Who are you?

And who are you?

Sorry?

Are you Mi Soo or Mi Sun?

You're definitely not Tae Sup... so you have to be Mi Sun or Mi Soo.

I'm Mi Soo. Who are you?

Who....are...you?

Mi Soo?

Omo.... you're Mi Soo.

Omo?.... Oh My God!

You're Mi Soo? You're Mi Soo.

Do you know who I am?

Well... not really...

I'm Aunt Shin Ja

You know... Aunt Shin Ja.

Amo... Aunt?!?

Really?... You're Aunt?

Of course. It's Aunt Shin Ja.

I can't believe it.

We talked about you twice today.

It's amazing!... Hello.

Wow! You've grown into a beautiful young woman.

I've missed you..... Our Mi Soo....

How could you come without calling? We would have gone out to the airport.

I was trying to surprise all of you. It wouldn't be fun if I Iet you know beforehand.

My motto for life is "Enjoy your life!"

Seoul has changed so much.... And the airport is further away.

Kimpo Airport has changed to Incheon Airport.

Let's hurry and go inside. Mom isn't sleeping yet.

Grandmom is probably not sleeping yet either.

Mom's going to be so surprised.

Grandmom?!?... Who is grandmom?

Grandmom...It's been 36 years since mom and grandmom were able to meet again and live together.

She's here in our home.

Wait a minute... what did you say?

Met grandmom?

You mean MY mom?

Yes.

How did they meet?

Your mom searched and found her?

No, it's not that...They met by chance.

It hasn't been that long.

I can't believe it.

That's not something I imagined...

Anyway... let's go inside.

Wait a second..

Our beautiful Mi Soo...

How did you grow up so fast?

Ah, right... but...

Your mom might throw water at me...

I cant get this wet.

Give me your bags.

That's okay. It's heavy.

I'll take it.

Really?

Just take one.

Mom!

Let's go in quietly....That might be better.

It's better than going in with fanfare.

What if mom faints?

Fainting?...

That would be fun.

But your mom is not the type of person to faint.

Mi Soo...

Who is it?

Mom...

Who was it?

A guest.

A guest?!?

Who am I?!?

Do you recognize me, un ni?

My sister really is surprised. Un ni!

Get out!

Who is your sister?.... Get out right now!

Get out.... get out...

Mom...

How dare you think you can come here?

Get out right now!

This is just like you.... I knew you would be like this.

Why am I your sister?

I'm not your sister. I'm not, so get out!

Why are you doing this?

Un ni....

I'm sorry.... I committed a deadly sin. I can take the cursing or beating.

Do you want to hit me?

What?... what's going on?...

Are you Shin Ja?

Are you really Shin Ja?

I wouldn't recognize you if I saw you on the street.

You look so different than when you were twelve...

Where have you been all these years...that you haven't kept in touch?

Wait a minute.

I came to see my sister.

First, I have take all her cursing...and beating. So you'll have to wait a minute.

Un ni. Isn't it still better that I came to see you than having my death certificate sent to you?

I don't know you, someone who claims to be my sister.

I don't know you, so get out of my house!

I haven't thought of you as my sister...

Get out.... get out!

Mom, why are you doing this?

How can you be so harsh?

It's not like she was living here. She's been living abroad. How can you be so harsh?

I'm glad you're here... It's a good thing...

I must have had a good dream... to see you again like this.

Have a seat... have a seat.

If you're so glad, then both of you can leave.

Go ahead and leave.

Un ni...

You can hit me as hard as you want... just enough to be alive.

And forgive me...

Unni!

But I really wanted to see you. That's why I'm here.

I was so busy with my life... that I've lost contact with you.

What did you do that's so heinous?

Before I left for the states, I did something really bad against her.

When I was still immature...

Unni...

Where are you telling me to go?...this late at night...someone who just came from the states?!?

Go ahead and kill me.... but I'm still not leaving.

If you want, then go ahead and kill me.

Why do you think I came back?

I will give a present to the person who guesses correctly why I came back.

Why would I, Shin Ja, come back in 23 years?

Since you said you did someething horrible, you wanted to ask forgiveness before it's too late?

Of course...that's part of it.

But that's too easy of an answer for this quiz.

Then...

I have a hard time saying, "Mom".

Mom, take a guess!

Me...

Okay... Mi Soo.

Can I guess tomorrow?...since I don't know you very well...

How smart!

Why are you hugging?... as if you know her...

You've got some nerve!

...that temper of hers...

