Deok-sun! Isn't it time
for your father to be home?
What time is it now?
Not yet.
Do we trim all of these?
Yeah!
Deok-sun.
I think Dad will be late.
Jongno is in chaos.
After the police threw tear gas
Abolish the government!
Abolish it!
Geez, really
You can't ever go around
doing things like that. Okay, punk?
Just study hard. Yeah.
Thank you.
Wait.
Come over here.
Take this and eat something tasty.
Hurry up and take it.
Make sure you wash up
before you go home.
Go home.
Deok-sun, set the table!
I'm bringing the food over!
Okay!
Oh, it hurts.
Oh, no! Mom, are you okay?
Let me see your foot.
Oh, my!
Oh my, it's bleeding!
-It hurts a lot.
-Bandage!
It's okay.
It's no big deal, let's eat.
You're hungry, right?
So why did you transfer at Jonggak?
Students are always protesting there.
What am I supposed to do then?
Other places are even worse off!
Jongno, Euljiro, and Daehakro
all are full of protesting students--
What should I do? It'll be difficult to
get the tear gas out of my suit.
Even my eyes are stinging.
Oh, yeah.
Where's Bo-ra? She's not home yet?
She is busy these days.
Yes, that's right.
She must be studying hard.
Well, college students should study hard.
And you two, be alert and study hard
like Bo-ra, okay?
I'm back.
Bo-ra, you're home?
Come and eat.
You haven't eaten yet, right?
Come and eat! Come--
What's that smell?
What?
Hey! Are you protesting?
Stop right there!
Come over here.
Oh, my. This little brat
is going around protesting!
Have you lost your mind?
You want to see me foam at the mouth
and die?
What's with you?
It's none of your business!
What did you say?
Of course it's my business, punk!
How dare an Education major
go around protesting?
Have you completely lost it?
You think I worked my fingers to the bone
so that you could go around protesting?
Bo-ra, hurry up and say you're sorry!
Are you crazy? Why should I?
What did I do wrong?
What?
Look at this girl, mouthing off at me!
-Dad!
-You punk!
Bo-ra, say that you won't do it again!
Now!
Geez! What do you know, Dad?
You--
Bo-ra!
Bo-ra!
What about dinner? Eat something
before you go to sleep at least!
I'll make the fried egg
that you like so much.
Fried egg, my ass!
Are you crazy?
Crazy bitch!
I won't even waste a single grain
of rice on that impudent girl!
How dare an Education major
go around protesting?
Oh my, oh my! Mother, Father!
Your granddaughter lost her mind
and is going to ruin our entire family!
You've really raised her well!
Way to go! I ought to kill her!
2:00 P.M. GARAK-DONG
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HEADQUARTERS
What? Bo-ra?
Bo-ra, that girl
what if she gets taken away?
Geez I don't know who she takes after.
It's fine!
All the college students protest nowadays.
-It's okay if she doesn't stand in front.
-That's right.
As long as she's not the ones
who go like this at the front, it's okay.
Don't worry too much.
Don't you know how stubborn she is?
Her dad was in an uproar,
but she just wouldn't apologize.
Instead, she glared at him
and talked back to him. Geez.
Seeing that, Bo-ra isn't close
with her dad.
Isn't the eldest daughter usually
close to her dad?
What do you mean?
They're extremely close!
It just seems that way,
but that's not the case.
Bo-ra is the problem, it's not her father.
It's not like Bo-ra is the gentle type
or has any cute traits about her.
I like Deok-sun way better
even if she's last place all the time.
Bo-ra is scary!
Even so, Bo-ra is going to become
really successful one day.
She's not a normal kid.
She definitely isn't.
She's really not a normal kid.
I don't want much.
I just hope she doesn't get expelled
from school.
That guy is popular these days.
He's so handsome.
He's tall and has a great body.
-Who is he?
-That guy.
All of the kids will imitate him now.
All of the chairs will probably break.
Underwear.
Sun-woo, show me one more time.
You, really.
Where are you going?
Yes, he just arrived.
Get out of the way!
Hey!
SCIENCE
Jin-ju.
I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all.
Give me a kiss, so I can get better soon.
Jin-ju, Run, Honey is on TV now.
That's right!
You leave too, Mom.
I just stretched a ligament. I'm fine.
-Go do what you need to do.
-Is there anything you want to eat?
Am I a kid? No, there isn't.
I'm making beef bone soup.
-What?
