This is Kang Dongseok.
Dongseok,
Chief Prosecutor Han was attacked.
I just got a call from Gyeongju.
Are you sure about it?
We'll need to investigate it further, but yes.
You met him in Seoul a few days ago?
What did you talk about?
Dongseok,
I want you to come and help me.
It's your hometown.
There's no one better for this job than you.
Dongseok!
I'm sorry, chief prosecutor.
I don't want to go because it's my hometown.
Please ask someone else.
I'm sorry.
Dongseok!
Kang Dongseok!
Dongseok!
Kang Dongseok!
Why won't you answer me?
Oh, you had headphones on...
What is it?
What's this?
Dongseok, I borrowed this from your room.
This isn't my book.
It's brand new.
Uh...
I lost yours, so I bought a new one.
But I never lent any books to you.
Huh? Well...
My mom sent me to see your mom,
and...
I kind of ended up in your room,
and that book was so interesting...
Did you steal it?
I didn't steal it. I just...
I meant to give it back right away, but...
This one's not my book.
Find mine and bring it back.
Why haven't you responded to my letter?
Did you even read it?
I didn't.
Why didn't you?
I didn't have the time to read it.
And it's not worth my time.
That letter...
Do you know how humiliating it was for me
to actually write that letter?
How should I know?
Dongseok, do you really hate me that much?
If you have time to waste like this,
go and study, Cha Haewon!
I wouldn't be doing this if I could focus on that!
Oh, who let that dog out?
Hey, doggy!
I feel awful right now,
so don't bother me and go your way.
Shut up!
Just be quiet and go your way!
Man! You think you can take me?
You want a piece of me?
Mommy!
Are you out of your mind?
Why did you pick a fight with a dog?
He picked a fight with me.
I was angry because you broke my heart,
and that crazy dog barked at me.
He kept bothering me.
So you were going to fight with that dog?
Well, I was going to just talk to him...
I didn't think he would really bite me.
I'm not as heavy as you thought, huh?
You are.
Just because you hold your breath,
it won't change 55kg to 45kg.
I don't weigh 55kg!
In my underwear, I weigh 51.3kg.
Ring the bell.
Huh?
Okay...
Oh! Don't cry!
Why are you crying?
What's wrong? What happened?
Why is Dongok crying? What happened?
Oh, I'm furious! I am!
Stop crying!
I should be the one crying here, not you!
What... What happened, madam?
Did Dongok do something to upset you?
You know that new bed for Haeju
we just got from Italy today?
Yes?
What do you mean, yes?
Your retarded daughter
was sleeping in that brand new Italian bed,
snoring and drooling all over it..
Oh, so gross! What will you do about that?
I'm sorry, madam.
Ok, did you really sleep in Haeju's bed?
Why are you asking that retard?
She's not a retard!
Madam, Ok isn't retarded.
Then why would a grown up girl
act like that, clinging to her mom's skirt?
Fine. She's not retarded.
Your daughter's a real genius.
I'm sorry, madam.
I'll wash the linens and
the comforter right away.
Washing won't do anything!
The thought of it is gross and disgusting.
Since Haeju and Haewon were little,
I never even took them to
the public bathhouse because it's gross.
And both Haeju and Haewon
are picky and neat freaks.
Oh, if Haeju found out about this,
she'd tell me to throw that bed away!
You have to pay for it! You have to!
How much was the bed?
You think you'd actually be able to afford that?
You couldn't, even if you sold yourself
and everyone in your family!
Oh, what do I do? So gross!
Oh, this is so upsetting.
This is crazy.
You can go inside, can't you?
I'm okay.
Did you sleep well, Dongseok?
I didn't.
"Haewon, how's your leg?"
You're not going to ask?
Did you study really hard, Dongseok?
You're number 1 in school, so why bother?
What are the rest of us stupid ones
who don't even study supposed to do?
Is that alcohol?
Yes.
Do you want a sip?
Your mom made this wine last year,
and I stole it.
Give me back the jar.
Give it back.
Nice going. Getting all drunk.
I'll call your chauffeur.
You think you're so special, huh?
