Are you all right?
Try and breathe.
Miss!
Get a hold of yourself.
Listen. Don't pass out on me.
Are you all right?
Miss.
Are you all right now?
What do you mean?
Dizziness and vomiting.
Yes.
Did this ever happen before?
Why don't you even have a car when you're a doctor?
It's at the dealer for repairs.
Is it your first time riding the subway?
It's not my first, but it's been quite a while.
You really don't know where to insert the ticket?
I thought you just slide it on the sensor like a commute card.
Really?
Then you must've been baffled
when the blockades thrust out and the alarm sounded.
Are there a lot of days when you don't have your car?
About once a year.
Then you take the subway on those days?
I take a cab.
This is such an uncanny coincidence.
I've never keeled over in a subway station before,
and I met you when I did.
There's only one day out of the year when you don't
have your car and that happened to be today.
And you took the subway instead of a taxi.
And the timing...
I was going to leave home earlier today,
but I had to take a phone call.
Had I left home five minutes earlier,
we wouldn't have met.
Isn't that a great coincidence?
If you think that way,
all encounters qualify as great coincidences.
If you put it that way...
Are you on a diet?
Do you skip breakfast or eat only grapes?
No, I wish I could have more to eat.
Is your menstrual volume high?
Is the volume high?
I don't know other people's volumes so I can't say.
Part-time Help Wanted
Where Carlos dreams,
they won't allow him to confront reality head-on.
Hence you don't know a crucial fact we've gleaned via visitors.
It's a fact of great import for people who can see.
It's that Donna Peputa is far from good looking.
I give one more point to Ignacio.
Wait.
Make rattling sounds.
And it's not ''I give one more point to Ignacio.''
It's ''One more point for Igancius.''
Yes, I understand.
Let's try again.
Thank you.
Did you quit your part-time job?
Yeah, I got a new one.
Then you should've told me. I went and you weren't there.
Did you quit for good or get a another one?
I got a new one.
- Where? - A coffee house.
- Take-out? - There are tables, too.
- Then it shouldn't be too busy. - Not really.
- Done? - Yup, let's go.
Thank you.
- Let's just put it up here. - What about that?
- I'll take the blame. - Hey...
Tape.
Where's your new job?
Why do you keep asking?
Where is it?
I'll tell you later.
Come on, where is it?
Don't try to know everything.
Hurry up and tape it.
Come on and tell me.
Later.
What are you guys doing?
Why are you covering my poster?
Oh, we're sorry.
We thought the run was over.
Are you joking? Can't you read the dates?
Does that give you license to tear our poster?
- Let's go. - Wait a minute!
Are you saying you did nothing wrong?
Why aren't you addressing me with honorifics?
- Let's just go. - Pal, have we met before?
Why are you talking down to me, huh?
What's gotten into you?
So tell me where you work.
What's that got to do with this?
Hey! Wait up!
No. Just the usual.
I was thinking about you this morning.
Whatever.
Sorry.
Still... It would be great if you can do that for me.
All right, I got it.
Yeah. I'm not sure about that right now.
Tell me if you need anything.
All right.
Where did she go?
Hello, sir.
Hey, kid.
Hello.
Oh, hi.
I'll do my best.
Rehearsal run in ten minutes.
Jung-hwa!
What are you doing here? I looked everywhere for you.
It's fake.
Sorry.
Mister, watch where you're going!
Let's go.
Wow, it's pretty.
Hey, isn't this pretty?
Yup, it is.
It really is.
You think so?
Wonder if they sell this.
Excuse me, where did you buy this?
Can't you sell this to us?
Put it back. Stop fiddling with it.
What if it gets lost?
It's not like we're...
We're not thieves.
Thank you.
Why're you so hostile all the time?
What's the matter with you?
It's embarrassing to hang around with you.
So tell me where you work.
You're truly unrelenting.
Hey!
Forget it!
What's the matter?
This scene looks familiar to me.
Where?
It feels like deja vu.
Really?
It's this mirror.
I told him that I liked it and...
It's not a hand mirror.
Huh?
Sorry, but that's not a hand mirror.
It says it's a pretty comb beret in the script.
Mr. Kim!
Where are you?
What is it?
The director says mere comb beret is insufficient.
He wants something more vivid.
He did? What?
He wants a mirror instead.
Do you have Chung-dong mirrors?
- Welcome. - Hello.
Are those for sale?
You mean Chung-dong mirrors?
How much is it?
$3, please.
Out of $5.
Do you want this?
Wait!
Here are some tickets to a play.
Are you a stage actress?
Well...
They're just complimentary tickets.
Come and see.
Thanks.
Coffee break for just you two?
Ki-bum.
Would you like something?
No, I'm O.K.
I have change.
There you go.
Anyhow, are you guys seeing each other? Did I interrupt?
Guess you are.
I got some tickets to a play. Want to go see it?
No, it's all right.
Thank you.
