Life Is Beautiful (2010–…): Season 1, Episode 11 - Episode #1.11 - full transcript
Episode 11
Wh... wha... what? Is it really true?
Sure.
- Mom, is it really true?
- Yes.
Did something happen?
Grandmother stopped by earlier
and said for him to move in with her.
Did she change her mind because
she is planning to die? Why all of a sudden?
Do you know why, Sister-in-law?
I think she was bothered
having Father here because of me.
Hyungnim, that's a little
weak of a reason for the change.
She is a little concerned about burdening
your sister-in-law with the ancestral rites.
That's still a weak reason.
She's worried that I
will become ill due to stress.
It's still a very weak reason.
How did Grandmother deal with him
being here? I definitely did not like it.
- Me too.
- Does Father know?
Of course. I told him as soon as I found out.
What did he say?
He was shocked and almost
dropped the tea cup he was holding.
He should definitely be shocked
because I am dumbfounded myself.
I'm sure he felt like he was completely
blind-sided by the news. Blind-sided.
I was blind-sided too.
But I never imagined that
Mother and Father will get back together.
Sister-in-law, did you see the possibility?
Did you, Hyungnim?
- No.
- No way.
Mom never fails to amaze me.
I am feeling dizzy.
I am having trouble concentrating.
I guess I will have to surprise Mr. Know-it-all
Little Hyung with the news.
He found out before he left for work this morning.
What did he say?
Of course, he's utterly against it.
He feels Mother
has dual personality.
Dual personality. Yeah.
That's not it. No. No, treacherous.
Our mom is definitely treacherous.
I have completely given up.
Wow. Mom's concealment ability is truly amazing.
She's just getting caught now.
It's definitely true that a woman is like locked chest.
You can never tell what's inside that chest.
I think you have gone a little too far.
Of course Sister-in-law is exempt.
I cannot exclude you since you are a monster.
That's okay.
I like being a monster, Uncle.
I really enjoyed the meal.
Thank you. I will get going first.
- Don't forget Father's back patch.
- I know.
Oh man, now I have no place to sleep
when I want to escape from Little Hyung.
You have the room Grandfather stayed in.
I like being next to Mom.
I get to touch her breast once in a while.
- What?
- What?
Did you finish eating?
Are you in the bathroom?
Yeah.
You did not eat.
I am washing up.
You should have eaten before washing.
I am almost done.
I told you I am done.
I am done.
Dear.
Yes.
Father is going to Mom's place.
Are you going to Mother's place?
Congratulations.
OK. OK. OK.
Have a nice trip, Grandfather.
- Hey, what are you saying?
- Then what am I suppose to say?
- What am I suppose to say in situation like this?
- Not now.
Let him go alone. Mother will be ashamed.
Oh yeah.
Huh, what?
Since Mom will be ashamed,
she suggested letting him go alone.
Oh yes.
You are not planning to bring that into the house?
You will be sleeping here.
What did you say?
You will be sleeping here.
Wh-what? Here at the veranda?
Yes.
You expect me to live here in the veranda?
Did you expect me to invite you to my room?
How do you expect me to live here?
There is no reason you can't.
Huh, I can't believe this.
I am speechless.
Am I a beggar?
What do you expect me to do
since there is only one room?
Sleep here! Do you want me to
get blown away by the typhoon?
Do you want me to freeze to death in the winter?
We have a nice electric floor heating mat.
Byung Tae's mother.
Byung Tae's mother!
I am not on my last breath.
Stop calling me and say what you need to say.
I just can't do that.
I know I don't deserve any respect the way I lived,
but forget me living here where
I will be flying solo during a typhoon.
No way!
If you don't like it, go back to that Sehwa wench*.
(*His sixth wife)
We need to buy Father a
shaver and after shave lotion.
- Does Father have facial hair?
- Maybe.
He shaved today.
He shaved and put on Ho Sub's lotion.
He smelled really good.
We should get him his own supply.
That should not be a problem.
Hey Cho Rong,
did you pour more water into the tea pot?
Yes, should I bring it?
Yeah.
- Are you going out today, Mom?
- No.
- Then I will go buy it.
- Will you do that?
Should I buy the one Oppa uses?
I bought that for Oppa too.
I picked the one with the scent I like.
Hey, a person in his eighties using the
same shaving lotion as a person in his twenties.
Don't you think that's a little funny?
I don't know.
The one for Grandfather should have a stronger scent.
Cho Rong, go ask at the cosmetic store.
I will.
While you are there, buy one for me.
Sure, give me the money for it.
Hey you. When you were a little kid,
I went running many times
to Seoguipo to buy your milk.
What do you mean many times?
We moved here with the kids only 10 years ago,
what do you mean you went to buy milk many times?
Every time you came with the kids,
you ran out of milk and I ran to buy it.
That's because you drank
several bottles of it every day.
Is that true?
Cho Rong, buy one for me too.
Sure, please give me the money.
You little brat!
- Cho Rong, I need a bottle of water
- Okay.
- Wait, make it two bottles.
- Okay.
Dad, we are completely sold out for next week.
Do not take any more reservations.
Oh really?
Reservations over the internet
are continuously increasing.
We are getting great response
from our internet ads.
That's really good news.
- I am going to work.
- Be good.
Yes.
Ah, Sister-in-law,
can you get Cho Rong to get one for me...?
Yes, I got it.
What do you mean you got it?
Make sure to get the money from him. You pay up.
Oh come on, stop being so stingy.
Grandfather!
Ah, Father.
I heard of treating your enemies like
shit but this... Ah, ah that mean-spirited woman.
Father, Father.
What... what's wrong? What's going on?
She wants me to live on the veranda.
What?
She told me not to even think about,
don't lay a hand on the bedroom door.
Just live on the veranda.
I rather drown at sea. I am not crazy.
Do I not have a house?
Do I not have any kids?
Why should I go there and sleep on the veranda?
You, from all you have
heard from your mother-in-law,
you think I am a despicable old man.
But do you know why I could
not settle down and fooled around?
How can I be a loving husband
to a mean-spirited idiotic wife like that!
Please calm down, Father. Please calm...
You little punk,
how can you make a fool out of me like that?
Father, I did not know Mother will...
You want me to die? Do you?
If you feel I am that kind of burden on you,
I will just go die.
OK. I will just go die.
- Father. Why are you doing this?
- Let go. Let go of me.
You despicable people!
Mother, that was definitely too much.
How can you tell him to live on the veranda?
As if he has some infectious disease.
What can I do without a bedroom?
You were the one who was against
adding a bedroom to the house.
Why were you so stubborn when
I wanted to add a room to the house?
I did that because I didn't want
that old geezer to force his way in like this.
I am a prophet.
There is no question, I am a prophet.
No matter what, you were a little too harsh.
How can you humiliate Father like that?
Humiliate. Did you say humiliate?
He's making a big scene claiming
he's going to drown in the ocean.
- Who's afraid of that?
- Mother.
If he's going to drown,
tell him not to impose on us.
Tell him to take a boat,
go far away and jump into the ocean.
So that we won't be able to find him.
He has already killed
me more than dozens of times.
Humiliation.
Humiliation.
No, it's not that we don't understand you,
but if you opened up your heart
and let bygones be by bygones...
With whose permission?
How can two of us share this room?
(*Common Korean phrase conveying it's too small.)
Is this room big enough for that?
How can we with a room the size of my palm*?
It also was you, Mother,
who was against enlarging the room.
Is he even a kind person?
If your father has killed me a dozen times,
then I killed him two dozen times.
Whatever affection I might have had for him faded a long time ago.
Please stop being so vengeful.
Why are you such a vengeful person?
That's why Father looked elsewhere for comfort.
Well, I guess you did not start out this way.
It's possible you have become
so vengeful because of Father.
Get out.
Get out.
Are you deaf?
Why did you do that?
Why? Why? That was very harsh.
What should I have said?
We must.
How?
You don't know?
Mother.
I am coming in.
No need.
Mother, I understand you 100 times, 1000 times.
I know I can't know exactly since I'm not you.
But Mother,
since you have decided to forgive him, can you
take one more step toward full forgiveness?
Just one more step.
The kids' father and
uncle were really happy.
