Deok Sun! Isn't it time for your father to be home?
What time is it now?
It's going to be a while.
-Do you want me to trim more of these, mum?-Yeah!
Deok Sun, I think dad's going to be late today.
It's a mess over there in Jongro.
As the police force shot tear bombs,
they scattered to Sejongno and Seoul Station.
Abolish it...
Geez, really... You can't ever go around doing things like that.
Just study hard, okay?
Okay.
Thank you so much, sir.
Hey, young man...
Come over here.
Take this and buy yourself something delicious.
What are you doing? Hurry up and take it.
Make sure you wash up before you go home, though.
Go home.
Deok Sun, set the table! I'm bringing the food over!
Okay!
It hurts!
Oh no! Mum, are you okay?
Let me see your foot.
-Oh my! It's bleeding!-It hurts!
Get a Band-Aid!
I'm fine. It's nothing. Go ahead and eat.
Honey, you're hungry, right?
Why do you always transfer at Jonggak Station?
Students are always protesting over there.
What am I supposed to do then?
Other places are even worse!
Jongno, Euljiro, Daehangno are also full of protesting students.
At this rate, it'll be difficult to get the tear gas out of my suit.
Even my eyes are stinging.
Oh, yes...
Where's Bo Ra? Is she not home yet?
Sung Bo Ra is quite busy nowadays.
Yes, that's right.
She must be having a hard time studying.
Well, it's the duty of a college student to study hard.
You two.
Get your head in the game
and study hard like her, okay?
I'm home.
Bo Ra, you're home?
Come and eat. You haven't eaten yet, right?
Come on in!
What's this smell?
Hey! Are you a protester?
Stop right there!
Come over here.
This little brat is going around protesting!
Did you lose your mind?
Do you want to drive me mad?
What's with you? It's none of your business!
What... what did you say?
Of course it's my business, punk!
How dare an Education major go around protesting?
Have you completely lost your mind?
Do you think I worked my fingers to the bone
so that you could go around protesting?
Bo Ra, hurry up and say you're sorry!
Are you crazy? Why should I? What did I do wrong?
Look at this girl, talking as if she did something great.
-Dad...-I should just kill you!
Bo Ra, tell your dad you won't do that again.
Hurry up, Bo Ra.
Geez! What do you know, dad?
Bo Ra....
Bo Ra, what about dinner?
At least eat something before you go to sleep!
I'll make the fried egg that you like so much.
Fried egg, my butt!
Are you crazy?
Crazy wench.
Even a spoonful of rice fed to her mouth is a waste.
How dare an Education major go around protesting?
Oh my, oh my! Father, mother!
Your granddaughter has lost her mind. She went on a protest
and has put our family at risk.
She's well educated! Darn it!
Way to go!
I ought to kill her!

What? Bo Ra did what?
She's brave. What would happen if she got caught?
I have no idea who she takes after in my family.
It's fine!
Which college student doesn't protest nowadays?
All of them do it.
At least she's not the one standing in front. Don't worry.
She's right.
You know, the ones who go like this at the front.
As long as she's not one of them, she's fine.
Don't worry too much.
She's the type that makes me worry.
Even though her father is getting so worked up over it,
she didn't even think of apologising at all.
Instead, she glared at him and talked back at him.
Seeing that, Bo Ra isn't close with her dad.
Isn't the eldest daughter usually close to her dad?
No, they are close!
It just seems that way, but that's not the case.
That girl, Bo Ra is the problem!
Her father isn't the issue!
She doesn't act amiably and has no charm at all.
I prefer Deok Sun more than Bo Ra,
even though she's often ranked last in school.
Bo Ra terrifies me.
Just wait and see.
Bo Ra is going to become really successful one day.
She's not an average kid.
You can say that again. She's really not a normal kid.
I'm not asking much.
I just wish that she won't be kicked out of school.
That young man seems to be quite popular lately.
He is handsome, tall and muscular.
-Who is he?-That guy.
I bet a bunch of kids are going to try and imitate him.
I bet someone's going to end up breaking something.
Nebok. (Undergarments)
3, 2, 1. Start!
Hey, Sun Woo. Can you do it one more time?
Hey, where are you going?
Yes, he just arrived.
Get out of the way!
Jin Joo, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all.
Jin Joo. Give me a kiss.
I think I'll get better soon if you do that.
Jin Joo, "Run, Honey" is on TV right now.
Oh, yeah!
You can leave too, mum.
