A DAY IN 1987

Seems like just yesterday I received your first pen-pal letter.

I can't believe you're being discharged already.

Allegiance!

But we just met, mister.

I'll introduce him to my family.

You drunk already?

Your pappy will flip!

What are you doing'!

He did this cuz he don't like you sleeping over at a friend's house!

If he knows you're dating' a Jeolla-do man, he'll kill you!

Stop it. I ain't backing down this time.

I'll just go hide and live in Jeolla-do if I have to!

So no one can find me.

They'll get you.

Just watch me.

Must be dang tired. Busy these days, eh?

I'm a big fan of PARK Nam-jung.

Thank you. It's all thanks to the fans.

Ow! My face!

What the hell?

Careful, eh? He's one in a million.

No matter how much Busan guys promised,

we'll pay double. Okay? Let's go.

Ah, sure. Thank you, sir.

Just get in your car then?

d Under the starry night

d The streetlights shine

d But I am lost in thought

d Silently walking my way

d A lonely quiet night

d I want to go somewhere

d Like a cloud floating away

d My footsteps go on and on

d Why do I miss you so?

d Why can't you see me?

d You know I love you

d We are in love

PARK Nam-jung! PARK Nam-jung!

- Enjoying the show? - Yes!

I'm dang happy coming' to Gyeongsang-do Busan!

Gyeongsang-do is definitely better than Jeolla-do.

What? He thinks this is Busan?

What? Why are y'all so quiet?

Busan Seagulls? Where are the Busan fans?

That crazy idiot!

I'm here y'all!

Oh no...

That ignorant fool!

What the! It's me! PARK Nam-jung!

The fool asked for it.

I'm so sorry, sir.

Terribly sorry!

I'm sorry. I deserve to get beaten.

- Drive em to the bus terminal. - Yes, sir.

- It's okay, really. - Come with me.

Hyun-jun's here!

You!

Watcha doing' out all day!

Did something happen?

Where's PARK Nam-jung going'?

Dang...

Me son's no use...

I want to retire, but there's no one to trust.

Sorry, sir.

Then smarten up, fool!

Yes, boss.

FROM BUSAN

FROM BUSAN TO SEOUL

Ah... Over here.

Here.

You always give me flowers.

Golly, it smells sooo...

It smells pretty and sweet.

Not as pretty and sweet as you.

Please.

Da-hong?

You're so beautiful, eh?

Golly! Oh, please...

Wait! Da-hong?

Ready? One, two, three!

- There. - Wait, please!

Can you take one with mine?

- Sure. - Thank you.

We have the same camera!

We do, eh?

We must be destiny.

Ready? One, two, three!

Friends say they have the best pork cutlets in Seoul here.

Really? Then let's get that.

Ready to order?

- Two pork cutlets, please. - Okay.

Would you like rice or bread with your meal?

- How's rice? - Yes, rice is better.

We'll have rice.

Okay. What soup would you like?

Well, Campbell's soup of course.

We'll take that, eh?

Ah... Hyun-jun...

Kidding. It's a joke.

He's joking.

And two glasses of gin tonic please, eh?

- Please, eh? - Ah, please.

Okay, gin tonic...

Campbell's soup.

Enjoy your meal.

This song's from Hyun-jun of pretty Gwangju

to his love, Da-hong.

'When Time Goes By' by CHOl Ho-seop!

Golly, Hyun-jun.

It's me first time to send in a request, eh?

It's my favorite.

Fav... Favorite?

Oh, your favorite song.

I thought you only listened to classical music, eh?

This song's sad, and kinda like our story.

What do you mean?

I was set up on a blind date again.

Pappy says I gotta marry within the year.

What? Why?

Says girls depreciate in worth after twenty-six.

That's crazy.

A girl ain't no Christmas tree you

chuck out after the season.

Fine. I'm going to meet em.

Tell your parents beforehand.

- Really? - Yeah, really!

- Golly! - Why?

What's wrong?

NO MORE BUSES TODAY

Oh no. I'm so dead.

Mama?

Ah... where's pappy?

Night fishing'?

But mama...

The thing is...

I missed the last bus. I'll sleep over at Mi-ja's.

No. Don't worry.

Yes, mama!

Ah, thank you.

Anytime.

Ah...

- Hyun-jun? - Right.

- Can we... - Yes?

Just hold hands and sleep?

Ah... of course.

Not much else to hold.

- Da-hong? - Yes?

I... I think...

I'm really in love with you.

Me, too.

- But. - What?

Pappy will never approve.

Cuz I'm not from the same hometown?

Pappy says anyone's okay

as long as they're not from Jeolla-do.

Why for Christ's sake?

It's like a sickness he has.

A terrible illness.

Da-hong?

The important thing is how you feel.

Da-hong, will you marry...

Yes!

But...

Don't worry about anything'.

Just come to me. You trust me, eh?

