Great job!

Mother,

she sure can sing, can't she?

Oh, I don't know.

Okay, now to thank my wife,

I'd like to recite a poem I composed this morning.

You're the best!

Title: My 60th Birthday Party

I cannot believe I am already 60.

People say it's a time for celebration.

My lifetime partner and beloved wife...

is throwing a birthday party for me.

With my loving and respectful Mother,

and my wonderful siblings...

The day brings me so much joy.

Honey, that's fine.

Everyone must be hungry. Let's eat before the food gets cold.

How dare you stop my son from reciting?

You must do this all the time at home, right?

I never do that, Mother.

When will you ever try expensive food like this?

I want you to try them before it gets cold.

What did you say?

We can't even say anything to you.

Every time we say anything, you give us the stink eye.

Why did you invite us in the first place, then?

Honey, what's wrong? Please stop it.

What did I do? Stop what?

Well, fine. I'll hold it in.

I'm so used to it, anyway.

Why, you!

How dare you give him the stink eye when he's just talking to you.

How dare you talk back to your husband like that.

You got your very own son killed.

Grandmother!

Don't you think you're being too harsh?

Mom prepared this party for Dad.

She's right.

What did Mom do so wrong that you blame her for everything?

What did you say? How dare you!

Stop talking to us that way.

You never call us by our names.

Gosh, look how you raised the rudest girls ever!

Don't you dare call my girls rude!

They were brought up better than most of other kids.

You got your own son killed!

You must be so proud to have raised your daughters so well!

You're right, Mother.

I got my son killed.

I'm the worst mother who got her own son killed.

I've prepared one more thing today.

Honey...

I know it must've been very hard for you...

to live with a woman like me until you turned 60.

Please accept it. I want you to have it.

Oh, my!

She must've prepared something fancy for you!

Hurry up and open it.

I wonder what's inside.

Oh, okay. Alright.

Thank you, honey.

What is this?

What the...?

What is that?

What... what is that?

Huh?

Divorce papers?

What?

A divorce?

I already sealed mine,

so all you have to do is seal yours.

Here.

Do it.

What happened between Mom and Dad while I was gone?

Nothing special.

They never really cared for each other.

So why divorce all of a sudden?

How do you define a situation like this?

It's just called a late-life divorce.

Wives holding it in for years, when their husbands...

get old and powerless, they divorce them out of revenge.

But it's not like Dad did anything majorly wrong to Mom.

Grandmother is the problem.

And that's Dad's fault.

He should've protected Mom from Grandmother's irrational attacks.

You're absolutely right, Hee-sung.

Husbands have more duties than just bringing home money.

They should protect their family, too.

Well, Dad didn't even bring home money.

But it's not like Dad didn't work.

His poem books just didn't sell well.

Dad must be really shocked.

It was his birthday party after all...

Shouldn't we stop them from divorcing?

Mom, are you all right?

How dare you ask him for a divorce.

You're the one who's been putting him down all these years!

That's right, Mother.

I guess I didn't do a single thing right.

He quit his job as a teacher 20 years ago to be a poet.

And he's never brought home a penny.

So I supported him and put our girls to schools.

But you're right. I guess I did nothing.

Not only did I have to prepare for holidays,

but 5 ancestral memorial services per year all by myself,

but I guess in your eyes, it was nothing.

When I had a hard time putting the girls through schools,

instead of helping us, you sold your farming land...

and gave all the money to your other children...

so that they can move to bigger houses and change cars.

Why would I spend a dime on your daughters?

They will end up marrying into other families!

I gave my other children my money because they all have sons!

How dare you complain about that.

Is that it?

So, you're getting a divorce, all because of my mom?

I guess my mom is the guilty person here.

No, it's not all her fault.

It's not all her fault?

Fine. Let's hear it.

Just what did we do so wrong?

You did do something terribly wrong.

Mother is just an old person...

But you... you're too young to team up with Mother...

and talk trash about me and break our relationships.

Whatever I did was not good enough for you.

All I was doing was trying to live my life to the fullest,

but you were mocking me and talking trash about me.

Will you stop it?

Look at the mess you've created.

You called everybody for my birthday party,

and you humiliated me like this!

We could've talked about our problems in private.

If this is just about you and I,

we would've worked things out long time ago.

What's there that we can't work out together?

I'm not saying this is all your fault.

But every time you did anything, you made such a fuss.

Was I supposed to shut up about all the sacrifices I made?

For all the labor and hardship I had to go through,

was I supposed to act like it's all nothing?

You're the oldest daughter-in-law.

It's your duty to do those things.

As long as you keep quiet, everybody will be happy.

No.

I kept quiet for too long.

I thought if I kept quiet and sacrificed,

your family will accept me as one of them...

and thank me for all the hard work I did.

She's right.

None of you ever thanked her for anything.

Dad, you were never on Mom's side. Not even once.

Every time something went wrong, you blamed Mom for everything.

Think about what drove Mom to do this.

All she ever did was work, work, and work.

Well, we all worked hard. Every one of us.

It's not that she did all the work all alone.

