Wedding card
congratulate us!
May I ask who you are?
Is Prosecutor Kwon in his office?
He stepped out for a minute.
Who may I...
When is he coming back?
He'll be back in the afternoon.
All right, I'll wait.
Park Sang-hee.
Yes.
Lee Yong-hyun.
Yes.
Yoon Jung-sook.
Yes.
You're a troublemaker right up
to the end, aren't you?
You're a student until you
receive your diploma!
Where's your name badge?
And your school badge?
I hear you're getting married.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm very happy.
That's nice.
Yoon Jung-sook,
I want you to be happy.
And...
If there are eligible bachelors
around your husband,
don't forget to call me.
Okay.
We graduated!
One, two, three!
What, a traditional Korean wedding?
You're going to wear a Korean dress?
No wedding dress?
How could you give up on the
chance to wear a wedding dress?
As long as I have
the love of my husband,
I could even get married
in my school uniform.
You might say that all I need
is his passionate love.
How strange...
What is?
But he didn't like you.
Why the sudden change?
Well...
You shouldn't pry.
Besides, he's fallen hard for me.
Why has he fallen hard for you?
Are you saying
you don't believe me?
No.
- You either?
- No.
We need proof to believe you.
Proof...
Look behind you, friends!
Jung-sook!
Is that proof enough?
I have to go see my fiance now.
Bye.
So it's true!
Is this good enough?
Can't you act more loving?
Oh, my!
I said I'd marry you, not date you.
I only asked you to do it
because my friends
wouldn't believe
I was getting married.
You did buy the flowers for me,
didn't you?
Let's go.
We have somewhere to go.
Mister, where are we?
It's our home.
Do you like it?
What?
My grandfather would've
gotten us a better place.
But I wanted to do it on my own.
I barely had enough
to lease this place.
Don't prosecutors
make a lot of money?
I'm a public servant, you know.
We have to budget.
- Really?
- Really.
So why do women want to
marry prosecutors so badly?
Don't worry, Mister.
My mom and I have had many
part-time jobs to make ends meet.
I won't let you starve.
Just trust me!
I'll take you home.
Where did you go?
Jung-sook's graduation.
So you're acting
the loving fiance.
But what changed your mind?
You suddenly fell in love with her?
I'd be in trouble
if I fell in love with her.
I'll get hurt.
What do you mean?
Like you said, I think it'd be
all right to marry her.
Good thinking.
Marriage is about life, not love.
Whether you marry your love,
or someone arranged for you,
you still have to
live with the person.
Is everything okay?
You have a guest waiting for you.
Really?
Sis.
How could you do this to me?
I was going to tell you
when you came back from China.
Then you weren't going to
discuss it with me?
You wanted me to get
married too, didn't you?
Yes, but not this way.
Even if you were betrothed,
you can't marry a...
Sis.
I appreciate your concern,
but I don't want you to make
my decisions for me any longer.
No matter what you say,
I'm marrying her.
I made up my mind.
I'm finally marrying him.
It's all because of you,
Grandfather.
Now all I have left to do
is to make him love me.
You'll help me, won't you?
Hello?
Mister!
You want to see me now?
Okay.
Why does he want to see me again?
Does he miss me already?
Thank you, Grandfather!
Why didn't you come in?
We're not married yet.
So?
How could I go inside your house
knowing you're alone?
You sure are strange...
What brings you here?
I need you to meet someone
tomorrow night.
Who is it?
A very important person.
Are uniforms the only
clothes you have?
I'm still a student, you know!
Buy yourself a pretty outfit.
No, why should I take your money?
We'll be married so my money
is your money.
We're not married yet.
Just take it. Bye.
I think you'll look pretty
in the right clothes.
I'm pretty?
But this place is expensive.
Let's go someplace else.
But you're meeting an important
person with him tonight.
You have to dress up
and save his face.
He told you to dress up.
What would that mean?
He wants to take you out.
You're no longer a girl.
Get him!
Hello.
Do you still have that outfit
I was looking at?
Yes, there is one left.
Good.
Is it all right?
But is my hair okay
with this outfit?
It's too pretty.
You want to try on a hat?
- Hat?
- Hat!
Over there.
I like that one.
- Please let go.
- You should let go.
I got my hand on it first.
What do you mean?
I've been looking at this one.
Let go.
Why are you talking down to me?
Because I can.
You're a high school student,
aren't you?
I graduated high school!
And you can talk down
to me if I am?
You have no manners, do you?
Didn't your parents
teach you better?
You're not showing
any manners either, ma'am.
What? Ma'am?
Ma'am, you know who
her husband is?
He's a prosecutor.
You know what a prosecutor is,
don't you?
You should back out while you can.
What?
Well, excuse me.
- Let's go.
- Bye, ma'am.
What the...
Ma'am, the mature fashion
is on the third floor.
I can't believe it.
People don't teach
their children properly.
Right...
She said her husband is a prosecutor.
He might be someone you know.
Prosecutor?
Mister.
You!
She's the one?
Wait.
Let's talk for a minute.
We don't need to talk!
I'm going to talk to Grandfather!
Sis!
I can't understand him
telling you to marry
someone like her,
and you going along with it!
I can't accept this wedding!
Mister, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said anything.
I didn't know you had a sister.
She returned from China
recently after teaching there.
