You're here.
He's someone I know through my work.
I'm one who brings up Author Han Song Jeong's works to the theatrical stage...
I'm a drama producer, Director Jeong.
Oh, I see. But... That thing earlier... What was this?
Oh... It is... this..
Director Jeong's playhouse's name is... X-man Playhouse.
I see.... So, you have a playhouse too?
Yes. X-man.
Director, it's already very late,
so how about we... talk over there?
Then...
She does stage plays too. She must be a famous writer.
Where do you think this place is? How did you find this place?
I checked with all the movers out there.
How could you move without saying a word?
It's because of you that we moved.
Showing up after 20 years, why are you doing this to me?
Don't misunderstand, Da Ae's mom-- I mean, Writer Han.
I had made a contract for the original, so came only to see the author.
What? Who decided to have that contract?
Mr. Lee didn't tell you?
It was with Mr. Lee that I signed the contract.
Mr Lee? You are in touch with Mr. Lee?
Yeah. Why? You can't get in touch with him?
Where is Mr. Lee? Where is he?
Tell me now!
I mean...
Until when were you in touch with him?
Just tell me, hyeong. Tell me. (Hyeong - Older brother or friend to a male)
I don't know, okay?
You are so close with Jeong Da Jeong,
but you don't even know her number. Does it make sense?
I must reserve the tickets. Give me her number.
What ticket?
Musical. Since she didn't want to go today I guess we'll go tomorrow.
Tomorrow is father's birthday, aren't you going there?
Public baths? That won't take long.
Not that. Father's house.
Oh, the orphanage. Then I'll just drop by there.
I would reserve for the evening.
Whatever you say about the Seo In U style,
you doing all this suddenly, can be unnerving from her standpoint.
I know. I know. That's why I'm giving her a rest.
If I did was my usual way, it would be just...
I told you not to joke around.
Who says... I'm joking when I'm sincere... what?
Again!
I get it. Hyeongnim, I'm now 30 years old.
I will get my act together and use this chance to stop joking around.
You really...
It's for real.
Hyeong, just like you said,
she is a nice woman.
I will ask for her number.
Musical?
Son-in-law Seo. Receive your birthday meal.
- Congrats - Congrats
Happy birthday.
Here. Your gift.
Mom, you should at least put on some make up.
I did do that!
What's this, with food in front?
Son-in-law Seo, blow the candles first.
Yes. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I wish you good health.
Jae U and In U, I wish for you to meet good partners.
Thank you, honey.
Even the smell is delicious.
Mom. Mom, you're up?
When I haven't even slept, what waking up?
Mom. Good morning.
Mom. Did you sleep well?
I want to sleep.
Mother! I wish you a happy birthday.
For a birthday gift, I bought something of practical use...
Who is it? Who said today is my birthday?
Isn't it? But... it should be, though.
Today is May 25. It seems it is.
I wish you a happy birthday, Grandma.
G... Grandma? Unbelievable.
I mean, at this age, do I have to hear even a "grandma" call?
Afraid of getting older, I don't even have rice cake soup.
On a day that's not even when I was born, I should jump up a year in age?
What birthday? Instead of saying nonsense,
go and do what you should be doing.
Grandma? I've lived long enough to be hearing all sorts of things.
Because of that brat Da Ae,
I even had to say such harsh words to a child.
Oh, really... Oh,
What have I done here?
Mom.
If you're here to say things to make me mad, then don't.
Eun Chan and Doctor Gang... It was to celebrate your birthday that they did it.
When people are sincere, how can you do that?
So, it is to nitpick on that, that you are in here?
Yes.
What?
Doctor Gang is fine to do that to. He can't even take a shower at home,
and can't even eat meals on the same table. The moment you see him he gets cursed. He knows.
But you can't do that to Eun Chan.
An adolescent child who came all the way here, and has tried his best where he is not welcome.
Mom, since Eun Chan came over here, have you called him "Eun Chan" even once?
Eun Chan. Have you called him that even once?
- Eonni. - Eonni.
Mom, what is that boy's crime?
Then what is my crime?
"If you come to our house,"
"I would be nice to you. Come one, come all, rush over in here". Was that my sworn word?
I had clearly told Dr. Gang,
to be prepared.
If he hates being cursed, ask him to go out!
Mom...
