REPLY 1988

1989 RISING SOCCER PLAYER

Oh, my. Look at the time.

It's time for Room Relay.

Have dinner, Moo-sung.

Okay.

Don't hobble around trying to do dishes.

Just push them aside.

I'll come by later to do it.

I'm off.

Okay.

You could just crawl right in!

Crawl into the TV. Geez.

She's so pretty.

You both have short hair, but...

LEE SUN-HEE

Oh, my God!

Sung by Kim Ji-ae.

You just left your love behind and left

You despicable person

What are you doing this late?

I'm making fried rice tomorrow morning.

I'm prepping in advance.

Where did the ham go?

I bought it today and put it here.

What ham? I'm sure it'd be in the fridge.

There's a different kind of ham that Americans eat.

It's expensive, so I only buy it occasionally...

Did you eat it?

I don't even know what it looks like.

You're not going home?

The dean knows I'm here. Mom is out for a company dinner.

Did Jung-bong leave the temple?

Yeah, today.

Wow, that's amazing.

How could he last there for ten days?

He looks like he likes meat more than anyone else.

He likes the temple food.

Even so, ten days...

You can sleep over.

I can't. I have to wake up early tomorrow.

I'll sleep at home.

Where are you going? Isn't tomorrow your birthday?

Yeah. My mom said she'll make breakfast tomorrow, herself.

Really?

Your mom is going to cook?

Yes. She said she's making me bulgogi and seaweed soup for my birthday.

It's been a few months since she cooked for me.

Does that make any sense?

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Dong-ryong,

something urgent came up, so I'm leaving for work early.

Buy something delicious to eat with your friends!

I love you! From Mom.

JANUARY 15

Let's go inside.

Nobody's home, right?

My mom and dad went to a relative's wedding.

No-eul went with them.

My sister will leave soon.

-Your sister? -She's home?

-No, thanks. -Bye.

It's fine! She won't bite!

We'll just stay out here until she leaves.

It's fine.

We'll be in the bedroom the whole time.

If we bump into her, do 90-degree bows.

Got it?

It's cold.

Wait.

That's Noolung's house, right?

Noolung? Who's that?

Oh. It's not Noolung. It's Baduk.

That's the place, the jewelry store. That's his house, right?

Can you ask him to come out for a bit?

I want to see what he looks like.

We see him often on TV. Let us see him in person.

No. Never.

-Why not? -You can't mess with him.

You can mess with anyone else, but not him.

You will corrupt him.

Taek is our block's treasure that needs protection.

He's at the Go-game Association anyway.

It's cold. Let's go in.

Oh, hey!

Hi.

Hello.

Hanging out at Deok-sun's?

Let's choose him today. Can we hang out together?

Deok-sun, is Bo-ra--

She's not home. She went out early!

This is your place?

It's huge! Wow!

It's as big as Maggie's place! It's like the Global Village at Everland!

My place is...

down there.

I didn't want to bring you here, as I was embarrassed.

But friends shouldn't have secrets.

It was a hard decision for me.

It's not a crime to be poor.

Being ugly is.

You're pretty.

Let's go. I'll make some ramen on a gas cooker.

Do you still use a gas cooker?

You don't know the lives of normal folk, Maggie Cheung!

It's awesome! It heats up quickly too!

I can't stand rich girls.

I'm sorry!

Bye Bo-ra!

Hello.

Hello.

Why are you coming out of my house?

Well...

I have something to say.

To me?

Yeah. Let's talk.

Hello.

What are you doing? Sit.

Oh... okay.

Hurry up and leave!

Hey.

Don't make a mess and play quietly.

As if you're the one who cleans the house.

What did you say?

All right. We'll play quietly.

Mom. It's Dad's birthday tomorrow.

-Yeah. Jung Hwan, let's go outside. -To where?

We got a new car.

What?

I gave your dad 20 million won for his birthday.

Twenty million won?

Yeah. I finally caught that hardware store owner

and got 20 million won.

Oh, that 20 million won?

Your dad always gets gloomy around his birthday,

so I splurged on him this time around.

I told him to buy what he wants.

He got it today and parked outside. He said to come and look.

What did he get?

No way... A Grendizer?

Would that scrooge do that?

I'm not hoping for anything luxurious.

Probably a Sonata,

or a Capital, or a Stella.

That's better than driving that small Pony II.

I doubt it.

You gave him 20 million won.

Right?

