Original subtitles

Wasn't it red before?

Miss, it seems like you haven't been here for a long time.

The color has been changed for a long time. Don't you know?

I didn't know.

The old red was better looking...

It's hot...

Oh my, why did you come back?

Today is dad's memorial day.

You've never come back on this day before.

What happened to you in Seoul?

Nothing, just wanted to come back.

Mom, this is for you.

Good girl, give me a hug.

It's not necessary.

Alright, have a seat. You haven't eaten, have you?

You should clear out what you don't need.

Why does it seem to be more and more?

I've thrown away a lot, there's nothing much left to throw.

If you're hungry, you can eat what's on the table.

Are you hosting a banquet? Who are you cooking so much for?

It's not that much.

You like persimmons, right? This variety is expensive.

Not me, it's Hye-jin sister.

I like red persimmons.

Is that so?

Try the bread I bought. This shop is very famous.

It looks like bread.

I'll eat it later.

But what exactly happened to you?

Did you take leave from work?

Yes, I needed a break.

Good, welcome back.

- Where's Sister Hye-jin? - She's at work.

- And Hye-joo? - She's at school.

Is Hye-jin still dating Audi guy?

Who's Audi guy?

The guy who drives a dark blue luxury car.

He also gave me a graduation gift.

Him? They probably broke up. Haven't seen him around lately.

You can use this to accessorize.

Your neck looks beautiful. Anything looks good on it.

Or you can tie it here.

Looks beautiful, right?

Since you're a regular, I'll give you a discount.

There.

As the message said, 3-month course students get a 20% discount.

Okay, wait a moment.

So when are you going back?

Not sure, probably in a week.

A week?

The company actually gave you such a long break?

Working an Television is nice.

Do you often see celebrities?

No, I work in the educational program department.

Is that so?

But why did you come back to Busan during your leave?

No reason. What's the matter?

There's more to do in Seoul. Why come back?

I said there's no reason.

She was just asking.

Why are you getting angry as soon as you're back?

That's enough. How can you argue in front of dad?

Don't argue in front of the memorial altar.

Stand up.

Kneel down and Pray.

Mom, we forgot to put dad's picture.

Oh no, I'm sorry, forgive me.

- I'll go get it. - Dad, sorry.

I've been so forgetful lately.

You should've called your uncle.

I can drive my taxi to pick you up.

Have you seen my finger?

I injured it when your dad and I were on a boat.

My brother is really struggling, he's been through a lot...

Uncle, it's already late.

I've prepared your favorite seaweed, sea cucumber, and side dishes.

You should treat your mom better.

She's really been through a lot, you know?

Let's not talk about it anymore.

They still have work and school tomorrow.

You've really been through a lot...

I'm leaving!

- Goodbye. - Take care on the road.

I hope he doesn't come again.

How much did he give for the offering this time?

Probably still 50,000 Korean won.

50,000? That's pitifully little.

At least he's not asking us for money lately.

He took grandpa's inheritance and still tries to take advantage of us.

- He's lonely with nowhere to go. - That's not true.

- This isn't his home. - Let's not talk about it anymore.

Tidy up and go to bed.

Manager, they're here again!

They're looking over here.

Do they want to come in?

Even if they do, they won't buy anything.

You never know. We're not a boutique.

Welcome.

Hello.

Hello.

Do you speak English?

This is a newly released style.

First customer.

You can have a 10% discount.

Okay, let me try it on for you.

There are many pockets inside the bag.

What are you doing?

Sorry, sorry...

I want to show it to my sister.

- Sorry, I misunderstood. - It's okay.

Thank you

Peter!

I'll come again next time.

Sorry again.

How long have you been coming here to learn? What are you doing?

Your brother has already opened another shop in Seoul.

I see.

I'll go back immediately.

I've met all the performance targets as per your request,

plus my basic salary... wait a moment.

What about the group performance?

Don't we need to count that?

- Group performance? - Yes.

The manager also needs to meet the average group performance.

What about last week's discussion about adjusting the annual salary?

To meet your requirements, you need to work six days a week.

- Work six days a week? - Yes.

This is too much...

No, I can't do it.

It's my lunch time now, I'm leaving.

- You're a good dancer. - Really?

I think this time it should work.

Looks great.

I'll upload this one.

- I want to eat bread, do you want a bite? - No, thanks.

