That loser is a typo in my life.
Director.
Hey, I'm done, take a look.
He's the ***... director
I'd love to delete from my life.
It just needs scene numbers
and a little editing.
No, that's ok.
Just send it to the producer.
And we'll pack up and leave.
What are we doing here
wasting a fine day like this?
I don't get it.
We just have to
jot down our own lives...
The hero's a screenwriter...
so why doesn't it seem real?
I was robbed of my cigarettes
and forced to.
We'll just rewrite it again...
We need to recharge and go!
We can do it!
***, we're doing nothing
but recharging...
I can't even tell off that loser.
Tell him to get his own *** together.
The new ending you suggested
is better, right?
Directed by KWON Chil-in
Ending...
what will my own ending be like?
Directed by KWON Chil-in
Tragedy? Or comedy?
HELLCATS
What? Two days will be enough?
Didn't I warn you it'll take longer?
The old power lines are a mess!
Huh.
What am I supposed to
tell our clients?!
You should've double-checked,
you idiot!
Hey, I'm home...
You want to make me look
like a total fool?
It's your *** if we're not done
by opening night!
Get it done, now!
Fast won't do! Finish it!
- Mom, your coffee.
- Awe ***!
Here...
Yuck. KIM Kang-ae! Didn't I say,
'don't change the coffee? '
Why drink it decaffeinated?
Milk would be better.
At least it's good for you!
Then drink milk
if it's so good for you!
***, it's my birthday today!
How can you be so oblivious?
A hot meal for your baby sister
is the least you could do!
Some birthday this is!
Happy birthday, auntie!
You're even worse!
My only niece treats me
like a boarder!
At least a boarder pays rent!
What?
And stop ordering
stupid things.
There's nothing but
your *** in the mailbox!
What's it for when you
can't even afford cosmetics?
I'm leaving this hellhole.
That's what you want, right?
Please do that for me, okay?
- Then I'm taking her room.
- Okay.
Why were you born?
With such an ugly face...
Why were you born?
You've got some nerve when you
can't even give me a decent party!
I was going for a laugh.
Would you laugh when you just
had cereal for your birthday?
Then move out of
your sister's place!
And come live in this dump?
Hey, it's my home
and I'm paying rent.
Home? It's a refugee camp where
all your bum buddies crash.
NA Won-suk! Clean up
after yourself for god's sake!
Empty the ashtray and
clean up your ***!
Trash is all over the place...
I stopped by the
department store for that.
How much?
How about...
finding a place to live together?
I've got no money.
Hey, we've been spending
enough on meals and motels...
When I get my down payment
it'll pay for the deposit.
Spending your part-time earnings
on rent will leave us penniless.
Right, didn't you say you received
a card from some company?
With my 3 thousand...
How much do you think you'll get?
Two thousand? Five?
What do you think of this melody?
Nice huh?
Uh? What's that?
Stop talking about money,
I've got none!
Fine, but I'm more worried about
not having worked for so long...
Come on, you're a professional.
Which means you want me
to do it for nothing...
- What's the height of the stage?
- About seven or eight meters.
That's the problem.
The entrance is too narrow.
This is Kyung-soo, 7th cycle.
This here is Kim Young-mi...
She's my direct senior in line.
Beware she used to be a man-killer.
Nice to meet you.
Your hand is cold.
They say cold hands,
burning body.
Enjoy, thank you.
It's LEE Ho-jae
who's more to blame.
Three years into the relationship...
He should've made a move already.
This isn't Brazil you know!
Amar e de coracao, garota.
Love is courage, girlfriend!
Didn't I tell you not to say things
I can't understand?
You want me to explain it to you?
Ho-jae is... this.
- G
- G
- A
- A
- Y
- Y
g-a-y, gay?
Give me a break!
The gay guy's here,
the gay guy.
For crying out loud...
You're early today?
We've still got half an hour left.
Sorry, but I can't drive you home.
The shop's just got a new bike.
Wow you're finally buying one?
Excellent, LEE Ho-jae.
Just wait a bit longer.
You'll be the first to ride my bike.
You want to join?
It'll hold three...
I mean...