Maybe he bought a Grendizer?

Ta-da! Our new car is here!

What's this?

This?

A man's pride!

I got a Pride! What do you think?

It looks new, right?

Wow, it's even a used one.

Get in. I'll drive you around the neighborhood.

You have fun by yourself.

-A group blind date? With whom? -With the guys at Sundeok High.

One of them is my classmate from elementary school. He's good looking.

He's bringing a friend, so there will be two.

Next week, in Donam.

Do they care a lot about looks?

-He said they don't. -Aw, yes!

You will come, right?

No.

Why not? Who knows?

You might meet the man of fate.

What fate?

There's no such thing.

You could fall in love at first sight.

Yeah. How do you know when and how you will meet the man of your life?

Hey. Stop reading your romance novels. Things like that don't happen.

Fine. I'll go by myself.

Let's make it an one-on-one blind date.

Okay, then.

If it goes well, introduce his friends to me.

If it does go well.

By the way, what did he talk to you about earlier?

When?

You know, the scary-looking guy.

Oh, Jung-hwan?

He asked me to go see a movie this weekend.

It's not like that. He's really just a friend!

Friend, my ass.

I'm telling you, he really likes you!

-Want to bet on it? -Hey.

I could tell just by the look in his eyes.

Deok-sun. It's for real this time!

What?

You can check.

How?

Tell him that you're going on a blind date.

What?

If he says, "Okay, go ahead,"

he thinks of you as a friend.

If he says anything like, "Don't do it,"

or asks, "Are you crazy?" or "Do you want to die?",

then he likes you.

What about "Have you gone mad?" That count?

It does! That's not what's important.

His objection is the key here!

But... what if he really objects?

What do you mean? Go out with him.

Is the blind date important?

He might like you!

No! I mean... What do I do if he really likes me?

Why are you asking us that?

That's up to you.

What?

Do you like him?

I don't know.

Then try dating him.

Decide after that.

That would be awkward.

If you don't like that awkwardness, live with us forever.

Check how he feels first.

Don't mess around. Ask him seriously.

I'm 100 percent sure. My hunch is always right.

About the Student Council President at Ssangmun High...

I'm sorry.

I really thought he did.

By the way...

who's the person he likes? Do you know her?

I don't know her. No!

Geez. No need to yell.

Sorry.

DO NOT SLEEP STUDY ROOM

MEN'S SECTION

SUN-WOO

LEE SUN-HEE

Damn it!

Can't go. Go with the others.

Sung Bo-ra.

What are you looking at?

Looking at gum.

I'm going to the study room.

Want me to drop you off in our new car?

No, thank you. It's nearby.

I haven't seen Jung-bong all day. Did he go somewhere?

What's he obsessed with this time?

The arcade.

Again?

A man must go to places like arcades!

Which game?

Galaga?

Exerion? Cabal? Double Dragon?

No.

Bubble Bobble.

BUBBLE BOBBLE FIFTY WON FOR ONE GAME

NO EATING CLOCK TO EXTEND TIME WE WILL KICK YOU OUT

I need to eat the shoes.

I have to speed up!

Nice!

Why are you so surprised?

I'm not.

Going somewhere?

To the study room.

Why there?

You always study at home.

Sun-woo lent me his seat.

He's going to a concert tonight, so he's studying at home this afternoon.

What?

You got something to say?

No.

What concert is he going to?

The Lee Sun-hee Concert?

Yeah. He was really excited.

You really don't have anything to say?

No.

Bye.

Why is she going back inside?

LEE SUN-HEE

Why are you here?

I came here to see Deok-sun, and...

I thought I'd look around.

Are you alone?

What about Dong-ryong and Sun-woo?

Sun-woo didn't come today.

He went home to see the Lee Sun-hee concert.

Wasn't he planning to go with you--

Bo-ra!

So annoying!

LEE SUN-HEE CONCERT 1989

Moo-sung! Have some dinner.

High-cholesterol food isn't good.

So I made some fish. It's good.

Taek said that he'll eat later.

I set the table for him.

Just warm up the soup later.

Okay. Why don't you eat--

Can you even hear that?

Turn up the volume.

Taek won't hear it from his room.

I can hear it fine. It's okay.

Taek has headphones on.

You can raise the volume.

Really?

After you're done eating--

I won't clear the table. I will put push it aside.

Bye.

Okay. Bye.

She's so great at singing...

