I want to have parental rights.
What?
- Parental rights, too? - Yes.
Give up parental rights.
Oh...?
Do you have to take parental rights?
Of course. I'm raising the kids,
so you don't have to have parental rights.
But that's too much.
If you give up parental rights,
you have no right as a father.
Think carefully before you answer.
All right. I'll give up.
- What? - I'll give up parental rights.
What is it? I'm going to give up everything.
Bastard.
- What? - You are totally insane.
How could you...
I thought you would say that you will not give that up.
I was hoping you would say that.
How could you give it up so easily?
Divorce? That's not going to happen.
And... when the kids grow up,
I'm going to tell them what you did.
Hey! Maeng Soon Yi!
Man...
Mother, please come over now.
Don't tell anybody.
You'll see when you get here.
Come by yourself. All right?
- She said to come by yourself? - Oh... what do I do?
How was her voice? Did she sound like she would pick a fight?
I don't know. I'm so nervous.
I'm so scared.
Why are you scared? You didn't do anything wrong.
Yes, she did.
She taught her kid wrong.
Please stay out of this.
Did you buy my mouth?
Why do you always get mad at me whenever I speak?
Why can't I speak when I want?
Be quiet!
What if she says something to me?
It's not your fault that Sung Moon is having an affair. It's her fault.
Then, who's fault is it that Won Man is having an affair?
She is a communist.
I can't even say anything.
Mom, shall I come with you?
Come this way, Mother.
Okay.
- What's the smell? - Please have a seat.
All right.
Tell me what you've got to say.
We can talk later. First...
- What is this? - It's sulfur duck.
What? Sulfur duck?
I boiled it for a few hours,
and the soup is great.
I asked you to come so that you can have it while it's hot.
You're not supposed to share medicines and that's why I only called you.
You should eat before anyone comes.
Aigoo!
I had a nice dream yesterday.
I guess it was for this!
Will your teeth be okay? Should I help you with it?
Oh, no.
Since you boiled it for so long, I won't even have to bite it.
It's no fun if anybody helps.
I should eat it by myself.
- Go ahead, Mother. - Okay.
This is weird.
Should I go?
Leave it. She would have called if something happened.
You know your mother.
She can handle Soon Yi by herself. Don't worry.
Aigoo, I'm so full.
- It's good, isn't it? - Taste doesn't matter.
Well, I'm just eating it as medicine.
Aigoo... look at how smooth.
I can move my arms.
I need to take this
every season.
Let me see if I can move my butt.
Aigoo! Look at this. It's automatic.
I will make it again next time.
Don't call anybody else.
Medicines should not be shared.
Mother...
What? What else do you have for me?
I'm so full now.
Well...
Actually, Mother...
Sung Moon is having an affair.
He has a woman... and it's been more than a year.
Aigoo... what's wrong with my stomach?
So... what did he say?
He is totally insane right now.
He wants to divorce. He said he will give me consolation money.
He doesn't have money for that. What is he going to live on, then?
I mean... he shouldn't divorce.
What about the kids?
Exactly.
He doesn't even come home these days.
Mother, please scold him so that he'll come back.
He doesn't listen to anybody.
He wouldn't listen to anybody but you.
Please help me.
You are the only one who can help me.
Please, Mother...
There's no other way. You should have a son.
If you have a son,
Sung Moon wouldn't have an affair.
Even if you try to kick him out, he would stay home and carry you on his back.
If you just bear with him a little and be nice to him,
You don't have to worry. He will just come back.
Everything is up to you.
You are still better than me, though.
At least he doesn't bring his woman home, right?
No wonder.
You should have always been nice.
What can I do?
What?
Here.
It's your underwear and a shirt.
You don't have to worry.
We are still a married couple by law.
I don't want my husband to be like this.
I'm going to do my job. Just as I have always been.
You can live as you wish.
Whether you live outside or live with her, I don't care.
Wandering here and there,
I've lived like a wind.
Don't ask my weight.
Don't ask if I have a boyfriend.
Do you have good news?
Oh, hi.
Whether it is good or bad, I would like some news.
There is nothing going on.
