You guys are watching...
Protagonist.
I slept well.
Last night, I had spicy noodles
with sweet and sour pork for dinner.
Then I ate jajangmyeon and palbochae for dessert.
But I'm still hungry. Should I eat something?
You lunatic.
Look at yourself.
Aren't you embarrassed?
Do you really have to nag so early in the morning?
It's the weekend.
You're nothing but a piece of trash.
Mom, how can you call me a piece of...
How can you call me a piece of trash?
It was coming from the TV. Hey, Dad.
That little...
Jerk.
Women are always the one that has to suffer.
-Those womanizers -Don't lie to me.
-You went to meet her. -are always the worst.
-No. You're mistaken. -Gosh.
He's a complete piece of trash.
I would rather trust my neighbor's dog
than trust a man.
-My goodness gracious. -How could you do that to me?
Why did she even go there?
My gosh.
-Oh, gosh. -Goodness.
You startled me.
Why were you standing there like that?
Trim these bean sprouts if you have nothing to do.
Gosh, men are all the same.
They sleep in every weekend and are so lazy.
Hurry up and trim these bean sprouts.
Okay, Mom. I mean, Dad.
Okay.
Gosh.
-You look a lot prettier like this. -Really?
When did you learn how to do this?
The young lady next door taught me.
I'm going to braid Yul-bong's hair next time.
My goodness. I have to say,
your hairstyle goes really well with your cardigan.
-Do you want to try it on? -Me?
It's an overfit cardigan,
so it won't be too tight.
Gosh, you look so great in pink.
My skin color may be a bit dark,
but I look very elegant.
Gosh, it's time to take my medicine.
Medicine? Are you sick?
No, your mother-in-law gave me nutritional supplements
before she went on her trip.
I lost so much weight after taking those.
They are really nice.
Gather around.
See? What did I tell you?
I told you that Dad's acting weird.
Aliens must have invaded the earth. I bet someone switched bodies with Dad.
Why? He seems fine to me.
The way he talks is much nicer than before.
It's more than just the way he talks.
Listen carefully.
I saw him writing down...
DERMATOLOGIST APPOINTMENT POEM WRITING DAY
...anniversary dates on the calendar.
I saw him look out the window
-and sing. -How nice.
Bean sprouts cost 500 won more.
-Really? -Five hundred won?
And he's always chitchatting
with the ladies living in our neighborhood.
Someone definitely switched bodies with Dad.
Exactly. He would never behave like that.
Look. He's looking at flowers again.
And he really enjoys looking at them. Look at him.
It's because he's lonely.
Lonely? My father-in-law?
No, I don't think so.
My dad meets up with his friends frequently.
And he's the chairman of the chicken association,
so he's really busy.
You're his son.
You didn't have to hit him.
-Are you okay, honey? -Yes.
He deserved that.
Raising children is pointless.
They only care about their own spouses.
They never care about their parents.
Have you guys heard of the term andropause depression?
-"Andropause"? -"Andropause"?
It's just like menopause.
Men also become lonely and lethargic
once they get old. But because men were taught that
they shouldn't cry and need to stay strong,
they are not able to talk about it with anyone.
They just suffer all by themselves
and end up feeling small.
Then they become sick
and once depression hits, things get worse.
They start getting bad ideas.
Bad ideas?
You need to be nice to your dad.
Men live all their lives providing for their family.
Then they end up
living a lonely life.
"Simone, can you hear the sound
of the leaves falling?"
My dad's not the type who gets lonely.
Plus, he's acting too weird to just think of it as depression.
Goodness.
And you call yourself his son.
Why did you hit him?
He deserved it.
All fathers-in-law care about their daughters-in-law.
So I should care about him just as much.
I'm going to cure his depression no matter what.
Why are you suddenly trying to be the best daughter-in-law?
It's scaring me.
It's none of your business.
You should care more about your own dad.
Gosh, you didn't have to
hit your own daughter in the head. Are you okay?
I'm going to cure him.
-Honey, did you enjoy your trip? -Are you okay?
-Gosh. -Was it fun?
Didn't you miss me?
What's wrong with you?
Did you do something wrong?
What are you talking about?
I cooked, did the laundry, and cleaned the entire house.
I'm just really glad
to see my wife in such a long time.
What did you get for me?
I knew it.
No wonder you cleaned the entire house.
You had an ulterior motive.
Gosh, that's not true.
I really did everything purely for you.
Are you crazy?
Why are you acting so weird?
I didn't buy anything for you.
