MY WEDDING CAMPAIGN

starring JUNG Jae-young

SU Ae

and YU Jun-sang

What are you doin'? Hurry up.

Written & directed by HWANG Byeng-gug

Let me see, too. Damn it, Hee-chul.

I peep first from tomorrow.

I was fifteen years old.

At an age when I didn't know anything.

Why of all places did we pick

the house of the girl I liked,

Yeon-hee's house.

Afterwards, for a long time...

For a very, very long time...

I couldn't look straight at a girl.

Mom!

Damn it.

I'm thirty eight now.

Although it's embarrassing,

these incidences frequently happen.

And it's not once in a while.

Frequently.

Life would've been better if menopause had came like women.

What are you doing?

Washin' my face.

With laundry soap?

Hey you, the guy with the big head.

Move to the side.

Behind pink clothes.

The guy with the jacket on. Go to the side.

Come on.

More, more.

More.

Go to the end!

Yeah, keep on going.

Not there, one step to the side.

Between the two men.

One step more, good.

Droop a bit.

Okay, here we go. One, two...

Let's go drinkin'.

Man-taek, let's go drink!

Let's go drink.

Are you listening to me?

Man-taek, let's go drinkin'!

Why'd you come here?

I've known her for a long time,

so I had to come.

You know her?

All you did was deal with her about your loan at the teller.

So how could you know her?

Of course I know her.

Why wouldn't I?

Hey.

Did you get a wedding invitation or a phone call from her?

I even saw her yesterday, so how could I not go?

Shut your trap, idiot!

So did you cry when you saw her?

You never showed your feelings.

How do you ever expect to get married?

Chew on your gum, and not your friend.

- Man-taek, let's go drinkin'. - Let go.

- Hey, let's drink! - Go away.

Hey asshole, let's go drink!

Man-taek!

On your way home?

Yes, sir.

Take my cultivator, will ya'?

I took it out to grease it up,

but a drinkin' engagement came up.

Sorry Man-taek.

That's okay, sir.

Sorry Man-taek.

Hurry up, boy. Listen to your mom.

Mister, the trunk!

Mister!

I said open the trunk!

Look at your mouth.

Where are you headed?

To Dukam Town.

Dukam Town?

Good boy.

It's raining, let's run.

Hurry in.

It's cold.

That boy looks a lot like his father.

It's cold.

Damn this weather.

He's a boy,

but he looks exactly like his mom.

When I saw that boy,

my heart was sinking.

She asked me if I was married.

I said I would in the fall.

In the fall?

Hey asshole, you got a woman?

No, I don't, you bastard.

Why don't you get it, idiot?

I don't have one, idiot!

Satisfied?

You scared the heck out of me.

Why'd Young-oak come down?

She came for her father's funeral rite.

Her father?

When's my father's funeral rite?

It was last month, idiot.

It passed already.

You're right, last month.

Hey, hey.

Stop talkin' about depressin' stuff.

Hong Man-taek!

Why don't you sing a song?

Sing?

Nope.

You know, that song by Na Hoon-ah.

Shall I?

When the plum tree blossoms she said she'd come back

But my love Soon-ee hasn't returned

Wind flowing through the window of the western sky

The scent of falling flowers makes me cry

One two, one, two. Is this working?

I have to go

I have to go

I have to go

I have to go look for Soon-ee

I have to go

I have to go

Yes, I have to go

You bastard, I'm gonna stomp on your mouth.

I have to go look for Soon-ee

Thank you.

For what? What's wrong with you?

I said thank you!

About what?

If you had gotten married, I'd have to sing alone.

That's why I'm grateful!

Shut up, you idiot!

When my lettuce farm went out of business,

I'm grateful that you drank with me.

When all our pigs died at once,

I'm grateful that you buried them with me.

Shut up, dummy.

When my father,

who died before he even reached sixty,

I'm grateful that you cried with me.

Thank you.

- What the hell? Man-taek! - Hee-chul! Hee-chul!

It's my mom!

You old single loser.

Proud of that?

Mom, I'm sorry!

What's wrong with you?

This is humiliating!

Hee-chul!

Mom!

If I get a hold of you two, you're both dead!

Are you proud of being single?

Come here this instant!

Come out and eat.

Why is my life so unlucky?

Anyway, what can I look forward to?

I had no luck with my husband. Luck with my son is obvious.

Oh goodness, what is there to look forward to?

Lucky if you're not a bastard at least.

Poor you, you ran out of luck with your father-in-law, too.

Oh my.

I didn't mean that.

How old are you now?

Well, it's hard to recall after sixty.

I think around sixty-three or four.

Not you, I mean Man-taek.

Thirty-eight.

Yeah, think any Soon-ee or whatever would come to you at your age?

When you were in high school, I was thirty-eight.

Got that?

Oh my, what brings you all the way here?

Takin' a little breather after goin' to the family graveyard.

Then come inside and have a cup of coffee.

No thanks. No coffee.

I don't see your daughter-in-law.

She brought lunch to the greenhouse.

