All language subtitles for Graceful Friends E01

What's your friend like?

He's energetic in everything he does,

righteous, and delightful.

To put it simply, he's a great friend.

He's thoughtful,

and he can't bear to see
other people in trouble.

I'm older than him,

but he's a very dependable friend
whom I want to lean on

as if he was my older brother.

I'm not sure. Other people
have trouble finding one happiness,

but he's a guy who has everything.

He's a friend who does everything he can
to keep the happiness he found.

He does have a hot temper,

but he's not a guy who would kill anyone.

He loses his temper at times,

but he's not someone who'd kill a man.

Sometimes he'd go crazy,

but I’m sure he didn't kill him.

But of course, he probably wanted to.

Hey, in here!

Gung-cheol!

Hey, man.

-Damn it.
-Gung-cheol.

What time did you get home?

Two o'clock, maybe.

Maybe three o'clock.

Four o'clock.

Were you busy giving sales to a new store?

"Giving sales"? No. I just showed
good manners and grabbed a drink.

I said to look after yourself.

You never used to get drunk, but
that's all you've been doing these days.

Don't you think that's a problem?

I had another dream where I was falling.

That's the third time this month.

Isn't that odd?

You're an expert at changing subjects.

I think I'm experiencing some kind of
psychological nervousness or anxiety.

Or it could be an ominous sign
that I will end up getting involved

in big trouble very soon.

What's your take as a psychiatrist?

If you want a counseling session,

come to the hospital
and request an official diagnosis.

You're too harsh.

We are family.
I'm your husband, whom you must respect!

More coffee, please.

Right here.

Dad, I want more milk.

Sure.

All right.

-Stop.
-All right.

Was today the celebration
for the 1,000th store?

Yes. Right. My gosh.

The chairman has been going around
complimenting me to everyone.

It's been so embarrassing.

It's all thanks to you, Mr. An.

Without you, we wouldn't
have gone up to 1,000 stores.

Mr. An, you're the treasure of my life.

So? Will he give you a bonus?

A bonus?

He didn't say that.

Anyone can give compliments.
He should actually do something.

He's doing something
by complimenting me in words.

A material reward isn't that important.

A material reward

is fair compensation for your hard work.

Your chairman
only compliments you in words,

and you're content with that
even though you work yourself to death.

Both of you seem irresponsible to me.

What?

"Irresponsible"?

Don't you know how important a dad is
to his son? What? "Irresponsible"?

Do you want Yu-bin to think of me
as an irresponsible guy?

He already learned that from you.

He's irresponsibly in peace
even though he's the worst in his class.

That doesn't mean he's irresponsible.
He's positive and optimistic.

What is this?

You're going to wear this to work?

What's so bad about this blouse?

I can see all of your chest!
It goes all the way down…

I can practically see your belly button.
And your chest--

I can see everything.
You're going to wear this?

I told you that
I have an important engagement tonight.

An engagement? What engagement?

Right, you're going to a male escort club.

Why are you dressed like this
for that occasion?

Because I don't want to be an old lady.

You're driving me insane.

I barely agreed to let you go,

and what did you say?
You don't want to be an old lady?

My gosh. Take that off and get changed
while I'm still gentle with you.

You "barely agreed"?

Of course, I did! What kind of a husband
would easily say yes to an escort club?

Only a guy like me
could barely manage to say yes.

Excuse me, Mr. An Gung-cheol.

Did I ever say anything
while you were busy going to hostess bars?

It's because I went strictly on business.
I had to humor my clients.

I'm also going strictly on business,
to entertain someone.

I didn't say anything.

Don't drink too much while you're there.

I don't want you to get a stomachache.

Do you remember what I told you before?

Spit it out on a wet cloth
while wiping your mouth.

Drink oolong tea as if it's hard liquor.
All right?

I'm not going to drink, so don't worry.

Jeong-hae, please get changed
before you go.

Your outfit is
unbelievably revealing right now.

It's not a proper outfit you put on
to provide entertainment.

-I'm late. Bye.
-Jeong-hae. Hey.

Ms. Nam Jeong-hae. Ms. Jeong-hae?

Jeong-hae.

Hey, Jeong-hae. Come here. My gosh.

Jeong-hae.

Jeong-hae.

-Jeong-hae.
-I won't be late.

Jeong-hae. Nam Jeong-hae.
Will you really be like this?

Jeong-hae!

Dr. Ko already gave me a call.

The chairwoman has been feeling
awfully lonely as she reaches her 60th.

Of course, she has.

So I reserved a great place for round two.

"A great place"? Like where?

I'll send you the address.
See you tonight.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I'm fine.

There's a lot of traffic in this area.

You don't need to speed that much.

This road isn't only for automobiles.

