Kang Koo's Story

♫ Where will you be? ♫

♫ Right by your side. ♫

''One...two..."

"Please help me!"

I see... This is to protect Youngduk, Kang Koo.

This is not someone else's business.

Although, we played soccer in opposing teams,

our Youngduk and Kangkoo is one body in the end.

I'd really like to thank sunbae, friends and athletes for cooperating.

First of all, we need to accurately distinguish between our team and the opponent's team.

They won't be wearing training suits like us, but rather will be in a full black suit.

But out of them, you'll spot a person who's isn't wearing a 'black suit.'

He will not look like a gangster,but rather very handsome looking male.

If you see him, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about!

That person is on our team.

We don't have much time,that's why listen carefully.

Our plan is...

to get divided into 4 groups,and look.

As soon as we find it, a text message will be sent to the team leader.

Then, we'll all meet there.

''Come quickly.''

They are going! GO Yes.

It's him! I can definitely tell that he's in our team.

Hurry up and text... that we found him.

What! you bastards?!

"One...two, one...two..."

"Stand in your place!"

What are you guys?!

"GO HOME YOU-PUNKS!!''

Go, one foot forward!

Geez, you, wretched punks!...

Do Shik, Do you know, why I...

The reason why I like you,

is because you don't decide.

You shouldn''t decide!

When you saw Kyung Tae, did you think of the 'old times'?

Do Shik!

That punk...

his wrist...

alone will not satisfy me.

No. No. No.

Ok, ok. I lost.

Stop!

My uncle took this picture for me.

Isn't my mom really pretty?

Ah-jeh(Uncle),

Ah-jeh, when you see my mom,

does your heart beat rapidly, or something like that?

What about you?Does any girl make your heart beat rapidly?

I... my heart beats rapidly,when I see a big chested woman!

Hey, rascal, you're in trouble.

When I was your age, I didn't even know that a girl's chest looked different than mine.

You're stupid....

I felt as though, we became very closeafter our bath together.

After seeing all of him

my inner suspicion disappeared and I feel comfortable.

I genuinely like Ah-jaha from all perspectives.

I'm okay, so please stop.

I'm really doing okay. Please stop.

Don't do that in the future.

Hyungnim,

I didn't use my fist,because I'm a hoodlum.

But because I'm a human being.

Hyungnim,

is there a lady that's on your mind?

It's the Yang Kuei Fei restaurant owner, right?

Ever since we've been here in Kangkoo

all you did was to help her and her son.

You didn't realize that?

That's why I'm here.

Jeong Soo very often talked about his sick sister.

If something bad happens to his sister,

he habitually said that he'll take care of her son.

I once went fishing with Jeong Soo in Kangkoo.

Back then, we went to a restaurant and had hand pulled noodles,

and Jeong Soo

wouldn't tell me that that was his sister.

He still wouldn't tell me until the end.

I'm not sure on why he did that,even to this day.

But, later...

very much later, he told me that,it was his sister.

Fortunately, Noona doesn't remember me at all.

Noona and the nephew

don't know that Jeong Soo died.

Is she...

the biological sister of Jeong Soo?

She is ill, very ill.

What are you going to do?

Each, first and everyday; you're kicking duds!Kick the ball, correctly!

Hey, Kang Koo,

since, we've seen each other naked,

I'll talk to you man to a man.

Your mom, we have to get her admitted to a bigger hospital.

I'll find out about the hospital, meanwhile you try convincing your mom.

You tell her.

Your mom will not do as I say.

She won't do it because of her pride.

I don't think so...She's a lot more brazen than you think.

She's got the total 'princess syndrome."

You should've came by. How come you didn't stop by?

President,

Instead of selling your land, invest in this business.

What I'm saying is that... we'll be partners.

The temporary contracts with the landowners in this town are about to be terminated.

Because of you, we can't proceed with the business.

Is that why, on the sales purchase agreement,

you didn't get the seal of approval?

Thus, in one condition.

Out of your investment shares, please hand over a stake that's equal to the square footage of Kangkoo's restaurant.

You just have to transfer those shares to Lee Kang Koo.

You know Kang Koo, right?Yang Moon Sook's son.

Have you decided to report to work here every morning?

Yes.

While I was sleeping last night suddenly I couldn't remember the face.

Who's face?

Yours.

Do you know that you have this habit of staring at a person?

You don't know, right?

When someone stares at you openly, you get embarrassed.

That's why you can't remember the person's face.

I can remember your face completely.

This is a Kimchee Jigae (stew) that our Owner Yang has made herself.

Try it.

Eat it slowly.

I have something to say.

Why don't you stop running the restaurant?

I'm thinking of investing a bit here.

The shares of this restaurant will be changed to Kang Koo's name.

