My heart pounds whenever I see you.
You know this pounding heart is how I feel about you.
I’ll tell you how I feel too.
I feel like protecting you when I see you.
You feel like a younger brother that I should protect and care for.
A younger brother that needs to be protected and cared for…
So I seem like a patient to you, right?
That’s not what I mean.
Let’s go. I’ll show you what I feel about you.
This is your house. Why did you bring me here at night?
You said you’ll show how you feel.
Yes, I’ll show you my heart. Come follow me.
Minji. What’s going on this late at night?
I’m sorry to come so late at night.
Mom, I thought Sunwoo’s heart would stop beating.
How? Have you been to a hospital?
Yes. I’m okay. Don’t worry.
You must’ve been exhausted.
We should feed him well. And have him sleep over.
Sleep over?
He lives alone so he doesn’t eat too well. We should feed him.
Why is it so noisy?
Sunwoo came, Father.
Hi, everyone.
Oh, the handsome man came.
I’m really sorry. You all woke up because of me.
Let’s go inside. Let’s drink some tea.
Go in.
My brother. He works in Saudi Arabia.
Hi. I’m Sunwoo Kim.
Hi, welcome.
I thought his heart would stop.
You should be careful.
I was okay during a regular checkup but I guess I overworked.
He had to get resuscitation and artificial respiration.
That bad? It was critical then.
You saved him.
I’ll let him sleep in my room.
How can you boldly say you let a man sleep in your room?
No. Let him sleep in Grandpa’s room.
Not a good idea. Father snores a lot. He couldn’t fall asleep.
When have I?
Minji should sleep with Mom and Sunwoo sleep in Minji’s room.
Okay.
I’m sorry to have burdened you.
You made me a thick-faced dork. I woke up your family late at night.
Such nuisance I’ve caused.
I told you I’ll show you my heart. That was my heart.
Bringing men to your house to sleep over. That was your heart?
How many have you brought over?
What are you saying?
This is about a big sister’s heart in giving her bed to a sick brother, okay?
I see.
Minji. If you’re done, come out. Why does it take so long?
Okay.
You’re done already.
Jisuk is good to you, right?
Okay so far. I see him sometimes at work.
He knows well what you and I like.
He should start a new life with a new woman.
Mom.
No, nothing. He has a woman from the past, right?
Why? Why do you say that?
I saw the woman with kid. It looked pretty serious.
Really? Go and sleep.
Okay.
Taste the soup.
Tastes good.
Really?
What are men doing in the kitchen from morning?
I told you not to do kitchen work. Men and women have separate duties.
You’re making our guest cook? Where are all the women?
Are they still asleep? Men are wearing aprons when women are at home?
I’m sorry, Father.
You and Kihoon cooked all these?
Yeah…
I wanted to make up for waking all of you last night.
It’s okay since it’s a weekend.
Sit.
I made what I usually eat at home. I’m not sure it suits your taste.
Who is this handsome man?
Minji’s guest.
Mom. Yoonhee shouldn’t lift heavy things.
Minji, you do it.
Gee, you’re a man. Don’t be interfering.
This isn’t heavy. It’s good to move her body.
Gee. Since Kihoon is here, Yoonhee is ecstatic.
Sunwoo, eat a lot.
Thank you. I’ll enjoy.
Eat a lot, my wife.
Eat a lot, Sunwoo.
Men these days treat women very well.
It looks nice too. I envy.
Mom, let me meet Grandma.
Why Grandma?
I told her I hate her. I want to tell her I don’t anymore.
My. Grandma will want to live with you if she sees you.
I can live with her then.
What about Aunt Grandma?
I will ask Dad.
James, let’s ask him later.
What are you thinking, Hayoung? For the kid’s sake…
I should do what Jisuk wants. What can I say?
There’re situations that can’t be helped.
He has to accept it if it’s a fate.
I didn’t like my son-in-law but he feels different now that he’s a dad.
He’s become a little mature.
He makes good kimchi stew.
He makes it really good. He’s good to Yoonhee too.
Yoonhee must’ve been attracted to him. That’s why she pushed forward.
I never knew she’d marry like that.
I know! They registered marriage and took wedding photos on their own.
