Keoteunkol (2022): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
CURTAIN CALL
How was the drive here?
EPISODE 4
It was fine.
Wait, Se-yeon.
The car you sent to pick me up...
What was it?
You know, the big, black car?
The thing with that car is
that if I could push back the seat,
I could stretch my legs.
It was such a comfortable ride.
-You're the best. Thank you.
-That's great.
Miss Park Se-yeon.
Yes, sir. How can I help you?
You seemed close to someone
I've never met before.
I see. I will call a manager for you.
I'm off now, and I'm on personal business.
Exactly.
I called you because it seemed private.
Well...
-What's going on?
-I'm the man who will marry Miss Park.
What?
You seem close to the woman
I'm going to marry. Who are you?
Se-yeon.
Is everything this comrade is saying true?
-No, Moon-seong. Don't worry about it.
-Did you hear that?
I heard about the cousin
who came from North Korea.
It must've been difficult
to cross the border.
I'll take care of you like my own brother.
Shall we talk over tea?
-Bae Dong-jae.
-What?
So,
we met just now, right?
-Of course.
-But you're speaking informally.
It makes us feel closer, no?
Where I came from,
we don't answer to such impoliteness.
Se-yeon.
Let's go.
Sorry for speaking informally.
I thought it'd be better
if we appeared closer.
I've never seen her like that before.
What do you think?
I can only say
that you and Grandma are amazing.
-Moon-seong.
-Yes?
I am so sorry.
Wait. What are you doing?
I need to clean up.
No way!
I broke the cup, and I'm younger than you.
Why should you bother with my mess?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You okay? Are you hurt?
I am fine.
That was a surprise.
You run around,
taking care of everyone else,
but it seems you don't know how
to take care of yourself.
It may be because my habit
as a hotelier kicked in.
By the way,
I've never thought of it that way,
nor had anybody told me that.
I hope that's the case.
What?
No, it's nothing.
Feel free to tell me what to do
from now on.
Really?
Isn't that what a younger brother is for?
Splendid.
I've always envied my friends
who have reliable younger brothers.
I also used to think how nice it would be
if I had a sibling, older or younger.
I mean, when I was young. But now...
Go ahead and drink.
Here's your juice.
Are you really trying
to sell the hotel for money?
Don't you have enough cash?
What do you want to know?
I mean, Nakwon is a symbol of our family.
Also, Bilton knows
what a great hotel this is.
That's why I'm selling it.
What do you mean? But why?
Why is that?
You always walk away while I'm talking.
Stay
On the path
That a wife must take
It's really fascinating that
people sing this song even over there.
Isn't it, ma'am?
It was a song before the liberation.
It's called "The Enlightenment Song."
They played it often when I was a child.
I see.
-Anything else?
-Yeah, is there another one?
I'm not sure if you know this song.
The baby briers
Are in bloom
The land of the South is my hometown
A small cottage
On the hill
How much I miss it all
Biting purple sash
Between my teeth
Soaked in tears
She's a songbird.
You used to sing
Farewell songs to me
I will never forget you
You sing really well.
-You could be a singer.
-Wow, really.
I've never seen her smile
like that before.
That's enough for me.
Se-yeon, how can a hotel be so enormous?
-Look, Se-yeon.
-Yes?
I have a cell phone.
-Where did you get it?
-Comrade Sang-cheol got this for me.
That's great.
Isn't this the embodiment of capitalism?
Can I have your telephone number, please?
You want my digits, huh?
Digits? What's that?
Digits. Like numbers.
Right. Digits, as in numbers.
"You want my digits, my phone number."
Then I'd like your digits.
Sure.
So, this is your number?
-Hi, Moon-seong.
-Se-yeon, I can hear you well.
-Can you hear me?
-Yes, I hear you well.
Wait. I have something to tell you.
-Hey.
-What?
We have a problem.
-What is it?
-We have to play golf tomorrow.
What the hell are you saying?
Shit. Here's the thing.
Golf?
Yes.
You mean, hitting a ball while walking
and getting a sunburned face
under the scorching sun?
Golf is so popular right now.
What does it have to do with me?
Nothing beats golf when it comes to
getting to know new people.
No way. I don't want to.
How can I possibly play
when I've never done it before?
That's why I am going to teach you.
If you learn the basics, rather than
playing awkwardly, you get better quickly.
-I'm not interested.
-Bring your wife too.
A lot of couples play together.
Well,
I will have to discuss that with my wife.
Let's go.
So, I just couldn't say no to her face.
Don't look at me like that.
It has been decided for us.
We must play golf tomorrow.
Playing golf isn't the problem.
The real problem is...
-I shoot 80.
-Come again?
I'm really good.
Do you know it's harder for a good player
to pretend not to play well?
Of course I know.
That's the problem.
How about you?
What?
You can't play golf, can you?
Yes, I can.
What?
Why the hell would you play?
Since I was young, my parents...
Doesn't matter.
We can't go.
We can't take such a risk.
-Let's tell her you're sick.
-All of a sudden?
Tell her you have an upset stomach
and can't make it.
Okay, let's go with that.
Moon-seong.
Yes, Se-yeon.
Here.
I got these for you guys.
-What are these?
-Golf starts with golf apparel.
This outfit will get you halfway there.
Oh, really?
Be sure you wear that tomorrow.
You too, Jin-suk.
-Thank you, Se-yeon.
-Sure.
Do you see this?
We have to go tomorrow.
Looks that way.
My head hurts. What do we do?
Jae-heon.
Switch your hands.
-What?
-Use your weak hand.
That way, you won't be able to play well
even if you try.
Try it.
This is how we usually hold it,
but the opposite way...
I can't play anymore!
-Right?
-This is what I'll do.
You said you were busy.
Obviously you practiced.
No, I didn't.
You both look fabulous.
They say clothes make the man.
You have impeccable taste.
You want to try this?
I've never learned it properly.
Just have fun in the beginning.
It'll motivate you later.
You're right. You go first.
Gently wrap it with your right hand.
You stretch it out at first.
That's right.
And then bring it to here.
Bravo! Birdie!
It doesn't seem like you're playing
for the first time.
