High Kick! Episode 33

Connect this and then...

Hey, flip the switch.

Are you done?

I think so. Flip it.

Can it really be?

Wow, it's pretty. It's not a complete failure.

Why buy it if you can't set it up?

Why do I have to come here and do it for you?

I am one amazing ex-husband.

No other ex-husband would do this.

Lee Minyong is pretty great. He's got class.

Fine, I admit it. You're not a total loser.

Hey, Minjung, we lit the Christmas tree. Come look!

It's pretty.

She didn't even look.

Turn on some carols. Let's get in the Christmas spirit.

Are you sick?

No.

Why aren't you coming out? The tree looks really pretty.

You like things like that, don't you?

I do.

I love them.

I'm so excited.

What's wrong with her?

Just leave her be for now.

Why? Did something happen?

Just let her be.

What are you doing?

If you're going to make me work, you should at least feed me.

Do I have to do everything?

I was just about to.

Hey, you're making stir-fry. It looks good.

You should put in more vegetables.

I'm not your maid!

Be careful. You could've hurt yourself.

I'm okay. You can let go.

The tree is pretty.

Did you see it? It's pretty, right?

Miss Seo, are you hungry?

They're divorced for Pete's sake.

Don't they know how divorced people are supposed to act?

One more on this side.

Here?

Okay.

No, no, not a ball. Hang a candy cane.

Oh, a candy cane.

Mom, where should I put the star?

- Over there. - Here?

Okay, okay, very good.

What are they doing all that for?

The Christmas tree?

Why, it's nice and pretty.

What's so pretty about it? It's cluttered.

Come on, they're just getting into the spirit of Christmas.

We don't even go to church. What's the point of having a tree?

You just always want to do what everyone else is doing.

I don't like it.

Oh, that old grouch. All he does is complain.

Why did you turn off the lights?

We're lighting the tree. Minho, turn it on.

One, two, three.

That's nice. It's so romantic!

Isn't it nice, Father?

Turn on the lights. It's dark.

Decorating's done!

Merry Christmas, everybody!

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

Mother! Merry Christmas, Mother!

Oh, Father.

What?

Remember our sister organization, Hope Preschool?

The principal called to see if we could volunteer there for the holidays.

We established a relationship with them? When?

Starting this year.

Really? So?

They want us to play with the kids during the Christmas festivities.

I'll prepare all the gifts and things.

It would be good if you went with Junha.

Why do I have to go?

Santa has to be a man.

What? You want me to be Santa Claus?

Yes, you be Santa Claus, and honey, you be Rudolph.

Do I really have to, at this age? I have...

Of course. The volunteer work will be done in the name of our hospital,

and you're the face of our hospital.

That's true, but...

Okay. Then Father is Santa and honey, you're Rudolph.

I'll get the presents ready.

Honey, make sure you get me a nice costume.

Got it.

Why is the Christmas party on the weekend?

There's too much to do before vacation to do it earlier.

Mother!

Look at this.

- What is it? - Isn't it pretty?

This is the Rudolph costume. Junha's going to wear it.

If he puts it on, he won't be a deer, he'll be Rudolph the Pig.

I bought two. Minyong, are you...

Not interested.

Why not? If you volunteered...

It wouldn't be a good experience.

Okay, Minyong isn't interested.

Hey, let's get Junha to put it on.

I want to see what it looks like.

Honey, try this on!

Hello?

Mr. Lee? Hello, I'm calling for Orange Hill Vacation Homes in Yangpyeong.

I'm calling to confirm your reservation.

Vacation home? I never made a reservation.

You made a reservation in June for December 24th.

What?

Why aren't you sleeping?

You're shopping again, aren't you?

Honey! Look at this.

Now, what is it? We already bought a truckload of baby clothes.

Isn't this nice? Right?

What?

It's not bad. So what?

Let's go here this Christmas.

Is the heat too much for you?

It's the middle of summer!

The heat is killing me.

This place is really popular. You have to make reservations now.

