REPLY 1988
Where did you go?
Somewhere in the countryside.
Dressed like this?
I feel like I'm going to freeze to death.
Why? Is something up?
What are you doing here?
I was waiting for you.
Me?
Why?
Because I have something to tell you.
Go ahead.
-I'm really going to say it.
-Yes, go ahead.
I like you, Bo-ra.
I said I like you.
I like you too.
You know that I'm not joking.
I'm being serious.
-I have a boyfriend.
-I know.
And I've never thought of you
as a man.
Yes, I know.
Why would you make me feel uncomfortable
by telling me such a thing?
Are you concerned because of me?
No.
How you feel about me is your own right.
But I've told you how I feel.
Yes, don't worry about me.
Of course I'm not going to!
Why would I?
How dare you mess with me, little kid.
Whatever. Stop it.
Hey, I'm tired. Bye.
I don't want to get involved
with you for this kind of thing.
Keep what happened tonight
between just the two of us, okay?
Let's take this to our graves, got it?
Thank you.
CHRISTMAS EVE D-7
Okay. We will now be starting
our first Secret Santa game.
Wow!
What are we doing?
Um Secret Santa.
Secret Santa.
-What the hell?
-What Secret Santa?
-Don't pretend you didn't hear.
-Why are we doing this?
Oh, Bo-ra.
What's up? Why did you call me?
You're here. Well
-Jerk.
-All right.
Since we're all here,
we'll officially begin the Secret Santa--
What?
-What the hell did you say?
-Bo-ra
Can you please speak a bit more quietly?
My heart is
So you called me here for this?
I'm damn busy!
Jung-bong,
I have to go to the Go-game Association.
Okay, Taek. This will be over soon.
Just wait a bit.
Why? I think it'll be fun.
-Jung-bong, continue!
-Thanks, No-eul.
Since everyone is busy,
I'll do this quickly.
I'd like everyone to take one each.
Yes, one each.
You'll be the Secret Santa
for whoever's name is on your paper.
You have exactly one week. So
by Christmas Eve, you have to be secretly
nice to the person whose name you have.
Of course, a present is a must.
Why does he want to do this
all of the sudden?
He's collecting LPs these days.
As for the present
you have to figure out
what your person would want for a present
and then give it to him or her
on the last day.
For your reference, as for me
If you're my Secret Santa,
I really want the Fourth Official
Campus Music Festival LP.
But I just have no means whatsoever
to obtain it for myself.
What should I do
He's collecting
the Campus Music Festival LPs,
and he has all but the fourth one.
You guys are rich though.
My mom said she'll kill him
if he buys one more.
He's not getting any allowance until his
exam results come out. He's broke.
All right, everyone. Let's focus.
You all know the rules, right?
Secret Santa is
like having a "secret friend."
So you can't tell anyone
who your person is.
Jung-bong! I'll buy you that LP.
I have you.
What?
-What? I have him, too.
-So do I.
KIM JUNG-BONG
Kim Jung-bong? What the hell this?
Oh, well
Give them to me.
Okay.
Okay, this was just a practice round.
The practice round is over.
I'm going to chop your hands off
if you keep messing around!
I'm leaving.
What is up with this childishness?
Even so, he took the time to prepare this.
Just pick a name and then go.
Gosh.
What a jerk.
I'll head out first. I'm sorry.
Let's let him go.
He's been here for a while already.
Sure. Bye, Taek.
-Bye, Master Choi.
-Bye.
-Bye, Taek.
-Bye.
What if people pick each other?
Then you can just be nice to each other.
It's like fate.
-Get married!
-Get married!
-Get married!
-What if you pick yourself?
That's also fate, so
-Get married!
-Get married!
-Get married!
-Get married!
No way that would happen.
There are so many people here.
We're done, right? I'm leaving, too.
Bo-ra, you have until Christmas Eve!
-You have a week!
-I told you, I'm not doing it!
Hey!
Hey, what are you doing?
What's with you?
What are you doing?
BO-RA
You're such a jerk!
SUN-WOO
What are you doing?
They're doing a neighborhood meeting.
I think it's almost over.
Let's go to Taek's place
and have some ramen.
I have something to tell you too.
Me?
What's the point of having the meeting?
They talk to each other every day.
I know, right?
They're deadly earnest about it.
I guess they're deciding
on something important.
Nothing?
If there's no other feedback, then
we'll decide on notebooks.
That's a good idea!
So let's end the meeting here!
-Let's go--
-Wait.
Then, the present for our kids
this year will be
notebooks!
Excuse me.
How about a notepad
instead of a notebook?
A notepad ouch!
I'm sorry. He's not well.
What's up with this nonsense
Whether it's a notebook or a notepad,
I'll buy it for all our kids!
All right. Let's end
our monthly neighborhood meeting.
-Nobody has anything else, correct?
-Yes.
Next month, we'll have the meeting
at his place.
-Okay.
-That's it!
That's it! It's finally over!
Gosh, why do we need to have
a meeting for three hours?
Excuse me.
-I have something to say.
-Gosh, Sun-young.
Let's please end it and go home, already!
Don't you see Moo-sung sleeping
over there?
Last year, which one of you told
Jin-ju that Santa doesn't exist?
Who was it?
Who blabbed to this innocent child
that there's no Santa?
Who do you think?
It was probably their eldest daughter.
ANIMAL COOKIE SE
ONE YEAR AGO
Give me one.
Just one.
No! Santa gave these to me!
Jin-ju. Your mom bought those.
There's no such thing as Santa.
I knew it.
She's always had such a temper.
I forgot.
Well
kids tend to forget things quickly.
We'll buy Jin-ju's Christmas present
this year.
Um please wake the kid up.
Tap her or something.
Jin-ju
Jin-ju.
Um Jin-ju!
What do you want from Santa this year?
I'll relay what you want to Santa.
What do you want?
There's no such thing as Santa.
There's no such thing
Want to watch a video after we eat?
Die Hard is out now.
I'm going to the study room.
I have to finish physics today.
But you're the one who decided that.
Just do it tomorrow.
I have to work on World History
and play with Jin-ju tomorrow.
Eat up.
At times like this, you're such a nerd.
What a mysterious bastard.
What? Why are you picking a fight again?
You like Bo-ra, right?
I happened to hear.
Really?
When?
On the day it snowed.
Behind my front door.
It's a secret.
Of course, bastard. I won't tell anyone.
I thought you liked Deok-sun for sure.
Why her, for sure?
-Deok-sun is prettier.
-What?
She's the prettiest among the ugly girls.
Are you saying she's pretty or ugly?
Of course I'm saying she's ugly!
The meeting must be over by now, right?
Kids will believe as long as there's
a present for them in the morning.
So buy Jin-ju a present
and put it next to her, okay?
Jin-ju!
What do you want for Christmas?
We'll buy it for you.
Go ahead and tell me. I'll buy it.
What do you want?
A snowman!
That's easy!
Oh, my Jin-ju wants a snowman?
What do we do?
That's something that's only possible
with Santa around.
Who else could buy you a snowman?
That's right!
There isn't a place that sells snowmen.
Only Santa could bring that for you!
Then, Jin-ju
For you, I'll put a special request
in to Santa so you can get a snowman!
Okay?
But, um that day
Jin-ju!
Jung-bong has steamed red bean buns.
Go ask him for one.
-Steamed red bean buns?
-Yes.
But what if it doesn't snow on that day?
-How do we make a snowman, then?
-Oh, no
I didn't think that far ahead.
It will snow.
It says it'll snow in the Seoul area
on the 23rd and the 24th!
We're saved, then!
There's nothing to worry about, then!
If it snows,
making a snowman is no big deal.
Then everything worked out fine, right?
Let's go now!
Gosh! If there's another meeting
back to back, I'll be dead.
Hey, Moo-sung! Wake up!
Wow that guy
I've never seen someone fall asleep
so easily at someone else's house.
It's because he wakes up so early
to feed Taek.
Anyway, let's meet up
on the night of Christmas Eve, okay?
Everyone should come out.
The more the merrier!
Sure! Since it's vacation,
all I have is time!
All right, I'll get going, then!
-Okay!
-Bye!
-Be careful on the way home.
-Bye!
-Does your wrist hurt again?
-Yes.
I guess winter is coming.
It always hurts around this time.
Let's eat before you go.
Want to make some Kimchi noodles?
Your wrist hurts, so don't bother.
How about some Korean style Chinese food?
I want Jjamppong.
I want Jjajangmyun with red pepper flakes!
Moo-sung, where are you going?
Oh I have to go and make dinner.
Gosh, you can just eat here!
That's right! Have some Jjajangmyun.
Taek went to Go-game association.
Even so what if he doesn't eat dinner
before he comes home?
Then we can make him dinner!
It's okay for him to miss just one meal!
If I were to be born again,
I'd want to be reborn as Moo-sung's son.
You're seriously the best
when it comes to taking care of your kid.
The moms here should learn from you.
No, that's not true. I don't do much.
Come on. If you aren't doing much,
my wife literally does nothing!
Compared to you,
she does nothing but eat!
What did you just say?
Hurry up and beg for her forgiveness!
I'm just saying.
Did I say that you were really like that?
You know how I feel.
Hurry up and apologize!
Why do I need to apologize over something
like this? Instead of an apology
I'll give you a "B"-pology.
Dammit! You better stop
with your stupid nonsense jokes!
What? A "B"-pology is worth
more than just an "A"-pology!
"B" comes after "A," so it's worth more!
Gosh! That makes no sense!
You're a pain in my ass!
I'm going to beat you to death!
-Okay, "C"-pology, then! "D"-pology?
-"D"-pology my ass!
-Hey!
-Mi-ran, just let him go.
Deok-sun, it's me.
We're going to order Jjajangmyun.
You guys order something, too!
You like it?
Ask at the house in front
for your payment.
-Will do. Enjoy your meal!
-Thank you.
Dong-ryong.
How did you know?
I heard the motorcycle.
-What about the others?
-They're studying. Those bastards.
DO NOT SLEEP STUDY ROOM
Who did you get for Secret Santa?
Don't know. Don't care.
Eat up, Jung-bong.
How did this is fate!
Oh!
-No-eul, wait.
-Okay.
Jung-bong, are you by any chance--
You have to follow the rules.
You two picked each other, didn't you?
You two look good together. Get married.
-Get married.
-Get married.
Wow.
No-eul.
Lately, I don't have much money.
Otherwise, I would have bought you
a bunch of bananas.
No, you don't need to.
Instead can I
Go ahead.
If it's something I can do for you,
anything is fine.
You said you're getting me
that LP I want so bad, so
there's nothing
I wouldn't want to do for you.
