Original subtitles

What's that sound?

Wait, what's that sound?

The door is locked!

Why would she lock the door? What are we, prisoners?

Open the door! Lady, open this door!

Lady, why don't you beat me instead?

Open this door!

Listen, I'm so sorry

for everything.

You got beaten up because of me.

Your mother is extremely wild. Very different from her daughter.

At least she left us with blankets.

So?

We can't sleep here!

We have no choice.

My mom will not open the door no matter what we do.

Mr. Tak!

Mr. Tak!

There's a door!

Dang, It's locked.

This one's locked, too. Maybe that's open.

Please be careful.

Can you go out through there?

What, do you want me to dig a hole with a spoon instead?

This is the only way!

Stay over there, you're getting in the way.

-Okay. -Stand back.

Be careful, please be careful.

This is nonsense!

Why didn't you tell me?

About the baby.

You had a chance to tell me.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't bring myself to tell you.

Here.

You're hungry, aren't you?

-Do you want some seaweed? -Seaweed?

You eat seaweed raw like that?

You haven't eaten anything.

People tend to get more upset when hungry.

-At least quell your hunger. -Forget it.

How do you expect me to eat that?

Well, since you insist, I'll try one.

What is this?

There's nothing right with this sorry excuse of a town..

How is it? Not too bad, right?

I'm eating out of necessity, not because I enjoy it!

Give me some more.

We have to survive.

You're not very picky with your food.

I thought all rich people had particular taste.

Yeah, I'm eating like I'm Tarzan in the jungle, without any proper food.

We have to survive. This is disgusting.

Do you want to try this too?

What's this? Snails or something?

What is this?

Is it fish eye?

It's really chewy.

Do you want me to dig you out another one?

My boss hates missing meals.

Can you make me some rice balls or something so I can give it to him?

Missing one meal won't kill him.

There's plenty to eat inside the storage anyways.

Then lock me up with the president as well!

Why do you want to interfere?

Do you like my Mi-yeong as well?

-I'd prefer her older sister here... -Oh my, me?

No, I mean...

You're so obtuse.

We have to lock them together in order for them to settle things.

Judging from what I've seen, they don't seem to hate one another.

Goodness.

You think someone would appreciate this?

I bet you couldn't even give this to someone.

What's this?

WISH JAR KIM MI-YEONG

Wish Jar?

What's that?

-No, give that back! -Just a second! I want to see this.

-What's the big deal anyway? -You can't!

-Why not? -It's nothing fun.

If it's not, I'll give it back to you.

You can't look at that.

Let me see what the big deal is about.

I wish my friends would return what they've borrowed.

Why couldn't you tell your friends to give it back? Did they bully you?

I'd feel bad.

What if they can't return it because they lost it?

What's this?

I wish my friends would say thank you at least once when I do favors for them.

Did you go through some trauma as a child?

This is severe.

-Really severe. -Stop reading it.

-Come on. -I told you it's no fun.

I'll read one more. Last one.

Last one.

"I wish my father is in a good place in heaven."

When did your father pass away?

He died in a boat accident when I was young.

I put it in the wish jar because I missed him.

I guess your situation is similar to mine.

I lost both of my parents in a car accident.

Don't worry too much.

I've given it some thought,

and I've decided to go to the hospital tomorrow.

-No, you-- -You already

have someone that you want to marry.

It's not realistic to raise this baby.

Even if I'm to raise it myself,

it will only end up interfering with your marriage.

The child will become...

a burden to you.

I don't want this child to be born unwanted.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mi-yeong.

I'm...

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

It's my fault for going into your room.

Let me go to the hospital with you tomorrow.

I may not be able to take responsibility

but I won't let a woman do this alone.

I can go alone.

Wait a moment.

Lie down.

-Okay. -Lie down.

And...

Cover yourself with this.

-I'm okay. -It's fine.

I'm going with you tomorrow, so don't try anything.

