In our refrigerator...
...we have a lot of food.
But I don't ever eat anything that is cold.
When my mommy comes home...
...I'll be eating a warm, home-cooked meal.
But she did not come home.
Even in the very late hour.
Our refrigerator is very big.
We always have red meat.
My mommy knows how to cut the meat off the bone very well.
But I think I would prefer to have orange juice...
...or green apples in the refrigerator.
No.301 - Eun-Jin Bang
No.302 - Sin-Hye Hwang
New Hope Bio Apartment
- Who is it? - May I trouble you for a moment?
What is it?
If I may, I'd like to ask a few questions regarding your neighbor in number 302.
Do you like chicken?
Excuse me? Why, yes.
I just finished frying some chicken.
Have a seat.
- Please have a seat. - Thank you.
If you're curious about the person in number 302, why not ask her directly?
- She's gone. - Excuse me?
The person who lives in number 302 has disappeared.
Please eat. Would you like a glass?
Of course we were close. After all, we're neighbors.
If that's the case, shouldn't you know if she's on vacation...
...or if she had a reason to run away?
I don't know.
Just last week, she was over for dinner.
She didn't talk much, really.
I hadn't noticed it before, but this place looks like a restaurant.
Thank you.
It's the work of interior designer Jung-Hu Choi.
Have you noticed any men frequenting number 302?
No, I haven't.
Not only did Yun-Hee reject food, but sex as well.
Sounds like she didn't enjoy life.
Song-Hee...
But...
- How did you know my name? - Your front door.
- This the woman in number 302, right? - Yes.
According to the guard, she came to your place that night.
He hasn't seen her since.
If she didn't simply run away...
...number 301, Song-Hee, you were the last to see her.
If that's the case...?!
I apologize.
If that's the case, are you implying that I have her hidden somewhere?
No, that's not it.
May I ask what you ate that night?
The dinner you shared with number 302?
Here it is. Mushroom and vegetable porridge.
A little shrimp too.
She threw it all up.
Do you write about that every day?
Yes, I always keep a cooking diary.
- Will you be writing about this? - Of course.
This is by far the best fried chicken I've ever had.
- Really? - Absolutely.
- Thank you. - Have a good night.
"The medicine is for patients that suffer from anorexia.
Anorexia means that...
... one fears food in relation to something like love or sex.
Food becomes a tool that controls love. "
"I never thought about it before...
...but during sex, does the man or woman use more energy?
During intercourse, the woman has a stronger and a lot healthier..."
I have something to tell you.
Yun-Hee never stopped writing.
As yet, she's only written for women's magazines.
But she will be a great author one day.
And...
...even though I'd never seen any man come by...
...sometimes she'd get calls from someone.
From a man?
She never answered those calls.
- Who called her? - I don't know.
This is Yun-Hee, leave a message.
Yun-Hee, please pick up the phone.
Yun-Hee...
...the world is not as cruel as you may thing it is.
Yun-Hee, please pick up the phone.
Yun-Hee, please !
Back then, my apartment was vacant.
Apparently, she frequented the empty apartment.
To Yun-Hee, who likes to be alone...
...my move next door must have felt like an intrusion.
I found this out later.
You made the right choice.
You may know already through our advertisements...
...that the public areas are small compared to your own...
Mr. Choi, please hurry!
Our apartment is designed so that the individual...
How many times do I have to hear this?
Yes, ma'am.
- Please, come in. - Okay.
- Come on in. - Yes, come in, come in.
How do you like it?
As I stated before, the kitchen is most important.
I want everything about it to be big. Like the refrigerator.
Can you tear that part down?
- How many rooms do you need? - Don't need them.
I want everything to match.
I'd like a different floor as well.
This looks like it's pretty new.
We'll take the tile out and work over the actual cement.
What about the wallpaper?
- Take it off and leave it bare. - That's too harsh.
She's like a mannequin.
How revolting. She's like a living skeleton.
She's probably a major slut.
I must feed her some meat.
How about I help you?
Please don't touch.
The only things that matter to you are dishes and cooking.
It must've been terrible to live with my cooking for the past five years.
I'll still miss your cooking.
How did I eat so much of your cooking...
...yet I lost 13 pounds while you gained weight?
