Original subtitles

By any chance,

were you ever in a car accident?

Yes.

Fifteen years ago.

But I don't remember how it happened

or how horribly painful it was.

I don't remember a thing.

But I guess that's a good thing.

I'm sorry about earlier.

About the swimsuit. I had it all wrong.

It's totally understandable.

You were worried about me.

I was.

Still…

I'm going to compete

and

win a medal

no matter what.

But don't worry.

I'll make sure your dream doesn't come true.

Trust me.

The 200 m freestyle finals for the high school division will begin.

- Ryu Sun-jae! - Ryu Sun-jae!

- Ryu Sun-jae! - Ryu Sun-jae!

You're going to do great!

Let's go!

- Let's go! - You're so cool!

- Ryu Sun-jae! - Ryu Sun-jae, the mako shark!

They're about to start. Everyone quiet!

YOU'RE PERFECT, SUN-JAE MAKO SHARK RYU SUN-JAE

RYU SUN-JAE, JAGAM HIGH: SECOND PLACE

It was my first swim meet after my shoulder surgery.

That ended up being my final competition.

I was full of regret, wondering if I had pushed myself too hard.

But I've come to think that it all happened

so I could be a singer.

Is fate really predetermined?

Or can we go against it and change the future?

He had a hard time because of rumors and trolls.

RYU SUN-JAE OF ECLIPSE DIES

Even if that is the case,

I want to believe in you.

Ryu Sun-jae!

- Sun-jae! - Ten more meters to go!

Ryu Sun-jae!

RYU SUN-JAE, JAGAM HIGH: FIRST PLACE

NO PHOTOS

YOU'RE PERFECT, SUN-JAE

Good job, Sun-jae!

You look amazing!

THE NIGHT BEFORE

Thanks for this.

This is where I live.

It's right across from you.

Crazy how we've never run into each other, isn't it?

Good night.

Okay, sleep well.

See you at the meet tomorrow.

Okay.

You little…

Hey.

She's been chasing after Kim Tae-sung.

Are you okay with that?

She chases after me these days.

She said she was a fan.

Hey,

having romantic feelings is different from being a fan.

Right?

It's not like they're going out.

All right, tough guy.

Have you ever asked anyone out?

You think you can do it?

Jeez.

My dad always said

when I took my first steps, I looked like a groom.

Because I walked so well.

So?

I'm good at everything.

When I win gold tomorrow,

I'm going to tell her how I feel.

You think that's so easy to do?

Anyway,

just make sure to read the room.

Asking someone out

is all about timing.

Timing.

Timing!

LANE 4 RYU SUN-JAE JAGAM HIGH SCHOOL FIRST PLACE

Good job, Sun-jae!

When I win gold tomorrow,

I'm going to tell her how I feel.

It should be around here somewhere.

By the way,

your dad was here to cheer you on too.

Are you sure it's okay to leave?

Yeah.

How's your shoulder? Is it okay?

Yeah.

Why is he in a bad mood?

Where are we going though?

Yeah.

Right.

Didn't I tell you?

Let's grab a bite.

Oh, he was hangry.

Sure, let's eat.

I'm hungry too. What do you want to get?

Let's just walk

until we find a place that looks good.

Where is it?

What should we eat to get his energy up?

Hey!

- Should we go here? - Let's go there!

Wait…

But I looked this place up.

All that trouble for nothing.

You should get your energy up after a competition.

You like hot soups, right?

It's here.

Don't burn yourself.

I'm such a successful stan.

What?

Here I am, eating with you.

A successful stan.

What's a stan?

Oh,

it's like a fan.

Remember I said I was your fan?

A fan of your swimming.

Swimming.

Having romantic feelings and being a fan is not the same.

About Kim Tae-sung, the bassist in the band.

Yeah. What about him?

Are you his fan?

Or do you like him?

What? That was ages ago.

Not at all.

Not at all?

No.

Why do you ask?

You were with him yesterday.

I was just curious.

Just eat.

Thanks for lunch.

I wanted to be the one to treat you though.

In that case,

you can pay next time.

Okay!

I'll buy you something even tastier next time.

Asking someone out

is all about timing.

What a pretty path.

Why did you want to see me alone though?

Is this it?

I just wanted to apologize for the misunderstanding.

Don't worry about it.

I'm fine with anything you do.

This is it.

Also,

I wanted to say

I like…

I mean, I like…

Do you have 500 won?

- Like hundred? - What?

- What? - 500 won.

500 hundred won?

Here. 500 won.

Thanks!

Why do you need it?

To take photos!

