Where are you headed?
I'll drop you off.
Get in.
Get in, Haewon.
It's okay.
I don't like getting rides.
Yes, uncle.
I'm here. I'm coming in.
You'll be so hungover that way!
Slow down, and eat some food. Man!
Uncle?
Oh! Come sit down.
Excuse me, let me have another bottle.
Why are you drinking here
and not at mom's place?
We don't want your grandpa to find out.
He said he'd beat Ssangshik to death
if he catches him drinking.
So why is he drinking?
You think he can quit drinking?
Eat some food, too, you fool!
It's okay! I have some here!
If I fill up on food, I can't drink.
Ho?
I've given this a lot of thought,
and I think Dongseok
doesn't respect us.
He needs to go to work tomorrow,
and he needs to unpack his stuff.
No, this is him disrespecting us.
I took medicine and worked out,
just to go drinking with him tonight!
He thinks we're country hicks.
He doesn't. You're his uncle!
He's a country hick, too.
What?
He's not a country hick.
He looked like a city boy.
He thinks he's better than us.
That's why he won't live with us
and wants to live on his own.
Why are you drinking all by yourself like that?
Ouch!
Uncle!
Answer your uncle's question.
You think you're too good for us, too?
Because we're country hicks?
Don't hit his head! It kills brain cells!
He wasn't even bright enough
to finish high school!
Oh, goodness!
He didn't drop out because he wasn't bright.
He got kicked out for fighting over a girl.
I can't drink with you two.
I'm leaving.
Look at him!
He's leaving in the middle! How rude!
Just look at how rude he is!
Hi, did you arrive in Boston okay?
Why is it so hard to reach you?
I called over 30 times.
I've been busy. I still am.
You're avoiding my calls, aren't you?
I have to unpack, okay, Jaegyeong?
Are you angry because of my mom?
I'm not.
I told you before.
She's materialistic, so just ignore...
I said I'm not.
Let's talk later. I really have to unpack.
I love you.
I said I love you, Dongseok.
Okay...
The Little Match Girl lit her match again.
A Christmas tree appeared in the flame.
It was bigger and more beautiful
than any other Christmas tree she had seen.
She reached out
and tried to touch the Christmas tree.
Dongseok.
Did you wait long?
Huh? A little...
I got the 11:20 tickets.
Huh? But the train's that way.
Dongseok!
We have to go this way!
Dongseok!
That's not where the platform is.
We have to go that way.
Let's go home, Haewon.
Dongseok!
I'm not going! Let's run away.
I've...
I've never loved you, Haewon.
I know
you didn't like me before.
But now...
Even now,
I don't love you.
Then why...
Why did you ask me to run away with you?
"Kang Dongseok, you bastard!"
"You bastard!"
Say that, spit on my face
and go home, Haewon.
She reached out
and tried to touch the Christmas tree.
But just then, the match went out,
and the Christmas tree disappeared.
Oh, you scared me!
What are you praying for?
Your prayers never get answered anyway.
Oh, my! My baby! Let me see your face.
Oh, my!
Oh, you look awful!
Did the police beat you up?
You think I'd let them?
Besides, they don't do that stuff these days.
Then why did you lose so much weight?
Father's mistress said I got more handsome.
Don't call her that.
You won't call her "mom"?
I won't! You're my one and only mom!
I left sweet potatoes here earlier.
Did you see them?
Well, no.
Oh, did that old woman gobble them up again?
Gobble? Show some respect!
And she's not an old woman. Call her mom!
I said no!
She's not my mom. She's "old woman" to me.
Donghui, just you wait.
I'll grow on you, I will.
And you won't be able to help it!
Would you like me to find her for you?
Dongwon and Dongju's mom.
Her name's Seo Jeonga, right?
Would you like me to find her?
You're their dad?
It'd be easier for me to find her.
Send me her ID number and any other
information that might be useful.
I'll text you my email address.
Since when do you care about me?
You've been away for 15 years already!
So stay away from us for good.
Sudden change can kill a man.
I bet that would make you happy.
If I died young...
Send them to me by tomorrow.
You know how to send an email, right?
I'm not emailing you!
I want to find Jeonga
because I want to kill her.
I can't let Mr. Prosecutor find her first.
That's why I need to find her first.
My job is to prevent crimes from happening.
And like you said, if I'm so focused on
becoming successful, having a murderer
brother would be a problem, don't you think?
Your kids seem great, not like you at all.
Their mom must have been a good woman.
What are you doing?