Understand? I won't let you go alone.

Lie down, go on.

-Goodnight. -Goodnight.

Goodnight.

You know, I think it's pretty amazing.

We've met four times but spent two nights together.

Life really is unpredictable.

If we met under different circumstances,

we would have called this fate.

You little mosquito!

I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!

Mi-yeong!

I'm going to the hospital. Don't worry about me.

I'll be strong.

Mi-yeong!

I was about to wake you up.

Where's the hospital?

-The OB-GYN! -What for?

Look at this.

What's this?

I put the two of you together only to have her abort the child?

We still have time to catch up with her.

If she went through with this, I'll break her legs for sure!

So where is it?

-Hurry, tell me! -But the first ferry already set sail!

Then we'll make one! We have to build a boat!

Follow me.

-Get up, now! -What? What's going on?

What's this? Nothing's here!

-Did she pick up? -The number you have dialed...

-What is it? -Mi-yeong's not answering her phone.

She's going to make a huge mistake!

-This fool. -Do we really have to build a boat?

-Boat! -Here!

Mr. Park!

-Mr. Park! -Right here!

Here, Mr. Park!

I'm coming!

What would they do without me?

I'm coming! Just wait.

Hurry up! Hurry!

OB-GYN

Yeah, I'm making the right decision.

I'm so excited.

I can't wait.

Do I have to wait long? How much longer will it be?

Please, be patient. They're changing shifts right now.

I understand. Please let me know as soon as she's done.

Excuse me.

I'm here for an operation.

I'm here to get an operation.

I can't hear you. You're here for what?

I'm here

to get that operation...

Is that you?

We met at the church.

Don't you remember me?

Oh, Father!

How are you?

Wait.

How are we going to find her?

You said there are three hospitals nearby, right?

One at the three-way street, one next to the market,

-and one downtown. -Then we should split up.

I'll go with Mr. Tak.

Mi-yeong's mother and sisters can go together.

Okay.

And you two,

-as you guys work well together. -Sure.

We'll go to the furthest one,

so whoever finds her first, call us, all right?

Let's go!

-Good luck. -Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I only have bad news to tell you every time we meet.

Not at all.

All I did was listen.

You're the one suffering through it.

But Father, what brings you here?

I'm here to meet someone dear to me but I'm nervous.

I really want to make a good impression.

You look fine right now.

Be confident.

I wish I can be helpful to you too,

but all I can do is advise you to reconsider.

You won't be able to turn back if you regret your decision later.

Father, I...

I have a request.

Will you pray with me?

What?

Pray?

To be honest, I'm not...

Okay, sure. I guess it's the least I can do.

Sometimes I get confused.

Prayer comes from the heart, so...

Be comfortable. Like when you were in the church.

Kim Mi-yeong!

Kim Mi-yeong!

-Please show mercy to this child who... -Kim Mi-yeong!

-Kim Mi-yeong! -met such a bad mother.

Kim Mi-yeong!

And please send them to a good place.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect my baby.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you for your help.

I'm glad I was of help.

I'll see you next time, I suppose.

Okay.

Father.

Don't be nervous, and be confident!

Be strong!

Be strong!

Sir!

Sir! Wait for me!

Sir!

Kim Mi-yeong!

Kim Mi-yeong.

Kim Mi-yeong!

Have you seen a Kim Mi-yeong?

Is there a patient by the name of Kim Mi-yeong here?

-She has round eyes and pale skin. -One moment.

But why are you going after her?

Are you going to have the child?

No woman deserves to be here alone.

Are you okay?

Does it hurt?

I hate you!

I'm so sorry.

I'm really sorry.

-I'm sorry. -It's over between us!

Yes, she's here.

Ms Kim Mi-yeong is currently under examination.

Lie down comfortably.

Lie still, and I'll take care of the rest.

There it is.

Let's see.

Okay.

There it is.

It's still early, so it's a bit hard to see.

