(Sohyun-dong Singing Contest)
Come and buy my flowers
On the Hong Kong street at night
The young lady sells flowers as she waits for her man
If you buy the flowers on their own
I want to pee.
Bok Shil.
Oh, if only you were
The first love I yearn for
Tonight again, the young lady dreams
On the streets of Hong Kong
Applause!
Choon Ja. Choon Ja.
Choon Ja.
Goodbye!
I wish he'd let me sing.
Jeong Woo, let's go.
Jeong Woo.
(Sohyun-dong Singing Contest)
Jeong Woo.
Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo.
What?
Grandma, did Jeong Woo come home?
Why are you looking for him here?
You left with him.
He's gone, Grandma.
He's gone? What do you mean?
I looked everywhere and I can't find him.
Are you saying you lost him?
Mom, Bok Shil lost Jeong Woo.
What are you talking about?
Mom.
Stop crying and talk.
Where's Jeong Woo?
What do you mean he's gone?
I took him to see the singing contest...
and he disappeared.
Why did you take him there?
When did he go missing?
I don't know. I noticed he'd gone after the contest ended.
How can you say you don't know?
What were you doing that you didn't even notice he'd gone?
- You fool. - Let's look for Jeong Woo first.
Yes, you do that, Ok Boon.
Oh, dear.
Stop crying and go back and look where you lost him.
Come on, Sang Man.
Can't you give me the money?
I can't.
I'll give the money directly to your wife.
Come on.
Bok Shil, why are you crying?
Jeong Woo.
Sang Man, what was that about?
I don't know. Ma'am.
I'm glad to see you.
Help us look for Jeong Woo.
What?
Bok Shil took him to see the singing contest...
and lost him there.
What?
Come with me.
No, no.
We'll look for him. You stay at home.
Jeong Woo might come home.
Yes, he's right. Do that.
My goodness.
- Dad, you're home. - Hi.
Ma'am, is Bok Shil back?
Did you see Jeong Woo?
No. Why?
What happened to him?
- Jeong Woo! - Jeong Woo!
- Jeong Woo. - Jeong Woo.
Jeong Woo. You go that way.
- Okay. Jeong Woo. - Okay. Jeong Woo.
Jeong Woo!
Oh, dear.
- Jeong Woo! - Jeong Woo!
Jeong Woo!
- Jeong Woo! - Jeong Woo!
Where did the kid go?
Jeong Woo!
- Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo. - Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo.
- Go that way. - Okay.
- Jeong Woo! - Jeong Woo!
- Jeong Woo. - Jeong Woo.
Jeong Woo.
Bok Shil.
Jeong Woo's missing.
Wasn't he watching the singing with you?
You were there too.
I left early because it was boring.
Jeong Woo was still there then.
You should've taken Jeong Woo with you.
Did I know he'd go missing?
Where was the contest held? Let's go and look there.
It was held over there.
Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo.
Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo...
Mom.
Mom...
Jeong Woo.
Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo.
What happened? Jeong Woo.
What happened to you?
Wake up. My poor baby.
What should I do?
Jeong Woo! Jeong Woo!
Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo.
- Jeong Woo. - Mom.
What happened to you?
- Mom. - What should I do?
- Put him on my back. - Okay.
Jeong Woo. Jeong Woo.
How is my son, doctor?
Is he okay? Will he be okay?
We administered first-aid but it doesn't look good.
What? What do you mean?
The fracture is really bad. He needs surgery immediately.
Be prepared.
Surgery? Doctor. Doctor.
Doctor.
- Gosh. - Oh dear.
Kids disappear just like that.
Even so, how could he just...
- What should we do? - Grandma.
- Gosh. - We found him.
- Did you? - Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you, my goodness.
- Thank you, my goodness. - My goodness.
Where is he, then? Why are you on your own?
Is Jeong Woo with your mom?
Grandma.
What? Do you have something to say?
Jeong Woo needs surgery.
- What now? - What's the matter?
- Oh, dear. - Oh, no.
Surgery? Where and how bad is he hurt?
It's his leg.
Oh, no.
Is he badly hurt?
How bad is he hurt?
Oh, dear.
If he needs surgery, then he must be badly hurt.
Where is he now?
At a hospital with Mom.
I came over to tell Grandma that we found him.
Lead the way. Let's go.
