DIRECTED by Park Sung-su
Kyung,
hey man, it's dangerous!
this girl is now in more dangerous condition!
Kyung,
why did you get off here?
I'll take you home.
get off me!
Kyung!
you two get out of my sight!
get out of your sight?
I have nowhere to go.
you find it yourself.
what a noisy girl she is!
don't throw it on the street.
well..no waste can here.
alright, well done!
you can throw it on the street!
hey boy,
lend me your light.
if you don't have it, forget it.
where are you going?
I'm going to buy a lighter!
enough.
Kyung,
that's enough..
did it hurt your mind so much?
I'm sorry.
my body ached so much..
so I got mad at you..
'cause my body ached so much..
yes..
you can get mad..but..
how can you say 'I won't see you'?
'cause I felt too much pain..
can't you see?
too much pain..
which part..
which part of your body aches?
my head does..
so..
what is the name of your disease?
head disease.
tell me what it is! is it a fatal disease or something like that?
yes.
are you..
kidding me now?
no, I'm not kidding.
why are you smiling, then?
I'm not kidding..
your head?
yes.
brain tumor?
yes.
is it in a serious condition? threatening your life?
yes.
now you got shocked.
yes.
now your anger is gone?
yes.
that's good.
now your anger is gone away.
only a shocking truth can drive your anger away!
let's go.
I'll take you home.
you don't have to follow Mirae's words.
you're worried I can't find my home?
because I got a disease?
Kyung,
you got tired from telling me about it.
exactly.
I..pretended to be alright a while ago,
but I almost.. fell in a faint.
you wanna get on my back?
Kyung,
you're very interesting.
your reaction is very weird, I'm having a cancer, you know.
very funny.
why do you not get an operation?
it's a very complicated story.
well..
why did you start to go out with me?
down the road,
I might get crazy.
I also thought about that..
maybe I must not see you..
but I couldn't help seeing you.
I just couldn't help it. what else could I do?
oh, I'm in agony.
same here..
it's tough for me, too.
but I felt the same.
I couldn't help seeing you.
what could I do?
right?
by the way..
do you feel okay now?
yes.
I'm okay.
it's very strange..
I'm not sad, either.
well..
what can I do for you?
tell me.
you don't have to..
you don't have to do anything.
okay.
I will..
I will do nothing..
and I..
know nothing.
why did I..
hit your head a while ago?
Boksu,
I'll be careful with your head.
it's good to hear that.
and your anger is gone, too.
can I smoke over there?
sure.
( I can feel the autumn breeze.. )
( it's coming through the window to my empty heart.. )
( I'm just leaning on the cold wall.. )
let me do it, Kyung.
Kyung,
I feel damn great!
Kyung, you were much better than I expected,
I thought..
if you knew about my disease,
you'd cry..get crazy.. and you'd be looking at me weirdly..
I thought it's just gonna be a mess..!
I was worried I might get sick of you..
but you weren't like that..
you smiled for me..
although you smiled too little..
- ouch! - oh, I'm sorry.
I'll do it gently.
I'm so happy..
I can even do your hair like this now..
whoa..
life is worth living!
I can even die happy right now. nothing more to expect.
dying is..
not a big deal..
you do know what is life!
my Kyung..
it's done.
turn around, let me see your face.
( I'm always hurting you.. )
( but someday.. )
( you'll understand me.. )
( I might regret my decision.. )
( to leave you now.. )
( but it's because I love you.. )
( I can never forget.. )
( my only love for you.. )
( good bye my love.. )
do you like it?
chinese noodles are always so-so, you know.
oh..
how can you say that to me? I'm buying this to you.
how do you like your ja-jiang noodle?
you want to have this?
you want mine? not yours?
yes.
I want your noodles, too.
how about swapping?
alright.
hey, Kyung,
why are you staring at me like that?
whoa..
it feels like you're my real sister.
alright, as a real sister,
I'll let you know something very important.
what is that?
Boksu hasn't told you anything, has he?
no.
okay, I won't talk about it, either. because Boksu never wants you to know.
but..
