My second daughter
studied English literature too
She's living in America now
It's been 2 years
My eldest daughter
is working at the nuclear hospital
- You know, the one in Hagae-dong - I see
She got married last year
After all the fuss about studying in Germany,
she chose to be someone's wife
I thought she was the scholar in the family...
But now she's a mother of two
How I adore my grandchildren
Could you lend me an ethics textbook?
I sell our national flags
Customers keep asking me how to raise a flag
The first page on the school ethics book
- explains how the Korean flag... - Miss Kim!
Yes sir!
Go talk to her over there
- I need an ethics textbook - What kind?
The one for 6th graders...
The after-school aptitude program
is such a headache
The Education Board's so persistent about it
Early spoken English education
is extremely crucial
To the children,
Iearning English should be fun
Raise your arms straight up!
JEALOUSY IS MY MIDDLE NAME
What's so different about me and him?
What does it matter?
I'm sorry...
Sorry's such an easy word for you!
- This is exactly what I hate... - So what do you hate about me?
Let's talk later
This isn't the right time
It's me, Naekyung
Are you there?
Yeah
What were you doing?
I was wiping the floor
I'm sorry
I didn't want you to find out like this
I was planning to tell you when I was ready
How thoughtful
How can you say it like that!
I don't know what Jungwoon has told you,
- but the editor and I... - Let's drop the subject
I'll try to forget everything
SOMEONE HAS CANCELLED OUT PLEASE FILL IN
AND TURN YOUR CELL PHONE ON - JUNGWOON
Thank you for tuning into us until this hour...
Good job
- There's only one file, right? - Yes
These are all special features
Yeah, but the foreign author story isn't a one-time thing
It's been running from early this year
Then why didn't you give me any research material?
- You know I'm not a Duras fan... - Yeah, sorry...
Hey you!
We need to talk!
When you're writing for us, do it right!
You should know better!
I never asked for a thesis!
You must've patched the story with quotes anyway!
So why can't you match the deadline?
What's your name?
Lee Wonsang...
- Sir, you've got it all wrong... - You're as responsible as he!
Tons of big-shot writers think it's okay to be late!
Even more than you can imagine!
If we accept every late hand-in,
We'll never have time to print and to publish!
- But he filled in... - Yeah, whatever. No use for words
Just make sure you've corrected every error!
You writers should know your grammar!
Hello?
Five o'clock... wait
Sorry for shouting. Just do it right
Yeah, Heejung wanted another drink
About the...
foreign author story...
You said it's a series, right?
Can I...
have that job?
What do you mean?
You said you're hiring guest writers I can do that job
This isn't about something else, is it?
Is it because of Naekyung?
Forget her!
Hey!
Ahn Byungil!
Stop there!
Where've you been all this time!
Hey!
If you ever miss your military physical evaluation again,
I'm never letting you in this house, ever!
Hey!
What's the big deal about the evaluation!
Hey!
This is my last warning!
You hear!
Answer me! Are you listening to me!
ANIMAL SHELTER
I hope you don't think all
veterinarians refuse to wear gloves
I like it this way as it feels more accurate
Did I pull the wrong organ out?
The stomach and the uterus are so identical...
I should hurry before the anesthesia wears off...
Sorry, but can you hand me a gauze?
You're the magazine guy who called earlier, right?
Yes, I am Lee Wonsang
I'm sorry
I'm usually done at this hour, but I had an emergency patient
Could you rub her with this towel,
then put her into that basket?
I wonder how many are inside...
A surgery
Surgery?
I'm at the animal hospital
Remember the photographer you wanted to hire?
She asked me to help her with a surgery
Yeah? She's a vet?
We're drinking here, at my place
Where is he? If he's with a woman, tell him to bring her
Want to come?
Bring the vet if she wants to come
- Junghwan! - Come out!
- Junghwan! - What for?
- What's the matter? - My face is all red!
Don't worry
Can you scoot in?
- Then I'll sit next to Yookyung - Yeah, great
You want to sit next to me?
Yeah, let's sit together
We'll pretend to look quite cozy
What if they get the wrong idea?
I closed my eyes
- Really? - Yeah!
- What took you so long? - Drinks are coming!
I was late for this
Pass me the bag
It's the whiskey I bought
with my first part-time job pay check in university
It's the cheapest kind, Captain Q!
- Let me see - Okay
Never seen this brand, huh?
What else did he get?
Wait
- You took mine before - There's some film left
The editor must've seen my photos somewhere
I took some for a theater poster
The oily dishes go to the left
Aren't you nervous of starting something new?
I used to shoot photos for the school paper
I guess it's the same thing?
That's for rinsing
Is it too complicated? I'll do it
But doesn't your current job give you more stability?
