This is damn crazy!
When I see her, I can't speak...
Can't even breathe!
It's true. UHM Tae-woong RHEE Min-jung
A crush at my age?
But she's so pretty.
She doesn't know I exist. CHOI Daniel PARK Shin-hye
Excuse me.
I know you're tied up, but... PARK Chul-min JEON A-min
Here.
I'll call you back.
Who are you?
Just your guy next stall. SONG Sae-byek RYU Hyun-kyung
Cyrano Agency
Making her fall in love with you in top secret.
CYRANO AGENCY
Almost forgot.
The client last month sent us his wedding invitation.
That's great.
The big face and the insurance lady?
Remind me to cancel my insurance.
It won't be easy.
Just send him a gift to congratulate him.
There's less noodles.
- Dumplings, too. - But it's good.
Ah... What do you do here?
What would you like?
The card said you'll make her fall in love with me?
In top secret!
But how?
Politicians and celebrities...
What they do in public is all staged.
Their every word's been planned in advance.
I don't really get it.
Why do stars in films and TV act and speak so cool?
Cuz there's a script.
In reality people fumble up cuz there's no script.
But with us your love life could...
have the perfect script.
Trust us.
What is this a theater?
It was.
Client, KIM Hyun-gon
I went for coffee after a soccer game.
Then I saw her there.
They call me Beckham of our soccer league.
But you know...
After meeting her, I can't kick or anything.
Tell me...
Does love screw people up like this?
Women aren't into soccer much.
Why? It's so fun.
Age 24. Height 162cm. Approximately 50kg.
From 10a.m. To 6p.m.
She works at a coffee shop.
After work she takes yoga classes.
She studied fashion and is into music.
Especially JANG Ki-ha.
I hate JANG Ki-ha.
- Why? - I just do.
Not nice.
Quiet.
She's not seeing anyone.
Just likes to hang out with friends.
That's it.
When traveling at night, don't you walk in the light?
You sound a little downstream.
Well, some people say I have a cute voice.
Then date them. Or fix it to be mainstream.
Day 19 First, you have to catch her eye.
Hello.
Day 20
Hello.
Day 22, Day 23 Here's your buzzer.
Hello.
Day 25 D-Day
Hello. How may I help you?
Espresso, please.
One espresso.
Don't lock glances with her.
Excuse me!
Here.
One...
Two...
Three...
Stop!
That flower...
What is it called?
It's dahlia.
Dahlia.
Dahlia...
- Second year drama student? - Yes.
Here's what you'll do.
Isn't this an audition for a play?
Hi, ma'am. You're much older, right?
Working undercover.
I'm twenty-one.
I see.
Make Sun-ah feel jealous.
Do cunning things to get on her nerves!
- 162 cm. - 162 cm?
You don't look that tall.
Hey, isn't that guy cute?
He's totally my type.
Should I hit on him?
Women want to take the man away from the one
they're jealous of.
I didn't order this.
Just look at yourself in the mirror and concentrate.
Breathe in.
Ah... Have we met somewhere before?
You're a regular at the coffee shop I work at.
In Kyobo building?
You work there?
Yes. You asked me about a flower?
Oh, I remember.
Dahlia.
Sorry, I didn't recognize you without your uniform.
It's okay. I get that a lot.
I see...
Is that a cello?
Are you a musician?
Nothing to boast about.
It's raining. You don't have an umbrella?
Take it, please.
You'll need it to go home.
No, I couldn't...
I can use this.
- This is heavy. - Take out the cello.
Sorry for not recognizing you!
How about dinner? Together?
I have a prior engagement.
She's with her five times a week.
Get her out of the picture.
I'm in love with you. Will you go out with me?
When did you start liking me?
A long time ago.
I don't date just any guy.
I'm not an easy gal.
Can't meet up tonight. I got a man!
I'll take your order.
I'm free tonight.
I'll wait for you.
Now, you disappear.
She waited 37 minutes.
But why... I don't get it.
I gotta go to the bathroom.
That flower... What is it called?
Dahlia.
Dahlia...
I look gaunt.
It works like a charm.
This will do.
What's the chance of rain today?
50o/0.
I called in a rain machine just in case.
There's not a cloud in sight.
Should we delay this?
Wait!
It will rain.
Could you play this CD?
Sorry, we can only play music set by the shop.
- I see. - Sorry.
Wait! I'll play it for you.
- But if Boss finds out. - Don't worry.
You haven't come in a while.
Look, it's raining!
How did you know?
You really wanna know?
My joints ached. A lot.
People say the sound of my cello changed.
I strummed the strings meaninglessly before.
But now, I learned to put my heart
into every stroke.
All because of you Sun-ah...
Thoughts of you have changed me completely.
Sun-ah...
Who's Sun-ah?
I wonder who she is.
Please. You can't act.
I want you to know...
