[Answer Me 1988]

[January 2016]

Who asked to date first?

- Well, it was...
- Just natural.

It happened slowly without either
of us realizing it.

Do we really have to tell you that?

Yes, that's how it is.
Even if you kiss and hold hands

it's just considered a fling
until you state that you're a couple.

- Even with kissing?
- Yes, apparently.

- I heard it from the kids?
- What the heck.

- And you say things like that?
- I heard some kids say it.

Our first kiss?

Should we say it at the same time
on three?

Stop watching so much TV.

That's how people reveal things.

Should we answer now?

I'll count one, two, three,
so at the same time, okay?

I'm doing it. One, two, three.

- 1994.
- 1989!

Oh, 1994... it was 1994.
Right?

It was 1994 in Beijing, right?

I need to use the restroom for a second.

Just a minute.

[Fall,1994 - Seoul Dongbong-gu,
Ssangmundong]

Buy some tofu.

Tofu!

I thought you'd have less work now,
but it's just the same.

Get someone you trust to do it.

Hey, I'm the oldest director
at our bank.

Above me, there's the Vice Chief,
Deputy Chief, and Director.

There are so many.

If a high school-educated guy like me
doesn't work hard...

who would keep an old manager around?

So, I'm going to take care
of my own work. Don't worry.

And about bringing up the voluntary
retirement...

I only brought it up because I had
so much work.

Don't concern yourself with that,
all right?

Oh, wow! It tastes just right.

My wife makes the best fermented
soybean stew in the world.

You're the champion...

You should go back to bed.
It's still early in the morning.

Your flight is in the evening?

So, you're going to Japan today
and going to China a day after?

I had no idea that there were so many
baduk matches.

- There are a lot at the end of the year.
- Oh.

Why don't you leave later
and rest here for a bit?

Oh, we're scheduled
for Beijing next week.

I guess I'll get to meet
our senior's boyfriend.

Isn't that baduk
competition in Beijing?
subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

- Yes.
- Oh...

I hear you are friends with
the famous Choi Taek 9-dan.

- Why aren't you dating each other?
- What?

Our senior told me
you two are super close.

So, why don't you date him?

We're just friends,
since we were little kids.

I've known him for almost 20 years.

Wow, then you really must be close.

So, why aren't you dating him?

What?

There's no such thing as friendship
between a man and a woman.

Friends? What a joke.

Salaryman wants to go home from work.

Why? Because he's tired!

Therefore, the salaryman cannot
procrastinate at work.

Fights fatigue and gives you nutrients,
Hal Won!

Wow, you are amazing.

Yeah, they're right.
My husband is very tired.

"Salad" man is very tired.

- Salaryman.
- It's the same thing.

These days I think that Dong Geun
is so sexy.

He's 10 years younger than you.
How is he your senior?

He would jump up in his sleep if he
heard that.

Oh really.

Aren't all good-looking guys seniors?

So, you call your husband that?

Well, he is good-looking.

Sun Young, there's still one thing that
I don't understand.

What is it?

How could a brutal face that's like his
produce a son like Taek?

- What?
- Really, it doesn't make sense.

How could he have a son like Taek?

What? You don't know what
you're saying.

You've never seen Taek's dad when
he was young, have you?

He looked just like Taek.

If you compare Taek's face now with
Taek's dad's face when he was young

you can't tell who is who.
They look exactly alike.

- Sun Young?
- Yes.

Your insanity is boundless.

Has the effect of the rose-tinted glasses
not worn off yet?

Do you think we don't know what he
looked like when he was young?

He was young when he moved here.
He looked the same.

Is that right?

You two are great together.

I wondered why you didn't get together
a long time ago.

Wow, Dong Ryong's mom has some jokes!

Mrs. Cho, you felt stuffy now that
you just sit at home, right?

I'm sure it was suffocating.
You worked all your life.

How stifling it must be to watch your
grandchildren at home.

No... I'm all right.

Oh dear, the kids must be awake.
I should get going.

- Thank you for the sweet potatoes.
- Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye now.

Wow, she's quite something.

She was so good at working
and she's a good housewife too.

That's true.

By the way...

[Third Training Air Force Squadron]

[Korean Air Force Academy]

Hey, Choi Taek!

What is this? You're crazy.

What brings you all the way here,
you crazy punk?

I came to see you.
Wow, you look so cool.

Have you made your decision?

You can tell me. It's okay.

I have some conditions... three of them.

What kind of conditions?

If you're okay with these conditions,
we can start dating again.

Gosh...

You don't have to if you don't want to.

Okay, tell me.

First...

I'm dropping honorifics.

If we start dating again,
I'm dropping honorifics.

I won't call you "Ma'am"
and I won't use honorifics.

Okay, next.

Second...

What is number one in your life?

- Me.
- Now, me.

I'm not being a child
and asking you to only look at me.

I want to be an important part of
your life.

Not something that get tossed aside
when things are hard.

I would like to be one of the most
important things in your life.

I was just so hurt.

All right and the last one?
What's the last condition?

As for the last condition...

Bo Ra, I'm just a regular guy.

When I date now,
I'm going to think about our next step.

I'm thinking ahead to that.

If you're scared of that,
then don't even start this.

Give me time to think about it.

Sir!

Hey, the kimchi here is amazing.

What brings you all the way here
to my base?

You're busy with matches.

Jung Hwan.

I have something to tell you.

You know long time ago?

You asked me if I opened your wallet?

Honestly, I...

Gosh, you dummy.
You're still talking about that?

Stop creating such a pain for everyone
and just go after Duk Seon.

You idiot. You're so frustrating.

I didn't come to talk about that.
Who says I came because of that?

Oh really?

