I'm a romantic Papa

Since I am believed to be in senility only at 52,

my kids call me this nickname, romantic Papa

Why is it senility to have romance of life?

He is lying that he is not in senility

Well, he is 52 years old but

says I'm old only at 45

As you see, do I look old? I'm still attractive

But our kids are old enough to be mischievous,

see

I'm Eum-jeon.

Graduated from college helping house works

By the way, my dad is so strange

He looked at me vacantly some ago, saying

"There's no one to love you more than I do,

so you'd better not get married."

So he said

But, I've got a boyfriend to engage

I'm Jeon Woo-taek, who will become an eldest son-in-law in this family

Whether Papa is in senility

I can't live without Eum-jeon, what should I do?

I'm Ue-jin.

It's a lie I'm a senior in college

I'm trained to be a director in a film company without my parents' knowing

I also have a girlfriend, who is an actress

I'm Mary, looking forward to becoming

an eldest daughter-in-law of Romantic Papa

I don't care if Papa is in senility.

Love for a daughter-in-law comes from a father-in-law

I'm a second daughter, Gob-dan, a sophomore majoring in English

In my class, there's no one without a car or a piano

But, my family has no money

Dad tells me to have spiritual life, but

the spiritual life means pathetic and incapable one in the end

I've got much dissatisfaction

I'm a younger son, Baruen, I've got dissatisfaction too

Dad tells me to be careful since I'm in snobbish age,

but what should I be careful about?

I'm a person with my own right

But, all the house chores come to me

I can't stand it

Ah, I'm the youngest daughter, Ebbun(pretty)

As you see, I'm pretty

They named me Ebbun, thinking people don't know I'm pretty

I don't have any dissatisfaction

My parents love me most because I'm the youngest,

don't you Dad?

Of course,

oh I forgot, my favorite guy at work, Mr. Lee

I'm Lee, who's got most trusted by the romantic papa in the office

And, this is a thief who breaks into my house

I'm the thief he just introduced to you

no, I'm Joo Sun-tae, nice to see you

A Romantic Papa

Dad, come with me

Producer Director Shin Sang-ok

Go, hurry

- Ebbun - Yes

- Come with me - Hurry to come out

Wear this? Ah, wear that.

Will you come home late, sis?

Well, I'll see

You'll see him at lunch and to see a movie?

You

Sis, we're late, hurry

I'm done

Ah, told you to hurry, I' m taking off then

What a crab

What a guy

Are you ready?

Ebbun, help me with this visor, huh?

I don't know

- Help me with it - Have a beret without a visor

- I'm leaving, leaving - Bareun

Bring them here, I'll get it

You're the best

Am I missing anything? Ah, my flowers

Oh, you've got a good memory

Hey, when is the due date for your tuition?

I've still got time

Here they are

Dong-bang Life Insurance - Central Branch

Grandpa, you came early

Grandpa, please give me the flowers, I'll put them in

Hey, why do you always call me grandpa. Call me uncle, here they are

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky Home, Tis summer the people are gay

Good morning

Early you came

Morning

Scene 67, cut 6

- I wanted to see you Sang-gi - Mary

I really didn't know how hard love is

It's time for you to know it

Careful here,

get your head out quickly and keep down your chest

- Gob-dan - yeah

- You should come tomorrow - I'll see

Why you say "I'll see"?

I should have clothes

What about your clothes?

For climbing,

you should have denim pants, a Burberry jacket and an alpine cap

Do you climb for meeting a man?

- You're home - Yes

Dad, you're home

Yes, here you come

What are you walking like that for?

- I'm catching a butterfly. - A butterfly?

I've worn the old shoes from Ue-jin for a year

since I caught a butterfly

A boy catches a butterfly for not wasting the shoes?

Get up, let's go to order your shoes

- Really? - Sure

- Coming home now? - Where are you going, dad?

To order his shoes

His shoes? What about mine?

You bought them the other day

Though new, they're small, you come here.

Why are those new shoes small?

That's strange, you try them on.

- Stop it - Why?

You're justjealous because I go to buy new shoes

You try to give them to me to buy new ones

Then, do you want me to throw them away?

Who care? Take them into your closet with packed

and you marry, have a son and let him wear them at 23

I hate to wear your remnants from now

Dad, I'm 19 and have my own personality as a grown-up

My self-esteem doesn't allow me

to live as a remnant for long

Mom, dad has raised me without a penny by now

What?

He raised me as a remnant of Ue-jin. Look at these

These shoes, clothes, this hat, this bag and everything

Boy, it's your destiny, what can you do with your fate?

You were the next in the belly I was in first

You drank mother's milk after I did

You were the next in mom's breast I was in first

You're my younger brother, which means you're my remnant

Mom, what do you think of his words, huh?

Your brother is older brother, he's the eldest

Please don't you treat him too nice as the eldest

What?

Any older brother is not better than an younger one

No matter what, an older brother would be better. How could a younger be better?

You don't know yet

According to the world statistics,

a younger brother is proved to be better than an older

Are you sure a younger is better than an older brother?

Sure, any great contributors for world cultural development are younger ones

Don't lie

If you're true, prove it

Prove it with evidences?

Yes

Then, name anyone you respect

He must be a younger brother

General Lee Sun-shin is an older bro

Nope, he's a younger one

He had two older brothers, Hee-shin and Yo-shin

who were not better than General Lee

Then, what about King Se-jong?

He is a third son in his family

How about Mr. Lee Toi-gye?

He is the youngest of 5 brothers

Mr. Yul-gok?

He is also a third son.

Ha... you are prompt

I'm the younger one, so smart enough

So, is there anyone who is an older brother?

An older one is never be famous

You're lucky that I just named younger brothers

There're many older ones

Nope, never

Why not? Socrates?

Now you try westerners? Huh, he's a younger one too

Where did you see that?

