[February 1989] [Seoul, Dobong-gu, Ssangmundong]
Dad. Can't we move?
There you go again.
It's too cold! I feel like I'll freeze to death!
If you're cold, you can just layer up like I did!
I've been doing that since November, okay?
Look at how cold Bo Ra's hand is! It's like ice!
Damn it!
She usually has cold limbs.
I'm sorry. Just bear it for a bit longer.
We're almost done paying off our debts.
I have nothing to say. I'm sorry.
Oh yeah... Where did your mom go, so early in the morning?
She just put this on the stove and left.
Let's eat.
Did Mother go somewhere?
I don't know.
She put on a bunch of makeup and headed out this morning.
Say "Ah!"
Where did Mom go?
I don't know. She didn't tell me either.
Say "Ah."
What is it that you're curious about?
Our three kids are all the same age. They're all going to be seniors...
and my son is a decent student...
will he be able to get into Seoul University?
And what about my son? Will he be able to get in, too?
I have a daughter... will she be able to make it into any college in Seoul?
Ask one at a time.
Then, I'll go first.
My son is pretty good at studying
but luck plays a big part in taking exams, so...
He'll be able to get into Seoul University, right?
You'll have great fortune.
What?
This year, your eldest son will have great fortune.
Excuse me?
Oh my... how strange!
How did she know that you had an older son?
My eldest son?
Yeah... the younger one will do fine on his own
and your older son... you know, the one who always causes you grief...
By "Great fortune," what do you mean, exactly?
Do I need to tell you all that?
No... no, no, no.
Ma'am... by "this year," do you mean the Lunar calendar
or the Gregorian calendar?
Foolish girl. Of course I mean the Lunar calendar.
There isn't much time left in the year, then!
It'll be the Lunar New Year soon!
Yeah.
There isn't even a week left in the Lunar year.
Oh my... what if he wins the lottery again?
Is there something that comes to mind?
- What is it? - Huh?
The announcement for the wait-listed candidates will be announced soon!
- Oh my god! - Congratulations!
Your suffering is over now! Congratulations!
Oh my God... there was something that important coming up!
It must be that!
If you're all going to chatter among yourselves, go to a coffee shop!
Next.
What about my son? Will he be able to make it into Seoul University?
I see a greater happiness than that... in your fate.
Excuse me?
In my fate? Mine?
What is it, exactly?
[Fortune Teller]
What?
Stop laughing. Life is full of twists and turns.
Also, doesn't it seem like I'm getting prettier lately?
No, you haven't gotten any prettier.
Next.
Yes.
Um... I have a daughter
- But she-- - Really sucks at studying, right?
- Yes! - She's so on-point!
She really couldn't study to save her life.
I'm not even hoping for her to get into a college in Seoul
and I'd be satisfied if she got into any sort of college whatsoever
but will my Duk Seon be able to make it into college?
- Change it. - Change what, ma'am?
Her name is the problem. Her name is Duk Seon?
Yes... yes, it is. Sung Duk Seon.
Her name is the problem.
Because of her name, she's doing poorly in school.
Change her name and don't call her Duk Seon until she goes to college.
Don't even use that name anymore. Got it?
Also, just be aware that the rank of the college she'll go to
will get lower and lower every time you call her Duk Seon.
Got that?
Yes. I'll never call her Duk Seon... I mean, I won't call her that ever again.
Then, ma'am, what should I call my daughter?
Soo Yeon!
Soo Yeon, what are you doing? I told you to take the stew.
Okay.... here we go.
Mom, who's Soo Yeon? Is someone coming over?
You're Soo Yeon starting today, okay?
Why?
They said that we have to call her Soo Yeon for her to get into college.
Freaking bullshit...
Don't you dare call Duk Seon, Duk Seon from now on. Call her Soo Yeon.
They said that every time you call her Duk Seon
the rank of the college she'll go to will drop. Got that?
Is there even a college that would take her?
What a load of bull. Why are we changing her perfectly fine name?
What's wrong with Duk Seon? It's a nice name!
Soo Yeon. Soo Yeon!
What the hell are you saying?
They said that, if you call her Duk Seon
you have to say "Soo Yeon" right away to nullify the bad luck.
You think I'd be doing this if there were no other option?
I like it!
What good will it do if it's only us that calls her Soo Yeon?
Everyone else will still call her Duk Seon.
Soo Yeon.
I've told everyone in town. They'll all call her Soo Yeon.
Way to freaking go.
You think that's something you can decide to do overnight?
You're the issue! You just have to call her by the proper name.
Got that?
Why can't I say my own daughter's name as I please? Huh?
Duk Seon is a great name! Duk Seon! Duk Seon! Duk Seon!
Duk Seon! Duk Seon!
Soo Yeon! Soo Yeon! Soo Yeon! Soo Yeon! Soo Yeon! Soo Yeon!
Eat up, Soo Yeon!
Soo Yeon... you'll really have to study hard.
Why are you pushing the table toward me? If you have an issue, just spit it out!
What are you talking about? I didn't do anything!
Dad. The table always leans toward the stomach of whoever sits there.
What the hell are you saying?
It keeps leaning toward me because you're pushing it!
I told you, I didn't!
Then did it move by itself? Or did the floor become slanted? Geez...
So frustrating.
That's my line!
What? Here, look!
Look, if I drop it and it sits still, the floor is fine!
But if it rolls, the floor is slanted!
Look!
Look, see? It rolled!
Wait... that's weird.
Look! If I drop it, it should sit still!
Just watch!
Dad. Where do we sleep now?
Where do you mean? We'll have to sleep at the owner's place!
Ugh... that'll be inconvenient, though.
Why? It'll be awesome!
It's a hundred times better than our place.
- Okay. Bo Ra and Duk Seon... - Soo Yeon.
Even if it's a bit inconvenient, bear it for a bit.
They said that the construction will be over in three days.
It's not inconvenient at all, Dad. I love that house.
[Episode 11: Three Different Prophecies]
["Don't Sleep!" Study Room]
Should I go on the blind date?
