Give this to the head chef.

- What's this? - Potato soup.

What?

What's this? It's not even cooked.

Why give it to him?

Tell him to cook it for the President.

For whom? Who is it for?

What's wrong with you?

Please, Bong-Gi.

Please give it to him.

I'm goin' nuts, really!

I'm out of here, Yeo Bong-Soon.

- To tell you the truth... - The truth? What truth? What is it?

Shouldn't tell you really...

Joke? Is this a joke?

Hold on.

This is a secret that I'm only letting you know.

To tell you the truth, my father is the President.

%$#%^#&#^&^*(*

But it's the truth.

%$#%^#&#^&^*(*

What's this?

Miss Yeo from the Mugunghwa cafeteria asked me to give it to you.

She wanted you to cook it for the President.

Huh?

Just throw it away! I only brought It over because she begged me.

Oh, my back.

Maybe it's going to rain soon. My back hurts so much.

Where's that PAS?

Here it is.

- I better put this on. - Hey Mr. Pervert.

Are you asking me to put that PAS on for you?

I never said that!

Why?

You want to put it on for me? Go head.

What the heck?

Do you want me to shut your mouth with that PAS?

You really are a pervert!

Mr. Pervert, are you interested in me or something?

What?

What do you take me for?

Have you looked at your mirror lately? Snap out of it!

How dare you make a move with your crummy face?

What? Did you just call me crummy?

If I'm crummy, then you're crappy.

Thank goodness you're not interested in me.

I'm a genuine dandelion devoted to one man only.

The only man for me is my dead husband.

So take your eyes off me.

I'm only saying this because you've been acting weird lately.

A genuine dandelion?

Maybe all the dandelion seeds froze to death last winter.

Don't worry.

If you're a genuine dandelion, I'm the great pine tree of the old mountain.

What's wrong with you?

The only woman for me is Bong-Gi's mother.

That's nice to hear. Just sharpen the knife.

A genuine dandelion? My butt!

Where did that duck come from? Is that yours?

Don't touch that. It belongs to my Lady!

Your Lady? What Lady?

What kind of lady are you talking about, Mr. Pervert?

Did you start working as a slave without telling us?

How come you're not answering me?

I'm talking about your Lady, mister!

Your lady, mister!

Bong-Hee!

Bong-Hee! I'm here.

I didn't know you were here.

Bong-Hee, your fever's gone down.

Did you have lunch?

Don't you like it better here than being home alone?

You do, huh?

Hey mister! Were you talking about Bong-Soon?

Mr. Nam, what happened to her house?

It's here, Miss Bong...

Over there, Bong-soon.

- Hyo-Won! - Daddy!

Oh my little girl.

How are you today? Give me a kiss.

What did you do today? Did you have fun?

- No, I was bored. - Really?

You should hang out with the secretary and the guard.

The guard I have right now is boring.

He always looks mad, and he doesn't play with me.

What a mean guard!

- Should I teach him a lesson? - No

Leave it to me. I have plans of my own.

What?

Oh, my little girl.

Where's grandma and grandpa?

- In the kitchen. - The kitchen.

How do you like it?

Did you make this?

You don't like it? Do you want something else?

I like it.

What's wrong? Is it that bad?

It tastes like what I had back in the days.

Very similar.

Perfect.

What? Like what you had back in the days?

Right! Even the broth is just right.

It was light and bitter.

There was nothing to cook with.

We made the broth with anchovy heads because food was scarce and...

... the body was used to make side dishes.

That's why it had a bitter aftertaste.

Even the ongshimi is sticky to the core, just like it's supposed to be!

Nice job, San.

No, not at all. You see...

Hi.

Sit down if you didn't have dinner yet

What's this?

- Your father's favorite potato soup. - I see.

- Do you have enough for me? - Of course.

Sit down! It's great.

Wow, it tastes great!

Mr. San, it's so good.

The soup is so good.

Hey!

Are you bored?

Nam Bong-Gi!

You again?

- Are you going home? - Do you think I'm going to work, then?

- Let's go home together - No, why should I?

Forget it! You go that way.

I'll go this way. Don't follow me.

Do you know how embarrassing it is to be with you?

Everyone looks at you because you look like you're from a circus.

Do something about that ladybug fashion!

You need to change your style. You can dress like a cockroach.

It'll make my eyes less tired.

Did you give him the potato soup?

Yes I did, okay?

Fourth dimension hillbilly!

I thought your dad was the President.

If he is, then why are you going to my house?

Go to the Presidential residence.

Hey!

Not so loud!

- People might hear you! - It's embarrassing for you too, huh?

Who did you say your father was?

Oh my gosh, does that mean you and that crappy Dr. Chang are sib...

Bong-Soon...

- What about Mr. Chang? - Forget it.

Hey kiddo!