Then how come you're always picking on her?

How dare you talk back at your father.

You learned to do that from your mother, didn't you?

You nasty girls!

Don't you dare call them nasty!

Don't speak that way to my daughters.

Why not? Why can't she?

Look at what your girls are doing.

Hey, your parents are getting divorced.

Instead of stopping them, you're siding with your mother?

You have no right to say that, Aunt.

What?

Right.

Who are the people who gave such heartaches to Mom?

About their divorce...

I think every one of us here are responsible for it.

What...what did you say?

What did you just say?

Hey, keep quiet when adults are talking!

Gosh, I can't even talk because of those girls.

Since I always praised you girls to be smart,

you think you can speak to us that way?

Oh, really?

When did you ever praise my girls to be smart?

How dare you talk to your sister-in-law that way.

Mom. Mom. Sit and calm down.

Wait. Wait.

Since we're getting a divorce, it's pointless to do the blame game.

Mr. Ma Jung-ki, please seal right there.

Gosh.

Why you...!

Yeah. Just do it!

Why would you be so hesitant?

Just seal the paper! Do it!

She's right.

She'll be the one at loss here.

She thinks we'd get on our knees and beg.

Just show her what you're made of.

Hurry up and do it.

The longer you stall, the more she'll be a snob.

Just seal the paper already!

I said hurry up!

Bro, just do it.

What are you waiting for?

Just do it!

Do it, Bro.

Honey...

Honey, this isn't right, huh?

They're right. Hurry up and seal the paper.

Yeah. Just do it.

Why would you stall?

Kick her out without a dime!

You don't need to give her any alimony.

Hurry up and seal the paper.

Mom...

I feel so free right now.

Dad...

In-sung.

Please stop your mother.

Goodness...

Girls, let's go.

Oh, gosh!

Why, that...!

I should hurry up and die.

Mom. Mom.

Oh, that nasty woman!

You must've endured so much living with her.

I'm glad you divorced her.

Gosh, why is she so clumsy...

What's in here?

I'm home.

We're going to eat now.

Start.

We're going to eat. Start.

Start!

Start.

We waited for you, Jung-geun.

Why were you so late?

You should've just went ahead without me.

That's not what a family is all about.

A family is about getting together...

and sharing the food at one table.

The two drumsticks go to our two pillars,

Jung-geun and Seung-geun.

And the wings go to Jung-ie,

who will be married off to another family.

Dad, this is totally not fair.

She's right.

You should have a drumstick, Dad,

and another goes to Jung-ie.

Why?

I told you I like chicken's neck the best.

No whining. Start eating.

Start.

Oh, Dad.

Are you going to leave that room empty?

We should rent the room out for extra money.

It's because I'm trying to catch two rabbits at once.

It's not easy finding a nice, young lady to rent the room.

Our last tenant was so sweet and charming,

so I wanted to keep her here, but you lost her.

Both of you lost her.

Dad, she wasn't charming.

She looked more like a wrestler.

I have no interest in dating a wrestler, either.

A girl should be pretty and sweet.

No way.

The most important factor of a girl is that she's economical.

Second important is that she has a big waist,

and strong and healthy enough to lift up anything.

That's all you need to see in a girl.

Gosh, Dad...

Oh, Jung-geun.

Are you going to get the travel voucher to South-East Asia...

that your company is offering as an incentive?

Of course.

I win all the incentives my company offers.

Good.

Don't worry about things like that.

If you do your job properly, money will follow.

When I was in the Marine back in the days...

I was so hungry that I had to keep on fastening my belt.

I had to walk miles and miles every single day to work,

just so I can save on bus fares.

And in Winter, I'd only have one blanket...

without any heater to save on electricity.

What in the world is happening to our family?

I guess we're now children from a broken home...

We're not children anymore.

Anyway, how is Dad going to live from now on?

I'm so happy now.

What are you girls doing there?

Aren't you tired?

Mom, are you all right?

Why, of course! What?

Since I'm divorced?

Oh gosh, I feel like flying right now.

I've never been happier than today.

Gosh, I'm so happy!

Where would Dad stay from now on?

Don't you worry about that.

He has his mother.

She'll take better care of him than me.

So, don't worry about a thing.

I lived with him until he turned 60,

so I paid my dues.

In-sung, you're going to work from tomorrow, right?

You must be exhausted. Go to sleep.

We'll talk more later.

Ji-sung, Hee-sung, go on.

Oh, Ji-sung...

You do not need to let your in-laws know about our divorce.

In-sung and Hee-sung...

Don't you worry about your parents getting divorced.

This has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Professor Ma, Dr. Ma, and Dr. Ma...

You three shine just the way you are.

You girls are perfect just the way you are.

Don't you ever forget that.

Mom...

Mom...

My life was a disaster...

because I had to find my way out of rocks and bushes.

But you...all you have to do is march forward.

I'll take care of any obstacles in your way.

If there's even a smallest thing that gets in your way,

I won't sit back and watch.

Okay.

Oh, my darlings.

What a long day.

Why is this so heavy?

