DIRECTED by Park Sung-su
get off me.
don't kick the can.
this can annoy the patients.
hey man,
why?
no way!
smoking is fatal to the brain tumor!
please calm down.
let me tell you what's worse than smoking.
what is it?
tell me what it is.
I'm thinking about that now.
smoking is fatal, yeah I must agree..
what?
I gotta quit smoking, too.
anyway,
come tomorrow in any case, okay?
I'm not a real doctor. I'm just a trainee.
we have a real good doctor for your case.
come tomorrow again and have a talk with him, okay?
then, it may not be a brain tumor, hopefully.
it definitely is.
plus, it's in a very serious condition..
but anyway,
take MRI for the slightest hope, okay?
oh, what to do..?
what should I do now?
can the operation solve the problem?
I can't really say,
'cause you're in a serious condition.
then just forget about me!
when it's that serious, there's nothing I can do about it, is there?
I'll lose my job,
if you don't come back tomorrow.
I don't give a shit.
don't throw way a new cigarette!
hey man,
don't put other people in trouble even when you're dying.
hey,
come tomorrow.
please.
come here tomorrow and hear you saying again that I'm gonna die?
well, you shouldn't run away from this.
you gotta hear it again and again 'til the day you die!
only that way, you can get strong and prepared.
- hey man, - what?
which one do you prefer? between trying to stay alive while you're suffering so much,
or just giving up and die? tell me which one you prefer.
I don't know..
you don't know yet? then you have no reason to make fuss about your death now!
there's gonna be a time when the death is just in front of you.
then you really don't wanna die. you just refuse to die.
you don't wanna be dead even after you've died!
I guess..
only then, you can really 'live'..
you can really 'live' when you know you're alive..
you..
don't get what I mean?
no..
you idiot.
go straight home and have a sleep.
don't wander around or drink tonight.
see you tomorrow.
you promise, okay?
don't make me lose my job.
what kind doctor is he?
I said I'm not a doctor yet!
he's so funny..
he's not a doctor?
yes, he's funny..
did I get punished?
I hate Boksu so much!
tell Boksu to get the puppy back to me,
or I'll bite him.
it's not because of Boksu.
the puppy ran away because it didn't like you.
you loved the puppy, but the puppy didn't love you.
just forget about it.
forget the bitch.
okay?
you're so funny.
are you guys sleeping now?
it's not a time for bed yet. I'm serious!
hey,
are you guys avoiding me?
I know you pretend to sleep.
hey!
Mirae!
Hyun-ji!
hey!
if you don't answer me, I'll kill myself.
oh, my damn brain!
do you hate me that much?
what the hell have I done so wrong, huh?
other people are living happily, doing bad things..
why me?
why only me?
it needs to be washed again..
oh..
what can I do?
what do I have to do now?
go to the hospital,
take MRIs..
somebody.. somebody please stop me..!
hey, stop me please!
me..
please stop me..
stop me from dying..
please..
oh..
I don't want to die..
really..
I really don't want to die..
I don't want..
really..
don't want to die..
( lie..your lie.. )
( I don't give a shit.. )
( lie..your lie.. )
( life..your life.. )
hey, turn on the mic!
I didn't turn it off.
get out of here!
we'll definitely pay the rent at the end of this month, we promise.
I don't trust you.
please give us 1 more month..
you guys don't even have money to pay the rent?
please..
it's not just 1 month overdue!
as much as 5 months! and I'm not doing a charity here.
okay, you shut up.
hey, let's pack up and get out.
what are you saying?
tell me address here.
hello,
moving service please.
turn the ramp on! we're moving out.
hey!
what are you doing here?
what did you do today?
I love to watch you loafing around at home..
you already..
quit what you used to do, right?
are you now making your plan for the future?
what are you trying to do?
your foot stinks.
okay, I'll wash them myself.
why hot water?
it's hot today.
just in case you get cold.
toes don't get cold.
what's this?
you came home for lunch, right?
can you cook fish, too?
I used to work in the kitchen when I was behind bars.
jail helps, sometimes.
don't talk about jail again.
daddy,
take this,
eat a lot of fishes and vegetables..
so that you never get sick.
you don't get sick, either.
ouch..
