(Episode 1)
Ma'am, this is self service!
What an old mule.
Consider this old mule deaf.
(Staff only)
It's perfect to die here.
(Pardon me, but I'm not curious about you.)
- Next customers, please come in. - Okay.
Welcome.
- One large jjamppong, please. - Welcome.
Okay, one large jjamppong!
- May we have some water? - One moment, please.
- Here you go. - Please wait a minute.
Why not?
Why would I go to your alumni reunion when I don't go to mine?
It won't hurt you to join me at my reunion.
We have to pick up Hee Ja and Jeong A.
Do you expect us to walk to such a far place?
Here are two dishes of sweet and sour pork.
Two sweet and sour pork!
Then why did you get a DUI and get your license revoked?
What if I had also driven drunk during the day?
My daughter is perfect.
You don't get to say anything since you're young.
Stop being so stubborn.
You should write. Isn't it good to see your grandmother?
Don't use her as an excuse.
You shouldn't give me a hard time about my writing.
- Even if you're frustrated... - You're the one who's frustrated,
so you should feel free to write.
Weren't your grandmother's stories helpful when you debuted?
Write short stories about my friends this time.
Every family has a story of its own.
It'd make a huge drama.
You can't translate all your life.
Where's the jjajangmyeon?
It's not ready yet.
Why did you hurt your arm? Shall I break it?
I'm helping out here instead of working because of you.
Three bowls of jjajangmyeon, please.
I'll take it.
Okay, here goes one large jjajangmyeon.
Please come.
I feel too uncomfortable.
You know Hee Ja's husband passed away, right?
That happened more than a year ago. It didn't happen yesterday.
Of course, I know that.
Hee Ja's husband died in his closet.
Honey, wake up.
Wake up already.
Wake up.
The sun's up.
I never asked and I don't care to know.
I'll never go to your alumni reunion.
I don't want to see Joon Hee...
who curses whenever he drinks.
Who's the lady who doesn't have much hair with small eyes and...
- only curses her children? - You mean Mi Ri?
Yes, Mi Ri. I detest her.
That's good since they've both passed away.
Joon Hee fell down the stairs of his apartment and died last winter.
Mi Ri died of a heart attack this winter.
That's what happens to old mules.
There are funerals every time we have a reunion.
Are you threatening me?
Plus, who buys books about old mules?
People don't even care about their own parents these days.
- Like you? - Yes.
Must you say it like that?
Stop it.
Don't you know how good they were to you when you were young?
When I was too busy working,
they took you out shopping, fed you and gave you allowance.
You shouldn't be hard on them just because you've grown up.
When was I hard on them?
Hello, Wan.
Goodness, Aunt.
You're so annoying.
Shall I be honest?
Should I surprise you by being brutally honest?
I missed you. When did you get back from the Philippines?
A month ago. You're always so pretty.
Hee Ja's husband passed away in his closet, and no one knows why.
When she got back home from his funeral,
Hee Ja heard something that she shouldn't have.
How could you say that?
When did I say I wished Mother would die first?
You said it just a moment ago.
You said Mother should have passed away before Father!
You also said...
that Mother should have died before Father did!
You shouldn't say such a thing.
Mother can't do anything herself since she's spoiled.
Goodness! Come on!
Have you lost your mind?
I'll take care of Mum.
I won't let you take care of her!
- What did you say? - How dare you?
That night, the sons quarrelled about taking care of their mum.
However, Hee Ja could only remember this.
You said it just a moment ago.
You said Mother should have passed away before Father!
What does that mean?
Does that mean I should die or live?
A month later, she went to the Philippines...
where her youngest son lives.
She didn't want to stay home. As she could help with housekeeping...
at her youngest son's, she thought she could be of help.
I'll do it, Ma'am.
You don't have to help me, but thank you.
Where is my son?
He's tall and young.
He's out.
He didn't even say bye.
I'm sorry, Ma'am.
No, no, don't go out.
It's very hot outside. I'm sorry, Ma'am.
It's okay!
It's very hot. You'll die. It's so hot.
- It's very hot. - I won't die.
No, sorry, Ma'am.
Don't go.
