All right.
I will now introduce my family,
a family that is full of harmony and love.
First, I will introduce someone who is attempting
to get into college for the sixth year in a row.
He's such a persevering jerk.
The eldest son of our family, Kim Jung Bong!
It seems that he went to a study room.
Next up is my son,
who looks just like me from head to toe.
Introducing our second son, Kim Jung Hwan!
Jung Hwan. Say something for the camera.
Quit doing things like this.
But, this is the first time I'm doing this, tough.
The only one I can trust is my wife.
The cornerstone of our home, my cheetah
and my jaguar!
Honey, say something!
Why are you doing this?
You brought this from your show again, didn't you?
-How much is this worth?-980,000 won.
Why? You're such a miser.
How could you call your husband a miser?
Here. How about a word to your miser husband?
Geez! I can't even break this.
It's not that you won't hit me,
it's because you just can't!
Shut it, already!
-Shut it, already!-It hurts!
It hurts!
Excuse, excuse me!
Please, excuse me!
Looking, looking very closely...
Is this your house?
Yes, yes, yes it is!
How did you know?
Don't reciprocate his stupidity, Deok Sun.
It'll become a habit.
I think it's funny, though.
My mum wanted me to bring this to you.
My grandma brought it.
Tell her that we'll enjoy it.
Deok Sun, you must be happy.
You really love your grandma.
Yes.
But she's leaving tomorrow.
Why are you using your hands? It's so disgusting.
What's the matter with you?
This scent. You have such a nice scent.
Don't old farts like me just smell like old farts?
You smell nice.
Dad smells like this, too.
Your belly is so flat. How did dad,
my uncle and my chubby aunts came out of here?
After giving birth to four chubby kids,
my belly ended up shrinking.
How can you ask that when you're a high school student?
Granny. Do you know what Sung Deok Sun's nickname is?
-Don't you dare.-It's "IWESS."
It stands for "Idiots Who Especially Suck at Studying".
Are you an excellent student then?
All you do is go to protests!
Did you just call me 'you'? You little...
I'm warning you girls!
Let me make it simple for you!
If you argue one more time,
I'll beat you and kick you both out!
I'll beat you to a pulp!
Mother.
You're not uncomfortable in any way, right?
Have a good night sleep then.
-Okay, go to sleep.-Yes, mother.
I'll kill you both.
Sung Deok Sun, consider yourself saved by Granny.
Granny. What was uncle like?
Did he study better than dad?
No. Your dad is the clever one.
That's why he graduated from
the best commercial high school in Gwangju.
Your uncle...
Even since he was young, he took it upon himself
to earn money for his younger siblings.
But even so, he's the richest among us.
He even lives in the US.
Running a laundromat in the States is not that easy.
He's barely putting food on the table nowadays.
When I think about your uncle,
my heart just hurts.
Then, who's a better son to you?
Dad calls you every morning.
Why are you asking that?
Both of them are devoted sons.
Your dad and your uncle never fought.
Why can't you two be like that?
That's because Bo Ra always picks fights with me.
-What?-You little...
Come out!
"Episode 2: One Thing You Misunderstood About Me"
Mother, be careful.
Why are you in such a rush to leave?
Since you're here,
you might as well spend another night here.
I have to go back and dry the chillies,
and there are so many other things to do too.
Granny, I'll come and visit you during the winter holidays.
-Please stay healthy until then.-Okay, my child.
But, where's Bo Ra? Where did she go?
She left early to go to the library.
College students study so much nowadays.
Library? She probably went to a protest.
Oh dear. Are you throwing this away?
Yes. It can't be used anymore, mother.
What are you saying? It looks fine!
Let me see.
Where?
I'll take it back and use it as an umbrella stand.
You already have a lot of things with you!
Why are you taking that too?
When I come visit you, I'll buy you a better one than this!
You don't have to waste your money to buy this kind of things.
I can just use this one.
Hey, you'll be late to work. Go. Quickly!
Geez.
-Goodbye!-Have a safe trip!
I told you, I've got it!
-Give me that!-No, I'll carry it!
You have so many things with you. Let me take it.
I said I'll carry it.
Stop worrying about me and just go!
I said, give it to me!
You want me to give it to you? I asked you to give it to me.
Why are you carrying all of these?
Go, hurry.
-Gosh.-Goodbye.
-I'm off!-Okay, see you later.
If you wear that
and get caught by your sister, you're dead!
Bo Ra goes drinking every Saturday.
I'll be home before she does.
Hey, Kim Jung Hwan! How do I look?
I'm late. Gosh.
Hey, there are only three minutes left.
This is new. How does it look?
Isn't that your sister's?
Hey, only two minutes left! Let's hurry!
