Wonderful Life - Episode 09 - "Where Storks Live: Shin-bi's Journey"

How was it?

Wasn't I good?

Se-jin.

Yes?

We...

We?

We...

We...

Should we really date?

What?

Stop right there!

I thought you said you talked to the security guard.

How could I have? I don't even know him.

What? You're outrageous.

It's fun.

Stop right there!

That was fun.

A different experience for you, wasn't it?

Let's go.

Okay.

Why did you suddenly say such a thing?

What?

Earlier, in the music room...

Didn't you say... Something about dating...

When did I say that?

You didn't?

Did I say that?

I knew it...

It's cold. Come on!

I have to get my keys out.

Okay...

Where are my keys?

Here they are.

Is Shin-bi sleeping?

Shin-bi's at your parents'.

That's right...

So we're home alone.

Alone? Yes...

Se-jin.

Yes?

Are you scared?

Yes, I'm very scared.

Let's get Shin-bi tomorrow.

Okay.

Good night.

My hand almost cramped up.

Why am I so nervous?

That was so uncomfortable.

And it was so unexpected.

- PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT: WE WILL DIVORCE IN 5 YEARS. -

We won't have to wait much longer...

Jung Il-jin, you bad girl! How could you do this to me?

Why are you home so late?

Didn't you say you wanted to have a drink and unwind?

Unwind, my eye!

Did something happen?

Is this what love's all about?

Can you just easily transfer it from one person to another?

Do-hyun, I got dumped today.

I can't love someone who doesn't love me back.

Was Chae-young here?

Where are you going?

Out to get some fresh air.

Wouldn't you be happy if Seung-wan and Se-jin get divorced?

Are you playing dumb, or are you denying it?

Seung-wan.

It's strange.

What is?

I can't sleep.

Why?

I think I...

I think I like you.

What?

I'm sorry I'm telling you so late.

Se-jin.

Se-jin.

Se-jin, are you sleeping?

No...

What are you doing?

Just stay still.

What are you doing?

I said stay still.

It's not working.

My room's cold! Why isn't the heater working?

The power's off.

That's right...

Do we have an electric blanket?

I told you the power's off.

That's right...

What about a heating lamp?

That runs on electricity too.

What are we going to do?

We should've paid the electricity bill rather than the gas bill.

Then we wouldn't be able to cook.

That's true.

You should go to sleep.

I'll blow out all the candles later.

Okay.

I was a little happy today.

I felt warm inside, like I did when you flew the light plane in Singapore.

I felt nervous, like I did when you told me I look pretty in the moonlight.

It was the first time I felt happy.

I feel like I should sing more often.

Se-jin, we...

We...

Should we really date?

Should we really date?

Did you sleep well?

Yes...

We should eat.

Seung-wan.

Yes?

We're out of rice.

Chang-myung! Give me some rice.

Hey, give me some rice.

Chang-myung!

You sure are impatient.

Why don't you just break down the door?

It's been a long time.

You look good.

When did you return?

I can give you rice but do you know how to make porridge?

There's a sick person in the house.

The key point is to boil it at high heat, and then keep stirring it at low heat.

I see...

Chang-myung's really sick?

He has a bad hangover.

How long do you have to stir it?

You have to put care into it since it's for a sick person.

Stop staring.

I'm not staring at you.

Now that we're no longer in school,

let's be less formal with each other.

But you were a year ahead of me in school.

So... Sure!

I didn't know you were back because you haven't been home.

I was staying somewhere else because of work.

I see...

Your style's changed since I last saw you.

How so?

I can't quite put it into words, but your style's more sophisticated.

Sophisticated, my eye!

Is that a compliment, or are you just trying to butter me up?

It's a compliment of course.

And I'm trying to butter you up as well.

The porridge is overflowing while you two talk.

You didn't know she burns 10 truck loads of pots every morning, did you?

Let me do it.

You know I'm an expert porridge maker.

You've already burned some of the rice!

No, I'll do it.

No, you can't.

I'll do it.

No, I'll do it.

Will you? Here.

He's going to make the porridge, so let's drink some coffee.

Shall we?

Why those...

You should speak casually to me too.

We're all the same age.

But you're still my husband's upperclassman.

You really think I should?

Okay, I'll do it.

All right, then.

I feel awkward.

I'll do it next time, maybe over a drink.

But we've known one another for years.

We first met in Singapore in front of an elevator...

Please don't talk about that time.

And then the time you wore sexy clothes with a red wig...

Please, please forget about that time too.

Seung-wan, thanks for the porridge, but it's a little salty.

Just eat it.

It's hot, so blow on it.

You sure ask for a lot.

It's so hot!

I burned the roof of my mouth!

You're so gross!

Be quiet.

Why is it so quiet?

