Kolappalur.
Even people in Tamil Nadu don't know where it is.
To that extent, even cell phone signal is not available there.
In that small village, there was a girl with a big dream.
Do you know what her dream was?
To go to Korea.
No matter what, she had to go to Korea at least once.
Every eye is dreaming
Life keeps something brewing
Try one bite.
New roads keep appearing
Heartbeats keep on thumping
Take care!
I'm on my way down.
Yes, I'll meet you on the main road.
Yes, hold on a moment.
Journey callin'
Fervy movin'
Closer to many riz
I need this swirl to chill
-Hey! -Finally.
We are going to meet Shenba!
If four people from Korea come to see the girl
with big dreams in that small village,
would you believe it?
My name is Shenba. Shenbagam.
One day, I want to get on a plane.
To Korea, my favorite place.
Do you know where this dream began?
From my school play.
Miss Matilda talked about
Subramania Bharati, Subhas Chandra Bose, Mother Teresa…
And in this play, I played Sembavalam.
You don't know who she is, right? I didn't either until then.
It's the story of a Tamil girl who went from Kanyakumari to Korea.
Would you believe that Tamil Nadu's culture, traditions,
and countless Tamil words
are still in use in Korea today?
It's because of Queen Sembavalam.
That day, everybody saw me as the queen.
You should've seen my father. His face was glowing with happiness.
Sembavalam.
Yesterday in the school play, when you did the queen role, you totally killed it.
Superb.
Thank you!
Hi, Sembavalam!
Go, Sembavalam.
After that, they all started calling me Shenbavalam.
I started learning a lot about Korea,
and even began studying it.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Sorry.
I am sorry.
Hey! What are you doing?
Learning English.
Dear!
-Turn it up. We want to hear it too. -You wouldn't understand it.
Tamil song?
K-pop.
This is Mani.
I like him just as much as I like Korea.
No matter what, I have to go to Korea.
Hey! Why don't you ask me how to do it?
Okay, tell me.
Go to the railway station and ask for a ticket to Korea.
Get a ticket. Buy it and just go.
Sir, when will the train to Korea arrive?
Sit there. It will be here in half an hour.
Are you stupid? Who can take a train to Korea?
No, Dad. My classmate Mani said so.
You'll believe everything that Mani says? Don't you have a brain? You fool!
Give me two idlis.
Please call me if you need anything.
Why trouble the kid?
Dear, you go and sit there.
Dad had a big wish.
That when I grew up, he'd hand this eatery over to me.
He wanted me to renovate it into a big restaurant.
The tenth grade exams are about to end. What's the plan?
I'll join computer science group.
-Science! Doctor! -I'm still thinking.
Is there a group where you can earn good money?
Why are you all looking at me?
I'm going to Korea.
How? By train?
My parents fought a lot over my dream of going to Korea.
"You keep quiet. She'll forget about it," Dad said.
I didn't forget about it.
My desire to go to Korea
grew up with me.
Like me, Dad also had a dream. To turn our eatery into a big restaurant.
That's why he sent me to the next town
and made me join a hotel management course.
You don't have any collateral, how can I give loan?
Sir, I need to go to Korea. Please give me loan.
Suppose I lend you the money
and you go to Korea.
Should I come there to collect the interest and principal?
-Sir, what other options are there? -There is one way.
Apply for an education loan to study in Korea.
We will try.
What's the point of spending so much to go to Korea?
Sir, which actor do you like?
Why did you marry your wife?
Why did you join this bank?
Is there an answer to questions like these?
I like it. That's all.
I shouldn't have asked.
-Who is Shenbagam? -My daughter. What's the matter?
You said your daughter would look after us.
She applied for a passport in Coimbatore. Why didn't she tell us?
She might have tried to tell us. But we didn't listen.
If she goes to Korea and works, they'll deport her right away.
Mom! Ask me directly.
Why would I be scared to ask you?
Look at your father.
Shop, home. This is all he knows.
She is going to Korea because she doesn't want to be ignorant too.
Hey, go and do your work.
At least ask her now.
-Go inside. -I'll go.
Rather than saying, "My daughter is like a queen,"
start looking for a groom for her.
Look here.
I can't work with the same energy as before anymore.
We thought once you got married,
we could give you the shop and live happily.