"Soksalssusigae" skill
is about getting the hang of it.
"Soksalssusigae"?
You call the putter Soksalssusigae?
By the way, birdie is just "birdie"?
That's right. I heard it too.
You said "birdie."
It's called ppar in North Korea.
We use the Western term for "birdie."
Wait. Hold on.
Good. Why don't you help him?
You're holding it wrong.
-Look.
-I see.
Put your right hand here first,
then you wrap it with your thumb.
And then...
What about Se-yeon?
She wants to take care of him
because he's family.
A cousin that she's never met
from North Korea.
She said, "I'd like you to live with us
for the rest of our lives."
Say something, please.
Whether he is family or not,
we cannot be so sure yet.
What are you saying?
How do we know
that he's actually Ri Moon-seong?
What?
A grandson she's been searching for
appears with such dramatic timing?
Well, something like this doesn't happen
by chance or miracle.
So, you're saying
our little cousin Ri Moon-seong could be
a con artist?
You've seen too much TV.
That ain't it.
Park Se-gyu.
When you decided not to get involved
with the hotel or the family,
I respected your decision.
Yeah, I know.
However, if you refuse to be
on anybody's side or protect anything,
when you lose the things you took for
granted, you'll have no say in the matter.
What do you mean? Lose what?
Whether he is real or fake,
just think about what would happen
if he stayed.
You came to see me because you're anxious.
You never call me first.
Cousin, what is this?
I am so sorry.
I hope I didn't wake your wife.
I don't know if she woke up or not.
The night's just begun.
It's a crime to sleep at this hour
in this democracy... that is, South Korea.
I'm going to take you
to a few awesome places. Let's go.
I want to welcome you to Seoul properly.
Right now, in the middle of the night?
You don't know how long you'll be here,
so you may as well get a taste of life
here before heading back.
I bet you've never seen a place like this.
Isn't this awesome?
-Yes.
-Do you feel awkward?
Cheers!
what would you like to do?
What do you mean?
You've reunited with Grandma
and have family here now.
However, your new family is not like
any other family.
So isn't this a great opportunity
for you to do everything you haven't done
but would love to do?
I just want to live a modest
and quiet life with my wife.
Who would want to live a loud, crazy life?
You are modest.
What do you want?
Me? I don't want anything.
I already have everything.
-Easy and slow.
-Easy and slow.
You know what?
Se-yeon and I love that you are here.
Well, my brother is like...
I mean, he's the eldest.
He is suspicious of you.
-Is that so?
-So, I have an idea.
Let's make it undeniable.
Perhaps a DNA test
would settle it right away.
-DNA test?
-Oh, you guys don't have that up there?
Oh, a paternity test.
We do a lot of paternity tests here.
We put a few strands of hair in a machine
and find out whether you're family or not
right away.
Shall we? Come on.
Oh, my!
Cousin!
I am disappointed.
I came all the way just to see my grandma,
and that's what you have to say to me?
Have a seat.
Sit down.
I know what you've been through.
Of course I do.
That's why you should just get rid of
any potential for doubt.
Then enjoy your life comfortably
here in the South.
Does Grandma know about this?
Does she now that you two are suspicious
and are conspiring against me?
Why are you so serious all of a sudden?
I'm doing this for you.
-This is why reunification isn't easy.
-I'm not interested!
You don't even know where you're going.
-Let go of me.
-Hey, babe.
Se-gyu.
It's been so long.
I don't see you around anymore.
Right. I have no idea why.
I am sorry. You've gotten prettier
since I last saw you.
Did that jog your memory?
Maybe I remember you, maybe I don't.
Where's the need for violence?
What did you say?
-No, no!
-Get over here!
-Wait, wait!
-Damn you!
Wait, wait. Calm down! Calm down, comrade!
Who the hell are you?
I am this man's cousin!
Se-gyu, are you okay?
You've got to be kidding.
Wait, wait.
What the hell?
It's not me!
I've got nothing to do with you!
Get over here.
-Wait.
-Please let go!
Let me go! Let's talk!
You're hurting my head!
That woman was as strong as a bull.
Who was she?
-I have no clue.
-What?
I tried to remember,
but I really have no idea.
How can you laugh
when we had our hair ripped out?
This is one of my favorite places.
I'd be too embarrassed to come back.
Se-gyu,
are you really not interested
in the hotel business?
Yeah. Life is good without it.
In technical terms, we call it "ballin'."
Everyone runs so hard towards their goals
and tries to accomplish something.
Well, is that really necessary?
No one knows what tomorrow brings.
You work yourself to death, and suddenly
you can drop dead just like that.
How pointless and shameful would that be?
Wouldn't be even more pointless
to not try at all
because you think it's pointless?
I've come this far
just to see Grandma
without knowing what was ahead of me.
Wouldn't it be more terrifying
to regret not doing anything
than to feel like it's all pointless?
So,
you went out with Se-gyu
in the middle of the night?
Yes. It was him, Se-gyu. The odd one out.
I was kidnapped and interrogated,
and I was so anxious.
Mr. Jeong,
you'll have to pay double for the risk.
-You were kidnapped and interrogated?
-Yes.
I took him to a club last night.
I asked our young cousin to take
a DNA test
so we can clear the air
and keep things simple.
It's a great idea.
-So?
-What do you mean, "so"?
I flat-out asked him to give me his hair.
What?
He was surprised at first.
I haven't known you that long,
but I think...
you are a lot of fun.
What I tried to pull tonight was not...
In order not to be awkward in the future,
that paternity test...
Are you out of your mind, you idiot?
The more suspicious they are,
the more you have to push forward.
A thought came to me later.
He didn't even really do anything,
but it was absurd of me to be wary,
judgmental and doubtful.
So you trust him
because you hung out once?
It's not that I trust him. I just don't
feel like doubting him anymore.
Look.
Why did you give it to him?
Mr. Jeong,
do you really think I gave him my hair?
What?
You took Se-gyu's hair?
So whether they test it or not,
no need to worry.
So, you mean
it's better to get tested
than be suspected by family members.
Exactly.
Wow. You're pretty clever.
That's good.