I thought you didn't like plays.
Thanks for the coffee.
- Thank you for the tickets. - Thanks.
In the Burning Darkness?
Jung-hwa, here.
Eat plenty.
All right. Wrap up your meal.
The audience is starting to arrive.
Already?
No, it's about time they began to arrive.
Did they line up?
For miles.
Let's finish eating, everyone.
Come join us.
I'll eat after the curtain rises.
Sit and eat.
You need the strength.
For what?
We'll begin admission.
Thank you. Enjoy the show.
Hello.
Thank you.
Enjoy the show.
Welcome.
Enjoy the show.
Thank you.
Enjoy the performance.
Which scene was that... Take a look...
Soo-hyun!
Congratulations.
Jeez, you didn't have to bring anything.
Why did you come by yourself?
He's coming, isn't he?
I didn't tell him I was coming, but he should be here.
He'll be here. Pretending to be busy all the time, the moron.
Wow, a bouquet for for Min Ki-su?
She's an acquaintance.
She's a physician.
You are? Nice to meet you.
Plastic surgeon or dermatology?
She's a psychiatrist.
Let's see...
Equus. Martin Dysart. Right?
How did you manage to become an acquaintance of a doctor?
Why not?
You're not brightest person the world.
I just think you and doctors would be so distant.
I'm a bright guy.
You mean artful?
No.
Of course we're inside. Are we standing outside?
Spare us.
You lucky dog.
By the way, we're going drinking after the performance.
Be sure to come.
Yes, I will.
Welcome.
Enjoy the performance.
What are you doing?
I wanted to introduce you to someone.
Oh.
Spot someone you know?
No.
Let's get ready.
All right.
Thank you.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all of you here tonight.
Please turn off your cellphones.
Vibration is also not allowed.
Until the entire national population of 45 million
watches our play, we will continue to perform. Straight on.
We will now start the performance with that astounding applause.
Thank you.
Where are you?
Why didn't you come along to drink?
Where are you? I'll meet you.
No, I enjoyed the performance.
You're pretty good.
I guess he didn't come.
See you later.
Hello.
Yeah, it's me.
Are you busy?
Yeah, a little.
Where are you?
Oh, Ki-su's play.
Slipped my mind.
Is it over?
Just now?
I just operated on a brain hemorrhage patient.
I'm monitoring his condition.
Director Park, the older I get,
the more I'm falling for the stage.
I'm really glad that I'm a stage actress.
You only realized that now?
Being an actor is as good as it gets in this world.
Still, I wanted to bail out at first.
I had such stage fright that I just wanted to bolt out of the theatre.
Mark my words.
Even our great veteran actress still confesses to being
intimidated by the stage,
but you guys...
Sheesh, I'm no great actress.
Stop it, Director Park.
Don't worry about it. I don't just refer to anyone as great.
Jeez, enough already.
If only we had this much audience for every performance.
And how.
Jung-hwa, where are you going?
You're leaving?
Yeah.
I can't find my keys.
What keys?
My house keys.
I think I left it at work.
I'm going to drop by to check.
See?
That's what you get for not telling me where it is.
You really look stunning tonight.
What?
Wait a minute. Don't go.
I'll just go.
Wait. I won't come with you.
Just wait for me for a minute.
Jung-hwa!
Your doors are open.
I'm sorry?
The gateway to civilization is wide open.
Karma has begun.
Great chaos will ensue.
You're still here?
Why are you still here?
I came back for something I left behind.
You're going home this late?
Yes, I guess it turned out that way.
I see.
Would you like to have a drink with me by any chance?
Why didn't you come to see the play?
Was it tonight?
You didn't even look at the tickets, did you?
Do plays start their run on Fridays like movies?
That's right.
Why?
It's just that there's another play I know that's starting today.
Are you an actress?
I'm in films.
Wow, you're a movie star?
I'm just an extra now but I'm going to become big.
I know I will.
You do?
How can you be so sure?
For instance, I'm second to none when it comes to crying on cue.
Have you ever been to a shoot location?
Nope.
It's really hectic. Cameramen,
lighting crew, costume and props...
In the midst of scores of people,
when the camera rolls, I start to sob.
I can't just blankly do it.
I make believe real hard.
I'm suffering from an incurable disease.
Then tears start to well up.
If my mom found out, she'd be devastated.
I implore my mom as I lay dying.
There's someone I love and that I want to see him
one last time before I die.
An incurable disease?
Yes, an incurable disease.
Wow, you an amazing actress.
Your technique is superb.
To me, it looks like concentration rather than acting at play.
It's astonishing concentration
in the works in such short time and utter chaos.
Is it?
That's a compliment, right?
But acting is concentration.
Is it?
You must go home late often, working at a hospital and all.
Not too often. Once in a while.
I had a major surgery this afternoon.
I was monitoring the post-op.
What was the operation for?
Brain hemorrhage.
The arteries in the brain become inflated and eventually burst.
