WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TANGERINES
No, we're not having the baby.
Tell them to stop the delivery! What if Ae-sun dies in childbirth?
Goodness, he will only get worse once his baby is born.
How can I stand to see that?
A SPRING EVERY DAY
You're supposed to support her neck like this when you hold her.
No, I don't want to do it.
No, I can't. I'll probably hurt her.
Then just make sure you don't hurt her.
You know,
the baby is a bit…
A bit strange, you mean? She's all wrinkly, isn't she?
Look at her nostril. It's the size of a cotton swab.
She's so tiny.
Too tiny.
How will she survive in the world?
A dog could grab her and run away.
What's there to worry about? She has her Steelheart daddy.
We'll be there to protect her.
We'll give her everything.
Look! She smiled.
They had no idea back then
that I'd be…
What?
…in their debt for so long.
What's gotten into you?
You've always hated me packing things for you.
So now it's a problem to take them? What, are they too precious?
Was your husband fired from the academy?
Why would he be fired?
You know, when money is tight, fruit's the first thing you stop buying.
Fine, I won't eat it. I won't.
Why won't you let us visit you at your new place?
Fine, come over.
Then let's go together tomorrow. You have a lot to take anyway.
Why would you come tomorrow? I'm busy.
I'm coming with you, no matter what.
Why all of a sudden?
What now?
You can't fool me.
You're acting just like Eun-myeong did
when he told me not to visit his school.
I have to go see it for myself so that--
Well, we have no room.
Even if you come, there's no room for you.
Why not?
We live in a studio.
I quit my job.
I'm starting a business. I'm going all in.
So I'm all out.
Mother, it seems even Geum-myeong can mess things up.
I guess she decided to take the baton from Eun-myeong.
Wait, what…
Why would you quit your…
What's up with you?
What now?
Everyone out!
If you're gonna treat my words like crap, then just leave.
But I'm injured.
I've told you countless times
about how Uncle Hallim got frostbite and lost his finger.
I told you over and over to wear gloves when handling ice!
I was just talking to a wall, wasn't I?
Your uncle Jong-gu kept harping on about business,
and now he's getting by borrowing 100,000 won from me.
Mom, don't you want to know what kind of business it is?
I've never caused trouble before. I haven't.
Was that for me--
It's the first time in my life to…
What about kids? Aren't you going to have any?
So that's what you wanted to say.
You're fine now since you're young.
If you get older and become sick, without kids, who's gonna--
Is raising kids just for when you're sick?
-Hyeon-suk already has two! -Giving birth isn't the end of it!
Was that for me--
You think kids just grow up on their own?
Do you know how much raising a kid costs?
Who says only the rich have kids?
I want to raise my child in a family with means.
I want to buy them clothes every season and fancy shoes that fit.
I want to provide my kids with everything. If I can't, I won't have any!
I'm not rich, but I still had--
I heard Hyeon-suk's family bought all of these too.
At least Che-il has a rich grandfather!
Did you pick today to fight?
I'm struggling too. I really am.
Starting from scratch is wearing me down.
Their son got frostbite, and their daughter moved to a studio.
Ultimately…
Why are we stuck with this?
Seriously,
there's no end to our trouble.
It never ends!
…that one comment from my ever-understanding mom
made Dad take a bold risk.
Seriously…
This is really pissing me off.
So the first bold risk Dad ever took
was firing a bazooka.
I heard your daughter started a business too.
She must have some backup, right?
It takes one lucky strike to be a good father.
You've lost your mind.
Why did you do something so out of character?
Anyone could tell something's off, right?
How did you even get anyone to buy that cabbage field in the first place?
I hear a chairman is building a vacation home there.
Easy money just rolled right into your lap, didn't it?
What the hell is out here?
Who the hell would open a shop in the middle of nowhere?
Are you planning to sell raw fish to wild dogs or deer?
They're going to build a golf course.
What a coincidence, a golf course is being built here!
Haven't you watched that show Police?
When you're being scammed, everything they say just falls into place.
Gonna live without a house in your old age?
Who uses their house as collateral to buy a shop in their fifties?!
If he can't do it at 50, he'll never be able to.
Then when can he take a bold risk?
I'm proud of you.
Even if there's a haunted house around that corner,
no, even if there's no building,
I'll never abandon you.
Their loyalty is impressive, day and night.
My God.
Tell him to let me out of this car.
