Young-ja

Yes

Do you know what my dream job was as a kid?

What was it?

A sea captain.

A captain who controls huge ships like those.

Is that so?
But why haven't you told me that before?

I never knew that.

It's no use telling you.

I think I've told you once.

(The real meaning of 국제시장 is "The International Market")

Oh, lord.
As you get old,

you need to know how to take care of yourself.

I made you some soup,
take the medicine with the soup.

Why don't you just stay home.

Our sons and daughters are coming over.

What is it?
Oh, you guys are here.
My puppies.

Oh, my...pup...

-Slow down guys.
-Where are you going dad?

Hey, dad.

Mom, are you ok?

-Oh, I'm fine.
-Dad, you should take good care of her.

You gotta take her to the hospital.
Medicine like this wouldn't work.

come on dad.

Where are you guys going this time?

Brother-in-law Kim's friend invited us from Thailand.

-Thailand?
-Yes, we're really sorry.
It'll be nice if we take you with us.

I think so too.

-Seo-hyun, you need to behave yourself
when you're with grandpa and grandma.
-Mom, please take care of them.

-This is for the memorial service.
-Don't worry, have fun.

Let's go guys.

I'm really sorry that we go without you.

Then don't go.

-See you on the grandma's memorial day.
-OK, have fun since it's a family trip in a long time.

-I'll see you later.
-BYE~~~

Family my ass.

-Aren't we family, too?
-Oh, come on.

What?

Get the hell out.

Go away

-Father(sir), no violence.
-Father? Why am I your father?

-It's not like what you think. Just seal the deal when we give you the best deal.
-Seal the deal? I'll seal the hell out of your forehead.

Over my dead body will you get this store.

You don't get me.

No matter what you do, it won't change anything.
Laws have changed. I only need 80% of consent from people.

We don't need you to seal the deal.
You got no choice.

Get the hell out, you pricks.

I'll see you tomorrow, sir.

He's too stubborn.

Hey, hey.

-You can't park here,
get it out of the way.
-Just for 5 minutes, sir.

You own this place?

You don't think you've gone too far?
I need to fill the stock.

-What'd you say?
-Why so selfish?

You are the one who causes the problem here.
Now you block me from running my business?

You want us to starve to death?

Come on, unload those.

What are you looking at?

Grandpa~
Don't get angry.
I get scared when you get angry.

Alright.

Grandpa, I saw this word on the book.

What's a memory?

A memory?

Let me put it this way.

Things you saw in the past come to your mind.

-They don't go away even after a long time.
-What about hatred?

Let's go.

Grandpa,
don't get angry.

I get scared when you get angry.

- You've been grumpy since you were a kid?
-Nope.

What were you like as a child?

As a child?

You OK? Seo-hyun?

I told you not to fool around.

December, 1950.
Hungnam, South Ham-Kyung Province.

Mak-soon, keep this in mind.

THIS IS NOT A PLAYGROUND.
WE ARE NOT GOING OUT TO PLAY.

-Don't you ever let go of your brother's hand. GOT IT?
-Yes.

-Duk-soo.
-Mak-soon.

Hold her tight.

You follow me closely, got it?

-Yes, sir.
-OK, let's go.

What is it?

What do we do now?

Did Chinese army get here already?

Chinese army have reached Heung-Nam.

-What do we do now?
-Let's move

We must focus.
Get down Mak-soon.

Alright, hurry up.

Duk-soo,
don't you let go of her hand.

What do we do now?
What if we miss the boat?

Cut it out,
just follow my lead.

Duk-soo, hold her tight.

Run faster.

My daughter

MOM!!

-MOM!
-Mak-soon!! FATHER, FATHER!

FATHER!

DUK-SOO!!

DUK-SOO!

I told you to hold her tight.

Get up, Mak-soon.

We must stay focused.
Get up and let's go.

Hurry

Is everyone here?

My children,
Seung-gyu, Mak-soon.

-Hon, here.
-I'm OK. Stay there.

Duk-soo,
climb up towards here.

Mak-soon, stay focused.

This is not a playground.
We are not going out to play.

Don't you let go of me.

Mak-soon..

MAK-SOON

MAK-SOON

Take him.

-Duk-soo!
-Mak-soon!!

-What happened?
-I lost her.

-What?
-I'll go down and get her.

-You go to your mom.
I'll find her.
-Father, no. I'll go with you.

Always remember this.

If I'm not there,
you are the only one who can replace me.

No matter what, you think of the family first.
Got it?

From now on, you take care of the family
on behalf of me.

OK?

FATHER

FATHER

Honey

MAK-SOON

Where are you?

MAK-SOON

Honey

MAK-SOON

FATHER

Is it leaving now?

FATHER

honey

FATHER

I'll follow you,
go there first.