Can't we give her a CD player and earphones?
Just go with it.
Right.
Sun-ah...
I love...
The rain's too weak!
More rain, please!
Okay!
Wait!
Here's your umbrella.
That umbrella was my last string of hope.
That umbrellas was my last string of hope.
What happened?
You want to know why I didn't come that night?
I'm sorry. I can't answer that.
Why didn't you come?
When traveling at night...
Don't you walk in the light?
I want you to be the light of my life.
Is that a sin?
Keep face turned.
Why do you look so gaunt?
What happened to you?
I'll take the umbrella.
Pull her!
Now, count to ten.
Hey, I'm moping here.
Where's Byung-hun always disappearing off to?
Excuse me.
Can you make people fall in love here?
In top secret?
Here's our new client.
We're not taking this on.
Why?
We're busy enough finishing off other projects.
Focus on them.
We just have one project to finish off.
It's perfect timing.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Like what?
They don't suit each other.
Sang-yong? What kinda name is that?
I do the math here.
They make a pretty good match.
Sang-yong & Hee-joong
What's wrong with you, boss?
Ah...
Actually...
I've been thinking... We can't do this forever.
We started this to make money to set up a real theater.
Remember practicing all night in our basement hall?
How can we forget?
But honestly, I like this gig.
We can't just walk away from it.
Business in theaters is really bad these days.
No.
If we don't go back, we may never get the chance.
Not now.
We're tight with money upgrading our tools.
What did we upgrade?
The latest earphones. You signed for them.
They were just a few hundred.
Add another zero.
This costs a few thousand?
What are we the CIA?
We bought several of them.
National Intelligence uses them.
We have nothing but debts.
We have to take on every client we can get.
We need more clients.
Here's your estimate.
Look it over.
Thank you.
Why so expensive?
It's more than I expected.
I think it's pretty reasonable.
You don't have to do it if it's too much.
Would you like to think it over?
No. Let's do it.
I made some money off funds. I can do this.
Who is this evil man the Scripture tells us?
He is the Anti-Christ from Satan's realm.
He will show great power and signs.
Satan's power and signs.
It is all deceitful and evil.
And what does God call Satan?
One who tempts and deceives the world.
We met because of a piece of gum.
What? Gum?
How's that possible you ask?
It's destiny!
Oh, please...
That happens all the time.
It's not destiny.
What's with this hairstyle?
I'm the youngest in my company.
I wanted to look stronger.
But it's so old school.
You look better in glasses.
But I don't need 'em. And these don't have lenses.
Just go with it.
There's an earphone on this.
This? It's so tiny.
It's really expensive.
Once you put those on, you're under our watch.
You'll act and speak cool to get the girl.
Superman with glasses. Clark Kent without.
Isn't it the other way around?
Smack!
How's starting conversation on art and construction?
Give compliments on what people hope to be good at.
Michael Jordan wants to hear he's good at baseball
more than basketball.
PX 125?
Only model that is a replica of the original.
They stopped making it in 2007.
You know about scooters?
Yes. I'm very interested in classic scooters.
Isn't it hard to drive a manual gearshift?
I learned it to ride the PX.
I ride the new automatic.
The LXV?
GT 300.
That's a big scooter.
You didn't tune it up.
I want to, but I'm not good with machines.
I joined a club to learn and do it eventually.
Did you tune up yours?
Real manias like 'em in their *** state.
I love pure things.
You know like a woman's chastity.
No ad-libs!
Gotcha.
Excuse me?
Nothing.
Just say what you practiced.
I'm a fund manager.
I deal with boring numbers but...
Sister Hee-joong?
I mentioned this before.
A lady riding on motorcycles does not seem appropriate.
This is a scooter. It can only go 80km/h.
Ah, mister! Wait!
Mister? Brother!
I'm the elder of this church!
Look Mr. Elder.
What's wrong with coming to church on a scooter?
Sang-yong! No!
Does it say that in the Bible?
Does it say that in the Ten Commandments?
What?
Come on!
I'm in the middle of something important here!
Sang-yong! Shut up!
Stick to the script! You wanna spoil it?
You know how hard it was to write this script!
I can't stand ad-libs!
I'm sorry. I get mad at times.
No. It's okay. You did good.
Hee-joong is different from our other targets so far.
She's a little cynical and kind of an outsider.
Something rash and risky?
Probably likes revolutions and such?
You get that just on my research?
Experience.
Church
How's that?
So, that's the plan?
We'll make Sang-yong into a hero.
So much has changed in the world. But why?
That church is known for the pastor's long sermons.
The congregation is unhappy.
The pastor is like a dictator so they can't speak out.
Subconsciously, Hee-joong wants to go against the powers.
She rides her scooter to church even though the elders oppose.
That's rebelling.
Though in a minor way.
She is probably dreaming of a truly brave revolutionist to come.