The baby is right here

but it's only about 0.2 cm in length.

It's 0.2 cm...

It's 0.2 cm?

Smaller than you thought, isn't it?

But even at this stage,

they're said to be able to understand what their parents are saying.

Who are you? Who are you and...

I am...

I'm...

I'm the baby's father.

I see.

What's this sound?

It's the sound of the child's heartbeat.

Line 14 of our health law outlines the conditions

where abortion is justified.

Were you unconscious and under the influence of alcohol or drugs

when the consummation took place?

Yes.

Is she telling the truth?

Yes.

This is the consent form.

All we need now is your signature.

Oh, is this...

The child will become...

An embryo is a living thing, too.

a burden to you.

How can you just...

It has fingers and toes, too.

I don't want this child to be born unwanted.

Peekaboo.

Oh my goodness.

Why are you giving this to me?

Where are you going now?

Don't be nervous and be calm.

We're administering general anesthesia now.

Wait!

No, stop!

Mi-yeong, get up now!

-What do you think you're doing? -I'm sorry, Doctor.

Get this off!

-Take it off her. -Off now!

I'm so sorry.

Once they hear the heartbeat, they can't go through with it.

What do you plan to do now?

I don't know yet.

But this, this isn't it. It's not right.

Then what...

Mi-yeong's over there!

Mi-yeong!

Why you!

You crazy girl!

Do you realize what you've done?

Wait. Let's talk about this.

-She's really weak right now. -Let go of me!

Talking won't solve anything! What happened to the child?

-The child-- -Why couldn't you stop her?

-And you call yourself a man? -Stop.

It's the Chairwoman's car!

-What? -Grandmother?

You despicable jerk. Why didn't you stop her?

You cruel punk!

You call yourself a human being? You cruel jerk!

Do you know how cruel you are?

-You murderer! -Listen to me for a moment!

You little brat...

Wait a minute!

Listen to what I have to say! Why won't anyone listen to me?

Grandmother!

Mi-yeong's mother!

-What? -The child...

The child is...

The child is safe! It's fine!

It's safe? It's safe!

The child is safe!

Thank goodness.

And Mi-yeong,

I made a rather selfish decision,

but I hope you'll agree with me.

Pardon?

I...

I...

What is it? You what?

Think of this as your living room, and let it out.

You what?

I'm going to have this child.

Chairwoman!

That's my boy.

So does that mean you will marry my Mi-yeong?

No, I...

Why does it translate to that?

I was talking about the child.

I didn't say a word about Mi-yeong.

So I can't marry her.

Then what are you saying?

You won't marry her, but you'll keep the child?

So you want my Mi-yeong to give birth and you'll abandon her?

Your description is a bit harsh. That's not what I meant.

When the baby's born,

I'll be sure to give it the best life that money can buy!

-Right, Mr. Tak? -Yes, sir.

Just be quiet.

You're so shameless!

You think my daughter is your mistress? What do you take us for!

He didn't mean that.

In my eyes, you are my in-laws

and Mi-yeong is my granddaughter-in-law

and the child she's carrying is my great grandson.

I've made my decision. I will make this marriage happen.

Do you have anything to say about this?

That weasel seems to have an opinion, so I'm sure you do as well.

I think this marriage would be realistically impossible.

What? Have you lost your mind?

We made a baby by accident, not because of love.

Marriage requires love.

That's exactly what I was trying to say!

She took the words right out of my mouth!

-Keep your mouth shut, you idiot! -I've heard enough.

She's made her decision.

End of discussion.

Please take your rude grandson and go home.

-I'll take care of my daughter. -Oh my, no! Don't!

That won't do! Mi-yeong is my granddaughter-in-law now.

Wait!

Mi-yeong!

Go ahead and marry him!

President, Chairwoman.

Once she joins your family, we all become in-laws!

Then you'll return our factory back to us, right?

Without the soap factory, we'll starve to death!

Mi-yeong, please save us.

