She arrived at the hospital.

She's all right. We'll go there as soon as the ceremony is over.

I want to go to the hospital with you.

Don't worry about her too much, Mom.

Next, the bride and the groom will bow to their relatives.

Can I have a glass of juice, Mom?

It's too late for juice.

Here's some milk instead.

I'll give you the deposit money from this house, so get married.

What do you mean, you'll give me our deposit money?

You'll need some money in order to get married.

After you get married,

Eun-sae and I are going to live in a cozy studio apartment.

I'm getting too old to clean this large house.

I wouldn't live in such a large house if they gave me one now.

Who says I'm getting married?

I told you, I'm not getting married and that's final.

I'll stay here, so go home and get some rest.

-Where's your dad? -He's with your brothers.

I almost got a heart attack when I saw your grandma collapse

in the restroom with a pale face.

I can't seem to prepare myself for the eventual end.

Grandma promised to come to my wedding.

You know that she always keeps her word.

Maybe I should take my time getting married?

I know you want to get married.

Eun-chan looked quite pretty today.

So what if she is pretty? I hate her.

Why do you hate her? Did you two have a fight?

Why would I fight with her? Nothing happened.

Yoo-joo.

My dear wife!

Honey!

Honey.

Honey.

Honey!

-Honey. -Jeez! I'm right here!

Stop it. It's so strange to be called honey all of a sudden.

I like poached eggs better than egg omelets.

And I like laver that has been roasted.

These are roasted.

And I like my stews less seasoned.

I did that. And the rice is sticky just as you wanted.

And I've even cooked kimchi stew, your favorite.

Make sure to do the dishes after you're done eating.

-Hey, aren't you going to eat with me? -You know I don't eat breakfast.

Still, you want me to eat all this food by myself?

I was invited to represent Asia in a fundraising exhibit hosted by UNICEF.

-Today's our first meeting. -Cool! Really?

-When's the exhibit? -Mid-September.

We'll have our first meeting in Hong Kong this weekend,

and after the exhibit starts,

I'll have to stay in Hong Kong for about two weeks.

Why don't you come with me?

But the doctor said...

that you shouldn't fly so early into the pregnancy.

We didn't put off our honeymoon just because of my grandma.

It's also because of the baby. Remember?

I can take care of myself.

I'll call you later.

That looks delicious. Enjoy your breakfast.

I'll see you later. Call me.

Why didn't you call me?

Didn't you get my text messages?

I texted you, like, five times asking you to call when you had the time.

I even sent a final text saying I missed you.

We need to talk.

I know I'm being too selfish.

So, what's your final answer?

I'm sorry, but I can't marry you right now.

I thought a lot about why you would want to put off the marriage with me

and if it's for economic reasons, I'll help you.

I know I've taken that problem too lightly.

It's not just because of the money.

I can do all of that on my own.

I just don't want to be a burden to you.

Jeez, how can you call yourself a burden?

Don't you remember that you're the one who comforted me

when I was having a tough time?

Was I a burden to you when you were by my side, comforting me?

-This is different from that. -How is it different?

Because you gave me your heart while I'm trying to give you my money?

I promised my dad.

I guess it wasn't exactly a promise,

but I want to take care of Eun-sae and my mom on my own.

I want to achieve something on my own.

I relied on my dad when he was alive

and now that I have a boyfriend, I'm relying on him.

I don't want to rely on others without doing anything for myself.

I‘m not asking you to rely on me!

I'm saying I want us to help each other out!

That's the same thing.

Why do you dislike getting help so much?

Then how about if I promise you that I'll never give you one penny?

If I let you pay for Eun-sae's tuition on your own

and support your family on your own, will you marry me then?

Answer me!

Can't you just wait for me? Couldn't you be more understanding of me?

Why do you have to always try to force me to follow your decisions?

My decisions?

Didn't we decide together to get married?

Don't you want to marry me?

Hey, what's the ruckus?

I guess you don't.

Are you two planning to get married?

Is something going on between those two?

Han-gyeol seems to have proposed to Eun-chan.

Jeez, he's so naïve.

I don't understand it.

Why is he in such a rush to get married?

They should get married after they get to know each other more,

and they can communicate on a physical and spiritual level...

Jeez, you think you know so much, don't you?

Then why can't you understand that those two love each other so much

that they want to live together as soon as possible?

If they like each other so much, they should just live together!

Not get married, for crying out loud!

Anyway, it seemed like Eun-chan turned down Han-gyeol's marriage proposal.

Why would Eun-chan turn down a good looking guy like Han-gyeol?