I'm sorry, Ma'am. Please don't tell your son.
Why is she always so sorry?
I feel like I'm in prison.
However, Hee Ja thought her friendly gestures towards the maids...
only threatened their jobs.
She felt very guilty of making them feel bad.
If she couldn't be helpful to her son's family or the maids,
she thought she wasn't needed there. Therefore, she made a decision.
My son and daughter-in-law, I'm going back to Seoul.
Don't worry about me. I can live alone.
Be happy. I'll be happy, too.
I can do it myself.
I can do it myself, Sir.
Ma'am, we're leaving now. Please have a seat.
My legs are strong enough to stay standing. I want to stand.
I can stay standing.
Have a seat.
Ma'am! You can't ride the bus standing on the freeway. Sit down!
Ma'am, please answer your phone.
Hello, Min Ho.
Mum, how could you leave without saying a thing?
Everyone is panicking right now!
Where are you? I'm going to the airport.
Mum!
Where are you?
I'm on the bus home.
Which home? My home?
Your home?
You're not trying to make it harder for me, are you?
We didn't clean up the place after Dad died. Why are you going there?
Are you going to play ghosts?
Just tell me where you are. I'll come and get you.
What will you do there all by yourself?
You can't do anything!
What do you mean I can't do anything?
What's wrong with my going to my own house?
I can do it by myself!
I can live alone, too.
That's 35 dollars.
And it's 14 dollars for you.
Eat slowly.
Hey, close the store.
I put up the sign already.
Already?
Business is good. We're out of ingredients.
I used to go get groceries when we ran out,
but I decided to take it easy now.
You should chew well.
I thought I was going to die from starvation.
Glasses, glasses.
- I see. - He comes every day.
I think he plays the guitar.
He looks like a widower, right?
Do you like him?
Well, he's good looking.
What about money?
Just look at him. He looks poor.
He's my eye candy.
What are you doing?
Gosh, what is this?
- Hee Ja, are you back? - Yes.
Goodness.
Drink it slowly.
Hey.
How long do you have to scrub yourself?
Come here. Jeong A just came.
It's so cool.
Don't do it. It's a waste of money.
What will you do if I do it?
I bought this with my money.
If you're old, you should have a tea party instead.
But you're drinking in broad daylight.
Do you want to party for real? Should I bring it?
- Let's party! - Don't! Don't!
- Why are you acting like a thug? - Do it over there.
All right. Where is Mum?
Don't. If you do it, I'll kill you.
Why do you always want to kill me?
Hey! Hey!
- Hey! - That hurts! That stings!
Mum, do you still think that you're stronger than I am?
I am letting you hit me.
- Let go. - No!
- You little... - Ouch!
- Hey. - Aunt.
- Stop. - Mum...
That's enough.
She's a step-mother for sure.
You're wearing the coat I bought you.
I am.
Did you collect leftover food from your kids' place again?
Just throw it out.
Hey, don't kick that.
Hey, aren't you going to drive?
- Come on. - Wow.
Wan, you have huge breasts.
Jeong A...
You're all grown up.
- It's so plump. - Grown up?
More like she's ageing.
Ageing? She's still got it.
- Mum, come over here. - It's going to be trouble.
No, don't do it!
- Stop it! - Here, come on!
There's nothing to grab on your mum.
- She's flat as an iron. - Stop it!
That's ticklish!
Come on!
Hey!
Stop it, stop it.
The only luxury I've seen Jeong A enjoy...
is her old trench coat from Hee Ja...
and the dark beer her idol Jeon Hye Rin used to drink,
which is bought by someone else every time.
Hello.
That looks fresh.
Sir, can you give me three dollars worth of those cockles?
Oh, no.
Gosh.
It's okay. I'm so sorry. Sorry.
There are two down here.
Yes, Se Young.
I'm at the grocery store.
Why would I go to a street market? It's too much work.
Of course, I'm at the grocery store.
Is it too loud?
I'm walking on the streets.
Lunch?
Of course I ate. Don't you know what time it is?
Are you crazy? Why would I go to a grocery store?
What's 10 dollars there is 1 dollar here.