So he is her grandson.
Grandma, how do you like it here?
Isn't it beautiful?
Yes, it is.
It soothes me.
The sea was so calm and peaceful.
It's the same sea,
but the waves...
were so cruel and unkind to me.
I can finally appreciate
the beauty of the sea.
Ma'am, I didn't know you were here.
There you are, Mr. Jeong.
Why don't you come sit with me?
I will.
You look really happy today, ma'am.
Do I?
Mr. Jeong.
You look like you're in a good mood.
Me?
I've never seen that look
on your face before.
Grandma.
Do you know how firm Mr. Jeong is with us?
His solemnity beats anybody's.
-Is he really?
-Yes.
You shouldn't be afraid of him.
He was such a troublemaker
when he was your age.
You'd never seen such a thug.
For real? Was he really?
He cried and clung to me.
He asked for just one chance
and said he would never waste his life.
He promised he would turn his life around.
Grandma, it's Se-yeon.
Se-yeon.
I am with Grandma and Mr. Jeong.
Everything's okay here.
What?
You mean, right now?
I'm pretty close to the hotel.
I'll come over.
Sure.
Se-yeon wants me to meet her at the hotel.
Okay. Go ahead.
Mr. Jeong, I leave her in your hands.
Of course.
So, you used to be...
Ta-da.
EIGHT-PROVINCE EXCURSION PROJECT
FOR RI MOON-SEONG
I got something for you.
Oh, what's this?
Since it's you and your wife's first time
in South Korea,
I made an itinerary for you to visit
the most famous tourist attractions
for seven nights and eight days.
It's the Eight-Province Excursion Project.
What do you think? Look at this.
Se-yeon.
It's only been a short while
since we got here.
-So we know nothing about its geography.
-No worries.
I'm going to be your guide.
-Look at this.
-What?
On the first day,
we'll be in Seoul and go to a museum.
Gangwon-do, then Gyeongsang-do.
Oh, we're going to Busan.
Then to Chungcheong-do. That's it.
So what do you think?
You prepared all this?
Se-yeon.
You see,
there was something
I always said to Jin-suk.
If we go to South Korea,
we want to travel
where our feet take us without planning.
We should be able to travel
without feeling like
we're pressed for time.
I see.
I'd like to go...
on a trip...
with just Jin-suk.
Would you mind if we did that?
No. Go ahead.
I appreciate what you tried to do here.
It's a shame.
Going sightseeing?
Yes.
We haven't been anywhere
since we came to South Korea.
I hear there are a lot of tourist sites.
-Sunny...
-Sunnyland.
Sunnyland.
Right. I heard Sunnyland is famous here.
Just as Mt. Kumgang is famous
in North Korea,
Mt. Seoraksan is famous here.
I'd like to go there.
There is a famous saying:
"The East Sea and Mt. Paektu."
I'd like to see what the East Sea is like.
-That's right.
-All right.
You couldn't go anywhere
because you were spending time with me.
Feel free to go.
For how many days will it be?
-We're planning for about seven days.
-Seven days.
Hey, stay put.
This is for you.
What's this, Grandma?
Oh, my.
No, thank you, Grandma.
-Take it.
-I can't.
-It's for you.
-Please don't.
Eat delicious food
and buy whatever you want.
Have a good time there
and come back safely, okay?
Yes.
We're free.
The air's different. I can breathe now.
All right.
Get in the car.
Let us know if anything happens.
Don't give us any surprises.
-Yeah, Mr. Jeong. Think of your age.
-Get in.
Yes, sir.
It's already been 30 years.
Time really flies, right?
The kids who left here are still asking me
who Daddy Long Legs is.
When I was also here as a kid,
there was another Daddy Long Legs.
I'm just happy to see the kids here,
growing up well, with hopes and dreams.
That's enough for me.
Oh, that's right.
Do you remember Jae-heon?
Well, yes. You mean that kid
whose dream was to be an actor?
Well, he sent me a donation
for taking on a big role this time.
That's a huge amount of money.
Is that so?
Can you guess how much he donated?
I knew you'd be surprised.
-Saving a whole lot for himself, huh?
-Pardon me?
Oh, it's nothing, Sister.
Damn it.
ACCOUNT HISTORY
BALANCE: 126,852,984 WON
Thousand, ten thousand,
one million, ten million, billion!
Cash withdrawal for all of it?
Yes.
All cash, please.
AWARD - SEO YOON-HEE
Mom.
You scared me!
You told me you wouldn't be home
for three months.
-I just dropped by.
-You never picked up. Where have you been?
Well, I told you I'd be doing a play.
You could've called me back.
I just couldn't.
Have you taken any new cases?
I've been working on
a hotel M&A case recently.
It's the Nakwon Group. You know it, right?
Well, I've heard of it.
The chairwoman's condition
is quite critical.
After the chairwoman passes away,
the eldest son will sell it,
but the youngest of the family
seems to be against the sale.
Oh, really?
I see.
I can't sell the 230 million-won car
because of your fingerprints on it.
You put a jinx on it.
Bite me!
I've got to go!
Excuse me. How much is this car?
Welcome.
You know a lot about cars, huh?
-This car has impeccable records.
-Hey, Mr. Park.
Hey, Superstar Mr. Yoo.
It's been a while.
Good to see you.
Here's coffee for you, Superstar Mr. Yoo.
You're performing these days?
How's it going?
I'm not sure if it's going well
or not going well.
Is it sort of iffy?
Yeah, iffy.
Our lives are uncertain too.
Hey, I got paid a lot this time.
Well, how much could it be?
You bastard.
It's on me.
Have another coffee and just go.
Hey.
What's the price?
Why are you asking? You can't afford it.
I can. I'm going to buy it.
-No, you can't.
-I'm going to buy it.
After all this time, you talk nonsense.
-I'll buy it now.
-Stop talking nonsense.
I'm tired of guys like you.
You say you'll buy, but you have
terrible credit... What's this?
Hey.
Isn't this enough?
Hey. Do you sell drugs these days?
Are you crazy?
No, I was paid in advance.
It's my money that I withdrew, my cash.
Seriously?