Whatever then.

Let's just eat.

Just eat your rice.

The food is here is really good.
It really is.

It's good.

I think I have menopause. I have no news
of anything for several months.

Oh, we are at that age now, aren't we?

Oh dear, you know it's no joke.

- It can be very difficult.
- What do you mean?

It was so annoying having that for
over 30 years.

Now, I don't have to think of it.
It's good.

I'm going to face it, head on.

Is there a good one here?
I think I like this one.

So, you need to be careful from now on.

I'll get a fever all of a sudden.

I could just leave the house.

My whole body will be aching and in pain.

Many people get depressed too.

I'll make the meals,
but I won't do the dishes.

I'll do the cleaning,
but not the laundry.

- Don't worry. I'll do it all.
- I'll do it all, Mom.

- Yeah, so you should call her often.
- Okay.

I guess our mom is already that age.

Okay, Jung Bong. I'll call often.

But isn't there something
we could do for her?

This when a daughter would be good.
It's not like I can say anything.

Can I just overlook it?

Who is our Mom?
She is the great Ra Mi Ran.

She is getting through it.

Have you eaten, by the way?
You're not lonely?

Oh, Taek visited me today and
we ate together.

What? All the way to Sacheon?
Is something going on?

No, what could be going on?
He just came to visit a friend.

Jung Bong, I'm going to go exercise.

This late at night?
Your nights must feel very long.

Ah, what are you saying?

You know it's Mom's birthday next month.
You can come, can't you?

Yes, of course.

I checked the calendar and it's on
the weekend, so I have time.

Okay, sleep well my little brother.
Good night.

Press one to page, two for voice mail,
and...

Yes, hello. You
weren't sleeping?

I finally spoke to the girls.
It's been six years.

Congratulations.

I'm meeting them tomorrow
at the spicy rice cake shop.

Duk Seon has time too.

We're meeting at Brazil Spicy Rice Cakes.

They probably got so pretty.
What if I can't recognize them?

Duk Seon and Ja Hyun haven't changed.
I saw them recently.

No, I heard Duk Seon got prettier since
becoming a flight attendant.

- Who said that?
- Ja Hyun.

Those two just console one another
by saying things like that.

I'm worried that those two might now
recognize you, Man Ok.

You should wear a name
tag on your chest.

When can I see you again? I can
see you next week, can't I?

I will buy you some tasty rib-eye.

Rather than rib-eye,
I like pork belly. Buy me that!

Deal! If Man Ok wants it,
forget about pork belly.

I'll slice off the belly meat on my body
and cook it on a hot fire.

Ah, seriously?

I think I went too far with my joke.

You should go to bed now.
See you in my dream.

See you in your dream.

[Brazil Spicy Rice Cakes]

Hey, this place is completely different.

Is this the same Brazil Spicy Rice Cakes
that we used to eat at?

Hey, do you think this place changed
as much as you?

Man Ok, did you get plastic surgery
in the US?

Why are you so pretty now?

I took my braces off. You
got pretty too, you wench.

I guess it really is Man Ok.
She still talks so roughly.

Hey, how could you not have called
even once? You awful girl.

You horrible girl. I guess
we meant nothing to you.

Were we the only ones who considered
us close friends?

How could you not call for six years,
you awful girl?

I was afraid I'd miss you guys
if I called you.

I thought I'd want to come back to Korea
if I heard your voices.

Even looking at our photos made me
tear up. So, how could I call?

That's why I couldn't call, you wenches.

Here is the blood sausage,
spicy rice cakes.

I put lots of innards in it for you.

Hey... it'll get cold.

Man Ok, you're so pretty.
I'm going to get braces too.

- Missus, take these cabbages.
- Oh.

What are these cabbages for?

Dong Ryong went to the market
this morning and got some cabbages.

Wow, these are really great.

Mi Ran, these would be so good
if you prepared them.

I'll make it. I'm really good at it.

That's amazing.
This is a good method too.

I should have done this too.

Why is Dong Ryong so busy?

Dae Ryong opened a second location
nearby.

Wow, the sales must be good.

Dong Ryong is good with people
so his business is doing well.

Dong Ryong is running
the second location by himself.

But he spoke to the reception hall owner
and Dong Ryong got that contract too.

What good is it to send kids
to Seoul University?

Wait and see. Dong Ryong
will be better off than anyone.

Ah, sorry to interrupt.

Yes?

If it's not too much bother,
could you lend me some sesame oil?

Of course.

Jung Bong, get some sesame oil.

Yes, Mom.

You didn't go into work today?
It's not vacation time yet.

I decided to take two weeks off work.

Why is that? Is something going on?

No, that's not it. I just wanted to rest.

I see. That's a good thing.
You should take it easy in life.

Yes, yes.

- Here you go, Teacher. Use it liberally.
- Okay.

We heard that Dong Ryong is running
a second location.

And that he's even catering
for wedding reception halls.

Oh my, word travels fast.

Dong Ryong managed to do something big.

You should come by
during the day for galbi.

I will give you free coupons.

I thought young couples
liked buffets these days.

I thought they wouldn't like galbi.
Would that be okay?

My Dong Ryong came up with
a brilliant idea.

He's always been watching those
American movies all the time.

And he came up with an idea.

In the U.S. they wear what's called
a morning dress or evening dress.

And go around greeting
their wedding guests.

- We don't really know.
- Right.

So he has a nice, shiny dress
at the restaurant.

Once the in-law gifting is over,
he dresses the bride in that

take them over to where all the guests
are eating and let them greet them.

The wedding cake will be three tiers.
And you turn on music too.

Young couples like that so much.

That sure is a smart idea.
Dong Ryong is amazing.