Texting Iseul.
Unbelievable.
You're chasing after girls instead of studying?
I'm not chasing after her.
She's chasing after me.
I'm confiscating your phone.
Donghui!
Take after their mom my butt!
He's just like me when I was his age.
Give me back my phone!
You should be studying!
If you don't study and chase after girls,
you'll become just like me.
Is that what you want?
Of course not!
Why not? What's wrong with me?
How weird.
Why does she like studying so much?
Jeonga and I hated studying.
Dongok...
It's me, Donghui.
What sweet dreams are you having tonight?
Didn't I tell you never to return?
My money! My money!
What money? Leave! Leave!
My money! Sir, my money!
I can't help you!
All you can say in Korean is "my money"?
I can't contact him.
I gave him 2,500,000 won
because he offered me a job at the factory.
I didn't even leave any money
for my baby's milk.
If I can't find him, we're going to die.
What are you saying?
I can't understand that gibberish.
You should go to the police station.
This is the prosecutor's office.
Go to the police, you know?
Do you have his business card?
Who are you?
How did you meet him?
Who introduced him to you?
He was a customer who often visited
the restaurant where I worked.
He said he can get me a job
at the textile factory.
He has some connections, too.
I think he's an illegal broker.
Accepting commission itself is illegal.
Are you an illegal alien?
Do you have labor certification?
Anyway, it's too cold now, so you just go back
home for your baby not to catch a cold,
and come back to me tomorrow.
And here's my name and number.
Probably, it's not possible to catch
the broker right now.
But I'll find a way.
So come visit me tomorrow,
and you can bring my coat back then.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Can you speak Korean?
Yes.
Who are you?
Are you the new...
I'm Prosecutor Kang Dongseok,
and I got assigned here.
Wake up, sleepyhead.
How can you be sleeping in till this hour?
Kang Donghui!
Where's my ring?
Hey!
Taking 50 cents for this milk out,
you owe $2299.50.
Are you crazy?
Give me back my ring, before I get mad.
If you loved her so much,
why didn't you treat her better?
Who says I loved her that much?
They should make a law for men like you.
You should get 10 years for
every heart you break.
Are you done?
I'm not done.
Just stop.
I don't want to hit a woman.
For the last time,
where's my ring?
I ate it. You're going to gut me?
You think I won't?
You want me to end your life here, idiot?
You want to become a murderer, stupid?
How dare you! I'll kill you!
I don't mind dying, but I'm worried about you.
Wow, you're at it again?
Oh, I'm sick and tired of this.
Tom and Jerry got along better than you two.
Donghui, go fill up the gas tank.
I need to go somewhere today.
Yes, boss.
Be nicer to Donghui.
He's like my little brother.
Treat him like you treat me.
Why did you lend money to my family?
Why did you lend them money?
Remember? This company lends money
to people who need it and charge interest.
If my mom and my sister come again,
please throw them out.
No!
They're our VIP customers.
How can I throw them out?
Did you sleep here again?
Yes.
Well...
From now on, don't sleep in the office.
Come sleep in my bed.
Did I tell you my bed was built by
an Italian craftsman?
I want to sleep in your bed,
but I like beds made in Korea.
Should I get one that's made in Korea then?
Oh, my!
You must be the administrative assistant.
I'm Yu Sunyeong.
You must be Prosecutor Kang Dongseok.
Yes. It's nice to meet you.
No, the pleasure's all mine!
It's really nice to meet you.
I heard you were handsome. They were right!
The other assistants are all jealous,
asking me to treat them to dinner.
Where's the manager?
Oh, he went to the sauna.
He didn't go home for days,
and he got really smelly.
I aired the office out, but it still smells.
Is it really bad?
The stench of a widower
won't go away, even after spraying bleach.
I'm not a widower.
I'm Park Gyeongsu.
Welcome.
I'm Kang Dongseok.
I look forward to working with you.
Why did you spend the night here?
There wasn't even a prosecutor in charge.
We're always flooded with work.
I'm sure it's not as serious as it is in Seoul,
but lots of things happen here, too.
I'd like to talk to you in private.
Should we step outside?
Okay.
No! I'll leave you two alone.
It's about Mr. Han's Royal Hotel case files.
I'd like to have them all.
You're going to do that on your first day?
Is there a reason why I shouldn't?
It's not that.
Mr. Han was attacked because of that.
They're beyond rational comprehension.
I know.
That was what I thought.
You shouldn't take this lightly.
