Original subtitles

My life's been a series of impossibles.

But "impossible" is not a fact,

but a matter of opinion.

Turning the impossible into possible is tough.

It's filled with hard hits,

often leaving behind scars.

But scars are signs of overcoming injuries.

Only one thing has the power to do that,

and that's love.

That is how I gifted her

the glorious trophy.

- Again? - Please, stop lying!

- So that's all a lie? - He's talking crap again.

Now that you're entertained, let's begin class!

Stop that!

- Tell us one more story! - Let's begin! Spread out!

FROM HWAN SEUNG-HEE

Hwan Seung-hee.

I never knew

the surname "Hwan" existed until that day.

JUNE 2005

Come at me. You bastard!

A weapon...

Why do you keep picking fights?

What is the reason this time?

Say something!

Why am I punishing you?

- Do you know? - Yes!

Yes? And you still fought?

Hello?

- You got a new transferee. - What happened?

Don't you dare move!

- Sit. - Yes.

Hwan Seung-hee.

I have never seen a Hwan before.

You came to Gangneung all the way from Jeonju?

Your grades are excellent.

Seniors don't usually transfer. Will you be okay?

It's fine.

- Stay here for a bit. - Okay.

Hey there, is this your first transfer?

I transferred here, too. First semester, last year.

If you need any advice, feel free to talk to me.

I'm Hwang Woo-yeon, Class 1.

Okay, this isn't the best first impression,

but I'm a good guy.

Hwang Woo-yeon, Class 1, your pants are ripped.

Damn it.

NEW CHICK'S HOT

THERE'S A HWAN?

SHE'S FROM JEONJU

SO CUTE!

I'M GOING TO ASK HER OUT

Did you get a pic?

Shit, stop taking pictures.

Screw off, asshole.

Seung-hee!

Let's get along.

She's a tough nut.

Hey, look!

THE NEW GIRL BELONGS TO TAEK-KI, SO LEAVE HER ALONE!

Long jump!

Shit, did you see? 2.7m!

Did you?

- All right. Second jump! - What a dumbass.

Look at that.

TAEK-KI'S GIRL T LOVES S

What is it?

Well...

Stupid bastards, so annoying.

You're adjusting quickly.

As transferees, do you want to go for a quickie?

Quickie. It's a brief and spontaneous episode of sexual activity.

I'm confused. What is she thinking?

I can't lose my composure, never.

Should we?

- Don't look up, or I'll kill you. - I'm not looking!

- Hurry up! - Don't look!

I need tteokbokki.

Do you know any good place?

The food here is good.

Are you sick?

No, I'm super healthy.

Are you originally from Jeonju?

No, I'm from Daejeon.

Daejeon? Were you born there?

Are you from the census?

Could I get some fritter and liver?

- Okay. - Thank you.

CONVENIENCE STORE

Hey, let's go!

What did you buy?

Well, you know.

What? Oh, cigarettes?

When was your first quickie?

What? Grade 8?

Really? That's fast...

You're so dirty!

Why is that dirty?

Cherry popping at that age is definitely not clean.

Cherry popping? What's that?

- What did you buy? - Stop that!

- Show me! - Don't do that!

- Bullcrap! - It's nothing like that!

Come on! Give it!

What? Lucky Charm? Ultra-thin condom?

Many slang terms exist for skipping class.

Cutting class, playing hooky, or bunking off in England.

There are many adequate words for it. So why?

You perverted bastard! What do you take me for?

It's still a mystery why it's "quickie" in Jeonju.

Shit!

Why didn't you just use slang everyone knows?

It's skipping class, or playing hooky!

You stupid bastard!

What? What's wrong?

No quickie today?

Stop that!

- Quickie? - Stop!

- When did you do it? - Shut up!

Seung-hee...

Shut the hell up!

I'm not done, asshole!

You bitch!

You really like tteokbokki.

And you really like fighting.

If you love it that much, at least get paid to do it.

Taek-ki's boys were looking for you.

So what?

If you tell them we're dating, they won't bother you.

You can pretend, or they'll keep harassing you.

Those guys are hooligans.

Look who's talking. You're the same.

- I have a reason. - A reason? That's an excuse.

Seung-hee!

I was 164cm tall when I transferred here.

They picked on me and called me City Hick,

but I drank three bottles of milk every day,

and had a growth spurt. So now I'm paying them back.

One at a time.

You live a complicated life. No, thank you.

What if I never fight again?

I'll promise.

You bastard...

Hey, City Hick.

So you two are having lunch?

Are you nuts?

We're dating.

Leave us alone. We want to have lunch quietly.

We're dating.

Your life at school will get tough.

Could you leave us?

- Keep your promise. - Yes, ma'am!

- Throw it away. - Hey, Taek-ki!

So you'll give up revenge for love?

I was getting sick of throwing punches.

Same shit over and over.

You're all grown up after one quickie?

- Stupid bastard. - I want to grow up, too.

- I want to be a man. - Shoot!

Shit.

What happened? Someone beat you up?

My dad beat me up while watching TV.

What?

Your punishment is oral poison.

He commits a crime and gets oral sex!

- Did I just hear that? - What did you say?

- What a dumbass! - That's what I heard!

Let me go, you crazy idiot.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This food is unfit for pre-phys ed university students.

You don't have to sit here.

What's wrong with taking an empty seat?

- What? - What was that just now?

You got some milk on you.

- What's he doing? - That dumbass...

Aren't I so dependable?

If it wasn't for me, you could've gotten hit.

- Hey! Wait for me! - It's so cold!

What?

