Where were you?

Were you born yesterday?

You couldn't call me?

You could've at least called your own phone!

You couldn't even think of doing that?

Why can't you use your head?

Don't you have any common sense?

Why won't you say anything?

Make excuses

or get angry and ask me where I was!

Say something!

Say anything, Cha Haewon!

I thought you had abandoned me again.

Just like you had done before.

So I couldn't even think straight.

When I believe one thing to be true,

I can't seem to think otherwise.

I become a bumbling idiot...

You know that better than anyone.

I'm sorry

for being such an idiot.

An idiot without a single thought in my head.

KBC J-FM, "A Night of Poetry and Music."

This is Goethe's "Nearness of the Beloved One."

I think of you, when I see the sun's shimmer

Gleaming from the sea.

I think of you, when the moon's glimmer

Is reflected in the springs.

I see you, when on the distant road

The dust rises...

I'm sorry I got angry.

And...

The kiss was...

The pros about having a crush.

1. Dates don't cost anything.

2. I can see him whenever I close my eyes.

3. I can date other men.

4. I can start and end it on my own accord.

5...

I never get dumped.

You don't need to feel guilty.

Back then, I was really upset and flustered,

but now that I think about it,

it wasn't so bad having a crush.

Right.

Thanks for taking me to the beach.

I won't forget this.

Or the kiss.

I think of you, when the moon's glimmer

Is reflected in the springs.

I see you, when the distant road

The dust rises.

In deep night, when on the narrow bridge

The traveler trembles...

What's that?

Goethe's poem, "Nearness of the Beloved One."

It's my favorite poem.

Nice, isn't it?

No!

I don't understand any of it.

You should read comic books, too.

I hear you, when with a dull roar

The wave surges.

Hello, Dongseok.

Haewon!

Goodbye, Haewon.

She followed us here.

Haewon followed us here

and circled around you 28 times.

You like Haewon, too, don't you?

No.

Stop lying. I know you do.

You don't know anything.

I don't like Haewon.

I heard you calling out her name in your sleep.

No! You heard wrong.

I know you're reading that thinking of her.

That's not true!

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

I'm going to go over there to tell Haewon

that you call out her name in your sleep

and that you read poems thinking of her.

Kang Donghui!

Let me go. I'm going to tell her.

Is there anything you want to have?

Why do you ask?

I'll buy it for you. What would you like?

A soccer ball.

Okay.

I'll get you something on my pay day.

But you can't tell anyone I like Haewon.

If you do,

I'll no longer consider you my brother.

Okay, Dongseok. I'll keep it a secret.

A man's word is like bubble gum.

What did you say?

Mr. Han regained consciousness?

And?

Is Kang Dongseok with him?

What? We'll have to figure something out!

Mr. Han.

I'm sorry.

I should've come when you first asked.

I've come too late.

I'll catch them.

I'll catch whoever did this to you,

and make them pay for their crime.

Donghui! Donghui!

Sorry. I forgot you got hurt.

Hey, what are you doing?

I had a dream of you dying.

It was just a dream, but I was so heartbroken.

What would you have done

if Mr. Oh killed you with that golf club?

I wish he'd have killed me with that golf club.

That was what I was thinking.

Why were you thinking that?

Because life is boring.

If you died, what about your mom?

She has Dongtak, Dongok, and Dongseok,

so she'll be fine.

What about your kids? Dongwon and Dongju?

My mom and my family will take care of them.

The kids said if I were their dad,

they would run away from home.

They did?

What about your real mom?

Your real mom who had you...

If I were you,

I would want to find out who she is,

what she looks like,

and why she abandoned me.

I'd want to find that out before I died.

Well, I don't.

It's better to die before I find out.

If I found out who she was

and why she left me,

I wouldn't leave her unscathed.

No, Donghui!

No... No...

Why are you standing there?

Why did you come here, in the middle

of the night, wearing one of my shoes?

Well, actually. Actually, Soshim...