Well, should I?
Don't go.
Don't go on the blind date.
I got dumped.
How come? Did you confess, by any chance?
- Are you crazy? - She must be.
Hey. For girls like us, our love is over on the day we confess.
Don't you know that?
You sure have some nerve!
How could you confess?
We're people who just have to be satisfied with unrequited love!
If we confess, we'd get rejected immediately!
What's with you? Seriously... it's not like this is a new occurrence for us.
So naive...
Even so, just in case...
- Geez. - Geez.
Oh yeah. Duk Seon.
It's Soo Yeon.
Yeah... Soo Yeon. What happened with you?
Did you tell him about the blind date?
He told her not to go on the blind date!
Hey, see? I told you I was certain this time.
Even so, you can't confess first, no matter what.
Wait until he confesses.
Crying made me hungry. Let's go to Brazil Ddukbokki.
Okay.
You two go. I have to go home.
What the hell? You go crazy for ddukbokki.
I like Duk Seon.
Not as a friend, but as a woman.
Jung Hwan! Come out and have dinner!
Okay!
Oh, Jung Hwan!
Come over here. Here.
What are you doing? It's still not done?
It's almost done! Just wait a bit longer!
What's for dinner tonight?
What's Mom doing?
She's making Western food since we're all having dinner together
for the first time in a while.
- What, exactly? - Hamburg steak.
Huh?
You know, I've only ever seen photos of Hamburg steak... I've never had it.
Mi Ran, give it to us already! We'll starve to death!
All right, already!
Wow... so this is Hamburg steak?
It looks kind of like grilled short rib patties.
There's not much to it, really.
What about Mr. Sung? Isn't it about time for him to have come home?
He's working a late shift today. Is there anything I can help you with?
Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Oh, the soup? - Yeah.
Okay.
Hello!
Oh, is that you, Sun Woo? What about your mom?
She went to go get Mr. Choi. She'll be here soon.
Sit.
Hello.
You're here?
Mi Ran, did you go all the way to the US to buy steak, or--
Be careful. Here.
Let's have some of this soup thing first.
Be careful.
Mom, what is this?
Is it pumpkin porridge?
It's just because she gave us so much... it does look like soup. Looks great.
I bet I could take a bath in this for three days straight.
Mi Ran! What about the steak? Hurry up with--
Steak's here!
I put a lot of work into this.
This looks different than how it looks like at the restaurant.
What's with this kimchi on the side? It doesn't fit here.
It was really oily when we had it at the restaurant.
So I made some special fusion cuisine. Eat up.
- Thank you. - Thank you for the food!
It's delicious.
After tasting the steak and the radish kimchi together
it feels like Eastern and Western culture are coming together
it almost feels as if I'm tasting hellenism itself.
Why, did I misuse the word "Hellenism?"
No, you used it correctly.
But... where's Duk Seon? Why isn't Duk Seon coming?
Soo Yeon. Soo Yeon.
Ah yes... I mean Soo Yeon.
She went to the study room. She said she'd be back for dinner though...
- Oh. - Oh dear.
We're here!
- Hello. - Welcome!
Oh... "We're" here, eh? How nice.
It's too crowded here. Let's have the adults eat at the table.
Honey, get up.
- Okay. - Here we go.
What about Taek? You should have brought him over, too.
The day after tomorrow is his title match.
So he's studying his brains out and won't even come out of his room.
Oh... the title match, huh? So it's to protect his current title, right?
Yes, but... his opponent this time is his mentor, so...
I guess he feels really nervous.
Missus. Why did you squish the short ribs and make them so flat?
Geez, you country hick... this isn't short ribs.
It's "Skate."
It's steak.
Oh... "Skaekuh?"
"Steak."
It's "Hamburg Skaeki!"
It's something that Westerners eat.
And what's this? Is this snot soup? It's so gooey.
Sun Young, can you give me more water?
Even so, we should go give some to Taek.
He's not even eating.
I'm here!
- Oh, Duk Seon! - Oh, Duk Seon! Welcome!
Soo Yeon!
Soo... Yeon.
- Hi, Soo Yeon. - Hi, Soo Yeon.
Mom, I want short ribs too!
Soo Yeon, can you go drop this off at Taek's?
He didn't come?
He has a match on the day after tomorrow so he won't budge from his room.
Even if he doesn't eat the short ribs, make sure he has some soup, okay?
Okay.
Hey, eat all of that before it cools.
Okay.
It won't taste good if it cools.
- Duk Seon. - It's Soo Yeon.
Who's Soo Yeon?
Me. I'm Soo Yeon. Call me Soo Yeon from now on.
That's the only way I'll be able to get into college.
Are you... laughing at me?
No. Are you crazy?
Hey, don't you mess with me. I've been letting you off the hook a lot lately.
Okay.
But, um, Duk Seon...
It's Soo Yeon, you idiot!
Yeah... Soo Yeon.
Can you make me some coffee?
And mix milk into it, like before.
Okay.
Focus on what you're doing.
Okay?
Soo Yeon!
Can I have some water?
Soo Yeon!
I heard that Taek's receiving a lot of fan letters lately.
If there's a decent girl among them
you can take one of them as your daughter-in-law!
He's not the type to choose someone so readily.
It's not like he's the type to show it if he likes someone.
I'll bet he'll be silent and not say a word.
Taek shows it if he likes someone.
How? How does it show it?
Sun Young, can you get me some more sauce for this?
Sure. Sauce, sauce...
It's not like he'd act all cutesy, right?
Oh, of course not.
He's like me in the sense that he doesn't know how to act cute.
Sun Young, can you pass me more tissues?
Here.
So, how does Taek show that he likes someone?
How does he act in front of the person he likes?
He's a bit clingy. What?
If he has someone he likes, he acts clingy toward them.
He asks them to do a lot of things too.
But he acts really polite toward people that he doesn't like.
Sun Young, can you get me a smaller bowl?
- Sure. - Thanks.