The kids' father, with tears welled
up in his eyes, said
he did not realize he would
feel this way as a son.
You just wait a second.
Is this room big enough for two people?
Even alone, I feel suffocated
and feel like breaking down that wall.
How can he think about pushing
his way in here and drive me out of my mind?
Let alone I despise him.
Mother, don't you think there will be more
room if you moved the cabinets to the veranda?
Move the cabinets out?
It's a choice between the cabinets and Father.
The cabinets are more important for me.
Do you need to go out?
Please be like Buddha.
If you become Buddha...
Well, Mother, you are a Buddhist.
It not an impossible job for a Buddhist saint.
Dad, I...
am going to school.
OK. Be good in school.
Don't be so distressed. We are all here for you.
Okay.
Dad, you aren't going to fool around.
I am leaving.
Since you are a distressed dad,
Cho Rong will be home early today.
OK.
This is how all your misdeeds
come back and bite you.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Since you ruined Mom's life, you have to accept
everything Mom does and live as if nothing happened.
No one on this earth or all the gods in
the sky knew I would become this pitiful old man.
You are wrong, Father.
Everyone on earth and the gods knew.
It was just you, Father, who did not know.
You kids don't know how much wealth I had.
I don't need to know that
and I don't want to know either.
I just want to know what you have now.
All the wealth I was holding leak through between
my fingers and now I don't have anything left.
I made a lot of money too and spent a lot too.
If you don't have anything left,
it means you spent it all, not spent a lot.
When you get old, your tears dry up too.
My heart is being ripped apart
but no tears are flowing.
But your nose is running.
Wipe your runny nose.
Since Hyungnim is there now, he will come
back with a solution. Don't be so discouraged.
I think I will go to Seoul
and live at a retirement home.
Why spend money on an airplane
ticket and go all the way to Seoul?
Just do it here.
I have fifteen children here.
The last thing I want
to do is embarrass all of them.
(Sending your parents to live at a
retirement home is considered a sin in Korea.)
Do you at least remember their names and faces?
Sometimes I do have trouble
matching names to faces.
It's time for you to stop
since you don't have any more tears.
I have a big lump in my throat
that won't go away. Let me be.
Mother, have a nice day.
Yes, Lee Seobang*.
(*term for a man that married into the family)
I have great news.
Did you get promoted?
Since I went from being a father
to one kid to being a father to two kids,
I guess it's a promotion, Mother-in-law.
What?
Ji Na's mom has changed her mind
and decided to have the baby.
Is it really true?
Yes, Mother-in-law.
Of course I had a lot to do with the decision.
Yes.
In the end she always listens to me.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, one last thing. This is a secret.
Make sure you are the only one to know.
Don't even mention it to Father-in-law.
That's what Ji Na's mom told me to do.
I have no choice.
She's saying it's the first
trimester and this and that.
But I think she's trying to preserve some pride,
since she insisted in the beginning
she rather die than have another child.
Well as you know,
everything is a matter of pride with her.
Yes.
Oh yes, I am only telling you, Mother-in-law.
So make sure no one else finds out about it
and you have to pretend you don't know either.
Okay. I will be the only one who knows
and I will pretend I don't know.
Yes. Yes.
Lee Seobang. Thanks a lot.
Of course I am happy, very happy.
OK.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I have to tell Little Hyung about this.
About how Father came back.
Just leave it alone, you fool.
He will find out when he gets home.
It's not even good news.
But I should announce...
Is this the World Cup of soccer?
I got it.
What are you doing?
He did not have breakfast.
How is Mother?
She went out.
Where?
She did not say.
- So what happened?
- So?
If the room was bigger, we could have argued...
Did I cause this? Mother always argued
that she didn't need a bigger room.
She's refusing because of the room?
That's one of two reasons.
Hyungnim, why don't we enlarge the room?
Just break down one brick
wall and enlarge the room.
Why don't you start making sense?
That's a really big construction job, Uncle.
It's better to move the cabinets
from the room to the veranda.
Then there won't be any room on the veranda.
That's better than Father
sleeping out on the veranda.
Did you settle with Mother
to move the cabinets out of the room?
She said the cabinets are more important
than Father. She doesn't want to.
Then what can we do?
I will do it.
Gosh.
Hold on a second, dear.
Uncle, can you take this up?
Huh, yes.
This way.
This, it's a secret.
Only you can know, dear.
You cannot tell anyone else
and you must pretend you don't know.
Remember, you don't know anything.
What is it?
Ji Hye's not going to the hospital.
She's planning to have the baby.
You know I am responsible for her decision.
She asked me if I wanted to see Ji Na's sibling.
I said of course, definitely. I said that to her.
Wow, I... I...
You don't know anything. I had it out with Ji Hye.
When?
We had it out and I said something that
was definitive to her making up her mind.
What did you tell her?
That's because of me, Sister-in-law.
- Oh my gosh.
- Hey you. You, you, you, you...
I insisted she's being a murderer.
Ji Hye turned completely
white while I was telling her that.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
You. Secret. It's definitely a secret.
Just keep it to yourself.
Make sure not to tell anyone. Understand.
Why does it have to be a secret?
Ji Hye told Lee Seobang not to tell anyone.
- Why?
- Why?
After insisting she was going to have an abortion,
I guess she is embarrassed that she changed her mind.
Uncle, please keep this to yourself.
Oh boy. Of all things.
Since a very self conscious girl wants it that way,
we know nothing.
If we handle this wrong, she might
change her mind again. Understand?
Yes, I don't know anything. I have no memory of it.
I was drunk at the time. Sure.
You, don't let it slip out.
You don't have to worry.
I can't believe the things you worry about.
- What are you going to do?
- You acted very suspicious.
Did I?
Oh, that... that radio station.
There's no way we can trust him.
- Good morning.
- Oh, oh welcome.
Did you get good rest?
Yes, how about you, Yeon Joo?
Are you recovered?
Yes, I did.
Let's go to the market first today.
Let's get well prepared. I lose my mind
when we are preparing in a hurry.
Yes, Teacher.
- What's up?
- I am here to see Father. Why?
What's that?
Father, Father.
What in the world? Why are you doing this?
Let me go.
Stop this!!!
Stop playing around, this is not funny.
Do you think I am playing?
Oh man. This is unreal. Wow.
Hey you. That hurts.
Please stay still.
I don't want to cut the tie. It's precious.
Oh man. I can't believe you, Father.
I am going to taste the seaweed.
What do you think of using
this for pictures? I think...
There, there's the shredded vegetables.
We should...
- Two winter suits,
- Two winter suits...
and two shirts.
Two shirts.
Watch your feet.
You are doing very well.
Just a little longer.
Yes. Almost done.
Please relax. Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Ah, he's performing
gastrointestinal endoscopy now...
Yes, it arrived on time, Mr. President.
No, she has yet to come out. Yes.
Yes, I will take care of it.
I will call you after she's at your place.
Yes. Yes.
This is Yang Byung Jun.
Hyung, aren't you curious
what is going on at home?
I am busy. I will find out
when I get home. Hang up.
Mom told Father to live on the veranda.
He had a big blowup.
Then he said he will commit suicide
and made a noose out of a necktie
and started to put it around
his neck when I discovered him.
And then?
We were barely able to calm him down.
Even though Mom is going to beat us to death,
Big Hyung and I moved all furniture
out of Mom's room and made space for Father.
Mom's not home.
Do you think we would be
alive if she was home?
Ahhhh. Just a second.
This is good news.
Ji Hye is planning to have
Ji Na's younger sibling.
But this is a big secret.
Just keep it to yourself, Hyung.
Make sure you do not let Ji Hye know you know.
If one family member finds out,
she will change her mind and not have the baby.
Stop gossiping and hang up the phone.
Time is too precious for that.
What a lousy character.
Wait a second.
Oh yeah, Tae Sub.
Yes, Uncle.
Why did you call?
Really?
She's going to have the baby?
Is that true, Uncle?
Soo Ja noona,
my sister is going to have a baby.
Was she pregnant?
Oh? Ah, I see.
Yes.
Was her stomach out?
Hello?
Really, Uncle?
One second, Uncle.
Here. Here.