So, you selling me the car or what?
I'll take good care of you,
as our VIP customer.
When are you getting off?
I just got off.
Let's hit the road.
Let's go!
Let's drive!
Let's go!
Everything is on me today!
Do whatever you want, No-kwang.
Let's go all the way.
-There's no tomorrow!
-No tomorrow!
Here you are.
Are you the top customer at this club?
Why the hell would you ask that?
You just killed the mood.
Is that a question for me now?
-Hey, Wook. Come here.
-Yes, sir.
She's asking me who the top customer is.
Answer her, please.
Well, I mean...
What?
We have first-timers tonight.
The guys in that VIP room are
number one today.
What?
Who the hell... Let's go.
Attention!
I may not be much good for anything else,
but my pride will not allow me
to be inferior in this matter.
-Waiter.
-Yes, sir.
Get me the tiger moth combo, please!
Two combos, please!
Two combos!
Thanks to my friend, I'm on cloud nine.
No-kwang.
Keep it down, please!
No-kwang.
Don't just stand there. Come over here.
Hey, Superstar Mr. Yoo.
What's going on? Why are you here alone?
Hey, No-kwang.
Excuse me. I'm sorry, girls.
-Please leave.
-Say what?
-That's right. I'm asking you to leave.
-Hey, it's number one.
You promised me a date.
Pull yourself together.
Mr. Park!
Please void the whole thing.
Just this once.
Please cut me some slack.
I'm begging you, please.
Hey!
Is this a game of pool?
A game of Go?
You can move a billiard ball.
You can move a piece in Go.
But this is a car.
You bought this. You can't take it back.
Because you said I couldn't afford it.
Just once, please. Just once.
Take it back, please.
-I'm begging you, Mr. Park.
-Damn it.
Please take the car back. Please.
Hey.
Look. No one knows we were in this car.
It's nice and clean.
The wheels are clean.
Can you see any scratches?
There aren't any. Please take it back.
I'm begging you. Please take it back.
I've already torn up the contract.
-What?
-Well, if you didn't hear me...
Hey, you punk.
Don't come near me. Stay away.
You rock, Mr. Park!
You are the best!
You blew my mind!
I'm going to deposit all of this.
You're depositing all of it?
Yes.
Hi, Yoon-hee. What's up?
Wow. I love this.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
But what for?
What's with you?
How should I know
if you're not going to explain?
What did we tell Grandma?
We said we'd be traveling
all over South Korea.
-Yeah.
-That means we need proof.
We need to buy souvenirs
and take pictures too.
We won't have enough evidence.
I can't believe you didn't think of this.
Where did we tell her we were going?
Sunnyland, Mt. Seoraksan...
Mt. Seoraksan. What else?
I think I said something
about the East Sea.
Damn it.
We don't have time to go
everywhere we mentioned.
I got it. Let's do this.
Hey, should I put it here?
Down a bit.
-Here?
-Yeah, right there.
-Right here, okay?
-Yeah.
Good.
Do you see what I'm doing?
I get it.
Doesn't it look like the beach
in Yangyang?
Smile.
-Go lower.
-Like this?
Lower.
Okay, now.
This is good.
Okay. The picture came out like this.
We're not done yet. Hang on.
-What now?
-This is only the beginning.
What's that?
Wow.
You have all sorts of talents.
It's just calligraphy.
Just calligraphy.
What else should I draw?
-Draw a heart here.
-What?
It's our first trip. Draw a heart.
Oh, come on. A heart? Do I need to?
Just draw it, please. Is that so hard?
Hold on.
BLUE OCEAN IN YANGYANG
Are you happy now?
It's cute.
It's good, right?
Yeah.
Wait a sec.
Put it on. It's cute.
SUNNYLAND - FULL OF LOVE
HARDER TO CLIMB THAN MT. PAEKTU
Give me a tired look. One, two, three.
Hey. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Who's calling?
-What do we do?
-I don't know. Do something.
Hello, Se-yeon.
Hey, Moon-seong.
How's the trip? Enjoying yourselves?
Yes.
It's amazing that there are
so many beautiful places in South Korea.
Right? So where are you now?
Jeju Island.
Well...
I'm...
on Jeju Island.
Was there such a beautiful island
at the southern end of Korea?
What a great view.
Hey, Moon-seong.
Look at this tall tree!
Is it called a palm tree?
It's so fascinating.
I think Grandma feels lonely without you.
You are coming back now, right?
Yes, Se-yeon. We'll be there soon.
See you when I get back.
Thank you.
They seem to be having fun.
It would be much more fun for them
than staying home with an old woman.
They must be having
the time of their lives.
Grandma, they sent a picture from Jeju.
Did they travel like this?
Look at them.
Oh, "Grandma is like a baby,
just learning to walk."
You'd just begun to walk.
They are so cute, aren't they?
So cute.
Look at them.
ANALYSIS OF RI MOON-SEONG'S
WHEREABOUTS
Sang-cheol, I finally found him.
Check it out.
Can you guess where I started?
I had to get information
from a local in Yanbian
through the Korean-Chinese community here.
Sang-cheol, you don't look very enthused.
It was so hard to find him.
Okay. Good job.
Come on, Sang-cheol.
Well done. You can stop.
-What?
-You don't have to bring him here.
What the hell? What about me?
-I'll pay you the rest of the balance.
-What then?
Were you going to pay me extra,
had I brought him here?
Yes, I'll give you all that.
That settles it, right?
If you say so.
But why are you killing this job?
It's a shame we're stopping
after I've found him.
You said he's garbage.
Yeah, for sure.
Well, then what good is garbage?
That's true.
Let's just say...
none of this ever happened.
-Yes, Sang-cheol.
-See you.
RI MOON-SEONG
NAKWON INN
Jong-mun.
Jong-mun.
Geum-sun.
It's all right now.
You've been through so much.
What was that?
Grandma.
Grandma.
Grandma.
MEDICINE
Grandma?
Where are you, Grandma? Grandma?
Grandma?
BLUE OCEAN IN YANGYANG
CURTAIN CALL
Please give me some time
to put my affairs in order.
I'm helping you celebrate your first day.