- Then I'll eat it myself. - Go ahead.

- When is the deadline for the competition registration? - Let me check.

- Forget it, just give me a like first. - Okay, I'll be the first to like it.

Hey, look.

- Wow. - That's amazing.

- So lucky. - Really?

How did he know?

- You asked him about the course, right? - Yes.

He has really good taste in clothing.

Stop laughing, you look silly.

After the competition, ask my sister to take us around Seoul.

- That would be great. - Exactly.

- Seoul, here I come! - So excited.

That's enough.

Just need to add a bit more soy sauce.

Auntie, you already added soy sauce earlier.

- Did I? - Yes.

The taste is just right, just add a bit of sesame oil.

Okay, sorry about that.

You can't take the leftover food home again.

If you get caught, I'll be in trouble.

Okay.

Why are you smiling all the time?

You're happy that your daughter came back from Seoul, right?

Of course, I'm happy.

- She said to add sesame oil, right? - Here you go.

Smells so good. Aren't you going to the hospital to see your mom today?

- Yong-shan will go instead of me. - I see.

How come she hasn't thrown these away yet...

- Your aunt is here. - Hello, auntie.

Look who's here? Come here, let me give you a hug.

How have you been?

I've been good. You've become prettier since you went to Seoul.

I've been doing well too.

Being healthy is the most important thing.

Hwa-Ja, did you bring the leftovers home again?

You still haven't changed your bad habit. Can you finish all of it?

I can. The food is still good. It's wasteful to throw it away.

Hye-young, is your work going smoothly?

It's alright...

That's good. You're really amazing.

Earning money by doing things you want to do isn't easy.

I can tell. You've always been passionate since you were little.

No, not really...

Country kids making it big. Your mom must be very proud.

Not everyone can be a TV producer.

Did you go to Seoul to study literature or something artsy...

It's creative writing.

Exactly, your mom was so scared, she was so worried.

Mom is always like that.

Hearing that you're at the TV station, of course they think you're a producer.

You've been writing for years, finally found a job.

If I say you're writing scripts, they'll look down on you.

This is even worse!

Where are you going?

What's going on...

What's wrong? I'm really worried about you.

Did you go back to your hometown?

Yeah, um... I haven't received my salary yet...

The restructuring is a bit chaotic. It should be settled by the end of the year.

I see...

Did you have a fight with Ki-seok?

Did he call you?

No... so, are you going to keep writing?

No, I won't.

Okay, I won't ask anymore. How long are you staying?

I'll be back soon.

If you're staying for a while... do you know about the job opening at Jaehyuk?

It seems like he's hiring and the salary is good.

I already said I'll be back soon.

Okay then...

If Ki-seok calls you, don't tell him I'm here.

Okay, goodbye.

Mom used to do this too, saying I worked at a boutique.

Did I?

Yes, you two had a big fight because of it.

Do you remember?

This isn't a serious lie...

Mom, a lie is a lie.

Why hasn't Hye-young come back yet? You should call her.

No need. She'll come back on her own.

You don't need to worry about her. She doesn't care about us anyway.

She must have had a tough time in Seoul.

What's so great about living in Seoul?

It's just part of leaving home and making it big.

You lied for no reason.

Yeah.

She's always been clever since she was little. She'll figure things out on her own.

Got it. Take a rest here for a while.

Yeongdo has changed a lot too.

When we were kids, there was only one Yeongdo Bridge.

Remember when we used to take the raft to the market?

Of course, how could I forget?

The scenery here is very similar to what I saw when I lived in

If it weren't for the new buildings and bridges...

You helped me a lot back then. I couldn't even speak.

Being called a devil, being bullied...

Why are you bringing this up suddenly? We need to deliver the lunch boxes.

Right, sorry...

Sorry for what? You used to apologize all the time when you were little.

Yeah, let's go.

Grandma, the lunch boxes are here.

Hello.

Why are you only coming now? I'm starving!

It's tiring to come up here, so it took some time.

Sorry.

- Writer Hye Young? - Yes.

- I'm Producer Lee Jae-Hyuk. - Hello.

It's bigger than you thought, right? Please come this way.

You have extensive experience, and we'd love to work with you.

Aren't you planning to move here directly?

Because I have other jobs...

By the way, I heard you're writing novels from Yoon-soo.

But producing programs and writing novels are completely different.

How did you get into this industry?

