Just the thought of Mi-ji turns me on.

I must've fallen for her.

It's sleeting.

Winter seems like it's coming to an end.

I hope they have snow in Gyeongju too.

I want to see Bulguksa Temple covered in snow.

I haven't travelled in years.

It makes my heart flutter like a boy.

I'll go.

It's 9 o'clock at night. Let's meet around 7, at the underpass.

- Mr... - Yes.

Do you love me?

What are you saying all of a sudden?

You only love me in a room with four walls, don't you?

That's not like you, Mi-ji.

You're right. I said something that wasn't really like me.

It's because of the weather.

Perhaps the gloomy weather is making me strange.

Then, I'll go now.

Mi-ji.

What happened to Seong-min?

Min, what's wrong?

Are you unhappy with me about something?

Then what?

My body feels weird.

I think there've been some changes in my body.

I used to be nothing like this.

You silly, you startled me.

It's because you're tired these days.

Min.

Let's go to bed now.

And let's go to a hospital tomorrow.

Have you injured your spine in the past by any chance?

I've been hospitalized once for a car accident.

How did it go?

He must take my X-ray first to conclude.

If my backbone isn't hurt, I can be fully treated.

Did you get shots?

Min, don't torture yourself and wait for the X-ray result.

It's obvious. I've become sexually disabled.

Mi-ji, do you remember? Last Christmas

we stayed up all through the night at the college cafe and promised

to love and love to death.

But, I've become a sick man who can't love you.

Min, it's not like we're strangers.

Mi-ji, why didn't you go with him?

Seong-min left for Daegwanryeong at dawn some days ago.

Come visit us some time.

Mi-ji, I am writing this letter at the balcony

where I can see the snow-covered Daegwanryeong in the distance.

I've come without telling you. I hope you understand.

On the day I went to the hospital with you, I couldn't sleep.

My head kept telling me that I should let you go

but my heart kept telling me I should keep you by my side.

The conflict lasted all night in vain, and I left Seoul.

Mi-ji, why can't I be logical about this?

Why am I so emotional?

I just can't stand the thought of you becoming unhappy

because of me. Mi-ji, forget about me.

Start a new life.

Seong-min, stop drinking.

Hey, what a pretty girl you are.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Mademoiselle.

I like this girl.

Aren't you going to enjoy with me tonight?

Let go of me.

Hey, life is short. Let us enjoy it.

What are you doing?

You... Don't be so coy.

Let go of me.

What's with you these days?

Don't just stay in your room like that and go out.

Go visit Sindang-dong as well.

Isn't the weather great?

Spring is already in the air. Go out.

- What would you like to have? - Coffee.

Yes.

May I sit?

We must have some strange connection.

Are you alright? You don't look good.

Don't be offended.

I am just a bored man like you.

I'm not bored at all.

Then, I was rude.

Since I saw you at the hospital, I've wanted to talk with you.

I thought we could become friends in a certain sense.

- Give me beer please. - Yes.

Do you like that song?

I don't hate it.

Do you want to have a drink?

Alcohol is a medicine that fills up the empty space in miserable people.

Do you think I am unhappy?

Well, was I wrong?

No.

Can I have a drink?

Yes, sure.

Cosmos.

Oh, what is your name?

It's Mi-ji.

Isn't it quite a pretty name?

Yes, it is. Where is your home?

Home? I have no such thing.

What?

You're surprised. Don't worry.

I am not a gypsy.

I have a house and a boyfriend and...

You're drunk, stop drinking now.

Don't bother. I have money for a drink too.

Mi-ji, you'd better go home. Get up.

Come on.

Where did you say you lived?

I can't go home.

How can I go home drunk like this?

Don't you have the courage to take me anywhere?

Sejong Hotel

It's already done.

I had to give it to a man after all. I wanted to know

that other men wouldn't be the same as Seong-min.

Forgive me.

I didn't know you'd kept your virginity.

Don't feel responsible.

I've chosen you as I pleased.

The first time I saw you at the hospital

I felt a strong apple smell.

I couldn't forget that smell.

When the night fell, I had an insufferable desire to have it.

You gave me what I'd desired to have.

Mi-ji.

I don't want to leave like this without any promise.

If I want to see you, I'll come by the salon.

Good bye.

Mi-ji, where did you sleep last night?

Seong-min called many times.

Did you fight with Seong-min?

What's the matter?

Mi-ji, talk to me.

What happened?

Geez! It's nothing.

Why...

Othello, move.

I'm scared. I feel scared somehow.

