Knee to knee
Ja-young. Wake up now.
It's bad for you to sleep in.
Good morning, everybody.
It's a beautiful day.
I'm Michael Jackson.
OK, OK you're doing a good job.
Don't bring my lunch to the pharmacy today.
Yes, ma'am.
Huh?
- My younger brother, Ji-cheol. - Yeah.
He thinks he's Michael Jackson.
It's just a hobby.
I get scared whenever I see Michael Jackson.
He fulfills all of Nostradamus' prophesies
about the end of the century.
He can be gross sometimes
but sometimes he's cute, too.
Maybe he's so popular
because he looks like a mischievous fairy.
I don't know.
I don't know if he is a fairy or a devil.
But I don't think he is doing us any good.
That's why you have that nickname.
What? Antique?
Yes. Why don't you try getting with the times?
If you're so old-fashioned, I may have to run away from you.
Well, do you think you can?
I may be old-fashioned
but you never get bored with your old favorites.
Will you go to Summer Music Camp this year?
I will try.
Then teach me how to swim.
I can teach you how to swim.
I didn't ask you.
I am the swimming master. They call me Seal.
What type of swimming do you want do learn?
The breaststroke, freestyle, or the butterfly?
I want to learn how to do the doggie paddle.
I'm good at the doggie paddle.
I do it the authentic Korean way.
No way, it's for dogs only.
You should try the butterfly. It's just like flying like a butterfly.

You're home early today.
Did anyone come?
- Your father is home. - Who is my father?
Your father.
Do I have a father?
Shh...
- Bo-young came. - Hi.
How have you been?
Say hello to him.
What's up? What brings you here?
My, how you've grown.
I guess I should go now.
Oh, my...
It's been a while, you should have dinner here.
It's OK. I'll be back sooner or later.
Come to my office some time.
Don't tell Bo-young what we discussed today.
- Ok. - Good.
You're such a rude girl. You should have behaved better.
What's he doing here?
He doesn't need a reason to come here. He just wanted to check up on us.
You don't have to tell me why.
I don't want to know either.
French Embassy in Korea French Culture Center
- Should I buy a pamphlet? - Yes.
Here you go.
I'll take one of those, please.
Thank you.
Is it always so crowded here?
If you don't come early, you can't get a ticket.
Oh, my!
Oh, my! What are you doing here?
I came here for the movie, and you?
I come here all the time.
You came alone?
I'm with someone.
She's my sister.
Is everything OK at home?
Well...
My father came crawling back
with his tail between his legs.
Really? He doesn't visit often?
I don't know.
He might have come when I wasn't there. But it's been couple of years.
- Your mother must be happy. - What's to be happy about?
- What time is yours? - What?
- Your movie. - Oh...
Mine's at 5, yours?
Same here. Let's watch it together.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Good bye.
This is for you and for your mother.
- What's this? - A gift.
What's the occasion?
I just wanted to give you a gift.
It's funny.
- No way. - What's wrong? Take it.
I don't understand.
- Anyway, thank you. - OK.
- I can take the bus from here. - OK.
Good bye.
Her mother is very young.
They don't look like mother and daughter.
They look like sisters.
When I see them
it seems so tragic.
Bo-young's mother lost her parents during the Korean War.
My father hired her
and helped her through high school.
I understand they loved each other.
I met Ja-young by chance today.
She looked happy with her boyfriend.
Aren't you tired of living without a husband?
If you wanted to
I bet you could find a good husband.
Thirty-eight is still young, right?
Why didn't you marry that mute guy
from the orphanage you grew up in?
You would have been happier.
And I could have been born without shame
just like Ja-young.
Don't you think so?
How can I help you?
Take this medicine after you eat.
Try it and come back for more if it works.
How much for everything?
3 Dollars.
- Here you go. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Good bye.
How can I help you?
Well,
I bought pills last time. I took contraceptive pills.
And?
I don't have periods.
And I feel like I have morning sickness.
When did you take the pill?
Were you already pregnant when you took them?
What?
You take the pill to prevent pregnancy.
Once you are pregnant, the pill doesn't do anything.
What should I do, then?
If you know who the father is, then you should keep the baby.
I don't understand you.
Oh my gosh, you're always watching TV.
Hello?
Yes? It's you.
Pardon? I can't hear you.
Hold on.
Turn it down.
Hey.
I can't hear the phone because of him.
Hey, Ji-cheol!
Hello?
Yes, I can hear you now.
Yes, everyone is home.
Yes, hold on.
Ja-young!
Get the phone.
It's your mother.
Yes, it's me.
When did you come home?
Early.
You're not going anywhere tonight, right?
No, I'm not.
Don't go out at night.
OK. I'll stay home.
Go to bed.
Yes.
Do you need a practice room?
Oh, no. There are many rooms available.
- I have something to tell you... - Yes?
Would you step aside?
I can't get out
because you're blocking the door.
Ja-young.
What's a man supposed to do
in front of such a beautiful woman?
- Are you serious? - Of course.
Then let's go out. I will tell you what I think.
Really?
OK.
I don't know who is beautiful.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Maybe you need to have your eyes checked.
Then you will know what a beautiful woman looks like.
