"April, 1989"
"Seoul, Dobonggu, Ssangmundong"
I'm sure it was difficult.
It was difficult and he had plans,
so of course he cancelled it.
But, is it really that difficult?
He made the promise and then he cancelled.
This is crazy.
I'm sure he's tired.
I'm sure he has a meeting with someone very important.
Well, I'm not that important anyway.
Wait. Am I really not that important?
Yeah, I'm sure I'm not that important.
I suppose I'm not that great.
I thought you were watching a movie.
You didn't go?
What's up with him?
-Right?-Is he playing around with you?
I think I get it.
What?
Choi Taek, that Baduk...
He must view you as a total fool.
What?
You're a total fool... a fool!
Oh yeah. What about Man Ok?
Man Ok is not allowed to go out.
I barely managed to talk to her.
She's not allowed one foot out of her house.
What is she going to do? She has to go on dates.
Forget dating.
It's all over for her.
You haven't forgotten about tomorrow, right?
Teacher has promised to buy us pizza at Apgujeong.
Of course. How could I forget?
We haven't been to Apgujeong in a long time.
Moo Sung, she's heavy. Give her to me.
No, I'm fine.
She's not heavy at all.
Let's go in.
Can't you stop doing that work now?
I've been so bored lately.
Moo Sung, what happened to your hand?
I burned it. It's fine.
It doesn't look fine.
You should have put on some ointment.
I'm sure it'll heal.
I haven't seen the motorcycle around these days.
Do you think he's in a different neighbourhood?
No, he's not.
He drives by once in a while. So, please be careful.
I'm going now.
See you tomorrow at the Han Yang shopping centre.
-Okay.-Bye.
All right, pizza!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
No.
Sung Deok Sun. You're quite athletic.
You're still able to protect your bag in that situation!
Cool!
What am I going to do?
-Are you okay?-No!
-Try moving it.-I can't move it.
What do we do?
How refreshing.
You're working hard. Here, I'll take it.
Come over here.
You're working hard, right?
All right. Get going now.
Gosh. It smells so bad.
Why is it not flushing well?
My back hurts!
"Home remedy for hemorrhoids and constipation"
Choi Taek, who won the ING Cup
will be arriving in Korea
this Sunday morning at Gimpo airport.
Choi Taek, 6-dan, has won every has won every major world tournament
by winning the ING Cup, Fujitsu Cup
and the Woori Securities Cup.
And he has established himself as the world's best baduk player.
Taek must have arrived.
A crowd of fans gathered at the airport to see him.
Careful!
It hurts!
Deok Sun. Next time I'll buy you a pizza.
Or you can ask Taek to buy you one.
Why did it have to happen on the weekend?
I'd rather get hurt tomorrow or the day after.
I only need to wear this for a few days.
Tomorrow, the school is off due to the anniversary.
It would be perfect if I got hurt tomorrow.
Why on my days off? I hate it.
When is my sister going to grow up?
Hey, Sung Deok Sun!
Are you dead or alive?
Alive!
So, you are alive. I'll be going then.
Where are you going?
We're going to play soccer.
It's been a while since Taek joined us.
-Give me a piggyback ride.-What?
Hurry up and give me a piggyback ride. I want to go too.
How can I do that?
How can I carry someone who is bigger than me?
What are you saying?
Hey, Sung Bo Ra.
Let's eat. Okay?
Jung Hwan, I finally finished the thousand cranes...
I folded them all.
Where did my little brother go?
"Recruitment of Air Force Cadet"
"Training Institute"
No one's here. Hurry.
Don't you think we'll get caught if we keep this up?
Never. We've never been caught before.
Where's Taek?
I'm here.
It's still cold.
Get some exercise, Choi Taek.
It's because I'm still having jetlag.
What a joke.
Here, you guys should warm up.
I have to use the bathroom.
Wake up already, would you?
You tied your shoelaces well. That's so unlike you.
You tied it for me before and I just left it.
I won't be able to do it myself if it's untied,
so I made it tighter.
Did you open my wallet, by any chance?
No.
I didn't look inside.
You guys will fall!
-Get off me!-No, I don't want to.
-Get off!-No way!
I will get her.
Just let him go already!
He kept saying I was heavy in front all these people.
Was I incorrect?
And you're rough.
Just be quiet.
The sun will set soon.
Let's do two-on-two. I'll be with Taek.
Jung Hwan, you go with Dong Ryong.
I made this arrangement because having Taek in the team
makes no difference.
Are you kidding me? I'm pretty good at playing football.
That would be like Deok Sun getting into Seoul University.
