Grandma!

Where are you going?

Let's go together.

Let's go together.

Grandma...

Grandma, let's go.

Let's go now, Grandma.

Let's go.

Yoo Ji-tae

Lee Young-ae

One Fine Spring Day

Over here... over here.

Hello?

Yes, hello?

Yes, look here. Over here.

Yes, that was me.

Hello. I'm from Aram Sound Studio.

My name's Lee Sang-woo.

I'm Han Eun-su. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You're rather late, aren't you?

Can I listen?

Ma'am?

- Are you finished? - Yes.

That was fast.

- Can I ask you a few things? - Why not?

What's your name?

Kang Hwa-soon.

Kang, Hwa, Soon?

- How old are you? - 72.

How long have you been living in this bamboo forest?

52 years.

- The forest sounds so nice. - I know.

When does it sound best?

When it snows and the wind blows.

The sound of the forest comforts me.

It's just beautiful.

I see. Good.

I'm so hungry!

I will bring it over.

- We're waiting. - Okay.

How long have you been recording?

About five years.

Not bad for five years.

Did you cut your finger? Let me see.

It's bleeding.

Go like this... Try this. Like this.

- I'm okay. - No, try this.

Higher. Up high. Up above your heart.

Where'd you learn this?

From my grandmother.

You live with your grandmother?

Must be nice.

She's not well these days.

What is that? Shake it. Like this.

Eat up.

Thank you, ma'am.

Isn't it a bit much for you?

You don't think I can finish it?

Make sure not to leave any.

After I left him,

the sadness ached deep in my ribs.

This realization...

Perhaps I'd loved him?

I never told him I loved him.

It's you, right?

Here, announcers do producing, too.

It makes my heart ache, too.

Don't. It's good.

This is so embarrassing.

Could you turn the light on?

Come in.

The third one sounds better.

We'll use the second one.

The third one sounds softer because...

The third one is better.

Having lived 52 years in bamboo forest,

Ms. Kang says the sound comforts her.

It makes her forget her cares.

On today's "Nature and People,"

we're listening to the sound

of wind in a bamboo forest.

Must be hard working so late.

Doesn't your family worry?

I wish I'd someone to worry over me.

You should get married, then.

I tried that once already.

Know how to use a fire extinguisher?

Take out the safety pin...

Point the nozzle at the fire...

And squeeze down on the handle.

I memorized it. Just now.

Oh,

aching heart of yesterday,

sorrow of today.

Is this a woman's destiny?

Or the mischief of fate?

Because it is his destiny

that I should go alone...

...when I turn back in tears...

once more, even if we hate, I will say

...farewell!

Applause!

Mother, don't I sing well?

Hey, I'm getting better, huh?

Thank you, Mother.

What about you, nothing?

Mom gave you 100 won. That's enough.

Besides, I gave her that money.

Why don't you go home?

You want me to?

- Don't stop me. - I'm just kidding.

Great-grandmother, great-grandfather.

Turn it gently.

Grandma looks pretty.

Mom, mom, and mom.

The train Dad used to conduct.

Who's this, Grandma?

My bridegroom!

Grandma, who's this, then?

Who is this old man?

Mom, it's Dad. See? Dad.

Dad as a young man. Dad as an old man.

What's she doing?

She's sleeping.

Auntie...

Did Grandma and Grandpa...

get along well?

They were a great couple.

Your grandpa took good care of her.

He took her places, bought her makeup

and took many photos of her.

Then why'd he have an affair?

Sometimes that happens.

Really?

Sang-woo...

Get married while she's still alive.

I'm serious.

Hello?

Yes?

No, I wasn't sleeping.

Oh, Ms. Han.

Yes.

Next Monday? Yes.

Oh, it's raining there? Not here.

Yes, good night. Bye.

We can't record it without any wind.

Yeah, we'll have to try again tomorrow.

What did you pray for back there?

I forgot.

Thanks for the ride.

It was no problem.

Well...

Do you want some ramen?

Come in.

What kind of liquor do you like best?

You know...

Why?

There's just... such a variety.

How long have you lived alone?

Tell me something funny.

Ramen is good with soju.

I don't know any funny stories.

I'm naturally unfunny.

That was funny.

You want to sleep over?

Let's get to know each other first.

God, how embarrassing!

It's lower down.

Here?

Lower.

Here?

Lower.

It feels so good being with you.