Grandma, Mom wants you to stay home tonight.
I think you should do that.
Do that, ma'am.
There's nothing you can do even if you go there now.
You'll just make your daughter-in-law worried.
- Lead the way. Let's go. - Grandma.
- Sang Man. - I'll come with you.
Oh, dear.
Please, doctor. Please operate on him.
You need to pay for it first.
We can't do anything until then.
Things don't look good.
We must operate soon, so hurry.
Doctor, put your patient first.
Save the kid.
I'll get the money somehow.
Can't you please operate first?
- I'm sorry. - Doctor.
Doctor. Doctor...
- Ok Boon. - Ms. Lee.
What should I do about Jeong Woo?
He needs surgery right away.
What should I do, Mother?
What should I do?
What can we do?
Kyung Ho, is your mom not back yet?
No.
Did you just eat dinner?
Yes.
Dinner was late because we were looking for Jeong Woo.
Choon Ja wouldn't stop whining that she was starving.
So we had some dinner.
You're much better than...
10 wives who can cook.
My wife...
is starving her own husband and son...
so she could go to the hospital.
Kyung Ho, you haven't eaten, have you?
I have some leftover rice. Would you like to eat?
Shall we?
I'll eat when Mom comes back.
Leave it, Sang Man.
I'll eat when my wife's back.
Okay, then. I was so worried,
I didn't eat much myself.
Oh, dear.
You're back at last.
Oh, dear.
How is the boy?
Don't even ask.
He needs surgery right away and that's a problem.
His family can't afford the operation.
I know.
They can't even afford to send a son to school.
Ok Boon clung onto the doctor's arm...
and begged for him to operate.
I felt so bad I could barely watch.
The young doctor was really cold.
Ok Boon begged and he pushed her away to walk off.
He broke my heart, the evil man.
Is the operation expensive?
Jeong Woo's so badly hurt...
that the surgery's a tough one.
That's terrible.
It is. I went over because I was...
worried about Jeong Woo and his mom,
and now I feel even worse.
Oh, dear.
How much does the surgery cost?
Why? Will you pay for it if you know?
With what money?
There's nothing I can do but show my concern.
Where can they get the money when...
they can't even send a kid to school?
I know.
I feel so sorry for them.
Hang on.
You haven't eaten yet because we were out. I'll set the table.
Honey, darling.
What?
You know...
The money I got for playing at the singing contest.
What about it?
My goodness, you fool.
You got paid just today and you're thinking of spending it already?
- It's not like that. - You idiot.
- That's not what I mean. - Forget it.
Then what do you mean?
I thought about Jeong Woo.
I was wondering if we should help pay for the surgery.
My goodness. You didn't make that much.
What difference would it make?
If I could just place...
a few good bets,
I could make a few times this much.
I knew you'd get that idea.
I just can't trust you.
It's just a figure of speech.
I felt sorry for that family's plight.
I just want to help however I can.
You want to help them?
You think you can say anything because you can.
Do you think I'll believe you?
Your fingers itch because you want to gamble.
No, I was just saying that.
I just can't discuss anything with you.
What should I do with that fool?
How am I to live with him?
Rice cakes for sale.
Mister, I need money for surgery.
I'll pay you right back. Can you lend me money?
Money? I don't have any.
- I don't. - Please.
Go away.
- Oh dear. - Vegetables for sale.
Ma'am, I need money to pay for my son's surgery.
Can you lend me some?
No, I'm barely making any sales.
- What should I do? - Vegetables.
- Vegetables. - Help me out.
Lend me some money. I'll pay you right back.
I don't have any money.
- I don't. - My son could die.
Get lost.
- Buy some vegetables. - Where can I go?
Buy some rice cakes.
Ma'am, my son might die.
I can save him if I have just a little more money.
What's wrong with you? I don't have any money.
- Did you leave me some? - Give me a loan.
Leave me alone.
Jeong Hoon, is Jeong Woo asleep?
He was given a shot, so be quiet.
Where's Mom? Why isn't he getting his operation?
- Mom. - Ok Boon.
How did it go? The money.
Did you get enough?
What should we do?
I just can't get it from anywhere.
What should we do about Jeong Woo?
What should we do?
I failed to take care of my youngest grandchild.
Oh, dear...
Poor Ok Boon.