-Beef bone soup.
Ah, Mom!
Isn't there anything you want to eat?
I'll buy you anything.
I'm fine. I don't need anything.
Can I have 300 won worth of bean sprouts
and tofu?
2,000 WON
It's 700 won altogether.
Buy a banana.
I heard that Sun-woo got hurt.
-How much is one?
-It's 2,000 won.
You should splurge a little
when your child is sick!
When will you ever buy it again?
Jin-ju! Mommy bought some bananas!
Really?
BANANA-FLAVORED MILK
Can I have a sip?
It's that good?
What about Sun-woo?
Did you give him one?
-Yeah.
-Good girl.
Deok-sun
Go home for today. It's late.
You're worried about me,
even in this state?
He's worried about himself, not you.
He'll only be able to sleep if you leave.
Aren't you going home?
-What are you two going to do if I leave?
-Why do you care?
Hey.
Stop fighting and leave, both of you.
I don't even have money.
Do I need to borrow from Mi-ran, again?
Oh, my.
They say that when it rains, it pours.
When will I be able to live with
1,000 briquettes stacked to the ceiling?
Who ordered the charcoal briquettes?
-Me!
-Yes!
Yes! Here! We ordered them!
-Yes!
-Yes, welcome!
I'm coming!
Yes! Over here!
All right!
All right! Closer!
-Yes!
-All right!
All right! Okay!
All right!
I should bring out some drinks
for you guys.
Who knew I would ever see a day
like this?
Today is the day
you receive the briquettes!
Yeah.
Wow!
How many are those?
One thousand.
Oh, my. You really are a rich.
If it's 1,000, how much money is that?
When will I be able to stack
briquettes like this in my life?
What are you saying? I was using
firewood just three years ago.
You're right.
You were also like that, right?
It hasn't been long, but I forgot already.
Don't make dinner tonight.
Why not?
I made abalone porridge.
I heard that Sun-woo hurt his leg.
Why did you go through the trouble
of making that?
Then, can I just have a little bit?
I'm expecting a guest tonight.
Who?
Their grandma.
What? Why would she come?
How much is she going to aggravate you
this time?
She's coming to see her
precious grandchildren, not me.
I don't care anymore.
She treated you so terribly
after your husband died.
She said that you devoured
her precious son alive!
How much did she vent at you, honestly?
Is it so great to be a mother-in-law?
Did she earn that position?
Geez When I think of that day,
I get so angry.
Is she the only one who lost her son?
Does she not think of you
who became a widow at a young age?
She's the one who cut ties with you,
thinking you're unlucky.
So why is she coming to see you, now?
It pisses me off.
It's fine!
Why are you getting so worked up?
I'm upset for you just from watching.
You can't even say a word, like a fool.
So frustrating.
What's the point of saying anything?
It'll just hurt my own mouth.
I really don't care anymore.
I'm going to think of her as a stranger.
But are you going to dress like this?
-What's wrong with this?
-You don't have anything new?
It's okay. Are looks important?
Even though I look like this,
I'm not embarrassed at all.
I'm really not going to care anymore.
-Put this on.
-Can I?
Oh, how nice.
-Wait, it doesn't suit you.
-Stop it! I'm wearing it!
All right, then.
Sun-woo.
If there's anything you need,
call me right away. Okay?
Okay. Goodbye.
-You're out of rice?
-I'm going to buy some today.
-You should have--
-I'll take care of it.
Why is Sun-woo so skinny?
He lost more weight than before.
Don't you care about your children?
Also, do you have nothing but that
to wear?
Look at you.
So grim.
Pathetic.
Any luck coming to you will run away.
And why is the house so cold?
Do you not light the briquettes?
What if the kids catch a cold?
Geez!
What do you do in the house?
Do you earn money or work?
You ate my son.
You live off my kid's pension
and live in my house.
But can't you even raise
the kids properly?
We're living well.
I'm raising my kids just fine, too.
Don't worry about it.
How could I not worry
when you're living like this?
Are you doing this to spite me?
Are you trying to show me
how unlucky you are?
Why did my son like this kind of girl?
What a terrible fate.
What crime did I commit in my past life
to be associated with you?
Why do you have to put it like that?
I also am
my mother's precious daughter.
If my mom knew that I was hearing
horrible words like this,
she would weep tears of blood.
I will not hear such horrible words
at least for my pitiful mother's sake.
Please
don't ever come here again.
