Original subtitles

Let's go steady.

What?

I said let's go steady.

Jun-su!

Yu Jun-su!

Why aren't you looking? Over here!

Don't look.

Don't look her.

Ouch!

Guk!

Don't call me that.

Jang Guk.

I don't have to fool around with you.

We need to talk. That day...

- Are you retarded? - Listen to me!

It doesn't matter.

That's it to you?

Jun-su.

I told you I'll do it myself.

You're cute, even though you act weird.

I'm cute, huh? You're the one that smells like a baby.

- What? - You smell like a baby.

I smell like a baby?

Guk!

Why are you crying?

I asked you why you are crying!

- Mom! - Did you fight?

No.

Are the Seoul girls bullying you?

I said it's not like that.

Then what? Why are you sitting here crying?

You're driving me crazy. Tell me!

I'm crying because things are so hard that I want to die!

Are you done crying?

Yes.

All that studying must've been hard on you.

People say that you don't have to make it to Seoul National University.

Even if it's just the top three, it's good enough.

You realized that now?

Yes, so I'm going easy on you.

A private university is going to cost a lot.

But I'll be happy with the top three.

People would beat you up for saying such a thing.

Why?

The kids here they get private tuitions, subscribe TV channels and all the rest.

I'm nothing compared to them.

Really? What are we going to do then?

It's no joke.

I'm not joking around either.

But what's the point of getting private lessons everyday

if you go and daydream about other things?

You just don't get it.

What I mean is if you don't put your heart into it, it's all for nothing.

You need to have a goal.

I loved your father very much.

You know that, right?

When I found out that your father died,

I just wanted to die.

I was just so lost that I didn't want to know or hear anything

I wanted to follow your father.

But I saw you and Hun standing there.

Do you remember?

Yes.

So I decided to go on.

I have to make something of you before I die.

You are my goal. The reason I go on living.

If you stumble, then I stumble.

If I stumble, then Hun completely falls apart.

Do you know what I mean?

We're not wealthy but I'll do my best.

So don't say that you want to die.

That makes me want to give up and leave this world.

Mom...

I'm sorry.

So you should be.

But we all get like that at times.

Don't give up. You just keep going.

I'm completely and forever on your side.

Your mom is here for you. You got that?

Yes.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, ma'am. This is Heo Se-min.

Good morning.

We'll be out of the office today.

So our staff won't be needing snacks today.

Yes, I'll call you later. Bye.

I've been saving the settlement money for Min-seob for my kids' intuition fee.

Why are you bringing it up? It's his blood money.

I didn't say anything. I was asked about it, that's all.

Hi.

You can get your own drinks now! You, twerp!

Why are you talking nonsense to me? I'm busy planning our business.

Everything is set to go. Why are you having different thoughts now?

- It doesn't feel right. - What doesn't?

I think it's compensation money from her dead husband's car accident.

- You mean the widow's money? - Yes.

So are you saying it's unlucky or uncomfortable?

Both.

Then why did you come along so far?

Why?

- Ouch. - I asked you to come here.

- That's not what I mean. - And...

Don't call her a widow. Big sis.

No, Hun's mother.

No, just ma'am.

- Listen to your crap. - What?

Do you like her?

Are you nuts?

Then why are you ruining a perfectly made meal?

I haven't even started cooking yet.

Just rent an average car and get an average office.

Find a gourmet dumpling restaurant and get their name.

You want a piece of the pie without even putting in a dime?

You said she's stupid.

When did I say that? I said she's nice.

Nice? But she's been around the block. She's a widow.

I said don't call her that!

It hurts! Then what do I call her?

Go-sun. Ms. Choi Go-sun.

Why should I?

Show some manners for my meal ticket.

Fine, I will. Just don't hit me.

When will you start this Ms. Choi Go-sun project?

Huh? I'll come up with the start-up budget.

Heo Se-min! What about all the homeless people that we fed dumplings?

I'm thinking.

All you do is think and beat me up.

Did you allow Hun to go to Gwanghwamun with his friends?

Yes, there's a match against Germany.

It's going to be really crowded. You think it'll be okay?

Sure. Boys need toughening up.

Shall I go with him?

We had that talk last night, remember?

Oops! My mistake! I'll just focus on my studies.

Don't worry. He's already been here a few times for dumplings.

Already? That boy is so friendly.

It's in his blood. Like father, like son.

What are you doing, Hun? Hurry up.

You go ahead and eat first.

Okay, Grandma.

There you are.

- Good morning. - Good morning. Go on and eat.

What's going on? Both of you eating breakfast?

Mom said that I need to eat carbs for my brain to work well.

