Original subtitles

What are you girls doing?

This is wrong!

You're now stealing on top of things?

No...

- Run! - Go!

Let go of me.

Cheol Soo, no.

Bong Ja, whose side are you on?

There aren't any sides here.

What's with those girls?

That's no reason to pull the pants off your brother-in-law.

Sorry about that. Urgency got the best of me.

Gosh.

Those brats!

At least be honest with me.

What's in that bag that you have under lock and key?

No wonder they acted this way.

I asked you to keep it safe for me.

Wasn't the storage unit locked?

No, only the door was closed.

With no lock on it?

There's nothing valuable there.

You dare say that after what just happened?

Even though there's nothing valuable in there,

it shouldn't be open for everyone to go in.

That's just wrong.

Who do those girls take after?

Gosh. It seems like Cheol Soo is all upset again...

judging by his dialect.

It's been a while.

Cheol Soo asked for my help wallpapering.

Talk about bad timing.

At that exact moment.

You saw his gaze too, right?

If looks could kill...

Something must be in there.

Why else would he keep it under lock and key?

I agree.

I'll find out whatever's in there.

What is he doing in Seoul?

Judging by the suitcase, he must be here for good.

Where would he stay when he already sold the house?

At your house?

Are you insane?

You moved when I told you not to,

so why are you suddenly back here?

- I was too angry. - Did someone steal your money?

I have three daughters...

who I raised and paid money to put them through school.

But rather than being good to me,

they think I'm like trash, so that's why I came back.

I see other fathers...

being dragged on vacations to celebrate their 70th birthday,

and their families sing songs...

to honor their father's love for them.

Meanwhile, here I am being treated like dirt.

Ever since their mother passed away,

they've been considering me as the killer.

So I'll catch who the real culprit is...

and eat the lettuce wraps fed to me by my daughters.

Why didn't you tell me that you wanted lettuce wraps?

I have more than enough at my place.

The worse kind of betrayal...

is the one you receive from your own children.

No wonder they say it's like being bitten by a viper.

Who said that? Hwang Mang Tae?

No, a guy called Shakes.

First Tes, and now this guy? Is everyone your friend?

Of course.

And every scene is like a movie to you.

So, who's this Shakes person?

I think his full name is Shakespeare.

And how is it that you know him?

I know people too.

I should since I graduated middle school.

"Romeo and Juliet". "How be..."

"To be or not to be."

"That's..."

"It's the question!"

Now, try writing it down.

You just had to say that, didn't you?

Gosh, Dol Se.

If you had stuck to studying, you would've done well.

You have the brains for it.

As if.

My brains are for scheming, not studying.

Considering how poor my family was,

I should be glad to have at least graduated middle school.

My father was against the idea,

but your father was adamant about one being educated.

Rather than going to high school though,

I had to help my family farm.

Watching kids my age go to school in uniforms...

almost killed me.

Trying to manage that rage at the age of 17 and 18...

I know you had it hard.

The pain we suffer from at a young age...

tends to stick with us for some reason.

I only made it thanks to you.

You comforted me every time I was outraged.

I could never pay you back for that.

You still can from this moment on.

Can't you just consider it paid?

What's weird though is that...

I was most jealous of this military drill school uniform.

I envied all kids who wore these.

What do you think?

Doesn't it suit me?

Yes, you look like you're in high school.

I agree.

At ease!

Cheol Soo, have some of this while you work.

- I made zucchini pancakes. - That wasn't necessary...

Don't you need any help?

No, he's all the help I need. Anyway, thanks for this.

It finally looks like a livable unit.

What you don't need can be taken to the rooftop storage.

Got it.

Dol Se.

- Let's eat. - Sure.

Goodness.

Is she dating anyone?

My sister-in-law?

She's still young enough and isn't sick or anything.

It's a waste for her to live alone.

I don't think she's seeing anyone, but who knows?

There probably isn't anyone in the picture at the moment.

But there was in the past?

A long time ago.

There must've been a guy she liked in her younger years.

The guy only strung her along,

but sweet Bong Ja fell for his lies.

She was never able to properly move on from him.

My mother-in-law gave her more than an earful.

If I knew who he was, I would've sliced his neck.

He didn't string her along. Why do people keep saying that?

He was married with kids.

You never know.

He could also have a sob story to tell!

Why are you getting all worked up about it?

Oh, beats me.

I'm just frustrated, that's all.

Dol Se, could it perhaps...

It's not me!

I never said it was you.

Maybe she's the killer.

The wife of Maeng Ja's boyfriend.

That's right.

Should I tail her and see?

Can you do it?

This is my area of expertise.

I thought chatting people up was.

I'm a master at many things.

What's this?

There's even a lock on it.

I doubt it's money though.

That jerk.

Where...

Hey, Taeng Ja.

Do you know me?

