I saw him, Eun-sung. It was really your dad.
No, I don't believe you.
I won't believe it until I see him myself, Mother.
I said I saw him.
It might not be my dad!
Do you think what I saw was wrong, but what you will see is right?
Here. Look.
Dad.
Dad!
Once I file all documents,
when will I get the death benefit?
Are you all right now?
I will go and get Eun-u.
Why do you want to bring Eun-u?
You know he is better alone.
It's because...
Eun-u is the chief mourner.
Just because he is a son?
Don't bring him here.
I will tell the maid to sleep over tonight.
Mother.
Don't you know he is scared of a strange place?
He will make a scene when it is already chaotic here.
I don't want him to cause trouble. The creditors might rush in at any time.
-But-- -No.
We will be the chief mourners. Bring him when we get the coffin out.
Eun-u is not stupid. Why are you doing this?
Hey, I raised him myself for seven years.
Have you treated him like this for all these years?
-What? -Eun-u...
Eun-u is Dad's son and my little brother.
Your dad?
You are right. Eun-u is his son and your brother.
Do as you please.
Eun-u.
Eun-u...
Dad...
Geez, why isn't she picking up the phone?
SUNGWOO CONSTRUCTION COMPANY GOES INTO BANKRUPTCY
-Thank you. -Have a good day.
Hello, Ms. Jang.
-Hey, give that to me. -Pardon?
Give me that 6,000 won.
Ms. Jang, money is dirty.
-Money is not dirty. It's scary. -Pardon?
Money is neither dirty nor good. It is something scary.
When you fear money,
it comes to you. There you go.
-I see. -My seolleongtang is on you today.
Me?
You don't deserve to be a submanager.
Boy, nothing is free in this world.
Don't you appreciate me that I give you a six-billion-won tip for 6,000 won?
What is wrong with her? She is 30 minutes late.
Why isn't she here after all that?
Let's go. Our friends must be waiting.
She is not going to come.
No? How do you know that?
Dude, I bet she looked into your bag.
She can make a fortune just by selling the stuff in your bag.
If that is the case...
She is a dead meat.
You will be dead first.
-Grandma! -Hello, ma'am.
Grandma, it has been so long!
I missed you!
You little brat!
It is unfortunate to run into you when I have other plans.
Shut up and let's go.
It's getting dark already. Can I go back tomorrow?
You should go home when it getting dark.
I have other plans, though.
I don't, ma'am. Bye.
Seong-cheol!
It has been a while, Hwan.
-Mr. Pyo. -Let's go.
Come back to Korea?
Isn't it meaningless to study abroad when you are not interested in studying?
Mother, did you bring Hwan home to quit his study abroad?
I fought against those guys
-because they pissed me-- -That is not the only reason.
Then what, Mother? Why are you doing this to Hwan?
Hwan,
you know what this company means to me, right?
When I was 19...
Grandma was widowed before Dad was born
and lived in starvation and tears during the Korean War.
Based on Jinsung Seolleongtang in Jongno,
she established a company with her precious son,
our dad, who passed away.
That is today's Jinsung food company.
That's right.
That was how your father and I did.
My son, Min-seok, once said,
"Mom, let's not settle for having a shelter and food for ourselves.
We have to share with single mothers like you."
Mother, why do you bring that up again?
Your father died young
at the age of 34
after planting the seeds of the dream.
I've heard the story for a thousand times.
Don't you feel the need to protect the company?
What do I need to protect when you are here?
Do I protect seolleongtang?
-Honey. -I'm old now.
The reaper comes to check on me every night.
Don't make a fuss.
How dare the reaper come for you?
Even if they come, you would kick their ass.
Are you going to keep acting like a baby?
Is she becoming senile?
How dare you!
She wants me to work at the restaurant, not the company.
I thought that was random, too.
But what can you do? You just have to go and work at the restaurant.
I'm not going.
Don't be like that. You should just work at the restaurant.
You caused a big trouble this time.
At least, pretend to follow her as she insists.
I am still jet-lagged.
I can't work from tomorrow.
MEMORIAL HALL
Mom.
-You have to hop in, Eun-u. -No.
You have to. You have to get in the car, Eun-u.
Why don't you listen to me? Get in the car!
Dad has to leave.
Eun-u!
Dad.
-What? -That's how
my dream has shattered into pieces.
So?
Are you saying you knew Eun-sung's father passed away,
but you didn't go to his funeral?
No, it's just that...
I wanted to avoid any responsibilities.
Jun-se, what's wrong?
-You jerk, how can you be so shallow? -Jun-se...
