What is it? Something urgent?
Someone’s looking for Kihoon’s grandpa.
Who?
Who’s looking for him?
Who’s looking for me?
It’s Miss Kim.
Miss Kim?
Where is she?
Do you know who she is?
Father, Of course I do.
How do you know her?
Father’s so eager to know.
Tell him, Malsook.
She looked pale but she was a pretty old lady.
She said she’s looked for you all over this neighborhood.
She must be around 60. Is she?
Yes, she said she’s Miss Kim from Prince Cafe.
She said she had to ask people since the neighborhood changed so much.
Why didn’t you come with her?
She only asked how you’re doing.
She’s asked me not to tell you that she’s looking for you.
Then why are you telling me this?
She wanted me to give you this if she can’t come.
You should’ve held onto her and called me.
I had to meet her.
I’m sorry.
I’ll be going then.
Thank you, Malsook.
Okay.
Let’s go in, honey.
We have to wait until he calls us.
I’m so curious. Go in.
Who the heck is Miss Kim? So embarrassing before kids.
I guess he was popular with women.
Kihoon.
Not that. It’s a nice way to put it.
What’s the use of saying?
I pity my mom in heaven.
Yes, he’s totally a player.
I’m afraid men of this house might take after him.
Hey, be quiet.
You always talk so negatively.
It’s true. Like father, like son.
Stop, Jeongsook.
Let’s go in with me, Dalgoo.
But I might get pissed off again while hearing Father’s story.
Go in, Dalgoo.
Calm down, calm down. Let’s go.
Miss Kim.
Are you all right, Father?
It’s that cafe you used to take me when I was nine, right?
The one with great boiled eggs.
You know about that place?
What’s this money?
With your help, I succeeded in my business.
I supported all my sibling’s education…
What’s this?
Were you her sponsor then? Was she your second wife?
See? I guess it’s true. He’s not saying anything.
So you gave all your money to a waitress, didn’t you?
Don’t badmouth her.
She was a college student that worked at the cafe to support her siblings.
There goes your romance again. Darn…
Dalgoo.
I wanted to help her since she was a poor young head of the house.
So how did you help her, Father?
I gave her a gold ring.
Out of two wedding rings, your mom left one for our great grandson.
So I gave mine to Miss Kim.
You mean the ring you found behind the .crocks?
Yes, that ring. My wedding ring.
Then she sold that ring and started a business from market stall?
Then she sent this money to pay back for that gold ring?
Yes, she came to pay me back before she dies from stomach cancer.
She was a nice young lady but we lost contact when she suddenly moved.
What would’ve happened if you two didn’t lose contact?
Not sure.
I would’ve probably left everything behind.
Father.
You mean you might’ve left Mom and us for her?
I’m just saying.
But she wouldn’t have accepted me.
She wasn’t the type to love a married man.
She left all her wealth to the society.
It says so in the letter.
Give that money to Yoonhee, Miran.
Pardon?
Tell her to keep it for Heemang’s education.
Father, it’s a lot of money.
Be quiet. Just give it to her.
You should spend it.
Put your feet in here.
It’s okay. I can do it, Grandmother.
Come on, put it up.
Yes.
Here.
Thank you, Grandmother.
They say the good comes with the bad.
Be more cautious when things are going smooth.
Yes, I’ll be more careful.
Was Grandfather well?
Yes, he was perfectly fine today.
He didn’t show dementia symptoms at all.
Yes, I could tell from your face.
Really?
I guess both of you are happy together.
Tell him to sleep here if he doesn’t want to leave.
I thought there’s no cure.
If he stays like this, he’s normal.
All thanks to your care.
I wish it continues to be like today. Everyone’s at peace.
Are you happy, honey?
Yes. Grandfather’s money gift story was so touching.
His affection has transferred from Mom to you.
No way. I still have a long way to go.
I want to eat ice cream and cake.
I couldn’t even say in front of elders.
I’ll buy you everything.
Really? Let’s go eat then.
Huh?
Why?