If you're going to give up,
you shouldn't even start...
I have to start the case to see
whether or not I will give up, right?
It'll be a very difficult fight.
If it were an easy fight,
Mr. Han wouldn't have brought me here.
Is Ms. Yu someone we can trust?
Ok!
Dongok!
Mom!
Why are you standing out here?
I got bored.
Were you waiting for Dongseok?
He came by yesterday.
He won't be back for a while.
I wasn't waiting for Dongseok.
Oh, you're lying now!
Then why did you hide in your room last night?
Mom.
Yes?
I'm sorry.
For what?
For everything...
For making things hard for you.
You haven't.
You haven't made anything hard for me.
I should be the one apologizing to you.
What happened to you is my fault.
Don't say that.
No! It was all my fault.
I said the wrong thing...
Don't say that.
It wasn't your fault.
It wasn't your fault, mom.
Soshim! Soshim!
What's wrong? Is there a fire somewhere?
It's our home that's on fire.
Soshim, father's gone on a hunger strike.
Father's gone on what?
Are you fighting for democracy or something?
If you go on a hunger strike,
your ridiculing those who do it for
really good reasons. It's sacrilege!
Shut up and leave me alone!
Have you gone senile, father?
How dare you ask me that?
Who do you think you are?
Then please grow up
and don't make things hard on poor Soshim.
What is it, father?
Why are you refusing to eat?
He's acting like that because he's upset
about Dongseok living at
the official residence and not here.
You're his mother,
so why didn't you make him stay?
I can't control him
just because I'm his mother.
Just let him be and go about your business.
He loves to eat, so
he'll eat when he gets hungry.
How dare you say that!
I can't believe my wife gave birth to him.
What Ssangho said was right.
Soshim doesn't show it,
but her heart is breaking right now,
so how could you do this to her?
Even Dongju and Dongwon
wouldn't act this immature, father.
Stop that, Yeongchun.
I'm not taking one bite of food from now on.
I'm going to starve to death right here,
so don't go crying by my coffin later,
regretting how badly you treated me.
Father.
I'm not doing this for show!
I'm a man of my words!
Mr. Kang.
Mr. Kang!
Come and have lunch with us.
It's 20 minutes past lunch time.
I'm fine, so you two go ahead.
And will you bring back a sandwich for me?
Join us. It's your first day.
Please join us.
We should at least have lunch together.
Okay. Maybe I should.
How does it taste?
This is a pretty famous restaurant.
It's delicious.
Ms. Yu, can you call the Ministry of Employment
and Labor to find out how to file
for an illegal broker complaint?
Oh, right. The guard told me about that.
It's for that Filipino lady with the baby, right?
And call the employment center and
find out if there's a job near Gyeongju for her.
I will. You're a very caring person.
This is really delicious.
Oh, yes.
Huh? Look who's here!
Why, hello there! Have you been working out?
Oh, look at that figure of yours!
Oh?
You want the special?
It's okay. I'm here to see my brother.
Oh! He's over there!
Prosecutor Kang!
Prosecutor Kang Dongseok!
Do you know that man?
He's my older brother.
He's my little brother.
Oh, boy.
I went to your office, and they told me you
were at lunch. I looked everywhere for you.
The soup here is amazing, isn't it?
Why didn't you call first?
I left my phone at home.
Hello.
You must be Dongseok's co-workers.
Oh, it's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
We're done, so we should head back.
- Excuse us. - Uh, well...
Please look after my little brother.
Oh, boy.
Is something up?
How many pieces of meat did you get?
If you had told me you were coming here,
I would've told the cook to give you more.
I know everyone on this street,
so if you have any questions...
I asked if anything's up.
Something's up with grandpa.
Like what?
He's really hurt you didn't
move in with us, so he's not eating
or taking his medicine. He's being awful.
Oh, grandpa is so immature.
We thought we could talk him out of it,
but you never know with old people.
So I came to tell you that.
I know you don't care about us much,
but you can't do that to grandpa and Dongok.
I'll pay for your lunch.
I know I don't save much money,
but I make a bit more than you do.
Can I get the bill for my brother?
Hello, Dongtak.
Look who's here! Haewon!
You remember my brother,
Dongseok, don't you?
He became a prosecutor.
Dongseok, remember Haewon?
Mom used to be her housekeeper.
We saw each other yesterday.
You did?
Oh, right. Haewon,
I've been meaning to call you.
A friend of mine wants to be set up with you.
What do you think?
No, thank you.
Why not?