Mom said that I will get tall.

Today they both got up on their own.

How come you're eating porridge?

- His stomach's upset. - Is it indigestion?

No, you know how mom worries too much.

You said you felt bloated. It's all stress.

Right.

Uncle also likes pine nut porridge.

How is he doing?

- He looked well. - When's he coming?

When the time comes, I guess.

Really, vice principal? You sound so relaxed.

That's how I'm going to live my life.

Dad, you look happy.

Really?

You think we'll win today? Germany's a tough team.

But I believe we can.

- Dreams come true! - Let's go! Yokohama, okay?

Let's go to the finals. Go, Korea!

My heart is trembling already.

- Bro! - Yes?

Where will you go for the Germany match? I'm going to Gwanghwamun.

- I'll watch at school. - What about Da-hae?

Not sure.

Jun-su.

Dreams come true!

Hakuna matata!

Da-hae!

Oh, Jun-seong!

Jju Da-hae, you poor girl.

God, please help me.

Honey.

It must've been. Sure, I'll call you straight away.

What are you doing? Da-hae is waiting for you.

Give me a minute.

I just got a call that director Kim's mother-in-law died.

His mother-in-law? Where is the funeral?

Gok-seong in Jeolla-do. I should go, right?

Are you coming?

- Coming! - I'll call you.

How people die just like that?

His mother-in-law's funeral?

Go, Korea!

I'm hungry. Let's go to the cafeteria.

It's Jang Guk's treat today.

We made a bet on the Korea vs. Spain match.

Jang Guk went for Korea and I went for Spain.

I did my best to lose today.

- Then I'll go for Korea. - Germany. For 10,000 won, okay?

I'll go for Korea, too.

Things are looking good, my friends.

You're early.

Oh, you're late.

I'm here too.

Yes, I see you.

Did you mean it about making up?

I'm the one that's asking.

Is it still valid?

Let's be friends, Da-hae.

You were right. We were making our friends uncomfortable.

I don't believe it. The high and mighty Ju Da-hae!

Okay!

Mr. Heo must be sick.

I don't think so. He must feel stressed from the pressure.

He was here because he just likes our dumplings.

But you were so hasty. So of course, he doesn't want to come.

He doesn't need to be like that.

A man should be straightforward about saying yes or no.

He can just say he doesn't want to be involved like that.

He's a grown man, isn't he?

Go-sun, people all think differently.

You think like that, but Mr. Heo might think differently.

People are all the same, Mom.

He might think that we've been nice to him so far because of the business.

Fine. When I see him again, I'll tell him forget about it all.

I don't know if we will see him again.

Shall I call him?

Let it be. If things are meant to be, he'll come.

Don't fret.

Honestly speaking, I don't like him that much.

Really? Why?

I don't like how he's too soft.

But he's a Seoul guy.

My husband and Father were about as reserved as they come.

It's just personality.

Listen to me. Don't call him.

Okay, I got it.

When Guk finishes her exam and chooses her university,

let's move to another place with a good location.

She's going to Seoul National University!

You're being greedy.

She's my kid. I can be a little greedy. She was a top student in Busan.

Sure. Wanting the best for your kid is only natural.

Guk has a lot to live up to.

Of course. People can become whatever they want.

People have the right to dream and go for their dreams.

Hello.

This is the dumpling house.

- Yes. - I was calling because...

I'm out of town.

So you're not sick?

No, I'm not.

It's all good then.

I called because I was worried you might be sick and alone.

And about the franchise business, Mr. Heo.

Yes.

Don't worry about it. I don't want you to stress.

So you can't come to watch the Korea vs. Germany match?

You're out of town, right? Drop by when you're back.

Okay.

Bye, then.

Okay.

We should start the Choi Go-sun project.

That widow... Okay.

If Ms. Choi Go-sun calls us first, we go ahead with the project.

That was our final decision.

Shut up. We never stick to our decisions anyway.

So you don't want to do it? But the widow is all fired up to go.

You're asking for beating!

Watch what you say.

Oh, so you're Mr. College Graduate!

Oh, you're so refined. But you're a traitor and a jerk.

Do whatever you want. Even the rent deposit is going to run out this month.

We'll be kicked out onto the streets.

My house is out of the question because of my wife.

I don't know what to do so I hope you do.

I'm going, you twerp.

You get the start-up money.

Seven to three.

Halves.

Forget it, jerk!

Fine, then. Six to four.

Get it ready.

Okay.

Thank you.

Da-hae's father is in Gok-seong in Jeolla-do.

A co-worker's mother-in-law's funeral or something.

