Taffy. please!

Suyu District - Seoul Station

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

All right!

Could you...

tell me your name?

You should tell me yours first. Where are your manners?

Miss!

My name...

My name is...!

SALUT D'AMOUR

KIM Sungchil

Oh, my!

What the hell's going on here?

What are you doing, blocking off another man's house!

Hey, you! Move that truck!

Don't you hear me?

If you're going to move, you should ask permission first!

No manners at all, you people!

Don't worry about him.

You've blocked the entire road!

- I can't believe...! - Hide and seek!

Where's Da-young?

I'm hiding!

Da-young!

Hurry up and move this truck!

- Or I'll call the district office! - We'll move it at once.

- Hurry up! - Yes, sir.

That smell... I caught you! You ate meat?

No no... it was bacon.

If you cook meat, carbon dioxide will melt the glaciers faster!

Then what about the polar bears?!

Hey, why aren't you in school?!

Dragon Unit! Regiment 110, Marine Choi Ho-sup!

- Dragon Unit! Marine... - You chump!

Don't you know your regiment number?

You were discharged ages ago, and still wearing that uniform?

I'm #110, you're #131!

Hey gramps!

You're blocking the damn road and I can't pass!

Outta the way!

- Gramps! - Dragon Unit!

KIM Sungchil Jangsu Mart

These are all about to expire!

I should have gone to a big chain store.

Thought I'd save some time, what a mess.

Oh my god!

What are you doing?

Hey, mister!

I'm looking at those!

What's gotten into this guy?

Is this how you treat customers? Like a piece of crap?

This store is completely crazy!

Hey, Mr. Kim!

Slow down! I'm not going anywhere.

What is it? The boss wants you to come.

He can come here. Young jerk, ordering me around.

No kidding! I'm busy too, he should come to me.

He's always ordering me around. Young jerk!

Redevelopment means modernization!

Modernization means bringing Jangsu Mart into the digital age.

I know why you object to our district's redevelopment.

Because you're scared, but don't worry.

As for me,

could I even imagine Jangsu Mart without you?

All the products in this store remember your touch.

They need you!

Jangsu Mart is KIM Sungchil!

I'm with you forever. I am!

Chosen by customers as Employee of the Month,

two months in a row...

You think I stay because I've nowhere to go?

I'm a marine.

You think I can't do manual labor?

Wanna arm wrestle?

Calm down, please!

Let's redevelop the boss!

- Your seal... your approval... - Damn, that's bitter.

Redevelopment Committee Chief,

I'm the owner, but I work the kitchen, the tables, and do deliveries.

Damn!

And you can't even handle one old man?

Only thing in the kitchen is yogurt.

That's my wife's! Now you're dead.

Is this a cockroach training camp?

Yeah, buy them some clothes. They're cold.

My wife...

says if I can't send her money, to stop calling too.

Then why'd you bundle up your kid and make her into an exile?

In the Philippines, no less!

An exchange student!

Exchange students with no cash are exiles!

You make me want to drink bacteria.

Boksung!

Did you send the girls on delivery again?

So unprofessional. Customers are coming!

That's why we should have kids! Sons, daughters... how nice!

They'll cook, do deliveries... One big happy family, huh?

You really want to raise kids in this hellhole?

With the redevelopment on hold?

God, what a temper!

We should just leave this neighborhood. What the hell?

Oh!

You think I applied here to do deliveries?

Sit down! Next to me, I mean!

It's Jangsu! Come to see me?

Did the old man give his consent?

Now you're at it, too?

- Go and work, dammit! - All right, sorry!

Always high quality, low prices! We have a sale now!

Today's items are fabulous! Fill up your cart today!

Mom.

What? Did you get everything?

Let's go.

Okay.

Where's my damned key!

So, he cooked rice and then ran off?

That's what I said!

Sir, why are you doing this?

I'm serious!

- Somebody cooked... - Are you bored?

Is that why you're doing this?

Listen, there is rice in my rice cooker!

Goodbye, sir.

That damned ass!

As I mentioned before,

free English lessons with native speakers!

Our neighborhood sure will change!

Wish this were the dedication ceremony.

Imagine the apartments there. Sprouting up all over!

At the residents center swimming pool, with our Ja-young and her mom,

tanning ourselves, drenched in oil!

You don't have the body for it, you're out!

Is the redevelopment really happening?

How many damned years have we waited?

Stop raining on our parade!

- What rain? - Just trust me!

We have got the unfortunate news that an extreme minority

of one or two people are objecting to the redevelopment.

But if I can explain it to them again,

there's no doubt in my mind

we can secure their...!

Approval?

Turn it off-and-on!

No, don't do that! Mr. Kim!

- Jangsu! Oh my god! - Keep going! Mr. Kim!

Mr. Kim!

Open the door!

They want to tear up the neighborhood,

and throw away everything broken?

With no thought for old men like us.

Who made it possible for them to live this way?

Shipping us off to fight in Vietnam and earn dollars!

Yummy.

- Drink some milk, too! - Okay.

Look at you!

Wish I had so much to smile about.

Did you contact your family?

Heard you met them on the street?

The marines can even catch ghosts,

Our brave marines...

Put some life into it! This is a marching song!

The blood-boiling passion of youth, who can stop it?

Losecl the last Tuesday of each month - Jangsu Mart

He forgets his day off, but never forgets his seal.

Mr. Kim!

We're going to play soccer, want to come?

If you're playing, why should I come?

Okay, okay! Pass!

Short pass to Boksung, there!

You whiffed it!

Throw me the ball.

Mr. Kim, could we have the ball? Throw it in.

Go on!

Huh, what are you doing, Mr. Kim?

- Did you see that? - Mr. Kim, that's amazing!

- Did you see that kick? - Enjoy!

Everyone, today's meal fee is $10! Cheap, right?