I even ate dog meat.
You say you were miserable, but you don't look like it.
- I'm like a pig. - That's true.
You were an amazing woman at one point.
You're a great cook and a great organizer.
And you eat well too. You'd be welcomed anywhere.
Oh, yeah, a word of advice.
Use the money wisely by putting it away.
You can live off the interest.
What should we do about this set?
This was a wedding anniversary gift to you.
Then I'll keep it as a divorce gift.
I can enjoy food and still lower my calories.
I'll never use butter cream or chocolate.
At least I won't have to write about his meals again.
Excuse me...
Thank you for sending your manuscript.
But our readers today cannot relate to such material.
We don't print personal experiences in our serious literature. I apologize.
From the editor in chief of Monthly Literature.
Terms for an Ideal Sex Life
Who is it?
Well, I'm from number 301.
Hello, there.
I hope you like fried flatfish in lemon cream sauce.
It's my first time cooking this here.
Thank you, but I already had dinner.
There's not much here, so you can heat it up later and have a taste.
This is Yun-Hee, leave a message.
Writer Yun-Hee, this is reporter Bae.
Are you a writer?
- Yes. - I'd like for us to be close, neighbor.
Sure.
- Do you live alone? - Yes.
You're very thin. You look like a model.
Enjoy the meal.
Don't wait too long, the taste won't be as fresh.
To new hope in the new year.
To independence in the new year.
To dieting in the new year.
I'm really going to diet.
I'm going to look hot again.
- Drink a lot of water, eat apples, enjoy one hour of exercise...
Mind Control Diet
- only after exercising, you can eat 100g of chicken breast...
It's number 301. Are you home?
It's been a while. Do you mind if I come in?
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
- Please, sit here. - Thank you.
This place always reminds me of a school library.
Have you read everything here?
This is a sausage dish.
I made it up myself.
- You must try a bite. - I'm going to have to refuse.
Especially sausage.
You must not enjoy sex.
Why? Were you raped?
Not me.
For me...
...sex is just like cooking. I can't control my desire for them.
Although there was no love, I still enjoyed sex with my ex-husband.
You always stay so slim.
But me...
...I worked really hard and lost over 20 pounds.
But by forcing myself to lose all this weight...
...it made me realize that living wasn't fun anymore.
So I decided to cook again.
Let's see.
What are you writing about?
This and that. I can't really write about what I want.
There are no good tearjerkers anymore. Why don't you write about that?
Excuse me.
Wake up and go straight to 'Morning Sex'
This is Yun-Hee, leave a message.
Please, I beg you, just leave me alone!
I'm sorry.
What a snobby bitch.
I can't believe she even threw up.
How dare she treat me like a dirty whore.
Oh, please!
Sex is not dirty, love is.
You don't like sausage? Then I'll feed you everything else.
You resent me for losing 20 pounds?
I'll make you weigh 155 pounds even if I have to force-feed you.
Are you leaving?
I'm sorry.
Truly...
...I'm sorry.
I couldn't eat it.
Get in now.
I said, now!
Eat up.
Now, eat.
You have to finish everything.
It's my cooking. I cooked them myself!
I'll go get some plates.
Eat up.
Eat it.
I said, eat it!
Eat up.
Like this.
I even got a divorce because of my cooking.
You hated me from the start. Who do you think you are, throwing away my food?
I can't eat, my body denies it.
Finish everything!
It's not just food...
...my body rejects everything, please!
Now...
...eat like this.
Right now!
Please!
Just like that...
...I wish I could just disappear.
Come in.
Have a seat.
Please, sit.
Earlier...
...I wasn't all there.
Truly...
...I apologize.
I made this specially for you. I think you'll be able to eat this.
Eat up.
Open your mouth.
It's my cooking.
Eat up. Eat up now!
You have to eat this. Chew!
Die, fat pig. Chew and eat up.
This is good meat.
Why are you so late?
Well...
Look, here.
Call if you're running late so I can come get you.
Mom, I'm home.
When did you get home? Wash up so we can eat.
Darn it, I lost count.
Eating is very important.
Goodness, I completely forgot.
Oh, dear.
Which bank did I put it in?
How can you forget such a thing?
This is good for you.