Don't worry about me.
Get there first.

Excuse me,
I'm looking for a woman named 'KKotbun'.

She's from Ham-heung.

Excuse me,
do you know a woman named 'Yoon KKotbun'.
She's from Ham-heung.

Hello~

We got military supplies.

We have C-rations.

Hello~

Are you out of your mind?

You freaking day drink?

Even dogs have their purpose of life.

You were born to drink?

What the hell did you say?

OK, kill me.

-You skinny bastard.
-Hey aunt KKot-bun.

How could you leave him there?

Just you guys.

Do you even care if he's still alive or not?

Stay here for a while
even if it's a bit small.

-Thank you, thank you.
-No problem.

It's already too small for us.

Be quite.
They can hear us.

-My house

-My house is a flower house.

-What's 6 + 4?
-10

10, is it correct?

Yes, sir.

OK, 3 + 2 is?

Yo, what is that?

Sister

-Where are you from anyway?
-Heung-Nam.

Heung-Nam?
Where is that?

It's up there, north.

NORTH?
Are you a commie?

Not everyone from the North is a commie.

Well, your temper tells me that you're a commie.

I told you I'm not a commie.

Hey, you get over here.

What does the commie have to do with this mathematics class?

Get over here right now!

-Let it go or I'll kick your ass.
-No way.

Newspapers~
Newspapers~

Gosh, what a shame.

What are those bums doing?

That's why this country is going through poverty.

Hey, you're from the north?

I'm from the north, too.

Tongchon, Gang-won province.

What do you want to be?

A captin.

A captain?

I want to make ships.

Gigantic ships.

How could country like this make those?

First, you save a lot of money and buy land.

And then,
look for countries that need the ships.

You show them pictures of those land.

Tell them we will build your ships here.

And tell them to buy those.

Does that make sense to you?

Mr. Chung (the founder of all Hyundai Groups)

No such thing as failure.
Only

Hyundai Engineering & Construction

I think he's out of his mind.

Tell me about it.

Why don't you say you'd build Korean cars.

Some people lose their mind in time like this.

Chocolate give me

Chocolate give me

Chocolate give me

Get him

Hurry

Run, Dal-goo.

Out of the way.

Hey

-Hey! Stop right there!
-Out of the way!

I'm Seung-man Lee (The president)

A truce doesn't mean less fights.

Where are you?
Come out!

-I've been against the truce.
-What is a truce?

I think it means we stop fighting.

Does that mean we can go back home?

I don't think so.

What do you mean?
Does truce mean the war is over?

Well, we stop fighting.

But that doesn't mean the war is over.

Well, it must end..
War is horrible..

You don't know what you're talking about?

What does truce mean?

-Can we go back home?
-Where are you from?

Heung-nam, Ham-kyung province.

You can't go.

-How come? They say the war is over?
-It's not over. It's a truce.

Because we have no power,

they came and fight in our land at will.
Tear us apart.

Sons of bitches

Come here, you little rats.

Let me go.

Spit it out.

kick them

July, 27th 1953. The Armistice Agreement signed.
"We'll not forget you. We won't ignore you"

What's up with your face, huh?

Do you know how hard I try to get you to school?

You fool around and have fights? huh?

I didn't fight, I fell down.

You even lie to me now?

Mom

Yes.

Don't you hate me so much?

Why?

How come you never mention about Mak-soon?

Duk-soo, let me put it this way.
let's say our house is on fire.

If you were the only one inside the house

What would you want me to do?

Well, you would save me.

No, who would take care of your siblings
if I got killed from saving you?

My heart breaks into pieces
whenever I think of Mak-soon.

Bur I need to take care all of you.

Right?
Because I am a mother.

That's what mothers do.

Because of me, my father also...

No, it's not your fault.

Never mind. Just study hard.

OK?
Until your father gets here.

Because you're the head of this family.
Got it?

Those pricks.

Look at my face.1

Gosh, did you see them kicking me in the face yesterday?

I can easily kick their asses

Shut your mouth

ok..

Since the war is over,

you're going back home?

I think so

That's too bad.
We just became friends.

Well, I'm not your friend.

I don't think I'll see you ever again.

That's what YOU think.
That's not what I think.

You stupid, what did you do to her wrist?

You almost hurt her.

It's time for you to stop now.

You only got few years to live.
Don't be so stubborn.
Just sell you store and have some money.

What the hell did you say?

Look at my building.
I sold mine years ago.

This is called 'a multiplex building'.

A wretch like you, know nothing.

Watch your mouth

Look at you.
You old wretch.

Alrighty.

-Coffee? Give me a break.
-That's why they are so poor.

Hey, I heard you.

-Heard me? We said nothing.
-I heard what you said.