Shouldn't you at least greet me?

But I'm not happy to see you.

That doesn't matter.

You could always greet me first.

The younger one should say hello first.

Not when I'm close to writing a will.

Besides, you're the one who cut me out of my life...

when I desperately needed help.

Why would I pay back your gambling debt?

Not even your father could've made me do it.

But one should be saved first.

Because of you, I ended up in prison.

That's not the only reason you ended up there.

Once I got arrested, I couldn't stop myself.

This is why the first step is most important.

If you had helped me back then,

my life wouldn't have turned out like this.

Did saving all that money make you a rich man?

I wouldn't have helped even if I had the money.

Always being so stingy...

landed you in a semi-basement. Serves you right.

Our situation is pretty much the same now.

Watch your grammar!

- Bite me. - Taeng Ja!

I'm still your brother-in-law.

You can't look down on me just because I live in a semi-basement.

Hey!

Pick this up.

You pick it up. You're in charge of cleaning.

I'm sorry, Cheol Soo.

I hate both Maeng Ja and Cheol Soo.

I bet they were married because they were just alike.

What? We were just alike?

I'm nothing like that wench.

You're just the same.

Hey, he's your brother-in-law.

He's not my brother-in-law. My sister is gone.

Gosh, just go in.

Darn it.

This is wrong.

Gosh, it hurts.

Just kick him out. Why would you let him stay here?

Stay quiet.

He's all over the hill.

And he's bald now.

Maeng Ja liked him because he was tall and handsome. Remember?

He was engaged to a girl from a noble family, but she seduced him.

She got pregnant and made him cancel his wedding.

If it weren't for Gwang Nam, he wouldn't have married Maeng Ja.

There's no use anyway. Look how he's ended up now.

Where's Ttu Gi?

She's with her friend from kindergarten.

What kindergarten?

She started kindergarten today. It's nice and close from here.

So why is she going to a kindergarten in this neighborhood?

Of course, she should go to one around here. It's close by.

I can't believe this.

I told you to stay here only for a few days.

Bong Ja, even if it's for one day, she should go to kindergarten.

I also had her sign up for a piano class and a taekwondo class.

I had to spend all the money I had.

This is pretty, isn't it?

Just wait a little more.

They are coming to tear you apart.

- Who? - You know who they are.

Auntie!

Gosh, what do I do?

Why did you call them?

Why? Are you afraid?

You know what I mean!

Auntie!

What's that?

It's been a long time.

Why are you sitting there? You're not a rice bag.

Come here.

Oh, right. Why am I sitting here?

How long have you been, guys?

Forget about the greetings. Just pay back the money.

Look how you talk to your aunt.

You can't get blood from a turnip.

Apart from their money, how could you run away with mine?

- I want my money back now. - I'll pay you back.

Who do you take after to be so merciless?

How much is it?

3,000 dollars for me.

1,200 dollars for me.

And 128 dollars for me. With the interest, it's 200 dollars.

Just sell me.

All your money put together is less than mine.

Just think that you lost the money.

- Are you crazy? - Are you crazy?

Look at her. Does she look like she has the money?

Just wait a little more.

They are so selfish just like their mom.

- Auntie! - Auntie!

You can't speak ill of Mom of all people.

You have no right to say that.

You didn't even come to Mom's funeral.

Look at Gwang Nam's eyes.

She turns her eyes up and down whenever we talk about her mom.

Then stop talking about her.

Okay. I will.

I was in quarantine because of the COVID-19.

My friend contracted the virus.

Did you self-isolate in prison?

That wench.

That's enough.

About your dad,

he will use the basement storage of this building.

I'm not telling you to get along with him.

But you should at least say hi to him from time to time.

He's your dad after all.

What's wrong with our family?

All families are like that.

They might seem happy,

but they have their own problems to deal with.

Mom!

Ttu Gi, did you have fun?

It was really fun. I'll play with her again tomorrow.

Who is she?

She's my daughter.

Mom, they are my cousins you talked about, right?

Gosh, they're so pretty.

What?

"So pretty?"

- Are you sure she's your daughter? - That's what I heard.

She just thought her menstruation stopped...

and her belly got fat, but she was five months pregnant.

- My gosh. - That's unbelievable.

It's so shocking.

- How old are you? - I'm seven. And I'm Oh Ttu Gi.

She's in my family register.

Why did she name her Ttu Gi?

Other kids would make fun of her name.

By the way, why aren't you using the honorifics to us?

You're a lot younger than us.

We are in the same generation of the family.

We can talk down to each other.

Why? Do you have a problem?

You're a little kid, but you're really something.

I don't think she takes after you.

She shouldn't take after me.

You should have a child. It will be a whole different world.

Gwang Nam doesn't want to have a kid.

What if Byun Ho has a child with someone else?

Watch your mouth.

