What kind of pill is this?
It's that thing you call Viagra, right?
You go dry and dress yourself!
No one else will from now on!
Ms. YANG Mija!
Here!
Go to Room 1, please
Okay
Hello
Please have a seat
Oh, those are camellias!
I just love camellias
Flowers of winter, flowers of pain...
Are camellias flowers of pain?
Yes, red flowers represent pain
White is virginity, yellow is glory
I've been studying lately to write poetry
Poetry? Are you a poet?
No, I'm just trying to write a poem
Did you come alone?
Nobody's with you?
I came by myself. Why do you ask?
I'd prefer talking to someone else
Why? Is there something wrong?
The test results say...
you've got Alzheimer's
Often called, 'dementia'
No, I'm fine
You're fine for now
Since it's at a very early stage
But the disease has already progressed
You're occasionally forgetting words for now,
but gradually your memory loss will worsen
At first, you won't recall nouns...
and then verbs
You know verbs, right?
Of course I know verbs
But nouns are the most important
Right, nouns are most important
Those are fake
I'm at the hospital
To get my test results
Huh? What?
The doctor says I'm okay
She told me to exercise
Exercise more
The doctor also told me to write poetry a lot
Okay
Could you go to that place...
Ah...
Dongseoul, what was it? It was a Dongseoul something...
Where there are a lot of cross-country buses
- The bus terminal? - Right, the bus terminal
I get like this
TIME PASSES AND FLOWERS FADE
Wet lipstick on the wine glass
With my yearning for you
- Which room is she in? - Room No. 5
Room No. 5?
I've been grabbing onto the rope I had to release,
but now's the time to let go
You may have forgotten...
my name by now
But I crudely raise...
a wineglass again because of you
Now I wanna take off my dress of attachment...
and drink a glass of oblivion
Ma'am!
You're really good!
Oh my, don't embarrass me
I got bored waiting for you, so I was killing time
You must have broken many hearts back in the days
You've got great appeal
In fact,
I have too many stories to tell about my past
Anyway, what brings you here?
It's just that...
Regarding the 5 million I have to pay
Can you lend me the money?
I've got no one else to ask
Oh my...
Ma'am
Don't do this
I know
I do, but...
there's no way I can get the money
So I'm asking you
I will pay you back
I'll even work here
I'll do anything
I'm sorry, but...
I don't have the money to lend you
And there's no job for you at a karaoke
Then what shall I do?
I'll have to rob a bank, then
Talk to Wook's mom
Why won't you tell her?
You said you talked about everything with her...
and that you were friends forever
I go to a Catholic church
And our church is quite old and beautiful
In the front yard at springtime,
buds...
that spring from the branches...
are a grass green color...
which looks so sad
It's so pretty that it looks sad
So I would brush my hand over the buds...
saying, "how pretty you are"
They say it's a sign that I'm getting older
I might get sick or be in agony, but...
I'm happy
I am happy
Now I am in love
But it's so beautiful...
and painful
It's painful because it's love that cannot be
He's married like me
I always thought I despised him
He really has a bad temper
But one day, we were leaving from a night shift...
and ended up sleeping together
It just happened once, but...
I couldn't erase that memory
The more I tried, the more it reminded me of him
If only he hadn't been in my sight
They say, 'out of sight, out of mind'
But he wasn't intended to be out of my sight
I cried and laughed like crazy
But the suffering is driving me to death
But even the suffering is beautiful
I recall a moment when I was very young
It might be the very first memory of mine
I was too young to remember how old I was
Three?
Maybe four?
I guess mom was sick
So my older sister was taking care of me
We're seven years apart
In the living room,
the red curtains are drawn closed
But through a slight opening,
the sunlight is seeping in
Now I can see half of my sister's face
The other half is hidden in the shadows
I think she dressed me in pretty clothes
"Mija, come here. Come here"
She is saying, clapping her hands
I am tottering to her
Although I was so little, I knew my sister loved me...
as she told me to come to her
I felt so good
And so happy
'I am really pretty'...
was how I felt
"Mija, come here"
"Hurry over here, Mija"
Thank you
What brings you here? You're all wet from the rain
Give me the keys to the 3rd floor
Are you coming back to work?
What changed your mind?
I thought you'd never come back
What are you looking for?
Take this
Now
Ah, here she comes
- Thank you - You're welcome
Well hello, ma'am!
Yes, hello
You're Wook's grandma, right?
