My Father is Strange Ep.23 [ENGIND2017.05.27]

(Episode 23) Have you been doing well? Not really... You? Me, neither... Jeonghwan. I thought about it a lot.

But I just don't understand. Why do we have to break up? We love each other. Jeonghwan, you don't love me? I do love you. So? Why? Hyeyeong.

I'm too average to handle you. I just want to marry the woman I love and live happily ever after. I'm just an average, normal guy. So I can't handle you.

Oh, and... I thought about it, and I'm grateful that you got back together with me despite what happened eight years ago. And even though it was brief, being the man who knows most about Byeon Hyeyeong... It made me very happy.

Jeonghwan... And I'm sorry. For not... Being the kind of man who can handle you.

Father? Father, why are you out here? Did you have a good trip? Yes, we did. Why are you out here? I feel sorry... I just closed the snack bar to go home. Let's go.

Okay, father. Let me get our things. Grandmother, let us bow. Good.

You look nice. Father, mom, let us bow. Good. Sit down.

Okay. So, did you enjoy your trip? Yes, we did. Yuju was tired, so we didn't get around much. But we rested and ate well.

That's good. Being pregnant, working and planning the wedding must've been hard. So did you have nice dreams on your first night? No! We literally passed out, so we didn't dream. We closed and opened our eyes, and it was morning.

Mom, do you have anything to say? You want me to give another speech? After embarrassing me like that at the wedding? We were the ones who got embarrassed, grandmother. You told everyone about my studying and Yuju being pregnant. It's okay. People don't consider those things flaws these days.

Right. It was moving, though. I got you some presents. I made an effort.

I hope you like them. These are lotions for father and uncle. These are face creams for grandmother, mom, and aunt. And these are body lotions for you.

And this is body wash for Junghui. Thanks. Have a seat. How much longer will you keep this up? What do you mean? How much longer will you mope over your breakup and make us uncomfortable? Can't you see everyone is tiptoeing around you? Yuju moved in with us, and you want to advertise your breakup to her, too? What was the use of breaking up with him? Why can't you just get over it and move on? I didn't show it that much.

I'm trying my best not to show it to the family, so I won't bother anyone else. Okay. I got it. I'll be careful...

Dad. Can we sleep in this room tonight? You can if you want, but why? Hyeyeong is crying. What? She's crying? Oh, I can't believe that girl. I told her not to do that just now.

Leave her alone for a while. She can't control it. She's never done this before, and that's what breaks my heart. Even when she was in her 20s, she never cried over boys.

That's true. I've never seen her like that, either. Should I go see that guy? What for? To beg him to take Hyeyeong back? Mom, what she needs now is a new man, or for time to pass by quickly. Should I set her up on a blind date? I don't think you should, mom.

Right. I don't think you should, either. Let's give her time. Okay.

You can sleep in here with us tonight. Hi, girls. Sorry. Mother, I'm sorry.

I set my alarm for 5 a.M. But I didn't hear it. Being pregnant is really tiring. I'm sorry.

What should I do, mother? There's nothing, so go and get ready. No, I can do anything. Oh, you must get ready to go to work. Go and get washed up.

Yes, Yuju. You must go to work. The bathroom is free, so go. I'll help with breakfast instead of you, so go.

I'll go get ready for work, mother. Okay. Girls, wait, wait! I'm really sorry, but use the master bathroom. Yuju's not comfortable using that just yet.

Thanks, Junyeong. It's occupied. But it's my turn. Oh, Ms.

Kim... Let's eat. Thank you. Well, why don't we make a bathroom schedule, to make things go smoothly in the morning? The busiest people, Miyeong, Hyeyeong, and Yuju can each use the bathroom for 20 minutes from 6 to 7 a.M., And the rest can use the master bathroom or go to Uncle Yeongsik's apartment.

You're saying I can't use the big bathroom? I can't either? I'm saying try to avoid that hour. Use it after 7 a.M. We agreed to be understanding in the morning, unless it's unavoidable. Yes, Rayeong.

Let's do that. You don't always have to go to work early. Fine. Okay.

Yes, let's do that. Does anyone have a suggestion? Me. Someone used my bidet this morning. I don't know who it was, but do you want one on the other toilet, too? It wasn't me.