You're lack of research

When Socrates got killed by poison,

it's his older brother who ran away afraid of being harmed

- Really? - Sure

Well, there is, there is

in the Bible

Not at all. There's none

- Why not? How about Adam? - What?

No one can deny it

You're in a hard situation now, bringing Adam to this

but he is a younger one too

What? Who wrote Adam is a younger brother in the Bible?

Adam is the only son of god, isn't it?

No, he isn't

When God created a human, he made the first one with mud,

but he didn't like it,

so made it again which became Adam

So, when having babies,

people have one for an experiment

the complete one is coming later

Are you insulting me now?

Hey, bro, I just proved the historical truth

Mother always treats you specially as the eldest

You're saying that I'm your remnant

So, I just make clear my position

When did I insult you?

I don't think so

You're not a remnant of your brother and

also not my remnant at all

You're who you are

Yes

Yes, but

you said that I raised you as a remnant of your brother

I don't think so indeed

I don't think you two are others

but I believe you're one body

Ue-jin, you wear your shoes from now on

Your shoes are just for your feet

Your feet hurt or cripple

which is not Baruen's business

- And Baruen? - Yes?

You don't have any duty to be forced to receive any surplus

from your brother

I said I'd order your shoes today, didn't I?

Follow me

Your dream comes true

Come out

- Ue-jin, give me your shoes - Why?

Give them to me anyways

I don't impose my stuffs to you anymore

Ue-jin, I like old shoes after all

I can't play well in new shoes

Quickly give them to me

- Well, no - Come

Honey,

Something happened

What?

Looking at those two boys,

I should probably order shoes for both of them

What're you talking about? Leave them alone

Before that, you should order yours first

Me? I'm fine

Ah, these... how could

what a torn

You've got a talent

You think these shoes were bought by you?

Have you ever bought me rubber shoes by today?

Have you ever?

Say yes, if you have

Then what have you been wearing so far?

Barefoot, because I'm an african indian, what?

Well, you shouldn't response that. I can buy them for you now.

Fine, I'm begging for recognition?

A problem is our children

Honey, I'll get you shoes above all

Wait, let me see your size,

- a span and a knuckle? - Hey, get out of my way

It fits exactly

Let me wear the other

What are you, old man doing here in kitchen?

Your temper gets fussier as getting older

Shame on you, what're you doing?

A span and a knuckle

Wait

Seeing Mom and Dad

I don't think they will buy new ones

Give it back to me

What? You said you'd give them to me

Who'd give them to you?

Would I give them barefoot? Give it back to me quickly

You give the other to me

You won't take it off?

Ah, what're they doing?

- Well, no, take it off - Give it to me, hurry

Arguing?

What are you arguing for?

Well, he doesn't give me my shoe

Huh, these are mine. You're saying that these are yours?

You two wear each shoe in each foot. You look great

Right, that's a good idea, wear it each

Wear one in each like this?

Saying that we walk with hopping?

This is harsher than catching a butterfly

Dad, you're home

Ah, those shoes make my feet hurt

Dad, buy a pair for me, too

Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes, No...

Honey, what is this sound?

She must be fortunetelling

Fortunetelling?

Is she sane?

She must be very bored on this holiday

Yes, No, Yes, No, Yes

Ah, they fell

Falling the flowers, time passes by with falling flowers

My youth becoming older

Falling flowers are also flowers

What do they sweep them away for

- Dad? - What?

Please give me 700 hwan for window shopping

Dad, give me 10,000 hwan for hiking

- 10,000 hwan? - Yes

What are you doing? I said first

I made a promise with my friends

It looks like raining today, don't go hiking

The forecast said that it'd get fine

- Do you trust the forecast? - Sure, dad

Oh, no

You guys should have known better

Do you guys know how much your father's wage is?

45,000 hwan a month from working that hard. Know better

Be thankful that you can continue to study

All of my classmates have cars and pianos

They must have ingenious fathers

There's no dad like my father without any skill

Watch out with your words

What's wrong, Mom?

They conclude you are an incapable man

Moreover, they think they are victims of dad's incapability

They're right, I am incapable

Value of parents shouldn't be judged by money

I can't serve my role of parent

Give me money, time and freedom

What?

Give me money, time and freedom

What does he say? Hon, what is he crying?

So do I. Give me money, time and freedom, too

Give me money, time and freedom

What a crazy

What? Give me money, time and freedom?

I want it too

Give me money, time and freedom, too

Honey, Who are you asking to?

Who are they asking to?

They're asking you to give

Is that so? I don't even have it

Lucky for you to have nothing

If they're given money, time and freedom,

they'd do all the bad things

in the world

Darling

am I rather lucky not to have money?

That's how I have good children thanks to having no money

Darling,

don't disrespect me please

Gob-dan

Mib-dan

Gob-dan

Hello

Making a promise, you didn't show up

I really can't go

Let's go, the weather is good at long last

I told you I don't have clothes

What? Why don't you wear that now?

- Wear this? - Looks good, why?

I don't like it

Hello

You came to hang out for a holiday. Where are you girls going?

We're going hiking

Oh, go have a good time

But, Gob-dan doesn't want to go without pants

- Pants? - Yes

Why should you wear pants?

Then what? Who would wear a skirt in mountain?

Don't worry about pants

Wear my pants and go

They must fit for you

The lenghth of your legs

and your buttocks and width will be just well-fitted

How could I wear pants with buttons?

That's all right

Look at these button holes

Suit pants usually have buttons

Oh, dad

Ah, you girls don't need buttons

If you don't need them, don't use them then

Put these on

Dad, you must be in senility

Give them to me

Girls, you go hiking

- Good bye - Have fun

Poor Gob-dan, we're leaving, Bye

Dad, what was that?

You humiliated me before my friends

It's not humiliating

I thought pants are all same

I didn't know there're difference in pants

Gob-dan, I'll buy you what you like later someday

- I hate you, I hate you - I'll buy ones for sure

Here comes a letter

From Choi Myung-gil?