IT'S MY 20TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY COMING BACK TOMORROW

What do you want to study at university?

I haven't thought about it yet.

I like to draw, but I probably won't make any money from that.

Why don't you ever study? Not interested in university?

Or is your family rich?

Studying is so boring.

Reading textbooks is the least fun thing to do.

Do you study for fun? Stop wasting your life away.

I'll live to 80.

So let me have fun for a few years. How is that wasting my time?

Idiot, you'll live a tough life because you wasted a few years.

So have fun and study, too.

Are you doing that on purpose?

Pretending to be tough, saying tough words. Right?

Whatever.

I was right.

Look, the homeroom teacher is there!

- Hey! You two! - What?

- Shit. - Don't let me catch you!

Stop right there!

- Dang it! - Stop!

- I'm going to get you! - Don't follow us!

Stop there, you punks!

You dwarf! I'm going to catch you!

I said stop! Punks!

I'll get you! Stop there!

I said you guys are done. Stop!

Where are they?

Hey, you giraffe!

Dwarf!

I can hear you two breathing!

I'll go easy on you so come out now.

- Not coming out? - Don't move!

- I'm trying... - Are you going to be here all night?

Can you move up a little?

- Stop squirming! - This is your last chance.

- Come out! - Damn teacher...

I should quit smoking.

I think he's gone.

- Is he? - I think so.

So you read everything.

What do you mean? I'm just curious about everything.

When's your birthday?

Mother's Day, May 8.

But we don't exchange gifts.

Holy crap. New Year for me.

My gift is always money for New Year's,

and my cake was always that soup for New Year's.

Whatever. How about a movie?

Okay.

Do you write in all your books like this?

When, where, and what you did when you bought the book?

It's better to record a memory than just write my name.

What? Aliens?

Which genre do you like? Comedy? Thriller?

Hey, what about something erotic?

I heard all guys have stuff like that.

Erotic?

You know, with tits and asses.

I already grew out of those...

- Wait! - Stop it!

I have a loser friend named Geun-nam,

and he left them here!

So guys really look at these and masturbate?

I'm just curious. When do guys start masturbating?

Tell me.

What the hell?

This is a modern era, you can tell me.

When did you start?

When?

Well...

At around 11 p.m.?

You dumbass, she didn't mean to ask about time.

Why didn't you say 11-year-old? That could have been a better answer.

Midnight for Cinderella

11 p.m. for Woo-yeon

Stop that!

I'll kill you!

Okay, I promise, I'll stop.

When time passes

It's nothing at all

Smile it off

I really like that song.

When I'm sad, I listen to it over and over again,

and I feel better.

I can walk home alone from here.

Hop on. I'll take you home.

It's okay. See you at school.

- Good night! See you tomorrow! - Bye!

I'm going! Bye!

Zero, five, zero, eight.

SAVE NEW PASSCODE?

Holy cow! Who are you?

Holy shit!

Can I stay here for a few days? I'm too embarrassed to go home.

What did you do this time?

I had a terrible day,

and was feeling sad. So I jerked off.

I locked my door,

and put on a hot porn.

You know.

And, goddammit...

I looked to my right and saw someone had brought me cake and juice.

You're disgusting.

That's not all!

My relatives came by today.

It could've been my aunt,

my cousin, or Mom...

I have no idea.

Dad would understand, right?

Go kill yourself, dipshit!

- What? - What's going on?

What will you do?

What the hell? What is it?

I've had enough. Let's go upstairs.

Upstairs where?

I have to whip your ass to maintain order here.

Get up, you asshole.

Sure, maintaining order is important.

Raise your hand if you think you're stronger than me.

Here.

Okay, Taek-ki. Anyone else?

- No one? - Me.

Okay, Jin-sam.

Anyone else?

So you two,

and then me.

I'll be the third one, then. Are you happy now?

Are you dicking me around?

Hey, stop!

Come on, asshole!

Happy?

We're settled.

- Goddammit! - I said let's stop.

I conceded to you, isn't that enough?

Let go of me!

- You bastard! - Taek-ki! Come on, man!

He knelt down to you!

Let go of me! Stay out of this!

- Let's stop! - You son of a bitch!

Why isn't he fighting back?

What? Is something on my face?

You're impressed that I kept my promise, aren't you?

What are you doing?

Every chance you get...

That's all you think about.

About what?

So if you want to eat snow crab,

- you have to fold it and... - Stop it!

METEOR DELIVERY

What's wrong?

Hey.

Eat something.

You even skipped lunch.

Should I feed you? Will you eat then?

Are you sick?

Or is it that time of the month?

Well, did you fight with your mom, then?

- What's going on? Tell me! - Just stop it! Leave me alone!

You got some temper...

Whatever! Eat it or toss it!

Just put on a big smile

It's a wonderful world

Smile again

Smile bigger

When time passes

It's nothing at all

Smile it off

Smile wide once more

-Laugh as if you have everything -Crazy bastard.

-So just laugh -That's pretty good.

Smile

Just smile it off

I was angry

And I was annoyed too

Lament on my misfortune

My love never comes back

And my future feels bleak

Well, it's so easy to give up

But that's life

It feels like only bad things happen

It's all up to you

So just put on a big smile

Tada!

This tiny thing can hold over 60 songs. Awesome, right?

A thank you would be nice.

I'm not very good at saying that, and I haven't had many opportunities to.

What's so hard about it?

Well, it's like...

a greeting.

Give me your hand. I got something for you, too.

Here.

Just one hand.

- Just your left. - Okay, fine.

Don't move.