I see.
What am I going to do now?
She hates me.
She would've found something
about you to pick on,
even if she hadn't met you today.
She won't accept our wedding.
She and you don't get along?
My older sister made me this way.
What do you mean?
It's a long story.
I'll tell you next time.
We're here.
There won't be any obstacles
to our getting married, right?
It's your loss if you don't
get to marry me.
Goodbye, Prosecutor Kwon.
Wait.
What?
Did you threaten her, saying
your husband was a prosecutor?
A public servant must
never use his position
for his own benefit
or someone else's.
I'm the prosecutor, not you!
You'd better not do it again.
Okay.
Besides, what's this you're wearing?
I told you to wear something proper.
No, you said to wear something pretty!
- Did I?
- Yes.
Anyway, your skirt length
must be 10 centimeters
below the knee, and don't show
more than 20o/o of your skin.
- Mister!
- Quiet!
Jung-sook.
A poet once said it was
the wind that raised him.
What raised me was you.
What do you think?
I think it's nonsense.
Your father raised you.
You can't understand a poet.
Let's just be good friends, okay?
No, I don't want to be your friend.
What I mean is, I won't taint
the love I have for you
by saying it's just friendship.
You'll always remain in my heart,
like in The Scarlet Letter.
Forever.
Magnet, I don't know,
because I haven't read
The Scarlet Letter.
But I want to go inside
because I'm cold.
I have one last thing to say.
Go ahead.
Do you think wearing
expensive clothes,
and marrying a prosecutor
suits you?
What?
They're not suitable for each other.
That girl and Hyuk-joon
don't suit each other.
Grandfather, rethink your decision.
Stop talking about that.
I'll bring a suitable girl
for our family,
if you just give me some time.
I like Mr. Yoon's granddaughter,
and so does Hyuk-joon.
He doesn't like her.
How could someone who's
lacking in so many ways
be this family's only
daughter-in-law?
We can teach her the things
she doesn't know.
You could teach her.
Grandfather!
Stop saying such negative things
before the wedding.
You shouldn't have said that.
The wedding's in only two days.
You only upset him.
I am upset with you two.
You and Aunt should've
stopped this from happening!
You know how stubborn
your grandfather is.
He would never have
listened to us.
It's too late to
call off the wedding.
Just accept it.
No.
Let them get married.
I'll have them get a divorce.
Sun-ah!
Let her be.
She only said that
because she's upset.
You got off on the wrong foot
with your sister-in-law!
You're not pretty and
you're not smart.
And you don't come from
a rich family.
Yes!
His family's rich,
he's a prosecutor and...
He's handsome!
Do you think I'm not good
enough for him?
Of course...
Of course not!
You're not lacking in so many ways.
You're good at lots of things!
What am I good at?
- You sure can fight!
- Yes, she's the best!
There's more!
You're a good singer!
And you're a good dancer!
Right!
Yes, I'm a good singer
and dancer!
That's good enough!
What's so great about
a prosecutor?
I know!
Mister!
Right now?
What is it?
Hey, what are you wearing?
Do I look proper enough to be
a prosecutor's wife?
Let's go inside.
How nice!
- I've never been to a hotel!
- Just go inside.
Let's go.
Mister, you should've told me!
I'm not properly dressed!
I didn't know you'd wear
something like that.
You look pretty.
But you're dressed properly.
These are my work clothes.
It's okay.
It's not our engagement party.
I could've shown off
my fashion sense!
- Hyuk-joon!
- Hi!
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Where's your fiancee?
We all have high expectations.
Who is she?
Jung-sook.
I'll be right back.
Jung-sook!
Hello.
I'm Prosecutor Kwon's future wife.
I knew he did well in school,
but I never knew he was
fluent in English!
Are you Prosecutor Kwon's fiancee?
- Yes, I am.
- I was right.
Hello, we went to college with him.
I see...
We were very curious about you.
He was very popular in college.
What you're wearing is very chic.
- Is that Gucci?
- No, it's not Gucci.
They don't use that
type of material.
I think it's something else.
- Am I right?
- I don't know.
I stole it from my mom's
dry cleaner's.
I didn't actually steal it.
A customer never came back
for it for 2 years.
I wore it because I didn't
want to throw it away.
Does your family run
a laundry business?
What business?
Even dry cleaners aren't
doing so bad these days.
You look very young.
You're not still in school,
are you?
- I graduated.
- You did?
Prosecutors usually marry women
who majored in music or art.
What was your major?
What?
If I tell them I just
graduated from high school,
it'll be humiliating not
just for me but for him too.
My friends said
I'm a good singer, so...
I studied opera!
I studied in Italy and
came back this spring.
I went to the same famous
schoolthat Jo Su-mi attended.
I can't tell you
how a bunch of idiots...
What?
Well...
I wanted to continue studying,
but my family and
Prosecutor Kwon's family
wanted us to marry.
And when I met him,
he wasn't bad,
so I decided to marry him.
So did he propose to you?
No, I asked him.
Of course he proposed to me!
Kyung-hwan!
Jung-sook, he also studied opera
at the same school you attended.
You must know each other.
Well...
It was a big school...
Who was your professor?
Was it Professor...
I'll tell you when I
come back from the bathroom.
Why do they have to ask
so many questions?
