Between Heaven and Earth
is a place called Cloudland.
People stay until they're forgotten
before going up to Heaven.
Mommy Penguin peeped down on Earth
through a hole
and she cried every day.
When the rainy season
started one year later...
she secretly hopped on
the Raindrop Train.
The train stopped at a small station.
Suddenly, she heard a baby's cry.
She ran over to find her baby penguin
in a yellow raincoat crying.
She held her baby penguin tight.
Suddenly, a miracle happened!
Mommy and her baby
always stayed together.
They played games.
Mommy taught her baby
how to fish, and they had fun together.
Soon, the rainy season
was almost over.
Raindrop Fairy from Cloudland came
and whispered to Mommy Penguin.
You must return
before the clouds roll away.
If you miss the last Raindrop train,
you can't go back to Cloudland.
Then you won't be able to watch
your baby through the clouds.
Mommy was sad, but she didn't cry.
Her baby smiled back at her too.
They hugged each other
and said goodbye with a smile.
Mommy Penguin returned to Cloudland
and watched her baby every day
but didn't cry anymore.
[To Ji Ho, from Mom]
She died way too young.
Can the boy's father take care of him?
We warned it'd be
dangerous to have a baby.
She was fine before giving birth.
That's right!
See you again, Mom.
[Be With You]
[1 year later, summer of 2006]
Ji Ho! Wake up!
It's time for school!
Son!
Did you sleep in her wardrobe again?
Let's have breakfast. Wake up!
It's sunny throughout
the country today.
It will be a high of 29C in Seoul.
Daegu will go up to a high of 30C.
It will be two to three degrees
hotter than yesterday.
The rainy season will begin this weekend.
Jeju Island will get heavy downpours.
The seasonal rain front
isn't moving northward...
Does the rainy season start with rain?
- Probably.
- Does it always rain?
It usually comes and goes.
You said it has to rain.
When the rainy season starts...
sometimes it rains
and sometimes it doesn't.
But it has to rain for the
rainy season to start.
What if it rains on Jeju Island?
Then the rainy season starts?
It's part of our country too.
Yes. Don't worry.
The rainy season will come.
Hurry up and eat.
- Are you excited, too?
- About what?
Mom will come when the
rainy season starts.
- Ji Ho...
- Yes?
Let's wait and see.
Eat up. You'll be late.
Don't worry. Mom will keep her promise.
It's in the book, too!
- Your medicine!
- Oh, right!
- See you later!
- Aren't you hot?
- It might rain.
- See you later.
After school...
I'll go to Uncle Hong Go.
- Pay attention in class.
- I will.
Go, Dad! You're late!
Here you are.
- It's been a while.
- Yes.
- Please come often.
- I will.
How about number 110?
Here you go.
Thanks for the coffee.
Sure.
Wait...
Here.
Pardon?
Your buttons...
Hyun Jung? Coffee.
I had some already.
Did you clean in the morning?
Yes, I cleaned everything.
Good job!
One, two, three, four!
One, two, three, four!
- Look at him!
- He's handsome!
What are you doing?
Hurry up!
Why are you afraid of
getting in the water?
Why work here if you're
so scared of water?
[Hong Gu Bakery]
Not again.
Why the long face?
What happened at school?
Nothing.
Tell me what's wrong.
Dad can't run, can he?
He can't.
Why can't he do so many things?
- Are you going through puberty?
- What's that?
Forget it.
Well, your dad is...
You know the lights that turn on
automatically when you pass by?
Yeah, there's one at our front door.
How does it turn on?
If I move under it.
Right.
Does it turn on
if people don't pass by it?
It does.
- It does?
- Yup.
It turns on if a fly or
the wind passes under it.
Why's the light like its owner?
Anyway...
if it goes on and off all
the time, what will happen?
It's broken.
- It's broken already?
- Yup.
If you're dad works hard all the
time, he'll break down too.
I guess.
So, he can't do everything.
That's why he can't run?
It's too hard.
What about driving?
What if he gets in an accident?
And movie theaters?
There's a lot to watch on TV.
But why ask about running?
I'm the class rep for the relay race.
Way to go, kid!
We have to run with our dads.
You've got me! Don't worry!
But your legs are short.
Ji Ho!
You got my legs all wrong!
Come here.
Here.
Touch right there.
- Feel that bone?
- Yes!
