WELCOME TO SAMDAL-RI
But even if we can't forget the reason,
but we could still overcome it.
The memories of our love…
are stronger than the reason for our breakup.
I know
that whatever the reason for our breakup was…
I can overcome all of it.
Keep your eyes on the trail.
What? You don't like how I keep looking at you?
I mean…
You're making me embarrassed, so look in front of you.
Come on! I said look straight.
Why should I?
I haven't been able to see you much, so to make up for that,
I'll have to stare at you like this for three years.
You'll trip and fall, you idiot.
Don't worry, I won't.
And I won't mind if I do.
By the way, Yong-pil. Did we take a path like this on our way up?
Hey, where are we?
Hey!
You!
Where are…
Here it is.
We're here.
Are you okay?
No, I'm not.
Right. Of course not.
I'm sure it's unlikely you'd be okay.
Didn't I tell you to keep your eyes on the trail?
I tried, I swear. But come on.
How could I look ahead when you were next to me?
Stop being so pretty. Okay?
I was bewitched because you're so pretty.
It's because I was captivated by you.
What are you talking about?
All right. Hop in.
You must be hungry. Get in.
Let's go eat, okay?
My legs are trembling, and my ankles are sore.
Forget it. I'm not hungry.
Looks like you are hungry. Let's hurry. Watch your foot.
Anyone would be hungry if they were lost and wandering for two hours like that.
It took us 15 minutes to go up, but two hours to come down!
All right. I get it.
-Eat up. You said you were hungry. -You--
All right.
At least we had a nice walk.
Don't you have any kimchi?
No. If I did, we'd be eating it.
Should I go steal some? I can put it on Gyeong-tae's tab.
-It's fine. -No?
It's not as good without kimchi though.
Ramyeon and kimchi go hand-in-hand, don't they?
This is the only way to stop your mother from diving.
I'll help you.
Tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.
A Samdal-ri theme park presentation for residents.
Let's work together.
Is all of that Mom's medicine?
Yeah.
That sure is a lot.
I found where her diving suit was.
Ha-yul was the one who hid it.
Ha-yul?
She must've heard the ladies talking.
She was worried Mom would get hurt while diving,
so she stashed it in a spot next to her bed.
Hey. Is Sam-dal home?
Why isn't she back yet?
All right.
Sam-dal, let's go home. I'll take…
LUCKY CONVENIENCE STORE
Ms. Ko. Were you at the tangerine grove?
-Yes, I just refilled the vinegar. -I see.
What about you? Why are you back here?
I left my phone at the store.
I see.
By the way, are the kids still inside?
No idea.
Is Sam-dal still out?
She must be at the hideout then. Let's go and check.
All right.
I always leave it here.
What?
The lights are on, so they must still be here.
Are you guys drinking again?
They drink every day ever since Sam-dal came.
Sam-dal, your mom's here!
Oh, dear!
I know these two like each other,
but in front of her mother? Goodness.
S-Sam-dal?
Sam-dal.
It's okay.
What?
Let them be.
What?
Ms. Ko!
Goodness. Ms. Ko!
You're going to let her sleep there and not take her home?
She's an adult. Why take her home when she's asleep?
She'll come in once she wakes up.
Bye.
EPISODE 12 WELCOME HOME
My goodness.
My gosh.
-My dear goodness. -Hey, are you okay?
-Wait. What? -What's going on?
What?
Did we spend the night here? Did we?
-We did. -Hey!
You should've woken me up, not fall asleep too!
Hold on. What time is it?
It's 6:00 a.m.
This is insane.
Oh, my god.
-What do I do? -What in the world?
What's going on?
Wait. Mr. Man-su?
You don't have to be formal, Sam-dal.
All right, Man-su.
We just fell asleep. By accident, okay?
So don't let your imagination run wild, and keep your mouth shut.
I'll keep my mouth shut. Okay?
Good.
Yong-pil, are you okay?
-Sam-dal! -Oh, my God!
Hello. How are you?
I'm good, but I can't speak for your mom.
Sorry?
I get that shotgun weddings are a thing these days,
but you can't do that in front of your mom.
Did my mom come by here?
Yeah.
Being in love is great and all, but you should apologize to her.
How can you sleep next to a man in front of your mom?
Ms. Ko sure is open-minded.
Ma'am, we just fell asleep by accident. Okay?