I'd better find him and go home.
Where were you?
I went to Italy to study opera.
What?
Let's go.
It's no fun here.
Okay, let's go.
- Prosecutor Kwon.
- Yes.
I'll be right back.
Jung-sook.
We have a favor to ask you.
We have a very special
guest here tonight.
Kwon Hyuk-joon's fiancee,
who has studied opera
in Italy will sing a song
to congratulate the happy couple.
I think it would be fitting for you
to sing an Italian song
like you studied in Italy.
Italian song?
I would've studied if I'd known...
What could I sing?
Jung-sook.
I'll do it.
I'll sing...
Don't they teach you
that song in junior high?
Please, a round of applause.
How did it go?
What should I do?
Why don't we all sing together?
I'm sorry.
Jung-sook returned
from Italy recently,
and still has jet lag.
I don't think she can
remember the words.
I'll sing a song for you.
Mister, you never told me
you were a good singer!
You were so good!
Isn't there anything
you can't do?
You're smart,
you're a good fighter,
and you're a good singer!
- Jung-sook.
- Yes?
Why did you lie?
I'll forget about
tonight's incident.
But don't lie again.
I don't like it.
I didn't want to lie.
Do you think I wanted to lie?
But those women kept asking
where I went to college,
and what my family did.
You went to college
and you're rich,
but I never went to college,
and my family's poor.
I was embarrassed and
I didn't like it.
You were embarrassed?
You should be more embarrassed
that you were ashamed of yourself.
Then why did you help me earlier?
Why didn't you let them
find out I had lied?
Wasn't it because you
were ashamed of me?
Jung-sook.
You say you don't like my lying,
but you didn't want them
to know the truth about me
because you were ashamed of me!
Jung-sook!
Why did I say that?
Now he'll hate me!
I'm so stupid!
No, a fight between a husband
and wife never lasts long.
I should beg!
Oh, my!
I can't believe that
girl's getting married!
I'll be damned if she does
and damned if she doesn't!
He's not in at the moment?
He's in a meeting.
Would you like to wait for him?
No, Mister...
No, I mean could you
tell Prosecutor Kwon
that I'm waiting
in the break room?
Sure.
- Isn't she the one?
- I don't know...
Are you going to Prosecutor
Kwon's wedding?
Sure.
I'll go because I'm curious
who he's marrying.
Rumor has it that she
studied opera in Italy.
And she's from a prominent family.
Who says that?
That's all a lie.
She just graduated from high school,
and she's been raised
by her poor widowed mother.
She doesn't have much
of a background.
Really?
So why is Prosecutor
Kwon marrying her?
She's not a good match for him.
Why is he marrying her?
- He's too good for her.
- I know.
Prosecutor Kwon's a very
good prosecutor, but he's not
a good judge of character
when it comes to women.
Who would marry someone
just for her looks these days?
He's not worldly yet.
Look, you chubby man.
You shouldn't talk about
someone like that,
just because you think
she's not around.
What?
Who are you to butt in
on a conversation between adults?
Me?
I'm Prosecutor Kwon's fiancee.
Yes, I never went to college,
and I'm from a poor family.
So I exaggerated a little bit.
I'm sorry I stretched the truth,
but you shouldn't talk about
our wedding like that!
- It's just...
- That's okay.
I'm well aware that
I'm not much of a catch.
I don't care what you say about me,
but don't say anything
about my fiance.
He's not superficial like you!
Miss!
She came here to see me?
Yes, she said she'd wait for you
in the break room.
I'm sorry.
I should've told you earlier.
It's okay. You should go home.
All right.
Hey, we should go out for a drink
on your last night of bachelorhood.
Let's go.
I understand how she must've
felt to lie like that.
She's still a young girl, after all.
I'm sure she was nervous about
being in a situation like that.
You should talk to her
and make her feel better.
I know.
But I feel as if I
shouldn't do this to her.
What are you talking about?
What happened last night won't be
the last time something
like that happens.
I don't know if marrying me is
the right thing for her.
Your wedding's in two days.
Stop talking nonsense and drink.
Hello?
Yes, Mother.
What?
I'm too ashamed to face you.
I never thought she'd leave home.
It's my fault.
It's not your fault.
Because of me...
I hurt her feelings.
I'm sorry.
I don't think that was it.
I'm sure she knew that this
wedding shouldn't happen.
Jung-sook's not good enough
and not suitable for you.
Perhaps it's a good idea to call
off the wedding at this point.
Mother.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I'll look for her.
Prosecutor Kwon.
I'll find her and
we'll get married,
so don't worry.
What's your real reason for
wanting to marry Hyuk-joon?
I'll get right to the point.
Forget about marrying Hyuk-joon.
Why should I? No!
What could you possibly
do for Hyuk-joon?
You two can't communicate,
since you never went to college.
And it's not like your family
can help him financially.
I hope you don't think
cooking and cleaning
is all there is to being
a good wife.
As long as he wants to marry me,
what does that matter?
He takes his responsibility
as the firstborn very seriously.
And marriage is
no exception for him.
What Hyuk-joon needs is
not someone like you.
If you really care about him,
think about what you should do
about the wedding.
I'll call it off, okay?
I need to look for a person.
Her name is Yoon Jung-sook
and she's 18 years old.
I think she's wearing a black coat.