I can see some banners.
TOURIST AREA IN NEW JEJU WORTHY INVESTMENT, SMART INVESTMENT
Which one is it?
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY AT PRIME LOCATION FOR SALE!
Oh my. Wait a minute.
What's something like this doing here?
Oh dear. A "hospital"?
-The building is occupied by… -"Supermarket. Specialty restaurant."
PREMIUM COMMERCIAL PROPERTY WITH EVERYTHING
RENTAL INQUIRY FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
If they build a golf course here,
even the golfer Park Se-ri will visit us.
Thanks to your good son, you could get to meet Park Se-ri.
This shop belongs to the Yang family as well, right?
It also belongs to Kwon Gye-ok's son, right?
How do you still remember that?
Is this about me saying the boat belonged to the Ohs and not the Yangs?
It was wonderful to see him set sail on the boat your grandmother bought you.
When I heard Gwan-sik went
from being a boat captain to working manual labor at 50…
Goodness me.
He has been your husband all your life, but to me, he's my only son.
Seeing him suffer makes thunder rumble in my heart.
I'm sorry.
I took your precious son
and only made him suffer.
No need to apologize.
Well, you know,
do you remember everything from the past?
I know very well
that Gwan-sik has only ever taken my side.
No, I mean, you know, that one time
I accidentally slapped you long ago.
You hold onto things like that, don't you?
How can I forget?
It was the first time in my life I had ever been slapped.
But
you've made it even.
How?
I haven't done anything for you.
When we lost Dong-myeong…
you didn't say a single thing to me.
You've never once blamed me this entire time.
You don't make a cow plow after it loses its calf.
I was worried you couldn't go on, so I checked on you early every morning.
I still have the gold frog with me. The one you stole and ran away with.
I'll give that to you, not to my bratty daughter.
Sorry I gave you a hard time, and thank you for living on.
So I'm giving it to you.
My mother-in-law is a cut above yours.
A cut above yours.
Whatever!
COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT
LESSEE NAME: PARK YEONG-RAN
It was the season when everyone had a bazooka of their own.
DECLARATION OF DIVORCE (CUSTODY REQUEST)
Seriously,
is there too much delicious food in this world?
What will you do about that gut?
People go to pretty realtors. Being a piggy is bad for business.
These bicycles will help you crush that gut.
Also, if a couple shares a hobby,
their bond gets stronger, right?
Did you play mixed doubles to strengthen your bond with someone else?
Why would you bring that up now?
Mixed doubles is a sport too!
Is that why you went to see Mi-suk for real estate?
Forget it, then! Damn it!
Even if I try to do something for you…
Fine.
Let's go for a ride, then.
We'll go around the block.
Wait. Watch this.
See?
Of course, you don't know how to go together. You never have.
Hurry up! This is the riders' course.
You do know what riding means?
It's English.
Just up ahead, there's an amazing view of the bank!
-Where do you think you're going? -Go away!
-Come on, this way! -Go away!
Where do you think you're going?
How could a cat pass by a fish market?
Damn it!
She sure rushed out to see you in a hurry.
Huh? Who's that?
Even cycling is co-ed for you now?
Lady.
Go back in and keep on cooking, okay?
Hey, why did you even go on a bike ride?
Was that a farewell parade or something?
We've lived together for 30 years, after all.
We've never gone around the town together.
Is it because of my mom's tangerine field? Selling it for your real estate office?
Yeah, I don't need to eat any more of the white rice you pay for.
See? You always ruin everything.
I make the effort to make it work, and you--
What am I, a dog?
You left me tied up and enjoyed yourself all these years.
Did you think I'd wag my tail in joy
just because you took me for a ride around the block?
Goddamn it!
Tell the kids
to come and get their shoes or throw them out themselves.
Why leave their shoes when moving out?
All right. Okay.
I get the point, all right?
Stop putting on a show.
This isn't for show.
You know it too.
What do you do at home other than eat rice all day?
Huh? Why is she always like this?
Should I, a busy man, have to go chasing around after my runaway daughter?
Did you put my door back on? Don't violate human rights!
Good God. I'm really screwed.
Where did that come from? Never had anyone like her in our family.
See what happens if you thugs touch my man again.
I'm going to sue you, Oh-seong.
-Seriously?! -Goddamn it!
What a great family we are!
SANG-GIL LOVES OK
Do you like him that much?