The number of hits on my kimchi stew video is skyrocketing.
That’s great.
Since singles surf internet a lot, yours is so popular.
I should upload more whenever I get a chance.
I guess you being an amateur appeared more.
You make cooking easy.
- Thanks. Let’s go eat. - Okay.
I want to say something before I die.
Dad…
Stop talking about dying.
Be quiet.
I’ll tell you guys when I’m still normal.
We’re fine as long as it’s not some bombing news.
Dalgoo, Dalja.
You both raised Hejin and Soojeong with all your might.
Yes.
Sure, Father. She’s my only daughter.
How would you feel if your child didn’t care for you when you get old?
Soojeong would never do that to me.
Your mom said the same thing when she raised you.
Dalsoo and Miran have taken care of me for over 30 years.
Thank you, Miran.
Not at all, Father.
Jeongsook.
Yes?
How much did you give on your mother-in-law’s memorial days?
You didn’t give any. Even when you had money.
You think spending money on parents is a waste, don’t you?
I’m sorry, Father.
You, Dalja…
What about me?
Even though you’re a daughter…
Don’t use that excuse and contribute the same amount.
Don’t expect Miran to pay everything but three of you pay equally.
I and your mom raised you three equally.
But you favored Dalsoo.
You brat.
But Miran took care of me.
Even if I get worse, don’t leave all the work to Miran.
But take care of me just the same, Dalgoo and Dalja.
Remember that.
You’ll be blessed if you’re good to your parents.
I’m your father.
I’m home.
Welcome.
I came too.
Hi.
Why are you wearing the apron?
I’m making ox bone soup.
I should cook though.
Making soup isn’t hard. I can do it.
I need to talk to you, Hyunsook.
What’s up?
Go ahead.
Let’s talk just the two of us.
Come to the room.
What’s wrong with him?
I don’t know.
Make it quick. I was making soup.
Come on, hurry. What is it?
Never mind. Let’s talk later.
So silly.
Don’t be upset.
But that didn’t feel that good.
I’m running my store with a loan.
Did you tell Father about our complaints?
Don’t you know me?
If I wanted to, I would’ve.
True. Miran didn’t tell him.
He probably made up his mind after receiving Miss Kim’s letter.
I took being an eldest daughter-in-law as heaven’s mandate.
But this is irritating.
I didn’t know you’d act like this about Father.
How much did you contribute after you married into this family?
Miran.
When Dalja opened a business and you loaned a big money…
…I thought you’d give him some allowances.
I loaned to Dalja because she promised to pay back interest.
If I earn a lot, that is.
You don’t want to contribute either way.
Do what you want then. You never helped anyway.
I have headaches so I’d hate wasting time on calculating who’d pay how much.
Jeongsook…
I’ll contribute, Miran.
Don’t sound like this is a charity.
It’s a children’s duty to support parents when they get sick.
Miran, she said she’d contribute.
No, obey what Father said.
Take care of him in turn and you’d contribute equal amount of money.
If you don’t, I’ll tell everything to Father.
Gosh.
You’re asking for a whipping.
What do I do? I can’t take care of him.
Father’s already displeased with you.
He won’t give a penny out of this house.
That’s not fair. That’s not legal.
Then take care of him.
If you don’t, you only seem greedy.
I can’t believe this.
If you’re the eldest, shouldn’t you take the cross?
Jeongsook, I’m your sister-in-law.
You can’t badmouth Miran who takes good care of my dad.
The most important person in this household is her.
If you don’t want to care for him, hire a caregiver.
And you pay for her.
She’s acting totally different now. My money…
Dad!
Yes.
Hi.
I bought some drinks.
Thank you.
Drink while it’s cold.
Look at you sweating.
I wish you see the fruits of this sweat.
You’re doing great.
Thanks, Dad.
Sure.
Hejin.
Will you abandon me if I get old and sick?
What are you talking about all of sudden?
If I get old and don’t even recognize you, will you dump me?
Why would I when you’re my dad?
You won’t, right?
My good daughter would even share a snack with your grandpa. I trust you.