Yeah, but that just happened
Veterinary medicine major was not my first choice
But I did pretty well
So I guess nothing really is a coincidence
You're so optimistic
I'm late
THE BRITISH COUNCIL
So this is why you wanted to meet here?
My brother went to England to study
I guess you want to become a scholar?
For once, I want to live in a foreign place
- These are the photos? - Pass them on to the others
I like them...
Have you thought about the job offer...
I guess not? Since you already have a job...
Well...
I'm not sure yet
How are the puppies and their mom?
I don't know. I go to the shelter only 3 days a week...
I should have called before coming
The puppies would have liked it
We'll come again next time...
This, I used to be good at in school It saved me from the bullies
Want to try?
I'm terrible at sports
I can't even manage one
Your face has turned red
Five fried noodles, and a medium sweet and sour pork
No, make that a large one
And add Chinese liquor
- About three bottles! - What're you doing?
Wonsang, want a bowl of noodles?
- Join us for lunch - No thanks. I'm going out
Okay, that'll be all... Yes...
Byungil won't come home His room's a bit chilly
So, I'm fixing the heating before it gets colder
You know what you're doing, right?
The man at the hardware store
introduced me to these handymen
They're nice and cheap
We'll get hot water as well
Don't worry, I won't raise your rent
What are you thinking?
It's not the editor's fault
It was I who had feelings for him
Say something!
Stop rocking the chair like that!
How royal you are to him!
Did you tell him?
- You did, huh? - About what?
That you, Wonsang's girlfriend,
were still in love with him, and that he shouldn't dump you?
How dare you!
Quit the magazine!
Wonsang, this is so unlike you...
The magazine has nothing to do with you
Heavy, isn't it?
- What is it? - My toy I bought in Japan
By the way, can you drive?
- Yes... - Then drive
I used to drive in the U.S., but never here
The company gave me this car,
but I find it a nuisance
Besides, cab fare in Seoul is cheap
Could you turn off the radio?
How about some music? Have any music on you?
This could drive you nuts...
This'll be mellow
It makes me want to throw up
I'm sorry
Why can't I be more considerate?
You'll find mineral water there
They say the water's purified
Still, I can't touch anything that passed through shit and urine
- Have we guests? - Oh, you're here
- That's it? - Yeah
Where did you get those pants? They're so tacky
They are, aren't they?
Say hello. Lee Wonsang, the new writer
- Hello - And my wife, Yoon Junghye
Would you like some tea?
- How about you? Coffee? - Yeah, two coffees
Have a seat
This is called a Medi keyboard
Press a key and a music score appears on the computer
Interesting, huh?
Do you know how to set up a computer?
I can read the English manual but I'm terrible with computers
Read this
Why is everything so complicated these days?
Computers, driving...
Then...
Would you like me to drive the company car?
I could drive you from home to work
It'll help me warm up to my job
And your place is on the way, so it's actually quite convenient...
Sounds good enough for me
Do you have something to say?
Why are you tagging me around?
We're supposed to go to the pool today
You will go, won't you?
I can't
I have to go to my editor's place
What are you talking about?
He wants me to take a look at his computer
But you promised!
No I didn't! You just decided on you own
It's too small...
I should have tried it on first
But for sale items, you can't...
Hello?
- Are you Mr. Han Yoonshik? - Yes
- I'm Lee Wonsang's sister - I see
Please speak
Why do you ask so much from your employees?
Constant drinking, driving the boss's car, working on weekends...
My brother's not that fit you know
What I'm trying to say is...
You can't get good stories by working your employees like dogs
I often read your magazine...
Hello?
Are you still there?
Good job. Thanks
I won't have to be bored anymore
Hey, do you have a sister?
No, I don't. Why?
No, never mind
You're here
Say hello, he works for me
My daughter, Meerim
- Did you have something to drink? - You should have dried your hair
You can go now
What? Something wrong?
Tomorrow, 10 am!
- Hey, Do it again! Do it again! - That's not fair!
Do it again!
More! More!
No! No!
Your turn, Sungyeon
I bet Sungyeon will lose
She's right on the danger zone
Wow, how's that possible?
I'm sure she'll bring killer photos to our magazine
Liquor pouring skills have nothing to do with photography
Don't try to intimidate me
Bravo, bravo, bravo!
Wonsang, you're next Yeah, Wonsang
We can take him out Definitely this time!
Be generous
You lose!
Tomorrow will be a new day!
Taxi! Taxi!
Isn't this a one-way street?
No. Taxi!
You go first, sir
It won't take that long
Here we go
You can take the company car I'll drive you home
Not in that condition
Then, I know Sungyeon's place...
I'll take her...
And there goes another virgin
Sungyeon! How about another drink?
Mister...
Can you stop here?
What for, I don't see a bar...
Why here, huh?
No, wait!
Keep the change. Keep it!
Sungyeon!
I understand what you're saying
I would if I just could
No, I want to
I want to sleep with you...