Mr. Chang!

Get in, Mr. Bong-Gi. I'll take you home.

No, that won't be necessary.

Come on, just get in.

Thank you, but I'm good.

What's wrong with you, Bong-Gi?

Did you eat something wrong?

Bong-Soon, get in with Mr. Bong-Gi

Okay.

Get in. What's wrong?

Just get in.

Hurry up.

He's waiting.

Bong-Gi!

Sit in the back.

Help me out here!

Bong-Gi, don't tell Mr. Chang that I'm the President's daughter.

He might feel pressured.

Think about it.

Keep it a secret, oki doki?

Okay, let's go!

Let's go!

Yeah, whatever.

Oh yeah.

If you're hungry, you can eat this donut.

Okay.

I'm okay! You can eat it with Bong-Gi.

Just eat this one then.

I'm offering it to you.

Okay.

Forget it! Eat it yourself.

Not you, it's for Bong-Hee. Feed her.

What were you doing in the Blue House?

I thought this place was off-limits during nighttime.

How did you get inside?

You see...

You came to see Director Lee, remember?

How did you become a doctor when you're so forgetful?

I feel bad for your patients.

Oh yeah! I came to see Sang-Jik.

What's wrong with me?

You came to see Director Lee?

Yes.

Wait here! I'll go buy water.

No, I'll go buy them.

I can't let a lady do that. Just stay here.

I'll go then.

What? You?

You don't need to do that.

I'll go.

Please go back inside. I'll go get them.

Mr. Bong-Gi.

Go back inside. I'll be back soon.

Don't do this, Mr. Bong-Gi.

I said, I'll go! Didn't you hear me? I said, I'll go! What's wrong with you?

What would you like?

Uh... water, please.

Bong-Soon.

Do I need to serve you water now?

Do you think I'm your servant or slave or something?

And you too! Crappy Chang!

You get all the credit while I do all the work!

You know what? I offered to go.

But you didn't even give me money!

I see how it is!

You're all the same!

Who's son are you? The President's!

How come a craphead like you is the President's son!

You two are the same!

When are you going to start teaching me?

Now that I think about it, wanna start today?

- Is that a speck of dust below your eye? - What?

Come closer. I'll take it off for you.

What the?

Why are you pecking my skin instead of the dust?

This isn't dust! That's my dot!

A dot?

It was a dot?

You're right.

What's wrong?

Are you mad because you had to go buy water?

- Thanks a bunch. - Oki doki.

Cheers!

Only those who can rule themselves can rule a family.

Only those who can rule a family can rule a nation.

Only those who can rule a nation can rule the world!

We need a secure family in order to have a secure nation!

Let's defend our family!

Bong-Hee, let's defend our family! Because families are important!

Don't you agree, Dr. Chang?

Of course, I agree.

Dr. Chang!

You can't do this if you have some common sense and conscience in you!

What? Think of your parents?

How can you do something like this?

What are you talking about?

Stop beating around the bush. Get to the point!

Be more specific about what you're trying to say!

I think you have something to say to me.

Go ahead, Bong-Gi.

Go ahead.

So what I want to say to you is... is...

Listen carefully.

Pay me for the water! I bought it with my own money!

It's 55 cents per bottle, so it's $1.10 for two bottles

And the gum costs 50 cents.

If you add them together, it's $1.60.

I want my $1.60!

Do you think money grows on trees?

Hush, little baby, don't say a word! Hush, little baby, don't say a word.

Hey hillbilly.

All the oils in Korea are imports. Let's save electricity.

Is she sleeping with her lights on?

Mr. Chang.

I love you.

I'm crazy in love with you.

Bong-Soon.

I'm crazy in love with you, too.

Hey!

Bong-Soon! What are you doing?

Hey Bong-Gi!

You cheapskate!

Here! Take your $1.60!

You cheapskate.

You're so dirty.

Good morning.

I'm so honored! What's this for?

Take good care of the President.

Huh?

Bong-Gi! Time to eat!

Thank you.

Hurry up and come outside!

That's a yellow cortina! Nice to see you!

Look at the color on this one!

This must be expensive!

Isn't this overkill?

What's going on these days?

Shut up and eat.

If you're worried, pay me more for the board.

I'm a Wild Goose Daddy! I don't have any money.

Everything I earn goes to England.

How come prices are so high in London?

My wife always complains whenever I call her.

Those are ruining my bank account as well as my marital relationship!

Bong-Gi, when you get married, never send your kids to study overseas.

This is so tragic for men. I feel like an ATM machine.

What? Already?

Bong-Soon, you're reedier than you look.

Huh?

You're not the only one in this table. How can you take half of that by yourself?

That's the most delicious part of yellow cortina.

Huh? I only took it because he gave it to me.

Here you go! Eat it.