Think about the sin you've committed.

Othello, the only sin I've committed is that I loved you.

Desdemona, you have to die because of that.

It is nonsense that you'll kill me because you love me.

You won't kill me, will you?

Be quiet!

But your eyes scare me.

When you glare fiercely like that, it is serious.

Why am I scared?

I'm scared even though I have done nothing wrong.

Othello, you must misunderstand something.

Didn't you give Cassio the handkerchief I'd given you?

I never gave it. Call and ask him.

Think now.

You are not to swear a false oath.

You are lying on the bed of death.

I clearly saw him taking my handkerchief.

Goodbye.

Seong-min.

I like that song.

If I were Pagliacci's wife, I'd have gone crazy.

- Mi-ji, I can't take it. Let's get out. - Seong-min, calm down.

Sometimes I feel I want to kill you.

Now I can't even stand it when you talk to another man.

Seong-min.

I think you should take some rest

in the quiet country.

If I look carefully, I can see you look pale.

Getting married isn't urgent. You need to get your health back,

Seong-min, take a rest.

Seong-min, I'll go with you anywhere.

- Are you leaving already for the 2 o'clock train? - I have to stop by somewhere.

I'd opposed from the start because he was too weak.

See what's happened.

Mom, no need to say it now.

What can we do about what is done? Go now.

- I'll write. - All right.

Haedong Construction.

Excuse me?

The President isn't in yet.

You'd better call him at home.

Hello.

Excuse me?

Please wait a moment.

May I ask who is calling?

Excuse me? Miss Mi-ji?

Please wait.

- Honey, a call for you. - Yes.

Hello. It's me.

Miss Mi-ji.

I want to see you. When can we meet?

Well... Lunch time seems fine.

Where? Yes.

I see. Good.

She's a sister-in-law of a bank manager. He asked me to get her a job.

- Which bank? - Well, the Sogong-dong branch.

I wasn't in a position to turn down so I said I'd consider.

Getting her a job is fine but be careful.

Young women these days are so cunning.

It isn't like you.

Do you really think I can date young girls at my age?

Certainly I trust you, but I heard girls these days

would do anything for a man if they sense he's rich.

If you don't watch out, you can embarrass yourself.

Is that so? You seem to know very well.

I wish I could fall into such temptation of a girl.

- Oh, darling. - Yes?

What happened to the necklace I asked for?

That?

I heard someone is coming from Hong Kong today. He'll bring it.

Then, I'll go now.

Mi-ji.

Did you wait long?

Why don't we go for lunch first?

- Mr... - Yes?

I don't have time today.

I decided to go to the country this afternoon with my fiance.

He's weak. So, he's going down to recuperate

and I'm going with him.

But you must have time for lunch at least.

No.

If I stay with you longer...

Mi-ji, you have no idea how much I've missed you.

Honestly, since that night, I've thought about you every single day.

You are so selfish in all aspects.

I'll write you a letter.

I don't want to let you go like this.

I must go.

Mi-ji.

Here, I got this from my friend who went to Hong Kong.

I wanted to give you a present. Will you have it?

Here, please accept it.

That will make me feel better.

Thank you.

When you come back, promise to call me.

- Mi-ji. - Yes.

- How about living here like this forever? - Won't you get tired of it?

- Not ever, if I'm with you. - But we can't do that.

Why not?

I'll miss my mom.

Let's take a walk around the farm.

Chew it well.

Oh, you're surely playing your role as a mom.

- You can call me mom. - If you call me father.

- You aren't qualified. - What?

I told you.

What are you thinking about?

About the old days.

I feel so peaceful with you by my side.

I became aware of a pain in my heart.

I felt guilty that I had been treating him

so coldly until then.

Seong-min, you must look after your health no matter what.

Seong-min, you promised not to rush.

Please don't treat me like a patient.

You have to relax as the doctor said.

It's time to take your medicine.

Dear Mr. Heo,

Although I left Seoul by myself, I have no regret.

Coming down with a certain man was the wise thing I'd chosen.

The man I came with is my fiance.

He is now silently sleeping on the bed beside me.

His face shows clear signs of illness.

He is very sick.

His mind is sick as well as his body. I should take care of him

But...

But...

The necklace you gave me often troubles me.

Darling, have you been to the hospital?

What did the doctor say?

He says I'm crazy.

What?

We need to talk.

What's wrong?

What did you say about the necklace I'd asked for?

Didn't you tell me the bank manager forgot to bring it?

So what?