Nothing happened at all between us. Really.
I'm serious!
You're adults. It'd be strange if nothing happened between you two.
Ma'am…
Darn it!
I'm rooting for you two.
Come on!
Being in love isn't a sin!
I'm home.
-Cho Sam-dal. -Yes?
Are you getting home just now?
Come home early next time.
You should've woken me up when you came by the hideout.
Yong-pil and I've been going around and working on a project together lately.
But we got lost on the way back.
So we just wanted to rest for a bit since we were so tired.
But we ended up falling asleep.
So what you saw was--
Forget it.
What are you rambling on about? I can't understand a word you're saying.
You're an adult.
You don't have to explain to me about who you were with.
But…
it's Yong-pil.
So?
So what if it's Yong-pil?
Mom, is it okay…
if I…
like him?
Look…
Look, Sang-tae--
That's weird. I swear it was here.
I told you this wasn't trash.
Bye.
Dad!
I told you this is not trash.
LUCKY CONVENIENCE STORE
Sir.
Thanks.
Secretary Ko.
Jin-dal will probably come, right?
Right?
She will.
I have a hunch that she will.
My hunch tells me she won't.
What a pessimist.
You hear me? You need to stop being so negative.
It'd be a positive thing for me if she didn't show up.
If the chairman finds out about the theme park plans for Samdal-ri…
My goodness!
I admire your ability to foresee an oncoming crisis.
So act quickly
without him knowing.
Hey.
Ms. Cho!
You made it, dear!
I'm glad you came.
Don't call me that.
I'm afraid we'll be seeing each other often now.
Then, how about
"honey"--
Don't call me that either.
Then,
"Ms. Cho"? "Jin-dal"?
Or…
-"Darling"? -You little…
Then, what else is there?
Any ideas, Secretary Ko?
-"Hey"? "Look"? -That sounds good.
I'll use "Hey," and you use "Look." Okay?
I see. I'll use "Hey."
No, I'll use "Look."
You'll use "Hey."
Are we going to go? Let's go.
What?
Wait up. My car's back there.
Look, we promise we'll do a better job this time.
Yes, sir.
Don't you worry.
What do you mean I'm getting Eun-ju work for personal reasons?
Eun-hye's gone, so her project needs a new photographer.
Cho Eun-hye?
I can't tell her to come back.
What do you mean the public has been quiet? It's just a brief lull.
How can you let her come back?
Are you done?
-Yeah. -Let's go.
The director has high hopes for this one.
You're prepared, right?
Where in the world is it?
Have you seen the kimchi container?
Kimchi? No, I haven't.
Grandma.
Aunt Sam-dal took it earlier.
What? Why would she?
I don't know.
But at least the kimchi wasn't rotten,
so I'm sure she's not out to kill anyone.
What are you worried about? It's just kimchi.
It's not like I packed his lunch or embroidered something for him.
I'm just giving him some of my mom's kimchi.
I'll have some and so will Gyeong-tae and Eun-u.
We'll all share it.
Is this too childish?
It's not a big deal.
We're just sharing food. What's the big deal?
That's hot.
So hot.
-Sam-dal! -My goodness!
What are you doing down there?
What are you doing up there?
I'm having some tteokbokki.
Hurry up and come have some. It's good.
Why did you bring kimchi?
No reason.
-Wait. Is it because of yesterday-- -What do you mean?
I didn't scurry over here with kimchi because you craved it last night, okay?
It's just that we need some kimchi to at least eat stuff around here. Right?
I think you did scurry over.
Look, I didn't scurry over here. I'm not a kid.
The ramyeon didn't taste that good because there was no kimchi yesterday.
Yeah, this is for me.
I'm going to eat it.
So you're eating ramyeon again today?
No, I'm not.
What? You're not making any sense.
I'm not forcing you to have it, and you're not going to eat it.
-What's your deal? Just throw it away. -Why would you do that?
In that case…
You can just have it then.
Why are you laughing?
-Stop laughing. -All right.
Sam-dal, I told you yesterday to stop being so pretty.
And stop being so cute
and so thoughtful.
I just can't get a grip.
What are you talking about?
Hey, I'll eat the kimchi.
No, you can't have it.
Seriously, I'll eat it.
Don't smile.
What was that for?
-Sam-dal… -Hey, Gyeong-tae.
What's wrong, Gyeong-tae?