This wasn't for free.

I paid with my money.
You got a problem with that?

Hey, they use the local accent.

Of course.
Busan people use the Busan accent.
Not the Seoul accent.

You're not from Busan.
Blacky.

If you live in Busan, then you're Busan people.

If you live in Korea, then you're Korean.

What the hell are you talking about?
You lunatic.

This is not your country.

Let go. You pricks.
They are minding their own business.
Leave them alone.

Hey, grandpa.
They don't get to drink coffee.

They are so poor.
They had to come here and work.

WHY?
Why you don't get to drink coffee when you work abroad?

It's OK, Seo-Hyun.

In my opinion, your grandpa lost his mind.

Soon, he's going to paint the wall.
With his poop.

Let me go!

You can't take the courses without paying.

I warned you before.
If I ever see you again, you're dead.

-You don't have to throw my books.
-You little

You poor wretch.
This is why this country can't improve.

Hey, you look so

How's your study going?

Study my ass.
Out of the way.

You poor wretch.

What? Is there a problem?

I need money to go to school.

Aren't you making money here?

I got nothing.

What are you talking about?

Mom's getting old. She's having a hard time working.
My brother, he's damn smart. That jackass.

Being smart makes you a jackass?

He just got accepted to Seoul National University.

Seoul national university? (#1 univ. in Korea)

That bastard, he's not a human.

He needs the tuition fee.

Wish money falls from the sky.

You know,
it's not the sky, but somewhere else.

What do you mean?

Miners needed to work in Germany.
Miners?

One squid please.

Are you crazy?

My family is here.
I don't even know where West Germany is.
Miners you say?
You've never even used shovels before.

Duk-soo.
Life is all about timing.

You know what I'm saying?
Let's just do it for 3 years.

I won't.
I'm not going.

-I have my test coming.
-You still got time once you come back.

Who's gonna make money other than you in your family?

Your little brother needs the tuition fee.

Fish pallets?

Make millions of those
and see if you can get the tuition fee.

No need to think about it.
There's the answer.

No.
You earned it.

-Anyone cannot become a miner.
-Mom.

She's right.
You think it makes sense?

-You've never gotten your hands dirty.
All you've done for your whole life was studying.
How are you going to mine those coals.
Dogs on the street would laugh at you.
-Be quiet.1

I have things to say, too.

Anyway, don't you worry about the money.

-You brother is working so hard.
-Mom, do you know what people say about him?

He met the wrong family,

so he can't go to school

and he works like a dog 24/7

Do you think I feel OK to take his money?

Gosh

You shut your mouth.
You little.

Hey, brother.

-You study hard at the university.
-Are you drunk again?

-Oh come on.

Life is all about timing.
Everything has its time.
You know what I mean?
How dare you talk to your mother like that.

Mother, I'll go to bed.

Get a grip.

You want some, too?

OK,OK.

Aright, we're going to test your physical condition for miners position.
You see those bags of rice?
You only need to lift it above your head.

Is it clear?

OK, start from number 1.

Fail, next.

Fail, why people so weak today?

Next

No help, no help.

Lift it

-Fail.
-It didn't touch the ground.
-That's the same. Fail. Next.

Pass.

One, two, three.

Perfect.

You're a strong man.

Who gives the physical test with bags of rice these days?

Why do you want to go to Germany so bad?

You have money.

Going after my dream.

Bullshit, what's your dream?

White girls.
The body that asian girls can't have.

The open-mindedness that Korean girls can't even imagine.

You can't find those in this country.

-You'll like it, too.
-Please, come in.

Mr. Dal-goo, you have a below average strength.

-Well, I usually work out my legs.
-Mr. Duk-soo,
you're fine with the writing test and stuff but

You got no mine experience.

-I got discharged from military engineering.
I did a lot of digging.
-Military engineering?

Well, that doesn't satisfy at all.

Sir, I really want to go to West Germany.

Korean national anthem.

Long live Korea.

PASS.
Extremely patriotic.

Hey, wake up.

DUK-SOO!

What's going on?

Stop the machine!

You OK?

Let me take a look.

Oh shoot.

Let go of me.

So you're a nurse.

Heard it's very tough.

Tougher for miners

No, it's nothing.

When did you come to Germany?

Germany?
Got here last December, so....

It's been about 2 years.

Meeting a Korean gives me a craving for Korean food.

I didn't see.

A girl?

-Are you sure she's Korean?

-Yes, She's a nursing major at St. Anne Technical College.
-A nursing major!?!??!?

Nightingale The Lady with the Lamp

How's her body? Big butt?

-I'm an ass man.
-Stop it. But is it big?

-How big is it?
-I don't know, you pricks.

So you got a date?

When is it?

No, I didn't ask her out.