You haven't even seen the sun for a long time, right?
Jung Hwan, let's beat these guys.
Let's get started.
Okay.
Sun Woo.
Goal!
Dong Ryong, are you okay?
I'm in so much pain.
I think my butt ripped apart.
Stop complaining.
Does it hurt really bad?
I think I'm going to die.
Then go and sit down over there for a while.
Okay.
But, you guys...
My butt is hurting so much right now.
More than anything you can imagine.
What's going on?
Dong Ryong!
What?
Are you on your period?
What?
Get him on my back!
I'm taking him to the hospital.
Taek, go and tell Dong Ryong's family.
His dad is home today. Quick.
All right.
You should go on your own. Get going.
Hurry up.
Hurry.
Get on my back.
What are you doing? Get on my back.
What are you doing?
You stay right where you are!
What are you doing? Hurry up.
What are you doing? Hey, put me down!
Put me down!
Bo Ra, congratulations, by the way.
Your dream came true.
I know you haven't passed the test yet.
You've been dying to get into law class
since orientation in first year.
Well, congratulations.
"Episode 17: Life is Irony - II"
Honey, Mi Ran!
I'm hungry.
You didn't hurt yourself elsewhere, did you?
Then, why do you keep smiling?
Are you that happy you hurt your back?
Goodness. Is this the year of three disasters?
Why isn't anything working out?
First, you hurt your back.
Then, the singing contest.
Do you like me that much?
Yes.
They say life is full of blessings in disguise.
I think that saying is correct.
My back may be broken...
But when else would I get this treatment from Mi Ran?
It's like our newlywed days.
Also, I'm glad that happened with the singing contest.
Being in preliminary rounds was just right.
If you made it further, I would be dead right now.
And as for that contest...
it's our nation's best program
with a great reputation, history, and tradition.
Not just anyone came make it, you know.
No matter how good your talent is,
they have standard to meet.
What did I just say?
I lost my mind.
I think I'm slightly insane.
Mi Ran.
Mi Ran, I have to go to the toilet now.
Honey!
Mi Ran, I'm so sorry.
I love you.
Mi Ran!
Take me to the toilet first.
Sun Woo, set the table.
Okay. Hold on, mum.
Coming to you...
Hold on, Jin Joo.
Let me put this on first.
It's okay.
Uncle, you should have
disinfected it before putting on the band-aid.
Sun Woo, call Taek over.
I'm making beef stew.
I'll tell him to come over.
Hello.
Hi, Jin Joo.
How did you know when to come?
I smelled the food.
What? Do you have a dog nose?
Earlier, your mum told me to come by for dinner.
By the way, is Dong Ryong okay?
How can a young student have hemorrhoids?
Yes, Taek and I saw him earlier
and he was doing all right.
Who told him to put garlic in there?
He put garlic in there? Why?
It's a folk remedy.
He knew he had hemorrhoids,
but he was too embarrassed to tell anyone.
So he tried to fix it with garlic.
He says he's too embarrassed
and tells us not to come to the hospital anymore.
He ended up more embarrassed in the end.
And why is he so immature?
He wanted to eat bananas
and threw a fit when he asked Taek to buy him some.
When will he grow up, that jerk?
I'm sorry, uncle.
It's fine.
Hey, it's more helpful if you do nothing.
You should just go away.
None of them matched correctly.
Go on and play with Jin Joo.
"The beautifulness in dream. Evas Time."
Hey, that girl...
Didn't you say that girl
is the same age as our Deok Sun?
Yes.
She sure is pretty.
What did her parents do in their previous lives
to have such a pretty daughter?
By the way, where's Deok Sun?
She can't go anywhere because of her foot.
Maybe she is in her room...
No...
I don't think she's studying...
No...
Studying?
She's sleeping.
She's sleeping right now
because she needs her beauty sleep.
You're very beautiful.
Do beautiful people sleep a lot?
Clean make-up...
-Evas.-You slept a lot too.
What are you doing? Hey, put me down!
Taek.
Never mind.
Sun Woo.
One time I was at the Baduk Club
and came home early.
But dad was alone.
He was eating cold rice mixed with water.
He hadn't expected me to be home so early.
Dad was so flustered and surprised.
I had a thought at that moment.
When I saw him so flustered and so surprised
that he didn't know what to do with himself...
When I saw his back...
I thought to myself that it would be nice
if he had a good person by his side.
I'm happy that it's your mum.
It's a relief.
Are you okay with it?
You don't think about your mum?
It's been longer for me than it has for you.
