WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES

Ah! Hello.

Welcome!

- You look beautiful.
- [Geum-myeong] Give me a hand.

Here we go.

- Let me get it.
- Help me with this.

Okay.

[feel-good pop music playing]

[Yeong-beom] Smile.

YALASHANG FILM CLUB

One, two, three.

I'll take one more.

Okay, smile.

One, two, three.

[Geum-myeong] If I say I can't
go tomorrow, what do I mean by that?

Tonight is our last night. You get it?

Yeong-beom, it's our last night.

I swear I'm going to, damn it.
What's wrong with you?

[sighs]

[exclaims excitedly]

[both laugh]

How do I know? I don't know what I want,

and you don't know until
you walk down the aisle with someone.

Just watch, okay?
I'm going to see you in a wedding dress.

Ta-da!

They're pretty.

Wow.

Okay. This is tricky.

See? I told you I'd see it.

Oh? Hey, over here.

Hey! [chuckles]

[Geum-myeong] My heart was pounding
for all the new people in my life,

as well as the old.

Whoo!

Ooh!

Wow.

It was an accident, I swear.

[Geum-myeong] I felt like
I could fly up to the clouds,

just like those balloons.

SUCH AN UNEVEN LOVE

There was someone new
in Mom's world as well.

A plump little human
had come into her life.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY
FROM YEOM BYEONG-CHEOL, NA MIN-OK

[baby babbling]

[sentimental music playing]

[Geum-myeong] Though this was
their son's child, for some reason,

they felt even greater affection for him.

Don't babysit too often,
no matter how cute they are.

They only stay that way
if you don't get sick of them.

Once Geum-myeong gets married,
you'll need to draw the line clearly.

You two have your own lives.

Everyone says he has my eyes,
but look at that piehole!

- Just like his mom's!
- "Mouth," son. Mouth.

I invited your family, too,
but they're not coming?

Pretty much, yeah.

I also wouldn't visit
my unemployed son-in-law.

I thought maybe your brothers?

They said

they never wanna see our asses again.

Faces.

[Hyeon-suk] Sorry?

Our "faces."

- Who's faces?
- Your faces.

Right. Our faces.

[Gye-ok sighs]

That's 19 grams of pure gold.

They must've said "19 grams"
about a dozen times over the phone.

It's for his college tuition.

[Gye-ok sighs]
He's a stingy one, isn't he?

If he wants to pay for tuition,
he should consider inflation.

They have the money.

All that rice-cake money,
and this is all they bought?

Yeah.

I heard that Grandpa sports
a Mercedes-Benz.

Of course he does.
Everyone eats rice cakes, after all.

This isn't very classy of them.

What? Like you are?

Mm-mm, let's go.

Ooh, okay, okay. Mm.

YANG JE-IL'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

Are you sure you can afford
that stuff right now?

I'm gonna do everything on his birthdays.

Not like you guys ever
did anything for mine.

Listen, it was a tough time.

Sure. Times always got tough
right around my birthday.

[sighs] So how do you plan
to support this new family?

Will you mooch off us?

- I have business ideas.
- Of course.

With Cheol-yong?

You better not still mean
that pawn shop, son.

Well, Pops, you only live once, so--

Oh, I'm happy to smack you twice.

People are supposed to mature
when they have a child.

- Why can't you grow up?
- I'd never expect help from you.

Look, Eun-myeong,
we're not asking for the impossible.

You just have to get up early, all right?
Head on down to the loading docks.

- They have plenty of jobs there.
- [Eun-myeong moans]

So I can live a life like yours?
Is that what this is about?

Look, Dad,

if you wanna fill a bucket up with water,
you must turn the nozzle on all the way.

If you waste all your time
patching the holes, it'll never get full.

Don't you understand that?

It's not just Geum-myeong.
I have dreams too.

I don't want to be a dad
of a family of four

who goes to a barbecue place
but only buys dinner for three.

I'll be a dad
who gets as much as he wants.

[sighs]

[door opens]

[door slams]

[gentle piano music playing]

Do you have to talk to your dad like that?

Our Steelheart is softer than you think.
You hurt his feelings.

[Eun-myeong sighs]

Then remind him of Geum-myeong
and cheer him up.

You little…

How do you get more bitter every year?

I think you two should be thankful
I even made it this far.

Kids feel it when parents believe in them.

