Original subtitles

(I think...)

(You have a new message)

(I'm getting married.)

(Don't do that, dude!)

(Why? You did it twice!)

(Objection based on experiences. Live alone, buddy.)

(How could you get married before me? With whom anyway?)

(Of course, with Mi-young.)

(Why so suddenly? Is she pregnant?)

Crazy morons.

(No way. It is just about time. And it makes me a jerk)

(not to propose after 4 years that we have been together.)

(I'm serious. Don't do that!)

(Go for it... Being alone is lonely.)

(You are still lonely when married.)

(Just go home, stupid! I'm serious.)

(I'm in front of her place.)

Shall I break up with him?

Why? Does he want to break up with you?

He suddenly came to see me.

Even worse, I got puffy eyes.

What does he want?

I don't know. He has been acting weird lately.

He must be out of his mind!

Oh, my! I look like a pig!

What is it? Speak up quickly.

I have been thinking lately...

We have been arguing often...

We have been dating already for 4 years.

Time sure flies.

- So what? - What?

Get right to the point and skip the fluff.

I left the washing machine on.

Sure... washing machine.

And I got the job a while ago...

even if working as a civil servant is not particularly lucrative.

What is the point?

What I mean is...

It has been 4 years already...

And you don't know a thing

after all these years.

My darling is ill! Your eyes are swollen.

Why didn't you tell me that you are sick?

Oh heck!

Don't mind me. Just say it!

Darn it...

No, not now.

We are not in the right mood.

Let me pick another day.

What mood?

- Just say it. - No, I will do it later.

Are you seeing someone else?

- What? - That is why you get bored of me?

What are you talking about?

No way, impossible!

Then why bother me asking to come out for nothing?

Bother you?

Why did you come if it bothers you that much?

If you just said so, it would have saved me a lot of trouble!

Then you had left quietly?

Or what? You are saying I would have created a scene?

- Why are you so upset? - Me? Upset?

You make me want to leave now.

Go home! No one is holding you!

I got it. Let's break up!

We broke up!

Dang!

(My Love, My Bride)

(Jo Jung-suk)

My sweet Mi-young, I will make you happy.

(Shin Min-a)

(A handsome pianist!)

Don't worry, Mi-young. I will make you happy.

I believe in you, Young-min.

(Housewarming Party)

Try to focus at work although you will miss me lots.

Coochie Coochie Coo!

You forgot your bag!

Right, my bag... I can't help it!

This is the arm bar technique.

Need to cook your dinner...

No bright card, no animal card

and I went for the third 'Go'.

Make a choice. One big hit or several small ones?

A big one!

All right, better be prepared for a really big shot!

It is a double!

What is wrong?

Are you hurt?

It is gone.

- Let's go to work. - I remember today is Sunday.

Not working for me. Go to work!

I will go shopping with my mom later.

She asked me to pick a coat.

I will have eel rice for lunch.

Lots and lots of eels!

For my stamina!

- Stamina! - Great lord!

Save it to yourselves. You are torturing a lonely woman.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

You were so hot all through the night.

I am quite sensitive to the sound.

The place is well soundproofed, but still, I could hear you.

Sorry, we watched the ball game last night.

I don't blame you for being passionately in love.

But please be considerate of my babies...

We only watched the ball game on TV.

Seriously, we only watched the ball game last night.

Ball game it is, then.

Go ahead.

- Mi-young! - Yes? Sure.

Damn ball game.

I want to watch the ball game, too.

With someone very loudly!

We hate it when someone smiles

at his phone for no reason.

I was searching for something.

I let you off the hook as you got just married.

But now you reached the limit.

No more than 3 months.

I got it.

Take a tour with your survey at the community welfare center.

Yes, ma'am!

By the way...

What?

About the personnel reinforcement...

Says a person who stares at his phone all day?

I love your shamelessness.

(Got the special bedding, hurry home!)

- Mr. Kim Young-min! - I didn't look at the phone.

Can I file the moving-in report here?

Are you... Seung-hee?

I heard you were in New York.

After living abroad for a long time,

I felt like living in a traditional house.

I also heard you earn huge royalty!

Stop it, it is embarrassing.

Don't be embarrassed.

You like poetry and music.

Lyricist is the perfect fit for you.

You liked them both.

Do you still write poems?

You always said that you would be a poet.

Now I'm embarrassed.

Why? I liked your poems.

Can still quote a few verses.

Really?

No reason to lie.

This is where you live.

Hey.

Any plan for tonight? It is Friday night.

- Tonight? - Right, you are a married man.

- Should be home early, I guess. - No, not at all.

(Sorry, I can't take your call right now.)

We are quite independent.

Respecting each other's privacy.

Good. Let's have a get-together in a while!

Shall we...?

Why don't you pick up the phone?

You might lose your job hanging onto your phone like that.

- What is this? - It is for her boyfriend.

Don't you realize you have got less than a month till the exam?

You don't intend to attend an art high school?

I'm thinking of going to regular high to focus on study.

Then don't waste your time here. Go to prep school instead.

And stop torturing me.

I will have it in temporary custody.

And you are not done till you finish the apple.

It is not finished yet!

Damn... you are not even a real teacher.

Right, so I have nothing to lose.

You have to draw this, too.

Don't bluff... she won't let you! Isn't it too late?

Sure we can! Let me call her first.

So Jung-jin has married for two years.

