THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
OH TAE-SOO
FINALE
I'LL BE TAESOCRATES DISSATISFIED RATHER THAN A PIG SATISFIED
I'm surprised to see you.
I heard you were badly injured in an accident.
I was surprised too.
I thought it was an accident.
But it turns out,
it wasn't an accident.
Just like how your mistress Hwang Soo-hyun's corpse was discovered.
Are you here to--
No.
I wouldn't have bothered to come here if I was coming after you.
If a prosecutor were to leak damaging information,
your opposing party…
No.
This entire country would be bent
on taking you down.
Choi Kang-ho.
I'll be straightforward with you.
I only have one goal.
It's to catch
Chairman Song, the man who murdered my father and also attempted
to kill my mother and me.
I want you to testify against him
regarding all of his crimes and corrupt deeds
that you swept under the rug.
Then I won't disclose your crimes.
What are you talking about?
Oh Ha-young.
She's with me right now.
Her resentment and hatred for you seem quite deep.
If you refuse to testify,
then Ha-young will take the stand instead.
I'm not asking you for a favor.
I'm giving you a chance.
So what will it be?
Will you take down Song Woo-byeok with me
and become president?
Or will you side with him
and go to hell together?
THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
Goodness, you're working hard night and day.
Is our food here yet?
HOTEL CAPTAIN
Why did you put it back here?
-What are you doing? -My gosh, you startled me!
What are you doing to our food?
Give it to me!
I was just curious about
what people at the Prosecutors' Office have for a meal.
But I guess they're no different from us.
Don't tell me
you spiked our food.
Hey.
Do you think it's that easy to get drugs?
I'd rather spend that money on buying myself supplements.
I haven't slept well since you guys arrived.
Look at how haggard I am.
Can you tell?
You should just quit drinking.
Sam-sik.
By the way,
is this what people call an office romance?
What are you talking about? What romance?
The prosecutor and his investigation officer.
They're on fire!
Why are you crying?
Next, tell me what you and your dad talked about on the day of the accident.
I'm not sure about this.
What? What do you mean?
Even if I claim that he made me do it,
I have no evidence.
Then I'll end up taking all the blame.
I know I should pay for what I've done.
But I'm afraid that I may not be of any help
to Kang-ho.
You're already helping him greatly
by doing this.
He said he'll find evidence,
so let's trust him and wait.
Song Woo-byeok has ties with the prosecution and the court.
So it won't be easy to get a warrant.
If you attack him without being fully prepared,
he'll catch on to your plan.
And that'll put everyone in danger.
When will you return from the US?
If I could,
I'd love to stay and watch the World Series before coming back.
Are you saying you'll neglect the Woobyeok Beasts this season?
You're right.
I must be getting senile.
My goodness.
What a killer view.
I get to see this thanks to you.
By the way,
why are you here alone?
Did you have to do that?
I devoted my entire life
to serving you, sir.
Did you really have to try to kill me?
What are you…
Are you crying?
A grown man crying is embarrassing.
Sir, we should get going.
Hey.
If you made it out alive,
you should've fled to another country to survive.
Why would you come back here and drive a nail into your coffin?
In any case, I want to thank you.
When I heard that you were still alive,
I was hesitant about going on this business trip.
But now, I can leave at ease.
Goodbye, then.
You asked why I came alone.
Mr. Cha will hear everything you just said.
One of us
must stay alive to expose you.
You son of a bitch!
You were crying all this time,
and you start bargaining with me
when it's almost time for my flight, you bastard?
What do you want?
Tell me! You'll be dead soon enough.
Do you need a house? Or money?
Do you want me to adopt you like I did with Kang-ho?
I had the opportunity to farm thanks to you.
Interestingly enough, I reaped everything that I sowed.
You'll also reap what you've sown.
How dare you?
Die, you son of a bitch!
-Chairman Song. -What?
Kang-ho.
You're alive?
My goodness.
I don't care about anything else.
I'm completely fine as long as I have you.
I'm sorry.
