Original subtitles

Can you get me one please? Please buy me one.

I'm the only one who doesn't have it at school.

I already told you, no.

How many times do I have to tell you so that you will believe me?

If you buy me a pair of jeans, I'll study really hard.

A uniform is enough for a student. What else do you need?

Do the players in your team only wear uniforms 365 days a year?

Even on New Year's and Thanksgiving?

-Yes! -Bullshit.

I can't believe you're my daughter, you really have no shame.

If I was getting the worst marks in class,

I wouldn't dare to ask my dad to buy me new clothes.

All you think about is to play instead of studying.

Why on earth do you even bother to go to school?

Why don't you just hang out with your friends all day?

Go work at the shoe factory yourself and make money. Let's see how you do.

Then, I won't nag at you.

Do you want your daughter to drop out of school to make soles for shoes?

I would love that. It would be better than seeing you chase Tony.

It would be 100 times better.

-Dad! -That's enough.

Pull up over there. Gyu-gyeong must be working today.

Yoon-jae wants bungeoppang .

He doesn't even eat red beans. Why does he want bungeoppang ?

Damn it.

That girl is like a fighting dog.

She would beat Tyson if they were to have a biting contest.

Hey, put the beans in the head.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Really?

Right. You're giving this to Yoon-jae, right?

I forgot.

Also, take off that bad boy hoodie.

Take it off. That's Sechs Kies'.

I'll bring you an H.O.T. T2R shirt tomorrow.

Okay.

Hey. Not right now.

Put it back on. What's wrong with you?

Hot!

EPISODE 5

Did you take extras again?

No way, I'm not a thief. I even gave him 1,000 won of allowance.

He's older than you. Why are you treating him like that?

He's not older than me. He's a year younger.

Really?

Yes.

He's young, but hardworking.

I hope he finds his parents soon.

I hope people won't harass him.

You know what?

I would have been better off adopting Gyu-gyeong and raising him than her.

At least he's financially independent.

When are you going to earn your way?

Oh yeah? Well, I'm jealous of him!

If I was adopted too, I wouldn't be annoyed all the time.

Did you just hear her?

How dare you say that!

Seriously! Stop fighting!

Red light! Can you drive properly?

I'll just stop!

Did I say I wanted a computer or a bed?

Can't you buy me a pair of jeans? I'll study hard if you do.

Don't even lie.

I don't think you had trouble studying because you didn't have jeans?

Yoon-jae would still be top of the class even if I buy him worthless underwear.

If you like him so much, go raise him instead!

I would rather live with Tae-woong.

You think I won't do it? I'll put him on the family registry tomorrow.

Go ahead!

Stop it, you losers! Enough is enough.

What if we have an accident?

Jeez.

-What? Did they just run into us? -Oh man.

We'll try to get five weeks of hospital fees out of them.

You're bad at acting,

so just stay inside the car. Okay?

Honey, let's go.

All right.

Goodness.

I'm sorry. Did you get hurt?

I think my neck is broken.

I'm still new to Korea.

My goodness.

-Goodness. Honey. -I'm in pain.

No. I'll call the ambulance.

What's the number for the ambulance?

Ask the help center at 114.

Mi-hee Oh's Music Room.

Today's first half will be on stories our listeners sent in.

Man, I really have to get picked this time.

Honey, are you okay?

My wife was planning to get pregnant lately.

I'll give you my contact number.

Call me if there's any problem.

Jeez my neck hurts,

and so does my lower back and upper back. I'll have after effects.

If anything is uncomfortable, tell me. I'll take full responsibility.

Look what happened to my Leganza.

It's completely smashed. We bought it only four months ago.

The engine just turns off automatically.

-Jeez. - As I've already mentioned,

we select moving stories to relay onto you.

This segment is called, "There is a Blue Bird."

The first place winner will get

the most luxurious

pair of jeans.

We'll send you jeans from Marithe Francois Girbaud.

This is the first story.

It was sent by Si-won Sung from Suyeong-gu, Pusan.

"Hello, Mi-hee.

I'm spending each day in tears lately.

My best friend Yoon-jae

had an accident not too long ago,

and has third degree burns all over his body.

He is so young,

but he has to deal with all this. It really breaks my heart.

There is nothing I can do, so that upsets me even more.

Mi-hee, please help my friend cheer up."

What a load of bullshit.

My, that's a sad story.

I'll pray for your friend's fast recovery.

Your love for your friend is really touching.

