Family Matters
'Although I'm a liar... I'm a diligent man.'
Some famous Italian film director said so. I like that.
Claimed to be a diligent man he said...
he liked the feeling of looking closely into his life while idling around.
I also like that feeling.
But today even that's not gonna be easy.
Father, father!
It's left foot, ok? How many times do I have to tell you?
Look.
Song Min-kyung, my wife.
She once was a promising dancer and now a very good dance instructor.
But she's known as a monster
who always screams at the kids at school.
Yes!
What are you doing? Try again.
And this kid my only son, Byung-guk.
Raised among the girls at dance school
he used to be confused about his gender.
But this kid is my worshiper and my protege.
How can your father be a movie director when he has no movies of his own?
Come on... so you're saying just because
a vendor hasn't sold a single watermelon that he isn't a vendor?
Dad, what was the name of that awesome movie you made?
- 'The Lord of the Rings' - How about 'Harry Potter'?
I told you I asked other director passed it on
to do it to another guy because I was busy.
- Ah, that's right. - What are you doing here huh?
Go out and look for him!
- I've been looking... - Did you check the park?
- I told you I lost him there. - Then you should report to the police!
I already did. Come on.
Don't worry. They will call in the evening.
So you're just gonna wait?
What if something bad happens to my father?
Why are you yelling? Geez, I' will go.
Why did you do that? Say sorry to her, you should apologize.
I was gonna go anyway.
- Uncle, I'm going too. - No, you're staying put.
Why do you keep calling him uncle!
It's... fun... that way, you know...
Why are you hounding him down?
She must think I'm her student...
Why doesn't she just treat me like her son?
Hello?
Yes, yeah, yeah. Ok.
I'm so sorry... every time...
That's ok. I will see you again, anyway.
Thank you for your trouble.
Ok, keep up the good work.
Asshole, should've called earlier... what time is it now?
Those young men... they are very sincere seem to work very hard.
Father? Please don't go off on your own.
You're killing me.
It's late. Hurry up, son.
That's not the right way. This way.
Dementia is incurable.
Since he's lived a wonderful life maybe it's good that
he's living in an illusion now.
The problem is, I'm the only one who can take care of him in this family.
How about father?
He's sleeping.
Man, I'm gonna go nuts.
I love you, Mom.
Mom loves Byung-guk too.
But you're now too heavy to give you a piggyback.
I bought a birthday gift for mother in Myongryun-dong.
What is it?
It's health food supposed to be good for bones. What do you think?
What kind is it?
Some herbal remedy.
I didn't want to buy chlorella because my brother already bought it.
Your brother in Hongje-dong?
No, that's my fourth sister in Hongje-dong.
The third brother lives in Myonmok-dong.
Right.
Who cares. That's good enough.
Man... driving me crazy.
- Hey Min-kyung. - Ok.
Did you see a file set of A4 papers next to the computer desk?
A4 papers?
Shit... where is it? Damn...
Your script? I have it...
Why did you take it without telling me?
Why, can I not can't I even read it?
It's not done yet.
Shit... why do you have to do that?
How was it?
Why comment on something not finished?
Did you read it?
Only read half.
Was it boring?
Well...
I don't understand
why all the women in the story like the male character.
I don't like him.
Why don't you like him?
Dunno. I just don't like him...
You gotta give me a reason. Anybody can say that.
Geez... you smell like cigarette. Go away!
C'mon...
Aren't you going to quit smoking?
I already quit. Seriously, I'm going to have the last one and really quit.
- You always say that. - I'm serious.
To celebrate quitting, let's do it, huh? You want?
I even had to go to the police station today.
I worked all day to support your sorry ass, too.
Hey, you don't have to work tomorrow.
Let's do it and sleep till lunch.
- You like me that much? - Yes, of course.
Then why do you always say 'let's do it' but not say you love me?
- Do I have to say that? - Yeah
Of course I love you. I will show you.
Ok let's do it. But let's do it sometime this week.
Promise! I have an extra class and have to visit a friend in hospital tomorrow.
Which friend?
Soo-hee, my high school friend...
Hey, Min-kyung! You gonna sleep?
Hey, Min-kyung...
Didn't women dislike you because you were a playboy?
Of course not.
Back then... it was no etiquette if Casanovas like us couldn't dance.
It's a big no-no to make women feel abandoned.
Then... did you learn to dance from a missionary in Manchuria up north?
No, in Harbin, not in Manchuria. You know Harbin?
That's where martyr Ahn Jung-geun killed Ito Hirobumi
Hello!
Yes, director Kim Sang-hoon? Hold on one sec, please.
Director Kim.
Hey, Su-jeong, long time.
You know, scenario work is all the same. Just wait a bit.
