I already told you, you can't go.
- I'm not a little kid anymore. - Yes, you are.
I'm not going anywhere else. It's Min-suh's grandma's house.
Of course, her grandmother who lives very far away.
It's only 2 and 1/2 hours on KTX.
- You see? It's really far away. - Geez, mom!
- Why is it so loud? What's going on? - Dad!
Yes, yes. I am your dad.
She wants to spend the night out this weekend.
- Spend the night away from home? - It's not like that.
I'm going with Min-suh for her errands.
Dad, can I spend just one night over at Min-suh's grandmother's house?
Her grandmother's?
- Send her. - It's in Busan.
- Busan? - We're taking KTX and her grandmother will get us at the station.
Gong Yoon is going with them.
What? Who is going?
- Mom! - What? I didn't say anything wrong. Why are you screaming at me?
Yoon is going because he has relatives in Busan too.
You know what, Ik-hee?
There was saying back in the days.
Don't trust cats with fishes.
You can eat meals outside the house, but you shouldn't sleep outside...
Why are you telling me old sayings?
Geez, it's a generation gap.
- What? - I can't understand what you're saying!
That damned girl.
Honey...
did she just say there was a generation gap between us?
- I think so. - And because of the generation gap, she can't understand me?
It's okay. We don't have a generation gap and I don't understand you.
- Is that supposed to comfort me? - Don't worry about it. Get yourself to work.
That damned daughter of your's wants to go catch Pokemon.
- Poke what? - You don't know what that is?
Pokemon Go, the game. Everyone is raving about it.
There's an update so she wants to catch it.
- There's a game, like that? - I guess there is a generation gap between us.
What's going on, Na Ik-hee? You're not late, today.
I'm depressed so don't try talking to me.
What's going on?
- I can't go to Busan. - Why?
- My mom said I can't. - Why didn't you beg your dad?
Of course I begged him, but he's from the Chosun era.
I think they won't let me go since Yoon is going.
You told them?
I thought they'd feel safer if they knew three were going instead of two.
And plus, we're going to your grandma's.
- Try asking again. - My mom has never changed her mind before.
- Then try persuading your dad. - My mom always wins my dad.
Aren't you going to work? You'll be late at this rate.
I'm going to go.
In a recent research it was found that more are feeling the generational gap.
Due to the impeachment of the president...
What generation gap?
To me, generation gap seemed like word...
that happened in another world.
Not only with Ik-hee, but I have never...
felt a generation gap at work either.
- Good morning, Mr. Na. - Good morning.
What's with your clothes, Kwi-nam?
You're not getting together with friends here.
I didn't have any field work...
and it's casual dress code for inside days.
Casual dress?
Why didn't you wear your swimsuit? It's too easy-going these days, isn't it?
When I was new, I wasn't even allowed to unbutton one button.
The world has gotten too easy, hasn't it?
You're absolutely right, Mr. Na.
It's a generation gap.
What do you mean, generation gap?
What generation gap? You should just accept what your superior says!
What generation gap?
There is a generation gap. I wasn't allowed to raise my voice at work.
- Mr. Choi. - You even arrive after your superiors.
I really feel a generation gap, Mr. Na.
Why are you adding fuel to the fire, Mr. Choi?
I feel really depressed today.
Don't you know how to use your phone?
I told you to call or text me, if you needed anything.
Have you been waiting all morning long?
I knew you would be out here sometime today.
It's also kind of fun waiting for you and wondering when you...
would make your presence.
You really are eccentric.
To be honest...
it's harder for me to send a text than sitting here waiting for you.
Well, that's true for me as well.
It seems like work when I have to reply to...
those text messages from other people.
When I'm about finished replying, they're on to another subject.
In the end, I realized that I was the only one who was late on every reply.
- I don't know why they're in such a hurry. - Me neither.
It's a shame, since I already feel like...
the rest of my life is flying by so quickly.
Everyone else is in a hurry.