It will start soon. Please enter.

Excuse me. You have to come in now.

Yes, just a moment.

Hey!

Here.

Why didn't you go to the study room today?

I left the ticket on your desk.

I left you a note,

saying I couldn't make it, so go with your friends.

So I came here

not because I wanted to.

I left ticket at the study room to give back,

you didn't see it, so...

You really get on my nerves.

Don't get me wrong, okay?

You're here. That's good.

You're here. That's good enough.

Let's go.

Hey, wait.

Geez.

What are you doing here?

Oh... I have something to ask you.

You know...

Let's go to my room. It's cold.

Go ahead.

Okay.

What is it?

I'm going on a blind date this week.

A junior from Sundeok High.

His name is Choi Jae-young.

Joey's classmate from elementary school.

Shall I go on the blind date?

Should I?

Good night.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday, dear Dad -Happy birthday, dear Honey

Happy birthday to you

-Blow out the candles. -Okay.

Father.

This is for you.

Wow, look at this. You got a gift?

What is it?

Cups for a couple.

Cups for a couple!

Did Deok-sun pick them out?

Yes. We wouldn't have bought that.

Open it. I want to look.

Later. I'll open it later.

Let's eat.

Yes.

Thanks for the meal.

Oh, President Kim!

Oh, President Sung!

-It's so great to see you! -It's so great to see you!

-It's so great to see you! -It's so great to see you!

Happy birthday, Mister!

Yes. Thank you.

It's strange.

Every year on my birthday, I feel so depressed.

Did you ever get beaten on your birthday?

No.

You were fine in the past. This is a recent development.

Yeah... geez.

Do you miss your deceased mother?

No.

It's been more than ten years.

I don't even remember her face.

Then... have you broken up with a woman on your birthday?

Why? If I say yes, would you bring her here?

Yeah.

If it would make you happy, I would do that.

She can use this room.

In my life, there are no women besides you.

Will you bring me blankets?

GOLDSTAR TELEVISION

Throw this crap out!

We will need it all someday.

Leave it.

Don't throw anything away.

I'll be mad.

Are you not going to eat the cream?

-Give it to me then. -No.

I love cream.

I collect it all...

and eat it all at once.

Then, can you eat a slice in one mouthful?

This time, eat it without getting cream on your mouth.

Hey, hey!

How old are you, betting on food?

Follow me. I have something for you.

No arcade today?

You haven't beaten Bubble Bobble.

Do you play that?

I have the highest score at the arcade.

He can't play games in our neighborhood anymore.

He got into a turf war with some elementary school kids.

You go to Banghak now, right?

Yes.

Banghak?

My friend lives there.

Her name is Maggie Cheung.

She's the richest person in Banghak.

Maggie Cheung?

She looks nothing like her.

In my eyes, she is!

Then Dong-ryong is Leslie Cheung in my eyes!

Hey, friend! Happy birthday!

-Hello. -Where's your father?

Hi.

Hello.

I guess the party is over.

I made chive pancake.

He likes this.

He's feeling a bit down today.

Why on his birthday?

He's so jolly all the other days of the year.

Hello?

Hey, Dong-ryong.

For some strange reason, he's always gloomy on his birthday.

I don't know why either.

What? You ran away?

Where are you now?

You crazy bastard! Geez.

Yeah.

Okay. Don't go anywhere.

I said okay.

I won't tell anyone.

Stay put.

I'm leaving now.

Dong-ryong ran away?

Yeah. He said he left yesterday morning.

He's at Daecheon Beach now.

-Daecheon? -Where is that?

-On the western shore. -Right?

He ran out of money. He wants me to come alone.

He said not to tell his mom or dad, no matter what.

He said if his parents come, he'll just run away.

Why would such a good kid do this?

He's not that type of kid.

I know. He's not like my kids.

How would we know family issues?

Why don't you go and convince him to come home?

We'll just pretend we don't know anything.

Okay. I'll go with the other kids.

You have to take an adult with you!

You're coming too?

Don't you have a match today?

Lower your head! I can't see anything!

-Why are you speaking to Taek like that? -Don't do that to Taek.

Geez... you all treasure him so much.

His Japan match got canceled. It's his first break in a while.

Let's go. What if he runs off somewhere else?

When I catch that bastard, I'll rip him apart!

Damn it...

Let's go catch Dong-ryong!

You brought some tapes, right?

Music, get ready,

and start!

