(The characters, locations, and organizations in this drama...)
(are all based on fiction.)
The opportunity to turn back time.
It'd be so nice if it were true.
- Do you really want to do it? - Yes, I really do.
You're serious, right? Don't regret later.
Once it's done, there's no going back.
You crazy...
Look at these dark circles.
Look at my skin. It's all sagging.
I'm old.
Goodness, I turned the watch again.
I feel sick.
That feels better.
Mom! What?
- "What?" - What?
I'm an adult that can drink whenever I want.
I don't care about that. You want to become a new anchor...
but you drink until late at night and bash your head like that?
My head? Why?
Oh, gosh. What is this?
My goodness. Did I almost die last night?
Not almost. You'll die today.
Mom, time out!
Let me have a last bite of food before I die at least.
Is this the time for you to eat?
Come over here!
- Okay, I won't eat! - Come here!
That hurts. Seriously, she hits me so hard.
Gosh, you're about to drill a hole in that taxi.
Why do you always clean this beat-up car? No one even notices.
You promised to buy me a new taxi after you make a lot of money.
I'll have to use this until then.
I'm afraid that won't happen.
Just buy a new car first.
You've changed.
Since you had your boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
What do you mean?
Is your head okay?
Right, my head.
Do you even know why you hurt your head?
Of course. I wasn't that drunk.
Didn't I tell you how stainless steel got its name?
You must've learned this time.
Stainless steel?
Don't regret later.
So this is why it's stainless steel.
Stainless steel.
You were such a good driver. You surprised me.
I even drove?
You did. You drove him.
All right. Make a right.
Make a left.
Keep going straight.
Stop!
I've lost my mind.
You crazy brat!
You must've really lost it last night.
Your hands were full of his hair you pulled out.
Pull out some more next time.
I'll plant them on my head.
Didn't he say anything?
He didn't do anything wrong, but he kept apologizing to me.
So?
You don't remember anything at all.
- So? - So what?
I said I'd kill him if he made my daughter drink that much again.
- You really said that? - Why?
Are you worried you might never see your boyfriend again?
Who says he's my boyfriend?
He's not.
Your reaction tells me he is.
He's not! What's wrong with you?
What do you think of him?
He seemed like a nice guy.
Did he really? Gosh.
I'm against you dating him.
You scared me.
My goodness. Get lost!
Get lost! Get lost!
What are you doing?
So did you make wind with your hand?
Didn't you see me blow out that candle?
You're pathetic.
By the way, where is that jerk's house?
Who?
Why do you want to know?
Why do you think a guy made a girl drink?
I'm going to kill that jerk. Don't get in my way.
Just stay still if you don't want to get beaten up by him.
Beaten up? Me?
Weren't you beaten up by Hyun Joo too?
If that's what you want, I'll fight you with taekwondo.
How could I hit a girl? I let her hit me.
Whatever. By the way...
Yeong Soo.
Can you go get me some soup and rice?
Why?
Did you do something wrong?
- Mom! - No, wait.
I'll set you up with a girl.
Who? Sang Eun? Hyun Joo?
I have another friend.
She's really gorgeous.
You can trust me then.
Don't get caught by Mom.
I'm the eldest son of this family.
Mom! I'm hungry.
Give me food!
Kim Yeong Soo.
Mom made this for me herself.
Shall I have some chips?
You can't even open that bag properly because of Mom.
Stop bluffing.
Look who's talking. You're just sucking on that radish kimchi.
I'm savoring it in my mouth.
Should I give it a good crunch?
What are you eating?
Wait!
You already slapped me here.
The Prohibition Against Double Jeopardy.
No person shall be subject to the same offence twice.
It's another offense.
- What is it? - You took money from my wallet.
I meant to tell you, but I forgot...
because it was something urgent.
What was so urgent?
I urgently wanted to eat some chips...
You idiot!
That hurts! Mom!
- Stop right there! - Mom!
- Wait. - Come here, you brat!
Mom, my friends came over to hang out.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, Hyun Joo and Sang Eun.
I'll make you some delicious fish stew, so you should have some.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Mom, can you bring some drinks for my friends?
That's so romantic.
She just got hit by an udon bowl. How could that be romantic?
I don't think I'll be able to see him.
I humiliated myself in front of him.
That's how love begins.
You're lucky if he doesn't think you're a lunatic.
- A lunatic? - You deserve to be called that.
Yes, you're right.
