Original subtitles

By the way,

how'd you know where I was?

I saw you at the bus stop.

You were asleep on the bus

and didn't get off.

I see.

Seriously,

don't doze off anywhere.

You're always sleeping anywhere.

What if I hadn't seen you?

Okay, I promise not to doze off again.

By any chance,

have you ever seen me before the mock swim meet?

I thought maybe you might have. We live right across the street.

I have.

Really?

You mistook me for a courier.

You probably don't remember.

When was this?

In the spring.

We had just moved here.

I see.

Wish I got to know you back then.

I don't know about that.

Have you ever been to our shop too?

- What? - Sometimes I work there

when my mom is out.

BASIC INSTINCT, UNCUT VERSION

Did you ever come by to rent a DVD?

I'm so sleepy.

Hey.

Are you sleeping?

Yeah, I'm so sleepy.

Good night.

In life,

we miss a lot of things.

To me, Sun-jae had been someone unreachable,

like the stars in the sky.

But at the end of my teenage years

that I never wished to remember,

he had been there,

just within my reach.

We breathed in the same air,

looked up at the same sky,

walked the same path,

and he knew my name.

Sol! Im Sol!

Back then, I didn't know

he was the one who saved me.

It took reliving the past to realize

how much of my life I had missed.

Why are you crying?

Perhaps,

those moments I never should have missed

were out there sparkling brightly,

constantly sending me signals.

To make sure I don't miss those signals.

That must be why I'm here.

That must be why

you and I met again.

Sun-jae! Ryu Sun-jae!

Sun-jae!

Sun-jae!

Hey, Sun-jae!

Sun-jae, come out for a second!

What is it this time?

Look up at the sky. There's a rainbow.

Isn't it pretty?

You'd have missed it if it weren't for me.

Quick, make a wish.

I don't see anything.

What, you don't see it?

No.

Hang on.

Sun-jae!

Do you see it now?

Yeah.

What the heck?

Is it raining?

You brat!

Aren't you too old to play with that?

It's cold. Stop it!

Stay where you are!

What do you think you're doing?

Wait, Mom!

- Look at this mess! - Hold on!

- Seriously! - Mom!

I'll turn it off. Calm down.

- Calm down. - Stop right there!

- Please, Mom! - You're in for it.

You're not a child anymore!

- Mom, wait. - Stop!

- When will you grow up? - I'm sorry!

- I was just… - Stop right there!

Sun-jae!

Here.

For me? It's still early in the morning.

It flew over from your rooftop.

This isn't mine.

It's my grandma's. She likes pink.

Who asked?

Darn it.

I wanted to go to school together.

There's something I want to do with you.

Like what?

Don't worry about it.

Thanks, Sun-jae.

For what?

For saving my life.

And I'm sorry.

I should've thanked you ages ago.

I'm sorry it took so long.

You thanked me yesterday.

I guess, but still.

You're not avoiding me now.

I thought you didn't befriend girls.

Who said we were friends?

Then all those women you said were "just friends"

must have been girlfriends.

Guess you've dated your share of girls.

Fine, you can be my savior.

I'll be the magpie that repays you.

Wasn't that a swallow?

Was it?

That was close.

Should I be a swallow then?

Looks like you brought a gourd, not a gourd seed.

It's a time capsule!

I put your gift inside.

Just like how the gourd is full of treasure in the story.

I thought it was a gift.

Just give it to me. Why bury it?

- Is it kimchi? - It's not a kimchi jar.

It's a time capsule.

Help me dig already.

What's inside?

Actual treasure?

Something even more precious and special than that.

It'll blow your mind when you open it later.

Later when?

Around 2023?

You're burying a gift until then?

It's a stock.

So you have to keep it for a long time.

Really?

Of course not.

Let's meet up on January 1, 2023.

Exactly at midnight.

On the Hangang Bridge.

We'll dig this up that day.

Why on that day?

RYU SUN-JAE OF ECLIPSE DIES

So that I can change your fate.

So please, just live for one more day.

It's only meaningful if you get it then.

It'll be awesome, so look forward to it.

Don't dig it up before then.

January 1, 2023, midnight. Hangang Bridge.