Kang Dongseok.
Does being smart and handsome
give you the right to crush my feelings?
You're the meanest person I know.
Fine.
I'll stop.
I give up. Satisfied?
No matter how hard it is,
I won't ever,
I'll never love you!
Stop with the waterworks.
Why do you cry so often?
Because you make me cry!
Are you sure you won't regret this?
Huh?
What did you just say?
I didn't get that.
Being my girlfriend...
Are you sure you won't ever regret it?
Yes! I'm sure!
I am sure, Dongseok!
Haewon!
What are you doing here in the cold?
Nothing.
Where's the boss?
He was at Madam Jeong's place,
completely drunk.
Get him lots of water and drive him home.
Okay.
Oh, this is weird.
Why does Madam Jeong look like Haewon?
Because it's me, Haewon.
Your father's coming to the office today.
Go take a shower and come to work.
I got drunk and slept at Madam Jang's place.
I know.
How do you feel?
Not very good.
Be more specific.
I'm totally annoyed and disgusted.
Then why do you look like you're not upset?
Because since we're not together,
I don't think I have the right to be upset.
I'll make you my girlfriend for 1 minute.
So do whatever you want to do.
Can I really do whatever I want to do?
Sure.
But if I do,
you and I would end up in coffins.
Satisfied?
Satisfied!
I'll make you hangover soup,
so go and rest, sir.
Oh, that Haewon!
She gets so jealous. She loves me so much!
It makes me feel bashful!
Right, Guksu?
Right, sir.
Hey, Bongseok.
What does that say?
- That? / - Yes.
Mmm... Yum!
Ouch!
I can't believe you!
I've been cooking all day with Ok,
and you're eating all of it!
You won't leave anything for Dongseok!
I didn't eat that much.
I only ate two pieces of flower pancakes.
Two pieces of flower pancakes my butt!
You ate 5 pancakes out of the 23 I made,
11 of the 56 fried shrimps over there,
16 out of the 45 fried peppers.
And! Dongseok's favorite, fried squid!
You ate 17 out of 43 of them!
You gobbled them up!
You were keeping count?
I counted them because
I couldn't believe my eyes!
Even my pigs don't eat as much as you do.
I didn't eat that much.
Just look at me.
How can such a small, skinny,
and cute person eat that much?
I knew you'd say that,
so I took pictures to prove it.
Would you like to see them?
You're so petty!
You're making me sound like...
I'll throw it back up. Okay?
Will that make you happy?
Ugh, how gross!
What? What happened? You're sick again?
Soshim!
It's Ssangho.
I had some of the food he cooked,
and he called me names, saying I'm a pig.
So I'm trying to throw it back up for him.
Oh, why would you do that?
Eating isn't sin.
It's not that, Soshim!
I was cooking for our prosecutor,
and even though I wanted to have some, too,
I tried really hard not to.
And Yeongchun here was just gobbling...
So only the prosecutor can eat these?
You should just eat it.
I'm sure he eats plenty of good food in Seoul.
Oh, eat, eat up.
And if we run out of food, he can eat ramen.
Huh?
Are you out of your mind?
You want to make him ramen
when he's coming home for the first time
in 15 years after becoming a prosecutor
all on his own in Seoul, the heartless city?
By the way, why is the restaurant closed?
It's not like he's some king or the president.
Why did you close the restaurant?
My prosecutor nephew is coming home,
so who cares if I don't sell some pork?
If I could,
I'd like to slaughter a pig
and hold a 4-day party for the neighborhood.
But I'm not doing it because of you.
Remember how Changseong's parents threw
a neighborhood party for passing a state exam?
I think we should throw a party, too,
to show everyone who treated us
like we're below them.
Party my butt.
Stop talking nonsense
and go. By the way, but where's Dongok?
She went to meet Dongseok.
Huh? What?
She went to meet our prosecutor son.
She cooked all these
and left 2 hours ago.
It must be because they are twins.
Dongok's the one that's most excited.
Man..
Stop eating, would you?
Dongok! Dongok!
Ok!
Dongok!
Ok! Dongok!