Hyeon-suk, is this your first love?
So what if it is? Are you encouraging her?
You call yourself her mother?
At least you're experiencing something that I never did.
Was there really
not a single moment you liked me?
If I liked you, I would've lost it a long time ago.
When I was carrying Hyeon-suk, and you were seeing that bathhouse woman--
She was a classmate of mine at school.
You went to school in Seoul.
Goddamn it.
Back then, I cursed and put up a fight.
You even threw a coat hanger at me.
Hey, did I throw it at you? You ran into it.
You know, you totally crushed me.
Even a person's heart can die from being worn down endlessly.
Everyone calls me a saint, but I'm not.
I could only go on because I didn't love you.
-Honey. -Don't.
-Honey. -Don't waste your breath.
I believe Hyeon-suk has asthma because of your smoking.
Hyeon-suk pleaded with you for money to save her husband,
and you flat-out refused.
-I lost all feelings for you then. -Goddamn it.
Do I really have to do something so embarrassing at my age?
You've been living it up on your own all this time.
For the rest of my life, I'm going to live it up too.
Please let me resign.
I've raised all four kids well.
JEJU DISTRICT COURT
Damn it.
We don't have to change cars now.
Why didn't you tell me you knew? Was it like Cinderella's shoe or what?
Does it even matter now, ma'am?
That woman is even carrying her child.
She must be fleeing from the war.
Take pictures of women like her!
Go get her.
Goddamn it!
She's going around dancing?
If I had grilled you back then, would you have stayed with me?
You would've flipped the table and walked out on me.
You were a frigid ice queen. I thought I'd freeze to death next to you.
What do you want, punk? I don't have any money.
Oh man.
My wife asked me to bring this.
Goddamn it.
INSTANT RICE
She was right.
I was the real dog crap.
You little…
You damned…
You!
How about you come to your senses first?
Then we'll see who's really dog crap!
Goddamn it!
They had no idea back then
that the season would come when we'd mercilessly reap what we sowed.
GEUMEUNDONG'S
If this goes south,
we'll lose our apartment too.
I never expected you to throw a curveball like this at 50.
So why did you go along with it?
Well,
when you said that you wanted to buy this store,
I think it had been 30 years since I last saw that look on your face.
So if you're scared, walk away now.
Just go back home!
In all the 19 years of my life…
I've never felt more excited.
It's been 30 years since I saw you this excited.
How could I ruin that?
Why did you suddenly do something you'd never do?
Is it because of Geum-myeong's business? Because of Eun-myeong's hand?
Because of getting a losing roll.
I was afraid I was stuck in a game I couldn't win.
Being with you would be like always getting a losing roll.
I wanted you to roll at least a three, but this game is going like crap.
Since I always get a losing roll, I worry that my kids will too.
And it just pisses me off.
Old sayings are all lies.
They say money isn't everything.
Of course it is.
Even if I wanted to give them something, I couldn't without money.
The underwear Sang-gil buys for Che-il
is always better quality than the ones I buy for him.
Even if I went back 30 years,
I wouldn't hesitate to run away with you.
It's because I ran away with you back then that I'm now a restaurant owner.
Can you believe it? This is our restaurant.
Are you happy again?
Stop holding hands and get in here.
Why is she coming every day?
She said she'll work the register.
Mom will?
Call and ask when they'll install the toilet here.
Well, the construction isn't done yet.
Why did they just stop? When are the other stores moving in?
They didn't know back then
that life could knock your dice off the table.
Mr. Han the realtor ran off ages ago.
God, why did you do something you'd never do?
You hated lucky strikes!
Even Steelheart had entered a season when his child was telling him off.
Why didn't you just sit still?
How can you give away a land of gold for a crappy field?
You said you'd never sell the cabbage field, so why?
What about the cabbage field?
A chairman's vacation home, my ass. They're building a hotel.
But he said they're building a golf course here. And a hospital.
That's all bullshit.
My father fell for a realtor scam!
Father.
From what I can see, you have no luck with money.
You know that, right?
So what do we do now? Will we end up on the streets?
Will we lose our home?
What if we pay the interest and put this place up for sale?
Who'd buy this? Can we afford the interest?
You wanna turn to loan sharks?
Well, I'll go to the bank on Monday and talk about what happened--
Why do you keep spouting nonsense?
The bank will auction it off for sure.
