Record of Youth (청춘기록)

Dad.

Yes?

I agreed to be in a movie.

You darn imbecile!

Dad throwing the meat proves

that this is crazy.

I thought you had come to your senses,

-but you're back at it. -Honey!

-Get over here. -You can't live my life for me.

What? Let go of me, darn it!

Don't just say you wish me luck, but let me do what I want.

How is it that you couldn't go a few days without being tempted again?

Let go of me!

There, I let go.

Let go of what?

You. I'm done with you.

What are you staring at me for?

I let go as you wished, so do whatever you want.

I'll do whatever I want as well.

And what exactly would that be?

As if you care about what I want to do.

Where do you think you're going? We're not done here.

Go to your room. Your dad and I need to talk.

Who should I listen to?

-Me. -Me.

I'll listen to mom.

That sneaky little brat.

I like that he isn't dispirited.

What's wrong with you?

Can't you see that this will ruin him?

If you let him do what he wants,

he may end up living off other people forever.

Put that in your prayers, why don't you?

How can you say that as his parent?

I only worry because I'm his father.

That's a crappy way to worry about someone.

Who will believe in our children if we don't believe in them? Look outside.

There is a long line of people waiting to criticize them.

But he's a man. He must marry and provide for his family.

That's not an easy task.

Why is it only a man's job to provide for his family?

Are you saying that you provide for me? I work for a living too.

Where on earth would he find and marry someone like you?

You lucked out yourself, so why can't he?

I want to let Hye-jun choose his own path.

Just like you said, it could ruin him.

But at least he would have the chance to do what he likes.

Have you lived your life doing what pleases you?

No one can live by only doing what they want.

Life isn't a joke, you know.

You were a smart kid who received good grades.

But you spent all of your adulthood only focusing on earning money.

Let's…

Let's give our children some space to breathe.

It's the only reason I'm working.

I may have to do manual labor until the day I die,

but I want our children to have a better life than mine.

Life rarely goes the way you plan it,

but I don't want to be the one

who shuts down his dream before he gives it a chance.

I won't let you be the one either.

You'd better not regret it then.

Life is all about the right timing.

Don't you dare resent me for not putting a stop

to this madness.

Why wear those to bed?

I want to look pretty in my sleep too.

You're a hard woman to understand.

Then love me instead of trying to understand me.

Did Hae-na get into law school?

The results aren't out yet, but she's in.

Just like me, she got good grades.

It's not just good grades that gets you into law school.

What else do you need?

You leave the kids to me and only check in from time to time,

but you should know that there's more to it.

I have to say that you're quite good at asserting

the role you play in this family.

-Must you be so mean all the time? -You should be used to it by now.

It bothers me more now that I'm older.

I endure everything that bothers me too, you know.

I'm jealous of the happy couples.

As if that changes much.

Honestly, there's no big difference.

You're not aware of the issue at all, are you?

This is why I obsess more over the kids.

Even though you do, you'll come back to me eventually.

I do hope that day comes.

Where are you going?

The kids aren't home yet which means I must manage them.

What are you up to?

Mom.

What is all this?

Thanks.

There's no need to thank me because I'm only being selfish.

This is so that you don't resent me later on in life.

I could be harsher on you than your dad, you know.

Then I love my selfish mom.

EPISODE 4

Wait. I almost forgot.

Is he disappointed by my lies

or is he burdened by the fact that I like him?

Why hasn't he texted?

My problem is mine to solve.

I wronged him by lying, but then I told him the truth.

That means the ball is in his court now.

SA HYE-JUN

Talk about being rude.

Unbelievable.

SA HYE-JUN

Hello?

Were you working out?

-No. -You're out of breath.

I was just on my way out.

-Where? -Somewhere to busk.

What about after that?

I'll be heading home.

Got it.

What exactly did you get?

Now I know that you're free, I can ask if we could meet up.

You could have asked me that first.

I didn't want to cut straight to the point.

That does seem abrupt, I guess.

But I don't mind that at all.

There's something we need to sort out.

Can you afford to chat right now though?

No, I need to get going.

By the way, did your grandfather find work?

Are you off to see the director?

No, my manager.

Everything will be good for you now.

If you get to be in that movie,

you will blind everyone and outshine the leading actor.

You sure are blinded by the love for me.

That's why I have a gift for you.

What's this?

You want to be a model.

-When did I say that? -You said you wanted to earn money.

You get paid for modeling?

Who would hire someone like me?

A lot do, apparently. We live until we're 100 now,

so you're not categorized as old.

-They say it's a blue ocean market. -Is that so?

I have a feeling that this is right up your alley.

If it doesn't pan out, you can still socialize and exercise.

Get a refund on this. Why spend money to play and exercise?

-You're scared. -Of what?

Of failing.

You always say that you'd have tried it had you been my age.

So you're scared about failing.

Right.

I love that you're honest.

You can do this, Mr. Sa.

Mr. Sa, get a refund. I can't do this.

-Request one yourself, then. -Come on.

You're not allowed to say that you would've succeeded

had you been my age anymore.

I don't like how strict you're being.

I'm not particularly fond of your actions either,

so let's stay true to our words.

But, hey!

What…

SA MIN-GI

What brings you here unannounced?

Get in.

Damn, I'm done waiting. So what'll it be?

I'll do it.

Nice!

A movie star shouldn't carry things like this.

-Stop it. -Come on.

You're my artist, you know.

Others won't treat you well if I don't treat you well myself.

I like that attitude.

Good. Then let's talk about yours.

Mine is always good.

That needs to be changed.

Be less self-centered and more objective.

That's odd. I'm too objective if you ask me.

Correction. You are too objective about yourself.

Are you sure you know me well?

Yes, I do. I know you.

It's just that…

I didn't know you'd say yes.

It was too out of the blue.

This means I need to do it too

and I don't think I can.

I know I gave you an earful,

but you said you were giving up,

so I did too.

What?

Hilarious, right?

Even I find it hysterical,

but I'm also happy as hell.

You're scaring me, you know. Are you in your right mind?

Of course, I am!

CONTRACT

What I hate the most is when people do business

solely based on their personal relationship.

I'm done with that too, you know.

I've been there, tried it, and failed.