You gave the necklace to the girl named Mi-ji.

What are you talking about?

What?

Will you remember if I show you this letter?

Here it is.

Oh, well...

No...

Then, come to Cosmos Salon at 7 o'clock this evening.

All right.

Into the far-off blue sky

I want to fly endlessly.

I am a migratory bird who got lost

and have wandered about aimlessly in the air.

Please tell me

a way to go.

Please tell me.

Where does the woman in the wall go?

Modern medical science isn't perfect.

There is something called miracle in this world and

quite often people conquer illnesses with their faith.

Oh, then, it's hopeless.

Young man, you shouldn't lose courage.

Sex isn't everything in life.

I'm the happiest when I meet you.

Liar.

Are you really happy?

Yes.

- How much? - Well?

This much.

- What are you going to do if I run away? - I'll follow you.

What if I get away too far to follow?

I'll follow too.

What if I die?

Then, I'll die too.

Liar.

I might really die.

Really.

It's because you're still a girl.

I'm a grown up now.

You're still a girl.

It's too hasty.

- Should I love you? - I've come to like you, Mi-ji.

Are you tired?

You've turned to face the wall.

Those are the last words from Hemingway's short novel.

I didn't know that.

Is there a line like that in the story?

It's the ending of 'The Killers.'

Then, I should write a novel too.

No, no more. Stop.

What's the matter, Mi-ji?

You've got a beautiful body.

It's as beautiful as a painting.

You should go now.

Mi-ji, I don't want to let you go tonight.

Mi-ji.

Did you stay over at Seong-min's?

Be careful before the wedding. People are watching.

I'm sorry to cause you trouble.

Since I know your face, I'll recognize you when you come.

I'll wait for you at Salon Cosmos at 7 o'clock this evening.

Have a seat, Miss Mi-ji.

I didn't think you'd come.

There is no reason why I shouldn't.

And you wrote such an earnest letter.

Perhaps, you already know

what I'm going to tell you.

I'm not sure.

I want you to stop seeing him.

I am not the one you should be talking to.

Isn't that what you should go home and tell Mr. Heo?

You're shameless.

Do you love Mr. Heo?

What a strange question to ask.

I do not love Mr. Heo.

I've only slept with him.

But if things go on this way, I may really begin to like him.

What?

If you wanted to see me because of Mr. Heo, I'll leave.

I'm sure you two can sort it out on your own.

If you love Mr. Heo, make sure to keep him.

Why...

Seong-min, a call for you.

Hello.

Hello? Who is calling please?

Tea and drink Casablanca

Who are you?

I am the woman who had her husband stolen by your girlfriend.

In short,

you and I are in the same shoes.

You're wrong about Mi-ji. She isn't that kind of a girl.

Wait, please have a seat.

I still have something to tell you.

Do you have proof?

If you want proof,

go to this hotel now.

Go to room 207.

I was aware of what I went through, but you aren't.

To deceive a fiance before marriage is the greatest sin...

Madame, you have a bad taste.

I'm scared of you. Why am I scared?

I don't know my fault either. But I'm scared.

Didn't you give Cassio the handkerchief I'd given you?

No, please have someone ask him.

You are not to lie.

Now, the bed of death awaits you.

- God, save me. - Amen.

I never loved Secretary Cassio.

I saw the handkerchief.

Maybe he just found it. Please send someone to hear his story.

- He's already confessed - What?

that he's committed adultery.

How could he tell such a lie?

Now he can't even talk.

The loyal Iago killed him.

Oh, is he dead?

Even if a single one of his hair had life,

my revenge is not finished.

You are a whore.

How can you shed tears for him in front of me?

Don't kill me, please. Please don't kill me.

Don't kill me.

Please don't kill me.

You, whore!

No!

Drop the curtain! Drop the curtain!

Quick!

Hello.

The President is on a hunting trip.

Pardon?

A young man came for him a little while ago.

I'll speak frankly.

End your relationship with Mi-ji.

Mi-ji will get married to me soon.

Is that so? Congratulations.

You don't look like you're congratulating.

What?

Did you love her?

I liked her rather than loved.

She was a very lively and honest girl.

Then, what about the way she felt for you?

I don't think she loved me.

She may have liked me, as I did her.

But she never told me she loved me.

I think that girl was always wandering about.

Did you know she had a fiance?

If so, you are a hypocrite. No, a shameless man!

How could you toy with a woman who had a fiance?

- Toy? - Yes.

- Besides, you even have a family. - Wait.