Sure.
Check all the crime reports
from last night.
This is Kwon Hyuk-joon.
Sis?
I'm going to Andong now.
What are you going to do tomorrow?
What are you talking about?
Didn't that outrageous
girl tell you?
Did you meet Jung-sook?
She wasn't too unreasonable.
Do you want to tell Grandfather
that the wedding's off?
Or do you want me to tell him?
Sis!
Stop talking nonsense,
because I'm getting
married as planned.
Let go!
I never wanted to see you again.
Why?
Because I thought the defeated
should just leave quietly.
Jung-sook grew up Ionely.
But she was happy and cheerful.
Now she's left home because of you.
What have you done to her?
I'm sorry. I've got nothing to say.
She left home
in this cold winter weather!
Except for her late grandfather,
father, and mother,
she has no other family!
I'm going to find Jung-sook.
I came to tell you that when I do,
I'll never let her go back to you.
Except for her late grandfather,
father, and mother,
she has no other family!
Grandfather, Father,
it's me, Jung-sook.
I'm sorry.
I decided not to get married.
I really like him,
but I think this is
what's best for him.
So...
What is your relationship
with my parents
that you're crying here like this?
What?
I'm sorry.
I got the wrong grave!
Why did you come here later than me?
How did you know I'd be here?
Are you embarrassed that you
wrotesuch a dramatic letter,
but I found you so easily?
Yes, Mother, I found Jung-sook.
I'll take her to Andong with me,
so we'll see you there.
There are a lot of
preparations to make,
so let's go straight to Andong.
I'm not going there.
Your mother will be there
early tomorrow morning.
You read my letter!
I'm not marrying you!
Is it because of
what my sister said?
I don't know
what my older sister said,
but I apologize.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
It's not entirely because of her.
Actually, I never had any
intention of marrying you.
I said it as a joke and
you took it seriously.
I'm sorry I'm backing off after
asking you to marry me first.
But I really can't marry you.
Please understand.
Do you mean that?
Yes, I mean it.
You really didn't want to
marry me anyway.
That's not true.
I thought it wouldn't be
so bad to marry you.
But if you don't want to marry me,
we should call it off.
Let's call it off.
Mister.
You can't pass here
because of the blizzard.
Then is there another road
I can take?
It's the same everywhere.
You can't go back.
But I have to get back.
But you don't even have
chains on your tires.
You should spend the night here
and leave tomorrow.
Jung-sook, you trust me,
don't you?
You can trust me!
I'm trustworthy!
I swear on my family's honor!
Can't you trust me?
What do you want me
to trust you for?
I'm running out of gas and
we might freeze to death.
So?
Are you going to
just rest for a while,
or are you going to
spend the night?
What?
Are you going to
just rest for a while,
or are you going to
spend the night?
Give us two rooms.
Do you think we have many vacant
rooms in this blizzard?
I only have one room!
What?
You're too young
to have bad hearing.
Never mind if you don't want it.
Give us that room.
You don't have to act
so shy and innocent!
- Jung-sook.
- Yes?
You can sleep on the bed,
and I'll sleep on the floor.
Mister.
What?
You can't move up to the bed
in the middle of the night.
What?
Stop talking nonsense
and go to sleep.
- Mister.
- What now?
We should be honest
with each other,
now that we're breaking up.
What do you mean?
Why did you want to marry me?
Why should I tell you
when we're breaking up?
Just go to sleep.
I'm curious.
You have lots of smart and
eligible women
swarming around you,
so why did you want to marry me?
You asked me to marry you!
Because I had my reasons!
Didn't you say that you thought
it wouldn't be so bad to marry me?
What did you mean by that?
Your bean paste stew isn't so bad.
Was that all?
I don't know.
I thought it wouldn't be
such a bad idea to marry you
when I saw that you made
bean paste stew for me.
That's all.
Mister, do you want to eat
the bean paste stew
I made for you again?
Let's go.
We have to stop the guests
from going to Andong.
We have to get to Andong!
What?
I thought about it last night,
and I think we're perfect
for each other.
I won't be arrogant,
since I only graduated
from high school.
And I won't ask you for favors
for my relatives,
since I don't have any.
Isn't that perfect for the wife
of a public servant?
I'll marry you...
As long as we're not late
to the wedding.
What's wrong with the car?
Why can't you start the car?
I think the battery's dead.
Mister!
What do you mean,
the bride and groom haven't
arrived yet?
What's going on?
Uncle, it's time we told him.
Grandfather, the bride won't come.
You should tell the guests
that the wedding's off.
What did you say?
The bride ran away,
saying she couldn't get married.
What?
I'm sorry, sir.
All because of my daughter...
This is why I was so against
the wedding.
You have to call off the wedding
before we inconvenience
the guests further.
Let's wait.
Grandfather.
We still have some time.
We can tell the guests
if they don't show up by 12:00.
But the guests...
It's not good manners
to send the guests back
when they came all the way here.
After all, the food was
prepared for them.
Start setting up the tables.
Don't worry.
I have confidence
in my new granddaughter-in-law.
Thank you, sir.
Sir!
Mister!
Look!
Grandfather, why don't you tell
the guests the truth now?
They're here!
Over there!
Mom!
Grandfather is waiting.
Grandfather, we're here!
congratulate us!
