My Love, Don't Cross That River

Because I'v stayed at my daughter's house for a couple of days, there's a mess.

Because my eyes hurt and I visited an ophthalmologist, there's a mess.

If my eyes didn't hurt, this would not happen.

I visited an ophthalmologist because my eyes hurt and there's a mess.

I'm so tired

Leave it, I'll do it.

Thank you.

Thank you

Oh my lord

Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this? Why?

What is wrong with you, dear

so eccentric

Stop it, stop

What is this?

they are flowers.

What did you pick the flowers for?

I like flowers.

You like it? Yes

I like it, too.

You look more handsome.

You want me to put this on your ear?

This will look better

I'll put it here, too.

Do I look better?

Yes, of course.

Then I'll put it on your both sides.

You look better, too.

oh I like it, you look good.

You look really handsome.

I'm so old, but you are not.

Honey, please stay here with me.

-Don't go anywhere. - OK

-Please stay here. -OK

-Sing a song for me. -OK

-Don't you go anywhere. -OK

-Because I'm scared. -OK.

-Sing a song. -OK

-Don't you go anywhere. -OK

(Grandpa singing a song)

You, too, can sing.

You can sing, you are a good company.

Aren't you cold?

It's not cold when I'm with you.

I was worried about you because it's cold

It's not cold

Thank you

(Grandpa singing)

I'm so tired

So tired

Sit down and take some rest.

I'm so tired

You had strength(energy) before.

You used to lift heavy things because you had good energy.

How do you feel now that you have no energy?

Well, it's unpleasant.

I used to have good strength

I have no energy left

Get up slowly.

I'll lead the way.

As time passes, people get old.

You can't do anything about it.

I'll be 100 years old in 5 years.

If you live long enough, you could live up to 100 years.

-You could live up to 100 years? -Yes

Who's going to cook for you?

You should do it for me.

-I have no energy. -I can't do that.

You are strong.

People say you will have good ears, if you eat snow from the first snowfall.

Please have some snow so you can have good ears and eyes.

I'll give it to you.

Take a bite.

Have some more

It tastes good

It's cool and good

have some more

It will be really nice if we get good eyes. ( They said 'ears' previously, but this time they said 'eyes')

If you get good eyes

I could hear all the little sound from that mountain.

Hooray

I won

No, I won, I did

This is your mouth

This looks just like you

It would be nice if you could make it look pretty

Do it like this

Mine looks better

My hands are freezing

Do some more, more

Is it warm?

It is warm

I was 14 years old when I met my husband, and didn't know anything about him.

He told me he was 19

I thought he just came to help my family fixing things.

That's what I thought. So I used to call him "Mr.", "Mr.".

I was shy to see a grown-up man.

I used to hide here and there

When I was 9, my mom passed away.

I went through all sorts of hardships

I cried and lived with grief

Then I went to my wife's house and worked really, really hard for them.

for 6 years

You didn't starve ever since you came to my house

And then, we had some kids

and we made a living with kids

and then I lived without knowing what loneliness was

There you go

Mom~

What's all that?

How have you been?

You've been doing well?

hope you make more money in the future

Happy new year

I hope you do well in the future too

Happy new year

This little cunning one wants the new year's gift(money)

of course

a little kiss

My Seol-lahn

Are you a good student?

You've grown a lot

What is this

You want to try some?

Red one is yours

-I love you. -I love you.

I love you

When she saw dried persimmons on a TV show

she said "I want that"

and then he disappeared

When we checked where he was

He's already gone to buy the dried persimmons

Who does that in these days?

No one

They make such a good couple

Gosh, you know my father is here and I'm his daughter

My father's youngest sibling and I have the same age.

So my mom and grandmother gave birth in the same year.

I really thank that both of you have lived for a long time

Father, do you like it?

Yes, I like it.

how much?

(this much)

Gosh, it's cold

OH, it's cold

Hey~~

Because you threw pebbles at me

ewwwwww dirty

Not sure if it's salty or not

cause I have a cold

looks delicious

Does it look delicious?

