Ma'am, can I ask you something?
- Is this Sohyun-dong's hill area? - Yes.
Do you know Oh Jeong Hoon? He passed the bar.
Do you know where he lives?
What a rundown house.
They live here and they gave Soon Young a hard time?
Is anyone home?
Does Oh Jeong Hoon live here?
Are you in?
Who is it?
My goodness.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing...
in my house?
Am I at the wrong house?
- Isn't this Oh Jeong Hoon's house? - It is.
Why are you looking for my Jeong Hoon?
My goodness. So this is where my niece's fiance lives?
"My Jeong Hoon"?
Wait. Then are you Oh Jeong Hoon's...
Are you his mom?
Yes.
What? Your niece's fiance?
Oh no...
This is a disaster.
Hello.
I'm Soon Young's aunt, ma'am.
You're who? Her aunt?
Is someone here?
Oh, you must be Mr. Oh's grandmother.
Nice to meet you, ma'am.
I'm the aunt of Soon Young, Mr. Oh's fiancee.
I came to discuss their marriage.
Ok Boon, send her away.
Wait, ma'am.
Hey, hey.
Ma'am.
- Ok Boon. - Yes?
Explain everything well and tell her to leave.
- My niece's fiance... - Who's your niece's fiance?
What else would I call the man who will marry my niece?
Let's talk outside.
Why should we talk outside?
I came to say hello...
and confirm the marriage with you.
I can't stand your family. Also, Jeong Hoon...
will not be allowed to marry your niece.
Stop talking nonsense and get out.
He won't be allowed to marry?
You can't say that if you have a conscience.
Look here, Auntie.
I have the right to speak my mind.
Soon Young supported and waited for Jeong Hoon for four years.
She dated a student for that long while he studied for the bar.
You should be grateful.
How can you reject her just because he passed the exam?
Ok Boon, get moving.
How much longer must we listen to such nonsense?
Let's go outside.
Come on. Stop. Let go of me.
You can't treat your future in-law like this.
Come with me.
Let go of me now.
Why make you guys so great that you treat people like this?
Are you showing off because your son's successful?
I think you should leave for today.
This won't do your niece any good.
This is just unbelievable.
This is how you must've treated my Soon Young.
I can't let her marry into a family like this.
Mom. Jeong Hoon's girlfriend is that woman's niece?
My goodness.
How can someone be so vulgar?
Ok Boon, do you still want them to marry after that?
Don't you think of siding with Jeong Hoon any longer.
If a child makes a mistake,
the adults must correct them.
It's not a parent's duty to always coddle them...
and give into them.
I'll talk to Jeong Hoon when he comes home.
Don't you try to egg on him or support him any longer.
Take your time, Mother.
Jeong Hoon has to join the academy for training soon.
I don't want to upset him before he leaves.
Either way, he can't marry that girl,
so remember that.
What's all this?
What are you doing here if you want to be a singer?
Stay out of it and go on your way.
Let's go somewhere and talk.
I have nothing to say to you.
Oh Se Ra.
Can we talk for a while?
Why do you keep bothering me?
Did you give up on being a singer?
It's none of your business.
Say what you want and leave.
I didn't come multiple times to see you because I'm bored.
I understand why you don't like me.
But I didn't refuse to see you because I belittled you.
Dozens of women come to audition each day...
and I can't test them all.
So why do you want me back now?
It's your potential.
You dropped me at the public audition.
I didn't drop you,
but we needed to find people we could take to Vietnam immediately.
We didn't need gemstones like you.
- A gem? - Yes.
I keep coming to see you...
because I want to polish that gem...
and turn it into a jewel.
If you haven't completely given up on being a singer,
think about it seriously.
If it's a yes, drop by in a few days.
I can't wait too long.
Hang on.
Where did she go?
Bok Shil.
Why weren't you here selling that?
My goodness. What happened?
I bumped into a bike on the way.
You should've watched where you were going.
We can't sell that now.
Must you upset me too?
I didn't ruin the food on purpose!
I'm upset as well!
Bok Shil! Bok...
Bok Shil.
Where are you?
Okay.
Sir, I need to go out.
Where to when you should be working?
I won't be long.
