[Answer Me 1988]

[Year 1988]

Today, January Third, which is the last day of the New Year Holidays

[Year 1989, Seoul, Dobong-gu, Ssangmundong] millions of people who returned to their hometowns are now returning to Seoul.

Looking at the current traffic reports highways, there are only a few delays.

This is due to the fact that less people are going to their hometowns on the

same day, due to the fact that we now celebrate the New Year for three days.

The government has now changed the name of the holiday

from "Folklore Day" into "The New Year."

Stop eating so much so late! You'll fart up a storm later!

Geez... the New Year's holiday is over, and I have to go back to work tomorrow...

I just want to hit somebody.

It'd be nice if banks had vacations too, huh? Right, Dad?

Life really feels like it's worth living because there's no school.

You'll be a junior in high school soon!

Don't you dare sink any lower than 1000th place.

What about Duk Seok? She's in 1000th place too.

Even so, she's never gotten lower than 1000th place.

She's better that you are, at least.

Yeah. Last month, Duk Seon jumped up 10 ranks.

You little... speaking of which, where's our little Miss 989th Place?

Dooly Supermarket to buy snacks.

Wow, that girl has no fear.

There are so many dangerous street crimes lately.

What's with you?

Damn it... hey, you surprised me!

Why the hell were you following me?

What are you talking about? This is my house.

Then make some noise when you walk or something!

What do you mean? Who does that?

Hey, I was about to call out to you too.

But you walked so damn fast! Is someone following you?

You! You! You did!

Who the hell followed who? I was just walking home!

- What's with you? - I don't know! Whatever!

- Hey! - What?

Good night.

You bought it, Duk Seon?

- Here. - Thank you!

What about Sung Bo Ra?

Bo Ra? She's on a date.

What? Didn't they break up?

I think they got back together.

Oh. So he's her first love, eh?

Duk Seon. Who sings this song?

It's awesome.

On the radio? It's Zoo.

Can't you tell?

What's the title?

That was Zoo's "Hyehwa-dong."

Listeners of "Starry Night," I have some great news.

"Starry Night," which began in 1969 is now 20 years old this year.

So we at "Starry Night" had a bit of an outrageous idea.

You're all curious as to what it may be, right?

"Starry Night" and musicians who love our shows

are planning to have a "Starry Night Jam Concert!"

I can hear our audience crying out all the way from here.

Yes, I hear it all the way from MBC's office.

Since this is our first Jam Concert

a lot of great musicians from all over Korea are coming to help us celebrate.

First, on the guitar is Lee Chi Hyun and Lee Moon Sae on the second guitar!

Oh, yeah!

On the drums, Kim Soo Chul!

Wow!

On the piano, Woo Soon Shil!

On the synthesizer, Kim Chang Nam!

Oh, and this person... he was really hard to get.

On the bass guitar, Masam Trio's Lee Soo Man!

Wow.

We have one more special...

Did you hear? Lee Soo Man is playing the bass.

The lineup sounds awesome!

A new comedian at "Starry Night," Lee Kyung Kyu!

Hey! The new comedian, Lee Kyung Kyu is joining them, too!

Who's funnier, me or him?

Sun Woo.

You're not sleeping?

The floor is really warm.

Go home and sleep.

Your house is warmer.

Would you be able to sleep in the teacher's lounge, even if it were warm?

I'm sleeping.

Would you sleep in the teacher's lounge?

Weirdo.

Anyone who loves "Starry Night" is welcome!

Okay. Let's meet at the convention hall

at Hanhwa 63 City at 8:00 p.m. on January 11th.

Now, with that bit of great news, here's the last song.

He's the eldest of the Masam Trio

and the one taking on the bass at our Jam Concert.

He went to the States for a bit to buy a bass guitar.

Here's Lee Soo Man's "Happiness."

I don't see Mr. Choi today.

Why isn't he out today?

Taek!

Where's your dad?

Hello!

Where's your dad? He's not sweeping like usual.

He went to Gimhae. His best friend passed out.

Oh no.

Then come over, Taek! Let's have breakfast together.

I made braised short ribs!

Ah... yes!

Madam, me too.

Did your mother go somewhere?

No. I just want to eat braised short ribs.

Is my place the Red Cross or something?

What's that?

It's a charity.

Oh.

Speaking of which, why are you here, Dong Ryong?

Go eat at your own place! You guys are well off, too.

My mom left for work early, and the dean's making curry.

How could I not come, when there's braised short ribs?

How did you know that there were braised short ribs here?

I can hear everything from my room. Your father went to Gimhae?

Let's watch a video in your room today.

Madam!

Oh, you're here?

Hey, come and eat.

No thanks. I already ate.

Can you tell your mom that we enjoyed the japchae?

Sure.

Oh yeah. They're having the Starry Night Jam Concert next week!

Let's go together.

It's not pronounced "Jam," it's "Jem."

Good for you.

Anyway, let's go! Lee Moon Sae, Lee Chi Hyun, Lee Soo Man!

And... naturally... boing! Lee Kyung Kyu!

Boing!

I'm down.

What about you?

I have a competition.

I want to go too, but I can't.

- I have... - Whatever. Don't care.

Dong Ryong, let's go.

I'm going to Jeju Island next week to visit my older brother.

What the hell?

So you guys want me to go alone with Jung Hwan?

Let's go next time, then.

I'm going.

