Wonderful Days
Do you know where the Kang twins live?
Who are you? Why are you asking?
You don't know them?
Father?
Father...
Did you just call me father?
Yes.
Then... Who are you?
Then you are Dong, Dong!
Tak.
Dongtak.
You're our father, right?
Yes, right! It's me! I'm your father!
Dongseok...
Our father came home.
Dongseok?
That means you are...
So you're Ok's, Dongok's twin brother?
Yes, he is.
Whoa!
Look how handsome you are!
I would've never recognized you!
Why did you come back?
How can you say that to your father
who you've not seen in so long?
What's wrong with me returning to my house?
We don't need you anymore.
You've been dead to us for a long time now.
What?
Go back to where you came from.
I brought you into this world,
and that's all a father needs to do.
There are plenty of worse fathers than me!
Go in and tell them I'm here!
Huh? Okay, okay.
Hey, take these gifts with you!
Okay, okay.
Your mom didn't raise you right!
Excuse me.
Do you recognize this woman?
Who are you?
Should I know who this is?
No, I guess not.
Serves you right.
Where did Dongtak go?
Dongtak? Tak?
Tak!
Episode 27
What did you just say?
Father's here.
Your husband, Mr. Kang Taeseop is home!
Dongtak! Tak!
Where did you go?
Yes, father! I'm...
Where did he go?
Oh, here it is!
Kang Gisu
Father!
Dongtak, open the door!
Dongtak, the door won't open.
Dongtak, open this door!
Your father's home! Open this door!
Open the door!
What's this?
Kids! Your father's home!
I'm home! Your father's home!
Father! Open the door, please!
I'm home! Open the door!
What is it? What's all this noise?
Grandpa, father's home,
but mom won't open the door!
Who's home?
Father! My father!
She can't open the door.
She should never open that door for him!
Don't let him in this house! Got it?
Kids! Your father's home!
You're not their father.
Soshim?
My kids don't have a father!
So go away! Right now!
Soshim.
Soshim, I've become a new man.
I regret all that I've done.
Just open this door and see for yourself.
After that, you can kick me out.
Stop talking nonsense and leave!
If you keep this up, I'm calling the police!
The police?
Fine! Call them!
I came home to my father, my wife,
and my kids!
What's wrong with that?
Call the police! Call them!
Call the police!
What? What's going on?
Father's outside.
Father?
Grandpa and mom won't let him in.
Dongtak!
Ssangho! Ssangshik! Open this door!
Oh!
Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
Our big brother's home.
What big brother?
Do we have a big bro...
We do, we have a big brother!
The man who abandoned his father,
his wife and kids for love!
We do have a big brother!
He's home.
Really? Why? No way? Really? When?
Outside, outside.
Did you all conspire to treat me like this?
Bastards! You're all on your mom's side?
Call my father and my little brothers.
Nobody here is on your side.
What did you say?
Have you ever thought about how mother lived
while you were gone?
She's been doing great!
She has this big house,
with all our kids on her side!
Don't you feel guilty for what you did to her?
Fine! I'm sorry, I am!
When she opens the door,
I'll beg for forgiveness.
Tell her to open it! Before I kick it down!
Kick it down, then.
Hey!
How dare he!
Soshim! Don't ever open the door!
If you let him in, I'm leaving! Got it?
Mom, what about the others who are outside?
Who cares about that?
You're really going to kick father out?
Yes, I will. He'll leave when he gets tired.
I don't think he has anywhere to go.
That's his problem.
Man! I can't believe this!
I keep running into you.
You must have a lot of free time.
Taeseop.
What?
You really don't remember me?
He's over there!
Yeongchun, you're here too?
Who?
Father, you don't remember her?
Forget it! Don't say anything!
Yeongchun.
Who is she?
Is she one of your uncle's wife?
What?
Anyway, who's he?
Taeseop, I'm Ssangho.
Ssangho!
My little brother! It's you?
Yes, it's been a long time.
But how come you look so old?
Isn't he the same age as you, Dongtak?
How have you been?
How's father doing?
Father, things are really bad at home.
Grandpa said if we let you in the house,
he'll leave.
And mom's not going to change her mind.
Why are they doing this to me?
Did I betray my country? Did I kill someone?
