I thought about it, and…
You've got something here.
Go ahead.
I appreciate you for asking me to
plan the show together, but…
Uh-huh.
If you keep smiling, it makes me want to
really do something with you!
I don't think I can do it this time.
Our show's new permanent panel is now settling down,
and we've got new commercials, too,
so…
You did enough for them already.
That show was just there until a new show replaces it.
And I really didn't want to say this, but…
Don't work with Producer Kang for a long time.
You will lose your hunch.
You know Book-goo's hunches are the opposite of others, right?
Ah, yes, well…
No wonder they used him as a judge for the comedian audition.
Comedian audition?
So you didn't know.
Book-goo's hunch has been known to
be the complete opposite of others,
so the judges used his reactions as the standard.
When Book-goo laughed hard…
Well done.
Did I fail?
It meant the contestant failed, unconditionally.
- Ms. Ahn? - Yes?
Why the long face?
Ah, because that story sounds familiar.
Why? Do you have an upset stomach?
Want some sparkling water? Excuse me!
My stomach doesn't handle flour very well…
So I think I might have indigestion.
Ha… the judges' attitudes suddenly changed
because of Producer Kang?
He's been a hater since then.
That show is a lot of fun.
Everyone's going crazy over it because it's entertaining.
They hit a 10% rating for the premiere, so it's game over.
My mom doesn't cook because she's busy watching it.
Right, right. Same at my house.
I think it's boring.
You think that's fun?
- Hi? - Hi.
Oh, Ms. Ahn.
You should've eaten quietly.
I could hear you eating with Producer Sung from here.
Ha, I threw up because of someone, okay?
Everyone, this is the sound of Ms. Ahn betraying her team.
Ha… are you having fun?
I'm having a lot of fun.
So I'd like to transfer to a different team.
Oh, yeah?
Then you can just turn and leave right now.
The exit is over there.
Oh, Mom, I'll call you later.
What's wrong?
Is it because you're embarrassed?
I said, what's wrong?
I think I have to go.
My dad passed away.
- Oh, So-hee! - So-hee!
Namaste.
- Namaste. - Namaste.
Great job again today.
- Well done. - Thank you!
- Well done. - Good job.
Ms. Han, why don't we…
- Cheers! - Cheers!
You're so skilled.
Wow, you have to make your legs as sexy as this, okay?
- Yes. - Make your legs like this.
Okay.
The call cannot be connected. Please leave a message…
Why isn't she answering?
Mister.
Yes.
I was in a hurry, so I forgot to bring my bag…
So can I pay you when I get there, please?
As long as you pay, it's fine.
I'll stop at an rest area on our way there.
Since it's such a long drive.
Okay.
Mr. Driver, to Jangheung, Jeolla-do, please.
- Jangheung, Jeolla-do? - Yes.
Wait.
I have to come back with an empty taxi.
Want to go by the meter? Or…
It's about 300 km drive, so…
So, are you going, or not?
Uh, if you just pay me…
I'll pay you double-double, if you hurry.
There are a lot of speed cameras.
Mr. Driver, please help me.
My friend, who's like family, lost her father.
Seat belt.
Young lady, it's a sandwich and honey water. Have some.
No, thank you.
It's a long drive, so you should at least eat something.
Mister.
I said, no, thank you.
Then I'll put them here,
so eat it later.
We're off.
One time, this customer
asked me to go to Mokpo,
and he said he'd pay me as much as I want
if I get there in three hours and 20 minutes.
I lost my mind over that,
and I sped like crazy for 350 km.
Even when my bladder felt like it'd explode,
I didn't even stop at a rest area, and arrived precisely
in three hours and 15 minutes.
And when I got out of the car,
suddenly, I felt a throb on the back of my neck
and collapsed.
I drove tensed up in the same position for a long time,
so I got herniated discs all over my body.
After that, I'll never do that again, even if they pay me millions.
Young lady, put this on.
It's bad to sit for a long time if you have turtle neck syndrome.
Mister, I said, no, thank you.
Come on! Just this one thing.
Mister, can't we just go?