Someone like... Che Guevara!
It's Satan.
We allow Satan to tempt us to sin.
Pastor!
I have something to say.
What is it, brother?
Your sermon is too long.
Look.
Half the congregation is asleep.
If you make your sermons shorter...
The congregation won't be bored.
And I believe your sermons will have more impact.
He's right! The sermon's too long!
He's right.
Don't you think?
My sermon?
It's too long and boring?
Then why didn't anyone say anything before?
Because of your dictator like self- righteous manner...
No one could speak up against you.
But you had the courage to do so?
I thought someone should bear the cross.
My brother...
You are quite a brave man.
Fine. I will make my sermon shorter.
Would 30 minutes less do?
One hour.
Fine.
I'll cut it in half and keep it to an hour.
I mean the entire service!
You win.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
That's what will happen.
Drawn to deception...
Like we practiced.
Satan tempts us.
God allows this to test our faith.
Pastor!
I have something to say.
What is it, brother?
I have a bad feeling...
Your sermons are too long.
Say your line.
Look!
Hurry!
Half the congregation is asleep.
Sit down!
Let go!
If you make your sermons shorter...
Young brothers!
Escort that man out!
But your sermons are...
Let go!
It's a bust.
Let not my sacrifice be in vain!
Some Che Guevara.
This isn't right.
Off-limits! Anti-Christ LEE Sang-yong
You did your best.
Sorry it didn't work out.
Jae-pil!
Did you research the target right?
I didn't know the minister's her uncle.
So, now what do we do?
You said you're 99o/0 successful.
That's true.
But we never thought you'd be that 1o/0.
Guess our deal stops here.
We'll refund your money.
Boss?
Boss?
- What? - We need to talk.
What is it?
We don't have any money to return.
We paid off some loans with it.
Then we'll take out another loan.
From private loan sharks again?
You're acting strange on this project, you know.
I am not.
You're not doing your best.
Of course I am.
Would you meet other woman...
It beats the hell out of me...
What's with him?
I don't believe this! You're all dead!
Come here! You're mine!
- Calm down, sir. - You're dead!
What are you doing?
You call this a script!
Don't rip that!
You're the worst! You squid head!
Calm down and let's talk.
Talk? With you lying fools?
- I'll destroy you all! - Look, Mister.
I'll get you!
Move the expensive stuff!
Just leave him. Step aside.
Now, I'll never have a chance with her!
- Throw it! - It's your fault!
Put the chair down!
***! Who's calling at a time like this?
- Hello? - What an idiot.
What? Hee-joong? I'm busy now!
What? Who?
It's Hee-joong!
Why'd she call?
What do I do? Quick! Tell me what to say!
What happened to squid head and destroying us?
I won't destroy you!
We're still under contract.
What do I say? I'm going to take the call!
Hang up and call back in an hour
Now, it's by the book.
We weren't going by the book before?
Sang-yong & Hee-joong date at cafe
Aren't you coming to the date site?
You do fine without me.
I'll go research more and meet you there.
Go home. Byung-hun can go.
What's with the glasses and the hat?
Part of being on the job.
You look younger.
Hee-joong's already here.
Why's she so early?
She must like me.
She came on the scooter.
- Take your seat. - Okay!
Come down, quick!
- Hello. - Hi.
You're early.
Just a little.
Coffee?
Thank you.
Now that...
We don't attend the same church.
Can I just call you Hee-joong?
If you'd like.
If you'd like.
You went a little overboard...
But our church went a bit too far, too.
If you still want...
I'll tell my uncle to let you attend again.
I see.
Time-out! Come out for a sec.
Will you excuse me for a second?
Let's change the subject.
Odds are against you talking about the church.
Then what should we talk about?
Well, ah...
Do you know that Sok-cho and Kang-leung seas
are different colors?
What? How?
Sok-cho Sea is coral blue. Kang-leung is cobalt.
Let's go when we go back to Korea.
Kang-leung Sea will look different this time.
You're still going to date me when we go back?
Wasn't this just a fling?
I'm not talking to you.
Just kidding. Come here you!
Let go!
Excuse me?
Who's the singer of this song?
Agnes Baltsa.
And the title?
'There will be Better Days, Even for Us'.
There will be Better Days, Even for Us.
Thank you.
- Take care. - Drive safely.
Life's funny, isn't it?
You're on to me?
About what?
Forget it.
Still looking for evidence.
You want to confess?
Keep it a secret from the others?
That depends.
So when did you date her?
Eat up!
Byung-hun! Come here and say hi!
Maybe you should stay off this project.
No personal feelings involved on the job.
Where'd you get that?
That's what you always used to say to me.
It's over.
Don't worry. I'm a pro.
You'd better be.
We can't help you at the scooter club trip.
Just move according to the plan.
Don't buy stocks.
Buy gold! Gold's good.
