Why do you get so excited every time you see the ballet?
Isn't it wonderful?
Just once I would like to see one in person.
I wonder if this troupe will come to Korea?
Would you like to go see it over there?
- Really? - Really!
- We're going to Europe, then? - Yes.
And we'll really get to see the ballet, too?
We'll watch the ballet until we're sick of it!
- But what about your restaurant? - I sold it.
- Why? - To go to Europe.
Really?
No! Lies, lies!
It's all lies!
What a liar!
Want me to prepare a bath for you?
Sounds great.
- Did you bring your medicine? - Yes, I've got it here.
Did someone move in?
Get in the house. I'm going.
Didn't you forget something?
- You're insatiable! - That's an expression of affection.
Why don't you get a boyfriend?
What a hopeless class this is!
Teacher, please. Help us wake up.
You come on up here!
I'll wake you up with a slap to the head!
Teacher, please tell us about your first love!
Haven't you loved someone like the crossing guard did?
Oh, you poor girls, do you really believe that story?
Stop talking and write this down.
(A 100-day anniversary ring!)
How are you doing in class?
Alright.
Because you came in the middle of the semester ...
... it will be harder to make friends, but they'll come around.
I wouldn't worry about it.
So this is Mina?
If you're feeling uncomfortable ...
... don't hesitate to come to me ...
... and if you have any questions at all, don't be afraid to ask.
Now, go!
Well ...
... I do have one question.
You mean about Kisu, the crossing guard?
Oh, Kisu? The man with the flags ...
... in front of the school?
When he was in high school ...
... he liked a girl in our school ...
... and one rainy day ...
...when Kisu was waiting for her ...
... she was struck by a car while crossing the street and was killed.
Since then, he has stood in front of our school, directing traffic.
When it rains, he bursts into tears.
Isn't that just a story that students tell?
I suppose so.
- Excuse me. White wine, please. - Yes, just a moment.
Jukja asked a fortuneteller ...
... if she would find a boyfriend before she died ...
The oracle said ...
... she would find a boyfriend that winter.
So Jinju asked the same question ...
... and the fortuneteller said ...
"Why don't you just watch soap operas instead?"
Being in love is a nice thing, isn't it?
You don't get hungry or cold even when you don't eat in winter.
You're absolutely right. We had those days too, didn't we?
- Misuk. - What?
You know about Mina.
Don't say anything if it's about Mina.
I think about it enough as it is.
But still, why isn't she in the hospital?
There's no cure for her.
So, why stay in the hospital?
But there could be a miracle.
Miracle? Yes, there could be ...
... but I think it's already a miracle that Mina has lived until now.
Mina has been in and out of the hospital since she was born ...
... with operations and injections ...
... all over her body.
Now they say there's no more hope.
I can't make her suffer more ...
for her few last months.
You sure you won't regret it after Mina's gone?
I will drink ... cry ...
... and call you.
Don't tell me! Are you watching that again?
It's so embarrassing!
What?
Naked guys dancing like that ...
I don't know where to look!
Just don't look down there!
How? It's impossible not to look.
Protruding ... and so noticeable!
I'm still a woman, you know.
I'm leaving now.
Lock the door!
I'm sorry, did that hurt? I'll get you some medicine.
Can I get a cigarette?
Cigarette!
Take off your headphones ...
... and look at me!
Will you give me a cigarette?
I'll pay you double.
I just moved in downstairs.
Shouldn't you say, "Nice to meet you", or something like that?
I need a light, too!
No lighter?
I'll return it as soon as I use it.
Interesting. Isn't that a Navy insignia?
- Throw it to me! - Next time.
Hello!
Hello.
I'm your new neighbor downstairs.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, I see.
About yesterday, thank you. I'll give it back to you soon.
- You lent him something? - Uh, yeah.
He's good-looking.
You weren't looking at his face, I guess.
Come on, he's exactly your type.
If you like him that much, you can have him.
Ah, don't BS me!
Oh, there's a present for you in the back seat.
A present?
- A cellphone? - Don't you like it?
Hello.
What?
Since this is your first time I'll give you a break ...