Even if I have to shave my head,
I'll do whatever it takes
to raise my kids well.
Even if I can't buy them
brand-name shoes,
I won't let them starve
and will buy them pretty clothes
and will live a life
that nobody would consider shameful.
So
Please!
Don't ever come here again
so the three of us can live in peace!
Please don't come here anymore!
From now on, I won't see you anymore.
Even if you come to see us,
I won't open the door!
You got that?
Buy the kids some clothes.
It's fine.
This isn't for you. It's for my kids!
How dare she Gosh!
I don't need it. I'll clothe my own kids.
Goodbye.
Stranger is better.
Stranger is better.
Sun-woo! Eat this before you go to sleep.
Jung-hwan's mom made
abalone porridge for you.
Stop sweeping the alley!
Is it because you're lonely?
-Hello.
-Yes.
Is Taek home?
Did he come back yesterday?
Yes. He came home yesterday.
Dad, the hot water doesn't work.
What?
-Hello.
-Hi.
-You didn't eat breakfast yet, right?
-Yes.
I made some abalone porridge,
so come and get it.
-I put some aside for you.
-Thank you.
Yeah.
-You have a microwave at home, right?
-Yes.
Keep it in the refrigerator.
Whenever you eat,
put some in a different plate
and use the microwave.
You have small bowls at home, right?
Not glass ones, but ceramic.
Put about two scoops in a small bowl and--
Forget it. I'll call your dad. Go on.
Goodbye.
What brings you here this early?
-Did you get home last night?
-Yeah.
You didn't go to school today?
Today's Sunday.
-Oh.
-Geez I'm so jealous of you.
Jung-hwan. Go buy one square of tofu.
Okay. Let's go.
-Thank you!
-Okay!
Open your eyes!
Oh it's Taek. Hi, Taek.
Oh, hi.
-You didn't sleep well?
-No.
Deok-sun!
When did you get back, Taek?
Last night.
What brings you here like that?
Oh
Deok-sun, lend me
a Korean to English dictionary.
Mine? You came to borrow mine?
With that leg?
Don't you have that?
No, I don't.
Really?
Well, yeah. Hers is totally new.
It's better than spending money
on a new one.
Shut it.
Is your leg okay?
I just stretched a ligament. I'm fine.
Wait here, Sun-woo. I'll bring it.
No, it's fine. I can walk that much.
Hey, hey.
I'm fine!
I'm fine.
No, no other side. Yeah.
I'm fine. Oh yeah. I'm okay.
I'm fine! Hey, watch the stairs.
Mother.
The room is cold.
Did the briquettes go out?
Your father put it out
early this morning.
I just re-ignited it, so wait a bit.
Pass me a dish.
Go back to your room.
Honey. The toilet's clogged again.
Set the table.
-Lower the volume!
-Okay.
Did you see the newspaper?
Mother!
What?
I cut my finger.
Where?
Where?
Honey, the steamed egg is overflowing.
Come quickly!
Turn off the flame then!
-This is from yesterday.
-I turned it off!
It's still overflowing!
Hurry over here!
Mom, what about today's newspaper?
The egg is exploding! Hurry over!
-You're not going to die!
-Why do you only ever treat me this way?
Geez, you guys, really.
Oh, my. Did the sun rise
from the west today?
What do you mean?
Our Deok-sun isn't sleeping late
on Sunday and woke up early.
I'm seeing her eat like that.
Dad. I go to the study room nowadays.
I have to go right after I eat breakfast.
Oh, my.
Wow. It seems like
our daughter is going to start studying.
How long have you been going there?
You never even told me!
Today's her first day.
She hasn't even gone once yet.
I registered, at least.
Thank you for the meal! I have to go.
Oh, my
Dad. You didn't know that Deok-sun has
a chronic illness, right?
A chronic illness?
What do you mean by that?
What chronic illness does she have?
SOCIOLOGY, MATHEMATICS,
MATHEMATICS
LUNCH
PREPARATION
DINNER
DO NOT SLEEP STUDY ROOM
A chronic illness?
What are you talking about?
What chronic illness does she have?
Food coma.
It's been a long time since she got it.
By the way,
is Bo-ra still sleeping? I don't see her.
She went to school.
She has finals starting tomorrow.
She left early to get a seat
at the library.
What if she went out early
to go to another protest?
No! Why can't you trust me?
She really left carrying a bag of books.
Oh, my! That girl is so popular lately!
