Original subtitles

When did you get here?

Is it because of me? Did you see that?

Don't cry. Why are you crying like a fool?

I'm okay.

I'm okay, kid.

I'm okay.

Don't cry.

Lighten up, man.

She's my wife, not yours!

Come on!

- How long has it been? - Three years.

Yes, it's hard.

Days like today are even tougher.

But it's not as bad as you think.

So stop acting like it's the end of the world, and eat.

Come on.

I used to act like it was the end of the world too...

...but there was nothing wrong with the world.

It was just me.

We're no different from others. We have our good and bad days.

Today's a really bad day.

But three years?

Isn't it tough for you?

We were both twenty years old when we first met.

She's the one who took care of me before she got sick.

She always waited on my busy schedule.

She organized my busy life. She fed me, clothed me from head to toe.

She took care of my parents for me.

She went and cooked for weddings and birthdays of my relatives...

... that even I forgot about.

That clever little kid did everything for me.

She took care of me for eight years.

It's only been three years for me.

I can't tell her that I'm having a hard time.

You want me to eat and cheer up?

Oki doki.

Let's go!

Who's taking care of Hyo-Won?

She's with her grandparents.

How come Bong-Gi is always with your daughter?

You're right

I wonder why he's always with my daughter.

He's so weird.

Eat.

'Cherry Red'?

Really?

Is her mother really the actress from 'Cherry Red'?

I said, 'Red Cherry'! 'Red Cherry'!

It's 'Red Cherry'! Stop saying 'Cherry Red'!

- Are you sure you saw the movie? - Red or crimson... same thing.

That's the movie with the poster of the dirty actress wearing those revealing...

... see-through skirt with a cherry on her lips under the waterfall, right?

That's what I heard. I haven't seen it.

You mean that dirty actress is her mother?

That means that Cherry Red girl and the President are...

But the chef doesn't seem to have a clue.

- I'm sure he'd know if it was true. - He doesn't' have to know.

Or maybe he's just playing dumb because it's too serious.

Think about it. You'd play dumb, too, if you were him, right?

How are we supposed to find her if no one remembers her name?

I thought you guys watched the movie?

How come you only remember the dirty poster?

Maybe it's in the video store.

- The video store? - Yes.

The video stores used to be flooded with erotic movies like that.

Maybe there's a copy left.

Hi.

Want dinner?

I don't feel like it.

Bong-Gi.

Do you remember seeing a 'Red Cherry' at the video store?

- What cherry? - 'Cherry Red'

I said, it's 'Red Cherry'!

It's an old movie called 'Red Cherry'

Can you find old movies in the video store?

'Red Cherry'? Is it a dirty movie?

I think so.

For you two?

Are you guys lonely?

Not really, but the nights are long...

It reminds me of the old days.

Father! Director Lee! Please!

No one watches stuff like that these days!

What kind of a corny title is 'Red Cherry'?

You can do better than that.

Father, this is 'Raptured Till Dawn' Director Lee, this is 'Do It All Month Long'.

They're da bomb!

Hey, you dropped your towel.

The lotion cap! Put the cap on.

Clean the desk for a change. Isn't not even yours.

You're not the only one studying here!

Your study guides are all over the place. They're driving me crazy!

I have a question.

Is dementia incurable?

Do you think there's anything I can do to help?

It's none of your business.

It's their problem. Don't get so caught up.

But...

But...

What do you mean 'but'? You imbecile!

He's already married with a child, you imbecile!

I'm warning you! Don't talk to Dr. Chang from now on. Got that?

Don't call him! Don't think about him! Don't even think about him!

You'll be in trouble!

Even the tiniest thing gets reported!

You can get busted, you moron!

If I see you...

If I see you with Dr. Chang one more time, you're dead meat.

I'll pluck all the feathers out of you!

That's the day you'll drop dead and become dead meat.

Have you heard of a movie called, 'Red Cherry?'

Of course! It was a great movie.

What?

I... I don't think it was great...

It's a movie about a man finding the real joy of life.

The joy of life?

I remember a dialogue.

'Everyone has problems in life.'

'But think about the joy of life, the beauty of a sunrise...'

'... the clearness of spring water, and the taste of sweet cherry!'

'The joy of life'?

'Spring water'?

I thought it was a waterfall.

By the way, the movie is titled 'The Taste Of Cherry,' not 'Red Cherry'.