But I've only just begun.
Song Woo-byeok.
You're under arrest for special assault
and attempted murder.
What are you doing?
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Kang-ho.
Will you be okay?
Please don't skip your meals.
Take him.
SO
Hello?
-Hey. -Let me talk to Choi Kang-ho.
Kang-ho?
Kang…
Hold on.
It's for you.
-Hello? -Choi Kang-ho.
Run away.
It'll be difficult to obtain an arrest warrant
for Chairman Song's past crimes.
That only leaves us with one option.
We need to catch him red-handed.
But I heard he'll be going on a business trip to the US.
When is that?
Here's the plan.
Once I get to the rooftop, I'd like for you all to accompany me
and carry out a search and seizure of Woobyeok Group. Got it?
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Now that he's back, I'm motivated to work hard.
Recently, a victim claimed to have received death threats
from Chairman Song Woo-byeok, and thus we conducted an investigation.
And yesterday at 2 p.m.,
we arrested him at the scene
at Woobyeok Group's headquarters
after he assaulted again and attempted to murder the victim.
Since the suspect attempted to destroy the victim's phone
and was due to fly out to the US,
we deemed it likely that he might try to destroy evidence and flee.
How will you carry out this investigation?
-Sir. -A civil servant
must be impartial when serving the country.
As per the Prosecutor General's words to carry out fair investigations
even against the powerful,
we will carry out an honest, transparent, and thorough investigation.
-What is the victim's current state? -Did the suspect admit to the charges?
Sir.
It's me, Oh Tae-soo.
Young-soon, hurry up. It's starting.
Coming.
When did you enter my heart
And make me fall in love?
Come on.
-You're… -My babies.
I brought you some snacks.
Sweet potatoes again.
Do you not like sweet potatoes?
Do you want mung bean pancakes?
-That's enough. -Come here.
Can we please just watch?
Is that the song that Mr. Baek wrote?
That's right.
Apparently, the song is very popular now. What was the title again?
-"Intrusion into My Heart." -That's right.
-Come here. -Goodness.
How nice!
You're blocking the TV.
This is great!
Let us watch the TV.
Hold on.
Move aside! You're blocking the TV.
-What? -What is it?
-What is that? -What is that?
Song Woo-byeok from Woobyeok Group was arrested?
What?
Chairman Song has allegedly engaged in assault and death threats
prior to this incident.
People are in an uproar after learning that there have been many victims.
Recently, a victim claimed to have received death threats
from Chairman Song Woo-byeok, and thus we conducted an investigation.
What am I looking at?
Is that Kang-ho?
Can you slap me?
It's him.
It hurts, so that must be Kang-ho.
It hurts, so that is Kang-ho!
Our son
Kang-ho is back!
Kang-ho!
That's Sam-sik's best friend,
Kang-ho!
What is this?
Why didn't you tell me?
Did you not trust me?
Answer me!
We're in-laws!
-What? -What?
-"In-laws"? -With whom?
With me!
Right, Mother?
How about
we all visit Seoul together?
-Sure! -We must!
Let's go!
Is your seat belt on?
Do you like fish?
Feel free to rest your head on this.
Move.
We could've gone by ourselves.
Why is he here?
Shut it.
If something happens to you on the way, he'll suspect me.
Easy on the brakes.
I just had them replaced.
I bought this car to drive to the award ceremony.
It fits five people perfectly.
You're right.
Gum-ja must've become a widow for this very day.
What did you say?
I'll buy a bigger car soon,
so let's go again another time.
That sounds great!
Your son is still considered a suspect.
We still have our eyes on him.
I don't want to hear it.
Just keep your eyes on the road.
Yes, ma'am.
Honey.
Are you watching from above?
The day has finally come.
Our son will carry out the judgment
that we failed to do.
Please help him stay strong.
Please help him not to doubt, falter,
or be intimidated.
Let him stay strong.
PROSECUTOR
Help him look them in the eye
and state the truth.
DEFENDANT
Just like how you did
in front of them,
please help Kang-ho
remain confident
until the end.
