The Day After the Break-up.
Look.
I said I don't want to see you.
Why do you keep calling?
Seriously.
I'm so popular.
Too popular!
Please, give me her number.
I need to see Ae-bong.
No.
Why do you think she changed her number?
Because she doesn't want to see you.
I know,
but I need to talk to her.
You're wasting your time.
Friendship between girls is rock solid.
Do you know what #1007# is?
That's the code to Bu-wuk's apartment.
What do you take me for?
He just moved out and got his own place.
It's 010-801-1092.
Just a minute. My phone...
Where...
Hey.
What?
-Where's my phone? -BTS is in Gangnam?
Where?
-Where did I put it? -Apgujeong?
-Tae-hui-- -Okay!
What's after 010... Wait.
Tae-hui.
-What came after 010-801? -I said 1092.
-Let go! BTS is in Gangnam! -But...
-Wait. My phone... -Wait!
It's 801-1092.
-It's 801-1092. -What? Which bus?
-Okay. 801-1092. -Oh, 3815?
-Is it 3825? -It's 3825...
Is it 3815 or 3825?
-It's 15? -Come on!
Okay, 25.
-I'm sorry. -I'm sorry.
-Are you okay? -Yes, I'm fine.
-Sorry. -I'm so sorry,
but do you have a pen and paper?
Yes, I do have a pen.
-Thank you. -But I don't have paper.
Will tissues work?
Yes, that would be great. Thank you.
Here you go.
I'll hold it for you.
Thank you.
It was 801-1092.
Let me take this much.
Sure.
Here you go.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Yes. I got it.
I need to poop.
Can I have some toilet...
Her number is 801-1092.
It's 801...
-and 1092. -Which bus?
-We have to take bus 109. -No, it's 107.
-It's 105. -It's 107.
-It's 105. -It's 1807... What?
I ended up in Ssangmun-dong because of you.
Is it 3815 or 3825?
Say it clearly. Is it 15 or 25?
Which is it?
Eight...
-Is it 80 or 82? -Say it more clearly.
-Call us at 807-8082. -What, 8082?
We buy old computers, electronics, everything.
-It's 107. -License plate 2809!
-Move your car, 2809! -Move! 2809!
It's 105.
Is it 104 or 105?
Which is it?
-It's 105. -It's 107.
-It's 105. -Is it 109 or 105 or what?
It is 107.
I forgot.
It's 107.
-Which one is it? -Shit! I forgot!
Didn't Seok call?
Did you give him my number?
No!
-Yes. -Hey!
Hey!
What? You said you met him. Didn't you?
Well, he kept annoying me.
I had to go see BTS.
And I felt bad for him because he looked terrible.
He looked terrible.
Are you okay?
The coffee tastes okay.
Not the coffee. You.
Will you really be okay?
Yes. Tell us.
Why did you break up?
It just happened.
Let's order pizza and chicken.
Where should we order from?
Okay.
If we buy one, this place gives another one for free.
Brats. How could they leave so much precious food behind?
Come on, Ae-bong.
You're angry.
Don't be like that.
I was just teasing you because I thought
it was really cute of you to prepare all this.
It's not because of you.
It's just because
I feel pathetic.
Why? What do you mean?
Did your parents say something again?
They said if I'm not going to get a job,
I should just marry you.
"Marry"?
I know you don't want to.
You said promises and responsibilities are difficult.
Hey. That was--
I'm not blaming you.
It's not an easy decision.
I don't know anymore.
I don't know what I want to do.
So...
I want to start over and think about it without you in the picture.
How I, Choi Ae-bong,
can become happy.
My goodness.
I knew it.
You said you were okay, but...
Here. Have some food. You acting like that won't bring Ae-bong back.
Yes. That's why we bought something you really like.
-Sushi. -This is expensive.
And... Ta-da!
Shrimp tempura.
Here. Eat up.
Chin up, man.
Too bad you have shrimp allergies. Otherwise, we could eat together.
Poor you.
It's so yummy.
Why did you buy shrimp tempura?
He has shrimp allergies so he can't have them.
-He does? -Yes.
See? He can't even...
What do you mean? He's eating it.
Does he not have allergies anymore? I swear he had allergies before.
Goodness. You seriously scared me.
I asked my mommy before I bought these.
-I swear, he's allergic-- -What?
Seok!
Hi, Bu-wuk.
I'm at the hospital now.
I'm sorry, sir.
We had to go to work, so we left Seok at the hospital.
It's okay. You should get to work.
But why in the world did he eat shrimp?
His face must be a mess.
What?
A balloon?