I won't be living off you forever.
You'll have to beg me to stay
once I've made my breakthrough!
So when will this
breakthrough happen?
Li'l sis...
you moved in three years ago,
singing the same old tune.
Hey! Didn't I say
it's my birthday today?
You're a work-in-progress,
but one that will never end...
You little twerp!
Should you be drinking when
there's a blind date tomorrow?
It's not my idea.
Your other aunt
just wouldn't stop nagging me.
Does your pet boyfriend
know about this blind date?
It's nothing serious anyway.
But it'll break his heart...
Awe whatever!
Wake up! Love won't
put bread on your table.
Perfect marriage stipulations
won't give you happiness either.
I'm just saying it's not enough.
So what's your point?
That I should work my *** off
till I die, like you?
Unfortunately you're not
capable of doing that either.
You want me to die of
aggravation on my birthday?!
Birthday?
What's the big deal?
You have one every year.
Thirty two year old accountant.
Looks, not too bad.
He's been posted here from head office
in the US. Look at his style...
that unbearable 7:3 hair parting.
No thank you.
And he doesn't even smoke.
What a barbarian!
Why are you staring at me
like that?
No it's just that your hairstyle's
so proper.
Do you know why
the lettuce blushed?
No.
Because it saw the
salad dressing.
Huh, yeah... I see, right...
Then why is a man lost in the
desert able to survive?
I don't know.
Because of all the
sand which (sandwiches) is there...
Right...
What did the sandwich tell the
knife when he complained of... her edge (age).
Edge?
Cut it out.
Cut it out, I get it.
Hey, Won-suk!
- Were you sleeping?
- When did you come in?
Let's have some fun man.
Open up.
My feet are killing me.
Let's go over there.
There. Come here.
Why?
The boys are sleeping in there.
Good, they can join us
for a drink.
- What for?
- What's up with you?!
- Hey, hey!
- What's your problem?
Ah-mi, watch your feet.
- Come out here for a second.
- Let go of me.
- Watch your feet.
- I'm leaving.
- Move!
- Hey, your feet.
Ah-mi, just hear me out
for a second.
Let go!
So is this what you
had to work on all night?
It's not what you think...
Were you also banging some
girl when you disappeared...
...for music practice?
How could you do this to me?
And you call yourself a man?!
Okay, I *** her!
We were drinking while monitoring
my music.
- She seemed to get me...
- Get you!
What's there to get?
Do you even get me at all?!
It's always money, marriage.
I hate talking about that stuff!
Yeah, I don't earn much!
So how the hell am I supposed
to get married, *** it!
You always made me feel like ***.
I had to get out...
Shut up!
Some nerve you have...
And what about you?
Where have you been
all dolled up like that?
You've been on a blind date,
haven't you?
You and me,
we can't live like this.
Okay, you've overcome your fear.
Lesson 2! 'Seduction'...
Follow my lead.
Squint your eyes dreamily.
Open your lips a bit
and lick them in a sexy way.
Are you kidding me?
Do it right!
Look. Dreamy eyes.
Straighten your shoulders!
Lips slightly parted.
Sexy, with your tongue.
Mi-ran, you must have ate garlic!
***, you stink!!
- I do not stink!
- I can't do it.
- You can! Yes you can!
- Forget it!
Heavy traffic.
Will b there in 10.
I've been waiting for an hour,
you ***!
I miss u, Ah-mi.
Which means you wanna ***,
right?
Sleep tight, sweet dreams.
Luv u.
***, you give me nightmares.
Love, my ***...
I'm gonna kill you!
Aunt Ah-mi! Come eat.
You can kill him later,
but first you need to eat.
Don't you know.
I hate eggs in my ramen?
Then don't eat it...
Ouch, it's hot!
Shoe-winging around~
shoe-winging around~
This crowd's a mess.
Let me pull you out of your shell.
And put you back in your p-lace.
What a crock!
- I really should get going.
- You're leaving?
Have fun...
- I'll take care of the check.
- You don't have to do that.
Ms KIM will take care of
the check.
Have fun! See you!
Thank you.
Are you leaving already?
With one less senior around,
you'll have more fun.