You fool…
What in the world did you go through?
-Me? What do you mean? -What is it?
What do you mean "go through"?
What's this?
Hey!
Cho Eun-hye!
You little…
You scared me.
What's wrong?
What's the matter? What is it?
This is…
Mom, she's…
Which one of your sisters?
Jin-dal or Sam-dal?
Never mind. It's nothing you need to worry about.
Give it to me.
But why? I told you it's no big deal.
I said give it to me.
Did another article come out about Sam-dal?
I said give it to me now!
Hey!
Cho Eun-hye!
You little…
How dare you endanger my hard-working daughter?
Who do you think you are?
You think I'll let you get away with this, you bitch?
Huh?
I'll make you pay double for what you did to her.
Who is this woman?
Who is it?
I'll make sure you're ruined!
Who is this woman?
I'm asking you!
You think you're something?
ASSISTANT'S MOTHER DISCIPLINES HER!
"Assistant's mother"?
Is this Bang Eun-ju's mother?
Yes.
Mom!
…get away with this.
That woman is crazy.
How could she hit that poor skinny girl?
Damn it. Bang Eun-ju.
She's the real evil bitch.
She'll pay for this.
JEJU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
What's the matter?
Didn't you record this at the hospital?
Cho Eun-hye!
You little…
So?
Did you upload this?
Yeah.
Why would you do that now?
Because I was bored.
JEJU NEWS
CHO SAM-DAL CHOSEN FOR JEJU AND WEATHER EXHIBITION
Let's just hear them out and say no too.
Right.
Jin-dal.
-Jin-dal. -Hello, sir.
What are you doing here? What if your mom finds out?
Everyone,
I'm here as a resident of Samdal-ri too.
It'd be nice if our town gets a landmark.
Your mom is the leader of the haenyeos.
She's going to be livid if she finds out you're here.
-So you should go. -Go on, now.
Who cares if she's livid?
-Watch it. -How could you say that?
No, I mean I'd rather have her mad at me about this.
Our haenyeos can't go on diving forever.
You've all learned how to dive too to be like them,
but you don't do it because it's hard.
Well, that's…
That's true, but…
Right? It's so demanding.
But no one has to go diving if they build a theme park here.
Why pass up such a good opportunity?
You need to think about this carefully. Okay?
If the AS theme park is built here in Samdal-ri,
it will create around 10,000 new jobs.
Plus, we expect that our theme park will become recognized
as a popular tourist attraction representing Samdal-ri,
which will greatly help in revitalizing the town.
Cut to the chase.
What will the theme park have?
I need to go fertilize my tangerine grove.
Speed things up.
Yes, ma'am. Please look at this slide then.
First, we plan to light up the coast by installing lasers along it
to create a promenade for nighttime walks.
We're all in bed by 9:00 p.m.
It'll be too bright to sleep with those things on!
-Right! -The old ladies won't get any sleep.
-Right. -They won't.
We can negotiate the details later to lower the brightness.
What do you mean? Why turn on lights at night?
-It'll be too bright. -What's this?
Is this a joke?
Turn the lights off!
If their bedtime is at 9:00 p.m., then we should turn them off by then.
Why would anyone take a stroll that late at night anyway?
Sir, it's a nighttime attraction. You can't turn them off at 9:00 p.m.
Then, forget the nighttime. Change it into a daytime attraction.
Yes, sir.
Then, we'll discuss this internally a bit more.
The second attraction is called Safari World.
Around 50 different species of animals,
-including wild animals, such as lions-- -Wild animals?
Are you insane?
I've seen on the news how they escape and come into the towns.
You want us to live in fear?
-She's right. -We can't live like that.
Yes, that's why we'll hire professional zookeepers
who'll work in shifts around the clock.
When a pig from the next village comes in, they turn our fields into a mess.
-But what? Wild animals? -Right.
Yeah. He's totally right.
No wild animals!
-Sir. -Take them out.
It's too dangerous.
Why keep the wild animals locked up?
Sir!
What kind of safari doesn't have wild animals?
That idiot.
Does he want to build a theme park or not?
He wants to remove everything!
All right, everyone! Hear me out.
It won't be too bright if we make the lights face the water.
It won't be that bright.
Frankly speaking, our village is a bit too dark at night.
-That's true. -Was it two years ago
when Famous Sangdo's was robbed at night?