Okay. Thanks.
Mr. Yoo Ho-seok.
Please wait here. The caregiver will be here soon.
You have to listen to him for your face to heal quickly. Okay?
-Okay. -Okay. Please wait there.
Okay.
Are you Seok?
You're Seok, right?
NAME: YOO HO-SEOK
My gosh.
I heard your face swelled up like a balloon.
I didn't know he meant your body swelled up too.
Why did you eat the shrimp?
SHRIMP? I DIDN'T
Let's go home.
You're allergic to shrimp poop, so clean it out well before eating them.
Okay.
The injection room is that way.
Thank you.
Hi, Tae-hui.
Seok had an allergic reaction to shrimp
-and was rushed to the hospital. -What?
Why did he eat shrimp? He knows he's allergic.
Okay.
Dang it.
Get it together, Ae-bong.
You dumped him.
You pushed Seok away.
You have no right to worry about him.
Okay. It's nice being home, right?
WHERE ARE WE?
There's no place like home.
What?
My gosh. You can't even talk properly.
Okay. Since you took your medicine, take a nap.
You need to rest.
I said, rest.
THAT'S NOT IT.
Don't go to the workroom.
Just rest here. You're home.
Seriously!
Do as I say! Listen to me!
You need to rest to get better!
You little...
DAD
I heard you're at the hospital. What happened?
It's because of the poop.
How did I know there would be poop in the shrimp tempura?
It's because of the poop.
They said to clean it all off, but there was too much.
Poop?
I'll wipe your poop.
You said there's a lot.
-I'll do it. -I didn't poop.
I didn't poop.
No!
I didn't poop.
-I didn't poop. -Stay still!
I'm your dad. It's okay.
It's fine.
My gosh.
I used to wipe your poop when you were a baby.
It's okay. Why are you crying?
My baby.
Now that you're all grown up, you're moved by my touch.
How does that feel? It's refreshing, right?
I'm not your son!
-Gosh. -Seok!
Seok!
Hey.
Hi, Ae-bong.
Seok ate shrimp.
Seok... Is that Seok?
What do you mean?
It's because he's swollen.
He isn't Seok.
What do you mean he isn't Seok?
Seok smells like beef and radish soup.
Where did he go in that condition?
Seok!
Why is she talking about soup? He smells like...
You're Seok, right?
-Yes. -See?
It can't be.
Who are you?
Yoo Ho-seok.
Why are you here?
You dragged me here.
Then...
Where did he go?
I smell Seok.
I smell Ae-bong.
Seok.
Don't come closer.
I'm very angry
right now.
Because you dumped me
without even listening to me.
I didn't know
that you were having such a hard time.
And yet,
I thought
you would always be by my side without a doubt.
I was so stupid.
I didn't know how you felt.
I'm so sorry...
that my heart aches.
I love you.
I realized that
I've been happy because of you.
Because we laughed together,
cried together
and fought together.
All of that
made me happy because I was with you.
That's why I wanted to be with you.
I was stupid.
The way
for me to be happy,
what I'm the best at,
what I want to do the most...
That...
is just what I've been doing.
Loving you.
You liar.
You threw me away.
That's why I came to pick you back up.
Don't regret it.
I won't lose you again.
I love you.
-But Seok... -Yes?
Why did you eat the shrimp?
Well...
I remembered how much you loved it.
You stupid idiot!
Why did you eat that? You could've died!
You could've died!
That hurts. Stop hitting me.
Why isn't Seok answering his phone?
Come with us.
No. I really thought he was my son.
He said he had poop in his butt--
My butt!
You pervert!
-I told you, I am not. -You pervert!
I'm not a pervert.
Let's talk at the station.
What? No.
Should I guess what that is?
Macarons from the cafe by my house.
A doll from the claw machine place we always go to. Right?
Right?
How did you...
Were you following me?
Not exactly.
It's just that
I smelled beef and radish soup.
What's that? Beef and radish soup?
Seok, I'm hungry.
Buy me tteokbokki, pork cutlets, and sweet and sour pork.
I'm unemployed.
Why should I pay? You always eat more.
What--
That's for the food. Okay?
What...
That was too cheap.
Pay a little more.
Pay a little more, Ae-bong.
Seok, it's that way!
Ae-bong!
Next up...
Meet the Chos and Chois.
Mom. What is this?
I paid at the supermarket,
I did the shopping, and I'm carrying everything.
Who gave birth to you?
Obviously, you did. Ma'am.
And...
I raised you as well.
But now you're getting worked up because you spent some money?
You punk.
You bastard.
Stop eating already. That's your fifth already.