Where'd you say she was from?

Uzoo...

Uzoo...

bekist!

Where?

Uzoobekist.

Uzoobekee?

Ist!

Where's that?

Don't know.

I heard it takes seven hours by plane.

Seven hours?

Then is it farther than America?

Don't know.

There you are.

Good job, my little girl.

He got really mad for me being late.

Hello.

Mom, what does "belly button" mean?

"Belly button"?

Choon-bo said that he was so hungry his belly button almost popped out.

It really upsets me when he speaks difficult Korean while he's angry.

Okay, go in and rest.

Bullshit!

- Here's also no room. - Saturday is a hard day for you. Are you fine?

Our people makes a love too much.

Here is 50 room!

But here's 'No Room', shit! We are living in 'Contry of Love'

- Lool! - What!

Is there your husband's car...

He's a milksop. He's too fright to Hotel.

That man also looks like milksop.

I said "Don't tell me about my husband"

What are you doing?

Don't do it!

Why?

Next time,

we come here on weekday.

Have you change the hair shampoo?

That smell drives me crazy.

- What's the brand - I use this all the time.

You are so sexy tonight.

- Don't kidding - You look so wonderful tonight.

- Hey, this is a brassiere - That's pain.

Why?

Somebody see our.

Whoever!

If somebody makes a love in the car you will look inside.

Maybe I will...

Take a phone

Hello.

Honey~

I will go home right now.

Whatever you want?

Ok... I love you~

Soon-ee.

Let's eat, Soon-ee.

Soon-ee.

Are you sleepy?

Eat and go to sleep.

Hey.

Have you gone nuts?

What's with you?

Is Soon-ee sick somewhere?

She was staggerin' around since yesterday.

She must be expectin' puppies.

Puppies?

What puppies? She's too young to have babies.

Think a one-year old dog's young?

Worry about your age instead.

You darn girlie.

How'd you go and get pregnant?

No food for you.

Hi Grandpa.

Where have you been this late?

Have you eaten dinner?

Have you had a drink?

Where's Uzoo biggest?

Uzoo's the biggest?

Who's Uzoo?

So what? Did you say you'll go?

Are you crazy?

Imported rice and garlic make me mad enough.

And you want me to import a girl?

Bastard, stop getting upset.

If there isn't enough, you have to import.

Hey, the problem is whether there's a victim or not.

Importing rice or garlic

is a problem like you said

when there are farmers like you.

But women are different. Ever seen a woman farm?

Hey, I'm the eldest son of the Hong family.

You wanna bear a kid with yellow hair?

Korean kids these days all have yellow hair.

Have you ever painted?

Painting? What painting?

Long ago, there weren't many paint colors.

You had to mix at least two colors to make a pretty color.

You know what you get if you mix black and yellow?

A blackish color.

Then what about black and blue?

Stop pretending to think, idiot.

It's a blackish color.

Even if we marry a blondie,

our kids' hair and eyes are black.

So it's no problem.

We?

Did you just say "we"?

Hey!

I look this way. You, the other way. Look for Uzbekiss.

Argentina?

Brazil

Central Siberia

Plateau

Damn, where the hell is it?

You call that a country's name?

Why the hell is "kiss" in it?

All they do is kiss there?

Here it is!

Here.

Why is this country hiding here?

It's squeezed in there.

It's completely squeezed in!

Do we have to go to a country like this?

Hey, it's not squeezed in in a big map.

So it was Uzbekistan.

Koryo people?

Koryo people?

Aren't we the same blood?

Entry fee is $2,000?

$4,000?

What? A bonus?

$8,000?

$10,000 total?

Total is $12,000?

Why do we have to pay a bonus?

Even if you find a tiny room,

you still pay a bonus to a real estate agent.

All you need to do is treat them to a few drinks.

Think $8,000 is cheap change?

I knew you'd be surprised.

But it's our fault for not marrying earlier.

Man-taek, think about your Grandpa.

How upset would he be to go this far for you?

Besides your Grandpa, your mom.

Your mom is in her sixties and she's working her butt off.

She should have a daughter-in-law

to set up your father's funeral rite!

Why bring up my dead father?

Hey, Man-taek!

That darn temper of his.

What brings you here, Grandpa?

Why'd you come here?

I was just passing by.

Grandpa, want another drink?

I had enough.

From now, I will introduce my wedding campaign as I have left

to break the long chain of disgrace.

The beginning was humble,

but the end was prosperous.

Please shut the hell up.

My ears won't hurt if I do this.

It's humiliating. You look like a hick.

Of course I look hickish. I'm no city boy.

So they were dragged to Siberia during the Japanese colonial era,

and were forced to migrate here again during the Stalin era.

The Soviets called them Koryo people.

Well, whatever the reason,

they're all our people, right?

Once again,

this is a 'Korean Cultural Event'

unifying Koreans around the world!

Personally, I hope that you know that our work entails pride

and an infinite sense of duty to this national business.

For today's last ceremony,

our three determined campaigners

will take an oath through a cheer.