You know my friend, Kyung Soon.

The girl with a freckled face.

Her husband got a child with another woman,

so she was going to get divorced.

But she ended up raising the child herself.

Are you crazy?

I won't do that. I'll get divorced right away.

Just make sure to keep your eye on Byun Ho.

You just live off him without doing anything.

How will you make a living if you get divorced?

Auntie!

You should understand her.

You know my mom is immature.

Why not get yourselves a dog?

What if Byun Ho cheats on you?

You drank again.

What's gotten into you lately?

Blessing.

My dear Blessing.

I know. I'm a blessing to you.

Blessing.

What?

(Shining under Starlight)

Why did you quit your job?

And now you're just carrying around a shopping bag.

You can't run a business.

You can't curry favor with others.

This is just wrong.

Currying favor with others isn't enough.

I can do more than that.

I heard you gave Pyeon Seung 50,000 dollars.

I'm sorry. It was because of me.

I'll pay you back.

Those jerks.

Aren't you going to divorce him?

I will.

I'm taking care of it.

I should go grocery shopping.

Okay. Go ahead.

Gwang Sik.

Are you all right?

Sure.

I'm fine.

I'm glad you're back.

Anyway, thank you for coming back alive.

My stomach hurts.

- Do we have anything to eat? - Cup noodles. Do you want some?

Why don't you lose your mind and cook dried pollack soup?

Lose your mind and cook it yourself.

Take your phone.

You can't find anything in here.

Why do you drink every night these days?

- Are you seeing someone? - No, I'm seeing my child...

What?

It was just a joke.

I guess I'm still drunk.

Do you know how long has it been?

Aren't you attracted to me at all?

That really hurts my pride.

I can't do things like that with my family.

- Just tell me the truth. - Tell you what?

Stop being so silly and go out for fun.

Or do some volunteer work.

I can't do volunteer work.

I'm too busy taking care of myself.

Good for you.

About my dad.

He's living in Aunt Bong Ja's basement storage.

- You should say hello to him. - Why do you do that on my way out?

Make some bean sprout soup before nagging me like that.

There's no husband like me who's ill-treated like this...

when he makes so much money.

You said I was your blessing.

I'm not drinking it.

Watch this carefully.

You saw this a few times, but let's check again.

The culprit is walking along this way.

You're walking back from class,

and you two crossed paths in the back alley blind spot.

- That's right. - This place...

isn't covered by any CCTV cameras, so we didn't get it.

Right now, I need you to be a CCTV.

Me? I can't be a CCTV.

You don't have to turn into a camera.

I'm asking you to imagine the scene.

Think carefully about the culprit's face that night.

I'm sure it was a woman.

The wind and rain were too strong, so I'm not sure.

Have you ever heard of a hypnotist?

"Red sun".

I know that.

People do that to see into their past lives.

I really wanted to try that.

We're not talking about your past life.

Anyway, I'd like you to do that.

Let's do it quick. I'm really curious.

Shall we do it now?

You're a minor, so we can't do it whenever we want.

We'll talk to your parents...

My parents can't know.

I want to do it now.

You just have to go "red sun".

I can't say "red sun" and put you under.

I need an expert hypnotist to say "red sun"...

I think I see something.

Do you see something? I didn't say "red sun".

Over there.

Do you see someone? Who do you see?

It's late at night.

At night?

Someone's walking toward me.

Who is it?

Look carefully. Who is it?

- "My lady. Where are you going?" - What?

A young nobleman called me "my lady".

I think I'm in the Joseon era.

Open your eyes.

Sung Dae. Sung Dae.

My gosh.

Sweetie.

What are you doing to a student who should be studying?

I'm sorry. I really needed some information on the case.

Forget it. Is my daughter an officer?

If you call her over again, I will make you pay!

Mom. I came here myself.

I want to catch the killer,

but I can't remember and it's insane.

Why would you go insane? The police should.

Don't think of catching a killer and try to catch your grades!

We're leaving.

See you again.

You will not!

You said you're an expert.

I'm not warmed up yet.

What are you doing?

You can't open anything like that.

Is it about the suitcase?

Be honest and tell me what's inside.

You don't need to know.

Get going.

This is why you look even more like the killer.

The evidence is in there, isn't it?

- What? - Turn yourself in.

Darn you.

Save me!

Don't come here again!

Two of them?

Yes. He keeps the keys on his belt like his car key.

There's definitely something inside.

Gwang Sik. Can we lure Dad outside...

and get a locksmith to break in?

- Hand it over. - Am I your ATM?

Hand it over.

Hand what over?

These days, my prayers are pretty effective.

Everything I ask for happens.

Shall I ask that you get a windfall,

or that you get struck by lightning?

Take your pick. Is it a windfall or lightning?

Even your threats are so stupid.

I told you that I started working as soon as I learned to read.