Where's Shin-bi? She must be so big.

She's with her grandfather.

Who does she take after?

Seung-wan says she's unpredictable like me and smart like him.

I have to admit it's true that she takes after Seung-wan more.

You were just being a baby when you asked me to run away with you.

You have a good memory. I forgot about that.

Now it's my turn to ask for help.

What help?

Would you take my hand and run away from this mundane life?

Chang-myung's looking for you, so go inside.

What's the matter with you?

What?

You were so rude back there.

Rude?

Who was rude to who?

Who else?

You were extremely rude to Do-hyun.

Do-hyun? Since when did you become so chummy with him?

Are you upset over Chae-young?

What?

How much longer are you going to dwell on the past?

I didn't know you were so easy.

How could you flirt with that playboy?

What?

"Please forget about that time."

Just what happened that you want him to forget?

Are you jealous because he's more attractive than you?

Or do you feel inferior?

What?

Chae-young chose him because you're so petty!

What?

A man should be dependable and cool.

When are you going to stop being so immature?

You're Shin-bi's dad, but more immature than her!

What?

Here.

What's this?

The company has a favorable working environment for married women.

Where did you get the application?

I was going to apply there.

Chae-young gave it to me.

She knew you were looking for a job.

I didn't want to hurt your pride,

but you don't have any left anyway.

Did you see Chae-young?

Yes, I did. So what?

I should get down on my knees and beg her to forgive me for the way I hurt her.

But she's so cool about my mistakes.

Han Seung-wan!

You're hurting my ears!

Hello?

Shin-bi!

Shin-bi?

Yes, it's Mommy.

Aunt taught me English.

I made a present for you and Dad.

I'll give it to you later.

A present? Can you tell me what it is?

It's a secret.

All right, tell me later. Promise.

Okay.

Promise your daddy too.

Okay, promise, Daddy.

I'll come and get you, but until then listen to your grandpa and eat well.

Okay.

Don't fight with the twins, and don't throw tantrums

just because you miss me.

I miss you.

I miss you so much too. Bye.

Don't hang up.

Hello? It's Daddy, Shin-bi.

Hello? Hello?

She hung up!

I miss Shin-bi.

Me too.

Shin-bi.

Shin-bi, Shin-bi.

Are you sleeping?

Yes, I'm sleeping.

You're going to catch a cold if you leave the window open.

Let's go.

Shin-bi!

Shin-bi!

- Family. Mom and Dad, Shin-bi loves you. -

Family. Mom and Dad, Shin-bi loves you.

Mom and Dad, Shin-bi loves you.

I made a decision.

I'm going to get a job at this company.

You don't have to. I overreacted earlier.

No, I'm thankful to Chae-young.

Actually, I felt embarrassed about not getting a job.

So I lied and told her I worked for that company.

But she still got me an application without letting on about the lie. I guess she really is cool.

And if I get the job, my lie won't be a lie anymore.

But won't it hurt your pride to get a job there?

No. I was foolish about pampering my pride when getting a job is so difficult.

I'm going to get a job at this company

and bring Shin-bi back home.

I'll make sure I get the job for Shin-bi.

Okay, I'll help you.

Aja!

Since you're married, they'll be sure to ask you

whether you'd choose your child over your job.

Would you choose to raise your child or go to work?

Of course, I'd choose my child.

That's the wrong answer.

Don't look so tense. Relax your shoulders.

Smile.

Would you choose to raise your child or go to work?

I believe most mothers would choose their children over work.

You're not on a date. Stop twisting your body.

You told me to relax my shoulders.

Let's do it again.

Would you choose to raise your child or go to work?

It's unfortunate such a question needs to be asked.

I think it would be best if the government improved childcare facilities, so that the workforce has more choices.

Great!

Now you need to give a cynical smile.

A cynical smile?

Yes. You need to look knowing.

Smile.

Not like that.

You look like you want to fight.

Smile.

You look weird. Look at me.

My killer smile...

Copy me.

Never mind about smiling. Let's practice walking.

What are you doing?

You're walking like a robot. Too rigid.

Is this a beauty pageant?

Okay.

Okay?

Good!

Chew well.

Eat at least half of it.

Yes?

Shin-bi, enjoy your meal.

I miss you, Jung Se-jin.

What did you just say? Jung Se-jin?

You shouldn't call your mother by her name.

Why not? Daddy calls her Jung Se-jin.

I miss you, Han Seung-wan.

Here's a picture of a stork. It's a bird.

It says here that the Korean stork is national treasure number 199.

It's 112 cm in length.

Uncle, Grandpa told me that a stork was my mom,

so why don't I look anything like a stork?

That's because a stork is a bird,

so it looks nothing like you, pretty girl.

Then does a Korean crow look like me?