You feel bad for Eun Chan? How many years, how many times, have you seen him?
Then, when I see the child that I raised for 30 years, you, what about my feelings?
You thought I didn't know when you did it quietly?
When you were covering your mouth and crying, I saw it well.
If you did, then you should have patted my back.
"Terrific. Let's see how long you will last" Is that what a Mom is?
Eonni...
Right. Me... When I was crying, I didn't have a mom to pat my back, so
I don't know those things well.
This Han Song Jeong, on her 53rd birthday,
took your well wishes damn well.
Thank you like hell!
Every time that this day came,
we would just be out here early morning at the bathhouse, and just bathe and bathe again...
I'd be all excited, and the moment the orphanage gate opened, I'd be peeking out again and again,
and I'd be all nervous too. Aigoo... every year, I was waiting just for my mom to come,
but only the rice cake would come, once again!
That time, those rice cakes... I hated them so much, you know!
So I gave the rice cakes for nothing, then.
I didn't know anything then, you know.
You used to come looking every year,
But the rice cakes then... I saw it all only as just rice cakes!
Grandpa. Father says he saw you as a rice cake!
Hey, you punk. You punk!
Ah, father!
You still want to see your parents, is that so?
It's too much to ask, to want to seem them still.
All this while, I've already had you father-in-law, and Mother-in-law.
And then, I'd say... I have a wife too, though she's a nag sometimes.
Then I have Jae U and In U too.
Whatever kind of people they are, and wherever they may be,
I just hope that they would be living healthy and happily.
Your father's birthday is so gratifying for him!
Father-in-law, isn't it refreshing?
How can they talk of the same thing with the same looks, every year?
Hyeong, aren't Grandfather and father like... "dumb and dumber"?
Eh?
That's dirty!
You want to have a go at it?
Come here. Come here.
So refreshing!
Yes, it feels really great!
Father.
What time are we going to your old home?
Today you can all just do your own things.
I've met a friend from the orphanage.
So I can make the visit with my friend.
Father, so it's alright if I do that?
Of course, it's not just any house. It's the house you used to live in.
You do have to go.
Sure, sure.
Then I will help you make rice cakes.
I already prepared everything yesterday.
So it's fine to do it by myself.
Hyeong, he's telling us to do our own things, no?
Come on. Come on, come on.
You'll be happy while going there,
but you'd feel down on the way back.
Of course. Because there are people you'd be leaving behind there.
I'm used to it, so it's fine.
Okay. Let's go.
Let's go.
Song Jeong, come to the rice cake shop.
Mom, come home early.
I'm busy today so don't wait for me.
I will wait. I will be waiting okay, Mom?
Come on in.
It says you're closed at the front door.
It's my birthday after all.
It's just one day a year, so I'm resting today!
Why did you call me over? What's the matter?
Nothing.
It's to keep my promise that I called you.
Promise?
Happy birthday.
I had said that we would meet again on our birthday, right?
I will come on our birthday
Keep my gift ready, okay?
I will get you a gift too, you know.
You still remember that promise?
But I did go there.
Since you had moved to another orphanage,
I couldn't meet you.
They wouldn't even tell me where you went.
I needed to keep my promise though.
You'd be waiting for me, I thought...
Every year when it was this day, I thought of you.
When I was young, I resented the director there a lot.
It must've been for me to adjust to new environments. I knew that only later.
You resented me a lot, right?
Yeah. Though there were many who said they'd come back but did not...
I believed you would come, oppa.
But, oppa, you know something?
You had already kept that promise.
You promised to meet again, and you did.
And you already gave me a great gift.
What greater gift is there than having me live next door?
So... This, I won't accept.
You know it too, right?
I don't even know the date that I was born.
It's not even my real birthday. So it's awkward.
Song Jeong... Let's talk for a while. Sit down.
- We're back. - We're back.
You're back?
Are you making something again?
Bean-meat. The second daughter came
and we're making it together.
What?
Hello everyone.
Hello to youuu.
Aigoo, you.
You're here?
This tastes really great.
Really? Before this gets cold,
right away, Son-in-law Seo needs to have this.
Aigoo, today is your rest day
so how could I thank you?
It's alright, Grandma.
Grandma, don't worry.
I'll have this Jeong Da Jeong get that gratitude expressed by me, on your behalf.