She should be thankful. Is she an idiot or something?

An idiot? She's not an idiot, you are.

And why are you so interested in Eun-chan's love life anyway?

It's fun to watch how other people's love lives are going.

It's even more fun than watching a movie.

And that newspaper is there to be read, not to be used as a weapon.

You little...

Goodness. Don't those two ever get tired of fighting?

You don't love me enough to marry me, do you?

It's all right. You can be frank with me.

Is your grandma very ill?

Is that why you're rushing the marriage?

I just want to live with you.

I want to eat with you,

talk with you all the time, and sleep with you every night.

Is any other reason needed?

I'm not saying I won't marry you. I just need you to wait for five years.

You're so selfish.

I gave up on my dreams because of you

and overcame family opposition, but... Jeez!

Can't you just forget about your pride for once?

How could you be like this?

Are you're not going to marry me even if that means it's over between us?

Even if that means that we have to break up?

Goddamnit.

Why aren't you asleep?

I got bit by a mosquito.

I think there's one in my mosquito net.

Me too.

What's with your sour expression?

Is it because of your boss?

Goodness,

why does that guy only think about himself?

I really hate him.

Like you care if he breaks up with you.

Why are you getting so worked up? Go in and sleep.

How can I sleep at a time like this?

How could your boss be like that?

He wanted to be with you even when he thought you were a guy,

but now he wants to break up over nothing?

For Pete's sake! Why is that guy so fickle?

He doesn't even care about our situation.

-Stop it, will you. -How can I stop it?

He asked you to marry him even though you aren't prepared at all.

As if his money could solve everything.

What a jerk.

It's obvious that if you marry him, he'll treat you and our family like crap.

Hello. This is Choi Han-gyeol.

Hello. This is Koh Eun-sae.

Eun-chan's sister.

Eun-sae, Min-yeop's angel?

I need to talk to you. Can we meet?

-Right now? -Not right now. It's late.

Then how about tomorrow evening?

Why don't you come to the coffee shop?

I can't because Eun-chan will be there.

You want to keep it a secret from your sister?

Your sister won't be there tomorrow evening

because she has a barista class, so come to our shop.

Okay.

Two iced lattes.

Do you have a problem with me?

Why do you keep glaring at me?

Why don't you just tell me what the problem is?

It's 'cause you've messed up everything, Ha-rim!

What are you talking about?

You should have picked a better person to coach you on your love life.

What do you mean?

Think about it. The boss has Eun-chan.

Mr. Hong has Mi-suk, the woman who left him.

And I have Yuko.

But Ha-rim has no one.

How could you let someone coach you

on your love life who's no better than you?

Hey, it's not true that I have no one! The problem is, I have too many women.

-I want compensation. -What do you think you're doing?

I lost my Eun-sae thanks to you, so I want compensation for my loss!

That was actually fun! Try that again.

No-eul.

This can't be.

This can't be.

I think this is what's best for everyone.

Thanks for everything.

-When did you get here? -Just now.

You're sweating.

This is why I told you to stop working.

But you didn't listen to me and collapsed in a restroom.

You're driving me crazy, grandma.

How dare you say such a thing.

What's so wrong about me working at my company?

It's never a good idea to hold the reins of a company for too long.

Why are you here by yourself?

Where's that crazy girl who usually tags along by your side?

I thought you didn't like her?

Bring her to me.

Your mom and Mr. Hong seem to approve of her,

and I want to see if she will really be all right for you.

Later.

We still have plenty of time for that.

Did you two fight?

Actually, I told you that I was going to marry Eun-chan

because I was in such a hurry, but I never discussed it with Eun-chan.

She's supporting her family

and she seems worried about how her mom and sister

will get by after we get married. I told you before, didn't I?

She's very independent

and she always tries to do everything on her own.

I guess it's admirable.

Since it's not so great to have a woman rely on her man too much.

She's as sly as a fox, that girl, isn't she?

How can you say that, Grandma?

She must have an ulterior motive in turning down your proposal

considering she spent so much energy seducing you.

She must be angry because I opposed her.

She's acting like this in order to put you and your family at odds.

She's not like that at all, Grandma.

Her family is having a hard time, but she wants to support them by herself.

I told her I would help her out,

but she said that she didn't want to depend on a guy.

She first lived relying on her dad when he was alive,

but when her dad passed away, she found that she couldn't do anything.

That's why she doesn't want to rely on anyone else.

She wants to become a barista.

And not just any old barista but a world-class barista.

Grandma, I really respect you.

What are you trying to say?

She's just a girl trying to survive in this world.

