Those who love learn to become like each other.
So as children grow...
From their looks to personalities and expressions,
they learn to resemble their parents.
Fathers only want their children to resemble
the good things.
They worry that they'll resemble
the bad as well.
Some find their childhood memories
in the children that look just like them.
They really look alike.
Others find heart-moving emotions
from the children that want to be like them.
He trusts his father.
Some find their children fascinating
for being so similar to them.
There isn't much time left till mom returns.
What fond memories will the fathers make
with their lovable children?
48 hours without mommy or wife.
A warm story between father and children.
The Return of Superman. Episode 3.
"I Can't Live Without You."
The Choovely family are in Osaka, Japan.
They're going to the most special place today.
- We're here. / - Sarang.
This is the judo dojo.
Sarang's dad practiced judo here when he was little.
I first learned judo here.
Do you understand?
- Let's go in. / - Is this 40 years old?
I'm going to visit my first judo dojo in Osaka.
I'll take Sarang and do judo with my dad.
I want to see it!
Judo uniform.
This is where Choo Sunghoon's family history rests.
His father was a judo master
and taught Sunghoon and his sister judo here.
You could say it's the place where
the fighter of the century, Choo Sunghoon, was born.
Wait a minute.
Wait.
Wait a minute...
Grandpa wants to teach Sarang judo here.
Will Sarang actually enjoy judo?
It's hot.
Put your arm in here.
Was it when she was 1?
Yeah.
- It was long. / - It was very long.
Wow.
You don't have to do judo in the future.
No! You must.
Wow...
Come here.
Come here, Sarang. Look!
Sarang.
Over here...
Okay.
Don't cry.
Daddy.
Here's your dad's photo. Where's daddy?
Where's daddy?
Where's daddy?
Here's the photo.
What is it?
There's a photo of daddy.
Is it here?
Daddy...
Here's daddy.
Let's find dad's photo.
Where's dad's photo?
Where is he? Oh!
Here he is.
Here's daddy.
Why are you crying?
No, no.
She's scared.
Come here.
1, 2, 3.
You win.
You won.
Sarang won.
Here, try this.
- Here. / - So cute.
Sarang.
Sarang, come here.
Come here.
Sarang seems to be crying
because she's unfamiliar with this environment.
Grandpa was hoping to have fun.
He really seems to be in regret.
It's hard to have things your way with kids.
She wants to go outside.
Oh, really?
We need to train though.
I won't bring you again even if you want to.
Got that?
I first learned judo there.
With my father.
Just taking photos there would be memorable for her.
And for my dad.
The trains kept passing by above.
So maybe that's why she was scared.
I don't know the exact reason.
I'm 100% certain she didn't cry
because she doesn't like sports.
- Will you take her again? / - Of course.
- To make her do sports? / - Yes, swimming next.
- Swimming? / - Yes. We still have swimming.
Different to her father's wish,
Sarang still loves to play.
While Sarang is playing with grandma,
Sunghoon heads somewhere to
cheer up his father.
I'll scrub your back. Turn around.
The son realizes his father's love
only after raising his own kid.
They scrub each other's back without a word
and have a bonding session between
father and son.
Thank you.
The father's disappointment washes away
with a bath with his son.
I want to hug mom.
Hurry up and let me hug you.
She wants you to let her hug you.
The daughter with a big heart
that moved her parents, Haru.
She said she wanted to hug her mom.
I've always felt this...
But it felt like the emotions that
couldn't be expressed were being delivered.
I really had mixed feelings.
You've gone quiet after talking to mom.
Maybe I shouldn't have shown mom to you.
Do you miss mom a lot?
Where's this, Haru?
Do you remember this?
Honey, Haru's sleeping well.
Work hard. Goodnight.
Mom's been apart for the first time.
So it was harder to take on this challenge.
It's a night they all miss mom.
Will she be able to handle the last night well?
Haru, draw dad.
Draw me and mom.
Is that my eyes?
Dad's mouth. Dad's nose. Dad's feet.
Dad's legs. Dad's feet.
Is this me?
That's mom.
Is this mom?
This is mom and dad?
Does my face look like this?
Really?
- Mom... / - Dad's a monster.