You should come on your own. Don't be at home all mopey.

Da-hae's out too, right?

My hair is a mess.

You don't have to look good for my husband.

Just put on a cap. It's the pub at the three-way intersection.

I don't feel comfortable around him.

It's not like he's a stranger.

If you don't come, I'll tell him all about your husband's secrets.

If you do, I'll never see you again.

Then come out to zip my mouth.

The kids are all out. We should have fun, too.

Is she coming?

Hello, ma'am.

- Mr. Heo! - That's right, it's me.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to watch the soccer game.

My staffs are watching the game together so I thought I'd send them some snacks.

Is it too late?

No. We have some left and we can steam more.

Then would you please? He will take them.

Sure. Can you help me, Mom?

Of course.

- I'll be watching the game. - Sure.

- Go on. You should help them. - Yes, sir.

No, no. There's nothing to help. Just watch the game.

Okay.

Yes. Please hang on.

Sir, it's the director.

Is there a problem?

What are you talking about?

Okay. I'll be there myself. Have everyone ready.

I'll drive you, sir.

No, I'll take a cab. You take care of the dumplings.

All right, sir.

Something urgent came up and I have to go.

Don't mind me. He will take care of everything.

Okay. But is everything okay?

The change... Hang on.

It's okay. Please keep the change.

Keep the change? Mr. Heo?

Take care, sir.

What's going on?

We just started construction on a pasta franchise in Myeong-dong.

I think there's been a problem.

If the opening gets delayed, it could cause a lot of problems.

Ms. Choi Go...

I mean, ma'am. Could I have a plate of dumplings first?

I hope we make it to the finals. Korea!

- You made it! - Hello.

I'm so glad you came.

Here. Have a drink.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Korea!

Korea!

What's to become of him?

Take him.

Mr. Kang. Ham-cho's here.

Ham-cho.

Don't just stand there. Carry him up.

Okay.

Ham-cho.

Your mom...

That poor thing.

The referee blows the whistle and...

Come on. It's okay.

That was so close.

The Red Devils here at the stadium are all very disappointed.

This couple looks like they're from Vietnam.

But the wife seems to be so upset over Korea's loss.

No need to worry though. Korea's soccer will go on.

- Hamy? - Alive and kicking.

Who would've guessed Korea would make to the semi-finals?

Da-hae! Da-dae!

It's okay! It's okay! It's okay!

Da-hae! Da-dae!

You saw, right?

That was my dad, right?

Do you know who that woman next to him was?

Mom!

Mom!

Hello.

Mom's not home.

Yes.

Hello.

No. That's not it.

You saw wrong! It's not!

Go. I'm home now.

Let's all go to your house.

No, it's okay.

You should go. Stay for a bit.

Yes, he can go home. Let me come for some coffee.

I want to be alone.

Okay.

I'll go then.

Her husband having an affair was aired on national TV.

Viewer rating would've been about 90%.

Everyone would've seen it except those in a coma.

What is he going to do?

What about Yeong-hui?

It was so weird to see people you know on TV.

It was, wasn't it? And that Vietnamese girl was pretty, right?

Is that all women think about? Even in situations like this?

They say if you look pretty on TV then you're really pretty.

Most people look like bloated and ugly.

Let's just go home.

Da-hae?

Is it Hamy?

Is that the girl dad is having an affair with?

Da-hae!

Mom.

Where are you?

Da-hae! Ju Da-hae!

Da-hae, pick up...

My heart feels like it's going to burst.

Hello, Yeong-hui.

Da-hae found out everything.

What?

Her bag is here at home but she's gone.

Beom-suk, where is my girl? Please find her for me.

Jun-su, Da-hae is gone.

- Where are you going? - To find Da-hae.

I'll call you back.

- Jun-su. - Yes.

Actually today...

I know everything. She saw it at school.

What are we going to do?

Do you know where she might be?

No, but I'll call our friends and look for her.

Don't forget that this is a sensitive matter.

- I'll get going. - Okay.

- Call us when you find her. - Okay.

What are we going to do?

Da-hae, Da-hae! My Da-hae...

Da-hae...

Da-hae!

Hello.

What? Da-hae?

What's wrong?

- Get off, Jang Guk. - Why?

I'll tell you after we get off. Come on and get off!

Come on!

Sir! Can you stop the car please?

Beom-suk?

Yes. Jun-su went to find her with some friends.

But she could be anywhere.

Stay calm and listen to me. Da-hae...

She saw it?

Yes, at school. I think Jun-su, too. He knew what was going on right away.

What am I going to do?

Can you think of where she might have gone?

I hope she didn't go to meet that jerk.

