[December, 1994 Seoul, Dongbong-gu, Ssangmundong]
Wow, what are you? A stalker?
Yes. You just figured that out?
Seriously, how did you know?
You said you were on your way, so I came out... just in case.
This just means that I care.
Let's go.
What would you have done if I wasn't here?
I probably would've ran.
Your parents are doing well, right?
They're doing so well.
How so?
Mom, Jin Joo, and Taek's dad.
They're all doing well enough to be completely happy, even without me.
Are you planning on going somewhere?
If I get married, I have to leave the household.
You're getting married?
Yes. You didn't know?
I'm going to do it quickly, before my girlfriend gets any older.
Hey!
What? Why are you getting upset? Who said it was you?
You want to die?
I'm not going to marry you. Stop dreaming.
I'm in a rush, that's why.
Once I'm an intern, things will be so hectic.
I don't want to worry about getting married while we're both so busy.
As long as you're okay with it, I'd like to get married next year.
Don't worry. We won't rush.
You know that there are many obstacles to overcome, right?
I know that, and I'll take care of them.
You stay by my side, and don't even dare think about running away.
Just like this, okay?
Give me tropic orange.
Amore Mamonde.
Duk Seon?
What?
Did you eat too many oranges?
That only works for Lee Young Ae. Why are your lips orange?
I'm just trying it out!
Just once, you can't keep your opinion to yourself?
Please, please, please... stop copying celebrities on TV. Be remotely sensible.
But I was told it looked pretty...
Bring him here. Bring him here. I have to know, which lunatic said that?
It's pretty.
Are they really okay? This is Lee Young Ae's lipstick.
You look prettier than Lee Young Ae.
Do you even know who Lee Young Ae is?
You're still really pretty.
You remember that we have a movie date tomorrow? You can't bail.
You're the one who shouldn't bail, like you did last time.
Okay.
Hi, Jin Joo! Are you coming back from school?
Hi, Duk Seon.
What are you doing here with Taek?
What do you mean? We're just talking.
I'll tell you everything later, Jin Joo.
What's there to tell her?
Woah! What's wrong with your lips?
That color is super weird.
It's not weird.
Sung Duk Seon, you're home early.
- Yeah. - Bo Ra, is it raining out?
Yeah.
Where did you get that umbrella? You're lucky you had that.
Ah! What... is that? Wipe that off your lips.
It's really weird.
Where are Mom and Dad?
Upstairs.
Why? Are they having another meeting?
Yes, it's a very important meeting.
About what?
They're deciding, together, where we should move.
They're moving too?
Yeah, they are.
Really? I guess they would get bored, if we all split up.
Where are we moving, anyway?
I don't know. Dad is making the decision.
Let's tune in for the weekly broadcast show, "The Night Person."
That retirement money is just a one-time payment.
It would be smart to spend that money on a good house.
Gangnam! I say Gangnam.
Before I die, I want to live in Gangnam.
Fine! I say Gangnam too! We're going to Gangnam!
Il Hwa, start packing our things.
You can't go to Gangnam!
Why is that?
200 million won will barely get you a 20 pyeong apartment in Gangnam.
Not even a new apartment. An old, raggedy one.
And we won't even have 200 million won.
If we want money to marry off Bo Ra and Duk Seon
we'll need to set aside some money too.
If we only have about 150 million won left over, Gangnam won't be an option.
Then go with us.
Yeah, we should go there together!
We can't live alone. It'll be lonely.
The same way we do now, we can rely on each other. It'll be so nice and cozy.
Where was that again?
I heard it mentioned, but I forgot again.
Even if it's one million won per square meter...
It's too far. If you want to go to Seoul, it'd be better to leave from Daejeon.
Oh, Bo Ra's dad, what reason would we have to be busy at this age, huh?
We can buy 100 pyeong of land and have a bit of grass to enjoy for ourselves.
We can barbecue, and stuff like that.
Let's relax and live our lives.
This is my last opportunity to change my life for the better!
Grass and barbecue are not entering my brain!
This is something I'm going to have to think about.
How can you change your life with 150 million won?
Maybe you could've tried that in the 1980's.
Move somewhere quiet, and let's all just live in peace.
I want to be somewhere where my wife can enjoy nice mountains, and the water.
But, you never know. It could be a good investment.
Let's go. Let's go together, Bo Ra's dad.
All right, but I keep asking you! Where is this place?
Oh, well, you have to take the express bus.
And when you come up from Busan, you know that place you always see?
Just before the toll gate.
Bangyo.
Ah... Bangyo.
Think about it. You still have time.
You were always a careful man.
I made my decision right away, you know, in a manly way.
But everybody is different.
I've made my decision.
What is it? I'm in. Do you feel the same way?
- That's right. I've made my decision. - I've made my decision.
[Episode 20: Goodbye, My Youth. Goodbye, Ssangmundong.]
One, two, three.
I took the bus, and we hit traffic right before I got here.
Have you been waiting a long time?
You should have taken your time. I just got here too.
It didn't start yet, did it?
It probably just started.
Why didn't you say so? Let's go in.
Hey...
You would leave me for Armand if he beckoned you.
Never.
He wants you, as you want him.
He's been waiting for you. He wants you as a companion.
He bides his time in that place.
He finds it as dull and lifeless as we do.
Perhaps, yes.
Do you know what his soul says to me? Without saying a word?
Let me go, he said.
Let him go.
