YEAR 1989
SSANGMUN, DOBONG, SEOUL
Oh, it's hot! Gosh!
Stop eating so much so late!
You'll fart up a storm later!
Now the New Year's holiday is over.
I have to go to work tomorrow
I just want to hit somebody.
It'd be nice if banks had vacations too.
Right, Dad?
Life is good when there's no school.
You'll be a junior.
Don't you dare sink any lower
than 1,000th place.
What about Deok-sun?
She's in 1,000th place too.
She's never gotten lower
than 1,000th place.
-She's better than you.
-Yeah.
Last month,
Deok-sun jumped up 10 ranks.
You little
Speaking of which,
where's our 989th Place?
Dooly Supermarket to buy snacks.
Wow, that girl has no fear.
There are so many dangerous
street abductions lately.
What's with you?
Damn it
Hey, you surprised me!
Why were you following me?
What are you talking about?
This is my house.
-Then make some noise when you walk!
-What sound?
Who makes sound while walking?
I was about to call you anyway.
Why did you walk so fast?
Was someone following you?
You! You were!
Who the hell followed who?
I was just walking home!
What's with you?
Whatever!
Hey!
What?
Good night.
THE PREDATOR
Did you get it?
-Here.
-Thank you.
What about Bo-ra?
Bo-ra? She's on a date.
What? Didn't they break up?
I think they got back together.
So he's her first love!
Who sings this song?
It's awesome.
It's on the radio.
It's Dongmulwon. Can't you tell?
What's the title?
That was Dongmulwon's
"Hyehwa-dong."
Listeners of Starry Night,
I have some great news.
Starry Night, which began in 1969,
is now 20 years old this year.
So we had a bit of an outrageous idea.
Are you curious?
Musicians who love our shows and myself
invite the listeners,
to host a Starry Night Jam Concert!
I can hear our audience crying out
from far and wide.
I hear it all the way from MBC's office.
For our first Jam Concert,
a lot of great musicians are coming
to celebrate the 20th birthday.
First, on the guitar
is Lee Chi-hyun.
Lee Moon-sae on the second guitar!
On the drums, Kim Soo-chul!
Wow!
On the piano, Woo Soon-shil!
On the synthesizer, Kim Chang-nam!
And it was difficult to arrange him.
On the bass guitar,
Masam Trio's big bro,
Lee Soo-man!
We have one more special
Did you hear? Lee Soo-man is
playing the bass.
Awesome lineup!
A cute rising comedian at Starry Night,
Lee Kyung-kyu!
Lee Kyung-kyu is going too.
Who's funnier, me or him?
Sun-woo, are you not going to sleep?
The floor is really warm.
Go home and sleep.
Your house is warmer.
Can you sleep in the teacher's lounge,
just because it's warm?
Good night.
My house is the teacher's lounge.
The Dean of Students is my dad.
Anyone who loves
Starry Night is welcome!
Let's meet at the convention hall
of the 63 Building
at 8:00 p.m. on January 11th.
Now, with that bit of great news,
here's the last song.
He's the eldest of the Masam Trio
and the one taking on the bass
at our Jam Concert.
It's his first time playing bass,
so he went to the States
to buy a bass guitar.
Here's Lee Soo-man's "Happiness."
I don't see Mr. Choi today.
Why isn't he out today?
Taek!
Where's your dad?
Hello!
Where's your dad?
He's not sweeping today.
He went to Gimhae.
His best friend passed away.
Oh, no.
Then come over, Taek!
Let's eat together.
I made braised short ribs!
Okay!
May I come, too?
Did your mom go somewhere?
No. I want to eat braised short ribs.
Is our place the Red Cross?
-What's the Red Cross?
-Where you donate blood.
Why are you here, Dong-ryong?
Eat at your home! You guys are well off.
My mom left for work early,
and the dean's making curry.
How could I not come? Look at the ribs.
How did you know that?
I hear everything from my room.
Your dad went to Gimhae?
Let's watch a video in your room today.
Madam!
Hi. Come and eat.
I already ate.
-Tell your mom we enjoyed the japchae.
-Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Starry Night is holding
a jjam Concert next week! Let's go.
It's not jjam. It's Jam.
Good for you.
Let's go! Lee Moon-sae, Lee Chi-hyun,
and Lee Soo-man will be there.
And naturally boing!
Lee Kyung-kyu is coming too! Boing!
I'm down.
You?
I have a competition.
I want to go too, but I can't.
-I have--
-Whatever. Dong-ryong, let's go.
I'm going to Jeju to see my brother.
Hey guys!
So just Jung-hwan and me?
Let's go next time, then.
I'm going.
Just come. You like Lee Moon-sae.
Mom! Where's the crispy rice soup?
Didn't you say you bought
Lee Sun-hee concert tickets?
Lee Sun-hee?
The one with round glasses?
Wow, how do you know her?