How many can I get for a dollar?
Covers up to my knees
Is he not coming?
Or is he unable to come?
- Mum. - My love
Why aren't you here?
Mum!
Yes.
My heart melts
Yes, I'm here. What is it? Do you want food?
You're too loud. Keep it down.
Why don't you get up so I can see your face?
You were sleeping all of last week, so I hardly got to see you.
I want to sleep.
Do you have a sleeping curse or something?
All right, you can sleep.
My heart melt and melt
Mum.
Mum, what are you doing?
I'm turning it off!
Goodness.
You're so sensitive.
Why are you always sick?
I have to go visit your sister,
but I can't even clean in peace.
Jeong A's first daughter married a professor.
Her second daughter is divorced.
And her third daughter runs a daycare.
She has three daughters.
She visits all of them 3 to 4 times a week...
and works for 10 dollars an hour.
Why would I give him kimchi?
I didn't.
Mum, Ddol Lae...
had diarrhoea for four days because of the kimchi you gave him.
Don't give it to him. Promise?
- Okay? - Chang Min fell from his desk.
I have to go.
You're the boss. You wretch.
He didn't get sick from the kimchi.
He got sick from the baby food.
Your mum doesn't know anything, does she?
Your mum is stupid, right?
Yes, Hee Ja.
Mum?
Mum, do you know who I am?
I'm Jeong A's friend. The one who came back from the Philippines.
My mum passed away. You're Jeong A's mum.
She's working, so she couldn't be here.
This is Jeong A.
She gained weight. She's chubby.
Mum, you look good.
Good enough to get married right now.
Your mum keeps trying to open her mouth.
I think she wants to hear you sing. Sing for her.
Sing?
The rain is falling quietly
At the place of sad farewell, Busan Station
The money she earns by visiting the three places...
amount to 300 dollars a week.
All of it goes straight into the nursing home for her mother.
But Jeong A never complains and is always in high spirits.
That's because of a dreamy promise her husband, Seok Gyun, made...
that will make all of this hard work worthwhile.
Starting with Rome, they will travel all around the world...
until they reach back to Sicily.
You just wait, Sicily. I'll be there soon.
Why are you always wasting electricity when I'm away?
You had all the lights on while watching TV.
You're home early.
Come on.
What's with the cucumber?
It was going bad. I didn't want to throw it out.
Then why did you make it go bad after paying money for it?
You really need to get your head back on your neck.
And why do you always burn the rice?
Because I'm old.
When did I ever burn the rice when I was young?
You always waste so much.
Where are those jeans from?
It's a present from Soo Young. Should I throw it out?
Why did you make so many side dishes?
I had money to burn away, so I made three kinds.
Eat it tomorrow.
Why is he always nagging.
You can eat by yourself, right?
Sit down.
There's a television programme on Sicily right now.
I'll watch the re-run.
Honey,
when will you retire so that we can go on the world tour?
When you quit your factory managing job 10 years ago...
and even when you quit your factory security two years ago,
we didn't go.
When you quit your security guard job at the apartment,
we'll go for sure. Right?
Do you want me to answer you?
You must know I've been patient with you.
We've taken care of your parents until they wore diapers.
We raised and fed your eight siblings,
and helped them get married.
Don't laugh.
How much do you have anyway?
A million? 500,000 dollars?
Don't you have a lot of money...
from the factory's severance pay and money earned from various jobs?
I have 6,000 dollars left from paying for Mum's nursing home.
Do you have one million dollars?
Tell me. I won't ask for it.
Do you have 1 million? 900,000 dollars?
- 800,000 dollars? - Stop it.
Are you coming to the alumni reunion with Bong Hee and Jang Mi?
Will you be driving?
Of course, I will.
What's the use of graduating from a university...
when you can't even drive?
I finish my driving practise this week.
Let's do a road trip around the world.
We can take turns driving.
- We might die. - No, we won't.
Mum and Hee Ja believe Seok Gyun keeps his words.
As such, they believe they'll travel around the world.
However, will stingy Seok Gyun agree to travel?
Hello.
Me? I'm cleaning the room before dinner.
I have some radish pickles and fish.