But...
Did talking directly to the CEO make him forget his place?
Bok Shil.
Kyung Ho.
Why are you in the area at this time of day?
Did I interrupt you when you're busy?
No, it's fine.
You're not helping your mom?
I was supposed to but I got upset and came to see you.
- Why? Did she scold you? - Yes.
I dropped all the food by mistake.
How did that happen?
Did she scold you badly?
Kyung Ho, what if I were to say...
I still want to sing?
How would you feel?
Why are you asking me that?
You know,
I'm scared that Mom is so against me becoming a singer,
but it bothers me more that you disapprove.
When I heard that you'd gone on a blind date,
I was really upset.
I told you that I had no idea.
I left right away.
I know, and that's why I let that go.
Can I do as you want...
and give up becoming a singer completely?
I'm not so confident I can.
So I feel bad.
Think about it again.
I explained why I can't support your dream.
I know, and that's why I'm stuck.
Bok Shil.
Shall we watch a movie tomorrow?
- A movie? - Yes.
It's Sunday, so we'll watch a movie and eat something nice.
I'll cheer you up.
Okay.
The young lady likes Kyung Ho?
Of course she does.
She fell in love at first sight.
Madam Gu, what are you doing?
She must be upset about something.
She came in early to drink, and started crying.
Madam Gu, what's wrong?
We aren't even open for business yet...
and you're drunk already.
Why are they so special? How could they treat me like that?
What is she talking about?
Our boss with throw a fit if he finds out.
I know, he will.
Why aren't you getting ready for work?
Oh, dear.
What's this? What's wrong with her?
We don't know what's wrong.
She's been drinking and crying. It's a terrible sight.
You should've stopped her!
Now she can't serve our customers!
I should just fire all of you.
- That is unbelievable. - Why take it out on us?
Exactly, Choon Sam.
If the monk doesn't like the temple, he should leave.
Why are you talking about monks and temples at a cabaret?
(Jo Dong Cheol)
It's time to open...
and the hostess is already drunk.
Boss.
I'm back.
You fool. Don't you know how to knock?
Knock, on the door first. Knock, knock. You moron.
Hello.
Did you make the delivery?
Here's the tab. Now pay me.
Sure. Well done.
Here.
This much?
I'm not a stingy guy.
You'll see that if you continue to work with me.
Just come and work under me.
Call if there's another job.
Boss, I can make deliveries just as well.
Why do you need Jeong Tae for the job?
Do you think I'm going to let him deliver things forever?
Hey.
- What are you doing there? - Jeong Tae.
I thought you'd be at home since you quit selling urine.
Where were you? You weren't out fighting, were you?
I told you to stay out.
How can I?
What do you do these days? Can I help?
You want to get drenched in urine and cause trouble again?
Don't you get involved in my business.
I got the rash which is why you bought me the cream.
I wouldn't mind getting into trouble for that.
If you ever need help, just tell me.
My gosh.
What should Jeong Tae tell you?
He's doing something other than selling urine.
I asked if he needed my help.
Why would you need to help him?
Hey.
Choon Ja went around collecting urine from all over.
Did you ask her to help you?
No, I did not.
Don't you ever make Choon Ja do things like that.
It was nothing like that, Dad.
Hey.
Stay well away from me from now on.
You just gave him the wrong idea about me.
Jeong Tae.
Dad doesn't know anything.
Mom, your second son's home.
Jeong Tae.
Mom and Grandma are in a bad mood, so be quiet.
Why? Did something bad happen?
Jeong Hoon's girlfriend's aunt was here earlier.
Was she?
Why are they upset, then?
She kicked up a huge fuss.
She was really rude to mom in the market place once.
Mom, did Jeong Hoon's girlfriend cause trouble?
Be quiet.
Did the girl's aunt come over and cause a fuss...
because Grandma disapproved?
- What did you say, Jeong Tae? - What?
Mom, did Soon Young's aunt come by?
What did she say?
Let's not talk about it.
Mom.
How much do you know about Soon Young's aunt?
What does she do?
What did she say?
How could she just barge into the room...
and ask to set a date?
She didn't even watch her language around your grandma.
How could someone be so rude?