What are all these?

Just what kind of a woman is she?

Gosh.

I know I packed them well.

Mom!

I must've left my bag in his car.

I mean, it was a crazy, busy day for me.

Oh, well. I'm the king of sales,

and the best worker at my company.

It'd be weird if I wasn't busy.

So, you're the king of sales?

You think you're such a hot shot, huh?

I'm late. I'm late!

Mom, why didn't you wake me up?

I have to prepare for my meeting.

I didn't wake you up since you said your meeting is in the afternoon.

Why do you have to work for JW and not some other company?

You know JW is Ji-sung's in-law's company.

I hear her mother-in-law...

is always poking her nose in the company matters.

You know how many affiliates JW has?

She probably doesn't even know that I'm here as their consultant.

Besides, I'm leaving in just 6 months.

Well, all she knows how to do is poke her nose in other's businesses,

I'm sure she is clueless when it comes to the real work.

I thought JW was doing very well.

Why are they asking you to work...

without giving you a single day to rest?

They must need you urgently.

Oh, come on.

Hey, my dark horse.

How have you been?

What the...?

Why isn't it opening?

Good boy.

It feels like it was yesterday...

when I bought you with my very first paycheck.

We have to be together for a long, long time.

Let's go.

Bad car. Bad car.

You kids wrote "bad car" in my window?

You cutie pies...

Maybe we should've taken her to the hospital.

Mother, here's some water.

Please get up.

Please drink some water.

Why are you still here?

I can't go since you're so sick.

This is really, really wrong.

If you are divorced,

she should be the one to leave the house.

Why are you out of your own house?

You already sealed your paper.

She's no longer our family.

Why are you so considerate of her?

I'm going to go and grill her!

Get up! Now!

Mom...

How can you say such a thing?

What do you mean?

You still care about her...

after being so humiliated on your own birthday?

She must've been so upset with me for years.

Please let this go, Mother.

She has nothing to be upset about!

I'm going to go and teach her a hard lesson.

Or else, she'll make a habit...

of throwing a divorce paper in your face.

Oh, gosh, I'm going to teach her a lesson!

You're my eldest son!

You're the most important person in my family!

Stretch out your shoulders! Look proud!

What are you waiting for? Let's get ready to leave.

We're coming with you?

I don't think she'd budge even if we go.

We're a family!

We have to team up...

and teach that witch a hard lesson!

Come on! Get up!

Come on!

All right. All right. All right.

This is so nice.

A relaxing time with a cup of coffee...

It's so nice to not prepare rice and soup in the morning.

He doesn't even work,

and yet he demanded me to cook rice and soup three times a day!

Who cares if you eat rice without soup?

Doesn't he know that eating soup everyday...

is the very reason Koreans consume too much sodium?

Why isn't it working?

It should be #2593. How come it's not working?

Don't you know the lock number to your own house?

Is it #2953?

What the...?

Who's that?

Oh, my gosh.

Maybe she changed the lock numbers!

How dare she change the locks to my son's house?

Open the door right this instant!

I know you're in there!

I know! I know!

How dare you change the locks on your own husband?

Who's there?

Why are you pounding on my door like that?

If you continue to do that, I'm calling the police.

Po...Police?

Honey!

It's me! Open the door.

My siblings and Mother came together.

Who are you?

Who are you, and why would I care about your mother?

Open the door right this second!

How dare you not open the door to my son's house?

Open it up!

I think you have the wrong house.

This house belongs to me, Hong Ae-ja.

What is that witch blabbering now?

This is my son's house not yours!

Open the door right now!

Let me explain about the house.

I bought this house 10 years ago with my money.

And it's under my name, too.

I even pay the property tax each year.

Do you finally understand what's going on now, old lady?

Why, that vixen!

What is that witch blabbering right now?

How can she be in my son's house...

and not open the door to the owner?

Open the door! Open the door!

Open the door! Open it!

Mom! Mother!

Oh, my goodness.

She's going to faint at this rate.

Honey.

Honey, you can't do this to me. Open the door right now.

Mother is about to pass out.

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

The door must be broken.

I'm sorry.

Jung-tae.

Yes?

Let's first go to your house.

Why are we leaving? You can't leave your own house!

I am not going anywhere! I refuse to!

Mother.

Let's go back to Jung-tae's house for now.

My neighbors are complaining.

Who cares about your neighbors?

I'm not going!

I'm not going! I'm not going!

Oh, gosh...

Where are we going? I'm not going anywhere!

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four.

Two, two.

Oh, gosh, I'm so happy!

One, two, three.

Two, two. Two, two.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four.

I'm so happy!

I saw everything!

You did, but that’s not what happened!

She’s not even feeding me dinner and torturing me.

You don't look like a doctor.

Get changed.

Why do you keep speaking informally to me?

Watch your tone.

A show-off princess.

That's not it...

What do you mean, that's not it?

You're not saying you want to change your major again, right?

I'm sorry, please give us another chance!

Do you guys want to lose your positions, too?

Do you think I can ever forget that day?

That day!

Stop it!