Let's go to the restaurant
and see what happens.
Father will forgive you if Soshim does,
and Soshim's such a softy,
so if you're good to her, she'll forgive you.
Uncle, how could you say that?
My mom's not a softy!
Man! I can't believe this!
The master of the house is back,
and I can't even go inside?
There are much worse people
in the world than me.
And they're all living like kings!
Are you okay?
Did you see him?
Yes.
He didn't know.
What do you mean?
He didn't recognize me, Soshim.
Oh my!
Oh! Just how many women did he have?
Where's karma when you need it?
He was the love of my life,
but I meant nothing to him.
I feel so bad for you.
You dealt with a lot of men at work.
Yet you can't tell a bad guy when you see one?
What about you?
Wasn't he your first and last love?
Love my butt.
Love? What's that good for?
You can't use it to make a living.
Nice.
You guys should eat, too.
It's okay. Have you been starved?
No!
Ssangho, you're a great cook!
Anyway, what's wrong with you?
You didn't seem very happy to see me.
It's nothing. Just eat.
You have a scary look to begin with.
With you staring at me like that,
how could I eat in peace?
What?
I'll see if I can get Dongok
and your grandkids to come out and say hi.
Grandpa will ease up with time.
Man! I can't even say hi to my own father.
Whatever. Let's take our time.
We'll be together forever and ever.
You deserve to be the eldest son.
You take after me, being flexible and all.
But Dongseok, why is he so nasty?
He's a prosecutor.
- A prosecutor? - Yes!
He takes after Soshim,
so he's upright, honest, and righteous.
There's no one else like him in the world.
You...
Are you sure you two are twins?
You didn't get switched at birth?
What are you talking about?
I'm not here to make you feel confused.
I just ended up here somehow.
Just ignore me and go your way.
Is something wrong?
Yes, something is wrong.
What is it?
Something happened.
I haven't been sleeping.
And I won't be able to tonight, either.
I wish I could sleep with you by my side.
But not being able to makes me more upset.
Are you still doing well?
Eating and sleeping well, with great skin?
Yeah.
I envy you.
When will I be like you?
When will it stop bothering me?
I better go.
If I stay here longer, I'll get mad at you.
Old Woman
Guksu, it's me.
I feel really awful right now,
and I'm out of chocolate.
I don't want to start up trouble.
Come and cheer me up.
So what's he doing?
Ssangshik and Ssangho are taking care of him.
Don't forget. Don't let him into this house.
I won't.
But what will you do?
He's still your son. You should see him.
It's okay. He'll give me a stroke.
Don't you miss your husband?
I know how much you loved Taeseop.
Me? Oh! When did I ever?
Oh, he's a total bas...
But he's handsome, that Taeseop.
Handsome my butt!
Did all handsome people die last winter?
He's got eyes that bulge out like a frog's.
A rotten potato would look better than him!
Oh, this is a nice place!
How did you get such a nice house?
Oh, you'll wake Soshim up!
Did you see grandfather?
Which one? Great grandpa?
The twin grandpas?
The new one! Mr. Kang Donghui's father's here.
You didn't hear all the noise last night?
Dongju, did you see him?
No. Did you?
I did. I said hi to him last night.
Does he look like the twin grandpas?
Umm...
No.
Of all the uncles, who does he look like most?
Umm... His eyes are like Uncle Donghui's.
His nose... Like Uncle Dongseok's.
And he has my dad's mouth.
What does that mean?
You just drew him out to be a monster!
I can't imagine either.
Anyway, he has a nice voice,
dresses nicely, and he's just amazing.
I wish he'd give us a big allowance.
And buy us lots of treats.
Do you think the new grandpa is Santa?
You'd accept it if he gave you money!
Are you going to school?
I said are you going to school?
Let go!
I'll let go if you say, "See you later, dad."
Oh! That's so low!
I'm not saying it. I'm not going to school.
Fine. I have plenty of strength and time,
so I can do this all day.
School's not important.
No, it isn't.
What kind of dad are you?
You won't even let us go to school?
We didn't say it, so why did you let go?
We don't have to go to school.
Children must go to school!
Go to school and study hard.
And do as your teacher tells you.
About mom...
We want to meet her.
Let us meet mom!
What will you say to her?
