Let's start this game, okay?
- Ready, start! - Start!
Batman!
That's not right at all.
Really?
Keep trying.
Batman!
Who wants dinner?
Me, me! Give me dinner!
Me! I'll have dinner!
Turn that off.
I'll be at Taek's.
Are you coming home early tonight?
I think I'm going to forget what my second son looks like.
I'm meeting up with the gang, so I think I'll be late.
He hasn't seen them in so long. Why would he come home early?
Open up!
Stay out late if you'd like.
We can see you tomorrow, I suppose.
I'm sorry. I'll get going now.
Okay, go ahead. I'm sure they're waiting.
This is that age when you want to spend all of your time with your friends, huh?
I guess he's all grown up now.
Right?
I liked it when he was in high school. Those were good times.
I'm going out. I'm meeting the gang.
All right, have fun then.
- Have fun. - Bye.
What is it? Why are you standing there like that?
You should go inside.
- Okay. Get going. - Yep.
What the heck is with that girl?
It's been so long since she came back. She can't have one meal with her family?
It's been a while since she's seen her friends.
Why? Do you feel hurt?
Should I tell her to come home early?
Why would I feel hurt? I don't feel that way at all.
I'm hungry. Just give me some rice.
Let's wait to eat with Bo Ra. She should be here soon.
Did she call? Is she on her way home?
Oh, so she's going to sleep here tonight?
Don't come back, Duk Seon!
Hey, it's been a week now. Are you that busy?
Yes, I am busy, Mom.
Jin Joo, aren't you going to say hello to your brother?
You've changed so much.
I used to be your favorite person.
You act like you're the busiest person ever.
When you come home, all you do is sleep.
You think I should apologize first?
But I don't want to.
Just say sorry first.
- It makes you the bigger person. - Oh, really?
But then I would lose.
Jin Joo, don't speak so casually with me.
Aren't you going to fix that? You want to get in trouble with me?
What's wrong with losing?
Back when you fought with Kyung Hee, she apologized to you first.
Did you feel like Kyung Hee was losing to you?
You didn't, right?
You're right. Okay, okay.
Why isn't Taek here yet? Does he know that it's his birthday?
Of course, he knows that much.
Do you think he's stuck somewhere, trying to find a parking spot?
Go outside, check on him.
Ah, that punk.
Hey, get out.
I'll park it. Go home without me.
- I'll do it. - Why, I ought to just...
The family is waiting for you. Just go.
I'm home.
You're here?
Taek, why are you so late? The glass noodles are probably cold now!
Get washed up. The kids will be here soon.
Okay.
Jin Joo, this is for you.
Oh, yeah!
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Taek!
Happy birthday to you!
Choi Taek, you need to get here earlier! We're all busy too, man.
Blow out the candles.
One, two, three!
Yeah!
Hey, Jung Pal. You bought it, right?
Yeah... here's your present.
Wow, you guys bought a nice one.
Are you a primitive human?
You're probably the only person alive without a beeper... seriously.
What's this? It's actually tasty!
She's been going to cooking school.
We wrote down our numbers, so beep us.
I don't need a beeper.
- We need it, okay? Really... - Hey...
I don't know how to use it.
There isn't much to it. Just call the number that's flashing.
All right.
I feel great every time I come here. I really like this room.
What do you mean?
It's always the same, no matter what.
It's like my grandfather's place. It's very pleasant.
Yeah, but honestly, you really need to buy a computer.
The millennium is coming up.
Wow, you've improved a lot. You even know such fancy terms.
Are you kidding me? My TOEIC score was 700.
Oh, Duk Seon ranked 989th.
You've really made something of yourself.
Is Jung Bong doing well?
How is he doing, preparing for his law exam?
These days, my brother is a chat room administrator.
Jung Bong leads a quiz room.
He's the leader of a chat room that learns through quizzes.
What?
My brother isn't studying. He's doing nothing.
Oh...
If you think about it, Bo Ra really toughed it out.
She succeeded in the end, you know?
She lived in that room. She didn't come home for the holidays.
She's scary. She really is.
She's just too much. She's really too much.
[Quiz Chat Room]
[Quiz Chat Room - Five Users]
All right now.
[James Bond: 1. Commonality Quiz]
[James Bond: 2. Rubber James Bond: 3. Mute]
[Mermaid Princess: Please give me some sugar.]
[Lunch Rice: Gloves!]
[James Bond: Congratulations on the gloves.]
The level in here is pretty high.
Let's keep going.
A shapely body....
Why is that guy coming out on stage and singing like that, in a skirt?
He looks like he would be very popular with girls.
He's so good-looking that he even looks good in that skirt.
He's a singer-songwriter. He's very good at writing songs too.
I don't think Kim Won Joon's good looks do him any favors.
I'm sure he gets slightly better feedback for his looks than you get for yours.
What do you mean? My classmates tell me I look so young.
Don't hang out with people like that.
They're not very honest.
Bo Ra, do you have any side dishes left? Do you have kimchi?
Should I make you some anchovies before you go?
How is Hyun Joo? No baby yet? They haven't been fighting, right?
Make sure you're being safe. You've been locking your door, right?
Oh, right, I forgot to tell you.
