What kind of friend is he?
(Cho Hyung-woo: 43, adult movie director) - He's full of energy.
He's righteous and humorous.
Basically, he's a great man.
He's thoughtful.
He can never turn a blind eye to those in need.
Although there's an age gap,
he makes me want to depend on him like an older brother.
He's a reliable guy.
(Ahn Goong-chul: 45, High-Five Chicken Chief Sales Officer)
While others barely have one thing,
he has everything.
He puts his life on the line to defend that happiness.
He's hot-tempered.
But he would never murder anyone.
There are times when he gets angry.
But he would never kill someone!
Sometimes, he loses his temper.
But he probably didn't kill him.
I'm sure...
...he wanted to kill him though.
Over here!
Hey, Goong-chul!
(Episode 1)
(Episode 1: Confession)
What time did you come home?
2 a.m.?
3 a.m.?
4 a.m. It was 4 a.m.
Were you late again helping the newly opened store's sales?
No, I just bought some drinks as a courtesy.
I told you to take care of your body.
You've been getting drunk when you used to never get drunk.
Don't you think that's a problem?
I had a dream that I was falling again last night.
That's the third time this month.
Doesn't it seems strange?
You're a pro at changing the topic.
I think I feel uneasy or anxious.
Or it might be an ominous sign that
I'll get caught up in something bad soon.
As a psychiatrist, what do you think?
If you want a consult,
come to the hospital and make an appointment.
You're so mean.
Are we strangers?
I'm your almighty husband.
Give me more coffee.
Here you go.
Dad.
- Please give me more milk. - Okay.
Here.
- That's enough. - Okay.
You said the 1000th store is celebrating today, right?
Yes. Yes, yes.
Yes.
The chairman has been singing my praises to everybody.
I'm so embarrassed.
"This is all thanks to Mr. Ahn."
"We would've never had a 1000th store without Mr. Ahn."
"Mr. Ahn is the greatest treasure in my life."
So?
Did he say he'll give you a bonus this time?
A bonus?
He didn't mention any.
Anybody could give praises. Actions speak louder.
Giving praises is the same thing as taking action.
Materialistic rewards aren't that important.
Materialistic rewards are payment for your hard work.
The chairman only sings your praises without rewarding you.
You work so hard but you're satisfied with just those words of praise.
In my opinion, you both seem irresponsible.
What?
Irresponsible?
How could you say that I'm irresponsible in front of our child?
Do you want Yoo-bin to think of me as an irresponsible guy?
He already learned from you.
That's why he's so irresponsibly carefree even when he places last in his class.
That's not being irresponsible. He's positive and carefree!
What in the world?
You're going to work dressed like that?
What's wrong with this outfit?
How could you...
Your chest is exposed. I can practically see your belly button!
Your breasts are exposed right now.
I told you I have an important meeting tonight.
A meeting?
What meeting?
Right! You said you're going to a host bar.
Why are you dressed like this when you're going there?
Because I don't want to be old lady.
You're driving me insane.
It was hard enough for me to give you permission to go there.
You don't want to be an old lady?
My goodness!
Hurry up and change into this while I'm still being nice.
You gave me permission?
Of course! What kind of husband would easily agree to let his wife go to a host bar?
I'm allowing you to go because I'm me!
Look, Mr. Ahn Goong-chul.
Did I ever complain once when you were frequenting escort bars?
That's because I went there for business! They were business meetings!
I'm going there on a business meeting too!
I didn't say anything.
Don't drink too much when you're there.
I hate it when you have a hangover.
You remember the trick I told you before, right?
The one where you spit out the drink as you pretend to wipe your mouth.
And the one where you drink oolong tea as if it's liquor, right?
I won't drink so don't worry.
Jung-hae.
Please change before you go! Your outfit is too revealing right now!
It's not appropriate business attire!
I'm late.
- Jung-hae! - I'm leaving.
Nam Jung-hae! Jung-hae!
Jung-hae!
Jung-hae, come here!
Jung-hae!
I won't come home too late.