Ki-tae has been married twice. And Dal-soo you are...

He has done my share. So I'm still single.

- One and only here. - Right.

You are single. And I'm a returned single.

What a diversity we have.

I envy you the most. Don't ever get married.

Why do you keep saying it to me?

You are not the only one. I'm saying it to everyone.

To save them from hell.

But Young-min doesn't seem to be in hell.

- He must do lots of good stuffs. - Good stuffs?

You know.

- You are a hopeless scumbag. - People never change.

What is taking him so long? Gone for cooking or what?

Housewarming party?

How can I prepare it at this hour?

Didn't you tell me to wait in leopard lingerie?

I'm so sorry. I love you, Mi-young.

But please do this for me. You should do this!

They claim that I am under a wife's thumb like them.

But you know that I'm not. You are not an awful tyrant.

I could not let them denounce you.

I need to show them our happy marriage!

What are you talking about?

This was not something I waited all day for!

Just order some Chinese...

And pigs' feet maybe... Also some beer?

Nevermind. I will buy the beer. It will be too heavy for you.

Whatever!

Sorry, honey. I love you so much, Mi-young!

Why is it taking you so long?

- Okonomiyaki? - What?

- You really don't have to... - What is this nonsense?

Got it, as it is your specialty. We will be right there!

- What okonomiyaki? - See you!

- Hello? Young-min! - Okonomiyaki sounds good.

She is a great cook.

- So? Can we or can't we? - Of course, we can!

Let's hurry!

Okonomiyaki tastes best at the bar...

The bar inspires your writing...

- Waiting for hubby? - Good evening.

Watching a ball game again?

When does the season end?

No, he is unexpectedly bringing the visitors,

so I ordered some food.

The delivery guys must be lost.

Your husband is fearless to bring people home at this hour.

That is what I mean.

But would the delivery do enough?

Even if it's a short-notice visit, your husband may lose face.

You never get old, Seung-hee!

The flowers get faded in front of your beauty.

They all withered.

- Cut the crap! - Isn't it so lovely?

- Do you like the color? - Yes, perfect.

- Good. - You have a taste.

Do you mean it?

Hon... you have been waiting for us?

Oh, you are here already.

How do you do?

- Good evening. - It has been a while.

It is for you. Sorry I missed your wedding.

This is Seung-hee, a famous lyricist.

Remember?

I told you about her a lot.

Sure, you did. Except for the part...

Our expectations are really high.

Did he say that I'm a man?

No, I must have misunderstood as he called you bro.

- She used to be! - Stop it!

Yes, we are like real brothers.

Known each other forever.

Except I have got no balls.

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.

- This is our landlady. - Hello, ma'am.

- And these are my... - I know... bros.

You are a brother from now on!

- We will behave. Excuse us. - Go ahead.

Heard you prepared a feast for us?

You really didn't have to...

Young-min always brags about your cooking.

- Our expectations are high. - Yes, thanks.

Shall we go in?

Please go ahead. I have to make a call.

- Right, let's get in! - No, no.

- Yes, yes! - Let's wait for her.

Let's move fast! Move, move!

- Is this 372-1? - Right.

Smoked and spicy pigs' feet, one each, right?

Right.

Delivery! Spicy chicken. Plus, sweet and sour pork.

Is it the right order?

Yeah...

Bring them to the 2nd floor.

It is an endless feast!

Didn't they have dinner?

Like they had starved for weeks!

So annoying.

Don't do that!

You stay still.

Is he a nut or what?

It is my wedding photo!

My sweet and sour endorphin, give me your love.

Everybody scream!

It is my turn to sing.

- What? - Your bombs are so good!

- Want a slow jam or a fast track? - You are such a bomb mixer.

Why do you guys do this to me?

It sounds like cursing. Creepy!

You even sing well!

Thank you, Mi-young. Love you, Mi-young.

Leave me alone.

Kill me, Mi-young.

- They will be here all night? - No way, they should go.

Their wives are tyrants, unlike my sweet Mi-young.

You are all mouth.

Seung-hee said your okonomiyaki is so good.

Better than the famous one she had in New York.

She compared it to Japanese food in New York.

Please join us, Mi-young.

- You must be tired. - She is okay.

I'm okay, please have fun.

The food is really good!

Yes, especially the pigs' feet are great!

What? Better than the ones in my neighborhood!

Mi-young!

Why don't you sing for us?

We are not at the talent show. Why sing in front of the people?

We all did!

What does it make us then?

It is not what she meant. She really hates singing.

Not to mention in public. And she is a terrible singer.

It is not polite to force her to do what she is bad at.

- Sorry, we are a bit wicked. - We are wicked.

- You don't have to do it. - Yes.

I will sing. Not a big deal.

Way to go, Mi-young!

One, two, we are testing.

She is so lovely!

She asked us to stay, how come we are leaving!

- It might upset her feelings. - Sure, come in. Stay.

Here we go! We should stay.

It won't upset her, not a bit!

- How are you so sure? - I am sure!

You sure you will be okay?

No problem. She does whatever pleases me.

Call me if you are in trouble.

My couch is all yours.

Right.

Good night.

Thanks for tonight, Mi-young.

(Love you, Mi-young)

(Nagging)

Hello, is this Ms. Park Gye-ja?

This is the Samcheong-dong community service center.

Community service center.

Community...

Well, calling from a town office. Right.

