ask her!
Forget it. You're impossible.
I'm leaving.
Why would you lie?
Oh, this is crazy!
I never once thought I was cool or handsome
or that I was a great guy.
But after I met you,
I wanted our love to be the greatest of all.
And I wanted to love you
more than anything in this world.
Look at me.
As long as we remember each other,
we will remain together.
And later,
much later, after a long time has passed,
we'll meet again.
We will meet again.
Haeju, I love you, too.
Cut!
Wow, Mr. Kang Dongtak! You were amazing!
What did you think?
He's good.
He's bursting with emotions.
Right?
But was the female role named...
Haeju?
Haeju.
Haeju...
Yes! Yes, director.
The next Park Shinyang?
We're flattered. Yes.
Okay. I look forward to hearing from you.
Goodbye.
Dongtak! It's done!
The director loved your acting!
He praised your method acting!
Dongtak, are you okay?
Did you say something?
The director said it's almost certain.
He'll be calling us back.
That's nice.
You don't look happy at all.
You look like your dog died.
Dongtak, talk to Mul and get back with Haeju.
How dare you! I told you never to!
Never to mention her name!
Why won't you listen to me! Why!
Oh.
When they heard we'll get our fortune back,
everyone's trying to set you up with a guy.
These are the ones I like. Look at them.
You should get married before Haewon.
It's okay.
I'm going to focus on my career.
Just take a look at them.
He's Choi Jongho, and he's a prosecutor.
He works with Dongseok,
but he's really straight-forward. Not good, huh?
He's Oh Jongsu, and he's a doctor.
He's older, so I'm a bit worried about that.
This guy owns 6 comic book stores, and...
I won't look at them!
What's wrong with you?
They're all the same men! Don't confuse me!
I'm not meeting any of them!
Uh!
Hey!
What? They're not the same men!
They look all different.
When are you meeting Ms. Jo Suji?
This Sunday.
So you and uncle are moving to Seoul?
If mom and dad get married, we will.
My mom's in America.
Maybe I could go live in America
when my parents get married.
Oh, yes!
But you don't even speak English.
I can!
How are you? Fine, thank you, and you?
Mrs. Shalala!
Huh?
What are you doing now?
Uh, exercising?
Did you see my dad?
No.
You didn't call him, did you?
I didn't.
My parents might get married again.
So you should move on, meet someone nice.
You should mind your own business.
What kind of men do you like?
Why?
I'll introduce someone to you.
I like Zo Insung. So?
Can you introduce Zo Insung to her?
This is really bad.
What?
Mrs. Shalala isn't over my dad.
What?
My dad's nickname is "Almost Zo Insung."
She's not over him.
Then introduce the real Zo Insung to her.
Dad!
Say it again.
What?
What you called me a minute ago.
What?
Just now, you called me...
Mr. Kang Donghui!
Call my mom again.
Huh?
I want to say something to her. Call her back.
She won't answer. We didn't make plans talk.
I'm her daughter. I don't need to make plans!
Just call her.
Mr. Kang, hello.
It's me, your husband!
I said it's me!
Oh, yes.
Yes, this is me.
Mom, this is Dongju.
Yes, Dongju. This is your mom.
Mom, didn't you have an accent before?
Oh, uh, accent?
It comes and goes.
Mom's busy, so I'll call you...
I just need to ask you one question.
Mom, what's your name?
I said what's your name?
My name?
My name is...
What was my name?
Why can't you tell me?
You don't even know your own name?
This call's expensive. You called her for that?
Hang up.
It's Seo Jeonga! Seo Jeonga!
You don't even know your own name?
Why did you hang up? Call her back!
I have another question. Call her back!
What do you want to ask her?
I want to ask her why.
Why she said she didn't want to see us!
Why she said never to call her again!
Excuse me.
You must be starving after being kicked out.
Have some of this.
Oh, that's hot!
I'm okay.
I'd rather starve
than eat instant noodles as my first meal.
Unbelievable.
It's not often beggars can be choosers.
Just unbelievable.
It's made with eel.
Mr. Kang!
You haven't eaten, have you?
What are you doing?
I brought you some food.
I just packed it.
But Dongseok's mother made all of this.
Just leave the container by the door.
Tell me the answer to my question.
Does Dongseok know about your father?
Yes.
You two are completely mad.
You're not afraid that I'll tell?
No.
Why not?
I can ruin everything for you.
I promised Dongseok I won't run away.
I promised him I'll face it.
All I want is to keep those promises.
Enjoy the food.
I feel bad about making you work so hard!
No! Mother's sick, so I have to help.
Can we have some more lettuce here?
Okay.
The lettuce is over there, right?
Yes.
I can't believe you're still here!
How old are you?
What?
How old were you when you met me?
Why do you ask? After all this time?
If you're this pretty now,
you must have been a real knockout
when you were younger.
Are you flirting with me?
Your mom was a Haenyeo diver, right?
