They're coming!
Prisoner 1719, JOO Young-ju,
serving for fraud.
The warden has graded you very highly.
You've also worked very hard in the rehabilitation program.
Did you somehow know about the parole screening beforehand?
I've been doing woodwork for my rehabilitation.
I'm making a goose for my sister's wedding gift.
Isn't a goose a gift from the parents?
Isn't it a blessing of fortune?
I have to do it for my sister.
On behalf
of my deceased father.
On behalf of my working mother.
My sister was like both a father and mother to me.
When I think about my sister
missing a year in high school to work for my tuition,
I want to do
everything for my sister.
I'm sorry.
Parole approved
What kind of crap is that?
Inner acting.
Don't go overboard.
You look sad, but you restrain it, okay?
You constipated?
Ladies.
Just give up.
In these distrustful times,
think it's a piece of cake for people to trust you?
Get a life.
Think parole is that high almighty?
JOO Young-ju.
Yes, I'm ready!
Lying is a natural gift,
you know. Don't try to force it.
Just wait it out here.
Bye! I'll call you for sure! You have to wait for me, okay?
Bye! Take care!
She's a real bitch, isn't she?
Now you get the picture.
TOO BEAUTIFUL TO LIE
Delicious!
Hi, this is Young-oak's cell phone.
Excuse me...
Who?
- Young-ju? - Who is it?
I don't know. She says she's Young-ju.
- Hello? - Tada! It's me sis, Young-ju!
Young-ju, what's going on?
What do you mean? I got out.
Hey, you don't seem so happy.
- No, it's just that... - Who picked up the phone?
Your future husband?
Yeah.
Anyway, how are the preparations going?
I'm the one who picks out your dress, right?
You can't pick it out yourself.
Not with that bad taste of yours.
I'm headed for Busan now.
I'll pick out a killer dress!
Just wait.
Now?
Why sound so surprised?
Pick the dress already?
Not exactly...
Young-ju.
All my in-laws are here, so I'll be okay.
Why don't you take a rest?
Or go on a trip perhaps.
The wedding is still far away.
I just thought it'd be hard on you.
Yeah, I know how you feel.
It wouldn't be because you're embarrassed of me, right?
Since it's not, then of course I should go.
Young-ju, I think you've misunderstood.
What can be misunderstood between us?
Oh yeah, tell them I'm studying abroad.
That I was in the U.S., Japan, and on my way from Southeast Asia.
That way you'll save face, right?
Young-ju!
I'm going now, so leave your phone on.
Even if it's off, I'll find a way to find you.
Go! Go!
Giddyup! Giddyup!
Go! Go!
We're almost there!
- So what about the club? - Don't throw a Choco Pie.
So what's that nightclub like?
My buddy at the nightclub...
Hold on! Hold on!
- It's not what you think! - Yeah, right!
You pervert!
You bastard!
No, it was the ring!
Ring, my butt!
You see...
Anyway, what I did was not etiquette,
but please understand.
I'm not the person you think I...
You repeated offenders never screw up your lines.
My name is CHOI Hee-chul.
I'm a pharmacist.
Pharmacist CHOI Hee-chul.
In Yongkang, I'm well-trusted,
and I have many customers.
I know we won't meet again,
but I feel bad having to leave
that type of memory with someone.
I'm not that low of a person.
This ring is my mother's.
I'm on my way to propose to someone.
This very important ring mistakenly fell down...
Over there...
My nose is bleeding.
Watch where you're going?
Know what happens when you get into trouble on parole, right?
Stay away from any trouble.
No way that idiot...
He won't pin it on me, will he?
- Guess who? - What the hell?
- Who could it be? - How the hell should I know?
Stop it, damn it!
Oh my!
I thought you were my boyfriend.
I mistook your flat head for my boyfriend's.
- I'm sorry. - You crazy woman!
Watch it, damn it.
My bag!
Hey!
Hey, my bag!
My bag!
Throw my bag!
Throw my bag! Throw it to me!
Hey! My bag!
My goose!
I don't believe this.
No, it's not CHOI Hee-chul's.
He just has it with him.
Yeah.
Bye.
Miss, about your bag.
Looks like he didn't hand it in to lost and found yet.
We'll contact you if he calls,
so you should go home for now.
Yongkang Station
How will I ever find him here?
CHOI Hee-chul?
Hee-chul?
You know him?
Isn't that the Hee-chul at Yongkang Pharmacy?
Yeah, that's him.
You mean the Mayor's son.
If it's the Mayor's son, then isn't he your son's friend?
Of course he's friends with my Young-deuk.
