Well, is that so...

There are lots of guests.

I said there are

a lot of guests.

I think we're paying the penalty

of author Lee Joon-seop's fame

all together.

Dad, don't you know

mom is sick of this reporter lady?

Mr. Paek-am is here.

Good timing.

Can you introduce me to him?

I met him before

but he probably forgot.

Aunt, phone call.

Hello?

- This is reporter Jang from Literature Times.

- Yes, Mr. Kim.

- How do you do?

- Where are you now?

I met you before

at a literature awards ceremony.

Yes.

- Dae-jeon...

- Pleasure to meet a beautiful lady.

- Thank you, I was thinking of...

- He's a little busy right now.

Then call back in 30 minutes.

- Come here.

- Why?

Kim Sang-sik from Seoul

is waiting on the phone.

Do I have to answer

all those little phone calls?

We already released

a lot of money

but they want some more

for card game.

- Honey.

- What!

Release some more money

for card game here.

How much?

Adequately!

Why do you ask every time?

Senile dementia is a disease.

It's caused by

the death of brain cells.

The worst part of this disease is

that it's not just the patient who suffers

but all the family members

suffer together.

The thing Reagan had,

Alzheimer something is the same one.

The press says he can't

even recognize his own secretary.

Even the American president

can't buck against time.

Great! Five points!

Since it's doubled...

Then, I got ten points.

Give me the money.

What are you doing?

Get out!

Hurry up and shuffle.

Give me the money first.

Let's pay what we got to pay.

I said, shuffle.

You have to pay first, I said.

Who fed this old man

all this alcohol?

What do you mean?

He drank all by himself.

This is a disaster!

Let's go, father.

Let him just rest for a while.

He needs to do his job here.

If you take him now

who's going to do

the First through Third Watch?

Who the hell cares about Watch

when he's about to have

his own funeral?

- You can t just go.

- I don't care!

Shake them before you throw them.

It's easy to manipulate

the result if not shaking!

Here Fine?

Are you happy?

Your turn is canceled!

Pass if one of them

is dropped while shaking.

Look at how this bastard talks!

What are you staring at?

What are you doing?

Throw them.

What happened? What happened?

The guy from Hyun-ji is also unavailable.

What? He isn't?

Why?

There's also a funeral

in that town.

Oh my god.

Why did you get such a singer

and ruin this important business?

I can do it myself.

I've got things

learned by the ear.

What? You do it?

First Watch

First Watch

It's nine o'clock.

We need to do the First Watch

so gather the people around.

Stop playing yut

and come down here.

And guests from Seoul, too.

Ceremony for First Watch begins.

First Watch ceremony begins!

Yeah.

Wait, wait,

listen what you say...

Didn't you have

anything to eat?

You have to scream more!

We're starting over again.

Again begin!

Guests from Seoul,

this is not a karaoke.

- There's no microphone.

- Wow, he's not bad.

- He wouldn't boast without thinking.

- Open your mouth widely and...

Right, stop being

pretentious and sing!

You're here for nothing

but to play card games or what...

Now, now, we're starting over.

Begin!

The Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.

The Buddhist Goddess of Mercy.

When will we ever see you again?

Tell us when we can see you again.

The Goddess of Mercy.

The Buddhist Goddess of Mercy

The mountains are...

It was my winter vacation

after fourth grade.

Grandmother now became

too childish to play with me.

But no matter how

childish she acts,

mom and dad takes good care of her,

as if it was natural.

How smaller is

grandmother going to be?

I was worried

about what will happen

when she shares all her age.

After she shares all her age,

she becomes a newborn baby.

And finally after

she can't get any smaller,

Grandmother will one day

go to another world

leaving us behind.

Dad's reply was

exactly what I worried.

That meant that

she will pass away.

I decided not to

take any more of her age.

My kind-hearted daughter...

I'm sure that you'll be sad

over Grandmother's death.

But even if she leaves us,

that doesn't mean

her soul also disappears.

The only thing that disappears

is her shriveled body

and her soul will last

and get a new body

to come back to this world

as a newborn baby somewhere.

It's like a caterpillar of a butterfly

transforming inside a cocoon

and finally breaking out of it

to be a butterfly.

But I wasn't sure

if that happens to everyone.

I wondered if it's guaranteed

for all including grandmother.

But not all the soul

can be reborn as a new life.

It will happen to only those

who lived with virtue here.

Now I was worried about

where grandmother will be reborn

and whether we will be able to

recognize her in her new body.

And it worsened after I heard

that people of this world

don't get to know

where she will be reborn.

It was during the Korean War.

This town also had conflicts

between left and right.

Then one day a corpse

was found on the streets

and everyone tried to

get away from it.

No one dared to bury it

out of fear.

But she called me and said

that those who just ignore it

are as bad as those who killed.

She even asked me

to help her bury the corpse.

Well, I...

At the time it was really tense

and one might get in trouble

with a lightest mistake.

So I was hesitatingly

when she said

You're not a human being!

Don't you dare come

to my funeral.

And she started

doing it by herself.

How could you not help her after that?

So we buried it

together over there.

She really is tenacious

in that manner.

My mother is going

to go to a good place.

She did a lot of

virtuous things.

Even during the hard times,

she would never refuse a beggar.

And she fed them

together with the family.

When they would stir the food

with their dirty spoons

even we were sickened

by the sight.

No need to talk about Joon-seop

who had a weak stomach.

Even if her children

can't enjoy the food,

she didn't stop serving them

on the same table.

My husband had a profligate lifestyle

when he was young.

So one day,

I was determined to fix that

and ran away

to my maiden home.

But mother wouldn't

even let me sit down.

No matter how I begged

to stay just one night

she pushed me out

to the town entrance

and wouldn't even

let me turn back.

And she kept on waving her hand.

I can still remember that wave

unclear whether telling me

to come or to go.

It's still vivid to my eyes.

I'm a son-in-law

in this family.

- Hello.

- How do you do?

You people seem to

be aspiring authors.

Yes.

If you're going to write a novel,

Joon-seop is a good role model.

In my opinion, Joon-seop

will be the first in Korea

- to win Nobel Prize in literature.

- Go and put him to sleep.

This is 750 thousand won

from selling the crops.

Now start the game again.

Let's stop here.

What?

You're here for a funeral,