She was, and she died
trying to get seaweed for your birthday?
So you can't eat seaweed soup.
On your birthday, you eat potato soup instead.
I think you told me that, right?
What are you trying to do right now? Stop!
Oh, you scared me.
How dare you flirt with me!
Try that again and I'll call the police!
Oh, seriously! Taeseop!
Why can't you go somewhere else?
Have you no self-respect?
No! I don't have any!
Just ignore him, Ssangho.
I have no self-respect! So what!
How could anyone deal with that?
Oh, this is maddening.
Soshim is sick because of you!
What?
Soshim is sick because of me?
Your wet, tired hands broke
My heart, so I held them
The rough knuckles made me so sad
Your cold hands are filled with love
You built this happiness with them
Even in my next life, I will only love you
I don't believe this.
Soh, Soshim.
Soshim!
If you have something to say, say it.
I'm sorry about before.
She said those things because she's worried.
She didn't mean any harm.
I don't know why you're so interested
in my life.
Mom.
I'm working, of course.
You're in Seoul?
A blind date? No. I don't want to.
I'm seeing someone.
She's just an average person.
She is pretty, of course.
She's extremely pretty.
You want to?
Uh... I think we can.
I'll tell her.
Okay, mom. Bye.
Your parents are back in Korea?
Yes.
They're coming to Gyeongju next week.
You're not introducing Dongok to them,
are you?
I am!
Well, I'm off!
Pretend you're pairing them up.
Start from the outside and move in.
Then, like this?
Good job, Dongok.
And you hold the wine glass right here.
I can't hold it like this?
Your wine will get warm and will lose flavor.
I'm sorry, Dongok.
My mom doesn't care about other things,
but she's really picky about table manners.
No, it's okay.
Oh, I'm hungry. Let's eat.
Dongok, not like that.
Like this.
Oh, right, right.
Not like that.
Like this.
I'm sorry I'm not good at this...
It's okay. I had lots of trouble at first, too.
You're doing great.
Dongok, this and this.
Smallest fork for the salad,
biggest one for the meat.
I can't eat everything with this fork?
You can, but this is just how it's done.
Are you okay, Dr. Wujin?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I should go to the restroom.
Small one for the salad, big one for the meat.
Misuk!
It's me! Come out!
She won't see you! Stop this!
Misuk!
Let's talk!
You won't budge! You're like a rock!
Misuk's not going to see you ever again!
You can't do this!
You want me to go crazy!
Why did you come out?
I'll see you in an hour.
How does this thing open?
Oh, yes.
It smells.
Okay, Ssangshik, let's go.
- Welcome. - Hi.
Oh, Mr. Kang, come and sit.
- Hello. - Hi.
This is our first double date.
This was a great idea!
Did Misuk plan this?
Yes. Misuk invited Ssangho and me.
You should eat food with your drink.
Don't drink on an empty stomach.
I have something to say to everyone.
What?
You feel guilty, huh?
So you are human, after all.
I'm going to the restroom.
Snap out of it, Kang Ssangshik.
What is this?
Let's go. We're leaving.
I'm awful.
I'm sorry, Misuk.
I'll end it all.
I did fall for Ms. Jo.
I do have a crush on Ms. Jo, I admit it.
But I'll end it.
So Misuk...
Please forget what happened and forgive me.
Please.
Okay, Misuk?
So you're saying you have a crush on me?
I'm going to the restroom.
Misuk, I've tried everything,
but I can't get a reaction out of him.
Chef doesn't really like me, I guess.
Then why did you toy with another man!
What did I do?
We're leaving. I'll see you at home.
Let's go.
So you're saying you have a crush on me?
Misuk?
Are you okay?
Yes. You can go. I'm sorry.
I can't go when a woman's crying.
Why are you crying every time I see you?
Does Ssangshik know about this?
He doesn't.
I cried without him knowing,
but I shouldn't have hid it.
I should've let him know that I was hurting.
I was dumb. And now it's all over.
What should I do, chef?
Oh, I'll do it.
That totally woke me up.
What are you trying to do?
I wasn't going to do anything.
Man!
Oh! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
Why did I do that?
Yeongchun, don't cry! You have me!
You be a good wife!
I already saw that.
I can't believe you're drinking all by yourself.
Did you have dinner?
Should I whip something up?
It's okay.
All you have is kimchi?
Donghui.
Why did you leave and come back?
I have lots of time tonight.
I'll listen so tell me.
Hello?
Taeseop, it's Ssangho.
- Huh? - Hold on.
I'll put father on.
If you keep that up, you can't come home!
If you want to be a father, act like one!
Father, father...
Act like a father?
Yes.
I'll be a good father!
You called me many times.
Was it because of Haewon?
Yes.
I was trying to kick her out of our house.
You know what her father did to us.
She can't marry into our family knowing that.
How did you find out about that?
And you knew it all along, I hear.
This can't be, Dongseok.
You must end it.
You can never marry her.
Father.