Hee-chul was the top student, Young-deuk was the top bully?
There you go again with your crap!
Did I say something wrong?
Your son ripped Hee-chul's forehead
and his grandma went nuts.
That's right, Hee-chul's grandma adored him.
Sons are precious in that family.
His mother wanted to have a son, so she borrowed my panties for luck.
- Are you serious? - Don't you remember?
- Excuse me. - All they have is one child?
No. They have a daughter, too.
His mother had her and passed away.
Yeah, right after I had my Man-suk.
It's been twenty years already!
Yeah, now I remember.
Hee-chul's grandma was hoping for another son.
But after his weak mother died,
the town scolded the grandma.
The town didn't know anything.
Yeah, she was so good to Hee-chul's mom.
That's right.
Ladies?
Anyway, how do you all know so much?
This town is so small,
we can count all the spoons, right?
So what about Hee-chul?
Yes?
I didn't see Hee-chul at the drug store just now.
Why don't you go directly to the Mayor's home instead?
I've been a taxi driver in this town for ten years.
But I've never seen
a pretty girl like you.
You could be an actress.
Nice skin, pretty legs.
All kinds of people are pissing me off today.
So where can I take you, Princess?
To the Mayor's home.
Why are you going to the Mayor's home?
I'm gonna be his new daughter-in-law.
Wait just one moment.
What can I do for you?
I came to find CHOI Hee-chul.
Hee-chul?
You're too late.
Hee-chul died a year ago.
Today's his memorial.
Is this some horror flick?
Excuse me.
You said you came for Hee-chul?
Actually, what happened with this ring...
Hee-chul isn't here right now.
But Hee-chul's father is at the drug store now.
I'm Hee-chul's aunt.
What can I do for you?
Mother, I'm your third son-in-law.
Goodness, you're too late.
My third son-in-law died last year.
Oh, mother. We have a guest.
She's a bit senile.
Honey, hurry and take her to the drug store.
So you're dating my son, Hee-chul?
Pardon?
Well, it's not what it seems.
Go on with your business.
Hey!
If it's not what it seems,
then why do you have this ring?
It's a bit complicated to explain.
Just think of it as a ring I picked up,
- so please call... - Picked up?
This ring?
I think you've misunderstood.
Actually, I'm not in a position to tell you exactly what happened.
Aren't you going home?
Darn door handle.
Oh, I see you have a guest.
Miss.
You appear out of the blue.
You bring this wedding ring,
and you talk about my son.
Shouldn't you explain exactly, so that I can fully understand?
You're right, but...
What happened, you see...
Well, to tell you the truth,
I didn't meet your son on good terms.
It's partially my fault,
- but he made a mistake to... - Mistake?
No, I mean,
to put it simply,
I just wanna return this ring.
I couldn't reach him, so I came all the way here.
Wait, it sounds as if our Hee-chul did something wrong to you.
Why?
Pardon?
From what you said, my son is making some big mistake.
Isn't that what you're implying?
No, that's not what I mean.
Looks like a new face to me.
Who the heck is this girl?
How did you meet my boy?
Who are you, Miss?
You're all so mean.
Don't ask me anything anymore.
How are you?
I'm so glad to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you from Hee-chul.
What's wrong with her?
Officer Kim!
Bring the stretcher!
Yes, sir.
Why isn't the door opening?
The door usually opens from the outside in a police car.
Open the door!
So Hee-chul said she's his girlfriend?
I don't know exactly.
Come on and tell me.
Then whose girl would it be? His dad's?
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, Dear Jae-eun!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, Jae-eun.
I don't know everything.
Just that he mentioned her a few times not long ago.
What makes you sure it's her?
Mom's ring.
Actually, Hee-chul had it for a long time.
You know how corny he can be.
He was going to propose with it.
You must be so happy.
You always said you wanted a daughter-in-law.
Go see how she is.
I should've just finished my time.
Marriage fraud on parole?
It's getting worse by the minute.
I'm looking after
the patient that just left.
I swear she said that she'll be his daughter-in-law.
- Really? - I'm serious.
Anyway, why did she faint?
Wait a minute!
At three months, it's important to be careful.
To avoid a miscarriage, meals must be eaten regularly.
What did you say?
Oh goodness, then it all fits.
In other words, Hee-chul did that to that girl.
Then she became that way, and...
You're right.
So Hee-chul made a mistake first.
And she said it was partially her fault.
But regardless, that rotten Hee-chul...
For you,
I lack readiness.
For you, I lack appearance.
For you,
I lack courage.
For you, I lack life.
I...
But I pray I can be only for you.
With this ring...
Our family is a bit peculiar.
