THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
- Find anything?
- Bring the cutter!
- Bring the cutter!
- Hurry!
- Hurry up.
- Yes, sir.
- Did you…
- Bring it up.
Hey, come on.
- Here.
- Is it burnt there?
Push it.
- Done?
- Yes.
Kang-ho.
Wake…
Wake up, Kang-ho.
Kang-ho…
No!
No!
No, Kang-ho!
- Ma'am, calm down.
- Kang-ho!
Kang-ho!
Please save him!
My son!
My baby!
My baby! Please save him!
Please!
First of all,
we successfully stopped the hemorrhaging.
But his brain and body remain swollen.
His cervical spine was fractured
and he suffered
an injury to his spinal cord.
Even if he gains consciousness,
I'm afraid he won't be able to return
to his normal life for some time.
Food?
You're inviting me to eat
when I've never been able
to enjoy a meal with you?
You're dozing off
because you're full and it's warm.
Study.
You got it wrong again.
Learning Chinese characters
is mandatory for the bar exam.
Rewrite the ones you got wrong 100 times
and memorize them again.
Run!
Darn it.
What is he…
Mom…
You'll doze off on a full stomach.
I told you a million times.
Okay.
DOWON HOSPITAL
You should go eat.
How could she have an appetite
when her child is dying?
Dying?
Who's dying?
He's still breathing.
Both his pulse
and blood pressure are stable.
His hands and feet are warm.
His body is still functioning.
My son won't die.
No.
I won't…
I won't let him die.
THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
Short! A double play!
Good play!
Yes!
Good throw. Nice play!
- Well done.
- It's all thanks to you.
This is how our team
made it to the Korean Series
after only two years in the league.
You were terrific today! Applause!
You were incredible!
Goodness. Yes?
Prosecutor Choi was in an accident.
He's in the ICU at Dowon Hospital.
What?
What a mess.
He could've just forged the document.
Yet he went all the way there
just to get that seal?
What about the other driver?
They haven't been identified yet.
The roads are blanketed
with CCTV cameras nowadays,
yet they can't find the guy?
The truck was a burner vehicle.
Also, it was found
after it had been set on fire
and no fingerprints were recovered.
What?
A burner vehicle?
It was a burner vehicle?
Unbelievable.
Right. Hold on.
What happened to Oh Tae-soo's daughter?
It's okay.
What happened?
He most likely won't make it.
Well done.
Kang-ho.
Hold on.
That means…
he's still alive.
What do we do?
What if…
they find out?
CHAIRMAN SONG
I'll take care of that, so don't worry.
Just rest up for a few days.
Hello, Chairman Song.
Goodness. Thank God.
I heard your daughter
wasn't in the car when it happened.
What a relief.
My heart is still heavy
when I think of Prosecutor Choi.
Tell me about it.
I just saw him, and it broke my heart.
Anyway, both you and your daughter
must be shocked.
Take care of yourselves.
Let's catch up in person soon.
Goodbye.
He has a heavy heart?
Find that hit-and-run driver this instant.
Damn it! Everything's ruined!
Of course.
Everything else is fine.
But he hurt his leg,
so it'll take some time
for him to recover.
I asked them to find
an experienced farmhand.
But it's hard to hire anyone
since it's farming season.
Thank you in advance, Mr. Son.
Don't worry about the pigs,
and just focus on Kang-ho.
Yes. All right, bye.
What did she say?
How's Kang-ho?
He must've broken his leg.
- Oh, dear.
- Goodness.
He broke his mom's heart when he left.
He's being punished for it.
Gosh, don't say something like that
about our neighbor.
That's exactly why I'm saying this.
She's a fool.
She was always fixated on his studies.
All her hard work only made him
into such an impudent son.
As a parent,
you shouldn't bad-mouth
another parent's child.
To be honest,
Sam-sik is the most impudent one of all.
What do you mean?
Why are you bringing him up right now?
I mean, it's not like
he did anything serious.
Are you serious right now?
Let's be frank.
Raise your hand
if you've never been robbed by him.
From watermelons
and red peppers to rice wine…
I still don't get why he stole that
talisman from Mr. Son's gate.
- Jeez.
- Even a talisman?
Have you gone insane?
I'm going to kill you
with my own hands today!
- Stop it.
- Goodness!
- Gosh!
- What are you doing?
Gosh, that's enough!
- That's enough!
- Hello.
Why did you bring that dog
when we're eating?
- Goodness.
- Jeez.
Is the food ready?
You're having the awful spicy noodles.
- What?
- What did you just say?
The food is what?
Awful.
What? You said the same thing.
You said Sung-ae couldn't cook
to save her life.
Don't eat it.
- Don't eat it.
- What?
Don't eat it!
- Come on.
- Sung-ae.
- Bring it back!
- Bring it back!
Why are they always fighting?
They're setting an awful example for us.
At least we'll learn how to fight well.
Goodness me.
Excuse me.
Hello?
We're fully booked for the next two days.
One minute.
There's an opening this Friday at 8 p.m.
Okay. I'll reserve it for you.
Thank you. Goodbye.
I'm sorry.
You're raking in all the money
in this neighborhood.
I wish Bo-bae would quit her studies
and learn some useful skills like this.
She's always hanging out
with her friends at night,
saying she's studying.
She needs to be more careful.
A rape and murder case occurred
in the next neighborhood.
Right. I heard.
He followed her knowing she lives alone
and attacked her
as soon as she opened the door.
Really? So did they catch him?
No. That's why everyone is panicking.
You guys live alone too, right?
You should be careful.
They ought to catch and ground him up.
That's pretty.
It's a miracle
that he can breathe on his own.
Let's move him to a general ward
and monitor him.
In the general ward, you're responsible
for taking care of his waste.
The drainage bag is connected here.
This is the suppository.
He could get an infection
without proper care,
so please pay close attention.
Okay.
The number you have called does not exist.
Please check…
Excuse me.
Can I confirm her number again?
You've already done so three times, ma'am.
Then why does it say
that the number doesn't exist?
Maybe it doesn't.
Or maybe she changed her number.
Then could you give me
her home number or address?
Ma'am, we're not allowed to disclose
such information to strangers.
I'm not a stranger.
She's my son's fiancée
and my daughter-in-law.
Ma'am.
Mothers don't usually ask
a hospital's administration office
for their daughter-in-law's number.
- Mom!
- Mom!
Really?
Ms. Jo taught you English?
What did you learn?
Why did that woman
teach them such terrifying words?
Guys, don't meet her from now on.
No.
We need to learn English
if we want to see you soon.
I love the US.
All right.
I hope you learn English quickly
so we can live together.
By the way, who's that guy behind you?
What?
Stop pranking me and go to bed, okay?
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
A rape and murder case occurred
in the next neighborhood.
Mi-joo.
What are you doing?
Mi-joo!
Bang Sam-sik?
Darn it.
You have all those normal clothes,
and you gave me this?
What? Do I?
You should've just gone home
after you got discharged.
Why did you come here?
Goodness.
I'm seriously regretting it myself.
Right. I'm supposed to give you tofu
since you're discharged.
- You already gave me something.
- What?
A good beating.
A painful one.
By the way, how did you know I lived here?