How can you hurt someone who is already in despair?
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG
Welcome!
Where is the manager?
Mr. Sunwoo Hwan?
I'm the manager, Lee Jun-hyeong.
You are very late. You have to be here by nine o'clock.
Though he is the chairman's grandson, he is still an employee like us.
That's Ms. Jang's intention, so help him to learn things fast.
-Yes. -Yes.
-Now, let's go back to work. -Okay.
Get changed and come out.
JINSUNG SEOLLEONGTANG SUBMANAGER SUNWOO HWAN
-Hey, Hwan. -Kiddo, I haven't heard from you for days.
Well...
You talked about the hospital before. Is your mother sick?
Don't say anything to Hwan. Never.
No, she is not.
Are you going back to the States?
I will be here for another seven to ten days. Call me before I leave.
Mr. Sunwoo, why didn't you get changed?
I was told to learn, not to get changed. My grandma said.
Follow me.
It's Ms. Jang's order.
Also, it's our company's rule to speak politely.
JINSUNG FOOD COMPANY
Check the supply and move these to the pantry.
What do you want me to do?
Excuse me, Mr. Sunwoo.
Have you forgotten what I said about the polite language?
That's the company's rule. Also, I'm your boss.
-So? -Mr. Sunwoo.
Mr. Lee, you don't like me, do you?
Then fire me.
I brought you porridge. Have some.
You have to eat for Father.
You have to eat to be strong.
INSURANCE CLAIM FORM
DEATH CERTIFICATE
Mom.
Your daughters have the seizure notice.
Mom, what do we do now?
Didn't you see this coming when the creditors came to the funeral?
Open it!
-Open the door! -Open it!
Should we just break the door?
REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE
As you all know,
I found out about my husband's situation after his death.
I didn't know about his company's bankruptcy
and that this house went to the creditor.
Now, the bank owns the family's burial grounds.
He even withdrew installment savings and insurance money.
I found out about everything after his death.
Why are you telling me this?
I didn't know he would pass away after a mess like this!
Are you pretending to be broke, so that you won't pay me back?
I don't know how much he owes you.
I saw you for the first time at his funeral.
What about the compensation for the accident?
That's right.
Here are the agreement for accident compensation,
the bankbook with that money, and my bankbook. Take a look.
If you think you can get more out of me, please leave.
Otherwise, let's divide the money according to the IOU.
-That's absurd! -I can give up the inheritance!
If I give up the inheritance, I have nothing to do with the debt.
But I still let you in with the intention to pay you back.
My husband died without telling me about the situation,
and I don't want to be harassed when he died and left me with nothing!
You all knew him.
Please leave me some money to rent a room.
Thank you.
I didn't know you were having a hard time.
-Piano! I have to play the piano! -Stop it.
-Piano! -It's okay.
I have to play the piano.
-Eun-u. -Piano.
-Eun-u! -Eun-sung!
-Open the door! Piano! -Eun-u.
Mother, why is Eun-u's room locked?
I locked it so he can't touch the piano.
Calm him down and take him to your room.
You can't just lock his room.
Don't you know he only goes into his room?
Give me the key.
He can't remove the seizure stickers.
Where is the key? Where is it?
-Piano! Door! -Eun-u, it's all right.
Can you handle it?
If you open the door
and he removes the sticker on the piano, can you handle the aftermath?
Piano.
Don't worry. It's all right.
Seung-mi.
Take him out and buy him a hamburger.
-Why, Mom? -Just take him out.
And you, we need to talk.
Since you and I are both tired,
let's settle this quickly.
What are you going to do?
-What? -You saw and heard it yourself.
The house belongs to the person whose name is provisionally registered.
They want us to leave the house by the day after tomorrow.
What do I do now?
Wait, didn't you figure out where to go with Eun-u
when you were lying down for days after your dad's funeral?
What?
Don't tell me
you were going to stay with us, right?
Bulgogi burger is delicious.
Sure, let's have that then.
-Burger and coke! -Yes, let's have coke, too.
My wallet.
You want me to take Eun-u?
Until I find a place to stay.
Please take care of him
until I get the money to rent a place.
-A month at the longest-- -Hey.
That's not going to happen.
As you know, I can barely afford a room.
I can't let Seung-mi and Eun-u share a room.
-Mother. -There is no reason to do so
since your father is gone.
How could you...
I thought we were a family.
A family?
Did you say a family?
Do you even know what that is?
A family has can never be separated even if you hate each other so much.
Not because you like them, but because you can't live without them.
Do you still think we are a family?