First, talk a lot with the others.
Make Hee-joong's friends yours.
This will be the highlight of your trip.
The rotten peach plan?
You're good at making friends with strangers.
This one's rotten. Let's throw it out.
Wait! Someone can eat it.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Over here, please.
- Peaches everyone! - Peaches everyone!
- Thank you! - Thanks.
Have some.
It's that car, sir!
I'd like to be...
Like that bus to you, Hee-joong.
Just when the light is about to turn red...
The bus turns beside you and cover you safely.
Women are drawn to similar types of men.
Achievement Award
You're tall, good looking, and young...
And probably make a lot of money.
With your specs you could do well on your own.
Why come to us?
It's like outsourcing.
So I can concentrate more on what I know.
I outsource on things that I'm relatively weak at.
I don't think this is a waste of money at all.
I get paid a lot being a fund manager.
Instead of worrying over my love life,
I can use the time to work.
How logical is that?
Just kidding.
Actually, I'm a little weak with my people skills.
I can't talk in front of women.
And if it's a girl I like, I act really stupid.
I did my military service late.
When I was in the army...
Do you know Sok-cho and Kang-leung seas
are different colors?
How's that?
Sok-cho Sea is coral blue. Kang-leung is cobalt.
They're still blue.
Sok-cho is clear blue. Kang-leung is kinda murky.
Come on. You were probably in different moods.
It probably looked murky
cuz you were bored working out there.
Let's go when we go back to Korea.
Kang-leung Sea will look different this time.
The sea changes color according to one's mood.
I took a year off school
and went biking along the east coast.
I can never forget the color of the East Sea then.
I never did that.
Just go with it.
Mr. LEE?
You're in a meeting?
You should've knocked fool!
Mr. KWON. I wasn't expecting you.
Just wondering if you had lunch.
Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
- It's okay. - Don't worry.
Just give him everything you have.
He'll double it for you.
Call me if you ever run out.
Working hard?
Let's talk in the reception room.
Crane Private Loans I have a bad hangover.
Oh really, sir.
Did you take Aspirin?
Sang-yong smells fishy.
- How? - Just a hunch.
Our company needs this client.
The building went bankrupt.
We can't stay here for long.
We have to succeed and get the bonus money.
I'll just bring in more clients Damn it!
Bikini Night Club
When did you go to a place like this?
To get clients?
It's not mine.
People lose lighters all the time.
Leave 'em at bars
or take someone else's by mistake.
Back in Kang-leung,
I got this free lighter from a bar.
But I lost it one day.
You used to smoke?
When things got complicated.
Why you...
I moved back to Seoul and went out for drinks one day.
I picked up the lighter on the table.
It was the one I lost.
How do you know?
I scratched off every other letter on it.
It was definitely the same lighter.
It went from this person to that...
And came back to me in Seoul.
It's like destiny.
What a cheap looking lighter for a wine bar.
Quiet down will ya?
I ordered more expensive ones.
Want a drink?
Something sweet, please.
Did you have dinner?
How about pasta? I have fresh clams.
You know I don't eat clams.
Oh, right.
You found a man, didn't you?
No. Why?
You never call, but now you came to brag, didn't you?
Don't go overboard.
Why you little!
I'm testing one out.
It's sweet.
Hey.
You've been curious about what I do, right?
I'll give you 50o/0 off cuz you're my pals.
This isn't a sales pitch. It's cuz I feel sorry for ya.
You should be out dating not drinking here on a Saturday.
Am I right?
If I ask for Gianna Jun, you'll hook me up?
Then I want KIM Ah-joong.
Just drink.
Yes?
I want to send a cool text message to Hee-joong.
I can't think of anything.
Can't you do that on your own?
At this hour?
Of course, I'll be glad to help.
We offer our services 24/7.
He reminds me of him.
Who?
Byung-hun that ***?
Why? He looks like a wimp, too?
Oh ***.
Did you drive?
I brought my scooter.
- Put that on. - Okay.
This way please. No drinking and driving
Take it.
Put that on.
Funny meeting you here.
Just like the first time.
Excuse me? 5 years ago, Seoul
Could you stop chewing the gum?
I'll chew quietly then.
Left turn signal on.
Be quiet please!
I got my license in college.
But I lost it due to drinking and driving.
I'm a veteran driver.
Who asked you Mister?
Look out for the speed bump!
Be quiet, sir!
Three points deducted.
Excuse me...
There's a slight problem that you need to know.
Could you make that man be quiet, please?
One more word and you'll automatically fail.
Right.
- Thank you. - Bye.
You look good with short hair.
3 years ago, Paris.
Are you...
The driver's license!
The gum!
Your hair grew a lot.
That was several years back.
You look older with long hair.
Shut up!
Public transportation after drinking
Stop drinking and driving
Public transportation after drinking
It's so unfair.