You have to pour water into the washing machine and let it spin for a while.
Mom, one at a time. Just ask one at a time.
I should, shouldn't I?
And this is Sung Bo Ra.
You could drop her in the middle of the Amazon and she'd be fine. Don't worry.
Yeah, I'm not a child.
I eat well, and I'm quite fine, so don't worry about me.
Hey, kids, your mom is doing this because she's very lonely these days.
Bo Ra, you visit every two or three weeks and when you do, you stay with friends.
Duk Seon sleeps at her friend's place by the airport, and never comes home.
No Eul's always preparing for his shows, and he stays out all night.
This half-basement house is so empty.
That's why she acts like this.
You should come home earlier too. You always have work-related issues.
You come home so late.
If it's going to be like this
I don't see a point in saving up and moving into an apartment.
Then, are you going to live here forever?
- What are you saying? - Of course not!
That's not what I'm saying at all...
Hello?
Yes, hold on.
Here, take this.
Yes, speaking?
What!
Okay... okay, I got it.
I'll be there. All right.
Wow, was there an incident again?
My goodness, what's going on? Dongdaemun branch accounting...
The one in charge of accounting. That jerk ran off with one billion won.
- Oh, my! - I'm going to have to go.
You should finish eating. Who knows when you could come back, right?
We don't know where he'll run now. I have to go and investigate.
Well, I'm sorry about this Bo Ra.
I'm going to have to step out. Finish eating... where's my bag?
I'm getting so sick of this.
Oh, sorry. Go on, keep eating.
Bye.
Dad's going to be retiring soon. Can't he transfer to another department?
Your dad still has lots of energy in him.
He should earn money while he still can.
He still has a few good years left in him.
He's just fine.
Where is Duk Seon, anyway?
I thought she didn't have any flights today or tomorrow.
Where else? The gang has gathered.
In Taek's room.
It's Choi Taek 9-dan's birthday.
Jung Hwan is up from Sacheon too.
Dong Ryong left work early too.
Oh, right! Sun Woo left early too.
Sun Woo never seems to come home because he's always studying.
- He must be here for Taek's birthday. - I guess.
He's a good-looking boy. Why isn't he dating?
What are you saying, Mom? I've seen him a few times.
- Sun Woo dates just fine. - Really?
Then... is Jung Hwan the problem?
I suppose it may be hard to date while living over in Sacheon.
Mom, just worry about your own daughters.
Why is it, that neither of my sisters can ever bring home a single guy?
No one even dials the wrong number by accident.
Do you want to die?
The men in this country have such good taste... they're so smart.
It's been a while, hasn't it? You must have a death wish!
- Hey, now. - You're just asking for a beating.
You must want to die or something.
Now this house feels alive again.
Hey, I'm really popular too.
I'm supposed to meet him tomorrow for a movie.
I'm the one who says no.
He was good-looking. Don't get dumped this time, Duk Seon.
Why would I get dumped?
Who got dumped? I always did the dumping.
- All right, all right. - Sure, you dumped them.
This time, it was you who dumped the guy.
She makes sure to do it the once.
Geez. But when did guys you see him anyway?
Earlier, I saw him drop you off.
We all saw him together.
Hey, he seemed normal.
Of course, he's normal. Why wouldn't he be?
Are you talking about the guy that the senior introduced you to?
So you're still dating well. You haven't been dumped.
Seriously, I don't get dumped!
I'm the one who usually dumps guys!
- Okay! - You always dump them.
- You always dump them. We got it, okay? - We got it, definitely!
I'm being serious. I dumped them. I dumped them!
I dumped them!
- We said, okay! - We said, okay!
Duk Seon says she dumped them.
I said I dumped them. It was me!
Okay, Duk Seon. But, Duk Seon?
You got dumped, right?
You want to die! I dumped him!
I dumped him. Seriously, I did.
A stereo that knows how I feel... Samsung!
Oh, wow... that stereo knows how you feel.
It's better than a person.
Don't you think that I dance better than those people?
Do you even have to ask?
Oh, you!
Hey, we're here.
What are you doing and why is the door open?
It's cold.
Because we knew you were coming!
This place is quiet too.
Yeah, without the kids around, it sure is quiet.
I called you to come over for some soju, but the line was busy.
Did you make sure to hang up the phone properly?
Oh, about that...
- Well... - Huh? What?
Okay.
[James Bond: 1. Commonality Quiz]

[Mermaid Princess: Apollo 13 Nero Wolfe: Sputnik]
[Lunch Rice: Star Wars]
[Maggie's Memories: Blue Marble]
Oh!
[James Bond: Congratulations Blue Marble]
Hey... You didn't start already, did you?
Are we playing Go-Stop today?
Teacher Yoo has something to do at school.
And your husband isn't home either.
It's not fun without those two guys.
There was an article published about Taek earlier today, right?
Yes, did you see it already?
A famous actress said Taek was her ideal type of guy.
Look at that.
We saw that too.
This isn't really news. It'll die down eventually.
If you can find someone good, you should just marry him off.
Oh, no, no. I don't like celebrities.
It would make me happy if he met a regular person.
I'd like that too.
And plus, Taek will figure it out on his own.