She won't be able to afford the surgery.
(Land Register)
Oh, dear.
Hang in there.
Be strong, Jeong Woo.
It's okay.
We have to take him into surgery.
- What? - What?
Excuse us.
But...
What... Ok Boon.
How come...
Doctor. Doctor.
What happened?
Mr. Kim.
I paid for the surgery. Don't worry.
My goodness. Mr. Kim.
Thank you so much.
I won't forget what you did for us.
Don't say that, ma'am.
You don't owe me.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Mr. Kim.
Sure.
Thanks so much. Thank you.
(Operation Room)
(Restricted Area)
Doctor.
Did the surgery go well?
The surgery went well, but the injury was widespread.
He might be crippled in one leg.
What?
What did you just say? He'll be crippled?
Crippled?
- Grandma. - Grandma!
- Grandma. - Oh, dear.
- Grandma. - Grandma.
- No, Jeong Woo... - Grandma.
- Grandma. - Grandma.
- Jeong Woo. - Grandma.
My poor Jeong Woo.
Oh, dear... Oh, dear...
What now?
No... Jeong Woo...
Mom, is Jeong Woo asleep?
Come outside.
Why? I'm worried about Jeong Woo.
If you're that worried, you shouldn't have lost him.
You lost him and that's why he got hurt and needed surgery.
I didn't lose him on purpose.
Be quiet.
Jeong Tae says it's my fault Jeong Woo got hurt.
Why did you take him to a crowded place...
and let this happen?
- Mom. - How distracted were you...
that you didn't notice he was missing?
Ok Boon.
Why are you upset with me?
I didn't do it on purpose.
You don't deserve to cry. Stop this instant.
Why are you scolding me?
I didn't let Jeong Woo get hurt on purpose.
Why take it out on me?
You'll wake Jeong Woo. Go to your room.
Do you hate me that much?
Why are you angry with me?
If you hate me that much, send me to Dad.
I'll go to Dad!
Oh, well.
Dad...
Dad.
Where is she going with that bundle?
Dad.
Mister, how do I get to Gangwon Province?
Gangwon Province?
You want to go there alone?
Yes.
Oh, dear.
Dad.
Ma'am, how do I get to Gangwon Province?
That's so far away from here.
You can't go.
Dad.
Why were you so harsh on Bok Shil?
She was just worried for her brother.
I don't know why I'm like this.
I don't want to get upset,
but whenever I see Jeong Woo, I get angry at Bok Shil.
Don't be like that.
You shouldn't feel like that about your own kids.
Bok Shil.
Bok Shil?
Bok Shil.
Where...
Have you seen Bok Shil?
What's wrong? Is she not in her room?
Bok Shil.
Jeong Hoon.
Choon Ja, did you see Bok Shil?
No.
- Kyung Ho, did you? - No, I didn't.
Are you looking for Bok Shil?
Did you see her?
I saw her a while ago with a bundle.
What?
I thought you'd sent her on an errand.
You didn't know she left?
Where on earth did she go?
Bok Shil.
Mal Soon.
Did Bok Shil leave with a bundle?
- Yes. - The look on her face tells...
she left without saying.
I guess so.
Kyung Ho, where are you going?
To find Bok Shil.
I'll come too.
Dad.
Ma'am.
How do I get to Gangwon Province?
I don't know.
Dad.
Mister, how can I get to Gangwon...
Dad.
Who are you? Why are you here?
You can't be out here. It's almost time for the curfew.
Where do you live? I'll take you home.
I won't go home.
You don't have one?
You must live somewhere.
Let me see. I saw you somewhere.
Don't you live in the house opposite Mr. Kim's?
Get up, I'll take you home.
Let go of me.
I'll go to my dad.
Where is he?
My dad went to Gangwon Province to work.
Let me take you home tonight.
- Let go of me. - Come along.
Let me go.
- Mother. - Ok Boon.
Is she not home yet?
She talked about going to her dad.
I guess she went and got into trouble.
Oh, dear.
Jeong Hoon, let's go and look again.
It's time for the curfew soon. Where are we to find her?
Let go of me.
- Mom. - Let go.
- My goodness. - Let me go.
Officer Song found her, ma'am.
- Doesn't she live here? - She does.
Why did you upset your family?
We looked everywhere for you.