To Si-won Sung in Pusan,

we'll send you a toothbrush cleanser.

If you keep it at your friend's hospital room,

you'll be able to clean his toothbrush too.

Goodness. They are really evil.

A toothbrush cleaner?

Are they kidding me? Do I need to kill someone?

Watch what you say.

How many are you killing for a pair of jeans?

That's true. What could be stronger?

EMERGENCY

Everything looks fine. There are no visible wounds either.

You will be fine after a couple of hours' nap.

Goodness. If you want to take that off, I can do it.

Doctor, how can you say that?

My neck almost broke.

Also, car accidents

hurt more the day after.

My heart...

My heart hurts as if someone

is stepping on it.

You see how hurt I am?

I'm going to need

MRI, CT scan, MT,

and endoscopy, the whole works.

-Honey, I'm cold. -Yes?

Of course you are. You are getting sick.

-Right. Go in so we can both lay down. -Jeez.

Goodness, my neck. Let me put my arm around you.

How painful.

Here it is. Gyu-gyeong burned it a little though.

It has some red beans inside.

Just eat it.

Does he not eat red beans?

He's got childish taste in food.

Gyu-gyeong changed his bungeoppang bags.

You're right. It's better than the hostess bar advertisement they used to use.

Their child was lost for ten years?

MISSING REWARD: ONE MILLION WON

"One million won for reward"?

Did you finish your homework?

Damn it, I forgot about it.

Good job.

You still didn't do it? When are you going to finish it?

You'll get hit every time you get the idiom wrong.

This is nonsense.

Why do we have to prepare 3,000 idioms

for just three questions on the exam?

I'm sure every point will matter for you.

Jeez that hurts.

-Did you do it? -I already did it last night.

Didn't you hear? The teacher really hit one of the students 3,000 times last year.

I heard about it.

Why are you looking at me?

Yoon-jae.

Can you write with your left hand?

What the hell?

When am I going to write it all?

I have to write a new story for the radio show.

Just go home and do your homework.

Your mom is waiting.

Right. Has your mom left the hospital?

No.

Is she still in the emergency?

Don't you remember? When she got hit by a motorcycle,

she even got her implants done.

My parents are crooks. They won't ever budge.

They will get CT scans, endoscopy, and even MRIs.

They are taking a tour around the hospital now.

What's there to tour around?

Yoon-jae! I'm here.

I'm Yoon-jae's guardian.

Please treat him well. He's...

Why am I burping so much lately?

Anyway, something good happened today,

so I would like to treat you to drinks.

I'm not a cheap guy. I got you ginseng drinks.

Do any of you have a problem with ginseng?

Raise your hand...

My goodness. It looks like that person has it rough.

Si-won, hand this out to everyone except for that person.

Mr. Yoon, didn't you say you have to go back home for some family affairs?

I feel so bad.

If it wasn't for my wife, I would fill in your night shift.

My wife...

keeps on wanting to have a second child.

Today is the day.

That's okay.

I'll do my rounds. You should go.

Right, Mr. Yoon.

My computer monitor is not working. Do you think you can take a look?

I'll fix it for you when you come back so you can just go home.

Your wife must be waiting.

Goodness. It is such waste for him to just be a teacher

I bet he could even be the Korean version of Bill Gates

Do you still wear those glasses?

Yes. I only wear them at home.

Come down.

Are you going to sleep here?

Yes. No one is home.

Mom is with Dad anyway.

Hurry up and get off the bed.

Why are you looking at me like that?

What is it? Is my beauty keeping you awake?

No. Your ugliness just shocked me.

Do you want a beating? Get off!

Yoon-jae, you're so lucky.

All you do is lie around all day like a cat.

I hope you're not too nervous with me around.

Stop joking around.

Wake me if I snore.

Okay.

PUSAN RED CROSS HOSPITAL

How can you fall asleep?

Go in.

Go in.

Go in.

MARCH 1996 FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL

I got it! No more glasses.

Yes.

What are you doing?

Ta-da!

-What? -Don't you see? I'm wearing lenses.

Do I look bad? Is it weird?

No. It's okay.

I'm so lucky. It's a co-ed high school.

I'll become beautiful.

Goodbye, glasses.

You might bump into them on the streets.

Or coincidentally pick the same book at the library.

Maybe they will run into your umbrella.

I thought the moment you fall in love

would be more special.

It was so unexpected.

I fell for her for something so small.

All done.