Yes. And who are you?
I write for the 'Kyungkang Times'
It must be hard for you these days, right?
Well, it's okay
Let's see
Why don't we sit over here
You look amazing, ma'am
How nice of you
How are the settlements going?
Not that great, I guess
How come?
Is the victim's side refusing your amount?
I don't know for sure, but...
the girl's mom doesn't want to settle, I guess
I see, the girl's mom...
With a case like that, it's usually money problems
But are there reasons other than money?
- I don't know, but... - Yes?
What's wrong?
No, I can't...
You can't, what?
What's the matter?
Please sit for a moment, ma'am
No!
I just have a few more questions. Wait!
'We're trying to settle with the girl's mom,
but she's refusing' Is that what you said?
I don't fucking believe this
Didn't we tell you to watch your mouth?
That guy from finally got his tip...
after sniffing out the school and police station almost every day
She didn't say anything specific yet
But it's never late to move now
If only the girl's mom keeps quiet, we'll be okay
There's not much time
Come later, okay?
I'm in an important meeting
How about meeting the girl's mom yourself?
- Who me? - Yes
You go meet and persuade the girl's mom
What could I say to her?
I can't do it
Just plead with her heart-to-heart
Woman-to-woman
You can be better than us
Right, sounds like a plan
A poor old lady, raising her grandson alone pleads...
woman-to-woman
Shedding a little tears
Yes, let's do that
Ma'am
Meet her immediately I'll drive you there, tomorrow
Call me when you're done I'll come to pick you up
I'll take the bus. There I see a bus stop
I can get home by myself
Anyway, call me if you need a ride. Do a good job
Everything depends on you now You do understand?
Yes
Your outfit stands out too much
It really doesn't fit in with the neighborhood
Then what should I do? Should I go back?
I can come again in different clothes
You can't just leave now
Your words hold the key
Don't say anything to upset her, okay?
You grasp the situation, right?
I'll try
Excuse me
Is anyone there?
Where did everyone go?
Are you here for someone?
I guess everyone's out?
The gate was open so I invited myself in, but no one's here
The mom's out in the fields What brings you here?
I have to talk to her
She'll be back around sunset
Why don't you go to the fields to find her
Where's that?
Over there you'll find a plastic greenhouse
Go past it and there's a field near a brook. She'll be there
How fussy you are
THE APRICOT THROWS ITSELF TO THE GROUND
IT IS CRUSHED AND TRAMPLED FOR ITS NEXT LIFE
Hello
Yes, hello
Isn't the weather nice?
Yes, the weather's being helpful
This place is quite nice The scenery is so beautiful
It makes me want to live here
It's not an easy place to live though
I found an apricot on my way here
Many have fallen to the ground
I took a bite and it tasted quite good
Fallen apricots have a better taste
The one still on trees are too puckery to eat
Yes, you're right
It tasted good
When I saw the apricots on the ground,
I thought they were full of yearning
Throwing themselves to the ground...
be crushed and trampled on,
they prepare for their next life
For the first time, I realized this about apricots
There were also garden zinnias growing near the apricot trees
And how pretty they fall to the ground
I felt so blessed to walk in such beauty
I love flowers so much, I get happy just to see them
Gazing at flowers makes me feel full...
that I don't even need to eat
You must like flowers cause you're pretty
You think I'm pretty?
Why thank you
I do like to dress up a bit
How's the crop coming along this year?
It's so so
I hope it's a good harvest, so you'll earn a lot
Prices will drop on a good year,
while it's as tough on a bad year
Nothing's easy, you know?
Yes, but...
I hope everything goes well
Then...
have a good day
- Yes, goodbye - Bye
Well...
I...
couldn't meet her
No one was home
So I left after waiting for a while
I'm sorry
Excuse me?
I'm sorry because...
I just returned without meeting her
Die...
as you love
To the point that the Vairocana Buddha...
hangs suspended...
by a finger
Die as you wait
To the point that the Amitabha Buddha...
severs its head to use as a pillow
Until dawn passes...
the iron bell for offerings to Buddha...
does not ring
I sit by the columns of Buseok Temple...
throughout my life
Unable to offer you even one bowl of rice
But within a tear, I build a temple and then tear it down
Above a rock hanging in the sky, I build a temple
'Die as you Love'
Yes, I'd like to die as I love
It's a poem that hits you strong...
like when you take a cold shower
Next is...