Jung-hae! Nam Jung-hae!
Are you really leaving like that? Jung-hae!
I got a call from Dr. Ko already.
The chairperson is feeling lonely these days with her 60th birthday coming up.
I'm sure she does.
That's why I made a reservation at a great place.
A great place?
Where?
I'll send you the address.
See you later tonight.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
Many cars use this street.
You probably don't need to speed like that.
This street isn't just for cars.
I believe you were also over the speed limit.
I'm in a hurry to get to work.
Please contact me if anything happens.
No.
I think we were both at fault.
If anything happens, let's each take care of it on our own.
I'm in a hurry to get to work too.
Our High-Five Chicken...
Without each and every one of you,
we would've never opened up our 1000th store!
You're mine and High-Five Chicken's greatest treasure!
What do you think?
Isn't the speech kind of cliched?
Cliched? No, sir! You're the best!
- Really? - Yes, sir.
Where did Mr. Ahn go?
I believe he went to the 1000th store.
- 1000th store? - Yes.
He's just getting worked up by himself again.
The absolute best!
- Heavenly flavor! 1000th store! - Now open!
High-Five!
Try to use up all the ingredients every day.
- Yes, sir! - The remaining ingredients...
...should be tightly sealed so they're as fresh as possible.
Yes, yes.
I'm sure you'll do well on your own.
Thank you.
Good. It looks good.
Don't worry, sir.
You didn't go to the party today?
I'm not one for parties.
I see.
- Good luck. - Yes, sir.
- Goodbye! - Goodbye!
Hey, hey.
I'll get going now.
Thank you for taking such good care of all the time!
We'll never forget what you done for us. We'll pay you back!
Oh, don't mention it, ma'am!
- Thank you, Mr. Ahn! - Thank you, Mr. Ahn!
I'm so happy that I can work again.
After I was forced to retire...
...I spent the past few years just sighing up a storm at the Han River.
(Hajung City)
Hey, Goong-chul!
You're almost done with work, right?
I'm in front of city hall. Should we go together?
Sounds good!
Yes.
I'll be done with work soon.
Call me when you're near here.
Okay!
It's been a while since we got together.
He's not even human! He's not!
What? I'm not even human?
Then what am I? An animal?
You're worse than that!
Because of you,
my skin droops even with Botox!
Even when I take digestive medicine, I have indigestion!
Doctor, you heard what he just said, right?
You two...
...aren't doing anything I asked you to do.
I told you several times to only remember the good memories.
You're only thinking of the bad memories.
Throughout the entire consult,
you're only saying hurtful things to each other.
You're wounding each other when your prior wounds haven't even healed.
So it's natural for the wounds to get infected.
Do you want your infected wounds to get better?
Or do you want them to rot and be cut out?
Mr. Lee Jae-min.
Am I that hard to digest?
I guess you're going to take digestive medicine again today!
You called me an animal.
You must be happy living with an animal!
Goodness!
I'm so frustrated! Jeez!
I guess you're going to take digestive medicine again today!
Do I make you have indigestion?
Ms. Ji Myeong-sook.
Ms. Ji Myeong-sook!
Yes.
(Ji Myeong-sook)
It's been a while, Jung-hae.
When I saw the name, I wondered if it was you.
Please have a seat.
Yes.
(Self-Diagnosis Test for Depression)
You have early stage depression.
I told you to collect taxes a long time ago! Why is it taking so long?
Mr. Cheon.
Did you take a bribe from them?
Of course not, sir.
That's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous, right?
If you know it's ridiculous, why aren't you collecting taxes?
There would be no problem if you collect taxes on time!
Why are you causing trouble by not collecting them?
They're divorces on paper so...
I'm sorry.
You're always saying sorry!
Please stop apologizing!
Please just do a good job of collecting taxes!
You drive me crazy when you pretend to be the good guy!
My blood pressure's going up.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
Make sure you fill out the tax collection paperwork and submit them by today.
And...!
If you fail to collect taxes within a month, you will place last in evaluations!
Do you understand?