Don't forget, okay?

January 1, 2023. Hangang Bridge.

Midnight, Hangang Bridge.

Hey.

Does this mean you won't see me until then?

You never know what'll happen in life.

Even if we're not in each other's lives,

promise me you'll come.

Think of it as a school reunion, okay?

Like meeting an old friend.

Who said we're friends?

I'm busy!

If you see Sol outside your house,

check to see if she's okay.

Why should I? Tell Tae-sung.

He's not dating Sol because he likes her.

Would he even care?

- What? - There's this girl, Ga-hyeon,

who's been chasing after him.

He's just dating anyone to get her off his back.

By the way…

Never mind. Let's go.

Goodness, she's got no taste.

Hey!

Where are your eyes?

Right here?

Wait up!

What's with the hall monitor?

She's always checking our uniforms.

I know!

My tie.

Looks like I'll be doing laps.

Hold on.

What about you?

I was on the swim team.

I hardly ever wore the uniform anyway.

They'll let me pass.

Look at your tie.

Don't you ever wash your uniform?

You little punks.

Ryu Sun-jae.

You're no longer on the swim team.

Dress properly next time, okay?

Yes, sir.

Good morning, sir.

What are you doing here?

You never come this way.

You always go over the wall to avoid getting caught.

We're…

turning ourselves in.

You'll take that under consideration, right?

Why, of course.

Come over here.

You call that running?

Seven more laps if you come in last.

Why did you have to bring me into this?

You need the exercise.

Hi.

You're not even saying hi?

Why would I?

Well, you seem awfully close with my girlfriend.

Why are you running in her place?

You live across from her, right?

What do you want to know?

What do I want to know?

Are swimmers faster when they swim

or when they run?

Turtles are fast in the ocean

but slow on land.

Are you the same?

You should quit smoking.

Jeez, you scared me.

What's with that look?

Check.

What the hell, man?

Checking what?

I knew it.

You actually like Sol, don't you?

What?

Look back at yourself.

You come to school every day,

you don't smoke,

you skip out on chances to hang out with girls…

You're acting weird.

Hey.

Put your shirt on.

You're so hard to look at.

Seriously, my eyes.

- Not too bad, don't you think? - Just put on some clothes!

He lost that time.

- That's right. - It's his chance to win.

On the left, Park Tae-hwan.

The red cap on the right…

400 m freestyle.

Ready.

Oh no.

- Why won't it turn off? - They're off.

Park Tae-hwan is in lane four.

Zhang Lin is off to a head start.

I'm home.

Hey.

What are you doing?

The TV wasn't working.

Why is the floor messy?

There must be a rat.

He's in the lead!

Gosh, he's so handsome.

His mother is so blessed

to have such an amazing son.

Maybe Park Tae-hwan will really win gold tomorrow!

I think he will!

Korea winning a gold medal in swimming?

Yeah, right.

It's a miracle that he got through the preliminaries.

He could win.

Not just gold. He wins a silver too.

Him and his bad hunches.

No wonder he lost all his money in stocks.

Hang on a second.

HANGUK UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL SCIENCE MINGUK UNIVERSITY EARLY ADMISSIONS

Sun-jae, are you free tomorrow?

What's up?

Let's go see a movie.

What? A movie?

Yes, I'll pay.

The tickets are non-refundable.

Let's go.

Come on.

Is your boyfriend busy?

Why did you call me up?

It's my way of thanking you for everything.

Oh no, it's Park Tae-hwan!

Sun-jae, your feet.

Nice bow!

Funny, right?

We have to hurry. Come on.

What was that?

Park Tae-hwan again?

What?

Look, I'm really good at rolling my eyes.

Cool, right?

I can even roll them the other way. See?

Like this.

A refreshing scent of summer is in the air today.

It's the perfect day to go on a date.

Are you spending a moment of this summer

with someone you love?

The 2008 Beijing Olympics,

the men's 400 m freestyle finals will soon begin.

Korea's rising star,

Park Tae-hwan is competing.

THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD

Why didn't you just ask me last night to go to the movies?

You said it was a secret, so I wondered all night.

I was worried you might say no.

Of course I'd say yes. Why would I not?