Trust me. I'll take good care of him.
The jerks who grew up with plenty
are selfish.
You're so full of yourself!
Will he not like me?
He's pissing me off.
I'll find a way not to let him go.
Watch out!
Se-yeon.
Shouldn't I have brought him to the hotel?
How was the drive here?
EPISODE 4
It was fine.
Wait, Se-yeon.
The car you sent to pick me up...
What was it?
You know, the big, black car?
The thing with that car is
that if I could push back the seat,
I could stretch my legs.
It was such a comfortable ride.
-You're the best. Thank you.
-That's great.
Miss Park Se-yeon.
Yes, sir. How can I help you?
You seemed close to someone
I've never met before.
I see. I will call a manager for you.
I'm off now, and I'm on personal business.
Exactly.
I called you because it seemed private.
Well...
-What's going on?
-I'm the man who will marry Miss Park.
What?
You seem close to the woman
I'm going to marry. Who are you?
Se-yeon.
Is everything this comrade is saying true?
-No, Moon-seong. Don't worry about it.
-Did you hear that?
I heard about the cousin
who came from North Korea.
It must've been difficult
to cross the border.
I'll take care of you like my own brother.
Shall we talk over tea?
-Bae Dong-jae.
-What?
So,
we met just now, right?
-Of course.
-But you're speaking informally.
It makes us feel closer, no?
Where I came from,
we don't answer to such impoliteness.
Se-yeon.
Let's go.
Sorry for speaking informally.
I thought it'd be better
if we appeared closer.
I've never seen her like that before.
What do you think?
I can only say
that you and Grandma are amazing.
-Moon-seong.
-Yes?
I am so sorry.
Wait. What are you doing?
I need to clean up.
No way!
I broke the cup, and I'm younger than you.
Why should you bother with my mess?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You okay? Are you hurt?
I am fine.
That was a surprise.
You run around,
taking care of everyone else,
but it seems you don't know how
to take care of yourself.
It may be because my habit
as a hotelier kicked in.
By the way,
I've never thought of it that way,
nor had anybody told me that.
I hope that's the case.
What?
No, it's nothing.
Feel free to tell me what to do
from now on.
Really?
Isn't that what a younger brother is for?
Splendid.
I've always envied my friends
who have reliable younger brothers.
I also used to think how nice it would be
if I had a sibling, older or younger.
I mean, when I was young. But now...
Go ahead and drink.
Here's your juice.
Are you really trying
to sell the hotel for money?
Don't you have enough cash?
What do you want to know?
I mean, Nakwon is a symbol of our family.
Also, Bilton knows
what a great hotel this is.
That's why I'm selling it.
What do you mean? But why?
Why is that?
You always walk away while I'm talking.
Stay
On the path
That a wife must take
It's really fascinating that
people sing this song even over there.
Isn't it, ma'am?
It was a song before the liberation.
It's called "The Enlightenment Song."
They played it often when I was a child.
I see.
-Anything else?
-Yeah, is there another one?
I'm not sure if you know this song.
The baby briers
Are in bloom
The land of the South is my hometown
A small cottage
On the hill
How much I miss it all
Biting purple sash
Between my teeth
Soaked in tears
She's a songbird.
You used to sing
Farewell songs to me
I will never forget you
You sing really well.
-You could be a singer.
-Wow, really.
I've never seen her smile
like that before.
That's enough for me.
Se-yeon, how can a hotel be so enormous?
-Look, Se-yeon.
-Yes?
I have a cell phone.
-Where did you get it?
-Comrade Sang-cheol got this for me.
That's great.
Isn't this the embodiment of capitalism?
Can I have your telephone number, please?
You want my digits, huh?
Digits? What's that?
Digits. Like numbers.
Right. Digits, as in numbers.
"You want my digits, my phone number."
Then I'd like your digits.
Sure.
So, this is your number?
-Hi, Moon-seong.
-Se-yeon, I can hear you well.
-Can you hear me?
-Yes, I hear you well.
Wait. I have something to tell you.
-Hey.
-What?
We have a problem.
-What is it?
-We have to play golf tomorrow.
What the hell are you saying?
Shit. Here's the thing.
Golf?
Yes.
You mean, hitting a ball while walking
and getting a sunburned face
under the scorching sun?
Golf is so popular right now.
What does it have to do with me?
Nothing beats golf when it comes to
getting to know new people.
No way. I don't want to.
How can I possibly play
when I've never done it before?
That's why I am going to teach you.
If you learn the basics, rather than
playing awkwardly, you get better quickly.
-I'm not interested.
-Bring your wife too.
A lot of couples play together.
Well,
I will have to discuss that with my wife.
Let's go.
So, I just couldn't say no to her face.
Don't look at me like that.
It has been decided for us.
We must play golf tomorrow.
Playing golf isn't the problem.
The real problem is...
-I shoot 80.
-Come again?
I'm really good.
Do you know it's harder for a good player
to pretend not to play well?
Of course I know.
That's the problem.
How about you?
What?
You can't play golf, can you?
Yes, I can.
What?
Why the hell would you play?
Since I was young, my parents...
Doesn't matter.
We can't go.
We can't take such a risk.
-Let's tell her you're sick.
-All of a sudden?
Tell her you have an upset stomach
and can't make it.
Okay, let's go with that.
Moon-seong.
Yes, Se-yeon.
Here.
I got these for you guys.
-What are these?
-Golf starts with golf apparel.
This outfit will get you halfway there.
Oh, really?
Be sure you wear that tomorrow.
You too, Jin-suk.
-Thank you, Se-yeon.
-Sure.
Do you see this?
We have to go tomorrow.
Looks that way.
My head hurts. What do we do?
Jae-heon.
Switch your hands.
-What?
-Use your weak hand.
That way, you won't be able to play well
even if you try.
Try it.
This is how we usually hold it,
but the opposite way...
I can't play anymore!
-Right?
-This is what I'll do.
You said you were busy.
Obviously you practiced.
No, I didn't.
You both look fabulous.
They say clothes make the man.
You have impeccable taste.
You want to try this?
I've never learned it properly.
Just have fun in the beginning.
