We don't see the writer guy much these days.

He's not even asking you to go collect information with him.

That's right. I saw him leave early this morning.

I guess he's working hard on the book.

[Lee Ma Ri]

Unfamiliar place, unfamiliar people...

And being a lone observer of this world.

A new world and new feelings...

And a new time that those things provide.

A thin, but solid line between the things of the past

and the things yet to come.

For humans, who cannot control time

the greatest way to take pleasure in freedom

is the experience of being in a different place.

So perhaps, traveling is a way to live life to its fullest.

And in that expended life, somewhere between remembering the past

and hoping for future possibilities, people often meet their destiny.

A deep, special kind of love.

Hello?

My father went berserk after the articles came out.

He even said I can't take over his company

since I couldn't even stop those articles from being published.

What do you want me to do?

It's a small press conference.

Just give me thirty minutes of your time.

So I just have to say, 'we're just friends,' or 'we're nothing'?

Let me ask you one more time.

You really want to end this?

You really want a serious relationship?

Are you sure you want someone you can marry?

Yes.

Okay, fine.

Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young break up.

Son Ha Young could not overcome the 'One Hundred Day Hurdle.'

The end of Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young's relationship can be felt.

The once hottest celebrity couple is nearing their breakup

after Lee Ma Ri's trip to Japan and the spotting of 'The Paper Bag Dude.'

The mysterious Paper Bag Dude...

Paper Bag Dude?

They just don't stop writing those articles.

It doesn't matter.

I've been going through this for the past ten years.

We're not going out to collect information anymore?

It's no longer necessary.

Jang Soo.

Can you excuse us?

Is that your next film?

This is about what happens in one day at an amusement park.

But I haven't been to an amusement park in a long time

so it's hard for me to picture this.

What's that?

It turned out drier, more boring, and has more bragging.

That's how I write.

You were right.

I misunderstood myself.

I can't put your exact feeling in writing

so I'll just write it in my own style and then you can pick what you like.

So you decided to listen to me?

Why have you been avoiding me?

You've been avoiding me.

How much longer are you going to stay here?

I'm planning to leave soon.

I think it'd be better if I just collect

the information here and write the book in Korea.

My sister's there and she's a bit ill.

She is?

I think I should go.

To the amusement park.

It should be better here since I'm in a foreign country.

You want to go with me?

I want to go on the Ferris wheel.

Why?

Then I'd be able to kiss you.

Why?

I just feel like I'd be able to.

If we slowly fly through the air...

'Mono kisses first...'

'on the Ferris wheel.'

A man and a woman who meet for the first time

hang out at an amusement park and then kiss...

Isn't that too fast?

Things like that happen fast.

That's true.

Have you been on a Ferris wheel?

No.

If you go on it, you'll know.

The feeling of slowly flying through the air is very special.

The feeling of flying through the air?

Do you want to go on it?

This is weird too.

A woman had something to say to the man

but he doesn't listen, so she becomes resentful...

If she wanted to say it so badly, she should've just said it, right?

She couldn't, because the man didn't want to hear it.

It's not that he didn't want to hear it.

It's probably because it wouldn't have made any difference.

But still, she should be able to speak what's in her heart.

But it still wouldn't change things.

But...

Hearts change.

Memories change too.

So...

I should just tell you.

I'll tell you since this is our last time together.

Remember how I told you to think about why I stayed behind?

Can I say something first?

There's someone I love.

It's a bit awkward...

for me to tell you this.

But...

I feel like I should tell you.

Attention, patrons.

The Great Ferris Wheel has stopped temporarily due to a power outage.

It will soon operate again, so please stay calm.

Where, Ma Ri?

Okay.

Call Mr. Seo.

You want to die?

We have no choice.

If those two are seen together it'll become a huge scandal.

If we want them to escape quietly, we can't do this on our own.

I know who could solve that problem.

What?

We'll be okay.

I'm the man who disappeared.

I'm the first love who disappeared.

I did the same thing to the woman I love.

I justified it by telling myself that she's too good for me

and what I'm doing is all for her.

I just ended it on my part without giving her any reasons.

So I'm the man who disappeared.

After meeting you here...

I realized how painful it must've been for her.

After seeing you...

in pain.

Being a big star is a great thing.

When I look at you, I feel like it's okay to go for what I really love.

I feel like for once in my life, it's okay to love the woman of my dream.

The woman of your dreams...