At first, it was just research, but because I needed money...

- Money is important, right? - Yeah

So you write scripts at the company and novels at home.

Must be exhausting.

But do you have to stay in Seoul to write?

Think about it before giving me an answer.

Where are you? When are you coming back?

It'll take a while longer. What's wrong?

Nothing, don't worry about it.

Are you going to continue working here?

Yes, what's the matter?

- Don't you find it troubling? - No, not really.

forget it.

You're the one who initiated break up.

You said you've had enough of me because I said I had to stay in Busan.

You said you didn't need money.

How can I take care of your whole family?

Hey...

I'd like a bottle of wine and a bowl of udon noodles.

Kneel down on one leg, support yourself with one hand on the ground and press your leg against it.

Place your head to the right, stretch out one leg.

Like this. Can you do it?

Give it a try.

That's it.

Okay, let's pause here.

Hye-joo, raise it a bit higher.

Very good, once more.

- Miss, can I have some more pickled radish? - Sure.

I'll have two bowls of blood sausage soup rice.

Just a moment.

So-jeong!

- You can come in. - No, it's okay.

This place has become so popular.

All I can give you is this.

- You should have contacted me before coming. - Right.

Are you going to inherit this shop?

No, I'm just here to help today.

I'll open my own snack shop later.

Remember to come for the opening.

So-jeong!

Business is busy, you should go back. It's okay.

I'm coming!

Sorry, I'll call you later.

Mom.

What are you doing?

I wet myself. I couldn't hold it anymore.

Luckily, it was right at the doorstep.

How did this happen?

I couldn't find the keys at the time, then I realized they were in my hand.

I'm so clumsy, aren't I?

So clumsy, still wetting your pants at this age.

- Mom, come eat the blood sausage. - Blood sausage?

I met So-jeong. You remember her, right?

Her parents run a rice soup restaurant in the market.

So-jeong, I remember.

Did she take over the shop?

No, she said she wants to open her own.

That's great. Starting your own business is the best.

Mom, should we start a business too?

Start a business? Why do you want to start a business?

Can't we do business together? Is that bad?

No, why do you have this idea? You're not like So-jeong.

What's wrong with So-jeong? How are we different?

She didn't even go to college...

How can you look down on someone for that?

Do you really want to start a business?

Since you have nothing to do anyway, just stay at home all day.

Why not go learn something...

You think my life is boring, don't you?

Why are you misinterpreting what I mean?

Stop talking nonsense and clean up the table.

- Damn it... - What did you say?

You scared me.

Hey, what happened to your knee?

I fell during gym class.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Now that you're back, can you clean up some stuff?

The room is so small, right?

How did we manage to share a room back then?

Mom never throws things away.

- You're the one who said to keep them. - Me?

You said I couldn't throw away our childhood diaries because they'd be useful for writing.

Did I...

- Hye-yeong sister. - What's wrong?

If I come to Seoul, can I stay with you?

Looks like you're doing well.

I'll try my best. Otherwise, I'll have to run away from home.

Do you want to be like Sister Hye-jin?

- She ran away from home? - You didn't know?

When you were born,

Dad's death caused her a lot of anguish.

I didn't even know she ran away from home...

Surprising, isn't it?

But I'm not runing away from home, I'll come to stay with you.

- I won't let you stay. - You're so mean.

Anyway, I won't come back. I'm going to take a shower.

You go ahead.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to follow you.

I'm not a weirdo. My rental place is over there...

Behind the Yeongdo Police Station…

I was worried about you, so I walked behind you slowly.

Hye-jin! Hye-jin!

Hye-jin? You know my name?

I'm Peter. Peter Pavlovsky.

Peter? Peter!

Which ship do you work on?

Ship.

Ship!

A cargo ship from Siemens Shipping.

I work on the ship for several months, then spend a month on land.

My dad is also a sailor.

He's been to many countries.

We should have coins from all over the world at home.

Peter, have you traveled around the world too?

Peter?

- Yes, my name is Peter. - Peter...

I envy you.

I've never been abroad.

It's okay, no one got hurt.

You don't have to worry too much.

- Okay, sorry. - Okay.

Mom! Are you okay?

I'm fine. You don't have to come over...

I'll go wash my face.

- Are you the eldest daughter? - I'm the second daughter.

The one who works at the TV station?

You're really beautiful.

She's amazing. She can raise children without a husband.