And I believe you were
also driving over the speed limit.

I'm in a hurry to get to work.

Call me if anything happens.

No.

We're both at fault here.

If anything happens,
let's say it's each to their own.

I'm in a hurry to get to work, too.

HI-FIVE CHICKEN

Hi-Five Chicken

couldn't have opened our 1,000th store
if it hadn't been

for every single one of you.

All of you are

the biggest treasure of my life,
of Hi-Five Chicken!

CELEBRATING HI-FIVE'S 1,000TH STORE

Here.

So?

Was my speech too tacky?

Tacky? It was awesome, Mr. Yang.

-Really?
-Yes, sir.

Anyway, where's Mr. An?
I don't see him here.

I believe he's at the 1,000th store.

-At the 1,000th store?
-Yes, sir.

Darn it.

Why is that punk
working hard all by himself?

HI-FIVE CHICKEN

-Use up the day's ingredients on that day.
-Yes, sir.

If you have any leftovers,
make sure you keep it as fresh as possible

-by sealing it tightly.
-Yes, sir.

Well, I'm sure Mr. Bang will manage.

Yes, sir.

Looks great. Everything looks great.

Don't be too worried, Mr. An.

Mr. An, why aren't you at the celebration?

I'm not the partying type.

I see.

-Keep it up.
-Yes, sir.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

-Go.
-All right, now. Go inside.

I'll get going.

Thank you so much
for your concern in everything.

We'll never forget your kindness
and repay you.

Goodness, don't say that, ma'am.

-Thank you, Mr. An.
-Thank you, Mr. An.

We're so thrilled to work again.

After I was forced to resign,
I spent the last few years

sighing my life away

by the Han River every single day.

-Hey, Gung-cheol.
-Aren't you getting off soon?

I'm near the city hall. Let's go together.

That sounds great.

Yes.

Yes. I'll be done soon.

Call me when you're nearby. Okay.

Bye.

It has been a while.

He's less than human!

What? I'm less than human?
Then what am I? A beast?

Even a beast is better than you!

My face sags even with Botox shots
because you stress me out so much!

I can never digest my food
even with the help of digestive medicine!

Dr. Nam, did you just hear what he said?

You two

have not been doing what I asked.

I told you time and time again
to only think of good memories.

But you've only been thinking about
the bad times,

and spent the entire session
saying hurtful things to each other.

You continue to hurt each other
before your wounds heal.

Of course, they'll get infected.

Do you want to heal?

Or will you leave your wounds to rot
so you can cut them out?

Mr. Lee Jae-min.

Do I really cause you indigestion?

I guess you'll have to
take medicine again.

You called me a beast.
You must be thrilled to live with one.

My goodness. This is so frustrating.

Are you going to take
the digestive medicine again?

-Will you do that?
-My gosh!

Ms. Ji Myeong-suk.

Ms. Ji Myeong-suk?

Yes.

NAME: JI MYEONG-SUK

Long time no see, Jeong-hae.

Goodness.

I saw your name
and thought it might be you.

Please grab a seat.

All right.

-Okay.
-Yes, Doctor.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS FOR DEPRESSION

I CANNOT STAND MY SADNESS AND UNHAPPINESS

You have mild depression.

I told you ages ago to collect the tax.
Why haven't you done that?

Mr. Chun, did you take a bribe from them?

Goodness, sir.
How can you say something that absurd?

It is absurd, isn't it?

If you know it's absurd,
then why didn't you do your job?

There won't be any problem
if you collect whatever that's due.

Why were you unable to do that?
You're causing us trouble!

The delinquent got divorced on paper, so…

I apologize.

You always say
you apologize and you're sorry.

Stop saying that to me,

and just make sure you collect the taxes.

You drive me insane
with your pretentious kindness--

Man, my head hurts.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

Make a list of delinquent taxpayers
and turn it in within the day.

And if you don't collect those in a month,

be ready to be the worst employee
for our next employee evaluation.

My goodness. If you don't want to work,
just quit, and open up a chicken place.

MAN-SIKKIE

Hey, Man-sik.

Hey, Gung-cheol.

Man, I'm so sorry.

But something came up at work.
I think I'll have to work overtime.

You haven't arrived, have you?

I haven't.
Something just came up for me, too.

I'll meet you at the Outlaws.

Okay, then. Should we do that?

Man, this place can't function without me.

Of course, it can't. I know.

All right, then. See you later.

All right. See you.

-Cheers.
-Cheers!

Bottoms up.

I just need one more drink.

Just grab one drink.

-Drink up.
-I'm fine.

-Hello.
-Over here.

Are you going to sleep over?

Yes, I'm going to sleep over.

You surprised me.

Finally. My wife is sleeping over
at the hot spring tonight.