Hello, Mr. Kang? This is Sang-woo.

It's raining so much here...

we can't record anything.

I'll have to stay another night.

Yes.

Where am I?

A mountain temple.

Hello? Hello? I can't hear you.

My turn, right?

One fine spring day...

The spring wind blows

at my sheer pink skirt...

I'm on my way!

Mioo, here.

This is the chief's spear!

It's for you.

You must find Pipo!

Yes, mother!

Put me through.

Listen... It's "Papo," not "Pipo."

Alright?

Let's try it again.

Here we go.

Got something going on these days?

What do you mean?

You know.

Nothing's going on.

I miss you, too.

Eun-su.

Eun-su.

Eun-su.

You really want to see me that much?

Okay.

Good night.

To Kang-neung!

What?

Kang-neung!

Don't you know where that is?

You're drunk.

Had a lot, haven't you?

Jeong-kuk,

I fell in love.

And she lives in Kang-neung.

Hey.

I'll pay you.

I know how much you need it.

You're not kidding, are you?

I really want to see her.

You couldn't pick anyone closer?

Thanks, Jeong-kuk.

Buy me a drink later.

Drive carefully.

Okay. Good luck.

Bye.

You look cool when you're drunk.

I feel good!

What were you like in high school?

A troublemaker.

- What? - A troublemaker!

A troublemaker?

This is the house where I was born.

Really?

And the radio station.

My great-grandpa was born here.

You must have always lived here.

There's my great-grandma walking by.

Passed.

Another coming.

Passed.

Be careful, be very very careful...

Oh my God.

Having fun?

Let's go faster.

- We're going fast as it is. - Come on. It's not such a big deal.

Oh, really?

Sang-woo...

After we die, how about

getting buried together like that?

Answer me.

You don't want to?

Hello?

Well...

can you recognize me?

Mother!

Mother, come out for a minute.

Mom, come on out!

It's not you who did anything wrong!

Tell her I am sorry.

Just forget about it all.

Who was that?

Your grandfather's mistress.

- I'm not late, am I? - No.

- This is it, right? - Yeah, thanks.

- Have you eaten? - Bye! See you later, okay?

Eun-su, who's that?

Just someone I know.

So no one at the station...

knows we're seeing each other?

You'd get fired if they found out.

Then we couldn't meet.

Want me to do yours?

No, it's alright.

I'm sorry!

- Should we have some ramen? - Yeah, I'm hungry.

What kind of ramen?

Today? Ttok ramen.

Ttok ramen.

Put in some kimchi, too!

Sorry I'm late.

I'm here with music critic Lee Ji-hoon.

You're listening to FM Music Voyage.

I bet you had eyelid surgery!

Please feel free to mail me your letters.

So, the ladies are at it again!

You're home, brother?

Hello, ladies.

- I'm home. - Welcome back.

Grandma, I'm home!

Where's Mother?

Sleeping in Sang-woo's room.

So hot.

She's not in here.

Where'd you say she was?

She's in Sang-woo's room!

She must have gone out!

Stop it now. Quit it!

Why?

Didn't you hear Mother's gone out?

Don't leave!

I've lost a lot. Wait for me!

Mom!

They've a hard time with the old lady.

When did she go out, anyway?

- Thank you, sir. - Please try to look after her.

Yes, we will.

Goodbye then.

This kimchi is really good.

Who made it?

My father.

Really?

You know how to make kimchi?

Of course.

You think I can't?

Once when I was little,

after my mom died,

dad was beating me.

So I was crying,

Mom! Mom!

He never laid a hand on me since.

Now he wants to meet my girlfriend.

Sang-woo...

I can't make kimchi.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Let me love you with all my life could bear

Did you come to do another program?

Hot, isn't it?

Know how to use a fire extinguisher?

Forget it.

I know how to cheer you up, though.

Want a glass of beer?

- Have you been drinking? - No.

You've had a lot.

What made you drink so much?

I didn't drink!

Let's go to bed.

Are you alright?

What?

Eun-su, what's the matter?

Are you really okay?

What is it?

Something wrong?

Don't cry.

Don't.

Eun-su, let's eat.

Come on, Eun-su.

Don't want to eat. I want to sleep.

I made fish soup for your hangover.

Let's get up.

I don't want to eat.

Let's eat, okay?

Just leave me alone! Stop it!

