Please, wait till my grandmother returns, okay?
- So you can talk to her in-person. - Good bye.
Wait till my grandmother returns.
Allen, where are you going?
Why do you have a big backpack on you? Where are you going?
Aunt Ah Hao, uhm, thank you, I wanted to thank you for,
for taking care of me all this time. I'm...
I'm gonna go. Take care.
Allen.
Where are you going?
Hey! Hey!

Metro of Love Welcome to the Happy Days/Dried-fish Woman Episode 3
Buddha, please give us your protection.
Please provide me the information about Mr. Yamada.
Also, please keep Mr. Yamada in good health.
He is safe, in good health, and is living in prosperity.
Boss, I'm thinking,
why don't I take you to look for him.
What are you saying?
I'm at this day of age now, why would I go look for him.
With my leg like this, how can I go?
Eh, foreigner, why are you here? Come over here.
Where are you going with your big backpack?
Grandma, I'm going back to America.
What? You are going back to America?
Grandma,
I waited 40 years for Yamada-san.
No matter how bad the weather is, I will come here and pray for Yamada-san's safety.
You have to think thoroughly. We can live together
as a family.
When some people don't live together, they'll be missing one another.
Living together with someone means that you are destined with him/her.
You need to treasure such a fate.
I understand what you're trying to do for me,
even though I don't understand everything you're saying, but I'm not okay.
And I'm not ready to forgive Fang Ru. I'm really glad I ran into you guys here.
I would have felt terrible if I didn't say good-bye to you in person.
I'm gonna miss you. Bye-bye, Grandma.
We owed so much. If the bank wants it,
What should we do? We have to pay for even this.
Where do we get that much money to pay them back?
I think, let's do this.
This hotel...
Let's sell it.
No, we can't. I disapprove this decision.
This hotel is very important to you.
How about me borrowing money from loan shark?
What? You're going to borrow money from loan shark, aren't you?
You want to get your hands and feet cut off?
Grandma, I disapprove this decision too.
You can't sell this hotel.
I remember one time,
when dad and mom took me to visit you,
there was a lot of people at that time.
There was a lot of guests that there was not enough room available.
But I was happy.
Because I could sleep in the same room with Grandma.
There was also Uncle Quan. I knew you doted on me very much.
Every time I came to visit Grandma,
you would always cook my favorite food.
Thank you.
I know that after dad and mom passed away,
Grandma has never laughed and
always cried with tears.
But every morning,
you would open the door of the hotel and say aloud,
"Welcome!"
"Welcome to JinRe Hot Spring Hotel!"
You looked as if you had a lot of energy,
and was very happy.
It looks like everyday is a new beginning.
I know that this hotel means very important to Grandma.
Very important, very important.
So please don't ever sell it.
The issue with money, let's find a solution together.
We still have one month to figure it out.
Grandma, don't sell this hotel.
Don't sell it.
Fang Ru, you can do it!
Allen!
Hey! It's you! You're back!
Thank you! Thank you!
Well, you might be a liar but,
everyone else here is a friend so I figured, I can't really leave them hanging.
Don't say it like that.
I'm a lair with difficulties.
You're right, it's true.
So... how can I be your friend too?
I'm gonna have to punish you.
What!?
Don't hurt me!
Give me the thingy. Give it. Here.
- Serious? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay. Hold out your hand.
Hold out your hand!
Take it.
- Both of them. - Both!?
Both. Higher.
- Higher? - Close your eyes.
Oh-oh no, please, don't hurt me!
You get to clean the floors today.
I bet you wish you'd bought a mop now.
And don't forget, you owe me two-thousand dollars.
You owe me two-thousand dollars, how do you- how do you forget that? How does that happen? God, it's crazy. It's a lot of money. Crazy!
No problem, I know.
Fortunately, he didn't hit me. How scary!
I came back to a different Fang Ru.
Something can change inside of her.
With me in JinRi Hot Spring Hotel,
it definitely won't close down.
I learned a Taiwanese saying
We did everything we could to restore that hotel
and make it the warmest place in Beitou.
But it wasn't all hard work.
We also got to grow closer together.
Thank you. Here's your key.
♫ How long till we reach the end of love? ♫
♫ Instead of a promise of eternal love, I'd rather have your smiling face ♫
♫ Let's be to gether every single day ♫
♫ When it gets cold, remember that there are still hotsprings!
♫ Hello, Happy Days ♫
20% off for stay. Discount for hot spring.
Free breakfast!