We'll deal with that. Just let us meet her.
No good will come of it.
So don't meet her.
That is for us to decide.
If you let us meet her, we'll forgive you.
We want to meet her
and see who she is, what she looks like.
How come you didn't sleep at home?
Where did you sleep last night?
You don't look like you slept. Where were you?
Your father's in your uncles' room.
Go there and introduce yourself.
Donghui...
How should I introduce myself?
What if he asks who my mother is?
Huh? Your mom! No, I...
He didn't even recognize you.
Say, "I'm the son you tossed out"?
Am I really even Mr. Kang Taeseop's son?
Donghui...
I don't believe this.
How can he sleep after what he caused?
Yeongchun!
Ouch! Hey!
Look at me!
I said look at me!
Woman, are you crazy?
I'm not "woman." I'm Ha Yeongchun!
From Baengnyeongdo Seagull Saloon!
Oh, yes! You are!
Yeongchun, what are you doing here?
Why didn't you tell me you were married?
Why didn't you tell me
you had a wife and kids?
Did you come here to ask me that?
I offered up my whole life to you!
My whole life!
So why did you do that to me? Why!
- Yeongchun. - Yes?
That was so long ago. I can't remember all that.
What!
You bastard! Bastard!
Why are you doing this?
You bastard! Bastard!
Is she crazy? Man!
Soshim!
Soshim, is that you?
You bastard!
Soshim, help me! Help me!
Kang Taeseop, you come here! You come here!
What is it? What's going on?
I'm so mad, I can't do this, Soshim!
I'm going to kill him and kill myself!
Why would you die? Why die over this?
I know! That's what I'm saying.
I'm going to take him with me.
He has to be gone for the family's sake!
- Yeongchun! - Step aside, Soshim!
Why are you so friendly with my wife?
Are you out of your mind?
You're living with her right now?
She's ten thousand times better than you!
Soshim.
Please go back to where you came from!
Before you came, we were doing well!
We'll be fine, so please go back!
There's nowhere for me to go back to!
I've met all kinds of women and realized
there's no one better than you,
so I came back to you! So don't say that!
You go back! You go!
Why are you here when I wasn't even here?
Look here!
Who are you?
Nobody.
What?
You're not nobody! You're his youngest son!
Youngest son?
I don't have another son!
Soshim, you had a baby while I was gone?
I had him, and he's your son!
I had him without knowing you deceived me!
Didn't you hear me?
Didn't you hear me say that
Jang Soshim's my only mom?
Don't you dare claim to be my mom again.
Soshim, you haven't changed a bit.
You're lying through your teeth.
I'm not lying.
I thought you'd be an old grandma
because I gave you so much heartache,
but you look just great!
Stop this! Get away from me! Get away!
Soshim...
Taeseop! You come in here!
Father?
Father!
Get out, you bastard!
Father!
Oh, you gave me a knot on my head!
How dare you come back here!
How dare you think you can come back!
Get out of my house! Right now!
Father...
Bastard.
Ouch, ouch... Man...
Who are you?
You're my father, right?
Who are you?
I'm Dongok.
Yes, if you're Dongok, I am your father.
How did you recognize me?
Dongtak said you had returned.
So I thought it was you, dad.
Huh?
I...
Couldn't come back because of you.
- Because of me? - Yes.
I was too sorry I couldn't come back.
What would you be sorry about?
I did something.
Then I'll forgive you.
I'll forgive you, so don't cry, father.
Is this Kang Taeseop?
Who are you?
Mister, don't you want your gold toad back?
You bastard!
You bring that back! You fraud!
I heard that contract is illegal.
I'm going to report you to the police.
Go ahead.
But before you do that,
I'll find you and get my money back!
Father, is something wrong?
It's nothing.
I heard Dongseok is a prosecutor?
Gyeongju District Court
Mr. Kang.
You have a guest.
Oh, you're here.
Don't just stand there. Come and sit down.
Prosecutor Kang Dongseok!
Who knew my son
would become a prosecutor?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Why are you here?
How could you say that to your own father?
Please leave if you're not here on business.
I do. Find someone for me.
There's a woman who stole my money...
Report her to the police. Please leave.
Man!
What good is a prosecutor son if...
Leave right now, or you'll be dragged out!