I'm unusual enough to
enjoy my seniors' company.
I'm not that into
unusual people.
You wanna bet whether
you're into me or not?
I'm not so good at bets.
Here.
I don't drink vending
machine coffee.
I know a place that has
terrific coffee.
Okay?
Hey lady, why do you do it?
Why, couldn't get aroused?
I mean, why are you in theatre?
It's not much money.
They same reason why you're in
when in fact, you're dirt poor.
Then... is it regret?
No, good bodies.
What's this smell?
What? The scent of a man.
You don't like it?
Who wears that these days?
Fabulous goods shine no matter
what you put on them.
You call that shining?
It's more like greasy.
Then buy me one of your liking.
Ask the girls who are after you
for one.
This is for cab fare. See ya~
This never happened, okay?
I loathe romance in the workplace.
I did my best.
I never pressured him!
What did I do that was so wrong?
No, I was wrong...
I love you... I love you!
He'll be regretting everything,
right?
I'm so *** full!
Change this to ***!
I'm going to the bathroom.
Hey, didn't I tell you not to
take her calls!
Hell she showed up at work
when I didn't take her calls...
Why is that *** always
like that when she's drunk?
Great game.
Is it fun? I don't get it.
Uh?
It's you!
How nice to see you again...
- Uh, yes. Hello.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- What brings you here?
- Me? Me and my friends...
Hey! Are you leaving!
Traitors.
Who me? I went out on
a blind date with him.
You're hair parting's 7:3 again.
Do you know why the
lettuce blushed?
Because it saw the salad dressing.
Then why is a man lost in the
desert able to survive?
Because of all the
sand which (sandwiches) is there...
Hey, stay put till I return
from the bathroom, okay?
Who is she?
Where do you live?
Where do you live?
I... don't have a home.
I have nothing.
All those lights, but not a
single one I can lay myself down...
I don't have a light to go back to.
Cinderella...
had lost her parents
while she was still young.
And was treated badly by
her stepmother and stepsisters.
Shaba shaba ai shaba~
how she must have wept~
Shaba shaba ai shaba~
I blacked out.
A bad breakup and then
a drunken one-night-stand...
I've become a typical heroine
in a typical screenplay.
From this day on,
I've decided to start over...
...as a new person.
I've let myself go for too long.
Rather than wasting my youth
with worry,
it would be nice and simple
to live thoughtlessly.
Ah, I'm back
KIM Ah-mi, you're not dead yet!!
'The great accountant has
invited you into his chat room'
- 'How are you? '
- The great accountant?
Who r u?
- 'OH Seung-won. '
- OH Seung-won?
Who is this guy?
- 'Your blind date last time... '
- Blind date?
'Don't be embarrassed.
Can we meet? '
Meet? What for?
- 'I have something to give you. Let's meet. '
- Something for me?
What in the hell could that be?
What's this about?
What do you have for me?
First, let me have my tea.
You're as aggressive
as the other night...
If it's about the other night...
The other night?
You mean us sleeping together?
What's your problem?!
I'm all yours now.
Since you pounced on
an innocent man.
I'm more naive than you think...
What's the big deal when
it was just one night of sex?
You sure have a loud voice...
What's this...
A present.
Up, it goes up...
The lights will be set below
this way to hit upward
I want it to look like an arch...
Hi there.
Hi, Kyung-soo.
Hello there.
So, it's this part.
You're early.
So you're saying you want to
attach a foot light?
You must have been on a date.
Hey...
You got something growing there?
So you'll be jumping off
this here.
- From the top of the shoe?
- Yeah.
Didn't I warn you not to
pull something like this!
There's no crime in saying hello.
Why are you being so difficult?
Wow, you look even more beautiful
when you're mad.
Anyway, I discovered that
women really need to be rich.
How can a piece of cloth cost $50?
Fifty dollars...
Hey, KIM Kang-ae.
Are you going to be stitching
like that all your life?
You're not a widow, you know!
***, I messed up again.
Hey!
- Drink this while you're at it.
- Thanks.
He's nice, cute and even tall.
Who would leave him be?
Hey, LEE Ho-jae!
