A Good Supper (Be A Meal / Babi Dweeora / 밥이 되어라)

What are you making for dinner?

The mackerel is cheap today.

I want a mackerel pike.

I can't believe you're asking for what you want.

How much are the potatoes?

Take them all for five dollars.

You're already serving food at a low price for us.

I should still pay you though.

You can have them delivered to me by 4 p.m.

Take these instead of mackerel pike.

I'll sell them cheap.

It shouldn't be a problem for you to eat them without a few legs.

I'm fine with their shape, but freshness matters.

How much for the mackerel pike?

Welcome!

Father.

What brings you here? You didn't call.

You know I'm not the type of person...

to tell you when I come and go.

Who is she?

This place looks just the same as when my mom worked here.

Why didn't you come...

when Grandmother passed away?

I couldn't dare to.

When are you going to stop living like this?

Where are you even staying right now?

Are you asking because you're worried about me...

or because I might stay?

Don't worry. That won't happen.

Tell me who she is.

Is there a pharmacy nearby?

My head hurts.

He may seem unfriendly,

but he's a kind person.

I told you I was very sick, right?

I'm sorry that I can't take care...

of you anymore.

These are documents of your information,

and this is a letter that I wrote for him.

Please give it to him when I'm gone.

Will we never...

see each other again?

Take care of yourself.

Be courageous.

Did my dad go somewhere?

I'm not sure.

Where's your mom?

She passed away when I was a baby.

What about your dad?

I don't know.

You don't?

How long did you live with my dad?

Since my grandmother passed away.

Why did you live with my dad...

because your grandmother passed away?

I was much younger back then.

I don't remember much.

This is for you.

There's nothing else I could do. Please take care of her.

I'm sorry.

Please don't send me to an orphanage.

The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check...

Why are you grilling mackerel pike on that?

Is your stove broken?

Is that how you cook it in the countryside?

Go back inside.

It smells much better...

than cooking it on a stove.

You might breathe in smoke.

It looks good.

It tastes much better...

when you cook mackerel pike with briquette fire.

I see. This must be the briquette fire then.

I think I saw it on TV.

This is how it was cooked back then.

It's soul food for older people that brings back memories.

You've worked hard today.

There's not much, but please enjoy.

He cooked mackerel pike.

You didn't need to do this for me.

Stop telling him what to do. You only pay four dollars for this.

Who is she?

I'm Kim Young Shin. I'll be staying here from now on.

No, she's not.

I haven't decided yet.

Dear mighty lord grandfather,

please let me grow taller after having this delicious food.

If you want to give prayers, you should address him as father.

I can't.

The mighty lord sounds like a much older man.

My wish is to have a young father.

That's why I can't call the mighty lord, father.

She's witty.

Seriously, who is she?

Eat your food before it gets cold.

- Enjoy! - Thank you!

It looks so good.

It's delicious!

Can I have some more rice?

You can have as much as you want.

But you shouldn't be greedy and leave food on your plate.

By the way, how old are you?

I'm eight.

Me too! I'm Lee Da Jung.

Da Jung? What a pretty name!

It sounds like someone who'll fall greatly in love when you grow up.

Doesn't my name sound...

like I won't have anything special happen to me?

It sounds like a boy's name...

for a girl to have.

What's your name then?

You don't even know if you're going to live here.

I don't need to tell you my name.

Don't be rude to your friend.

Be nice to each other at least while you're around here.

- Okay! - Okay!

Then I'll introduce everyone.

They're my mom and dad.

He's Park Jung Hoon.

He lives with his dad.

That's Jang Oh Bok. He lives with his uncle and his grandmother.

We're all eight years old.

Do you guys all live together?

No. We just have dinner together every night.

We're regular customers who buy a meal every day...

and get together to eat at the same time.

This way, we don't have to prepare several meals,

so we can eat at a more affordable price.

Since you get together to share meals,

it feels like a big family!

Enjoy the meal.

Do you think Young Shin will live here?

Do you think so?

I don't think so.

She's the funniest girl I've ever met.

Why are you sitting there?

Go in and watch TV or something.

I hate being alone.

Welcome.

Are you still serving dinner?

Of course. Our only dish is a home-style meal.

Could I order just one serving?

I just want to feed him.

Sure.

Have a seat.

Is it good?

Yes, it is.

Good.

Would you like some more?

We're closing soon, but there's a lot left.

I already had dinner,

but after getting a sniff of this...

I am feeling a bit hungry.

I never imagined that I'd get to eat...

mackerel pike grilled over a briquette fire again.

It reminded me of my mother's cooking when she was alive.

Take your time and enjoy the meal.

Thank you, young man.

Go ahead. Keep eating.

He may seem unfriendly,

but he's a kind person.

Don't worry about doing that while you're staying here.

I can wash the plate after a snack.

Let me know when there's something you want to eat.

Thank you!

You can just say: "Okay."

Isn't it good to say thank you as much as possible?

If a kid like you says it, it just looks like you're uncomfortable.

Then I'll save it for special occasions.

You don't have to save it.

I just mean you don't have to say it to me.

Can you really bathe alone?

Don't worry.

I can wash my hair, shower, and clean myself.

Then take a bath and go to bed.

By the way, what should I call you?

Who, me?

Should I call you sir like the other kids?

We're not sure how long you'll stay, so just call me what you want.

If you don't like being called sir,

should I call you...

"young man" like the others?

What?

Good night, young man Gyung Soo!

Once upon a time, there was a traveler...

who collected scents.

Leave me alone.

Leave you alone?

You can't sleep in class!

In the early morning, the traveler passed by the field...

and on the pine needles was a round...

Are you going to sit there all day?

Go and play with something.

How am I supposed to play by myself?

Kim Young Shin! Let's play!

Did you...

come to play with me?

This is my school.

I've never seen such a pretty school!

It's so small and cute!