... but if you call me for no reason I'll stop carrying this phone.
The total is W29,000 ($28).
Isn't it a bit warm for a mitten?
Don't you have a bag with handles?
Hey, troublemaker!
You look like an exemplary student, though.
Sneaking a smoke behind your mother's back?
Give me back my lighter!
Why? Planning some more undercover smoking?
Why are you picking on me?
That's what guys do when they find a girl they like.
You know what, I studied psychology a little.
Human beings have a tendency to solve problems unconsciously.
If someone makes you feel bad ...
... you keep thinking about them.
Like how school boys pull ...
... on the skirts of girls they like.
Those little kids know that instinctively.
It's all in psychology books.
Wasn't that on TV? I saw that program, too.
Huh? It was on TV, too?
Oh, I forgot your lighter again.
Take this, instead of the cigarette that I borrowed yesterday.
No I want my lighter back!
Hey, don't be such a grump! This isn't just candy, it's my heart.
Hello, my princess! Did you have fun today?
"Princess" ... do you think I'm a baby?
Of course, dropping things all over. Are you missing something?
Someone found it and gave it to the janitor.
Keep it safe! It's expensive.
Save my number and my restaurant number in it.
It will store up to 1,000 phone numbers.
I don't even know 10 numbers.
Well, aren't you going to answer it?
- Hello. - Hi, trouble- maker!
Wrong number.
Don't hang up! I'm really sorry about today.
Give me a chance to apologize.
What number did you dial?
Ah, is your mother there?
- You got the wrong number. - Wait, hold on!
Open your window in an hour. It's important, please!
Wow, this phone is pretty cool! It's a camera, too.
Mina... don't you want to fall in love?
Misuk, wake up.
Okay, here is a picture of a crazy woman.
When I was your age, that's all I could think about.
Where I could find a sexy guy? Where I could find my love?
So was it successful?
Of course! My romantic life was really prospering back then.
My dating life was always packed and crowded.
It was awesome.
That's your problem, Misuk ...
... confusing love and business.
And you want to get back just as much as you give.
Real love's not like that.
It's just being happy without expecting anything in return.
You read too many of those romance comic books.
In my opinion, Love is like this...
Someone you love gets hit by a car and killed one rainy day.
After that, you can't leave the accident site.
You go there to direct traffic, thinking about your love.
Never missing a single day, crying when it's raining ...
What morose comic books you read!
Anyway, I will definitely find the man of my destiny ...
... and fall madly in love with him.
When I finally introduce him to you, please be opposed to him ...
- ... even if you like him. - Why?
Because it'd be cool.
I will have an immortal love that overcomes all obstacles.
A love that can't be defeated ...
... by parents, nations or even death.
What about you? Have you ever had a passionate love?
Of course.
- My father? - Mmm-hmm.
Do you still love him?
I don't know. I've forgotten everything.
- Lies! - It's true!
- You still think about me, don't you? - Once in a while.
- What kind of thoughts? - Thoughts of how much I owe you.
Do you think Mina is a debt?
Mina is a gift. The greatest gift you ever gave to me.
Then what do you think you owe me?
Happiness.
I owe you my happiness. And I owe Mina, as well.
There's no way I can repay you ...
... but I can reward Mina, so I'll do as much as I can for her.
But I need your help.
Help our Mina to only know happiness ...
... until she goes to you.
"Hurry and open your window or you'll regret it!"
"Tonight, I'll wait for you. Same time, same place."
Hey! Hey, there! Room 306!
Hey, you! What are you doing there?
Uh ... there ...
There's a ... m-mouse ... on the window ledge.
A mouse at night ...
What a strange boy ...
You know ...
You knew my hand was like this before you gave birth, right?
I read that people get abortions ...
... for much smaller problems.
Why didn't you do that?
Mina, you're all grown up now, right?
There's one secret that I've never told anyone.
I didn't want to tell you in a time or place like this.
What is it? Tell me.
The truth is, your father ...
... isn't your real father.
Your hand looks just like your father's did.
Your father was an alien.
- Get out! - Fooled you, didn't I?
- No way! I didn't ... - I had you going!