Is that it, then? You're not going to reserve it?

Do it later. Later. What's the rush?

Hey, I hurt my back this morning. Give me a massage, will you?

You won't make the reservations?

You won't do it? You won't do it?

You sure about that?

Make the reservations! Make them!

Go ahead and do it!

Come on, hurry.

Okay, I'll do it.

Happy?

Oh, yes. I remember now. I forgot because it was so long ago.

You need to confirm by today and deposit the rest of the balance.

What would you like to do?

Oh, well, you see, things have changed a bit.

Would you like to cancel, then?

Yes.

Wait, wait.

I just need to decide by today, right?

Okay, then I'll call you back. Okay.

Have a seat over here.

It's me.

Idiot... What are you doing here? You know it's office hours.

Yes, but it didn't seem like you had any patients.

What? You little...

It was really busy all day. You just caught me during a lull.

Who do you think you are?

Father, that's not important. Do you have some money?

Money? Why?

I got an inside tip. It's killer. Killer.

Oh, what is it now? What?

You know Sojeong Construction? They're taking over Woohui.

- Are you sure? - I'm positive.

I don't have money for that right now.

Sell Bongweon Electric.

That's my one stable stock. It's like a savings account.

Sell it. You'll make 10 times more.

If you don't buy this time, you're missing out big time.

You're positive about this?

- Do what you want. - Okay.

If you mess up again this time...

Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.

Father, trust your firstborn son. What would you do without me?

What's wrong with the door?

I think it's locked from the outside.

Hey, what's wrong with it? It won't open.

You idiot. You're supposed to pull. Stop pushing on it.

You've been here thousands of times.

It's confusing.

How can anyone expect me to trust him?

Where is Miss Seo?

She said she's coming soon. She's probably almost here.

Shinji

I can't decide which one's better. Help me out, okay?

First, if you eat the black bean noodles, you're going to want the spicy noodles.

Second, the black bean noodles make you want the spicy noodles. Eat them both!

- What do you think? - Do you have anything else?

No good?

Man, I have to send in something today.

Okay, bye.

Hey, hold on a second!

What's wrong with you? You have no phone manners at all!

What? If you're done, that's it?

- Why? Do you have something to say? - In fact, I do.

What is it?

I doubt someone with your brain capacity will remember, but...

this Christmas Eve,

we reserved an Orange Hill vacation home. This past summer...

Vacation home? Oh, yeah. We did.

They called me today.

I was going to cancel, but then I lose the $200 deposit.

So?

Well, it'd be a waste of money, so I didn't cancel it just yet.

You wanted to go, so I thought I'd ask you first.

You want to go?

I didn't say that.

It's a little strange if a divorced couple goes away on vacation together.

It is a bit strange. Okay, then I'll cancel...

- Let's go. - What?

It'd be a waste of money and it's really hard to make reservations there.

If you want to, that is.

The two of us? Just us?

Well, you can bring people if you want.

I don't think I have anyone to bring.

You don't have to.

Then, just us two?

Oh, you take care of it. I'm busy. Bye.

Oh, okay, okay. I'll pay the balance, then. Okay, bye.

Merry Christmas.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Miss Seo, you're here. Sing us a song.

I can't sing.

Oh, come on. Get up here and sing.

I really can't sing! I'm serious.

You better not pout, I'm telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

He's making a list, checking it twice.

He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice.

I've never seen anyone get touched by their own singing.

Christmas Eve

Father, all the presents are in the car.

You just have to go give them out.

Already? This early?

You can't just give out the presents and leave.

You two should go and play with the kids for a bit.

Play? You want me to play?

Father, you're the face of our hospital.

If you're going there, you might as well do a nice job.

The kids will love it.

Honey, stop snacking and get ready.

If she likes it so much, why doesn't she do it? It's freezing outside.

Nice, my foot.

Shinji, the studio called for you.

They need to talk to you.

What? Okay.

What time are you leaving?

What? Where? What?

Aren't you going away with Mr. Lee?