I guess that's why it's easier for me.
I must be younger than you.
You didn't know that already?
My pride is hurt.
You know my birthday is earlier than yours.
You should call me older brother.
Crazy jerk.
I'm mentally more mature than you.
Gosh, don't be ridiculous.
Gosh.
You've learned a lot of bad things lately.
It's widely heard that
making a wish when you see a falling star will make it come true.
Starting from midnight until early morning,
there will be a space show
of hundreds of falling stars every hour.
Following the shooting star of 1981,
this will be a chance for us to see it again.
Astronomically,
you should be looking north to see the stars...
Mi Ran. Should we go outside to look at the stars?
No.
Okay.
East, west, south, north...
East, three times.
You're a princess, uncle!
Moo Sung.
There's a big article in the paper.
Shouldn't we have a big dinner?
The prize money was a large amount.
There's no need to do that.
Taek will find it a burden.
There are times when he wins and losses.
If we're too happy when he wins,
he might feel burdened.
I try to be the same whether he wins or losses.
That is true.
But still, Moo Sung. Keep this newspaper.
Taek looks so good in the photo.
No, it's fine.
I guess Taek wins so much,
now his articles are nothing to you.
-Is that right?-That's right. That's not a big deal.
South, five times.
Why do you want to look at shooting stars?
Jung Hwan.
Do you know about the legend of shooting stars?
Should I?
If you make a wish while looking at a shooting star,
it will come true.
Dad.
You can turn up the volume.
I'm resting today.
It's fine. I'm going to sleep too.
Okay.
By the way, Taek...
Don't take your sleeping pills.
Okay, I won't take them.
Should I make you warm milk?
No. I'll make some later if I can't sleep.
Go to bed. Good night.
Okay.
Hello.
Bo Ra?
Why are you calling at this hour?
Right now?
You're out front?
Okay, I'll be right out.
You have to melt it and eat it.
They say you will find your love if you do that.
You have to melt the chocolate before you eat it.
And then you will get your love.
It's just candy.
Is there anything that you don't know?
Do I have to watch the stars?
Yes.
You kept these things?
Of course. You know me.
I've been collecting them
so that I can give them to Jung Bong and Jung Hwan
when they get married.
Look at Jung Hwan's neat printing.
He was always a smart child, wasn't he?
Bo Ra, is something going on?
Sun Woo...
Bo Ra, wait.
There's a falling star right there.
They should be falling about now.
Jung Hwan!
It really happened.
We saw it.
Did you make a wish?
No, I forgot.
I made a wish.
What's it?
To have a good relationship with Man Ok?
No.
For my little brother...
to be able to do what he really wants to do.
Today, I played soccer.
Taek and Deok Sun got one goal
and Sun Woo and Dong Ryong got zero.
But I got two goals.
Because my older brother cheered for me
and shouted out my name.
My brother's dream is to be like Maradona.
I made a promise to my brother.
I told him I'd become Maradona in place of my brother.
I will have to work harder on soccer from now on.
Those pilots are so cool.
I could never be one.
Jung Hwan.
I...
I don't want you to join the air force because of me.
For my little brother...
I want him to be able to do what he wants to do.
That is my wish.
It's not because of you.
It's because I really want to join air force.
Really!
Do you think I'm stupid
and can't even tell the difference?
Hmm.
What do you mean by "Hmm?"
It's true!
Why are you being like this?
I really want to go.
Really!
-Oh, really?-Believe me.
Just believe me, okay?
Bo Ra.
Did you make a wish?
How about you?
I did.
What is your wish?
I wish for you to stop smoking.
Did you make a wish?
Yeah, I made one too.
What was it?
For us to break up.
Sun Woo...
Let's break up.
I'm sorry.
Bo Ra.
If you take one more step...
I will never see you again.
Gosh!
Did you see it?
Did you make a wish?
No, not yet.
All right.
Jung Hwan.
You have to make a wish, okay?
Wish.
My wish is...
I wish that guy...
I wish that guy was a really big jerk.
Hello mister!
Are your toes all right?
Yeah.
You didn't sleep at the hospital last night?
No.
His mum is stuck right next to him.
Dads are pretty useless in times like these.
Where are you off to then?
The buses aren't even running.
It is the school anniversary, isn't it?
Is it a school day today?
You're right. Today is an off-day of Ssangmun High
and Ssangmun Women High.
I was so scared.
Where are you off to then?
Me?
It's a secret.
What?
Choi Taek 9-dan... ING Cup...
Nonsense talk.
Mister Yoo...
Butt...
Hemorrhoids...