What's with mom's face?
Mom looks like a cucumber.
Want me to draw you?
Huh?
Want me to draw you?
Oh, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Who hurt your head?
- Floor. / - The floor?
Let's smack the floor. Should I smack the floor?
Let's scold the floor.
You shouldn't do that, floor.
I'll draw Haru.
Haru's nose.
Haru's mouth.
Haru's ears.
This is Haru.
What are you doing?
Did you take sugar without me knowing?
What are you doing?
I don't know where she gets her energy from.
It was nothing today.
I think she's overpowering.
My body hurts playing with Haru.
What are you up to?
I'm going to do this again.
Let me do this again.
For me?
Do this.
Are you the doctor, Haru?
Is that what the doctor said?
Oh, dear.
- Do this every 6 hours. / - This hurts a little.
Okay, I've taken it off.
- Like this. / - How?
So I go like this.
Shake it like this.
Like this?
- This is what you do... / - Wait...
Show me with this arm.
Here.
Like this.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Oh, okay.
Like this?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...
11, 12, 13, 14, 15...
And like so.
I can't do that right now.
Watch me.
The doctor said to do this...
What is that, Haru?
Is that magic?
Haru, I'm going to put this back on.
Haru, can you help me?
Dad, I'm finished.
Let me do it.
That's it!
Oh, my daughter. You're so good.
Wow!
Thank you, Haru.
High five!
1, 2, 3!
- Fist bump. / - Bump.
This time, it's the twins that grow taller day by day.
Hwijae is visiting where mom
often goes with the twins.
Where could it be that he's getting so well-prepared?
Let's go to the culture center.
It's tiring to be out this early.
Hello, how many months?
My baby? 1 year now.
He's all grown up now.
All grown up.
You only have one child, right?
- Yes, one. / - That's nothing.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Sons are every father's dream.
If sons are every father's dream...
This place is every mother's dream.
You can help children grow
through games with moms.
And you can meet mothers raising kids similar
in age to yours to share childcare information.
But Hwijae is surprised by this new world.
Will he be able to complete today's lesson?
Welcome.
This isn't easy.
Seoeon, this isn't easy. We're in trouble.
Hey, I didn't know it was like this.
Why did your mom sign up for this?
Hey!
Hello, my friend.
Hello, my friend.
Hello, hello, hello.
It's good to see you today.
Stretch their arms.
Jump!
Raise both legs.
Can we fly to the sky again?
Please keep working.
Let's go Seoeon and Seojun.
This is what I thought.
It's a culture center with a good purpose but...
It's a place that can drain all of your energy
in a very short amount of time.
In just 27 minutes...
It was like running full speed for 27 minutes.
All my energy was depleted.
It's so hard for Hwijae who's a man.
How did his wife do this alone?
I'll make sure to come with my wife.
She can't do this alone.
Dad has no time to even sit down back at home.
Let's check what's left from mom's to-do list.
Let's see it.
We've made and eaten our baby food.
We've changed the batteries.
Installing the safety cushions. What could this be?
When you guys crawl around...
It must be to make all the dangerous areas safe.
Take a look at this.
Here, crawl.
That's it. Keep going.
Yes, keep going.
I'll look from your perspective.
Is that dangerous?
Where are you going?
Oh, the TV stand...
Where else are you going? Let me follow you.
I know that it's dangerous under the TV now.
Are you happy now?
After crying so much yesterday?
This way?
What's dangerous this way?
This is dangerous too.
Where are you going?
Huh?
You crawl better than I thought.
Yes, Seojun?
Do you want to come out?
Out?
Out?
Oh, you want to come out?
Hey, where are you going?
Seojun.
Since you're crawling around now...
I'm going to cover up the dangerous spots
like all the corners.
I'll do that now.
Hey...
I can't carry you right now.
Can you sit on the sofa?
Why do you keep making me
handle you with my feet?
Oh, you're so strong.
Let's sleep now.
Sleep!
Let's sleep now.
So that I can install the safety cushions...
Can't you sleep for 20 minutes?
It was really hard. But it felt really strange...
When they kept crawling to me as they cried...
Wow.
It's tough.
But you realize you can never give up.
I promised myself once again.