It's been a while.
How's your health?
Yes, I am doing good.
And you, Unni?
Good.
Excuse me.
Are you Chief Officer Jo?
Yes, I am.
Welcome. I am Yang Byung Jun.
I am here on behalf of the company.
OK. Please take care of it.
Take your time.
I have to call for the car.
I understand.
Wow, it's been a long time.
Yes, it has.
Oh yes, we are on our way.
You have gotten prettier.
Your glow is hurting my eyes.
- You liar.
- I am not lying.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Later, I will tell you later.
We have a lot of time.
Is it a married man?
No way. It's a crush.
A crush?
Get going.
All right then.
See you later.
Seven pm, Unni.
See you at 7pm.
My bags?
I sent it in another car.
Oh.
Wait a minute.
I don't like my view blocked.
I'm sorry, but take this off.
And sit in the back seat.
Of course.
Driver Cha.
We will go to the golf resort first.
You already know, but while the Chairman was here,
it was the villa he started on.
Is this your first time to Jeju Island?
Is this your first visit?
It's been four years
since I've been in Jeju Island.
Oh, I see.
What's on your agenda for today?
Absolutely nothing.
Then...
Tomorrow?
Absolutely nothing.
The day after tomorrow...
absolutely nothing.
I'm going to rest.
Ah... yes.
After that, I don't know.
I'll decide the day after tomorrow.
Ah... yes.
No. Just leave it.
What will I do about dinner?
There is the golf resort restaurant.
Walking, it only takes 3 minutes.
We haven't hired a cook for you yet.
We will find someone in the next few days.
For the next few days,
please dine at the golf resort restaurant.
Or if there's anything else you'd like,
there's a staff who can prepare your meals.
This is Ms. Geum.
She will take care of your needs and
make sure everything is to your satisfaction.
If there is anything you need, Ms. Geum here will...
Please take good care of me.
We'll talk later.
Yes.
I heard that your car will be arriving from Japan.
So you'll need a driver.
You don't need to be concerned about that.
Is there a company driver?
Yes.
When I need one, I'll ask for one.
Of course.
Now what?
How do you like the interior design?
This was the house my father used,
so I'll just use it as is.
I like it.
Of course.
If there's anything you need, or need a driver,
please let Ms. Geum know.
After Ms. Geum gets off work,
here.
Call me on my cell phone.
I'll come right over.
Oh, one moment please.
Where did I put it?
- Please open this for me.
- Yes.
No, I'll do it.
You have to put it like this to open.
Please take out the red bag.
This is your present.
I'm sure I'll be a nuisance to you quite a bit.
- This is for your wife.
- I... I am single.
Single?
Yes.
Are you a widower?
I never married.
Why?
There isn't anyone to receive your gift.
Thank you for the thought.
Then, just give it to someone else.
Of course.
Thank you.
Even if Mother says things to you,
just don't say anything back and stay still.
You just need to stay still.
Just keep your mouth shut and stay still, Father.
Are you making me look like a fool again?
I told you, no.
Trust me.
I don't trust you.
Fa...father.
When Min Jae took a basket of food over earlier,
for your dinner,
Mother didn't say anything.
How do you know what she's thinking?
She's given in.
Otherwise, is she a type of woman to do nothing
after seeing the cabinets in the living room?
She's admitted defeat.
Let's go.
Let's go, Father.
Mother?
Father is here.
If he's here, what do you
want me to do about it?
Father is here.
What?
Should I go out to greet him?
See?
She doesn't come out to greet you,
but she wants you to come in.
Leave it.
Come in.
I'm sorry I'll be an inconvenience.
I guess I'll deal with it.
Take off your hat.
Your coat also.
That's good.
This is the last one.
Yes, ma'am.
I think that's it.
Do a good job, OK?
I guess you have nothing else to say.
He's doing a good job.
Good job.
Good job, Yeon Joo.
- Can we take this over there now?
- Yeah.
Wait, Ho Sub.
I cooked only three squid,
so you're going to play rock, paper, scissors?
- Give it here.
- Yes.
- Yeon Joo?
- Yes.
You must be hungry.
How about dinner first?
Yes, ma'am.
Even people watching will watch after eating.
Go ahead, Tae Sub.
Let's have dinner.
I wish I could wash up.
Don't make it complicated and just hold on.
Okay.
Just wash your hands.
OK.
Cho Rong! The rice and soup!
It's right here.
- Oppa, get me the soup pot.
- Yeah.
When are we eating?
It's all finished. Sit down.
I've heard of chili pepper torture, water torture,
electric shock torture, sleep deprivation torture.
I never heard of a "starving
person having to smell the food" torture.
I'm sorry.
Wait!
You have to wait for Dad.
Dad hasn't eaten dinner yet either.
Come here and listen to
the grumbling in my stomach.
Listen, listen.
Hello?
- Dad, it's Cho Rong.
- Yeah. What?
Come and have dinner.
I'm here for dinner.
Where are you?
She's right here!
Uncle!
Uncle, that's for serving a lot of people.
Give it here!
Why does the rice punch have barley seeds?
It's barley rice punch.
I see.
This isn't enough.
I don't think you have enough.
What about Ji Na's family?
- Cho Rong, call Unni.
- OK.
Don't use your phone to get her, use your body.
Mom, it doesn't cost anything.
You're becoming more like Grandmother.
Unni, hurry up and come down.
Use this.
Thank you.
I have finished eating.
Go clear the table.
Are you deaf?
Yes.
I am deaf.
What? You just heard everything.
If you don't like my response,
then don't talk to me.
The more I think about it,
the more appalled I am.
It's not like I'm senile,
At my age, what is this?
My father and mother resting
would turn over in their graves.
If you don't like the response,
then don't talk to me.
If you don't like the road,
don't start walking.
You left me, now you come back and what now?
This is a crap bowl.
I haven't nagged him all
these years so I can't start.
I can't say I'm better than him now.
What will the kids say?
What will the kids say?
Don't make excuses!
Someone who's not even afraid of a tiger,
why are you afraid of your kids?
Put your hands over your heart,
and think about it earnestly.
What do you want me to think about earnestly?
What?
You should know.
What are you talking about?
Do I have to spell it out for you?
What are you saying, you old man?
Just shut up and act like you're dying.
Then they don't say anything.
I'll be dying now.
Is that what you call dying?
How's your nausea?
There's a variety of food smells,
is your nausea okay?
It's enough to endure.
When are you going to the hospital?
Uncle!
It's her decision.
Every day you lose precious time.
Uncle, there are other people here.
How long have you been
friends with Tae Sub oppa?
You don't seem like a high school friend.
College?
How long have you known each other?
We met after the military service,
so it hasn't been that long.
He never brings home any friends.
He did until about junior high.
That friend, Woo Chul,
who used to walk to school with you every day.
What is he doing these days?
He immigrated a long time ago.
There was that kid also, the Rho Eun's son.
He was a bit short.
His eyes were really small.
Yes.
Do you know what happened to him?
He started his own business many times,
but it's all been a failure.
Too bad.
I heard you're a lecturer.
I'm just a traveling salesman.
So, photography is a side job?
- You could call it that.
- When did you start taking pictures?
You sure are curious about a lot of things.
Stop it. Let him eat.
When are you going to the hospital?
Ah, Uncle...
That's a matter between the two of us.
Don't be concerned about it.
Hey, saying don't be concerned
is not something a child says to an adult.
It could be interpreted as,
"mind your own business".
How could I say that?
I don't mean that at all.
So even if you were talking
with your mother-in-law,
would you say, "Mother-in-law,
mind your own business"?
I'm sorry, Uncle. I was wrong.
I used the wrong words.
If you made up your mind,
then hurry up and proceed.
What's there to procrastinate about?
- Hey!
- Uncle!
Uncle, change the subject.
What are you talking about, Uncle?
Noona will get indigestion.
What did I do?
What did I do?
I have no desire for rice cakes.
But why did I grab the rice cake?
- So you were a top comedian?
- Yes.
- Then you must have a popular act.
- Yes.
You probably know this popular act.
Why are you sitting in my seat?
Move.
I can't see the TV from my side.
I'm here.
Come in.
Yes, what's the matter?
