Why are you staring at a calendar?
It's almost New Year's Day
What are we going to do about dad's memorial service?
What memorial service? How can we have a memorial service here?
Let's just eat rice cake soup
After we put aside the money to move out,
we barely have enough to last until the next paycheck
Still, it's New Year's
Your dad would understand
I don't know about anything else, but he was flexible
Korea's strange... It was just New Year's a little while ago
and it's New Year's again already
Yeah... Korea has two New Year's Days
It's interesting
What are we doing on the second New Year's Day?
Second New Year's Day?
What should we do...
We're both in Korea so how about we spend it like Korean people?
We can even wear hanbok
Wear hanbok and spend New Year's like Korean people?
Sure, that sounds fun
Is it okay if I have my friends over?
Friends?
I made friends that are English teachers
Let's invite them and have a party together
Korean people gather at home and play together
That sounds good
Wow it's the new game device
Should we buy it with our New Year's money this year?
New Year's money? This is $200
We can buy it if we combine our money
Combine our money? Last year we got less than $100 combined
It's different this year
How?
First of all, we're both one year older
so they'll probably give us a little more
And there are more people we can bow to
Aunt Soo-young is back from Spain, they found Uncle Jun-hyuk,
and Uncle Min-hyuk became CEO
We'll definitely be able to get $200
You're right... Okay then
Fighting!
This is so frustrating!
What's so frustrating?
New Year's Day. If I go back home, I have to make pancakes all day
You know how to make pancakes?
Why wouldn't I? You just have to pour oil and fry it until it's golden
Are you a fool or an idiot?
I asked you if you know how to make pancakes
and you're calling me an idiotic fool
Seung-hee said that being harsh is her charm
When I think about my family nagging me to get married
I get a headache too
They're always asking me when I'm getting married too
Then you two should get married
Chief! / Come on
You guys both lashed out at the same time
At least your house is in Seoul Mr. Kim
I get nauseous just thinking about going home
I don't know how many hours it'll take
Yeo Jin Gu Mung, you're not going to your hometown?
Or is Seoul your home?
Excuse me?
I guess...
Nah Jin-ah, do you have plans for New Year's?
I'm just going to rest
Wow, I've never seen so many people at the market
Me too, there were so many people
I'll go borrow the hanbok in a little bit
That sounds good
It was a really good idea to celebrate New Year's Day Korean style
Right?
Right!
Julien, aren't you going to go borrow the hanbok?
I'll go soon
Min-ah, watch this. This foreigner talent show is really fun
What's so fun about it?
All of these people are foreigners but they're really good at Korean
It's really hilarious
You should hurry and borrow the hanbok
If you're not going to borrow the hanbok right now,
do you want to make some pancakes with me?
Pancakes? Mina you should stop, why are you making so much?
Your friends are coming tomorrow, what if there isn't enough?
Okay
What's with that person
How is a foreigner so good at satoori [rural accent]?
That's hilarious [in satoori]
What are you looking at?
You're looking at that aren't you
The handsome man over there
Where is there a handsome man?
He's right there
Where?
You're so annoying
Maybe it's because everyone went home, there's no traffic in the city
There he is again... that handsome man
Stop... you're really annoying me
Really? Then I should stop... is what you thought I'd say?
What's wrong with you
There's something like a bag inside me that contains my tolerance for you
But it's full and it's about to spill over the edges right now
Oh really? So if I do it one more time, it'll spill over
What happens if it spills...
What? It spilled over already?
Yeah. You didn't know it would spill over so easily?
I didn’t know. It's New Year's Day, let me slide
Because it's New Year's?
What did you do when it was New Year's Day long time ago?
Just... I ate rice cake soup and cookies
You ate rice cake soup and cookies?
You?
Me?
Now that I think about it, I didn't do much either
Jin-ah, do you want me to fry you some rice cakes?
It's hot Jin-ah
You have to blow on it before you eat it
There we go
Dad
Am I one year older now?
Of course. After today, you're 5 years old
5 years old?
Yeah
5 years old
There he is again, that handsome man
Come here
[New Year's Day]
Mrs. Nah, can you see if the sikhae is ready?
Yes
There's so much to eat
It's delicious
Why are you touching the food before the memorial service
Why are you hitting me? So what?
Go wash up and change
Fine
Hey! That brat
Gyu-young and Gyu-ho, it's time for your New Year's bow
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you guys too and study hard
You guys are one year older now so Gyu-young you get $10
Thank you
and $10 for Gyu-ho too
Here's your New Year's money
Thank you
Mom, we're here
Come in
Grandma, grandpa, take our New Year's bows
You kids are in a rush
Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you guys too
Now it's time to give you your New Year's money
You guys are one year older now so Gyu-young you get $20
and $20 for Gyu-ho too
Me too. $20 for Gyu-young and $20 for Gyu-ho
Thank you
[Everything is going smoothly]
[We're going to reach our goal in no time]
Uncle Min-hyuk
You guys came?
Take our New Year's bows
New Year's bow? Sure, go ahead
Happy New Year
You want your New Year's money? Okay
[$50]
[Fi...Fifty dollars?!]
