Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (역도요정 김복주)

If you go this way, the swimming pool will appear.

Thank you.

Joon Hyeong!

Bok Joo!

Joon Hyeong...

Do you recognize me?

It's me. It's Mom.

Are you really my Joon Hyeong?

My goodness.

I really wondered

how you grew up.

You grew up better than I thought.

Do you think Joon Hyeong met his mom yet?

I guess so. She said she'd go to the school today.

Honey, you don't think she'll mention the postcards, right?

She begged us so earnestly.

Is Joon Hyeong's mom a fool? Why would she mention

that? It'll just hurt Joon Hyeong's heart.

I wonder whether she'll even recognize his face.

I asked her because I didn't know where anything was,

but how can that student turn out to be your friend?

Are you guys really close?

Yes.

What about food? If you're hungry, we can go out and...

No, I... I'm not hungry.

Is swimming hard?

Can you handle it?

Yes, I guess.

I brought this to give it to you.

I didn't know what you needed.

Since you exercise, I thought maybe you needed some athletic shoes.

I'm not sure if the size would fit. I bought it with a rough guess.

Thank you.

I'll wear them well.

As I bought these, I thought of you a lot.

I wonder how tall you grew, how your face changed.

I'm sorry, Joon Hyeong.

I should've come to see you earlier.

I was so busy living.

Okay.

Yes, Mom?

Episode 15 That's How You Become an Adult

I prepared this so suddenly, I'm not sure if it would fit your tastes.

It's delicious. You have always been a great cook.

No she's not. Her food has become saltier each day she gets old.

Father, you should consider a storm to come afterwards

The croaker is really good today.

You really picked a good one!

Thank you.

Mom, can I have some water?

Yeah.

I...

You can give it to him.

Okay, Sister-in-law.

Here, Joon Hyeong.

Are you okay?

Yes. Thank you.

I can get a taxi by myself.

Get in, quickly. It's cold.

Okay.

Joon Hyeong. Do you want to come over to where I'm staying tomorrow?

Before I leave, I want to feed you a meal that I make with my hands.

If you don't have any time...

I'll go after my training.

Can I have your phone number?

Okay.

See you tomorrow, Son.

Go safely.

You came?

Seeing your expression, you seem happy. Did the meeting with your mom go well?

Is it something that would go well or not?

No... your expression looks better than before.

Is it obvious?

Yes. It's totally obvious.

What did you do today with your mom?

I just went home and had dinner with mom. And I went

to the main street with her and got a taxi for her.

That's it?

Also, I'm going to meet her tomorrow at her place.

And?

I held her hand like this, and her hand was really warm.

I'm about to get jealous but I'm holding it this time because she's your mom.

It seems like your mom missed you a lot, too.

She came all the way from Canada to see you.

Of course.

How can she not miss her super handsome son?

You got some strength on your shoulders since you've seen your mom!

I'd be losing if I'm jealous, but I wish I also

had a mother who came to visit me in school.

Hey! Instead, you have a trustworthy dad and a

Also, you have the most precious and important me.

You're right. I have you.

Spring Residence No. 1803?

I'm going out right now, so it'll probably take about 30 minutes.

Okay. Come safely.

Oh, Joon Hyeong. If you have any photo albums, can you bring it?

I want to see some pictures of when you were younger.

I'll stop by home and bring it.

Okay. See you soon.

Oh, it's small.

I'll just make my feet fit in them, then.

I put $10, 000 in your account, Mom.

Alright. If you add what you have to mine, it makes about $20, 000.

Thank you. You probably also have a lot of things that you need to pay out for.

No. It's not money that I'll be using right away anyway.

But did she say that the child is in really bad condition?

If she gets the money and goes back to Canada, then is

it possible for that child to get surgery right away?

I'm not sure, since her first priority is to get the money for the surgery.

How did the poor child whom she bore in her late years get such a rare disease...

It seems like she came here because she was depending on her older brother's help,

but land isn't something that can be sold right away.

Would she have asked us for money if it wasn't that bad?

What money?

J-Joon Hyeong.

When did you come here, you rascal? You didn't even give us any notice.

What do you mean, money?

What are you talking about?

Joon Hyeong, sit down. Sit down and...

Did Mom come because of money? Was it because she needed money?

Is that why she suddenly...

But then, why is she asking you and Uncle for it?

She should be so grateful that you're the ones who raised me and fed me up until now.

How could she be so shameless as to ask you and Uncle something like that?

Joon Hyeong, that's not it. It's because she has some personal circumstances.

No, it doesn't matter if she has personal circumstances! This isn't right.

She's way too brazen.

How could a person who never got in touch with us for ten years

do something like that? How?

I knew everything.

The postcards that I got every year and the presents...

You're the one who sent them, Aunt.

You should have just told me the truth. How long do I have to pretend not to know?

When do I have to stop putting on this act?

I felt so ashamed because I saw how much you were

enduring and how much effort you were putting into it.

So why would you give her that money? Why? What,

do you think I'm pitiful? If that's not it,

then do you think that since you've already paid so much

raising me until now, you're making a donation one more time?

Is it because you want to pretend to be a good

person until the end? Is that what it is?

That's right! I did it because I wanted to go to heaven.

That's why I raised you with that kind of heart. Are you satisfied?

You rude little boy! How could you say something so mean?

I... Oh, you mean child!

Joon Hyeong!

Hey, Kim Bok Joo! You're not practicing hard.

Why do you still keep wrapping around with bandage? Are you a mummy?

- No, I'll get started right away. - You little rascal.

You're slacking off just because you did well at one competition.

If you're going to be like that, then just quit, you

rascal! Go to Taereung (KOREAN NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER)!

Taereung wants you to come to them, you rascal.

Go to Taereung now, you little rascal!

KWF (KOREA WEIGHTLIFTING FEDERATION) came to

an agreement and made the decision today.

You rascal, you have to be admitted by this weekend!

What?

Daily Sports will come for interview tomorrow.

They'll come to find out the secret of how we did well on the last competition.

Thank you so much! Thank you, thank you. Thank you!

Oh, this rascal! I...

What is this?

- Kim Bok Joo, fighting! - Fighting!

You've got a delivery.

Yes, leave it there.

3 radishes, 3 Welsh onions, and one Wakegi onion, right?

Boss Kim didn't come in today.

Oh, that man went to get a vasectomy. He said that

it'll be the death of him when he has a fourth child.

Because the couple's relationship beyond good.

I'm asking because I'm thirsty. Can you get me a bottle of soft drink?

Yes.

I enjoyed the drink.

Thank you.

Get a hold of yourself. I guess you haven't gone through enough yet, you weird thing!

Wow, you were accepted into Taereung. Wow, Our Bok Joo is so amazing.

I guess your dream is finally coming true.

What did your father say? He's really happy, isn't he?

He is really happy. My dad's dream was actually

to become a national team weightlifter.

He's probably thinking that it was worth it to support you by selling chicken.

You're being really good to your father right now. Where

would your father find a daughter as good to him as you are?

I don't know. It still doesn't really feel real.

I keep asking myself if I really became a national

team member and if I'm really going to Taereung.

It doesn't feel real to us either that we'll have to be apart from each other.

We're one thing. But what are you going to do about Jeong Joon Hyeong?

It hasn't even been that long since you guys

started going out, but you're already separating.

I know, right? It's something to congratulate you for, but

it would probably kind of suck for Jeong Joon Hyeong.

The person you called is not available. Please leave a message after the beep.

Why? You can't get in touch with Joon Hyeong?

Ah... yes...

No. He usually doesn't turn his phone off.

That's what the swamp of dating is like. You get worried

if you can't get in touch with the other person,