All rise.
With sincerity,
resentment,
and desperation…
I pray to you.
You may be seated.
Case 133 of the year 2023.
We will now begin the trial.
The assault that occurred in Jou-ri on January 20
was just a simple fight between colleagues
over their pecking order.
So Ji-seok's claim that Chairman Song Woo-byeok
ordered an assault to be carried out is completely false.
The recent incident transpired
due to Mr. So attacking Chairman Song.
And the latter
simply reacted to defend himself.
Did you just say that the victim attacked the defendant?
Are you talking about this?
Please play it.
Mr. Cha will hear everything you just said.
One of us
must stay alive to expose you.
-You son of a bitch! -What is that?
You were crying all this time,
and you start bargaining with me
when it's almost time for my flight, bastard?
I'll submit this as evidence.
I'd like to question the victim who's also the witness to that incident.
After the assault in Jou-ri, you came to me for help and claimed
that the defendant was trying to murder you. Is this correct?
Yes.
Why did he want to kill you?
Because as his trusted secretary,
I had a great deal of information about his actions.
The defendant spent about 30 years as the CEO
of Yongra Construction and Woobyeok Group.
He must've had many employees who worked closely with him,
and they must've known a lot of private information as well.
Are you telling me that they're all dead?
Yes.
Objection, Your Honor.
-It hasn't been verified-- -Right, so I verified his claim.
In the past 30 years,
the defendant had four other secretaries
who worked closely with him.
Two committed suicide and one died in a car crash.
And the last secretary's body was recently found near Jemyeon Island.
It was Hwang Soo-hyun.
Your Honor, the prosecution is referring to a case that is irrelevant to--
I'm verifying the witness' statement.
How is that irrelevant?
Prosecution.
You may continue.
That's right.
This USB was found at the defendant's office
during a search and seizure.
Do you know what it contains?
It contains confidential documents related to Woobyeok's corrupt deeds,
Chairman Song's double bookkeeping, breach of trust, and embezzlement.
It belonged to Hwang Soo-hyun.
What is he talking about?
Hwang Soo-hyun?
Could you explain this video
that was found on your secretary's laptop?
Please play it.
Don't be ridiculous.
I already know the hit-and-run accident and suicide were in the contract.
A year ago, Chairman Song ordered me to visit Yang Gu-man's wife
and retrieve his money.
Jeez.
All right. Then I'd like to ask the defendant.
According to the investigation,
Hwang Soo-hyun was last seen before her death
on October 3, 2021.
It's the same day the last video on this USB was saved.
So why was this USB found in your desk?
Look.
How would I know anything about the USB or that Mr. Yang
when he's the one who schemed everything?
So you're claiming that the victim schemed everything himself
and that you never murdered or abetted murder?
Correct.
That's a lie!
He also ordered me to kill people.
He ordered you to kill people?
Who were they?
Jung Jong-gu, the defendant in the murder case
that Chairman Song's grandson was involved in,
and Park Cheol-su, the defendant in the Woobyeok construction site case.
So did you carry out your orders?
They were both incarcerated,
so I couldn't.
I found a few odd things during this investigation.
It is the fact that
not only the defendant's secretaries but also many of those
who raised suspicions about the defendant or his company
or were involved in the trials
suddenly passed away or disappeared.
Objection, Your Honor. The prosecution is distorting the truth
solely based on the victim's claims.
Then let me summon another witness who can verify this.
Approved.
Witness, Mr. Oh Tae-soo,
please come forward.
Oh Tae-soo?
What is this?
Why is he testifying?
"I pledge this."
"I solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
and agree to receive punishment
in accordance with perjury should there be any falsehood."
"Witness, Oh Tae-soo."
If Song Woo-byeok gets arrested,
Bareun Hanguk Party, the political and business worlds, and even the media
will find fault with you.
Because everyone knows about
your secret ties with him and how far they go back.
But what if
you testify against him?
It'd be a perfect chance to dispel all the suspicions
regarding the relationship between you and him.
