Ice-cream cone!

Hey, give me more ice cream with this cone!

Out of my way or you'll get hurt.

Hey, Mr. Park!

Why are you hauling the water?

'Cause Yongsun, my first daughter is on an errand...

My wife nagged me to get the water.

Where are you going all dressed up Hwang?

I'm on my way to get my commission for some realtor work I did last month.

You didn't get it yet?

That's what I'm saying he's so behind.

But, he said he'd pay me today for sure.

Really?

Hwang

if you get the money will you buy me a drink?

You have my word.

I'll drop by this evening.

Good.

In the summer, you buy a drink in the winter it's on me.

Fish, I got fresh fish!

Goldfish!

I have the sweetest melons on earth!

Goldfish!

Goldfish!

Put the pails down.

Let me empty them!

I thought the dog days were over.

Why is it so hot and humid?

What's going on with Yongsun? She's out day and night.

Oh, honey, don't get worked up she's a grown girl.

That's why I fret!

The more she's out the more trouble she's in.

Oh, there was a message from Mr. Lee's

What message?

They want you to fix the fire pit it caved in after the rainy season.

Mr. Park, you are already at work!

I left a message; I was worried that you would not be prompt.

Worried? 'On time' is my middle name.

Well, it's all done.

Yes ma'am I just need to wash my hands.

Hey, warm water for washing.

It's annoying. We light a fire and it's gone out the next minute.

That happens a lot after the rainy season.

But don't worry now I made it work properly.

Look, the problem was that the flu was not aligned.

I should've have let you do it from the beginning.

Making a fire pit asks for a lot of work

like getting along with a screwy old spinster.

After you wash your hands come up

and have something cold.

Great!

- Come on, it's all right. - Thank you.

Oh, not on the floor. Sit in the chair.

Don't bother about me.

No, you're my guest come be comfortable in the chair.

Really, I'm just fine here on the floor.

- No, Just Come up here. - My feet are so filthy, so...

I think you'll like this better than a cold beverage.

What's that, ma'am?

It's whisky.

We got it as a gift it's quite rare.

What a treat! Thank you very much!

It looks beautiful!

It's the same color as soybean sauce.

It's thought to be one of the best liquors.

I heard it helps keep you healthy.

- My innards don't deserve it. - Oh No, don't be shy.

Your children earn enough to treat you like this!

Don't give it a thought.

They've just begun to get by on their own.

So, getting such an expensive thing is not something I dwell on.

But I know people are envious of you and your children.

Well, because they are well-mannered there are rumors.

Your son works for a pharmaceutical factory?

Yes, he's been promoted to a manager.

I think I've had enough. No more, thank you.

He is in charge of deliveries.

He's not around much these days right?

Yes, he stays in the company dormitory.

Comes home every two weeks.

I'm telling you, I am proud of him.

I think you have a right to be.

And your second child is a daughter, yes?

- Myeongsun? - Right.

She must take after me.

She has nimble fingers which help her make her living.

You know the Gaepung building?

She is a typist for an airline company there.

Please type this, Myeongsun.

'No matter what see me in the coffee shop.'

Yes, right.

Miss Park! It's a call from your brother.

Hello

Yongbeom?

Myeongsun?

Hi, how is everything at home?

Dad is busy?

Naturally, after the rainy season.

Hey, Myeongsun, I get paid today.

Okay, tomorrow is Saturday and I'll leave at 3.

You want to meet at the bus stop?

Yeah, at the Shimjeong coffee shop.

I want you to meet someone.

Okay, I will be there at 4:00

bye.

Sorry, I'm late.

Is everything all right with your family?

Sure, thanks for caring, Jeomrae.

- Take this. - What's this?

It's rice candy that your mom likes.

I thought you'd be off tonight so...

You already trying to get in her good graces?

The package was great, so I thought it was jewelry.

I know the secret you work for the packing department!

Don't make fun of me, Yongbeom.

Mom will love this.

Then I will buy something for dad.

But you are so dear to mom more so than to dad, right?

Of course.

But mom always takes my sisters' side

and dad is on mine.

Your father supports you 'cause you're a most devoted, dutiful son.

Oh, you know the whole story?

Dad is my brother's bosom buddy.

So it goes well as long as it goes through my brother first.

Is your father that strict?

He is the most pig-headed person on earth.

He greets a stranger bluntly even rudely, saying...

'Who the hell are you? '

He belongs to a different generation.

I have news, too.

My aunt is coming soon from Hawaii to help with my wedding.

Your aunt? When?

In two months.

So, I want to see your dad as soon as I can

tonight would be great.

No, meeting dad directly is a bad plan.

Meet my brother tomorrow first.

If my brother is on our side there won't any trouble with dad either.

I've already told my brother about you... about your losing your parents.

Really?

You're so amazing with your planning.

- Myeongsun is late again! - She's busy at work.

How come you know so much about her?

I told you, she's old enough to be home late, don't butt in!

Like mother like daughter. Don't give them blind support!

- Eat quickly, dad. - Oh I'm expecting a guest.

Is there any liquor left?

Liquor is your best friend, dad!

Show some respect to your pa, smart-mouth!

At my age, nothing means more to me than liquor, smarty.

Please drop the 'smart-mouth'. People will find fault with that.

Never!

All the neighbors like me don't they buy me drinks?

- Park! - Yes.

Here you are.

All right.

In a moment.

Give me my rubber shoes.

Finish your dinner first!

Here.

Dimwit here is good at shining shoes.

- Dad, when are you coming back? - You're going out this late?

Don't start again.

She has a lot on her plate.

You Just go on.

Just be home!

It's you that's worries me most!

He's carefree when it comes to "hey, Park, let's have a drink.'

Mom, Jaecheon is learning how to drive.

- Driving? - For more than 2 months.

But he should get out of that gang first.

He did! Please tell Dad he's a good guy.

You know he's deaf to my words!

But remember however tough he is with you

he's proud of you all.

So, be careful not to hurt your father, by seeing Jaecheon.

- Hey, some liquor here. - Coming up.

This guy is a pain in my ass.

He paid me only half of the payment

- and couldn't care less. - Careful, it's too full.

Then it tastes better.

I'm crazy for you, lady.

Behave yourself!

Something with the liquor?

This afternoon I worked on Lee house fire pit.

So?

Mrs. Lee treated me with some westernliquor

that I didn't know about.

It tasted awful.

You should have some choice of what you drink!

When cows eat meat they get a stomachache.

For you and me,

this rice liquor at this bar is the best.

True, true.

But I'm curious;

do those who drink whisky have a special gut.

Let me put it this way.

Whisky or whatever, it's for the westernes, not for us.

It's like a nail in our coffin.