I'm calling you to inform

you are now qualified to be a basic livelihood beneficiary...

A basic livelihood beneficiary.

Let me put it this way...

Do you have any children nearby?

Your son or daughter.

Do you have one? Good!

No no no, not doughnut!

Your daughter!

d-a-u-g-h-t-e-r, daughter.

No, we are not giving you a doughnut!

Actually, we are giving you other things...

after I check several things

with your daughter on the phone...

No, I'm not saying she is on the run.

Ma'am... let's do this.

Let me call you later.

No. I said I will call again.

Yes, bye for now.

No one is stopping you here. Please let us work, we are busy.

Quiet or I give you a hard time!

You are full of crap! Doing work? Neh!

Ta-da!

Oh, here comes dear Chief Kim.

We are serving the country here.

Please go home first and take some rest.

What is this?

It is for the taxi.

No kidding.

It is not even close. I would like to order a deluxe taxi.

So that they could live on my money!

Here are 10 bucks.

Now we are talking.

Make him an example, you jerks.

I love you, Chief Kim.

- Likewise. - See you soon.

(The one who gave me butterflies, the one who gets me nervous)

Mi-young. A cup of coffee, please!

Young-min!

I asked you million times already

to pee with the toilet lid up.

Oh, Sorry.

Old habit...

You never wrote me a letter.

Now you get poetic sentiments?

Don't wear sweatpants

when you are going out!

Didn't I tell you to throw away this worn-out shirt?

What would people think of me letting you wear this garbage?

Do you know what the landlady said to me the other day?

You just killed my ideas!

Told you hundred times to tidy up once you are done!

Am I married or parenting?

- Don't be too late. - Why am I always the one to nag?

- What? - Can you do it before I tell you?

You are stubborn like a kid.

Isn't this bothering you?

Not at all.

Should we call it off?

Yeah, let's stop.

Don't. Let's sleep.

- Please don't, I'm tired. - I am, too.

But we have to overcome difficult times

by uniting our bodies...

I'm not really in the mood.

Go to sleep.

Why did you take off my clothes

if you are not up to it?

I didn't take them off. You did it yourself.

Put the pants back on!

I will be the one who suffers if you catch a cold.

Ms. Oh?

Oh my! What are you doing here?

Been to a friend's wedding and felt like a movie.

This is my husband.

This is Jun-soo working at the same art institute.

He was my junior at college. I told you about him.

Did you?

I don't recall though...

You are on a date? Newlyweds...

What you see is not what you get.

I begged him to come.

He might believe you!

Why not? It is true.

What time is your show?

If I had known I would meet you,

I never would have been married, Che Guevara.

I thought he was your father.

How tall is he?

5.7 ft. he said, but I never buy it.

He looks much smaller because of the bad proportion.

What is this smell?

Did you take the subway?

You smell like it.

I had no other option.

I came in my BMW.

Could only dream about it.

He is a minor civil servant.

Not so smart for a guy who has such a big head.

How is he at night?

Simply rubbish!

- Can I help you, sir? - What?

There are customers who have troubles with this.

- Look. - Yes?

- I am good. - Excuse me?

I am good at it!

How about you? Seeing anyone?

- Kind of... I'm dating Jin. - Really?

- Great! - Don't tell anyone. Promise.

- Of course. - Hush, hush.

Did you get them?

What took you so long?

My head is big but my brain is not.

Pleasure meeting you. Please take good care of her.

None of your business.

He is joking, sorry.

You are too tall.

Definitely blocking the sight of the person behind you.

Sorry,

my legs are longer than they seem.

I'm so sorry.

We will have not only crab meat soup

but also pork and chicken.

Just two black noodles, please.

Two black noodles.

You said I can have anything I want!

- Do you know Che Guevara? - Che Guevara?

- Do you know where he is from? - He is a Cuban.

So ignorant!

- Where is he from then? - Won't tell you.

- What? - Google it.

The internet is not just for online shopping.

- What is wrong with you today? - What?

- Did I do something wrong? - Nope.

What was it then earlier?

In the cinema, I was abashed.

- So embarrassed. - Did I embarrass you?

Sure, you did.

Why laughed at the kiss scene?

What is wrong with laughing? Should I cry to see

a couple making out?

Hell...

She doesn't realize at all what she did wrong.

She flirted with a stranger in front of her husband.

And keeps a secret with him?

Hush, hush?

Look at her eating like a pig.

It kills my appetite.

Is it delicious? Is it that good?

Damn it!

What are you doing?

Pardon?

What the heck is wrong with you?

Damn it is hot!

He just went out without eating.

Is it a hunger protest or what?

Where did he go?

Don't care. Should be drinking with bros.

With that young kid! In my presence!

- Did they make out? - They talked, just a talk!

- Having a talk is good. - The talk's topic is important.

He is such a miser to my family.

When we visit his parents, he prepares 300 bucks in cash.

But for my folks, he brings a 100 bucks gift certificate!

And always looks for freebies from my parents.

She hates me writing poems, what is worse is...

she refuses to doing it!

Do you still have the tissues left,

we gave you at the housewarming party?

It is already gone.

Then your sweet days are officially over.

It is how it works in marriage. His side takes, your side gives.

That is how we become to hate everything related to the husband.

Yes, I totally agree with you.

Most of all,

I hate his hobby best! Damn poetry!

I mastered the skill to switch

my wife with a hot actress.

At night, with my imagination.