His father runs a butcher shop, and he's got
a college degree! He's short but really nice.
I already have someone in mind.
Oh, right, right, right.
Your boss, Oh Seunghun?
I heard you've been chasing after him.
It's not like that.
He's interested in me, too,
but he's playing hard to get.
Okay, fine!
I have to go.
See you later!
I'll drop by after work.
You will?
I'll tell grandpa and mom.
I'll see you again. Bye.
Haewon, the interest.
Oh, yes.
You missed payments for 2 months of interest.
Isn't it 1 month?
Oh, you forgot again?
Check it out for yourself.
August and November, right?
If you forget it again,
I'm going to cry, okay?
If you ever need to borrow money, call me.
A high government official like you
gets a special interest rate and extra...
I don't want to
use my standards to judge another person,
but was this the only job you could get?
Was this the only job Cha Haewon could get?
Yeah, it was.
If I see Dongseok again,
I'm not going to hide.
Honest! I'm not hiding again!
Dongok!
Haewon!
When did you get here? Did you come alone?
I came a while ago, and I came alone.
Guksu opened the door for me.
And Guksu... Went to pee.
Did you have lunch?
Yes.
I made new clothes for Gretchen.
Oh! How amazing!
You like them?
Yes! These are so pretty!
Did you make them yourself?
Gretchen's so lucky!
Let's try these on, Gretchen.
Wow, Gretchen looks like
a princess, not a Little Match Girl.
They're really pretty?
Yes.
You must have been busy,
what with Dongseok coming and all.
You didn't have to make these now.
I didn't get to see Dongseok.
Why not?
Because I was too embarrassed.
I saw him.
You did?
Did Dongseok grow really tall?
Yes, this tall!
Isn't he handsome, my Dongseok?
Yes.
Even if he wasn't a prosecutor,
he could make a living off his good looks.
You think so?
Haewon, you're really pretty, too.
You're the prettiest girl I know, Haewon.
No, you're the prettiest girl I know.
Dongok, can you make me some clothes?
For you?
Yes, try making some people's clothes now.
I'll introduce a dressmaker to you.
You're really good at this, so
you'll learn quickly.
People's clothes?
Maybe if I wear a dress you make,
I can become a princess, too.
Haewon?
Haewon!
Yes, Dongok?
Where did Donghui go?
The barber fled last night.
And he ripped us off!
Boss is going to get so mad at Haewon.
She never makes this kind of mistake.
She hasn't been herself lately.
I don't know what's gotten into her.
You should give up, too.
Give up on your finding your ex-wife
and start seeing that girl who likes you.
She's much prettier than Jeonga.
To be honest, Jeonga was so ugly!
When you told me you were marrying her,
I thought you had gone blind.
What's wrong with Jeonga?
She's 1000 times prettier than Kim Taehui!
She's at least 100 times prettier! Okay?
If she's 1,000 times prettier than Kim Taehui,
I'm 10,000 times more handsome
than Jang Donggun.
Tada! Guess what this is!
If you solve these problems,
I'll give you a 3PM badge as a prize.
See? I'm wearing one, too.
Don't you want one? Don't you?
Yes...
So, who wants to go first?
Dongwon! You look like you're dying to.
No! I'm not dying to solve it.
Kang Dongwon, come out.
Let's watch him solve that problem.
Fill in the blank with the right number.
What number do you need to add
to 999 to make it 1,000?
What are you doing, Dongwon?
Ms. Kim, the chalk's too small for me.
I can't write with these.
How strange!
Why do all chalks break
whenever you come up here?
I wonder why that is!
I have no idea why.
I know what you did 1 minute ago!
Class captain!
Yes!
Your parents should learn about this, right?
Yes...
Get your mother's signature on the note.
Okay...
Aunt!
Why are you sitting here?
I'm so embarrassed of Dongwon.
But that happens every day.
Have some milk.
It's good for stress. Drink up.
Thanks.
Oh, this is too much!
How am I supposed to tell mom?
Don't, then.
My teacher told me to get mom's signature.
But grandmother can't read.
Or ask my dad to forge
her signature like last time.
What if Dongtak yells at Dongwon?
My dad was a terrible student,
so he wouldn't yell at him.
What about breaking the chalks?
I heard my dad was just as bad.
Compared to him, Uncle Dongwon's nothing.
It sure is great
that your dad was a really bad student, huh?
I have a feeling Uncle Dongwon will
turn out just like my dad.
Or just like Uncle Donghui.