What is wrong with you?
Why did you bring it up then?

He got no balls.

This is so stale.

You dark pricks.

Having fun?

Of course.

-You look great.
-Cut it out.

What is it now?

-Who's that?
-What?

No idea.

Ask her

Hey, Young-ja.
Who's that?

She's the school matron.
She's here to supervise.

No, no.

Hammering.

Your turn.

Young-ja, check this out.

-Hey, you know what time it is?
Are you crazy?

-Aren't' you exhausted?
-Be quiet.

Gotta change.

-What was that?
-Don't know.

You wanted Korean food, so..

Although you were looking at my boobs

You were listening to me.

No, I wasn't looking.
There you go.

I"m telling you the truth.

Where's your friend?

Dal-goo?
Said he needed to meet someone.

Who?

Ms, you can't do this to me here.
I'm not here for that.

-Shut up.
-What is she saying?

Are you out of your mind?
What are you doing?

Spare my life, Ms.

You cute little thing..

This is it.
So good.

Young-ja, you know what?

The day we met for the first time

Why were you singing with sorrow on that day?

Just..
because it's tough.

When you have a hard time,
don't hold it alone.
Tell me next time,
so I can get you the food like this again.

So, whenever you want to cry,

Never do that alone.

Why?

It tears your heart apart, when you cry alone.

Is two better off?

Absolutely.
There's a saying that 'Two heads are better than one'.

Young-ja, promise me

that from now on,
never cry alone.

I really appreciate it. Mr.

Don't call me Mr.

Mom.....

Sit comfortably.

Try to catch me.

Gotcha.

Sorry..

-Waiting for too long?
-No, it's OK.

Aren't you curious?

About what?

About who I am.

about where I lived in Korea

about my family

No need to ask

huh?

I assumed you were poor.

gotta be the oldest daughter

and your siblings are in need of money

That's why you work so hard
and send all your money to them.

Here we are.

Already?
There you go.

It was fun.

Goodbye

We held our hand together!!

No, it's methane gas!!

The pressure is going over 3%.

It's dangerous.
Everyone must get out.
Evacuate all the miners.

Everybody out!!
OUT! OUT!

Hurry, hurry.

Gas is leaking.
Everyone must evacuate!

Hurry!

What the?

-What was that?.
-What is this?

It's collapsing.
It's collapsing.

Let's get out.

Dal-goo!!!!

-Duk-soo!!
-Let me go.

Dal-goo!!

It hurts, it hurts.

Hold on.

Don't leave me here.
I'm going to haunt you if I die.

Shut up.

Duk-soo....

Duk-soo!!

Father..

Duk-soo?

We need to go in.

Our friends are gonna die.

Too dangerous to go in.
Gas is still in the mine!

Be thankful that you're still alive.

What happened?

Duk-soo and Dal-soo are still there.

We want to go down but they don't let us in.

Why can't we go down?

Too dangerous.
It might explode.

What about people in the mine?

Nobody goes in,
until all the gas is cleared.

Are you going to let them die?

That people worked and risked their lives for you.

People who got stuck in the mine now

those poor people came all the way from Korea
for their family.

If you don't, we will go without you

Impossible for you.
No guarantee that they are still alive.

Watch your tongue.
They are not dead.
They die in front of us if they have to.

-Young-ki
-Yes.

Let's go.

Let's go guys.

Let's go.

Stand up

Let's go

You must live.

Duk-soo

Duk-soo, where are you?

Answer me

Duk-soo

Duk-soo

Duk-soo, get out

Get out

Duk-soo

Duk-soo, I'm so scared.
Open your eyes.

You can't leave your mom and sister like this.

Wake up, you wretch.

Duk-soo

You're alive!

How long has it been?

Duk-soo, are you thirsty?

Gotta save the battery.

Duk-soo, Duk-soo, Duk-soo

Duk-soo

Can you see?

The KKotbuns store is well taken care of.

Mom's doing well, so far...

I miss her.

Seung-Kyu is really great at studying.

He got accepted to Seoul National Univ.

KKeutSun is getting prettier.

She's a troublemaker though.

-She's becoming a woman.
-Go home.

Mak-soon.
My little sister Mak-soon.

She's still missing.

I'm really sorry to Mak-soon.

Father, it's really tough.

Life is tough, indeed.

But the person I really miss now is

It's not you father, mother, or my siblings.

It's Young-ja.

We found them!

Dal-goo!

It's too hot in here.

Duk-soo is really sick

Hang in there.
We'll get you outta here.

Duk-soo is not waking up.

We need a stretcher.

Out of the way

Thank god, you're recovered quickly.

It's all because of you.

I owe you big time.

Make me good food again then.

This time, Doenjang jjigae. (Korean soybean paste stew.)