Amazing! Amazing. I have big news.
I guess that's the reason you're called the sales department's official tabloid.
- What is it now? - Our company...
is bringing back the labor union.
The labor union?
- We have one. - It may have existed, but it was inactive for many years.
They're bringing it back with active members.
Why all of a sudden?
Why else? Our company isn't in good shape these days.
They're nervous since talks of layoffs are going around so they're slowing moving.
They're starting off with pay wages, vacation days and retirement age.
Geez, there was a time when I used to go into heated battles.
We went on strikes and fought for our lives.
- Isn't that right, Mr. Choi? - I'm not sure. I don't remember.
How could you not, when you led us?
The scenery becomes different when you're standing at different heights.
Department heads are forced into early retirement.
You've become a coward and an old geezer, Mr. Choi.
I've become wise and it's trauma from surviving the war.
- You've changed. You have. - Mr. Na...
you should lead us.
- The future of union members... - Why are you doing this to me?
Nothing is for sure yet. They'll meet with union members and start from there.
They'll take a vote to see who will stay and who will leave.
I'll just follow the lead.
- Whoa, Mr. Na! - I meant I'll follow Mr. Choi and leave the union.
Ik-hee, can't I eat first?
Go ahead and eat.
I'll give you a massage while you eat.
You just look so tired these days. Is it hard at work, dad?
Why are you doing this as soon as your mom left to take trash out?
I'm showing you my sincerity.
Let's not try to pull the wool over the sheep's eye.
I know my daughter very well.
Dad, can't you try to persuade mom for me?
I need to catch a specific Pokemon, but it only appears there.
- Why do you want to catch them? - Because it's fun.
How about you try to catch what you can around here?
Soon, dragonflies and cicadas will be out as well.
Amazing! Why don't you just ask me to catch cockroaches at home?
Cockroaches are gross.
What's going on? Why are you still here?
You're not still begging for us to send you to Busan, are you?
Mom, will you please let me go?
I'll even give you Min-suh's grandmother's phone number.
No!
It doesn't make sense for you to go down there to play a game.
- If you keep doing this, I'm going to run away. - What?
- I'm running away! - Don't get my hopes up.
- Go ahead. - What's wrong with you? Don't listen to your mom.
- Don't even think about... - Forget it!
You go catch cockroaches.
That damned girl. I was being nice since she's beginning her teen years.
See what happens, if you keep this up!
You'd better not budge either.
Why are you taking it out on me?
These days, even labor unions are active over cell phones.
What do they want?
Your vote. You can stay or leave the union by clicking a button.
- What are you going to do, Mr. Park? - I'm going to go with the masses.
That's what my mom told me to do.
She said if I didn't know where to go, follow the masses.
- And you, Ms. Ahn? - I'm keeping my vote secret.
They're going to announce the votes so it's not a secret, after all.
- We're not strangers. - Yes, we are.
Is that right?
And you, Mr. Na?
I'm still thinking about it. What about you, Mr. Choi?
Why are you asking? I told you yesterday.
Is this the collapse of the i386 generation?
You're right about me being born in the 60s and graduating in the 80s.
But I'm no longer in my 30s.
You're part of the IMF generation, aren't you?
You could say that.
Because of that, it was hard trying to get hired.
You could say, I felt the effects of IMF with my whole body.
I'd say the generation before us directly felt it.
They had expense cuts to restructuring. They had to quit when they had families.
Geez, this is getting depressing.
Is it impossible to achieve freedom from labor laws?
To have an equal working place and appropriate wages?
I don't think we're asking for much.
I get a strange sense from you.
Nothing fancy.
I'm beginning to see a strong union voice from you.
Strong, my butt.
Kwi-nam is a part of the peaceful gathering generation.
They come together and walk the streets with candles.
I can feel the astonishing age difference even in this small office.
- Isn't that right, Mr. Choi? - No, I don't feel that.
Geez, Mr. Choi.