Don't move, hold still.

Seung-hee, let's eat tteokbokki!

The number you have dialed...

She turned it off?

METEOR DELIVERY

He's been like that all day.

- Still... - He trashed everything.

How will she open the shop?

HAIR SALON

How can he call himself her husband...

Why did I marry him...

You weren't answering my calls...

Go!

Now!

Hello? Is it you, Seung-hee?

Yes.

Are you okay?

Where are you?

That man you saw is my dad.

He's a good man, except when he drinks.

So my mother and I have been running away.

He found us quickly this time, though.

- Woo-yeon. - Yes?

You're a good guy. Take care of yourself.

What do you mean by that?

Hey, Seung-hee!

Seung-hee!

If you skip class to cry in here like a baby because her,

will Min-jung take you back?

Do you think she will?

Hey!

You're really not coming out?

Leave me alone, I'm going nuts!

When you put it that way, I feel bad, too.

Do you know what I did after high school?

I was too dumb for university, so I fried chicken.

And there was this girl at university who would come in regularly.

Totally my type.

We got along, I bought her chicken, and even coffee.

So I asked her out, and you know what she said?

"I hate college rejects."

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Have a great meal. See you again!

This beer tastes flat.

A college reject shouldn't drink. Is your mock test score up?

Yes, indeed, I'm up to level three now.

So which university?

Obviously, any school in Seoul.

Check it out. The chicks are so hot there.

Such hotness!

I'm going to start using a Seoul accent.

And only drink Seoul Milk,

and dress more like someone from Seoul. Like polo shirts and stuff.

Dude, I'm going to take a drumstick.

Right? Aren't Seoul chicks hot?

So frigging hot...

So you want to go to her university?

Yes.

Love and university. It's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

What a load of crap.

Well, we can't say no if you want to study.

So, which university?

Hankook University.

Hankook University?

In Seoul?

Yes.

Don't laugh. I'm going to do this.

I'm sure you will, so which major?

- Physical education. - What? Physical education?

Why? Because you think it'll be easy?

Stop laughing at me!

Mom, I want bibimbap for all my meals.

I'm going to save time eating, too!

Stop laughing!

Hey, you just want to go to Seoul with Geun-nam, right?

So what? Did you two even go to university?

If Seung-hee should have gone to Harvard, you should have gone there, too.

It's simple.

- Think of the two girls as one person. - But you said two.

That's right. But...

I'm sick of this. What? Hankook University? Forget it!

But you said two...

Shit, I got it.

Dude, I got the answer. It's 480!

TEST ROOM 3

WELCOME NEW STUDENTS!

Look. He's so hot.

I searched the campus inside out but nothing.

I asked about her at the admin office,

but they said it's a violation of privacy,

punishable by 3 years in prison and a 10 million won fine.

While thinking about how to find her,

an idea popped up.

So many tteokbokki shops...

Why is your group so weird?

Right? I'm doing all the work.

Don't do that.

It's not like you'll get the best score. So just don't.

But no one's doing it!

Then ignore it like the rest.

- Seung-hee! - What if I fail?

- I can't fail. No way. - Hey, Hwan Seung-hee!

What? Woo-yeon!

Hey!

What are you doing here?

This doesn't make any sense.

I'm sure you weren't a charity case.

I told you I'm a genius. I just didn't try back then.

You know...

TUTOR AVAILABLE HANKOOK UNIVERSITY, FASHION DESIGN

Anyway, congrats. You finally wised up.

How did you end up in fashion design?

I have a new dream.

I want to start my own brand.

Hey, do you do a lot of tutoring?

I can't do too much because of classes.

I just do a little bit here and there.

He's here again.

You know him?

He hits on my boarding house lady quite a bit.

She rejects him, but he keeps gifting her rice and flowers.

That's what you do when you like someone.

Where do you live?

Listen up, newbies!

- Yes. - Okay.

No gambling, overnight guests, and skipping classes!

It's okay to bring boy or girlfriends,

but they can't move in.

Not because I'm single,

but for the sake of your parents who sent their children to Seoul.

- They're burning, flip them. - Okay.

I know how your parents at home feel, okay?

- Woo-yeon, Geun-nam! - Yes?

Eat plenty of veggies and less fast food.

- Veggies prevent fat hardening. - Thank you.

Thank you!

Gong-ja, you're not eating?

Well, I actually only eat beef.

But you look like you could eat an entire pig.

Come out when I say so!

- Set it on the table. - Okay.

- Thanks. - So we're all same age, right?

Yes.

We're on the same boat. Nice to meet you.

I'm a Hotel Management major, Choi Su-pyo. And I'm from Seogwipo.

- Physical Education, Hwang Woo-yeon. - Ok Geun-nam.

Fashion Design, Goo Gong-ja.

From Gongju, the Princess City, so I'm a prince type.

You're so stylish.

- Eating that? - No, take it.

Put the rice in.

I'm going to make mixed rice. Do you want some?

- Come on... - Did I say something?

Oh, he has an allergic reaction to mixed rice.

- Hey, Seung-hee! - Hi.

- Come, join! - Eat with us!

- Seung-hee, join us! - Come over!

It's okay.

Woo-yeon, could we talk?

- Did you have dinner? You should join us. - I got a boyfriend.

Is that so?

I wanted to tell you, so it's not awkward.

Not at all. That's it?

Okay, then.

Shit...

I didn't think of that.

Boyfriend...

Listen, buddy!

Probability-wise, it's better that she's taken.

I don't want to hear your crap. Go to sleep.

Love is all about probability...