Mi-yeong, help us.

It all depends on your decision!

That's enough! Stop humiliating yourselves!

We may have sold our land and our factory,

but we still have our pride!

Stop begging this instant!

Well, you still have your boat to fall back on.

Without the factory, we have nothing left!

Mi-yeong, give it some thought.

-Our lives are in your hands. -I said stop it!

Has everyone decided to ignore me now?

-What's with you all of a sudden? -Pride!

-We must maintain our pride! -Enough!

She's my daughter! Not yours, or this island's!

As you can see, she's not very pretty, nor does she have a nice body.

And was she smart in school?

No way!

-Her report cards were dismal. -Mom,

why are you talking about that right now?

She was always last place in Math.

She was never good at arithmetic,

but she was never calculating.

She could never throw things away, so her room was always messy

but she never threw away her friendship with others!

She never listens to me when I tell her to toughen up

but she always helps strangers that ask her for something!

How dare you place this responsibility on my daughter?

Who do you all think you are?

How dare you take advantage of my daughter!

Marriage is for life.

But we don't even know each other.

Even if we have the child,

marriage is a different matter.

You're so dull. You don't know what's good for you!

Do you even know what you just said?

First, you give birth to the child and hand it over to them.

-That makes you a woman with a past! -Right!

Second, you give birth to it and raise it yourself.

-That makes you an unmarried mother. -Right.

You still don't want to marry him?

Even so, can you imagine how he must feel right now?

I don't want to force him to do anything.

Let me ask you one thing.

Are you sure that Geon pulled you out of surgery?

Yeah.

At least he has a conscience.

Think carefully.

It's fine if the father wasn't around, but he's right there.

So why should you have to live alone?

That's you being selfish, aren't you?

Mi-yeong.

Let's talk.

Yes.

He's manly.

He'll make a hot husband!

Do you have any wish to marry me?

You're a good person

and I know you'll be a good father to the child.

But you have someone you love.

And I know how much you love her.

I don't want a marriage that puts you in misery.

I'm no longer worthy of Se-ra anymore.

And we may have made a mistake,

but the fact that the baby is ours will not change.

I'm not exactly a great person

but I wish to be a great father to the child.

Are you saying...

It's also true that Se-ra's still the only one for me.

So, it's not like I can promise that my heart will go to you.

But I can promise you one thing.

I'll be a great father to our child.

If you can accept this...

then let's get married.

I want to be a good mother to this child as well.

Okay.

Put the chairs over here!

Mi-ja, are you okay?

Honey!

You look so dashing!

I look good in a suit.

Put those chairs right over here!

Mi-sook, you are here!

You look fashionable in red today.

In this season of summer, we join these two individuals...

I don't know if she's ready yet.

Are you ready?

-Mom. -Here.

Hey, what's this?

Mom.

Don't you think this is going too fast?

Would you rather get married when your stomach's as big as a mountain?

You should be enjoying newlywed shopping and a honeymoon,

but what can we do now?

That's not a problem!

After she gives birth to the baby, we'll have a proper wedding!

We couldn't prepare gifts for the in-laws because we didn't have time.

-I'll prepare for the next one then! -Forget that!

I'm just happy for the greatest gift of all standing here before me!

MY GEON

Hello?

Hello?

Geon?

Is that you, Geon? That's you, isn't it?

Yes, it's me.

Wait, don't hang up.

Se-ra!

Where are you going, we're starting soon!

Se-ra...

Geon.

I have something to tell you.

Do you know how long I've waited for your call?

You have no idea.

I didn't know waiting could be this horrible.

I...

I made a big mistake.

Yes, you did.

You made me wait way too long for your call.

Though I can hardly blame you.

Still, don't do this again to me.

And I'm sorry I ruined your proposal.

You don't have to be sorry.

I'm more sorry.

Then we're even, okay?

No more fighting, okay?

What would I do without you? Geon.