Jeong Da Jeong. Shall we go see the musical?
What?
Musical? Isn't that where they sing?
Let me come too.
People over 30 years are prohibited though.
How is there such a thing?
Oh, I'm just joking. Grandpa... is at home,
so you can't do that, no?
Ah, allow us both to go. What're you doing?
Let's go together, Jeong Da Jeong.
Okay. You young ones go and watch it.
But, you see... I have something to do at home.
What is it?
Pardon?
Oh, Jeong Da Jeong, I never saw you this way.
How can you lie in front of an elder?
2 O'clock. I'll reserve the tickets.
(Tell her, tell her.)
That's right. Seeing you two getting along well
makes me so happy.
It was so much of a mess at first, you know.
That's right. To put all that mess behind,
we two really must go watch it. Mmm... 2, okay?
Seo In U!
Don't say no, and just go.
He even drove us to the Mart yesterday, after all.
He's doing his best to get along well.
Not just that. It's free too, anyway!
Our house?
Of course. Our home where we lived together in childhood.
I went there every year.
Though the director from that time is not there,
If we go there,
we'll see a lot of kids like you and me.
Let's go together.
No, I won't go, Oppa.
Hey come on. Think what your age is,
to still be keeping the child hood wounds hidden in your heart?
Let's go together. Honestly, more than me, it's you who should go there.
Only if someone as successful as go there,
can the children get encouraged, right?
Best-seller writer Han Song Jeong was also a family member.
Shouldn't we let them know it?
May be later. Actually if that's the reason, really later.
I am not that successful a person like you think, oppa.
Hey hey... come on. I'm just saying, you know.
Anyway, I'm sorry. I have some urgent work today too.
Aigoo. The time is already this late. Let me go then.
Oh, yeah... and... What is happening with that autobiography?
Oh... that...
I was looking around, on what to work on next.
Someone asks to have an autobiography written! Tsk... Aigoo, seriously.
I did not know it was him and ended up signing the contract too.
As I see now, if I don't write it, I'll pay a penalty.
What? Penalty? Seriously, that punk!
Oppa, just pretend you don't know.
If you needlessly cover for me,
and others learn that we've known each other,
oh... it'll be even more of a headache. Let me go.
Really, if I knew all this would happen,
I would have told them from the start.
Oppa. From that one month, one week is already used up.
Not a whole lot left now. Let's be quiet... Mmm?
I'm going.
Oh, yeah! Oppa, isn't today your birthday? Happy birthday!
Let me go?
Yes, how do you do?
I'll clear out the house today.
If you want to take the books, you take care of it.
Today, you said?
I'll go there and get them then.
Oh, its the next door kid's mom.
Buying rice cakes in the morning?
Song Jeong!
I'll go there now.
Yes, oppa.
Give me your second daughter's phone number.
Da Jeong's number? Why?
Why? I can't know that?
No, nothing like that...
Okay. Here.
This is for me? Thank you. I'll leave.
Take care.
Okay.
Son-in-law Seo, just what did I just see?
Please go in.
Yes. Take care.
Yeah. Sure.
She must've been buying rice cakes, that's all. They are also celebrating birthdays.
That would be all. That's it...
Seo... Son-in-law Seo. Son-in-law Seo.
There, there... Grab that please, that!
Aigoo! Aigoo, they couldn't do that...
Did you go somewhere? Mom, come and watch this.
I think he's the funniest out there.
Why are you just standing there?
I think I'll have to lie down a bit.
Are you feeling unwell? I told you to go to the hospital.
Omo, omo, omo, omo. Oh, what's going on there?
What? You're not feeling well?
I just want to sleep a bit.
After spending energy on the birthday meal from the morning,
I think all my senses have gone away from me.
I keep saying that you do too much all the time...
Don't sleep too much.
You won't get sleep at night.
Yeah.
My son-in-law.
Nice to meet for the first time.
Sure. Me too.
The color... The color looks good.
Mother-in-law!
No, it's not so. It isn't so.
Thank you, oppa.
Sure.
It's me being crazy, right?
Son-in-law Seo is just nice with people, which is why.
It's not so.
It is not.
I'm here, uncle.
Where are you?
Ajussi.
Yeah.
Oh, you're faster than the car.
Why did you call me here?
Here. Give this to your mom.