There, there. It'll be okay.

Trust me and come to me, then...

- Honey... - Yes, Da-hong?

Still, we're only holding hands, right?

How many times do I have to say it?

There's not much else to hold.

Hand. Good.

Let's sleep.

Take good care.

- Honey? - Hmm?

Can you call me at night?

I wanna hear your voice before I sleep.

Ah... What time?

I'll pick up if you call exactly at 10 p. m.

Gotcha. I'll call at 10 p. m.

Promise?

Sure!

What!

You're bringing home a Gyeongsang-do girl?

Yes.

You think your old man's worth shit?

Think marriage is a joke?

No, I'm serious!

I told you I'm gonna marry the girl I love.

Know what Gyeongsang-do girls are like?

They're curt like...

What? What the hell?'

And say crap like that!

If you meet her, you'll like her.

First, I'll go there and meet her family.

Wait a few days.

What the... That fool!

- Golly! - The hell?

You scared me.

Pappy? Why are you sleeping here?

Think I hate something bad.

I had non-stop diarrhea. Must've fallen asleep here.

Why are you down here?

Ah...

I... came for a cup of water.

Now, I can't sleep.

I'll just watch TV.

Go watch it with Mama, she'll be bored.

Really?

Okay. You get some sleep, too.

Hello?

Why call? Of course I'll be back.

Think I lost my way in the house?

Hang up. I'll be right there.

Dang woman wasting money and calling in the house.

That was close.

Hello?

Waiting itself is a blessing.

Though my heart aches...

I smile with my head held high

in the blowing wind.

Thinking of my love somewhere out there.

Gone are the days of wander.

If I was born destined...

to meet my love, now I long to be with thee.

Honey... That's so sweet.

Golly, geez.

We had no idea that the author was a man.

I'm sorry.

Please, don't be.

We asked you to come to talk about your new series.

Excuse me?

MY LOVE, JIN DA-HONG BY HYUN-Jl

This.

The character is interesting and the response is good.

Thank you.

We should be thanking you.

Anyway, we got calls asking Hyun-ji...

I mean, Hyun-jun, for interviews.

I'd like to remain anonymous

as Hyun-ji for now.

It's easier to work that way.

- I understand. - Thanks.

CELEBRATING THE SEOUL OLYMPICS

I told my family about us today.

Pappy wants to meet you and talk.

My mama's birthday's this Saturday.

The mood will be good then.

You have to get Pappy to like you.

Practice speaking Seoul talk.

Fighting against Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do hostility for love.

I respect your courage.

So you'll help me, eh?

Yes!

I'll turn you into a Seoul man!

Hello? My name is CHO Hyun-jun.

I'm from Seoul.

- Again. - Okay.

Hello? My name is CHO Hyun-jun.

I'm from Seoul.

No! No! No!

Dang spanking annoying', eh!

Can't you say it right?

I'll tell you. I'm from Bulkyo, Jeolla-do.

Then you've been lying' all this time?

So? You're just gonna give up?

No, it's not that...

I decided to help you cuz I feel for you, fellar!

I was able to work as a top DJ here

cuz of me hard tooting efforts!

At first I was like...

Hello, y'all!

Listen up to a shocking dear, saucy song, eh?

Like that!

I respect you, sir.

Have hope. And let's start from the top.

Yes, sir.

- Again. - What?

Again!

Ah... I'm from Seoul.

Dang! Again!

Sure, kill me pawn, sir.

I'll be going'.

What? You're really going to Busan?

I'm a man of me word, eh?

I've been thinking.

A cartoonist ain't so bad, eh?

So, you can stay here and draw.

No need to go to Busan.

Just marry a Jeolla-do gal, eh?

Your son won't get sucked into Gyeongsang-do

so don't you worry.

It's just for a few days.

Don't worry.

Isn't yo book due soon?

I'm taking stuff I need. I'll work there!

- Hyun-jun! - Fool!

He don't know what Gyeongsang-do people are like!

Don't worry, boss. I'll stick to him like glue, eh?

Good. Don't let anything happen!

This game's over.

But I almost won!

- Not again, boss! - It's over!

Go on and tail him!

Dang. That was me game.

This news just in.

The Berlin Wall in Germany has finally fallen.

People of East and West Germany met

and celebrated all night.

Celebrated... Cele...

Why's it so hard, eh?

This news just in.

The Berlin Wall in Germany...

Quiet down, eh?

Sorry, but I have to practice.

So sorry.

This news just in.

The Berlin Wall in Germany has finally fallen.

What's with these pictures?

Maybe you got someone else's by mistake.

- Thank you. - This one, too.

Our cameras got mixed up.

They're Hyun-jun's pictures.

What a freak!

See! I told you men who do pen-pals

can't be normal!

Screw this. Dump him!

But he's almost here.

No use showing him to your parents.

A Jeolla-do man and a freak on top!

