I'll pay you back for the guitar when I get paid.
You don't have to.
Can I call you sometimes?
I wish you wouldn't.
Hold...
Hold me for one last time.
I must be crazy... insane...
That's why it was better than.
You drive me crazy...
Come on, you were enjoying it moments ago.
I'm really good in bed. I'll never disappoint you next...
There won't be a next time! This won't happen again!
Put that cigarette out! It's stinking up the room!
Are you really gonna marry that fucker?
Ouch!
Won-suk, stop it. We broke up.
You can go break up with him.
Don't you know what you did?
Are you dumb? Don't you get it!
Break up with the fucker!
Auntie, the door's open!
Aunt Ah-mi!
Kang... Kang-ae.
How have you been?
Go!
Why'd you do it?
Aren't you in love with the accountant?
Yeah, but it's a bit more complicated.
One thing led to another...
That's no excuse! No, I guess it can happen.
But you should've held back. You're a grown up.
- Are you okay? - It's you who's not okay.
It'll never happen again.
Same for me. It'll never happen again.
What won't?
What won't with you!
There are three things a women should never expose to others.
Infiidelity, wrinkles...
...and what she really has on her mind.
But the worst is being
exposed of the compulsion to keep these hidden from others.
I was confiident about it, but eventually I got trapped.
Leaving after you pushed me away... You're sick.
Have some gruel.
If you die, will you receive a huge indemnity from your firm?
I'm sure they'll make a huge contribution at my funeral.
I'll let you have it all.
What's wrong with them?
I guess they got sick.
Since when?
I don't know.
I did my best. It might be the change of water.
They need time to adjust.
They'll get better since they've got each other.
I won't leave you alone.
Are you proposing to me?
Was it weird? Should I try again?
It's not that, but a little background music would be nice.
Or even a tiny diamond... Don't you watch TV?
Don't be too hard on me. Can't you see I'm sick?
What brings you here at this hour?
- What about yourjob? - I didn't go.
What's up with you lately?
Mi-ran can't run the counter all by herself.
- Did you guys fight? - Want me to go?
Yeah, okay...
- Ho-jae! - Huh?
You do love me, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
I do to.
I absolutely love you.
What is wrong with you?
What is it? Did something happen to you?
I must be crazy.
I don't feel a thing.
Where are you off to this time?
You're seeing that fucker, right?
It's none of your business. So fuck off!
How can you do this to me?
You can't pretend like nothing happened between us!
I told you it was a mistake. Itjust happened!
But you enjoyed it, didn't you?!
What is wrong with you? Stop it!
You enjoyed it!
Hey, Ah-mi! Ah-mi!
Hey, Ah-mi!
Ah-mi, are you alright? Are you hurt? Let me see!
What the fuck!
Why are you trying to mess with my life again?
Ah-mi...
I'm so sick of this!
Everything gets so twisted when I'm with you! It's all a mess!
Won-suk...
What I meant was...
Hey! Where are you going? Won-suk!
You think I'm gonna give up?!
Hey! Hey, NA Won-suk.
Did you say you're sick of it? That everything's a mess?!
Hey, shoe! My shoe! Give it back!
I heard you're going to marry our Ah-mi?
I hope so.
How much do you know about her?
And I guess you know a lot about her?
Yes, quite a bit.
I had no idea you were her type.
- We're all done here. - I'll get it.
No, I should pay. This is all my fault.
I feel bad about our misunderstanding.
Use it to buy her a pair of sneakers!
What a goofball, always falling down.
But you don't have any money...
This I can afford! How much?
Just give me twenty dollars.
You give him the remaining $2.
I quit smoking.
This blows... I'm taking off!
Hey, NA Won-suk!
Take a cab with this.
Jeez, let me leave with my dignity!
Take it! And fuck your rat's-ass dignity!
If I have rat's-ass dignity, what about you?
You think keeping that dude around will make you look cool?
Wake up, KIM Ah-mi!
Lights! Foot lights slowly fade in...
Louder, louder! Like you've gone mad!
And get up...
