Her admirer young widower

Dr. Choi

Hey!

Stop looking at other people's windows!

Hyun- ok's father Mr. Kim

A grumpy old doctor of Oriental medicine

Sweetheart! Put down the screen!

His strict wife, Mrs. Kim

And his son Hyun- gu

The tall one is Mr. Park

A fortuneteller and self- called Indian philosopher

Realtor Mr. Roe

who always hangs around this clinic

That guy, Dr. Choi

Young people calls it love

That's disgusting! Don't say that

Radio shop owner Mr. Seol

His hot- tempered wife Ms. Koo

Tavern owner Jum- rae's mom

Here you go Jum- rae! Come on!

What is taking you so long?

Jum- rae is her only child

This is better than being sick Let's go

Come on!

This is Mrs. Park

the rival of Jum- rae's mom

Dr. Kim is very good at pulse diagnosis

For internal disease

Oriental medicine is better

Don't you get it?

- Make thinner slices - Excuse me

- It's thin enough - Oh, come on in

What a surprise? What brings you here?

Please see my daughter

- Let's go in - Take a good care of her

- Yeah - Come in

Come on in

- Please don't - Sweetheart, come up here

- Take a seat, please - Take a seat

- Do you want me to examine her? - Yes

She just doesn't eat and feels sick all the time

It's nothing

- Lost appetite and is sick? - Yes

Let me see

The other hand

Uh, oh? It's strange

- Take off your shirt - Sorry?

I have to examine your chest

- Why? - You go outside

She's not comfortable with you around

- Go outside - Yes

Then I'll wait outside

- Take it off - No

- Take it off - Please don't

- Take it off. I should see your nipples - Sorry?

Don't be shy

- I'm like your grandfather - Go ahead

- Take off your skirt too - Sorry?

- I have to feel your stomach - No!

Now I know

What do you know?

She's not sick She is pregnant

What? Pregnant?

- You think she's pregnant? - It's been a few months

Oh, my God!

She's not even married!

I have to kill her

Hey! Don't be ridiculous

How do you know?

I can't believe it!

It's obvious!

No menstruation no appetite, feeling sick

Stop hurting innocent girl!

How do you know

just feeling her pulse!

- She is virgin - I'm sure

My girl is a real virgin

- It's a nonsense! - Hey!

- What on earth is she doing! - Hey!

- What about the fee? - Come on

She's your neighbor

Bring some drinks instead

Don't say like that

It's a terrible thing to her

Stop it

He's not a good doctor anyway

He hurts the innocent girl

How could he say that?

That's because he looks down on me

I don't wanna live

Stop it

He even doesn't deserve to be blamed

Don't be so hard on yourself I was worried about you

So I'm here

You are the only one who cares about me

Now calm down And later you'd better

take her to Dr. Choi

You old liar!

What are you doing here?

You promised not to come here!

Listen honey!

It's not what you think

You have no business with this house at all!

Honey

- What? - It's not that you think

It's not? I think what I see

I hate you!

Go to hell!

How improper it is!

- What? Improper? - Stop it!

- Ouch! Stop it! - Shame on you!

Oh, what is she doing?

What are you doing in my house? What terrible thing are you doing?

Get out of here!

Are you crazy?

Honey!

You seduced my husband

You flirt with him

Anyhow

it's her husband

Who are you meddling in other peoples' affairs?

- Let's go - I'm going

- Let's go - I'm going

I think they will get into a big fight

I'll leave after I tear off her lips!

- Get out of here! - Stop that!

What on earth is this! It's really stressful!

Oh, my God What a bad luck

- They might need some acupuncture - What acupuncture?

Anybody home?

Oh, How are you?

- Take a seat - No thanks

Can you pay me back now?

I'm sorry

I'll pay you the day after tomorrow

When is the day after tomorrow?

You always say that

I'm sure this time

Don't worry

Shame on you!

I know, I'm so sorry

- You're helpless - Goodbye

I've come too many times

Keep this in mind

Don't you ever flirt with him again!

Isn't the doctor a widower?

So what?

If he is a good person then it should be OK

What? With that bastard?

Do you want her to live as a widow for the rest of her life?

But he's my enemy!

He's not your enemy

Why not?