You have indicted Chairman Song many times
for 30 years since 1987.
-Is this true? -Correct.
However, most of these indictments were dismissed.
The majority of these cases, 13 in total, were dismissed
due to the victims' deaths.
That's correct.
Did you ever find the repeated deaths
of the plaintiffs or victims rather odd?
There was no issue in the investigation of their deaths,
and the bereaved families didn't raise any suspicion.
So I didn't find them particularly odd.
However, I found something odd
in this trial.
It is the death of Hwang Soo-hyun,
his secretary.
She worked as my secretary
from 2018 to 2020.
Then one day in 2020,
she told me that she wanted to quit.
The reason being…
that getting pregnant had put her life in danger.
Her pregnancy had put her life in danger?
Correct.
She said Chairman Song was the father.
If you do this,
all the disgusting work
that I forced myself to put up with will go to waste.
I was even willing to serve time in jail
to make you become president,
you son of a bitch!
Defendant, please sit down!
How is that baby mine?
As if killing that poor baby wasn't enough,
are you trying to turn him into a bastard now?
You even plotted
to kill Choi Kang-ho with your daughter!
-You son of a bitch! -Defendant!
-How dare you utter such nonsense? -Please calm down!
You son of a bitch! I'm not going down.
No, not yet, honey.
If I waver right now, our son will waver as well.
Everything he's done up to now will be ruined.
Please, honey.
Keep me here for a little longer.
Please…
Just a little longer.
Sit down!
-Sir. Please. -I ought to kill you.
Damn it!
It's true.
I slipped
Prosecutor Choi Kang-ho sleeping pills.
We will accept the prosecutor's request.
We believe verifying the facts is of the utmost importance.
You may cross-examine the two witnesses.
I was deceived into believing that Prosecutor Choi, my then fiancée,
had another woman and a baby.
And that he even killed them
so he could marry me.
Who told you that?
It was my father,
Assemblyman Oh Tae-soo.
It's all my fault.
I've been threatened by Chairman Song ever since I decided to run for president.
He wanted me to protect his corrupt company
and himself.
When I refused, he attempted to use my daughter
to get rid of Prosecutor Choi.
Why did Chairman Song want me dead?
That's because 35 years ago, Chairman Song
murdered Prosecutor Choi's father.
Is that true?
Simply put,
there were two people Chairman Song needed to get rid of.
Hwang Soo-hyun, his mistress,
and Choi Kang-ho, Choi Hae-sik's son.
That's why he killed her
and framed Prosecutor Choi for it.
And after that, he ordered my daughter to kill Prosecutor Choi.
Stop lying.
It was you who wanted him dead.
It was also you who killed Hwang Soo-hyun and her baby.
They were your mistress and son.
I saw the DNA test result
with my own eyes.
This is my daughter's medical record from the mental hospital.
That's right.
My daughter isn't sane.
I've been hiding it
in fear that my dear daughter would get caught in political mudslinging.
Dad!
Dad.
What happened to you?
Who made you like this?
Dad.
It's me.
It's me, Ha-young.
I'm Oh Ha-young, your beloved daughter.
I'm so scared right now.
I'm in so much pain.
Dad.
Can you please stop here?
I beg you.
Please come back, Dad.
Please?
Let's stop here.
Please?
Please consider that she qualifies as an individual with a mental disorder
as per Article 10, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Act.
There's another reason
that I helped my father.
It was because
my father schemed with Chairman Song
and murdered Choi Hae-sik, Choi Kang-ho's father, 35 years ago.
Unbelievable.
At that time,
he bribed the detective in charge
and fabricated the marks on the victim's body.
I believe my daughter is very unstable right now.
I request that you adjourn this trial.
Witness, please sit down.
The court will decide whether to adjourn.
Taking their testimonies into consideration,
I believe the answer to this case
lies in the death of Hwang Soo-hyun,
Chairman Song's former secretary.
Witness Oh Tae-soo claims the defendant, Chairman Song,
murdered Hwang Soo-hyun.
