How do you like it?
I’ll be full with just one.
Unbelievable…
Hey.
How is your friend?
Fortunately, it’s not pneumonia. He’ll get discharged in a few days.
Good. I heated up your room. It’ll get warm.
Thanks. I live in comfort at old age thanks to Dalsoo and Miran.
We didn’t do much.
You did. I’m well off compared to my friends.
All thanks to Dalsoo and Miran taking good care of our home.
Not at all, Father.
You usually say,”You know that now, Father? Just trust your first son.”
Is something wrong?
Nothing.
Good night.
Please rest, Father.
What’s wrong with him? He got matured now?
Make a call.
What call?
Of course to Dalgoo.
Forget it.
You must feel bad after saying things. What if he doesn’t come tomorrow?
So what if he doesn’t come?
Look at you. Why are you being so stubborn?
You saw how he behaved.
$2,000 isn’t small amount. Of course he aches over it.
But how can he be so glum and demand for short-rib stew?
He didn’t demand it.
You were down already because of Kihoon so how can he say that?
How he must look down on me.
Who looks down on you?
He looked down on me.
So you won’t call him?
I said I won’t.
Come on, call him.
No, I won’t.
It’s New Year’s Day and you won’t go?
I won’t.
Honey.
You don’t know how I grew up mistreated cuz I was the second son.
Dalsoo always got fried eggs in his lunch and allowances.
It was all like that in the old days.
If he’s been treated so well as a first son, shouldn’t he feel guilty to me?
How can he kick me out in front of Hejin and you?
Why do you keep reminding yourself?
Because I get upset the more I think about it.
Looking down on my money since he’s getting a rich son-in-law?
I earned that money working day and night with my dirty, oily hands.
I know that.
That’s why I’m not going.
Doesn’t make sense not to show up during the New Year’s Day.
Father will be furious if he finds out.
Forget it. Don’t care if he finds out or not.
You really won’t go?
I told you I won’t go. I won’t. I won’t. I said I won’t go.
Let’s see.
Not too good?
It’s good.
Why are you eating now? Why cry?
If you eat and cry… Forget it.
Yes. Kihoon did cook it.
Kihoon came?
No. I cooked the frozen ones Kihoon made before.
I called out Kihoon and bought him a meal today.
Why again?
I didn’t scold him. I apologized and encouraged him.
Giving disease then medicine?
Have a daughter of your own then you’ll understand me.
Whatever.
You will go to Uncle’s tomorrow, right?
Dalgoo is amazing. How can he not come?
Jeongsook is persuading him now.
He had a temper yesterday but I thought he’d bend a little today.
Did you have a serious fight?
No.
Dalgoo has a mean streak. Like Father like son.
No, no. When are you going to Jisuk’s house?
Jisuk will come here for New Year’s Day greeting. I’ll go with him later.
Why go there every day when even not married? You went there yesterday.
It’s New Year’s Day, I should go. Ms. In-law must be lonely.
Eunji. Don’t treat so nicely in the beginning.
If you treat him better once in a while, he’ll appreciate you more.
Dalja.
Am I wrong?
Why treat him well now when you’ll see him all your life?
I’m not like that.
Wait and see. You’ll find out what in-laws are all about.
You’re an in-law too, to me.
Oh, that’s right. Gosh, I’m an exception.
Dalgoo didn’t come yet?
No.
Late on New Year’s Day? Call him.
Father, Dalgoo won’t come.
Won’t come? Why not?
I told him off and he must be upset.
So he won’t come to see me on New Year’s Day?
What did you tell him?
He didn’t just tell him off. They had a fight.
Fight? Nice going, fighting on the first day of a new year.
I’m sorry Father.
Rice cake soup will get mushy. Let’s eat by ourselves.
When Dalgoo gets mad, it lasts long.
What nonsense.
Eunji, call him.
Okay.
Gee, ridiculous.
He’s probably on the way, Father.
We’re here.
He came.
Welcome, Jeongsook.
Nice going. It’s most heartbreaking for parents to see their kids fight.
You only got each other so why fight?
I’m sorry, Father.
Anyways, everyone’s here so it’s okay.
Dad, pick up your spoon. I’m hungry.