What's her name, again?
Lee Mi-yeon.
Wow.
How great would it be
if Lee Mi-yeon was my older sister?
How is she so different from Deok-sun,
when they're the same age?
Hey. That girl is the same age
as Deok-sun?
Yeah. She's 18, just like Deok-sun.
Someone looks like that
while others ugh.
Hey, you bastard.
What's wrong with our Deok-sun?
In my eyes, Deok-sun is so much prettier!
Yeah. I agree.
In my eyes, Deok-sun is better.
Father, it's time
for the Cosby Show to be on.
I'm going to play it again
when Green House starts.
What is this?
Jung-bong. Stop spilling crumbs
everywhere! Clean them up!
Honey, take your feet off the TV!
It'll get dirty!
Or put socks on, at least!
Geez! What a bunch of animals.
Unbelievable.
Move your foot!
Hello?
Hi, Mi-suk.
Why did she go up to the mountains again?
It's not like chestnuts are
even worth much.
Okay. I'll come.
Why isn't she going to the hospital?
Just wait. I'll take her.
Okay, bye.
Your grandmother sprained her ankle.
Did she get really hurt?
I don't know. She won't go
to the hospital, so I have to go see her.
Let's go together. It's been a while
since I've been to Gohan.
Stay here. Do you want to starve the kids?
Okay. I'm going to be away for two days.
If you want to live, listen carefully
to what I have to say. Okay?
Here are the underwear,
undershirts, and socks. Understand?
Here. The briquette turned off.
Then what should you do?
-Charcoal?
-Bingo!
Here. If it sticks together?
-Kitchen knife.
-That's right!
This is marinated beef.
You just need to fry it in the frying pan.
These greens are going to go bad,
so have them for lunch and dinner.
As for the salad and black beans,
put them in smaller bowls.
I have a question.
Can't we just order in?
I said to cook it!
I made all the side dishes!
Make sure you check the gas.
And drain the toilet water all the way
or else it'll clog.
And you have to eat the greens by today.
Jung-hwan.
Use your hand to measure how much
water to use for rice--
We understand. Hurry up and go!
Your mother is waiting!
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
My feet won't move.
I ironed your uniform and drill uniform
and put them in your room--
Hurry up and go!
We'll take care of ourselves.
Leave the alley!
Go and play!
Okay! Go!
-You--
-Go!
MAYONNAISE
MARGARINE
SUGAR
DO NOT SLEEP STUDY ROOM
Hey.
Stop sleeping!
How many hours have you slept?
Just go home and sleep.
What time is it now?
-The sun set already.
-It's 7:00 p.m.
-I'm going home for a moment.
-Why? Did something happen at home?
It's dinnertime.
Why are college students
doing this lately?
Don't they know how much they're
hurting their parents by doing this?
Oh yeah, Deok-sun.
You studied hard
at the study room today, right?
Yeah.
Good. You know
I don't even wish for you to do
as well as your sister.
Just half. Just do half.
Then I'll be so happy, I'll run around
the neighborhood 200 times.
Just look at your sister.
She worked so hard to get into college,
and yet she still studies so hard.
So make sure you come to your senses too,
and study really hard, okay?
-Okay.
-Okay. No-eul,
you just have to stay healthy.
What's wrong?
THE DEMOCRATIC JUSTICE PARTY
OCCUPATION PROTES
Bo-ra
What should I do?
Oh, my God. What will Bo-ra do?
I should go outside.
Where's my top?
Wait Wait for a moment.
Where is my clothing?
Oh, thank God. Bo-ra.
Oh, my oh, my.
Thank God you're safe, Bo-ra.
Thank God.
You little get over here.
Get over here!
-Dad!
-Let me go!
You crazy bitch!
Have you decided to ruin your life?
Will you finally come to your senses
after I pass out?
Huh?
If you get arrested while protesting,
you'll become a criminal.
If you become a criminal,
you'll take our entire family down!
All right?
It's not only your life you're ruining.
Your mother.
What about your mom?
She believed only in you her whole life.
What are you going to do about your mom?
You think your mother will be able
to live properly if that happens?
Huh?
And yet you still choose to protest?
Still you protest!
No-eul. Get me the scissors.
I'll cut off all her hair
so she can't go outside!
Hurry up and get it, bastard!
Bo-ra, hurry up and say you're sorry.
Say sorry to your father.
Why should I? What did I do wrong?
What did you just say?