This rice liquor is the best.

Hwang...

How about a dish of pig liver!

Yes!

- Good. - I will make a special one.

- Make It a double. - No problem.

- What's with you? Just talk! - I don't give a damn!

I'll kill him! Don't get in my way!

Hey, cool off!

I don't give a damn if he is the son of a CEO.

I won't forgive his betrayal!

That bastard will pay for this!

What's the problem?

What? You son of a bitch!

Hey, riff-raff! Where do you think you are?

A cheap bar! And screw it!

What the? You... you...

Have you no respect for your elders?

Get him out of here.

Hey, let's go.

What rude trash!

What does school teach these days?

It's unbelievable!

They are drunk. Don't let it get to you.

I wonder what their parents are like.

I'm afraid my kids will turn out like that that's why I don't want kids.

- They act like thugs. - No argument there.

Park, you also should keep on eye on your children.

What are you talking about?

Okay let me tell you something.

What? Is it about my son or daughters?

- Yongbeom, your Son is the best. - I know.

- But Yongsun and Jaecheon... - Don't even start.

But your daughter Yongsun is in love with that guy!

- What? Yongsun? - I knew you knew nothing.

If you had seen what I saw, you'd have had a stroke!

Just tell me, what happened?

- You aren't drunk, are you? - If I am?

Listen.

A couple of nights ago,

I was passing by your house...

The scum, Jaecheon...

- oh, I can't do this, forget it. - You trying to make me angry or what?

Then I happened to see him...

Signaling to your daughter by whistling to her.

- Is your Dad home? - He Just went out.

I have something to tell you in private.

What if dad comes back while I'm gone?

Unless he sees us with his own eyes we're okay.

- But he smells a rat. - It will be all right.

Oh, it's so cool.

Yongsun, I'll get my drivers' license in 3 weeks.

- Are you sure? - Of course.

You want to see the training school card?

- Where is it? - Let me show you.

Have a seat here.

Now you believe me?

I can't wait to see you driving.

The day I show up with a driver's cap on...

Everyone will be surprised, your dad included.

Dad thinks of you as a street thug, believing the rumors.

Yongsun, I don't care what they say.

I'm determined to do the right thing.

My parents would be pleased to know

that you don't belong to the gang.

Yongsun, I'm a better person because of you.

Whatever happens, I can't think of life without you.

Then promise you won't be with the gang again.

Sure I promise.

I will make a living when I get the license.

And I will buy you a present.

- Really? - Just Wait and see.

Who's there?

It's nothing.

Jaecheon?

I feel addicted to you missing you every moment.

I even see you in my dreams, Yongsun.

How disgusting, are you out of your mind?

It's how he kissed your daughter.

Hwang!

Every word of yours is true as steel, right?

Sure, you want me to kiss you again?

- I will kill... - You're drunk?

She kissed a guy without asking me?

Don't tell her I told you, got it?

You lecherous old goat you lied!

I told you, I saw it with my own eyes!

But I'm scared that the thug may beat me to a pulp!

- Lf he asks, you know nothing. - Park, hey, wait!

Shall we have something cold?

No, it's too late. Mother's waiting and fretting.

Okay let's take a cab home.

That slut!

Why are you locking the gate?

That whore!

- Where is Yongsun? - She's on an errand.

What's wrong with you?

What a damnable mess this is!

She flirts with a lowlife scum without asking me a thing.

I don't want to hear that crap again.

If I find you two plotting against me,

I will break your legs!

Honey, you're drunk,

just stay home.

- Did you see Yongsun? - No, sir.

Slut! When I get my hands on you...

What? My dad is over there.

Did you Yongsun?

I saw her walking down under the bridge.

Bridge? I'll catch you red-handed!

- Yongsun, get home fast. - See you tomorrow.

If you run into Dad Just be polite.

Got it.

- Mom, is Myeongsun home yet? - Not yet.

You didn't see your father out there?

I didn't see him. Why?

What happened between you and Jaecheon?

Nothing.

- Your father is furious. - Why?

He blew his top, thinking you kiss men without asking him.

Oh he puts too much trus in the rumors!

Mom!

I'm ashamed of poppa!

Why?

He toppled off the bridge, drunk.

Oh my god, I knew this was coming.

He went crazy. Is he hurt at all?

Over here.

Honey, are you all right?

- I am sorry, Jushik. - Hey, wake up!

It's nothing.

Jushik, this is my mom. Mom, this is Jushik.

Nice to meet you. I'm Ahn Jushik.

I've heard so much about you,

have a seat.

Wake up, dear. You disgraced yourself, didn't you!

Please bring me some water.

Yongsun, you deceived me!

Yongsun is not home. I sent her on an errand.

- The slut! - Bring the water, quickly!

You're driving me crazy.

Sorry but I need to get going, it's late.

I can't thank you enough.

- Good bye, Mrs. Park - Nice meeting you.

What, who is it? Come here.

It's someone looking for you.

- Say hello to him tomorrow. - For me? Who is it?

He carried you on his back all the way home!

- What? Carried me on his back? - How shameful for your children!

Please, stop being an idiot

- and go into the bedroom. - I am bright eyed and bushy tailed!

I said stop. Let's go to the room.

I'm okay, you can go now.

- Will you Come again tomorrow? - Of course.

- Go. - Good bye, take care.

Sorry, I'm late.

Yongbeom will be here any minute.

Let's take a cab.

Haebangchon, please.

Not to Seoul Station?

Yongbeom is always frugal, he came sharing a cab.

Oh? Then, after the department store let's buy a drink for your father.

After we meet Yongbeom.

Jushik, this is how it should go.

You're my brother's buddy, so mind your manners in front of dad.

What if your brother doesn't help?

That's why we'll meet Yongbeom first.

You're the only one I trust.

But I'd be stunned if your dad says 'who the hell are you? '

Just defer to him if you want to win his favor.

Is your dad home?

Sure, he must be home since Yongbeom is coming.

It's nap time for him.

This goes to Wonhyoro! Hurry, get on!

Go, go.

Jushik, dad is there!

- What? - Look!

He must be waiting for Yongbeom let's go to the coffee shop.

Over there.

- What time is it? - 4 o'clock.

My back aches.

- Yongbeom, here you are! - Dad!

Give your stuff to me.

- You shouldn't do this. - I've been here so long.

- You're later than last time. - I am busy at work.

Let's go.

Dad could see us, let's move.

Since you moved away from home,

Myeongsun's home late every night.

She must be busy at work.

Dad, would you mind waiting here a moment?

I have to see my friend in the coffee shop.

Your friend?

Okay, I will be here.

- Give them to me - It's okay.

No, you could lose them in there.