I'm awesome, huh? Can you get it?

I'm not like you!

Kyung-mi's husband got stomach cancer. Stage 3.

What? How come?

He is still young.

It is all because of stress.

So, don't push your hubby too much.

I heard the second most stressful job is

a social welfare worker.

Really?

Hey, my girl wants me. I should go.

Right, bye.

What is he doing in this weather?

It pours.

You should not be out at this hour.

The world is too dangerous

for a beautiful girl like you.

Bah...

Cover up your neck, it is chilly.

What would I feel if you walked out on me like that?

- I am sorry, I'm the bad thing. - No.

You are a good thing.

You didn't have to repeat 'thing'.

You must be hungry.

I only had three fish cakes.

Fish cakes?

I told you to eat properly.

- Should I make some noodles? - Like that.

Oh, I googled Che Guevara.

- Did you? - Yes, he is from Argentina.

My girl is way too smart!

Don't treat me like a baby.

You are not a baby. No baby can be this hot.

Do you know you are a lucky guy?

I'm so lucky... lucky me!

(Possessed by an obscene demon)

What is wrong with me?

I'm still a newlywed. Has boredom already set in?

Nonsense! I'm still in love with my wife!

Then why the urge of doing other women hits me like crazy?

Look at those legs...

Why am I like this?

I'm like a rutting mutt. No taste or whatever...

I liked pure and innocent girls!

I sure did. Wake up, Young-min.

- Chief. - What? I didn't look at...

I was making a copy...

Pardon?

I tried to call all the seniors living alone listed here.

Two of them never answered.

Why do I want to impress this plain young kid?

Ji-hye.

Do you know where Che Guevara's from?

- Chegueva? - Yes, what?

What is that? Is it like guava?

Why the hell

do I want to impress an ignorant girl like her?

They are not answering?

Mr. Pan Mok-won, 78 and Ms. Lee Young-lim, 83.

I called them 3 times for 2 days but they never answered.

Let's call a few times more and if they don't answer,

- I will visit the domicile. - All right.

What a jerk... these seniors might be dying!

But all you care about is the breasts of this ignorant kid.

You are a scumbag, an animal!

This is Viagra Salve by Dr. Jones!

It is an exclusive gift for you. From your best friend.

Viagra? How much do we take one time?

You son of a biscuit!

Spit it out! It can kill you!

I said it is a salve! You ignorant jackass!

- It looks mayonnaise to you? - Ah, salve... I get it.

- I'm sorry, dude. - Give me that!

This is a good thing. Let me try it on you.

Even though I doubt you need it.

I don't need this. I would rather need

an anti-Viagra thing.

Why is that?

I get to want to do it with any girl at first sight.

You finally got a stranger alert!

How do all the married men deal with this?

- Are you like that? - Kidding? I am so like that.

And you are okay with it?

I feel like I'm being an animal. I hate myself.

It is very natural and human.

Stop rubbing!

- It can kill you. - No way!

- Hello. - Honey, I'm at mom's house.

Again?

- What? - She is at her mom's house.

So you are off duty tonight?

Dudes, I'm really restless.

How about the 2nd round at my place?

Cut the crap! Now you got a whole night to write poems.

I really feel that I should not be alone tonight.

Wake him up! Dal-soo!

Dude! Wake up!

- Damn! - Why?

It hurts... so bad!

It got jammed!

Why? Why?

Why?

What are you doing?

Hands off!

You should not do this.

Please don't do this to me!

Please don't.

Young-min!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I'm off duty...

No, what I meant...

I just felt like walking.

- You did? - Yes.

Do you know why I quit writing poems?

No, I don't.

I got too lonely.

Should I move a bit closer?

If she doesn't like it,

I can pretend I was joking.

Look at her body. So nice and slim.

She even wrote quite erotic lyrics.

She would not take one night stand too seriously?

I am still lonely.

And she is saying herself that she is lonely blah-blah.

Let's start with holding hands.

Words can be so lively.

in a simple plain sentence.

Yes, they are.

Look at her. She doesn't push away?

And then... shall I move to the next stage?

I can introduce you to some composers if you like.

I had a crush on you.

What?

You are beautiful.

What is with you?

You are beautiful tonight.

I'm sorry, so sorry.

Give me a minute.

What? Why is it so easy?

Wait.

Can I be this instinctive?

And what about Mi-young?

- You may come in. - Yes!

It is not manners to say no to a girl who's so ready!

Yes, show some courtesy!

I used to love her once.

Or I might be still in love.

Quick!

Damn innerwear! Let go of me!

Damn winter innerwear!

Let go!

Oops, I am sorry!

Are you okay?

Sure.

I love you, Mi-young.

Hey you.

Go off me, would you?

Listen to me, Seung-hee!

You scared me!

Are you coming home now?

What are you doing in this early morning?

Dumping the waste.

At this hour?

All the cats in the neighborhood seem to be horny.

Can't sleep at all.

Go up quick. Your wife must be worried.

- Let's keep it quiet though. - Yes, ma'am.

- Is the baseball season over? - Yes, yes.

(Stopping in that manner was better for us.)

(Let's stay as friends, bro! :))

(Sure. Good night, bro.)

(All the messages to be deleted)

(First Love)

Mi-young!

- Coming home now? - Hello.

- The bill for water. - Oh...

What is up lately?

I'm quite swamped at work.

It is an entrance exam season.