So I get to meet my mom...

My spirited mom....has aged a lot...

Is there a way to stop the aging?

Aunt...aunt... where did you live in the states?

New York.... I'm a New Yorker.

I've always wanted to visit New York!

New York is the best!

Come and visit. I'll take you around everywhere.

That's great!

You promise?

Of course!

Who is it?

Who is it?

Un ni. It's me.

Why aren't you coming in?

You just gave birth, and you're walking around with the baby?

The night air is chilly.

Aigoo... come inside.

Un ni.

Ya... Shin Ja...

Shin Ja...

Shin Ja!

Shin Ja!

Shin Ja!

What is it?

Wait a minute...

This one...

This is for Mi Sun.... isn't it stylish?

You have to wear it long...around your neck.

Thank you, aunt!

I only remember you when you were little.... so it was hard to get something...

I've thought about you so much...

Aunt, then you didn't think about me at all?

You just bought anything for me?

No, that's not it.

It's just that Mi Soo is the youngest... so I paid a little more attention to hers.

Here.... this is for Mi Soo.

Great... I think I picked something that fits you.

Wow... thank you.

Open it and try it on.

Yah... you don't wear hats often. Aunt, I wear hats more often than she does.

You have to wear hats to be stylish.

Make sure you wear hats, okay?

Oh, so pretty.

Thank you.

Aunt, what about a present for mom?

Of course, I have one.

What about for grandmom?

I never dreamt that I'd be seeing her, so I didn't buy one.

Never mind.

But I do have something to give you, mom.

I think you and I have similar tastes.

Wait a second, mom.

What would be good...

That's nice...

That's pretty.

Thank you for taking Joon home.

You're welcome. It's not a big deal. I can do that any time.

Mom...

.

Mom...

Why are you like this?

Were you that upset with Aunt?

I thought you didn't think alot about Aunt...

but maybe you kept your feelings for her deeply hidden in your heart.

You're overreacting.

Anyway....Aunt came back.

...looking very happy...

I think you're making her feel bad.

Let it go, mom...

She came back in 23 years. Think how hard it must be for her when you're acting like this.

If she goes back like this, I think you'll regret it.

Even then... I still don't like it.

Ah cham.... Mom, that's not a cheap one.

It's so comfortable and useful in the winter.

Who sleeps in this room?

Your sister and I did.... but you'll have to sleep here, too. There's no other rooms.

It looks alright for you and un ni, but If I sleep here, it'll be too crowded.

Unni is amazing... how can she live here for all those years?

But if she had moved, then I wouldn't be able to find her.

You have nerve to come back like this. What if she had moved?

I would have just asked around the neighborhood. Why worry?

You sure are confident.

I couldn't have lived 23 years in the states without it.

Where did Unni go?

Unni!

Go back...

Amo...why did you come out here alone to drink? We should drink together.

Go and get some sleep...

Aunt, can you sleep...with the time difference?

Who knows? I'm not sure...

If I can't fall asleep, I'll take a sleeping pill.

Good night!

Good night!

Is there any left?

It's empty.

Tell me the truth.

Why did you come back?

I told you earlier.... A rich black man kept bothering me to get married, so I ran away.

He has a lot of money...

but he's 72 yr. old, and he kept asking me to marry him every day...

It was driving me crazy... That's why I left.

If you say anything...

to Mi Soo,

it'll be the day that you die and i die.

Aigoo, really.

That must be why you were so angry...

I thought you were overreacting about not keeping in touch for 20 yrs.

Un ni. Don't worry so much. I don't want that either.

I'll become a mother who abandoned her child.

Do you have any more?

Swear it...

You did a great job in raising her.

Should I say "great job" or "thank you"?

Why should you?

You have nothing to do with her... so why?

Anyway...

Okay.

I hated mom.

Do you know how old I was?

I was twelve years old.

Now, I understand her better.

...but not when you're twelve...

Be quiet.

Go to sleep.

Back then, you were like a mother to me.

I used to follow you around everywhere.

I thought what if you left, too. I'd be left alone.

When you live long enough, I guess there are days like today.

Hi! Who are you?

Sorry?

Ah, I said who are you?

I'm Yun Mi, and this is Yun Ji.

So you're Yun Mi and Yun Ji.

But who are you?

Me?

This is aunt-grandmother.

She's grandmom's sister. She came last night from the states.

Say "hello"!

Hello!

Hello

How old are you two?

I'm seven, and my sister is five.

How about school?... Not yet?

Good morning, everybody.