Well…
A long time ago,
you said that it was your dream
to open up your own nail salon.
Right.
You said the name would be Nail & Nail
and how brilliant the idea was.
So I looked up the name just in case.
And guess what? I found it.
You're incredible. You remembered that?
Of course, I did.
I remember watching you being born
while I was being carried
on my mom's back.
I'm the first guy who saw you naked.
- You lunatic.
- Goodness.
You were pretty.
Jeez.
I never visited you
while you were incarcerated.
I'm sorry.
Why would you visit me
when I was incarcerated
for committing a crime?
You didn't commit a crime.
You were used by those bad guys.
You were merely a victim.
Mi-joo.
Yes?
I realized being like that
was the worst sin you could commit.
What?
Letting others use you.
And
not being able to do anything about it
because you have no power,
money, or connections.
Just take it.
It's free.
From what I heard,
working on fishing vessels is hard work.
Take care of yourself.
And don't get caught
stealing things again.
If I ever steal anything again,
it's going to be your heart.
- Bye.
- Do you still like Kang-ho?
- What are you talking about? Go.
- Do you?
What's with you? Go!
Just go. Go home safely.
Let's be honest,
I'm way more handsome than him.
Yes, you're right.
You're more handsome.
Thanks for today and this gift. Go now.
- You're handsome.
- But--
Bye.
DISCHARGE
Goodness.
Goodness. Look at the size of this gem.
Goodness.
This is bigger than Mr. Son's tomatoes.
You're supposed to buy your parents
long johns with your first paycheck.
But you can't flaunt that,
and you like to show off.
I also felt bad
that you lost your wedding ring ages ago.
I never lost it.
I hid it in the doenjang crock
so you wouldn't steal it.
But you still found it and sold it.
I felt so happy back then.
- What?
- Because
I truly despised the ring
your dad had gotten for me.
The gem was so tiny
that it was barely visible.
What?
You had gained a lot of weight back then,
so the fat was covering the gem.
Thank you so much, Sam-sik.
Goodness, Sam-sik.
- My baby.
- What are you doing?
- Come here.
- What--
Goodness, my baby.
I can't believe you got me a ring.
- Gosh, you precious thing.
- Goodness!
It's nothing.
Just live a long life.
I'll make tons of money
so you can live comfortably.
- Gosh, my baby.
- Anyone home?
Let me go!
I didn't steal it!
I got it as my paycheck!
All right. Let's talk at the station.
Can you please just hear him out?
He said they gave it to him!
Was he going to steal things
to make our lives comfortable?
Was that it?
Bye.
- Bye.
- Dad.
- Hey.
- Gosh.
Goodness.
Excuse me!
Our son hasn't come out yet.
- What's his name?
- Bang Sam-sik.
He's…
not on the list.
- What?
- That can't be.
He said he needed money
for a discharge deposit,
so I wired it to him yesterday.
A discharge deposit?
You know,
it's to guarantee that
he'll behave once he's out.
There's no such thing.
Discharge deposits don't exist!
My goodness!
Do you know a Bang Sam-sik?
Of course, I do.
- He was discharged a week ago.
- What?
- A week ago?
- Yes.
I was totally speechless.
He stole the penitentiary's towels,
soap, and toothpaste.
Let's go.
- Darn it!
- Wait.
How much did you wire him?
Five million…
You son of a gun!
Then is it Ms. Jung's fault for laying out
the pesticide bottles by the road?
Or is it Mr. Son's fault
for running over them on his bike?
My son is a prosecutor at Seoul
Central District Prosecutors' Office.
He got the top score on the bar exam.
Goodness.
Look. My eyes aren't even.
Can I retrieve the land
even if it's under my brother's name?
- This is about your land?
- Correct.
She had taken out a dozen insurances.
- He turned out to be married.
- Oh, dear.
Please put in a good word for me
once he wakes up.
- Please.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
- Goodness.
No, I'm sorry.
- That's it for today.
- But--
Come again tomorrow.
What about just me?
Gosh.
She's done for the day.
Kang-ho.
Look at this.
They're all waiting for you to wake up.
So,
wake up soon, okay?
Your fingernails have grown so much.
Nurse.
Nurse!
Nurse!
Kang-ho woke up!
My son woke up!
Kang-ho!
Kang-ho. It's me, Mom.
Do you recognize me?
Kang-ho! It's me.
Your mom.
What's wrong?
It's me, Kang-ho.
As of now, we've given him
all the immediate treatments.
From now on,
the rehabilitation department
will take over
and monitor him.
Doctor.
He'll be able to walk again, right?
As long as we keep up with the treatment.
Right?
Let's hope for the best
as he receives his treatment.
I've seen many patients walk again
after rehabilitation.
- I see.
- However,
you need to understand
that he will be very different
from the person he used to be.
When you injure your head,
you sometimes lose most of the memories
prior to the accident.
And as for your son, he only has memories
of his childhood.
So it's like
he's become a child once again.
He also lacks cognitive ability right now.
We call that retrograde amnesia.
He's like…
a seven-year-old right now.
A seven-year-old?
Simply put, he is…
- Stupid?
- …stupid.
Well, maybe not to that extent, but…
Anyway, let's keep an eye on him.
Okay.
Thank you.
- You should go now.
- Yes, ma'am.
And could you keep the siren off?
Okay.
Ms. Jin?
Yes.
Hey, you're back.
You're back.
- I'm sorry for the trouble.
- Not at all.
Pour our guest a drink first.
I refuse to drink alcohol.
Goodness.
He flew in from Canada six months ago.
He understands Korean but can't speak it.
You're majoring in Korean
at Chungjin University, right?
You are correct.
- Right.
- You said
you needed help with your farm.
His father runs a pig farm back in Canada.
He wanted to learn about Korean pig farms
and the language itself,
so he's working part-time here.
Your name is Andrea, right?
Yes.
That's his name.
I don't know what your name means,
but if I had to guess, I'd say
it means something like "impolite."
Because you're not pouring me a drink!
- Pour him some.
- Pour me some.
It must be so tough for you all.
Don't regard it as a hardship.
What kind of bastard is teaching you
such difficult words?
This bastard.
KOREAN: DON'T REGARD IT AS A HARDSHIP
Jeez.
By the way,
has Kang-ho been discharged
from the hospital?
Yes.
Goodness.
It must've bothered him
to have treated you so harshly.
That's why he drove recklessly
and got into an accident.
I can't tell you when it'll be,
but when they set their date again,
make sure you're there at the wedding.
You must do that as his mom.
Okay.
Why did she plant so many?
This saves her money from buying pig feed.
She's always been hardworking.
What good is that
when she has an impudent son?
Jeez. There you go again.
But then again,
I'm in no position to bad-mouth her son.
- When is Sam-sik getting discharged?
- When is Mi-joo coming?
Let's get back to work.
Let's do that.
- I'm sorry.
- What?
- Goodness.
- Don't be.
- Goodness.
- Goodness.
- Long time no see.
- This is killing me.
- Goodness.
- Thank you.
Gosh, I guess it was strenuous.
I'm sore all over.
Of course.
- Gosh, I'm exhausted.
- Gum-ja, here.
Goodness. What are you doing?