My younger sister was supposed to be here, but
she'll be late because of a previous engagement.
I need someone to have dinner with.
This way.
This way.
I'll eat dinner at home.
I said I need someone to eat dinner.
Yes, please eat.
Once you're finished, I'll leave.
I hate eating by myself.
But, on my first night,
I have to do something I hate.
I really hate eating by myself.
Come eat with me.
Sit down.
Yes.
Here, I'll take it.
You're not drinking?
No.
I'm driving.
Then.
The food has cooled down a bit.
- Would you like it reheated?
- I'll eat it as it is.
Ah, yes.
Mmm, it hasn't completely cooled down.
Yes.
Go ahead and eat.
Yes.
You told me the staff here can do anything,
so I wanted to test if that was true.
The golf course restaurant's food is quite good.
The meat is not the best quality.
That may be the case.
Why haven't you married yet?
Didn't you say you haven't married yet?
I haven't.
Why?
That's a private matter.
That's true.
It is your private matter.
However, I'm trying to
make small talk during dinner.
About the matters at work...
I don't want to hear about that yet.
Why haven't you?
I feel very awkward talking about my private life.
Don't feel awkward.
Feel comfortable.
This isn't an interview
with my future mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law?
I'm a mother-in-law?
It's something I need to
answer to a future mother-in-law.
Then, think of me as your
future mother-in-law and answer me.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry. You don't look like
a mother-in-law to me so I cannot answer.
Was there a woman you liked?
Yes. I'm not a mixture of a socially
challenged, crazy person.
A mixture?
Elementary school student.
Does my laugh sound strange?
- It is strange.
- I know.
Pardon me, but
why does your laugh sound like that?
The part of my brain where laughter is
regulated is not working properly.
Are your parents still alive?
Yes, they are.
Brothers or sisters?
Wait a minute.
You are too young
to become my mother-in-law.
Also, for me to become
your son-in-law, I am too old.
How old are you?
Oh, hold on.
Yes. Father!
Go see how Father is doing.
After I see this.
Let's get married.
I need a doctor to apply medicine on me.
At night, it gets so itchy,
it drives me crazy.
It's not easy to cure.
If it's dry, it gets worse.
Let's get married.
Because you need someone
to put on some medicine?
That's what I need the most now.
All right, let's do it.
- When?
- Hold still.
Do you know?
When it's so itchy,
that Fantastic Four character,
the one where the arm stretches out.
I wish my arm could do that also.
What about here?
Yeah, put some there.
Who is it?
Cho Rong!
His allergy is severe.
I was putting on some medicine.
I'm finished. What is it?
Herb tea.
- Yours?
- Yeah. I can't stay?
It's not that.
Drink your tea.
Yeah, OK.
What kind of allergy?
I'm still trying to figure out.
You two seem really close.
You're even applying medicine on him.
Yeah, we're really close.
Are you married? Or are you like my brother?
I'm divorced.
She's just a little kid,
speak comfortably.
I'm not a little kid.
Also, just because I'm your little sister,
doesn't mean I'm your friend's little sister.
No manners.
No manners?
Yes, I'm a lady.
Though I haven't been for very long.
Are you a lady?
I'm not?
A goofy lady?
Is there someone you like?
Have you found one?
I do.
I have found someone.
What about you, Oppa?
He's divorced and he's
found another woman he likes.
You really have no skills.
There was a mountain of dishes.
What are you doing here instead
of helping out Mother? Go and help her.
Here.
Yes.
Just go and leave it here.
I'll take care of it.
Just leave it to us and go, Mom.
You worked hard making
all that food for the pictures.
Go, forget about it and rest up.
Wash up and get a massage from Dad, OK?
- There's too many things to take care of.
- Don't worry about it, Teacher.
Really Mom! Go, Mom. Go.
Even if you're not here,
we'll finish the job as if you were.
Hurry, go, go.
All right.
Today, I'm really exhausted.
It's no joke.
I wasn't like this a year ago.
Last year, you were exactly the same.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Then, I'll request a favor, Yeon Joo.
- Yes, Teacher.
Mom, the BBQ we canceled today
is day after tomorrow.
You can't use this place
the day after tomorrow.
I know, I won't create a conflict here.
I'll do it. Just clear the table.
When did you start working in the kitchen?
Let's see.
Since I was wobbling around.
What?
That's an exaggeration.
But ever since I could walk without falling,
my plate, spoon and chopsticks,
my mom trained me to take them to the sink.
Three? Four years old?
Why?
Because I'm so good at it, right?
Not to that extent. But experienced.
Of course I'm experienced.
I even make rice really well.
I can make some soup.
I can grill a fish really well.
My ramen, it's killer.
Fried foods.
Stews.
Stews are my specialty.
Soybean stew, kimchi stew, tofu stew.
You have no idea how popular my cooking is.
You have no fear in kitchen work.
It's my livelihood,
so what can I do?
I can't ask my father, nor my uncles.
My mom is busy with her own work.
Anyway, I said I'll serve the
resort and diving customers the best,
so before I knew it, I became this way.
Some days I do a mountain of dishes
then when I finally sit down to rest,
my hands smell like dish soap.
It smells like dishpans.
You're pretty good as well.
Kitchen work.
Cooking.
It's my job.
I'm still learning.
I don't think I have a particular gift.
Cooking is a gift also.
I can copy other people's designs,
but I can't copy their taste.
Your palate has to be special,
plus you need to have a natural touch.
And my mom has that?
What is that?
You said you liked it, so I made you a copy.
Ah, that blessing from last time.
I have it almost memorized.
Celebrate all the honest creations.
And from that blessed field,
gather your harvest.
Walk with a smile on your face.
Collect the simple happiness.
May you always be endowed
with happy blessings.
Even if you are blind, for your
loved ones, chop that wood.
Ride your bicycle as fast
as you can to the corner store.
Sit on a tree trunk.
And share that drink of soju
with your lifelong friends.
Laugh saying that's what life is all about.
Bless the souls that live that very life.
Excuse me.
You memorized the whole thing?
You just need to memorize one line at a time.
With your hands,
make some food for your younger siblings.
While doing the laundry,
change the coal briskets.
While holding back tears,
comfort your younger siblings.
A young woman dreaming of becoming a nurse.
Be blessed.
My nose is starting to tickle.
Is this correct?
Just wait a little bit more.
I'm heating up the water.
Father, Kyung Soo is leaving.
Oh, OK. All right.
Tae Sub, I'm not getting up.
Make sure he leaves okay.
OK.
Good work, Kyung Soo.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Goodbye.
- Okay. Have a safe trip home.
I'll walk him to the driveway.
Hyungnim! Hyungnim!
Something has happened!
Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!
My mom has run away from home.
What?
Mother is gone. He said she has
been out for a while and hasn't returned.
Where has she gone at night?
I don't know. An old woman who has
disappeared this late at night without a word.
That's running away.
Oh, Mom...
Goodbye!
Come again!
Grandmother, that's enough.
That's enough.
You drank a whole bottle.
Turn that off.
What did that do?
Turn it off!
I did.
Get up, Grandmother.
Grandmother.
Grandmother.
What were you doing?
You should have stayed
next to her the entire time!
This is for you, Sister-in-law.
You're making me the bad guy again.
It's not like she was here by herself. Father was
here, so I tried to stay away for the ambiance.
What ambiance? They're so cold to each other.
What, you want Father and Mom
to freeze to death? Aren't you a little harsh?
Stop arguing with each other,
go and find her!
Father, at this time of the night,
we're trying to think where she could be.
Go check the ocean.
She probably fell in and died.
What?
Was there something that happened?
Father, what did you do to Mom?
Just go out and find her!
She's not at home so she's somewhere outside.
What's upsetting you so much, Grandmother?
What?
What else could there be except Grandfather?
Is it because of Grandfather?
There's nothing.
Grandmother.
I told you there's nothing.
Father, don't worry.
Mother is coming right now.
- She's coming?
- Yes, she's coming.
Oh, Mother, you scared everyone.
You went out drinking?
She drank some alcohol.
Yeah. Thanks.
Mom, Mom, Mom...
Mom, have you been drinking?
Mom smells like alcohol.