-Really?
-Really?

Hey, I'm partying all night,
so you all better join me. Okay?

Especially you, An Gung-cheol.
Don't be cheap and leave early.

You can't be cheap and single me out.

As if I want to leave.

My heart wants to party all night,
but my body can't keep up, you punk.

Hey, I finally got my freedom
after six years.

Is our friendship so shallow
you can't do this for me?

Will the state pay us a friendship pension
if we die partying?

If so, I'll hang out all night.

A friendship pension?
That sounds pretty good.

I'll use it at work.

So? How are you going to party all night?
Let me hear your idea.

I have no idea.

But you know, is that so important?

No matter what we do,
what's important is that we're together.

Come on. Drink up.

A toast. Let's make a toast.

-Here.
-All right.

All right. You need to make a toast, too.

-I still have some left.
-All right, cheers!

-Here.
-Cheers!

He's so excited.

Is he that happy to have his wife
sleep out for a night?

Just get divorced.
Then you'll always be alone.

Hey, it's not easy to get divorced.

You have to be competent enough
to do that.

-Goodness, sir. Do you come here often?
-Hyeong-u.

-Hey.
-I'm a regular here.

I'm a regular, too. Let's toast to that.

I got sick of that and divorced him.

I couldn't take him
sleeping around anymore.

It wasn't about
the women's looks or career.

He'd go and flirt with every single woman

he'd never met before.

If I stayed
and watched him keep doing that,

-I probably would've died of anger.
-Goodness. Drink up.

Dr. Nam, do you play golf?

No, I took a few lessons, then quit.

That's not good.

There's this person
I really want you to meet,

and that person loves to play golf.

We're playing together
on the weekend next month.

So keep taking lessons and join us.

-Chairwoman.
-Yes?

Who is that person?

-You should let us meet that person, too.
-Seriously.

I'll make another occasion for you two.

-Really?
-Yes.

Right, there's a position open
for a professor at the hospital.

Did you apply?

Yes.

That person might be able to help you.

Hey, Gung-cheol.

-Hey, you're late.
-Sorry.

-Did you eat dinner?
-I did.

Why do you have so much work?

I've got two jobs,
but you seem to be busier than I am.

It's not that much.

It's because he works for our country.

Eat up.

Thank you.

This looks hot.

No one is coming for you.

I won't steal it, so eat slowly.

Should I?

Man-sik loves fish cake soup.

Man-sik, eat this, too.

Okay. Thanks.

Why did you get so worn out
while we haven't met?

Are you sure you aren't sick?

No, I'm fine.

You look worse than him.

You should look after your skin, old man.

My gosh, look how wrinkly you are.
I'm suddenly craving rice pudding.

-Goodness.
-Fine.

I'd rather be a piece of fish cake
in an earthen pot.

I'll be fifty soon,
but my kid is only seven,

my bank account is almost drained,

and my immature wife is
always asking for a new bag.

Am I making money to live my life,

or am I living my life to make money?

You're still on the happier side of life.

Numbers of people are forced to resign,
then they get sick, and die at your age.

Are you seriously saying that
to comfort me?

Cheer up, Chun-bok.

Our average life span has gone up 100,
so you're still a youngster at 50.

The owner of our 1,000th store is
about to turn 60,

and he's really energetic.

I'm most jealous of you, man.

You're a director of a big-name company,

and you have a wife who's a doctor.

If we should be jealous of someone,
I'd say it's Jae-hoon over Gung-cheol.

He's a doctor himself,

and he's divorced and single.

If you put it that way,
no one should be happier than you.

You never work and bum around,

-but your rich wife still adores you.
-Darn you.

-There, there.
-Darn you.

Now that I think about it,
I'm the only one who's unhappy.

You're right. You've been living
in deep unhappiness for a while.

It's time.

Happiness will find you soon.
Happiness will come.

Will I ever be happy?

I can't seem to do that.

-What's "that"?
-What's "that"?

Guys.

Actually, I…

I can…

no longer get it up
even with the help of pills.

May I have some more soup?

Yes, hello. Thank you.

I have to use the restroom.

Do you get me?

I've been feeling oddly empty,

and my body has been aching so much
as if there are holes in my bones.

I came with high expectations tonight.

Of course.

I can't drink by myself.
Do you want a drink?

I won't drink tonight.

-Really? Then grab a cold drink of water.
-Sure.

-Let's make a toast.
-Of course.

-Of course.
-Come on, cheers.

-For Dr. Nam. Cheers!
-Cheers!

Cheers!

This is great.

Everything's sweet tonight.

If you're done talking,
should I get the boys?

The king of virility!

I'm Jun.

I'm a hot guy who'll melt away
your frozen body and heart.

I'm Hyeon.

