Hey, give me more ice creamwith this cone! Out of my wayor you'll get hurt.
Hey, Mr.
Park! Why are you hauling the water? 'Cause Yongsun, my first daughteris on an errand.
.
.
My wife nagged meto get the water.
Where are you going all dressed upHwang? I'm on my way to get my commissionfor some realtor work I did last month.
You didn't get it yet? That's what I'm sayinghe's so behind.
But, he saidhe'd pay me today for sure.
Really? Hwang if you get the moneywill you buy me a drink? You have my word.
I'll drop by this evening.
Good.
In the summer, you buy a drinkin the winter it's on me.
Fish, I got fresh fish! Goldfish! I have the sweetestmelons on earth! Goldfish! Goldfish! Put the pails down.
Let me empty them! I thoughtthe dog days were over.
Why is it so hot and humid? What's going on with Yongsun?She's out day and night.
Oh, honey, don't get worked upshe's a grown girl.
That's why I fret! The more she's outthe more trouble she's in.
Oh, there was a messagefrom Mr.
Lee's What message? They want you to fix the fire pitit caved in after the rainy season.
Mr.
Park, you are already at work! I left a message; I was worriedthat you would not be prompt.
Worried?'On time' is my middle name.
Well, it's all done.
Yes ma'amI just need to wash my hands.
Hey, warm water for washing.
It's annoying.
We light a fireand it's gone out the next minute.
That happens a lotafter the rainy season.
But don't worry nowI made it work properly.
Look, the problem was thatthe flu was not aligned.
I should've havelet you do it from the beginning.
Making a fire pit asksfor a lot of work like getting along witha screwy old spinster.
After youwash your hands come up and have something cold.
Great! – Come on, it's all right.
– Thank you.
Oh, not on the floor.
Sit in the chair.
Don't bother about me.
No, you're my guestcome be comfortable in the chair.
Really, I'm just finehere on the floor.
– No, Just Come up here.
– My feet are so filthy, so.
.
.
I think you'll like thisbetter than a cold beverage.
What's that, ma'am? It's whisky.
We got it as a giftit's quite rare.
What a treat!Thank you very much! It looks beautiful! It's the same coloras soybean sauce.
It's thought to beone of the best liquors.
I heardit helps keep you healthy.
– My innards don't deserve it.
– Oh No, don't be shy.
Your children earn enough totreat you like this! Don't give it a thought.
They've just begun toget by on their own.
So, getting such an expensive thingis not something I dwell on.
But I know people are enviousof you and your children.
Well, because they are well-manneredthere are rumors.
Your son works fora pharmaceutical factory? Yes, he's been promotedto a manager.
I think I've had enough.
No more, thank you.
He is in charge of deliveries.
He's not around muchthese days right? Yes, he staysin the company dormitory.
Comes home every two weeks.
I'm telling you, I am proud of him.
I think you have a right to be.
And your second child isa daughter, yes? – Myeongsun?- Right.
She must take after me.
She has nimble fingerswhich help her make her living.
You knowthe Gaepung building? She is a typist foran airline company there.
Please type this, Myeongsun.
'No matter whatsee me in the coffee shop.
' Yes, right.
Miss Park!It's a call from your brother.
Hello Yongbeom? Myeongsun? Hi, how is everything at home? Dad is busy? Naturally, after the rainy season.
Hey, Myeongsun, I get paid today.
Okay, tomorrow is Saturdayand I'll leave at 3.
You want to meetat the bus stop? Yeah, at the Shimjeongcoffee shop.
I want you to meet someone.
Okay, I will be there at 4:00 bye.
Sorry, I'm late.
Is everything all rightwith your family? Sure, thanks for caring, Jeomrae.
– Take this.
– What's this? It's rice candy thatyour mom likes.
I thoughtyou'd be off tonight so.
.
.
You already trying toget in her good graces? The package was great, so I thought it was jewelry.
I know the secretyou work for the packing department! Don't make fun of me, Yongbeom.
Mom will love this.
Then I will buy something for dad.
But you are so dear to mommore so than to dad, right? Of course.
But mom alwaystakes my sisters' side and dad is on mine.
Your father supports you'cause you're a most devoted, dutiful son.
Oh, you know the whole story? Dad is my brother's bosom buddy.
So it goes well as long asit goes through my brother first.
