This is Lee Kyong-ah.
It's Kim Kyong-ah.
Actually, my real name is Kyong-sook.
Kyong-ah is a name I use at work.
Pay your respects.
How do you do?
Come inside.
You brought a guest home.
Isn't a proper introduction in order?
This is the girl I'm going to marry.
What is our son talking about, dear?
I'm marrying her.
Just eat.
This isn't proper.
It's not a matter you can just toss at us like that.
It's been a while since we saw you.
This can wait.
You can tell us the whole story then.
Go ahead and eat.
Eat up.
Our food is really tasty.
Our housekeepers are good cooks.
How old are you?
She's 23.
Actually, I'm 25.
Where did you go to school?
I dropped out of high school...
Ma'am.
I work at a bar.
A hostess bar.
Should I have lied?
No, you don't have to lie.
Bring me an ice water.
Yes, ma'am.
Make it a tall glass.
Yes, ma'am.
Have you gone mad, son?
I don't think so.
Let's say he's gone temporarily insane.
What's with you?
You don't approve?
What did you say?
Mom!
Let go!
Let me go!
You're the worst scumbag I ever met!
The worst!
Mom!
Let me go.
Eun-sub...
Were you at it again?
Eun-sub...
You...frighten me.
Eun-sub!
So you took me there for that wench's benefit!
You took me just to spite her because
the woman you treasure is your brother's woman!
Quiet.
You can't do that to me, jerk!
You can't!
My so-called brother racked up gambling debts,
leaving my parents homeless, and now the thugs are after me for the money.
My mom's sick so I'd cut myself in front
of them to send her some money for medicine.
So the only way I could survive was to throw away my heart and pride.
I had to live as an unfeeling wooden block instead of a human being.
That's why it didn't matter how I was treated.
With that attitude I poured drinks for a living.
But because of you, I don't want to do that anymore.
When I wasn't human, it didn't matter how you treated me.
But now that I'm human again, I can't stand that kind of treatment.
You made me human again, jerk.
So you can't do that to me.
You can't make a fool of me, comparing me
to an innocent girl like her in front of your family.
I'm human again because of you,
so you can't ask me to be a wooden block again.
Hey!
Wait!
I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry!
I'm going crazy.
This is how it always ends when our family gets together.
Won't you rescue me?
I want to go away to the island soon.
Let's do that.
Let's help your father get better, and we can go.
I liked it when we were on the island.
My heart fluttered when you came to our clinic.
It did?
I started looking at my hands
only after you threw those rubber gloves at me.
Really?
Before then I didn't know how my hands looked.
Really?
I wanted to put some lotion on, but I didn't have any.
I'll buy you some.
I was putting some on from a sample bottle,
and I was shocked at myself.
Why?
"Oh, I'm moving."
"I'm moving."
"Suh Jung-eun is moving."
I thought I was broken, but I was still moving.
You're moving toward me, right?
Don't move toward anyone else, okay?
Okay.
Okay, I won't.
Min-jung...
Did you find a place to teach?
Yes, how did you know?
Eun-ho.
We talk and meet often.
I see.
Sit down. I came to see you.
I heard about your father.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't in Seoul, so I heard about it later.
My condolences.
Thank you.
You were nervous, weren't you?
No...
Don't I make you nervous?
And worried that I might tease you like the last time.
Then you were teasing me then?
Sorry.
I'm a little prankster.
I didn't mean any harm, so don't misunderstand...
Well, actually that's not entirely true.
There's something I've been meaning to ask.
Do you love Eun-ho?
Why can't you answer?
How can you marry him when you can't even say you love him?
It's not "can't" but "won't."
Why not?
I don't want to answer.
I rub people the wrong way, huh?
Yes.
I asked Eun-ho, and he said he loves you.
But the way I see it, I don't think you two are in love.
Did you sleep with him?
What?
See? It's only half there.
You can't get married with only platonic love.
I love Eun-ho.
Yes, I came to beg on my knees if necessary.