It won't take long, dad.

- Okay, keep It short. - Of course.

Yongbeom, over here.

Yongbeom, this is Jushik, Jushik, this is Yongbeom, my brother.

- I'm Ahn Jushik. - I am Park Yongbeom.

Give him a juice too.

I've heard a lot about you from Myeongsun.

Drink up.

Just treat me like your younger brother.

Let's have the juice.

I know your father is too demanding to understand me at first...

I want to tell you about me in advance to get your support.

Myeongsun is right, you give a good first impression.

Have you seen my father?

Sort of, but nothing formal.

You'd be stunned to hear what dad did last night.

What happened?

Dad fell off the bridge, roaring drunk.

And?

Jushik carried him on his back home.

Oh, that was very kind. I should have done that.

By the way, my sister is like a youngster to me

- so please take care of her. - On the contrary,

I learn a lot from her.

And no worries with dad tonight, I'll put in a good word for you.

Yongsun looks forward to see you, too.

Is she? Is she still going out with Jaecheon?

Yeah, but dad's in such a fit about Jaecheon,

he agonizes all night.

But dad only wants our happiness.

Hey, come on, son!

Hey, watch out, kid!

Yongbeom!

- Come on, let's go home. - Wait a moment.

Myeongsun, I'll get home first. See you later.

You didn't see us here, okay?

Excuse me.

Now it's done.

- Give them to me, dad. - It's okay.

What took you so long?

What were the other two doing?

- My friend was dating his fiancee. - Not married?

Oh, boys and girls these days!

But the world is changing, people in love see each other.

Don't hand me that...

If Myeongsun does that, I will kill her.

- Mr. Park! - Yes!

I've got something to ask you.

You go first.

Mother!

- Yongbeom is home? - He Just got here.

- Yongbeom. - How have you been?

Mom's not home?

- She went shopping for dinner. - Out shopping?

- Yongbeom, I'm in big trouble! - What?

Dad suspects I'm going out with Jaecheon.

He'll kill me if he sees me.

If dad asks, I'm not home, okay?

Don't worry.

Is your Mother home?

Looks like she's out.

She's crazy, leaving the house unwatched!

Where's Yongsun?

She's busy with something. Oh, my back aches.

What's in the bag?

- It's laundry. - Take them out.

- How about a drink? - Ah, you bet!

Here you go.

Let me see, I need some snacks.

- Where are you going? - To the kitchen.

- No, you don't have to. - Why?

- Let me get you something. - No, you take a rest.

No, you just sit still, Dad.

Do you know what is where?

Take that radish, on the shelf.

Okay.

Over there.

Here you are.

- It's ages since I drank this! - Let me pour for you, Dad.

Watch out, it's overflowing!

Let me pour.

Me? I am okay Dad, it's your call.

- Is Yongsun home? - No, she's not here!

What are you women up to?

Damn!

Yongbeom, I have a question.

Go ahead...

When a girl and a boy kiss, what are they supposed to do next?

- What happened? - Nothing, Just out of curiosity.

If they kissed...

They should be married.

No matter what kind of bum he is?

If Yongsun is the girl,

you wouldn't let her marry him?

If she did it, I will kill...

Oh, here comes your mother.

- Mother! - Yongbeom, are you home?

How have you been? Come on up.

What was so urgent, that you left home unwatched?

Yongsun, take this for me.

What am I saying? I sent her on an errand!

She must be in the kitchen!

- I told you, I sent her on an errand. - I don't you trust Mother?

You drink in the middle of the day?

Oh, are you drinking again?

It's what Yongbeom bought for me!

Oh, Mother! I have Something for you.

What is it?

- Rice candy. - Thank you so much.

Let's eat this when Yongsun comes home.

Okay.

- Break It into small pieces. - Okay.

Dad, when is Myeongsun coming home?

When it's after dark, she's late.

- Take them off. - Yes, father.

- Dad is drinking, that's good. - Is your Mother home, too?

Who is? What's going on?

- Yongbeom, How have you been? - I'm doing great, thanks.

Are you doing well too?

- Are you home from work? - Come on up.

How are you, sir?

Pigs can fly? How come you are home this early?

Father, it's Saturday!

Hey, Jushik, say hello to my dad.

Nice to meet you, sir I am Ahn Jushik.

Ahn Jushik?

Oh, what shall I do now?

- Last night he carried you... - Don't, Mom!

He works for the same company as Myeongsun.

- You work with Myeongsun? - Yes.

I'm being forward saying this, but...

I've been in love with Myeongsun for more than 5 months now.

We got something for you, Father.

Here it is.

You don't have to Do this.

What the?

Hey, Jushik, please leave!

Father, it's rude if you ignore his kindness.

This sneaky gift plot doesn't work on me!

If you do that, Yongbeom will lose his friend's respect!

Do what?

Myeongsun, quit the company!

What's wrong with you? Myeongsun did nothing wrong.

- Mother, stay out of this. - She should!

- You won't budge? - Father, Please calm down.

I won't move until I say what's on my mind.

- You aren't going? - No, just sit!

- Then I will leave. - That man! What a temper!

Mother, where is he going?

Where else? To the Ohdong bar, probably.

Hello!

I will go get dad you just prepare dinner, Mom.

You want to go? Okay, but get back early.

- I'll be back soon. - Take care, Yongbeom.

- Yongbeom, bring Father home. - Don't worry.

- Jushik, you have a lot of spunk. - Spunk?

He always picks on strangers. You took care of him.

Frankly, I was pretty shaky.

- Help yourself. - Thank you.

- Yongsun, Come up. - Yes, Come here.

It's so cool. Sit next to me.

Dad, are you all right? You drink too much!

I've been miserable out since you left home...

So I've been drinking every night since.

It tears my heart apart, but I think of how to be a good son all the time.

Oh, you are my boy.

- Have a smoke. - No, I shouldn't!

You're not a kid any more.

Even if I make a fuss with Myeongsun or Yongsun...

They will leave us to join other families.

Dad, don't think about them that way.

When you're gone,

they'll shed more tears than anyone.

Who will even know if I am dead?

You are drunk, Dad.

And, Dad?

If Yongsun or Myeongsun has someone in mind

let them get married this year.

No, I want to see you have a wedding first.

- Yongbeom? - Yes?

Isn't there a girl you like?

To be honest, Jeomrae, who works for my company, likes me.

What? Not the other way around?

I do, I like her too.

But I want my parents to approve of her first.

Then I will tell your mother about it and pay her a visit.

- Mother already knows. - What?

Dad, please drop by my office in a few days.

The guy who came with Myeongsun,

he's got guts, which is impressive.

And he's intelligent and warm-hearted.