But Song Woo-byeok and Oh Ha-young claim that Oh Tae-soo killed her.
In addition,
the police consider me, Choi Kang-ho, as a key suspect.
And it is most likely
that the baby's father killed her.
Then there's only one solution.
We'll see if the baby's DNA…
matches any of ours.
What is he saying?
Prosecution.
You're not allowed to summon any more witnesses.
The baby…
is alive.
Choi Kang-ho.
You said you'd rather be
Taesocrates dissatisfied rather than a pig satisfied.
But you're wrong.
No matter how hungry a mother pig is,
she wouldn't move recklessly so as not to harm her piglets.
Someone like you who used his child as a murder weapon
and heartlessly attempted to kill them
could never fathom such parental love.
Prosecutor Choi
is trying to taint my reputation before the presidential election.
This is a political maneuver and slander.
I will find out who's behind this and hold them responsible.
Please sit down.
-I refuse to testify anymore. -Witness.
Stop, or I will consider it an attempt at destroying evidence and fleeing.
Prosecutor Choi Kang-ho!
You bastard.
Oh Tae-soo.
You, and your accomplice Song Woo-byeok,
are under arrest for abetting the murders of Hwang Soo-hyun and her son,
myself and my mother, Jin Young-soon,
and Choi Hae-sik who died in the 1988 arson case in Bongu-dong.
You have the right to remain silent.
Hurray!
Hurray for Choi Kang-ho!
-Hurray for my son! -Hurray!
-Hurray for Choi Kang-ho!
-Hurray! -Hurray!
-Quiet down, everyone! -Hurray!
-Hurray!
Breaking news.
This afternoon, Jeilmirae Party's Candidate Oh Tae-soo
was arrested for abetting murders.
The prosecution is investigating
Chairman Song's slush fund worth hundreds of billions and the embezzlement…
He colluded with Oh Tae-soo and destroyed evidence.
And in return, monopolized the distribution rights for hand sanitizers…
This is the CCTV footage of the culprit in front of the VIP ward.
Suspect Yoon Jae-min was found guilty of using drugs and rape.
A retrial was filed after digital forensics results
revealed that the fall of Jung Min-ho at the construction site
was in fact the fault of Woobyeok Construction.
The public is keenly interested in the Bongu-dong fire incident
and Choi Hae-sik's death.
-Release Assemblyman Oh! -Release Assemblyman Oh!
They say you shouldn't bark if you can't bite.
You'll have to resign if you want to take me down.
So what'll you do?
You're the one who taught me,
"Hit a home run or strikeout."
Now that I've hit a home run,
I'll gladly take a strikeout.
WE BELIEVE IN YOU, ASSEMBLYMAN OH
Excuse me.
Ye-jin.
"Happy" is spelled with a "p."
Turn the "d" letter upright.
Okay? Try it.
-Gosh, they look so happy. -Here.
-Here, let me. -All right.
All right.
-You little brat. -What?
You should've told me sooner that he had recovered.
I thought you'd urge me to marry him if you found out.
What do you mean?
I didn't want to make you look bad.
Goodness.
Hey, did you hear?
Kang-ho and Mi-joo--
You heard?
I watched it.
What do you mean? Watched what?
The JBC drama.
Darn it. Move aside.
Hey.
Sam-sik, let me.
You must be tired from the trial.
You should just rest.
Since Mr. Sam-sik never works, he can serve the food today.
In other words, he's jobless.
Seo-jin, you…
Sure, laugh while you still can.
Once you find out who Kang-ho really is,
you won't be laughing anymore.
Hey, watch what you say to a kid.
-Sam-sik, why are you idling around? -Let's go.
What did you say to them?
Goodness.
I don't think I've ever felt
this happy and proud in my life before.
-Prosecutor Choi. -Yes?
You were absolutely amazing today.
"Oh Tae-soo."
"You're under arrest for abetting murder."
Now,
let me introduce the woman who raised this wonderful prosecutor.