- What're you doing? Drunk bastard. - I hate bunk beds...

Listen.

Let's say she's available, this long leg is you,

then there are fatty, medium, and skinny legs.

They're all your competition.

But with a boyfriend,

you're competing with just one.

You have a 50 percent chance, same as Taek-ki.

Son of a bitch!

You're a genius!

That prick's a captain of the football team.

This little prick...

- The quarterback is awesome. - I know...

Pass, pass!

Pass!

Defense! Defense!

Of course, he's the captain. Look at his hair.

So shiny and perfect.

Wow, he must be popular.

He's a bit hotter than Taek-ki.

Screw that.

He looks like a pimp.

You shouldn't touch the ball with your palm.

Put your fingers between the laces.

Elbow by your ears,

like this.

Woo-yeon, you try it.

Dammit...

Not like that.

- Between the laces... - Give me. I'll try again.

It's heavy, right?

- Break time! - Take one.

Thanks a lot.

Here.

Drop your hand.

I needed this.

You okay? Didn't get hurt?

- Maybe this much? - Don't be a baby.

Oh, right.

- Hey. - Yes?

Set me up with him.

Who?

Your tall and hot friend from your boarding house.

Him?

Why? He's got a girl?

No, nothing like that.

- I don't want to. - Why?

I just don't want to.

You two could be a good couple.

Hwan Seung-hee.

Do you think you know me so well?

Let's hear it, which type is right for me?

Forget it then, it's your loss.

Let me help you with that!

Come here and help!

- We're fine on our own. - I'll help you.

Allow me!

- You don't have to. - Wow, it's heavy.

- It'll only take a second. - We can help you.

- You really shouldn't. - It's fine.

Get your own line. University students need the internet.

Sorry about that.

Thank you so much!

Take this.

How do you say a girl's flexible in English?

I want to date bendy women...

Police!

What the shit?

Hello?

- Is watching porno illegal? - Be quiet!

We're so screwed!

- Open this door! - Sure!

- What's wrong? - Move aside.

- Come with me. - Why? What did I do?

You'll find out!

- What's going on? - What did he do?

I don't know.

What did I do?

You perverted bastard!

- I didn't do anything! - Tell me what I did!

- Seung-hee! - Hey!

- Come with us! - Shit, what should we do?

Why're they taking Seung-hee?

Is it because we downloaded porn?

They must have traced her IP.

And the computer is Woo-yeon's.

That must be it! Korea's IT is so advanced!

What do we do?

- What do I do with these? - What do you mean?

You have to destroy all of them!

Screw that, hold on! Not this one!

Hold still! Don't touch that!

Perverts...

It was Su-pyo...

Here, look, they're taking money.

Who'd have thought these seniors were the thieves?

You tell them!

Sir, she's innocent, could you let her go?

You want to be chivalrous?

Come on, we are curious hot-blooded boys.

We just wanted to see white chicks, you know?

What do you take me for?

How about six years in prison?

- What? Six years? - Really?

Six years for what?

- You. - Yes?

Give me the grandparents' number.

My grandparents? They passed away.

Passed away? Like hell they are!

I saw them with my own damn eyes!

They died when I was a kid. I don't even remember them.

Don't lie!

Are you going to pretend you don't even have a dad then?

Yes. I severed ties with him years ago. Is that a crime?

Why are you bringing him up?

You little punk!

You guys are too much!

Why bring up her tragic family history?

All right. Look.

How much did you take?

What money?

- He's been brainwashed. - I know you took it!

You got paid to show them that?

You got it all wrong! I didn't take any money!

- Hey, just stop. - Idiot!

Show what?

They got something else. This is a gold mine!

Sir, help me!

Just spill it.

Oh, man!

Seriously, what are we doing here?

We're in a jail cell and...

Will you two keep quiet?

Come on...

We arrested the seniors, and they're on the way.

- So hold on tight. - Okay.

Why are you so happy to get beaten up by a girl?

Dimwitted bastard.

- Listen. - What?

About Yoon-geun...

Why do you like him?

That's a bit random.

I was just curious.

It only took three seconds.

- Three seconds? - Yes.

I heard it only takes three seconds to fall for someone.

It could be love at first sight,

or it could be your friend, but feels like someone new.

I took the entrance exam and dropped my test slip.

See you in March.

It took...

exactly three seconds.

That was it.

- Really? - Yes.

In front of the T.A.?

So-jung was so embarrassed,

she said to Bu-sun, "why are you so slow-witted?"

Shit.

Ma'am! It's Woo-yeon, let me in!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

What is it?

Isn't it important to create an academic atmosphere here?

- So? - This is a sacred space!

A man and a woman! In a room! Every night!

Chatting and laughing!

I can't study at all!

It wasn't intentional, but being lonely for so long...

Who's not lonely here? We're all from out of town.

I'm lonely, too. I could die of that!

Hey there.

I told you to stay quiet.

I'm sorry about everything.

We didn't intend to interfere with your studies.

We're celebrating our 100th day...

- Sorry about that. - Why are you sorry?

- Hey, you're right. - Ma'am.

- We disturbed your studies! - Wait, please!

So what?

- What's your score? - I'm sorry!

- You drink every day! - What's going on?

- Can't I fall in love, too? - Please stop.

Please stop...

Stay out of this!

Think you know love?

- Why then? - Go easy on him, baby!

We have to finish what we started.

Answer me. Hey!

You did the laundry drunk. You mixed colors and whites!

Don't touch me!

Oh, my god. Who is that blonde?

She must be the German exchange student.

Her tits are out of this world!

