Hello.

Hello, Joe, how are you doing?

My name is Joe. I'm a stand-in.

My work is to be the person...

who does things that others...

won't do.

Ming is calling...

Hello.

Joe!

Joe where are you.

Hello.

Hello, Ming.

Hello.

Hey, Joe. The set is ready. Let's go.

Alright.

Safety, is the set ready?

Yes.

Alright, we're ready. Silence, please, everyone.

Alright, let's do it.

Camera, rolling.

And this job is about to change my life...

forever...

Three.

Two.

One.

Action!

Drift!

Shit! / Check the stunt! Check the stunt!

Hey, hurry up!

Need help here! The sling is torn!

This is my life.

Every time I'm about to step out of the darkness,

something drags me down.

But this may be the last time...

that I try.

Joe.

Joe, are you awake, son?

Miss, please get us a doctor.

Joe.

Joe, please don't leave me again.

Who are you, auntie?

Joe.

Can you not remember me? It's me, your Mom.

It's Mommy.

My Mom passed away a long time ago.

I think you must've misunderstood something.

Stay calm.

The patient has been unconscious for two years.

At first, he may be a little confused.

So for now, let's give him to recover.

I'm not confused.

I think you all must've misunderstood something.

The hospital will do the physical check-up again.

But let him rest a lot.

And, Miss, please come with me to fill out the patient's information for me.

Oh, alright.

Joe, I'll be right back.

This way, please.

They didn't misunderstand.

I did...

Whose body am I in?

The results look better.

And about the memory,

the doctor said that he's gonna get better.

Just having my child back, it means the world to me.

I'm happy to hear that.

Thank you.

Of course.

We're going home.

So the prescription...

I'm sorry

but her son is gone...

I guess his name is Joe too.

So he was taken away by mistake.

Wait...

Or her son could be stuck in my body?

Thank you.

Hey, he's really awake, Mrs. Ing!

At first, when the nurse told me,

I thought she was kidding.

He's awake now.

You're weak!

Don't put down the glass!

Don't put down the bottle! Don't leave the bottle there!

This is Wut. His Dad is being treated in that bed.

Your name is Joe, right?

That's such a coincidence.

I used to have a close junior named Joe too.

But he was a little older than you.

Don't worry. You're much more handsome than him.

And how is he doing now?

Well, there's an accident.

Joe fell of the cliff and disappeared two years ago.

They haven't found his body since.

You're luckier than him.

You came back.

Mrs. Ing, so how long will he have to stay here?

The doctor said he would check again first.

ONE MONTH LATER

Oh, Mrs. Ing.

Are you guys going home now?

Yes.

Would you like a ride?

Oh, that's alright.

There's no need to say no.

I should be the one who does this.

You've been taking care of my Dad for so long.

Let me give you a ride. My car is parked at the back.

Don't overthink.

What is it, son?

Can you remember him?

I don't think so, Mrs. Ing.

Although Joe's been in modeling for years,

this guy's been in the industry for about half a year.

Oh.

It's good you didn't get to meet him.

Oh, right. Wut, you're working in this industry, aren't you?

Wut, do you know him?

Yes, I do. I do know him better than anyone.

Let's go.

Alright.

C'mon, Mrs. Ing, hold on to me. Take it easy.

Thanks. Let this old lady hang on to you.

Welcome.

Thank you.

So here we are.

C'mon, son.

Excuse me.

Oh, Mrs. Ing, be careful.

I will.

Welcome.

Thank you.

I'll put your stuff right here, alright?

Thanks.

So, why don't you stay here for dinner?

I'll warm up the stew for you in just a sec.

Thank you very much, Mrs. Ing.

But I have a meeting.

Maybe another time, Mrs. Ing.

Oh, what a pity.

It's alright then. Maybe another time, then.

I'll go warm up the stew first.

Yes, Mom.

Joe.

Yes?

About the work, my company produces movies.

If you're well and want to do something,

call me.

Thank you very much, Wut.

I don't know why...

but you remind me of Joe.

Nevermind, nevermind. Gotta go.

See you around.

Alright.

A guy fell off the cliff and disappeared.

Why hasn't anyone said anything about it?

Here is hot rice porridge for you, son.

Thank you.

Why don't you go take a rest, Mom?