I don't need that.
I'm doing this for my sake.
You must be insane.
You're making us feel bad.
Jeez, you're making me feel bad.
We didn't even visit Kang-ho
at the hospital.
Right. Where is he?
Is he here with you?
Well…
No.
Why would he be here?
He's probably back at his own home.
He's a successful prosecutor.
He must have work piled up
after months of being at the hospital.
Thank goodness.
I was worried sick.
Is he all better now?
Yes.
Kang-ho, aren't you hungry?
Let's eat.
Do you remember this?
This was your first birthday.
You're holding a gavel.
You were destined to become a prosecutor.
Don't you agree?
And this was
your elementary school graduation.
We had our first heavy snow in 30 years,
so the graduation took place in the gym.
And this was
your middle school graduation.
You received an award
in front of the entire school.
I was on cloud nine.
And this was your high school graduation.
And this was taken at the institute
after you passed the bar exam.
After the ceremony,
we ate at the cafeteria there.
We had seasoned deodeok, bulgogi,
and winter cabbage doenjang soup.
You really enjoyed them.
Ta-da.
Here.
Open up.
What's the matter?
You're off the IV fluids,
so you need to eat.
Come on. Just one spoon.
Here.
What…
What's the matter with you?
Kang-ho, just one spoon.
Young-soon.
Hey.
You were home.
What brings you here?
You've been away for months.
Your kimchi must've gone bad,
so I brought some geotjeori.
This is beef bone soup.
You must've been sick of eating
hospital food.
So enjoy this hot meal.
Gosh.
You didn't have to.
Is someone here?
Sorry?
What do you mean?
There are two sets of utensils.
- Well…
- You're right.
What's going on?
Are you hiding someone in there?
No.
This smells fishy.
Don't tell me
you seduced a young doctor.
Of course not.
Wait! Hold on!
Who's there?
What? It's Kang-ho.
People will say that it's punishment.
Young-soon.
They'll say that it would've been better
had he died instead of living like that.
Who would say such a thing?
I did.
I thought that way when I saw
others in similar situations.
But you know what?
I was wrong.
Now that I'm going through it,
I know I was wrong.
I'm just…
so grateful that he's still alive.
My Kang-ho.
My one and only child.
I'm just
truly thankful that he survived…
the accident.
I really am.
What? Kang-ho?
I'm telling you.
She used to always gloat
that her son was a prosecutor.
You really never know
what can happen to you.
You should watch what you say.
When did she ever gloat?
It may not have been obvious, but she did.
I can't believe you.
What's the matter with you?
Whatever.
I'm just upset about it.
Jeez.
Either stop dieting or stop eating meat.
Choose one!
Be quiet!
You better not
run your mouth at the mill.
What? Run my mouth?
Unbelievable.
What do you take me for?
I'm not like you.
You have no idea how tight-lipped I am.
If I were born
during the Japanese colonization,
I would've been someone like Mr. Kim Gu.
Mr. Kim Gu once said this.
"In the end,
everything stems from yourself."
So you better not run your…
I mean, you better not
tell a soul about this.
Got it?
Anyway, this is a secret.
So you can't tell anyone.
Kang-ho is stupid
It's a secret
So you can't tell anyone
Kang-ho is stupid
What?
I thought he just injured his leg.
Did you take your evening medication
before you heard that?
Of course.
If I misheard them,
you can chop off my ears with a chainsaw.
What are you talking about?
And why would I do that?
I'd just burst your eardrums.
Hold on. That's not important right now.
Then what will happen to Kang-ho?
Nothing more will happen to him.
He's already stupid.
I'm sorry for keeping you out here
by yourself.
I just don't want you…
to see him
in that condition.
But…
you know me, right?
I'll never give up.
Everyone had lost hope.
They said he would never wake up.
But look.
He survived.
And since he survived,
I'm going to make him live.
He'll get up, walk, and even run.
He's seven now.
He'll be eight next year
and nine the year after.
I'll raise him all over again.
Just watch and see.
Our son
will walk out of that room.
He'll stand here
and look at you.
I'll make sure he does.
No matter what.
CLEAN AND ODOR-FREE
KOREAN SMART PIGGERY
You're so handsome.
Did you sleep well?
Doesn't this look tasty?
Here.
It's tasty.
Cluck, cluck.
Knock, knock.
Lord!
I pray
- My Kang-ho…
- My son started his own business.
I pray that it will flourish.
Can you hear me?
- I pray to you, Lord.
- Please save my son!
You're a mother too.
So I'm sure you can empathize with me.
Please.
I pray
that he'll at least eat.
Ta-da.
Here.
Just one bite.
They made pumpkin porridge for you.
Just one bite.
It's so tasty.
It's a fish.
Come on.
You need to eat this.
What is all this?
There's sesame oil,
rice cakes, red chili powder…
Where's the rice?
Hold this for me.
What is this?
It's dead.
Is it?
Goodness me.
Damn it.
What kind of a lunatic
put an eel in a rice bowl
and put it out here?
It was me.
What?
Your wife caught it
by the stream while taking a walk.
She told me to bring it here
because it was a wild eel.
She scared me to death a few days ago
when she brought home
a wild rattlesnake.
Since we're here,
shouldn't we go inside and check on them?
Right, we should.
Gosh.
Young-soon.
Young-soon?
What are you doing there?
Goodness. There you were.
Come here.
We just came…
to give you this.
This tea is made with mulberry branches.
He should try it.
- Mulberry branches?
- Yes.
Apparently, this is helpful
for people who suffer from paralysis.
We all suffer from paralysis
at least once in our lifetime.
Don't you agree?
Right. I may not catch the flu,
but I get paralyzed every now and then.
What is that?
I was at a bookstore in town today.
This was recommended as a bestseller,
so I bought one.
You like to read.
I also got these.
You can watch them
when you're alone and lonely.
Make sure you watch them by yourself.
BAREFOOT KI-BONG
MARATHON
Don't do this.
If you keep doing this,
I'll become weak.
I'll want to rely on others.
But…
But I can't do that.
I need to stay strong.
So please…
There's a saying.
"A mother…
can replace anything in this world."
"But nothing…
can replace a mother."
We're not asking you to rely on us.
Yes, you should stay strong.
You're a mom, after all, right?
CHOI KANG-HO
YONG-YONG
"Mom"?
"Mom"?
Well done. "Mom."
Walk.
That's it.
Come here.
My Kang-ho. Good boy.
- Is this me?
- Yes.
Gosh, I look pretty. Thank you.
This is you.
And this is me.
KOREAN
MATHEMATICS
Well done.
This is a slingshot.
This is a ddakji.
This is a top.
Your dad bought this robot for you
before you were born.
You were always playing with it.
It was your favorite robot.
Do you remember?
Come on.
Are you sleeping again?
Kang-ho, you should eat something.
You haven't eaten anything for days.
Kang-ho.
Kang-ho?
What's wrong with you?
Kang-ho.
Kang-ho!
It's common for patients
who are paralyzed from the neck down.
They suddenly lost the ability to move.
They lose the will to live
because of the sense of loss.
Do your best to take care of him.
If he still doesn't improve,
you should consider
admitting him to a facility.