My current situation isn't…
But that's your situation.
I have my situation, too.
What would you do if I say I can't because of my situation?
Do you think there's another taxi on this highway that will go there?
If there is, I'll drop you off, so catch another taxi.
Are you threatening me?
I'm asking you for a favor.
Is my favor that hard to do?
So, what do you want me to do?
Drink the honey water and milk,
eat the sandwich,
and use this neck pillow and get some sleep.
But Mister, why do you care
if I sleep or not…
Want me to drop you off?
So-hee, are you okay?
So-hee.
Mr. Driver, how much more do we have left?
We have 40 km left, so we'll be there in 30 minutes.
Thank you, Mr. Driver.
You said it's your friend's father.
So we can't have you be late.
I wish I had a friend like you, even one, in my life.
Get some sleep. We still have more to go.
Hey, use the neck pillow, too.
You promised that much with me, right?
Dad passed away.
My dad, who called me yesterday morning
and said he'd send me mackerels…
Dad, this is a prank, right?
You'll say, "Surprise!" when I get there, right?
I know everything.
Hall 1 is near the entrance, so it's quite windy.
Can you please move us to Hall 2 or Hall 3?
I saw them on my way, and they're all empty.
- Okay. - Okay, thank you.
You need to prepare two sets of funeral clothing for women.
One small and one medium.
Ah, and is there a place nearby
where we can get sleeping socks or hand warmers?
We'll get them for you.
We'd appreciate it if you could get them for us.
I'll go up and check the items placed in the hall,
and I'll speak with you again when the chief mourner comes.
We'll have two helpers for now,
and I'll ask for more if we need more help.
Ah, and please book the crematorium now.
At the earliest time possible.
- Okay, I will. - Yes, thank you.
Oh, you're here.
When did you get here?
I got here right after I got your call.
Hey, you came that quickly?
Ms. Im collapsed, so she's getting an IV with a tranquilizer
in the chief mourner's room. Let's go.
I heard this later,
but Ji-goo said that it was her
first time seeing Ji-yeon being mature.
Mister, where are we?
You're here.
You feel asleep, so I turned off the meter,
and I've been waiting for a while.
Then you should've woke me up!
Come on, you can't sleep after you enter the funeral hall.
I'll go get money.
What's that down there?
Huh?
I'm sorry, I…
I was so frazzled…
Ji-goo and Ji-yeon held me.
As soon as I came face to face with my dad's funeral photo,
Ji-yeon and Ji-goo had to hold
my entire body, which I had let go.
So-hee, I know it's hard for you, but listen.
The police came three hours ago,
and they said the case is closed,
but they told you to call them if you have more questions.
I got the contact info for the officer in charge,
and your mother was dehydrated and exhausted until a bit ago,
so she got a tranquilizer in the chief mourner's room
and fell asleep.
And your father
was moved to the morgue.
You just need to go see him when you're ready.
And these are your clothes.
They're quite thin, so I bought long johns to wear under them.
And when the mourners come,
you'll have to greet them and bow continuously,
so you'll need this.
Put it on while you get changed.
So-hee, I know you're sad, but you can't collapse.
So look after yourself when you can.
Because you're the chief mourner,
you must stay focused and send your father off.
Can you do that?
Yes.
Here, I took care of the items in the hall and the food helpers
since we were in a rush,
and the crematorium and the hearse had to be booked in advance,
so I booked them.
And these…
these are the things you must decide on, from your father's shroud
to the urn and the cemetery,
so take a look.
You need to decide and tell the funeral service workers.
Han Ji-yeon.
I've been through it once.
Ji-yeon…
All I did at that time was show up late and cry,
but they arrived before I did,
and they're holding their tears for me.
How did the time pass?
When I got to take a look at my father's funeral photo,
the undertaker came and…
- Chief Mourner, I'd like you - asked me what do to
- to check on some things. - with this and that,
- Okay. - so I decided and signed,
and was called over here and there…
So-hee, come here.