The star of the day!
I bring you
Ms. Jin Young-soon!
Mom.
-Come on, Mom. -Gosh.
-Hurray for Jin Young-soon! -Jin Young-soon!
-My mom! -Jin Young-soon!
Gosh.
You're embarrassing me.
It's already been 35 years
since I moved here with a single pig on my truck.
I had no money or knowledge.
I was just
an unwelcome pregnant woman who suddenly barged in here.
But you all welcomed me with open arms.
No, we didn't.
We hated the stinky pig smell and protested your move.
You even carried Sam-sik on your back.
It's true.
You're right.
You barged into my house
wielding farm tools.
Then I suddenly went into labor.
And you helped me deliver Kang-ho.
Me too.
That's right.
-You were born in that room. -Yes, Mi-joo too.
Just like how we can't predict when we'll be born,
we can't predict when we'll die either.
I'd like to thank you all
while I still have a healthy mind.
People might say
that I'm the most unfortunate woman.
I lost my husband as well as my parents.
And then my son was seriously injured, and I have an incurable illness.
I doubt there's anyone who's more unlucky than me.
But you know what?
Life is so fascinating and makes you grateful.
When it takes one thing from you,
it always replaces it with something else.
Losing my parents
taught me to value my husband.
And losing my husband taught me to value my son.
And when my son was unwell,
I learned to value myself
so I could take care of him.
And because my life was cut short,
I learned to value everyone here,
who will be in his life in my stead.
Not many people are lucky enough
to encounter all these blessings in their lifetime.
I'm truly blessed
for being able to live this precious life.
Mr. Son.
Yes?
Mr. Bang.
And Sung-ae and Gum-ja.
Thanks to you,
I've never felt lonely
and lived
such a chaotic, happy life.
Later…
Much later in life,
when you move into the neighborhood up there,
I'll be the one
hurrying out and welcoming you with open arms.
Gosh.
Goodness.
Please.
Until then,
I pray that you'll be healthy
for a very long time.
All right.
You better welcome us with open arms.
Sing for us too.
Gosh, I'm embarrassing myself.
One, two, three, four.
-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you
-Happy birthday, dear Young-soon -Happy birthday, dear Young-soon
-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you
Wait.
Make a wish first.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM
All right, hop on.
I'll make rounds for getting into college, passing the bar exam,
and becoming a prosecutor.
-Goodness. -Yes, Kang-ho!
-Come on. -You're awesome!
-Oh, no! -Gosh!
-Oh, my!
-Goodness. -You're still very healthy, Mom.
Do it again.
-You should lose some weight. -Carry me again.
All right. Here.
-All right. -Let's do it again.
This is for getting into college!
Here.
This was the very first ring your father-in-law got me.
And here.
This was the very first ring I got your dad.
People say to love as if it's your first time.
But
I'd like you to love as if it's your last time.
"These are the last words that they're going to hear from me."
"This is the last image of me
that they'll remember."
That mindset will make you think twice about how you speak
and act towards each other.
Just like how
I still remember your dad's last words to this day.
What were his last words?
"See you later."
He hated saying bye because it implied an end.
That's why he always said, "See you later," instead.
"See you later."
Saying it over and over gave me butterflies
because it really felt like we were going to meet again.
Think of each other as gems and treat one another preciously.
Take good care and love each other.
And live a happy life.
-Okay? -Okay.
Okay.
Come to think of it, both of you were born
in that room on the same day and time.
Right?
Mi-joo, your grandma once said this.
"We say it's meant to be…"
We say it's meant to be
to someone whom we meet for the first time.
But fate is
what we say to someone who stays with us until the end.
Don't you think our kids were fated to end up with each other?
What?
Why are you here?
Are you going to sleep here?
Of course.
I'm going to sleep next to you until I get married.
Goodness.
I should start looking for a venue tomorrow.
What?
Do you hate it that much?
It's gross. You're a grown man.
It's not like you're Seo-jin or Ye-jin.
Seo-jin's eyes and lips remind me of you
when you were his age.
