Birdie Buddy
I'm tired as hell but why must we go to the mountain top?
You were tied down for 4 days so your muscles are probably stiff.
He probably wants to loosen your muscles first.
Aren't you thankful to me?
Who else would train you like this if not me?
Why are you good to me?
Because I've fallen for you.
I fell for the exact impact you showed me at the closed down school.
And I feel for the spirit you showed me at the qualifiers when you wouldn't give up.
Honestly, I was really worried that you might quit golf.
I wanted to do whatever I could to make you continue playing golf.
Teach's training...
I quit half way and ran off.
But I believe you can endure it and complete it.
So even if it's hard--
You sure talk a lot.
Why are you following me and being troublesome?
Wow this is awesome!
Is my house over there?
Don't you miss your parents?
Of course I do!
Wondering how they're doing, if they are healthy...
I miss my dad!
If I sauteed some beef and made some seaweed soup he would wipe it clean.
Sounds good! I like seaweed soup too!
He said my phone would work on top of the mountain!
Tae Gab, if you need anything ironed bring it now!
Don't make me do the work twice!
I don't have anything!
Oh come on!
It's Mi Soo!
Give it to me.
It's hot, it's hot! I'll let you talk to her later.
Hello? Mi Soo?!
Mom!
Yeah Mi Soo, are you eating well?
Yeah I'm eating well and I'm healthy.
But what's wrong with your voice? Is it hard?
No. It's not hard. It's fun.
Alright that's fine. Don't call home now, alright?
If you keep thinking about home, you'll lose focus.
You need to focus on training. If you think of home, you'll lose focus.
Focus on golf.
Mom, your daughter called after a long time...
Don't you miss me?
Yeah. I don't miss you at all.
I want to see you become a pro and win.
So it is my mom.
Why? Am I heartless?
Yeah you are.
It can't be helped. Mi Soo, I just...
Mi Soo! It's Dad! Dad! Dad!
Father!
Mi Soo, I believe in you. Chin up now...
Dad are you eating well?
Yeah.
Listen to Mom and Tae Gab.
Yeah, yeah, Mi Soo.
Mi Soo will train hard and then come see you, Dad.
Dad make sure to shave every day.
You look the best after a fresh shave, Dad.
- Dad... - Huh?
I'll call again.
Mi Soo... Dad... Dad misses you, Mi Soo.
I'm hanging up Dad.
Yeah Mi Soo... Mi Soo...
My baby... I miss you.
Excuse me...
When you go down will you stop by my house?
Why not? Here.
Let's go down Steamed Bun. If it gets dark we may get lost.
Wait for me!
Thanks Teach.
For what?
For taking Mi Soo as a student.
What's wrong?
Huh?
Something is wrong, isn't it?
No nothing is wrong.
I just wanted to see you.
And I was curious if Mi Soo was doing well.
Teach.
You must have been really upset. After I ran away...
Crazy fool. Are you drunk off of water?
Clean up before you sleep. If you leave it out animals will come by.
I said it wasn't time yet.
You said it wasn't time yet, Teacher.
But I won that competition. Isn't that enough?
In order to become the best you must fill up time.
You still haven't filled up all that time yet.
Until when?! How long do I spend on that?!
I need to hurry and become famous in order to find my parents!
You know that!
That's the only thing that has kept me going with this arduous training!
So you're going to join that sponsor and go to America?
If I didn't win this competition, that sponsor wouldn't have found me.
As I go higher and higher...
It brings me closer and closer to finding my parents.
The number you have reached is currently turned off...
Good morning Grandpa!
Morning. You slept well right?
Yes! Very well!
But where did that guy go?
Jung Woo?
Jung Woo? Yes, Jung Woo.
He went down early in the morning.
He went down?
What kind of a person leaves without saying goodbye...
His specialty is coming and going without saying a word.
Grandpa, how did John Lee get injured?
I hear he's still pretty good.
His wrist, how did he hurt his wrist?
Why are you so curious!
I need to know so it doesn't happen to me.
He was crushed while trying to be cocky and do the Fabian shot.
Fabian shot? What's that?
End of questions! You're so loud!
Then I'll ask you tomorrow. If it were me I would just say it.
Grandpa! What are we doing today?
We're going be very cool and go play in the creek.
Huh?
Creek?
Did you wait long?
I needed some time as your coach.
It's not because you didn't want to be disturbed when you were with her?
It's not like that. Mi Soo...
So you were really with her.
I was guessing...
Hae Ryung, something bad happened to Mi Soo's family so she had a really hard time.
I was just watching out for her in case she quit golf and it just ended up like this.
Something bad happened to Hae Ryung's family so she had a really hard time too.
Hae Ryung's father abandoned her and ran off again.
Hae Ryung's mom probably sent him off.
Hae Ryung wanted to show him off.
That I had a father too. That I found him. That he's wonderful.
I showed it off in front of the cameras but when I came back I was alone again.
Isn't that embarrassing?
I hate my Mom...
And the Hae Ryung who came to hate her father too had only one place to go.
The person she loves.
The person that always wiped her tears away ever since she was young.
But now even that person...
How did Min Hae Ryung become a person that's so unimportant?