After succeeding in his campaign,

and ready to tie the knot,

Mr. Bae Sang-jin will lead the cheer.

I will get married.

- I will get married. - I will get married.

I will get married.

Hold on!

Cheer with more passion.

I will get married!

- I will get married! - I will get married!

I will get married!

- I will get married! - I will get married!

What kind of girl has a voice that loud?

I thought she'd kill me if I didn't cheer.

Her name's Kim Lara. She translated for me before.

The way she talks is Korean, but what's with her name?

They said she's a Koryo person.

She's notorious for being tough out of all the translators here.

No wonder.

Anyway,

when you meet the girls,

it's hard to communicate with them, right?

Don't you feel frustrated?

I can't communicate with women just the same in Korea.

Who'd listen to a guy like me anyway?

But over here when I talk seriously to a girl,

she looks at me without frowning.

I see.

Sorry if I'm rude, but how old are you?

Born in 1958. Too old to count maybe?

Forty-eight!

Wow, that's my youngest uncle's age.

Hey, let's toast.

To the 13th wedding campaigners!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Preserve everlasting

The autumn sky is wide and high

Like an armor...

Wait, I already sang that part.

Hey, do you see anything?

I don't see anything.

Man-taek, no one's here.

- Man-taek, is this - Stop,

- better or this? - I'm also nervous as hell.

Doo-shik, is this better or this?

On top is better.

Like kids waiting to pee, why are you all so impatient?

Hello.

Never dated before? Hurry upstairs.

You all are embarrassing.

Who is he to talk like that?

Asshole.

Welcome. Please sit down.

Hi, I'm Kim Lara, your translator.

Hi...

You're 38, and graduated from an agricultural high school.

Yes.

Your type is...

Who's Koh Doo-shim from "Farmer's Diary"?

Koh Doo-shim from TV...

"Farmer's Diary"...

Don't you know Young-nam's mom?

What?

Young-nam's mom...

Are you okay with women with kids?

What? Kids?

What kind of farming do you do?

All kinds, I guess.

Is that it?

It's, uh, well, depends on every year.

What is he saying?

He says he does all kinds, since his farm is so big.

Being a taxi driver is a hobby.

I'm thinking about running a small business.

My parents are really ecstatic about lending me money.

Being 28 is a mature enough age even in Korea.

Is there something wrong with her?

Something wrong? What are you getting at?

What?

Do you like rock music?

Music? I'm crazy about it!

Girls love this singer

called Na Hoon-ah in Korea.

I can't run my business right

without his music.

Mr. Hong, you do have a hobby that you like, right?

A hobby, well, I don't do stuff that doesn't make money.

There's got to be something else but farming.

Anything.

Well, uh, there is.

I drink.

With friends!

Alcohol?

No way! My body can't take it!

If even a drop gets in, I'm out for a week!

Instead,

I love going to a big theater.

Tell her that I can do anything for her.

Mr. Hong!

If you came to get set up here, you should at least know how to greet.

Yes.

What is the biggest crop in Korea?

Why are you doing this?

Say that you're farming the most expensive crop.

Well, I don't know which one.

It keeps changing all the time.

But still, think of one. The most expensive one.

And Mr. Hong, think before you talk.

Don�t just spit it out.

Look at me.

I said look at me!

Is there something on my face?

Well, it's not that, uh...

Don't look at me as a woman, but as your younger sister.

Look at me straight.

Good!

I don't have a younger sister.

That Hong Man-taek needs some special attention.

There's always a weird one each time.

Wow, these came out real nice. Incredible work.

Here it is.

Like them? Looks authentic, huh?

Have the money ready?

Yes.

What's this? How much is short?

Sir, I'll pay the rest of the $2000 in two weeks.

Don't put me on the spot here. Tabs are for other goods.

Don't you know my ability?

No matter what I'll pay the rest in two weeks.

Then I'll see you in two weeks.

The passports won't run away.

"See you tomorrow."

Da japaturyu?

Sounds like "lay her down" in Korean.

I like this one.

Mr. Hong, it's me, Kim Lara.

Memorize the note I gave you?

You weren't sleeping, were you?

Oh, right.

I wasn't sleeping. I'm memorizing it right now.

Okay, bye.

She scared me.

I said to look at me.

Look...

Comfortably...

As if I was your younger sister.

You said you liked to drink, huh?

Just blink for yes, idiot.

Even if girls like to drink, they don't like men who do.

Also,

to sweep a girl off her feet really fast,

nothing's better than flowers and jewelry.

Jewelry?

Don't get scared, idiot.

I told you flowers also work.

Women love all kinds of flowers.

Flowers are embarrassing.

Just listen, idiot.

And women

fall for men who are willing to do humiliating things for them.

Sometimes you have to dance in a crowd,

play the tambourine, and...

Why play the tambourine?

I told you to just listen, idiot!

Park Hee-chul!

Where'd you get those cucumbers yesterday?

He said to take two pills after each meal.

Okay.

Do you have a fever?