Is that what I should do, Louie?
Let you go?
My father, my Louie... don't make me.
All right.
Man Ok, you haven't forgotten about the late night snacks for tonight, right?
How good is this kimbap, that you're making such a big deal?
They sell it on the streets.
But it tastes as good as food in a premium hotel.
Okay, then I'll meet you in front of the subway station entrance.
Man Ok, we might not be able to find each other.
So, let's meet at Shinsegae Department Store.
Okay, then I'll see you there.
Yes, see you.
- Hey there. - Hey.
Since I'm officially part of this team, I want to know all of the player's names.
So I can say hello when they come in later.
Dad, where's Mom?
She's not back yet.
She knew you were coming home, so she went grocery shopping. She's not back.
She's probably buying lots of stuff.
Jung Hwan, grab me some fruit punch.
Son, that thing that's floating in the fruit punch...
is that, "self-confidence"?
Oh! Is this the book you're reading these days?
Jung Hwan... Jung Hwan, where did you go?
Jung Hwan! Jung Hwan!
I still have "uneasiness"
"truthfulness" and "are you going to open up the tummy?"
I haven't even done that joke yet!
Jung Hwan!
Sun Woo, what are you doing?
Oh, I'm going to meet Bo Ra for a bit.
I'll see you later tonight.
Wow, Bo Ra. I still can't get used to that.
I'll see you later, at Taek's. Loyalty.
It's victory, you punk! Victory!
Geez...
Where do they meet, anyway? Their mothers flock all over the place.
Whatever, they take care of themselves. I don't care about it.
Jung Hwan is here?
Yeah, we're going to meet for drinks in Taek's room.
- Come with me. - Forget it.
Sung Duk Seon will be there too.
Of course, Duk Seon is my friend.
Sung Duk Seon is holding back very well.
She hasn't said anything to me at all.
Duk Seon can be full of surprises.
She can be clumsy, but she's such a nice person.
Why do you know more about my sister than I do?
Get a move on it. We'll run into some parents, if we keep testing our luck.
Thank you.
You heard?
I heard.
Why...
Why, and how, did it end up being Sung Sun Woo?
Those two?
I'm so surprised too.
They are just going crazy inside of that household.
It's not like they're asking to get married yet.
And plus, lately, isn't marrying someone with the same last name okay?
Even your cousin did it.
They got married too.
Their last name is Kim!
If you throw rocks at random people, two out of three would be a Kim.
But both their last names are Sung.
Count the degrees of separation in their relationship. They're like strangers!
I guess.
What a mess! And between people who see each other all the time? Geez...
Geez, you should have been careful.
How is Bo Ra doing?
Tell her to come here.
She'll say that she isn't leaving her room.
If I were here, I would have ran away to my friend's place.
Sun Woo told her to come out, but she chose to stay home.
Sung Bo Ra is strong.
You guys got caught?
Why is the mood so stern in here?
Wasn't everyone going to find out eventually, anyway?
They just found out what they would've had to know later.
Yeah, Dong Ryong is right.
You would have told them anyway.
You can tell both sets of parents, and date each other officially.
It's not like you're in high school.
Lots of people with the same last name get married.
They're saying the laws are going to change too.
Duk Seon, how do you feel about having Sun Woo be your brother-in-law?
Hey, are you going to marry Sung Bo Ra?
- Oh, wow! Sung Sun Woo. - Wow...
Sun Woo, that charisma.
How are you going to convince your mom?
You've never rebelled against your mom.
Yeah, I'm more worried about you than I am about Sung Bo Ra.
Yeah, our Sun Woo must have a lot of worries.
He'll do just fine.
I'll take care of my life just fine, so you guys take care of yours.
- Oh! - Oh!
Do you really have the confidence?
Be strong.
Don't turn around. I'm embarrassed.
Jung Hwan, is your brother still out?
Uh... he just called to say that he would be here.
- Don't worry. - Okay.
Do you know your brother?
Has he completely given up on his entrance exams for law school?
Yes.
Okay, thanks for giving me an honest answer.
- Go inside, sleep. - Okay.
Mom.
Yeah, what?
Are you okay?
Of course.
Why is Jung Bong going out for snacks this late at night?
Thank you for this. I'm sure it took a long time to make.
I was happy during that time, so it's okay.
But are kimbap restaurants open at this hour?
They open at night, and close early in the morning.
It's where these food vendors and restaurant owners eat.
It's ark shell kimbap, this big, served with soup!
It's the perfect combination!
Man Ok, you live in such a big house.
I never thought you would like places like this.
Oh, no! I totally like places like this.
I grew up eating vendor food at markets.
I'll tell you all about it later.
Okay.
Oh. this. Lots of people ask me about this one...
I'll take this one, okay?
- Do you need anything else? - No, I need four...
Sir, you, uh... know about Burberry, right?
Mi Ran.
Should we take a walk around the neighborhood?
Let's get some air.
Ah, it's really nice to get some air, isn't it?
Honey.
Jung Bong... gave up on his law entrance exams.
I never had any expectations, to begin with.
The fact that he got into college, whether on this seventh try or not...
I have no greed for that anymore... not at all.
Jung Bong is just a bit slower than others.
I think that Jung Bong will find his own path to making a living.
I think so too.
He's just so much slower!
Oh, boy...
But our kids, they sure are good kids.
Do you happen to remember this?
You know, when you used to deliver black bean noodles?