I was on my scooter, not a car.
Then why did they suspend my car driver's license?
Stupid law.
You bought a scooter after all?
Yeah, I did!
Are up still acting?
Acting?
I guess.
In a broad sense.
I stayed in Paris for over a year
and didn't go to Orsay Museum.
Why didn't you take me there?
You went to Louvre and came out in 30 minutes.
Took a picture at Mona Lisa and David and that's it.
Nice and quick.
Wonder if Hammershoi's works will come.
Hammer what? Is he an artist?
Isn't Orsay famous for The Angelus?
That's just like you.
Mona Lisa and Louvre. The Angelus and Orsay.
What? Another class?
When are you going?
When I can, I guess.
That's good.
Wanna grab a drink?
I have a date.
Do we have a job today?
Just got one for Sang-yong.
Hee-joong called to meet for the first time.
What does it mean when a woman calls to meet?
One of two meanings. She's really bored.
She's bored?
Or she's opening up.
700/o Successful!
Aunt, change hot grill
- Yes. - Water please.
- More Rip - Two more please.
Cheers!
I should've taken you to a nicer place.
But we're drinking this!
Things went well today?
Very well.
She introduced him to a close friend.
A friend recently opened up a wine bar.
Thank you.
Try it.
She introduced me to a close friend.
That's special, right?
I have a feeling your first kiss is coming soon.
Kiss?
With like wrestling tongues?
Yes!
Wrestling is the way.
Wow!
You like that?
At first...
I thought you made toy dinosaurs.
You know, like Tyrano?
Cyrano De Bergerac!
It's a 19th century play written by Edmund Rostand.
What's it about?
It's about
a man who writes love letters for someone else.
Cyrano was in love with his cousin, Roxanne.
Distant cousin!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
His friend Christian was also in love with Roxanne.
Ugly but a gifted writer,
Cyrano wrote love letter to his love...
But as someone else.
For the man who loves the woman he loves!
It's so sad.
Heart wrenching.
If you make a theater will you do that play again?
I think I can do a lot better this time.
So how does it end?
Does Roxanne end up with Cyrano?
Or who was it? Christian?
How does it end?
How do you think?
Well, since it's called Cyrano,
I guess he gets the girl?
That's too obvious.
Right. Too obvious.
Watch the movie version.
It sounds like a good story.
I'll invest in your production!
No thanks.
I manage funds for plays, too.
There are no earnings,
but as a lover of the arts I'II...
You'll invest to make yourself look good?
We don't need your money.
Your damn tainted cash!
Byung-hun!
This guy works with loan sharks to suck out
money from normal folks.
Loan sharks screwed us over!
He's just like them!
Byung-hun! Stop!
You don't know anything about my work.
He's a loser for coming to us in the first place!
Love? My ***!
We do it for you! It's not love!
Like yourjob is honorable!
You're not a registered company!
- Please. - Why don't you take credit cards?
Damn ***!
Byung-hun!
Let go of me!
- Hey! - Plastic bottle?
Come here you!
Move the table!
Byung-hun!
Where's my shoe? Damn it!
Crazy ***!
Come here you!
Crazy ***!
You boys don't even know how to fight!
Drop it will ya!
You evil ***!
Stupid fool!
Stupid fool!
You evil ***!
Die! Stupid fool!
The *** said he'll buy and left without paying.
Men have hang-ups about the men their women used to date.
Why are you jealous of the man after you?
That hurt.
Women are more curious about who their ex will date next.
What are you saying?
That's just the way it is.
Sign up for class
Choose a date and time
Honey! I'm sorry!
Remember the Korean pub we went to in Paris?
Incheon Pub, right?
No, Walmido. They hit it big.
Their clam soup was the best.
Sang-yong has a date at 19:00
Are you busy tonight?
Well, I'm not sure.
I'll call and see. Be right back.
Sang-yong's date cancelled.
What happened?
What happened?
Really?
We met by coincidence.
Hee-joong said she's sick and postponed.
A dangerous coincidence.
What about the fund manager?
They said we might kiss today so I even got my teeth scaled.
We just came for coffee.
Yeah right!
The fool ordered wine at this hour!
Hee-joong's seeing someone.
So?
Don't get any crazy ideas.
Don't worry.
Stop. I can't.
Why?
I feel sorry.
But I'm okay.
Oh, you mean to him.
It's not like we're strangers.
- Don't feel guilty. - It'd be better if you were!
Then think of me as someone you just met today.
Got a smoke?
But why?
I'm sorry.
I'll go.
Who's that at this hour?
Don't answer it.
Why's he here.
What are you doing?
You were asleep.
Why? I didn't do anything wrong.
No, he could get the wrong idea.
Men are like that.
You mean, you.
Anyway, don't open the door.
I can't believe this!
So, you're thinking of starting something with him?
He says he wants to protect me like a bus
when making a turn.
