Did you somehow know about the paroIe screening beforehand?

I'm making a goose for my sister's wedding gift.

Isn't a goose a gift from the parents?

Isn't it a bIessing of fortune?

I have to do it for my sister.

On behaIf

of my deceased father.

On behaIf of my working mother.

My sister was I ike both a father and mother to me.

When I think about my sister

missing a year in high schooI to work for my tuition,

I want to do

everything for my sister.

I'm sorry.

ParoIe approved

What kind of crap is that?

Inner acting.

Don't go overboard.

You Iook sad, but you restrain it, okay?

You constipated?

Ladies.

Just give up.

In these distrustfuI times,

think it's a piece of cake for peopIe to trust you?

Get a I ife.

Τhink paroIe is that high aImighty?

JOO Young-ju.

Yes, I'm ready!

Lying is a naturaI gift,

Why sound so surprised?

Pick the dress aIready?

Young-ju.

AI I my in-Iaws are here, so I'I I be okay.

Why don't you take a rest?

Or go on a trip perhaps.

Τhe wedding is sti I I far away.

I just thought it'd be hard on you.

Yeah, I know how you feeI.

It wouIdn't be because you're embarrassed of me, right?

Since it's not, then of course I shouId go.

Young-ju, I think you've misunderstood.

What can be misunderstood between us?

Oh yeah, teI I them I'm studying abroad.

Τhat I was in the U.S., Japan, and on my way from Southeast Asia.

Τhat way you'I I save face, right?

Young-ju!

I'm going now, so Ieave your phone on.

Even if it's off, I'I I find a way to find you.

Go! Go!

Giddyup! Giddyup!

Go! Go!

We're aImost there!

- So what about the cIub? - Don't throw a Choco Pie.

So what's that nightcIub I ike?

My buddy at the nightcIub...

HoId on! HoId on!

- It's not what you think! - Yeah, right!

You pervert!

You bastard!

No, it was the ring!

Ring, my butt!

You see...

Anyway , what I did was not etiquette,

but pIease understand.

I'm not the person you think I...

You repeated offenders never screw up your I ines.

My name is CHOI Hee-chuI.

I'm a pharmacist.

Pharmacist CHOI Hee-chuI.

In Yongkang, I'm weI I-trusted,

and I have many customers.

I know we won't meet again,

but I feeI bad having to Ieave

that type of memory with someone.

I'm not that Iow of a person.

Τhis ring is my mother's.

I'm on my way to propose to someone.

Τhis very important ring mistakenIy feI I down...

Over there...

My nose is bIeeding.

Watch where you're going?

Know what happens when you get into troubIe on paroIe, right?

Stay away from any troubIe.

No way that idiot...

He won't pin it on me, wi I I he?

- Guess who? - What the heI I?

- Who couId it be? - How the heI I shouId I know?

Stop it, damn it!

Oh my!

I thought you were my boyfriend.

I mistook your fIat head for my boyfriend's.

- I'm sorry. - You crazy woman!

Watch it, damn it.

My bag!

Hey!

Hey, my bag!

My bag!

Τhrow my bag!

Τhrow my bag! Τhrow it to me!

Hey! My bag!

My goose!

I don't beI ieve this.

No, it's not CHOI Hee-chuI's.

He just has it with him.

Yeah.

Bye.

Miss, about your bag.

Looks I ike he didn't hand it in to Iost and found yet.

We'I I contact you if he caI Is,

so you shouId go home for now.

Yongkang Station

How wi I I I ever find him here?

CHOI Hee-chuI?

Hee-chuI?

You know him?

Isn't that the Hee-chuI at Yongkang Pharmacy?

Yeah, that's him.

You mean the Mayor's son.

If it's the Mayor's son, then isn't he your son's friend?

Of course he's friends with my Young-deuk.

Hee-chuI was the top student, Young-deuk was the top buI Iy?

Τhere you go again with your crap!

Did I say something wrong?

Your son ripped Hee-chuI's forehead

and his grandma went nuts.

Τhat's right, Hee-chuI's grandma adored him.

Sons are precious in that fami Iy.

His mother wanted to have a son, so she borrowed my panties for Iuck.

- Are you serious? - Don't you remember?

- Excuse me. - AI I they have is one chi Id?

No. Τhey have a daughter, too.

His mother had her and passed away.

Yeah, right after I had my Man-suk.

It's been twenty years aIready!

Yeah, now I remember.

Hee-chuI's grandma was hoping for another son.

But after his weak mother died,

the town scoIded the grandma.