Geez... stop asking Sun Young to do everything.
I did?
Sun Young, no need for the bowl.
I want warm water.
You little... why, I ought to!
Hey! You do it!
All you do is play Baduk... Are you a noble? Am I your servant? Huh?
- Huh? Huh? Huh? - Ow! Ow! It hurts!
You have a kettle right there! Do it yourself!
Okay! Sheesh! Geez... you hit so hard.
- Hey. - Yeah?
The plug.
Oh.
Geez... hey, give it here.
It's fine. I can do it.
Geez...
Your nose is bleeding.
Um... Duk Seon.
Soo Yeon.
Yeah... Soo Yeon...
Get some sleep.
I'll... be working.
Why isn't Soo Yeon back yet?
It's been a while since she left.
I guess she's eating with Taek.
They're on about the same level.
Bo Ra. Meet me in the alleyway in ten minutes.
Get away from me.
What are you two doing? I don't know what it is, but can you let me in on it, too?
- Let's do it together! - Me too!
No... it's nothing. I just have to ask her something.
When did you say that the wait-listed acceptances were being announced, again?
Geez... you're so mean.
Jung Bong, I'll be going. No Eul, I'm off to the study room.
See you later.
[Magic Princess Minky]
Your and my Minky... Minky, Minky!
Magic Princess Minky, Minky, Minky!
She rode the light down, Princess Minky, Minky!
Mom, I'm going to the study room!
Jin Joo, your older brother's gone, right?
Right?
Honey. I'm going to make a delivery.
At this time of night?
There's one delivery I forgot to make. I'll be back soon.
He sure is diligent.
He's only diligent when it comes to his job.
He's not diligent in this room at all.
Geez... I shouldn't have said that. Never mind.
Oh yeah. Did your travel document come out?
Oh, you mean my "Passport?"
Ooh... let me have a look at it!
Wow... you look so pretty! You must be so happy!
You even get to go abroad.
It's only Japan. It'll be short. There isn't even a time difference.
When are you leaving?
The day before Lunar New Year. So there's three days left.
Geez... I can't believe I'm spending the New Year in Tokyo.
What about the kids? Are you sending them to your mother's place?
Yeah, I told them to spend the New Years at the orphanage.
Where's Sun Young, though? We have to get started, already.
- Missus! - Oh, hey!
Hi, you!
Missus. Can you watch Jin Joo for a little bit?
Where are you going? We have to play Go-Stop.
Starting today, I'm working as a cleaner at Uksoo Bathhouse.
- What? - What?
I have to work there from 8:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
I have to earn some money.
If Sun Woo finds out, he'll be angry.
It's not like he'll find out! He's busy going to the study room nowadays.
He comes home for dinner, but doesn't come back until late after that.
He's just like his father in that way! He never comes home before 1:00 a.m.
But why are you working all of the sudden?
Are you short on money? Do you need some?
No, it's not like that! No need to borrow money when my limbs work fine.
Also, it's not because I'm really strapped for cash.
I have to save more money for Sun Woo's college tuition.
Thankfully, being a cleaner at a bathhouse is an easy job.
It's not like I need to know any specialized skills.
Won't Jin Joo ask for you?
Geez... don't you worry about that! Just this will take care of it.
You and my Minky, Minky, Minky!
Magic Princess Minky, Minky, Minky!
Oh, you're so good! Yes, yes!
I feel like she's going to get caught...
Well, this won't do. Go-Stop isn't fun with just two people.
What's the problem?
There's one person who's lounging about because it's winter break.
Bo Ra!
What took you so long? It's been 15 minutes.
Are you trying to advertise to the whole world that we're dating?
Who's watching? There isn't anyone here.
Hey. How can you eat that so late at night?
- Oh, Sun Woo! - Oh... hey.
What are you two doing?
Oh, it's because I have something to talk about with Bo Ra.
At this time of night?
Just the two of you?
What are you talking about, exactly? You can just talk at home.
No... it's nothing much.
I had something I was curious about while studying
and I happened to run into her on the street...
Hey. Piss off.
What's it to you what we're doing?
Don't try to pry into adult matters and piss off.
Okay.
Um... Bo Ra.
Do you have any coins, by any chance?
Thanks.
Let's go.
There's definitely something going on between the two of them!
Jung Bong. Doesn't it seem like the two of them--
Whoa.
[You lose! Try again next time!]
Damn it, I lost again! Geez!
It's okay.
If you have a couple more, you will get the "Free bag" coupon for sure!
Don't get so upset over something like that.
Just how many bags did you eat?
Two whole boxes' worth.
I always lose. I've never gotten the "Free bag" coupon once.
- Jung Bong. - Yes?
- Watch Jin Joo. - Okay. Are you going somewhere?
To go earn some money.
All right... let's see just how skilled our dean is!
Missus, you deal.
It's fine. We're all friends here.
I heard that you're quite a skilled player.
No, no. I've only played with the teachers at school a couple of times.
I'm a total newbie.
Then, shall I try to win some money from Ssangmun High's dean?
Yes, let's! Shall we?
Okay... let's start.
Here we go.
Ooh, boy!
But, um... what's Joo So Ya Dae? (System to determine who goes first.)
Oh my... we're playing with a person who doesn't even know what Joo So Ya Dae is!
I feel so bad!
You learn through practice.
Oh, then I'll just choose anything!
Wow, that's a good one!
Then I'll... Oh no, I'm last!
Okay, let's go!
Hey, high school senior. Hurry up and go study.
You have to become a notable figure one day.
I don't need to go to the study room today though.
I just left the house for no reason.
Want to go see a movie?
No. I'm busy. I have a lot of things to study for.
Why would you be busy? It's winter break,
There's something I'm preparing for. You don't need to know about it.
Then, when will we go on a date?
We did, just now.
I'm cold. Bye.
Are you out of your mind? Want to die?
Do I have to be prepared to lose my life if I want to hold your hand?
Yeah. So do it if you have a death wish. Got it?
I'm off.