Sweeter than chocolate,

I'm the sweet guy, Gang.

A million and one.
A million and two. A million and three.

I'm the high-speed human charger, Min.

These men are our club's top escorts.

So? Should I bring in the other boys?

Well, we'll just go with them.

-What do you think, Dr. Nam?
-Sounds good.

-The virility king.
-Yes?

Come here.

Then I'll go with the sweet guy.

I can use some sugar lately.

Then I'll go with the high-speed charger.

My battery has been running low recently.

Sit over here.

Let's see.

Then the hot guy

-will have to sit next to Dr. Nam.
-Okay.

Wait. If you don't make her
feel hot tonight,

you won't get any tips.

I'll remember that.

-All right, let's have some real fun.
-Okay.

-Make some delicious drinks.
-Sure.

How many glasses?

Enjoy your time.

Let me know if you need anything.

Sure.

-Let's see if it's any good.
-Gosh.

-Here.
-All right.

So what happened?

What do you think?

I got kicked out of the room.

You got kicked out?

My gosh, I didn't think she was like that.

That's awful. She's very brutal.

Think about how she felt.

Eun-sil didn't do anything wrong.
It's all on me.

It's all my fault. My gosh.

That's why I told you
to look after your health, Chun-bok.

I told you to start working out.

I don't have time to work out!

I barely have enough time to make money.

-Let's go hiking!
-Oh my god.

Did you have a dream?
Why do you suddenly want to go hiking?

I mean, you all said
you wanted to look after your health.

There's nothing better than hiking
when it comes to lower-body exercise.

What are you going to do
with a strong lower body?

You won't have any use for it.

Really? Is it good for your lower body?

-Is it true?
-Yes.

When do you want to go?
How about this Saturday?

I can't.

Tomorrow is Jeong-hae's birthday.

Yu-bin will be at a friend's house,

so I'm going to spend all night
volunteering myself for her.

You're right. Jeong-hae's birthday was
around this time of the year.

What about Sunday?

You'll be too tired, right?

I have to stay up all night tomorrow,
so yes, I'll be very tired.

But if it's for Chun-bok's lower body,

I am willing to sacrifice myself.

-Okay, fine. Let's go.
-Really?

-Thank you! Thanks, Gung-cheol!
-Don't thank me.

Let's make a toast for our health
as we celebrate our first hike.

Fly, fly, Phoenix! Fly!

-Fly!
-Fly!

-Fly!
-Phoenix!

-Phoenix!
-Phoenix!

Okay. Let's go hiking on Sunday.

Gather around.

Why?

Here's what we're doing tonight.

Let's hang out
with those girls over there.

Great work today.

Don't mention it. Thank you for coming.

Please look after them.

Don't worry and get home safely.

And you aren't done with your treatment.
Stop by when you have time.

Yes, all right.

There's this person
I really want you to meet,

and that person loves to play golf.

We're playing together
on the weekend next month.

So keep taking lessons and join us.

NEW SPACE GOLF CLUB

Is there anything interesting?

My gosh.

Nope, nothing.

Goodness! It's been so long, Ms. Nam.

I'm here to practice.

Starting again?

I'm glad you decided to come back.

A really good coach
just joined our staff, you know.

And he's very handsome, too.

-One second, please.
-Sure.

Tell Coach Joo to come down.

Okay.

He'll be here soon.

Over here.

Sit down.

Let's join them and drink. Come on.

Let's drink with them
and have fun. Please.

Why are you doing this
in your own neighborhood?

Do you want to end your life here?

I'd gladly die.

If I can drink with girls like that,
I'll die without any regrets.

You know what your wife is like.

You won't die alone.
You'll bring all of us down with you.

Stop whining and wake up, you punk!

My gosh, man.

What are friends for?

Even dead people get their wishes granted.

I finally got my freedom after six years.
Don't you feel bad for me?

If he's that desperate to do that,
I'd just let him.

Yes, Hyeong-u usually doesn't do this.

He must like them a lot.

You people are awful.

If you want to party that badly,
then here we go.

-Rock, paper, scissors, lizard.
-Rock, paper, scissors, lizard.

-Spock sings and MSG is good!
-Spock sings and MSG is good!

-Good!
-Good!

-Yes!
-One more time.

-Just one more time.
-No way.

If you want to party, you talk to them.

Hey, I mean, I'm much shyer than I look.

Chun-bok.

Hey.

Okay, fine. Fine, then.

I need one of you to come with me.

Chun-bok, come with me.

No way.

Two minutes have passed.
Go or don't go, it's your call.

I'll be back.

-Hurry up and go.
-Hurry up and go.

Why do they keep looking at us?

-I'm serious. They did.
-Have a drink.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Excuse me.