What's wrong with you? Don't tease me like that.
See you later.
Hey, Ja-young.
Won't you spend this hot summer with me?
Vacation is coming soon
and I will take care of everything for you
at the Summer Music Camp.
Hey, Ja-young!
Who's there?
Catch him!
Stop him!
Hello?
Yes.
What?
Ok, I got it.
I will be right over.
What's wrong?
Mother, I have to go.
I don't know what happened
but my friend is in trouble.
Really? Then hurry.
You called me
about Seong Ja-young.
Are you Jo-bin?
Yes.
Come with me.
What happened?
She is lucky.
The *** could have really hurt her.
Nothing really happened. Take her home.
We caught the perpetrator and sent him to the main police station.
He has a record, so he'll probably do some time.
You may go now
Here...
Why are you so late?
How did your clothes get so messy?
What happened to you?
Answer me! Answer me!
Take off your clothes! Take them off.
Leave me alone! What do you want from me?
You are always interrogating me like a criminal.
Why can't you ever leave me alone?
You're so obsessed with purity.
I don't know.
You seem to wait until I go astray.
Ok, let me tell you what happened.
I almost did something that you would consider disgusting.
I ran into a guy in the street.
I didn't resist and I didn't run.
Do you know why?
I was scared of him
but I wanted to rebel against you.
It's all your fault.
You made me this way. I have no willpower anymore.
Why did you raise me this way?
Someday, I will be as bad as you think I am.
I didn't know that you were here all alone.
Is there anything I can do for you?
Yes.
What can I do for you?
I need sunlight. Get out of the way.
You sound like a philosopher.
I am sorry.
I may look funny but watch out.
I will never give her up.
It was my fault.
I seduced him.
Why do you think so little of yourself?
I don't know myself.
I will do something terrible someday.
What are you so afraid of?
I am afraid I will sin
- Sin? What kind of sin? - Sex.
- Sex is a sin? - Sure.
OK, anyway
But why do you think you will sin?
I feel like I'm being chased by some kind of impulse.
More often, I feel like committing sin.
Have you felt that impulse since the accident?
I already felt it then.
You want to sin.
You felt an impulse to sin.
People commit sin for themselves,
to make money, to get what they want,
to get revenge on someone,
even to feel pleasure or to protect themselves.
In your case, why would you feel
an impulse to sin?
Royal servants never serve two kings.
Chaste wives never have two husbands.
Why do you order me to your bed.
Aren't I as noble as your wife?
Let Choon-hyang be.
Aren't we all the same?
Anyone can be noble.
When misfortune befalls the country
would you surrender when invaders come?
Would you serve two kings?
Don't do this.
You should not treat anyone this way.
I know how loyal you are.
Mother rushes in.
Mother collapses before Choon-hyang.
She pulls Choon-hyang towards her.
Chunhyang, stay strong, your mother is here.
Oh my! Chunhyang is dying.
The aristocrats may rule but...
I am afraid this can't be comfortable for you.
There must be some place nicer for you to stay.
Anyway I hope you enjoy your stay.
- Have some corn. - Thank you.
I am not a chaste woman any longer.
I know that I can never again be
the kind of virtuous bride
that Korean men expect.
Strangely, I feel lighthearted now.
I had an argument with my mother,
and ran away from home, away from her restrictions.
I guess things have already gotten better.
Through my immoral behavior and desire to sin
I have found freedom.
It felt good when I argued with Mother as if I were getting revenge against her.
Now I cannot see you any more but
you have always been so kind to me
and made me feel so safe.
I just wanted to tell you everything
because you were always there for me
and were always supportive.
I am sorry if this letter upsets you.
He will make such a handsome groom
but she is also lovely.
So I think the two families should meet as soon as possible
OK, let's do it.
Let's stop talking about it and set them up.
- OK. - I understand. See you later.
Take care.
You can't tell what kind of person she is from a photo
but why don't you just try meeting this one for a change.
Both of her parents are teachers
and she is their third child.
She sounds just perfect to me.
I especially like that she majored in Oriental embroidery.
That's what really got my attention.
Have you quit drinking?
I haven't seen you drinking these days.
You used to drink day and night.
Bo-young...
You look so different. You look much younger now.
Your father sent these clothes for you.
Try them on.
Don't hold a grudge against your father. He is a good man.
Someday
you will be able to live with him along with Ja-young.
Come here. Hurry up.
Hurry...
Look at her.
You don't look like you're from around here.
Where are you from? Seoul?
Oh, you are?
I live in Seoul too but I am from here.
Isn't the air fresh here? Let me show you around.
Hop in.
Hop in, please.
Please, get in.
I have something to talk with you about.
Come with me.
I don't know how you like this place, but...
I bought it for you, it's in your name.
I have already discussed this with your mother.
I would like you to move here.
What about the house?
Your mother needs that place.
Something must be happening to her,
mustn't it?
She is going to...
get married soon.
We had to hide it. We were afraid of how you'd take it.
You have to understand your mother.
I know you must feel heartbroken.
I am so sorry to tell you to live alone
since you had such a Ionely childhood.
I am OK.
I already knew.
Who is the groom?