I feel like I should at least make up for the pain I've caused her.

That I should make her happy.

That's what I realized.

I envy you.

Thank you.

Thank you for making me realize that.

Flying through the air...

So this is what it feels like.

Are you okay?

Hi Eun Young.

I'm going back to Korea today.

Can I see you before I go back?

Yes.

I want to tell you something before I go.

Yes, we'll keep your baggage.

You're leaving on the evening flight?

Please take care.

I should just tell you.

I'll tell you since this is our last time together.

Remember how I told you to think about why I stayed behind?

Can I say something first?

There's someone I love.

She couldn't, because the man she loved didn't want to hear it.

But still, she should be able to speak what's in her heart.

Hearts change.

Memories change too.

Eun Young.

I think I'll be late.

Yes.

Don't wait for me.

Ma Ri.

Yes, what is it?

I'll be waiting with the reporters.

Don't let Mr. Seo know.

Excuse me, do you have vanilla ice cream?

Can I get some?

You look gorgeous! You look so pretty, Ma Ri.

Mr. Seo, didn't I pick the perfect dress?

Wait outside for a minute.

- Huh? - Wait outside.

Mr. Son.

Why is he here?

I don't know.

He look simple-minded, but he's been trained

to be his father's successor since he was young.

Don't take him lightly.

It's okay, because I'm doing business with him.

Where's Kim Chul Soo?

He's leaving today.

It's better this way.

It'd be better for him to write in Korea.

And you'll be able to rest alone here.

I'm leaving too.

I have no more reason to stay here.

Kim Chul Soo is the reason?

You can tell me, right?

Funny guy...

He said he's the same man who left me.

He said he had a woman he loved, but he also left her.

Like how my man left me.

So he thanked me.

For giving him the courage to love that woman again.

That's all.

So don't worry.

And stay out of it.

Don't cross the boundary.

Ma Ri.

Let's go.

They're going to start now.

Let's go.

Lee Ma Ri!

Lee Ma Ri!

I present to you our guest of honor, Miss Lee Ma Ri!

What am I supposed to do now?

Just follow me.

Lee Ma Ri!

Why are you so late?

Whoever is in an evening coat is our band member.

See? We're wearing the same evening coat.

I just came because I need to see her.

Everyone here came to see her.

Where's Ma Ri?

Ma Ri!

Where are the reporters?

This is good.

You look pretty today.

There are no reporters here.

Sit down.

Sit down.

What is this?

What are you doing?

It's not like that.

Don't play around with me.

I'm getting off.

No.

I'm not playing around.

Marry me.

I mean it.

I'll make you happy.

Play it.

Play.

Hey.

What's the name of this song?

It's the Chopin's Nocturne.

Thanks.

Lee Ma Ri fell into the water!

What are these?

I'm going to send these to you.

Really?

What if I die first or disappear?

I don't know.

Should I disappear too then?

I'll probably want you to be happy.

She came back up!

Are you okay?

Bring him.

Huh?

Jang Soo.

Yes?

Ma Ri!

Are you okay, Ma Ri?

I'll bring you something hot to drink.

I need to hear something from Miss Lee Ma Ri.

And then what?

I haven't thought about that.

Can you handle loving Ma Ri?

I haven't thought about that either.

Then think about it.

You have lots of time.

When you love someone, it means you're willing to make small sacrifices.

Think about who you're supposed to love.

In this world, there are words that are not worth

listening to and things said that are meaningless.

[Choi Eun Young]

I don't know when it will be

but I'll have them delivered few years from now through scheduled mail.

Hoping you'd be as happy then as you are now.

Hoping you'd remember me, if I'm no longer with you then.

And hoping that you'd have a good man by your side.

Woo Jin told me that.

I'd forgotten about it.

Are you all right?

I was shocked when you fell in like that.

Are you okay?

Vanilla ice cream?

You want this?

I'm Ha Young's cousin.

My name is Jung Woo Jin.

Eun Young!

Chul Shu.

Let's go.

I should've played this for you a long time ago.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't play it for you because I was too busy running away.

Please listen to it now.

You can't cry already.

I practiced this so I can make you happy.

[Lovers In Asuka]

Even Lee Ma Ri read these books!

You all should read more!

- Teacher... - What?

['Lovers In Asuka', A Hit On The Internet]

[Lee Ma Ri's Lovers In Asuka: 'Best Book of 2008]

You were a little too liberal and loose in problem recognition.