Whenever something comes up, we all rush in like that,
and take the wind out of people.
Yeah, they seem a bit different.
But other families are very envious of us.
You know, city people aren't like that.
I guess you're right.
Yes?
I bet you're very uncomfortable.
I'm okay.
I'm sorry about today.
Since you came to see Hee-chul anyway,
feel at home and we'll talk when he comes back.
Now. Get some rest.
Yes, good night, Father.
Father?
A bastard like me shouldn't be alive, right?
Someone who plans to propose
loses the ring.
That's me.
Why me?
Anyway, do you think Jae-eun's mad?
Her face looked pissed off.
No way.
She left smiling.
Actually, it was fun.
Isn't it yours?
You got a call.
Where?
Who the hell's calling?
Hello?
Yes, sir.
Yes, hello.
One moment.
Hey, it's your dad.
It's me, Father.
Where are you now?
I'm still in Busan.
You have a girlfriend?
How did you know that?
When will you be back?
Well, I still have some things to do.
You're hiding out, aren't you?
- Sir? - I'll keep this short!
Come back tomorrow!
Yes, sir...
Hiding out?
What are you talking about?
We have to hold her here no matter what.
What if she goes and have an abortion?
Then we've committed a sin.
No, I won't see it.
Like he said, we must hold her here by all means.
Hurry outside.
Go home and get some rest.
You did great today.
Boy, I'm exhausted.
- What a day, huh? - She's pretty, huh?
Very pretty.
Why do I feel so worn out?
Over that?
It all worked out anyway.
He can marry Hee-chul off and have grandkids.
It certainly is a blessing.
I wish mother can hug a great grandchild soon.
- Want another kid? - Be quiet.
- Hurry and hop in. - Okay.
Long, long, time ago, there lived Sun Boy and Moon Girl.
But a tiger tried to eat them.
As Sun Boy and Moon Girl tried to run away,
a rope suddenly fell from the sky.
Sun Boy and Moon Girl
went up on the rope.
Damn it, this is a long story.
The tiger fell and died.
So what happened next?
- Sis! - Yes?
- It's Soo-mi. - Yes, one sec'.
What's wrong with your voice?
Are you in pain?
No!
Oh, what a hot night.
I thought you'd be here longer.
Going back for the ring?
No, my father told me to hurry and come back.
You're so sweet.
I'm not sweet. I'm stupid.
Anyway...
Have you thought about it?
About coming down to Yongkang.
You're talking about Yongkang again?
Your proposal didn't mean that we were going to apply
for Seoul Hospital together?
Of course, it does.
Just that there's nice weather, the scenery's nice, and...
It'll freshen up your head a bit.
I'll go.
Where?
Yongkang.
I'll go as soon as possible.
Hey, what's with you?
Since you answered so easily, it sounds like a lie.
The Mayor is so lucky.
Fate brought her here.
- He longed for a daughter-in-law. - Fate works in wonders.
You're right.
He likes her more because she's pretty.
Help yourself to plenty.
Thank you very much, Father.
Goodness, she said father.
Yes. "Thank you, Father."
Say your welcome to your daughter-in-law.
Are you all having a party?
You don't even know the whole story.
Then...
I heard you wanted to go to a spa.
Yes?
I just mentioned that you wanted a bath.
There's a famous spa here.
No, I didn't really mean it.
Usually, you're supposed to go with the in-laws.
That way you'll get close faster.
Yes, Hee-chul will take a while,
so let's go to the spa.
But I don't feel so well.
Yeah, it is far though.
It'll only take 15 minutes by car.
A new spa opened by the bus terminal.
Who goes to the spa with in-laws lately?
It was only during our time.
I'll go to the spa!
I want to take Grandmother and go with the family.
Wonderful!
Be careful!
Please watch your step!
You should've held her!
Stop overreacting.
Let's go in.
Does Hee-chul know what state your body's in?
No, not yet.
Why didn't you tell him?
That's how you seize his heart.
I see.
Where's the restroom?
Want me to go with you?
- I'll just go on my... - No, you must be extra careful
at this time.
Soo-mi! Go with her to the restroom.
Okay.
No, I'll just change here.
So why did they go to the spa all of a sudden?
Hee-chul.
Yes?
I'm very disappointed in you.
What?
I'm telling you this now that you've grown up.
Before I married your aunt, I had many women all over me.
But do you know why I married your aunt?
No.
She was carrying a baby like you are now, you fool.
Auntie is carrying my baby?
Welcome!
Attention customers!
Looking for Mister CHOI Hee-chul's fiancée.
Please come to the reception desk.