Hello!
Hello, sir!
Hey! When did you get back?
Yesterday. Are you going to school?
Yes.
Drink a lot of milk and grow big soon, my little Taek!
You have to grow up fast so that you can marry me.
Hey, there's only one minute left!
Do you have a death wish? Hey!
"Ssangmun Girls' High School"
Be on time for a change.
Aren't you tired of getting punished for being late every morning?
It doesn't matter. My head is full of rocks.
Hey, Wang Ja Hyun.
So, what did you get?
I only got 45 percent.
I don't think our love will work out.
Look.
-You idiot. You did it wrong!-What?
You wrote your name first.
That means, your love for him is only 45 percent.
Really? Let me try it again.
I need to write his name first, right?
"Byun Wang Jin, Ja Seob Hyun"
7, 10...
-70 percent!-70 percent?
Byun's love for you is at 70 percent?
Seriously?
I'm going to try it, too. Me too.
"Tom Sung Cruise, Deok Sun"
What is this? They're not Korean noodles.
It's called spaghetti. You've never had it, right?
This is the first time I've seen it.
You should have just made the normal noodles.
Since I have money, I might as well spend it.
I'm going to eat what rich people eat before I die.
What are you doing?
Are you boiling Korean noodles?
Are these the chewy noodles?
-I told you, it's spaghetti!-Okay.
Stop glaring at me like that. You look so scary.
But why are we celebrating Taek's victory at our place?
What can a widower cook? I asked them to buy chicken.
-Taek is coming, too.-Really?
I guess I'll see Taek for the first time in a while, huh?
If I had a daughter, I'll definitely make him my son-in-law.
I'm claiming Taek first.
He's going to be my son-in-law.
But, why isn't Bo Ra coming today? Everyone else is.
She has something at school every Saturday
and she usually comes home late.
She won't be home after 12am today, either.
Mum! Where are you?
Bo Ra?
What?
Why is she back so early?
Mum!
8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16...
How old am I, again?
Eighteen. Click it two more times.
17, 18.
If it breaks, your love is doomed.
If it breaks, your love won't come true.
Don't you even dream of love until you get those braces off.
Be quiet.
My first love depends on this.
I'm going on a club trip today.
I'm going to go as soon as I pack my bag.
Why are they planning a club trip today?
I don't know.
An upperclassman said that
he got paid today, so he wants to go to Daesungri.
Crazy jerk! He just does whatever he wants!
Mum, there was...
Did you see my tan pants that I kept here?
I washed those this morning and hung them up.
They should be dry by now. Let me go get them.
No, it's okay. I'll just wear these pants.
But mum...
I don't see that...
You know, my jacket.
Where's my jacket?
The baseball jacket.
I left that at the dry cleaner's...
No, no. My denim jacket.
Where's my denim jacket?
It was definitely here.
I even saw it this morning!
Where's my denim jacket?
Actually...
Bo Ra.
It was definitely here this morning!
Why isn't it here now?
Where's my denim jacket?
Did I wash it?
Wait just a minute.
Where's my denim jacket?
Sung Deok Sun! I'll kill you!
Men's 100 meters has finally begun.
The American...
Where is my denim jacket?
Sung Deok Sun!
Their fiasco would be more entertaining than this.
Madam. Lend me your phone.
And the phone book too.
Yes, this is Ssangmundong High School.
Sir! No, no...
Can you put the dean on the line?
Yes, this is the dean.
Dong Ryong's father! Can you put No Eul on the line?
Yes, hello?
Mum?
"Ssangmundong High School"
"Why aren't you aware of that?"
Sister!
"Ssangmun Girls' High School"
They started running.
Ben Johnson runs pretty fast.
Ben Johnson...
Ben Johnson, first place...
He's definitely on steroids. I'm pretty sure.
What am I going to wear?
I'm going to kill Sung Deok Sun!
Where did Sung Deok Sun go?
Where else would she go to? School, obviously.
Sometimes, I wonder how she even got into Seoul University.
She's coming. Over there.
Here.
Where are you going?
-I'm going to kill Sung Deok Sun.-Here it is!
It was right here.
I totally forgot about it.
I'm back from school.
You're home, Deok Sun? You're early today.
It's Saturday,
so I got off earlier.
-Hey, Sung Deok Sun.-What?
Did you wear your indoor slippers to school today?
Of course, this is what I always wear.
Can't you see?
Deok Sun.
Go get washed up, and let's go to Jung Hwan's.
We're celebrating Taek's victory today.
So Jung Hwan's mum bought some American noodles.
What are you going to do about this?
Should I use the hair dryer?
I don't have time for that!
Why did you wash this without even asking me first?