You fell for that crap?
He's a good guy.
He'd eat a rotten peach so no one else will have to.
That's what did it?
But Byung-hun...
Back then was like a deja-vu.
Sang-yong's in a bad mood.
Maybe he thinks he's been stood up.
Damn idiot.
I got sick and went to bed early.
I'm sorry about our date.
Now, smile and say your line.
Who was the man?
I waited outside your house all night.
Something must've happened.
Answer me.
If he asks about last night, play innocent.
- About what? - Sang-yong.
There must be a misunderstanding.
Deal with it later.
Stick to the script.
Who did you just text message?
My mom. Why?
I bought some medication and went to your house.
But...
- Can I come in? - Just go.
Hee-joong!
I saw you going in with a man.
Stick to the script!
He took the earphone off.
What did you do yesterday?
I went for driving training.
No, after that. Give me an alibi.
Why?
Fine, come in for a drink.
I trusted you.
I thought you were so sick...
You couldn't go to the hospital
And called a doctor.
So that man must've been a doctor!
You acted against work ethics, didn't you?
What do you mean?
Look me in the eyes.
Why?
What's going on? I smell a fight.
It's nothing.
I rang the doorbell all night.
And called you a hundred times.
As the sun came up...
A thought crossed my mind.
That man...
May not be a doctor.
What the?
What's going on?
Nothing happened.
But you don't believe me, do you.
I said, nothing happened!
You said you're a pro.
How can you screw up like this?
You couldn't stand your ex doing well
with another man?
So you called her?
As we became close, I needed time to think.
That's why I canceled yesterday.
It's not cuz of that man.
Then why'd you go to her house?
You know what hurts most?
That I can't even get mad at you.
Why?
Because I don't have the right yet.
There's nothing that ties us down to each other yet.
Why do I have to listen to this from you?
Cuz you ruined this project! This is worth a lot!
Stop acting like a saint.
There's nothing between us like you say.
Why am I making excuses here?
You're the same!
You won't believe me anyways!
Don't get angry!
Fine, I'm the ***!
Let's stop seeing each other. It's over.
Don't call me again.
Hee-joong's just leaving.
It's over!
Ah... What did I do wrong?
All I did was buy medication and went to her house.
What did I do wrong?
You should've stuck to the script.
Come on, girl!
I swear they went this way.
Are they extras, too?
Where are they?
Wait!
What is it?
Oh ***!
Jae-pil! Emergency! Come quick!
- Wait! - You!
They're your clients today?
He came by the coffee shop often.
Damn it!
Step aside.
I love you!
They must've escaped
from the mental hospital nearby.
You're being fooled!
Could I talk for a minute.
What was that?
That *** got engaged to her
then had an affair!
Then go yell at him... Why come to us?
We crushed the *** already!
I won't do it again. Don't hit me.
All the sweet things he said.
They were all staged?
We just helped him word things better.
His heart was sincere.
How can his heart change so easily?
Your office?
That stinky old theater?
I sent some people over!
Must've sent a lot over.
We had to tear it down anyways.
She did it for us.
Let's quit this for good.
It's good.
He didn't suit you.
Didn't seem like a good guy.
How do you know all that?
I saw him through the interphone.
I have a way with reading people's faces.
You keep being a stumbling block in my life.
I'll take care of you.
Whatever. Just buy me drinks.
The most expensive kind.
Hee-joong, let's start over.
No. There's no trust between us.
Come on...
We were meant to be.
That's a laugh.
Remember the lighter I told you about?
The one I found in Seoul by chance?
That's destiny.
We're no better than the lighter.
What the hell!
Mind if I cut in?
What are you doing?
Who are you?
I have the right to be here.
Honey? Who is that woman?
Honey?
So, it was all cuz of her?
Min-young? What are you doing?
You know very well why!
Think about it.
I have a hunch.
But don't do this.
Shut up.
You'll ruin this.
You two-timing ***.
Stay out of this.
I don't want Hee-joong getting hurt.
Your butt is mine!
What's going on here?
Something you see on soaps all the time.
10 minutes later and
we'll be pulling each other's hair?
And she's the *** sister?
Who is this girl!
Hey!
I'm not a girl!
Who are you?
Old *** is stupid, too.
Old ***? Me?
Who do you think?
Hon! Who is this girl! Tell me!
Stop it.
Say it! She's just a girl you know, right?
You were nice and she got the wrong idea!
She came on to you, didn't she!
Stop it!
Hon, please tell me she means nothing to you.
She came on to you, but she's nothing!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Hee-joong.
I'll tell you the truth.
The thing is...
Don't try any of your petty tricks. ***
No! I'll say it.
Yes, there's nothing between us.
Maybe he wanted something to be.
Know what he said before you came?
No. I won't say it for your sakes.
It'll probably hurt more that way.
Leave it to your imagination.