It's twice as hard, but they make him twice as happy.
Hwijae is slowly learning the joy of raising twins.
But it looks like he won't have any time
to install the safety cushions.
Guys!
You guys.
Make sure you give birth to twin sons.
Got that?
Make sure.
And you try raise them!
Hang in there, Hwijae.
It may be hard now but you'll be proud
when they're old.
Here's a dad whose sons are all grown up
that they help him out.
Junseo, do you know what a wedding anniversary is?
The day you and mom got married.
That's right.
It's the day you celebrate the day you got married.
So you and mom get married again?
No, no. Just like your birthday.
You know how mom and dad congratulate you?
Soon it'll be an anniversary like that.
So...
Should we cut out papers and write a letter?
Oh... If you really think that,
to mom...
I farted.
You did, didn't you?
Oh, geez.
It went straight to my nose.
What kind of gift could we give?
Should we write up coupons?
Coupons?
- Yeah. / - Well...
Is there anything else?
Nose?
Nostrils?
You want to give mom nostrils for her present?
How about Junseo's fart?
Should we collect your farts in a plastic bag?
And give them to mom as her gift?
"Congratulations." Like that?
While the boys prepare mom's gift,
dad prepares dinner.
Congratulations.
How do I write that?
Congratulations.
- Junu. / - Yeah.
Curry tastes good with lots of potatoes, right?
You're making curry?
Yeah!
- Junseo. / - Yeah?
Dad's making curry.
Yay!
- Sounds good? / - Yeah.
Will it taste different to mom's again?
I guess it can't be helped.
I prefer it to taste different.
Really?
Okay. You can look forward to it.
Dad!
Can we play the little Jenga?
Huh?
Have you finished that?
Yes!
- Really? Already? / - Yes!
Show me.
Ta-da.
Ta-da.
"Congratulations on your wedding anniversary?"
That's great.
Don't you have any other gift?
No.
- You don't? / - No.
This is all I have.
So you are decided to go with that?
The kids have almost finished with mom's gift.
But dad hasn't even finished cutting the ingredients.
You can tell he isn't very good at this.
Will they be able to eat curry today?
It'd be so much easier with a peeler.
How frustrating.
Peeler?
A peeler just for potatoes?
You can't cut anything else?
It's for vegetables that need peeling.
- Carrots too? / - Of course.
That was really tough work.
Hold on a second!
He's a wreck.
Hey, go over there.
Goodness.
Dad is a troublemaker.
Want help?
What?
It's okay.
Oh!
There's one thing you can help with.
What?
- Will you help? / - Yeah.
Mom wanted these sneakers washed.
Yes.
But I don't think I'll have time for this.
Okay.
I'd be really thankful if you could do this for me.
Okay.
Really?
- Yeah. / - Since I'm done here.
You're the best!
Jang Junu!
You're the best!
While the reliable eldest Junu helps his dad...
Sarang in Osaka is doing her duty in another way.
Mickey Mouse!
Mickey!
Mickey Mouse!
Sit over here.
Here.
Sit down.
Sit here.
Help me.
Come here. Come on.
Run away to me. Hurry.
Hurry.
- Stand up. / - Jump!
Okay!
This?
Papa, look.
Wow!
Pull!
Sarang finally met her grandpa again
after one and a half years.
He was really sad at first because his granddaughter
was so shy around him.
But now, Sarang's opened up to him
because of his genuine love for her.
She seems to like being in grandpa's arms even more.
Sarang will always remember...
That they were each other's 1st.
I feel so happy.
She'd never hug me.
She'd never come to me so I couldn't hold her.
She'd just cry.
So I was surprised.
Grandma! Look!
Grandma!
Look at her!
Wow!
Look at me.
Sit here.
- Papa. / - Kyoro.
Daddy's gone to walk with Kyoro.
He went to walk Kyoro.
What will you do?
Let's go to daddy.
Hold me.
Come here.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
- Papa! / - Want to go to daddy?
Should we?
Where's daddy?
- Let's go. / - Okay, let's go.
Let's go find your daddy.
Let's go.
Papa.
Where is papa?
Where is papa?
Daddy!
Kyoro?
He's not here.
Not here.
Who is that?