What am I supposed to wear today?
Hey. Grow up.
What did you just say to me?
I said, grow up instead of harassing mum!
You little...
You should grow up. You always ranked last in exams.
No, I don't!
There're more than 400 students who has lower ranks than me!
Is that something to brag about?
What do you need clothes for when all you do is play all day?
Just wear whatever you have!
No one's going to see it since you're ugly.
All right, I've had just enough today.
You'll be dead today.
Do you think you're pretty?
Your nose is like a man's nose!
Geez!
I'm back... and I'm off to school again.
Are you making fun of me?
Am I your friend? Friend?
You ignored me first!
'You'? I'll kill you!
Crazy wench!
You always have something to say about me!
You'll die today!
Say it again!
Darn it!

If I could just meet Mr. Young Pil, my life would be complete!
You don't need to call Jo Young Pil "Mr".
He's two years younger than you!
Once he's sweetheart, he will forever be a sweetheart.
Hi!
What are you all up to? They're not here yet?
Hi, Jin Joo!
Anyway, what is the smell that's so attractive?
Honey, you're home early today.
It's been a while since Taek's father is treating us.
So, of course I couldn't be late on a day like today.
Speaking of which, what's on the menu for today?
We have spaghetti.
Get... getty? What's that?
Spaghetti. It's an American food.
How are we supposed to eat this, anyway?
How else would you eat it?
The same way you eat anything else.
Why isn't Mr. Choi here yet?
The noodles are getting bloated.
Mr. Choi is like Jo Young Pil of our neighbourhood.
The superstar always comes last.
The superstar is here.
The door is open, so why is he using the bell?
It's suffocating.
Hello.
Kantapia.
Go to Jung Bong's room.
Why did you get here so late?
We were waiting for you.
You should have closed the shop on a day like today.
You don't need to work so hard, since your son earns so much money.
That's not my money. That money belongs to Taek.
Taek has nowhere to spend his money.
Why not use some of it?
Here you go.
You bought two of them?
Honey. Put this in Jung Hwan's room.
Is Taek coming, too?
It's been so long since I've seen him.
He's coming.
He doesn't even attend school,
so his only friends are kids from this block.
But he wants to cool his head first.
Mr. Choi.
Please say hello.
What's that?
Taek's dad, try waving your hands.
No, it's okay.
Bo Ra's dad, please say something!
Then, what about the Ugly Sisters of our town?
-A camera!-It's broadcasting...
It records our movements!
There's a missing lady here.
There was a lady here who is the prettiest among you three.
Has anyone seen my cheetah?
Here she is.
After I count to three...
1, 2, 3.
You thought I was putting it down, right?
Geez! Get rid of it!
My eye almost popped out!
What would I do if that really happens?
I'm back.
Oh yes, come in.
-Where's our Sun Woo?-He's coming.
Hello! I'm back from school!
You're here, my son?
Our Sun Woo. You know that I love you, right?
Yes.
I wonder why my friend's not here yet.
Who?
Oh, President Sung!
Oh, President Kim!
How great it is to see you!
Deok Sun! Thanks for reciprocating.
I got it. I know.
What are you two doing?
Why isn't Taek with you?
He's coming.
The star of the show always shows up last!
I asked him to borrow some comic books.
Deok Sun. You've got some nerve.
Making the Almighty Taek do that for you?
Only outsiders care about that stuff.
Do you think the kids treat him any differently?
They're childhood friends.
Hello.
Come on in!
Master Choi, you're here.
It's our pleasure to have you visit such a humble place.
It's such an honour.
All right, I want all of you to greet him.
He's our son-in-law.
What are you saying?
He's going to marry my Jin Joo!
We called dibs first! Right, Taek?
Welcome. I'm your new mother.
I'm your new father.
Stop it, already.
Go inside. All the kids are here.
Enjoy your meal.
Look at him. He's all grown up now.
He's totally like an adult!
Compared to our kids, he seems so much older!
He's still just a kid.
He only knows how to play Baduk.
He knows nothing about the world.
Geez, you...
Elements of the real world can be found in Baduk.
Do you think Taek doesn't know that?
And he's one of the best Baduk players ever.
Maybe his mind is even better than the adults.
But, how much bonus did Taek received this time?
It's the biggest competition in Korea, after all.
Fifty million won.
Oh my goodness!
Taek should buy a huge round for the kids today!
Oh my God. 5... 50 million won.
I'm speechless.
-I'm speechless too.-It's great, I'm jealous.
50 million won?
Spicy rice cakes...
Hey, have some chicken.
That's okay.
Look at how pale your face is.
Don't forget to work out once in a while.
Is this your stomach or your back? You're so thin.
