Original subtitles

Character...

His name is Y. J.

He’s a movie star.

He’s pretty tall.

His face...

He’s okay.

His personality...

I knew that would happen.

No matter how hard you try, that’s all that can come out of your brain.

Do you think anyone can write?

I knew you were stupid, but how can you be so stupid about everything?

There’s no way your brain can be classified as human brain.

Your brain belongs to the bird class.

He is smug and arrogant.

His hobby is...

Clean the living room, kitchen, and bathroom by the time I get home.

I have no problem with you going out, but clean every corner of the house first.

His hobby is nagging.

His specialty is

yelling.

Are you stupid? Stupid?

You called that gimbap? Don’t try to bring anything like that!

I’ll kill you if you do.

What else...

Family relationships.

Father, mother, grandmother...

And...

Is this soup or stew?

It can be soup or stew.

It’s can be many things.

-Bring it here. -No!

-Give it to me! -I don’t want to! Hey!

He has a wife with a great personality.

Are you leaving now?

Yes.

When are you coming back?

Are you going to be late? What about dinner?

I won’t know until later.

Hey.

Why are you asking me so many questions?

It’s so annoying.

What do you mean so many questions?

I only asked because I don’t want to end up with uneaten food.

I’ll be back.

Oh, dear, it’s already dark. What time is it?

WATCH

You’re here.

Don’t drink that.

Please give us two hot drinks.

No, I’m hot.

Listen to me.

What if you get sick again?

But what is this?

Ji-eun was playing around.

Now that I’ve seen that, I don’t want to give it back again.

Here.

You had it?

It just happened that way.

It’s because of Ji-eun.

What’s wrong with her?

She’s a really good person.

Sometimes, she’s too simple and silly, but without that,

she wouldn’t be Ji-eun.

Stupid.

You make me dislike her.

You...

You always came running to me

whenever I needed you to worry about me and protect me.

But...

But now that there’s someone else next to you,

you need to go to that person.

But I’m strange, right?

Even when I was in love with Min-hyuk,

I still obsess over you.

Hye-won.

Until you let go of my hand,

I can’t let you go.

I tried.

But I couldn’t.

I can’t let you go

until you let me go.

If you’re going to be late, you should call.

You’re home.

Yes.

Are you having your dinner now?

I was waiting for you.

You should’ve called to let me know you’d be late.

Did you eat?

Yes, I did.

But what is that?

This is bibimbap.

I put all the leftovers like fried anchovies, marinated beef, kimchi,

and mixed it all up with rice.

Hey!

That’s not bibimbap.

That’s dog food.

Dog food?

How can you eat that, Ji-eun?

Try it to see if it’s dog food.

Taste it first before you say things like that.

No, I don’t eat things like that.

Just try one spoon.

Just taste it to see if it’s good or not. Hurry up and try it.

I don’t want to.

Oh, your ring.

You found your ring?

Yes.

I found it.

Where? Where did you find it?

Hye-won had it.

What?

Why did she say she didn’t have it?

She did it deliberately, didn’t she?

She really is something. Who does she think she is?

Hey.

She hides the ring and then she lies? She really is a strange person.

Ji-eun!

What?

Don’t talk about her like that.

She’s my friend.

And I didn’t go to the office today.

I met Hye-won.

What?

You mean you went to see her?

Why did you lie to me about going to the office?

Why did you lie to me?

When you asked me where I was going and who I was meeting,

it just came out that way.

And I don’t want to lie to you.

So, don’t ask me about personal things.

I thought we already decided to respect each other’s privacy.

You’re really funny.

When have I not respected your privacy?

I just don’t want to get stuck eating all these leftovers. It’s annoying.

I don’t care who you meet or where you meet them.

So don’t concern yourself with me.

You can go out with anyone you want.

What?

Ji-eun!

I’m not doing the dishes today.

Hey!

Hui-jin, over here.

Who is it? Is it you?

What are you doing?

What are we doing? You really don’t know?

You secretly met my husband?

What?

Okay, I hope the two of you will be very happy,

Goodbye.

No, that’s not it. Wait. Please open the door!

Yeong-jae, open the door. I’ll be good.