You saw Jung Bong and Jung Hwan playing in the street with friends.
You tried to run away, just in case the kids were embarrassed of you.
But Jung Bong grabbed Jung Hwan's hand, shouted "Dad!" and hugged you.
Yeah, I remember that.
You came home that night, crying and laughing.
You had tears and a runny nose.
And you told me about it all night.
Were you that happy?
Yes. My throat gets dry, even when I think about it now.
I expected them to be ashamed to see their dad holding black bean noodles.
They said "Dad!" and ran over to hug me.
How could I not be happy?
That was my happiest day ever.
What child could be ashamed of their parents?
That's not a proper child.
Right?
But, I noticed, in life, that isn't always the case.
We've just been very blessed.
We lived in that one bedroom shoe box next to Teacher Yoo's house.
Jung Bong used to cry all night, yelling that he was in pain.
Our next day's rice would run out.
Occasionally, I would wonder if we should light the stove up and die from the gas.
I had a lot of terrible thoughts.
But, I endured every day by looking at the faces of our great kids.
I think I survived because of our kids.
I didn't raise the kids. I think they raised me.
I raised you.
I raised you!
Then, we raised each other.
Good. We did good.
We did good.
Good, good. We did good.
That's why you're my husband.
- You can come back in an hour. - Yes, all right.
- Bye, now! - Okay.
Dad.
Your daughter is here.
Is my bad daughter here?
What bad daughter...
Dad, this is my boyfriend.
Oh.
My dad built all of this from scratch with no help at all.
He has two more stores in Dongdaemun.
When he first came to Seoul, he had 30,000 won.
But now, they say Seoul's textile market couldn't run without my dad.
Wow, you're amazing.
In my eyes, you're like the Bill Gates of Korea.
You have truly built yourself from the ground up, on your own.
You are... really very cool.
I'm a bit better than Bill Gates.
Bill Gates can speak English.
I didn't learn English, Japanese, or Chinese, but look at me now.
I sell to the Americans, and to the Japanese.
So, I am better.
Did Bill Gates only graduate from elementary school, like me?
He went to Harvard.
He's a smart man.
That's why, you are better!
You are really, the best!
Yeah.
Yeah, it's cold!
I'll get you something yummy. There's great kimbap at Namdaemun.
Their soup is great too.
- Thank you, Sir. - Hold on.
Your voice sounds familiar.
Have we spoken on the phone before?
Is this the guy you dated in high school?
I'm certain that this is the voice from the phone.
Dad, it's cold. Let go inside.
- Right? Let's hurry up. - We'll go in now.
Wow, it's cold.
I'm right.
It's you, isn't it? Come here!
What are you doing? You're taking a part-time job?
Yes.
What about your exams? You're giving up on them?
I don't think that's the path for me.
It's important that you find something that you want to do.
I approve.
I want to work, and build experience.
I've been taking allowance from you, at this age.
From now on, I want to take care of myself.
There is something that I really want to do.
Once I have things organized, I'll tell you about it.
He's giving up on the entrance exams?
Yes.
He's already given up, completely. He's working at the pub near us.
Geez! What a waste of the time he already spent studying for them.
Even if it took some extra time, I had faith Jung Bong would get it done.
He sticks with things. He's very persistent.
Well, it's not something that just any person can pass.
Bo Ra was special.
How about we play Go-Stop? It's been a while.
Yes, why not?
I'm too tired to make dinner.
Let's ask Jung Bong to make kimchi stir-fry rice.
Why don't the three of us warm up our hands?
Come on, lady.
I can't play Go-Stop with Sun Young right now.
- Oh, man... - Oh...
Bo Ra's mom. The same last name thing... it's really nothing!
What do you call it? It's one of those rules that doesn't get enforced.
And either way, the law is going to be changed.
But you can't register the marriage.
And if a baby is born, the birth can't be registered.
I just don't like it at all.
I told you! The law will be changed!
Do you dislike Sun Woo, by chance?
Oh, no! Where can you find a boy like Sun Woo?
Then just give the "okay"!
It's very uncomfortable to be living on the same street through this.
I was going to relieve the pain from my menopause with Go-stop. This is annoying.
Everyone else thinks it's okay!
Even my aunt, who is over 70, thinks it's okay.
Why are you no better than a grandma who is 70 years old?
So frustrating...
Take more medicine. Quit being a problem.
What about dinner? With who?
She's the friend who introduced you to Trash, right?
Tell her that next time, I'll treat her.
If you think about it, I should be most thankful to her.
Yeah... I'm going to talk to them today.
You can't... run away again.
I'll take care of everything, so trust me, and follow my lead.
I'll talk to your parents too, okay?
Just take care of yourself.
I'll take care of my house.
I'll talk to my parents, and I'll convince them.
Just worry about yourself.
Taek is going to be late today, right?
Yes, he has a competition today, tomorrow, and the day after that.
I'm home.
Sun Woo, what brings you here today?
I wanted to talk to you guys.
Mom, please give me your permission.
I want to marry Bo Ra.
Give us your blessing.
Sun Woo.
Let's not be too rash.
I'm not completely saying no, either.
But, you're not finished with your studies.
You have to graduate.
You still have lots of things left to do.
And regarding you and Bo Ra right now...
You two make like each other so much, that you aren't seeing straight.
You don't know what will happen later.
So, take it slowly, okay? Slowly...
Let's take our time, thinking about this.
