"February 1989"
"Seoul, Dobonggu, Ssangmundong"
It's drizzling and there's a sad farewell in Pusan station.
The train whistled.
There are refugees and everyone is sorrowful.
No matter what, the shack is unforgettable.
There are refugees and everyone is sorrowful.
No matter what, the shack is unforgettable.
The lady who speaks in Gyeongsangdo dialect is crying.
It's time to bid farewell in Pusan station.
It's drizzling.
Honey! Your husband, Dong Il, is here!
Shut up and go to sleep.
The kids are all asleep.
Okay...
Oh, my child...
My son is so good-looking!
It's cold!
Don't do that, dad!
I could smell alcohol on you. Don't do that.
I'm sleeping.
Gosh! And who gave birth to such a cutie?
Who else? Dong Il did!
Who would believe that you're in high school,
with all of this baby fat?
You're so pretty! Do you even have a Johnny? Let me see!
Dad!
Stop it! Seriously!
Hey, Sung Deok Sun.
It's Sung Soo Yeon.
You said you wanted to listen to this, right? Here.
You don't want to? Never mind, then.
No... Give it to me.
Did he fall asleep?
Big Brother, I have to use the bathroom.
Okay, Jin Joo. Let's go to the bathroom.
Hey! What took you so long?
Sorry, Bo Ra. My mum went to sleep late.
Is Soo Yeon sleeping?
Yes.
She wouldn't notice if someone is trying to kidnap her.
-Is your mum sleeping?-Yes.
-Jin Joo, too?-Yes.
She's sleeping next to me.
You sleep with Jin Joo?
No.
She woke up because she had to go to the bathroom.
But then she said she wanted to sleep with me,
so I brought her over.
You're such a good kid.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Should we go check out a movie tomorrow?
Check out a movie?
Why are you being so informal with me lately?
Shall we go for a movie tomorrow?
Shall we? (Informal)
Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
But the block is so quiet tonight.
I think everyone's asleep.
Of course they are. Don't you know what time it is?
What is it, bro?
Jung Hwan.
It's snowing outside.
So what?
Let's sleep together. I feel so lonely.
What's wrong with you?
Where do you think you're going with those hands?
Let's sleep together. It's been a while.
Come on, bro.
Bo Ra. It's snowing.
So what?
Meet me outside.
I'll wait for you at your front gate.
Sun Woo!
Big sis, where are you going?
The bathroom. Go back to sleep. Go sleep...
Are you out of your mind?
Nobody's watching.
Big sis?
Big sis...
Where did she go at this hour?
Does No Eul sleepwalk, or something?
Why did he come out here, all of a sudden?
I'll take care of him tomorrow.
Sun Woo, hurry up and go home.
If we keep behaving like this, everyone will know.
Bye.
Wait. Who would come here at this hour?
Everyone's sleeping now.
You take care of him.
"Episode 12: What It Means to Love Someone"
My precious friend, Taek.
This is a secret, okay?
It's a secret, okay?
Okay.
Sun Woo.
Aren't you afraid of Bo Ra?
No, not at all.
She's cute.
Crazy jerk.
You... You know phrases like that?
Where did you learn it from?
Who taught you those crude words?
It's a secret.
Crazy jerk.
Put more 'oomph' into it.
Crazy jerk.
All right. Next.
This useless brat.
Gosh, this useless brat!
Good. You've improved tremendously.
What are you two doing?
What a way to really teach him the best stuff.
No, it's not that.
He lent some upperclassman ten million won again.
What?
That upperclassman is a crazy, useless brat!
You should teach him better profanities!
How will you survive in this cruel world?
Are you a pushover?
It's so frustrating.
Okay, repeat after me.
I don't want to.
Why should I?
What the heck? It's infuriating...
What are you doing?
Cursing.
You're dead!
What are you doing?
-I'm leaving.-Where are you going?
I promised my big brother I would watch a movie with him.
Just wait.
I have a gift for all of you, you jerks.
"Ddochi Western Food Five Pork Cutlets for Free"
Ddochi Western Food? What's that?
A pork cutlet place, what else?
My third oldest brother gave it to me.
Geum Ryong?
His friend opened a Western restaurant.
I can't believe my older brothers are
doing something nice for me, for once.
Then, when can we go? Shall we go this weekend?
You're all free, right?
But this coupon isn't valid on weekends.
It only works on weekdays.
Let's go on Tuesday.
We're back in school next Tuesday, you brat.
We can go for dinner!
It's near Ssangmun Station,
on the first floor of the shopping plaza.