You put faith in Geum-myeong,
and she soared.

Goodness.

But both of you ignored me
and didn't support my goals.

[middle-aged Ae-sun] Unbelievable.

Can you carry him for a while?
My arms are hurting.

[sighs]

- [Hyeon suk groans]
- I'll take him.

Give me Je-il, and you two can go inside.

- Give him to me. Aw, sweet baby.
- [sighs]

[middle-aged Ae-sun] Oh my goodness.

[Je-il babbling]

[middle-aged Yeong-ran sobs]

Never in a million years
did I think my daughter would do this.

I've just been so upset.

I feel like the sky has collapsed on me.

[middle-aged Ae-sun] It's my fault.

I can't tell you how sorry I am.

You can't even have a lead ring
if you get married pregnant,

let alone a golden one.

I never got to have my own wedding.

Now my daughter
won't get to wear a veil either.

I know it seems like Eun-myeong
is still struggling to find his way,

but as a person, he's--

It's not that.

Eun-myeong isn't the problem.

Really?

Eventually, every son becomes his dad.

I've always envied your life.

I've envied your life
more than anyone else's.

[surprised sigh]

You're the one with a wealthy husband.

Every field day,

I had to drag my three kids with me
under the scorching sun.

But one time,
I saw your husband fanning your back

so you could cool off.

Oh, come on now.

Only you notice that kind of thing.

It made me cry.

I thought, "How is that woman
so blessed to have a man that devoted?"

"And what sin did I commit
to deserve this pile of dog shit?"

Anyway,

is Hyeon-suk getting along?

She doesn't know how to do anything.

If she doesn't catch on,
feel free to yell at her.

A good cry might teach a new mom a lesson.

I won't yell at her.

I won't make her cry,

and I'll make sure
Hyeon-suk gets a nice ring too.

- She will.
- [sniffles]

If you ever wanna see Hyeon-suk
or your first grandson,

you just come on over.

Or tell me to come out to see you.

After all, we're in-laws now.
That counts too, Yeong-ran, doesn't it?

[sighs]

How can he look exactly like my daughter?

[sniffles]

So you can't win
with your daughter either?

[jaunty music playing]

[Geum-myeong] One of
my mom's poems was called

"My Damn Child."

Come on! What's the big deal?

Good grief.

That's enough, you brat!

- I've had it with you! Ooh. Ow!
- Stop.

[Eun-myeong] Is she saving the country?
Will the company fail without her?

Uh-uh! Nope. Give it to me!

Stop it!

What is your son
supposed to do with liquor?

Cheol-yong picked out a terrible present!

It's because my parents make me miserable.

So she's missing
her own nephew's birthday.

Try to understand your sister, huh?

She's having a rough time at work, okay?

She thinks she's so great
'cause she works for a big corporation.

Which of us will be here
to take care of you?

Which of us will be here when you're old?

[middle-aged Ae-sun]
We don't need you to take care of us.

First, figure out
how to take care of yourself.

[reporter on TV] …in South Korea,
is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Don't be so harsh on him.
He might have to pick out your grave.

…the largest of Korea's corporations
are immune from the shock.

The effects of a Kia bankruptcy
would be felt throughout the economy.

Kwon Jae-hong reports.

This afternoon, Korea First Bank
announced at a press conference

that of the 28 subsidiaries
under Kia Group,

18 of them will be subject…

[Geum-myeong] It was a harvest season
when you reaped what you sowed,

whether that was a golden toad

or a postdated check.

[scoffs]

[man grunts]

[man clears throat]

[wistful music playing]

[people chant]
Stop the layoffs! Not one more!

[man chants] Stop the layoffs!
Not one more!

[people chant]
We won't let you show us the door!

[man chants] We won't let you
show us the door!

Stop the layoffs! Not one more!

[man chants] Stop the layoffs!
Not one more!

[people chant]
We won't let you show us the door!

[reporter on radio] Major corporations are
crumbling in the Asian financial crisis

as unemployment continues to grow.

[Geum-myeong] An unforgettable winter
was on its way.

[reporter] The Dainong Group,
the 34th largest company in Korea,

has effectively been dissolved.

Of Dainong's four subsidiary companies,
only Midopa will be spared.

The courts will oversee the sales of

Dainong Heavy Industries Company
and Metro Product,

both subsidiaries of the Dainong Group.