Most people's legs stop there.
Now, touch mine.
I can't feel it!
Know why you can't feel my leg bones?
No.
My legs don't stop there!
My legs go up to here!
- Like what?
- Penguins!
Then do you think I'll be fast
with these long legs, or not?
- Totally fast!
- You got it!
Let's win!
Dad!
Why do you look so happy?
Uncle Hong Go will run
in the relay race with me.
- The relay race?
- Yes!
We're supposed to run with our dads
but Uncle Hong Go says he's fast
because of his super long legs.
Really? That's great.
Bye, Uncle Hong Go! Go, Penguin!
Go!
Thanks, pal.
No problem.
One of my customers
is a really classy lady.
See ya.
Don't be shy, pal!
Blue Team wins!
Thanks for your help.
Don't worry. Have fun.
Thank you.
Hey, Jeong!
Come here.
We got many complaints.
Members say it's dark
and the light is flashing.
I'd change it, but I'm afraid of heights.
I can't even change my own light bulbs.
Could you hurry it up?
Your son must be waiting.
Isn't there a race every year?
You can go next year, right?
Listen up.
When I get the baton and start running
it takes me about three
seconds to reach full speed.
Get it? You hear me?
- So I'll...
- Jeong Ji Ho!
Wow! His legs are really long!
See? I told you!
Still, he can't.
Why's it so small?
Give me the shirt.
Why?
Hurry up.
What's with you?
You're not my dad.
Next up is the family relay run.
Participants, take your positions.
Your attention, please.
Next up is the family relay run.
Participants, take your positions.
Daddy!
Son? I can just jog, right?
Sure! I'll run fast!
Let's go, White Team!
Let's go, Blue Team!
Hurry! Faster!
Hurry!
Last runners, get ready!
Ji Ho!
That's it! Go, Ji Ho!
Go! Go! Go!
Go, Blue Team! Go, Blue Team!
Get up, Mister!
Dad!
- I must have embarrassed you.
- No way!
Dad?
You'll never leave me, will you?
I'm not going anywhere without you.
- Promise?
- Of course!
I swear on Cloudland.
Okay!
I'll carry you.
But you must be tired.
I want to carry my son. Get on.
Let's go!
Dad?
What?
Let's wash our blankets when we go home.
Why?
Uncle Hong Go said then it'll rain.
- Really?
- Yup!
Then let's go home faster.
- Hold tight!
- Okay.
Let's fly!
What are you looking for?
A four-leaf clover.
You said if we find 10 of them,
a wish will come true.
What's your wish, Ji Ho?
For you to be healthy.
Thank you, Honey.
Mommy will be healthy.
Promise?
Promise!
Dad!
Dad! It's raining!
What?
Let's go see Mom!
Ji Ho!
You'll catch a cold! Wait!
Ji Ho!
Mom!
Mommy!
Mom! Where are you?
That's weird. Where's Mom?
She's not here yet?
Do you want to go now?
No! I'm not leaving.
You'll catch a cold.
I'm not going!
Something must have kept her
from coming today.
Let's come next time.
No! Mom said she would
come with the rain!
Let's go home.
No! She said she would come today!
Put me down! Stop it!
What's that?
It's Mom!
Why? I want to go to Mom!
You wait right here.
I'll go check first.
- No!
- Jeong Ji Ho!
Stay back!
It's Mom, right?
Wait.
Calm down. Relax.
She could be a ghost.
Who cares? She's Mom.
Right.
Mom!
Ji Ho!
Mommy!
No! Don't touch her!
- Mom!
- No!
- Mom!
- Watch out! Stop!
- Ji Ho!
- Mom! Wake up!
See? It's Mom!
Who are you?
Mom? Don't you remember?
It's me, Ji Ho.
Mom?
I'm your mom?
Why don't you know me?
You said you'd come back
from Cloudland when it rains.
What does that mean?
Dad! Explain it to her! Come on!
It hurts.
Mom, get up!
I'll show you at home.
- Come on!
- Wait.
- Hurry!
- Let's go home.
This is you, Mom.
You and me. See?
There's more!
Ta-da!
I made this for your return.
Ji Ho!
I left your things as they are.
Go change and get comfortable.
- Don't you need to pee?
- No, I don't.
- You should pee. Let's go!
- I don't have to!
Why doesn't Mom
remember anything?
Maybe she hit her head
on the way from Cloudland?