She's impersonating as my fiancée,
I tell you I'm on the air, damn it!
What's this noise?
I don't know.
Where did she go?
That woman...
Welcome!
You!
It's you from the train, right?
I've finally found you.
But what are you doing here?
It's all because of that darn ring.
- I don't have time to... - Ring?
How did you...
Wait, then you're the one
- who's swindling as my fiancée. - Swindling?
Don't screw with me, and just give me my bag.
Now I see that you stole my ring.
Your ring is with your father.
Just tell me where my...
Know what happened to me because of you?
Why'd you steal my ring?
Are you done talking?
No!
What did I do to you to deserve this?
Now I see that you hitting me was all an act.
I see you're a real pro! A pro!
I warned you, didn't?
Do you know you're screwing with me?
I screwed with you, so what?
Is screwing with you that important now?
After what happened to me,
- does it matter that I screw... - You rotten bastard!
Are you that proud of screwing a girl?
Is that what I taught you?
I swear I don't know her.
Father, I'm your son!
You've raised me for over twenty years.
Don't you trust me?
Then why is she doing this?
That's what I want to know, too.
Hey you!
Why the hell are you doing this?
How can she talk if you bully her like that?
Don't you know she's expecting?
This is driving me nuts.
Uncle.
Shouldn't you sense that something's wrong?
Well, you could have a point.
Well, but it does seem like there's some reason we don't know.
Everything is all my fault.
If I hadn't showed up,
I wouldn't have caused any trouble.
Yes.
Like Hee-chul said,
I've lied.
See? I told you so.
I told you so.
Frankly, I'm not the girl from Hee-chul's pharmaceutical school.
But my love for Hee-chul
was true.
Actually, I didn't go to college.
Even when I heard that Hee-chul was seeing his classmate,
I couldn't say anything, knowing I couldn't compete.
I prayed that he'd come back,
but he cut me off entirely.
Rotten bastard.
Uncle.
I'm very sorry.
I just wanted to return the ring,
and not mention these things.
Although it was brief,
you all were so good to me.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Sit back down.
- It's okay, Father. - Father?
Sit down.
Yes, sir.
I'm not saying this because I don't trust you.
I'm just asking this because I need to know for sure.
Can you tell us
whatever you know about Hee-chul?
Yeah! Great idea, Father!
How about this instead?
Ask for her ID number
and find out who she really is! What do you think, Uncle?
Are we interrogating a criminal?
Are we? Idiot!
Hee-chul, do I have to do this?
Be frank and say that you don't know.
How would you know when we only met once on the train?
Hee-chul always said this like a habit.
That he's a precious son.
When did I say that?
Since there was only one son for every generation,
Hee-chul's mother went through so much
trying to bear Hee-chul.
Hee-chul's mother did everything possible.
She even borrowed panties from a woman who bore many sons.
He said that his mother went through so much to bear him.
His grandmother was so good to his mother.
After she passed away bearing Soo-mi,
Hee-chul's grandmother was very misunderstood.
Poor girl! Poor girl...
Grandma, please stop crying.
This is impossible!
Father!
Aunt...
Soo-mi, you told her, didn't you?
This is fishy.
She has to talk about me!
Say something about me, okay?
Hee-chul was a good student.
To be frank, Hee-chul brags too much.
Sometimes I think
he's poking fun at me.
Uncle!
One time he bragged so much
he got into a fight.
His name was Young... something.
Young-deuk.
That's right. I don't need to see it to know.
He probably got hit after bragging about his grades.
That gave him the scar on his forehead.
That's why his grandmother went into a frenzy.
You still call her a fraud after that?
How did you know that?
You rotten bastard!
Punish me instead, Father!
Hee-chul keeps insisting on an abortion.
But I can't do it alone.
I'm sorry, Father!
What?
You rotten bastard!
I told you not to screw with me, didn't I?
How did you first meet Hee-chul?
Well...
Was it a sunny day?
Or a rainy day?
It did seem to have snowed.
Anyway, I was drinking tea.
I think Hee-chul was using the phone.
Oh my!
I don't care about a measly wallet.
Thanks to you, I've gained a precious encounter.
I run a drug store in Yongkang.
A pharmacist.
I'm CHOI Hee-chul.
How slimy.
That's really how you met him?
Think slimy was all?
I learned a lesson then.
Don't ever jump into someone else's business.
Love is so strange, considering what can be overcome.
Don't you think?
So what work do you do now?
I'm taking a rest.
Then what did you do before?
I was just...
I worked for a certain government organization.
So you've come on your own feet.
Now I don't have to climb in through the window.
Didn't you hear my father say
not to even step into the house?