I'm fine.
Hey, Taek. You're going to China again, right?
When are you coming back? Will you be back before your birthday?
Why? Do you want to throw him a birthday party?
No. Bring us some liquor.
Mum!
What's wrong with you?
Why are you asking Taek to do that? Buy it yourselves!
He's on a different level now.
They always give him expensive bottles of liquor in China.
Hey, Choi Taek.
Don't give it to your dad this time. Give it to us.
Okay?
-Where are you going?-I'm going to get a drink.
Don't you dare betray us.
All right.
Hey, ugly kid.
Just bring the drinks here, okay? Don't eat the sausages.
It's Jung Bong's.
I won't!
Land. Land is the best.
Mr. Choi, you need to buy some land.
They say that the value of land in Ilsan is rising.
Don't talk if you don't know anything, okay?
What's there to see in Ilsan?
It's in the middle of nowhere!
Rather, it's safest to put your money in the bank.
The bank's interest doesn't even cost too much.
Of course, the interest rates have decreased a bit,
so it'll only be about 15 percent or so
but even with that, you'll still accrue interest.
There's no place safer than a bank.
Are you going to put all that money in a bank?
Mr. Choi.
Buy an apartment.
A great one, in Gangnam.
What's it called?
-Umma Apartment, yes.-It's Eunma...
Yeah, Umma. Umma Apartment.
Eunma...
That's what I just said! Umma. Eunma.
I heard they cost around 50 million won.
What? That much money for an apartment?
The parcel price is about 30 million won.
Sausages...
It must be in here somewhere.
Sausages...
Anyway, congratulations, Mr. Choi!
Yes. Thank you.
Meanwhile, our daughters are busy blowing our money.
Mr. Choi is so lucky.
Mr. Kim, come and sit down.
It's still not working?
You paid so much for it, but you don't know how to use it?
If it doesn't work, just give up and come sit here!
Why do you need to put on some music in the middle of the day?
Then, let's have toast!
Congratulations!
Jin Joo.
Does that taste good?
Can you give me just a bite?
Here... Here it is!
Who could that be?
Who could that be? I think someone's here.
Mr. Choi. What did I say before?
What did I tell you to buy if you got a lot of money?
An apartment.
Here, get up. Everyone, get up!
Save it...

Do you listen to music?
He only listens to Deulgukhwa.
Oh, yes. Jeon In Kwon's solo album is out.
Do you want that?
Kim Jung Hwan, you heard him, right? Buy it.
No, thanks.

After the ceremony last night at 7pm at the Seoul Olympic Stadium,
the 1988 Seoul Olympics has finally come to an end.
The Seoul Olympics, in which 159 countries participated
had the Soviet Union in 1st place, with 55 gold medals
and East Germany in second place, with 37 gold medals.
Korea came in fourth place with 33 gold medals
and performed quite well during the Olympics.
Get up!
Why is he always shifting when he sleeps?
Get up, Sung No Eul! You have to go to school!
-What time is it?-6.30am.
Eat and wash up.
Hello? Mum!
Are you awake? What about food?
We're eating now.
How's Granny? Is Granny okay?
She's not doing so well. I'll be here for a few more days.
-Did you pack the food?-Yes.
What about dad? Is he okay?
He's fine. He's doing well.
Did you wake your older sister up?
She has to go to school early today.
Whatever. I'm sure she'll wake up on her own.
Bo Ra. Get up and eat breakfast.
Darn it, I'm going to kill you.
She says she's not eating.
I told her she has to eat.
Tell her I said that.
She said, "I told her she has to eat".
Darn it!
Tell Sung Deok Sun to stuff her own face then.
She asked you to stuff your own face.
Tell her if she's not eating, I'll wash up first!
Darn it.
She said if you're not eating, she'll wash up first.
Tell her she can do that if she has a death wish!
She said, "Do that if you have a death wish".
Is this fun for you? I ought to kill you!
Darn it! You're all psychopaths!
Mum...
Dang it!
Is there no hierarchy in this house?
Why are you washing up first?
You didn't wash up when you were supposed to!
I'm going to be late!
Yesterday, I said I'm going to wash up first, didn't I?
Then, why don't you get up early and wash up first?
What? 'You'?
Do you think you're a freaking queen or something?
'You'?
Yes, you!
I'm going insane!
Get over here!
-Let go...-What? You?
Let go! I'm telling mum!
What are you calling your elder sister? 'You'?
Let go...
You know what we're doing tonight, right?
-What?-Don't pretend that you didn't know.
We promised to go to the '19 and over' movie theatre.
I heard that it's a lot better than the last one.
Just what on earth did your mother make?
It's not even cooked.