Somebody came by asking about you.
-I got scared, you know? -Dad!
If you're gonna do something, let me know in advance.
Take care.
You are welcome, sir.
The person you have called…
He is giving me a hard time.
-Hello? -Mani, can you repay the money now?
I can't pay the money right now, sir.
-You came to this bank and took money. -I know it was wrong.
It was wrong to beg from you.
If you don't pay the due amount,
I will come home and expose you in front of everyone.
Sir, sorry, sir.
-I'll somehow pay it back in a week. -Pay the full amount.
Hang up the phone!
Hey.
What?
-How long will you avoid me? -Is that what you think I'm doing?
I'm at work.
What? In this bar…?
Leave it. When will you talk to my father?
What can I say to your father? That I am working in a bar?
My classmates are so well off.
Look at me. Still here.
I'm drowning in the debts my father piled up.
Should I leave everything behind?
Sorry.
Give me some time. I will talk to your father.
I'll fix everything and come.
No matter how mad I get, you say stuff like this and my anger just melts away.
Haven't we fought about this a 100 times already?
Maybe a thousand?
My love, my forever love
I am only yours
I will follow you like a shadow
Aaralyaa
Who are you, who are you My beautiful girl
Who are you, who are you The one who rules my heart
Who are you, who are you The one who rules my dreams
Girl whose eyes twinkle like a firefly
Who are you, who are you, so close to me
Remember my friend in Mumbai? I'm planning to start a business with him.
If it goes well, everything will be fine. He is calling. Give me a minute.
Everywhere I go I tried to take you with me
I will ask you and do everything with you
Whether it is sorrow or happiness Whatever happens to me
I will first share it all only with you
Don't go, don't go
When you push me away, my whole heart
Becomes hollow and keeps suffering badly
Aaralyaa Aaralyaa
All my needs…
Are you hungry?
Girl whose eyes twinkle
I'll call you after making pongal.
Aaralyaa
It's boiling over. Turn it down.
Aaralyaa
All my searches are only to be with you
Aaralyaa
Hello.
Your friends found jobs and settled in Chennai and Bangalore.
Isn't it time for you to settle down?
Sir. I know very well what to do and when.
Hey, kid. I am watching you.
What are you always looking at on your phone?
What's her problem?
Mom, what's your problem?
You keep saying the girl should get married.
-But it's still not done. -Aunty!
You came for the function. Eat the feast, and go.
Hey, find a good boy.
Let's get her married.
-Mom. Why are you doing this? Please stop. -What now?
They're only here to see you. Let them see and go.
We can talk about the rest later.
Why are you wearing a black bindi on an auspicious day? Put a red one.
Muruga!
Nice weather, right? In Bangalore it's good, too.
But it's not this chilly.
I studied in Ooty.
Engineering, IT job, monthly 90k salary, and I have a car too.
But this won't work for you.
Two days ago at the festival, your dad saw you with someone.
He came to me yesterday and told me all about you.
But I have no problem.
He said you really like Korea.
No problem.
After the wedding, we'll honeymoon in Korea,
if that's okay with you.
Okay.
Okay. I'll go downstairs. Will figure out how I can stop this.
The guy who said, "I'll stop everything, don't worry,"
and left has agreed to the wedding.
Hey. What do you want?
-What's wrong with you? -Don't you know?
So, what now?
I thought they were just saying it. But they actually brought a guy.
How much longer do I have to meet you in secret?
You wanted to go to Korea. Why get married?
That's something I will do one day. That's not a reason to say no to marriage.
Look here.
Give me some time. I'll be ready soon.
Talk to Dad.
-Understand. -Please.
Come and talk to my father. He will understand.
Please.
-Please. -Shenba.
-What are you doing here? -Dad.
-You rascal! -Sir!
-Dad. -Saw you at the temple. I got suspicious.
-I didn't think it would come this far. -Dad, listen to him, please.
What are you saying?
What are you going to say? "I work in a bar.
Will you give me your daughter in marriage?"
-You are useless. -Don't say stuff like that, sir.
You will abandon her!
Let go, please. Listen to me, Dad.
Hey! Come with me.
-Come! -Dad!
Dad.
You're not coming.
No, Dad.
-You've made your decision. -No, Dad. Please.
Dad!
If you stay with him, you'll end up like him too.
Is that enough?
You made me a fool in front of him!