Aunt, did you sleep well?

I tossed and turned.

Un ni, I'll just have coffee and bagel.

Why are you ignoring her?

You're so cold to your sister whom you haven't seen in 23 yrs.

I'm sure she'll get over it soon.

Make breakfast for Shin Ja.

I don't even know what she's asking for...

Ah cham... un ni...

That's what Americans eat for breakfast... it's a type of bread.

I know what it is. I'll go buy some.

Where are you going?

Jogging?

In New York, I used to jog for an hour every day in Central Park.

I'll jog for an hour and be back.

Let's go together.

Where are you going?

I'm going to get the bagels.

There's a place that sells that in the morning?

Joon, what're you doing?

I'm going to take this to grandpa's room.

Why don't you leave it here?

Joon....instead of that... let's put your clothes in the drawer.

Don't leave it in your bag.

I don't want to!

Why not?

Joon, are you angry?

What is that about? Why are you angry?

Tell me.

Is that why you brought the bag?

If it's because of me going abroad,

I already told you everything.

We'll only be apart for a short while.

I promised. What's wrong?

We're going to live together.

For everyone... there are things that don't always work out the way you want it to.

So sometimes you have heartaches or sadness...

You don't always have excitement and happiness. You know that, right?

I don't want to be away from you either...

but I have to do that for a short time.

I know.

Then can you try to be understanding?

For Joon to understand his dad's heart,

he'll have to be older...

How was business this month?

Last month there was no salary for the owner...

Well... father-in-law...in the winter... the business is slower.

Why the long story?.... Answer simply.

Yes or no.

All of Korea is faced with economic woes...

Be quiet.

So what is it?

No, it's not doing well.

Then leave the owner/president spot.

Dad!

Why is your voice so loud?

Dad,

He works really hard... and gets a bloody nose often.

It's hard enough, don't hurt his feelings like that.

No one asked him to get a bloody nose?... I told him to take care of the business well.

I'm sorry, father-in-law.

The construction companies in Korea right now are...

I don't want speeches... just leave the president position...

You don't have the qualifications to stay in that position if you don't make a profit.

Father-in-law,

who is going to take care of the business?

I will.... I'm going to take the president position.

You're the CEO.

I'll do both - president and CEO.

I can't leave someone who can't make a profit.

Then you'll have to leave both positions if you can't make it work...

I'm going to close the store.

Dad,

what are you doing?.... so early in the morning?

He's working so hard. He'll be demoralized.

He didn't work as if his life depended on it...

Tell me, did you work that hard?

...as if your life depended on it?...

Not to that extent

See what I mean?.... He didn't.

So what's your point?

Did he take your store and run it into bankruptcy?

Dad...that's enough...

I'm afraid we're close to that.

No, it's not, father-in-law.

We've carried on Sejong Tiles for 50 years,.

and for the next 100 years,

We will, uh, continue.

Grandpa, you're making uncle sweat...

It's winter... and I'm sweating...

Why ARE you sweating?... You can go ahead and step down. What's the problem?

What's so important about being president of a tile store?

Eh...that's a good job!

Se Jong tile is famous... and well-known

Father-in-law made a very strong company...

What's that?

What's so great about a tile store president?

Okay... okay...

It's great... great.

Mom.

What are you doing here?

You're here so early in the morning...

Hello, mother-in-law.

...and both of you together..

I heard aunt is here.

How did you know that?

Mi soo called me in the morning. I was so shocked.

She came without letting us know.

Go ahead inside. Are you going to work?

Un ni.

Un ni.

Who?

Aunt.... I'm Tae Sup.

Umoo... Tae Sup.

How have you been?

My goodness... Tae Sup...

You're an ajussi now...

You're so cute...

I didn't expect to see you like this.

It's so great to see you...

Yes.

This is my wife.

... a stewardess?...

It's nice to meet you. My name is Hyun Joo.

Oh...

You know what my dream used to be?

...to be a stewardess...

Why didn't you do it?...

I think you could have done it.

I know....with this face and figure...

You're more stylish than Hyun Joo.

You're going to be in trouble later...

Let's go inside... Why are we standing in the yard?

Mi Sun and Mi Soo aren't here?

They went out.

Are you leaving for your flight?

Yes.

Domestic or international?

International...

Where do you go?

Almost everywhere... Asia, Europ, the US...

That must be nice...

It's difficult work...

Did you come by yourself?... What about your family?

I'm single.

I'm an independent woman.

How long are you staying?