If you don't want to work, you should just resign and start a chicken restaurant.
(Man-sik)
Yes, Man-sik.
Goong-chul.
I'm sorry but something came up at work today.
I think I'm going to be late.
You haven't arrived yet, right?
No.
Something urgent came up for me too.
Let's meet up at the O.W. later.
Yes, should we do that?
They can't do anything without me here.
Of course, of course.
See you later.
Okay.
(Outlaw of the Wilderness)
Are you sleeping there?
Sob, sob.
Yes, I'm sleeping here tonight.
You scared me.
My wife is finally spending the night at the hot springs tonight!
Hey!
I'm going to party all night so you all better cooperate. Okay?
Especially you, Ahn Goong-chul.
You better not go home first.
Why are you picking on me?
I'm not leaving because I want to.
My heart wants to party all night
but my body can't keep up so what can I do?
Hey.
This is my first taste of freedom in 6 years!
Can't you even party with your friend all night?
Is our friendship that insignificant?
If you die while partying, do you get a Friendship Pension?
If you do, then I'll party all night.
Friendship Pension....Friendship Pension Insurance.
That sounds like a good idea.
I should suggest it at work.
So what are you going to do all night?
Let's hear what you have in mind.
I don't know either.
But is that important?
What's important is that we're together regardless of what we do.
Don't you agree?
Okay, let's say cheers! Cheers!
No, toast! Toast!
A toast!
Here. Your glass is empty too.
Mine is full.
Okay! Toast! Toast!
Look at how happy he is.
Is he that happy that his wife's staying out the night?
He should just get a divorce so he's alone every day.
Hey, it's not easy to get a divorce.
You need to be well off to do that.
Oh, sir!
Hyung-woo!
I'm a regular here too! Should we say cheers as regulars?
That's why I got a divorce.
He cheated on me many times.
It didn't matter if the women were pretty or not.
He would flirt with every new woman he met!
I thought I would die of anger first if I had to continue putting up with that.
Drink, drink.
Dr. Nam, you golf, right?
No, ma'am.
I stopped learning.
Oh, dear.
There's someone I want to introduce to you.
But the person's crazy about golf.
I'm going to go golf with the person on a weekend next month.
So you should learn as much as you can and join us that day.
Ma'am, who are you talking about?
Please introduce us to that individual too!
She's right.
I'll set up a meeting for you two later.
- Do you mean that? - Yes.
Oh, right.
I heard there's an opening for a professor position at the hospital.
- You applied too, right? - Yes.
That individual may be able to help you.
Goong-chul!
You're late!
- Welcome. - Did you eat dinner?
Yes, I ate.
Do you still have that much work to do these days?
Why are you busier than me when I have two jobs?
I'm a little busy.
It's because he's a civil servant.
Eat up.
Thank you1
Nobody's going to steal your food!
We won't steal it so take your time and eat slowly.
Should I?
You know our Man-sik loves fish cake soup.
Man-sik, try some of this too.
Thanks.
Hey, you look terrible.
Are you sick?
No, I'm not sick.
Your face looks worse than his.
I told you to take care of your skin, old man.
Look at how wrinkly you are.
I'm craving jjageuri.
That's right.
I would rather be a fish cake inside the ttukbaegi than myself.
I'm turning 50 soon but my kid is only 7 now.
My bank account is nearly 0.
My immature wife is always whining about wanting a purse!
I don't know if I'm making money to live
or living to make money.
You should know that you're happy.
At your age, many people are forced to retire and they die of some disease.
Do you think that comforts me in any way?
Cheer up, Choon-bok.
The average life expectancy is 100 and you're 50 so you're still young!
Our 1000th store owner is turning 60 now.
But he's so full of energy!
I envy you the most!
You're the chief director of a successful company.
And you have a successful wife who's a doctor.
You should envy Jae-hoon more than Goong-chul.
He's a successful doctor.
Plus, he's divorced.
When you think about it,
no guy is happier than you.
Even when you don't work and play around, your rich wife adores you.
- Dear Hyung-woo! - Jeez!