I like movies.

- You do? That's great. - For your safety,

please check the location of your theater

and the nearest emergency exits.

Currently, you are in Theater One.

In case of emergencies,

follow the arrows or staff instructions to get to safety.

- What the… - What's going on?

We should go.

I think we need to leave.

What's happening?

Sol, let's leave.

The fire alarm has malfunctioned.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Park Tae-hwan, let's go!

That's right!

Way to go!

1ST PLACE: PARK

Were you

just keeping me from watching the finals?

Why are you and Dad overprotective?

It wouldn't have mattered.

All of Korea would be celebrating

if he won a medal anyway.

I just felt like I had to.

What, did you think I'd start crying out of jealousy?

Honestly,

even if I knew I'd have to quit swimming at 19,

I would've swum anyway.

Thinking back,

swimming made me really happy.

I'd never have known that kind of happiness.

That's why I have no regrets.

About swimming

or how I can't anymore.

It is what it is.

What I'm saying is, I'm okay.

SPATIUM ACTING ACADEMY

I swear, I'm gonna…

Is your class over?

Yes, are you here for classes too?

No, I came to give you this.

Here, your shirt.

You kept it for so long after you said you'd wash it

that I thought you sent it to an overseas laundromat.

I'm a busy high school senior.

I'm not always lazing around like you.

Being a senior doesn't mean you get a free pass.

That's no way to talk to someone older…

Gosh, you got me a new one?

I knew you were well-mannered.

How'd you know I liked new clothes?

So? Did you get a new front tooth too?

Yes.

Your uncle is a really good dentist.

Okay then. I'm gonna go.

Why are you riding a bike on the sidewalk?

Are you okay?

I'm…

I'm fine!

What's up with her?

Why is my heart racing for a guy like him?

It's been ages since I've been to the movies.

What a bummer.

You must like movies.

Yeah, I used to watch two or three a day.

I wanted to be a film director.

Why is it the past tense?

For now,

my goal is to get to the CSAT venue with my own legs.

I guess I'll also have to take it now.

Really?

I'm going to apply early to study physical education.

Really? Same as my brother.

You want to be a PE teacher?

Don't get ahead of yourself.

I still can't imagine

doing anything else other than swimming.

Nonsense.

You look great as a doctor, firefighter, cop…

Even hanbok suits you!

You can be anything!

It's as if you've actually seen it.

No.

So…

Early admissions. You just need the minimum grades.

You should start studying.

Want some help?

Really?

Yeah, sure.

You promised.

Good--

What?

Oh no.

What are you doing, mister?

Go away.

What are you doing?

Scram!

Sun-jae.

Is my mom gone?

- Yeah, she's gone. - She is?

Gosh, what a relief.

It was scary up there.

I think I have a good footing.

Oh no, Sun-jae.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

- It's okay. - I didn't mean to step on you.

Oh no, Sun-jae.

I'm so sorry, but my leg is cramping up.

Well done.

I'm proud of you!

Go, Korea!

Go, Park Tae-hwan!

Hurray!

He did it!

I'm home.

"Hurray"?

Hurray, my son!

Hurray!

You're home late.

Yeah.

Listen.

You should just watch it on TV.

Doesn't it hurt your eyes?

Who's watching anything?

I'm not watching a thing.

The antenna is poking out of your pocket.

I think there's water flowing under our house.

I'm looking for that.

Don't worry about me and just watch it.

This makes me more uncomfortable.

I'm not worrying about anything. I'm too old for that.

The TV broke down, that's all.

It's working just fine.

Amazing.

You fixed it.

Dad.

I'm really okay.

So you don't have to worry about me.

You don't have to go this far.

- Good night. - Okay.

GEUM VIDEO AND DVD

DAD'S ANNIVERSARY

Hey, someone's on the phone for you.

Some police station.

Police station?

Someone found it by the reservoir,

but they didn't find your phone.

I think the drunk man took it. Can't I get it back?

Are there any cameras?

Who'd install cameras in this backwater?

Someone even buried a body around here.

- Sorry? - What?

Anyway,

we're busy with a case here.

You should go home.

Can I make a phone call then?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Hello?