I read his fortune from his face he's born lucky.

Myeongsun loves him, which says it all.

I intended to drive him away but I didn't.

I will see how he's doing.

I am sure you will like him too. He's a great guy.

I've kept you from Mother too long she's waiting.

No, I'd like to stay like this...

I want to talk over things all night.

Oh, it could look weird, two men being so close!

What's weird? We freaks, burglars or what?

Mr. Park, do you have an important appointment?

- I'm going to Yongbeom's office. - Oh, right.

- It hurts. - Oh, sorry.

Make me a handsome, okay?

I see, you're going to take a look at Yongsun's fiancee, right?

You're nuts...

Why do you care about Yongsun's life?

Is there something on your mind?

Well, the cutest girl in town

is half-hearted about getting married.

What? Half-hearted?

So, even that lowlife, Jaecheon, is after her.

Speaking of which, I was thinking of talking with you about this matter.

You know what? You are way out of her league.

Just wait and see who Yongsun will have to marry her.

Hey, Gabdeuk!

- Let me ask you something. - What is it?

Is that true that Jaecheon quit the gang

and is learning to drive?

Why?

You want him to be your son-in-law if he becomes a driver?

No, I'm just asking, because there's a rumor says so.

He's such a thug.

'Trust' doesn't apply to him.

Hey, Gabdeuk!

- See you for a sec? - Sure.

Wait a moment, please.

What's up?

You seen Jaecheon today?

If you want to see him, he's at the driving school,

what's up?

Driving school, where?

Don't worry, I know where it is.

When you see Jaecheon tell him we want to see him.

I've not seen him at all for more than a week.

Since he fell for Yongsun, he doesn't give a damn about us!

Worse, he's turned against us he'll pay for that.

Screw the driver bullshit! I'll never let him out of the gang!

He must have it in for me, too.

We got a plan to teach him a lesson tonight.

- You're in, right? - Okay.

You just watch me.

It's been hours

since your father went to the barber's. What's going on?

Mom, be sure to bring a photo of Yongbeom's girl friend.

Photo? I'll see.

Tell him that Jaecheon will get the drivers' license in 10 days!

- I see, don't leave home unwatched. - Don't worry.

Okay, see you.

Jeomrae!

Mr. Park wants to see you in the backyard.

- Mr. Park? - Yeah, hurry.

You want to see me?

Ah, you're here.

I want to tell you that my parents will be here during lunch break...

They can't wait to see you, so...

You mean I should meet them in my working clothes?

Why not?

Just be what you are it's what my dad wants to see.

But it will be the first time I meet them.

It's not your clothes that he wants to see.

Just get back to work and don't worry.

I'll call you.

- I see. - See you later.

This is Sosa! Quickly

- Honey, tickets. - Quickly.

Here you are.

Hey, can I ask you something?

- The pharmaceutical company... - Go straight this way.

Hurry up, get on!

Let's go.

The bus is leaving, hurry!

Oh, it's a long way?

- No, I see the building. - Where?

This is a huge place!

Let's ask where Yongbeom works.

Let's.

Oh, I'm afraid, we'll get lost because it's enormous!

He said he'd come to guide us.

- Honey, let's ask him. - Good.

- Hey, Who the hell are you? - I'm... a watchman here.

We're here to see Mr. Park, manager of the delivery dept.

- He's my son. - Honey, keep quiet.

Deliveries manager?

- Here he comes. - Hey, we're here.

Welcome, Dad. I've been waiting for you.

- You finish your shift? - Not really, But It won't Take long.

Let's go this way.

So, Did you tell her we're here to see her?

Sure I did.

- You shouldn't have told her. - Why not?

I can watch her secretly, pretending to be a stranger.

Cut it out, you're not up to it. Pretending to be what?

She'd notice you in a minute.

Shut up, if you disagree with me!

Honey, watch out!

Hey, look at all the stuff!

So That goes to all over the country?

No, they are going to be shipped overseas.

Overseas?

They'll go to Thailand.

Oh, Thailand! You have a good job.

All this is really amazing!

Mom!

Wait here a moment, I'll bring her here.

- Hurry up. - Okay

Why are you far behind?

I want to take my time and look around.

- Step on it, hurry! - Okay.

Jeomrae!

Mom!

This is my mother from Seoul.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Park. I hope you enjoyed your trip here.

Oh, what an adorable girl you are!

Mother, where is dad?

He was just here!

Maybe he went to the rest room.

Restroom?

Oh, what a lucky man you are, Yongbeom!

Mom, we'll take a lunch break in 20 minutes.

- Go into the reception room. - We'll do that.

I'll wait for your dad and we'll go there together.

Manager Park,

to the General affairs bureau immediately.

Oh, my son, you're in demand! It's great!

Mother, I will be back soon, please wait here.

Don't worry, we'll wait.

Hey!

Where have you been?

- Yongbeom is gone? - Yes, and Jeomrae was here too.

I'm so proud of him, his fiancee is fabulous.

How can you say that? You didn't even see her!

When you are far away from a person,

you get a clear impression.

Here he comes.

Father!

- Have you been to the restroom? - Restroom? Sure.

It's too hot out here let's go inside.

And what are those beautiful houses?

They're for company employees.

Oh, then you live there?

No, only married couples do.

- I live in the singles dorm. - Do you?

- Then you should get married soon. - That's too much!

Let's go inside, it's cool in there.

- Okay, let's go. - Yes, let's.

Come on in.

Have a seat, Dad.

Wait here a moment, I will bring Jeomrae.

Take your time.

Yongbeom will treat us to lunch right?

What a worrywart!

Take off your hat.

And put it under the chair!

Where do you mean?

You look so awful in that hat.

What's wrong with it?

This is my hat, nothing awful about it!

You pigheaded old dog.

When she arrives, greet her as if it's the first time you saw her.

Don't worry, I'll act natural.

Just relax, my parents have the warmest hearts on earth.

Oh, I'm starving, what's taking so long?

Please be patient and don't make a fuss!

- Who is it? - Here they come.

Your knocking surprised me!

This is Mr. Park, my father.

Nice to meet you, I'm Kang Jeomrae.

Oh, that's enough. No need for a big bow!

Aren't you a sweetheart! I am his father.

Let's have some lunch.

Oh, I'm not hungry, though.

That sounds great, let's go out.

- Let's go, Dad. - I'm coming.

Thanks.

I liked the food here.

Are you finished already?

Sure, one bowl of rice... To be honest, I was famished.

- Then have some more. - No, thanks.

Then water?

- Sweetie? - Yes?

Maybe I keep going on about this.

What I want from you two is very simple;

Just love each other and be happy.

And have kids and a good family.