Why don't you come more often?
Your father waits for you every day.
There was a problem at home.
Does he still drink a lot these days?
He has been drinking less since then...
I guess he's scared of the police station.
It's all because of you.
Let me get two bottles of soju.
All right.
Why did you buy liquor?
I wanted to have a drink with you.
What's up with your face?
Father,
I might move.
Move?
It hasn't been long since you moved into the new house, has it?
Sung Moon is appointed to a different region.
I won't be able to come here often.
Why don't you move into
a senior house?
Why do I have to go there with homeless oldsters?
I have many kids.
That's not true.
These days people with many kids and money also...
Be quiet. That's nonsense.
I won't ask you to take me,
so tell Chul Soo to come back.
He might not be able to...
Uh? Why not?
The work over there is taking him some time...
Tell him to come at once.
He needs to repay me for his education.
Did he say he will be back after I die?
He is sixty-three. He doesn't have dementia.
He drinks a little but he is still healthy.
Yes. Could I come and take a look at the facility?
I see. How much would it cost?
Do I have to pay that up front?
Yes. So he can come in as soon as I pay the money, right?
Yes, yes. I understand.
Unni. What are you doing here?
- I need to talk to you. - Let's talk over some coffee.
No.
Let's do it here.
I am not going to live for anybody anymore.
I'm only going to worry about myself.
I'm only going to think about myself and live my life.
All right. Go ahead.
I'm going to live my life and not care about anybody.
Before I do that, let's send Father somewhere.
Where?
Let's send him to a senior house or something.
Let's pay half and half for that. All right?
What's wrong with you?
Don't say anything.
I've made installment deposits for him.
I'll call you as soon as I get that money.
Bye.
Aigoo...
why did I have that?
It's like rat poison.
It's me. Are you busy?
I've heard everything. Let's meet.
Mother, I'm busy right now. I'll stop by later.
I'll take care of it.
I said I'll take care of it.
Bye now.
Hey, Chun Won Man!
How can you be such a blabbermouth?
I'm not a blabbermouth.
Do I look like a blabbermouth?
Yes.
Hey, I had no choice...
All right, all right. All right, I won't ever have any comments
about what you do, yeah?
I'm quite busy right now.
All right. Bye.
Geez... How dare he talk like that?
Who is it?
A very unlucky person.
He is very ugly, too.
Oh...
The call was too long, right? I'm sorry.
What are you doing? People are watching.
Should we go somewhere?
We should go somewhere quiet and... talk about life.
Hey! You look so pretty today!
There you go again.
I've already done two. Do you need more?
Oh, no.
I'm not saying that because of this insurance.
You know me...
It drives me crazy to look at women like you.
I didn't know women become so sexy in their forties.
Whenever I look at you, I feel...
something itchy inside of me...
and my body burns... and...
I want to have some bread.
Your wife must be so happy to have such a funny husband like you.
I don't have a wife.
You don't?
It's been three years.
Did you get divorced?
She passed away.
Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
Let's get out.
Let's go have a drink for Chun Won Man,
who remained faithful to his deceased wife.
All right. It'll be on me.
Where are we going?
Well, we should go to a bar, right?
Okay.
Hee Mang, be careful.
What's that sound?
Who did this?
Hee Mang was looking for a dish...
What were you doing?
You should have stopped her.
I told her not to do it.
You're scary.
You're so different.
What have I done?
You're always angry...
Shut up! You shouldn't be crying.
Be quiet!
I'm having such hard times.
Can't you guys help me a little?
It's so hard for me.
Aigoo... who is crying?
Stop it!
Stop crying!
You guys are making so much noise!
Go wash up. Now!
Aigoo.
You weren't home earlier.
I've been thinking...
There is no other way. You should go to Sung Moon.
You should go to him,
beg him that it's all your fault, and bring him back home.
This is not right.
You must have done something wrong for him to act like that.
Frankly, he must be doing that because he's unsatisfied with you for something, right?
Why would such a nice guy like him have an affair without a reason?
Mother, please prepare dinner for the kids.
Where are you going again? Uh?
You called for a proxy driver, right?
