NOBODY'S DAUGHTER HAEWON
Jeong Eun-chae
Lee Seon-gyun
And Jane Birkin
Written and Directed by Hong Sang-Soo.
Mar 21st,2012.
I met mom at 11 a.m yesterday after 5 years.
I was too early so I had to wait for awhile,
and then I fell asleep at the restaurant.
Mom's decided to go to Canada to settle, and she doesn't seem to be coming back.
Maybe she'd stay with my brother.
Then I realized that West Village is Seochon in Korean.
She's very famous.
Mom
This is a present.
It's nothing.
Oh, you didn't have to.
It's puer tea. It's a good one.
Thank you.
Getting along with your father?
Yup.
Mom.
-You know what I wish lately? -What is it?
That I'm independent of dad as soon as possible
What? You've got money?
Of course not, I'm just a student.
Are you doing well at school?
Mom, you don't learn acting at school.
It's all same! Just live as it is.
I suppose.
You want some money? Not much though.
I know you're short on money.
Still I'm able to give you some.
That's okay.
Mom, I can make money just, if I want to.
Even just a couple of days' work will do.
I'm so proud of you, my girl.
I'm proud of YOU.
-Hope Canada will be a right place for you,Mom. - I know.
I've been there once.
I'd do anything I want there.
Like walking around barefoot... and dancing on the street!
You can do these all over there.
I mean it ! I'll do as I please.
That's right, mom. Enjoy your life doing anything you want.
You too.
Living is dying.
Everyday we step closer to death.
So do not keep it, just do as you want.
Don't live like your mom.
I do as I want.
We walked down to West Village as it's too crowded in North Village these days.
It's the first time ever that I've spent such a long time with mom.
This is where there's the school I used to go.
-Oh,yeah? -You can find it if you go that way.
-Wanna go? -Shall we?
It hasn't changed at all.
It's been such a long time.
I was amazed by the appearance from the back of my mom.
Looks so young.
We're not allowed?
Wanna get in?
We were not allowed even before.
Weren't you?
-You mean when you went to that school? -Yes, I came here often.
So pretty. How did ancestors make things so pretty like this.
That's right. Looks so classy, isn't it?
-Oldies are classier, right? - You're right.
I was born in a wrong time, I reckon.
How come? Who said that?
You're so pretty. You'll live a decent life.
No, I'm not. You ARE Pretty.
Of course I am. You're pretty cuz you took after me.
- You're funny, mom. - I'm serious.
Isn't that scary?
Too big! They made it too big.
It's been stading like that ever since I was very little.
I guess so.
Why don't you try Miss Korea beauty queen contest?
What? Miss Korea?
It might help your acting career.
You think I can make it at the contest?
Why not? Give it a good thought!
It'd help your acting career and you could go overseas,
Looking around the world.
I was too short but you're tall enough.
Not too tall, just perfect.
Got it, I'll think about it.
Look, this is how they walk.
Yes, you look so fine, come on , do it again.
-There's a library at a place like this. -I know.
Haewon, you will realize when you get older.
There's no such thing more interesting than study.
I know ! I also like the library.
Honey. Isn't he handsome?
Yeah, pretty.
We went to the street where there was this motel but walked back as it was a driveway.
Very important motel to me it was.
Which name was Motel Fame. How tacky!
'Motel Fame'
I started to miss him suddenly.
At least this book worths buying.
-I think I know this one. -Yes.
I read this a long time ago and it was really nice.
-Seems like it's been discontinued. -Yeah? Want me to buy this for you,then?
But... I might have this at home.
Really? but let me buy this for you, anyway.
That's ok. I don't need two copies of the same book.
For those books... Please pay whatever you'd feel like.
Really?
How about 10 cents then?
That'll do.
-Well, sorry for smoking. -That's okay. It's outside.
You seem like fond of smoking.
Yes, maybe because I'm addicted to it.
That's right. That's an addiction.
Well, seriously,you could pay what you want for those books.
That'll reveal me too much.
Oh...
yes. I see.
You're right!
What's so funny?
I'm sorry.
Your mustache suits you.
-Mom, let's go -oh, okay.
-Have a good day! -You, too.
-Now, it's spring! -That's right.
Wanna get inside the school?
Hmm? No, I won't
Won't you?
Let's just drink coffee here.
I'm a bit tired since I walked too long after a long time.
Okay.
Cuz I already paid a visit to the school before.
