Original subtitles

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

-Congratulations. -Yes, thank you.

Come down from there, Mr. Park.

What are you doing there? Come down.

Chairwoman Wang! Chairwoman!

Chairwoman Wang!

How come you guys are here alone? Where are the bride and groom?

The thing is...

What is it?

The thing is, the two of them...

Those two have disappeared.

Goodness!

What?

Just where could those two be?

ONE WEEK AGO

Is this how you handle business, Mr. Tak?

Get out!

Geon.

Geon!

What's the matter, Geon?

It's me. Don't you remember?

Who are you?

You didn't lose your memories again, did you?

It's me. Kim Mi-yeong. Doggypoo's mother.

The snail. Super-glue. Don't you recall any of these?

Jang Na-ra.

What?

Jang Na-ra!

Geon.

Geon, what's wrong? What Na-ra?

What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?

I got chased by a dog in my dream.

By the way, Mi-yeong,

what are you doing in that apron this early in the morning?

-I was doing something fun. -Something fun?

-Finger. -Finger?

-So making bread is fun? -It's really fun.

I can think of more fun things over there.

So, while we wait for this, I'll get ready to go to the studio.

Kim Mi-yeong.

Are you abandoning me?

I'm on vacation here.

Since you're on vacation, someone has to pay the bills.

That doesn't sound so bad.

It sounds like we're a married couple.

Shall I give everything up and become your assistant?

Madam, would you like to employ

an attractive and deadly male assistant?

Available for you 24 hours, day and night.

I don't think my husband will approve.

I like your faithful wife stance.

When are you going to let me go?

I'll let go if you give me a kiss.

You!

What are you doing?

Go over there and clean the floor. Don't miss any spot.

-What are you doing today? -I have a lot to do today.

Mother. Mom.

I'm hungry.

The dialect isn't that hard.

Good thing I've mastered it.

Lady Anchovy Wrap, were you waiting for me?

I know you were waiting for me!

Lady, I've prepared this for you.

This is a bribe.

This is my way of showing you I'll be a good son. No more worries.

They're nutritional supplements.

-I don't need them. Take them back. -Playing hard to get!

This isn't enough for you to even bat an eye?

Okay, how about I prepare something small and shiny next time?

Something irresistible. But I wonder

what could possibly be shinier than the eyes of our Lady Anchovy Wrap?

Stop talking to me. Just take them and go. I don't need these.

I'm really hungry!

Give me some food, Mom!

You should at least let me eat before I leave.

Mom.

If you're done eating, stop bugging me and leave.

I can't even call out for my own mother? Am I Hong Gil-dong?

Geon.

Mom, did you call for me?

Why did you call me?

What is it?

You may not believe me, but you're like a son to me.

You're like my mom too, Lady Anchovy Wrap.

So please accept us.

Let me marry Mi-yeong. I want to marry her.

That being said, if you ever fall ill, I will take care of you.

I don't know how ill you are,

but I'll do everything I can to help you.

Lady Anchovy Wrap, I'm not sick at all!

Is this the face of someone who's sick?

I haven't had a cold in the past three years.

And I'm getting a full checkup every six months.

Do you want to see how healthy I am? Want to see me do pushups?

I'll show you I can do pushups with only my thumbs.

It's alright. I believe you.

I will be a mother to you, Geon.

So, can you let Mi-yeong go?

I don't care if everyone says I'm selfish,

but I can't sit back and watch my daughter

knowingly walking into a life of hardship.

I like you a lot. But I can't approve of the marriage.

Do you understand me?

Can you understand my feelings as a mother?

Did you think I was going to give up just like that?

You just watch!

I'll be back stronger and more convincing!

I will be back, Lady Anchovy Wrap!

What kind of rotten situation is this?

It's been a while.

What's wrong?

Why are you ignoring me?

Aren't we drinking buddies?

We're not drinking now, so I will ignore you.

I'm confused by your sudden change in demeanor.

-Aren't you getting in? -You go first.

I forgot something behind.

What's up with her?

Hello.

How do you do? Allow me to introduce myself.

Do you know the restaurant serving anchovy wraps across the street?

I'm to become their third son-in-law, Lee Geon.

The third son-in-law.

Please take one of these.

-Thank you. -This is extremely refreshing.

You have really nice hair, but you can maybe use a bridge here.

-Really? -Of course.

-I'll do it! -Here's one for you.

Thank you.

Mother, did you come for a perm?

You should color your hair in a lighter color.

Trust me.

-I know. I'm handsome, aren't I? -Yes.

