Original subtitles

Shin-bi, come here. Come to Mommy.

Come to Mommy. Hurry.

Shin-bi's not here!

My name's Han Shin-bi, I'm five years old.

Wonderful Life - Episode 08 - "Dinner by Candlelight (because we didn't pay the bill!)"

This is my dad. My mom says he's immature.

He was a soldier until last year, but now he's learning to become a pilot.

Shin-bi, change your clothes.

Ok, let's eat.

Let's eat, Shin-bi.

It's my turn to be your mom today.

That's right!

It's good.

Is it really good?

Yes, it's really, really good.

Then eat up, Seung-wan.

Okay, Mom.

Shin-bi, stop playing like that.

This is my mom.

Her dream was to become a diplomat.

But she has to get a job because my grandpa stopped his financial assistance.

Oh dear, your mom's getting angry.

Why aren't you eating?

Mom, she's very ignorant. She doesn't know anything.

Dad, that's enough.

What?

That's enough!

What's that smell?

Bacon!

You burned it again!

I can't go to my interview smelling like bacon!

Then take another shower.

This is why I asked you to make breakfast today.

Did you forget we're sharing the housework?

Never mind!

I think I'm going to be late for school again.

Take Shin-bi to school, okay?

Why should I? You have to take her.

I'm going to be late for my interview.

Who told you to get a job?

Then who's going to earn money

when our financial assistance has stopped?

Do you want to make money?

Let's go. Come on.

1, 2, 1, 2...

- Dad, what's financial assistance? - What?

Well, it's something you don't want to stop getting.

Why did it stop?

Because your dad opened his big mouth.

What's a big mouth?

It's just something really, really bad.

Why is it so bad?

Well, it hurts my becoming a pilot.

What's a pilot?

Pilot is... someone who flies a plane.

A cool person like me.

Take Shin-bi to kindergarten.

Hey, hey!

Let's go.

We're late.

Hi, Shin-bi.

This is my dad.

You must be happy to have your handsome dad bring you to school.

Have a good day.

What does your dad do?

Tell her your dad's a pilot, someone who flies a plane.

He's a driver.

Congratulations to all of you for passing the exam to go on to training.

It's an honor to fly the skies.

But what you must never forget is

you're in charge of the passenger's safety.

You have to remember to be humble and never show off your skills.

You'll soon learn that this isn't an easy course.

I hear there's a married student in this class. Who is it?

It's me, sir.

What's your name?

It's Han Seung-wan.

People have found it difficult to keep up with their studies and also keep their marriages.

You'll have to pay extra attention to your studies.

You must study hard during the day, then work hard at night as well.

Make sure you don't overwork yourself and run out of energy.

- Daddy, be strong for Shin-bi. -

- Daddy, be strong. -

- Shin-bi's here for you! -

Hey!

Don't let it bother you!

I'm going to accept your requests for a meeting with 5 girls!

Where are the girls from?

They're dance majors with killer bodies!

What school do they go to?

It's tonight at 7.

I forgot about someone! Han Seung-wan.

What about me?

- Daddy, be strong. -

Hey!

Those punks!

Never mind. Where there's a will, there's a way.

What's this?

The Peninsula Restaurant? What's this?

She's a freshman majoring in early education.

She has really long hair and is tall and slim.

I'm busy, so you go in my place.

But I have a family. No way.

Hey!

You need a way to relieve that married man's stress.

I'll keep it a secret from Se-jin.

I can't.

Please help me out here! I already promised the upperclassmen I'd be there.

They'll kill me if I don't show up.

Really? You should've told me earlier.

How do I look today? I'd better go changed.

She returned from maternity leave only to find they'd transferred her to another position.

But she had a bright future with the company.

I guess she was having a hard time because of her baby.

Women aren't very welcomed after we get married and have children.

True.

Hello, I'm Jung Se-jin.

Hello, I'm Han Seung-wan, a future pilot.

Oh my gosh. Who would ever think I'm a married man?

You're way too handsome!

Hello. Can I help you find someone?

I'll look for her myself.

Tell me her name, and I'll help you.

Her name is Han Arum.

I'm over here. Nice to meet you.

You wrote that you were preparing for the foreign service exam to be a diplomat.

What's your reason for applying here?

I think working in export is not that different from being a diplomat.