Oh, did you?
I was happy then
as it was fun and reminded me of my school days.
But it's something strange today. I don't really feel good about it.
Why is that?
Maybe because I think I'm not coming back again?
Maybe.
-What time is the flight tomorrow? -Oh, it's in the afternoon.
-Take good care of yourself. -I will. You take care too.
I will take you there as soon as I've settled down.
You don't need to take me there. I can go myself.
Mom.
I'm too strong.
Too strong for a woman.
Yes, you are strong. I am well aware of that.
No matter where you are...
and what you do...
Just remember this since you're my mom.
I'll take care of you later no matter what. Okay?
How did you grow up like this?
How have you become such a beautiful person like this?
Strong and brave.
Mom will think of you every day.
I mean it! Every single day.
-Promise! Cuz our future will be bright.Ok? -Yes.
You just stay healthy, mom.
Cuz you're my mom.
Oh,my little pumpkin.
How can I ever leave you, sweetie .
From now on, I'll think of you every day.
-Promise. I mean it. -Yes.
I promise.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I'm sorry.
It's raining.
I called him up after saying goodbye to mom.
He turned up, thankfully.
Maybe, we didn't totally break up.
What are you doing? Come on inside the umbrella.
It's good walking in the rain after a while.
It's been a long time to get rained on.
Okay...
It's like being on a different world when you get rained on,right?
-This place is called 'Alter Sajik'. - Yes, I know. I've been here.
I used to live in a boarding house over the road, you know.
100 bucks a month, a room at the gate in the traditional house.
I'm serious. A room like, your feet reach the wall when you lie down.
-Was it? -Yes.
Why didn't you live at your parents?
I was quite reckless.
And YOU seem like reckless today!
-Sir, you think I'm crazy? -What? NO, no...
You're a g..good girl. So...so pretty.
It's good to see you, too.
Why are you so pretty?
-Such impudence. -Why..why? What did I do?
Have you ever gone crazy, seriously?
Yeah, I guess so.
I think it's your merit.
What's good about it?
Why?
You try to get inside? I don't think you're allowed.
-Aren't you cold? -Not really.
Will we keep walking like this?
-You're afraid of people looking. -There's no one around.
-I know you're afraid though. -That's Okay, I said.
You should think about your child. Your child!
I know.
-It's warm. -Me, too.
Stay with me just today please, cuz I'm a bit depressed.
I know.
Fancy a drink?
-I'd like that. -You feel like drinking, right?
Yes...I'd like to do everything. When I'm with you.
It's absurd.
Let's just drink, Okay?
You such a cheeky girl! You're driving me crazy!
So absurd!
-You remember that place? -Nope.
How can't you remember?
Oh!
Isn't that the motel? That is, right?
I had no idea. Seeing from different direction.
That's right. We're here now!
Didn't you say you lived here before?
I knew it, but I didn't know what you were talking about.
That's where...we did it. Of course, I remember.
I should remember, of course! As it was our first night.
Thanks for saying that.
He wanted something warm so we went to this place called ' That shop'.
"Looked for people and get confused again.
And let 'em go again.
If we meet again, I'll say hello.
I won't say, 'Pay as you want'."
Feel like drinking.
Professor Sung gave me 300 bucks for our wrap up party.
-Oh, really? -Yeah!
- To you? - To me!
-Then,we need to gather up the guys. -I'll call 'em.
I always appeciate his concerns.
-That's what I'm saying. -Guys, it's freezing. Let's talk inside.
We walked down on the street cuz we couldn't find any place to drink.
-These guys saw us,right? -I don't know.
- They might pretended not to notice. -How come?
No way they couldn't see us from here.
You think so?
Let's get inside. They seemed to see us anyway.
Let's say, you and I just met by chance on the street.
I paid a visit to my friend's around here and you were...
taking a walk after being at the book store.
We've met by chance an hour ago and I said I'd treat you dinner.
Just tell them like this roughly.
Just tell 'em simply that we've met accidentally.
That's what I mean.
It will happen that we need to let 'em know how we get here naturally. So do as I say.
Huh?
I get it. I'll tell 'em that I called you cuz I missed you.
You talk nonsense!
You need to lie even if it's hard for you.
We need to get inside quick before they get suspicious.
-Are you serious? -I am!
Okay. I need to drink.
Let's drink!
-Cheers! -I feel good.
Well, I don't know if it's appropriate, but...