Have one of this.

-Thank you. -Lady Anchovy Wrap!

Were you doing your hair over there?

Goodness!

Lady Anchovy Wrap, here's a bottle for you.

-I'm not drinking that. -Playing hard to get again?

How am I going to change my dear mom's mind?

Do you want to know what my wish is?

I want to see you dressed up in traditional Korean dress.

You know, looking really refined and sophisticated?

Forget it.

Once I say no, I mean it.

Lady Anchovy Wrap.

You're a lady of principle!

That's why I love you, Lady Anchovy Wrap!

But Lady, I know this.

I know that you'll eventually give your blessings.

I'm leaving for today, but I'll be back more aggressive tomorrow.

Look forward to that.

And drink this.

Accept my sincerity.

It's good for you.

I'm going now. I'm leaving!

Your son-in-law is so accommodating. You're so lucky.

He's so handsome and playful.

I wish my son-in-law was like him.

I envy you. You must be happy.

What is that?

Wait, this is...

It's the ramen with fish eyeballs that you've been craving.

The very ramen that Dragon was always singing praises about?

Let me try.

I've always wondered what it tasted like.

It has a different kind of flavor from the anchovy wraps.

Dragon, I've tried it too now!

It's really good.

My mom's difficult, isn't she?

I know that you've been trying hard to convince her.

It's no fun if she's an easy woman.

Thank you.

I'm sure she's disappointed you, but you're not showing it.

Just trust me, alright?

I'll do whatever it takes to make her crumble.

-Good luck, Geon! -Good luck!

Wait, why is there only one bowl?

I'm not that hungry.

Have some of this. It's no fun eating alone.

-Should I then? -Here.

This is really good.

Look, Mi-yeong.

Shall we build a nest tonight?

A nest of love.

How does that sound?

Who is it?

How dare you disturb us! Who is it...

What's everyone doing here?

Since you got a new house, you should throw a housewarming party.

We were waiting for an invitation, but none came,

-so we decided to barge in. -Exactly.

-Let's go inside. -Wait...

-Let's get inside. -Let's go!

-Hey, this place is nice! -Let's get in.

Mi-yeong!

Mi-yeong.

Mi-ja?

What brings you here all of a sudden?

You sure came at an impeccable time.

Why? What were you two doing? You guys are blushing.

What do you mean?

We were eating some ramen, right?

We were eating ramen. That's what we were doing.

There's not much to eat in the house. Mi-ja, shall we order something?

-We're alright. -We've already eaten.

People these days eat before going to a housewarming party.

-Right. -I have that much common sense.

Rather than eating,

-this is more important. -What is that?

Something that cannot be left out in a proper housewarming party.

President Lee is a card shark.

-Go, Lee. -I'm Lee Geon, not Go, Lee.

It's my turn.

Goodness.

-Gosh. -There he goes again.

-He's wiping out the table. -Mr. Park's turn.

I'm not getting anything.

-Yes, I got all five bird cards! -The bird cards.

-We won! -We scored all points.

-We won. -The bird cards.

-Yes! -Okay, so...

Alright, I stop now.

-I scored six points and you have... -That's 1,200 won.

-Just take it. -Hand over the money.

Geon.

Can I take the next hand?

Mi-yeong, this is the world of hustlers.

Hustler Park and Hustler Choi. This is no laughing matter.

I don't know about anything else,

-but I know my game. -Your game?

Alright then.

-Let's see how good you are. -May I?

When did you change into pants?

Brother,

-deal the cards. -Do you even know the rules?

Mi-yeong has nothing to take.

First luck!

-First luck? -I got a matching card!

Yes, it's the matching card!

-She's good. -Right?

There's nothing for me.

-My goodness. -I'll take this one and...

You're stacked!

What's that?

-Dear me. -What?

-Go! -Here we go!

The bird cards!

-That's another go! -The bird cards?

Then that leaves me with nothing to take!

You can't take these ribbon cards.

The ribbon cards!

-She's good at this. -I'll take this one, too.

Money. Please hand over your money.

Here. Take it.

Mr. Park owes you 1,000 won.

Mr. Park.

Mr. Park.

Me?

Is it my turn?

-I got double points! -Double points? Okay.

Go! This is working out perfectly.

Blue ribbon cards!

-Mi-yeong. -Yes?

We should stop.

The sun's up.

-Let's go, Mi-ja. -We should go.

Let me do the maths.

That's four times the score, so you each owe me 15,000 won

and 30,000 won.

-Just give her 15,000 won. -That's 45,000 won for me.