I just bought some dried herbs to eat.
Herbs?
Oh, my.
Look at these. They are so nicely dried.
Gosh, it smells amazing.
I can tell by the strong scent that they are domestic.
Let's parboil these
and mix them with doenjang sauce.
-Honey. -Yes?
Are you okay?
Are you sick or something?
No, I'm completely fine.
My gosh. Goodness, I forgot to take my nutritional supplements again.
What's wrong with him?
SERAPHINE EFFECTIVE FOR MENOPAUSE
Did you take these?
Yes. Why?
They are the nutritional supplements you gave me.
Goodness, you took everything?
Yes, you told me to take three pills every day.
I took them diligently for the entire week while you were gone.
You fool. These are
hormonal pills for my menopause.
What?
My goodness, what am I going to do?
No.
I need to exercise to get all the estrogen out.
I'm a man.
I'm macho.
Here's your mail.
It's for me.
"We invite you as our hero."
My gosh, is he whom I think he is?
He's the father
of the most popular webtoon artist, Cho Seok.
Yes, you're right.
He's the legendary man
who gave Cho Seok
his superior DNA.
-He's today's star. -He's today's star.
He's the great Cho Cheol-wang,
the man who's greater than Cho Seok.
-He's today's star. -He's today's star.
Me?
For people like us who don't have a life,
he's someone to look up to.
Hey, wait.
What was that?
"Rule number one of being a hero.
The people around the hero talk about his life out loud."
My gosh.
We have the target on lock.
The star is on the move. Everyone, get a move on.
Move.
Is this really necessary?
Oh, right.
You don't know.
When you were living with your parents because of work after I gave birth to Yul,
your dad came to our place every day.
-Really? -Yes.
Father, I'm really okay.
You don't need to do anything.
Father.
Come on. You need to eat fruit to get better quickly.
Goodness.
Our feet are the smaller version of our entire body.
This part is connected to the heart.
This part is connected to the kidneys.
That's when I told myself
that I'll become his great supporter one day.
And I think now is that time.
Your dad lived his entire life just for his family.
And today, I'm going to make him
become the right forefoot
of Jangchung-dong's jokbal.
What? Jokbal?
I'm going to make everyone love him.
I'm going to turn him into a hero.
Father.
I'll get rid of the depression you have because of the mid-life crisis
and regain your dignity.
You just wait, Father.
Hey.
I'm talking to you,
the guy who's so good-looking
that George Clooney would even bow down to your handsome looks.
-Me? -Yes.
Your skin is as clear as Park Bo-gum's,
and you're as sexy as Jung Woo-sung.
I'm talking about you.
Hey, what did you just do to my friend?
"Rule number two of being a hero.
He is able to defeat bad guys
with just a single hand gesture."
Hey!
-Are you okay? -My gosh!
He's way too strong. He's invincible.
-Let's go. -Yes, let's go.
What was that?
Hello?
Yes, we succeeded. What about our pay?
I just wired it. Check your bank account.
How much did we get?
"Fifty thousand won"?
This is amazing.
What's all this about?
"The star."
Gosh, no way. I can't be...
Taxi.
Gosh.
"Rule number three of being a hero.
Everything stops the moment he shouts for it."
The flock of birds.
Airplane.
UFO.
I wonder who sent this.
Is someone watching me?
-What's this "star"? -Watch out!
-Are you okay? -Are you okay?
My gosh, this pendant saved this man.
There's a photo of the woman he loves.
Without this to protect his heart,
he might have died.
It wasn't my heart.
It hit my face.
"Rule number four of being a hero.
The pendant of the woman he loves
ends up saving his life."
The ball's too dangerous. Hit him with something else so he won't get hurt.
It's dangerous!
This pendant saved the star's life!
I don't want to be a star. I don't like this.
Stop it.
Thank you for your hard work, everyone.
Okay.
There's just one more thing left.
Lastly...
Fine, I'll be the star.
I don't know why this is happening to me.
But go ahead and bring it on!
I'm not scared of anything.
Let's all say goodbye.
-Good work. -Good work.
Good work.
Are you done making my dad become the star?
Yes, the pendant was the last step.
That was the finale.
I hope your dad enjoyed it.
I'm not sure about that.
The plot connection has no basis.
It's kind of like my webtoon.
Can I use this story for my next story, honey?
That will cost you a lot.
Then how about a large-sized Super Supreme pizza,
a cheeseburger, and some jokbal?
Sure.
Let's go inside.