Let's go out and have a drink. It's on us.

No thanks. You old men
can enjoy your night by yourselves.

Come on, we aren't old.
What do you mean, "old men"?

-No way.
-Gosh.

I know a place
that has killer grilled eels.

Let's have a drink, play games, and--

We're not interested, so just go.

-Man, he just killed the fun.
-Goodness.

I saved it. I saved your fun.

-No way.
-That was good.

You kept smiling at us before.

Old man.

We smiled at you?

I can't believe them.

What?

They're so brazen.

This is totally ludicrous.

Old man, we weren't smiling at you.

We were looking at Park Bo-geon.
Don't you know who he is?

-What?
-Seriously, this is annoying.

He's way too delusional.

-I can't believe it.
-What's he saying?

-Go away.
-Drink up.

-Unbelievable.
-No way.

-I'm sorry.
-He killed our fun.

I can't believe how silly they're being
at their age.

-He's coming.
-He's coming.

They weren't smiling at us.

What?

It was that guy.

DO YOU WANT SOME SUNSU WITH BO-GEON?

You jerk.

-This is embarrassing.
-Damn it.

Let's go.

Hey, watch your head.

My gosh.

-It says right there.
-Watch your head.

Read it. It's written right here.

Why can't he read?

It's them?

They're so brazen.

-Unbelievable.
-That was annoying.

OUTLAWS OF THE WILD

Here's your dish.

Sir, we had a great time.

Damn it.

You brought this awful food for us to eat?

Hey, owner. Are you insane?

This was fried just now.

What is this?

You take 20,000 won for this?

Do you think we're a joke or what?

Let's go, Gung-cheol.

I'm sure he'll be fine. Don't worry.

Hey, they have tattoos.
Make a wise decision.

Should we just call the police?

If you don't like that dish,
I can get you a different one instead.

You can go first.

-Gung-cheol, no.
-Do you think we're pushovers?

You eat this awful crap, you old man.

Let's just go. Let's go.

Make it again!

-Who are you?
-What is this?

What's he doing?

What are you doing?

-My gosh!
-What's with him?

-You jerks!
-You punks!

Man, I'm wearing flip-flops.

Take this!

I can't believe
you got into a group fight!

Pull down your shirt.
Stop scratching yourself.

Put your clothes back on properly.
And your shoes, too!

You're all far too old for this,
and this is your neighborhood.

We're not going to settle this, so sue me!

He's not going to settle this,
so let's do this by the law.

-First off,
-I'll be a little late tonight.

you can all expect
to spend the night here.

Damn it.

This is all because of you.

Excuse me.

-Officer.
-What?

Goodness.

Tomorrow is

my wife's birthday.
I cherish and love her the most

in this world.

She'll be turning 45.

Goodness, congratulations.

Thank you.

So what? What?

Could you just let me out tonight?
I'll leave, then…

I can't hear you. Speak up.

I'll come back in two days.

You can't do that here.

-Yes, I know I can't.
-Do you think this is a joke?

I'm serious. I'm not joking around.

I made a reservation two months ago
at a restaurant that's hard to get into.

So I'll go, then come back in two days.

Just sit down already. Come on.

If you have a taser, use it.

Stop talking nonsense, and sit down!

-I'll make sure--
-Sit.

-Officer, I'll really--
-Sit.

-Officer!
-Who is this jerk?

Who did this?

Who messed with my boys?

Was it you? You?

I'll pull out his eyeball and split it
into five pieces on top of a pool table.

You're here, Boss!

Oh, boy.

Come here.

Look at this nonsense. All right.

Are you all punching bags?
Why did you get beaten up?

Who was it? Who did this?

-Where?
-Was it you?

Look at him.

-Man.
-Look at this guy.

What's he doing? Look.

I can't believe this.

All of you. Did you mess with my boys?

If you've aged this much,

you should sit at home quietly
and do some breathing exercises.

What kind of nonsense is going on here?

You! Do you want to die?

Let me see your faces.
Old man, lift your head up.

Lift your heads up unless you want to die.

Old man, lift up your head.

Wait.

Wait, aren't you
Dr. Jeong Jae-hoon, the urologist?

Goodness, you should stand up.

No. Just kill us.

You're a man
who gave me a new life and hope.

But my immature boys had no idea
and made a huge mistake.

Bow down, you punks.

-We're sorry!
-We're sorry!

Come on, things happen in life.

I'm sure Dr. Jeong
doesn't want you to do this.

Dr. Jeong, right?
Please don't do this. Stand up.

You should save your faces. I'm sorry.

We'll get going, then.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

Keep up the good work.

Just come.

Excuse me, Dr. Jeong!

What did he mean when he said
you gave him a new life and hope?

I did an enlargement surgery on him.