So can't you just acknowledge her efforts

to survive in this world without relying on anyone else?

Why do you have to twist her intentions like that?

I should get going.

Why are you leaving? Eat something before you leave, dear.

Why is Han-gyeol acting like that?

I don't think Han-gyeol's fallen in love with a complete imbecile.

Set the food so I can eat it.

All that screaming has left me hungry.

I brought porridge, Mom.

I want rice! I won't be able to regain my strength with porridge.

I better take care of things.

If I leave those two alone,

nothing will come out of their relationship.

Hey!

Why are you acting so startled? Why were you running? Are you late?

I just wanted to get some extra studying done.

-Have you eaten? -I ate some bread a while ago.

-I feel like udon. Let's get some udon. -What? Wait.

Stop looking at me and eat.

I'm already finished.

Have you stopped being angry at me?

I don't know.

I wanted to visit your grandma,

but I didn't go because I thought seeing me would only aggravate her.

I don't know why I had to fall in love with a girl like you and suffer like this.

Hey. It almost sounds like you regret meeting me.

Don't worry about my grandma.

She's just jealous of how close we are.

When I think of your grandma, I think getting married quickly

is the right thing to do and I feel like I'm being too selfish.

Let's go. You'll be late for your class and I should be getting back to the shop.

Are you going to meet them?

-It depends on how you act. -Don't meet those women!

Well, it's not like you're going to be marrying me anytime soon.

Is your boss in?

I'm sorry, but we're closed.

Eun-sae.

Oh, the Wicked Witch of the East.

You're Eun-chan's sister, Eun-sae.

Where's your boss?

He should be upstairs.

Just look at her hairstyle. It's straight out of the Joseon Dynasty.

-Shut up! Stop it. -What do you see in her?

You're such an idiot.

I feel tense thinking about what you might say to me.

Are you really going to dump my sister?

I wasn't going to say anything,

but I'm just so ticked off that I can't hold it in anymore.

How could you? I thought you were supposed to be

understanding of everything if you loved somebody.

My mom wants to use the deposit on our home for Eun-chan's wedding

and move into a place with monthly rent.

But how are we going to pay rent when we barely make any money?

What are you talking about? Monthly rent?

Can you do me a favor and put off the wedding for just one year?

I don't mind not going to college since I'm not that fond of studying.

I'm going to get a job as soon as I graduate from high school.

So please wait until then.

My sister is a really good person. She would make the perfect wife.

She's strong, she's thrifty.

And even though she hasn't been able to go to school

because she had to work, she's really pretty smart.

Also, don't you like my sister a lot, mister?

I have no plans to break up with your sister at all.

Eun-chan has been so depressed lately

'cause you said that you would break up with her.

I knew it.

You just said that to scare her, didn't you? That idiot.

She didn't even know that you were just joking.

She's so stupid.

Anyway, I heard you hate me.

-Says who? -Says who? Everybody knows it.

That's not true. Even though I once thought you were a jerk,

I wouldn't hate my own brother-in-law.

What? Brother-in-law?

I thought you were going to marry my sister?

Yeah. I like being called "brother-in-law."

Is Min-yeop giving you a hard time?

Make sure to tell me if Min-yeop ever bothers you. I'll kick his butt.

Don't worry. I can handle him on my own.

Eun-sae.

I'm so sorry. I was wrong.

Please forgive me.

It's over between us, so what can I possibly forgive you for?

Are you sure you don't want to be with me?

I like you even when you're mean to me and I think you're cute

even when you're angry and screaming at me.

I really like you a lot, but if you don't want to be with me...

If you really don't,

then I'll leave you alone and never call you again.

Tell me, are you sure you don't want to be with me?

I'm sure.

Are you really sure?

Yeah.

My heart's broken,

but I understand.

Thanks for everything.

Have a nice life.

You bastard!

Why are you pretending to be so cool?

When were you ever this cool?

When did you ever give up when I turned you down again and again?

It's just that there's nothing I can do

if you don't want to be with me.

You swore to love only me but went out with another behind my back.

You stabbed me in the back pretending to be naïve.

You're worse than the worst playboy in the world!

Look at me.

Look at me!

Did you or did you not kiss that girl?

Of course I didn't kiss her.

I wouldn't kiss anyone but you. I really didn't.

That girl did want to kiss me, but I didn't kiss her.

It's the truth! Please believe me.

-Did you hug her then? -I didn't do that either!

-You'd better not be lying to me! -I'm not!

If you think you can love only me from now on,

follow me or leave.

Eun-sae.

I'm following you right now.