I'll go in front of your house later! See you later!
I'm going to be sleeping. See you tomorrow.
It's so cold.... Sun Woo, pass me some blankets.
Geez...
Thanks.
[To Mr. Jung Bong.]
[Jung Bong. Hello.]
What am I supposed to write?
Here we go! Yeah!
One each... One Go!
Here we go... Two Go!
Okay... Three Go!
Okay... there... wow!
I feel so bad.
Wait, what? You played with Mr. Yoo?
Geez... He isn't even human! You shouldn't even associate with him!
You have to be really alert when you're playing against him.
What are you talking about?
Speaking of which, how much did he win?
120 won!
Geez... that guy. Don't worry. I'll win you ten times what you lost.
So make sure you have him over again this evening.
Just wait for me.
Mr. Sung over here is known as "The Mr. Yoo Killer!"
I'll close the store early today and come home earlier.
It's the end of the lunar year, so I won't have many customers anyway.
Um... When are they announcing the wait-listed candidates?
It'll probably be hard for him to get in this time, right?
It's tomorrow. He really has to get in this time.
We're having a hard time, so imagine how much harder it is for him.
It's because he hasn't said anything, but I'm sure he's taking it hard too.
I'm sure it's hard for the whole household.
The wait-listed acceptances will be announced tomorrow.
The announcements will be made until the seventh.
Many of the wait-listed candidates decided to retake the exam instead
so the probability for the other wait-listed candidates to be accepted
has increased considerably.
However, Han Sung University is reported to have
the lowest chance for wait-listed candidates to get into...
Yes, hello?
Oh, Sun Woo? Oh, okay, I'll put Jung Hwan on. Just a minute.
I'm going to take a shower.
Hey. What the hell are you looking at?
Hey. Why are you calling again?
Wait a bit before going in.
It's foggy in there, so it'll be hard to see.
Oh... That's fine.
Okay.
No Eul. Have you taken a bath there yet?
Soo Yeon... Who says "Bath" anymore? So uncouth.
It's a "Shower."
It's so nice and warm! Not cold at all!
Right? And we don't even need to wear shoes!
I wish we could live here forever.
With Jung Bong!
Oh yeah, Jung Bong. Have the wait list results come out yet?
Or is that tomorrow?
You're so mean... seriously.
What did I do?
Let's not be like this to each other... seriously.
Soo Yeon. Give me your laundry. I'm doing laundry now.
You too, No Eul.
I don't have any.
Me neither. I just washed my own clothes while I was showering.
Don't you dare buy anything on the way home... I'll lock you out. Got it?
Okay, already!
And you, honey... please, buy something on the way home... please.
I have been buying a lot of things lately.
Should I buy a steamed bun on the way home?
You love those.
Buy a whole pack, not just one, Damn it!
One pack, okay! Stop yelling. Geez.
Anyway, you two have to come home early so we can get revenge, okay?
Okay, okay. I'm leaving before the bank closes.
I'll close the store early and come home earlier.
Geez...
Honey! I'm home!
Mi Ran! I bough an entire pack! Huh? This flowerpot...
Those earrings aren't heavy, Jin Joo?
What do you want to be when you grow up, Jin Joo?
Magic Princess Minky!
Minky?
When you're done eating, I'll buy you a magic wand.
Really?
Um... Sun Woo, isn't it time for you to go study?
It's already 8:00 p.m. Mom, I'm off! Bye, Jin Joo!
- Okay! Study hard! - Okay!
Jin Joo, don't eat that. Let's go.
[You Lose! Try again next time!]
Jung Bong. I'll leave her to you.
May the odds be in your favor, Mother!
Wow, he's totally booked for all of February.
There are always the most competitions in the wintertime.
You're his friend and you don't know that?
But I think that tomorrow's match will the the toughest on him.
He's spending the night at the Baduk Club tonight.
- Jung Hwan. - Yeah?
Did the dean leave your house yet? Take a look.
What took you so long? You're five minutes late.
I bet I'm the only girl who drops her boyfriend off to the study room.
Geez...
It's because we don't have time to go on dates.
Did you have a late dinner?
I only get to see you for a bit after dinner.
Then, let's eat dinner together.
I don't have to have dinner at home.
No, but I have to.
How come?
If I don't, Jin Joo and Mom will have to have dinner by themselves.
Even though it's winter break, I want to have dinner with them.
You're such a good kid.
I like you because you're so good.
- Is that all? - Yeah. Just that one trait.
I have a lot, though.
A lot of what?
Reasons why I like you, I mean.
Whatever. Shut it. I don't want to hear them.
Don't say anything!
But, you know... I liked your old glasses more.
You know, the round ones. The ones that look like Lee Sun Hee's.
They were a lot prettier.
It's my face, so I'll do as I please. Don't try to tell me what to do.
Also, you only wear pants when you come to see me!
Hurry it up!
[Lee Moon Sae Lunar New Year's Live Concert]
You guys are going, right?
No thanks. I don't want to go to a man's concert.
What about you, Jung Hwan?
He'll probably go. He's a fan of Lee Moon Sae.
You're going, right?
No. I can't.
I wonder if Taek will go? His schedule is really packed this month.
How come? Did something happen?
He doesn't go anywhere during competition time, so he won't budge...
But then again, if Duk Seon says she'll go, I bet he'd follow her there.
Wait, no. To the Almighty Master Choi, Baduk is more important that a woman.
Some woman...
You really can't go?
Yeah, I can't.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Then, who else is there? Taek, Jung Hwan... Sun Woo...
Oh, there's Sun Woo. Go with him. He likes Lee Moon Sae too.
Sure, he may love Lee Sun Hee, but he likes Lee Moon Sae just as much.
Not liking Lee Moon Sae at our age is pretty difficult--
Shut it, already.
Lee Moon Sae...
When you're alone, the emptiness usually filled by the wife seems to grow larger.
For coffee, there's always Prima.
Want a steamed bun?
No, that's okay.
Mister, you're not playing Go-Stop with the others?