Isn't that for passport photos?

Come on, let's do it.

Please?

I was always so jealous of fans who took selfies with you

at your meet-and-greets.

Together?

Yes.

I don't really like taking photos.

Oh, I see.

- That's too-- - The sun!

Goodness.

It's so hot.

I could use some shade.

Come on.

Wait!

The path is this way…

Sun-jae!

CHOOSE TYPE OF PHOTO

YOU HAVE CHOSEN PASSPORT PHOTOS

- Taking your photograph. - There! Get ready.

- Look at the camera. - One.

- Two. - Where?

- Three. - There?

No.

Look here.

- Here? - Yes.

One, two.

- Smile a little. - Three.

That's not the natural model I know.

Then, try this at least.

What's that?

A lump?

What? A lump?

It's a heart!

So…

you expect me to act cute?

No way.

- Taking your photograph. - Hey, get ready.

Just do it!

One, two, three.

Happy?

Is it time?

You know…

This is it.

I need to tell you something.

Okay.

You know…

- I like-- - Your photos are ready.

They're done! Hold on.

So cute!

It came out great.

Where should I put it up?

So did you tell her?

Not even close.

All right.

Right now isn't too bad either.

- Hey. - Don't say a word.

What?

This is bad.

There must be an accident up ahead.

There's usually no traffic here.

What?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I can't tell him I have to go to the bathroom.

Mom, I have to pee.

Oh no.

Can't you hold it until the rest stop?

I can't.

Do I have to ask the driver to stop for a minute?

Yes, please.

Please ask him for me. Please.

You really can't hold it?

Say you have to go badly.

Mom, I have to go badly.

I think I'm gonna pee in my pants.

Hang on.

Please.

Here.

Go in here.

I'll cover you up.

Driver!

Please stop the bus!

Here?

What's the matter?

I just have

some urgent business to take care of.

What?

You should've gone at the rest stop earlier.

Please, sir.

JEONJU TO SEOUL

Thank you.

Take this with you.

Thank you.

Go ahead.

I'll just go that way and get some fresh air.

That way looks dangerous.

You go this way.

What?

Hurry up.

I'll keep watch from here.

Keep watch?

This is so humiliating!

This is

probably not the time.

Nope.

GEUM VIDEO AND DVD

VIDEO AND DVD RETURNS

We'll try to unclog it first, then hire someone later.

Is there a rat in the neighborhood?

What was that?

VIDEO AND DVD RETURNS

I knew it was him.

Unbelievable.

We're here.

Great job today, Sun-jae.

Congratulations on winning gold.

Isn't it summer?

Sol.

Thanks for coming today.

I'd follow you to the other side of the world if I had to.

Actually…

even if you were in another time,

I'd travel across time to see you.

I'm your fan, remember?

How long will you stay a fan?

I don't want

you to be my fan anymore.

Why not?

What am I going to do?

Because…

I have to stay by your side.

- I like-- - Should we be friends instead?

Let's be friends.

What was that? I thought you were good at everything.

When you didn't reply,

I figured you didn't tell her,

so I thought I'd help and set the mood for you.

You don't want her to be your fan?

Is that the best you could come up with?

That was so bad.

I could cry right now.

Who told you

you could spy on me?

She hasn't turned you down yet.

She hasn't?

Come on.

How could she?

You didn't even ask her out.

You're right.

Even if you were in another time,

I'd travel across time

to see you.

JAGAM HIGH SCHOOL

He's going to do it.

That's crazy.

He's gonna break it.

Sun-jae!

Sun-jae!

JAGAM HIGH SCHOOL

Where's Sun-jae?

Enjoying the view, Granny?

What?

I didn't know this was your hobby.

I thought you came to see me.

Shouldn't you be in class right now?

Stop cutting class and go back inside.

Let me tell you something as someone who's lived longer.

Some people can't go to school even if they wanted to.

So work hard at school when you can.

When things don't work out later,

don't regret it, thinking, "I should've studied harder then."

You couldn't even look at me when you asked me out.

And by the way, this isn't going to work either.

You're not my type.

Sure, thanks.

I'm so relieved that I'm not your type.

Let me make this clear right now.

I retract what I said about liking you.

I must've been out of my mind.

Sure.

I reject your retraction.

It's not like you're going to like me back.

I hate it when people take things back.

Oh my goodness.

Tae-sung, why aren't you taking my calls?

Granny, how do you shake off someone annoying?

I need your advice.

Like this.

- What's that? - Just don't interact with them!

What did I ever see in him?

Are you here to see Sun-jae again?

Yes. Where is he?