Since he is here,

people don't come to my clinic anymore

He is the one who ruined my life!

Please stop I didn't say I'll marry him

- Right - Please!

Anyway where is Hyun- gu?

It's dinner time!

He's upset because he can't get a job

What's wrong with him?

He even got a college degree and he can't find a job!

You need money to get a job!

Don't be cheap with your kids!

I paid for his college!

What more can I do for him?

You always talk about money

and tell me I'm stingy

I'm doing everything for my family

So

when you were well off

you spend a fortune on your mistresses

Hyun- gu is the problem all the time

I'm going out

Hey, Hyun- ok What do you think

about Dr. Choi?

You are a widow too

He's well off and educated

He's a decent man

Mr. Park is trying to match you two

Just leave me alone

Dr.Cho's Obstetrics and Gynecology

You're 4 months pregnant and stable now

Avoid intense workout

Don't forget monthly check up

I see

What did the doctor say?

I'm already 4 months pregnant What should I do?

If mom finds it out she'll kill me

I don't know what to do

- I'll live on my own - No way

We can't move in together now I don't even have a job

- What if you just get abortion? - What?

We can have another baby after we get married

It's not funny

I'll figure out something Go home See you

Bye

Where have you been?

Isn't that Mr. Kim's son?

- Were you... - Please don't

Well...

Her cheeks look strange Her eyes and mouth look good

From a good family

Not bad looking

She's too good for us But I'm not sure what Hyun- gu will say

Is she too good for us?

What's wrong with our family? My great great grandfather

Don't

Oh, What's so respectable about your ancestor?

- That doesn't do any good today - You know nothing

- Is that you, Hyun- gu? - Yes

Come here

- Have a seat - Yes

What's going on your job searching?

I applied to many places but no luck

You really don't know anything

You need money for everything!

How much?

At least 200,000 won

What? 200,000 won?

Let me see

If you can get 50,000 won every month... 4X5 is 20

You can pay me back in 4 months!

It' not too expensive

- I'll give you that money - Oh, please do so

You shouldn't do that

- What did you say? - Don't worry

- Your father will help you - Anyway, listen

I have something to show you Take a look

How do you like that girl? Good family, wealthy...

Good looking...

I think she's a good match for you

What do you think?

Let's arrange a marriage

Marriage is very important in our life

Let's do that, alright? It will be good for your future

- OK - OK?

- Then I will make the arrangement - Why hurry?

I don't even have a job

What?

Hey! Not this one either?

Do you have someone in your mind?

- Please, mom - Hyun- gu!

I knew it!

That terrible old man He was wrong!

I'll put him to shame It will be the first thing tomorrow

- Please don't do that! - No

He did it

because he looks down on me

Stop it, mom

Anyway

Look at this

What do you think? Look carefully

Who is he?

He owns a soy sauce factory They say he is bright

- Let's arrange a marriage right now - I'm not getting married

You have no choice

You can't miss this man! Just listen to me

I don't want to hear rumors about you too

- Honey? - Mom, please don't do this

Phew

Wait a second

- Hyun- ok! - Oh!

- What are all these? - Chemicals

Take on my car please

- I'm on my way home, too - It's OK, Go ahead

Are you afraid of your father?

Don't worry Come on!

Your father is something

I'm sorry for everything

No

He's somewhat childish

and on the other hand somewhat like a dictator

Anyway, he's pretty interesting

He's stubborn but is kindhearted

Still, I'm uncomfortable

He treats me like an enemy

- He thinks you're invading his turf - Invading?

- You're fine Don't worry too much - I see

Boil this with 3 jujubes

- and drink before eating and boil again - Yes

Here Thank you

Hey Kim, Kim!

What? Why?

Are you sure Jum- rae is pregnant?

Certainly, I'm sure

You are sure you didn't make a mistake?

Hey you! What do you think I am?

Because Jum- rae went to see a doctor of Western medicine

- Tsk! - Doctors of Western medicine?

- What do they know? - Don't be so sure

- Let's see - What did you say?

What do you mean?

- Nobody knows! - Excuse me!

Hey! Let's go to the police station

- Why? - Why?

- Did you say that my daughter is pregnant? - Say that again!

