You're a big girl now!

Drinking booze and everything.

Do you still see me as a child?

If not, then what?

See, that's why it won't work.

What?

Do you remember?

What?

When you came to see Dad

on your first deep-sea vessel ride.

Of course I remember!

I was a freshman in high school then.

Was it that long ago?

You didn't see me before you left, right?

Were you home then?

-Yeah.

-Really?

But I was too shy to come out of my room.

-Why?

-I don't know.

I guess I was going through puberty.

Whenever I saw you,

my heart would beat so fast.

Your heart?

What are you up to tomorrow?

Tomorrow? Why?

Would you like to come with me

to my dad's grave site?

I need to trim the grass around it

before the memorial ritual.

Sure. I'll go with you.

Fix the cage, right now!

Man-sik! You have to grab this one first!

This is the one that we have to fix first!

If you undo that one,

the anchor will break!

On land, you're the elder.

But out here, I'm your boss.

Just do as I say!

Don't you see that?

You've got to release this right now.

Why do you keep talking?

Just do what I say!

What are you doing?

Aren't you gonna help?

Don't go there!

We don't have time! Hurry up!

Don't pull that!

Daddy, I'm scared.

It's all right.

It's all right.

You're still mad at me? Christ!

That's an interesting watch.

-Can I have it?

-What?

Wanna switch with me?

Mine is a really expensive one.

No way. I really need this on rescue.

All right, I don't want it.

Do you know what they call

people like you?

No, what?

-You're just like 3 o'clock!

-What?

You're very borderline.

Just like 3 in the afternoon.

Too late to go anywhere

but a waste not to do anything.

What do you mean?

What?

Wait! Don't! Don't! Let go of me!

Just stay there like that!

Oh, my God! Crazy b*tch!

-I'm so embarrassed.

-The ''off to Seoul'' Hi-mi is here in Busan.

Maybe her identical twin?

Slow it down!

The figures are too similar to 2004

for it to be just a coincidence.

In 2004, the epicentre continued

to move to the right just like this.

Starting 6 months before the tsunami,

we measured instances of earthquakes

at a depth of 30 km on the sea floor.

How many earthquakes has it been

so far this year?

More than 50.

Before the Southeast Asia tsunami,

it was over 50 as well.

What's the median severity?

3.0.

There's been another

earthquake on the sea floor!

-Where?

-East of Tsushima Island!

-What's the magnitude?

-5.6.

They're getting bigger.

Sir.

This is a serious situation.

This is really serious.

Look.

There's a million gathered

at Haeundae right now.

If a tsunami hits

under such circumstances...

Are there any chances

of a tsunami hitting Korea?

I have never heard about

something like that.

How many earthquakes you think

occur around Korea per year?

About 3 or 4?

30 of more than 3.0 in intensity.

So far this year, we've already had 50.

And what's more important is the

epicentre's moving closer to Korea.

If Tsushima Island,

between Korea and Japan, collapses,

the chances of a mega-tsunami

are extremely high.

A mega-tsunami?

Let's say that the bubbles are

about the size of a wave that would arise

in the event of an earthquake.

If the western part of Tsushima

sinks into the water,

the shock from that would create

a wave of an unimaginable height.

That is a mega-tsunami.

The waves of the 2004 tsunami

were 3 to 4 metres.

If Tsushima Island collapses,

the waves will top 50 metres.

Is that a real possibility?

I'm talking about a minimum of 50 metres.

A wave over 100 metres is possible.

Then what is it we've got to do to prepare?

If the tsunami warning goes off,

we've got to evacuate people

within 10 minutes.

Within that amount of time?

A tsunami causes a tidal wave

that travels 700 km per hour.

700 km?

If a tsunami starts at Tsushima,

-to get to Haeundae it would take...

-How long?

Less than 10 minutes!

Did you fight with my father?

What are you doing there?

-Get over here.

-All right.

Father,

I brought your favourite,

Man-sik, here with me.

I wanted to tell you

something very important today,

so I brought him.

He's taken care of me so well.

Now I wanna return the favour.

Sometimes,

he even takes care of me

better than you did.

Well,

I keep dropping hints but

that dullard never gets it.

So I've been a little frustrated lately.

But I can't just bare my heart to him first.

I don't wanna lose face.

So you coach that man over there.

You were always popular with the ladies.

Hey, you listen to what

my father tells you, all right?

I'll be back in a sec.

How are you holding up?

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What do you mean?

What if

in the future,

Yeon-hee became my wife?

How would you feel?

How much did you drink?

Show some respect.

Are you serious?

Listen carefully. If there's a girl from Seoul

who goes to a good university

and is so hot

and from a rich family,

could I go out with a girl like that?

That make any sense?

It does not.

Right? It doesn't, does it?

Don't drink too much.

Think about it carefully.

What Yeon-hee's father's

last words were.

Run to the restaurant in 10 minutes,

or you'll be dead and so will I.

Can I be out for

about an hour?

Where are you going this time?

I have an important appointment.

Choi Hyung-sik?

The fireworks display

of the World Culture Expo.

You're a natural.

How many girls did you get with that act?

But I cannot forgive you

for flirting with my fiancé.

What?

You should know who she's with

before you flirt with her.

She's not the kind of girl within your reach.

You're a real classy guy.

I hope this is the last time that I see you.

If I catch you again,

I'll beat the sh*t out of you.

You look as if something good

has just happened to you.

Yep, that's right.

What happened?

Today finally,

Mipo Golden Beach has been approved.

But you don't need to worry about it.

I promised your dad I'd take care of you.

Drop by my office tomorrow,

I'll set you up with a good spot.

No, that's all right.

You've already helped me out a lot.

You leaving now?

Do you want me to call a taxi?

No, no. I'm fine.

Eok-jo!

I will send the rent fee for the boat

in a few days.

I don't spare money when it comes to you,

so don't work too hard for money.

All right. Goodbye.

Why did that old man come here?

Just to have dinner.

Don't serve him next time.

He pisses me off.

-What brings you so late?

-Oh, right!

What's the special occasion?

Wait a second.

Yeon-hee!

I love you!

I want you to be the mother of my children!

What are you doing?

I'm proposing.

Why aren't you answering?

-Answer what?

-Say you will marry me.