I didn't see him in training.

Well, the thing is…

Sun-jae was

taken to the hospital this morning.

What?

Your rotator cuff that we operated on tore again.

It's not looking good,

so you need another surgery as soon as possible.

Another surgery?

There will be some side effects after the surgery,

but since it's your left arm,

you'll have no trouble in everyday life.

Just everyday life?

What about his career as an athlete?

Like I said before,

with another surgery,

it'll take at least two or three years to rehabilitate.

Even then, that rotator cuff will only be at 80%.

That being said,

getting back to 100%

is most likely impossible.

He went to the hospital in the morning.

Where is he?

RYU GEUN-DEOK'S GALBI

DAD

Here's our star!

Give it up for Sun-jae!

Congratulations!

Sun-jae, this is for you.

You should give it to him.

Your aunt…

Sun-jae, congratulations.

- Thank you. - My son

couldn't compete because of physical therapy,

but as soon as he returned,

he won a gold medal!

PRESIDENTIAL SWIM COMPETITION GOLD MEDALIST

He even set a record!

Everyone was cheering like crazy.

- Everybody clap! - Let's clap!

It's too late for the Beijing Olympics. Where's the next one?

- London! - That's right.

When he goes to London in four years,

he's going to sweep the gold medals.

So get your autographs in advance, and take photos too.

Get in line!

Your aunt first.

Me, me!

Okay, next.

Ladies first.

- Ryu Sun-jae! - Ryu Sun-jae!

For Sun-jae!

He'll win all the gold medals.

Come sit for a second.

Let's talk after everyone leaves.

I can't wait until then.

I have great news.

Don't be too surprised.

You're going to Australia during your break.

What?

You know Coach Michael?

He gave lessons to the national swim team.

You'll get lessons from him.

You should be training overseas

like other famous athletes

and get private lessons too.

Cancel it.

Why?

Is it because of money?

Don't worry about that.

You're my only child.

Where would I spend all the money I saved

if not on you?

I'm doing this all for you…

Yes, so don't.

Just cancel it.

What are you talking about?

I already paid for your lesson fees

and a business class ticket for your flight.

You can't decide these things without asking me!

Well,

I thought you'd be excited about it.

I'm…

going to quit swimming.

What?

I'm quitting swimming.

So…

cancel everything.

Wait, Sun-jae.

Sun-jae!

RYU GEUN-DEOK'S GALBI

I've been here on a Sun-jae fan tour.

It looked the same back then.

Sun-jae!

What do you mean you're quitting swimming?

How can you look so serious making a joke like that?

It's not a joke.

I won't swim anymore.

What's gotten into you?

- Are you in your right mind? - Yes.

If you're in the right mind, how can you say that?

I know all that physical therapy

and training to compete was tough.

This is your way of saying you need a break, right?

- No. - Then why?

Just why do you want to quit?

Is this some sort of new rebellious phase?

I'm just sick of it!

What?

You're sick of it?

Yes!

I'm tired of training,

and I'm tired of all the constant physical therapy.

I'm sick and tired of swimming.

Since I've set a record this time,

it won't be embarrassing to quit.

No, you're not quitting.

This is an important chance.

You can't quit over a stupid reason like that.

It's my life. Don't I get to make my own calls?

All you've done is swim for the past ten years.

What else can you do?

I'll figure it out.

If nothing else,

I can at least work at your restaurant…

Why, you little…

Don't be ridiculous.

If you're going to talk about quitting swimming again,

don't even think about coming back home.

Got that?

Wait…

Sun-jae.

REPETITION LEADS TO GENIUS FAITH LEADS TO MIRACLES

Extend your arms.

Reach forward about 10 cm.

Engage your core.

TRAINING INTENSITY CHART

Good.

Eight.

YOU CAN BEAT 1 MINUTE 49 SECONDS

Fate didn't change.

As if to mock

my earnest wishes and all your efforts,

the same thing happened again.

CAR ACCIDENT

CAR ACCIDENT

I can't stop my accident or save Sun-jae?

How is that fair?

If I can't change anything…

why am I even here?

Hasn't he told you?

The umbrella girl?

Hi.

Oh.

You look better on screen.

What?

Come to think of it, it's all his fault.

Your fans made stuff up,

trolled Sun-jae and spread rumors,

and even sent him poison.

If it weren't for your fans,

Sun-jae would never have been depressed.

You look menacing.

Forget it.

What would the current you know?

Was Sun-jae at your place last night?

- How'd you know? - How is he?

Is he having a hard time?

I have no idea what he's really thinking.