Your dad makes me sad and pathetic until the very end.
Honey,
we have to stay
at my friend's house until we find a place to live.
Quit it.
You don't need to say more. I get it.
We will leave.
In fact, we will go now.
You came back already?
Mom, how can you do this?
How can you tell Eun-sung and Eun-u to leave right away?
She doesn't even have a place to go.
Then,
do you want to live with them in a tiny room?
Do you want me to make a living for them?
Mom... How could you stoop so low?
Seung-mi, aren't you going to marry Hwan?
What does he have to do with this?
Now that Eun-sung's father is gone,
do you think you can marry him?
Your mom is officially a widow for the second time.
Now, you have to look after a stepbrother who has autism.
Can you tell that to Hwan?
Even if Hwan is all right with it, what about his grandmother and Yeong-ran?
Do you think his family will accept you?
Then don't make a scene when you have no idea.
Thank you for everything.
Eun-u, say goodbye.
Mom, see you later.
Here.
Take this for Eun-u.
TAXI
Where to?
-To a hotel. -Which hotel?
A clean one.
A clean...
and inexpensive one.
Eun-u, isn't this place nice?
Wow, look at that.
Daddy not here.
-Go home. Let's go, Eun-sung. -Eun-u, look at this.
Ta-da!
Eun-u, play this.
Let's sit.
Let's go in.
With the deposit of 1.5 million won,
you can only afford to live in Incheon, Anyang or Suwon.
RECONSTRUCTION CONSULTING
I can't.
I have to stay in Seoul because of my brother's school.
Then you have to get more money.
Goodness.
Eun-u!
Oh, my!
Oh, no!
What happened to Eun-u? Who did this to him?
I think he finds his father's death and new environment difficult.
He was unstable during the class. Then he caused trouble during lunch.
I think it's better for him to stay home until he gets used to the new environment.
I'm very sorry, but...
Could you take care of Eun-u until I find a place to stay?
Sure. My daughter's friend is my daughter.
Thank you.
Mom, Eun-u is very quiet.
He stays quiet all day unless someone bothers him.
He kind of lives in his own world.
No need to say more. I took care of my nephews, too.
I will try to find a place
and get a part-time job as fast as I could.
I will take Eun-u as soon as possible.
Good gracious.
How can this happen to the rich family like yours?
Gee. Why is the housekeeper still not here?
Mom, talk to me now. What is this place?
Aren't we broke?
I barely borrowed the money.
Did you say you borrowed it?
Hello? This is the family who just moved in today.
You should have brought Eun-sung and Eun-u then.
It's not apartment 403. It's 503.
At least, until Eun-sung finds a place.
They were so desperate!
Desperate?
Do you know what that is?
Those people ask for your heart when you give them a hand.
"Until I find the place." Sure.
"Until I find a job." Sure thing.
Then do you think she will move out after all?
We can live with them considering Dad.
How dare you say that?
Why do you tell me to endure it when I say I can't?
If we live with them,
I am the one who cooks, takes Eun-u to school, and makes money.
What are you going to do?
Don't try to act nice when I have to bear all responsibilities.
Don't you know that I am doing this for you?
Let's forget about it.
Let's forget everything
and start over.
-Piano, my piano! -Oh, dear!
-Piano! -What is wrong with him?
-Piano! -Hey, won't you stop?
-Piano! -I would rather give Eun-sung money
-than to bear him! -Piano!
Piano.
Piano!
I don't think your grandson wants to learn, Ms. Jang.
He is not used to it
since he just got back from the States.
Other employees feel uneasy because he is your successor.
Mr. Lee,
you are the one who feels uncomfortable.
I'm sorry.
You, take off your name tag right now.
I gave you the title of the manager at the main store for a reason.
Why do you care about Hwan?
I told you to teach him, not to treat him like you treat me.
It is his fourth day at work, but he has never been on time.
He occupies the manager's office and kills time.
How pathetic that you serve tea and chat with girls over food!
Come on, Father.
Two years are enough for you to do whatever you want.
Now join the company and learn the business.
Why do I join that company?
Where's your ambition? Are you going to settle for selling foods?
Your company is for Hwan.
He has no future whatsoever.
No matter how desperate Ms. Jang is, she won't give her company to him.
He can't handle it.
So you should have it after me.
I have devoted my life to the company after giving up my career as an attorney.
I have a dream, too.
It is to grow this restaurant.
Why do you take a baby step when you can run?
Jinsung is already a semi-conglomerate.
It is not fun to take others' credits.
I want to succeed by doing what I love.