I thought you only knew Deulgukhwa.
Sun-woo gave me some of her tapes.
-When's the concert?
-The 28th.
But you can't come.
I only have two tickets.
Who are you going with?
Thanks, Sun-woo.
You're welcome. But you can't come either.
I have someone I'm going with.
What are you doing here?
Bo-ra. Come to the Lee Sun-hee concert
with me.
No. Why would I go with you?
It's just a concert ticket.
I have no other intentions.
Even so, I won't go with you.
I held back all this time
because I know you're a good kid.
As you're going through puberty,
you could like someone older in town.
That's why I let it go.
But I won't anymore.
Stop messing around.
You're only my sister's friend to me.
You're just Deok-sun's friend.
Don't cross the line anymore.
This makes me annoyed and uncomfortable.
ROOM FOR REN
STARRY NIGH
That was freaking awesome!
The best of my life.
It hurts. Stop!
What's with you?
It's so cold.
Why'd you wear a skirt?
You have no common sense.
What would you do without me?
What are you talking about?
You live off the joy of tormenting me!
When a girl says she's cold,
a guy should give her his jacket! Okay?
Am I crazy? Why should I?
Excuse me,
-but could you take our picture please?
-Yes.
Okay, I'll take the picture.
One, two, three.
Thank you.
I'll take one for you two.
-No, we're okay.
-Yes, thank you.
Stand closer together.
I'll take the picture.
A little closer together.
Just take it--
Here goes. One, two, three.
He must have liked me since then.
DECEMBER 2015
Look how he put his hand
on my shoulder.
Look at that expression.
He's so happy.
Well, back then,
you were pretty.
What about now?
Would you like a mirror?
Ow! Hey!
What's this?
He's had the store closed for days.
He opens the store even on holidays
-Sun-young!
-Yes.
Come and play cards.
Cards? Okay!
Let's play!
How could this happen?
That bastard and I were
supposed to go to Jirisan next month.
Moo-sung.
Are we already at this age?
Is 45 years old really a dying age?
What about his wife?
Mi-yeon is only ten years old.
There's no order when it comes to dying.
This is just the way life is.
What's the point of living intensely?
People die in an instant like this.
Let's see here
I haven't seen Jung-bong.
Did he go somewhere?
Oh. He went to a Buddhist temple.
A Buddhist temple?
Why? Is he sick again?
He just wanted to get some fresh air.
He wants to have time on his own, I guess.
He likes Buddhist temples.
He's the only Buddhist in our family.
I'm sure
the food there won't suit his tastes.
Do you know what Jung-bong likes most,
after ramen?
Herbs and greens.
He goes nuts for bibimbap
with greens and herbs in it.
It's not easy to get that fat
on herbs and greens!
Excuse me, sir
I'll have just one more bowl.
May you attain enlightenment.
Ms. Kang Man-soon!
Are you there?
Excuse me.
Why are you looking for her?
-Are you Kang Man-soon?
-No, I'm not, but I live here.
So you live here?
What's your name?
Kim Sun-young.
What's your relation to Ms. Kang?
She's my mother-in-law.
RELATION: DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
Sign here, please.
Right here.
What is this?
Our house will be auctioned off!
What is all this?
Ms. Kang put your house up as collateral
when getting a loan.
Excuse me?
What do you mean by that?
Ms. Kang Man-soon didn't repay
her debt to the bank,
so we're selling the house you live in.
The amount you'll need
to reclaim it is 10 million won.
If you don't pay 10 million won
by the first of next month,
the court will proceed
with the selling process.
You still have time,
so pay us back by then to nullify this.
Why should I repay money
that I didn't even borrow?
Stop talking nonsense.
Who has the authority to put my house
as collateral?
Cancel this auction
or foreclosing thing, right now!
The property is under
Ms. Kang Man-soon's name.
Thus, she's the homeowner
and there are no issues.
The home is only hers in name!
This is my house!
This is the home
that my husband gave to me!
Please discuss that with the borrower.
Goodbye.
Hello!
Hello!
What's happening?
Mother-in-Law!
How could you do this?
How will we live now?
Am I supposed to just let my child
go to jail?
So we're strangers now?
The person was in serious condition.
We had to pay
to keep my child out of jail.
Would you feel better
if he went to jail instead?
You should have left this house alone!
How could you do this?
Oh, my. How could you not even have
10 million won?
How can you use all of my son's pension?
Whether you go out to dances
or date someone is none of my business.
But remember you're doing that
with my child's life.
What a good fate you have.
You live in my house,
and receive my son's money.
What a nice life you have.
Whatever.
Send the kids to my place
when the house is sold.
I can raise them so much better
than you.
What is this?
What do I do?
What do I do now?
What is this? What do I do?
How could this happen?
Why am I missing you so much
Is this how you do it?
You really can't dance.
How could you move like that?