Can't you just treat us?

Besides, you lost the damned game!

- All right. - No kidding!

Should've cheered for District 2.

Thank you!

Credit me for mending your wife's skirt.

- What? - You didn't pay for her skirt.

Paying for this meal would sure leave a bad taste.

Too bad you're so badly exposed.

Next time, the stew restaurant...

You all did your best.

But you know, the essence of soccer is

teamwork, skill, reaction time.

You're the first person I've met who lacks all three.

Next time let's leave you out,

and have Mr KIM take your place.

No, we have our pride!

We lose at soccer, and the redevelopment's postponed.

Jangsu, don't be such a pacifist.

Got any bright ideas?

Hey Boksung!

Like he said, let's drop you and bring in the old man.

When mendo sports together,

sharing those moments, guy to guy...

Friendship! You get friendship.

Damn you!

- Listen up! - Let's drop him.

- Sit down, honey. - Huh?

Why are you all so naive?

Young men, old men, what do they all like?

Card games?

We just want redevelopment.

What's this?

Hot women.

"Follow me, boys!"

"Bring your seal!"

Oh my gosh!

Who are you?

- This isn't what you think. - Thief!

Don't move, thief! Freeze!

What did I tell you?

Someone's been breaking in to my home, and making rice!

I can't believe this old man.

What kind of generous thief would cook rice for you?

I wish that thief would break into my home!

How can you say that!

- I wanted to give you rice cakes. - Rice cakes?

Rice cakes, my ass!

She wanted... to steal from me!

No, I didn't.

Let go of me!

Mom!

Have some tea to soothe your nerves.

Tea?

Wait a minute!

Go on inside. I want to talk to him.

Tell me you're sorry, to wrap this up.

Who told you to just walk into an empty house?

I was worried about you.

The door was open, and no one answered me.

It's because you live alone.

I went inside, just in case something happened.

You satisfied?

What's your name?

I'm KIM Sungchil.

'Sung' meaning star, 'chil' meaning seven.

My name...

My name is...

Geum-nim.

Family name 'lM.'

IM Geum-nim.

Your parents picked a fine name.

That's a noble name.

KIM Sungchil!

I still didn't get your apology. Buy me dinner, okay?

IM Geum-nim, the old lady next door.

IM Geum-nim, next door.

Damn thing!

Mr. Kim, are you home?

Mr. Kim?

Who's making this racket?!

Hello, Mr. Kim. I'm from the district office!

- What do you want? What? - Oh my!

We're visiting the homes of residents who are 65 and over.

Our district head is particularly interested in social welfare.

So you came to check if I'm dead or alive?

You know the veteran Choi who lives near here?

That old loony? Why?

- Last night... - Yeah?

Last night, he...

Goddammit!

What, did he have an affair?

I'm too busy for this!

The marines can even catch ghosts, Our brave marines...

The blood-boiling passion of youth,

who can stop it?

The blood-boiling passion of youth, Men of the sea...

My name is KIM Sungchil.

What the hell am I doing?

- Hi there! - Oh my god!

Something interesting over there?

No, nothing.

Something going on with that flower seller?

No, nothing!

Just curious.

Forget it! On your way.

It's illegal to post these damned flyers!

Those are our flyers...

He seems worked up.

KIM Sungchil!

Good morning!

Ah, yes.

You're on your way to work?

Yes.

Have a nice day.

Okay, yes.

Good morning!

Exchanged glances... what could they mean?

Who is...?

Yeah?

Were you sleeping?

It's me, IM Geum-nim!

You haven't forgotten about buying me dinner?

Don't forget.

Goodnight!

He's open. Center it! Center!

Now, the defender!

Hey, out of the way!

What are you doing?

Hey, you little brat!

Move over! Why are you being such a pain?

Jangsu, when are we going out to eat tripe?

Hey, it's almost over. As soon as the game's done.

- Now, can you move? - Okay, I'll move.

- What? - My Jangsu!

It's just the two of us here, are you so interested in soccer?

Hmm?

He stole it! You go in yourself!

Shoot it!

You shoot it! Go, go!

Shoot!

Oh, he missed.

Jangsu, how could you! You're stepping on my pride!

Mr. Kim, what brings you here?

Hey, go out for a sec.

Why?

You seem to have been in a hurry.

Huh?

But, an apology? That doesn't seem your style.

- Could it be that your feelings for her...? - I'm leaving.

Okay, okay!

You came to ask for help, right?

- Yeah. - Yes!

I'm a war veteran. If you spread rumors... you know?

Yes, I understand!

How would you like your meat?

Ah, cook it.

We certainly will. But say, "Medium, please."

- Medium, please. - Yes, that's good.

Medium...

Right.

Now, dinner is over.

Let's go.

Not yet! Not yet.

Dessert!

You must have dessert.

- Dessert... - Yes, dessert.

When ordering: 1) Medium 2) Dessert - Dessert... - Yes, dessert.

When ordering: 1) Medium 2) Dessert

Waiter!

Call the waiter.

- Waiter! - A bit softer.

- Waiter! - Waiter!

- Okay... waiter. - Waiter!

- Check, please. - Yes, sir.

That's right, speak gently.

Now he asks, “How would you like to pay?“

Huh?

How much?

Don't pay cash.

On a date, use this card.

Aren't I the best boss ever? Here.

So, the waiter goes.

If they ask, "Do you have a discount coupon?"

Look at me.

I don't need those.

Do you have a discount coupon?

That's right.

Women won't respect men who use coupons on a first date.

It's not a date!

- Stop saying that. - Yes, anyway.

Thank you!

So the check has arrived.

You sign for it right here.

And when you do, straighten your back!

Firmly, quickly, precisely, like a man!

In one stroke, yes!

Like that!

You'd be surprised at the effect that has on women.