What are you doing? Let's go.

Carry it.

Spring of 1996.

My first love...

hit me unexpectedly.

You looked pretty because you took your glasses off back then,

but now you're pretty with them on too.

Dad!

CLUB H.O.T.

-What? -Take that off right now.

What is it?

You're killing me. Do you even know what this is?

This is a limited edition.

Take it off right now.

All raincoats are the same.

Since it's raining, I'll give it to you when we get inside.

No, I was saving it so I could wear it

when I go to the studio to watch a show.

I said I will give it to you at home.

No, give it to me right now. Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Dad. You make me so mad.

Why are you doing this to me?

Dad. I'm going to die.

-Are you okay? -Why are you here?

Are you a baby? Why are you drinking such a cute soda?

Don't you have any pear flavored drinks?

I couldn't buy bungeoppang . Gyu-gyeong wasn't out due to the rain.

Is this the only thing you could get me?

Are you sure you're sick? You're still full of lust.

Here.

Thank you.

These are the notes from today. The teacher wrote so much.

Can I have these? What about you?

I already read it all.

What?

Do you know that I love you?

-What is this? -Hey.

What a beautiful friendship between the top two students.

You two can have it all.

You're lucky you hurt your arm.

A student in class seven didn't do his homework and got hit 3,000 times.

The teacher cried and so did the student. It was such a show.

Thanks to that, all of our class did the homework.

Yoon-jae would've done it if it wasn't for his arm.

If my arm wasn't broken, I would've done Si-won's homework too.

I would be writing out 6,000 of them.

When am I going to finish this?

When will it end?

There are too many.

No.

I can't do it.

This is not humanly possible.

When am I going to do it all?

Are you still not done?

I just finished 100 of them. I still have to write to the radio too.

If you'd bought me jeans, I would've been done already.

You ruined my life.

How much are the jeans?

Are you going to buy me one?

How much are they?

It's 290,000 won.

It's 10,000 won short from being 300,000 won.

So it's 290,000 won, right?

What kind of nonsense is that?

How could a pair of jeans cost 290,000 won?

Are you out of your mind?

Then don't buy them for me! Forget about it. I'll save up.

All you do is chase a monkey around. You're full of empty hopes.

What does that have to do with anything?

If you don't come to your senses, I'll shave your head again.

Go ahead! Shave it!

Honey, bring the shaver.

I asked Si-won to pass it to you.

Get some instant noodles for soup.

Oh, thanks.

Also,

my husband already paid for Yoon-jae's hospital bill.

I'm just letting you know.

No, that's okay. I'll pay.

We have a lot of money.

I know that.

I know your parents left you enough to live on.

I already know.

However,

my husband wouldn't be comfortable if he had it any other way.

Just don't tell him that I've told you about it. It's not even that much.

-Okay. -You can use the money you saved

to get yourself a new computer.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

Jeez what is this?

-How's your dad? -What about him?

I heard he had a car accident.

My parents are crooks.

They just want to have their regular check up while they were here.

It's embarrassing. Why do they do that?

Don't be embarrassed by your dad.

-He's an enemy, not my dad. -Chairman Yoon-suk Lee

found the son he had lost ten years ago.

They are having a sweet reunion.

Gyu-gyeong Lee was born as the third child of Jaeil Group.

Because he's not healthy,

he was always obsessed with herbal medicine and nutritional foods.

In 1987

-when his parents were out, -Isn't that Gyu-gyeong?

he ran into a man named

Gyeong-gyu Lee who took him to a hill behind his house.

No way. That money could have been mine if I knew.

Goodness. I should have treated him better.

How many jeans can I buy with 100 million won?

Gyu-gyeong has become a millionaire overnight

from a bungeoppang man.

His inheritance amounts to 200 billion won.

Life is so unpredictable.

Don't ever put your guard down.

That's right.

Life. You can't let your guard down.

Where did Mom go?

There wasn't a sound.

A cold chill swept across the back of my neck.

The air was uncomfortable.

Hello?

Did you just come home?

Yes.

Do you have money? Do you have money for taxi?

I do. What is it?

- Hey... -Yes?

Don't get surprised, okay?

Humans have supernatural powers.

That ominous phone ring...

It was an alarm from the gods.

Your dad...

has cancer.

Your dad has stomach cancer.

Don't cry in front of your dad.

If you cry, he will too.

When you come to your senses, take the taxi here.

Get your dad's underwear and toothbrush,

and hurry over.