Dongok.
Huh? Mom!
Why are you sitting out in the cold?
You're still getting over a cold.
Are you waiting for Dongseok?
But you don't know when he's coming.
Let's go home...
I want to wait for Dongseok.
Oh, you'll freeze to death!
Your cheeks are all frozen.
Let's go home.
No.
I'm waiting for Dongseok.
Oh, boy...
He won't even recognize you.
You have't seen each other in 10 years.
I have Dongseok's photo.
The one Dongtak took when he went to Seoul.
My Dongseok...
I can't even recognize him.
Okay. Let's say you recognize Dongseok,
but he won't be able to recognize you.
And he wouldn't walk here. He'll drive.
He'll just drive right past you.
So how could he see you?
And...
He could come from there or over here.
What do I do, then?
Let's go home and wait for him with me.
He'll come eventually.
Let's go home.
You got those flowers for him?
It's not like he won an Olympic medal.
- Mom. / - Yes?
What if Dongseok's embarrassed of me?
Why would he be embarrassed of you?
Because I'm retarded...
Who would say that to you?
People...
Which people?
Which bastards told you that?
You're not retarded.
You're perfect, kind and beautiful.
Not retarded.
What if Dongseok's embarrassed of me?
He'd be a terrible person if he said that.
He is why...
He better not say that.
If he does, I'm sewing his mouth shut.
And if he says that, he wouldn't even be family.
Why, I'd chase him out with a broom.
But please don't chase Dongseok out...
Even if he says it, don't sew his mouth up,
and please don't chase him out with a broom.
Okay, okay.
I bought you a pretty dress,
so put that on,
and go get your hair done at the hair salon.
And put some blush and lipstick on.
You'll look so beautiful when you see him.
And he won't be able to look down on you.
Is that good?
Okay.
Let's go.
Oh...
Just because Mr. Prosecutor is coming home,
nobody is paying attention to Donghui.
There's no tofu?
Hello? Dongwon?
This is your aunt. Are you out of school?
Oh, good.
Run over to the barber shop
and tell him to close his shop.
Yes.
Tell him Donghui is getting out of jail.
Okay.
Oh, but I'm so busy.
Dongju! Kang Dongju!
Aunt just called me.
She said to run over to the barber shop
and tell him to close up and hide.
Why?
Because Donghui is getting out of jail.
So?
He might go there and smash everything up.
Donghui's not stupid.
He just got out of jail for beating a man up,
so he won't smash up that barber shop.
You think Donghui's that rational?
Would he live like that if he did?
Anyway, I have to check in on Iseul,
so you go tell him, okay?
Why are you checking in on Iseul?
I broke her heart a little,
so I feel badly.
That little... Who does he take after?
Right! I'm busy, too.
I'm meeting mom and Dongok at the hair salon.
Hey!
Did Mul go home?
No, he was right behind me.
Over there.
Mul! Kang Mul!
Hello.
Oh, hi.
Run over to the barber shop,
and tell him Uncle Donghui is getting
out of jail, and he might smash up the shop,
so close up and hide.
Where are you going?
Don't ask.
Why aren't you calling me "aunt"?
I just did.
You better call me "aunt."
If you don't, I'm telling your grandmother.
Fine.
This is for your troubles.
Get something yummy with your friend.
Get something yummy with Mul.
You know Uncle Dongseok's coming home?
Go straight home after getting snacks.
Get snacks with 20 cents?
Seriously? Is she crazy?
Just let it go.
I can add $2 to that.
Little girl.
She's half your size, but she wants to
act like she's your aunt. How cute!
Did you just call my aunt "little girl"?
How can you call my aunt "little girl"?
You have a death wish?
Huh? Unbelievable.
Oh, hi, Dongju!
Hello.
Dongok, you look amazing!
I feel weird.
We do natural looks here,
but your mom asked for a glamorous look,
to make you look like a TV star.
And that's what I'm doing.
I'm not sure about TV star,
but she looks like a bride.
Oh, I need to get my hair done, too.
Where's mom?
She went to meet Donghui.
I heard he's getting out of jail.