Okay, let’s eat.
Let’s eat.
I thought you weren’t coming. It was a lot of work preparing all these food.
Soojeong, eat a lot.
Okay.
Yes, today’s a great day.
Father, have a blessed New Year.
I wish you a great health.
Okay. I wish you all to be healthy and prosperous.
And don’t fight each other.
I wish you a great health and a long life.
I wish you a great healthy, long life.
Thanks.
Allowance, Father.
Father, here is from me.
- Okay, thanks. - I put plenty.
Okay, I’ll use it well.
Gosh, Father’s made some good money.
I’ll use it well.
I’ll give you some too. I’ll skip the adults.
Receive the New Year’s Day greetings from grandkids.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Gee. Thanks.
Live happily, Eunji.
Yes, Grandpa.
My eldest one, Kihoon, stay healthy and work hard in Saudi Arabia.
Okay, don’t worry.
Live joyful and healthy life, Hejin and Soojeong.
Yes, Grandpa.
I’ll skip the allowance to ones over 20 years old so only to Soojeong.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Gee, so cute. Gee, so cute.
Yes, grow up nice and pretty.
$5 is too little when you give only to one grandchild.
She should know the value of money.
Dig ground all day and see if you get $5.
Gee, Father. You got so much allowances today. Open your wallet.
Be quiet. You all ate rice cake soup so act your age.
I hope my family and the world become happy. The end.
What, the world too?
Still sleeping? Get up now.
Huh? Yoonhee. When did she go out?
Go to Uncle’s house by yourself. I’ll come home late.
This kid…
Fine. She won’t feel like seeing relatives now. I’ll let it go this time.
Miran, don’t do this.
Wait, wait.
Gee. I’m okay, Miran.
Look. Have a drink with Dalgoo. Don’t drink alone.
Have a sit, Dalgoo.
I brought him staying alone in Kihoon’s room.
I said I’m okay, Miran.
Gosh, you have to make up.
I cooked what you wanted, short rib stew. Eat that and talk.
Drink.
I’m not a beast. I know I’m grateful to Miran.
I shouldn’t act like that over $2,000 for Miran’s sake but you know me.
I grew up poor so I get stingy over money
I know and it’s okay with me but I got upset when you mistreated Miran.
Dalsoo, how can you say that? How can I mistreat Miran?
And, even if I was wrong, you can’t return this to me.
I know, I was wrong too. I shouldn’t have made a big fuss.
I could’ve stopped at whining but Dalja kept irritating me.
I’m sorry, Dalsoo.
I know. Eat the short rib stew.
Miran didn’t have to make short rib stew. Now I feel bad.
Miran cares about you a lot.
Remember she’d take lunch pail to your work if you forgot to?
I know.
I was very disappointed yesterday.
When I heard before that you gave the $2,000 for Eunji,
I was so thankful and sorry. I even wrote this letter.
You wrote me a letter?
Yes.
I thank you for caring about Eunji this much.
I always felt sorry that you got treated less for being the second son.
My smart and hardy brother, Dalgoo. Your lacking brother loves you.
What becomes of me if you say that?
What can a lacking brother say?
Dalsoo.
Yes.
Man. Dalsoo, I’ve done wrong. I’m sorry.
No, no. you’re a nice man. I’m the bad one.
No, you’re not. You’re a very nice man.
I’m sorrier.
You shouldn’t be. You even wrote a letter.
Gosh, they’re just too much. Too much.
But it’s so nice they made up.
Yes, very nice.
What in the.
Don’t cry.
Grandfather, please live a healthy and long life.
I will.
Father, Mother. Please receive my New Year greeting.
No. I’ll count it as having received. Wanna drink with Dalgoo and me?
No. Just go say hi.
Okay.
Grandfather, please enjoy drinks with your friends.
Gee, you shouldn’t have.
If you don’t want it, I’ll take it.
Okay, thank you.
Wait. Son-in-law Kim.
No. The wedding’s postponed so what should I call you?
I like calling you Son-in-law Kim.
You can call me that.
I can, right? Okay, Son-in-law. Let’s drink.
Don’t force him.
It’s fun to drink with family during holidays.