[reporter 2] Ssangbangwool Development
and Ssangbangwool Corporation

have officially
been declared bankrupt today.

[reporter 3] Taeil Precision Company
is the latest high-profile firm

to adopt bankruptcy prevention measures.

Taeil Precision and its subsidiaries
carry a debt of 970 billion won.

Chohung Bank
and other bond finance agencies…

[reporter 4] Stocks have plunged
again today, with the S&P falling…

First of all, thank you for giving me
the opportunity to speak with you today.

…panic among investors.
With unemployment soaring, the economic…

[Geum-myeong] I wanted to thank you

for letting me know
the results of the interview.

Thank you so much
for giving me the opportunity.

I am willing to do
whatever it takes to, uh…

Willing to do whatever it takes
to join your organization. Allow me to…

[man] If you look at
the list of toothpaste products

that were exported to Northeast Asia,

this is a toothpaste that wasn't on
the list of imported toothpaste,

and you won't be able
to find it even if you try.

[clears throat] This toothpaste
will destroy common cavities,

guaranteed,

and whiten yellow teeth.

This product is now in the hands of
a leading American toothpaste company

recognized by the WHO

following the bankruptcy of
its original manufacturing company.

It's buy-one-get-one-free.
You won't hear a better offer.

[reporter 5] …has filed for bankruptcy
and finalized the process today.

[reporter 6] Ladies and gentlemen,
our government has made a request

to the International Monetary Fund
to carry out its bailout plan.

In spite of Korea's reputation as
an exemplary case of economic development,

the government has been forced
to admit to national bankruptcy

and is now pursuing means of recovery
from international organizations.

[reporter 7] The government
is now cautiously considering

the timing of the application
and the scale of the aid…

[automated voice]
The next stop is Sillim Market,

formerly Cannes Theater.

…expected to be around 30 billion…

[automated voice]
The next stop is Sillim Market,

formerly Cannes Theater.

[sentimental music playing]

CANNES THEATER WILL SHUT DOWN
ON DECEMBER 1

[Geum-myeong] When one door closes,

another door creaks open.

TICKET, JA 17

[movie playing in Italian]

[man 1 in English] Come on, man.
Just take an empty seat.

[movie continues in Italian]

JA 17

[Geum-myeong in English] Excuse me.
Could you put your leg down?

[woman] You heard the lady.

[man 2 groans]

[audience laughing]

[tense music playing in movie]

[woman gasps]

[speaking Italian]

[boy in movie] Alfredo.

[Alfredo laughs]

[movie continues in Italian]

[string music playing]

[Geum-myeong] They say
the stars have to align

for you to meet someone
once in a lifetime.

But to meet three times
is really pushing it.

Hey, I saw her.

Did you?

- Huh?
- You missed her?

This isn't the time
to be collecting trash.

Life hands you a gift on a silver platter,
and you still kick it to the curb.

[Geum-myeong] If you
miss that third chance,

you'll have to wait till the next life.

Geum-myeong!

[K-pop music playing]

[car horn honks]

[Geum-myeong] Last time,
it was Seo Taiji playing.

- This time, it was H.O.T.
- Geum-myeong! Geum-myeong!

[woman] Oh, watch it!

[car horn honking]

Geum-myeong! Wait!

[K-pop music playing]

[panting]

[groans]

[Geum-myeong] That's when he realized…

you get only three chances,

but if the clock runs out,
and it's still a tie-game,

there's always the penalty shoot-out.

[funky music playing]

Stop!

Please, stop!

[Geum-myeong] When one door closes…

- Please!
- …without fail, another door creaks open.

You could've caught the next one.

- [pants]
- [driver] Jeez.

Thank you.

[Geum-myeong] Had the 1997
financial crisis not happened…

had I not lost my job…

had the theater not been
going out of business…

had any of these things not happened
exactly as they did…

[gentle music playing]

[driver] Everyone, off. Last stop.

…perhaps this moment
would never have happened.

[music fades]

Is this a dream?

Am I dreaming?

Yeah.

[moans]

I chased you down
all the way from the theater.

I ran to catch this bus.

I knew no matter what,

I had to catch up with it.

Were you

at the theater alone?

- Yes.
- I see.

- And you… you were--
- Yeah, yeah.

[Geum-myeong chuckles]

Wow.

Finally.

Yes, finally.