I do...
But it's the alcohol that's talking The alcohol...
Nothing else
- Do you get what I'm saying? - I get it. I do
We must be clear about this!
It's nothing more than that!
I'll get my swimsuit We'll go if it fits
Okay
The door was open
I came to pick your husband up...
He didn't come home last night
The welcome party for the new photographer
ended very late... He said he was going straight to the office...
But the welcome party ended around 1 am...
I guess he had more drinks with his co-workers
I left early
I see...
He should have called you
- I'm sorry you had to come for nothing - It's no big deal
I'll be on my way. Good day
- Take care - Thank you
- Welcome - Hello
Didn't you have a second floor?
Yes but now we only serve on the first floor
- Really? - Yes sir
- How many people, sir? - Two
I see. This way, sir
Great view
Care for a drink?
How about a cocktail?
What?
I'm happy, that's all
He was divorced with a daughter, in elementary school...
He had to see her off to school So, he always left early
Usually, it's the woman who leaves right after sex
He was different
I liked this about him though...
Why won't you let me kiss you?
Come on, you're not listening
Do you smoke a lot?
- I guess - That's fine with me...
Let's keep this our little secret Don't tell anyone
Don't you have anything to say to me?
Who me?
I do
Whatever it was, our business ends here!
Thank you very much
Who was that?
Someone you know?
He's my father-in-law
Thank you. Let's go
Wonsang...
The fine yarn is 4,000 Won The heavy thread 5,000
And this one is 4,500
The cross-stitch thread
and that knitting needle has price tags on them so...
You have your mobile, right?
I'll take care of things here, so call me if you need to
Stop rushing for Christ's sake!
It's not the first time anyway
Dad's been out for a day, but never for two days, never!
The police have found him Be thankful for that
EUNHYE YARN SHOP
So you're going to wait there all night?
Dad told me to wait here...
He said he was going to pee
So you trusted a man who isn't in his right mind?
But I couldn't embarrass him by tagging along to the toilet...
Just come home. Wait here, until the police finds him
You go home after closing the shop
I'm going to wait here a bit longer
I've already closed the shop and came home
Get up
Why are you here?
- Let's go - I'm not going!
Do you know what time it is?
If you're so worried, why aren't you looking for him?
Do you think he'll come to you if you're sitting here like this?
Stop acting like a fool and go home!
Come on!
Did you have anything to eat?
You work part-time jobs like this?
What brings you all the way over here?
You've been a bit distant lately
What's the matter?
Nothing
I work here during the weekends The pay is good
Except for fixing toilets clogged with feminine napkins,
it's not so bad
I just have to put this away
You've come all this way, I'll treat you to a drink
Hello?
It's me!
I've nothing more to say
You make it hard not to call!
Why? Are you worried that I would say something to him? !
No, I take that back...
I can't talk here. I'm hanging up
Let's go
Where to?
Home
I don't have a home...
What do you mean? You live in Songpa-dong
That's not a home
No one's there
No food...
What kind of home is like that?
I don't have a home
Sungyeon
Please don't sleep with the editor Okay?
Please don't
Okay?
If you already have,
then don't anymore
If you need to sleep with someone,
then do it with me I'm pretty good in bed!
Good? Who did you fuck lately?
The ex-girlfriend you just broke up with?
Don't talk about her!
It's a waste of time!
You still love her, don't you?
Sungyeon...
Sungyeon, Sungyeon!
You don't understand!
Just don't sleep with him
Promise me you won't sleep with him again
Promise me, promise, promise...!
Okay? Promise me!
- Try this, it has a great taste - Yes sir
I usually light my cigarettes with matches. It enhances the taste
It's the octagonal box matches
Yes, they're hard to find these days
My wife used to collect them
Want to try a cigar?
- But I haven't finished this - Is that so?
Just sample the taste You don't have to finish it
Yes sir...
Nice
How's your health these days?
Cigarettes are poison to the heart
Friends know I'm such a smoker, and bring them in boxes
- Want some? There's plenty - No sir, it's okay
I've been smoking more after my wife passed away
I never knew when she was alive,
but she was the most important person in my life
Men tend to forget this
As life goes on, things change
I don't want to spend my life with regrets
That lady's quite a character
She wished us happiness
Hello?
I'm close to the office
I had a couple of drinks with my co-workers
I'll be late
Yeah, don't wait up
She's being such a nag
There's a fish cake vendor Let's get some, okay?
Ma'am! Where did she go?
What a mess...
Eat, it's good
- You go first - Try it. It's good
Good, isn't it? What?
Why are you laughing?
Huh, what?
Let's go to a motel
Why, huh?
What is it?
I just thought of something someone had said
I feel like doing the exact opposite
I don't know what it is, but I'm not complaining
Why are you so quiet?
I want to go home
You do?