Oh, I don't believe this!
How dare you talk to your father like that?
Should I call security?
What?
Leave or be dragged out?
Oh, I can't believe him!
Why are you mad? What did he do?
What happened was...
Why aren't you paying attention?
Because I'm working.
I can't just sit with you and chat.
I can hear you, so go on.
Is that how you treat your father?
Was there a national crisis
when you were growing up?
What's wrong with all you young people?
What is it? I can spare 1 minute.
What's wrong with
a father asking his son to find someone?
Who did you ask your son to find?
The woman who stole my money.
But he told me to leave.
Leave or be dragged out.
That was what he said!
You shouldn't have done that!
What did I do?
You said you haven't been home in a while.
So?
Just think about it.
You come home after many years,
and demand your son to find someone?
The dragging out part was a bit harsh, but...
Right?
You seem more like my child to me
than my own.
Since we're on the subject of money,
when are you going to pay me back?
It wasn't even that much!
I'll pay you back, so don't worry.
I'm not worried. I'm just asking.
And I will make sure you pay me back!
If you don't, I'll go to your son
and ask him to make you pay!
My sons will pay you back.
Hey, do you want to meet my son?
What?
Why would I want to meet your son?
He'll like me, right?
He will.
Calm down. I can do this.
Oh, you startled me!
Little boy! It's been a while.
How do I look?
It's similar to what you picked out for me.
What do I know?
Why are you so down? Did you get yelled at?
Did you get into a fight?
Why don't you stay out of my business?
What's wrong with you?
I should ask the same!
You're saying one thing and doing another!
Did your temperamental
boyfriend teach you that?
How am I being temperamental?
Like you know anything!
Would you get lost?
Boy, stop butting into my business!
No way!
Where did it go?
Did I get hacked?
Hey, I didn't send those!
Whatever.
What happened?
Cham!
Cham, cham, cham!
Dongtak!
She's the woman you wanted me to meet?
Yes, isn't she totally pretty?
This is your son?
He's your son?
Yes. Doesn't he look just like me?
Mul, say hello.
I'm not going to.
Why not?
I hate her. I really hate her!
Dad, can't you just remarry mom?
Hey, Mul! Kang Mul!
What's wrong with him?
Did something happen?
Yes, lots of things.
He wasn't Jo Suji's fan. He was her son.
I'll sort this out and call you.
Don't worry about it.
Mul!
Mul, what's wrong?
Haeju looks a bit like a snob,
but she's a very kind-hearted...
Mom had a miscarriage.
And she might break up with that guy.
I just read about it.
Huh?
I feel so sorry for mom, dad.
I didn't want to upset you, so
I couldn't tell you this before,
but I miss mom so much.
Can't you remarry mom?
Dongok!
Where's Mari?
Mari's busy, so I came instead.
I'm the one who asked.
You or Mari, whoever is fine.
You two must know each other well.
Yes.
What do you think? Great, aren't they?
I was going to say that.
I really love them.
Where have you been all my life?
Your clothes are perfect for the store's theme.
Comfortable and pretty!
Dongok, will you go into business with me?
No, no. You must! Join me!
Uh...
What's an online shop?
You can sell your clothes on the internet.
I'll explain it to you in detail later.
Email me a copy of her contract.
I'll discuss it with her and call you.
Wujin, are you Dongok's manager?
I have to, no I want to make her like me.
So you be nice to me, if you want her.
Thank you.
Your name is Min Wujin?
Yes.
This is the first time you said my name.
Yes, Min Wujin.
Min Wujin, Min Wujin...
It's a really nice name.
From now on, don't call me sir or doctor.
Just call me by that nice name.
I'll call you Dr. Min Wujin from now on.
Just Wujin! Min Wujin!
I'd like that better.
Wujin! Min Wujin!
Like this?
Yes.
Is something funny?
No.
Doctor, your ice cream is melting.
Oh, it's on your face.
Huh?
Are you okay?
I'm not okay.
Dongok, let's go now.
Already?
I'm not finished yet.
Doctor...
Wujin!
Min Wujin!
Miss Kim, I'm sorry to bother you,
but can I see you?
The kids went home already, Mr. Kang.
I know. I'm not here to see them.
Does that mean you came to see me?