Mom.
I've been seeing Bo Ra for six years.
It's not a passing feeling.
And I'm not coming to talk to you because I want to get married right now.
I want to date Bo Ra with marriage in our future plans.
I want your permission first, so that we can officially date.
Mom.
Until now, I've never done something you've told me not to do.
Even with college, and my major...
I did everything you wanted me to do.
I don't regret any of it!
But, with my marriage, at least...
I want it to be with the person I love.
Mom, can you let go of the way you feel, just this once?
I'm going back to the hospital.
I'm leaving. No need to come out.
Jung Hwan, Jung Hwan.
What about your car keys? Be careful, driving out there.
If you get sleepy, make sure to pull over at a rest stop, okay?
Geez, you do this every time I'm here.
I'm here all the time. Am I a guest, or something?
Children all become guests as they get grow up.
Is the car okay?
You have gas?
The car is just fine, and I have a full tank of gas.
Your guest will be leaving now, so please take care of your health.
Don't worry about your mom, and take care of yourself.
You'll get there late, at this rate. Get going, get going!
Bye.
- Hurry up! You'll be late! - Go back inside.
Wait, your car... You have to drive to Sacheon.
My car is broken. I'm taking the bus.
I'll sleep on the way.
Sun Young.
I'm not saying this lightly because he isn't my birth son.
Don't take it the wrong way, and just listen.
Taek... when Taek first said he wanted to play baduk
do you remember how much I opposed it?
Yes, I remember.
Bo Ra's dad went to the baduk club and he wanted to take Duk Seon.
But, Duk Seon, that girl would run after the sterilizing trucks all the time.
So, Taek ended up tagging along.
If you think about it...
life sure works out in strange ways.
It sure does.
Bo Ra's dad tried to convince me to turn Taek into the second Cho Hoon Hyun.
So, I let him do it, just for a month.
But, my goodness...
It felt like he was going to live his life glued to the baduk board.
So, that day, I threw out the board and all of the stones.
But...
Maybe it was the next day, I thought he was sleeping.
So, I opened the door.
He was in his room, looking at the board, secretly.
I did throw it away.
He managed to sneak it back in.
He was so terrified that he was going to get in trouble.
His eyes were riddled with shock.
Even at that moment, still, he fought so hard to not lose that board.
How could I win with a child like that?
That day, I forced myself to close my eyes.
I let him play baduk.
I didn't have enough confidence in him to support him on my own, with baduk.
And I wanted my child to be somewhat normal.
But that was all my greed.
Children don't do what we want them to do.
Do you think you can win over Sun Woo?
And even if you do win, will it be a real victory?
Parents can't win over their children.
He didn't say a single thing wrong.
Not a single thing.
Mom, I'm home.
Why are you here so late?
Mom.
Dad.
I... want to marry Sun Woo.
I'm hoping for your blessing.
You can't.
You two have the same last name.
If you get married, you won't be registered as married!
It will say "Cohabitant"! That's what it will say!
If your grandmother was alive, she would faint right here and now!
It can never happen.
Dad? How about you, Dad? Do you feel that way too?
It's not because you don't like Sun Woo, is it?
Sun Woo is not the problem. Who said that he was the problem?
Then, is it because he's younger than me?
Your mom and dad are not that conservative.
Then, it's just because of the law?
Then, if there are no legal issues, you would give us your blessings?
Next year, they're going to temporarily allow same last name marriages.
Congress is preparing the bill now.
Then, are you going to live with him for a year?
What happens if you have a baby? Huh?
You can't even register the birth of the baby.
What will you do then?
Next year, they will temporarily allow these marriages.
And there's discussion of making that change permanent.
It's a certainty.
That law will no longer exist.
Sun Woo and I can't get married right away anyway.
Next year, when I'm done with my training...
and Sun Woo finishes his fourth year...
we'll get married then.
There won't be any legal issues then.
Have I ever disappointed you guys?
I can live happily with Sun Woo.
Mom.
Dad.
Trust me... this time too.
Oh, my...
I wonder whose daughter that is.
She sure is smart.
Lady, it's the middle of Winter!
Why is the door wide open?
My insides feel like the middle of Summer.
Wow, that looks so tasty!
Where's your husband?
That's so good.
He'll be here.
Lady, where's the kimchi?
Kimchi? You can use the seasoning.
Still, noodles need sliced up kimchi to make them even tastier!
Oh, wow, it smells so good!
- You're here? - Yes.
How did you know to bring the kimchi?
You need it to make good noodles.
Geez.
What are doing? Dig into the noodles.
I'm sleepy again.
Are Cha In Pyo and Shin Ae Ra getting married?
Didn't Cha In Pyo go to the army?
They're getting married once In Pyo "Oppa" comes out.
I've known that they had something going on since "Star in My Heart".
That look in their eyes, that wasn't acting.
Why is he your "Oppa" again?
Because he's good-looking.
Should I put a lot of kimchi in yours?
Yes, lots on mine.
That's good. Too much.
Geez, why aren't these boys coming?
- Boys? - You know.
The watch store boy, the Hanil Bank boy.
President Kim boy.
I was wondering who you were referring to.
Those big men... They really don't listen.
I told him to come. He should hurry up!
Sun Young, do you want lots of peppers?
Not in mine. Put lots in Moo Sung's.
Don't give him that much! Why? Does he not have strength?
Why are you giving him so many peppers?