I wasn't asking for it. I was just saying.

How dare you take it away from her!

I went to the fish market at the break of dawn for her.

You two eat this over here.

We want to put good food in our mouths, too!

Shut up and eat what I gave you.

You're not eating?

- I'll eat it then. - No, no I'll eat it.

I'm so hungry.

Is there anything to eat?

Boiled eggs, or chocolate. Which would you like?

Both.

Here you go.

Thanks a bunch!

Dr. Chang!

Are you that happy over an egg?

You're right.

I'm so happy over an egg.

It looks like a piece of art than rice cakes.

I didn't mean to, but each ingredient has different nutrients.

This black sesame has lecithin, Providing nutrients to the brain.

It's also good for growing children because it has a lot of calcium, too.

These pine pollens help circulation, and have various nutrients...

... such as minerals, essential amino acid, and iron.

They even protect the lungs.

You know how kids don't usually like healthy food.

I see.

- Inspect them. - Okay.

I'm here for the snacks.

Take them after the inspection is over.

Okay.

Moon-Shik!

You're so lucky to be in inspection.

How's baby-sitting?

It's killing me.

I'm following a five year-old around the whole day.

I hold her books when she reads.

I hold her mirror when she looks at it.

I hold her towel When she washes her hand.

That kid wants me to address her 'Miss'.

You've met your match, Bong-Gi.

Good luck!

Tell Miss Bong-Soon that the President enjoyed her potato soup.

What?

You really gave it to him?

How did she come up with the idea of serving him potato soup?

That kid's always...

I mean, Miss Bong-Soon lives in the 4th dimension, in a world of her own.

I don't know what's in that small head of hers...

... but it's incomprehensible and indecipherable!

She even thinks she's the President's daugh...

The President's what?

Nothing! The inspection's over?

I need to take the snacks. Bye.

It's time for snacks.

It's time for snacks, Miss.

Where does it hurt?

Here?

No?

Then here?

Lie down! You're the patient.

What? Huh?

Lie down.

It's boring because he can't talk.

Lie down! Hurry up!

I suck at this stuff.

Besides, I'm too old to play hospital anyways.

You're too young to know this, but you see...

I'm a Presidential guard.

We're supposed to protect our honor and maintain our dignity at all times.

I'm not supposed to play hospital instead of that teddy bear.

My grandpa plays hospital with me even though he's the President.

I better ask my grandpa to be my patient instead.

What? Where are you going?

Fine, I'll do it!

Oh no, I'm in pain! Save me, doctor!

Put your shirt up What?

I have to do that too?

Where does it hurt?

- You stomach? - No, my head.

I have a headache.

Your head?

What's your name?

Nam Bong-Gi.

- What day is it today? - May 10th, 2006.

What's your home phone number?

My home number? 02-517-4...

Why are you asking so many questions? It's not like I have dementia!

Hyo-Won.

I mean, Miss?

Miss?

Miss...

That was pretty fast.

Who cooked the noodles? This is so good.

Me!

I'm the expert when it comes to noodles.

Just tell me when. Next time, I'll make a better one.

Forget these noodles.

I want the wedding day noodles.

You'll be forty next year!

When are you going to get married and have kids?

You wanna send your kids to 1st Grade when you're an old woman?

Your eggs are getting old.

You don't even have that many left!

Stop it!

I thought you paid $980 to register in a matchmaking service.

What happened?

$980?

What a waste of money!

Do you really have to do that?

Don't they hook people up according to their level?

I doubt they'll hook you up with a successful professional.

You'll only meet low-class good-for-nothings.

Why spend all that money to marry a guy like that?

That's nonsense!

I jus thought it was a waste of money.

Guess what?

Even those low-class good-for- nothings don't want to meet me!

Everyone's saying no.

Saying no because of my job...

Saying no because of my age...

Saying no because of my looks...

They're freaking out because I'm so fat.

I don't care how ugly or poor he is!

I just wanted a man without children.

I need to see the sky first if I want to catch the stars.

What?

You spent $980 to marry a divorcee?

I can't believe it!

How can you take a divorcee, Someone already used and thrown away?

You know, dating younger men is in these days!

Bong-Hee!

Ta-dah!

Don't you like ducks?

You don't like them, Miss?

This is the first time you've seen a real duck, right?

Cute, isn't she?

Say hi! Her name is Yeo Bong-Hee.

Is this yours?

No, it belongs to a weirdo Named Yeo Bong-Soon.

- Are you friends with her? - No way.

We're not friends.

We just live in the same house.

Why are you touching your lips like you're out of your mind?

Bong-Soon!

Why are you overreacting?

Did you do something wrong?

I wasn't overreacting!

You're the one who did something wrong! I was had!

What? You were had? By me?

You don't remember?

Remember what?

Forget it then.