Are you there?

Hello?

What the heck?

Why take a crappy phone that doesn't even have internet?

Mom will flip out if she finds out I lost my phone.

What's going on?

When was a path made over there?

How'd someone know and bury a body there?

- A body? - Oh my goodness.

It can't be anyone from this town, right?

No way. It must be one of the anglers

who come here to fish.

- Who knows? - What the heck?

What am I remembering?

I think it's the day of the accident.

I haven't been to the market with you in a while.

I know you just tagged along to avoid studying.

I came to help you carry the groceries.

I'm trying to be a good daughter!

Good daughter, my foot.

Did you find your cell phone?

No, just my wallet.

Good going.

You won't get another one until your college exams are over.

Okay, fine.

Now, let's see…

Is it the summer weather? The apples don't look very good.

Excuse me, can I get these?

They're the biggest.

- Mom, are you seeing anyone? - What?

I just think it'd be nice

if you met a nice, handsome, rich man.

I'm not sure if this is appropriate on your dad's anniversary.

If you meet someone nice, date him.

You're still young. You're in your prime!

Yeah, right.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics.

- We should get gold. - Korea's Jang Mi-ran in weightlifting

is going for the gold.

For her first attempt at the jerk,

Jang Mi-ran is lifting 175 kg.

She lifts with confidence.

In the next move, she makes a clean lift!

Jang Mi-ran of Korea wins gold!

Jang Mi-ran takes a deep breath.

For her second attempt in the jerk,

- she's lifting 183 kg. - So nerve-racking.

She has increased the weight by 8 kg.

It's important to make it a clean lift.

She did it!

Jang Mi-ran has set a world record.

Her third attempt, 186 kg!

She gets ready with a loud scream.

She's continuing the battle against herself.

At this moment, everyone has come together

to cheer her on.

First.

She gets up.

Lift it now.

Now for the clean lift.

Jang Mi-ran has done it!

Not only has she won gold,

she has set an Olympic record and a world record!

Jang Mi-ran has broken every record!

Wow, a world record.

A world record!

Hey, you're that guy.

I'm sorry?

The guy who got my sister drunk.

I saw you bringing her home totally wasted.

When did I…

This is nothing.

That time?

Now you remember?

At ease.

Attention!

At ease,

Attention!

I didn't get her drunk.

Now you're lying?

Sit.

Stand up.

Sit.

Get down.

I just had shoulder surgery.

Don't get down and stand up.

Are you Sol's boyfriend?

No, not yet anyway.

"Not yet"?

She must take after me, seeing how popular she is.

Then who's her boyfriend?

Some other guy.

Who's this other guy?

The guy who put the fire out at our house?

He seemed like a nice guy.

In what way?

He's good-looking, well-dressed,

and he seems popular.

He was brave and manly putting out the fire.

You're a terrible judge of character.

Excuse me?

Attention.

- Attention! - Im Geum!

Who do you think you are disciplining Sun-jae?

Is this what you learned to do in the military?

You little brat. You're in for it now.

You little brats!

Mom, did you used to play volleyball?

You're always smashing our backs!

Shut it!

Your father will be here for his memorial service,

then turn right back with a headache because of you two.

You two, come with me.

You're on cooking duty. Come on.

- Mom. - Wait, the candles.

- Move it. - Let go of me.

- Mom, let go. - You are so dead.

He's good-looking,

well-dressed, and he seems popular.

Good-looking?

No, don't look.

Sun-jae, don't look.

YOU ARE THE 100,000TH VISITOR! CONGRATS.

KIM TAE-SUNG SENT YOU 30 GINKGO COINS

Did you have a good look?

No!

Isn't that Kim Tae-sung?

- Right? - It is.

Right?

100,000TH VISITOR WINNER RYU SUN-JAE

It's Kim Tae-sung.

How cute.

IM SOL

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message…

I just don't get her.

Hey, where are you?

Inside your heart?

Quit playing and get over here.

I thought we practiced everything yesterday.

You barely memorized the chords!

Our show is tomorrow.

Get over here in 15 minutes.

Hey, I have to go soon.

My mom thinks I'm studying, so she's picking me up.