You do it, then!
Why am I missing you so much
Why can't I see myself
I'm sure you know how I feel
You can't do this?
You're annoying.
-Deok-sun.
-Yeah?
Call Taek. Tell him to come eat dinner.
Come eat dinner here. You have to eat.
It's okay. I'm not hungry.
Okay.
He doesn't want to eat!
He must be holed up in his room again!
Leave him be. He'll eat when he's hungry.
Take it to him. Don't spill it on the way.
Tell him to eat it while it's hot!
He sure knows how to inconvenience
other people
Geez he's annoying.
Where are you going?
You said you weren't having dinner.
I want to rest my head a bit.
Is that for me?
Yeah. Let's eat at my place then.
Okay. Give me that.
Choi Taek, you know it's January, right?
Why, what did I do wrong?
Aren't you cold?
Your house is right there. It's fine.
I can't figure out
if you are sensitive or dull!
Hurry up.
-Here you are.
-Thank you.
Eat all you want.
When is your dad coming back?
Tomorrow morning.
He said he'd closed the store too long.
They must've been really close.
Your dad doesn't close his store
that long.
They were like the Three Musketeers.
My dad, Mr. Tae-yong,
and the one who passed away.
Is that right?
Thank you for the meal.
Sure! Eat up!
Hello?
Yeah. Yes. What's up?
Hold on. I'll be right over.
I'm going to Sun-woo's for a bit.
Eat up, Taek.
If you want more, ask Deok-sun--
I'm helping him! He doesn't eat that much.
SEOUL DISTRICT COUR
DECISION
Your mother-in-law is outrageous.
What about her grandkids?
She wants to throw them out on the street?
She said she'll raise them.
She said if I don't want that,
I should sell this house
and move to a smaller one.
What kind of person is she?
She pisses me off!
But where will you get 10 million won?
Geez
You have to repay
by the end of this month?
Yes.
If I repay the money to Chohung Bank
by the end of the month,
the auction thing will automatically
be canceled.
She's basically telling me to go die.
I barely manage to scrape by
every month with 300,000 won.
Where will I get 10 million won?
She's telling me to go die!
I could help
if it were a couple million won.
But I spent up my cash last month
on Jung-bong's surgery.
Even so, I'll get some money for you.
I have about two million won
that I hid away from my husband.
I'll borrow money
from some people I know.
No, no, it's fine!
Please don't.
I have a sense of decency.
The money I've already borrowed
from you two amounts to a million won.
This time,
I'll figure something out on my own.
If it doesn't work out, it doesn't.
I'll have to move out.
Sun-young.
It's okay.
No need to feel ashamed
by feeling indebted to others.
It's okay to ask.
It's okay.
I
I'm really okay.
I'll take care of it.
Mi-ran.
Isn't life
and this world just too unfair?
Even though I've borrowed money
here and there from you two,
I've never taken out loans from a bank.
I've never been hugely indebted to others
in all my life.
And what about my Sun-woo? Oh, dear.
He hates seeing me suffer.
He doesn't want me doing dishes
or being a maid.
And because of that,
he's never asked
for brand name sneakers his whole life.
I know. Sun-woo is the nicest kid.
It's because you raised him so well.
I've lived like that.
I've lived so hard.
Still, the three of us will be cast out
into the streets
in this cold weather. Oh, my.
Sun-young.
Let me ask.
Is life so hard for just me?
Why is mine so difficult?
Mom, your son's home!
You're here, my son?
Are you hungry?
Wash up. I bought some tangerines for you.
Okay. What about Jin-ju?
She's already asleep.
Go to sleep. I'll sleep later.
Is your wrist okay?
I told you to go to the doctor.
Yeah, I'm fine. I'll go.
Geez, you always say you will.
I'll really go!
Stop worrying so much.
Should I bring the tangerines
to your room?
Yeah.
THANK YOU FOR USING OUR BANK
SUN-WOO'S COLLEGE FUND
Mr. Choi! When did you get back?
How about a drink this evening?
Wow it's already 6:00 p.m.
Tour of Duty must be on.
How does time pass by so quickly
on Sundays?
I'm going out for a bit.
Have dinner and go to sleep.
Going out to drink again?
Drinking isn't the important part.
Mr. Choi's friend abruptly passed away.
So it's to console him,
not because I want to drink.
Nice excuse you've got there.
How do you manage to find
so many reasons to go drinking?
Wow, that's a real talent.
It's really all about consoling
Mr. Choi today.
I'll just have one glass and come home.
So have dinner and go to sleep.
No-eul, help out your mother.
He must be so sad!
Have a safe night.
He won't be in the right mind.
Mr. Choi! I'm here!
Hey! Mr. Choi!
Mr. Choi! Hey! Mr. Choi!
Wake up!
Mr. Choi!
Mr. Choi, wake up!
Mr. Choi!
Hold on.