Who did we exchange to get that angel? Hold this.

What?

He's so brave.

He watches so much porn that he doesn't fear white people.

Dude, hold this.

What now?

Excuse me, hello?

I'm a new student here, so I'm a little lost.

Which way is to your home?

You're so pretty.

Did we come to college to hook up?

I bet they didn't call their moms,

let alone send flowers.

Today's Mother's Day?

Please, don't. I'll be sick if I take anymore.

Sorry. I have to go!

He's a good son...

- Do you like it? - So pretty.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Dammit!

SEPTEMBER 2007

He still looks like a hobo.

I regret asking you to set me up with him.

He should go to the homeless shelter.

- Thanks for not setting me up... - So-jung!

Your brows are mismatched. This part's thicker.

- Really? - Yes.

- But I drew it well... - You should check it.

Wash your shirt for once.

Hwang Woo-yeon!

Hey! Stop ignoring me!

- Hey! - What? What is it!

I have some friends in Paris and London.

Wow... Paris? London?

I've never been outside Korea.

Do you want to go?

But Europe's expensive.

Why worry about that? You'll be my guest.

What do I tell my parents?

Just say you're going on a trip with friends.

Yoon-geun, run!

We can do it!

- Yes, let's do this! - Let's go!

We can win!

Yoon-geun, we might actually win this game.

I know. I'm nervous, too.

I bet something on this game.

Way to go!

How much?

Not money, to Seung-hee.

If we win, I promised her a trip to Europe.

She didn't know we might be winning.

- Too cold? - Yes, a bit.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Going to Europe?

You want to go with that bastard?

What's it to you?

Hey, snap out of it!

Your boyfriend was using Europe to hit on a girl.

Smashing his window wasn't enough for you?

Wasn't that enough for you?

You disappoint me.

One touchdown to win!

One minute is enough. Don't give up, okay?

What was that?

Get it together! Look at the time!

Don't mind the clock. Receivers, go wide. And...

Shit, three seconds!

It's that important?

I'll get through, so cover me.

- What the hell, man. - You will?

We got three seconds...

The play isn't over if we have the ball.

Then the game is still on.

I believe in you.

Someone said once that a first love is like learning to walk.

You need to learn to fall, so you can walk properly.

Another said

those who never experience first love are fools.

They're so full of shit.

Good job!

Stop him!

2012 GENERAL ELECTION GALLUP POLL

GALLUP POLL RESULTS

Guys, there are feminine and adolescent psychologies,

but not men. Why do you think so?

Well, because guys are...

so moody?

Why is that?

Because it's the same as adolescent psychology.

So I let my baby do whatever he likes.

Min-kyung, you should reconsider.

It's my dad. I have to take this.

Of course! Take your time!

Hi, dad.

I heard she's from a rich family.

If they're buying a house for you two, just accept it. Okay?

It's too early for that!

If you graduate, you'll become a teacher. Then it's a done deal.

- I still have the performance test left. - That's piece of cake for you two.

I want to meet rich girls too, but I only get hick girls.

It's because you're targeting boarding house girls.

They provide food and shelter. What do you know about girls?

Excuse me. Three more portions, please! This soldier's buying!

What the hell, asshole!

How dare you try to buy drinks with tax money!

And I only ate three pieces!

Cheap bastard. He never buys.

COMSEC, Choi Su-pyo!

- A soldier's drinking! - He's using tax money!

National defense budget. He's wasting it all!

Last set!

One! Nice! Good posture!

Two, breathe out!

Come workout!

Come workout!

Here!

No thanks.

Turn your head slowly. Okay, good.

Seung-hee, by yourself.

Okay.

- Look at the camera. - Okay.

Smile.

Good.

Let's switch it up.

Yes, that's good.

Good, smile like that. Very good!

I did part-time modeling by chance,

and I got paid two million won.

That's like several months of part-time gigs.

So I wanted to do one more modeling gig, and I'm still doing it.

- I saw you on cable TV. - What?

- Taste of Market. - Dang it!

So embarrassing!

That got canceled in a month, you saw that?

Yes.

- So you have a girlfriend? - Yes.

Her name is Min-kyung, a graduate student.

I see.

You? Dating anyone?

Don't even mention it. I'm not interested.

I saw so many weirdos in this field.

Yes?

Something bad?

A friend was supposed to help, but she can't do it this time.

What kind of help?

I got a lot of work out of town, so she's been driving me.

It's hard driving all night and shooting in the morning.

I'll help you. I got plenty of time.

- Really? - Yes.

- Hot! - Cut!

- You can't even do that? - I'm so sorry!

We have to set up the table again!

I'm sorry...

Hi!

The fish has to flap around. This feels dull.

Wake up!

Let's end with a front shot of you falling into the water.

What?

In the water?

Yes, give it a try!

The weather's good. Let's go with that.

Right. The most important thing, your pay.

Thank you for helping me.

Good night, and see you in two days.

Wait.

What?

I didn't want it to go to waste.

2013 FASHION DESIGNER RECRUITMENT

What you're doing is cool,

but you were cooler when you were designing.

It was your first dream.

MIN-KYUNG: LET'S WATCH A MOVIE TONIGHT

Why didn't you call me during your military service?

What?

There wasn't really any time,

and too hectic...

5 YEARS AGO

Hello?

I heard you're up for military service.

Yes, tomorrow morning.

I'm taking a bus there.

Should I see you off?

I was mortified.

I should've listened to you.

It's okay. I beat him up for you.

Son of a bitch, Yoon-geun.

I get instant gratification from saying that.