It doesn't look like you.

Where do storks live?

Well... You want to know where storks live?

Yes, tell me.

Okay, I'll draw a map.

See, this is your grandpa's house.

Here's the bus stop.

Take the number 1 bus and go...

Ma'am, how do I go there?

How do I look? Do I look a little unfashionable?

No.

I look okay?

You look very unfashionable.

Everything looks like children's clothing on you.

I have 2 interviews today.

Wait for me.

I'm going to be late.

Let's hurry.

But what about your school?

It's okay. I'll call Chang-myung later.

Here we are.

Bye.

Wait!

Okay?

Bye.

Hey!

I didn't know which one to buy, so I bought one of each.

Return the ones you don't need at the store downstairs.

Han Seung-wan.

I was so embarrassed buying this stuff, I thought I'd die.

Go inside.

You have to gather your thoughts before the interview.

Okay, go before you're late for school.

Good luck on your interview. Fighting!

Hi.

It's the laptop you wanted.

Really?

How much?

How much do you want?

Six.

Six hundred dollars? Too expensive.

Five hundred.

I can't go below $600.

Then $300.

How can you say that when I said it's $600?

Don't you know that used goods go down

in value with every passing second?

$500.

I'm sad that friends have to make a deal.

I'll buy it from someone else.

Okay, wait. $400.

What a family man has to do for his family...

I can give you $350.

$350?

You're robbing me blind.

Take it or leave it.

$350.

Hi.

I'm the new Marketing Department manager, Lee Chae-young.

What can I do for you?

Can I get a list of applicants for the marketing department?

Sure, I'll get it for you.

- JUNG SE-JIN. -

Thank you.

Bye.

What is it?

Were you sleeping just now?

I was up late last night doing my homework.

You mean work that your stepmother gave you?

That's right.

You know interviews are being conducted today?

Really? I'm not interested.

But I've prepared a special present for you.

You shouldn't miss it.

A present?

Did my oldest brother put you up to this?

Why the pressure?

Just come to the office.

Something interesting will be waiting.

The stork's house is my house!

Mom, Dad, it's Shin-bi.

It's a lie.

It's a lie! It can't be true!

Do you live here?

What's your dad's name?

It's crow.

Crow?

Then what's your mom's name?

It's stork.

Jung Se-jin, Park Jae-sook, and Lee Young-ho.

- I'LL FORGIVE YOU, SO COME BACK TO ME. -

Se-jin,

you looked pretty today...

Because you're by my side...

You're the best. You'll do well.

You're dead if I hear a cell phone ring.

We'll learn more about F4s today.

Your mom and dad are not answering?

No.

Thank you.

- Do you know your grandpa's number? - I do.

Then let's call him. What's his number?

Mom said not to give strangers my phone number.

But I'm your mom and dad's friend.

I even remember when you were a baby. Don't you remember me?

No.

How can I prove this?

Your father's studying to be a pilot.

How did you know that?

I too was studying to be a pilot.

See, I even have a plane.

It looks just like my dad's.

We got it at school. I went to the same school as your dad.

So trust me, and give me your grandpa's number.

You still don't trust me?

I don't want to go to grandpa's house, and I don't like the twins.

I want to wait here and see Han Seung-wan and Jung Se-jin.

Did you come for market research again?

What are you doing here?

I have something to do here.

Did you apply for a job here too? Thanks for the application.

Don't mention it.

I never thought you'd actually come.

I thought it would hurt your pride to work for me.

What are you talking about?

- MARKETING MANAGER LEE CHAE-YOUNG. -

Do you work here?

We may see each other a lot.

But of course, there's no guarantee you'll get the job.

But good luck on your interview anyway.

Where do they sell clothes like that?

They're so out of style.

Which one's better? Which one should I buy?

Just pick any one of those. They won't change anything.

Don't you know women are weak when it comes to presents?

You have to invest to move a woman's heart!

It's pretty!

- Try the other one. - Another one?

Good. Try that one too.

Good.

Are you going to give it to your girlfriend?

Yes. How much is it?

It's 30% off, so it's $570.

It's cheap for such a nice design.

Are you going to buy it for Se-jin?

No, I never said that.

So you two finally did it the night you lit all the candles?

What are you looking at that for?

I want to give it to Shin-bi. She'll look so pretty playing the piano with this on.

It won't fit her! It's too big.

Give it back, jerk.

Tell the truth. You want to buy it for Se-jin?

No.

Yes, you do. You're acting strange today.

I told you, it's not for her.

It's a bear.

Let's go inside.

Who's that.

He had a kid?

Did your mom teach you to say that?

Dad taught me that to get money from Grandpa.

So typical of him. And what else?

This means I should say I love you.

This means I should sing and then hug my grandpa.

We practiced this.