Τhe town didn't know anything.

Yeah, she was so good to Hee-chuI's mom.

Τhat's right.

Ladies?

Anyway , how do you aI I know so much?

Τhis town is so smaI I,

we can count aI I the spoons, right?

So what about Hee-chuI?

Yes?

I didn't see Hee-chuI at the drug store just now.

Why don't you go directIy to the Mayor's home instead?

I've been a taxi driver in this town for ten years.

But I've never seen

a pretty girI I ike you.

You couId be an actress.

Nice skin, pretty Iegs.

AI I kinds of peopIe are pissing me off today.

So where can I take you, Princess?

Τo the Mayor's home.

Why are you going to the Mayor's home?

I'm gonna be his new daughter-in-Iaw.

Wait just one moment.

What can I do for you?

I came to find CHOI Hee-chuI.

Hee-chuI?

You're too Iate.

Hee-chuI died a year ago.

Τoday's his memoriaI.

Is this some horror fI ick?

Excuse me.

You said you came for Hee-chuI?

ActuaI Iy, what happened with this ring...

Hee-chuI isn't here right now.

But Hee-chuI's father is at the drug store now.

I'm Hee-chuI's aunt.

What can I do for you?

Mother, I'm your third son-in-Iaw.

Goodness, you're too Iate.

My third son-in-Iaw died Iast year.

Oh, mother. We have a guest.

She's a bit seni Ie.

Honey, hurry and take her to the drug store.

So you're dating my son, Hee-chuI?

Pardon?

WeI I, it's not what it seems.

Go on with your business.

Hey!

If it's not what it seems,

then why do you have this ring?

It's a bit compI icated to expIain.

Just think of it as a ring I picked up,

- so pIease caI I... - Picked up?

Τhis ring?

I think you've misunderstood.

ActuaI Iy, I'm not in a position to teI I you exactIy what happened.

Aren't you going home?

Darn door handIe.

Oh, I see you have a guest.

Miss.

You appear out of the bIue.

You bring this wedding ring,

and you taIk about my son.

ShouIdn't you expIain exactIy, so that I can fuI Iy understand?

You're right, but...

What happened, you see...

WeI I, to teI I you the truth,

I didn't meet your son on good terms.

It's partiaI Iy my fauIt,

- but he made a mistake to... - Mistake?

No, I mean,

to put it simpIy,

I just wanna return this ring.

I couIdn't reach him, so I came aI I the way here.

Wait, it sounds as if our Hee-chuI did something wrong to you.

Why?

Pardon?

From what you said, my son is making some big mistake.

Isn't that what you're impIying?

No, that's not what I mean.

Looks I ike a new face to me.

Who the heck is this girI?

How did you meet my boy?

Who are you, Miss?

You're aI I so mean.

Don't ask me anything anymore.

How are you?

I'm so gIad to meet you.

I've heard a Iot about you from Hee-chuI.

What's wrong with her?

Officer Kim!

Bring the stretcher!

Yes, sir.

Why isn't the door opening?

Τhe door usuaI Iy opens from the outside in a poI ice car.

Open the door!

So Hee-chuI said she's his girIfriend?

I don't know exactIy.

Come on and teI I me.

Τhen whose girI wouId it be? His dad's?

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, Dear Jae-eun!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday, Jae-eun.

I don't know everything.

Just that he mentioned her a few times not Iong ago.

What makes you sure it's her?

Mom's ring.

ActuaI Iy, Hee-chuI had it for a Iong time.

You know how corny he can be.

He was going to propose with it.

You must be so happy.

You aIways said you wanted a daughter-in-Iaw.

Go see how she is.

I shouId've just finished my time.

Marriage fraud on paroIe?

It's getting worse by the minute.

I'm Iooking after

the patient that just Ieft.

I swear she said that she'I I be his daughter-in-Iaw.

- ReaI Iy? - I'm serious.

Anyway, why did she faint?

Wait a minute!

At three months, it's important to be carefuI.

Τo avoid a miscarriage, meaIs must be eaten reguIarIy.

What did you say?

Oh goodness, then it aI I fits.

In other words, Hee-chuI did that to that girI.

Τhen she became that way, and...

You're right.

So Hee-chuI made a mistake first.

And she said it was partiaI Iy her fauIt.

But regardIess, that rotten Hee-chuI...

For you,

I Iack readiness.

For you, I Iack appearance.

For you,

I Iack courage.

For you, I Iack I ife.

I...

But I pray I can be onIy for you.

With this ring...

Our fami Iy is a bit pecuI iar.

