Even as a part time lecturer, it's hell to grade.

Young-ho and Eun-seu, go out or something?

No idea, why?

Their paper is the same. Who's copied whose, whatever.

Some sneaky ones use only different fonts.

They should go with handwriting.

I flunked both of them.

You'll pay for it, pestered by their obsession for grades.

So C works.

Hey, Ho, I�ve been working for 2 terms but I am fed up, already.

If you become a full-time professor, nothing changes.

Daughters of Italy

I need a shoe spoon at your home.

See you, I won't be with you until next week.

But I got class tomorrow at school.

Seeing at work is not what I mean.

- Good morning. - How are you?

Hanna, Professor KIM Ho wants to see you.

At 4, in his study.

I see.

- Hi, Hanna. - Come on in.

Long time no see.

Let me give you some coffee.

How have you been?

I�m thinking of applying for a project to the Korea FUND,

You three part-time lecturers are in it, if you agree to.

Sounds cool. You noticed I�m desperate!

I love to, too. What's it about?

It's titled �Internal reunification of Germany�

It's been 15 years since Germany was united

but still no smooth ride, right?

Couldn't that have been studied in other colleges?

We want to cover social and cultural things too,

beyond literary limits.

Then couldn't it be too much for us to cover?

Political, sociological and educational experts, with degrees

from Germany will join you.

And you three are for the cultural section.

I see no big problem with our project granted,

as it's interesting enough.

This is a rough outline I laid out.

I want you to develop this and we'll clarify it.

Christa Wolf! It�s your dissertation, Hanna, right?

Without Grass and Wolf,

we can't talk about anything in literary art.

And Ms PARK, you take care of female and youth literature.

Oh, no, I am not a feminist.

My major is Heinrich Kleist in the 19th, so I don't know my share.

Of course you are in. We cover a wide range.

I�d be honored if I�m allowed to join you.

Hanna, you're not happy with this?

I am, sir.

And you are the director of this project.

No, you do it, Ms. PARK. You're more experienced.

The younger, the more capable.

I, married with 3 girls, am too busy.

How about dinner or something?

I�d love to, but I should see my kid's teacher...

My girl scratched a boy, so...

I take a night shift in Private Academy, so I can't either.

You're well paid?

I�m telling you, much better than college.

Isn't it illegal?

If it's, are you calling the police?

It depends.

It's a part time job.

My friend asked me to, until he finds a new teacher.

How about quitting college then?

We college part timers are in hell.

Your husband is a good breadwinner,

so you quit and take care of your kids!

What a male chauvinist pig!

Stop talking.

You wanna quit your job if you get married?

If yes, I�ll find a guy for you.

Am I a competitor to you?

We'll leave soon. Doors are closing, take care.

Light!

Ready!

Go!

Restricted Area

This is for you.

Thanks, sweetie, what an angel!

- You rule! - You rule too!

Bye!

Let's go, sweetie.

Hey, wake up, it's the last stop.

Bye.

Thanks, everything is going fine?

Yes.

- You going home? - No, a shift in a couple of hours.

- Take care, sir. - Thanks.

Alarm Setting

- You're up? - Yeah, thank you.

- Good morning, sir. - Good morning.

- Anything stressful? - No, I am fine.

Please be informed of today's power failure of the railways.

And tomorrow, power is cut off from 1 to 4 am,

at Go-Duk station.

Yes sir.

l wish one more day of safety driving today.

Train is leaving, the doors are being closed.

Hello, this is the engine driver KIM Man-soo.

Shall I give a quiz for fun?

What's the fastest way to go to Busan from Seoul?

Express Train?

No.

By Airplane?

Again, no.

The answer is to go with the one you love most.

Thank you for boarding.

I hope each of you has the best day of your life.

The train is leaving,

please wait for the next train.

Put your hands on the sole of the feet.

Put your weight backwards.

Twist your body, like laundry.

If you wanna lose more fat, twist more.

Hold up your legs in the air.

Don't bend your body first.

Look at the mirror and...

Hello.

I sent money.

I told you not to; I can make my living.

Don't think I�ve got no idea how you live!

One of your dad's former students

visited us. He's a prosecutor and single!

I see. He said hello to you, so what?

- Hanna! - Gotta go, I am busy.

Respect your mom!

I�m exercising.

Come home on your birthday.

Don't worry, I�m an adult.

To me, you are such a girl, forgetting to celebrate your own birthday.

Be real, sweetie, this country is

overflowing with doctors from overseas.

And your major,

German literature gives you no future.

Your father won't help you at all in this!

Then use your doctorial degree for finding a man!

Come home, on your birthday.

I will, don't worry.

I can celebrate with this noodle!