Did you use it? I didn't. I didn't. I didn't, either. We don't use the bidet.

I did... Oh, I'm not supposed to? It's just for me. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was just for you...

Well, you don't have to be sorry. It's okay to use your bidet. How can you embarrass her like this? I didn't say anything. I just asked if you'd like one for yourselves.

Let's get another bidet then. My kids don't use a bidet. Yuju uses it, so why don't we get one? Okay. Then...

I'll order one today. Wait, you work at the same place, so Junghui, Miyeong, and Yuju can all go to work together. Uh... We have something to do, so we have to make a stop on the way.

Right, Judo? Yes! This is delicious. You're going to the office? Yes, I'm going to check the script, and let's go to the action school afterward. Okay. Well, Mr.

An... - Thank you. / - For what? The Yuju thing. But you don't have to do that.

I don't want you and Ms. Kim to... It's not because of you. I really hate sharing my car with strangers.

Okay. Here we go! Well... Is there anything I can help you with? No. You're not going to work? Uh...

I, I should. I'm leaving. See you later. Okay.

Have, have a good day. Son, have a good day. What are you doing? Why don't you go with Minha? Uh... Well, I...

I don't have to go this early today. Why is that? Actually, I... Hey, I'm going to the bathhouse. Why are you still home? I was about to leave.

Oh, go to work. A man should be diligent above all. Even if there's nothing to do, you must go to work on time every day. Yes.

I'll see you later. - I'll be back. / - Bye. Oh...

Yeongsil, let's go to the bathhouse. Whoa! What happened here? Huh? Was there a whole brigade here? I know. Junghui coming didn't make much of a difference, but with Hyeyeong back, and now with Yuju, as the kids say, it's nuts. You dug your own grave.

It's not easy to have more people in the family. Just wait until the baby is born. Your life will be, as the kids say, game over. Don't keep scaring me like that.

You'll have to go to the bathhouse by yourself. I know. (Mom) (Recruitment for KBC Office in Vietnam) Wait... Where are you going now? Aren't you worried about Jeonghwan? Your son hasn't been home for days.

He won't even answer my calls anymore. Can you please go and see him? What is he thinking? How long will he keep this up? I'm getting ready to go and see him now. You are? Well, in case Jeonghwan doesn't answer your call, I'll give you the assistant director's number... It's okay.

I'm just going to go, and if he doesn't answer, I'll call you. (Application for Vietnam Office) (Applicant: Cha Jeonghwan) Hello, father. Hey... You look awful.

Have you been eating? Let's go somewhere and have coffee. I have a meeting. Just say it here. When are you going to come home? Your mom made a mistake, but if you do this, you'll only make her angrier.

You should come home and persuade your mom. Then you'll be able to marry that girl. There's no need for that now. I broke up with Hyeyeong.

You did? Yes. Hyeyeong said she couldn't marry me. She doubts she can handle mom as her mother-in-law. I couldn't change her mind.

So I can't come home. When I see mom... I get so angry. Yes, I know what you're saying.

And I understand. I do, but... I... I applied for a position in Vietnam.

I just submitted my application. What? I'm going to leave Korea for a while. I don't think that I can stay here like this. For me, it's...

Even breathing is painful for me, father. Hey, Jeonghwan. Keep it to yourself for now. I have to go.

Goodbye. Hey, hey... Jeonghwan! Honey. What did he say? Did you see Jeonghwan? It serves you right.

The son you dote on... You won't be able to see him for a while. What are you talking about? Jeonghwan is going to Vietnam. He broke up with that girl, and he can't stay here anymore.

So he applied for a position in Vietnam. He's going to Vietnam? He hates hot weather. He can't go to Vietnam. He said he's going! He's faking it.

He's putting on a show. What? He's been fooling me all this time. Both at the police station and at his apartment. He thinks if he does that, I'll tell him that he's forgiven and let him marry that girl.

Ha! Tell him to dream on. There's no way. Are you okay? I am. I cry a bit from time to time.

But if he doesn't want me, I don't want him. Why did he break up with me? It's not like I don't love him. I'm madly in love with him. Is marriage that important? Huh? There's no future or hope for us? Do you know what no future or hope means? It's walking into hellfire knowing that it's hellfire and giving in, letting yourself be devoured.