You have freedom to vote, but make sure you're careful...
you could be gone from the labor force forever while demanding labor freedom.
I sense the company will look down on me if I go with the union...
but feel like a traitor if I don't follow the union.
I'm envious of Kim Tae-hee, since it's not relevant to interns.
Where is Tae-hee? I haven't seen her all morning long.
I asked her to give me copies of the market research.
Geez, I'll do it. I'll do it myself.
How do I know if people are joining the labor union or not?
I was just asking, that's all.
Are you having any trouble, Tae-hee?
I thought I was hired for my own merits and not you. Wasn't I?
How come you keep trying to show we know one another at work?
I didn't have anything to do with it. Okay.
I wouldn't have applied here if I knew my uncle worked here.
I only did it because Mom told me to.
But why are you working here?
Is my Tae-hee getting mad at me?
I don't know. I'm going to go.
I have a lot of work.
Why? Is someone giving you a hard time? Or they give you too much work?
- Stop it! - Okay.
If you run into any problem, you can tell me.
Okay, I'm going to go.
So, Kim Tae-hee was talking bad about you with her friends?
Yes.
I wasn't snooping, I accidentally saw it while looking for files.
She's says I'm close-minded. I'm speechless.
I'm so open-minded. She also called me a curmudgeon.
A curmudgeon who divides people.
- You do divide people. - I do?
Have you realized your habits?
You start off your conversations with either...
'back in the day', 'when I was your age' or 'kids these days'.
But I'm not telling them a lie.
If you look at it that way, I never had younger colleagues like you.
Mr. Choi.
You make people uncomfortable when we take off work on time.
You're the only one who asks Tae-hee for coffee too.
I'm not asking her to make it, I give her my card to buy it.
And she puts the points on her card. Isn't it a win-win situation?
It's once in awhile.
What would you do if Tae-hee gave you her card and asked you to buy coffee?
- Would you buy it for her? - That's different. We have different positions.
You see? You are an old geezer.
Geez, Mr. Choi!
You're making things worse.
Anyways, this can't continue. I can't let her do this.
Are you going to ask her?
You're going to admit looking at her messenger to see her conversation?
- I'm not that kind of person. - Then what?
I'm going to show her how cool I am and how open I am.
I'm looking forward to this.
Why would you ask to talk to me, if you knew the answer?
Because she praised you in her messages.
So I was asking for advice.
- What did she say? - She said you were humorous and cool.
I don't know what to do with this popularity.
Mr. Na, I hope everything turns out well.
(Cool Man)
- Ms. Cho! - Oh my.
Ms. Cho!
Oh no. Are you okay?
What are we going to do? Can you get up?
Geez, my hands. My goodness, my hands hurt.
What are we going to do?
- Are you okay? - What do you think you're doing?
You should stay home if you're old! Who are you trying to scare?
What? He fell from being surprised since you were speeding in the alley!
I wasn't speeding! That old man threw his body onto the road.
Is this some kind of act to swindle money?
What? Are you trying to do some Hollywood action to rip off money from me?
The least you could do is apologize. What the hell did you say?
Don't you have any parents, you punk?
You're driving me insane. What do my parents have to do with this?
I'm letting this go since you're old. But if I had my way...
What? What are you going to do, punk?
What would you do if you didn't let it go?
Back in my day, I was a marine who fought in the Vietnam War!
Oh, is that so?
Then you should find better things to do than run in front of my car. How unlucky.
- What? Unlucky? - Stop, stop.
Stop it, if you're not hurt. Be on your way.
- He's not hurt, so get going. - Geez, what a shitty day.
He thinks anyone can call themselves a marine.
That damned punk! Are you going to keep this up?
- Stop it, now! - Ouch!
Why would you try and run there?
I thought you were going to get hurt.
How about you make sure you don't get hurt?
From now on, don't talk about the Vietnam War...
or anything like that in front of young people.
Most young people don't even know about that these days.