Now that things worked out this way,
I regret harassing him about his studies.

They all figure it out on their own.

Not everyone is like that.

It's because Dong Ryong is kind
and smart.

Why do you need sesame oil anyways?
Is no one home?

No, everyone is home now.

I'm not doing anything,
so I should do these chores.

I'll be going now then.
Thank you for this.

Bye now.

Our teacher is always so bright.

We've lived here in this neighborhood
with him for 20 years.

And I've never seen him with a frown.

I've never seen him with a scowl on
his face.

Look who's talking.

What? I'm having a hard time lately.

- Gosh, you're lying.
- No, really.

I'm home.

I'm home.

Why are you home, Bo Ra?

- It's the weekend.
- Huh?

Since when did you come home on
the weekends?

Be quiet!

I'm home.

- Hey, I'm getting washed up.
- Okay.

Pretty girl is home.

- No one like that lives here.
- Hey!

You have one message.

It's me. Come outside.

You know where, right?

Where is Duk Seon?

I don't know.

- What about Bo Ra?
- Don't know.

Mom, there's something I've been
suspicious about for a while.

What's that?

- You know Bo Ra?
- What about Bo Ra?

I think she's seeing someone.

Really? Why? What makes you think that?

Gosh, that sneaky girl.

She wouldn't go on marriage setups
and had no interest in guys.

I was actually really worried about her.

- Who is it? Who do you think it is?
- He's in this neighborhood.

She comes home all the time.

And she's very suspicious.
I even smelled perfume on her.

You're getting a feeling, right?

Who could it be?

Since Jung Pal is in Sacheon,
I'm ruling him out.

Why? I like Jung Hwan.
I like younger guys too.

- Then, Jung Bong?
- What? Jung Bong?

- Taek?
- Taek!

Hey, I like Taek the best.

- Me too, me too.
- Right, right?

- But, Taek is scared of Bo Ra.
- Right?

Then Taek is out too.

Then Dong Ryong... no, it can't be him.

Doesn't he have a girlfriend?

- Right? A tall and young one.
- Yeah.

Then there's just one person left.

I think this guy is the most likely.

It can't be Sun Woo.

It can be anyone else,
but not Sun Woo.

You know why, don't you?

Why don't you hurry up?

Hey, what would you have done if I
said no to you kissing me right away?

Then you shouldn't have
worn that necklace.

When did you see the necklace?

You had two buttons undone
just so I could see.

How could I not see?

Sun Woo.

Sung Sun Woo.

Thank you.

I love you.

Wow... I'm touched.

Hey, Taek!

I'm dating Bo Ra again.

Hey, it's been six years.
I'm dating her again after six years!

Is this real or is it a dream?

You know how hard it's been for me
for the past six years, right?

Yeah you know, you punk!

I even stole your sleeping pills.
It got so bad.

But why is your reaction like this, huh?
What's wrong?

You're not talking about...
my Sung Bo Ra, are you?

What is that crazy punk saying?

Hey, it wasn't a one-sided crush?
You guys actually dated?

He said they dated. They are dating.

Song Sun Woo, you crazy jerk.
Get a hold of yourself!

Hey, one-sided love...

You had a one-sided crush on Bo Ra
this entire time?

Hello, Jung Pal?

Where are you, Jung Pal?

Sun Woo and Bo Ra...
Sun Woo and Bo Ra are dating.

What?

Sun Woo, get over here. Get over here.

So, you guys dated each other.
Wait, no...

You two dated each other.

No, you two are currently dating.

Hey, hey wait. Duk Seon, hold on.

I'll explain everything slowly now.
Just sit down. Sit down.

- I suddenly have a headache.
- What headache?

Wow! How could you fool us
for six years like that? Wow...

I thought Sun Woo just liked her on
his own.

Bo Ra likes him back too?

That's not it. He liked her by himself.

- Is Bo Ra crazy?
- Hold up now.

Hey... how come I'm the only one
who doesn't know this?

How could you do this to me?

Forget it! Just hang up.

Song Sun Woo, I'm the only one who
didn't know.

Am I not even a friend? Huh?

What nonsense is he saying?

I need any of this. Forget it.
You're not my friend.

Dong Ryong, I didn't know either.

Don't lie to me.

Does it make sense that Sun Woo said
that in here if you didn't know?

I'm not that stupid.

Why do people lose baduk to you?

Don't laugh. I can see you laughing.

Me? When?

Now, now!

Oh, Sung Bo Ra.
So you're dating Sun Woo, are you?

Hey, wait.

Just talk to me about it.
Don't bother Bo Ra.

- Bo Ra?
- Bo Ra!

- What in the world?
- Come on.

- Ouch, ouch. Hey!
- Bo Ra?

Taek, where are you going?

Hey, "Bo Ra" is a bit much.

- Hey!
- That's just not right.

You must be insane!

[Beijing, China]

[Chunlan Finals, Round 3, D-1]

Since we have a day off tomorrow,
should we go watch?

A lot of reporters are here.

My boyfriend said we could come.

I want to go too.
I've never seen a baduk match.

I'm going to get Choi Taek 9-dan's
autograph.

I doubt that you can.
He doesn't meet with anyone.

But the finals are over tomorrow.

Can't I see him if he wins?

He goes right to sleep if he wins.
He's like a corpse.

Right, Duk Seon?

Choi Taek 9-Dan...

- Oh, honey.
- Oh, Yoo Ram!

- Duk Seon.
- Hello.

- Where's Taek?
- He's in his room.

The third round is very important,
so he's sensitive today and tomorrow.

But he's in good condition these days,
so he's better than before.

Has he eaten something?

It's rice porridge.
I just thought I'd make it.

You brought this from Korea.

