Let me think about it...

Think about what?

You have to give me time to think.

If it's a yes, it's a yes.

What's there to think about?

Early tomorrow morning,

come to my restaurant.

If there is a red ribbon tied

to my boat, it's a yes.

-Don't expect too much, though.

-Why don't you just give me an answer?

Come, look!

Are you playing with me?

I have been waiting for you all day.

If you can't keep promises,

you shouldn't make them.

And if you can't keep a promise,

you should at least explain why.

Hey. Are you going to keep ignoring me?

Hey, you!

Hey!

Don't fool around with me.

Don't come to see me.

I don't want to see you again.

What?

What?

Interview?

It's a small company,

but the salary's almost 2 million won.

I had a really hard time getting

someone I know to arrange it.

Stop it. How can I be doing

job interviews at my age?

Are you going to live

without a job for your entire life?

Who said I would be jobless

for the rest of my life?

Stubborn jackass!

Anyway, I won't go.

Don't try to persuade me.

I'm begging you.

I don't even have

an acceptable pair of shoes.

Will you go if I buy you shoes?

Just forget about it!

Why is it so hard for you

to go to a job interview?

Go and try, at least.

Why don't you go?

I'm too old for that.

That attitude is the reason

you don't have a woman.

Sh*t. I'll burn your mouth.

Moron, you say that all the time.

My skin doesn't look right.

Are you insane?

Why are you in such a good mood?

Why? Do you want to know?

No way!

Do you want me to tell you?

I didn't say I want to know.

In fact...

Today, Man-sik proposed to me!

-What?

-Isn't it funny?

I was so shocked.

I'm embarrassed.

Why? Do you feel jealous?

-This just isn't right.

-What do you mean?

What's he thinking?

What are you saying?

Do you know how your dad passed away?

We've got major problems here.

The path of the typhoon

has already shifted toward us,

and underwater earthquakes are

occurring once every 2 days.

Another earthquake happened

off the shore of Tsushima Island!

This time, it's 6.5.

Doctor! We are connected to Japan!

This is Kim Hwi.

What? Has a tsunami warning

already been issued?

Under sea near Tsushima Island

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

You must be waiting for Yeon-hee,

but she won't be coming.

What?

Thanks to you, Eok-jo cussed me out.

You act like you don't care

about justice at all,

so I told her the truth!

Since I was a kid,

my nickname was the guardian of justice.

You son of a b*tch!

You get here!

You scumbag!

You killed her dad. Isn't it true?

Take your hand off!

What?

Has he gone crazy?

Wait up. I'm coming right now.

What are you talking about? How can

we evacuate one million people right now?

On top of that,

the Culture Expo opened today.

If we put a halt to it,

we'll be the world's laughingstock!

Do you want all the people here to die?

In Japan, the cautionary warning

has already been issued.

In Japan, earthquakes happen a lot.

Do you have proof a tsunami

will be coming here?

Last night's 6.5 earthquake

occurred near Tsushima Island.

There is a high chance

a stronger earthquake will hit soon.

Moreover, if an earthquake over 7.0

occurs off the shore of Tsushima,

Haeundae will be in grave danger.

Didn't you see what happened

in Southeast Asia? 300,000 died in an hour!

You're driving me crazy.

Why are you doing this to me?

Do you want to ruin my life?

I never wanted to interrupt your work!

I just told them because it is

a terribly dangerous situation.

For the last year,

I've been risking my career over this!

You think you are the only one

who is working? I do too!

Even if you try to get in my way,

I will continue.

I'm not ignoring you,

so just calm down.

Why don't you send Ji-min to Seoul first.

Don't boss me around.

I'll handle Ji-min on my own.

She's with that strange jerk, isn't she?

Watch your mouth.

He is more reliable than you'll ever be!

Stay out of my life, all right?

What are you doing?

You guys go on ahead.

I can't go today.

What? You've already come all this way.

Next time!

Oh, come on in.

You brought your legal seal, right?

What are you talking about?

I don't need a store.

Why?

I've been thinking about it since yesterday.

You, my father and I are all

people of Haeundae.

Everyone here is like family to me.

Even if I get a new store and live off of it,

Dad would not be happy.

Please consider Man-sik,

and think it over once again.

I'm asking you as a favour.

I'll be leaving now.

And I...

I'm leaving Haeundae next week.

Come on, Hi-mi!

Let's go to the hot spring.

West of Tsushima Island

We can't wait any longer.

First, we have to evacuate

the people on the beach.

What are you talking about?

There's been no directive yet.

This is not the time for us

to just wait around for directives.

Something's not right here.

If we issue an evacuation order

and nothing happens,

will you take the responsibility for it?

Director! I've got the order

to issue the tsunami warning

and clear out immediately!

What?

Hurry! Issue the warning

and make an announcement now.

Haeundae has

one of the biggest beaches in Asia

along with Dongbaek Island, Moonrise Hill,

Hot spring, Oryuk Island.

Busan,

an internationally recognised

tourist attraction,

incomparable to any other city

in its cultural diversity.

Also, as a port city, it has strived

to expand cultural...

Could you wrap up here?

I have to go check on Ji-min.

35 km east of Haeundae

Where are you now?

I am going to get my car repaired. Why?

What's your shoe size?

Shoes?

You didn't take the picnic bus?

Just answer the question.

What size is it?

Whatever. I'm really busy right now.

Do you like fishing?

Did you plan this? All part of your scheme?

No, I'm just going by the plan

your friends came up with.

Those losers.

-They must be having a good time, right?

-Don't worry. It's over now.

100? 100! Joon-ha always wins.

That b*tch is so lucky.

You sound a little emotional about it.

No, I'm not. I'm going to the restroom.

Yeon-hee... I will explain everything.

Can I just be alone today?

You can if you want, but...

An earthquake warning was

issued as of 2:
30 p.m.

Everyone on the beach should

seek high ground immediately.

As of 2:
30 p.m...

What's wrong with you?

20 km east of Haeundae

Check out the situation in Japan right now.

How's the evacuation situation?

We're preparing for it now. It is not easy

to clear out a crowd of one million.

Doctor! It's serious.

They're saying a tsunami is coming

toward Korea now.

-The estimated time?

-Around 10 minutes.

-Height?

-We have yet to...

Go and check it out immediately!