You've got great handwriting.

That's why I insisted on a signature, not a seal.

Here you are.

Wow, who made this suit?!

Who made such a beautiful suit?

Design by KIM Chi-soo, remember.

Turn around.

Open up your arms slightly so you don't sweat.

No, just a little.

Sir, I think a short explanation is needed for this work.

It's a blend of French nostalgia,

Italian sensibility, and New York humor.

It was crafted...

with those elements in mind.

An illegal copy. A fake!

I had it made last year for my father's birthday gift.

You're the same size, so it fits you perfectly.

He never paid, so I kept it on layaway.

As a special favor to you...

wishing you a successful date...

- It's his friend's son's wedding! - Right, right.

I told him that. What's his problem?

Okay, the finishing touch of fashion is, shoes!

With some good shoes,

all the old women that day will be head over heels...

no, for your clothes!

All the women at the wedding!

At the wedding.

Anyway, all we need now is shoes, right?

I'll take care of that.

I hardly ever wear dress shoes, so they're like new.

I have shoes, too!

Oh, you're home?

- Hello. - Hello.

Hey, why are you home at this time?

Midterm exams! You didn't even know?

Do I have to know everything? What's with your temper?

If I ask,

'How was your test?' you'll say, 'The paper looked nice.'

Oh god.

What were you doing here?

The computer!

What?

Polar bears?

Don't you even care about the polar bears?

They're starving from global warming. You don't even donate.

My heart is breaking for them.

If you're gonna hang out, do it in here.

Don't go lock yourselves in your room.

Yes, sir.

What the hell are you talking about?

Looks like I got these just in time.

- Go on in. - Okay...

What's his damn problem?!

What are you doing?

Don't do that!

All right.

First, when you meet her, tell her she's pretty.

Women love to hear that.

Her eyes, her nose... or even her shoes.

Why do I have to say that? I'm buying dinner.

Good bye!

Bye!

Last time I said I'd buy dinner.

If you still want to, see you at 7. Neighbor KIM Sungchil.

I got a memo saying let's eat dinner.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Sorry, I'm late, aren't I?

14 minutes.

Oh, sorry...

I thought you were asking me how late.

Ah...

Let's go.

Okay.

Very pretty-

Really?

Your shoes.

Ah...

I reserved a table at a good restaurant.

Okay...

Did you choose?

Yes.

Ah, waiter!

Waiter...

Can I take your order?

I can't see without my glasses.

Just give me the Fish of the Day.

Yes, ma'am.

And you?

I'll have medium!

Excuse me?

Ah, one fish, and one steak?

Yes.

We ordered wine, but didn't toast.

Ah!

Oh!

You must have been thirsty.

Yes.

Have you lived in this neighborhood long?

Well...

pretty long.

And before that?

You from the census bureau?

It's like an arranged date.

Have you ever had an arranged date?

Why would I do that? Go through all that fuss.

It's all just baggage.

Isn't it?

Ah, dessert?

No, I'm full. I'm fine.

Do you happen to have a discount coupon?

Huh?

Thank you.

I really enjoyed today.

My debt's paid, anyway.

Yes.

Wait! Can I call you?

I'm not home very much.

I'll call when you're home, then.

Oh, I'm fine. How are you, Mom?

Yes, okay then. Bye...

A drink tonight? Sure!

Honey, I came to the supermarket.

What are we going to eat for dinner?

You've got one, too?

How can someone at a bank tell me to use a loan shark?

Are you kidding me?! Hello?

You hung up on me?

Oh, you scared me!

What is it?

This.

Hello?

Thank you, goodbye!

- Hello? - Mr. Kim, touch here to answer.

Hello, hello?

Ah, hello?

Yes, congratulations on your new phone.

As for me, I think the smart era has truly arrived.

To win a woman's heart, you must embrace the present era.

What woman's heart?

Use this chance to stop by and give her your number.

What do you take me for?

Come on, go ahead!

Exchanged glances...

This tea is good for your health,

and reduces fatigue.

Smells nice, right?

Oh, did you catch a cold?

Do I have a call?

Hello... hello?

It's a wrong number.

You bought a new phone?

Wow, it has a big screen, so I don't need glasses to read it.

I thought you don't use cellphones?

Oh, well...

Why'd you buy one?

Hm?

Answer me!

Oh... I think, the smart era has arrived.

So now I can call you on this phone.

What's your number?

Ah, yes...

He's a quick learner.

Duck!

You rotten scoundrels!

Hello, sir.

Have a good clay today. - KIM Sungchil.

- So it didn't end with dinner? - Are you jealous?

Oh a tect message! Have a goof day Sungchal!

Use your glasses.

Makes me look like a grandmother.

- "Watch out..." - Watch out?

No... "Don't catch a cold."

Don't catch...

Don't catch a cold

You too, dress wermtday Cheese!

You too, dress wermtclay

You too, dress wermtday Cheese!

Get a grip, Mom.

M-geum!

Oops... IM Geum-nim!

- Yes, that's me. - Yes.

You should address me fully.

What? Oh my!

IM Geum-nim-nim (Ms. IM Geum-nim)

You're new here?

Yes... I really like your name.

Dayoungfs Dad

You called me out to tell me that?

Well... I thought I should tell you in person.

It's common courtesy.

Courtesy?

Let's not bicker, okay?

We decided not to have children.

Why are you telling me that?

Common courtesy?

Forget it. Have a good life.

Okay, thanks.

Don't worry about Dayoung's expenses.

Of course.

That's right, be a man! Keep going straight in...!

Damn...

Mom, I'm going to pick up Dayoung.

Why'd he suddenly go to the food stand?

Come in!

Oh, I get it. Part of his strategy.

He's staying close to the target.

- Oh, the second attempt. - Second attempt?

His desire pulls him in like a moth to the flame...!