Fang Ru, these signs are awesome!
Yeah, you didn't know I graduated with a major in design.
I thought you were a drop-out like me too.
Business started to turn up.
We were doing this for ourselves, but we were also doing it for Grandma Shu Min.
Grandma Shu Min told me that she goes to the temple to pray
no matter rain or shine.
I wonder if I can have the some kind of devotion to any of my activities.
Sometimes I think I'm just a kid who's running away from his own problems
and putting the blame on Christina,
when really the problem's with me.
I learned something on my trip to Beitou.
Maybe in order to look forward to your future
you have to be grateful of your past.
♫ Love, don't leave… ♫

Hey! Hey!
- Allen! Allen! - What?
Come here! Come here!
You okay?
- Hurry! Hurry! - What's going on?
Hurry up! Come quickly!
- Look! - Whoa!
Whoa, that's good news. You scared me, I though you'd hurt yourself!
Who did this? Who did this?
Oh shoot, I did. I wrote that.
- You wrote this? - Yeah.
You're boasting. Did you write this?
Yes. It's my boast, my boast.
I put it on Yamada's fan page. What's it doing here?
Who knows? But you're so smart!
So many people! So many people!
Well, yeah, I guess everyone gets their moment.
Our hotel has hope. Our hotel has hope.
Our hotel has hope.
Ha-ha.
Uh, you... you gonna get that?
Hello, this is JinRe Hot Spring Hotel.
Okay. I don't know what they're saying.
Let me talk to them.
Hello, this is Jin Re Hot Spring Hotel.
Reservations? Yes, yes, we have rooms available.
No problem, let me make your reservations.
After word of the violin got out, the hotel soared in business.
And there came the deafening surge of coral laughter!
I especially like this one.
Allen, don't just laugh! Carry the luggage properly!
But amidst all this laughter,
still remained a small, quiet spot in the back of the kitchen.
-This plate is for you. -Okay.
-Okay, serve the dishes.
We have guests, we have guests.
Christmas is coming up!
Excuse me, let me serve you your food.
Here, here, here, here.
Eat up, eat up.
Hey, hello!
Welcome to Jin Re Hot Spring Hotel.
Welcome, hello.
Welcome.
Um...Is Toshiko-san here?
Kimochi ii (Do you feel good)?
Um...Do you know Toshiko-san?
Pa-pa-passport.
Pa-pa, yes, this book, yes, yes.
Please.
This is too sudden. Ah Ru! Ah Ru!
Ah Ru, come here quickly.
I'm coming, what is it?
I'm way to surprised. Come here quickly.
- I'm very busy over there.- A Japanese. A Japanese.
This Japanese doesn't understand my Japanese. I said "kimochi ii" and he kept looking at me.(* she said it in Japanese without knowing what it means.
What word are you talking about? You said "do you feel good?" Of course, he kept looking at you.
What's there to look at? Has he never felt good before?
Oh, you finished writing it.
He finished writing it, take a look.
Aunt Ah Hao, keep an eye on him.
Grandma! Hurry up and come!
Come, quickly, come, come.
Hurry up, Grandma.
Grandma, come, hurry, quickly.
Come, come. Move faster.
Haiz.
You just need to endure the pain. You're such a mature person. Come.
How could you be so impolite?
If you don't go, you will regret it the rest of your life.
Hurry up, quickly. You are almost there.
You are here.
Toshiko-san.
Mr. Yamada.
Tomoo Yamada!
Okay, that's enough.
Don't need to act so exaggerated!
Fang Ru,
Take this foreigner's luggage upstairs.
Oh, okay. You, you come with me.
♫ Love, don't leave… ♫
i>♫ Lovers may have lots of things that they can't figure out ♫
Are your legs getting better?
It's alright. It's just a fall.
Who is the girl just now?
She is, my grand-daughter.
and...your grand-daughter?
My grand-daughter?
Oh, that time?
But, our son has already passed away.
Now...We only have our grand-daughter.
Is that right.
You, why didn't you write any reply to my letters at all?
Reply? You are the one that didn't reply to any of my letters.
I am the one that didn't receive any letters back.
You're the one that didn't send me any letters back, right?
Me? I...I...
I wrote many letters,
and sent it to you,
but you never wrote back.
I thought I misunderstood your affections for me.
I thought if you had already married to the son of the village chief.
I'll never do such things!
Mr. Yamada, excuse me.
Boss, I'm sorry.
All these years, I am the one that hid all Mr. Yamada's letters from you.