I think he goes on a lot of blind dates, and even meetings for arranged marriages.
But the relationships don't last long.
Oh my, I thought Taek was just a naive boy.
But he goes on meetings for arranged marriages.
Yeah! He is up at that age now.
Also, it doesn't help that he can't say no to people.
What happens if a president of something, or a senior, asks him?
He'll just go out, eat his meal, and come home.
I'm sure that if he keeps that up, something is bound to stick.
I'm sure the kids are teasing him about this article, as we speak.
Hey, is Shim So Hyun crazy?
Why does she like him?
Does she know that you can't tie your own shoelaces?
I'm disappointed in Shim So Hyun.
I was a big fan of hers.
Hey, you go on the most blind dates out of all of us.
So why are you so bad at dating?
Are you setting your sights too high?
Ah, you guys must not know him very well.
Hey. You, be quiet.
He just keeps getting dumped.
Why is that?
At first, they meet him, and they're amazed at the fact that he's Choi Taek.
But after a while, they get frustrated.
He doesn't talk!
Oh, you punk.
I tried very hard.
- Hey, try harder! - Try harder. More!
- Duk Seon? - Yeah.
Why don't you set something up for us?
Forget it. I don't want to get cursed by any of you.
What's wrong with us? A four-way date, including Taek.
You're okay with it, right?
If I have time.
Jung Pal, you said you're training in Seoul for a bit.
- You join in, too. - I don't want to. What for?
It'll all be pointless once I go to Sacheon anyway...
Sacheon, Sacheon, Sacheon!
You have no sense of romanticism...
Hey Jung Pal. Turn on some music. Are there any CDs?
CDs? As if Taek would have any CDs.
Then turn on anything.
Oh, good choice. Good choice.
I'm going to sleep.
Duk Seon, you should sleep here too.
Are you trying to ruin my future plans for marriage?
I'm leaving after this song.
[Episode 18: Goodbye, First Love]
But instead, they decided the best way for me to fight the communists
was to play ping pong.
So I was in the special services.
Traveling around the country and showing wounded veterans how to play ping pong.
I was so good, that some years later
the army decided that I should be on the All-American ping pong team.
We were the first Americans to visit the land of China in like a million years.
Something like that...
What about Bo Ra's dad?
He's even working on a Sunday?
Every time something happens at the bank, he runs right off.
My husband is working so hard, just to make a little bit of money.
I should make him some herbal medicine.
Oh, I don't know about you ladies.
I don't feel like it's a waste to spend money on my children, whatsoever.
But when I'm about to spend money on my husband, my hands start to shake.
- Is it just me? - Everyone's like that.
When Jung Bong or Jung Hwan come in late and ask me for food
I hurl my blanket off of me
and prepare food that I don't even think of making for sacrificial rites.
I'll make side dishes, fish, pork wraps.
But when Jung Bong's dad asks for ramen late at night...
Suddenly, I get this anger, rising up from my stomach...
I could just give him a flying kick!
But even with my flying kick...
I think... my poor husband.
He works so hard to earn money, and he can't even make himself ramen.
I tell myself that I should be understanding, and hold it in.
But then, when he asks me to cook late at night...
the anger just rises out of me!
I'm so hot!
It's cold in here! Wear something over that!
Stop getting angry!
It's been a while since Jung Hwan has been home.
Have you seen him as much as you've wanted to?
Yeah, as he walked out.
He hasn't been in Seoul for so long. So he must have lots to do and buy.
I can't really see his face.
Of course, that's how it goes!
He's so young, and he's been in Sacheon all this time.
He must be so happy when he's in Seoul.
And on top of that, he likes his friends so much.
How about you? Have you seen a lot of Sun Woo and Taek?
Those two are the busiest in that group.
I saw them quite a lot, already.
I saw them when they had their eyes closed.
Taek?
Taek, let's have breakfast.
It looks like he lost some weight.
He lost some in his cheeks.
He lost some weight in his nose too.
Oh, dear.
Moo Sung, he's not dead, is he?
No, he's breathing.
He looks dead.
We have someone in our house who sleeps all the time too.
Oh, I think I know who you're talking about.
Our little Duk Seon is too diligent, so it can't be her.
It's Bo Ra, isn't it?
So, is Bo Ra going to become a prosecutor?
A judge, or a lawyer?
Her dream is to become a prosecutor.
Will she pass the background checks? Since she was involved in those protests?
The regime has changed, so she should be okay.
As for me... I'm okay with anything.
Congratulations.
I don't know when my Jung Bong will... my goodness...
Come on, you need to catch your breath. Come on...
That little bit won't get you drunk.
[Judicial Research and Training Center]
What's that?
A wedding invitation. They're the sixth successful couple that I've set up.
That's some talent.
This must be my skill, not law.
You haven't forgotten about your date on Sunday, have you?
I'm only doing it, just this once. I really don't like this stuff.
Okay, okay.
By the way, Bo Ra...
- He's younger than you. - What?
You got totally lucky!
He's a Yonsei Medical School third-year, and he's three years younger than you.
My brother really likes him, he's his student.
They say that he's a genius.
I'm only introducing him to you, because it's you!
But his nickname is... Garbage.
- What? - It's fine!