I guess… this is when you use that word.

[both chuckle]

[pop music playing]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

Why do you keep laughing?

Your style has really changed
since I last saw you.

You're no longer like Picasso, aren't you?

Oh, I still am.

I'm an art instructor.

Picasso Art Academy offered me a job.

- Whoa!
- Without me, the academy would be doomed.

- So they pay me well.
- Mm.

I think that's, uh, that's amazing?

[chuckles]

Me too.

I think it's amazing.

[Chung-seob laughs]

The amazing thing is that
we were both at the theater. [laughs]

It sounds crazy, but I go every day
in the hopes you'd show up.

Um, I've been thinking about you.

I missed you a lot.

[sighs]

[Chung-seob chuckles]

I should go.

N… now?

Oh, unless it's too soon?

Is it too soon?

- Uh, let's order something.
- [both laugh]

Let's order beer. Yeah.

Uh, beer? Sounds good.

JINRO SOJU

Hey.

Why do you keep staring at me?

You're driving me nuts.

[Chung-seob] You're right.

And as a matter of fact,

I'm also going nuts.

[glass shatters]

- Oh!
- I swear, this never happens.

[exclaims] Be careful.
You'll hurt yourself.

Here, move your feet a little.

You sound like my dad.

Even the way you laugh.

Are you bleeding?

I think it's a cut.

I… I should apply pressure.

It's fine. It's fine.

Just in case.

How is this happening?

I think… I think I'm having
a heart attack.

[chuckles]

[laughing]

"Heart attack"?

[both laughing]

[gentle pop music playing]

Every time

I carried those books for you back then,

I would always think,

"I wanna hold her hand.
I wanna hold her hand."

[chuckles]

[Geum-myeong] The truth was, by then…

Remember how

I used to say,

"We all have some wickedness
within ourselves?

…we were no longer innocent.

I think I'm rotten on the inside.

[Geum-myeong] We dated
like we were grown-ups.

[both laughing]

[Geum-myeong] It wasn't puppy love.
We knew what we wanted.

[music continues]

[music fades]

[laughs]

Quit it. You look crazy.

What's with the face,
and what are you doing with your hands?

Knock it off.
That face makes you look like a fool.

Hey, come on. Can't you draw me like
the girl in Titanic?

[Chung-seob laughs]

Oh no. I can't draw you like Jack drew.

The model he used was different,
and so was the situation.

"The situation"?

What can we do about that?

Wow.

- Why, Mr. Park Toto…
- Park Toto.

Please explain the situation, okay?

[laughs]

You're a naughty boy,
Park Toto, aren't you?

Ugh! Really?

You're not supposed to spit in my face
when you go in for the kiss.

- Come on.
- Stop calling me Park Toto.

- What is so funny to you about that name?
- Stop it.

You used to never laugh
at anything, remember?

[Geum-myeong] Toto and I
had the same sense of humor.

You've been rubbing off on me.

- I'm starting to talk like you.
- Yeah, right.

[Geum-myeong]
We had finally cracked the secret

to pretending to be grown-ups,
and we couldn't stop laughing.

It's your fault for making me laugh
when we're kissing.

How am I supposed to concentrate?

Sorry, babe, it's just harder
for me to laugh every day.

That's precious time
we could be using for kissing, right?

That's why we're such a good fit.

- [Chung-seob] It doesn't need garlic.
- Okay.

I've been noticing
you really like raw fish.

You're always eating it.

I like it.

Listen, how would you like to…

to eat some real amberjack?

- Real amberjack?
- Mm-hmm.

Real amberjack.

[Geum-myeong] At last…

[retching]

[groans]

[Geum-myeong] The two men in my life
finally met each other.

[jaunty music playing]

Jeez.

Amberjack, my foot.

We're getting nothing but sauries.

[Chung-seob retching]

Dad, stop!
Why are you looking at him like that?

Can't you see how uncomfortable
you're making him feel?

[Geum-myeong] The day had come
when I had to choose my man over my dad.

This is just how I look.

Then can you please go
a little easier on him?

The open sea is a tough place
for people from the mainland.

Were you comfortable out here right away?

- I was.
- Yeah, right.

Are you throwing the small ones
back in the water?

You're a kind fisherman, sir.

You really are a… [groans] …kind man.

It's bait.

We're throwing them out to die.

That's not so nice, isn't it?