May I ask who you are?
Is Prosecutor Kwon in his office?
He stepped out for a minute.
Who may I...
When is he coming back?
He'll be back in the afternoon.
All right, I'll wait.
Park Sang-hee.
Yes.
Lee Yong-hyun.
Yes.
Yoon Jung-sook.
Yes.
You're a troublemaker right up
to the end, aren't you?
You're a student until you
receive your diploma!
Where's your name badge?
And your school badge?
I hear you're getting married.
Are you happy?
Yes, I'm very happy.
That's nice.
Yoon Jung-sook,
I want you to be happy.
And...
If there are eligible bachelors
around your husband,
don't forget to call me.
Okay.
We graduated!
One, two, three!
What, a traditional Korean wedding?
You're going to wear a Korean dress?
No wedding dress?
How could you give up on the
chance to wear a wedding dress?
As long as I have
the love of my husband,
I could even get married
in my school uniform.
You might say that all I need
is his passionate love.
How strange...
What is?
But he didn't like you.
Why the sudden change?
Well...
You shouldn't pry.
Besides, he's fallen hard for me.
Why has he fallen hard for you?
Are you saying
you don't believe me?
No.
- You either?
- No.
We need proof to believe you.
Proof...
Look behind you, friends!
Jung-sook!
Is that proof enough?
I have to go see my fiance now.
Bye.
So it's true!
Is this good enough?
Can't you act more loving?
Oh, my!
I said I'd marry you, not date you.
I only asked you to do it
because my friends
wouldn't believe
I was getting married.
You did buy the flowers for me,
didn't you?
Let's go.
We have somewhere to go.
Mister, where are we?
It's our home.
Do you like it?
What?
My grandfather would've
gotten us a better place.
But I wanted to do it on my own.
I barely had enough
to lease this place.
Don't prosecutors
make a lot of money?
I'm a public servant, you know.
We have to budget.
- Really?
- Really.
So why do women want to
marry prosecutors so badly?
Don't worry, Mister.
My mom and I have had many
part-time jobs to make ends meet.
I won't let you starve.
Just trust me!
I'll take you home.
Where did you go?
Jung-sook's graduation.
So you're acting
the loving fiance.
But what changed your mind?
You suddenly fell in love with her?
I'd be in trouble
if I fell in love with her.
I'll get hurt.
What do you mean?
Like you said, I think it'd be
all right to marry her.
Good thinking.
Marriage is about life, not love.
Whether you marry your love,
or someone arranged for you,
you still have to
live with the person.
Is everything okay?
You have a guest waiting for you.
Really?
Sis.
How could you do this to me?
I was going to tell you
when you came back from China.
Then you weren't going to
discuss it with me?
You wanted me to get
married too, didn't you?
Yes, but not this way.
Even if you were betrothed,
you can't marry a...
Sis.
I appreciate your concern,
but I don't want you to make
my decisions for me any longer.
No matter what you say,
I'm marrying her.
I made up my mind.
I'm finally marrying him.
It's all because of you,
Grandfather.
Now all I have left to do
is to make him love me.
You'll help me, won't you?
Hello?
Mister!
You want to see me now?
Okay.
Why does he want to see me again?
Does he miss me already?
Thank you, Grandfather!
Why didn't you come in?
We're not married yet.
So?
How could I go inside your house
knowing you're alone?
You sure are strange...
What brings you here?
I need you to meet someone
tomorrow night.
Who is it?
A very important person.
Are uniforms the only
clothes you have?
I'm still a student, you know!
Buy yourself a pretty outfit.
No, why should I take your money?
We'll be married so my money
is your money.
We're not married yet.
Just take it. Bye.
I think you'll look pretty
in the right clothes.
I'm pretty?
But this place is expensive.
Let's go someplace else.
But you're meeting an important
person with him tonight.
You have to dress up
and save his face.
He told you to dress up.
What would that mean?
He wants to take you out.
You're no longer a girl.
Get him!
Hello.
Do you still have that outfit
I was looking at?
Yes, there is one left.
Good.
Is it all right?
But is my hair okay
with this outfit?
It's too pretty.
You want to try on a hat?
- Hat?
- Hat!
Over there.
I like that one.
- Please let go.
- You should let go.
I got my hand on it first.
What do you mean?
I've been looking at this one.
Let go.
Why are you talking down to me?
Because I can.
You're a high school student,
aren't you?
I graduated high school!
And you can talk down
to me if I am?
You have no manners, do you?
Didn't your parents
teach you better?
You're not showing
any manners either, ma'am.
What? Ma'am?
Ma'am, you know who
her husband is?
He's a prosecutor.
You know what a prosecutor is,
don't you?
You should back out while you can.
What?
Well, excuse me.
- Let's go.
- Bye, ma'am.
What the...
Ma'am, the mature fashion
is on the third floor.
I can't believe it.
People don't teach
their children properly.
Right...
She said her husband is a prosecutor.
He might be someone you know.
Prosecutor?
Mister.
You!
She's the one?
Wait.
Let's talk for a minute.
We don't need to talk!
I'm going to talk to Grandfather!
Sis!
I can't understand him
telling you to marry
someone like her,
and you going along with it!
I can't accept this wedding!
Mister, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said anything.
I didn't know you had a sister.