It's right between our school and Soo Yeon's school.
So we can just eat and go!
You're coming, right?
Sure.
I have matches on Monday and Tuesday.
-Until when?-9pm.
If by any chance it ends early, I'll come right over.
Hey, don't overwork yourself.
What about you?
Me?
They say that their part-time waitress
looks just like Lee Mi Yeon.
You'll come, right?
Of course I have to go, then.
All right.
Sun Woo, I'm taking Jin Joo. I'm going to the market!
Let's go together, mum.
It's okay. Just stay home and study.
I can go by myself.
No, it'll be too heavy for you. I'll come.
Just wait.
It's really fine, though.
Hello.
How much is this?
Goodbye.
How much is one bag of that?
300 won.
Give me a discount. 200 won.
Here we go again.
It's 300 won. How could I give you a 100-won discount?
Okay, fine. Hurry up and pack it for me.
Why are you giving up so easily today?
You haven't even worked me down 50 won.
Hurry!
Mom!
How much was it again? 300 won?
Yes.
Are you making bean sprout soup?
Yes, it's cold.
So I thought it would be good to have some soup.
Sun Woo. Can you bring Jin Joo home?
I have to pick up some sesame seeds.
Let's go together!
No, it's okay. Jin Joo is cold.
I want to chat with the ladies here a bit before I go.
Okay. I just have to change the charcoal, right?
That's right.
Your wrist isn't too good, don't buy a lot of things.
Okay!
And if you do buy something heavy, leave it here.
I'll get it for you later.
Okay.
Hurry up and go! Jin Joo is going to catch a cold!
Okay. Let's go, Jin Joo.
-Bye!-Okay, bye!
How nice.
Your son is such a breath of fresh air!
You must be full even if you're not eating.
You have such a good son. You're so lucky.
-Just 100 won.-What?
Just give me a 100 won discount!
No! We've already agreed on 300 won!
That was because I was in a hurry because of my child!
Come on, just 100 won.
No.
What about just 50 won, then?
Just give me 50 won off, then!
The Korean orthographic rules has changed now.
A new spelling system,
which will be more phonetically accurate
will be enacted, starting today, March 6th.
It's expected to cause public confusion for the time being.
For example,
-Sagwolse and Sageulse are unified into one.-Good.
-That's Sageulse.-Okay, next.
The word "o" will be spelled as "yo".
It will be "seum" instead of "eum".
Regarding the new orthographic rules,
the new Korean dictionary
-has been published...-Jin Joo. Wait.
It's not 'eub ni da'...
It must be 'seub ni da'. Si-ot.
Jin Joo probably doesn't know the Korean alphabet yet.
She's just copying what you wrote.
Mum, do you have a cold?
No, I'm fine! It comes and goes.
Sun Woo. Try this.
How does it taste?
It's good, right?
What? Is it too salty? Is it horrible?
It's a little salty, but I think it would be fine
-if you ate it with rice.-Really?
I put extra salt in it for that exact reason.
Clear the table. Let's eat.
Jin Joo, let's eat.
Should I add more salt?
No! Don't, mum!
-It's great the way it is now.-Really?
Isn't dad working late today again?
Why are you making so much rice?
I have to make some anyway.
It's good to have extra rice.
Oh, my. I have to give that to them.
They have to eat that with their meal.
-Soo Yeon!-What?
Can you run an errand for me?
Go bring these to Jung Hwan's house.
I bet they're eating dinner already.
-Okay.-Don't do anything else.
Come right back after that, okay?
And bring some to Sun Woo's house later, too.
Why do you make me do everything?
Am I your only child?
I'll go.
Give me that, mum. I'll bring it to Sun Woo's house.
What? This? Right?
I think we need to bring her to the hospital.
I think she has gone crazy.
Gosh. I must be out of my mind.
I must be crazy. Gosh!
Madam, it's me, Soo Yeon!
Hi, Deok Sun!
She's Soo Yeon.
Soo Yeon...
My mum wanted you to have this.
She made a lot!
Did your father get his paycheque?
No.
What are you doing?
What does it look like? I'm eating, obviously.
Soo Yeon. Can't you be Deok Sun again now?
Soo Yeon.
I prefer calling you Deok Sun.
Deok Sun suits you more.
Soo Yeon...
If you keep calling me that,
there's no chance I'll succeed!
Our Soo Yeon... things have to go well for you!
Soo Yeon. Would you like to have dinner here?
I made spicy bean sprouts.
I'd love to!
Our Soo Yeon...
I'll be yours forever!
Ding-dong...
Thanks.