Why this?
It's your mom's birthday, you know.
I gave it to her, but she wouldn't accept it.
Yes. That's because mom doesn't want to celebrate her birthday.
Uncle, you also know the reason, right?
Well, that reason... only applies as per the situation, right?
It's your mother who did birthdays for all of you.
Now it's your turn to give her a birthday.
What?
Like your mom, I also
once had this day as the most hurtful day.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law... You know Jae U's grandpa and grandma, right?
Yes.
They made my birthday into the day that I am happiest about.
I'm not even going to the shop today, and just going out for fun.
This morning, I had breakfast like a king!
I even blew the candle and got an applause.
When they go that far, how can I not like birthdays?
I'm already looking forward to my next birthday.
Da Jeong.
Yes.
Your mother. My sister Song Jeong...
Do one like that for her too.
Yes. Thank you, ajussi. (Ajussi - Older man, uncle)
Wish you a happy birthday.
Drive safely, please.
Yeah. Thank you.
Sure.
On to a day that makes her feel happiest...
Han Song Jeong super star!
Sure, let's cheer things up!
You still don't know?
Best-seller author Han Song Jeong, I'm the one who made you that.
I said I'm making food, right?
Can you lend me your book?
I had sent you a text that I couldn't come today, as something urgent came up.
But I sent you reply that you had to come.
I have a situation today, so it's difficult.
I'll come tomorrow instead.
Tomorrow is difficult as I have a situation too.
Come today please. Now.
Oh, really, you man.
You man? Oh, when did our relationship become like that?
President. You don't have to be there when I'm reading the materials.
So, I'll just come tomorrow.
That will not do. You have to finish reading the materials.
To finish the book by the due date, you need to write it.
To write it, you must respect me first, you said.
Right now I'm doing my best to get the respect.
So come here immediately.
Hello. Ah, seriously.
How can there be such beggar-like people?
Respect? How can I respect someone like you?
For the wallpaper pattern, use the photo I picked.
Yes.
Put them here at the entrance.
Okay.
I'll help you with that.
It's heavy though.
It is quite heavy.
I'm sorry.
It's all right for me.
May be it's heavy for a women.
I arranged a meeting with Mr Lee. X Man.
Yes.
It's really heavy.
Thank you.
Da In, you're here?
Oppa. Hello!
How do you do?
Please give it to me.
No need. I brought it from the gate. There are still many there.
That room will do.
Mom, what are those boxes?
Yeah. I need to keep them for somebody I know.
As it's someone else's, never touch them, okay?
Da Jeong and Da Ae also. Make sure to tell them.
Yeah. I know.
What's the matter?
Doctor Gang.
Be careful.
I am now a bit busy.
What are you doing?
Doing the 2nd part of the work. Why?
Where at?
Where else? At the Bonggu Studio.
When you're done with that, let me examine it.
You, but how old are you? Which university, and what department?
Quit getting interested in me.
Look at him! Who is it that calls everyday?
This is all just sad.
We are done.
This would seem inconvenient in the room.
Oh, it's alright.
I'm so thankful, what do I do? You want to have a refreshing ice-coffee and go?
Oh... I enjoyed reading the book.
I don't know if it bored you or not!
I have become a fan of yours.
Oh, also... Seo Jae U, I got a new copy of the book to give you.
I was wanting to have one. Thank you so much.
Though I don't know when it will happen,
whenever a follow-up work comes out,
Seo Jae U, you'll be the very first to get a copy.
Sure.
Doesn't it look good?
I had found out from the internet,
that someone had watched this even 30 times!
I see.
If it's uncomfortable, give me.
I'm sorry.
So sorry.
Jeong Da Jeong.
Yes?
Relax.
For the design, this person is the best.
At the Jeju hotel construction presentation,
make sure to have this person attend.
Yes.
Waiting is annoying for me.
In future, it would be better if this didn't happen.
You waited for me?
It's you who came?
Mom also wanted to come, but I stopped her.
Uncle, I thought you'd be thinking for long, but it's a relief,
that you got unwound faster than I thought.
Unwound? What unwinding?
Didn't I ask not to let outsiders in?
I am sorry.
Uncle, you're also looking at this book?
It's pretty good.
Good? What's so good?
Come on, g-g- go...
Let's go together. It's Father's birthday.