Who's that punk?

You don't have to know.

You're putting too much in.

What's wrong with you? You messed it up!

- That's great! - Do you like it?

I put my heart into making it. Enjoy.

Oh, no! Oh my!

What should I do?

It's all right.

I should wipe that. This is terrible.

Yes?

I'll be at the interview.

You have an interview?

Take it off.

It's okay.

I can wash it, and then dry it in the oven.

It's all right, really.

Shin-bi, stay here with your aunt, ok?

Where are you going?

I have to go to work. See you again.

I'm sorry.

Mister, I want to go with you.

Shin-bi, you shouldn't cry. Stay here with me.

I'm going to scold you if you keep crying.

Excuse me.

Il-jin told me to give it to you.

She wishes you luck on your interview.

I'm number 47, Park Jung-hyun.

I'm number 48, Jung Se-jin.

I'm number 49, Jung Yoon-jung.

You sure rebel in strange ways.

Shin-bi, look at me.

Should I do the woodpecker?

I want to play with him.

He had to go to an interview.

I want my mommy.

Shin-bi! Please stop.

Did you give it to Do-hyun? Did he seem very upset?

I'm the one who's upset.

What's with him?

That boy's getting on my nerves lately.

Shin-bi.

Shin-bi!

Where did she go? Shin-bi!

Ms. Jung Se-jin, why do you think we should hire you?

Because of my child bearing experience.

I believe my experience and knowledge could be helpful to the company.

Your experience in raising a child?

Then we should only hire mothers?

We are a company dedicated to children.

And you're going to let someone else watch your child while you work for other children?

Don't you find that a little ironic?

This is no volunteer work. My family's welfare depends on my job.

Earning money means I'm fulfilling my duty to my family.

I don't think it's that simple.

Everyone's eager in the beginning.

But what about when you have a meeting with a client, or when you have to go on business trips,

or when you're preparing a big project?

We need people who can work long hours despite their kids being sick.

We can't have people going home early to take care of their children.

Can you say you won't do that?

It's difficult, isn't it?

You can't abandon your maternal instincts and duties as a mother.

If you do, your job will suffer.

But that's the reality.

Next, Mr. Kim Jong-ho.

I would like to say something before I leave.

You have something left to say? But we don't have time...

Let's hear her out.

Go ahead.

No matter what happens, my child is my top priority.

If you ask me why I want to earn money,

the answer is both men and women should work for their families.

Not understanding what parents go through to raise a child,

I don't know how you're running such a company.

Unless there's a solution to childcare issues,

so that working mothers can concentrate on work,

many women will face the same dilemma.

With society dictating that mothers have the responsibility of raising children.

I believe that's where the problem lies.

Ms. Jung Se-jin.

Yes?

You should run for office. It's a faster solution.

Yes, I was actually thinking about that.

Thank you for listening to me.

What did you just say?

You said Se-jin has an interview at Kids Bear.

And?

I would've told Do-hyun about it if I knew.

Why would you tell him about her interview?

Didn't you know his family owns the company?

What?

He went abroad to study, so he could run the company.

He's a marketing department director now.

Is that true?

He's my roommate. Of course it's true.

And I even took a plant to his office recently.

You must've been very worried, Seung-pil.

Don't worry about Shin-bi. She's with me.

Han Shin-bi, what if you got lost?

Would you like it if you never saw your dad and me again?

I'm sorry, Mom.

What's this?

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Don't ever go out of the house alone, okay?

Okay

It's the mister!

Brave girl!

Shin-bi, do you know him?

Yes, I'm going to marry him.

What?

I brought her here because she was alone at the house.

I see.

Your interview was very touching.

Don't make fun of me. I want to crawl into a hole.

It was touching enough to move a terrorist.

It wasn't enough to move the interviewer.

You did well.

Everyone must've been taken aback.

It was refreshingly shocking since it's never happened before.

Seung-wan, what are you doing?

Chae-young.

You're not here to see me... Did you come to look for Se-jin?

The interviews were over a while ago.

What are you doing here?

Don't tell me that you...

Let's have some coffee.

What's the meaning of this?

What do you mean?

You never told me you worked here.

I never told you I didn't.

We need to talk.

What's your reason?

Reason?

Why did you recommend that Se-jin apply?

You wouldn't feel comfortable working with her.

I was just being helpful.

Is that all there is to it?

What else could there be?

What?

All right, I'll be honest.

Actually...

I didn't get the application for her.

Then who did?

Do-hyun got the application for her.

Why would he do that?

Didn't you know?

Didn't I know what?

Do-hyun likes Se-jin.

Why isn't she picking up?

I got you!

Why did you let him catch you?

She's so fast.

Do-hyun got the application for her.

Do-hyun likes Se-jin.