Just come. I thought you liked Lee Moon Sae.

Mom!

Where's the crispy rice?

Didn't you say you bought concert tickets too, Sun Woo?

For a Lee Sun Hee concert?

Lee Sun Hee?

The one who wears round glasses?

Wow... how do you know who Lee Sun Hee is?

I thought you only knew Deulgukhwa.

Sun Woo lent me some of her tapes.

When's the concert?

The 28th. But you can't come.

What?

I only have two tickets.

Who are you going with, then?

Thanks, Sun Woo.

What are you saying? You can't come either.

I have someone I'm going with.

What are you doing here?

Bo Ra. Come to the Lee Sun Hee concert with me.

I don't want to. Why would I?

It's just a concert ticket. It has no deep meaning behind it.

Even so, I'm not going with you.

I held back all this time because I know you're a good kid.

Yeah... you're going through puberty, so this kind of thing is normal.

That's why I let you off the hook, but... but I won't be so generous anymore.

Stop messing around.

You're only my younger sister's friend to me.

To me, you're just Duk Seon's friend.

So... don't cross the line anymore.

The fact that you keep doing things like this makes me annoyed and uncomfortable.

[Episode 9: What it Means to Cross the Line]

Wow... that was freaking awesome!

- They were right next to me! - Ow!

Stop it! That hurts!

What's with you?

It's so cold.

So why'd you wear a skirt?

Geez... you have no common sense.

How would you go on without me?

What are you talking about?

You know, since you seem to live off the joy you get from tormenting me!

Also, when a girl says she's cold, a guy should give her his jacket or something!

Are you crazy? Why should I?

Um... I'm sorry, but could you take a photo of us?

Yes, of course.

Um.... I'm taking it now. Okay... one, two, three!

Thank you. I'll take one for you two, too.

- Oh, no thank-- - Yes, thank you.

Can you two stand a bit closer?

I'm taking it now.

Um... a bit closer, if you will.

Can you just hurry up and--

I'm taking it now!

One, two, three!

[December 2015]

I think he must have liked me since then.

Look at how he put his hand on my shoulder.

Look at that expression. He's so happy.

Well, she was pretty back then.

What about now, honey?

Want me to pass you a mirror?

Ow! Hey!

What's this?

He's had the store closed for so long.

He's the type to keep the store open even on holidays, though...

Sun Young!

- Yes? - Come in. Let's play cards.

Cards? Okay!

Let's play!

How could this happen?

That bastard and I were supposed to go to Jirisan next month...

Moo Sung.

Are we already at this age?

Is 45 years old really an acceptable age to die?

His young girl is just 10 years old.

There's no set order when it comes to dying.

This is just the way life is.

What's the point of living intensely?

People live and die in a day.

Let's see here...

All right!

I don't see Jung Bong around. Did he go somewhere?

Oh. He went to a Buddhist temple.

A Buddhist temple?

Why? Is he sick again?

No. He said he's just going to get some fresh air.

I guess he wants to think about a lot of things on his own.

- Oh. - He really likes Buddhist temples.

He's the only Buddhist in our family.

Even so, I'm sure the food there won't suit his tastes.

Do you know what Jung Bong likes most after ramyun?

- Huh? - Herbs and greens.

He goes nuts for bibimbap with greens and herbs in it.

It's not easy to gain weight on herbs and greens either, you know.

Um, excuse me, sir...

I'll have just one more bowl.

Peace be with you.

Ms. Kang Man Soon! Are you there?

Excuse me.

Why are you looking for Kang Man Soon?

Are you Kang Man Soon?

No, I'm not, but I live here.

Oh, you live here, ma'am?

What's your name?

Kim Sun Young.

Oh. And what's your relationship with Kang Man Soon?

She's my mother-in-law.

Can you sign here, please?

Right here.

[Seoul District Court, Northern Branch]

What is this?

It says that our house will be auctioned off!

What is all this?

Ms. Kang Man Soon put your house up as collateral when taking out a loan.

Excuse me?

What do you mean by that?

Ms. Kang Man Soon didn't repay her debt to the bank

so we're foreclosing your home.

The amount you'll need to reclaim it is... let's see...

10 million won.

If you don't pay us 10 million won by the first of next month

the court will proceed with the foreclosing process.

You still have time, so you just have to pay us back by then to nullify this.

Why should I repay money that I didn't even borrow?

Please stop saying nonsensical things... they have no authority to do this!

Please cancel this auction or foreclosing thing, right now!

The property is under Ms. Kang Man Soon's name.

Thus, she's the homeowner and there are no issues on our end.

The home is only hers by name! This is my house!

This is the home that my husband gave to me!

Please discuss that with the person who took out the loan.

I'll be hanging up now.

Hello? Hello!

What do I do now?

Mother-in-Law! How could you do this?

How will we live now?

Am I supposed to just let my child go to jail?

Are you saying that we're strangers now?

The person who was hurt is dying

but they said that we just had to pay them to keep my child out of jail.

Would you feel better if they went to jail instead?

Even so, you should have left this house alone! How could you do this?

Oh my, how could you not even have 10 million won?

Just how do you manage to use up all of my son's pension?

I don't know if you're going to host clubs or seeing other men, but...

don't forget that you're doing that with my child's own life.

What a fate you have.

You live in my house, and receive my son's money.

What a nice life you live.

Anyway, whatever.

Send the kids to my place when the place gets foreclosed.