That's possible.

Got any plans for the next weekend?

How about this weekend?

Why?

Actually, my visa expires this week.

They don't let Korean miners renew their visas.

Good for you.
You really wanted to go home.

Younga-ja, would you take this opportunity

to go back to Korea with me?

Money is good, but living in a foreign country

working with the corps...

There you go.
All done.

Young-ja.

Don't cry.

Why do you cry on such a good day?

You're going back proudly with the money.

I'm working hard and living here.

Duk-soo, congrats on your return.

-Mom!! Mom!!
-Brother!!

Whoa, this is our house?

Come here!

Hey you, SNU student.
Studying hard?

Of course, my brother.

Mom

How have you been?
You did a good job.

No, I appreciate what you have done.

Aunt, is your business going well?

Yes, yes.
It's too good.

Brother, did you make a lot money?

of course.

You don't touch a woman like that.

A woman? Do you study hard?

Pretty ones don't have to study.

Then you must study.

Oh, I hate you.

Mom

Come here, hop on.

You OK?

Not you aunt,
mom again.

MOM

December 21st, 1966.
The first group of Minders returned from Germany for the first time.

This is our house.

Here's what you ordered.

I'm proud of you.

Since you bought the house

I want you to take over this business from me.

What?
You're healthy enough to run this business.

No, I was going to give you this

after I die.

Aunt..

It's here, hey.

Hello, ma'am.

-Hey, you're here.
-This gentleman is looking for fabrics.

Oh yeah?
There you go.

I'm looking for exotic and abnormal fabrics.

Andre Kim, the famous Korean fashion designer.

Fabric?

definitely not this one.

This one is good. Ab..normal..

Fantastic, unbelievable.

I was looking for fabrics for elegant women.

Such things never existed.

How could I miss that you can embroider.

You idiot, stupid, babo=fool.

So men make women's clothes in Seoul?

Next generation,

The unisex will be a hot potato.

Oh you, thanks.

Thank you.

This bag.

Mr. Kim
Mr. Bong-nam Kim. (the real name)

The unisex?

Why don't you say men can give birth?

No way

Young-ja

How have you been, Young-ja?

3 months.

It's only been that long?

Feel like it's been 3 years.

Have some

Can't

Why? You can't drink?

Yes I can.
But can't do it now.

I'm pregnant.

pregnant?

Congrats

Really great news

So his last name is

German?

It's Yoon.
One day before you leave Germany.

You really can't do that?

If you decide to go back now

I'll take care of you, I promise.
Sorry.

Shouldn't have brought it up.

I think today is my last chance.

German song♫

Young-ja, please no.
I'm not ready.

You look great.

OK, here we go.

1, 2, 3.

Don't move.

What are you guys doing?

Stop, leave him alone.

Go away.

Dal-soo, stop it now.

Hold on, ma'am.

Stop it.

Then you sing.

I can't sing.

She can't sing.

Come on.

I really suck

Save me, Young-ja.

Are you going to get him killed?

OK.

She's gonna do it.

Alright, I'll do it.

Everybody listen up.

German song

Where did you meet a woman like that?

He's not gonna die with that whipping.

You die instead, a-hole.
Is this water?

What are you doing?

A man with a yellow shirt~♫

That's it.

A man with no words~♫

Dance, too.

Somehow I like it~♫
Somehow I like him~♫

manly face~♫

Any news?

You're busy, why are you here?
Where are the kids?

They are with their aunt.

Why are you here?

I need you to go with me.

To where?

Follow me.

It's not urgent for the memorial service.

You're not feeling well, either.

I'm just preparing in advance.

And we haven't dated for a long time.
This is good.

Are you out of your mind?

Such a good song.

It's not.
Nam-jin is the best singer.

Hey, you got any Nam-jin songs?

What are you talking about?
Comparing faces and voices,

Na-Hoon-a is much better

The real man is Nam-Jin.

Ask everyone here

Who's better?

Na-Hoon-a, hands down.

Nam-jin has the pretty boy face.

That's right.

You just chop the fish off.
You don't even know what you're talking about.

Nam-jin is the BEST.

Don't ever tell me to go with you somewhere.

Let me get through, please

Autumn, 1973.

Look at them eating.

Hey, guys.
What grade are you in?

5, sir.

You play sports?

Yes

What sports?

SSireum (Korean wrestling)

SSireum? (Korean wrestling)

It's not about eating.

You need techinques.

Grabbing, flipping.

Let's go.

Hey, an adult is talking here.

You rude pricks.

Dal-goo!!
I got accepted.

Korea Maritime and Ocean University.

Are you serious?

Masan-Moohak Elementary School.
Lee Man-ki
The Korean Wrestling Champion of all time.

I just told you.