Did you rush over here because

you wanted to apologize to the madam?

But this isn't her room. Her room is over...

Who's room is this?

Shh!

Don't talk too loudly. You'll wake Donghui up.

My...

My Donghui is in there?

Oh! He got into a fight again?

How serious is it?

Who did this to him? Which bastard!

Soshim, we need to talk.

Why won't you let me talk?

Help me out, Soshim.

If Donghui hears that you found out about this,

several people will end up dead tonight.

I just dreamt that

Dongseok and Donghui were fighting,

and Donghui killed Dongseok.

So I got so scared...

You're talking crazy right now.

I know. I don't know what it meant,

but they say dreams are the opposite of reality.

So I thought... Maybe Donghui died...

Find out if they have a free room here.

You need to be hospitalized.

Right. I've gone mad.

I'll go see a doctor tomorrow.

Let's go, Soshim.

No.

No, no.

You go and check on Donghui.

Soshim...

I'll pretend I don't know anything

about Donghui

getting hurt or ever even being at this hospital.

You go check and see if Donghui's alive.

But if he sees me, he'll get so mad.

What if he dies, just like in your dream?

Didn't you say you would've become

a fortuneteller had you not worked at a bar?

Right. Lots of my dreams come true.

Then I'll go and see if Donghui's alive,

and I'll come right home, Soshim.

Which bastard hurt my Donghui...

This baby is Mr. Kang Taeseop's son.

Please take good care of him.

They said you'd turn out like me,

if I raised you

so I left you at your father's house,

ready to be struck by lightning doing so.

So how could you live like this?

What does this make me?

Why would Donghui kill Dongseok?

Oh...

How could she have such an awful dream?

How can she worry me so much?

Donghui, how hurt are you?

Oh... Oh...

Mother.

What's going on? Why are you out here?

Nothing's going on.

I came out because I couldn't sleep.

Why are you just getting home? It's late.

Something came up.

Go inside.

Are you...

Are you dating Miss Haewon again?

You must be, since you won't say no.

Don't do it.

They lost their fortune and

are facing hard times now,

but it's not right for people like us

to be dating someone like Haewon.

What do you mean by "people like us"?

What did you mean by that?

You might still want to be their servant,

letting them order you around and such,

but not me.

Now, I am someone who no one in the world

can order around or disrespect...

Right.

You're a prosecutor,

and people bow their heads to you. I know.

But what can we do?

You're my son, and we can't change that.

And I can't stop myself from bowing down

whenever I see Miss Haewon's family.

And that's how I am.

If you're upset by that,

you can disown me and tell the world

that you're not Jang Soshim's son.

How could...

A mother say that to her son?

There are so many fish in the sea.

And you're quite the catch. Dongtak told me

there are many women who like you.

So just date them, not Miss Haewon.

Unbelievable.

As if I should be proud about my old job.

Maybe I deserve a gold medal.

Yes, what Dongseok said was right.

How could a mom say that to her child?

Ignorance is nothing to be proud about...

I said that because I didn't want you to

suffer heartaches because of your dumb mom.

You could enjoy a very comfortable life,

so why would you take that tough path...

That's not the right path, that's why...

What?

You got turned down.

Haewon doesn't have any interest in going out

for brunch with you, not an ounce of interest.

You're only going to embarrass yourself.

You fired Haewon only a few days ago,

so for you to show up at her door, saying,

"Haewon! I'm sorry! Have brunch with me!"

and begging for her forgiveness

would make you look like an idiot.

Who said I was going to beg?

I almost forgot to teach you a lesson!

All of one's children are precious,

but to me, you're the most precious of all.

But if Donghui found out, he'd flip out.

But there's someone who's more precious.

Even if you're a big shot prosecutor,

to me, you come after your mom.

Does that upset you?

No, it doesn't.

Because of my bastard of a son, your dad,

because of all the bad things he did,

your mom cried so many tears, more than

all the women of Gyeongju combined.