It's no big deal. Thank you.

Man, you're unbelievable.

A hick like you who drank the canal gets

diarrhea from the water here?

He's really talented!

- Hey, that's enough. - Be patient.

Don't touch this!

Doo-shik, help yourself.

It's not contagious.

There's nothing wrong with being careful all the time.

Hey, Man-taek.

- What's he doing? - Leave him alone.

Go stop him.

That could be better for him than medicine.

Oh, Lara.

Come on.

Turn.

I told you to stop moving.

Do you have the chills?

Hold on.

Farming lately, well, the machines are better...

The work that people do is pretty much...

The chair keeps makin' noises.

So...

It's comin' out again!

His stomach must be upset.

So where were we?

Ah, alcohol.

Considering our family history,

even when I sniff just a little alcohol, I feel...

I'm very sorry.

What can I do if the girls say no?

Try bringing a 22-year old girl to Korea like you said.

Who'd look at you as a couple?

People will frown at you.

Then you want me to come all the way here to find a hag?

Hey, the girls faint over your bald head,

so what magic do you want me to use to coax them?

Under thirty is enough. What more do you want?

Fine, pay $2,000 more. I'll do something about it.

What? Pay more?

Think about it.

If I hand you someone else's partner, then his chances shorten.

Everyone needs to match up for me to make bonus money!

With participation fee alone, only make a buck!

Fine!

I'm a businessman, too!

I can't pay extra now.

I'll pay an extra $2,000 for your bonus if I get a girl.

Is this swimwear or panties?

How humiliating.

Mister Park!

Alona!

It tickles.

Father!

Father!

Mom? It's me!

Everything's alright here.

Except for the canals drying up.

Man-taek, why didn't you fix the water pump last time?

Stop it, why'd you bring that up?

How's he feeding himself?

He said the hotel is feeding him everything.

Hotel? Money? Does he have enough money?

Do you have enough money?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

Did you take the yellow envelop on the shelf?

It's money for the bank interest.

What's wrong with you?

Man-taek, are you feeling okay?

Grandpa! Hi!

Pardon? A bride?

Yes, well, I met three today.

Yes, they were pretty.

Yes, they all look nice.

Yes.

Don't worry.

But Grandpa, if there's work to do, then leave it be.

I'll go and do it all.

Grandpa, get some sleep.

Okay, good night.

Bye.

When will I ever make money if you sympathize him?

Is this some charity business?

Think I'm doing this for fun?

Sir, why are you so hasty?

Only two days have passed. We're not even halfway.

I don't see any promise.

You saw how they all took off within an hour.

This is rare.

He was still nervous today,

and plus he was feeling sick.

Also, you think the girls here are stupid?

Who'd want to go marry a farmer who's almost forty?

Whether he's 18 years old or 38 years old,

who'd want to live digging dirt these days?

Think we'd get a bonus if we hold onto him for a month?

Look at you!

You hick, you're no different even in another country.

Wake up, you idiot!

What for?

Cultural experience, man.

We need to have a little fun while we're all the way out here!

Forget it, man.

You loser. Doo-shik's waiting for us.

Let's go!

Okay!

Wake up!

Wow! How'd you find out about this paradise?

Oh boy, so this is the famous bath of mermaids!

There are many fishes in the sea, Doo-shik!

Okay! Okay!

Doo-shik, do you see her biting the bait?

Where?

They worked in Itaewon in Korea,

and came back last winter.

They know Korean a little.

What do you think? They'll go crazy about them, yeah?

Both of them are dying to go to Korea.

They don't seem like the marrying type.

Okay, good job.

- Thank you, sir. - Okay.

- It's done. - Finished already?

You can pack your bags now and get ready for Korea.

Whether they marry or prostitute,

what's that to you?

Getting used to hiding now?

You don't need a passport?

Why are you bringing that up here?

Where'd you say your hometown was?

Shinuiju, far north of Pyongyang.

Shinuiju, I see.

Risked your life to escape, right?

No need to think it over. The answer is obvious.

Okay, fine.

If this job turns out well, I'll let the $2000 slide.

Da japaturyu!

Da japaturyu!

Hey, they worked in Korea.

Watch what you say.

Stop that, damn it!

Waiter!

You wanted to eat dumpling soup, right?

It looks delicious. Give me your dish.

Sis.

They're tightening up anti-terrorism security for Independence day.

Some who can't get passports

are already seeking exile at embassies.

Is it too little? I should've bought some more.

Are you listening to me?

What did your boss say?

I'll take care of it, so you just eat.

Someone's here!

This man, many, many drink Vodka.

No, I don't wanna.

Come on, come on.

It's okay. Trust me.

Oksana and me, friend, friend.

I knew this would happen, you stupid! ~~

Once my friend comes back,

he'll fall right back to sleep.

So, friend, friend.

- Go away! Let go! - Friend.

Oksana! Oksana!

You asshole!

Even if you had to squeeze it, you should've held it in.

Think I'll get another chance like this?

How could you ruin my chances?

Hey, Man-taek.