Who is it for?

For Ebbun

Oh, this handwriting should be a man's

The envelope is decorated, and

the handwriting looks clumsy and he tried to look nice

A boy must have sent it

Read it quickly

No, it's infringing on her privacy

I'm the one responsible for her. Ebbun goes through her hardest time now

Dad

- Where did you go? - A friend's

- Ebbun - Yes?

You've got a letter

From who?

Who is Choi Myung-gil?

I don't know, who's Choi Myung-gil?

Girl, open it quickly

Don't you smell rotten fish?

He must put a lot of perfume on the letter

Girl, read it, hurry

Dear pretty Ebbun,

What are you murmuring?

Read it clearly

Did he write a secret story?

Then, listen

Dear pretty Ebbun,

I'm Choi Myung-gil who often meets on the way to school

When seeing you on the first day,

I can't forget your face, missing you always

I send this letter with my overwhelmed heart

Please pretend to know me next time you see me

or please reply to me if you like

Sincerely

Is that all?

How did you a big girl behave

to make this letter sent?

Is this my fault?

Then, it's not your fault?

Why is it my fault? Am I responsible for it?

I don't even know this guy

I never know

So what would you do?

I'll give this letter to you

I don't need it

What? Give it to me?

Give it to your mom? This love letter is for you

This is not a love letter

I don't think this childish letter is a love letter

What is it, a piece of crab?

What are you doing with such a valuable one?

What is so valuable with it?

Why do you make a fuss with nothing?

Honey

This is the first love letter for my youngest daughter

She tore it out, this precious thing

Get it out of my way

As for me,

I'll get it in a frame and hang on the wall

You... What a wishy-washy

Dear lovely Ebbun,

I used to write many letters to girls when young

Good for you, great

Think. There's a time for people to write letters

A person writing no letter or

a person with no letter received in a lifetime is lonely

it's not too late

You better write a love letter

and send it to me secretly

then I'll reply with my passion

I'll wirte to you. When you reply, send it back with many 1,000 hwan bills

Dad, dad

It's time for you to barber

Please go to barber's

Really? It's bothersome

I wish you could go today

Like foreigners,

I wish someone could cut my hair at home

Some should have the skill

What do you need the skill for?

To cut long hair is just fine

Do you want me to cut then?

Can you?

But, you shouldn't stop in the middle

Instead, I don't get paid since I'm new

I'll pay you though you're new

- Promise? - Sure

If Eum-jeon were here, she should have cut better

You might be better, you're the best

Do you know where she went?

I don't know

She went to do her hair at a beauty shop

She did?

We'll have a guest today

Who?

Her boyfriend

What? Her boyfriend?

Since when she has a...

It's been long

Did you know that before?

Sure

Your mother did too?

How could you go out with guys without your parents' knowing?

Eum-jeon can have one at her age

It's not that she can't

but how could I not know it?

That's why he comes to see you today

Today, after that long

I didn't have to tell you for the while

Then, their relationship has been deep enough to tell me now?

No, it's not that

You're thinking too seriously

That's why you told me to have my hair cut

Yes

It can't be like this

Call your mom, call mom

Let me introduce, This is my father

How do you do? I'm Jeon Woon-taek

I'm having my hair cut

I was going to see you for a long time

- Come up here - Thank you

- Ebbun, sweep this away - Yes

No, don't worry about me, and keep going please

No, I won't

You can't just stop here

Please keep going

Okay, Ebbun, what should we do?

- Go ahead - I don't know

What kind of barber are you?

Can I try?

Sure, you do it for him

- No, I can't let you - Go ahead

You're our guest for the first time

That's all right

Mother

You should've gone to the barber's

Now you brought a barber home

I can't help it

- Honey, come here - Why?

This is Eum-jeon's boyfriend

What?

- Nice to meet you - Yes

Don't blame me. I know nothing

Mom, this is Mr. Jeon working at the meteorological observatory

Oh, the meteorological observatory? You must be a scientist then

Yes

The meteorological observatory? What do you do there?

Yes, I'm in charge of forecasting

Forecasting?

That comes on newspapers and broadcasts?

It is related too

Okay, then stop seeing her right now

What? Why?

Nope

I can never let her see a fickle person like you

What? Am I?

Then, what is it?

Today we will have southeasterly wind or northwestern wind

lt'll be clear or cloudy, somewhere we'll have rain for a time

Our observatory never announces those vague forecasts

Never?

Then why is it that it'd be fine when you'd say it's raining,

and it'd be raining when you'd say it's sunny

Sometimes, it isn't correct

Don't mention it

I use the forecasts on the reverse side

When it says it's fine, I bring my umbrella, and

when it says it's raining, I wear my new clothes

It can't be correct all the time because the south and north Korea is not yet reunified,

we can't catch the weather of the north, and

we don't have an observation plane

to catch the distribution of atmospheric pressure toward south

But, it is true that what we're doing now is scientific

Okay then

You, a scientist and me a non-scientist

- do you want us to make a bet? - What kind of bet?

Whether we'll have rain today

It won't be raining

I'm sure it's raining

at least in two hours

It won't

It will, for sure it'll be raining

It's just your guess

No, I'll prove it with my confidence

Honey, a scientist says that it's not raining, how could you be so sure?

Hey, all the animals,

birds, and insects know If it rains

You're unduly stubborn

It's not my obstinacy, but my experience

It won't be raining

It will

It won't

It will

It never will

It will

Well, no it won't

It will

Dad

It's raining

Oh, it's coming, it's raining

I've been cheated all the time, now I feel thrilled

I can now get rid of my 10 year's stress

Feeling so good and nice

- Honey, look out - Darling

You could catch a cold now

It's just a short shower

You must need many expenses for your daughter's wedding

I've already told the accountant. You can use it

Thank you

And as you might hear that

I might be moving to a director's position in main office.