Dammit!

Shouldn't they be sleeping together by now?

Why do they go home separately?

Why doesn't she answer her phone?

Why are they so loud over there?

Drinking, every day.

They drank up everything in our restaurant.

There's nothing to sell anymore.

Hey, not having stock would be great!

My dry cleaning place has got clothes up to my neck,

I'm practically buried in them!

Hey polar bear, pick up when your Dad calls!

You're done with exams, right?

Listen.

How about taking a stroll with Minsung tomorrow?

When you're walking together,

don't go ahead or behind her.

Be sure to walk side by side.

Before eating, when you ask "What would you like to eat?"

"I like Korean food, or anything."

That means she wants Korean food.

Let's have Korean food then.

Okay...

When you're shopping, if she asks, "How does this look?"

She wants you to buy it for her.

How does this look?

Don't be stingy, snatch it up.

Yes, that's $20.

Women like men who have good taste.

I'll download some popular music apps for you.

Listen together on your earphones.

Continuous stimulation will promote adrenaline release,

causing your feelings for each other to deepen.

Oh, that's hot!

Mr. Kim!

Have you heard of a "bucket list?"

You do things the other person wants, one by one.

Resolutely. She'll definitely fall for you.

I feel nauseous.

Oh no...!

Sungchil!

On your way to work?

Yes.

Want to play hooky with me?

Why are you making me do this?

It's my first time, too.

I wanted to ride it, just once.

Look, I told you.

- Restroom... restroom. - Huh?

Did she die in there?

Are you there?

Yes.

I'm right here.

Don't move, stay right there.

I won't go anywhere.

I'll be right here.

Sungchil...

Would you sing a song for me?

Huh? A song?

I just... feel scared in here.

If you're scared, then come out.

I'm not finished yet.

Okay? Hurry. any song

Oh, I... I can't.

I won't do that.

Never mind.

Don't bother.

Why does she...?

Damn...

All by myself.

I want to know you.

All by myself.

I want to have you.

What if something really serious had happened?

Mom.

What worries me the most...

I know, you don't have to say it.

But.

At our age, everything might be the last time.

Sure enough, we all need a partner in life.

If the two of you decide to live together,

nothing beats an apartment.

Old houses are so much work, as you grow old, it's too hard.

If only the redevelopment happens, apartments will spring up here...

Forget it.

Yes, sir.

I just opened this, why are there so few?

So... where is the girl's mother?

We went to the hospital, but they said it was too late.

I had quit, but after losing her I started smoking again.

You saw my daughter?

She looks exactly like her mother.

But with a sick person at home,

I couldn't give her much attention.

Sometimes I'm shocked.

I come home and there's no kid, just a young woman!

At first I had some bad thoughts.

You know, calling it quits with life.

But my father always used to say,

children are like a heavy stone

that sits in a part of your chest.

Now I think I know what he meant.

Guess I'm all grown up.

Another shot?

Doraji... in the deep mountain...

Good evening.

Hi.

Please...

don't see my mother any more.

Don't ask the reason.

Just please accept my request.

But who is she to tell us to meet or not?

I enjoyed my stay.

I wish you could stay a day longer.

It's tough for you, isn't it?

No, I'm fine.

Take care of yourself.

You'll come to the reception?

Yes, of course.

- Have a good trip back. - Thanks.

Hello, sir.

Hi there! Mr. Kim, do you have a date today?

What damned date?

What's your name, anyway?

What?

JEGAL... JEGAL Chung-su.

Jagalchi fish? Hey, get out of my way!

Do I smell like fish?

I'm begging you, just tell him directly!

There's no time!

I'll get his seal. Wait just a bit longer.

The bank's going to take my supermarket!

Oh, I've got to go. I'll call later.

Sungchil!

If you're not busy, want to go out for dinner?

No way.

This time I'll treat you. Korean food.

There's a place I went that's really nice.

Only two bus stops from here, shall we walk?

Get some exercise?

Come with me, okay?

Let's walk separately.

That's strange, it should be here.

Did they move?

I'm sorry, I should have checked before coming.

Wait, let me call my daughter.

No, let's...

Let's just pick any place.

Are they growing the bean sprouts?

What's taking so long?

Why's it so hot?

Grandpa, it's a hot bowl, of course it's hot!

Look here!

Am I your grandpa?

And why don't you give me salt?

The salt's right there!

Good evening. Two, please.

Yes...

If someone greets you, shouldn't you answer?

Why did you ignore her?

I nodded my head at her.

Yes, he greeted me.

No wait, he definitely didn't greet her.

This jerk is claiming he did, when he didn't!

Shall we play back the CCTV?

Are you mocking me?!

It's fine.

He did greet me, and he's apologizing too.

Right? So go take a seat.

Young punk, wearing sunglasses at night.

I'm 70 years old!

My hair has been dyed black.

I can't drive if I'm insulted like this.

I won't!

We're not moving?

Apologize.

Apologize to me!

All right. Sorry.

I'm sorry!

Where does a lowly bus driver get such pride?

Goddamn you!

This jerk is driving me crazy!

Say that again.

You idiot, have you gone deaf?

I called you a lowly bus driver.

Hey, you lowly bus passenger! What the hell did you say?

Now you're hitting me?

Hey, this bus driver is hitting a passenger!

- Call the police! - That's right.

I'm gonna hit a passenger! Here comes a flip!

Hey, you want to taste the martial art skills of a marine?

Show me those martial art skills! I'll rip your balls out!

Stop this! What are you two doing?

Open the door.

I can't bear to watch this idiocy.

I said, open the door!

Be thankful to still have your privates!

You ugly bastard!

You saw that I won, right?

What is wrong with you?

What?

Why are you acting so badly?

What did I do?

What's with you?

Why are you so mean to everyone?