Then let's just practice the song without the bass.

I love you

We probably

Stop.

Dong-seop,

that's the wrong key.

Right, sorry.

I was too high, right?

No, you were too low!

I can't believe that's our lead singer.

Should I get Sun-jae to join the band?

Dad,

the truth is,

I'm scared.

I'm scared I won't be able to save Sun-jae or myself.

So Dad, please help me.

Can you ride a bike?

Yeah, can't you?

No.

When I was young, my dad taught me every weekend,

but I got too scared every time.

Dad said it was his wish to see me ride a bike.

But I never got to show him.

It's never too late.

He'll be watching from above, right?

Sun-jae!

Get down for a second.

No wonder you're shaky.

If the seat is too high,

you'll get hurt if you fall.

Try it now.

Okay.

- Better, right? - Yeah!

I'll hold the bike from behind, so try going slow.

You're going to teach me?

You can see if I'm cut out to be a PE teacher or not.

You're not going to get all scary

because I'm bad, are you?

Promise not to yell?

You know what I did best as an athlete?

- What? - Composure.

COMPOSURE

Listen to me. The handlebar!

Hold the handlebar!

Left foot, right foot!

Left! No, right!

Right foot! Left!

Okay, look.

Pedal with your left and then right.

Keep the handlebar centered. How hard is that?

If I could do it, I wouldn't be learning from you at my age.

You're so mean.

Composure, my foot!

Okay, let's try that again.

Here I go.

How are you so unathletic?

I want to quit.

Now you're a quitter?

How are you ever going to teach PE?

You stink as a teacher.

I need compliments to do better.

Yeah?

Let's try that again.

You're doing great.

Good job.

Nice.

You're doing great.

Good.

You fell over.

But it was a good fall.

Yes, just keep going.

- Like this? - Yes.

Good job.

You're still holding it, right?

You better not let go.

I didn't let go.

Hey, did you let go?

You're good.

You let go?

Eyes forward.

Right.

Try speeding up.

Okay.

Gosh, look at me!

This moment, right here.

It's probably one of the moments I need to hold on to.

Be careful.

You did it.

Well done.

I wanna go again.

Are you sure?

You might not be able to walk tomorrow.

Exactly.

All the more reason to ride more.

Be careful when you turn.

Wanna race?

With a bike?

Yes.

Come on.

CHEONGHYANG STUDY ROOM

Try to remember.

You can do this.

The scores for the 2009 CSAT are out.

Controversy is arising over the difficulty level of the math section.

Students who've gotten their scores are saying it was the hardest ever…

No hope for the math section.

Better to give it up quickly.

Focus on other subjects.

What's wrong with me? Why do I keep thinking about him?

Get him out of your mind!

Hey, are you okay?

Should we skip studying today?

Get out of my head!

Is everything okay?

I just need to clear my head.

Hey, babe.

Who are you trying to impress with new clothes?

You only wear sweats.

Come and take a look.

- Don't answer that. - Hey.

- Don't look. - Come, it's been a while.

Walk straight until you see something you like.

If you like something, don't let them see it.

- Otherwise, you'll be ripped off. - Looking for anything?

- Wait. - I'd like that one.

Didn't you hear anything I just said?

The whole outfit?

Good eye.

I'll give you a special price.

Come here.

Sun-jae. I'm gonna look around, okay?

Okay.

In my opinion, this was made for you.

Of course you should come see your boyfriend play.

Right?

I'm only here because Hyeon-ju wanted to see the show.

You better not call Sol again until the college exams are over.

Yes, ma'am.

Playing hard to get?

Sun-jae!

Are you here for the show too?

Yes.

Darn it.

People might think we're going out.

Can't you change?

Why should I?

What's with this confidence?

You'll look ridiculous next to me.

Isn't it embarrassing to say that?

Your drinks are ready. Enjoy.

Thank you.

Here.

Well?

Sit.

Why am I hung up on Geum

when there are cute guys everywhere?

Hi.

I'm Hyeon-jju, Sol's friend.

- Nice to meet you. - Hyeon-jju?

Her habit of talking like a baby in front of cute guys never changed.

Okay.

Wait.

Have this. You don't like sweet things.

