Original subtitles

- In-su? - Yes?

- Here's today's script. - Please get a shot of Ms. Cha Mu-hee.

I'll leave a note.

When I heard we'd be visiting an opera house,

I really wanted to try these seats.

Do you like operas?

I haven't seen many.

But there's a scene in this movie I like, where they go to the opera.

Do you know Pretty Woman, the movie with Julia Roberts?

I do know that movie.

But wasn't that way before your time?

You're right. It was.

The male character in that movie is super wealthy,

so they see the opera in the most expensive seats.

Just like these.

That's why I've always wanted to try sitting in them.

Find out which opera was in the movie Pretty Woman.

- Please look it up. - Okay.

Let's play it as soon as it's ready.

La Traviata.

In that movie, they go to see Verdi's La Traviata.

This music plays again at the end, in the movie's happiest scene.

Amami, Alfredo.

Quant'io t'amo.

Quant'io t'amo.

Addio.

What was that? Was it Italian?

Was it?

Yeah, they're opera lyrics.

So she memorized them?

What do they mean?

Love me, Alfredo,

as much as I love you.

Good… bye?

Love me, Mr. Joo Ho-jin…

as much as I love you.

Goodbye.

CAN THIS LOVE BE TRANSLATED?

TEN DAYS AGO, JAPAN

Aya-chan, you're brilliant!

Uncle Hiro's been studying lately too.

I'm learning Korean.

Come find me. I'll be waiting.

If only I hadn't understood her.

But your uncle is so smart that he couldn't help it.

I'm not the kind of guy who meets someone simply because they ask me to.

Thank you.

She's one rude woman.

Kissing me without permission.

If she wanted to meet up, she should have said when and where.

Now I'm waiting anxiously.

Aya-chan.

Maybe I've been infected by a zombie virus.

So, are you flying to Italy today?

I just came to give Aya-chan her gift. Then I'll head to the airport.

How thoughtful.

And how was the shoot? Did you like?

Why would I like a zombie?

And those dates are strictly work.

It's not like I'm actually interested in her.

I was asking whether you liked Canada.

I wasn't asking if you liked that woman.

What's with you?

They kissed.

No. Honestly, it's not like that.

That zombie caught me off guard. That's all.

I see. And I'm guessing you fell for her too.

Your first love.

The older girl who was the neighborhood rebel.

Like Do Ra-mi.

Why would you bring that up?

It was the talk of the town.

The romance between the rebel girl and the pretty boy.

Do we have a Korea-Japan scandal on our hands this time?

This should be fun.

- This should be fun! - Right?

Maybe the pretty boy has fallen for a zombie this time.

CHA MU-HEE

I'll be waiting.

You're really here this time.

Hiro?

Did we come here together?

We've been together all along?

I was here alone, not with Hiro.

RECENTS YONG-U

I haven't been in touch with anyone in particular.

MESSAGES

I'LL BE WAITING

I really did text Hiro.

I guess Do Ra-mi summoned him here.

Then… what he said about me kissing him…

You asked me to come, but you don't look happy to see me.

Piecing everything together…

it seems as though I came on to you,

which is why you came all this way.

In any case,

these very fingers sent you that text,

and with these…

I made a move on you.

So fine. I'll take responsibility.

"Responsibility"?

Which is why I need to know…

Do you like me?

I guess my showing up here gave you the wrong impression.

I only came here to confirm something.

I came to see if you had lied again, and to teach you a lesson if so.

Does that mean

you don't like me?

No.

I don't like you.

Thank goodness.

That's such a relief.

Of course. There's no way you'd like me when I know how much you hate me.

Sorry for asking you such a silly question.

"Sorry"?

If I'm honest,

I had been debating whether to come to Italy.

Had I not run into you as soon as I arrived,

I might have just flown back.

Thank you for coming to meet with me.

Thank you.

"Thank you"?

In light of what has happened, I'll work even harder from now on.

I'll do my best. Absolute best!

You.

Do you like me?

Not at all, no.

I don't pick fights I can't win.

I'd be losing by liking you when you don't like me back.

I will never lose!

We've got this!