Is it so annoying and distasteful to have dinner with me?

Yeah, it's annoying! Very annoying!

Who wants to date someone at this age?

I've lived in my own way.

Why'd you show up and make me all confused?

Well, I'm sorry.

For making you annoyed and confused.

Well, you can go on living your own way alone.

Just live that way to the end.

Right to the end!

Sure, I'll just live alone!

What are you looking at? What's wrong with living alone?

Why can't that woman be a little nicer?

Where are your eyes?!

Aren't you the boss's daughter?

Hey- Stop crying!

I've been dumped.

Minsung is going to America.

That skinny kid?

He's a jerk.

Does he think I'm here because I can't go abroad?

Mr. Kim!

It's okay, you can go study abroad too.

Hey, skinny!

Get back here!

It's okay, it's okay.

Try the grapes.

- Let's get these. - Ah...

They're good.

Produce coming through!

Oh. my-

Can't stand to watch them.

Hey, Mr. Kim! You won't believe this!

What's with you?

This is you, right? It is! I can't believe it!

It's the no.1 most popular search for today!

No.1! "Bus Brawl!" The flower lady's in it, too.

Mr. Kim!

Now you're the neighborhood's home-grown star, totally!

That young punk was being rude to Geum-nim.

So I stood up for her.

Hey, Jagalchi.

JEGAL Chung-soc!

What do you think of me? Am I that mean?

Mr. Kim!

You're this style.

Women, you know what they like?

Men who smile.

Try it once, after me.

From deep inside you, think of the Flower Lady.

Give me a bright smile!

No, the smile ruins it.

- Not just your mouth. - Mr. Kim.

The green grapes are delicious today.

So what?

Didn't you know the Flower Lady loves grapes?

- Eat them together. - Why should I?

Forget it.

I'll bring them to her.

Well, it can't be helped. These really are sweet!

They sure are! Are they organic?

Hey. wait!

For you.

A present?

Delivery from the boss.

I've delivered them, so...

Bye then.

I wan't acting that way out of bad intentions.

I admit that I've got a mean temper.

But it's not that, I'm just lacking that way.

I don't smile enough, so you misunderstand.

Yes, it's not like I did everything right that day either.

Then I'll take it as an apology.

So will you try again with me? Then I'll forgive you.

Slowly.

Back straight.

Look straight ahead.

With confidence.

So the 'yes' is up to here now, don't worry!

I knew you that you'd come through!

- Wow. - Hot women really do the trick!

Hey, so let's not lose focus,

- and go in for the kill. - Let's do it!

Mr KIM loves Chinese seafood.

Let's put my skills to the test.

Today the meal fee is zero, with unlimited refills!

Mr. Kim, the best Chinese seafood in Northern Seoul.

I'm so moved by JK Construction's generosity.

No meal fee!

- JK really knows how to bribe a... - Hey!

When that last remaining person

takes out his seal and goes, stamp!

Our outdated neighborhood will be streaming in light!

Sunrise, sunset!

It's great for us. The shop will be worth more.

Our kids will grow taller and live well.

And the elderly will get more welfare benefits.

Thanks to that I'll be reunited with my family.

I'm gonna eat myself to death today.

The leftovers can go in here!

Hey Polar Bear, don't pick at your food.

Eat up!

- Here, eat this. - Eat.

And you, just one helping. Let's go eat tripe after!

There's so much food here, why eat tripe?

I'm leaving.

A-young, you dropped this.

- What? - She dropped that?

It's not mine.

No this is yours for sure, menthol.

You took menthol from your Dad's office, and this is menthol.

Is it peppermint flavor?

You've been smoking!?

No!

What do you mean, no? Mine keep disappearing!

Now you're stealing by the pack?

- Jangsu, she's just curious. - She'll end up smoking anyway!

A-young smokes menthol, too!

What about you?

Why do you keep hitting on my dad?

Be discreet, will you? He's got a daughter.

How dare you talk back!

- You come here! - Jangsu!

- They're not mine! - Hurry and go.

Give it.

Those are mine, give it.

You don't smoke, Mr. Kim. Get over here, you!

Stop it!

Wait till you get home!

Actually, my grandfather is sick with lung cancer.

When she heard that, she said,

"I've only got my father left."

"What if he gets cancer from these cigarettes?"

Damn!

Donation box

Supermarket girl!

Why go after her?

Wait till I get my hands on her.

I'm gonna lock her up for a month!

Don't be so hard on her.

Or you know what will happen?

She'll turn out like me.

Wait here. I'll drive round the block.

I'll come, too!

You go the other way.

Go back inside!

Jangsu!

_ Loyalty! _ Loyalty!

I'm hungry!

Hey! Buy us pig's feet!

Treat us!

Make a donation, okay? Where's the cash?

I don't have... cash.

Don't have... cash?

Hey.

- What's that? - What the hell?

Hey lady.

We didn't order anything, so beat it.

Her timing is awesome.

What kind of group are you, Sistar?

Are they coming to fight four-on-four?

Who's Hyolyn?

Rm Hyolyn.

It's like an ugly girl showcase here.

Showcase? What a bitch!

Don't stop me today, okay?

I'm smacking up an adult today.

Are you from Majin Commercial High?

You are, aren't you?

Now called Changsin Information High School.

You've dolled up your uniforms so I couldn't recognize you.

- Hey, grandma. - What?

You think we care if you're from the same school?

Hey!

Let's finish her with one blow.

What are you doing?

I'm going to die today saving A-young.

I can't fight through these tears!

Wow, what a cute boyfriend.

Cute.

I'll be nice to you. Come on!

She's foaming at the mouth?

You attacked her goddamned pressure points?

Thank you!

Hey!

A little thing like you, wearing fake eyelashes?

Oh, that hurts!

A-young!

Ouch!