Let's music!

It's not "Let's mu--."

Whatever.

Good choice, Sun-woo.

You know this, right, Taek?

Of course. It's by Lee Moon-sae. Right?

How did you know? Do you know the title?

The title?

That... burning sunset?

-Hey! That's not it. -What was that?

Hey! Shut it!

I love you

You are the only one in this world

I should say it aloud

but the flaming red sky continues to burn with no answers

Be quiet!

Cheers!

Jung-hwan. Where is Dong-ryong now?

He says he's with Yun Fat.

What? Who?

Chow Yun Fat... I don't know.

He just keeps talking nonsense.

I LOVE YOU, MILKIS!

VACANCY

Will 1,000 won be enough?

Take 10,000 won.

I love you, Mother!

Now you're doing this instead of your dad?

Geez. What a life!

Instead of me?

I'm good, too.

I love you, sweet potato!

I guess he feels a bit better now.

No.

I feel more depressed.

Life is in vain.

Why did you need that money?

Going to the arcade again?

50 WON PER ROUND

NO TWO-PLAYER GAMES

Watch yourselves! Here you go!

Dang it!

I'm sorry.

No, I'm not drunk!

Woo, volleyball!

Ball!

My leg.

It's just that...

Soju just fell into the sand.

I'll have to take it.

Mister! Please, let me go.

I was just too hungry.

I'm sorry.

Are you taking me to jail?

Let me go!

Hey, open the door!

Please, open the door!

Geez...

Open the door!

-Hey! Shut your mouth! -Okay.

How many people should suffer because of you?

You haven't done anything right. What's all the fuss?

-Shut your mouth. -Yes.

Make a fuss again! I won't let it go.

Let's go.

What do we do?

What?

There's six of us.

We won't all fit.

So why did you all have to come?

We'll leave one.

What?

You are not little kids.

One of you can take the bus back.

Sounds good. How about two, instead of one?

Who will be left behind?

That kid there having snacks,

and the kid stealing them.

You eat them.

Want one?

Okay, fine.

Here.

What did you say Taek's IQ was?

139.

Isn't it 99?

That's Deok-sun's IQ.

Geez.

Don't.

Bring all of those back, as they were.

This can be handed down later.

Geez. Unbelievable... Really.

Mi-ran.

He even has Jung-bong's announcement slips from elementary school?

He has the pacifier Jung-hwan used when he was a year old.

He wouldn't throw anything away.

Old habits of saving don't die.

I thought so too, but that's not it.

That's just how he is.

Isn't it his birthday? Aren't you eating out tonight?

Are you going to a fancy place?

Not fancy!

He's not in the mood for that.

That's strange.

What's the reason?

I don't know.

He doesn't know, either. No one knows.

He's such a happy-go-lucky joker most of the time.

Why is he as quiet as a clam on his birthday?

Maybe his birthday reminds him of someone?

Like his first love?

If so, I would bring her over immediately.

I've had him long enough.

She can have him.

Is Mr. Choi doing okay?

Yes, he's gotten a lot better!

Still, they said he should watch what he eats for a while.

I make rice and soup without much salt.

My, it must be nice having a hometown friend.

You take such good care of him.

Take this chance to live together.

What?

What's the issue?

Both of your kids are grown up and you understand each other.

Oh, yeah. Where's Jin-ju?

Gimhae.

Why do you live so complicated, sending her here and there?

Just live together.

Don't say that!

As I go to his place all the time,

I'm already worried what the neighbors think of me.

I'm concerned about Sun-woo too.

Why bother, if you two like each other?

What are you saying?

Look at her being all serious.

She really has feelings for him.

Geez... really!

Fine. Open another beer.

I'm going to drink and then throw out all that garbage.

Give me your wallet.

Want to eat some grilled sirloin?

I'll buy!

It's fine. You can eat it.

Just eat it, and don't burn it.

Then, I can block you like this.

Then I'll block you off here.

Then, here.

Then I'll place mine here.

He really is something, isn't he?

Mine are all dead.

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

Get over here.

I'm sorry.

Quick.

Let's get up.

The match isn't over yet.

Hey. You're too good to play here.

But they asked me to...

Shut it!

Hurry up.

MILK 150 WON

REGULAR COFFEE 120 WON

Here.

Oh, my goodness!

Hey! Are you okay?

Seriously.

This tastes good.

I made it myself.

Really?

No!