I don't think
she knows that either.
What?
That she went to Cloudland.
Oh, really?
Ji Ho, let's keep this a secret.
Why?
What if she gets shocked and leaves?
Don't ever say
she'll leave again.
Let's pretend
we lived together all along.
And don't tell anyone else.
Understand?
If we help her,
Mom will get her memory back.
Okay?
Doesn't Mom look a lot healthier?
Yes! And prettier!
Mom's always been pretty.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Did I really live here?
Yes, you lived here.
Right?
- Right?
- Right!
But you mentioned Cloudland
and looked happy to see me.
You welcomed me.
And you said you left
my things as they are.
I let the house get messy like this?
Well...
You were... Uh...
Sick!
- I was?
- That's right!
You were sick and stayed
in the hospital.
Cloudland Hospital!
Cloudland...
Why was I in the tunnel
and not the hospital?
You got cured yesterday!
Right! You came home yesterday.
- So...
- We played hide-and-seek!
Hide-and-seek?
You love playing that.
You're really good.
- Right, Ji Ho?
- Right! You're the best.
Mom!
Are you okay?
See, Dad?
Mom hit her head
on the way down!
Right! A rock must've fallen
and hit you on the head.
- Right! A rock!
- That's why you fainted there.
That's right.
So, you lost your memory.
- Right.
- That must be it.
- Right.
- Right.
- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.
Kid. Come here.
Like father, like son.
Not me.
I made some fried rice for you.
It's in the fridge.
Stay home and try to get some rest.
If you overdo yourself...
It's up to me whether I work or lurk.
See you later!
See you.
Mom!
I'm home!
So soon?
My teacher was absent today.
I won.
I let you win.
You're good now.
I won't go easy on you.
Okay.
77, 78, 79...
Barley.
Rice!
Rice! Rice! Rice!
I give up!
I give up! Mom!
I give up!
Dad! It's okay!
We're just playing.
Aren't you eating?
I want Mom's rice cake skewers.
- Mom needs her rest.
- But she's really strong now!
Are you okay?
Yes.
Where's the remote? There it is.
He insisted on sleeping here.
- I'll take him. Ji Ho?
- It's okay.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
- Sleep well, then.
- Wait.
Yes?
Are you going to sleep?
I will in a bit.
Then get undressed.
That's what you want?
But Ji Ho is here.
I'll wait for you outside.
She shouldn't overdo it.
- Good thing Ji Ho's asleep.
- What are you doing?
Your legs got burned too?
Oh, you didn't mean that.
I'll put it on for you.
By the way...
I don't remember...
but I guess I'm a mom and a wife...
Don't worry.
You'll get your memory back soon.
It's not that.
I married you for love, right?
Hard to believe?
I'm just curious.
Could you tell me about us?
We first met in high school.
We were in the same class
all three years.
You were the top student
in the school.
You had the highest grades
throughout high school.
Was I a loner?
No.
Just someone who was hard
for normal kids to approach.
Since I was a student-swimmer,
I only studied for half the day.
And I slept during class,
so we had no chance to talk.
Then how did we end up together?
- Saw that?
- Yes!
Swim like that.
If you can swim, go here.
If you can't, go here.
Don't fool around back there!
Look!
Soo Ah!
Oh no! Help her!
What the?
Thank you.
I had a crush on you.
Let's solve the third question.
Today's the 23rd, right?
Then Students 13 and 33 can come up.
[Norwegian Wood]
Hey!
Stop drinking the herbal decoction.
You'll age faster.
It's okay. I'm baby-faced.
You like her, don't you?
- Who?
- "Who"?
Lim Soo Ah.
It's so obvious, you fool.
- You're crazy.
- Want me to help?
- Help with what?
- Answer quickly. Want help?
Forget it.
I'll ask one last time. Want help?
Fine. Good luck, bro.
I don't believe this!
According to my calculations...
Lim Soo Ah loves you
way more than you do.
Woo Jin loves Soo Ah, 9%.
Soo Ah loves Woo Jin...
98%!
No way!
So just act cool
and uninterested around her.
Ask her for a pen,
then she'll say she has one.
Then be chic and say,
"Lend me an eraser," you know!
Then she'll think you're funny
and she'll laugh.
Just go with the flow, bud.
- You get me?
- Yeah.
- You trust me?
- I do.