I wanted you to know that just in case you didn't.

Can I keep following you?

Put your hands on my shoulders.

-Hey! Let me down! -Oh, my angel!

You're so heavy!

-I'll never cheat on you again, all right? -You better not!

Don't do that! That's fine! Stop it!

Jeez, you can't even drink coffee anymore.

I feel so sorry for you, ma'am.

Then why are you laughing?

Is Eun-chan's family really that poor?

Why? Would you help her family out if they were?

Is that what the girl wants?

She's at an age when she wants to hang out with friends,

but she has been working hard to support her family

without a word of complaint.

She works hard at everything.

She's a really good kid.

I heard that she wants to become a barista. Is this true?

If she studies a little more, she'll be a better barista than me.

If you ask me, she shouldn't get married.

She should go to Italy and continue her studies.

What? Not get married?

You know I don't think very highly of marriage.

I don't understand

why everyone thinks that they have to get married.

People are so dependent.

It's much better to live life to the fullest by yourself,

doing the things you want to do.

So that they can be dumped by some girl after living with her, like you?

I don't regret that at all, ma'am.

Do you regret anything in your life?

I see that at least you've had the decency to dress up before coming here.

This tie is imported!

Aren't most ties imported?

Where can I get a cup of coffee around here?

The number you have dialed is busy at the moment.

Please leave a message after the beep.

You're here?

What's going on?

This is my team for the upcoming exhibit

and since they weren't able to come to the wedding,

they made a surprise visit to celebrate.

Have you been drinking?

You worked all night and drank alcohol?

I'm sorry. I was just finishing up here and about to go home.

I'm used to your work coming ahead of me by now,

but shouldn't our child come ahead of your work?

Is that too much to ask?

Both are important to me.

Both are equally important to me

and I want to do equally well as an artist and a mom.

Can't you be more understanding and supportive?

How much more understanding can I be?

Do I have to stand by as you drink and work all night long?

Is that how a husband should be?

What if I stuck to my decision and put off the marriage,

but Han-gyeol's grandma passed away during that time?

The boss would be so angry and he would probably resent me, huh?

My head feels like it's going to burst.

What do you think, Seon-gi? Do I seem selfish to you?

Yuko left me.

You mean the child's mom?

I asked her to let me stay by her side,

to let me see her, but she left.

She probably felt uneasy.

I thought I was helping her, but it wasn't what she wanted.

I followed her here on my own

and I insisted on staying by her side without any regard for her wishes.

I was being selfish.

So, what are you going to do now?

I'm going to wait for her,

even if it means I have to continue being selfish.

Because I can't think of anything else.

Hello?

I need to meet with you.

Hello, ma'am.

I told you not to come to work again.

I'm here to settle my affairs before I leave, you idiot!

You imbecile!

How could you fall so hard for a girl that you let her boss you around?

That's not true, grandma. She can't live a day without me!

What are you waiting for? Come over here and sit down.

Hello, ma'am.

She says she'll marry you after she's become a barista, you idiot.

This will be good for Eun-chan,

this will be good for me since I'll have more time to accept Eun-chan

as your future wife.

This will benefit you since you only have to wait five years instead of two.

This is good for everyone. So, why are you so against this?

Only mean, petty men force their women

to give up their dreams in order to be with them.

-Do you understand? -But still, grandma,

why do you want to send her abroad all of a sudden?

Why do you want to put her in an employee study abroad program?

I sent Hong Gye-sik abroad to study.

And half of my employees in our R and D department are people

that I've sent abroad to study.

So, what will it be? Will you go or not?

I'm not an employee of Dongin Foods.

Isn't the employee study abroad program for employees only?

Hey! You were screaming about not accepting even a penny from me

and now you're considering my grandma's offer to send you abroad?

She can't go abroad, Grandma.

She won't part with her mom and sister.

She hates Italian food,

she doesn't know Italian and she doesn't know anyone there,

so why would she want to go abroad?

Answer me, Eun-chan! Are you going to go or not?

Why are yelling at me? I never said I would go.

Did you hear her? She said she won't go.

No, she didn't. She just said that she didn't say she would go.

You're a third party in this matter, so stay out of it.

I lost my parents at the age of twelve,

and I've worked all my life to pull myself up by the bootstraps

and become what I am today.

That's why I understand your situation.

Your situation isn't likely to get better anytime soon,

and your family can't live their entire life relying on you.

So if she isn't planning

to keep you around forever, she should find a way to support herself.

But my mom has never worked a day in her life.

She needs to learn how to survive on her own.