I'm the hero, so let's take this to the end.
The rule of being a hero.
The hero never dies!
I will never die!
I'm a star.
Next up...
Limited Edition.
We're closed now.
The minimum wage of 2018 is 7,530 won.
Then it will cost me 10,000 won to use you for an hour. Am I right?
Here's 10,000 won.
I get paid 7,530 won for day shifts.
But for night shifts, I get paid 11,290 won.
And if you add the price for using both this facility
and my service, it will cost you...
I'll treat you with love, sir.
I was watching a movie at Tae-hui's place.
I sneaked out saying I had to go to the supermarket.
I'm a seriously busy person, okay?
What's bothering you?
You're dating her again?
Didn't I tell you?
What's stronger than being the perfect match?
It's great sex.
And what's stronger than a love-hate relationship?
It's the physical relationship.
-Hey, stop it. -Honey.
That's enough.
Stop it. I can't stop picturing...
Gosh.
This filthy world only cares about number one!
-What the... -What's the matter?
Ae-bong
has changed.
Her love for me has withered.
I'm no longer her number one.
You've become so weak after you became a dad.
Hey, do people get drunk from drinking fishcake soup?
I guess so.
What can I do?
I can't drink because Ae-bong doesn't want me smelling like alcohol in front of Yul.
I wanted to drink this and act drunk.
Mothers are incredible.
Back when I was a baby, my mommy would...
All she cares about these days is Yul-bong.
Ae-bong. Honey.
-Gosh, I'm tired. -You're home.
Ae-bong.
Yul-bong.
It's okay. Were you startled?
I can't hug her because she's busy with Yul-bong.
Are you okay?
BEEF BABY FOOD, FISH BABY FOOD MUSHROOM BABY FOOD, CHICKEN BABY FOOD
Are you looking for something?
No.
And the fridge is filled with baby food for Yul-bong.
What are you doing?
Why did you eat that?
I weighed that to make baby food for Yul-bong.
Gosh, you're so annoying.
She never cares about me.
She doesn't even spend time with me anymore.
You stupid bastard.
How can you be jealous
of your ten-month-old daughter?
You're seriously immature. Goodness...
Whatever. Bring me more fishcake soup.
I'm going to drink this and get wasted.
My gosh.
What's this?
I thought you weren't going to drink.
Gosh.
Hey, bring me more alcohol.
Bring me alcohol!
My gosh.
Wear what I prepared for you,
and meet me at the park.
Gosh, is this her way of starting a fight?
I shouldn't have drank.
Where did she go?
-I would rather have her hit me. -Honey.
This one should go here.
This game doesn't count!
What was that for?
It's all over the place.
Hey, why did you have to do that?
-Me? -Yes.
But it wasn't... No, it wasn't me.
-What are you talking about? -No, it wasn't me.
-You little punk. -I didn't do it.
-My gosh. -Mr. Kim.
-What am I going to do?
-Gosh, sir. -My goodness.
Someone, help.
Sir, are you okay?
What am I going to do?
I got you, you punk.
I was winning this game.
How dare you mess it up?
Where do you live? Who are you?
No, I didn't...
-You did this. -No.
Hey! Ae-bong!
You...
How dare you shout?
Ae-bong, that brat.
She's making me get really competitive. Where did she go?
There she is.
Hey, honey.
You're dead.
I hope you enjoy.
I can't believe this.
Hey, you can't...
-What do you think you're doing? -What do you mean?
What's your problem?
-Wait. -My gosh.
-Why did you do that to my noodles? -What are you doing?
-What is the matter with you? -My gosh.
What was that for?
I caught you!
You brat.
Hey, I'm going to put an end to this.
All I have to do is just take this off.
I advise you to stop.
No! I'm going to take this off! There we go.
-I'll take this off as well. -I warned you to stop.
No, I'm going to take everything off.
You better apologize before I take this off. I'm really going to do it.
-Please help me. -Stop right there!
Stop what you're doing!
No, you're mistaken.
-Come on. -Please hear me out.
-Gosh, seriously. -I'm so scared.
Ta-da. Did you have fun?
Gosh, what do you think?
I even went to the police station.
You showed my butt to everyone on the street.
You said you were sad that I no longer spent time with you.
What?
Why is he so drunk?
Apparently, he's seriously lonely
because you only care about
Yul-bong.
He must have felt upset because you're too focused on Yul-bong.
Men can be really childish.
Thanks for bringing him home.
Really? Then pay us for delivering your husband home.