- You must have been scared. - Yes, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Don't you think she's becoming more forgetful?

Seems like it...

It's been a long time since you saw her, so maybe you didn't notice.

- Hey? - Hey. Are you wearing my coat out?

I need to hurry out. I'll be back soon. Are you home?

Yes, I have to work in the afternoon.

It's been a week already. When are you going back?

What's wrong?

Aren't you still paying rent?

I'll handle it myself.

Alright.

Give some pocket money to mom and Hye-joo. Goodbye.

Is she crazy...

Lee Hwa-sook's family...

Hye-yeong! Hye-yeong!

I can't walk that fast right now.

Why are you walking so fast...

- Mom. - What's wrong?

- Why are you doing this? - What?

February is the beginning of the year.

The hospital wants you to get checked. Can avoiding it solve anything?

Are you too lazy to get checked? Or do you think it's a waste of money?

I heard it's a hereditary disease. Do you want to get checked?

Mom, enough!

What's wrong? Stop it!

Where do you want to go now?

Don't worry about me. You're treating me like a patient too soon.

Mom, you need to dye your hair.

- Has my workout outfit dried yet? - Workout outfit?

- I asked you to wash it for me yesterday. - Yesterday?

Why do you wash your workout outfit every day?

- It's not every day... - And it's not your responsibility to wash it either.

It's still a bit damp. Take it to school to dry.

I'm leaving. Hye-jin, let's go.

- It's been a while since we've done this, right? - Yeah.

House is getting old, and the draft is getting worse.

We should move. Aren't you tired of this island?

What is there to be tired of?

You've been living here for over 50 years.

I don't like moving all the time.

I feel like I'm going to be late.

Are you planning to keep working?

What else would I do? I'd be bored.

If you're bored, there are plenty of things to do.

Cooking at home, cooking at work, where's the fun in that?

What's wrong? Are you worried about me?

Afraid I'm going to die soon?

Don't say things like that...

I haven't had a stroke, and my limbs are healthy.

Oops, too small.

Let's put up another one.

Oh, come on...

Mom, you're not , are you?

I was born in .

Dad's Korean, mom's .

You didn't know this?

Of course, I knew, but not the details.

Why don't you tell us?

Did you ever ask me?

I couldn't say I was from when I was little.

Being found out as having blood would lead to being hated.

My dad said not to reveal it at school to avoid discrimination.

So, I don't like talking about it...

Oops, I'm really late now.

You finish the rest.

Are you not returning to Seoul because of me?

Absolutely not.

I really have to go now.

Thank you.

Sit wherever, it's fine.

Hye-jin...

What's up?

Um, that...

Did you get fired?

- I didn't mean to say this... - Then what?

Mom has been diagnosed with early-stage dementia...

Currently, it's mild cognitive impairment, not yet dangerous.

Taking medication and therapy can slow down the progression.

Okay, I understand.

Is that it?

What's wrong?

There's nothing we can do now,

but we should take her to the hospital and make various preparations.

Okay.

You take good care of her now

and make sure she receives proper treatment.

We can send her to a good nursing home in the future.

You're sending her to a nursing home instead of hiring a caregiver?

You don't understand anything and just come here to complain.

A caregiver? If the caregiver isn't around, who will take care of her?

You? Or are you going to ask Hye-joo to take care of her?

Have you even considered these things? I'm sure you haven't.

What do you expect us to do after you return to Seoul?

Just worrying without offering any help is useless, understand?

How could you suddenly come to see me?

You should've waited a little longer...

If I had waited, would you have told me?

You didn't even congratulate me.

Did you come here just to hear that?

Why do you have to be so extreme?

You're the one who disappeared without a word.

My current situation isn't suitable for discussing this...

What's wrong?

Tell me.

We've been living together for 3 years,

but I really don't know what you're thinking.

If I told you...

Would you understand me?

Is that why you didn't tell me?

Maybe I just don't have feelings for you anymore.

Lee Hwajoo!

She might not like taking medicine, but make sure she takes it.

Make sure she exercises and does memory training.

- You're here? - Hello.

Why did you bring so much stuff?

It's nothing. This is for you. Red bean porridge for your mom.

I also filled the water purifier.

Thank you, my friend.

- I'll go wash the fruits. - Let me do it.

It's okay. I know this place better than you.

- Has your mom had the check-up? - Yes.