Don't take me for a pushover.

You need to be kind to become successful.

How much more successful could I be?

I just need to raise up my own building.

Good for you. Still, I need some money.

Oh, come on.

It's the last time.

Don't frown. When giving, do so without a word.

And leave without a word.

Either way, without a word.

You'll be blessed without a word.

Bae Seul.

I told you to leave. Why did you wait for me?

To give you this.

My grandson's grown, hasn't he?

If you have money for this, buy some clothes for yourself.

You always dress the same. It's embarrassing.

- Are you embarrassed? - Wouldn't I be?

Sorry for embarrassing you.

I'd have changed if I planned on coming to see you,

but I was just passing by when I thought of my grandson.

This training suit has a long history.

Just know that it involves big and small cuckoos singing.

Can you stop saying that? You always talk about cuckoos.

Why don't you add a dancing parrot while you're at it?

I should do that. I should add a dancing parrot.

Do you feel like laughing right now?

I'm not laughing because I want to.

I don't always wear the same clothes.

I have a whole wardrobe of the same clothes like Andre Kim,

and I change every day.

It's really convenient.

I don't have to wonder what to wear each time I go out.

That's why jobs with uniforms are great.

Stop talking about such nonsense.

Think of your kid.

If you come here dressed like this,

what would people think of me?

Are you trying to ruin my future?

Why would I ruin your future?

I should do all I can to make it better.

Take this and put them on my grandson.

I said no!

They're expensive clothes. They weren't cheap.

My in-laws did a background check on you.

They know you have a criminal record.

I had to persuade them to accept me. Do you know how crushing that was?

Our family was servants for generations,

and you have a record.

If only I could, I'd rather not see you again.

I think it's her.

- My gosh. - This is bad.

I thought she was unwed.

- She isn't. - She put up the wedding photos.

(We're married.)

(Gwang Sik is mine.)

(A Spoonful of Moonlight)

Did you not bring any rice cakes?

You should have.

You know I like rice cakes.

Stop talking about rice cakes and let her talk.

What is it?

Pyeon Seung kept coming to my store.

Today he put up our wedding photos all over the store's front.

My goodness.

That's so cute.

Stop him from doing that again.

It's over between us.

You are a married couple.

A legal couple endorsed by our government.

It's not over between you until it says so on paper.

Being out of the country for a year must've done a number on your head.

Please.

Help us get a divorce.

This is only because you feel empty inside.

Managing a diner is probably exhausting too.

Of course.

You should help her out, honey.

I should.

You'll then have the wedding, a baby, and live happily ever after.

You no longer have the house, so take out another loan for one.

Putting up the diner as collateral will get her a bigger loan.

That's possible, right?

You should get a bigger house this time...

so that we can all live together.

We're not that shameless, you know.

It's not like we're trying to live off you.

All we wish for is your happy marriage.

Pyeon Hae, help her wash the dishes.

Honey, you can help with the cooking.

You once worked at a braised monkfish restaurant.

Dad?

Why didn't you answer me?

What brings you by?

Why are you drinking when it's still bright outside?

I got you a new type of cream that eliminates crow's feet.

They say it works wonders.

Leave it...

and write it down in the ledger.

As if you'd ever pay me back.

Don't drink on an empty stomach. It'll only make my life harder.

Don't worry. I won't put it on you.

Want to bet?

You were turned down again.

Enough with the one-sided love. It's not for everyone, you know.

As if you know anything about love.

I may not know what love is,

but I at least know how miserable an unrequited love can be.

The misery piles up in your heart inch by inch.

Do you know how sad it is to be in a one-sided relationship...

with your own parent?

Just forget about him.

You never even once got to hold your grandchild.

Does money grow on trees for you?

Rather than buying things for the kid,

buy yourself some meat to eat.

Why are you drowning yourself in soju?

I'm sure he feels just as bad.

I come from a poor family and have nothing to show for myself.

Of course, he's embarrassed by me.

It must be killing him.

As if. And who's embarrassed by who?

That's just the kind of man he is.

A normal person wouldn't cut...

his father out of his life after everything he was given.

Just give up on him before I walk out on your life.

Why can't you let go of that jerk?

Stop calling him a jerk. He's your brother, you know.

Brother, my foot.

Be grateful to Mom that I at least come by...

to check up on you.

I did enough, you know.

Do you know how much your sick mother nagged me?

It almost killed me.

Still, I looked after her.

Of course, you should.

You're the reason she ended up that way.

Why is it my fault? The illness ran in the family.

If you hadn't cheated on her,

Mom would never have gotten sick.

She wouldn't have died that way.

Do you still not see the pain you brought her?

That's because you don't know.

I also have my own sob story to tell.

Of course, there's a story behind it.

I don't know who that woman is, but she will be punished for this.

She's doing well.