Son of a bitch, Yoon-geun.

Son of a cow, Yoon-geun.

Son of a cow, Yoon-geun.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Drink slowly. You're gulping it down. - It's okay.

It feels like you're forcing me to drink.

It's almost over. There is no time to eat.

I already paid for the last bus.

Don't try to get me drunk, miss the bus,

and force me to sleep here with you.

So I wasted money on condoms again?

That Lucky Charm one?

Come on!

INN

So cold...

Ma'am!

Did you see my friend?

You were dead without her last night.

What?

Hwang Woo-yeon!

Woo-yeon! Hey!

Why are you so loud?

Ma'am!

I think my drunk friend fell asleep in there.

It's been 40 minutes.

But it's so cold in the washroom.

What do we do?

- Got it, got it! - It's open! Good!

Wait! Ma'am! Come back!

I don't believe this!

You pooped everywhere and fell asleep.

She cleaned you up with hot water,

washed your clothes, and left on the first bus.

Such a nice girl.

She did that?

You didn't clean me?

Why the hell would I clean your poop?

I can still smell it...

Wear a diaper when you go out drinking, okay?

Goddammit!

I'M LEAVING EARLY TO SAVE YOU SOME FACE

CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE ASSIGNED

Yes, Producer Choi!

I'm on the way.

It's my first TV commercial,

so I'm taking extra care of my skin for...

What?

My scene's been cut?

How could you tell me that hours before the shoot?

Hello?

Producer? Hello?

Son of a bitch, Choi!

Son of an asshole, Choi!

You remember that?

Of course I do. You taught me that.

Stupid bastard, Choi!

Stupid idiot, Choi!

Get in. I know a place.

Let's just get lunch.

- Hey. - What?

Forget it.

I don't want to.

What did you want to show me?

Totally worth sneaking in.

Since you didn't call at all,

I thought you forgot about me.

How could I forget?

Whenever I ride a bus, I keep hearing "transfer."

Why did we have to meet as transfer students?

I actually thought about you quite a bit.

What if you got drunk again,

and pooped everywhere and died in a toilet?

Stop it.

I got something else. Can I say it?

At 11 p.m. every night, I thought, "he must be busy!"

Stop it, come on.

Midnight for Cinderella, 11 p.m. for Woo-yeon!

Stop it!

I'll kill you!

I've had it!

You'll meet your end!

Yoon-geun in university, Min-kyung then.

We always had barriers.

Love is all about timing.

More important than my passion for her

was when our paths would cross again.

That's how fate works.

- See you. - Seug-hee!

Don't.

I still like you.

What about you?

Woo-yeon.

- I'm happy when I'm around you, but... - That's enough.

What? What are you going to do?

Hwang Woo-yeon!

Hey!

Come on...

Get set. Ready!

Woo-yeon!

Maybe I gave you too much freedom.

That friend of yours is your first love, right?

Yes.

Do you still like her?

I'm sorry.

I really am.

WE SHOULDN'T SEE EACH OTHER ANYMORE SORRY, SEUNG-HEE

Was your body never the same

even after recovering from your injuries or illnesses?

We're at a physiotherapy clinic in...

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, sir, one moment.

Sure.

Let's take some rest.

Didn't you see my text? We shouldn't meet again.

I broke it off.

I told her what you mean to me.

How? What do I mean to you?

Why are you so stubborn?

You're like this because of some feelings from when we were kids.

I'm not the same girl you longed for back then.

But you are. You're still the same.

Why don't you know?

There's always another bus, and half of the world is female!

Right. Seoul population is 10 million, and half of that is 5 million.

And let's say that girls my age are 100,000.

Another half of them are single and available girls.

From there, remove girls I'm related to,

and girls from the one percent.

And last, remove anyone my friends or relatives have ever liked or dated.

That will only get complicated.

What else...

Half the world is female? What's the point?

They're not you.

I have to go.

Seung-hee!

Are you okay?

Oh my god!

Someone call an ambulance!

Woo-yeon!

Hwang Woo-yeon!

Please help! Woo-yeon!

I heard your performance exam was yesterday.

I can repeat a year. You know I'm good at that.

Don't joke about that.

How can you laugh right now?

I'm just glad you're not hurt.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

- Don't you have a brain? - What did I do?

You wasted a month of part-time work on this?

You're so hopeless, you stupid!

Stupid? How could you say that?

I bought it for you because I could never buy you a proper gift.

If you saved 100 thousand won a month, you could have 600 thousand won now!

Don't you have any future plans?

What about savings? A housing deposit?

And look at this credit card bill!

You stupid! A housing deposit in Seoul can't be saved in a year or two!

So you'll rent all your life? Do you ever think about me?

Then you're thinking about moving in with me?

I want to kiss!

Then get on it!

Come here.

What if I had bad credit with one billion won in gambling debt?

I'll pay it all back by selling my organs.

Or I'll go to jail for you.

What if I get dementia, and can't remember anything?

And I poop everywhere.

I'll install tiles and waterproof the bed.

All right.

Then what if I get into an accident, and can't walk anymore?

That's a good thing. You won't ever leave me then.

What if I lose this?

You're such a bad girl.

Almost done!

What is it?

Making my boyfriend a jacket, of course.

- Nice. - Let me check your shoulder.

- Put this over you. - Okay.

It's still far off, but...

Not in public!

Come here.

You'll get wet.

You're all wet.

Ta-da!

- Let me try it! - It's not done yet.

- You said it's done! - Not yet!

- But you did say it's done! - No, not yet!

Looks so good.

Of course. It's my girl's work. The guys are here.