[Huh? We already reached our goal?!!!]
It's no fun if I just give it to you. Make a choice
Excuse me? Choose what?
I'll quiz you and if you get it right, I'll give you each $50
But if you miss, then it’s $0
You can't do that, it's New Year's Day
It's New Year's Day
Right? Then let's be fair and do it like this
If you don’t take the quiz, I'll give you $10 for New Year's money
If you accept the challenge and get the right answer, it's $50
and $0 if you get it wrong. Make your choice
Why is it like that
It's unfair
If you don't decide in 5 seconds, it's $0. Decide quickly
1... 2... 3...
What do we do?
Quiz!
Quiz? Okay
Pick one of the three: History, English, or Common Sense
Which one do you choose?
English? No... Common Sense?
Common Sense? Okay
The capital of Germany is... / Berlin!
The question isn't over yet
The capital of Germany is Berlin. The capital of Malaysia is?
The capital of Malaysia?
Ding. Sorry
The answer was Kuala Lumpur and you get $0 for New Year's money
Try again next year
What kind of situation is this
If he was going to ask for Malaysia's capital, why did he mention Germany?
What does that have to do with anything?
Right? He could have just said, 'The capital of Malaysia is...?'
If he didn't want to give us money, he should have just said so
Let it go. We still have a lot of people to bow to
We can still reach our goal
Okay. Let's go
Aunt Soo-young, Happy New Year
Happy New Year to you too
Oh yeah, I have to give you New Year's money
Yes, thank you
Wait a minute... hold on
Here. $10 for both of you
For both of us?
You're supposed to give New Year's money separately...
I know but I'm having a hard time these days
What's wrong with your expressions
You know how hard it is for me to give this to you?
I don't even have to give you this
No! Thank you
Uncle Jun-hyuk, Happy New Year
Here's your New Year's money
Why isn't anything blowing up
Great grandpa is our last hope
Where's great grandpa?
He's downstairs preparing for the memorial service
You know we have to be careful when we bow to him, right?
Of course, it depends on his mood
When he's in a good mood, he can give you $100
but when he's in a bad mood, he can give you 1 cent
Let's watch him carefully and bow when he's in the best mood. Okay?
Everyone come downstairs, it's time for the memorial service
Everybody bow together
It's been a long time
He's still the eldest?
But he's older than me
What is this? They don't even have my favorite skate fish this year
Most skate fish are probably from Russia now
They don't taste like they used to
This is magnificent
What should we eat first
My shoulders are killing me
Why do I have to suffer preparing a memorial service
for someone else's ancestors
What is this?
Memorial service for dad
I thought about it and it's New Year's Day
I'd feel too sorry to dad if we just let it pass by
You brat, you should have at least told me
so I could get some food from the main house
Why would we use someone else's food for our memorial service
Mom, let's bow
I heard that you told everyone that I got dumped by Young-suk
When did I get dumped?
You don't know anything, why are you spreading rumors
What do you know, you bastard? What do you know?
He seems like he's really mad
If we bow right now, I don't think we'll get good results
Yeah, I think he'll give us $1 or nothing at all
Our goal of $50 is never going to happen
Then what do we do? Just wait?
Instead of just waiting around
Should we try going to Mrs. Garage and the seal nuna?
Okay
You fried this rice cake because you used to eat it with dad on New Year's?
Yes. When you left us because you were having an affair, the two of us...
Alright
Let's make some rice cake soup, it is New Year's Day after all
Mrs. Nah! Nuna!
Oh my god / Hi, what are you guys doing here
Take our New Year's bows / It's New Year's Day
New Year's bow?
Happy New Year
[$2 each]
I know it's better than nothing...
but considering the dirt on my knees, I don't think it was worth it
Great grandpa is our only hope. We have to get at least $50 from him
You have to make so much food for Korean New Year's Day
This is my house
Oh you live here?
Is it half underground?
Mina, my friends are here
This is my girlfriend, Mina Fujii
Hello
Nice to meet you / Sister-in-law
You're very pretty, Julien's a lucky guy
Sit, sit
Is the rice cake soup ready?
You have to wait a little... I'll prepare it quickly
You guys want a glass of sikhae? We have sikhae that Mina made herself
Sikhae? Sounds good
Mina, could you bring us the sikhae before the rice cake soup?
Let's watch the match on TV
Why are there 3 bowls?
Just in case dad comes
Why would come to a place like this... Let's eat
Jin-ah...
Honey, I'm here...
It's been a long time
It's delicious
I can't forget your cooking even though I'm dead
Eat up, Jin-ah
I'm always sorry to you
Umm...
Did you eat? Do you want some rice cake soup?
No
Are they calling me up again?
It's New Year's Day, let me just eat my rice cake soup in peace
It's not that, I was just going to say you should come play yutnori with us
when you're done eating
Yutnori? What yutnori, you should just play by yourselves
Why are you being like that
Okay, we'll be right there
What do you know?
What do you know that you're spreading rumors
about me getting dumped by Young-suk
What?
We can't right? We should wait a little longer?