China is not that far.

Oh my. You really are something.

People without friends would be
too sad to live.

But why don't you give it to him
yourself?

He'd like it much better than getting
it from me.

You said tomorrow is important.

What if he gets excited from seeing me
and messes up?

Why don't you just give it to him?

You're right. That could happen.

He really likes you.

He'll become restless if he sees you
and we can't have that.

I'll get this to him.

What? I was only joking.

Oh yeah? I was being serious.

There has been a steep increase
in voluntary retirements at banks.

In order to adjust to the drastic
changes in the financial market scene

caused by the open financial markets
and the introduction of ATMs

the banks have undertaken
the strategy to trim their workforce.

Those who retire voluntarily will receive
more than double their pension.

Until their retirement, they will receive
70 to 100 percent

of a special retirement pension on top
of that, as well.

Wow, two times the pension?

Then isn't it worth it?

If one wants to make a lot of money,
that's an opportunity too.

What kind of opportunity is that?

They just turned 50 years old.

Should they just sit around at home
at that young age?

I'd stick to my work even if they
offered me a lot of money.

Honey, Dong Il is hanging
in there, right?

Even though he always talks about
quitting.

Who knows what's going on in his head.

Everything might be crumbled inside
and he might be dead inside.

Voluntary retirement can be by choice.

But many banks are requiring their
employees to take this retirement.

This includes Hanil Bank, Choheung,
Commercial, and Seoul Trust banks.

Those who have not moved up the ranks
or those too high up in the ranks

have been included in this retirement.

Gosh, this man.

What if he just leaves his bank?

[Chunlan, Final Round Three]

- Sir.
- Yes, Duk Seon.

Did you come to see Taek?

Why is so quiet? Hasn't it started yet?

Of course it started.
They're all in the monitor room.

The monitor room?

Now, you can watch directly
on the monitors.

You don't have to wait in the hallway.

I think I'll go wait in my room.
I'm too nervous to watch.

Please call me when the match is over.

I'm in room 503. Thank you.

Okay, go to your room.
I'll call you as soon as it's done.

The game looks good for Taek right
from the beginning.

I think it'll end early.

Seeing as how he's attacking,
I think he's figured it out already.

Still, you don't know until the very end
with baduk.

Oh my, Duk Seon!

You know all about baduk now.

- Duk Seon, I'm meeting my boyfriend.
- Okay.

Hello, is it over? Did Taek come out?
Did he win?

It's me, Taek.

Ah... oh, Taek.

You worked hard.
Are you all right?

Yeah, I am.

I'm done and I'm in my room now.

- Does your head hurt?
- Yeah, a little bit.

I took some medicine.

You should have eaten first.

Go to bed.
Why did you bother calling first?

I'm hungry though.

I'm hungry.
Duk Seon, let's go eat together.

- I'll see you in the lobby.
- Okay.

Let's go.

Oh, you came out.

Duk Seon.

We're going for dinner now too.
Come with us.

- Hurry, come on.
- Let's go.

Taek, have some crab meat.

Cheers to Master Choi's consecutive wins.

- Cheers.
- Cheers!

This place is famous in Beijing.
Enjoy your food here.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Is it good?

Yeah, is yours good?

You're very good at drinking.

I'm not that good at drinking.

Why did you two drink so much?

- Hey!
- Senior is passed out.

- Pull yourself together.
- Yes.

- Take her up.
- Senior.

Come on.

Let's go. Get up now.

Go sleep in the room.

- Duk Seon, give me your room key.
- Okay.

Here.

Get back carefully.

Get it together, would you?

Get back to your room then.

Excuse me. Is anyone here?

You didn't go to your room?

The door is locked.
I think Senior is sleeping.

You should get going.
Go in and get some sleep.

I'll get a key when an employee
comes back.

Sleep in my room.

You can sleep in my room.

Wow!

You can sleep in the room.

I can just sleep here.

It's okay. I'll sleep on the sofa.
You should sleep in the room.

You didn't even sleep properly.

How can I sleep properly when you're on
the sofa?

The room and sofa are the same to me
once I take my pills anyways.

You take so much these days?
subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

I've built up resistance.

If you take too many,
you can end up sleepwalking at night.

What would you do if that happens?

Hey, it's not that bad yet.

You never know.

Make sure you lock your doors tonight.

I don't know what I'll do once
I take my pills.

Why? Are you going to kiss me again?

So...

That wasn't a dream?

Why did you lie?

I was scared.

We're friends.

What if it got awkward?

If things got awkward with you...

I just couldn't imagine it.

What about now?

It would be awkward now too.

But...

Hey... how could you say 1989?

But it was 1989.

I was a senior then.

- I was in high school.
- Right, you were a senior.

I can't keep track of those things
because I didn't go to school.

So what if you were a senior?

You're a public figure.

I'm sure people would love it if they
knew you had a first kiss in high school.

People think you're Buddha.

Should we ask them to delete this?

How can you do that?
That makes you look worse.

Let's ask them to re-shoot that part,
okay?

I'll talk to them.

- Okay, okay.
- Let's go.

Hey, stop it with the sleeping pills.

Okay. I'll take less from now on.

- Duk Seon, I'm going to sleep now.
- All right.

You should get going. Bye.

Hi.

Hello... hi.

Good morning.

What are you doing here?

When did you leave last night?

I left right after you said
you needed to sleep. Why?

What is it? Did you have a dream?

Yeah.

That's a relief.

What is it? Was I in your dream?
What kind of dream was it?

No, it was just nonsense.

You don't need to be concerned.

- Oh, what about Dong Ryong?
- Him? I envy him the most.

He's probably at the hospital playing
and doing nothing.

Hey, wake up, would you?