Why is my father your father?
Who says so?
From what I know,
he's not your father after today.
It's just the two of us, so why don't we be frank.
What do you want?
My bag.
Your bag?
Because I'm in a certain bind, I can't either stay or go.
It's a real drag to be here,
you know? You remember my bag, right?
What would I know about your bag?
Did you leave it with me?
How could you say that?
I went to retrieve your ring, but I'm paying for it now.
So shouldn't you try to remember at least?
Oh yeah, the ring.
I don't know how precious that crappy bag was,
that ring was on that day?
- That crappy bag? - Yeah!
That crappy bag with the ragged handle.
All I need to do is buy you a new bag.
But how will you make up for what's happened to me?
So you don't know where it is?
You don't even know what was inside it.
That crappy bag?
Fine.
I'll wait here until you find it.
I don't have any place to go anyway.
How dare you?
Are you threatening me?
Oh boy, I can't wait to see what happens!
You have no sense at all!
You beast! How could you hit a woman?
You're a beast!
Die, you beast!
I'm hungry.
Stay for a long, long time, okay?
Yes, Grandma.
Hello!
- Going to work? - Yes.
Are you preparing well for the contest?
- Of course. - No matter what,
you have to win for the town, okay?
Yes, don't worry.
Have a nice day!
Hi, on your way somewhere?
I played a lot when I was young,
but I never abandoned my wife!
Not a single man did well after abandoning his wife!
For your father at least,
if you keep acting up...
That hurt!
Cover your stomach when you go to bed.
Be a nice boy.
Promise me.
Lightning will strike you down.
Right mom?
Make a woman cry, and lighting will strike you down.
You were right. She's really pretty.
I'm so envious.
The books are too old.
They have nothing to look at, so they just play.
Last time I estimated,
we need 4 million won to fill it up with books.
Why do I have to come into my own room like this?
Hey!
Wouldn't someone take this wrong?
Why the hell are you doing this to me?
Find my bag fast.
I don't have much time either.
- Why do you think that bag... - Mother!
Mother, where are you?
Mother, are you upstairs?
Mother!
- Is this it? - You crazy?
- Your fingerprints will get on it. - Okay already.
Can't it take faster?
Hey, I got one week through someone I know.
Think fingerprints are that easy?
Don't tell this to my Uncle.
- Why? - I'm surrounded by the enemy.
I'd live with her if it were me.
Shut up!
Let's go have a drink to cool me down.
I have to get a facial.
Hey, Pepper Boy.
Do they judge clothes at the contest?
I don't think so.
What about bikinis?
Bye.
See you later, Pepper Boy!
Watch it.
Go get 'em, Pepper Boy!
Watch it!
Eating fruits here taste the best.
You said that eating food here was the best earlier.
That, too!
He doesn't eat much at home,
but he always eats a lot here.
Just leave him be.
Your cooking's awful, that's why.
Help yourself to plenty.
Wait a minute.
If we all eat here like this everyday,
everything in my house will run out.
What kind of joke is that?
How could you make such a dumb joke?
Falling stars! Make a wish!
I hope Hee-chul wises up soon.
Hello?
Hi, it's JOO Young-ju.
Now you remember my name.
Is my sister there?
Why are you shouting?
I'm on a trip like you wanted.
Who cares if I'm fine or not.
I'm serious.
I'm in Yongkang, Choongchung Province.
When did you ever believe me?
Who's the one who said not to come?
What?
I'm hanging up!
Can't you come when I call you?
I know I did.
I wanted you to come quickly, but...
Of course there's nothing wrong...
Okay Jae-eun, I'll call you.
Bye.
Oh yeah, Young-deuk got hurt.
He can't go to Pepper Boy.
Pepper Boy?
It's a local event.
Several towns come out for the Pepper Boy Contest.
But not much time left till the contest.
We opened a town meeting today,
and everyone's worried.
The contest will open, but there's no alternative.
Is there prize money?
Of course, up to 4 million won.
Seeing that I was called back,
my father is beginning to raise doubts about you.
Hee-chul.
You have to enter the Pepper Boy Contest.
Do I look that stupid to you?
I'm gonna rat on you to Big Auntie.
Big Auntie...
Did you tell him?
He doesn't believe me.
He needs more punishment.
- Father, how are you? - Enter the Pepper Boy contest.
Pardon?
Win no matter what.
Then I'll disappear on my own.
Why are you calling all the shots?
Who else will?
Wait a minute.
Physical health?
Run the right way!
Look straight!
Think my body will improve in just a few days?
But it's better than not doing it at all, right?
