"Freshly picked ones

are different."

Look at you!

What?

"I'm proud of you.

Where'd you learn to farm?"

My dad, the other farmers,

and Internet.

"Little girl, watch what you say

to an adult, huh?"

"My birthday is way earlier

than yours!"

Hey, your scar is gone.

What?

"Remember when you tried to catch

tomatoes with your mouth?"

"You fell over there, cut your head,

and bled so much."

"We got so shocked

and cried with you!"

Right! Where was it?

I was so scared then.

How about it for old time's sake?

Catch!

Can't you catch it?

Come here you!

Lost your touch?

Okay! I'm ready!

"- Catch!

- Okay."

"- Try it again! Ready?

- No way!"

Catch!

I'll get you!

One, two!

Timber!

"After a good sweat,

you need alcohol."

"On long winter nights,

Mom sometimes made Makgeolli."

"Sikhye for Hae-won.

Makgeolli for me."

Cheers!

Cheers!

Is it good?

Wanna try it?

Yes!

"It tasted sour, acidic,

and adult-like."

It's gross!

"Malt makes it into sweet rice punch,

but yeast turns it into wine."

It's perfect!

"It's best to drink it with

some company in the cold."

It's really good!

"- It's cold! Close the door!

- No!"

"You have to drink Makgeolli

with the cold wind!"

"Cut the nonsense

and close the door!"

No way!

"- What was that?

- No idea."

"- What did I trip on?

- Don't know."

Fess up now!

"- Why you!

- You wanna die!"

Stop!

Stop it!

What are you doing?

Hi!

What are you doing?

"Can't you see

I'm parking my bike?"

"Is Jae-ha here?

You called him too?"

Thought I only called you over?

It's not that.

Hey.

Hi.

She pushed me so hard!

Move!

It hurts!

It's freezing.

"- Move!

- Hey!"

Cheers!

It's so good!

You drank it one shot?

"Because you came,

the three of us can drink."

"Is it our first time

drinking together?"

"- I guess.

- Right."

"But why come down

when I said I want to go up?"

"I was sick of working at a store.

It pays peanuts."

I love drip coffee,

"but I can't even afford

to buy it."

"Right.

The coffee there is different."

"- It's expensive.

- Right."

"Do you know

what drip coffee is?"

Of course.

She doesn't. I can tell.

Just one more glass please.

"- Stop drinking!

- I'm not drunk!"

That's enough.

Hey! Hey!

Are you sleeping?

"I'm cold.

Aren't you cold?"

"Living in the city,

I could see..."

how great a job farming is.

The sprouts in the spring...

"they look up at the holy sky

like small earthly spirits..."

I can't really describe it...

"But I think I chose

an incredibly cool job."

"Jae-ha is cool

when he's drunk."

He came back here with an answer.

But.

"I couldn't bear it anymore

and ran away here."

Hello.

"1 pork and

1 ham and cheese, please."

One moment, please.

Hey! Stop!

"It's not fair to go back

after just winter here, right?"

Am I right or not?

Huh?

Tell me.

Huh?

"If I stay till the spring's spirits

break through the winter,"

will I find my answers?

SPRING:

Thanks for the food!

"Potatoes are planted first

in spring."

"Though it's cold, the ground's warmth

pushes the potato sprouts out."

"The sprouts, the flowers,

and bearing crop..."

It all takes time.

You have to wait.

You must wait.

Wait.

"You have to wait to taste

the best food."

"You can get spring greens for free,

but potatoes take hard work."

"Spring bracken must be carefully

dried and stored to eat in the fall."

I talk as if I'll stay till fall.

"When potato sprouts come up,

it's time to plant other crops."

"From then on,

there's no time to waste on the farm."

"- Are these peppers?

- Hot peppers."

"- I'll take $3 worth, please.

- Sure."

"Eun-sook!

You're planting it wrong."

It's right!

They're too close together!

"- Plant 'em again.

- No! Go away!"

"If you plant 'em like this,

they'll get tangled up!"

"- Move!

- No!"

Shut up and just go home.

"- It's your fault.

- You go home."

"- No! You go home!

- Shut up. Be quiet!"

"- What?

- Watch. Try it again."

Thanks for the food!

"Aren't you scared to live there

with no cameras or door locks?"

What will you do all day?

"I hate the country

because of bugs!"

"Flies, worms, and bees!

Gross!"

What? Why?

It's a bug!

No!

Why hello, caterpillar!

Did it fall from the tree?

"- You touched it?

- Amazing!"

"They don't know that I'm a product

of the land and air here."

"Of course,

some things are annoying."

"Fivo, Fivo!

What's this? Look!"

Hae-won!

Eat it!

Mr. Kim!

"Hae-won?

Come have a seat here."

Come here.

"You want to be a teacher?

Did you pass the exam?"

Got a boyfriend?

"What happened to your mom?

Did she get remarried?"

"So what if she did!

I'd get remarried too!"

"CLOSED TO HELP OU IN FARMING SEASON"

The most annoying thing is.

"Mom coming to mind

whenever I cook."

"It's like I'm always

competing with her."

Focus.

Cooking reflects your heart.

Please get out of my head, Mom.

It's best to eat it raw,

"but I want to make

something unique."

Not again!

How about pancake?

Cabbage pancake?

Lots!

Swirl it on.

Like this.

Wanna try?

What's that?

Tree.

Tree branch.

I'll shred this on top.

What?

That's weird!

Don't do it Mommy!

No tree branch!

All done!

It's weird!

Look! The tree bits are moving!

Wanna smell it?

"It smelled really unique

and original."

"- Looks good, huh?

- I thought she was a genius."

This looks so good!

Mom didn't create that?

It's delicious!

Excuse me?

"Sometimes I knew she lied,

but Mom's cooking was never boring."

Unique dishes are good,

"but spring cabbage

tastes best raw."

"The more you chew,

the sweeter it gets."

"I haven't delivered to this place

in a while."

Hae-won, right?

Yes. Hello, sir.

Wait! Could you send this back?

Why?

Because...

"I'm going back soon.

I don't want mail coming here."

I can't do that.

"There's no address.

It can't be returned."

And Hae-won,

"it's your freedom to read it or not,

but I must deliver it."

That's a mail carrier's fate.

So? What did it say?

What did your mom write?

Her potato bread recipe.

"I was dying to know.

You tried Mom's potato bread, right?"

It was the best!

"I begged her to tell me,

but she said she'd teach me later."

"She leaves home and sends me

her potato bread recipe?"

How could she?

It's nice and useful.

"Then write her back

with a unique recipe of your own."

I don't know where she is.

I think she's living fine.

"That's weird.

How did she know I was here?"

SUMMER:

"No matter how much

I pluck the weed out,"

it grows like my worries.

It's way too hot.

Thanks.

No thanks.

"-It's nice and cold.

-I'm good."

"-It's hot, isn't it?

-Thank you."

"-Iced coffee?

-Thank you."

We fought over nothing.

"Eun-sook complained non-stop

about her bank manager."

"He always wanders around

outside."

"Then he shows up late

when we're about to close"

"and tells us

to do the work over again!"

"Why doesn't he tell us

in the first place?"

"If I keep working here,

I'll get cancer and die!"

Then just quit.

"If it stresses you out that much,