That's why you didn't receive them.
These...these are the letters I wrote.
Ah Quan, why did you do this?
Boss, I'm sorry. I thought if you didn't contact him,
you wouldn't miss him. I thought, if I stayed by your side,
I can see you forever.
I'm this old.
If I tell this to people, people will laugh at me.
I know I have overdone this.
Boss, I'll take my leave.
Wait.
Don't be too mad.
Actually the reason I'm here today is
because I received a letter from Mr. Quan.
What?
Also, because of this we resolved our misunderstanding. So what about it?
Would you come with me to Japan?
If Mr. Quan was not by my side,
I wouldn't make it till today.
Is that right?
Ah Quan, this incident was indeed your fault.
But I still need to thank you.
So many years, you accompany me by my side.
You help me to take care of this hotel.
If you really think to pay me back,
I'm asking you to stay and continue accompanying me.
Help me to take care of this hotel, okay?
Thank you, boss.
Yamada sensei.
♫ Love, don't leave… ♫
♫ Lovers may have lots of things that they can't figure out ♫
I'm sorry.
If I had brought you along to Europe,
you wouldn't have suffered through all these.
I did not suffer.
Is it because Ah Quan and Fang Ru
were always by your side.
Yes.
I asked my friend to translate Ah Quan's letters for me.
Because of that, I know all about what's going on with the ryokan.
Actually, this time,
I have something like that of an idea.
What?
Uhm... thank you all for being here!
Tonight, we have a special solo recital,
by Mr. Tomoo Yamada!
He says he appreciates everyone to be here
to attend his personal small violin concerto.
- Ladies and gentlemen... - Tomoo Yamada! - Tomoo Yamada!
This ryokan, after so many years and generations,
has also faced many difficulties and challenges.
However, no matter how much difficulties Toshiko-san faced during the running of this business,
she overcame those difficulties
and came all this way because of her hard work.
This is the spirit of this ryokan.
This is also the spirit of Beitou.
No matter how time flies past,
The air here is always filled
with the smell of sulphur, which I misses dearly.
This ryokan is filled with love and fond memories.
I hope that it will not be swept away by the eras to come,
but go along with the natural flow of time
and live out its full destiny.
I will not stop praying for this wish to come true.
Therefore,
I will donate all of the royalties that I make on this piece of music that I composed in Beitou
to this ryokan to help it thrive.
Toshiko-san, if you did not exist in this world,
I would cease to exist in this world too.
Toshiko-san, thank you.
Yamada-san, thank you so much.
What did he say?
Mr. Yamada says the profit that he have earned for this song for the past 40 years
will be donated to our hotel.
What??
- It's great to have a grandfather. Thank you.- Thank you.- Thank you.
- Allen! - Hey, Fang Ru! - After-party.
I can't believe I got to meet Yamada!
Yeah, who would have thought that this grandfather that I've never met is such a generous man!
I know, right? He's so nice!
Yeah! My uncle is a really nice guy.
Cheers.
- Fang Ru? - Yeah?
I think it's about time I went back to America.
You okay?
Okay. Okay. I'm okay.
You... back to America?
Yeah, I mean, I got to meet Yamada.
What about the violin?
A) I can't afford it.
And B) I don't really need it any more,
after seeing what happened between Grandma, Uncle Quan, and Yamada.
I don't know what you say (mean) by that.
I- I learned a lot about love.
I... Love is the simplest thing, but
if you dwell on it too much you...
you get blinded by the important things of it,
and... I loved Christina so much,
I... I loved the music she loved.
I went the places she wanted to go to.
I... did well in school to make her proud.
And I didn't do any of that for myself,
so when she left me, I had nothing.
I... she was the center of my world.
I'm a bit of a dummy.
Was. You say "was."
"Was", past tense, she probably doesn't love him anymore.
Do you... love her anymore?
Fang Ru I... I need to move on with my life.
I want to move on.
When the story comes to this point, the male lead should kiss the female lead.
It's my turn.
Allen.
Fang Ru, I...
Allen.
I... I'm gonna need to get my deposit back.
I know, I'm going to give it back to you, I know.
I know!
I'm sorry I just thought I should say it.
You're a really good listener.
Uh, hey, good party, huh?
It's proved by the reality that this is not a normal story.
I don't know who was the author for it.
My lord!
What am I thinking? What am I thinking? I moved my lips so close for him to kiss.
What am I thinking? What am I thinking? Who don't I want?