When he gets off the bus, tell him it's over and run.

No! Guys like that can flip and go crazy.

What if he flips out on her?

So scary! That's possible.

I don't think this freak will go down easily.

Just have a meal together and send him off nicely.

If you don't hear from me, call the cops fast.

- Sure. - Of course!

It's a good picture.

Da-hong!

- Hyun-jun. - Hi.

Look at the mug on the chap!

Looks like a con-man!

The hell is that fool?

Who's that anchovy head looking at?

Something wrong with his eyes?

Looks better in person.

Who's that crazy flower girl?

Gyeongsang-do girls are something'.

Look at that hat! So unbalanced.

Wow! It's so nice, eh?

I only came here a few times.

Never knew how nice Busan was, eh?

Still a country city compared to Seoul.

But I like Busan more than Seoul.

Of course. Can't compare your hometown.

How bout a tour of the sea before we go, eh?

Sure.

What?

Your shoes are so pretty. Unique design, eh?

You like women's things?

Well, I guess sort of.

Someday I'll be able to confess things

Like this about myself.

No need. I can take a wild guess.

You can? So you know what I am?

Yes... sort of.

News spread all the way to here?

Don't touch me!

Get away! Scram!

But...

But what!

You freak! How dare you!

You blocked?

Take this, freak!

Pervert! You like that?

You freak! You horrible freak!

Look at the lovebirds.

Getting physical right away, eh?

Totally me style.

Golly, you're right. Oh no.

You're really a cartoonist?

That's what I said.

Then why'd you hide it?

Come on.

A man drawing girlie cartoons...

I couldn't say it.

I was worried you won't wanna date me.

That's crazy.

I like this more than you

just taking over your father's club.

I love cartoons.

Emotional love after the physical part.

I need work on that.

He knows his stuff.

Your short hair is dang pretty!

- Oh, stop. - You know it.

What the!

Is she out of her mind?

Where's she putting her head!

The duck's so cute, eh?

What in the world?

Get away!

Out of the way!

Why's he saying' to stop the car?

Get out of the way!

It's not easy being beautiful.

What?

Where's the fool going' after telling me to pull over?

That crazy fool!

Crazy woman! Why's she parking'?

Ow, me neck.

All Lotte gums?

Lady, give me a pack of Haitai gum.

Don't carry Haitai gum.

Don't kid with me. I'm busy.

Serious! We don't carry Haitai stuff.

Lotte gum's the best right there.

You need change? Here just take it.

Something bothering you?

So bitter.

Hey, Lady,

Why are you staring at me, eh?

Who me?

You're staring right at me

non-stop, Lady!

Mister, these here are my eyes!

I can look at whatever

I damn please with my eyes!

Still, you should ask permission

or something', eh?

So sorry, then!

Sorry? Yeah, right! Come back here!

How dare you cut me off!

Dang no manners tooting lady!

I can get mad!

What!

It ate me coin!

Can't stand even the phones here!

Lady?

Miss?

A pack of Lotte gum, please.

What?

Is that all you can do, fool?

So, you sure you're not hurt?

Call me if anything happens, eh?

And go to the hospital and get an X-ray.

You know I don't go to hospitals, boss.

Fool! You need an X-ray after car accidents!

Mr. CHA Dae-shik?

I'll be alright after an X-ray, right?

Yes. Please take your clothes off, then come out.

CHANGING ROOM

- Take it good, eh? - Yes.

Golly!

What! I'm taking an X-ray here!

Where's the gown! Don't come out naked!

How would I know! It's my first time!

If I did anything wrong, cast stones at me!

It's okay.

- Did he scare you? - No, he's cute.

Here doggy.

- Welcome. - Oh!

Hello, ma'am. My name is CHO Hyun-jun.

No, Hyun-jun. She's our house keeper.

Come in.

- Thank you. - She's always like that.

Mama!

Welcome. I'm Da-hong's mother.

Hello, ma'am. My name is CHO Hyun-jun.

You must be tired from the long trip.

Could you prepare a snack in the garden?

What a gentle, good looking young man.

Looks like Da-hong found the right man.

Thank you, ma'am. I've never been so complimented.

And humble, too.

Where do you live in Seoul?

Ah... Kangnam.

Mama's from Seoul, too.

She flips when people mention Seoul.

It's been so long since I've been to Seoul.

What's it like these days?

It's gotten a lot better since the Olympics.

There are ferries on Han River.

There are four subway lines.

And a McDonald's just opened up

in Apgujung-dong.

Do you know Apgujung-dong?

Myung-dong was the hot spot in my days.

You had to wear rubber boots to go to Apgujung-dong.

There were nothing but rice fields with grasshoppers everywhere.

I see.

Are you okay?

No, it was nothing'. I can face way worse.

Is this your room, Da-hong?

What! Totally pink.

And these books.

It's a perfect princess room.