Does it make sense? She’s my only daughter.
I can’t even go back to Hawaii when she’s alone. My goodness.
James, what are you going to do to Dad?
It’s nice that you have a big family. I envy you.
It can be nice but uncomfortable too.
What?
Since we’re with elders, we’re talking formally.
We were? Anyways, you know how I feel. You feel like a family.
A family-like friend can turn into a husband so it’s not bad.
Okay, I’ll retreat for now. Let’s have tea now, okay?
Okay?
I know why you like cappuccino.
You like it because of the foam. Right?
Yes. Right. How did you know?
I heard you talking back in France.
Oh. How attentive.
I thought you’d work as a jewelry designer. You were very skilled.
I’ll get experiences in a big company and work with Mom later.
Your mother?
Yes. She majored in craft design.
Her talent is too good to be wasting as a housewife.
I look forward to it. She can do it now though.
Can’t know see the reality? You saw our family.
We got a swarming family as Yoonhee’s mom said.
Her household duties are way over her head.
I see. She’s amazing.
Yes, it’s me.
If it resumes listing, I have rights to it.
Thank you.
Wow!
What is it, Dalsoo?
The company of the stocks I lost 10 years ago resumed listing.
What? That’s great, Dalsoo.
How can this happen to me?
How much will it worth?
I don’t know exactly but maybe $20,000?
Great, Dalsoo. You can breathe now.
What will you do?
I don’t know. This is seriously free money.
Take spoons.
Gyungshik. Delicious coffee…
Honey…
I was going to make it. I’ll make it.
I’ll make it.
No, no. Stay still right here. I’ll make delicious one.
Wait right here. Stay still.
Thank you.
Dad. Mine too.
Is the work too hard?
I’m working with joy.
If anything gets hard, let me know anytime.
If you need a vacation, I’ll give you one as well.
Okay. Thank you for your care.
Coffee. Gyungshik, Hejin, Honey.
Okay.
You must’ve had lunch. I came to eat with you.
I thought you’re busy. We ate already.
I thought you would eat with your friend.
Changman went home early. Okay.
Sweetie. What are you doing?
Mother.
Oh.
What is my son doing under the desk?
I know your wife is pregnant but what is this?
Your wife is lying down, eating snacks.
I shouldn’t say anything.
I’m sorry, Mom.
Give it. I’ll do it.
Mother, I’ll do it.
Forget it.
When does your vacation end?
Next week.
Let’s go to the market with me later. My grocery will be heavy.
Okay.
Mother, I’ll go too.
If you’re not tired, go ahead. Let’s go now. Get ready.
Yes, Mother. I can go now. Okay, I’ll go now.
Mom, let’s go grocery shopping later.
What is it, Kihoon?
Mother wants to go shopping. She wants to buy me something.
Did you forget you were supposed to go to the market?
Grocery shopping isn’t important.
Let’s go after the grocery shopping.
I’ll call my mom.
I’m supposed to meet her at the mall. She’s gone outside. Let’s go now.
It’s true that sons are no good.
He thinks nothing of the promise he made to me.
Mother, the market. I’ll go with you.
Gosh, no need to. Have fun with your mom.
What’s wrong with you, Kihoon?
Mom isn’t picking up the phone. Nuts.
What are you doing? Let’s go. Mother’s waiting.
Mom, why the long face?
We’ll be back. We’ll have dinner outside.
Mom.
I’m sorry. We can’t get in touch with my mom.
Mother, I’ll be back.
Yeah. Don’t worry and go.
Okay.
Can you go to the market?
Okay, Mom.
Lighten up.
Gee. It’s true that sons will go along with the wife’s family.
Dalsoo, eat this.
It’s okay.
Eat, Dalsoo. I bought what you like, cream bread and chocolate milk. Eat.
I ran to buy these.
Thanks.
Dalsoo, drink this chocolate milk.
Jeongsook brought a small amount of lunch. So I couldn’t invite you.
I understand. She’s trying to score with Gyungshik?
No, not really but I’ll tell her to bring enough. Okay, Dalsoo?
No, don’t worry about me and go back to work.
You’re upset?
No, little brother.
Looks like you are.