Do you think I toyed with her even though she wanted me?

I only watered a thirsty tree.

What?

Young man, if you love Mi-ji, take hold of her.

Mi-ji always looked lost.

As I don't want to leave my family and choose her,

Mi-ji won't turn her back on you and follow me either.

Because we didn't love each other.

You didn't love but toyed with another man's fiance?

As I said before, we wanted each other at the same time.

Mister.

I'm sorry to have surprised you.

Nothing happened.

It was my fault. The gun went off by accident.

Mister.

I thought you were cold-hearted. Thank you.

I'll beg for your forgiveness for Seong-min.

I'm alright, follow him quickly.

Go, quick.

Seong-min.

Thank you, Mi-ji. Come to think of it...

Seong-min.

Let's not talk about what has been done.

Why don't we go on that? A honeymoon car.

For our honeymoon, I chose to Gyeongju and

stop by at Gyeongpodae Beach for the last stop.

I made flight reservations on my way here.

Did you like the wedding dress?

Cosmos

I'm happy to hear you've decided to get married to Seong-min.

If he settles down with you, he won't make a mistake as he made at Othello.

- Won't he? - Of course not.

Remember me before getting married?

Hanging out in cafe corners with long hair,

Chartres, feminism, Jeanne Moreau, Rubinstein, and Picasso...

Oh, how I used to babble on!

Yes, we used to talk about such things all the time.

But, now I worry about what to make for breakfast and dinner.

If I wish for anything more,

it's a healthy baby who looks just like my husband.

I've changed, haven't I?

I envy you.

You'll be happy too if you marry him.

Is there something that bothers you?

No, I just want to have a baby who looks like Min

and become happy like you.

Oh, we should go now to try on your wedding dress.

Wow, it really looks great on you.

Do you know when the happiest moment for a woman is?

It's when she puts on a wedding dress for the first time.

Oh, I feel like I'm dreaming.

You're so beautiful that I feel as if I'm with an angel.

Seong-min? It's Mi-ji.

There's something we should talk about in person.

Yes, tomorrow at 2 o'clock, I'll wait at Deoksugung Palace.

Mi-ji, you didn't come back home last night.

I waited a lot.

Seong-min.

You won't get mad no matter what I say?

I want to give this ring back to you.

I think this is the only way

we can be honest to ourselves.

Forgive me, Seong-min.

You're brutal, Mi-ji.

Seong-min, I love you.

But, I am a woman. I want to be owned by a man.

I want to have him fully own me.

But Seong-min, you are...

Mi-ji, say nothing.

From the beginning, I've expected for this to come.

I'd decided to get married to you

and spend the rest of my life by your side.

I didn't want to think a woman's happiness was only in physical pleasure.

But when wearing the wedding dress,

I saw myself in the mirror

and realized that hot blood was running in my body.

I am a woman.

I want to have a baby.

You understand me, don't you?

Seong-min, I'll come visit you often.

Will you really have it cut?

Yes, make it very short.

As Mia Farrow did.

But your hair is too good.

You aren't qualified to be a hairdresser.

Where are you going?

- Is the madam still lying in bed? - Yes.

That's terrible.

You're being unkind.

She got worse because you spent the night out.

Aren't you going to see her?

If she sees me, she'll get worse.

I'll go.

- You look good with a bob. - Thank you.

Reserved embassy parking

Look here.

You had your hair cut short.

Why did you cut your long hair?

To get back my husband, I had my hair hung down as you did.

But you had your hair cut short.

Why?

Did my husband say he didn't like the long hair anymore?

You, where did you get that hair cut? I'll go cut it too.

- Where is that beauty shop? - Madam, why are you doing this?

What? Madam?

You, you got my heart-broken and

now you call me madam.

Where? Where is the shop you got your hair cut?

Madam, what's wrong?

Mr. Kim, this girl is a thief.

What?

She's the thief who's stolen my most precious thing.

Really?

I'll give you a lesson, you wicked girl.

What on earth has that girl stolen?

My husband.

What?

I'll have my hair cut short as you did.

Mi-ji.

Mi-ji, something's happened to you.

- Will you bless me? - Bless?

The moment I decided to break up

with Seong-min and you at the same time

I finally found my way.

What are you talking about?

I won't forget about what's happened.

It was an ordeal of youth that was out of my league.

Now I think I've become a grown-up who can walk alone.

Good bye.

Mi-ji.

Mi-ji, turn your face.

I suddenly can't remember your face.

I'll go as it is. It's better not to remember.