If I work in the export department...

You're married?

Yes, I got married 3 years ago, and I have a daughter.

I see...

Ms. Suh Hee-ra.

Hey!

You said she was tall and slim!

Isn't she tall?

She was so tall, I was scared of her!

But you like girls with long straight hair!

She looked like Steven Seagal!

I really thought she was a pretty girl.

A pretty girl?

Why didn't you tell me she was on her high school's shot-put team?

Seung-wan!

Come out here, punk!

Actually, who would you ever be satisfied with except Chae-young?

Sorry.

Thank you.

I'm counting on you to help me.

Yes, sir.

Hello?

It's me.

When did you return?

That's what I should ask you.

How could you leave with just a note?

I didn't want to fight with you.

Did you just get back today?

Are you at the office? I'll come there.

No, I have a lot to do. See you tomorrow at the office.

Han Seung-wan...

Is your loveless marriage happy?

This is all we have left for this month.

If only I hadn't bought coffee for Steven Seagal...

If only I hadn't bought an outfit for the interview...

We have no money...

I can't get a job...

I only see a dark future before us.

What's going on?

Did you really not pay the electricity bill?

I paid the gas first.

Oh, no!

Dad, I'm scared.

It's all right.

You don't have to be scared when you're with me.

Shin-bi, look. You're not scared, are you?

But the TV's not on. I'm bored.

Turn the TV on.

Shin-bi...

Let's pretend we're at a concert.

At a concert?

Yes, that's right!

Shin-bi's the best!

It looks like fireworks!

It's hot!

Are you okay?

Of course I'm not okay!

I can't stand this any longer!

Are you ready?

Yes.

Shin-bi, act adorable.

Grandpa, I love you.

Good! Let's go inside.

I made your favorite acorn jelly.

You made it yourself?

Yes.

My wife is very concerned about your health.

She really put a lot of care into this.

How did you know my dad likes acorn jelly?

Stop it, honey.

You like acorn jelly. Try it.

All right.

It's good.

Enjoy it, Dad.

Don't you two fight anymore?

Fight? No, we're not kids.

We don't fight anymore.

We have nothing to fight about.

Isn't that right, honey?

Sure.

So did you come to ask for money?

Of course not!

Dad, please!

You two lead such free-spirited lives.

Did you say free?

Term three, we will keep out of each other's lives.

Term three, we will keep out of each other's lives?

Yes.

Wait a minute.

So what are terms one and two?

We should go home now.

Bye.

Stop right there!

Shin-bi, I'm curious about the first 2 terms.

Will you tell me?

Don't you know?

Term one, we will divorce in 5 years.

Term two, custody will be given to the parent chosen by the child.

Oh, my head... Those kids...

There's more.

Term six, we will sleep in separate bedrooms.

Is marriage a game to you?

It's a promise made by two people!

It's a union between two families!

It's not something you can enter into lightly!

Do you realize what you've done?

Se-jin, I thought you were better than this.

Am I mistaken? Or did Seung-wan influence you?

I'm sorry, Father.

Father? I don't have a daughter-in-law like you.

How can you call me Father when you got married under false pretenses?

Dad.

Don't even call me that! I don't consider you my son!

How could you put on such an act?

Why should I give you money? I'm not an idiot!

But we have Shin-bi.

She's my granddaughter, so I'll give you money for her.

But not a dime to both of you!

What are we going to do now?

I have to get a job soon.

There is a way out of this.

There is one last resort.

One last resort?

Should we ask your mom?

We can't ask her!

There's no other way!

I need to write a report, but we have no power.

And how are you going to prepare for your job interviews?

We won't ask her for thousands of dollars!

We'll just ask for a little bit, and pay her back.

I don't have any money!

But you must have some savings.

I don't have any.

And even if I did, I can't give you any.

You want me to get a job, so why not help me get one that suits my interest?

So get a job, and stop asking me for money!

But I need to invest to get a job.

So you want to be a flight attendant?

I want to fly the skies with Chang-myung.

One should do what suits oneself-.

I'll die penniless if I keep helping you pursue your different interests.

Just start delivering newspapers tomorrow!

If you just work hard at it, it'll suit you well enough.

Mom, why aren't you ever supportive of me?

You're always supportive of Se-jin.