What? How did you know?

I just found out. Have fun.

Fun? I don't know if I should even go.

I know I said I would, but I don't think I should have.

Why? Go have a good time.

We're divorced.

Only on paper. You two seem married now.

And a happy married couple at that.

What?

And you've got Jun to think about.

Well what are you doing for Christmas?

Ta-da! I'm going on a blind date.

Really?

Yeah, Boyoung is setting me up with a co-worker. We're meeting in Myungdong.

Good luck. Christmas should be a happy time.

Of course. I'm going to give it my best shot.

Hello?

Yes. Yes.

What?

It's Santa! Give me a present!

Get in line. Then Santa will give you a present.

- Let's get in line. Get in line. - Presents! Presents! Presents!

You little brats!

Get in line, you brats!

Come on, Father. You're scaring the kids.

Be quiet! I'm not in the mood.

You, attention!

Say 'Attention'! Do you know what that is? Attention!

Attention?

Now, get in four straight lines!

Father, these kids don't know how to do that.

You scared them all.

Come play with Rudolph! Come on.

Wine and flowers are part of the package, right?

Yes, please have that ready. Is there anything else?

An open-air jacuzzi?

Oh, no, that's okay. Please...

Actually, if we change our minds can we request it then?

Just in case, you know.

Yes, yes. Thank you.

An open-air jacuzzi...

Hello? I'm on my way to your place.

I'll be there in five minutes.

Minyong, I don't think I can go.

What?

The studio wants me to redo a song.

They want it by tomorrow. I can't go. Sorry.

What are you talking about!

Don't go anywhere!

You've got to be kidding me!

It's going to go well.

The holidays are happy times.

Seo Minjung, you can do it!

Shinji! Are you serious?

Sorry. They want me to fix it. I can't go.

This is just like you.

You made a promise!

What do you want me to do? I have to change it all.

It's just one day. Let's just go first.

Fix it there! I'll help you.

You know I can't do two things at once.

I'm going to be too stressed out to do anything there.

Everything has to go your way, doesn't it?

What do you mean 'my way'? It's my job. What do you want me to do?

Job? You call that a job? That's not a job.

What?

No one cares about some stupid jingle. No one listens to it anyway.

Why work so hard?

Do you have to talk to me like that?

You may think it's stupid, but to me, it's an important job!

Yeah, that stuff is important, but Jun and I mean nothing to you.

Typical. You studied abroad because you wanted to.

You went to Russia on your own. And you came back when you wanted.

It's always whatever you want!

You have no right to be Jun's mother!

What? Who does things however they want?

Whose fault was all of that?

I wanted to go to grad school but you convinced me to marry you.

And you never encouraged me once.

All you did was make me do housework!

I said I wanted to have kids later, but you ignored me then, too.

You put on such a big show to Father, using any means to make me have kids.

Have you ever in your life sincerely listened to one word I said?

You just manipulated me! As long as it suited you!

No one manipulated anyone! You agreed with everything!

I want to raise Jun well, too.

But I don't want to grow old and die with that being the only thing I've done.

I have things I want to do, too. Why doesn't my life count for anything?

Great. Just great.

If you're so ambitious, what are you doing writing silly jingles?

Shouldn't you be composing some country's national anthem?

What?

Stop it, guys.

Forget it. We divorced so we wouldn't fight.

Just forget it.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I already paid for everything, so I'm going to go.

I'm not going.

I don't care. Do what you want!

Don't wait for me! I'm not going!

See? Whatever he wants!

You, boy. What's your name?

Changdong.

Changdong? You don't have a last name?

Kim Changdong.

Okay. So. Were you a good boy?

No? Come on, kid. Were you good?

What's wrong with this kid? Hey, are you a good kid or not?

Here, here's your present.

Father, why do you have to be like that with the kids?

Just give them the presents.

That's what Santa's supposed to do.

Give presents to the good kids, and smack the bad ones.

What? Santa doesn't smack kids!

What Santa Claus hits children? That's ridiculous...