I'm the one who's being punished.

Don't tell me you're still dating her.

As if she'd ever agree to that.

Gosh, you're a frustrating one.

Stop this while I'm still asking nicely.

After that big fight we had, I enlisted in the military...

and was kept in the dark about her health.

I thought she never came to visit me...

because she was angry that I got into a fight with you.

She died a month before I got discharged from the military.

Why didn't you tell me?

Your mother thought you'd run away from the military,

so she told me not to tell you.

I would've cut you out of my life if you hadn't taken care of her.

Don't try to blame anyone.

Being treated this way by your children?

You brought this upon yourself.

I would stay away if it weren't for Mom's will.

You always mention your mom's will.

What exactly was the second part of her will?

That...

I'll tell you on your deathbed.

Then forget about her will and don't come back to see me.

The sight of you only makes me angry.

Why have you hated me all my life?

Have you forgotten what you've been like?

You only listened to your mother and not me.

From the day you decided to become a darn rock star,

I almost died out of frustration.

That jerk's the only son you consider as yours.

So love him even though he hates your guts...

and be ditched miserably.

You brat!

How dare you babble such words. Let go of me.

I'm not in middle school anymore.

I'm no longer that kid who cried after being smacked around.

Let go of me, you brat.

I never once got a choice in life.

All I got was what that jerk didn't want.

Clothes, shoes, and bags.

I was left to use what he threw out.

While he ate both drumsticks,

I was left to eat dry chicken breasts.

Why couldn't we both get one?

What I first learned was to give up on things.

Do you know what that does to your pride?

So when I come across what I truly want,

whether it's an opportunity, money, or another person,

I won't give up on it.

Let this be your life, then.

Stay this way...

and see what I make of myself.

You brat!

You darn putz!

You...

You brat...

- That'll be 11 dollars. - Sure.

It's been paid for.

Thank you.

It's your turn to buy. You haven't forgotten, have you?

(It's your turn to buy. You haven't forgotten, have you?)

Treat me to a meal and I'll pay for the movie.

No movies, darn it. Just pay for the meal again.

I'm starving, you know.

Darn, that looks good.

What...

Darling!

You should've told me you were grilling galbi.

When should the wedding be?

There's a lot to do including a family dinner.

Why don't I give you a hand?

Seriously. Didn't I already tell you...

that your marriage proposal was the creepiest?

Can't we please share?

Won't it look better...

to enjoy the meat instead of eating it alone?

Galbi is best when enjoyed alone.

Touch any of them...

and I'll call the police.

You're unbelievable.

How can one grill galbi at a gosiwon anyway?

You're making others feel deprived.

Talk about a new kind of nonsense.

- Let me at least have one. - Hands off.

What the...

(Don't touch!)

Why are you all taking your food away?

What do they take me for?

Don't you know?

You're known as the leech in Unit 101.

How can people be so mean?

Mr. Manager,

do you have any crumbs I can eat?

Are you perhaps interested in a part-time job?

I agreed to the job, but I don't have any time to spare.

From what I heard, it involves eating.

I'll do it.

I'll do it for sure.

Not yet.

- But it's ready to eat. - Quiet.

The sound must also be recorded in the video.

- Can I at least eat some first? - Quiet.

Let me get your hands in the frame.

Whatever. Let's get it over with so that we can eat.

Let me take some photos too.

You already took some.

This way, people will know that I had company.

Would you agree to another part-time job?

Let me eat first.

My parents have been insisting that I go on a blind date,

but I don't want to marry, you see.

It's not like I don't want to date though.

Can we talk later on and eat this first?

Food shouldn't be overcooked.

This is the perfect time to eat.

Just a second. Are you agreeing to the fake boyfriend gig?

Yes, of course. I'll be your fake boyfriend.

I don't agree to things in advance, but I did for you.

Now, can I eat?

- Not yet. - You're driving me crazy.

This is torture.

You can't stop me from eating like this.

This is just wrong.

Whatever.

But it's still hot!

He's treated like a nuisance at the gosiwon...

and have been asking others for food.

Should I order some jjajangmyeon?

Maybe we should move him to a gosiwon...

that provides steamed rice and kimchi.

It's fine.

Order a bowl of jjajangmyeon.

One that's spicy.

One spicy jjajangmyeon. Got it.

(No lunch today)

Goodness.

My niece had someplace to be and couldn't cook lunch.

I'm home to eat lunch too.

Care to join me?

Thank you.

You have a lot of books. Have you read them all?

I know young people these days prefer lighter cheonggukjang,

but I like mine heavier.

Do you like cheonggukjang?

Since you're young and all...

I used to enjoy it a lot as a child.

I'm glad.

Dig in. I'll quickly fry an egg.

Thank you.

(Ye Seul, don't skip your meals. You'll make it one day. From Mom)

What's wrong? Does the food taste funny?