I made this for you to eat

I want you to have it a lot and get some energy so you can visit senior centre

Is the saltiness ok?

it's good

The rice is heavy

Tastes better?

He's never said "it doesn't taste good".

If it doesn't taste good, he just eat little

If it's good, he eats a lot.

And then he says "what a delicious meal"

I'm so glad when he eats well

How did you drag the house all the way here?

-She was on the way to the pastor's house. -He dragged the house.

There's the male dog. She wanted to go there.

Gong-soon(dog) likes my husband so much

If he's with her, she really likes it.

Gong-soon and GGoma like him

My husband likes them too

I named her Gong-soon because I got her for free(Gong-jja = for free).

I asked "What did you name her?"

and he said "I'll just name her Gong-soon since I got her for free"

That's why she's called "Gong-soon".

GGoma got her name because she was a girl and pretty

He named her "GGoma".

Because she's little. (GGoma = little one)

He spends so much time with dogs.

he barely talks

I have bad ears.

You don't talk that much

I asked you to sing a song because I'm so bored.

Shall I do that or not?

You need to care about me

come on

Sing some good one

You told me you knew a lot of good songs.

(Grandpa singing)

You are good.

-you think so too? -you're good.

sing a song too

People at the senior centre will go on a picnic tomorrow

To Jong-sun

A lot of people are going.

It's just a picnic but several buses are rented.

It hurts here.

You haven't seen it before? Take a look.

I feel good.

Dear (she calls him literally "grandpa")

It feels good when you blow with a whiff.

What a beautiful bird

The wagtail is chirping.

If I'm born again, I want to be an oriole.

A yellow oriole.

On the mountain, high up there, (bird sound)

It would be really nice if I became a yellow oriole.

Listen to me.

Which one is the most beautiful bird?

beautiful?

Yes, which one?

The best one is the Meoksae(edible + bird).

What is Meoksae?

Meoksae

Birds that you can eat.

You only care about eating.

Meoksae is the best?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Then you are a bird.

You are Meoksae.

Meoksae

Didn't know there was Meoksae.

Looks really good

Your arms are getting thinner.

I'll scratch here for you.

I turn off the light at 10pm.

To save money on electricity.

But he doesn't let me turn it off.

He doesn't want the light off.

I can go to sleep better when the light is off.

I think he does that because he's sick.

I met him when I was 14.

It snowed when I met him.

He wouldn't touch me even after we got married.

He didn't want me to get hurt

didn't want me to get hurt

He was waiting for me to get old enough so I could put my arms around him.

I think about it these days and thank him.

And then he started to touch me.

He touched my ears and caressed me again and again.

And it became his habits.

He needs to touch me to go to sleep.

After we got married, when my age got 15, 16 and 17,

I put myself in his arms first

and then I learned how "sleeping with a husband" works.

It's so good to get cleaned.

Let's take some rest here, ah...

Welcome~

Age is the enemy.

He wasn't like this last year.

He can't catch his breath since this winter.

He's getting old.

You look great

Thank you

How old are you, Mrs.?

Me? 78

You are not that old.

You are just a newlywed.

78 is a newlywed.

These are for kids.

6 kids, one boy.

Then I need to buy 5 for the girls.

I want something big.

So it's not for adults, it's for kids?

Yes, but I want to buy bigger size for them.

This is for 3 years old.

This is for 6 years old.

Give me something pretty.

How many 3 years old kids are there?

3 years old...

3 six-years-old kids

3 three-years-old kids.

oh yeah?

the bigger the better

the bigger the better

I like something ample

Here you go, 6 of them.

right?

These are for boys.

5 of these are for girls

I gave birth to 12 children and I lost 6 of them.

When I was in my prime

I lost my 6 years old kid.

I lost my 3 years old kid during the Korean war.

Measles took one too.

I was going to buy them before

I've never forgotten about them.

These are pants.

Looks nice?

Looks nice, huh?

Does it look nice?

These are underclothes for Spring and Fall.

I couldn't buy these for Keel-hyoung before.

It lingers on my mind.

Whoever goes first

when they come to see you

clothe them in these.

If you go first, clothe them in these.

yeah? Tell them "your mom bought them"

Because I couldn't buy one of these for them, it lingers on my mind.