I'll keep your words in mind, sir.

You won't forget?

What a great girl!

Dad, I heard Jaecheon turned over a new leaf...

To better himself for Yongsun he's even learning to drive.

He's a useless piece of crap!

Honey, listen to Yongbeom about that.

I know he'll be licensed in 10 days.

Okay, he's got looks and he's a scrapper

Sure.

But he's in a gang!

All done?

Why brought you here?

I couldn't wait to see you driving.

Things okay with your dad?

Mom and dad went to Yongbeom's factory

to see his fiancee.

Really?

Then Yongbeom will get married soon.

You told your mom that I'll get the license in 10 days?

Sure, she'll tell Yongbeom. Then he'll know what to do with that.

Yongsun, I got something to tell you. Shall we go to the park?

If you want.

Then come to visit us soon, Jeomrae.

Now, back to work, we used up a lot of your time.

- Get on. - Hurry, the bus is leaving.

- You get back to work! - Step on it! The bus is leaving.

- Good bye and take care. - Good bye, dad.

Take care.

See you soon.

Don't forget to be home for dad's birthday!

Hey, we're leaving!

Oh, you don't know when to stop! You overdo it.

- Your hat! - Where's my hat?

- Stop the bus! - Driver, stop, stop!

Jushik will be here in 10 minutes

and dad hasn't gone. What should I do?

I should get going! Today, Jaecheon graduates.

Tell mom to make up an excuse to tell dad.

Okay.

- Oh, it's so cool. - Mother, help us,

we need dad out of here...

Hey, don't forget to feed the squirrels.

Jushik will be here any minute.

Out of all the days, he has no work today!

The bars of soap are gone already! What'd you do with them? Eat them?

Mother, tell him to go to a public bathhouse. We'll pay.

Yes! Brilliant idea.

- Honey. - What?

Why don't you stop bathing here and go to a public bath.

Yes, do that.

Public bath? Hot soak?

At this hour, there are few people there.

You stink, hurry!

- I will pay, dad. - Good.

You'll pay?

No reason to say no, a hot soak is good.

- Have a relaxing time. - You bet.

Ah, scrubbing at a bathhouse...

- Hurry! - Put on your clothes first.

Yongsun, it worked!

Father's ready!

Dad, here is the money.

This is more than the bath costs.

After your soak, have some drinks or something.

- What a lucky father! - You are my daughter!

Okay, I'll do as you say.

Don't bring your smell and grime home.

Take your time!

No need to tell me! I will get my money's worth.

Let me see I got 400 more than I need.

Take your time Dad won't be back for 3 hours.

Myeongsun, I've got to run.

Tell Jaecheon to call on your father, now he's licensed!

We already planned to.

Be back before it's too late!

- Yongsun, don't be late. - Sure.

Hello, Yongsun.

Myeongsun, Jushik is here for you!

- Hi! - Oh, how are you?

How are you doing?

- Come up. - Thanks, I will.

- Come up. - Thanks, I will.

- And Mr. Park isn't home yet? - He's off at public bath.

Is it locked? What's going on?

It's closed?

Look at the notice. It's a regular day off.

'Closed, 1st and 15th every month.'

You never know what day it is.

- Yongsun, you got time tonight? - Never!

- Get out of my way. - You're going to see Jaecheon?

I got two movie tickets; join me.

Please try to understand how I feel.

Move... It's so embarrassing.

What?

I'll never let Jaecheon get what he wants.

Then have a good time.

If dad asks, tell him I am at the book store.

Don't worry. I'll make something up.

Bye, Mother.

Be careful and don't go up too high.

What?

- Hello, sir. - You are here... again?

Where are you going?

Dad, our minds are tired, they need some recreation.

- Your minds need What? - Recreation.

She means, we need to climb a mountain or relax on the beach.

- So, you are on your way to the mountain? - Yes.

- Only the two of you? Yes.

Father, I won't be late let me go.

Now I see. You drove me out to have a secret date.

Just the two of you? No!

Give me my helmet.

- What are you going to do? - I'm going with them.

No, Mom... I don't know what to do.

Here.

Since I my mind gets tired fixing fire pits, I'll join you.

- Oh no, dad. - You just don't!

I won't let you two go to the mountain.

- But it's tough going, sir. - After you.

Please stop it! Let them go on their own.

- Please lead the way. - Please don't lose your temper!

Myeongsun, stop your father!

It's so annoying!

Myeongsun, I'm out of breath. Let's take a break.

You take too many breaks!

- Just keep going. - Don't leave me behind.

I told you, you did not have come here.

- Where is the bastard? - Up there!

Is he a freak or something?

That's not funny!

Yahoo!

Yahoo!

'Yahoo', what is that for?

Jushik and I communicate with each other.

He's already up high. How fearless he is!

To hell with fearless, he's a nuisance

Why do you say that?

Yahoo!

Because of that weird sound!

Yahoo!

He's signaling me to come up.

Yahoo!

I'm sick of hearing that 'yahoo'. You go up on your own.

Dad, if you need my help, shout 'yahoo'

Yahoo!

Hey, Myeongsun.

I'm dead thirsty.

I'll bring water after I join Jushik.

How thirsty I am for a drink! I want rice liquor!

Am I that old?

What would that bastard do to my little girl?

Yahoo!

However you shout yahoo or whatever,

you're still a loser!

Jushik!

Come with me!

Myeongsun, my helmet!

You stay there.

- Your Dad is far behind? - He wants to Take It slow.

Okay then let's go up.

Sounds like dad is calling you!

Yahoo!

He collapsed from thirst and exhaustion, didn't he?

He wants water badly.

Yahoo!

Yahoo, Myeongsun.

Yahoo!

- I'm getting worried. - Let's go down.

Father!

Hurry.

Father!

Myeongsun, he's here.

Father!

Hold this.

Hold this tight.

Wait.

What a relief!

Give me some water.

Here it is.

What happened, sir?

You just asked for all this pain.

What am I doing here? I am such an idiot!

Sir, are you okay?

My helmet!

Hold this.

- Did anything happen to you? - What are you talking about?

- Shall We have ice flakes. - What If Dad is looking for me?

Don't forget I'm a registered driver.

I will see your dad in no time, so don't worry.

Jaecheon!

Look at you.

Wait here.

Jaecheon, don't go. They are the gang jerks.

Let's get out of here, fast!

Jaecheon, stop there.

Stop!

Jaecheon, stay there. Stop.

What's this for?

Don't answer or anything.

Are you scared of us?

You even lost your balls since you got this bitch!

Meaning?

We're going to throw a party because you got a license!

Let's go.

Thanks, but I'm busy now.

- Five minutes is all I want. - Let's Do It tomorrow.