You were the one saying, "Let's go."
I'll tell you now. Come on, let's go.
But don't ask where, when, or why.
You come where I tell you. Got it?
I went with him without asking any questions.
That's how much I trusted him.
New town.
I don't know anyone here except him.
Get ready quickly. I will come.
I'm on one side, he's on the other.
I don't know what we're going to do next.
It's the first time I've been this far from home
and my father, all alone.
But I'm sure Dad must be thinking about me.
I'll leave. It's all my fault, right?
-How can I face my dad? -Why go back there?
Now listen to me.
He said you'd end up like me if you stayed with me. I keep thinking about that.
We're going to Korea, your favorite place.
We'll earn money there. Live there.
What? I don't understand.
I know things are difficult for you financially.
Korea is my desire…
Don't do all this.
For now, we need to take care of ourselves. I need a job, too.
What are we going to get by working here?
Money is not a problem. I'll take care of it.
Your passport is ready.
I went through an agency. The paperwork is done. It will arrive in two weeks.
A job at a five-star hotel in Korea for your degree.
The agency will take care of it.
He said he would provide a job offer letter.
You got a job. I will find one there.
I felt reluctant to come here and leave Dad.
How will I manage to go to Korea? Please.
Look here.
I have known you for nine years.
Trust me.
Whatever he says, I believe it completely.
I don't know why.
Just 25 days after he said it, we were on our way to Korea.
Hello? Is the work finished?
I think I'm going to be late.
I need to exchange money and come back.
I am here.
Go ahead and check in. I'll be there.
To our passengers,
as we prepare to head towards the Korean Peninsula,
please ensure your seat belts are securely fastened
and your seatbacks and tray tables are in their full upright position.
-Hello. Where are you? -I am here, I'm in.
I am here. I'm coming.
-I came. Coming in. -I came and sat down in my seat.
Okay, okay, coming.
Hello?
I know.
You're still angry with me.
Come to the point.
I wanted to tell you something.
What's up?
I am going to Korea.
Why? When your father came to see you, you sent him away.
Dad… Dad came?
You shamed him and sent him away! How dare you take the money?
Mom, what are you saying?
Sir, why are you here? What do you want?
She applied for a loan. The money has arrived.
Call her. I will give the money to her.
She won't come, sir.
Don't cause trouble here. Go away.
Why are you telling her all this?
She should know, right?
Sir, don't you understand?
Call her, I'll give it to her.
I told her you came. She says she can't come.
This is her money.
You thought that the money was from the bank?
Who would give you a loan?
That's his money. His savings.
Cabin crew, please take your seats for takeoff.
Please ensure your seatbelts are fastened securely.
Wait a minute.
Our flight time to Mumbai will take one hour and 40 minutes.
And enroute weather to Mumbai seems fairly good.
The number you are calling is either switched off
or not reachable at the moment.
Please try later.
Thank you for choosing to fly with us today and enjoy the day.
I'm drowning in the debts my father piled up. Give me some time.
Remember my friend in Mumbai? I'm planning to start a business with him.
-I don't need her money. Call her. -She won't come, sir.
Money's not a problem. I'll take care of it.
Come on, let's go. But don't ask where, when, or why.
You come where I tell you. Got it?
He will abandon you. Just see if he does or not!
What's your name?
Shenbagam.
What are you doing in Korea?
I am here for work
for 12 months.
This is the visa.
Next.
My first international trip.
Korea, Seoul… I had always wanted to come here.
The city I thought I would come to so happily,
but I don't have any of that happiness.
-Wow. -Wow, that's amazing.
Thank you!
Sir.
Hotel Niagara.
Hotel Niagara?
I don't know.
Hotel Niagara. You…
Book, book, already booked.
Hotel Niagara?
Okay.
Hello.
Passport.
What I did was wrong. I know it. That's my situation.
Even now, I did that for your good.
Anyway, you went to Korea.
Otherwise, it would have been just a dream.
I'm not in a situation to think about right or wrong.
But your Korea dream is fulfilled.
Don't think about anything. Just enjoy yourself in the place you love.
Excuse me, can't you see the line here? You should go to the back.
Use a bus card.
Money?
No.
Use your bus card or get off.