Ah... This is my brother's room.

What?

Well, he's got a unique taste, eh?

Let's go to my room.

Wait.

- How bout a kiss? - Honey...

Ready?

The hell you kids doing'!

- You scared me. - Hello.

Don't you know how to knock!

Why would I knock to come into my room?

- Let's go. - Okay.

Isn't this...

The first letter I sent you?

I never saw a carefully made envelope like this.

So I knew I could date a thoughtful man like you.

- What are you doing'? - I... ah...

Shouldn't we finish what we started earlier?

Oh, please.

You scared me!

What are you doing' in broad daylight!

Auntie! Don't you know how to knock!

Your pappy wants you to come down.

Or are you two busy kissing'!

How do you do, ma'am.

Incredibly fine, thanks.

- Honey? Let's go - Hmm?

Not you!

He wants to see you alone.

I hope she didn't hear us.

Don't worry. Our walls are thick.

- Ah, really? - Oh, man!

Hello, sir.

Strike!

Been working out? Give it a throw.

- Sir? - Throw the ball.

Ball.

What brings you here?

I'm in love with Da-hong, sir.

I came for your permission in marriage.

I'll be watching you.

So, what does your father do?

Ah... it's like a big restaurant with music and things.

What's it called?

Jeon-ju Restaurant.

Why Jeonju of all places?

I don't care for Jeolla-do food.

Don't listen to his non-sense. Try the food.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you.

I especially made the Japchae myself.

Hope you like it.

How did you know, ma'am? Japchae is my favorite.

Isn't that a fly?

What? A fly?

Golly! It is!

It looks like a black mushroom.

What! Ever seen a mushroom with wings?

It tastes really fresh and good.

The mushroom must've looked like a fly cuz it's so fresh.

It looks like it can fly.

Yes, ma'am. Are there any more mushrooms?

Lots. I'll get you more.

What is he, a frog?

Japchae's the best with black mushrooms.

There's not much I expect from my daughter's husband.

Just one thing.

He can't be from Jeolla-do!

Hyun-jun?

Are you okay?

Quail egg's stuck in my throat...

Can't breathe!

Hyun-jun!

What's with him!

Wake up! Wake up!

Don't hit him!

- Damn hot! - Move!

What! That smarts!

Hyun-jun? Are you okay?

Where the hell am I, eh?

Snap to it. Pappy's right behind me!

He came to his senses.

What did you just say?

- Sir? - Eh'?

Who? Me?

I heard, too.

Where the hell am I, eh?'

Ah... I was just dreaming.

Dreaming?

Yes. I dreamt I was wandering

around in Gwangju, Jeolla-do.

It's a nightmare.

It was horrible hearing Jeolla-do dialect everywhere.

Must've been startled.

I insist you stay here and rest.

It's okay, ma'am. I reserved a place to stay.

Just sleep in Woon-bong's room.

Don't dream about Jeolla-do. That's scary!

Damn cartoonist, eh!

How'll he make a living off that?

So dang embarrassing.

What's this?

Dear Sir/Madam.

I am a big fan of your cartoons.

When I was about to give up on life...

I started reading your cartoons by chance.

The main character resembled me so much...

Your story gave me the courage to fight for my life.

You are a lifesaver.

I hope you continue to draw and

bring hope to others like me.

It's good. Real good.

How'd he draw so fun like this?

Looks so real, eh?

GIRLS GENERATION

Are you asleep?

Ma'am...

How's your stomach feeling?

I made some porridge for you.

You didn't have to, ma'am.

No, I really wanted to.

It's halibut and algae porridge.

I boiled finely ground up halibut,

brown algae, and rice.

Then added a drop of sesame oil.

I see, ma'am.

Slow down. It's hot.

It tastes like something

my mother used to make when I was young.

I never had it after she died.

But I remember the taste.

Where is your mother's hometown?

- It's Jeol... - Jeolla-do?

Jeolnong-dong.

It's a small suburb in Seoul.

That's strange. Seoul people can't eat this.

Where's your grandmother from?

I swear my whole family

Lived there all their lives.

Pappy and Mama seem to like you.

I'm so happy!

- You too, right? - Course.

I'm so jealous of you.

Well, me dad practically disowned me.

I once ran away from home cuz I didn't want to play the piano.

Really, eh?

Then what do you like?

Actually...

I want to write novels.

An author?

I knew there's something special about your letters.

I'm going to write my own book someday.

Then I can draw cartoons to your story.

Golly! Yeah!

Here's to our future! Cheers!

Cheers!

Having a jolly good time, huh?

Isn't that the fool from before?

Why I'll crush his legs and throw em on the beach!

How dare he!

Why's she waving?

Good to see you too, eh?

Git lost woman!

Goodnight.

Are you nuts!

What are you doing'!

What are you?

You! Why date a guy like him?

Stupid! That's not it!

This is dang nuts.