Uncle, if you aren't there, that's a loss.
No need for that.
Yesterday also your father called me and was yelling at me.
My father? Why?
That's the thing! I also have no clue.
Whether I asked this woman to help write an autobiography or not,
what's there for him to get mad about?
I covered up the signing of a contract with no monthly rental
but this is really... quite odd.
Uncle. You asked writer Han Song Jeong to help write your autobiography?
Yeah.
Why not?
You apologized for that day's incident?
Yes, I did. So what?
What? I said I was sorry! What's wrong?
It's me who has a question.
What?
Uncle, you aren't one to apologize if you went wrong, right?
After that day went like that,
when you never apologized to Grandpa and Grandma, how come you did this?
Why?
Hey, that is different!
Father and Mother were kicking me out.
But this woman... well... hadn't really done anything, you know.
You said it!
That day, she hadn't done anything, but it's you who caused trouble, right?
That's why Grandma got mad, you know.
Even if late, come in the evening.
Father's birthday is a special day, isn't it?
Don't stay away and make him lonely.
Lonely?
Hey you punk. I should be talking... about being by myself here. You know how lonely it is?
Exactly why I asked you to come.
I will wait for you.
Laughing? Don't you laugh.
Getting mad? What is this?
Do not laugh!
Seriously...
So funny.
Over here.
Where is Mr Lee?
Oh, without even a hello, you're looking for Mr Lee?
Are you sure he'll come?
If you're fooling me, better watch it.
Just wait for a little bit.
I said I'd give good money today, so he'll come.
If he doesn't come, I'll report you two to police.
Hey... The one who should call the police is me!
I bought some rights, but the CEO is on the run, and the author opposes it.
This is causing me some damage. 5 million Won. (~US$ 4,500)
5 million?
Sure. 5 million.
Till Mr. Lee gets here, shall we discuss the work?
It's about that husband in this book.
The man who was... bitten by the crazy dog.
Isn't that me?
Don't talk about my book.
Hearing about my book from your mouth disgusts me!
Then what do we do?
You made the contract Mr. Lee,
so you two deal with it.
How come he isn't here?
You came without calling. What's up?
I think I left the camera charger here yesterday.
It's not in our house though.
Really?
So you lost it? What will you do?
Nothing much I can do.
The older folks aren't home?
Yeah.
Come on.
Anyway, I was doing the finishing work. Have a look and go.
So annoying.
What now?
Where are you?
Bonggu.
This...
What was that, such a short call?
Hardly much to say.
What is my name on your mobile phone?
"Don't cry"
What?
Your face look like it's raining tears.
I felt that from the first time I saw you.
Is that so?
Why are you again here?
You're here?
We are on to casual language now?
Where are you going?
There's another laptop in Mom's room.
She took it with her, it seems.
I can just stick it back, I guess.
This out here is really delicious.
Have a bit of that Foie Gras. It's tasty!
Yes.
Why? You don't like the taste?
No. It tastes fine.
Try having that wine. It is an imported wine of special vintage. The flavor isn't bad.
Have it and see.
This is tough.
I don't know much about wine.
In fact, I also don't know much.
Today, just to look cool to you, Jeong Da Jeong,
I had checked the internet before coming.
Today's is our first date, you know.
D... D... Date?
Just taking deep breaths will do.
One sec.
Should I have rather given her beans?
What?
Er... Nothing. Please eat.
Aigoo, you are chowing it down!
Have some of my Foie Gras too, then.
No need.
Don't worry about me, and just eat please.
I mean, you should eat too, Seo In U. There are other items to eat too.
What do we do after eating?
Yeah, Da In.
Jeong Da Jeong, you knew it, didn't you?
What?
Mom's book. Now we have hundreds more of them at home.
How come they are at home?
You wait. I will come there now.
I am sorry. It seems I'll have to go.
Huh... Why? Is there something wrong?
Something must be wrong for me to go, no?
Let's go together!
Eonni. Did you know this, eonni?
What?
Mom's books.
Those boxes in Mom's room.
They are all copies of Mom's book.
What?
Jeong Da Jeong also knows all about it.
Why are you saying? Da In. Aigoo.
It looks serious.
We'll have to leave.
But I'm curious now.
Aish... Get up.
You go ahead.
Hui Ju. You help finish it, please.