It's the fourth time to get this; can I have your name?

Thanks.

The train is leaving, doors are being closed.

Emergency, halt!

An accident happened at the platform.

Human injuries are involved.

Ladies and gentlemen, this train is going to make an emergency stop.

But you'll be all right and please stay calm and stay inside.

- When is your shift? - 8:42, dad.

You could sleep 20 more minutes.

If I�m late 1 minute, my co-worker is in trouble.

Breakfast is ready, son.

Let's dig in.

And when is your shift tomorrow?

19:13

Then the train stops on the way.

Well, son, I got to say this..

It's time to think about marrying, huh?

What a shame for your mother in heaven!

Hanna, you are so good at climbing! Look, Jung-se is dying!

You got divorced?

Nothing new.

Nothing new, I�m single again.

I felt this coming from the beginning.

You, as a banker, find no trouble remarrying, huh?

Oh, being a banker doesn't guarantee anything.

Hey, you're back on the market!

Here comes an all-along single.

- Sounds cool. Customer is near! - Not bad!

No, thanks.

Oh, loving cucumber means you need something like that!

So what's your favorite?

Doughnuts, you can guess.

How about opening a doughnut shop?

I envy Hanna and Mira, they expanded their study.

Me, too.

I gave up, with no future in sight,

and now work for TV. but...

Oh, don't say that.

You can't imagine how it feels to be stuck here.

No fun in working as the assistant for the lawmaker?

So many scandals are in the paper, about him.

Even for me, he's not forgivable.

I�m running for the local government on my own...

I envy you all guys.

Under this high unemployment rate,

at least you have your own job, love it or not.

I feel like I�m worthless.

I mean, not as useful as a street cleaner.

We need a street cleaner but we don't need what I do, right?

You know what you lack? Reality check!

Just have your own family, and have kids.

When you see your own kids,

all conception and ideas are gone!

Life is so real when you have a family.

The woman in the frame is sitting in fur hat and fur muffler...

and long and thick fur tossi on the arms.

And she is showing her arms to the people.

- Who is next? - It�s me.

Gregory is starting at the window. And the cloudy weather makes him gloomy.

The rain fall onto the zinc roof is making sound.

KIM Ho I am in the office

Leaving one's office

Come in.

You show up without making appointment?

Sorry about that, but now I�m a lecturer and you're a professor.

You feel so weird.

What happened?

I want to do that.

Do what?

I want to get it on with you now.

You are crazy?

It must be fun to have sex in a room with a view to the campus

Come on.

Stop this, it's not like you.

I�ve got an appointment with a student.

Don't panic, I was kidding.

Next Friday is my birthday.

What do you want to have?

Night together.

I wanna wake up together in the morning.

We never did.

I see.

Good bye.

Remember the library of Liberty University, when we were in Berlin?

When it was no people Friday night.

We used to have sex, like crazy.

Just like kids.

Thank you.

Next week I�ll go on a business trip to Tokyo.

I'll be back on Friday, but I�ll tell my wife I�m back on Saturday.

Then I will be able to stay over with you.

How about making a reservation near the airport?

My plane arrives at 4:30 on Friday.

How about my going with you to Tokyo?

send

temporary file box

I�d like to but there are others with me.

And I may share a room with one of them.

Next time, I'll try to work it out.

Sorry about nagging you, have a nice trip.

But I don't like a hotel near the airport.

I like to go to Chejudo.

When you arrive, take the domestic air at the gate 1.

Airplane leaves at 5.

When you are on board, you'll see me next to you.

Honey, go to bed.

Working on the paper for tomorrow.

I put the bathroom stuff, you will check the others.

All right, thanks.

You don't need yours?

I think this strong color will fit on you.

Hey, can I buy a shoe spoon?

Oh, you wear our shoes;

let me give you one free.

Hello.

You are still in bed? I�m waiting for you.

Sorry, mom, I worked late so...

What time will you be at the station? I�ll pick you up.

Sorry, mom, I can't go, I need to do something urgent.

What's urgent? You work only 6 hours a week!

Mom, I�m not a little girl any more.

I want to be with a man.

Are you serious?

If you can't come 'cause of a man, it's acceptable.

Wow, what an awesome mother you are!

I can't not be,

when I see an old daughter single for years!

Just show up with a man, I don't mind his having kids or whatever.

Oh, don't go there, mom.

Hello.

This is Cheju Shilla, can I talk to LEE Hanna?

Right.

I�m calling you to change your room to a corner suite.

What do you mean?

We'll give you a better room as kind of a promotion.

It has a bedroom and a living room...

with a good view on the sea and Mt. Halla.

And it's connected with the garden and...

most importantly, with no extra charge.

But why?