It's late, let's go quickly.

But we have no 'tomorrow'.

We have something to settle so just go like a man, okay?

Let me go. Just talk about it here.

I don't think so, 'cause it's secret.

Yongsun, wait here for 5 minutes.

- Don't go with them! - You stay here.

Yongsun, where are you going?

Why are you with Jaecheon?

Keep your nose out of it hands off me!

Yongsun, I already asked for your dad's permission!

Out of my way, loser!

- He won't be back to you in one piece. - What?

- Jaecheon! - What? You bitch!

Jaecheon!

Why are you looking back?

Just go.

- Don't make a sound! - Someone help me.

Oh, help!

Yongsun!

Now tell me, what 's the secret?

It's the punishment you deserve for your betrayal!

So... you want to beat me up?

I 'm giving you one last chance to come back to us.

You want me to come back to the gang world?

No need to fight. You are the winner, period.

I don't belong to your trash world any more.

Trash?

Yongsun!

Jaecheon!

Yongsun!

You bastard!

Jaecheon, no!

Don't fight!

- Yongsun, don't look. - Violence is no good!

You son of a bitch.

Jaecheon!

Jaecheon!

Oh, no, hang on, Jaecheon!

What's wrong?

Where were you last night?

Dad is home?

He went out to search for you.

Last night the gang scum attacked Jaecheon.

What? What happened?

He didn't fight back

because I asked him not to; he was severely hurt.

So you were with him last night?

I sat up with him nursing him, afraid he'd die.

Yongsun...

- I have news about this louse. - Where have you been?

Jaecheon was in a fight with the gang!

What?

I'll kill her!

Oh, honey, calm down please, hands off!

- I'm so sorry! I made a mistake, Dad. - Please, hands off!

- Let her go! - You stupid bitch!

So every night you've sneaked away like that?

- Dad, it's my entire fault. - I will kill...

- Take your hands off! - You stay out of this!

So where were you last night?

You put me to shame in the neighborhood.

You know that?

She was at her girl friend's. Stop this nonsense!

Tell me the truth, or get out!

You're acting crazy!

Yongsun!

Let her go!

Hello, Mr. Park!

What is it?

- Could you fix Our fire pit? - I'll be there in a minute.

You completely lost it! You beat your own daughter?

Yongsun, why are you crying?

- Don't sit up. - I'm okay.

- Your Dad hit you? - It's nothing.

You want me to go to your dad?

No!

Jaecheon! I wish we could run away and live on our own.

Don't worry, you and I will move into my aunt's tomorrow.

I'm sick of the gossip, and these people.

Yongsun, don't worry!

When I recover and start work, we can do whatever makes us happy.

Yes, President? You want to speak to Mr. Park?

It's for you.

I'll be there in a minute, sir.

Come on in.

- You want to see me? - Yes.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

I heard you're engaged to Jeomrae in the packaging section, right?

Yes, even my parents approved of it.

What a perfect couple!

- Congratulations. - Thank you, sir.

I think this news could be a great wedding gift for you.

For me? What?

The board has decided to set up a branch in Thailand...

And to appoint you the first manager for the branch.

- Me? - You don't seem excited.

It's only for a married couple

and the transfer will be as long as 5 years.

Of course, you could feel uneasy about your old parents, so...

I can't thank you enough, sir!

But I'd be grateful if you'd let me think it over for awhile.

Certainly. Anyway, it's your call and you have 50 days.

But I'd be happy

if you don't miss this chance of a lifetime.

It's so thoughtful of you.

I'll try to talk my parents into agreeing to this plan.

It would be best if you get married then leave as a family.

Yes, sir.

These are the forms you must fill out.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, back to work.

- Just Do your best. - Of course.

Sorry for your parents,

but you shouldn't miss a once in a life time chance.

But I'm not sure how they will take this

because they're so attached to me...

They are wise enough to look at it on a long term basis.

When I left home, they went through lonely nights at first.

If you are so uncomfortable with it I will tell Father.

No, I will get the paper work done and wait for the best timing.

Everything will work out. Cheer up.

We can give them enough financial support

before we leave.

You have no idea what they really want from me.

But I believe they'll be on your side.

What?

You turn against me after 10 years?

My marriage is not for you to do with as you please.

Aunt, there's nothing more to say. It's all done.

All done?

When your father died he asked me to look after you.

And you're the head of this family line for three generations.

Have you no regard for your family's reputation?

You know better than anyone that I've been alone all my life!

So please support my choice of the woman

with whom I want to spend my life!

Not if it means sitting back, watching you mess up your life

with a scheming uneducated slut!

I don't want to talk about it any more.

This is my life. Stay out of it.

You idiot!

Your auntjust doesn't see me as a worthy fiancee, right?

But she's up to something else she thinks this big fuss will work...

to claim a large share of my inheritance.

But she didn't even see me in person and hates me?

It's so upsetting.

I want to see her right away and tell her how much we love each other.

No need to bother at the moment.

Trouble fades away as time passes.

There is another stiff necked person other than my dad.

Don't worry.

Whatever scheme she concocts, I'll be with you forever.

There is only one woman for me, it's you, Myeongsun.

But you are not assertive enough so I'm nervous.

Myeongsun, let's not talk about my aunt any more.

If we remain steadfast, nothing will stop us.

Jushik, sorry I am no help in this matter.

But don't worry so much.

Just think of my dad.

First, he didn't even want to say hello to you, but...

Once he saw your sincerity...

He's told me 'Do whatever it takes for Jushik to be with you! '.

Mom, Yongsun even forgot dad's birthday!

I'm afraid so.

This dish goes there.

This can go through, to that room.

It's hot, be careful.

- Oh, it's quite a meal! - Help yourself.

- You're so beautiful! - No kidding!

Bring dad.

Father!

You look splendid today!

Go out to the living room.

Tell Father about the Thailand office.

Not now, he's down because Yongsun is not here.

I'll tell him tonight in private.

Father, come here, please.

Honey, it's your birthday, enjoy it!

Dad, don't worry so much about Yongsun.

Today I'm here for you.

Let's make an appearance.

Help yourself without me.

- No, dad. - Let's go out there...

Set the table, please.

- Look at you! - He's gorgeous!

- Enjoy the meal. - I will!

Help yourself.

Isn't your son with you?

No, he's by himself.

Okay, go join your children.

- Just one glass for me. - You go say Hello to them.

Hey, please serve more dishes to those in that room.

Yongsun, his daughter ran away.

He's smiling but crying inside.

Look at Yongbeom's fiancee she's great.

Have a seat.

Jushik is not here yet.

He's supposed to be here by 9:00.

Help yourself while the food is warm.