Is your father that strict? He is the most pig-headedperson on earth.
He greets a stranger bluntlyeven rudely, saying.
.
.
'Who the hell are you? ' He belongs toa different generation.
I have news, too.
My aunt is coming soon from Hawaiito help with my wedding.
Your aunt? When? In two months.
So, I want to seeyour dad as soon as I can tonight would be great.
No, meeting dad directlyis a bad plan.
Meet my brother tomorrow first.
If my brother is on our sidethere won't any trouble with dad either.
I've already told my brother about you.
.
.
about your losing your parents.
Really? You're so amazingwith your planning.
– Myeongsun is late again!- She's busy at work.
How come you knowso much about her? I told you, she's old enoughto be home late, don't butt in! Like mother like daughter.
Don't give them blind support! – Eat quickly, dad.
– Oh I'm expecting a guest.
Is there any liquor left? Liquor is your best friend, dad! Show some respect to your pa, smart-mouth! At my age, nothing meansmore to me than liquor, smarty.
Please drop the 'smart-mouth'.
People will find fault with that.
Never! All the neighbors like medon't they buy me drinks? – Park!- Yes.
Here you are.
All right.
In a moment.
Give me my rubber shoes.
Finish your dinner first! Here.
Dimwit here is goodat shining shoes.
– Dad, when are you coming back?- You're going out this late? Don't start again.
She has a lot on her plate.
You Just go on.
Just be home! It's you that's worries me most! He's carefree when it comes to”hey, Park, let's have a drink.
' Mom, Jaecheon is learninghow to drive.
– Driving?- For more than 2 months.
But he should get out ofthat gang first.
He did! Please tell Dadhe's a good guy.
You knowhe's deaf to my words! But rememberhowever tough he is with you he's proud of you all.
So, be careful not to hurt your father, by seeing Jaecheon.
– Hey, some liquor here.
– Coming up.
This guy is a pain in my ass.
He paid me only halfof the payment – and couldn't care less.
– Careful, it's too full.
Then it tastes better.
I'm crazy for you, lady.
Behave yourself! Something with the liquor? This afternoonI worked on Lee house fire pit.
So? Mrs.
Lee treated mewith some westernliquor that I didn't know about.
It tasted awful.
You should have some choiceof what you drink! When cows eat meatthey get a stomachache.
For you and me, this rice liquor at this baris the best.
True, true.
But I'm curious; do those who drink whiskyhave a special gut.
Let me put it this way.
Whisky or whatever, it's for the westernes, not for us.
It's like a nail in our coffin.
This rice liquor is the best.
Hwang.
.
.
How about a dish of pig liver! Yes! – Good.
– I will make a special one.
– Make It a double.
– No problem.
– What's with you? Just talk!- I don't give a damn! I'll kill him!Don't get in my way! Hey, cool off! I don't give a damnif he is the son of a CEO.
I won't forgive his betrayal! That bastard will pay for this! What's the problem? What?You son of a bitch! Hey, riff-raff!Where do you think you are? A cheap bar!And screw it! What the?You.
.
.
you.
.
.
Have you no respectfor your elders? Get him out of here.
Hey, let's go.
What rude trash! What does school teachthese days? It's unbelievable! They are drunk.
Don't let it get to you.
I wonderwhat their parents are like.
I'm afraid my kids will turn out like thatthat's why I don't want kids.
– They act like thugs.
– No argument there.
Park, you also should keep on eyeon your children.
What are you talking about? Okay let metell you something.
What?Is it about my son or daughters? – Yongbeom, your Son is the best.
– I know.
– But Yongsun and Jaecheon.
.
.
– Don't even start.
But your daughter Yongsun isin love with that guy! – What? Yongsun?- I knew you knew nothing.
If you had seen what I saw, you'd have had a stroke! Just tell me, what happened? – You aren't drunk, are you?- If I am? Listen.
A couple of nights ago, I was passing by your house.
.
.
The scum, Jaecheon.
.
.
– oh, I can't do this, forget it.
– You trying to make me angry or what? Then I happened to see him.
.
.
Signaling to your daughterby whistling to her.
– Is your Dad home?- He Just went out.
I have something to tell youin private.
What if dad comes backwhile I'm gone? Unless he sees uswith his own eyes we're okay.
– But he smells a rat.
– It will be all right.
Oh, it's so cool.