She returned from China
recently after teaching there.
I see.
What am I going to do now?
She hates me.
She would've found something
about you to pick on,
even if she hadn't met you today.
She won't accept our wedding.
She and you don't get along?
My older sister made me this way.
What do you mean?
It's a long story.
I'll tell you next time.
We're here.
There won't be any obstacles
to our getting married, right?
It's your loss if you don't
get to marry me.
Goodbye, Prosecutor Kwon.
Wait.
What?
Did you threaten her, saying
your husband was a prosecutor?
A public servant must
never use his position
for his own benefit
or someone else's.
I'm the prosecutor, not you!
You'd better not do it again.
Okay.
Besides, what's this you're wearing?
I told you to wear something proper.
No, you said to wear something pretty!
- Did I?
- Yes.
Anyway, your skirt length
must be 10 centimeters
below the knee, and don't show
more than 20o/o of your skin.
- Mister!
- Quiet!
Jung-sook.
A poet once said it was
the wind that raised him.
What raised me was you.
What do you think?
I think it's nonsense.
Your father raised you.
You can't understand a poet.
Let's just be good friends, okay?
No, I don't want to be your friend.
What I mean is, I won't taint
the love I have for you
by saying it's just friendship.
You'll always remain in my heart,
like in The Scarlet Letter.
Forever.
Magnet, I don't know,
because I haven't read
The Scarlet Letter.
But I want to go inside
because I'm cold.
I have one last thing to say.
Go ahead.
Do you think wearing
expensive clothes,
and marrying a prosecutor
suits you?
What?
They're not suitable for each other.
That girl and Hyuk-joon
don't suit each other.
Grandfather, rethink your decision.
Stop talking about that.
I'll bring a suitable girl
for our family,
if you just give me some time.
I like Mr. Yoon's granddaughter,
and so does Hyuk-joon.
He doesn't like her.
How could someone who's
lacking in so many ways
be this family's only
daughter-in-law?
We can teach her the things
she doesn't know.
You could teach her.
Grandfather!
Stop saying such negative things
before the wedding.
You shouldn't have said that.
The wedding's in only two days.
You only upset him.
I am upset with you two.
You and Aunt should've
stopped this from happening!
You know how stubborn
your grandfather is.
He would never have
listened to us.
It's too late to
call off the wedding.
Just accept it.
No.
Let them get married.
I'll have them get a divorce.
Sun-ah!
Let her be.
She only said that
because she's upset.
You got off on the wrong foot
with your sister-in-law!
You're not pretty and
you're not smart.
And you don't come from
a rich family.
Yes!
His family's rich,
he's a prosecutor and...
He's handsome!
Do you think I'm not good
enough for him?
Of course...
Of course not!
You're not lacking in so many ways.
You're good at lots of things!
What am I good at?
- You sure can fight!
- Yes, she's the best!
There's more!
You're a good singer!
And you're a good dancer!
Right!
Yes, I'm a good singer
and dancer!
That's good enough!
What's so great about
a prosecutor?
I know!
Mister!
Right now?
What is it?
Hey, what are you wearing?
Do I look proper enough to be
a prosecutor's wife?
Let's go inside.
How nice!
- I've never been to a hotel!
- Just go inside.
Let's go.
Mister, you should've told me!
I'm not properly dressed!
I didn't know you'd wear
something like that.
You look pretty.
But you're dressed properly.
These are my work clothes.
It's okay.
It's not our engagement party.
I could've shown off
my fashion sense!
- Hyuk-joon!
- Hi!
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Where's your fiancee?
We all have high expectations.
Who is she?
Jung-sook.
I'll be right back.
Jung-sook!
Hello.
I'm Prosecutor Kwon's future wife.
I knew he did well in school,
but I never knew he was
fluent in English!
Are you Prosecutor Kwon's fiancee?
- Yes, I am.
- I was right.
Hello, we went to college with him.
I see...
We were very curious about you.
He was very popular in college.
What you're wearing is very chic.
- Is that Gucci?
- No, it's not Gucci.
They don't use that
type of material.
I think it's something else.
- Am I right?
- I don't know.
I stole it from my mom's
dry cleaner's.
I didn't actually steal it.
A customer never came back
for it for 2 years.
I wore it because I didn't
want to throw it away.
Does your family run
a laundry business?
What business?
Even dry cleaners aren't
doing so bad these days.
You look very young.
You're not still in school,
are you?
- I graduated.
- You did?
Prosecutors usually marry women
who majored in music or art.
What was your major?
What?
If I tell them I just
graduated from high school,
it'll be humiliating not
just for me but for him too.
My friends said
I'm a good singer, so...
I studied opera!
I studied in Italy and
came back this spring.
I went to the same famous
schoolthat Jo Su-mi attended.
I can't tell you
how a bunch of idiots...
What?
Well...
I wanted to continue studying,
but my family and
Prosecutor Kwon's family
wanted us to marry.
And when I met him,
he wasn't bad,
so I decided to marry him.
So did he propose to you?
No, I asked him.
Of course he proposed to me!
Kyung-hwan!
Jung-sook, he also studied opera
at the same school you attended.
You must know each other.
Well...
It was a big school...
Who was your professor?
Was it Professor...
I'll tell you when I
come back from the bathroom.
Why do they have to ask
so many questions?