Mani, pick up the phone. I want to talk to you.
Pick up the phone.
Call me.
I need to talk to you right now. Call me.
If you call me later, I won't talk. Pick the phone!
Pick up the phone.
Please.
-Let's talk. Still, just once. -It's my business, I'll sort it out.
-We broke up. You're nothing to me. -It won't take long.
I threw everything away.
How could you cheat me?
You broke the trust we built over eight years.
Broke it!
Get lost. Come with me.
Sit down.
Because he called you, you went with him? Don't you have any sense?
You deserve it.
You deceived everyone.
He deceived you. It's Karma.
Wipe your eyes.
This fellow!
Tell me.
The moment I saw him, I said we didn't need him, but you didn't listen.
Come back to our home.
No. Why should I come? What will I do there?
You want me to ask Dad for forgiveness?
What are you doing in a place where no one knows you?
I can take care of myself.
This is my favorite city. I'll stay here. I'm going to stay.
Aren't you going?
He is gone.
Happy birthday, dear Hwang Hyun-soo Happy birthday to you
Oh, my!
I forgot to pay the bill?
Wow, what's all this?
Yes, this one.
Give it to her first.
Please explain this!
Who'd slap someone in a public place?
Don't you know that's illegal?
I don't understand.
What's the problem now? The drinking or the slapping?
Sir, someone has come looking for this girl.
-Really? -Yes.
Just tell me and let me go.
How can I help you?
There's a foreign girl here, right?
A short one?
Are you family?
Yes.
Are you saying this guy hit his girlfriend?
-Yes. -Then this girl hit him?
I apologize for causing trouble, sir.
Bring her along.
Sign here and take her with you.
-Tell her to do it quickly. -Sign it.
Who are you?
I should sign because you said so?
"If you sign,
you can leave.
If you don't sign,
you will stay here, I will go."
I will sign. Where? Where I sign?
You can go.
Thanks for the help!
Come on, let's go.
Thank you!
If a boy dragged a girl on the road in my town,
I'd have hit him with my slipper.
What is she talking about?
Nothing, sir. She is saying thank you.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Who are you?
I am Heo Jun-Jae.
Heo Jun-Jae?
Hey, you!