- Mother!
- Mom!

Wh... wha... what? Is it really true?
Sure.
- Mom, is it really true?
- Yes.
Did something happen?
Grandmother stopped by earlier
and said for him to move in with her.
Did she change her mind because
she is planning to die? Why all of a sudden?
Do you know why, Sister-in-law?
I think she was bothered
having Father here because of me.
Hyungnim, that's a little
weak of a reason for the change.
She is a little concerned about burdening
your sister-in-law with the ancestral rites.
That's still a weak reason.
She's worried that I
will become ill due to stress.
It's still a very weak reason.
How did Grandmother deal with him
being here? I definitely did not like it.
- Me too.
- Does Father know?
Of course. I told him as soon as I found out.
What did he say?
He was shocked and almost
dropped the tea cup he was holding.
He should definitely be shocked
because I am dumbfounded myself.
I'm sure he felt like he was completely
blind-sided by the news. Blind-sided.
I was blind-sided too.
But I never imagined that
Mother and Father will get back together.
Sister-in-law, did you see the possibility?
Did you, Hyungnim?
- No.
- No way.
Mom never fails to amaze me.
I am feeling dizzy.
I am having trouble concentrating.
I guess I will have to surprise Mr. Know-it-all
Little Hyung with the news.
He found out before he left for work this morning.
What did he say?
Of course, he's utterly against it.
He feels Mother
has dual personality.
Dual personality. Yeah.
That's not it. No. No, treacherous.
Our mom is definitely treacherous.
I have completely given up.
Wow. Mom's concealment ability is truly amazing.
She's just getting caught now.
It's definitely true that a woman is like locked chest.
You can never tell what's inside that chest.
I think you have gone a little too far.
Of course Sister-in-law is exempt.
I cannot exclude you since you are a monster.
That's okay.
I like being a monster, Uncle.
I really enjoyed the meal.
Thank you. I will get going first.
- Don't forget Father's back patch.
- I know.
Oh man, now I have no place to sleep
when I want to escape from Little Hyung.
You have the room Grandfather stayed in.
I like being next to Mom.
I get to touch her breast once in a while.
- What?
- What?
Did you finish eating?
Are you in the bathroom?
Yeah.
You did not eat.
I am washing up.
You should have eaten before washing.
I am almost done.
I told you I am done.
I am done.
Dear.
Yes.
Father is going to Mom's place.
Are you going to Mother's place?
Congratulations.
OK. OK. OK.
Have a nice trip, Grandfather.
- Hey, what are you saying?
- Then what am I suppose to say?
- What am I suppose to say in situation like this?
- Not now.
Let him go alone. Mother will be ashamed.
Oh yeah.
Huh, what?
Since Mom will be ashamed,
she suggested letting him go alone.
Oh yes.
You are not planning to bring that into the house?
You will be sleeping here.
What did you say?
You will be sleeping here.
Wh-what? Here at the veranda?
Yes.
You expect me to live here in the veranda?
Did you expect me to invite you to my room?
How do you expect me to live here?
There is no reason you can't.
Huh, I can't believe this.
I am speechless.
Am I a beggar?
What do you expect me to do
since there is only one room?
Sleep here! Do you want me to
get blown away by the typhoon?
Do you want me to freeze to death in the winter?
We have a nice electric floor heating mat.
Byung Tae's mother.
Byung Tae's mother!
I am not on my last breath.
Stop calling me and say what you need to say.
I just can't do that.
I know I don't deserve any respect the way I lived,
but forget me living here where
I will be flying solo during a typhoon.
No way!
If you don't like it, go back to that Sehwa wench*.
(*His sixth wife)
We need to buy Father a
shaver and after shave lotion.
- Does Father have facial hair?
- Maybe.
He shaved today.
He shaved and put on Ho Sub's lotion.
He smelled really good.
We should get him his own supply.
That should not be a problem.
Hey Cho Rong,
did you pour more water into the tea pot?
Yes, should I bring it?
Yeah.
- Are you going out today, Mom?
- No.
- Then I will go buy it.
- Will you do that?
Should I buy the one Oppa uses?
I bought that for Oppa too.
I picked the one with the scent I like.
Hey, a person in his eighties using the
same shaving lotion as a person in his twenties.
Don't you think that's a little funny?
I don't know.
The one for Grandfather should have a stronger scent.
Cho Rong, go ask at the cosmetic store.
I will.
While you are there, buy one for me.
Sure, give me the money for it.
Hey you. When you were a little kid,
I went running many times
to Seoguipo to buy your milk.
What do you mean many times?
We moved here with the kids only 10 years ago,
what do you mean you went to buy milk many times?
Every time you came with the kids,
you ran out of milk and I ran to buy it.
That's because you drank
several bottles of it every day.
Is that true?
Cho Rong, buy one for me too.
Sure, please give me the money.
You little brat!
- Cho Rong, I need a bottle of water
- Okay.
- Wait, make it two bottles.
- Okay.
Dad, we are completely sold out for next week.
Do not take any more reservations.
Oh really?
Reservations over the internet
are continuously increasing.
We are getting great response
from our internet ads.
That's really good news.
- I am going to work.
- Be good.
Yes.
Ah, Sister-in-law,
can you get Cho Rong to get one for me...?
Yes, I got it.
What do you mean you got it?
Make sure to get the money from him. You pay up.
Oh come on, stop being so stingy.
Grandfather!
Ah, Father.
I heard of treating your enemies like
shit but this... Ah, ah that mean-spirited woman.
Father, Father.
What... what's wrong? What's going on?
She wants me to live on the veranda.
What?
She told me not to even think about,
don't lay a hand on the bedroom door.
Just live on the veranda.
I rather drown at sea. I am not crazy.
Do I not have a house?
Do I not have any kids?
Why should I go there and sleep on the veranda?
You, from all you have
heard from your mother-in-law,
you think I am a despicable old man.
But do you know why I could
not settle down and fooled around?
How can I be a loving husband
to a mean-spirited idiotic wife like that!
Please calm down, Father. Please calm...
You little punk,
how can you make a fool out of me like that?
Father, I did not know Mother will...
You want me to die? Do you?
If you feel I am that kind of burden on you,
I will just go die.
OK. I will just go die.
- Father. Why are you doing this?
- Let go. Let go of me.
You despicable people!
Mother, that was definitely too much.
How can you tell him to live on the veranda?
As if he has some infectious disease.
What can I do without a bedroom?
You were the one who was against
adding a bedroom to the house.
Why were you so stubborn when
I wanted to add a room to the house?
I did that because I didn't want
that old geezer to force his way in like this.
I am a prophet.
There is no question, I am a prophet.
No matter what, you were a little too harsh.
How can you humiliate Father like that?
Humiliate. Did you say humiliate?
He's making a big scene claiming
he's going to drown in the ocean.
- Who's afraid of that?
- Mother.
If he's going to drown,
tell him not to impose on us.
Tell him to take a boat,
go far away and jump into the ocean.
So that we won't be able to find him.
He has already killed
me more than dozens of times.
Humiliation.
Humiliation.
No, it's not that we don't understand you,
but if you opened up your heart
and let bygones be by bygones...
With whose permission?
How can two of us share this room?
(*Common Korean phrase conveying it's too small.)
Is this room big enough for that?
How can we with a room the size of my palm*?
It also was you, Mother,
who was against enlarging the room.
Is he even a kind person?
If your father has killed me a dozen times,
then I killed him two dozen times.
Whatever affection I might have had for him faded a long time ago.
Please stop being so vengeful.
Why are you such a vengeful person?
That's why Father looked elsewhere for comfort.
Well, I guess you did not start out this way.
It's possible you have become
so vengeful because of Father.
Get out.
Get out.
Are you deaf?
Why did you do that?
Why? Why? That was very harsh.
What should I have said?
We must.
How?
You don't know?
Mother.
I am coming in.
No need.
Mother, I understand you 100 times, 1000 times.
I know I can't know exactly since I'm not you.
But Mother,
since you have decided to forgive him, can you
take one more step toward full forgiveness?
Just one more step.
The kids' father and
uncle were really happy.
The kids' father, with tears welled
up in his eyes, said
he did not realize he would
feel this way as a son.