It's finely sliced.
- Thank you. - Goodbye.
Bye.
Mom...
...where am I going?
Mom...
...where am I going?
Don't be saying stuff like that.
Mom, I'm going to die.
Are you talking to me or reading from a book?
Since you came, you have food...
...and you're going to school.
If your dad only knew, he'd probably kill us.
Don't act like a stepchild.
No more. I've heard that for five years.
What are you doing?
Wanna play hide-and-seek?
Maybe later.
- Hello. - Go on.
- Bye. - Bye.
Is she reading again? I brought a video if she's bored.
Watch the store.
So you can nap?
I need to go to the bank.
While you're out, you should walk around.
No!
You're not getting away!
Hello. Hello?
OPEN
- Welcome. - Hello.
Your little one came too. What can I get you?
- Some bacon and neck meat. - Sure.
I'm going to get some tasty meat, just wait here.
What are you doing?
Are you playing hide-and-seek?
- I'd like it sliced thick. - Will do.
I'm just glad I didn't die from that blow to the head.
She should be severely punished.
Are you out of your mind?
- Who is it? - Sorry to bother you.
Have you seen my daughter?
Why would she be here at this hour?
She was playing hide-and-seek in the afternoon and hasn't come home.
I've searched everywhere and was wondering if she might be here.
- Sorry to have bothered you. - Okay.
My mind is always there.
It's not that I'm dieting.
I just can't eat.
It's true.
My body is filled with dirtiness.
So...
...how am I supposed...
...to have a man in me...
...or put food in my stomach?
I just want...
...to disappear.
From now on...
...I'll only make you food that's soothing and comforting.
I'm very good at that.
I guarantee you'll enjoy eating it.
And I'll keep a special journal for you.
Where's the spinach?
Right over here.
I'd like a bagful, please.
I'm sorry.
The ingredients are from our local store. Not the freshest.
I heard spinach is hard to digest.
It's not your fault.
My body can't digest anything.
It's not the taste.
No matter how much I try, it's no use.
You need to rest.
Until you can enjoy my cooking.
I'll continue to write in your special journal.
Cooking this and that...
...what you can eat or can't eat and spewing...
A woman's fate is very odd.
By any chance...
...were you ever divorced?
Who, me?
Why do you ask?
I'm just here...
Hello?
Yeah, it's me.
Yes, I know.
Go on.
According to the reports about the woman...
...she killed a dog.
A dog?
- What about a dog? - Their neighbors told me.
She cooked a pet dog and fed it to her husband.
Who are you talking about, number 301 or number 302?
If it's across, it must be number 301.
That's why he divorced her.
How is that a reason for divorce?
All right.
By the way, what are you eating?
You call that food?
From now on, be more selective in what you eat.
Hi, Fluffy.
Hungry already?
It hasn't been long since you last ate. No peeing on the table, okay?
Hello.
Hello?
I'm looking for Song-Hee's husband.
Are you Jun-Shik's wife?
Yes, I am.
The cooking journal entry for today is very special.
I'm well aware that your cooking progresses every day.
Today's main course is...
I don't need to know. I'll keep the call short.
What?
Because of you my work seems boring. I'm hanging up now.
How is it? Do you like it?
How's the cabbage wrap?
- I like it. - It's not too salty?
It's perfect.
What about me?
I don't know if this is appropriate...
What is it?
I've been thinking about it all day long.
Me too.
You too?
- It was hard controlling myself. - Really?
- Shall we? - Right now?
We must be crazy.
Are you going to just leave me hanging?
It was a favorite of mine.
- Don't go. - It's late.
All you need is 10 minutes.
I can't take that risk.
If you get fired, you can blame me.
- It's me. - What's up?
- I was busy all day. - That's good.
What should I cook for you today?
- Oh, I changed the curtains today. - That's nice.
I really want to redecorate the entire place.
I'm busy right now, but bathe Fluffy when you get a chance.
She smells. I'm hanging up now.
"I'm busy right now."
He's really hopeless.
How's the loach soup? Does it taste good?
- That's real Chinese pepper. - I know.
Doesn't it smell good?
- It's really good, right? - Yes.
I'm really glad.
- There's a lot more loach soup. - No, I'm good.