I can raise them so much better than you ever could.

What the hell is this?

What do I do?

What do I do now?

How could this happen?

Why do I miss you so much? Why can't I see...

Huh, this is really easy.

Wow... you really can't dance.

How could you be that bad?

You do it, then!

Why do I miss you so much?

Why can't I see myself?

I'm sure you know how I feel...

You can't do this?

You piss me off.

- Duk Seon. - Yeah?

Call Taek. Tell him to come eat dinner here.

Even so, come eat dinner here. You have to have dinner, at least.

It's okay. I don't have an appetite.

Okay.

He says he doesn't want to eat!

I guess he's holed up in his room again! Leave him be, Mom.

I'm sure he'll feed himself if he gets hungry.

Give this to him, and don't you dare spill it on the way there!

Tell him to eat it while it's hot!

Taekkie sure knows how to inconvenience other people...

Geez... so annoying...

Where are you going?

I thought you said you weren't having dinner.

I want to rest my head a bit.

Is that mine?

Yeah.

Let's eat together at my place then.

Okay. Give that here.

Choi Taek.

What's with you?

Why, what did I do wrong?

Aren't you cold?

Your house is right here, though It's fine.

Geez... you're always making me worried about you.

Hurry it up.

We're getting to the end of Pop Top Ten.

Here's the song that's been on top of the charts for five weeks in a row!

Here you are.

Eat up.

When is your father coming back?

Tomorrow morning.

He said he's left the store for too long.

I guess he must have been really close to him to have left his store that long.

They were like the Three Musketeers.

My Dad, Mr. Tae Yong, and the one who passed away.

Is that right?

Thank you for the meal.

Sure! Eat up!

Hello?

Yeah. Yes. What's up?

Okay, hold on. I'll be right over.

I'm going to Sun Woo's for a bit. Eat up, Taek.

- Yes. - If you want more rice, ask Duk Seon--

I'm helping him out! He doesn't eat that much.

[Seoul District Court, Northern Branch Decision]

That mother-in-law is just too much.

What about her grandkids? She wants to throw them on the street?

She says that she'll raise them.

And she said if I don't like that

I should sell this house and move to a smaller one.

What a twisted old bitch!

Geez... she pisses me off!

But where will you get 10 million won? Geez...

You have to give it to the bank by the end of this month?

Yes.

If I repay the money to a nice bank by the end of the month

they said that the foreclosure thing will automatically disappear.

She's basically telling me to go die.

I barely manage to scrape by every month with 300,000 won.

Where will I get 10 million won?

She's telling me to go die!

Geez... if it were just a couple million won, I could do something...

but I spent a lot last month on Jung Bong's surgery so I don't have much.

Even so, I'll try my best to try and get some money for you.

I have about 2 million won that I hid away from my husband.

I'll go and borrow money from some people I know.

No, no, it's fine!

Please don't say things like that.

I have a sense of decency.

I'm sure the money I've borrowed from you both amounts to a lot as it is.

This time, I'll try and figure something out of my own.

And if it doesn't work out, it can't be helped.

I'll have to move out.

Sun Young. It's okay.

You don't have to feel ashamed by feeling indebted to others.

It's okay to feel that way.

It's okay.

I...

I'm really okay.

I'll take care of it.

Missus.

Isn't life... and this world... so unfair?

Even though I borrowed money here and there from you two...

I've never taken out huge loans

or been hugely indebted to others all my life.

And what about my Sun Woo?

Geez... he hates seeing me suffer so he doesn't want me doing dishes

or doing other part time jobs.

And because of that

he's never asked for brand name goods his whole life.

Yeah. Where could you find a better child than Sun Woo?

It's because you raised him so well.

Even though I've lived like that...

I've lived like that all my life...

but even so, it seems that the three of us

will be cast out into the streets in this cold weather.

Sun Young.

Madam... is life so hard for just me?

Huh?

Why is mine so difficult?

Mom, your son's home!

You're here, my son?

You're hungry, right? Wash up. I bought some tangerines for you.

Okay. What about Jin Joo?

She's already asleep.

Mom, you go to sleep first. I'll go to sleep later.

Is your wrist okay? I told you to go to the doctor.

Yeah, I'm fine. I'll go.

Geez... you always say you will, but you don't...

I'll really go!

Stop worrying so much.

Should I bring you the tangerines to your room?

Yeah.

[Sun Woo's College Fund]

Wow!

Hey, Mr. Choi!

When did you get back?

How about a drink this evening?

Are you alone?

You're making Wehgatjip, right?

If you just put this in, it becomes nice and spicy!

Wehgatjip Ramyun, which has a soup packet!

Wow... it's already 6:00 p.m. Tour of Duty is on, huh?

How does time pass by so quickly on Sundays?

Um... I'm going out for a bit. Have dinner and go to sleep early.

You're going out to drink again, aren't you?

Geez... the important thing isn't the alcohol.

Mr. Choi's friend abruptly passed away.

So it's to console him, not because I want to drink.

Nice excuse you've got there.

How do you manage to find so many reasons to go drinking?

Geez... that's a real talent you've got there.

Geez. I told you... today, it's really all about consoling Mr. Choi.

I'll just have one glass and come home.

So have dinner and go to sleep early.

No Eul, help out your mother.

I'll bet he's so sad!

Have a safe night.

I'm sure he won't even be in the right mind.

Geez!