I've bitten my tongue!
it's all because of you!
he made a nice lunch, he really did.
let's move into this basement.
take your instruments down.
what is this basement?
somebody locked the door.
hey,
give your hammer to me.
here you are.
what are you gonna do?
hey Byulli,
what place is this?
it's a rehearsing studio.
I mean, 'what place is this?'
I said, 'a rehearsing studio'.
I mean, who's studio is it?
mine.
you broke the door lock?
who is she?
the landlady.
you stop there!
mom, stop it!
my friends are watching us.
you promised not to be a musician.
you said, 'just 1 album and quit music.'
that's why I gave the money to you.
you promised so, right?
no. I will be a musician!
wow..
she's so cool.
76, 77, 78, 79..
80, 81, 82, 83, 84..
85, 86, 87..
you can't make it to 100?
look at me.
I'll show you how.
oh..
you have a good balance, though.
then, you can learn my balance.
- Sung-ho, - huh?
you wanna get on my back?
why?
cause I want to get you on my back.
get on.
you're so heavy.
hey,
why?
do you like me?
yeah.
who do you like better? me? or..your mom?
my mom.
how come you like her?
hey,
yeah?
feel good, right?
yep.
mom!
yeah..
I don't know why I'm feeling guilty about it.
why do you have him on your back? you're so energetic, huh?
oh, doesn't work?
should be working.
new ra-mens are always coming to the market..
I gotta taste all of 'em..
hey mom, have you tried this ra-men?
oh..
right, I gotta get a nice suit like that one!
that's a real meaning of life, you know.
yes it is.
by the way, can I buy the tie as well?
shut up.
if you want 'em, go out and buy them yourself!
why are you grumbling here?
what? you miss the money you gave back to me?
you want it back?
mom, how can you be like this to me?
think about it, mom.
I think you should appreciate my money so far, don't you think so?
but, you're now just.. how can you be like this to me?
that's mean..
you want me to throw the money to you again?
I didn't say I want the money back..
I just want ra-men..
can't you cook one for me?
there hasn't been nothing you've done for me so far, am I right?
you want ra-men that much?
go and buy ra-men, I'll cook it for you.
forget it.
hey Sung-ho,
you go and buy the ra-men.
mom..
I'll cook it for you, don't worry..
buy 3 of it, Sung-ho.
you want eggs on it?
can't you get together with dad again?
someday.. I might not be coming here..
you see?
I don't really know when it's gonna be..
but I bet you'll miss me.
I don't think you can live without my money.
I won't miss your money.
without you, I'm free.
what are you doing?
if he's not coming..
I think I'm gonna hate you.
he'll..
he'll be coming.
I'm sure..
how can I help you?
I'll take this.
alright.
how much is it?
it's 800,000 won. ( = $800 )
what happened?
this puppy is too small..
because it's a puppy.
no, there're big puppies, too.
I'll come again.
hey girl,
you don't have money, do you?
no.
you're not on time!
uh..the puppy is.. above my financial ability..
let's get in!
where are we going?
hurry! it has already started.
this is..
the very first time for me..
to watch movie with a girl's hand in mine..
hey,
you didn't buy the tickets, did you?
you envy me?
if you're with me..
you can watch movies by free for all your life!
he's a gross..
hey, I can't see it!
why are you waving the towel?
that gives me dirt!
let me see the game, please!
I can't see the ball!
you girls want me to see the game?
or your bodies, huh?
why are you girls dancing with sexy tops on?
hey man, what do you think?
I tried to calm down.
I really tried..
but you keep on driving me crazy!
hey,
I bought a cell-phone for you.
you carry it with you, okay?
but if you don't carry it and don't answer me..
then..
I'll stifle you to death with this vinyl bag!
you understand?
one more thing,
you buy Hyun-ji a new puppy!
you made her to lose the puppy!
don't read my article!
there's nothing I can do here..
do you have cigarette?
give me one.
you can take it by your hand, can't you?
I have no free hand now. I'm working.
you want to smoke here?
people don't like to see women smoking.. they might speak ill of you.
hey, I'm out of here.
wait a second, I almost finished it.
why the hell!
don't raise your voice to me, we're in office now..
you're so strange, honey.