It's alright, dear. You just recovered and came home.

You must take a lot of rest.

I made you hot rice porridge. Let me feed you.

Er...

Here, easy. It may be really hot.

Is it good?

Here, son.

I think I should eat it myself.

Joe, I don't want you to hurry and find yourself a job.

I want you to really recover first.

Mom.

Huh?

In the past two years, you've spent a lot on me, right?

Well, in the past, we used to live in a better place.

But when I retired, I had some savings.

In exchange of me having you back,

it's totally worth it.

I need nothing more in my life.

Thank you, Mom.

For bringing me back.

From now on, let me take care of you, Mom.

Oh, dear. Come here.

My beloved son.

Alright.

I will be his stand-in.

My company is just a small company.

But we got everything we need.

We got a studio, a production team, a post-production team. We got it all.

And the best thing is we got our own stunt team.

Because, here, we mainly make action movies.

I may not look convincing,

but, I used to be a stuntman.

Alright, let's go.

Hello.

Wut, Hello.

Hello.

Such a hard-working team.

You look beautiful today, Chom.

C'mon, Joe.

Sit down.

Oh, you remember the guy named Joe that I used to tell you?

He used to be a stuntman here.

And he's the best one that we got.

He's a stand-in for Tong-Tinkun.

Do you know him?

Oh, yes, I do.

Tong, the action superstar.

Er, Wut...

Wut, do you have any behind-the-scene job for me to do?

Maybe working in the prop team or the lighting team.

Wait.

Mrs. Ing said you wanted to be an actor.

Right now, I think the behind-the-scene job is more stable.

And if there's a chance, I'd like to do it.

Suit yourself.

The prop team is short of people. I'll take you there.

Thank you.

It's alright.

Wut, Prach is looking for you.

Prach?

Shit! I forgot I had a meeting!

Yim, take him to the prop team.

Tell Jo that he's from me.

Alright.

I'll leave him to you.

We're shooting tomorrow and we haven't finished yet.

Will we get any sleep?

Check the wire for me too.

Jo, Wut sent this guy to you.

That's great. We're short.

Hey, bro, what's your name?

My name is Joe.

Whoa, same name again. Before, there was a stuntman with the same name.

I had to change to Jojo instead.

And what did you do before this?

Well, I was a model before.

Shit, what did Wut just do to me?

My department is Art.

Not Arts of Acting.

What should we do with a model?

What did he just send me?

Oh, well...

Let's give it a try.

Pistol, two.

Rifle, one.

Pocket knife, two.

And rope, one.

Queue 18, all set.

Are you sure you've never done this before?

Oh, I used to help my friends do this.

Good.

Alright, it's done for today.

Let's eat.

I'm starving.

Here, my wife got us food support.

Hey, Jo!

I miss your wife's chicken's feet soup!

You've had this before? You just got here.

Oh, I've never had it.

But I heard people say that your wife's a great cook.

Jojo!

Something's come up.

We won't be going home today.

What's up?

Mr. Ming's commercial...

They want to move it up and shoot it today instead.

Wut is furious.

Today?

Really?

Oh, I love Ming.

Let me do my make-up first.

Hey, what's wrong?

You look pale. You were alright earlier.

I'm a bit dizzy.

Can I go home first, Jo?

Well, you're still sick, right? You're recovering.

Just go home and take a rest. We'll manage the work here.

I'm sorry.

I'll make it up to you next time.

It's alright. Take a rest.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

This feeling is so much like what I felt that day...

three years ago...

The first time I met him.

Tong.

Have we met before?

I think you mistook me for someone else.

THREE YEARS AGO

Joe, stop eating, or else, do your own makeup.

Well, you're so slow, and I'm famished.

Your face is not as nice as Tong's.

It needs more time, right?

You're an ass.

Done.

Thanks.

If your face is not seen, you look just like Tong.

Especially, looking at the back.

You're exaggerating, Yim. Who could look so much alike?

Tong!

Who are you?

I'm Tong's stand-in.

And where is Tong?

I don't think he's here yet.

Do you have anything urgent?

No.

Who was that?

I don't know.

Maybe he's Tong's fan.

Really? Is he?

Alright, everyone, all set.

Neung, turn off the fan, please.

Alright.

Actors, ready? Silence, please.

And action!

Cut! We're good.