What made you choose to become a professor, director?
Me? Why?
I just... make money out of it and I have my office...it's kinda cool.
Oh, that's why...
Anyway, in your movies... intellectuals are such assholes
So, I wonder...if it's okay for you.
I mean, what do you wanna know? I don't get it.
Well, you describe intellectuals like that
while yourself got a professor job and... I wanna know how you feel about it.
So, I mean, what do you mean by that?
I have no idea what he's talking about!
I just...like being with you guys like this.
Otherwise, like...
I'll have no chance to meet young people like youse... and like...
get to know each other...right?
I'm very happy with that. huh? huh?
Director. Well, you like Haewon, right?
What do you like about her?
Like, as an actor or a person.
Of course, I like her!
Oh, well...
How can I say...mmm
mmm, you know...
-As a student... -Director, you don't like me?
Of course, I like you!
All of you guys are so awesome, really!
Sir, It's really stimulating that you tell us something like this.
It's like,really helpful that you have a chat with us like this
besides the lectures.
-He's right. -Yeah, I get it. Glad to hear that.
Haewon, drink up! you need to follow up.
Hey! Fill you up with 3 glasses of booze! Give me your glass.
3 glasses, my arse. I've filled myself up with 10 already.
-Oh, you need to drink too,sir. -Oh, sure.
-Drain the glass first. -Of course, I will.
I'm going to the bathroom.
-Professor. -Yes.
No, I mean, director.
You know Haewon and Jaewoong used to go out, right?
Oh, did you? I...I had no idea.
-Hey, I'm your senior. Respect that. -They went out more than a year.
-Oh, did they? - Anway, she's so weird.
When you go out with someone, you go out just with this one, right?
What?
Disgusting!
How could she meet someone else at the same time? Lying, cheating on him.
After taking advantage of him as much she could. -Hey!
What's with you?
-We're finished, you know. -Fortunately,yes. But...
you went through too much hard time cuz of her so... - Man...
I can't fucking stand her.
I'm not really into such matters.
Anyway, I don't understand why you guys hate Haewon so much like this.
-Don't you? -No.
That's because you don't know about her well enough.
-She's kinda...special. -Is she? I, I couldn't really tell.
She's mixed.
Pardon me?
Didn't know that? She's mixed-blood.
-You're not even sure about it. -I heard she told Yuram.
-Really? -She told Yuram about it.
How come this bastard didn't bring it up at all to me?
-Yo, Jaewoong. You knew that? - No way.
Didn't know.
Even so, Is there problem being mixed-blood?
Leave her alone!
You pull yourself together, bro.
And she's from a super rich family.
-Is she? how super? -No idea.
Well, anyway, just...
I heard that her mom used to drive Porche around the school.
-So, you didn't see it for yourself, right? -Right.
Got it.
-Oh,well. Being a rich is a good thing. -You could say that.
-I think she's really...
-aristocratic. -Oh my God.
Are you okay?
-You okay? -What? Yes.
Think I drank too fast. I'm okay though.
May I take your last order? The kitchen's closing.
Oh, is it?
Hey guys, feel like more to eat? Order more! Eat anything. That's on me.
-No,sir. That's alright. -That's okay.
-Well, why don't you... -We had enough.
You were here before, right? It's been a long time.
With this lady, right? It's been almost a year, maybe?
Pardon?
Oops.
-No more order then? Bon appetite! -Oh,yeah...
You've been here before.
Right...
It was...a long time ago.
Too long ago, so...
The lady has a quite good memory. Cuz my memory is quite...
so so.
So you were here with Haewon?
-What? -What?
Well, he...
he just drank heaps that time too.
And, and he...had BBQ too.
Oh my... I can't remember it well.
How come... you don't remember?
Hey, forget it. Everyone's got wasted here.
Hey,Joohee. Get me some drink.
-Director! -What?
You drink, too.
Even you're not feeling well.
Oh, pour...No, That's okay.
Here.
Hey, sorry guys.
Oh,mmm. you're alright.
All good, sir.
-I'm really sorry. -Never mind. Let's toast.
-Let's drink. -Yes,sir.
Drink.
Guys.
I...
Today...my mom's left. She's gone to Canada.
I was very sad. That's why I called him out.
So don't get us wrong.
I'm saying that's the truth.
Believe it or not.
Anyway, sorry that I lied.
Mar 27th, 2012.
I went to see him yesterday cuz he called me out.