- Her husband eats a lot! - It's good for men.
How do you know what's good for men?
You're going to tire him out!
More, please!
Where is Moo Sung's?
The neighborhood is quiet.
Yeah, all the kids have grown up, and now they're all gone.
- Where's Jin Joo? - She's at school.
If Jin Joo weren't around, this place would be a nursing home.
By the way, I haven't seen Taek yesterday or today.
Does he have a big match?
He started a new competition.
This?
That's right.
You should eat lots, grow up, and win something too.
When I saw Taek, his face looked very tired.
Yes, so why did you have to get him all excited about this?
Oh? What are you talking about?
Bo Ra's dad, do you have menopause too?
You're losing memories.
Mom! Dad!
Taek has a dating scandal!
This is one side of the picture.
- With who? - Is it an actress?
Don't be surprised.
Amazing, right? Shocking, isn't it?
- Hey... - Come on, that's a mistake.
You're overreacting.
They do hold hands often.
Yeah, but Duk Seon looks good in this photo.
They watch movies together often too.
My daughter looks so cute. So pretty.
They used to take baths together when they were younger.
That's something new, isn't it? What's that writer going to do?
Look at our Duk Seon.
Who's that? Duk Seon!
Hello.
Master Choi is done. He'll be out soon.
It took 13 hours today.
13 hours?
He's nearly dead right now.
I feel sorry for him.
He still won though. He beat him, in the end.
He suffered, but it was all worth it.
- What? - His girlfriend came to wait for him.
He told Director Yoo and I about you.
Ah...
Thank you.
For what, Sir?
Just because... thank you.
But... you two should have been careful.
What will you do about today's scandal?
Does Taek know too?
He heard right away after the match, from the reporters.
You know Choi Taek's personality, right?
Just acknowledge it to everyone. It is the truth.
Anyway, you're here, Duk Seon...
I'm going to go home now.
Take him home safely.
Okay, bye.
This isn't a dream, is it?
What kind of baduk match takes 13 hours?
I know.
You worked hard.
Yeah, you too.
Do as I say, okay?
Both sides are having a hard enough time with Sun Woo and Bo Ra.
If they find out about us too...
they'll be traumatized.
So, tell them that the scandal from today's paper is not true, okay?
No. I won't lie.
I kept it in for six years. I don't want to anymore.
Once some time passes...
we can take a look at the situation and then we can tell them.
Both your parents, and mine.
They're people who would be more than willing to listen to us.
But, right now...
it's not the time.
I'm confident my feelings won't change.
Aren't you?
When is Taek coming back?
He should be here soon.
You should ask him, at least.
But it just can't be. That wouldn't happen.
I'm telling you, it's true. There's something funny about those two.
Hey, you punk!
Stop spouting nonsense!
Do you want to see your mother faint?
Shut your mouth already.
It's enough to be dealing with the same last name issue.
I can't have complications with two in-laws from one family.
If you're ready to organize your mother's funeral, then you can keep on yapping.
Il Hwa... Il--
Geez, I know I'm right.
- Bye, now. - Yes, all right.
It's not true, so don't worry!
Look, look. Something feels different about them.
Why are you two coming in together?
You two, about that article...
it's not true, is it?
Taek, is it true? It's not, right?
The article is wrong, right?
You're not dating, are you?
Taek, is that article true?
It's not true. You know our relationship.
- See, see. - Oh my goodness!
Does our relationship seem like one that would change?
Right, right. You two have known each other for ages.
Taek.
I trust you.
Does our relationship seem like it's going to change easily?
I won't change.
So, let's take our time in telling them.
Okay? Understand?
I'll give you a present for doing this.
I love you.
Back then, two in-laws with one family was worse than a same last name marriage.
[January, 2016] I was maturing so fast.
But, he only played baduk.
I had to talk him out of it, and convince him not to announce it.
We dated for about two years and then we got married.
I was busy. He was too.
I think, for about two months, our meetings were so brief.
As for dates...
It was all on neighborhood streets.
I'll walk you to the big street.
Why don't you open your eyes and wake up first?
Yeah... you just got here?
Why didn't you call?
Okay.
You should have gone to bed.
Let's walk around the neighborhood, just once.
We didn't do anything special on our dates.
We were like any other couple.
We stole some scenes from movies and TV shows, you could say.
Hey, hey, Taek. If I drink and party again, I'm no longer Sung Duk Seon.
I'll be your daughter.
Are you doing this on purpose to make me angry?
I told you, I don't like it.
Seriously?
Taek!
Taek, just this once. It's a work party.
It's for work, Taek. Come on, Taek...
How much was it?
Do you want to die?
Do you think 30 million won is a joke?
You just let someone borrow 30 million won?
That's enough.
Who was it? Give me a name.
It's just someone. A colleague who trains with me.
- You don't know him. - So give me a name! What's his name?
He will pay me back, right away.
I want a name!
[1994 Duk Seon]
[1988, Sung Duk Seon's Diary]
[I sent a post card confessing my feelings for Sun Woo...]
Man, I was crazy.
Hey, give it back.
Give it back. Hey!
Give it, give it. Hey...
- Did you read it? - No, I couldn't.
Go inside now.
Long time, no see.
That hurt. Why did you do that?
Because I'm so happy to see you.
What the heck was that?
We dated and got married.
What was the best part?
Ah, quitting my sleeping pills. I quit my sleeping pills once we started dating.
When did I start liking her?