Take the whatchamacallit off right now, eh!

Don't touch my precious things!

Whatchamacallit'?

Eh'?

- Gotta wake up Pap. - Wait!

I'll explain everything.

Yes, I'm from Jeolla-do.

But I'm no freak like you think I am.

See these cartoons here? I drew em, eh?

Watch your mouth.

Don't rattle off shit like that!

How dare you say you're Hyun-ji the great!

But I am Hyun-ji.

What? You're Hyun-ji?

Yes.

- You drew all that? - Yes.

Then what does Jennifer

say at the end of Girls Generation 1 '?

Though destiny pulls us apart I'll never forget you'.

Then what's Ellie wearing at the start of book 3?

A blue sailor uniform.

Jennifer dies in the last book, right?

What's her last words to Richard?

If I can be born again'...

I'll be a real woman'...

- And live for you. - And live for you.

- I love you'. - I love you'.

It's a miracle!

Forgive me for pretending to be a Seoul man, eh?

Who cares if you're from Jeolla-do.

I've never felt this way before!

I lived like an alien all my life.

I'm not alone anymore!

Take it off, please It's all stretched.

You crazy!

Ouch!

I don't believe this!

You should sleep in and rest. Why follow me out here?

No, ma'am. I really wanted to come.

No one in the family ever came out

for groceries with me like this.

I feel so happy to have you

at my side to help.

I've always wanted to do this with my mother if she was alive...

A man with strong arms should help out like this.

Gyeongsang-do men are too authoritative

and don't know how to treat women.

Jeolla-do men are the best.

What?

I mean, Seoul men are the best.

Right.

Do you like Soondae?

I dang spanking do!

- Ah... - Let's go, ma'am.

People don't eat Soondae with salt here?

No. I wasn't used to it at first,

but now I am.

- Thank you, ma'am. - Sure.

Ma'am?

What! Who's this? You're JANG Choon-ja, eh?

What! You're alive? Good to see you, eh?

Where have you been hiding' all these years?

Oh, excuse me. You mistake me for someone else.

You're the first Miss Cockles of Jeolla-do!

Remember your nickname? Scary double hoes?

She got 1000 cockles a minute!

I have no idea what you're talking about.

You have the wrong person.

You sure are JANG Choon-ja!

Don't hit me, please. It hurts.

- Choon-ja! - JANG Choon-ja!

Ma'am! Wait!

Watch where you're going', granny!

Granny? You fool!

Are you damn blind!

Wanna die chomp?

Back in my old days, you'd be toast!

Got damn glasses, eh? Then you should've moved!

- Get lost, fool! - Are you okay, ma'am?

Are you hurt, sir? You bumped hard into me.

I'm okay. I'm sorry, sir.

Take care.

Are you okay, ma'am?

- I'm fine. - That's good.

Smells good. Is that beef soup?

I'll have a glass, too.

Hey, sis?

I think there's something fishy

about that Hyun-jun chap.

Why?

You know they snuck out last night?

Young people can do that. What's strange about that?

You're not gonna let Da-hong marry before me, right?

So get married, already.

Look at all those wrinkles.

Get em tucked and your tummy, too.

Do you want to hear a virgin's pregnant?

I wonder if you are a virgin.

You probably are!

I don't believe this!

I don't have a tummy!

So get married!

I don't deserve this! I'm leaving!

She'll come right back in after a few hours.

I should just change all the locks!

'Hey, sis! Open up! I'm sorry!'

Throw it out.

Have some veggies, too. There.

No, dear! Where're your manners?

I'm blind in one eye.

Pappy!

What? He's bound to know. Right?

Yes, sir.

If it wasn't for that bastard...

I would've become a pro baseball player.

Stop talking about that, dear.

And on top of that...

- Lie face down. - Lie face down!

- Lie down on back. - Lie down on back!

- Roll to the left. - Roll to the left!

- Roll to the right. - Roll to the right!

Do it right, fool! Get up!

JIN YOUNG-GWANG

Can't say your superior's name right, eh?

I'll correct it, sir!

Then say it again. What's my name?

Sgt. KIM Un-seok, sir!

Damn shithead! Don't go changing my name!

How many times did I tell you!

- Hey, Seoul Pig. - LEE Jin-seung, sir!

What's my name?

Sgt. KIM Eun-seok, sir!

Hear that? What's my name?

Sgt. KIM Un-seok, sir!

- Again! - Sgt. KIM Un-seok, sir!

Stop saying Eun-seok as Un-seok!

Down on your head, fool!

You want a piece of me, eh?

Can't you train the newbies, right?

Hit him in the tailbone!

Yes, sir!

Shut up, will you.

I can't stand Jeolla-do!

That's enough, Pappy.

Let's talk about something else.

You like baseball, right?

Yes, sir.

Which team? The Blue Dragons?

No, sir! I love Lotte!

Me, too.