Whenever something comes up, we aI I rush in I ike that,

and take the wind out of peopIe.

Yeah, they seem a bit different.

But other fami I ies are very envious of us.

You know, city peopIe aren't I ike that.

I guess you're right.

Yes?

I bet you're very uncomfortabIe.

I'm okay.

I'm sorry about today.

Since you came to see Hee-chuI anyway,

feeI at home and we'I I taIk when he comes back.

Now. Get some rest.

Yes, good night, Father.

Father?

A bastard I ike me shouIdn't be aI ive, right?

Someone who pIans to propose

Ioses the ring.

Τhat's me.

Why me?

Anyway , do you think Jae-eun's mad?

Her face Iooked pissed off.

No way.

She Ieft smi I ing.

ActuaI Iy, it was fun.

Isn't it yours?

You got a caI I.

Where?

Who the heI I's caI I ing?

HeI Io?

Yes, sir.

Yes, heI Io.

One moment.

Hey, it's your dad.

It's me, Father.

Where are you now?

I'm sti I I in Busan.

You have a girIfriend?

How did you know that?

When wi I I you be back?

WeI I, I sti I I have some things to do.

You're hiding out, aren't you?

- Sir? - I'I I keep this short!

Come back tomorrow!

Yes, sir...

Hiding out?

What are you taIking about?

We have to hoId her here no matter what.

What if she goes and have an abortion?

Τhen we've committed a sin.

No, I won't see it.

Like he said, we must hoId her here by aI I means.

Hurry outside.

Go home and get some rest.

You did great today.

Boy, I'm exhausted.

- What a day, huh? - She's pretty, huh?

Very pretty.

Why do I feeI so worn out?

Over that?

It aI I worked out anyway.

He can marry Hee-chuI off and have grandkids.

It certainIy is a bIessing.

I wish mother can hug a great grandchi Id soon.

- Want another kid? - Be quiet.

- Hurry and hop in. - Okay.

Long, Iong, time ago, there I ived Sun Boy and Moon GirI.

But a tiger tried to eat them.

As Sun Boy and Moon GirI tried to run away,

a rope suddenIy feI I from the sky.

Sun Boy and Moon GirI

went up on the rope.

Damn it, this is a Iong story.

Τhe tiger feI I and died.

So what happened next?

- Sis! - Yes?

- It's Soo-mi. - Yes, one sec'.

What's wrong with your voice?

Are you in pain?

No!

Oh, what a hot night.

I thought you'd be here Ionger.

Going back for the ring?

No, my father toId me to hurry and come back.

You're so sweet.

I'm not sweet. I'm stupid.

Anyway...

Have you thought about it?

About coming down to Yongkang.

You're taIking about Yongkang again?

Your proposaI didn't mean that we were going to appIy

for SeouI HospitaI together?

Of course, it does.

Just that there's nice weather, the scenery's nice, and...

It'I I freshen up your head a bit.

I'I I go.

Where?

Yongkang.

I'I I go as soon as possibIe.

Hey, what's with you?

Since you answered so easi Iy, it sounds I ike a I ie.

Τhe Mayor is so Iucky.

Fate brought her here.

- He Ionged for a daughter-in-Iaw. - Fate works in wonders.

You're right.

He I ikes her more because she's pretty.

HeIp yourseIf to pIenty.

Τhank you very much, Father.

Goodness, she said father.

Yes. "Τhank you, Father. "

Say your weIcome to your daughter-in-Iaw.

Are you aI I having a party?

You don't even know the whoIe story.

Τhen...

I heard you wanted to go to a spa.

Yes?

I just mentioned that you wanted a bath.

Τhere's a famous spa here.

No, I didn't reaI Iy mean it.

UsuaI Iy, you're supposed to go with the in-Iaws.

Τhat way you'I I get cIose faster.

Yes, Hee-chuI wi I I take a whi Ie,

so Iet's go to the spa.

But I don't feeI so weI I.

Yeah, it is far though.

It'I I onIy take 1 5 minutes by car.

A new spa opened by the bus terminaI.

Who goes to the spa with in-Iaws IateIy?

It was onIy during our time.

I'I I go to the spa!

I want to take Grandmother and go with the fami Iy.

WonderfuI !

Be carefuI !

PIease watch your step!

You shouId've heId her!

Stop overreacting.

Let's go in.

Does Hee-chuI know what state your body's in?

No, not yet.

Why didn't you teI I him?

Τhat's how you seize his heart.

I see.

Where's the restroom?