Yongsun, I'll getmy drivers' license in 3 weeks.
– Are you sure?- Of course.
You want to seethe training school card? – Where is it?- Let me show you.
Have a seat here.
Now you believe me? I can't wait to see you driving.
The day I show upwith a driver's cap on.
.
.
Everyone will be surprised, your dad included.
Dad thinks of you as a street thug, believing the rumors.
Yongsun, I don't care what they say.
I'm determined todo the right thing.
My parents would bepleased to know that you don't belongto the gang.
Yongsun, I'm a better personbecause of you.
Whatever happens, I can't think of life without you.
Then promise you won't bewith the gang again.
Sure I promise.
I will make a livingwhen I get the license.
And I will buy you a present.
– Really?- Just Wait and see.
Who's there? It's nothing.
Jaecheon? I feel addicted to youmissing you every moment.
I even see youin my dreams, Yongsun.
How disgusting, are you out of your mind? It's how he kissed your daughter.
Hwang! Every word of yours is trueas steel, right? Sure, you want meto kiss you again? – I will kill.
.
.
– You're drunk? She kissed a guywithout asking me? Don't tell her I told you, got it? You lecherous old goatyou lied! I told you, I saw it with my own eyes! But I'm scared thatthe thug may beat me to a pulp! – Lf he asks, you know nothing.
– Park, hey, wait! Shall we have something cold? No, it's too late.
Mother's waiting and fretting.
Okay let's take a cab home.
That slut! Why are you locking the gate? That whore! – Where is Yongsun?- She's on an errand.
What's wrong with you? What a damnable mess this is! She flirts with a lowlife scumwithout asking me a thing.
I don't want to hearthat crap again.
If I find you twoplotting against me, I will break your legs! Honey, you're drunk, just stay home.
– Did you see Yongsun?- No, sir.
Slut!When I get my hands on you.
.
.
What? My dad is over there.
Did you Yongsun? I saw her walking downunder the bridge.
Bridge?I'll catch you red-handed! – Yongsun, get home fast.
– See you tomorrow.
If you run into DadJust be polite.
Got it.
– Mom, is Myeongsun home yet?- Not yet.
You didn't seeyour father out there? I didn't see him.
Why? What happened between youand Jaecheon? Nothing.
– Your father is furious.
– Why? He blew his top, thinking youkiss men without asking him.
Oh he puts too much trusin the rumors! Mom! I'm ashamed of poppa! Why? He toppled off the bridge, drunk.
Oh my god, I knew this was coming.
He went crazy.
Is he hurt at all? Over here.
Honey, are you all right? – I am sorry, Jushik.
– Hey, wake up! It's nothing.
Jushik, this is my mom.
Mom, this is Jushik.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Ahn Jushik.
I've heard so much about you, have a seat.
Wake up, dear.
You disgraced yourself, didn't you! Please bring me some water.
Yongsun, you deceived me! Yongsun is not home.
I sent her on an errand.
– The slut!- Bring the water, quickly! You're driving me crazy.
Sorry but I need to get going, it's late.
I can't thank you enough.
– Good bye, Mrs.
Park- Nice meeting you.
What, who is it? Come here.
It's someone looking for you.
– Say hello to him tomorrow.
– For me? Who is it? He carried you on his backall the way home! – What? Carried me on his back?- How shameful for your children! Please, stop being an idiot – and go into the bedroom.
– I am bright eyed and bushy tailed! I said stop.
Let's go to the room.
I'm okay, you can go now.
– Will you Come again tomorrow?- Of course.
– Go.
– Good bye, take care.
Sorry, I'm late.
Yongbeom will be hereany minute.
Let's take a cab.
Haebangchon, please.
Not to Seoul Station? Yongbeom is always frugal, he came sharing a cab.
Oh? Then, after the department storelet's buy a drink for your father.
After we meet Yongbeom.
Jushik, this is how it should go.
You're my brother's buddy, so mind your manners in front of dad.
What if your brotherdoesn't help? That's why we'll meetYongbeom first.
You're the only one I trust.
But I'd be stunned if your dad says'who the hell are you? ' Just defer to himif you want to win his favor.
Is your dad home? Sure, he must be homesince Yongbeom is coming.
It's nap time for him.
This goes to Wonhyoro!Hurry, get on! Go, go.