I just stretched a ligament. I'm fine.
Go and do what you need to do.
Is there anything that you want to eat?
Am I a kid? No, there isn't.
I'm making beef bone soup.
Beef bone soup.
Mum!
Is there anything else that you want to eat?
I'll buy you anything.
I'm fine. I don't need anything.
Give me 300 won of bean sprouts and a piece of tofu.
"2,000 won"
That's 700 won all together.
Why not buy a banana drink?
I heard that Sun Woo got hurt.
How much is one?
2,000 won.
You should splurge a little when your child is sick!
When will you ever buy it again?
Jin Joo! Mum bought some banana drinks!
Really?
Can I have a sip?
Is it that good?
What about your older brother? Did you give him one?
Good girl.
Deok Sun...
Go home for today. It's late.
You're worried about me, even in this state?
He's not worried about you. He's worried about himself.
You need to leave if he's going to get any sleep.
Aren't you going home?
What are you two going to do when I leave?
How's that any of your business?
Stop arguing and go home, both of you.
I don't even have any money.
Do I need to borrow from Mi Ran, again?
Every time the timing is so bad, seriously.
When will the day come
when I have a thousand of these in the storage shed?
"Episode 5: Preparing for Winter"
-Who ordered the charcoal briquettes?-Me!
Yes! Me, me! We ordered them!
-Yes! Welcome. I'm coming.-We're coming...
I'm coming.
Yes, over here!
Closer...
Okay...
I'll go and get some drinks for all of you!
I can't believe that such a day has come.
It looks like today is the day the briquettes arrive.
How many is that?
A thousand.
Oh my! You really look like a rich woman now!
How much did that cost?
I wonder if there will ever come a day
that I can have tons of these stacked up.
What are you saying? Up until three years ago, I had to use firewood.
That's right.
Now I remember. You went through a hard time too.
It hasn't been long, but I forgot about that already.
Don't make dinner tonight.
Why not?
I made abalone porridge.
I heard that Sun Woo hurt his leg.
Why did you go through the trouble of making that?
Then, can you give me a little bit more?
I'm expecting a guest tonight.
Who?
The kids' grandmother.
What? Why is that wench coming to your house?
How much is she planning to upset you this time?
It's not like she's coming to see me.
She's coming to see the kids.
It doesn't even affect me anymore.
She treated you so badly after her son died!
She said that you devoured her precious son alive!
And she said all sorts of bad things to you.
Is she nobility or something?
It's not like you owe her money or something.
When I think of that day, I get so angry.
Is she the only one who lost her son?
She has no consideration for her daughter-in-law
who became a widow at a young age!
She's the one who cut ties with you, calling you an unlucky wench.
So why is she coming to see you, now? It makes me so angry.
It's fine! Why are you getting so worked up?
Even though I'm a bystander, I'm so frustrated by her actions.
And you just stood there like a fool.
It's so frustrating!
What good would it do if I did say something?
It will just wear my jaw out.
It doesn't affect me anymore.
I'm going to think of her as a stranger.
But, is this what you're going to wear?
What's wrong with these?
Don't you have any new clothes?
It's fine! Appearances aren't important.
I don't feel embarrassed looking like this.
I'm really not going to care anymore.
Put this on.
-Can I? How nice.-Wait, it doesn't suit you.
Stop it! I'm wearing it!
All right, then.
Sun Woo, if there's anything you need,
call me right away. Okay?
Yes. Goodbye.
Are you out of rice?
I'm going to buy some today.
-You should have...-I'll take care of it.
Why is Sun Woo so skinny?
Compared to last time, he's getting skinnier.
Don't you care about your children?
And you only have those clothes to wear?
Look at you, you look so dull.
I'm sure any incoming luck would go running at the sight of you.
And why is it so chilly in here?
Don't you have any charcoal briquettes left?
What if the kids catch a cold?
What exactly do you do around the house?
Do you bring any money home, or go to work?
After you devoured my son,
you receive his pension and live in my house
and you can't even raise the kids well?
We're getting along just fine.
And I'm raising my son just fine, too.
Don't worry about it.
How could I not, when you're living in this state?
You are intentionally showing this to me, aren't you?
Are you showing me how an ill-fated woman lives?
What did he ever see in you?
What a terrible fate.
What crime did I commit in my past life to be associated with you?
Why do you have to say things like that?
You know,
I'm my mother's precious daughter, too.
