Gosh.
(Script for a miniseries, "On the Floor")
What?
Oh Min Hee.
You're up.
My goodness.
I always wondered, but I suppose In Seo takes after you.
Maybe it runs in the Geum family.
Getting hiccups when you're startled.
No, I never get hiccups.
This was the first time. I was really surprised...
because I never imagined I'd see you at my place.
Yes, you must've been surprised.
Oh, this is abalone porridge.
I have no idea when you last had a proper meal,
so I didn't make too much.
Have this for now.
I can make more if you want more.
I haven't been starving. Why would I starve?
You can even get regal dishes...
delivered right to your door these days.
Yes, that's true. Try this.
By the way, how did you get in?
I rang the doorbell a bunch of times.
I thought maybe you weren't home.
But the side dishes that I brought were heavy,
so I asked Min Hee the door code to just leave them inside.
But when I walked in, I saw that it was a mess in here.
Then I opened your study as I was cleaning,
and I was so surprised.
You seemed so ill.
You were groaning. My gosh, you were running a fever...
Right, let me check your temperature.
Goodness. What are you doing?
Just stay still.
Yes, it's much better now.
Don't fall ill when you're all alone like this.
It's sad to be alone.
Don't be ill.
You probably think that Min Hee is being too harsh.
That she's being heartless.
You're still the father of her child.
She shouldn't flat out ignore you like that.
You're tenderhearted and affectionate.
There's no reason why anyone would dislike you.
I was surprised when I saw the way she was treating you.
You don't have to say stuff like that.
Do you bad-mouth me when you're with her?
I guess I've been busted.
I'm different from Sang Baek and Sang Min.
I'm not clueless.
I know. I know that, of course.
It looks like the two of you deeply hurt each other's feelings.
That is not the case.
She's just being unreasonable,
and I'm angry.
Then Sang Gu... Try to think of it this way.
You had a small, unsharpened pencil of about this size.
You thought it wouldn't hurt, so you threw it at someone.
But the person was like, "Gosh, I'm in so much pain,"
saying she feels as though she was hit by a huge arrow.
Blood is gushing out from the wound.
So you feel wrongly accused.
It was a short, unsharpened pencil.
But if it turned into an arrow after you shot it,
and if she's in so much pain,
you should ask her if she's okay before saying anything else.
Then just say, "I didn't mean to hurt you."
Why are you lecturing me?
I'll figure it out on my own.
Must you lecture me after making just a bowl of porridge?
Sang Gu.
You did it again, just now.
You talk like this all the time, so it's not a big deal for you.
But I was hit by an arrow just now.
I brought all the food for you because I was worried about you.
And I worked hard to cook this for you.
I want you and Min Hee to patch things up.
I don't want to see you falling ill when you're alone like this,
so I brought it up carefully, and you hit me with an arrow.
I'm this hurt even though it only happens occasionally for me.
But in Min Hee's case,
she's had to put up with this for 20 years.
I'm sure her heart is torn to pieces.
I'm sure she's not okay.
You say no one's on your side,
but I am on your side. And so is Min Hee.
Stop hurting those who are on your side.
Then you'll see how many people are actually on your side.
And you'll know.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 90)
Call me "sister" from now on.
Min Hee, my sister.
Are you getting home just now?
Oh, yes.
Did you have to go somewhere today?
Yes. I had an audition.
I see.
Did it go well?
What? Gosh, must you ask?
Can't you tell it didn't go well from the look on my face?
Goodness. She's back to using honorifics.
I suppose it means she doesn't want to divorce Sang Gu after all.
I shouldn't drink ever again.
Gosh, seriously.
Honey, dinner's ready.
Come out.
It's okay. This isn't a big deal.
He can't be serious about wanting to start another business.
Yes. If I stay angry, I'll only end up turning it into a big deal.
This too shall pass.
Yes, he likes to bring it up just for the sake of it.
Why are you all walking on eggshells around me?
I feel good today.
Really? Are you in a good mood?
Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be?
Then have you thought about what I said?
About the restaurant. I want to explain the details.
Honey.
I'm really happy with how things are now.
You cook for us,
call me fondly,
and have time to chat with the kids. It's so peaceful, you know?
Right? I'm sure you're also happy Dad takes care of the housework.
The house is always clean,
and all the laundry gets done right away.
You guys need to thank him. It's a lot of work, you know.
- Yes. Thanks, Dad. - Right, thank you.
I'm sorry.
It must've been very stressful for you.
I yelled at you for quitting your job...
and kept pestering you to get a new job.
I won't do that anymore.
Honey, you should just relax and get some rest.
Rest up, okay?
In Seo, you should make dinner from now on.
I'll take over on the days when I can come home early.
Heon, Min Ah. You guys should clean the house.
