Dong-gook suddenly becomes an old man? [The Return of Superman / 2017.05.14]

(AD 2057)
(It's another ordinary morning for the five siblings.)
Sian boasts an incredibly large belly.
The baby is about to come out.
(Is Sian about to give birth?)
My baby.
(He lets out a burst of strength.)
(Is this Sian's first childbirth?)
Where did Dad go?
(My precious Sian Junior.)
My baby.
(Come play with us.)
(Exclaiming)
You little rascals.
Who is being so loud?
(Oh, my.)
As you can see,
I have gotten old.
From now on, this old man is your Dad.
I'll be your Dad from now on, okay?
(What in the world has happened?)
With the passage of time, aging is inevitable.
I was curious to see
how the children would react to me aging.
It's mid-season for soccer right now, so it's tiring.
I thought of more relaxing ways to deal with the kids.
I figured they'd help more if I became a grandpa.
I'm applying makeup to get older, not younger.
Try this. Your hair will turn white.
(He transforms into an elder with his wife's help.)
You look like a grandpa already.
Do you think they'll recognize you?
I think we need more wrinkles here.
It looks very natural.
It's almost complete. You're already a grandpa.
- Really? / - Yes, it looks real.
(It's perfect.)
Gosh, I've aged in seconds.
(He jumped a few decades in an instant.)
It's done.
(He completes the look with glasses and hanbok.)
Seola. How's that?
- Seola. / - Stoop a bit more.
A bit further.
- Sua. / - Put your hand behind your back.
(He looks 40 years older.)
This is too funny. I can't do this.
What will I do?
(Donggook's time travel begins.)
(His head bobs side-to-side.)
It's Dad.
I've become an old man.
- But it's you. / - It's you, Dad.
Stop moving, children. I'm getting dizzy.
Stop moving.
- I think it's Dad. / - Gosh, my back.
Gosh. Who will massage my back for me?
- I'll do it. / - My back hurts.
Please massage my shoulders, too.
(The children do as they're told.)
(Observation mode, on)
Who is being disobedient?
Grandpa.
Your hair...
Why do you have so much hair?
What is he saying? I can't hear him.
You have something white inside.
That's because I'm wearing a T-shirt.
My outfit made me old.
This looks just like Grandma's clothes.
You're right.
I've gotten old.
But why is your voice becoming just like Dad's?
My voice...
(He got caught off guard.)
My goodness.
I'm suddenly thirsty. Who will get me some water?
- Me. / - Okay. Please bring me some water.
- Seola surprised me with that question. / - Grandpa.
What should I do? My voice...
(The anxiety of getting caught makes him fidget.)
We got water for you.
Oh, my. Thank you very much.
Oh, no.
This is too heavy for me.
- Please help me drink some water. / - Okay.
(They're working hard.)
(Despite their doubts, they make an effort to help.)
Now, please sit and gather around.
Younger Dad isn't coming back.
Grandpa Dad is here to stay.
(Is our Dad not coming back?)
I'm your Dad. Do you understand?
Grandpa?
No, I'm your father. I just got old.
Please bring back our Dad.
I'm still here. I'm just old now.
Younger Dad isn't coming back.
Grandpa Dad is here to stay.
Please bring back our Dad.
If you all behave, he will come back.
Otherwise, he might never come back.
You're always fighting. Sian, too.
(The two sisters are in deep sadness.)
I will behave from now on.
I will behave.
(He repeats after his sister.)
See that? Sian is acting.
(Caught red-handed)
(Have I been caught?)
Your Dad knows everything.
(You can fool a ghost, but you can't fool Donggook.)
All right. Would you like a horseback ride?
(He suddenly gets up.)
(The two sisters thoughtfully refuse.)
Your back will hurt.
Sian, didn't you stand up to get a ride?
(Can I get a ride, then?)
You got up to get a ride, right?
All right. Since that's what you want, Sian...
(Taken aback)
Gosh, my back.
(Falling)
(That was like a Hollywood action stunt.)
Gosh, my back hurts.
(What is wrong with you?)
Sian, get off.
Gosh, my back.
Since Sian hopped on, I'm drained.
My back hurts.
(Dad, have you really gotten old?)
(Just a few days ago, Donggook was in top shape.)
(Carrying the three of them was easy.)
(Dad was certainly strong not too long ago.)
(But now, he is weak and old.)
Do you understand?
Don't cry now.
(Where is our Dad?)
What's the matter?
Do I seem fake?
- Dad. / - Yes, I'm your dad.
Dad.
Didn't I tell you that men don't cry?
Didn't I say that you have to be strong?
Is it okay to cry or not?
(Sian is tearing up.)
You shouldn't cry.
Did I say it's okay for men to cry or not?
It's not okay.
That's right. You have to be strong. Don't cry.
Look, a tear is about to drop.
(Eventually, tears begin to fall.)
What should you do? Wipe it quickly.
Make sure no one sees. There you go.
We will feed you medicine.
We will take care of you.
- All right. Then we... / - Dad.
(I will take care of you, too.)
- You're all a strong bunch. / - Dad, look.
The Return of Superman, episode 181.
"If I Can Love More Than I Can Express".
(The siblings head out to take a walk.)
- Thank you very much. / - This way, Dad.
- Come on, Dad. / - Goodness.
(Oh, no. He can't fall behind like this.)
- What should I do? / - Dad.
- I should take it slow. / - I was worried.
I have to walk slowly.