What did the hospital say?

She needs to take medication properly and undergo memory training.

Okay. She must be happy to have you with her.

Talk to your mom more. She won't say unless you ask her.

I will.

You're like that too, aren't you?

Too concerned about others, not willing to speak your mind.

You should ask her more questions.

- You know she's from , right? - I know.

Ask her to tell you everything. It's a rare opportunity.

When did you become friends with my mom?

It was in fourth or fifth grade.

She transferred to our school, but she wouldn't answer any questions.

We didn't even know she was from at first.

One day, I ran into her in front of the post office.

She was just standing there quietly.

I was curious about what she was doing.

It turned out she had written a letter to her mom in ,

but she couldn't speak Korean, and the address was written in .

She was too scared to go in, so she just stood there.

I helped her then, and we became friends.

- Do you need salt? - Yes, it'll make it sweeter.

I think only our family loves red bean so much.

Seems like it.

We've been eating it since we were kids, so we never realized.

I ate a lot of red beans when I was a kid too.

has a lot of snacks made from red beans.

So, I always wished for plenty of red bean filling.

Have you ever been back to since you left?

No, I can't go back.

Why not?

Why? Just can't.

It's been a long time since then.

I don't know. Just been like this.

So, why?

Just accept that answer. Why keep asking?

I'm not prying. I just thought you might want to go back.

Enough. Stop poking. It'll ruin the taste.

What do you need? Let me help you.

Oops, you should go out. It's dangerous.

Such a waste. This was brought back by your dad from a business trip.

How old is this? Just throw it away!

Mom, you're not even throwing this away?

Mind your own business. I'll handle it.

Anyone need to modify data?

No? Then submit the application.

So excited! It's my first time going to Seoul.

You need to pay the accommodation fee and registration fee first.

Give it to me by next week.

- I suddenly feel nervous. - Me too.

- Let's go play together. - I've already looked it up.

- I've made a list too. Want to share it? - Sure.

Why haven't you gone back yet?

Yeah, I want to finish my homework before I leave.

I can't focus at home.

Aren't you going home yet?

I usually come home very late, anyway, there's no one at home.

My house is always bustling.

Your family must discuss your dancing often, right?

What? They don't know. If they find out...

Are you studying so hard to avoid being found out?

They'd be really worried if they found out.

Before, my second sister wanted to be a writer, but she was scolded by our mother and older sister.

so I can't cause any trouble.

That's completely opposite to me.

Even if I were a thief, my family wouldn't care.

What?

You've stolen something?

No, just kidding.

You scared me.

My company... colleagues... often come... here...

It feels like I'm traveling abroad. It's so weird.

Hye-jin, is he bullying you? Your boss's... son.

He... kind of?

Tell me.

I have many friends from all over the world.

What do they want?

Don't worry, I can handle it myself.

Hye-jin, why do you live in Korea?

I mean... why do you live here?

Because... I was born here?

Living in Korea has many advantages,

but also many disadvantages.

Korea is too expensive!

That's true, but it's not my choice.

Why not? You can choose!

Okay, then I'll find a place where I can make big money.

You said you were good at it.

Hye-jin, sis...

Yes?

Mom is taking her medicine properly.

Nothing has happened.

That's great.

It's been so long since we toke a ride together.

We used to ride together for trips.

Do you remember?

Hye-joo was still young back then. We used to be so happy.

This is a joyous occasion, and the weather is also very good.

Yeah... Did she leave a will?

If I die, absolutely no funeral.

I must be cremated. Got it?

Do you think it's a wedding? Just keep it simple?

Although I don't have much inheritance.

But it should be divided equally. I know you would do this.

You can talk about this kind of thing, but not about being sick?

- Are you very disappointed...? - No, I feel relieved.

I finally got rid of the responsibility of being the eldest daughter.

Hye-jin... Hye-joo hasn't graduated yet...

Let's not talk about it. Do you think I would run away?

Are you really planning to go to Seoul?

- Yes. What's wrong? - What are you planning to do?

I've made plans. I'll tell you when it's successful.

- Where's Hye-jin, sis? - She went to work.

Isn't she off today?

It seems like her shift changed...

Right, she said she had to work an extra day.

Is this you?

Yes, aren't my legs beautiful?

Look at this one. I'm going to give it to Aunt Shuko.

The doctor said looking at photos helps with memory training.