Father.

- Here is a birthday gift for you. - You didn't have to do this.

It's a suit.

This is from my son.

You need it anyway for our wedding.

Hey, honey take this for me.

Father, many happy returns.

I am curious what's inside this small box?

It's a watch.

- Here. - Try It on in front of the kids.

Dad, try this on.

Myeongsun, Jushik is here.

Hey, thank you for coming.

- How are you, sir? - Good, come on up.

We've been waiting for you.

- Sorry, I am late. - No problem.

Over there.

Have a seat.

Is he the fiance to his second daughter?

Take yourjacket off.

Father, remove the tag!

Hey, don't you have anything in your hands?

What nerve to ask for a gift!

- They're shoes, dad. - Oh, Thanks so much.

Sorry it couldn't be more.

Shoes...

Then you all dreamed this up, huh?

Honey, getting all these,

I am getting greedy and want to live long.

Sure, Dad, live a long and happy life!

- Help yourself. - Cheers.

Hwang, cheers!

No more drinks, I want to have some food.

- But it's a party and we need to drink. - No, food first!

Well I changed my mind.

- Where are you going? - Hang on...

This is my party let's have drinks!

I'm full, help yourself.

Hwang, do you see something on my wrist?

- It's a neat watch! - Don't touch!

It's from Jeomrae Yongbeom's fiancee.

Mr. Park, you should be proud of your kids!

Try to get some news of my family.

All right.

Will you be here for me at midnight when I finish work?

Yes.

Out of all the company employees why you?

Dad, that's the point! We had stiff competition.

Only a few get this chance!

So?

If you leave, who can your mother and I count on?

Sorry, but drop the plan.

Dad, It's tormenting to bring this up, please understand!

I said no, and I meant no!

It's as long as 5 years!

If you really want to go, go when I die.

Father! We'll do our best for you to live comfortably while we're away.

You know what I want from you...

I want to see you and your wife happy with kids next to me.

But. This is my future. I need your assent. Please say yes.

Mother isn't okay with it unless you say yes.

Listen to me.

Is it the only way for you to have success in your life?

What if the plane crashes?

In one second you're dead, no way out,

and then it's all over!

But I am going.

It's a way to grow as a person and be a good son, too!

Please cut the crap!

I want you to be next to me at the last moment of my life.

Yongsun left home and now I feel depressed.

Now if you leave, what's left for me?

Yongbeom, you're the best son ever in this neighborhood.

And you're saying you'll leave your own parents?

I didn't raise you to let you leave us like this.

Let's go home.

- Good morning! - Hi, you're late.

Sorry, I got up late.

Miss Park!

- A letter came for you. - A letter?

'My love, Myeongsun... '

'Sorry about this bombshell news.'

'I unexpectedly received a draft order'

in the middle of an argument with my aunt.'

'Without advance notice, I'm leaving for the army this morning.'

'Sorry for not saying good bye to you

and your parents.'

'Let's keep in touch with letters.'

'God bless. With love, Jushik.'

You look troubled, bad news?

No, it's nothing.

I should say yes to my boss by tomorrow.

I don't want to hear it! I said no!

Honey, I learned that Yongsun is at Jaecheon's aunt's house.

Jaecheon's aunt's?

Jaecheon has been employed as a driver for his aunt.

We must Do whatever It takes to bring her back.

Absolutely.

You're sure? She is there?

Let's go there and bring her back.

I can't wait around helplessly losing my daughter.

Hello, yes, that's right.

Myeongsun, it's a call for you from an unknown woman.

Hello, yes this is Myeongsun.

This is Jushik's aunt.

When he left, Jushik asked me to meet your father.

You want to meet my father? I see.

At 8:00 at your house?

I don't know what it's about but may I go instead?

No, it's about your marriage. I need to talk with your father.

8:00 sharp!

- Yongbeom! - Oh, you are home!

Is father home?

Mom and Dad found out where Yongsun is

and went to see her.

That's good.

Then what shall I do?

What's is it?

I got a call from Jushik's aunt and she said...

She wants to see dad at 8:00 tonight at her house.

Dad? What for?

Jushik left to enter the army this morning.

Oh, really?

Oh, my poor little sister, missing his love.

Don't make fun!

I have news. I got seats on your airline's flight.

- And the medical checkup? - All done by tomorrow.

Dad is okay with things?

I will push him harder.

Let's go home, sweetie.

What's worse, your brother is asking dad

to allow him to leave the country...

So your dad is resentful and I'm in an awkward situation.

I'll go back home only when Jaecheon sees dad.

An unmarried young girl lives with her boy friend, People will talk!

Dad is here too, so just say hello to him.

I won't.

Damn.

Honey, just tell her you forgive her and bring her home.

She looks miserable.

- When is Jaecheon back from work? - Around midnight.

So, she won't go home?

Honey, just coax her. Go on...

What for? If she wants, let her have her own way!

Please! 'Sorry' is not the most difficult word to say!

But she doesn't want to see me, so why should I?

Deep down inside, she wants to see you, trust me.

No, I'm out of here! You stay over with her.

What an unbelievable old dog!

- Hello, dad. - Is It dinner time?

You alone? Where is Mother? Did you see Yongsun?

She's with Yongsun tonight.

- Shall I set dinner for you? - Don't think so. Give me water.

Jushik's aunt wants to see you at 8:00 at her house.

Jushik's aunt? What aunt?

His aunt recently came back from Hawaii!

- Hawaii? - Yes.

I guess it's about their wedding so you should be there.

- Where does she live? - I know where It is.

It sounds important, Dad.

- Okay, let's go. - Dress up and wear the watch!

Cut it out!

How I look doesn't matter in your marriage!

- Let me get changed and escort you. - Hurry.

- Here We are. - Oh, I see.

When someone comes to the door, you say you're Myeongsun's father.

Understood.

You can go home where Yongbeom is waiting.

- Please be nice to her. - Don't worry.

Say sorry you're visiting this late.

Yes...

Who is it?

I... I am Myeongsun's father.

I see, come on in.

Only this small door opens?

Don't be frightened, he's tied and he doesn't bite.

- Have a seat here. - Thanks

You are Myeongsun's father, yes?

Yes, I am Mr. Park.

I am sorry to visit this late.

- No problem, sit over here. - Yes.

I wanted to see you earlier any idea why I want to see you?

I guess it's about their wedding.

Right, you should be proud of wonderful daughter.

Thank you.

People say she's a sweet-tempered nice girl...

- lf anyone calls, I'm not home! - Yes, ma'am.

- Have tea. - I had had enough.

It's a tea bag, go ahead.

You don't?

You don't know how to have tea?

Remove the paper wrapper!