If you're unsure, ask your kids from now on.
If you'd kept that cabbage field, you could've sent Che-il to study abroad.
It's your father's money!
It's your father's, not yours!
Who are you to make a fuss about whether he wastes it or sells it?
You know why he did this? You always go on and on about money.
Even if he wants to give, he has nothing. He did it so he could give you something.
Did you ever talk to us before doing business or making a mess?
"If you're unsure, ask your kids"? "Why didn't you just sit still"?
How dare you!
Don't disrespect your father's life. He never lived a single day for himself.
Let's go home.
I got you money.
g.o.d.'s Babysitting Diaries.
To raise Jae-min to be a healthier and smarter child,
the g.o.d. members came to a playroom with him.
He finds new and diverse play equipment.
Let's find out how much smarter Jae-min has become.
Who asked you to get us money?
-Where did you get it? -Got another way without me?
-Where did you get it? -I borrowed it.
I broke my hard-earned, modest savings.
I swallowed my pride and went around borrowing money.
Why bring your pride when you're here to borrow money?
If you can't say a word, why did you bother showing up?
Who told you to ask for money?
Why did you? Why?
How could I not?
I'm the older sister, the eldest child…
the damn pillar of the family.
-You raised me for that, didn't you? -When…
When did I ever--
Maybe that's not how you raised me, but that's just how I grew up.
Ever since my first part-time job,
I've sent you at least 100,000 won every month.
I needed that money too.
At times, I didn't wanna send a third of my earnings.
Who asked you to?
I always told you not to send it.
To be honest, the reason I sent it
wasn't because I was overwhelmed with gratitude…
but because I felt guilty.
I'd feel guilty if I didn't.
It was because I felt uncomfortable.
That's what family is like to me.
You don't know how it feels to bear nagging guilt, do you?
Quiet. Your father can hear you.
Why sacrifice so much to send me abroad to study?
Why do everything for me and bury me in guilt?
Parents who live every day without catching a break,
constantly struggling and putting all their hopes on me.
Do you know how heavy that feels?
A dragon from a stream? I'm sick of being the poster child.
The pillar, the older sister, the eldest child. I'm sick of it all!
Yang Geum-myeong!
My dad raised his voice at me for the first time.
"Yang Geum-myeong."
That was the only word he said…
but it cut me to the core.
It felt like someone on my side was calling me trash.
That damn brat.
She thinks she's above everyone.
All she does is throw a tantrum and just leave.
Then what about me?
I put up with all her tantrums during her teenage years.
She doesn't even realize I'm going through menopause.
But I feel guilty too.
Being the eldest child was a big burden for me.
I'm putting her through the same.
You had her when you were 18.
You were raising two kids at her age.
You buried a child in your heart and still went to sell on the streets.
No one can do it like you.
No one.
That cold-hearted brat. She should've taken these anyway.
She's not cold-hearted.
Don't you know that?
She is crying her eyes out now too.
I had no idea back then
that this day would be the first thing I'd remember on the day of Mom's funeral.
Don't bother peeling quail eggs.
She doesn't even want them.
Let's stop and rest. You said you're having hot flashes.
Goodness, why am I getting so mad?
I don't care if it's hormones or whatever. I just want to smash them.
Oh no.
My goodness.
What? What is it now?
My goodness!
Oh no!
MY HORMONES ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE TOO SORRY, GOMEN, MIAN…
It was hormones against hormones.
And Mom lost yet again.
She should've taken the food. Why didn't she take them?
She must've been asking around for money while pregnant, just like me.
She must be helpless too.
Oh my goodness.
Dad's universe, which once weighed 3.1 kilograms,
was carrying a universe of her own.
Honey, I can't do this.
Tell them I can't do it anymore.
Honey.
Is it too painful? Are you okay? Should I ask your mother to come?
Go ask them again.
Please go ask for an epidural for me.
Epidural? Okay.
The nurse is here.
-Is she getting the epidural? -We can't give it to her now.
Why not?
The dilation was too slow, so we decided to stop the epidural.
This doesn't seem to make sense right now.
She's been going on for 12 hours.
My wife is physically weak.
The real problem now is that the baby isn't moving.
Mr. Park, you need to sign a consent form
in case one of them--
I choose
my wife.
I choose my wife.
Why isn't the baby moving?
Hello, Mother.
Well, I'm not sure what's going on right now.