-No need to count it. -Wait.

-That'd be enough to cover the lost money. -Let's stop now.

-Applause, everyone. -Geon, here.

You won. They should go home now.

Shall we get started now?

So you finally ended it with President Lee?

You read the article?

You never listened when I warned you.

Look what's happened to you now.

You're really peculiar.

What do you mean?

Other mothers would console their daughters

or curse the man in this situation.

But you're always quick to blame me.

Since I was young, it's always been like this.

To put it nicely, you expected a lot, or rather you treated me like your puppet.

Mom.

By any chance...

Never mind. I better go.

I will get going then.

ANCHOVY WRAPS

On another note, you're unbelievable.

You were like a professional.

It's been a while since I last played the game.

Why did you come out with me?

You're probably tired. You should've slept more.

I can go alone.

I think it's time that I get involved.

What's she doing?

-Getting warmed up. -I see.

-She's getting ready to run. -Right.

-Good morning. -Morning.

-Good morning, Lady Anchovy Wrap! -What are you...

-Are you following me out here? -You thought I came here alone?

-Look. -Mom.

Good morning.

And what are you doing here?

-I have to be here. -Of course.

A couple should be as one.

You two decided to team up against me now?

You are scared, right? Are you trembling?

You didn't expect us to team up, right?

This is useless.

I never go back on my decisions.

By the way, how does clapping your hands front and back like this

help you?

I don't know. I just heard that it's good for you.

I was going to do it too if there's any benefit.

There's a lady that I know.

Someone who I have to impress.

But this lady is really stubborn.

She thinks I'm going to croak any day now.

So I have to prove to her

that I'm strong enough to protect the woman I love!

Then the lady might just slowly change her mind.

Lady Anchovy Wrap, watch closely. Let me show you that I'm healthy.

-Watch. -We begin with the parallel bars!

-Let's go! -Go!

How do you hang on these? Not even a monkey could do it.

Pass.

Turn like this. And like this! Next, you climb up.

You think this is the end? I'll hold my position now.

-Is this the end? -You're doing great!

Then spin like this and hold the position again. What do I do next?

Now for the finish!

-Ta-da! -Ta-da!

You think this is the end?

She's already in shock.

Watch him.

This is really hard, you know. Now, upside down.

Then I keep spinning.

Spinning.

Go Geon!

Two, three...

Do you know how hard this is?

-Not everyone can do that. -You see?

Look at my hands. I'm letting go!

-Did you see? -One-handed!

-Not everyone can do this! -One-handed!

Two fingers. Look, Mom!

The abdominals.

The most important muscle for long life.

Mi-yeong.

Four-hundred-seventy-four...

You can do it!

Goodness, what am I doing?

Geon.

Four-hundred-seventy-six...

-My stomach. -You can do it!

This exercises your entire body.

Lady Anchovy Wrap.

Lady, where are you going?

Do you think we will give up like this?

Never. This isn't over yet.

Mi-yeong, are you alright?

As long as I'm with you.

Good work.

-Let me carry you. -What?

-No. You're more tired than me. -Mi-yeong, what are you doing?

I'm a strong man. I'm definitely not weak.

Get on, hurry up.

-Really? -Of course.

I'm pretty heavy.

-You are tired, right? -Not at all.

My Geon is the best.

Mi-yeong, do you want to go eat some more ramen?

Shall we?

-Fish eyeball ramen? -Yes, that one.

I regret losing the things I love and the time that I wasted

from the fear of death.

Why did I make such foolish mistakes?

A man should always shout out from a high place like this.

Good boy!

I want to go back and reclaim those things.

I'm going back to my family.

DEAR GEON

You're the best cook ever.

I learned a lot living by myself.

I got most Korean dishes pat down.

The more I get to know you, the more you're my type.

How long are you going to treat me like an older sister?

I don't want to be your older sister anymore.

-Then what do I call you? -Call me by my name!

Ji-yeon.

Yes.

-Did you address me formally just now? -Since I'm older than you,

it's even more important to treat you with respect.

Ji-yeon,

you've awakened the tough guy inside me.

Prepare yourself.

What are the two of you doing?

-Mom. -Mother.

-Yong, why aren't you at work? -I'm taking the day off. I told you that.

And you. How am I your mother? I never gave birth to you.

That's mean.

That boy...

What's wrong with his taste in women?

You are here.

-Are you leaving? -Listen.

May I ask you one thing?

It's about father.

Do you remember what he was like when you last saw him?

He seemed like a different man that day.

I'm sorry.

And thanks for everything.