It's better than your lousy instant noodle lunch!
You know about lunchtime, right?
What is it now?
Soccer, you jerk!
I'm not playing with Crazy Mutt. I don't want to break my ankle.
And the bad words...
He's always singling me out! He's a total psycho!
It's fine. He's a nice guy.
Why is that so?
He doesn't smoke.
Does that automatically mean that he's a nice guy?
Yes.
You're so simple. Are you an amoeba?
I already told them that you're going.
Whatever. I'm sleeping during lunchtime.
You're crazy. Why are you taking a nap
when you don't even have to do your class rep duties today?
Jung Hwan says he'll cover you.
Sun Woo...
If you're not there, who's going to score goals for us?
Tell me, who? Please?
No.
Sun Woo.
I'll kill you.
You two need to stop reading romance novels.
Aren't you tired of them by now?
What's this?
An Officer and a Princess?
"He headed straight, toward her lips".
"And he desired her luscious lips deeply".
"However, she grew flustered".
"What flustered her was not his rough lips,"
"but the feeling of his bare, rock hard chest against..."
Are you living in your fantasies?
I don't care. Give it back.
Hey, why don't you come to your senses?
There are no guys like this in real life.
I guess you like robust and tanned bare chest.
Hey. Ben Johnson. He has the best body.
Hey, hit them no matter what.
Do it when the referee isn't watching.
-Okay?-Okay.
If we lose again today, I'm going to hit all of you.
-Yes, sir...-Let's work hard.
Yes, sir...
Why aren't those jerks coming?
Hurry up and get your asses over here!
You take care of Crazy Mutt.
You know I hate guys like him, right?
Geez.
I got that goal in.
-Geez.-Did you see it? The referee didn't see it.
Over here...
This one is a bit weak. It only stops at kissing.
Throw it out.
Don't disappoint me.
Give me some raunchy passages, okay?
Deok Sun! The teacher is looking for you.
What do I do?
If you get caught, just say that they're mine.
All you did was bringing them to me. Okay?
-Deok Sun.-Yes, teacher?
Pick up the phone.
-It's from your family.-What?
Hello? Who is it?
If it weren't for Crazy Mutt, we could have won 5-0.
No, 10-0.
Hey, what time is the movie tonight?
Can we just skip the night class?
Three o'clock.
Crazy brat. We're going to miss the class then!
No, Crazy Mutt... the three of them are coming!
What?
Get out of my way.
You guys are really close.
Yes, sir. We're friends.
Hey, the students' representative.
You're good at playing football.
Why don't you be the MVP from now on?
I'm asking you to be the MVP next time.
Look at his glare, it's horrible.
What are you going to do by just glaring at me?
Are you showing off because you're the students' representative?
And what's this? Is it a necklace?
Take it off, jerk.
Students can't wear necklaces to school.
You have to set an example for the rest of the students, right?
I said, take it off, jerk. Take it off.
Take it off!
Are you deaf?
I said, take it off, jerk!
Hey, it's time for the high school drill.
We'll be in trouble if we're late, let's go.
This dumb head...
See you next time.
I'll kill you.
You dropped something.
Let's go. We have classes too.
Can't you just take that off for a little while?
My dad gave this to me. How could I take it off?
Why can't you? You can just put it back on later.
You're so frustrating.
Don't cry.
Pack your bag and come here.
Bo Ra...
It's okay. Stop crying.
Granny is in a better place now.
I told your teacher everything.
So pack your bag quickly and come home.
Bo Ra!
No Eul is coming, too.
We need to take the last bus and we don't have much time.
-Come home quickly.-Bo Ra!
Go to sleep.
It'll be a while until we get to Gokseong.
You won't be able to sleep there.
Okay. I won't cry anymore.
Can your sadness be compared to Dad's?
Don't you cry, either.
Sons should console their dads.
Let's go.
Is this really a funeral?
It feels more like a party.
This is granny's house, right?
Bo Ra.
You're here? You should eat something first.
Where did dad go?
I only see our aunts.
What if dad is sick?
Hey, Bo Ra!
Dad.
What are you doing? Say hello.
Sir! This is my eldest, Bo Ra.
She's a student in the best university
in South Korea, Seoul University.
Hello.
You're Bo Ra?
When did she grow up to be a lady?
You're so pretty and you even study well!
We couldn't send her to cram school
or get her a tutor because we don't have enough money.
Even so, she studied hard all on her own
and got accepted to the Seoul University.
And this is my second eldest, Deok Sun.
She's the one who was on TV!
This is Deok Sun!
I saw her on TV!
After this is over, let's take a photo together!
Yes...
I heard that you need to be really competitive
so that you can be the one holding the picket signs.
