King's Family (The Wang Family / Wanggane Sikgoodeul / 왕가네 식구들)

Why did you throw away the pot?

You said you wanted to keep it forever.

Because it was pathetic.

It was pathetic, like me.

I didn't want to see it.

Why did you come?

How did you know I was there?

You can't hide from me.

That was where I proposed to you,

and we went there on our honeymoon.

Hobak,

were you happy living with me?

I'm not sure I was.

I don't think I was ever really happy.

You know what kind of misery your family put me through, don't you?

Being your parents son in law was downright horrible.

Especially your mother.

Every word your mother said to me stabbed me in the heart like thorns,

and they left scars.

She said I was a bum who was leeching off of you for a living.

I'm a man.

I have feelings, too.

I'm someone's precious son.

But your mother treats me like dirt.

She always compared me to Minjung,

discriminating me with food.

Whenever that happened,

I felt so small and degraded.

She destroyed my self esteem.

Last New Year's Day,

Minjung's dumpling soup was overflowing with dumplings,

but mine only had broth.

I stirred it with my spoon,

and I found only two busted dumplings.

But she asked Minjung

if he wanted deep fried dumplings.

If she had more dumplings,

why couldn't she have given me some more?

Whenever I reached for something with my chopsticks, she slapped my hand.

Was I there to beg for food?

When I go to my moms, I just sit there because my mom does everything for me.

But

whenever I go to your parents', I'm a nuisance.

What did I ever do to deserve that?

Am I a criminal? Did I steal something?

Is being unemployed a crime?

But do you know what hurt me the most?

It's not your mother,

and it's not Minjung or your big sister.

It's you.

You, Hobak.

No matter how much your mother hates me,

no matter how much your family mistreats me,

if you were on my side,

I wouldn't have felt so sad.

Have you ever,

even once,

stood up for me in front of them?

Whenever your family treated me like dirt,

you just sat there, doing nothing.

Why do you think I visit your family?

For you.

If you weren't my wife,

I'd never have to deal with them.

Please,

let me breathe.

That's all I want.

What do you mean by that?

Set me free for a month.

Let's be separated for just one month.

This is a chance for me,

and I don't want to miss it.

I won't get another chance like this.

I want to take this elevator.

Where are you planning on going on that?

I don't know where the elevator will take me to.

And you won't regret it?

If I don't do this, I will regret it.

I'm begging you.

You saw him, too.

He change completely.

Hanging out with that awful girl changed him for the worse.

Daese,

maybe this isn't my place to say anything,

but I think you're over estimating your son.

What?

Sangnam is a great kid.

He's really nice. He's like no other man.

But see him through the society's eyes.

He dropped out of high school.

Most people these days are college graduates.

Women don't like blue collar workers like him.

Jangbi.

I know he runs his own company.

But his parents are divorced.

What does that have to do with him?

Even if your kids are in love,

the parents look at everything.

They look at the family, financial situation, education and looks.

It's not like it used to be when love was everything that mattered.

So?

Are you saying Sangnam is flawed?

I'm not saying that.

But you are!

Are you drunk?

Just hear me out.

Who's against this marriage?

Me.

That's the problem.

Despite Sangnam's situation, her family's not against it, so why are you?

It's them who should be against it.

Why are you so picky?

Jangbi, I only want one thing.

She has to be a decent person.

Her character is all I look at.

Living with such a rude girl will turn Sangnam's life into hell.

Who knows if it will be heaven or hell?

I do!

I've lived with someone just like her.

Apparently, people don't change.

If you fall in love with the wrong woman,

your life turns into hell in an instant.

I will never put my son through that kind of misery.

Never.

Man...

Gwangbak! Gwangbak!

Uncle! Uncle, you're here!

People might think I'm you're boyfriend.

How did you call me in this state? Let go.

Let's go.

Let's go, let's go, let's go to hell! Ouch!

Gwangbak! Gwangbak! Gwangbak!

My burning heart!

Oh, you're heavy.

My heart's on fire!

Will it ever burn again?

I don't want to say goodbye.

No!

Like being hit by a bullet!

Stay still. You're heavy enough as it is!

I don't want to say goodbye.

One, two, three, four!

Yongpil! Yongpil!

Like being hit by a bullet...

How can you sing so many songs at once?

Just stick to one song, would you?

My heart hurts so much!

There you go again.

Uncle, do you know how I feel?

No, I don't!

What's so special about a college degree?

It's not!

Even with a college degree, you're jobless.

Go easy on my, please.

They're jobless,

I'm jobless and he's jobless.

Who cares if you're a high school dropout?

He's a thousand times better!

You went a little too far there.

Is being divorced a sin?

It was his parents, not him!

What if someone saw?

I can't believe my eyes.

Why didn't you just dump her somewhere?

Take her to her room before he sees her.

You won't get away with this!

How embarrassing.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey!

Father!

You have something to say?

Father!

Can't you let me have my way, just this once?

I really love him.

I won't meet anyone like him again.

I've never felt this way before, father.

Please let me marry him.

How dare you!

If you're drunk, just go to bed.

We'll talk when you're sober.

Father!

What's wrong with you?

Let's go to bed. Let's talk tomorrow.

Father, I'm disappointed in you!

You're a hypocrite!

Hey! How could you!

Come with me.

Father, she's drunk. Don't listen to her.

Mom, take father inside.

What did you teach your students?

You said college isn't important!

You told them to do what they want, instead of dwelling on getting a college degree!

I still remember it.

Remember what you told me on my first day of work as a teacher?

He told me never to hurt my students,

never to discriminate them for their grades.

You told me not to have prejudices against kids from divorced families.

You said that's what a true teacher does.

Where did that man go?

Father, answer me!
