Dear My Friends (디어 마이 프렌즈)

Jeong A!

Jeong A, my back. My back.

Scratch my back.

More, more.

No, no. You can't do that.

Sit down. You drip all over.

Hey, how can a man pee while sitting down?

I peed sitting down since I was 40.

You're over 70. Who cares about pride? Come on.

Just sit down.

Mum, you should make up with Dad. This is ridiculous.

Do you want to taste it?

The day-care's not doing well,

and my husband is stressed because of work.

I'm...

on Mum's side. I'll be fine even if she gets a divorce.

You can only say that because Dad doesn't call you.

I went to clean two days ago, too.

It's not as often for you.

He would tell me to make siraegiguk instead of ugeojiguk.

Then he'd ask me over to make him guksu.

Mum. Let's end it after a month.

If that's too short, let's do three months before you go back.

I'll ask Dad to come and beg you.

Do you really think Dad will beg?

Then what do you suggest we do?

What do you think? She should get a divorce. Mum's a woman, too.

Right, Mum? You're a woman, too.

You want to live the rest of your life as a woman, right?

Goodness. How am I a woman?

My uterus was taken out after I had that cyst.

Also, who cares if I'm a man or a woman at this age?

You are both wasting your time blabbering away.

How can we not?

How can you leave after all that? Your life would be a failure.

Why is her life a failure?

It's Dad who can't do anything on his own that's the failure.

I agree that Dad's at fault, but...

There's no reason for you to talk about your dad like that.

When he was young, he worked so hard to raise you.

He worked at that helmet factory. To make a dollar more,

he'd work late until midnight while his nose...

and ears froze in the cold winter.

He's over 70 and still works so that he can support himself.

You have no right to talk about him like that.

You don't want to cook for him? Then don't.

Just buy it for him. You're so ungrateful.

- Mum, that's... - It's not what I meant.

Be quiet and just give me my money.

I even cleaned your mosquito net, so give me 20 dollars more.

Take all of this.

I'll give you 100 dollars from now, so go back to Dad and...

Why would I take more money from you?

Do you think I left home to bother you?

Usually, it's 60 dollars, but today, it's 80 dollars. That's it.

I know how you feel,

but you shouldn't talk about your dad like that.

Also, don't you dare nag at me any more.

I'm sick of hearing it.

You're spending a lot ever since you moved out.

Yes, I'm splurging. I spent a fortune worth of eight dollars.

Can you digest all this?

You can't because you stay indoors all day.

You need to walk more.

My stomach hurts all the time.

I don't even eat much, but I poop 3 to 4 times a day.

What's wrong?

Stay for the night.

Okay.

I love that you moved out. You can sleepover whenever.

Shall I call the others?

Okay.

Nan Hee.

What are you doing?

What a place this is.

Are you dating him?

Not really.

He invited her over to listen to him sing.

He flung his fishing rod and caught her.

And you took the bait.

After wasting all your life,

you took the bait now?

Don't smile.

You're still very young.

You should date men.

Like you?

How are things with Seong Jae?

We aren't dating. We just meet up.

If you just meet up,

what should she do?

She can grope him all she wants.

Why can't she?

I bet her skin's still smooth.

What?

And yours isn't?

My skin is like leather.

- Yours must be soft. - Come on.

Don't. Not in public.

Don't you dare touch me.

If you do, I will pinch you until you burst.

You talk such nonsense for people your age.

Choong Nam.

Us?

We're at a live café.

Did Yeong Won and the others...

see the man you like?

I feel left out.

It's your fault.

You said you couldn't be bothered to join us. Are you jealous now?

Don't have too much fun without me. Go home early.

Jeong A, don't forget that the next few days...

is our trial run of living together, okay?

I haven't forgotten.

She's talking about us living together.

You'll end up pulling each other's hair out. Give me that.

Hey, Choong Nam, wake up.

You may think we get along, but we don't at all.

Who doesn't get along with whom?

You and the rest of us.

You need to live alone.

You're too old to try to get used to living with someone.

No.

This time, I will try to make things work.

It's like my last piece of homework.

Haven't you heard of something called "a bucket list"?

Why? Are you planning to die?

I want to live with you.

Me, too.

Him?

He's pretty.

Who is?

That guy.

He's young and handsome. Quite fresh.

I can't stand the way you talk.

All she does is wipe the floors with rags,

- so she talks like one. - Hey.

He looked at Nan Hee.

Okay, see you then.

He must really like her.

Hi, In Bong.

Why did she vomit?

I envy Nan Hee. She's seeing a fresh, young man.

She's living the life I never got to.

Hang on.

If we decide to live together...

If that happens...

Shall I make them pay 300 dollars a month for expenses?

Is that too much? 200?

Wait. Water, electricity...

and gas bills...

We'll have to take turns doing the laundry and cleaning.

Washing the dishes.

Hee Ja can do it on Mondays.

Jeong A will do it on Tuesdays.

On Wednesdays...

Yeong Won and Nan Hee work, so forget about them.

Do I have to do it for the rest of the week?

Shoot.

Mum, Grandma will be okay.

It's bound to happen one day.

It is.

She's 90 years old.

We should prepare for the worst.

How can a daughter prepare for her mother's death?

Should I cut wood and make a coffin?

Don't say that because she's my mum, not yours.

Then again, you wouldn't blink an eye if you heard that...

I were dead.

You're evil. You only agreed to come along...

to write your book.

You told me to write something.

No matter what I say...

What?

We never get along.

We never will.

We're polar opposites.

My wife and I...

got along very well.

I loved her more than anything.

I reported to her whenever...

I left the house and returned.

And any money I earned, I gave to her every month.

If I thought my parents were giving her a hard time,

I put them aside for a while and focused...

all my energy on her.

I was a good husband.

Shortly before she died, she said,

"Honey, let's meet again."

That's what she said to me.

Will Jeong A appreciate that?

If I call her...

and ask about things?

Are you willing to try?

Of course, she'll like it.

All women like that.

Do they?

The cotton candy

Is as white as snow, and clean and fluffy

It's just like the cotton candy I ate

When I went on a walk with Mum