It'll motivate you later.
You're right. You go first.
Gently wrap it with your right hand.
You stretch it out at first.
That's right.
And then bring it to here.
Bravo! Birdie!
It doesn't seem like you're playing
for the first time.
"Soksalssusigae" skill
is about getting the hang of it.
"Soksalssusigae"?
You call the putter Soksalssusigae?
By the way, birdie is just "birdie"?
That's right. I heard it too.
You said "birdie."
It's called ppar in North Korea.
We use the Western term for "birdie."
Wait. Hold on.
Good. Why don't you help him?
You're holding it wrong.
-Look.
-I see.
Put your right hand here first,
then you wrap it with your thumb.
And then...
What about Se-yeon?
She wants to take care of him
because he's family.
A cousin that she's never met
from North Korea.
She said, "I'd like you to live with us
for the rest of our lives."
Say something, please.
Whether he is family or not,
we cannot be so sure yet.
What are you saying?
How do we know
that he's actually Ri Moon-seong?
What?
A grandson she's been searching for
appears with such dramatic timing?
Well, something like this doesn't happen
by chance or miracle.
So, you're saying
our little cousin Ri Moon-seong could be
a con artist?
You've seen too much TV.
That ain't it.
Park Se-gyu.
When you decided not to get involved
with the hotel or the family,
I respected your decision.
Yeah, I know.
However, if you refuse to be
on anybody's side or protect anything,
when you lose the things you took for
granted, you'll have no say in the matter.
What do you mean? Lose what?
Whether he is real or fake,
just think about what would happen
if he stayed.
You came to see me because you're anxious.
You never call me first.
Cousin, what is this?
I am so sorry.
I hope I didn't wake your wife.
I don't know if she woke up or not.
The night's just begun.
It's a crime to sleep at this hour
in this democracy... that is, South Korea.
I'm going to take you
to a few awesome places. Let's go.
I want to welcome you to Seoul properly.
Right now, in the middle of the night?
You don't know how long you'll be here,
so you may as well get a taste of life
here before heading back.
I bet you've never seen a place like this.
Isn't this awesome?
-Yes.
-Do you feel awkward?
Cheers!
what would you like to do?
What do you mean?
You've reunited with Grandma
and have family here now.
However, your new family is not like
any other family.
So isn't this a great opportunity
for you to do everything you haven't done
but would love to do?
I just want to live a modest
and quiet life with my wife.
Who would want to live a loud, crazy life?
You are modest.
What do you want?
Me? I don't want anything.
I already have everything.
-Easy and slow.
-Easy and slow.
You know what?
Se-yeon and I love that you are here.
Well, my brother is like...
I mean, he's the eldest.
He is suspicious of you.
-Is that so?
-So, I have an idea.
Let's make it undeniable.
Perhaps a DNA test
would settle it right away.
-DNA test?
-Oh, you guys don't have that up there?
Oh, a paternity test.
We do a lot of paternity tests here.
We put a few strands of hair in a machine
and find out whether you're family or not
right away.
Shall we? Come on.
Oh, my!
Cousin!
I am disappointed.
I came all the way just to see my grandma,
and that's what you have to say to me?
Have a seat.
Sit down.
I know what you've been through.
Of course I do.
That's why you should just get rid of
any potential for doubt.
Then enjoy your life comfortably
here in the South.
Does Grandma know about this?
Does she now that you two are suspicious
and are conspiring against me?
Why are you so serious all of a sudden?
I'm doing this for you.
-This is why reunification isn't easy.
-I'm not interested!
You don't even know where you're going.
-Let go of me.
-Hey, babe.
Se-gyu.
It's been so long.
I don't see you around anymore.
Right. I have no idea why.
I am sorry. You've gotten prettier
since I last saw you.
Did that jog your memory?
Maybe I remember you, maybe I don't.
Where's the need for violence?
What did you say?
-No, no!
-Get over here!
-Wait, wait!
-Damn you!
Wait, wait. Calm down! Calm down, comrade!
Who the hell are you?
I am this man's cousin!
Se-gyu, are you okay?
You've got to be kidding.
Wait, wait.
What the hell?
It's not me!
I've got nothing to do with you!
Get over here.
-Wait.
-Please let go!
Let me go! Let's talk!
You're hurting my head!
That woman was as strong as a bull.
Who was she?
-I have no clue.
-What?
I tried to remember,
but I really have no idea.
How can you laugh
when we had our hair ripped out?
This is one of my favorite places.
I'd be too embarrassed to come back.
Se-gyu,
are you really not interested
in the hotel business?
Yeah. Life is good without it.
In technical terms, we call it "ballin'."
Everyone runs so hard towards their goals
and tries to accomplish something.
Well, is that really necessary?
No one knows what tomorrow brings.
You work yourself to death, and suddenly
you can drop dead just like that.
How pointless and shameful would that be?
Wouldn't be even more pointless
to not try at all
because you think it's pointless?
I've come this far
just to see Grandma
without knowing what was ahead of me.
Wouldn't it be more terrifying
to regret not doing anything
than to feel like it's all pointless?
So,
you went out with Se-gyu
in the middle of the night?
Yes. It was him, Se-gyu. The odd one out.
I was kidnapped and interrogated,
and I was so anxious.
Mr. Jeong,
you'll have to pay double for the risk.
-You were kidnapped and interrogated?
-Yes.
I took him to a club last night.
I asked our young cousin to take
a DNA test
so we can clear the air
and keep things simple.
It's a great idea.
-So?
-What do you mean, "so"?
I flat-out asked him to give me his hair.
What?
He was surprised at first.
I haven't known you that long,
but I think...
you are a lot of fun.
What I tried to pull tonight was not...
In order not to be awkward in the future,
that paternity test...
Are you out of your mind, you idiot?
The more suspicious they are,
the more you have to push forward.
A thought came to me later.
He didn't even really do anything,
but it was absurd of me to be wary,
judgmental and doubtful.
So you trust him
because you hung out once?
It's not that I trust him. I just don't
feel like doubting him anymore.
Look.
Why did you give it to him?
Mr. Jeong,
do you really think I gave him my hair?