Come to my place later.
No one's home today.
Uh, okay.
Sorry, but my Ho-jae
doesn't like this stuff.
He likes hangover recovery drinks!
Which reminds me,
let's grab some hamburgers
for our own hangovers. Now off we go!
Director!
- Director~
- Yeah, yeah...
It's been a year.
Your 'one more time' line has
led to 17 rewrites!
Don't you think you've exploited
the situation enough?
Yeah, of course I know.
You think I'm stupid?
But what else can I do?
The producer says it's too
*** to pass on to actors.
Is that what he's saying?
That it's ***?
Not exactly in those words, but...
Uh, hi!
Why are you always late?
You think I've got
nothing better to do?
Ms. KIM!
Just discuss things without me,
then go on and write your *** off.
Give me a break...
Okay then, I'll give you
a piece of my mind.
I am too embarrassed with this
script to pass it on to actors!
Oh are you?
So what should I do?
Should I just quit?
You know the famous
Minister JEONG?
The man who rewrote 100 times
to make it right?
That's the kind of spirit
you need, understand?
What's all this mess?
I'm doing it! Through loneliness
and sadness, I'm gonna write.
That's the only way
I can save myself!!
Hey, that butt's pretty intact!!
What is wrong with you?
Don't you want to live with us?
What's all this?
My niece has gone overboard
to treat her auntie!
Don't flatter yourself.
I'm expecting a guest soon,
so give me the apartment
for a couple of hours.
Where am I supposed to go!
Don't you have friends?
You're life is pretty pathetic.
At first, I was so confident.
That I'd show the world
what I've got.
But as each year passes...
...I don't have a clue of
what I'm doing anymore...
Do I get married?
Then I should've
become a civil servant...
Then quit everything?
How can I start over at this age?
What can I do?
I'll just have to keep on going.
I'll make them tremble
with a killer screenplay!!
What's there to life?
It just takes one homerun.
You smoke too much.
I know... this...
I did try to quit...
I see you're addicted.
Yeah... I am.
I have such pathetic will power.
That's hard to believe when
I haven't been a bit to win you over yet.
Yeah... that's true...
I'm the kind of girl who's
like a rock...
I'm not that easy!
Cheers!
Thanks a lot. Cheers...
- You're here.
- Yeah.
- What, flowers?
- Uh... yeah.
I guess your mom's still
coming home late.
Yeah.
And your aunt's still smoking,
right? That's not good.
Everyone's going to be late today.
Which means
we're the only one's here.
Whew, it's hot, isn't it?
You wanna play 'Iron Fist? '
I brought it just in case.
LEE Ho-jae! Are you a kid?
This isn't a game room!
I can't believe you're still
playing with those things!
Kang-ae, I'm sorry.
I wasn't aware you hated
'Iron Fist'.
Yeah, girls hate these things.
I wasn't thinking... sorry...
Forget it...
I think I'd better be alone.
Yeah? Okay.
Then call me when
you're feeling better.
It doesn't matter if it's late.
See ya.
YOO Mi-ran,
you can come out now.
Strange!
It's works in Brazil.
You drive me nuts!
I guess cultural
differences do exist.
Don't worry! One day he'll
see you as a woman...
...and eat you up.
Come over here, come close.
Didn't I tell you before?
You have good collarbones...
...so, it's better to push
your hair back.
And what's with
all the buttons fastened?
Nice coat of lip gloss.
Come here.
Mmm, smells good.
I see you put on perfume.
- Hey, wait...
- Uh?
I feel nauseous.
Did you brush your teeth?
Huh?
I brushed after dinner.
It could be my lotion.
Is the smell too strong?
Forget it. I'm not up to it today.
We'll do this next time.
Are you sick?
What, are you worried?
No, but this is
just a precaution.
When was your last period?
I won't hold you responsible,
so don't worry.
***...
I did say I like it when you're mad,
but not all the time.
I was just kidding!
Menopause?
Your period will get more
and more irregular and then,
BAM! It is closed shut
for good.
But I'm only in my forties...
In certain cases, menopause
can come in your late-30s.
Some like it coming early as
it relieves them of...