You totally believed me for about 30 seconds.
Cut it out!
Maybe three seconds.
Someone left this at the door Is it yours, Mina?
Oh, my!
"This turtle cannot live without its mate ..."
"... and I've taken the other one hostage."
"If you don't want the turtles to die ..."
"... surrender now."
Aw... it's so sweet!
Come on in!
Why are you standing there?
You think I set a trap?
What kind of house is this?
This apartment was just a studio to start with.
The owner let me rent it cheap provided he could leave his stuff here.
Say, why are you empty-handed? Where's my turtle?
Wasn't it a present for me?
A present? That was just bait!
Then I spit the bait out ...
... so give me back my lighter.
What a heartless neighbor!
Okay, wait a second.
Where did I put that lighter?
I can't find it right now. Use this one instead.
"Call, when you are lonely."
Oh, hey, that's not mine.
This must be my friend's. What a clumsy guy he is.
Here it is. "Heran Erotic Massage"
Wait a sec! Where did I ...
I don't care. I just want mine back.
I'm sure I put it somewhere safe.
It's really important to me! Find it right now.
Don't worry, I'll find it.
I don't believe what you say, Mister, just find it!
"Mister?" I'm just a few years oIder than you.
Call me "big brother". Say it ... "bro-ther..."
Hmm, you don't trust me at all, do you?
Wait ...
Here!
Take this as a hostage, to go with the one in your house.
I wanted to use them as bait, but now they are real hostages.
Wait a little, I will come to save you soon.
Don't make any trouble.
Oh well, at least she won't eat you or anything.
By the way, what was your number again?
I memorized it from your phone the other day ...
... but I forgot it.
What for?
Don't you want your lighter back?
- (011) 9262-8979. - Hold on! Wait!
What was it?
(011) 9262-8979.
(011) 9262-8979 ... (011) 9262-8979 ...
What on earth are you doing now?
It's okay. Don't you watch TV at all?
The TV ad says you can remove stains like this easily.
Huh? Isn't this supposed to work?
Erased! I think it's working now!
It should be. What do you think we're doing this for?
Oh crap! Crap!
Why the hell did you do this?
He's insane.
I saw them just wipe it off on TV.
This must be a different kind of floor.
Of course it is, silly!
Only new floors have that feature.
He's not crazy. He's just stupid.
- How stupid? - Wait a minute ...
... isn't this Mina's phone number?
Why did you write this?
What?
Right!
"How come Mina's number is here?"
What the ...
Oh! I take photographs!
She's so pretty, I was going ...
to ask her to be my model.
- Oh, It's nothing ... - Hey, hey!
Well, isn't that a typical way to seduce a girl?
- No! It really isn't! - You're right!
He's trying to seduce me! The photo thing is just an excuse.
I knew it! It's so obvious!
Once you start taking photos, he'll ask you to do a ... um ...
That ... what do you call it?
A "noodle" model?
You know ... a model that poses naked?
A nude model?
Yes, a nude model!
Well, on the other hand ...
... having a picture of you all young and pretty wouldn't be that bad.
Really? Then I should do it?
Um, nice model. Nice expression.
Give me that.
- No? - I don't smoke in the daytime.
You suck at delinquency.
Give it to me.
I'll show you.
Let me show you the easiest way.
Set this on "P", then it's automatic.
Hold it at an angle, like this.
And then press this button to focus.
And after the "click" sound ...
... just press the shutter. Try it!
Why take my lighter when you've got so many already?
Didn't you smoke yesterday?
That's none of your business.
Did you or did you not think of me when you were smoking?
You did!
You've started thinking about me every time you smoke!
It's because I have your lighter.
What do you think of my "tension-creates-attraction" theory?
No wonder you've got so many lighters in your house.
Okay, you deserve to meet me. I agree!
Who deserves whom?
You and me.
How dare an old guy like you say such a thing to a young girl!
I'm only a little older than you.
Besides, I treat people 10 years older or younger like my own age.
Then I should treat you like my age too?
I think I had crush on you from the first time I saw you.
I'm going home now.
I heard that the downstairs boy came by today?
Boy?