It's papa!
And Kyoro?
There's papa.
Papa!
Daddy's there.
Did she cry?
She didn't.
It's time for bed. Why is she out again?
Come here.
Here you are.
- Kiss. / - You found him.
I found him.
You did. Let's go.
Let's go.
You found me.
You came to look for me?
You could just play there.
- You found him. / - Let's go.
You don't think of mom when you're with me, right?
Right?
It's so fun that you don't miss mom, right?
Sarang forgets about her mom for a short while...
Junu thinks of his mom more than any other time.
But he works hard to help out his dad.
Is dad's curry ready yet?
Who could that be?
I've come to check your gas.
Must you do it now?
- Oh, yes... / - Hello.
I came last time but you weren't home.
Oh, I see.
- I'll just check the boiler room. / - Okay then.
You must be busy with work.
Oh, yes.
Wow, you're cooking.
- I'll just scan the bar code. / - Okay.
- When you stir-fry potatoes... / - Yes?
You have to be able to eat it straight from here, right?
Yes, you need to cook it thoroughly.
I'd better cook it longer. Okay then.
Is it hard?
It's a little hard.
This won't do, right? I need to cook it more?
Yes, a little more.
You should lower the heat because it could burn.
I see.
Put it on the lowest heat and cook thoroughly.
- Weakest? / - Yes.
- Yes... / - Thank you.
- Thank you. / - It was an honor.
- Bye. / - Goodbye.
Dad!
Yeah?
I'm hungry. What's taking so long?
It's all ready now.
Will it taste different to mom's again?
It'll probably be a little different.
My hands are paralyzed.
I know what you mean.
Okay, sit down.
Sit in your seats.
This curry sauce...
Why is it so watery?
Huh?
Why is the sauce so watery?
This is just the way this curry is.
It's watery curry.
- Watery curry? / - Yeah.
Well, the thing is...
It's not Indian curry.
It's from Zimbabwe, Guatemala...
It's a famous curry from there.
Watery...
The characteristic of this watery curry...
You don't have to mix it with the rice.
- Really? / - Yeah.
Look!
But I already mixed it.
It's hard to mix regular curry, right?
Yeah.
But with this watery curry...
You don't have to mix much.
See? It just mixes itself, right?
It's tasty.
Eat up.
It looks good, right?
Yes!
It was a little suspicious.
But it was still tasty.
Do you think you're better at cooking or mom is?
Of course mom's better.
You even put mushrooms in here.
Yeah.
Mushrooms are very nutritious for you.
- With beef... / - Beef.
Onions.
You added onions?
Of course. Carrots...
The carrots that rabbits eat?
That's right.
Do you want more curry, Junseo?
Add a little more sauce.
After a late dinner,
it's pitch black outside.
You're tired, aren't you?
- Huh? / - You're tired, right?
Is it okay to lie down on the floor?
It's okay.
Oh, that feels good.
Junseo, that feels so good.
That feels so good.
Geez...
Hold on!
For Hyeonseong, it was a really tough day
without his wife at home.
Meanwhile, the Choovely family look peaceful.
Let's do the baby massage.
Stretch your legs.
Oh, Sarang...
Let's do our baby massage.
Should we start with your head?
Yes, okay.
So you grow up smart.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Here too.
Let's massage your legs.
Sarang.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3.
You need long legs to be popular with men.
1, 2. 3, 4.
Now your feet.
1, 2, 3, 4.
And the toes.
Toes!
This side.
When we first had the baby...
I thought about what it was I could do.
Since I know that I can't take care of Sarang
as good as my wife...
I heard there was a baby massage.
So I thought it'd be good to try if I could.
I learned there and got certified.
After you get your certificate,
you'll know why they smile and why they're stressed.
You'll be able to understand them.
I strongly recommend it to Korean daddies.
Oh, I'm hot.
Grandpa!
Father?
Grandpa.
Father?
Grandpa!
Father...
Grandpa came.
Grandpa.
You have to have your massage.
What?
- Okay, a little later. / - Later?
Sarang has to sleep first.
Sunghoon's father runs a bonesetter's office in Osaka.
He's inspecting his son's body today.
Where does it hurt?