Mr. Choi! I'm here!

Hey! Mr. Choi! Mr. Choi!

Mr. Choi! Mr. Choi! Wake up!

Hey! Hey! Mr. Choi!

Mr. Choi, wake up! Mr. Choi!

Mr. Choi!

What a close call. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Geez...

I was so shocked...

Even if you'd brought him 30 minutes later, he would have become a vegetable.

Oh my God... Is he okay now?

Yes. Thankfully, you discovered him early

so he doesn't have any life-threatening conditions.

He almost died.

- Oh my... - Oh my...

Um... but a brain hemorrhage surgery is a big deal.

Did his surgery go well?

He has high blood pressure, so he should've been more careful.

Even so, there wasn't too much hemorrhaging, so the surgery ended well.

- Oh, thank you so much. - Thank you so much.

He'll regain consciousness soon.

We'll have to continue monitoring him, but he'll be able to eat and talk soon.

- Oh my... - Oh my...

His hands may tremble.

This is a common symptom after brain hemorrhages, so you don't need to worry.

If he takes care of himself well, it'll cease after time.

- Yes. - Yes.

At any rate, you saved his life.

It's very rare that a brain hemorrhage patient is discovered so early.

Oh... yes.

He's such a nice guy so I guess he was blessed.

- Thank you, Doctor. - Yes.

Then...

Geez... what a relief.

I feel so bad for him.

He doesn't have a wife, and I can't reach Taek...

Hey, you heard what he said, right?

Alcohol saved his life!

Oh, all right, already.

Can you call the Baduk Club one more time?

Oh!

When are you going to the hospital?

I was about to head out soon. What's that?

Oh, I made some rice porridge. I thought anything else would be too much.

He can eat starting today, right?

Yes, he'll be allowed to eat starting this evening.

Oh, really?

Then I'll have to grill him some croakers when it's my turn.

I'm sure fish would be better than red meat.

Wow, I'm sure he'll be so happy, eating croakers!

But... he didn't hire a personal nurse, right?

Probably not.

I don't know what he's planning to do with all the money he has.

It'd be so convenient for him to have a personal nurse.

We can make him food, but I'm sure

it'd be really difficult for him to use the bathroom and wash up.

It's because he's always been alone.

I'm sure Taek will be in and out. He takes good care of himself, so...

you don't need to worry.

Wow, looks delicious.

- Wow, look at this. - It's nothing much.

Looks yummy.

Geez...

Mr. Choi Moo Sung? I'll be taking your blood pressure.

Why are you sitting up? I'm sure you're dizzy.

Your guardian isn't here?

Your hands will be shaking a lot

and you'll be very uncomfortable for the time being.

Oh, I do have one... my son.

Oh... the famous one?

But... I heard he's very busy.

The doctor told me that he just met him today.

Your father is a very lucky case.

When people usually pass out from blood hemorrhages

they're rendered paralyzed or become aphasic

but your father was very quickly discovered

so he'll have no time re-assimilating into society.

The surgery ended well, too.

He'll be able to be discharged after a week or so.

Thank you.

We've overcome a huge hurdle so don't worry too much.

All you have to do is take care of him well from here on in.

Yes. Thank you, doctor.

Um, also...

can I have your autograph?

Oh... yes.

I'm fine.

Really.

They said that you almost died.

I almost became an orphan.

I can't leave you behind so easily.

Hey.

Everything ended without a hitch, so don't worry and focus on your own stuff.

Get a personal nurse, Dad.

Geez... my limbs are fine, so why would I need one? No.

I'm going to China this week.

I won't be by your side, so how will you manage on your own?

Geez... the ladies come by once a day.

I'm fine, so worry about your own stuff. Okay?

But... what do we do?

I heard that Mr. Lee from the Baduk Club

won't be able to go with you this time, either.

Then I'll have to go to China with you.

It's fine.

The chief is coming with me. And I'll be fine if I go alone.

But even so, someone has to stick by you and take care of you.

Just worry about yourself.

Mr. Guardian? We have to take care of the subtotal for the hospital fees.

Yes.

- Yes? - Hey, you! I'm here!

- The one who saved-- - Hurry up!

Hello!

Oh, you're here?

Speaking of which, are you feeling okay?

Are your hands shaking a lot?

- I've gotten a lot better. - Oh.

Ms. Mi Ran made you some rice porridge.

Have some with some doenjang soup.

Oh, thank you.

Oh yeah. If you want anything, let me know.

I'll bring it to you on my way home from work.

I do have one request.

Since you've saved my life, can I ask you for one more favor?

But... why her?

There's Jung Hwan and Sun Woo too.

Duk Seon?

Our second daughter? Ms. 989th Place?

You're talking about Duk Seon right now?

This time, Taek is going to China

and I was wondering if she could go with him.

When he goes abroad for a competition

Mr. Lee from the Baduk Club or I always go with him

but this time, neither of us can make it.

If someone doesn't take care of him, he's like a corpse in his room.

He doesn't come out at all.

So... all she has to do is make sure that he eats.

Oh my. You must not be in your right mind.

That girl is a total idiot who doesn't know anything.

Duk Seon will do well.

And Taek will be more comfortable with her than with anyone else.

But there's Jung Hwan and Sun Woo, too.

Those two will be seniors in high school soon, so they have to study...

Oh, no.

That's not... what I meant to say was... um...

- that is... - No, no, I get it.