I know, all right?
My mum wanted you to have this.
Bo Ra.
Okay. Tell her that I said thank you!
-Yes.-Wait!
I need to ask you something. Just a moment.
Yes, Bo Ra! Help Sun Woo with his studies!
I can't pay you for tutoring,
but I'll give you some pocket money.
You don't have socks on. Aren't you cold?
Are you crazy? What if we get caught?
We won't.
Sit down.
No. I'm leaving.
Do you have a death wish?
Fine.
Bo Ra, my break ends tomorrow.
I know.
I'll drop by on my way to school tomorrow.
You can't.
I'm going to the library early tomorrow morning.
Early in the morning?
Why?
I have my reasons. You don't need to know.
You're still on break though.
Are you, by chance...
going to do some "political exercises"?
No. I'm really going to study.
I'm off.
Then let's meet after my night classes,
in front of your place.
I'll be home around 11pm.
-I can't.-Bo Ra!
-Be quiet.-What is it, this time?
I think No Eul is catching onto us.
Meeting in front of my house is risky.
How about the food truck on the big road?
Study hard, student!
Okay. I will.
Here, eat this!
Miss, I think Sun Woo is feeling lightheaded.
I think he needs some medicine.
Goodbye.
Are you ill?
-Are you dizzy?-No.
Should I get you some medicine?
No, it's fine.
No, I'm fine, really.
Sir, I'm leaving!
Okay!
When are you going to school tomorrow morning?
I don't know. Early.
Okay. See you tomorrow!
I'm really leaving now.
Soo Yeon. Be careful on your way home.
Your house is quite far from here, after all.
Jung Bong.
Did you write a reply yet?
I went to the post office myself
and picked the fastest shipping method!
I think I could get a reply by tomorrow.
What are you guys talking about?
You don't need to know.
Next time. Something great has happened to me.
My heart is pounding already.
Your heart is on the other side.
It seems that travelling past DMZ
to Mount Geumgang will become possible.
Hyundai Group's Chairman
is collabourating with North Korea to establish a tour.
And the Chairman is visiting North Korea this April
to discuss about the establishment...
Son, wake up!
It's your first day back at school!
You have to go to school.
What time is it, dad?
It's already 6:30am. Go and wash up.
Oh, yes. Go and wake up your sister.
Gosh, she's in her third year of high school.
She should get up on her own!
How long do we still have to wake her up like this?
Seriously, that girl doesn't have a care in the world.
Sis, wake up...
What? You're all ready to go?
Yes. I'm a third-year now, after all.
Soo Yeon is off to school now!
Oh, Duk...
No, I mean, Soo Yeon. You're going to school early.
Madam, where is Jung Hwan?
-Jung Hwan?-Yes.
-He's already left.-What?
I think Jung Hwan is aiming for Harvard, or something.
He left really early this morning.
"Ssangmun Girls' High"
You're here?
I had something totally crazy happen to me yesterday.
What? Did you get rejected again?
No.
Also, what would be so crazy about that?
-That happens all the time.-You're right.
So? What is it?
I went to a Western restaurant with my family yesterday
It's a new place that opened up nearby.
It's called Ddochi or Douner...
I'm going there next week! I have a coupon.
Be careful there! I saw a Burberry Man there!
-A Burberry Man? (a flasher)-Yes!
It was so gross.
I have never seen one.
For real? Seriously?
Yes. I'm the only one in our class.
You sound really disappointed.
You may faint if you see one.
Are you okay?
Yes, well... I see them pretty often, so yes...
All of a sudden, the world felt like such a cold place.
So I told him, "Mister! It's cold! Go home!"
and sent him off.
Wang Jo Hyun! You're incredible!
That's not much, really.
But the first time I saw one,
I was so surprised. My heart started pounding.
I cried on the spot.
Seriously?
I would get myself an autograph.
If it were you, you might do something crazy, though.
How about skipping study hall
and going to Brazil Ddukbokki?
I can't. Starting today, I'm studying hard.
I'm going to college, too.
Isn't it too late for that?
The moment you think that it's too late is...
It's really too late.
-How nice.-So nice and sweet!
It's quieter around here now
that the kids are back in school.
It's like our vacation has just begun.
All the kids are gone. Now, only Jin Joo is left!
Hello.
Where are you going?
I'm going outside for a bit.
Jung Bong.
Come over here.
Go to the arcade or something.
Thank you, mother.
Have a great time, then.
I have to see him go to college
before I die, at least...
You're being so greedy.
Before that, you said you only want him to be healthy.