We've got this!

- Yeah. - We've got this!

That's what I'm saying. We've got this!

We've got this!

We should go.

Wait, no. I'll pay.

In Korea, the person who asks to meet usually pays the bill.

I guess you could call it

a Korean rule of sorts. Okay?

What?

But how…

Here you go.

I'm sorry that my card didn't work.

I'm sorry.

And thank you for offering me a ride since my phone is also dead.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello!

- Hello, everyone. - Hey, there!

- The front-facing camera is ready. - Let's get a wide shot…

Hiro. I have today's schedule. Could you take a look?

Looks like you'll have a lot of downtime.

Shall we do a costume change and touch-up here?

Mu-hee, your earpiece.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

Will you be in Director Kim Jae-yeong's new movie?

How did you know?

It's not decided yet. I'm still reading the script.

I'm part of the crew. It would be great to work together.

You are? I would love that.

It would be awesome.

- Are we good? - Yes, looks good.

Ms. Cha Mu-hee, can you hear me?

Ms. Cha Mu-hee?

Yes, I can hear you.

The weather's great for our first day.

I heard that good weather on the first day

means clear skies for the entire shoot.

You'll continue to have good luck the entire time you're in Italy.

Thank you.

Thanks in advance for your help, Mr. Joo.

Cameras, stand by.

All right, let's begin the Italy leg of the Romantic Trip shoot.

Our new chapter in Italy has begun.

Looks like Do Ra-mi wore this out last night.

And bought this hat.

"Lemoncello"?

Is that a lemon liqueur?

She went out drinking?

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I had a few drinks last night.

They say this entire place was a bathhouse a long time ago.

What is that?

In Korea, you buy snacks when you go to a bathhouse.

Have you heard of jjimjilbang?

- Mix. - Together.

- Mix. - Mix.

- Yay! Cheers! - Cheers!

Sure, they were awkward in Canada, but Mu-hee was all aflutter.

And there was this unspoken tension with Hiro stealing glances.

But now

they seem like two travel reporters who are best buddies.

Don't they?

What changed? Maybe they're too friendly with each other now.

You think so?

By the way, will Mr. Joo be staying somewhere else for the entire trip?

I'm just thinking we should reimburse him.

He said he's staying at a friend's place while they're away.

He said not to worry about it.

It's because you kept asking him for all sorts of trivial favors.

He's staying elsewhere to avoid you.

Poor Mr. Joo.

Couldn't be bothered, so he avoided… That's how it is?

I'm sorry, but we're closed.

We're closed. I'm sorry.

Just one drink.

Not tonight.

Why?

- Come back tomorrow. - Hey, why…

Hey!

Hi!

These tasted so good.

Thank you.

Well done.

Hey, babe!

I was hoping for a quiet night,

but you're back.

Tastes good.

Hi, babe. It's me again.

This is driving me insane.

Come on, babe. Just accept it.

This one.

Dongdaemun has plenty of hats like that. That's enough. Let's head back.

Stop! Do Ra-mi.

This one's cute.

Cute?

Hey!

Come on, seriously?

Here. Let's see.

It's the hat she bought yesterday.

Cheers.

It's delicious!

Stop drinking. What do you think this is, lemon juice?

Auntie.

Mister, one more bottle, please.

You've had enough. We're closing soon.

Thank you.

They're closing. He wants us to go.

- Babe… - Quiet.

Hush.

- I need the bathroom. - Keep it down.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I had a few drinks last night.

Should I have stopped her?

These look good. I want one.

We need to go.

- That's enough-- - I love you!

Enough. It says they close at 8:00 p.m. and open at 4:00 a.m.

Oh yeah?

I'll wait until 4:00 a.m., then.

What?

Excuse me?

What did you say?

They're opera lyrics from that movie.

Thank you.

But, babe, I can't read this. Write the Korean pronunciation too.

We're going to an opera house.

Reciting opera lyrics from the movie would make her seem smart

and make everyone so happy.

If you memorize these, would Ms. Cha Mu-hee also know them?

I told you. Our stats are the same.

I'm stupid because she's stupid.

If I become smarter, so will she.