Can a seven-year-old
feel suicidal?
Sorry?
What do you mean?
Can a seven-year-old
lose the will to live
because of a sense of loss?
Eat.
Eat!
Eat.
Eat!
Eat! Why won't you eat?
Do you seriously want to die?
You get sleepy
when you're full.
And if you get sleepy,
you won't be able to study.
What?
You get sleepy
when you're full.
And if you get sleepy,
you won't be able to study.
You get sleepy
when you're full.
And if you get sleepy,
you won't be able to study.
Is that why…
Is that why you haven't been eating?
You get sleepy when you're full.
And if you get sleepy,
you won't be able to study.
No.
No, Kang-ho.
You can eat.
You can eat now.
Look.
Look.
I'm eating too, right?
So you can eat too.
You can sleep if you're sleepy.
You don't have to study.
So please eat.
I…
love you so much, Kang-ho.
I did that because I loved you so much.
I wanted you to be happy.
I didn't want you
to end up like me and Dad.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Look. I understand that Chairman Song
ordered you to do this.
But I'm on duty right now.
I'm also on duty.
Mr. Yang Gu-man.
Mr. Yang Gu-man.
Of course, he won't open it.
- Open it.
- Yes, sir.
You can't do that. That's breaking in.
Move.
Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang.
Damn it. Open it.
Hurry. Damn it.
Mr. Yang!
Mr. Yang.
Damn it.
What? He committed suicide?
Yes, sir.
He crippled Kang-ho
who had his fate in his hands.
Then he killed the sole witness
and disguised it as suicide?
Jeez, Oh Tae-soo.
He must really despise joining
together as a family.
Oh Tae-soo?
DIAPER
The truck driver's family
lives in Yanbian, right?
Yes, sir.
Find out when and where
I should announce my presidential bid
to make it most effective.
Before you do that,
get rid of all businesses or people
who are related to Woobyeok Group.
Yes, sir.
Also, about Yang Gu-man…
"Yang Gu-man"?
Who's that?
The truck…
I'm sorry, sir.
What's the matter?
That…
Why is that here?
Why is that here?!
I found it in the trash can.
I washed it and put it here.
It's your favorite scarf.
Who? Who said it was my favorite?
Who said that?
Goodness, ma'am!
What's the matter with you?
Get rid of it this instant.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Ha-young!
Snap out of it!
Why aren't you taking proper care
of your traumatized daughter?
Throw away all her old belongings.
Replace everything single thing
with new ones.
Understand?
Okay.
Let's go out.
You're okay.
You're okay, my daughter.
Nothing will happen
to you
or me.
Kang-ho, look.
That man used to be paralyzed as well.
But he received rehabilitation
and exercised.
And now, he's healthy like that.
Isn't that incredible?
You can do it too.
Let's receive treatment and exercise
until you can move your fingers again.
Okay?
Jeez, your eyes are going to be sore.
Here.
Hello?
Yes.
Hello, this is
Hannuri Rehabilitation Center.
Did you submit an application
for Mr. Choi Kang-ho?
Yes, I did.
But we're completely full,
so I'm afraid
we can't admit him right now.
What would you like to do?
Would you like to wait?
How long will I have to wait?
I was told
that he should start rehab
before his bones become stiff.
I'm afraid I can't give you an exact date.
We need to wait until a spot opens up.
Then could you please give me a call
when there's an opening?
Please.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Kang-ho, your dinner is here.
I can't do it.
Why?
Why not?
Kang-ho, just once more.
Okay? Let's give it one last try.
- I can't do it.
- You can!
You did it earlier.
You did it.
All by yourself.
You can do it.
Okay. Here's the robot.
Push it over again.
- I can do it.
- That's right.
See? You're doing it!
Flex!
Flex!
Feed me!
Your call will be charged after the beep.
Why aren't you picking up?
Are you still unwell?
I made abalone porridge for you.
Anyway, give me a call.
SUN-YOUNG
BAR EXAM MEAL
- I see some light.
- Really?
- Where?
- There.
- Is no one here?
- What's going on?
Those brats must have run away.
They took our membership money.
I heard the owner changed.
- What do we do?
- Me?
There you are!
Yes. It's you.
You should pay us back
before selling the shop.
This is so ridiculous!
This isn't right. Give us our money back!
Give me back my money.
- Give it back!
- Please explain.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I heard you sold your nail salon.
- That woman says she's the new owner.
- What?
I see. Did you run this place with her?
You were supposed to clean out
the shop yesterday.
The interior contractors
will be here soon. Open the door now.
Hurry up.
- Please wait a minute.
- Wait for what?
This can't be. No.
- Where are you going?
- Where are you going?
- I need to make a call.
- Don't go far.
- Okay.
- We're watching you.
The number you have called does not exist.
Please check and call…
No way.
TOTAL EARNINGS: 2,370,000 WON
Sun-young, I think we'll become rich.
Should we have some soju
to celebrate this?
You drink when it's raining.
You drink when you feel lonely.
You'll soon become an alcoholic
and get the shakes.
Then you won't be able to work.
- Come on. Don't be like that.
- But…
Fine.
I'll let you go today.
- Really?
- Really.
- Mi-joo.
- Yes?
Then can I go home first?
You better go straight home.
All right.
I'll wire you this money later.
Bye.
Hey, little one.
Goodness.
Goodness.
What was the incident that just occurred?
It must've been very hungry
to jump over that.
This is what I think.
The piglet was extremely famished.
You're right.
It must've been very hungry. Goodness.
All right.
Here you go.
- Kang-ho, aren't you hungry?
- Yes.
Let's eat.
Mom?
- This is good.
- Mom.
Mom, I…
Mom.
Mom.
Why didn't you eat?
You must not be hungry.
No, Mom.
Mom, I'm hungry.
I'm hungry!
Mom, I'm hungry!
Mom!
Goodness.
Mom, I want to eat!
Mom!
Mom!
I'm sorry, Kang-ho.
Just once more.
Let me become a bad mom just once more.
No.
Mom, I can do it.
- What a shame.
- Mom, I moved my hand.
Mom, my hand… Mom.
I moved it.
Mom, I moved it.
I almost did it.
Mom…
Sesame seeds…
7 BEST MEDICINES FOR PARALYSIS
Mom.
Let me do it once more. I almost did it.
Mom!
Like this.
- Like this.
- Like--
Mom!
- Again.
- Again.
One…
I'm a genius.
Come here.
Mom, wait.
Mom!
You're so mean!
You're eating so well.
Your mom must be so happy
to see you eating so well.
Yes?
This is Hannuri Rehabilitation Center.
A spot has opened up so your son
can be admitted next week.
Really?
Does that mean he can receive
rehabilitation starting next week?
Thank you.
Thank you so much. Goodbye.
Kang-ho.
Kang-ho, you can finally…
You did it.
THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
I'm not an idiot.
- Butterfly.
- Wrong.
I just returned to my childhood.
This is a chance given from above.
She didn't say I couldn't go out.
Right?
Kang-ho!
Choi Kang-ho!
What did my son do so wrong
for you to do this here?
Because his hands are now also dirty.
I can't believe you've never called.
Where have you been, you jerk?