How would I call him then? Downstairs "fellow"? Downstairs "dude"?
I like that.
I heard he gave you turtles? What's the name?
"Neil" and "Armstrong".
What?
I mean the downstairs "dude".
Lee Young-Jae.
- What does he do? - Takes photographs.
What a handsome guy doing such a cool thing!
Which means he's just a slacker.
Well, he seems like a nice guy. You know I have an eye for men.
I can introduce you if you want.
Never mind. You keep him!
I'd rather buy an egg and wait for it to become a chicken to eat ...
... then wait for that dude to grow up.
Kang Mina!
It's going to rain today.
Hi, my Mina!
What's up with you visiting me here?
To maintain my popularity.
Then why didn't you come to the hospital to see me?
Did you have to bring me out here?
You don't even want to set one foot in the hospital?
I even wish I could rip off your nurse's uniform.
No, not today!
I'm wearing an old bra today.
It's raining!
I don't have an umbrella.
I have one. I'll walk with you to the hospital.
Mmm.
Hey, you still don't have a boyfriend?
Except for eating meat, I'm practically a monk.
Then you've never had a boyfriend?
Well, can I call them "boyfriends"?
Why do you ask, by the way?
Have you got a boyfriend?
Huh?
No, I was just ...
You really don't need to feel insecure.
Don't worry, just do what you want to do.
There are no right answers. Follow your feelings.
- That's the right answer. - Okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry but some customers just ...
... showed up without reservations. Let's go some other time.
How about these flowers, miss?
- Over there! - Okay.
Gosh, I am late! I've got to go. TaIk to you later, bye!
Hello?
- What are you doing now? - Going home.
What will you do at home?
I've got lots of time. Is there anything you want to do with me?
I want sacks.
What? Sex! Hello? Hello?
Mina?
Well ... that is ...
After we've been dating for a while.
After we're really close ...
I mean, when two people really want each other.
This is so embarrassing, but I should be considerate.
Oh god ... uh, but if you want to do it, I'm sure I'd be good ...
Tramp!
No, I'm not! It really sounded like that!
And who call them "sacks" these days?
The way you talk to me has been disrespectful lately.
Didn't you say you treat most people like they're your age? Oh! My bus!
Oh my! Look what you did! What am I going to do?
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. It was an accident.
I apologize.
Take off your glove.
- It's okay. - It's all sticky!
Is it ticklish?
It may look strange, but it works fine.
Blast all the humans with your death ray!
Hey, don't step on my head!
- What are you doing under my legs? - Enjoying the view.
Hey, you hungry?
Here's a donut for you!
Can't you do it better? It can't make it up here!
Hey! What are you doing up there?
Hey Mina! You ran off.
Why did you leave me alone?
The guard saw your empty window ...
... and treated me like a prowler.
You should thank me for ...
not shouting "Stop, thief!"
Hello, ma'am. How are you?
This is for you.
Oh, I am sorry to trouble you so often.
You must be very tired?
Yes, I'm a little worried about ...
... the young man downstairs.
Single guys living alone often ...
... have booze and girls on their minds.
It gets on my nerves.
- I don't ... - Take care!
Oh, you're leaving? Take care!
You shouldn't look down on them.
I couldn't help you even if they ran away.
Don't you think they feel all cooped up in a goldfish bowl?
They should get some fresh air sometimes.
Am I that pretty?
Well you have a disease too. A "princess disease".
Wow! It's been a long time since I've seen one of these.
What is it?
You don't know this? It's a hopscotch grid!
By the way, Misuk and I are going to Europe.
Only two young girls together?
Oh, Misuk is my mother.
You're so sassy.
How can you call your mother by her name?
Is she your stepmother? I've not heard this story.
What are you, some kind of private investigator?
Oh, no. You know how the maid talks sometimes.
Since I was sick and in the hospital ...
... instead of going to school -
What's that got to do with using your mom's name?
- so I had no friends.
The kids in my ward ...
... were scared of my hand.
By the time we got used to each other ...
... and became friends ...
... they'd get well and leave the hospital. Or they died.
How about you?
I was in and out of the hospital.