I'll be the captain, soon.

Thought you're stupid.

Duk-soo

Dal-goo

Ew, get off.

-TV: "Designed by Andre Kim"
-Looks great.

It's more than enough.

OK

(Hyundai Shipbuilding built the largest oil tanker ever in history.
-Named as Hyundai 1, 2-)

(Remember the guy who said he was going to build ships?)

Isn't this your first time ever buying meat?
What's up with today?

Did something good happen?

Am I too transparent?

Yes.

-Have a nice day.
-Alright. Bye.

We can sell this house.

What the heck did you just say?

It doesn't cost that much to get married.

This is why I can't get married,
and getting old here.

How dare you talk to me like that?

Do you have any idea how hard your brother worked?

You know we can't afford it,
and you throw a tantrum here?

Little brother can do it and I can't?

You knew it'd cost the same for me, too.

You saw how your big brother got married.
You saw it with your own eyes.

That moron chose to do it.

Hey, hey, you obnoxious

Who paid your university tuition fee?

Your big brother,
worked hard and risked his life in Germany.

That's why you can go to university.

That's why we can live in a house like this.

-She really needs to grow up.

-Calm down.

This way.

This is it.
This store sells imported goods.

You can sell whatever you want.

Hey, look.
What's this all about?

Uncle, It only has been a few days since she passed away.

How could you sell the store without talking to me?
You know she had to work for her whole life.

Well, I don't need to talk to anyone when I sell my store.

It's aunt's store, not yours.

How dare you raise your voice?

I have nothing

I'll die from hunger if I don't sell the store.

Got anything to say?

Leave, if you have nothing to say.

I'll buy it.

What?

The store, I'll take it.

The KKotboons.

No way.
Vietnam is at war.

I don't watch news.

But I know people get killed in Vietnam.

Mother, Soldiers get killed there.

It's really safe for technicians like us.

I don't think so.

Brother, do they pay you a lot?

Shut up.

They'll pay me $850 USD.

400,000 won in our currency.

That's awesome.
I'll have no problem getting married.

I told you to shut your mouth.

Never going to let you go.

We can economize.

We can sure make money for her wedding.

Mother, just let me go.
I'm not going alone.

Who's going with you?

Dal-goo is going with me.

Am I?
When?

No

She's right.

Do you want me to be a widow?

This is a widow's house.

You live here, die here.

Why are you so negative?

It's NO in any case.

Hon, I'm the first son.

-You are the head of our family.
-That's right.

The head and the first son must take care of his family.

You've done enough.
What else should you do more?

Why is it always you?

Stop it now.

Also, you think I don't know?

Your sister's wedding?

You are going to the battlefield
because of the store.

You think I didn't know?

Enough!

Since when did you become so talkative?

Do you think I want to do this? huh?

This is my destiny.
I can't change my destiny.

What about your destiny?

Do not live for someone else

but live for yourself from now on.

Your life doesn't have 'YOU' in it.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Republic of Korea

for the eternal glory of our country and nation,

pledge to devote our body and mind

You call yourself a human?

-What now?
-How could you bring your friend to the battlefield?

Summer, 1974.
Saigon City(currently Ho Chi Minh),
The capital of Vietnam.

You brought me into West Germany

Mines and battlefields are different.

What's so different?
We do it for money.

Life isn't all about money.

Life isn't all about women.

Where'd you get the perm anyway?

It's so hot.

Hey, Duk-soo.

So heavy.

Sign this

sign?

Sign OK

OK, sign, sign.

It's too hot.

Looks so familiar, Dal-goo?

Shut it.
Since we got the paycheck, want some drink there?

Where?

There

Look at it, it's soldiers only.

That's for the US soldiers.
We can't go in.

Hello, ladies.

Let me go.

You little pricks.

Don't cry.

Did they hit you?

Here

Korean?

Thank you.

This way, please.

OK, OK.

Why?

Alright.

Dal-goo!!!!

Hey, honey.
How are you?

I'm fine.
I'm working without any trouble.

It's really great here.

Just like I told you before.
I'm not a soldier.

I work in a non-military zone.

Spending time here like a vacation.

Honey, I'm starting to think about our situation.

We're born in a tough period.

We're the one who go through this tough time.

How grateful is it that our children don't experience this?

Let's put it this way.

If our children went through that damn Korean war.

In West Germany,
if our sons worked in the hell-like mine.

In Vietnam, in the middle of the battlefield,

If our children were here for money

It would've been really great,

if all that didn't happen.

Aren't we fortunate enough

that our children didn't have to go through those

but we did?

You don't have to worry about me.
I'm doing really good here.
I love you with all my heart.
August, 22nd. 1974. Duk-soo from Vietnam.

Evacuate now.
The area has been occupied by the Viet Cong.