I’ll get upset now.
I have another one.
Where are you going? Must be meeting James.
Let’s talk a little.
I need to go now.
Hayoung had been taking psychiatric medicines.
So?
It’s an important matter.
This is all you can come up with?
How could she be normal after you abandoned her?
It’s hard to believe that she even survived.
We should complement her for raising James well in that condition.
How can a woman of a mental problem raise a kid?
She’s got no problem. She raised my son better than anyone.
Please leave James alone. You can’t do anything to him.
If you really care for James, just don’t do anything.
I should bring him. I’ll bring him before I die.
Grandma!
Mom!
Yeah, come.
Why don’t you answer?
Why yell at me when you’re late? You said you’d come right away.
I’m sorry.
We were going to go to the market but we came here instead.
I wanted to meet you later but you didn’t answer my calls.
Then you should’ve told me. He said he could come out.
I wanted to be with you.
Huh? Kihoon says something I like in a long while.
Wanna eat something? What do you need?
No need to ask. We’ll get everything we need.
Nothing for you. I’ll only buy for Kihoon.
Let’s shop and eat delicious food.
Yes, Mother.
Okay.
We’ll eat dinner at home.
Eat dinner with me instead.
Sure, buy me delicious food.
Okay. Sure, sure. Let’s go.
Wait. This light color jacket looks good on Kihoon.
This looks good too.
This is better.
This looks better.
Kihoon, this is better, right?
I like this better, Mother.
See. I’m a fashionista. Give me this.
Wow. Look at these. They are so small.
So cute. I’ll buy you all.
Later.
You won’t be here though. Shall I buy them now?
I’ll come back during summer vacation. Let’s buy then.
Right. We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl yet. Let’s wait.
Kihoon, don’t go.
What are you saying? Telling him not to go.
My stomach will get big soon and it’d be hard without my husband.
You can come live with me.
Right. You can stay with Mother.
She’s not the same as my husband.
You’re so! She loves you so much.
Mother, aren’t you tired?
No. I need to go to restroom.
That way, Mother. This way.
Okay, let’s go.
Kihoon, look after your wife too.
Where’s everybody? They said they’ll be back soon.
I’m bored.
Oakboon, what are you doing? Shall we meet?
I’m in a bad condition. I want to rest today, Dongpal.
Everything’s fine, right? See you next time.
Okay. See you next time.
Gee. Weather’s nice and everyone’s out without me. So boring.
Choi must be happy. To live with a 24 years younger woman.
My, my.
Soojeong, eat a lot.
Yes, Mr. Chief.
Thank you for your time.
You’re welcome. My pleasure to spend the time.
I thought I’d do fine by myself but so hard.
I’m sure. Prejudice against divorcees can be scary.
Soojeong, you don’t want to go to the kindergarten?
No. Kids make fun of me when I talk about Dad.
I’m sorry, Soojeong.
It’s okay, Mom.
My. There’re many people. They all think differently.
Look here. What we eat are all different too.
Yes.
Other kids’ dads are different from your dad.
Kids who make fun of your dad are bad kids.
Okay, Mr. Chief.
Okay. Don’t get discouraged by those kids, okay?
When they make fun of you and you need Dad, you can call me.
Can I?
Sure.
Soojeong…
Oh, I’m sorry.
No, Chief.
Mom, I like Mr. Chief.
Yes, Soojeong. I like Soojeong very much too.
Please eat the cake.
Eat. Try it. You eat well.
James, do you have a place you want to go with Dad?
Yes, places which have interesting things.
My puppy is very curious about many things.
- What are you so curious about?|-Everything.
You like going with Dad.
Yes, right. I like Dad.
Aunt. Jisuk wants us to move out.
Okay, we just need to decide on the houses we’ve seen.
Discuss with Jisuk and decide.
Okay.
Eat. Here.
Oh my gosh.
Oh geez.
Gosh, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
It’s okay.
I should’ve been careful but I mistakenly bumped into you.
I should pay for dry cleaning cost.
No, it’s okay. You’re sorry, right?
Yes.
I have to wait for the clothes to dry so buy me some tea.
Okay.
Did you come alone?
Yes. I come out alone for fresh air.