What you're saying is right.

The only kid on our block who doesn't study is Duk Seon.

No, that's not it.

It seems that it takes a while for guys to get their passports.

They said that it takes a couple of months.

But Duk Seon is a girl

so she can get one in a couple days if the Baduk Club helps out.

Oh... if it's difficult, you don't need to send her.

I just asked, just in case.

No, it's nothing like that... it's just because I feel bad for Taek.

Taek's scary when he gets angry, isn't he?

No. Taek likes Duk Seon.

I'm sure that the two of them will get along fine.

I'll bet Taek feels so ashamed.

Who's taking care of who, exactly?

Duk Seon. Where did you get that suitcase?

From Taek's room.

What about the camera?

It's Taek's.

Thieving bitch.

It's okay. He won't notice anyway. He's an idiot.

How can you call your older sister a thieving bitch, you bastard?

[Guangzhou, China TV Baduk Asia Championship Finals]

Wow... why all the luggage?

Is this all yours, Miss?

Oh, yes. It's my first time abroad, so...

I brought everything just in case.

Oh.

You're friends with Choi Taek, 6-dan?

Yes. We're neighbors. We're childhood friends.

Oh... Master Choi has such a cute friend. I'm jealous.

Are you his girlfriend?

Excuse me? What are you saying?

We're just friends.

But, um... are you from the Baduk Club too, Mister?

Do you play Baduk too?

These two are reporters.

Oh.

Wow... as to be expected, your cameras are awesome!

This guy here is a newbie too.

It's his first time abroad.

It's the first time abroad for you too, right, Mr. Yoo?

I've been to Japan once or twice before.

Here are your room keys.

This concludes your check-in process.

Oh, thank you.

We all can use the same room.

This one is for Ms. Duk Seon... room 403.

And this one is for Master Choi... room 405.

I asked them to give you two rooms that are right across from each other

so it'll be easy to go back and forth.

Also, this is a spare key for Master Choi's room.

Hold onto this, Duk Seon.

He passed out in his room one time, so keep it just in case.

Ah... yes.

This is your room key. Room 405.

Okay.

We've decided to have dinner at this hotel's Chinese restaurant.

You just need to come to the lobby by 6:00 p.m.

I'll head up first. I'll go on ahead.

I'll come get you by 5:55 p.m.

He won't come.

He doesn't eat before matches.

And during competitions in China, he really doesn't eat much.

He can't digest well, and the food doesn't really suit his palate.

He's a bit sensitive before matches.

Mister, um...

do they have tangsooyook (Korean-Chinese fusion dish) here?

I bet it'll be delicious.

Yeah. Sure.

Wow... what the heck?

Can I eat all of this?

Yeah. Hurry and sit.

Yes!

How's Master Choi?

He says he'll eat later.

I knew this would happen.

Even so, he would've acted like he were eating if his father were here.

Is this place famous?

They make great food here.

This city is near the sea, so they make great fish dishes.

What other restaurants have good food?

I heard that there's a famous Japanese place around here.

Oh... the place across the street? The sushi place?

It is famous, but we can't go there.

How come? Can't we have dinner there tomorrow?

It's way too crowded so we have to wait in line for at least an hour.

You eat well. You really do.

I have no food at home, so...

Wow... who has that kind of money?

That's too cruel!

How can such a vile creature be a human?

How could she take that house away?

Sun Young. Want me to go beat them all up?

Huh?

It's fine. That won't solve anything.

Forget about that. Just take care of yourself, Tae Soo.

Is this the time to be worrying about me right now?

Where do we get 10 million won?

I'll take care of everything.

Don't you say a word about this to Mom. Got that?

All right.

Okay. I'm hanging up.

Sun Young. I made some short ribs.

Take this with you when you're going to visit Mr. Choi tomorrow.

He can eat things like this now, right?

Yeah. I'll get your plate from him tomorrow, too.

Can you watch Jin Joo for me?

Even so, Mr. Choi is doing well even without a nurse.

Amazing, really.

Good for him.

Looks great.

Wow, what's this? Ribs?

Oh, speaking of which.

I wonder if our Duk Seon is doing well?

I'll bet she's prancing around.

I'm worried that she's going to cause trouble.

Not too big, but one or two small incidents.

Bathroom! Broken!

So much water, all night!

I couldn't sleep all night! Okay? Okay?

The room is too cold! I almost froze to death!

Bleh... my lips almost became like this!

Wow... well, she's justified in acting like that.

I couldn't sleep all night, either.

I heard the water from the bathroom all night.

I almost froze to death.

The window wouldn't close.

I'm sure she must have been even more uncomfortable, as a girl.

I think all the rooms on our floor are like that.

Geez... I'll bet that Master Choi won't be in such good condition.

It's discrimination against foreigners.

Really?

It's something that happens often.

Master Choi is late today.

I wonder if he overslept?

The competition is on the 7th floor, right?

I'll bet that the Chinese reporters got the best spots already.

Excuse me.

[Choi Taek, 6-dan's Waiting Room]

There's still 30 minutes left.

Then we wait here until then?

Yeah. He won't come out of there before the game, no matter what.

It's his alone time.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Yes.

Mr. Choi! Can you pose for me?

I'm sorry, but... can you leave?

Oh... yes. I'm sorry.

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

Geez... I ought to beat you to death!

He doesn't even drink a glass of water before a match!