Mr. Choi!
Oh, my.
That was close.
I was so shocked.
If you brought him 30 minutes later,
he would've become a vegetable.
Oh, my God.
Is he okay now?
Thankfully, you discovered him early,
so he is fine now.
He almost died.
By the way,
a brain hemorrhage surgery is a big deal.
Did his surgery go well?
He has high blood pressure,
so he should've been careful.
The hemorrhage wasn't big,
so the surgery turned out well.
-Oh, thank you so much.
-Thank you so much.
He'll wake up soon.
We'll have to see,
but he'll be able to eat and talk soon.
Oh, my
His hands may tremble.
This is a common symptom
after brain hemorrhages,
so you don't need to worry.
If he takes care of himself well,
it'll stop.
Yes.
You saved his life.
It's very rare
for a brain hemorrhage patient
to be discovered so early for operation.
Oh, I see.
He's such a nice guy,
so I guess he was blessed.
Thank you, Doctor.
Thank you.
What a relief.
Oh, dear.
I feel so bad for him.
He doesn't have a wife,
and I can't reach Taek
You heard what he said, right?
Alcohol saved his life!
All right, already.
Just call the Go-game Association again.
-Oh!
-Well,
when are you going to the hospital?
I was about to head out. What's that?
I made rice porridge,
in case he can't eat other food.
He can eat starting today, right?
He'll be allowed to eat
starting this evening.
Oh, really?
I'll grill some corvina next time.
Fish would be better than red meat.
I'm sure he'll be so happy,
eating corvina!
He didn't hire a caregiver, right?
He probably won't have one.
I don't know what he'll do
with all the money he has.
It'd be so convenient to hire one.
We can make him food,
But using the bathroom
and washing up will be hard.
It's because he's always been alone.
Taek will be in and out.
He takes good care of himself,
so don't worry.
Looks delicious.
-It's nothing much.
-Wow, this looks good.
Geez
Mr. Choi Moo-sung?
I'll check your blood pressure.
Why are you sitting up? You must be dizzy.
Your guardian isn't here?
Your hands will be shaking a lot
and you'll be uncomfortable for a while.
Oh, I do have one.
I have a son.
Oh the famous one?
I heard he's very busy.
The doctor told me
that he just met your son today.
Your father is very lucky.
Blood hemorrhages usually cause paralysis
or speech problems.
But your father was discovered quickly,
so he'll have no trouble
living a normal life.
The surgery turned out well, too.
He should be able to go home
within a week.
Thank you.
We've overcome a huge hurdle,
so don't worry.
He just needs to take care of himself.
Yes. Thank you, Doctor.
And one more thing
Can I please have your autograph?
Oh, yes.
I'm fine.
I don't feel pain.
Dad, you almost died.
I almost became an orphan.
I won't leave you behind so easily.
Everything turned out well.
Don't worry and focus on your own stuff.
-Hire a caregiver.
-Geez.
No. My limbs are fine, so why would I?
I'm going to China this week.
I won't be here.
How will you manage on your own?
Geez the ladies come by once a day.
I'm fine.
Worry about your own stuff. Okay?
What will you do by the way?
I heard that Mr. Lee
from the Association won't go with you.
I'll have to go to China with you.
It's fine.
The chief is coming with me.
I'll be fine if I go alone.
Still, someone has to take care of you.
Just worry about yourself.
Guardian?
-Please pay for the hospital fees.
-Okay.
Yes.
Hey, you! I'm here!
-The one who saved--
-Hurry up!
Hello!
Hello!
Are you feeling okay?
Are your hands shaking a lot?
I've gotten a lot better.
Mi-ran made you some rice porridge.
Have some with some doenjang soup.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah.
If you want to eat or need anything,
let me know.
I'll bring it to you on my way home
from work.
I do have one favor.
Since you've saved my life,
can I ask you for one more favor?
PASSPOR
But why her?
Jung-hwan or Sun-woo could go.
Deok-sun?
Our second daughter?
Ms. 989th Place?
You're talking about Deok-sun?
This time, Taek is going to China.
I was wondering if she could go with him.
Whenever he's gone abroad to compete,
Mr. Lee or I have always gone with him.
But this time, neither of us can make it.
If someone doesn't take care of him,
he's like a corpse in his room.
He doesn't come out.
So
all she has to do is
to make sure he eats.
Oh, my.
You must not be in your right mind.
She is a total idiot
who doesn't know anything.
Deok-sun will do well.
Taek will be more comfortable
with her than with anyone else.
But there's Jung-hwan and Sun-woo, too.
Those two will be seniors in high school,
so they have to study--
Oh, no. What I meant was
She's less
I mean
Okay. I get it.
You're right.
The only kid who doesn't study
on our block is Deok-sun.
No, that's not it.
It takes a while for boys
to get their passports.
They said that it takes a few months.