From then on, you can sell the restaurant's stock shares for what it's worthand pay me back.

During that time I'll make it so that you and Kang Koo can eat and live.

So close the restaurant now.

What are you talking about?

You're not too smart, right? Then, instead of working,

just do as I say.

Well, you will know better than anyone that running a restaurant with that body is not logical.

If you really like cooking for someone,

just do it for me, like this.

So it looks like you're going to just settle down here and live?

It's just your constitution.

You seem like a Kangkoo person.

I'm usually the God of Adjusting.

Anyhow, I've heard that.. you can only run the 'fishing ship'from November to May?

You're right...Generally, the fishes feed from June to Nov.

Therefore, at that time we'll have harvested Large 'Russian' Crabs or King Crabs.

We pay the rent with stuff like that.

I was wanting to ask you about that anyway.

Do you know any refrigeration plants that refrigerate King Crabs?

Of course I know.

But those aren't here. They're all in Busan.

They all go to Busan.

All of the King Crab's ships originate from Busan.

But they say that the market for that is so enormous.

The Hand Cut Noodles are really refreshing.

Jeong Soo, I heard he had an older sister.

But how could I have known that she ran a Hand Cut Noodle restaurant?

I don't know if she knows how her brother died.

Go on inside Kyung Tae.

She's wasted rotting away in a place like this.

Take whatever you want.

Whether it's a hand or a finger.

But

if you appear before that woman one more time

I will take your head.

I'm telling you for the last time.

You don't make decisions.

Just do as I tell you.

Huh?

Thank you for patronizing Kyungkoo's Restaurant all this time.

Mom.Yes.

Do you not feel thankful to Ahjussi?

Of course I'm thankful.

Then show it.

You're going to be admitted to the hospital that Ahjussi mentioned, he's going to pay the hospital bills,

he's making us a new house...

Later, I'm going to repay it all.

Aiyoo, anyway, this is why they say that you can't be good to women.

Truthfully, Ahjussi is 100 times wasted on you.

Even if I were Ahjussi, I wouldn't look at a woman like you.

And on top of that a widow with a headache of a son.

Widow?!

Are you done talking?!

Mom, later if I grow up and get excited about a widow with a son attached would you like it?!

You're really without manners...come here, uh?!

I don't want to go to English Study Center.

Everyday the English teacher is only mean to me.

Oh!What is it?

What is it?

Isn't that your mother?

It's a good time.

Your mother hit the lotto.

Riding the motorcycle with "the bowl" all day long!Aiyoo.

Like Jung Dae said, it probably was the happiest time of my mother's whole life.

I hoped that that kind of happiness would go for a very very long time.

For a very very long time.

♫ If she will have to wait, ♫

♫ There are no tears to cry. ♫

♫ What have I to do again ♫

♫ to make you love me? ♫

♫ I know I am going to meet you ♫

♫ where somewhere it's safe. ♫

♫ Now, wouldn't there two of us be, ♫

♫ You and me, in love. ♫

♫ Where will you be? ♫

♫ Right by your side. ♫

♫ You, love of my life. ♫

♫ Will you tell me? ♫

♫ Will you be with me? ♫

♫ You are the love of my life. ♫

♫ Though I try to get here, somehow, ♫

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

♫ ♫

Oh, the patient garb suits your face.

You're pretty.

Go on.

Young Choon Ahjumma will come.

What am I going to do for wanting to see you?

They say that that the boat is really dangerous.

No matter how dangerous it is, could it be more harder than being sick?

Don't worry.

It'll all turn out well.

Hyungnim, because of you I even get to board a boat that big. I'm not envious of the Titanic at all, Hyungnim.

- Do you think we're going on vacation? Let's stay focused.- Yes, I understand.

Team Leader, hurry up and come.

Let's go.Yes, I understand.

3 months later.

All right.

Yes.

Come home. Hurry.

I'll put Ahjumma on.

We'll keep Kang Koo with us today.

Kang Koo's mother later when she's discharged,

Jeong Bae's father will bring her there.

The thing is though...

♫ The summer sun looked down on our love long ago ♫

♫ But in my heart I feel the same old afterglow. ♫

♫ A love so beautiful in every way. ♫

♫ A love so beautiful we let it slip away. ♫

♫ We were too young to understand to ever know ♫

Just a minute.

♫ That lovers drift apat and that's the way love goes. ♫

♫ A love so beautiful we let it slip away. ♫

♫ Away. ♫

♫ A love so beautiful, in every way. ♫

♫ A love so beautiful, we let it slip away. ♫

It doesn't hurt?

I took the medicine.

Do you know when I fell head over heels for you?

Those eyes that always stared at me.

Until now a person that stared at me so openly.

woman or man, you were the first.

Oh.

Aren't you going to learn the piano again?

When you get completely better.