Boksu is a bit sick, although he doesn't wanna let you know.
I know.
you know?
he's suffering from piles.
that's right.. but he's got some serious piles.
so generally speaking, he's not very healthy.
that's why I called you today, you got my point?
anyway,
don't make him tired,
don't give him a headache, okay?
I've done nothing wrong to him so far.
don't get sulky and.. make him drunk and don't ask him for tough things.
plus..
don't beat him up again, okay?
I don't beat him up.
you don't?
right.. maybe I thought you were like me.
but anyway,
don't give him a headache or you leave him!
you got it?
it's just piles..
I said, he's got serious piles!
Mirae,
what?
Boksu is not a 'guy' to you any more?
what?
when Boksu came to me, you behaved like..
you're a wife of him.
and now, you act like you're a nurse,
and I'm a guardian of him.
right..
I'm preparing to become a nurse, you know.
it's very nice for you to be a nurse to him, but..
don't make me another nurse for him, okay?
to me, Boksu is not a patient,
but a 'guy'.
I want to stay as a girlfriend to him.
giving him headaches, letting him do tough things for me, and fight with him..
I wanna do everything.
you're so selfish..
you're always doing what you want to do.
if all the people treated him..
like a patient,
he'd get stifled.
wipe your mouth, bitch.
but we still have to be ready for him.
you know nothing.
it's just piles.
he's got an anemia too!
you dropped soup on your shirts! are you a kid or what?
you'll make a hole on it!
ain't I cute?
you're dirty, not cute.
oh..your brother has come again.
if you don't like it, tell him no.
I did.
I'll crush him today.
hey, mister!
you want me to beat you up one more time?
in front of your sister?
no.
I didn't come here to see you today.
so nevermind.
then why did you come here?
Kyung!
yeah?
buy a gift for your sister-in-law by this money.
it's for her birthday.
I've been giving money to her as a birthday gift. but this time, I wanna buy a gift.
but I don't really know what to buy, you know.
keep the change, I'm leaving.
hey mister,
you can give the money to her at your home, right?
you can ask her..
about how many times a month we're seeing each other at home.
hey,
your brother's trying to make me to feel jealous, isn't he?
well.. I don't know about my brother very well, either.
but, we hardly see each other at home, that's true.
I'm sure he's trying to..
make me jealous.
he's so funny.
is the scenario interesting?
no, it's so childish!
it's almost a mixture of..
every crappy stuff!
karate chop and bomb-explosion,
dozen guys are flying from the roof,
making a tornado with your arms..
Hong-Kong movies are crappy, too.
China is originally a martial-arts country,
but in Korea? can you fly from the grass roof?
it's not a grass-roof.
it's a tile-roof.
is it a tile-roof?
how can dozen guys fly from a grass-roof?
they can't even sit on it.
anyway, it's so childish. I don't find it interesting at all.
action should be childish. that attracts people.
how can a professional like you say so?
I'm disappointed by you, director.
professionals just want money, understand?
you're always boasting about your money, let me see your bank account now!
is your hand okay?
yes.
when you say it's okay, I'll take it as 'okay'.
is it really okay?
yes, okay.
alright,
let's get some training.
- Boksu, - yes, sir.
- your footwork is weird. - my footwork?
it's not very fast.
and you gotta hit him 3 times.
it's not like, hit! hit!
it's like..hit! hit! hit! you gotta hit him 3 times, okay?
- get the rhythm, okay? - yes, sir.
do it again.
you alright, Boksu?
my girlfriend is a musician.. keeping rhythm is a piece of cake to me..
ready!
doesn't it hurt?
no.
by the way, why did you want to see me here? something interesting here?
it's close to your action school..
and close to my rehearsing studio.
but we have nothing to do here.
let's go to a different place.
no, I gotta go back to the studio soon.
let's buy some cokes and..
drink 'em in the hospital.
hospital? do we have no better place to go to?
it has benches..good lawn grounds.. and it's very spacious!
patients are wearing very comfortable gowns.
I want to get one and wear it as my pajama.
oh..that looks fun!
I'd like to get on.
Boksu, buy me a wheelchair.