I said I'll make money and buy you a puppy back!
you think I'll just run away?
yes, I do.
is that why you keep me with you all day long?
you're my puppy until I find the puppy again.
did you bring your puppy to work before?
who brings puppy to his own office?
why do you keep me here, then?
why?
see this screen.
(because I'm so lonely..)
(I just want to see you.. what else can I do?)
if you're with me.. I'll buy you nice dinners.
okay?
yes!
now I got you!
you're eating so well.
oh, you agree?
you're watching movies everyday?
the movie critic is on a maternity leave now. so I'm backing her up.
but I mainly write about music.
how about you?
I'm a musician.
oh, you're a celebrity?
I haven't heard about you.
are you a new-figure?
did you hit the TV?
I'm in a rock band.
oh, in an indie band?
from independent rock scene?
what's the name of your band?
'the incompletion'.
incompletion.. I haven't heard about it.
we're not famous.
we don't have a record yet.
what happened?
we're perfect matches to each other!
a perfect match of real musical people!
oh, you play too?
no.
then you're not a musician.
did I hurt your feeling?
it doesn't matter if you're a musician or not.
you finished?
not yet.
let's go.
driver!
yes?
would you pull over for me?
I gotta catch a thief.
isn't this car-stereo nice?
these speakers rock!
yes.
this system just fits musical people like me, you know.
I really wanted to show it you.
that's why I took you out of the restaurant early.
to show you that I'm a real musical person.
I thought I hurt your feeling.
if it was not for this car-stereo,
I could've been hurt by you.
you seem to like jazz so much.
you don't like it, honey?
not really.
journalists usually like jazz.
why?
to pretend to be a high-class.. it feels like I'm a high-classed New Yorker.
why are you so sarcastic about your taste?
if you like it, that's it.
oh, I forgot.
open the cabinet.
take it out.
you take it.
I'm sorry?
I bought it to pretend to have a good taste,
but I'm too busy to use it.
now it's yours, honey.
wow..
you're moved, aren't you?
yes.
what else do you want me to do for you?
this car can open its roof.
you wanna see that?
no..
why?
'cause it can be embarrassing.
I can't really understand..
why people are driving a convertible in a crowded city like Seoul.
where exactly is your home!
you tell me!
you may..
open the roof.
may I?
this car is better than that one, you know.
we can show it off, can't we?
oh!
hey you!
damn!
that scared me so badly!
aren't you scared?
you!
are you playing on this street?
you're so fast and sticky..
give it back to me.
I gave up!
what is your 100m record?
how fucking old are you?
it has nothing to do with you.
about 50?
I used to be very good in the old days, you know.
what's this all about? don't live like this any more.
see? what a shame on you!
you want to get looked down on by young people like me?
oh, your wallet has just nothing in it!
you want to live like him?
'till you die?
no, I don't.
no.
don't live like him, Ko Boksu.
okay?
let me know your name.
Chun Kyung.
Chun Kyung?
Chunky?
I'm sorry?
I'm always not funny, you know.
my name is Han Dong-jin.
good bye.
well..
are we going out together?
there's no question about it!
you got on my car, you know.
and you took my mp3 player, too.
I don't really get what's going on.
that's the way it is.
only then.. we can fall in a burning love..
if you can understand what's going on with your love,
then you're on the highway to a boring marriage.
you can't be happy that way.
without a memory of burning love,
you can't be happily married.
at least, I couldn't.
let's challenge it together,
okay?
I got a crush on you at first sight.
from the time you got..
a slap on your face..
I don't really know..
I thought you were cute,
that's all I can remember.
I don't really know..
whether I got a crush on you or not..
Kyung!
I trust..
my instinct.
all you have to do is just to follow me.
next time we meet..
let's have a kiss, okay?
is your face alright now?
it was stifling, wasn't it?
take this.
I'm too hot-tempered, ain't I?
yes, you are.
but that's..
not necessarily your fault.
I'll try to control my temper.
why?
you're okay just as you are.
if you try to change your personality, you'll get crazy.
take this,
instead of the puppy.
don't raise live ones.
it hurts your mind when you lose it.
you!
you get out of here!
I'm gonna kill her.
don't be cruel to Hyun-ji..
without me, there's gonna be no reason you get angry about her.
that's why I'm sorry for her.