You bastard!

Remember what you said to me?

You said "lay her down," and got me all excited.

You said "lay her down."

I did what you told me, idiot.

Shit.

Why isn't anythin' goin' right?

You know how hard it is on me, you bastard?

I shouldn't have brought you here.

You're determined to ruin my life, huh?

You're really damn talented.

Hee-chul, my face is all better now.

Don't talk to me, you bastard. Move out of my way.

What's wrong?

- "What's wrong?" - Yeah.

You my friend, you bastard?

I'm sorry.

I brought Man-taek's shirt that he sent to the laundry.

If a grown-up woman pops into a man's room in Korea,

people get the wrong idea, you know.

Everything dealing with Man-taek here is my responsibility.

Anyway, thank you.

That shirt is Man-taek's.

He has clothes on and I don't, so I cover myself.

What's wrong with that?

He and I have been like brothers

since we were kids.

- Stop it. - Let go, you bastard!

It seems you must get a piece of that bonus pie, eh?

If there was no crumb, why would I do this damn job?

Damn job?

In Korea, if a girl talks back like that

it spells big trouble.

It's one of seven clauses for divorce.

You bastard!

Then get married in Korea. Why'd you come here?

I know why you haven't gotten married yet.

You imbecile. Crazy bastard.

What did she just say?

Shitbull?

She just cursed me out, didn't she?

She meant bullshit, huh? Didn't she?

Yeah, I'm right.

Yeah, she cursed me out, thinking I wouldn't understand.

What gives her the right?

She's like my mom.

Take it off, idiot.

It'll be a piece of cake.

! Let's do a good job.

Hello.

Farming's tough work, isn't it?

Yes, it's too hard to do it on my own.

Well, I got many hired hands.

So it's not too hard.

Still not done yet?

I'm sick of this!

Other people hire extra hands,

but I had to suffer the whole sixty darn years of my life!

Even though it's the countryside,

it's the same as in the city.

Stop!

Mister!

Gosh darn it.

Bus Arrival: Every Hour

Car?

Except for the car used for work,

there's one more.

Man-taek, we're a great couple, aren't we?

The bread came out nice today.

- Have you sold a lot? - Yes, I did.

Shall we go have ice cream later?

I'm translating today. We came together.

That's the guy?

What a tough job.

Wow.

An original.

Doo-shik!

Boy, you lucked out this time.

Hi ya'.

Ain't she too much for you?

She's not a fox, she's a total baby.

It just turned out that way.

I heard you're gonna meet Alona's parents.

You're putting in the final touches now.

Well, even if it's the final touch,

people can change their minds.

Man, seeing you makes me really jealous.

How'd you go and complain?

What do you mean "complain"?

How'd you coax him to get a hottie like that?

Stop talking nonsense.

I mean, if you look at it we're all in the same boat.

Watch your mouth!

Gotta change boats from time to time.

See you later.

Okay, Irina! Let's go!

Pretty, pretty! Oh, good!

Doo-shik.

- See you later. - Doo-shik!

Damn, we all put in the same ante but some get dealt more cards

and some get dealt less.

This is unfair, damn it.

Hee-chul.

What do you think? Like it?

Looks like a taxi driver's uniform.

Man-taek, what do you think?

Like this scarf?

Yes.

Yes, it's nice.

- Shall I take it? - Sure.

By the way...

You've worked hard for me.

I don't know if this will do.

Masha!

Lara, what did I do?

Man-taek!

Lara, what's all this for?

Looks like they're preparing for Independence Day.

I see.

It's wonderful.

Your passport, please.

Man-taek, please run.

Don't ask and just run like crazy.

Hurry, Man-taek.

- What are you doing? - Don't look back and run.

Whatever you do, don't get caught.

Thank you.

Hurry!

Help me!

Thief! Help me!

Freeze!

Stop right there!

Freeze!

Stop right there!

Freeze!

Freeze!

Stop!

Stop right there!

Lara!

Lara!

Lara!

Are you okay?

I worried a lot.

I bet you waited a long time because of your bag.

You ran all the way here from there?

You told me to run like crazy.

I'm good at running, you see.

When I was in school,

I wasn't good at studying, but I was the best at running.

When my father passed away,

I picked him up and ran.

All the way to the hospital.

When I was seventeen.

Aren't you going to ask why?

I thought you wouldn't wanna talk about it.

Well, everybody has something they don't wanna talk about.

Even for me, if someone asks why I haven't married yet,

it's uncomfortable to answer.

Man-taek, you're good with words.

No way.

You must be very tired.

Go get some rest.

Yes, right.

- Lara, you have a good night, too. - Thanks.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Lara!

Da japaturyu!

I really wanted to tell you that.

But I didn't have the chance.

Da japaturyu!

See you tomorrow!

Where the hell were you?

Hey.

Still awake?

I waited for you, idiot. Where'd you go today?

What are you talking about?

I heard you went on a date today.

I must've run my butt off. My legs are trembling.

Your legs are trembling?

Are you serious?