Wow.

So?

Wait.

Actually, we finished most of the scenes.

Only Tong's scenes that aren't shot yet.

So Tong...when will he get here?

I always told him to come early, but he's always occupied by something.

Hello, everyone.

Hello, hello, hello.

I'm sorry for being late.

I happened to get some food support.

So please have them all. If you're not full,

there are two more food trucks outside.

Hello.

Hello, hello.

Hey, Pao, hello.

Hello.

How are you doing? You look skinnier than before!

Right, I haven't eaten much recently.

Are you stressed? About what?

About...Phil. Just a bit.

He couldn't manage the actors' schedules quite right.

Oh.

Okay, keep up the good work.

Yeah, go get dressed, hurry up.

Hey, Joe, how was it?

How many scenes have they taken?

The first location is all done.

Just the first?

So I gotta wait for them to set another setting?

I should've come here thirty minutes later.

Thanks, man. Thanks a lot. Thanks.

Okay, hello all.

Hello, hello.

Yes, hello to you.

Hey, Yo, how are you going? You got skinnier?

I'm the same.

And my name is still Yim, the same.

Yim?

Sorry, I'm too old. Don't mind me.

Who says you're old?

You're still as handsome as ever.

Ming!

When did you come back?

I just landed here this morning.

I graduated.

So I'm thinking about finding something to do here.

I thought you were gonna stay there for good.

If that place had been so good, you would've come to visit me, right?

Oh, Ming, you know how busy I've been these days.

But I let May bring what I had for you.

That doesn't count.

How about this? Tonight, you gotta buy me dinner to make things up.

Ming, I gotta shoot this movie all day.

I think it will take me the whole night.

Maybe next time.

Tong, I came here just to see you.

Er...

Tong, may I add some lipstick?

Oh, right, right, right.

I'll have to finish my makeup.

Let's talk later.

Alright.

Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.

It's alright.

Just hop in.

It's about to rain, and it's hard to find a ride during this time.

I'm gonna go see my sister.

You can drop me off at the sky train station.

Get in.

I'm so sore today.

Bad traffic during this time of day, right?

Yes.

Er...my name is Joe.

And...are you Tong's fan?

Yeah.

At first, I thought you were also a celebrity.

You are handsome.

Or are you a celebrity? Are you?

No.

No?

You wanna listen to music?

Hello? Where are you?

In a taxi?

Yes, thinking about going to see my sis.

Why don't you come see me?

I've prepared a homecoming party for a student from abroad!

Oh, you didn't finish late today?

You fooled me?

Well, you had a surprise for me.

Why could I not surprise you?

Luckily, May has checked with your host family.

So we've prepared a party for you since this morning.

Here!

Surprise!

Get here fast!

Here, I've prepared some marinated pork that you like for you.

I changed my mind.

Huh?

You can take me anywhere.

What?

Where do you wanna go then?

I said anywhere.

Then, after we pass this intersection, there's a restaurant on the right.

If you can't think of anywhere...

we can go to your place.

Ooh!

My place is on the top of this building.

Are you sure you wanna go up there?

Why?

Don't you want to...?

Walk carefully. It's quite dark here.

Do you have a condom?

Let me borrow it.

Wait, you're a top?

Then, I should go home now. / Hey, wait.

Wait for the rain to stop and go home later.

It's still raining outside.

Are you sure?

Well, I don't know if you'll be able to eat that.

This is what left in the fridge.

You haven't had anything, right?

Oh, wait, one sec.

Here.

This is my recipe.

Slow down, you'll choke.

This is good.

I think you're starving.

You're not eating?

Go ahead. Seeing you eat makes me full already.

You know your way with words. You must've had lots of people eating here.

Well, it'd be nice to have what you said.

I've eaten alone for years.

Then why do you have it? A condom.

Well, just in case, you never know.

And, when time comes that I can use it, someone took it from me.

Easy.

Some water.

Eat a lot.

You came up here. Even you're not fucked, at least you're full.

Joe.

Huh?

Can I spend a night here?

Can you sleep? My pillow is a little hard.

What about you? You can switch places with me.

Oh, no need to.

You should sleep in my bed.

I know a guy like you never sleeps on the floor.

Yeah.

Why don't you come up here?

It's alright. Go ahead. I'm fine here.