Why is everyone so hung up on marriage? Are you happy that you're married? Yes, marriage has more pros than cons. Marriage isn't just hellfire. You... You always badmouth your in-laws and husband to me.

Hey, I'm just venting to my friend. You saved your husband's name as "Hole." I say crazy things when I'm mad. Now it's a heart. Did you get a handbag or something? How did you know? He got me a Chanel bag for our wedding anniversary.

And raising a kid is fun, too. Kids are so adorable. Hey, raising your kid made your identity disappear. And running my own household is fun, too.

Was that why you majored in law in college? Why don't you get married as insurance? You're young, pretty, and talented now, but once all your friends are married, you'll be old and lonely. Don't worry. The divorce rate nowadays is so high. Some of my friends will be divorced, - so I can hang out with them.

/ - Still! Aren't you sad about breaking up with Jeonghwan? You think you can meet another man like him? Why don't you just marry him for now? Try it, and if it doesn't work out, you can divorce him. I handle many divorces each month. You think getting a divorce is easy? Divorce reveals one's darkest side, gnawing away at each other's soul. Eat.

Here's my wedding thank-you gift. Thank you. Thank you for coming to my wedding. - Congratulations on your wedding.

/ - Thank you. Have some rice cake. Did you enjoy your honeymoon? Yes, it was so nice. Have some rice cake.

Thank you. But I didn't know about you and the intern. Oh, I was going to tell you, but I didn't want to make Miyeong uncomfortable. How was your honeymoon? Since you're pregnant, you didn't go far, right? Right, we went to Jeju-do.

The Art Team must be in a panic. You'll be out of the office. Where can we find a new team leader? Why would you? When I'll be here? Did you ask for me, Mr. Kang? Hello.

Have a seat. This is my wedding thank you gift. Thank you. I heard at the wedding that you're pregnant.

Is that true? Yes, it is. Oh, it would've been nice if you had told me sooner. As you know already, we can't afford to lose someone here. And it takes a while to replace that person.

I won't cause any inconveniences. I'll work until my final month, and I'll only take 3 months of maternity leave. And depending on the situation, I could come back early. I understand how you feel.

But you know that our kind of work is too much for a pregnant woman. All those late hours and all-nighters. It's okay. I can handle it.

I'm sure you might be able to. But it'll burden those who work with you. They can't ask you to carry anything heavy. They can't ask you to stay late or work all night when they do it all the time.

So I was thinking that maybe we should try to figure something out. Mr. Kang, you're hurting my feelings here. You know I've poured my heart and soul into this company.

I do. And I also know you won't be able to anymore, because you're pregnant. Huh? How can he leave his lenses at home? Even if there are no customers... What if his boss gets angry at him? Out of business? Then where is he right now? It's me.

Where are you? What do you mean? I'm at work. Really? Did you have lunch? Yes. You should have lunch, too. I have a customer now, so I have to go.

Uh, bye... I feel lost. That's because you're sitting there like that. Honey...

You left this at home. I thought you might need it, so I brought it. How did you know I was here? What don't I know about you? I know everything. I'm sorry.

Your hand. Hand... Let's go. Get your things.

- Where? / - You'll see. Get your things. Whoa, what's all that? Ta-da. We're not throwing a party.

Did you win the lottery? No, I didn't. This is Yeongsik's resignation party, mother. We should have a feast on a day like this. So I got some money out of my savings account.

Um, resignation? You got fired? Yes. No, he didn't get fired. The photo studio went out of business, mother. They went out of business? Whoa, I knew things were bad, and they finally closed down.

Hey, it's actually better this way. Now you can get a more stable job before it's too late. They only paid you half your wages. Yes, so I told him this is for the best.

Eat up, honey. Thank you for working so hard to earn money. Grandmother, you should eat up, too. You've lost weight these days.

You eat up, too. Son, eat up. Thank you. Eat.

Junghui, let's try this together. Okay. - Where should I stand? / - Over here. A little more.

Junghui, bend down more, dig in deeper, and grab the arm really firmly. Firmly! Yes, I got it. - Let's try that again. / - Okay.