I'd better find him and go home.
Where were you?
I went to Italy to study opera.
What?
Let's go.
It's no fun here.
Okay, let's go.
- Prosecutor Kwon.
- Yes.
I'll be right back.
Jung-sook.
We have a favor to ask you.
We have a very special
guest here tonight.
Kwon Hyuk-joon's fiancee,
who has studied opera
in Italy will sing a song
to congratulate the happy couple.
I think it would be fitting for you
to sing an Italian song
like you studied in Italy.
Italian song?
I would've studied if I'd known...
What could I sing?
Jung-sook.
I'll do it.
I'll sing...
Don't they teach you
that song in junior high?
Please, a round of applause.
How did it go?
What should I do?
Why don't we all sing together?
I'm sorry.
Jung-sook returned
from Italy recently,
and still has jet lag.
I don't think she can
remember the words.
I'll sing a song for you.
Mister, you never told me
you were a good singer!
You were so good!
Isn't there anything
you can't do?
You're smart,
you're a good fighter,
and you're a good singer!
- Jung-sook.
- Yes?
Why did you lie?
I'll forget about
tonight's incident.
But don't lie again.
I don't like it.
I didn't want to lie.
Do you think I wanted to lie?
But those women kept asking
where I went to college,
and what my family did.
You went to college
and you're rich,
but I never went to college,
and my family's poor.
I was embarrassed and
I didn't like it.
You were embarrassed?
You should be more embarrassed
that you were ashamed of yourself.
Then why did you help me earlier?
Why didn't you let them
find out I had lied?
Wasn't it because you
were ashamed of me?
Jung-sook.
You say you don't like my lying,
but you didn't want them
to know the truth about me
because you were ashamed of me!
Jung-sook!
Why did I say that?
Now he'll hate me!
I'm so stupid!
No, a fight between a husband
and wife never lasts long.
I should beg!
Oh, my!
I can't believe that
girl's getting married!
I'll be damned if she does
and damned if she doesn't!
He's not in at the moment?
He's in a meeting.
Would you like to wait for him?
No, Mister...
No, I mean could you
tell Prosecutor Kwon
that I'm waiting
in the break room?
Sure.
- Isn't she the one?
- I don't know...
Are you going to Prosecutor
Kwon's wedding?
Sure.
I'll go because I'm curious
who he's marrying.
Rumor has it that she
studied opera in Italy.
And she's from a prominent family.
Who says that?
That's all a lie.
She just graduated from high school,
and she's been raised
by her poor widowed mother.
She doesn't have much
of a background.
Really?
So why is Prosecutor
Kwon marrying her?
She's not a good match for him.
Why is he marrying her?
- He's too good for her.
- I know.
Prosecutor Kwon's a very
good prosecutor, but he's not
a good judge of character
when it comes to women.
Who would marry someone
just for her looks these days?
He's not worldly yet.
Look, you chubby man.
You shouldn't talk about
someone like that,
just because you think
she's not around.
What?
Who are you to butt in
on a conversation between adults?
Me?
I'm Prosecutor Kwon's fiancee.
Yes, I never went to college,
and I'm from a poor family.
So I exaggerated a little bit.
I'm sorry I stretched the truth,
but you shouldn't talk about
our wedding like that!
- It's just...
- That's okay.
I'm well aware that
I'm not much of a catch.
I don't care what you say about me,
but don't say anything
about my fiance.
He's not superficial like you!
Miss!
She came here to see me?
Yes, she said she'd wait for you
in the break room.
I'm sorry.
I should've told you earlier.
It's okay. You should go home.
All right.
Hey, we should go out for a drink
on your last night of bachelorhood.
Let's go.
I understand how she must've
felt to lie like that.
She's still a young girl, after all.
I'm sure she was nervous about
being in a situation like that.
You should talk to her
and make her feel better.
I know.
But I feel as if I
shouldn't do this to her.
What are you talking about?
What happened last night won't be
the last time something
like that happens.
I don't know if marrying me is
the right thing for her.
Your wedding's in two days.
Stop talking nonsense and drink.
Hello?
Yes, Mother.
What?
I'm too ashamed to face you.
I never thought she'd leave home.
It's my fault.
It's not your fault.
Because of me...
I hurt her feelings.
I'm sorry.
I don't think that was it.
I'm sure she knew that this
wedding shouldn't happen.
Jung-sook's not good enough
and not suitable for you.
Perhaps it's a good idea to call
off the wedding at this point.
Mother.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I'll look for her.
Prosecutor Kwon.
I'll find her and
we'll get married,
so don't worry.
What's your real reason for
wanting to marry Hyuk-joon?
I'll get right to the point.
Forget about marrying Hyuk-joon.
Why should I? No!
What could you possibly
do for Hyuk-joon?
You two can't communicate,
since you never went to college.
And it's not like your family
can help him financially.
I hope you don't think
cooking and cleaning
is all there is to being
a good wife.
As long as he wants to marry me,
what does that matter?
He takes his responsibility
as the firstborn very seriously.
And marriage is
no exception for him.
What Hyuk-joon needs is
not someone like you.
If you really care about him,
think about what you should do
about the wedding.
I'll call it off, okay?
I need to look for a person.
Her name is Yoon Jung-sook
and she's 18 years old.