What's the point of CCTV cameras?
They couldn't catch the thief because it was too dark to see.
That's right.
-It was pitch black. -Exactly.
And the wild animals? Those incidents on the news are very rare.
If they do come into our village, just call me.
I'll catch them.
You know how strong I am, right? I'll catch them.
Look.
You should offer solutions to problems, not just get rid of everything.
Who's behind this project?
My father…
I mean, the chairman.
Exactly. The chairman.
Do you think he'll approve of a safari without any wild animals in it?
You're already bound to be chewed out for moving it to Samdal-ri.
What? You're smiling?
I mean…
Watching you helping me out brought back old memories.
You would be by my side, dear, and guide me through everything
so I wouldn't get an earful from my father even if I deserved it.
He scolds me all the time now.
Don't call me "dear." It's "Hey."
Right.
Cho Eun-hye!
CHO EUN-HYE GETS PUNISHED! ASSISTANT'S MOTHER DISCIPLINES HER!
How dare you endanger my hard-working daughter?
Hey, Sam-dal! You were hit?
Jin-dal, calm down.
It's okay. Don't make it worse.
Mom found out?
Why did Hae-dal tell her that?
Really, I'm fine.
Okay?
Bye.
Jeez.
Why is this happening now and making a mess?
For crying out loud.
You're not fine.
What?
Well, it's all in the past.
So what if it is? It doesn't change the fact that she hit you.
Why did you go there by yourself? It's dangerous.
You don't know who's out there. You should've taken someone with you.
I can't take someone with me.
Jin-dal would've caused a scene there,
and it would've been embarrassing to bring my assistants.
But why did you let her hit you?
You're innocent!
Why did you let some stranger hit you?
You should've fought back!
I didn't know what to do at the time.
When I think about it now,
I regret not fighting back and letting her hit me.
But it was my first time experiencing something like that.
So don't say I was a fool to let her keep hitting me
and should've done this or that.
Don't say those things, Yong-pil. Okay?
It just upsets me so much.
You were all alone when it happened.
You bottled things up to bear it and cried by yourself, and that just…
We're all alone in this world, you know?
You're not alone.
You have your parents, your sisters, your friends.
And you have me!
Right here.
You have me too now.
You're not alone.
So from now on,
stop going through things alone, bottling things up, and then crying.
Got it?
It's not really a big deal that I was alone…
Answer me. Got it?
Yes, I got it.
Why didn't you tell us she hit you?
Why would you let her hit you?
You should've taken us with you if you were going to her hospital!
I'm going to make them pay. How dare they lay a finger on you?
I wonder who uploaded that video. It was definitely intentional.
You…
Things had been quiet online, but they're talking about you again.
Look at this.
A mother's love is the most touching thing.
-Most refreshing scene of 2023. -I loved it.
She deserved it for hurting her child.
Goodness.
Those lunatics--
Mom.
Give me her mother's number.
Gosh, Mom. Forget it.
Do it right now!
If you don't have it, give me Eun-ju's number.
But…
-How could you let her hit you? -Mom.
How could you?
Mom!
Why did you let her hit you like an idiot when you did nothing wrong?
Mom, please.
I didn't let you go to Seoul to be treated like that!
Give me her number.
I'll do the same thing to her.
I'm fine, Mom.
-No, you're not! -Mom.
-What do you mean "fine"? -Mom, please.
For goodness' sake…
Hey.
You call this a site survey?
They're either all tourist spots or places other photographers used.
I don't want familiar places. I said to find the hidden gems!
I can't put up with this garbage anymore.
Look--
We at least need a set theme to find a spot.
Have you lost your mind?
Despite the abuse of power, you used to work for Cho Eun-hye.
So I was bearing it, thinking I could learn from you.
But you're less skilled than I am.
You didn't think of a theme, did you?
That's why you're taking it out on us! Come on, let's go.
Where are you going? You can't leave.
We're assistant directors, not your personal maids.
Carry your own bags from now on.
Let's go.
-Where are you going? -Hey.
Hey!
What did she even learn from Cho Eun-hye?
Look, let me sort things out first.
Go get some rest, and I'll…
Come on.
You can't let them leave like this.
What about the on-location shoot? We need assistants.
That damn Cho Eun-hye.
How dare they mention her name?
Eun-ju…
Eun-ju!
We've already changed ADs three times this month.