But Deok-sun is a girl,
so she can get one in a couple days
if the Go-game Association helps out.
So
Oh if it's difficult,
you don't have to send her.
I just asked, in case.
No, it's nothing like that
I feel bad for Taek.
Taek's scary when he gets angry, right?
No.
Taek likes Deok-sun.
The two of them will get along fine.
Taek will lose.
Who's taking care of who?
Where did you get that suitcase?
From Taek's room.
What about the camera?
It's Taek's.
Thief.
It's okay. He won't notice. He's an idiot.
How can you call
your older sister a thief?
GUANGZHOU, CHINA
TV GO-GAME ASIA CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS
Why all the luggage?
Is this all yours?
Yes. It's my first time abroad,
I brought everything just in case.
You're friends with Choi Taek, 6-dan?
Yes. We're testicle friends
in the neighborhood.
Master Choi has a cute friend.
Testicle fri
His girlfriend?
Excuse me? What are you saying?
We're just friends.
Are you from the Go-game Associaton too,
Mister?
Do you play too?
These two are reporters.
Your cameras are awesome!
He is a newbie too.
It's his first time abroad.
It's the first time abroad
for you too, right, Mr. Yoo?
I've been to Japan once or twice.
Here are your room keys.
Check-in is complete.
Oh, thank you.
We all can use the same room.
This is for Ms. Deok-sun, room 403.
This is for Master Choi, room 405.
Two rooms right across from each other
for easy access.
And, this is
a spare key for Master Choi's room.
Hold onto this.
He passed out in his room once before,
so keep it just in case.
Yes.
Here's your key. Room 405.
Okay.
We'll have dinner
at this hotel's Chinese restaurant.
Come to the lobby by 6:00 p.m.
I'll head up first.
I'll go on ahead.
I'll come get you by 5:55 p.m.
He won't come.
He doesn't eat before matches.
When the match is in China,
he really doesn't eat.
He can't digest,
and the food doesn't suit his palate.
He's sensitive before matches.
Mister, by the way,
do they have tangsuyuk here?
Must be delicious.
Yeah.
Wow, no way!
Can I eat all of this?
Yeah. Sit.
Yes!
Where's Master Choi?
He says he'll eat later.
I knew it.
He acted like he was eating
when his father was here.
Is this place famous?
They make great food here.
This city is near the ocean,
so the fish dishes are good.
What other restaurants have good food?
I heard there is
a famous Japanese restaurant around here.
-The sushi place across the street?
-Yes.
It is famous, but we can't go there.
How come? Can't we have dinner
there tomorrow?
It's way too crowded.
The wait is at least an hour.
You eat well.
You really do.
As long as there's food!
What? Who has that kind of money?
That's too cruel!
She is evil!
How could she use that house
for collateral?
Sis.
I'll go and make a fuss!
It's fine.
That won't solve anything.
Forget about that.
Eat well and drive safe, Tae-soo.
Is this the time to worry about me?
Where will we get 10 million won?
I'll take care of everything.
Don't you say a word about this to Mom.
Got that?
All right.
Bye.
Sun-young. I made some galbi.
Take this to the hospital tomorrow.
He can eat this now, right?
Sure.
I'll get your plates from him, too.
Can you watch Jin-ju?
Mr. Choi is doing well
without a caregiver.
Without a wife. Amazing, really.
Good for him.
I know.
Wow, galbi?
By the way,
I wonder if our Deok-sun is doing well.
She must be prancing around.
I told her what to do,
so she won't cause too much trouble.
Maybe one or two small incidents?
Bathroom! Broken!
Water drops and drops all night.
I couldn't sleep all night!
Okay?
The room is too cold!
I almost froze to death! Bleh
My lips almost got paralyzed.
I understand why she's doing that.
I couldn't sleep all night, either.
I heard the water dripping
from the bathroom all night.
I almost froze to death.
The window wouldn't close.
She must have been more uncomfortable,
as a girl.
I think all the rooms
on our floor are like that.
Wait.
Master Choi won't be
in such good condition.
They are doing this on purpose.
Really?
This happens often.
Master Choi is late today.
Did he oversleep?
The competition is on the 7th floor,
right?
I'll bet the Chinese reporters got
the best spots already.
Excuse me.
CHOI TAEK 6-DAN'S WAITING ROOM
There's still 30 minutes left.
Then we wait here until then?
He won't come out of there
before the game, no matter what.
It's his alone time.
-I'm going to the bathroom.
-Okay.
Master Choi! Can you pose?
I'm sorry,
but can you leave?
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
Are you out of your mind?
Geez you deserve this!
He can't even drink water before a match!
Neither can other players.
This is nerve-wracking for them.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The match is about to begin.
-Please enter.
-Thank you.
Hello?
Tae-yong!
Why are you calling?
Geez
Tae-soo told you, didn't he?
He told you already?