You didn't raise your voice last night though.

What?

I expected it to be noisy

as your husband came home at dawn.

He did?

I went to bed early.

He came in almost in the morning.

I see.

He must be busy at work, too.

What kind of work requires drinking on duty?

Look at you. You got freckles!

No way! I'm still young for that.

- Impossible. - They you are surely freckles.

What comes next when you already have freckles?

It will go away, I must have got too much sunlight yesterday.

You should take good care of yourself. Look at me.

I'm old but still called beauty as I have fair skin.

Mom is a fair skin beauty.

Should get going. Bye.

Auntie has freckles, She needs some care.

Mom is a skin beauty.

Auntie is a beauty of freckles.

- What are you doing? - Posting images on social media.

I never get to understand the people doing social media.

Why not?

Why are you trying to disclose your privacy

and share it with strangers?

Did you drink last night?

What?

Yeah, briefly with the pals.

You told me you ate dinner that I prepared.

Yes, I had it...

When I got home early after a drink with the pals.

I see. You came home early.

Sure.

How is your poem?

It goes fine.

Sleep tight.

Yes, ma'am.

She is already good at shadows and water.

There is not much I could advise on those.

No reason for me to treat students unequally.

What?

Incentives?

Oh, no. I don't expect those.

Well, I got your point.

Gotta go as I have a class now.

I'm not being impolite, ma'am.

Hello? Ma'am?

Hello? Hello!

- Director talked a lot about you. - You know him...

Ms. Oh, come in.

This is Ms. Yoo In-young who studied the arts in France.

She is a curator at a national gallery.

I know. We went college together.

- Nice to see you again. - What brought you here?

She has a special lecture for your class today.

Please assist her.

Do you like teaching kids?

Did you quit painting?

Done with the painting?

Well...

Got it. You should make a living.

Can I ask you something?

Are you still in touch with Sung-woo?

Who?

It is so unexpected to hear that name,

especially from you.

We broke up right away.

He wanted to get back to you.

Let's not talk about the past.

You can find his details on the Internet.

He is staging a musical.

Shall we go together?

Would it be a little awkward?

You can go if you like. I don't feel like it.

(Choi Sung-woo Musical Director/Theatre CEO)

(Reserve Tickets)

(First Love)

(A number of tickets)

(Going to see a musical with Eun-jung)

Hi, it is me.

Where are you?

You are visiting your in-laws?

I'm your mommy's friend. Can I talk to her?

Oh, she is with daddy.

The number you dialed is under the international roaming service.

Roaming?

Said she is penniless.

Any style do you have in mind?

Just make me look younger.

Having a blind date?

Nice.

Are you free at 3 p.m. today?

Excuse me?

No, nothing.

Wait a minute.

Please leave a message after the beep.

Why? Someone is not answering?

I can't reach my wife.

She must be seeing someone else.

It was great, Sung-woo!

Congratulations!

- Do you have time to eat? - Sure.

- Allow me to take you to supper. - No, let me.

Thank you.

I will be right back, In-young.

Mi-young!

You are Mi-young, right?

Hey, that is my mask!

Thank god you are finally here!

Why are you so late?

Mi-young.

Is that you, Sung-woo?

What are you doing here?

I'm working part-time here.

At this theatre?

We can meet often then. I'm staging a musical here.

I just quit today.

Oh... that was your musical.

Why did you quit?

- It was not my kind of stuff... - Your kind...

You have not changed a bit.

Stop flattering.

My husband always complains I'm changed.

You are married?

Is he good to you?

Kind of...

The first song of your musical,

was not it the one you requested to a radio program for me?

Did I?

But you said you have not seen it.

No, it is just...

I could hear from outside. The theatre must be old.

Right...

What is the look on his face?

Does he know I'm lying?

Or is he looking at the freckles? Should I come clean?

Your...

- nose is bleeding. - What?

Here it goes.

You didn't have to do this.

I remember your nose did bleed often.

Even several times a day.

Not anymore. It has been 10 years since last time.

Right, I remember.

You rushed out to buy a T-shirt saying my white blouse

should not get stained with blood.

Did I?

Don't you remember?

You bought me a red one to cover the blood color.

I can't recall. Maybe since it has been too long.

Sure, it was long ago.

I should go.

Already? Hold on.

This is my number.

The show was great. Way to go!

You didn't see it, did you?

I mean... it must be great!

Hi, Eun-jung.

I might start painting again.

In-young asked me

why I don't paint anymore.

You know what?

I thought I was painting.

I considered myself painting

when I was only correcting kids' with that pencil in my hand.

You can start it over.

Sure... I can.

But I don't know what to draw.

What is wrong? Had a dispute with hubby?

It became our routine. We are arguing every day.

He might not like me around him anymore.

I don't seem to be a big deal in his life.

What is the issue?

When your nose bleeds, does he no longer buy you a red T-shirt?

when your nose bleeds?

Right...

He was the one who bought it for me.

How can you forget that?

He even sent a song request to the radio for you.

Right.

I didn't say it to you. But I was so jealous!

I must be crazy.

Listen.

I don't know about others.

But you surely are a big deal in my life.

Thanks, my friend.

Here it is.

Thank you.

So long Choi Sung-woo.

I wish you the best.

Looks awful.

I'm home.

Why ramyeon? I cooked you rice.

Warming the stew is that difficult for you?

