You guys are watching...
Fluorescent Man.
What the hell is she doing?
Did she make that device herself?
She's gone completely insane.
If she isn't going to get another job, she should just get married.
That's her first meal of the day.
Let her eat in peace.
Do it after she's done eating.
No weapons.
Are you done eating?
My god.
Nothing is impossible.
She's eating a potato
and soon she'll become a couch potato.
She's farting in succession.
I can't wait until she finishes eating dessert.
Hey. Ae-bong.
She's eating while she sleeps.
Ae-bong.
My girlfriend Ae-bong never had qualms about anything.
Honey, throw this thing out.
It's useless.
Her parents found out she was unemployed after 1 week she was fired.
And in a month, she became a nuisance to her parents.
Seok.
What the heck? I didn't recognize you.
Why not?
You're scaring me.
Did I do something wrong? Just get mad at me or hit me.
My darling, you are so funny.
Wow. I...
And what are you wearing?
It's cold out. People will think you're nuts.
Just go along with it or else.
That hurts, but I feel better now that you hit me.
You're always asking for it.
Here are your drinks.
Thank you.
-Are you-- -I'm not preparing to get married.
I'm just... How should I say it?
I'm trying various things
to bring out my hidden talent.
Cooking, quilting, flower arrangements...
With these skills I'll be able to make money without having to retire.
Sure. I guess you have a point.
They might come in handy later.
Right?
Hey. Seok.
My dad said you should come over.
-Why? -What?
Why are you so shocked? Is it that surprising?
That's not it. It's just that you've been talking about preparing for marriage,
then you suddenly switched over to your dad, so...
It felt a bit...
"A bit"? You're a bit...
Stop jumping to conclusions.
I'm so nervous.
I'm sure I can win over your mother with my looks,
but your father is a bit...
scary.
So tell me.
What is he like?
My dad?
He's just like
every other average dad.
-"Average"? -Yes, average.
Dad is always interested in social issues
such as bullying in school.
I did it all.
Hey, it's the ugly dude.
Hey, ugly dude.
Let's go.
Hey, ugly dude.
-Let's go. -Hey, ugly dude.
Let's just go.
-Are they your friends? -What?
No. They are the bullies at my school.
If you don't want them to call you names you should tell them to stop.
It's okay.
He's alone again today.
You're right.
Hey, why are you alone?
You jerks. Don't you dare bully him again.
I'll teach you a lesson.
Where's the ugly dude?
You know that old guy.
-What? -The old guy.
-"The old guy"? -He isn't here today.
Why that...
You punks. I was the ugly dude?
It's easier for him to hold back when he sees injustice than to control his rage.
-And... -Get back here!
-This is our favorite random game... -This is our favorite random game...
Not long ago, when I was down about being unemployed,
my dad patted me on the back and comforted me.
It's hard being unemployed, right?
You're the best, Dad.
Still, the whole family's playing a game, so you should play too. You're it.
-Drum roll! -Drum roll!
Who elbowed me? It was you, wasn't it?
A game is just a game. Don't get the wrong idea.
He's pretty average, right?
What is...
your definition of "average"?
BLACK GARLIC TONIC
I didn't make much,
but please help yourself.
What do you mean?
I've never seen such a feast in my life.
Thank you. Please, enjoy your food.
-Let's dig in. -Okay.
Ma'am!
It tastes incredible! Can I eat all of it?
Well...
Seok. Those were for bibimbap.
My dad doesn't eat bibimbap without bracken.
I'll just have less rice.
Mom, isn't he totally decent?
He is.
He's totally decent.
That's my girl. Good job.
What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?
No, sir. Not at all.
Why would I be?
Silly boy.
Have some fruit.
Thank you.
It's okay, right?
-Shall we have a drink? -Yes, sir!
A man should drink to...
Your legs are like jelly.
He is a bit...
I have a question.
Yes, sir.
Why are you standing?
I thought you meant you wanted to go out.
Don't pick on him.
Well...
Pour me a glass.
Drink, drink, drink
-Honey... -The tall guy, Mr. Cho
How can you get drunk in front of the guest?
-Stop her. -How am I supposed to stop her?
Let's go for round two.
-Honey, let's go. -Round two?
-Seok. Ae-bong. -Yes?
Ma'am.
-We need to go for round two. -Are you okay?
Wait! Hold on!
-What? -Why?
Hold on.
-Round two is that way. -Hold on.
Hey, you. Seok.
Do you know
-how precious my Ae-bong is to me? -Ma'am!
She's precious to me as well.
-She is. -It's embarrassing.
-What are you doing? Dad. -Stop it.
Stop her.
I'm fine.
-I'll carry her to her room first. -Honey.
-Stop! -Yes?
Okay.
I like your personality.
I like your looks even more.
Thank you.
What the hell? You should've told me if you were going to put on an act.
I swear I really didn't know.
It is a very beautiful night.
You had too many beautiful nights.