She doesn't even see me or what?
Now what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Jeong Tae, take a chance that way.
Send it, send it, send it.
Come on. Hey, Yeol Sik.
Shoot! Yeah, scored it!
Ajussi. What rice cakes did you bring today?
Oh yeah. There's a whole lot that I brought.
Your favorite honey cake too. I've brought a lot.
Han Song Jeong. Wish you a happy birthday.
May my Song Jeong study hard, and not fall sick.
And grow up as a beautiful one.
Without any crying.
My Song Jeong is now 15 years old.
Who said that?...
that I am 15 years old?
I heard they didn't know how old I was when I came here.
I... may even be older than you, oppa.
What?
Fine. If it makes you feel good,
just for today, you be my nuna. (Nuna - Older sister to a male)
Just call Min Sik, not oppa. (Nuna - Older sister to a male)
Song Jeong nuna!
Nuna!
What's this?
Hey girl. Aren't you wishing me a happy birthday?
This is just the date when we came here. Who says it is my birthday?
A birthday... is just the most exciting day.
This is the day when we both came here and met for the first time.
So the birthday is the same one.
The day that makes us happiest, right?
That's why it is the birthday, you know.
Song Jeong.
Though we don't have parents, and have nothing that we own so far,
you know something?
We have the warmest hands in this world.
Empty-hands that hold nothing.
Only with an empty hand can we hold another hand, right?
How is it? My hand is warm, right?
My hand is warmer.
Fine. Your hands are even warmer.
Han Song Jeong. Song Jeong... Wish you a happy birthday.
Hey, if you are feeling unwell, just say you are!
I will be fine if I sleep a bit, so just leave me alone, please.
Aigoo. You look terrible, with even a headband.
How can I just leave it at that?
Are you happy now?
Because you keep talking,
I can't even get some sleep, you know!
If they keep hearing that you're unwell,
you will get the kids worried.
That too, one who laughs even when badly sick.
Then how can you just spend the daytime covered in a blanket?
I keep hearing you sigh, which is why I'm asking.
What, I can't even sigh when I feel like?
Look at you.
Does that do?
Now, stop asking me to talk, okay?
Really... See how you look!
What happened, for this?
I enjoyed the play today, and thank you for the meal too.
Also, I am sorry...
that you couldn't even eat properly.
Oh, it's alright.
It's fine if we eat again later, I guess.
Huh?
You treat me next time, Jeong Da Jeong.
I can't afford it at such a place.
Even at this time, you stand firm.
Today went in Seo In U style.
Next time, do it in "forward-backward" Jeong Da Jeong style.
We need to figure out each other to get close. Isn't it so?
In any case, I'll treat you to a meal later. Then...
Let's go together.
Da Jeong, what is going on here?
Whatever is the deal, spill what all you know!
Who brought these books here?
Mom did.
Someone's stuff, so don't touch, she said.
It's all Mom's books, no?
Mom asked not to touch. Why did you?
Da Jeong.
Now you are yelling at me?
Before Mom sees, clean this.
Let's gather it fast.
So the book wasn't getting sold?
Then, what is with this best-seller thing?
It was Mr. Lee who bought them.
Mom didn't even know.
Act like you don't know.
This book is Mom's self-respect.
May be nothing else,
but at least that we should protect for her.
Da In, get me some tape.
Mr. Lee really is too much.
What a thing to happen...
How could it?
Oh no... What do we do? I didn't even... know that this happened to mom.
Had you known it,
would you have broken up with Doctor Gang?
Please don't say it.
It's not just you, eonni. I also...
had nothing I could do to help Mom.
That's why I asked to gather this fast.
Next door ajussi asked us to make today Mom's happiest day.
He made a rice-flour cake too.
It was Mom who made birthdays for us.
That means... it is us... who should make today Mom's real birthday.
She is not taking it.
Keep doing it.
Sorry for being late.
Is there some problem?
Aigoo. It's pretty big.
What is this?
I've been doing some donations.
Wonder if they somehow took the picture then?
Secretary Yang.
Yes.
Good deeds should be kept low key!
Right away... erase it for her.
Sure.
No need.
I already erased it.
Erased it?
It's those who do such pretentious things, and get photos taken, that I hate the most.
If you have such time, you should've just given help to a child.