And when someone who was close to my dad came,
everyone cried together…
When I bring my exhausted mom
and have her lie down, and of course, once again…
- I got called by Ji-yeon, - Drink it.
got called by Ji-goo, and…
So-hee, come eat.
No, thanks. I don’t want to.
Ji-goo bought potato pancakes. You love those things.
Let's eat. You must eat at least. Let's go.
Say ahh. Eat it.
I put random food in my mouth…
It got soggy on the way.
My dad liked soggy food…
I cried…
- By the way, do you remember? - What?
When we were in college, Mr. Ahn saw us,
and asked you, Ji-goo, if you're So-hee's boyfriend.
Remember?
- That day was so… - Remember, right?
I laughed…
Three.
- Timing game, one. - One, two.
And I cried again…
Now, let's drink.
Let's drink.
Okay.
I drank…
Come on! No one died or anything. Wow!
My daughter, your ugly face
has gotten even uglier.
Hey, you dang girl!
I didn't teach you to drink like that!
You must drink with joy! Yeah!
Oh, oh, oh!
What are you girls doing?
Come on, have a drink!
- Ji-yeon. - Yes.
Hey, do you still split legs?
Yes.
Wow, you're amazing.
How is it possible to the splits like that?
So that's called yoga…
yoga, right?
Wow, awesome!
Ji-goo, Ji-goo.
Your name means "The Earth," and it spins, like you!
Hey, are you still doing that paper art thing?
Yes.
Ah, that's why your hands are golden.
Hey, girls, you should
look after my ugly daughter So-hee.
She has an ugly face,
but she has a heart of gold.
Ah, if she falls for some worthless loser,
brings him and says she's going to get married,
I'm going to smash that bastard's damn head
to kill him, and I'm going to kill myself, too! Huh?
Hey, I told you your mother should be the last woman
to suffer from marrying a worthless guy! Didn't I?
What are you doing? Drink! Drink up!
What is this, a funeral? Ji-goo, fill my glass, yes.
Here comes the alcohol, sir.
Alright, drink up!
Wow, this tastes so sweet, you know!
This alcohol tastes sweet.
So damn sweet.
- Oh. - Dad...
Dad! Dad!
Dad!
Dad...
Producer Kang.
Ms. Ahn.
Why are you here?
I'm here as a representative.
A representative of the company.
When?
Uh… a moment ago.
I was about to go in now.
But isn't there a shoot today?
Uh, they said they can take care of it themselves,
and told me to go.
This way, this way.
Where's that bastard Producer Kang?
Producer Kang.
You came a long way, so eat before you go.
I should get going now.
But still, have a bowl of spicy beef soup, at least.
I don't think it's right to just leave like that.
You're being rude to Mr. Ahn.
Who is he…
So-hee told us not to tell people at the broadcasting station,
so you're the first among them.
Ah, okay.
By the way, did you shave?
Ah, yes. In a hurry…
You used a convenience store razor.
He got a cut.
Ah, yes, I was in a hurry, so…
Mom, stop staring at him.
Where are you from?
Yes, I'm from Seoul.
Seongbuk-gu, Seoul.
Isn't he from Gangbuk-gu?
I know, right?
What about your parents?
Why are you asking him that?
My father is in Seoul now,
and my mother passed away.
Can you eat sauced skate?
- Try it. - Ah, yes.
Thank you for the food.
It's delicious.
Yes, the skates from Jeolla-do are the best.
And women from Jeolla-do are the best, too.
Mom.
Your father would've loved him.
What are you talking about?
If So-hee's father was here, he would've given you this first.
Ah, okay.
Have a drink.
Okay.
Mom, no. He has to drive and go back soon.
Ugh, he can sleep here before he goes back.
Or go back tomorrow.
I'm going to the restroom.
Producer Kang!
Ugh… no…
Ah, Producer Kang!
Oh my! Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Lift him with me.
How?
What's wrong with that jerk?
It looks like he can't drink at all.
Oh, my. That's too bad.
Ugh… tut, tut.
He's worthless.
Chief Mourner.
We will put the deceased in the coffin in ten minutes.
What about preparations for the shoot?
Are the panels all there?