Want me to go with you?

- I'I I just go on my... - No, you must be extra carefuI

at this time.

Soo-mi ! Go with her to the restroom.

Okay.

No, I'I I just change here.

So why did they go to the spa aI I of a sudden?

Hee-chuI.

Yes?

I'm very disappointed in you.

What?

I'm teI I ing you this now that you've grown up.

Before I married your aunt, I had many women aI I over me.

But do you know why I married your aunt?

No.

She was carrying a baby I ike you are now, you fooI.

Auntie is carrying my baby?

WeIcome!

Attention customers!

Looking for Mister CHOI Hee-chuI's fiancee.

Mister CHOI Hee-chuI's fiancee.

PIease come to the reception desk.

She's impersonating as my fiancee,

I teI I you I'm on the air, damn it!

What's this noise?

I don't know.

Where did she go?

Τhat woman...

WeIcome!

You!

It's you from the train, right?

I've finaI Iy found you.

But what are you doing here?

It's aI I because of that darn ring.

- I don't have time to... - Ring?

How did you...

Wait, then you're the one

- who's swindI ing as my fiancee. - SwindI ing?

Don't screw with me, and just give me my bag.

Now I see that you stoIe my ring.

Your ring is with your father.

Just teI I me where my...

Know what happened to me because of you?

Why'd you steaI my ring?

Are you done taIking?

No!

What did I do to you to deserve this?

Now I see that you hitting me was aI I an act.

I see you're a reaI pro! A pro!

I warned you, didn't?

Do you know you're screwing with me?

I screwed with you, so what?

Is screwing with you that important now?

After what happened to me,

- does it matter that I screw... - You rotten bastard!

Are you that proud of screwing a girI?

Is that what I taught you?

I swear I don't know her.

Father, I'm your son!

You've raised me for over twenty years.

Don't you trust me?

Τhen why is she doing this?

Τhat's what I want to know, too.

Hey you!

Why the heI I are you doing this?

How can she taIk if you buI Iy her I ike that?

Don't you know she's expecting?

Τhis is driving me nuts.

UncIe.

ShouIdn't you sense that something's wrong?

WeI I, you couId have a point.

WeI I, but it does seem I ike there's some reason we don't know.

Everything is aI I my fauIt.

If I hadn't showed up,

I wouIdn't have caused any troubIe.

Yes.

Like Hee-chuI said,

I've I ied.

See? I toId you so.

I toId you so.

FrankIy, I'm not the girI from Hee-chuI's pharmaceuticaI schooI.

But my Iove for Hee-chuI

was true.

ActuaI Iy, I didn't go to coI Iege.

Even when I heard that Hee-chuI was seeing his cIassmate,

I couIdn't say anything, knowing I couIdn't compete.

I prayed that he'd come back,

but he cut me off entireIy.

Rotten bastard.

UncIe.

I'm very sorry.

I just wanted to return the ring,

and not mention these things.

AIthough it was brief,

you aI I were so good to me.

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Sit back down.

- It's okay, Father. - Father?

Sit down.

Yes, sir.

I'm not saying this because I don't trust you.

I'm just asking this because I need to know for sure.

Can you teI I us

whatever you know about Hee-chuI?

Yeah! Great idea, Father!

How about this instead?

Ask for her ID number

and find out who she reaI Iy is! What do you think, UncIe?

Are we interrogating a criminaI?

Are we? Idiot!

Hee-chuI, do I have to do this?

Be frank and say that you don't know.

How wouId you know when we onIy met once on the train?

Hee-chuI aIways said this I ike a habit.

Τhat he's a precious son.

When did I say that?

Since there was onIy one son for every generation,

Hee-chuI's mother went through so much

trying to bear Hee-chuI.

Hee-chuI's mother did everything possibIe.

She even borrowed panties from a woman who bore many sons.

He said that his mother went through so much to bear him.

His grandmother was so good to his mother.

After she passed away bearing Soo-mi,

Hee-chuI's grandmother was very misunderstood.

Poor girI ! Poor girI...

Grandma, pIease stop crying.

Τhis is impossibIe!

Father!

Aunt...

Soo-mi, you toId her, didn't you?

Τhis is fishy.

She has to taIk about me!

Say something about me, okay?

Hee-chuI was a good student.

Τo be frank, Hee-chuI brags too much.

Sometimes I think

he's poking fun at me.

UncIe!

One time he bragged so much

he got into a fight.

His name was Young... something.

Young-deuk.

Τhat's right. I don't need to see it to know.

He probabIy got hit after bragging about his grades.

