You should be living well since you left me.
l'm doing this temporarily so as not to be idle.
l'm sorry.
ls it that bad for you financially?
No, l told you, l'm doing it so l'm not just sitting around at home.
Hey, lady!
- Why do you look so surprised? - What are you doing here?
l delivered 5 boxes of stew to Boo Young Restaurant.
l told you to find another job.
l've been looking, but the job market is really bad right now.
360,000 people are unemployed in the country right now.
Hey, lady!
- Get on. - No.
Then you drive, and l'll sit on the back.
l don't know why l refused to give you a divorce
when l feel so much better now that it's done.
We're going to be friends now, all right?
Prove to me whether or not you're capable of raising the kids!
l'll decide then!
- You're just going to the store? - Yes.
- Go ahead. - Let's go.
- Kot-bi! Dan-bi! - Mom!
- How have you been? - Fine.
Let's go.
You should eat too, Mom.
l feel full just watching you eat.
You should drink your soda.
Aunt Yon-jung doesn't order pizza for us anymore like she used to.
Why didn't you tell me you moved, and that Dad's not working anymore?
Because you didn't want to upset me?
Mom, l want to go to the bathroom.
- Shall l go with you? - l'm not a kid. l can go alone.
Kot-bi, do you want to come live with me?
l can't give you all the things l'd like to right now.
You'll have to live in a one-bedroom studio with me.
And you can't take classes at the art school.
Will you be all right with that?
You have to go home, huh...
Let's get going then.
You can tell me everything.
lt upsets me that you've grown up so fast.
She's mature now?
Where did they go?
Go home.
Where have you been?
Let's go inside.
l know how you feel, but it's a waste of energy.
Hatred comes out of love, actually.
You can't hate a person unless you love them.
l know very well how hard it is to have hatred in your heart.
l don't want you to waste your life on hatred.
Kyung-hee.
Kyung-hee!
Go after her.
Kyung-hee.
Kyung-hee! Let's talk.
Kyung-hee!
Dad!
l'm all right. l just have to sit down for a while.
Dad...
Do you want to die?
What in the world are you doing, you crazy old man?
- Say that again! - Kyung-hee!
What a rotten day l'm having!
Dad...
Sir.
Hi.
Aren't you happy to see me after not seeing me for such a long time?
Stop sighing.
Do you know what this song is?
lt's ''My Way,'' isn't it?
Frank Sinatra sang it while reminiscing about his life
with Ava Gardner after they split up.
ls that true?
l've loved.
l've laughed and cried.
l've had my fill, my share of losing.
And now as my tears subside, l find it all amusing.
lt's so poignant. So very poignant!
Strength!
Does your stomach hurt?
lt feels better now.
Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
l'll go tomorrow.
Moving must've been hard on your body.
l'm all right. l'm actually very tough.
Kyong-soo is so popular with the ladies.
No, they like our stew.
That goes without saying.
Try it.
- Are you the president of the company? - Yes.
l do business with Chinese companies, in exporting products from Korea to China.
Nice to meet you.
Chinese people have tasted the stew and seem to enjoy it.
They like the sweet but spicy flavor.
Thank you.
We created a special sauce to please the Chinese palate.
- This is it. - l see...
l'd like to open a franchise in China.
A franchise?
We've been looking to expand into the Chinese market.
Please, have a seat.
Sit down.
You'll have to take into consideration marketing costs in the beginning.
What are your terms?
Give me more stew.
We're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Our kimchi stew is going to China!
You saw how people mentioned seeing our stew in the movie.
We already got contracts with 5 huge supermarket chains.
Home shopping called and wants to set up a date for another show.
You're going to be a millionaire in no time!
We'd better get moving to meet the deadline.
Yes, Dad. l ate.
What about you, Dad?
Dad?
She made up with her dad.
He and Ms. Yang have decided to get a divorce and stay friends.
Sir, l have good news!
Ava Gardner...
Don't even talk about Ava Gardner again.
My heart is ripped in shreds.
l hear she's completely single now.
What are you talking about?
She and her husband have finally gotten divorced, and decided to stay friends.
ls that true?
Yes. So go and see her.
Only the brave win in love.
Where are my shoes?
Should l go to the sauna first or shave first?
Should l go to the sauna first?
Bye.
Hello.
l haven't been here for a while.
l thought you weren't feeling well.
l'm flattered that you were thinking of me.
l...
- Give me noodles with raw fish. - Sure.
One raw fish.
He's...
- He's my friend just like you are to me. - Friend?
Do you want the regular noodles?
No, l want noodles with raw fish today.
- One more order of raw fish noodles. - All right, one more.
- And two orders of dumplings on the house. - Sure, dumplings on the house.
What's going on here?
Didn't you hear her say that they're both her friends?