Thanks.

Where's In-hyeok though?

I thought you came with him.

He's probably busy shopping.

By the way, did you get my gift?

Did you have a good look?

A gift?

Just something for my fan.

Turns out, he's interested in me.

I rejected the gift.

- Didn't you check? - Hey.

There's something on your lips.

I wish I had a boyfriend too.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

I see.

Is there anyone you like?

I guess you don't want to answer.

Hey, why aren't In-hyeok and Dong-seop here yet?

I don't know.

- Guys. - What the…

We're in trouble.

It can't be worse than your clothes.

What are you wearing?

Is this for a comedy show?

No, listen.

Dong-seop can't make it.

- What? - What?

That mama's boy.

His mom said

he should be studying instead.

What do we do?

This is terrible. What do we do?

Hey, should I sing?

Do you want to be humiliated on stage?

Tell them we can't play today.

Darn it.

No, wait.

Hello? Where are you?

In front of a mirror

With a rusty hammer

I chiseled my bones

Waiting for you

Where did Sun-jae go?

That was an energetic performance by Black Tetra.

Keeping the excitement going, let's welcome our next band.

The next contestant is…

- It's starting. Where is he? - Eclipse from Jagam High School!

Wait, isn't that Sun-jae?

I'm so lonely

I'm so lonely

After that day

When you left me

Countless nights

And hurting

Before I know it, next to me

You're here but you don't hold on to me

I'll be there

You're the only one for me

I've dreamed of you

All my life

What a feeling I feel love

You know too

No matter how many days go by

I'll be there

And I'll be there and wait for you

I'll be there

You're the only one for me

I've dreamed of you all my life

We loved your song!

- You're so handsome! - So good-looking.

Did she leave already?

We've met before, right?

Outside your school.

Sun-jae can really sing.

In-hyeok is so cool too.

Can we talk?

Well, it'll only be a minute.

What is Mr. Kim doing here?

No.

Sol. Are you okay?

You okay?

Were you waiting for me?

What took you so long? Who did you meet?

I thought you left, so I was with In-hyeok…

The man who was outside the school last time.

Didn't you meet him?

How did you know?

What did he say?

Did he say he'd help you debut? Do you want to?

What are you saying?

He asked for my number, but I didn't give it to him.

Why do you ask?

There are a lot of bad people out there.

And a lot of scammers like that.

I was worried, that's all.

I'm not a little kid.

You don't have to worry.

Here.

This was the prize.

Did you sing for this?

Yeah.

Why would you sing in front of all those people for this?

I've never done anything for you.

But it's inconvenient to not have a phone.

That's none of your business.

I don't want you to worry about me.

Why not?

Can't I worry about you?

No, you can't.

Don't worry about people or look out for them.

You'll bottle up everything and hide your pain.

And then you'll get hurt and hide that too.

You'll lose sleep over all of that

until you just let everything go.

So don't do that.

What are you talking about?

I only gave you a phone.

I just want you

to be selfish.

If you have time for this,

just think about what you can do

to make yourself more happy.

You want me to be selfish?

You really want that?

Yes.

Whatever.

I guess this was all for nothing.

You can throw it away if you want.

You want me to be selfish?

You really want that?

It's inconvenient to not have a phone.

That's none of your business.

I don't want you to worry about me.

Why not?

Can't I worry about you?

Hey!

My number one treasure.

Not again.

What?

- I didn't delete this? - He even talks.

He looks just like in the commercials.

He moves too.

Yes, very funny.

How do I delete this?

Sun-jae.

You want me to be selfish, right?

Will you break up with him?

Will you do that if that's what I want?

I like you.

Break up with Tae-sung.

I said, I like you.

Why would Sun-jae like me?

Why would someone so brilliant like someone like me?

How do you feel about him?

We need to talk.

- She doesn't want to. - Stay out of it.

You, come with me.

Just let Tae-sung handle it.

What if she's getting beat up somewhere?

What is wrong with me?

- Hey. - If Sol isn't here, I'm leaving.

Don't go.

I was going to wait,

but I can't hide it anymore.

I…

Sun-jae, I'm sorry.

I can't go out today.

Don't wait for me.