I think she's wearing a black coat.
Sure.
Check all the crime reports
from last night.
This is Kwon Hyuk-joon.
Sis?
I'm going to Andong now.
What are you going to do tomorrow?
What are you talking about?
Didn't that outrageous
girl tell you?
Did you meet Jung-sook?
She wasn't too unreasonable.
Do you want to tell Grandfather
that the wedding's off?
Or do you want me to tell him?
Sis!
Stop talking nonsense,
because I'm getting
married as planned.
Let go!
I never wanted to see you again.
Why?
Because I thought the defeated
should just leave quietly.
Jung-sook grew up Ionely.
But she was happy and cheerful.
Now she's left home because of you.
What have you done to her?
I'm sorry. I've got nothing to say.
She left home
in this cold winter weather!
Except for her late grandfather,
father, and mother,
she has no other family!
I'm going to find Jung-sook.
I came to tell you that when I do,
I'll never let her go back to you.
Except for her late grandfather,
father, and mother,
she has no other family!
Grandfather, Father,
it's me, Jung-sook.
I'm sorry.
I decided not to get married.
I really like him,
but I think this is
what's best for him.
So...
What is your relationship
with my parents
that you're crying here like this?
What?
I'm sorry.
I got the wrong grave!
Why did you come here later than me?
How did you know I'd be here?
Are you embarrassed that you
wrotesuch a dramatic letter,
but I found you so easily?
Yes, Mother, I found Jung-sook.
I'll take her to Andong with me,
so we'll see you there.
There are a lot of
preparations to make,
so let's go straight to Andong.
I'm not going there.
Your mother will be there
early tomorrow morning.
You read my letter!
I'm not marrying you!
Is it because of
what my sister said?
I don't know
what my older sister said,
but I apologize.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
It's not entirely because of her.
Actually, I never had any
intention of marrying you.
I said it as a joke and
you took it seriously.
I'm sorry I'm backing off after
asking you to marry me first.
But I really can't marry you.
Please understand.
Do you mean that?
Yes, I mean it.
You really didn't want to
marry me anyway.
That's not true.
I thought it wouldn't be
so bad to marry you.
But if you don't want to marry me,
we should call it off.
Let's call it off.
Mister.
You can't pass here
because of the blizzard.
Then is there another road
I can take?
It's the same everywhere.
You can't go back.
But I have to get back.
But you don't even have
chains on your tires.
You should spend the night here
and leave tomorrow.
Jung-sook, you trust me,
don't you?
You can trust me!
I'm trustworthy!
I swear on my family's honor!
Can't you trust me?
What do you want me
to trust you for?
I'm running out of gas and
we might freeze to death.
So?
Are you going to
just rest for a while,
or are you going to
spend the night?
What?
Are you going to
just rest for a while,
or are you going to
spend the night?
Give us two rooms.
Do you think we have many vacant
rooms in this blizzard?
I only have one room!
What?
You're too young
to have bad hearing.
Never mind if you don't want it.
Give us that room.
You don't have to act
so shy and innocent!
- Jung-sook.
- Yes?
You can sleep on the bed,
and I'll sleep on the floor.
Mister.
What?
You can't move up to the bed
in the middle of the night.
What?
Stop talking nonsense
and go to sleep.
- Mister.
- What now?
We should be honest
with each other,
now that we're breaking up.
What do you mean?
Why did you want to marry me?
Why should I tell you
when we're breaking up?
Just go to sleep.
I'm curious.
You have lots of smart and
eligible women
swarming around you,
so why did you want to marry me?
You asked me to marry you!
Because I had my reasons!
Didn't you say that you thought
it wouldn't be so bad to marry me?
What did you mean by that?
Your bean paste stew isn't so bad.
Was that all?
I don't know.
I thought it wouldn't be
such a bad idea to marry you
when I saw that you made
bean paste stew for me.
That's all.
Mister, do you want to eat
the bean paste stew
I made for you again?
Let's go.
We have to stop the guests
from going to Andong.
We have to get to Andong!
What?
I thought about it last night,
and I think we're perfect
for each other.
I won't be arrogant,
since I only graduated
from high school.
And I won't ask you for favors
for my relatives,
since I don't have any.
Isn't that perfect for the wife
of a public servant?
I'll marry you...
As long as we're not late
to the wedding.
What's wrong with the car?
Why can't you start the car?
I think the battery's dead.
Mister!
What do you mean,
the bride and groom haven't
arrived yet?
What's going on?
Uncle, it's time we told him.
Grandfather, the bride won't come.
You should tell the guests
that the wedding's off.
What did you say?
The bride ran away,
saying she couldn't get married.
What?
I'm sorry, sir.
All because of my daughter...
This is why I was so against
the wedding.
You have to call off the wedding
before we inconvenience
the guests further.
Let's wait.
Grandfather.
We still have some time.
We can tell the guests
if they don't show up by 12:00.
But the guests...
It's not good manners
to send the guests back
when they came all the way here.
After all, the food was
prepared for them.
Start setting up the tables.
Don't worry.
I have confidence
in my new granddaughter-in-law.
Thank you, sir.
Sir!
Mister!
Look!
Grandfather, why don't you tell
the guests the truth now?
They're here!
Over there!
Mom!
Grandfather is waiting.
Grandfather, we're here!