He said he's got something to say,
and he also told me not to come out if I didn't feel well.
We met at Shinsa Station and went to Namhansansung by his car.
-Are you tired? -Nope.
The air is so nice!
Good place to walk. Not too high.
This is a South Gate. Maybe the biggest one here.
In some ways, here is like, the center.
So, this is the inner part of the fortress and over there is the outer part of it.
I had no idea there was a place like this.
Cuz I used to live around here before. So I came here often.
One of my close friends lives around here,too.
Oh,yeah? Then you could go visit her later. I'll drive you there.
Never mind. She's not usually in Seoul since she's a stewardess.
Oh, Is that so?
Hope I could live and die at the hotel overseas.
Having breakfast at the hotel restaurant every morning is so good.
-Absolutely delicious! -I see.
That was the best part of the travel I went with mom and dad when I was little.
Breakfast at the hotel!
-So yummy! -Sounds like you're from a rich family.
Not much, but.. I guess I was well provided for, at least.
My dad worked abroad for 7 years when I was little.
You said that before.
That made you become different from other guys, I reckon.
What's different?
I mean...
you also...use your head...to live. You do.
but, less you use it, I guess.
I'm a devil.
-Devil? -Yes.
I'm a devil.
What do you mean, you're a devil?
I appreciate it , but you look favourably at me.
Hey, cheeky girl. Devil, my arse!
Let's go.
-Beautiful day. -Yes, it is.
-It's amazing. -Isn't it? you're not tired, anyway?
I'm okay.
God, I wanna smoke!
Go ahead!
-Oh, not allowed here? -No.
How come you look so sad?
Men of old times,
they might've built this rampart eating and sleeping here.
It's no use having a hard life like that, you know
No one remembers their efforts now.
There's nothing left.
Here, the rocks remained.
You're right. The rocks remained, at least.
This is all built up by the living.
How could they pile these up one by one? reaching the top of the moutain.
I will not leave anything.
I have same idea.
Actually, I guess I'd l eave three things at least.
My child, my movies
and the memory that people would have about me.
-You'll leave many things. -Is that many?
Yes, it is.
No, you'd leave as many as I would. And people will remember you.
And when you get married, you'd have a child.
I'd leave nothing, I said.
Please do leave many things on your own.
Okay. Do as you please.
Let's go!
Tired? Almost there.
-Ants.. and be careful of the scew on the stair.
Yes, thank you.
His legs trembled.
-You know what this is? -What's this?
A resignation.
Are you quitting?
-Should I ? -Is it a joke?
It's a resignation.
I just... tried writing. just...wrote.
Will you... turn it in?
No, just...wrote it. Woke up in the middle of the night and I wrote it and...
Funny how it brought me to tears. Such a jerk.
Cuz it made me feel sorry for my family.
How can I support them without any income?
Should I tear it up?
Give it a good thought before making a decision.
Since you need to make a living. You even have a baby.
I know, I just... practiced the worst.
You haven't done anything wrong.
But I liked you.
So, Do not like me.
Think I'm crazy?
-I should've brought something to eat. -Sorry?
Oh...
How come there's no place at all to eat here.
-Looks really delicious, doesn't it? -I wanna eat so bad.
Might be delicious...
God, I wanna smoke.
Shall we listen to music?
Wanna here it?
This is my favourite and... it's newly arranged.
Nice, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Listening to this kinda one good music is better than reading a hundred books.
yeah, you're right.
Thanks.
The music is really good.
Let's do things right.
So that we can be together very long time.
I hope so.
It's totally up to us.
We'll be alright if we gather ourselves up and never get caught.
About what happened before,
just persistently claims that you didn't do it.
Cuz, they have no evidence.
Time will solve the problem.
-Sir. -Yes?
There's no secret.
There's no such thing as the secret. Didn't know that?
No secret.
They alll find out in the end.
What can we do then?
It'll be fixed when we're all dead.
I can't believe the way you talk, you little punk!
How could you be so pretty?
You are pretty, too!
I love you.
I feel strange to hear that.
I love you, really.
Me, too.
We should have stopped going.
Do you go to school nowadays?
No, I've been just staying home for a week.
-What classes are you taking this semester? -Nothing important.
I'm a bit scared to go to school.
By the way, Did you really go out with Jaewoong?
I did. Why?
Really?
Yes, we did. He's a good guy.
You mean, you really went out with him like lovers?
Of course!