I'm sure

You still say that?

- You liar! - What are you doing?

- What's your problem? - Stop it

What a nonsense!

He said my decent daughter

is pregnant But I doubted it

- so I sent her to Dr. Choi - Oh did you!

He said she was not!

You made my daughter can't marry

Why did you say that?

- It was your mistake! - What if my daughter can't get married?

- You should get her married - Calm down, Let's go

- Calm down - Please get up

You terrible man How could you?

You are despicable and crazy!

That asshole, Choi!

What does he know about medicine?

- Bastard! - Calm down

You son of a bitch, come out!

- What are you doing? - What are you?

You don't know anything A doctor?

So what? I'm better than you!

- Please, stop - Tsk!

Go home!

- How are you, sir? - Hi

I met your daughter to bring heavy thing on my way home

Hey!

You wanna make a bet? Cut her stomach and see

Is Jum- rae pregnant or not?

What are you talking about?

Didn't you say that Jum- rae was not pregnant?

No

I don't know what you're talking about

Didn't you examine Jum- rae?

- No - Really?

- She didn't go there - I didn't examine her

- What? - There's a misunderstanding

- This is Park's trick - That Park!

It must be him Don't beat him

Talk to him!

Check!

- Check mate! - Check!

Wait Please back your move

- It's already done! Check! - Please give me one more chance

- You lose - Just admit that you lose

One more game, then Please...

- You're way below - Son of a bitch

It's hot It's so hot

What do you expect in summer?

Why's nobody coming?

It's not because of the weather It's all about luck

It's not! It's because of that guy, Choi

He invaded my turf of 30 years

He must be killing babies!

Those girls who went in there get abortion

- It's obvious - Have you seen it?

I just know It's obvious

- I'm sure that's what he does - Yeah

I'll send him to jail today

If I catch him on sight he can't get away with it

Watch what I will do

Can I help you?

Can I talk to the doctor?

- Is he doing an operation? - Just finished

Oh no

Doctor, Mr. Kim and a police officer are here

- Yes, tell them come in - Yes

- Come on in - Yes

You stay here, sir

I'll see him getting arrested

- Nurse - Yes

Is that the tool he kill the babies?

- You'd better get a new job - Why?

Choi is going to jail today

- Jail? - You'll see

Hey! Well...

Hyun- ok!

Father! What are you doing there?

- There was something I had to do - What is it?

You don't have to know Let down the screen

- Choi is looking this way - That's OK

What? You don't care that he's looking at you?

Wait

That's what happened

- I'm so sorry - Oh, Mr. Kim

I'm honored to have you here

He made me come here

If you falsely accuse him again you'll be in trouble

I'm so sorry

- Good bye - Bye

What? Me in trouble?

- Take a seat, please - No!

What was your trick?

What do you mean?

You don't understand? Are you a doctor?

How did you get away? It's not that

The patient was too sick

to have a baby

According to the law a fetus can be aborted if

giving birth is hazardous to the

mother's health

I know that!

For a man like that he has a nice daughter

I wonder why her husband divorced her

She's not divorced She's a war widow

A navy captain or something

- I'm really angry - How did it go?

- Did you see it? - What?

- I asked the officer not to arrest him - Oh!

On a second thought I felt sorry about his future

Oh, yeah?

Tsk!

I don't like that law

It's too immoral

That law is deceitful, too

- Hey, Park - What?

- That thing, the law - Yeah

- Who makes it? - You don't know that?

- The police makes the law - Shut up!

- Lawmakers make it in the National Assembly - Right!

To be a assemblyman

- Then they can change the law too? - Of course if it's a right

- Why don't you become a lawmaker? - Shut up!

Are you teasing me?

Let me ride in your official car

Or try to be a city council member instead

You know I can do that if I want to

If I have it my way

I'll send anyone immoral to jail

Alright

By Jung Da- san's book

I will modify all immoral laws in this country

Do you think can make anybody a politician?

Everyone is born with a fate

That's why you couldn't become a doctor of Western medicine

What?

You know nothing

You always say everything is a matter of luck

How about a man who knows nothing about medicine but practices it?

You never have been to India!

But you always talk about

- Indian philosophy, fate, luck... - Well, maybe I'll go to India now!