Yes. Jung Bong is such a nice boy.
What other guys at his age
don't cause any trouble?
He's fine. Really.
-Did you catch a cold?-It isn't a cold yet.
Buy yourself some medicine, you silly girl!
It's fine. All I need is a cup of citron tea.
Are you going to work again today?
-What time?-Same time.
I have to be there by 8:30pm, when it closes.
At this rate, you'll get caught.
What if Sun Woo finds out?
And how would Sun Woo find out?
When they come home from night class, it'd be 11pm.
I finish work before that.
I'll never get caught.
But, where's Jin Joo, our little princess?
Our Jin Joo...
She made a new friend recently.
Even when I go to work,
I leave her with her friend.
Her friend? Who?
There's a kid who is at her exact level.
Jin Joo, wait just a bit.
I'm almost done.
All done!
Here you go, Jin Joo!
What's wrong, Jin Joo?
You cut off the shoulders!
The shoulders?
Wait a minute.
Oh, no! I'll put them back on!
Just wait a bit! Don't cry, okay?
Shoulder, the shoulder has been cut off.
Yes, the shoulders.
I'll have to cut them out before I stick them back on.
Just wait a bit. Okay?
Mister!
Is there a letter for Kim Jung Bong?
Kim Jung Bong, who lives at the house with white gate.
No...
I don't have anything for you.
You don't?
You really don't?
My Soo Yeon is in her last year of high school now.
She must pull herself together and study harder.
Let's try to put some faith in that fortune teller.
Even though she was totally wrong about my Jung Bong.
It's not like she got mine right, either.
You never know.
She has to be right, eventually.
Soo Yeon. Please study well!
It's your mother's only wish.
Mum.
"Accounting"
You've got white hair!
"Ssangmun High"
Let's hurry to Taek's house.
What is that?
I have something to do. I'm running ahead!
Sun Woo...
Why is he always leaving us?
What do you think it is? It's an X-rated film.
I had to pay Michael 10,000 won to borrow it.
Taek has a match tomorrow,
so we have to support him no matter what. Right?
Studying isn't everything.
You have to experience things with your body
and feel it with your own body, you brats.
I've promised my brother to watch "Die Hard" with him.
Please, go home already. Okay?
I really don't want to see my dad today.
Let's go home!
Did you wait long?
Maybe ten minutes?
From now on, let's meet ten minutes later.
I came as fast as I could today,
but I still got here late.
So from now on, let's meet at 11:10pm, okay?
Okay.
We can just agree on sometime around eleven, then.
Bo Ra!
I don't want you to be waiting since it's cold out here.
-Do you want some udon?-Yes.
Can we have two bowls of udon, please?
Okay!
Let's eat up and go home.
I bet your mum is waiting up for you.
Even if she is, I have to see your face.
Have this. I don't like chrysanthemums.
You're pickier than Jin Joo, seriously.
You must eat everything
so you'll grow up tall and healthy.
Stop messing around.
But Bo Ra...
Why are you spending so much time at the library?
Are you preparing for your teacher certification exam?
What are you studying? Math?
Or something else, besides math?
You sure are curious about a lot of things.
Do you really want to know all about me?
Of course. That's how people are.
You're the weird one.
I don't like secrets.
You keep speaking to me so informally.
Hey.
But seriously, what are you up to lately?
Really!
I'm going to see Taek for a while!
I'm studying accounting lately.
Why? You're going to take the CPA exam?
And not the teacher certification exam?
I was blacklisted by the Seoul Police Department.
It'll be hard for me to get certified.
An upperclassman suggested a part-time job to me
and it has a lot to do with CPA work,
so I'm studying on my own.
They'll pay me more than I make from tutoring.
If I end up liking the job,
I can apply for a full-time position.
So I'm kind of busy nowadays.
I don't have much time to see you for the time being.
Why don't you just study for the CPA, then?
Do you think that just anyone can become a CPA?
You must study like crazy for several years.
Also, if I start studying for that,
it's definitely over between us.
I can't do both things at once.
Consider yourself lucky.
Even so, we can meet here every night, right?
Only on weekends.
Let's just see each other on weekends from now on.
Hey, you're a third-year now!
I don't want your grades to drop because of me.
I'll take care of my studies.
No! We're only seeing each other on weekends!
-Where's your dad?-He's asleep.
Okay, nice.
Why don't we watch it together, with everyone else?
I have to return it tomorrow.
Where else will you find a true friend like me
who takes care of his friends' sex lives?
Like me! Thank me.
Let's put this in... Taek...
Taek, my mum wanted you to eat...