I'll talk to Grandma.
You'll just make things worse. Keep quiet.
You'll only get into trouble if you try and talk to her now.
Oh, right.
I need you to go somewhere with me tomorrow.
Gosh, my insides are killing me.
Oh, dear.
Did you have a lot to drink?
I passed out and didn't serve any customers today.
Did you meet Jeong Hoon today?
No.
Do you want some soup?
No, forget it.
I have no right to eat anything you cook.
What do you mean you have no right?
What? Oh, it's nothing.
Just bring me some cold water.
Okay.
She doesn't know yet.
This is driving me crazy!
Why does the bun lady have to be his mom?
I need to clean up my mess...
before Soon Young finds out.
How about Jeong Hoon? Did you see him today?
I told him to think about it,
so he'll get back to me in a few days.
So you didn't talk to him today?
I talked to him yesterday. Why are you so impatient?
What if he says no?
You should've talked to him again.
He needs some time to think as well.
Do you think I have that much free time?
Should I sweep everything aside to focus on your tutor?
That's how much I need him.
I can't manage without Jeong Hoon.
I like him.
- What? - I like Jeong Hoon.
That's why I want him back.
What did I just hear?
You like whom?
Mi Jin.
What did she just say?
I thought she was an immature kid...
but she's a good judge of character.
Are you saying you like the tutor or what?
Mi Jin's a good judge of character?
What do you mean by that?
What are you talking about?
Mi Jin said she likes her tutor.
That's why she asked her dad to get him back.
I'm against it.
What does Mi Jin lack...
that she'd forget her pride and cling to someone like him?
Why are you getting so worked up? Calm down.
Even if Mi Jin said she likes him,
you should've said she can't and shouldn't.
I just heard about this today.
I need to gather my thoughts.
I should talk some sense into her.
Don't.
Sit back down and don't cause a fuss.
What do you think of Jeong Hoon?
Jeong Hoon isn't a bad match for Mi Jin.
Honey!
I could rely on him if he were to join the family.
5, 6, 7, 8.
Aren't you having breakfast?
It's Sunday. We can take our time.
I see...
Mr. Kim.
A house way down at the bottom of the hill...
How much do you think it'll cost?
I wouldn't know anything about that.
Why would you be asking anyway?
I have to marry Kyung Ho off soon.
Don't you think we should move?
Kyung Ho's getting married?
He went on a date...
with the daughter of a school headmaster.
- Did he really? - Yes.
We couldn't ask her...
to live with us in this shack of a house.
What's wrong with our house?
You call it a house but it's more like a matchbox.
You managed to live for so long in this matchbox house.
Sang Man, what are you talking about?
I'll bring in the breakfast table. Wash your hands and come in.
- Okay. - Choon Sam.
Are you moving to a house way down the hill?
Because your daughter-in-law can't live in this matchbox house?
No, no, Sang Man.
We won't be moving, so don't call the estate agent.
Who should I believe now?
Unbelievable.
What's so bad about our house? Nothing, right?
Our house is the best, Dad.
How dare they?
How much did Kyung Ho save up in Vietnam?
Where did she put the money?
Let's see.
Is it in here?
What are you doing?
I'm exercising.
1, 2, 1, 2.
Kyung Ho, come and eat breakfast.
1, 2, 1, 2.
Sit down.
- 1, 2, 1, 2. - Let's eat.
Okay, okay.
I heard the date didn't last long.
What? Oh, yes.
I had plans.
The teacher seemed to like you a lot.
She wants to see you again when you're free.
I got her phone number.
I don't want to get married yet.
Why don't you want to?
You just have to get married and you've done your duty.
Why should we rush him into marriage?
Be quiet.
It's Sunday today, so call and ask to meet her.
I have plans.
Then when will you see her again?
I want a daughter-in-law...
just like that lady teacher.
We aren't that rich.
I don't need new clothes and shoes.
You move into the training institute tomorrow...
and you don't have a decent outfit.
I'd get a loan to buy you clothes.
Sorry, Mom.
I'm causing you so much trouble.
I don't know what Soon Young's aunt said yesterday,
but I'd like you to accept her without any prejudice.
Let's talk about that another time.