If my mother knew that I was subjected to
this kind of talk from someone,
I'm sure she'd cry tears of blood.
At the very least, for my mother's sake,
I don't want to listen to these harsh words anymore.
Mother-in-law,
don't ever come here again.
My kids...
Even if I have to shave my head,
I'll do whatever it takes to raise my kids well.
Even if I can't buy them branded shoes,
I won't let them starve to death
and I'll buy them pretty clothes.
I will give them a life that no one would consider shameful.
So, mother-in-law,
don't ever come back here again!
So that the three of us can live in peace!
Please stop coming here!
I won't ever agree to see you again.
Even if you come to see us, I won't open the door!
You got that?
Buy the kids some clothes with this.
It's okay.
Did anyone say that this is for you?
I'm giving it to my little ones.
How dare she...
I don't need it.
I'll buy their clothes on my own.
Goodbye.
I feel so much better now.
Sun Woo! Eat this before you go to sleep.
Jung Hwan's mother made abalone porridge for you.
Stop sweeping the street!
Are you sweeping it because you're lonely?
Hello.
Is Taek home?
-Did he come back yesterday?-Yes.
Dad, the water heater is not working.
Hello.
Taek... You haven't had breakfast yet, right?
No.
I made some abalone porridge, so come and take some.
I've put some aside for you.
Thank you.
You have a microwave at home, right?
Yes.
Just keep it in the refrigerator.
When you want to eat it, just heat it up.
You have small bowls at home, right?
Not the glass ones, but ceramic.
Put two scoops of it into a small bowl like this...
It's fine. I'll call your dad. You may go now.
See you.
What brings you here so early in the morning?
-Did you get home last night?-Yes.
Aren't you going to school today?
Hey, today's Sunday.
I'm so jealous of you.
-Jung Hwan, go buy one square of tofu.-Okay.
-Let's go.-Thank you!
Open your eyes, Special Unit.
It's Taek. Hi, Taek.
Oh, hi.
-Did you not get any sleep?-Yes.
Deok Sun!
When did you get back, Taek?
Last night.
What brings you here, when you've hurt your leg?
Deok Sun, can I borrow your Korean-English dictionary?
Mine? You came to borrow mine? With that leg?
You don't have a Korean-English dictionary?
Yes, I don't.
Is that right?
Well, yeah. Hers is completely new.
It's better to borrow it from her
instead of spending money on a new one.
Shut up.
Is your leg okay?
I just stretched a ligament. I'm fine.
Wait here, Sun Woo. I'll go and get it for you.
No, it's fine. I can walk that much.
I'm fine...
I'm fine.
The other side. Would you come to the other side?
I'm fine...
Deok Sun, I'm fine!
I'm fine...
Hey, watch the stairs.
Mum, the room is cold.
Did the briquettes go out?
Your father put it out early this morning.
I re-ignited it not too long ago. So, just wait a bit.
Jung Bong, pass me a plate.
Go back to your room.
Honey, the toilet's clogged again.
Set the table.
-Lower the volume!-Okay.
Mum, did you see the newspaper?
-Mother!-What?
I'm bleeding!
Where?
Honey, the steamed egg is overflowing. Come quickly!
Turn off the flame then!
Mum, this is yesterday's newspaper.
I turned the flame off!
But, it's still overflowing! Come here! Quick!
Mum, what about today's newspaper?
Where's today's newspaper?
The egg is exploding! Come quickly!
You're not going to die!
Why do you only ever treat me this way?
I ought to...
Oh my. Did the sun rise from the west today?
What are you talking about?
Today is Sunday but Deok Sun woke up early
and had breakfast on time.
Dad, I go to the study room nowadays.
I have to head straight there after breakfast.
Wow.
It seems like my daughter is trying to study hard.
How long have you been going there? You never even told me about this!
Today's her first day.
She hasn't even gone once yet.
Don't you know that getting started is half the battle?
I'm done. I'm going there now.
You didn't know that she has a chronic illness, right?
A chronic illness? What do you mean by that?
What kind of chronic illness does Deok Sun have?
A chronic illness?
What are you talking about?
What chronic illness does our Deok Sun have?
She's in a food coma.
It has been a long while since she got it.
By the way, is Bo Ra still sleeping?
Where is she?
She went to school.
She has finals starting tomorrow.
She went out early to queue for the library seat.
What if she went out early to go to another protest?
No! Why can't you trust people?
It's true. She took a bunch of books with her.
That girl is so popular lately!