What is that?
It's porn, right?
-No, Deok Sun! No!-Sir!
Good job, Taek!
No, you can't! You can't, Deok Sun!
No, you can't!
National Singing Competition!
That...
That scumbag...
Are you sulking?
-Nope.-Nope?
You're getting really brazen lately.
Can't I speak informally?
What did you say?
Madam?
No, you can't. I'll just beat you up.
Aren't we dating?
Madam?
Am I just a little kid to you?
You always treat me like a kid.
This is just a one-way romance. Yes.
Whatever. Stop spouting nonsense
and let's go. It's late.
-Madam, how much is it?-1,400 won.
Let's go.
Goodbye.
Come on now, hurry up.
She's toying with me.
Bo Ra!
Bo Ra, you wore that skirt for me, didn't you?
Shut up!
Aren't you cold? This skirt is so short.
I am.
Stop it.
A Burberry Man?
You mean the strange guy who wears a trench coat and flash at people?
Yes. Apparently they pop up
near the Ddochi Restaurant quite often.
Then let's go somewhere else.
We can't! I need to use the coupon!
It's okay. What's so scary about a Burberry Man?
My biggest wish is to see one.
-Aren't you scared?-Nope.
Do you really think she would be scared of that?
For her, nothing is scarier than Bo Ra.
Don't be silly.
What's that sound?
Didn't you hear that?
Mice.
My dad put out a few of those sticky mouse traps
but my dad and I are both too scared to check them.
We have to throw them away.
Your dad looks like
he could kill them with his bare hands.
So he does have some human traits, right?
Mice are the only thing he fears.
-Gosh.-A mouse bit him once, when he was young.
Where are you going?
To catch mice.
Let's go. I'll throw the traps out for you.
Three of them.
Three what?
What?
Oh, my God! Stop it! Are you really a girl?
Stop it, Deok Sun. Stop it.
My name is Soo Yeon!
Get away from me! I'll kill you, seriously!
Go away...
Go away! Stop it!
Take a look!
You should really reconsider.
What?
Do you really like that girl, as a girl?
She's cute.
Come to your senses, you idiot!
Gosh, I bit my tongue.
It's drizzling and there's a sad farewell in Pusan station.
I'm going to kill you all today!
You say goodbye, and I'll say goodbye.
"Mouse Killer"My child...
No Eul...
My cute child!
Dad! It's so cold!
Why do you keep doing that to me when I'm sleeping?
Good morning.
-Hi, Bo Ra. You're leaving early.-Yes.
Seoul University students are different from others.
Hello, sir.
Deok Sun. Where are you going?
-I'm Soo Yeon.-Oh, yes, Soo Yeon.
Where are you off to at this hour?
To school.
-Goodbye.-Okay...
Did you see Jung Hwan leave, by any chance?
No.
-Goodbye.-Okay...
I guess she finally came to her senses
now that she's in her final year of high school.
Wait. I'm going to get a cup of coffee.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Why are you leaving so early?
What about you, then? Why are you leaving so early?
I'm going to sleep. Wake me up when we arrive.
I'm sorry to have made you wait for me.
We're leaving now.
Jin Joo! You can't be so picky.
You have to eat the peas, too.
No! I want the mackerel!
Mackerel?
Jin Joo, say "Ah."
Our Jin Joo has such a good appetite.
Gosh... This girl.
You did catch a cold, mum!
Did you take your medicine?
It's okay! I'll buy it later.
You'll be home late again today, okay?
I'll be home around the same time.
Buy some medicine! Okay?
All right!
Just take care of yourself.
And now, Baduk news.
Going forward from today, matches will be played
at the Korean Baduk Club's special competition room.
The first match will be between Choi Taek, 6-dan
and Yoo Jin Ho, 9-dan.
This match has no time limits
so the players' stamina will be quite important.
The record stands at three victories and two losses...
Choi Taek, 6-dan...
Moo Sung! I'll do it. Leave it there.
No, it's okay. I'll do it.
It's something I do every day, anyway.
-Jin Joo, you're here?-Yes!
Moo Sung. Where's Taek?
Did he go the Baduk club already?
He has a match today. He left early this morning.
But, did you catch a cold?
No, I'm fine. Have this.
Just take one or two spoonful of this
and stir it with hot water when you catch a cold.
You take it.
You're the one who seems to have a cold.
No, I said I'm fine!
Also, Moo Sung...
I'll be leaving Jin Joo with you later!
Okay.
Jin Joo!
Let's play together later!
I'll cut out lots of paper dolls for you, okay?