Busan Seagulls! Busan Seagulls!

Don't ever forget me!

Lotte!

Get a grip boys! Lotte!

- Lotte! - Lotte!

What? Oh, no!

Should watch where you going'. Are you hurt?

I'm fine, sir. Sorry, sir!

LEE Dae-ho? Looks like he'll become a big player.

The Lotte Giants are coming down hard on Haitai Tigers.

- JIN Young-gwang's here again. - Really?

Baseball stadium?

Why'd they take him to a baseball game?

The man really loves baseball.

He's going nuts, eh, boss?

I don't get the people there.

Keep a close eye on him.

Let's talk about JIN Young-gwang.

He got injured at the 11th National High School Playoffs and had to quit.

An ill-fated star player.

I remember.

- You do? - Yes.

Isn't that man cheering beside

Mr. JIN quite a unique fan?

Using newspapers to cheer...

Dae-shik! Listen up!

Bring Hyun-jun to me now!

No matter what! Right now!

Boss? Boss?

I never get an explanation!

Always the victim here!

Watcha think?

Like it?

Better than I expected.

Did you hurt your hand?

I always get cramps when I draw.

Let me have a see.

Here?

That feels good.

Sir?

Think I should tell your father everything?

Why? You wanna fess up?

Better to confess and take a light beating.

Yeah, I guess.

But my pap always gives hard beatings.

How do you feel after a few days with us?

Quite blessed to meet good people like this, sir.

Mother treated me like a real mom

and it's like I gained a big brother.

So, you wanna be a part of our family?

On that note.

I have something to tell you... sir.

- Be honest. - Sir?

If Da-hong and me are sinking in water, who will you save?

I...

Don't say you'll save me and die with Da-hong.

No, sir. The only thing I can't do is swim.

So, I can't save anyone.

Sorry, sir.

How can I pull him out of there!

What is it you have to tell me?

Yes, sir... About Seoul...

It's here! Watcha doing'!

- Give it to me! - I can do it, sir!

Don't be stupid! Give it here!

- It's okay, sir! - Pap! I'll do it!

- Git! - You can't do it alone!

Move Pap!

Dang!

Pap! Come out!

- Pap! I can't swim! - Sir!

What!

Pap! Come out!

The things I have to do!

Damn the wind's cold!

Hyun-jun! I'm coming'!

Golly! Hurry up, mister!

There! There! What a relief!

Thank you, sir!

He's alive thanks to you!

Sir? What about me?

Will you come back?

Come here, sir.

It's okay.

Pap! If it wasn't for this man,

you'd be dead! Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

What? Is he a mute?

He says he's busy

and has to go.

You know sign language?

A little.

But he saved my life.

He saved me from drowning on my wife's birthday.

Ask him to come join us.

He thanks you for saving his life

and invites you to his house.

My house is that way.

I ate a lot.

I am full.

Thank you for your love... I mean thoughtful heart.

He says he has to get home.

I insist.

You bring him, no matter what.

Let's go.

How dare that fool come here!

Oh dear God! Thank heavens!

I don't know how to thank you.

This is crazy!

You charge into my house now?

You know this man?

- Course I do! - How?

He's my stalker.

He's been following me around everywhere.

Really?

Is that true?

Admit you're in love with me and wanna marry me!

Why can't you say it? You a mute?

How'd you know?

He can't speak, ma'am.

Who cares if he can't speak or see?

All you need is love.

Good for you! This is great!

Way to go! As long as he's not from Jeolla-do.

I'm so happy for you.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you, ma'am.

Going somewhere?

Oh, the bathroom.

Escort him, Young-ja.

Follow me.

He understands, then there's no problem.

Come on in. Golly! What's with you?

Don't do this!

I'm not an easy girl.

I know how you feel.

But this is going too fast!

Look. Let's go to my room.

The last one on the right!

What the hell is this?

You like this stuff?

Love is free.

I won't run away. Don't worry.

Right, you can't speak. How frustration'!

What are you doing'!

Ma'am?

We can't stay here.

We gotta run, now!

Watcha saying'?

He can talk?

You two know each other?

Shut up!

Your dad's flipping'!

Watcha talking about!

Hear it from your dad.

Let's get out of here!

You two!

You're from Jeolla-do!

I knew it!

I'll get you two!

Untie me, now! Now!

Why aren't you coming down?

- Sis! - What happened?

They're trying to kill me!

They tied me up like this!

They're Jeolla-do men!

Go get my brother, now!

Git the Jeolla-do fools and kill em!

You two are so dead!

Shut up, already!

I knew this day would come.

Run away now! My husband can't know.

Ma'am? You knew?

I suspected it from the porridge.

Seoul people can't eat that.

Ma'am...

Come outside. Then run when the mood livens up.

Go hide and live your life.

Don't let him find you.

She's a lifesaver. Let's go!

You damn bastards!

What's going on?