What? Director Jang is starting shooting?
Ah... that's good. Huh?
You gonna work with him?
Hold on a second.
I'm fine. Do what you gotta do.
Hello? What?
No no... What are you talking about?
It'll be good for you to work on a good film.
Why would I be upset?
I'll come visit the scene.
Ok, ok, Good luck.
You home?
Having a kid make coffee? What's wrong with you?
Byung-guk loves making me coffee.
What are you doing?
I'm cutting papers into movie screen size.
1.85 by 1.
You not writing your script?
You think I'm writing a novel?
Visual is the most important thing in movies.
So you have to cut the papers? You're so cheap.
Stupid.
You need the film mind set
for scenarios from beginning till the end.
The mind set of 1.85 by 1.
Do you know how important that is in movies?
- Of course not... - Dad, coffee.
Oh, thank you, son. Be careful...
Wow, you're good dad! You're the best.
Sure, he studied for 7 years. He'd better be good at it.
What the...
Father, if you wanna go for a walk go with Byung-guk at least.
You should never go out alone.
Of course, I should...
but I can't leave the house empty.
Why not?
There are thieves out there eyeing on this house.
What's there to steal in this place...
That's not true. Thieves got different eyes from ours.
Mom, I'm so busy too. Everything is so hectic.
Why are you busy?
Look at this.
During this whole week, I can hang out with Hyung-ju only for 3 hours today,
with Sung-tae, only tomorrow.
Do you know how difficult it is to live by this schedule?
That's very good. You should also go to a cramming school.
You want me to take extra lessons when I'm this busy?
You shouldn't do that to your husband.
What do you mean?
You should respect and encourage the man do his things.
Why are you always on his side?
You were so against him when we got married.
- What! What is it? - There, mom!
Come here, kitty!
Come here, cat! Kitty!
This, this... how dare this evil thing!
Oh father, it's okay. It's just a kitten.
Lots of plants in the garden but just a few flowers have bloomed.
Do you have a lot of step-siblings?
What?
There's a flood. A massive one...
You got water all over the place. You must feel cold and lonely all the time.
Let's see what your husband's got.
Worthless.
Say what?
How can you live such a difficult life?
You've been married long, right?
About 10 years...
10 years... you must have suffered a lot.
Jobless, vagabond, women problems...
There's no such thing.
Why are you here if you know so well?
His innocent looks will attract a load of girls. Get that?
He's better off with a younger woman.
You're too much of an adult and caring that he'll be spoiled.
Then what should I do?
I can't say anything since you have
a child and live together.
If you were my daughter I would've said to think it over.
You do whatever you wanna do anyway
No one can't stop you from what you do either...
It's usually 50,000 won to see compatibility your marital harmony,
but for you, just 30,000 won. Your life is sad enough
By the way, what do you mean by worthless?
Even light wind will blow everything away.
He won't achieve anything although he tries.
Completely nothing till the end.
Why, you don't believe me?
Are you sure? You really have to do this well.
'How to be a movie director'...
I can finish this over night if I wanted to.
Hold on.
Coffee is over there. Help yourself.
Hello? Yeah, how are you?
I emailed it to you last time.
Yes, please check.
Hey, when you were studying about the time you were abroad...
It will be good if you include details about your experiences, something biographical
- Hey, by the way, what's up with the title? - What about it?
'Dream comes true', '101 series' 'How to become a babysitter',
'How to be a shopping host' So lame...
Yeah? It's not there? It should be.
Have you checked the ones I sent you last week?
Yes, yes, sorry but could you check again?
Yeah.
Umm... do you want some too?
I just had one.
Why don't you make up a title then. Something really catchy.
You dumbass, that's copywriter's job. I write the story.
Right?
See, right? That's ok.
Sorry for the trouble.
Yo, do you work here with her alone?
You so low.
What, fucker, did I say anything?
I will also do 'how to become a dancer'
- Cheers. - Cheers.
I can also write 'how to become a pubic servant'.
Let me be join in. Why, you mind?
You quit again, didn't you?
You're so immature, you throw away every opportunity that comes your way.
You can publish a book with all your resignations.
Why don't you do that? 'How to write resignatior.
Hey, give me.
When is he gonna grow up and stop talking nonsense?
You, you should get married.
I'm not going to, you asshole. Crazy? Why get married?
You envious of Sang-hoon, aren't you?
But do you know how difficult and lonely it is to be a film director?
It looks fancy, doesn't it?
But it's so damn hard, you know? It's an art, art.
Art... nah... it's not...
Drinking is an art, art
- Let's have a drink. - Okay.
Let's have a drink, one drink come on!
When are you going to be a director?