It's getting harder and taking longer to cook.
Don't bother, make it easy.
- Easy, as in instant meals? - Yes.
That's not a real meal.
"How is it? Does it taste good? How is it? Does it taste good?"
Those words have become a burden, the pressure of having to enjoy it.
I'm going to do some work.
Jun-Shik.
You've changed.
You've been saying that for over a year.
How could I not change?
So you're admitting that you've changed!
He's changed.
Jun-Shik.
I made some dumplings. You didn't eat well earlier.
If you didn't enjoy the meal, it's not my fault.
The ingredients are to blame.
If you don't like dumplings, I can make something else.
Please!
Please.
You get lonely by yourself.
Talk of love and you're thinking of a potential wife. And you?
She has to be pretty.
And she has to be skinny.
Welcome.
Wow.
How brave she is.
Hyun-Suk, come here.
Come to this side.
-And what is your name? -My name is Hyun-Mee.
Hyun-Mee, do you like Seotaiji and Boys?
Not really.
- Hello? - It's your mother.
Hello.
- Congratulations on your anniversary. - Thank you.
Are you uncomfortable?
Please turn off the TV or lower the volume.
I called to let you know something.
You know my friend Choi? Well, he's importing this super diet juice.
It's not hazardous to your body so I'm going to send you some.
You don't even have a baby yet, look at you.
Being overweight can't help in bed either.
I wouldn't live the way you do.
Hello, are you listening? Start taking care of your body.
Is your husband home yet? Hello?
- Hello? - I'm hanging up now!
Jun-Shik.
I'm sorry I'm late. I know it's our anniversary.
I've been busy all day.
Of course you were, busy consorting with a whore.
Why are you acting vulgar?
Yes, I'm a pig. All I do is eat all day.
I think we should...
...celebrate tomorrow.
Where's Fluffy? Fluffy.
You should've married Fluffy.
Oh, that's a gift...
...from friends for our anniversary.
Where are you, Fluffy? Fluffy!
Fluffy! No!
What the hell kind of person are you?
You can't even take care of Fluffy!
How dare they think I beg for sex?
Fluffy.
It's too late for today, but we should eat lightly in the morning.
That doesn't mean I'm going to skip your meals.
Lately, people at my work...
...they eat McDonald's or udon from the street for breakfast.
What's your point?
Do you buy women from the street too?
Today's meal will be the last I cook for you.
I used your favorite ingredient.
I'll make it the way you want it.
I need money.
I'm going to cook better and live the way I want.
My ideas of happiness were trivial.
Clean silverware and crystal glasses grazing are music to my ears.
The music of Chopin, wearing dark red lipstick...
I thought I could enjoy this happiness.
Her only capabilities are eating, cooking and thinking about sex.
By being with him, my dreams have been crushed.
His lack of love and care towards me made me turn to food...
...to fill the void of loneliness...
Your Honor.
Please think about this.
I was constantly fed and then had to praise the food.
I couldn't take it.
The important question is how I could've gained all this weight.
This lady is crazy!
First she cooks our pet. What next, a human?
Just the thought creeps me out. It's a miracle I'm still...
Please, stop right there.
You're still alive.
And you did consume her wholehearted cooking...
...for five whole years.
Aside from alimony, she will be compensated for her efforts.
If we had stayed together...
...I would've thought about killing him.
How would he taste?
Probably not that good.
But...
...how did you come up with the idea of cooking Fluffy?
You always want to try new ingredients when cooking.
It was tough pulling the hair off.
With the hair gone and the head cut off, there wasn't really much left.
You know Maltese dogs, right?
After much thinking, I decided on stew.
It's perfect for one serving.
My husband at first...
...enjoyed eating it, until he found out.
I'll make you some juice.
Number 302 vanished somewhere, somehow.
Drink this and leave.
Thank you.
There is absolutely no dish for Yun-Hee to eat.
Not even something new.
That time...
...do you think...
...Fluffy suffered a lot of pain?
What do you think?
Look at me, I'm still alive.
Why?
Don't I look tasty to you?
So does this mean the end to their loneliness?
- Who is it? - It's number 302.
I'll start a cooking journal for you, Song-Hee.
I guarantee you'll enjoy eating.