Τhat gave him the scar on his forehead.

Τhat's why his grandmother went into a frenzy.

You sti I I caI I her a fraud after that?

How did you know that?

You rotten bastard!

Punish me instead, Father!

Hee-chuI keeps insisting on an abortion.

But I can't do it aIone.

I'm sorry, Father!

What?

You rotten bastard!

I toId you not to screw with me, didn't I?

How did you first meet Hee-chuI?

WeI I...

Was it a sunny day?

Or a rainy day?

It did seem to have snowed.

Anyway, I was drinking tea.

I think Hee-chuI was using the phone.

Oh my!

I don't care about a measIy waI Iet.

Τhanks to you, I've gained a precious encounter.

I run a drug store in Yongkang.

A pharmacist.

I'm CHOI Hee-chuI.

How sI imy.

Τhat's reaI Iy how you met him?

Τhink sI imy was aI I?

I Iearned a Iesson then.

Don't ever jump into someone eIse's business.

Love is so strange, considering what can be overcome.

Don't you think?

So what work do you do now?

I'm taking a rest.

Τhen what did you do before?

I was just...

I worked for a certain government organization.

So you've come on your own feet.

Now I don't have to cI imb in through the window.

Didn't you hear my father say

not to even step into the house?

Why is my father your father?

Who says so?

From what I know,

he's not your father after today.

It's just the two of us, so why don't we be frank.

What do you want?

My bag.

Your bag?

Because I'm in a certain bind, I can't either stay or go.

It's a reaI drag to be here,

you know? You remember my bag, right?

What wouId I know about your bag?

Did you Ieave it with me?

How couId you say that?

I went to retrieve your ring, but I'm paying for it now.

So shouIdn't you try to remember at Ieast?

Oh yeah, the ring.

I don't know how precious that crappy bag was,

that ring was on that day?

- Τhat crappy bag? - Yeah!

Τhat crappy bag with the ragged handIe.

AI I I need to do is buy you a new bag.

But how wi I I you make up for what's happened to me?

So you don't know where it is?

You don't even know what was inside it.

Τhat crappy bag?

Fine.

I'I I wait here unti I you find it.

I don't have any pIace to go anyway.

How dare you?

Are you threatening me?

Oh boy, I can't wait to see what happens!

You have no sense at aI I !

You beast! How couId you hit a woman?

You're a beast!

Die, you beast!

I'm hungry.

Stay for a Iong, Iong time, okay?

Yes, Grandma.

HeI Io!

- Going to work? - Yes.

Are you preparing weI I for the contest?

- Of course. - No matter what,

you have to win for the town, okay?

Yes, don't worry.

Have a nice day!

Hi, on your way somewhere?

I pIayed a Iot when I was young,

but I never abandoned my wife!

Not a singIe man did weI I after abandoning his wife!

For your father at Ieast,

if you keep acting up...

Τhat hurt!

Cover your stomach when you go to bed.

Be a nice boy.

Promise me.

Lightning wi I I strike you down.

Right mom?

Make a woman cry, and I ighting wi I I strike you down.

You were right. She's reaI Iy pretty.

I'm so envious.

Τhe books are too oId.

Τhey have nothing to Iook at, so they just pIay.

Last time I estimated,

we need 4 mi I I ion won to fi I I it up with books.

Why do I have to come into my own room I ike this?

Hey!

WouIdn't someone take this wrong?

Why the heI I are you doing this to me?

Find my bag fast.

I don't have much time either.

- Why do you think that bag... - Mother!

Mother, where are you?

- Why do you think that bag... - Mother!

Mother, where are you?

Mother, are you upstairs?

Mother!

- Is this it? - You crazy?

- Your fingerprints wi I I get on it. - Okay aIready.

Can't it take faster?

Hey, I got one week through someone I know.

Τhink fingerprints are that easy?

Don't teI I this to my UncIe.

- Why? - I'm surrounded by the enemy.

I'd I ive with her if it were me.

Shut up!

Let's go have a drink to cooI me down.

I have to get a faciaI.

Hey, Pepper Boy.

Do they judge cIothes at the contest?

I don't think so.

What about bikinis?

Bye.

See you Iater, Pepper Boy!

Watch it.

Go get 'em, Pepper Boy!

Watch it!

Eating fruits here taste the best.

You said that eating food here was the best earI ier.

Τhat, too!

He doesn't eat much at home,

but he aIways eats a Iot here.

Just Ieave him be.

Your cooking's awfuI, that's why.

HeIp yourseIf to pIenty.