It's an Iranian movie by Abbas Kiarostami.

An Iranian movie?

Korean movie...

Mr. President, it's time for the conference regarding the joint collaboration...

... of conglomerates and small enterprises.

How many are attending?

There will be a total of 38 people, of which 20 are from the financial circles...

... and 3 from small enterprises.

Come in.

- Good afternoon. - Oh, hi.

The photo shoot must end before ten minutes into the interview.

Got it.

The First Lady's features look much gentler if you shoot from the right side.

Okay, thank you.

The President and the First Lady's tableware are set, just like we agreed.

Why don't we shoot before the interview begins?

Sure.

Is something bothering you?

What's wrong?

You must really be in a mad mood today.

You're not usually this rude.

Who's the rascal who put you in a bad mood?

Why are you looking at me like that?

The First Lady has arrived.

Straighten your upper body!

Your heels on the floor first, and then the sole.

Last, lift your toes.

Good.

You need to do this one hour a day for at least four days a week to lose weight.

When you can't take it anymore, think of him!

Walk with more energy!

Let's start the meeting.

What are you two doing?

Nothing.

By the way, who is he? Un-Joo has a man in her life?

It's a one-way ticket.

What?

A one-way ticket! It's a secret crush.

With a boy 11 years younger than her.

- What? - He's 11 years younger than her?

No way!

Isn't this unscrupulous and ridiculous even for a secret crush?

I don't know who he is, but he must feel crummy if he finds out.

Didn't you say dating younger men is in these days?

What's age got to do with love?

Our hearts are beating just as much as yours.

They're beating right now, as we speak. Ain't that right, Hyang-Sook?

Unfortunately, they beat until we die.

Who cares if there's a small age difference?

Being in love is much better than not being in love.

That's right!

And that's why I'm going to start looking for a hunk.

One way ticket... One way ticket...

Come visit me when you're all alone.

Come visit me when you're lonely.

Call me when you can't sleep at night.

I have nothing but my heart to give you. My useless heart...

Let's start the meeting.

You know we have an inspection in three days, right?

Floor, walls, ceiling, lights, and the ventilator.

Are you planting a tree?

What brings you here?

I didn't know I came this far.

I was just taking a walk.

I never knew this place was so big.

My life had been a merry-go-round. I never got to go anywhere.

I should've checked this place out long time ago.

So it's decided?

Yes.

Now that I think about it, you planted all the trees here, right?

I never would've guessed.

I thought they were here from the beginning.

Do you have to go?

Don't go.

I hope you don't leave.

I think she was really hurt. She hasn't been eating or talking.

What should I do?

What can I do to make Hyo-Won feel better?

I think she should go see her mom in person.

I'm sure it'll be hard, but I think she needs to face it and overcome it.

I think she's worried and misses her.

- Do you know her? - Yes.

Huh?

I'm sorry, I... I'm sorry.

- Do you know her? - Yes.

Mrs. Chang! Mrs. Chang!

Why don't we walk that way?

The flowers look nicer, and the air is fresher there.

What's gong on between you two?

Seeing you like this makes me want to go see her even more.

Nice to see you again.

You're not singing today?

I liked it.

Huh?

If I'm not being rude, I'd like to hear that song again.

Can you sing it for me?

Huh? Sing?

Okay then.

Why does a frog leap?

He wants to go further...

Why am I smiling?

I want to get to know you...

Our love is like a pine cone.

Just a small wind can shake it off.

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

... so charming to my eyes.

Why do you have to be?

You're crying. Why are you crying?

Mr. Nam, do you have a handkerchief?

Wipe your tears.

I'm sorry.

You must like someone.

I guess it's not working out.

Should we go find the jerk that made this pretty lady cry, and punish him?

Huh?

Can you move your finger?

Lidocaine.

The anesthetics will hurt a little.

This isn't a smart way to commit suicide.

Most people just end up hurting their nerves or ligaments like you.

Don't you want to watch the World Cup?

I'll stitch this up real nice so you can well soon.

Wanna meet up and cheer for the Togo game together?

I'll call you! Pick up!

Everything has a time to end.

Don't try to force it.

- How about a drink after we get off? - No, I have tutoring.

Tutoring?

- You have a job on the side? - Yeah, I have a family to feed.

And it pays much better than this job.