Go ahead, then

- What? - What the hell

- Hyun- ok - Hi, mom

Do my hair first even if you're busy

Why?

I'm meeting the girl's family with Hyun- gu

- Did he say yes? - Surely he did

He's actually excited He shaved

- put on new clothes... - He did?

- Take a seat - Yes

- I'm sorry - Stop it

Why are you crying? What's wrong?

Tell me what's going on

What's wrong? Tell me

- Mother - Yes

What should I do?

Do what? Tell me

- Mother - Yes

- I saw the doctor the other day - So?

- She says I'm 4 months pregnant - What?

What? Who's the father?

- Mr. Kim's son... - Mr. Kim's son?

You mean Hyun- gu?

Yes, but he is meeting a prospective bride today

To get married? What about you?

How he can do that? Oh, my...

- Get in the car - Yes

Go to Jangchungdang please

Oh, no!

Let me see the other hand That's good

Good fortune awaits you

I'm sure you'll become a lawmaker

National lawmaker? City council member, maybe

That's good too Sure

You are an educated, decent person...

Just joking

How's the thing going, anyway?

The girl's mom almost said yes

But you know

the father Mr. Kim

So... So just do it

Do what?

You don't understand?

You know...

Then he'll kill you if you don't marry his daughter

Please stop joking

Just put in a good word for me

I'll give you a very big present

OK

- How was the girl? - I am speechless

A fan, please Her father owns a big company

You never imagine Their house is huge

And in the room

there was a icy cold thing...

- What did you call that? - An air conditioner?

Did you see the girl? or just the house?

She looked like a man

There is nobody who does not have a flaw

- I made up my mind - What did Hyun- gu say?

- He didn't say anything - That's his 'yes'

He's never forthright He is always same

- But he's believable - Like me

No, like me

Give me the money

I have to go

Hey

- How did you like the girl? - She was nice

Can we arrange a marriage with her?

I need to get a job first I've gotta go

No need to meet You shouldn't have to pay to get a job

After you get engaged

You can probably work for her dad's company

You're already thinking like that?

I hate it I'd rather not get married

- What? - He's right

That will happen Though not now

He has his pride

Give him the money

I don't understand

- It's like wasting money - Forget it, then

Wait a minute... Give him the money

OK, OK I will Get my cashbox

Oh, you...

He has the audacity to do....

Are you getting married for me or what?

Here

Mr. Kim!

- Are you in? - Who is it?

Mrs. Kim, is Mr. Kim in?

How can you do this to us?

Where is Hyun- gu?

What did he do?

Do you want to know? Where's Mr. Kim?

- Why are you so upset? - Here you are

Mr. Kim, you were genius with your diagnosis

My daughter Jum- rae is 4 months pregnant

See? I should've bet with Dr. Choi

I said I could bet

with cutting her stomach

You son ruined my daughter!

What?

He is the father of the baby!

You've all gone to see a prospective bride for Hyun- gu?

How could you do that?

Even though I'm selling liquor

you can't look down on me like that

How could you!

A person is equal

I'm a parent too! Same as you

She's my precious girl

I also did everything for her!

We didn't know that

Now we understand please go home

He ruined her life like this

Now he's dumping her

I can not believe this

This doesn't help

Let's talk about ways to solve this problem

Come on Pick up yourself

Oh, my goodness

You scoundrel! Stand up!

How could you disgrace

your father by sleeping around

- with a tavern owner's daughter? - Honey, stop

Why is that such a big deal?

What can be a bigger deal?

I can just marry her and have the kids, and be happy

With her? a tavern owner's daughter?

- No way! - What's wrong with her?

She is a nice person And we love each other

- Oh! - I'm an oriental doctor's son

Is that such a big deal?

What? Is love everything?

- Honey, stop it - Let go

How could you?

I paid even for your college and this is what I get?

I can not believe this You need money to get a job?

Forget it Get out of my sight!

Jum- rae! Jum- rae! Where are you going?

What happened?

We promised to keep it a secret

Don't touch me Go get married with that girl!

You fool I just played along You idiot

That was a trick

Father promised to give me money If I went

We can marry later but I need money

to get a room We need money for the baby too

Now it's all in vain

By the way

you don't trust me?