You shouldn't bother someone who's eating.
It's because you're eating like a pig.
You eat because you broke up and you eat because you got back together...
You pig. Oink.
-Stop that. -You
brat. You eat more than your dad.
-Hey, Seok! -Ae-bong.
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, my.
Hello. It's nice to meet you, ma'am.
I'm Seok's mom.
Hello.
I've heard a lot about you.
I've been meaning to set a date for us to meet.
But here we are.
Actually, even this is fate.
Why don't we have some tea?
Sure, that sounds good too,
but that seems a bit demeaning.
Let's set up a date to have a meal together.
We abide by the Three Bonds and Five Relationships of Confucianism.
I see.
What do you mean? We don't--
That sounds good.
Our family
abides by benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom.
I see.
What's that?
Mom! We'll be late. Hurry up!
Coming.
Mom. Are you going to perform an exorcism?
What do you mean?
I need to dress like this so she won't think of me as a laughing stock.
Who would laugh at you? You look really scary.
What? I don't look scary.
You're so tacky and clueless.
What's wrong?
The fur...
Where's Dad?
He's stopping by somewhere
and Jun is coming straight from work.
-Okay. -Let's go.
You're really going like that?
That hurts!
Expensive things are always better.
I look like a classy, serious man.
The cologne smells good too.
Hello.
Are you expecting anyone else?
We have a reservation. Cho Seok.
I see. Let me escort you to the room.
Excuse me.
I have a reservation under the name, Cho Seok.
Yes.
I've heard a lot about you from Seok.
We finally meet.
You're right.
Gosh.
Hold me up properly.
Gosh.
You punk. Let go.
Gosh.
Oh, my.
Gosh.
Hello.
Is she trying to intimidate me with a dress?
A fur coat?
How tacky.
Ma'am.
You look very beautiful today.
So do you.
You stand out very much.
Well...
So hot.
Well...
Let's go in.
-What? -Okay?
Ae-bong.
-Mom. Let's go. -Mom.
-What? -Your back must be cold.
Come on.
Let go.
Walk properly.
Isn't there a worker? I made reservations.
There are plenty of empty tables, so let's just sit.
Okay.
Dad, you're sweating.
Take off the hat.
It's fashion.
The heater seems to work well here.
Let me open the window.
Sure.
My hat!
My hat. Dang it.
What's going on?
Well...
Oh, dear. How did that happen?
I'll get it for you.
No, it's fine. I'll get it.
I was in the marines.
A real man should do things like this.
-Step aside. -I can do it too.
I said I can do it.
Slowly.
Don't touch me.
The marine will do it.
Don't touch me.
Hold on tight.
-I will-- -Don't stick to me.
I'll take care of it.
The window.
What...
-Open it. -It won't open.
-What? Pull harder. -Jun.
-What's wrong?
Jun!
Young man.
Jun.
Dad. Are you okay? What are you doing?
Hold the window open, so it doesn't close.
-Okay. -Don't touch me.
-I'll get it. -Okay.
I want to help.
Almost there.
I got it.
-Oh, no! -What now?
My gosh. What now?
My goodness. It fell.
-Oh, no. -Why are you out here?
I told you to hold the window.
Why did you come out?
The window closed again.
How do I...
Hold on.
-Open it. -It won't open from the outside.
What's this?
Excuse me.
Do you think this meeting will go smoothly?
I have a bad feeling.
What is wrong with them?
Hey, you don't feel like dying right now, do you?
No.
Then we need to go back inside right now. Let's go.
My gosh.
Look at the child's artwork.
The child must have artistic talent,
just like our Seok.
You know, Seok takes after me.
My childhood dream was to become an artist.
Really? It was?
Actually, when I was in school,
I was pretty good in art class as well.
I almost went to study in France,
but I met Ae-bong's dad, so...
I see. France.
Yes, France.
That painting is quite impressive.
For a painting done by a child, the color scheme is very...
That child could go to Hongik University with talent like that.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ART CONTEST
It really stands out.
-Hey, Seok. -Yes?
Look at that painting.
The owner's daughter's painted it. Isn't it so nice?
Mom. That's The Scream.
What?
The daughter's name is "Scream"?
What...
What a funny name.
No. That's The Scream by the artist Munch.
Mink?
Is something wrong with my mink?
Why? It's pretty.
-What's wrong with my mink? -It's pretty.
-Is it weird? -It's beautiful.
Gosh.
I don't think they hear us.
Is there anything we can do?
Based on my experience in the marines,
we can make a rope with our clothes and climb down.
Good idea.