I want to see you playing the piano.

Last year around this time,

on a very rainy day...

A friend who was like a brother to me

got stabbed by a knife.

When I was going around and searching for that friend,

the rain was coming down so hard that I couldn't walk.

So, I pondered...

Should I keep going around trying to find that friend

or

should I wait for him to call.

When I was standing there unable to decide,

where I was standing

was in front of some cafe.

From there

the sound of piano music was coming out.

In that moment

I had the thought that

it might be too late to find that friend.

As that thought crossed my mind

suddenly tears came to my eyes,

for a long time

I only stood there.

That friend,

not to move one step,

was he telling me through telepathy?

It felt like he was sending me that kind of thing.

That friend and I,

always had that kind of communication between us.

When the music was done and

when I came to my senses,

there was a voicemail message that had arrived.

That friend had sent it to me.

But,

in that voicemail message,

I could hear that music.

Kyung Tae.

It's going to be hard this time.

But,

my sister is sick.

You know too.

My sister,

only has me to take care of her.

Kyung Tae.

I have

a middle school age nephew.

I have to be a father figure to him.

I...

was in front of that cafe, getting soaked from the rain.

My friend...

was behind that café,

slowly dying.

From then on,

I started carrying around a raincoat in my car.

Is that why..

you started to learn piano?

If I get to meet that friend after I die,

I wanted to tell him this, but...

if he asked me to hum that song,

I felt like I wouldn't be able to remember it.

that's why...

That friend...

You want to see him?

Mhmm

Hmmmm

More than you,

I will meet that friend, first.

Then

I'll relay the message, for sure.

Recently,

I met that friend's family.

But, those people

Did not know that he died.

At times,

it's better not to know (ignorance is bliss).

Life is really unpredictable.

Who knew he'd go like that?

When he was alive, he liked the exhibitionof the human anatomy ("Body Worlds").

He went the same way.

His corpse was in pieces,with his hands and feet chopped off.

To be honest,

That night, Do Shik came by.

That bastard! A pitiful bastard who couldn't talk...

He couldn't say anything, and he just criedin front of me while pounding his chest.

My guess is that Ma Bok Gil

ordered him to chop you up.

But instead of you, he bit his owner.

He was part of your family,

but I don't think he necessarily did thatbecause of your friendship.

Because he couldn't speak,

Ma Bok Gil had no idea what that guy was thinking.

He wanted to live like a decent human being.

Kyung Tae,

I...want to leave this line of work!

To settle(organize) everything,

and maybe run a bus(mass transit) company.

For the last time,

Can you help me tomorrow?

I'm going up to Seoul for a bit.

About a week.

I have to help with Myung Tae Hyungnim's work.

I told Young Chun's Ajuhmma to come by.

Because I didn't want to leave you by yourself.

Sleeping?

I'd like to take you with me,but there's no one to take care of you.

And...you seriously hate the hospital.

Aigoo...Aigoo,what am I going to do?!

Kang Koo's mom.

Try getting up, quickly.

Aigoo...Aigoo,what am I going to do?

Kang Koo, go ahead and eat,the table's been set.

Lover

Hello.

Did you sleep well?

Yeah.

The work has been a bit delayed.

For a few days...

I'll take care of this quickly, and go down and see you.

Slowly.

Finish all your work.

Does it hurt?

No.

Okay. Make sure to take your medication.

I'll call you again.

Mom, are you okay?

Yeah...

Kang Koo,

sleep beside me today.

Mom.

Mom.

Hmm?

What?

Our Kang Koo...

My baby...

Mom.

Do you know why

you can see things that are far away, but...

you can't see those that are close by?

America is closer than the sun, but we can't see it.

Do you know why we can see the sun that is farther away?

I didn't know this,

but it's pretty fascinating.

You see...

Are you sleeping?

All right. Sleep well, Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom, wake up.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom, get up!!!

I have to go to school!

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom, wake up.

Mom.

Ahjeh said

that things that are closest to this world aren't visible.

He said that things that are really near are in your heart, and that's why they're not visible.

For me, you were always in my heart, Mom.

In the deepest realm.

This is what I wanted to tell you that day.

But,

my mom didn't get the chance to hear it.

Yes.

You should eat well, without skipping any meals.

You should be ready to get discharged next week...

Hyungnim!

You think you're a doctor?

Show me your license.

Have you guys checked that he was a doctorbefore letting him treat you?!

- Hyungnim, why are you being like this?- How is this guy a doctor?

Hey, what are you doing, Sir?

Sir?

You saw me wrong.I'm a gangster. Take a look.

I'm a gangster. Can't you tell?

Does wearing a white coat make you a doctor?

Then you should be different from us who wear black suits.

That woman is dead.

If you were going to let her die like this,you shouldn't have amputated her leg!