- Okay. - Good.
That was such a good meal.
Thanks again, honey.
I should clean up.
Guys, what was that about?
- She's not mad at you. - No.
Isn't it a good thing?
This is why you always bombed your Korean exam.
Hey, what does this have to do with studying?
Dad, on Korean exams,
you're often given a long passage and asked to find a hidden meaning.
Based on what I heard just now, this passage...
I mean, this is what Mom was really saying.
"Honey, just stay a stay-at-home husband."
"Don't start another business. Don't even think about it!"
What? That's what she meant?
Min Ah's right. If I were to underline the key sentence...
"Rest up." Double underlines.
Correct. You're so smart, Heon.
You two are being ridiculous.
Dad.
I think they're right though.
Father.
I'm rooting for you though. I think it'll do well.
What? You really think so?
Yes. You're hardworking and charismatic.
- I believe in you. - Thanks, Heon.
Dad, I heard over 50 percent of new restaurants...
end up closing permanently within the first year.
Especially Korean restaurants. Only ten percent of them survive.
As a future business major, I think it's risky.
No. It's almost like a gamble. That's what I think.
- You think it's that risky? - Yes.
Then maybe it's not a good idea.
I mean, I am rooting for you.
- But if it goes bust again... - It won't!
If half of them end up closing, it means the other half survives.
Yes, I'm sure it won't be easy. But I'm mentally prepared.
I will get through it. I can do it.
I'll show you, okay?
And I'll persuade your mom,
no matter what.
At all costs.
Okay.
One of his secrets to success is making sure everyone...
Grandpa, is Mom not home yet?
No, not yet.
Let me try calling her.
If you're sleepy, just go to bed. I'm sure she'll be home soon.
Okay.
Good night, Grandpa.
Good night.
- Sweet dreams, Sol. - Thank you.
Hey, Da Bal. Will you be home late?
Yes, I won't be too late though.
I had to take care of a lot of things at the judo club.
What is Sol up to?
She asked me when you'd be home.
She just went to bed.
I see. Tell her not to stay up and wait for me.
You should go to bed too, Mr. Geum.
You sound down.
If you're tired, just call it a day...
and take care of the rest tomorrow. Just come home, all right?
Yes, come home soon.
Was it Da Bal? How come she's not home yet?
She'll leave work now. She said she was busy at work.
Go inside.
Wait, has it not been three minutes yet?
We've been talking for well over five minutes.
No, I'm not sick of you yet.
I'm really sleepy though.
Right, where did you say you were going tomorrow morning?
Yes, the wedding.
You go to weddings so often.
Okay, call me when you're home.
I have to go. Good night.
"Have a dream about me?" I told you not to say that line.
Okay, go to bed.
Yes, come in. Who is it?
Geu Roo.
You're getting in just now? It's late.
Well...
What is it?
What's wrong? Did you cry?
Hey, what happened?
Geu Roo.
Hey, you're making my heart pound. What happened?
Dad...
"Dad?" What do you mean?
Our dad.
He passed away.
I got a call in the afternoon, so I went there.
No one was there.
His parents passed away long ago,
and he wasn't in contact with any of his relatives.
It's just you and me, his two daughters.
I got everything ready for his funeral with the help...
of the hospital where he passed away.
No one else is coming. It'll be a one-day funeral.
Let's go. Get dressed.
What? What are you talking about?
How do you even know that he passed away?
All these years...
Don't tell me...
you stayed in touch with him all these years.
How could you do this to me?
How could you do this to me and Mom?
Since when?
When did you start meeting him behind our backs?
Did you give him money?
Did you look after him?
Why is that important now?
Let's go. No one's there now.
Why isn't it important?
Answer me.
He's our dad.
Regardless of what he did, he's still our dad!
Han Da Bal.
I don't want to wake Sol up, so I can't go downstairs.
I'm borrowing your clothes.
Mom completely cut him out of her life long ago,
so I won't tell her.
She has no reason to be there. We don't need her there.
But we have to be there since we're his children.
Don't look at me like that. This is our duty as his children!
This is why I hid it from you. I couldn't tell you!
But this, you need to know. You need to be at his funeral!
I'll tell everyone I came home late and went out again early...
because something happened to my friend.
You should come up with something too.
I'll text you the address.
Don't go! Why would you go there?
- Hello. - Hello.
I had to work late today.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I have to go. See you later.
Da Bal.
I'll give you a ride. It's getting late.
It's okay. I can just take a taxi.
You seem to be in a rush. Get in.
Thank you. Drive safely.
Mom.
- She's not there? - No.
Where did she go?
Da Bal? She called me.
She told me she left early because something came up.
- I see. - What happened?
I think something happened to her friend.