Stop glaring at him
and catch me something.

I brought him here
to taste real amberjack,

and I don't wanna disappoint him.

[Chung-seob groans]

Ooh.

Why are you following her? You creep.
She's only using the bathroom back there.

Sit down and eat some amberjack.

You better enjoy it.
You'll pay full price.

Don't you wanna be a part of it?

You don't like him?
What don't you like about him?

It's not me.

Get off my shoulder now. Cut it out.

Why are you here?
Why did you come to Jeju Island?

Is this a police interrogation?

Stop being so cruel, Dad.

You can't talk, ride boats, or even drink.

What can you do? Tell me!

What can you do for my daughter?

Just watching you sit there
makes me upset.

You come all the way down here,
and you can't even try.

Well,

even if I tried,

if you decide you don't like me, then

no matter what I do, it won't--

So you decided we won't like you,
now you won't even try?

Where'd you find this guy?

Shut up, you little brat.

Let go.

Three, two, one…

Zero. Now what are you gonna do?

[Eun-myeong] Let me go. [grunts]

[grunts]

What do you think of him, really?

Well, you know,

he's very nice.

[Gyeong-ja] I know
you have something to say.

Go ahead and just spit it out.

[middle-aged Ae-sun] Here's the thing.

It's his family.

It's who they are.

[Chung-seob] Oh.

You know,

I am trying to impress you
if you didn't know it.

By doing what?

I haven't detected any effort whatsoever.

For one, I don't eat much. [chuckles]

But today--

How terrible of us
to fill the table with food.

Shut your hole.

I really wanna beat you up right now!

Yeah? Do your worst.

Hmm. You got nothing.

[door opens]

Where do you think you're going?

Why do you keep following her to
the bathroom? What are you planning to do?

It might be dark out there,
but don't you dare.

Well, it's because it's dark tonight.

Hold it. A-ten-hut!

It's dark out there, and…

it's cold.

What is the matter with that guy?

Geum-myeong likes him
more than he likes her.

Don't you see it?

- That punk is making a fool out of--
- Hey.

Respect your brother-in-law.

My what? So you like him?

Stop hoarding the fish.

Don't eat all the good shrimp.
Peel some for him.

Seriously? You like him?

I don't believe this!

Why?

[Chung-seob groans]

[groans]

Why do you keep following her?
She's just going to the bathroom.

Just sit down and eat some amberjack,

and you'll pay full price
for what you eat.

Sit your ass down, cadet!

In case she falls.

In case Geum-myeong falls.

What? You think I'd let my daughter
fall in the water, really?

Speak for yourself.

Ten-hut!

A-ten-hut!

I just want to make sure.

I wanna make sure.

[groans]

[gentle acoustic guitar music playing]

I can't win.

How am I supposed to impress your dad?

[Geum-myeong sniffles, sighs]

Oh.

You know what, babe?

You could've tried harder.

I know.

I wanna impress your dad,

but this is just… just how I am, I guess.

Oh. That's how you are?

Sure.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

- Uh-huh.
- I've never done any of this before, so--

So what? You think just because

I go up to your mother
and use my highest voice to say "hi,"

that's my personality?

[chuckles]

Let me make one thing very clear.

- I am… are you listening, babe?
- Yeah.

I am my father's daughter.

If my dad says no, then we're done.

[tongue clicks]

No wedding.

Babe. Wait.

[sighs]

[Eun-myeong] Tell me why
you're okay with him.

You didn't approve of my wife
right away like this.

I won't sit here and let you
treat her with a double standard.

Go away. Go.

Hey, does your wife know
you pooped your pants in kindergarten?

Does your boyfriend know you use my razor?

[gasps]

[gasping] Hey. Let me go.

[high-pitched] Father. [chuckles]

[jaunty music playing]

[all gasp]

Oh my.

[high-pitched] Father.

Father.

Can I… perhaps, if you'd like,

I can peel those shrimps for you?

Peel them for yourself.

He's a lousy drunk.

[laughing]

Oh, just look at him.

He absolutely adores Geum-myeong.

[chuckles]

[middle-aged Ae-sun] The best part is
his mom really likes Geum-myeong too.

She says she really adores my daughter.

Isn't that something? [laughs]

Yeah, yeah,
it's something since it's not nothing.

You cried, didn't you?

Why would I?