Your waist?
Yes!
Got it.
Sarang.
How does it feel to have a kid?
- How do you feel now? / - It's great.
It's great?
Yes, it's great.
- Are you happy? / - Yes.
Really?
You're happy?
Your dad is happy...
You'll get in trouble with grandma.
Don't wreck the house.
This house is old!
- This house is old. / - No, no!
Sarang, you earn money and fix this.
Got it?
Grandma will scold you.
Don't.
No!
Why are you hitting him?
You should pat daddy. That's it.
Here, do this.
Oh...
Hey!
He says it hurts.
Are you planning to have another child?
No, not yet.
- Really? / - Yes.
- It's enough with Sarang, right? / - Yes!
I see.
You should raise her well.
Thank you!
Okay.
Since my son does sports like that...
I wanted to help if he ever injured himself.
That's why I started it up.
And when I massaged Sunghoon today,
his muscles were so firm.
To the point it hurt my hands.
I think he's fine.
Thank you, father.
Okay.
Let's sleep.
- Goodnight. / - Bye.
Tag!
Thank you.
I'll turn it off.
I love you, Sarang.
Meanwhile...
Hwijae and the twins can't fall asleep
because they long for mom.
Lee Seojun.
Whose son are you?
Lee Seoeon.
Lee Seoeon.
Are you charging forward again?
Geez.
I know you're my sons...
But one thing you should never forget is
that your mom's sons.
Don't forget that.
Mom misses you guys so much
that she went to watch a movie.
Funny, right?
Seoeon, but still...
Mom takes care of you guys every day.
That's why you're growing so well.
I only... Hey! You've been looking for this?
No, this is Seojun's.
Do you have a radar on you or something?
A milk radar.
Seoeon, want to read a book?
This is mom and dad's book.
Look at this!
It's really thick.
Look how thick it is.
Check this out. Wow!
Come here.
Take a look.
Who is this?
Daddy and mommy.
That's daddy and mommy.
Take a good look.
It's dad and mom's history.
Ta-da.
That's dad. And mom.
Wow! We were young then.
Isn't mom pretty?
It's all makeup.
That's mom!
Wow. She was so pretty then.
Wow!
That's her dress.
Look, it's mom.
Mom!
Here's mom.
That's mom, right?
They recognize her.
Oh, my.
It's mom.
Mommy.
Oh, my!
Goodness.
They recognize her now.
They know.
Goodness. They know.
This is amazing.
Wow.
Mun Jeongwon must feel proud.
They're staring at her.
Mom!
Seojun, it's mom.
This is mom.
He's kissing mom.
Did you kiss mommy?
You kissed mommy.
Mom!
Mom!
Oh, my.
You boys are so funny.
I was so surprised.
It wasn't a life-size photo.
I'm not sure if they were really kissing her,
but they'd put their lips on her.
It really moved me.
I almost cried again.
Seojun, let's drink milk.
Seojun, you drink the rest of your milk.
Seojun, you miss mom, right?
I miss her more than you do.
Do you think you miss her as much as I do?
Oh, dear.
Seojun...
Do you know how mommy and daddy met?
You don't know, right?
You want to know, right?
We met at a fancy restaurant.
And mommy was there first waiting for me.
Then I went...
And just fell head over heels for her.
So I bothered her like crazy to meet up.
It was love at first sight.
Totally.
She was wearing a white blouse...
She was sitting down.
I can say this now.
I was really shocked.
She was like a princess.
I was really surprised.
Without Hyejeong, I probably would have died.
That's what I think.
So she's like my life jacket.
That's what she is to me.
When you propose, you honestly make that promise.
That you'll never make her cry.
And you'll never hurt her.
Then right from the moment we got married
and she got pregnant...
So many things have happened.
And what did she do wrong to
have to share that fate with me?
Want to ride the plane?
Get on the plane.
Here we go.
Where should we go on the plane?
Hotel.
Hotel?
Want to go to the hotel?
Yes.
You need to brush your hair nicely
to go to the hotel.
I hear there will be handsome people there.
Haru, do you want to dress up too?
Haru! We need to land, so sit up.
Sit up.
Hold on to your pillow.
We're going to land.
We'll be landing soon.