You'll be awarded a small monthly stipend when you go abroad.

You can give that to your mom and study, supporting yourself in Italy.

What are you two talking about?

Grandma! You're trying to separate us, aren't you?

Would you two break up if I tried to separate you?

Then, that's even better for me.

It's your choice.

If you come back after studying abroad

for two years and you two are still in love,

I might approve of your relationship.

Don't be like this, Grandma!

You're not very healthy, it would be better

if I could give you great-grandchildren...

Don't pretend this is because of me!

I know it's because you don't think you can bear it.

Even the doctor said I was fine!

He said that my white blood cell count couldn't be any better!

Hey! You said you couldn't marry me

because of your family's financial situation,

but I guess you want to study abroad.

Think whatever you want.

Hey! Answer me! Are you really going to go?

I'm not going, okay!

I'm in no position to study abroad.

Even if I decide to go, it will be at my expense. Happy?

It's hard enough not seeing her for even a day.

How could I wait for her for two years?

-Hi, mom. -Hi, dear. Has everyone gone home?

Of course. It's pretty late right now. What's that?

You said you would be staying here until late tonight,

so I brought you something to eat.

Cool! Mom, this is something I made. Try it.

This is so pretty! So you made this?

It says "I love you."

Be frank with me. You want to go study abroad, don't you?

-Frankly? -Yeah.

A little when the chairwoman first brought it up.

A little or a lot?

A lot, to be frank with you.

But that was only for a moment

because I would have to be away from you and Eun-sae if I went.

Is it because of me?

If it's because of me, you should go.

Frankly, I've never worked because you

never made it necessary for me to work,

but I can support myself.

You can support yourself?

How?

You may not know this,

but widows who raise their children on their own develop inner strength.

If I had to support myself, I could.

So you should go if your boyfriend is all right with it.

I'm not going.

And if I do decide to go, it will be after you get married.

What are you talking about?

-To Mister Gu. -What do you mean?

Mr. Gu is just a good neighbor and nothing more to me.

Is that so? Then, why are you blushing?

-I'm not blushing! -Right here!

How can you tease your own mom like that?

Didn't you say that if a man asks you to marry him,

you should just pretend to give in and marry him?

So, you should just marry Mr. Gu if he proposes.

It's about time that you lived your own life

and not worry about me and Eun-sae.

For once in my life,

I want to see you live your life freely,

doing what you want, unhindered by considerations...

for me and your sister.

I'll get you some water.

What are your dreams, Eun-chan?

I think my dream is to live happily with my mom and sister.

But now, I want to become a barista.

I finally have a dream and I want to keep trying to the end.

CHOI HAN-SUNG

My feelings were hurt because she drove me half mad

when I asked her to marry me by saying that she didn't want my help.

But then, she considered it when grandma offered to send her to study abroad.

Eun-chan's still young

and there are a lot of things she wants to do.

I'm sure there are a lot of things she had to give up in order to be with you.

I've given up a lot of things too!

I gave up going to New York and I even overcame my parents' opposition!

I don't know why I'm being like this.

What did you really give up?

You gave up going to New York because of Eun-chan?

You didn't go because you like running the coffee shop, right?

You shouldn't say that.

But I guess I'm in no position to say this to you.

Why?

I drink all night long and work all night long all the time,

but when Yoo-joo stayed out all night working,

I got so angry that I almost told her to quit her work.

I guess this is why women don't want to get married.

Do you remember what you said to me a long time ago?

That I shouldn't try to tame Yoo-joo?

Yeah.

But I think all men try to tame their women.

The moment you think that a woman is your woman,

you want her to live her life according to your wishes.

Even if you've decided to be with a girl,

that doesn't give you the right to control her life.

-I wish I could control Eun-chan's life. -You too?

Same here.

But why is it so difficult to do?

Good morning, everyone.

-Hey. -Hello, boss.

Hey, what's wrong with your face?

It's all dark. Are you sick?

She stayed up all night blending coffees.

She had like 200 cups of coffee.

That's why they say that coffee is a lot like love.

Hey. Why did you stay up all night long?

You did this to show me, didn't you?

How could you stab me in the back like this?

What are you talking about?

I know you put on a show because you want to go study abroad.

Why would I put on a show?

I was just studying how to blend coffees.

You're so petty.

Me, petty? You're as stubborn as a mule.

See? You are petty.

Just look at you. You look like a panda. You're so stubborn.

I missed you.

I don't know if she's stupid or naïve,

but my face was like ten inches from hers and closing in rapidly when she says,

"Let's just be friends, Ha-rim."