And Ye-jin
is excellent at drawing.
They're definitely your kids.
Whatever. I'm going to sleep with you.
-Lie down. -Gosh, what are you doing?
Just lie down. Let's sleep side by side.
All right.
-Goodness. -Here.
There.
All right.
Are you tired?
Yes.
I'm a bit tired.
It's been
a long journey.
Right?
All right. Let me massage your legs.
Goodness.
That's okay.
Come lie down.
Sing me a lullaby.
-What? -That song.
The song you sang for me
after our first date.
I want to fall asleep to that song.
Okay. Your wish is my command.
A tiring day passed by
Two are under the moonlight
As one shadow
That distant happiness is
Still there seemingly within my reach
When I
Close my eyes
I'm so happy.
Though your wounded heart
May cast a shadow
On your dream
But don't forget
That someone
Who loves you dearly
Is by your side
At times, this road
May seem endless
And you may shed tears of sadness
But until the day
We can reminisce these moments
Let's become
A place of shelter for one another
Even if the dreams we yearn for
Can't be found
Over the rainbow in the future
These moments
That we spend
Together
Are more important
Than anything else…
Mom…
Mom.
See you later.
LATE JIN YOUNG-SOON
REST IN PEACE
When will I need to do this?
Later.
Much later.
So let's try it.
Goodness.
-Goodness. -I am happy
I am happy
I am very very happy
The long awaited day has come
I am
Happy
I am happy
I am very very happy
That's right.
-I am happy -I am happy
-I am very very happy -I am very very happy
-I am happy -I am happy
-I am very very happy -I am very very happy
-I am happy -I am happy
-I am very very happy -I am very very happy
-I am happy -I am happy
-I am very very happy -I am very very happy
I am happy
I told you to stop calling me.
What if the kids catch on to us?
You released another new song?
"The Lovely Gumja Tower"? Get out.
I told you not to name your songs so obviously.
So tell me.
When will you be visiting again?
Visit at dawn.
When everyone is still fast asleep.
That was Grandma Jung, the crazy--
I mean, that was Grandma Jung who's crazy in love.
By the way, what are you doing?
I'm searching for stroke symptoms.
Her pronunciation is off.
I'm happy
Where's Sam-sik?
What is it? Is something missing again?
He stole my brand new cashmere long johns, socks,
and underwear!
What could he possibly use them for?
I'm speaking from experience.
Goods from outside are much better.
These are
cashmere long johns, so they're extremely light
and warm.
And these socks are from a famous brand.
You'll look awfully stylish if you wear these
under that cobalt uniform.
As for the underwear…
Would they be too big for you?
My mom does have a big butt.
Thank you.
Gosh, don't mention it.
Two years will pass
in the blink of an eye.
They will just fly by.
What's truly important
is that you and I are meant to be.
Meant to be.
Do you need anything else?
Do you need sesame oil?
Red chili powder?
We grew some tasty cabbage this year.
Would you like some?
-I am happy -I am happy
-I am very very happy -I am very very happy
Gosh, what's your secret?
You always have a bountiful harvest.
There's no secret.
You just reap what you sow.
What's with the cars in front of Mr. Son's house?
No, don't come out, Tiger.
Honey!
Wait!
What's happening?
Why are you leaving out of the blue?
Thank you for everything you've done.
My father re-established a newly-rising yakuza.
So I must return.
You irritated everyone with your perfect Korean.
But now, you speak with an accent.
This isn't fair.
Then what were all those years we spent together?
No.
What was I to you?
Was I just for your enjoyment?
I couldn't even enjoy you.
You know that.
It's time. Please get in the car.
Wait.
Pregnant?
What?
Tell Father that I am carrying someone's child.
How's that possible?
Honey.
HAPPY FARM
There he is.
Mom.
-Jong-gu! -Mom!
-What took you so long?
Mom, don't cry.
My poor son.
SEOBU PENITENTIARY
Mr. Jung Jong-gu.
I'm sorry it took so long.