Everyone loves Geum-myeong for who she is.

We all know she cried.

Is this really wild honey
from Hallasan Mountain?

We know you are trying
to gift this honey to his mom.

Well, I mean… his mother gave me a gift.

She practically bribed me to like him.

Of course I have to return the favor.

She is just so sweet.

Do you wanna know what his mother gave me?

What is this, some kind of treasure?

It's wrapped so tight.

Why does he have to stay here with us?

Why couldn't he have gotten a hotel?

We can't tell him to sleep at a hotel.

I feel bad enough
that he has to sleep in the living room.

Park Chung-seob is spending
the night under my roof,

and I am not having it, okay?

- I think you're overreacting.
- No way. No way.

[sighs] Hey, stop going out there.

He won't sneak into her room.
He would never dare.

You've been glaring at him all night.

Hey!

Let me go. Stop. [grunts]

Sit down. Sit down!

[sighs] Come on.

[sighs]

[door hinge creaks]

[jaunty music playing]

[moans]

[moans] Oh, Father. Why do you keep
coming in and out? You should sleep.

And you? Why aren't you sleeping?

Why? You're wide awake.

What are you plotting?

What? What's wrong? What… What?
Is there a problem? What's up?

[music fades]

[woman] This past fall,

I went to see my family
and took care of their persimmon trees.

I picked the best ones
and made you these treats.

I tried to put as much care
into making them

as you did when
you were raising Geum-myeong.

I adore your daughter more than I can say.

[Geum-myeong] It was a special gift.

My mom had waited a long time
to hear those words.

[gentle piano music playing]

Are you standing watch all night?

What are you going to do
if he goes into Geum-myeong's room?

- I'll kill him.
- [chuckles]

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.

There's no stopping Geum-myeong.
You should know that by now.

- Sh, sh, sh, sh.
- [chuckles]

If you really love her,

it's time to let her go.

[Geum-myeong] Mom knew.

She knew this would happen eventually.

[on radio] It's the single Bungle Show.
I'm your host Kang Seok.

Many sad expressions
have come out of this crisis.

"Jobless Twenties" because half of
everyone in their twenties is unemployed.

"Thirty-eight and Retired" for those
who had to quit in their late thirties.

"Retirement at 45"
because you couldn't get a job past 45.

And you're called "Job Hogger"
for working past 56.

What a depressing world we live in.

Well, let's listen to
an uplifting song, shall we?

[Geum-myeong] And that's how
I left the nest for good.

[uplifting pop music playing]

[Geum-myeong] Like a little bluebird
soaring high above a bare mountain,

I was nervous but brave.

[middle-aged Ae-sun]
Don't smile too much today.

You'll annoy your dad.

Mom, don't do that.
Let's all get along. Okay?

[sighs]

Hey, it's not like
you're done with me after today.

You'll still be my mom.

And I'm still me.

My name won't be Park Geum-myeong.
It'll be Yang Geum-myeong.

You know my pager number.

The last four digits are
the same as our home number.

They're not Chung-seob's.

[sighs] I'm still your daughter.

I know that. You're still our daughter.

So don't cry.

If you cry, so will I.

You'll ruin the wedding photos.

Let's keep it nice and cool today.

How's that sound? Hmm?

[Eun-myeong sobs]

[sobs]

[sniffles]

[uplifting feel-good music playing]

Hello!

I can't believe you came.

We're invited, so why would we not come?

Now, the girl who's getting married…

Is she the same little girl
who loved caramel?

Yes, you always gave her free candy.

It's Geum-myeong.

- Mm.
- [laughs]

- Go on in. Please.
- Go ahead, please.

- [Geum-myeong] It's wrinkled.
- [woman] Yeah, it is.

They got you.

- Oh, aren't you done up?
- [laughs]

- Where's Ju-gyeong?
- Ju-gyeong?

Wow, the photographer's late?

She's right there.

- Hey!
- Hey!

[chuckles]

[music fades]

[sighs]

I shouldn't have come.

- [Geum-myeong] Ju-gyeong!
- Hey! Hey!

Hurry up. Hurry, hurry!

Hey! Let's get set up.

- [balloon pops]
- [gasps, laughs]

[funky music playing]

- [Geum-myeong] Oh my God, they burst!
- She's so damn beautiful.

Hey, what kind of photographer is late?

- You missed me getting out of the car.
- Uh-huh.