Since you're on the international television and all.
I heard hundreds and thousands competed for that spot!
That's amazing.
And the one on the end is my youngest, No Eul.
He's more filial than he seems.
He looks kind.
Sir. It's me, Jae Young.
You must be feeling very sad.
Oh my, Jae Young! You punk!
It's really been a while!
You look like you're doing well yourself nowadays!
No, sir.
Sit down, and let's have a drink.
-Yes, I'll have it there.-Okay...
Bo Ra. Is dad a cyborg?
How could he not shed even one tear?
-Have some.-Okay.
-It's really been a long time.-Yes...
This soup is nice, it's thick.
Are all adults like that? Don't they get sad?
Be quiet. Just keep frying these.
Our aunts, too. It's their mother.
Is this the time to be showing off her ring?
I told you, it's white gold!
White gold? Please. This is so much better.
Just look at the design.
I feel so bad for granny.
Take the younger kids and go to sleep.
I'll take care of this.
Why isn't Uncle here yet?
We gave him a call as soon as granny passed out.
He couldn't even see her before she's dying.
I'm sure he'll be here tomorrow.
United States is not that near, you know?
And there's nothing that can be done if he can't come.
I feel so bad for granny.
Stop crying.
You're going too far.
What? I can't even cry if I want to?
You little...
Stop it. Other people are watching.
But, what if the cops are there?
You know how busy Korean police officers are?
Why would they waste time being there?
That's nonsense.
Why are the cops...
Was there a thief?
It's probably because today's the premiere.
-It'll be okay tomorrow.-Are we coming back tomorrow?
-Of course!-Let's go.
Where? Back to school?
-Are you crazy? No. Taek's place.-Why?
"An erotic love tale among mulberry trees",
"as sweet as honey".
I borrowed a steamy one.
Taxi!
"Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle, shrug, shrug."
"Straight, straight, shrug, shrug."
"Lalalala lala hop hop hop"
"Lalalala lalalala hop hop"
"Lalalala lala hop hop hop"
"Lalalala lalalala hop hop"
"Seeing the sky."
"Seeing the land."
"Seeing the sky."
"Seeing the land."
I'm off!
Sun Woo!
You're going to be late again today, right?
Mum, when are you going to Gokseong?
Gokseong? Tomorrow.
I'll be going with everyone in town.
Sun Woo. Your lunch will be cold by dinner time.
Have some bowl noodles too. How much do you need?
I only need 500 won.
Here's your lunch.
Eat it with some cup noodles. How much is it?
10,000 won.
Do you have a death wish?
I'm off.
Mother. Please just give me 100 won.
With just 100 won,
I can play all day with an Olympic legend.
Go and study!
Mother, please give me 100 won!
Here he is.
Dong Il, wake up and have some breakfast.
Let's have some meal.
Let's eat.
Eat up.
Put the rice in the soup.
You didn't make any seasoned clams?
You didn't make pancakes or oysters too?
Eat it while it's still warm.
You know what I like.
This soup is great.
Rich kids are really on a different level.
It's kimchi.
What? You only have kimchi?
Let's see what else.
Curry and rice.
Let's eat that for dinner.
I think I will. I had curry for breakfast, too.
Side dishes? None.
Do we have any soup?
No, we do not.
Then...
Kimchi fried rice.
Hey, have some of mine.
Sausages.
No one could possibly make sausage taste bad, right?
Shall I try one?
It's so salty!
What does your mum make every day?
I think this tastes fine.
It's just an eggshell. It's fine.
No one could gain weight at your house, no matter how hard they tried.
It's so salty.
Don't forget 'round two' today.
The cops are probably going to be there today, too.
That's why I came prepared.
You guys are just nerds with absolutely no street smart.
But, how about dinner? My mum packed me extra food.
It's all eggshell-encrusted sausages, anyway.
I'll buy you food today.
Hamburgers. Is that okay?
Of course.
We don't have much time. Strip!
Three soldiers.
Salute!
Hey, wait. I have to go to the bathroom.
What? So soon?
You crazy jerk.
"Jingle jingle jingle jingle shrug shrug"
"Straight straight shrug shrug"
Sun Woo.
He wants you to come over here, too.
Look at uncle. He's acting like nothing's wrong.
Since it's not his mum.
Even his wife, the daughter, is acting fine.
So, why would he be any different?
"If the boatman's boat song is glimmering"
Bo Ra. Why are they singing?
Way to go, you little brats!
You're in the third year and you have important exams coming up!
Are you brats out of your mind?
At this rate, do you think you'll make it into college?
You really must be out of your minds.
How dare you come here?
Geez... these jerks.
Jerk.
Look here. Isn't this my son?