Okay!
Gosh, this girl.
"Ssangmun High"
Dong Ryong, are you having dinner?
I brought myself a lunchbox.
"Doshirak Instant Ramen"
Hey, give me some of your soup.
Hey, my precious noodles!
Is Taek done?
Our poor Taek.
Why? Did he lose?
No. The match is still progressing.
Didn't the match start this morning?
It started at 9am, and it's still not over yet.
It's been ten hours.
I heard that his opponent is really good.
What if he loses, after all of this time?
Then it'll be bad.
It looked like he stayed up all night last night.
I bet he's in a terrible shape.
Are you still having indigestion problems?
You've been like this since lunch.
I don't think I can eat dinner.
Go to the bathroom.
Did you throw up?
Yes, a little.
Just go home today. Leave early.
You brat.
Did he say you can go home?
Do you want me to take you home?
No, it's fine. I'm leaving.
Let's give it a shot.
Father. My stomach is...
I ate the same thing as Sun Woo for lunch.
So, I think I'm having indigestion too.
Father...
I think my farts are coming out.
I think I'm all digested now.
My farts...
Yours and my Minky, Minky...
Magic Princess Minky, Minky...
-She rode the light down...-Rode the what?
Magic Princess Minky, Minky!
To the space...
Can I get some medication for indigestion?
Also, may I also have some cold medicine,
for a head cold?
Is it for you?
It's not good to take those together.
The cold medicine is for my mother.
Can I have one that is easy on the body?
Not too strong.
-Okay.-Thanks.
You're already here?
There's still some time, though.
Jin Joo said she wanted to play here,
so I brought her a bit early.
Then have a seat before you go.
Oh, yes. Hold on.
This is for you.
-What is it?-Medicine.
What?
I bought some for you
while I was buying Taek's medicine.
Thanks.
Give it to me. I'll open it for you.
Oh, no. I spilled some.
Moo Sung. Dye your hair.
You're growing a lot of white hair.
No way.
Who cares about that, at my age?
No, you're just forty.
Because you were born with a face that looks old.
You look even older if you smile.
Is it funny? Jin Joo, it's funny, right?
It's o cold.
Okay, let's go.
Jin Joo, say goodbye.
Say thank you, thank you.
Moo Sung, I'm going.
Thank you, Mr. Agent.
Be careful on your way home.
You know there's a match tomorrow at 9am, right?
You may just faint.
Mum! I'm back.
My son is here. Are you hungry?
That's fine, I just ate with the kids.
Did you eat spicy rice cake?
Yes, I had spicy rice cakes and others too.
Really? Do you want me to make you a kimchi stew?
No, mum. Have you eaten?
I've eaten. Look at my tummy.
The first match of the competition
took place today at the Korean Baduk Club.
Choi Taek lost to Yoo Jin Ho
with a margin of a few points in a match
that lasted ten and half hours.
Choi Taek couldn't maintain
his momentum until the end of the match
and was defeated.
Choi Taek is...
How was Taek?
I bet that he feels bad by losing like that.
Where is Soo Yeon? Isn't she home yet?
It's time for her to come back.
Hey! Master Choi!
Spread your shoulders.
Walk with your chest held high
and lift your head.
I bet you had a really tough time today.
Well, yes. Losing a match sometimes happens...
You've worked hard.
Mum, I'm going to school.
Hello...
Hello.
What a coincidence!
All of us leaving at the same time really
doesn't happen very often.
Now, if Master Choi comes out...
Are you guys going to school?
When you live in the same town for about 20 years,
you develop a sort of telepathy.
Deok Sun, hello.
I'm Soo Yeon.
All right.
You guys know about what's happening this evening, right?
Ddochi cafe.
Don't you dare skip it, not even one of you.
All of you will die together, for sure.
Are you able to come? Don't you have a match today?
If it ends early, I'll go.
Don't get lost on the way.
-I got it.-Hey, it's late.
Let's go...
You should dye your hair
since you're growing a lot of white hair.
Forget it. I'm too old to dye my hair.
No, you're just forty.
Hey! Where are you going?
I'm going to wash my face.
You can take a nap if you're feeling sleepy.
Who would go so far as to wash their face to study?
How unlucky.
You serious brat.
Where are you going?
To wash my face.
You could say I don't know how to study
because I don't wash my face.
Namo Amitabha.
My God.
Jung Bong, I'm going to the market.
Goodbye.
Let's go together, with me.
I will have a lot of things to carry on my way back.
It's cold.
Are you going to the market?
What are you going to cook for dinner?