After dinner?
I have to wash the dishes and watch TV.
I'll exercise, too.
I'll look for volunteer work at church.
I'll keep myself busy.
I'm not sick.
I'm fine by myself.
Okay, goodnight.
Okay.
Why are they so worried about me unnecessarily...
and blame me for being tired?
He's my son, but he's so strange.
Goodness!
He always smiles at me three times a day while working out.
What a crazy man.
He's looking down on me because...
an old woman like me is living alone.
Text Wan and thank her for taking us to our reunion.
Send her hearts as well.
Sweet dreams.
(Thank you for taking us to the reunion.)
It's Brad.
He's so handsome.
Thank you for taking us to the reunion.
What is it?
My blood pressure is rising.
What did you do, Mum?
When did I say I'll take you and your friends to the reunion?
When did I say it?
I told you many times about my deadline.
Writing for a magazine is also important.
Hey, it's my treat.
I'll treat you to everything today.
Don't accept their money.
Leave your bags and go in first.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Mum.
- See you. - Mum.
Hey, stop calling me.
Did you go clubbing again?
Hang up since you already know.
- Everything's good? - Yes.
The guys aren't that handsome today.
Hey, look behind you.
(Wan)
Would you like to dance?
- You should dance. - Her?
What?
Pardon me, please come this way.
Ma'am, come this way.
Why are you calling me when I'm seeing you tomorrow?
Did you go dancing again? I can hear the music in the background.
Be brief about why you called.
You're so annoying.
Don't be late tomorrow.
Don't leave me alone with old mules who are unemployed.
Are you laughing?
I call them old mules because they aren't young.
Goodness. How I talk is none of your business.
Talk to you later.
Take this.
Aunt, drink good and expensive ones by yourself.
They're always here.
How far did you get in the conversation?
Did you already start talking about Queen Seondeok during Shilla?
Ma'am, we didn't order this.
She knows wine very well.
Isn't this good wine?
Open that one first.
What would I learn? There's nothing to learn from them.
All they do is fight when they meet.
They talk about others behind their backs.
They get upset, cry and make a fuss.
Age doesn't guarantee being matured.
There's a difference between being mature and being old.
Do you behave rudely in front of the elderly?
I stop myself.
Fix the camera so that I can see your face.
I don't want to.
Why not?
So that...
you will miss me even more.
If you don't show me...
your face at the count of three,
I'm hanging up.
One.
Two.
Three.
Dong Jin.
What?
Why wasn't I invited to the party to celebrate finishing a book?
- Yes. - Wow.
Goodness, what are you doing?
They might party all night because they're so excited.
I don't want to go.
Us two is fine, but I don't want to hang out in a group.
Why aren't you answering me?
Hey.
Please hang up our video call.
You hang up.
I'm your avatar.
I don't have a choice.
Then wait until I'm done with the phone call.
I don't like hearing you talk with other men.
Hang up now.
What should I do?
Don't come.
- I won. - Isn't it my turn?
- Yes. - You're back.
Thank you, Wan.
This won't change my mind. I'm sorry.
There's no way I'm going.
Yeong Won?
You're coming back to Korea? When?
For good?
Is that true?
When are you coming?
Hey, wait a minute.
She's being too much.
- Body of Christ. - Amen.
I told you to wait outside.
If you weren't older than me, I would have...
Why are you here? You're supposed to be at the reunion.
I should at least say hello.
You already had your communion. Let's go.
I have to make a confession first.
Just don't sin to begin with. I never had to confess in my life.
Are you a refugee?
Come on, let's go.
- I'm new to this. - Really?
All right, and then... Reverse.
Wow.
You're doing well.
(Student driver)
Thank you, Sir.
Jeong A, over here.
Wan!
Don't run. Don't run.
Okay. I got it.
- Did you pass? - Yes.
You...
- Where did it go? - What's wrong with this bag?
- Hold on. - Why isn't she picking up?
I saw it earlier.
- What are you looking for? - Hold on a minute.
Here, have some of this.
Wan, here.
Goodness, I'm sorry.
I found it.
Wan, isn't this song great?
Yes, it's great.
Here you go.