I’m a bird, you’re right,

I don't care if you call me a bird. Just open the door please.

This isn’t how it’s supposed to be!

This is not how it’s supposed to be.

Hey.

What are you doing?

What am I doing? I’m working.

I’ll be back.

Listen.

From now on, you don’t have to tell me when you’re leaving.

I thought we already decided to do that.

What?

Just leave.

-Hey. -Yes, Mother.

How about going to an art gallery?

Is there a good exhibition?

Yes.

There’s a Chagall exhibition.

By the way,

why don’t we call our Three Bears to join us?

Mother.

What?

Don’t call her Three Bears.

I don’t think she’d like it if she knew.

Who cares if she doesn’t like it?

Sometimes, you’re too hard on her.

What? What did you say?

Ji-eun sometimes

reminds me of Yeong-hyun, and I feel so bad for her.

Why do you talk about your dead child?

You better not be saying these things to your husband.

I don't say such things to him.

Hello?

What is the title of this one?

It says it’s the rooster.

Rooster?

Why is it the rooster? Tell me why it is the rooster.

Well...

The rooster belongs to the bird class...

-The bird class. -The bird class?

I think the rooster represents the painter himself.

Look at the rooster holding the brush.

The bird class. Damn it.

Oh my gosh, Mrs. Lee, how are you?

Hello, Professor Kim.

How are you, Mrs. Lee?

I’m fine, how are you?

You’re here to see the paintings?

Yes, we were bored. How is your mother?

She’s fine.

But who is this?

Oh, she’s my granddaughter-in-law.

I see, she's the one who just got married.

Hello, I’m Han Ji-eun, it’s nice meeting you.

How pretty she is. You must be very happy.

Yes, we are happy.

Excuse me but I’ll have to say goodbye.

I hope to see you again.

-Goodbye. -Yes.

Goodbye.

We're happy.

Hello.

Hey!

I found out it was you who scammed Ji-eun and sold her house.

You call yourselves friends?

You sure have some guts, don’t you?

It seems you’ve taken advantage of Ji-eun because she's naive.

If you do something like that again, you’re going to have to deal with me.

People like you need to spend some time in jail.

Hey.

Are you crying?

As you saw,

my wife grew up in a rich family and had never known difficulty

until she got kicked out of her family because of me.

Plus, we have a growing baby in her belly...

Stop crying.

You don’t have the right to cry. Stop crying.

Yeong-jae.

Yeong-jae, please forgive me.

-If something happens to me, -What are you doing?

-our baby and Hui-jin will die. -Let go!

People are watching. Stop pulling down my pants!

Mr. Choi.

The boss is looking for you.

Okay, fine.

Let go of me!

How embarrassing.

You know we’re having the premiere this week, right?

Yes.

I hope everything goes well. I’m nervous.

What are you worried about?

We’ll get what we put in.

You’re going to invite your wife, aren’t you?

Ji-eun.

Ji-eun.

Ji-eun.

Ji-eun.

Ji-eun.

When I used to live by myself, I used to eat whatever was there

or sometimes I wouldn’t eat anything at all.

A person has to eat, you shouldn’t skip meals.

Yes.

Now that I’m not alone, that jerk--

I mean, now with a husband, I cook all the time.

When you live alone,

mealtimes and holidays are the loneliest times, aren’t they?

During the holidays, I used to go to my friend’s house.

Friend’s house?

One of my friends, Dong-uk, lived with his grandmother.

On New Year’s and Thanksgiving,

his grandmother would invite me to their house. So I used to go there.

Well, she deserves our gratitude.

Yes. She passed away.

I couldn’t kill that little idiot because I’m grateful to his grandmother--

Anyway, during the holidays,

the three of us used to eat rice cake soup and play Go-Stop.

Even now it stays in my memories.

Do you know how to play Go-Stop?

Yes, I’m really good at it.

There’s nothing.

Rain, wind, plant, this is how you should put down your cards.

If you don’t have anything to take, put out the rain card.

Rain card?

The card with the man holding the umbrella. This is the rain card.

She says this is the rain card.

Put it down.

-Oh, I have nothing. -Goodness.

Hey.

Did you put that down?

-This is the rain card, right? -Yes.

