[Myungse Hospital December 23, 1992]

I have the documents.

I just need the signature.

I told you! He's almost convinced. You just need to wait a few days.

Four days! I will set the deal in four days.

I said I will get it done!

Mr. Oh! Let us calm down.

We still have time. Yes.

[Kim Young Sam elected.]

Are you going home Dr. Choi?

- Yes. Keep up the good work. - Good night sir.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

[Director] [Assistant Director]

May I help you?

We're closed for today.

Hi Sun Woo.

Hi.

- Is my father here? - Yes.

- Is the Director here? - He went home.

Did he? What about Doctor Park Jung Woo?

Dr. Park went home too.

Who are you?

I'm the Director's old student.

You should have come earlier. He left quite a while ago.

Right? I just came in a hurry because I wanted to see him.

It's been 20 years since I have seen him last.

I see, then try going to his place.

I'm sure he's home right now.

I will.

Who is he?

That's funny.

If he was a student 20 years ago, how old was he back then?

He looked like in his late 30's at most.

- Sungbuk-dong please. - Okay.

This car is Prince right?

Yeah, it's a nice car.

It's really nice.

It is.

Can you stop the car?

What's wrong?

My brother is there.

Can you wait here for a sec?

It's cold.

Oh, someone came.

Can I get you something?

What did you want to eat?

Oh! Yes!

- Oh my god! - Jung Woo! Jung Woo!

Hey! You need to pay first! You can't just go.

- Oh yes! How much is it? - 20,000 Won.

One second.

Here.

[Kim Yoo Jin]

Dear my love Yoo Jin,

This will be the last letter that I write to you.

We're here.

Who's that?

Park Jung Woo!

Look at him.

Hi, I'm Jung Woo's friend.

Jung Woo got really drunk.

Did he cry about a girl?

What a fool.

Jang! Carry him to his room.

Can you help me carry him?

You two can do it. You don't need me.

- Where did he go? - Who?

[Kim Yoo Jin]

[December 24, 2012]

[Are you awake? I'm going to work right now.]

[Why are you going so early? You work at night.]

[I have a lot to do. I told them that you still couldn't get back to Korea.]

[You can sleep in.]

[You want me to come to work in the afternoon?]

[I considered the fact that our honeymoon was exhausting.]

[I never even imagined that you would treat me so well.]

[It's just for today.]

[It's Christmas Eve today. Aren't we going to do something?]

[Let's have dinner.]

[Can't you choose better words? You sound so heartless.]

[Like how?]

['I love you so much Baby. All I can think of is you this morning.']

['What should I do? Ppoing Ppoing.']

[Let's just break up.]

[I love you so much Babe. All I can think of is you this morning. What should I do? Ppoing Ppoing.]

[I didn't want to do it. But I like hearing it.]

[Keep it up.]

[Selfish.]

[That's my charm. You know that.]

You want to bet who will live longer?

I feel confident all of the sudden.

Fool. You're mine now.

You can't run away now.

Hello?

- You're back in Korea? - Yeah, last night.

Don't make me say this again. Get hospitalized today.

If you don't listen to me, I'm going to see your director and tell him everything.

That you're a ticking bomb.

If you don't want to get fired, take a leave of absence and come.

I mean this. I want to be your friend.

Hello?

[December 24, 1992]

Hi.

Is Sun Woo here?

- He's not. - He said that he was coming.

No one is here. I think it's because it's Christmas Eve.

I think everyone went out. You're still studying tonight?

I have a test next week.

Your mother is so lucky to have a hardworking son.

Okay good luck.

What is this?

He wrote me a Christmas card?

[To my friend who is on-duty at the ER on Christmas.]

[When you receive a letter on December 24, 2012 at 10 AM from me,]

[you will know what this card means.]

[See you in 20 years. Merry Christmas. Sun Woo.]

What is this?

Was he bored?

I have no idea...

Hello?

Hi Hye Jin.

Daddy is at work. I'm working.

Did I make a reservation? What reservation?

Of course I did.