Garlic...
This crazy jerk!
Hello there. Good morning.
I don't know if Bo Ra's even eating a proper breakfast.
Don't you worry, mum.
She can take care of herself just fine.
She has money and her own room.
What are you worried about?
You should worry about me instead.
I don't worry about you at all, Deok Sun.
You have such a good personality.
You'll do so well
once you're out in the working world.
I won't worry about you, no matter where you are.
Deok Sun? Geez.
Geez.
Deok Sun.
Is there anything you want to do?
What is your ambition?
I have something, mum.
What is it?
A singer.
I'm going to become a singer.
You can't. Do something else.
What do you mean you're going to become a singer?
You should know your place.
You got noticed once in a contest
and now you've got notions in your head.
-I'm going to do it.-You can't do it!
You got it?
Don't you dare mention it again.
Hello?
What? Okay.
Jung Bong.
What should we do, Jung Bong?
Man Ok can't make it today.
She just called me.
What are you going to do?
She can't even take one step out of her house.
She said not to wait in front of her house
because her dad's watching.
What will you do, Jung Bong?
I'll make sure to get it to her.
I'll be at Bo Ra's house for a while.
Just lie down, would you?
Why do you keep moving around?
I'm bored and suffocated in here.
Then call Dong Il or Jae Myung over for a chat.
Should I?
Where are Jung Bong and Jung Hwan?
They're both probably studying.
I'm going to visit Dong Ryong at the hospital.
No one's with him?
No, he just needs something from me.
I'm going now.
Okay, don't be late.
Take a taxi if you're going to be late.
To Man Ok...
First of all, happy birthday.
More than anyone else in the world,
I want to wish you the happiest birthday in the world.
Man Ok.
If by any chance, you are feeling bad
that you could not make it to our date today,
you do not need to feel that way.
-You're here.-What is that?
I bought some blue crabs.
Sun Woo likes blue crabs a lot.
I'll put it here.
Why did you bring ours?
You have your own big family.
I got a good price at the market.
What are you eating there?
Il Hwa.
I didn't realise No Eul had that kind of talent.
Do you think a star will come out of this neighbourhood?
Don't even get started on that.
That will give him empty hopes.
No Eul wants to become a singer.
Then let him become one. What's wrong with that?
Oh no, he can't! Never.
He won't be able to make a living.
Do you think anyone can become a singer?
My dream was to be a singer when I was young.
-What?-Really?
Is that so surprising?
When I was very young,
not now, but when I was young.
Well, when I was young...
my dream was to become a film star.
I was a big fan of Choi Moo Ryong.
I wanted to become a movie star.
And my dream was to have one meal
with Choi Moo Ryong.
How about you? What was your dream?
Me?
For me...
an artist.
This was when I was young, very young.
Can't I even dream when I'm young?
That must be why you like to play Go-stop so much.
It's about pictures matching.
It seems like that's a regret in her life.
This year, there was a survey of primary school students
on their dream job.
First place was scientist and second was professor.
Athlete and doctor were in third and fourth place.
In the 1970's, government employee
and soldier were on top.
The results were quite different.
The change in the children's dreams
are likely influenced by
their parents' expectations and the mass media.
I wanted to be a scientist at one point.
Then I guess you've achieved your dream.
Not anyone is the owner of an electronics dealership.
Is that how it works?
That's right.
I think you and MacGyver
are better scientists than Einstein.
By the way, what was your dream?
Since you're skilled with your hands,
I think you could have been some sort of excellent technician.
A wrestler.
What?
I wanted to become a wrestler.
If I had continued,
all of those trophies that Lee Man Ki has
would be mine right now.
He is a very lucky person.
I think you're the lucky one.
Your back could have been broken.
You know you tend to make up lies.
No, I was quite an athlete.
Suddenly...
I ended up running a clock shop.
What about you, Teacher Yoo?
Me?
I dreamed of becoming a dancer.
I was crazy about dancing before going to the army.
I danced quite a lot at the night clubs.
Should I show it to all of you?
No.
I don't know if I've still got it.
Come on everybody.
Clap your hands.
Oh yes, looking good.
I'm going to sing my song.
Come on, let's twist again,
like we did last summer.
Oh, let's twist again
like we did last year.
Do you remember when
things were really humming?
I wondered where Dong Ryong got his fondness
for playing and dancing from.
He's just like his dad.
How did he hide that about himself
and choose to become a teacher?
Baby, let me know
you love me so and then...
Twist again.
Why are you out here when your foot hurts?
It's okay. I can walk.
The contest is over. Why do you still go to the baduk club?