Now that I think about it, I'm the only unlucky one!
That's right. You've been unhappy for a long time.
It's fine now.
Happiness will come your way soon.
Happiness will come your way!
Do you think so?
Even though I can't do it?
- What can't you do? - What can't you do?
Guys.
To be honest...
I...
Even when I take Viagra, I can't get it up.
Sir, can I get some more soup?
I'm going to go use the restroom.
Do you understand how I feel?
I feel empty for no reason these days.
My joints ache as if they have holes in them.
I'm really looking forward to today.
Yes, ma'am.
I shouldn't be the only one drinking.
Do you want a drink too?
No, not today...
Really? Then would you like a refreshing cup of water?
Yes, ma'am.
- We should toast. - Of course.
- Let's say a toast. - Yes.
- To Dr. Nam! - Cheers!
Cheers!
The drink tastes great.
If you're done talking, should I bring in the boys?
Virility King!
My name's Joon.
I'm ready to warm up your bodies and hearts.
I'm a hot man.
My name's Hyun.
I'm a sweet man who's sweeter than chocolate.
My name's Kang.
One million twenty-one, one million twenty-two.
One million twenty-three!
I'm a human fast charger. My name's Min.
They're the aces of our bar.
Should I bring in the next set of players?
We'll just go with those guys.
- What do you think? - Sounds good.
- Hey, Virility King. Come here. - Yes, ma'am.
Then I'll go with Sweet Man.
My glucose level is low these days.
Then I should go with the Fast Charger.
My battery's empty these days.
Have a seat here.
Hold on.
Then I guess you should sit next to Dr. Nam, Hot Man.
Yes.
Hold on.
If you can't warm up this lady tonight,
you won't get any tip, sir.
I'll keep that in mind, ma'am.
Okay! Let's have some fun now!
Yes!
- Have some drinks. - Yes, ma'am.
I hope you have a good time.
If you need anything, please feel free to tell me.
- It's good. - Goodness.
So what happened?
What do you think happened?
I was kicked out of the room.
Kicked out?
I never imagined that Eun-sil would be that cruel.
She was too mean.
How scary.
Imagine how she must've felt to do that.
My Eun-sil didn't do anything wrong.
It's all my fault.
I told you to take care of your body, Choon-bok!
You should exercise!
I don't have time to exercise!
I don't even have enough time to make money!
Let's go hike!
You scared me!
Hey, did you dream?
Why are you talking about hiking out of the blue?
Let's...let's take care of our bodies.
I heard hiking is the best form of exercise for your lower half of body.
What would you do after you strengthen your lower body?
You will never be able to cheat on your wife.
Hey, are you sure it strengthens your lower body?
Are you sure?
When should we go hiking? Should we go this Saturday?
I can't go.
Tomorrow is my Jung-hae's birthday.
We sent Yoo-bin to his friend's house.
I'm going to dedicate the whole day to Jung-hae tomorrow.
Oh, right.
Jung-hae's birthday was around this time of year.
Then what about Sunday?
I guess it would be too difficult.
It would probably be difficult because I would stay up all night tomorrow but...
For the sake of our Choon-bok's lower body...
I'll sacrifice myself for him!
Fine! Let's go hiking!
Thank you! Thank you, Goong-chul!
Don't mention it.
It's been a while since we went hiking up a mountain.
So let's say a toast.
Okay! Fly! Fly!
- Phoenix! Phoe! - Phoe!
- Phoe. - Phoenix!
Phoenix!
Hey.
Then we'll go to the mountains on Sunday.
Gather around.
Why?
Today...
Let's play with those girls.
Good work today.
Thank you.
Thank you for visiting today.
Please take good care of them.
Don't worry and go home safely.
Your treatment isn't over yet so stop by when you have time.
Yes, I understand.
There's someone I want to introduce to you.
The individual's crazy about golf.
I'm going to golf with the person on a weekend next month.
So practice hard and join us that day.
It's been a while, ma'am!
I'm here to practice.
Are you going to start again?