What is it? Tell me.

My mom's house.
That's my mom's home,
I came to buy kimchi.
Green onion kimchi!
So, I go.
Wait.

Your soju bill.
Next time you drink soju,
pay the bill for it.

Bus card?
Okay.

That address is this place.
See the logo, where is it?
Same.
This, no.
Big hotel, big hotel. This is small.
Same. Same!
I know it's fake letter.
If I tell you yesterday, I told you, you don't believe me.
Look, this is a fake company.
Fake letter. Whole scam.
Scam.
You got scammed.
Don't laugh!
I came here believing in this. I can't go back to my hometown.
I need a job. I need money. I…

You are like a half torn kite
Slowly.
With each step of yours you tend to fall
Oh my gracious doll
Standing alone in a crowd
It's a pity that You don't find a way running nonstop
At an unfamiliar city
Even address seems unaddressable
She has landed to make a living
Swaying like a hair strand In the flow of wind
You have to clean it.
Cleaning? No, no, no.
She is soft as a easily breakable
Fragile bangle
Who is she? Whose daughter is she?
Don't worry. This is my house.
Is she a uprooted small plant?
Who is she? Whose daughter is she?
Is she a uprooted small plant?
Hi!
Hi, Shenba! Job, job.
Ten minutes.
Come down. I'll pick you up.
Where? Where are we going?
Job.
Job… Job for you.
Let's see if I get it.
Eleven people so far.
What?
Nothing, carry on.
Don't worry, I'll be there. Okay.
Hello!
My name is Heo Jun-jae. I just spoke to you.
She is Shenba.
Hi, I am Hong Soo-Hwan.
Nice to meet you.
My mom is sick.
She can't move, walk, or talk. Only gestures.
She is-- Do you understand?
Yes, I understand.
Just do best to take care of her.
-That's enough. -Okay.
Okay, but what job?
Caretaker… Like…
Maid.
Maid?
Maid, clean. Clean, clean.
A maid?
That's hard. I've never worked in the home.
You okay?
Okay, sir, I will do. I will take care.
In my home, all work, me only.
This is my address.
Morning 10:00 a.m., come to my home.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Don't be late.
Mom.
Mom?
I've hired so many caregivers.
But I don't understand why everyone is quitting.
I have found another one with difficulty, but she doesn't speak Korean.
Please bear with her, okay?
-Shenba. -Calling you.
She is my mother.
Always keep her clean. Feed her on time.
And take care of her.
Okay, sir. Okay.
Keeping her clean is not your only job.
Keep the kitchen and floor clean.
We'll come around eight o'clock.
Before that, all the work and leave.
Okay.
Kitchen, floor clean?
-Is Mom fine? -Yes, she's fine.
Okay, you can leave. Come tomorrow morning.
Stop.
Stop sound.
Hey, come on, let's go. I'm scared of her.
Let me see!
Food.
Don't ask me why I'm acting sick. It's personal.
One minute.
Don't ask me why or anything. It's my personal business.
If you don't want to be fired from this job, listen to me.
The others took ten days to find out.
But you found out in three days.
I thought you were easy to deceive.
You shouldn't tell anyone about this.
Be quiet. Open your bag.
My bag?
Bag!
This is my son's watch.
If you tell anyone about this,
I'll fire you by accusing you of stealing it. Got it?
I…
Now…
Good girl.
Come tomorrow.
-Okay? -Okay.
It's been a long time!
Nice, nice?
Will life change and take new route?
Okay.
Thalaivar Style!
Will the bad vibes go away?
Walk without slipping
Can you see the flowers in your path?
Look up
The sun is smiling for you
The sky…