- I'm going to Dad. - Bok Shil.
Officer Song, if you hadn't found her,
her mom and grandmother would've been so worried.
I remembered seeing her when I came to ask about spies.
Hello, ma'am.
You said your husband was in Gangwon Province.
Is he still there?
Yes.
Bok Shil, come inside.
- I don't want to. - Come inside.
Let go of me.
I have to go now.
Mr. Kim, see you around.
Thanks so much, officer.
Kids, let's go inside, it's late.
Go in your room.
You hate me.
Why won't you let me go to Dad?
Go into your room.
Do as Mom say.
Ok Boon, let's talk.
Sit down.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I should've talked to Bok Shil.
I let my emotions take over.
You did.
You should look after your kids and calm them down.
What if she goes off to find her dad again?
When I saw...
the officer bring her over,
my heart sank.
It won't happen again. I'm sorry.
Her dad favored her...
because she was his only daughter.
That's why she misses him more.
You won't like hearing me say this,
but I feel like I'm walking on thorns every day.
I nagged...
and told him to go and get his sister.
That's why he went up north and lost contact.
We fled Busan in a hurry in case...
people talked about how we came from the north.
And then...
I lost the bag with all our assets.
Mother.
What did the kids do?
They knew nothing about...
poverty or struggles.
Now they live here...
and barely eat properly.
Jeong Tae can no longer go to school...
and the youngest, poor Jeong Woo...
will be crippled forever.
What did they do to deserve this?
What right do we have...
to scold them?
It's all my fault.
When will...
we hear from your husband?
We need him back...
if the kids are to get back on their own feet.
Oh, dear...
Ma'am.
Ma'am, it's me.
- Isn't that Kim? - What?
What are you doing here?
How did you find us?
I got your address from the place...
I meant to meet your son.
Where's my husband?
Have you heard from him?
He's...
Go on, tell us.
Have you heard from him?
Your son went missing...
in the north, ma'am.
He went missing?
What do you mean?
He... He what?
Give us some details.
How did he go missing?
I met with...
the man who returned after going north with him.
They scattered after a bomb exploded nearby...
and no one has seen him since.
What do you mean no one saw him? How is that possible?
What about his sister Soon Ae? Did he get to see her?
I'm not sure about that.
The man said they'd agreed to return together,
but he didn't show up at the meeting place.
What?
Ok Boon, what do you think happened?
What happened? Ok Boon.
Kim, how come...
Oh, dear.
What should we do now? What should we do?
Son, where are you?
Son...
What should we do, Ok Boon?
How could this happen to us?
I can't live without him.
- Ok Boon. - What, Grandma?
- Oh no... - What about Dad?
Mom, why is Grandma crying?
Mom, say something.
Did something happen to him?
- Ok Boon, what must we do? - Mom.
I can't live anymore.
- Let's go outside. - Poor me.
Oh, no... How am I to live now?
What am I to do?
Mom, tell us.
We need to know about Dad.
Mom, tell us. What happened to Dad?
Mom.
Your dad...
can't come home.
- Why not? - Why can't he come home?
We're all here.
Explain so we can understand.
Don't even think of looking for him.
You said he's in Gangwon Province.
Why can't we look for him?
He's not in Gangwon Province.
- Then where is he? - I don't know.
You aren't making any sense.
You have to know.
You and Grandma must know where Dad is.
There's nothing more I can tell you.
I don't know anything.
For the time being,
don't wait for him or look for him. Do you understand?
No. I'll wait for Dad to come back.
I'll look for him.
Bok Shil.
I hate you.
Why can't we wait for Dad?
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho.
My dad...
won't come home.
What do you mean?
Mom said not to look for him.
But I miss Dad so much.
He must miss me too.
He must miss us all.
Why won't he come home?
That makes no sense.
I'll wait for Dad.
Until he comes home.
Yes. If you wait, he'll come home.
So don't cry.
Your dad won't want you to.
He'll want you to be strong.
You're right.
I won't cry anymore.
I'll be strong and wait for Dad.
Good.
Kyung Ho.
My dad...
liked it when I sang this song.
Would you like to hear it?
Yes.

Why are you rarely at home?
Are you my girlfriend or wife?

Are you seeing someone? What's he like?

Is Jeong Hoon dating?
Will my daughter go to university?