Gosh, it's like you guys want me to beat you up.
-Seriously, let's go. -That hurts.
-Get out of here. -Okay.
-Leave. -Gosh.
Let me have one drink.
Is that why
you bullied me all day?
I didn't bully you.
I had fun with you just like back when we used to date.
You're the only person who had fun.
Come on. You had fun as well.
I even let you drink beer afterwards.
What a joke.
Did you really not have fun? Really? Seriously?
No, I mean...
I had a lot of fun today.
This beer tastes nice as well.
Right?
Here. I got you a gift.
A gift? For me?
Check what's inside.
You should wear that to your meeting tomorrow.
To be honest, I didn't really know what to do
after Yul-bong was born.
That's why I was more focused on her.
We've never taken care of a baby before.
I think that's why I ended up neglecting you.
I'm sorry.
It's only because I'm a rookie mom and wife.
So I hope you understand.
Okay.
How about you give me one more gift?
What gift?
How about a second child?
-Gosh, you punk. My goodness. -Tap!
-Do you give up? -Tap!
Of course, you give up.
Good luck with your meeting tomorrow.
Seok, you look great in that.
Apparently, that sweater's really popular these days.
It really looks good on you. You look really handsome.
Seok, what's wrong?
I think it's your first time telling me
that I look handsome ever since Yul was born.
I'm so touched.
Oh, I see. I'm sorry.
I'll say it more often from now on.
Instead, let's eat jokbal tonight.
Okay, let's have jokbal with buckwheat noodles.
Salute to my wife.
I'll work hard today.
Salute. You too, Yul. Salute to your dad.
Yul-bong, I'll see you after work.
-Yul. -See you.
Your dad looks really handsome, doesn't he?
You cutie pie.
This sweater must be really popular these days.
But then again, it's always best to go with what's popular.
Gosh, men must also wear matching outfits these days.
Mom, it's a monster!
KENTAUROS
Yes, I'll meet you after I eat lunch. Okay, bye.
Sin, give me one roll of gimbap.
Two rolls of tuna gimbap, please.
-Pardon? -Excuse me.
I'm the one who works here.
They are wearing the same clothes, so I thought it was a uniform.
Two rolls of gimbap, please.
-Two rolls? -Yes.
Yes, I bought the sweater from the website you told me about.
It looked so good on Seok.
THE MOST POPULAR ITEM NUMBER OF ITEMS SOLD: 201,458
Where did Ae-bong buy this sweater?
Everyone's wearing it.
It's like the most popular outfit.
Honey, don't forget to buy jokbal.
Okay, I won't forget.
I came to a famous restaurant, not the center of fashion.
I'll go somewhere else.
Protect our business area!
-Protect it! -He started protesting, sir.
It's a one-man protest.
So safely guide him to stop.
-And carry on with your duty. -Yes, sir.
Protect it!
Protect our business area!
-Protect it! -What?
Protect our business area!
-Why are there so many? -Protect it!
Protect it! Protect our business area!
It's not a one-man protest, sir. There's a huge group now.
It's suddenly turned into a group protest, sir.
We can't allow that. Arrest all of them.
-Okay, sir. -Protect our business area!
-Let's arrest the leader!
You need permission to hold a group protest.
You should know better.
Come on.
I was here to buy jokbal.
-Be quiet. -I was here to buy jokbal.
No, wait! Jokbal...
Honey.
Look. I got you a gift.
Gosh, no way. So many people are wearing that.
It's a limited edition.
There's no way that's a limited edition.
I'm never going to wear what other people wear anymore.
My gosh, take a look.
Ta-da.
It's Yul-bong.
I feel a lot more comfortable wearing this now.
I'm a dad. I'm a husband.
Hello.
Hi.
There he is. Thank you.
This is so pretty.
What's going on?
Everyone in our neighborhood's wearing the same sweater.
Well, I had to print more than 100 sweaters
in order to get a 50-percent discount.
So I gave it to everyone as a gift.
We didn't give out rice cake to celebrate Yul's 100th day.
Didn't I do a good job?
Yes, you did.
Hello. This is so pretty.
-Thank you for this. -Okay.
Gosh, the quality is really nice.
-Thank you for this. -Thank you.
-Thank you.
It's so nice to wear the same sweater.
-It's so cute. -Thank you.
It's so nice.
-The quality is great. -Thank you for this.
-Thank you. -Ae-bong!
-Thank you. -Thank you.
-It's so pretty.
It's so nice.
Goodbye, troublesome family.