How far did you get?

You're unbelievable.

Oh boy.

Feels good after exercising like that.

Even though it was a bit uneasy.

Why? Couldn't get it up right?

Are you crazy? Get to sleep, idiot!

Bastard.

- Man-taek! - Yeah, Hee-chul.

Say that you didn't see me.

And I'm not in this room.

What's wrong with you?

Help me out here.

You don't know anything, okay?

- Get out first. Go. - What's wrong with you?

Jeez.

Hello.

Where is Hee-chul?

Please tell me the truth.

He's in the room, isn't he?

I have to speak with him.

He was supposed to meet my parents, but he didn't come.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you making me lose face?

When did I ask you to return this?

Tell her that in Korea

we don't take back presents.

I guess you can easily throw away someone's feelings.

I accepted them because I thought you cared.

I don't need your presents anymore.

Take them all back.

She accepted them, thinking you cared.

You gotta stand firm, okay?

Don't worry and go.

I'll meet up with you later.

- Make sure you come. - Okay, okay.

May I sit down here?

Oh, yes, what?

Here, I...

Yes, yes, please sit down.

Wow, the weather is...

Quite nice, isn't it?

Yes, it sure is. And not hot at all.

Wow, great weather.

Kiss!

Kiss! Kiss!

Man-taek.

Man-taek.

You didn't finish. I drank all mine.

I'll pour you a drink.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, Man-taek.

How can you smile now?

I took care of everything yesterday,

so tell her that you're sorry.

Masha, sit here.

And Hee-chul. We need to talk.

What the hell's wrong with her now?

My stomach. I must've eaten something bad.

Where's the bathroom?

Thank you.

As parents, living these past sixty years,

today is the happiest moment of our lives.

Plus, having a solid young man from our native land as a son-in-law...

Look, it's the bride's boyfriend.

Lena.

Have a happy life.

Everyone, come out and dance!

Come on! Come on!

Dance everybody!

What did you just say?

Uh, dance.

Nightclub. Club dance.

Irina, look at me. Dance, erotic, good.

Masha!

Take him out and dance!

Hey, if you don't wanna return home, then please do a good job.

Man-taek, let go!

You bastard, pull yourself together!

Man-taek.

Bastard.

Man-taek, gargle with this.

You're supposed to spit it out,

not swallow it, idiot!

Dummy.

Lara, why did you come outside? Where's my date?

Why the hell did you drink so much?

Hee-chul, you saw that guy, right?

Saw who, idiot?

The guy who spoiled the wedding and left pretending to be cool.

What about him?

Doesn't it ring the bell?

What are you talking about?

About Young-oak, idiot!

When Young-oak and Soo-taek got married.

Soo-taek, the car mechanic in Daegu city.

Are you out of your mind?

That's enough.

You may think I don't know, but I know everything.

I know that after Young-oak's wedding,

you cried all night to her mom.

Yeah, you bastard! Good for you!

Good for you since you know everything!

You damn know-it-all.

Look who's talking, you loser.

Today's wedding was the same, the way I look at it.

Young-oak left because of Soo-taek's money!

Hee-chul, what are you doing? He's your friend!

Shut the hell up, you bastard!

What are you babbling about, you drunk!

You don't know shit!

Man-taek.

I'm okay, damn it.

Let's tell everyone we're rich, too.

Please get up, Man-taek.

What's so bad about lying while we're here?

Right, Lara?

I won't say that I'm a farmer.

You also need to make your bonus, right?

Why is everything so dark?

Get up, idiot.

Eat.

What's this?

Never seen porridge?

Then I'll eat it instead.

It's hot.

You should've told me it was hot.

Got any soy sauce?

It's good.

If your mom knew, she'd be proud.

Now you're an international fool.

Did something happen yesterday?

Forget it. Just stuff yourself.

You always pretend not to remember when you're at fault.

But I find out later you remember clearly.

You don't need to lie.

I've been through this stuff often.

She really was too sick to come out.

Well, she's got reasons to be.

I got chased by the police.

I spoiled someone's wedding.

Think she'd feel like marrying me now?

It worked out for the better, I guess.

I can't lie to her and take her to Korea,

where she'd be depending solely on me.

Lara, you also don't need to lie for me.

Lara.

By the way, where are we going?

I don't believe this.

Park Hee-chul! Where the hell is Man-taek?

Why get mad at me? Am I his wife or somethin'?

What's he saying? Why didn't he come?

Okay, just be quiet.

You see, I'm here to look for my wife.

That girl who you assigned him to should know better.

What does that mean?

Does that bitch want to die?

What did he say?

Shut the hell up!

Looking at his shoe worn out here, he seems to be a sincere man.

You've met a good man.

Yes, he is.

But we're not what you think.

What did he say?

He said that your feet stink.

What?

But my feet don't stink.

He's probably joking.

Have a good meal.

Yes, thank you.

Wow, it's authentic Korean stew.

Help yourself.

Yes, you too.

It's okay. Eat as you like.

Okay.