To ask you to move aside for me if you don't love Eun-ho.
But my way of asking turned you off, didn't it?
When Eun-ho was lying in bed,
I never once thought he might die.
I believed without the slightest doubt that he'd wake up eventually.
And he did.
Even while he wasn't able to remember,
I had faith that he'd regain his memory.
And he did.
Recently, he got into an accident.
It happened while I was talking to him.
I could hear what was going on.
That was the first time I thought he might die.
Everything went pitch black and my mind went blank
from thinking that he might have died.
Thinking he was alive made me come alive,
but thinking he was dead made me dead.
If he hadn't made it then,
living wouldn't really have been living for me.
And that person says he needs me.
If he's asking me to be something for him,
I want to do that for him.
That's how I feel.
So if you say that's not love, then I don't know what to tell you.
But just because I can't put a name to my feelings,
you can't say they're not real.
I'm afraid I can't back down so easily either.
You do understand that my feelings are real too?
Until the day you get legally married, I'm going to do my best.
Here. I called you over.
Where do you live?
Let's go to your place.
Watch it.
You might send her to an early grave.
Wait outside.
I didn't want to go this far.
You see, I know your world a little.
You do agree you won't let him go if I go easy on you, don't you?
How dare you glare at me?
Why are you doing this to me?
You have to ask?
Forget it.
Why bother talking to you?
Did you use contraceptives?
I'm saying this out of sympathy for you.
You may give your body to men, but don't let them have your heart.
You'll just get it broken by them.
It's sad that you actually have feelings.
Anyhow.
I'll give you another bundle if you send my son back soon.
This is the winning business.
Mom, don't do this.
Just have your little fling and come home.
This isn't a fling!
The more you behave like this, the closer I come to insanity.
This isn't just for fun.
I'm going to marry her!
I'm going to live with her.
My methods will get even crueler if you continue.
Can't you tell by looking at her?
I can resort to worse things.
This is crazy.
I'll go crazy.
Look at this.
Your family must be loaded.
Before, I would've said, "thank you," and did as she wanted.
With this money, I don't have to worry about
my mom's medicine bills for a couple years.
I would have said, "Yes, I'll leave your son alone."
"I'll take this money, thank you."
But now I'm offended by this money.
I'm not a wooden block, am I?
Don't feel bad for me.
Just seeing that guilty look is enough for me.
Good work.
How much debt do you have at the bar?
You want to pay it back for me?
No, I don't have any money.
Then why do you ask?
Since I can't rescue you, I want to join you.
Where's the music?
Hurry it up!
Why, this wench!
What?
Sir, how about a song?
Why are you doing this?
I told you, since I can't rescue you, I'll join you.
Why?
I promised I'd do my best if you accepted me.
I'm just glad there's something I can do for you.
Where are you going?
Out to make money.
I'm almost happy nowadays.
Someone is actually looking out for me.
I can't believe this is real.
Jung-eun...
Is that all you can do?
Do it right!
Yes, sir. I'll try again.
SUH JUNG-EUN
Teacher, your phone.
Continue.
Hello?
Do you have time tonight?
Eun-ho...
What's wrong?
I came to take you home.
Why are you crying?
Just...
Sometimes the tears just start when I see you.
I have to make a stop somewhere.
Where?
I have to meet someone.
Who?
Want to go with me?
What is it, Min-jung?
I'm going out of my mind.
The whole place smells like gas.
I think I have a leak.
I'll be back soon.
Go in and talk to her.
You're here.
You remember me, don't you?
What, you don't like my tone of voice?
Too bad. That's how I talk.
What did...
I wanted to see you up close.
To see how you're different from me.
If you don't have anything else to say, I'll go.
Sit back down!
He's resorted to doing all kinds for me.
He's trying to pay back my debt, so he's working at the bar.
He's a musician.
He plays music for the customers.
The pay's pretty good.
Sometimes rough customers get on his case,
but he kisses up to them with a smile.
All that for my sake.