-I'll kill you!
-Please! She won't do it anymore.
-She won't do it anymore!
-You think she's going to listen?
Huh?
From now on,
you don't need school or anything.
You will stay inside your room.
Got that?
Until you say that you'll never protest
and beg for forgiveness,
don't come out of the room.
And you!
Don't give her a drop of water
until she begs for forgiveness.
Got that?
Hurry up and say you're sorry, Bo-ra!
I didn't do anything wrong.
-What? Come here, you wench!
-Honey! Honey
Listen carefully.
If anyone gives her a drink of water,
I will turn over this whole family!
No one is to care
if she lives or dies.
-Understand?
-Okay.
Don't give her anything.
Don't you dare.
That damned girl.
We sacrificed so much for her.
Even though we scrimped and saved
when it came to our own things,
we never hesitated to give her the best.
I wanted to treat her
like the smart and precious child
that we told everyone she was!
We did our best for her, that wench!
She's aware of all that,
and yet she has the gall to do this
to her parents?
All of her upperclassmen were captured.
What if they take Bo-ra away, too?
What if she gets a criminal record?
If so, then all the college students
will have criminal records.
Don't worry.
Even if she gets arrested, she just has to
write a confession statement.
-What's a confession statement?
-It's--
Writing that you did wrong.
You write that you did wrong.
If she writes that, she'll be released.
Darn it. She's done for!
She's Sung Bo-ra.
She'll never say that
what she did was wrong.
You know how she is.
Yeah, I know.
But you said that she made it home.
Then she'll be fine.
Oh, you're here?
Yeah.
What are you two doing?
-What?
-What are you two doing?
What do you mean?
We're just conversing here.
You know, talking.
What's with you? I'm leaving.
Where are you going?
To the study room.
What?
Deok-sun goes to the study room.
Hey, do you know what time it is?
The sun set already.
I'll be back before 12:00 a.m.
I'm a person who does it if I say it.
Hey, even if your face is a weapon,
being out past 12 is dangerous.
Just give up on college
like me.
The study room is right there.
I'll be back before 12:00 a.m. Bye!
Bye, friend!
Yes, this is Master Choi Taek's home.
Yes.
Yes.
Who is it? Is it the academy?
-Your dad.
-What?
He's hungry,
so he wants you to make dinner.
What is this?
Jung-hwan.
Grandpa once said this.
"All things expand and shrink."
If you have hot water on the bottom
and cold water on top,
the two different temperatures work
together in harmony to do this.
We can make them come apart like this.
My son.
Is it done?
Should I help?
Dad, it's burning!
It's cold over there.
Come over here and sleep.
Don't you worry whether I die or not.
What if she leaves while I'm sleeping?
Huh?
I'm going to guard this door
the whole night,
so go ahead and sleep.
And Deok-sun is not home yet?
It's almost midnight!
She should come home earlier!
Did she fall asleep?
Gosh!
I'm home!
Okay. Come home earlier.
Okay.
Sun-woo! Breakfast!
Okay!
Mom, we're eating in here?
It's okay. Eat outside.
The room is warm. It's better.
Let's eat in here.
Why aren't you eating?
Oh, I'll eat.
We don't have a lot of side dishes.
I should make you some meat dishes.
It's fine!
I don't even like meat that much.
It's delicious.
Who is that? It's so early.
Hello?
Mom, what's up?
What?
Is he badly hurt?
He was probably not watching his step,
as usual! Which hospital?
You don't need to come!
I can take care of him! Geez, Mom.
You have to hurry up
and get Tae-soo married, already!
What?
You're going to come to my house?
Terminal?
You arrived in Seoul?
I have some things to give you
and I wanted to see Sun-woo and Jin-ju,
so I'll be dropping by for a bit.
It'll only take me 30 minutes
to get there by bus.
You don't need to pick me up!
I'll take a taxi and be right there.
I'll just drop by for a bit and just have
a glass of water and go.
You don't need to worry. Not one bit.
See you soon!
You're not going to work today, Dad?
He's taking the day off.
He's watching Bo-ra.
Even so, we should at least feed her.
She didn't even have dinner last night.
I told you, no!
Until she begs for forgiveness
with her own mouth, we will not.
I worked so hard to send her to a good
college and this is how she repays me.
She won't come to her senses
unless she starves.
Don't you dare sneak her anything.
Got it?
Dad. The briquettes went out?
No, they didn't. I changed them
early this morning.