If I succeed as a singer, I’ll get your dream car.
That’s an expensive car though. Thanks.
Make sure to give rides to Grandpa in that car, okay?
Okay, I will. So adorable.
Go practice, Hejin.
I’ll get going then.
Okay, I’m going back to practice.
See you all. Work hard.
I sprained ankle on the stairs while thinking about the meeting.
Thank God you didn’t roll down the stairs.
We could’ve lost the baby. Be careful from now on.
Yes, I should.
Congratulations for having our baby.
Thanks.
How about taking a trip instead of having a wedding?
Really?
I heard women’s dream is to wear a wedding dress.
Is that okay?
I’m a mother of two children.
Grandma approves me and you gave me a ring.
Our James is healthy and we now have a new baby.
So many happy events.
Yes, a lot has happened.
I’m so happy, Jisuk.
Hold me.
Yes, ma’am.
Dad, Mom. I want to sleep with you.
Okay, son.
Come here.
Here, James.
Come to Mommy.
Should we sleep together?
Watch it.
Daffodil.
Named a snow flower after its noble appearance.
A flower that blooms while melting the snow around it.
Daffodil that blooms in the harsh weather of winter.
Its intense scent you can almost taste.
The noble appearance as if a golden cup on a silver plate…
…is like that of my first love.
Thank you, Father.
Your poem inspires me to draw more beautiful flowers.
Really? That’s good.
Whenever you write a poem, I’ll express it with a drawing.
Yes.
Did you propose to Mom?
Well… Not sure if your mom or I did…
We decided to get married but things are going strangely.
Propose to her formally.
Yes, sincerely with formality.
What if she says no?
Will you give up if she says no?
Then it’s not even love.
But one hand can’t clap.
Try. How can you conclude without even trying?
Yes, you’re a tough man.
Okay, I’ll try.
Fighting.
Thanks.
He was normal today.
He came back to being my father-in-law.
You were happy, weren’t you?
About what?
He made it clear.
And lifted you up as an eldest daughter-in-law.
When was I ever respected as an eldest?
I was just a working cow.
I’m sure Jeongsook and Dalja will change too.
Well, their laziness won’t change overnight.
They’re not blessed with labor.
My personality shaped my life.
I’m just the maid.
Everyone knows how hard you try.
I’m not trying to be recognized.
I just wish Father gets even better tomorrow.
They say the full moon fades and a long winter brings spring.
Let me just remember Father with his warmth like the spring.
Don’t let my affection for him fade like the moon.
Hyunsook.
Huh?
Why does he call me with that cheesy voice again?
I have to sleep.
What do you want?
I’m not young so an extravagant proposal isn’t for me.
What’s with a long intro?
What’s this?
Will you marry me?
Why do you keep shaking me up when I want to live quietly?
You like talking about getting married every day?
Don’t stir up a trouble in your family and just give it up.
If you keep still, your children will be at peace.
It’s our lives. Who cares about what they think?
Regardless of your kids, I don’t want to get married..
Hyunsook.
I want to live in peace.
I get so frustrated whenever I think about your daughter.
I don’t want to be a burden to anyone at my age.
My children are far away but you’re right beside me.
I enjoyed a romance thanks to you.
I’ll never forget that feeling.
I’m sorry.
I just want to live like this.
I think he failed.
Uncle.
Chief.
Uncle, Uncle!
You can’t leave like this.
Then what?
She totally rejected me to my face.
You love her a lot though.
I can’t even win my own children.
It’s my fault.
Uncle.
Go in and take good care of her.
I have no business to come here anymore.
Kihoon.
Give this to Hyunsook.
Tell her it’s my last gift for my ending love.
See you.
Get up, get up.
What’s wrong?
You have to cook, Chulsoo.
Pardon?
Get up.
Yes, Father.
Come out.
Okay.
You have to cook, Chulsoo. A war broke out.
We have to leave then.
Yes, we should move to south.
What will you make?
Huh? Rice balls.
Okay, hold on.
Come on, hurry!