I'm glad you changed your mind.
We have a new coach who's very talented!
He looks handsome too!
Give me a minute.
Please tell Coach Joo to come downstairs.
Okay.
He'll be here soon.
Oh, over here.
Sit.
Let's drink with them.
Let's drink with them and have some fun. Please?
Why are you like this in the neighborhood?
Do you have a death wish?
I don't care if I die.
Hey, if I can have a drink with girls like them, I don't care if I die.
Don't you know how your wife is?
She won't just kill you. She'll kill us all!
Stop whining and come to your senses, you fool!
Come on!
What good are friends for?
Can't you grant a dying man's wish?
It's my first day of freedom in 6 years.
Don't you even feel sorry for me?
He's saying it's his wish. I would grant him his wish if I were you.
He's right. You know Hyung-woo's usually not like this.
He must really like those girls to ask this.
How dare you guys.
If you want to play that much,
then here we go!
Rock-paper-scissors, ant's anus, dog sings, and MSG tastes great!
- Hooray! - Hey, one more round!
Hey, let's do it one more time!
You wanted to play so it's right that you go.
Hey, you know I'm shyer than I look.
Hey.
Fine!
Fine, then...
One of you, please go with me.
Please go with me.
Come on.
Two minutes passed.
Go if you will or forget it.
I'll be back.
Hurry up and go.
You must be insane!
- I'm telling you that happened! - Hey, drink!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Excuse me.
Let's have a drink together.
We'll buy.
Forget it.
You should drink by yourself, mister.
We're not old men. We aren't.
I know a great place that makes a mean eel dish.
We should go there and play some games. Then...
We said we're not interested! Please leave!
You're making me lose my appetite.
Goodness!
I stopped you from losing your appetite.
That tastes delicious.
You kept smiling at us earlier.
Hey, mister.
We smiled at you?
How ridiculous!
This is so ridiculous!
This is so flabbergasting.
Mister.
We weren't smiling at you, mister.
We were smiling at Park Bo-gun.
Don't you know Park Bo-gun?
- Pardon? - Jeez!
He's fooling himself.
- What the hell? - Jeez!
Leave!
I'm sorry.
I lost my appetite.
They should be ashamed of themselves. How ridiculous.
Here he comes.
They said they weren't smiling at us.
What?
They said they were smiling at him.
(Do you want a drink with Bo-gun?)
How humiliating.
Hey, watch your heads!
Watch your head!
It says to watch your head here!
You pay this time.
Here's your food.
Jeez!
Why would you bring something that tastes so bad?
Hey, mister!
Are you out of your mind?
I just fried this.
What is this?
How can this cost $20?
Are you looking down on us?
Hey, let's go. Let's go.
I'm sure nothing will happen. Don't worry about it.
Hey, look at all their tattoos.
Think carefully.
Should I call the police?
If you don't like this dish, I'll exchange it for something else.
You should go on ahead of me.
Please don't.
Do you think we're fools?
You can go stuff yourself, man!
Are you okay, sir?
Bring us another dish!
Who are you?
What are you doing?
What is he doing?
Goong-chul!
I'm wearing slippers! Jeez!
[OnDemandKorea Ver] jTBC E01 'Elegant Friends' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
Pull your shirts down.
Why do you keep scratching yourselves?
Get dressed properly!
Wear your shoes!
You're old enough to know better than fight in the neighborhood!
I refuse to settle!
They refuse to settle.
So let's go by the law.
I think I'm going to be a little late tonight.
Prepare to sleep here tonight.
This is your fault.
Excuse me.
- Officer. - What?
Tomorrow is the birthday of the person I love and adore the most in my life.
My wife.
She's turning 45.
Congratulations!
- Thank you! Thank you! - So what?
Can you at least release just me?
- I'll come back and... - We can't hear you. Speak up.
I'll come back the day after tomorrow.
You can't do that here.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not kidding. I'm really not!
I made reservations at a restaurant
that's impossible to get a reservation 2 months ago.
I'll go out and come back the day after tomorrow. I mean it.