I couldn't clothe them in these underclothes.

Looks nice?

This is for

my Nam-hee, Nam-hee

These are for Nam-hee who passed away.

I couldn't clothe them in these

It weighs heavily on my mind

There are a bunch of these at the market.

But still, I couldn't clothe them in these.

These are for Nam-hee, Nam-hee.

Nam-hee Jo

I couldn't buy these for them. These look so nice.

It would be much better if I clothed them when they were alive.

I bought 6 of these.

6 of these

I want to hang that

No, we can't do it.

I've done it before

please, let's hang it later

It's ok to hang it later

Oh boy, it's heavy

When Geum-ja comes over, tell her to hang it

she should be here any minute now

Come on, I told you

Gosh, he doesn't listen to me.

It's getting in

The hole is small

it fitted before

No, this hole is too small for the nail

It's not small, they fitted each other before

oh my, what's going on

He's upset

It looks like it's fitting in

There you go

You gotta lower it down a little

You want me to put this Kimchi here?

alright, alright

How adorable

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear grandma

Happy birthday to you

blow out them harder

Take this Codonopsis root, Sung-eun

We gotta eat it first, it's not for sharing yet.

How could you say that already

They will take the leftovers, no worries.

take them after putting it on the lunch table

Mom wouldn't eat it if you leave it here.

I'm not taking any. I brought this. Why would I take any.

Anyway, make some lunch and take care of it.

Making a meal for the parents only happens twice a year.

I live with my mother-in-law too.

I treat them really well

Bluish Shirt : When I live with you(mother, father)

one showing her back : Don't even start with "living with parents"

Bluish : Do you know how stressful it is? Living with parents-in-laws?

Bluish : They don't have much time to live.

Bluish : Treat this as a last visit and let's have family lunch.

Bluish : Let's eat out in future

Oldest son : but why you talk so much?

Oldest son : we are leaving and why you talk so much?

Oldest son: The oldest(first) son is here

Oldest son: You are just the oldest daughter.

Oldest son: The oldest son is here and you talk like that?

Bluish : I'll be honest with you

Oldeset son: about what?

Why are you like that? you seemed happy.

Bluish : Did you pay a visit to mom and dad when they were sick?

Bluish : Did you even try to give them a call?

Bluish : How would you feel when your oldest son did the same?

The wife : What is wrong with you guys?

Bluish : I brought this up because it upset me so bad.

Bluish : Did you ever take them to the hospital once?

Oldest son : Yes

Bluish : When they were sick, did you ever make any meals for them?

Bluish : Did you ever make one single phone call?

Oldest son: Did you make them any meals?

Bluish : Yes, I did.

Bluish : I did.

Oldest son : Don't you dare talk to me like that

oldest : Want me to hit you?

oldest : You want me to hit you?

Bluish : Go ahead

Bluish : I didn't talk to you impolitely

Bluish's daughter : Mom, you don't talk to your brother like that

Bluish : you gotta act like you are the oldest son

What are you doing?

Bluish's daughter : Mom, Grandpa wants you to stop

ok, stop it

It's mom's birthday

take that collar off

Take it off. Why don't you take that off?

Take it off

Yes, take that off

you poor thing

GGoma, GGoma

poor little thing, poor little thing

Didn't know he was going to die like that

I had no idea

I can't see him again

Our GGoma

GGoma~~

I worried about GGoma looking for my husband after he died.

But GGoma died first.

My husband will go later

I'll follow him after

If my husband goes, I will be alone, with Gong-soon

She's pregnant.

She's lying on the ground like that since she's pregnant.

Lying on the ground, panting like that

poor thing

It reminds me of the time I was pregnant.

I think there are 6 or 7 puppies.

If she gave birth, I would give puppies to the pastor.

She's tied to her house.

The pastor let his dog running around and his dog did it to her.

If it were my dog, I would take the puppies.

I'd have no choice.

But I wouldn't raise them

Do you think you can make it?

Can you make it?

Do you think you can make it today?

If you can't, we go back home

If you can't make it, just stay home

I want to go

It's all done

Thank you

How long have you been married?