Hey, Lim Soo Ah?
- Got a pen I can...
- No.
I knew it.
She's good at hiding her feelings.
You can't rush things.
If she likes you more,
she'll come on to you.
Ready?
One, two, three! One, two, three!
Jeong Woo Jin!
Hey!
Can't you get it right?
Sorry, Sir.
It's because I'm left-footed.
No, you're a left-foot-klutz!
Again!
It wasn't me!
Soo Ah?
- Are you left-footed?
- Yes.
Can you partner up
with the left-foot-klutz?
One!
It's dirty. Oh, no!
It's okay.
What's going on?
Oh no!
We didn't talk again
until our last day of school.
You're not still...
You're over her, right?
Shut up.
What? You're not?
- You're crazy!
- Stop it!
- You liked her for three years?
- Shut up!
You have a crush!
Stop!
You didn't write yet.
Me?
Right.
- Woo Jin? Got a pen?
- Sure.
You can write too, if you want.
Me?
Do it.
Sure.
Soo Ah likes me?
My pen!
I went to a nearby college for swimming.
You went to a university in Seoul.
Don't worry, Woo Jin.
Friends matter more than love.
What? I don't like her!
You liar!
Don't you remember?
- It'll come...
- Mom!
Mom!
I thought you went back to Cloudland.
He means the hospital.
So, we didn't date during high school?
That's right.
Then I tried to call you in our first
summer break from college.
Hello?
No! Call her back!
- Call her!
- Move!
Stupid!
After summer break...
I wanted to call you during winter break.
[Military duty notice]
Just like that, another
two and a half years went by.
Hello?
Hello?
Hang up!
Hello?
You crazy...
Who's this?
Hang up!
- Hello?
- It's Jeong Woo Jin!
Sunghyeon High, Class of '92,
Jeong Woo Jin.
Hi. It's Jeong Woo Jin.
You probably don't remember.
Do you have my pen that
you took on the last day of school?
It was really expensive.
Hong Go!
What do want? Just say anything!
I'll do anything you say!
- Let me style you up.
- Style me?
I'm not late. You came early.
I know.
It's hot. Why didn't you wait inside?
We promised to meet here.
Right. Sorry.
It's okay.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
It's hot, so...
Take care.
Okay. Bye.
Hey, Soo Ah!
Aren't you thirsty?
I am.
Do you live in a dorm at school?
No, I live alone.
That must be tough.
It's better than home.
No one tells me what to do.
That's true.
You can feel trapped
living at home.
I hate it when people
tell me what to do.
It's up to me whether
I work or lurk.
"Work or lurk"?
That's a good one.
Why are you laughing?
Well...
[Norway]
Do you like Norway?
Yes, I love it.
The great forests and fjord coasts.
Do you like it too?
Not really.
Didn't you read a book
called "Norwegian Wood"?
What?
That's just a novel.
It has nothing to do with Norway.
Actually...
I bought it thinking it was
about Norwegian forest cats.
It's a type of cat?
Yes, it's so cute.
It's a cat that looks like a dog
and is friendly too.
It has really long and soft fur.
Really?
- Do you like cats?
- Of course, I love dogs too.
Me too.
Your bus is here.
I'll see you off and then go.
It's packed.
I'll take the next one.
Really?
It's the last bus.
Are you getting on or not?
I'll be going then.
I won't be back from Seoul
until winter break.
Look over there!
He's so fast!
Mister! Wait! Stop!
- What are you doing?
- Sorry, sir!
Lim Soo Ah!
Yes?
Can I write you letters?
He's got color mousse?
They must be dating.
Come on! Get off the bus!
Let's go!
This isn't Hollywood!
- I'll write!
- Get off!
[The rainy season is expected
to last longer than normal.]
- You look so happy.
- Pardon?
Ah, well sort of.
Are you dating someone?
No, why would I be?
You look so happy.
My buttons...
It's so hot.
Are you stupid?
It's raining again.
It's all my dad's fault.
Why?
Whenever his car gets washed,
it rains the next day.
But he washes it every day.
Our car is American.
- You're so lucky!
- You're so lucky!
You're like my dad.
How?
He likes rainy days too.
Says cigarettes taste better.
- What about you?
- I hate 'em.
Why?
My hair gets curlier.
Woo Jin! Wait!
That's what's urgent?
What's more urgent than this?
Forget it.