He's garbage, but he's genius garbage.
Hey, it's better for guys to be that way.
People who are clean freaks are a real pain!
Just try meeting him once, okay?
Okay, I got it.
Hey, Michael. Did you get the past exams for Hematology?
How can you sleep right now?
Sun Woo, studying is not the most important thing in the world.
Making connections!
You've done all you can. Now wait for God's will.
Don't you know that?
Okay, but did you get them? You said that you were friendly with him.
He should be here by now.
Hey there, President Kim!
Hey there, President Kim.
- Nice to see you. - Nice to see you.
What about the goods?
I brought them. Pay up. 61 billion won.
- I'll put it in your account. - Here you go.
Thanks. I owe you, big time.
It's so obvious that you're from Seoul. No need to feel indebted to me.
Hey, what's your beeper number?
You owe me a coupon. Pay me back, okay?
Okay, it's 015-273-0917.
0917?
Okay.
Michael, I'll get going. The professor is paging me.
See you.
Thanks!
- Nice to see you, nice to see you. - Nice to see you, nice to see you!
Oh, dear.
Il Hwa.
- I'm home. - Oh.
Come in.
Oh yeah, Il Hwa.
Can you wake me up early in the morning?
I have some important documents to prepare for the bank.
Wash up before you go to bed.
Wait, I just want to lay down for a bit.
Ah...
This is why home is nice.
Here we go...
Get these off...
Jung Hwan is going to be late tonight.
He's going to Dong Ryong's restaurant for a drink after his training.
Oh, I made his favorite cutlass fish.
I guess he'll have to eat it in the morning.
Jung Bong! Are you finished?
Wash the sponge next to the sink too!
Mother, do you have anything else that you need me to do?
Yes, there is one thing.
What is it?
Study.
Well, then...
Let's go now.
I have no money.
Every time... seriously.
How much is it?
Let's see. You had five servings of ribs and three bottles of soju.
We had three sodas too.
The sodas will be on the house.
So, 65,000 won plus 6,000 won.
It's 71,000 won. But just give me 70,000 won.
70,000 won. Here you go.
- Here you are. - Thank you.
- Sell lots! - Thank you. Bye.
Brother, I'll finish up here. You can go home first.
Okay, I'll go home then.
Jung Hwan, drink everything in our restaurant tonight!
Yes, Sir! Thank you!
- Where are the others? - They're coming.
When did these kids grow up and start drinking already?
Hey, you bought Park Jin Young's first album too?
Yeah, I got it when I was shopping for someone else.
I really liked his songs.
They have audio systems on combat planes?
Combat would be pretty great.
You're crazy...
Hey, do you remember when we met Park Jin Young in high school?
He was number two.
Wow, you've got quite the brain.
I was matched up against someone really great.
Matched up? You ran away immediately.
I just can't lie to you guys...
What are you reading? What are you looking at?
[Nice to meet you, Nonri] You taking your college entrance exam?
Seriously.
It was just laying there.
Nice to meet what?
Seriously, this is a book that you should never read.
You, have no romanticism.
Why don't you ever date?
What do you mean? I have.
When?
Is it dating when you go on some blind dates and meet up for a couple of months?
And you barely even go on blind dates.
Don't use Sacheon as an excuse.
People in Sacheon meet and date just fine.
And what about that?
Do you still have that ring you got when you graduated from Air Force Academy?
What? The fianc?e ring?
Wow, that's an awesome name.
Give that to me. I'll use it.
It's been a year since you graduated, and you still have it?
Just give it to anybody.
I don't even have a girlfriend. Who would I give it to?
Should I give it to a girl that I just met? That's embarrassing.
It's more embarrassing that you still have it.
Who is that? That girl who I met briefly...
She was okay. Why didn't you give it to her?
Man, you're going to die without ever telling anyone how you feel inside.
You don't have a romantic bone in your body.
I'll give it to you. You have it.
Oh, really? You're giving it to me?
I'm going to give it to my next girlfriend.
I'm going to get married and have kids. I'm ruined...
Thanks for taking care of it.
Wait, wait... let's drink together.
Let's drink together.
I think I know why.
I think I know why you don't date. Hold on...
The reason you don't date is... Oh, what's that?
Let's see now. Where is Jung Hwan?
- What are you doing? - Where is Jung Hwan?
What are you two doing?
This guy is crazy.
- Oh! - Hey!
You're the last one to leave today, too. Let's head out together.
Do you want a ride?
Oh... it's okay. I'm all right.
You really don't need to.
Also, my girlfriend is here, downstairs.
Oh, is the top flight attendant here? It'll be far, all the way to Hongik-dong.
Hello, Choi Taek 9-dan. Nice to meet you again.
Hello.
Oh, I hear you're meeting Duk Seon today.
Yes, my friends are getting together.
I really should buy Duk Seon a meal sometime.
Don't worry about it.
I set her up with a college junior of mine.
I think they've been dating lately.
I heard they went to see a movie last week.
I'm helping them along.
Today, I even gave her concert tickets for Lee Seung Hwan.
Oh, the concert is this Sunday. Would you like to go too?
I'm close to the person running it, so I can get some tickets.
I can cover the concert tickets.