Don't ever bring tears to your mother's eyes.

Don't do anything that would break her heart.

Got it?

But what can we do?

You're my son, and we can't change that.

And I can't stop myself from bowing down

whenever I see Miss Haewon's family.

So what could you do?

You're up?

Old Woman, are you really here?

Or am I still having a nightmare?

Donghui, you always say the nicest things.

I came to make sure you were alive,

and I dozed off for a moment.

Are you mad, Old Woman?

Don't you dare tell me

to get lost or get out of your sight!

Or I'll tell your mom everything!

I'll tell her you got hospitalized

and that you look like a mummy

because you got hurt really badly!

Old Woman!

I'll go home and make some

bone broth for you.

Oh, my son gets more handsome

even while lying in a hospital bed.

How amazing.

Have you gone completely mad?

Let me say this again.

If you keep this up, your mom will come.

So you should make your decision wisely.

Rest, rest.

I can't believe what just happened.

I should've died by that golf club!

Who's this? Hey, mistress!

Did you come here to apologize to me?

My room's over there. Follow me.

What is that witch saying?

What did you just say?

You're worried you have too much hair?

Just say it!

I'll pull all your hair out,

and take them to my brothers-in-law.

How dare you!

Haven't you learned anything?

You! Mistress!

Oh! I should just!

Calm down, Yeongchun. Not today.

If you order Soshim around one more time,

you're going to end up at the morgue!

- Got it? - Oh, mommy!

When I was younger and far more wild,

I had girls like you for lunch. Okay?

Oh, my blood pressure...

Ugh! How am I going to make her pay?

You go and check on Donghui.

I'll pretend I don't know anything

about Donghui

getting hurt or ever even being at this hospital.

You go check and see if Donghui's alive.

Does Soshim

know I'm Donghui's mom?

No, no, no.

She's too dense and slow for that.

I'm sure she doesn't. I'm sure.

You don't have to help. The water's too cold.

It's okay. It doesn't feel cold at all.

- Mom. - Yeah?

Are all men who ask me to dinner

really bad and evil?

Why? Is someone asking you to dinner?

Yes.

Who?

Some man...

He only asked you to dinner?

He said I was pretty, too.

What?

What else did he do and say?

He didn't do anything.

I told you a thousand times.

Outside your uncles, Dongtak, Dongseok,

and Donghui, you must be careful with men.

Especially men you don't know.

Say, "I can't hear anything,"

and don't look at them or even talk to them.

What if I saw him 3 times?

You can't know a man after meeting 3 times.

You have to see him at least 10 times

to know what kind of man he is.

You have to see him at least 10 times

to know what kind of man he is.

So? Who did you see 3 times?

Hello, ma'am! Oh...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, look who's here! Hello, doctor.

I'm here to see Mr. Kang.

Has he been doing okay?

Yes.

And this is?

This is Dr. Min Wujin. He's new.

Say hello.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Min Wujin.

Oh, yes, it's nice to meet you.

Oh, what's wrong with her?

Oh, no.

Oh, oh...

Oh! You startled me! What do you want?

What in the world does she like about you?

What the heck are you talking about?

My eyes are brighter,

my nose is more prominent,

and I have a far more chiseled jaw line.

And I have much more hair, too!

Oh, how dare you!

Misuk turned me down.

Misuk only likes you, uncle.

She won't give up until you marry her.

She won't?

Oh, I can't believe how desirable I am.

Anyway, that woman!

She has such high standards.

I'm way out of her league! Poor woman...

Anyway, you don't like her, do you?

What?

You're not attracted to Misuk at all, right?

I wouldn't dream of it!

Okay. I'm going to keep asking her out.

Go ahead.

But if she's set her sights on me,

I'm not sure if you'd be good enough.

Unbelievable.

Kang Dongtak is the problem here.

That worm poo...

How am I supposed to deal with him?

Did he hurt his head when he was little?

Why does he like me?

Does he have vision problems?

Why? What's wrong with you?

