What is it?

I bought some clothes this morning.

I hope they fit you well, Mr. Kim.

You're saying

I should wear this?

You wanna put me in trouble, huh?

What's that?

Can't be going to see someone

in the hospital empty handed.

Want one?

It's a peppermint candy.

Really delicious.

What's wrong?

I was told that she lost

her conscious this morning.

She could even talk to me last night.

Too late.

I know, but...

I want to see her face, though.

Honey, Youngho has come.

Sunim...

It's been a long time.

Do you remember this?

Peppermint candy.

When I was in the army,

You sent these to me.

You put a candy in every letters.

I've saved them.

In fact...

I got in trouble owing to them.

As you sent back then...

Look!

They're still in the same shape.

I'm sorry, Sunnim.

Kim Youngho!

Kim Youngho!

I forgot to give something to you.

She wanted me to give you this.

She said it's not hers, but yours.

She also said she was

just keeping it for you.

It's so old. Nobody uses

a 20 years old camera.

Think who wants to use

a manual camera these days?

- How much can you give me?

- I will pay for 30,000 won.

How can you fix just 30,000 won?

You'd better look for another shop.

- How about 50,000 won?

- 40,000 won. It's the maximum.

Okay, then.

Hey, Mister!

Film in the camera.

Take it back!

Summer 1994

Miss Lee? You came early.

No phone calls yet?

Who?

And so...

Why do they want to be paid

before giving us the goods?

If he calls, refuse it.

No. I'd better take care of it. What?

Why are you saying like that?

What? I can't talk to you that way?

My business dull now a days.

It makes me crazy.

Let's have a drink.

I have to buy... No way,

I should be the one

to buy you drinks...

If you insist that way,

then I won't see you.

She said she's going to get

a driving lesson.

I don't know where.

Anyway...

Make sure she doesn't notice you,

When you're following her. Call me.

Hey! Give me a cup of coffee.

Yes, sir.

Kim, what's making you feel good?

Have they gone up again?

Tire has gone up by 300 won.

300won's not a small amount at all.

You're making money at stocks

as well as at your business.

- Hey!

- Yes, sir?

Who do you think, I am?

You are the president.

Right. I'm the owner. Then, why did you

brought coffee without a saucer?

- I am sorry, sir.

- You've betrayed me...

That's enough.

Buy me a lunch!

Betrayal of love...

- Where should we go?

- Well, where should we go?

- Wondang'll be difficult to be reached.

- Yeah, there must be congestion.

Jesus, are your keys OK?

Why do you carry

so many keys?

President!

- Who? Me?

- No, Kim.

- Phone calls for you.

- Who is it?

- It's from the detective agency.

- Detective agency? Why?

I think I can't eat out today.

Let me treat you a lunch next time.

What are you talking about?

Wait, wait. I'm going.

Okay.

Good, that's good! Oh, no! Stop it!

I step on it, what am I gonna do?

- Who is it?

- I ordered cigarettes.

- What is it?

- Where is she, you bastard!

Where do you think you're going!

You f***er!

Are you going home now?

Yes.

Aren't you going home?

Later.

How are you getting home?

I can grab a taxi over there.

Umm... okay

Go then.

Go.

- Are you coming home early?

- No, I'll be late today.

Where have you been keeping

a person waiting so long?

Why didn't you go to eat?

How can I enjoy a meal alone?

- Didn't you have anything to eat, yet?

- Yes, I ate something.

This tastes pretty good.

Eating again?

I eat after intensive exercise.

- What's wrong?

- Mosquitos.

My hip's bitten up by mosquitos.

Those mosqitos bit only my butt.

It was really painful.

Jaeyong, it's not polite

to bother people.

- I'm so sorry.

- That's all right.

Not to play with a ball inside.

Your boy's very cute.

Uh... Hi!

Hi!

It's been a long time.

Are you out with your family?

Yes, to have a meal with them.

Where are you these days?

I quitted the cop two years age.

I run a small business now.

I didn't bring my business card.

How old are you, boy?

- Then, enjoy your meal.

- Thank you.

Who's that?

- Life is beautiful.

- What?

Life is beautiful.

Isn't it?

Oh... yes.

What's this?

Peppermint candy from the restaurant.

No, I don't want any.

Take it. It'll freshen your breath.

Darling, your breath smelled bad.

Since when am I your darling?

You want to taste this?

Delicious!

Did you make all this by yourself?

The maid helped a little,

but I did almost all.

Mr. Kim is lucky to have

a wife talented for cooking.

Sorry, it took so long.

Mrs. Kim, quickly have a seat.

Mr. Kim! You, too! Come on.

Go over there.

F***er!

Go! Go!

Leave the dog alone.

My husband just can't stand dog.

- I hate dogs.

- Why is that?

Because they're dogs.

Don't beat it, just kill it.

Come on.

What are you doing, folks?

- Have the glass filled.

- Yes.

Let's congratulate our hosts

on their new house.

- Let's toast!

- Excuse me.

Can I pray for us

before having a toast?

Why not? Go ahead.

Thank you dear lord.

Today, our family has moved

into a new house.

Thank you for bringing us

together at this precious time.

Bless everyone here to have

a good time sharing

delicious food.

We pray for our peaceful mind.

Please protect their business.

Dear God, our Father.

Please let them be healthy.

Bless these young lambs.

May this family

continue to love

and believe...

each other...

Please protect the man

of the house...

Don't cry, please!

Seamin's daddy!

Be quiet!

Seamin's daddy!

Seamin's daddy!

Seamin's daddy!

Confession

Confession

Spring 1987

Why are you looking at my eating?

Do you know how long it's been

since you last eat at home?

Last night I dreamed a strange dream

where you're missing there.

I woke up calling you

because I can't find you

to find my face wet with tears.

Don't do that, I say.

I think I'd better go to the hospital.

Some days left

but I feel little strange.

I'll call you later.

Please say something!

Don't call!

Don't call!