She said that she didn't want to become involved with me

because I seem like a playboy!

I guess she doesn't like you.

Hey. How could you be so blind as to what a fellow girl is thinking?

The problem isn't that she doesn't like me,

it's that she likes me too much.

The way she looked up at me with her big round eyes,

she seemed to be saying, "Kiss me, Ha-rim!"

And at that moment, my heart began to pound!

Hey. What are you doing, putting your arm around my girl's shoulders?

Hey. Follow me.

I'm not going abroad. I don't want to.

As a matter of fact,

I was just about to call your grandma to tell her my decision.

Why don't you want to?

There are a hundred different reasons that I don't want to go.

But don't you really want to go despite those hundred different reasons?

I don't want to send you away either.

I wouldn't want to work here without you around,

and I don't even want to think about not being able to see you.

Part of the reason that I didn't go to New York

was because I didn't want to be away from you.

So, why would I want you to go?

But I want you to broaden your horizons.

If you go, you'll be able to study to your heart's content.

But I don't want to be apart from you.

I won't be able to see you if I go.

Why wouldn't you be able to see me?

It's not like you're going to the moon.

I'll visit you in Italy.

I don't want you to give up your dreams because of me.

I want to support you so you can develop and better yourself.

Do you really want me to go?

Look at me.

No. Why should I? You're leaving anyway.

You must really want me to go

since you don't even want to look at my face.

I've realized that I can't be the one responsible for your life.

But it's all right because I can cheer you on from the sidelines.

Although we'll be apart for the time being, later on,

when you make your first batch of kimchi,

when you hold our first child,

when you go to your first PTA meeting

and at our children's weddings...

It's a lot more difficult to propose than I thought.

Hey, call your mom and tell her I'm coming over.

What?

I should introduce myself to her formally before you leave.

Just remember, I'll kill you if you cheat on me over there.

I won't cheat on you.

Hey, Han-sung.

Hey. Where are you? Are you still at your studio?

No. I'm home.

Are you done working?

Yeah. Will you be done soon?

It sounds somebody wants me to come back home early.

It would be nice if you would.

This is my subtle way of nagging you.

Come out. Let's go out for dinner together.

I've already prepared a delicious dinner, so come home quickly.

Really?

So you've already prepared dinner?

Okay.

Your wish is my command. I'll come home early tonight. Bye.

Honey, I'm home!

Hey!

-What's that? -Why are you acting so surprised?

You didn't think I could make kimchi, did you?

So, this is how it feels to be married.

-You're looking like a real wife today. -Yes.

Hey! So if I have kimchi on my hands, I'm a wife,

and if I have paint on my hands, I'm not?

Exactly. You would just be my girlfriend, not my wife.

So is this all there is to eat? Nothing else?

Of course not. I've already cooked the rice.

Today's dinner will consist of piping hot rice

and fresh radish kimchi.

Try it.

What do you think?

It's good, but it tastes a little strange,

as if it's missing an ingredient.

Actually, I think it's missing a couple of ingredients.

You're right. But what?

At least it has a nice color to it. Right?

Of course, it does. An artist made it.

You're so great.

How did your grandma,

mom and dad all decide to send Eun-chan abroad?

I guess it's all sunshine and roses for you from now on.

Stop it, will you?

You've made the right decision.

I can't believe that not only will you be furthering your studies,

but you'll be studying abroad!

I'm so grateful I don't know what to say.

It's nothing, ma'am.

Eun-chan's going to study abroad. You're so lucky.

You're the best brother-in-law in the whole wide world.

Thank you, sister-in-law.

Brother-in-law? Sister-in-law? Are you guys playing around?

Why? Are you jealous because we're close?

So, when do you plan on getting married?

As soon as Eun-chan returns from...

Ma'am, I should have asked you this a long time ago,

but it's better late than never.

I would like to ask your permission

to be your daughter's boyfriend and potential future husband.

You really don't need to ask me for my permission.

From what I hear, they didn't need your permission

-to do everything that a couple does. -We didn't do anything.

Do you need any spending money, Eun-sae?

Here's a little something for you.

So this is why it's so nice to have a brother-in-law!

What do you think you're doing?

I guess they really have done everything.

She's such a problem child. She's completely different from Eun-chan.

You already seem at ease around my family.

-Drink up. -Yes, ma'am.

Cool. So this is your room? It's so small.

It's not that small.

It's not like I play soccer in here.

Take a seat.

So, where do you usually sleep?

I sometimes sleep here and sometimes I sleep over there.

Take a look at this.

I've set up the robots you gave me there.