That means the sun has risen
in his dark life.

If you can let the sun rise for others,

why can't you fix your pipe pressure?

You can't scratch your own back.

You aren't in a situation
to criticize my pipe pressure.

Cho Hyeong-u.

-Cho Hyeong-u.
-Yes?

If you ever say
you want to drink with other women,

-I'll kill you.
-Stay here, man.

Okay, fine.
How many times do you have to say that?

Should I answer 100 times?

-Okay.
-Hey, let's be quiet.

I can't focus.

Man, he reminds me of my younger days.

You were never young.

Darn you.

I couldn't take a leak outside
when I was his age.

People would report me and everything.

It's not a great idea to try for too long.

I once shot myself on my face and fainted.

Why didn't you shoot a bird
if it was that strong?

Hey, man. Didn't I tell you?

Back in my heyday,
I'd go up a mountain and catch wild pigs.

Goodness.

Excuse me, Man-sik. Mr. Man-sik?
Did you just laugh at me?

That's cold. Stop it.

Hey, man. Stop it.

Take this!

What are you doing?

Your swing won't get any better
just because you use more power.

Hold your club.

Don't lift your right leg.

Put your weight on your back,
and try swinging more naturally.

Remember what that felt like.

Then you'll get much better.

From now on, just tell me with words.
I can understand everything.

You'll improve much faster
if I fix your posture

than if I just use words.

Also…

I wasn't getting any weird ideas.

Don't worry about that.

I heard your company
opened up the 1,000th store.

Congrats.

Thanks.

It feels like yesterday
when we opened the 100th.

Gosh, it's overwhelming.

Gung-cheol, you're really cool.

You're a friend,

but I sometimes find myself admiring you.

What's with you? Wait, do you need

some money urgently?

No, I mean it.

Whenever you decide to do something,
you keep pushing ahead until it happens.

Do you know how amazing that is?

I'm grateful,
but it's kind of cringy, so stop.

Should we sit down for a second
over there?

Should we?

Is everything okay at work?

Yes, of course.
Nothing ever happens there.

Civil servants do the same thing
day after day.

Is Su-a doing all right?

Yes.

You know what's amazing?

She was the top of her class again
last semester.

-Again?
-Yes.

My gosh, you must be so proud of her.

It must be tough to study
all the way in Canada by herself.

I'm really jealous of you.

Well, I'm glad she didn't take after me.

Gung-cheol.

Yes?

Actually, I…

I have a confession to make.

A confession?

You know, actually…

Actually, I…

Why, hello.

-Hello.
-Goodness.

-Hello.
-Hi.

Right!

It's your bar night!

Yes, we grabbed a drink,
then decided to chat before we go home.

Gosh, it's great to see you two together.

Right?

I also had a friend of 40 years,

but he passed away last year.

Since he passed away,

nothing I ever do is fun.

My life seems empty to death.

It doesn't seem worth--

Goodness, I'm sorry.

Have a great time.

-Yes.
-Goodbye.

-My gosh.
-Bye.

So what's your confession?

It's nothing.

What do you mean? Come on, shoot.

Tell me.

I forgot.

-Seriously? Hey.
-Stop it.

-Are you kidding me? I'm going in.
-I'm serious.

I'm going in.

-I'm going in.
-That hurts.

-Come here.
-I seriously forgot.

I'll tell you when I remember.

Man, you punk. Seriously.

My gosh.

Are you all right?

-Are you?
-Let me go. Man.

Goodness.

You're so silly.

I'm leaving.

Gung-cheol.

Did you remember?

Tell Jeong-hae I said happy birthday.

All right, you punk.

-Bye. See you on Sunday.
-Go.

Goodness, you punk.

Bye, Man-sik.

Bye.

Goodness.

I'm sorry.

Did I wake you?

You're late.

I am.

It's my night out with the boys.

We have to send Su-a's tuition
by the end of this month.

Right.

Is it already that time?

All right.

Honey.

Why don't we

have a drink?

Have you ever seen me drink alcohol?

Take a shower and go to sleep.

Okay. I will.

Myeong-suk,

you should try reaching out first.

Dad!

Why is she so drunk?

I thought she was staying out tonight.
Gosh, she reeks of alcohol.

She had a drink with Chun-ja
after hiking at Mount Bukhan.

Why did she go to Mount Bukhan?
Wasn't it hot springs?

I have no idea. She was
already like this when she called me.

-Will you put me down?
-Anyway,

I've done my part.
You take care of her now, okay?

Okay. Oh, goodness.

Great job, my son.

-Great job, Hyeong-u.
-I'm glad you know.

-You need to go in and sleep.
-There's my eldest son.

Come here. Kiss me.

I missed you to death all day long.