I still envy you.
In my 10 years as a trainee, I've never dated.
All I've done is clean the office, and I'm old now.
I've totally wasted 25 years of my life.
Hey. Being 25 years old as a woman...
is an age when we can't do anything actually meaningful.
They ask me every time I go to an interview.
Did you start school early?
That means my face looks old.
At least you guys are doing what you want to do.
There's nothing I want to do, and I don't have any skills.
Others are all busy getting a job and dating.
I'll just grow old and die making chunjang.
This isn't good. Girls, let's go out.
We need to lift our spirits. Let's go!
What's he doing now?
He'll get caught if my mom hears the crunching sound.
What a pathetic life. I've made up my mind...
to be grateful for everything I have and work hard.
I feel so much better now.
I must say, I want to try what he's eating.
Oh, he's looking at us.
Hi, Yeong Soo!
Darn it. I'm off.
Hyun Joo.
Hey, Lee Hyun Joo.
What are you doing here?
What?
- Hye Ja... - Are you here to see me?
- No, Hye Ja... - I said we're through.
- That's not... - Right.
It must've been hard to move on.
I'm sure you have many regrets.
I bet you've been trying to find what you liked in me in other guys.
But you see, I have no interest in starting over.
Stop using Hye Ja as an excuse...
to see me.
The fact that I was your first ever boyfriend...
is a blessing for you in and of itself.
- What the... - Hey, Hyun Joo. Put this down.
You were only in middle school.
Gosh, you didn't know any better.
My life was bound to be doomed even back in middle school.
I know I was only a kid, but how could I have such low standards...
- He's handsome. - Have you lost your mind...
Who is she looking at?
Is that the guy?
Your face is telling me that he is.
Who's that woman?
- Seo Yeon. - Who is Seo Yeon?
My junior who's now a news anchor.
Oh, that elephant in the field?
"She sells seashells."
- Is he a funny guy? - Is he a funny guy?
No, not at all.
- Then she's hitting on him. - Then she's hitting on him.
- She keeps laughing her head off. - She keeps laughing her head off.
- She's totally flirting with him. - She's totally flirting with him.
Are you okay, Hye Ja?
Why would I not be okay?
It's not like he's my boyfriend.
Girls, let's go.
I'm off!
Gosh, what's wrong with this?
Is it stuck?
Oh, dear. Why is this...
My gosh. What's happening?
- Hello. - Gosh, my goodness.
It's all right.
What if you get hurt before your important exam?
No, I won't. I'm going this way anyway.
Thank you.
- It's really okay. - All right.
I feel bad you walked all the way here past your place to help me.
It's totally fine. My place isn't even that far from here.
I'll be off, then.
No, wait. Come in for dinner.
You haven't eaten yet, right?
Gosh, it's okay. I'll eat when I get home.
I have to eat alone because my grandson isn't home yet.
- It's really okay. - Let's go in.
Okay.
Oh, boy. Hang on.
- Let me carry it for you. - Okay.
Gosh, there are no side dishes.
- Shall I fry an egg for you? - No, it's okay. I hate eggs.
- Really? Gosh. - Yes, let's sit.
All right.
Let's sit.
- No, that's yours. - Well, I'll...
- You should eat... - No, eat up.
Okay, thank you.
Grandma.
Hey, Joon Ha.
We eat like country bumpkins.
I don't know if you'll like it.
I do. It's so good.
You're such a lady.
She's adorable even when she's eating, isn't she?
Yes, sure.
Eat up.
I hope my face isn't red now.
Is it red?
My grandma's green onion kimchi is so good. Try it.
Thank you.
Grandma, your green onion kimchi tastes the best with ramyeon.
Oh, ramyeon.
I'll pack some up for you to take home.
Try it with ramyeon at home.
Gosh, it's okay.
It's not that good. He's just flattering me.
- Thank you. - No problem.
There was only a little bit of the kimchi left.
I'm sorry I can only give you a small container of it.
This is small?
This is a lot.
I'll help her with this.
- It's okay. - It's dark. Get her home safely.
- Take care. - All right, bye.
- Thank you for dinner. - My pleasure.
I won't be long.
Bye.
Go back inside.
Is your head okay?
Yes. It's rock-hard, so it's fine.
- What about your hair? - What?
I can see that you still have a lot of hair.
Thank you.
For what?
For your offer to turn back time for me.
I know you were joking, but I was still grateful.