I don't remember that.
She says 1989?
Wow, she still doesn't know me.
Is she really my wife?
[Fall, 1978]
[Fall, 1979]
Taek, drink the milk and grow tall!
You have to grow up quickly and marry me, right?
Should we go see a movie?
Let's see a movie.
Duk Seon!
I like Duk Seon.
Not as a friend, but as a girl.
I don't think I can make it tomorrow.
Plans have come up with the people at baduk club.
But now...
What is this?
A turtle.
What does it mean?
Eternal love.
You said you'd be proposing.
Is this the end?
No.
Duk Seon.
I love you.
[Fall, 1995: Sung Bo Ra, Sung Sun Woo's Wedding D-7]
- Mom. - Oh, you're here.
Why are you cooking already?
If I get married and go on my honeymoon, that's more than half of a month away.
I should do it in advance. I have ten more to do.
No, no! Don't do it. You'll be doing more than enough later.
It's okay.
My goodness, give that to me.
Go on inside. Get some rest.
- Go on. - Seriously?
Okay.
Okay, now.
Dad, what are you doing?
Oh, Bo Ra, I was meaning to tell you...
Thank you for the new shoes you bought for me.
They fit me perfectly.
Bo Ra, you bought shoes for Dad?
Yes, she bought them for me to wear at the wedding.
She bought me a pair of shoes.
They're cheap. Just wear them however you please.
Okay, you must be tired. Go to bed.
It's not even 9 p.m. yet.
Hey you! Lower the volume or turn off the TV!
How else is your sister supposed to sleep?
Okay.
We didn't forget to send the invitations to anyone, did we?
Mom, Sun Woo's wedding is the day after tomorrow.
Even if we did, it's too late now anyway.
Why is there nothing that our Jin Joo doesn't know?
Where's Sun Woo? Where's the groom?
He's probably with Bo Ra.
They've been dating for years, but he must still like her, huh?
I guess so.
Hello.
Sun Woo, what brings you here?
I wanted to speak to you.
Have you eaten yet?
Yes, I've eaten.
Aren't you busy? You must have so much to do to prepare for the wedding.
I've prepared everything. You know how detail-oriented I am.
If you're like that once you're married, Bo Ra will go crazy on you.
You need to go with the flow a little bit.
That will make your household comfortable.
- All right? - Yes.
Also, Bo Ra will be working too.
Do your laundry and take care of your own meals.
Yes, I'll do a good job.
I might not do as well as you.
But for the past eight years, I have watched, and learned from you.
I'll try my best to be half the person that you are.
What did I do?
Oh my, Sun Woo...
When did you grow up like this? And now you're getting married?
Your mother and I, we're not sad at all.
I don't know about the others, but I trust you.
Live well Sun Woo, okay?
Sir, here.
- What's this? - An invitation.
Why are you giving me an invitation?
This isn't the one that I sent to the elders and my other relatives.
I sent this one to the people closest to me.
Sir.
This is my real invitation.
[Sung Sun Woo, son of Kim Sun Young and Choi Moo Sung...]
You'll be sitting next to my mom at my wedding, right?
Make sure my mom isn't lonely.
And sit next to her.
They say you grow up when you get married.
I must finally be growing up.
Thank you, Sir...
for not letting my mom be lonely.
[Choi Moo Sung]
My goodness... this is pretty.
Oh, I'm so out of it.
I almost forgot to get you a kettle.
Where are you going, Mom?
I'll be at the store.
It's okay. I don't need a kettle. Don't buy it.
No, you'll need it, for sure!
What are you doing? Go in and sleep.
- I'll be back. - Bye, now.
I'm going to meet my friends for a bit.
Come home early! Your sister is getting married tomorrow.
Okay. I'll be back soon.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you okay?
What do you mean? What would not be okay?
Is the mood in your house okay?
The mood in my house has been strange for about a week.
How?
I feel like...
Like I've become a guest.
Your family is being too good to you, aren't they?
It's the same thing here.
Your parents are doing that because they feel sad.
Geez, I feel bad for no reason.
Whenever they see me, they insist I sleep, or rest.
Sun Woo, I must really be a stranger now.
Why don't you change the mood then?
Or why don't you guys all try talking about the past?
Use this chance.
You don't know what you're saying.
If my family starts doing that, we'll drown in a sea of tears right away.
Oh, yeah?
I won't ask to see you today! Spend this last day with your family.
This time, I'll give in.
I want to do that too, but everyone's busy.
Mom went to the store, and No Eul is meeting friends.
Duk Seon is on a flight.
Dad and I are the only people home.
Then talk to your dad for once!
Geez, you two are both just, so not good at conversation.
Or... you could just come out quickly for lunch.
Hey, is it already time for lunch?
Let's hang up. My dad's probably hungry.
Dad, are you hungry?
Well, I made some of the fried rice that you like.
Well, uh...
Is everything ready?
Yes.
Should I bring you some soup, to help the rice go down easier?
- I'm fine. You should eat. - Yeah.
Do the shoes fit okay?
Yeah, they really fit me just right.
How did you know my shoe size?
You should eat a lot.
[Congratulations On Your Wedding!]
[Sung Sun Woo, Sung Bo Ra]
Hi, the ceremony will be starting soon.
- All guests please take a seat. - Oh, Dong Ryong's mom!
In order for the ceremony to start...
Mrs. Cheetah from Ssangmundong!