I don't know how to play.
And all the folks over there are pros so the stakes are quite high.
What? Really?
Okay, here we go...
Okay... five, six... seven points!
And since I shook it, 14 points.
And since Ms. Cheetah has no defensive maneuvers, 28 points.
Ms. Cheetah, 280 won. Mr. Sung, 140 won! Thank you!
Wow, you're so good. How much did you say it was?
280 won.
You're losing too much money. Switch to a different game.
The first round barely matters anyway.
Anyway, Mr. Yoo, deal me some good cards, okay?
Okay.
Okay. Shall we play for real now?
What? They're playing Go-Stop with my dad?
Yeah. They said they played yesterday, too.
Why? Is there a reason they can't?
I bet there will be a huge fight tonight.
Geez... he's so humiliating! Damn it...
Do you know what my father's nickname was, when he was a bachelor?
Geez... I'll have to pace myself during this round.
Oh my... what do I do? Oh geez...
What the hell are you doing?
Let's stop playing games here.
Put the Heuksal cards back where they were.
They're mine, though.
They're yours, huh?
Those have been there since before... so what are you saying?
How could a teacher be such a con artist?
If you do that again, I'm going to smash your fingers.
Let's play properly, all right? I'm not falling for it anymore.
"Nampodong's Con Artist."
They call him that because he cheats all the time while playing Go-Stop!
What a terrible nickname... So embarrassing!
But it won't work against my dad. You know where my dad works, right?
Hanil Bank.
But what does that have to do with anything?
Do you know which department?
Two points with the Chungdan... 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 points.
Oh, geez...
You have a death wish?
I'll be aiming for your wrist next time.
He works in the Inspection Department.
And what does that department do?
Fraud detection.
He catches people who try to use company funds or scam others.
Four points. And I have a Chungdan, so seven, eight, nine points.
You have a Pibak. 18 points. 180 won.
And Mr. Con Artist Teacher over here...
Pibak and Gwangbak, so 36 points. 360 won.
Give it here.
Please be a good role model to the students, all right?
Oh my, my husband's so good!
I'm going to take all the money here and buy you a mink coat.
Sseul.
Jo.
Ohgwang.
Chodan.
Hongdan.
Chungdan.
Godori.
You think my mom is just sitting around while your dad plays Go-Stop?
My mom's Ra Mi Ran, all right?
Big trouble. Looks like he's going to win big time!
Oh yeah!
Oh my, oh my, oh my... I got Sseul, again!
Now let's see here, Ms. Cheetah... Gwangbak, Pibak... Oh my.
I'm going to get a glass of water.
Hey, stop right there!
We're in the middle of something important!
Don't you move. Stay here.
Don't move anything. Hurry up and go.
Oh geez.
If you get Go this time, you'll have Five-Go, right?
Wow, Five-Go! We have it in the bag!
Oh Honey, I think you'll have to visit the hospital a lot this winter.
Why the hospital?
Geez... if you wear the mink coat and you get heat rashes
you'll have to get it treated, won't you?
Who cares about heat rashes when it looks like I'm getting myself a fur coat?
This is great!
She may not be as skilled when it comes to game play but this is...
What's her IQ?
It's not related to IQ.
She has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
Jin Joo, you have to scratch it with the utmost prudence.
Jin Joo... Let's go! One more bag! Let's go!
[You lose! Try again next time!]
Jin Joo, you have no luck either, do you?
Jin Joo. Want to play with me?
- Oh my. - Oh my! Our Jin Joo's here!
Come over here!
Hi Jin Joo.
Geez... a player should hurry and come back!
What took you so long?
Okay, I'll say it one more time.
Okay, Five-Go!
Oh my... Oh my, really!
It looks like I'm going to get myself a really big one!
Let me say this one more time.
Five-Go!
Looks like I'll be wearing a fur coat now!
Oh my... Jin Joo!
- Geez... - Geez!
Stay still for a bit! Geez! What do we do?
It's all ruined! Oh no!
Geez... what do we do?
Jin Joo!
Why?
Jin Joo!
Magic Princess Minky, Minky, Minky!
Geez...
Good morning!
You're leaving a bit late today.
Yes...
- Um, Mr. Yoo. - Yes?
It's not over till it's over, all right?
Excuse me?
We have to have a proper round two tonight.
Oh, but the thing is... I'm going to Pusan tonight.
It's the Lunar New Year, after all!
Have a good new year. A happy new year!
The land of dreams and magic flew away into space...
I wonder what kind of dream is in store for us today?
As according to the new freedom of travel regulation that has been passed
people will now be able to receive traveler's passports without limitation
regardless of age or frequency of travel.
Therefore, the number of people traveling abroad has increased...
You're leaving tomorrow, right?
Yeah.
I'm so envious.
Geez... I wonder when I'll ever be able to take an airplane...
What are you jealous about? You have two daughters.
I'm sure there will be lots of reasons for you
to take an airplane in the future.
I guess passports are issued relatively quickly nowadays.
I heard that you had to have at least 2 million won in the bank
and it was such a hassle.
It's simple nowadays.
All you need to submit is an application, your social security number
and your criminal record.
Then it comes out really quickly. And it's valid for three years.
Three years? Wow, that's so long!
The system's gotten a lot better!
Geez... what does it matter if the system's gotten better?
It's not like I have any money.
I'm so jealous of you. You don't have a care in the world!
Why wouldn't I? I have that one thing.
You mean Jung Bong?
They're announcing the results at 2:00 p.m. today.
Really... if Jung Bong got into college, I wouldn't want anything else!
He will. Don't worry.
Geez... didn't the medium tell you that he had huge luck coming his way?
It'll go well today.
I'm going to put my faith in a medium, just this once.
That way, Soo Yeon will be able to go to college, too.
Then what about Sun Young? Is she going to "Get into trouble" again?
What do you mean, "Trouble?" For her, it'd be a blessing!
She's still young, after all.
But if she does, she'll have to hurry up and meet a man and "Cause some trouble."