Byung-hun!
You're a *** till the end.
***.
Hee-joong!
He may be a *** to you.
But he means everything to me.
Ma'am...
Thank you.
I'll never forget this.
How touching.
It's over for good.
You two weren't meant to be.
You know what they say...
Ex-couples who date again break up for the same reasons.
And you even have a girlfriend! You little!
Come on!
I have my reasons!
We once fought big and didn't talk for a while.
Over something stupid like buying a scooter or not.
Then there was this party.
I met a Japanese girl and took her home with me.
Asako or something, right?
We just had a few drinks.
But Hee-joong got the wrong idea.
I would too.
Then the real problem happened.
Hee-joong got mad and drunk.
Then went to a guy's house.
Dae-hyun was my closest friend.
The rich guy who studied in Paris for 3 years
and couldn't speak French?
Dae-hyun?
Come on. I said nothing happened!
How can I trust you!
So when the fund manager said he couldn't trust her...
She got mad and broke up with him?
Maybe.
It's too bad.
I asked for something sweet. Why's this so bitter.
Wine reflects your psychological state.
So mystical.
Yuck. It's rotten.
I quit my job.
I may be young...
But I was top class in the business.
But recently...
I almost touched some bad money.
The earnings rate went down this year.
So I mingled with some private loan sharks.
I almost dipped into doing something illegal.
But Hee-joong came to mind.
I quit knowing the loan sharks will be after me.
Cuz I want to be a good man to Hee-joong.
So, it can't just end like this!
Please don't close down.
I swear I'll go by the script.
I can't live without Hee-joong.
Let's end this right.
If we close down like this...
I did all that for nothing.
Think about what's really best for Hee-joong.
Cyrano De Bergerac Directed by LEE Byung-hun
I can't find her.
She quit work and isn't even home.
Where did she go?
The poor woman...
Maybe...
Orsay Museum Hee-joong will
definitely go see the Hammer thingy exhibit.
It's an anonymous tip.
Jae-pil stick around the gallery
and call the minute she shows.
Wait!
I'll do it myself.
I want to do it.
What are you doing here, sir?
Please send security up to the second floor.
No! I'll go.
Thanks.
Sang-yong!
Hee-joong just went in.
Wake up!
The last confession
I have to memorize all this?
Right down to every word.
Just reading this makes me cry.
Hee-joong, will you tune up my life for me?
It's too flat. Again.
Hee-joong, will you tune up my life for me?
More heart. Again!
Hee-joong, will you tune up my life for me?
Again!
Hee-joong!
Again!
- Hee-joong! - Again!
- Hee-joong. - Again!
Hee-joong!
Forget this! I'm not doing it!
- I'm not! - Then don't.
I'm sorry.
Let me try again, please!
I remember the first time I saw you.
The sky, the wind,
even the birds flying that day...
Relax your shoulders!
- The wind! - The wind!
Even the birds flying that day!
Louder! Arms out!
Even the birds flying that day!
Good! That's it!
Great!
The wind...
Every day has been special since I met you.
June 27th, 2010...
Today is the most important day of my life.
Are you ready?
I'm so nervous.
Take the relaxer right before.
I'll take it then, too.
Hee-joong wanted to come here?
A proposal on a beach?
You call this a beach?
This probably cost him a lot.
A little.
This is too low for tall folks like me.
You two go over there and play lovey-dovey.
The family looks happy here. Start walking!
- Is the dog well trained? - Yes.
See if he can act.
The guitarist plays the blues like the sea.
Act natural people!
Let's do it!
Sang-yong's car will be arriving in five minutes.
This is Cyrano's Agency's lastjob.
Let's roll.
Can I help you?
Two cups of coffee, please.
We don't sell coffee.
- Then what's this? - Coffee. For me.
This is my house.
Please get up, quickly.
But it says it's a cafe.
I'll change the sign. Please leave. Go!
This place changed a lot.
You've changed a lot, too, since we first met.
I splurged a bit.
That's for us to hear, right?
Now, walk out to the sea.
Jae-pil! Go past.
The woman is superior.
What a good looking couple!
They seem to like us.
Follow the trail of clams.
I remember the first time I saw you.
The sky, the wind...
Even the birds flying that day.
Even the birds flying that day.
I knew right then...
My life will never be the same.
- You brought gloves? - Yes.
Let's take a picture.
One, two, smile!
Though I have many flaws and make mistakes...
I thought I should change to be a better man...
When I met you.
Hee-joong, will you tune up my life for me?
She doesn't seem too thrilled.
She's smiling.
She's biting her tongue not to laugh.
I reported my scooter stolen.
And you stole my heart!
That fool! He'll ruin it.
Relax. It's going well.
You did great.
Your last confession is coming up.
Take a deep breath.
Good luck.
He's nervous again.
Every day has been special since I met you.