Really?
What's with you?
So you thought I'd just look at you and wait for you all my life?
You and I had broken up. That's what you said.
But, still...that's too short.
Furthermore, we hadn't exactly broken up.
How did you ever... think of going out with this guy?
We did break up.
They said you went out with him more than a year.
Who said that?
It was just two or three months.
I let him sleep with me out of pity after drinking.
-Cuz he kept insisting that he liked me. -What? ' let him sleep with me'?
How could you ever sleep with him? Are you out of your mind?
How could you sleep with a jerk like him?!
Is he even a man? Is he a man to you?!
He's also a man!
Fucking hell, how could she ever do this?
He's just a shaveling, you know? A child! He's nobody!
How could you ever think of sleeping with a child?!
How can I not sleep with him since he was my boyfriend?
Are you nut? Are you crazy? You fucking crazy bitch!
I mean, after breaking up with me...
How could sleep with such a fucking loser?!
You know how much I loved you!
You know how hard it was for us to break up!
And you get laid with such a dick?!
-Fucking shit! -Okay, I get it!
Stop swearing! It scares me.
What the fuck! Fuck that shit.
Told you I'm scared!
What's the problem if I swear?
Don't you know how filthy you were?
What was filthy?
-You don't know what you've done? - No, I don't know!
What?!
Maybe your mind is filthy!
I'd better leave.
Beautiful day!
It is.
Where's the lady you were with before?
Oh, well...No idea.
How come you don't know?
You seem to walk around by yourself.
Oh, don't mind me.
Be good to your woman.
Yeah, I try to... But it's hard.
But she is worthful.
The most worthful of all.
Yes. Thank you.
Don't be alone, like this.
April 3rd, 2012.
I went to school after a long time.
Too late for the class, so I just went to the school library.
I slept at a reading room with English books section.
And it's weird that being at the library sends me to sleep well.
Haewon.
Hey, Yuram.
English book again?
You...really are so good at english?
No. No good at reading. Just my pronunciation is a bit better.
-Is that so? -Yes.
Reading english book makes me look different so I feel good about it.
You're right. Yes, I understand.
By the way...well,
Do you go out with director Lee?
Who on earth is going around saying such a thing?
What am I gonna do about it.
Tell me, you guys really are together?
-Yuram. Don't tell anyone, okay? -Yes.
Mr.Lee likes me a lot.
And I kinda like him, too.
We've been going out like...a year?
We keep repeating breaking up and starting over...
Now we're having difficult times. Very tough.
He's suffering, too.
You sleep with him,too?
-Yes... -Oh...
So you guys have done everything what's needed.
Of course, we were together no matter what they say.
Anything else you wanna tell me?
-You'll keep the secret? -Certainly,I will ! Don't be stupid.
Hold on, let me think.
-Take your time. -Yes.
Crazy bitch!
Haewon!
-Yes?! -How come you missed the class?
-Cuz I was a bit late. -The professor complained.
Saying you'd have an F if you don't turn up again.
What's the assignment?
Doing the presentation by next week with the themes provided last week.
-One by one, individually. -Is it?
-Can I borrow your notes for the theme? -I have it at home.
Go and ask the professor, he'd be at his office.
Okay, then.
Do you know director Lee was injured while drinking?
Was he?
He fell when he was drinking with guys.
-He hurt his face a little, I heard. -Did he?
-I'll go ahead. -Oh.
-See ya. -Yeah.
He's switched his mobile off.
'Yeonju. Take your time. I'll be there by 3.'
'Let me sleep over at your place tonight.'
What kind of people smoke cigarette all the time like that.
Found something good?
-At least this book seems to be good. -Are you buying it?
No, cuz I'm not sure if I have the same book at home.
-Oh, I think I've read this book, too. -Have you?
Yes, it's a classic.
Why don't you buy it?
I asked him earlier and he said it's 'Pay what you want'.
Is it?
But, then I'll reveal myself too much.
Then just pay what you don't want, not to reveal yourself.
Would I?
-Give it to me.I'll buy it for you. -No,no. That's okay.
-Well... Are you busy? -Sorry?
Why?
I'm just... trying to have a ball.
Why don't we have a cup of coffee if you have a moment.
You didn't have to have a ball for that.
-You a student? -Yes.
What do you do?
Oh, I'm a professor. In the United States.
- Where in the US? -Oh, you know about the US?
Nope.
In San Diego, California.