Win, Hee-chul Pepper Boy!
- Win! - Win!
Win!
This Pepper Boy or whatever.
I can't do it!
I'll tell that to your father.
Jeez, he smiles so weird.
Is appearance that important?
Practice 100 times from now on.
All the judges are women representing each town.
Smiling is a necessity.
On stage,
don't forget to look straight at the judges.
Think of me as a judge and glance for five seconds.
Begin.
Look at me straight!
Loosen up your face!
Smile!
Brighter!
Can't you do it right?
What do you think?
No matter what, a man must know
how to grab a woman's heart.
My daughter from Seoul sent me this.
These fruits are good for the skin.
My mom says that you'll win for sure.
Thank you.
Even though your face is a bit slimy,
being a pharmacist will get you points.
Right mom?
What's the use in knowing the secrets of winning?
He has no special talent.
I feel sorry that I even started this.
Hello, I'm Tom Cruise.
Different one.
Hi, I'm Brad Pitt.
I give up.
What in the world is it
that you can do?
How was it?
Very slimy.
Then what? Something different?
Just do it.
Really?
There's nothing else anyway.
This is the best spot in our town.
Very nice, huh?
This is happiness.
Living in a place like this
with a family like yours.
You have to be thankful.
That's what Jae-eun needs to say.
Who? Your girlfriend?
If she doesn't, oh well.
Like someone said,
you can always return to this place.
Even if you cheat others, you can't cheat yourself.
I don't know your predicament,
but tell her you'll do whatever she wants and marry her.
Then try talking to her again.
Lying would be easy, right?
You think lying is easy?
Lying is an intense mind game.
The front and end of your story must match.
You need a good memory and fast coordination.
And painfully creative.
Sounds like a thesis to me.
Think lying is nothing?
Your lying doesn't work on me anymore.
When normal people lie, it shows.
But when you tell the truth, it shows.
Your face gets red.
Wanna try me?
Go for it.
- How much? - 10,000 won.
Cheapskate.
Alright, starting now tell me whether I'm lying or not.
Shoot.
Hey, I see the symptoms.
Hurry up.
What shall I do?
I...
I've started to like you.
That's strange.
Your face got red.
I'm a ninth degree liar.
You'll never match up to me.
And Hee-chul, you fit here.
You resemble this place.
When your girlfriend comes, she'll know.
I'm back.
Sis is here.
Right.
No, your sister and your friend are here.
Young-ju!
Why are you so hard to reach?
Your sister was so worried about you.
You don't know how shocked I was when I heard that you died.
Who said that?
- The grandmother. - You're too late!
- The grandmother died three... - Mom, please sit down.
I heard from your in-laws.
You had it hard, huh?
I didn't know you'd be here.
I looked everywhere for you.
Hey, my acting has gotten a lot better, huh?
Lighten up. This is an old reunion.
How'd you get out?
Bail!
You know our acting is bad.
We used money to get out.
How'd you know I was here?
I asked a friend in Busan.
- Why? - What do you mean "why"?
Think you'd stay put?
You lay down the groundwork, and we come share the pie.
My pie, too.
Why would Young-ju be here?
Because there's more potential.
One of the uncles is a cop.
Why? Don't want to?
Planning to rat on us?
Then I guess
we'd have to tell them we were cellmates.
What?
Have some fruit.
Okay.
What if I said let's all split?
Say something that's more like you.
Just leave without all that money out there?
She's right.
Hey, we're not being too greedy.
You take half.
Hwa-sook and I will take the rest.
What do you say?
Fine, let's do it together.
Certainly.
Since I've laid out the plan,
you can do what I say, right?
But of course.
D-day is the Pepper Festival.
Kill the cigarettes!
I really worship you.
I've seen it all,
but your fraud seem like the truth.
The truth.
These are sun peppers, right?
Yes, ma'am.
You can make crushed red peppers. They're delicious.
They're nice and ripe.
So all that money is the Mayor's?
No.
The Mayor is handling all that money.
There's so much money, huh?
- And it's all cash. - You're right.
Yes, Next program
From Yongyee Town, Pepper Boy 5, SUNG Sang-bae.
Hello!
Healthy peppers!
Clean peppers!
From Yongyee Town, I'm Pepper Boy 5, SUNG Sang-bae.
Go Sung-bae!
Next is contestant number seven.
From Yongkang, CHOI Hee-chul!
I'm CHOI...
No, I mean, from Yongkang, I'm CHOI...
CHOI... CHOI Hee-chul.
That was the last contestant.
We've just been introduced to all the contestants
of the Eighth Eumsung
Pepper Boy Contest.