- Wow! Aren't we confident today?
- Mm-hmm.

[laughs]

[Ju-gyeong] Okay.

[Geum-myeong]
Take pictures of me from here.

[Ju-gyeong] Okay.

- Look at you.
- [camera shutter clicks]

So pretty today.

- Here. On those steps.
- Let's get one there.

[Geum-myeong] In the end,
not everyone gets married

to their first or most passionate love.

Not that I loved him less,
but the temperature was different.

Oh, you sent us so many lovely tangerines.

You never have to buy
another tangerine again.

[Geum-myeong] It was just
the right temperature for me to be myself.

- [woman 2] Oh my.
- [middle-aged Ae-sun] Have you said hello?

[Geum-myeong] At last,
I had finally found my prince.

[tender piano music playing]

[groans]

[Geum-myeong chuckles]

[woman] It's a match made in heaven.

Was he always that silly,
or did you teach him?

Yes, I did.

[woman 2] Oh, how gorgeous.

[chuckles]

[emcee] The groom will now enter.

[cheering]

[emcee] Here comes our brave groom
down the aisle.

Let's all welcome him
with a round of applause.

[distant cheering]

Didn't I tell everyone I hate it
when people cry at weddings?

Just don't cry, Dad.
If you do, I'm gonna be so mad.

Uh… uh, you know,

it's better if you just
don't look at me for the entire time.

[Geum-myeong sighs]

Geum-myeong.

You sure you want this?

Because if you don't,

you can just back out
and run right back to me, all right?

[sobbing]

[wistful music playing]

Are you sure you want to eat this?

If it tastes bad, just back out.

Just spit it out, okay?

There we go.

YANG GEUM-MYEONG

Do these fit?

Make sure to say "Hello" like this
when you meet your teacher.

Just like this? "Hello, teacher."

Oh.

Honey, we can't send her
to school like this.

Let's wait until next year.

Oh my, oh my. Don't keep her here forever,
all right, Gwan Sik?

What are you gonna do
when she gets married?

You're being silly. Daddy's silly.

Geum-myeong, are you sure you're ready?

I'm sure, Dad. Jeong-geun is going.

What Jeong-geun does
is not your concern, okay?

I'm not sure I like it
that you two are so close.

I want to go to school.

Fine, go to school for now.

If you don't like it, back out.
Understand?

Just run back home to me, all right?

I'll be here, waiting for you. Hmm?

Mm-hmm!

Oh my.

Geum-myeong, you think you'll be able
to run fast in these?

- I think I'll be in first place, Dad.
- First?

- Ready, whoa!
- Go!

You have to wait
until I say go, all right?

Listen. You don't have to win Geum-myeong.

If you don't wanna do it, back out.

And if you happen to fall
out there tomorrow,

Dad will be right behind you. Got it?

Mm!

- Ready? Go!
- Go!

Oh gosh, no.

YOU CAN EASILY SCORE HIGH!

COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM IDENTIFICATION SLIP

[girl 1] Good luck!

[girl 2] Good luck, everyone!

[man] Let's go, Munil High!

- We always show up way too early.
- [boy] Let's go!

[Geum-myeong] Oh my God. Why is everyone
in this family so diligent?

What did you go through in life
that's made you like this?

Geum-myeong,
you're good at guessing answers, right?

[chuckles]

Why would I guess the answers?

Dad, I'm Yang Geum-myeong.

You're right.

I've been watching you all these years,
and I know you'll do well.

You're so good at everything
that I just know you will. [laughs]

Is that all you have to say to me
right now, Dad?

Aren't you gonna tell me
to back out if I want?

Well, yes, of course.
If your head hurts, and you can't do it,

just back out.

Just run away,
and I'll be here waiting for you, okay?

When I back out, you always have my back.

Almost time.
Are you sure you don't want any tea?

YANG GEUM-MYEONG

THE PRIDE OF DODONG!
MY DAUGHTER WILL GET IN!

[Geum-myeong] Every time
I had to walk a tightrope,

my dad was always holding a net close by.

"I'll catch you if you fall,"
he would say.

I should've told him when I had the chance

just how comforting his words were to me.

At least once.

It must've snowed
the whole time he was standing there,

waiting for his daughter
to come back to him.

[crying]

[emcee] The bride will now enter
to walk down the aisle.

Geum-myeong.