Oh, he shouldn't be like those two!
He has to turn out like Dongseok!
My dad has a few strengths, too.
Haeju! It's been so long!
Were you on vacation?
I went to Phuket.
I got tan, huh?
Where? I can't tell.
Look carefully at my legs.
Or maybe you were vacationing in your room.
Can you push this out of the way?
Do you just let anyone into this establishment?
How can you let him get a facial here?
Cha Haeju, when is it?
What are you talking about?
I heard from my friends
that you're marrying some ugly dude.
He's a dermatologist?
Oh, you're marrying a doctor?
Mind your own business, you all.
What do you care if I get married or not?
What's wrong?
Did he dump you for being too old and rude?
Kang Dongtak, your
ex-wife's on weekend dramas these days.
Her luck changed after she divorced you.
Mind your own business.
And it's her third leading role!
She should've divorced you sooner.
Stop it.
She's all successful,
but you're not because of your accent.
Life is so unfair, right?
Why can't you get rid of your accent?
Is there a problem with your oral structure?
No, it's probably because you're dumb.
You! I'm going to kill you!
What's this...
Something's up with grandpa.
He's really hurt you didn't
move in with us, so he's not eating
or taking his medicine. He's being awful.
I know you don't care about us much,
but you can't do that to grandpa and Dongok.
Donghui...
Is Dongseok your only grandson?
Only the successful one's your grandson
and Dongtak, Dongok and I are not?
He didn't say that.
Oh, please quiet down and get out.
Eat your food, grandpa!
My mom's not eating because of you.
If she gets sick, it's your fault!
Don't tell him I didn't eat!
I ate kimchi, rice and everything just now!
Stop lying, mom.
Grandpa! You can't do this to my mom!
Don't you have a conscience? You can't do this!
Please! Hush up, boy!
How dare you yell at your grandfather!
Her husband, your son, was a womanizer
and left the house 30 years ago,
but she's been taking care of you still!
Cleaning your dirty diapers for over 10 years!
She's never done anything for herself!
What about my mom's life?
Is my mom this family's slave?
Don't you feel sorry for her?
That's why I'm going to die!
I'll die so your mom won't have to worry!
Man! Grandpa!
Wait, you deserve a spanking!
Please! Shut up and leave!
If you keep screaming at your grandfather,
I'm going to call the police!
I'll tell them to put you in prison!
Get out! Leave, boy! Leave!
Get out! Leave!
Oh, Dongseok.
It's Dongseok and grandpa's fault
that Dongok is like that!
I know it!
Dongok isn't normal
because of grandpa and Dongseok!
I've known it all along!
No, you're out of your mind.
I should call the police.
Hello?
I need the police here right away!
There's a man who's gone crazy here.
Please tell them to come and arrest him!
Father... I'm sorry.
It's all my fault, father.
I'm sorry, father. It's my fault.
Father...
Grandfather.
Hey! Stop pacing back and forth. Sit down.
Yeah?
I don't have a lot of time left, Dongseok.
Maybe a month or two...
I can tell.
So before I die,
stay by my side.
Give me baths,
change my diapers...
And stay by my side when I die, Dongseok.
Oh, man.
Hey, what happened?
Dongseok is moving in!
- He is? - Really?
Soshim!
Dongseok is moving in with us.
He's going to get his stuff.
And father's going to eat.
Aren't you happy?
Get father some food.
He hasn't eaten all day, so give him
the porridge I made.
Okay, got it.
Get me my costume and meet me at the club.
I'll be right over.
I wish I could help you with the move,
but I just got booked for a gig.
It's okay.
I'll just bring what I need right now
and call a moving company this weekend.
Good for you.
A family should live together.
Yes, Donghui.
Dongseok's moving in with...
What?
Dongok got into an accident?
How serious is it?
How did she get into an accident?
Huh?
She was with Haewon on her scooter?
Did Haewon get hurt, too, then?
Subtitles by KBS World
Don't get sick, Soshim.
If something happens to you, I'll just die.
What were you doing together all night?
Haewon and I are lovers.
You lost your mind after your father died.
I haven't lost my mind.
3 times 8 is 21, isn't it?
How dare you!
Donghui!
You're so smart! Who do you take after?
Dongseok!
Put that on this credit card.
That stupid and vulgar housekeeper's son
who was below us...
You did all this! Oh Chisu!
What are you going to do?
Get out of there!
Donghui treats Dongseok like his enemy.
Get out.
You get lost!
Get out!