He doesn't talk.

Be good to him if you don't want to regret it later.

Keep an eye on how he's doing.

And you keep an eye behind you.

Why?

Hey!

You're bleeding!

I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

SO BANG-GWAN

I know this scene.

Hey, are you okay?

I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

SO BANG-GWAN

What? There's a fire at home?

Wait.

Hey!

Are you okay?

I'm starving. This is going to be good.

- Hello? - Did you clean the building?

Yes. I cleaned the stairs and all the windows too.

I even scraped off all the gum.

Great, go to unit 202 and unclog their toilet.

They keep asking me to call a plumber, but you know it's not worth it.

Why isn't she answering?

Mom!

I know I have a lot to answer for,

but unclogging someone else's toilet?

It's my building. You unclog it if I say so.

And if the dish towels have been boiled

turn off the stove and pour cold water on them.

Mom!

Seriously?

Why's she making me do this?

This is so gross!

Why isn't anyone picking up?

Going out, Granny?

I'm glad you showed up. I need a ride.

I wish I could,

but I'm really busy. Sorry.

My house is on fire. Please.

Really?

Call the fire department.

You don't know 911's number?

Here, write it down.

9, 1, 1.

I'm not entirely sure the fire has started.

I have to stop it this time.

I need to stop it.

Hey.

Isn't that Im Sol?

Im Sol!

Im Sol!

Im Sol!

Jeez.

Where'd she go this time?

We have to sign up for the study room.

You skipped study hall. Where are you?

I gave it everything I've got.

When did you get here?

You stink.

Did you poop in your pants?

What are you talking about? I'm a grown man.

Can't you see this?

That's so gross. Take a shower.

You're the worst!

Why do you always look at me

like I'm a bug or something?

I'd like to hear the reason.

Remember when you got drunk and threw up on my shoes?

It was traumatic.

I washed them clean, didn't I?

Are you still upset about that?

There are five types of humans that I despise.

One, dirty people.

Two, lazy people.

Three, immature people.

Four, people with unrealistic dreams.

Five, people who are all of the above. And that's you!

Unrealistic dreams?

What do you know about my dreams?

I know you paid for acting classes with your college tuition.

How did you know that?

My math academy was next to it.

By the way, your acting isn't any…

You were the mole?

Darn it.

I smell something burning.

I'm burning up inside!

Is this what I get for being nice to my sister's friend?

It's a fire!

Hyeon-ju!

- Move! - Hyeon-ju!

Watch it.

Move.

Hey, Hyeon-ju!

Come on, breathe!

Move out of the way.

Jeez, what am I going to do?

Oh, whatever!

What are you doing?

My tooth!

I stopped it.

What happened here?

Oh no. There was a fire?

What happened?

Mom.

Are you guys okay?

Are you okay?

Thanks so much for today.

You helped me change fate.

I don't know anything about fate.

Anyway, I'll treat you to something nice soon.

Is this your way of asking me out?

Nice try.

Forget it then.

Bye.

What?

Over there.

Next to your nose.

Where?

- Right here. - Here?

Over here.

Did I get it?

Yeah, all clean.

You look pretty.

You're such a flirt.

Telling anyone that.

You skipped school.

This is where you've been?

Dad.

Why did you hide something so important from me?

You think I would've yelled at you or scolded you

if you said you needed another surgery because of your injury?

You idiot.

You think you're all grown up because you're a head taller than me?

You should've told me that you were in pain!

Why make me a bad father?

I'm sorry.

I can't believe I invited everyone over and caused all that fuss.

I heard your shoulder would be hurting a lot right now.

Is that true?

Then you should've gotten it treated!

What if you can't use your arm again?

I made an appointment on Monday.

Set a date for surgery.

We'll fix your shoulder so it won't hurt.

And then you can decide

whether to go through physical therapy or quit.

I'm sorry.

Don't say that. I know it pains you the most.

Let me see you.

There's no bruising, at least.

I mean,

you're not that strong anymore.

I barely felt it.

That's because I didn't use a snap of my arm

when I slapped you.

If I had, you'd have been in the hospital

for at least eight weeks.

Let me pour you one.

By the way, I returned the video.

If you want to watch something,

watch it on DVD out in the open.

Don't secretly rent a video.

The late fee was 15,000 won.

It's not like that.

That crazy lady

could produce a movie

with all the late fees she collected.

- I really didn't watch it. - Yeah, right.

HOOSEON UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER

The surgery went well.

But over 90% of your rotator cuff was torn.

The damage to your labrum was severe too.

What does that mean, Doctor?