I don't want to walk any more.
will you?
you must be crazy..
I knew it when you insisted to see me at a hospital.
Kyung, you gotta see a psychiatrist!
the shock couple days ago might have made you like this.
okay, I'll see a psychiatrist,
and you..
get a treatment on your brain tumor, okay?
there's no hope left for my brain.. I told you..
I know there's no hope..
but we gotta hang on to it..
we gotta hang on to each other..
hand in hand..
if there's any hope for just '1' more second in your life,
we gotta hang on to that '1' second.
you're having so much pain in your head?
I'm having too much pain in my 'skull' every morning..
what is 'skull'?
don't you know that 'skull' means brain? you idiot.
you're so smart..
this can ease the brain pressure.. that's what doctor said to me..
this can ease the pain in my brain..
now you see? I told you!
you should've seen doctor earlier!
don't speak loud like an old woman..
doctor told me that too much use of this medicine can do harm..
but you have to ease your pain.
- by the way, do you know how to inject this? - yeah,
just put this into my arm, that's what they said.
aren't you scared?
sure I am.
I don't think.. I can put this to my arm..
let me do it for you.
yes.
oops!
yeah..
you look like a real nurse.. ouch!
( drugs? )
done.
how could you..
you're scary, Kyung.
it's fun.
this is..not a drug!
this is a medicine for a brain tumor..
what?
it's not a drug.
this guy has a brain tumor.
you guys never heard about the brain tumor?
now you're going back to the studio?
yes, and you?
I'm gonna look for my 'headache'.
your mom?
his address?
( name : Kim Sung-ho )
Sung-ho!
Boksu!
you're moved by me, right?
how's your mom?
mom is..
living with daddy..
uh?
mom's now living with daddy..
your.. daddy?
I don't want to..
live with daddy..
can't we live together? Boksu?
Sung-ho,
don't tell mom I came here to see you, okay?
you're determined to quit music?
your keyboard is weird lately.
she's got mad about the thief, that's why she broke the keyboard.
stop it!
why? he's a thief, isn't he?
I told you he's not a thief any more.
good, you quit music and.. go out to play!
go out play with that thief!
you stop it! he returned the money to us!
do you know that.. I'm flattering around to help this band?
flattering the journalist.. and trying to get a chance to use a recording studio..
what have you done so far for this band?
hey,
hey pretty, relax.
you got angry?
why did you get angry at her?
okay, I'll quit.
I'm leaving.
what's wrong with you?
I'm tired, you know..
play with me for 1 hour. the 'morning band' need 1 hour to get ready.
alright.
by the way,
you quit your band for good?
no..
you just want to check this band first?
yes.
good. that's better.
same thing for me.
why are you pissed, then?
you had a dispute with your band mates?
they kept saying, 'Boksu is a thief'..
oh..
that made you to quit your band?
yes.
oh..
it's not because of a difference in musical tastes.. and not that they don't seem to have a 'future'.
but just because they've badmouthed your boyfriend?
we don't have differences in musical tastes,
and I don't care about the 'future', either..
all I want to do is.. just putting one piece of record of ours.
I don't know whether you're silly.. or I'm silly.
Chun Kyung,
I thought I knew the 'world' very well..
the world looked very clear to me.
but ever since I met you, everything's messed up.
I can't see the world clear any more! you made me like this!
Chun Kyung,
go back to your band.
that's better, right?
and I don't even have a keyboard now.
you sold your keyboard?
it's broken. it seems to be out of order.
once you touched it, everything's got out of order.
I'm the living proof. I'm totally out of order now.
I was such a playboy! but I don't even sleep with women any more.
I lost interest in that, you know.
oh,
you don't have to come here.
the keyboardist doesn't have a keyboard.
oh..stop it..
waste bag is 'money'!
that's not how you use it! put as much waste into it as possible!
you shut up..
you crawled into my place again. so you shut up and follow my words!
put it into this bag!
why are you using your left hand?
none of your business.
- your luck will go away! - I don't have any more luck to lose!
you..got angry?
have these side dishes.
these are made of organic foods..
your girlfriend made it for you?
no, my sister did.