If there's anything in this room
that you want,
I'll give you anything.
Do you, by any chance, have Hwang Sa?
Hwang Sa?
You mean Spring's unwelcome guest?
In my room?
No!
You know, A Charming Adolescence.
Oh, that novel.
You have it, right?
I don't have it myself,
but someone I know does.
If you want it, I can get it for you.
Kim Jung-bong!
SUNG DEOK-SUN
JUNG-HWAN
How's Lee Mi-yeon so pretty
even when she lives in a shanty town?
-Taek isn't back yet?
-Hey, knock before barging in!
Knock, my ass.
What were you doing?
I didn't do it.
What are you talking about?
You didn't do what?
What do you mean? Mind your own business.
Fine.
Is it raining outside?
Why is it raining cats and dogs?
Hey! Wait!
Why are you doing this!
-Where do you think you're touching?
-Give it to me!
Okay, okay! I'll give it to you!
Hey, wait!
What the hell is this?
Little kids don't need to know.
Gosh, all you know is dirty stuff.
Hey, all the other kids read this too.
You think I'm the only one?
All the kids in my class read it too.
Gosh!
What?
Guys look at this kind of stuff
with their friends all the time!
Why are you making a big fuss?
How could you read such a book
with your friends?
-Disgusting.
-Disgusting? Dis--
Hey, then should I read it with my mom?
Anyway, you're such an animal.
How dare you
I'm going to go meet Taek.
Watch the house for me, okay?
Okay, don't worry.
We'll watch over your house well, right?
-Are you going to meet Taek?
-Yes!
He didn't take an umbrella with him.
What a dad's love!
He always goes to see him
with an umbrella on rainy days,
not knowing when he will finish.
I bet he'll be waiting a while
in front of the Association again.
He could just call him
and tell him to come out!
-How frustrating!
-I know!
Taxi!
Hello.
Can you take me
to the Korea Go-game Association?
Sure.
KOREA GO-GAME ASSOCIATION
Oh! Hello!
Shall I get Master Choi Taek for you?
He's inside.
Or you can go inside if you'd like.
No, that's fine.
I like watching the rain.
-It's fine.
-Oh, I see.
Then
Goodbye.
Those gloves are so pretty, right?
Pink looks good on me, too.
They're pretty
because Lee Mi-yeon wore them.
You're so mean.
-Did I ask you to buy them for me?
-Did I ever say I'd buy them?
-Whatever. I'm going to ask Taek.
-Why would he?
-Because he's my Secret Santa.
-He is?
Is it you, then? It's you, right?
No, I'm not.
If it isn't you, it must be Taek.
Please, I hope Taek is my Secret Santa.
Who knows
Dad, when did you get here?
Not too long ago.
Let's go. It's cold.
GUARANTEED SALES
You're going to Busan tomorrow
I'm worried because it's raining so much.
The roads will be slippery.
It'll be fine.
The final match is on Christmas Eve.
Your birthday
I think I'll get home really late.
I'm sorry.
I'm too old to celebrate my birthday.
Just worry about yourself.
Don't worry about me.
-Even so is there anything you want?
-No, nothing.
Oh
you have that thing
with reporter Park tomorrow, right?
Right you have the shoot
tomorrow, right?
Sorry. Reporter Park requested it,
so I couldn't refuse.
It's okay. It's reporter Park's request.
She's the president of your fan club,
so I should do that much.
If she bothers you too much,
call me at the hotel.
Since I'm close to her,
I can say something to her.
No, it's fine.
She's always helping us out.
It's fine.
Okay. Looks good.
Don't be nervous. Just answer
reporter Park's questions naturally.
What are you worried about?
I'll edit it well, so don't worry.
Okay, thank you.
I'm a poor talker.
I'll only pick out the good parts to use.
Shall we get started?
Are you ready?
Yes.
First, we'll start
with 6-dan Choi Taek's childhood.
Look. Kia will win this game for sure.
An Kyung-soo, Yoo Jae-ha,
and Jung Duk-hwan!
When these three meet,
nobody can beat them.
I bet Samsung Electric will win.
Joon Ji-eun, Kim Hyun-joon,
and Oh Se-hoon.
They have a bunch of skilled guys.
You damn bastard
Oh, right. I totally forgot.
They have a brand new player, Heo Jae!
Kim Hyun-joon can get 50 points
on his own.
Hey, he stood around doing nothing!
Look! Heo Jae got over 51 points!
Gosh, you two are exactly the same.
Bo-ra, have some oysters.
-Your grandma sent these.
-I don't want any.
Don't have any.
There's not enough to go around, anyway.
You're already 20 years old
and you're still so damn picky with food?
Hurry up and eat!
Your grandmother sent these!
Hello?
Who's this? It's our Taek!
Wow, our Deok-sun is such a lady
only for Taek. I wonder what happened.
Deok-sun's friends are all nice
when it comes to Taek.
They protect him
because he's our national treasure.
Hello, fans from all over the country!
-Dad, the match is starting.
-Yes.
Deok-sun, I wanted to ask you something.
Sure! What is it?
Hey! Turn that down! I can't hear!
Um my dad's birthday is the 24th.
Yes, Taek?
What should I buy as a gift?
A gift?
Yes, a gift.
What should I buy as a gift?
Hey, how could you just ask me
something like that up front?
Oh is that right?
I thought it'd be okay if you knew.
No-eul, I think Taek has me!
My Secret Santa is Taek! Yes!
Oh, really? Wow.
Hey! I told you to turn it down!
I'm going to kill you! Lower the volume!
I can't hear him!
It's my first time buying a present,
so I don't know what to get.
What should I buy my dad?
I have some time
before the match tomorrow,
so I was going to go
to the department store.
What should I buy?
Um gloves!
Gloves?
Oh that's a good idea.
But what kind of gloves?
I don't know about such things.
Pink gloves!
Pink gloves are so pretty!
Pink gloves? Do you think that'll be okay?
Of course it is!
I don't think you know,
but pink gloves are in style!
Kim Hyun-joon! Shoot!
-You want to die?
-Shoot! Tie match!
I told you, I can't hear!
All right! Kim Hyun-joon!
My dad will like it, right?
My dad and I have never exchanged gifts,
so I'm not even sure how to give him
the present after I buy one.
Hello?
Okay, Deok-sun. Thanks.
I'll see you on Christmas Day.
What? On Christmas Day?
When are you coming back?
The match is on the 24th.
The match takes place in Busan,
so I probably will be home after 11:00.
Okay, I'll wait for you.
Don't. What for?
Because I want to!
Then I'll drop by to see you.
Don't fall asleep and wait for me.
Okay!
Good luck on your match!
Be careful not to catch a cold!
Bye!
Dad! I'm getting gloves!
What gloves?
Nothing. Taek is getting me some.
This kimchi soup is great.
Mom, more soup please!
Sure.
So he was a quiet kid
even when he was younger?
Yes. He was a quiet and gentle kid
ever since he was young.
He's never nagged,
asking you to buy something for him?
That's right.
-He matured fast, so
-I see.
Since Choi Taek is such a genius,
I'm sure his conception dream was unique.
What was his conception dream?
Um, well
I don't quite remember.
Mom, I'm going to the study room!
Oh, hello, ma'am.
-Sun-woo. Are you going to study?
-Yes.
How come? It's Sunday. Just study at home!
I'll make you something delicious!
It's okay. I'll be back in the evening.
Don't do stuff like this
when your wrist is hurt!
Please go see a doctor already!
It's okay if I open it slowly.
-Gosh, Mom!
-Okay fine.
Stop your nagging.
What about Jin-ju?
Where did she go?
She must've gone to buy that sugar candy!
Jung-bong's dad gave her
100 won just now.
He gave her a lot
Can you go get her?
She won't listen to me.
-Okay, I'll get going.
-Okay.
-Goodbye!
-Okay, bye!
You raised such a good son.
He opens the jar for you
because your wrist hurts.
You don't need to worry
about Sun-woo at all.
He does everything he needs to do
and takes good care of his sister.
How can you marry him off?
Don't say that!
I'm about to tear up already!
You made rice cakes?
Yes. I have way too much rice at home.
-Let's eat!
-Wow, it looks delicious!
I'll make you a yummy one, okay?
I'm taking Jin-ju, guys.
Jin-ju. Is that yummy?
I think there's something
you promised me, though.
Jin-ju.
Only have that sugar candy once a week.
Only on the days the Children's Class
Story airs, okay? You promised me.
Go and brush your teeth
with your Dooly toothbrush.
Then, I'll buy you ice cream
in the evening.
Mom, I'm really going now.
Why the umbrella?
Is it raining outside?
It might rain later in the evening.
I'm bringing it just in case.
-Goodbye!
-Okay!
Study hard, my son!
Where else would you find
a son like him?
How does one have a child like him?
He's just like his father.
He did everything by the book.
Oh yeah.
Is Moo-sung's interview over?
We should've gone to watch.
He barely speaks
I'm sure he's all like, "Uh huh huh."
The conception dream
I don't quite remember.
I see.
What did he grab at his doljabi?
I don't quite remember that, either.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
We want to see what his fortune
for the new year will be.
When's his birthday?
-October 8th, 1971.
-What about the time?
Was it the morning?
Afternoon?
I'm not quite sure. I'm sorry.
That's fine! Dads usually don't know
these things, anyway.
Then about Choi Taek, 6-dan
shall we talk about his habits?
Is he usually slow at home as well?
We heard from his colleagues
at the Association that he's
very slow and often comes late.
I'm not saying that's bad but
Oh! It's really raining!
It's so much better than cold weather.
Rain! Fall down!
Oh no! My sauces!
I left the lids off!
I must be out of my mind! My laundry!
Gosh!
What do I do?
Gosh!
It seems Choi Taek really takes after you.
Of course, I'm sure
that was only made possible
because you raised him
with love and care.
You're really amazing!
I'm sure raising him alone was not easy.
When was the most difficult moment
raising him?
I've never had such a moment.
He's very quiet and well-behaved,
so he's never once made me upset.
He's a kind son.
And finally, any last words for your son?
Well, I'd like for him to be healthy
and well
Health is the most important thing.
Well I'd just like to say,
"Don't get sick" and "Be healthy."
Tell him that you love him, just once!
Oh, no
Just once, please?
No
I'm not good at saying those things
Please, just once!
Well
I don't really say things like that, so
I'm sorry.
Reporter Park,
why are you doing this to me?
He must've completely forgotten!
He left the door wide open
where did he go?
Excuse me, Moo-sung.
Did something happen?
I didn't even realize that you came.