What?
You took Se-gyu's hair?
So whether they test it or not,
no need to worry.
So, you mean
it's better to get tested
than be suspected by family members.
Exactly.
Wow. You're pretty clever.
That's good.

PROBABILITY OF DNA MATCH: 99.999%
So he is her grandson.
Grandma, how do you like it here?
Isn't it beautiful?
Yes, it is.
It soothes me.
The sea was so calm and peaceful.
It's the same sea,
but the waves...
were so cruel and unkind to me.
I can finally appreciate
the beauty of the sea.
Ma'am, I didn't know you were here.
There you are, Mr. Jeong.
Why don't you come sit with me?
I will.
You look really happy today, ma'am.
Do I?
Mr. Jeong.
You look like you're in a good mood.
Me?
I've never seen that look
on your face before.
Grandma.
Do you know how firm Mr. Jeong is with us?
His solemnity beats anybody's.
-Is he really?
-Yes.
You shouldn't be afraid of him.
He was such a troublemaker
when he was your age.
You'd never seen such a thug.
For real? Was he really?
He cried and clung to me.
He asked for just one chance
and said he would never waste his life.
He promised he would turn his life around.
Grandma, it's Se-yeon.
Se-yeon.
I am with Grandma and Mr. Jeong.
Everything's okay here.
What?
You mean, right now?
I'm pretty close to the hotel.
I'll come over.
Sure.
Se-yeon wants me to meet her at the hotel.
Okay. Go ahead.
Mr. Jeong, I leave her in your hands.
Of course.
So, you used to be...
Ta-da.
EIGHT-PROVINCE EXCURSION PROJECT
FOR RI MOON-SEONG
I got something for you.
Oh, what's this?
Since it's you and your wife's first time
in South Korea,
I made an itinerary for you to visit
the most famous tourist attractions
for seven nights and eight days.
It's the Eight-Province Excursion Project.
What do you think? Look at this.
Se-yeon.
It's only been a short while
since we got here.
-So we know nothing about its geography.
-No worries.
I'm going to be your guide.
-Look at this.
-What?
On the first day,
we'll be in Seoul and go to a museum.
Gangwon-do, then Gyeongsang-do.
Oh, we're going to Busan.
Then to Chungcheong-do. That's it.
So what do you think?
You prepared all this?
Se-yeon.
You see,
there was something
I always said to Jin-suk.
If we go to South Korea,
we want to travel
where our feet take us without planning.
We should be able to travel
without feeling like
we're pressed for time.
I see.
I'd like to go...
on a trip...
with just Jin-suk.
Would you mind if we did that?
No. Go ahead.
I appreciate what you tried to do here.
It's a shame.
Going sightseeing?
Yes.
We haven't been anywhere
since we came to South Korea.
I hear there are a lot of tourist sites.
-Sunny...
-Sunnyland.
Sunnyland.
Right. I heard Sunnyland is famous here.
Just as Mt. Kumgang is famous
in North Korea,
Mt. Seoraksan is famous here.
I'd like to go there.
There is a famous saying:
"The East Sea and Mt. Paektu."
I'd like to see what the East Sea is like.
-That's right.
-All right.
You couldn't go anywhere
because you were spending time with me.
Feel free to go.
For how many days will it be?
-We're planning for about seven days.
-Seven days.
Hey, stay put.
This is for you.
What's this, Grandma?
Oh, my.
No, thank you, Grandma.
-Take it.
-I can't.
-It's for you.
-Please don't.
Eat delicious food
and buy whatever you want.
Have a good time there
and come back safely, okay?
Yes.
We're free.
The air's different. I can breathe now.
All right.
Get in the car.
Let us know if anything happens.
Don't give us any surprises.
-Yeah, Mr. Jeong. Think of your age.
-Get in.
Yes, sir.
It's already been 30 years.
Time really flies, right?
The kids who left here are still asking me
who Daddy Long Legs is.
When I was also here as a kid,
there was another Daddy Long Legs.
I'm just happy to see the kids here,
growing up well, with hopes and dreams.
That's enough for me.
Oh, that's right.
Do you remember Jae-heon?
Well, yes. You mean that kid
whose dream was to be an actor?
Well, he sent me a donation
for taking on a big role this time.
That's a huge amount of money.
Is that so?
Can you guess how much he donated?
I knew you'd be surprised.
-Saving a whole lot for himself, huh?
-Pardon me?
Oh, it's nothing, Sister.
Damn it.

AWARD - SEO YOON-HEE
Mom.
You scared me!
You told me you wouldn't be home
for three months.
-I just dropped by.
-You never picked up. Where have you been?
Well, I told you I'd be doing a play.
You could've called me back.
I just couldn't.
Have you taken any new cases?
I've been working on
a hotel M&A case recently.
It's the Nakwon Group. You know it, right?
Well, I've heard of it.
The chairwoman's condition
is quite critical.
After the chairwoman passes away,
the eldest son will sell it,
but the youngest of the family
seems to be against the sale.
Oh, really?
I see.
I can't sell the 230 million-won car
because of your fingerprints on it.
You put a jinx on it.
Bite me!
I've got to go!
Excuse me. How much is this car?
Welcome.
You know a lot about cars, huh?
-This car has impeccable records.
-Hey, Mr. Park.
Hey, Superstar Mr. Yoo.
It's been a while.
Good to see you.
Here's coffee for you, Superstar Mr. Yoo.
You're performing these days?
How's it going?
I'm not sure if it's going well
or not going well.
Is it sort of iffy?
Yeah, iffy.
Our lives are uncertain too.
Hey, I got paid a lot this time.
Well, how much could it be?
You bastard.
It's on me.
Have another coffee and just go.
Hey.
What's the price?
Why are you asking? You can't afford it.
I can. I'm going to buy it.
-No, you can't.
-I'm going to buy it.
After all this time, you talk nonsense.
-I'll buy it now.
-Stop talking nonsense.
I'm tired of guys like you.
You say you'll buy, but you have
terrible credit... What's this?
Hey.
Isn't this enough?
Hey. Do you sell drugs these days?
Are you crazy?
No, I was paid in advance.