What's her name, again?
Lee Mi Yeon.
How great would it be if she is my older sister?
How is she so different from Deok Sun, when they're the same age?
Hey. That girl is the same age as Deok Sun?
Yes. She's 18, just like Deok Sun.
Someone looks like that, while others...
Hey, you brat. What's wrong with our Deok Sun?
In my eyes, Deok Sun is so much prettier!
He's right. I also think that Deok Sun looks better.

Switch it back when Little House On The Prairie starts.
Kim Jung Bong. stop spilling crumbs everywhere!
Clean them up!
Honey, take your feet off the TV! It'll get dirty!
Or at least, put some socks on!
Geez! What a bunch of animals.
I wonder why the ghost didn't take all of you to hell.
Move your foot!
Hello?
Hi, Mi Sook.
Why did she go up to the mountains again?
It's not like chestnuts are even worth that much.
Okay, I'll come.
Why isn't she going to the hospital?
Just wait. I'll take her.
Okay, bye.
Your grandmother sprained her ankle.
-Did she hurt badly?- I don't know.
She won't go to the hospital, so I have to go see her.
Let's go together. It's been a while since I last visited her.
Stay here, honey.
Are you going to let the kids starve to death?
I'm going to be away for two days.
If you want to live, heed my words.
Got it?
Panties, singlets and stockings are here. Got it?
What should you do if the briquette died?
-Use a mini-briquette.-Correct!
What do you do when the briquettes are stuck together?
-Kitchen knife.-That's right!
This is beef.
You just have to saute this in the frying pan.
These greens are going to go bad, so have them for lunch and dinner.
As for the salad and the black beans, put them in smaller bowls.
Got it?
I have a question.
Can't we just order food?
I said, cook on your own!
I even made all of the side dishes already!
Make sure you check the gas.
Flush down the toilet all the way, or it'll clog.
And you have to eat the greens by today, okay?
Jung Hwan, use your hand to check the water level when cooking rice.
Up to here, okay?
Okay... Just go. I'm sure your mother is waiting!
Have a safe trip, mother.
Geez. My feet won't move.
Oh yes, Jung Hwan. I've ironed your school uniform
and training suit and I've put them in your room.
Hurry up and go! We'll take care of ourselves.
Hurry up and leave this block, already.
Enjoy yourself there.
Go...
Also...
"Don't Sleep! Study Room"
Stop sleeping!
How many hours have you slept already?
If you're going to be like this, go home and sleep.
What time is it now?
The sun has already set, girl.
It's 7pm now.
I'm going to stop by at my house for a while.
Why? Did something happen at your house?
It's dinner time.
The protests against the current ruling party
as well as the previous President are still continuing.
400 college students from Seoul Student Association and Student Union
invaded the Institute of Politics of the ruling party
in Garakdong, Songpagu at around 3pm today
and have been occupying the rooftop of the main hall
for the last four hours.
The students prepared...
Why are they doing this?
What do they want?
Don't they know how much they're hurting their parents by doing this?
Oh yes, Deok Sun.
You studied hard at the study room today, right?
Good. You know...
I don't even wish for you to do as well as your sister.
I'll be happy if you did just half as well. Just half.
Then I'll run around the neighbourhood 200 times.
Just look at your sister.
She worked so hard to get into college,
and yet she still studies so hard.
So, make sure you come to your senses too,
and study really hard, okay?
No Eul, you just have to stay healthy. Okay?
What's wrong?
25 students including Noh Kwang Soo,
the leader of the student association were arrested
and the police are going to extend the detention...
The students occupied the rooftop and shouted...
What do we do? Oh my God...
What will Bo Ra do?
I should go outside.
Where's my jacket?
Hold on. Where's my jacket?
My goodness. Bo Ra, it's fine.
Thank God you're safe, Bo Ra.
Thank God.
You little... Get over here!
-Let me go!-Come here!
You crazy wench.
Are you actively trying to ruin your life?
Will you finally come to your senses after I pass out?
If you get arrested while protesting,
you're going to be blacklisted forever.
Once you're in the list, the whole family will be in trouble!
It's not only your life you're ruining.
Your mother.
What are you going to do about your mother?
What about your mum who put all her hopes on you?
Do you think that she would live a normal life?
Do you think so?
And yet, you still choose to protest?
No Eul. Get me the scissors.
I'm going to cut off all her hair so she can't set a single foot outdoors!
Hurry up and get it!