What do you think, everyone?
They all look handsome and manly, yes?
Until the contest is over...
- Why are you so late? - I'm sorry!
What took you so long?
Hurry and get ready.
Are you on vibration mode?
CHOI, CHOI, CHOI, CHOI Hee-chul.
It's not my fault if I don't win.
I told you I didn't want to do it.
You try going out on stage.
Yongkang's three-year wish to win is all over now.
It's not my wish.
I should've jumped ship already.
Then I wouldn't have gone through this nightmare.
That's such a hopeful thing to say for the town.
We can't use this.
That woman
Who nurses his pain
That woman who cries with her head down
Isn't that Young-ju?
- Is it Young-ju? - It's her. It's her.
A woman, woman, woman
You don't know how I feel
My true heart
Your love for me
You don't know How much I need it
Where did our costumes go?
I swear I hung it here.
That woman
Who soothes his loneliness
That woman who's grown tired in time
What's weak in this world is A woman, woman, woman
You don't know how I feel
My true heart
My love for you
You don't know How precious it is
Sometimes
I can't understand
What you're feeling inside
But still
You're a precious
Man, man, man for me
That woman who dreams of happiness
That woman who waits for love
That woman, woman, woman
Hold on!
This is a disqualification!
This is wrong!
He has to do it by himself!
Bringing a chorus is cheating! There's nothing in the rules
that say we can't do that.
Who are you to argue with me?
This all because of you!
You should've stayed out of it!
Who the hell are you to cause this outrage?
Don't yell like that at our daughter-in-law!
Didn't she say that it wasn't in the rules?
That's right!
Those women planned all this!
Please, let's not spoil this great occasion.
Please calm down everyone.
Excuse me.
First, I'd like to apologize for arguing with that gentleman.
Since I've started all this, why don't I make a proposal.
To be a true Pepper Boy,
isn't it important
as to how much he loves peppers?
So what I would like to say is...
A true love for peppers.
How about a pepper-eating contest?
For our two highest-scoring finalists,
this is their last hurdle.
As you all know already,
these peppers are known to be very hot.
Will that be okay?
A hot, hot pepper-eating match!
Whoever eats the most peppers
in a minute wins.
Are our two finalists ready?
Begin!
Truly amazing!
They should be really hot!
I forfeit.
Pepper boy.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this year's new Pepper Boy
is CHOI Hee-chul from Yongkang Town!
Let's congratulate him with a big round of applause!
Yongkang's Wonderful Pepper, CHOI Hee-chul
Hee-chul!
He's my nephew!
Please have some.
Really?
Okay. Bye!
Guess what?
After buying all the books, there's 100,000 won left.
Sign up for fashion classes.
Think I could?
But Hee-chul had a fit for not seeing any of the money.
You know your brother's my prey.
Thanks, sis.
- Soo-mi! - Coming!
I'll tell her you're sleeping, so don't come out.
You're not leaving today, are you?
I put a letter I wrote
to your father in your desk drawer.
I've explained everything in the letter.
Why change all of a sudden?
You're really leaving today?
Honestly, I did regret making a bad judgment,
but I think it was good to come here and return the ring.
Your family would've been so upset
if they had lost it.
But I still haven't found your bag.
But I leave with a lot.
You've gone through a lot.
I'm sorry.
Also, you were great today.
Hee-chul!
Sis, I see you're also here.
Carry it right!
Be careful.
Jae-eun.
Hee-chul!
My bag!
Oh yeah, you left this bag in the cafe.
Hyung-suk told me to bring it here on my way.
Hey, let's get ready to leave.
Jae-eun.
It's hectic here, isn't it?
Let's go somewhere else and talk.
That woman who cries with her head down
In this world...
Are you surprised?
Yeah, a little.
This place really fits you well.
It's like a dream.
A dreamy place.
I know that a part of you
still wants to stay here.
Of course, I also know how you feel about me.
But what's certain
is that I don't belong here.
Jae-eun, you see...
I came here to tell you this. And it was time to do it.
Whatever your choice is, I'll be okay.
Now, it's your turn. I hope you make a wise decision.
But I won't wait long.
Show me your true feelings.
I just hope that you'll be true to yourself.
Okay.
Honestly...
I should've said thank you.
What?
Mayor, I need the key to the safe to settle the account.
But there's no money in the safe.
What?
My daughter-in-law insisted that I be careful,
so I deposited it all into the bank.
I see.
Anyway, have you seen my daughter-in-law?
Hey, give it here.
You can't open it without the key.
Let me just touch it.
- How'd you get this? - - It hurts!
I stole it, of course. Hey, I said it hurts!