No, that's not it.

The meal you put out for me...

reminded me of my mother.

She passed away, you see.

Goodness.

My mom's cheonggukjang was always good.

Even when I left home after dropping out of high school,

she'd come by with side dishes...

and make a pot of cheonggukjang for me...

and leave before I got home.

I was too ashamed to visit her on the holidays,

so seeing the table set today...

When did she pass away?

Ten years ago while I was still serving in the military.

I wasn't even by her deathbed.

Oh, dear.

I never got to eat a meal like this ever since my mom passed away.

You looked exactly like my mom when frying that egg.

Darn that fried egg.

How dare it makes one cry.

I've never spoken about this to anyone,

but I felt like I could talk to you.

I'm glad you did.

You must miss your mom dearly.

That's the power of food, right?

Our hometown reminds us of our mom...

which then reminds us of the food she'd make.

We see our moms in food and our hometown.

You're right.

If my niece ever closes up like this again,

join me for lunch.

Thank you, Ms. Oh. I keep putting you out, don't I?

Unit 401 is lucky to have an aunt like you.

A lot of different people live in this building, you know.

They all have their own stories to tell,

but enduring life away from family is what they all have in common.

They're all tired and lonely.

Some achieve their dreams,

some prolong their lives,

and some endure the worst.

No one's endgame is to live in a studio apartment, right?

This is only a place where one rests for a while.

Back when I lived in a gosiwon,

living in a place like this was a dream of mine.

For some people, a place with a private bathroom...

is a dream.

You're right.

We sometimes have a barbecue party up here, so join us sometime.

I know people rarely care about who their neighbors are,

but they can sometimes be reliable.

All sorts of things happen here, you know.

Is that why you named it Shining under Starlight?

That's right.

Every tenant here is a star.

I hope you'll someday shine like one too.

Gosh, the cheonggukjang will get cold.

Let's head inside. I'll reheat it for you.

Do you want the fried egg or not?

I'd love one.

So you can cry again?

Unit 301?

I'm the landlady's younger sister.

We met out front in the middle of the night.

Right.

I guess I can see the family resemblance.

Now you've hurt my pride.

I'm definitely prettier.

Anyway, I'll see you around.

You sly fox.

- I was right. - Right about what?

Unit 301. You said he wasn't your boy toy.

- Consider yourself busted. - Hey.

Life is all about having fun, you know.

Let people enjoy you for a cheap price.

I'm not you, you know.

Flaunt it for cheap, my foot.

How did it go?

They're impossible to talk to.

They want me to be a good daughter-in-law.

That crazy family.

I should meet them myself.

Just leave it, Auntie.

You can't deal with those ignorant people gently.

You have to act crudely to get your message through.

Can you do that?

I've run my business in a local market for a long time.

There's no way I lose a battle.

I can swear, and I'm brawny.

I agree.

I've been asking around.

There's nothing I can do when they hold out like that.

That's how the law works.

That's too bad.

Oh, right. I fed the bachelor from Unit 301 for you.

He's not a bachelor. He's a father of twin babies.

Is he?

So did you move to Seoul for good?

Yes.

You've lost some weight. Are you busy with work?

I guess that's because I recently moved to a new company.

Here.

- Gosh. - It's not much. Please take it.

Thank you. You do this every time.

Is everything going well with Gwang Nam?

Yes.

I wish you had a child.

It's too late though. Gwang Nam is in her 40s now.

Actually, Maeng Ja's younger sister got her daughter in her 50s.

I once thought I wouldn't need a child.

I just wanted to enjoy my life.

But now I'm envious of my friends who are raising kids.

They say they're jealous of me,

but they look happy when they talk about their children.

I know.

Who wouldn't want to have their own children?

That's basic human instinct.

Swing.

- That was great. - Was it?

You're a genius.

- Buy me some ice cream then. - Sure. I will.

Let's do it again.

That was really nice.

What are you doing here?

We need to talk.

Dad!

Don't call me like that.

Whoever has a problem, you can just go see a doctor.

You should at least try.

Tell me the truth.

Is it you or Byun Ho who has a problem?

Are you here to say that?

Since when do you even care about me?

Since before you were born.

I've cared about you since you were in your mom's belly.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have married her in the first place.

If you cared about me,

why did you let my grandparents be so hard on me for being a girl?

They weren't so hard on you.

It's not like what you think.

It seems wrong now, but it was right back then.

Forget it.

Just tell me...

who did it to Mom.

I wouldn't be sitting like this if I knew that.

You said we needed to talk, so I thought it was about Mom.

I don't want you to be in my house, but I let you in because of that.

If you tell me the truth now,

I will plead with the judge for mercy.

We need to know the truth.

The suitcase.

Let me see what's in the suitcase.

There's nothing special.

Why do you want to know?