She's fully dilated, but the baby doesn't want to come out.
It's an obstructed labor, and neither of them…
is doing well.
What? What do you mean by that?
What is it? Is she in danger?
Is something wrong?
Mother, I'm really sorry to ask, but could you come over?
Geum-myeong
keeps asking for you.
Honey, what is it? What's wrong?
When the young branch sprouted a new shoot,
the entire tree trembled in silence.
One, two, three.
No, not yet.
Push more.
One, two, three, four.
No, you can't let up now. That would be very bad.
It hurts so much.
Now, breathe. Push.
One, two, three, four.
Come on, push.
I think I'm about to pass out.
Again. One, two, three.
Hold your breath.
You need to push a bit more. Push.
One, two. Don't stop now. Come on!
No, wake up!
No. You can't let up now.
Mom, don't stop now. The baby is in danger!
The baby's stuck at the shoulders. You need to push!
Mom, don't you want to see your little one?
Geum-myeong, go with your grandmother.
You go eat first, okay? I'll bring your little brother soon.
It's okay. Nothing to be scared of. Okay?
The baby's alive. Pat the baby, quick!
Two thoughts crossed our minds.
Let's be good to our mothers,
and…
There won't be a second.
Don't make me laugh.
The government has paid off the emergency funds borrowed from the IMF,
and Korea has regained control of its economy.
The risk of national bankruptcy…
Bom is truly an IMF baby, right?
We met again at the theater on the day the IMF crisis began.
She was born on the day the IMF crisis ended.
The timing is unbelievable, isn't it?
What is it? Should I call the doctor?
Are you still in pain?
I just can't believe it.
How did…
Exactly, it's unbelievable. Doing that for 28 hours?
That could kill a cow!
How did she have a baby at 18?
How, at 18…
I left my mom’s home, got married, and became a mom myself.
The farther she was, the brighter she glowed in my heart.
Only a mother could do that.
I mean, she didn't even have her mom by her side.
And they didn't have epidurals then.
At 18, how did she…
How did she…
She even rode a handcart when she gave birth to Eun-myeong.
Baby!
Mom.
Mommy's here.
Mom!
-You did well. I'm proud. -Their baby gave birth to a baby.
Oh my.
Wherever they were, it became a fortress,
and I became a baby all over again.
Father, let me…
Father, sometimes,
it feels like I married the Princess of Tangerine Land.
Got a problem?
So, Bom is--
This is seaweed soup with sea urchins. Real sea urchins.
The aunties picked them themselves.
Who do you think Bom looks like?
My mom and my aunts think she has Geum-myeong's nose.
She has her nose?
Her nose?
-Have you seen her yet? I'm sure you can. -We'll go see her now.
Do you really think your daughter comes first?
You better treat me well.
I'm a precious baby to them, got it?
What did the doctor say?
She's okay now, right?
She's healthy, weighing 3.6 kilograms. Her shoulder X-rays came back fine.
No, Geum-myeong's diabetes.
Is her gestational diabetes gone now that she's given birth?
Yes. Your daughter is also healthy.
Why does it feel like you're forgetting your place?
Every time I went home, the drumsticks were always for me.
I was always their number one.
Oh, you already bought baby clothes?
They're all expensive.
Dad didn't even look at the price and asked for the most expensive ones.
Why did you buy expensive clothes for a baby?
Dad has a new dream now.
A rich grandfather.
Dad, I didn't mean that. Why would you take it to heart?
Hey, let's go.
Let's go see Sae-bom.
Bom had arrived,
and spring had truly arrived.
REALTOR HAN MAN-CHEOL! YOUR FAMILY WILL BE CURSED!
WHY ABANDON THESE BUILDINGS? OWN UP TO PEOPLE'S MONEY!
JEJU'S JANUARY DAYTIME TEMPERATURE REACHES 21.4 DEGREES CELSIUS
Like they always did,
they eventually
pushed winter out of their way.
You'll really run the restaurant?
You think people will come?
They just need to take a five-minute detour.
They can just drop by, eat, and then go.
We'll give them more for their time.
Will they detour?
Hell, if they don't come, I'll take it to them.
Are you really going to do deliveries?
People only get food like jjajangmyeon delivered.
I caught squid for 30 years.
There's nothing you can't do with squid.
What do they know about squid?
They'll overpay for dead ones elsewhere.