If you skip one day, will you get a thorn in your butt?
The saying is not "Butt." Isn't it "Tongue?"
You should go inside.
Okay.
Okay, you go on inside too.
Come in.
You didn't go home?
Stop it with the sleeping pills.
Okay. I'll take less from now on.
Deok Sun, I'm going to sleep now.
All right.
You should get going. Bye.
Sun Woo! Eat your breakfast.
Deok Sun, No Eul, breakfast is ready!
Jung Bong, Jung Hwan! Eat your breakfast!
Here you are. Put it in the middle.
Make some room, please.
Let's eat, everybody.
Please eat a lot, my sons.
Thank you for the food.
Honey.
This is just too delicious. This is almost unfair.
You're better than Han Bok Sun and Lee Jong Im.
Son, is it delicious?
Yes.
What about you, my eldest son? How is the bulgogi?
Yes, it is very delicious.
It's really tasty.
I'm telling you. It is so good.
It's absolutely delicious.
It's awesome.
How can bulgogi taste like this?
The taste is so amazing
that it electrifies my whole body.
I think my back is getting better from this bulgogi.
It's like the taste of 100 year-old traditional sauce.
It's so good.
It looks good.
Hi, Jin Joo.
Jin Joo.
Sun Woo, put out your laundry if you have some.
And I'll clean your room today.
No, mum.
I put all the laundry in the machine
and my room is clean.
I cleaned it yesterday.
Should we eat some soup, Jin Joo?
Mum, how can we eat all of this?
Why can't we? I can eat it.
You're supposed to eat after the adults start eating.
Please eat a lot.
Taek!
Let's eat breakfast.
Okay.
Let's eat breakfast.
I'll be right out.
See you.
Okay.
Bye. Open your eyes, would you?
Okay. Bye.
What are you doing here?
I'm trying to wake up.
All right.
Wait, Deok Sun.
When did you leave last night?
Me?
I left right after you said you needed to sleep.
Why?
What is it? Did you have a dream?
Yeah.
That's a relief.
What is it? Was I in your dream?
What kind of dream was it?
No, it was just nonsense.
You don't need to know about it.
What about Dong Ryong?
Him? I envy him the most.
He's probably at the hospital, playing and doing nothing.
Dad!
Deok Sun!
Oh look, my daughter.
Were you waiting for your dad?
Your foot isn't even feeling well.
What is it? You wanted to see your dad?
This is why I raised a daughter.
Dad, buy me an ice-cream cone.
What? You were waiting for ice-cream cone,
and not your dad?
Come on! I was waiting for both.
-Where are we going?-Let's go eat ice-cream.
I waited for both.
Deok Sun, you've been studying hard lately.
It's been very tough, hasn't it?
Dad, even if I don't get into college,
you can't mistreat me.
Come on. As if my Deok Sun would accept mistreatment.
And you wouldn't lose self-confidence
over something like that.
No, this time I will lose my self-confidence.
Deok Sun.
Who cares if you don't go to college?
You can do something else.
-Liar.-Right?
That is a lie.
But Deok Sun...
You have exactly one year left.
You have to suffer a bit this year.
And how about you work really hard?
If you give up without even trying...
that just won't do.
Be prepared to suffer through anything
and work very hard.
And if it still doesn't work out,
then there's nothing you can do.
Dad, I'm going to work really hard.
But still, if I don't get into college...
I don't want you to hate me, okay?
All right.
All right, don't you worry.
I should already thank the Heaven
for the fact that you're determined to study hard.
By the way...
What is your dream, Deok Sun?
What kind of person do you want to become?
Dad will support you even more than your sister Bo Ra.
So, tell me about it.
Don't worry about anything.
I repaid all my debts
and I'm saving lots of money now.
What is it?
Is your dream a secret?
I don't have one.
I don't have a dream, dad.
It's pretty sad, right?
I must be really stupid.
What do you mean? Stupid?
You can get a dream then.
-Really?-Yes, really.
When I was at your age,
I didn't think about anything either.
Deok Sun, everyone is like that.
It's okay, Deok Sun.
It's not just you, so don't worry.
It wasn't always my dream to work at a bank.
It wasn't. I just...
I just needed make a living...
and I somehow ended up here.
Then what's your dream now, dad?
What are your hopes and dreams?
My hopes and dreams?
I want my Bo Ra,
Deok Sun and No Eul to never be in pain.
And to be healthy.
That's the only dream that I have.
No, not a dream for me but for you.
What is your dream?
That's your dad's dream.