Stop.

I'm not sure if these lyrics will stick, but I'm sure a hangover will.

Are you worrying about her?

You're so kind.

Sure.

I'm doing my best to be kind, since that's the only way you'll leave.

Then sing this to me so I'll learn it faster.

Is it too hard?

Shall I help you memorize them?

Yeah. How are you going to help me?

For rote memorization, repetition and testing work best.

Try reciting them.

Mamma, mamma mia, ma… Ma, ama--

Wrong. Go again.

Ama mimma?

- Again. - Hey!

How can you test me if I barely read it?

Is that right? Then I'll give you a chance to review it.

One, two.

Try it.

You memorized them.

Repeat them until they stick.

That was quick.

Yeah, one thing Cha Mu-hee's good at is memorizing her scripts.

You've got a good memory. I'll give you that.

You even memorize entry codes at a glance.

Then reward me for passing the test.

A reward?

What? Are you feeling too shy to do it here?

Should we go somewhere darker?

No, I like it nice and bright.

Scared, huh?

You're pretty cute when you're scared.

Is that right?

Then can I ask you something since I'm so cute?

Ever since she arrived in Italy and filming began,

Ms. Cha Mu-hee has seemed upbeat and settled.

So why are you still here?

To see you, babe.

Don't joke around.

You're not so cute.

Wanna know something that's really not cute?

Cha Mu-hee remembers it all. The accident from her childhood.

Accident?

My parents died in that accident,

but I don't remember a thing.

The truth is, she saw everything and remembers it all.

She's lying, pretending she doesn't know anything.

That little kid plastered a smile to her face to try to hide it,

but everyone hated her more for it. Called her creepy.

Shall I tell you another secret?

Before I went to your place that time…

I confronted her family.

You met her family?

I dropped a few bombs in front of God.

What, do you think I set off actual bombs? I just used my words. I couldn't even…

I couldn't swear there.

It was a church. And I still want to go to heaven.

Don't tell me to be grateful they even took her in.

I've heard enough of that in here.

I'm proud of what I did.

What's this now? Do you want me to repent or something?

The kindness you wanted.

Just accept it.

Well done.

Let's go.

I told you that kindness makes me want to kill!

Is this her becoming increasingly violent?

"I felt like I might die If someone was kind to me"

"For whatever I've done wrong"

"It felt as though kindness may kill me"

Kindness is scary.

There is nothing more terrifying

than kindness that you believe will come to an end.

Amami, Alfredo.

Quant'io t'amo.

Quant'io t'amo.

Addio.

What was that? Was it Italian?

Was it?

Yeah, they're opera lyrics.

Love me, Alfredo,

as much as I love you.

Good… bye?

What does that mean?

They're opera lyrics.

"Love me, Alfredo,

as much as I love you."

"Goodbye."

Is the Italian I just said correct?

Yes, it is.

No way!

You must really love that movie.

Next time, let's go see that opera you memorized.

From these seats.

He's asking to see that opera from the movie you love next time,

from the seats you're in now.

That sounds wonderful. I look forward to it.

What did I tell you?

She drops some opera lyrics and immediately lands an opera date.

You don't even like operas.

I bet you'd nod off since you couldn't understand.

Plus, it's pretty long.

Have you seen that opera? With who?

I'm not asking for me. I think Cha Mu-hee would want to know.

Is that so?

If Ms. Cha Mu-hee wants to know, she'll ask me herself.

How could she ask you? She feels too bad to even talk to you.

We spoke today just fine.

That's just her talking to you as the interpreter.

You know that thing she's good at.

Calling you "Mr. Joo Ho-jin,"

then blurting whatever comes to mind. She isn't doing that.

Mr. Joo Ho-jin.

Who did you see the opera with?

What's that?

A film camera.

I've heard it's pricey, but I don't know how to use it.

Did you buy it with Ms. Cha's card?

No, it's Hiro's.

Right. And why would you have that?

Well, I stole it.

I just misheard, didn't I?

You didn't say you stole it, did you?

I did.

Why exactly?

To make Hiro owe Cha Mu-hee big time.