You saw how pretty she is!
She's really classy.
I don't care!
I smell something suspicious.
You're in love.
What in the world?
Don't act naive! Who is she?
Forget it.
It's written on your face! Who is she?
I won't tell anyone. Who is she?
- Let go!
- Hey!
I won't steal her from you!
Friendship over love, remember?
Actually...
If you say Soo Ah came back, you're dead!
Be more creative than that!
That's all you can think of?
Say she lost her memory, why don't you?
I got to go.
What's with him?
I'm sorry. My friend's a little shy.
I can't stand guys like him.
Still, he's my friend.
No...
I meant him.
Must have a reason for being alone.
Right.
That's gross.
No, I meant you.
Me?
I see it's an
"only one woman for life" case.
Is it written on my face?
Well, I am a romanticist.
Not you. I meant your friend.
Too bad for such...
a handsome face.
Right. Woo Jin is
pretty good looking.
I meant you.
- What?
- You.
Me?
Look! It's huge!
What is it?
I can hear better now!
This came from your ear?
- Come here, Dad.
- Why?
Lie down.
- Come on! Lie down!
- But...
Dad!
He has some earwax, too.
You have big ear holes
just like Dad.
There's so much.
Be careful...
Woo Jin!
Woo Jin!
Jeong Woo Jin!
What?
My buddy, Jeong Woo Jin!
Hong Go?
What's with you?
Buddy! If you die, I can't live!
Why would I die?
Ji Ho, Mommy's here!
You're drunk!
- Go home and sleep!
- I came back from Cloudland!
Go!
Sorry, Bro.
Damn.
- Stop.
- Why?
You can't go out.
Why not?
Uncle Hong Go is weird.
How?
His head is too big.
Where'd he go?
Hey!
Soo Ah wasn't strikingly beautiful!
Her body wasn't to die for!
Why, you little...
Let's talk outside!
Holy cow.
Remember? This is Hong Go.
He's quite drunk.
Would you like some water?
Why is he dressed like a penguin?
Soo Ah!
I'll explain everything!
Don't tell anyone!
- Soo Ah! It's Soo Ah!
- Your water.
Hong Go!
Stay back!
Our Father, who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come...
thy will be done...
on earth, as it is in heaven?
I'm so sorry!
Forgive me! I won't do it again!
I won't set him up
on blind dates again!
So please forgive me!
I'm sorry!
Be careful!
He's not a bad guy.
- So?
- What?
You said you'd write. Then what?
What?
I wrote to you.
Are you cold?
What?
Are your hands cold?
No.
Why wear gloves?
I'm not.
Were you in a fight?
I fell off my bike.
You need ointment. I'll get it.
It's okay.
Let's just stay like this.
Mom?
No cheating, okay?
Are we there yet?
Almost.
We're here.
There's nothing here.
This is it?
Look!
It's a movie theater!
Here.
Want to see?
Wow!
Turn up the volume.
Sorry.
- I'll turn it off.
- What?
Fine.
- Let's watch together!
- It's too small to share.
Wait!
I can see.
- This way.
- Wait.
What's this?
[My birthday]
Don't lie!
- I'm not lying!
- Seriously?
Don't tell anyone, okay?
Promise.
I made this?
[Mommy Penguin in Cloudland]
It's cute.
Barley, barley, rice!
You're so good!
Again!
- I'll catch you!
- Barley...
Ready, go!
Ji Ho, don't hurt Mommy!
Stop!
Ji Ho! Wait! I'm sorry!
- Stop!
- Don't hurt Daddy!
Give up! Give up!
We give up!
What's that for?
It's to ask for more rain.
Why?
Because I love rainy days!
- Dad!
- What?
What's that over there? Over there!
Jeong Woo Jin!
Ji Ho! We did it!
Let's run away!
- Are you having fun?
- Yes!
- But it must be hard on Dad.
- No, I'm fine!
Dad! Faster!
Faster? Let's go!
Ji Ho, we're home!
What did you wish for?
It's a secret.
Let's go wash up.
Dad!
Dad!
Why didn't you tell me?
What's wrong with you?
When did it start?
After our third date.
Go on in. Take care.
Wait.
Good luck at the national tryouts.
Don't get hurt.
No, I mean... Here.
Doctors said there's a problem
in my brain that controls hormones.
I got treatment and pills,
but it only got worse.