Jushik, dad is there! – What?- Look! He must be waiting for Yongbeomlet's go to the coffee shop.
Over there.
– What time is it?- 4 o'clock.
My back aches.
– Yongbeom, here you are!- Dad! Give your stuff to me.
– You shouldn't do this.
– I've been here so long.
– You're later than last time.
– I am busy at work.
Let's go.
Dad could see us, let's move.
Since you moved awayfrom home, Myeongsun's home lateevery night.
She must be busy at work.
Dad, would you mindwaiting here a moment? I have to see my friendin the coffee shop.
Your friend? Okay, I will be here.
– Give them to me- It's okay.
No, you could lose themin there.
It won't take long, dad.
– Okay, keep It short.
– Of course.
Yongbeom, over here.
Yongbeom, this is Jushik, Jushik, this is Yongbeom, my brother.
– I'm Ahn Jushik.
– I am Park Yongbeom.
Give him a juice too.
I've heard a lot about youfrom Myeongsun.
Drink up.
Just treat me likeyour younger brother.
Let's have the juice.
I know your father is too demandingto understand me at first.
.
.
I want to tell you about me in advanceto get your support.
Myeongsun is right, you give a good first impression.
Have you seen my father? Sort of, but nothing formal.
You'd be stunned to hearwhat dad did last night.
What happened? Dad fell off the bridge, roaring drunk.
And? Jushik carried himon his back home.
Oh, that was very kind.
I should have done that.
By the way, my sister is like a youngster to me – so please take care of her.
– On the contrary, I learn a lot from her.
And no worries with dad tonight, I'll put in a good word for you.
Yongsun looks forwardto see you, too.
Is she? Is she still going outwith Jaecheon? Yeah, but dad's insuch a fit about Jaecheon, he agonizes all night.
But dad only wantsour happiness.
Hey, come on, son! Hey, watch out, kid! Yongbeom! – Come on, let's go home.
– Wait a moment.
Myeongsun, I'll get home first.
See you later.
You didn't see us here, okay? Excuse me.
Now it's done.
– Give them to me, dad.
– It's okay.
What took you so long? What were the other two doing? – My friend was dating his fiancee.
– Not married? Oh, boys and girls these days! But the world is changing, people in love see each other.
Don't hand me that.
.
.
If Myeongsun does that, I will kill her.
– Mr.
Park!- Yes! I've got something to ask you.
You go first.
Mother! – Yongbeom is home?- He Just got here.
– Yongbeom.
– How have you been? Mom's not home? – She went shopping for dinner.
– Out shopping? – Yongbeom, I'm in big trouble!- What? Dad suspectsI'm going out with Jaecheon.
He'll kill me if he sees me.
If dad asks, I'm not home, okay? Don't worry.
Is your Mother home? Looks like she's out.
She's crazy, leaving the house unwatched! Where's Yongsun? She's busy with something.
Oh, my back aches.
What's in the bag? – It's laundry.
– Take them out.
– How about a drink?- Ah, you bet! Here you go.
Let me see, I need some snacks.
– Where are you going?- To the kitchen.
– No, you don't have to.
– Why? – Let me get you something.
– No, you take a rest.
No, you just sit still, Dad.
Do you know what is where? Take that radish, on the shelf.
Okay.
Over there.
Here you are.
– It's ages since I drank this!- Let me pour for you, Dad.
Watch out, it's overflowing! Let me pour.
Me? I am okayDad, it's your call.
– Is Yongsun home?- No, she's not here! What are you women up to? Damn! Yongbeom, I have a question.
Go ahead.
.
.
When a girl and a boy kiss, what are they supposed to do next? – What happened?- Nothing, Just out of curiosity.
If they kissed.
.
.
They should be married.
No matterwhat kind of bum he is? If Yongsun is the girl, you wouldn't let her marry him? If she did it, I will kill.
.
.
Oh, here comes your mother.
– Mother!- Yongbeom, are you home? How have you been?Come on up.
What was so urgent, that you left home unwatched? Yongsun, take this for me.
What am I saying?I sent her on an errand! She must be in the kitchen! – I told you, I sent her on an errand.
– I don't you trust Mother? You drinkin the middle of the day? Oh, are you drinking again? It's what Yongbeom boughtfor me! Oh, Mother!I have Something for you.
What is it? – Rice candy.
– Thank you so much.