- your sister? - don't talk to me!
have your breakfast!
finish your breakfast and go to work!
it's sunday. I don't have to work today.
you're so funny today..
Boksu, wanna see an interesting thing?
no, I don't want to.
one second. I'll show you.
I said, I don't want it!
please have your breakfast..
you have your breakfast.
it's like..
a luxury restaurant. rich people are eating and.. musicians are playing music for them.
I'm a bandsman..
and you're a prince!
Imagine you're now in a luxury restaurant!
what are you saying? so childish..
play the whole song!
it's all I can play.
you feel better?
oh..
you're a genius!
you learned it from my book?
yeah.
oh..
you're a genius..
you're matching my girlfriend so well.
am I?
alright,
now you have your breakfast, I'll play for you.
no, no..you'll feel disgusted..
oh..
do it one more time!
I'll tip you 100 won!
okay.
Kyung,
your father-in-law is now a musician, too!
Kang,
it's for Misun..
good job.
oh..you smiled.
you smiled!
where's father?
he didn't come home last night.
let's have breakfast.
well-done, mother.
you want to drive father away and take this house?
- Misun, - yes?
pray.
oh, I forgot..
why no birthday soup today?
Misun, happy birthday to you.
Kyung..
is today..
your birthday?
I'm sorry I forgot.. I didn't have a chance to look at the calendar..
you don't care about other people's birthdays, do you?
all you're waiting for is the day to divorce.
take this.
oh..
Kang, you've finally grown up! I can't believe my eyes.
I feel awkward..
rather than happy..
you should be happy, it's a gift for you.
you also used to be like this when father gave gifts to you.
it's a tradition of our family. so don't blame on her.
- you came home, father? - yeah.
father, have your breakfast.
I already had it. I gotta go out again.
give this to your mother.
( a report of divorce )
Boksu, please tell your dad about your disease.
no, if my daddy know about it,
he'll just die in no time.
I can't sleep at night, Boksu.
nobody knows about your disease now.
what if you collapsed on the street?
please tell your dad.
I can contact all the other people if anything happens..
Kyung, Junior..
only your dad remains..
I've almost become an insomniac!
tell your dad..
Mirae,
yeah,
I'll tell him about it. okay?
you're serious?
yeah.
good boy..
your head.. does it hurt so much?
yeah.
you make me to sigh..
don't look at me like that!
I'm leaving, see ya.
thank you for the side dishes.
my daddy liked it.
I'll give you some more.
no, I gotta go to work now.
- hey, your job.. - stop it..
Mirae,
yeah,
you'll become a great nurse! I'm quite sure!
it fits you so well! and you're very talkative, too.
no question about it.
you name it. I'm good at everything!
there you go..
thank you, Mirae.
when I make big money, I'll buy you a pretty nurse gown!
don't take sleeping pills even when you can't sleep, okay?
Boksu,
gowns are rationed to nurses, you idiot.
why did you fall sick?
it seems like..
you dumped me and fell sick as a punishment.
that makes me feel..
bitter..
- you're really quitting this band? - yeah.
Kyung,
let's shake hands and make peace.
don't call Boksu 'thief' again..
okay.
I'll bring him here..
often.
okay.
I'll take good care of..
my keyboard.
Kyung is really strong, you know.
'cause she's a last daughter.
- hello, - ( Kyung, would you give me an injection? )
okay.
I can't have practice today.
why?
I gotta see him today.
any problem with that?
no, I'm just..
you can go now.
forgive me today..
okay?
how come you got cold in summer?
I have to do your role, too.
you gotta do money's worth. you said you're making big money.
why are you always talking about my money?
you started it.
- is your TV commercial filming scheduled? - yeah, next week.
did you get the pay?
yes.
did you make a plot?
yes.
how?
it's a secret.
don't try to copy my idea..
I wish I can find something to copy from your plot..
hello?
mom?
mom,
how have you been?
you ran away from me..
are you happy now?
yeah, I'm happy now.
what do you do for living now?
I have no problem with living.
then why did you want to see me? you're having no problem with your life.