As you rise up
It will hold you
-Bye. -You enjoyed?
I am not. You enjoyed.
Come tomorrow.
-Yeah. -Bye!

As you rise up
It will hold you
The sky…

To make you reach
It will stretch out its hand

The journey is big
We just got back from the hospital.
What did the doctor say?
-Everything's all right. -I know.
Dad must have thought of me.
Talk to him. I'll give him my phone.
Hey, hey. No, no, please.
Just talk for once.
-I'll know when it's time. -How long will you not speak to him?
-No. I… I'll call. -Hello?
Why are you staring? You're definitely not gonna understand what I'm gonna say.
If my father gets sick, I will go home to be by his side.
But not today.
I have to return my dad's money.
I have to earn money for that.
The sky…
Will guide you
To make you reach…
Being separated from my parents is hard for me.
I miss them.

I wanted to come to the city I loved. And here I am.
I am very happy.
I saved you once.
One minute.
Say again.
-I saved you. -I don't understand.
Just three days after you came, my son said we will replace you from this job.
I saved you.
But I told him that I want you.
Thank you.
Okay, let it be.
Why didn't you tell anyone at home about me?
If I did, I'd lose my job.
But it's not only that.
For me, both this job
and me being here are both very important.
So, how did you know I wouldn't tell them?
When I saw you, I trusted you.
Okay, forget that. How did that guy cheat you?
Same. Trust.
Why didn't you have that trust in your son?
When I was young, my husband and I owned a restaurant.
We did earn well and raised our children.
After they grew up, I thought of living separately with my husband.
My children were married and were having babies.
After my husband passed away, my children asked me
to close the restaurant to look after their children.
That made me forget about who I was and what I wanted.
I forgot all about my dreams.
So one day, I made a decision. I pretended to be sick.
They themselves decided how to lead their lives.
However, I'm in a situation where I'm dependent on them.
I don't like that at all.
I shouldn't rely on anyone in this last part of my life.
I feel like I should do something independently.
You said, "In my last days,
I shouldn't be dependent on anyone," right?
That one word keeps running through my mind.
At the eatery my dad ran, garlic rice and garlic pickles were the specialties.
Everyone who came there would say that.
My dad thought about expanding the shop. There wasn't even room to stand.
He wanted to turn this eatery into a big hotel no matter what.
He kept saying, "All this is not for me, it's for you."
"After me, you shouldn't have to be dependent on anyone for anything."
"You need a business of your own," he would always say.
I didn't understand it then, but I understand it now.
My dad wanted me to run the business with him,
but I'm thinking of doing it with you.
Can we start a small restaurant together?
I wanted to say that too.
Same idea.
This is all I have for now.
Take this.
First, we need a place.
This looks expensive.
Looking doesn't cost anything, right?
Why are you standing here? Let's go, come on.
Thank you. Have a nice day.
There are plenty of other shops.
There are many shops. I hope this works out.
-No deal. -Thank you, have a nice day!
Why so much struggle for this? Leave it.
This is not just for her.
What? Yes. That shop is very small.
Help me find a place with a low deposit.
Yes, thank you.
Everyone is rejecting. No space.
-We'll pay the bill, sir. -No.
You don't have to pay today. Today is free.
Why is it free?
Today is our last day here.
On Monday, we are opening a store in another location.
Since you're our last customer, we thought we'd treat you.
Sir, just a minute, I'm coming.
I found it!
They are closing this restaurant today. They are moving to another location.
-Isn't this place nice? -Yes.
Excuse me, sir.
Listen.
We were looking for a place to open a restaurant.
Can you share the contact details of the owner, please?
I need to call them. Thank you very much!
Shenba! Shenba! Shenba! I think we'll get this place.
We can start restaurant here!
This is the same police officer who was there when Shenba was arrested.
Who is responsible here?
Who will pay rent?
I'll pay.
I'll pay it too.
What do you do for a living?
I do something like this. I make vlogs and stuff.
I know you'll pay the rent on time.
Even if it means beating the hell out of a couple of people.
You look like a brawler.
She really does.
-Thank you! -Have a nice day!
It seems like we got it.
-Right? -Yes.
Hey, what?
What is happening?
How do I even name what is true feelings?
What is the point of living Without smiling?
You'll find a way to bring the money, even if you have to beat up a few people.
Yeah. I will do.
Right or wrong, let's try anyway
Life will take care of itself Just chill, stay in the vibe
So what if someone leaves?
So what if someone comes looking?
Time won't move backward Climb along and fly ahead
Every day, a new story along every route
Shenba, let's cut the ribbon.
Wait, my friends are coming.
In entire Korea, I am your only friend.
Look over there, my dear!
Everything's gonna be all right
Let moments drift softly with the breeze
Nothing truly fades, memories remain
Everything's gonna be all right
There won't be any lonely nights
Even music feel shy when it hears my poem
Cheers!
What is this?
Makkoli. This is a traditional Korean drink.
Made with rice.
Daily, the mind gives its own comfort
If you don't have any stains in your heart It'll come to you
Porridge. Boiled porridge?