Hae Ryung just forget all of that--
Leave now.
You're out.
From my games and from my life.
What are you doing right now?
I threw a golf ball in.
Exactly!
We don't have many balls so why did you throw it in?
Alright take it out.
What are you doing?!
Why the hell would a golfer use her hands when she has a club?
Soon enough you'll be asking me to eat using a club.
It's tasty. Want to try?
Grandpa, how the heck am I supposed to take out a golf ball from a creek using a club?!
It's impossible!
John Lee did it.
John Lee did?
What is it?
President...
I saw her on the green but I can't get a hold of her.
She has a meeting with her sponsors today...
John Lee! Find John Lee!
How many have you broken, child?!
I can't do it because of the water's resistance.
I'm going to break all of my clubs like this!
This is all I have!
That's why you need to pull it out using your wrist strength.
They're all breaking because you're trying to pull it out with the club's strength.
Aren't you her coach?
You're her coach and she couldn't concentrate during a match!
What the hell were you doing?!
Should I have stopped the match and dragged Hae Ryung out by her wrist?
Just like you've always done, President?
You want to argue with me?
She needs to recover from the core of the problem.
I don't think you have any right to judge so easily.
I've probably been with Hae Ryung much longer than you have.
Are you saying you know Hae Ryung much better than I do?
Is that why you've taken Hae Ryung away?!
Where is my child?! Where did you hide her!
I'll see you again when you're calmer.
Hae Ryung wasn't normally like that!
Now I know why she's changed like this.
It's because of you, John Lee! She changed while being with you!
Do you really think that?
Bring my daughter back right now!
President... I think it's best if you leave now.
No he needs to hear the most important matter.
John Lee, our contract with you is now nulled.
Don't you dare show yourself before my daughter.
I know it's unlikely but I'm calling in case you call the cops to report me dead.
Where are you?
It seems your still in the country so hurry and return.
Where the hell are you going?!
Are you going to the States?
The States? To find my father?
Your imagination isn't very good, President.
The reason I was able to deal with things until now...
Isn't because of your money or because of golf.
I survived because of my pride.
Do you really think I would go looking for a man that abandoned me twice?
Then where the hell are you going?!
Who knows?
Where can I go so that it pains you the most?
I have to board. I'm hanging up.
Min Hae Ryung!
He doesn't even stop me now...
Teach! Shine it correctly!
I can't see because the light keeps shaking!
You try holding it for 3 hours! Without dinner too!
Then the one that missed dinner and has to swing a golf club may just freeze to death.
What?!
My Teach sure does have good hearing.
Stop and let's go home.
Just a little more.
I can pull it out. Just a little longer...
You can do it tomorrow. The mountain animals will come out.
If the animals come out then we can catch them and eat them.
I'm going to go.
Teach! Over there!
The phone you have called is currently off...
I think the President acted that way because she's having a really hard time with Hae Ryung.
Please be understanding.
It's fine.
She's my player, I hold some responsibility too.
Though not any more...
When Hae Ryung returns I hope no more painful things happen to her.
If you're not there for her she may be in more pain.
I was planning on opening a golf academy for children.
It's unfortunate, but I'll be pulling out my camper tomorrow.
Not like I have any right to remain any longer.
I hope you don't go too far.
How about I prepare a condo for you?
You don't have anywhere to go right now do you?
Of course it's a secret from the President.
-I just... -Please, for Hae Ryung's sake.
100 meters past this forest will be a flag.
Try hitting it out towards there.
Huh?! From here?!
You did fine in the water but you're scared of the forest?
I'm leaving!
But...
Cell phone... Cell phone... Mi Soo, call Mi Soo.
Father this is mine! Give it!
I'm going to call Mi Soo!
Father, Tae Gab will hold onto it and when Mi Soo calls I'll let you talk to her.
- It's Mi Soo! - Father!
- Mi Soo! Mi Soo! - Don't answer! Don't answer!
Mi Soo!
Sorry it's not Mi Soo.
I think you can hang up now.
What brings you here?
Can I join you for a meal?
Of course.
This is some beef and seaweed.
I heard a rumor that sauteed beef added into seaweed soup is really good.
Rumor? From where?
From Mi Soo.
You saw Mi Soo?!
You like cell phones don't you, Mr. Sung?
Mr. Sung, then next time I come I'll bring an awesome cell phone.
So until then don't touch Tae Gab's phone, alright?
Hey don't you think he would be a good son in law? Don't you think?
You need to draw definite lines.
A coach or a family member?
First he can be a coach and then a son in law.
That would be good, right?
That player?
Did you witness it?!
Mrs. Sung, Mrs. Sung have you been well?!
- Oh welcome! - Mister!
Give me your cell phone.
Huh? Cell phone?
And what about him?
It's really good.
I didn't know seaweed soup could be this good.
I like seaweed soup.
Mi Soo's father likes seaweed soup.
I heard from Mi Soo.
That's why you brought seaweed and beef.
She asked me to check to see if Mr. Sung and everyone were doing well.
So I dropped by.
Thank you so very much for thinking of my Mi Soo.
Not at all.
I knew it was weird.