You must be very busy. What brings you here?
-Hello, father.-Yes...
I'm here to experience the cultures of life.
What did you say?
Cultures of life? Why aren't you studying?
Father...
Who's your father?
I'm sure your father died of frustration!
You jerk!
If you can't study well, don't make troubles.
I should just kick you out! You useless little...
Consider yourselves saved, thanks to Sun Woo.
Got that?
Come to the teacher's lounge after classes tomorrow.
-Got that?-Yes, sir...
I'll see you at home later.
Don't you dare think about coming home tonight.
-I respect you, father!-This jerk!
Hey, students' representative.
Why don't we chat for a while?
Thanks.
How can I ever repay you?
-Upperclassman, it's not like that.-Back off.
Hey, Mr. President.
I said, thank you.
Look at this jerk.
His upperclassman is talking to him...
What's this?
I told you to take it off.
Take it off, jerk!
This jerk...
That... that belonged to Sun Woo's father.
He got it as a keepsake when his father passed away.
So?
What are you going to do?
Can you disrespect your elders just because you have no dad?
Are you proud that you don't have a dad or something?
Are you showing off, jerk?
Are you out of your mind, you crazy jerk?
Do you think you can say whatever you like with that mouth of yours?
Choose your words before you speak!
I guess Uncle isn't coming. It's almost 10pm.
Tomorrow's the wake,
so if he can't make it today, he won't come.
Dad. Get some sleep.
My pretty and kind daughter...
Your dad is fine.
I'm fine.
Dong Il.
Our poor mother, brother!
Our poor mother!
Why did she have to go so soon?
Why?
We can't see her anymore!
I want to see mum.
Brother! Why did you come so late?
We waited for so long!
You couldn't even say goodbye to her.
Mum wanted to see you so much!
The adults had to keep it bottled up.
I feel so bad for our mother!
What were you doing that you had to come so late?
They were just busy being adults and they acted strong
due to the pressure that came with their age.
Adults feel pain, too.
I can't go on.
I can't go on without my mother!
Brother!
Sister!
Sit down.
Give me your hand.
Have you been doing well?
Is your business doing well?
Yes.
-Is everyone doing well now?-Yes.
I'll get going now.
Jung Hwan. Can I sleep over at your place tonight?
I don't want to face my dad.
Don't you think he'd know about it, you idiot?
What do we do about your necklace?
I'll just stop wearing it.
What about your face, though?
Just worry about yourself.
Bye.
Even so, it's fine to be deluded sometimes.
If you can make your mum happy
by making her think that her cooking is good,
it's easy enough to eat disgusting lunches.
I'm home!
Are you home, my son?
-My dear son.-I'm going to go wash up. Go to sleep.
Sun Woo,
you've finished your lunch box. Were they that good?
Yes, it was delicious.
There's no need to force the harsh truth
onto a small bit of happiness.
Sometimes, you need an illusion to be happy.
Another victory for Choi Taek 6-dan,
has been reported in China.
Yesterday at 6pm, the Tong Yang Cup
took place at the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing.
Choi Taek 6-dan beat Jeo Bi Pyung 9-dan
with 343 moves.
Choi Taek arrived at Gimpo Airport this morning.
In order to celebrate his 18th birthday...
I'm sure Taek's mother is so happy up there in Heaven.
What a good son he is.
Oh, please. Death is the end of it.
What good can filial deeds bring after your parent dies?
You must do it when they're still alive.
Is it a blackout?
I think it's just the bulb.
I'll go buy one. Give me some money.
On your way back, buy 200 won's worth of bean sprouts too.
We can have some soup tomorrow morning.
Don't go drinking instead, honey.
All right.
Mr. Choi!
Are you heading home?
Hello, sir.
Hey, Taek. Can you be my drinking buddy today?
Our Taek is an adult now.
When did you become so mature?
You're all grown now.
Sir.
I heard that your mother passed away.
I'm sorry. I couldn't even visit.
Why are you bringing that up?
I'm going to start crying.
That's right.
Mothers tend to be the ones you miss the most,
whether they're dead or alive.
Gosh, I'm missing my mum.
Taek.
When do you miss your mother the most?
Every day.
I miss my mum every single day.
An adult-like child is just one without complaints.
It's just that they've adapted to the world of adults
and they've grown used to the illusions around them.
An adult-like child is just a child.
Confusion is short, but a misunderstanding lasts a long time.
That's why illusions offer freedom,
while misunderstandings chain you down.
"Happy birthday to you..."
"Happy birthday, dear Taek!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
You should have come home earlier.
Look here.
Change into something else. Are you a grandpa?
I thought I'd die of starvation waiting for you.
We even called you!