Let's put all those weaknesses aside.

Did you really write this thesis on your own?

I noticed that there is a discrepancy in the problem recognition

discussed in the introduction compared to the body.

It wouldn't be good for you to be falsely accused of using a ghostwriter.

Professor...

Yoo Ri!

The guys from the band are here.

- Come and join us. - Okay, Auntie.

Yoo Rii, I'm here.

Byung Joon.

Oh, you made a lot of things today.

Why is it so noisy outside?

The men who used to play in my dad's band are here.

They were on tour and they came to Seoul.

Oh, really?

Then there's going to be a gig here tonight?

Why are you sitting there?

Did you relapse?

No.

I've been sitting for too long, so my legs fell asleep.

I can't afford to relapse.

Let's go.

Hey, Chul Soo!

Dr. Kim!

Chul Soo grew so much.

Do you remember when I used to bathe you?

Hey, wasn't I really awesome back in the days?

Come on, was I awesome or what?

Bo Yong was the one who was really awesome.

Why are you bringing up Bo Yong here?

Right, Bo Yong.

I admit Bo Yong was really awesome.

Hey, who's Bo Yong?

Who's Bo Yong?

Don't talk about that tramp.

What's wrong?

A long time ago, Bo Yong sold Ok Ja's store and took off to America.

That's how we all ended up like this.

I told you not to talk about that tramp again.

You want to get kicked out?

You'll be bored without me.

Who's that?

Mom.

That's my mom.

Man...

I have something to tell you, Auntie.

What is it?

I'm planning to get a job.

Chul Soo.

I'm going to quit school and get a job.

Why are you changing your mind all of a sudden?

You said your thesis was a hit.

Doesn't that mean you'll get a full time position?

I should've made this decision a long time ago.

I really wanted to write more than become a professor anyway.

Like you said, it doesn't make sense for me.

I don't want that if it's because of me.

It's not because of you.

If it's not for Yoo Ri, are you doing this because

you don't think you'll get a full time position?

Or is it because of that girl in Japan that you got back with?

You're changing your mind now that you have a woman?

Ok Ja...

You're so selfish.

Why is she getting mad when she's the one who told him to quit school?

Just go ahead and write, Chul Soo.

No, Auntie.

I'm not competent.

I believe you're highly competent.

No.

I believe the fact that an actress like me drew people's attention

to various literature is what people were impressed by.

Lee Ma Ri is really smart.

I always knew that.

When did you read all those books with your busy schedule?

I barely finished high school because I was busy acting.

I didn't have time to read.

I should still make time to read.

Everyone only asks me about my book these days

so I sometimes forget whether I'm a writer or an actress.

She always tries to avoid talking about her book.

You've all read 'Lovers in Asuka,' right?

Yes.

Which is your favorite out of the books mentioned in this book?

My favorite is a classic and it was written in a man's perspective.

Do you want to guess what it is?

What was that?

'The Sorrows of Young Werther.'

'The Catcher in the Rye.'

How did you know?

You didn't even read her book.

Did you read it?

You sneaky guy.

I guess no one knows.

It looks like you will have to tell the viewers.

She doesn't even know what she wrote?

Well, that may be how I described it in my book

but that was how I felt about it at the time I wrote it.

I think the most difficult things to choose are your shoes and books.

Yes.

I noticed that your shoes are really pretty.

Hey.

I haven't seen Ma Ri in so long.

It's so hard to see her on TV these days.

It's distracting me.

You said you're going to quit. Why are you studying?

Chul Soo, you're really going to quit school?

Yes.

Because of Eun Young?

Have you read that book?

Of course, it was really good.

Lee Ma Ri is really special.

Whether it's fake or not, I like who she is.

I'd never be able to do what she does.

It's like a dream to me.

Right.

What happened in Japan was like a dream to me.

And when I woke up, I was able to see the reality more clearly.

And I thought I shouldn't just be dreaming anymore.

I feel guilty for some reason.

Why am I feeling so guilty?

You're not sleeping here tonight?

I think I'd better leave you alone tonight.

You can dream about Eun Young and I can dream about Lee Ma Ri.

Good night.

What?

Oh, nothing.

It's nothing.

So he was a fan of the Paper Bag Dude?

I know Lee Ma Ri is hard to resist.

'Lovers In Asuka' is such a big hit.

Even the classic novels Lee Ma Ri mentioned in

'Lovers In Asuka' are being republished and making a comeback.