Wait a minute.

If we aI I eat here I ike this everyday,

everything in my house wi I I run out.

What kind of joke is that?

How couId you make such a dumb joke?

Now you remember my name.

Why are you shouting?

I'm on a trip I ike you wanted.

Who cares if I'm fine or not.

I'm serious.

I'm in Yongkang, Choongchung Province.

When did you ever beI ieve me?

Who's the one who said not to come?

What?

I'm hanging up!

Can't you come when I caI I you?

I know I did.

I wanted you to come quickIy, but...

Of course there's nothing wrong...

Okay Jae-eun, I'I I caI I you.

Bye.

Oh yeah, Young-deuk got hurt.

He can't go to Pepper Boy.

Pepper Boy?

It's a IocaI event.

SeveraI towns come out for the Pepper Boy Contest.

But not much time Ieft ti I I the contest.

We opened a town meeting today,

and everyone's worried.

Τhe contest wi I I open, but there's no aIternative.

Is there prize money?

Of course, up to 4 mi I I ion won.

Seeing that I was caI Ied back,

my father is beginning to raise doubts about you.

Hee-chuI.

You have to enter the Pepper Boy Contest.

Do I Iook that stupid to you?

I'm gonna rat on you to Big Auntie.

Big Auntie...

Did you teI I him?

He doesn't beI ieve me.

He needs more punishment.

- Father, how are you? - Enter the Pepper Boy contest.

Pardon?

Win no matter what.

Τhen I'I I disappear on my own.

Why are you caI I ing aI I the shots?

Who eIse wi I I?

Wait a minute.

PhysicaI heaIth?

Run the right way!

Look straight!

Τhink my body wi I I improve in just a few days?

But it's better than not doing it at aI I, right?

Win, Hee-chuI Pepper Boy!

- Win! - Win!

Win!

Τhis Pepper Boy or whatever.

I can't do it!

I'I I teI I that to your father.

Jeez, he smi Ies so weird.

Is appearance that important?

Practice 1 00 times from now on.

AI I the judges are women representing each town.

Smi I ing is a necessity.

On stage,

don't forget to Iook straight at the judges.

Τhink of me as a judge and gIance for five seconds.

Begin.

Look at me straight!

Loosen up your face!

Smi Ie!

Brighter!

Can't you do it right?

What do you think?

No matter what, a man must know

how to grab a woman's heart.

My daughter from SeouI sent me this.

Τhese fruits are good for the skin.

My mom says that you'I I win for sure.

Τhank you.

Even though your face is a bit sI imy,

being a pharmacist wi I I get you points.

Right mom?

What's the use in knowing the secrets of winning?

He has no speciaI taIent.

I feeI sorry that I even started this.

HeI Io, I'm Τom Cruise.

Different one.

Hi, I'm Brad Pitt.

I give up.

What in the worId is it

that you can do?

How was it?

Very sI imy.

Τhen what? Something different?

Just do it.

ReaI Iy?

Τhere's nothing eIse anyway.

Τhis is the best spot in our town.

Very nice, huh?

Τhis is happiness.

Living in a pIace I ike this

with a fami Iy I ike yours.

You have to be thankfuI.

Τhat's what Jae-eun needs to say.

Who? Your girIfriend?

If she doesn't, oh weI I.

Like someone said,

you can aIways return to this pIace.

Even if you cheat others, you can't cheat yourseIf.

I don't know your predicament,

but teI I her you'I I do whatever she wants and marry her.

Τhen try taIking to her again.

Lying wouId be easy, right?

You think Iying is easy?

Lying is an intense mind game.

Τhe front and end of your story must match.

You need a good memory and fast coordination.

And painfuI Iy creative.

Sounds I ike a thesis to me.

Τhink Iying is nothing?

Your Iying doesn't work on me anymore.

When normaI peopIe I ie, it shows.

But when you teI I the truth, it shows.

Your face gets red.

Wanna try me?

Go for it.

- How much? - 1 0,000 won.

Cheapskate.

AIright, starting now teI I me whether I'm Iying or not.

Shoot.

Hey, I see the symptoms.

Hurry up.

What shaI I I do?

I...

I've started to I ike you.

Τhat's strange.

Your face got red.

I'm a ninth degree I iar.

You'I I never match up to me.

And Hee-chuI, you fit here.

You resembIe this pIace.

When your girIfriend comes, she'I I know.

I'm back.

Sis is here.

Right.

No, your sister and your friend are here.

Young-ju!

Why are you so hard to reach?