These damned punks. They forget who allowed them to live like this.
Don't be a show-off.
It's not because I want to show off.
I yell because they make me feel bad.
Whenever I go anywhere or they move out of the way for me...
people never forget to glance my way.
My goodness, is that so?
If I feel like it's too much and yell...
they point and say I'm the one who is close-minded.
- They say they can't understand us. - We were once like that as well.
Our elders told us the hardships of...
Japanese Imperialism and the Korean civil war...
but we never listened and couldn't relate to them.
That's because we had no memory of those occasions.
It's the same. They don't understand since they didn't go through it.
At least we know, we didn't do anything wrong in our lives.
So, stop being so unhappy.
You did a good job of putting on my band-aid.
Tae-hee, how about a glass of green tide latte?
Green tide latte?
I'm just joking. Have something cold to drink while you're working.
Oh, also. I submitted your cell number so you can get points.
Mr. Na! Why would you give this to me?
You went and bought coffee for me, so I'm returning the favor.
- I see. Thank you. - Cheers!
Cheers.
Mr. Na!
Are you doing this because of the copies I need to do this morning?
No, no, no.
I copied them since I thought you were busy. You see?
I'm so sorry. I should've done them.
It's alright. Who cares who does it?
It's alright.
I'm sorry, Mr. Na.
I'm sorry.
Three, two, one!
- Tae-hee, why aren't you taking off? - Excuse me?
It's 6 o'clock. You need to get going.
I still have a lot of work left.
Geez, you can do it tomorrow. Finish it tomorrow.
An employee's happiness relies on going home on-time.
Hurry. Get going.
Are you mad at me for something, Mr. Na?
No, of course not. Go ahead and get going.
- It's alright, get going. - I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Choi.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Tae-hee, I'll see you in your dreams.
Now, let's start getting ready to go home too.
I think she was moved since I was being so cool with her.
She was so moved on her way home.
I think being humorous is the only way for good communication.
Would you like a glass of green tide latte?
Isn't that funny? Isn't it?
Yes, I guess you're easy to laugh at.
I believe the only way to get over the generation gap is by being cool.
So that's why, I decided to be cool with Ik-hee as well.
- I'm home. - Hi. Speak of the devil.
Wash your hands and come eat.
I don't want to.
I'm too tired from band practice. I'm going straight to bed.
Then why did you start band?
Geez, what's wrong with being in a band?
I used to the Hans Band as well.
- What's that? - Don't you know Hans Band?
I flunked my test.
So I didn't want to go home.
I was so mad, I went to the arcade.
Mom, what's wrong with dad?
What? He's being his usual self.
Ik-hee!
If you want to go to Busan this weekend, go ahead.
Honey!
Really?
Of course.
You should catch monsters if you want to.
They're not monsters, they're Pokemons.
- You're really going to send me? - That's what I said.
- Are you crazy? - What's wrong? Why can't you be cool about this?
We have to admit they're different from our generation.
It's okay. You can go.
All right! You're the best, dad!
Right? Aren't I the best?
Yes. You're the only one for me.
And also...
- What's this? - I hit you 3 times...
so our generation gap will disappear.
You're right, no more generation gap.
You're funny.
You're not sleeping yet, Ik-hee?
- Is that the song you'll be singing for the festival? - Yeah.
But I haven't decided a solo song for me.
What song should I do?
A solo song?
What about this song?
It's a song from a singer I used to really like.
Hold on a second.
What do you think? isn't it good?
It sounds like a song from the Bronze Age.
It's not good?
No, it's good. I'll think about it.
- Who is my daughter? - For today, me.
- Thank you for giving me permission. - Good night.
Really? Your dad let you go?
That's what I said. My dad must have the cool disease. He's letting me go.
That's great. I was afraid I would have to go with Gong Yoon.
What?
Were you going to go even though I couldn't?
It's because I have relatives there and Snorlax can only be caught in Haeundae.
But you were still willing to go without me.