C'mon.

Or do you want me to go down there?

Seriously, I don't even know your name.

It's Ming.

And...when I wake up, will I still see you?

Normally, I'm not that mean to my sleeping partner.

But we're no sleeping partners.

That's true.

Actually, I'm not serious with the position, Ming.

But...I've just never tried it.

That means...

I almost got to be your first one?

Yeah.

You should save it for the one you're serious with.

Don't lose it with a guy like me.

And...Ming, don't you have someone you'd like to get serious with?

Ha.

But from what I see,

I think you seem to have lots of people hitting on you.

I'm sleepy. I'm gonna sleep now.

If it wasn't for Ming's perfume,

that's still with me,

I probably would think that all of this...

was just a dream.

Just leave it like that, Deuan.

I wanna rest now. You should get some rest too.

Yes, if you'd like something else, Mr. Ming,

please call me anytime.

I said I wanted to rest.

Tong.

So you're back, naughty boy?

Yes.

So where were you last night?

Do you know that May was worried about you?

Oh, I met with an old friend.

We haven't met for a long time, so...

I was wasted and passed out.

So you chose your friend over me?

I'm sorry.

Tonight, May's gotta go to work.

After I finish shooting, I'll treat you a meal.

This time, do not take a rain check.

Absolutely.

Here you go.

Thanks, Jo.

Only eggplants, right?

That's alright.

Just kidding. Take one chicken's foot.

Oh, thank you.

Of course!

Do you want more?

Yes.

You got it!

I'll give you another blood jelly.

What's wrong with you, Joe?

This is my wife's rice noodle stew.

My wife was stewing this all night.

It smells so good. Why don't you have it?

C'mon, quickly, it'll run out.

You go ahead, thank you.

I'm not really hungry today.

Shit, you look sad.

Are you heartbroken?

Who is it?

That sweetie, cutie extra?

Man, you don't know Joe's type at all.

How?

What type?

Four years went so fast.

I still remember the day I sent you off at the airport.

That day, May cried.

It seemed like you were about to go to war.

And how about you, Tong?

Me? I'm fine.

But, you know, the work in this industry isn't stable.

I'm thinking about doing something else.

I meant, how about you and May?

Things with May?

Right now, it's good.

I'm helping May out with her cake shop.

Do you know how uneasy your sister is?

Right now, I gotta live at her place.

That's good, so she won't be too tired.

And how about you?

I...

Speaking of the devil...she's calling me.

Hello.

Yeah, I'm having dinner with Ming.

I feel a little sick.

Really? Have you taken any medicine?

Yeah, but I'm not feeling better.

If you don't feel better, call me right away, alright?

Okay, got it.

That was May.

She's having a headache so she called

to ask if I could go home early, something like that.

Then you should leave. I'm stuffed.

Are you sure?

Yes, go take care of May.

I'm fine. I can find a ride home.

Then, next time, I'll treat you with another meal, alright?

And I'll bring May here too.

So we can all be together.

Sounds good?

Sure.

See you around.

I'm done.

Guys, I'm done.

One sec, babe.

Thank you.

Go home safely.

I will.

Hello.

Is this Joe?

Yes, who is this?

It's Ming. Are you busy?

Sorry, Ming. Were you waiting for long?

And where did you get my number?

Not telling ya.

Ming.

Are you drunk?

Nope.

If you wanna eat something, just order.

Whoa, just all of that is more than enough.

And...isn't this room a little too big?

I think it's way too big.

You talk so much.

I told you to order, then order.

I thought you'd forgotten about me.

And you, have you forgotten about me?

What do you think?

From what I see...

you can't forget about me, can you?

What would you like to have?

Oh, just a sec, please.

It's my first time here, so I don't know what to order.

Stop being so stiff.

What are you staring at? Go get us some drinks.

Have you decided?

Easy.

Huh?

Walk straight, Ming.

You told me you weren't drunk.

I'm not drunk.

Where are you going?

To shower.

So you chose your friend over me?

I'm sorry.

Then I'm gonna get going.

Ming.

Ming!

I know.

Why do you have to be a virgin?

If you were to be my first one...

I wouldn't deny that.

Then, I felt like I was in a dream.

Without knowing that it was a nightmare.

And this person...

Is the one who caused me to die.