It's so cold.
The fire's fine. What's the problem?
Grandpa once said this.
"There are two different types
of briquette boilers."
The type that uses the briquette
as a direct source of heat
and the type that uses briquettes to
heat water, which in turn heats rooms.
Our home uses the latter.
If the briquette is fine
but the room is still cold,
the issue lies with
this one.
The probability is 100% that the water
to make hot water is all gone.
Jung-hwan.
What's for breakfast today?
Oh.
It's your favorite.
Is it, perhaps
ramen?
I need something to put this on!
Yay!
What about Dad?
Dad! Have breakfast!
Kids,
the toilet is clogged again.
I just lost my appetite.
What should I do?
The plunger doesn't work either.
Grandpa once said this.
"If the floor is full of feces,
you will enjoy wealth."
I have a good feeling about this one.
Stop spouting bullcrap
and do something about this.
Then, I'll leave the rest to you.
Sun-woo! Your grandma is coming!
It's an emergency!
Change your clothes!
Don't eat and clean the table!
Here, this one.
Wash your face first!
I have to go to school.
Oh, right.
All right.
I'll return it after using it
for a moment!
RICE
These, too!
Jung-bong! Can you help me?
Oh it's falling.
You scared me!
It is finished.
Jung-bong, thanks so much.
I'll put everything back later.
You can take your time with that.
Wow. This is perfect.
Won't I get caught?
These are sesame seeds,
and these are cassia seeds.
Make it into tea and give it to Sun-woo.
It's good for the eyes.
Mom. They sell this stuff in Seoul, too.
Why did you bring it here?
Oh, geez.
Mom, also
Eat something before you go.
I called Tae-soo and he seems fine.
Things like that happen
when you're a cab driver.
Mom, you can go slowly.
No, I have to hurry up and go.
Jin-ju, I'm leaving!
Already?
Mom, it hasn't been ten minutes
since you've arrived. Stay a bit longer!
What can I do if I stay here longer?
Oh, my. It'll only stress you out more.
Stay here.
I'm leaving now.
Mom! You should stay a bit longer!
Geez! You really don't listen!
Where's your bathroom?
I kept drinking so much juice, so
Over there.
Go back inside!
You're in such a hurry!
Oh, hello, Sun-woo's grandmother!
Yes! How are you?
You're doing well, right?
Yes. You're leaving already?
My son hurt his leg,
so I have to go see him at the hospital.
Then
-Yes.
-I'm off!
I'm leaving now!
Have a safe trip!
-Thank you!
-Bye, Mom.
She came here for the first time in
a while, but didn't even stay the night?
She came here because of your brother's
leg injury? Is he badly hurt?
I don't think so.
She came here to spy on me.
She came to see how I live.
She worries that I don't eat properly
and such. You think I don't know?
Is that so?
Look at me. I've been doing all sorts
of crazy things since this morning!
But I didn't get caught!
Oh, yeah. Is Bo-ra okay?
No, she's not okay.
Her dad didn't even go to work today,
so that he could watch her.
Geez! She didn't even have anything
to eat. I'm so worried about her!
-Eat.
-Oh.
Put it here.
Oh, my. That's all the side dishes
you have for me?
Yes. Just eat.
You should have made me
a fried egg, at least.
We don't have any eggs!
Anyway
What about you?
You're not eating with me?
Do you think I'll be able to eat?
How inhumane.
-Oh!
-Oh! Mrs. Sung.
What are you doing outside
on such a chilly day?
My heart feels cramped.
Mi-ran hasn't come back yet?
No. She's coming back tomorrow.
It's vacation for your family's boys.
-The house is a mess, right?
-No.
We're getting by so well.
It's because we don't do it.
If we do it, we're good at it.
I see.
Oh, my. You should wear socks.
It's cold.
You're going to drink?
Yes. I should drink it
while my wife is gone.
My husband is home today, too.
Oh, really?
Then we can have a drink together!
Yes!
There's no use in getting
your kids educated.
Even if you get them to study hard,
they act like they're hot shit
and do whatever they want.
Even so
I wish Jung-bong could be half of
what Bo-ra is.
Even though he's my child,
he's so hazy.
I'm worried.
Because my wife and I had
a soft spot for him,
we just let him do as he wished.
But I'm really worried about him.
But, is Bo-ra fine?
I don't want to eat.
Eat a little!
Are you planning to starve to death?
I'm not hungry and I have no appetite.