Really?

Is it a boy?

Or a girl?

A girl.

And surround yourself with young blood!

- Is she pretty? - She's da bomb!

It's a work of art, I tell ya!

I heard you're coming.

She's in the room.

I need to go to the market.

Keep her company if she wakes up before I get here.

I only picked it up 'cuz it was on the floor

My name is Yeo Bong-Soon.

It's okay.

Let's go to that side with me, okay?

Come on.

Stay still. You'll get hurt.

Stay still.

I'm home.

Ji-Soo!

What are you doing?

Ji-Soo! Calm down.

Look, I'm here. Your husband's home.

Ji-Soo! Everything's okay! Calm down!

Are you okay, Bong-Soon?

Rub it squeaky clean.

That's not squeaky clean.

Like this.

This is squeaky clean.

Now you do it.

She's your husband's guest.

That's not how a lady should treat her guest.

You're embarrassing your husband.

Help me save my face, will ya?

Bong-Soon will visit us often from now on.

Be nice to her.

What's wrong?

Who want to know who she is?

Are you asking me who she is?

Well... she's...

How should I put this?

Bong-Soon is...

A girl who looks good in blue jeans

A girl who doesn't get fat even when she eats a lot

A girl who laughs at my joke even when It's not funny

Are you done?

We're going to talk about relative pronouns now.

What are they?

Excuse me...

Ji-Soo.

You missed Hyo-Won a lot, didn't you?

This is Hyo-Won, our daughter.

Say ''Hyo-Won' Call her name just one more time

She's waiting for you.

Stupid idiot.

Stupid.

Hyo-Won! Ji-Soo! Why are you guys crying?

Stop crying!

Stop crying, Hyo-Won. Stop crying, Ma'am!

Wipes those tears away!

Okay then!

I'm gonna make you stop crying in a sec!

Watch me.

Hello, is it my turn to introduce myself?

I'm Tundra from Mongolia. Why is everyone so down today?

$8,000 will take care of everything, right?

I'll give it to you tomorrow. Find yourself a new place.

Sorry, I'll pay for your room today. Get out of here right now.

Here.

Why are you doing this?

I hate being irritated, Confused, stuff like that.

You're irritating me. You're giving me a headache.

You're always in my face!

I can't take it anymore.

You're irritating me.

You're giving me a big headache!

This is so out of the blue.

What's wrong with you?

What did I do?

What did you do?

My head aches from front, back, left, and right. And I get shivers down my spine.

And you're asking me what did you do?

If you really don't know, forget it then. My head's about to crack because of you.

My stomach! Intestines! You name it! They're all messed up.

I can't stand it anymore, so get out!

Please get out of my face!

Starting from tomorrow, I don't want to see you!

Bong-Gi...

Hey! What's wrong with you today?

Hey, Bong-Gi!

Bong-Gi!

Open the door! What's wrong with you?

What is it?

Open the door! Hurry up!

Are you crazy or something?

Yes! I'm going crazy because of you.

So please, get out of my face, Bong-Soon!

Just get out of here!

Why are you guys so noisy?

Why are you doing in front of the door?

Why? Is someone here?

Mr. Nam, this is Bong-Soon. Open the door for me!

Who? Dork, it's Bong-Soon!

Hurry up and open the door!

No! I'm kicking her out. I can't live with her anymore.

What?

Move! Get out!

What's wrong with you?

Director Lee, get this Nutcase out of the way!

No! I said, no!

I don't want to bother myself with this hillbilly anymore!

Getting into her business is irritating!

I don't care if she gets busted or fall to pieces! That's her problem!

I just want her out of my face.

Why do I have to...

What kind of a jerk will dare to make Bong-Soon fall to pieces?

What are you guys doing? Come and eat!

Bong-Gi! Bong-Soon!

- Coming! - Coming!

Stop! Stop!

Everyone stop!

Everyone say a word of greeting to Bong-Soon before we eat.

- A word of greeting? What for? - Scatterbrain!

What do you mean, what for?

- Today is Miss Bong-Soon's birthday. - What?

Today is Miss Bong-Soon's birthday?

Happy birthday.

Stop, stop, all stop.

What did you guys just say?

Miss Bong-Soon's birthday?

That's what you said, right?

Why are you two calling this hillbilly 'Miss'?

And who cares if it's her birthday?