-Hey, Dong-ryong.
-Huh?
Go home and sleep.
You've been sleeping here for ten hours.
I feel more at ease here.
The dean is at home. It's Sunday.
Go ahead. I'm going home later.
Gosh.
It's raining outside, right?
Yes, I think so.
I love the sound of rain.
I like getting rained on.
Lies.
Why would I lie?
I really do like getting rained on.
I'll get going.
Hey, Sun-woo!
Hey!
I'll come pick up my umbrella tomorrow!
See you tomorrow!
BONGHWANGDANG
You're not even that good at drinking.
What? Did you misspeak
during the interview today?
What is it?
What happened that you feel so grumpy?
Sun-young.
Yes?
Do you still remember the conception dream
you had when you had Sun-woo?
Of course! I could dream the same dream
tonight if I wanted to.
A dragon was flying up
in the middle of a waterfall
but when it saw me, it turned its head.
It had a magic pearl about this big
and it threw it onto my skirt
before disappearing up the waterfall.
What about the time
that Sun-woo was born?
-I'm sure you definitely--
-4:57 a.m.
Around the time to feed the pigs.
I was pleading with him to be born
before 5:00 a.m.
And then, he popped out
exactly three minutes beforehand!
He was a good son
from the time he was born.
But why do you ask?
Why are you asking that
out of the blue?
Why? Did Taek ask?
No.
The reporter asked me today.
About what his conception dream was
and what time he was born.
There's no way I'd know.
I couldn't remember at all,
so I couldn't answer.
I wanted to crawl somewhere and hide.
I feel so bad for my Taek.
I feel so apologetic toward my child.
Gosh.
Dads usually don't really know
those things!
What kind of father would remember
all that?
If only his mom were here
she would've remembered everything.
If his mom were alive she'd know
what her conception dream was
and what time he was born
or what he wore on his first day
of elementary school
Just like you.
Dads are so useless.
If only his mom had been
the one to live instead of me
Taek would've received so much love
like the other kids
and he would've worn nice clothes
every season.
He would've eaten a lot of delicious food.
And when he's sick
his mom could've held him tight
Why did I have to be the one to live on?
There's nothing I can say.
There's nobody else like you
on this planet.
You make him a warm meal every morning.
When it rains, you stand and wait
for Taek outside of the Association.
You've never even watched TV properly
because you were afraid of disturbing him.
Taek is aware of all of these things.
He's such a thoughtful kid
because he knows
how much his dad loves and cherishes him.
He's aware of it all!
What good is it,
whether he knows or not?
It's because I feel so bad for my child.
I feel so bad for my child
CHRISTMAS EVE D-2
ONE DAY BEFORE
THE END OF SECRET SANTA
You're going to freeze to death like that.
A jean skirt in the middle of the winter?
You gave up on studying, didn't you?
I'm going to start in January.
Mind your own business.
As if.
Deok-sun! Hurry and come out!
Are you going to be late
on the last day before winter break?
Okay!
-You're still here?
-Yes.
I overslept.
Let's go.
Hey, aren't you cold?
What are you doing? It's winter.
I'm going to Apgujeong with my friends
after school today.
I have to dress up at least.
What if you get sick?
And if you go to Gangnam today,
you'll get trampled to death.
Why not just stay home?
Why not mind your own business?
I mean
I'm just saying.
How about we watch a video
with the gang tonight at Taek's?
No, I already promised Maggie and Joey.
Oh, hello! You guys haven't left yet?
Jerk.
Hey.
Everyone else but us is a couple.
What's with us?
I'm not even surprised.
Hey.
Call your boyfriend or something.
Ask him to buy us burgers or something.
I can't believe you!
Hey. She says he's not her boyfriend.
-Apparently he likes someone else.
-Really?
-Really? Oh, wow.
-Hey!
Hey, then call that other guy
who was next to him instead.
Yes! It's so sad with just us girls here.
-Let's call him over and play together.
-Who?
Call the Go-game player!
Choi Taek. I'll only look at him.
He went to Busan.
Won't be back until tomorrow.
Should I call Dong-ryong?
You know, the one with the glasses.
Forget him. Oh! Tell him to come!
The tall and skinny kid with narrow eyes.
Who?
Oh, the one who was
next to the Student President?
-The scary looking one?
-You mean Jung-hwan?
Kim Jung-pal?
Tell him to come.
It'd be better than us eating alone.
He looked rich too,
so tell him to buy us some burgers.
-He definitely won't come.
-Why not?
I'll thank him if he doesn't curse.
He has a nasty temper!
But still try calling him!
Yes, he might actually come!
I thought he was your friend!
I don't want to.
He'll give me so much crap.
Hey.
You can't even make a phone call
for a friend?
Is that the kind of relationship we have?
-Mom, I'm going to the city for a bit.
-To hang out?
No, to buy something.
Will you be late?
I made the crab stew you like for dinner.
No, I'll be back soon.
Let's eat dinner together.
Are you going somewhere, Jin-ju?
Do you have dinner plans
with someone today?
I'll take Jin-ju with me.
Jin-ju, do you love me or not?
I love you.
Mom, I'll be back!
Oh, my babies
Hello.
Oh, Sun-woo!
Where are you going, Jin-ju?
Are you going on a date
with your brother?
-You have to answer "Yes."
-Yes.
Where's Jung-hwan, though?
Excuse me?
You're not going with Jung-hwan?
He just dressed up and left too.
Hey why are you here?
What? You told me to come.
Order! What do you want to eat?
I want the Filet-o-Fish
french fries
and a Coke.
Me too.
Um what did she order, exactly?
It's hard to understand, isn't it?
A Filet-o-Fish, french fries, and a Coke.
We can get a combo, right?
It's a bit expensive, though.
Sure. Go ahead.
It's fine.
What will you have?
Oh.
I want the Double Burger,
-a large Coke, fries, and ice cream.
-You're doing it again!
Ordering the whole menu!
You can't even finish it all,
and you're being greedy.
Eat first, and then order more.
You always think with your stomach,
not your brain.
You have no sense of self-control.
Just get the burger and the Coke, okay?
I'm going to the bathroom.
-Um, excuse me
-Yes?
You seem to be quite close
with Deok-sun.
You came here right away
after she called you.
Um, it's not that
I thought she was by herself.
I'll go and order.
Okay.
Wow. I think it's for real this time.
Totally!
Dance, dance performer
Don't stop the music
-Hurry! Let's go!
-What is it?
-Hurry!
-What's going on?
-Did something huge happen?
-Yes!
Dance, dance!
What's going on?
The weather forecast changed.
They say it won't snow tomorrow
or the day after.
What's the big fuss?
The snowman. What are we going to do
about the snowman?
Oh, yeah
Does anyone have any ideas?
We already made a promise to her
that we'd get her a snowman.
Gosh, what do we do?
Okay. Make any suggestion
that comes to mind.
Even if it's kind of silly,
just say it anyway.
Go ahead.
Okay, how about this?
Put Jin-ju to sleep
on the night of the 24th
and then wake her up
on the morning of the 26th.
See, then there's no need
to make a snowman.
Because there won't be a 25th.
Cut it out.
We can tell Jin-ju
"Jin-ju the snowman melted
while you were sleeping!"
"Why didn't you wake up?" Ouch!
I'm sorry.
I've never heard such a silly idea
in my life.
This is how people kill each other.
Oh! Can't we just make her
any kind of snowman?
We can make it with paper
or the stuffing from our blankets!
Sorry I'm late!
It's not like your ice store has
any business now. Why are you always late?
-What were you doing?
-I had to make a delivery.
Oh!
That's right! Ice!
We can make a snowman with ice!
Oh, my! You're right!
We can use ice!
Instead, putting her to sleep
on the 24th is a better--
Ice is a great idea!
We can carve it into a snowman!
Moo-sung has such skilled hands!
It's possible, right?
Yes.
I've never made one before,
but I don't think it'll be difficult.
That's great!
Can you spare us some ice from your store?
I'm sure nobody is buying ice, anyway.
-Or give it to us for cheap, at least.
-No, it's fine!
Nobody is buying much, anyway.
I'll put two containers of it
out front by tomorrow.
Thank you!
Okay, then. Let's all meet here tomorrow.
Have a good dinner, everyone.
And Merry Christmas in advance!
Let's conclude our meeting!
Gosh, we have meetings every day!
Seriously!
-How about my idea?
-Stop it!
What have you been thinking?
Did you leave something behind?
Why are you acting so serious?
Did you cause trouble?
Hey, Jung-pal.
What?
You
are my Secret Santa, right?
How strange.
Taek is my Secret Santa, though.
Why am I your Secret Santa?
You only came to Gangnam
because you had me for Secret Santa!
Are you out of your mind?
I'm not that stupid.
I'm not your Secret Santa.
Whatever.
I have Taek for Secret Santa.
Want me to show you the slip?
Then why did you come today?
What?
Are you really out of your mind?
Use this head of yours and give it
some serious thought about why I came.
Got it?
Seriously! What's with him?
What?
Hello!
This is a festival celebrating the youth,
romance, and dreams of young people!
This is MBC's 1988 Campus Music Festival!
Should we bet on who the winner will be?
Sure!
Sounds good. How much should we bet?
1000 won per person.
Each person will put in 1000 won,
winner takes all.
You could totally be an MC!
Jung-bong.
Yes?
Don't try to start a bet
and just watch quietly.
Wow! I didn't know Moo-sung was
so skilled with his hands!
Wow it's a masterpiece!
You could close your jewelry store
and become a sculptor!
He used to carve people's personal seals!
He's a real artisan!
But he doesn't have a nose,
a mouth, or eyes.
Should we use the black stones
or the white stones?
-Black stones!
-I like the white stones!
It's a mismatch.
-What are you doing?
-Don't do it! It'll melt!
With the temperature this low?
No way it'll melt. Don't worry. It's fine.
Jin-ju will be so happy tomorrow morning!
She'll totally believe
that Santa brought this for her!
Gosh! Look how much we went through
for that little girl!
Anyway, it's cold out and it's late.
So why not have a drink?
Then we'll stay at Sun-woo's
and watch some TV!
How about we have a drink, too?
It's so cold! Let's go already
instead of saying the obvious!
Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Yes, let's go!
I guess Dong-ryong's dad has something
to take care of.
Let's go inside.
-Have a good night.
-Bye.
-I'm calling Number 11!
-Me too! Number 11!
There are still five teams left.
It'll be Number 11 for sure.
He has personality!
I think it'll be Number three,
Jeon Soo-kyung!
Wow I was thinking the same thing.
Doesn't it seem a bit boring this year?