I get it.
So, what brings you here to Korea?
I visited here on business affairs.
I'm going back tomorrow.
Why don't you come inside?
Have a cup of cofee. I'm not a bicko, really.
I'd just walk away if you're a bicko. No way that I'd just stay.
-Get inside,please. -Yes, please.
-Had a good time with the president? -Looked like he's having a decent life.
Is there prize money when you're awarded with the Presidential Prize?
No, it would be better off with it.
I don't understand what they're thinking. Even a small amout will make us happy.
-Congrats!, anyway. -Thank you.
Oh, acturally,
well... they gave me this as sort of momento.
-Wanna keep this for fun? -Really?
-This is the presidential watch. -Keep it. Cuz I have my watch.
-Can I keep it, seriously? - Yes, it's yours.
Wow, thank you!
I'll wear it carefully. It's interesting.
You like walking around by yourself, right?
I do. Why?
You have a boyfriend?
No, and you?
I'm looking for my future wife, not a girlfriend.
To get married as soon as possible.
In fact, I got divorced a year ago.
Oh... I get it.
Do you ever have a bad opinion of divorce?
The people here still, you know, about divorce...
No. Getting married means you're able to get divorced.
Yes, you're right.
But now I'll try not to get divorced.
-I'd better find a good person. -Is that so?
What kind of person is a good person?
I can say you are close to that.
-You're kidding, right? -Not at all!
But you don't know a thing about me.
You don't need to see someone long time to see who it is.
In fact, I think I'm able to see it by appearance.
What do you see?
You...
look cold-hearted and self-centered in outer appearance
but brave-hearted inside.
Even though your too much force makes you keep crashing and getting hurt,
you'd keep crashing.
Is that so?
You keep crashing cuz that's seems to be the way to find out who you are.
You want to know who you are.
Thing is,
I think the amount of continuation and solidity of the crash is great.
It's like...
that you want to experience the absolute truth through the meeting with the living.
Am I right?
I don't know, that's what I see from you.
Do you like such person? Sounds like burdensome.
Not at all.
I need such person around me.
I need this like, unbreakable forceful personality is around me.
For the sake of my mental health. Being healthy is being happy.
That's right, I need this.
This place is cozy.
Yes, cozy.
You're allowed to scribble at this place. Wanna try?
I don't usually do that. Why bother to show my idea to strangers?
You're telling me!
You're really pretty.
I feel like drinking.
You like drinking?
Not really. Just feel like it today.
-Would you like a drink with me? -Sorry but I'm meeting someone.
-A close friend of mine. -I see.
That's not a good watch. That's cheapy!
I think so.
He's speaking to Martin Scorsese
I understood his English and it seems that they are very close.
I'm sorry, but it was an urgent call. I'm very sorry.
No worries, it was short though.
-Now I'll catch a cab for you. -Please.
Wait, please.
Do you happen to know what mind control is?
No, I don't.
Cuz People don't believe this so... I'll show you as a trial.
I'll try, calling a taxi with my mind from here.
A gray one if it's possible.
-A gray coloured taxi? -Yes, it will take about 2 mins.
It's here!
-Oh my God. -Hop in, please.
Thank you.
-You're so cool! It's amazing.
You're the one who's cool, not me.
I'll call you. Can I?
Yes, please. And have a nice trip.
Now, Haewon!
-Bye -Good bye.
-Bye! -Have a good trip!
Yeonju brought her lover.
I suggested to go to Namhansansung as it was close to her place
and we were to have lunch at Sansung Village after looking around.
This is the south gate. The biggest gate of all in Namhansansung.
Oh,yeah?
Isn't this awesome? We used to come here often a long ago.
Yeah. I like it here. The air is so different.
Anyway, it's really nice to see you again. It's been quite a long time, right?
Yes, and you haven't changed at all.
Haven't I? Thank you. I work out a bit. Workout!
You are industrious, she told me.
Workout is as important as eating.
I mean, it's that important.
-He's right. Workout is very important. -Okay, Let's go.
Yes, let's go... Let's go.
What a nice weather. It's so soft.
-It's really spring now. -We chose a perfect day.
Yeonju is totally crazy.
How the hell could she go out with a married man for 7 years?
It's amazing. How did they pile up these rocks?
There may be workers in their times.
-It might have been a hard work. -You're right.
Yeonju, I probably will get married soon.
Really? You've got someone?