It means his shoulder is completely destroyed.

I know it's hard,

but as a doctor,

I can't guarantee that he'll be an athlete again.

I'm sorry.

Why are you crying when I'm not?

No way.

- Thanks for this. - Thanks.

Thank you.

Your fan dropped them off.

This is good.

ONE WEEK LATER

Good morning!

Who…

Right!

Sun-jae's fan!

Everyone really enjoyed

those cupcakes you made.

But what brings you here?

I live right across the street.

Is Sun-jae home now?

I didn't know we were neighbors.

Yes, Sun-jae is back home. You want me to get him?

No, he should rest.

I just came over to give you this.

My grandma cooked some chicken.

Goodness.

You should share it with Sun-jae.

I don't know if I can accept this.

Of course you can.

I cooked three.

Why is there only one?

Hope you like it.

Okay, tell your grandmother

that I appreciate this.

Actually, wait right here.

Here, it's omija punch. I made it myself.

Drink it cold on a hot summer day,

and it'll send shivers down your back.

It's just awesome!

Okay. Thank you.

This omija punch is so nice and refreshing!

Is it just me, or is it getting hot?

Wait a minute.

I finished most of it?

Gosh, it's so hot.

That's better.

JAGAM HIGH SCHOOL

That hurts.

You again?

Me again.

Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

Have you been drinking?

No.

You smell like alcohol.

What are you talking about?

Your face is red too.

I just had some omija punch your dad made.

Is that why I'm feeling a little hot?

The one that my dad made?

Yeah.

Hey, that's alcohol!

What?

But it didn't taste like alcohol.

So many bottles of alcohol went in that.

- Are you okay? - Sure.

This is nothing.

- Hey. - I'm fine.

Sure.

You're drunk.

Come here.

Sun-jae.

Yeah?

I know you've been pretty down in the dumps lately…

But you look full.

What?

Wonder-full.

You're a weird kind of drunk.

Your fame was nothing but a bubble.

- Don't say it. - Unbelie-bubble.

I said, don't say it.

Why do you hate it so much?

- You've got that zing. - No, I swear…

Ama-zing!

That's so lame.

Stop it.

These used to make him laugh.

But they're not working.

Do you want to listen to some music?

Here.

It's the song he used to sing for his fans often.

On a night

Where lots of friends are gathered

Whenever you weren't

Where you always were

Whenever I felt your scent

That I always liked

I'd turn around to look for you

And wonder if it was you

Whenever I happened to

Walk by your neighborhood

I'm glad…

that I still have a good shoulder.

I guess it's true

I must have liked you

Every single day

I think about you

To tell you I miss you

And that I'm okay

Wish I could be brave and call you

But I just can't

Like a fool

My number one treasure.

Let's go. It's late.

He even talks.

He looks just like in the commercials.

He moves too.

Yes, very funny.

I like you.

I said…

I like you.

Please keep smiling like this.

I'll be

by your side.

So you're not lonely when life gets hard.

So you won't get any scary thoughts.

I'll stay by your side forever.

So live a long life.

My head.

I remember listening to music together.

But I drank so much that I don't remember anything after that.

Oh no.

I wasn't a bad drunk, was I?

Goodness.

My number one treasure.

Not again.

- Let's go. It's late. - What?

When was this recorded?

He even talks.

- I must've been insane. - He looks just like in the commercials.

He moves too.

Hey, Tae-sung.

The girls said they saw you with a girl.

Who was she?

None of your business.

It was Im Sol, wasn't it?

I saw her getting on your bike.

Why would you let her ride? You've never let me.

Are you going out with her?

So what if I am?

Can I not do that?

Of course not.

Why would you date someone like her?

That makes no sense.

Dang it…

You wanna see it make sense?

Yes, very funny.

This is so humiliating.

Glad I ran into you, Granny.

What?

I like you.

Wanna go out with me?

What?

I said…

I like you.

Kim Tae-sung.

You said you liked me.

What? Don't you want to go out with me?

That little…

Yes.

I do.

RYU SUN-JAE TO BE AUTOPSIED

The future can be changed.

I have to go back.

- Sun-jae! - Evil spirit, begone!

What on earth have you done, Sol?

Are you okay, babe?

I didn't realize you liked me so much.

- Yeah, right. - Don't look.

I guess I didn't get through to you when I asked nicely.

Hey, stop.

Are you saying you were so drunk that you don't remember a thing?

I'm sorry.

I told you not to come closer.

What should I do then?

You can't do the one thing I really want.

What was it that I lost?

Was it my memories?

Or was it you?