Action! Action... You're supposed to go low. Let's wrap up for today. If you try too hard, you'll get hurt.

Let me practice a bit more by myself. Okay. Go ahead. What is it? Say what you want.

When you take your steps, you have to bend over deep and push your bottom backward to make the opponent lose his balance. I know how it's done. It's just that my body won't do what I want. Hey, you did judo.

- Come here. Come. / - Okay. So how do you do it? Show me.

Well... First of all... What? May I retie the belt on your uniform? You could get hurt if it's tied wrong. Sure.

All finished. Hey, you... You're good at this. Shall we try it again? But will this be okay? Your weight...

It's... You're much lighter than I am. You can just tell me instead. Did you just laugh at me? You don't have to worry about me.

Here I come. Try it. Go ahead! Lower your center of gravity, push with your back... Are you okay? Don't come any closer! I'm getting into character.

Oh, so this is how it feels. So I should... I'm getting it right now. Don't worry.

I'm getting into character. Okay. I think I got it. I know now.

Hey, water. Water. Okay. Water! So you got dumped? Wow, Ms.

Byeon is so interesting. She said she liked my outer shell. What did you say to get rejected when you look like that? What did you say? "I like you." Whoa, hey. That's pretty sweet.

And? She said, "Okay." "Okay"? That was all? I think I really did get rejected. I know. Why won't she call? It can't be easy to reject Park Cheolsu. I'm going to ask her.

Ask what? Hi, this is Park Cheolsu. What does "Okay" mean? I thought about it, and I couldn't figure it out. Does it mean "Okay, but I don't like you," or "Okay, that's great"? If it's "Okay," why won't you say anything? I said that... I like you.

So it's real. Incredible. Coach Park must really like me. It's real! What should I wear tomorrow? What? Should I do a facial before I go to bed? It's real! Yeah! You're home.

Did you get hurt? No, I'm fine. Don't worry. It looks like you hurt your back. It's okay.

I'm going upstairs. He practiced an action sequence, and he pulled some muscles. Really? He'll need a massage. I'll bring him a heat pack and pain relief patch.

Okay. Thank you. Sure. Darn it.

She's so tiny. How humiliating. No, she used to be a professional athlete. She was trained.

She trained really hard. I... If I had training, I'd be much better. Yes? Ouch, wait...

Oh? You can't move suddenly like that. Wait... Lie down, Mr. An.

This is a heat pack. Keep it on here. If you use it for a few days, it'll get better. I said I'm okay.

Don't overreact. Put this pain relief patch on after the heat pack. Okay. I'll do it later.

You can go. Okay. What? Why aren't you leaving? Why sit down? Mr. An.

Why do you keep avoiding dad? Do you hate him? No. I don't really think about him. But you look like you're avoiding him. I've been watching you and dad, and when everyone is together, you're fine, but when it's just you two, it gets very awkward.

Isn't it natural to be awkward? We just started living together. But still... You won't meet his eyes, and you won't talk to him. It's as if you're angry at him.

You've crossed the line. I'm sorry. Yes, I do feel that way. He looked happy on Junyeong's wedding day.

Your family looked so happy together. When that happens, I think I get angry. Have you been happy with your family for the past 35 years? That was why you never thought about me? I keep thinking like that. Sometimes I get even more upset.

Um... When I see him smile, I feel a surge of anger. Out of nowhere. Just because I'm smiling silly, does he think I'm a silly person? Does he? I mean, now that we live together, does he think he's made everything up to me? How can he smile like that? In front of me? His worrying about me like earlier...

That honestly annoys me, too. I mean, why... Why is he pretending to worry? He should've done it a long time ago. You don't want to hear it? Me badmouthing your dad? So why did you ask me? No, I don't hate hearing it.

If I were you, I'd hate my dad, too. I probably would've hated him even more. I would've never considered moving in with him like this. So Mr.

An, just tell him everything. Don't keep it bottled up inside. Like how you told me just now, just tell him everything. Tell him that you hate him or blame him.

Ask him how he could do this to you. Scream at him and blame him. Take it all out on him. Didn't you come here to do that? Only then can you forgive him or find out you can't forgive him, and never see him again.