What are you going to do?

How will you survive in this cruel, harsh world?

The world isn't such a simple place.

Be clear about what you want and what you don't want.

Do you know how many scammers are out there?

You're a pushover. You'll get scammed ten times in one day.

Don't laugh!

Leaving already?

We still have time before the bus gets here.

We came all the way here. We can't just leave.

It's cold!

It's not cold! Take yours off too.

No. It's cold.

It's not cold! Hurry up and take them off!

You call yourself a man? Geez!

Deok-sun!

I'm sorry!

I'm really sorry.

I've had a bit too much drink.

I'm sorry!

Oh. You are a man!

Of course I'm a man, not a woman.

Take them off then.

Wait!

Wait! Deok-sun!

-Wait! -Get over here!

Okay, wait.

Hey!

-It's cold! -Okay, get up!

Okay! Okay!

Come on, Deok-sun!

What is this?

Want to go out for dinner?

The kids will be home late.

Let's just eat at home. I'm feeling lazy.

Do you want sujebi? I think it'll rain.

Sounds good.

Isn't it about time for Jung-bong to come back?

Jung-hwan will be a bit late.

He won't come soon. He's crazy for those arcade games.

I'll go make the dough.

Level 100.

I beat it!

Diligence does not betray you!

Let's play again from the beginning!

Stop it already!

Darn it.

Stop right there!

Go that way.

Come with me.

Hey.

I think I'll be a bit late.

I just met the man of my destiny!

The moment I saw him, sparks ran through my body!

He's younger than me, too!

Destiny, my ass.

Wait ten minutes.

I'll be right there.

What destiny?

I don't like younger guys.

Where did that bastard go?

Where the hell did he go?

We've met before, right?

Excuse me?

Jungui Girls' High?

No.

Yeonggwang Girls' High?

No. Ssangmun Girls' High.

I know someone who goes there!

A girl named Sung Deok-sun.

She lives downstairs from us.

Do you not know her?

She's my best friend.

So you know her?

What a coincidence...

Is this...

destiny?

The rain stopped.

Jung-hwan. Make sure you see that he gets into his house.

Yes, ma'am.

Why did you run away?

Isn't it a bit too soon to be asking me that?

Why did you run away?

Because of the dean?

Did he hit you?

Because of Chief Jo.

Your mom?

Your mother, Queen of Daehan Insurance for five consecutive years running?

Seven consecutive years.

What did she do?

My mom only cares about money.

She has to know her kid is precious.

It's not new.

She's been that way a long time.

My birthday was yesterday.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

She promised to make me breakfast.

I know.

But she just left money.

That's awesome. Shouldn't you thank her?

You don't know anything. Shut it.

For my mom...

clients are more important than her kid.

Do you know what my wish is?

What?

There's one food my mom makes really good.

Jajjaroni?

Can she... cook, at all?

What's that food?

Seaweed soup.

As you guys know,

both Chief Jo and the dean have been working since I was little.

So I've had to buy my meals with my brothers.

Or go to your home to eat.

But on my birthday,

at least for that day,

she probably was sorry.

So she'd make me seaweed soup with huge chunks of beef.

Since she became the Queen of Insurance or whatever,

I haven't had her seaweed soup.

I thought I'd be getting seaweed soup this year.

This is what I get.

Jung-hwan, can I sleep over at your house?

I really don't want to go home.

Go home though. They'll be worried.

Yeah. I'm sure your mom and dad probably couldn't get any sleep last night.

You think so?

Hey. Hurry up and go home.

Are you at an age to require your parents' attention?

Why are you complaining?

What brand of shoes are you wearing?

LA Gear, right?

Sung Deok-sun has been wearing Artis shoes for three years.

You have a Sergio Valente coat.

And your jeans are from Jordache.

At your age, parents with money are better than parents with kindness.

Got it?

So stop messing around and go home.

If you're discontented, don't run away from home.

Just get angry.

Don't hold it in.

They won't know unless you tell them. How are they supposed to know?

Your mom and dad are so busy.

Don't expect them to care about your feelings.

First, go home and apologize.

If things don't get better, run away again.

Run... away again?

It's raining again!

Go home now! I'm going home too!

Run away from home again?

Go in now!

If you come with me, maybe he won't hit me too much.

Then I'll get a beating, too. Go in.

Jung-hwan. From this point on, I'm walking alone.

Mom. I'm sor--

Don't be so late. What time is it now?