Nobody has left an impact on me.
All songs are like that
when you hear them the first time.
There's no song that impresses you
on the first listen!
I choose Number one.
Are you Beethoven or something?
You actually remember the song?
Yes. I think she was pretty.
Gosh.
What?
Oh, isn't it your birthday today?
Oh yeah, it really is.
Then we have to do a special
congratulatory toast for you!
Here! Cheers!
My wife was making
seaweed soup this morning.
It's your birthday today,
you're not having a party with your son?
We're too old for a party.
Gosh. Just looking at the number
of candles on the cake
on my birthday gets me all depressed.
That's right.
After I passed 40 years old,
I stopped looking forward to my birthday.
I just get depressed.
What are we supposed to do though?
We have to watch our kids grow up.
You're drinking a lot today.
Is something wrong?
No.
When is Taek coming home?
It's your birthday, after all.
It'd be nice to have dinner together.
He's on his way back from Busan.
I got a call from him this morning.
Taek is such a busy boy
he doesn't have time for that stuff.
Isn't that right?
The fact that he grew up so well is
a gift to you already, isn't it?
Yes, I'm so thankful even for just that.
I was only able to give him
half the love, raising him alone.
Even so, he grew up so well.
That's not true. You loved him
twice as much on behalf of his mom.
Don't talk like that.
If Taek were to hear that,
he might burst into tears.
He's just being humble!
What good would ten parents be?
They couldn't compare to you
when it comes to loving your child.
He's just being humble.
Here! Let's make a toast!
Pour me a glass too.
Here. Cheers!
What's with this mood,
when it's Christmas today?
I'll sing a song!
Don't you dare!
Is Jin-ju sleeping?
She was playing so much with her brother
and now she's fast asleep.
Jin-ju is so lucky.
The entire neighborhood came out
to prepare her a gift.
She's blessed!
She'll never forget
this Christmas present, right?
She'll forget about it by next year.
Kids don't remember things.
Why not?
When I was young, there wasn't
even such a thing as Christmas.
My mom spent all night before my birthday
making a doll out of scraps of cloth.
We had no money, so she used whatever
scraps of cloth were lying around.
And I still remember the day
that I saw that doll so clearly!
Of course! Jin-ju will forever remember
this Christmas gift.
Really?
Let's drink to that, then.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
It's so great to drink with you guys.
I still think it'll be Number 11.
-I think it'll be Number 14.
-Me too!
It's ambiguous, but
I think it'll be Number seven!
-As for me Number 15!
-Me too.
Don't copy me!
I'm not copying you!
This is a close game.
There's only one act left.
MBC's 1988 Campus Music Festival!
Gosh.
There's only one act left.
The last act!
Hey!
Number 16 from Seoul, it's Endless Orbit!
Group Endless Orbit,
you're the last performer for tonight.
What were you thinking
while you were waiting?
I wasn't thinking much,
but I wanted to go home and see my mom.
Okay, then presenting Number 16,
Endless Orbit from Seoul!
Their song is called "To That Person"!
ENDLESS ORBI
TITLE "TO THAT PERSON"
-Number 16!
-No, I choose Number 16!
-No, me!
-Me!
-I called it first!
-No, I did!
16! I'm calling Number 16!
-I called it first!
-No, me!
-No, I called it first!
-No!
TO THAT PERSON WHO HAS FOUND
THEIR WAY AND HAS LEF
ENDLESS ORBI
Bo-ra! It's me, Sun-woo.
Can I see you for a bit?
Why did you call me out?
-What is this?
-A gift.
Hey, I told you not to bother me.
You're making me feel uncomfortable.
Bo-ra.
I'm your Secret Santa.
We're supposed to exchange gifts today.
I'll get going, then.
Oh.
Merry Christmas!
Taek!
Hee-dong!
Hey, there's only 30 minutes left.
What?
There's only 30 minutes left
until today is over!
It really is 11:30 p.m. already.
Deok-sun, I'll get going.
Hey, Choi Taek!
What about the gloves?
I bought them.
Thanks to you,
I was able to pick the right ones.
I think my dad will love them.
Thank you so much.
Dad.
Did you drink?
Please, go inside and sleep.
You're home, my son?
What about dinner?
I ate. It's late, after all.
Oh, yes.
Wash up and go to sleep.
You've worked hard, my son.
Dad.
Here.
What is this?
A birthday present for you.
Happy Birthday, Dad.
Open it.
It's your birthday,
but I couldn't have dinner with you.
I'm sorry.
Dad
You know that I love you so much, right?
Dad
What's wrong?
When did my son grow up so much?
You're so thoughtful,
taking care of your dad's birthday.
You've really grown up.
You're all grown up, my son.
My kind and smart son
I, too
Taek
Gosh
I
only have you, Taek.
Deok-sun, what are you doing here?
Did you fight with Bo-ra again?
No-eul
I guess nobody picked my name.
I don't even have a Secret Santa.
I guess I'm someone
who doesn't even deserve to be loved.
Isn't Taek your Secret Santa?
I thought he was buying you gloves.
They weren't for me.
They were for his dad.
Wow.
-Should I just kill him?
-You can't!
He lost today. And just barely, too.
So don't cause him too much trouble
and just let it go.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't even remember
that we're doing Secret Santa.
He has no time to worry
about such things right now.
DEOK-SUN
Deok-sun.
I'm sorry. I totally forgot.
I'm really sorry.
About what?
Your Secret Santa was me.
Right? You are my Secret Santa, right?
Yes, it's me.
But I totally forgot about it.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
You have more important things
to worry about than this.
Also, I didn't have much interest
in Secret Santa anyway.
Everyone else did it,
so I was just curious. That's all.
It's okay.
What do you want as a gift?
I'll buy you anything you want.
No, it's okay.
Hurry and tell me.
I'll count to three.
One
Gloves!
Pink angora gloves.
Okay.
Got it.
I'll buy you the same ones as my dad's.
Hurry and go home. It's cold.
Okay. Good night.
You too.
It's a warm Christmas morning.
It's two degrees Celsius in Seoul
and four degrees in Gwangju and Jeonju.
Meanwhile, it's three degrees in Daejeon.
Gosh, I have a hangover.
I knew this would happen.
You drank so much yesterday!
Do you want some medicine?
No, it's fine.
I'll just drink this soup and bear it.
Anyway, where did the kids go?
They are sleeping in
since it's their vacation.
I thought today would be cold,
but it seems warm.
Yes, um
did you hear it raining last night
by any chance? I thought I did.
What rain? I didn't hear anything.
Last night,
there was rain in the Seoul area.
There was an abnormal amount of rain
Wow, you have good ears.
How did you manage to hear the rain
after drinking that much?
I'm very sensitive.
Still, rain is better than snow.
Everything cluttering the streets must've
been washed away, so it's great--
Oh, dear.
Gosh, where did it go? What do we do?
-What about Jin-ju?
-She's still sleeping.
She'll be very disappointed.
What do we do?
What else can we do?
We just have to get her
some snacks she likes.
Is there a problem?
Jin-ju asked for a snowman
as a Christmas gift,
so we spent all night making her one.
But it all melted.
It'd be difficult to remake it now, right?
What do we do?
I feel so bad for her.
She said she wanted a snowman?
Yes. Your sister said
she wanted a snowman for Christmas.
But it melted. What do we do now?
They sell those at Dooly Supermarket.
You can get it from Dooly Supermarket.
What are you talking about?
Jin-ju calls ice cream "snowmen."
Should I go buy some? How many?
Wow! A snowman!
It may be because of the sons
and daughters of this world
that the people of the world began
to have faith in religions.
It may be because of their parents
who wished for their happiness
and well-being above all else.
God, Buddha, Allah, and Santa must exist
for the sake of all of the moms and dads
in this world
as well as for their children.
Deok-sun, it's for you.
What is it?
A present.
What?
Oh, my!
When did he buy these?
The department stores are not
even open yet!
Is Taek still outside?
He didn't leave yet, right?
They are not from Taek.
They are from Jung-hwan.
He says they were your Christmas present.
He must be out of his mind.
I was at the age
when I no longer believed in Santa
or felt my heart flutter
because of Secret Santa.
I was at an age when a gift
that was secretly left behind
or secretly conveyed gentleness wasn't
enough to fulfill my expectations.
Excitement that would probably escape
up to the back of my throat
and choke me
if I were to try and suppress it.
Embarrassment that would probably make
my heart explode
if I were to admit to it.
I was dying to make it obvious,
but I didn't want to get caught.
That was the excitement we felt
back in 1988.
We were 18 years old back then.
You're here today.
Yes.
That's good. Reporter Park said
this is for you.
She said it's your Christmas gift.
It looked like a videotape.
Anyway, I'll get going.
Also, stay home and sleep
on days like today, okay?
Bye.
Master Choi Taek,
this is my Christmas gift to you.
I'm not sure if you'll like it,
but I secretly edited this all night,
so please enjoy it.
It's a special video that doesn't exist
anywhere else in the world.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas,
and I hope you have a great record
next year!
From Master Choi Taek's forever fan,
Park Ji-yoon.
Oh, no.
I'm not good at saying such things
Come on! Please, just once!
Well
I don't really say things like that, so
I'm sorry. Why are you doing this to me?
Then, I won't air this part.
Just consider it practice
and just say it once.
Without the camera.
At times like this, you're weird.
Why? It's because you two always seem
too cold.
Just say it to me once, as practice!
Say, "I love you" just once. Okay?
I can say that.
Exactly! What's so hard about it?
Go ahead and say it!
I love you, son.
See? That wasn't too hard.
One more time.
Just one more time.
I love you, my son.
See, you're so good at it.
You should say it to him more often!
I'm not that good at it,
but you kept asking me to
Time continues to pass.
That's why time eventually creates
farewells
and it always leaves people with regrets.
How nice would it be
if you said this to him all the time?
Anyway, you did great today!
Oh, the camera.
Thank you.
If you love someone,
you have to tell them now,
before your fleeting days become filled
with regrets.
In some ways, the biggest gift
that time leaves us with is
the memories we have of loving others.
That's why, before it's too late,
you have to shove embarrassment aside
and confess your love
to your loved ones.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
It wasn't you?
I'm going to tell Mom everything!
Mom
Fix your hair color first!
It wasn't me, Mom!
It really wasn't me!
If you like Sung Bo-ra,
you're out of your mind.
Hi, Bo-ra.
Say, "Hello."
Hello.
What are you doing?
I'll give you all of this.
I don't need it anymore.
If only it wasn't for that surgery
Jung-bong, its me.
Mom is so strong
but her son's body is so weak
REPLY 1988
Where did you go?
