Kyung Ho got back safely, so it's my lucky day.
(Lucky Entertainment)
That's why I must meet the CEO here today.
Who are you?
(Lucky Entertainment)
You're back again.
I told you clearly last time that...
the CEO doesn't meet just anyone.
Do you make deliveries to this office?
Then I'll give you some advice.
If you're here to drop things off, just do your job.
Stay out of my business.
What a joke.
- Don't you have anything to do? - What?
Not everyone who comes in here becomes a singer.
Stop dreaming and wasting your life.
I told you that last time. Is your memory that poor?
Hey. What are you?
What gives you the right to put me down like that?
Whether it's a waste or not,
I know what I'm doing with my life, so move.
Step aside and get out of my way.
The CEO isn't in.
When will he be back?
I'll wait until he comes.
Mr...
Not a word.
The CEO's traveling...
and won't be back for a while.
For a while?
When will he be back?
I don't know.
Why did you get those yourself? You could've sent someone.
I went by the printer's and got what's for Seoul.
Send them out with the albums...
and ask the music stores to put them up.
Yes, sir.
Why did you send that young lady away?
I can't meet every daydreamer that wants to become a singer.
If she comes back, say I'm out.
(Audition to Sing for the Troops in Vietnam)
(Lucky Entertainment)
Darn it.
Does the CEO not work at all?
Why doesn't he come to work?
Darn it.
Why isn't Kyung Ho home yet?
He's at work.
He'll come home when he's done.
What kind of a company makes him work...
the day he came back from almost dying?
Doesn't his employer have a kid of his own?
I don't know.
This won't do.
Where do you think you're going?
I can't wait at home anymore.
I want to go and wait outside.
Don't be silly.
Have patience and wait.
Kyung Ho will come in saying, "Mom, Dad."
But...
Be patient.
- Let go. - Wait here.
- Why won't you let me wait outside? - Try to be patient, will you?
Mom.
My goodness. Who's this?
It's Kyung Ho.
My dear Kyung Ho.
- Kyung Ho. - Mom.
I'd like to...
give you a hug too.
Let me have a look at my baby's face.
Let's have a look.
My dear Kyung Ho.
This isn't a dream, is it? Is this real?
Oh dear...
Are you both healthy?
What good is being healthy?
We almost died ourselves.
Were you not bombed?
Were you hurt at all?
I can't tell if this is a dream or not.
Are you back for good?
- Yes. - Good.
- I'm so glad. - Kyung Ho, you're back.
- Yes. Are you well? - Yes.
You can catch up with him later.
Daddy wants a hug too, Kyung Ho.
Come here.
- My baby, look at you. - My goodness.
Oh dear.
Son, my dear son.
My dear son, you're home at last.
Dear son, dear wife.
You're back.
What's that?
Underwear for you and Dad.
I was too rushed to get you anything else.
Why do we need presents?
You're back safely...
and that's the best gift you could give us.
And this.
I saved up my pay.
This is all money?
What are you doing, Mal Soon?
Oh dear.
What are you doing?
Kyung Ho's back after a year.
Shouldn't you be cooking for him?
What are you talking about?
I won't just cook for him.
I might host a party for the neighborhood.
Right.
So, what's this?
What? Oh, Kyung Ho bought us some underwear.
Go and try yours on.
Shall I?
Let Kyung Ho rest and you come with me.
You go ahead.
Come with me.
You need to prepare for the party.
I will if you leave first.
- What are you saying? - I'll stay a while longer.
- What's that? - What?
My goodness.
Oh dear. Oh dear...
My stomach aches.
What's wrong with me? Do I have a stomach ache?
Why do you suddenly have a stomach ache?
Kyung Ho, tell your dad to go.
- Enjoy. - Sure.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
Buy some gimbap.
We have steamed bread too.
- Mr. Kim. - Hi.
- Ok Boon. - What?
Did you hear about Kyung Ho?
No. Have you heard from him?
He's back home safely.
Is he really?
- My goodness. - Choon Ja called me at work.
I just found out.
That's great news.
It is, it's such a relief.