You're so out of shape.

I'm going now.

- We could have beef.
- I like places like this.

And pork belly is the best,
frozen pork belly, that is.

How could it be that you and I have
the same taste in food too?

Then can I order the food?

Over here.

You want it as thin as possible?

Yes, that's what makes frozen pork belly
taste the best.

It will curl up though.

I can unroll it then.

That's another good part of
frozen pork belly.

Okay.

This is really thin.

- It's like...
- It's like sliced pork belly, right?

It's my favorite style.

I think you have a very specific
philosophy when it comes to food.

Why don't you stop studying law
and start looking into this?

Look into this?

Do you think I'd have a chance?

- Still, law is cooler.
- How is that true?

It's not as good.

And what's wrong with food?

Food is the most important thing in life.

And this something Duk Seon told me.

She says the ramen you make
is the best in the world.

Do what you like to do.

Whatever it is that you think about
all night long.

I studied fashion even though
I didn't want to because of my dad.

I'd like it if you did something that
you want to.

One moment.

Blood sausage, spicy rice cakes,
and tempura.

They still sell bread fries?

All right, Dad. I'll buy it later.

How much is this?

Gosh now. Just make a decision and
I'll tell you the price.

- I need to know the price.
- Make your decision first.

I think 10 will be enough, right?

- Yes. How much?
- My store has everything so...

Don't do that now.

My precious daughter can't be doing this.
Go over there.

What's with you?

You brought the food?

Yeah, that tent is still around.

Were you on a date?

- No.
- Come on now.

You're in a dress and all.

Dad, can I date now?

Of course, you're not in high school.
I need to get you married.

I'm going to get you married off
and then I'll stop working too.

It's about time.

I'll spend my life going on cruises with
your mom.

What? My dad loves money.

Could you do that?

You opened a third location last month.

Your mom said that the location
of the store is amazing.

That one is going to do so well.

You said you're giving it all up
and going on cruises.

We have a customer.

- Hello there. You interested in that?
- Yes.

Don't leave. Hang out with your dad.

Okay, don't worry.

What do you need to see?

- Is this silk?
- Yes.

Oh my! You scared me.

Why are you sitting here like this?

Bo Ra's dad. Why are just sitting here?

Why? Is something wrong?

Il Hwa.

Today...

I was forced to voluntarily retire.

I am sorry.

No.

Why should you be sorry?

No, honey.

There is nothing you should be sorry for.

Why aren't you sleeping
and what are you doing?

Don't turn on the light.

I can't sleep.

Honey, are you all right?

I'm not okay.

I'm not okay.

Oh dear.

[Episode 19 - You Did Your Very Best]

What?

Really?

Dad?

Your dad no longer needs to go into work.
He's done with the bank.

He will have the retirement next week
and it will really be over.

Voluntary retirement? Did
you apply for it? Why?

If you apply for it now, you get
two and half times your pension.

So, I did it.

Do you know how much we're getting?
We're getting more than 200 million won.

- That much?
- Really?

When else would we get
that kind of money?

He would be retiring in three or four
years anyways.

I heard that many people were retiring
at the banks.

I didn't think you would, Dad.

I just decided to jump on the chance.
I'm getting a free 100 million won.

Still, you worked there a long time
so you must feel sad.

- I'll come home often.
- Why would I be sad?

Do you know what your dad's wish is?

It's to sleep really late until
the sun comes up for once.

Dad, you should go on trips with Mom
and exercise too.

Last year was hard for Mom too.

You should hold hands and eat lots
of yummy food, okay?

I will go around with him,
but I don't know about holding hands.

It's enough if you don't fight.

Bo Ra's mom!

Oh? What brings you by?
We're home right now.

Bo Ra's mom, I need just three minutes.

Honey, I'll be a moment!

It's a strange sight to see you here
during the day.

Yes, I'm still finding it strange too.

It's been five years you've been married
and you can't get a decent meal yet?

What's with the black bean noodles?

Jung Hwan's family was ordering,
so I got one too.

- Let's eat together.
- Sure, it looks new.

Oh? Are you delivering black bean
noodles again?

My wife kicked me out.

She says she doesn't even want to
see my face.

She told me to get lost.

Put that here.
It's nice to eat together.

Yeah, sit down.

You know... when it's time for a
woman's menopause

they hate the entire world
and everyone's their enemy.

And the person the hate the most
is their husband.

I really suffered last year because of
my wife.

I didn't know my wife had that side
to her, really.

If it wasn't for true love,
she probably wanted to hit me.

It was really bad.

Why did that make me mad?

All he did was put ice cream
on the table.

You could get mad.

I get annoyed a lot at Taek's dad too.

A fire rose up from inside of me.

And I had tears in my eyes.

Goodness.

This is not normal.

Jung Bong's dad was passing by
and got the brunt end of it.

Why are you getting upset again?

It's okay.

Missus, you're just 52 years old.

You don't even have a white hair.
You're still young.

You're still young... still young.

I don't have white hair,
yet I'm like this.

Gosh...

You got through it well. You did.
You're amazing, Il Hwa.

I don't know about amazing.

I still pour cold water on my head
before I go to sleep.

I do wake up two times
and toss around in my sleep.

Well, you know...

Still, you have daughters so you get
through it.

Our poor Mi Ran doesn't have
any daughters.

You need daughters at times like these.

I should have one now.

Ah, I can't. Darn it.

Nothing is working out for me at all.

I see that you're making jokes now.
You must be okay now.

I go back and forth.

I did envy you a bit last year.

Did you?

I guess my daughters are good
at taking care of the little things.

I wouldn't say it's that.

It's because they are your daughters,
so they know a mom's heart.

Sons will never know a mother's heart.