If this shoot flops, even I'll get fired.
The team's coming next week, and you have no theme.
Where are we going to shoot tomorrow? We don't even have a theme.
You're not alone.
You have your parents, your sisters, your friends.
And you have me!
Right here.
Mom.
Did it hurt?
You must've been so shocked alone.
It did hurt.
I was shocked
and scared.
It felt like no one in the world was on my side
and I was left all by myself.
I was scared.
I shouldn't have let you go to the mainland.
Mom?
I wasn't done talking yet.
Back then. I was scared back then.
But I'm really okay now.
You're here with me now. On my side.
So stop being so upset.
You're making this house feel so gloomy, Ms. Ko.
All right.
SAMDAL POLICE SUBSTATION
Look at this!
This is downright assault.
In broad daylight!
She assaulted her out in public!
How is this "discipline"? It's assault! See?
Yes, she could clearly charged for assault.
They obviously posted this video maliciously.
They didn't even blur out Sam-dal's face!
He's right! Why didn't they blur out her face? We have publicity rights too!
Goodness!
-You can sue her for all that. -Right.
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but for Sam-dal's sake, I think you shouldn't do anything.
-Why not? -Why not?
Public opinion is totally against her right now.
You know it.
Things have died down a bit now, so she can finally breathe.
Exactly! Things settled down, and then this upset us again!
-Sang-bong! -What?
What are you doing here?
What's that called? We'd like to report an assault.
Damn it. Cheon Chung-gi and Bang Eun-ju are the problems.
We should've beaten them up last time, Yong-pil.
I completely agree. Damn it.
-What? You saw them? -Yeah, when we went to Seoul.
Then, go back in and get a facial composite. You too, Yong-pil.
Hey, there are loads of photos of Bang Eun-ju online.
Really?
Dolphins suffer in aquariums.
Please protect them.
OCEAN AQUARIUM
Hey, kid. I mean, Ha-yul.
Please release the dolphins into the sea.
FREE THE DOLPHINS
Ha-yul, are you seriously going to stay out here and not go in?
Yes. Like he said, it's nice to watch dolphins,
but it's more meaningful to protect them.
I mean, she seemed to really love dolphins,
so I just taught her the correct way to care for them.
Hey, mister.
Is it true that dolphins in aquariums really don't live as long?
Yes, dolphins can live up to 40 years in the sea.
But many of them in captivity only live for four years.
Why's that?
Well, how would you feel if you were always stuck in a small room?
I'd be stressed out.
Right?
Dolphins are meant for the vast ocean,
so sticking them in a small tank stresses them out.
I see.
Stress sure is the root of all illnesses.
You're very knowledgeable, Ha-yul.
You're so smart.
By the way, mister,
who made these?
These? They were made by volunteers at the Dolphin Center…
Would you like to come visit?
Yes, I would.
Hey.
Why did you agree to go with him to the Dolphin Center?
It's okay. He's not a stranger.
So,
you're the president, right?
Aren't you busy then? You don't have to do this for us--
It's my job.
Didn't we agree to speak casually when we met at that bar?
What? My goodness, when did I agree to that?
Excuse me, sir, but why would I speak casually?
Are you crazy? We're not even friends.
It's not true.
Mister, why did you become Namchun's dad?
Me?
Because if I didn't,
no one in this world would've protected her.
JEJU DOLPHIN CENTER
This place is nice and cozy.
You said you wouldn't speak casually.
I only said that because you mentioned going to a bar in front of her.
This place used to be abandoned.
I opened it after a year of cleaning and fixing it up.
You've done a great job.
I had no idea it was abandoned.
Nothing's impossible for a father.
I'm Namchun's dad, after all.
Right.
When and how did you first meet Namchun?
When I was 21, I worked part-time at an aquarium
to go backpacking across Europe.
That's when we first met.
What? So does that mean Namchun was in captivity then?
Yes.
Then one day, she stopped eating
and started slamming her body against the wall whenever I went inside to clean.
At first, I thought she was just playing,
but I soon found out she was hurting herself to end her life.
What? Are dolphins capable of doing that?
Yes. It's called stranding, and it's not uncommon in other countries.
It's when dolphins end their own lives due to stress.
She was pregnant with Oryong at the time.
Dolphins born in aquariums usually don't live very long.
I think Namchun was aware of that.
She wanted to die with her baby rather than have it live in captivity.