If you didn't kill Mom, there's no reason you can't show me.

You will find out when the time comes.

Byun Ho doesn't seem to feel the same with you.

Please.

Let me see what's in the suitcase.

All men are the same.

This is wrong.

Don't tell me you've been avoiding having a child.

I didn't say anything special.

Why would Dad be like that when you didn't say anything?

I'm having a meeting now. Bye.

Did you not get my text message?

I scalded the roof of my mouth and tongue,

so I can't talk right now.

You scalded the roof of your mouth and tongue, so you can't talk?

What did you eat?

You had budae jjigae?

- Yes. - Aren't you hungry now?

You scalded your mouth, so we should eat some other time?

Okay.

Ttu Gi.

Mom.

I've missed you so much.

You saw me this morning. Why did you miss me?

Shall we skip the piano class and go have fun?

Forget it. What kind of mom tells her kid to skip a class?

I have to go.

Let's just go on an outing.

Just go home and wipe the floor or something.

So Aunt Bong Ja can't kick you out.

You're so sweet. I wonder who gave birth to you.

You gave birth to me.

I'm running late.

(Today's special, pork cutlet)

Is today's special pork cutlet.

Yes. Have a seat.

I'm so into pork cutlet.

You always say that.

Thank you for the food.

It's so good that I don't have to choose a dish.

Having to make a choice every day suffocated me.

Good idea!

Is it going well?

I'm working. I want you to leave.

Will you say hi to me?

- How are you? - Let's just say I'm good.

You seem busy, so I'm here to help you.

- What do you want me to do? - Please don't be like this.

I have customers now. Please leave.

Your father-in-law told me to come here and help you.

I'm not your daughter-in-law.

You're her daughter-in-law yet.

It's pork cutlet.

Go have a seat and eat one.

Pyeon Seung loves pork cutlet.

Mom, you should sit too. It's really good.

She's really good at this.

Go.

Hey!

You can't be like this even to a beggar.

You said your father is the eldest son of the head family.

You are so kind to others, but you never smile at your husband.

You're running a restaurant to hit on men, aren't you?

Get out with your mother.

She told me to go with you.

I should say what I need to say.

What about my son is not good enough for you?

You seduced a man who's five years younger than you.

And now...

you are just running this tiny restaurant.

I even forgave you when you had an affair for a year.

Don't be ridiculous.

Just ask anyone on the street how controversial it can be.

If you behave yourself, we will help you do the dishes.

We can also serve behind the counter.

It depends on how you behave.

That's enough.

There are other customers.

Who are you to meddle in?

I guess you're the one she had an affair with.

Na Pyeon Seung.

Mom, let's go.

We should leave her alone when she says, "Na Pyeon Seung."

Stop sticking your nose in our business and finish your food.

We're meeting often, aren't we?

Are you on your way home?

Unit 401.

Why are you being a fool?

You throw a tantrum at us all the time.

You should do something so they can't say things like that again.

Why would you let them do that to you when there were customers?

They say those who hold things back are fools these days.

I don't want to hold it back.

I don't want to stop keeping my temper in check.

Then why do you hold it back?

He was a scumbag who cheated on you even a year ago.

Why did you not divorce him back then?

You don't seem that way, but what's wrong with you?

How do I look?

You look smart and shrewd.

Act the way you look.

You're not stupid, so don't act stupidly.

They say that smart women make stupid personal decisions.

Do you know how cool you were then?

In the subway, you were so awesome.

No one's brave enough to demand a seat they deserve.

Where'd that person go?

Why are you so intimidated?

Don't comment if you don't know the facts.

Sue them, then.

I'm the spouse at fault, so I can't win even if I do sue.

They're doing that to find fault with me so I can't sue.

I have to put up with it, so they don't gain leverage.

What did you do that's so wrong?

You heard what she said.

I left the country for a year without telling them and cheated.

I caused social unrest.

You made me a cheater as well.

Those people are really weird.

Do they like doing this?

Pretend you didn't see anything.

It's so embarrassing.

Why are you out and about and not in bed?

Were you out somewhere?

Did you have dinner?

I did. It's late.

Okay. Don't stay out too long and go home soon. Bye.

Why are you here?

I thought you were talking to me.

Did you go to the corner store?

I left you some lettuce.

Eat it as a ssam. They're delicious.

How dare you come here? Are you crazy?

I have a long way to go before I'm crazy.

I came to give you some lettuce.

They're organic. I didn't use pesticides.

They're nice and slightly bitter.

I brought them for you.

You love to eat ssam and you're feisty too.

Do you think I want to crack jokes?

What if you meet Cheol Soo?

Taeng Ja's here and so are my nieces.

What is Taeng Ja doing here? What does she want to steal now?

Cheol Soo told me she stole from you 7, 8 years ago.

Tell her to leave. She'll only upset you.