CHO Hyun-jun!

I'll reveal your real identity!

A bastard who came to ruin my dear niece's life!

Brother!

He's a Jeolla-do fool!

The mute, too!

Stop it, Auntie!

Hyun-jun doesn't know anything'!

He just...

...pretended to be a Seoul man to marry me!

Is that true?

Sir... I can explain.

It's cuz I love Da-hong so much...

Git! You damn idiot!

And look at his bag.

What's with these cartoon books for girlies!

Auntie! Hyun-jun is a cartoonist.

He drew those cartoon books!

Look at this!

You call this a cartoon?

I can draw better than this with my foot!

I drew that!

Sir...

It's all my fault.

I was going to tell you.

I can't have a Jeolla-do man step foot in my house!

Shit! Cut the dang crap!

The hell's wrong with Jeolla-do, eh?

What did Jeolla-do do wrong, eh?

Since you hate Jeolla-do so much!

I hid it me whole life!

But what's wrong with a Jeolla-do girl?

I raised your kids! And took care of you!

You slurped up everything' I made Jeolla-do style! Shit!

Cuz I'm from Jeolla-do, you'll chase me out?

Fine! Go ahead!

I've been missing my hometown at my old age!

So this is good!

Bong-ja! It's over, eh!

Yes, ma'am! Dang it was so frustration'!

Curse it!

The show's over, eh?

The hell you doing'?

Good riddance to Gyeongsang-do! Dang!

Don't go, Mama! You wanna see me die!

I wanted to protect the man you love.

I wanted to help you keep your beautiful love.

But this is all I can do.

It's over.

I'm sorry, Da-hong.

Mama! Mama!

d When time goes by

d And you forget

d This heartbreaking longing

d Please remember our precious love

d Don't ever forget

d When time goes by

d And you forget

d This heartbreaking longing

d Please remember our precious love

d Don't ever forget

Can't cook anything but ramen?

You're not eating, Pap?

Hyun-jun's not home.

No, sir. I was waiting for you.

That should come first.

Don't wanna hear about marriage.

No matter what you say, it ain't happening.

I ran away from home, sir!

Please! Please give us your blessing!

Go back home.

Please, sir.

I'll cut ties with my family if I must, sir.

Please, take me in.

This is a tough situation.

It was an accident...

Your father, JIN Young-gwang...

I'm the one who injured his eye.

Some things in this world...

Can't be done no matter how you try.

What? CHO Se-dong?

Yes, sir. His father runs a club in Gwangju.

That bastard!

- Go back to work. - Yes, sir.

How can this happen?

Jeolla-do, I'll overlook, but why CHO Se-dong of all people!

CHO Se-dong...

Fourth batter for Busan High JIN Young-gwang to the plate!

He's sure to be a national ace player!

Gwangju's ace CHO Se-dong

up against him. Another rising star!

CHO Se-dong with the first pitch!

The ball hit JIN in the eye!

It hit him hard.

It could be a serious injury!

Long time no see, sir.

Sir? Just call me dad.

- Must've been so disappointed. - Course not, sir.

Forget everything. Let's set a date.

But isn't Da-hong seeing someone else?

Who doesn't have a past?

You take care of my daughter.

If you do,

I'll give you the wedding hall.

Have a drink, Dad.

Come by the house on the weekend.

Yes, Dad.

I'm getting married.

Hope you meet someone nice and be happy, too.

I'm sorry.

Ready to order?

The steak here is really good.

I'll have pork cutlets.

- Two pork cutlets then. - Okay.

What soup would you like?

Campbell's soup, please.

- We'll take that. - Okay.

Pappy promised to give you the wedding hall, right?

Of course not.

It's cuz I love you so much.

It doesn't matter.

But... Promise me this.

Anything, Da-hong.

Don't expect me to give you my heart.

Then I'll do whatever Pappy says.

Hyun-jun...

No, Honey...

Forgive me for saying goodbye in a letter like this.

I won't say sorry or ask you to wait.

Let's promise to be together in another lifetime.

My first and...

Last love of this lifetime...

Hyun-jun... Goodbye.

Golly! You've grown!

Thanks for coming!

I only want the best for you.

Wait!

Is this all our love was to you?

Something you walk away from cuz of money?

That's not right.

You can't do this!

Don't do this, hon!

What am I supposed to do now!

How am I supposed to live!

Hon! Don't you know who you really are?

This girl's screwed.

This is wrong, hon! Let's go!

Don't do this, hon!

The hell?

The man behind a sensational hit...

Here's CHO Hyun-jun, author of "My Love, JIN Da-hong".

- Hello. - Hello.

Welcome to our show.

I'm a big fan.

You went by the pen name Hyun-ji, right?

Yes.

Why did you reveal yourself and

change to your real name suddenly?

JIN Da-hong is a real woman

Whom I'm in love with.

But I made a big mistake and couldn't protect her.