Once, after a big operation, I was in a coma for months.
Even if I'd wake up ...
... I'd just catch some other disease.
Do you know what my nickname was among the nurses?
"The 13th Floor Fixture."
How about now? Are you okay now?
- Yes, clearly. - No, you're dead!
What?
You're dead if you step on the crack!
You were saying?
I was always complaining about having no friends.
So one day, Misuk entered my room ...
... wearing pigtais, hoIding a doll ...
... and she said, "Hi, my name is Misuk. Can we be friends?"
- What a nice mother! - I like her, too.
Good night.
Why such a dutiful kiss?
I'm being nice to you, and you're complaining?
Wait a minute. You look different.
Unnatural. Do you have a boyfriend?
You've been practicing your kissing, haven't you?
What? Knock it off!
Well, I see I've struck a nerve! Who is he?
I said there's nothing to taIk about.
Anyway, good luck. Don't be too difficult like you are with me.
Be nice to him.
I'm surprised! Hooking up with boys ...
It's not like that!
Aquarius? Sorry, but you'll have bad luck with boys all month.
No way! I've got 3 blind dates next week.
Really? You know, I'm an expert on juggling guys.
Can't I go there instead of you?
Why you? I shouId go.
Stop fighting. What's yours? Let's decide from the sign.
I'm a Capricorn.
You go! You've got terrific luck with love.
Of course!
- No way! It's the same sign ... - Hey ...
Can I see the Zodiac too?
LUCKY COLOR: ORANGE. LUCKY ICON: PINK HEART.
Wow, your maid is really a fantastic cook!
Did you take this picture yourself?
Yes, in Hawaii.
Hawaii?
I went there as an assistant making a fashion catalogue.
Hmm ... not bad! It must be nice to travel.
But Hawaii's a little stale.
Hawaii is "stale"?
How about Europe, then?
I began to like Hawaii so much after I visited there.
So I studied about it, and now ...
... I am an expert on Hawaii.
I even studied the Hawaiian language.
"Ohno" means "delicious".
Thank you is "mahalo".
You always listen to this song, don't you?
Yes, I like it.
Don't you think the lyrics are a bit too depressing?
Really? What do they mean?
Well, it's just ...
Will Neil and Armstrong become big like this turtle one day?
Hey, is this brain totally empty? Hello! Anyone home?
They're a totally different species.
Look here! Even where they live.
This one lives in the sea, but NeiI & Armstrong live in a fish bowl.
You're so ignorant.
Then is that why you look ugly? Because you're so smart?
Now I know why I liked him a lot from the beginning.
Is your father an alien, too?
Before the main shooting ...
... I need to get some rough cuts first.
I'd like to take some pictures here before rehearsal starts.
Shall we?
- Wait a minute, please. - Yes.
WouId you like to try this on?
- Oh, no thanks. - It's okay.
You can try it.
- Shall we start now? - Sure.
Now, hold this bar, and try this.
And move your foot like this.
Repeat.
Now, shall we try?
Why don't you take off your glove? It's slippery.
Oh, okay, yes. Holding the bar ...
... like this.
Hey!
Miss! Are you okay?
Mina! Mina! What happened?
I don't know! She just -
Mina! Are you okay? Mina!
Look at me! Call an ambulance!
Mina! Mina ...
Are you okay now?
Where am I? The hospital?
No, you're at home.
Then why is she here?
There's no need to be rude.
I came to see if you're okay.
Are you going to put me in the hospital?
She says you don't need to. Don't worry.
The hospital is full anyway. You wouldn't get in even if you begged.
This IV is to rehydrate and give you vitamins. Now get some sleep.
Misuk, why don't you go and work? Don't stay home because of me.
Okay.
You can go now, too.
I'll pull this out after it finishes.
Yes, let's leave together.
I'll give you a ride.
Yun-Jung!
You think I'm wrong for discharging Mina ...
... from the hospital like that?
No.
The reason I let Mina stay at home is because ...
... I want to be with her ...
... even if it's for just one more day.
Mina ...
... when she was hospitalized again last year ...
... she cut her wrists.