Do you remember this time?

It was taken on your birthday at the zoo. Hye-joo almost got lost.

Of course, I remember. That's easy.

Exactly.

Do you have any childhood photos?

I probably don't. You can look.

Mom, what's this?

It's a letter from your grandmother...

So, the photos in the book are also of your grandmother?

Yes...

Your grandfather went to to earn money.

He met your grandmother and I was born.

She was kicked out of her family for marrying a Korean,

so my dad had a hard time.

Maybe that's why he wanted to go back to his hometown.

He took me on a smuggling boat to Korea in the middle of the night.

He didn't tell my mom.

Maybe he didn't realize he couldn't go back.

He always wanted to go back, but it's difficult to make a living here.

But how did we get to this topic?

This letter...

Yes, your grandmother wrote a letter to me.

But after 10 years, no more letters came.

I don't know what happened after that.

I can't know if she's still alive...

You try reading.

I can't. I've already forgotten.

- Give it a try. - I say I've forgotten.

You still awake?

Do you know what this is?

I know. It's a letter from Grandma.

Am I the only one who doesn't know?

I didn't know when I was a kid either.

She only told me after you moved to Seoul and went to high school with Hye-joo.

The translation is a mess.

Can't Mom understand it?

No, she says she's forgotten everything.

But the address on this photo is a psychiatric hospital.

A psychiatric hospital?

I'm not sure...

Is this a name?

Look.

Hanako.

Hanako?

The sentence is simple, but it uses a lot of Chinese characters.

Is it difficult?

With a dictionary, it should be translatable. The content isn't difficult.

I helped him a lot before. He'll take care of it.

Hwa-Ja, I'm thinking about moving.

My husband and I discussed it. We want to move closer to the kids' place.

It's better to live closer.

You'll feel more comfortable too.

Will the ghost of Yeongdo curse you for leaving?

I've lived here for over 60 years. It should spare me.

I hope so.

I heard that if you've settled for over 10 years, it's fine.

Right? He'll definitely spare me.

Yes, even if he curses everyone else, he won't curse you.

- Right? - No matter how vicious he is.

I've lived here for over 60 years.

He can't curse you. Otherwise, I won't spare him.

From here, you can see the entire ocean.

This is the southernmost point, so you can only see the sea.

My mom loves to see the sea. She used to bring me here often.

This is my favorite place.

Do boats always float like that on the sea?

Seems like it.

I've never been on a boat.

Do you want to go on a boat ride with me then?

This is Hye-young... kindergarten picnic day...

Hye-joo's middle school graduation ceremony...

Hye-young couldn't come, so Hye-jin and I went together...

The day before Hye-young returned to Seoul...

The sashimi restaurant next to the bus stop...

Before Hye-young returned to Seoul, the sashimi restaurant...

Wait for me here.

mom!

Mom what are you doing?

Are you okay? What are you looking for?

That... written on a piece of paper...

What?

That thing. Something I wrote for someone else.

A letter?

Yes, it's gone. I clearly put it in the jar.

Let's look for it together.

How did you end up bringing people to a place like this for a business trip?

You asked me to take you to the most characteristic place of Yeongdo.

Oh, come on.

But I'm really sorry. I couldn't help.

It's okay. You're not anyway.

Just thought you have a wide network, maybe you could help.

Are you writing?

Take a rest and come back soon.

Avoiding can't solve the problem.

You can try internet novels. There are many good works there.

Anyway, you need to get back to your own work quickly.

If you have financial problems, you can tell me.

- Do you want a drink? - No, it's okay.

Who's in there?

Who are you guys?

Are you still not going to speak up?

It's okay, it's okay.

That guy ran away...

Damn it, I was really scared.

Aren't you going to admit your mistake?

Jang Hye-joo.

Sorry...

- Still not going to apologize properly? - Hurry up and apologize.

Do you think I did it on purpose?

I almost drowned.

Is that piece of paper more important than me?

Do you know what that is?

Do you think that's the only issue?

Stealing money and hiding your dancing lessons from us.

So what?

You do whatever you want!

Why can't I?

I'm tired of tiptoeing around Mom and you guys!

Hey, how am I like you?

How are you not like her? I think you're exactly the same.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid of being unemployed and having no achievements to show?

You don't know anything. Don't speak nonsense.

I don't know?