Dad wants to get to know you better, but you've built walls around yourself, and you won't do anything. You didn't move in here to do that, did you? Did I cross the line again? It's okay. You should go. Okay.

You're leaving now? Miyeong went to bring the van around. How's your back? It's better. Well... Would you like to have a drink with me tonight? I think I'll be home around 9 p.M.

Do you have time then? I'd love to. Okay. I'll fix some food. Oh, and this is a banana smoothie.

I made it because you didn't want breakfast. I'll see you later. Yes, of course. Night shift is okay.

Short-term sales? That'd be great. Yes. Call me anytime. You're getting a part-time job? Yes.

Hansu isn't calling me much, so I thought I should. Here. What's this, mother? Use it for the family. Though it's not much.

What do you mean? Thank you, mother. Thank you for being nice to Yeongsik and not blaming him. He's your son, but he's also my husband. Good days will come in the future.

Right. He's a flower, but he needs time to bloom. Still, he'll definitely bloom one day. Yes, mother.

Let's go. - Junghui. / - Yes? I don't think we can begin our lesson right now. Why not? I came on time.

Actually... Mr. Jin Seongjun had to switch his lesson due to another engagement. Your times kind of overlapped.

I'm sorry. It's just today. Please wait a bit in the waiting room. Sure.

- Let's go. / - Okay. Is my schedule a mess? No, it's not. But I need to sort some things out.

Oh, I need something sweet. Something sweet? I don't have anything. Hey, why not play a game, and the loser buys snacks? Should we? I think I need something sweet, too. Okay.

It's two out of three. Okay. One, two, three. One, two, three.

I didn't fall over. Again. This one is for real. I won't go easy on you.

Here I come. You got something on your shirt. Hello. Yes! I won the first round! Hey! What's the next game? I should let you choose, right? Let me choose? Hey, you come with me.

Okay, okay. Did you see that? Your coin must go past mine, but it can't fall off the table. Okay? Try it. Here we go.

Oh, yes! Two wins! Wait! Wait, wait! That was invalid. It's a tie. Do you know why? I didn't say you could hit my coin out. Okay? So it's a tie.

But you didn't say I couldn't. Right. You're smart. Still, this is invalid! It's not fair! Then let me choose the next game.

What is it? Thumb wrestling. What's that? What is that? If I hold your thumb down for 3 seconds, you lose. Why are you suddenly holding my hand? The next thing on my schedule is, go! Wait. Hey, wait! Three, two, one.

Over! I won! Wow, how petty of you! Are you okay? Junghui, let's do this. Oh! I should go and exercise. You stay here and rest. Mr.

An, wow... Vietnam? You think I'll fall for that trick? The number you have dialed is not in service. What's this? Did I dial the wrong number? No, I didn't. This is my son's number.

The number you have dialed is not in service. It's not in service? What's going on? Hello, mother. Hi, Jongbeom. Why does it say that Jeonghwan's number is not in service? Where is Jeonghwan right now? He transferred his files and went on vacation.

Even we don't have his phone number. Vacation? When? He applied for the Vietnam position, transferred his files, and left just like that. We thought you knew about it. Wait...

So he really applied for a position in Vietnam? Yes. I heard he's leaving Korea next month. Honey, where have you been? Have you tried calling Jeonghwan? Why does it say his number's not in service? Honey, what will we do? Jeonghwan applying for a position in Vietnam was the truth. He handed his files over and went on vacation.

What? So he changed his number on purpose? I think so. He's been gone for 3 days now. I mean, how can he do this to us? You have to ask? Don't you know who brought this on? Still, how can he change his phone number and disappear like this? What kind of son does this to his parents? Oh, Jeonghwan? Is that you? Ms. Oh, this is the real estate agency.

The apartment was sold, so I need your account number. Hello? What are you talking about? Why sell the apartment? Who sold it? Your son did, and it was sold. Your son told me to wire the money to your account. What? Okay.

Well, I will call you back. What was that about? Honey... Jeonghwan... He must be serious about never seeing us again.

He sold his apartment. What? What will we do, honey? What will we do? Where are we going to find him? Good for you! You made our only son turn his back on us! I hope you're happy! Why are you blaming me? What did I ever do wrong? Hi, I was wondering if he called. He hasn't? Okay. If he calls, please let me know.