We've arrived. You can get off now.
You need to put this on when you get off.
Now, let's take this pillow to the hotel.
Haru, let's sleep and meet mom in the morning.
Okay.
What will you tell her first?
I'm going to tell on you.
You're going to tell on me?
- Me? / - Yes.
Wait...
You'll tell on me as soon as you see her?
I'll say you lied to me.
When did I?
What do you mean? When?
Mom will be here after two sleeps.
Why did you say mom would be here then?
Tell mom you love her.
Okay.
And give her a big hug
since you missed her a lot.
Should we sleep now?
- Yeah. / - Okay.
Haru falls asleep at the thought of her mom.
But she wasn't the only one who missed mom.
Meanwhile, this family is yet to sleep.
Geez. Just a minute, Seojun.
Seojun...
Seojun.
Twinkle, twinkle little star...
Seojun wonders what you are...
Twinkle, twinkle little star...
Twinkle, twinkle little star...
It can't be helped.
I'd better put one of you to bed.
When he puts one to bed, the other wakes up.
It's not working out like he planned.
He has no choice but to put them both to sleep.
Twinkle, twinkle little star...
With dad's lullaby,
the night deepens even more.
It's almost dawn but the twins still aren't asleep.
Hwijae is worried because it feels like
they're having a harder time trying to sleep tonight.
- Honey. / - Yes!
- Are the babies awake? / - Yes!
- Both? / - Yes!
They can be like that at times.
No... It's different to those times.
What's it like then?
They haven't even slept 2 hours. Maybe 2.5.
There are many times when they barely sleep 2 hours.
They barely sleep 2 hours at times.
I just told you they slept well.
Okay...
There are times when they barely sleep 2 hours.
I can't open my eyes and Seoeon would be
crawling around at night.
And Seojun would be rolling around the floor.
It takes ages to make them fall asleep
and when you doze, they wake up again.
At around 4 a.m., they sleep for an hour.
That happens from time to time.
So don't get stressed out by that.
You must be tired. I'll be there soon.
Okay.
I didn't know that was normal.
I was so shocked when she said it was normal.
I thought she'd wake up once or twice,
tell the babies to sleep and they would.
And then I thought she'd sleep 6 to 7 hours.
What are you doing?
I'm going to make you breakfast.
It is tasty though.
Mun Jeongwon's restaurant.
For dad, it was like a war of 48 hours.
But he had no idea...
For his wife, this war is her daily life.
The unbearable thing for Hwijae wasn't
being with his sons for 48 hours.
It was being without his wife for 48 hours.
Finally, his loving wife is back.
Come here.
Seojun.
He's indifferent.
He likes it. He's grabbing me.
He's sleeping already.
Lee Seoeon.
He just smiled.
- Honey! / - Yeah?
What shoes did you wear?
Shoes?
Did you wear heels?
No, loafers.
- Loafers... / - Why do you ask?
Why?
High heels are bad for you.
I've hardly worn heels after having the kids.
They're bad for you.
Okay...
This is Seoeon's.
What is that?
A junior of mine...
Gave it to Seoeon.
Are they shoes?
What is this?
What? I don't know.
Are they mine?
What?
Are they for me?
Well...
I bought them for you.
Really?
Are they functional shoes?
No.
They are designer shoes!
But they don't fit.
They're 225mm.
They don't fit. I wear 245mm.
Oh...
Which woman wears 225mm?
Huh?
Whose shoe size is that?
- Thank you, honey. / - You're welcome.
I haven't even bought you shoes.
And it's been over 3 years.
I won't be home for the next 2 days.
Tomorrow?
Tomorrow...
Do you need help?
Rather than it being hard for me...
If you disappear like that, it's meaningless.
Mom and dad need to stay together for the kids.
So they feel secure.
- Really? / - Of course.
Says who?
It was hard for the kids because there was only dad.
If there's only mom now...
Without dad.
If the dad they relied on for 3 days is gone,
they'll get confused.
I lie down like this...
Look how happy he is.
The 3rd day brightens in Osaka, Japan.
The Choovely family have woken up early
to go for a morning walk.
Papa!
Hold my hand.
Give me Kyoro.
Give me Kyoro.