Having all three of my kids being healthy and not sick.
Besides that, what could I want?
There's nothing.
That's the only one.
What is that?
This jerk.
Why are you crying?
Do you remember when
things were really humming?
I wondered where Dong Ryong got his fondness
for playing and dancing from.
He's just like his dad.
How did he hide that about himself
and choose to become a teacher?
I'm not in good enough shape to do it.
Don't be like that. Why not put out an album?
It's in the past. The past.
When it comes to my dancing,
I don't have even this much regret.
-Really?-Yes, not even a bit.
I'm just concerned about my youngest son
who's so much like me. He doesn't study
and goes around dancing.
That's what worries me the most.
Gosh, Dong Ryong... that punk.
He really needs to get his act together.
As a father, I passed down a great thing to him.
I really did.
I, too, wish Taek wouldn't take after me.
That is my dream.
What do you mean by that?
Because he takes after you, he's so mature and grown up.
You don't need to worry about Taek at all.
He should take after good traits though.
I want Taek to be like other kids.
He should complain, be irritable, and get angry.
I wish he would show his inner thoughts more often.
He started playing baduk at a young age
and was surrounded by adults.
He developed a habit of holding in his anger.
He wasn't that introverted in the beginning.
There's nothing else for me.
I just want him live like other children his age.
And also to stop taking sleeping pills.
I'd like for him to sleep peacefully, even if it only for one time.
That is my dream.
I don't have many either.
I want Jung Bong to be like he is now.
I want him to be healthy.
I don't want anything else for him.
Why do all of you worried about the kids?
That must be why you like to play Go-stop so much.
It's about pictures matching.
It seems like that's a regret in her life.
That's all in my past, though.
My wish now is for Jung Bong to get into college.
That is my dream.
Me too...
Also...
I wouldn't have anything to ask for
if Bo Ra's personality could soften up.
I want to put her in a mixer with Deok Sun
and just mix their personalities.
Sun Woo too.
He's always sticks to his principles like his father.
That's not going to work for him once he starts working.
He makes me feel sick sometimes.
Oh no, don't worry about it.
I have nothing to wish for, but...
Jung Hwan has such a cold, brusque personality.
It's a problem.
He only takes after his dad's bloody nose,
not his personality.
I only hope for one thing.
That is to hope that Jin Joo and Sun Woo
can live proudly in the future.
That is my only wish.
The kids are seniors now.
I'm so worried about them.
I wonder if I should feed her herbal medicine.
Apparently, there are so many children born in the year of pig.
I don't know what happened in 1971,
but everyone was having kids.
I should also make something nice to Jung Hwan.
What should I feed him?
Where are you off to then?
Me?
It's a secret.
What?
I'm going to buy bananas.
My youngest daughter asked for bananas,
so I'm going to buy it for her.
But everything is probably closed right now.
I'm sure there's someone who opened their shop.
-I'll be going now.-Goodbye.
Thank you.
I need to go to Youngdeungpo food market.
Let's go.
Hello there. Good morning.
Why am I the only one with no dream?
I was feeling troubled about it.
But my talk with dad was very comforting for me.
However, I still envy people who have dreams.
I envy Ja Hyun who wants to be a hairdresser.
And also No Eul who wants to become a singer,
although it sounds like nonsense.
How did they find out what they want to become?
And why is it that I don't have anything I want to do?
I feel pathetic tonight.
Deok Sun!
Bring these steamed crabs to your sister!
"Hyoseung Dorm"
Gosh.
What is so great about studying for the bar exam?
Get that look off your face.
Is this it? 108?
What? What's wrong?
Bo Ra, you sleep in a place like this?
What's the matter with you?
What's with the ramen?
Don't you have money? Buy rice.
I have money. I just don't have the time.
Bo Ra.
This is stupid of you.
What's wrong with you?
Seriously, what's wrong?
Gosh, I'm so embarrassed right now.
Saturday, April 4th, 1989.
It was the most shameful day of my life.
I embraced Sung Bo Ra.
Why did I do such a thing?
Regret is washing over me.
This thing is just filled with so much meat.
Is that right?
That's because I cooked it well.
Please eat a lot.
There's nothing to throw out here.
Oh, it's so delicious.
Letter number 17.
I can hear the flower buds burst open from everywhere.
It's a season in which everything comes back to life.
Man Ok, who is like a spring day.
Have you been well?
I have been well too.
I am curious about how you are
as I have not heard back from you.
I don't wish to burden you.
I know the timing may be difficult
as it is your senior year.
If you have the time,
please tell me how you're doing.