When will she meet a man to "Cause trouble" with?
There isn't much time left.
It doesn't take much time for it to happen, you know.
No need to worry about time.
Geez... Where did you meet your husband?
Oh yeah! You said you met him at the orphanage, right?
Yeah.
Yep, I met him at the orphanage.
Want me to tell you the story?
Oh, you even listen to songs like these?
Geez... you're so high-class.
Geez... It's only Vivaldi.
Even when we were all broke together, you had a different air about you.
I thought to myself, "She's so smart, so why did she come to Ssangmundong?"
Because of love.
I used to work in the financial sector.
I think I was the best at that at the orphanage.
I was a good worker.
And then, I met Jung Bong's dad.
And I liked him a bit more than he liked me.
Oh my, oh my!
He was quite handsome back in the day.
Why? He's good-looking now, too.
No. He's a mess now. All shriveled up.
Anyway... I went to the terminal because of an errand I had to do...
and I saw him standing there at the gate.
He looked like Buddha himself.
He was enveloped in light... from head to toe!
Jung Hwan...
You're really not going to the concert?
The Lee Moon Sae concert.
I have plans with my friends.
What plans?
I'm going to Seoul Land with my friends.
Which friends?
Just some friends. You wouldn't know even if I told you.
You have friends that I don't know about?
Yeah, I do.
Sorry. Let's go together next time.
I have to change.
Okay.
It's time. It's time.
Ah yes, hello.
Yes, the Law School.
His number is... 863757.
- Just a moment. - Okay.
Hello?
Ah, yes?
I'm sorry, but he didn't make it.
Were the results announced? How did it go?
Honey, where are you going?
To see that fortune teller to argue with her.
Forget it. Forget it! What are you saying?
Big fortune? Big fortune, my ass.
More like big misfortune!
I won't stand for it.
Come on, don't be like that. What good will that do?
There's nothing we can do about it now.
If she'd been straightforward with me, I wouldn't have had any expectations.
She's made a fool of me!
I'm going to give her a piece of my mind.
- No. - Don't do it!
- Let go of me! - Honey!
- Missus... - Damn it!
- Calm down! - Let go! Let go!
- I'm going to.. - Honey.
- Please, just-- - Let go!
- Honey! - Please!
I bet the mood over there is so grim right now.
Geez... I knew it from the moment that she started saying strange things.
Yes. I'm about to have lunch now.
It's about time for Sun Woo to come back from the study room.
Then... send Bo Ra, Jung Hwan, and Soo Yeon... no, it's Duk Seon now.
All the kids and Duk Seon and No Eul here.
They won't be able to have a meal over there.
I'll whip up some really delicious kimchi fried rice.
Yes.
Geez.... really.
I thought I'd maybe fix up my fate this year, but I guess not.
I'll make the kimchi fried rice really delicious this time.
What about Jung Hwan? Where did he go?
He went on an errand for his mother.
He said he was going to the travel agency.
Oh... what about Bo Ra? I don't see her, either.
I don't know. She left right after eating breakfast.
And when I asked her where she was going
I got acquainted with her fist.
Oh my... She hits you, too?
I thought she only did that to Duk Seon...
I'm Soo Yeon.
You're Duk Seon again.
What?
There's just something that came up, okay?
I thought she only hit Duk Seon... she's really something!
Geez... what unfortunate guy will take her as his bride? It worries me.
But um... when did she say she'd be back?
I don't know. I'd have to be prepared to lose my life to ask something like that.
Oh geez... our poor No Eul.
No Eul, want to live at my place instead?
I'd be happy anywhere as long as it's not our house.
Is that right?
Get up. Jung Bong is hungry.
You have to feed him, at least!
Why should I?
There you go again!
You sure are greedy, Honey.
We weren't even thinking that he'd make it off the wait list in the first place.
Don't displace your anger on our child over what some medium said.
Geez, our Mi Ran is so sweet. My wife is the best!
Shut it!
Jung Bong, let's have some--
Bonggie. It's okay.
It's not like we'd expected you to get it in the first place.
A man shouldn't have his shoulders slumped.
Geez... You're making my heart hurt!
Hurry. Come out here and have lunch. I'm hungry, too.
Bonggie.
I'll be waiting for you then, okay? Hurry and come out.
But... where did Jung Hwan go?
I sent him to the travel agency to make a payment for me.
You still didn't pay? We're leaving tomorrow!
The due date is today. It's fine.
Hurry and eat, and go to the bathhouse.
But... I don't want to.
We're going abroad, and you're not even taking a bath before you go?
Go with Jung Bong.
I'm fine though.
Go.
Yes, Ma'am.
["Don't Sleep!" Study Room]
Where did she go? I didn't even see her all day.
Hello! Pleased to make your acquaintance.
Wow... you speak Japanese?
Not really. I'm just rehearsing a few phrases before I go.
Geez... it's such a shame, letting you just stay at home all the time.
I'll bet that you'd be living in an even bigger house if you were working.
Nah. I don't even deserve this house.
Tomorrow's the first day of the Lunar New Year.
You're not going home?
I bought a train ticket. I'm going tomorrow afternoon.
It's not like my Mother-in-Law is there
so we're just going to visit her grave.
What about you? Are you done packing?
Aren't you leaving tomorrow morning?
Yeah, I did. I packed everything a month ago.
Hello?
- It's me, Mom. - Yeah, Jung Hwan?
Did you make the payment to the travel agency?
Yes, but can you get your passport?
What? My passport? Just a moment.
Why my passport?
They said that your hotel changed
so they have to input your name in English again.
Can you spell out your name written in English on your passport, for me?
Oh... the spelling of my name in English is... let's see here.
Hurry. There are people waiting behind me.
Um... Jung Hwan. Can you call me back? I have soup boiling in the kitchen.
Okay? Talk to you later!
Mom!
What happened? Did something happen with Jung Hwan?
Oh... my hotel was changed. I'm going to go check on the soup in the kitchen.