The silver moon That keeps circling us may fall
Nice.
But even when it falls…

Oh my God!
Shop opening video very good.
How much income you earn?
Honestly, very less.
Who'll watch if you keep posting the same content?
Think a new idea.
Music. Music is famous.
Music! Good content.
Everyone is doing music content. What's new?
Simple.
Don't target your country audience.
Target other country audience.
Everybody listening to Korean music.
Even people from my country, listen to Korean music
and visit here.
Look at me.
Try to add Tamil lyrics in your Korean music.
It's different. Come.
Come on.
Why are we here?
Help make kimchi.
-Help. -Help.
Ask them.
One minute. I'll ask.
Grandma.
All of them, very talented.
Drums, he's amazing. He's too good.
Violin… He is…
I'm impressed, I love it. Too good. Too good.
So why not we make…
a band…
Like K-pop?
Only if you are interested.
Otherwise, no problem.
I think it's a great idea. We can upload the videos on YouTube.
I have a separate channel. I will shoot and edit.
I will do everything.
Heo Jun-Jae TV.
But we need…
-Practice. -Practice.
We need a space to practice. Is that okay?
Is that okay?
Shenba!
Seven o'clock, use this restaurant.
So, seven o'clock, kitchen close.
So, you can practice after kitchen close.
Thanks!
-Hello, Shenba. -Hello, sir?
You are taking good care of my mom. I think she seems happy.
Actually, me and my wife were talking.
We're planning to visit our kids in Busan this weekend.
Would you mind staying here with my mom just for this weekend?
Okay, I'll take care, sir. I'll take care.
Thank you so much, Shenba.
Yes!
-What are you doing? -It's for our safety.
Move.
Safety?
Safety belt?
Along the road My heart wanders somewhere unknown
With a passing drizzle
My chest gets soaked Without a single drop touching me
Amid the crowd, even the shrubs seem To warm themselves in the cold today
Dear, do you know where Mani is now?
At the police station.
The guy he ran away with filed a complaint on him,
and he's at the station now.
If you're okay with it,
we can file a complaint and make his life hell.
Leave it. How is Appa?
He has cheated your dad,
and cheated you too. How are you taking this so lightly?
Take care. I will you call later.
Let's go where the road takes us
Travel time to unlock us
Lost in the city to find ourselves
Let's go with the flow
You got me crazy
Come live it up
Let's show the world
You're on the groove
Show us the moves
We don't know where we're going
But we're on our way
There's no time
To look back at my worries
No time at all
My feet leap and run away on their own
No time
To drown daily inside tears
This is my time
Excuse me!
This one, and this one.
-Kimchi fried rice? -Yes.
Okay.
Enjoy your food!
-Excuse me. -Yes?
-May I know who prepared this food? -It was me.
-Is there anyone else working for you? -No, only me.
It was tasty.
Thanks.
Guys! Listen to this.
"Hello! We are the ANI Team of Dream Hive.
About the short video you sent us,
we appreciate your band's teamwork, music, and talent.
It grabbed our team's attention.
We are eager to meet you all soon."
What?
Shenba.
Such a big music label
saw our music video…
Meeting, meeting.
Congratulations!
Congrats!
Thanks a lot, Shenba. It's really a miracle.
So, what should we do now?
We should start working to make a music video immediately.
We need to finetune our music, visuals, and singing.
For that, we need a director to help us.
I know someone.
Who is that?
My ex.
That boy… Slap?
Is he a director?
-Your ex? -We are done for.
Heo Jun-Jae.
Are they okay? They're sad. Are they okay? Everything all right?
Because we don't have money. We don't have money to make the video.
I called Grandma that day.
The money I kept aside for my dad
was in her safe custody.
I asked her for it.
She said, "It's your money, take whenever you want."
I told her that I'm not giving it to my dad, and instead want to help the band.
She advised me to send the money to Dad.
Without thinking, I said they're more important right now.
She took it the wrong way, and said "Take your money,"
and hung up on me.
If I give it to him, that would only make me happy.
If I give it to the band, they will move up in their career.
It's not that I am asking because my money is already with you.
There's no one else I can ask for help.
Beyond everything, be it money or Dad,
I don't want to hurt you.
Why are you crying?
My dear, dont cry.
It's them. Go! Go!
Money!
Don't forget the money, it's here!
Keep it safe!
Shenba!
Sir.
-Hi, madam. -Shenba.
Hot water, please.
Okay.
Okay, sir. Okay, ma'am. Bye.
Shenba!
What's in your bag?
Let me see your bag.
Ma'am!
-Ma'am. -Whose money?
This is mine, madam.
Whose money?
Honey.
I knew it. I told you something felt off.
Ma'am, this is mine. This is mine, ma'am.
-You steal this from my house? -No, sir.
She's such a thief. A complete thief…
-Sir, this is my money. -Whose money is this? Whose money?
-My money, sir. -Thief.
What's this?
-Ma'am. -What's going on?
Shut up!
This is Shenba's money. Give it back right now.
What the heck?
What do you think you're doing?
Mom, have you been deceiving us this whole time?
You've acted like you couldn't move while planning this behind our back?
Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?
Did you ever treat me like your mom?
What do you mean, I didn't treat you like my mom?
Think carefully.
Whatever.
Pack your things now.
Get out of my house. You're going to Busan.
Shenba! Get out now!
Get out now!
Shenba!
Take your money.
It's your money. Go.
Go!
What do you think you're doing? Why would you give that money to her?
That's Shenba's money. She earned it!
So that's why
you lied to us while running this restaurant.
You became a kitchen worker again and wandered around wearing this?
I raised you by working in the kitchen.
That "kitchen worker" gave you an education!
That's why you should rest!
Just take care of the kids and rest!
I don't want to!
I have my own things I want to do!
We also…
have things we want to do.
We have to work too, you know.
Why do you keep working…
Mom!
Yeon-Ok…
Can you please help? Where… Yeon-Ok?
Yeon-Ok? Okay, wait.
Please.
-Just there. -Thank you.
-Sir, please. -Why you come here?
-Sir, please, sir, one minute. -Go! No!
-Just one time let me see her, sir. -Get out now!
-Get out! -Sir, please.
-Ma'am, one minute, ma'am. Please. -Shenba. Get out!
-Sir, please, sir. -Get out now.
If I see you here again, I will call the police.
Sir!
Shenba…
This is how you were when I first saw you,
but I was not this sad then.
Now, I can't take it.
I'm scared.
Nothing can happen to you.
Nothing will happen.
I apologize if I made a mistake.
I left not knowing whether we'll ever meet again.
Not being able to share our pain with others is what hurts the most.
Shenba.
Are you okay?
Use this to start the work.
I think we can film it now.
Thank you so much, Shenba!
I know this money is very important for you.
But you helped us. Thank you.
Crazily, sing along
Shout it out to the world
We are louder than the dark
Together, we're alive
Never let it pull you down
Let's do a quick make-up touch up.
We believe in you now
Every moment, every day Feel the light inside
Even if the eyes are closed We can see glittering of the atmosphere
The celebration starts at sky Thunders and lightning are celebrating
Even if the beat stops The legs are moving
Endless happiness
Ji-min!
All of us are on fire
Moving to the rhythm, Tiki-ta
We shine because we're together
Everything's all right, sing along
All of us are on fire
Moving to the rhythm Tiki-ta
This is where it all begins
Okay!
We keep rockin' all night
Like there's no end ahead We keep running on and on
When we're together, side by side Together, we go now
Can't nobody hold us down We're moving with the sound
Let yourself get lost in this rhythm Like it's the very last moment
Whatever the city is Whatever the country is
When we step in It will turn into our place
Whatever the language is Friendship understands it
Me and you are enough Heart will celebrate
All of us are on fire
Moving to the rhythm, Tiki-ta
We shine because we're together
Everything's all right, sing along
All of us are on fire
Moving to the rhythm, Tiki-ta
This is where it all begins
Everything's all right, sing along