Goodness, I dropped them.
I have another one here.
How nice.
The breeze is nice.
Mum. You can't come alone.
I'll pick you up on the way.
I'll be there within 30 minutes.
Why are you looking for In Bong? You're on the phone with me.
Mum. Mum. Mum?
Hey, In Bong.
Don't go to the fields, but go to the hills.
- You need your exercise. - Yes, I'm going to the hills.
You're going to the fields?
No, I'm going to the hills!
Look at how rude he is! He's going to the fields again.
Go to the hills!
Mum, talk with me.
I'll be there in 30 minutes.
So stay at home.
- What is she saying? - Don't leave without...
Make sure to eat and don't sleep too much.
And don't call me too much either.
If you understood, nod your head.
Good.
Goodness.
You have stuff on your face.
I wonder who died this year.
That old lady. She's so stubborn.
Oh, my!
What a jerk. Hey!
That dog. What a piece of...
Do you want to die?
Watch your mouth. Why are you swearing so much?
Mum, why do you talk on the phone for so long?
Grandma has bad ears, so she can't hear you anyway.
If she wants to go on her own, just say "Okay."
Did you really have to make it so hectic for me to drive?
Will you take responsibility if I get into an accident?
Turn it off.
Gosh.
Get back in the car, Wan.
That's enough. Don't take this too far.
Sorry, guys.
But that jerk drove like a madman...
I saw him, too. What a punk.
He's a scumbag.
Calm down and just get back in.
Jeong A, I have a stomachache.
Really? Is it bad?
Hee Ja, just hold it. We're 10 minutes away from a rest station.
Get out, get out.
Get out where? Aunt, you can hold it, right?
My goodness, let's get out.
Where are you going? We're out in the open.
- Can't you hold it? - You'll understand when you're old.
You can't control it even if you want to.
- Mum. - Hee Ja.
- Mum! - Hee Ja, Hee Ja.
Hee Ja! Don't go that way.
There are snakes there. Go under the tree instead.
Go under the tree. Good.
How convenient.
That must feel refreshing.
- That was close. - I know.
Come on.
Nan Hee, Nan Hee, here.
What? Don't, you stink.
No, I don't. Here, it's pretty.
- It's not pretty. - Stay still. Let me put it on you.
- Gosh, you smell. - Goodness.
I look like a crazy woman.
This one's better.
It's pretty.
You smell like poop.
Let's go.
What's wrong with this?
What's wrong? Did the battery go out?
I told you to check on the battery!
This is your car, not mine.
This is my car. Darn it.
Sorry, guys. We can't go to the reunion today.
If I call my insurance company to get help, it'll be late evening.
- Oh, no. - What are we going to do?
Pull over.
It's pulled over.
I mean pull over a passing car.
Gosh...
She's scary when she's mad.
That's why she's still not married.
She can complain all she wants. I'm still her mum.
Let's just go.
They pulled over.
Okay.
What is it?
What do you think? Didn't you see that?
He stopped right away when I did this.
You're too funny.
She's hilarious.
I know.
Do you feel better now?
Now, we'll get to Choong Nam's safe and sound.
The flower looks nice.
This is fun. You look like "Madame Butterfly".
Hello.
How have you been?
Yes.
It's been so long.
- Yes. - Goodness.
- I know. - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
What?
Mum.
Mum. Mum.
Mum, can't you say hello?
Mum.
Hey.
Why are you not greeting the elders?
Hello.
- Did you get married yet? - No.
- I hear you're a writer. - Yes.
Did you write a novel?
- No. - Then what are you doing?
Did you graduate from university?
- Yes. - Your mum paid for it, right?
- I worked and got a scholarship... - So...
are you saying you didn't get a penny from your mum?
No.
You don't know how hard your mother works to earn money.
- Seok Gyun. - Stop it.
Why do you always drag her here?
She wasn't dragged here.
She wanted to come here.
She wanted to interview some people at the reunion...
for her book.
Seok Gyun, come inside.
She dares to drive without knowing a thing.
You should know your place.
I dislike most of the elders,
but I especially detest Seok Gyun.
Wow.
Seriously, that...