Well then.

That's all I was to him, someone he felt sorry and thankful for.

When he wanted to return to his family,

I couldn't hold him back.

I hoped he'd be mine at least during the time he lost his memories,

but that's my selfishness talking.

But I felt sorry for him.

On the day he went to see his family,

he got into that car accident.

But at least, he died alongside the person he truly loved.

I guess that makes things a little less bad.

Thank you.

For giving me Father's diary.

Excuse me?

Thank you.

Did he just thank me?

That's a first.

What is this place?

Based on my findings, these people can locate anything for you.

This is a hoodlum's den. A gangster hideout.

With thugs.

Impeccable sense of fashion. What's this?

This one's two buttons.

-He can't close his. -No, he can't.

Such vibrant colors.

Did you? Sure.

Of course, Daddy misses his daughter very much too.

-See you later. I love you. -What kind of call is that?

Do we have guests?

Have I...

You think a contract is some kind of joke?

You're...

Do I seem funny to you?

-The landfill! -Yes.

You're President Cha!

Look who it is.

Isn't it President Lee Geon from Jangin Chemicals?

What brings you here?

Did that loving wife of yours cheat on you?

Do you want me to take care of things?

So this is what you're involved in now?

I see. So you haven't heard about me, have you?

During our time apart, I did something illegal

and ended up in the big house.

You went to your family? It's not a holiday yet.

I meant the prison.

Do I have to spell it out for you?

Anyway, my company went out of business

and I decided to start over from the beginning.

Long story short, you went bankrupt. His company's bankrupt.

His company's bankrupt.

Let's go. I can't depend on him. Let's go, Mr. Tak.

Good luck.

Are you standing in my way right now?

-Mr. Tak. -Yes.

With the right fist, you'd be able to smell funeral incense.

With the left fist, you'd hear the funeral song.

I can do this! And that!

I can separate your soul from the body.

You two. Do you want a taste of this?

Do you?

Wait.

Impatient as always.

You won't find anyone else that's a better fit for the job.

Since you're a returning customer,

I'll give you a 10 percent discount. So leave it to me.

My persistence is second to none!

Can you really find it?

With my know-how,

I can uncover anything anywhere in the world.

A tree?

-Can you find this tree? -A tree?

If you find this tree, I won't need the 10 percent discount.

-I'll pay you double. -Boys.

Get a move on it!

-Yes, Boss! -Yes, Boss!

What brings you here?

Do you want to eat this?

I can't really say this looks conventional.

-It's my first time making it. -What?

You're sharing this with me?

I guess this is an honor.

Well...

It tastes better than it looks.

I've done some background research on you.

-You're pretty famous. -You background researched me?

People already know about me.

You didn't look into my complicated love life, did you?

What complicated?

You're the expert on a one-sided love.

Goodness, I almost choked.

Remember last time when you were really drunk and I helped you home?

Yes.

I happened to see a photo of a kid beside your bed.

Who is that in the photo?

That's my younger sister.

-Sister? -Her name's Mi-yeong.

I lost her when I was young.

Why are you asking about that?

It's nothing.

I should get going.

Let me wash your plate for you.

No, you can have it.

What? Wait.

Goodness.

I can't eat this.

Did you leave something behind?

The girl in the photo...

I think that's me.

But I don't know why I'm in the picture.

It's different from the original color.

-Please fix it. -Okay.

Isn't this too heavy?

It should be much lighter.

Change the material and make another sample.

Yes.

DANIEL

Hello.

It's been a while.

I know, right?

I considered calling you drunk a couple of times.

You're still funny.

Don't smile at me like that.

I might end up falling for you all over again.

How have you been?

As you know, everyone wants to work with me, so...

I'm kidding.

I've been busy preparing for the Biennale. And you?

Starting my business in Korea is taking a lot of preparation.

I actually called you here to give you a very small gift.

A gift?

Yes, my final gift to you.

I left it over there. One moment.

-What's your relationship to this man? -I'm her neighborhood friend.

From now on, I'll be there for you, just like a big brother.

I still don't know if I'm just thankful to you

or if I really love you.

I know what you're trying to say.

That was a little embarrassing.

Thank you.

It's a precious gift and I'll treasure it for a long time.

You have to remember even when you become an old lady.

Yes, I will.

Let me know if you ever need a priest or a neighborhood friend.

I will.

I'm going to stay strong. Strong!

Stay strong!

Yes, did you find the tree yet?

How can I find it with just one photo?

Give me some more clues.

I wouldn't have hired you if I had tons of clues!