75 years? 76 years?

I met him when I was 14

Are you two the same age?

No, I'm 89

he's 98

He's hale and hearty

No, he's not

it hurts

I'm scared

oh, I'm so scared

You can't take this at your age?

Oh, come on. We didn't do anything.

going to be prickly

It's all done

I was so scared

I was suffering

and you just sit here and didn't say a word

You should've told the doctor to treat me without pain

You didn't say anything

Dad, let's go to the hospital

Dad

We've been to the big hospital and they said medicine wouldn't work cause he's too old

Told me to leave him comfortably

I already went to the hospital with him.

Told me to just make him comfortable.

because he's too old

They will give us medicine if we ask

but it has no effect on him

Dad, don't get sick

Dad

You must eat

You must eat to live

The hospital told them not to come

No medicine for him

becase he's too old

They said no

yes, that's what they said.

Come tomorrow

so you can see father when he's alive

I'm trying to call everyone

Dad, I know you went through a lot

I know what you went through

Father

I'm really sorry for things I haven't done for you

sorry for breaking your heart

I'm sorry dad

I'll be good to you from now on

father

I'm really sorry for what I've done

You need to burn these so the deceased could wear them

When he passes away, I'll burn clean ones.

I'm sorting out the ones that he used to wear

If I burn them all at once, it will be too heavy for him to carry

He doesn't know if these are for Winter or Summer

He doesn't know. I have to look after him.

I'll follow your way soon

You go there first and arrange things for me

If I can't go that early

You should come and bring me with you.

If you come, then I'll grab your hands

We can wear the matching couple pants

wearing the same yellow jacket

Let's hold hands together and go

Where does it hurt?

Does it hurt a lot?

Gong-soon is blessed

don't move a muscle

She doesn't move at all

They just look like mouses

Their mouths look like mouses' too. So red.

How many?

6

so excited because they are so cute

you know how we

tied her to her house

and the pastor's dog came

and this happened

I think I'll bring all the puppies

to the pastor

I'll give all the puppies to him

Give him all

You want me to do it now?

After they get old

I want to give him the puppies now

you need to wait until they grow up

until they grow up?

Let's spank the dog when he comes

smack him in the face

he takes a shit in our property

He just takes a shit and runs away when Gong-soon is having fun

He's ugly

That ugly one irritates me

Have no idea why he is so ugly.

That freaking stupid dog. Damn dog.

This one is a boy

This one's a girl.

Why this girl is so big

I raised 3 sons and 3 daughters

My Gong-soon also

has 3 sons and 3 daughters

Good job,Gong-soon

you lost some weight

you look so skinny

I can feel your bones

How cute

look so cute

so cute

Go to grandpa

you little one

The light's on

Please live 3 more month

Even If you live only 3 more months like this, I will be really glad.

When I say 'let's go together'

He says 'yes'

When I say "let's go together dear"

he says "yes, let's go"

I'll be happy if we can do that

If I can hold his hand

and go over a pass beyond the bridge. It'll be really nice.

Neighbors will wave their hands at us

and I'll wave back to them to say goodbyes

If we go together like that. Wouldn't it be awesome?

Flowers, trees, and others things are just the same as humans.

That leave will bloom in the Spring, too

and live through the Summer

When it frosts in the fall, they will fall

Humans are the same

When we are young, we are in full blossom.

It will be great if we stay like that.

But when we get old, we shrink and fall. Falling means over.

Falling means over

If you meet our kids there

They will come for you

If they come, clothe them in these

You promised me before

Take this with you and wear it when the next Spring comes

When the next Spring comes and it gets warm, wear this.

This is your sweatshirts

Wear it when it gets warm.

Be good even if I'm not with you

Wash your face

Stay clean dear

even if I'm not with you

Although you miss me, you need to wait.

I'm waiting too even if I miss you

Dear, I'm going home

I'm going home

you take care

I know it's cold but wait a little more.

My Love, Don't Cross That River

May Byeong-man Jo(the husband), who is the eternal lover of Kye-yeol Kang(the wife), rest in peace