...having to deal with
the monthly ritual.
Then am I through as a woman?
Don't worry about it too much.
Sometimes it gets better
with hormonal treatment.
A woman's beauty is not just
in the physical...
A healthy mind,
maturity and experience...
Those are what make
a person beautiful.
From this perspective,
your greatest agenda is...
I love you, I love you,
I love, I love you...
I don't believe in love!
I don't believe in love!
Louder, louder!
I love you, I love you,
I love, I love you...
What?
In the name of freedom!
Don't you agree it's great?
Now I won't be haunted by
sleepless nights and cramps.
And I won't have to go
in and out of the bathroom.
Once I had to rush
to the men's room.
Sis, if you're sad, say so.
You seem more pathetic faking it.
Sad? Why should I be sad?
From now on I'm releasing
myself from all womanly bonds...
...and really, truly
living as a free being.
Then can I call you dad
from now on?
Wise ***!
My only child, but you have to
kick me where it hurts, right?
Didn't you say
you weren't hurting?
Come on, not again!
You're both wrong, so make up.
Didn't you say
you were moving out?
You said you would emancipate
yourself with your breakthrough.
Why are you both
ganging up on me?!
Hey, be quiet over there!
You're not the only ones here,
you know!
Why don't' you leave
if you can't stand the noise!
You're louder than us!
Mind your own business!
Hey, they're not worth it.
Hey, can't you kick a ball right?!
Sorry.
Hey, KIM Kang-ae!
How can you do that to me?
If you needed more practice
you could have just said so.
Were you so scared of doing it
directly with Ho-jae?
Did you really need to
rehearse?
Rehearse? Uh, right!
Rehearse.
I was worried you might have
gotten the wrong idea...
Of course not!
I got it immediately!
Is there another reason to kiss?
We're not perverts you know.
Perverts... Anyway, thanks!
You're a true friend.
You're so adorable!
Come here,
your big sis
will give you a hug.
Hey, stop it!
What's wrong?
We've kissed already.
Let's rewrite this sucker
for the last time. Okay?
And where will we get
the money to do that?
Hi there.
You must have been
on a blind date.
It's so easy for women.
If their career crashes,
they can just get married.
I quit smoking.
You should too!
What about the conference?
What's the use when
we don't even have a financier.
I'd like to make a
proposition. Okay?
Let's recall what we started with
and try again? How about it?
What good would that do?
A little change here and there
won't fix things.
You're always singing, 'a little
bit more here, and more there! '
We've got no money to continue.
This is why I warned you
about rookies.
They've got no guts.
Is that so? Then I'll remove
myself from this project.
You two with the guts fight for it
till the end!
Ms. KIM! Hey, KIM Ah-mi!
I can't believe you're
being so petty!
That's why you never had any
success as a writer!
What about you?
Why haven't you made a film?
KIM Ah-mi! What are you doing?
I can see you.
NA Won-suk, what the hell!
Are you here to beg?
It's just one mistake,
what's the big deal?
One mistake?
Then count the 100 times we ***
as mistakes as well, you ***!
What!
I... went to an audition.
I might get a contract
if things go well.
Are you here to brag?
Good for you.
I met someone.
Our break up has
brought me nothing but luck.
You've met someone?!
Awe ***! I'm out of work!
Cheers!
What did the strawberry say
to the blueberry?
I love you berry berry much.
Stop~
Tough, isn't it?
Life's tough.
If anyone told me to go back to
my 20s, I'd rather die.
Or kill that ***.
But it'll pass eventually.
Find every bit of willpower you've got.
Stand it, and bear it.
That way you'll win in the end.
Not everyone can do that.
And what's more important
is that I am here by your side.
Am I making you uncomfortable?
'***'
Leave it, it's all...
...over now.
Nothing will change.
Come back.
Even though you can't.
Come back. Look at me.
As you have always done.
The times I've been with you
have lost their direction.
It's a compass that swings
in endless circles.
Ah-mi! Ah-mi... I missed you.
What the hell are you doing?!
Say what you have to say!
I left my laptop on.
What's the rush? Come here,
come here and sit.
What time did you
start drinking?
- They didn't want me.