Come back here.
If you have a taser gun, please shoot him.
Stop saying ridiculous things and go sit down!
- Officer! I...! - Have a seat!
- Officer! - Hey, you!
Who's that?
Who laid a hand on our boys?
Was it you? Was it you?
I'm going to pluck out his eyes
and I'm going to cut them up into 5 parts with a pipe.
Welcome, boss!
Goodness.
This is just ridiculous. How did you get beat up so badly?
Who was it?
Who did this?
Who?
Goodness.
Who is he?
This is so ridiculous.
Hey.
Did you guys beat up my boys?
You're old enough to know better. You should just stay home.
What do you think you're doing?
Hey!
Do you want to die?
Let me at least see your face.
Hey, lift your head up.
Unless you want to die, lift your head up.
Mister, lift your head up.
What the hell?
Aren't you the urologist, Dr. Jae-hoon?
You should get up now.
No, please just kill us!
You gave me a new life! Hope!
My immature boys made a huge mistake because they didn't know that.
Bow, you fools!
We're sorry, sir!
Mistakes happen.
I'm sure our Dr. Jung doesn't want to see you like this too.
- Dr. Jung. - Yes?
Please get up now.
This is humiliating. We're sorry.
We'll get going now.
Yes...
See you.
Dr. Jung!
What did he mean when he said you gave him a new life and hope?
I performed his enlargement surgery.
It means the sun came up in his dark life.
What's wrong with your pressure when you're able to change someone else's life?
Did you ever see a monk shave his own head?
I don't think you're one to criticize my urine pressure.
Cho Hyung-woo.
If you ever suggest we drink with girls again, I'll kill you.
Jeez! I got it!
How many times is that? Should I say it 100 times?
- I got it. I got it. I got it. - Hey, hey!
Be quiet! I can't concentrate!
Hey, it feels like seeing me when I was young.
Were you ever young?
When I was his age, I couldn't even urinate in public.
I would've create sinkholes!
What the hell?
I fainted once when mine backfired onto my face.
You should've killed a bird with your urine pressure.
Didn't I ever mention this?
When I was in my prime, I would catch the wild boars in the mountain like this!
Man-sik. Man-sik?
Did you just laugh at me?
- Did you? - That's cold!
It's cold!
What do you think you're doing?
Your shots won't get better just by using force.
Grab it.
Don't move your right leg.
Use your waist and practice your swings.
Remember how that just felt.
Then you'll get much better.
Next time, just tell me and I'll understand.
Showing someone is more effective than just telling someone.
Oh, right.
I don't have any ulterior motives.
So don't worry.
I heard you opened up your 1000th store.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
It feels like just yesterday, we opened up our 100th store.
I'm so moved.
I think you're really awesome, Goong-chul.
You're my friend but I admire you sometimes.
What's wrong, man?
Do you need some money?
Hey, I mean it!
You keep trying until you succeed when you set your heart on something.
That's really amazing.
I'm grateful but this is making me blush so please stop.
Hey, should we sit here for a little while?
- Should we? - Yes.
Everything's okay at work, right?
Of course.
There's nothing to go wrong.
Every day is the same day for civil servants.
Is Soo-ah doing well?
Yes.
It's amazing!
I heard she placed first in her class last semester too!
Again?
I'm so proud of her!
It must be so hard for her to be somewhere so far alone! In Canada!
I'm really, really envious of you!
I'm just glad she doesn't take after me.
Goodness!
Goong-chul.
Yes?
To be honest...
I have something to confess to you.
Confess?
You know...
To be honest, I...
Hello!
- Hello! - Hello!
Oh, right!
It's the day when you go for drinks!
Yes, we were talking after we were on our way back home.
It's great to see you two together.
I had a friend of 40 years too.
But last year, he passed away.
After he died,
nothing feels fun to me.
Life feels so empty!
Life isn't...!
I'm being ridiculous again.
Have a good time!
Thank you.
Goodbye.
What did you want to confess?
Never mind. It's nothing.