Which one? Ji Yeon? Hye Jin?
What is going on? Is someone ill?
I'm not sure. She'll probably call us soon.
It doesn't even look like she got any sleep last night.
Her pillow looks untouched.
I always see it on the floor in the morning.
I guess she put it back on the bed. Let's have breakfast.
Why didn't she wake me up and tell me she was heading out?
I'll be all grumpy when she gets home.
Gosh, I'm sure she gave you a kiss before heading out.
Hey, did you work all night again?
You look tired.
What? Oh, I stayed up late to go over a manuscript.
- I see. Let's eat. - Okay.
Ms. Kang and I have to go to work. You guys will be home today, right?
You won't leave Sol alone, right?
Of course, I have nowhere to go.
I'll be home too.
Ga Eun and I have to go somewhere because of my project.
Yes, we have to go buy some art supplies.
My gosh. Does the paint you need weigh 10kg or something?
You need help to carry it?
No, but there are things we need to discuss regarding the project.
Okay. It's nice to see you working so hard.
- I guess someone's here. - I'll get it.
Who is it?
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hi, Yi Jae. - Hello.
What's up?
I have to head out now,
but Yi Jae's dad isn't home at the moment.
Can he stay here until his dad gets home?
- Yes. - Hello, Ms. Kang.
Of course, no problem. Come on in, Yi Jae.
Where did Mr. Choi go so early? It's the weekend.
Right? I guess he's busy today.
I see.
I'm running a little late, so I should get going.
- I'll see you later, Yi Jae. - Bye.
- Get going. - Yes, thank you.
- See you. - See you.
Did you have breakfast? What did you eat?
- Hi, Yi Jae. - You can sit here.
- Come and eat. - Take a seat.
"If we go all the way there,"
"Gray Witch will see us."
"Crow, I'll go get that basket."
"Can you distract the witch?"
Come on. "Can you?"
I can't do this.
What's the problem? It's just us here.
Just read the lines out loud.
"Okay, I got this."
"You evil Gray Witch, look at me."
You're really just going to read it aloud?
Auntie Geu Roo, this story is so good.
Where are you going?
I have to step out. Auntie Min Hee will stay home with you.
Okay, see you later.
- Bye. - See you.
Geu Roo.
Dad will be happy to see you.
- First, let's go... - No.
I came here because of you.
Because I just...
couldn't leave you alone here.
Geu Roo.
(Han Joong Won, Children Han Geu Roo and Han Da Bal)
When I was 12,
Dad came to my school to see me.
He was still very stylish.
He was always so stylish, you know.
Without even realizing it,
I said "Dad" and ran into his arms.
The scent of his lotion and the stubble on his chin.
It hurt when I rubbed my face on him but I couldn't even feel it.
Then I suddenly burst into tears.
I missed Dad a lot.
I know he was bad.
He knew that his family was practically torturing Mom,
but he never did anything about it.
And he did all sorts of bad things.
I know.
Even back then, I knew all of that.
But I was still so happy to see him that I couldn't hide it.
I thought, "Oh, this means Dad hasn't completely forgotten us."
And it made me happy.
So you're saying...
you stayed in touch with him...
for over 20 years since you were 12?
And you kept it to yourself?
We only talked...
once in a while.
He said he was too ashamed to see you and Mom,
but he cared about you a lot.
In his later years, he got punished for everything he had done.
I saw him get punished.
He blew all his money on gambling and other stupid things,
and all those people around him left him.
Then he fell ill because he drank too much.
In his final days, I felt so bad that I couldn't even look at him.
He said, "I lived my life wrong."
He said he was so sorry for everything he put us through.
Whenever he came to his senses,
he begged me for forgiveness.
How could you do this?
How on earth did you keep this to yourself all those years?
I understand you couldn't tell Mom, but you should've told me.
Did you never think you should?
I knew you'd be like this,
so I didn't want to hurt you.
Are you all right?
I couldn't leave...
because I didn't know what was going on.
My dad...
My dad is here.
You're really something.
You utterly broke Mom's heart and destroyed her life.
As if that wasn't enough,
you had to put such a huge burden on that poor little thing,
and now the burden will stay with her for the rest of her life.
Happy now?
Where are all your lady friends?
And where did all your money go?
You decided to abandon your wife and kids...
just so you can philander around all your life.
Then you should've stayed proud and kept being a jerk!
So I could spit on you...
and curse at you as much as I wanted to.
What is this?
No one's here.
You're dead,
but no one is here to grieve your death.
Did you...
have to make us come here?
You had to...
make us come here and say goodbye to you?
How could you do this to us?
How could you do this to us until the end?
How could you do this...
I'm sorry, Geu Roo.
I'm so sorry. Don't cry.
- How could you... - I'm sorry.