Even for lesser types of competitions, too!

I ought to really...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

The match is starting. Please enter.

Oh, thank you.

When they find a great orange in Brazil...

this is what they say.

- "Ta bom!" - Ta bom!

Del Monte juice. We make it with the best oranges.

Hello?

Tae Yong! Why are you calling?

Geez... Tae Soo told you, didn't he?

He went to you already and told you, huh?

I'm looking into it. Don't worry.

I know that you don't have money! It's fine!

It's not like 10 million won is small change.

I know that you have a rich friend.

Okay. I'll talk to them.

The person borrowing the money should ask directly, shouldn't they?

I'll ask them, so don't you say a word.

I told you, I really will!

I'll call them!

Okay, okay. Got it. Okay, bye.

[Dong Jin Real Estate]

Come in.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

Mister, what happened with Taek?

Mister, what happened with Taek?

Victory.

I'm saying he won.

Oh! Is it all over now, then?

No, he has to win two out of three. This is only the first game.

If he wins tomorrow, he's the winner, but if not, he has to play a third round.

Oh.

Taek, get out. We're here.

Okay.

Tonight's dinner is Korean food. I'll come get you later.

I don't want any.

Just wake me up tomorrow.

Okay.

He won't come.

Geez... what do I do?

What do you mean? He'll probably eat tomorrow, after this is all over.

What do I do?

I think I'll eat a lot, Mister. I'm so hungry.

The chairmen of Student Associations from colleges in the Seoul area held a meeting

and demanded that legislators run the country as a proper democracy.

About 10 students were injured...

Bo Ra came home early, right?

She came home a while ago and is sleeping.

This girl... if she protests like that again

I'll shave her bald and send her off to a temple.

Oh yeah.

Speaking of which, Jung Bong is still at a temple, right?

Which one is it?

It's a really famous one.

A real brand name one.

What are you saying?

All Buddhist temples are the same.

There's no such thing as brand names among them.

There's one that's always on TV lately.

The Baekdamsa Temple was often in the media in 1988]

[because a certain famous person was hiding out there.]

I wonder if he had breakfast.

The breakfast they have here is great.

I had five bowls.

Oh... good job.

Oh, here he comes.

Sorry, sorry.

[Choi Taek, 6-dan]

Please enter.

Mr. Yoo! Let's go.

He has to come now.

Yes, I'll escort him out.

Taek!

They... want you to come now.

Okay.

[Jae Il Real Estate]

Are you going somewhere?

Yeah. To Jung Hwan's.

Okay. Then drop off those empty plates while you're there.

Okay, I will.

They're on the table over there.

Oh, hey. Here.

- Mom, I'm leaving these here! - Okay!

- Let's go. - Where?

Dong Ryong went all the way to Dobongdong and borrowed an X-rated movie.

He's waiting at Taek's.

Oh... okay.

- Wait, wait, wait! - What?

I'm going to see No Eul for a second.

Don't you dare bring him. He's a total blabbermouth.

Okay. Go on ahead.

Hurry over.

Okay.

Bo Ra.

She's not here.

Why are you looking for her?

Huh? Oh... I just had something to ask.

Oh.

But, um... where did she go?

To "Exercise."

She'll... be fine, right?

Of course. She's really good at running away.

Shut your mouths!

Shut it, already!

Get in there!

And bow your heads!

Yes.

This is Jae Il Real Estate, right?

Um... are there any cheap places?

Preferably in Ssangmundong?

Oh... you don't have any cheaper ones?

- Yes... please give me a call then. - Yes.

- Sun Young! - Yes?

I think you'll have to go today, too.

Mi Ran hurt her ankle.

What happened?

She slipped on the stairs.

She has to take care of both men today so can you go today?

We'll feed Sun Woo and Jin Joo.

Okay. The youngest should deliver, after all.

You know, I got a call from Mr. Choi this morning, anyway

asking for shampoo and conditioner.

Wow... come to think of it, it's time for him to wash his hair, isn't it?

He hasn't washed his hair once since his surgery, right?

I bet his hair is really oily and matted by now.

Isn't it usually like that anyway?

That's his usual style.

Why the wheelchair?

Oh yeah. Doesn't Taek have a match today? Did he win?

I haven't heard from him yet.

Thank you.

He's going to break his record at this rate.

Mister, how could a person sit still for 10 hours?

Is he human?

I'll bet he doesn't even know that 10 hours have gone by.

Wow.

It's over. You may enter.

Mister... did Taek lose?

No, he won.

What? Why's his expression like that, then?

He's confusing me.

It's Baduk Etiquette.

What?

Oh... even if they win, they have to be humble

and have to be polite even if they lose.

That's Baduk Etiquette.

Sorry, sorry!

What the hell? If he's happy, he should act like it.

How many are there left?

Five?

Hey. Get off.

Wow... I can't believe this!

This is Nanjido!

Want me to take you all the way to the police station, then?

Hey! Next, you.

How dare he use informal speech with me...

Are we that close? Huh?

[Paju, Gyeonggi Province]

[The Art of War]

Let's go out together. I need some exercise.

I'm not leaving.

I want to get some fresh air

and I saw a place around here that sells goldfish bread.

I saw on my way here that five of them are 200 won.

I'm going to go and buy some, so sit tight.

Is that you, Tae Yong?

Yeah. It's me.

Geez... really...

How did this happen?

Why did you come?