You're good at chopsticks.

Isn't it too spicy?

It's delicious.

Not like that.

It's dee-licious.

Dee-licious.

Yes, good. Dee-licious.

Dee-licious.

It's the first time I've taught somethin' to someone.

Do much more from now on.

Pardon?

To the woman you'll take back to Korea.

Teach her the language, the manners, customs, everything.

I will.

I hope she's like you.

You talk better than I do.

Lara.

Which is the prettiest?

This looks to be the prettiest.

This?

Yes.

Man-taek.

You scared me.

You're buying a ring for Lara?

I guess you're not getting set up anymore.

She was too sick to meet.

So I didn't wanna stay in the hotel.

Sick?

Yeah.

Lara's boss is having a fit about you dodging her.

Hey, who's dodging who?

Man-taek, I'll be going now.

What?

Lara.

Man-taek.

Which girl is better?

Stop trying to be clever, idiot.

Hey!

Lara!

So who's better?

Man-taek's fishy.

He said he ran a restaurant, but it's a stall on the street!

He said he had an apartment, but he lives in a dark basement!

He said he'd send home $100 a month, but he never once did!

This is driving me crazy.

Whether it's a house or a restaurant, we also believe what they say.

We can't go investigate every detail.

How could you say such an irresponsible thing?

You sent us to a far away country without even checking?

What? Far away country?

How is Korea a far away country?

I worked hard to send you to the motherland.

Drag them out!

- You won't get away with this! - Let go!

Damn you!

Flowers!

Your mother?

Okay, mother.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Thank you for raising her well.

Hey idiot, when did you ever polish shoes?

What?

It stinks.

- It doesn't stink. - Bastard.

It stinks a little.

You all must be bored by now.

From today, Lara will translate for Hee-chul.

Angela will be Man-taek's translator.

I don't want her.

Why her of all women?

Give me someone else or keep it the same.

This is my authority. There's no time.

Just do well with your last chances.

And Man-taek, follow me.

Masha has been waiting for you.

What are you waiting for?

Lara.

What happened to your face?

I'm quitting.

What are you talking about?

This is my authority!

Also, don't talk down to me.

Hey, Man-taek.

Man-taek!

If it ends like this,

I don't have anything for you, either.

Why? Do I still need to be lectured?

Please help me.

What's there for me to help?

I'll bring back someone good for Man-taek.

I beg you. Just...

Even if I help you, there's no use.

Even though he's happy-go-lucky,

if he says no, he won't budge an inch.

Although he always followed me around,

I've never once told him to do something.

But it wasn't an easy decision for him to come here.

He came here with the same intention like everyone else.

If she's nice, decent looking, and if she likes me, then it's okay.

But seeing him like that,

he's definitely been possessed by someone.

Possessed?

Who else could he be possessed by out here?

If she's not stupid, then she should get it.

Many of us have been conned.

When was the last time you saw him?

The event has been shut down until the investigation is over.

Where is the boss now?

I don't know, either.

There's something I need to get. It's very important.

Okay, then I'll tell him when I get in touch with him.

Okay, thank you.

Damn it!

Doo-shik, what happened?

We're screwed.

I can't believe this is happening.

We could lose our participation fee.

What bad could come out of it for you?

I heard you met that girl's parents.

But what if she bails when she hears the rumors?

That fucking asshole.

And did he tell you two to pack your bags?

An unlucky guy falls backwards and even breaks his nose.

I'm shit out of luck.

That Alona girl was okay. She even went to college.

Why'd you break it up?

What can I do now?

No use crying over spilt milk.

This is different from spilt milk.

Come on, you made a big decision to come here.

I was mean to her, so I got punished for it.

Shit.

She's the only girl who cried because of me.

Then go get her back.

How?

I can�t just go to her.

Beg her.

If it doesn't work, get on your knees.

Will it work?

Of course it will.

Or else, you two aren't meant to be.

Come with me.

Are you crazy? Why me?

Please come with me.

No.

Hey butthead!

Stay over there.

Okay.

We're through. Go away.

This isn't working.

You can't do this here.

Alona! I have a lot to say, but I couldn't communicate it!

It's frustrating as hell!

Let go of me.

Hee-chul!

Why are you doing this? Stop it!

Let go!

Alona, you came crying to me that day.

But I didn't like it.

Because you reminded me of myself. Like a fool.

But it wasn't right.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Does it hurt a lot?

I'm okay.

I'm sorry.

For what?

I'm the one who said to come to Uzbek.

And I asked you to come with me today.

What don't you mention the participation fee?

What do you mean?

It's $2,000 but you said it was $4,000.

You knew already?

Don't worry. I'll ask for it later.

Hey, I'll pay you back. With interest.

Hey, why are you smoking, dummy?

Just hoping it would cool me down.

Think it will ease your mind? You won't regret it?

Just going home won't cure you, either.

Man-taek, answer the phone.

Answer the phone, idiot.

Damn it.

Where the hell is he?

Hello?

In the hotel restaurant?

I'm from the consulate at the Korean embassy.