And Duk Seon is especially good.

Lately, I just want to make her my
daughter-in-law.

[Last Year, 1993]

Mom, let's head out. Get up, okay?

Get dressed, get dressed.

- Let's go.
- Where?

- Let's go.
- I'm tired.

No, let's go.

Hurry up.

There's a place next to Ssangmun Station
that makes really good fried pancakes.

- It's supposed to really good.
- Okay.

Mom, aren't you cold?

There. Let's go.

Let's go.

What the heck...
I ought to be re-born.

I need to be born as a mother.
I'm so envious.

It's pretty.

Can you erase it?

How can I go out like this?

Why not?

Let's put it on this side too.

It's expensive medicine.
Make sure to take it.

Pillar of the house,
your second daughter.

Our nation's Choi Taek 9-dan was champion
in China at the Chunlan baduk match.

Taek won again?

He must be crazy. He's not human.

Hello? Oh, Taek!

Congratulations.

You're in Korea? When did you come back?

Oh, hold on.

Duk Seon.

Yeah?

Okay.

I have to see Taek for a bit.

- You should finish eating.
- Taek.

Isn't something a little strange?

Is Duk Seon maybe...

Just eat your rice.

Are you still that nosy?

- When did you get back?
- Now.

- Aren't you tired?
- I'm okay.

- Aren't you cold?
- I'm all right.

Ah, this is warm.

Tomorrow is Dad's retirement.

I'm already about
to get tears in my eyes.

Can't I go too?

Forget it, don't come.
If you come, it will get noisy.

And only family is supposed to come.

All right.

But, can't I just stop by for a bit?

No, if you come,
you'll be the main attraction.

Tomorrow, my dad has to be the star.

Okay.

Then I'll just stay in the back and...
Ah!

- Hey!
- You better listen, okay?

Yes.

This was the suit
Bo Ra bought you

with her first pay from the
judicial training center.

Gosh, what were you saving it for?

You never wore it.
I didn't think it would be for this.

That's why they say things
turn to crap if you save it.

I think it's a correct saying.

Why are you going to cry now?

I got lots of money and left my job.

It's fine, so stop crying.

What do you mean it's fine?
You always say that.

It's okay.

Gosh, you look so good.
Let me see.

Oh my.

Oh my.

You guys sure know how to surprise
a person.

- Yeah, thank you so much Jin Joo.
- You worked so hard all this time.

You worked hard.

You didn't have to get me this.

Ah, I almost missed you.

I told Jung Bong to keep the front gate
closed.

For crying out loud.

It's not like I'm the president of Korea.
Why make such a fuss?

It's going to be done in an hour
and I'll be back.

Then be back quickly.

I'll have several things warmed up
and ready for you here.

Manager Sung, you worked very hard
all those years.

Gosh, man.

We're all going to switch banks now.

Bo Ra's dad is no longer at Hanil Bank,
so why should we go there?

Right?

I was going to switch my account too.

That darn, crappy Hanil Bank.

To hell with Hanil Bank.

Duk Seon will be waiting.
You should get going.

You've never been late ever,
so you can't be late for your retirement.

So I'm going to be unemployed now.

Please take good care of this unemployed
man in this neighborhood.

Dad, we're going to be late. Hurry!

Okay, I'll be going.

I'll be going. Thank you.

- Bye now.
- Thank you.

Hello? Yeah, Bo Ra.

Yeah, are you at the hospital?

Yeah, is something wrong?

Isn't your dad's retirement today?
Did it go well?

It did end okay.

I just don't feel good.

You should comfort your dad.

He's probably more depressed than
anyone.

It's not like I expected anything great.

But it was just so simple and short.

About 30 people retired together.

They didn't even give him a plaque.
They just gave him some flowers.

He worked there for 30 years
and they only gave him flowers?

I was about to protest like my old self.

Are you home? Let's meet later.

I'll go even if it's late.

Yeah, I'm home. I'm going
to stay home for a bit.

Dad went for soju with my mom.
The two have become closer lately.

That's good.

What about Duk Seon?

I don't know.

She was going on about it for a while,
but I don't see her.

Oh, you startled me!

I just can't stand by like this.

No Eul's coming too.
Just do as I say.

Sun Woo, I'll call you back later.

Bo Ra, are you really a Seoul University
graduate? This is the best you can do?

Hey, do you think I'm a Korean
language major.

Give it to me. I'll do it.

- Do it fast. I have to give it to them.
- All right.

You're leaving now?

Yeah, but don't wait for me.
I'll probably arrive late at night.

Okay, you have to drive carefully.

Okay, how is Mom doing?

- I'm not sure.
- What?

She seems okay at times
and then not okay too.

This is why a household needs daughter.

Wait. The second "Daughter"
will be there soon.

Are you home, son?

Yes.

Are you okay, Mom?

Yes, I'm okay.

I'm okay. I'm going to sleep.

See you later, son.

Look who it is. It's Soldier Kim.
Sir.

Look at the state you're in.

If you came into the army under me,
you would be dead.

Am I crazy? Why would I go under you?

When did you get back anyways?

Late last night.

Let's have a drink later.
Taek is finishing up early later.

Today is my mom's birthday.
We're going out to eat.

Oh, that's why you're up here.

Have you made a reservation?

I was going to make one with my brother.
Do you know a good place?

I don't know. I'll try to think of one.

Is it going well with Bo Ra?

You say you're dating and you don't
even know a nice restaurant?

You're younger than me.
How come you don't know a restaurant?

I've been living in Sacheon.

Lately, I've been... a housewife.

Yes?

Dong Ryong? What's up?

Hey, where are you right now?

What are you saying?

One of the wedding reception guests
canceled on me.