- We're taking your pictures. - You little babies.

Do this again and I'll come to your homes, understand?

Yes.

Louder!

Yes!

Thank you.

A-young, anyone here you want to smack?

- Just pick one, huh? - So embarrassing.

A-young!

A-young!

- We love you! - Bye, A-young!

If anyone bothers you, call us!

Yes?

Hello, Geum-nim?

Hello?

Good afternoon, this is the glasses shop.

Oh, you have the wrong number.

Good bye.

Ah wait! Is this Mr. KIM Sungchil?

That's right.

Four days ago you ordered glasses,

and said you'd be back the next day.

Do you remember?

No, I won't sell it.

You won't listen to reason!

There's no other source of money!

This is to save me only?

Min-jung is alone now,

so we need to think about her future.

You know that's why I started this.

Why are you being so stubborn?

I've already discussed it with them!

Sungchil, are you there? Sungchil!

Ah, you're home. Have you eaten?

What, is something wrong?

Ah, no.

The cod in the market was so fresh and big, I bought it.

I'll cook it up with some radish.

You don't know how well I can cook, do you?

Do you like your home?

Why do you ask?

You know, living by yourself, in an old home.

It's a lot of work.

When you get old, being comfortable is the best.

Hm.

On the way back home,

I was given a pamphlet about the redevelopment.

I left it on the table, take a look when you have time.

If JK Construction builds it, Suyu District will change.

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!

Hey, Mr. Kim! Why are you here?

I'm working!

No sign of the boss today.

Ah, you can't stay here.

Hurry up and come to the buffet!

What in cripes are you talking about?

You forgot again!

You don't know what day it is, do you?

What day?

Ms IM Geum-nim's 10th (-1) Birthday

How can your daughter be such an idiot?

Don't think that I want you to age a year faster.

Okay, we'll consider it your early birthday party.

Hello!

- Oh! - Wow, congratulations!

Thanks for coming.

It's for good luck, a... fincher?

- Finch. - Finch, finch.

- Thank you. - Our pleasure.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, Ms IM.

Thank you.

Hello.

- Thank you for coming. - Congratulations.

A big congratulations to you.

I brought him from the supermarket.

Congratulations.

Oh, the buffet! I'm late!

Ah, thank you.

Go have a seat.

That's okay.

What's with you?

You should have told me.

I just thought you might feel uncomfortable.

Hide and seek!

Do you see me?

I've congratulated you, now I'll go.

No, don't go.

You came all the way here, have something to eat.

You can sit over there.

Come.

Eat up.

What's that? Where'd you get it?

Over there.

- Is she heavy? - No.

Don't just pick at your food.

I'm eating.

Eat your fill.

Is there still room in your stomach?

Try and catch me!

Wait!

This tastes great!

Water, water!

Thank you, goodbye!

- There are a lot of gifts, right? - Indeed.

- I'll go say goodbye to everyone. - Okay.

Look here!

How much do you want?

What do you mean?

How much are you trying to get from her?

I've no idea what you're saying.

You leave your wife,

and then shamelessly hit her up for money?

- How much do you need? - Why are you doing this?

- I'll give it to you, okay? - Let go of me!

- How much? - But...

- How much do you need? - Somebody help!

Tell me! Tell me!

- Mr. Kim! - How can he be so strong?

Uncle!

Sungchil!

Wait...

What are you doing here? I was so worried.

I don't know, either...

I know, everything's fine now. I'm here now.

I thought he was trying to get money from you.

Yes, I know.

There's... a sick person at home.

It's because of the hospital fees.

So...

That man isn't my husband, he's my husband's brother.

Brother-in-law.

So we've cleared up the misunderstanding?

I'm such an idiot.

No no, it's fine.

O Kay?

Come on, let's go.

So you were jealous? You were, right?

Of course not.

If you felt jealous because of me,

that means you like me?

Oh, it's raining.

Oh my!

Is this my birthday present?

How do they look?

Thanks so much. I'll use them often.

Today... you were very pretty in that hanbok.

My first time wearing it since my daughter's wedding...

Oh, my!

Reflorescence.

Look at this!

Have you heard of reflorescence?

It's when a spring flower blooms again in the fall.

It survives without dying, and blooms one last time.

Reflorescence...

You took out new plates?

Yes, well...

What should I do? ls the rice ready?

I told you, just sit down and rest!

It's my turn today.

Sol really don't have to do anything?

You've been through too much today.

Watch TV, okay?

Or just sit and stretch out your legs.

Come on, go in there.

My name is KIM Sungchil.

If you find me, use the money in this account for my funeral.

PIN number: 4491.

Geum-nim!

Geum-nim!

No, it's not like that.

I just wrote it for no special reason.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

I didn't know.

I didn't know it was so lonely and hard for you.

No, it's not like that at all. Okay?

I'm sorry.

Look at the lens. That's good.

Okay bride and groom, look affectionate.

Move in closer. I'll shoot it on 3.

It's been ages since I've been here.

What, have you been here before?

No, I... have I?

We have gathered in God's church with our hearts as one.

We are together with these two people

at their most precious moment.

God, please give your benevolent blessing

to these two who are about to marry.

We humbly ask God the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ,

to let these two become one.

Let us pray.

Please hear our prayers, let this bride and groom...

What did you pray for so fervently back there?

It's a secret between me and the Virgin Mary.

You know...

It's a really strange feeling.

I went into the cathedral,

and it was like I'd been there before,

or perhaps seen it in a dream...

Gosh.

So, your husband is...?

My husband...

When I think of him, I feel so sad.

Sungchil, don't you feel happy now?

No? Is it just me?

I just wish that for as long as we're alive,

we could feel this happy.

Think good thoughts,

and say only good things.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two...

Geum-nim, 1 pm. The park.

Sungchil!

Sungchil!

Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot.