Oh.

- Director Lee? - Come on.

Should we call her Mr. Bong-Soon, then?

We were just saying that for fun. After all, it's her birthday today.

Why are you making this a big deal? We were just playing around.

Mr. Bong-Gi! We were just playing around.

Anyways, come home early tonight.

We can't do much for breakfast, but we should have a birthday dinner.

This is Bong-Soon's first birthday in this house.

Come home early, okay?

Count me out. I have a date today.

- Move it to tomorrow. - No way!

Why should I move my date for this hillbilly's birthday?

Hey hillbilly! Happy birthday.

Happy now?

Yes.

I don't want to celebrate my birthday with you either.

- Enjoy your date! - Okay, okay.

Go ahead!

- How is it? - There's nothing wrong.

I was asking, how does it taste?

The taste?

I don't know. I don't eat this for the taste.

It's probably good. After all, you made it.

What?

So you only eat to see if there's something wrong or not?

People probably envy you for eating the President's food...

... without knowing what's really going on

Yes.

What a sad job!

Hello.

Hi.

Can we talk for a minute?

What is it now?

You're acting strange, Director Lee.

What do you really want to know from me? Just get straight to the point.

The thing is...

I need to find the actress from 'Red Cherry'.

I'm sure finding people is a piece of cake for you. What's the matter?

I need to know her name if I want to ring her up.

I have no info because the movie's too old.

And since this type of movies work on the dark side...

... even the film producer's guild has nothing on her.

I see.

But why are you looking for her?

Wait, why are you asking me to help you find her?

What's going on?

Really, why?

There's a reason, right?

Are you offering the remedy after giving me a disease?

You want to go home together?

Why did you come here if you're going to be so cranky?

I thought you had a date.

Aren't you going on your date?

Let's go! Mr. Nam's waiting for us.

Aren't you gonna give me my present?

I was just kidding. Let's go!

Come on, let's go.

I'm sorry I took so long, Mr. Bong-Gi. I had a phone call to take care of.

No problem. Don't worry about it.

Alright! Bye!

You wore the tie I gave you! It looks good on you.

- Nice. - You think so?

You have such good taste.

You know what else is good? Your hair.

How was the food?

It was alright.

If you want to enjoy your meal, you should eat it with people you like.

Don't' you think so?

'Mission Impossible 3', 'Life or Death', 'Bare-footed Gi-Bong', or 'Gong Pil-Doo'

Pick a movie! Mr. Bong-Gi.

Mr. Bong-Gi! Pick a movie.

What are you thinking about?

Just contemplating which movie we should watch.

What was the name? It was something like, 'Bittersweet lovers'.

That looked good.

That movie's not in theaters anymore.

You weren't listening to me, were you?

Is something wrong?

You seem to be lost in thought even when we were eating.

Who? Me? When?

Never! Never! Never!

How can I think about some other girl when I have you by my side?

Heck no!

Stop it!

Think about some other girl?

Were you thinking about some other girl?

Mr. Bong-Gi?

Mr. Bong-Gi!

What' s this? Is he buying me a cell phone?

Maybe matching phones?

You're so cute!

Alright!

I like this one. It's slim.

You like this one?

I'll take this.

- How much can I get if I trade this in? - About $250.

Really?

Name: Yeo Bong-Soon

Mr. Chang?

Kiddo!

Good thing I ran into you.

I was contemplating whether I should go inside or not.

I almost didn't get to give this to you.

What's that?

Happy birthday. Today's your birthday, right?

Huh?

How did you remember?

It wasn't me.

This kid told me this morning.

I forgot about it the whole day, until I remembered on my way home.

It's a last minute gift.

Ta-dah! It's a cell phone!

You're too busy to remember things like this.

You don't want it?

Forget it then.

No, I want it!

I never said I didn't want it.

Give it to me.

Catch me if you can.

Give it to me!

Bong-Gi!

You're home already?

Your date's already over?

I stopped by on my way home because I remembered it was her birthday.

You had a date?

There's no other way!

The fastest and the surest thing is to make her meet the President in person.

No matter how much time passes...

... a parent can always recognize his own child!

It's too strong of a bond!

Make an occasion.

She can't even see her father on her birthday!

Don't you feel sorry for her?

I do feel sorry for her.

But this is too serious.

One wrong move can put her in danger!

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

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

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