Hey, I was putting lipstick on you!
I'm going to meet Donghui, too.
Don't!
He goes to jail like it's his home,
so why should anyone go see him?
He won't learn anything.
Oh, my.
I heard she's top of her class, but...
My, she's so smart. So smart.
She's right.
If everyone goes to meet him,
he'll think he's done something great.
Your mom left you here for a reason,
so let me put makeup on you. Stay.
Oh, your poor mom!
How can one of her sons
come home as a prosecutor and
the other as a convict?
Oh, she must be miserable.
That's what I'm saying.
Why are you being so picky?
Isn't it for your trouble maker son?
He'll only take a bite, so just take it.
Oh, I couldn't.
Donghui just loves tofu and beans.
I bought spoiled tofu last time,
and he got so sick.
This was made from pesticide-free soy beans?
He'll say, "You came all this way in the cold?"
And he'll smile and say hello.
Or "Old woman, go home and take a nap!"
He'll get angry and say mean things.
He'll smile and say hi.
He'll get angry and say mean things.
He'll smile and say hi.
He'll get angry and say mean things.
He'll smile and say hi.
He'll get angry and say mean things.
Oh, Donghui!
Your mom's not here. It's only me.
How are you, Donghui?
Oh, you look more handsome now.
Here's tofu. Eat this tofu first. Tofu!
Oh...
You must be hungry, Donghui.
Tada! Looks good, huh?
I packed these just for you.
Are you going on a picnic?
Huh?
Old Woman 1.
If you're free, go home and take a nap.
If you catch a cold,
you'll only cause mom heartache.
Look at you, looking after me, your mom!
Are you senile?
Why do you keep calling yourself my mom?
It's not like we related!
Mrs. Ha Yeongchun, you're Old Woman 1.
That old woman over there is Old Woman 2.
And over there is Old Woman 3.
Now you understand?
That's just cruel...
I'm not the same as strangers!
I'm much younger than your mom.
I'm only 54, Donghui.
After all, I was your father's wife once.
So treat me like a mom...
Treat you like a mom?
You seduced a married man with kids!
For your father's sake, you shouldn't be...
Father? What father?
He abandoned his parents, kids, and wife
and had so many affairs that
he hasn't even come home in 30 years?
I don't even know what he looks like!
Oh, lower your voice. People are looking.
Let them look!
My father's a huge bastard,
and I'm that huge bastard's son.
Actually, I'm even worse than him.
I'm a bastard and a total thug!
Everyone in this town knows that!
They do, but...
Old woman,
I've been dying for someone to get in my
way so that I could have reason to...
My shoulders...
So before I go nuts
and do something awful,
may I please ask you to
disappear without a trace,
as quickly as possible?
Ouch, okay, okay.
Donghui, my shoulders, my shoulders...
I don't care how mean you are to me.
I'm not leaving. I've nowhere to go!
Donghui, Dongseok's coming home today.
Mr. Prosecutor's coming home,
so don't get into trouble and come home!
What? What? What?
What's wrong with this?
Let go of me!
You stupid bastard!
A prosecutor's higher ranked!
Didn't you learn anything in ethics class?
That wasn't in ethics, idiot.
Search the internet.
A National Assembly member's higher.
You dense bastard.
Your brother is a secretary!
But he's like a National Assembly member.
The National Assembly member does
everything my brother tells him to, alright?
Oh, really?
I can't believe how stupid you are!
He's still only a secretary!
No wonder your grades were the worst!
Your grades were the worst, not mine!
My grades were never the worst!
I was only one of the worse ones!
How dare you say that?
Dongtak!
Dongseok!
Oh, Prosecutor Kang!
You got here earlier than I expected.
What are you doing?
He owns that gas station over there,
he looks down on me just because
he's got a little money!
I told him you're a prosecutor now, but still
showed no respect!
He said you're a good-for-nothing bastard
who hasn't even come home to see his own
family in 10 years!
Stop lying. I never said that!
Wow, now that he's here,
you're denying it?
You want me to bring witnesses?