I'm in front of Miyuki right now.
- Yes, sir. - Ms. Maeng Soon Yi.
Would you be all right?
Don't worry. I've never made a mistake, have I?
Well, your skill is probably still the same.
There is much competition these days,
so the fee decreased a lot.
It won't be like the old days.
I know.
This is all I can do at nights, though.
Follow me slowly later.
Hey, Ahjumma!
Sir,
I'm sorry but I'm driving right now.
Oh... that's right.
I am a successful person.
I don't worry about my living. My business is going well.
And my kids grew up well, so I have nothing to be envious of...
except for this...
All my friends have one,
but I don't.
Ahjumma,
Do you want to go out on a date with me?
I'll pay you twice as much.
You have that phone number, right?
Call me if you are interested.
Sir,
you can take a nap.
I'll wake you up when we get to your place.
You are asking me to sleep?
You are telling me to shut up and sleep?
You think I'm ridiculous?
How dare you look down on me?
Huh?
Stop the car.
Stop the car!
Oh, come on.
She probably wanted someone on her side.
You know how you are.
What about me?
You're too fair and rational, so you're cool-headed to everyone.
Other people are not like that.
They get worked up at what happens to their family members,
regardless of right or wrong.
But you don't do that.
She was probably a little disappointed at that.
I don't want her to waste her feelings on unnecessary things,
and I don't want her to get hurt by having wild hopes.
I know how you feel.
Hold on.
Honey.
Aren't you sleeping yet?
- Will you be late? - No, I won't. I'll be home soon.
I went to my parents' place today.
How is your father?
I think he is all right.
You're coming now, right?
Yes. Why didn't you just stay there?
I could have come.
It'll be uncomfortable for you. I like my house better, too.
Should I get something on my way home?
Do you want anything?
Then... could you buy me some cake?
Cake? The bakeries are probably all closed.
- I'll find something. - All right. See you soon.
Okay. Wait for me.
What's wrong?
Isn't this too much?
Yes, I know you have a wife. But I have feelings, too.
Can't you respect that a little?
This is for us.
You know I have to be like this.
It's no good for her to find out.
I feel sorry and guilty whenever I see you.
You know how I feel.
Should we drink some tea upstairs?
Just go. You need to buy some cake, right?
It'll take some time to find a bakery that's still open.
- You can go now. - Young Yi.
I know. I started again.
I guess I became sensitive because of my sister these days.
Yes. You are different today.
I had a dream.
A woman was nailing on Soon Yi's heart.
She was screaming and I tried to remove that woman from her...
but that woman...
was me.
I was nailing on Soon Yi until now.
It's terrible.
That is self-accusation. We are different, right?
Anyway.
- This is still an illicit relationship. - Watch your mouth.
Everybody says their love is different.
Yes, we are different.
We're different from adultery.
I try to bear it, rationalizing my behavior,
but it's too...
- Good job. See you tomorrow. - Good job.
Bye.
Hee Mang, Hee Mang...
You know about tonight, right?
Geez...
I get excited when women are active.
All right. Take a bath and wait for me.
Gosh... wake up!
Did you forget? Today is Tae Dong's birthday.
That's right. You said you're taking the day off.
I'm going to take Tae Dong to a department store, buy him some clothes,
- and take him to public bath. - All right. See you later.
What is it?
I've thought about this a lot.
I put my pride in my pocket for this.
I have a favor to ask you.
No, you have to do this for me.
Promise you'll do this for me.
Tell me what it is first. What is it?
Please make some time.
- I need to put this on air. - What is this?
This is a newly imported cosmetic.
The company wanted to sell it in the department store,
But I said we should do it through home shopping and the internet.
I can assure you about the quality of the product.
- You can do it, right? - How's it going?
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
Send this out to the appraiser and report the result.
You should try it, too.
Yes, sir.
Wow, it looks good.
It does, doesn't it?
Come on, Mom.
It's almost done. Wait a little more.
It's hot rice cake!
Hot rice cake!
Happy Birthday to you...
Happy Birthday dear Tae Dong,
Happy Birthday to you.