Gosh.
Okay, okay.
- Here you go. - Please bring more coke.
Okay.
- Seok Gyun, come here. - Hey! Get away!
Goodness.
Soo Young, Jong Sik.
Could you take the basket?
Gosh.
- Where's the alcohol? - Coming!
I'm coming.
Do you know who the writer is?
I've heard of his name.
Among the politicians,
I know one person who isn't sneaky.
During the Korean War, he was our ally and as great as...
- MacArthur... - Stop talking about that.
Let's hear about your trip around the world.
Why would I waste money on travelling around the world?
Jeong A bragged that you two will travel around the world.
She's out of her mind.
She spends all the money that I've earned.
That stingy old man.
Wan, sit over there and have a bite.
Would it be better...
for me to work or join them over there?
Keep working.
Thinking about you
This is great!
I want to
Be with
Bring more alcohol and food.
Hey, hey.
Let me talk to you.
Stand up. Have a seat here.
Okay.
- Do you know me? - Yes.
I heard you're a writer.
- Yes. - You should write about me.
I married the wrong person at first.
I thought he was never married,
but he had been married three times.
He had two sisters who weren't married.
He had two younger brothers who weren't married.
He had a child who got divorced.
I had to take care of 10 people including my own family.
My husband worked as a tailor.
However, there were over 20 tailors in the neighbourhood.
I had to work so hard to help him...
- Hey! - Hey!
Who are you to interrupt my story?
Gosh.
My in-laws...
loved pigs' heads.
They liked to eat those dirty pigs' heads.
Once, the pigs' eye balls were popping out.
Another time, the tongues were sticking out.
A lot of pepper powder was stuck in the pig's teeth.
Hey, hey.
Have you ever had a pig's nose?
No, I haven't yet.
Gi Sa, do you have to talk about dirty things like pigs' heads?
She was raised in Seoul, so it disgusts her.
- You're drunk. - So what?
Why didn't you come to my husband's funeral?
Was it because I'm poor?
Here you go again. I was too busy then.
My inferiority complex?
I don't have inferiority complex.
- What are you talking about? - Stop it.
- Can't I give you a lecture... - I don't have inferiority complex.
because I only graduated from middle school?
I was the class president at my elementary school.
Do you know why I couldn't go to high school?
My father wanted to start a business,
- so he spent all the money... - Stop it.
Don't give a speech at a reunion.
How dare you interrupt me?
- Stop it. - Gosh.
Goodness, it's okay.
Seok Gyun still has his complex.
He doesn't talk to me because I graduated from college.
After living with him,
I feel very guilty of having a high school diploma.
I just feel bad for him.
That's how you can persevere.
Why isn't So Ja and Han Sik here?
If they are not here, they're dead.
Do you think we'll come back next time?
I'm coming back.
Aren't you coming back?
Is Yeong Won coming?
Gosh. My mum is hilarious.
You should tell her to come here.
Of course, I did.
She doesn't want men to look at me.
She told me not to come near her.
Then why is she staring at a man?
I asked her why.
- What did she say? - What did she say?
She doesn't want to look at women.
It's because they were always around my father.
No wonder she avoided my eyes, too.
She especially hates you.
The last woman my father dated looked exactly like you.
If I had went to a university like you,
I would have gotten into law school three times.
Gosh.
Why are you staring at the men?
I wonder what they're talking about.
What are they saying?
It's all nonsense.
They should all be punished.
They insult their mothers and treat their wives badly.
Do you want some delicious apples?
Cucumbers?
Apples.
That's right, cucumbers.
You've lost your hearing.
All right, I'll bring some cucumbers.
Yes, give me an apple.
Apple?
Gosh, hello.
Wan, I'll take care of that table.
Okay.
Are you her niece?
Are you really her niece?
Enjoy.
How can they be professors or artists?
You'd be dead if I were her niece.
She must have heard us talk badly about Choong Nam.
It doesn't matter even if she tells her.
If she doesn't invite us again, we won't have to come.
Still.
At least she bought your photo every once in a while.
She only bought three pieces of my pottery.
But she gives us free alcohol.
She's such a rich and ignorant woman.