The hair salon owner heard him,
the electronics shop owner heard him,
and everyone at the tea house heard him!
Dongtak!
If you arrested him for defamation,
how long will he serve, Prosecutor Kang?
Well, it was because
Dongtak took the banner about my brother...
He became a National Assembly member's
secretary, so I put up a banner for him.
But your brother took that down
and put up a banner for you instead.
So I lost my head...
He said he was reporting me to the police
and tell the National Assembly members
to fire you and all that!
Report me to the police!
You kept talking about the law.
If I broke any laws,
report me in front of the prosecutor.
I'm not doing that.
This isn't anything serious...
I know how busy prosecutors are.
Penal code 366.
You can sue him for damage of property.
If my brother damaged the banner
you put up with malicious intention,
you can sue him for damage of property.
If it's serious,
he could get up to
3 years in prison and $7,000 in fine.
Dongseok...
You're not coming, are you?
I'm going home.
You better take all these banners down,
if you don't want to go to trial.
What?
What are you good for?
You didn't know Donghui was getting out?
Mommy!
What are you doing here?
Did you get some sleep?
I was dropping the soup off and...
Lipstick stains don't come out if you don't
wash them out right away.
You want me to get out?
Don't bother.
I'm too startled to pee.
Tell me when you want to pee.
Yes, yes, it's nothing. Okay.
Make reservations at the galbi restaurant.
Call me when you locate Donghui.
Wow, you look like you're my wife.
I would love that.
Why do you like me?
Who needs a reason to like someone?
Donghui says you're only pretending.
How would Donghui know how I feel?
And during our work dinner,
I tried to kiss you after getting drunk,
Donghui said you tried to get away.
Do you believe everything Donghui says?
If you like someone, don't you want to
hold his hands and kiss him?
Have you ever gotten intimate with me?
See? I knew it.
You're not really in love with me.
Close your eyes.
Why?
Just close them.
You're going to kiss me?
I prefer French kissing rather than just a peck.
Oh! Guksu! You're back?
I'll be right out.
What was that?
Guksu got the gambling evidence I wanted!
Squeeze the water out and hang it to dry,
and microwave the soup for 3 minutes.
What about my kiss?
I'll kiss you, when the mood is right.
Why can't you just do it before you leave?
No. Mood is important for me.
I'll kiss you next time, Seunghun!
Guksu, you bastard! Awful timing!
I should just fire him!
Guksu,
bring the photo to the office.
Oh, welcome.
I think I have indigestion.
Give me some digestants.
Oh, you don't look so well!
It must be acute.
Get me some hangover medicine. I'm dying.
Oh, quit drinking so much!
You'll croak before you get married.
Take this pill with this tonic right now.
- It's $5. / - Here.
Oh, I can't believe this.
Why are you asking for medicine?
You're afraid you'll croak?
It's not because I'm afraid I'll croak.
My prosecutor nephew is coming back.
I need medicine, so I can drink again.
Get me some.
Really?
I heard prosecutors drink a lot.
I wonder how much Dongseok drinks.
I haven't seen him for so long.
Uncle.
Aren't you Uncle Ssangshik?
I'm Dongseok.
You are!
Dongseok!
Oh, you! Oh!
Ah! Prosecutor! My nephew!
Have you been well?
No! So?
Wow, we thought
you had forgotten all about us and
moved on with your life. You heartless boy!
I'm sorry.
Wow!
You've become a Seoul boy.
You don't look like you're from here.
You really look like a prosecutor.
Is everyone doing well?
What, what are you doing? Are you crazy?
No. I'm not crazy yet.
I'm trying to decide if I should go crazy.
That' depends on you.
What did I ever do?
All my life, you've been cutting my hair.
Right?
Yes, yes.
Before my wedding,
I got hair cut and styled here.
Remember that?
When Jeonga ran away,
I went around the country looking for her,
but I always got my haircut here. Remember?
Do you remember that or not?
I do, I do remember!
I treated you like my own father,
but did you know it was your son
Park Cheolmin who seduced Jeonga?
I didn't. I never knew.
It couldn't have been Cheolmin!