Stop. Let's just be glad that we're going together.
That's right. Let's go and have fun.
Okay.
I'm so excited. It's the first time going on vacation without my parents.
Where should we go?
Here, these are the places Busan has Pokemons.
We can go to Busan's Centum and Haeundae's Dalmaji route.
So we'll go here and then head over this way.
What do you think?
Okay, let's go here and here too.
- What's this? - What is it?
I don't know. I think everyone has one.
Surprise!
Have yourself a sweet day!
So that's why you gave us all lollipops?
It's strawberry. I like grape better.
Strawberries are much better these days.
Isn't that right, Tae-hee?
Well, I'm not too sure...
'The Little Prince' has Antoine de Saint-exupAŠry
but candy should be very very strawberry.
Stop! We're all need to eat. Let's go get lunch.
Today's menu, pasta salad. What do you think, Mr. Choi?
Sounds good.
I had drinks last night, so pasta doesn't...
Why are you being a geezer? People cure hangovers with hamburgers these days.
An ion beverage with pasta will be perfect.
Isn't that right, Tae-hee?
I'm not too sure...
- I chose this menu for you, so you'll have lunch with us. - Okay.
I'm sitting this one out, I'm having beef-bone soup.
- Me too. - Beef-bone soup? That's for old people.
- Me too. Sign me up. - I'll let you join, if you're paying.
You promised you'd buy lunch since I bought last time.
I think I want pasta instead.
- Let's go, Kwi-nam. - Okay.
Then, the four of us?
Excuse me, Mr. Na.
I had a late breakfast, so I'm not very hungry.
I chose this menu because of you. Come on. Let's go.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Oh no. I left my phone.
Go ahead, I'll catch up to you.
- We'll wait. - It's alright. I'll just be a minute.
But I'll buy you guys lunch.
Amazing. I think Mr. Na is getting back at me.
He's suddenly nice to me and he doesn't send me out for coffee.
Did you get caught for spitting in his coffee?
It seems he's trying to invent a new torture.
I had a cold yesterday, but he bought me a cold green tea latte...
and told me to drink a green tide latte.
Whoa. Green tide latte?
Whoa. There's no answer for him.
And today, he handed out lollipops and acted like we were close.
Geez, that sounds horrible.
Geez, how disgusting. Shaking.
Is he like Morita?
I don't know!
I'm being forced to lunch with him.
This isn't supposed to be the military!
It's okay. Be cool.
I can't be an old geezer.
I'm cool.
I'm... am I cool?
Did you see the announcement from the union?
They decided not to do anything and retreat to doing nothing.
Did they not get enough interest?
As for me, I told them I wasn't leaving but I couldn't attend their gatherings.
I guess that's why.
But...
the most shocking part...
were the new employees.
What about new employees?
According to rumors...
they didn't like the fact that they had to join automatically.
They especially had a lot of employees who stated they weren't interested in unions.
They're so selfish.
- You must've agreed to the union. - No, I didn't.
But they take it too far.
They support individualism, complain and they give-up too easily.
They think they're patient and misunderstood.
Why is this pasta so darn cold?
Geez!
Mr. Na, this is pasta salad.
Tae-hee!
Back in my days, new employees didn't start eating until the elders started.
You have no manners when you're the youngest!
And why is it that I need to take care of you, instead of you taking care of me?
Mr. Na!
I said I didn't even want to eat this. Why are you doing this?
You should at least make sure you had your own fork.
Mr. Na, I'll give you my fork. You can use this fork instead.
I shouldn't have brought up the union.
That's right. This is all your fault.
You should consider my feelings when I gave candy and bought pasta.
Aren't you being too irrational?
Honey, are you really going to send Ik-hee to Busan?
Min-suh might have family there, but it's still Busan.
Yes, they're generation is different from our's.
It might not be a big deal, but it's still dangerous.
It's not dangerous.
Honey!
I have a plan, so don't worry about it.