Let's eat thiswhen Yongsun comes home.
Okay.
– Break It into small pieces.
– Okay.
Dad, when isMyeongsun coming home? When it's after dark, she's late.
– Take them off.
– Yes, father.
– Dad is drinking, that's good.
– Is your Mother home, too? Who is?What's going on? – Yongbeom, How have you been?- I'm doing great, thanks.
Are you doing well too? – Are you home from work?- Come on up.
How are you, sir? Pigs can fly?How come you are home this early? Father, it's Saturday! Hey, Jushik, say hello to my dad.
Nice to meet you, sirI am Ahn Jushik.
Ahn Jushik? Oh, what shall I do now? – Last night he carried you.
.
.
– Don't, Mom! He works for the same companyas Myeongsun.
– You work with Myeongsun?- Yes.
I'm being forward saying this, but.
.
.
I've been in love with Myeongsunfor more than 5 months now.
We got something for you, Father.
Here it is.
You don't have to Do this.
What the? Hey, Jushik, please leave! Father, it's rudeif you ignore his kindness.
This sneaky gift plotdoesn't work on me! If you do that, Yongbeom will lose his friend's respect! Do what? Myeongsun, quit the company! What's wrong with you?Myeongsun did nothing wrong.
– Mother, stay out of this.
– She should! – You won't budge?- Father, Please calm down.
I won't move untilI say what's on my mind.
– You aren't going?- No, just sit! – Then I will leave.
– That man! What a temper! Mother, where is he going? Where else?To the Ohdong bar, probably.
Hello! I will go get dadyou just prepare dinner, Mom.
You want to go?Okay, but get back early.
– I'll be back soon.
– Take care, Yongbeom.
– Yongbeom, bring Father home.
– Don't worry.
– Jushik, you have a lot of spunk.
– Spunk? He always picks on strangers.
You took care of him.
Frankly, I was pretty shaky.
– Help yourself.
– Thank you.
– Yongsun, Come up.
– Yes, Come here.
It's so cool.
Sit next to me.
Dad, are you all right?You drink too much! I've been miserable outsince you left home.
.
.
So I've been drinkingevery night since.
It tears my heart apart, but I think ofhow to be a good son all the time.
Oh, you are my boy.
– Have a smoke.
– No, I shouldn't! You're not a kid any more.
Even if I make a fuss withMyeongsun or Yongsun.
.
.
They will leave usto join other families.
Dad, don't thinkabout them that way.
When you're gone, they'll shed more tearsthan anyone.
Who will even know if I am dead? You are drunk, Dad.
And, Dad? If Yongsun or Myeongsunhas someone in mind let them get married this year.
No, I want to see youhave a wedding first.
– Yongbeom?- Yes? Isn't there a girl you like? To be honest, Jeomrae, who works for my company, likes me.
What?Not the other way around? I do, I like her too.
But I want my parentsto approve of her first.
Then I will tell your mother about itand pay her a visit.
– Mother already knows.
– What? Dad, please drop by my officein a few days.
The guywho came with Myeongsun, he's got guts, which is impressive.
And he's intelligentand warm-hearted.
I read his fortune from his facehe's born lucky.
Myeongsun loves him, which says it all.
I intended to drive him awaybut I didn't.
I will see how he's doing.
I am sure you will like him too.
He's a great guy.
I've kept you from Mother too longshe's waiting.
No, I'd like to stay like this.
.
.
I want to talk over thingsall night.
Oh, it could look weird, two men being so close! What's weird?We freaks, burglars or what? Mr.
Park, do you havean important appointment? – I'm going to Yongbeom's office.
– Oh, right.
– It hurts.
– Oh, sorry.
Make me a handsome, okay? I see, you're going to takea look at Yongsun's fiancee, right? You're nuts.
.
.
Why do you care aboutYongsun's life? Is there somethingon your mind? Well, the cutest girl in town is half-heartedabout getting married.
What? Half-hearted? So, even that lowlife, Jaecheon, is after her.
Speaking of which, I was thinking oftalking with you about this matter.
You know what?You are way out of her league.
Just wait and seewho Yongsun will have to marry her.
Hey, Gabdeuk! – Let me ask you something.
– What is it? Is that truethat Jaecheon quit the gang and is learning to drive? Why? You want him to be your son-in-lawif he becomes a driver? No, I'm just asking, because there's a rumor says so.