Somewhere in the countryside.
Dressed like this?
I feel like I'm going to freeze to death.
Why? Is something up?
What are you doing here?
I was waiting for you.
Me?
Why?
Because I have something to tell you.
Go ahead.
-I'm really going to say it.
-Yes, go ahead.
I like you, Bo-ra.
I said I like you.
I like you too.
You know that I'm not joking.
I'm being serious.
-I have a boyfriend.
-I know.
And I've never thought of you
as a man.
Yes, I know.
Why would you make me feel uncomfortable
by telling me such a thing?
Are you concerned because of me?
No.
How you feel about me is your own right.
But I've told you how I feel.
Yes, don't worry about me.
Of course I'm not going to!
Why would I?
How dare you mess with me, little kid.
Whatever. Stop it.
Hey, I'm tired. Bye.
I don't want to get involved
with you for this kind of thing.
Keep what happened tonight
between just the two of us, okay?
Let's take this to our graves, got it?
Thank you.
CHRISTMAS EVE D-7
Okay. We will now be starting
our first Secret Santa game.
Wow!
What are we doing?
Um Secret Santa.
Secret Santa.
-What the hell?
-What Secret Santa?
-Don't pretend you didn't hear.
-Why are we doing this?
Oh, Bo-ra.
What's up? Why did you call me?
You're here. Well
-Jerk.
-All right.
Since we're all here,
we'll officially begin the Secret Santa--
What?
-What the hell did you say?
-Bo-ra
Can you please speak a bit more quietly?
My heart is
So you called me here for this?
I'm damn busy!
Jung-bong,
I have to go to the Go-game Association.
Okay, Taek. This will be over soon.
Just wait a bit.
Why? I think it'll be fun.
-Jung-bong, continue!
-Thanks, No-eul.
Since everyone is busy,
I'll do this quickly.
I'd like everyone to take one each.
Yes, one each.
You'll be the Secret Santa
for whoever's name is on your paper.
You have exactly one week. So
by Christmas Eve, you have to be secretly
nice to the person whose name you have.
Of course, a present is a must.
Why does he want to do this
all of the sudden?
He's collecting LPs these days.
As for the present
you have to figure out
what your person would want for a present
and then give it to him or her
on the last day.
For your reference, as for me
If you're my Secret Santa,
I really want the Fourth Official
Campus Music Festival LP.
But I just have no means whatsoever
to obtain it for myself.
What should I do
He's collecting
the Campus Music Festival LPs,
and he has all but the fourth one.
You guys are rich though.
My mom said she'll kill him
if he buys one more.
He's not getting any allowance until his
exam results come out. He's broke.
All right, everyone. Let's focus.
You all know the rules, right?
Secret Santa is
like having a "secret friend."
So you can't tell anyone
who your person is.
Jung-bong! I'll buy you that LP.
I have you.
What?
-What? I have him, too.
-So do I.
KIM JUNG-BONG
Kim Jung-bong? What the hell this?
Oh, well
Give them to me.
Okay.
Okay, this was just a practice round.
The practice round is over.
I'm going to chop your hands off
if you keep messing around!
I'm leaving.
What is up with this childishness?
Even so, he took the time to prepare this.
Just pick a name and then go.
Gosh.
What a jerk.
I'll head out first. I'm sorry.
Let's let him go.
He's been here for a while already.
Sure. Bye, Taek.
-Bye, Master Choi.
-Bye.
-Bye, Taek.
-Bye.
What if people pick each other?
Then you can just be nice to each other.
It's like fate.
-Get married!
-Get married!
-Get married!
-What if you pick yourself?
That's also fate, so
-Get married!
-Get married!
-Get married!
-Get married!
No way that would happen.
There are so many people here.
We're done, right? I'm leaving, too.
Bo-ra, you have until Christmas Eve!
-You have a week!
-I told you, I'm not doing it!
Hey!
Hey, what are you doing?
What's with you?
What are you doing?
BO-RA
You're such a jerk!
SUN-WOO
What are you doing?
They're doing a neighborhood meeting.
I think it's almost over.
Let's go to Taek's place
and have some ramen.
I have something to tell you too.
Me?
What's the point of having the meeting?
They talk to each other every day.
I know, right?
They're deadly earnest about it.
I guess they're deciding
on something important.
Nothing?
If there's no other feedback, then
we'll decide on notebooks.
That's a good idea!
So let's end the meeting here!
-Let's go--
-Wait.
Then, the present for our kids
this year will be
notebooks!
Excuse me.
How about a notepad
instead of a notebook?
A notepad ouch!
I'm sorry. He's not well.
What's up with this nonsense
Whether it's a notebook or a notepad,
I'll buy it for all our kids!
All right. Let's end
our monthly neighborhood meeting.
-Nobody has anything else, correct?
-Yes.
Next month, we'll have the meeting
at his place.
-Okay.
-That's it!
That's it! It's finally over!
Gosh, why do we need to have
a meeting for three hours?
Excuse me.
-I have something to say.
-Gosh, Sun-young.
Let's please end it and go home, already!
Don't you see Moo-sung sleeping
over there?
Last year, which one of you told
Jin-ju that Santa doesn't exist?
Who was it?
Who blabbed to this innocent child
that there's no Santa?
Who do you think?
It was probably their eldest daughter.
ANIMAL COOKIE SE
ONE YEAR AGO
Give me one.
Just one.
No! Santa gave these to me!
Jin-ju. Your mom bought those.
There's no such thing as Santa.
I knew it.
She's always had such a temper.
I forgot.
Well
kids tend to forget things quickly.
We'll buy Jin-ju's Christmas present
this year.
Um please wake the kid up.
Tap her or something.
Jin-ju
Jin-ju.
Um Jin-ju!
What do you want from Santa this year?
I'll relay what you want to Santa.
What do you want?
There's no such thing as Santa.
There's no such thing
Want to watch a video after we eat?
Die Hard is out now.
I'm going to the study room.
I have to finish physics today.
But you're the one who decided that.
Just do it tomorrow.
I have to work on World History
and play with Jin-ju tomorrow.
Eat up.
At times like this, you're such a nerd.
What a mysterious bastard.
What? Why are you picking a fight again?
You like Bo-ra, right?
I happened to hear.
Really?
When?
On the day it snowed.
Behind my front door.
It's a secret.
Of course, bastard. I won't tell anyone.
I thought you liked Deok-sun for sure.
Why her, for sure?
-Deok-sun is prettier.
-What?
She's the prettiest among the ugly girls.
Are you saying she's pretty or ugly?
Of course I'm saying she's ugly!
The meeting must be over by now, right?
Kids will believe as long as there's
a present for them in the morning.
So buy Jin-ju a present
and put it next to her, okay?
Jin-ju!
What do you want for Christmas?
We'll buy it for you.
Go ahead and tell me. I'll buy it.
What do you want?
A snowman!
That's easy!
Oh, my Jin-ju wants a snowman?
What do we do?
That's something that's only possible
with Santa around.
Who else could buy you a snowman?
That's right!
There isn't a place that sells snowmen.
Only Santa could bring that for you!
Then, Jin-ju
For you, I'll put a special request
in to Santa so you can get a snowman!
Okay?
But, um that day
Jin-ju!
Jung-bong has steamed red bean buns.
Go ask him for one.
-Steamed red bean buns?
-Yes.
But what if it doesn't snow on that day?
-How do we make a snowman, then?
-Oh, no
I didn't think that far ahead.
It will snow.
It says it'll snow in the Seoul area
on the 23rd and the 24th!
We're saved, then!
There's nothing to worry about, then!
If it snows,
making a snowman is no big deal.
Then everything worked out fine, right?
Let's go now!
Gosh! If there's another meeting
back to back, I'll be dead.
Hey, Moo-sung! Wake up!
Wow that guy
I've never seen someone fall asleep
so easily at someone else's house.
It's because he wakes up so early
to feed Taek.
Anyway, let's meet up
on the night of Christmas Eve, okay?
Everyone should come out.
The more the merrier!
Sure! Since it's vacation,
all I have is time!
All right, I'll get going, then!
-Okay!
-Bye!
-Be careful on the way home.
-Bye!
-Does your wrist hurt again?
-Yes.
I guess winter is coming.
It always hurts around this time.
Let's eat before you go.
Want to make some Kimchi noodles?
Your wrist hurts, so don't bother.
How about some Korean style Chinese food?
I want Jjamppong.
I want Jjajangmyun with red pepper flakes!
Moo-sung, where are you going?
Oh I have to go and make dinner.
Gosh, you can just eat here!
That's right! Have some Jjajangmyun.
Taek went to Go-game association.
Even so what if he doesn't eat dinner
before he comes home?
Then we can make him dinner!
It's okay for him to miss just one meal!
If I were to be born again,
I'd want to be reborn as Moo-sung's son.
You're seriously the best
when it comes to taking care of your kid.
The moms here should learn from you.
No, that's not true. I don't do much.
Come on. If you aren't doing much,
my wife literally does nothing!
Compared to you,
she does nothing but eat!
What did you just say?
Hurry up and beg for her forgiveness!
I'm just saying.
Did I say that you were really like that?
You know how I feel.
Hurry up and apologize!
Why do I need to apologize over something
like this? Instead of an apology
I'll give you a "B"-pology.
Dammit! You better stop
with your stupid nonsense jokes!
What? A "B"-pology is worth
more than just an "A"-pology!
"B" comes after "A," so it's worth more!
Gosh! That makes no sense!
You're a pain in my ass!
I'm going to beat you to death!
-Okay, "C"-pology, then! "D"-pology?
-"D"-pology my ass!
-Hey!
-Mi-ran, just let him go.
Deok-sun, it's me.
We're going to order Jjajangmyun.
You guys order something, too!
You like it?
Ask at the house in front
for your payment.
-Will do. Enjoy your meal!
-Thank you.
Dong-ryong.
How did you know?
I heard the motorcycle.
-What about the others?
-They're studying. Those bastards.
DO NOT SLEEP STUDY ROOM
Who did you get for Secret Santa?
Don't know. Don't care.
Eat up, Jung-bong.
How did this is fate!
Oh!
-No-eul, wait.
-Okay.
Jung-bong, are you by any chance--
You have to follow the rules.
You two picked each other, didn't you?
You two look good together. Get married.
-Get married.
-Get married.
Wow.
No-eul.
Lately, I don't have much money.
Otherwise, I would have bought you
a bunch of bananas.
No, you don't need to.
Instead can I
Go ahead.
If it's something I can do for you,
anything is fine.
You said you're getting me
that LP I want so bad, so
there's nothing
I wouldn't want to do for you.