I will be cautiously awaiting news of you.
From your JB in Ssangmundong.
Jung Bong.
This is my wish.
Please forget me.
Man Ok received 35 letters
before responding to Jung Bong.
And that letter was their last letter.
Man Ok went to study abroad in the US
during the summer.
And I fell out of touch with her as well.
Saturday July 15th, 1989.
Summer vacation had started.
Jung Bong left for the temple.
And...
For the first time in my life, I got a nose bleed.
I must really be a senior, after all.
"November 1st, 1989"
November 1st, 1989.
The Haitai Tigers baseball team won the championship this year.
There were no incidents.
Oh, there was a small incident.
The Pacific Dolphins had advanced to the playoffs.
December 5th, 1989.
The first snow of the year.
Moo Sung, it's snowing.
Look, first snow of the year.
Yes, I know. I saw it.
Eat this.
By the way, Sun Young.
Yes?
Since it's cold and all...
should we just live together already?
December 8th, 1989.
We only have one week of this hellish senior year left.
Seven days.
We only have seven days to go.
Taek.
While we were in our senior year...
Taek broke three records.
The highest winning rate,
the most strikeouts
and the largest amount of matches.
This year, Taek had won a whopping 111 matches.
Tomorrow, 1990's academic exams will be administered
for the nation's 89 colleges.
The exam will be taken at 526 locations.
In particular, the baby boom years
of those born in 1971 will be tested.
There is a record high of about 894,000 test-takers.
With this, it has achieved the highest competition rate
in its history, which is 4.57:1.
Also, colleges will only be accepting
the same number as last year.
More than any other year,
the competition will be fierce this year.
"December 15th, 1989"
Did you do well?
Don't ask.
Did you do well?
Are you kidding? I got accepted ages ago.
-Oh, congrats.-Thanks.
What about Jung Bong?
I think he did well.
What else would he do at the temple but study?
You did well, didn't you?
Yeah.
Gosh, you're all so annoying.
What are you all doing next Saturday?
Why?
I have a ticket for seniors exhausted from taking exams.
What is it?
Campus Music Festival.
Taek is going too.
What would you guys do without me?
Seriously, all you know is solving quadratic formulas.
You know nothing about the joys of life.
Next Saturday.
Hi.
What are you guys doing? We're late!
December 23rd, 1989.
The weather seemed like it might snow.
We went to see
the Campus Music Festival the day before Christmas Eve.
And this day was the last day of our teens
that we spent together.
The year has changed to 1990,
a number that I wasn't familiar with.
And we became 20 years old.
Jung Hwan went to Cheongju and joins the Air Force Academy.
My goodness.
Sun Woo got a scholarship and went to medical school.
Mum, why are you crying?
Oh, my son. My son...
Thank you so much.
As for Jung Bong...
He finally passed his test and got into a college.
Victory...
"Civil Law"
That's how everyone took one step towards their dream.
I, too, started a new challenge toward my dream.
Today's newspaper for sale.
In March of Lunar Calendar, when flowers bloom,
I enrolled in Noryangjin Hanssem College Prep Academy.
But I was not alone.
I have my eternal partner, Dong Ryong with me.
"December 31st, 1990"
1990 Campus Music Festival.
-We will reveal the top singer now.-Yes.
This year it's Byun Jin Seob.
He's getting the top prize.
It's Hyun Chul, kid. Just stay put.
-Wait and see.-The prize goes to...
He's announcing it now!
Byun Jin Seob!
Dooly...
A woman that looks good in jeans.
That's me.
1991...
-the 10th MBC Song Festival.-My life is mine.
-the tenth MBC Song Festival.-Min Hae Kyung.
I don't think it will be her.
Be quiet. I can't hear what he is saying.
Noh Sa Yeon!
Congratulations.
Our meeting was not coincidence.
-1992...-You don't know me!
-KBS Song Festival.-This time I'm going to be right.
-KBS Song Festival.-I bet it's Tatata.
Wrong...
This year it's going to be...
Shin Seung Hoon!
-1992's winner is...-Shin Seung Hoon...
Shin Seung Hoon...
-Congratulations.-Shin Seung Hoon!
-I'm so sure this year...-We will reveal the result now.
If I really can't get it right this year...
I'll be your kid.
Just wait and see.
This year's winner will be...
Seo Taiji's "Hayeoga."
Seo Taiji and the Kids!
How could I never...
ever get it right?
It's about time I would get it right.
"October 8th, 1994"Honey...
-Hold on to me.-You're doing well.
-Honey...-You're doing well.
What's all this fuss about?