-There you go. -I shouldn’t have put that down.

-I got it! -You’ve done it! Grandma, you piled it up.

What did I do?

I’m sorry, Mother.

I’ve got the other one right here.

-It’s right here. -He's the winner.

-Everyone, give me a card. -Everyone, give him a card.

You can never tell with this game.

I’ve got it.

Oh, Grandma, you’re under the average score.

-You’ve got to pay up 1,000 won. -Mother, you don't have enough cards.

-1,000 won, Mother. -Did I avoid it?

That’s right, let’s not quarrel anymore over each other’s private lives.

You must be tired from spending the whole day with Grandmother.

Oh, not at all. It was fun for me, too.

I didn’t even realize the time passing.

Ji-eun, since it’s already so late, do you want to spend the night?

Excuse me?

That’s right. Go tomorrow.

Just call Yeong-jae and tell him you’re staying over and go tomorrow.

-He missed the ball. -Center fielder should have caught it.

He missed it and at that time...

An award for good conduct?

Good conduct with that personality? What a nice school.

He used to play with things like this?

So childish.

Hello?

Ji-eun, do you know what time it is?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Why are you yelling?

I’m in your room.

What?

My room?

Are you joking with me?

But why did you put up so many awards on the wall? It’s so tacky.

Is there anyone who hasn’t received these kinds of awards?

What?

Awards?

Hey, are you at my house?

What are you doing there?

We studied paintings today.

In the morning, we saw Western paintings. And in the evening, Eastern paintings.

Wow, there are a lot of paper cranes in this jar.

Did you make them all?

Why would I make those?

Hye-won made them for me when I graduated from junior high school.

Oh, I see.

There’s a picture here, too.

Where was this taken?

You’ve got tacky shorts on with red suspenders.

And what’s wrong with your hair?

I see.

It’s a picture I took on an elementary school picnic.

Suspenders were in style back then.

And I’m sure your hair looked worse.

Whatever.

There’s another picture.

It looks like a girl,

but her hair is all shaved off.

Yes.

That...

That must be Yeong-hyun.

It’s my sister Lee Yeong-hyun.

You have a sister, Yeong-jae?

Not anymore.

She's gone now.

She had a terminal disease.

She had...

to take eight shots a day.

But she never cried.

My father used to say...

that if she cried, she wouldn’t get better.

So she never cried.

She didn’t cry once,

but still she didn’t get better.

Why did my father say that?

He couldn’t even keep his promise.

Why would he tell her not to cry?

It would’ve been okay if she had cried.

She was only a child.

He couldn’t even keep his promise.

I’m sure

your father cried in his heart.

I’m sure

my father has never cried in his life.

There were other crybabies.

Hye-won

was always crying.

She said my grandmother was scary,

crickets were scary,

even the shadows of trees were scary.

So do you know what a nine-year-old boy

trying to protect a crying nine-year-old girl

needed the most?

Ice cream.

Hey, Ji-eun, are you sleeping? You’re sleeping, aren’t you?

No, I’m not sleeping.

Then why aren’t you saying anything?

What is there to say?

Ji-eun.

Do you want me to pick you up?

What?

No, it’s just that you’ve got to cook and do the laundry.

What am I going to eat for breakfast?

Can you stop talking about cooking?

Is that the only thing you have to say to me?

You really must think I’m a rice cooker. Really! I’m hanging up!

Hey.

It’s about a man

who liked a girl for a long time

But the girl

decides to leave.

So the man decides

to propose to her before she leaves.

I don’t want you to go.

Can’t you just stay with me?

Damn.

Are you throwing this away?

Throw it away.

What a waste. Why throw it away?

Tell me.

If you like me, say that to me right now.

I like you very much.

Ji-eun.

I’m home.

Jeez, you tell me it’s dog food. You did real good.

It’s bibimbap.

Be gentle, it hurts.

You have to do it hard to make it go down.

And why are your arms so long?

But what did you do at my house?

Did Grandma tell you to come over?

Why do you want to know?

We decided to not care about each other.

Well, I thought about it,

and I think we should at least know of each other’s whereabouts.

I don’t think that’s getting too private.

I don’t want to tell you.