If she saw that photo... she would feel respect, you said!
I am sorry.
Damn, damn...
Better look for other ways.
I enjoyed the book.
What to do, what to do, what to do?
What to do... what do I do?
Oh no, did he see this?
I can't take this, really... I'm going insane.
What is it?
Oh.. It's nothing... in particular.
What was that? This woman... has a way of making people curious, I'd say.
Father. You had a good time with the children?
Yeah, yeah. But, with the children holding me back,
I haven't been able to leave yet.
You are pretty popular, it seems.
Yes. Please be careful on the road.
Jeong Da Jeong.
Seo Jae U.
Where are you going?
For Mom's birthday, I am off to buy things.
Birthday?
Your mother also has today as the birthday?
Yes.
Then... I am running a bit late.
Please come in the car. It seems urgent.
It's not heavy?
We can exchange.
If we exchange, I think I'll be saying the same thing in no time.
"It's not heavy? Let us exchange."
Is that so?
What should I give as a gift to Ajussi?
Didn't you make bean-meat for him?
Today he even made cake for us.
I am manyfold more thankful, but instead of saying it, I want to at least give a small gift.
Then what should I give Author Han as a gift?
To my mom?
Right.
She gave me the book today.
As I am touched manyfold more,
I want to at least give a small gift.
Sounds good.
Then, let us think of each other's gifts.
I've already thought of it though.
Huh?
You want to buy socks?
Father's gift.
He is always standing a lot at work.
Which one is good?
You pick, as the gift-giver.
This one.
This must be a record. Just one minute, and the shopping's done!
Shall we try a competition on your mother's gift?
Fine.
I think we're already way over a minute!
Women's gifts are a tough thing.
I have picked it already.
Which one?
You pick, as the gift-giver!
The type Mother likes is...
Mom likes the simple types.
Her clothes are like that, and so is everything at home.
Then this one.
No. It should be the simple one.
But you said so is everything at home.
So, this time, it's this.
Too ornate, though.
You want to bet on whether she likes it or not?
Good then. I think I'll win, after all.
What do we bet?
Do what the other one wants.
Author Han.
What's wrong?
Earlier once you had said...
You had said I was a dude like THAT.
What was the THAT?
Like I know it?
I couldn't think a damn thing, and had just said he was THAT!
That THAT. What was that?
Well, that.. that was...
Huh?
What are you doing now?
You got up suddenly, and the hand went in!
What that THAT was... tell me that. What was that THAT. That THAT, that THAT.
Oh, that was... Ah, damn.
Once I'm done writing the autobiography, I'll tell you.
Oh, tell me now. I am dying of curiosity.
If you're so curious, then terminate the contract.
How is the situation progressing there?
The inside temperature is now up to 30 degrees.
Ah, why is this room so hot?
Raise it more.
I am quite fine though.
If you wear all that stuff, it would be hot.
Take the jacket off, may be?
Oh, so hot.
Author Han. Oh, since you're working so hard...
Refresh by drinking this!
Also, this jacket... shall be hang over there.
No, it is quite all right.
No, no!
Allow me!
Why is he suddenly so cordial?
Hey, why are you hitting me?
Because you need a spanking.
No. As I was about to hang it, the paper fell out--
You better not lie to me.
Try that crap ever again and see.
I mean.. for a woman, why does your hand sting so much?
If I really make up my mind,
I can even break your ribs apart.
Ribs?
In school days, I was a volleyball player, you see.
That's why earlier you...
Today, let me stop and leave.
Right now?
I mean, right now?
Need a bus pass. Where to buy the pass?
Hey. Hey. Ajumoni. (Ajumoni - Respected old lady)
Get in please.
You! Get in!
"You, get in" you said? How old do you think you are?
Really so embarrassing.
Like you should talk, ajumma.
How old are you, to play hard to get?
Han Song Jeong... Madame Author!
Ah really... this sleazebag!
You can't do it quietly?
Han... Song... Jeong... Madame Authorrrrr!
What's going on?
This ajumma is something else.
This street is for this?
Say that again!
Seriously. Give me a break!
Hey.
Asleep?
I'm back.
Son-in-law Seo?
Oh... heck.
Son-in-law Seo.
Yes, mother-in-law.
Why are you back so late? I was waiting for you.
As I kept playing with children,
I didn't notice the time at all.