I'm looking into it. Don't worry.
I know that you don't have money!
It's fine!
It's not like 10 million won is
small change.
I know that you have a rich friend.
Okay. I'll talk to him.
The person borrowing the money should ask.
I'll ask him, so don't you say a word.
I told you.
I really will!
Okay. Got it.
Bye.
REAL ESTATE AGENCY
Come in.
Oh, I'm sorry.
How did it go?
Black, half-point victory.
I'm saying he won.
Is it all over now, then?
No. This is only the first out of three.
If he wins tomorrow, he's the winner.
If not, he has to play a third round.
I see.
Taek, get off. We're here.
Okay.
Tonight's dinner is Korean food.
I'll come get you later.
I don't want any.
Just wake me up at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Okay.
He won't come.
-What do I do?
-Don't worry.
Won't he eat tomorrow,
after this is over?
What do I do?
I think I'll eat a lot, Mister.
I'm so hungry.
The College Student Associations
in Seoul held a meeting
and they are massively protesting
for establishing proper democracy.
About ten students were injured
Bo-ra came home early, right?
She came a while ago and is sleeping.
About 5,000 students
from Korea Democracy Foundation
and 5,000 people
from Nationalism Association are expected
to hold a massive assembly.
If she protests like that,
I'll shave her bald
and send her to a temple.
Oh, yeah.
Speaking of which,
Jung-bong is still at a temple, right?
Which one is he in?
It's a really famous one.
A brand name one.
So absurd!
All temples are the same.
There's no such thing as brand names.
There's one that's always on TV lately.
I wonder if he had breakfast.
They have good breakfast here.
I had five plates.
Good job.
Here he comes.
Excuse me. Sorry.
CHOI TAEK, 6-DAN
Please enter.
Mr. Yoo! Let's go.
He has to come now.
Yes, I'll escort him out.
Taek!
They want you to come now.
Okay.
JAEIL REAL ESTATE
Going somewhere?
Yeah. To Jung-hwan's.
Then drop off those empty plates
while you're there.
Okay.
They're on the table.
Hey. Here.
Mom, I'm leaving these here!
Okay!
Let's go.
Where?
Dong-ryong went all the way to Dobong
and rented Emma in Paris.
He's waiting at Taek's.
Oh hey.
Wait, wait!
What?
I'm going to see No-eul for a second.
Don't bring him. He's a blabbermouth.
Okay. Go on ahead.
Hurry over.
Bo-ra.
She's not here.
Why?
Huh? Oh
I just had something to ask her.
But where did she go?
To Exercise.
She'll be fine, right?
Of course.
She's really good at running away.
We demand!
Keep quiet!
Get in.
Lower your head!
Move.
Move!
Is this Jaeil Real Estate?
Are there any inexpensive places?
Preferably in Ssangmun.
Oh you don't have any cheaper ones?
Yes please give me a call then.
Yes.
-Sun-young!
-Yes?
You'll have to go today, too.
Mi-ran hurt her ankle.
Is it serious?
She slipped on the stairs.
I must take care of both men today.
Can you go today?
We'll feed Sun-woo and Jin-ju.
Sure. The youngest should deliver.
I got a call from Mr. Choi
this morning anyway,
asking for shampoo and conditioner.
It's time for him
to wash his hair, isn't it?
He hasn't washed his hair
since his surgery.
His hair must be oily and matted by now.
Isn't it usually like that anyway?
Why the wheelchair?
Oh, yeah. Doesn't Taek have a match today?
Did he win?
I haven't heard from him yet.
Thank you.
He's going to set a record.
Mister, how could a person sit still
for ten hours?
Is he human?
He wouldn't know ten hours have gone by.
No way.
It's over. You may enter.
Mister did Taek lose?
No, he won.
What?
Then why is his expression like that?
He's confusing me.
-It's Go-game etiquette.
-What?
Winners have to be humble.
And losers have to be polite.
That's Go-game etiquette.
Sorry.
What's that? If he's happy,
he should act happy.
How many are left?
Five?
Hey. Get off.
Wow I can't believe this!
This is Nanjido!
To the police station, then?
Hey! You're next.
How dare you use informal speech?
Do you know me?
TONGILCHON, PAJU
I'll walk you out. I need some exercise.
I'm not leaving.
I want to get some fresh air,
so I'll go get some goldfish bread.
Ouch.
I saw on my way here.
Five of them are 200 won.
I'm going to go get some,
so sit tight.
DAEHO PRECISION
Is that you, Tae-yong?
Yeah. It's me.
Geez How did this happen?
Why did you come?
I'm fine.
You're not.
Do you know how worried I was?
Then what took you so long?
I was on a business trip
and just got back, bastard.
I knew this would happen someday.
You have high blood pressure,
but you don't take medicine
or control your diet.
Geez.
You'll take care of your health now,
right?
Moo-sung, please take care of yourself.
