The first 200 lines.
You have three sons.
Why should you do it when you just got remarried?
All my sons are useless.
None of them is saying...
they will take care of it from now on.
They don't even remember it, those punks.
This is how they are.
They only contact me when they need money.
Even until now, I had to call them every year and remind them...
of the memorial ceremony to make them drag themselves there.
I told them I don't care about my birthday and the holidays,
but we must commemorate their mother's death anniversary.
That's how I got to see them once a year.
But look at this. I didn't bring it up this year,
and they don't even remember it.
Those rude brats.
Even so, I really don't think...
it's right for you to prepare the memorial ceremony.
Ask anyone you see on the streets.
Who'd approve of someone preparing his ex-wife's memorial ceremony?
Even your late wife won't be happy about it.
As soon as you leave the ceremony,
you'll go home to your current wife.
It's disrespectful to both of them.
It's not like I don't know that!
Just tell Sang Baek now that he should take care of it.
What choice does he have?
I'm headed to the site.
Hold on. What did I do with the keys? Here they are.
Tell Sang Baek and meet me there.
Tell him, okay?
Come on in.
Okay.
Wait in the room.
I'll tell you when it's ready.
Of course.
Dad would never forget about Mom's death anniversary.
Why didn't he call us?
We came here, thinking that he probably wants...
to stay out of it now that he's remarried.
I called him.
He's been nagging me since yesterday...
about making all the foods for the ceremony.
Obviously, Young Hye wouldn't want to do it.
I didn't think it was right to just forgo it,
so I gave him a call earlier.
Just to ask him if he wanted to stay out of it.
Sang Gu kept nagging me to take care of it,
so I called and asked him what would be the right thing to do.
Why didn't you tell me?
I spoke to him briefly while driving...
and had auditions all day, so I was frazzled.
And why must I...
I didn't think I needed to tell you.
Father just hung up...
without saying much.
I had no idea he'd actually take care of the preparations.
"I guess he wants us to take care of it. How heartless."
I just thought that to myself.
I can't believe Dad didn't tell us.
He should've just called us like he always did.
I'm telling you. He had forgotten about it too.
I bet he remembered it when she called him about it.
"Oh, no. I totally forgot about it..."
"because I'm so happy about my new marriage."
He prepared everything because he was embarrassed.
Anyway, he took care of it this year,
which means he'll probably continue doing it every year.
Then what about Ms. Kang?
What about that woman?
This is Mom's memorial ceremony. Why bring her up?
Hold on.
Isn't he planning to sell this house?
When will he hold the ceremony after selling the house?
He won't sell it.
Dad will keep holding it at this house.
He's not selling it? How do you know?
I know because...
I made sure he won't sell it.
Just thank me when we're dividing our inheritance later on.
He said to come out.
She's eating again?
In Seo.
Min Ah and In Seo, go to the room.
Okay.
What's he going to say now? I'm scared.
From now on,
I want you guys to take care of the memorial ceremony.
I want to stay out of it.
Dad.
Gosh.
Yes, right.
That's probably... That would be the right thing to do.
No one does it after they get...
remarried.
Okay, we understand.
But by "you guys", exactly who are you referring to?
I...
I should do it. That would be the right thing to do, but...
Forget it. I'll do it.
- I'll take care of it. - My gosh.
Honey, are you going to do all the work? I don't have time!
- I'm never home. - Be quiet.
I'll do it.
What?
You're living at Ms. Kang's without even paying rent.
How are you going to take care of it there?
This is about next year.
I'll get my own place soon.
In your dreams.
Hey, do you know how much it costs to get your own place these days?
Goodness, that idiot.
He knows nothing about the real world.
Are you going to hold the ceremony in a tiny rental room?
Sang Min, I understand that you want to do it,
but you should focus on getting back on your feet.
I am doing that.
I'm at least earning money at the moment.
Hold on. What do you mean?
Are you saying I'm not?
Gosh, I'm so sick of that jobless guy's insecurity.
Even that kid is saying he'd take care of it.
You're the eldest son. Have you no conscience?
Is it that hard for you to say that you, as the eldest son,
will just take care of it?
Gosh, this is making me really angry.
You should just take care of it!
You do it.
You acted like you were the only one who cared about Mom.
You never treat me like your older brother.
But now, you're saying I'm the eldest.
You said you'd do it. You do it, then.
Enough!
We'll do it, Father.
From now on, we'll hold Mother's memorial ceremony at our place.
Honey.
Okay, thank you.
And since you guys are here anyway,
take all your stuff that is still here.
- What? - What?
What do you mean?
You've decided not to sell the house.
Says who?
Well, you said you'd sell it,
but I didn't hear anything after that,
so I assumed you weren't serious about it...
and that you've probably decided against it.
This house means so much to us.
What does this house mean to you?
How many times did you visit this house...
after you grew up and moved out?
I worked myself to the bone...
to buy this house.
I fixed it up and lived here all my life!
This is my house!
No. This is a burden, not a house.
I want to get rid of this burden.
Why won't you let me?
A burden?
Dad, that hurts our feelings.
We all grew up in this house.
It's filled with memories of Mom and Grandma.
So you want to erase Mom from your life?
What?
- Don't do this, honey. - That's what you're doing.
Look, that is what's going on now.
You want us to hold the memorial...
and will sell this house where Mom died...
after working herself to the bone.
As if she never existed in your life.
Because you only need Ms. Kang now, right?
You want to rid yourself of your past...
so you can be happy in your twilight years?
Is that it?
Yes.
I'm doing this because I want to live like that.
I want to live a decent life like everyone else, for a change.
In this house where my parents and wife died,
I ate nothing but rice and water...
and fell asleep while watching TV.
Thanks to Ms. Kang, I could put an end to that life,
and I want to live a happy life with her now.
What?
Do you hate the idea of me living a happy life?
Does it bother you that much?
Why didn't you strive for such a life when Mom was alive?
I never once saw you being sweet to her.
Father.
He's going to sell this house?
After everything Mom put up with in this house?
Does he even know what she had to endure?
While raising her three sons, she had to...
deal with Grandma picking on her. Thinking about that...
And because of our aunts and uncles,
she had to fix breakfast five times every morning.
While she was looking after our huge family, Dad was...
He was never attentive to her.
Whenever Mom said she wasn't feeling well,
he said she was tiring him out when he was exhausted from work.
He yelled at her.