Okay. Bye. He hasn't called Eungyu. He hasn't? Oh, where did he go? It's been 3 days already.

You don't think anything bad happened, do you? I'm sure nothing happened. If it did, we would've been contacted. I can't believe him. Wait.

Just in case, should I call Hyeonsu? There was an accident this afternoon. An SUV and a sedan crashed head-on in Seongnam, resulting in a fire. A man in his 30s driving a dark gray SUV. Was taken to Seongsu Hospital in Bundang for treatment, but he is in critical condition.

Oh, honey. Honey. That SUV, that one. Isn't that Jeonghwan's SUV? That dark gray SUV, it's like Jeonghwan's SUV! Oh, honey! That man! He looks like Jeonghwan...

Oh, no! That must be Jeonghwan! What will we do? Oh, no! Honey! Wait, where was it? Which hospital? Bundang? Where in Bundang... Seongsu Hospital? Excuse me. Can I ask you something? We saw the news. Where's the car accident victim from an hour ago? - In there.

/ - In there? Jeonghwan? It's not him. It's not. Pull yourself together. Pull yourself together! Honey...

Honey, find Jeonghwan for me. - I can't do this anymore. / - Hang in there. Please find Jeonghwan for me.

Hang in there. Okay. Let's start with your eye makeup. Oh, where did you get your looks, Hyeyeong? Stay still.

It's not working. Quit crying. He said he couldn't handle you! You go up. I'm having a drink with father.

- Go. / - Okay. Off you go! You're here. I got the drinks.

What? I got some, too. Shall we drink that? Sit down. It's finished. Did you have dinner? Of course.

It's late. I figured, so I only made a few snacks. What would you like? Beer or soju? Soju. I like soju, too.

Here. Allow me. Cheers. Is the filming going well? Yes...

I guess. You're a better drinker than I expected. Have some snacks, too. Do you like to drink? You looked happy on Junyeong's wedding day.

You never thought about me because you had 4 children and were busy being happy with them? Because you were busy playing the role of the best father in the world? Why didn't you come to see me? I asked why you didn't come to see me. You weren't even curious about me? When you divorced my mom, you knew she was carrying me. Coming back to Korea, having 4 children, and living your own life... Does that make the son born in America disappear into thin air? What that son looks like...

How old he is... Whether he misses his father... You were never concerned about that? Why didn't you come to see me? At first I felt sorry for you. How poor do you have to be to be kicked out without ever meeting your son? I heard that you refused to divorce my mom.

It must have been so humiliating. So I thought you would come someday. Even if you hated my mom, you couldn't hate me. "Maybe he'll come on my next birthday." "I'm sure he'll come to my junior high graduation." "He'll come to my high school graduation." Isn't that what a father must do? Every birthday and every Christmas, do you know how much I waited for you? Do you know what it's like to live with an American stepfather? Do you know how hard I tried not to get into trouble? I thought that way, you'd come and see me.

I thought I had to be a good boy. I'm sorry... I'm sorry. It was my fault.

It was all my fault. Stop it. Who wants to hear that? You have no right to say that. I was never going to come and see you.

So even after I came to Korea, I didn't search for you for over 10 years. I... I'd rather die than see my biological father, no matter what happened. I was never going to see you.

Why are you crying? How dare you cry in front of me? You don't deserve to cry. So... Be a father for me now. You have to make up for everything.

Cook me a hangover meal for breakfast tomorrow. I eat tomato sauce pasta and vanilla ice cream. Wake me up every morning. See me off when I go to work.

When I come home, don't go to bed first, and wait up for me. Call me at least once a day. Text me and take me to baseball games. And play catch...

And go camping. Ever since I was a boy... Everything I ever wanted to do... I'm going to make you do every single thing.

Careful. Watch the steps. Careful. Careful.

Who is it? Who is it? I want to show you this and come clean. Your father didn't abandon you. You're a little closer now? That was great. My actor is awesome! How could you do that? Excuse me? I'm asking why you laughed like that.

Do you really like me? Yes. Perfect. I'm sorry... Please find my son for me.

Where is he? I know!.