Okay?
Don't just live for Taek.
Live for yourself, too.
You only have one life,
and it'll fly by.
Are you going to take all that money
with you?
Yeah. I'm going to put all of it
in my coffin.
Punk.
Hey.
Now that Jae-sang is gone,
you're the only best friend I have left.
Please, take care of your health. Okay?
Okay. No more nagging!
Also Moo-sung.
What is it?
You haven't heard, right?
Heard what?
She didn't tell you.
What are you talking about? Who's she?
So cold.
It's freezing.
BOYFRIEND
HOME
Here you go.
Eat all you want.
Yes.
Thank you.
UPSTAIRS (JUNG-BONG)
Oh, my.
-There we go.
-Oh!
I won't fail. Go!
-Go!
-Oh, wow.
He's so cute.
-Oh, my!
-Go!
Where did everyone go?
Damn it.
HOUSE UP FRONT (SUN-WOO)
Damn it.
Don't pick up!
Hello?
Hello?
Who is it?
Hello?
Um it's me.
Bo-ra.
Me Bo
It's me, Sung Bo-ra!
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
We're going to have a congratulatory party
up front. Let's go.
I'm a bit tired.
I'll rest in my room with my friend.
Of course. You couldn't sleep
for the past two days, right?
And you didn't eat.
I guess that's what's great about youth!
How could you be fine
without a single meal?
You have good stamina.
I ate really well this time around.
I didn't even miss one meal.
I got great sleep,
and the room was nice and warm.
I was in peak condition this time.
Excuse me?
You you ate?
Yes.
You weren't the one who bought it for me?
Me?
Buy what?
Very good, Jangpyo.
Thank you.
Taek! I made you a fried egg!
Jangpyo. Thank you!
Very good!
JAPANESE
WELCOME
Bathroom! Broken!
Water dripped and dripped all night.
I couldn't sleep all night, Okay?
Okay?
The room is too cold!
I almost froze to death! Bleh
My lips almost got paralyzed.
My friend is a national treasure
of Korea!
If you don't change our rooms,
we could have a diplomatic conflict!
Okay?
Change our rooms!
Okay? Very good!
Thank you! Okay!
Damn it Sung Deok-sun!
-Jangpyo, this one is burnt.
-What?
This one's burnt. Look at the color.
The burnt part tastes better.
No, this isn't right. It's burnt.
It's tastier.
Okay. Then just make me one more.
What?
Make me one more because it's burnt.
It's tastier.
Okay, come on. Just one more.
-Come on?
-Yes, Jangpyo. Thank you.
Your friend is great.
She's better than your father.
Oh, yeah.
I'll have to make a quick call.
You've worked hard.
I'm fine.
Yeah. The ladies come by every day.
What about Deok-sun?
Did you buy her a lot of delicious food?
Really?
Rest well tomorrow.
Yeah. Okay.
Food? The food at the hospital is fine.
Make sure you don't skip any meals. Yeah.
Is it because stingy people live
in Gangnam?
Even the goldfish bread is skinny.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Is there something on my face?
Sun-young.
Why didn't you tell me?
Did my brother tell you?
Girl.
We see each other every day.
Why do I hear about that from Tae-yong?
Also Moo-sung.
What is it?
You haven't heard, right?
Heard what?
She didn't tell you.
What are you talking about? Who's she?
My younger sister Sun-young.
Why?
I was going to tell you.
But she told me not to,
saying she'd tell you herself.
It's that
Moo-sung.
I didn't tell you
because I'm so humiliated.
Geez, what are you embarrassed about?
I'm like your older brother!
I'm not embarrassed at my catheter
or the state I'm in.
Sun-young.
As you live,
sometimes you become indebted to others
or inconvenience others.
Everyone lives like that.
Don't suffer too much on your own.
I only wanted you to see
me living a good life.
What the--
You're living a good life!
How could anyone live a better life?
You've raised Sun-woo and Jin-ju so well.
That's an incredible feat in itself.
You run your household well,
and you raise your children well.
You even take good care
of your older friend from your hometown.
If you hadn't called me to Seoul
at that time,
I would have still been drinking all day,
unable to forget Taek's mom.
Thank you
for calling me here.
That's nothing.
Oh, geez.
Hello?
FALL, 1977
Oh, Sun-young?
BONGHWANG, GIMHAE, SOUTH GYEONGSANG
How could I go to Seoul?
I'm just going to stay here.
Come up to Seoul!
If you stay there,
you won't forget about Min-joo.
She passed away!
It'd be better for Taek
to grow up in Seoul.
Come move to our neighborhood.
Seoul is no place for a person to live.
I can't live in a place like that.
Moo-sung, it's even more rural here
than in Gimhae.
Everyone here is so nice.
Trust me and move up here.
You have to live your own life!
How long will you cling to Min-joo?
Are you Taek?