I see

And the chief Oh is decided to come to my position now from the main office

Mr. Oh

He is too enthusiastic

but is smart though

so he knows how to deal with it

I ask you to help him well

Mom, dad's home

Here you come

What are those?

Socks

For Eum-jeon?

No, a gisaeng in neighbor came to ask me to sew in a hurry

A gisaeng(a bar girl)?

Yes, she moved to our neighbor

Is there a bar open around here?

No, she just lives around here

Where?

You see the grocery shop up there?

Yes

There's a well when you turn left there

Yes, there is

When you go up more

There's an alley on the left

- A drugstore is right straight up there - Yes it is

Drugstore

Turning left there, there's a beauty shop in second floor

Beauty Shop Turning left there, there's a beauty shop in second floor

and a brick wall comes turning at the butcher's at the opposite side of the beauty shop

And from the brick wall

First, second

First, second, third and?

Honey, what's is her house so interesting for?

What?

Why do you want to know her house that much?

When did I want to know?

Then why do you keep asking?

When did I ask? You kept saying

I told you, because you wanted to know

I heard you, because you told me

Did I just answer vainly what you didn't even ask?

That's funny

Huh, I'll bring you to her house. Get up

- When did I say I'm coming? - Huh, get up

Get up, hurry, get up

It's useless for me to know it

Why did you want to know if useless then?

It's useful for you

sewing her socks

Do I sew them for her attraction?

My family never goes to gisaeng bars by generations

Then, has my family ever gone there?

Go dad! Go mom!

Go dad! Go mom!

Think about our children

You'd better not lose your face before them

It's not good for education

It's worse for your education, not for theirs

Consider your own age

Have some dignity as a father before children

You saying that I don't have any dignity? You wicked

Here dad comes

Here he comes

Come on, be quiet

Dad, did you come?

You just escaped to here

It's not an escape, but a strategic retreat

Mom's always nagging with dad, isn't she?

Dad, you're a handsome guy

Indeed you are

What? Am I handsome?

Yes, sure. That's why mom always bothers you

When young, you must have been nicer

I was better than others when young

There must be many girls to ask you to go out

Not a few

You must have many romantic stories

What? Romantic stories? I didn't have many...

I rejected them all

You must have at least one though

No, I can't remember

If I were you, I'd never get married to a woman like mom

Hey, you. Did you say that to your mother?

Dad,

don't you think of dating a girl again now?

Since I got married and dated at the same time,

I don't think of it

You're lucky to have mom, a woman of your ideal

The thing is that I was an ideal man for your mother

No way

Dad, dad, so are you happy?

- What? Happy? - Yes, are you happy?

That's your mom who is happy than me

Your mom is happy because she married me

Really?

Of course

From old times women's happiness depends on men

Is it okay if I ask mom?

Go to ask, go, go

Mom

Mom, how did you get married to dad?

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Did your father say anything?

No

What did he say to make

all of you come to me and ask?

Father said that you are happy

Happy?

Huh, am I happy? He must not know what happiness is

Then, do you think you're unhappy with marrying dad?

- Who said unhappy? - See

What is it then, you're not happy or unhappy?

Of all the men

you got married our handsome dad, so you must be happy

Who on earth said he's handsome? Who said that?

That's only him to say that he's handsome with nothing

That kind of face is too ordinary in this world

We want to know

if you are happy in marriage with dad

It's your dad who is happy

Why?

Why? Men's happiness depends on what women make

Dad said the exactly opposite thing

The opposite thing? Tell him to wake up

Women can live happily by themselves

Let men live by themselves, and see if they're happy

Then, why did you get married?

Who knows? Your grandma told me to to

But dad really loves you

There's no other ideal woman like you in the world

So, dad said that he got married and dated with you as well

How cheesy!

And he asked us to take after you

Now your dad comes to know better

So, he said that you are a savior woman for him

What? A savior woman?

Good for you, mom

I envy you

Dad, dad, dad

See. Am I right when you asked your mom?

Sure, according to mom, you are the savior for her

She told me only to take after you

Now, she knows better on a man's value

Mom know the only man in the world you dad

She said you're the ideal man

Dad, mom told us to leave and

to tell you to come over

Go dad, hurry to get up

What did you say to the kids,

a savior woman or something? You must be crazy

Because they asked me,

I told them the truth

Your happiness is me, sure I am

Happiness or whatever, you don't say before them.

Keep it inside of your mind.

Why do you say that to them?

Then why do you carry blind daring?

Do you still think of me like that?

You such a gentle man

You such a great person

so am I your savior and ideal wife?

What?

I rather feel embarrassed and ashamed

Didn't you say that I'm your savior and ideal husband

Huh, who told you that?

You told that to the kids, didn't you?

They told me that you said that

Lying?

The kids asked me why such a handsome guy like me got married to you

For me, they asked me why I got married with you of all men

So, are you not satisfied with me?

Then, are you unsatisfied with me?

Your happiness is...

I don't care happy or unhappy. What kind of person are you?

Hearing a love song,

Telling the old times, our happy young days

Silver moonlight lights on the hill

When we whispered with love

They're making fun of us

What an absurd

It's pleasant

Time passing like a dream

I miss my love in my heart

Honey, you should go to work today

Yes, I'll wake up

Wash your face please

- Have you waken up already? - Yes, I have

A person can be changed that much after marriage?

After marriage, she's now a totally different person

- Honey, wash your face - Yes

- Gob-dan - Yes

You've got the fragrant soap, don't you? Let me borrow it

Oh, that's just for me. Why does she want it?

To give brother-in-law

Ebbun

Yes

You've got the new towel you won from the school sports day

Let me borrow it

I don't even use it for saving. Is he my husband? Why should I give it to him?

- How stingy - Bring it to her

What are you doing? Hurry

Sis, well, our brother-in-law is

not washing his face with hands, but his hands with his face

What? Where?

I can't see him

Wait, wait

Ah, Who made this hole in the window?

Making a hole?