Just have one spoonful and sleep.
I made your favorite. Just have one bite.
I told you, I'm not eating!
Leave me alone!
Just one spoonful, Bo-ra! Okay?
Just one. Please?
Then I'll leave it here.
So eat it later whenever you want to.
Okay?
If you don't want to eat now,
eat later, at least.
Got it?
Jin-ju!
I have to wash that again! You, really.
Your arms.
Whose daughter is my little Jin-ju?
Mommy's daughter!
Oh, my child!
Jin-ju, what do you want to eat?
What should we eat?
Banana.
Banana?
You had that yesterday too, though.
Banana!
Okay. Let's go buy some later.
Go to your room.
Go!
To my kind and beautiful daughter.
I don't have much money,
so I couldn't put in a lot.
Buy some pretty clothes
for yourself, my daughter.
My daughter, whom I love so much
Don't live life with your head hung low.
You've done nothing wrong!
Take care.
Mom really
When did she see that?
I can't believe her.
The laundry--
Oh, geez. Way to go.
Sun-young. Have you seen Bo-ra?
No, I haven't seen her.
Why? She's not home?
Where did she go?
Oh, geez.
No, I haven't seen her.
She didn't come by here.
Okay.
Mr. Choi. Did you see Bo-ra?
Did she pass by here?
No, I didn't see her.
-Oh, my. What do I do?
-Mrs. Sung!
Here.
You're Sung Bo-ra, right?
Sophomore, Math Education major
at Seoul University. Sung Bo-ra, right?
You know Jo Heung, right?
Student body president
at Seoul University, Jo Heung.
He's your leader, isn't he?
You participated in the illegal protest
in Garak-dong, Songpa-gu, didn't you?
No, I didn't do it.
Look at this bastard.
Cooperate and come with us
while we're still being civil.
Bo-ra!
What is it?
Bo-ra.
It's not our daughter.
You can't take her away.
-Madam--
-Do you know what kind of daughter she is?
She's the smartest kid
in the entire neighborhood.
She's even smarter than the kids
from rich families!
She could've gone to
Seoul University's law school,
but she wanted to get a scholarship,
so she settled for the Education major.
Her dream was to be a prosecutor
or a judge,
but she didn't want to burden
her parents financially,
so she talked to the teacher
and applied to Seoul University.
You know Seoul University, right?
They only accept
the smartest kids in our country!
She was never tutored or went to a cram
school, but she got in on her first try!
That's the type of daughter
my daughter is.
Do you know how many days
our neighborhood celebrated?
Even her father's company sent flowers
as a congratulatory gift.
Also, when she was graduating
high school,
she got an award from the principal
as the student representative!
She also made the top ten
when it came to her SAT scores!
Her uncle works
at a provincial government building,
and he's close with the governor.
And one of her cousins is going
to medical school now!
Also, do you know about her father?
He worked so hard for 20 years at a bank
that he received an award
from the president of the bank!
He even had dinner with her.
He said that there couldn't be a smarter
or kinder daughter in the world.
The president even gave her
some spending money!
And he even drove her all the way home
in his personal car!
I'm sorry for what I did.
Bo-ra! Don't say such nonsense!
What I did was wrong!
No! My child would never do that!
I said, what I did was wrong!
I'll go to the police station.
No, Bo-ra! You did nothing wrong!
My child isn't that kind of child!
Let's go.
I told you, my daughter
would never do that!
-Please let go, Ma'am.
-Let go!
My child isn't that kind of child!
Sometimes, I was embarrassed
of my mom.
Sometimes, I was mad about why Mom
doesn't have a bit of honor or pride.
That is because there is something
more precious than herself.
It was because of me.
I didn't know then.
When people get stronger,
it's not through their pride,
but when they throw away their pride.
That's why
Mom is strong.
Mom, I'm home!
Oh, my child!
Jin-ju!
How are you?
Did Jung-hwan drop you off?
Of course. It's good for him.
He doesn't need to do the night study.
-I'll go wash up first.
-Okay.
Hello?
Tae-soo, are you all right?
Geez, you're so old,
and yet you're still bothering Mom.
How are you going to get by without Mom?
Is Mom awake?
Put her on the line.
10,000 WON
Hello?
Mom.
Sun-young?
Hello?
Why am I like this?
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
They say that God created mothers
because they can't be everywhere at once.
Even when I'm at the age
to be a mom,
my mom is always my guardian.