Why don't you stay a long time?

I want to... but I have work to do in the states... so I'm not sure.

Let me know if you have places to go... I can take you.

Oh, there's so much. There's Dongdaeamoon, Myeongdong, and they say Cheonggayecheon is awesome!

And Changgyeongwon too!

Right now, it changed from Changgyeonwon to Changgyeongoong (Changgyeong palace).

oh my really?

Tae Sup, you turned into a fine gentleman. I'm so glad to see you.

I heard from Ms. Oh.

Okay... I understand

Hello.

It's me.

Can you talk?

Yes, but keep it short.

I'm in a meeting.

Dad said he'd like to meet with you. Do you have any reason to come to school?

.I do,

I have to turn in my progress reports.

Then come over. I'm at home.

I think he wants to talk to you.

I have to come back early.

I have to meet a client at night.

I'll call you from school.

You can't have dinner?

He has an appointment.

I'm sorry.

I have a dinner engagement.

It's a client.

Should we have scheduled for another time?

No, that' alright. I had to come down.

My friend in Paris called me.

He said that you'll need time to find a place to stay.

He suggested that you start looking now.

That makes sense.

I didn't want to tell him to start looking without discussing it with you first.

I told him that I'd call back.

Dad, call him and ask him to start looking.

You don't have any concerns, right?

Yes.

Okay. Let's go ahead and do that.

I was thinking...

it would be good for you to get your doctoral

.My friend said that since you have your own architecture company and practical experience

as well as teaching experience of lecturing...

He thinks it will be a good opportunity for you.

That would be good for our school as well.

I think so, too.

You've been thinking about it, too?

Let's check out, my son....

It's the same me...

How many times have you gone on a blind date?

This is my third.

I wonder why none of them have worked out...

Once, she turned me down.

I turned down the second time.

Third should be the right one.

Is that right?

Even if you're not too impressed with her, you should be courteous. She's my friend's sister's daughter.

Hmm, how many?

She's my friend's sister, and if she's her daughter...

I'll be back.

oh wait a minute son.

.

Mi Soo, where are you?

Cafe Town?

Yah... I'm going on a blind date.

Go or don't go...

What does that mean?

Your friend is going on a blind date...

What do you want me to do?

Blind date is a step before marriage, right?

I might get married, and you don't even care?

Are you bragging?

Why are you acting so stupid?

... Is your IQ two digits?

Are we still in the Chosun Dynasty?

If you go on a blind date, you're getting married?

Yes... I'll call you back.

I wish you good luck.

Wish me luck?

Hello.

Hello.

I'm so glad to see you.

I'm a little thrown off....to meet you unexpectedly like this.

Do you have work here?

Sorry?

The camera.

It is work.... but I can have coffee.

I go around and take pictures.

Do you want to buy me coffee?

I think I still have credit for a cup of coffee with you.

How about dinner?

I've been running around all day, and I'm starting to get hungry.

That's good.

Why don't we eat around here? Do you know of a place?

No, I don't.

Let's look around.

There are restaurants and cafes all around here.

Let's look.

How many times have you gone on a blind date?

...blind dates?

Yes.

I haven't counted.

Why should I count?... That would be annoying.

So too numerous to count?

You haven't found your soul mate?

If I did, then I wouldn't be here right now.

Having gone on numerous blind dates,

you haven't met anyone that pulled your interest.

Is there a reason to keep going on them?

I do.

That's a relief.

I would feel silly if you're here just to please your parents.

Have you had more experiences turning someone down or being turned down?

I'm not sure.

SInce I haven't counted.

Oh, it's good!

This restaurant was a good choice.

It's so delicious...

If I don't hurry, I might not have anything left to eat.

Probably...

I was REALLY hungry.

Normally, I would defer to the woman, but not today.

Whoever eats the fastest will have more...

Oh, what is it?

There are 3 sets of blind dates going on here. I prefer one from another table.

What should I do?

Are you calling me with the lady sitting in front of you?

She went to the restroom.

You even call me in this kind of a situation?

Hurry up and hang up.

Where are you?

What're you doing?

Just have fun on your blind date...

Are you sleepy?

Hyun Woo is on a blind date?

Yes.

He's broadcasting what's going on during the date.

You two have a really fun friendship.

Sometimes it's really fun... and at times... I want to beat him up.

There are times when you want to hit him?

I have hit him before.

Really?

Hello?

Yes, Young-Min.

Joon keeps wanting to call his mom.

What should I do?

Young-Min...

What should I do?