You even went easy on her when she got pregnant and had to get married!

And she's living happily now!

She never asks for money like you do.

She never asks for anything from me.

Never mind, Mom!

I can't have a dictionary with you!

You startled me. When did you come?

It's not "a dictionary." You mean "a discussion."

What do you mean you can't have a dictionary with Mom?

You should speak English correctly.

Exactly. What brings you here?

Why am I here?

Do you need to go to the Hospital? At such a young age you already have...

Alpa.. isn't it?

What?

That arl...

Say it correctly. It's Alzheimer's Disease.

I know.

I'm glad you came.

Can you get a job at the restaurant where you used to work?

Mom!

Your manager trusted you, so ask him for a job for your sister.

All right, I'll talk to him.

I don't want to do that! I can't wait on tables!

Just shut your mouth, and wait on tables!

Excuse me.

Did Director Min Do-hyun go somewhere?

You don't have jet lag anymore?

It's been a week since I returned.

You're staying at a hotel while going over the company papers?

Yes.

Have you gotten a feel of the company?

I learned that it's a leader in the industry,

and there isn't any other like it in the country.

You just memorized the outline.

I'll learn slowly.

I understand you recommended Chae-young as a marketing director.

Yes, she's smart and ambitious.

I recommended her solely on her skills. She's just a friend.

A friend?

Yes, she and I don't have a romantic relationship.

She's a co-worker and a friend.

You've nothing to be worried about.

I don't understand.

You went abroad as if you were running away to get married.

Do-hyun, you sure are bold.

You got your girl a job in the company.

You think the company is your playground?

It's too big a playground for you to play in alone.

It's too big for you to make yours.

I thought I might help.

You arrogant boy.

Why don't you dump her before she dumps you?

Wouldn't it be pathetic to be dumped again?

Of course, it wouldn't hurt as much as being abandoned by your own mother.

So it wasn't sympathy but empathy?

I thought it was sympathy you felt for me.

That's why I fought with you so much.

I never knew we had the same background.

Was your mother a mistress like my mom?

No.

Then she two-timed men like I did?

No.

Did your mother abandon you

to go after the man who left her?

So why do you feel that your mom and I are so alike?

Leaving one's child for a man.

Putting a lover before one's child.

Being able to love more than one man.

Your oldest brother did a background check on me.

He's something else.

He sure is.

No one can get in the way of his ambition and greed.

You should know who you have to side with.

What do you mean?

Your stepmother, Mrs. Jang, has no clout in the company.

Everyone's betting that your oldest brother will take over.

He'll be the one with real power.

I'm not interested.

But I'm interested.

So do you want to take over the company by working with my oldest brother?

If it's possible.

I've been friends with the enemy?

Do you know the only way people like us can survive without being stepped on?

What?

We have to be strong no matter what.

That's why I decided to change.

How?

I'll never be dumped.

I'll be the dumper before being dumped.

And I'll never lose what's rightfully mine.

If I were to lose what's mine, I'd steal it back.

I think I see your claws coming out.

They've been out for awhile now.

Don't worry.

What I want to steal is not the company right now.

I can't wait on tables! I don't want to do it.

You can't back out of it now. I already spoke with the manager.

I never asked you to talk to him! I said no!

I'm sorry.

Il-jin?

Min!

Min?

He's the high school senior you went out with?

What are you doing here?

I couldn't forget you after we broke up, so I went into the army.

After serving my country, I got a job here.

My Min grew into a fine young man.

I'm in college now. I'm no longer a boy.

Where's the manager?

I'll find out, so you leave.

Are you going to get a job or not?

I will. Just go.

Min...

- Kids Bear Company Help wanted. -

Do you want to meet the employees in the marketing department now?

No, I want to take a look around.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Jung Se-jin?

Lee Chae-young?

It's been a long time. It's been 3 years.

Yes, it's been a long time.

- Interview Schedule. -

HIRING COMPANIES

When did you come back?

A few days ago.

What are you doing here?

I work in the area.

I came here for market research.

Okay, then go on with your market research.

How's Seung-wan doing?

She didn't even do the dishes.

I'm busy right now!

Hello?

It's been a long time.

Chae-young.

How have you been?

Fine.

When did you come back?

A few days ago. What are you doing right now?

I'm writing a paper.