It's too dangerous.
Get out of there immediately.

Shhhh

Hide

They're gone now.

Snake

what?

snake

what?

snake

Dal-goo, Dal-goo

Don't kill me.

We're the Marines.

What the heck are you guys doing here?

Don't kill me.

This area has been occupied by the Viet Cong.

The US army is evacuating.

You should come with us.

Snakes everywhere.

Come on guys, we have no time.

Gonna lose my mind.

Are you? Nam-Jin?

I'm too popular.

Duk-soo

Dal-goo!

On that green prairie♫

build a dream house♫

We built this deck.

We'll blow this up so the enemy can't use it.

Blow it up into pieces.

As I expected.

Since we have no time, board the ship now.
You could get killed.

-build a dream house♫
-It's really good. Is it a new song?
-Yeah, I'll release it once I get back home.

Going to be a hit song?

I can feel it.

Can I get an autograph?

Three, please.

Hurry, hurry.
Put them on the ship.

Hurry, we have no time.

Faster, come on.

Is that the last one?

Put on personal items, too.

Who are they?

No way.

-What's going on?
-They want to go with us.

NO

-They gave the information about the Viet Cong to the US soldiers.
-The same night, the Viet Cong asked about the US soldiers and kidnapped the young males.

It's a war.
We've been through the same war, too.

Let's go.

Hey!

Those are not the same.

I've never taught you like that.

You prick

They'll get killed since they talk to us.

They want us to take children if we can't take everyone.

We can't
Not enough seats for us, too.

-Why aren't you helping us?
-Alright.

Alright.

Hurry

Come here, come here.

It's OK.

Brother!

Brother!

Duk-soo

Pull out, pull out.

Stay still.

Hurry, hurry.

Hurry

Duk-soo!

Duk-soo!

Duk-soo

Are you OK?

(This is why Duk-soo is a big fan of Nam-Jin,
despite Nam-jin is from Jeolla Province.
People from Jeolla and Gyeongsang provinces don't like each other.
Duk-soo lives in Busan, Gyeongsang province.)

April 30th, 1975.
Vietnam war comes to an end.

Take a look, Just got a new stock.

Give me a break.

What?

You just cross the line.
I've told you before what I would do if you crossed the line.

-Come on, we live together.
-Did I say something about it?
But there's the ethics of business.
You're breaking it.

-You don't have to act as if you don't have a husband.
-Why do you bring up about my husband?

Let go

Let go of her. You crazy.

What's wrong with you?

Honey

Young-ja

Honey

-What is wrong with your leg?
-It's nothing.

You've been well?

-What's wrong with your leg?
-It's nothing.

What's wrong with your leg?

I'm fine.

-I'm fine.
-What's wrong with your leg?

I'm fine.

Brother

It's OK.
Don't cry.

Here we go.
Look here.
On 3.
1, 2..

Why do you always close you eyes whenever you get a picture taken.

You need to take some rest.
Let your kids run the business.

-Dad, you should travel with your mom.
Enjoy your life.
-That's right, brother. You don't bring your money with you when you die.

People don't use imported goods these days.

She's right. Local ones are popular.

Life is all about timing.
Sell your store and let's move.

Stop talking and eat the fruits.

Why are you so negative when we bring up your store?

I can't have conversations with dad lately.

Did you just find out that?
It's been long.

-Why does he care so much about the store? It's worthless.
-Look at the name of the store. It's so old-fashioned.

-Father!
-Duk-soo!

If I can't climb back up

I'll meet you at your aunt's store
inside the international market in Busan.

Everybody knows the KKotboons store.

It's the KKotboons. Got it?

YES

This week's program is called "Does anyone know this person?".
It's for people who got separated by the Korean war.

It's a special TV program.

This program is for those who lost their family during the war.

-Do you remember your big uncle's name?
-Kim Yeo-joon.

Mom...

(Seoul)

(Dae-gu)

-I was once left to the Barber shop.
-That's right.
-It was cloudy.
-Yes.

Why did you lose me?

Seoul

Busan

-What's your brother's name?
-Eung-Nam
-That's right. You are my son.

Mom!

Oh lord, this can't be happening.
Mom..

We have Mr. Duk-soo Yoon from Joong-Gu, Busan.

He's looking for his father, Jin-Gyu Yoon,
and hist sister, Mak-soon Yoon.

Could you briefly tell us what happened?

OK, Hungnam port, oh no...
I mean I lost them during the Hungnam evacuation

I was carrying my sister on my back

I was climbing up the ship and I thought I was holding her

I lost my grip

And my father went down to get her.
That's how we were separated.

OK, his father worked at Hungnam fertilizer factory.
He was a manager of Labour department.
His sister has a mole on the back of the ear.