Had I known you liked books so much, we would've talked more about books.

You're right.

Ma Ri, please say a word to our viewers.

Thank you all for supporting my movie, 'Goodbye My Love' and my...

my... my book 'Lovers In Asuka.'

The days I spent in Japan writing my book were like a dream to me.

I hope you can all dream the same dream while you read my book.

Thank you.

[Lee Ma Ri]

No.

Why would Lee Ma Ri call me?

Lee Ma Ri?

No way.

I've been reading your book.

I always knew you were perceptive

but you also expressed your sophisticated side.

The public may call it pedantic, but if not for elitists like us

it would be difficult for them to broaden their understanding.

What do you think?

Yes.

You're right.

You, Director Cho...

and Lee Ma Ri are artists, not critics.

Let's stop talking about that and talk about the movie.

Ma Ri, which book is your favorite out of the ones you mentioned?

The fun one.

You're so suave.

Have you seen Lee Ma Ri's face?

She's not like how she used to be, right?

That's why she had to write that book.

Right, that book.

There's a rumor that she didn't write that book.

Really?

I'm sure that's not true, but people say those things

because it totally doesn't fit her image.

The most heartwarming gift this winter may be a book.

That was good.

We'll do it one more time.

Light team and props team, please check those books.

It took me two hours to get my makeup done.

Why aren't you letting me go there?

There are reporters everywhere at the fashion show.

What are you going to say to them this time to get yourself in trouble again?

You're forbidden to go on talk shows from now on.

Then you're telling me to stay home like this every day?

You don't have time to stay home.

You have to go shoot the commercial...

That's why I didn't want to write a book.

I can't go on like this.

I can't just stay home and not see anyone.

At least get me a private tutor.

I thought you're smarter than that.

What would people say if they find out that you're getting tutored?

Time will pass and you don't have to do a thing.

I'll take care of everything, okay?

You'll take care of everything?

Do you know how many offers you're getting to be in commercials?

Movies too.

Even women are becoming your fans and

those snobby critics are starting to compliment you.

The whole world is talking about your book!

But that's not even my book!

Then whose book is it? Is it mine?

It's not easy to get this kind of recognition.

You should be singing and dancing for joy right now.

You just want to be a mediocre star and end your career by getting married?

I'm just asking you to go where no one's gone before.

You and me.

Are you sure I'm going there with you?

Just do as I say.

Avoid interviews for a while and then just start shooting the movie.

It'll be over if you go abroad after the shooting begins.

Just ignore the rumors.

If they continue to gossip about the book, then we'll just start a scandal.

It'll all be forgotten.

What the public will remember is the image of Lee Ma Ri who wrote a book.

The intellectual Lee Ma Ri.

Yes, this is Seo Tae Sok.

Yes, Producer.

Yes.

I'll have to check Ma Ri's schedule first

but I don't think she can be on your show...

It's Lee Ma Ri.

I'll be on it.

Talk to my agent about the details.

We'll call you back.

Okay.

You don't need to make the decisions for me.

I'll take care of my business myself from now on.

I've made my decision.

I'll just get married and end my career now.

Ma Ri!

It's enough that you fooled me with Woo Jin.

You can't fool me anymore.

Woo Jin?

Who should I have dinner with tonight?

Hello.

Hello? This is Kim Chul Soo's...

Hello?

Hello?

Lee Ma Ri?

This guy...

What do you mean, 'Lee Ma Ri'?

Who did you save as 'Lee Ma Ri'?

It's me.

It's Lee Ma Ri.

I just called you.

Kim Chul Soo?

Don't... Don't play around like that!

Man...

This is crazy.

You can't hear me?

Hello?

Kim Chul Soo...

Who is this?

Are you the Lee Ma Ri I know?

Actress Lee Ma Ri?

Hello, hello?

What is this?

How does Chul Soo know Lee Ma Ri?

Where would you like to go now?

I'll just get off here.

What?

Don't wait for me. I'll go home on my own.

Please hand in your reports.

And don't forget about next wednesday.

How could anyone criticize someone for giving up their dream?

Hello.

It's been a long time, Kim Chul Soo.

Yes, hello.

Subtitles by SBS

I no longer want to be controlled by you.

So please don't show up in my life like that.

You coward.

Have we met before?

It feels good to be having coffee with you in the morning.

This is where I draw the line.

I can't leave her like this anymore.

Will you live with me for a month?