When I got back to her room after admitting her ...
... her sheets were covered with blood ...
So ...
... please don't accuse me of not doing anything for her.
Ah, this is nice!
You see? Isn't it nice out here?
- Aren't you cold? - I'm alright.
I feel much better now.
I was itching to go out after staying inside all day.
It seems that you enjoy going out a lot these days.
Hey, why don't you stand up and push me?
Hey, I'm the patient.
Right, you stay there and I'll push you.
Weren't you thinking I'd say that? Stop nagging and push me.
- So this why you gave birth to me? - Yes.
How did you feel wearing ballet slippers today?
It was okay.
I think ballet isn't as elegant as I thought before.
It's very hard work.
That's why I didn't want you to do ballet.
They say 30% of ballerinas are in chronic pain.
Okay.
So don't work too hard.
And don't skip any of your medicine. If you start to feel anemic -
Boring. Stop it.
Okay, I'll stop.
But please keep pushing me.
No.
If you push me, I will take you to Europe next month.
Next month?
- What about school? - You can skip it.
That doesn't sound like something a mother wouId say.
How about going to Hawaii instead of Europe?
Why? Didn't you want to go to a ballet performance in Europe?
There's something I'd rather see in Hawaii.
Really? Then we could go to Hawaii. It'd be cheaper anyway.
You know, I've been thinking about it and ...
... I don't think we want to go as part of a tour group.
Of course not. That's not our style.
But it's dangerous for two pretty young women to go by themselves.
Especially as my beauty is so internationally renowned.
Obviously.
And if it's just us, we can't take pictures of us together.
You're absolutely right.
Then, maybe we should take someone with us?
Yes.
As a carrier and bodyguard. As a photographer and tour guide.
Can you come with us?
- It would be an honor. - Not you.
My pleasure.
- It's finished. - Thank you.
You see? I knew it would be great.
That's because my face is pretty.
- Now, your turn. - Oh, I'm ...
Why don't you have a seat anyway?
PIease make it really pretty.
I'm a real genius to think of this!
Such a great idea!
This is your first manicure, right?
"Pedicure." It's for the toes.
Give me a break.
Whatever it is, this is the first time for me too.
Oh, my lighter!
I finally got it back.
Hey, let me use it again to light a cigarette.
No way! Here, I'll light it for you.
Where did you get that?
It's my father's.
He didn't give it to me, actually. Misuk was hiding it and I found it.
Was he in the navy?
Yes.
What kind of man was he?
We never talk about him.
Misuk and I ... felt we'd just get too depressed.
Hey, I think I will feel awkward whenever I have to pee.
Why?
Because you'll always be watching!
Ah!
Cold! Too cold!
You'll end up an alcoholic if you keep drinking like this.
No, I'm okay. Really.
You seem worried.
No.
Why would I be worried when I have such a pretty daughter?
My Mina. Will you live well without me?
Why? Do you want to marry again?
Will you?
Worry about yourself. I'll be fine.
Yes, you'll be fine without me.
Well ... do you like the downstairs "dude"?
I don't know! What kind of silly question is that?
Tell me. I'll help you.
It's not like that.
Then what is it?
It's just ... he's fun to be with and he's nice to me.
How nice! I should thank him.
Mina, have a great time in Hawaii.
There's no way I can repay you ...
... but I can reward Mina, so I'll do as much as I can for her ...
... so you must help me.
Help our Mina to only know happiness ...
... until she goes to you.
Help me ...
Kang Mina!
Mina!
Hey, Mina!
Mina!
You ... your eyes are puffy?
- I drank some beer last night. - Alone?
You drank alone, too.
Wow. What a nice surprise!
Oh, right, it'll rain today. Hold on, I'll get an umbrella.
Mina, your umbrella!
Hey, excuse me.
Can you call Mina, please?
- That girl? - Yes.
Something happened in the class?
That poor guy is so sad.
Losing his love, being left alone ...
... consumed by love.
He is a very lucky man. Not everyone can have that kind of love.
And he'll live with that love forever in his heart.
Mom!
Yes?
If I lie here like this I can only see the sky.
I feel like I'm on an airplane.