I'm fine.

Fine, my ass. Do you know how worried I was?

You were so worried and yet it took you so long to get here?

I went on a business trip and just got back, bastard.

I knew this would happen to you sooner or later.

You have such high blood pressure

but you don't take medicine or adjust your diet.

Geez.

From now on, you'll take care of your health more, right?

Moo Sung. Please take care of yourself.

Okay?

Don't just live for Taek's sake. Live for yourself, too.

You only have one life, and it'll fly by.

Are you going to take all that money with you when you die?

Yeah. I'm going to put all of it in my coffin before I get buried.

Hey. After Jae Sang left us, you're the only best friend I have.

Please, take care of your health. Okay?

Okay. No more nagging!

Oh yeah.

Also... Moo Sung.

What is it?

You... haven't heard, right?

What are you talking about?

I guess she didn't tell you after all...

What are you talking about?

Huh?

[Boyfriend]

[My house]

Here we go.

Eat up.

Yes.

[Upstairs - Jung Hwan] [House up front - Dong Ryong's]

Oh my.

There we go.

I hit it big! Aw yeah!

Mr. Teacher has a cute side to him!

Go, go! Whoo hoo!

Damn it! Where the hell did everyone go?

[House Up Front - Sun Woo]

Damn it.

Don't pick up.... don't pick up.

Hello?

Hello? Who is it?

Hello?

Oh... um... it's me.

Um... Bo Ra.

Me... Bo...

It's me, Sung Bo Ra!

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

We're going to have a congratulatory party up front. Let's go.

I'm a bit tired.

I'll be resting in my room with my friend.

Yes... you couldn't get any sleep for the past two days, right?

And you didn't even eat.

I guess that's what's so great about youth!

How could you be fine without a single meal?

You have such a great constitution.

I ate really well this time around.

I didn't even miss one meal.

I got great sleep, and the room was nice and warm.

I was in peak condition this time around.

Excuse me?

You... you ate?

Yes.

You weren't the one who bought it for me?

Me?

What do you mean?

Taek!

I made you a fried egg!

Jang Pyo! Thank you!

[Japanese Food "Welcome!"] subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Bathroom! Broken!

So much water, all night! I couldn't sleep all night!

Okay? Okay? The room is too cold!

I almost froze to death! Bleh... my lips almost became like this!

My friend is a national treasure of Korea!

If you don't change our rooms, we could have an international conflict!

Okay? Okay?

Change our room! Okay?

Okay?

Thank you!

Damn it... Sung Duk Seon!

Jang Pyo, this one is burnt, though.

- Huh? - This one is burnt. Look at the color.

The burnt part tastes better.

No, this isn't right. It's burnt.

It's tastier.

Okay, okay. Then just make me one more.

What?

Make me just one more because it's burnt.

It's tastier.

Okay, come on. Just one more.

- Come on? - Yes, Jang Pyo. Thank you.

- Oh. - Your friend is great.

She's better than your father.

Oh yeah. I'll make a call and come right back.

You've worked hard. I'm fine.

Yeah. The ladies come by the hospital every day.

What about Duk Seon? Did you buy her a lot of delicious food?

Really?

Rest for the whole day tomorrow, and... Yeah. Okay.

Food? Oh, the food at the hospital is fine.

Make sure you don't skip any meals. Yeah.

I don't know if it's because fancy people live in Gangnam, but...

even the goldfish bread they sell here is so skinny.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Is there something on my face?

Sun Young.

Why didn't you tell me?

My older brother told you, didn't he?

Girl. We see each other every day...

and yet, I had to hear about that from Tae Yong?

Oh yeah... Moo Sung.

Yeah?

You haven't heard, right?

What are you talking about?

She didn't tell you, it seems.

About what? Huh?

My younger sister... Sun Young.

Why? What happened?

I was going to tell you but she told me that she'd tell you herself

and asked me not to tell you.

It's that...

Moo Sung. It's because this is so humiliating.

Girl... what are you embarrassed about? I'm like your older brother!

I'm not embarrassed at the state I'm in at all.

Sun Young.

In life, sometimes you become indebted to others or inconvenience others.

It happens.

Everyone lives like that.

Don't suffer too much on your own.

I only wanted you to see me living a good life.

What kind of nonsense--

You're living a perfectly good life!

How could one live a better life than yours?

You raised Sun Woo and Jin Joo so well.

Even that's an incredible feat in itself.

You're running your household well, and you've raised your children well.

And... you take such good care of your older friend from your hometown.

If you hadn't called me to Seoul at that time, Sun Young...

I would have still been drinking every day, unable to forget Taek's mom.

Thanks for calling me here.

That's nothing worth thanking me for.

Oh geez.

[Fall 1977]

Hello?

[Kyungnam, Gimhae, Bonghwangdong]

Oh, Sun Young?

Why would I go to Seoul?

I'm just going to stay here.

Come up to Seoul!

If you stay there, you won't be able to forget about Min Joo, who passed away!

And it'd be better for Taek to grow up in Seoul.

Come move to our neighborhood.

Seoul is no place for a person to live.

I can't live in a place like that.

Moo Sung, it's even more rural here than in Gimhae.

Everyone here is so nice. Hurry up and move up here.

You have to live your own life!

How long will you cling on to Min Joo?

Are you Taek?

You are, right?

Wow... you're so pretty looking! You don't look like your dad at all.