Slow... slow... Louder, louder! Okay.
And it's a wrap. I'll see you all at 1 pm. Good job!
Good job. Good job!
- Kyung-soo, remember? - Right.
Ms KIM! We're all going for a drink.
If it's okay, join us.
Aren't you all too tired for that?
Better going home.
Ms. KIM must be tired. We'll go by ourselves, then.
No, it's okay. I was craving a drink myself. Let's go.
You're hard, Kyung-soo. Are you working out?
Not really, just practicing some exhaling methods.
Ms. KIM, why aren't you drinking? Drink up.
Ms. KIM, I heard you're single. Don't you have a boyfriend?
I do... just too many.
Wow, you really took good care of yourself.
And at that age...
Who would think you're 40? I'm so jealous. Extremely.
You seem to be on a roll... Drink up.
It's funny how you use your chopsticks.
Try this.
Keep your thumb still...
...and move your index and middle finger to pick things up easily.
Practice and you'll get used to it.
No thanks. I have no trouble eating like this.
It'll be uncomfortable for a while,
but with a little patience you can eat without dropping things.
Ah-mi... don't you want to go to Hollywood?
Why? Are they looking for a spunky writer who's terrible with chopsticks?
My dad wants to meet you.
You can write from there, study or do whatever you want.
I don't care if you serve me noodles everyday.
But I'm awful with chopsticks.
You're going to work on it, won't you?
Mind if I play a record?
It's just a teenie tiny diamond. And we've got background music.
When did you prepare all this?
I was so anxious when things weren't going as planned.
It went nothing like my original scenario.
Let's get married.
How old are you, Yoon-ju?
28
What did I say I'd do to you...
...if you got drunk and acted like a wiseass at 28?
That you'd kick my ass.
Sis... I heard you're filthy rich.
I envy you.
Kyung-soo is so clever...
Wait, wait...
What's going on? You're scaring me...
Shit... Are you kidding me?
What is wrong with you? Are you trying to rape me?
What if I were? It's not like you'd say no anyway.
You're boring me. Go home.
Are you drunk?
Let go!
Honey, are you out of your mind?
Honey? Who's your honey?
Think simple. Why's everything so complicated with you?
Are you lecturing me? I told you not to be clingy!
You're nothing to me!
Then why are you going out with me?
If I'm nothing to you, why are you going out with me!
Then why are you going out with me?
Because I like you. I like being with you.
What other reason do you need?!
You weren't waiting up for me, were you?
Of course not.
- What's with the sighing? - What about you?
I guess my time is up.
Who knew a wedding proposal would make me feel like this.
Hey... The accountant?
But women in TV dramas are thrilled when they get a ring.
I thought so too. But I just feel so unsure.
Yeah, it's all TV hype.
We're not that simple.
We aren't?
I guess it's easier when you don't think too much.
Everything seems to be putting me in a bad mood lately.
And my body gets cold and then hot.
Hey sis, you don't think you...
If you're gonna say something stupid as love, just shut up.
I was gonna say menopause. Fuck love.
Right. That must be it...
I'll feel better once I'm married. I know I will.
You really weren't waiting up for me, right?
I told you that I wasn't.
Hey, Ah-mi!
- Hi there. - It's been so long.
You look terrible.
I knew the project was cancelled, but still...
How are you surviving?
I want to apologize for the other day.
What director can't even look after his own writer?
It was hard on you as well. I'm sorry for everything.
I did a little touch-up on it.
You finish it up.
You started it, so it's right that you finish it.
- Director... - Huh?
I'm getting married.
Married?
He'll never cancel out on me...
Congratulations.
Director!
Take it...
Anyway it's yours.
It's your baby.
You're applying for a US visa?
Yes.
- And yourjob is? - I'm a screenplay writer.
So are you working for a film company?
She's a freelance writer.
But her screenplay hasn't been made into a film yet.
No, my screenplay is about to be made into a film.
- Okay. - Freelancer...
That will complicate things.
How about saying you're a lecturer at a private institute?
What?
The Americans immediately treat you as an illegal alien...