- What?
The audition...
I'm not their style.
Hey, you can always go
somewhere else.
They're not the only
record company around...
You...
were the only one I loved.
Only you...
Enjoy the feeling as long as
you wish. I'm leaving.
Hey, where are you going!
Wait...
- I have to go!
- Wait...
Ouch...
Hey?
*** you...
Hey, Ah-mi...
Hey, you frightened me!
It's not the first time my arms
were around your waist.
People would think
I'm pouncing on a ***.
I give up...
- Want some help?
- Forget it!
Whew, it's hot.
Stop it!
I told you not to be so clingy!
Do I look so easy to you?
You had your fun, now stop!
I'm not your girlfriend!
If you're ***,
go find a girl your own age!
Ramen... let's eat!
Come eat.
Yes?
What brings you
all the way over here?
Am I not supposed to come here?
Want me to go?
Wow, I didn't know you were
working at such a neat place.
I saw these two looking bored.
I brought them along to play.
You haven't read all these books,
have you?
Come on, who do you think I am?
Of course they're for display.
It's impossible to read them all.
Humor Encyclopedia...
Do you know why the lettuce...
Then why is a man lost in...
Salad dressing, sandwiches...
Is this where you got it?
You're in a good mood?
Why are you being so nice?
Why, you don't like me like this?
Should I be mean to you?
Okay. I'm playing hooky!
Want to go out to eat?
Umm... sandwiches?
Hey! So you've hit
menopause? Menopause...
It's no big deal.
Is that why
you've been so cranky lately?
Who told you that?
Soo-mi? Why that big mouth...
Your heyday is over.
Already menopausal at 40.
Your joints will fail you ten years
before the others your age.
You want your friends go-going
on the dance floor...
while you're busy taking
medication for osteoporosis?
Why can't you think big?
Can't you see it's better
focusing on romance...
...while your body can
still hold up?
Is this how you get girls?
I just let out a little steam.
Why, were you falling for me?
Don't flatter yourself!
What's there to fall for?
Stop it!
I feel great.
- Let's go.
- Where to?
- I'll help you feel.
- Forget it.
Just feel it!
I'm too old for amusement parks.
Just feel it. And enjoy.
- Relax.
- Relax my ***...
Open the door to
your heart, relax!
Didn't I tell you not to be clingy?
I hate these things.
What's this? It's so pretty.
- Who's it for?
- Someone.
- Who? Tell me.
- It's a secret!
- Tell me.
- I said it's a secret.
- Stop asking!
- Tell me.
- Who's it for?
- I said it's a secret.
You're awake.
Stop being so noisy!
You're not the only ones here!
What's her problem?
Kang-ae? The door's open!
Hey!
Ah-mi, we need to talk.
Are you a psycho?
What the hell are you doing?!
How can I apologize when
you're not taking my calls!
*** it,
you're driving me crazy!
***,
I hate myself like this.
Kang-ae's coming soon.
Hurry and say what you have to.
You said you met someone...
What does the *** do?
What's it to you?
It's none of your business.
I'm just asking if
he's better than me!
He has more money than you.
Alright.
Then I hope you have a
happy life.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 ***?
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 ***!
Auntie, the door's open!
Aunt Ah-mi!
Kang... Kang-ae.
How have you been?
Go!
Why did 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.
Infidelity, 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 confident 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 *** me.
Can't you see I'm sick?
What brings you here
at this hour?
- What about your job?
- 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 ***, right?
It's none of your business.
So *** off!
How can you do this to me?
You can't pretend like nothing
happened between us!
I told you it was a mistake.
It just 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 ***!
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 *** your
rat's-*** dignity!
If I have rat's-*** 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 wise *** at 28?
That you'd kick my ***.
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...
***... Are you kidding me?
What is wrong with you?
Are you trying to *** 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.
*** 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 *** 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 your job 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?!
***! 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 *** 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?
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't just 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... love 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!
***...
Don't go, Mi-ran...
Amar... Amar garota.
Amar e de coracao, garota.
That's how you say it,
you ***.
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 *** 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!
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 *** 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 ring,
but I received 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 confident, 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!