It had a hole from the beginning

When will you know better?

Sis, let me use his razor

Why do you want that instead of yours?

Ebbun broke it cutting her pencils

Huh, when did I?

Hey, Ebbun, look at her

She doesn't let him use the razor of her husband

though she uses all of our towel and soap

Please let me use, or is it getting worn?

Honey, let him use it

No

You don't know what kind of beard he has

it's like iron wires. Get in

What a bad-hearted! It's too serious

Ue-jin, you don't need to shave today, do you?

I want to shave today for sure

She's changed too much only after a few days

Just my luck! A button just fell

Sis, sis, have this button sewn on my suit

Why on earth do you ask me to sew?

Ask Gob-dan or Ebbun to do

I'm busy, going to school

I'm busy, too. Have I ever sewn that?

I've got only you sis, sis?

I'm busy

Am I your sewing person?

Huh, this is too bad

She was not like that even yesterday

What are you standing there for like a pole?

Mother,

allow me to get married

What? You'll get married so soon?

You have an older brother and sister

You're the last one to marry

Should I wait this button sewn until then?

You want to marry because you don't have a person to sew that? What a boy...

I won't shave until I marry as well

Crazy boys

Honey, those boys see their sister get married, and

they're saying they want to get married too

The whole bunch of them?

They think getting married is an epidemic?

Why don't you take more days off? Do you go to work today?

Good morning

I should go to work today

Take some time with breakfast, won't you?

Is a storm coming if you don't work?

Father... Honey, give me an umbrella

Why do you bring an umbrella on this sunny day?

The forecast says it's raining

Right, the forecast does

The forecast is correct

Right, if your husband said it would rain, it will

Your husband is your heaven, so what can you do?

I'm taking off

Dad, I'm going

Anyways, you are fastidious

What were all the family doing?

Why were you looking at him strangely?

Who were looking at him?

What was it then?

He is a person, not a animal we caught in the zoo

Mom was, too. Dad was so. The guys were as well

Why are you blaming us? What did we do?

A person cannot say a word, and even breathe

Are you killing a man?

Girl, don't you be so upset

Your bros and sis didn't have bad intention

They're glad to have a brother-in-law

Stop it

You're bad too, dad

You said that since your husband is heaven, he said it's raining though it's not

How could you humiliate him so much?

But, your husband brought an umbrella,

so why do you care so much?

He must be ashamed if it doesn't rain

So what should I do?

You give a sarcastic twist

Girl, it's not sarcasm, but you are too nervous these days

Eum-jeon, take a good rest if you feel tired

Ah, honey, I suffer from neuralgia since I'm called father-in-law for the first time

Shall I take a day off?

Did you get married?

The groom went to work, but why do you want a day off?

Okay, I'm going

Honey

I don't think it's raining

Honey, you too

I should get going too

It's cold

How come it's so cold?

Are you saying it's cold now?

Dad, they say it's been 10 years since last coldness

Stop it, they are apt to say 10 years or 20 years

every year, they do

No, it is colder than last year

Is this what you wrote?

Yes, give me that

- Sis? - What? What?

Hold it tight

Let me see

What do you know about it?

Huh, I do, it's a script

A script?

It's a movie script

- Oh, movie - Give it to me, let me see

It's me who should see most of all

If you wrote any masterpiece,

I with rich life experience should read to know if it's good

Dad, please read loudly

Honey, let me hear it too

Quiet, call your brother-in-law

Eum-jeon, you two come over here

Dad, read loudly

- No, no - I'll read it

I'll

What's up, dad?

Sit

Your brother wrote a book

He did?

I'll tell you the short story

Mary and Na Sang-gi love each other

But, he has a wife and children,

and Mary has her parents who don't understand it

Mary's parents are deeply in debt, and

Mary is already pregnant

What a nonsense! You said Mary is a virgin

Mom, quiet please

Kids...

This scene is at the sand beach of Han River in midnight

Under the scattered moonlight,

Na Sang-gi is waiting for Mary impatiently

At the moment, Mary is running towards from a distance, calling

Sang-gi, Sang-gi

Mary, Mary

Sang-gi, have you been waiting long?

Yeah

Did you think I won't coming?

I believed you

Even if the world stop our love,

there's the only way they can't stop is waiting for us over there

Sang-gi, I'm glad

After a few minutes, those waves will hug our love

Cut, cut

This immoral scene can't be passed by censorship

What part is immoral?

The motivation is already indocile

Do you think it's his creation?

This is a mix of La Traviata and Anna Karenina

What? Hey, this is my own creation

A creation or whatever,

I don't agree on this love story out of the three bonds and the five moral rules in human relations

Mom and dad are too stubborn

If I were you, I wouldn't develop this drama

to make it more elegant, for example

No, why are you rewriting my drama?

I can say my opinion?

What would you do, if you did?

I'll stick with the man with a wife and children

But, make him an elderly poet, not a young man

and, I won't make Mary pregnant

I'll make her very passionate and their love platonic

Mary, there's nothing beautiful like Mary in the world

Mary is a symbol of beauty

Sir, I'm just a humble woman

No. It's true

Mary, with hair like waves

and eyes like a clear lake

Mary, if you want a lover, what kind of person would you choose?

Me? A man like you

Like me? I'm already too old

No, if a man like you appeared to me 30 years ago,

he would be younger and handsome, but he'd be same as you now

I love you and I'll marry you

Mary, you know true love and life when old

But, when you know it, it's too late

No, no. All start from now

Mary, Mary

Honey, honey

Hey, what are you daydreaming indecently?

What? It's only a play

What's a play?

You always dream this in your mind

You talk nonsense

Confess it

No, I don't

I never do

Stop lying

Hurry to confess

Oh, mom, that's a replay of Faust by Goethe

Right, it's Faust by Goethe

You don't need to bug me

Faust? The man who sells his soul to a demon?

That's right

Watch out you too, before you're sold to a demon

Then what about you? What would you do in this case?