Shouldn't you call Da-hae's dad to tell him?

Don't even call him that!

He doesn't deserve to be called her father.

Korea!

Korea!

Hello? Jung-sik, it's me.

Did you see it too?

What should I do with myself?

It was broadcast all over Korea.

Da-hae's mom would've seen it too.

Jung-sik, what should I do about work? What?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Okay. I'll have time for self-reflection.

If Yeong-hui, I mean Da-hae's mom calls you,

then please speak on my behalf.

Yes, I don't know what to say.

I'm so sorry, Jung-sik.

Okay.

What should I do?

Korea!

- Mu-cheol! - What happened?

I'll tell you later. Let's find Da-hae first.

You go home, Guk. We'll look for her.

No, I want to look for her too.

I'll look around the academy building. You look around the school.

- Okay. - Take good care of Guk, Mu-cheol.

Okay. See you soon.

- Bye for now. - Okay.

This way.

Get your dumplings! Dumplings!

Write just the first 6 digits of your social security number.

Enjoy the food!

Help yourselves!

Don't forget to come to the place on the date written there.

Today it's only dumplings. But we'll give you cash on that date.

Can I have one more?

She's not at school.

- She wasn't around the academy building. - What now?

It's getting late. You should go home, Jang Guk.

Mu-cheol, can you see her home?

Okay, you?

Don't worry about me.

- Call me if something comes up. - Okay.

- Bye. - Okay.

Let's go. I'll walk you home.

I can walk home by myself.

I'm Jun-su's assistant so I do whatever he says, didn't you know?

- You still peeved about that? - Peeved? What's that?

- You still hold a grudge in your heart? - Of course.

A boy shouldn't be so petty. I told you I'm sorry.

Who says boys have to be generous all the time?

- Are you throwing a tamtrum? - What? A tantrum?

You know you're weird, right?

You can completely knock down a person in an instant.

- What do you mean? - Like you did before.

- Like when? - Like you did then.

Be specific. How am I supposed to know when you're talking about?

- Forget it. - Wait up.

Da-hae.

Da-dae, where are you?

She was staying here but she checked out a while ago.

Don't worry. She must've gone out to get some air.

She found out that Hamy was the girl her dad was seeing.

She must've felt so betrayed.

Does Da-hae know her well?

We met her in Vietnam when she was in 9th grade.

She's an only child so she thought of her as her own sister.

Even when she came back to Korea, they kept in touch.

How could I have not thought of Da-hae?

She's going be okay. She's a rational girl.

Da-hae.

Is that you, Da-hae?

Mom.

Where are you?

- Do you know where Hamy is? - What?

She's already checked out of her hotel.

Are you at Platz Hotel?

Yes.

Yes, Mom.

Yes. Platz Hotel?

Okay.

No, it's not far. I catch a cab there.

Let's talk when you get home. It's late.

Jun-su will come to get you.

We were all so worried that something might've happened to you.

Come home with Jun-su. Okay?

Okay.

Sit down.

Jun-su went to get her.

She said she'd come home with him.

Did she meet the Vietnamese girl?

She checked out already.

He must've hidden her somewhere. He's not a fool.

Ju Cheol-su! I want to kill him!

That bastard...

Just think of Da-hae for now.

Let's calm her first, then we'll think of what to do next.

Yes, honey. We found her.

Jun-su is going to bring her home. We'll go home together.

Okay.

If anything happens to my baby,

I'm going to chew him up into little pieces!

Mu-cheol.

- Do you know my house? - I was here before to bring you your phone.

But I don't recall telling you where I live.

Jun-su told me.

He did what?

You heard me.

I mean why did he tell you my house?

- So that I could bring you your phone. - You could give me more details!

Your phone was at Jun-su's house, right?

So?

He came to me so that I could give it to you.

- But you were alone when you came. - He left.

- Why? - I don't know.

Come on, Mu-cheol!

Ask him yourself. You're home now. See you!

- Okay. Thanks, Mu-cheol. - Sure.

Jun-su.

I looked for you everywhere.

Ju Da-hae...

I was so worried about you.

12 Years of Promise

Everyone saw you at the soccer game cheering with a young girl by your side.

Oh, my goodness!

Did you go home?

No.

Are you okay? Jun-su is only paying attention to Da-hae.

They've been a couple since kindergarten.

You can still score a goal even though there is a goalkeeper?

- Did Guk get home okay? - Did Jun-su get home okay?

What are you two doing? Don't ask me. Just talk to each other

Please take care of Da-hae.

What does he mean?

Doesn't this sound like a suicide note?

Hey!