What about the cue cards?
I heard that a sponsor company is coming.
- Okay. - So-hee.
We have to go.
No, I have to finish this call.
Ahn So-hee, hang up.
They can do their work without you.
Just a bit more…
So-hee, we have to go.
I'll call you back later.
Can I not go?
I'm too scared.
I know.
Ji-yeon, how were you able to do this?
I don't think I can do this.
Still, you have to be there, so your father can rest in peace.
You must help your mother walk.
Mom.
- The surviving family will now enter. - Okay.
Oh!
Oh, Chul-hwa!
Chul-hwa! Oh! My brother!
Oh, Chul-hwa! Chul-hwa!
Oh, Chul-hwa!
Dad! Dad!
No!
- Honey! - Dad!
Dad!
My dad is terrible with directions.
What if he gets lost when he's on his way alone?
Let's go. Let's go and eat.
You will ruin your stomach if you keep doing that.
You've been drinking too much, So-hee. Stop drinking and eat.
Please…
Stop telling me to eat, please!
I'm not going to!
I'm not here to shove food down my throat!
I said, I'm not here to shove food down my throat!
I was going to drink only one glass, but…
it looks like I got drunk.
Hey, Han Ji-yeon!
Do you hate me for coming late
to your mother's funeral?
You hate me for that, don't you? I know you do!
Hey, Ahn So-hee!
You're drunk. Stop drinking.
What? Kang Ji-goo! What?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are to tell me to stop drinking?
Are you bluffing because both of your parents are alive?
Be nice to them while they're still alive, you piece of crap!
Heaven will punish you if you do that!
But why did I get punished by heaven?
I called my mom and dad every single day
and sent them money, too.
So why did they take only my dad away?
Why did they take only my dad away?
Get some rest, okay?
What are you looking at?
Haven't you seen a drunk person before?
- So-hee. - Huh?
Haven't you seen someone get drunk after losing her dad?
Get out, all of you!
Are you all here to watch how my dad died?
Get lost, all of you.
Damn it. Get lost, all of you!
Get lost...
Ahn So-hee.
That's enough already.
Okay? Go inside and sleep.
Who do you think you are?
Stop it!
Hurry up and sleep.
I hate this!
Damn it...
Ugh…
Ugh, sir, don't watch this. Ugh, damn it.
I can't watch.
Lord.
God, our father who created everything in the world
and who watches over our lives, deaths and breaths…
Hey, Ji-goo.
Kang Ji-goo.
- Kang Ji-goo. Kang Ji-goo. - Damn it.
"Damn it?"
Mom, why are you here?
You asked me to come.
I asked Dad to come.
Ma'am.
- Oh, hi. - Oh, gosh.
How come you girls are drunk 24 hours a day? Huh?
Ugh, I just can't believe this.
Did you have to drink this much at your friend's father's funeral?
Oh, I asked them to drink with me.
I'm So-hee's mom.
Oh, hello, ma'am. Nice to meet you.
You must be so heartbroken.
I don't know what to say.
I wanted to thank you for looking after my daughter,
and I finally get to do that here.
It's okay. I'm here to see my daugher as well.
My daughter called me for the first time in seven years.
Uh, it's me. Do you have time tomorrow?
Well, perhaps I shouldn't say this here, but…
I was glad to hear from her.
Where's Ji-hoo?
He's sleeping in the car.
God, our holy father, who never changes.
We are all gathered here
to hold a funeral for Mr. Ahn Chul-hwa,
who left this world before us to join you in heaven…
Ji-goo, thank you.
So please watch over him with grace and love…
Thanks to your father, my dad's trip won't be lonely.
Oh, holy God.
Yeah, that's a relief.
I'm sure he'll go to heaven.
By the way, I drank a lot last night, didn't I?
You were being a jerk.
Hey, by the way, that other jerk…
Does he think the chief mourner's room is his?
The coffin will be carried out soon, so wake him up.
We have to go.
Let's leave him here.
Let him be. I'm sure he'll wake up if he has to.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay, never mind.
Chief Mourner.