Did Mom tell you to ask? Tell her not to worry.

Okay, I will be home at six.

I love you too.

I forgot to make the reservation.

I hope it's not all booked.

Why is he sending me an e-mail?

[Merry Christmas. I'm sending a Christmas card again after 20 years.]

[Check the file.]

December 22, 2012.

My first message to my friend, Han Young Hoon.

I'm leaving a message because I'm concerned that

the events I have experienced were just symptoms.

I want you to try to understand me if I ever go out of control.

What I'm experiencing, and what I'm about to do.

Please do me a favor, and listen to me.

I lost my brother because I didn't pay attention to him.

Young Hoon, I think my brother died in search of a time machine.

Time machine?

His journal is confusing and full of holes but there are a few things that are certain.

I don't know exactly how or from whom, but he got an incense stick that brings him back 20 years.

He heard another secret there.

December 31, 1991.

If you receive mail on December 24, 2012, at 10AM

you will know the significance of this card.

See you in 20 years. Merry Christmas.

Dr. Han! Dr. Han?

We also faced a grave financial crisis.

But thanks to our research team who sacrificed their pay for the research

we could get to where we are today.

Sun Woo! You have a guest.

- A guest? - Yeah.

But he's weird.

He says that you're his friend.

Is it true?

- Yeah. - Okay, just making sure.

You got here earlier than I thought you would. You must have read it right away.

Sit down.

Christmas card.

Twenty years ago at the study hall.

I knew you would remember.

You were always good at memorizing.

You really wrote it?

I wrote it with this pen an hour ago.

I received your call this morning. I bought the card right away.

I left it on the desk 20 years ago.

I came back and wrote the e-mail right away.

I wrote two Christmas cards in 30 minutes. It took you 20 years to read them both.

I wasn't sure if I should tell you this.

But you were the type who would lock me up at the hospital.

Isn't it really amazing?

How did my brother find this?

Really?

It's a time machine?

I used two already.

I have 7 left.

Check the CAT Scan for this patient.

Dr. Han! Why haven't you been picking up your phone?

Chief was looking for you. Go see him right now.

Also you didn't sign this. Sign it please.

What's wrong with him?

What's going on?

I want to fulfill my brother's dream first.

This belonged to him. I want to do what he wanted to do first.

What are you talking about?

You have to survive first.

Go back and leave a message to yourself.

Get your brain scanned every year after 30.

That will be an easy fix.

It's easy. But I will have to reveal that I came from the future to convince me.

You think it will be good for me to know that?

I think that will ruin my life.

If I knew that I would get brain tumor at age 37

I would want to know other stuff.

What college I would go to. What I would do for living. If I would get married.

Who my wife is and if I have kids.

If I'm successful. If I'm happy.

Don't you think that I won't be able to live my life well?

So I'm trying to devise a way for me to go to the hospital naturally.

It's not like I'm going to die tomorrow.

It's not impossible for you to die tomorrow.

The chance is just as slim as me dying in a car accident tomorrow.

But I can't grant my brother's wishes if I miss the dates.

I have to deal with them first.

What is his wish?

Saving Father.

Dad?

My father passed away on December 30, 1992.

It's in six days.

So I went to his hospital last night.

I didn't remember the building layout well. I wanted to see it before I went.

I also saw Choi Jin Cheol.

He was nothing back then compared to what he is right now.

The entire country is fussing about him right now.

But it will be easy to get him convicted when he was a nobody.

It's a good idea right?

So I'm thinking about a way to save my father and to get the evidence.

Two birds with one stone.

There was something else my brother wanted.

I thought it was strange. One incense stick would have been enough to save Father.

Why did he die in search for the rest of the sticks?

I wondered why, then I found out last night.

There was something else that he wanted to change.

What is it?

I didn't know this, but he had a girl in 1992.

A girl?

I found it. Floor Record Shop, Kim Yoo Jin.

She was born in 1962.

She owned Floor Record Shop in Chongro in 1992.

She had a daughter named Yoon Shi Ah.

- She had a daughter? - She got married early.