Let's grab one more drink
now that we're home.

You're completely wasted. Stop drinking.

-Go in and sleep.
-Just one more drink.

Can't you let me have one?

Hey, come on. Another drink.

I'll give you two huge bills as a tip.

No? Okay, fine. Four huge ones.

Come on. Why can't you let me
have one more?

Honey, are you asleep?

Honey.

Honey.

So? You're going to learn
to play golf in just a month?

I'll just learn how to pretend.

Is that greasy coach still around?

He quit.

I'm guessing he got fired.

The new coach is pretty hot.

But he's not that friendly,
unlike kids these days.

How can I put this?

He's very defensive.

He seems young,

but it looked like he had deep wounds.

So? Did that wounded young man
capture your heart?

If he captures anything,
it'd be my body, not my heart.

Nam Jeong-hae.

Are you provoking me?

Did the celebration go well?

Of course, it did.

Did you have fun at the escort club?

Of course, I did.

Look at how honest she is.

I thought you went there for business,
not to have fun.

I have to enjoy it myself for real
to keep others entertained as well.

-Isn't that professionalism?
-Sure, of course.

Ms. Professional, Nam Jeong-hae.
Did you achieve your goal

by enjoying your time there?

I'm not sure. I'll have to see.

It was fun,

but none of them were better than you.

Really?

It's honestly pretty tough
to find a guy who looks like me.

I may be a little old,

but try to find a guy
who has a better proportion

between my upper and lower body than me.

That's exactly why
my nickname was the Golden Ratio.

You're right.
I tried hard to find one, but I couldn't.

Man-sik even said he admires me.
He admires me!

Do you know how awesome it is
to get that from a friend?

Yes, you are awfully

awesome.

-Really?
-Let's go to sleep.

In that case,

while we're on that topic,

should we get it on?

It's all right.

-Ms. Jeong-hae.
-What?

Jeong-hae!

Jeong-hae!

What?

-No, stop!
-Jeong-hae.

Wait, one second!

I can't.

Tomorrow is Jeong-hae's birthday.

MESSAGE FROM 010-0884-3510
SLIDE SHOW, ATTACHMENT

PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRY, NAM JEONG-HAE

Good morning.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Is it good?

That's not the right face.
How many times do I have to say it?

Look. Look at the direction.

"Eat quickly and deliciously
as if you're starving." It's right here.

That's not the face of someone starving.
It looks disgusting.

How can I act like I'm starving
if I'm not hungry?

You're driving me insane.

Ae-ra, you just made love

very passionately. Then you'd be hungry.

Exactly. Why do I have to be hungry?

How many times do I have to tell you

that I'm a type who savors the feeling
after making love passionately?

She's driving me insane.

Why are you bringing
your style into this, you brat?

Just follow my directions.

Director Cho, did you just call me a brat?

I guess you're not aware,

but I didn't want to be in this film.
I'm doing it for Mr. Jung, who begged me.

And you called me a brat?

How dare you call me a brat?

Damn it. Hey, don't do it.

Get lost, you brat.

I don't want to film this
with a brat like you.

Get lost, you wench!

What? "You wench"?
Is that all you can say, you jerk?

"You jerk"? Are you crazy?

Yes, that's all I can say.
I'm done. So what?

I'm not doing this!

How dare you hit me?
You don't get to quit.

-I'm not doing this.
-No, I quit!

-Are you an actress? Are you?
-An actress?

-You're full of shit.
-I can't believe it.

Are you an actress?

Are you the doctor?

How dare you give him surgery?

I'm not sure why you're here,
but please let me go, then we'll talk.

What are you doing?

Let him go first. Let's talk.

Dr. Jeong didn't do anything wrong.

Let me go!

Of course, he's at fault!

I mean, he's already crazy about women.

So how can you make his thing
bigger than it already was?

Do you want me to become a widow? Do you?

Let go of him!

Let me go!

This clinic is over! I'll shut it down!

Her bag. Take her bag.

I'll shut you down!

It's over!

I can't believe this.

You should take a look at this too.

It's not too bad.

It's great. It has great features.

-Yes.
-The body looks beautiful.

-Yes, sir.
-But you know,

do you have anything
more stylish and bubbly than these?

A car that makes me feel jolly
just by looking at it,

like my babe.

Right, we do have a few newer models
on the rooftop of this building.

Why are you telling me that now?

You should've taken me there first.

-Yes.
-Hey. Is this your first day at work?

-Is it?
-I'm sorry, sir.

If you give me a second,
I'll pick up the keys and run over.

My goodness. What happened?

What happened to him?

He felt like he was too indebted to you.

He wanted to learn to fry chicken
as soon as possible,

then got hurt while practicing all night.

I'm too ashamed to face you.