Come to our house after you close up.
Kyung Ho's parents are hosting a party.
I see.
- It's so great. - Yes.
Thanks. You have some too, Kyung Ho.
- Yes. - Say thanks.
You did very well.
Okay, then.
To celebrate Kyung Ho's safe return,
cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
There's another thing...
we have to celebrate.
Kyung Ho became a manager, you see.
Did he?
All good things are happening at once.
We should say cheers again, then.
Sure.
To celebrate Kyung Ho's promotion to manager.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Han Kyung Ho, get in here.
We need our guest of honor.
Yes, go on inside.
Okay. Enjoy yourselves.
- Sure. - We will.
Oh well.
By the way,
why didn't you bring your mother-in-law?
She wanted to wait for Jeong Hoon at home.
Oh, right, his big exam is tomorrow.
Yes.
Is it? His exam is tomorrow?
I really hope he passes this time.
Jeong Hoon studied really hard this year,
so I'm sure we'll get some great news.
- I hope so. - We should, I hope.
Sang Man.
Today, let's get totally wasted so that...
- we can't walk straight. - Sure, why not?
I think you've had enough for tonight.
Come on.
When can I drink if I don't drink on a great day like today?
You have to go to work soon.
Are you going to skip work again today? You can't.
You're killing me.
There's more than enough food for us all.
You can eat all you want, honey.
Poor you.
Ok Boon, eat up.
Is that really true?
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Welcome back. - Welcome.
Thanks.
Did you make a fortune in Vietnam?
I heard soldiers come back rich.
I worked for a company.
What about you?
Don't ask about me.
He still gets into fights all the time.
Hey.
You always have cuts and bruises on your handsome face.
Hey, how is that a handsome face?
Hey!
What do you do these days?
You don't need to know.
But I'm planning something for the future.
Kyung Ho, can people like me not go to Vietnam?
Why? Do you want to go?
They say you can make a lot of money there.
I could give some to Mom. I'd like that.
Hey, Jeong Woo.
Jeong Hoon will pass his exam...
and I'll earn money.
We'll give Mom and Grandma a great life.
You needn't worry about anything.
- Okay, baby brother? - Yes.
Eat this.
The rice wine tastes so sweet tonight.
Jeong Tae, open your mouth.
Will you please leave me alone?
I'll feed myself.
You're all just the same.
Eat this, Kyung Ho. I'll feed you.
Thanks.
Kyung Ho, did you not get us any presents?
You brat. Did he go to Vietnam to get us presents?
- Brat. - Sorry.
I was in a rush and couldn't get anything.
I'll treat you to a meal.
Hey!
It smells rank.
- Choon Ja. - Get the door.
Is it because I had rice wine?
You're evil.
I want to puke.
Saxophone's not here again?
No. He isn't here yet.
Those two...
Did they really find work somewhere else?
Sir, we're a bit late, aren't we?
A bit?
You missed work yesterday without notice and you're a bit late?
You can both quit if you don't want to work.
I'll find someone else.
Please, sir.
We don't dare...
- make an excuse about that. - He's right.
If you let us off just this once,
- we'll remember it until you die. - Yes, sir.
I'll let you off because I have a business to run tonight.
Get up on stage!
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
- Let's hurry. - Okay.
Saxophone knows some nice sayings.
He'll remember until...
What did he say?
Don't you worry.
Congratulations on your son's safe return.
Mal Soon, Choon Sam.
Congratulations, Choon Sam.
- Thanks a lot. - Thank you.
Well done.
News from a lover.
Does this card mean your son's back?
What kind of nonsense are you on about now?
Why is my son your lover?
I can't even believe what I just heard.
Why are you putting it like that?
It means news as good as news from a lover.
I can't believe you mentioned your son and me together.
- Choon Sam. - Unbelievable.
It's time to go on stage. Let's go.
- Let me change first. - Sure.
I'm heading out.
- My goodness. - Oh dear.
What was that for? How embarrassing.
I held you to stop you from falling down.
What were you thinking?
What? Why?
Kyung Ho.
- Bok Shil. - Why did you call me?