Bo Ra... Hurry up and say you're sorry.
Tell your father that you're sorry!
Why should I? What did I do wrong?
What did this wench just say to me?
-I'll kill you!-Honey, please!
She won't do it anymore!
You seriously believe that?
Forget school.
Go to your room and stay there. Got that?
Until you tell me that you'll never do it ever again
and apologise to me,
don't you dare take a single step out of your room.
Got that? And you!
Until she apologises,
don't you even dare give her a glass of water.
Got that?
Hurry up and apologise! Sung Bo Ra!
I didn't do anything wrong.
What did you say? Get back here!
Honey...
Heed my words. All right?
If anyone even gives her a glass of water,
I'm going to flip the whole house upside down!
Whether she is dead or alive, let her be.
-Got it?-Okay.
Let her be...
That wench.
We sacrificed so much for her.
Even though we scrimped and saved when it comes to our own things,
we never hesitated to give her the best we possibly can.
I treat her like a smart and precious child.
We used to praise her
in front of the others to encourage her.
She's aware of all that,
and yet, she has the gall to do this to her parents?
I heard that all the seniors were captured already.
What if they take Bo Ra away, too?
What if she gets a criminal record?
If so, then all of Korea's college students will have criminal records.
Don't worry.
Even if she does get caught,
she will be released after writing a confession.
What's that?
It's...
It's basically a document saying that you're sorry.
It's this thing you write to formally apologise.
If she just writes that, she'll be released right away.
Oh no!
My older sister is Sung Bo Ra, okay?
She'll never say that what she did was wrong.
You know how she is.
Of course I do.
But you said that she made it home.
She'll be fine then.
Oh, you're here?
What are you two doing by yourselves?
What?
What are you two doing?
What do you mean? We're just conversing here.
You know, talking.
What's with you? I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
I'm going to the study room.
Apparently, she's been going to the study room lately.
Do you know what time it is? It's late.
I'll be back before 12am.
I'm someone who has willpower, too.
No matter how ugly you are,
it's still dangerous to go out after 12 because of trafficking.
Just give up on college,
like me.
The study room is very close.
I'll be back before 12am. Bye!
Bye, friend!
Yes, this is Master Choi Taek's home.
Yes...
Who was that? Is it from Baduk Club?
Your dad.
He says he's hungry, and he wants you to cook for him.
What's wrong with this?
My younger brother.
Grandfather once said, all things expand and shrink.
If you put warm water below and cold water on the top,
the two different temperatures will work in harmony.
We can make them come apart like this.
My son,
is the rice ready?
Shall I lend you a hand?
Dad, this is burning!
It's cold over there. Come and sleep over here.
Don't you worry whether I die or not.
What if she leaves in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping?
I'm going to guard this door, no matter what.
So, go ahead and sleep, honey.
Speaking of which, Deok Sun isn't home yet?
It's almost midnight! She should come home earlier!
Did she fall asleep?
I'm home!
Hi, honey. Come home earlier next time.
Okay.
Sun Woo! Breakfast!
Mum, are we going to eat in here?
It's okay. We can eat in the living room.
It's warmer in here.
Let's eat in here.
Mum, why aren't you eating?
I will.
What poor side dishes we have. It's all vegetables.
I should make you some meat dishes.
It's fine! I don't even like meat that much.
It's delicious.
Who is that? It's so early.
Yes?
Mum! What is it?
Is he badly hurt?
Tae Soo has always been clumsy.
Which hospital?
You don't need to! I can take care of him!
You don't have to come all the way from Kimhae.
You have to tell to Tae Soo to get married quickly!
You're coming to my house right now?
You're at the terminal?
You're getting off in Seoul now, mum?
I have some things to give you
and I wanted to see Sun Woo and Jin Joo.
So, I'll be dropping by for a while.
It'll only take me 30 minutes to get there by bus.
You don't need to come and pick me up!
I'll take a taxi and I'll be right there.
I'll just stop by and have a glass of drink.
You don't need to worry. Not one bit.
See you soon!
You're not going to work today, dad?
He's taking the day off.
He's doing it to make sure that Bo Ra doesn't escape.
Even so, we should give her some food.
She didn't even have dinner last night.
I told you, no!
Until she gets on her knees and apologises, I'm not budging.
I worked so hard to send her to a good college
and this is how she repays me.
She won't come to her senses unless she starves.
Don't you dare sneak her anything. Got it?
Dad, the briquettes went out.