No?
Huh?
Let's go!
Come here.
Hold my hand.
Hold grandpa's hand too.
You have to hide.
Sarang, come here.
Hide so she can't see.
Come here.
Come here. Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go now.
Let's go.
She brought a towel to wipe her face.
A silly dad that makes his daughter cry.
The sound of Sarang's crying woke up Osaka.
This dad is starting the day with a different sound.
Haru is fast asleep.
What's Tablo doing in the kitchen?
He's eating instant noodles for breakfast?
I realized that I hadn't eaten anything.
Are all mothers like this?
Is this why they eat late night snacks?
I just had one bite...
I realized I should've cooked two.
Haru, are you awake?
Mom will be here in an hour.
Should we sleep one more hour here?
Huh?
One?
Just one.
She'll be here after 1 hour.
I was so hungry that I ate.
Are you hungry, Haru? Are you okay?
Make sure you listen to dad. I'll be back soon.
They've missed their mom more than ever
and they've waited for her more than ever.
She's walking faster than usual.
Who is she?
Hello!
Sarang.
Hello!
Mommy.
Hello!
Come on in.
Mommy!
Come on in.
Hello!
Come on in.
Come on in.
Sarang!
Mommy! Mommy!
Good morning.
Thank you for taking care of her.
Who's this?
Mommy!
Who is this?
She's acting like a baby.
Sorry for causing trouble.
- It's okay. / - How were you, father and mother?
Pretty.
Was Sarang a good girl?
She was really good.
Very pretty.
How was it this time?
It was fun.
How was it, father?
I had fun.
I see. Wasn't it hard work?
Ask mom for this.
She doesn't want to do it. Don't make her do it.
She's acting like a baby now.
She was having fun till now.
Why's she suddenly acting like that?
Sarang.
You don't think of mom when you're with me, right?
Right?
Thank you so much.
It must've been hard but
please take care of her next time too.
No, it's okay.
It was fun.
You've never been to grandpa's grave in Korea?
Yes, that's right. The grave as well.
I want her to learn more Korean.
She understands little by little.
She understands and answers in Japanese.
I speak in Korean and she answers in Japanese.
Please.
I'd like you to teach her lots of Korean.
She's grown taller too.
She's taller than last time.
12cm.
Do you see up there?
That's wonderful.
This much.
About the size of her head.
Amazing.
She jokes around like a boy.
I thought she'd be a gentle girl.
It's in her blood.
- She's stubborn. / - She's stubborn?
She never gives in.
She keeps saying papa instead of daddy.
She'll never say daddy?
She keeps saying papa.
She just keeps going.
She never loses.
She's like you.
Grandma's blood.
I'm stubborn too.
So she must be really stubborn.
It runs in our family.
Thank you so much. It must've been hard...
But please take care of her next time too.
No, it was fun.
Bring her whenever you have time.
Which mom has arrived now?
Since it's their first time,
they're even happier to see mom.
It's mom!
I missed you!
Did you miss me?
Did you miss me?
Dad wouldn't listen to me.
Dad didn't listen you to?
I missed you, Haru!
You said you wanted hug me.
Why aren't you hugging me?
Give me a hug.
- Haru, give mom a hug... / - Mom!
Yes?
Mom, I'll give you a present.
What present?
Dad, give mom her present.
- Mom's present? / - Yeah.
Do you have something?
It was hard, right?
No...
Haru, I haven't even greeted dad yet.
Why didn't you come sooner?
Good work.
- Good work. / - Did you have to come on the dot?
I came earlier.
What is this?
What's this, Haru?
- Your present. / - My present?
What is this?
- It was hard to find Haru's. / - This is Haru's?
- This is Hyejeong's? / - Yes.
She'll love this.
They're the same as Haru's shoes, right?
Haru's shoes are pretty.
Look, Haru's and mom's are the same.
How pretty.
Tablo!
Are these shoes for me?
Yes, with Haru.
Honestly, I don't know.
From what I see...
She doesn't understand how hard it was to get them.
She doesn't understand that culture.
But then she'll still wear them.
- What are these shoes? / - Oh, these...
- These are for your mother. / - Oh, I see.
- So... / - I need to pee.