Did you pack everything for Japan?
Your mom packed it all a month ago.
Will you be okay if you don't know any Japanese?
I hear that people abroad try to scam Koreans by overcharging them.
You think your mom is the type to fall for that?
Don't worry.
Also, your mom knows a bit of Japanese.
Wow!
Oh geez...
Hello?
Oh, Jung Hwan? Your mom? Hold on.
Missus, the phone.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Mom, hurry up and spell it out for me! I'm in a hurry!
Why did you hang up?
You have your passport, right?
Um... my passport... is... let's see... where was it, again?
My passport...
Mom! I told you, there are people waiting behind me!
Just spell it out for me, already!
Oh, Jung Hwan... water, water, water! I'm boiling water! Talk to you later!
Mom! Mom!
Missus, I'm going to Dooly Supermarket for a bit.
Okay.
But Father... which college did Mother attend?
I heard that she used to work at a bank before...
but I don't know what college she attended.
Hello?
Mom! Geez, really!
What the hell are you doing?
What's so hard about spelling your name in English for me?
Hurry up and look at your passport.
Yeah... um...
You have your passport in your hand, right?
Yeah.
And you see your photo on the first page there.
Your name in English is next to that. Hurry up and spell it out for me.
Um... Jung Hwan.
Yes? Hurry!
Um... Jung Hwan... I don't know English.
I don't know how to read English.
Sorry, Son.
Your mom didn't go to college.
And what's this job at a bank you're talking about?
She said she worked in the financial sector...
She lent money and collected it in daily installments!
Your mom was the biggest lender at the orphanage.
And since she was 15 years old, at that.
She was quite sharp.
She even worked under a Japanese person later.
She sold dollars and yen, too, because she was so smart.
Your mom only graduated from elementary school.
But what's so important about that?
In my opinion, your mom is the smartest person in the world.
You don't need to go to college or get a fancy title.
What do you need that piece of paper for?
As long as you're good to others and can provide for yourself, that's good enough.
I'm fine with it even if you don't get into college.
Just look at your mom. She's so well off even though she didn't go to college.
Jung Bong...
I'd like it if you took after your mom
instead of me.
Isn't your mom such an amazing person?
Let's go home. I'll bet your mom's waiting.
Okay.
Should I walk like this for the rest of the day?
Like this.
Honey! Mi Ran, I'm home!
Why did you come back so late?
You two ate something on the way, didn't you?
No, we didn't!
Why don't you take the red bean off your mouth before you say that?
Geez... Nothing gets past your mom! Seriously!
Sun Young, your bowls.
Geez... I told you I'd come to get them!
It's okay. It's nice to get some exercise, too.
What do you mean, exercise? It's barely 10 steps to your house.
What about Sun Woo?
Oh, he ate dinner and went to the study room.
He won't be back until after 1:00 a.m.
Jin Joo, aren't you going to say hi?
I guess she's scared of me.
Well, you don't exactly have a cute face.
You're not going home, right? Your mother is going abroad, right?
Yeah. I decided to be a filial son this year.
But... you're going to work today, too?
Of course! Tomorrow's the Lunar New Year so I have to earn as much as I can.
And you're going to leave Jin Joo at Jung Hwan's?
Yeah. She plays well on her own.
Why, are you going to watch her?
Geez... you know that I'm no good with kids.
Don't worry, I'd never leave her with you!
I bet you'd pass out with another brain hemorrhage if I did.
Did you talk to the travel agency?
Yes.
Here.
They were selling them out front, so I bought some.
I didn't make any dinner tonight!
- What? Why? - What?
We're eating out!
- Yay! - Eating out!
- Eating out! Eating out! - Yes!
Jin Joo!
- Eating out! Eating out! - Eating out! Eating out!
- Dad, we're eating out. - What?
We're eating out! Eating out! Eating out!
- What are we eating? - Meat! Eating out! Meat! Eating out!
Geez, who keeps doing this?
Geez, what a world we live in...
Geez... who did this, again?
Oh no, where did they all go?
Geez...
Moo Sung. Just this once.
I'll leave it to you.
Sun Young!
What a great meal.
Back home! Back home!
???
Jung Bong, call me when the Saturday night movie is on.
Okay.
Jung Hwan.
Go sleep in your older brother's room tonight.
We can't have girls sleep out here when it's so cold!
- Bo Ra and Duk Seon... - Soo Yeon.
What, you're not done with that?
Even so, I want to try and believe her until the very end.
It's not over till it's over, as they say.
Well, anyway... then Bo Ra and Soo Yeon, sleep in Jung Hwan's room tonight.
Yes!
Ah, it's a bed!
I love it!
It's pretty clean in here.
Good night.
Hey, Kim Jung Hwan.
Good night.
You two have gotten really close.
We were always close.
But... where did you go this afternoon?
Mind your own.
I'm not interested, okay?
Hey, Sung Duk Seon. Do you notice anything different about me?
You got even uglier!
What the hell?
What, huh?
You got uglier so I said so! What should I say, then?
You really don't notice anything different about me?
Hey!
We're at someone else's house. Don't you two dare fight again.
I'm going to strip both of you and kick you out... got that?
Yeah...
Okay... here.
Have a great trip to Japan, okay?
Let's drink to that!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Geez... I'm so jealous of you two.
You live in this great house and you're going abroad, to boot.
One of you must be so blessed for this to have all happened.
I'm so jealous, really.
If only Jung Bong had gotten into a college...
Stop that.
Yes. He can just take it again next year.
It'll be his seventh time!
If he'd gone to college seven years ago, he already would've graduated by now!
Yeah. And if he'd gone to the army, he'd be a Sergeant Major by now.
We shouldn't have gone to get our fortunes told.
If only she hadn't brought up that "Great fortune" talk
we wouldn't have expected anything.
Why? Did she say that he'd have great fortune, or something?
Yes, she did. So we thought he'd get into college this time for sure!
Well, shit. You never know... he might have been lucky in some other way.
- Some other way? - Well, yeah.