You drank a lot.
-Let's go for round three. -Let's go.
Let's go! Round three!
-Come on. -Let's go.
-We have to go for round three. -That way.
-This way. -Do you know why?
Go on. Quickly.
-Gosh. -We're going to a karaoke!
It's only the first time for you, but it's the 3,000th time for me.
Well then.
Let's have another.
Yes, sir.
Be good to our daughter.
Yes, sir.
Dad likes it when people agree with him, especially when he's badmouthing people.
I was never good to Ae-bong.
I'm a loser.
Yes, that's right. A loser.
I feel bad whenever I think about Ae-bong.
I'm a terrible human being.
Yes. I think so too.
I deserve to be punished.
Yes. Being punished is not enough.
I'm garbage.
The most disgusting kind.
I'm an evil bastard.
Evil bastard...
What a nuisance...
I think her father badmouthed someone, and I think I did so too,
but I blacked out after that.
That scared me.
This is the last can.
-Did you get all the corners? -Yes.
Anyway. So?
Did Ae-bong's parents like you?
I'm not so sure.
I'm still scared of them and I still feel uncomfortable around them.
But Jun, how long do we have to do this?
It's a gift I got from my business trip to China.
Once we finish spraying this, you will be surprised.
Continue.
Hey.
What?
You're home alone and you have dried herring?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Finish up and go.
You're going like that? It's probably all over you.
Who cares? You can't see it.
Yeah, but you will once it gets dark.
You should shower and change first.
I can't!
If I'm even a little late, Ae-bong might eat everything.
I'll give you that.
Farewell then, Brother.
Seok. You didn't know about this, did you?
I'm your big brother, after all.
"Cho Jun is awesome."
-What's wrong? -Mommy. The green light is walking.
Did we just...
have a moment?
Here comes the popcorn.
-Have some. -Thanks.
Want to die?
No.
I want to live a long life with you.
Wise man.
Where did your parents go so suddenly?
My great aunt who lives in Yangpyeong has a wedding to attend in Seoul tomorrow.
So my parents are spending the night at her place to go to the wedding together.
So they are not coming home tonight.
That's right.
It was so uncomfortable when your parents were here.
Now that it's just us, I feel totally at home.
I'm full and my back is warm.
Right?
Didn't you know they were cutting off the water?
-What is that? -What is that?
Just stay here tonight.
Shit. Turn off the power.
I'll sneak out in the dark.
Wow. You're so smart.
Did you do this often?
There's no time for that. Go!
-What? -What's going on?
-Hey. Ae-bong. -Hey.
The power's out.
Hello, Auntie.
Hi. My dear Ae-bong.
She has no water, we have no power.
Talk about an energy crisis.
What was that thing?
That thing was Ae-bong's better half.
Ae-bong. What's wrong with him?
That was a special show for you, right?
Does he put on shows like that when you're alone?
Shit. How would I know? No one ever did that for me.
Honey! You should learn from Seok.
This.
It's important who joins your family.
I didn't get caught.
If I did, it would’ve been so awkward the next time we met.
I should wash up and sleep.
Right. Our power's out.
I'll just wash up.
Honey.
I hear something. Come here.
Seok?
Honey.
Seok's soul is leaving his body.
To hell.
It is going to hell.
Dear, Lord. My god.
Next up...
Doll Addiction.
They say addictions are more fearsome than the devil himself.
Gambling addiction.
Alcohol addiction.
Drug addiction.
My babies.
The most fearsome of them all is
the claw machine addiction.
-That was so good. -Right?
I can--
Look. A claw machine. Want to play?
I'm terrible at this.
It's no fun, since I never win.
What? Ms. Choi. Don't worry and just play.
If you can't get them, I'll get them all for you.
You're so cool.
I'm a claw machine master.
-I think I'm kind of good at this. -Give me one.
-No. -Just one.
-Let go. -Come on.
Shoot.
Mr. Cho. You didn't get any, right?
Why don't you take this one?
It's okay. Why would I take it?
I already have two of them right here.
Yes. You didn't get any,
so take it.
Did you rent this machine?
Don't you have any consideration for...
I'm sorry.
I did rent it.
Sorry.
Continue.
I'll do my best.
Cho Jun. Get it together.
Get it together.
Why can't you do this?
You can do it.
Yes.
Shit.
Okay. That's it. Just one more attempt.
All I have to do is give it a push.
What?
Shit. Money.
Shit. Damn it.
Hey, kid.
Can you guard this so no one plays it?
I'll get some change and be right back.
Then I'll give you 1,000 won.
Okay? Guard it.
Don't let anyone play. Okay?
Thanks a lot.
Bye.
Congratulations!
No.
No!
Who ordered jjajangmyeon and extra radish?
Jun?
Are you okay? You're only eating one bowl of jjajangmyeon because of your diet.
It pains me to watch you.
Are you done?
I'm leaving.
Seeing how you only ate one...
What's wrong? What is it?