Very kind of you.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

Where is the kimchi that your mom brought last time?

That is why you called me? For kimchi?

Because you were being late.

Also my mom kept calling to ask us to visit.

The restaurant was too noisy so I didn't hear it. Sorry.

So easy and simple.

I left the memo saying I would see the musical with Eun-jung.

- You drank? - Yes.

Very nice and proper for women till this late.

Only with her?

What is wrong with you?

What would you think if I pried into your privacy?

No use as I always tell you everything.

Good. Then where were you when I slept at my mother's?

After you drank with your buddies.

Don't remember.

How come? It is only days before.

Landlady said...

you came home almost at dawn.

Unbelievable.

Everyone in this block is one big family!

Landlady checking when the tenant comes home!

Then how about you?

- Huh? - What about me?

You flirted with a stranger in my presence!

- Hell, when? - The day...

we went to the movies.

You mean me talking to Jun-soo? He is my colleague.

How the hell should I know?

I introduced him to you.

And told you I taught him when he was in high school.

He is just a kid.

A kid is 6 ft. tall?

Then you must be still a kid as your height is around 5 ft.

5.7 to be exact.

Let's call things off. You are acting like a child.

And don't change the subject.

Something happened that day. I can feel it.

How many times have I told you to wash dishes when you are done!

That is how other husbands do!

Then you should have married with one of them!

Mi-young.

Open the door, please.

You say I smelled like booze.

- I should wash it off. - But...

if you slam the door like that, what should I feel?

How about my feeling?

Have you ever thought of it?

You don't know how much I tried to come home smiling.

What is happening to us lately?

It is too much for me to handle.

Why are you acting like this?

Me? I think it is you! What is wrong with you?

You need me only when you eat and have sex.

When you can't find kimchi! That is when you need me!

Am I wrong?

I got it.

You are bleeding.

Let me see.

What a temper...

My bad. I'm sorry.

What have you done wrong?

(Choi Sung-woo)

He looks damn sly.

Done with fighting?

I'm sorry for being too noisy.

No, I have got used to it now.

I wish I had someone to argue with.

By the way, did anything happen?

No.

It is always me.

You got caught having an affair!

No way!

Please don't say that to her even as a joke!

I won't! I don't poke into other people's business.

Then is it her having an affair?

No!

Then it is good.

Good night, ma'am.

You must have exhausted fighting.

Sleep well holding each other tight.

- Ma'am. - Yes?

I believe the first love really means to women?

Unforgettable...

Someone says there is no one first love for women.

For a woman, the first love is not the first man she loved.

But the first memory of the man

she loves now.

Just saying...

Where have you been?

Did I wake you up?

Sorry.

What happened to you today?

It surely was a strange day.

Your first love at the university...

the guy who did the theater.

Choi Sung-woo?

How did you two break up?

Why do you ask now?

I think you told me before but cannot recall.

Maybe it can give me some ideas for a poem.

The new love came...

You know, I met you...

Then he came back saying

he wanted to turn everything back.

What a fool.

We were young.

Then?

You know the story.

I was in love with you.

Mi-young.

Why don't we go on a picnic?

To where?

Anywhere.

- Anywhere? - Yes.

Anywhere...

sounds good.

(I love you, Mi-young)

The phone was not ringing at all

but I didn't suspect I had no connection.

The plug is too old and broken.

I was worried so much!

I am sorry to make the busy one to come all the way.

No way!

Golden wedding means 50th anniversary, right?

So impressive.

But if we put aside the time raising the children

and her staying sick in bed,

we didn't spend much together.

Are these poetry books all yours?

The young generation nowadays does not care about the poetry.

- Do you read some? - Yes, I like them.

You have got Shim Je-hyu's collection?

Isn't it the first edition?

This is so hard to get! And Rimbaud,

Yeats and Dickens...

All very rare ones as they are all out of print!

You can have them if you want.

Do you mean it?

It would be great.

But these are too precious...

Standing there alone

I finally realized the spring has come.

(Pan Mok-won)

Grandpa...

Are you Mr. Pan Mok-won? The poet?

- Well... - Wow!

Grandpa... no, sir!

I am a huge fan of your work!

Don't call me that.

It is my honor for you to recognize

my humble works.

Oh, my goodness. I can't believe this!

(Samcheong-dong community service center)

Are you going to Grandpa Pan's house?

Sure, to get some advice for my work!

I think you are a nut!

- What? - Oh my goodness!

Writing poetry thing... Can't believe it.

Want to submit it to the literary contest?

That is what I'm thinking

but I'm not sure if I'm qualified.

Your poetry is good.

Really?

But if the poem is too glamourous or too complicated,

it is difficult for the readers to get it.

I put in too many tricks, didn't I?

Jae-kyung was looking for you.

Why?

She said you hold her thing...

His birthday is tomorrow!

Wait. I am sure I put it here.

I didn't throw it away.

How can I draw it all over?

Are you... crying?

Do not draw my pimples.

Focus on your study. That is why I am doing this.

It is you who lost it!

My bad, my bad.

Don't be so difficult.

It has been a while since I completed something!

Good luck with your first love!

Look! It is the sea!

- Do you like it? - It has been too long!

Wasn't it a good idea to come here?

Good job on renting a car too!

Thank you, honey. I love you, Young-min!

- I love you, Mi-young! - I love it!

I love you, Mi-young.

- The weather is great! - Ta-da!