It is no fun to take others' credit.
It depends on how you think of it.
You can grow the company into a larger one.
Right? It depends on how I think of it.
Still, I don't feel it, Father.
Her father died in the accident. His company went bankrupt.
How can these happen in one day?
-Meat! I want meat! -Stop it.
-I need to eat meat. -What about a burger?
-Meat! -I'm sorry.
Dad.
Dad!
Dude, why do you take others' pillows instead of playing alone?
You are a weirdo.
-Play by yourself. -Eun-u!
-Bastard! -What are you doing?
-Eun-u, are you all right? -Is he your brother?
Why does he take the little ones' pillows?
-Why do you hit him, though? -I told him to stop,
but he pushes me and all.
If your brother is retarded, don't take him around.
Good gracious. Let's go, guys.
Mister!
ENTRANCE
Let's go, Sister.
Let's go.
Eun-u.
-Where should we go? -Dad.
I want to see Dad.
Dad?
Should we?
Should we go
and see Dad?
Eun-u, come up here. It's nice.
Isn't it nice?
Close your eyes,
and feel the breeze.
It's nice, isn't it?
It's nice.
Let's fly, Eun-u.
Fly and...
meet Mom and Dad.
Meet Mom and Dad.
Let's go.
I like my sister.
I like my sister, too.
I'm happy.
Eun-u!
I am sorry, Eun-u.
I'm sorry.
It is my fault. Sorry.
I am sorry.
Sorry.
Did you say you want our franchise?
Come on. Your husband makes big money.
He is in Vietnam for business, you know.
It is going to take several years. Now that kids are all grown up,
I don't feel good about slacking off when I am sound and healthy.
Our company's franchise...
Your mother-in-law
doesn't give out franchise easily, does she?
Most of the stores are managed directly. About 90 percent.
Yeong-ran, I didn't mean to give you pressure. I hate to do that.
No, that's not it.
I think it is a bad idea to do business with in-law's families.
In-law's family?
What are you talking about? It is important that they love each other.
You don't want Hwan as your son-in-law, do you?
He is not good enough for your smart and pretty daughter.
-That's not it. -Come on.
Hwan still has a good background, though.
Yeong-ran.
All I want is...
I just want my daughter to be happy.
What's life?
It's about spending time with someone you love and understand,
The background is nothing.
That's what I'm saying.
Considering Seung-mi and your husband, you can get a great son-in-law.
To be honest,
I want Hwan because of you.
Me?
They say the world has changed,
but the marriage isn't just about the two people.
You will be a great mother-in-law. Seung-mi will be lucky to have you.
Do you really mean it?
Hey, Hwan is still young,
but he must have inherited the personality of you and Min-seok.
You talk so nicely.
I wondered if you knew, In-yeong.
No?
In-yeong, will you call me when Eun-sung calls you?
Are you out of your mind? Why do you look for her?
For what?
I heard Eun-u hasn't been attending school.
Did you go to Eun-u's school?
I was wondering where and how they live.
Why do you jump into the fire with dynamite in your hand?
-What do you mean? -Don't do anything stupid.
-Hello? -Hello?
-Hye-ri. -Huh? Eun-sung!
Ko Eun-sung!
I came to meet a person who works here.
It has been so long, Eun-u.
I used to make you ttakji all the time.
Ttakji! The gangster sister folded me ttakji.
You have a good memory.
You are much better than your sister.
-Hye-ri. -Gee.
How can you not recognize your friend's face?
How have you been?
You can turn me down, Hye-ri.
-I understand. -You bitch!
Who do you think I am?
Why did come to me after all the bullshit you went through?
And you are still bragging to say that it is okay to turn you down?
Hey, when my mom died, and I was about to drop out of high school,
your dad paid for my tuition.
Thank you.
Let's figure things out.
First, you can't work during Eun-u's commute to school.
I can't work from 9 to 10 a.m. and from 3 to 4 p.m.
Then you have to work at night.
Do you want to work here with me?
You speak English, right?
There's a spot with a place to stay.
Don't think this is strange, you princess.
We are going to get married once we make money to open a shop.
We have lost a pub once before.
That's not it.
How can we live here together?
He works in three shifts.
And he has to work a night shift until next month.
When we come home, he leaves and vice versa.
He can take care of Eun-u while we work.
Eun-u is a handful. He has changed.
Because things have changed after Dad passed away--
After a DUI, he did community service at a center for the disabled.
He is familiar with kids like Eun-u.
Hye-ri is in hardship because of that accident.
Don't be embarrassed. It is all good, okay?