He is a very good man
who knows all about your mom and understands her.
His wife died long time ago and he raised
his children by himself.
Bo-young.
Good for her.
If Mom is happy, I am happy.
You don't have to worry about me.
Come out here.
Come here right now.
I can't even stand to look at you.
Let's make a deal, starting from today.
Come here right now.
Don't turn away, look at me!
Don't look away.
Look me in the eye.
I told you to look me in the eye.
What did you do?
Don't lie to me.
What happened?
Why can't you say anything?
Who was it? Who was he?
Tell me who he was.
Can't you tell me?
You can't hide the truth from me.
Let me have a look. Stand up.
- Stand up now. - Don't do this to me.
- What's wrong with you? Are you crazy? - Let me look.
Stand up right now.
No way.
Don't touch me. Do you want to know who he was?
Ok, you're right.
But it's more than just one man.
Are you satisfied now?
Why are you doing this?
Please, stop it.
Put the bag down.
I am not going to hide any longer.
Your mother and I tried to keep the family together
just for your sake.
To everyone else we seemed like a normal family
but we have been seperated
ever since your mother found out
about Bo-young's birth.
Actually your mother has a sad family history.
Her mother was a married man's mistress.
That's why your mother was so *** you.
She didn't want her kids to make the same mistakes.
She wanted to give you a better life.
Let's go home together.
Just listen.
I know what you did in the countryside.
I have pictures of you
with a man, doing things you wouldn't
want anyone to know about.
So listen to me.
If you don't do what I tell you,
I will send copies to everyone else in your building.
What I want is very simple.
I am not a gangster looking for money.
So just listen to me and everything will be okay.
Who?
Are you the mute?
We are in the middle of nowhere.
We are alone in this forest.
Completely alone.
I will put you to sleep.
Now you are falling asleep.
Now you are falling asleep.
Close your eyes slowly.
Close your eyes slowly.
Close your eyes slowly.
Close your eyes slowly.
Dream freely.
Dream freely.
Dream freely.
Dream freely.
You are as light as a feather.
You are as light as a feather.
You are as light as a feather.
You are getting lighter.
You are getting lighter.
You are getting lighter.
You are getting lighter.
You are getting lighter.
You are getting lighter.
You are floating.
You are floating.
You are floating.
You are floating.
You are floating.
You are floating.
You are floating. You are floating.
You are floating. You are floating.
Son of a ***!
Stop the car.
Ask him if everything he wrote is true.
Yes.
- He said it is. - OK.
He must have a real grudge against you.
Has he ever tried to attack you before?
Yes.
His record says
he has committed a few crimes.
He even tried to kill you before.
What had happened exactly?
He grew up in an orphanage with her mother.
He must have liked her a lot.
But his statement says that
you, a married man, got your
17 year-old girl friend pregnant and ruined her life.
Then her mother is the one
he used to like a lot?
He liked my mother
but she hated him.
This guy has a record of
attempted ***, attempted ***, and burglary.
So complicated.
Everthing is connected to you.
Do you have another daughter?
- Wanna smoke? - Thanks.
This isn't easy.
You are so unlucky to be involved with someone like him.
A guy who lost his parents during the Korean War
and became mute. Nothing good could have come of him.
People in the leadership class like you
should have helped people like him.
What should we do now?
Oh, poor lady.
Doctor!
How is she?
Doctor...
She will be OK, right?
She won't die, will she?
Step aside, please.
No, you can't come in.
No way, she needs me.
- Stay outside. - No, stay out.
Why did she do that?
Why did she try to commit suicide?
Poor baby.
Did you ever argue with her?
Ma'am!
What happened?
I can't believe this.
I left home to take lunch to the pharmacy and...
What?
It was only 20 minutes.
She must have come back while I was gone.
The house was full of gas
and she was lying on the floor, being completely stiff.
So where is she now?
Doctor, how is she?
She was brought to the hospital so late
but we did our best.
I can't tell you anything in this situation.
We'll have to keep her under observation.
Doctor...
Oh, my, poor girl. What should we do?
Oh, my gosh.
Poor thing, poor baby.
How can this be?
What's done is done.
Stay strong.
You take him home.
Yes.
Please go and prepare for the funeral.
We should take care of ourselves.
You need to eat something.
I am OK.
- I heard your Mother got married. - Yes.
Come live with us.
It may seem too late, but let's live together from now on.
Forgive me
for treating you so badly.
Now that we have time after your father's memorial service,
why don't you meet the woman
we talked about a few days ago?
They called me to say
they like you after seeing your picture and hearing your background.
Should I make a date?
Mother, I should tell you.
I don't want to be set up with anyone.
For the time being,
I don't even want to think about marriage.
Come on in.
Hi, Dr. Shin.
Oh, you also came.
She wanted to see you before she goes.
Oh, your daughter is leaving the hospital today.
You did a wonderful job.
That was the least I could do.
- Please sit down. - OK.
I talked with your daughter while she was here.
We should blame society rather than her.
We are all suffering from this Westernized lifestyle and way of thinking.
They are not really meant for us.
Try to forget about this nightmare
and respect her for her
pure heart from now on.
Ja-young!