If Mrs. Cheetah from Ssangmundong will be quiet, we can get started.
I will repeat myself. The ceremony will begin soon.
Those of you standing outside. Your legs must be hurting.
Please come inside and take your seats.
And let's get started.
Oh, Lieutenant Kim! Jung Pal, get here on time, will you?
I'll kill you.
He's my friend.
Son, son.
Yes!
Son, you look good.
Hey, I said I'd be the emcee.
You barely made it here from Sacheon.
Dong Ryong is fine. Don't worry.
Did you see Sun Woo? He looks crazy.
He can't control his facial expressions.
Next, we'll have our groom make his entrance.
Groom! Enter!
He's smiling ear to ear.
That crazy punk.
Sun Woo!
- Is it okay? - Yes.
Dad, are you nervous?
Walk in properly. Don't fall.
Dad, aren't your shoes too big?
What if they slip off?
It's fine. They fit just fine.
Thank you.
Go sit down.
Everyone, this is the highlight of the ceremony.
In a moment, please turn around.
We will have the entrance of the bride, more beautiful and graceful than ever.
Please, let's hear your applause!
Bride! Enter!
Hey, Bo Ra is beautiful.
Next, unto this blessed day
we will now give thanks to the parents who raised them with love.
First, they will greet the parents on the bride's side.
With thankful hearts, for raising us with love and care
the bride and groom will now provide a greeting.
Bride and groom, please bow.
Yes, it's a very beautiful and touching scene before us.
Yes, it is very heartwarming. Yes.
Don't cry.
Next, we have to take photos with all of the relatives.
First, we ask that all the relatives, on both sides, come up to the stage.
Please come up.
Okay, is everyone up here? There's no one else?
Wait, wait, wait!
What are you doing? Get up here!
Me?
You, and everyone!
Should we go too?
Hurry up!
One... two... three!
Before we finish up the photos
we will have a segment of, "Sun Woo, let's take a picture together!"
Everyone, come on up. What are you doing? Duk Seon, where are you?
Duk Seon, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you a panda?
- Shut up. - Okay.
Sir, please take a good one.
Friends?
Yes, they're my neighborhood friends. Please take a good one!
I wonder if that's why you all look alike.
Okay, I'm taking it now.
When I count "one, two, three", smile brightly for me!
Okay! One... two... three!
Bye!
Hey, hey, hey.
Your sister didn't leave yet, did she?
Of course, not without you there. Hurry, she's out front.
I'm going to the bathroom. Dad, take this.
This is Bo Ra's bag for her honeymoon. Be careful.
Oh... she didn't even take this yet.
Geez, I really hate these things.
You should all get going.
- I'll be back. - Okay, okay.
You should all go inside.
Mom, am I going far away?
The in-law's are right here too. Why are you crying?
I love you, Mom. I'll live well.
Thank you for raising me.
Lady, everything will work out well.
Don't worry.
We should go home now too.
Why don't we, neighborhood people, have a drink?
Yes, let's do that.
Oh? Where's your dad? He was just here a moment ago.
Oh, you're right. He was just here.
I didn't realize that my Bo Ra had so many tears in there.
Yeah, I didn't know either.
[To my loving daughter]
To my loving dad.
I didn't think I could say it in words, so I'm writing a letter.
Why can't I ever say it in words?
I guess I'm just a lot like you, right?
Dad, I don't know everything that you're feeling.
I knew when you called my name, "Bo Ra", you were just asking me to look at you.
And when you put side dishes on top of my rice, I knew it meant you loved me.
Why did I pretend not to notice?
Damn it.
That's what pains my heart the most, and I'm sorry.
Dad...
I wanted to look you in the face, and tell you something before my wedding.
But I ended up telling you in this letter.
I'm a bad daughter who has a lot for which to be sorry.
It's because I feel like crying, just when I hear or see the word, "Dad".
Dad, I love you, and I thank you.
I'll live well with Sun Woo, so that you and Mom don't worry.
Though it was a half-basement house, I received so much love.
If I'm ever reborn, I want to be reborn as your daughter.
Dad, I'm sorry, and I love you.
Thank you.
You grew up well, my daughter.
Bo Ra.
It must have been this time of year, about 27 years ago.
I heard your mother shout, and soon after, I heard a light cry.
Your dad can still hear it in his ears.
When did a small thing like you, grow up so fast, and get married?
Bo Ra...
Since you were born, and every moment between then and now...
Don't forget that you have always been my most precious jewel.
I love you, my daughter.
Thank you for being born as my daughter.
Can't we fix this, with Photoshop or something?
What's wrong with it? It's part of all of our memories.
Who told you to cry so much at my wedding?
Look who's talking. I didn't cry as much as you did.
[Stalker]
- Yes, honey? - Where are you?
- Duk Seon's place. - Again?
What do you mean, again?
I came for coffee.
Your dad's birthday is soon.
Did you decide on a present?
Not yet. I'll pick one out on my own.
Aren't you busy?
I'm busy. Bye.
That team's been bothering you a lot, haven't they?
No.
They said it would only be one interview.
[Stalker]
Yes, honey?
What do you think about running shoes? He looks good in sportswear.
Yes, that's a good idea.
But honey, I'll buy it. Go back to work.
Okay.
What is their theme? Oh, right...
Youth? I think it's youth.
Hello?
Honey, should we buy him slippers? What do you think? Not bad, right?
Is it too much?