If I got nervous or strained myself,
I kept fainting.
Everything came to an end.
Not just swimming,
but living a normal life, too.
How have you been?
Fine...
You've lost weight.
No, I didn't.
I heard you quit swimming.
Yeah. I have other plans.
Is something wrong?
It's nothing like that.
Please...
- Don't hide it.
- I'm not hiding anything.
I just...
don't like you anymore.
Really?
Just your feelings for me changed?
Nothing bad happened, right?
Of course not.
That's good.
From now on...
let's not see each other.
Then, for a year,
I struggled to get over you.
But I couldn't.
It was really dangerous
for me to go to Seoul alone...
but if I could see you
just one more time...
I didn't care what happened to me.
Seeing you happy,
I felt a little sad.
Still, I was relieved.
I knew that I wasn't
good enough for you.
I realized that for good.
We didn't talk to each other after that.
I thought it was completely over.
Then, a few months later...
Hello?
I mulled over whether
to meet you again or not.
My head was telling me to go back
but my heart would not let me go.
Soo Ah, I...
Don't worry.
We'll be fine. It's meant to be.
Soon after, I proposed to you.
You said you hated
every minute we were apart...
and asked me to propose soon.
That means I proposed first.
If you didn't say that,
I wouldn't have dreamed of marriage.
Despite your parents being against it...
you quit grad school and married me.
Then, Ji Ho was born.
Can we live happily ever after like this?
Of course.
- A school concert?
- Yes.
You're in it, too?
Yeah, our whole class is singing.
That sounds fun!
- Will you come, Mom?
- Of course! I want to see you sing!
You'll go too, right?
Right, of course.
It's the forecast!
This year's rainy season
is unusually long.
It will end in about two weeks.
Hurry up and eat.
The rain clouds are
concentrated in the central...
- Why turn it off?
- It was too loud.
Hurry up and eat. You'll be late.
Lim Soo Ah?
That's me.
Daddy's home.
It's too hard.
Don't hold it tightly.
Let's practice again.
Hold it gently and tap.
Not too hard.
See? You can do it!
- You can make it yourself, right?
- Yes!
That's my boy!
Ji Ho! Daddy's home.
Dad! I made fried eggs!
Really? That's awesome!
He's so good!
Want to try again?
- Daddy?
- Yes?
Did you put up a four-leaf clover?
No.
There were eight before.
Now, there are nine.
Did Mom put it up?
[You must return
before the clouds roll away.]
It will come someday.
The day of my dreams.
I'm good at running.
I'm the fastest runner in my class.
I'm going to win a gold medal
at the Olympics.
Ji Ho.
Concentrate and do it right.
Let's try it again.
Okay, Son?
Here.
Hold on tight and shake it twice.
Turning it to full power
won't help suck up all the dust.
That's good.
Don't use your nails.
Rub gently.
Like this?
Yes! Scrub everywhere.
That's good!
You two look like emperor penguins.
Why do you say that?
When the mommy penguin
lays an egg and goes away for food...
the daddy incubates it on its feet
for over 2 months in -50C.
That's amazing.
We have a problem.
- Take Ji Ho. Hurry.
- Why?
I have to poo. Hurry! Take him!
The emperor penguin
holds it for two months!
Ji Ho's awake. He's not crying.
Still, hold it!
Come on! Take him!
Who am I?
Ji Ho is smiling!
Look at Mommy!
Ji Ho!
Daddy did it.
Stay still, then.
Ji Ho! Hold Mommy's hand!
You stayed up every night and did this?
Since I saw her,
I can't even get mad!
Man!
Will this stop Soo Ah from going?
When the rain stops,
doesn't she have to go?
I have to at least try.
Of course.
Hello?
See for yourself.
Somebody kept putting soap on our car.
We caught him using a scrubbing pad!
Ji Ho? Did you really do that?
Hold your head up.
Did you do it?
My son saw him.
Why'd you do it?
Tell me why you did this.
You won't tell me?
I'm sorry.
I'll punish him at home.
I'll pay for damages.
Please let me know.
I'll say this because
I'm worried as a parent, too.
I think Ji Ho may have
emotional problems.
He should get therapy
before it's too late.
I'm sure you're doing
the best you can...
but it shows when kids don't have a mom.
I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Why are you crying?
Seo Bin...
He said if his dad's car
gets washed, it always rains.