Right.
That's when I realized I was the only person who could protect Namchun.
I see.
I think I know how you felt.
I don't want to!
It's my baby! Why do I have to do that?
You're only 21.
She has no father. How will you raise her alone?
-We'll raise her instead. -Exactly!
She doesn't have her father,
so she should at least have her mother!
Are you two her mother. Are you?
If she and I were drowning,
you two would save me first.
No one in this world can protect her like I can.
So who will protect her if I don't?
Ha-yul is…
Last time, she was crying by the shore.
I'd never seen such a thoughtful 9-year-old.
What…
She was crying? Why?
Isn't your mother the leader of the haenyeos?
I ran into Ha-yul when your mother's accident happened.
She was crying, saying who would protect her mother if her grandma died.
What?
What if the sea takes away my grandma?
What will happen to my mom?
She's so thoughtful.
Hey, why are you crying?
Ha-yul.
Why are you crying, Mom?
Did someone make you cry?
Is that why you hid Grandma's diving suit?
Because you were afraid
there would be no one to protect me if something happened to her?
Why would you worry about something like that?
You should only worry about what games to play
and what food you're going to eat the next day.
I'm still a kid so I can't protect you!
I don't need anyone to protect me.
I have someone to protect.
I have you.
Even if there's no one to protect me,
I'm ten times stronger than anyone else.
Those who have others to protect are always much stronger.
Ha-yul…
You don't have to worry about such things.
I don't want you to worry about those things.
Mom, this is…
Seriously, I…
Jin-dal.
Did you go to the theme park presentation?
No.
Why would I go there?
Sam-dal, hurry up and come out.
Okay! I'm coming!
Tell him to take it back to Namdal-ri.
What is she talking about?
God, this reeks.
This is too much.
-Gosh. -Jeez.
-Why do we still do this? -Gross.
What is this?
It really is the boondocks.
You said we're doing a site survey. Why did we come to this town?
This is Eun-hye's hometown.
How did you know?
I'm her ex. I know her real name, Cho Sam-dal.
When she got drunk, she'd always say she'd never return to Samdal-ri.
We need to find a spot fast. Why did we come here?
That's exactly what we're doing here.
You're going to pick a spot here?
Yeah.
Don't you think we'll find a lot of hidden gems with retro vibes?
Ms. Cho, the retro theme is amazing.
-Not bad, right? -Totally.
Since it's supposed to be a countryside how about your hometown? Jeju Island.
Well, my hometown sure does have hidden spots that are retro.
But I don't want to go there.
Hey. What if you run into her?
She hates her hometown.
She'd never come even if her career's done.
Pull over somewhere.
Let's walk around and explore the place.
This is out of my hands now.
WHY BANG EUN-JU EXPOSED CHO EUN-HYE: "I WANTED RESPECT"
Look at her. She looks downright evil.
And you look so ugly.
Why are you picking on me?
Mom, look at this.
This is Bang Eun-ju, the girl who tormented Sam-dal.
What an evil brat.
-What was that for? -Pass it on to her.
How am I going to do that?
-Hello. -Hello.
Gosh, it's hot.
What?
It can't be.
It is her.
Gyeon-tae…
Gyeong-tae, come out. Hurry up!
I took this a while ago.
I see.
It kind of looks like her.
Take a good look.
She looks a bit different to me.
Women from Seoul all look similar.
No wonder you're single.
Her hair is…
-I said hurry up, Eun-u. -Come, come!
But why would she come here?
Exactly.
Right? She wouldn't willingly come into the lion's den.
Maybe she's here to give Sam-dal more trouble.
-What? -That little…
-Hey, did you call Sang-do? -Yeah.
Let's confront them once we're sure.
-Okay. -All right!
Keep it down.
Mom, we got them mixed up.
-Let's go. -Okay.
They're leaving. What should we do?
-What do we do? -What should we do?
Hey, Cheon Chung-gi and Bang Eun-ju!
-You grabbed my collar last time. -It's them.
-So they did walk into the lion's den. -What?
-How dare you set foot here? -So you're that idiot?
How dare you two come here?
-Who are these people? -Why are you doing this?
"Why are you doing this?"
What about you?
Why did you do that to our Sam-dal?
Hey, Bang Eun-ju.
Your mother hit our dear Sam-dal, so where is she?
I told you to stay away from her.