What do you mean it's nothing? Hurry up and tell me.
Come on!
I forgot.
What?
Hey!
Are you kidding me? Here I go!
Here I go!
- Come on! - Hey, that hurts!
- Come here! - I really forgot!
I'll tell you later when I remember!
You bastard!
Hey, are you okay?
- Are you okay? - Let go of me!
Jeez!
Come on!
See you!
Goong-chul.
Did you remember?
Please wish Jung-hae happy birthday for me.
Okay, man! I will!
See you.
See you on Sunday.
Oh, you fool.
Goodbye, Man-sik!
See you!
I'm sorry.
Did I wake you up?
You're home late.
Yes.
Today's the day I have drinks with the guys.
We need to send Soo-ah's tuition by the end of this month.
Is it that time of month already?
Okay.
Honey.
Do you...
....want to have a drink with me?
Did you ever see me drink?
Wash up and go to sleep.
Oh, okay.
You should reach out first, Myeong-sook.
Dad!
Why did you drink so much?
Didn't you say you're sleeping there?
Oh, that smell1
I guess she had a drink after she went up Mount Bukhan with Aunt Choon-ja.
Why did she go there? Didn't she go to the hot springs?
I don't know either! She was already like this when she called me!
- Put me down! - Anyways!
I did my duty so you're responsible for the rest!
Good work, son.
- Good job, son! - Forget it.
My eldest son!
- My eldest son! - Let's go sleep.
Kiss! Give me a kiss!
I missed you all day!
Since we're home, let's have another round of drinks! Just the two of us.
You're already drunk! Why would you drink again? Go sleep!
Let's just have one more drink!
Can't you at least do that for me?
Come on! One more drink!
I'll tip you!
No? Okay?
Fine then! I'll give you four bills!
Hey, can't you at least do this for me?
Honey.
Are you asleep?
Honey.
So?
You're going to speed learn golf within a month?
I'm just going to learn how to do the forms.
How's the greasy coach?
I heard he quit.
I guess he was fired.
The new coach is kind of handsome.
But he's kind of cold. He's not like the kids these days.
He's...
He seems very defensive.
He looks young.
But he seems to be hurt quite badly.
So?
So did that wounded guy steal your heart?
It would be my body, not my heart.
Nam Jung-hae.
Are you trying to provoke me?
- How was today's party? Did you do well? - Of course.
Did you have fun at the host bar?
Of course, it was.
Look at how honest you are.
You should've been focusing on doing business instead of having fun.
The person hosting the meeting should have fun so that the others have fun too.
Isn't that what you call a professional?
Yes, yes.
Ms. Nam Jung-hae.
So did you accomplish your goal by genuinely having fun?
I'm not sure.
We'll have to wait and see.
It was fun.
But there wasn't any man better than you.
Is that so?
It's not easy to find a man as good looking as me.
I'm a little old.
But there's no guy with a great body proportion as I do!
My nickname was the Golden Proportion.
You're right.
I couldn't find anyone like you.
Man-sik said he admires me!
Do you know how cool it is to hear something like that from your friend?
Yes, you're so cool.
- Really? - Let's go to sleep.
Then...
In light of that...
Should we do it once?
It's okay.
- Jung-hae. - What?
Jung-hae!
Wait! Wait!
I can't go.
Tomorrow is my Jung-hae's birthday.
(Dr. Nam Jung-hae)
Good morning.
(Happy Birthday)
Is it good?
Cut!
How many times do I have to tell you that's not the right expression?
Look.
When you look at the script here,
it says you should eat as if you're starving.
That didn't look like you were starving! It looked like it tasted bad!
How could I look like I'm starving when I'm not?
You're driving me insane.
You just had intense love making.
So you should be hungry.
I know. So why do I need to be hungry?
How many times do I need to tell you that I'm the type to
enjoy the aftereffects of intense love making?
This is so frustrating.
Why does your preference matter right now? You should do as directed!
Director! What did you just say to me?
I guess you don't know but I'm only doing this movie because Mr. Jung begged me to!