I was a fool I didn't know that

It's OK

I made up my mind

Let's make it on our own

Slow today?

- It's slow time of the day - Yeah...

This is a good time to see you then

- You are not busy today? - Yes

I'm always free to see you

Hyun- ok!

It's women's place

- What is this man doing here? - How are you, sir?

He brought this, father

- What? - Excuse me

- Ouch!! - Oh!

- My leg... - Did you get hurt?

No, I'm OK

- See you later - Yes

Oh, my leg...

- What's up? - Father, please it was too much

You don't know anything

He's my enemy!

Send back the flowerpot now! Send back!

What is that?

From Dr. Choi's Obstetrics and Gynecology? When did you get it?

- It was a present for my shop opening - Shop opening?

You've been flirting with him since opening then?

That son of a bitch!

Father, it's just a mirror

A fine mirror, actually I don't like that name

Excuse me It's me

How are you? I'm here as your patient

- What? Patient? - Yes

- Come in - Yes, sir

I fell down the stairs Western medicine isn't working

So?

I heard a lot of good things about your acupuncture

So I want to have your acupuncture

Medicine is merciful Let me see...

It's swollen

- Bronze needle will do - What?

Why don't you sterilize it?

No way!

Our ancestors lived long without using

sterilized needles Stay still!

What's going on?

Stay still! You are an adult

Imagine the patients you operated on

It's your turn to feel the pain

You deserve it Don't move!

Damn, Noise!

I can't read because of that noise

Can you go and turn off the thing?

What are you reading?

How many times have you read the paper?

Go away

- Mr. Kim - Yes?

- Is Mr. Park here? - No, why?

I'm here for fortunetelling

Can't you do something about that music first?

He will turn it off

We turn it on while we fight

Fight? I didn't know that

- I don't want anybody to find out - That makes sense

He must be cheating on me

All mean are the same when it comes of women

I am angry I fed him your ginseng

- for his stamina! - Our ginseng?

I paid cash to your son

- To Hyun- gu? - Yeah

Wait

He put bellflower roots

Instead of ginseng!

Oh, my... look! I can't believe this!

Look at this

He is the only one who sold ginsengs and put bellflower roots instead

Oh, my goodness

Be careful

Don't lift heavy things

Who wanted an abortion? Now you're afraid?

I can't go back home now

It's you and me just two of us for life

- So? - Your health is the first priority

You bet He's my only hope

- He's an air force captain now - Good

You're better off than me

I have nothing Only a little hut

You have no place to live

How about moving into my house?

She's just a cousin

Go in It's nothing

He ignored me I can't forgive him

You made the right decision to run for the city council

- What did I say? - Well...

I knew it

You're born to be a big- time official

It's ridiculous that

Dr. Choi is in the race! Nobody knows him!

- It's a nonsense - I agree

- Why don't you run for office? - Me?

Yes, that's a good idea

We forgot what a perfect person you are for an office

Frankly speaking

people in this neighborhood owes you something

- For all the things you've done for them - That's true

- Go for it! - At least a pack of drug

That's right

So if you run you can be anything

I can make at least 12 people vote for you

I'm not qualified enough

Yes, you are

- Sure - And your family's

been living here for generations

You're influential

- Everybody knows you - That's right. Sure

Soonhain and Yuhain It means

who's the great king? who am I?

It is the execution that counts

Anyone can become a member of a royal family

Who's Choi Doo- yeol? Who's Kim Hak- gyu?

And if I can... Right

Heaven will help those help themselves

Honey, I've got an idea

Would you like to become

a wife of a city council member?

What?

You wanna be the wife of a city council member?

You want me to marry again?

No, It will happen

If I become a city council member...

How can you become a city council member?

It's not easy I know

Hey... It's not easy

but Dr. Choi is running for it

I'm a native here

I know everybody in the neighborhood And I helped people

See if there is anyone who hasn't taken my medicine

That is true

That's why everybody says

I should go for it Ask everybody

- So? - Ask anybody

You don't know What you are talking about

Are you getting senile?

If you say no

I won't go for it

But honey... What I really want to do is

doing something good for you You deserve more than this!