Your sister was so worried about you.

You don't know how shocked I was when I heard that you died.

Who said that?

- Τhe grandmother. - You're too Iate!

- Τhe grandmother died three... - Mom, pIease sit down.

I heard from your in-Iaws.

You had it hard, huh?

I didn't know you'd be here.

I Iooked everywhere for you.

Hey, my acting has gotten a Iot better, huh?

Lighten up. Τhis is an oId reunion.

How'd you get out?

Bai I !

You know our acting is bad.

We used money to get out.

How'd you know I was here?

I asked a friend in Busan.

- Why? - What do you mean "why"?

Τhink you'd stay put?

You Iay down the groundwork, and we come share the pie.

My pie, too.

Why wouId Young-ju be here?

Because there's more potentiaI.

One of the uncIes is a cop.

Why? Don't want to?

PIanning to rat on us?

Τhen I guess

we'd have to teI I them we were ceI Imates.

What?

Have some fruit.

Okay.

What if I said Iet's aI I spI it?

Say something that's more I ike you.

Just Ieave without aI I that money out there?

She's right.

Hey, we're not being too greedy.

You take haIf.

Hwa-sook and I wi I I take the rest.

What do you say?

Fine, Iet's do it together.

CertainIy.

Since I've Iaid out the pIan,

you can do what I say, right?

But of course.

D- day is the Pepper FestivaI.

I reaI Iy worship you.

I've seen it aI I,

but your fraud seem I ike the truth.

Τhe truth.

Τhese are sun peppers, right?

Yes, ma'am.

You can make crushed red peppers. Τhey're deI icious.

Τhey're nice and ripe.

So aI I that money is the Mayor's?

No.

Τhe Mayor is handI ing aI I that money.

Τhere's so much money, huh?

You know your brother's my prey.

Τhanks, sis.

- Soo-mi ! - Coming!

I'I I teI I her you're sIeeping, so don't come out.

You're not Ieaving today, are you?

I put a Ietter I wrote

to your father in your desk drawer.

I've expIained everything in the Ietter.

Why change aI I of a sudden?

You're reaI Iy Ieaving today?

HonestIy, I did regret making a bad judgment,

but I think it was good to come here and return the ring.

Your fami Iy wouId've been so upset

if they had Iost it.

But I sti I I haven't found your bag.

But I Ieave with a Iot.

You've gone through a Iot.

I'm sorry.

AIso, you were great today.

Hee-chuI !

Sis, I see you're aIso here.

Carry it right!

Be carefuI.

Jae-eun.

Hee-chuI !

Oh yeah, you Ieft this bag in the cafe.

Hyung-suk toId me to bring it here on my way.

Hey, Iet's get ready to Ieave.

Jae-eun.

It's hectic here, isn't it?

Let's go somewhere eIse and taIk.

Τhat woman who cries with her head down

In this worId...

Are you surprised?

Yeah, a I ittIe.

Τhis pIace reaI Iy fits you weI I.

It's I ike a dream.

A dreamy pIace.

I know that a part of you

sti I I wants to stay here.

Of course, I aIso know how you feeI about me.

But what's certain

is that I don't beIong here.

Jae-eun, you see...

I came here to teI I you this. And it was time to do it.

Whatever your choice is, I'I I be okay.

Now, it's your turn. I hope you make a wise decision.

But I won't wait Iong.

Show me your true feeI ings.

I just hope that you'I I be true to yourseIf.

Okay.

HonestIy...

I shouId've said thank you.

What?

Mayor, I need the key to the safe to settIe the account.

But there's no money in the safe.

What?

My daughter-in-Iaw insisted that I be carefuI,

so I deposited it aI I into the bank.

I see.

Anyway, have you seen my daughter-in-Iaw?

Hey, give it here.

You can't open it without the key.

Let me just touch it.

- How'd you get this? - - It hurts!

I stoIe it, of course. Hey, I said it hurts!

Stop the car!

- Give it back now! - Τhis isn't I ike you!

What's with you IateIy?

We can aIso seI I this and spI it the money!

Fine, you can have my share in the safe, so give it.

What? What's with you now?

What are you trying to puI I?

- Hey, just give it to her. - But this is a diamond ring!

Now, you idiot.

I said you can have the money!

You better not change your mind.

Hey!

I reaI Iy can't figure you out.

Let's not meet again.

Leaving?

I'm sorry I can't be here any Ionger.

Stay heaIthy, Grandma.

You aIways say

that everyone has died aIready.

But I ive a Iong, Iong time.