You just wait a second.
Is this room big enough for two people?
Even alone, I feel suffocated
and feel like breaking down that wall.
How can he think about pushing
his way in here and drive me out of my mind?
Let alone I despise him.
Mother, don't you think there will be more
room if you moved the cabinets to the veranda?
Move the cabinets out?
It's a choice between the cabinets and Father.
The cabinets are more important for me.
Do you need to go out?
Please be like Buddha.
If you become Buddha...
Well, Mother, you are a Buddhist.
It not an impossible job for a Buddhist saint.
Dad, I...
am going to school.
OK. Be good in school.
Don't be so distressed. We are all here for you.
Okay.
Dad, you aren't going to fool around.
I am leaving.
Since you are a distressed dad,
Cho Rong will be home early today.
OK.
This is how all your misdeeds
come back and bite you.
There's nothing you can do about it.
Since you ruined Mom's life, you have to accept
everything Mom does and live as if nothing happened.
No one on this earth or all the gods in
the sky knew I would become this pitiful old man.
You are wrong, Father.
Everyone on earth and the gods knew.
It was just you, Father, who did not know.
You kids don't know how much wealth I had.
I don't need to know that
and I don't want to know either.
I just want to know what you have now.
All the wealth I was holding leak through between
my fingers and now I don't have anything left.
I made a lot of money too and spent a lot too.
If you don't have anything left,
it means you spent it all, not spent a lot.
When you get old, your tears dry up too.
My heart is being ripped apart
but no tears are flowing.
But your nose is running.
Wipe your runny nose.
Since Hyungnim is there now, he will come
back with a solution. Don't be so discouraged.
I think I will go to Seoul
and live at a retirement home.
Why spend money on an airplane
ticket and go all the way to Seoul?
Just do it here.
I have fifteen children here.
The last thing I want
to do is embarrass all of them.
(Sending your parents to live at a
retirement home is considered a sin in Korea.)
Do you at least remember their names and faces?
Sometimes I do have trouble
matching names to faces.
It's time for you to stop
since you don't have any more tears.
I have a big lump in my throat
that won't go away. Let me be.
Mother, have a nice day.
Yes, Lee Seobang*.
(*term for a man that married into the family)
I have great news.
Did you get promoted?
Since I went from being a father
to one kid to being a father to two kids,
I guess it's a promotion, Mother-in-law.
What?
Ji Na's mom has changed her mind
and decided to have the baby.
Is it really true?
Yes, Mother-in-law.
Of course I had a lot to do with the decision.
Yes.
In the end she always listens to me.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, one last thing. This is a secret.
Make sure you are the only one to know.
Don't even mention it to Father-in-law.
That's what Ji Na's mom told me to do.
I have no choice.
She's saying it's the first
trimester and this and that.
But I think she's trying to preserve some pride,
since she insisted in the beginning
she rather die than have another child.
Well as you know,
everything is a matter of pride with her.
Yes.
Oh yes, I am only telling you, Mother-in-law.
So make sure no one else finds out about it
and you have to pretend you don't know either.
Okay. I will be the only one who knows
and I will pretend I don't know.
Yes. Yes.
Lee Seobang. Thanks a lot.
Of course I am happy, very happy.
OK.
Oh, I almost forgot.
I have to tell Little Hyung about this.
About how Father came back.
Just leave it alone, you fool.
He will find out when he gets home.
It's not even good news.
But I should announce...
Is this the World Cup of soccer?
I got it.
What are you doing?
He did not have breakfast.
How is Mother?
She went out.
Where?
She did not say.
- So what happened?
- So?
If the room was bigger, we could have argued...
Did I cause this? Mother always argued
that she didn't need a bigger room.
She's refusing because of the room?
That's one of two reasons.
Hyungnim, why don't we enlarge the room?
Just break down one brick
wall and enlarge the room.
Why don't you start making sense?
That's a really big construction job, Uncle.
It's better to move the cabinets
from the room to the veranda.
Then there won't be any room on the veranda.
That's better than Father
sleeping out on the veranda.
Did you settle with Mother
to move the cabinets out of the room?
She said the cabinets are more important
than Father. She doesn't want to.
Then what can we do?
I will do it.
Gosh.
Hold on a second, dear.
Uncle, can you take this up?
Huh, yes.
This way.
This, it's a secret.
Only you can know, dear.
You cannot tell anyone else
and you must pretend you don't know.
Remember, you don't know anything.
What is it?
Ji Hye's not going to the hospital.
She's planning to have the baby.
You know I am responsible for her decision.
She asked me if I wanted to see Ji Na's sibling.
I said of course, definitely. I said that to her.
Wow, I... I...
You don't know anything. I had it out with Ji Hye.
When?
We had it out and I said something that
was definitive to her making up her mind.
What did you tell her?
That's because of me, Sister-in-law.
- Oh my gosh.
- Hey you. You, you, you, you...
I insisted she's being a murderer.
Ji Hye turned completely
white while I was telling her that.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
You. Secret. It's definitely a secret.
Just keep it to yourself.
Make sure not to tell anyone. Understand.
Why does it have to be a secret?
Ji Hye told Lee Seobang not to tell anyone.
- Why?
- Why?
After insisting she was going to have an abortion,
I guess she is embarrassed that she changed her mind.
Uncle, please keep this to yourself.
Oh boy. Of all things.
Since a very self conscious girl wants it that way,
we know nothing.
If we handle this wrong, she might
change her mind again. Understand?
Yes, I don't know anything. I have no memory of it.
I was drunk at the time. Sure.
You, don't let it slip out.
You don't have to worry.
I can't believe the things you worry about.
- What are you going to do?
- You acted very suspicious.
Did I?
Oh, that... that radio station.
There's no way we can trust him.
- Good morning.
- Oh, oh welcome.
Did you get good rest?
Yes, how about you, Yeon Joo?
Are you recovered?
Yes, I did.
Let's go to the market first today.
Let's get well prepared. I lose my mind
when we are preparing in a hurry.
Yes, Teacher.
- What's up?
- I am here to see Father. Why?
What's that?
Father, Father.
What in the world? Why are you doing this?
Let me go.
Stop this!!!
Stop playing around, this is not funny.
Do you think I am playing?
Oh man. This is unreal. Wow.
Hey you. That hurts.
Please stay still.
I don't want to cut the tie. It's precious.
Oh man. I can't believe you, Father.
I am going to taste the seaweed.
What do you think of using
this for pictures? I think...
There, there's the shredded vegetables.
We should...
- Two winter suits,
- Two winter suits...
and two shirts.
Two shirts.
Watch your feet.
You are doing very well.
Just a little longer.
Yes. Almost done.
Please relax. Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Ah, he's performing
gastrointestinal endoscopy now...
Yes, it arrived on time, Mr. President.
No, she has yet to come out. Yes.
Yes, I will take care of it.
I will call you after she's at your place.
Yes. Yes.
This is Yang Byung Jun.
Hyung, aren't you curious
what is going on at home?
I am busy. I will find out
when I get home. Hang up.
Mom told Father to live on the veranda.
He had a big blowup.
Then he said he will commit suicide
and made a noose out of a necktie
and started to put it around
his neck when I discovered him.
And then?
We were barely able to calm him down.
Even though Mom is going to beat us to death,
Big Hyung and I moved all furniture
out of Mom's room and made space for Father.
Mom's not home.
Do you think we would be
alive if she was home?
Ahhhh. Just a second.
This is good news.
Ji Hye is planning to have
Ji Na's younger sibling.
But this is a big secret.
Just keep it to yourself, Hyung.
Make sure you do not let Ji Hye know you know.
If one family member finds out,
she will change her mind and not have the baby.
Stop gossiping and hang up the phone.
Time is too precious for that.
What a lousy character.
Wait a second.
Oh yeah, Tae Sub.
Yes, Uncle.
Why did you call?
Really?
She's going to have the baby?
Is that true, Uncle?
Soo Ja noona,
my sister is going to have a baby.
Was she pregnant?
Oh? Ah, I see.
Yes.
Was her stomach out?
Hello?
Really, Uncle?
One second, Uncle.
Here. Here.
It's been a while.
How's your health?