We'll have the freshest, tastiest, cheapest squid in Jeju
and deliver it right to their door faster than anyone else.
How can they resist?
But, honey,
there isn't really anything else to try.
Honey.
You know what?
I'm confident about being diligent.
Same here.
I don't have any other talents at all.
They decided to pursue what they had been most confident in.
because plowing rocky fields and catching all the fish in the waters
reflected Ae-sun and Gwan-sik's attitude.
Hello.
GEUMEUNDONG'S WE AIM TO GET IT DONE IN TEN MINUTES!
Even the heavens must've felt bad
as they kept sending corner kicks their way.
Soccer games meant food deliveries.
And at last,
it was the year 2002.
-Park Ji-sung! -Park Ji-sung! It's a goal!
South Korea leads Portugal, one to zero!
Did we score?
Hey, Gwan-sik!
Go, Korea!
I told you Park Ji-sung would score.
I've been playing soccer for 20 years.
Hey, Gwan-sik!
Bring me a whole box of raw squid!
Go, Korea!
In our business tactics,
Dad has always been Park Ji-sung, and Mom has always been Guus Hiddink.
Just tell me directly.
Who's the top squid specialist in the Jeju Sea?
Those mainland amateurs don't know a thing!
They try running seafood places, but they fail.
To them, squid is just a side dish.
They can go without it, but to us, squid is the star player.
Squid is our striker, our Ahn Jung-hwan.
-That's Gwan-sik's wife? -Yep.
So, Captain, give us exclusive rights
to your squid.
So just tell me how much you're going to pay.
We can't offer you much for now.
For crying out loud.
But later on, we won't take your squid even if you want us to.
It will be too late then!
Wow, she's tough and picky.
Gwan-sik loses to her, doesn't he?
Isn't it obvious? He loses every single time.
Why are you here instead of Gwan-sik when we have these talks?
The women from that family usually go around running the show.
GEUMEUNDONG'S CEO, OH AE-SUN
Don't give me a maybe.
I need a yes or no.
EVER CORP. CEO, YANG GEUM-MYEONG
Whether you buy Samsung Electronics at 300,000 or 3,000,000 won…
is up to your own judgment now.
Actually, sir,
I'm meeting with two more people after you.
If you choose not to come aboard with me,
I'll find another hidden gem
and make them the best in the industry.
I'll surpass you, sir.
Oh man.
I believe this is going to work.
This isn't just about remodeling. It's about changing the game.
But why is the name of your company…
Well, it's because of my mom.
My mom is the inspiration for this.
"Jeju duty-free stores will open to domestic customers."
So even Koreans can buy cigarettes in Jeju duty-free stores now?
You'd ask your father-in-law that?
No, every time I go to Seoul,
they ask me to bring back cigarettes from the duty-free shop.
Gu Mahjong and Lee Sucker think you can buy anything there.
Gu Mi-jeong and Lee Sun-mi.
I never thought I'd benefit from anything the government did.
More tourists will lead to more food orders from the resorts.
Hasn't the film crew called from the motel today?
Could they be ordering from elsewhere?
What exactly are they filming in Jeju?
They say that guy is going to be in it.
The one with nice teeth.
That's right! Lee Byung-hun.
Right. Lee Byung-hun.
UNLIMITED REFILLS OF SQUID SOUP FOR DINE-IN CUSTOMERS
They kept getting free kicks.
Yes, if you don't order delivery
and come to the store to eat, you'll get a 10% discount.
That's right. It's a 10% discount.
Please come in!
This must be Byung-hun's favorite spot. His autograph is here.
His picture is here too.
What, arigatou again?
Well, chotto matte.
Chotto matte.
I wonder where he sat.
Here.
Here?
Mother, someone is selling restaurant chairs on Joonggonara.
Should we get more?
Do we really need them?
It was in the early days of Joonggonara.
Hey!
Hey, in-laws!
Seriously? "Hey, in-laws"?
Why wander around instead of watching the kids?
Who would have thought Joonggonara would bring up that name?
Cheol-yong.
Cheol-yong!
Park Cheol-yong has been caught!
Oh my!
They found the buncheong stoneware!
Hey, who'd buy something worth 70 million won?
He couldn't get rid of it, so the fool listed it on Joonggonara.
So is the buncheong stoneware mine?
Hot damn!
Yes.
Who's speaking again?
It was inevitable.
Who?