You've never been on an airplane.
Do you think I can?
We will go to Hawaii soon.
Right.
Isn't there a regular customer ...
... in this restaurant who likes you?
Don't you know? All the guys who come here, come to see me.
No, I mean it. Someone who's serious.
Someone who's nice, who you could marry.
Now, with a little make up you look nice ...
... but what will you do after you get old?
Children are no use when you get old.
What? Now you have a boyfriend, you don't need mom anymore?
It's just ...
I think you'll be lonely ...
... after I get married and leave.
Don't worry.
I do worry.
If you insist.
I'll find a nice man soon. Someone kind, with money.
Are you sure you'll call him "dad"?
No way! I don't even call you "mom", only Misuk!
I'll just call his name. "Hey, Bubba!" Like that.
No! Never!
You will call him, "Leonardo!"
What!
Mmm, the smell of dawn.
Are you sleepy?
Of course. I just fell asleep.
- What? - This ...
This is a present for a good kid who got up early.
.. and ...
... take these too.
Why? Don't you like them?
I don't need hostages anymore.
Now, I trust you.
Let's take a picture together.
- Now? - Yes!
I'm very happy right now.
Right at this moment.
I want a witness who'll testify that I was happy.
You, Neil and Armstrong, all in a picture together.
But looking like this?
Now is the best you've looked since I've known you.
Hurry! Hurry!
Mina! What are you looking for?
A sea turtle.
Where is it, anyway?
Why? You'll go to Hawaii to see one soon, anyway.
Didn't you say it would be hard to find one, even in Hawaii?
Of course, not all people can find a sea turtle, but I'll help you find one.
No matter how difficult, so don't worry.
The sea turtles aren't on display. They're having their regular checkups.
Why so disappointed?
I'll show you a real one soon.
One not locked up in a tiny aquarium ...
... but one in the real Pacific.
Let's get something nice to eat.
Mina! Mina!
That poor guy is so sad.
Losing his love, being left alone ...
... consumed by love.
Now, I trust you!
I want you to take this back.
I should've noticed something was wrong from the beginning.
I thought it was a lot of money just to spend time ...
... with your daughter and take pictures of her.
If I take this, it means ...
... I met Mina because of money.
I can't do that.
If I do that, I could never see her again.
Sorry.
I am sorry. Really sorry, Young-Jae.
Unlike what most people think, Hawaii has distinct seasons.
These distinctions are clear to Hawaiians.
It is summer when the ripe mangoes begin to fall ...
... and when you smell ginger flowers in the wind.
The signs of winter are the rains ...
... and the huge waves that surfers love.
The people who live in cool places ...
... such as Kauai and Maui Islands ...
... gather by the fire around Christmastime.
Hawaii has a warm climate all year.
Rainy from October to March, dry from April to September.
However, the weather changes only slightly between seasons.
So you can enjoy sunny skies most of the year.
You can often find sea turtles ...
... along the coast ...
... and the turtles are waiting ...
... for Mina to come ...
... and see them.
Why don't you get some rest? I'll stay here.
Let's go, Misuk.
What are we going to talk about today?
Oh, yes.
We'll go to the West Beach and see the "green flash" sunset.
You can only see it on a totally clear day ...
... at the last moment when the sun sinks beneath the horizon.
Some say it will give you love.
Some say it grants wishes.
What is this?
- Is that a real human hand? - It's creepy.
Yeah, it's creepy. Let's go!
We've graduated.
All the good seasons are gone.
Now what am I going to do for a living?
Whatever you do, just take care of yourself.
Broken arms and broken legs ...
Pathetic!
Should we commit some kind of wild scam together?
- What? - To make some money.
I am so sorry.
I know that I did a terrible thing to you.
PIease understand it as a selfish mother's love ...
... and forgive me ...
... and one more ...
... this ...
"To my dear Young-Jae, who shared the happiest time of my life."
"To my dearest Mom ..."
"I know it must've been hard for you to do this for me, thank you."
"I don't know how many more days I have ..."
"... but I'll be happy."
"I want to give this to you as a present, before I leave."
"I'm happy now."
