I can't accept...
...neither my father's death nor my love for him.
Yeah, I'm back from the hospital.
I'm ok.
Did you put the book in the mailbox?
Ok. I'll go get it.
There are 3 things a person can't hide...
...coughing, poverty and love.
The harder one tries to hide them, the more they rise to the surface.
But there are times when you still want to hide the
I just sit and cry...
...and cry until I can't anymore.
Love is a self-inflicted pain.
I hope you'll find peace within you.
I Mare's warmth and comfort came from the love wit
Love comes to us in different ways but it's also t
I hope your father's book helped you to understand
Hye-gi!
Auntie!
- Have you been good, kiddo? - Yes.
- Are you ok? - Yes, how's dad?
He's at a seminar in Seoul.
Eun-joo, Everyone I loved were always out of my reach...
...and I think I ached for them.
I was 7 when my father left me.
It's dinner time, Cola.
You like Mr. Fish?
I'll be right back. Be good now.
Gosh, it's freezing...
Excuse me...
I saw you at the station tonight.
White sweater, black muffler, pretty hair...
Haven't heard from you in a while...
Il Mare can make you feel so alone.
I felt like that when I was there.
Sung-hyun, wanna have some fun?
Go inside a convenience store and grab a beer.
Drink it down...
Now start running!
Go for a ride on the Viking.
The adrenaline rush is amazing.
This is the moment when...
It's my turn, take a bus to Bomunri.
Get off at Mulmok near the tree-lined boulevard
Do you like to take walks?
It's a beautiful place to just walk alone and think things through.
Just when you start to get tired, You'll see a lit
I go there to drink wine sometimes.
Do you like wine? I heard that wine drinkers are I
...but it doesn't matter to me.
I reserved a bottle of wine to be opened in the year 2000. How is it?
Wine is supposed to get better with age.
I had a great time.
How about you?
I did too. But I felt a little sad coming back alone
I'd really like to meet you, if it's ok with you.
Hey, Cola.
You really think we'll meet?
Can you come down to Cheju Island?
I'm going home next week.
Cola, Cola!
Cola, I'm going to meet Eun-joo.
What'll we do in the meantime?
Are you looking at the photo?
The coral beach is where I want to live.
Once you see it you'll want to build a house on it
Oh, our rendezvous date is March 11, 2000,
...at 3 pm at the coral beach.
It's a Saturday.
Don't forget. I only have a week,
...but you still have over 2 years to go.
Eun-joo...
- Aren't you going to bed? - I'll be right down. Good night
Go to bed, dear.
- Can I help you? - No, I was just...
- Are you building a house here? - Yes, we are
- Will you be living in it? - No, I'm here for the construction.
- Why do you ask? - just curious...
A friend of mine designed it.
Isn't it perfect for this beach?
He dedicated it to his true love.
I see.
I gotta run. Good luck.
I waited for you a long time.
I know 2 years is a long time but I still hoped you
I guess I expected too much again.
I know I shouldn't because it always leads to disaster
But everyone I care about is so far away.
What happened to you in those 2 years?
I hope it was just a slip of memory.
Why didn't I show up?
I wouldn't forget a promise like that.
This is breathtaking.
Sung-hyun's letters were little pieces of happiness
But there still is this sense of emptiness.
Is it because of losing ji-hoon?
Or not being able to meet Sung-hyun?
There's a technical problem so let's take a 30 minutes
Let's get some coffee, my treat.
More animation, the better. It means more work for
And it's great that are many big projects in the w
That's true.
- Sorry, I'm late. - I just got here too.
- Ji-hoon, about our engagement... - Yeah, let's do it this month.
Really?
How about 2 Wednesdays from now?
Ok.
- But why do you want to rush this? - I'm not rushing.
You're the one who's stalling.
Just be patient until my animation project's finis
I thought I could forget him...
...but when I heard his voice again, everything fe
I know he loves someone else...
...but I can't help it.
Please help me stop him from leaving. I'm sorry...
I'm really sorry.
- Hi. - Sorry, I'm late.
- It's ok. Are you hungry? - No but dinner is
- What should we eat? - Whatever you want.
Was I just a stranger to you?
What do you want?
Let's go
Am I only a meaningless faceless stranger to you?
Do you think it was a good idea to let him go?
Of course. True love comes from true independence.
I want to believe it too. I want a career and love
My happiest moments were opening my mail under your Christmas lights.
Eun-joo.
It was really hard out there alone.
I just got too tired and lonely...
...and I wanted someone there.
I'm sorry... We should have went together.
Please help me stop him from leaving me.
I'm sorry...
I'm really sorry.
I'll help you.
Why didn't you tell me how you felt before?
Do you remember your first letter?
You wished me good fortune at II Mare.
Knowing you has been a blessing.
This time I want to return this good fortune to you
Best wishes to you.
Thank you for everything. Good bye...
Excuse me. Where's the department of architecture
- Over there. - Thank you.
My Lord, you're the biggest whiner these days...
Well, life isn't fair.
He dedicated it to his true love.
May I help you?
Sung-hyun dedicated it to you. Eun-joo.
It was a car accident.
Help me stop him from leaving me...
He was on his way to Youido to meet someone.
The driver didn't see him.
It's that house over there.
Please...
Please... hurry.
The letter has to reach him.
It's all my fault. Sung-hyun, please don't go there
Please...
Our last date was at a cafe called morning.
In Youido on March 25, 1998.
Cheer up. I'm not going away forever.
I know, I just feel weird.
I asked you to come with me. It's not easy becoming a voice actor.
Not many people pass the exam.
It's only 3 years... right?
I just feel so uneasy.
Please don't go.
Don't die.
I'm so sorry.
The fact that I don't show up 2 years from now...
...must mean that we weren't meant to be.
And you are..?
I hope you're ready to hear a long and magical tale.
Are you ready to trust me?