He's such a thug.
'Trust' doesn't apply to him.
Hey, Gabdeuk! – See you for a sec?- Sure.
Wait a moment, please.
What's up? You seen Jaecheon today? If you want to see him, he's at the driving school, what's up? Driving school, where? Don't worry, I know where it is.
When you see Jaecheontell him we want to see him.
I've not seen him at allfor more than a week.
Since he fell for Yongsun, he doesn't give a damn about us! Worse, he's turned against ushe'll pay for that.
Screw the driver bullshit!I'll never let him out of the gang! He must have it in for me, too.
We got a plan to teach hima lesson tonight.
– You're in, right?- Okay.
You just watch me.
It's been hours since your father went to the barber's.
What's going on? Mom, be sure to bring a photoof Yongbeom's girl friend.
Photo? I'll see.
Tell him that Jaecheon will getthe drivers' license in 10 days! – I see, don't leave home unwatched.
– Don't worry.
Okay, see you.
Jeomrae! Mr.
Park wants to see youin the backyard.
– Mr.
Park?- Yeah, hurry.
You want to see me? Ah, you're here.
I want to tell you that my parentswill be here during lunch break.
.
.
They can't wait to see you, so.
.
.
You mean I should meet themin my working clothes? Why not? Just be what you areit's what my dad wants to see.
But it will be the first timeI meet them.
It's not your clothesthat he wants to see.
Just get back to workand don't worry.
I'll call you.
– I see.
– See you later.
This is Sosa! Quickly – Honey, tickets.
– Quickly.
Here you are.
Hey, can I ask you something? – The pharmaceutical company.
.
.

Hurry up, get on! Let's go.
The bus is leaving, hurry! Oh, it's a long way? – No, I see the building.
– Where? This is a huge place! Let's askwhere Yongbeom works.

Let's go this way.
So, Did you tell herwe're here to see her? Sure I did.
– You shouldn't have told her.

What a perfect couple! – Congratulations.
– Thank you, sir.
I think this news could bea great wedding gift for you.
For me? What? The board has decided to set upa branch in Thailand.
.
.
And to appoint youthe first manager for the branch.
– Me?- You don't seem excited.
It's only for a married couple and the transfer will beas long as 5 years.
Of course, you could feel uneasyabout your old parents, so.
.
.
I can't thank you enough, sir! But I'd be gratefulif you'd let me think it over for awhile.
Certainly.
Anyway, it's your call and you have 50 days.
But I'd be happy if you don't miss this chanceof a lifetime.
It's so thoughtful of you.
I'll try to talk my parentsinto agreeing to this plan.
It would be best if you get marriedthen leave as a family.
Yes, sir.
These arethe forms you must fill out.
Thank you, sir.
Okay, back to work.
– Just Do your best.
– Of course.
Sorry for your parents, but you shouldn't missa once in a life time chance.
But I'm not surehow they will take this because they'reso attached to me.
.
.
They are wise enough tolook at it on a long term basis.
When I left home, they went through lonely nights at first.
If you are so uncomfortable with itI will tell Father.
No, I will get the paper work doneand wait for the best timing.
Everything will work out.
Cheer up.
We can give themenough financial support before we leave.
You have no ideawhat they really want from me.
But I believethey'll be on your side.
What? You turn against meafter 10 years? My marriage is not for youto do with as you please.
Aunt, there's nothing more to say.
It's all done.
All done? When your father diedhe asked me to look after you.
And you're the head of this family linefor three generations.
Have you no regard foryour family's reputation? You know better than anyonethat I've been alone all my life! So please supportmy choice of the woman with whom I want to spend my life! Not if it means sitting back, watching you mess up your life with a scheming uneducated slut! I don't want to talk about it any more.
This is my life.
Stay out of it.
You idiot! Your auntjust doesn't see meas a worthy fiancee, right? But she's up to something elseshe thinks this big fuss will work.
.
.
to claim a large share ofmy inheritance.
But she didn't even see me in personand hates me? It's so upsetting.
I want to see her right away and tell herhow much we love each other.
No need to botherat the moment.
Trouble fades away as time passes.
There is another stiff necked personother than my dad.
Don't worry.
Whatever scheme she concocts, I'll be with you forever.
There is only one woman for me, it's you, Myeongsun.