- What sort of plan? - I have a plan.
Honey...
but am I...
really that old?
- Am I old and close-minded? - What are you talking about?
I'm just curious...
if I've become an unstoppable curmudgeon...
an old geezer or something like that.
Of course you've gotten old, when I'm an old woman too.
That's not what I'm talking about.
When I was in my 20s and 30s...
I determined I would never...
become a curmudgeon or an old geezer.
But even before I noticed it...
I became an old man.
But...
wouldn't it be weird if you were old and acted like you were in your 20s or 30s?
I guess that means...
you see me as an old man as well.
Was I obvious?
Go to bed.
Mr. Choi! Mr. Choi!
He's not here?
He hasn't returned from lunch with Mr. Na. What's going on?
Wow. I was surprised by Mr. Choi.
- What? - I just heard that there were...
only 2 people who stayed with the union and were currently in high positions.
Out of the two, one of them was Mr. Choi.
Really?
He acted like he wasn't going to stay.
He has a warm heart unlike other older generations.
Is it because he's the i386 generation?
They're different from the protest generation.
I don't know about that, but that sounds like our Mr. Choi.
But where do you hear all these rumors?
How about working that hard?
Geez, what's wrong with you?
Isn't it good to have someone who has the latest news?
How about working during that time?
You thought I wouldn't notice you putting your work on my desk?
I put it back on your desk, so do it yourself.
My dear colleague, let's not be like this. Don't look so serious.
Aren't we colleagues?
- Let go and get away from me. - Okay.
I'll help you. I have time.
You will? I can always depend on you.
Please, you don't have to hug me.
Let's go.
What's with the song?
We're not kids. What's this?
Wasn't it you who gave out lollipops? It's a great dessert.
Kids these days don't eat stuff like this.
I thought you wanted to be cool and not discuss generations.
I give up.
They're so mean.
They're rude and selfish.
Mr. Choi, what's wrong with our younger generation?
Unions are a hassle and they'd rather go with the masses?
They scared...
and have no company loyalty.
Instead of being scared, they might not trust us.
Nor a sense of belonging.
Isn't that the same thing?
No, it means that we didn't earn their trust.
They don't need to feel a sense of belonging when there's no definite future.
My goodness. Everyone is uncertain of their future.
Do you know this song?
It's a children's song.
Ik-hee used to sing it when she was younger.
Really? I sang this a lot when I was protesting.
- This song? - It's actually a protest song from a group called Ggotdaji.
- Aren't you part of the last protest generation? - I'm not sure.
I failed my test for the 4th time during those days.
We lived in the same era, but had differing perspectives. Generations are the same.
So we have to accept we're different.
Just like our predecessor and our generation...
let's believe this generation is living to their best ability as well.
So, what's the conclusion?
Don't act like you're cool or friendly?
I'm just saying we shouldn't point fingers.
No one should point fingers, since we tried not to live as cowards.
Let's go back. Back in my day, we couldn't get away with spending time outside.
That's right.
There was a generation who believed patriotism...
was following all orders from their country.
A generation that shed their blood trying to prove the world was wrong.
And now...
there is a generation who believe...
giving up is their answer for resistance.
Our generations...
weren't wrong...
we're all just different.
(Busan)
I found it! Snorlax!
Ik-hee! Hurry up! Hurry!
You said you'd leave after dropping us off.
I was going to, but this is so fun. I can't believe how fun this is.
Don't worry about me. I have a hotel here too.
- We can go back up together. - Dad!
It's Dragonite! Hurry and go catch him!
(Episode 20: Regretful Generations)
(Super Family 2017)
We're working on Labor Day?
I didn't tell you to come. I just said I would be here.
- I should report... - I'm not coming in.
What can I do? He told us to be here.
We're not slaves or servants.
- What do we do? - We need to protect our rights.
Comrades! We're all on the same boat.
Are you listening to me?
This is the song of angry citizens!
(Next Monday night at 11:10)