- Wan. - Yes?
Isn't this great?
Its price is 10,000 dollars,
but Professor Park gave it to me for 7,000 dollars.
Choong Nam.
Did you buy the pottery from those men?
Of course.
How can anyone buy something made by...
starving artists and intellectuals for free?
If you have money, get a new sofa and TV instead.
They're no intellectuals.
Don't hang out with them.
Just hang out with my mum, Hee Ja and Jeong A.
I don't want to hang out with old mules.
Aren't you one yourself?
I'm not an old mule. I'm not married.
Goodness.
When is Yeong Won coming? I came here to see her.
How do you know that she's coming?
She called to invite me here since she's coming.
How do you know?
I heard it was a surprise.
I'm her best friend.
Hello, everyone.
Yeong Won must be here.
Wow.
Hello.
I've seen you.
Hey, hey.
Who is this?
My boyfriend.
Boyfriend?
He's so handsome.
Why did she come here?
She makes me lose my appetite.
Gosh.
She must still dislike Yeong Won.
What can she do? She's also one of the alumni.
It's been about 30 years.
- She hasn't changed at all. - Stand up.
- Hello. - Have a seat.
Where have you been?
- Yeong Won. - Hello, Jeong A.
Yeong Won is so cool. Don't you agree?
You should say hello to Ssang Boon first.
Ssang Boon.
Did you receive the herbs I sent you from the US?
Did you also receive my letter?
Yes.
I've missed your scent.
Does she not know?
I guess not. She wouldn't be so happy to see her if she knew.
My gosh, look.
It's not the same young man she brought last time.
You must be really popular.
She has a new boyfriend?
- Bye. - Don't die and let's meet up again.
What are you talking about?
- Good job. - Take care.
- See you. - Bye.
I'm glad you're here.
I nursed my husband for 10 years when...
he suffered from cerebral infarction.
But how could he just die...
from falling into a stream after getting drunk?
How could he just go like that?
Hey, don't lie down here.
We're out.
Okay, I'll go get some.
Jeong A, go with her.
Leave Jeong A alone.
Why would I make someone else go when my wife is here?
Go along.
Seok Gyun, Jeong A's getting old, too.
Be quiet.
I decided to live like a dog...
until we go on the world tour. It's okay.
I'll be back.
Gosh. I'm going, too.
Seok Gyun, if you don't take her on that trip,
I won't let you off that easy.
How dare you...
Come on, you can't scare me off.
I'm not Jeong A.
You'll get a heart attack. Stop frowning.
You really are bold for a woman.
Hey.
Get up now.
Your legs are showing.
If we're out of soju, let's go.
Let's go home.
I won't go until Yeong Won leaves.
What should we do?
I have no plans on leaving yet.
Won, you know what my mum is like, right?
You really have thick skin.
How dare you smile in front of me?
Get lost before I come back.
Mum.
Bring back a lot of alcohol, okay?
You and I can drink all night.
You should understand her.
Yes, you should.
We'll be back.
I've done a lot of bad things.
Just let your mum be.
- Goodness. - We'll be back.
Nice bottoms.
I'll be back.
You drive me crazy.
Why are you so mean to her?
Shut your mouth.
I didn't say anything before because I know that you don't like her.
Wan, I think it'll be best if you continue not to say anything.
Don't do it.
Leave her alone.
I have to.
I don't know what Yeong Won did to make you so upset,
but she came over every year when I was abroad and gave me...
allowance and counselling.
She was more like a mum than you.
She treated me so well.
When I hurt my arm...
- It's hot. - Me, too.
You didn't come see me.
But she did.
I'm sure she's really good to Grandma, too.
I can't be sure, but I think it's thanks to...
Yeong Won's herbs that Grandma is so healthy.
Mum, just tell me why.
What's wrong?
I heard you two were like two peas in a pod.
So what could possibly split the two of you apart?
She only calls me and not you.
What happened? I must know.
Mum, I'll go buy some alcohol.
But let's leave after delivering them.
I understand that you don't like Yeong Won,
so we should just go. Okay?
Let's do what Wan says.
Let's just go home.