No, they didn't. I just changed it early this morning.
It's way too cold.
The fire's fine. What could be the problem?
Grandfather once said this,
there are two different types of briquette boilers.
The type that uses the briquette as a direct source of heat
and the type that uses briquettes to heat water,
which in turn heats rooms.
The type that our home uses is the latter.
If the briquette is fine but the room is still cold...
in that instance, the problem lies with...
this.
The possibility that this tank has run out of water
is close to 100 percent.
Jung Hwan.
What's for breakfast today?
It's your favourite.
Is it, perhaps...
instant noodles?
Lay something on the table!
Where is dad?
Dad! Let's eat breakfast!
Children, the toilet is clogged again.
I just lost my appetite.
I tried using the plunger, but it wouldn't work.
Grandfather once said this,
If the floor is full of faeces, the pressure needs to be lowered.
I have a good feeling about this one.
Stop spouting nonsense and do something about this.
I'll leave the rest to you,
Mr. Thornton.
Sun Woo! Your grandmother is coming!
It's an emergency!
Change into something else
and clear the table! Don't eat!
Here, this one.
Wash your face first!
I have to go to school, though.
Oh yes.
I'll use only a little and give this right back!
These, too!
Jung Bong! Can you help me?
Geez, I dropped it.
Oh my God, you scared me!
It's finished.
Jung Bong, thank you so much.
I'll put everything back later.
You can take your time with that.
I think this is pretty much perfect now.
I won't be caught at this rate, right?
These are sesame seeds,
and these are senna seeds.
Make it into tea and give it to Sun Woo.
I heard it's good for one's health.
Mum, they sell this stuff in Seoul, too. Why did you bring it here?
Mum, have some food before you leave.
I called Tae Soo and he seems fine.
Things like that happen when you're a cab driver.
You can take your time heading over there.
No, I have to hurry and go there.
Jin Joo! Granny's going now!
Already?
Mum, it hasn't even been 10 minutes since you got here!
Stay a bit longer!
What good would it do for me to stay here any longer?
I'm just getting more worried about you.
Don't come outside to see me off. I'm leaving now.
Mum! You should stay a bit longer!
Geez! You really don't listen to me!
Where's your bathroom?
I kept drinking so much juice, so...
Over there.
I told you, go back inside!
You're in such a hurry!
Hello, Sun Woo's grandmother!
Yes! How are you? You're doing well, right?
Yes. Are you leaving already, madam?
My son hurt his leg,
so I have to go see him at the hospital.
-Then... I'm off!-Okay.
I'm leaving now!
Have a safe trip home, madam!
-Thank you!-Bye, mum.
She came here for the first time in a while,
but she didn't even stay the night?
She came here because of your brother's leg injury? Is he badly hurt?
I don't think so.
She probably just came to see how I was doing.
She was probably curious about my situation.
She worries that I don't eat properly and such.
She thinks that I'm not aware of that.
Is that right?
Madam, look at me.
I've made such a big joke since this morning.
Luckily, she didn't notice it.
Oh yes. Is Bo Ra okay?
No, she's not okay.
Her father didn't even go to work today
because he's watching her like a hawk.
I'm angry because he doesn't allow her to eat.
Eat.
Put it here.
That's all the side dishes you have for me?
Yes. Just eat it.
You should at least make me a fried egg.
We don't have any eggs!
What about you? Are you not eating with me?
Do you think that I could eat at a time like this?
How inhumane.
Bo Ra's mother!
What are you doing outside on such a chilly day?
My heart feels so heavy, so...
Jung Bong's mother hasn't come back yet?
No, she's coming back tomorrow.
I guess it's a vacation for the guys at your place.
The house is a mess, right?
No, that's not true. We're getting by so well.
It's just that we don't do housework.
But when we do, we're good at it.
I see.
You should at least put some socks on.
-You made alcohol out of ginseng?-Yes!
When else could I drink it, except when my wife is gone?
My husband is home today, too.
Really?
Then we can have a drink together!
Yes!
There's no use in getting your kids educated.
Even if you get them to study hard,
they act like they're smart
and do whatever they want.
Even so, I wish Jung Bong
could be half of what Bo Ra is.
Although he is my son,
but he's so stupid that I'm really worried about him.
But because my wife and I have a soft spot for him,
we just let him do as he wished.
But, I'm really worried about him.
By the way, is Bo Ra all right?
I'm not eating.
Eat it! Are you planning to starve to death?