...if you don't have a stable job.
Especially for single women.
But I never went near a private institute.
Don't worry about that, Professor KIM!
What's the balance in your bank account?
Uh... it's...
Hey, people in the arts don't pay attention to those things.
They're not like us.
Then why don't you transfer $30,000 to her account.
The rest will be fine once all the right documents are in.
Hey, do you remember our classmate, the raving lunatic?
Yeah.
He's running a private institute in a rich neighborhood.
What's wrong with you lately? I haven't seen you at work.
Did I do something wrong?
I'm not feeling well.
Really? You're well enough to meet Ho-jae...
...but too sick to answer my calls, right?
I'm leaving for Brazil.
I wanted you to be the first to know.
But you keep ignoring my calls and text messages.
When are you leaving?
Next week. My dad's sick.
How come you're so quiet?
Does my leaving mean nothing to you?!
Bullshit! You're the one who's leaving!
What is there for me to say?!
Hey! Over here.
What happened? An accident?
He didn't want me to tell you...
...but he was driving drunk and hit a guard rail.
Where did he get the car?
It's mine.
This way.
Don't worry, he won't die.
But I will, by my dad...
Welcome.
It's Americano, right?
I'd like a cappuccino. No sugar and a lot of foam.
Okay.
Have you ever taken it like that?
Try it next time. It's fucking tasteless.
You must be busy with the performance coming up.
For now let's just focus on work.
I'll call you when it's all over.
Are you breaking up with me?
You had your fun I'm a little fed up.
Okay then let's end it. Just like that.
I was actually tired of humoring a senior citizen... Fine.
That's the reality of a bit part actor.
Was that for me to hear?
If you hear me, fine, if not, I don't care.
You're good at that, right?
Have a good life.
You too.
A happy ending in reality... Is it really impossible?
Telling your beloved that you love them.
Holding onto the memories after the breakup.
And using it as a steppingstone to becoming a better person.
I wish there was a referee in our life.
To give us a yellow card when we do something dangerous.
And foul us out when we commit a violation.
How long do we have to continue this game that has no rules?
Will happiness come when this game's all over?
What I mean is a Gibson's not necessary for a beginner.
But my son needs to start with the best.
He has his pride.
This has its pride too you know?
If I want to buy an expensive one who're you to say?
Is this the only guitar shop around?!
What kind of business is this? Let's go somewhere else.
You can't take care of another person's shop like this.
I'm going to tell Yong-gyu.
How are you feeling? Are you alright?
How about you? Your eyes are sunken in.
Ah-mi... I'm sorry.
I've been such a jerk.
No you haven't. I'm the one who's sorry.
I'm going to another audition. The conditions are not great...
...but I'm gonna try it out.
Will it be okay?
Don't laugh if I happen to start out in dance music.
Don't worry. You won't see me clowning around on a TV show.
Ouch!
What is the purpose of your travel to the United States?
My fiance is a US citizen, and I need to visit his family...
before the wedding.
Ms. KIM, you have 30 Million Won in your bank account,
and the purpose of traveling in the US is
to broaden your experience, is that correct?
Ms. KIM, you have 30 million Won in your bank account you are a teacher in Korea
and you are visiting the US to broaden your experience. Is this correct?
Hey! It was easy, wasn't it?
Let's visit your sister before we leave.
What does your niece like?
Take a look at this.
That's the screenwriters' school in LA.
You know C.S.I., right?
A writer on that show is from that school.
Didn't you say you don't watch television?
It's all written there.
Take a look.
Forget it. I wouldn't know even if I did...
Want me to read it for you?
Later.
- Seung-won. - Huh?
I have something to tell you.
That you love me? I do too.
That's not it.
I'm not a lecturer nor do I have. $30,000 in my bank account!
Everyone does it.
But that's not me!
You're feeling bad because you're too honest.
Won-suk, the guy you met the other day, isn'tjust a friend.
We've been over that.
I...
I slept with him. While I was seeing you.
I like you...
...but I can't go on this way.
Do you still... Iove him?
No.