It was a season
when a grateful bird brought her flock to repay a debt.
She's like a white dove.
I only come to Jeju to eat this, you know.
The squid soup here is my comfort food.
It's as if this bowl brings me back to life.
Is she a regular?
I've never seen her.
Ma'am, if you could perhaps do that catchphrase just once…
Director, we agreed that she wouldn't do that.
I want a shot of it just in case.
Let's do it.
I'll do it.
Soup for sale, soup!
Just like that?
She's still got it.
SOUP FOR SALE, SOUP! GEUMEUNDONG'S SQUID SOUP
I CAN VOUCH FOR THIS PLACE JEONG MI-IN
You must really love squid. I've never seen you eat like that.
-I don't eat seafood. -What?
Go outside for a smoke and get the directions to the next place.
Yes, sir.
Mi-in, all I want is for you to be honest with me.
I don't care if you went to Macau or got your face done.
Just don't lie to me.
There was nothing between you and that man, was there?
Nothing that might cause trouble later?
-Hey. -No, right?
Why would I be here if there was nothing?
Don't you care about me?
I have to send child support in dollars.
That man is the one who's been paying you.
That man is the reason you're wearing that Rolex right now.
When my scandal blew up, I wanted to die.
I thought there'd be photos of my remains if I died from carbon monoxide,
and people would gawk at me if I fell from a high place.
So I got on a fishing boat.
Here.
Woo-ryeong once said she wanted to hang herself
but decided to shave her legs first.
While shaving, she found it absurd and stopped.
She wasn't lying.
I had no regrets about my life, a life even a dog wouldn't want to live.
But that man saved me.
I must've been out of my mind.
I could hear people and an ambulance approaching,
but even in that moment, I just wanted to cover my face.
But then, that man
took off his jacket and covered my face.
It was the first time in my life.
Jeong Mi-in.
Everyone wants to expose me. Who wants to cover me?
Hey, man. This banana milk is nothing.
I couldn't forget what he did for me, so I went to see him.
Oh my.
He can buy all the pork he wants.
It's a secret ballot anyway.
They'll just eat and won't vote for him anyway.
They'll all vote for Ae-sun.
He lived like a person.
Don't you recognize me?
I won Best Supporting Actress yesterday for playing a fisherman's wife.
I'm doing quite well right now.
Is there still nothing I can do to repay you?
Nothing at all. Don't worry about it.
I already told you a long time ago.
Turns out life's not actually so bad.
It's worth living.
So I really must repay you for saving my life.
Just give me one chance to do so.
I'm doing well right now.
The reward wasn't luck.
It was earned by his warm heart.
What if that man ends up arguing with his wife?
Who wouldn't find this strange?
Why would Jeong Mi-in show up out of nowhere?
-His wife might know about it. -I don't think so.
Men tend not to tell their partners when they think they're in with a chance.
Exactly.
Those things end up determining how a man's later years turn out.
Why are you glancing at me while saying that?
See? I was right.
I told you she came a few years ago to say thank you.
You've said that countless times already.
You must be so proud, aren't you?
You know, I got to save a celebrity.
It really is something. Who wouldn't think so?
Look at Sang-gil getting so messy.
Just look at how dirty his collar is.
You reap what you sow in life.
One has never budged through all kinds of storms,
and the other fluttered like that air dancer in the wind.
How can their later years be the same?
THE SHARE OF SO-CALLED "GRAY DIVORCES" INCREASED BY 18%
Those shoes look nice.
They're light. Apparently, the Maasai wear them.
Where did you get them?
I don't know. I just wear what they give me.
They buy you shoes?
My wife and kids do sometimes.
You should eat before you go.
Well, I could just go eat at home.
No one's home anyway. Just eat here.
That ramyeon you eat all the time is what's making your belly so…
Come on, get a haircut already.
Not having much hair is no excuse for skipping the salon!
Well, all right. Arigatou for inviting me.
Just say "thank you" properly!
Then weren't you going to fulfill a father's role for this?
Eat before you go.
BRIDE BU JEONG-SUK DAUGHTER OF BU SANG-GIL AND PARK YEONG-RAN
Don't be like that to him. He did fulfill some duties as a father.
Yes, he fed us white rice. I'll give him that.
No, about Cheol-yong.
I think Dad was the one who caught him.
No money can pull out
the peg you drive into your child's heart.
You think you're the only one who thinks?