Something smelled fishy the moment I heard Mi Soo had a sponsor.
We are so lucky, right?!
Please eat up. Eat up and have some more, alright?
Yes.
Hey Joong Ki, you should try the soup too.
The beef must have been good because the soup has some real flavor to it!
I'm allergic to seaweed.
Oh really? Oh my goodness.
Did your mother not eat seaweed soup after she had you?
What in the world?
I'll get you one. Don't do that.
Hey Joong Ki, then I'm going to give this to Mr. Sung.
Allergic!
Then...
Yes.
Allergic!
Excuse me, our Mi Soo is doing well, right?
I mean how can she go train somewhere even her family doesn't know of?
And how is there a place where there's no service in such a tech driven country?
Is she training in some underground bunker?
If I don't answer am I going to get hit again?
Hit? Who is going to hit who?!
It's a joke.
What a surprise!
Joong Ki, what kind of question is that?
I'm sure the Coach is taking care of her and took her somewhere nice.
Right Coach?
Anyway I'm at ease hearing you went to see Mi Soo, Coach!
Thank you so much!
Would you like me to pack some up to take home?
Shall I?
There is a lot of seaweed soup.
We were understanding when Min Hae Ryung flaked out on the interviews.
But for her to not show up for a commercial shooting too...
Min Hae Ryung has a lot of scars so she's having a very hard time...
You saw the show where she was elated to have found her father, right, Director?
The father she found 23 years later...
He was so important to her she even showed off in front of the cameras.
But that father threw everything away and went back.
Please think about it.
Think about what kind of loss she must be feeling right now.
About how upset she must be...
Please Director, just be patient a little longer.
Are you protesting because I'm passing all the blame onto Woo Joon Mo?
He's gone already, and won't ever be able to return either.
Good bye. Farewell.
You're the person that took away the few seconds those words could have been said.
But how could you...
If Hae Ryung and him meet do you think he'll just say goodbye and leave?!
Something worse could have happened!
I don't think Hae Ryung will return so easily.
Not a single thing goes smoothly! Not a single thing!
Put that down and grab this.
Why?!
Do you want me to hit the ball with a fishing rod?!
Not like it's getting out of the woods no matter how many times you hit it...
Today we're going to catch fish and make spicy stew.
We've got to eat to survive.
I don't really like spicy stew.
You just catch it. I'll eat it all.
Sung Mi Soo, you sure are doing everything and anything.
Do you think we'll catch anything?
Have you filled your stomach with fish before?
No.
Then today is the day.
It's already past noon. Yet we haven't caught a single fish.
I may have been better off going to practice.
Is practice everything?
I'm not very good so I have to at least try my hardest.
I'm sure I'll figure it out if I just keep hitting it.
You're just like the fish!
What?
Do you know how stupid fish are?
They check the float to make sure it isn't food.
After they know it's not food they go and come back checking again.
They go a few feet away and then come back.
But that doesn't change the float into food.
They're better off spending that time looking for other food.
What's that have to do with me?!
They are fish and I'm a person.
That's right. You're a person.
So why aren't you able to adapt unlike fish?
Is there only one way? You're so frustrating.
You aren't catching a single fish!
I'm going to go practice.
If I catch a fish, you're not eating it!
I thought you were going to have spicy stew.
The fish weren't very good today.
Do you think this is the marketplace that you can judge the fish like that?
Are you able to still eat after cutting wood all day?
Why is he taking it out on me...
Do you know how stupid fish are?
What's that have to do with me?! They're fish and I'm a person.
That's right. You're a person.
So why aren't you able to adapt unlike fish?
Is there only one way? You're so frustrating.
Really now. Where did they all go?
Hurry and help me hold my face up.
They're here!
Wow did you know I was coming and cooked spicy stew?
I'm touched.
In any case, why are you coming so often?
That's why you should live somewhere that gets reception!
My legs are hurting because you live in a house without an address!
Whatever.
Teacher.
About Mi Soo...
I'm hoping I can take her down and prepare her for the Dream Tour.
Is she not ready yet?
It depends on the taste of this stew.
Huh?
If this tastes good then she can leave with you, and if it doesn't she needs to stay longer.
Huh?
I'm back!
Oh you're here? You must not be busy these days.
You're not even glad to see me anymore.
You caught one?!
I told you, yesterday was no good.
By the way Grandpa, I hit it out!
How?
Straight isn't the only path.
I hit it out to the side and then hit it over to where the flag was.
Then what about the one hit you lost?
I'll make up for it on the next hole.
While I was catching this fish that couldn't be caught...
You caught the foolish fish.
Is that so?
What is it? Tell me too.
Taste it.
I guess you can take her.
Huh?
Let's eat!
Yeah.
Eat up, eat up!
May I really leave?
He said he's going to take you.
I want to practice fully before going into a match.
-Once again... -Again what?!
You said there's still things I haven't learned yet!
Something even John Lee didn't learn.
Alright then. Take a look at him.
He left without learning everything and yet he still beat out all the Americans!
Why are you dragging me into this?
Go on ahead.
Go and have fun and let it out of your system.
Good job up until now.
Teacher...