Start from the beginning and look with sharp eagle eyes!

This guy...

-Eagle, I really don't-- -If you have nothing to do,

come to the restaurant.

You're good at this!

Let me drink some too.

Eat some of this while you drink.

What kind of snack is this?

If you're serving tofu, give me kimchi too. Soy sauce at least.

Do I look like I was just released from jail?

This is raw tofu. I'm not a criminal!

From now on,

-you're a sinner to me. -What do you mean by that?

Because you're going to steal my daughter away from me for forever.

Lady Anchovy Wrap.

Are you sure that you can stay strong beside Mi-yeong and protect her?

Lady Anchovy Wrap!

I'll make sure that she always smiles

and that she's always happy!

Here, have a drink.

And give me some too!

What's wrong?

It tastes so sweet.

Stuff your face with this!

-If this world didn't have wraps -Go!

What fun would there be

Fun!

-Every morning... -Wraps!

-Every night... -Wraps!

-Wraps are the very best! -The best!

Why won't this open?

-Why won't this open? -Goodness!

-Hey! You didn't forget me? -Yes?

-How can I forget you? I can't. -Of course not.

-You can't forget a woman like me! -Right.

I'm drunk.

Why are you so close to me? It's hot in here!

Mom, don't worry.

Why would I worry about you?

You never listen to me and do whatever you want to.

Are you going to look pretty at my wedding?

Are you bragging about marrying twice in front of your single mom?

Once is enough. I'm not doing it again.

You're really not coming?

I only agreed because of that selfish brat,

but don't expect me to send you away with a smile!

I don't care if you think I'm cruel.

That's how I feel!

That's how I feel.

You brat! That's my pillow. Give it back.

Go live your life, I don't care!

Of course, we will.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Did you find anything, President Cha?

What?

-Mi-yeong. -You're so pretty.

You look so beautiful.

-Do I look alright? -So pretty.

-So beautiful. -You look really beautiful.

Mom's very busy today.

You know how stubborn she is. Given the things she's said...

It's her loss.

She can't see you looking pretty like this.

I'm so envious!

-Mi-yeong. -Geon?

You need to go someplace with me.

-Hurry. -Where?

Where are they going?

-Don't cry. -Open the door!

The door? Why?

President!

-What's the matter? -What's wrong?

Where are you going?

Mr. Tak, the key!

-Why? -Where are you going?

-Where are they going? -I don't know. President...

-Wait. -Where...

What?

What's going on?

Geon, where are we going?

-What about our wedding? -Right now,

I have to be someplace with you.

We're doing this together.

Chairwoman Wang! Chairwoman!

Chairwoman Wang!

How come you guys are here alone? Where are the bride and groom?

The thing is...

What is it?

The thing is, the two of them...

Those two have disappeared.

Goodness!

What?

Just where could those two be?

-I got a text message. -Look!

-Chairwoman, here. -We'll be right back.

Please wait for us. I'm sorry.

Where did they go this time?

Geon.

One moment, please.

You're here.

We got here just in time.

They were planning to move the tree today,

but we managed to stall them.

Please wait.

One moment, please.

-Can you give me a little bit of time? -We can't do that.

We need to finish this now.

What's so difficult about that?

-Let's all take a break. -Yes.

Now that my job is over, I'll be on my way.

Goodness.

I can't believe I went hunting for a tree.

Boys, let's go.

-Yes, Boss! -Yes, Boss!

Oh my.

Here. He's on the mound.

Strike!

Geon, you throw very well.

-Here you go. -I'll throw a fast one this time!

What do you think is in here?

Ta-da!

Do you know what this is?

This is what you can wear when you become an adult.

-Promise me that you'll wear these. -Yes.

I'm putting these in here.

Then, I'll put this.

The ball that I got signed at our very first baseball game.

Let me see.

We'll put that inside.

You can open this when you're as old as me now, alright?

-This is fun. -It's fun?

Let's do this again.

Again?

Of course we will.

Geon, listen to what I have to say.

If you ever feel scared or nervous,

laugh like your father. Like this.

Like this. Understand?

-Then I'll always be next to you. -Okay.

Let's bury this now.

It's going inside.

There we go. Let's cover it up now.

Geon, by the time you read this letter,

I guess you'd already know about me

and that we've walked the same road.

I've decided to leave you and your mother,

but I know that I might regret it one day.

If you ever have to make a decision like me,

don't fear the unknown like I have.

I hope you won't waste the time you have

and instead cherish every precious moment.

I'm sorry.

I love you, Geon.