You called me on my special day.

I think someone is looking for you. What's the occasion?

It's my first performance tonight.

My first performance as the principal dancer.

I see.

I was so nervous that I'd screw up.

But now that I've heard your voice, I think I'll be okay.

Se-ra, have a great performance.

Geon, thanks for calling.

I love you.

-I'll call you later. -Se--

Se-ra.

Let's welcome the groom!

Applause!

He's handsome!

Brother!

My Brother-in-law looks good.

Brother!

You look really great!

Here comes the bride.

Applause!

She's pretty!

-Beautiful! -Yeah.

Beautiful.

Mi-yeong!

Mi-yeong, you look beautiful!

Mi-yeong!

So pretty!

Now, the bride and groom will exchange wedding vows.

Do you, Kim Mi-yeong

take Lee Geon as your lawfully-wedded husband,

to have and to hold, for better or worse,

in sickness or in health, until death do you part?

I do.

Groom Lee Geon, do you swear the same?

I do.

I can't hear you.

I do!

He has responded.

Did everyone hear that?

Yes, we heard!

They will now exchange rings.

This is your father's ring.

Applause!

Everyone applause!

-My ring! -I did well, didn't I?

I'm about to propose with this ring.

It's bad luck to be on another woman's finger!

Applause!

Spend a couple of nights here before you come back.

I'll take care of things at the company.

No, it's alright.

Take him with you.

We know you're running a huge company, so we understand.

And this wedding was out of the blue, too.

A moment, if you can, Geon.

Do you know what will happen if you mistreat my daughter?

Instead of a wooden spoon, I'll come at you with a baseball bat.

Understand?

Yes, I understand.

It hurts.

My dear Mi-yeong.

Come join us after a couple of days.

You're sending your youngest daughter away, that's got to be a bit sad for you.

I'll prepare your new room in the meantime.

Does that sound good?

-Yes, I'll do that. -Okay then.

Goodbye.

Okay. Goodbye.

Bye now.

I'll see you later.

President Lee! Wait!

Come here.

I need to catch my breath.

Thank you for ensuring everyone's job at the factory.

So I have a special gift for you.

I heard that the men of your family suffer in the lower half.

That's nonsense! Where did you hear that?

Our family men are all above average!

Then this will take you to another level!

As long as you have this.

-What is this? -Open it when you get back to Seoul.

I didn't want to brag or boast about all this, but

you know that I basically made this marriage happen!

This is only made on our island. It's as special as our algae soap!

-We developed it. -Right.

-Thanks to this, you and Mi-yeong-- -Hey, be quiet! Go on now.

Don't keep the Chairwoman waiting. Go on.

Where's that Mr. Tak? Why isn't he with his employer?

-Oh, there. -It's funny.

I'd never thought that the ocean would look so sad from the pier.

Anything with the word terminal in it is sad.

Bus terminals, airport terminals, and ferry terminals.

And you, Mr. Tak.

Mi-sook, I don't know when we'll meet again

but please take care of yourself until then.

You too, Director.

-Mi-sook. -Mr. Tak!

Yes, what is it?

I'm right here!

-Here, take this. -Okay. What's this?

-Hold onto it. We have to say bye. -I see.

-Goodbye! -Goodbye!

-Goodbye! -Goodbye!

Mi-sook, take care!

-Very good! -Goodbye!

Goodbye!

Very good!

KIM HEE-WON

So your name was Kim Mi-yeong when you were young?

Yes. That I am certain.

My brother used to call me by that name.

Do you remember this picture? It's at the zoo.

I don't know about this picture

but I do remember going to the zoo with my brother.

I heard that you have a burn mark. Would you mind if I take a look at it?

Do you remember how you got it?

Of course. I think it was when I was ten.

I was at the orphanage when a pot fell off the stove onto me.

My sister was burnt when she was four years old.

I was hoping you'd be my brother.

-Honey. -Are you alright?

What about our baby?