Mirae,
what?
even if I'm so lucky to get married to you..
I think..
I think I'm gonna be a bad father.
I think Hyun-ji already figured it out.
let's stop it.
I don't think we can make it.
you just..stop it.
you turn your back on me.
you wanna die?
yeah, I want to die.
hey, you jerk.
you wanna be beaten up by me? 'till you die?
why do you think you're not that good?
how can I live without you?
where can I find a guy like you again?
oh, you're always crying like a crybaby..
hey..
great Mirae!
well..
I don't really.. I don't really know what I can do for you..
there's nothing I can do for you..
Mirae..
don't trust me.
I don't.
just stand by me..
as long as I need you.
okay..
your mom is doing nothing.
my mom has been so from the start.
before you got married to my brother, my mom used to hire a house-maid.
the house-maid was a real nice person.
but today's your father's birthday, you know.
how can your mom go to the swimming class today?
I had to miss the church.
we hired a cook today, so there's not much left for us to do.
we still have a lot to do.
your father wants to have a big birthday party,
it's an all-day party, you know.
how can your father have that many friends?
was he a lonely kid?
and why does he have a party at home?
he owns a hotel, you know.
I'll take this dishes out to the party.
well..he's so strange.
he's so harsh on you.. saying you're lazy and wandering around..
but he takes care of your mom so much!
he should know that spoils you more..
I'll take it out.
let's go together.
oh, I forgot.
Kang wants you to call him.
why?
I have no idea..
but at least he won't kill you, don't worry.
she really doesn't have manners..
did you gain a lot?
it's one million. cash it for me.
hey, Kyung.
I told you to cash it.
why do you give it to her?
is she under your command?
no news?
I'm sorry?
no news of baby?
she's always praying to the father about it.
but the father is so stubborn.
I guess she gotta give him more money.
does your father don't want you to have a baby?
father god, I mean.
her father is the god.
your father isn't sending you any message?
I'll be back soon.
how about your daughter?
my daughter?
isn't she from art school? majored in piano?
she doesn't want to go abroad to study music..
and doesn't want to open a kids piano school, either..
then, what she's doing now?
she's playing an organ in the night club.
really?
can you..
sing a song for us, then?
how about a birthday song for your father?
I'm not good at singing.
how can a musician be not good at singing?
just sing an old-fashioned song for us.
that sounds nice.
( on the debris of an old palace.. )
( night has come, )
( and the moon is silent.. )
stop it! you stupid!
sounds like a funeral song..
it's not her fault, your friends wanted it.
oh, honey, you came?
I didn't ask her to sing.
get inside, Kyung.
you don't have to help this party. let the cooks do it.
oh, your wife doesn't seem to get old.
your wife and daughter,
just look like sisters.
isn't she still sexy?
you guys envy me, right?
he's born to be so shallow..
she jokes too far.
what's too far?
she's right.
I'm shallow by nature.
okay,
I get 150,000!
mom,
oh, you were there?
yeah.
you got some food?
yeah I did.
you want some money?
no.
why?
what?
why did you stop calling?
did I?
you did.
I didn't even touch the phone, you know..
I gotta get outside to help them..
see you, Kyung.
yeah.
( professor Kim Moo-young, Chun-chon university )
( I got this guitar on the street.. )
please come in.
relax, please.
you must have been having a lot of headaches..
not really..
are you not very sensitive?
it must have given you a lot of pain.
I want to take an operation as soon as possible, doctor.
operation..
yes, operation is needed.
but you're still young..
by the way,
you have a large tumor.
it's scattered all over your brain.
it shouldn't be..
it shouldn't be messed up by the operation.
why?
'cause it's all over your brain.
that's impossible.
well..
this kind of brain tumor..
has to be treated by radiotherapy.
look, listen carefully.
this part has to be cut out,
and this part is composed of kinetic neurons.
and this part is..
about the memory.
the tumor is located over these two parts.
this big tumor has to be cut.
by the way..
after operation,
you might get some problem..
what I mean by 'problem' is..
you may get a problem when you walk..
or your memory might get damaged.
in short, because it's a brain tumor,
the general function of your brain may get slowed down.
so, I shouldn't get an operation?
yes, operation is recommended,
'cause operation makes you live longer.
then, I should get an operation?
yes, you should.
however..
you might get some problem after the operation.
should I get operation? or not?
well..
it may cost you quite a bit..
but it's up to your decision.
isn't it?
doctor,
you decide for me, please.
no, I can't decide for you.
it's up to you.
if I don't get an operation, how much time is left for me?
well..
that's..
nobody knows that..
think carefully about it and..
uh..
the ugly doctor-trainee with a square face..
don't fire him, okay?