I come out alone sometimes too.
I’m really sorry. I should’ve been careful.
It’s nice to get a new friend, using the excuse of drying the clothes.
I was bored so I came out. It was a good thing.
You must be living with your children.
Yes, I live with them all.
Kids these days live separately from parents.
Your daughter-in-law must be a filial one.
Yes, she’s good to me. She’s about your age.
Your clothes are almost dried. I’ll get going then.
Yes, yes.
Look. When will you come again?
Well…
Please give me your phone. I don’t want to come here alone.
Oh my legs. Oh my legs.
Shopping is labor too. Hard labor.
So hard. So thirsty.
Let’s sit. I’m sorry, Kihoon.
Please eat, Mother.
Thank you.
I’m thirsty too, Kihoon.
I’m sorry.
It feels different to have a man in the house.
Please eat, wife.
Kihoon. Good work today.
What shall we eat for dinner?
I want curry.
I want kimchi stew.
Mom, give me and my baby the chance to choose today.
Okay. I’ll yield to Heemang today. Let’s eat curry today.
Dinner menu is curry.
Gosh, Kihoon is gonna give us the full course. Thank you.
We’ll feel empty when Kihoon leaves. Mom, what do we do?
I know.
Can he not go to Saudi Arabia?
He got the job with a great difficulty so how can he not?
He’s a head of household. He should earn.
Soy bean sprouts. $5 worth of small wild onions too.
Give us a lot.
No, I gave a lot.
Give us more, please.
I’m giving more for your pretty daughter.
Thank you.
I’m reminded of Jisuk.
He charmed the merchant to get more when we shopped grocery last time.
Really?
Thank you.
Wild aster looks good too. $3 worth please.
James, this is a traditional market.
Is there a lot of interesting stuff?
You would think so if you saw.
Wow. I haven’t been here in a long while.
James, let’s go. Let’s go!
Let’s go!
Let’s go.
It’s nice to have tea with you.
Why did you come out alone?
Everyone’s busy. I’m lonely.
You need a friend to talk.
Very desperately.
I was watching flowers and bumped into you. I’m really sorry.
You did good.
Huh?
You happened to bump into me and we met.
Geez. I don’t feel the generation gap with you.
I try to live young.
You look like my late father.
Don’t think me as a father.
Mmm. You’re like a brother. Very youthful thinking brother.
Youthful brother. Nice.
Please hear me out just today. Like an older brother.
Okay.
I’ve lived my life only for my son but it’s not working as I want it to be.
He first started living with his girlfriend and now siding with her.
His girlfriend and I have confrontations on every occasion.
Sons are troublesome.
They ask me to leave when they want to be alone.
So I wander around alone. I don’t feel comfortable at home.
Oh, I’m shameless. I’ve talked too much.
No.
Home is peaceful only when the first son does well.
What does your first son do?
My first son is a capable one. He’s very busy, working two jobs.
Gosh. You must be happy. That’s great.
Then you must be getting lots of allowance.
Sure. He earns well for himself.
I have a doctor, one that’s educated abroad, and one that works abroad.
Gosh, that’s amazing. You must be happy.
You must get lots of allowance, right?
I’m well off financially. No problem taking care of a woman.
Happiness is when you raise your children very well.
It must be nice. I envy you.
Envying is losing. What’s your name and age?
Just be my friend today.
But still…
I’ll contact you again later.
Okay.
Wow.
You know what this is?
Seafood green onion pancake.
Korean pizza.
Looks yummy.
What’s this, Dad?
This? Pig foot.
Wanna try it?
No, I’ll eat spicy rice cake.
You should eat it while you’re at the market. I want to eat it too.
Really? Shall we go eat spicy rice cake?
Yes, let’s go!
Let’s go!
Really yummy, huh?
Spicy.
It’s fun to eat this kind of food at the market.
My daughters can’t eat spicy food like their dad.
Jisuk knows our palate. I was completely surprised.
It’s because he’s very detailed. He should get married soon.
He’s got a woman so he will soon.
Is it for certain?
Well… I’m not certain…
Spicy rice cake and blood sausage please.
Yummy!
Mother.
Jisuk…
Jisuk.