My goodness.

CHUN MAN-SIK, CITY OF HAJEONG

I mean,

it's not like
I told you to steal from them.

Did I tell you to go rob them?

I'm telling you to go collect
something they owe anyway!

What do you expect me to do
if you can't do that?

Gosh, darn it!

I'm too furious to keep working like this!

That's the life of most men
in their midlife.

They live more fiercely than anyone,

but they often feel defeated,
not accomplished.

And that sense of defeat
soon turns into shame.

Their wives are usually the one
who gives him energy in such times.

No.

It has to be their wives.

Myeong-suk,

are you the type

who shows Man-sik support
when he's having a tough time?

Or are you the type
who pretends like you don't know?

Or

do you

not have any interest in what he's doing?

My gosh.

Hop in.

Look at you.

Do you work tomorrow?

Yes.

You should try to take the weekends off.

Many of my patients can
only make it on the weekends.

I'm worried you'll become a patient
while treating your patients.

How long will it take to get home?

I'm not sure.
At this rate, about half an hour, I think.

If you're tired,
close your eyes and get some sleep.

Yes, I should do that.

Wake me up when we get home.

Okay.

It's a rainy Friday night.

A Friday night that brings back
faint memories into our hearts.

I'm sure many of you think
of your first love on a day like this.

Let me play a song
that will touch the hearts of men

in their midlife.

While I was dreaming of a happy life

as I looked at my sleeping wife,

my friend

was dying in agony

as he kept a secret
more hideous than death.

Perhaps that's why

the rain smelled stronger on that day
than any other day.

Life and death coexisted on that day

and reeked of their smell.

And after, my life that was once solid

began to crack little by little.

-Fly, fly, Phoenix!
-Fly, fly, Phoenix!

-Fly!
-Fly!

-Fly!
-Fly!

-Phoenix!
-Phoenix!

-Attack!
-Attack!

No.

My life may had already begun to crack

back in college,

-when I met Jeong-hae for the first time.
-Come this way, please.

You won't regret it.

Thank you.

-Go over there and give it out.
-I did.

-Hey.
-Stop following me.

Hi. Hello.

Hello, are you a freshman?

-Hello.
-Hey! Stop right there.

Hello, are you a freshman?

We're a theater club called Phoenix.

Are you interested in theater arts--

Hey, wait.

Why don't…

you join our theater club?

Forget all of your agonies,

and follow the dreams of youthful days.

You won't regret it.

Please come.

I'll wait for you.

-Phoenix.
-Phoenix.

-Phoenix.
-Phoenix.

-Phoenix.
-Phoenix.

-Phoenix.
-Phoenix.

-Okay, she's coming.
-They're coming.

We're a theater club called Phoenix.

Are you interested in theater arts?

What's this?

"Phoenix"? It's a theater club.

-You're here.
-Let's join this club.

I don't want to.
You can do it by yourself.

No way. We have to do it together.

There must be a lot of hot guys.

-Phoenix.
-Phoenix.

-Phoenix.
-Phoenix.

The game begins now!

Ji-yeong, two.

Ji-yeong, Ji-yeong.

Hyeong-u, three.

Hyeong-u, Hyeong-u, Hyeong-u.

-Chun-bok, four.
-Chun-bok, Chun-bok, Chun-bok, Chun-bok.

Gung-cheol, two.

Gung-cheol, Gung-cheol.

-Jeong-hae, three.
-Jeong-hae, Jeong-hae, Jeong-hae.

Jae-hoon, one.

Jae-hoon.

Man-sik, two.

Man-sik, Man-sik.

Hae-suk, four.

-Drink!
-Drink!

-Drink!
-Drink!

-Drink!
-Drink!

-Who wants to drink this for me?
-Me!

-Over here!
-Me!

-Me!
-I'll do it!

-I want to do it! I have to!
-I haven't had enough to drink!

-I need another drink.
-Me!

-It's me.
-Choose me.

-Me? Okay.
-She's coming.

-It's not you. It's me.
-It's me.

Gung-cheol, you can drink it.

What?

-Gosh.
-Gung-cheol.

-Darn it.
-My gosh.

What are you doing? Drink it.

Is he going to drink it?

He's chugging it down.

Give him a hand!

-Nice job!
-Nice!

-Make a wish.
-Make a wish.

My wish is…

If I told you to live your life
on his behalf…

That would be a cliché, right?

This taught me a huge lesson.
I'll never live like Man-sik did.

What exactly will you do differently then?

It's been a while, Nam Jeong-hae.

How did you know to come here?

Isn't that Hae-suk?

Hae-suk…

I'm going to find out…

what he's been doing behind my back

and who he's been doing it with.

Gung-cheol.

Why do you think I came back?