I'll make it very artistic

How?

Mine is not a cheap, trendy love story

Listen well

The man is a bachelor for sure

but he changes his mind

Honey, listen to me

If I go, I won't forever. If I go forever, would you forget me?

Our parting only for short time, can't you wait?

I couldn't tell my father, but mother. She scolded badly that

I followed the parents to this country only to meet a concubine

Honey, my husband

are you sure of your words?

When we met and married, did your parents tell you to?

Your excuse is nonsense, sure it is

In the middle of night when you sit there and I sit here

Did you forget all you said?

You vicious and cruel

Kill me if you want to go

Kill me and go

All the village could wake up

Why are you crying in the middle of night?

Mother, I'm dying, I'm dying

What did you just say? Are you dying?

Tell me frankly

I'm cheated, cheated, mother

When we make a vow before god

we swore to live together for 100 years,

now he's leaving me though

Leaving? Is he leaving you?

Love is as long as a day, a vow is as hard as paper

I told you girl. Didn't I tell you?

You didn't listen to your mom, and see him on your own.

Now good for you, good for you

I was going to match you with a great man,

for you and for me before me

You stupid, let me die, after you do

- What's this crab, you stupid? - Mother

I won't dump her. I'll take her

Don't be too harsh

You brat, we need to talk

You loved my daughter and now you're dumping her?

My daughter is ugly?

Is she in low class?

Is she rude or mean?

Tell me why you dump her

Tell me, come on, tell me, you brat

Say, say

You're great memorizing all lines of Chung Hyang

You're so good, just like Chung Hyang's mom

This is not Chung Hyang, but a fact

If you don't listen to your parents,

that could happen to you, understand?

Yes

You're telling me now, then

Be careful

Dad, you won't have a daughter, will you?

You're think of it, dad?

I don't know. I'm suffering from neuralgia

Are you ill due to thinking of our weddings?

I want to be nicer to you girls

Don't worry, we'll get married to rich men

Are you ready?

Yes

Then, father and mother

Okay, you're really marrying

Mother, good bye

Okay

Gob-dan, Ebbun, take care

Eum-jeon

Now, you live without us

Take good care of yourself

You know what marriage is?

It is totally different two persons living in a family

Even if he's your husband, he is a person unrelated for sure

I can tell your husband is gentle and good

But, a man is all the same

If you don't like anything about him,

come back anytime

Come back to where?

You don't have to be forced to live in unhappy marriage, got it?

Her husband wouldn't make her unhappy

We always have a room for you, and

our door is always open for you

But, you have a generous mind, and

be patient for ordinary things

Still, you don't have to endure by force

But be patient even though it's hard

women should be patient

It depends on the extent she endure. Think of me

It's been a lifetime for me to endure after one and two days

Life is to endure, to make your best and to endure

Why do you endure? A man should be patient

You don't have to be patient

You have your parents and brothers:sisters

After marriage, they're all useless

Just endure

You,

why are you trying to drive your daughter out?

I'm saying for her happiness

You're thinking of men's happiness than hers

What is your problem?

See, men are all like him

Eum-jeon, listening to them,

it's scary to get married

I feel like I put you in a grave

No, I'm really happy

Our parents are just worrying about me

Mom, Dad, please don't worry about me

Though you raised me, I go back on my obligation,

I'm sorry to find my own happiness

Honey, did you hear her?

Honey, here comes the car

- Let's go, shall we? - Yes

Honey, I'm going

It's a soy sauce bottle

Who is it?

Freeze

I'll kill you if you shout

Are you a owner of this house?

Me?

Yes, or what are you?

I try to eat something for drink

So, are you a thief too?

Did you come here to steal, too?

All right, you must have searched the house first

There's nothing in this house

Don't tell a lie

You found gold and silver

You've already saved it

This is mine

Don't lie

What is yours, of a thief?

Let's share the hot goods in this house

Is this all?

Are you sure you searched all?

Sure, there's nothing to take here

Let's try other place then

Empty this glass first

Why are you tarrying?

We've got time until this family comes back

How'd you know it?

I just do

You're stealing your acquaintance's house?

What a ungrateful man!

Me?

Yes.

Though you have no sense of honor,

you look good though

Thanks, drink a glass

Let me ask you a thing

Why are you being a thief?

Is a thief asking a thief why?

Let's have a frank talk, shall we?

Uhmm

I've got 12 children

12?

Moreover, my wife is expecting a baby today or tomorrow,

but I got fired from my janitorjob

by the personnel cut or something

Who would care of my situation?

I should buy some seaweed or something

Thanks

Drink it and let's play

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky Home,

Let's get going

- Honey - We've got a guest

Hey

Hey, take some seaweed, hey, take it

This watch

Honey, what's up with the watch again?

It doesn't work like you

When it's one, it rings 5 times, and when it's 5, it rings once

The watch becomes old like you

What? Old like me?

Isn't it?

We bought it when we got married

What a great memory

Did we buy it in marrying?

I bought this when I entered middle school

Then, it's older

This watch is from my old generation

This watch is dying now

If you kept fixing the dying watch,

it would make you a trouble

If it's dying, it can't be worse than new ones

It's so strange

Some must have touched it

Ue-jin

He's out

Gob-dan

Gob-dan and Ebbun are all out

Baruen, you come here

Why?

Where are all gone?

I don't know

You don't know?

When they are all gone out,

why did you not go out?

That's why I can be called the exemplary one of five

You're the delinquent one of five

Me?

Yes

I'm the person full of vitality,

and most active, so you see me like that

If so, that'd be lucky

Sure, it is true

Okay

Then, you don't trust me?

I do

You do so easily?

I trust my son, or who else?

That's why you're wrong

Wrong? What's wrong with me?

I feel disappointed

Hey, why are you disappointed when I trust you?

You trust me so easily, so I have no one to struggle against

I want to fight and win

With me?