Over here! Seung-hee!

- Hey, guys! - Congrats on your promotion!

Congrats!

- Come quickly! - I'm glad you stuck with design.

- Where are your manners! - We're getting old together.

Move over, let her sit.

SEPTEMBER 10 INTERVIEW AT 3 P.M.

APPLICATION DATES

JOB APPLICATION FORM

I WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE MY DREAM WITH YOUR COMPANY

Baby, eat this.

- It's burnt. - Let's drink.

Seung-hee, why don't you get married?

You'd look so good in a wedding dress.

She's right.

Don't waste time, get hitched right away.

- You totally should. - But that's...

Listen! Is getting married so easy?

Remember Nelson Mandela? Nobel Peace Prize winner.

He endured torture for 27 years in a desert prison,

but got divorced in six months.

Why bring that up here?

Don't worry. He's way too cheap to pay for a divorce.

He's never bought us booze. How's your new home? Happy?

Of course, you punk!

Mr. Homeowner! Congrats!

But the mortgage is enormous. We're slaves to the bank.

Baby, I planned everything out for our future.

Just trust me and go with it, okay?

Does life ever pan out accordingly?

Not even a single life works out properly.

Gong-ja borrowed money to start his business,

but lost everything in six months and got a job.

Idiot!

And Geun-nam bought a used car to drive himself to work,

then smashed a luxury car on his first day at work.

I remember that, stupid idiot.

Let's go outside and get some fresh air.

- Go ahead. - Let's go.

- Sorry about what I said. - Not at all.

Not at all.

Choi Su-pyo!

Before you get married,

destroy those CDs in the Adidas shoebox.

What CDs?

Language tutorial CDs.

What language?

- English! - Japanese!

- German! - English!

What?

What's wrong?

I think it's all because of me.

You didn't get the score needed to become a teacher

because you got injured for me.

That always bothered me, and seeing you like this...

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

You wanted to come here all of sudden?

Yes.

This place never changes.

It will still look the same decades later.

We will reminisce about this walk when we come back in the future.

The city will never redevelop this historic trail.

I don't have the energy to think that far ahead.

What should we have for dinner?

My company's sending me to Belgium.

How long?

They say two years, but it could be three years.

Go ahead.

That's it?

Is it that simple?

Why complicate things? I can't deter you.

You'll go anyway.

Jeez.

Did you get any sleep?

Well, yes...

- It's a son? - Of course, it's a son!

Wasn't 12 weeks ago that day?

The day you lost your porn stash.

- Conceive on that day? - Loser.

- You got me really drunk... - It's because of him.

I was too drunk to get a condom.

Give me that.

These are brand new.

You have to start with these.

Something cheap.

What's with you lately?

About what?

Spill it, asshole!

Forget it.

I know you inside out.

Where would I be if I'd never met Seung-hee?

There would've been no university for you, asshole!

No, as a university senior!

I wouldn't have gotten injured,

and I'd have a job by now.

I wouldn't be training fat middle-aged people

and cleaning the gym.

You will get a job soon, I guarantee you that.

I'm trying desperately to get a job.

You know what? I've been writing cover letter these days.

And I first wrote "athlete" as my dream,

but I kept switching to something else.

I can never stick with one. This isn't me.

I'm a fake.

Listen to me.

My cover letter is fiction, a fantasy novel.

I don't know what to do. How am I supposed to live?

But what I'm most afraid of

is that I might regret meeting Seung-hee

whenever my life gets hard.

That's what I'm most afraid of.

Dude, stop saying bullshit and let's get drunk.

Aren't I right, though?

No matter how I think about it,

that's when my life got messed up.

Messed up?

Because of me?

Did we come here to dick around?

Regret? Do you regret it?

That's not it. I was saying I'm afraid I might.

So that's what you couldn't tell me.

But did I ask for that?

Getting hurt and us dating were all your choices.

But you regret it?

I'm just saying...

I meant to say that the circumstance was bad.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

You know I'm not feeling myself lately.

I can't believe this.

How could you...

Dad was the same.

Whenever things didn't work out, he blamed mom.

He said she messed things up.

Let's break up.

Or I might regret it.

Does that still work?

Whenever dad got drunk, I came out and listened to this.

Until mom called me to say it was over.

I didn't think I'd listen to this because of you.

I...

I'm really sorry.

I think I'll be getting a job soon.

My professor recommended me to a middle school, and I got a call.

That's good.

That's really good.

That makes me feel better.

Of course, it'll be all right.

I decided to go to Belgium.

It's a good opportunity.

That's great!

I'll wait for you.

Consider it my punishment.

Is that good?

Fine! Just hit me!

Hwang Woo-yeon, you idiot!

I told you I wasn't myself.

I misspoke. It was a mistake.

Please forget what I said.

It's not that I can't forget what you said.

It's the fact that

you thought about it.

This remedy doesn't work anymore.

Have a good interview.

Agility is evaluated by

running in place,

long jump,

and high jump.

Also, a 50-meter sprint

and a 100-meter sprint.

Do you want to study by yourself? This class is dull, right?

Not even a class, right?

It's not the class. Your lesson is dull.

Since the first class, you always look angry.

- Angry? - Yes, why are you so serious?

- She's right. - Tell us about your first love!

First kiss! Please!

- That's good. - First kiss! First kiss!

- First kiss! - First kiss!

You won't like my first love story.

- Tell us! - Please.

It's pretty intense. Can you handle it?

Yes!

When I was a high school senior,

I went to a tteokbokki shop and there was a part-timer girl.