- What is this? - I bought it for you.

- Isn't it pretty? - What happened to you?

- Tell me it is pretty! - How much did you pay?

Do you want to measure one's heart with the price?

It is just I am allergic to metal.

I can only wear gold or silver.

Do you know anything about me?

I know everything!

Your sight, sizes for shirts and pants,

even cholesterol levels!

- I know something too. - Then tell me!

Your breast is size A.

- You think this is size A? - Sure.

From now on,

my breasts are the no-go area for your hands!

It is like a death sentence to me!

- I have got a call. - You have got a call?

- Yes. - Honey!

Hello. Yes, speaking.

Really?

I see. Thank you.

What is it?

What?

I am selected for Modern Poetry New Figure Prize!

Sir!

Why are you outside...

You dress up so nicely today!

Want to take you to the nice place.

Wow, it looks great!

Thank you!

Please pay in advance.

Oh, yes...

No, it is on me.

- Please... - Let me...!

Thank you.

I wanted to take you to a nice place for a celebration.

No, I really wanted to have this!

Help yourself.

You cannot imagine how much I enjoyed talking to you.

You helped me to write

and also encouraged me a lot.

I was grateful for you coming to see me.

I will bother you much more from now on!

My pleasure.

Now you are a poet.

So keep up the good work.

Of course.

Life is indeed a poem

and a poem is the cause of life,

but do not let the poetry take away what matters to you.

Poetry exists for what is precious to you.

That is what I feel now.

Once my wife left me,

I had thoughts...

First of all, I would like to thank the jury

for giving me this great prize. It is an honor.

And I believe you surely have eyes for the poetry.

Receiving the award, I questioned myself.

The writers are the seekers to realize

- Too tacky. - the essence of everything.

It is not winning a Nobel Prize.

Life and philosophy are...

Let's wear this.

My sister sent this as a gift.

It is a designer's brand!

- Wow! - Be careful.

I will do it myself.

Shall we buy this house?

With what?

- With your cash prize, 3 grand? - Who knows?

I could be a world-renowned poet.

Calm down. And do not ever think of quitting

your job at the town office saying you want to focus on writing.

It is now called a community service center.

- My apology. - Apology accepted.

Preparing the speech is tougher than writing poetry.

Goethe said...

a good poem becomes a song for children,

philosophy for the young,

and... life for the old.

Wow, dear Mi-young!

Please help me with this.

I am impressed!

I did some research as the wife of a poet.

Yes, as you can see...

I live with this wonderful wife.

I should enter the spring literary contest next year!

Honey, how do I look?

Isn't it too much? Your lips.

It seems tacky as it is too much.

The wife of a poet

should be elegant and have some taste.

I must not go.

I don't feel like it actually.

I know nothing about poetry and feel awkward to go.

Are you upset?

I just wanted to help you...

I am not.

It is your mother.

Hello!

Yes, I'm really proud of him.

I will send you a photo of him as soon as the ceremony is done!

- Bye. - Bye, mom!

Let's go! Hurry!

I'm so nervous. I don't know what it is.

Water, please.

Are you Ms. Kim Min-ju?

No.

This table is only for the award winners.

- Sit at the back table. - Sure.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

How come he mistook me for that old lady...

Young-min, congratulations!

- Thank you. - You look great.

Let us begin the Modern Literature Awards.

First, let me announce the winners for the poetry.

Runner-up for the poetry, Kim Young-min.

Kim Young-min!

Let's hear the acceptance speech.

Thank you.

I don't know what the poem is yet...

but Goethe once said...

a good poem becomes a song for children,

philosophy for the young,

and for the grown-ups... no, for the old...

- Life. - and the life for the old.

I would try hard to write a good poem like that.

Lastly, I would like to dedicate this

to Poet Pan Mok-won, who inspired and helped me most.

Thank you.

Very nice! Go Young-min!

Great. I need a hug too.

(Modern Poetics)

(Marriage by Kim Young-min)

(As the sharp noise wakes me up,)

(the despair of being two sheds my blood)

Why are you here?

It is too stuffy inside. Wanted to get some fresh air.

Right, it was a bit hot.

I guess you feel bad...

even if you understand it as the artistic expression...

but the description of you was awful.

I am totally okay.

But I believe it is great to be a subject for someone.

What an artist.

Who do you think you are? Push off!

I think you should get this.

I think he got a heart attack

and has been dead for a few days.

Are you a social worker?

Yes.

Have you contacted his family?

There is no one to call...

(Essays written by Pi Cheon-deuk )

- Hey. - I'm home.

How about dinner?

Not yet.

Do you know any doctor?

My stomach has been killing me lately.

Dinner is ready.

Yeah.

Try this.

I found the recipe in the book.

How is it?

Not for me.

How is it? I didn't put any seasoning.

Instead, I used only the ground shrimp.

Please put the seasoning! Why not?

As it is not good for your health.

- You don't want to eat? - No.

Don't feel like eating actually.

Is it that urgent? You should eat.

Need to finish it by tomorrow morning.

It is for the Quarterly of the city government.

But you need to eat first...

Honey, I have a pain in my stomach...

You think I should go to see the doctor?

Do you hear me?

Now the idea is gone as you keep talking to me!

Going out to get a cigarette. Need anything?

Young-min...

How dare...

Honey.

You should not have touched them

if you didn't know what these are.

Or at least should have told me once you moved them.