Don't be.
I knew you'd come back for me.
Thank you.
Sir, here.
Your mother has been sending us kimchi,
side dishes, and red chili powder.
We wanted to refuse,
but they were so delicious.
So we've been accepting them all this time.
Please tell her she doesn't have to anymore
and that we're grateful.
I will.
Kang-ho!
Be careful.
Dad!
-Seo-jin! -Ye-jin!
He's my dad? I will never accept that.
How could she steal her own daughter's man?
Where are you going?
Let's play together.
Come on.
Ye-jin.
Hi.
We just moved here today.
Where does the village head live?
The trip there will be quite rough.
So let me escort you there myself.
This way, Mother.
HAPPY FARM
When did you decorate all this?
Where did you get the money?
Do you remember this?
It's the bankbook you gave me.
I wanted to throw this at your face the next time we met,
so I didn't spend a single penny.
But you know what?
Your mom told me
to think of you as a gem and treat you preciously.
-Right. Come here. -What?
PIG FARM, OFFICE WELCOME, HAPPY FARM
Take a look.
Look.
That's Father, and that's Mother.
And I love this photo.
We took this to commemorate
the donation we gave under the name of Happy Farm
after receiving a prize for our pig farm business.
This was such a proud moment, wasn't it?
It was.
This is the cutest photo of you taken on your first birthday.
And that's a photo of your parents' wedding.
And…
I thought long and hard about what photo to hang next to it.
And I think
it'd be nice to hang something similar to this one.
If you have any good ideas, let me know.
Okay?
-Next to that one? -Yes.
Go get changed.
Okay.
To my beloved son, Kang-ho.
Do you remember the very first letter you had written to me?
"We may be apart,
but I still live
in the memories I shared with you and Father."
By the time you read this letter,
I'll be feeling the same.
Kang-ho.
The Chinese character for "connection"
contains the characters for "thread" and "pig head."
The connections we build with others are just as difficult
as leading a pig with a thread.
You and I were connected as mother and son.
It's such a precious bond
so I wanted to become the best mom for you.
But you only get one life
and it was my first time being a mom,
so I'm sorry that I wasn't good enough.
I made a wish before blowing out my birthday candles.
I prayed that I'd become your mom once again.
If that ever happens,
I promise to be a better mom.
I won't tell you not to be sad about not having a dad.
I won't say that your grades are all that matters in life.
I won't ignore your talent for drawing.
I won't turn away
when I know that you want to eat more.
I won't hold back my tears
when I see you in pain.
I'll help you get up when you fall.
I'll embrace you when you're afraid.
I'll say, "Good job,"
"thank you,"
and "I love you,"
every single day.
And I won't
leave you so soon.
I love you, my son.
I hope you live a long, happy life
with Mi-joo, Seo-jin, and Ye-jin.
And we'll meet again
on the day my prayer is answered.
From your bad mother.
Today
is the day propose to Mi-joo
to ask her to live a long and happy life with me.
But you ruined everything.
Please watch over me
so that I won't be too nervous.
No.
Protect us.
Lee Mi-joo!
You're under arrest for becoming my wife!
You don't have the right to remain silent.
You cannot ask your mother for help when we argue.
How childish.
This isn't a proposal.
-Why not? -What you just said
might be used against you later in life.
So watch out, okay?
-This won't do. -What?
All right. I need your help.
-What? -All right.
Lee Mi-joo!
I saved your life three times.
So even if I get so annoying,
even if we argue,
and even if I get downright childish,
promise to live with me happily for the rest of our lives.
All right, go ahead.
-Come here. -Go to mommy.
-No! -Oh, no!
-Kang-ho! Hang on, I… -We have to look good.
Come on, think of our age.
-He is a napa cabbage flower -Napa cabbage flower
A new wind will blow
SAM-SIK'S MILL
I don't even eat marinated crabs
because it's so good I'd steal to eat them!
I hate stray cats even more.
They're like little thieves.
Do you know how shocked I was
when The Thieves was released?
Hey!