Yes, I am doing good.
And you, Unni?
Good.
Excuse me.
Are you Chief Officer Jo?
Yes, I am.
Welcome. I am Yang Byung Jun.
I am here on behalf of the company.
OK. Please take care of it.
Take your time.
I have to call for the car.
I understand.
Wow, it's been a long time.
Yes, it has.
Oh yes, we are on our way.
You have gotten prettier.
Your glow is hurting my eyes.
- You liar.
- I am not lying.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Later, I will tell you later.
We have a lot of time.
Is it a married man?
No way. It's a crush.
A crush?
Get going.
All right then.
See you later.
Seven pm, Unni.
See you at 7pm.
My bags?
I sent it in another car.
Oh.
Wait a minute.
I don't like my view blocked.
I'm sorry, but take this off.
And sit in the back seat.
Of course.
Driver Cha.
We will go to the golf resort first.
You already know, but while the Chairman was here,
it was the villa he started on.
Is this your first time to Jeju Island?
Is this your first visit?
It's been four years
since I've been in Jeju Island.
Oh, I see.
What's on your agenda for today?
Absolutely nothing.
Then...
Tomorrow?
Absolutely nothing.
The day after tomorrow...
absolutely nothing.
I'm going to rest.
Ah... yes.
After that, I don't know.
I'll decide the day after tomorrow.
Ah... yes.
No. Just leave it.
What will I do about dinner?
There is the golf resort restaurant.
Walking, it only takes 3 minutes.
We haven't hired a cook for you yet.
We will find someone in the next few days.
For the next few days,
please dine at the golf resort restaurant.
Or if there's anything else you'd like,
there's a staff who can prepare your meals.
This is Ms. Geum.
She will take care of your needs and
make sure everything is to your satisfaction.
If there is anything you need, Ms. Geum here will...
Please take good care of me.
We'll talk later.
Yes.
I heard that your car will be arriving from Japan.
So you'll need a driver.
You don't need to be concerned about that.
Is there a company driver?
Yes.
When I need one, I'll ask for one.
Of course.
Now what?
How do you like the interior design?
This was the house my father used,
so I'll just use it as is.
I like it.
Of course.
If there's anything you need, or need a driver,
please let Ms. Geum know.
After Ms. Geum gets off work,
here.
Call me on my cell phone.
I'll come right over.
Oh, one moment please.
Where did I put it?
- Please open this for me.
- Yes.
No, I'll do it.
You have to put it like this to open.
Please take out the red bag.
This is your present.
I'm sure I'll be a nuisance to you quite a bit.
- This is for your wife.
- I... I am single.
Single?
Yes.
Are you a widower?
I never married.
Why?
There isn't anyone to receive your gift.
Thank you for the thought.
Then, just give it to someone else.
Of course.
Thank you.
Even if Mother says things to you,
just don't say anything back and stay still.
You just need to stay still.
Just keep your mouth shut and stay still, Father.
Are you making me look like a fool again?
I told you, no.
Trust me.
I don't trust you.
Fa...father.
When Min Jae took a basket of food over earlier,
for your dinner,
Mother didn't say anything.
How do you know what she's thinking?
She's given in.
Otherwise, is she a type of woman to do nothing
after seeing the cabinets in the living room?
She's admitted defeat.
Let's go.
Let's go, Father.
Mother?
Father is here.
If he's here, what do you
want me to do about it?
Father is here.
What?
Should I go out to greet him?
See?
She doesn't come out to greet you,
but she wants you to come in.
Leave it.
Come in.
I'm sorry I'll be an inconvenience.
I guess I'll deal with it.
Take off your hat.
Your coat also.
That's good.
This is the last one.
Yes, ma'am.
I think that's it.
Do a good job, OK?
I guess you have nothing else to say.
He's doing a good job.
Good job.
Good job, Yeon Joo.
- Can we take this over there now?
- Yeah.
Wait, Ho Sub.
I cooked only three squid,
so you're going to play rock, paper, scissors?
- Give it here.
- Yes.
- Yeon Joo?
- Yes.
You must be hungry.
How about dinner first?
Yes, ma'am.
Even people watching will watch after eating.
Go ahead, Tae Sub.
Let's have dinner.
I wish I could wash up.
Don't make it complicated and just hold on.
Okay.
Just wash your hands.
OK.
Cho Rong! The rice and soup!
It's right here.
- Oppa, get me the soup pot.
- Yeah.
When are we eating?
It's all finished. Sit down.
I've heard of chili pepper torture, water torture,
electric shock torture, sleep deprivation torture.
I never heard of a "starving
person having to smell the food" torture.
I'm sorry.
Wait!
You have to wait for Dad.
Dad hasn't eaten dinner yet either.
Come here and listen to
the grumbling in my stomach.
Listen, listen.
Hello?
- Dad, it's Cho Rong.
- Yeah. What?
Come and have dinner.
I'm here for dinner.
Where are you?
She's right here!
Uncle!
Uncle, that's for serving a lot of people.
Give it here!
Why does the rice punch have barley seeds?
It's barley rice punch.
I see.
This isn't enough.
I don't think you have enough.
What about Ji Na's family?
- Cho Rong, call Unni.
- OK.
Don't use your phone to get her, use your body.
Mom, it doesn't cost anything.
You're becoming more like Grandmother.
Unni, hurry up and come down.
Use this.
Thank you.
I have finished eating.
Go clear the table.
Are you deaf?
Yes.
I am deaf.
What? You just heard everything.
If you don't like my response,
then don't talk to me.
The more I think about it,
the more appalled I am.
It's not like I'm senile,
At my age, what is this?
My father and mother resting
would turn over in their graves.
If you don't like the response,
then don't talk to me.
If you don't like the road,
don't start walking.
You left me, now you come back and what now?
This is a crap bowl.
I haven't nagged him all
these years so I can't start.
I can't say I'm better than him now.
What will the kids say?
What will the kids say?
Don't make excuses!
Someone who's not even afraid of a tiger,
why are you afraid of your kids?
Put your hands over your heart,
and think about it earnestly.
What do you want me to think about earnestly?
What?
You should know.
What are you talking about?
Do I have to spell it out for you?
What are you saying, you old man?
Just shut up and act like you're dying.
Then they don't say anything.
I'll be dying now.
Is that what you call dying?
How's your nausea?
There's a variety of food smells,
is your nausea okay?
It's enough to endure.
When are you going to the hospital?
Uncle!
It's her decision.
Every day you lose precious time.
Uncle, there are other people here.
How long have you been
friends with Tae Sub oppa?
You don't seem like a high school friend.
College?
How long have you known each other?
We met after the military service,
so it hasn't been that long.
He never brings home any friends.
He did until about junior high.
That friend, Woo Chul,
who used to walk to school with you every day.
What is he doing these days?
He immigrated a long time ago.
There was that kid also, the Rho Eun's son.
He was a bit short.
His eyes were really small.
Yes.
Do you know what happened to him?
He started his own business many times,
but it's all been a failure.
Too bad.
I heard you're a lecturer.
I'm just a traveling salesman.
So, photography is a side job?
- You could call it that.
- When did you start taking pictures?
You sure are curious about a lot of things.
Stop it. Let him eat.
When are you going to the hospital?
Ah, Uncle...
That's a matter between the two of us.
Don't be concerned about it.
Hey, saying don't be concerned
is not something a child says to an adult.
It could be interpreted as,
"mind your own business".
How could I say that?
I don't mean that at all.
So even if you were talking
with your mother-in-law,
would you say, "Mother-in-law,
mind your own business"?
I'm sorry, Uncle. I was wrong.
I used the wrong words.
If you made up your mind,
then hurry up and proceed.
What's there to procrastinate about?
- Hey!
- Uncle!
Uncle, change the subject.
What are you talking about, Uncle?
Noona will get indigestion.
What did I do?
What did I do?
I have no desire for rice cakes.
But why did I grab the rice cake?
- So you were a top comedian?
- Yes.
- Then you must have a popular act.
- Yes.
You probably know this popular act.
Why are you sitting in my seat?
Move.
I can't see the TV from my side.
I'm here.
Come in.
Yes, what's the matter?