Yes, you're the power of this family

So, are you fighting with me?

I am

until I win

Okay, let's fight

Yes

How'd you like to fight?

Let's arm-wrestle

- Arm-wrestle? - Yes

Okay Let's do it

You, be steady with your elbow

That's unreasonable

Get your elbow in

Wait

Honey,

Hey, you, I told you to study, but

you're arm-wrestling with you father?

Wait

And what again?

Your mom is talking

She's talking to me, not you

As you're afraid to lose, are you hesitating for nothing?

What? Lose? Am I losing?

You can't beat me anyhow

Good for you, you're great

You're 19 years old now

I'll support your elbow, let's fight, you

I won't

Don't say anything after you lose

- Sure not - Come on

- See - Stay

- Wow, I win - Let's do it again

I won, I won

I feel great. Dad is nothing for me

I won over the power of my family

You're being stupid

What is stupid?

I beat dad with arm-wrestling

What? Dad, you lost?

I did

Why did you do it to lose, dad?

But, Baruen, you

- You don't have to be so proud - Why not?

If we did Korea wrestling, you couldn't win.

Dad, don't...

Want to do it?

Dad, dad

You must be in early dotage

No one beat me with Korean wrestling 20 years ago

Stop saying old days

I'm good

- Are you sure? - Who knows?

Sure

You want to try?

- You can lose again - What? Hey, what?

Don't do it

- Let's try - No, I won't

Dad, dad

- You're like a child - Attack me first

Baruen, you'd better lose furtively

What? Lose furtively?

You might not want to hear that you're old

What? Am I old? Am I old? You brat

Dad, dad

We'll see. He's losing anyways

You get my pants torn, you

Attack his calf

That's too bad

I told you not to do it

See what I said

Did you get hurt?

Can't you wake up? You must be hurt

Dad, dad

Dad, dad

What's a big deal? Let's get in

Oh, my neck. I sprained my neck

See, what did I tell you?

That's all right now

Where are you hurt?

Even though it's wrestling, how could you do this to your dad?

I didn't know you're so weak

You think a 19 year old man is same as a 52 year old?

You think they're in same situation?

I should've won

You kept telling that I was losing. That's why I lost

You've got an excuse

Baruen

You don't need to be so proud

I lost in Korean wrestling, but if we do the olympic wrestling, you're nothing to me

The wrestling? I'm confident of it

In fact, I'm the captain of school wrestling team

What? Who sent you to school to learn wrestling?

You didn't talk to us about that?

If I did, would you agree with me?

You know we wouldn't, then why do you do it?

Honey, stop

I know wrestling better than you do

You need a healthy neck for wrestling

So even if the shoulders are touched, strengthen the neck

Mr. Kim, have you heard that our company will also have a reduction of staff

There're many people working in the main office,

so ask them to send us more staff after they cut

It's not that kind of reduction though

You, feel ease

nothing works here without you Mr. Lee

It's not that. I just don't want to see the new manager

I wish I could be fired

- He's too pretentious - Stop it

Mr. Lee, The manager is calling you

OK

Mr. Kim, please go in

He told me to do outside duty

What?

Did you call me?

Ah, please be seated there

Yes

Would you like to smoke?

Ah

I heard that you've been here since this office was open

Yes

I just came from the main office, but you'd hear from some talks

In fact, I'm sorry that you're given the order to be reduced

What? Me?

Sir, I've been working for 7 years at the main, and 6 years here

and I work as a deputy manager

Then, why

I know it

I tried to persuade them, but

you're too old to work hard

and it would be better for young staffs

I see

And I just saw the account.

You got paid 500,000 hwan in advance for your daughter's wedding

I'm sorry but I'll make it your retirement grants and wage for this month

I'm so sorry

You're not like me, young

Since such a meritorious person like you was fired,

everyone feels sorry

I should've quit before they told me to

Mr. Lee should work hard from now

Whatever

Sir, would you like to drink?

Okay

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky Home,

The salary of 45,000 hwan is gone now

Money is money, but look at yourself with nothing

A gentle man would wander without a job

- I'll die? - Mr. Kim, Mr. Kim

Drink

If you meet my family,

please don't tell them I got fired

Won't you tell your family?

I can't tell them. How could I?

But, you can't hide it for good

Of course not

but, now there's no other way

You come home on time as you go to work everyday

Of course I should

What about the salary then?

It would come anyhow

Look, after I lost my position, I wear a crown of freedom in my head

I feel relieved

I don't need to bow all the better or worse people

I won't get tempted by bribes

I'm totally free now

Mr. Kim

Hey, look at my head

I'm wearing a crown though it's a beer bottle cap

I'm a prince of freedom

I'm a prince of freedom from today

Hey, you people, show me your respect

Oh, my neck

Seeing it fallen,

my great head must be smaller than a crown

Hey, sir, please be quiet

What? What are you, woman?

Hey, take care of him

Sir, what're you doing?

- My crown - Mr. Kim

My crown

- I'm free - Let's take off

I'm free

Give me my crown, my crown

The sun

shines bright

- on my old Kentucky Home, - Dad, dad

Hey, you, what are you doing here?

Going out to drink?

No

Then what are you doing?

I'm studying the real society and life

Look at you, fella

If you want to study the society and life,

Study me first

I did much today anyways

- Come with me - Good bye

Go ahead, dad

Ue-jin

Are you wandering at night alone?

I'm not alone

I have a girlfriend with me

A girlfriend?

I've seen her somewhere

She's an actress. I'll introduce her later

I thought you go to school, but you don't study hard,

and just go out with an actress at bars

You must have graduated from school

Dad, I quit school

What? When did you quit?

Some while ago

So, you said you're going to school, but

where have you been? Huh?

I've been filming

Filming?

Ue-jin

I also quit working today

What? Your work? Why?

I got fired, though you didn't like to go

Is that so?