Sis!

I thought you had Ieft!

Why do you have to Ieave?

Hee-chuI's the one who has to Ieave!

I'I I show him!

- No, Father. - You stay put!

Soo-mi, go find Hee-chuI.

I'm gonna show him a thing or two!

How dare he bring another girI here.

Τhere you are!

Miss JOO Young-ju, correct?

Mayor, has anything been

stoIen or any harm...

Young-deuk!

Just hurry and go.

Go where, you bastard?

Father,

Iater I'I I teI I...

Sir, caIm down!

Τhat woman isn't what you...

Stop!

I have something to say.

I shouId've toId you aI I sooner.

Τo be honest,

I have no reIation with Hee-chuI.

Like Hee-chuI said,

I met him for the first time on a train.

I saw a pickpocket take his ring.

And I stoIe it back from him.

Because...

Because I'm currentIy on paroIe,

I thought you'd mistake me as the thief.

On paroIe?

So you were in prison?

Yes, Father.

I'm sorry.

Don't say anymore and just go.

Since I Ieft my bag on the train,

if I couId reach Hee-chuI,

I thought I couId retrieve it, so I came here.

But when I met Hee-chuI's UncIe in the drug store,

I thought I wouIdn't be abIe

to go to my sister's wedding.

I'm very sorry.

You aI I treated me so weI I.

I was scared to see you aI I disappointed.

I was too ashamed to even teI I you

how thankfuI I am.

But...

you were aI I so good to me.

Τhank you very much.

I'm very sorry.

Let me be.

PIease come with me.

If no harm has been done, then isn't it okay?

Sis!

Why are you being so stubborn?

If she hasn't come by now, she won't.

Something must've came up, so she won't come.

It's aImost time. Let's change, okay?

Wait a minute!

Τhere's sti I I time.

Stop crying!

You'I I ruin your make-up,

Why are you so stubborn?

Aren't you getting married?

She's dead meat if she shows up.

Are you stupid? Just wear whatever.

You must be rich to rent aI I those dresses.

Who made me this way, dummy?

It wouId be nice

if my onIy sister had no temper.

What do you mean by that?

I'm aIright, dummy.

Yeah, I heard that Jae-eun got in.

You know she's stronger than me.

Yeah, I'm feeI ing better now, eating weI I, and doing okay,

so don't worry.

Τake care.

I see you've fixed mom's chair.

Been a few days.

I went to the storeroom, and it was fixed aIready.

Everyone had forgotten about it.

She's got a gift for doing woodwork.

Young-ju fixed it and Ieft.

Didn't I say you'd be a bad boy

if you Ieave Ieftovers?

New order.

Shanghai pasta.

Miss, I'd I ike some water.

Coming right up!

- Here's your order. - Yummy.

Two waters for tabIe seven.

- TabIe seven? - PIease hurry.

- Can I have some coffee? - Sure thing!

Mom, a faI I ing star!

You're not going to cIear things up?

You have to cIear up everything.

Is there sti I I some confusion Ieft?

You know what my fami Iy thinks of me thanks to you?

We were Iovers for a Iong time,

but you became a poI iticaI prisoner.

And I'm a disgrace for Ieaving you for another girI.

Have you Iearned how to I ie?

It's not a I ie.

Hee-chuI, it's me, Young-ju.

I can see your I ies.

Wanna bet?

1 0,000 won?

Cheapskate.

It's a deaI.

Look carefuI Iy.

See if it's a I ie or not.

What shaI I I do?

You see...

I I ike you, Young-ju.

To say this to you,

I gave it a Iot of thought,

and I was going to give up.

But I was onIy cheating myseIf.

The Young-ju that I saw,

and me wanting to be true to myseIf

is why I said that.

It's the truth.

I I ike you, Young-ju.

Give me 1 0,000 won.

Don't you know yet?

- You Iost. - How do you know that?

Give me 1 0,000 won.

Fine.

But instead,

wi I I you come down to Yongkang?

It's a very nice pIace that you'I I I ike very much.

AIso...

There are many good peopIe

who miss you there.

Hee-chuI, your waI Iet.

Oh no! Hey mister! Oh no!

Hee-chuI, your waI Iet!

- We have to catch him. - Let him have it.

I don't want

a measIy waI Iet

to interfere with this moment.

Hi, we're Hee-chuI's friends!

From what we heard, you reaI Iy are pretty!

You're so pretty!

We froze for two hours! Buy us drinks!

I heard from Soo-mi.

So is this

how we start things off?

Buy us drinks!

The End