Can you come out to see me?

Aren't you going to come out to see your friend?

I'm sorry, Chae-young, but we shouldn't...

You're so funny. I'm not going to eat you.

I just want to see an old friend.

I'll just barge into your house if you don't come out.

No, no, I'll come out to see you.

Where are you?

It makes me look like a married man.

It's too loud.

This is it.

- Job Application. -

Chae-young.

Hi.

It's been a long time.

Yes, it has been.

Die! Die now!

Die! I want you to die now!

Why aren't you dying?!

I saw your wife today.

Don't be alarmed. I just ran into her by accident.

Something about her now makes her look like a married woman.

No, she doesn't...

You look like an old man too.

Here.

What is it?

She's looking for a job, isn't she?

I thought it might be helpful to your wife.

It's a good company.

The company makes children's products.

So it's a good working environment for married women.

Thanks, but she wouldn't like it if she knew you helped.

Shin-bi's at an age when she needs her mother.

Wouldn't you feel bad if she weren't cared for by her mother?

She was born as a mistake, not out of love. You two should love her as much as you can.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Yes, Teacher.

What?

Did Shin-bi's teacher call you?

She called you too?

It's not serious, but... Shin-bi...

What about her?

I don't know how to tell you this...

Actually, in class today, she...

Who wants to tell the class how we're born?

Me, me, me!

You go ahead.

I was born in a cabbage patch.

An angel brought me here.

Really?

We were born because our mom and dad loved each other!

I see.

What about you, Shin-bi?

You were born out of a mistake?

What?

It was a shock, but that's not all.

There's more?

What are you doing?

I'm trying to see if I can make a baby by mistake.

It's dangerous to play with fire.

We don't have power at home, so my mom and dad always play with fire.

I have no intention of criticizing you,

but I want to ask that you not use such language around Shin-bi.

I'm sorry.

Where's Shin-bi right now?

I couldn't get in touch with you,

so I called her grandfather.

Who?

Her grandfather came and picked her up.

- Get out! - Dad.

I can't let you raise my granddaughter.

Please...

I don't want to hear it!

How could you humiliate us like this?

You have no right to be parents! What could Shin-bi possibly learn from you?

Shin-bi, go inside.

You don't have to say anything. Get out.

Don't even think about seeing Shin-bi until you two mature.

Dad.

Come back with a plan for your life if you want to take Shin-bi back.

Father...

Father...

What are we going to do now?

Congratulations!

Welcome back,

and congratulations on your new position!

Nice name plate!

Here, for you.

Thanks.

This looks familiar.

Where could you have seen it?

I think I saw it on our veranda.

You sure are observant.

You know, we have to recycle everything these days.

Aren't you going home?

Chae-young!

Chang-myung!

When did you come back?

What did you eat to become even more gorgeous?

You haven't changed at all. Good to see you.

Let's have a party at our place tonight!

You two should thank me.

Why?

You two met because I introduced you at Seung-wan's wedding.

You went abroad together. And now you work together and are seeing each other.

You should never stop being grateful to me.

How are things with you and Il-jin?

Do-hyun, do you have to ask?

Il-jin's sick because of me!

What do you mean?

She gets sick if she doesn't see me for one day.

What the...

You two go ahead without me.

You kept this picture?

Sure.

I couldn't get rid of it because it'd be like

getting rid of you from my heart.

Min.

Il-jin.

Il-jin!

Chang-myung!

Who is he, Il-jin?

A friend...

A friend?

What did I do?

Who is that boy?

Chang-myung!

Why are you doing this?

Don't you know why?

I don't know. I really don't.

How could you be so cruel?

Do you take me for granted?

Do I not mean anything to you?

That's enough. He's just my first love.

Your first love?

If you want to meet another man,

don't let me catch you!

Got it?

Chang-myung!

If you leave now, it's the end for us!

I won't go now...

You scared me.

Don't see other men. You hurt my feelings.

Don't you know you're the only man for me?

My flower, my cosmos!

I said it's the end!

It's really the end...

Your joke's gone too far.

Is it okay to have the party at home?

What do you mean?

You've been staying at a hotel since you returned.

I just went over the papers to familiarize myself with the work.

Is that all?

What is it that you want to say?

It's strange that you'd stay at a hotel

when you have a home.