And bullies from my school were harassing her.

So I told them to stop,

and they asked who I was. I said I was her boyfriend.

Then I kicked them all and dropped all four of them.

But later, they brought 20 of their friends.

So I took her hand and sprinted!

Guys, let me continue.

There was this charcoal factory and we hid inside.

The charcoal started getting mushy because of the rain.

So I went like this to protect the girl.

WITH GOO GONG-JA CELEBRATE AT HOME WITH US

Thank you.

Transfer accepted.

Transfer accepted.

Transfer accepted.

PRESENT DAY 2018

- Are you okay? - It hurts a bit!

What?

You punks!

When did you come back?

About a month ago...

I heard you became a full-time teacher, congrats.

Thanks. They recognized my true potential.

Why are you hesitating? Getting married or something?

Yes.

Really? Congratulations.

I thought it was courtesy to tell you in person.

I knew you would find out anyway.

And I didn't want to call you about it either.

Sure, you're at that age.

Get married, have plenty of healthy kids,

and live a happy life.

Thanks.

Is he Korean?

Yes, he works for a trading company in Belgium.

- I see. - Yes.

Oh right. Make sure to send me

a wedding invitation, got it?

FROM HWAN SEUNG-HEE

So she actually sent it!

It's just something you say!

- Same shit over and over... - Like, "let's have a drink sometime."

Everyone says that but no one carries through!

She said it was courtesy to tell me in person.

Screw that! She planned it!

I know her too well!

Woo-yeon, drink water.

"Don't come around anymore!

I never want to see you again!" That's what she meant!

Woo-yeon! Drink water first.

This tastes like booze!

Anyway, I'm not going.

Why should I? Right?

Never, ever!

- Either cry, or get some sleep! - I'm not going to cry! I won't sleep!

What would you do?

What if you got a call about Eun-young's wedding?

Of course, I would go and bless her!

I would bring a hundred guys to jack up her wedding expenses!

Guys!

Let's go!

Let's go somewhere isolated!

- Isolated. - "Isolated"?

This is isolation?

It's more like kidnapping, asshole.

What? This is nice.

No wife, no son, and no dirty diapers.

This is good.

Hey.

Are you still using 0508 as your passcode?

Bank account, door and everything?

Not because I can't forget her.

I'm just too lazy.

There's an e-mail account I used when I was dating Hyun-joo.

I never used it after we broke up,

but this client kept sending me e-mails to it.

I totally forgot about her, but PTSD continues.

Post-traumatic stress disorder?

Are you kidding?

Damn...

We broke up two months after I got this.

I got a brain freeze from the stress.

Whenever I go for a laser tattoo removal,

I imagine burning her forehead and branding her...

Just meet another Eun-young. Then you won't have to waste your money.

- Shit, you're genius. - Got one! A big one!

- Do you know an Eun-young? - It's big!

- Holy cow! So glad we came! - I'll look around for you.

Great job, so proud of you.

So if I meet one, should I get it retouched?

Got any more beer?

Hey, got any more beer?

Why isn't anyone having fun?

How could they...

- What the hell... - What's going on?

YOU'RE SO LUCKY. YOU CAUGHT ME!

Timing.

It's all about timing.

Guys, get up!

I want to go to the wedding! Hurry!

Make up your damn mind!

I don't even have a suit!

- I'll buy you suits! - Free suit!

Okay, get ready!

- What about shoes? - I'll buy!

- Sir! - Sir!

- Boat! - Boat!

- Sir! - Sir!

- Boat! - Boat!

Shit.

Let's do it.

- Help! He's drowning! - Sir! Help us!

Bride, straighten your back.

My waist is going numb.

One, two, three!

Good day.

So you're super isolated?

Say what?

I don't know what you'll say, but do it after the wedding.

She's about to get hitched. This is a huge mistake, and...

Okay, I'll take the center.

Bring it in.

Thanks, I believe in you.

- Okay, let's go. - Sure.

- What? 100-day old already? - It's so quick.

- Did you see? I want to see a photo. - Yes. So adorable!

- Show me. - Do you want to see?

Hold on.

- Are you the bridesmaid? - I am.

The MC wants to discuss something with you.

- Are you available? - Yes, what is it?

The groom's hair is all mess up.

I mean, let's go and see.

- Thank you. - Congrats, see you inside.

See you later.

Where did everyone go? Did she go to the washroom?

This is so hard.

- Hey, people are coming. - Excuse me. Wait a minute!

- You can't go in right now. - But we're Seung-hee's friends.

She's having a wardrobe malfunction.

What? Did she fail her diet?

I think it's because of the fabric.

Oh, right. The fabric!

- Unexpectedly! - Sorry about that!

The dress is pretty.

But not the bride?

You came.

I told you to send the invitation.

I wanted to say something too.

Hwan Seung-hee.

I regretted it so much.

For hurting you.

For saying I regretted meeting you.

It's actually the opposite.

I'm really happy lately.

Teaching is a lot of fun, too.

It's all thanks to you.

I could have a new dream because of you.

I went to college and met good friends.

I even became a teacher.

You changed me into who I am.

I could've wasted my life, but you made me into a man.

Thanks for showing up suddenly in my life.

Thanks so much, Seung-hee.

Have a good life.

And always be happy.

Well...

When I visited you at school, I wanted to say something.

Whenever I was lonely,

or lost direction in life,

or forgot about my dream, or when I took a wrong turn,

you were always by my side.

Hwang Woo-yeon!

Thank you, so very much.

Bride, enter.

Please greet her with great applause.

- So pretty! - Beautiful!