Let's head to the playground.
- Are you supporting me, Sian? / - Yes.
Dad.
Dad, the playground is over there.
(Sian is instantly excited.)
(Exclaiming)
(Sian runs to the playground.)
Are you helping me, Sua?
(Seola has already arrived at the playground.)
(Sua dutifully helps her father.)
Are you helping me, Sua?
Walk carefully, Dad.
(It's the playground!)
(She doesn't let go of his hand.)
I walk too slowly. Don't you want to go play?
I do.
This is scary.
I'll hold you.
Come on. Just like that.
(With Seola's help, he climbs up alone.)
Sian, you're doing great.
- You can do it. / - You're doing great.
- Hold on. / - Hold on.
You got it.
- Sian, you did a great job. / - He did it.
(He successfully climbs up alone.)
(I did it!)
- Are you going to push me? / - Yes.
- All right. / - Sian.
Goodness. Seola, you're pushing me all alone.
Dad, are you okay?
- My back is aching. / - That was scary.
- Thank you so much, Seola. / - Okay.
Seola, get on next to me. Shall I push you?
- Yes. / - Would you like that?
- Yes. / - Get on, then.
All right. I'll push you. Here we go.
(But unlike before, he's weak.)
I can't push you well because I'm so weak.
(He struggles to push with his cane.)
I used to push so well when I was younger.
- I know. / - Right?
Dad, you've become so light.
(Dad has become so frail.)
It's because I'm old.
- Grandpa. / - That's right. I'm a grandpa now.
- Are you scared? / - I should get off.
I have to get off.
Don't worry, Sian. I'll hold you.
(Donggook has a lot on his mind today.)
(He slides straight down.)
(It's a soccer ball.)
I want to kick the ball.
Sian, Dad will kick the ball, okay?
- Dad will... / - Let's do it together.
I'm is too tired to kick the ball.
Goodness.
I used to be good at this.
(He was once a very talented soccer player.)
(Kick it hard, Dad.)
My goodness.
(My goodness.)
(Grandpa falls after missing the ball.)
Dad.
Oh, no. Grandpa Dad.
(Gosh. You should've been careful.)
(Pulling with all his might)
(Seola also rushes to his aid.)
(The three siblings pull together to help him up.)
Dad.
- Get up. / - My gosh.
(After safely getting him up...)
(I'll go play now, Dad.)
(Seola follows him.)
They're so thoughtful of their tired father.
They're playing by themselves.
(Meanwhile,)
(Donggook starts juggling the ball.)
(He's very good.)
I had to pretend I couldn't do this.
(It must've been frustrating for you.)
(Shall I pay my sisters a visit?)
(He quickly becomes a grandpa again.)
Hey there, Sian.
(The siblings are all on the swings.)
(He jumps over in front of them.)
(They are too busy playing to notice.)
I don't think you need the Younger Dad anymore.
This is exciting, Grandpa Dad.
I'm too tired to express excitement.
Now give Sua a push.
Seola, who is that grandpa?
(This person?)
Who?
That person.
Who are you talking about? Me?
(Are you referring to me?)
Gosh. Who am I?
(How will she reply?)
- He's our dad. / - That's right.
Did you forget about our dad?
Why is your dad such a grandpa?
He just got old.
Are you ashamed because I'm so old?
(Donggook asks if they're ashamed.)
- No. / - Okay. Do you not like me because I'm old?
(We are not ashamed because you are our dad.)
Do you not like me because I'm so weak?
He's our dad.
(No matter what, he is our dad.)
Despite his transformation, their love hasn't changed.
It's so touching.
Sua, I'm sorry for not being as energetic.
- Are you all right? / - It's all right.
Sua, even if I'm old and frail,
you'll keep loving me, right?
(In their hearts,)
(the children long to always be with him.)
Please bring him back.
Please bring him back.
Thanks to the children's sincerity,
Donggook returns to his normal self.
(His children's sincerity brings him back.)
My dear puppies!
(It's Dad!)
Hey, guys. I can lift you up like this now.
I'm back to my stronger self.
I'm back.
(He shows off his strength to celebrate his return.)
Seola. What would you like?
(They each receive a kiss as a gift.)
All right. Now, hop on.
I'm strong again. Hurry and hop on.
You too, Sian.
My back is okay now. Get on.
Who will take Sian's place?
- Who is going to get on first? / - I will.
Get on the middle, Sian.
(Sua suddenly walks into the room.)
Hey, Sua.
(She searches the room thoroughly.)
All right. You don't have to get on.
Sua.
Sua.
(I knew it.)
Dad, you were wearing those clothes.
You didn't transform.
- What? / - I saw it.
I saw the clothes that made you look like a grandpa.
(I saw the clothes that made you look old.)
What clothes?
I just transformed back from being a grandpa.
(Seola discovers solid evidence.)
It seems he's been caught.
(Seola discovers solid evidence.)
See? It's right here.
You were wearing these.
But I transformed as soon as I took them off.
I transformed to my old self in an instant.
I didn't like you being a grandpa.
(I didn't like it.)
Come here. Isn't it nice to have me back?
(Isn't it nice to have your dad back?)
Honestly, I didn't think they'd get that sad.
My transformation really affected them.
When they asked for me to return,
I felt a bit sorry.
They supported me when I acted weak.
I even received a massage. It was touching.
Aging can't be stopped.
Though I may grow old one day,
I want to always maintain my current mindset.
I want to watch over them until the end.