How long have you been singing "Arirang"?

I started when I was 20...

How long is that, then?

60 years.

Do you often sing "Arirang" with him?

That's a ridiculous question.

Men do not sing with their wives.

Not like these days.

So you never sang together?

Now people do, but old folks, never.

Are you ready?

Go ahead, ma'am.

I built a castle of thorns

to fend off the white hair,

But that awful white hair

stole upon me from behind.

The sun on the west mountain

does not wish to set.

And my love on the road

does not wish to leave.

Arirang arirang

arariyo...

Send me over,

over Arirang Hill

What'll you do now? We're almost done.

What do you mean?

I mean, we're almost finished.

What's finished?

We're almost done. Didn't you hear me?

- What's finished? - Oh, Jesus!

What'll you do after this project.

I've got to go somewhere.

Come make me some ramen, okay?

I got some work to do.

Work? Something I don't know about?

You're just going out to drink.

Eun-su...

Do I look like your cook?

Watch what you say.

Eun-su!

I got you something to eat.

It's Han Eun-su's FM Music Voyage.

We welcome your love stories...

I loved with all my life,

I loved unto death.

Offered all my naive heart

And surrendered all my trust...

But he was not a man to be loved

When I turn back in tears,

once more, even if we hate,

I shall say... farewell!

Hurry it up.

You know how the producer is.

Is this it?

Hello?

Where are you going?

Move!

Yeah, I'm at the sound studio.

It's been a while.

I have to get back.

Are you mad?

Are you happy I came?

Did you miss me?

I should go.

Are you asleep?

No.

Sang-woo...

Let's be apart for just one month.

Do you mean breaking up?

You can do it, right?

I don't know.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Been a while since we all ate together.

Are you eating enough these days?

Sang-woo...

I told you to bring home a girlfriend.

A girlfriend? Bring her home.

Can't take care of this family forever.

I don't have one.

You don't?

Get married while she's still alive.

I want a grandson, too.

Want me to set you up?

I know a nice girl.

Don't bother.

I'm full. Can I be excused?

Where're you going? You're not done.

I don't feel like eating.

I bought you two pounds of pork.

Mom, don't do that.

Mother, eat slowly. Please!

Something's going on, huh?

Nothing's going on.

Do your best, son.

Yeah, it's me. Have you eaten?

I guess you're really busy.

Okay.

Aren't we going a bit far?

Why, are you scared?

Step on it.

Faster!

Hello?

I said I'd call. Stop doing this.

What are you doing in this heat?

Listen...

What is it?

I don't think...

I can come to work from tomorrow.

Want to get a drink after work?

I'll find someone to take my place.

Hey...

You're not making sense.

Sang-woo, don't you know any better?

Aw, fuck. I...

What?

Fuck?

I'm sorry.

Sit down!

Come back!

Let me sleep here.

Let me sleep here.

Sang-woo.

Eun-su...

Want to see something funny?

We said we wouldn't do this.

Do you want a ride?

No, thanks.

Did I do anything stupid?

Bye.

Could you stop, please?

Let's break up.

I'll do better.

Let's break up.

Do you love me?

How could love fade away?

Let's break up.

Grandma, let's go now.

Grandma, come on.

I have to wait for your grandfather.

He's gone.

He passed away.

Let's go.

Get ahold of yourself.

Get ahold of yourself!

Hey, how've you been?

- You skip dinner again? - I'm eating now.

You want to go to Kang-neung again?

Let's go have a drink!

I don't feel like getting drunk.

When I get drunk, it feels...

like she'll be waiting for me.

Sang-woo, forget her.

Imagine she's an old woman.

White hair, wrinkles...

Doesn't it help to think that way?

Just imagine.

Right.

Now I feel sorry for her.

But I still miss her.

Let's go.

Let's stay just a little longer.

I hope the weather is good tomorrow.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to see you.

Are you going somewhere?

Go home. I have to leave.

Do you want a ride?

You find it okay?

- You got here first? - We've been waiting.

- My friends. - Hello.

You must be tired. Let's go in.

Sang-woo!

It's hard, isn't it?

Buses and women, once they go,

...aren't worth stopping.

You been well?

You haven't changed at all.

Do you remember?

What?

You know...

Give this to your grandma.

Caring for it helps the memory.

Shall we spend the day together?

What?

Bye.

Okay. Goodbye.

Sang-woo!