It's my fault for forgetting my phone at home.

I thought of going to the road,

but worried we might take different paths.

It's fine, things can slip your mind.

Sometimes it's not just a mind slip...

Sometimes I can't remember a thing.

I shouldn't forget meetings with you.

It's the same with me.

When you reach our age it's the same for everyone.

I don't think it's just that...

If you're worried, want to visit the hospital?

Um, hospitals and me don't...

What are you so scared of? Like a kid.

I'll just do a few more tests.

Is that okay?

I think he's a bit nervous.

They're simple tests, so no need to worry.

Ah, yes...

My test results are coming out today, so...

Ah, I see.

You scared me!

What's with you?

Life is so hard.

What's so hard for a young man like you?

You know,

it's harder for the young.

There are so many days left to live.

I wish I had so many days.

But Mr. Kim, you must be happy now.

Dating, at your age!

Hey!

Where do you get that strength?

What's gotten into you?

Are you dating because you're strong?

Oh, a real man!

Sure enough, men need strength.

Hello?

Hello, is this KIM Sungchil?

This is the hospital.

Your results are in.

Everything looks normal.

As I said, it's just a light dementia that people get in old age.

Yes, I understand.

Still, if you sense anything strange, come right in just in case.

Yes, yes! Thank you!

Huh? Looks like you got some good news!

It's the first time I've seen a real smile on you.

This is how you should smile. With your eyes and nose!

Well, that should put him at ease.

Yes, thank you.

Oh, right.

We're learning to waltz.

It's exercise, and it helps me.

And the medicine?

Yes, sure.

I'm talking about you.

Me? I'm fine.

Waltz Class Completion Ceremony

KIM Sungchil! KIM Sungchil!

KIM Sungchil! IM Geum-nim!

Look at each other, you're dancing together.

Great job! You're doing well.

He can't refuse now, can he?

- He's about to be pinned. - That's right!

Everyone thinks it's a done deal now!

Even if it takes some time, let's wait.

I think we'll regret this later.

Dammit, do you want to see me dead?

Hello?

I can't believe it...

Just trust me and start the construction.

I'll take responsibility.

I'll fix things with this.

Are you serious?

Sometimes you need to become a beast.

KIM Min-jung Why does he keep all this?

KIM Sungchil Gangbuk Middle School

Today was the last clay of winter training...

For the first time in a game, I was named captain...

Hello?

Yes, it's me.

I'm in a taxi, looking at photos of the flower festival.

Flower festival?

It starts in two days, will you go with me?

Oh, sure.

That's in two days, on Saturday.

Let's go on Saturday.

In two days, Saturday.

This time I'll mark it clearly in my calendar.

Sorry, my daughter's calling... Bye!

Ah...

Ma'am, are you okay?

Ma'am!

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

If it's not in the refrigerator, do I dig up the yard?

What are you doing, boss?

My Seal!

This is all for your own good.

No! No, you can't!

- Out of the way! - Give it to me!

Give it to me!

I'll bring it right back!

I'll pay you back for it! I'll bring it back!

You can't do this to me!

You can't take my house!

Let go of me!

There are probably ghosts in this old house!

How much longer will I live?

Just let me stay here until I die!

When I die, get rid of me and this house!

Dammit!

Don't you understand what's going on?

Everyone in this district is dying because of you!

Boss! Boss!

Hello, who is it?

Yeah.

What?

Where did you say?

Okay.

Closed today

Sorry, I'm going somewhere for a while. I won't be able to call. - IM Geum-nim

KIM Sungchil

Hey, Mr KIM!

What are you doing here?

You should have a date on your day off.

Where's the Flower Lady?

Who are you?

What?

My name is pretty hard. Not JE Gal-chung-su,

but JEGAL Chung-soc. I'm Korean, not Chinese.

Jagalchi?

Right, Jagalchi.

You know, I'm on an errand for the boss.

Vacation for 3 days, starting from Saturday, today.

You didn't hear?

Saturday?

From today, yes.

But you know, we might have a long vacation.

They say the redevelopment is starting.

If it does, we all become separated families.

Did you see Mr KIM?

Did you see him?

Sir, where are you going to?

Ah, the Flower Festival.

It's that way.

Where did he go, at a time like this...?

Flower Festival (Incheon)

Oh, why did he go off there?

Chrysanthemum Festival

Please turn up, please...

What are you doing here?

Boss, what are you doing here?

Come with me.

You've come so far.

Let's go.

Okay.

Mr KIM, I apologize.

I didn't use your seal.

Just slap me for being such a bad person.

We promised.

After two days, we were going to meet there.

Where could she be?

We promised.

I'm worried.

I'm very worried.

Do you want to see her?

Do you know where she is?

Whatever.

Hold on tight.

This way.

What's going on?

What do you think?

Sit down here for a sec.

Is she here?

Jangsu!

Don't give me that. I'm doing what we should.

This is the right thing.

Are you going to tell him after Mom dies?

Where is she?

Grandpa!

I got you! Now you're gonna be "it."

I'll hide, and you try to find me.

Da-young!

You startled him.

No more hide and seek today.

No! I won't do anymore. I won't play anymore.

Let me explain to you, the way things are.

First, sit down.

Mom is very sick.

She's been sick all this time.

What are you talking about?

She's been sick all along,

but now she's... a bit sicker.

Stop it!

Dad, look at me! Look!

Dad, I'm Min-jung.

Your daughter, KIM Min-jung.

And this is KIM Jang-su.

Not your boss, but your son.

Do you really not remember anything?

Dad, please!

Dad, can't you at least remember Mom?

At the least...

you should remember Mom!

Please, Dad!

Mind-Ling"-

This way.

Oh my god, are you okay?

Doctor!

Grandpa!

Are you awake?

Do you feel okay?

Sit down.

Okay.