Mr. PARK Sangtae who will read AHN Dohyun's poem
I ask you
This is the title of the poem
Do not even dare kick at the ashes of burnt coal
Have you ever been...
a burning person to another?
That's the end
It's a good poem cause it's short
The emcee mentioned shower
The recent heat wave makes you shower everyday, right?
Well I did some research on showers
Do you know the 5 stages of showering?
No
You don't?
The five stages are...
Stage 1
Take shower!
Stage 2
Spread-eagle!
Stage 3
Get boner!
Next is...
Plug into!
And last but not least...
Oh, thank, yer!
Thank you very much
Good health requires occasional physical stimulation
I'm out of the hospital and back at work
If you every visit the police station,
please stop by to see me
So he works at the police station?
Yes he does Pretty funny, isn't he?
We're here to love poetry
To love poetry is to seek beauty, right?
But he's always talking dirty like that
It's like he's insulting poetry
He actually has a good heart
He used to work at the Seoul Police Station,
but after reporting internal corruption,
he was demoted to this country police station
Really?
It doesn't look like that
Mr. PARK!
- Mr. PARK! - Yes, yes, yes
- This lady... - Yes?
She says you're insulting poetry
How come our chic big sister thinks that?
To recite poetry is to love it, right?
So?
To love poetry is...
seeking true beauty
True beauty... That's a tough one for me
I'm not that intelligent, you know
Anyway, go on
At a place you're supposed to seek beauty,
she says you're always...
talking dirty
Sorry, big sister!
I apologize for insulting poetry
I promise to repent
And to show you I will, let me pour you a glass
I can't drink
Just one glass
They say you should drink or fall in love to write poetry
Attention everyone!
You all know...
the poet, KIM Yongtak, right?
- Yes - Good evening
I saw him drinking in the other room and dragged him over
Greetings!
Actually I wasn't dragged here
I heard our 'Love Poetry' members were here,
so I volunteered to drop by and say hello
I was here with my young poet friends for a drink
This man next to me...
is the poet, HWANG Myungseung
- Please join us for a drink - Okay
- Join us as well - Okay
Good evening, sir
Uh? Are you also a member of this group?
No, I'm not
But I came to the reading and ended up here
Anyway, in an era when poetry is dying away,
I am so thankful and happy that there are people like you...
who love poetry
- Sir - Yes?
Why are you saying poetry is dying away?
But it is. Unfortunately,
the day will come when people no longer read...
or write poetry anymore
Poetry deserves to die!
He's still young, but he's a poet with superb sensibility
This year, he was nominated for the Sowol Literature Awards
And his poems are quite provocative
'The color of the sky, like a cat dead for a month'
Verses like this
Sir
How can I write poetry?
It's difficult, isn't it?
To write poetry
It is so difficult
As hard as I try,
I can't seem to write poetry
How can I write poetry?
You said in your class...
that we all carry poetry in our heart...
And that the poetry trapped inside...
should get their wings and fly away
Did you really say that?
Wow, bravo!
To welcome the two poets here,
I'd like to dedicate a song
What are you doing here alone, big sister?
Are you okay?
Are you drunk?
Why are you crying, big sister?
Is something wrong?
Is it because of poetry?
Because you can't write any?
What's got into you? On a Sunday?
I thought you'd be sleeping all day
Gimme something to eat I'm hungry.
Swirl it, swirl
I swirl pretty well, don't I?
Hello there
Wook's grandma's here
I see you have guests I can come back later
No, please come in
They're people you know, so please come in
Hello
Please say hello, this is Heejin's mom
Hello
She is PARKJongwook's grandma
She visited your house the other day
She felt so bad and sorry...
that she went alone to apologize,
but she couldn't meet you Isn't that right?
Is Heejin's brother entering mid. school next year?
Yes
Is he getting good grades?
I hope he is
- He's so so - I see
He should study hard
Because his mom's managing so hard on her own
Where are you going, ma'am?
Ma'am!
Why did you just leave?
Do you have the money ready?
Actually,
no
I came here to tell you that
Just in case you'd be waiting
Then what shall we do?
It's urgent
The talks are going well with the girl's mom
It was really hard to make her come all this way
That reporter helped us arrange this meeting, okay?
How can you say you don't have the money now?
Didn't you talk to your daughter?
Not yet
Why not? You should have
Don't you understand the situation?
Say, "grandpa, I love you," okay?
She's getting prettier by the day
Let's see how she can kiss
Say, "I love you" On the lips
Now, it's your turn
Who is it?