I look in the mirror every morning.

If I were a man, I wouldn't like me.

What does that make me?

Are you saying I'm a girl or something?

You're a unique person.

You haven't kissed me because I asked you

to wait, which means you're a pure soul.

That just means I'm an idiot. An idiot!

You'll see.

When you cremate me, you'll find sariras.

I'm sorry and grateful, Ssangshik.

Misuk.

I agree that keeping your virginity

until we get married must be done.

But...

Isn't kissing okay?

No, it's not!

My grandma said kissing is giving everything.

So? We're getting married!

That's not important here!

Aren't we here to discuss

how to deal with Dongtak?

You just need to take showers frequently

and wear expensive clothes and makeup.

You're not even working.

What are you getting a facial for?

I have my reasons.

And what would that be?

There's a woman he wants to impress.

Oh, there are many paparazzi these days,

so you shouldn't date until your debut.

Hey, leave him be.

You can't hide love and farts.

I care more about the heart, not looks.

Who was she talking to?

I think she was talking to herself.

Fine! Let's just bring it out in the open.

Why can't you just man up?

I did get good grades in language skills class,

but you express yourself too indirectly!

How am I supposed to respond to that?

Must I keep pretending not to know?

For how much longer?

Won, who is she talking to right now?

Hmm...

I don't think I can tell you that.

I'll be outside, Dongtak.

Hey...

I need to go pee.

Don't avoid me. Look into my eyes!

I'm looking. So?

Let's...

Let's not lie to ourselves anymore.

I've never lied.

If you don't lie, I won't lie either.

When did I ever lie to you?

You're lying again.

You're deceiving yourself!

I don't understand a word you're saying!

We might have to break up

even before dating.

Because of Dongseok and Haewon,

we may never get a chance to say

that we're in love and it'd be over.

What are you on?

Hey!

We'll miss out on our chance!

We have so many obstacles to overcome!

So we have no time for this nonsense!

What are you two doing?

The cucumber slices fell off!

While you take your time,

I'll wither and fall like these slices.

While you're playing hard to get,

I'll wither away and

no longer be by your side!

And you'll regret it.

What's wrong with her?

Who knows?

Maybe she was practicing for an audition.

Oh!

She's got lots of lines this time!

How old are you?

I'm 28.

When's your birthday?

March 25th.

- What time? - Excuse me?

What time were you born?

I'm not sure.

Oh, then ask your parents and let me know.

And you draw my blood.

Okay.

You don't trust me?

A certain harmony exists between

doctors and patients.

I'll decide if you can draw my blood or not

after I consult my fortune teller.

Go tell my kids to bring me something to eat.

I get weak after getting my blood drawn.

Okay. Are you doing okay?

Is someone asking you to dinner?

Mom told you a thousand times.

Outside your uncles, Dongtak, Dongseok,

and Donghui, you must be careful with men.

Especially the men you don't know.

Say "I can't hear anything,"

and don't look at them.

What if I saw him 3 times?

You can't know a man after meeting 3 times.

You have to see him at least 10 times

to know what kind of man he is.

Not 9 times, Dongok.

10 times, 10!

Let me confirm your order.

2 Americanos,

1 cappuccino, 2 pieces of cheesecake?

Yes.

You can pick them up over there.

3 Americanos,

and 1 of whatever's the most expensive.

Okay.

Let me confirm your order.

3 Americanos,

and 1 of the most expensive thing on the menu.

- Hello. - Hello.

1 sparkling water and 2 iced Americanos.

Let me confirm your order.

1 sparkling water,

and 2 hot iced Americanos?

Excuse me?

Isn't iced Americano cold?

Oh, yes, I'm sorry.

2 cold iced Americanos, correct?

Yes, that's correct.

This one is for you.

Enjoy.

Hello, school. I hope we get along.

Hello, faucets.

Azaleas, I hope we get along well!

Oh!

I'm glad I came to Gyeongju.