Si-won.

Si-won.

Don't cry.

I'm not going to cry either.

What is this?

What is this?

Dad.

How can this happen?

Hey. Did something happen?

Is someone sick?

Bon Lee's Turn up the Volume.

I'll announce the winner of today's stories.

Si-won Sung from Suyeong-gu, Pusan,

is the winner.

"My dad worked so hard for all of his life for me.

He was suddenly diagnosed with cancer.

He's having a hard time going through chemotherapy.

Please cheer him on.

Even a second would be great.

Could the listeners pray for my dad?"

You can sense how earnest she is

with her love for her dad.

For Si-won Sung,

we'll send you a present to cheer you up.

It's a French jean brand.

We'll send you a pair of jeans from Marithe Francois Girbaud.

Si-won.

We'll also play you a song to help you cheer up.

Si-won definitely has a strong will.

She finally got it.

Hey, don't cry.

I'm fine.

What kind of clothes are these?

The nurse will come soon.

The doctor who is doing your surgery is the best one in Korea.

Don't worry and just think of it as taking a nap.

Okay, Tae-woong.

Anyway, I want you

to take good care of these two.

You should worry about yourself.

Hey.

Si-won Sung.

If you cry like that,

I would be too uncomfortable to get the surgery.

Dad, I'm sorry.

My goodness. Is my daughter finally growing up?

Don't cry, I'm fine.

-Okay. -Don't cry.

I'll be back.

Who's the patient? What is your name?

Sure. I'm Dong-il Sung.

How old are you?

I'm 48 years old.

Okay. Please lie down on the bed.

You should both stay here. I'll go with him.

If you come, it will only make him feel uncomfortable before the surgery.

Yes. Tae-woong.

I'm sorry I'm troubling you so early in the morning.

Here.

You are our eldest son.

-Okay. We will get going. -Okay.

Goodness.

Si-won. It's okay.

Jesus.

I have never talked to you before,

so I'm sorry to ask you for a favor.

However, you are generous.

I hope you will be understanding.

Actually, I have a daughter.

She's in her last year of high school.

She's big in size,

but she's a baby on the inside.

To tell you the truth,

she's not so smart to get into a good college.

Also,

she doesn't know anything about how the world works.

She doesn't have the wits to make money.

No matter how much I think about it,

I'm the only one who could keep supporting her.

What if I die all of a sudden?

Also, if I'm gone,

who will walk her down the aisle at her wedding?

Thinking about her walking down by herself

makes me so sad.

My heart is being torn to shreds.

That's why

I know it's shameless of me to ask you,

but...

please let me live

until the day she gets married.

After she walks down the aisle,

I can die right away.

I won't even turn back.

I will...

I will go and join

my dear Song-ju that's already there.

My son...

Just until I can let go of my daughter's hand,

please let me live.

Please...

You should go home now.

I'm going to stay.

Aren't you going to school tomorrow?

Here it is.

You two always fight like enemies,

but I guess he didn't want his daughter to get in trouble.

Your dad already did your homework.

You fool.

You're the only one he has.

You'd better be good to him.

Life always creeps up on you at the most unexpected moment,

and slaps you at the back of the head.

It could be dreadful sadness,

or dreadful fear.

What we can only do at a time like this...

STAFF ONLY

My goodness.

Goodness. Doctor, how did it go?

The only thing we can do is...

to accept the reality

and admit that you've lost.

My goodness.

-Doctor. I'm so sorry. -No.

-Please save my husband. -Don't do this.

What am I going to do?

I didn't know you were a doctor. I'm an idiot.

Not at all. I was the one who did wrong.

What about my husband?

How did the surgery go?

The surgery...

Pardon?

It went well!

-What? Really? -Yes.

-Do you really mean it? -Yes.

Yes, we successfully removed it and it hadn't spread at all.

Goodness, doctor.

My goodness, doctor. Thank you so much.

-Thank you very much. -No problem.

You never know where life will take you next.

It's no use trying to avoid or ignore it.

All you can do is face it head on and fight through it.

I got it! No more glasses.

But sometimes, life also gives you unexpected gifts

and fills you with butterflies.

If you endure the sadness, you'll be given happiness.

In respect to our current difficulties

with the financial currency market

the government has asked

the International Monetary Fund

for support via the controlled liquidity fund...

You never know where life will take you next.

That's why we must utilize all of our senses

to survive.

On 21st, the government has announced...