You can make half of the deposit in a month
depending on how you work as a waitress.
Work hard for a month, and I will lend you the other half.
A month?
Otherwise, how will you get that money if you can only work for few hours a day
because of Eun-u?
Then I will crash in for a month, Hye-ri.
And one day,
I will pay you back, no matter what.
Wow, perfect!
-Good luck! -Yes!
Surprise!
-It's for you. -Hye-ri!
Thank you, my friend.
SPY
Girls, you are so pretty!
Come and sit.
-Do you need anything else? -Here.
Thank you.
Hwan!
What is it?
Don't get mad at me.
Mom told me to wake you up or I have to go to work instead of you.
You said you would do anything for me since you lost my watch, didn't you?
What is it?
Throw me a birthday party tomorrow with Jun-se.
Hey!
I know you feel inferior to Jun-se.
-What? -There are two reasons for hating people.
Feeling inferior or jealous. Are they the same words?
He is just an ass.
Go with your friends.
Jun-se won't go to the club with my friends.
Bring Seung-mi, too. You said she seems depressed these days.
I will buy you the watch later. Get out.
Hwan, it's your one and only sister's birthday.
Do you want me to be here?
Once boiled, lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Hey, Mr. Lee.
Seolleongtang smells bad. I hate it.
That's your problem.
Manufacturing at factories is important,
but cooking at the restaurant is the key to maintain consistent quality.
Don't take your eyes off.
I am not here to make seolleongtang.
Whether you hate the smell or not,
I am the manager who was ordered to teach you by Ms. Jang.
Do as I said.
Where are you going?
-Get out of my way. -Mr. Sunwoo.
I will fire you as soon as I become the chairman.
I will quit right away if you become the chairman.
-Don't you know who I am? -I do.
A boy who will burn the company down like boiling seolleongtang.
Mr. Lee!
-Hwan! -Hwan!
What was that?
-Jeong, let me wash my hands first. -Okay.
Eun-u.
What were you doing?
Is that so? Good job.
Yes.
Right.
-Hey, Spy! The customers are here. -All right!
Eun-u, I will call you later.
All right.
Seung-mi went home because her mom got sick.
What?
It is no fun for three of us.
Let's have a drink and go.
You can't do that on my birthday.
Hwan, don't forget that it's my birthday.
Jun-se, it's my birthday today.
Find yourself a partner before we come back.
Let's go. Hurry.
All right. Let's party since it's your birthday.
Don't move!
Welcome!
-What would you like to order? -What do you have?
The basics have fruits and spirits.
Sounds good. We will get the basics.
The basics, then.
-I will be back soon. -Thanks.
What are you doing here after robbing my bag?
-The bag! -"The bag"?
I had some situations that I couldn't contact you.
What are you doing?
Let me go!
Let me go! I said let go of me!
What are you doing? I told you that I had my problems.
Then give me my bag back.
That bag... is not with me.
Of course not. You sold everything.
What? I sold it?
Who do you think I am?
Hey.
You are the one who ditched me twice!
-And the bill! -The bill?
Here.
I will take it after I give back your bag, so wait.
My phone.
-You should be an actor. -Hold on.
Let me go! I have to find my phone.
Is this yours?
Hey!
Good luck.
Stop laughing. It almost fell off.
You don't need Botox if you take this medicine.
Darn it.
Did you see?
Hey, Eun-u.
Do you know left and right?
I know.
Left. Right.
Good. Have you bought chocolates and chips by yourself from a store?
-I love chocolates. -So do I, man.
Go straight to your school bus stop and turn left at the first corner.
Then make a right and go straight.
Keep going until you see Samsung Supermarket on your right.
Samsung Supermarket. Two cans of beer, chocolate.
PIANO
If someone supports us...
What are you talking about?
Tell me what you think.
Why isn't he coming?
Hello?
Is this Ko Eun-u's mother?
Did you say Ko Eun-u?
Mom!
Your call has been forwarded to the voice mailbox.
What is wrong with her?
Eun-u, are you sure that was your sister's number?
Tell me again.
It's 010-6395-3266.
That's what I called.
Mom's number is 010-6856-0517.
Mom's license plate is 46 Ra, 9308.
What?
What did you just say?
What is my license plate?
Mom's license plate is 46 Ra, 9308.
Mom's house is 503, Baekma Apartment.
Spy, why aren't you picking up your phone?
-Hye-ri was about to faint. -Thank you.
Hye-ri, I'm sorry. My phone is broken.
Eun-sung, what do we do? Eun-u is missing!
What? Eun-u is missing?