I'm not hungry and I have no appetite.
Just eat one spoonful and you can sleep.
I made your favourite. Just one bite.
I told you, I'm not eating!
Leave me alone!
Just one spoonful, Bo Ra! Okay?
Just one.
Then I'll leave it here.
Eat it later whenever you want to. Okay?
If you don't want to eat it now, eat it later.
Got it?
Jin Joo!
I have to wash that again!
Seriously...
Okay. Your arms.
Whose daughter is my little Jin Joo?
Mummy's daughter!
Oh, my child!
Jin Joo, what do you want to eat?
What should we eat?
Banana.
Banana? You had that yesterday too, though.
Banana!
Okay. I'll go buy some later.
Go to your room. Go...
"To my kind and beautiful daughter".
"I don't have much money, so I couldn't give you a lot".
"Buy some pretty clothes for yourself".
"My daughter, whom I love so much",
"don't live life with your head hung low".
"You've done nothing wrong!"
"Make sure to take care of your health!"
Mum... really...
When did she leave that envelope?
I can't believe her.
Honey, your clothes...
Oh my.
Sun Woo's mother, have you seen Bo Ra?
No, I haven't seen her.
Why? She's not at home?
Where did that girl go?
No, I haven't seen her. She didn't come here.
Taek's father, did you see Bo Ra?
Did she pass by here?
No, I didn't see her.
Oh my. What do I do?
Bo Ra's mum,
please take this.
Sung Bo Ra. That's you, right?
A freshman majoring in Math Education at Seoul University.
You're Sung Bo Ra, right?
You know Jo Heung, right?
The student body President at Seoul University.
He's your leader, isn't he?
Did you take part in the illegal demo
at the party office at Garakdong, Songpagu?
No, I didn't. I didn't do it.
Look at this wench.
Cooperate and come with us while we're still being nice to you.
Bo Ra!
Bo Ra.
My daughter isn't the one you're looking for.
You can't take her away.
Madam...
Do you know what kind of daughter she is?
She's the smartest kid in the entire neighbourhood.
She's even smarter than the kids from the rich families!
She could have gone to Seoul University's law school.
And yet, she applied for the school of education
because she wanted to get the scholarship, and she got it.
Her dream since she was young was to be a prosecutor or a judge.
She never lets us worry about her tuition fees.
She talked with her teacher
and applied for Seoul University herself.
You know Seoul University, right?
It's the university that only accepts the smartest kids in our country!
She was never tutored or went to a cram school,
but she got in on her first try!
That's the type of daughter that she is.
Do you know how many days our neighbourhood celebrated?
Her dad's company even sent a bunch of flowers.
Also, when she was graduating high school,
she got an award from the principal as the student representative!
As for mathematics, she is in the first rank in Korea.
Her uncle is a provincial governor.
She's close enough with him to have dinner with him!
One of her cousins is going to medical school now!
Also, do you know about her father?
The bank manager gave him an award
for his 20 years long service at the bank.
He even had dinner with her.
He said that there couldn't be
a smarter or kinder daughter in the world.
The President even gave her some money!
And he even drove them home.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry for what I did.
Bo Ra! Don't say such nonsense!
What I did was wrong!
No... my child would never do that!
My daughter isn't that kind of child!
I said I did wrong. I'll go to the police station.
No, Bo Ra! You did nothing wrong!
My child isn't that kind of child!
Let's go...
I told you, my daughter would never do that!
-Please let go, madam.-Let go of her!
My child isn't that kind of child!
Sometimes, I felt like my mum was an embarrassment.
I wondered if she has any dignity and pride left in her.
Sometimes I felt angry.
I didn't realise it then,
but it was because there was something precious
that she wanted to protect more than herself.
And that it was because of me.
When true love manifests,
it doesn't allow one to be concerned over one's pride
and causes one to cast it aside.
That's why mothers are strong.
Mum, I'm home!
Oh, my child!
Jin Joo! How are you?
Did Jung Hwan drop you off?
Of course.
I didn't come home drenched, which is a relief.
-I'm going to go wash up first.-Okay.
Hello?
Tae Soo, are you okay?
You're so old, and yet you're still bothering mum.
How are you going to get by without mum?
Is mum awake?
Put her on the line.
Hello?
Mum.
Sun Young?
Hello?
What's wrong with me?
Mum...
Mum!
They say that God created mothers
because they can't be everywhere at once.