- To give you something. - What?
- What's this? - A present.
A present? What is it?
Open it.
It's a radio.
- Did you get it for me? - Yes.
I'd always wanted one.
Thanks so much. Really, really.
You said you didn't get us any presents.
I thought you hadn't gotten me anything.
I had to get you something.
Now I can listen to songs all the time.
It's the best gift ever.
I missed you, Bok Shil.
What? Me too.
Really? Did you really miss me too?
You're like a brother to me, just like Jeong Hoon...
and Jeong Tae. Of course I missed you.
Is that it?
- What? - I thought about you in Vietnam.
Life was lonely and hard,
but I thought of you and read your letters...
and got through it all.
I enjoyed writing to you.
I'd always wanted a radio.
Thank you.
It's so cold.
Jeong Hoon.
Soon Young.
How long were you here for?
I just arrived.
You waited a while. Your face is frozen.
Not really.
I left in a hurry in case you were waiting.
I was still late.
Did you waste valuable studying time when the exam's tomorrow?
No, I just did some final revisions.
I'll walk you home.
Go straight home.
Your exam's tomorrow and you should sleep early.
It's fine.
It's not. I came here...
just to see your face for a while.
It's cold, so wear this during your exam.
Some taffy.
- Thank you. - Go and get some rest.
I should go.
Soon Young.
See you after the exam tomorrow.
Mom, Jeong Hoon's home.
Oh dear.
You should've come home early on a day like today.
Why are you so late?
I did some last-minute stuff.
Do you think you'll do well tomorrow?
You shouldn't ask things like that. It'll just put more pressure on him.
I bought you some sticky rice cakes. Eat that before bed.
I will, thanks.
What about dinner?
- I ate. - Did you?
Then go to your room and sleep early.
I will.
Since Jeong Hoon ate, put that away.
I will.
Kyung Ho's home.
His mom cooked to celebrate and gave us extra...
for you and Grandma.
Did she really?
I'm glad he's back safely.
We all are.
Go to bed early. You can go too.
Okay. Goodnight, Grandma.
- Goodnight. - Don't think of anything else.
- Sleep well. - I will.
Hey, good luck. Don't be nervous.
Then you'll pass.
Ok Boon.
Let Jeong Hoon rest on his own.
Following him will just put more pressure on him.
Yes, Mother.
Bye, Grandma.
You have a long day ahead of you.
- Good luck, Jeong Hoon. - Don't get nervous.
I won't.
Mom.
Good luck and relax as you go through the questions.
Let's go.
Goodbye.
Jeong Hoon.
I heard you were back. It's great to see you.
It is.
- It's bar exam day? - Yes.
Jeong Hoon, good luck.
You need to pass this time.
Yes.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- Go on and stay relaxed. - I will.
Let's go.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye.
- Come home early. - Okay.
I really hope Jeong Hoon passes this time.
How was life in Vietnam?
To be honest, it was scary being in a war.
I'm impressed though.
You volunteered to go as soon as you joined the company.
Your parents must be proud.
I bet you'll get promoted.
I'm more impressed by you.
Not anyone can study for the bar.
I just caused my family worry.
You chose a tough path.
You'd be flying high if you chose to work like me.
You worked hard for years. You'll reap the rewards soon.
Good luck.
Sure.
Thanks. Let's go.
- Come in. - Dad.
- Hello. - Hello.
Dad.
Why are you here?
I want money.
Why do you need money that you'd come here to ask for it?
I'm meeting friends and Mom's out.
Come in.
Dad, hurry.
This is...
so you'll study hard, okay?
Do as I say.
Can't you do as I say?
Bye.
- Did you finish the report? - Yes.
The performance and profits of the Vietnam branch in the last year.
Well done.
Wait.
Which university did you go to?
Hanguk University's Business School.
Gosh, you're from a great university.
Then can you do me a personal favor?
Could you recommend...
any of your friends as a tutor?
What?
My daughter needs tutoring.
- Find someone for me. - Sure.
Thanks.
- Enjoy. - Bye.
Mom.
- Mom. - What?