You idiot, don't talk back. I ought to...

Why is Santa calling Rudolph names?

Why is Santa hitting Rudolph?

Be quiet, you little brats! Be quiet!

See, even the kids are saying things.

Don't call me names in front of the kids anymore.

Call me Rudolph.

What?

Come on, kids. Let's go sledding!

Hey, kid. Come play with Santa.

Miss Seo?

Yes, hello.

Hi, my name is Kim Kibeom. Sorry I'm late.

There was a lot of traffic.

It's okay. I just got here.

I see you ordered coffee.

I think I'll... Excuse me.

- I just need to use the restroom. - Sure.

- Hello? - Mr. Lee, it's me.

Hi.

Are you at the vacation home?

Yes, why?

I don't think Shinji's going to go.

Yes, I know.

Then why did you go?

I told my family I was going skiing.

I can't go back now.

Things aren't going to work out, are they?

Who knows?

Does it hurt?

Yes, it does.

If you were here, I'd try to cheer you up.

I know.

Have a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Excuse me, I'm sorry.

I have an emergency. I have to go.

What?

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Wait, Miss Seo.

Miss Seo?

Merry Christmas.

What the...

Shinji!

Seo Minjung!

Congratulations! You look so, so, so pretty!

I am pretty, aren't I?

I'm going to go talk with the girls. I'll see you later.

Hubby-to-be! You can't come in here!

It's okay. Who's going to stop me from seeing my bride?

Wow, but your beauty is unearthly. Is that legal?

I am rather beautiful, aren't I?

It's blinding! Your beauty is so blinding!

Yes?

What is it?

What? Sojeong Construction?

Yes, I bought a lot of shares.

Why? Did they announce the merger?

What? Bankrupt? Are you sure?

I'm positive. It'll be in the news tomorrow.

Bankrupt?

That stupid moron...

What are you doing here? Where's Santa?

Santa's killing Rudolph.

What?

How much was it?

What are you, trying to put us all out on the streets?

You moron! You're dead! Let's die together!

Father, calm down!

No! Why should I? I can't calm down, you idiot!

Rudolph's nose fell off!

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee!

I'm here to cheer you up!

There he is.

Why are you outside?

Didn't think I'd come, did you?

I can never tell with you.

I'm sorry I broke my promise. You know how I am.

Forget it, it's cold. Let's go inside.

Minyong, we have to talk.

What?

If you were going to come anyway, you should've come sooner.

Stupid...

I was watching our wedding video and I remembered...

We thought we'd be happy for the rest of our lives.

I wondered why that didn't happen.

I know why you wanted to come here.

To be honest, I've also thought about trying again. But...

I think where we're at right now is perfect.

We see each other when we want to, and don't when we don't want to.

And congratulate each other if we meet someone nice.

Just like good friends.

It may sound strange, but that's what I'd like.

You want ex-spouses to be friends?

- Do you think you're making a movie? - Does it not make sense?

Is that why you came?

To say that?

Yeah.

You should have just called. Why come all the way out here?

I thought I should say it face-to-face.

Fine.

I guess the holidays just got to me.

You're right. I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

It was pretty terrible toward the end.

Bye.

Hello? It's Seo Minjung.

I was wondering, if it's alright with you...

I can meet you now...

Are you kidding me?

No, right?

That's what I thought. Sorry.

Mister! Hey, Mister!

Some Merry Christmas.

Minji, write your journal and go to bed!

Okay.

I saw Santa today. Santa is really mean.

He cut off poor Rudolph's nose and antlers.

Next year, I hope Santa doesn't come, and only Rudolph comes.

Bad Santa!

[ Next Episode ]

Your nose is running.

I'm really not crying.

We decided we're going to be friends from now on.

Are you crying again?

I'm not! Really.

A murderer has escaped from prison.

It's me. Where are you going?

You're not going to give me up, are you?

- What? - Are you calling the police?

That crafty old grouch...

It seems like you don't trust me.

What's that? Just you wait!