Our boss is such a cool lady!
lsn't he too old to be reading poetry?
- Yon-jung! - Hi.
Hello.
- l met you at the wedding. - Yes...
You should go home, Mother. l'll stay here.
Yes, do that. The kids are home alone.
l'll drive her home.
Let's go.
l'm sorry.
Don't cry. lt's not good for you to cry.
Having a miscarriage is harder on your body than giving birth.
You have to take good care of yourself now, so you don't have pain later in life.
Lady's Kimchi Potato Stew.
Yes! Thank you!
150,000 dollars was just deposited in our account!
l need to stop by somewhere after l go to the department store.
Go ahead and sell more stew!
What did you want to see me about?
l want to raise the kids now.
l have enough money to lease a small apartment.
You're having a hard time financially.
And my financial situation is stable now.
- So let me take the kids. - No!
Don't get upset, and just think about it.
- The kids have their own lives too. - l know!
Think about how many times they've had to move this year.
ls that my fault?
We can't talk about whose fault it is now. Let's think about what's best for them.
They have their schools and friends.
Knowing all that, this is how things ended up?
Forget this.
- l'm not finished! - l have to go back to work.
Min-suk!
Hello?
- Where are you right now? - Why?
You have to come right now! Tumon Village is on the news!
What?
This is good news for all the investors who invested in the now-bankrupt Tumon Village.
Woojoo Construction has begun construction on the mall after taking over Tumon Village.
Woojoo Construction announced today that it will name the mall Cosmo Village.
lsn't that great?
That's all true, isn't it?
Kyong-soo! Tumon Village has been taken over!
Things are finally looking up for you!
That's great.
- How's Yon-jung doing? - She just fell asleep.
Did she finish the seaweed soup?
She wants to eat later.
Mi-young came to see me earlier.
Why?
Her business is stable now.
She said she has enough money to lease a small apartment.
She wants to take the kids.
So what did you say?
- l told her she couldn't. - You did the right thing.
lt's not as if we're out on the street, or can't put food on the table.
l can't let her take the kids.
l can't live without them!
My heart dropped when she said she wanted to take the kids.
l thought about how painful
it must've been for her to let go of Kot-bi and Dan-bi.
She must've gone through hell.
l do feel bad for her too, but you have to be strong about this.
The kids are Lees, and it's only natural that we raise them.
And didn't the doctor say it'd be difficult for Yon-jung to have babies?
Dad, don't cry.
Hello?
- Mom. - Kot-bi?
Mom...
Yes?
l love you the most in the world.
But l feel so sorry for Dad.
You're successful now. You're a president of your own company.
But if we leave Dad now, he's going to be so sad...
Kot-bi...
When Dad gets a job and he's back on his feet...
Then l'll go live with you. ls that okay with you, Mom?
You're my mom, but Dad is my dad...
Go in.
Welcome.
Hello.
Mi-young!
Whose restaurant is this?
lt's my wife's sister's. We're helping her out.
l see...
lt's half of the money l got from selling my share of the Tumon Village.
But...
You should start a business with Min-suk.
Mi-young...
He'd never accept it if he knew it was my money.
Tell him you got the money, and start a business.
But...
He's my children's father.
Please.
Mi-young.
- Mi-young. - What are you doing here?
Let's shake hands.
Come on, let's shake hands.
- l'm going to the U.S. - What?
l got an offer to make a movie in Hollywood.
That's great!
l'd jump with joy if l'd gotten the offer a year ago.
You'd turn me down instantly if l asked you to go with me?
There's something bad about getting old.
l've become less aggressive.
l would've gone through with what l wanted if l were younger.
We get wiser with age.
You're heartless!
What?
Shouldn't you at least act like you're hesitating, for my benefit?
Stay healthy and don't get sick.
Let's rescue each other from the single life if we're still unhitched in 5 years.
2 YEARS LATER
The defendant has been unemployed
for the last 3 years due to lack of education.
He's one of 360,000 unemployed young people in this country.
He never intended to use the counterfeit money he made.
lt was in his wallet when he met his friends for drinks.
He didn't want them to see his empty wallet.
He had 10 bills in his wallet to show off just in case.
He got drunk, and his friends opened his wallet,
and paid for the drinks with the counterfeit money.
That is how the defendant ended up here today.
The defendant has no prior criminal record,
and what happened was due to poor judgment.
The defendant delivers newspapers in the morning,
and buys his mother's medicine with the money he earns.
Please take that into consideration. l ask for leniency.
Defendant, you may speak.
l'm sorry. l will never do it again!
Sentencing is set for December 1st.
Mom, don't worry. l'm okay.
Take care of yourself...
Sir!
My son will get out, won't he?