The Korean Wedding Network's event

has been declared a disturbance to the society of Uzbekistan.

All events have been prohibited and all members

have been ordered to return to Korea within 48 hours.

What's this crap?

What are you talking about?

- This isn't right! - Please calm down.

Sir, do you remember me?

Remember my shoes? I came to fix them.

Yes.

I'm looking for that girl.

The girl who sat with me and ate those grapes.

Kim Lara.

Wait.

Ma'am!

Anybody inside?

Ma'am!

I have something to ask you.

Anybody inside?

Hey kid!

Lara.

Kim Lara!

You mean Soon-ee?

No!

Lara!

Does your friend call you by a nickname?

She called you differently.

It's my real name.

Kim Soon-ee.

Soon-ee?

My dog has the same name.

Her last name is like mine, Hong.

Hong Soon-ee!

I'm sorry I couldn't help you. All I did was trouble you.

No way!

A hick like me coming to a place

like Uzbekistan is a big success.

When would I ever go on a trip like this?

Your mother probably had big expectations.

It's okay.

My mom relieves her stress by nagging at me.

Don't you have any regrets?

I don't regret coming here.

But if things go the way they are now,

then I'll regret it.

For a very long time.

If I don't do this before I go,

then I can't see it again.

Your face, Lara.

I'd keep thinking about it.

And I'd smile when I think of it.

Laugh and mumble to myself.

And get shy by myself again.

Lara.

Can I come back for you?

I'll accept it as a compliment.

Lara!

I know I lack a lot of things.

I'm stupid, ugly, and poor.

But I don't wanna live like this anymore!

Lara, help me!

I can come back for you, right?

Lara.

Lara!

I can come back for you, right?

Right?

This is an inspection. Please show me your passport.

What's going on?

ID or passport, please.

Lara, just go! It's no big deal!

Your passport. Where are you from?

I don't understand.

Show me your passport!

Lara, just go!

He's a Korean on a trip here. I'm his guide.

- Check her passport, too. - Let me see your passport also.

I'm sorry, I left it at home.

What are you doing? Give me your passport!

Let me see your bag.

What are you doing? Let go of it.

- I'll return it after I check. - Let go!

- Calm down! - I'm an Uzbekistan citizen!

Stay still!

- Stop this! - Calm down!

You can't do this!

Certified North Korean Citizen She's a foreigner.

Passport check, CA07906, Kim Soon-ee.

One moment.

Her name is Kim Soon-ee? CA07906, Is that correct?

Correct.

Lara, run!

Lara!

Lara, run!

Don't look back!

Lara, run!

Lara, please run!

Please run, Lara!

Lara, run!

Lara, please run!

I told you to run!

Run like hell, damn it!

Hong Man-taek is here.

Mr. Hong.

Mr. Hong.

She came to Russia to work from North Korea.

Three years ago, she escaped here with her co-workers.

Judging by her past, she doesn't seem to be a spy.

She seems to be a defector.

What can you do? Just forget her.

You bastard! I thought you had died.

Can I go home in this shape?

Why? Scared your mom will kill you?

Yeah.

I'm glad you still got your senses in tact.

Oh boy.

Isn't that Alona?

Alona!

It's Alona!

Alona! Alona!

Driver, stop!

Open the door! Stop!

Alona, it's me!

Alona!

I love you, Alona!

Thank you. Thank you.

I don't care if you're not rich.

Please treat her the same as any Korean.

I understand.

Don't telephone.

Telephone, expensive.

Love, okay?

Let's go.

You go first.

I'm having a smoke first.

Shit, I can't come back here.

When will I have the chance?

Uzbekist...

Damn girlie.

Mr. Hong, time to go in. This way.

Mr. Hong, let's go inside.

Time to go in.

Please go in.

Da japaturyu.

Da japaturyu!

Dukam Town Goodwill Sports Event

1 year later

Wait a minute!

You have to hit it

through that thingy to win!

Leave me alone. I can do it myself.

But you have to hit through there first!

See? What did I tell you?

You didn't listen to me!

How'd I know that would happen?

One, two.

Okay, mike test, mike test.

The Women's Society Chairwoman, how are the pancakes coming along?

Hey kids, go away!

Alona!

How could you let a pregnant woman

- carry this heavy stuff? - Hee-chul, that's unfair.

Come on.

Alona, I told you not to carry heavy stuff.

I'm okay.

What do you mean you're "okay"?

Excuse me, can you help me?

Yes.

I heard that Mr. Hong Man-taek lives around here.

- Man-taek? - Yes.

Hong Man-taek.

Hong Man-taek.

I'm from the National Intelligence Service.

Do you know Kim Soon-ee?

Kim Soon-ee and other defectors who sought refuge

at the German Embassy in Uzbekistan on the 24th,

have arrived at Incheon airport

at 9:15 am Korean time on Asiana airlines flight 574.

This time, the 13 North Korean defectors...

I will now put a close to my wedding campaign.

The beginning was humble, but the end was prosperous.