My younger sister was supposed to be here, but
she'll be late because of a previous engagement.
I need someone to have dinner with.
This way.
This way.
I'll eat dinner at home.
I said I need someone to eat dinner.
Yes, please eat.
Once you're finished, I'll leave.
I hate eating by myself.
But, on my first night,
I have to do something I hate.
I really hate eating by myself.
Come eat with me.
Sit down.
Yes.
Here, I'll take it.
You're not drinking?
No.
I'm driving.
Then.
The food has cooled down a bit.
- Would you like it reheated?
- I'll eat it as it is.
Ah, yes.
Mmm, it hasn't completely cooled down.
Yes.
Go ahead and eat.
Yes.
You told me the staff here can do anything,
so I wanted to test if that was true.
The golf course restaurant's food is quite good.
The meat is not the best quality.
That may be the case.
Why haven't you married yet?
Didn't you say you haven't married yet?
I haven't.
Why?
That's a private matter.
That's true.
It is your private matter.
However, I'm trying to
make small talk during dinner.
About the matters at work...
I don't want to hear about that yet.
Why haven't you?
I feel very awkward talking about my private life.
Don't feel awkward.
Feel comfortable.
This isn't an interview
with my future mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law?
I'm a mother-in-law?
It's something I need to
answer to a future mother-in-law.
Then, think of me as your
future mother-in-law and answer me.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry. You don't look like
a mother-in-law to me so I cannot answer.
Was there a woman you liked?
Yes. I'm not a mixture of a socially
challenged, crazy person.
A mixture?
Elementary school student.
Does my laugh sound strange?
- It is strange.
- I know.
Pardon me, but
why does your laugh sound like that?
The part of my brain where laughter is
regulated is not working properly.
Are your parents still alive?
Yes, they are.
Brothers or sisters?
Wait a minute.
You are too young
to become my mother-in-law.
Also, for me to become
your son-in-law, I am too old.
How old are you?
Oh, hold on.
Yes. Father!
Go see how Father is doing.
After I see this.
Let's get married.
I need a doctor to apply medicine on me.
At night, it gets so itchy,
it drives me crazy.
It's not easy to cure.
If it's dry, it gets worse.
Let's get married.
Because you need someone
to put on some medicine?
That's what I need the most now.
All right, let's do it.
- When?
- Hold still.
Do you know?
When it's so itchy,
that Fantastic Four character,
the one where the arm stretches out.
I wish my arm could do that also.
What about here?
Yeah, put some there.
Who is it?
Cho Rong!
His allergy is severe.
I was putting on some medicine.
I'm finished. What is it?
Herb tea.
- Yours?
- Yeah. I can't stay?
It's not that.
Drink your tea.
Yeah, OK.
What kind of allergy?
I'm still trying to figure out.
You two seem really close.
You're even applying medicine on him.
Yeah, we're really close.
Are you married? Or are you like my brother?
I'm divorced.
She's just a little kid,
speak comfortably.
I'm not a little kid.
Also, just because I'm your little sister,
doesn't mean I'm your friend's little sister.
No manners.
No manners?
Yes, I'm a lady.
Though I haven't been for very long.
Are you a lady?
I'm not?
A goofy lady?
Is there someone you like?
Have you found one?
I do.
I have found someone.
What about you, Oppa?
He's divorced and he's
found another woman he likes.
You really have no skills.
There was a mountain of dishes.
What are you doing here instead
of helping out Mother? Go and help her.
Here.
Yes.
Just go and leave it here.
I'll take care of it.
Just leave it to us and go, Mom.
You worked hard making
all that food for the pictures.
Go, forget about it and rest up.
Wash up and get a massage from Dad, OK?
- There's too many things to take care of.
- Don't worry about it, Teacher.
Really Mom! Go, Mom. Go.
Even if you're not here,
we'll finish the job as if you were.
Hurry, go, go.
All right.
Today, I'm really exhausted.
It's no joke.
I wasn't like this a year ago.
Last year, you were exactly the same.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Then, I'll request a favor, Yeon Joo.
- Yes, Teacher.
Mom, the BBQ we canceled today
is day after tomorrow.
You can't use this place
the day after tomorrow.
I know, I won't create a conflict here.
I'll do it. Just clear the table.
When did you start working in the kitchen?
Let's see.
Since I was wobbling around.
What?
That's an exaggeration.
But ever since I could walk without falling,
my plate, spoon and chopsticks,
my mom trained me to take them to the sink.
Three? Four years old?
Why?
Because I'm so good at it, right?
Not to that extent. But experienced.
Of course I'm experienced.
I even make rice really well.
I can make some soup.
I can grill a fish really well.
My ramen, it's killer.
Fried foods.
Stews.
Stews are my specialty.
Soybean stew, kimchi stew, tofu stew.
You have no idea how popular my cooking is.
You have no fear in kitchen work.
It's my livelihood,
so what can I do?
I can't ask my father, nor my uncles.
My mom is busy with her own work.
Anyway, I said I'll serve the
resort and diving customers the best,
so before I knew it, I became this way.
Some days I do a mountain of dishes
then when I finally sit down to rest,
my hands smell like dish soap.
It smells like dishpans.
You're pretty good as well.
Kitchen work.
Cooking.
It's my job.
I'm still learning.
I don't think I have a particular gift.
Cooking is a gift also.
I can copy other people's designs,
but I can't copy their taste.
Your palate has to be special,
plus you need to have a natural touch.
And my mom has that?
What is that?
You said you liked it, so I made you a copy.
Ah, that blessing from last time.
I have it almost memorized.
Celebrate all the honest creations.
And from that blessed field,
gather your harvest.
Walk with a smile on your face.
Collect the simple happiness.
May you always be endowed
with happy blessings.
Even if you are blind, for your
loved ones, chop that wood.
Ride your bicycle as fast
as you can to the corner store.
Sit on a tree trunk.
And share that drink of soju
with your lifelong friends.
Laugh saying that's what life is all about.
Bless the souls that live that very life.
Excuse me.
You memorized the whole thing?
You just need to memorize one line at a time.
With your hands,
make some food for your younger siblings.
While doing the laundry,
change the coal briskets.
While holding back tears,
comfort your younger siblings.
A young woman dreaming of becoming a nurse.
Be blessed.
My nose is starting to tickle.
Is this correct?
Just wait a little bit more.
I'm heating up the water.
Father, Kyung Soo is leaving.
Oh, OK. All right.
Tae Sub, I'm not getting up.
Make sure he leaves okay.
OK.
Good work, Kyung Soo.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Goodbye.
- Okay. Have a safe trip home.
I'll walk him to the driveway.
Hyungnim! Hyungnim!
Something has happened!
Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!
My mom has run away from home.
What?
Mother is gone. He said she has
been out for a while and hasn't returned.
Where has she gone at night?
I don't know. An old woman who has
disappeared this late at night without a word.
That's running away.
Oh, Mom...
Goodbye!
Come again!
Grandmother, that's enough.
That's enough.
You drank a whole bottle.
Turn that off.
What did that do?
Turn it off!
I did.
Get up, Grandmother.
Grandmother.
Grandmother.
What were you doing?
You should have stayed
next to her the entire time!
This is for you, Sister-in-law.
You're making me the bad guy again.
It's not like she was here by herself. Father was
here, so I tried to stay away for the ambiance.
What ambiance? They're so cold to each other.
What, you want Father and Mom
to freeze to death? Aren't you a little harsh?
Stop arguing with each other,
go and find her!
Father, at this time of the night,
we're trying to think where she could be.
Go check the ocean.
She probably fell in and died.
What?
Was there something that happened?
Father, what did you do to Mom?
Just go out and find her!
She's not at home so she's somewhere outside.
What's upsetting you so much, Grandmother?
What?
What else could there be except Grandfather?
Is it because of Grandfather?
There's nothing.
Grandmother.
I told you there's nothing.
Father, don't worry.
Mother is coming right now.
- She's coming?
- Yes, she's coming.
Oh, Mother, you scared everyone.
You went out drinking?
She drank some alcohol.
Yeah. Thanks.
Mom, Mom, Mom...
Mom, have you been drinking?
Mom smells like alcohol.
- Mother!
- Mom!