I'm sorry to say this but, I don't wanna get older like you so...
I prefer early marriage.
-Well, who's the guy? Tell me. -I don't know yet.
Well, we seem to speak same lauguage. I enjoy talking with him.
-I mean, who the hell is this guy? -He's a professor, in the US.
Is he? You happened to meet American professor?
-Is he American? -No, he's Korean.
Being professor is really good. it's a stable job.
Well, that's what they say.
It's really a good job. They get paid even on school breaks
and retirement age is guaranteed so, it's really a good job.
But, is it same in the US?
-Yeah, I think so. -It..it may be. it sho..uld be.
Did he say he like you? How old is he?
He said I'm the one he needs.
Then, you'd go to the US when you get married?
No, I don't know yet. But he's like, intersting man.
He's a bit different from these men I used to go out with. He's bright.
-He's bright? -Bright?
Anway, we need to...
Oh, we'd better go for a drink to celebrate.
Yes! let's go for a drink. I feel like drinking.
-You feel like drinking? -Do you?
Anyhow, you guys are really something.
Oh, are we?
We're really something, aren't we?
-We really are something! -Don't be silly.
How's your depression? Any better?
-Me? -Yes.
Yes. Got better a bit.
A little bit... but I still take pills everyday...
Yeah, you better get married, have a baby and settle down.
Don't live your life like I do.
You're enjoying your life too, in some ways.
Gosh, thank you.
Anyway, I'm really happy for you!
No, I'm still thinking.
Let's go.
Hello? Hold on, please.
Yeonju. Go on ahead. I'll catch up with you.
Okay.
-Sorry, I'm with somebody. -Oh, are you?
Cuz you called me. Sorry, I missed it.
-Did you get hurt? -How do you know?
-Sunyoung told me earlier. -Oh, She did? You've been to school.
-Yes, better attend school now. -You're right.
I left home.
I had a fight with my wife last night. It was kind of a big fight and I left home.
Really? Why did you leave?
I was quite drunk yesterday
and she went fucking nuts so...
Maybe I was drunk. Actually I got so wasted
that made me talk too much,
a bit about our relations included.
Such as?
What did you talk about?
God, it's so hard.
Can we meet and talk? Where are you?
Well, I'm with my close friend.
We're at Namhansansung now.
Oh,really? You want me to come? Let me come over.
You'd better not. As my friend here too...
Doesn't matter,I'll come over.
I wanna see you. Let's meet now, please.
How 'bout I pretend to see you accidentally.
Where are you now?
It's just a few steps away from Soohojangdae, you know, the highest place here.
Oh, you know that I know the place.
Then, let's really do this way.
I'll come to Soohojangdae and we pretend to meet by chance. What do you think?
Let's say I was taking a walk and just meeting you by chance.
-Are you really coming? -Yeah, I miss you. I mean it.
Ok, then. Come quickly.
-Ok, I got it. I'll be there soon. -Yes.
I reckon, Haewon's better off getting married.
Cuz her personality doesn't mix well with Korea anyway.
I'm a bit worried cuz it's like running away.
What's wrong with running away if she'd be bettter off?
I think it has been too hard for her to go out with director Lee.
Oh, Joongsik. It's a secret. Make it look like you don't know about it.
Of course! But she'd know there's nothing to hide between us, anyway.
She'll be unable to put up with you knowing this.
She's like...tricky, you know. She can't stand being embarrassed.
Anyway, having said that, She'd better get married and go abroad.
We're not in a position to worry about others.
It wouldn't do any harm to worry.
I mean. I myself am suffering now. Who said I'm not worried about her?
You're right. I...I know. I know.
Oh...my sweetie.
What...beautiful flags. Right?
So simple.
So awesome!
The flag is awesome invention, right?
Because of that you can see the wind, with your eyes.
Yeonju!
How can you say such a beautiful...
What the...
That's right.
I envy them.
How can they be together so casually?
Oh, so yummy!
Not a healthy food though. Bon appetite!
-Thanks,Yeonju for bringing food like this. -You know I'm good at this.
-Having lunch outside is the best. -Yup, help yourself!
-Sir! -Hey!
-How are you? -Oh, I'm good. How are you?
What are you doing here?
We're looking around. And you are...taking a walk?
Oh, yeah, certainly.
-I come here...very often. Yes, I do. -I see.
Oh, this is a professor from my school. Director Lee Sungjoon.
Yeah, Director Lee...!