Just one drink, one.
Okay, I’ll have just one.
Good, good. You’re so cool. I like you.
Dalsoo, cheers. Cheers.
Cheers.
Why did you bring so much?
My grandma sent them.
We enjoyed her dumplings.
I know. Her cooking is excellent.
Thanks. Eunji and I made too.
Bragging when you made just a few?
Sure.
Gosh, already having a love fight?
No.
We didn’t get you much though.
Some food, cinnamon drink, rice drink, and dried croakers.
Grandma likes rice drink. Also cinnamon drink. Best gift for her.
But Jisuk. One drink isn’t enough. Just one more.
Dalgoo.
Are you already protecting your son-in-law, Miran?
Give me one more.
My goodness. What in the?
I like him. So manly.
Good, good. One more.
Where are you going?
To see a friend.
Oh, who?
Oh, who? That sounds meaningful. You know something?
No, I don’t.
I’ll be back.
Bye.
You’ll be lonely without Kihoon.
Probably.
Let me ask one thing. Tell me honestly.
Okay.
Do you love me?
Of course
What is this?
Open it.
I’ve thought about it all night. The moment I met you till our breakup.
I could understand you for not asking me to wait for you.
We love each other so why break up? We can get married.
Yoonhee.
Get married and go. You can do that.
Does it make sense?
Our parents couldn’t understand us so let’s register marriage only.
Even though our bodies will be apart, our hearts will be together, right?
I can wait and love you even if we’re apart.
But…
I’ve decided so. Think about it.
No, just trust and follow me. You’re mine.
Jisuk. Drink. Drink.
Drink up. Drink.
Gee. Dalsoo’s a goner already. Jisuk, let us drink now.
Here. Let’s drink. Cheers.
Aren’t you drinking too much?
No, it’s okay.
Look. Jisuk’s just fine.
Jisuk. I’m curious. Can I ask you something?
Yes, of course.
Do you have worries too?
Pardon?
You were born rich. So do you have any worries?
You don’t know. People with ten things have ten worries.
Right. I didn’t live long but I think Aunt is right.
Bastard. Why are you here?
You scared me.
Father, why am I here? I’m your son-in-law now.
Who is my son-in-law? You didn’t even get married.
Then future son-in-law.
So who made you my future son-in-law? Eunji’s too good for you.
I know. Eunji is too good for me.
Good that you know, Bastard.
Gee, embarrassing. Why do call him Bastard?
I know. He’ll feel humiliated.
Bastard, you feel humiliated?
No, Father.
Bastard, drink up. Drink.
Straight up. Cheers.
Gosh, still drinking? Stop now.
Why do you keep saying stop?
Would Ms. In-law be happy to see him so drunk?
Look. Jisuk isn’t drunk at all. Very sober.
How can he be sober after drinking so much?
I’m not drunk either. I’m sober too. Me too.
Gosh, talk straight.
I’m not drunk.
Gosh, you’re about to pass out. Stop insisting.
Our family men can be so stubborn. Why are they so stubborn?
This is nuts. They do this every time they drink together.
I know. And It’s not even night yet.
Sorry, Jisuk.
It’s okay, Mother.
Go home now. She will be waiting.
Okay. I’ll go then.
Okay.
Good night.
I’ll be back.
Okay. Good job.
Not at all. Please go in, Mother.
Are you really okay?
Yes, I’m okay. Please go in, Mother
Let’s go, Eunji.
Be careful.
Yes. Don’t come out, Mother.
Jisuk is amazing. Is it because he’s still young?
Why did Uncle have to keep giving you drinks?
Jisuk, are you okay?
Father, I’m not Bastard.
Jisuk.
I’m Son-in-law Kim. Please look favorably of me.
I’m sorry, Mr. Choi.
It’s okay.
You, my friend, are the best. Missing me and asking me to come.
I brought the food from my uncle’s. Very tasty.
You like fritters.
Thank you.
Where’s Dr. Lee?
She went out.
She was feeling down about Kihoon going abroad.
She’s very affectionate. She cried so much when her puppy was missing.
How can you compare Kihoon to a puppy?
Gee. I’m just saying it.