This is the one you made for me in the very beginning.

So you even have this one?

I fall asleep hugging it every night.

Really? How?

Like this.

Lucky robot.

By the way, when Italian men tell women that they're pretty and that they're sexy,

they're usually just being polite, so don't let it go to your head.

I already miss you.

How did I ever get like this?

-You have to call me every day, okay? -Okay. Thanks.

What do you think you're doing putting your hand up my shirt like that?

Why? Can't I?

That's not it.

My hand seemed to have slipped from your shoulder.

Liar.

Why can't we do anything except kiss?

-My mom will hear us! -Don't touch me!

You better not lay a finger on me from now on.

Why are you acting so angry?

You're the one who tried to fondle me.

My hand just slipped, that's all.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Why did the chairwoman want to see you?

She doesn't want me to quit the company

after they've paid for my schooling like you did,

so she made me sign a contract.

Make sure to learn all you can and teach me when you come back.

My Chan!

I met Byeol yesterday.

I guess things are going well with her.

Byeol is so in love with me.

She said she would even believe me if I told her that the moon was the sun.

Why, just yesterday, I played a joke on her with my cell phone.

I told her that you could recharge my cell phone

by holding it up to the sunlight.

That it would recharge from the energy

of the sun and she stood there

for an entire hour holding my cell phone up to the sun.

Isn't she just adorable?

-Don't you think she's a little stupid? -She's fun to be with.

Now, maybe I should give the regular I was seeing a call?

I know. I'll call Min-ji today.

-You're here! -Hey!

Oh, jeez.

Are you so busy that you can't even talk to me?

I'm busy making the preparations to send you abroad.

-You're sweating! -Hey! Don't touch me!

Jeez, are you still angry at me because of what happened in my room?

So petty.

Still? What happened in your room really hurt my feelings.

You made me feel like some animal! Don't you dare come near me.

-What if I do? -I'm not kidding.

You're so cute. Maybe, I should just jump onto you.

Hey! Take one more step and I'll kiss you to death!

Kiss me? I heard that they kiss as a greeting in Italy.

I'll practice kissing a lot

and greet everyone I see there with a kiss.

Are you trying to tick me off on purpose?

How did you know?

This is Ha-rim.

I'm going to be getting off of work pretty soon, so wait for me

in front of that convenience store where we usually meet.

I don't think I can see you today, Ha-rim.

Really?

Come to think of it, I'm busy too.

Anyway, why? Is something wrong?

Not really.

I'm just out drinking with a few friends from school.

What? Friends? Are there male friends too?

Yeah. Three of them.

-Hey! Where is that bar? -What is she doing?

Hey! I think I'm near that bar.

It's the bar near your school, isn't it?

Ha-rim! My battery's draining.

-Hey! Hello? Byeol! Hello! Hey! -I'll call you back later.

-Sorry. -Byeol! Hey!

He's not a playboy. He's more like a kid.

But your battery's fine.

-No, it isn't. -Hey.

Hey. Are you already seeing someone else? Jeez!

Byeol! She hung up on me. I can't believe this!

What's the matter?

It's the naïve girls that really end up frustrating you!

I haven't even kissed her yet.

Hey. You better give Han-gyeol some loving instead of making him suffer!

What did I do?

Hanging out with you as you smile your naïve little smile

is probably torture for Han-gyeol.

He's probably completely anguished about your leaving,

but all you've done is let him kiss you!

I can't believe how much self-control Han-gyeol's exercising.

I wouldn't be surprised if he falls ill later on!

I wanted to try to get further with Byeol today,

but she's out drinking with her friends!

-Are you feeling all right? -Hey!

Let me give you a massage.

-Don't come any closer! -Come over here!

-Don't come near me! -How is it torture if I touch you?

-You've hit a dead end! -Don't come any closer!

Hey! I'm going to touch you now!

Don't come near me. You're dead meat!

I'm sorry! I won't touch you!

-No! Not my thighs! -Wait up!

Have a drink, Ji-hyang. I just poured that beer.

Thanks. I was in the mood for a beer today.

Is it because Eun-chan's leaving? Don't worry about it too much.

Don't worry about it too much. You can use a videophone to talk

to her face to face, and the two years will just fly by.

I'm just worried because she's never lived away from home.

You have to learn to stand on your own

and not rely on your children.

You can say that because you don't have any children.

But you have me, Ji-hyang!

You can lean on me as much as you want.

This night

Which blossoms in longing

Is illuminated by the pink glow Of the butcher shop

-You must be so happy, Mr. Gu. -Can you tell, Mr. Hong?