This is our family album.

Do you remember?

Jangsu's Store

Jangsu, Mom, hurry up!

Honey!

Mom!

Okay...

Everyone look here. Okay...

Okay, let's smile!

This is your diary.

IM Geum-nim Wife KIM Jangsu Son

Today is December 10, 2013.

I've contracted Alzheimer's in my frontal lobe,

commonly known as dementia.

Every clay I forget something.

So there may come a time when I forget everything.

Today is January 5, 2014.

I got lost on the street I've lived all my life.

- Oh, how did you get this spot! - Before it's too late,

I got my wife the flower shop

- she always wanted. - I love it!

So that she might be happy without me.

My wife has late stage pancreatic cancer.

Will I be able to remember that she's sick?

I'm scared that I could forget her completely.

I'm scared, honey.

What if I go in there alone, and don't come back?

If you die, I'll die right after you.

So be sure to come out alive.

Yes, I will.

But sing a song for me.

Sing in a strong voice.

Okay.

All by myself.

I want to know you.

All by myself.

I want to have you.

All by myself.

I will love you...

Forever... forever...

I want to live happily.

I had a long conversation with a houseguest,

but now I realize,

it was my son.

I've started to forget my children.

I've become baggage.

We'll take care of it ourselves.

Listen to me, and send him to a nursing home.

He insists on going himself!

He has his children, why should he go there?

Then what about your mother?

You want there to be a double funeral?

Okay Uncle, we understand you.

We'll figure out some solution.

Just wait a bit.

I'll look after him. You stop crying.

He can probably hear us.

Jangsu! Over here!

- Somethings wrong with Dad. - Why?

He won't answer.

- He's inside? - Yes.

Dad, it's Jangsu.

Oh no!

Dad, I'm here! Dad!

Your mother's illness was a big shock to him.

Your father believes that he's living alone.

He probably won't remember his family.

It's a kind of delusion.

It's unusual in Alzheimer's.

But it's to avoid feeling like baggage to his family.

A defense mechanism, you might say.

Although it's best not to change his environment,

he may become suspicious, stubborn or cruel.

From 8 am to 6pm, I'll be in charge at the mart.

A-young!

When he gets off work, you follow him home.

Min-jung, you take care of cleaning, dishes, and laundry.

Da-young, what did I tell you?

Hide and seek!

I'll cook his rice. He said mine was the best.

If you're going to care for him at home,

he mustn't know that he has Alzheimer's.

I feel so sorry for Mom.

What will I do if she dies?

I read his diary.

He used to play soccer.

Circling the country,

with little to eat and nothing but hardship.

I never knew, and always blamed him for not letting me play.

Do you remember?

When you were a student,

he bound your diaries together like a book.

I found it in his house.

You know why he kept it?

Because his daughter was going to do great things.

Become famous, and then he'd give you that.

Dad said that?

Yeah.

And this father,

he saw my wife die, and you get divorced.

A nail in his heart.

Whenever anything bad happened,

he always blamed himself, and said sorry.

Oh. my-

Dad!

I stopped by the flower festival,

and those delicate things resembled you a lot.

Like your sisters.

But if you had arrived,

they would have all withered away.

You're my daughter.

You are, right?

Even now, I can't remember you.

I wish I could.

I try so stubbornly to remember you, but I can't.

What should I do?

Dad...

What should I do about this mess?

I'm sorry.

Min-jung, I'm sorry.

No, Dad...

No.

It's okay, Dad.

Jangsu!

Yes, father.

You used to say.

Children are like

a heavy stone that sits in a part of your chest.

So Dad, you don't have to remember us.

We'll remain stubbornly in your heart.

Don't worry about it.

Kids, let me request one thing.

For me, and for her,

there's really not much time left.

From this point on,

let me spend time with the woman I remember.

Yes, father, we will.

Take your grandfather's hand.

Dad!

IM Geum-nim, KIM Sungchil

All this time we've been patient,

pushing for the redevelopment of District 1.

But ultimately, because of one person's refusal,

we will pitch a redevelopment contract to District 2.

Let's go.

Good bye!

I thought I might have a son thanks to redevelopment.

I thought we were celebrating too early.

Hello, I reserved a ticket for the Philippines?

Please cancel it.

Cancel KIM Chi-sods ticket!

If you cancel, there's a penalty.

- Quit smoking! - What?

It's your daughter's wish.

Here.

Don't take it!

I'll eat my hat if that's a seal.

- His seal! His seal! - Ms PARK!

Yes?

What's your full name?

PARK In-soon, sir!

'In' meaning virtue, 'Soon' meaning kindness!

Yes!

- Boss. - Yes?

People need a partner.

Well...

Be good to her, or else!

Ah, yes, sir!

Wait, we don't have time for this.

- Oh, you're right! - Thank you, sir!

Wait, team manager!

You look like a newlywed today.

If you feel the slightest bit strange,

call immediately.

Call me first, okay?

All right.

Give me your hand.

Promise me before opening it.

Let's not cry when the first one of us dies.

After all, it will just be a short separation.

All right, Geum-nim?

Grandfather 8. Grandmother

Did you sleep well?

Hello.

Yes, hello.

Do you live here?

Yes.

Then let's introduce ourselves. Since we're neighbors.

My name is... my name...

My name is...

my name...

I'm...

Miss!

My name is KIM Sungchil!

I'm KIM Sungchil.

'Sung' meaning star, 'chil' meaning seven.

What's your name?

It's Geum-nim. Geum-nim.

IM Geum-nim.

Ah, IM Geum-nim.

It's terrible.

How could my father do that!

Your father gave you a very noble name.

You won't forget my name?

IM Geum-nim!

I'll never forget.

IM Geum-nim!

I'll never forget.

Me too... 'Sung' meaning star, 'chil' meaning seven.