If there's anything in this room
that you want,
I'll give you anything.
Do you, by any chance, have Hwang Sa?
Hwang Sa?
You mean Spring's unwelcome guest?
In my room?
No!
You know, A Charming Adolescence.
Oh, that novel.
You have it, right?
I don't have it myself,
but someone I know does.
If you want it, I can get it for you.
Kim Jung-bong!
SUNG DEOK-SUN
JUNG-HWAN
How's Lee Mi-yeon so pretty
even when she lives in a shanty town?
-Taek isn't back yet?
-Hey, knock before barging in!
Knock, my ass.
What were you doing?
I didn't do it.
What are you talking about?
You didn't do what?
What do you mean? Mind your own business.
Fine.
Is it raining outside?
Why is it raining cats and dogs?
Hey! Wait!
Why are you doing this!
-Where do you think you're touching?
-Give it to me!
Okay, okay! I'll give it to you!
Hey, wait!
What the hell is this?
Little kids don't need to know.
Gosh, all you know is dirty stuff.
Hey, all the other kids read this too.
You think I'm the only one?
All the kids in my class read it too.
Gosh!
What?
Guys look at this kind of stuff
with their friends all the time!
Why are you making a big fuss?
How could you read such a book
with your friends?
-Disgusting.
-Disgusting? Dis--
Hey, then should I read it with my mom?
Anyway, you're such an animal.
How dare you
I'm going to go meet Taek.
Watch the house for me, okay?
Okay, don't worry.
We'll watch over your house well, right?
-Are you going to meet Taek?
-Yes!
He didn't take an umbrella with him.
What a dad's love!
He always goes to see him
with an umbrella on rainy days,
not knowing when he will finish.
I bet he'll be waiting a while
in front of the Association again.
He could just call him
and tell him to come out!
-How frustrating!
-I know!
Taxi!
Hello.
Can you take me
to the Korea Go-game Association?
Sure.
KOREA GO-GAME ASSOCIATION
Oh! Hello!
Shall I get Master Choi Taek for you?
He's inside.
Or you can go inside if you'd like.
No, that's fine.
I like watching the rain.
-It's fine.
-Oh, I see.
Then
Goodbye.
Those gloves are so pretty, right?
Pink looks good on me, too.
They're pretty
because Lee Mi-yeon wore them.
You're so mean.
-Did I ask you to buy them for me?
-Did I ever say I'd buy them?
-Whatever. I'm going to ask Taek.
-Why would he?
-Because he's my Secret Santa.
-He is?
Is it you, then? It's you, right?
No, I'm not.
If it isn't you, it must be Taek.
Please, I hope Taek is my Secret Santa.
Who knows
Dad, when did you get here?
Not too long ago.
Let's go. It's cold.
GUARANTEED SALES
You're going to Busan tomorrow
I'm worried because it's raining so much.
The roads will be slippery.
It'll be fine.
The final match is on Christmas Eve.
Your birthday
I think I'll get home really late.
I'm sorry.
I'm too old to celebrate my birthday.
Just worry about yourself.
Don't worry about me.
-Even so is there anything you want?
-No, nothing.
Oh
you have that thing
with reporter Park tomorrow, right?
Right you have the shoot
tomorrow, right?
Sorry. Reporter Park requested it,
so I couldn't refuse.
It's okay. It's reporter Park's request.
She's the president of your fan club,
so I should do that much.
If she bothers you too much,
call me at the hotel.
Since I'm close to her,
I can say something to her.
No, it's fine.
She's always helping us out.
It's fine.
Okay. Looks good.
Don't be nervous. Just answer
reporter Park's questions naturally.
What are you worried about?
I'll edit it well, so don't worry.
Okay, thank you.
I'm a poor talker.
I'll only pick out the good parts to use.
Shall we get started?
Are you ready?
Yes.
First, we'll start
with 6-dan Choi Taek's childhood.
Look. Kia will win this game for sure.
An Kyung-soo, Yoo Jae-ha,
and Jung Duk-hwan!
When these three meet,
nobody can beat them.
I bet Samsung Electric will win.
Joon Ji-eun, Kim Hyun-joon,
and Oh Se-hoon.
They have a bunch of skilled guys.
You damn bastard
Oh, right. I totally forgot.
They have a brand new player, Heo Jae!
Kim Hyun-joon can get 50 points
on his own.
Hey, he stood around doing nothing!
Look! Heo Jae got over 51 points!
Gosh, you two are exactly the same.
Bo-ra, have some oysters.
-Your grandma sent these.
-I don't want any.
Don't have any.
There's not enough to go around, anyway.
You're already 20 years old
and you're still so damn picky with food?
Hurry up and eat!
Your grandmother sent these!
Hello?
Who's this? It's our Taek!
Wow, our Deok-sun is such a lady
only for Taek. I wonder what happened.
Deok-sun's friends are all nice
when it comes to Taek.
They protect him
because he's our national treasure.
Hello, fans from all over the country!
-Dad, the match is starting.
-Yes.
Deok-sun, I wanted to ask you something.
Sure! What is it?
Hey! Turn that down! I can't hear!
Um my dad's birthday is the 24th.
Yes, Taek?
What should I buy as a gift?
A gift?
Yes, a gift.
What should I buy as a gift?
Hey, how could you just ask me
something like that up front?
Oh is that right?
I thought it'd be okay if you knew.
No-eul, I think Taek has me!
My Secret Santa is Taek! Yes!
Oh, really? Wow.
Hey! I told you to turn it down!
I'm going to kill you! Lower the volume!
I can't hear him!
It's my first time buying a present,
so I don't know what to get.
What should I buy my dad?
I have some time
before the match tomorrow,
so I was going to go
to the department store.
What should I buy?
Um gloves!
Gloves?
Oh that's a good idea.
But what kind of gloves?
I don't know about such things.
Pink gloves!
Pink gloves are so pretty!
Pink gloves? Do you think that'll be okay?
Of course it is!
I don't think you know,
but pink gloves are in style!
Kim Hyun-joon! Shoot!
-You want to die?
-Shoot! Tie match!
I told you, I can't hear!
All right! Kim Hyun-joon!
My dad will like it, right?
My dad and I have never exchanged gifts,
so I'm not even sure how to give him
the present after I buy one.
Hello?
Okay, Deok-sun. Thanks.
I'll see you on Christmas Day.
What? On Christmas Day?
When are you coming back?
The match is on the 24th.
The match takes place in Busan,
so I probably will be home after 11:00.
Okay, I'll wait for you.
Don't. What for?
Because I want to!
Then I'll drop by to see you.
Don't fall asleep and wait for me.
Okay!
Good luck on your match!
Be careful not to catch a cold!
Bye!
Dad! I'm getting gloves!
What gloves?
Nothing. Taek is getting me some.
This kimchi soup is great.
Mom, more soup please!
Sure.
So he was a quiet kid
even when he was younger?
Yes. He was a quiet and gentle kid
ever since he was young.
He's never nagged,
asking you to buy something for him?
That's right.
-He matured fast, so
-I see.
Since Choi Taek is such a genius,
I'm sure his conception dream was unique.
What was his conception dream?
Um, well
I don't quite remember.
Mom, I'm going to the study room!
Oh, hello, ma'am.
-Sun-woo. Are you going to study?
-Yes.
How come? It's Sunday. Just study at home!
I'll make you something delicious!
It's okay. I'll be back in the evening.
Don't do stuff like this
when your wrist is hurt!
Please go see a doctor already!
It's okay if I open it slowly.
-Gosh, Mom!
-Okay fine.
Stop your nagging.
What about Jin-ju?
Where did she go?
She must've gone to buy that sugar candy!
Jung-bong's dad gave her
100 won just now.
He gave her a lot
Can you go get her?
She won't listen to me.
-Okay, I'll get going.
-Okay.
-Goodbye!
-Okay, bye!
You raised such a good son.
He opens the jar for you
because your wrist hurts.
You don't need to worry
about Sun-woo at all.
He does everything he needs to do
and takes good care of his sister.
How can you marry him off?
Don't say that!
I'm about to tear up already!
You made rice cakes?
Yes. I have way too much rice at home.
-Let's eat!
-Wow, it looks delicious!
I'll make you a yummy one, okay?
I'm taking Jin-ju, guys.
Jin-ju. Is that yummy?
I think there's something
you promised me, though.
Jin-ju.
Only have that sugar candy once a week.
Only on the days the Children's Class
Story airs, okay? You promised me.
Go and brush your teeth
with your Dooly toothbrush.
Then, I'll buy you ice cream
in the evening.
Mom, I'm really going now.
Why the umbrella?
Is it raining outside?
It might rain later in the evening.
I'm bringing it just in case.
-Goodbye!
-Okay!
Study hard, my son!
Where else would you find
a son like him?
How does one have a child like him?
He's just like his father.
He did everything by the book.
Oh yeah.
Is Moo-sung's interview over?
We should've gone to watch.
He barely speaks
I'm sure he's all like, "Uh huh huh."
The conception dream
I don't quite remember.
I see.
What did he grab at his doljabi?
I don't quite remember that, either.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
We want to see what his fortune
for the new year will be.
When's his birthday?
-October 8th, 1971.
-What about the time?
Was it the morning?
Afternoon?
I'm not quite sure. I'm sorry.
That's fine! Dads usually don't know
these things, anyway.
Then about Choi Taek, 6-dan
shall we talk about his habits?
Is he usually slow at home as well?
We heard from his colleagues
at the Association that he's
very slow and often comes late.
I'm not saying that's bad but
Oh! It's really raining!
It's so much better than cold weather.
Rain! Fall down!
Oh no! My sauces!
I left the lids off!
I must be out of my mind! My laundry!
Gosh!
What do I do?
Gosh!
It seems Choi Taek really takes after you.
Of course, I'm sure
that was only made possible
because you raised him
with love and care.
You're really amazing!
I'm sure raising him alone was not easy.
When was the most difficult moment
raising him?
I've never had such a moment.
He's very quiet and well-behaved,
so he's never once made me upset.
He's a kind son.
And finally, any last words for your son?
Well, I'd like for him to be healthy
and well
Health is the most important thing.
Well I'd just like to say,
"Don't get sick" and "Be healthy."
Tell him that you love him, just once!
Oh, no
Just once, please?
No
I'm not good at saying those things
Please, just once!
Well
I don't really say things like that, so
I'm sorry.
Reporter Park,
why are you doing this to me?
He must've completely forgotten!
He left the door wide open
where did he go?
Excuse me, Moo-sung.
Did something happen?
I didn't even realize that you came.
-Hey, Dong-ryong.