I've had enough of this.
Hey!
Run.
Get them!
-Get them! -Hey!
-Stop right there! -Come back here!
Damn it.
Hey.
Hey, Bang Eun-ju and that Chung-gi guy are here.
Why would they come here?
I don't know. We just lost them.
Who knows what they'll do to Sam-dal, so go to her right now.
All right.
Sam-dal, where are you?
Really?
Just stay there. Don't go anywhere.
I'll be there soon.
What's up with him?
Yuck! This vinegar reeks. It's giving me a headache.
The odor of the vinegar has to be strong, so it keeps the birds away.
You're right.
Gosh.
Nothing works better than vinegar.
Hey, I'm in the grove.
What is it?
I'm refilling the vinegar in the groves.
Okay.
Why did we have to come to Eun-hye's hometown?
-Why run? We didn't do anything wrong. -Bang Eun-ju.
Didn't you see their faces?
They were defending Sam-dal and threatening to kill us!
Mom, we're done. We can go now.
Mom.
Mom, have a tangerine.
You know, at this point, you're obsessed with Eun-hye.
Coming to her hometown? Posting that old video?
-Things had finally been quiet for a bit. -What?
You couldn't wait to hand over my project to her?
Wait a minute.
People were starting to ask to work with her again,
so you posted the video?
Bring her back? After what she did to me?
I just stomped on her to make sure she'd never get up again.
You think my daughter's a cockroach?
Pardon me?
What?
What's this smell?
-Mom! -Mom!
What…
-It's Eun-ju! -What's this smell?
It's Bang Eun-ju!
God, what's this smell?
Have you lost your mind, lady?
Why are you two here?
Well…
Yes.
I have lost my mind.
What kind of mother would be sane after what her daughter went through?
No mother would!
I understood why your mother was upset by what happened to her daughter.
But what did you say?
Stomp on her to make sure she'd never get up again?
I heard you lied about what happened to you.
I heard you denied it yourself!
But why did you do that?
Why did you lie?
-Still, throwing the vinegar was-- -You think she can't get back up?
Go ahead and stomp on her again.
Ma'am, please…
I never taught her how to fall,
but I did teach her how to get back up.
She'll get back up every single time!
Make sure to tell your mother this.
I'll pay her back for what she did to my child.
She has a mother too!
-Ma'am… -Mom.
Eun-hye, hold on. Let me explain.
How dare you touch her?
You bastard.
Don't you touch her. You got that?
You got a death wish?
Hey.
You're the guy who came to our office.
That's right. It's me, you bastard.
You're getting on my nerves. Okay? You're irritating me.
-Do you get me? -What do you mean?
It means stay out of my sight, you bastard.
You better get lost. You'll regret it if I see you again.
-One minute-- -Damn it!
-Gosh! -Cho Eun-hye!
Do you think I'll let this go?
Mom, give me a minute.
Go ahead and post this too.
What?
Film this and post it online too.
What? You're losing the work you got pretending to be the victim,
so are you afraid I'll take your jobs?
I'm not a thief, so why would I steal from you?
I have other ways to support myself.
How could you be so brazen and come here?
-Is this your territory or something? -Yes, it is.
I may have had no power in Seoul,
but this is my turf.
So you should watch out.
If you play around here, you'll regret it.
Got that?
Let's go, Mom.
You.
You would be dead by now if it wasn't for my mom.
Mess with my sister again, and I'll…
Jeez.
Gosh.
Why did you bring this in here?
What's wrong?
I won't tolerate anyone who mistreats our daughters anymore.
I won't put up with people who give Sam-dal a hard time either.
Just you wait and see.
Mom, is it okay,,,
if I…
like him?
What's the matter?
What is it?
I've been giving Sam-dal a hard time too.
I'm going to deal with myself first.
Goodness.
Your mom is impressive.
It'll take them two weeks to get rid of that vinegar smell.
Tell me about it.
My mom has such a temper.
What is it? You look happy.
Is it because she got revenge against Eun-ju for you?
No.
To be honest, I've been happy all day.
I was terrified even to think about it when I was back on the mainland.
But now that I'm here, when I saw that video,
I felt fine.
Why?
Do you know that feeling
of being the sole survivor of your team during dodgeball?
You're surrounded by the opposing team,
and they're glaring at you as they think about which part of me they want to hit.