Stop the car!
- Give it back now! - This isn't like you!
What's with you lately?
We can also sell this and split the money!
Fine, you can have my share in the safe, so give it.
What? What's with you now?
What are you trying to pull?
- Hey, just give it to her. - But this is a diamond ring!
Now, you idiot.
I said you can have the money!
You better not change your mind.
Hey!
I really can't figure you out.
Let's not meet again.
Leaving?
I'm sorry I can't be here any longer.
Stay healthy, Grandma.
You always say
that everyone has died already.
But live a long, long time.
Sis!
I thought you had left!
Why do you have to leave?
Hee-chul's the one who has to leave!
I'll show him!
- No, Father. - You stay put!
Soo-mi, go find Hee-chul.
I'm gonna show him a thing or two!
How dare he bring another girl here.
There you are!
Miss JOO Young-ju, correct?
Mayor, has anything been
stolen or any harm...
Young-deuk!
Just hurry and go.
Go where, you bastard?
Father,
later I'll tell...
Sir, calm down!
That woman isn't what you...
Stop!
I have something to say.
I should've told you all sooner.
To be honest,
I have no relation with Hee-chul.
Like Hee-chul said,
I met him for the first time on a train.
I saw a pickpocket take his ring.
And I stole it back from him.
Because...
Because I'm currently on parole,
I thought you'd mistake me as the thief.
On parole?
So you were in prison?
Yes, Father.
I'm sorry.
Don't say anymore and just go.
Since I left my bag on the train,
if I could reach Hee-chul,
I thought I could retrieve it, so I came here.
But when I met Hee-chul's Uncle in the drug store,
I thought I wouldn't be able
to go to my sister's wedding.
I'm very sorry.
You all treated me so well.
I was scared to see you all disappointed.
I was too ashamed to even tell you
how thankful I am.
But...
you were all so good to me.
Thank you very much.
I'm very sorry.
Let me be.
Please come with me.
If no harm has been done, then isn't it okay?
Sis!
Why are you being so stubborn?
If she hasn't come by now, she won't.
Something must've came up, so she won't come.
It's almost time. Let's change, okay?
Wait a minute!
There's still time.
Stop crying!
You'll ruin your make-up,
Why are you so stubborn?
Aren't you getting married?
She's dead meat if she shows up.
Are you stupid? Just wear whatever.
You must be rich to rent all those dresses.
Who made me this way, dummy?
It would be nice
if my only sister had no temper.
What do you mean by that?
I'm alright, dummy.
Yeah, I heard that Jae-eun got in.
You know she's stronger than me.
Yeah, I'm feeling better now, eating well, and doing okay,
so don't worry.
Take care.
I see you've fixed mom's chair.
Been a few days.
I went to the storeroom, and it was fixed already.
Everyone had forgotten about it.
She's got a gift for doing woodwork.
Young-ju fixed it and left.
Didn't I say you'd be a bad boy
if you leave leftovers?
New order.
Shanghai pasta.
Miss, I'd like some water.
Coming right up!
- Here's your order. - Yummy.
Two waters for table seven.
- Table seven? - Please hurry.
- Can I have some coffee? - Sure thing!
Mom, a falling star!
You're not going to clear things up?
You have to clear up everything.
Is there still some confusion left?
You know what my family thinks of me thanks to you?
We were lovers for a long time,
but you became a political prisoner.
And I'm a disgrace for leaving you for another girl.
Have you learned how to lie?
It's not a lie.
Hee-chul, it's me, Young-ju.
I can see your lies.
Wanna bet?
10,000 won?
Cheapskate.
It's a deal.
Look carefully.
See if it's a lie or not.
What shall I do?
You see...
I like you, Young-ju.
To say this to you,
I gave it a lot of thought,
and I was going to give up.
But I was only cheating myself.
The Young-ju that I saw,
and me wanting to be true to myself
is why I said that.
It's the truth.
I like you, Young-ju.
Give me 10,000 won.
Don't you know yet?
- You lost. - How do you know that?
Give me 10,000 won.
Fine.
But instead,
will you come down to Yongkang?
It's a very nice place that you'll like very much.
Also...
There are many good people
who miss you there.
Hee-chul, your wallet.
Oh no! Hey mister! Oh no!
Hee-chul, your wallet!
- We have to catch him. - Let him have it.
I don't want
a measly wallet
to interfere with this moment.
Hi, we're Hee-chul's friends!
From what we heard, you really are pretty!
You're so pretty!
We froze for two hours! Buy us drinks!
I heard from Soo-mi.
So is this
how we start things off?
Buy us drinks!