When you buy them, buy shoes that are wide.
I said I'll take care of it!
Hey! how many times a day do you call me?
We can talk about it at home?
If you call one more time, I'll just... got it?
Yes, okay. I'll hang up now.
What were we talking about?
We weren't talking at all.
I think running shoes would be good for Dad's birthday.
Should I buy them? Dad's shoe size is 270, right?
Running shoes are 275, and dress shoes are 270.
But, it's different, depending on the brand.
I'll buy them.
Are you mad? Sorry! When are you coming home?
This guy...
He's dead!
Duk Seon, I'm going.
Your friend is going to die today!
People don't change.
He's not our street's biggest star anymore.
- Kim Jung Bong, right? - Yeah.
Jung Bong became totally big.
These days, you know, Home Cooking Chef Bong...
You know that show, Chef Bong, right? I watch that.
But I watched him cooking, and he's the same as he used to be.
Yeah.
He really loved sugar back then too.
Yes, he did.
Jung Bong's ramen is still my favorite.
Man Ok must be happy, right? Her husband is a good cook.
I'll make you that ramen later tonight.
Don't bother.
No need to thank us. We're more thankful to you.
We got to talk about the past. We enjoyed it a lot, actually.
After talking about it, I realized, we really had fun in Ssangmundong.
Right? Why didn't we know that then?
If we knew that back then, we'd be adults.
Do you remember when each family started to move out of the neighborhood?
Your house moved away first.
My mom was crying all over the neighborhood.
I think she cried more that day, than when Grandma died.
Yeah.
Okay, this too.
It's all in. You should get on.
Yes, we'll be right there!
You should get on. I need to talk the ladies first.
Oh, for goodness' sake.
What? We're not going to see each other anymore?
Am I going to the States or something?
What, what, what?
I'll call often.
Geez, now.
Get going now. Don't cry.
Okay and stay well, ladies.
You were truly good people.
I had, only good times here.
The first people to leave Ssangmundong was Taek and Sun Woo.
Moo Sung wanted Sun Young to live in a new apartment before she got any older.
They left this neighborhood first.
Next, was Dong Ryong's family.
And next, Ssangmundong's eternal Cheetah left the neighborhood.
The last family to leave was my family.
Duk Seon, what are you doing? Hurry up.
With our family's move, the street of Ssangmundong 10-2
became an empty one.
Hurry up, Sis!
Okay.
Where are you moving again?
It's a bit far from here.
Bangyo. Go to Bangyo.
Oh, okay. You sure are going far.
You must be farming.
- What? - There's nothing there.
Do I want to go back to that time?
I don't want to go back.
I like it now. I was so sensitive back then.
These days, I think I like sunshine.
And I can hear the raindrops. I like it better now.
But if we were to go back, there's one thing I'd want to do.
What?
Spend all night in my room, with the gang.
Play Blue Marble, make ramen, watch movies.
Unless it's to hang out with the guys, I don't want to go back.
I want to go back.
Why?
There's a person I want to meet when I go back.
Who?
My parents, when they were young, and seemed as big as mountains.
Parents who were young and as big as mountains.
I want to see them.
They aged so much, didn't they?
What can you do about passing time?
You know the song "Youth", by Kim Chang Wan?
It didn't really touch my heart when I heard it first, in the past.
- But now you get it? - Yeah.
It feels like it's about me.
I guess a day like this comes for me too.
Are you old now? Huh?
Yes.
Wow.
Should we go to Ssangmundong over the weekend?
No, that place has completely changed.
There are high-rise apartments.
Could it have changed that much?
Oh... you'll be traumatized if you go.
I went there about ten years ago. It was even different back then.
- Wow. - It's best not to go.
Wow.
When I went back, in search of our neighborhood street
the street had aged so much. You could feel that the time had passed.
I can't go back to my youth, or to this street.
They are both the same.
Time will always flow.
Everything will pass by.
Everything will age.
That might be why youth is beautiful.
It shines, blindingly bright, for just an instant.
But, to it, you can never go back.
A time when many tears were shed.
The time of my youth was like that as well.
Hey, last place. Why are you always late?
You're here?
Why are you just getting here, Duk Seon?
Hurry up, Duk Seon.
Why are you guys here?
What do you mean? Were we supposed to be somewhere?
Hurry up! We rented a movie.
Duk Seon, what's wrong? Did Bo Ra hit you again?
We're starting the video.
Come sit down.
My daughter is very pretty. She has my eyes.
You can see her for yourself.
Hey, wait!
You farted, didn't you?
Fart, fart. When would I have farted?
Sun Woo, do you think I would just fart in front of--
Hey!
Stop it!
Give it a rest!
Seriously.
Oh my God!
Quiet, quiet, quiet.
Isn't that my mom's voice?
Kim Jung Hwan, come eat!
Sun Woo, it's time to eat!
Duk Seon, come eat!
I have to go.
Me too.
I'm going too.
Son, let's eat too.
1988. This is the end of our Ssangmundong story.
Longing for that time and longing for that street...
is not because I miss a younger version of myself.
That's the place of my father's youth, of my mother's youth...
of my friends' youth...
It's the place that holds the youth of everything that I love.
In that landscape, where we won't be able to gather like that again...
I regret being unable to say my final farewell.
To, the things that are already gone...
To a time that has already passed, I want to say a belated farewell.
Goodbye, my youth.
Goodbye, Ssangmundong.