Mom's not leaving, right?
We can hold her
and stop her from going, right?
We can't let her go again!
[Classy Bakery]
Welcome!
How can I help...
Don't worry. I won't bite.
I came to ask you for a favor.
What favor, Ma'am?
I mean, Soo Ah.
First, I apologize for the
"not beautiful" and "hot body" comments.
I didn't mean it.
What's this?
You won't close this bakery
anytime soon, right?
Why?
The favor will take a long time.
Ji Ho!
Mom!
Mom!
Ji Ho! It's raining!
Why'd you come out?
Where were you?
I went to Uncle Hong Go's to buy a cake.
- There!
- Now, let's sing!
Ready, go!
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday...
Dear Ji Ho.
Happy birthday to you!
Blow out the candles.
Hurry!
I wonder how Ji Ho will grow up.
Since he resembles you,
I'm sure he'll be handsome.
What? You agree?
[Yewool Elementary Concert]
Hello, everyone. We're today's hosts.
- I'm Lee Jun Sung.
- And I'm Park Yoon Young.
Let's begin our school concert!
- Wait up!
- We're late!
Call an ambulance!
Get out of the water!
There's broken glass in there!
Ma'am! Come out of the water!
Next up are our adorable
first-grade students.
They'll sing "The Day of My Dreams"
in a musical-like way.
I can't wait!
Let's give them a big hand!
I believe in my dream.
Though it may seem hard.
I close my eyes.
And draw out that day.
Though it may be hard.
And I feel like crying.
I will never give up.
I believe in my heart.
It will come someday.
The day of my dreams.
How nice it will be.
I picture it in my mind.
I'm good at soccer.
My dream is to make
the national soccer team
then play pro soccer in Europe.
I can do it!
I'm good at singing and dancing.
I can act, too.
My dream is to become a singer
and a great actress too!
I'll be the best sailor!
I'll draw cartoons.
I'll become a model.
I'm good at Kart Rider.
I'm high in the rankings.
Mom promised I can play more
if I become a doctor.
Ji Ho...
Ji Ho! Mommy's here.
I'm good at running.
I'm good at cleaning.
If you vacuum on high,
it can't suck dust as much.
Is it dusty?
I'm good at doing laundry.
You have to shake the clothes
and then hang them.
I'm good at washing my hair.
When you wash it...
don't use your nails to scrub.
I'm good at cooking too.
Crack an egg gently
and fry it on medium heat.
The egg will break
if you grasp it too hard.
I...
I will protect my dad.
Just like I promised Mom.
It hurts...
The sun's out!
Wait!
Mom!
Mom!
[If you miss the last Raindrop Train,
you can't go back to Cloudland.]
Mom!
Mom!
Ji Ho!
Mom!
How'd you come here?
Mom? You're not leaving now, are you?
Ji Ho.
Listen to me carefully.
Okay?
It's time for me to go now.
I'm sorry...
for not recognizing you sooner.
Mom... I'm sorry.
What? Why, Ji Ho?
It's because of me.
You died because of me.
What? Who said that?
I heard your relatives say
you were sick because of me.
I'm sorry.
If I knew, I would've been a better son.
Don't say that.
I was so happy because of you.
Still, if I wasn't born,
you could have lived longer with Dad.
That's not true, Ji Ho.
I would have been the same
even if you weren't born.
And...
I wouldn't have been happy
without you even if I lived to be 100.
Really?
Of course!
Mommy and Daddy...
We met for you to be born
into this world, Ji Ho.
So I'm very thankful for you.
Really?
Yes.
Ji Ho...
Mommy will go to Cloudland
and keep watching you.
Grow up well.
And protect Daddy like you promised.
I'll never forget you, Mom.
Good.
Thank you.
I wonder how Ji Ho will grow up.
Since he resembles you,
I'm sure he'll be handsome.
Soo Ah...
Yes?
I'm sorry.
For what?
I really...
wanted to make you happy.
Can't you see I'm happy?
I was more than happy
just being with you.
So don't ever feel sorry.
Soo Ah... Please, wait...
Take good care of Ji Ho.
Love him lots for me, too.
Wait, Soo Ah... I'm coming.
Hold on, please...
Soo Ah...
I'll be right there.
Soo Ah...
Soo Ah...
Soo Ah!
Soo Ah!
Stay by Ji Ho's side
for a long, long time.