I almost wanted to believe it.
How shall I put this?
Shall I say I can tell you grew up with loving parents?
I envy you for being able to talk such nonsense so confidently.
Are you subtly dissing me right now?
I guess I don't feel that I'm good enough.
I always make sure I do everything properly.
I feel like if I don't do things perfectly,
the flaws will become my weakness.
It sounds like you lack love.
I don't dislike myself.
I can't say I love myself dearly,
but I think I'm all right.
I have my flaws, of course.
But I think I'm quite cute.
I'm crazy.
Well, I'm just trying to tell you that you should love yourself more.
That will help you become more generous with yourself.
I like that.
Then...
let's try to be more generous and talk casually to each other.
Considering what we went through yesterday,
we should be talking casually.
About yesterday, I sincerely apologize.
I mean, I'm sorry.
And that won't happen again. Never.
Come here.
Come here and look.
Isn't the view from here so beautiful at night?
It is.
In this area, you can probably see the farthest from here.
I think you're right. I live in this neighborhood,
but I had no idea.
I didn't mean to pry,
but I saw you with Seo Yeon earlier.
Yes, she asked to meet up out of the blue.
Why?
She wanted to go out with me.
And?
I turned her down.
I see.
I love the night view here.
Look at the moon. Even the moon looks extra beautiful today.
This feels so nice!
Yeong Soo.
Please, okay?
Come in.
What?
What's all this?
Sit down.
What are you up to?
How dare you speak to your older brother like that?
Something is up, right?
No, nothing.
I'm your older brother.
I know you better than anyone else does.
You don't even remember my birthday.
I don't mean such material things.
I mean mentally.
Nothing is going on.
I know something is going on.
What is it? Tell me. Is it about a guy?
- No. - Is it about your career then?
Your career it is. What's the problem?
- Forget it. - I can't let you suffer alone.
The thing is,
I've given up on becoming a news anchor.
Really?
Does Mom know?
No.
She'd be so disappointed.
You becoming a news anchor has been her only dream.
That's what I'm most worried about.
I feel so sorry for you.
I didn't know I'd be comforted by you one day.
I really feel sorry for you.
Stop it.
I really do.
Stop it. You don't have to.
I do because Mom will beat you up so bad.
- What? - Mom!
- Hey! - Hye Ja isn't going to become...
- Yeong Soo! - a news anchor!
Hye Ja isn't going to become a news anchor!
Gosh, seriously.
I should never have trusted you.
What did you say?
Mom, calm down and hear me out.
Well, you knew I wasn't good enough to become a news anchor.
Objectively speaking, I had no chance.
What kind of parents can be objective about their own child?
I don't need children who don't understand their parents' concern.
I'll find something else.
I'm not planning on idling around like him.
Of course.
So what's your plan?
I'm still thinking.
"Thinking"?
How old are you? How can you still be thinking?
I'm 25.
Because you wanted to become a news anchor,
I've been easy on you so far.
- Come here. - What?
- Come right now. - No, Mom.
- Come. - Mom!
I'll really find something else.
- I promise. - Hye Ja!
- Dad! - Stop right there!
- Close the door! - Stop!
- Dad! - Honey.
- Open the door. - Mom.
Move. I can unlock it within 10 seconds.
Gosh.
Why would you hit me?
Get out of my sight!
My goodness.
Hye Ja, it's okay.
He drives me crazy.
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
I never really thought you were cut out for a news anchor.
You'd better fit for...
Miss Korea.
You should have made me drink more milk.
I tried to, but you wouldn't listen.
I really wanted to become a news anchor and get you a new car.
But you don't have to be a news anchor to do that.
Gosh, you're so cold-hearted.
Shouldn't you say, "It's okay, my girl."
"I'm happy as long as you're healthy"?
But you're already healthy enough.
You're right.
Will Mom be okay?
She'll whine for a few days.
But after that, she'll get over it and start curling hair again.
What about you?
I'll just have to suffer through it.
That's not what I mean. How do you feel?
I'm okay as long as you're okay.
I'm so happy you're my dad.
Honey, I'm off to work.
Don't be too harsh on Hye Ja.
Gosh, what a perfect day to curl hair!
We'll have a lot of customers today.
Mom.
Should I start taking some hairdressing courses?
What?
I mean, Ju Young recently got a job.
She works late every day, her boss is a psycho,
and she even works on the weekends.
It might be a better idea to take over your shop...