I behaved irresponsibly as a man.

Where is JIN Da-hong now?

That's why I came on this show.

Mr. CHO Hyun-jun?

Hyun-jun?

Of course... Love is not easy...

Da-hong?

Da-hong! It's not the end for me!

I can't wait till me next lifetime!

We didn't even start things, eh?

It can�t just end like this!

- You speak with a Jeolla-do accent. - Yes! I'm from Jeolla-do!

And Da-hong's from Gyeongsang-do.

So what's wrong with that!

What's so wrong! The hell is wrong!

Ah... I love Jeolla-do, too.

My husband's from there!

Please calm down. We're on the air.

Please...

Well... I...

Sorry, I kinda got too excited.

So, Da-hong! Please!

Let's just do it!

You're the only one for me now and forever!

We can't hide our love ever!

So, please! Take my heart!

Da-hong!

Hello?

Who's this?

JIN Young-gwang?

One hit and Gwangju High will win!

Busan High's in danger.

CHO Se-dong's on second base. Here's the pitch!

It's a hit!

CHO Se-dong turns third and goes home! And the tag!

Home in! Gwangju High wins!

CHO crashed hard into the catcher.

Looks like his ankle's bent!

CHO Se-dong!

You got old!

Shit...

Don't you look in the mirror?

You liked hitting me on purpose to win that game?

The ball can slip out of a pitcher's hand.

You don't duck and blame me for everything'?

It didn't slip! You threw it at me!

So!

Is that why you told the catcher to break my leg?

Are you nuts?

I did no such thing!

Stop with the youpping', eh?

Tell me why you came here.

- I'm sorry. - What?

- I said, I'm sorry! - Sorry for what?

This?

No! Your son, Hyun-jun!

Sorry about him!

The hell you talking about?

I know it's late.

But will you give me your son?

Fool! Speak right!

Why would I give you me dear son?

You give me your daughter.

- What? - Fool!

You give me your daughter!

Then let's give and take and call it even?

What!

Now, let's finish our game.

What are you doing?

It's a homerun!

You! Never hit a homerun back then, did you?

You fool!

I hit thousands when you weren't watching'!

Young-gwang? I'm sorry, too.

Let bygones be bygones.

Good. I already forgot everything'!

Get up and run!

Gotta step home plate to be a homerun!

Run! One, two! One, two! Slide! Slide!

Good slide!

Why didn't you slide like that back then?

Stupid...

If I went in head first, me neck would've got broke!

After the whatchamacallit, it feels, you know!

Come on! I'll buy you a drink!

The whatchamacallit? Dang good, eh?

Whatchamacallit's the only thing you know in our dialect?

I ain't like I was back in the days.

What? You're still the same, eh?

JANG Choon-ja! The scary double hoes!

Really?

Mama!

Watcha doing here?

Why'd you come?

What do you mean?

Pap! Hurry on over!

- Smells so salty. - It's the sea.

They come to buy cockles?

Why'd you come? To ask me to sign divorce papers?

No, it's not that.

You happy Da-hong ended up like that?

Let's split up. I'll live with Da-hong here.

I'm so embarrassed.

I'm the stupidest chomp there is.

Honey. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry to Da-hong, too.

Forgive me this once?

Why do you look so haggard, honey?

It's cuz you missed my cooking?

So you forgive me?

Thank you.

Ma'am!

Whoa! Whoa!

- You came? - Yes, sir.

- Honey! - Da-hong!

Honey!

Your clothes got all dirty.

It's okay.

Hey, girlie!

You got some girl, eh?

Back in our days,

you went to jail for kissing in public, girl!

What the!

Why you!

Your dad threw it at you! Not me!

I'll get you!

Pap! Where you going'?

Why you!

Come back, Pap!

Cheers!

Chinese food suits both families, eh?

This is the most famous restaurant in Busan.

I can see. Look at the red whatchamacallit.

- Let's eat up, pal. - Sure, bud.

- Eat lots. - Yes, ma'am.

Here, Father. Try some.

Why, sure!

She looks just like the character in the cartoons.

So amazing.

No use raising a daughter, huh?

When did you ever do that for me?

She did when she was like five or six.

Pappy, I don't want this.

You eat it. ' Then you she fed you.

Now that it's all over, tell me the truth.

You ordered the catcher, didn't you?

Oh, come on. No way.

I'm no damn sneak like that.

What? One day he got drunk and told me.

Said you gave orders to break his legs.

You said to practically kill him! Don't lie.

Why you little!

Then what about you?

You hit my eye on purpose.

How many times do I have to say it!

The ball slipped!

That's the truth.

See?

He wanted to hit your waist,

but it slipped and hit your eye.

What!

CHO Se-dong!

- Father! - Pap! No!

Pappy! Please!

Admit it, fool!

Look at the beautiful view up here!

- We're even then! - Why you!