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect my baby.

I'm so sorry.

Look at the stars, Mr. Tak!

Your wife is looking down on us from there.

-Madam, how are you? -How do you do?

Hello!

-How do you do? -How do you do?

Sir, I was surprised that it was Ms. Mi-yeong

instead of Ms Se-ra.

But I'm so happy for you

since you've found a wife and a child!

Everyone's happy.

My grandmother's happy, Mi-yeong's mother is happy...

You're happy too.

But all I can do is laugh about it!

I can only laugh!

Hey, listen...

You can't talk to me that way.

I'm sorry.

But, what attracted you to your wife?

She is the polar opposite of Se-ra.

You have such a variety of taste in women.

Mr. Tak, what do you mean by attracted?

Well...

What attraction?

It was a mistake.

By the way, aren't you going to open this?

I though Mr. Park asked you to open it once we got to Seoul.

You can have that.

I hate that man's guts!

You take it.

What is this?

Just what is this?

-"Hot, Joa-gra"? -Joa-gra?

"Just one drink,

-and you'll be Superman for the night." -Superman!

"Three round-trips to Hong Kong in one night!

Twenty-four hours is not enough.

Extra-strength stimulant for those afraid of the night"?

It's some kind of stimulant.

Stimulant?

It's a stimulant.

It's as special as our algae soap!

We developed it.

-Thanks to this, you and Mi-yeong-- -Hey, be quiet! Go on now.

Drink?

-Good for your health. -Good for your health.

So it stimulates you?

Wait a minute.

I'm sorry.

I fell asleep, so I didn't hear you come in last night.

I'm sorry.

Then this was the reason?

I was duped by those country-bumpkins?

What do we do about this, sir?

-So this is the reason you-- -I fell into their trap!

This is nonsense!

She acts so innocent in front of me, then pulled this behind my back?

I won't forgive her.

I will never forgive her for this.

Mr. Tak!

What brings you here?

What do you mean? I'm here to escort you home.

-Allow me. -I'm fine. I can take this.

Yeah, well I'm not okay with that.

You have to get used to things like this from now on.

Let's go.

Yes.

-Are the wraps of anchovy all right? -Of course.

-And is Mi-sook doing well? -Yes.

-Get inside. -I can--

I'll do it. Get in, please.

-Thank you. -Please.

President Lee couldn't make it here today because of work.

Please get inside.

Yes.

I thought everything was my fault.

I thought it was my mistake.

Yeah, I was even willing to take responsibility for it all.

But now,

I keep feeling that this is unfair.

If it wasn't for that stimulant or that woman.

Maybe...

She's a part of it too.

They're all in it together.

-Yeah, she's a part of it. -Are you temperamental?

You feel anger towards everyone?

And you can't get any sleep at night?

No. If I drink enough or exercise aggressively,

I fall asleep from exhaustion.

But then I wake up exactly half an hour later,

my chest would cave, and the first thing that comes to my mind is that

I'm married.

I'm married!

I'm married!

I'm married!

But do you know what really drives me insane?

The fact that I have to spend the rest of my life

with that female snail.

A snail?

Like escargot?

No. Not something nice like that.

These are the terrifying snails of Yeoul Island.

Terrifying snails!

Why are you afraid of snails?

The thing with snails is

they seem harmless from the outside,

but their suction power is second-to-none! It's crazy powerful!

Once you're caught by those terrifying suctions.

Then slowly, inch by inch.

Just slowly, inch by inch, it slides along slowly

with its entire home mounted on its back.

It just inches along slowly but...

How do you do?

they're worse than turtles!

And they win in the end. They're victorious.

They always get what they want.

But when I am reminded of these terrifying snails,

all I can do is break out in laughter!

Finally, we have a new ray of sunshine in our home.

Do you think that belongs here? What is this?

Darn it!

Wait, what are you doing?

She may seem like a harmless country girl

but we need to be careful.