Tomorrow's an important day for you.
You should leave in a good mood.
I need to make a stop. You go home first.
- Where will you go? - It won't take long.
Don't be late. You leave early tomorrow.
I'll take these for you.
Okay.
See you in a bit.
Did your aunt say anything?
My aunt? No.
Why would you ask?
Just in case...
she's anxious for us.
You told her to trust you and wait.
She hasn't said much since then.
I see.
You go to the institute to train tomorrow.
Yes.
I got you a necktie. Wear it tomorrow.
When did you get this?
I was pleased when you passed the bar,
but tomorrow is the new beginning.
I wanted to get you something nicer.
I'm sorry this is all I could get you.
Don't say that.
I didn't give you anything.
You did.
Your love is the biggest gift anyone can have.
Thank you.
What do you like about him?
How can I explain all that?
He doesn't have an affectionate bone in his body.
He's the man of the house with a grandmother and three siblings.
He has nothing to show off other than that he passed the bar.
Do you think just anyone can pass the bar?
Sang Pil, come and sit down.
Are you going out?
Yes, to the office to work.
I said sit down.
What's the matter?
What do you think?
Is Mi Jin's tutor good for her at all?
Why would you ask him that?
Jeong Hoon's a good guy.
But I don't think he suits Mi Jin.
Mi Jin was loved and lacked nothing as she grew up.
Instead of marrying someone she loves,
she should love someone who values and cherishes her.
What do you know anyway?
Sang Pil's right.
Dad.
You think so too?
Then it's settled.
I was concerned that the brat didn't know right from wrong.
I'm glad you set things straight.
But once he decides that Mi Jin's for him,
he'll treat her better than anyone.
Honey.
He's strong-minded and won't be easily swayed.
And he's so trustworthy.
- Did anyone call? - No.
Why come to work on a Sunday?
We must find someone to replace Chae Kyung and reduce the damage.
What'll you do if Oh Se Ra doesn't show up?
She seemed willing and determined.
Was I mistaken?
- Did you enjoy the movie? - Yes, I did.
I felt bad that the man betrayed and left the woman.
I wanted them to be happy together.
What about you?
I liked that...
the female character was a music teacher.
She moves from the city to the countryside...
and drinks with the other teachers...
and sings a pop song.
I loved that part.
Did you?
They were all the songs I like.
Wasn't the theme song just amazing?
A rookie singer recorded it.
She's really popular these days.
Shall we eat something?
Name what you want.
I can sing the theme song.
The radio shop played it a few times.
I memorized it already. Shall I sing it?
I am alone
As I walk along the street
The mist
Is all that I see
One day I hope
Why are you coming home together?
Kyung Ho, you said you had plans. Was it with Bok Shil?
No, Mal Soon. We met in the alley.
Wherever you met, why are you always together?
Are you trying to ruin his chances of getting married?
Mom, let's go inside.
Bok Shil, go on.
Kyung Ho met a lovely lady...
and now he has to date and marry her.
Know your place...
and stay away from my son, do you understand?
Where exactly is my place? Why do you look down on me?
How dare you glare and talk right back at me?
- You're so uneducated. - Mom!
I have no intention of clinging to Kyung Ho, so don't worry.
- Why that... - Bok Shil!
That rude little...
Mom, why do you talk like that to Bok Shil?
Why are you so rude?
What is wrong with him?
Why did he get upset at me and defend that brat?
This really won't do.
You saved up and splurged for...
- this special occasion. - Yes.
Bok Shil, let's talk!
Why are you looking for my daughter?
We need to talk.
- Bok Shil and Kyung Ho... - You're in.
Hello.
Madam Gu?
Why are you here?
What are you doing over here, Madam Gu?
"Madam Gu"?
Do you know her, Mal Soon?
Yes. She's the hostess of the cabaret I work at.
It's none of your business, so stay out of it.
Grandmother-in-law, ma'am, how are you?
I was out of line yesterday. Accept this.
It's expensive liquor.
"Grandmother-in-law"?
Ma'am.
The young lady Jeong Hoon brought home...
was Madam Gu's niece?
Ok Boon, send her away.
- Grandmother-in-law. - Please leave.