I wanted to ask you something.
What is it?
My kids want to meet their mom.
Should I let them?
Or should I say it's nonsense?
By any chance...
Are you nervous they'd leave you for her
if Dongwon and Dongju met their mom?
I'm sure it won't happen,
but are you worried she will hurt them?
Dongju and Dongwon are kind and smart kids.
So instead of just saying no,
why don't you trust them, Mr. Kang?
But they're still kids.
They might get hurt.
But they have you.
Excuse me?
You'll put a band aid on their hearts
and bring them medicine.
They might learn how you
really feel through this.
Miss Kim!
May I come back, if I have more questions?
You can ask me anything, whenever!
Your hands...
It's your counseling fee, Miss Kim.
So he's back?
I knew this would happen!
What are you going to do?
Are you going to kick the first wife out?
Her husband's back, so you should leave.
Where will you go?
Maybe I can rent you a room.
How dare you!
You! Say that again, and I'll beat you up!
Oh, man!
I can rent you a room! Man...
Once a mistress, always a mistress.
He came back after all these years
to be with his first wife, didn't he?
Stop meddling in other people's business!
I can't! I tried, but I can't!
Watch the shop. I'll be right back.
Where are you going?
Hey!
Are you going to see that ugly man again?
Misuk
I'm sorry.
Oh, man!
Why do you keep getting in my way?
Look who's talking!
Mr. Kang! Why won't you look at me?
You won't answer my questions at school,
making me talk to you through other teachers.
Why are you doing this?
What?
When did I do that?
Because you keep making me
feel uncomfortable.
I'm marrying Ssangho, and we'll be family.
So tell me if you have a problem with me.
Who knows if you'll really marry him?
Oh, boy...
Unbelievable.
Misuk.
How long have you been standing there?
Uh...
I just got here, Ssangshik.
Kiss me, Ssangshik.
What?
We've been dating for 10 years and
we've never even kissed.
I'm ready tonight.
Let's kiss.
Hold on! Misuk!
Hold on...
Yes! Hold on. This is our first kiss,
so it can't happen like this.
Let's find a nice place and kiss there.
This isn't right.
Oh! I'm starving! Aren't you starving?
Oh, I'm famished!
Myeongnan, sorry I'm a little late.
A little?
Do you know what time it is now?
You're an hour late for our first date!
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!
Let's go.
The movie has started already.
Let's do something more fun, then.
I'll do anything you want, Myeongnan.
So,
should I sing a song for you?
Or should I dance?
I didn't have the heart to stop her!
As she turned around to leave me!
Oh! A smile! Myeongnan, you smiled!
I did not! I won't fall for that.
Oh!
Let's go and get some coffee.
When you touch, it has to tingle if it's love!
When you hold hands like...
Oh, my!
Does it tingle?
Excuse me?
Like electricity's flowing through you?
No.
It's nice and warm.
Let's go and get some coffee.
Oh, are you finished?
You're a hard worker, my child!
So when are you going to pay me back?
Stop nagging! I'll pay it back right now!
Please do so!
I'm getting every penny back,
so don't even think about cheating me!
Okay.
You look all sweet, but you sure do talk rough.
I'll be back. I'm going to the restroom.
Oh, and someone's coming to pay you back.
Who?
My son!
It's okay. You can pay me back another time!
Oh...
Cha Haewon!
Let's go eat.
Go and eat with me.
No ulterior motives. It's just dinner.
Huh?
Dongseok!
What are you doing here?
Oh, Tak. Over here.
Okay!
Why are you two here?
How about you?
I came because father called me.
He's my eldest son,
and he's my second eldest son.
He's a little bit out of your league.
So how about this one?
Excuse me?
I've known her for about two days,
and she's a really good girl.
You said you don't have a boyfriend, right?
Why don't you two go out on a date?
Father!
Hold on! Ma'am!
- Is that a dog barking? - No, it's my father.
Call our mom!
What is she saying? Does she miss us?
Let me talk to her!
Then I'll take on a mother's role for them.
What do you mean...
Pretend I forced you to come.
- Let's help each other. - Help each other?
Don't say anything!
You and I were no longer ever since that day.
Haewon.
Taeseop, what did she mean by "that day"?
What happened "that day," Soshim?