That's exactly how I felt back in Seoul.
But…
I finally started to see it once I came back to Jeju.
In between the crowd of the opposing team,
I could see my team waving and telling me they were here for me.
Yeah, my team…
After I realized that,
I think that's when I started to feel better.
I'm proud of you, Sam-dal.
These days, I think it was wise of me to come here.
I can't believe the aunties went and scared them as well.
What do we do with them?
Do you remember?
It feels like yesterday when you came back here as a failure.
But look how well you're doing now.
Hey, I told you I didn't fail.
I just returned to my hometown.
You're right.
I guess Bang Eun-ju's video was a big help to you.
That did nothing for me.
What was it then?
Well,
I remembered what you told me last time.
You told me I wasn't alone.
So it must've been me who was waving in the midst of the enemy.
-Yeah. -Right.
I see.
If the industry wants you back,
would you return to Seoul?
No.
Finding Cho Sam-dal is no longer my goal.
Then, what is it?
Now, it's to achieve things as Cho Sam-dal.
What things?
Things that Cho Sam-dal couldn't do or achieve.
Anything.
Present arms.
Oh, you're here.
The pork here is great.
Here. Eat up.
What is it this time?
Yong-pil doesn't want to join headquarters.
And his transfer isn't up to me.
For colluding with you,
that punk's about to report me to HQ for trying to coerce his transfer.
He's my punk.
Not yours.
Why do both of you keep having a change of heart?
What's going on?
He refused to join HQ, and you refused to send him there.
So?
But he suddenly became interested in going.
Then, he changed his mind again.
He was interested before?
-When? -I can't remember. A while ago.
But he hasn't thought of going ever since.
He's very busy right now.
All forecasters have the same job.
What's there to be busy about?
Goodness, haven't you heard?
I shouldn't tell you this.
-What is it? -Yong-pil…
is serving his punishment.
For what?
Punished for what?
What did he do wrong?
What is this?
Are you planning to crochet a scarf?
Don't you recognize it?
Take a closer look.
It's just a ball of yarn.
Do you really not remember?
Unravel it then.
You want me to unravel this?
Just do it.
Here.
Okay, unravel it.
-This? -Yes, pull it.
-This is going to take ages. -Just do it.
Pull it.
-Like this? -Yes. Faster.
-You want me to keep going? -Yeah, it'll take about two hours.
It's going to take forever.
Faster.
That floral pattern buoy. I think it belonged to the haenyeo leader.
On the day of her accident,
he ran out in the middle of work,
so he was disciplined for that.
What did you say?
Who was it for? The haenyeo leader?
Yeah.
He went to the Weather Service division, and he's busy helping a photographer.
Right.
I heard the photographer who was chosen
is also the daughter of the haenyeo leader.
They must be very close.
Sang-tae, where are you going?
You're all done now.
-There you go. -What's this?
Take a look.
Hey, Yong-pil. I think I like you. What should I do?
Hey!
Gosh, it worked!
I did it!
Yes!
It worked!
Do you remember now?
You've kept this all these years?
Yes. So what?
I gave this to you as a scarf. What happened to it?
You unraveled it after we broke up, didn't you?
Of course, I unraveled it after we broke up.
If you don't like it, turn it back into a scarf for me.
But I forgot how to crochet.
What about gloves then?
That's even harder to make.
Dad, what are you doing here?
You…
I begged and pleaded.
I told you
I couldn't live without my son.
I begged you eight years ago.
So why did you come back?
Why did you come back?
How could I possibly bear to see you, Sam-dal?
How could I bear to see you with this grudge I have in my heart?
I can't live without Yong-pil.
I can't live without my son either.
Mr. Cho, please!
Sir, I--
Dad, what are you talking about?
You promised me.
Why come back and cause another rift between me and my son?
Why?
Hold on.
Dad, what are you talking about?
Please, just leave.
Go back to the mainland!
Dad!
WELCOME TO SAMDAL-RI
I don't want a one-sided love.
I did it for eight years. I can't do it anymore.
I can never overcome him.
Let's not talk about Yong-pil.
Can you hear me out instead?
I'm here to upset you.
I'm going to keep upsetting you, so that I can take care of you.
Dad, I know ever since the day Mom died,
you've never been able to move on.
Mother!
What are you doing here?
Where did she go today?
Sagyemul? Today?
Cho Sam-dal!