Isn't that Yeong Won's boyfriend?
Didn't he leave saying that he had work to do?
Let's go.
Isn't that Yeong Won's boyfriend?
I hate things like this.
That's disgusting. They kissed, right?
It was a deep one.
- Mum. - What are you doing?
Don't try to stop me.
Yeong Won will get a piece of me today.
I have low blood sugar.
Wan, drive.
Mum, give me your phone.
Stop it.
Taxi!
Look at her.
Mum.
Nan Hee, stop.
My goodness.
Why am I the loner?
Why are you making me a loner?
Why do I have to take the stupid bus...
while you all drove here together?
Are you looking down on me because my husband died?
You were always driven by Jang Sook and Ho Sik.
Don't you know Jang Sook had a stroke?
And Ho Sik died years ago.
All the men I know died.
When did all of them die? What about me? Am I a corpse?
I'm so sick of this.
- Gosh. - Are you laughing at me?
Why would I do that?
I crawl at your feet. Don't you know?
I called you from the States last month, too.
I'm dying soon.
Don't cry after it's too late and be nice to me now.
Don't worry.
I'm sure you'll outlive all of us.
Seok Gyun, take her home.
I can't go until Jeong A's back.
Do you like her that much?
Then why are you so mean to her?
Are you a pervert? Do you enjoy bullying people you like?
How dare you yap at me, you spinster.
I only have one reason why I didn't get married.
I didn't want to live with someone like you.
Don't live like that.
You'll end up marrying someone like us in your next life.
Gosh, I am not going to deal with you two.
Goodness.
Seok Gyun's joints must be worn out.
Too bad his temper didn't worn out with it.
He's still cute.
Mum. Phone.
You're so cool.
You have to pop this flower.
Move. Yeong Won, come here.
Okay, Mum. I'll be there in a moment.
Hey.
I realised I still have some decency left towards you.
Cut to the chase.
You knew my husband was cheating on me with your friend Sook Hee,
but you never told me and just watched. But I couldn't do that.
Here, this is my decency.
What is this?
You should have dated someone better.
You've dated a married man, a younger man...
and now a playboy?
That's enough.
Sorry.
Jeong A, should we go?
I'm too tired. Let's go in a bit.
Call him later.
Work? His work must be at a motel, right?
Hey, congratulations.
You made up with your wife.
How do I know?
I heard from my friend who's always loyal.
You should go back to Seoul with your wife.
She came all the way outside the city to beg.
Okay. Have a good night. Sleep well.
You misunderstood.
He's not my lover. He's just a boyfriend.
Let's go, Mum. I'll take you home.
Have a drink and make yourself feel better.
Feel better about what?
You aren't even human.
I told you there's something going on between her and my husband.
Do you remember what you said?
You said they're absolutely not having an affair.
You knew everything. If you hadn't lied,
I wouldn't have seen...
the two sleeping together in my own bedroom!
I trusted you. How could you betray me like that?
Mum, let's go.
Where are you going? You should have a fight.
Whether you die here...
or make up, you should get to the bottom of this.
You spent a few decades fighting over this.
Hey, it's Sook Hee.
You little...
Are you still in touch with that mistress Sook Hee?
You told me you two were no longer friends.
Are you a habitual liar? Why you!
Mum!
Let me go!
- Stop it! - Let me go
Stop it!
- Mum, Mum. - Stop it.
Mum, Mum.
Let me go.
Mum.
- Stop it! - Mum.
- Mum, what are you doing? - No.
- Stop it. - Stop them!
Goodness!
- Gosh! - Stop it!
Grandmother!
Stop it!
Yeong Won!
Grandmother!
Goodness!
Stop it.
Goodness.
(Dear My Friends)
He looks at me every day...
at 8am, 3pm and 6pm sharp.
I'll have a word with him.
- Come on. - Come?
- It's okay, come on in. - Come in?
Don't come to the reunion.
You shouldn't come.
What a wench.
She's obsessive and possessive.
Pardon me.
Are you a musician?
Who was he?
Is he the director of your publishing company?
Why did you break up with Yeon Ha?
Did something happen?
What is it?
I miss you.