I fall in love with a foreigner. It's about time for him to leave.
What am I thinking?
I'm gonna miss you, little guy. You've been a good friend.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Mushroom power.
♫ Love, don't leave... ♫
♫ Lovers may have lots of things that they can't figure out ♫
- Ah Quan,- I'm coming.
hurry up.
Allen, I'm giving you this violin as a gift.
No,no. This... I can't accept.
How can you not accept it. This violin,
to you is very important.
Grandma, you...
Your health to me is more important ,
than the violin.
You have to take care of yourself.
Be healthy.
I will visit you.
Fang Ru, going to America, take good care of her.
No problem.
Fang Ru, which state are you going to go to?
I'm not going any more.
This period of time, I learned a lot. I learned things that cannot be learned overseas.
Also, by having this foreigner around to practice English with me,
"Mary is in the Park," I have improved a lot.
It's like studying abroad.
This hotel needs me.
I want to stay with Grandma to take care of this hotel.
Our granddaughter, Fang Ru, really has grown. Has grown.
Boss, you see that Fang Ru has matured a lot.
Fang Ru, you're very obedient. Thank you, Aunt Ah Hao.
Wait a minute.
- Allen. - Aunt Ah Hao.
If you're going back you must remember to do one thing.
Love meAunt Ah Hao, I love you.
Even at this time, you want to take advantage of him.
Hey, safe trip.
By the way, I signed all your CDs.
Oh, wow! Thank you so much!
No, no, no, you should thank her.
(You're) welcome.
- This is for you. - What's this?
Thank you for... everything.
Fang Ru, thank you.
Allen, the next time you come back, Uncle Quan
will cook it for you again.
That's enough. That's enough. Don't talk something like that.
Fang Ru, walk him to the Metro Station.
Fang Ru, go, go, go!
Aunt Ah Hao, don't say strange thing.
Then, we'll get going.
- Allen, let's go. - Okay.
Bye-bye.
See you again.
Remember to come back.
You don't need to wait for me for dinner.
- Bye-bye. - Bye.
Bye-bye!
- Fang Ru. - Allen.
I... I wanted to thank you.
What are you talking? Don't mention it. It's what I'm supposed to do.
And if- if you come to America, you'll let me know, right?
Okay. I will let you know.
What? Don't assign me tasks.
Although we didn't fall in love, at least I get to embrace him now.
She turned out to be one of the nicest people I ever met.
And thank goodness she paid me back the money.
- Fang Ru. - Allen!
Take care, okay?
Okay, you too. Take care.
And take of care of Shu Min, okay?
- Who is Shu Min? - Your grandmother.
Oh right, yeah, my grandma is Shu Min.
Mary's in the park.
Are you Mary too?
- You should get a new textbook. - Oh, okay, okay.
I will. I'll go to buy one.
Like most romantic stories, there's a farewell scene.
This one is ours. But I believe this a step we both need to take.
I'll miss you.
Allen! Allen!
You must return.
Young love, old love.
The circle completes itself.
Please take good care of your health.
Yes.
Fang Ru kept me posted about the time I was away,
about old friends, about reunions...
Oh, how I really wish I was there.
Uncle Quan finally made amends with Auntie Shu Min.
In fact, he won her over.
It goes to show that, waiting actually works
as long as you're completely honest with each other.
And who could forget about the lady of the wind?
They got married. Looked like a fun wedding.
There's something compelling about this place.
It compelled me to leave and it also compelled me to stay.
This hotel, this island...
I'm back, baby!
Grandma, how are you?
Aiyo, tall nose guy, you have returned. How fortunate.
After one year has passed, you didn't forget about your promise.
Grandma, is your leg better?
My leg? It's better.
Grandma, is Fang Ru here?
Yes. She is in. Now she works really hard, really hard.
- Fang Ru! - What? - Fang Ru!
What's the matter?
- Allen. - Hi.
Fortunately, I didn't have to wait for 40 years. It's finally my turn.
Allen!
Like, I said this beautiful hot spring hotel taught me a lot about life.
It taught me how to cherish it and how to love myself.
Most importantly, it taught me that life is full of difficult paths and sometimes you need the courage
to path the longest and hardest route.
Remember, life isn't shit. Sometimes it just smells like it, might even look like it, but,
if you're really careful and you walk really slowly,
you might just find out that it's a beautiful, warm hot spring.
Welcome to the hot spring hotel.
Welcome.
Welcome! - End -
How's it this hard
Hurry up
This guy... crazy, crazy,