Hurry up! We might get shot.
We’re running through the bullets.
There’s our enemy. We must hurry.
A gun shot.
Hide!
Why is it so noisy?
Nobody’s here.
We have to leave this place, girls. There’s a war.
Really?
Where to?
Pusan.
Honey, bang!
Nuts. The whole family’s going crazy here.
Dalja, bang!
You should die.
No.
Give our rice balls back, fat lady.
No, I’m not going to.
Shoot her right now.
Yes, sir. Let’s go.
Where to?
Dalja, play along…
Nuts.
Help me.
James, aren’t you tired?
No, I have to become strong to take care of everybody.
Whose son are you?
Dad’s son!
You’re right!
Let’s go to the bathhouse after this.
Okay, I’ll wash your back.
Thank you.
Let’s go together with Grandpa next time.
Run!
Here.
Will you make this every day?
It’s good for dementia. I should take it when it’s fresh.
Take it to him, Mom.
What? Deliver this again?
Help me, Mom. Think it as an exercise.
I delivered it last time too.
Why would you bother to deliver it every day?
Just buy the ingredients and give them to Miran.
But that doesn’t take any efforts.
I need to make it with utmost care. He’ll get better only then.
Won’t Miran feel uncomfortable if I take this every day?
She won’t be able to take care of Father if she has to mind me.
But I can’t go there every day.
Should I ask Kihoon then?
Just buy Miran the ingredients!
So frustrating.
Why do you ask me to eat this bad tasting stuff?
Just pretend to eat.
It’s good, Father.
Chew it well.
Yes. It’s good.
It’s a chaos.
Good.
Delicious.
Sir.
What’s this?
Mrs. Oh sent it.
The first time I saw you on that cold winter day…
I knew you’d become my precious.
After a long winter and flowers of the spring, that feeling still hasn’t changed.
I’d be proud of you if you find a princess who’d wear this wedding dress.
Mother.
Okay, Hyunsook.
I can meet you.
Okay.
Let’s talk when we meet.
Okay.
Take it easy.
Must you win Father?
Father, I have to step out for a minute.
Where are you going? I don’t want you to go.
I’ll be right back.
I’ll buy you ice cream bar on the way home.
Okay.
Will you be okay by yourself, honey?
I can’t.
Then what?
Dalgoo will come.
Good. Go along with him instead of getting mad, okay?
Don’t go, Miran.
Hello. I’m an amateur cook, Mr. Oh.
I’ll make a hangover soup for you singles out there.
Slice pork thinly and marinate it in ginger, garlic, salt, and sugar for 10 minutes.
Next, slice one tomato and cabbage and put over the pork and heat them.
This is a great hangover food for you single drink lovers out there.
That’d be all for the amateur cook, Mr. Oh!
So green and nice.
Yes, refreshing to eyes.
I get to enjoy nice air thanks to you.
Go see Kihoon at the restaurant next time.
Okay.
I lived in desperation for my kids but they all left.
Only person left for me is Father who made me live in paranoia.
I guess you could endure since you had love and hate relationship.
If it was someone else, they would’ve left already.
I feel pity for him now that he’s sick.
Father…
Yes.
Why, Father?
Father, Father.
Is someone there?
Go away! No!
Go away.
Stop, Father.
Father. Let’s go inside, Father!
Send him away.
He’s following me.
Go away!
Father.
What’s wrong with him?
He’ll be fine since he took the medicine.
Strange. He keeps getting scared.
Daffodil.
Named a snow flower after its noble appearance.
A flower that blooms while melting the snow around it.
Daffodil that blooms in the harsh weather of winter.
Its intense scent you can almost taste.
The noble appearance as if a golden cup on a silver plate…
…is like that of my first love.
Dongpal.
Father.
Where are you going?
I’m scared. I need to go out.
About what, Father?
I have to go.
Father.
What are you doing, Father?
They came to take me.
Who!
Father, what’s wrong?
Angels came to take me.
I don’t want to go. Save me, Miran.
Father, Father!
Father!