I'll earn a lot of money
and pay off all of your debt.
Ye-jin! Seo-jin!
Subtitle translation by: Soo-ji Kim
THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
- Find anything?
- Bring the cutter!
- Bring the cutter!
- Hurry!
- Hurry up.
- Yes, sir.
- Did you…
- Bring it up.
Hey, come on.
- Here.
- Is it burnt there?
Push it.
- Done?
- Yes.
Kang-ho.
Wake…
Wake up, Kang-ho.
Kang-ho…
No!
No!
No, Kang-ho!
- Ma'am, calm down.
- Kang-ho!
Kang-ho!
Please save him!
My son!
My baby!
My baby! Please save him!
Please!
First of all,
we successfully stopped the hemorrhaging.
But his brain and body remain swollen.
His cervical spine was fractured
and he suffered
an injury to his spinal cord.
Even if he gains consciousness,
I'm afraid he won't be able to return
to his normal life for some time.
Food?
You're inviting me to eat
when I've never been able
to enjoy a meal with you?
You're dozing off
because you're full and it's warm.
Study.
You got it wrong again.
Learning Chinese characters
is mandatory for the bar exam.
Rewrite the ones you got wrong 100 times
and memorize them again.
Run!
Darn it.
What is he…
Mom…
You'll doze off on a full stomach.
I told you a million times.
Okay.
DOWON HOSPITAL
You should go eat.
How could she have an appetite
when her child is dying?
Dying?
Who's dying?
He's still breathing.
Both his pulse
and blood pressure are stable.
His hands and feet are warm.
His body is still functioning.
My son won't die.
No.
I won't…
I won't let him die.
THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
Short! A double play!
Good play!
Yes!
Good throw. Nice play!
- Well done.
- It's all thanks to you.
This is how our team
made it to the Korean Series
after only two years in the league.
You were terrific today! Applause!
You were incredible!
Goodness. Yes?
Prosecutor Choi was in an accident.
He's in the ICU at Dowon Hospital.
What?
What a mess.
He could've just forged the document.
Yet he went all the way there
just to get that seal?
What about the other driver?
They haven't been identified yet.
The roads are blanketed
with CCTV cameras nowadays,
yet they can't find the guy?
The truck was a burner vehicle.
Also, it was found
after it had been set on fire
and no fingerprints were recovered.
What?
A burner vehicle?
It was a burner vehicle?
Unbelievable.
Right. Hold on.
What happened to Oh Tae-soo's daughter?
It's okay.
What happened?
He most likely won't make it.
Well done.
Kang-ho.
Hold on.
That means…
he's still alive.
What do we do?
What if…
they find out?
CHAIRMAN SONG
I'll take care of that, so don't worry.
Just rest up for a few days.
Hello, Chairman Song.
Goodness. Thank God.
I heard your daughter
wasn't in the car when it happened.
What a relief.
My heart is still heavy
when I think of Prosecutor Choi.
Tell me about it.
I just saw him, and it broke my heart.
Anyway, both you and your daughter
must be shocked.
Take care of yourselves.
Let's catch up in person soon.
Goodbye.
He has a heavy heart?
Find that hit-and-run driver this instant.
Damn it! Everything's ruined!
Of course.
Everything else is fine.
But he hurt his leg,
so it'll take some time
for him to recover.
I asked them to find
an experienced farmhand.
But it's hard to hire anyone
since it's farming season.
Thank you in advance, Mr. Son.
Don't worry about the pigs,
and just focus on Kang-ho.
Yes. All right, bye.
What did she say?
How's Kang-ho?
He must've broken his leg.
- Oh, dear.
- Goodness.
He broke his mom's heart when he left.
He's being punished for it.
Gosh, don't say something like that
about our neighbor.
That's exactly why I'm saying this.
She's a fool.
She was always fixated on his studies.
All her hard work only made him
into such an impudent son.
As a parent,
you shouldn't bad-mouth
another parent's child.
To be honest,
Sam-sik is the most impudent one of all.
What do you mean?
Why are you bringing him up right now?
I mean, it's not like
he did anything serious.
Are you serious right now?
Let's be frank.
Raise your hand
if you've never been robbed by him.
From watermelons
and red peppers to rice wine…
I still don't get why he stole that
talisman from Mr. Son's gate.
- Jeez.
- Even a talisman?
Have you gone insane?
I'm going to kill you
with my own hands today!
- Stop it.
- Goodness!
- Gosh!
- What are you doing?
Gosh, that's enough!
- That's enough!
- Hello.
Why did you bring that dog
when we're eating?
- Goodness.
- Jeez.
Is the food ready?
You're having the awful spicy noodles.
- What?
- What did you just say?
The food is what?
Awful.
What? You said the same thing.
You said Sung-ae couldn't cook
to save her life.
Don't eat it.
- Don't eat it.
- What?
Don't eat it!
- Come on.
- Sung-ae.
- Bring it back!
- Bring it back!
Why are they always fighting?
They're setting an awful example for us.
At least we'll learn how to fight well.
Goodness me.
Excuse me.
Hello?
We're fully booked for the next two days.
One minute.
There's an opening this Friday at 8 p.m.
Okay. I'll reserve it for you.
Thank you. Goodbye.
I'm sorry.
You're raking in all the money
in this neighborhood.
I wish Bo-bae would quit her studies
and learn some useful skills like this.
She's always hanging out
with her friends at night,
saying she's studying.
She needs to be more careful.
A rape and murder case occurred
in the next neighborhood.
Right. I heard.
He followed her knowing she lives alone
and attacked her
as soon as she opened the door.
Really? So did they catch him?
No. That's why everyone is panicking.
You guys live alone too, right?
You should be careful.
They ought to catch and ground him up.
That's pretty.
It's a miracle
that he can breathe on his own.
Let's move him to a general ward
and monitor him.
In the general ward, you're responsible
for taking care of his waste.
The drainage bag is connected here.
This is the suppository.
He could get an infection
without proper care,
so please pay close attention.
Okay.
The number you have called does not exist.
Please check…
Excuse me.
Can I confirm her number again?
You've already done so three times, ma'am.
Then why does it say
that the number doesn't exist?
Maybe it doesn't.
Or maybe she changed her number.
Then could you give me
her home number or address?
Ma'am, we're not allowed to disclose
such information to strangers.
I'm not a stranger.
She's my son's fiancée
and my daughter-in-law.
Ma'am.
Mothers don't usually ask
a hospital's administration office
for their daughter-in-law's number.
- Mom!
- Mom!
Really?
Ms. Jo taught you English?
What did you learn?
Why did that woman
teach them such terrifying words?
Guys, don't meet her from now on.
No.
We need to learn English
if we want to see you soon.
I love the US.
All right.
I hope you learn English quickly
so we can live together.
By the way, who's that guy behind you?
What?
Stop pranking me and go to bed, okay?
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
A rape and murder case occurred
in the next neighborhood.
Mi-joo.
What are you doing?
Mi-joo!
Bang Sam-sik?
Darn it.
You have all those normal clothes,
and you gave me this?
What? Do I?
You should've just gone home
after you got discharged.
Why did you come here?
Goodness.
I'm seriously regretting it myself.
Right. I'm supposed to give you tofu
since you're discharged.