I'm here to discuss the kids' future...
as calmly as possible, ma'am.
I don't believe this.
The man who Madam Gu's niece will marry...
is Jeong Hoon of all people?
Will you stop calling me that?
Why can't I call you by your work title?
Oh, dear. It looks like you ruined your chances.
What? Shut your mouth, you hag!
Please leave. Both of you!
You bragged so much about your nephew-in-law passing the bar.
You invited us to a wedding feast and that was all a lie.
Just look at the way they're treating you.
I will just slit your mouth!
- As if you stand a chance. - My goodness.
- That hurt. - Gosh.
What? Was I wrong?
A nephew-in-law who passed the bar? Wake up!
Stop fighting in my yard. Get out! Both of you!
I was just trying to help.
Jeong Hoon.
Auntie.
Jeong Hoon, I can't stand this any longer.
How can you treat me like this?
This is unbelievable.
- Try to get up. - My back...
Ok Boon, bring Jeong Hoon in here.
- Jeong Hoon, go inside. - Mom.
Mal Soon, please send her off.
Jeong Hoon, you heard me. Go inside.
- Come with me. - Let go.
There's no way the marriage will happen.
Stop daydreaming and go home.
I'll never come back here again.
What are you doing here?
All the jerks seem to live in one small area.
Honey, darling, Bok Shil's family is in a real mess.
What's the matter?
The man Madam Gu's niece will marry...
is Jeong Hoon of all people.
I can't believe it.
What? What did you just say?
That woman I just saw.
She's your cabaret's hostess?
Yes.
My goodness. That is terrible.
That darned woman. Did she have to be their neighbor?
I really wanted to be nice and get my point across.
What if Soon Young were to find out?
I went to Jeong Hoon's and caused a ruckus twice.
What did you just say?
My gosh, you were home?
What did you say?
Did you go to Jeong Hoon's home?
Actually, I just...
Whatever. You'll find out anyway.
Yes, I was there.
Auntie.
I really wanted to be polite and calm...
and negotiate your marriage.
My cabaret's seamstress lived in the house...
right opposite to theirs.
She just ruined everything!
Why did you even do that?
How could you visit his family without even telling me?
I went there to make things work.
Do you think I wanted to ruin everything?
One drop of water on the crown can drip all the way to the heel.
Everything the parents do will reflect on their child.
That's why we consider the family background before marriage.
What could Soon Young have learned from her aunt?
She's different.
You saw her a few times. You must've seen that.
Aren't you going to become important?
Don't you know how important a wife's character is?
So is her family's.
If they can't be of any help to you,
they at least shouldn't harm your reputation.
How can we become in-laws with a family like that?
I understand why you're concerned,
but I can't give up on Soon Young.
Please try to see how I feel.
Why are you still refusing to understand what I'm trying to say?
Stop it, Mother.
Jeong Hoon leaves for the institute tomorrow.
Don't let him leave with a heavy heart.
Fine.
We must be careful before such an important day.
You can leave.
We never had a quiet day...
since you passed the bar.
I'm so upset.
Sorry.
Once you go into training,
it will be the start of a new chapter and it will...
make up for all the hardships.
Don't get too upset...
and try to calm down and be happy.
Let's take some time...
and think about your marriage.
I'm off, then.
Take care.
You look great. Really great.
You look amazing. Not like a poor student.
You shouldn't be late.
Okay. I should go now.
We have a legal professional in the street.
- Make way, everyone. - Stop it.
Is Mr. Oh Jeong Hoon in?
Yes. That would be me.
A telegram for you.
Who would send a telegram so early in the morning?
What's wrong? What does it say?
(Oh Jeong Hoon)
(Acceptance cancelled)
(Through the Waves)
- Oh Jeong Hoon. - Yes.
- Why did you take the exam? - What?
Let's meet up often and have a drink.
Then we can get closer.
You can't take any official exams...
or apply for a passport.
You can't work at any large corporations or government agencies.
Will Jeong Hoon come over?
He won't be able to see you for a while.
This will be the last time I'll come to see you.
- Give me the address. - Whose?
Jeong Hoon's home address.
Why did you two keep it from me? Why?
Can you really make me a successful singer?