This should be long enough, right?
This can't get wrinkled.
Let's throw it.
Hey!
You stupid fool.
What now?
It's cold, and it's getting colder.
I'm sorry.
Should I sing you a song to help fight the cold?
That's not necessary.
My hands are cold, cold My feet are cold, cold
Because of the winter breeze Cold, cold, cold
My hands are cold, cold, cold My feet are cold, cold, cold
Because of the winter breeze
It's cold.
-Why did you hit me? -Then what? Should I hit Ae-bong's dad?
You have a point.
Where does it come from
The breeze
They must be running very late.
Why don't we start eating?
Yes, I think we should.
Ae-bong, let's eat.
Thank you.
This is on the house.
Don't you have makgeolli instead of wine?
That's all my mom drinks--
Wine's nice.
My husband and I
often have a glass at a sky lounge.
You enjoy wine too, don't you?
No. My mom only drinks soju bombs and--
Eat.
Enjoy.
I only drink French wines.
I knew it. I could tell we have similar taste.
Would you like a glass?
Okay.
Let me.
-Okay. -Cheers.
Where did they go?
I don't know. We have a lot to do. Let's go.
Okay.
Why did we all leave our phones inside?
What about a human ladder?
-What? -The first person hangs onto the ledge.
The next person climbs down and hangs on.
Then we may reach the ground.
You're right.
Let's give it a shot.
Who will hang on first?
My gosh.
-It's so hot. -Mom.
What's with this fur? It's so annoying.
I can't do this either.
This stupid dress.
I can't breathe.
That's so much better.
That's nice.
You know,
my husband...
Because of my husband...
My life was completely ruined
-Mom. -What?
-That's right. -What? Did I say something wrong?
Just let her be.
Do you kids know how hard it is for us?
-They don't. -These days,
in our house there is...
The big Cho.
The small Cho.
And
the baby Cho.
The three Chos.
These annoying bastards. I'm sick of them.
They make me sick.
I can't stand them.
-They disgust me. -Mom... Please.
-The kids are such a pain in the ass. -Mom.
-Stop it. Okay. -Shut up.
Seriously!
The annoying jerk that I live with...
He acts all tough and thinks he is some kind of big shot at home.
He's such a phony.
But when you get to know him, you realize
He's a total coward
I'll go.
I'm going.
I'm going now.
Don't you push me.
Our big Cho is so unbelievably wicked.
He causes so much trouble behind my back.
I'm going.
Don't push me. You pushed me.
-I didn't push. -I was pushed.
I didn't.
They're useless. All of them.
Mom.
-Enough. -So darn annoying.
Excuse me. The other customers are complaining about the noise.
-I'm sorry. -Who?
Who was it?
-You? -Bring them.
-No. Sorry. Mom. -What?
-Mr. Kim. This isn't right. -Don't do this.
Now what?
I don't know.
But what is this smell?
It smells kind of sweet.
Well...
I'm wearing cologne. It's nice, isn't it?
It is nice.
What's that? That isn't a fly.
What is that?
It's a bee.
-Oh, my gosh! Dad! -A bee?
-Hey. -Hey! Dad!
Don't push me.
Dad!
Thank you.
This way.
I'm so sorry.
Everything is ruined because my husband didn't show up.
Sorry.
It's fine.
-My husband didn't come either. -Where is this bastard?
-Gosh. -Oh, my gosh!
Father!
Oh, my gosh. Honey!
You finally came. Where were you?
Hey, my husband is here.
Hello.
I'm sorry,
but my husband and oldest son haven't come yet.
-Oh, my gosh. -Dad.
Oh, my. Honey.
You got here just in time.
This is Ae-bong's mom.
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
Hello.
From now on, she is my little sister.
-Ae-bong. -Hey.
How about some grilled eel and soju?
Okay. Honey. Oh, my.
When did you put on matching shirts?
They are pretty.
How pretty. We should get a pair too.
-I'll buy it for you. -Let's go. Honey, come on.
-Mr. Cho. -Come on.
-We should go too. -Let's go.
Okay.
Dad... What happened?
-Dad. -Dad.
-It's pink this time! -It's skin color!
-Do something! -What...
-Do something! -What happened?
Okay. Let's go.
But...
How could he walk so proudly wearing that?
Jun!
Last night...
My apologies for last night.
I guess we really did drink a little too much last night.
I can't remember a single thing. Not a thing.
-You don't? -No.
Me neither.
I couldn't remember a single thing, either.
Oh, my.
This scent
is so soothing.
The scent is very elegant,
just like us.
Goodbye, troublesome family.