How dare you speak to me like that?
Watch how you talk to me!
Hey, don't do this then!
Get lost!
I refuse to work with you!
Get lost, you wench!
Wench? How dare you!
What did you say?
Have you lost your mind?
Fine! Yes, I just said that! So what?
I refuse to do this movie!
How dare you push me? I'm the one who refuses to work with you!
- I'm the one refusing! - Are you an actor?
Your head is full of dung! You're not an actor!
Are you the doctor?
How dare you operate on him? How dare you?
I don't know what's going on but please let go of me first.
What are you doing?
Please let go of him and talk! Our doctor did nothing wrong!
Let go of me!
Of course, he did something wrong!
He's already crazy about women!
So how could you make that bigger!
Are you trying to make me a widow? Are you?
Come out!
Let go of me!
I'm going to close down this hospital!
Purse! Purse!
Purse!
How flabbergasting.
Please take a look inside too.
Not bad.
It's nice. The car's really nice.
- Everything looks great. - Yes.
But isn't there a car that looks more sophisticated and cheerful than these?
Something that makes you feel happier just by looking at it.
Like my sweetie.
Okay?
We do have a few of the latest models on our roof.
Why are you telling me this now?
You should've taken me there first!
Hey!
Is it your first day on the job?
- Is it? - I'm sorry, sir.
If you wait a little, I'll bring the car keys right away.
What...?
What happened?
He felt like he was being a burden to you
so he wanted to master frying chickens as soon as possible.
He practiced all night and...
I'm so sorry.
I'm not asking you to steal!
Am I?
I didn't ask you to rob someone!
I'm asking you to collect what should be collected!
If you can't even do that, what am I supposed to do?
Jeez!
I can't do this! You're making me so angry!
Most middle-aged men's lives are like that.
They do their best every day.
But they feel a sense of defeat more than a sense of accomplishment.
The sense of defeat leads to a sense of shame.
When they feel that way, their wives are the ones to cheer them up.
No.
It should be their wives.
Myeong-sook.
Do you tend to cheer Man-sik up when he's down
or do you tend to turn a blind eye?
Or...
...are you not even interested in what Man-sik does?
Please hop in.
You're so weird.
Are you working tomorrow too?
Yes.
You should rest on the weekends.
There are many patients who only have time on the weekends.
I'm worried that you'll become a patient yourself while treating patients.
How long will it take?
At this speed,
it will take about 30 minutes.
If you're tired, close your eyes and get some sleep.
Yes, I guess I should.
Wake me up when we arrive.
(Radio)
It's a rainy Friday night.
A Friday night that makes your heart feel nostalgic.
I'm sure there are many of you who think of your first love on a day like this.
Here's a song to touch the hearts of middle-aged men.
Yoon Jong-shin's Goodbye.
I feel like you might return.
I watch you until you disappear from my sight.
I won't change anything.
Everything will remain the same as it is now.
So that even if you return out of the blue,
nothing will feel strange to you.
It doesn't matter when or where.
If you come back looking for me,
I ask myself to not get tired
and I ask myself to never change.
While I was dreaming of happiness, watching my wife sleep,
my friend was dying a painful death.
Keeping a secret more horrifying than death to himself.
Maybe that's why...
the fishy smell of rain seemed stronger that day.
After that day when the smell of rain was especially strong,
after the day when life and death coexisted,
cracks started to form in my perfect life.
(May, 1995 Yeongang University)
- Phoe! - Phoe!
- Phoenix! - Phoenix!
- Go! - Go!
No.
My life may have...
...started to fall apart on the day I first met Jung-hae in college.
I'm telling you I don't want to.
Thank you.
Stop following me!

If I tell you to live for Man-sik's sake,
it would be too cliched, right?
I realized that I don't ever want to live like Man-sik did.
So how are you going to live?
It's been a while, Nam Jung-hae.
How are you here?
That's Hae-sook, right?
Hae-sook.
I'm going to find out
what he was doing behind my back.
What he was up to.
Goong-chul.
Why do you think I came here?