You are, right?
Wow you're so pretty looking!
You don't look like your dad at all.
The heavens helped you out.
Let's go have dinner at my place.
Come on! Let's go.
Let's go, let's go!
Let's go, let's go!
Moving to Seoul was
the best thing I ever did.
If not for the people in the neighborhood,
I'd already be dead this time.
I'm indebted and have inconvenienced
people, so I feel sorry.
But I'm not going to worry.
There'll be days when I can repay it.
You don't try to do everything
on your own, either.
So you're indebted to other people.
So what?
Here is 10 million won.
Take it. My arm hurts.
No, Moo-sung I won't accept this.
Girl, have you heard anything
I just said?
Take it!
I'm not giving this to you.
I'm lending it. Okay?
You can pay me back later.
Take it!
And this
I'm giving this to you.
Get your wrist fixed
while I'm saying it nicely.
I've made all the arrangements
with the doctor.
You just have to check in
on the first floor.
You can come any time.
You'd better go. All right?
When Tae-yong came by,
he didn't worry about me one bit.
He just worried about you
the whole time.
Stop making him worry.
Ask for help when you need to.
And when you're having a hard time,
say so.
Don't live life in such a difficult way.
Eat the goldfish bread.
Here.
Speaking of which
just how many did you buy?
How many is this?
We can finish them.
Geez. You always get so much.
I'll eat them all!
I can take some home too.
Are Gangnam's goldfish breads
different?
How can we finish this?
I thought these would be different.
-I
-Yeah.
Photo.
Photo?
With him.
Oh, with Taek?
Geez Of course I can do that much.
Deok-sun. Let's go upstairs.
Taek, Jangpyo wants to take a photo
with you.
Okay.
His name is Jangpyo?
You two are friends now!
We became friendly while arguing.
Hey. Smile a bit.
Okay.
One, two, three!
Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
What about you two?
I'll take a photo for you.
-Us?
-Go stand there.
Go! It's fine!
He takes a great photo.
-Hurry. Go and stand together.
-Go, go.
Geez, I don't look pretty today.
You look pretty.
Really?
Yeah. Your clothes are pretty, too.
These clothes look okay?
Yeah.
They're your clothes.
Okay I'm taking it now!
One, two, three!
Honey. When was this?
DECEMBER 2015
I told you to wear warmer clothes.
You really don't listen.
January, 1989.
Wow. You remember
the most peculiar things!
This was the best day of your life, right?
Right?
How could you remember something
that happened 30 years ago so well?
You remember everything about me, right?
Do you need reading glasses already?
The date is written on the bottom.
You're embarrassed, right?
I bet you are.
Want some water?
No, thanks. Choke some down yourself.
NEIGHBORHOOD BUS
Bo-ra. Are you okay?
There are no more buses,
so I called a cab.
It will be here in 30 minutes.
You're not ill, are you?
No.
What do you want to eat?
Oh, they don't have anything you like.
It's fine. Order whatever.
Excuse me!
Yes.
Can we have two bowls of soondae soup
The soup tastes okay.
This young man kept asking me, so
Thank you.
What a great time!
I didn't say anything.
Sun-woo, how old are you?
Excuse me?
How old are you?
Eighteen. Why all of the sudden?
I've been watching you for 18 years.
Have I ever gotten angry at you
in all those years?
I've bitched out all the other kids,
but I don't think I ever did to you.
Right?
Yes.
You're such a good kid.
You're kind, righteous,
and smart.
I do like you, as a person.
Can't we just go back
to the way we were before?
I don't want to ruin
this relationship with you.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want to.
I don't like this relationship with you.
It has no meaning to me.
Let's go to the concert together.
Not as friends,
but as a man and a woman.
A line indicates a limit.
Maintaining that boundary means
maintaining the familiarity
and the world, the rules,
and the relations of that familiarity.
This also means
if we were to never cross that line,
we would never experience the world,
rules, and relationships
outside of the boundary.
If we wish for a new relationship
and new love,
we must cross the line.
If we were to not cross the line,
we will stay
that far away from each other.
Of course, there are some lines
that should never be crossed.
Excuse me?
You are him right?
You are.
That person him!
It's him!
Chun Doo-hwan!
He's here!
Throw this crap out!
Bring all of those back, as they are.
Geez.
That's strange.
What's the reason?
I don't know.
He doesn't know, either. No one knows.
I haven't seen Jung-bong all day.
Do you know where he went?
Stop right there!
Okay, don't go anywhere.
He's not that type of kid.
So annoying!
Don't concern yourself over me.
How do you know when and where
you might meet the man you're fated for?
Of course I'm a man, not a woman.
I have something to say.
To me?
Excuse me! You have to come in now.
Yes, just a moment.
I CAN'T GO
What if he really likes me?
You two really do suit each other.
Good luck!
What are you doing here?
I have something to ask you.
You know