Isn't it embarrassing to come back and freeload without doing anything?

Is it that difficult just to take care of Mom?

And what about you?

Is it impressive to bring home that little money?

Do you think money isn't important?

Is that so?

Do you think you're so great?

Selfish woman.

You've always lived however you wanted.

Now you pretend to care about the family.

Who said to send Mom to a nursing home?

I have always been here for you two...

Do you think only you suffer and sacrifice?

That's just your wishful thinking, just like Mom.

Did anyone ask you to do this?

Are you crazy?

Your temper is just like Dad's.

- Hey - What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

- Why did you hit me? - To wake you up!

Mom! Didn't I tell you to throw these away?

Anyway, you won't remember what's inside.

Mom what are you doing?

When you like something, you want to touch it with your own hands.

That's what these things mean to me.

Because memories are intangible...

So I don't need them anymore. I don't remember anyway.

I won't interfere in your life anymore.

Whether you want to write or start a business, it's up to you.

Hurry up, Go live your life.

I've always believed no news is good news.

I hope the yukata I sent you last time arrived safely.

You should have grown a lot during this time.

I hope it fits you.

I've been trying to come to Korea, but it's not easy.

Hopefully, next time, I'll be able to tell you I'm coming.

Note: I sent you the spinning top you played with.

This seems to be a recipe.

I know Korea also has red beans.

If it's too mushy, the texture won't be good. Pay attention.

Be careful as it will taste bad if it is mashed too much.

This seems to be written by someone else.

That's right.

It says it's written by the attending physician.

There are numbers here. Look.

And here too.

But the page numbers are not continuous. It seems like some pages are missing.

Did Mom put them somewhere else?

Hanako...

Grandma, hello.

How can young people lose energy so quickly?

I know, right?

This road is really steep.

Grandma, how long have you been here?

I've been living here since I came from North Korea.

What's wrong?

You came from a faraway place too.

Where are you from?

Also from a faraway place.

I can never go back. Are you from farther away than me?

I... want to go to Korea.

This train will soon arrive at Station.

Passengers getting off, please prepare in advance. Thank you.

Mom, do you want something to eat?

Excuse me.

This...

Golden Kintsuba...

- Golden Kintsuba? - Yes.

300 yen.

Thank you.

Hospital...

Is there something wrong?

Um...

Please, go ahead.

Please, go ahead.

Um...

I am... Hanako Yamamoto.

My mom is admitted to this hospital.

What's her name?

Masako Yamamoto.

Her name is Masako Yamamoto.

This is my mother's name.

This is what the doctor wrote for me.

Do you know when she was admitted? We couldn't find any records.

Here... should have it...

She was admitted here after she sent me to Korea...

Ms. Hanako, we found your mother.

She left the hospital last night to find you.

Luckily, the police found her on the road in front of the hospital.

She wanted to reunite with you before her memory fades away.

Please wait a moment.

Because it's been too long, there are no records.

It seems we have no other way to help you...

Mom!

- Are you having fun? - visiting foreign country is really fun.

That's great. What about Peter?

He went straight to . We agreed to meet there next time.

Did Uncle only send 50,000 Korean won this time too?

Yeah, people don't change easily.

Got it. I'll be back on time.

Okay. Take care on the way.

goodbye.

Hye-joo, what's wrong?

Can I just put Kimchi directly into the refrigerator?

Yes, the white bag contains the pickled ones this time.

If you want it to ripen quickly, leave it in a cool place for a few days.

- I know you like them sour. - Okay, got it.

Hye-young, is it true that you can't see the sea from Seoul?

Of course not.

Really?

I never thought about it.

It feels strange not to see the sea.

Only countless pains remain by my side.

3, 4!

I have nowhere to pour out my heart.

Only the lonely moon hangs high.

Hye-young, come try this.

Okay, I'll be right there.

It's delicious.

My hands are dirty, can you check for me?

Oh my, it must hurt a lot. Is she okay?

They wear protective gear. Don't worry.

She's very brave, isn't she?

But Hye-young...

Where was this photo taken?

You said you wanted to see Grandma, so we went together.

Oh yeah.

Hye-jin, me, you, and Hye-joo.

We took the train and then the bus.

Right, I forgot.

The weather was really nice at the time.

We all said the trees were beautiful.

Yes, you even bought cookies on the train there.

- Yes, red bean flavor. - Red bean flavor.