I think too. I think way ahead of you!
I know you work tirelessly around the clock,
but you can still pick priorities in the middle of all that.
The chief detective can't even do that?
Just pay to get him out, okay? Settling is the best option.
Isn't that just admitting guilt?
The guilty one should be punished. Why should the victim pay the price?
Even if he pays to settle, people will still talk about him
as if he's a thief with a criminal record.
I guess he is your son-in-law, after all, even though you never see him.
I know the boy, that's why.
Eun-myeong doesn't have the guts to do something like that.
After getting beaten up by my sons a few times,
he couldn't even take the bus passing our house.
Hello, sir.
Oh-seong, don't go to that gambling den. I won't turn a blind eye anymore.
Bow and show some respect, you idiot.
He's your big uncle!
No, it's fine. No need to bow.
Hey, give it here.
Oh my. This thing…
You know, this is…
Deer antlers.
Seriously, it's fine. Take it back.
Just take it.
-Hang on. -Seriously!
Just stay put.
I gotta look after my big bro's health. Otherwise, who will?
Here we go.
You know,
the actor I respect the most is Choi Bool-am,
a chief inspector who tirelessly serves the nation.
Catching a petty thief would be a piece of cake, right?
I'm Bu Sang-gil of Dodong-ri.
There’s no problem if you swallow this in one gulp, okay?
Well…
Good grief.
I guess you're really a father, after all.
Where in the world is there a father who just goofs off?
I've been a boat captain, a co-op chief, and a father.
But being a father has the crappiest return.
-Now, open up. -It's fine.
Just open up. I put effort into making this wrap.
-All right. -Don't eat my hand now!
Hyeon-suk pleaded with you for money to save her husband,
and you flat-out refused.
I lost all feelings for you then.
So you bought a Grandeur with my money?
Hey, little brother.
Move your car, and then we'll talk.
You said you never give up. Why did you give up on Park Cheol-yong?
Who on earth parks a car like this in front of the police station?
I see what this is!
You already got paid! So you flushed our deal down the toilet?!
I did my best in the investigation--
-Is he the jailbreak king or Jean Valjean? -Why bring up Jean Valjean?
Why can't you catch him? It's because you won't dig!
It's the global era.
You can't even catch him in the age of the Internet?
Are you drunk?
Nobody feels good after losing money and a wife.
I've got nothing to lose now.
If you don't want your name in the papers,
give me my money back with interest or hand over Park Cheol-yong!
Choose one or the other.
"Interest"?
Wow, looks like Dodong-ri's Bu Sang-gil is all washed up now, huh?
To hell with Dodong-ri's Bu Sang-gil!
How do you think Cheol-yong was found through Joonggonara?
How ridiculous.
Is it Sang-gil's little secret or something?
-He keeps some things to himself. -Like what?
About you going around dancing?
When I used to go to nightclubs just like you did--
I danced so I could live.
Every time I came home late,
I'd peek through the door to check if Dad was sleeping in the living room.
Whether his daughter came back or not, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
No, he didn't.
One time, I saw him.
As soon as he heard the door open,
he quickly turned off the TV and pretended to be sleeping.
Now that I think about it…
it was probably because Dad was a chicken.
That's why he just yells a lot but won't pick a fight he'd lose.
I think Dad was just a little scared
that we might all actually leave one day.
Goddamn it. Seriously.
Whether I see him or not, he's always a nuisance.
Time turned all things in our sight into a watercolor.
It blurred spite
and softened people's hearts.
Those damn imbeciles.
They grew up on white rice but never bought me these things.
These days,
instant rice is taking care of me.
Come by again tomorrow.
Think I have nothing to do?
I have plenty of places to eat.
No, just help out your in-laws.
Once we're on TV, we might become filthy rich.
I could become a millionaire overnight.
Hey, they'll only flock in at first.
If the food is bad, it's all for nothing.
Dreaming about getting rich overnight? With that kinda mentality, you're doomed.
-Can you use nicer words? -Why should I?
So are you coming or not?
Well, are you saying
you need me?
Come on. Don't you know what's going on with our family these days?
Eight dwarfs began gathering
in an abandoned building in the forest.
Drink this first.
All right!
Eun-myeong, hold this.
And at last…
the bells began to dance in the heart of the forest.
"IF YOU CAN'T, JUST BACK DOWN. WE'RE ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU."
