The first 200 lines.
Say what you came here to say.
That's not why I'm here.
I heard you were off to an island.
I got you some underwear, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
Don't you have anything to say?
As in what?
I don't need any underwear.
I'll just run around butt-naked instead.
Why bother with underwear when no one will be around?
Why would you run around butt-naked?
It's an island, so who cares?
When I open my eyes in the morning,
I'll take the toothbrush and toothpaste you bought me,
brush the teeth you paid for,
and thank you for helping me keep my teeth clean on this island.
I'll also change into the underwear you got for me.
Will that satisfy you?
You're the worst, you know that?
Why have yourself arrested by the police?
Did you think I'd be grateful?
Since you don't need these, I'll take them back.
Before you do,
be honest with me.
Do you want me to leave or not?
As if that has anything to do with me.
It's your choice to make.
It's not like you'd listen even if I told you otherwise.
Did you forget how stubborn you were at the precinct?
What I do is my decision to make.
What will you be doing at the island?
There's really not much to do.
I'll play with the seagulls and go fishing when I can.
I'll eat the fish raw or in a stew then go to sleep.
I'll put on the underpants you bought me in the morning.
I'll use the toothbrush and toothpaste you bought me,
and brush the teeth you paid for.
If you were my kid, I'd beat you up.
Who lives there?
It's full of pretty women. I'm the only man there.
It will be like a paradise.
I'm not in the mood for jokes.
There must be someone.
Who'd be there? It's just a deserted island.
I bet there would be some seagulls.
Big cuckoos, small cuckoos, parrots, and seagulls.
There would be all kinds of birds.
Why would you go to a deserted island?
So tell me.
Do you want me to go or not?
Do whatever you want.
Fine.
What do you mean?
I get it.
Just leave it. You bought this for me, so I should wear it.
Is this size 100?
Why do you need underpants when you'll just run around naked?
Like you said, catch a lot of fish and eat them with the pretty women.
Make sure to eat a lot and gain weight so you will need size 110.
Bong Ja, I know how you feel.
You couldn't tell me to stay, so you just got me the underpants.
I mean, it's been 35 years.
Really?
That's good.
I'm glad to hear that.
I was going to leave, but I decided to stay for you.
Give my prostate medicine and hair-loss shampoo back.
Do you want me to come over or will you bring them to me?
You can't take them back from me, you silly.
This is just wrong.
I keep changing my mind.
I don't know what to do.
I can tell you feel lost. You are asking us for help now.
You told me to stay out of this rolling your eyes at me.
What do you want to do? That's what's important.
You don't need to ask.
She's being like this because she wants to stay married.
If you want to stay married, you should raise the baby.
Are you sure you can do that?
She can't raise him.
I'm reading parenting books.
See? She will raise a baby with some books.
She can learn some stuff from books at first.
People can't be perfect from the beginning.
You can raise your kid the way you want,
but that's not the case if it's not your own baby.
And it's not like you're adopting him because you want.
Her husband had an affair and got the baby.
How would she possibly love the baby?
People are all the same.
Aunt Taeng Ja has a point.
You can't make rash judgments about the baby.
To be honest, I would've told you to divorce him if you had a job.
And she wouldn't want to give up on her son.
It won't be easy for you to deal with the whole thing.
- But... - You don't need to say much.
Gwang Nam will be penniless if she got a divorce.
Why would she divorce him?
She has to put up with everything.
Don't think about anything else. Just do what you want.
Think about what's best for you.
It's just either one of these two.
Let's vote.
Raise your hand if you want her to get divorced and make a fresh start.
This is what I think, but I will respect whatever decision you make.
Anyone who wants her to stay married and raise the baby?
Gwang Nam can't live alone.
I think Gwang Nam will have hard times if she gets divorced.
Hey, it's 2 to 1. What will you do? It's up to you.
Bong Ja, about the crocks...
Were you talking behind my back or something?
I'm glad that you know that.
I had something to talk about with them.
Let's go check the crocks.
Make sure not to tell Dad about it.
Okay.
Gwang Nam, take your time and think carefully. It's no rush.
You're holding all the cards.
If you don't divorce him, they can't do anything.
You know what I mean.
Put it in silent mode.
Okay.
Why would she text me in the middle of the night?
It's my friend.
Peekaboo. Congratulations on the opening.
This is Unit 301. What are you doing, Unit 401?
This is Unit 401. I'm waiting for the kimchi now.
Text me as soon as you get here.
I'm on my way. I'll be there in 30 minutes.
I'm here.
Gwang Tae.
Lee Gwang Tae.
It's well-fermented.
I'm here.
I'm sorry. I thought you kept it open for me.
That was because of the kimchi. It's well-fermented already.
Come in. I'm done.
Isn't that what you intended?
You got me.
Did you see everything?
Well, I don't think I can say I didn't see anything at all.
There you go again.
Did you see it or not?
You just stumbled trying to put on some pants.
I guess there wasn't much to look at.
Do you want me to show you again?
Let me see. Do you think I'll reject it?
I lost.
Take as much as you want.
It looks delicious.
I can tell from the color.
Let me taste it.
What do you think?
It's good.
Did you stay up waiting for me because of this?
Sure. I'm crazy about kimchi.
I love it.
Then you'd need more containers.
That's why I brought this.
I see.
Did your father really make the kimchi?
The one who worried you?
Yes.
I guess he's a good cook.
As an expert, I can tell this is really good.
I think that's because he lives alone.
This kimchi means a lot.
To get this kimchi,
I've put up with all the oppression for 32 years.
Dad has always favored my older brother.
He always took care only of my brother.
And he made kimchi only for him.
This is my first time getting kimchi from him.
Why did he do that?
Because I wasn't good enough for Dad.
My brother was good at everything. He was even smart.
He got a job at a big conglomerate.
And he married a daughter of a rich family.
And all that.
And you play the guitar well.
I guess you're right.
The kimchi reminds me of something.
I was thinking the same thing.
1, 2, and 3.
- Ramyeon. - Ramyeon.
Okay. I'll cook some ramyeon.
Gwang Sik.
It tastes so good.
But this isn't as good as the noodle dish you made.
- Are you serious? - Sure. It was the best.
The noodle dish I had comforted me and gave me energy.
Sometimes a dish touches your heart deeply.
I agree.
My mom's cheonggukjang was like that when I was little.
And this time it's your father's kimchi?
Ms. Oh the landlady cooked for me recently.
I struggled to hold back the tears.
She reminded me of my late mom.
She suffered her whole life because of Dad.
Dad loved another woman,
and Mom one-sidedly loved Dad all her life.