Her husband was a band guitarist.

Kim Yoo Jin used to be the vocal.

They met in a band and they got married.

The husband died in 1984 in a motorcycle accident.

The record shop also belonged to her husband.

A single mom four years older, who used to be a band singer.

Of course my father would be against it.

They had to break up. My brother wanted to change that.

She had a daughter named Yoon Shi Ah.

Are you Shi Ah?

Are you Yoon Shi Ah?

Why are you crying?

Mom died.

Where is she right now?

Hey! Are you okay?

I think she's dead.

Shi Ah! How long has she been like this?

I don't know. I came home from my friend's place.

She was already... she died.

No she's not going to die. I will call the ambulance.

Where is the phone Shi Ah? Can you get me the phone?

[I hope you meet someone good and be happy.]

We washed out her stomach. There won't be a big problem.

I think you will have to deal with her stress first.

Okay.

You just need to sign the papers when the nurse gets here.

She moved to America in 1993.

She worked in a Korean supermarket in L.A. for two years.

Then she moved to Philadelphia and worked in a dry cleaning place.

I couldn't find anything after 1997.

But we're sure that her life wasn't easy in America before that.

Shi Ah.

Do you know why your mom drank?

Mom has a boyfriend.

It's because she can't see him anymore.

This is his number. Call him and tell him that Mom is sick and that she's in the ER.

I can't stay here for long because I don't have much time. So it's your job.

Okay?

Call him. That will make your mom better.

Shi Ah! Come here. Your mom is looking for you.

I left my brother's number. I don't know if they will see each other again.

- What will happen if they see each other again? - I don't know.

He regretted that he left her for the rest of his life. Wouldn't he take her back?

No matter how scary Father was.

Don't you think something must have changed if it worked out with her?

Nothing changed. My memory is the same.

We don't know yet.

It will change when that girl calls my brother.

If it still doesn't work out, then they were not meant to be.

I got to go. Bye.

Don't rub that it! Don't use all the sticks. I want to change my wife.

Stay still and don't fight.

What?

- What are you doing? - I said stay still. Look ahead.

They keep on saying that you're seeing me because I begged you.

They think that you scold at me all the time.

I told them that it's not true, and they came all the way here to see.

That is true. You begged me. I scold you.

It's a Christmas gift.

- What gift? - Make a heart to them. A big one.

- What? - A big-ol heart.

- What? - Just once.

Let's just break up.

You broke my heart for five years and you can't even do that for me?

I can't.

Look at them jeering at me.

Hurry! I told them that you do anything I tell you.

That you've completely fallen for me.

I'm what?

Really.

See?

I told you! You're buying me lunch tomorrow.

He wants to talk to you.

- What? - I'm really disappointed in you.

How could you do that? It's not like she's Kim Tae Hee.

You're going to do that for Joo Min Young?

A heart? Are you serious? That's embarrassing.

Shut up and bug off.

Wow, I'm really an unselfish girl.

You broke my heart for five years and I'm touched with that heart.

There is no other girl like me. I should be on the Guinness World Record.

Hello?

Yes, hi. What's going on?

I thought I heard that you were coming today.

Oh yes, I was really busy the last couple of days. I forgot.

That's what I thought. I was just making sure.

- Is she looking for me? - No.

She doesn't know at all.

I will go next week. Okay, okay.

Oh no.

You didn't go see your mother?

I completely forgot.

- I was just so busy. - Go right now then.

It's already too late. She will go to bed soon.

I'm going to order what I want.

Now that I think about it, it's not the first time I stood Mom up on Christmas Eve.

Huh?

I made you a heart. Can I leave for just a sec?

- Stay here. - Where are you going?

- I think I have to go see Mom. - Right now?

The visiting time is over.

30 minutes is enough. Wait just 30 minutes.

How are you going to get there in 30 minutes?

I will go with you then. I'm not going to the nursery home.

I will be right back.

Mom! I'm downstairs.

Coming right out.

- Hello? - Sun Woo?

- Han Seol Ah? - Yeah, this is Seol Ah.