Yeah, we can't. If we bow now, it's for nothing
You're supposed to do an unstoppable high kick
Mina, can you bring us more rice cakes?
We ran out of drinks too, could you give us some more?
Okay, just a minute
Mina, bring me more sikhae too
No! What is he doing?!
Yut or mo!
It's mo!
How is she doing so well?
So the gae we got last time...
Do, gae, geol, yut, mo!
We scored!
Did Jin-ah and Mrs. Nah just play yutnori everyday in the garage?
Every time they throw it's yut or mo
I know right? Gosh...
$5 from each team please
Here
Something's going on. Are they controlling the sticks with a remote?
A ghost must be helping them
Let's play one more game
That's against rules. He's going to be in trouble when he goes back
He broke the rules at Chuseok too and he got dragged to the place
where they purify the souls that are about to enter the afterlife
Yeah, that's right. It's him
He suffered so much then, why is he interfering in human affairs again
He's going to be in big trouble as soon as he goes back up
You should stop eating. You've been eating nonstop since earlier
Your gluttony is really something
Why are you being that way about food
They say that ghosts that died full have rosy cheeks
You already died full and your cheeks aren't very rosy
So stop stuffing your face
Why are you only picking on me?
It's yut! Yut!
What's going on
I flipped them over so it's do, gae, geol, yut! We did it!
How did it just flip over at the end?
I really can't do this, I surrender
I will collect $5 from each team
Here you go
Isn't he intervening too much?
Should we go do something?
Don't do anything, he's going to be in mourning when he goes back
He's already dead, he's going to be in mourning again?
It's just an expression
Why are you nitpicking
We're all dead here
Cheers
Mina, we're out of pancakes. Give us one more plate
I'm doing the dishes right now... Get it yourself
You can take your time with the dishes, bring us the pancakes first
Do we have anymore rice wine?
Should I go buy some more rice wine and food?
No buddy, you just stay where you are
Mina, could you just bring out the pancakes we have left for now
You've gone too far
Mina...
Mina, what are you doing?
That's what I should be asking you, Julien
You said you wanted to have a Korean New Year's Day
I've been cooking and cleaning and working all day
You were just watching TV and playing with your friends
Is that how Koreans spend New Year's Day?
We're going to go / Bye
Wait
What is this Mina?
What are you doing to my pride
if you throw rubber gloves at me in front of my friends?
Your pride?
I didn't know you were like this. I'm going back to Japan right now
You bring up Japan over every little thing
I was wondering why you weren't bringing up Japan again
I'm disappointed in you, Julien
Did you see me get dumped? No, you didn't
Why do you spread rumors like that when you didn't even see it
What do you have against me?
Why did he have to be so mad today?
If he just felt better for a little bit, we could do it then
That's the sound of laughter!
Okay. If you want to fight, then I'll fight
Fine, let's see who dies first
You bastard, I'm going to teach you a lesson today
What kind of stain is this?
You're dead
We almost got in big trouble
We almost bowed to him when he was the angriest
Why is he still so angry? How long do we to have to wait?
[$154 / $200]
[Closed]
Mina, I think I went crazy for a second
I got lost in the spirit of Korean New Year's
I'm sorry, I'll never do that again. Please call me
Jin-ah, it's $150!
It makes you that happy?
Why wouldn't it? I barely had enough for living expenses
and this windfall came from nowhere
Jin-ah... Honey, I'm sorry
I'm sorry that this is all that I can do
People actually live here
Yeah...
Hey mister
Aren't you going to leave? It's time to go
I'm going
Why did you interfere so much while the living people were playing games?
How are you going to handle the consequences
It's not like I can die again
I'll come back next time
Be well
and be healthy
I love you, my daughter
Pick anything you want, I'll buy you everything
No thanks, it's fine
Pick! I really want to buy it for you
There's nothing I really need
If you don't need anything, then pick something you don't need
I said I'll buy it for you
Then can I buy one wallet?
Wallet? Of course, you can buy several
Where are the wallets?
They're over there. There’s one I was eyeing earlier
After the end of the holiday season, shopping mall sales skyrocket
Do you know why?
It's because husbands shower their wives with gifts
to relieve their holiday syndrome
The stress of cooking and looking after guests
causes mental stress and exhaustion
and it causes discord in couples
Husbands end up buying gifts a way to make amends
This New Year's Day was no exception
Reporter Park Jong-sik will continue with further details
I guess we spent Korean New Year's properly
Yeah
[tvN sitcom] Potato Star 2013QR3
We're looking at language schools for you, come take a look
Okay
Weren't you going to break up with Soo-young?
I'm in the process of doing it
How far have you gone?
Are there cherry blossoms in America?
I won't be able to see cherry blossoms before I leave
I'll have to make some memories on Cherry Blossom Road before I go
I can't even wash my hair because I can't afford the water
If you pick your nose while you talk or something she'll be disgusted
What?
You're so cute when you pick your nose
I just tried drawing it, it's a present
No one's ever drawn me like this before
Jang Yool, what are you doing? I heard you playing the guitar