Has it been 7 years or 10 years since he said he was gonna direct a film?
All the respects for to you wife.
She cooks for you every morning makes money to support your.
She's an angel! Definitely an angel.
Did you just say angel? You don't know shit.
There's a story in Russia...
A man with big ambition shouts,
'I want to fly.' 'I want to touch the sun! '
Then his wife says,
'Ok, calm down and just finish eating the onions.'
Why don't you become an actor instead of a director?
Is that funny? It's sad, man...
Eat the onions, stupid ass...
- I don't like onions. - Eat, asshole, eat, eat now.
Oh, things are looking up tonight! Good, good! Cheers, cheers!
Isn't it overwhelming that Sang-hoors paying for the drinks?
Yeah, it feels great! To director Kim Sang-hoon!
Cheers!
Hey, Song Min-kyung!
I'm late.
Gotta call 911, your eyes are on fire.
Hey, Song Min-kyung, Song Min-kyung,
Pikaboo, Song Min-kyung.
Ok, wash up and sleep.
I received some work to do.
What kind of work?
A movie production company company wants to work with you?
No, it's different. That's not it.
I'm gonna write a book.
You don't even read a book.
Who do you think I am.
I can just unfold things in my head and boom! There's a book, you know.
What kind of book is it?
The how-to-do sort. 'How to become a film director'.
Min-kyung, Min-kyung.
Just give me a year.
Seriously, for the last time...
You don't trust me? Huh?
How about you? Do you think you can do it?
Yeah.
Fine. I will wait for one more year.
7 years, 8 years what difference does it make?
And what else can I do now but to trust you? Right, Sang-hoon?
Thank you, Min-kyung.
Just hang in there. I can do it.
In that sense, should we do it?
You always say 'give me a year' 'let's do it.'
Should we wash up? I will go shower first.
Ok.
Oh, my baby.
I'm out. Go on.
Aiya, stupid...
Oh my god.
Min-kyung, Min-kyung,
Song Min-kyung.
Min-kyung, hey, Min-kyung!
Hey, Min-kyung!
You, bastard! You sick bastard!
- Father, it's me. - Shut your mouth...
Father, it's me your son-in-law.
Huh?
What are doing here naked?
Ouch!
Hello.
What? I'm not sleeping. I was working.
Why?
Again?
Am I a driver for your school?
Seven, eight...
Ok.
Let's do the center pose.
One, two, three, four...
five, six, seven, eight.
Left, right, point and turn! Turn, Ji-yeoun
Straight, straight, Ji-yeoun! Straighten up.
Where are you looking? Turn, turn again.
You're only gonna do this all day until you get it right.
Ji-yeoun, smile. Smile, now start.
Smile!
Not only with your mouth. Why are you so glum?
Ji-yeoun, smile.
She's suffocating her.
Oh, hello?
Look who's here the prettiest teacher around
I'm flattered.
It's gonna take some time for her to finish,
because the competition is just around the corner.
Patience is a virtue.
Go on, let's master this today.
The competition is just two days away from now.
Let's do this straight. You can't go home.
Smile, ok? Smile. Look straight.
Look at me. Go, smile!
Ji-yeoun, smile!
I can't do it.
- Good job. - Good bye.
- Bye. - Good bye.
Bye, be careful.
Well done today, be careful.
The principal must be happy to have you by her side.
Yeah, well I don't think But in fact, she realizes that.
That's always the case.
- I've read your script. - Really? How did it get to you?
At the office. I love reading.
- It was fun. - Ah, really.
Which part did you think was funny?
Umm...
I think the male character was cute... Um...
I really have respect for writers.
Seriously, I can't imagine how they can write such stories.
I have more respect for dancers.
I like talented people more than good-Iooking people.
Is that right?
What the heck...
I will also get off here as well since the subway station is nearby.
You must be tired. I will drive you home.
Oh really? No, it's too far.
It's not a good manners to make a beautiful lady go home alone at night.
It's really ok... I feel bad...
- Aren't you gonna get off? - No, good bye.
- Hello. - Hello, I brought some water.
I'm sorry but could you go get the fabric softener in the car?
In the car? Should've told me earlier.
Ji-Yeoun, you did really good.
You've put in the most effort principal.
Thank you.
- Are you a good drinker? - No, I'm not good.
I really can't understand
I'm somewhat established in fact, pretty too.
I also have moderate personality
and I'm all ready for...
For what?
Ready for marriage.
I even have savings for an apartment.
Guys must be scared of women like me.
No way.
We all know you're pretty. So stop it.
Let's go now.
Hey, it's getting more fun here.
And we gotta eat everything, it's such a waste. Who else is going to eat it?
That's ok.
You're gonna go home with the principal anyway!