2010, today...
It's the most important day of my life.
I guess the relaxer didn't work.
No, I think he forgot his lines.
He always fumbled up here.
Give me the script.
Sang-yong, it's okay. I'll give you the lines.
Give me.
I forgot the script.
What?
Meet me at the bathroom.
No!
Don't ruin the moment.
But we don't have the script.
Call Chul-bin now.
You do it.
No one else can do it better than you.
To be honest, I knew nothing happened between them.
But I wanted to believe something did.
So I'd feel less guilty.
Actually...
I slept with that Japanese girl.
I knew Hee-joong or Dae-hyun would never do that...
But I wanted to feel less guilty.
Nothing happened between Ayako and me!
You don't believe me, too?
You don't trust me! How can I trust you!
I...
Didn't believe her on purpose.
Sang-yong. Here are your lines.
The Bible...
The Bible says...
Trust...
Hope...
And love...
The greatest of these is love.
I didn't know what that meant.
I thought trust was the most important.
I was so stupid.
I didn't trust you once...
And so we drifted apart.
I didn't know what love was.
So, I thought trust was more important than love.
But now I know.
We don't love because of trust, but we trust because we love.
If we loved each other more...
There wouldn't be a problem.
Why?
Why didn't I realize it then?
The times I spent with you...
Were so precious.
I realize that, now.
I can't do it anymore.
I don't have anything to say.
Have you ever seen the movie, 'Cyrano'?
I know the story. I saw the play in France.
I watched it recently cuz someone recommended it.
Most people would sympathize with Cyrano.
But I sympathized with Christian
Who asked him for the love letters.
Why he had to do it.
The important thing is...
As much as Cyrano...
Christian loved Roxanne, too.
He must've loved her desperately...
To ask for something so crazy.
Because he loved her that much...
Hee-joong...
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
This is me talking.
I mean...
This is pure from my heart.
No more fancy words. All I can say is...
I love you.
The sea is a beautiful color, isn't it?
Now, the big, white clam.
My leg.
That's how you get over a trauma.
Now, for the finishing touch!
Seal it with a kiss.
Like you practiced.
Looking good.
Stay right here, Hee-joong.
Why didn't they tell me in advance?
How should we do this?
He hits me first, then I punch back?
Why hit so hard?
Sang-yong!
You're a hard man to find.
Didn't think I'd follow you all the way here.
I thought you'd just go to a motel in the country.
But the sea is nice.
What are you doing, Mr. KWON?
What? Like you don't know.
You betray me and act all innocent?
I thought we were friends, pal. But I guess you didn't.
You lose all my money and disappear?
I did it by the book.
By the book my ***!
Since when did you play by the book!
Just take him away.
- Get him! - Yes.
What the hell?
Where do you think you're going?
Run if you can!
Let's go!
That way's the sea, fool!
Why make us run?
Should've went that way, huh?
You can have me, but let her go!
How amusing.
You lame fool.
Bury him.
Stop!
What the hell?
I don't believe this.
Who are you?
Someone passing by.
Then keep passing by, fool.
There are two types of people.
Those who see something like this and just walk past.
Or those who stop and make things right.
I'm the latter.
The Ladder? Who's that?
- Sir? - Ever heard of him?
I think I did. He's good.
Right. I knew it.
Too bad.
We're better than you.
You're no match.
Take that stupid thing off.
Get him!
Stupid ***.
What the!
Go! Hurry!
What the hell! Get him!
Hey, Helmet.
You should've kept walking. So much for your rep.
Idiot.
Where's Sang-yong?
Where is he?
- There, sir! - Get him!
Stop!
- Sang-yong! - Wait!
What is it?
This is a military zone.
We'll take you and your men for assault, blackmailing...
trespassing and other charges to the police.
Stop right there!
This is crazy!
Ow my head.
We came way too far.
- Get in! - I will!
They're shoving me in the car!
- Put out the cigarette. - I will!
Good work everyone. Great acting.
Why'd you do that?
Just follow-up service.
I had those punks scared!
How about some sushi while we're out here?
I hate sushi.
Look! The waves!
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Gapyung Rest Stop
Go! Hurry!
Hammer what? Is he an artist?
Are you still acting?
Acting?
I guess.
In a broad sense.
Who's the singer of this song?
Yes.
All the food's on me!
It was you.
No, Roxanne! It's not me.
I should've known it was you.
No! It wasn't me!
It was you.
You wrote all the letters.
Min-young?
How've you been?
Did you watch the play?
Looks like a hit this time.
It's a great play. Cyrano...
You've changed. Looking good.
Remember the first time we met?
You taught a workshop in my freshman year.
You were a drama major,
But was interested in stage art.
Not too fast!
- Step aside. - Yes, sir.
Watch carefully.
Let's stick to the script.
You know I hate ad-libs, right?
Standby...
Action!