-Hope you find your family.
-Hold on, hold on.

Whenever my mother made clothes for my family,

she embroidered like her signature

Like these flowers and butterflies.

I let go of my sisters' hand at the Hungnam port,

all I have now is this torn sleeve.

-To the side.
-Left of right?
-Your right.

That's it.

-What was my job back then?
-Worked at the bicycle store.

Yes..right..

Have some.

You shouldn't eat and watch TV at the same time.

Adults can do it.

I don't think you're an adult.

Hello, yes.
He's here. What?

Duk-soo, I think they found him.

Found what?

Your father..

He's here now.

-We got news from Busan.
-Busan? I came from Busan to Seoul.

Duk-soo Yoon is here.

Everyone get ready.

Hurry, get him here.

-Sit here.
-Hello

-If he's on TV, you can talk to him.
Stay calm.
-OK

Here we go, 1, 2, cue.

Duk-soo Yoon who is looking for his father and sister.

We've got a call from Busan after Mr. Yoon's interview.

Mr. Yoon. Please get ready for the call.

Are you Duk-soo?

Yes, I am.
Do you know me?

Are you Duk-soo who lived in Hungnam?

Yes, I used to live in Hunngam.

My last name is not Yoo, it's Yoon.

Are you sure it's not Yoo?

-No, it's not. Mine is Yoon.
-That's not your father.

Don't you have a burn on your left arm?

No, I don't.

I don't think it's him.

He's not my father.

Unfortunately, it wasn't successful.

It's OK.
We still have hope.

What if you met a person who knew about your father
and you were told he passed away?

-The transit fare wasn't cheap at all.
-Shut your mouth.
-OK.

Hello,
hey brother, you're doing OK?

Don't worry about that.
What?

Mom, mom.

Get ready. Camera 3.

Hurry, guys.

Get out.

Everyone, get ready.

We've got new news.
We've got a call from a woman in LA
who appears to be his sister.

-Yes, she said she lost her family at Hungnam port.
You need to check the rest.
You'll see her on TV.
Ask her your questions.

Los Angeles

Seoul

A person I'm looking for is my sister, Mak-soon Yoon.

What's going on?

She can't speak Korean.

What did she say?

What is she saying?

She was adopted when she was little.
She doesn't know her Korean name.

Adopted?
To the US?

I only have one clear memory.

It was Hunggam port in the winter.

My big brother, my brother was

carrying me on his back and running.

And I remember he was scolding me.

So what's your hometown?
Where is it?
Please ask her that.

I don't know exactly.

I was crying at the Hunngam port.

When US soldier took me on board.

I was sent to an orphanage in Busan.
I was adopted there by American family.

Um..yes.

My sister Mak-soon has a mole on the back of her left ear.

Is that a mole?

She has one.

I remember

I remember right before we were separated.

My brother told me

This is not a playground

We are not going out to play.

Don't you ever let go of your brother's hand. Got it?

My sister Mak-soon.

That's it.

That is her clothes.

Mak-soon.

I'm really sorry, Mak-soon.

Sorry, Mak-soon.

I'm so sorry.

-Why did you leave me?
-I'm so sorry for not holding your hand tight.

-Mak-soon. That's her.
-My sister.

Where is mom?
Where is my mother?

She's alive. Mak-soon.
She's alive.

Mom's here.
Your mom is here.

Thank you so much.

Hooray!

Mom.

Mom, I know what you've gone through.

Take him down, take him.

Mother passed away after 1 year she met Mak-soon.

She had missed her husband for life.

Her dream never came true.

Put it in the middle.

Let's bow to your great-grandma.

You go boys.

Next, my Seo-hyun will sing a song.

Stand right here.
What song do you want to sing?

Your favorite, Round Sun rise?

What do you want?

Good girl.

You can't teach her that song.

Grow up, you prick.

Dad, come on.

My back.

Grandpa taught you well.

Father, I kept my promise.

I found Mak-soon.

Haven't I done good enough?

But, it was extremely hard for me.

Don't cry, Duk-soo.

Father.

Yes, I know what you have gone through.
How hard it was.

I really appreciate what you have done.

You have done things that I couldn't do.

I really appreciate it.

Father, I've missed you so much.

Yes.
I've missed you so much, too.

What was your dream then?

I wanted to meet a nice guy.

and have happy family.

Congrats.
Your dream came true.

I don't think so.

Why?
Do you regret that you married me?

What about you?
Why did you marry me?

Because you're beautiful.

Well, I really like it even if it's a lie.

Why did you marry me then?

Because I love you.

Well, I really like it even if it's a lie.

Go ahead and sell it.

Sell what?

My store.

You've grown up now. Eh?

Well, he can't come now.
He's too old.

Ode to my father 2014