Oh my! Do you like it that much?
You're going to hurt yourself there.
You went grocery shopping?
Why not just order in?
Oh no.
The kids don't eat well as it is.
I should cook for them when I can.
They're all coming, right?
Yeah, Jung Hwan is coming because it's the weekend.
Deok Sun will be here in the evening
because of her work schedule.
What about Dong Ryong?
I heard he's busy working at his brother's restaurant.
They are all coming home.
You know they always gather for Taek's birthday.
Though I suppose Taek is the busiest.
Let's feed the kids
and then we can play a round of Go-stop.
I'm in.
-Get it ready and wait for me.-Okay.
Get back on. Get back to your date.
-This time, let's go from here to there.-Wait, honey!
They are really...
Dad, 1,000 won.
You said 100 won for one each.
1,000 won.
I see black hairs too.
I pulled out more than ten.
I'm giving you a discount here.
Jin Joo, mum is here.
I said I wanted to go with you.
You should have given me a call.
Today, Jung Hwan, Deok Sun
and everyone else are coming.
Oh my, it's been a long time! Really.
Do you like it that much?
You should just stick that right there
and look at it every day and night.
I saved a lot... a lot.
Soon, we'll be able to move out of this basement.
That's right.
Why must we live in a basement with no sun forever?
But now that our two daughters have started working,
it sure helps us to save more money.
They're better than me.
If I knew this, I should have had only daughters.
Daughters are the best.
No, it's not that daughters are great.
It's that our daughters are the best.
Deok Sun is coming today for sure, isn't she?
Of course, it's Taek's birthday today.
Bo Ra is coming later tonight because she's free tomorrow.
Now that you brought it up,
I'm glad my daughters are making money.
But now they are too busy to come home and have a meal.
I see their faces on the weekends
and then they're gone.
Then one day, these girls...
they will get married
and how will I live in this empty house?
Yeah, you are right.
Oh my, why are you crying about it now?
I'm just bringing up the future.
Don't cry so easily.
It's not so far in the future.
Just you wait a bit.
They will bring someone here
and say they are going to get married.
Well, were you planning to live with them
for thousands of years?
Are you okay with it?
I'm getting teary already.
Just thinking about it...
I don't know
if I could enter the wedding hall like this.
Why are you crying? Just wait and see.
During Deok Sun and Bo Ra's wedding days,
I'll be holding their hands and dancing happily.
Are you for real?
I'll be watching you to see if you cry or not.
You can watch over me.
If I cry even a bit at the wedding hall,
I'll be your dog's son.
Where's your mum? Is she still riding the bike?
Her bicycle made her way into my heart...
Mi Ran! You are really good now.
You should just go now. Go faster.
That's right.
Honey!
Oh no! Honey!
Honey, are you all right?
Honey! Oh my God!
Mum, I'm home.
-What about dinner?-I already ate.
Okay.
You can go home early today.
You worked hard staying up all night.
See you tomorrow.
Thank you.
Sun Woo, you know there's a class reunion, right?
We're going to Space today.
You're definitely in the basement. Dream on.
Hey, come on.
I can't follow you today.
It's my closest friend's birthday.
What?
It's Choi Taek 9-dan's birthday.
I'll be going now.
Hey. Tell him happy birthday.
I'll be going now.
Why are you going home so early today, Choi Taek 9-dan?
I have plans with my friends.
I know that.
Your juniors wanted to have a birthday party for you,
but I stopped them.
I told them that you had important plans.
Thank you.
-You bring your car, right?-Yes.
Should I pull it around for you?
Don't go in and out a hundred times like last time.
I parked it in a wider spot this time around.
I'll be going.
He bought a car?
You didn't know?
He got it as a prize
after winning the Toyota competition.
Choi Taek 9-dan actually drives?
That car moves?
It does move.
But he doesn't know how to park it properly.
Mum, I'm home.
-Jung Hwan.-Son...
-Brother!-Jung Hwan.
-Son...-Jung Hwan...
Mum, I'm home.
Dad, your second daughter is home.
Deok Sun!
No Eul! Why have you gotten so young?
Get in here, you wench!
Do you have anything you need me to do?
Study.
His nickname is Trash.
What?
Thanks. I'll pay you back.
You make it obvious you're from Seoul.
You don't need to pay me back.
I'm popular too!
Don't get dumped this time, Deok Sun.
I'm not getting dumped!
Why can't you date?
I made a lot of effort.
You should put a lot more effort.
You're going to die without telling her how you feel.
Deok Sun...
I wanted to tell you this for a long time.