Even saying the word, "mom,"
hurts my heart.
Mom
is still strong.
ERADICATION OF COMMUNISM
PREVENTION OF ESPIONAGE
Is Bo-ra okay?
Well, she will be released soon.
What a relief.
That's good, then.
It'll be okay.
But it's time she comes out.
Didn't you quit smoking?
Yeah.
Just give her a stiff punishment!
Sit her down and give her a scary look
and strike fear into her heart!
Geez. Why should I do that?
It's not like she did something bad.
How could I make her
get on her knees and yell at her?
Banana.
Okay. The biggest one is for Jin-ju!
And, this one is for Mom!
I'm not going to eat. You eat it.
Then I won't eat it either.
-Let's throw it out.
-Okay! I'll eat it!
Is it yummy, Jin-ju?
I'm home!
Armour of God?
What about Dad?
What about dinner?
-I'm hungry.
-Okay.
I used all the leftovers
to make fried rice.
I fried dumplings, too.
Hello?
-Who was it?
-Who was it?
Mom.
She just arrived at the terminal.
Are you done?
What are you doing? Hurry up and clean!
When did you play badminton?
What about the briquettes?
You didn't let it go out?
Of course we didn't.
That room is really warm.
It's raining.
You didn't bring the laundry in, right?
-I did.
-He brought it and put it in the wardrobe.
Honey.
See? I told you we'd be fine.
We were totally fine without you here!
Don't you worry about us! Okay?
Aren't you hungry?
I fried your favorite dumplings.
I'm fine. You eat some.
Since it's raining and all,
do you want to have some soju?
It's time to go to sleep what soju?
Drink by yourself.
-You want some kimchi pancakes, then?
-It's fine! Go and watch TV.
Why?
Why doesn't she feel good?
I guess your house is messy.
No way. We cleaned everything.
We cleaned, did the laundry
and dishes perfectly.
We changed all the briquettes
and ate all the side dishes.
I'm sure she was shocked.
She doesn't even have to lift a finger.
Jung-hwan.
Yeah?
HAPPY RAMEN
What?
Mom, Jung-bong burned his hands!
Geez, I can't believe you!
How old are you that you can't
even make ramen properly?
Gosh! They're stuck again.
Scissors
Mom! Dad broke the briquettes again!
Jesus!
Way to go!
You can't even do anything properly!
Mom! Have you seen my shorts?
Geez!
Right here!
You can't even find this?
I didn't see it.
Gosh, you morons.
What would you all do without me?
Nobody can do anything properly.
Let's eat together.
What kind are those?
Kimchi dumpling, your favorite.
With soju?
If you want to.
I'm forcing myself to eat it.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Jung-hwan.
You don't know why your mom is gloomy?
No.
It's because the family was doing so well.
You all were doing too well without her.
-Let's make a toast!
-Cheers!
It's been a while!
It's been a while?
It's only been two days.
Nice!
Honey, I realized something
without you around.
-What is it?
-These guys are all trash without you.
When one is at the age
when one can console one's mother,
it's when one has matured to say
"Thank you" and "I love you."
If one wishes to make one's mother happy,
the words, "Mom, I need you,"
are more than enough.
DEOK-SUN'S
Darn it.
Darn it!
Come home early.
Where are you going?
To get some batteries!
Hi!
Why are you moving around
when your leg is hurt?
It's almost healed.
What's up?
I came to borrow a sewing kit.
-Where are you going?
-To buy batteries.
-I have some.
-Really?
-Let's go to my house. I'll give you some.
-Okay.
Hello!
Oh! Hi, Jung-hwan!
I need to use the bathroom.
Go to my room.
He has everything in alphabetical order.
What a freak.
What a freak.
SUNG DEOK-SUN'S
Look at this. It looks brand new.
SUNG DEOK-SUN'S
SUN-WOO
Do you want a drink?
I have someone I like.
I think he'll do it soon.
I feel it.
It's about time that he called already
You're head's going to fall off
while you're waiting!
Deok-sun, should I make you
another ramen?
Geez, you bastard.
Sit.
It's fine. I have no interest
in other people's love lives.
Bye.
I think it's going to be hard
for Taek this time.
I don't think he's in a good state.
The game begins now.
Even in Go, he's wary against strangers.
Do you want to bet
whether she comes or not?
She will come. Watch.
Deok-sun!
On the day of the first snow.
Confess on the first day
that it snows, okay?