No, I'll be fine.
He's a fan of Wild Chrysanthemum.
Please enjoy your date.
Please tell Duk Seon that I said hello.
Okay.
- Should we get going too? - Yes.
Master Choi.
It's nice to have Jung Pal here in Seoul, getting the chance to see him more often.
I kind of brought my car here today.
Tell Duk Seon to drive. She quit drinking.
Why? Is something going on?
- It won't last long. - Sounds like a lie.
That's what I said.
She couldn't drink at all before, but now she's all grown up and drinking.
Our Soo Yeon.
I haven't heard that in ages, Sung Soo Yeon.
How did you remember that?
I wonder how that fortune teller is doing.
She got everything right, in the end.
Hi, everyone! I'm here!
Long time, Soo Yeon.
- Sung Soo Yeon! - Oh, you're here.
- Sung Soo Yeon, Sung Soo Yeon... - Hurry up. Why are you so late?
Should I just kill them all?
I ought to just move to another neighborhood.
You all know too much about me.
How do I just clean my slate entirely?
Why are you drinking soda? You're really not drinking?
I've started taking herbal medicine.
You want to be healthier?
You're plenty healthy now, but you want to be healthier?
What will happen then?
It must be going well with that guy you're dating.
It's obvious. I say it'll last one month.
Why do you say that?
I may be cold rice here, but it's different elsewhere.
- Where would that be? - Hey!
Hey, let's not lie to each other.
Seriously, you guys, I'm going to watch a concert with him this Sunday too!
You're just lying now!
No, she's not lying. I heard it directly from Director Yoo.
See, see? What do you take Sung Duk Seon for?
I'm a busy woman on the weekends.
I don't have time to watch movies with my neighborhood friends.
- Sunday? - Yeah, are you going too?
Hey, we're all supposed to go watch "Forrest Gump" together.
- I saw that already. - Hey!
- You have no loyalty. - Hey...
I saw it with him.
Why would I watch it with you guys? Such a waste of time...
- I saw it too. - Hey!
I forgot. I'm sorry.
The people at Baduk Club wanted to see it so much.
Well, I haven't seen it. How about you, Jung Hwan?
I haven't either.
Hey, three guys shouldn't go watch a movie together.
What kind of image does that put forth?
So, what is this? You guys see me as a girl, then?
All right, all right, I'll cancel the Lee Seung Hwan concert then.
I'll go watch the movie with you guys.
What can I do?
- Hey, you get out! - Just go!
Just go home already!
- I'd rather go with No Eul! - I just won't go then.
I'd rather go with my dad.
- I'll just not go then. - I'll just go with Dong Ryong.
Are you still here?
- Aren't you leaving? - Stop talking about that guy.
Can you give me a drink?
I can't. You have to drive.
What's with your hat? Go outside and paint something!
I don't want to go home. I really don't want to...
My dad... my dad is home.
I'm going.
With all of us here like this, it brings back the past, right?
It was fun back then, even though I was always in last place.
Right, Duk Seon?
989, Duk Seon. Those days were good, right?
He's really drunk. He's spouting nonsense.
Get inside. You'll fall.
I'm going. I'm going to wake up my dad.
Bye. Goodbye, my friend.
It's not "friend". It's "friends". Friends!
It's plural, you dummy.
Okay, good point. Goodbye, my friends!
- Dad! - Bye.
Mom, I'm home.
You sleep at home every day lately.
You're a good girl.
You too, Mom.
You're being very diligent about taking your medicine.
Of course, you know who bought it for me. I have to take it diligently.
What's wrong with Dad lately? His face doesn't look good.
Your father has a lot of work.
Every week, someone runs off with the bank's money.
It's causing such a fuss.
Can't he stop working now?
Bo Ra has a stream of income and so do I.
His face really doesn't look good.
There's no need for such talk.
The day your dad stops working, is that day that he'll get sick.
It's okay.
I was going to buy him some herbal medicine tomorrow anyway.
Okay.
Is that you, Jung Hwan?
Yes.
- Good night. - Okay.
- Sleep well, my son. - Okay.
Are you just getting in?
Yes. Were you still awake?
I wanted to wait for you.
Did you drink?
A little.
Then don't take any sleeping pills before bed. Got that?
Alcohol is better than the pills, at least.
Okay?
Yes. Go to bed.
Okay.

Banjul Cafe.
Banjul...
Dean Yoo, you should sleep in sometimes.
Today is Sunday.
The same could be said for you.
Can't you close the store on Sundays?
There are no customers. Why do you insist on being open?
I feel like if I don't do this, I'll age a lot faster than I'm aging.
Yes.
Geez.
At this rate, you'll wear yourself out.
Why do you have to go in on a Sunday?
It's just for a moment. I'll be there for a bit and I'll come right back.
I just can't deal with this...
Well, the thing is...
I'm just bringing this up now.
I'm sure you've heard about this too.
- What? What is it? - Oh...
It's called... voluntary resignation.
I really only have four or five good years left in me.
If you apply for voluntary resignation, you get twice the retirement payments.
No, you can't.
You can't ever do that.
Yeah, of course not.
That's why I didn't say anything, and I'm just mentioning it in passing.
Neither of our daughters are even married yet.