I'll deal with her.

If she finds out, I can't live with that.

How would I ever face Cheol Soo and my nieces then?

Dating you was the greatest disgrace of my life.

I don't want anyone to find out.

I'm the greatest disgrace of your life?

Yes.

I was only a disgrace?

Yes.

Okay. I get what you mean.

From now on, I won't get caught when I leave stuff.

Don't you get the point?

I get it.

I might not get anyone else's point, but I get yours clear as day.

Don't get so worked up and taste the lettuce.

I don't need to eat lettuce. If I do, I'll buy some.

I can get lettuce anywhere in the market.

You can't compare this to that.

It's my affection.

Why... What...

Do you want to see me die?

I can stand seeing anyone else die,

but not you, and I won't let you die.

Doesn't Cheol Soo sleep?

Why is he out and about?

Go home.

You can do as you want. I will do as I want.

Just don't be sick.

You are my one and only baby.

Are you teasing me? Why call me "baby"?

In American movies, they say, "Oh, my baby."

That means what I just called you.

They copied me.

If you're sick in the head, don't wander about and see a doctor.

Don't throw away the lettuce. Taste some.

You can hate me, but don't hate the lettuce.

Don't just look toward me and have fun on your own.

We missed something.

I must go back to the beginning and look more thoroughly.

All men are the same, you fool.

Hello.

Hello.

My boy has grown, hasn't he?

He ran a fever a few days ago and his dad was up all night.

I see.

His dad is crazy about him.

"Our Blessing, my Blessing." That's what he calls him.

I see.

Do you live nearby?

I live in the apartment behind this one,

but I like the trail here, so I come here for walks.

It must be so nice to live in a new apartment complex.

Isn't it?

Okay.

- Bye, then. - Goodbye.

Ms. Shin. We need to talk.

What are you doing?

I just don't get it.

Talk to me. Leave my wife alone.

I'm disappointed in you.

I was just curious.

Is she a woman who can solve our problem?

It's up to you and me to solve...

You have a point that we must live together for our son,

but what's the meaning of that when we feel nothing for each other?

Why care about points and meanings now?

We have a child already.

We're still young to live together just for a child.

We have many years ahead of us.

We must have some sort of feeling...

I think I can love you, Mr. Bae.

What?

You can try a bit harder too.

We'll be really great partners.

Two in a pack, one plus one.

You take us both or give up on both.

I'm legally married.

Let's do this, Ms. Shin.

I thought about it long and hard.

If you give me Blessing,

I'll give you everything I own.

How much do you have?

Do you have 10 million dollars? 100 million?

- No. - I told you.

My Blessing...

is my own life.

It's the last gift from the heavens.

You gave her a necklace over dinner,

and you still couldn't tell her, and you say you'll do what?

Also, I really hate how you call me Ms. Shin.

It's Maria!

- Come by again. - I will. Bye.

Hello. I haven't seen you in a while.

I know. I've run out of ideas of what to cook.

How much is the mackerel pike? My daughter loves it.

If she likes this, she must do well in school.

Mackerel and mackerel pike makes you smart.

I wish that were the case.

She doesn't care about her studies.

She's suddenly showing interest in detective movies.

I'll take ten dollars' worth.

Sure.

I just checked the place.

We need a ladder truck.

The basement parking lot ceiling is too low and a truck won't fit.

Bye.

Gwang Sik.

Stop bothering me.

Gwang Sik.

Gwang Sik.

Leave before I call the police.

If you're drunk, go home and sleep it off.

Stop playing hard to get.

Stop this!

This cheeky behavior won't get you anywhere.

You and I are legally...

I see you're still open.

I'm done serving food.

I know.

We live in the same building, so we should head home together.

What on earth?

Do you two live together?

What are you talking about?

- I live in Unit 401. - And I live in Unit 301.

So you live in the unit above his?

Hold on.

I feel like we've met before.

We've met, haven't we?

We have.

You did, here at this diner.

Unit 301, you should go.

It's you from the tent bar. The pajeon!

You also took his side back then.

Have you been dating all along?

Don't be ridiculous.

He only just happened to move into my aunt's building.

So a coincidence?

No, this seems fishy.

Did you travel the world together for a year?

You're drunk. Unit 301, you should go.

How dare you?

What's this show you're putting on?

You're having an affair.

She's my wife!

That's enough.

You seem to be drunk, so head home already.

Unit 301,

stay out of this.

So answer me.

Is it him or me?

There's only so much I can take.

"Neighbors in Love". That could be the title of a movie!

Seriously?

Unit 301, I told you to leave.

You should come too.

Is he the reason?

This jerk is why you want to divorce me!

Watch your words, will you?

I'd rather not be called a jerk.

Now, come on.

Stay out of this!

The old hag I married...

is leaving me for this punk.