I'm going to buy a few cutlass fish and braise them.
Are you taking those glass bottles to Dooly Supermarket?
Yes, I guess it can exchange with some money
to buy tofu.
Are you okay to do your work?
It's nothing at all.
Sun Woo still doesn't know yet, right?
Of course! I'll be in trouble if he knows.
He's such a gentle kid,
but he's really scary when he gets angry.
I can't believe I'm living my life
in fear of my own child as I get older.
It's because he doesn't want his mother to be suffered.
He's a filial son.
Of course, I know he's a filial son.
You're so lucky.
Stand, bow.
Thank you...
-Have a good dinner.-Yes...
Let's go, we're running out of time.
Hey, must I go?
Gosh, do you mean that you don't need pork cutlets
because you're rich?
I have to use five of these today.
Dong Ryong, I'm sorry. I must go somewhere else.
If the teacher asks about me,
tell him my stomach isn't feeling well.
-I'll go first.-Hey, Sun Woo.
What happened to him?
He even skips the night classes.
All right, since one of us is not going,
I will have two pieces of pork cutlets to myself.
But, no, if Taek isn't coming as well...
Wait, Soo Yeon could eat 2 pork cutlets, and I'll have 2.
No, I'll have 3 and Soo Yeon just has one,
but I must be full.
Then, if Soo Yeon has 4 pork cutlets...
Jerk.
Are you possessed by a ghost who has never eaten any pork cutlets?
It's late, hurry up.
Ghost!
Let's go together.
Oh, here!
The ambience here is rather nice.
Give me five pork cutlets, please!
What? Where is Sun Woo?
He left. He had something to do.
Why? Is he sick?
-No.-I can't believe
Sun Woo would skip night classes.
Taek isn't here yet?
It seems like he's won't be able to make it.
His match yesterday was over 10 hours too.
Oh, Master Choi is here?
You won, didn't you?
Yeas, it ended early today.
-Have you ordered?-We've already ordered.
But, where is Sun Woo?
He skipped night class because he has something to do.
Sun Woo?
Enjoy your meal.
I thought you said there's a Lee Mi Yeon lookalike.
I'm sorry.
Hey, can I have two?
Share half with me.
You may eat mine.
That's fine, you should eat more in order to gain some weight.
Give it to me.
Here.
All right, shall I start to eat it now?
First, I have to make plenty of room here.
I'm going to the washroom.
You're so disgusting.
Who said I'm going to do a big business?
I'm going to the washroom, too.
Do I have to go to the washroom too?
Gosh, it's so small!
There's nothing to see at all!
Please go home.
There's nothing to see, though.
Deok Sun, you're really awesome.
How dare he...
Take a seat now, let's eat together.
Jin Joo, eat more.
Yes.
Did you make some of the citron tea I gave you?
Is it delicious?
Yeah, you made it well. It's delicious.
Tell me if you finish it. I'll make it again.
Yes, how is your cold?
I took the medicine that you gave me
and got a lot better.
That's great, then.
Jin Joo, you should eat more.
Yes.
Why are they not coming?
Is Taek making his big move tonight?
I can't believe that.
Are you done crying?
Don't tell them about this.
It's fine to cry.
No matter what, I'm so embarrassed.
Then, help me take care of her.
I got it, don't worry and go ahead.
You're going early today too.
Yes, I forgot to wash the washroom yesterday.
I have a ton of work today.
When you clean, remember to wear gloves.
Cleaning detergents are really bad for your skin.
I got it,
but I can't really do work with gloves on.
Sun Woo doesn't know yet, right?
I'm so nervous that Sun Woo will find out.
Just stay at home.
Sun Woo is very busy with his studies these days.
I should work harder to earn some money
to buy him a pair of new shoes, too.
And also, I should buy here some new clothes
for him to get into college.
Is Sun Woo asking for that?
You don't understand a mother's heart at all.
I'm going. Help me take good care of her.
Take good care of her. Thank you.
You must wear gloves.
Yes.
"We're closed today"
Hey, nobody will steal it. Eat it slowly.
Look at them, they're from a rich family.
So their table manners will show when they're eating.
Only you and I are like that. It's so embarrassing.
You're rich, too. I'm the only one who's poor.
I got these habits from eating at home.
I'm afraid someone will steal my food.
Do we have something to eat after this, too?
What do you mean by 'something after this'?
It's 'dessert'. 'Dessert'.
Do you know what is parfait? Parfait?
Do you know Parfait? You know Parfait, right?
-Yes, I've tried it before.-Me too.
I haven't.
As expected.