Blow out the candles.
Once more. Harder.
All right, let's eat.
Be careful. It's hot.
You are the best.
- Is it that good? - Yes.
Your hot rice cake is the best.
The one Grandma bought yesterday wasn't good at all.
So Mang, I have to go out again.
Put the dishes in the sink after you're done.
Turn off the TV and sleep in your room.
Don't let it be on the whole night.
We were so scared.
There's no one home, so...
Were you scared?
All right. Smile.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Here. This is for you.
You should say thank you.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, Tae Dong.
Mom,
why isn't Dad coming home?
Oh... he's busy.
He has a lot of work at the bank.
Are you going to be late again?
I'll be late for a while.
You need to help me.
You should also take care of Hee Mang, okay?
Okay.
Come here. Look at me.
Where should we go after dinner?
- What do you want to do? - Noraebang.
- Noraebang? - He's been wanting to go for a long time.
We should go if he wants to go.
- Okay. - Okay!
I'm sorry. I'm a little late.
My husband said he was going to be late today so I had to take care of the kids.
Does he take care of the kids usually?
Of course. He helps me with everything.
He massages you as well?
Oh, yes.
He massages me all over my body,
when I get home in the morning.
You must be happy.
That's the joy of living.
I'm just doing this because I want to do something.
My husband tells me not to do it.
He wants me to stop it.
I guess you have a happy married life.
Yes, you should live like that.
You look like you would be loved.
Yes. He loves me a lot.
Why?
- Yes. So Mang? - Dad, when are you coming home?
I'm scared because Mom isn't home.
Come back early, okay?
Where's Mom?
Is she out again?
Then, go to Grandma's house.
I'm busy right now.
What are you doing?
I need to go home.
- Now? - I don't think Soon Yi is home.
I'll be right back.
It's Tae Dong's birthday today.
You're going to leave like this?
Go if you have to.
But... don't ever come back.
- Did you eat? - Of course.
Look at the time.
I see. What is it today?
It's a machine to make fermented soybean soup and cosmetics.
You need to report back to me.
I can't make fermented soybean soup.
It's easy. You just need to follow the instructions.
[Imported by Art Commencer]
Sir.
- We're here. - What?
Sir. Sir, we're here.
Oh, we're here?
Here is your key.
Sir, you didn't give me the money.
What money?
Money for driving you here.
How much is it?
It is $40.
What?
$40?
You said it's $30.
You said you would give $40 since you are coming to the suburbs...
Just get $30.
People would come here at $20.
What the...
As a man,
I have lots of things to do.
Oh, no!
Help me! Help!
Help me!
Help me! Help me!
Are you okay?
Are you all okay? Didn't you get hurt?
You shouldn't just run like that.
Let's go to the hospital.
Get in.
I don't think I broke anything.
Just get in if you're going to say anything later.
Let's check it in the hospital.
Well...
I won't say anything later.
Can't you just give me the money,
instead of going to the hospital? Please?
- I'm sorry. - What?
Where are you going?
I should go home.
Now?
For the kids.
If you're that worried you should have gone at night.
How did you wait until morning?
It's not that. They're home alone.
Are you curious because Soon Yi went out at night?
Are you worried she is having an affair?
I didn't say that. The kids are home by themselves.
What an excuse.
Are you double dealing?
Why are you living with me if you are dying to go home?
Separate with her, if you've decided to do that.
Otherwise, let me go.
What is this? What's wrong with you?
How long are you going to live double dealing?
I'm not double dealing.
Then what is it?
What is it that you're doing?
Why do you let your wife take control of you?
Is it because she's older than you?
Or... are you scared she'll beat you up again?
How did you think of having an affair when you're so scared of your wife?
Really...
Did I say anything wrong?
I know that you've been in and out like a puppy,
because you want to go home.
I'm sick of this.
I'm sick of this situation.
Why don't you just go?
Go! Go!
What's wrong? Let go.
Ah! You're driving me insane.
Hey, Maeng Soon Yi.
What's wrong with you?
Why can't you divorce me?
Why aren't you listening to me?!
Why are you ruining my life?