Oyster fritter is very good. Try it.
Eat a lot.
A holiday isn’t so special these days.
When we were young, we could only eat meat or get new clothes during holidays.
Right. We’d wait for holidays so much.
Now we can eat the fancy food any time now.
I know. The problem is we eat too much.
Even though we were poor, those days must have been nice.
As I get old, I keep thinking of the old days.
Me too. Do you remember?
When you and I would hang out, Miran always wanted to hang out too.
That’s why I called out Miran too.
Huh? Really?
Careful. Careful. Careful.
I’m sorry, Grandma.
Okay, okay. Carefully lay him down.
Gosh. What happened, Mr. Choi?
At my house, with elders, he drank a little…
It’s not a little though. How much did he drink?
Mr. Choi. Was he drunk at the in-law’s house?
No.
Well, it’s…
My goodness. He’s never been this drunk before.
You just let him? You should’ve stopped him.
He wasn’t drunk at my house.
He probably tried to stay sober in front of the elders.
Why get him so drunk when he’s busy at work these days?
He even brought lots of work home to finish during the holiday.
I’m sorry.
Gosh.
I came to give you the New Year greeting.
I’ll get it next time.
Okay. I’ll bring honey water.
How can they make him so drunk like this?
Why did you bring these for?
One’s for Hyunsook and one’s for you.
I brought fritters and chapchae. Weather’s cold so they’re probably cold.
I’m eating well so you didn’t have to bring it.
Hey, look at this.
That’s from lack of exercise.
Is it?
I’m your only sibling and I don’t even take care of you. I’m sorry.
What do you mean? I’m the one who’s always sorry.
Why should you be?
Don’t bring me food next holiday. I get sadder when I eat your food.
Why, it doesn’t taste good?
Not that. I can’t eat when I think about all the work put into making food,
Shopping, washing, prepping, steaming, cooking and all.
It’s much easier on my mind to just buy food.
Jingyu. I’m an experienced housewife. Cooking isn’t hard.
How can it not be hard?
It isn’t.
Stop it. Like you aren’t siblings.
So hard to bear with you two. Pitiful are the women without a brother.
Envious? Miran and I are usually like this.
I’ll enjoy since you brought them.
Me too.
Yes.
I said bad things to Kihoon, you and Jingyu. Forget what I’ve said.
How can I?
No need to go against the grain. I’m apologizing so accept it.
Okay.
You got a daughter so you understand.
I apologized to your son. Hey, I didn’t hate your son.
But you were a little too much.
Gosh, she’s little bitter.
Because you can be rude.
Geez. Right. It was all my fault. Unbelievable.
Anyways Kihoon got a good job so let’s forget the past and get along.
Okay.
Yes. We can’t drink on New Year’s Day. Let’s go out anyways.
Now it’s quiet.
Honey, water.
Did you get up? Why did you drink so much?
Don’t know. I’m thirsty. Where’s Miran?
She went to give food to the in-law.
In-law?
Yes, that dentist brother of hers.
-Cheers.|-Cheers.
Nice.
Happy New Year and be healthy.
You too, Jingyu.
Yes. It’s an addiction to want coffee to complete the meal, right?
Right.
This reminds of all of us eating at the eatery in the old days.
Yes. We went there every day when the soft ice cream came in.
Miri’s Eatery.
The spicy rice cake made of flour but was very tasty. Old days.
Kids these days won’t like the taste.
I feel better now that you two made up.
Did it bother you that much? We’ve been friends for a long time though.
Right, Hyunsook?
Yes. If it weren’t for the kids…
It’s okay, Hyunsook. I understand you.
Thank you. Let’s get along like before.
Yes.
I have a guest coming so I’ll get up first. See you later.
Okay, Hyunsook. Bye.
Bye.
Nice to see you get along.
I’m always on your side but I know Hyunsook’s situation too.
So I had hard times being stuck in the middle of you two.
It’s too bad Kihoon and Dr. Lee broke up but they’ll meet some others.
Yes.
Oh. You got your savings back, right?
Huh? What savings?
He said he’d return the money you gave me for Eunji’s wedding.
I didn’t get it back.
Can’t be. You didn’t get it back?