I... How could you...

You hate others

moving your own stuffs!

You should have at least asked me

or should not have touched them at all!

Why are you so arbitrary? It is not garbage!

- How dare you! - Please, Young-min...

Hello, Mi-young.

- Ma... - Hello?

- Please help! - Mi-young!

What happened? Tell me!

Oh, my, what is wrong?

Are you alone? Where is your husband?

(Emergency Medical Center)

Mi-young, please...

Ms. Oh Mi-young's guardian?

- Ms. Oh's guardian? - Here!

It is fibroid.

Fibroid?

She got lots of cysts in her womb...

but it is quite usual for many women.

But in Ms. Oh's case, she needs to get the surgery

as the cyst is in a bad location.

A surgery? Isn't it dangerous?

No, but it would be really painful.

And she cannot eat, either.

Young-min.

Mother.

Take her to the laboratory

while I am doing the registration.

- I won't go with him. - What is with you?

- I just don't want that. - Don't act like a child.

Oh my, I left my bag in the emergency room.

Are you okay?

Feeling better?

- Leave before mom returns. - How can I?

Go finish your great poem.

I was sensitive back then...

I am sensitive too.

You should have told me when you were sick.

Like I didn't?

Can we call this a marriage?

Why do we live together? Feeling ill at ease.

Feeling ill?

I want to give it a second thought.

To what?

To everything.

- I can't live like this. - What do you want to say?

It hurts me so bad and also I feel embarrassed.

So you are telling me you want a divorce or what?

Why not?

You...

We will talk more later.

Get out of here.

(Mother-in-law: Surgery is the day after tomorrow.)

(So come by tomorrow.)

(I am on my daughter's side.)

Yes, Mother-in-law.

I came home just now.

No, I need to do some work first...

She needs underwear

and lip balm... Lip what?

Why needs a lip balm in the hospital?

I will bring them.

It would be difficult to go there early in the morning.

I will stop by after work.

Good night.

Mi-young. A cup of coffee, please.

You must be Mr. Na Jun-o.

Sorry I'm late. The traffic was so bad.

Nice to meet you.

No way. It is fine.

I was reading a book so I was not bored at all.

Which book?

This?

The collection of poems by Reiner Maria Rilke.

By any chance, do you like Rilke?

I'm not that easy. It takes time for me to fall for someone.

I see.

Sky-blue goes well with you.

Is this called sky-blue?

Yes, it looks good on you.

Thank you.

- Shall we go out? - Pardon?

I know a nice Italian restaurant in this neighborhood.

And I'm starving.

Do you mind having pasta for lunch?

- Well... I don't... - Let's go now.

- Now? - Yes.

- You mean right now? - Sure.

- Going out? - Yes, this way.

- What kind of pasta do you like? - Me? I like Aglio...

Young-min.

- Ogli... I like Aglio e Ogli... - Right.

Are you holding my hand?

Yes, I am quite short-tempered.

Me too!

You do? Please hurry.

- Why do we run? - Let me carry your bag!

Young-min! What is it?

Are you okay?

Wait for me!

Damn it is hot!

(It's getting worse)

(The day he surprised me with a proposal)

(Let's live happily ever after!)

(We are here in Cafe in Sokcho after getting married!)

Do you want to break up?

Is it what you want?

Then why did you say that?

You should have told me not to if I said I wanted a break-up.

You are over thirty and still don't know that?

Then what shall you say when you really want to break up?

Don't know.

Since it would never happen.

I just meant that I was lonely.

Being lonely doesn't mean that you are alone.

It is terrifying to feel lonely while you are with someone.

Life is indeed a poem

and a poem is the cause of life,

but do not let the poetry take away what matters to you.

Poetry exists for what is precious to you.

Hi, Eun-jung.

Mr. Pan was the doyen of poets

who our community service center took care of.

He was really kind...

He even treated me the rice soup.

He was... I'm sorry.

Give me your hand.

Gosh, it is cold.

It is hot.

Are you hurt?

- Please bring some water! - Why is it so hot?

Are you okay?

- What are you doing? - I was just passing by.

At this early hour?

Yes...

Your bed was...

Someone moved out. It is better by the window.

I see.

- You feel better now? - Yes.

I didn't know what you were going through.

That is what I wanted to say.

- But I said it first. - I should have...

- I'm sorry. - It is okay.

I am sorry.

I really...

Really what?

I love you, Mi-young.

Did it take you so long to say it?

I'm your first love.

Yes, you are.

There is something I wanted to show you.

What do you think?

Pretty, isn't it?

Yes, very pretty.

Won't let go of your hand. I will try harder.

I love you, Mi-young.

I love you, too, Young-min.

How long do I have to wait? Please!

Hold on just a little longer.

Wait a bit more, my sweetie.

What should I do?

Well, let me hold him.

Ain't I great?

Yes.

Can anyone know what love is when he talks about love?

How much more love do we need to define love?

We kept arguing after that winter...

also kept saying 'I love you.'

I still don't know what love is.

But I just want to say it over and over every day.

I love you, Mi-young.

(I am... getting married...)

(Congrat. Sorry, I'm busy.)

(Damn, the kid is crying. Send the invitation.)

(Young-min)

How could you do this to me?

(Ki-tae left the chatting room. Jung-jin left the chatting room.)

You look so pure today.

I never felt like this since I graduated high school.

You look more innocent being so quiet.