I came here to help him.
the resident chief?
he quit yesterday.
pardon me?
he said he's sick of it.
he's sick of watching people die..
oh..
I see..
doctor,
yes?
well, I'm doing tricks with my head a little too much..
did that cause a brain tumor?
if that is the case..
my brain..
must be 100% tumor.
dad..
will you live with me even after I've become a fool?
Mirae, will you live with me even after I've become a fool?
( what's up? )
working.
you're shitting outside, right?
then you gotta jump out,
to give your hubby a paper to wipe up!
okay, Boksu!
ex..
excuse me..
excu..
what happened?
the guitar..
I'm keeping it now.
which guitar?
you can steal that guitar too.
you don't steal an used guitar, do you?
who is he?
don't show up.
I can report you to police that..
you're a pick-pocket.
Boksu!
did you..
steal our money?
what's going on?
what the hell are you guys?
come on!
you killed our friend..
hello, officer.
come and arrest a thief, okay?
hey, don't do that.
they don't really know how to fight..
( police branch )
hey, you guys can go home,
and send the witness here.
okay?
you gotta be here until she comes.
- understood? - yes..
why are you saying 'yes'?
hey officer,
how can you keep him here?
the witness may have got confused!
maybe she saw some other guy who looks just like this guy!
if you can find another guy who looks like him,
you can take my building.
that's not yours, but your mom's!
be quiet!
go home.
hey,
hey!
I have nothing more to say to you..
you creep!
you don't get away?
okay, I'll go away.
he's too short!
Mirae,
yes,
you go home too.
no! how can I leave you here?
go home.
shut up!
I said, go home.
be sure to carry your cell-phone with you.
you got enough battery?
where the hell is she wandering around now? she must hurry.
hey, this is not your living room!
I feel sleepy, officer..
( smile for me.. )
( that's my last wish.. )
( don't you know that.. )
( there's no time for sorrow.. )
( you can forget.. )
( all the promises we made.. )
( then I can take all the memories we shared.. )
( with me.. )
( I got this guitar on the street. )
( I'm keeping it safely. )
( just give me a call, I'll give it back to you right away. )
( and.. )
( I apologize. )
( I apologize.. )
oh, look at you..
sgt.Park?
sgt.?
no, I'm just Jung-dal.
why are you calling me sgt.?
just call me Jung-dal.
I guess you want to know why I came here..
don't you?
no.
yes, you want to know why.
your chick,
called Junior and he contacted me.
he wants me to 'help' you.
take a look outside.
he's so afraid of police. he can't even come in.
let him go,
and send me to jail, okay?
I can't send you to jail without evidence.
you can fabricate one like last time.
I don't wanna do that again.
I'll send you to jail with proper evidence next time.
let's have a showdown, okay?
that's why I came here,
to send you home.
you want to thank me?
Jung-dal,
why?
you can never beat me.
how do you know that?
'cause I'm..
gonna die soon.
before going to jail,
I want to die. you must be sorry about that..
if you die,
I'll die too.
how can I live without you?
I can't live without you..
brother,
why?
brother,
don't take my hand.
you said you'll die too?
you said it.
you're so scary..
alright, I'll die too.
I love you, brother..
excuse me..
yes?
the guy who came here in the afternoon..
who fought with other guys..
oh, that funnily looking thief?
yes, him.
he's gone.
what?
no, no. he's not a thief.
I was confused about..oh my..
which jail has he been sent to?
you didn't go home yet?
I've been to the restroom.
you..you had dinner?
give my guitar back.
I came here to get it..
go away!
go!
you can hit me, hit me on my face!
why are you so soft-hearted?
that way, you can't survive this tough world!
did I..
did I kill..
your boyfriend..?