- Here. - Okay.
Are you worried about Jeong Hoon?
I'm not worried.
I'm sure he'll do fine.
You scumbags.
You should've gotten the hint when we told you.
We help you so your business will thrive.
You can't say you have a conscience if you don't pay us back.
Am I wrong?
Okay, okay.
I'll give you what you want.
From now on, let's stay civil.
Have a nice day.
Bye.
Those jerks...
How are you doing today?
We're here to collect our payment.
Here we have a familiar face.
What now?
I really don't want to have to kick anything.
What shall I do?
Your mother sold rice cakes here.
You shouldn't do this.
That was years and years ago.
I don't want to cause too much of a fuss.
Pay me before I get nasty.
- Pay me! Now. - Stop it.
Why are you doing this?
Pay up right now.
Pay up.
Why are you doing this?
That scumbag.
Hey!
You jerk.
- Jeong Tae! - Jeong Tae.
Who do you think you are?
Let go.
Come here.
Come at me.
- You... - Jeong Tae!
Stop it, Jeong Tae!
What are you doing?
Come with me.
Who was that?
He's pretty good.
What's wrong with you?
Let me go.
What was that about?
You can't go on beating people up forever.
Do you expect me to leave them alone after...
I saw them demand your money?
Why should you fight them?
You should just turn a blind eye.
How can I pretend I didn't see that?
Don't you know Jeong Hoon's exam is today?
I can barely breathe because I'm so nervous.
Did you have to fight right in front of me?
- How could you? - Just stop!
What do you want to become?
What will you do with your life? You need to grow up.
Darn it.
Hey! Jeong Tae!
(3rd Exam Hall for 9th Bar Exam)
Jeong Hoon.
Soon Young.
- How come you're here? - I took a half day.
It's a special day.
Is it?
I didn't expect to see you. It's great that you're here.
Can I give you a hug?
Yes.
(3rd Exam Hall for 9th Bar Exam)
Well done, Jeong Hoon.
Thank you.
Don't you want to know if I did well?
Did you do well?
I'm not sure if I did well or not.
I'm sure you did fine.
I know just how hard you studied.
Everyone else studied hard too.
Not as hard as you.
Were you upset I was busy studying to go on dates?
That's not it.
I always wondered if I was taking up...
your studying time.
The exam's over, so you can take all my time you want.
Shall we have some tea?
I don't want to waste your time today.
Go home and catch up on the sleep you lost.
I don't want to.
I want to be with you today.
You can't, your family will be waiting for you.
We only saw each other for a few minutes yesterday.
Today, I want to see you for a long time.
What if you bore a hole in my face?
Spend time with your family today and get some rest.
They'll be waiting for you.
Let's go.
Auntie, I'm home.
Why are you home early?
Isn't today that fool's bar exam day?
Didn't you go to see him?
We met up.
How did he do this time? Did he do well?
Will he pass?
He never says things like that so flippantly.
I can tell from your face that he won't pass this time.
Isn't that why he sent you home early?
Because he wasn't in the mood to hang out?
It wasn't like that.
I send him home because his family would be waiting.
I'm off to shower.
If he fails again,
he'll never succeed, so dump him for good.
Oh dear. Why can't I color my lips today?
You did well, studying so hard for so long.
Did you do well?
That look makes me think he failed again.
I'm worried, that's all.
He has a worried look on his face.
Go to your room and rest, Jeong Hoon.
I will. Can I, Grandma?
Of course, go and rest.
Even if you failed, can you at least smile?
The results will take a while.
Do everything you wanted to until then.
Bok Shil.
I wonder why Jeong Hoon looked so downcast.
If his struggle is to end,
we really need him to pass this time.
It's hardest on him more than anyone.
Get me some water.
Okay.
Why are you reading that instead of studying like I told you to?
I'm going to study fashion in Italy.
I can't send...
my one and only daughter out of the country.
Go upstairs and study.
I can't get through to you.
What's up with her?
Here you go.
It's so cold.
What? You asked for water.
The wife of Daeguk Construction's CEO Hwang Chang Shik...
should have class that suits my standard.