- You already gave me something.
- What?
A good beating.
A painful one.
By the way, how did you know I lived here?
Well…
A long time ago,
you said that it was your dream
to open up your own nail salon.
Right.
You said the name would be Nail & Nail
and how brilliant the idea was.
So I looked up the name just in case.
And guess what? I found it.
You're incredible. You remembered that?
Of course, I did.
I remember watching you being born
while I was being carried
on my mom's back.
I'm the first guy who saw you naked.
- You lunatic.
- Goodness.
You were pretty.
Jeez.
I never visited you
while you were incarcerated.
I'm sorry.
Why would you visit me
when I was incarcerated
for committing a crime?
You didn't commit a crime.
You were used by those bad guys.
You were merely a victim.
Mi-joo.
Yes?
I realized being like that
was the worst sin you could commit.
What?
Letting others use you.
And
not being able to do anything about it
because you have no power,
money, or connections.
Just take it.
It's free.
From what I heard,
working on fishing vessels is hard work.
Take care of yourself.
And don't get caught
stealing things again.
If I ever steal anything again,
it's going to be your heart.
- Bye.
- Do you still like Kang-ho?
- What are you talking about? Go.
- Do you?
What's with you? Go!
Just go. Go home safely.
Let's be honest,
I'm way more handsome than him.
Yes, you're right.
You're more handsome.
Thanks for today and this gift. Go now.
- You're handsome.
- But--
Bye.
DISCHARGE
Goodness.
Goodness. Look at the size of this gem.
Goodness.
This is bigger than Mr. Son's tomatoes.
You're supposed to buy your parents
long johns with your first paycheck.
But you can't flaunt that,
and you like to show off.
I also felt bad
that you lost your wedding ring ages ago.
I never lost it.
I hid it in the doenjang crock
so you wouldn't steal it.
But you still found it and sold it.
I felt so happy back then.
- What?
- Because
I truly despised the ring
your dad had gotten for me.
The gem was so tiny
that it was barely visible.
What?
You had gained a lot of weight back then,
so the fat was covering the gem.
Thank you so much, Sam-sik.
Goodness, Sam-sik.
- My baby.
- What are you doing?
- Come here.
- What--
Goodness, my baby.
I can't believe you got me a ring.
- Gosh, you precious thing.
- Goodness!
It's nothing.
Just live a long life.
I'll make tons of money
so you can live comfortably.
- Gosh, my baby.
- Anyone home?
Let me go!
I didn't steal it!
I got it as my paycheck!
All right. Let's talk at the station.
Can you please just hear him out?
He said they gave it to him!
Was he going to steal things
to make our lives comfortable?
Was that it?
Bye.
- Bye.
- Dad.
- Hey.
- Gosh.
Goodness.
Excuse me!
Our son hasn't come out yet.
- What's his name?
- Bang Sam-sik.
He's…
not on the list.
- What?
- That can't be.
He said he needed money
for a discharge deposit,
so I wired it to him yesterday.
A discharge deposit?
You know,
it's to guarantee that
he'll behave once he's out.
There's no such thing.
Discharge deposits don't exist!
My goodness!
Do you know a Bang Sam-sik?
Of course, I do.
- He was discharged a week ago.
- What?
- A week ago?
- Yes.
I was totally speechless.
He stole the penitentiary's towels,
soap, and toothpaste.
Let's go.
- Darn it!
- Wait.
How much did you wire him?
Five million…
You son of a gun!
Then is it Ms. Jung's fault for laying out
the pesticide bottles by the road?
Or is it Mr. Son's fault
for running over them on his bike?
My son is a prosecutor at Seoul
Central District Prosecutors' Office.
He got the top score on the bar exam.
Goodness.
Look. My eyes aren't even.
Can I retrieve the land
even if it's under my brother's name?
- This is about your land?
- Correct.
She had taken out a dozen insurances.
- He turned out to be married.
- Oh, dear.
Please put in a good word for me
once he wakes up.
- Please.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
- Goodness.
No, I'm sorry.
- That's it for today.
- But--
Come again tomorrow.
What about just me?
Gosh.
She's done for the day.
Kang-ho.
Look at this.
They're all waiting for you to wake up.
So,
wake up soon, okay?
Your fingernails have grown so much.
Nurse.
Nurse!
Nurse!
Kang-ho woke up!
My son woke up!
Kang-ho!
Kang-ho. It's me, Mom.
Do you recognize me?
Kang-ho! It's me.
Your mom.
What's wrong?
It's me, Kang-ho.
As of now, we've given him
all the immediate treatments.
From now on,
the rehabilitation department
will take over
and monitor him.
Doctor.
He'll be able to walk again, right?
As long as we keep up with the treatment.
Right?
Let's hope for the best
as he receives his treatment.
I've seen many patients walk again
after rehabilitation.
- I see.
- However,
you need to understand
that he will be very different
from the person he used to be.
When you injure your head,
you sometimes lose most of the memories
prior to the accident.
And as for your son, he only has memories
of his childhood.
So it's like
he's become a child once again.
He also lacks cognitive ability right now.
We call that retrograde amnesia.
He's like…
a seven-year-old right now.
A seven-year-old?
Simply put, he is…
- Stupid?
- …stupid.
Well, maybe not to that extent, but…
Anyway, let's keep an eye on him.
Okay.
Thank you.
- You should go now.
- Yes, ma'am.
And could you keep the siren off?
Okay.
Ms. Jin?
Yes.
Hey, you're back.
You're back.
- I'm sorry for the trouble.
- Not at all.
Pour our guest a drink first.
I refuse to drink alcohol.
Goodness.
He flew in from Canada six months ago.
He understands Korean but can't speak it.
You're majoring in Korean
at Chungjin University, right?
You are correct.
- Right.
- You said
you needed help with your farm.
His father runs a pig farm back in Canada.
He wanted to learn about Korean pig farms
and the language itself,
so he's working part-time here.
Your name is Andrea, right?
Yes.
That's his name.
I don't know what your name means,
but if I had to guess, I'd say
it means something like "impolite."
Because you're not pouring me a drink!
- Pour him some.
- Pour me some.
It must be so tough for you all.
Don't regard it as a hardship.
What kind of bastard is teaching you
such difficult words?
This bastard.
KOREAN: DON'T REGARD IT AS A HARDSHIP
Jeez.
By the way,
has Kang-ho been discharged
from the hospital?
Yes.
Goodness.
It must've bothered him
to have treated you so harshly.
That's why he drove recklessly
and got into an accident.
I can't tell you when it'll be,
but when they set their date again,
make sure you're there at the wedding.
You must do that as his mom.
Okay.
Why did she plant so many?
This saves her money from buying pig feed.
She's always been hardworking.
What good is that
when she has an impudent son?
Jeez. There you go again.
But then again,
I'm in no position to bad-mouth her son.
- When is Sam-sik getting discharged?
- When is Mi-joo coming?
Let's get back to work.
Let's do that.
- I'm sorry.
- What?
- Goodness.
- Don't be.
- Goodness.
- Goodness.
- Long time no see.
- This is killing me.
- Goodness.
- Thank you.
Gosh, I guess it was strenuous.