Oh! Look how pretty the sky is.

Are you crazy?

Get up from there this instant!

Are you talking to me?

Is there anyone else here?

Didn't you hear me?

Why are you being so rude?

Is this bench yours?

Yes! It's mine! So?

I super glued that myself!

What is he saying?

Are you speaking Korean?

What the...

I! I...

Super glued this bench together!

I used ultra super glue on it!

Ultra super glue on where I'm sitting?

Oh, no!

Oh, what do I do?

This is crazy.

What do I do? What?

What do you mean? You must live there now.

I'll pull you, so hold my hands.

Hurry!

You're really stuck.

- Oh, no! - Ugh!

Oh, no!

Why didn't you look before you sat down?

Oh, no, oh, no!

Serves you right for ruining my bench!

I wish more people were here to see this!

Oh, what do I do?

Oh, no, oh, no...

Vice principal! What happened?

Oh, no... What do I do...

Ms. Kim, what did you just call her?

Vice principal.

She's the new vice principal.

Oh...

She's the vice principal...

Oh... That's unfortunate...

Oh, no, oh, no...

My mom runs a fried chicken restaurant,

and my dad delivers fried chicken.

My mom and dad make the most delicious

fried chicken in the world.

If you want some, come to my restaurant.

Kang Dongwon, you're next.

Dongju, would you like to do it with him?

We don't really want to do this.

Why not?

It would take the whole class hour

for us to talk about our family,

because there are so many members.

Then talk about the important few.

Let's just pick Dongseok and talk about him.

Talking about the others

would only cause embarrassment.

And we don't have anything to say.

We'll talk about one person.

He's the only one we want to talk about.

We're going to talk about Dongseok.

When he was a baby, he was a genius,

and everyone in Gyeongju knew about him.

He was the smartest kid in school,

and girls adored him.

He passed the bar on the first try

and is now a prosecutor.

You probably saw

the banners that were hung recently.

"Welcome home, Prosecutor Kang Dongseok."

That's our brother, Dongseok.

That's it for the family introduction.

You have other brothers, too, right?

Tell everyone about them, too.

I don't want to talk

about Dongtak or Donghui.

Why not?

There's nothing good to say about them.

How about you?

What is Donghui like?

Donghui?

He must look a lot like you, Dongwon.

No, we don't look alike at all.

His looks...

He's more handsome than Dongwon.

He looks like a movie star.

And?

But other than that, there's nothing to say.

How old is he? What does he do?

Ms. Kim.

Yes?

The class is over.

The classes are all over.

Dongju and Dongwon are coming out.

You missed the kids?

I thought you were a childish bastard,

but I guess you're a dad, too.

Oh, I'm proud of you.

Get your hand off of me.

Aunt, uncle!

Uncle! Aunt!

Aunt! Uncle!

- Kang Mul! - Yes?

Take your arm off of my shoulder!

I'm not your friend!

Take your arm off of my shoulder, too!

Oh, man!

Why are you so conservative and bossy?

I can't take this anymore!

What did he just say? I'm his uncle!

Hey! Kang Mul!

How can we teach him some manners?

It's because you're too easy on him!

He has no respect for his elders!

You think you don't have any problems?

You're not acting like an uncle,

and that's why he disrespects us!

And it's all your fault.

Now you feel like living again?

Yes.

You're off now, right?

Let's get dinner.

I'll pick you up at 8.

Excuse me, do you have some lipstick?

Hello?

Who's this?

The unit you're trying to call

has been turned off...

Father!

Oh, this person is awful.

You really want to die?

You want a piece of me?

Get out.

You're so petty!

I'm leaving. I'll disappear!

Don't cause a ruckus! Just leave!

There's someone I like, grandpa.

Who is it?

Soshim! Something awful has happened!

This is horrible!

You and I are father and son, okay?

Let me ask you for just one thing.

Say that again.

You and Dongju were found under a bridge.

You better shut up!

Dongseok!

I missed you, honey.