Does my job look easy to you?
I didn't say it looked easy.
I know how hard it is.
You stand up cutting hair all day...
until all your fingers are swollen up.
And those nasty perm solutions...
If you know all that, why do you want to do it?
Move.
There's nothing else I can do.
Find something else.
Like what?
It's your job to find it. Don't ask me.
You're 25, remember?
That's enough. Don't even come here again.
Go now. Hurry!
Let me just fold this.
I can do that.
A thief?
Gosh.
Hello.
Who are you?
I'm Joon Ha's friend.
And?
I'm here to return these food containers.
By the way, who are...
Who is he?
Mom. What's wrong?
Your dad...
Dad? What happened to him?
Mom!
(Emergency Medical Center)
- Dad! - Honey.
- Dad! - What should we do?
Honey, please.
What should we do?
Honey. Honey!
- Honey! - Dad!
(Restricted area)
Honey!
(Operating Theater)
He was hit by a truck as he was making a left at an intersection.
The truck seems to have been experiencing brake failure.
(School Zone)
Well then.
(Restricted area)
(Restricted Area)
No! Honey...
No...
This can't be happening...
- No, Honey. Please... - Mom.
Mom...
Give me back my watch.
I meant to give it back to you.
Give it to me.
This will work. It will.
Please. Please...
Honey, I'm off to work.
Don't be too harsh on Hye Ja.
Dad.
Dad. Dad!
No. Dad!
Dad!
I should take this.
Is something wrong?
Do you know how startled I was when you left like that?
Do you want me to cheer you on or comfort you right now?
Now you're looking at me.
If I can't do anything for you, at least let me drink with you.
What would you do?
There's a person you must save.
You must...
save him by all means.
But...
But you can't save him.
The same situation repeats thousands of times,
but there is no way to save him.
You have to keep trying until you succeed.
I can't. No matter how hard I try, it's impossible.
Still, you must save him.
You're the one who said he's a person you must save.
A person you must save by all means.
If that person is that important,
you should try a million times and save him.
Thank you.
I think that's what I wanted to hear.
1, 2, 3.
(Taxi Driver Certification, Kim Yong Su)
Dad, Dad!
Dad.
Dad!
Dad...
Dad, as soon as you left home,
the truck was about to hit you,
so I got on my bike and tried to divert the truck,
but you kept... So I got on my bike again...
and followed you, but I couldn't catch up with you.
I kept trying over and over...
and managed to save you...
But what happened to your leg, Dad?
Why? What's wrong?
No...
What on earth happened?
Mom and Dad, you two still look the same.
What happened to me?
Yeong Soo looks the same too.
Please calm down. Have some water.
So you're saying...
I'm your father, right?
You're my daughter.
Dad, do you not recognize me?
Mom.
Well, ma'am.
What is your name?
I'm Kim Hye Ja.
How old are you, ma'am?
You know that I'm 25!
Tell us more.
Like what? What else do you want me to tell you?
What do you want to know?
Right, Mom. I gave you money to fix the sink.
But that night, I came home drunk with a scrape here.
- My gosh. - Also yesterday,
I said I'd give up on becoming a news anchor, and you scolded me.
And Yeong Soo.
You wanted to eat samgyeopsal all by yourself,
so you sealed your door with duct tape and passed out.
We called an ambulance, and you had to go to the ER.
Do I have to say more?
Mom and Dad, you still can't tell...
that I'm your daughter?
That watch!
I told myself I'd never use it again.
But to save Dad...
My gosh, what do I do?
What do I do now? My goodness.
- What should I do? - How is this possible?
No, get off me.
No, this can't happen.
I can turn back time again.
I'll turn back time again. This will fix everything.
My gosh, what is happening?
What's wrong with this?
Why isn't this working?
No. No, please.
No, you can't stop! No...
I have to go back.
I have to travel back in time.
This can't be fixed.
Watches like this are no longer made.
Oh, this can't be repaired.
This is an ancient model.
It'll be very hard to repair this.
What do I do?
What do I do now?
What am I going to do?
What am I supposed to do now?
What do I do? My gosh...
What do I do?
(Happy Beauty Salon)
(Midnight Snack Bar)
A bowl of udon, please.
Hye Ja.
Open the door.
Hye Ja, open up. Please?
Mom, I can get it open in 10 seconds.
What? Gosh, seriously.
There's food on the table. Come out and eat it whenever you want.