We prepared galbi for 100 people.

The bride ran off this morning with
her first love.

What?

I already got the payment,
so the money is fine.

The galbi would go to waste.

Let's have a neighborhood party.

Invite anyone you see from now on.

Hey, do you have cake there too?

Are you kidding me?
I have a three-tiered one.

It's your mom's birthday, isn't it?
You got lucky today, punk.

I'll surprise you and turn this wedding
cake into a birthday cake.

Wait, don't change it.
What time should I be there?

It's the last time slot,
so about 7:00 p.m.

You can just leave now if you want.
All the customers from before have left.

Anyways, invite everyone from the
neighborhood. I'm treating today.

Thanks Dong Ryong.

Jung Bong, I have a good idea.

What?

Hey, how many people are coming?

I think it will be about 20 people.

Duk Seon will be here for sure and
Jung Pal will be coming too.

It will be a long time since I've seen
all the neighborhood people.

Oh yeah, Dong Ryong. Mom is coming too.

Really?

She's done now?

She's coming straight here.

This is all because of you, Dae Ryong.

What did I do, kid?

Hello there!

Is this Yoo Dong Ryong's
restaurant?

We came for the free galbi.

- Are you here?
- Hi, Dae Ryong.

Hi. You're the first family here.

Is this Dong Ryong's store?

- We'll take one of these here.
- Yes.

- Where is it?
- Over there.

- We came for the galbi.
- Hello.

Dong Ryong!

- Hi, Dong Ryong.
- Hello.

Mister, two galbis please.

Wow, Sung Duk Seon. You got pretty.

Hey, your parents are here. Go on in.

Hello.

- You came alone.
- I came with my senior.

Is that the only person you're
friendly with?

I told you to bring everyone.

- Hello!
- I did bring people.

Man Ok, Ja Hyun, say hello.
This is my friend Dong Ryong.

Hello.

Oh, it's you right?
Ssangmun High's Park Nam Jung?

- Ssang Girls' High Wang Jo Hyun?
- Long time.

What is this? Did I hook you guys up?

Shut up. I likely have a girlfriend.

I think the broth is ready now.
I have to go inside.

I'm fine so worry about your own
love life.

Let's go.

Who's missing?

That punk. He thinks he's a star
and now he's always late.

- Hello.
- Hello!

- Hello.
- We heard there was free galbi.

Why are you just getting here?

All the galbi's been taken.

I drove here.

Then I guess I understand.
Have some soup.

Hey.

- Mom.
- Give us some food too.

Mom, we've prepared some galbi for you.

We'll go if you don't have it.

You did a good thing,
so come in and eat.

The school dean is here.

Who isn't here? Hands up.

Jung Pal and his mom.

His dad is not here either.

That's true. He's the one who told me
to prepare everything.

Hello...

Is this Dong Ryong's place where they
make the best galbi?

And you are that Mrs. Cheetah of
Sssangmundong that I've only heard about.

Please come in.

Come on in.

- What are you doing over there?
- Hey, my mom.

Oh my.

I was feeling down because
it was my birthday.

I feel a bit better because we're all
having dinner together.

Why would you feel down on your birthday?

You should be happy today.

Mom, I'd like to wish you happy birthday
on your 52nd birthday.

We can go home later
and have another party with our family.

Son, I don't want to make a big deal
out of my 52nd birthday.

Oh! Oh no! What should I do?

I'm so sorry. What can I do?

What a mess. I'm so sorry.

It's okay. I'm fine.

You better change your clothes.
It will start to smell.

I don't have clothes here.

Well, we do have some clothes here.
Do you want to get changed into them?

I'm so sorry.

Be careful now.

Over this way.

- Come over here.
- Okay.

It's all done. What about the music?

No need to worry.

- What about the cake?
- It's ready.

Jung Pal, someone is here.

- Jung Bong, you be the flower boy.
- Me? But my girlfriend is here.

Then should I do it?

Actually, it's always been my dream
to be a the flower boy.

- You didn't know, did you?
- No.

Okay.

Who will give her the bouquet?

- There's one person doing nothing.
- Who?

You. You can give it to her directly.

When I turn on the music,
you give it to your mom.

What? I'm not good at that stuff.

You crazy punk. This was all your idea.

Ma'am, can you Jung Hwan's mom?

Why? Is something wrong with her clothes?
Is she not coming?

I'm eating galbi wearing this now?

Wow, it fits you perfectly.

I do have a glamorous body.

Will I be able to digest in this thing?

Should I just take it off and eat?
I am feeling warm.

Gosh, you look pretty.

When else will you get to wear something
like this?

- How can I go out?
- Ma'am.

The prime beef is ready.

Okay, I got it.

- Hurry up and come out.
- Okay.

So pretty.

Goodness, what is this? Seriously...

- Mom.
- Wow!

What is this now?

Why are you all making a fuss?

- So pretty.
- What's going on here?

I should be careful in this dress.

- You look good.
- I'm so embarrassed.

Wow!

Oh my.

Hey now.

Why are you crying?

Bride and groom, please enter.

Kiss, kiss, kiss...

Dong Ryong, Dong Ryong, Dong Ryong...

Blow out the candle.

One, two, three!

Whose idea was it?

Your "Daughter."

- What?
- Jung Hwan?

How did you know that picture was a fake?

I thought we would never get caught.

It was obvious you had combined
two photos.

Thank you, Jung Hwan.
My menopause is gone. Thank you.

I didn't do it for this.

It's nothing to cry over.
Why are you doing this?

Be quiet, you!

Why are you crying over that?
It's a good thing. How embarrassing.

- Dad.
- Yeah?

- We have something for you too.
- Huh?

A present.