Oh, Oh ! You are.
Oh, well. Nice to meet you here.
-Same here. How are you? -Good. She told me a lot about you.
-Oh, she did?
-How are you? -Good, how are you?
-Well, she's my close friend. -I see.
And this is my close friend's...friend.
Oh, I see. Nice to meet you.
What happened to your face. Did you get hurt?
Oh, just a bit. It's nothing though. I was drunk and...
-Looks like you fell ! -Yes, it's...embarrassing.
-Oh, it must hurt. -Just a little bit.
-Please, have a sit. -Oh...thank you.
Looks like you're having a feast.
-We just had instant noodles,and sushi rolls... -Oh, you did?
-Oh, sorry. We ate up all. -That's okay. I'm not hungry.
I see...
-Please, sit down. -Oh, yes. Thank you.
-I have to go soon, so... -Oh, I see.
-Here, have some banana. -Oh, thank you.
Finish your meal.
You're going?
Yes...and you're staying?
-Yes. I'll sleep over at Yeonju's place. -I see.
-Cuz I feel uncomfortable so... -Be at ease!
But It seems that,
your friend looks at me like I'm a jerk.
You thought so?
Please, don't get mad.
-She knows about our relations. -What?
-Did you just say you told her? -Yes.
I was too stressed, so I told her when we're drinking.
But, don't worry. I told her not to tell anyone.
Why on earth do you say such a thing? I don't really understand.
Told you I was stressed. It was too much for me then.
-Do you remember when it was? -When?
You told your wife about it,too. I did it cuz I was in pain also.
What's so hard about it?
You couldn't really stand it?
What's good about saying such a thing?
-Don't get mad! They're looking. -Oh, God.
You've told her anyway! Oh my God!
What did you say to your wife?...about us.
No..I didn't really tell her things. She knows nothing.
So, you're staying outside now?
Yes.
I've got a friends who runs a cafe, which has a room and I'm staying there.
It'd be good cuz you can drink b..booze there or something.
I think I need to go back home cuz my baby calls me too often.
Can your baby make a call?
Of course,Mom puts the baby on the phone. How can a baby make a call?
Just go home.
Should I?
Give it a good thought. You need to care about your child as well.
You're right.
By the way, you came here to say what?
I...
don't think I can do this anymore cuz it's too hard.
I can't endure this...
heartbreak even at home.
I can't even look my students in the eye.
Can you...with me...
Do you love me?
Cuz I love you so much.
You wanna go away with me? Where there's no one around?
Go where? Where are you talking about?
Such as Gangwon-do!
I know a priest there! Huh?
It's your fault!
What?
When we slept together for the first time, you said that was it.
How nice was it? But you called me again.
You should've not called then!
-So it's all my fault. -Yes, it's all your fault!
We can't do anything we want. But, why do you try to do everything, why?!
I didn't mean to!
All I did was loving you!
It was not loving me. It was that you didn't care about me.
-Do you have to talk that way? -Cuz it's too hard!
No one can stand it... if things become too hard!
No one can!
Isn't it too hard for yourself?
So what the hell you want?
Let's break up!
We're not even together.
Cuz you won't try to give up anything.
I'll try to be well off, or something like that.
Okay.
Live well!
Sorry.
I'll say goodbye to them.
-I'll get going. -Bye.
I'll take a walk a bit and come back. Stay here.
Where you going?
-Taking a walk shortly. -You want me to come together?
No, just wait please.
I walked to the place where I haven't been to yet.
How are you, sir?
-You're drinking. -Oh, yes. I am drinking.
I met you earlier.
Why are you alone without the gentleman?
I don't really know.
Well, can I have a drink?
Will you?
-Want me to fill up? -Please.
Thank you,sir.
-Mind if you give me one more, please? -Oh, you're a good drinker.
Ok, give it a go.
Was it good talking a walk around Namhansansung?
Yes, it was, sir.
Well, thank you very much for your hospitality.
I was lonely and sad, and suddenly I got scared.
Haewon!
You're still here,sir.
Yes.
I don't wanna go.
I really don't want to go.
I...
can't do anything without you. I mean it.
I'll be nobody.
Don't cry!
Haewon!
Why can't we love each other?
Why do you wanna do us wrong?
Wait a little bit more.
Wh...What?
Wait a little bit more.
All will be fine.
I woke up and realized that
the gentleman I saw in my dream seemed to be a good man whom I had met before.