Oh, okay, okay, okay. That is really so nice.
Aigoo. You were away only for the day,
but your face looks thinner already.
What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you.
Oh, I had eaten a big special breakfast!
I can just eat what's left of it.
No, no.
You are the backbone of the family. How can I let you eat left overs?
That too, today is your birthday!
I will make it. Tell me what you want.
Looks like I'm still enjoying the birthday!
Aigoo. So happy, I don't know what to do.
Son-in-law Seo.
Over this while, even if I did anything wrong,
I hope you'd forget it,
and if my Sin Ae is lacking in anything,
I can make up for it too,
so I hope you'd understand...
at least I hope so.
Mother-in-law. Why are you like this?
On such a good day, I ended up crying.
I guess I'm crazy. Please understand.
Right. You are my son.
Not a son-in-law, but a son. You know, right?
Oh, mother. Of course.
Mother, I'm hungry, okay?
Sure sure. Go and wash up. I will make something, okay?
Yes, yes.
Mother-in-law looks quite worn out.
That's right. If you think of at least me, you can't be two-timing her.
You can't do that.
Author Han.
What are you doing now?
What did I do?
What are you doing, bringing your arm up here?
I've always done it like this.
By chance, you aren't looking at me as a young man or anything... Are you?
I'm still only past 40.
If somebody older than to even be a nuna starts to think in that way,
to say it in one word, it's a... "base motive", right?
May be because you are up in age...
you seem not to have any spirit left.
May be go somewhere and have a late bite...
At your age, if you are dieting,
you can get osteoporosis, I think.
Now that you're giving me a ride by force,
at least till we get home, would you mind staying quiet?
Someone who was full of fight till just now,
can't turn into a demure lady like that!
But you know... is it true that you're only 53?
With those big reading glasses, you look older.
You're keeping your age concealed, aren't you?
After all, you are good at lying.
Mr. Nam Gung Yeong.
What does it look like my age is?
56 or 58, may be?
In any case, it looks... more than 53.
Could it... be... 57?
Am I right? 57.
Just that is what you show.
If it's so, see it as that.
May be I'm really 57, I guess...
What?
Then, can you guess my birthday also?
When does it look like my birthday is?
Damn...
You think I don't know that it is to get me to guess it and buy you birthday gifts?
This really must be called a "base motive".
You are going without even a word of goodbye?
Thank you.
What's with her?
Is she mad about me saying she is old?
Where did they all go?
Are they having a birthday celebration or not?
Mom.
Da Jeong, it's you?
Mom.
Is that Da Ae?
What's this?
Where are you guys?
We are always staying by your side!
Stop joking. Come out fast. I am tired.
~ Our mom... is one who was born to... ~ ~ get loved by us all. ~
~ All along in our mom's life... ~ ~ she will be getting that love ~
~ Our mom is one who was born to ~ ~ get loved by us all. ~
What are you doing?
The time I was with you is 30 years.
Me, 27 years.
Me 21 years.
For giving us birth, thank you so so much!
Mom, thank you for having us know each other.
Mom. Thank you for making us look like you, all pretty.
What is wrong with you all?
Mom. For giving us birth, thank you so much!
I said it isn't my birthday, no?
I said I didn't know my birthday.
Exactly why... every day, we'll think that it's your birthday,
and be good to you.
Today isn't good?
Then we'll repeat it tomorrow.
If tomorrow is also not good with you,
Then, we will do it every day for 365 days.
Each and every day, we will make a birthday for you.
~ Happy birthday to you. ~ ~ Happy birthday to you. ~
Quietly...
~ Happy birthday to you! ~
It was her birthday?
Aigoo. Those girls!
Han Song Jeong, you must be happy!
Son-in-law Seo.
You... this is how you are?
~ Happy birthday to you. ~ ~ Happy birthday to you. ~
~ So loving is our mother. ~ ~ Happy birthday to you. ~
Softly, I said!
Mom, then blow them out!
Really!
Wish you a happy birthday.
Han Song Jeong! Han Song Jeong! Han Song Jeong!
Let's go, let's go!
Keep going strong!
Mom, fighting, fighting!
Han Song Jeong! Han Song Jeong! Han Song Jeong!
Argh... I can't stand you girls!
Mom, wish you a happy birthday.