What would we say to the in-laws?
That you're unemployed?
You can't do that.
There's No Eul too.
You have to stick with that bank until all of our kids are married.
- Do you understand? - Of course.
Of course, I'll stay there.
I was just mentioning it.
Look at the time already.
- Why? Just eat a little bit more. - I'll get going now.
I'm heading out!
I'm meeting some classmates and then going to see a movie.
Oh... be careful on the road.
Drive carefully.
Slowly, okay? Drive slowly.
Okay, Mom. I'm not a child.
This is your first message.
I'm so sorry.
I don't think I'll be able to make it to the concert tonight.
I'm being very rude because this is related to a personal issue.
And I have no excuses to make.
I am really sorry.
- Duk Seon. - Yeah?
Can you buy some bean sprouts? Oh, are you heading out?
No, I'll go buy them. Do you need anything else?
Well, then can you buy some pork while you're out too?
- I'll get you the money. - No, no. I have money.
Bean sprouts and pork, right?
Stop talking so much and get going. Don't be later than you already are.
Okay. I have lots of time!
- Get going, Taek. - Okay.
Hey!
Hey, what are you doing?
I thought you were going the concert.
Why do you still look like that?
Ah, you got dumped again?
You did come home alone yesterday.
You got dumped. You did.
That's not true. I'm going to the concert right now.
That's a great outfit for a concert!
I have to run to Lee Seung Hwan.
Is that it?
Get in. I'll drive you there.
- Deal. - Get in.
Open it gently, will you?
Shut it gently, seriously.
Let's go.
Duk Seon, my driving can be a little rough, so you hold on tight.
All right, let's go!
- See you later, Jung Hwan. - Okay.
Yeah, let's go!
Oh, hey... it's raining outside.
What are you talking about? The sun was just shining.
I suppose a tiger is getting married today.
When is Sun Woo getting here anyway?
He said he was working in the morning.
Hold on a minute.
I gave him your number, so he'll beep you when he arrives.
[Kim Jae Joon, 012-387-0527]
Is there supposed to be rain today?
- What about Choi Taek 9-dan? - He's in the bathroom.
What?
Isn't that cheating?
It's not really cheating. I didn't know either.
He had a long-time girlfriend.
He got into a big fight with her and went on the blind date out of anger.
Geez, I feel so bad for Duk Seon.
Then, is Duk Seon waiting by herself right now?
Did he contact her?
Of course, he's not that awful.
He left her a voice mail on the beeper, saying that he couldn't go.
That's a relief.
But Duk Seon is behaving quite--
She went to watch it on her own.
- What? - She said the tickets would go to waste.
If it were me, I would never go.
Why would you introduce her to a junior like that?
- Who was it? - Sun Woo.
- He can't come. - What? Why?
Something came up.
What plans, all of a sudden?
Isn't it obvious?
Do... Do I really have to watch this with you?
Oh! Isn't that the guy that Duk Seon was set up with?
Why is that jerk here right now?
That punk...
Ah! Duk Seon got dumped again.
Geez, that idiot.
I was a national celebrity, famouser even than Captain Kangaroo.
Here he is, Forrest Gump. Right here.
Jung Hwan, don't you think I look a little bit like Tom Hanks?
Hey, Jung Hwan, give me the pamphlet.
You did come home alone yesterday.
You got dumped. You did.
That's not true. I'm going to the concert right now.
That's a great outfit for a concert!
I have to run to Lee Seung Hwan.
Wow, Jung Pal! That's all CG.
Hollywood's technology is just, wow...
Forrest! Forrest...
Jenny!
Where do you find a girl like that?
What happens next?
Hey! Where...
Sorry.
Press one to page, press two to leave a message...
Hey, Wang Jo Hyun. This is a rare opportunity.
These are free tickets... free tickets! Hurry up! Run!
And bring some clothes and shoes when you come here, okay?
Hurry up and come, okay? You have to come!
The show is going to start soon.
Your boyfriend must not be here yet.
Are you Garbage?
Why are you here?
How did you know to come here?
Fate doesn't come to you, at just any time.
At the very least, if you want to use the term fate
it should happen, often at the most dramatic moments brought by coincidence.
That's what makes it fate.
That's why, another term for fate, is timing.
If I had not been caught at any of those damn traffic lights...
If any of those red lights had helped me, even once...
I could be standing in front of her, as if it were fate.
My first love was always held back by that thing they call timing.
That damn timing.
Are you Garbage?
What's with you?
Why are you here?
You answer first.
Hey, what's your beeper number?
You owe me a coupon. Pay me back, okay?
Okay, it's 015-273-0917.
- 0917? - Yes.
Okay.
Michael, I'll get going. The professor is paging me.
You got that?
I'm only setting you up because you're my favorite.
Okay.
Ouch!
Mom!
Are you very hurt?
You're in front of the supermarket?
I'll be right there.
You have one message.
It's me, Garbage. Kim Jae Joon.
I need to cash in that coupon today.
You need to go on a blind date for me.
It's at 5:00 p.m., at Myung-dong Gamu.
I'll buy you lunch when I see you. Please help me out, just this once.
Something really important just came up. Thanks!
Jung.