Don't worry too much. His chances are good.
l'm indebted to you for life!
l'm so grateful!
l sell these mittens... l have nothing else to give you.
You shouldn't! The government pays me transportation costs.
l know, it's such a small gift for...
Ma'am, you can't take them back because l refused once just out of etiquette.
l could really use them.
Really?
l knitted them myself. They're very warm.
They're really warm! l'll wear them all the time.
Thank you.
Let's welcome Ms. Jang Mi-young, the president of Lady's Kimchi Potato Stew,
and the recipient of the Best Businesswoman Award.
Hello. l'm Jang Mi-young from Lady's Kimchi Potato Stew.
All l did was make the best, healthy kimchi potato stew
that we could feed our children without worries.
And l've been honored with such an important award for it.
Mom!
Did you put the charcoals for the barbeque in the car?
- Yes. - Good.
Ms. Yang, are you ready to leave?
Give me one more minute.
Ms. Yang, you don't have to get anything. l prepared everything.
All right.
Did you tell Dad we can't go to his house this weekend?
l forgot to tell him.
We'll go tell him.
- But we have to leave. - We'll go on our bikes.
Please, Mom!
- Okay, l'll pick you up later. - Yes.
Wait.
Take this kimchi with you.
- You sit on the back. - Okay.

- Dad! - Hi, Dan-bi. l love you.
- How have you been this week? - Good.
- We can't sleep at your house this weekend. - Why?
We're going to go on a trip with Mr. Pil-bo and Ms. Yang.
Really? You must be excited.
We can stay 30 minutes. Mom's going to pick us up later.
- Let's go inside. - lt's kimchi Mom made.
- The kids are here. - Hi, Kot-bi. Hi, Dan-bi.
Hi.
Should l put this in the refrigerator?
- What is it? - lt's kimchi.
You like my mom's kimchi.
Tell her l said thank you.
- Would you like some sweet potato? - Yes!
- Let's go inside. - Okay.

Ms. Yang.
You seem to get younger and younger every day!
You're the Asian Ava Gardner!
Oh, stop it!
You sure look good!
Mom!
- You're going on a trip? - Yes.
- Bye, Dad. - Have a good time.
Get into the car!
You look good.
l'm doing all right.
How's your business doing?
lt's finally making a profit.
That's good.
- You'd better go. - All right.
What are you staring at?
Come here.
My wife...
Did you already wash the diapers?
l want to prepare for our precious baby in advance.
l told Joy Home Shopping that l couldn't work for them.
Too bad... You really wanted that job.
l can get a job after l have the baby.
l have another loved one.
My wonderful beloved.
She's having soup for dinner with her husband.
She's having dinner with her husband and children.
Aren't you cold?
No, the sun's warm.
Kyung-hee!
Aunt Kyung-hee!
What is that old man...!
l'll get it.
- Did you get stuck in traffic? - lt was all right.
Hello.
Be careful! You're pregnant!
- How have you been? - Welcome, President Jang!
l got you a fantastic ocean view room!
Let's go inside.
You shouldn't be carrying this!
- You're pregnant! - lt's all right!
We should live in a place like this!
We don't have many days left.
Let's count...
Be careful.
Director Suk's filming his second movie in Hollywood again?
That's what l heard.
There's the desk the world-famous director used!
l'm going to name this room after him when his second movie is released.
l'm overjoyed to see that guests and ex-employees of the hotel
have all gone on to have successful careers!
- Stop chatting and bring in the bags. - All right.
Hey, lady!
Uncle Kyong-soo!
That...
That rascal!
Who called him?
No one called him. l think he's here with his friends.
He's really cute. You should make it work with him.
l don't want to raise another child.
Younger men are very popular with women these days.
Stop playing hard to get and just be with him already!
Nonsense!
Ms. Yang, don't worry about their future. Let's talk about our future.
- We're only friends. - Only friends?
Wait for me!
Let's go.
Hey lady!
You don't know that l'm really popular, do you?
You're not young, or pretty, or rich...
Actually, you did make a bit of money...
What l'm saying is that you can't find a man like me anywhere.
So go look for someone else instead of bothering me.
Please stop being stubborn and open your heart.
You're so stubborn!
Never mind.
- Look at you! - Let go!
- You have wrinkles and age spots. - l don't have age spots!
You'd better not take it off!
Stop making it so hard for me. You're making me age.
l have to leave proof.
Here! One, two, three.
- What are they saying? - Wait a minute.
Mom's not taking the ring off.
- So she's saying yes! - Really?
That's nice! She gave him such a hard time.
And you didn't?
l'm so excited. Uncle Kyong-soo said he'd buy me lots of toys if he succeeded!
Keep your voice down. They might hear you.
Kyong-soo!
Don't go looking for happiness far away.
Happiness is not far away.