-Huh?
Go home and sleep.
You've been sleeping here for ten hours.
I feel more at ease here.
The dean is at home. It's Sunday.
Go ahead. I'm going home later.
Gosh.
It's raining outside, right?
Yes, I think so.
I love the sound of rain.
I like getting rained on.
Lies.
Why would I lie?
I really do like getting rained on.
I'll get going.
Hey, Sun-woo!
Hey!
I'll come pick up my umbrella tomorrow!
See you tomorrow!
BONGHWANGDANG
You're not even that good at drinking.
What? Did you misspeak
during the interview today?
What is it?
What happened that you feel so grumpy?
Sun-young.
Yes?
Do you still remember the conception dream
you had when you had Sun-woo?
Of course! I could dream the same dream
tonight if I wanted to.
A dragon was flying up
in the middle of a waterfall
but when it saw me, it turned its head.
It had a magic pearl about this big
and it threw it onto my skirt
before disappearing up the waterfall.
What about the time
that Sun-woo was born?
-I'm sure you definitely--
-4:57 a.m.
Around the time to feed the pigs.
I was pleading with him to be born
before 5:00 a.m.
And then, he popped out
exactly three minutes beforehand!
He was a good son
from the time he was born.
But why do you ask?
Why are you asking that
out of the blue?
Why? Did Taek ask?
No.
The reporter asked me today.
About what his conception dream was
and what time he was born.
There's no way I'd know.
I couldn't remember at all,
so I couldn't answer.
I wanted to crawl somewhere and hide.
I feel so bad for my Taek.
I feel so apologetic toward my child.
Gosh.
Dads usually don't really know
those things!
What kind of father would remember
all that?
If only his mom were here
she would've remembered everything.
If his mom were alive she'd know
what her conception dream was
and what time he was born
or what he wore on his first day
of elementary school
Just like you.
Dads are so useless.
If only his mom had been
the one to live instead of me
Taek would've received so much love
like the other kids
and he would've worn nice clothes
every season.
He would've eaten a lot of delicious food.
And when he's sick
his mom could've held him tight
Why did I have to be the one to live on?
There's nothing I can say.
There's nobody else like you
on this planet.
You make him a warm meal every morning.
When it rains, you stand and wait
for Taek outside of the Association.
You've never even watched TV properly
because you were afraid of disturbing him.
Taek is aware of all of these things.
He's such a thoughtful kid
because he knows
how much his dad loves and cherishes him.
He's aware of it all!
What good is it,
whether he knows or not?
It's because I feel so bad for my child.
I feel so bad for my child
CHRISTMAS EVE D-2
ONE DAY BEFORE
THE END OF SECRET SANTA
You're going to freeze to death like that.
A jean skirt in the middle of the winter?
You gave up on studying, didn't you?
I'm going to start in January.
Mind your own business.
As if.
Deok-sun! Hurry and come out!
Are you going to be late
on the last day before winter break?
Okay!
-You're still here?
-Yes.
I overslept.
Let's go.
Hey, aren't you cold?
What are you doing? It's winter.
I'm going to Apgujeong with my friends
after school today.
I have to dress up at least.
What if you get sick?
And if you go to Gangnam today,
you'll get trampled to death.
Why not just stay home?
Why not mind your own business?
I mean
I'm just saying.
How about we watch a video
with the gang tonight at Taek's?
No, I already promised Maggie and Joey.
Oh, hello! You guys haven't left yet?
Jerk.
Hey.
Everyone else but us is a couple.
What's with us?
I'm not even surprised.
Hey.
Call your boyfriend or something.
Ask him to buy us burgers or something.
I can't believe you!
Hey. She says he's not her boyfriend.
-Apparently he likes someone else.
-Really?
-Really? Oh, wow.
-Hey!
Hey, then call that other guy
who was next to him instead.
Yes! It's so sad with just us girls here.
-Let's call him over and play together.
-Who?
Call the Go-game player!
Choi Taek. I'll only look at him.
He went to Busan.
Won't be back until tomorrow.
Should I call Dong-ryong?
You know, the one with the glasses.
Forget him. Oh! Tell him to come!
The tall and skinny kid with narrow eyes.
Who?
Oh, the one who was
next to the Student President?
-The scary looking one?
-You mean Jung-hwan?
Kim Jung-pal?
Tell him to come.
It'd be better than us eating alone.
He looked rich too,
so tell him to buy us some burgers.
-He definitely won't come.
-Why not?
I'll thank him if he doesn't curse.
He has a nasty temper!
But still try calling him!
Yes, he might actually come!
I thought he was your friend!
I don't want to.
He'll give me so much crap.
Hey.
You can't even make a phone call
for a friend?
Is that the kind of relationship we have?
-Mom, I'm going to the city for a bit.
-To hang out?
No, to buy something.
Will you be late?
I made the crab stew you like for dinner.
No, I'll be back soon.
Let's eat dinner together.
Are you going somewhere, Jin-ju?
Do you have dinner plans
with someone today?
I'll take Jin-ju with me.
Jin-ju, do you love me or not?
I love you.
Mom, I'll be back!
Oh, my babies
Hello.
Oh, Sun-woo!
Where are you going, Jin-ju?
Are you going on a date
with your brother?
-You have to answer "Yes."
-Yes.
Where's Jung-hwan, though?
Excuse me?
You're not going with Jung-hwan?
He just dressed up and left too.
Hey why are you here?
What? You told me to come.
Order! What do you want to eat?
I want the Filet-o-Fish
french fries
and a Coke.
Me too.
Um what did she order, exactly?
It's hard to understand, isn't it?
A Filet-o-Fish, french fries, and a Coke.
We can get a combo, right?
It's a bit expensive, though.
Sure. Go ahead.
It's fine.
What will you have?
Oh.
I want the Double Burger,
-a large Coke, fries, and ice cream.
-You're doing it again!
Ordering the whole menu!
You can't even finish it all,
and you're being greedy.
Eat first, and then order more.
You always think with your stomach,
not your brain.
You have no sense of self-control.
Just get the burger and the Coke, okay?
I'm going to the bathroom.
-Um, excuse me
-Yes?
You seem to be quite close
with Deok-sun.
You came here right away
after she called you.
Um, it's not that
I thought she was by herself.
I'll go and order.
Okay.
Wow. I think it's for real this time.
Totally!
Dance, dance performer
Don't stop the music
-Hurry! Let's go!
-What is it?
-Hurry!
-What's going on?
-Did something huge happen?
-Yes!
Dance, dance!
What's going on?
The weather forecast changed.
They say it won't snow tomorrow
or the day after.
What's the big fuss?
The snowman. What are we going to do
about the snowman?
Oh, yeah
Does anyone have any ideas?
We already made a promise to her
that we'd get her a snowman.
Gosh, what do we do?
Okay. Make any suggestion
that comes to mind.
Even if it's kind of silly,
just say it anyway.
Go ahead.
Okay, how about this?
Put Jin-ju to sleep
on the night of the 24th
and then wake her up
on the morning of the 26th.
See, then there's no need
to make a snowman.
Because there won't be a 25th.
Cut it out.
We can tell Jin-ju
"Jin-ju the snowman melted
while you were sleeping!"
"Why didn't you wake up?" Ouch!
I'm sorry.
I've never heard such a silly idea
in my life.
This is how people kill each other.
Oh! Can't we just make her
any kind of snowman?
We can make it with paper
or the stuffing from our blankets!
Sorry I'm late!
It's not like your ice store has
any business now. Why are you always late?
-What were you doing?
-I had to make a delivery.
Oh!
That's right! Ice!
We can make a snowman with ice!
Oh, my! You're right!
We can use ice!
Instead, putting her to sleep
on the 24th is a better--
Ice is a great idea!
We can carve it into a snowman!
Moo-sung has such skilled hands!
It's possible, right?
Yes.
I've never made one before,
but I don't think it'll be difficult.
That's great!
Can you spare us some ice from your store?
I'm sure nobody is buying ice, anyway.
-Or give it to us for cheap, at least.
-No, it's fine!
Nobody is buying much, anyway.
I'll put two containers of it
out front by tomorrow.
Thank you!
Okay, then. Let's all meet here tomorrow.
Have a good dinner, everyone.
And Merry Christmas in advance!
Let's conclude our meeting!
Gosh, we have meetings every day!
Seriously!
-How about my idea?
-Stop it!
What have you been thinking?
Did you leave something behind?
Why are you acting so serious?
Did you cause trouble?
Hey, Jung-pal.
What?
You
are my Secret Santa, right?
How strange.
Taek is my Secret Santa, though.
Why am I your Secret Santa?
You only came to Gangnam
because you had me for Secret Santa!
Are you out of your mind?
I'm not that stupid.
I'm not your Secret Santa.
Whatever.
I have Taek for Secret Santa.
Want me to show you the slip?
Then why did you come today?
What?
Are you really out of your mind?
Use this head of yours and give it
some serious thought about why I came.
Got it?
Seriously! What's with him?
What?
Hello!
This is a festival celebrating the youth,
romance, and dreams of young people!
This is MBC's 1988 Campus Music Festival!
Should we bet on who the winner will be?
Sure!
Sounds good. How much should we bet?
1000 won per person.
Each person will put in 1000 won,
winner takes all.
You could totally be an MC!
Jung-bong.
Yes?
Don't try to start a bet
and just watch quietly.
Wow! I didn't know Moo-sung was
so skilled with his hands!
Wow it's a masterpiece!
You could close your jewelry store
and become a sculptor!
He used to carve people's personal seals!
He's a real artisan!
But he doesn't have a nose,
a mouth, or eyes.
Should we use the black stones
or the white stones?
-Black stones!
-I like the white stones!
It's a mismatch.
-What are you doing?
-Don't do it! It'll melt!
With the temperature this low?
No way it'll melt. Don't worry. It's fine.
Jin-ju will be so happy tomorrow morning!
She'll totally believe
that Santa brought this for her!
Gosh! Look how much we went through
for that little girl!
Anyway, it's cold out and it's late.
So why not have a drink?
Then we'll stay at Sun-woo's
and watch some TV!
How about we have a drink, too?
It's so cold! Let's go already
instead of saying the obvious!
Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Yes, let's go!
I guess Dong-ryong's dad has something
to take care of.
Let's go inside.
-Have a good night.
-Bye.
-I'm calling Number 11!
-Me too! Number 11!
There are still five teams left.
It'll be Number 11 for sure.
He has personality!
I think it'll be Number three,
Jeon Soo-kyung!
Wow I was thinking the same thing.
Doesn't it seem a bit boring this year?
Nobody has left an impact on me.