Please excuse me.
Chief Mourner, we need more pall bearers.
Ah, my friends can carry it.
Ah, I'm sorry, but,
only men can carry the coffin.
There aren't many men in our family.
That's why I'm the chief mourner,
and my friends greeted the mourners.
So I don't think the pall bearers have to be men.
Chief Mourner, the coffin is heavier than you think.
My dad always said
that you never know what might happen
in life, until the very end.
Who would've known that Producer Kang would carry my dad's coffin?
Please stop for a moment.
Please place the deceased in the hearse.
Please push the coffin in at the center.
Oh, he's doing that, at least.
Yeah, he's actually pretty trustworthy and good.
The family members, please come forward and shovel the dirt,
one by one.
Mom, let me ask you for a favor.
A nice man is going to be there soon.
Pour some makgeolli for him.
And have a drink with him. He and you both love your daughters.
You love alcohol…
So drink as much as you want when you get there.
I'll take my things from Seoul and attend the third day of mourning.
Are you okay with it?
I have your aunt and everyone else,
so you should take care of yourself.
Please look after So-hee.
- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.
Oh, thank you so much.
- Oh, thank you. - Don't mention it.
You've done so much.
Please be well,
ma'am.
Hey.
Get in our car on your way back to Seoul.
Uh, no, I'm going to get in his car.
Right?
Ms. Ahn, get some sleep.
It's going to be sad from now on.
My dad was a "singing beggar."
He was the star of all stars on the streets of Namdo.
And he was always smiling,
so he was called Toothless Hahoe Mask.
My dad said that the happiest times for him
was when he'd got off one stop before Mom got off
on his way back from a show,
drink makgeolli,
and walk while singing.
And he called me every time he did that.
My daughter!
Oh, are you ugly today, as always?
Oh, I'm on my way home after work, of course.
Yeah.
Hey, we got some nice mackerels recently.
I'll send you a box, okay?
My dad always said meaningless jokes,
but on that day, he suddenly asked me to look after Mom.
Hey, you know that your mother
has to have varicose vein surgery, right?
He's someone who'd even walk into a pot of poop if it's about Mom,
- Yeah, yeah. - and it seemed weird, and…
that was my last call with him.
My dad was run over by a wild boar
on a country street at late night.
You know,
I just want to have a drink and sing on the streets
the moment I die.
And that's how he really died.
It was autumn of 2021.
I cried so much for three days,
so I thought I ran out of tears,
but the sorrow, fear, and sadness
I've never heard of or seen before
rose from deep within my heart and exploded.
Everyone in this car knows
that no one can comfort me at this moment.
But I know
that everyone's crying without making a sound.
That everyone's been crying with me
for three days straight.
I said, what's wrong?
My dad passed away.
- Oh, So-hee! - So-hee!
Oh, no…
She left her phone, too.
- And her bag, too. - I'll go.
Can you please help her so she can eat these?
At this rate, she can't eat anything,
and she threw up what she ate today, so her stomach is empty.
And this is for her to be comfortable
on her way there…
She has turtle neck syndrome.
Ah, okay.
She's going to have a hard time for the next few days,
so don't wake her up if she's asleep.
And here.
Don't tell her that I gave this.
You just need to put it at her feet while she's asleep.
And if something happens, please call me.
I'll leave her in your care.
Why don't you take her yourself, if you're going to do this?
And please don't tell her that you met me.
Do you like her?
That's not what it is, but…
But please, take a good care of her.
- It's a quite far, so… - Okay.
Yes, Mr. Driver.
We've arrived, but she just fell asleep.
Shall I wake her up?
Just leave her be until she wakes up herself.
I'll pay you more for that.
Mr. Driver.
Thank you so much.
Well, did she eat anything?
- She drank a half of the honey water. - Okay.
And she ate one piece of the sandwich, too.
Ah.
And she slept well, with that neck pillow.
Thank you. And here…
I put a bit more money in it,
just as I told you already.
Oh, no, thank you.
This is making me cry. Good grief…
Just ask her out if you can.
I told you, it's not like that.