- For mother-in-law... / - You need to pee?
You need to pee right away?
It's automatic once mom gets here.
You need to pee?
How did you hold it all this time?
You didn't tell dad you needed to pee, right?
In case dad can't do it well.
Good work, honey.
How did you take care of her for 2 days?
Thank you for coming back.
Oh, dear.
Oh, no!
I must be crazy!
Oh, no!
As soon as you came in...
Oh, goodness.
Oh, dear! I'm so sorry!
- It really hurts. / - Oh, no.
Who hit him, mom?
I did.
It was a mistake.
Mom is a liar.
When did I lie? What's wrong with you?
You say strange things after being with dad for 2 days.
Mom!
You hit dad.
Haru, did mom hit dad?
I hit him by accident.
It wasn't an accident.
No, it was an accident. I mean it.
It was a mistake while I was praising him.
I just don't get her.
Mom, I have a present for you.
I have a present for you.
- Bring it to me. / - Did you get some rest?
No, mom. Come with me, I'm scared.
As if you're scared. The sun is already out.
- Hurry up and go. / - She must be scared.
- Go with her, mom. / - Just go.
Hurry up.
I want to talk with dad.
Just go with her.
Haru, you're scared now that mom's here?
She goes back and forth hundreds of times
then says she's scared when mom's here.
Haru, where's that toy?
The moment I saw Hyejeong,
I really thought it was "The Return of Superman."
The Superman that takes care of the childcare
and this house.
I'm the Superman on the stage?
Tablo's completely relaxed as soon as mom's back.
The Superman on the stage goes flying in his dreams.
Here, they're all still in dreamland,
unaware that mom is home.
Are you still sleeping?
Oh, you're here.
Did you sleep late last night?
Mom inspects the house first
to see how the three boys have been doing.
Did you not hang the laundry?
It's still in the washing machine.
I hung the black clothes.
But I forgot to take out the laundry after.
Honey!
Why is there powder where you are
supposed to put fabric softener?
The thing is...
That's done.
Oh... How did you know?
Can you tell?
You can see the powder that's left over.
What is this?
What do we do now?
Thanks to her sloppy husband,
the wife now has more work to do.
She looks slightly angry.
The 3 men plan a surprise.
It's all over the place.
Anyone can tell it's pretty unorganized.
Was there a lot of black laundry?
- No, not really. / - Yeah?
Mom.
What do you think is around here?
What?
What do you think is around here?
What could be here?
What's here?
Ta-da!
What was that?
Nothing...
Junu made your coupons.
Did Junu make something for me?
- Really? / - Coupons.
- Coupons? / - Coupons.
Rag...
Junseo, come here.
So how long can I use these?
Until I'm 8.
You'll do these until you're 8?
So they're invalid after you turn 8?
No.
For life.
I can use them for life?
I see.
Where's your brother's coupons?
Did you draw this, Junu?
Yes.
Junu made the envelope as well.
Really?
I'm about to cry.
Are you congratulating mom and dad's
wedding anniversary?
Is this mom and dad?
Thank you.
How did you think to make these for me?
Dad told me to.
Dad told you?
For me...
Thank you.
It was too embarrassing to make a coupon book.
- Really? / - Yes.
But I will give you a present from my heart on the day.
How about money from your heart?
Mom, I was going to do this.
I was going to give you my fart as a gift.
Yeah.
In a plastic bag.
Mom, congratulations on your anniversary.
We went through some financial difficulties then.
I said I could bring home $1,000 per month.
And if we could get married then.
When I asked her that
this foolish girl...
"What are you on about? That's more than enough.
We can save some, be a little frugal...
and really live well."
Yes! Since I loved the man so much
and I trusted him so much,
I never thought money would be a problem.
I just thought the two of us could lively happily.
Really?
Do you love me more and more?
I'm like that too.
Thank you.
They didn't know back then...
How hard it is to become parents.
And how marvelous it is.
We're born into this fate
where we can't live without our other half.
There's nothing I can do without you.
And with you, I can do everything.
Because I'm with you...
I'm happy.
Daddy.
Hello.
Daddy.
The Return of Superman. Episode 4.
"This is What Your Dad is Like."