I got this money..
after I sold the chicken house.
Boksu,
what?
I know you came to see Sung-ho.
mom,
no way,
no way!
don't live like this.
you shouldn't live like this even when things are tough..
you know what I'm saying?
don't come back to the shitty life even when things are tough..
mom,
let's start other business..
with this money.
let us find other business..
Boksu..
other business, okay?
I'm not..
I'm not your mom any more..
I wasn't your mom even in the past.. you found me and made me your mom, that's all..
I left you long long ago..
you are not my son since then..
you are a motherless child..
you must accept that..
only then, you can be happy with your life..
I'm not happy..
I'm not happy without you..
that makes me happy, too..
because..I..
I..want to forget one of my dark memories..
only then, I can be happy with the rest of my life..
among my dark memories..
are you and your dad..
let me forget the memory of you..
I really want to..
- hey, - what?
try it.
hmm, tastes good.
recently, you're always cooking something.
none of your business.
you're seeing Boksu?
you're at it again.
I was curious about why you weren't talking about it.
you're not messing with me only when I'm sick in bed?
you're seeing Boksu, right?
yeah, so what?
that's why you're always losing..
it's no use trying to recover once broken relationship.
well, but Boksu is better..
he's better than a married man.
what are you talking about? you're so rude..
by the way, the married man isn't tempting you any more?
right..
he's just ignoring me..
he never calls me any more.
he pretended to brave, you know.
but I guess he fears his wife.
I can see how much you're disappointed..
you want this kimchi on your face?
how can you say like that to your own sister?
I can say the same thing to you..
your mother wants to keep on living like that?
yeah,
I don't care about it any more..
everybody lives their own life.. and I don't know any more about it.
you should know more..
now I'm learning..
what you know about life.
I don't know..
I don't know, either..
let us not know together..
sure.
I'll coax the sound engineer. you can have a talk with her today.
that's why I wanted you to come here.
okay.
done?
I shouldn't have put a suit on him..
but he looks good in suit..
Kyung,
he looks good in suit, doesn't he?
oh..foods can go bad..
why he isn't coming? he doesn't answer the phone, either..
what can I do?
who are you?
I'm a friend of Boksu..
I came here to give this to him..
oh..are you..the 'musician' girl?
pardon me?
are you Kyung?
yes..
Boksu's coming late today..
oh, really? good bye, then..
oh..how about a cup of coffee? please come in, Kyung.
( cut! )
- follow me. - yes, sir.
Ko Boksu!
stand on your toe!
you know me, don't you?
you're a doctor.
no, I'm not.
you were insisting that he has an anemia.
- doctor, you know what? - yeah?
- it's not an anemia. - pardon me?
you made a wrong diagnosis.
are your legs alright?
yes..
really?
yes..
( Bok..su..! )
Boksu!
don't die!
don't..
don't die!!!!
Boksu..
Boksu..don't die..
my Boksu..don't die..
Boksu..
don't die..
just don't..
don't..
cut! what's happening?
Boksu!
Boksu! you okay?
hurry!
oh, I just fell asleep for a while..
it's N.G., isn't it?
enough.
you've done enough stunt for yourself.
from now,
live as desperately as you can..
just like you did in stunting.
director!
it was N.G., wasn't it?
I want to do this.
why?
you wanna die during filming?
stop kidding any more..
stupid jerks always wanna burn out like a movie star..
don't risk your life on this.
with lessons you got from stunt..
risk your life on your life itself!
understand?
it's good to be sick.
you take me home..
I envy you..
to be sick..Boksu..
from tomorrow,
let's take some exercise together.
let's make weak spots..
stronger together..okay?
Kyung,
daddy started to paint again.
am I that ugly?
I'm so ugly on your painting..
my eyes are just dots!
you started to paint again..
I feel damn great!
this house feels warmer!
daddy..
daddy,
daddy..
dad..
daddy?
daddy,
( sleeping pills )
why..
why are you..
so cold..daddy..
daddy..

daddy!
daddy! daddy!
why are you this cold..
daddy!
oh, daddy!