It breaks my heart It's all for you

- Doesn't it cost a fortune? - A little...

If I get elected I'll make a lot of money

- Then go for it - What?

Give it a try I'll get the money somehow

Really?

Your father wants to run for city council

What?

- City council? - Yes

What do you think?

- Are you against it? - Yes, I am

Why?

You know why

It'll ruin our family Don't even think about it

Ruin our family?

Everybody wants me run for it

You are strange...

I already made up my mind

Well, I've gotta do something

Hyun- ok Don't discourage your father

- You shouldn't do that - Oh

I'd like you to be my manager

I see

- You can do PR, too - Yes

- Help me carefully - Yes

You know when things go my way... You Know

Dear fellow citizens... Dear fellow citizens...

We're from the campaign office of Mr. Kim Hak- gyu

Who is running for city council

He has been a true patriot for all of his life

He's our real representative He's our real representative

Dear fellow citizens

Mr. Kim's life has been all about justice and conscience

Sincere and noble patriot... He is your true friend...

Choose number 3 on the ballot... Number 3

Our representative should be our good neighbor, yes

You sold your beauty salon for campaign funds?

You won't need any screen for the windows

Don't worry, go

Go help your parents He needs your help

It'll ruin our family

Go ahead

- Don't you need any medicine? - Don't worry

I'm fine

Take care

I will visit him

I wonder what the politics and city council?

Why must some people feel

their worth form politics?

I don't understand what men are thinking You and my father

I canceled my candidacy

Sorry?

I wanted to give it a try because it's been my old dream

But there is more to life than politics

You are much more precious to me

No

Don't do that just for me

I can't race against my future father- in- law

Hyun- ok

There's nothing in the world that can replace you

I'm not well off like the old days

I sold my shop

I know

Tell mother that I want some

- medicine for my wife - Yes

- Hyun- gu's here - Hyun- gu?

- Oh - He is worried about you

Good thing you came

Apologize to your father and help him

You came back to help me?

Yes

I'm sure that I'll win

Election is just a few days away

Election is somewhat like gambling

The final phase is most critical

- So do your best till the end - Right

I'm losing my voice my making just one speech

- Mother - Yes

- Hyun- gu's wife is very sick - Really?

Tell father to prepare

- some medicine - I see

Hyun- gu, have dinner!

Give me that

Aren't you happy that he's back in this situation?

- There is only son who can rely on - He should've come sooner

So prescribe some medicine for his wife

Why?

- She's almost due - Who? Jum- rae?

Yes, she's very sick

What are you talking about?

So he's not here to help me

but to get the medicine!

- Please don't do this - It all makes sense, now

- That bastard! - Honey!

I'm not gonna make any medicine for him!

Why do you come back? You bad son

- Don't do that - Hey, Her mother

- Her mother held me by the collar - I never give the medicine

Hyun- gu!

Hyun- gu!

Father

Please think about it again

What?

Do you know what's happening to our family?

We spent everything

even Hyun- gu's wedding fund! We spent all

Is the city council a market place

where you make money?

- What? - Hyun- ok

Watch out what you are saying

How can you pay back

everything just by getting elected

That's not all

Your only son left you

You ignore your daughter- in- law You don't give a pack of drug

Who's expecting a baby! You're hurting them!

And me

Your stubbornness and jealousy is making us miserable

Take care of our family before politics!

How...How could you?

You think I'm running

- because I'm jealous of Choi? - Aren't you?

Go away! Go help him!

Do it!

Honey, please calm down

Dr. Choi canceled his candidacy

- What? He did? - Everything's fine now

Oh, what a surprise!

Did you really

- cancel your candidacy? - Yes

After careful consideration I'm not qualified yet

And I felt it's not right

to run against you

You shouldn't have even started

Why give up now?

You are not a man

I'm sorry about everything

I'll help you from now on

Give up?

You don't need to I don't want your help

I can't believe this!

Choi is out now You'll win!

Don't say that

Even though being the president

not being the city council member I'm not happy today

Why? What's wrong?

What's the meaning of life?

Should I go for it against the wish of my kids?

I have just two of them

How could you talk like that?

You'll be elected in just a couple of days!

Do you think I'll win?

Trust me

Good evening