What did you do?
How did you make him fall for you?
If I can imitate it, I want to try it.
He's not living that way for my sake.
He's only trying to forget you.
It really sucked hearing your name from his lips.
I'm happy with what he'd done for me.
I mean it.
No one's ever regarded me with respect before.
I was treated like an object, a hostess...
I know the world too well.
It's no bowl of cherries.
Convince him and take him away.
I don't smell anything.
The place has been aired out, so it should be okay.
Eun-ho!
I smell something here.
Close your eyes and smell.
Why, you...
Don't give me that sad look.
You acted all cool, so why can't you forget one man?
If you keep this up, I can't see you anymore.
I was going to kiss Jung-eun tonight.
I have to postpone it to tomorrow because of you.
Min-jung...
Eun-sub and I were having a drink before, and he said...
that the more he gets pushed away, the harder it is for him to give up.
It's the same for me.
Put this on.
Make it fun.
Dance.
Come on.
Dance.
Loosen up.
Should I disappear?
Would that solve it?
If it's that hard, I'll go away.
I'll go someplace where you'll never find me.
Don't be like this.
I can't live when you're like this.
What do you care? This is my life.
Really?
Yes, really.
Really?
Yes!
Eun-sub!
Don't cry.
Just concentrate.
What happened?
Concentrate, I said.
If she'd lost more blood, it would've been dangerous.
I know, jerk.
So just shut it.
Hold.
Is this your way of not giving up?
What?
Because you're being pushed away?
You stab people for that?
You stabbed her?
Crazy jerk!
She'll be okay, won't she?
We have to wait and see.
She's in shock.
You're not throwing up at the sight of blood.
I don't throw up anymore.
What stopped it?
Jung-eun's nosebleed...
Don't stop.
Don't use her name so casually.
Jung-eun, Jung-eun, Jung-eun...
Close it up.
Where did the patient in room 1310 go?
Dr. Koh Eun-sub...
~For fear that I'll be happier than you
~I cry a little longer
~Regretting the day I left you
~Hating time for rolling mercilessly on
~Into tomorrow
~All the while asking it to stop
~Just for today
~Just for this one day
~Without even realizing it
~I've confessed my love for you
~Can't you hear it, my confession?
~Because you're too far away
~Because your memory is so faint
~You don't even notice my tears now
~Forever you alone in my sight
~If by chance we run into each other
~Be kind like you were back then
~Like you were that day
~I dreamt my dreams every day
~Looking into your two eyes
~I'll never find them anywhere again
~The conversations the two of us had
~Must all be forgotten
~To pursue your newfound love
~I'll lose myself in the crowd
~And erase them all for good
Eun-sub...
Min-jung, buy me a drink.
The sun's still out.
Buy me more drinks while you're at it.
You won't talk, you won't eat, you're just drinking like a fish.
What's going on?
Min-jung.
No matter how much I drink, I can't get drunk.
Where are we?
My dad was born here.
Don't worry, it's empty now.
How long have I been here?
He must be so worried...
Don't worry about it.
Did you tell Eun-ho?
We're not in Seoul, are we?
We'll go back when you get better.
Until then, don't talk about anything else.
And from now on, don't jump in like that.
You could've died.
Your wound is deep.
Eun-sub...
I have to get back.
I know, we're not going to live here!
Don't shout like that.
Leave if you can.
You can't go anywhere without my help.
You know what I'm like, and you want to get on my nerves?
There.
Are you going to go on working there?
Stop nagging me.
My mom's nagging is quite enough.
You won't let me talk or do anything.
You should conserve your strength, so don't talk too much.
Lie down.
I don't want to...
Lie down, I said.
I don't want to...
Hello.
Eun-ho's had a little too much to drink.
Dad...
I was so lonely.
Hello?
It's me.
Are you cold?
No, it feels nice.
I wish it were spring.
Then we'd see flowers.
Eun-sub.
Eun-sub...
Eun-sub!
Eun-ho...