Director!

How could you decide without even telling me?

No, it's not that...

Never mind! I'll talk to you at work tomorrow!

Hey.

Why didn't you come home last night?

If you like your friends that much, go and live with them!

Got that?

Dong-ryong.

Never mind.

Damn it.

Don't you say a word.

I'm going to eat dinner and go back to the study room.

I'll study there until about 1:00 a.m.

So it'll be about 1:15 a.m. when I get home.

What does that have to do with me?

I'm just saying.

Still, just in case,

I'll wait in front of your house for ten minutes.

Are you crazy?

Why would you wait?

I can do what I want.

Don't worry about it.

Hey!

Come. Let's have chicken.

Chicken?

My mom ordered chicken for my dad's birthday.

Have dinner here. Your mom knows about it.

What about Taek?

He came a while ago.

Does Bo-ra keep a turtle in her car?

Why are you here?

You didn't go home?

-He ran away from home again. -What?

My family has no answer.

I'm just going to eat this and go back.

Come to think of it, they don't even know I ran away.

So why should I run away?

-Is it good? -Thank you!

Thank you for the food!

Have some too, Ma'am.

We ordered ten for the whole neighborhood.

Everyone is eating it right now.

My dad, too?

Of course. Gil-dong-- I mean, Bonghw--

Your dad is having some, too. Sun-woo's mom is taking care of him.

Please tell Mr. Kim I said happy birthday.

I will. Eat up!

Okay!

My.

Will chicken be good enough for your birthday?

I wish my birthday would be over.

Is it because of the fried food? It's been in a while...

Jung-bong. Carry this.

Excuse me?

Geez!

Throw this away.

Geez!

A person should know how to throw things out too!

Don't you dare take after your father in this.

Geez.

Mother, what's this?

It was here!

-What? -Are you out of your mind?

You threw Taek into the ocean?

I didn't! I just wet his feet a bit.

Don't do that to Taek.

You did this to his forehead, too.

I did?

Look at her pretending.

Were we eight years old? Or nine?

Nine.

Yeah, nine.

You pinned him onto the cement while wrestling.

I did? No way.

Wow, you have no shame.

Taek, didn't you get four stitches?

That's attempted murder!

He became weird after that!

Weird?

He got smarter to become a Go-game genius.

Thanks to me.

Thanks to you?

He was good at it since he was eight.

If not for you, he could have gone pro faster.

Yeah. Take responsibility.

Yes, for the rest of his life.

Okay. I will.

I'd be happy to.

How lucky!

Are you crazy? What did Taek do wrong?

Look at him smiling!

Do you like Deok-sun?

No.

You two suit each other.

Good luck.

What's with you guys? Are you all crazy?

Taek. This kind of girl is better for you. You have to struggle a bit at least.

Hey.

I'm going to the bathroom.

You were stuffing your face. Are you going to poop?

Did it come out already?

What do you think of her?

She's not bad, right?

He'd have to be crazy! So many girls like him.

I like her.

Deok-sun...

You like her as a woman?

For real?

Yes.

I like Deok-sun.

I like her, not as a friend,

but as a woman.

-Oh, my God! -Seriously?

-Really? -What are you saying?

Did you get a serious injury at the beach?

-Seriously? -For real?

What's this, all of a sudden?

You consider Deok-sun a woman?

Wow... oh, my goodness!

Are you serious?

You're not messing around, are you? With us?

I can't believe you consider Deok-sun a woman.

What are you saying?

Liking Deok-sun as a woman...

I can't believe you consider Deok-sun a woman!

JUNG-BONG NINE YEARS OLD JUNG-HWAN THREE YEARS OLD

Our Jung-bong did such a great job!

You're so good!

Jung-bong could become a singer, right?

Oh, my child! You're so good!

He'll save the family.

You don't remember, right?

I do. I was nine years old.

Next, our Jung-hwan!

Let's try!

Jung-hwan, give it a try!

Jung-hwan was three years old then.

Okay, Jung-hwan! Start!

Life is like a traveler's path...

Jung-hwan was three years old then.

Where do we come from?

Jung-hwan is so good! Look at him singing!

Jung-hwan was so cute then.

I don't know what happened to him.

Isn't that right?

You wander as you go

What's wrong, honey?

Do your young boys' voices make you want to cry?

My mom's voice.

Good job, my son!

It's my mom's voice.

Let's listen to you.