Your dad's right here.

You know that.

Go ahead. Do whatever you want, dear.
It's your call, okay?

[Geum-myeong] In the midst of
my dad's wintertime,

I began a new chapter in my life.

They had spent their youth
watching me grow

until I became my own person.

If Chung-seob makes you mad,
you can back out.

Dad's always here for you, okay?

[Geum-myeong] Stop it.

Why would you start
saying things like that right now, huh?

God, you're so frustrating.

[emcee] And now,

the bride!

["Bridal Chorus" playing]

[emcee] Put your hands together
for the bride.

[cheering]

Gwang-rye must be smiling ear to ear.

I'm sure of it!

She must be so happy.

At Ae-sun's wedding,

I was the one who couldn't stop crying
when her uncle walked her down the aisle.

[Geum-myeong] Mom kept smiling
because seeing her daughter's blessings

was like winning a medal to her.

[emcee] Uh, the groom is now approaching
the weeping bride

in the hopes of convincing her
to walk forward.

Please give them another hand
to encourage them.

Geum-myeong.

You said we'd keep it cool.

You're bawling your eyes out.

Are we not getting married?

Should we stop?

Let's do it.

[feel-good music playing]

Here.

[cheering]

[Geum-myeong] The day before Dad passed,

I told him, "Dad, I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

I must have said it a hundred times over.

That's when Dad told me,

"There's nothing to be sorry about."

"From the day you were born,
I was already in heaven."

See? Didn't I say your dad would cry
more than your mom?

My dad's crying?

I didn't think your dad
would drink like that.

Why are men always so tough
on their son-in-laws?

We all know he can't hold his liquor.

[Geum-myeong] He wanted to see
what kind of drunk Chung-seob was.

[middle-aged Ae-sun] Instead,
we get to see what kind of a drunk he is.

- Oh.
- [Geum-myeong] Hey, Dad.

Hey.

[Geum-myeong sighs]

What about your mom?

Sir?

Does she like Geum-myeong or not?

[Chung-seob] Oh.

My mother always goes on and on
about wanting a daughter of her own.

Honestly, I think
she likes her better than me, so--

Not that.

- Sorry?
- Not as a daughter-in-law. Not that.

Does she like her as a daughter of mine!

Oh, right. Yes.

- Park Chung-seob!
- Yes, Father.

Do you have any idea
whom you're taking from me?

Sir?

I am giving you…

my heaven on earth…

[feel-good music playing]

…even though you've done
absolutely nothing for her

throughout the first 30 years of her life.

From what I heard,

Mrs. Oh was the bookworm
that had a way with words.

Hey, "Heaven on Earth."

Carry your own honey.

That's how my dad
was forever robbed of his unrequited love.

[emcee] Now, the bride and the groom
will face the bride's parents.

The bride and the groom
will bow to the bride's parents.

[applause]

What?

The bride's father is crying. He's crying.

[man] Be quiet. Be quiet.

[emcee] The bride's father
must've truly adored his daughter.

[woman 5] Of course he's crying.

Gwan-sik is being robbed of his treasure
in front of everyone.

He wouldn't cry like that
if I ever got remarried.

I wish you both all the best. Go.

[emcee] Next, the bride and the groom
will bow to the groom's mother.

- [middle-aged Gwan-sik sobs]
- Pull yourself together, will you?

God, you're so embarrassing.

[emcee] The bride and the groom
will bow to his mother.

[feel-good music continues]

[beeping]

Who is it? Who's paging at this hour?

[scoffs] Who is this?

I don't know who this is.

I thought I told you
to dye your hair for the wedding.

It's turning gray.

Geum-myeong is going to
nag at me about that.

[scoffs] Oh, that girl.

I took good care of my husband.
She didn't look after her father.

From now on,
she can take care of her own husband.

[middle-aged Ae-sun laughs]

[Geum-myeong] Life never allows us
to relish these moments for too long.

[man] Yang Eun-myeong.

And you are?

[Geum-myeong] Happiness arrives before us,
but trouble approaches from behind.

Park Cheol-yong, your partner.

Where is he?

What?

[Je-il moaning]

[Geum-myeong] When your mom tells you
not to hang out with a friend,

she has a good reason.

[funky pop music playing]

"IF YOU CAN'T, JUST BACK DOWN.
WE'RE ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU."

[music fades]