Why are you going back and forth? Let’s just live our own lives.

No, it’s up to me!

From now on, we’ll change the rules again.

You’ve got to tell me where you’re going every time.

It hurts!

Hey, Ji-eun, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?

It was on purpose!

Here, take a look at this.

A SCHEDULE OF SPACE USAGE LEE YEONG-JAE, HAN JI-EUN

What is it?

It’s a schedule of space usage.

What? A schedule of space usage?

Since our relationship is based on a contract

and we don’t have any personal relations,

I think it would be good if we drew boundaries.

What are you talking about?

What I’m trying to say is that

we should try not to get in each other’s way and respect privacy.

That’s what you wanted, too, wasn’t it?

Well, that's true.

Of course. I wanted that from a long time ago.

I told you not to come out of your room, but you’re always coming out.

You’re here and there, always babbling about something.

You’ve been so annoying, I thought I was going to die.

That’s what I mean. Things like that won’t ever happen again.

From 10 p.m. until the next morning, I’ll be using the living room to work.

During the day, when you’re out, I’ll come out and do all the housework.

Your meals will be ready at the appropriate times,

so just come out and eat.

If you should have something to say to me, please leave a note on the refrigerator.

All the details are on this schedule, so if you would please just follow it.

We won’t have to get in each other’s way.

Then, until we meet again, take care of yourself.

Hey, Ji-eun.

"Until we meet again, take care of yourself?"

Ji-eun! Come out here for a minute!

Hey, come out.

If you have something to say, leave it on the fridge.

Hey! Ji-eun.

Let’s have a talk. Ji-eun!

What?

Let’s just have a talk.

Then put it on the fridge.

Hey! Let’s talk. Come out!

You chicken head, let’s talk--

What do you want to say? Talk!

What? I mean...

The house is a total mess.

Come out and clean!

So tell me where it’s such a mess. Write it on the refrigerator and later--

Later, when?

You know I can’t stand messes.

I can’t live by your schedule, so come out now and clean!

Hey, clean over there, too.

Clean it well, you can’t even do that.

Ji-eun?

Hey, Ji-eun!

You know it’s my premiere tomorrow, right?

Be at the Jaein Cinema by 3 p.m.

Why aren’t you responding?

I can’t go.

Why not?

I’ll write the reason and leave it on the refrigerator.

Hey!

Don’t mention that refrigerator again!

What is wrong with her? She's been like that all day.

Did she eat something wrong?

She’s driving me crazy.

Hey, if you work at night, it wastes too much electricity.

From now on, work during the day.

Okay?

Excuse me, we’ve already decided that I would use this area at night.

Would you please go away?

No, it’s up to me.

Do you get ideas from sitting there?

You need talent to be a writer.

One part of my heart feels bad for you when I watch a stupid girl like you

trying to squeeze something out of that head of yours.

That’s why you shouldn’t try to do much with that head of yours.

Just go to sleep.

You’ve got to get up early to make breakfast.

Don’t suffer, just go in and sleep.

If you were born a chicken, live like a chicken.

Wow, the chicken is really patient tonight.

It’s about time for you to lose your temper.

What happened?

Oh, that?

I turned it off.

If you’re not using it, you should turn it off.

It’s a waste of electricity.

Did you save what I was writing before you turned it off?

Save?

Oh, save!

How do you do that?

Can’t you just turn it off?

What am I going to do?

I think I lost it all.

What am I going to do?

Oh, goodness.

Did you lose it all?

You mean it’s all gone? What can we do?

Are you laughing? What kind of person are you?

Is making me miserable your hobby?

Does it make you happy to see me miserable?

Happy? I wouldn’t go as far as happy.

But honestly, it’s fun.

What? It's fun?

You are truly an idiot, psycho, pervert,

and the worst human being I’ve ever known.

You’re pushing it again.

I hate you more than anything else in this world.

You’re worse than mosquitoes, fungus, and cockroaches. You jerk!

I can’t listen to this anymore. Here it is.

I saved it. Do you think I’m as stupid as you?

That’s why people need to talk,

how can we talk to a refrigerator?

I was just playing with you, what’s wrong?

Ji-eun, do you want ice cream?

Ice cream?