All songs are like that
when you hear them the first time.
There's no song that impresses you
on the first listen!
I choose Number one.
Are you Beethoven or something?
You actually remember the song?
Yes. I think she was pretty.
Gosh.
What?
Oh, isn't it your birthday today?
Oh yeah, it really is.
Then we have to do a special
congratulatory toast for you!
Here! Cheers!
My wife was making
seaweed soup this morning.
It's your birthday today,
you're not having a party with your son?
We're too old for a party.
Gosh. Just looking at the number
of candles on the cake
on my birthday gets me all depressed.
That's right.
After I passed 40 years old,
I stopped looking forward to my birthday.
I just get depressed.
What are we supposed to do though?
We have to watch our kids grow up.
You're drinking a lot today.
Is something wrong?
No.
When is Taek coming home?
It's your birthday, after all.
It'd be nice to have dinner together.
He's on his way back from Busan.
I got a call from him this morning.
Taek is such a busy boy
he doesn't have time for that stuff.
Isn't that right?
The fact that he grew up so well is
a gift to you already, isn't it?
Yes, I'm so thankful even for just that.
I was only able to give him
half the love, raising him alone.
Even so, he grew up so well.
That's not true. You loved him
twice as much on behalf of his mom.
Don't talk like that.
If Taek were to hear that,
he might burst into tears.
He's just being humble!
What good would ten parents be?
They couldn't compare to you
when it comes to loving your child.
He's just being humble.
Here! Let's make a toast!
Pour me a glass too.
Here. Cheers!
What's with this mood,
when it's Christmas today?
I'll sing a song!
Don't you dare!
Is Jin-ju sleeping?
She was playing so much with her brother
and now she's fast asleep.
Jin-ju is so lucky.
The entire neighborhood came out
to prepare her a gift.
She's blessed!
She'll never forget
this Christmas present, right?
She'll forget about it by next year.
Kids don't remember things.
Why not?
When I was young, there wasn't
even such a thing as Christmas.
My mom spent all night before my birthday
making a doll out of scraps of cloth.
We had no money, so she used whatever
scraps of cloth were lying around.
And I still remember the day
that I saw that doll so clearly!
Of course! Jin-ju will forever remember
this Christmas gift.
Really?
Let's drink to that, then.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
It's so great to drink with you guys.
I still think it'll be Number 11.
-I think it'll be Number 14.
-Me too!
It's ambiguous, but
I think it'll be Number seven!
-As for me Number 15!
-Me too.
Don't copy me!
I'm not copying you!
This is a close game.
There's only one act left.
MBC's 1988 Campus Music Festival!
Gosh.
There's only one act left.
The last act!
Hey!
Number 16 from Seoul, it's Endless Orbit!
Group Endless Orbit,
you're the last performer for tonight.
What were you thinking
while you were waiting?
I wasn't thinking much,
but I wanted to go home and see my mom.
Okay, then presenting Number 16,
Endless Orbit from Seoul!
Their song is called "To That Person"!
ENDLESS ORBI
TITLE "TO THAT PERSON"
-Number 16!
-No, I choose Number 16!
-No, me!
-Me!
-I called it first!
-No, I did!
16! I'm calling Number 16!
-I called it first!
-No, me!
-No, I called it first!
-No!
TO THAT PERSON WHO HAS FOUND
THEIR WAY AND HAS LEF
ENDLESS ORBI
Bo-ra! It's me, Sun-woo.
Can I see you for a bit?
Why did you call me out?
-What is this?
-A gift.
Hey, I told you not to bother me.
You're making me feel uncomfortable.
Bo-ra.
I'm your Secret Santa.
We're supposed to exchange gifts today.
I'll get going, then.
Oh.
Merry Christmas!
Taek!
Hee-dong!
Hey, there's only 30 minutes left.
What?
There's only 30 minutes left
until today is over!
It really is 11:30 p.m. already.
Deok-sun, I'll get going.
Hey, Choi Taek!
What about the gloves?
I bought them.
Thanks to you,
I was able to pick the right ones.
I think my dad will love them.
Thank you so much.
Dad.
Did you drink?
Please, go inside and sleep.
You're home, my son?
What about dinner?
I ate. It's late, after all.
Oh, yes.
Wash up and go to sleep.
You've worked hard, my son.
Dad.
Here.
What is this?
A birthday present for you.
Happy Birthday, Dad.
Open it.
It's your birthday,
but I couldn't have dinner with you.
I'm sorry.
Dad
You know that I love you so much, right?
Dad
What's wrong?
When did my son grow up so much?
You're so thoughtful,
taking care of your dad's birthday.
You've really grown up.
You're all grown up, my son.
My kind and smart son
I, too
Taek
Gosh
I
only have you, Taek.
Deok-sun, what are you doing here?
Did you fight with Bo-ra again?
No-eul
I guess nobody picked my name.
I don't even have a Secret Santa.
I guess I'm someone
who doesn't even deserve to be loved.
Isn't Taek your Secret Santa?
I thought he was buying you gloves.
They weren't for me.
They were for his dad.
Wow.
-Should I just kill him?
-You can't!
He lost today. And just barely, too.
So don't cause him too much trouble
and just let it go.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't even remember
that we're doing Secret Santa.
He has no time to worry
about such things right now.
DEOK-SUN
Deok-sun.
I'm sorry. I totally forgot.
I'm really sorry.
About what?
Your Secret Santa was me.
Right? You are my Secret Santa, right?
Yes, it's me.
But I totally forgot about it.
I'm really sorry.
It's okay.
You have more important things
to worry about than this.
Also, I didn't have much interest
in Secret Santa anyway.
Everyone else did it,
so I was just curious. That's all.
It's okay.
What do you want as a gift?
I'll buy you anything you want.
No, it's okay.
Hurry and tell me.
I'll count to three.
One
Gloves!
Pink angora gloves.
Okay.
Got it.
I'll buy you the same ones as my dad's.
Hurry and go home. It's cold.
Okay. Good night.
You too.
It's a warm Christmas morning.
It's two degrees Celsius in Seoul
and four degrees in Gwangju and Jeonju.
Meanwhile, it's three degrees in Daejeon.
Gosh, I have a hangover.
I knew this would happen.
You drank so much yesterday!
Do you want some medicine?
No, it's fine.
I'll just drink this soup and bear it.
Anyway, where did the kids go?
They are sleeping in
since it's their vacation.
I thought today would be cold,
but it seems warm.
Yes, um
did you hear it raining last night
by any chance? I thought I did.
What rain? I didn't hear anything.
Last night,
there was rain in the Seoul area.
There was an abnormal amount of rain
Wow, you have good ears.
How did you manage to hear the rain
after drinking that much?
I'm very sensitive.
Still, rain is better than snow.
Everything cluttering the streets must've
been washed away, so it's great--
Oh, dear.
Gosh, where did it go? What do we do?
-What about Jin-ju?
-She's still sleeping.
She'll be very disappointed.
What do we do?
What else can we do?
We just have to get her
some snacks she likes.
Is there a problem?
Jin-ju asked for a snowman
as a Christmas gift,
so we spent all night making her one.
But it all melted.
It'd be difficult to remake it now, right?
What do we do?
I feel so bad for her.
She said she wanted a snowman?
Yes. Your sister said
she wanted a snowman for Christmas.
But it melted. What do we do now?
They sell those at Dooly Supermarket.
You can get it from Dooly Supermarket.
What are you talking about?
Jin-ju calls ice cream "snowmen."
Should I go buy some? How many?
Wow! A snowman!
It may be because of the sons
and daughters of this world
that the people of the world began
to have faith in religions.
It may be because of their parents
who wished for their happiness
and well-being above all else.
God, Buddha, Allah, and Santa must exist
for the sake of all of the moms and dads
in this world
as well as for their children.
Deok-sun, it's for you.
What is it?
A present.
What?
Oh, my!
When did he buy these?
The department stores are not
even open yet!
Is Taek still outside?
He didn't leave yet, right?
They are not from Taek.
They are from Jung-hwan.
He says they were your Christmas present.
He must be out of his mind.
I was at the age
when I no longer believed in Santa
or felt my heart flutter
because of Secret Santa.
I was at an age when a gift
that was secretly left behind
or secretly conveyed gentleness wasn't
enough to fulfill my expectations.
Excitement that would probably escape
up to the back of my throat
and choke me
if I were to try and suppress it.
Embarrassment that would probably make
my heart explode
if I were to admit to it.
I was dying to make it obvious,
but I didn't want to get caught.
That was the excitement we felt
back in 1988.
We were 18 years old back then.
You're here today.
Yes.
That's good. Reporter Park said
this is for you.
She said it's your Christmas gift.
It looked like a videotape.
Anyway, I'll get going.
Also, stay home and sleep
on days like today, okay?
Bye.
Master Choi Taek,
this is my Christmas gift to you.
I'm not sure if you'll like it,
but I secretly edited this all night,
so please enjoy it.
It's a special video that doesn't exist
anywhere else in the world.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas,
and I hope you have a great record
next year!
From Master Choi Taek's forever fan,
Park Ji-yoon.
Oh, no.
I'm not good at saying such things
Come on! Please, just once!
Well
I don't really say things like that, so
I'm sorry. Why are you doing this to me?
Then, I won't air this part.
Just consider it practice
and just say it once.
Without the camera.
At times like this, you're weird.
Why? It's because you two always seem
too cold.
Just say it to me once, as practice!
Say, "I love you" just once. Okay?
I can say that.
Exactly! What's so hard about it?
Go ahead and say it!
I love you, son.
See? That wasn't too hard.
One more time.
Just one more time.
I love you, my son.
See, you're so good at it.
You should say it to him more often!
I'm not that good at it,
but you kept asking me to
Time continues to pass.
That's why time eventually creates
farewells
and it always leaves people with regrets.
How nice would it be
if you said this to him all the time?
Anyway, you did great today!
Oh, the camera.
Thank you.
If you love someone,
you have to tell them now,
before your fleeting days become filled
with regrets.
In some ways, the biggest gift
that time leaves us with is
the memories we have of loving others.
That's why, before it's too late,
you have to shove embarrassment aside
and confess your love
to your loved ones.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
It wasn't you?
I'm going to tell Mom everything!
Mom
Fix your hair color first!
It wasn't me, Mom!
It really wasn't me!
If you like Sung Bo-ra,
you're out of your mind.
Hi, Bo-ra.
Say, "Hello."
Hello.
What are you doing?
I'll give you all of this.
I don't need it anymore.
If only it wasn't for that surgery
Jung-bong, its me.
Mom is so strong
but her son's body is so weak