Hold on.

Hello?

Sorry. What's going on?

- A movie? - Have you seen 'The Bodyguard?'

- No. - My sister gave me two tickets.

It's at 7 at Seoul Cinema. We can watch it if we go now.

You want to go?

You have to go somewhere?

I have to eat dinner with Mom.

With your mom? Just the two of you?

You must be really close with her.

It's not like that. It was a family dinner, but my dad and my brother had to go somewhere.

- I don't think I can... - Okay.

Fine then. I will call Chang Min then.

He said that he was Whitney Houston's fan.

Hold on!

I didn't say that I wasn't going.

- Young Gyu got into an accident? - Yeah.

He got hit when he was riding a bike.

Oh no! What's going to happen then?

That's why my teacher just called.

I have to go as the class president.

Really? Then you have to go.

What about dinner?

I will cancel it.

That's disappointing. I wanted to have a good time with my youngest son.

Where are you going to see him?

In front of the school.

I will be right back then.

Don't come home too late.

Did you wait long?

Yeah. Just a little.

Sorry, I had to get ready.

It's weird to see you outside of school.

- Right? - Really?

I like you better wearing outside clothes.

You're good at flattery.

Let's go in. It's almost time.

Is there a ticket for 'The Bodyguard?'

It just started. Would you like that one?

Yes please.

I thought it was sold out.

Mom!

You!

No!

Please!

- What's wrong? - Nothing.

I'm sorry.

- Oh no. - Oh no.

I'm sorry. It was my fault.

No, it wasn't really your fault.

Didn't you come to watch the movie?

How are you going to watch it without your glasses?

Yeah... I will have to watch it next time.

- I'm really sorry. - It's fine.

Don't worry about it.

It's my fault. I will feel terrible if you just go home.

Here.

Thank you.

You can go if you want to.

I can't do that. I will wait here with you.

Please sit.

Did you come alone to watch the movie?

I was going to have dinner with my family.

But that's hard after my kids have grown up.

They all have places to go.

I see.

Didn't you come to watch the movie?

- I'm sorry. - No.

I didn't go there to watch the movie.

Why did you go there then?

By the way... Have we met?

I don't know. I don't think we have.

You look familiar.

- Do I? - Yeah.

You look familiar.

I don't know.

Why are you laughing?

I don't know. I just feel good.

Maybe it's because it's Christmas.

It's done. Try it on.

It's done.

How does it fit?

- I will get you a taxi. - It's fine! I can get it.

It's alright.

Get in.

Sungbuk-dong please.

How did you know where I lived?

I thought you mentioned it.

Did I?

I get so forgetful.

- Good bye. - Yes, thank you.

It was really nice to meet you today.

What a weird man.

Please stop the car there. I can walk.

[Sorry I couldn't go to dinner with you.]

Mrs. Park. It's bedtime.

I'm turning the TV off.

That really took you only 30 minutes.

Where did you go?

I went to see Mom.

How? It takes you an hour just to get there.

I did get to see her anyway.

Did you video call her?

I talked to her.

She can talk now? She must have gotten better.

Was she happy to see her son?

She was.

You must have been close with your mom. I was never close with my mom.

Why not?

My life had a rough start because of her.

- I'm a bit closer with Dad. - A rough start? How?

My mom gets wild.

She gets emotional.

Did you know that I had to change my name twice because of Mom?

I wasn't Joo Min Young.

My mom heard from a fortune teller that my name was bad luck. She changed it to Min Young.

My name used to be Shi Ah.

Then my last name changed when she got married again.

From Yoon to Joo.

I had a rough start.

What?

What was your real name?

Shi Ah. Yoon Shi Ah.

She had a daughter named Yoon Shi Ah.

- Hello? - Hello?

I'm Yoon Shi Ah.

I was alone from the beginning.

You came alone.

Can I live on like this?

How do you feel? You scared me.

- I had a dream. - What dream?

How would I live if everyday was different?

What is this? A dead person is back alive?

He works in the same hospital.

What are you doing at my room?