Have some class.
How can you bring just the cup without a tray?
Who do you think you owe your great success to?
You had nothing better to do with your life.
The reason you're so filthy rich now...
is because of me, Cheon Geum Geum.
My name means gold gold, that's double gold.
The fortune-tellers say that's why you got rich.
I'm home.
- Hi. You're late. - Yes.
Are you busy preparing the Vietnam show?
Yes. There's a lot to do.
This performance will be twice the size of the last one.
Right. What do you think cheers up soldiers...
who are away from home?
Performances like yours.
Keep increasing in size and frequency...
and grow your company.
You said that...
the war can become an opportunity.
Right.
Oh, a Vietnamese businessman I met while planning this performance...
seems to be interested in construction.
I offered to connect him to Daeguk Construction.
- Did you? - Yes.
He has a very large business.
It could be a great opportunity...
to expand your reach in Vietnam.
I'll write up an official report soon.
Sure.
You're a great help.
I'm so glad to have you working with me.
- Goodnight, then. - Thanks.
- Go on upstairs. - Sure, Auntie.
Sang Pil was worth taking in.
He was orphaned in the war...
and we took him in...
to help out because he was my distant relative.
Now he's doing your business some good, isn't he?
He is.
If only he were my son.
Why do I have just one daughter?
Are you complaining that I didn't give you a son?
Is it all my fault?
Who's the one who never came home?
I can't get pregnant without any action.
Bok Shil, are you still asleep?
Shouldn't you go to work?
Won't you get up?
What? I'm up now.
Wash your face and get ready to go out.
Darn it.
I don't even work anymore.
Can't I sleep in?
- Bok Shil. - Hi.
- Are you going to work? - Yes.
Shall I come to the factory around the time you get off?
What?
I won't go there today.
Why not?
Did you quit again?
You can't tell my mom.
Bye.
Bok Shil.
What?
Come to my company after work.
I'll buy you something nice.
Okay.
Hey, why are you here instead of going to work?
- I quit. - Again?
How come you never last more than...
a few months?
- Let's go outside. - Where to?
Anywhere. We can't stay indoors all day.
Why won't my mom let me do what I want?
What do you want to do? Be a singer?
Don't you know?
Not anyone can become a singer.
That's why your mom's against it. Because you're a daydreamer.
How would someone like you who doesn't...
have a dream understand how I feel?
Why don't I have a dream?
There is something I want to do.
What's that?
I want to marry Jeong Tae.
Hey, you need to wake up.
My brother's a loser.
Do you want to talk about him like that?
It's not that I want to.
I'm just worried about both you and Jeong Tae.
I really wonder what he wants to do with his life.
Do you have the right to worry about him?
You always quit your job.
Hey, are you pleased that Kyung Ho's back?
You were so worried something had happened to him.
Are you glad he's back?
Why wouldn't I be?
I hadn't heard from him in weeks,
and then his office was bombed...
and we didn't know if he was dead or alive.
Now he's back safely.
Of course I'm glad.
Be honest.
- Do you like Kyung Ho? - What?
Don't you like him more than just a friend?
That's why you were so worried something had happened to him.
And wrote so often.
Am I right? I'm right, aren't I?
I don't know.
I never thought about that.
(Audition to Sing)
Hey. Look at that.
What's that?
(Audition to Sing)
They're looking for singers to sing for the troops in Vietnam.
(Through the Waves)
I saw a poster about an audition for singers to sing for the troops.
- No. - I'll do it.
Who do you buy so much steamed bread for?
- A boyfriend? - What?
- Do you want to be a tutor? - A tutor?
I found you a tutor, Mi Jin.
You can start studying tomorrow.
I won't ever study with a tutor.
He fought on the streets ever since he was a kid.
Jeong Tae.
Do you know him?
Go home.
- Did you hold my hand? - Darn it.
Why are you Oh Se Ra?
Oh Bok Shil is a terrible name.
I'll be Kim Marilyn.
- Kim Marilyn? - After Marilyn Monroe.
Work for me.
No thanks.