Then why...
Why are you telling me this now?!
I don't know...
I don't, but I feel that it has to be now. I'm so sorry.
I love you, I love you, I love you love you love you
I love you...
- How about a cup of coffee? - What?
Or tea?
No thank you.
Suit yourself.
Kang-ae.
Forget it, go without me.
Why won't you come with me? Stop pretending to work so hard.
Stop being such a pest!
We were gonna take my bike out for a test ride anyway.
I'm not interested!
Hey, Mi-ran told me to give this to you.
Amare de korajae...
It means something like love is courage.
I envy you Kim Kang-ae.
Where are you going?
Sorry! Cover for me this one time!
Hurry and start the engine!
Ho-jae, I'm sorry!
What? I can't hear you!
I'm sorry! And... thank you!
Hold tight!
Kang-ae! Go.
I'll be waiting here.
Amar...
Garota... Garota.
Garota!
Doofus...
Don't go, Mi-ran...
Amar... Amar garota.
Amar e de coracao, garota.
That's how you say it, you doofus.
Welcome!
Are you closing up?
No, have a cup of coffee.
It's Americano for you, right?
I'll have a cappuccino, without sugar and a lot of foam.
Okay.
Here's your cappuccino.
I'll pay first.
It's okay. Your friend has already paid.
Excuse me?
Remember the man you came with the other day?
He told me to serve you coffee whenever you came again.
He paid with all the money he had on him.
You've got quite a few more drinks to go.
It's fucking tasteless, isn't it?
You said you'd call when the play's all over.
But the play's still running...
Not that play, yours...
It's over, isn't it? I don't care if it's not.
I almost died from waiting.
Didn't I tell you not to be clingy?
Let's go.
Where to?
I'll help you feel it.
Amusement park again?
No, bungee jumping.
'... bear the most severe pain... '
Director!
Director, I was wrong.
I was wrong for ignoring you and thinking badly of you...
...and also vowing that you'd never make a film.
But I really did work hard.
Let's try for the last time.
But you said you were getting married...
I guess I'm not ready yet!
Yeah, but you said he'd never cancel out...
Who in this world never cancels out?
Be quiet over there! Shut up!
Ms. KIM...
Our project might never see the light of day.
Then we should make it work! Don't you have any guts?!
It's my baby.
- How have you been? - Fine.
Good news?
Yeah, I started working again.
I'm happy for you. I climbed the length of Mount Jiri.
I waited three days to see the sun rise, and I did.
You look good.
I quit smoking.
My overseas post has been cut short.
I'll be back in the US by next month.
It was never my intention to make things hard on you.
But it was too hard for me...
I was only thinking of myself. I'm sorry.
No. There's nothing to be sorry about.
I may have been thinking of myself, too.
This is yours.
I was really happy while we were together.
Ah-mi.
Let's never meet each other again.
Let's try to fish each other again.
Eventually done like this, but I have no regret.
When feel regret it will be past thing.
He gave me a rign,
but I recived a hope.
Elders first.
No, pretty ones first.
I'm gonna be late for school.
I own this place!
Don't make such a big deal about owning this place.
Yeah, especially when I've been doing all the sweeping and dusting.
Have you gone mad?
Hurry up!
Dinner's on me today!
I don't care.
Ah-mi, a sanitary napkin! Lend me a sanitary napkin.
Come on.
What did I tell you? I said I didn't want to do it.
Your hair looks terrible. Like a wig...
It's a mess.
At first it's all like that. You'll get used to it.
Yeah, okay. Anyway, where are we going?
Aren't you hungry?
What are you up to? Do you know where we're going?
We never did you know.
We'll just walk and enter wherever we feel like.
Of course, the Ending. I mulled over was not like this.
I still get confused over a simple thing like doing my hair.
But now I don't mind too much.
My hair will grow back.
And if I don't like it, I can always change it.
I am confiident, and even though I may fall, I'll get back up.
There will be many painful things to come...
...but for now, I'll courageously march forward with a smile.
Yes! There's nothing more to life! It's just moving forward!