I'm sore all over.
Of course.
- Gosh, I'm exhausted.
- Gum-ja, here.
Goodness. What are you doing?
I don't need that.
I'm doing this for my sake.
You must be insane.
You're making us feel bad.
Jeez, you're making me feel bad.
We didn't even visit Kang-ho
at the hospital.
Right. Where is he?
Is he here with you?
Well…
No.
Why would he be here?
He's probably back at his own home.
He's a successful prosecutor.
He must have work piled up
after months of being at the hospital.
Thank goodness.
I was worried sick.
Is he all better now?
Yes.
Kang-ho, aren't you hungry?
Let's eat.
Do you remember this?
This was your first birthday.
You're holding a gavel.
You were destined to become a prosecutor.
Don't you agree?
And this was
your elementary school graduation.
We had our first heavy snow in 30 years,
so the graduation took place in the gym.
And this was
your middle school graduation.
You received an award
in front of the entire school.
I was on cloud nine.
And this was your high school graduation.
And this was taken at the institute
after you passed the bar exam.
After the ceremony,
we ate at the cafeteria there.
We had seasoned deodeok, bulgogi,
and winter cabbage doenjang soup.
You really enjoyed them.
Ta-da.
Here.
Open up.
What's the matter?
You're off the IV fluids,
so you need to eat.
Come on. Just one spoon.
Here.
What…
What's the matter with you?
Kang-ho, just one spoon.
Young-soon.
Hey.
You were home.
What brings you here?
You've been away for months.
Your kimchi must've gone bad,
so I brought some geotjeori.
This is beef bone soup.
You must've been sick of eating
hospital food.
So enjoy this hot meal.
Gosh.
You didn't have to.
Is someone here?
Sorry?
What do you mean?
There are two sets of utensils.
- Well…
- You're right.
What's going on?
Are you hiding someone in there?
No.
This smells fishy.
Don't tell me
you seduced a young doctor.
Of course not.
Wait! Hold on!
Who's there?
What? It's Kang-ho.
People will say that it's punishment.
Young-soon.
They'll say that it would've been better
had he died instead of living like that.
Who would say such a thing?
I did.
I thought that way when I saw
others in similar situations.
But you know what?
I was wrong.
Now that I'm going through it,
I know I was wrong.
I'm just…
so grateful that he's still alive.
My Kang-ho.
My one and only child.
I'm just
truly thankful that he survived…
the accident.
I really am.
What? Kang-ho?
I'm telling you.
She used to always gloat
that her son was a prosecutor.
You really never know
what can happen to you.
You should watch what you say.
When did she ever gloat?
It may not have been obvious, but she did.
I can't believe you.
What's the matter with you?
Whatever.
I'm just upset about it.
Jeez.
Either stop dieting or stop eating meat.
Choose one!
Be quiet!
You better not
run your mouth at the mill.
What? Run my mouth?
Unbelievable.
What do you take me for?
I'm not like you.
You have no idea how tight-lipped I am.
If I were born
during the Japanese colonization,
I would've been someone like Mr. Kim Gu.
Mr. Kim Gu once said this.
"In the end,
everything stems from yourself."
So you better not run your…
I mean, you better not
tell a soul about this.
Got it?
Anyway, this is a secret.
So you can't tell anyone.
Kang-ho is stupid
It's a secret
So you can't tell anyone
Kang-ho is stupid
What?
I thought he just injured his leg.
Did you take your evening medication
before you heard that?
Of course.
If I misheard them,
you can chop off my ears with a chainsaw.
What are you talking about?
And why would I do that?
I'd just burst your eardrums.
Hold on. That's not important right now.
Then what will happen to Kang-ho?
Nothing more will happen to him.
He's already stupid.
I'm sorry for keeping you out here
by yourself.
I just don't want you…
to see him
in that condition.
But…
you know me, right?
I'll never give up.
Everyone had lost hope.
They said he would never wake up.
But look.
He survived.
And since he survived,
I'm going to make him live.
He'll get up, walk, and even run.
He's seven now.
He'll be eight next year
and nine the year after.
I'll raise him all over again.
Just watch and see.
Our son
will walk out of that room.
He'll stand here
and look at you.
I'll make sure he does.
No matter what.
CLEAN AND ODOR-FREE
KOREAN SMART PIGGERY
You're so handsome.
Did you sleep well?
Doesn't this look tasty?
Here.
It's tasty.
Cluck, cluck.
Knock, knock.
Lord!
I pray
- My Kang-ho…
- My son started his own business.
I pray that it will flourish.
Can you hear me?
- I pray to you, Lord.
- Please save my son!
You're a mother too.
So I'm sure you can empathize with me.
Please.
I pray
that he'll at least eat.
Ta-da.
Here.
Just one bite.
They made pumpkin porridge for you.
Just one bite.
It's so tasty.
It's a fish.
Come on.
You need to eat this.
What is all this?
There's sesame oil,
rice cakes, red chili powder…
Where's the rice?
Hold this for me.
What is this?
It's dead.
Is it?
Goodness me.
Damn it.
What kind of a lunatic
put an eel in a rice bowl
and put it out here?
It was me.
What?
Your wife caught it
by the stream while taking a walk.
She told me to bring it here
because it was a wild eel.
She scared me to death a few days ago
when she brought home
a wild rattlesnake.
Since we're here,
shouldn't we go inside and check on them?
Right, we should.
Gosh.
Young-soon.
Young-soon?
What are you doing there?
Goodness. There you were.
Come here.
We just came…
to give you this.
This tea is made with mulberry branches.
He should try it.
- Mulberry branches?
- Yes.
Apparently, this is helpful
for people who suffer from paralysis.
We all suffer from paralysis
at least once in our lifetime.
Don't you agree?
Right. I may not catch the flu,
but I get paralyzed every now and then.
What is that?
I was at a bookstore in town today.
This was recommended as a bestseller,
so I bought one.
You like to read.
I also got these.
You can watch them
when you're alone and lonely.
Make sure you watch them by yourself.

MARATHON
Don't do this.
If you keep doing this,
I'll become weak.
I'll want to rely on others.
But…
But I can't do that.
I need to stay strong.
So please…
There's a saying.
"A mother…
can replace anything in this world."
"But nothing…
can replace a mother."
We're not asking you to rely on us.
Yes, you should stay strong.
You're a mom, after all, right?
CHOI KANG-HO

"Mom"?
"Mom"?
Well done. "Mom."
Walk.
That's it.
Come here.
My Kang-ho. Good boy.
- Is this me?
- Yes.
Gosh, I look pretty. Thank you.
This is you.
And this is me.

Well done.
This is a slingshot.
This is a ddakji.
This is a top.
Your dad bought this robot for you
before you were born.
You were always playing with it.
It was your favorite robot.
Do you remember?
Come on.
Are you sleeping again?
Kang-ho, you should eat something.
You haven't eaten anything for days.
Kang-ho.
Kang-ho?
What's wrong with you?
Kang-ho.
Kang-ho!
It's common for patients
who are paralyzed from the neck down.
They suddenly lost the ability to move.
They lose the will to live
because of the sense of loss.
Do your best to take care of him.
If he still doesn't improve,
you should consider
admitting him to a facility.