What's with all of you?
Have you all suddenly grown up or what?

What is this?

We decided to have our own retirement
with our family. Open it, Dad.

Oh... what's this?

Oh, isn't this a "Thank You" plaque?

Wow, I'll read it for everyone.

- Don't read it.
- You can't.

Why? It's a present from children to
their father.

We should read it
while we're all together.

- No, please don't read it.
- Yes, don't read it!

If you read that now,
everyone will cry.

Mister, you should still just read it.

- You can take insults later.
- Is that right?

I became a new groom
in my fifties.

I'll just take some insults today.
Why not?

Read it, read it.

"Thank you plaque."

"You worked at Hanil Bank for 26 years."

Manager Sung Dong Il...

Gosh, I don't think I can read this.

"Thank you plaque."

"You worked at Hanil Bank for 26 years."

"Manager Sung Dong Il,
we would like to thank you."

"We may no longer be able to call you
Manager Sung Dong Il."

"What has not changed is that..."

"Sung Dong Il is Lee Il Hwa's husband."

"And Sung Bo Ra, Sung Duk Seon,
and Sung No Eul..."

"He is the proud father
of three siblings."

"These are the things our father likes
to say the most often."

"Crap and hell."

"The words my father
hates the most are..."

"Forever Assistant Manager
and loan guarantee."

"The thing my father did best...
was buying useless items."

"And giving us kisses."

"His favorite food is seasoned
cockle shells and soju."

"And the thing my father loved
the most... It was our family."

"As our father's daughters and son..."

"because we could not give him a
warm word..."

"and we couldn't have a drink with him
that he liked so much..."

"or hold him in our arms first..."

"Or tell him we love him first..."

"And we could not consider the
weight of the title 'Dad...'"

"We are sorry and apologize."

"Even then, he was like a tree that
never stopped giving."

"A dad that Bo Ra respected. A dad
that was like a friend to Duk Seon."

"And a dad that provided
stability to No Eul."

"With that thankful heart...
we give you this plaque."

"December 5, 1994.
From, your children."

Goodness sakes.
Why did you bother reading that?

Sit down.

Our Duk Seon is so pretty.

Hey... you guys liven up the mood,
wouldn't you? What the heck...

You sure had good kids.

Hey, turn it on.

Turn what on?

Ra Mi Ran...

Il Hwa.

Have you heard of Hwa Moo Ship Il Hong?

Yes, I have.

A chrysanthemum has its season

and there is no flower that
keeps their color for ten days.

I have pulled myself together
and I'm going to something about it.

So I guess that statement is wrong too.

My life has almost passed now.

Time doesn't pass by just for us.

It passes by for everyone.

Who can you complain to? You just
accept it and go along with it.

I realized something really big today.

What's that?

I thought it was all over once the
petals bloomed.

But once those petals open,
there is another fruit that blooms.

I forgot about that.

I only got sad that my flower petals
weren't going to bloom again.

I couldn't see that.

I know I got let go from work.
But the way I raised my children...

I did such a good job, right?

Yes, but who knows?

They might cause us grief later on.

Maybe, I spoke too soon, didn't I?

But you never know.

This heart we have for our children,
someday they will...

answer us.

"Thank you."

Let's go.

So, you're going to work the counter
at the supermarket?

So, you're going to be a cashier?

You're really something, you know?

I got trained yesterday and today.
I'm starting tomorrow.

Since you've always worked,
you'll get sick if you stay home.

Dong Ryong's mom, did you go somewhere?

I didn't see you around for a while.

I left home.

- What?
- Why?

Why? Where?

It was two or three weeks ago.

I left and came back yesterday
to eat galbi.

But why did you leave home suddenly?

As for me...

In my life...

Just being called Dong Ryong's mom
or Dae Ryong's mom made me unhappy.

My name is Cho Soo Hyang.

I was watching my grandchildren.

My heart suddenly felt so suffocated.

I wondered what I was even doing there.

I thought I'd go insane like that.

When my grandchildren were asleep,
I just went to my sister's in Daejeon.

That's why Teacher Yoo was home.
He was taking care of the house.

He's a deep person.

He didn't even call because
he thought I'd worry.

Yes, everyone is okay.

Don't wake her. No.

Brother-in-law, do you want to pick
up my sister now?

No, I'm going to let Soo Hyang rest.

When your sister is better,
give me a call.

Then I'll go pick her up.

How are the kids? What about
your food and school?

I'll take care of it.
Just take care of your sister.

Bye now.

Wow, he is a real man.
He really is.

Oh my, but he didn't even let use know
at all.

We would have helped him out if we
had known, right?

Mom, I'm home.

Okay... my oldest is here.

Bo Ra, are you here?

Bo Ra, everyone's here.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Please have some persimmons.
My mom likes these.

- Have fun then.
- Okay.

Bo Ra's face looks better and better.

Isn't it time for her to get married?
Isn't she dating?

I think she is dating.

- Mom!
- Yeah.

He was on his way home,
so I told him to buy some red bean bread.

You should just sell those things.
How much do you eat per year?

- Are you here?
- Hello.

I bought a lot of them.

- Please enjoy.
- Okay.

- I'll be going now.
- Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye.

He should stay a bit.

What is this now?
We see each other all the time.

I know I'm right.
The two of them have something going on.

Stop saying total nonsense.

Do you want to see your mom faint?

Shut your mouth now.

Sun Woo must have
so much to stress about.

He'll do fine.

Are you confident about it?

Mom, can you let it go this once?

I'm confident I won't change.
Aren't you?

That's can't ever happen.

Hey.

Are you doing this on purpose to make
me angry?

You just never know with people.

The bride will now enter.

Bride, enter.