There’s ice cream in the refrigerator, right?

More than anything in this world, I hate ice cream!

I'll never eat ice cream!

Never again!

I’m never eating ice cream again!

Daddy bear is fat

Mommy bear is slim

And the baby bear is so cute

They are so good together

One more time.

Four bears lived in one house

Grandma bear, daddy bear Mommy bear, and baby bear

Grandma bear is scary

Daddy bear is fat

Mommy bear is slim

And the baby bear is so cute

They are so good...

Oh, my little chicken.

After throwing a tantrum, your face is all swollen.

Don’t be late to the premiere.

I can get in for free, right?

Nothing’s for free.

You must pay to watch it.

There’s not even a discount?

Do you think it’s some kind of department store? There’s no sale.

See you.

Hello.

Mr. Yoo is in a meeting.

He’s not sure when it would end.

He asked to leave your script here and he’d see you later at the premiere.

Okay, here you go.

-Okay. -Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Ji-eun.

Yes?

Oh, hello.

If they’ve been friends since they were nine years old,

what other memories besides ice cream would they have shared?

Excuse me?

I hope they don’t have shared the bike and Magic Land.

Did Yeong-jae by any chance teach Hye-won to ride the bike?

I taught Hye-won to ride the bike.

Really?

That’s a relief.

What’s a relief?

Oh, it’s nothing.

What a crazy driver! Are you okay?

Yes, I’m fine.

THE SAD SONG

It's this way.

Mr. Yoo.

Excuse me please, Ji-eun.

Sure.

Hey Ji-eun.

You guys are here, too?

Of course, I’m an employee.

Big brother Yeong-jae asked me to give this to you.

Big brother what?

Right. I decided to call him my big brother.

We thought about it and if we want to start a management company,

it wouldn’t hurt to learn the industry from the bottom.

I might as well do my best since I’m already here.

That way, I can hurry up and repay you.

Well, if you’ve really changed, then I feel much better.

Please get it together and work hard.

You should think about the baby.

That’s what we plan to do.

Dong-uk!

What are you doing there? I told you to get to the lobby.

Yes, sir.

I better go. Nothing happens without me.

Honey, work hard.

Work hard.

Who is that person?

He’s tall and handsome and looks sophisticated.

-Who are you talking about? -That person.

That's Yoo Min-hyuk. We work together.

Hey, he looks like he’s interested in you.

He seems Interested?

He keeps smiling at you.

He’s always smiling.

Hey, don’t be like that. Why don’t you go for him?

-He looks rich, too. -What?

You’re going to be divorced soon anyway. You might as well be prepared.

Hey! Be quiet!

Hey! I told you to be careful, didn’t I?

If it gets out, I’m going to lose Full House and you and Dong-uk--

I’m sorry,

it just came out, but it’s okay. No one heard it.

Still, you’ve got to be careful.

Okay, I’m sorry.

Oh, my goodness!

But think about Min-hyuk one more time.

I really think he’s interested in you. It’ll be a waste if you lose the chance.

Hey, be quiet. I told you to stop with the nonsense.

It’s all for you, so listen to me.

I’ll support you all the way.

What?

It’s because I’m sorry about you having a contract marriage with Yeong-jae.

It was because of Dong-uk.

It’s okay, just live your own life.

Jeez!

Here comes the wench again.

What? A wench?

What? Oh, it’s nothing.

Hui-jin, why don’t you go on in first?

Excuse me, hello.

Oh, hello.

I was wondering if we could talk.

What is it you wanted to talk about?

It’s about the ring, why did you hide it?

Why did you say you didn’t have it?

I didn’t hide it.

I just didn’t have a chance to tell him.

Anyways,

the ring isn’t very important to Yeong-jae.

What did you say?

Fine,

think however you want to.

If you don't even like him, why are you making it so hard for him?

I’m making it hard on Yeong-jae?

You keep calling him, asking him out. Is he someone to kill time with?

I heard you were in love with someone else.

Why don’t you call him?

Why do you have to bother Yeong-jae? You don’t even like him.

Please just let him go.

No, I won’t let him go.

I think you’re being too selfish.

Shall we make a bet?

Shall we see who will be able to get Yeong-jae’s heart first?