Damn!

What? Is there something wrong?

Yes! You know...

Considering you're just a repairman of fire pits!

I'm convinced that I'm the best...

In my neighborhood few fire pits

haven't been fixed by me!

Oh, what a splendid job you have!

Mr. Park, I wanted to see you because...

I want to tell you to make your daughter

end her relationship with my nephew.

What? Did she do something wrong to him or to you?

Not really, but please understand Jushik is far out of her league.

To begin with, she's not a college graduate.

And I arranged for a girl in Hawaii State University to be his fiancee.

Face facts. An uneducated temptress certainly cannot be part of my family.

He had no parents to warn him, so she must have allured him.

My grandfather was a nobleman at the turn of the century.

Is this What you wanted to see me for?

Certainly.

To make it easy for you,

an uneducated repairman, to understand...

She is trying to bite off more than she can chew.

So, as a father, you should stop her, if you have any sense.

You should not get above your station.

Jushik will never marry your daughter, understood?

End of story, get out of here!

You, dog, bark, bark!

Are you also from a snobbish family line?

Mr. Park, here you are!

You've come through this pouring rain!

Do you want to have some rice liquor?

What's wrong? Have you been quarreling?

You stubborn!

Dad, you are so late!

You're soaked!

Was the meeting okay?

You are so drunk!

Yongbeom, should the tea steep in the bag?

Or should the bag be ripped and the tea stirred into the water?

What do you mean?

I mean the tea bag...

I should tear the paper or just leave it in the cup?

You just leave it there.

- What happened? - What happened?

Why didn't you tell me?

- Dad, what's wrong? - I feel so...

Father, just tell us. What happened?

Myeongsun I will work my fingers to the bone for you.

Go to college.

Blame me for everything I deserve it!

Yongbeom, don't mind us. Go to Thailand.

Do something for your future!

I've been proud of you, all my life...

But now they look down on you!

Because you didn't go to college and your father has no class!

I m sorry for Yongsun too. It's all my fault.

Dad, don't take it that way, calm down.

We're doing fine as we are, aren't we?

Yongbeom, do you know why I am crying?

Forgive me for not affording your college tuition.

Myeongsun, it's heartbreaking butjust forget Jushik.

Don't try to rise above your station!

Dad!

- Where are you going this late? - I won't be long.

Don't mind me. Go to bed.

Sir, where are you headed?

I just seen your wife and now I'm on my way to you.

Get in the car.

- Is this what you are driving? - Yes.

Get in the car, sir.

Sorry, I should've gotten your permission first.

Do you love my daughter?

I love her, with all my heart, so much that...

I'm determined to be a better man.

If you want to be my son in law, you should be the best man.

- Can I treat you to a drink? - A drink?

'Dear Jushik, how hard it must be to be in the army in this hot weather! '

'Your aunt worked out a scheme that hurt me.'

'She belittled me and my family to break our engagement.'

'I feel so resentful and bitter, out of indignation.'

'I want you to meet her and settle this matter

as soon as possible.'

'A lot to talk about, Myeongsun.'

I was stupid to believe her all along.

There's no other way but to see Dad and be upfront with him...

as Yongbeom is busy with his wedding.

- Dad's changed a lot. - Should I see him?

Dad!

How have you been, sir?

- Follow him. - Sir! Sir!

I'm sorry about what my aunt said it's all a lie.

My daughter is not high class!

I'm awfully sorry, just blame me.

Forgive me.

You're okay.

- Now you know What I am, Yes? - Yes and I respect it.

- Take this and come with me. - Yes.

Thank you.

Photo time!

Take off your hat, good.

Look at the camera!

Help yourself, thanks for coming.

Let me pour it for you.

I hope you like the food.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

Help yourself.

Take care of Yongsun.

Congratulations.

- Let me pour for you. - No Thanks, maybe later.

Yongsun, it's your turn next, set a date!

- Myeongsun, there's Someone for you.

Really?

Let me pour for you, sir.

- It's from Jushik. - Thanks.

'I wish I was there for the wedding.

But last night I had an appendectomy.

When you are free, come see me. Jushik '

- Was the operation successful? - Yes.

- I will go tonight. - That's great.

Thanks for everything. You should've eaten something.

- No, Thanks, I have to run. - Good bye.

Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.

Yongbeom the groom will say

a few words of thanks and farewell...

as you know, they will leave soon for Thailand.

Thank you very much.

First I would like to give a few words of heartfelt thanks

to my parents whom I love dearly...

and who have gone through a lot in life to raise us.

As you know my two sisters will marry and scatter...

then my parents will be left by themselves,

unattended and lonely.

Thinking of how empty hearted they would feel,

without any kids around,

My heart almost bursts with grief.

They have had a hard time...

To raise us three with tears and hunger.

So, I am sincerely asking you...

to be with my parents every day while we're gone...

and to have fun with them for us.

I'll buckle down, dig into the job and attain success.

May you enjoy life!

Oh, he's crying.

What a good son!

Help yourself.

My son, don't worry, I know how much you love me.

- I can't contain myself. - Dad!

Hey, today is the best day of your life, don't cry!

It makes me cry too. Let's get inside.

Dad...

Think of Jaecheon and Jushik as your new sons, and count on them.

But dozens of sons'-in-law are less than you alone to me.

When you come back home in 5 years...

you won't recognize me as I will have a lot more wrinkles.

Dad...

Don't cry, son, buck up!

Don't be sad

and wait for us with hope in your heart and a smile on your face.

Who says I'm sad?

Now I feel what it means to be a good father.

When I miss you,

I will come here and shout your name.

Oh, what are we doing?

Your new bride is waiting.

Dad, I will stay with you tonight.

With me?

Oh, no! What about your bride? Let's go inside.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, sir.

Do well, eh?

Take care, Father.

Jushik is very sick, so Myeongsun is nursing him.

Don't worry, I will go see them.

Write me and let me know how things are, okay?

- Don't worry. - I see.

- Jaecheon, take care of my parents. - Don't worry.

And be good to Yongsun.

- Good bye. - Mother, good bye.

Go inside. Let's go.

- Father, over there. - Where?

- You should go up there. - What for?

Hurry.

- Mother, come here. - Yongbeom!

Get inside the plane! Don't look around.

Good bye.

Yongbeom!

Take care.

- Yongbeom, have fun! - Get in the plane!

- Yongbeom! - Good bye.

Yongbeom!

Mother, Let's go.

No more tears, let's go.

Never did I even dream

you would be away from me for this long...

I'll count the days and nights, looking forward to seeing you back here.

Damn it, the planes better be strong!

And you have kids.

When you return,

I expect to see a couple of sons in your arms.