You must be so happy, Ji-hyang

Love makes people happy

Is there anywhere you want to visit?

Of course, there is.

I've even made a list of places where I want to go for dates.

The theme park, a baseball game, a movie, the arcade...

Hey! They're all places that are bustling with people.

-Isn't there any place that's quiet? - Quiet?

Well, there's the N Seoul Tower,

63 Building, we could go on a ferry down the Han River or to Cheonggyecheon.

Those are all tourist attractions and they're not quiet.

Then you pick. The Palgakjeong? Gyeongbok Palace? The Folk Village?

They're places that people your age like.

Hey, I'm not that old.

Then let's just go to the shop.

Okay. It was my mistake for trying to take you out on a date.

Let's just return to the shop.

Is there anyone who would be a good fit for the job?

Byeol would be perfect for the job.

Keep your love life out of this coffee shop!

How about my angel? She's really nice and really pretty.

We're back.

Weren't you two supposed to go out on a date?

We decided to come back early.

They must have fought again.

Why do they keep fighting every other day?

Because they fell in love through their fights.

Why are you all sitting there?

We're trying to figure out who we should hire since Eun-chan

will be gone and you'll be busy with the work on the franchise.

Do whatever you want, Mr. Hong.

Their relationship is always so up and down.

As I leave

the Coffee Prince Shop.

I'll see you

in two years.

KOH EUN-CHAN

Are you sleeping?

MY HAN-GYEOL

No, I'm not.

What are you doing?

I miss you.

I miss you.

I hope to see you in my dreams!

Hey. My stomach's not feeling so good

and I think I'll go for a walk around the block.

-You have a stomachache? -Yeah.

-You? Who will believe you? -Yeah.

Hey! Something smells fishy!

Boss!

Boss.

Boss.

Boss.

What are you doing?

I ran over here because I missed you.

What are you doing coming here so late at night?

You shouldn't come to a single guy's home at this hour!

Wait here. I'll go get my car keys.

Hey! Where do you think you're going?

Let's have a glass of wine.

Wine at this hour? Hey!

Don't go in there.

Why are you drinking so much wine?

Do you know what time it is right now?

I'm leaving as soon as I finish this.

Why are you trying so hard to get rid of me

when I've only been here for a short while?

A short while? You've been here for an hour.

You were even timing how long I've been here?

Fine. Just pour me one more glass.

For Pete's sake!

I'll leave after this one glass.

Promise you'll leave after you finish this?

I won't stay even if you ask me to.

Just have a little more.

-Is this movie any good? -I already saw those and they're no good.

Why are you yelling at me?

-Hey! That phone doesn't work! -Hello?

-What do you think you're doing? -This really doesn't work?

-Hey! Where are you going? -This feels so cool!

-This feels so cool! This is nice! -Hey! Stop it! You'll break my fridge!

A basketball.

Don't! Don't bounce it!

Do you hate me being here with you?

I hate myself but not you.

Hey! Stop running around like that for crying out loud!

Hey! You want to listen to some music?

No! I don't want to listen to any music!

What are you doing, reading at this hour?

What are you reading?

140. THE 5 CUSHION DRIVE

Why are you giving me the silent treatment?

Do you still play with LEGOs nowadays?

Make me something nice so I can take it to Milan with me.

Come on. It will take you no time at all to make something.

Hey! Go back home right now!

Just one more minute.

Why are you being so annoying? Go away!

Okay! Just give me one more minute!

Hey! Get up!

No! I won't go!

I won't go!

I won't go!

Go home for Pete's sake!

Wait a minute! Give me one more minute!

Hey! My shoes are in there,

-Shoes. -and I haven't finished my wine.

Shut up and leave me alone!

Open the door! I'm not some beggar asking for money.

How could you slam your door in your girlfriend's face?

Why is she bothering me like this?

Doesn't she even know why I'm acting like this?

Hey! From now on, you're forbidden from entering my home!

If you want to come here,

come here during the day accompanied by someone like Ha-rim!

-I'm going to cheat on you! -What?

There are a lot of handsome men in Italy.

I'm going to cheat on you with someone who's taller,

more handsome, and smarter than you are!

I don't want to waste my life being faithful to you!

Right now, I don't know why I'm wasting my life on you.

Open the door!

Or I'm going to start showing you how rebellious I can be! Open the door!

Hey! What do you think you are, a teenager?

Wait here and I'll give you a ride home.

Hey! Don't you dare come in here! Move your foot!

Jeez.

I'm warning you, if you come into my apartment,

I'm not going to send you home tonight!