Someone saw Jeonga in a restaurant in Seoul,
and she was sitting with your son,
enjoying a steak.
What do you think about that?
No, that person was wrong.
Cheolmin isn't crazy.
He wouldn't seduce your wife!
He knows you'd kill him!
Man!
Donghui!
Give me Cheolmin's address!
I don't have it.
I haven't talked to him in 3 years.
I'm a bastard,
but I can't hit an old man.
So I'm going to smash things here,
- every time you like. / - Donghui,
I really don't know.
Donghui, I don't know!
Stop right there!
What do you want?
We're seizing everything in here.
So stop damaging the properties, Donghui!
What are you talking about?
Mr. Park!
You say you can't pay us back because you
don't have any money, but
you've been gambling.
That's not right!
What are you talking about?
We took photos of you gambling,
so don't even think about denying it!
Get lost, Cha Haewon.
Stay outside until I'm done here.
Why don't you get some tofu stew
and come back when I'm done?
You want to die?
If I died every time you asked me that,
I would've died 15 years ago,
and I'd be on the dessert course at a restaurant
in the heavens by now.
Are you done?
Uh, Donghui!
Guksu, stay still.
Guksu, run over to the boss
and tell him how his favorite boy Donghui
is smashing all the collaterals,
causing a great financial damage
to our company.
You!
Manager!
It's okay.
He's all bark and no bite.
Hurry up, Guksu.
Right now!
You little girl!
You want to test me if I can bite?
How dare you call me a little girl?
When you were just a baby,
I held you, changed your diapers,
and taught you how to walk, you moron!
Oh, man! Ugh!
What? Hit me!
Why did you stop in the middle?
Hit me!
Your wife ran away
because you go crazy when you're angry
and start hitting everything and everyone!
Did you really say that?
Yes, I did!
Hit me, Donghui!
I'm broke from having to pay off
my sister's credit card bill,
so help me make some money.
Hit me, Donghui!
Hit me! Go ahead!
Oh, why isn't she coming back?
Just hold on. She'll be back.
I have to go to the official residence later
because my stuff will be arriving soon.
Official residence?
What official residence?
You won't be living with us?
I have a lot of work
and commuting will be too much.
Really?
Oh, everyone was so excited about
being able to live with you.
Your mom will be so disappointed.
I'll meet the pharmacist's nephew another time.
Oh, Dongseok,
how will I look if you leave?
Her nephew wants to be a prosecutor.
You're his idol.
Stay and shake hands with him.
It won't cost you anything.
I need pills to calm my nerves!
Where's the pharmacist?
She just stepped out for a minute.
Did something happen with your family?
It's not my family,
it's yours.
Donghui!
He's at it again, after getting out of jail.
Oh, Donghui...
What's wrong with him?
Oh, who knows?
He smashed up the barber shop,
and he got into a fight with Haewon.
Get out of my way!
Why? You can't hit me?
No! I may be a crazy bastard,
but I don't hit kids and girls, okay?
$2,300. Give it.
What?
You destroyed my company collateral.
So you must pay the money.
Are you insane?
Who's insane?
I'm perfectly sane.
It looked to be about $3,000 worth,
but I'll give you a discount. $2,300.
Give me the money before you go!
Hey!
Is that your wedding ring?
Give me back my ring!
Give me the money first!
Girl, give me my ring back!
Boy, give me the money first!
Let go of me!
Give me back my ring!
Then bring the money! Let me go!
Give me back my ring!
Let me go!
Oh, man!
What do you want?
Stop it.
He's your older brother.
Dongseok.
Hello.
Subtitles by KBS World
I work for a loan company in Gyeongju.
How is Haewon doing?
They lost everything. Now they're poor.
Your mom came and borrowed $20,000.
Why didn't you tell me that sooner?
How can you hit rock bottom?
You're crazy!
I'm calling the police!
Maybe everyone in Gyeongju welcomes you,
but not me. Never.
How dare you say that?
Dongseok is here.
Prosecutor Kang Dongseok is home!
You're not crying?
It's been 15 years,
and you're not crying?
Mother...
Yes, hi...