Next is baduk news.
On the 16th, at the Hongik Baduk Club, for the first scheduled match of the day
Korea's player, Choi Taek 9-dan surprised everyone by forfeiting the match.
This is Choi Taek's first forfeit since he started his professional career.
He informed the organization, and club, that this was a personal matter.
And he apologized to his opponent, Lim Ji Yeon, as well.
The reason for his forfeit was personal, and as such, we don't know any details.
Choi Taek 9-dan who is usually...
In the end, fate and timing...
do not just happen, out of coincidence.
They are products of earnest, simple choices, that make up miraculous moments.
Being resolute, making decisions without hesitation...
That is what makes timing.
He wanted her more than I did. And I should have been more courageous.
It was not the traffic light's fault.
It was not timing.
It was my many hesitations.
You're really something.
He's someone from my school, and my department.
How could you go on a blind date with my classmate?
I guess you don't think of me at all anymore.
I thought that there might be a one percent chance it would be you.
But then I was told his nickname was "Garbage".
"Ah, then, that one percent chance is gone."
But then I thought about it again.
I should consider another one percent chance.
I wanted you to hear about it.
Same school, same department. A classmate.
I hoped you would hear about it.
I wanted you to hear...
And I know this next one is really a one percent chance...
I hoped, maybe you might still like me.
Can we start over again?
I came here with that hope.
Sun Woo, I know this sounds crazy.
I missed you.
Hey, I really didn't get stood up.
Yeah, I know.
He was supposed to come, but he got into a big accident on the way here.
I'm not cold.
I'm hot. Just wear it.
I really didn't get stood up.
Life is like a box of chocolates.
You never know what you're going to get.
You may get a bitter chocolate.
There's nothing you can do about it.
That's the fate that I have chosen.
There are no regrets, no tears...
And there is no need for heartbreak.
Oh... it's Lee Seung Hwan.
They play some very old songs here.
I went to see a lot of Lee Seung Hwan concerts.
I listen to him a lot at home.
But, aren't we doing too many interviews?
It's just that I feel a little bad for my husband.
It's okay, if you want to keep asking me.
My husband usually doesn't like interviews.
And my sister asked me to do this, so I just agreed to do it.
I'm all right with it.
I'm working out of my home office now, so I have time.
Oh, you're here.
Oh, you're here again.
Please do a good job. Thank you.
You can head home first.
I won't bother you today. You can go work.
It's not a bother. I like interviews.
It's fine. You can go.
- I'll go now. - Okay.
- Hey. - Yeah?
Honey, can you throw out the garbage in the food waste bin?
I did that already.
I did that on the way to the comic book store.
Hey... stop reading comic books.
You didn't borrow those weird comics again, did you?
Stop reading comic books. Think of how that looks.
Okay.
Thank you.
Do a good job.
What are you doing? This is scary!
Taek's sleeping and you're sleeping.
Do you guys just come here to sleep?
Why do you bother coming home if you're just going to sleep?
It's because I'm really tired.
I sleep best when I'm at home.
I'm going to sleep a little more.
When can I sleep in, if not now?
Mom, I'm hungry! Make me some rice!
I think I'm hungry!
Oh! You scared me.
What are you doing there?
Your breakfast is ready. You can eat it now.
Then you could just wake me up!
We didn't wake you on purpose, so that you could sleep.
Still, why are you standing there, when you could've just woken me up?
- I'll be right out. - Come right out.
I made your favorite, cutlass fish.
Oh! Oh, you surprised me!
When did you get in?
How about you? When did you get in?
You?
Maybe my body need's a good warm-up.
What's with you? We're both aging together.
Look at how you talk to me. Do you want to die?
Why are you hitting me?
Why do you think? Because you did something wrong.
Why are you hitting me so early in the morning?
You speak so rudely to your older sister. Am I your friend?
I'm your older sister, okay?
Hey, what are you two doing? You're all grown up now!
Hurry up and eat!
Well, now it feels like there are people living in this house.
I feel like Duk Seon acts like that because she wants to get hit.
She just asks to be beaten.
Why is Bo Ra's voice like that?
I think her voice sounds very weak.
Her screaming sounds weaker than before.
Oh, my... her health must not be what it used to be.
If she were any healthier, she'd wrap up her sister and eat her.
Dad, your nose is bleeding.
Oh, dear! Your nose. Here.
Oh...
Put your head back.
I must have picked my nose too much.
Hurry up and eat your breakfast! I'm fine, I'm fine.
Is Jung Hwan already heading down?
Yes, training is over. He's going back to Sacheon tomorrow morning.
We're all going to have drinks tonight.
Will you be able to come?
I have a match, but I think it'll end early.
I think I can go.
Why do you have so many matches? You should do less!
- Okay. - That was great.
And if you only plan to sleep at home, then don't bother coming at all!
Hey now...
You think you're the only one that studies?
Why don't you eat, and go back to sleep? Okay?
Don't you laugh.
And don't you dare think of dating Shin So Hyun.
Okay. Don't worry.
Wow, how did she become this good at talking?
I heard that elementary school kids were the scariest.
More soup, please.
Of course, that's my favorite thing to hear.
Sun Woo, let's play catch later. You need to exercise.