Can a seven-year-old
feel suicidal?
Sorry?
What do you mean?
Can a seven-year-old
lose the will to live
because of a sense of loss?
Eat.
Eat!
Eat.
Eat!
Eat! Why won't you eat?
Do you seriously want to die?
You get sleepy
when you're full.
And if you get sleepy,
you won't be able to study.
What?
You get sleepy
when you're full.
And if you get sleepy,
you won't be able to study.
You get sleepy
when you're full.
And if you get sleepy,
you won't be able to study.
Is that why…
Is that why you haven't been eating?
You get sleepy when you're full.
And if you get sleepy,
you won't be able to study.
No.
No, Kang-ho.
You can eat.
You can eat now.
Look.
Look.
I'm eating too, right?
So you can eat too.
You can sleep if you're sleepy.
You don't have to study.
So please eat.
I…
love you so much, Kang-ho.
I did that because I loved you so much.
I wanted you to be happy.
I didn't want you
to end up like me and Dad.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Look. I understand that Chairman Song
ordered you to do this.
But I'm on duty right now.
I'm also on duty.
Mr. Yang Gu-man.
Mr. Yang Gu-man.
Of course, he won't open it.
- Open it.
- Yes, sir.
You can't do that. That's breaking in.
Move.
Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang.
Damn it. Open it.
Hurry. Damn it.
Mr. Yang!
Mr. Yang.
Damn it.
What? He committed suicide?
Yes, sir.
He crippled Kang-ho
who had his fate in his hands.
Then he killed the sole witness
and disguised it as suicide?
Jeez, Oh Tae-soo.
He must really despise joining
together as a family.
Oh Tae-soo?
DIAPER
The truck driver's family
lives in Yanbian, right?
Yes, sir.
Find out when and where
I should announce my presidential bid
to make it most effective.
Before you do that,
get rid of all businesses or people
who are related to Woobyeok Group.
Yes, sir.
Also, about Yang Gu-man…
"Yang Gu-man"?
Who's that?
The truck…
I'm sorry, sir.
What's the matter?
That…
Why is that here?
Why is that here?!
I found it in the trash can.
I washed it and put it here.
It's your favorite scarf.
Who? Who said it was my favorite?
Who said that?
Goodness, ma'am!
What's the matter with you?
Get rid of it this instant.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Ha-young!
Snap out of it!
Why aren't you taking proper care
of your traumatized daughter?
Throw away all her old belongings.
Replace everything single thing
with new ones.
Understand?
Okay.
Let's go out.
You're okay.
You're okay, my daughter.
Nothing will happen
to you
or me.
Kang-ho, look.
That man used to be paralyzed as well.
But he received rehabilitation
and exercised.
And now, he's healthy like that.
Isn't that incredible?
You can do it too.
Let's receive treatment and exercise
until you can move your fingers again.
Okay?
Jeez, your eyes are going to be sore.
Here.
Hello?
Yes.
Hello, this is
Hannuri Rehabilitation Center.
Did you submit an application
for Mr. Choi Kang-ho?
Yes, I did.
But we're completely full,
so I'm afraid
we can't admit him right now.
What would you like to do?
Would you like to wait?
How long will I have to wait?
I was told
that he should start rehab
before his bones become stiff.
I'm afraid I can't give you an exact date.
We need to wait until a spot opens up.
Then could you please give me a call
when there's an opening?
Please.
Thank you. Goodbye.
Kang-ho, your dinner is here.
I can't do it.
Why?
Why not?
Kang-ho, just once more.
Okay? Let's give it one last try.
- I can't do it.
- You can!
You did it earlier.
You did it.
All by yourself.
You can do it.
Okay. Here's the robot.
Push it over again.
- I can do it.
- That's right.
See? You're doing it!
Flex!
Flex!
Feed me!
Your call will be charged after the beep.
Why aren't you picking up?
Are you still unwell?
I made abalone porridge for you.
Anyway, give me a call.

BAR EXAM MEAL
- I see some light.
- Really?
- Where?
- There.
- Is no one here?
- What's going on?
Those brats must have run away.
They took our membership money.
I heard the owner changed.
- What do we do?
- Me?
There you are!
Yes. It's you.
You should pay us back
before selling the shop.
This is so ridiculous!
This isn't right. Give us our money back!
Give me back my money.
- Give it back!
- Please explain.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I heard you sold your nail salon.
- That woman says she's the new owner.
- What?
I see. Did you run this place with her?
You were supposed to clean out
the shop yesterday.
The interior contractors
will be here soon. Open the door now.
Hurry up.
- Please wait a minute.
- Wait for what?
This can't be. No.
- Where are you going?
- Where are you going?
- I need to make a call.
- Don't go far.
- Okay.
- We're watching you.
The number you have called does not exist.
Please check and call…
No way.

Sun-young, I think we'll become rich.
Should we have some soju
to celebrate this?
You drink when it's raining.
You drink when you feel lonely.
You'll soon become an alcoholic
and get the shakes.
Then you won't be able to work.
- Come on. Don't be like that.
- But…
Fine.
I'll let you go today.
- Really?
- Really.
- Mi-joo.
- Yes?
Then can I go home first?
You better go straight home.
All right.
I'll wire you this money later.
Bye.
Hey, little one.
Goodness.
Goodness.
What was the incident that just occurred?
It must've been very hungry
to jump over that.
This is what I think.
The piglet was extremely famished.
You're right.
It must've been very hungry. Goodness.
All right.
Here you go.
- Kang-ho, aren't you hungry?
- Yes.
Let's eat.
Mom?
- This is good.
- Mom.
Mom, I…
Mom.
Mom.
Why didn't you eat?
You must not be hungry.
No, Mom.
Mom, I'm hungry.
I'm hungry!
Mom, I'm hungry!
Mom!
Goodness.
Mom, I want to eat!
Mom!
Mom!
I'm sorry, Kang-ho.
Just once more.
Let me become a bad mom just once more.
No.
Mom, I can do it.
- What a shame.
- Mom, I moved my hand.
Mom, my hand… Mom.
I moved it.
Mom, I moved it.
I almost did it.
Mom…

Mom.
Let me do it once more. I almost did it.
Mom!
Like this.
- Like this.
- Like--
Mom!
- Again.
- Again.
One…
I'm a genius.
Come here.
Mom, wait.
Mom!
You're so mean!
You're eating so well.
Your mom must be so happy
to see you eating so well.
Yes?
This is Hannuri Rehabilitation Center.
A spot has opened up so your son
can be admitted next week.
Really?
Does that mean he can receive
rehabilitation starting next week?
Thank you.
Thank you so much. Goodbye.
Kang-ho.
Kang-ho, you can finally…
You did it.
THE GOOD BAD MOTHER
I'm not an idiot.
- Butterfly.
- Wrong.
I just returned to my childhood.
This is a chance given from above.
She didn't say I couldn't go out.
Right?
Kang-ho!
Choi Kang-ho!
What did my son do so wrong
for you to do this here?
Because his hands are now also dirty.
I can't believe you've never called.
Where have you been, you jerk?
I'll earn a lot of money
and pay off all of your debt.
Ye-jin! Seo-jin!