Blow it now. Hurry, blow it. Hurry!
1, 2, 3.
This is your present.
-"Jeon In Kwon"-We're done now, right?
Where is it?
-Take it out!-Where is it?
Take it out...
Hey, let's do this later. Where is it?
Let's watch TV.
-Hurry up and take it out!-Where is it?
Hey, let me see. Where is it?
Hey, lower the volume!
Taek, you're not going to eat all this, right? I'm taking it home!
-Where is it?-It's obviously in his bag!
-Bag! Give me that bag.-Open it.
It's a good one! Nice job!
Mum! These kids are drinking!
Stop screaming!
They're drinking!
Taek was the last one to move here.
After his mother passed away,
they left her home town, which was full of her scent,
and came to Seoul.
We don't know why this father and son
chose this block in particular,
but what I am sure of
is that the four troublemakers of this block
found a new friend.
Taek was a quiet kid.
So, the boisterous kids on this block
may have been too much for him.
Even so, Taek was always with us.
Even when we were doing mischievous things
or doing pathetic things,
he was always by our side.
Of course, he always had that expressionless face.
But even so, he was always with us.
Still, the block
creates friendships just through the power of time.
That is how the quiet child
and the four noisy kids became friends.
And that's how the five of us became friends.
Seriously.
Just by drinking this?
I thought you guys could handle your liquors.
Just try it, then.
You'll die.
Who do you think I am?
I feel like dying!
What do I do?
She's pretty. Joey Wang.
There's no such girl in real life.
Who do you think is the prettiest?
Joey Wang.
There's no such woman in real life.
I've also fallen for a girl at Jung Yi High School.
The girl with the short hair and the pale face?
How did you guys know?
Everyone has a crush on her.
Then, there's another one that I saw at the library.
She's a Third Year student with long hair.
She goes to a performing arts school and wears a white cardigan, right?
You little punks, you don't study and you only look at girls?
Who else has a pretty face?
-Also...-Do you have another one?
Deok Sun is getting cuter these days, isn't she?
Yes. A little.
Hey, Taek. What about you?
-Hey, Jung Hwan.-All of you must be crazy!
You're all out of your minds.
Are you all drunk?
You've all had too much.
Gosh! You farted!
What are you doing?
Stop that!
Why did you have to fart on us?
Why are you coughing?
What is this?
You read it, didn't you?
-Read what?-My diary!
-No.-Yes, you did!
I told you, I didn't. Stop yelling.
It's coming out of my mouth, so I can do what I want!
Be quiet!
-You read it, didn't you?-I didn't!
Mum!
You read it, didn't you?
Be quiet.
-You did.-I didn't.
"At the hour when everything is draped in darkness,"
"and therefore, becomes a lonelier time".
"At this time, when the world is asleep,"
"my feelings for you are still with the night..."
I'm going to kill you! Hey!
"They say that feelings are supposed to be expressed".
"That's why I have to become brave and..."
Gosh!
Mum! Deok Sun has someone that she likes!
She even gave him chocolates!
How did I write these words if I was sane at that time?
I want to throw it away, but I have no idea where to throw it.
I'm hesitating because I don't want someone else to find it.
It would be so embarrassing if somebody sees this.
You were totally a rebellious kid back then.
Why did you spend time with so many guys?
You read my diary, didn't you?
I can't believe this.
Why did you do that?
You read my diary, right?
No.
-Yes, you did!-I didn't.
Hey. Be honest with me.
How can you say 'hey' to your husband?
If you can say it, why can't I?
-You did read it, didn't you?-I didn't!
Who did you give the chocolates to? It wasn't me.
Gosh.
Why did you read someone else's diary?
-Why?-Who did you give it to?
I gave it to you!
What? Do you have a death wish?
It wasn't me!
Yes, it was. It wasn't you?
Yes, it was.
I'll come back after a smoke.
-It was you!-I told you, it wasn't me!
It was him.
It's been almost 30 years, so I guess he forgot about it.
He was so smart back then, too.
"Today, I looked foolish, too"
"I'm here to look somebody up again"
"But nobody, nobody"
Jin Joo.
Does it taste good?
"Today, I looked foolish, too"
"I'm here to look somebody up again"
Where are you going?
We're going to eat some spicy rice cakes!
"But nobody, nobody"
"Your lonely apartment"
Goodbye.
"But nobody, nobody"
Your sister is going on a field trip tomorrow!
"Kyungju Station"
I don't know!
"Suncheon High School"
Deok Sun. Do you want to eat noodles?
Deok Sun! Sung Deok Sun...
Sun Woo is going to break the door.
Bye.
What are you going to do?
-What?-I think he likes you.
Let's go, Sun Woo.