Without you here, I'd be so much more pathetic,
Deok Sun. No, Soo Yeon.
There'll be two Parfait.
You may have it both, okay?
The parfait is here.
That's great.
Soo Yeon, don't put that in your hair.
Put it down, hurry up.
I'm going to call home and be right back.
Did anything happen at home?
I'm going to ask my brother to record the boxing match.
Okay, come back quickly.
But, what should I do?
Why? Can't you finish it?
No, I want to go to the washroom again.
You just went there.
You ate so much. Hurry go and back.
I'm fine.
Is there an earthquake?
Stop shaking your legs and go.
Okay, I'll be back.
Go ahead.
I came here to smoke.
Go, I'll be here.
I'm here to look for my mum. May I go in?
Are you Mrs. Kim's son?
Your mum is inside, go in.
Thank you.
Don't tell my mum that I came here.
Sun Woo.
Yes.
Your mum just went out for awhile.
She will be right back.
It's cold, let's go inside.
Uncle, I know about that too.
My mum is working at the bathhouse.
I know about that.
Where is Jin Joo?
She's sleeping inside.
Sun Woo, doesn't that your mum have other things...
That's fine.
I'll pretend that I don't know.
All right, thank you.
I'll come home later around the time she's expecting me.
-Thank you, uncle.-Okay.
Bo Ra, why do I hate it so much?
I really hate it.
I'm really fine.
Nice clothes and nice shoes...
I don't need all these.
I don't have to go to college, too.
I don't need what others have.
I just hope that my mum does not need to work.
I really don't want to see my mum suffering so much.
And also, why does Mr. Choi know something
that I don't even know?
Why does he know something
that even her son doesn't know about?
I told her it's fine, so why is she doing this?
I really don't need anything.
It's fine to just live like this.
Her son hates it that much.
Gosh.
Stop it.
Go home and give your mum a shoulder massage.
You don't want to see your mum suffer, right?
And not seeing her suffer makes you feel better.
For your mum, not being able to buy you Nike
is what she hates the most.
Why are you only thinking about yourself?
Did you think about your mum?
Is your peace of mind the only important thing?
You're so immature.
Loving someone
is not just the feeling of wanting to give them things.
It's the desperate desire to give them things.
Mum! I'm back.
I'm hungry.
Our Sun Woo is here. Hurry up and go freshen up.
I bought you some goldfish bread today.
Yes, I'm going to freshen up.
-Is it delicious?-Yes, it's really delicious.
I bought it at the three-way intersection down the road.
They make better goldfish bread.
Sun Woo, you love your mum, don't you?
Hey, it's really hard to love someone.
You are saying goodbye and so do I.
My cute son, No Eul.
It's so warm.
Loving someone
doesn't only mean that you love to feel them near you.
But it means that you love to
compromise yourself for them.
Why did Jung Hwan go back first?
He said he's wants to watch a video recording.
He's so similar to Jung Bong sometimes, right?
I'm going, my friend.
And also, loving someone,
no matter how much pain or grief that person causes you,
and you find yourself wanting to hate them so much,
but you'll never get yourself to hate them eventually.
Jung Hwan, bring this to Taek.
Love is
doesn't mean that you don't hate them.
It means that you can't hate them.
Jung Bong, is there any letter?
Love letter?
Oh, Kim Jung Bong these days is popular
But, why did your friend replied my letter so late?
I'm almost dying while waiting for it.
What do you mean?
Man Ok replied you?
Yes, this.
Is it crazy?
She can't even eat probably now
after the car accident.
How is she going to reply your letter
since she isn't even able to use the chopsticks yet?
Then, what is this?
Well, what is that?
Where was it from?
This letter had its beginnings in England
and it make its rounds every year
giving good luck to those who receive it.
It's a lucky letter.
You have no time.
You have to forward this to 7 people in 4 days.
It's better to write it.
President Kennedy of the United States
received this letter, but he ignored it.
And he was assassinated.
With this card,
you can go anywhere you want.
Wow!
Why are you getting prettier?
No, what are you saying?
-Goodbye.-I'll call you.
Until this Saturday,
nobody is allowed to enter to Taek's room.
Then, do you think you have to eat breakfast or not?
I should eat.
You're so frustrating, stupid.
You have to put your strength here.
-Are you an idiot?-Like this?
-Yes.-I got it.
We really don't have that kind of relationship.
Don't you like him?
No matter what, I don't like him.
Sun Woo.
Aren't you afraid?
I'm afraid.
Oh, my God! How... How is Taek...
Uncle, did Taek call back?