Mom, there was no spicy stir-fried pork when we were eating.
Gosh, what?
Ma'am, is Hye Ja home?
Well, she's...
Did she get married?
Hey, that's absurd.
Take care.
Thanks.
Goodbye.
Hyun Joo and Sang Eun came by.
What did you tell them?
Well, nothing much.
Tell them that I'm away on a trip.
They may think I went to see Auntie in Germany.
All right, I will.
A bowl of udon, please.
Here you go.
- Enjoy. - Excuse me.
- Yes? - The girl I came here with.
Has she been back here?
Oh, you mean...
- the hairdresser's daughter? - Yes.
No, she hasn't.
She's probably in Germany.
I think I heard she was visiting some relatives there.
I wish I could go somewhere too.
Why couldn't she say anything to me?
Grandma.
Hey. Greet your father properly.
Joon Ha, you're home.
He's been coming here without me knowing?
I just give him some food...
Hey, I thought you were working tonight.
Leave.
- Get out! - Calm down.
Gosh, that temper of yours.
More rice, Mom.
My goodness.
You little punk...
Get lost before I sue you...
for everything you've stolen from Grandma.
This punk definitely needs to learn a thing or two.
You can't sue someone...
for stealing from a family member.
Are you sure you can become a reporter?
Joon Ha, go outside.
Go out.
Well, Joon Ha.
He'll leave soon.
So just... Oh, my.
Joon Ha!
Give me some money.
I can see you two aren't starving.
Give me some.
Gosh.
- Excuse me. - Who is it?
An assault has been reported.
What?
I didn't do anything like that.
Wait...
Oh, my.
That punk is lying!
I'm his dad!
He obviously did it to himself.
- Be quiet, will you? - Gosh.
Did you do it to yourself?
- I didn't. - That little punk!
Mom, talk to them!
You've got some impressive records here.
Gambling, multiple assault charges...
That's not true! Let me go!
He asked for money.
When I said no, he slapped me in the face.
When I tried to stop him, he started punching me. And then...
he rammed my head against the wall.
This is crazy!
That's all a lie! Mom!
Use a lie detector or something.
Detective Kim, put him in the cell.
- Wait. - You'll have to come back...
- and testify again. - This is absurd.
Do you think I'll sit back?
I'll pay you back!
Gosh.
This is crazy.
Seriously.
As long as I can keep him away...
It's all right.
I'm never going to get him out.
Neither should you.
Do you think what I did is wrong?
He deserved it.
He was never a good dad.
I never considered him my son.
Grandma, you skipped a meal again?
- Where were you? - I wanted some fresh air,
so I stepped out for a minute.
- Here. - What is it?
The doctor said you can take this even if you didn't eat.
So take this before having a meal.
Okay.
My goodness. Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Gosh, you say that too often.
- I'm okay now. - I have to go to work.
Turn on the heater in the evening.
- Okay. - Don't forget your medicine.
Stop feeling bad.
- See you later. - Okay.
Grandma, I won't be long.
I told you to turn on the heater. It gets cold at night.
Grandma.
She led such a hard life, and I can't believe she's gone.
How will you handle her funeral?
I'll take care of it.
Thank you, Hee Won.
No need to thank me. Hang in there.
(Rest in Peace)
This is room number two of Gidok Hospital.
Can you please deliver a wreath to this place?
Please send the biggest one you have.
Thank you.
(Rest in Peace)
Mom!
Mom.
Mom! No...
How could you go like this?
It's your fault, you punk!
Mom died because of you. You jerk.
You killed my mom. It's all your fault.
- Mister. - Let go.
What are you doing? Goodness.
Mr. Lee.
Did you really make everything up?
Were those wounds really self-inflicted?
Your grandmother dropped by the police station.
I told you so. That's the kind of punk he is.
What? You want to be a reporter?
I'll sue you for making false charges.
Stop making such a fuss.
Who are all you people?
(Dad, Mom)
(The Light in Your Eyes)
How long has it been since you last ate something?
What are you thinking?
I'll just die.
I cannot let...
my family see me like this.
Eating shows are a trend in China and Southeast Asia lately.
If this goes well, I'll make a fortune in an instant.
Hyun Joo, do you want to start over?
I thought, from the moment you sent me that,
we cut off all our relations legally?
Since we're strangers now,
there's nothing that I can't do.
I don't know about anyone else, but you should've recognized me.
You should've looked for me.
Kim Hye Ja.