It's my money that I withdrew, my cash.
Seriously?
So, you selling me the car or what?
I'll take good care of you,
as our VIP customer.
When are you getting off?
I just got off.
Let's hit the road.
Let's go!
Let's drive!
Let's go!
Everything is on me today!
Do whatever you want, No-kwang.
Let's go all the way.
-There's no tomorrow!
-No tomorrow!
Here you are.
Are you the top customer at this club?
Why the hell would you ask that?
You just killed the mood.
Is that a question for me now?
-Hey, Wook. Come here.
-Yes, sir.
She's asking me who the top customer is.
Answer her, please.
Well, I mean...
What?
We have first-timers tonight.
The guys in that VIP room are
number one today.
What?
Who the hell... Let's go.
Attention!
I may not be much good for anything else,
but my pride will not allow me
to be inferior in this matter.
-Waiter.
-Yes, sir.
Get me the tiger moth combo, please!
Two combos, please!
Two combos!
Thanks to my friend, I'm on cloud nine.
No-kwang.
Keep it down, please!
No-kwang.
Don't just stand there. Come over here.
Hey, Superstar Mr. Yoo.
What's going on? Why are you here alone?
Hey, No-kwang.
Excuse me. I'm sorry, girls.
-Please leave.
-Say what?
-That's right. I'm asking you to leave.
-Hey, it's number one.
You promised me a date.
Pull yourself together.
Mr. Park!
Please void the whole thing.
Just this once.
Please cut me some slack.
I'm begging you, please.
Hey!
Is this a game of pool?
A game of Go?
You can move a billiard ball.
You can move a piece in Go.
But this is a car.
You bought this. You can't take it back.
Because you said I couldn't afford it.
Just once, please. Just once.
Take it back, please.
-I'm begging you, Mr. Park.
-Damn it.
Please take the car back. Please.
Hey.
Look. No one knows we were in this car.
It's nice and clean.
The wheels are clean.
Can you see any scratches?
There aren't any. Please take it back.
I'm begging you. Please take it back.
I've already torn up the contract.
-What?
-Well, if you didn't hear me...
Hey, you punk.
Don't come near me. Stay away.
You rock, Mr. Park!
You are the best!
You blew my mind!
I'm going to deposit all of this.
You're depositing all of it?
Yes.
Hi, Yoon-hee. What's up?
Wow. I love this.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
But what for?
What's with you?
How should I know
if you're not going to explain?
What did we tell Grandma?
We said we'd be traveling
all over South Korea.
-Yeah.
-That means we need proof.
We need to buy souvenirs
and take pictures too.
We won't have enough evidence.
I can't believe you didn't think of this.
Where did we tell her we were going?
Sunnyland, Mt. Seoraksan...
Mt. Seoraksan. What else?
I think I said something
about the East Sea.
Damn it.
We don't have time to go
everywhere we mentioned.
I got it. Let's do this.
Hey, should I put it here?
Down a bit.
-Here?
-Yeah, right there.
-Right here, okay?
-Yeah.
Good.
Do you see what I'm doing?
I get it.
Doesn't it look like the beach
in Yangyang?
Smile.
-Go lower.
-Like this?
Lower.
Okay, now.
This is good.
Okay. The picture came out like this.
We're not done yet. Hang on.
-What now?
-This is only the beginning.
What's that?
Wow.
You have all sorts of talents.
It's just calligraphy.
Just calligraphy.
What else should I draw?
-Draw a heart here.
-What?
It's our first trip. Draw a heart.
Oh, come on. A heart? Do I need to?
Just draw it, please. Is that so hard?
Hold on.

Are you happy now?
It's cute.
It's good, right?
Yeah.
Wait a sec.
Put it on. It's cute.
SUNNYLAND - FULL OF LOVE
HARDER TO CLIMB THAN MT. PAEKTU
Give me a tired look. One, two, three.
Hey. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
Who's calling?
-What do we do?
-I don't know. Do something.
Hello, Se-yeon.
Hey, Moon-seong.
How's the trip? Enjoying yourselves?
Yes.
It's amazing that there are
so many beautiful places in South Korea.
Right? So where are you now?
Jeju Island.
Well...
I'm...
on Jeju Island.
Was there such a beautiful island
at the southern end of Korea?
What a great view.
Hey, Moon-seong.
Look at this tall tree!
Is it called a palm tree?
It's so fascinating.
I think Grandma feels lonely without you.
You are coming back now, right?
Yes, Se-yeon. We'll be there soon.
See you when I get back.
Thank you.
They seem to be having fun.
It would be much more fun for them
than staying home with an old woman.
They must be having
the time of their lives.
Grandma, they sent a picture from Jeju.
Did they travel like this?
Look at them.
Oh, "Grandma is like a baby,
just learning to walk."
You'd just begun to walk.
They are so cute, aren't they?
So cute.
Look at them.
ANALYSIS OF RI MOON-SEONG'S
WHEREABOUTS
Sang-cheol, I finally found him.
Check it out.
Can you guess where I started?
I had to get information
from a local in Yanbian
through the Korean-Chinese community here.
Sang-cheol, you don't look very enthused.
It was so hard to find him.
Okay. Good job.
Come on, Sang-cheol.
Well done. You can stop.
-What?
-You don't have to bring him here.
What the hell? What about me?
-I'll pay you the rest of the balance.
-What then?
Were you going to pay me extra,
had I brought him here?
Yes, I'll give you all that.
That settles it, right?
If you say so.
But why are you killing this job?
It's a shame we're stopping
after I've found him.
You said he's garbage.
Yeah, for sure.
Well, then what good is garbage?
That's true.
Let's just say...
none of this ever happened.
-Yes, Sang-cheol.
-See you.

You've been through so much.
What was that?

CURTAIN CALL
Please give me some time
to put my affairs in order.
I'm helping you celebrate your first day.
Trust me. I'll take good care of him.
The jerks who grew up with plenty
are selfish.
You're so full of yourself!
Will he not like me?
He's pissing me off.
I'll find a way not to let him go.
Watch out!
Se-yeon.
Shouldn't I have brought him to the hotel?