That's nice to hear. Very good!

Who is she?

Who?

Oh, her. Well, she is...

I'm Chang Hyo-Won.

Chang Hyo-Won?

Why are you with him?

Where's your mommy and daddy?

My mommy's home, and my daddy's in the hospital because he's a doctor.

Your dad's a doctor?

I miss my daddy. Let's go see my daddy!

Call my daddy and ask if I can visit him.

Your daddy's a busy man! Don't call him!

I don't even know his number.

My daddy's cell phone number is 010-487...

Miss!

Let's just play with the duck!

The duck's running away!

Miss?

Why Miss?

We were playing house.

How do you know her?

My friend came for a Blue House tour, and wanted me to baby-sit his kid.

Mr. President is on the way.

When are you going to feed me Your wedding day noodles?

Huh?

I'm working on it.

I'm getting tired of waiting.

- Work harder. - Okay.

Just give me whichever picture you like.

These are taken recently, right?

It's from a few days ago.

Her mom's sick, and her dad's busy.

Other kids her age probably have a few photo albums by now.

I wanted her to have pictures of her growing up.

Good job.

She's so cute.

Talk to Joon-Won.

He won't listen to me.

His mother-in-law said she's coming next week.

She wanted us to prepare the divorce papers.

Let's leave it to Joon-Won.

It's his life.

Honey, we might ruin our son's life!

He's even thinking about taking time off work.

For how long?

Until his wife gets better? When's that going to happen?

Do you want him to quit his job, too?

Put yourself in his shoes.

Do you think you can leave me just because I'm sick?

We can't tell Joon-Won to do what we can't do.

That's inhumane.

No!

What's inhumane is making my son give up everything and...

... take care of his wife with dementia for the rest of his life!

I can't do that!

I don't want to be gracefully humane when my son's dying!

If we don't do this now, we'll never get to do it!

Now's the time when the in-laws are asking for it!

Help me, please!

Why does a frog leap?

He wants to go further.

Why am I smiling?

I want to get to know you.

Why, oh why, why do you have to be...

... so charming to my eyes, Why do you have to be?

Our love is like a pine cone...

Just a small wind can shake it off.

Dear Auraji boatman...

Ferry me over, will you?

The gingers of Sarigol are about to fall...

Sounds like a folk song.

Where's it from?

No!

I'll pick it up.

It must be an important picture.

Huh?

Yeah.

- It's a picture of my father. - I see.

You must really like your father.

How did you meet the President?

Huh?

What do you think about women who steal other women's men?

Hyo-Won!

Daddy!

Uh... how did you....

That means you're Hyo-Won's...

Oh my gosh.

- How did... - She missed her daddy.

I reported it to the First Lady.

It's a little stuffy in here.

Should we go outside?

I have no choice.

As you wish.

Should I ask him for dinner?

Do you know how embarrassing it is to be with you?

Everyone looks at you because you look like you're from a circus.

Do something about that fashion! We're not in the eighties anymore!

Or change your style.

You can dress like a cockroach. It'll make my eyes less tired.

See what these clothes can do for you!

Look at yourself in the mirror!

You look so pretty!

Why were you dressed like that when you're so pretty!

You're mad at me, huh?

- No. - I know you're mad.

No, I'm not mad. I already told you that.

Please understand.

I'm sorry for lying to you. I didn't mean it.

I understand.

There's no need to be sorry.

I should be the one apologizing for being so rude to you.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I hope we can treat each other like we used to.

- Why don't we? - I'm a guard.

A guard can't do that with the person he's serving.

I was happy to make a good friend, but I can't force you.

But keep it a secret from Bong-Soon.

I don't want to lose her, too.

Can you do that for me?

Can I treat you the way I used to just for one minute?

Sure.

- You can do it forever if you want... - You jerk!

What?

Where's your conscience? You shameless knave!

Look, Mr. Bong-Gi!

No, you look first!

You have a wife, and a daughter.

Why in the world are you pretending to be a bachelor?

With a naive country kid who's much younger than you?

Aren't you ashamed to see your own daughter?

I pretended to be a bachelor?

When?

Your imprudence reaches the heavens!

With Bong-Soon!

With Bong-Soon?

No way!

I think you have a big misunderstanding, but the kiddo and I are nothing like that!

Think about it!

Like you said, she's Much younger than me!

I don't know how you got that idea.

No.

That's not true.

That's not true?

Are you sure?

Yes.

How come you didn't tell that hillbilly that you're married?

Of course I did....

Did I?

I'm sure she knows I'm married.

She doesn't know that I'm married?

If she did, why would she like you in her right mind?

She says she's crazy in love with you.

Tell her before she falls even more for you.

Mr. Chang!

Mr. Chang!

- Daddy, I'm done! - Oh my little girl.