No, I don't want to. Maybe if you threw softly.
I will not do it.
You have to exercise. You need to be fit to study.
It's fine. It's okay.
- I want to sleep. - Sun Woo!
All right, all right. I'll do it.
Turn down the volume!
Before I kick you out in your underwear...
Such a harsh thing to say.
Sung Kyun, the anniversary of your mother's death is coming up.
You had such deep intentions.
We still have two or three weeks, don't we?
We can prepare slowly. My mom doesn't need a lot.
October.
I'm heading out to meet the gang.
I'm meeting the guys. I'll be back soon.
Let's go together in my car.
Okay, let's go.
Hey, put on your seat belt.
Right.
You're going to drink. Should you be taking your car?
- You can drive it back. - Geez...
- Turn on some music. - Should I?
You only have Lee Moon Sae.
Yeah? Just turn on whatever I have.
Ah, I love Lee Moon Sae's songs.
Even now, I like them.
Why do you waste energy on making such an obvious statement?
Can't you say anything nice?
Okay.
Which album was this again? Was it his third?
It was his fourth album, you dummy! It was 1987.
I'm allowed to forget! Why are you calling me dumb?
How can you fly around with such bad memory?
What kind of nonsense is that?
As someone who also flies, I feel ashamed.
Ashamed?
It's shameful.
- Okay, victory! - Victory!
Who says victory instead of cheers?
When will you be back, once you leave this time?
I'm not immigrating.
You should come back every two weeks.
It gets exhausting.
You can come on your combat plane. You'll get here really fast.
Duk Seon, I really like how you never change.
It was a joke. A joke.
What about Taek? Is he coming?
Yeah, he is coming. I called the baduk club and he had left already.
He should be here soon.
Do you think he got lost again?
How can someone who plays baduk get lost on the road?
I don't understand how someone who plays baduk can get lost.
Jung Pal, did you bring the ring?
What ring? Do you mean the fianc?e ring?
What's the fianc?e ring?
It's a commemorative ring for the Air Force, the fianc?e ring.
He still has that thing.
I brought it.
You're giving it to me, right?
I'm thinking about it.
I think it might be a waste to give it to you.
Then who would you give it to?
You're going die before you propose to anyone.
Our Jung Pal isn't very romantic.
Whatever, you idiot.
Hey, it's my wish to see you confess your feelings to someone before I die.
Are you going to live alone forever? You're so frustrating...
Duk Seon.
I was going to give it to you when I graduated.
But I'm giving it to you now.
What...
I like you.
I'm saying, I like you.
Hey... do you know what I've done because of you?
I waited an hour by the front door every day to go to school with you.
I waited every night until you came home from studying.
And I couldn't sleep at all because I was worried about you.
"Why is she so late?"
"Did she fall asleep again?"
Hey.
I thought of nothing but you. Just you.
He must be serious.
Just stay put.
When I ran into you, by chance, on the bus...
And when we went to the concert...
Also, when I got the shirt from you on my birthday...
I was really...
so happy that I thought I was crazy.
This must be for real.
I wanted to see you more than a dozen times a day.
I was happy just to see you.
I wanted to tell you this a long time ago.
I really like you.
I love you.
Are you satisfied, you idiot?
About what?
You said that this was your wish.
What wish...
Oh, man you startled me!
I thought that was real, you crazy punk!
What the heck was that?
Oh, you believed it too, right?
He's a total player.
You completely fooled me.
Wow, oh my gosh.
Jung Hwan, I'm shaking. I think I've fallen for you.
Let's date. I love you.
I waited for you at the bus station and in the study rooms.
Get away.
I was really totally fooled by you.
Hey, Duk Seon. Give me a menu. Jung Hwan's paying.
What was that?
Look at my hands shaking. I'm the one shaking here.
Really, what...
Especially between friends, I was so surprised.
Really... I love you.
Can I get one more menu?
Geez! Are you a ghost?
What? Haven't you seen someone in a hanbok before?
You're going all out, aren't you?
I changed into a hanbok. What do you think?
Is it better?
You shouldn't bother with anything.
What the heck...
What happened? You're in a hanbok now?
- Yeah, aren't I pretty? - No, you're not.
Jung Hwan... what are you doing?
You should knock.
Go home early.
My mom says to let her know if you need more!
- Hey, No Eul. - Yeah?
- Is Duk Seon home? - Yes.
- She's inside? - Yes.
Okay... here.
Give that to her.
- What is it? - A present.
Huh?
It's a present. Isn't that obvious?
A Christmas present.
What?
Give the Christmas present to your sister! Go.
Just go and give it to her.
Go! Why are you standing there?
Just go now!
Are you crazy?
I said give her the present. Get over here!
I'll give it to her. Bring it here.
You know, back then, Jung Bong didn't know it was in his pocket.
What? You crazy punk.
The atmosphere isn't good. You know?
Yeah, I know.
It was a week ago.
Yeah, and I carried him on my back.
Sun Woo, page Taek and tell him to come to round two.
Okay. Thanks for paying, Jung Pal.
That punk is truly a player.
All the girls could fall for him.
[Kim Jae Joon, a name we can say freely. Thank you to Jung Woo for joining us.]