Even when one is at the age to be a mum,
one's mother is always one's guardian
and even saying the word, "Mum"
has the power to make my heart choke up.
Mothers are always strong.
Is Bo Ra okay?
Well, they're letting her off with a warning.
What a relief. That's good, then.
It'll be okay.
By the way, they should be coming out soon.
Didn't you say that you quit smoking?
Just give her a stiff punishment!
Sit her down and give her a scary look
and strike fear into her heart!
Why should I do that?
It's not like she committed a crime.
How could I make her get on her knees and yell at her?
Banana.
Okay. The biggest one is for Jin Joo.
And, this one is for mum!
No, it's okay. You eat it.
Then, I won't eat it either.
Let's throw it out.
Okay! I'll eat it!
Is it delicious, Jin Joo?
I'm home!
Armour of God?
Where is dad?
-Have you eaten?-I'm hungry.
Come. I used the side dishes to make fried rice.
I put dumplings in it, too.
Hello?
-Who was it?-Who?
Mum.
She said she just arrived at the terminal.
Did you clean it?
Hurry up and clean!
When did anyone play badminton?
What about the briquette? You didn't let it go out?
Of course we didn't. It's nice and warm.
What about the laundry? It's raining. Did you collect it?
We collected it all.
Jung Bong folded them, and put them away.
Honey. See? I told you we'd be fine.
We were totally fine without you here!
Don't you worry about us! Okay?
Aren't you hungry?
I made the dumpling soup that you like.
I'm fine. You can eat it.
Since it's raining and all, do you want to have some So Ju?
Drinking So Ju at the time to go to bed?
Drink it yourself.
Should I make some kimchi pancakes for you then?
It's fine! Go and watch TV.
Why doesn't she look happy?
I guess something at home is a mess.
No way. We cleaned everything.
Cleaning, dishes, and laundry... They are all perfect.
We even changed all the briquettes
and ate all the side dishes she told us to eat.
I'm sure my mum was shocked, too.
She doesn't even have to lift a finger.
Jung Hwan.
Mum, Jung Bong burned his hands!
I can't believe this!
At this age, you don't even know how to cook instant noodles?
They're stuck again.
The kitchen knife...
Mum! Dad broke the briquettes again!
Way to go!
You can't do anything right! I can't believe this!
Mum! Have you seen my shorts?
Right here! Can't you even find this?
I didn't see it.
Oh, gosh.
What would all of you do without me?
Nobody can do anything properly.
Let's eat together.
What kind of dumplings are those?
Kimchi dumplings. The ones you like.
And So Ju!
If you really want to, I guess.
I'm forcing myself to eat for your sake.
Thank you, madam.
Let's go!
Hey, Jung Hwan.
Don't you understand why your mum's in a bad mood?
No.
It's because the family is doing way too well.
All of you were doing too well without her for her liking.
Cheers...
It's been a while!
What do you mean? It's only been two days.
Really... Without you around,
-I realised something.-What?
We are all garbage without you, honey. Okay?
When one is at the age when one can console one's mother,
it's when one has matured
past being able to say "Thank you" and "I love you".
If one wishes to make one's mother happy,
the words, "Mum, I need you," are more than enough.
Stop wandering around so late.
Where are you going?
I'm going to get some batteries!
Hi!
Why do you keep coming back here, with your leg like that?
It's getting better.
What brings you here?
I came to borrow a sewing kit.
-Are you going somewhere?-I'm going to get some batteries.
-I have some.-Really?
Let's go to my house. I'll give you some of mine.
Okay.
Good morning, madam.
You're here, Jung Hwan?
I need to go to the bathroom. Go wait in my room.
He has everything in alphabetical order.
What a freak.
Such a freak.
"Deok Sun's. Three years of bad luck if you touch this".
Look at this. It's practically brand new.
"11665 Sun Woo"
Do you want something to drink?
I have someone that I like.
I think he'll confess soon. I just have a hunch.
He should've called by now.
Your head's going to roll off while you wait.
Deok Sun, do you want me to make you some instant noodles?
-It won't take that long.-Jerk.
Sit.
It's okay. Why do I need to listen to other people's love lives?
Bye.
But I think it'll be hard for Taek this time around.
He doesn't seem to be in a good state either.
The match will now begin.
He's wary of strangers when it comes to Baduk, too.
Do you want to bet on it?
She'll come! Just wait!
Deok Sun!
Do it on the day the first snow falls.
Confess on the day of the first snowfall! Okay?