But you are not assertive enoughso I'm nervous.
Myeongsun, let's not talkabout my aunt any more.
If we remain steadfast, nothing will stop us.
Jushik, sorryI am no help in this matter.
But don't worry so much.
Just think of my dad.
First, he didn't even wantto say hello to you, but.
.
.
Once he saw your sincerity.
.
.
He's told me 'Do whatever it takesfor Jushik to be with you! '.

Jaecheon's aunt's? Jaecheon has been employedas a driver for his aunt.
We must Do whateverIt takes to bring her back.
Absolutely.
You're sure? She is there? Let's go there and bring her back.
I can't wait around helplesslylosing my daughter.
Hello, yes, that's right.

I need to talk with your father.

– And the medical checkup?- All done by tomorrow.
Dad is okay with things? I will push him harder.
Let's go home, sweetie.
What's worse, your brother is asking dad to allow him to leave the country.
.
.
So your dad is resentfuland I'm in an awkward situation.
I'll go back home onlywhen Jaecheon sees dad.
An unmarried young girl liveswith her boy friend, People will talk! Dad is here too, so just say hello to him.
I won't.
Damn.
Honey, just tell her youforgive her and bring her home.
She looks miserable.
– When is Jaecheon back from work?- Around midnight.
So, she won't go home? Honey, just coax her.
Go on.
.
.
What for? If she wants, let her have her own way! Please! 'Sorry' is notthe most difficult word to say! But she doesn't want to see me, so why should I? Deep down inside, she wants to see you, trust me.
No, I'm out of here!You stay over with her.
What an unbelievable old dog! – Hello, dad.
– Is It dinner time? You alone? Where is Mother?Did you see Yongsun? She's with Yongsun tonight.
– Shall I set dinner for you?- Don't think so.
Give me water.
Jushik's aunt wants to seeyou at 8:00 at her house.

I guess it's about their weddingso you should be there.
– Where does she live?- I know where It is.
It sounds important, Dad.
– Okay, let's go.
– Dress up and wear the watch! Cut it out! How I look doesn't matterin your marriage! – Let me get changed and escort you.
– Hurry.

– Thanks You are Myeongsun's father, yes? Yes, I am Mr.
Park.
I am sorry to visit this late.

– lf anyone calls, I'm not home!- Yes, ma'am.
– Have tea.
– I had had enough.
It's a tea bag, go ahead.
You don't? You don't know how to have tea? Remove the paper wrapper! Damn! What?Is there something wrong? Yes! You know.
.
.
Considering you'rejust a repairman of fire pits! I'm convinced that I'm the best.
.
.
In my neighborhoodfew fire pits haven't been fixed by me! Oh, what a splendid job you have! Mr.
Park, I wanted to see you because.
.
.
I want to tell youto make your daughter end her relationshipwith my nephew.
What? Did she do something wrongto him or to you? Not really, but please understandJushik is far out of her league.
To begin with, she's not a college graduate.
And I arranged for a girl inHawaii State University to be his fiancee.
Face facts.
An uneducated temptresscertainly cannot be part of my family.
He had no parents to warn him, so she must have allured him.
My grandfather was a noblemanat the turn of the century.
Is this What you wantedto see me for? Certainly.
To make it easy for you, an uneducated repairman, to understand.
.
.
She is trying to bite offmore than she can chew.
So, as a father, you should stop her, if you have any sense.
You should not getabove your station.
Jushik will never marry your daughter, understood? End of story, get out of here! You, dog, bark, bark! Are you also froma snobbish family line? Mr.
Park, here you are! You've come throughthis pouring rain! Do you want tohave some rice liquor? What's wrong?Have you been quarreling? You stubborn! Dad, you are so late! You're soaked! Was the meeting okay? You are so drunk! Yongbeom, should the tea steep in the bag? Or should the bag be rippedand the tea stirred into the water? What do you mean? I mean the tea bag.
.
.
I should tear the paperor just leave it in the cup? You just leave it there.
– What happened?- What happened? Why didn't you tell me? – Dad, what's wrong?- I feel so.
.
.
Father, just tell us.
What happened? Myeongsun I will workmy fingers to the bone for you.
Go to college.
Blame me for everythingI deserve it! Yongbeom, don't mind us.
Go to Thailand.
Do something for your future! I've been proud of you, all my life.