What are you doing?
What are you doing? What's wrong with you?
I can get it.
His arm is super long!
Is that even possible?
I got it!
Jun, are you okay?
It was too...
What's wrong?
My watch!
Oh, no.
Sin.
Give me some money.
Goodbye.
Hey. But my watch!
I have a lot of deliveries to make.
Oh, no. What do I do?
Why won't it work?
Come on.
Hello, 119?
I need to request a rescue.
No. It isn't a person.
No. It isn't a cat either.
-It's a watch. Yes. A watch. -Want to play the claw machine?
It's stuck in a machine.
-Hello? -Is that thing real?
I really need a rescue.
It's not a prank.
You're right. That's a designer watch.
Isn't that like a million won?
It must be a special event.
An expensive watch surrounded by dolls? I'm posting this on social media.
This is awesome.
I want to try.
I'm going to try first.
-Awesome. -Let me try.
I want to go first.
Awesome.
Let me try first.
You go after.
What is it? Awesome.
Is that real?
That's a nice watch.
Look! Fire!
What the heck?
Let me try.
Just once.
Look. It's Kang Daniel from Wanna One.
-Kang Daniel? -Where?
Come quick.
That's right. I saw him.
I'll guard it.
-This? -Yes.
What? You play this too?
People these days who are addicted to claw machines are the most pathetic.
Let's just go.
This isn't just any old claw machine.
I saw a post online. There's an event going on
and one of the prizes is a designer watch.
For real?
Wow. You're right!
Your girlfriend's going to show off her skills this time
and get you a new watch.
Hey, but that...
It looks very familiar.
It must be because it was meant to be yours.
Now should I start...
Holy crap!
Can you really get it?
What the hell are you doing here?
I heard you didn't show up at work and people couldn't reach you. You were here?
Can you get it or not?
That watch
is mine.
Damn! I knew it looked familiar!
That... Dad got that expensive watch for you
when you got a job.
That's right.
I'm going to get that no matter what.
Ae-bong. I believe in you.
You can do it.
It's for real.
I got it.
Please.
I can't do it.
What do we do now?
Why are you crying?
Don't cry.
Shit. Damn it.
This just won't do.
Jun. Pick one.
Will you break the law or lose your expensive designer watch?
Gosh. There you go again.
Break what law?
-Why are you standing up? -Break the law.
Okay.
It's a claw machine. Let's play.
Okay.
It's out of order.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Okay.
Shit.
Thanks, Ae-bong.
You saved my watch.
Who are you thanking? I did all the work.
-Nothing happened. -Damn it.
My heart isn't strong enough
to break the law like this.
In that case, I do have an idea.
For many hours after that, we did anything and everything we could
to get Jun's expensive watch back.
We have no choice. I didn't want to go this far, but...
Honey.
Can you teach Ae-bong how to play this?
Who are you?
I feel sick.
Is it going well?
Sorry?
I wanted to get that too, but I ran out of coins.
I feel sick.
Give me my coat!
-See? Seok is so cool. -So cool.
Go on.
Why is it always me?
-Then what? Should I go again? -Yes, you go.
If I come up with the ideas and put it to action, what do you do?
He's your brother, not mine.
What? My brother?
Your brother?
Are we on different teams?
Stop it. That's enough.
You did all you could.
I can't
watch you two destroy yourselves.
-Jun-- -I...
will give up.
-Jun. -Jun.
What are you doing?
Are you out of your mind?
Mother's head?
-You crazy... -I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Mother.
Mother, your firstborn will get it together.
Jun! Where are you going?
-He has really lost his mind. -There he is.
Jun! What are you doing here?
Why are you on your knees?
Jun. This is just a manmade machine.
Get up.
If I don't see it to the end, then this will never end.
-What? -Guys, push me.
-What? -If I can't get my watch out,
I'll have to go in.
You can't go in there.
Come out. Come on.
Push me.
Push!
That's right, Seok.
To catch a tiger, you must go into a tiger den.
Seok. Push.
You think this will work?
There's no way.
Push.
-Shoulder. -Go on.
This won't work.
Push from here.
Push.
-Push. -Keep pushing.
-One, two, three. -One, two, three.
That actually worked.
It really did.
It did.
However, something unexpected happened.
Hey. Someone's coming. Hide.
Hide.
But... That man...
AGE: 29 UNEMPLOYED MAN WHO'S ON A MISSION TO
CONQUER THE NATION IN CLAW MACHINES
HAS WON MORE THAN 3000 DOLLS IN CLAW MACHINES
MADE MULTIPLE TV APPEARANCES
That man...
He's a claw machine legend.
He's a master among masters.
Great. It's over now.
My poor brother.
No. It's too soon to give up.
Let's have faith.
Yes.
What the... I haven't seen that doll before.
Is this doll the ultimate challenge?
Gosh.
No...
My babies.
My baby.
Should I go win more dolls?
Goodbye, troublesome family.