You!

That woman...

was so heartbroken because of that leg.

Do you know how heartbroken she was?!

What do you know?!

Killing people

and cutting off legs...

How are you different from a thug?

I'm going to cut your leg off, too.

I'm going to kill you.

- Bring her back! Bring her back!- Hyungnim, that's enough!

- Bring her back!- Hyungnim, that's enough!

- Let go of me! Let go! I'm going to kill that bastard!- Hyungnim!

Bring her back! Bring her back!

I'm going to school.

Yang Moon Sook.

You're staring again.

Yang Moon Seok,

are you happy?

Are you happy

that you're dead?

Hey, Kang Koo.

Hey Kangkoo, don't you think that the Busan sea

is a lot nicer than the Kangkoo sea?

It's size is on a different scale.

Should we live here?

Why would you live with me, when my mom's not here?

What is this?

Lee Tae Seok, 680314...(citizen registration number)

It's my real father.

My mom gave me her savings.

So,

you're saying you want to go to your father?

The man she truly loved

was my father,

not you.

So you

should forget about me

and forget my mom as well.

You should go your own way.

By the sea,

you were fishing with people...

Stop it.

I don't really want to hear it.

Are you sure we can catch fish here?

This place is famous for its fishing.

It's here! It's here! -It's here? -It's here!

It's here!

He was fishing with people by the sea.

On a cold winter day,

he was smiling while wearing a yellow raincoat.

He looked like

an angel who came down from heaven.

I thought that if there were a male angel,

it would look like him.

Until he got done with fishing,

I stood there for over an hour and just looked at him.

I never saw a man with such a pretty smile before.

Kang Koo, you were just like him.

At night when I slept, I thought of him.

Even during the day, I only thought of him.

I told you before

that my mom has no sense of shame.

I love you, Kim Kyung Tae.

Make sure to take your medication well. I'll call you again.

Okay.

I love you, Kim Kyung Tae.

Please call Kyung Tae to Seoul. I'll send you this request.

Please call Kyung Tae to Seoul.

I'll send you this request.

I think that they're looking for that young man from Seoul.

Aigoo, what do we do?

Kang Koo, Ahjussi is in danger.

Take all the kids with you and make sure to take pictures of them.

Take pictures of them all without leaving one person out. Understand?

Please make sure to help

that person.

Thank you, Ajusshi.

You came.

Yes.

I...

Because of the Kangkoo area development.

Don't worry.

I'll make sure to let you make a living.

When you first came here I wanted to make you my daughter-in-law.

Since you say that my son isn't in your heart, what can I do?

Are we strangers?All this time, you didn't even charge me rent.

and I'm so grateful that you're letting us just operate the business.

What is all this?

There must be some special customer coming in.

You guys eat fast as soon as the food comes out and check on some things.

Get the lay of the land.

Yes, Hyungnim. I understand.

Ahjumma, I'm going to the hospital.

In case that person comes from that time,

take the clams and shrimp and put all of it in...

that person really like that.

Lee Kang Koo!

Kang Koo. Kang Koo, hurry and wake up.

It's 10 o'clock right now!

- It's the first day of school!- Let me go.

Who do you take after that you like to sleep in so much?

Kang Koo, I've been curious about this for a while.

Whose shoes are these?

Oh, my Mom said that in case of robbers she had put a pair of men's shoes there.

We no longer need them.

Throw them out.

Kang Koo,

What are you going to use as your graduation picture?

Are you going to hand in that picture you took with your mother last year?

I'm only going to give them my mother's picture.

Coach said to submit the picture that showed best who we were.

For me that's my mother.

This is Kim Kyung Tae's house, right?

Yes.

Yang Moon Sook asked us to deliver this last December on today's date.

It's written here that it's a birthday present.

Yes.

Kang Koo!

Kyung Tae.

What are you doing?

Let's take a picture.

1, 2, 3.

Ahjussi was able to play that piece until the end for the first time.

He hadn't practiced it even once,

but it became so that he could do that.

Could it be that for Ahjussi that he thinks that he hasn't been parted from Mom and Uncle Jeong Soo?

Could that be why he was able to play it so well?

♫ But in my heart I feel the same afterglow. ♫

But there is one thing that Ahjussi doesn't know.

How long Mom was having a one-sided love for him.

Since I didn't know either.

Still my mother was happy.

With that thought I was happy too.

- We ended up catching some fish, huh? - Yeah.

♫ We were too young to understand, To ever know, ♫

♫ That lovers drift apart and that's the way love goes. ♫

♫ A love so beautiful. ♫

♫ A love so sweet. ♫

♫ A love so beautiful. ♫

♫ A love for you and me. ♫

♫ And when I think of you, ♫

♫ I fall in love again. ♫

♫ A love so beautiful ♫