Massive landslide strikes Kolappalur after heavy rains.
Several homes destroyed. Rescue operations intensified.
Kolappalur was severely affected by a massive landslide
triggered by continuous heavy rainfall.
Causing widespread destruction to homes, roads and agricultural land.
The landslide occurred in the early hours,
catching many residents off-guard
and forcing families to flee their houses in fear.
Local authorities reported that several houses
were either completely destroyed
or partially damaged, leaving many families homeless.
Roads connecting interior villages were blocked…
Oh my, you have not finished your work. Do it fast.
Since you arrived I've been noticing
something is wrong with you. What happened?
I need to tell you something.
I noticed Mani had changed after you decided not to file an FIR against him.
A positive change.
He was pestering me for your phone number,
so I gave it to him out of pity.
When the landslide happened, I was not with Mom and Dad.
He was the one who took them to the camp.
It doesn't mean he has completely changed.
Just talk to him once.
Who is it? Is it him?
Who else?
Someone from Korea.
Take the call.
-No, please. -Why?
If I talk to them, I may feel like going back.
I don't want to go in my condition.
The number you are trying to call is busy.
Shenba!
I want to speak with you.
Shenba!
I tried to reach you.
I will repay what I owe to your dad in installments.
I tried to reach out to say this, but couldn't.
It is not that I tried to convince you to forgive me and accept me.
Even if you forgive me,
I can't forgive myself.
I wanted to see you and say that I'm sorry.
Sorry.
You say whatever you want.
But let me say one thing.
Thanks.
Who I am now is because of you.
Thanks.
Hi, Shenba.
Without saying anything, you went to your hometown.
The first time I saw you at the airport,
you were standing there with tears in your eyes.
I don't know why, but something made me wanted to reach out,
to talk to you,
to help you.
Now I find myself missing you deeply.
See you soon.
Bye.
What's on your mind?
Don't think too much.
Just do what you feel.
For the past two days, many people approached me
and asked me to send you back.
I told them to talk to you directly.
Also, I came to know from Mom that
you tried to return the money you owe me,
but could not do so.
Even that would not have not made me as happy as I am now.
Do you know why?
Four of them travelled from afar to meet you here.
That's what makes me happy.
Do one thing.
Go back, call me, and I will visit there with Mom.
Can't we visit?
Go. Go back happily.
HOUSE FOR RENT 230 MILLION WON
How is she?
She want to… You hear this.
Hi, Shenba, how are you?
I want to talk and share a lot with you.
The days I spent with you were so amazing.
I laughed a lot. I was able to be myself.
More importantly, you helped me fulfill my desire of reopening my restaurant.
A dream come true.
For the first time in a long time, I was comfortable with someone. That was you.
You are like my daughter. I will always be here for you.
I want to see you, Shenba.
I want to talk to her.
She is no more.
I wanted to visit the city I liked the most.
That desire was the connection I had with this city.
Till some time ago, I didn't have a proper identity.
But today, I am Granny's Kitchen Shenba.
This is my identity now.
There is a saying. "Where you think it ends, it begins."
It's true. What I saw as an end,
turned out to be a new beginning.
Crazily, sing along Shout it out to the world
We are louder than the dark Together we're alive