The heavens really helped you out with that one.

Let's go have dinner at my place.

Come on! Let's go.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!

The best thing I ever did was moving to Seoul.

This time, too... if not for the people in the neighborhood, I'd already be dead.

I'm indebted to a lot of people and have inconvenienced people

and I do feel sorry about that, but...

but I'm not going to worry too much about it anymore.

It's not like I'll ever forget their kindness toward me.

So don't try to do everything on your own, either.

Who cares if you're indebted to other people?

Here you go. 10 million.

Take it. My arm hurts.

No... Moo Sung... I won't accept this.

Girl, have you heard anything that I just said?

Hurry up and take it!

I'm not giving this to you. I'm lending it to you. Okay?

You can pay me back later.

Take it!

And this... is something I'm just giving you.

Get your wrist fixed while I'm still saying it nicely.

I've made all the arrangements.

When you come to the hospital, go to the first floor to take care of it

and you can come whenever you want.

You'd better go. All right?

When Tae Yong came by, he didn't worry about me one bit

and just worried about you the whole time.

Stop making him worry and be indebted to people when you need to be.

All right? And when you're having a hard time, say so.

Don't live life in such a difficult way.

Have some goldfish bread.

Here.

Speaking of which... just how many did you buy?

How many is this?

We can finish them all if we try.

Geez. You're even greedier than you were before.

I'm going to eat them all!

I can take some home too.

Are Gangnam's goldfish breads any different?

How many is this, really?

I couldn't help myself.

- I... - Yeah.

- Photo. - Photo?

Yes.

- With him. - Oh, with Taek?

- Yeah. Photo. - Geez... of course I can do that much.

Duk Seon. Let's go upstairs.

Taek. Jang Pyo wants to take a photo with you.

- Okay. - His name is Jang Pyo?

I guess you two are friends now.

Yes. We became friendly while we were arguing.

Hey. Smile a bit.

Okay.

One, two, three!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Why don't you two stand together? I'll take a photo for you.

Us?

Go stand there. It's fine.

Go! It's fine!

His photos are really like masterpieces.

- Hurry. Go and stand together. - Go, go, go.

Damn it... I don't look pretty today.

- You look pretty. - Really?

Yeah. Your clothes are pretty, too.

These clothes look okay?

Yeah.

It's your clothes.

Oh.

Okay... I'm taking it now!

One, two, three!

Honey.

[December 2015]

When was this?

I told you to wear warmer clothes.

You really don't listen.

Hmm... January, 1989.

Wow. You remember the most peculiar things, huh?

This was the best day of your life, right?

Right?

How could you remember something that happened 30 years ago so well?

I guess people come to remember everything when they get older?

Are you getting senile?

The date is written right there on the bottom.

You're embarrassed, right?

I bet you are.

Want some water?

No thanks. Choke some down yourself.

Bo Ra. Are you okay?

There are no more buses tonight, so I called a cab.

They said they'll take about 30 minutes.

You're not ill, are you?

No.

What do you want to eat?

Oh no... they don't have anything you like.

It's fine. Order whatever.

- Excuse me! - Yes?

Can we have two soondae soups, and...

The soup tastes okay, at least.

This young man kept asking me, so...

- Thank you. - Oh, geez.

Ah, youth... what a great time to be alive!

I didn't say anything.

Sun Woo. How old are you now?

Excuse me?

I said, how old are you?

18 years old. Why all of the sudden?

I've been watching you for eighteen years.

Have I ever gotten angry at you in those eighteen years?

I've bitched out all the other kids, but I don't think I ever did to you.

Right?

Yes.

You're such a good kid.

You're kind, righteous, and smart.

I do like you, as a person.

Can't we just go back to the way we were before?

I don't want to not have a relationship with you at all.

You understand what I'm saying, right?

I don't want to.

I hate having this type of relationship with you.

It has no meaning to me.

[Lee Sun Hee]

Let's go to the concert together.

Not as friends, but as a man and a woman.

A line indicates a limit, saying, "That's as far as you get."

To maintain that boundary means to maintain the same familiarity...

and it means that one will respect the universe

that it outlines through abiding by its rules

and maintaining the relationships existing in it as they are.

This also means that, if one were to never cross that line, one would never

experience the world, rules, and relationships

outside of the currently established boundaries.

If one wishes for a new relationship... if one wishes for love...

one must cross the line.

If one were to not cross the line

that line would demarcate the limit of how far you and that person can go.

Of course, there are some lines in this world that should never be crossed.

Um...

you are him... right?

You are.

That person...

that person!

It's him!

Chun Doo Hwan! (Controversial Korean president)

It's you!

Subtitles by DramaFever

Throw these out, already!

Bring all of those, as they are, back inside.

How fascinating. What's the reason?

I don't know. He doesn't know. I don't know. Nobody knows.

But, um... I haven't seen Jung Bong all day. Do you know where he went?

- Hey, punk! - Stop right there!

Okay, don't go anywhere.

He's really not the type of kid to do that.

You're so annoying!

Don't concern yourself over me.

How do you know you might not meet the man you're fated for?

Hey. I'm a guy. Am I a girl, then?

I have something to talk to you about.

With me?

Excuse me! You have to go in now.

Yes, just a moment.

[Can't go.]

What do I do if he really does like me?

You two really do suit each other. Do your best.

What are you doing here?

I have something to ask you.

Hey, you know...