What do you mean by that?
Hell if I know! I'm not a fortune teller!
What could be luckier than the college thing, though?
[One Free Bag]
She told Duk Seon to change her name,
and she said that Jung Bong would be lucky.
So, what did she tell Sun Woo's mom, then?
It's so embarrassing that I can't bring myself to tell you.
Nothing you need to know about.
Geez, you're making me so curious.
Maybe she said that she'd meet a nice man and get married or something.
Oh, hush. Mind your own business.
Oh yeah. Jin Joo. What do we do about her?
Oh no. We forgot about that.
I wonder where she left her?
Moo Sung. Sorry I'm so late!
Moo Sung?
You're back?
Are... you okay?
I'm on the brink of death here.
She's definitely your daughter, for sure.
She does such crazy things!
Geez... Hi, Jin Joo.
Mister, what's this?
Be gentle. It hurts.
Geez.
Jung Hwan.
Yeah?
Let's go to the concert together. Okay?
Let's go to the concert together.
You'll go, right? Right?
Yeah. I'll go.
Where were you all day today?
I just had something to do. You don't need to know.
But... Bo Ra.
Were you waiting for me?
Who else would I be waiting for, then, at this hour?
Geez, dating a high schooler sure is troublesome.
You got new glasses.
You look pretty.
Bo Ra...
Can I kiss you?
Pack your things quickly and go, okay? Your grandmother is waiting.
Yes, Mother.
Don't worry and have a safe trip.
We're off, then!
Okay.
Mister. Gimpo Airport, please.
Sure.
Geez, I wonder if they'll be okay. They're so careless.
Don't worry. Whose children are they, after all?
Whose?
Yours, of course!
They're all grown now. Don't worry.
What do you mean, they're all grown? They still have a way to go.
You packed the passports, right?
Oh, yeah! The passports!
They're right here!
Geez...
Shall we take a look at your photo?
Why? I look like Miss Korea anyway.
What's this? Did you write this?
What are you talking about?
This. This. Did you write this?
[Em, Ai, Ar, Ay, An, Ar, Ay]
Jung Hwan wrote it. I can tell just by looking.
Oh really?
Wow... Jung Hwan even knows how to do these kind of considerate things?
I was going to ask the kids to do it for us
but I couldn't, because it's a bit embarrassing.
Wow, our Jung Hwan knows how to be so considerate like this.
He's all grown.
Yeah... he is.
My child's all grown.
Oh. Did your mother leave already? I couldn't even say goodbye. Geez.
We're late for the train! Hurry it up!
I'm coming!
Have a great New Year!
Okay!
Bye.
Hurry up, already!
Hello.
- Oh, are you leaving now? - Yeah!
- I bet the bus will be quite crowded! - It's okay!
Watch over the block for us!
- Have a safe trip! - Okay!
Jung Bong! Wait!
Here.
I totally forgot about it. My friend Man Ok wanted me to give it to you.
You know Man Ok, right? I heard you two met before.
Yeah.
Wow... What a coincidence!
You got really lucky this year! A love letter to Kim Jung Bong, of all people?
I'm really going this time!
- Jung Hwan. - Yeah?
This Lunar year isn't over yet, right?
What are you talking about?
No need to worry about it.
Wow... it's so empty because of the Lunar New Year.
I guess everyone went to their hometowns. It's so quiet.
Oh geez... so cold.
The Lunar New Year, Seolnal, which has finally regained its rightful name
is a holiday when families get together and pay respect to elders.
Just yesterday alone, there were 600,000 people who left for their hometowns
and even today, on the morning of the Lunar New Year
there are so many people at Seoul Station going back to their hometowns.
As such, the streets in Seoul are barren and most shopping complexes are closed...
There's so many... right, Jin Joo?
Sun Woo! Give them a call one more time and tell them to hurry over!
- Okay. - I'm here.
No need to call.
Hello.
Hi, Sun Woo. It's been a while.
You should have hurried over! The food will get all bloated!
Is it rice cake soup?
It's the Lunar New Year, after all. You know that, right?
Yeah.
What about Taek?
He's coming.
I'll go get him.
No, it's okay. Eat. He'll probably be be here soon.
He totally loses himself when he plays Baduk. I'll go get him.
Okay, hurry over, then.
You went to get your fortune told? So... what did they say?
Don't even bring it up. The ladies were about to pass out because of my fortune.
Really? Why? What did she say?
I'm only telling you because it's you.
I see a greater happiness than that... in your fate.
What?
Me? In my fate?
What is it?
You're getting another son.
What?
Oh my God.
What the hell?
You have quite a blessing ahead of you, indeed. Right?
You can still get pregnant, right?
Geez, it's so great to be young!
Isn't it funny to you too?
Geez... I'm not at a child-bearing age anymore!
I can't believe what she said to me.
It was just a waste of money!
Well, you never know... You're still young!
What?
You must be out of your mind. I'm in my mid-forties!
Well, unless some child fell out of the sky...
Right, Sun Woo?
What? What do you mean?
Hello.
Happy New Year, Ma'am.
Hi, Jin Joo.
Eat.
Did you stay up all night again?
I'm fine.
Geez... is your big match over?
Yeah.
Tell them to stop scheduling matches for you already.
The biggest match is over is over now, so it's fine.
I can rest today and tomorrow.
How do I even eat this?
Just eat it.
Here, say "Ah!"
Subtitles by DramaFever
Hi Duk Seon.
You really like her as a woman?
She's cute to me.
What are you two doing?
I'm leaving.
Here we go... Let's play together later, okay?
Sun Woo doesn't know yet, right?
I'm nervous that he'll find out.
Sun Woo doesn't know yet?
No, of course not! I'd be in big trouble!
It's not that your mother has something else going on...
Why do you know something that even I don't know?
Why do you know something that even her son...
- What? - What?
Crazy bastard.
Duk Seon!
See you tomorrow!
When are we going then? Should we go during the weekend?
Are you done crying?
Taek's sure got game.