Why are you trying to stick it to me?
I hate you.
I hate you with a passion.
Don't you even have self-respect?
Why are you trying to hold me back?
Do you like me that much?
I don't even want to see you.
You're sickening, you know that?
You are like a bur.
I told you.
You can live as you want.
You can live... as you want.
Man...
Soon Yi,
let's not do this.
Please. Please,
divorce me, uh?
We can't be together.
How could we live together again?
Let's end it here.
If you keep acting like this,
it only makes me feel worse for you.
You don't want this, do you? I don't, either.
I will do everything as you wish.
Do you want more money?
I'll get a loan if I have to.
So...
let's end it here, okay?
Please.
I beg you.
Huh?
Hey...
do you think that will make me change my mind?
Do as I tell you before it's too late.
Otherwise, you will end up with nothing.
Let's see who the winner is, uh?
This is not going to work.
The house is messed up.
I need to take special measures.
Special measures?
I'm going to beat her up!
Oh... Who are you going to beat up?
You know... that bitch.
Those seducing other women's men don't even deserve to be treated like mankind.
It's not that I tried to seduce him.
It's all fate.
I just let it pass by because I used to be so naive and understanding back then,
but not anymore.
I should have beaten you up back then.
Hyungnim...
You should be careful.
Won Man.
- Won Man. - Gosh...
I wet my pants.
I don't have enough underwear for this. Gosh...
- There. - Where is it?
Over there.
- Third floor? - Second floor.
Mother, you shouldn't say that I told you about this place,
all right?
I should see what she looks like.
- Take the lead. - Me?
Is there anybody else here?
Hyungnim, I can't do this.
I have a weak heart and I wet my pants when you just yell..
That's not because you have a weak heart but because you have incontinence.
There is no use for you. No use...
Follow me.
Hyungnim... don't be too harsh,
all right?
Honey?
Did you end... Who...
You...
What's wrong?
- What are you doing? - What's wrong? Do you not know?
Ah... what are you doing?
What am I doing? Do you not know that?
- How dare you! - What is it?
I'm going to beat you up!
Sis.
- Gosh... - Let's all die
here today.
Sis. Oh... Sis.
Don't be too harsh.
- You could hurt her like this. - Aren't you going to move?
Hyungnim... Hyungnim... Please don't be too harsh.
If she dies like this, you will be sent to jail.
Let's go to jail.
How dare you seduce a married man?
Look at her. She hasn't said she is sorry.
What a vicious woman...
- Is he your son? - Tae Dong,
get inside.
I'm fine. Come on.
You're shameful in front of your son, uh?
It hurts you that you became like this in front of him, right?
I won't say anything more.
You shouldn't meet men who have family.
You should keep it to yourself.
Yes.
She is right.
But Hyungnim, it's hard to keep it to...
Gosh, I would wet my pants again.
Promise me.
Are you going to see him again?
Answer her.
You'll be injured if you get hit again.
Answer me! You're not going to see him, right?
She won't see him again.
You promised me.
Keep that promise.
If you see him once more, I won't leave you alone.
I'll really send you to hell.
Let's go.
Gosh... look at you.
Gosh...
Go take a deep bath.
It's best to take a bath with hot water when you are beaten up.
Oh... you will be ill for a while.
Didn't you... wet your pants?
- What are you doing? - Yes. I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Mom...
Tae Dong, Tae Dong.
Tae Dong.
You are a bur. You are a leech!
Soon Yi, where are you?
Get up.
It's all over now.
She did it.
I went to her and made a scene.
She won't be able to come near Sung Moon ever again.
I beat her up,
and she promised me that she would never see him again.
- Really? - You know her temper.
She turned the place upside down.
That woman will be so ashamed, she won't even be able to come out her door.
You should get up now.
Sung Moon will get mad if he finds out.
So what? It's time for him to get back.
Oh... I'm so tired now.
I will prepare breakfast.
What's wrong with your leg?
Is it broken?
I sprained it a little.
Mother, should I make kimchi stew with some pork in it?
Stop talking and hurry up.
- I want dried croaker. - Okay.