Good
Grandpa stinks
Oh, ma'am!
This is so sudden
Yes, it is so sudden, right?
Uh, right. What brings you here?
I have to talk to Mr. KANG
Don't!
Okay, don't!
PLEASE GIVE ME 5 MILLION WON I BEG YOU, DON'T ASKWHY
I wanna say I'm borrowing the money,
but I can't because it's useless
Why should I?
WHY SHOULD I GIVE YOU MONEY WITHOUT A REASON
So you're here to talk to my father-in-law?
I guess it's something serious?
It's nothing serious
I just came for the money he owes me
He owes you money?
What money?
Dad
Do you owe her money?
IS THIS BLACKMAIL?
It doesn't matter whatever you think
I won't make any excuses
Yes, yes. Taeyeol's dad said he'll be here soon
And Byungjin's dad has an appointment,
but he'll join us an hour later
Yes, yes. Come in. Yes
Enjoy your meal
So you finally got the money?
Then I'll be on my way
Sit. What's the rush?
It's all cash
Did you really rob a bank?
- So the mom settled? - Yes, she settled
Once the 30 million Won is paid, it'll all be over
Since you paid your share, NO PROBLEM!
Now everything's okay
That's why we're here for a small celebratory drink
Since everyone has suffered
So is it all over now?
Totally?
It's hard to say it's totally over
If the victim's an adult, a settlement is enough
But in the case of a minor,
if someone informs the police, an investigation's required
But we cleaned up everything with the school and the press...
and reached a settlement with the girl's mom
So there's nothing to worry about anymore
I'm sure you haven't eaten yet, why don't you join us?
- I have to go - Really?
What?
Let's go!
Why?
Good bye, ma'am
Enjoy your meal
Is it good?
Is it?
Take a bath when you get home
Why?
Just because
Take a bath and cut your nails
Since you recently got a haircut, you won't need one
You should look decent
And your mom's coming tomorrow
Why's she coming?
I told her to come
It's been a while since you've seen her
Look here
This part's still dirty
Was it too precious to clean?
You need to scrub the back of your heels when you take a bath
Why do you even need a scrubbing towel?
Is it just for fun or to use as a pocketchief?
You're always like this
You even bathe half-heartedly!
Even when you wash your face, you just pat water on...
like a cat
Why won't you scrub your ears and neck thoroughly?
You should always...
keep your body clean
A clean body makes a clean mind
Nice shot!
Great!
Perfect!
- Hey, boy - Yes?
Come here. It's okay.
Big sister
Want me to teach you a trick?
Your form ain't right, Detective PARK!
What's wrong with my form? I look cool enough
Big sister, your serve
Nice shot!
Great!
Our big sister's great!
...trying to look cute with your eyes like this
Then how should my eyes be like?
They should look like this
Since it's the last day,
you've brought me flowers
Thank you
I'm touched
Actually
We didn't bring it
Ms. YANG Mija placed it there and left
Ms. YANG Mija?
She's even written a poem
But where has she gone?
Did anyone else bring a poem?
You were supposed to write one poem by today
Anyone with a poem?
No one?
So the only one who has written a poem is Ms. YANG
It's too difficult
No it's not
It's not difficult to write a poem, but
to have the heart to write one
The heart to write a poem
Anyway,
Ms. YANG is not here, but
let's see what kind of poem she has written
I'll read it on her behalf
The title is, 'Agnes' Song'
'Agnes' Song' by YANG Mija
Mom...
How is it over there?
How lonely is it?
Is it still glowing red at sunset?
Are the birds still singing on the way to the forest?
Can you receive the letter I dared not send?
Can I convey...
the confession I dared not make?
Will time pass and roses fade?
Now it's time to say goodbye
Like the wind that lingers and then goes,
just like shadows
To promises that never came,
to the love sealed till the end
To the grass kissing my weary ankles
And to the tiny footsteps following me
It's time to say goodbye
Now as darkness falls
Will a candle be lit again?
Here I pray...
nobody shall cry...
and for you to know...
how deeply I loved you
The long wait in the middle of a hot summer day
An old path resembling my father's face
Even the lonesome wild flower shyly turning away
How deeply I loved
How my heart fluttered at hearing your faint song
I bless you
Before crossing the black river
With my soul's last breath
I am beginning to dream...
a bright sunny morning...
again I awake, blinded by the light...
and meet you...
standing by me