I thought getting married would solve everything.

No problem was solved by getting married.

I have more responsibilities.

My friends all have successful careers.

I can't enjoy a carefree youth.

I can't even be responsible for my own life.

And yet we have to be responsible for a baby.

Shin-bi should be raised with love.

But she's only getting hurt.

You're hurting me.

You don't have to ignore my question

if there's no particular reason for staying at a hotel.

Why are you still on the subject?

I just want you to be honest with your feelings.

Chae-young.

Look, they even lit candles for a nice atmosphere.

We're actually helping our country's future.

Young couples not having children is a serious problem lately.

Sure!

At this rate, our society will be full of seniors and no young people.

Exactly!

Unemployment has reached 400,000,

and young people are caring for a lot of elders.

Who's going to solve the problem of benefits that are dried up?

That's what I mean!

At this rate, the labor force will be nonexistent, and we'll have nothing to eat!

And then we'll be invaded by aliens.

So we're actually doing something really important for society.

Why did our lives become such a mess?

I don't know...

Everyone our age is dating, but we're married with a kid.

Should we go out on dates?

Dates? Sure.

So what should we do first?

Let's clear our names from playing with fire.

Clear our names?

Mom.

It's all right.

You peed!

You peed because you were born out of a mistake!

Stop it!

Get out, boys!

Let's change your clothes, and go to the playground.

There were many stars in the sky,

on the night you were born.

Grandpa, I can't see the stars.

You can't? You're right...

Anyhow, the stars were shining bright

on the night you were born.

A nice looking stork suddenly appeared

out of the sky.

The stork had a white basket in his beak.

And you were in the basket.

So you were actually brought to us by a stork.

A stork?

Yes, a stork.

So if kids at school tease you, tell them a stork brought you here.

So my mom's a stork?

Yes, I guess you could say that.

So who's my dad?

A crow.

- Hey, you had crow eyes when you were younger! - What?

Let me see.

Hey, the sun was shinning, that's why my eyes were like that.

Look at my legs when I was young.

It looks like I have legs of a stork, isn't that right?

Stork legs?

Hey I have a question.

How does looking at this photo album and clearing up about our 'one night stand' relate?

We don't understand or know enough about each other.

In order to understand and get to know each other...

Will that clear our name from having a 'one night stand'?

Watch what you say.

What? I'm just stating the truth.

Shin-bi has your eyes.

Really?

I'm not referring to any other part, but your eyes are a little bit pretty.

Only a little bit?

Yes a little bit.

She has your nose.

Really?

I'm not referring to any other part, but your nose is acceptable.

So I'm saying, Shin-bi has inherited all our good qualities.

Yes, God made her perfect.

Hey, you played the piano when you were young?

Yes of course, I was a brilliant pianist.

Stop talking rubbish.

Are you saying that I'm lying?

Of course.

Oh my gosh..

This is injustice!

Hey, come with me.

Can we just enter someone's place like this?

It's okay, I've already spoken to the security guard.

Then why are we whispering like a thief?

It's fun.

Is this fun?

Today is your lucky day!

Today, you'll experience Mozart's reappearance.

You need such a long preparation for a performance? Just start playing.

Anymore?

Yes, of course.

A famous song, listen carefully.

What did you just say?

You heard me. I'm going to steal him away.

Steal who?

Seung-wan.

Are you crazy?

I told you I won't let anyone steal what's mine.

If they do, I'll get it back.

So you're planning on stealing him away?

We only live once,

so we should live with the ones we love.

If Seung-wan, me, you and Se-jin are all miserable,

I'll be the one to correct the wrong.

Chae-young!

This is fun.

Should we play something nice now that we've warmed up?

You still want to play? We should go home.

I changed the way I think while I was aboard.

Foreigners are more understanding when it comes to love.

There was a professor who was married to a truck driver.

Then there was a woman who married a much younger man.

You're crazy.

What's wrong?

You wouldn't be upset if Seung-wan and Se-jin broke up.

What are you talking about?

Are you acting dumb or denying the truth?

Don't do anything rash. I won't let you.

So just sit back and watch

while I correct the wrong that's been done.

I won't let you!

How was it?

Wasn't I good?

Se-jin.

Yes?

What is it? Say it.

We...

We?

We...

We...

Should we really date?

What?