Yeah, right. What have you done?
Didn't you wet your pants today?
Geez... I don't wet them all the time.
I heard you can wet your pants by laughing too hard.
Oh, Honey...
Why are you crying? What's up?
What?
Where are you going?
Hey, wait.
Mi Ja. Mi Ja!
Gosh, I missed it.
I could have come along if only Uk Man wasn't home.
- Is it over now, then? - Of course.
She wouldn't see him again unless she is crazy.
I don't like Soon Yi.
But I hate the one who seduced someone else's husband to have an affair even more.
Isn't there a way to lock up all those women
on a deserted island and make them work?
Oh... why are you looking at me?
What do you mean? I guess you feel guilty.
I never seduced him.
He begged me that he can't live without me, so...
- Mother. - Aigoo...
Look at her face.
See? There is no mother-in-law so nice like my mom.
So you should be nice to her.
- You should be nice to me, too. - Okay.
You are brightening the house with your smile.
Even if men have affairs, they come back to their kids in the end.
Since you are older than him, you should just understand him.
Don't grumble at him and try to be sweet.
That's right. I know that he was wrong.
But I'm amazed at how he can live with a woman like you.
I'm amazed at Won Man as well.
What's wrong with you?
What? What have I done?
Mother, do you want to eat anything?
- Well... - I'm going to go grocery shopping.
- Hold on a second. - You are so arrogant.
Arrogant? So what?
- Why do you care? - What's on TV these days?
Be quiet!
Oh... what should I have?
Chicken soup with ginseng, eel... I already had sulfur duck...
Hyungnim, when did you have sulfur duck?
What? Oh...
I stopped by my friend's place last time and had a little bit.
Geez...
you should have taken me with you.
- You won't be blessed like that. - It wasn't good. Not good at all.
Mother, what should I cook for you?
Well... oh, that's right.
I saw loach soup on TV yesterday morning.
- Loach soup? - Loach soup is the best for fall.
That's great. Sung Moon loves loach soup as well.
Mom, Won Man likes it, too.
All right. Let's all gain strength with loach soup.
- You know how to make that, right? - Yes. I'll be back.
Okay.
- They are fresh. - I know.
Give me one more.
It's only $10. This is enough.
- No... no... - More... Oh...
- Oh, my gosh... - More.
- Oh, my... - Geez...
- just bring them. - Geez.
Here. Open the bag.
- Okay, here. - I'll give you enough.
Oh! Oh!
Vacation?
You've used all the annual leave already.
My uncle in the village passed away.
He passed away last month.
That was my second uncle.
This time it's my third uncle.
How many brothers...
does your father have?
A lot.
I'm sure he does, since you need one like this every month.
Have you met Mr. Park, yet?
We decided to talk again next week.
What's the use of just talking every time?
You invite him properly.
He's a big customer, so do it well.
All right.
Oh...
Mother. Mother...
- look at how fresh they are. - Oh... Hey! Hey!
Could you pick that up?
All right. All right.
Could you pass me that, Mother?
- Here. - Oh!
Yeah.
Aren't you coming home?
I'm sorry I made you leave like that this morning.
I made some loach soup for you.
Mother said it's delicious and she had two bowls.
- Don't be late. - I can't come. Don't wait for me.
And don't call me at the bank or come to visit me.
For a while.
Why? What's going on?
I got a vacation.
Where are you going? What's up?
I can't do this.
I... am going to her.
Honey!
She needs me.
I must go.
Don't go.
Let's talk. Come home first.
Let's talk at home.
Honey, don't go!
Sung Moon!
Don't go, Honey. Honey!
Sung Moon!
You'll be connected to...
You're not even a woman to me anymore. I'm sick of this.
I'm sick of you. I don't want to see you,
and I don't want to hear your voice.
Please don't stay next to me like a leech, and go away.
Let's divorce!
Is someone here?
Why don't you go and see?
All right.
Who is it?
Mi Ja.
How did you get here?
What do you mean how? I came to get you.
How did you know I was here?
Where else do you have to go?
You only have one aunt.
Fool...
Did you think I won't be able to find you if you run away?