That's a brain hemorrhage.
The patient died.
Yes, can you call me back when you're at the hospital parking lot?
All right.
Where do you live?
No, I'll just go.
I'll drop you off on the way. I called for a temp driver.
I can go by myself.
It's too late.
Come on.
Why did you work so late?
What was your name again?
Jung-hwa. Kang Jung-hwa.
Oh, Jung-hwa.
I came to look for something.
I left my house keys.
Hello?
Yes.
I'm sorry but we don't need a driver anymore.
No, it's just that...
No, I'm not driving...
No, thank you.
I'm sorry.
I must have dozed off.
Yes, you did.
Didn't the driver call?
Yes, he did.
But I didn't want to disturb you.
I'm sorry.
Look at the time.
Why didn't you wake me?
You're stranded because of me.
Bye.
Sit in the front.
I can drive now. I'll take you home.
No, I'll just go.
Get in, it's all right.
Um... Would like to come in for a cup of tea?
You have to go to sleep when you get home,
so I'll make tea instead of coffee.
Yes, that would be nice.
Don't laugh at me or take me for a freak
for saying something like this.
By any chance, haven't we met somewhere before?
Before?
In the subway.
Before that.
You seemed uncannily familiar from when I saw you first.
Like someone I've known for a long time.
Or someone I have longed to see for a long time.
Why?
Sorry for laughing.
Isn't that the routine pick-up line that men use on women?
Right.
Now that you mention it.
But...
Can't I use it on you?
To tell you the truth,
I don't sleep much due to chronic insomnia.
But I slept like baby in your car.
It must have felt disarming.
If your patient...
that you worked so hard to save dies on you,
do you feel guilty?
Can't say.
You seemed to.
While you were drinking,
you looked like you were all along.
That's why I couldn't just abandon you.
I was?
I just wanted to stay by your side.
I've finished dressing the patient in Room 501.
By the way, the department head was looking for you.
Dr. Min...
Oh, right. Thank you.
Jung-hwa has chronic insomnia.
How many hours did you say you sleep?
Two to three.
My head reels if I don't get any sleep for a single night.
How do you live like that?
How long has it been?
I never did sleep very well.
I'm sorry, one moment.
Ki-su, do you mind stepping outside for a minute?
Me? Why?
Why do mean ''why?''
She's a patient.
That's right. That's why I'm here as family and I should stay by...
I have to wait outside?
It's more easier for patients to confide.
There may be facts she'd rather not state in front of men.
She doesn't have anything like that.
Please leave.
Yes, doctor.
I'll be right outside, so relax.
She's really great.
You can just go.
I'll call you when I'm done.
That's pure rubbish.
All right, wait outside.
Good luck.
A great guy, isn't he?
Yes.
How many hours of sleep do you get on average?
One to two max, even that's not continuous.
Why do you think you can't sleep?
What do you do to induce asleep?
Do you exercise?
I work on stage.
I think I get ample daily activity.
I know. I saw you.
You did?
You were good.
Your performance was emotionally intense.
Thank you.
But our brain is such a mystical organ in that it distinguishes
between work and work out.
Really?
Housewives work all day long at home.
But to the brain, that's manual labor, not physical activity.
That's neat.
It is, isn't it?
To tell you the truth,
I have a lot of dreams.
I see a man in my dreams,
but just his backside.
I wake up in anguish.
Or I'm weeping.
Who is he?
I don't know.
But... I think he's the man of my destiny.
The man of your destiny?
I just felt that he was.
Do you have that kind of dream often?
Yes, almost every night recently.
And I feel as if I've seen him before in the exact same situation.
Oh, deja vu.
Right.
That's all.
We'll run some preliminary tests today.
We'll talk again when the results are out.
Tests?
Just standard procedure.
What this shiny particle on this side?
Can't say.
It doesn't look like anything serious.
I don't think she has any neurological malfunctions, either.
I think she's a slightly delusional.
Delusional?
She's an actress.
Are you asleep?
Want something to drink?
Ki-su.
Yeah.
I'm so exhausted.
Ki-bum! Let's eat!
Hurry up.
Brace yourself. Tada!
Dig in.
When is your play running until?
You don't even come to see.
Sorry. I'll go.
It's been extended.
Really? That's great.
Better come when in goes into the extended run.
All right.
Can you make some time?
For what?
I thought you, Soo-hyun, me,
and my girlfriend could all have dinner together.
You have a girlfriend?
Of course.
Way to go.
All right, show her to me.
Hold on.
Just one minute.
I told you I'm in films,
but in truth, I'm a stage actress.
I shoot movies as well.
I didn't lie.
It's all right if we never see each other again.
I'm just extremely concerned that you'd think that I lied to you.
And I was afraid that you might take me for someone easy.
Even if you thought that I came onto you all along,
I wanted to know why you did what you did that night.
And what you think of me...
I'm not saying that's going to change anything...