Sir, could you go to Ilsan?
- Where about in Ilsan? - Bamgashi town.
Yes, get in.
Hold on one sec.
Hong, teacher. Let go, of my arm...
Your hand... let go...
Your legs...
let go, let go... Here, your bag.
Geez...
It's all because you asked me to come out and help.
Like it's the first time ever to see you like this.
How come you always lose your mind around women?
Hey, what are you talking about? What did I do wrong, huh?
You sure you're not out of your mind?
Do you think I'm right now? Do I look ok?
Do you know what it's like to live with you?
I'm sick and tired of it!
If you're fed up, end it!
What the fuck.
Song Min-kyung!
Hey hey, that bitch...
You think I have nowhere to go?
It's a long and tough road to be a film director.
It has been so up to now and it will be so in the future.
If there's any difference,
It's that my wife no longer tries to understand.
She now harasses with things that she would've passed through.
And big and small fights have continued.
What now?
You haven't paid this bill yet!
There was no more money for that. You forgot to give me the money.
Why are you blaming me when you also forgot about it?
Can't you remind me if I'm too busy and forget stuff like that?
Look, we even have to pay fine now.
Alright, alright. I will not forget to pay the bills now.
Just give me the money on time.
How can you pester me like that for such little fine?
Isn't 1,000-2,000 won money?
The school seems doing fine but we're losing students and I'm worried.
We're paying extra because of the fine.
Dig up the ground and see if you can find even one penny!
Stop it!
I will go out and make money.
Did I tell you to make money? Did I?
This has happened more than once!
You should take care of stuff like this since you are home!
Why don't you tell me to quit movie? You have to say like that?
Think about it! Who do you think is suffering the most?
Father, where are you going?
Thank you for your hospitality.
It's late now, I'm gonna go home.
Father?
Father, this is your home.
You live with us.
Really? Still it's too late, I will go.
Dad? You wanna go out again?
Father, come this way, this way.
Please, this way, father.
And we couldn't even get to fight to see an end.
I couldn't waste my passion like this.
But although I knocked on every production company, no one recognized me.
I was definitely losing my strength.
Bang, bang, bang.
How can you live with so many enemies around you?
I live in disguise. Bang, bang, bang.
Quiet. Come over and help me.
My finger's gonna break.
Here.
I'm gonna become a cool movie maker like you.
This is yours too. Here, here.
You gotta carry things like this if you wanna become a movie director.
Go.
You gotta hold it tight. You're making it worse.
Give it.
OH MY GOD!
What happened, father?
I took care of the monster.
You mean the cat?
It won't be coming to this house any more. So don't worry.
What's going on?
Wow... I feel great.
Why did you do that? You scared Byung-guk's mom.
Do you think I'm gonna give you my daughter for being nice?
Don't even think about it.
Don't bear any grudge against our family and be reborn to a better world.
I can't stand this anymore. It's too hard.
I worry something bad may happen to Byung-guk.
He's getting worse. What should we do?
Should we take him to a nursing home or a clinic?
Let's not rush into anything.
We gotta think carefully before making any decision.
I think I should bring this up tomorrow in Myongryun-dong.
How's father doing? You're going through too much trouble.
Well, I wanted to talk to you guys about father.
No one forced you.
Father only loves the youngest daughter. What can we do?
That's right, he especially loved you the most.
By the way, does he still go out to ballroom dance?
That's nonsense.
A little workout and socializing should be good for him.
What if he brings another woman home? Will you take care of her?
Oh my... Please...
Did anyone say he goes to dance? What's wrong with you guys?
I won't be able to stand that.
Don't you know what our mother had to go through?
I hate the very thought of it.
Sang-hoon? Does father still go ballroom dancing?
No, he can't even go anywhere alone.
He's an elder in church.
What would people say if he went to dance clubs?
Enjoy the meal. I'm gonna get some rest.
Mother, are you going to sleep?
How's mother in Euijongbu? I heard she was quite ill.
She's fine, thanks.
By the way, did you know mother of our aunt in Nonsan passed away?
Why do you talk about that family?
They're not related to us.
I thought you should at least know...
What are you trying to say?
I always knew you were senseless but...
Min-kyung, you too listen carefully.
If you want to be treated as a family member,
you better cut them off completely.
The perky bastard.
Damn...
Hello!
Are you looking for me?
What's up father? You need anything?
I'm sorry to intrude you busy people.
Who arranged today's meeting and did all the work?
This is big brother's house, father. Of course his wife did everything.
Who? Who?
Big brother and his wife. They're right here, you see?
Thanks for the trouble sir.
She must be your wife.
The food was great.
Thanks for your hospitality. Let's go, son. After you.