-Seong-gyun. -What?

Sing a song.

I want to hear.

No, Mom!

I'm not a kid.

Geez.

Yeah. This was probably about a year before she passed away.

Even if you are 60 or 70,

you'll always be a kid to me.

Also, it's your birthday!

Sing a song, okay?

No, Mom.

Come on.

What? My mom should sing me a song on my birthday, not me.

Mom, you sing me one.

Quit it.

Hey, you know how hard I worked to get you out?

You can't even sing a song for your mom? Geez.

Come on. Sing a song!

-Come on, just do it! -No!

Being born was hard for me too.

-Geez. -You sing one, Mom.

It's been a long time since I've heard you sing.

You sing, honey.

Come on. Just sing one. Stop saying no.

What's with you today?

No more! The end!

Mother-in-law, please sing us a song, then.

It's been so long since I've sung...

You're great.

I'm not good.

The cassette is still recording.

Hurry up and sing something!

-Okay. -Come on, Seong-gyun!

Why are you doing this to me?

Life is like a traveler's path

There you go.

Where do we come from?

Where do we go?

As the clouds float away

You wander as you go

Let's not get attached

Let's not have any regrets

Life is like a traveler's path

As the clouds float away

Life floats away aimlessly

I'm sorry. The beef bone soup took a while.

You must be hungry.

Eat.

-Bye. -Eat before you go.

Have dinner before you go.

Oh... no.

I have to make dinner for Sun-woo.

All the kids are at Jung-hwan's, having chicken.

What are you saying?

Have dinner.

I'm sick of eating alone.

Hurry up and sit!

It'll all get cold.

Let's eat.

SINGING, FIVE-YEAR-OLD

Mi-ran.

Yes?

I know the reason now.

The reason that I always get depressed on my birthday...

I think I know now.

It's because of your mom, right?

Yeah.

I guess I was always reminded of my mom.

I thought that wasn't it...

but I guess I was thinking about my mom, after all.

I wish I could give her a call.

I want to call her,

since it's my birthday...

There's no one I can call.

Mi-ran.

Yes?

I miss my mom so much.

I want to see my mom...

so much.

Who did you meet?

Mr. Kim Jung-bong?

He said he lived in the house above yours.

Yeah, that's true.

How did you meet him?

I saw him outside my house today.

Like fate.

What?

Deok-sun. I fell for him at first sight.

I've decided to believe in destiny now.

Are you talking about the Jung-bong I know?

He's fat and has a chubby face.

Yeah. He's a bit chubby, and has a cute face.

Oh, yeah. Did you tell him?

What did he say?

Huh?

Did he tell you to go?

He said not to, right?

I don't know. It's a secret.

What is it?

I'm going on a blind date this week.

A junior from Sundeok High.

His name is Choi Jae-young.

Joey's classmate from elementary school.

Shall I go on the blind date?

Should I?

Don't go.

Don't go on the blind date.

Were you waiting for me, Bo-ra?

Yeah.

I have something to tell you.

Uh... next time.

It's too late.

No. I'm going to tell you now.

Listen carefully.

You really know how to inconvenience someone.

You're so clingy

and keep appearing in front of me.

But... you're doing that

because of me, I think.

I think I did something to give you hope.

Okay. Let's date.

I like you too.

Don't tell your mom.

And if you tell your friends, we're done!

Got that?

Bo-ra.

What?

Can I kiss you?

No!

Good night, Bo-ra!

You're so loud. Shut it!

Good night!

-Hi, Soo-yeon! -Welcome, Soo-yeon!

Soo-yeon. Give me your laundry.

Soo-yeon.

Who's Soo-yeon?

I heard that you're quite good, Mr. Ryu.

You played with Mr. Ryu?

You have to stay alert.

There will be a huge fight tonight.

I won't stand for this!

-Honey, please. -Please, just--

Let go!

-It's not over until it's over, right? -Excuse me?

Excuse me?

If Sun-woo finds out, he'll be angry.

How will he find out?

Do I need to tell you all that?

-That's good! -It is!

I was hoping for a new life at this age...

Figures.

We shouldn't have seen the shaman.

If she hadn't told her about great luck, we wouldn't have had such hopes.

Why isn't Deok-sun coming back?

She must be eating with Taek.

What about you, Jung-hwan?

You're going, right?

I can't.

Bo-ra.

Can I kiss you?

Jung-hwan.