Are the Chinese viewers passionate?

Hey, Yeong-jae.

Hye-won.

You forgot to take this.

Thanks.

What do you have to do after the premiere?

I'm not sure.

I don't have much else.

Really?

Then will you go somewhere with me?

Where?

That’s a secret.

Well...

Ji-eun is supposed to be here.

Can we take her, too?

Well...

No, we can’t.

Hye-won.

I hope you will enjoy the movie today.

Thank you for sparing your precious time to be here.

Hello, I’m Lee Yeong-jae.

We really worked hard in making this film.

I really hope you enjoy it and are touched by this film.

Thank you.

I...

I’m not confident...

Hey.

Where is Ji-eun? Didn’t she come?

She was here.

I don’t see her now.

Try calling her.

Okay.

The person you are calling is not available to take your call...

She’s not answering.

Yeong-jae.

Let’s go.

Okay.

Hye-won, did you bring your car?

I brought it, but let’s take your car.

Sure.

We'll get going. You may go now.

Hey, Ji-eun,

I heard you were here a while ago, where have you been?

I had to meet someone.

Who?

Who did you meet?

If I tell you, will you know who it is?

I just met someone, just someone.

Did you watch the movie?

Jeez, what’s wrong with you?

Then why did you come?

It just happened, I’m sorry.

Anyway, the people who did watch are saying it wasn’t very good.

It wasn’t good?

Who said that?

Everyone said that.

If you’re finished, let’s go home.

But...

Hye-won and I have somewhere to go.

I’ll have someone take you home.

Where are you going?

-Yeong-jae. -Yes.

I’ll see you later at home, Ji-eun.

Hey, Yeong-jae.

What?

Don’t go.

What?

If...

If you leave like this.

You’re not getting any food.

Jeez.

You go ahead and eat.

I’m going to have dinner out, so don’t wait for me to have dinner.

Dong-uk?

It’s me.

Ji-eun’s in the parking lot,

so pick her up and have dinner with her.

Drive her home, too.

That’s right. Okay.

Where are we going?

Wow, it’s been a while since I felt like this.

I thought you would become a doctor like your father.

I had no idea you would become a famous movie star.

It's so neat.

Do you remember?

What?

It was when we were in the third grade.

You gave me a kiss on the cheek

for my birthday while we were sitting here.

What?

I don’t really remember.

What do you mean you don’t remember?

You kissed me on the cheek, so I started crying and you said,

“Hye-won, I’m sorry. I’ll buy you ice cream.”

Didn’t you do that?

-Hey Yeong-jae, look over there. -What?

Do you want me to buy you ice cream?

Hye-won!

Hey, stop.

Yeong-jae.

Do you know what my dream was when I was in elementary school?

It was to become a designer like your mother.

I just wrote that for our homework.

The truth is...

I wanted to be a wise mother and a good wife.

What?

So,

I used to write a secret list

of who I would marry when I grew up.

I was a funny child, wasn’t I?

Yeong-jae.

You know what.

I got sillier.

I pretended to be someone strong

and said all kinds of things I shouldn’t have.

I know I shouldn’t call you every day.

And bother you with my problems.

But I don’t think

I’d be able to survive

if I lost you, too.

What’s wrong?

Did something happen?

What’s wrong? Did something happen?

Where did you two go?

What?

Well.

We went to our old school.

It was so strange.

Or maybe it’s because I’m all grown up now.

But...

Are you sure there’s nothing wrong?

Are you okay?

Didn’t I tell you never to mention ice cream?

I told you I hated it and that I would never eat it again.

it makes me sick, I’m so annoyed!

You scared me! Why are you yelling?

You startled me.

From now on, buy me roses.

I hate ice cream. I like flowers.

But roses are expensive.

Nevertheless, buy me roses from now on. Only roses.

Don’t laugh.

It’s up to me, why can’t I laugh?

If you laugh,

you get attached.

Yeong-jae.

Protecting someone

means liking that person, right?

You protect Hye-won.

And...

I’ll protect you.

What?

I think...

I am...

starting to like you.

Why don’t you like me?

You aren’t a narcissist, are you?

Ji-eun, will you take interest in me?