When you feel like
you're a burden to him...
then come meet me at Cloudland.
I'll save you a spot beside me.
Dad!
- Dad!
- Yeah?
Wow! You're better than me now!
Let's eat.
Ketchup!
Let's eat.
There.
Ji Ho! Let's go!
Hold tight, Son!
Yay! My dad won!
Next!
Tense up your belly!
Next!
That's good.
March 2nd, 1990.
The unthinkable happened.
I started liking someone.
What a great first impression.
Late on your first day of school?
What's your name?
Jeong Woo Jin, Sir.
Woo Jin?
You're the swimmer student?
Don't be late next time.
And he's in my class.
See that?
If you can swim, go here.
If you can't, go here.
Hurry! Come on!
Stop right there.
Go!
Come here!
Help her!
Thank you.
How embarrassing.
Hey, Lim Soo Ah.
- Got a pen I can...
- No.
Stupid.
I purposely got the steps wrong
to be his partner.
Can you partner up
with the left-foot-klutz?
- It got dirty!
- It's okay.
I'm sorry.
What's wrong with me?
For three years!
Come on!
You can write too, if you want.
I'm so stupid.
[It was fun being with you.
Thanks. - Woo Jin]
Woo Jin still likes...
Hello?
Hello?
- You crazy...
- Hello?
What? Hello?
It's Jeong Woo Jin!
Sunghyeon High Class of '92,
Jeong Woo Jin.
It's Jeong Woo Jin.
You probably don't remember.
Jeong Woo... Who?
Hey, Soo Ah!
Aren't you thirsty?
I am.
Finally, I had my first date with you.
And I held your hand.
We were slowly getting close.
After a long time...
I got a letter from you.
[I can't see you anymore. Sorry.]
It was just one sentence.
From now on...
let's not see each other.
We broke up after three dates.
I missed you so much.
Soo Ah!
Want to go make copies
of last year's tests?
Sure.
- It's raining so suddenly.
- I know.
- Did you study a lot?
- Not really.
I hope the same questions
are on our exam.
I bombed the last one.
Wait!
Woo Jin!
Jeong Woo Jin!
You came to see me!
I'm so sorry!
I got in an accident
the day you came to see me in Seoul.
When I woke up...
Mom!
- Mom!
- Ji Ho, stop!
- Mom!
- Let go!
I had leapt eight years into the future.
When I got in the accident at age 25
I lost my memory.
Then I went 8 years into the future
and met you at age 33.
And our eight-year-old son, Ji Ho.
Everything seemed strange
and unfamiliar.
But I fell in love with you again.
I had my first kiss with you.
We loved each other.
Then we parted again.
When I woke up again...
I was back in the hospital.
They said I woke up miraculously
after being in a coma for six weeks.
At first, I thought it was a dream.
But as time went by,
I remembered more.
My happy memories with you
felt so unbelievably real.
I couldn't tell anyone.
I couldn't even believe it myself.
Then I thought the future I saw...
could really come true.
Marrying you and having
a cute son named Ji Ho
and living happily together
was a dream come true.
But I would die at 32
and leave you and Ji Ho behind.
I was really scared.
I didn't want to die so soon.
If I didn't meet you again...
I'd probably marry someone else
and live on.
I thought maybe then
I won't have to die at 32.
But would I be happier?
Then I realized...
that I survived that accident...
because you and Ji Ho waited
desperately for me in the future.
Hello?
Woo Jin?
My beloved Woo Jin and Ji Ho...
I'm coming to be with you.
Soo Ah, I...
Don't worry.
We'll be fine. It's meant to be.
[I loved my time with you.
My life was great.]
Ji Ho! Happy birthday!
- Hi.
- Jeong Ji Ho!
Uncle Hong Go's here! Come out!
He's busy getting ready
for his first date.
He asked her out?
Uncle Hong Go!
You're way more handsome than your dad.
Thanks, Hong Go.
[Happy 20th birthday, Ji Ho!
Hope you find true love!]
[From your mom in Cloudland.]
Now, I'm done keeping
my promise to your mom.
Thank you.
Uncle Hong Go?
Can you give me a ride into town?
He's good at using me, just like you.
Let's go!
Wait, Dad!
I'll make dinner today.
Wait for me, okay?
Don't mind me.
Have fun on your date.
- Drive carefully!
- Okay!