I won't tell your mom I got fired

She'd bother me,

and I'll go out with my bag

as if I go to work every morning like you do

It's good for you to quit

but where would you be all day?

I haven't though of it

Can I follow you where you go?

That's... dad

I'm better at film than you are

You know Greta Lovisa Gustafson

Emil Jannings, Douglas Fairbanks, Ron Cheney

That's enough, dad

First, I'll give you some pocket money from tomorrow

Come to a coffee shop everyday

- At a coffee place for a whole day? - Yes

Where do you get the money for me?

It's time for me to make it

To come and go, you'll need 200 hwan for bus fare

100 hwan for tea

100 hwan for cigarettes, so 400 hwan for all

I'll give you 500 hwan everyday

Look at you

I should get going then

Okay, go

- Ue-jin - Yes

- It's a secret for your mom - Yes

You promise?

It's the bargaining point with my quitting

Dad, you should go to work

Yes, I should

Honey, why didn't you let me know the time?

Is this all right that often?

Dad,

if you get bored, go to a checker game club

Uhmm

Come home early, then

What're you doing here?

You visit me here

Come here and sit

How's your business?

Thanks, it's all right

Do you still work there?

In fact, I quit

Are you retiring so soon?

I envy you

You shouldn't worry as you have grown-up sons and daughters

My first son goes to a kindergarten now,

how pathetic!

I came here to ask you a difficult favor

Is there a post available in this company?

A post available?

To get your son to work?

For me

What? For you?

As an general worker or an accountant, perhaps

It doesn't make sense since you're not a young man to learn how to work

If you want to come, we should treat you as an advisor

See, I'm notjoking

If I could do on my own, that's no problem, but

the business is not that good though

We reduced about 10 workers a few days ago

Reduced?

Yes, it happens everywhere these days

I'm worrying if the wages can be paid tomorrow

I hate the last day of the month

Well, we don't have any work for you

Most of our staffs are young engineers

If I should, I'll learn

Don't mention it

If you let me know 3 days ago, we had an empty post at the general affairs

Sir, the car is ready

Okay

It's your special favor, but I'm sorry

I'm busy and should get going

Come with me?

Let's go

Mr. Kim, Mr. Kim

How have you been? It's been a long time

It's really been a long time

Where are you off to?

I'm returning after meeting a friend

Good, let me buy you a drink

Today is a payday, so I've got some

- A payday? - Yes

Shall we go to that place?

I'm busy now, and let's have another chance

It's been a long time to see you though

- Bye - All right

I won

Do you have the time?

I see

Welcome

Is it broken?

No

I want to sell it

How much do you want?

45,000 hwan would be reasonable

What? Please find another place

Why? Isn't it that valuable?

Lts price only depends on the gold

How much would you pay for the gold?

Well, you look urgent, so I'll make it 15,000 hwan

This is 18k gold

Well

Aren't you selling the chain?

No...

Mom, dad's home

You're late today

Ah, where is your watch, dad?

The watch is broken suddenly

I got it mended at the shop

Would you like to have dinner?

Give me some cold water

Here is the salary

What?

Due to the money for Eum-jeon's wedding, they take 30,000 hwan every month

30,000 hwan every month from such a small salary?

I should pay back the money

We can't live even with eating rich soup

Hey, did you ask that to your father-in-law?

The insurance of my brother-in-law

Oh, I forgot, sorry

I'll call him now

Do you still live happily?

Yes

Hello, is this Dong-bang Insurance?

Can I talk to Mr. Kim?

What? He quit? When?

That's what your husband said?

Yes, he called dad's company

to ask something for his friend

And they said he quit a month ago already

Why didn't he tell us that he's retired

He might have thought that we were disappointed

He's been going out every morning naturally

and he comes back with his salary

Mom, I guess he sold his watch

He said he got it mended when he brought the salary

He would only wear the chain after then

He must've sold the watch, my old man

He must be so hurt

He's got nowhere to go but he goes out everyday

We can'tjust sit here like this

We should help father from now on

You used to say that you fight and win over the best power

Hey, sis

He doesn't have any power now

I'll earn my tuition from typing

I'll go tutoring for part times

My friend will give me some Jindo dogs,

so I'll breed them for sale

They have 4-5 puppies at a time, which become 3 times a year

A puppy would be 30,000 hwan, wow

I'll knit and embroider to help now

I should needle work for pay diligently

That's good

If all of our family work, that's no worry dad is not working

Yes, yes

But, first pretend you don't know until your dad tells us

And, dad's watch as well

Right, pretend you don't know about it

Stand up, Stand up

I am a boy, You are a girl, He is a man, She is a woman

Gob-dan

Gob-dan

Yes

Come over here

What date is it today?

Today? 23rd, why?

Isn't the day after tomorrow your dad's birthday?

Oh, right

We almost forget

- Turn, turn, turn - What are you doing here?

You're home

Mom, dad's home

Dad's home

What's all that on the door?

That's for fun for the kids since it's boring

What's boring about?

For you students, it's good for you to work,

and to be economically independent

But, this is our family and a shelter for me and you

Take them off

Yes

Here it is

Eum-jeon, could he find his watch?

Well, I don't know

Honey

Ah, how did it go?

I found it

Ah, mom, kids, he found the watch

the watch, watch

How did you?

It's nonsense that

I've been looking for it at every single shop

It's great for you to find it

I was lucky

You're home

- You came - Yes

- With Eum-jeon? - Yes

What?

What are you all doing today wearing new dresses?

And you?

Do you know what today is?

Today?

Dad, come up here

Dad, hurry to come up

Come in

Our romantic papa

Is today my birthday?

Dad,

please sit here

Mom, sit here please

We lit only one candle instead of lighting the number of your age

May you live until 100 years old

Thank you

Dad, happy birthday to you

Honey

Dad, this is a present from five of us

Oh, a present? Even a present?

Open it, dad

Ah

Dad, let me have you put on

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,

happy birthday to you

Dad, the candle

Please drink