When he's feeling down, thinking his prized possession is gone,

she'll whip it out with a "ta-da!," and he'll swoon.

They wouldn't just be going to the opera.

- Here. Hold onto it. - Why are you giving me this?

You have to help her, babe.

Keep watch, and help her find it at the perfect time.

No, thanks.

Theft, concealment, and fraud? I have no desire to help.

Oh dear, what will we do, then?

He'll think it's lost and report it to the police.

They would check the security footage,

and I'd be on it.

Cha Mu-hee would get arrested.

We can't have that, can we?

Since we're not filming tomorrow, let's drink up tonight!

- Let's drink! - Cheers.

Did you say that Hiro has plans tomorrow?

A photographer he's close with invited him to her exhibition's opening.

A party? I'm so jealous.

Well, we're having a party of our own.

Yong-u even booked us this trendy place.

Ji-sun, you're not wearing your ring.

Right.

Did you lose it? What will you do?

No, I still have it.

I took it off earlier to wash my hands.

You scared me. You should be careful.

I lost mine once and almost got divorced.

And where did you find it?

Come on, babe. You should be helping me.

Put it back where it was before you get caught.

I don't want to. Then she can't surprise him with "ta-da!"

What is it?

What? Is it a "ta-da" situation?

Stay still.

Right foot.

I said right foot.

- Now left foot. - Left foot.

- This is delicious. - It is.

It's Tuscan beef.

You're absolutely right.

Pasta's good too.

Isn't that Mr. Joo?

- Mr. Joo? - It is.

That's definitely the coat he was wearing today.

That was Ho-jin? Then who's that with him?

Judging by their build, it's a woman.

His girlfriend, then?

- Was she pretty? - Was she a foreigner?

Things would've been awkward if they'd seen us.

Please don't do this.

Ms. Do… Ra-mi.

Not as awkward as getting locked up!

Come on, babe.

We need to protect Cha Mu-hee.

What is she, a thug?

We're going back to the opera house.

He says he lost something important, so we're all going to go look for it.

- What's this? - The lens?

- Come on. - Seriously?

- That's just the lens cap. - That's not it.

What's that there?

That's not it.

I think I'll go search up there.

Sure.

What am I even doing?

Did she take one of me?

No, the lens cap was on the whole time.

Or was it off?

She did keep fiddling with it.

No. It was on.

Or was it off?

- No… - Here it is!

I found it!

- Really? - You did?

Thank goodness!

I'll bring it down to the lobby.

- Okay. - Come on down.

Be careful!

I found it!

You were here?

Did you find it?

Let me take a look.

Right, this is…

Yeah, it all looks fine.

And this.

It all seems okay. Thankfully, nothing looks broken.

Right, broken…

It's not broken. That's good.

How could she ask you? She feels too bad to even talk to you.

Ms. Cha Mu-hee.

The opera.

You may find Carmen more enjoyable than La Traviata.

I dozed off while watching La Traviata, but I enjoyed Carmen.

You did?

But that one isn't in Pretty Woman.

Of course.

Then just see that one. The person I saw it with enjoyed it.

Anyway, I'm glad you found it.

Mr. Joo Ho-jin.

Who did you see it with?

It's just,

if the person you saw it with is the same gender or a similar age to me,

maybe we'd have similar tastes, and I'd enjoy it too.

I saw it with an author for work.

They wrote a book about operas.

Their age…

He was a man in his fifties.

What do you think? Do you think your tastes would overlap?

Yes.

I think they would. My taste is pretty old-fashioned.

That's good.

You'll enjoy it, then.

It's been ages since we talked. Though I've heard your voice every day.

I've been keeping an eye on you this whole time.

Right.

You must have seen me on the monitors.

- How's the place you're-- - Mu-hee, where are you?

Did you find it?

Did you really find it?

Here.

This is really precious to me.

Thank you for finding it.

Thank you.

No need to thank me. It's all right.

It's all right.

We all found it together.

She said, "It's okay. We all found it together."

Who'd you see the opera with?

Who did you see it with?

I ended up talking to her thanks to Do Ra-mi.

Did she steal that camera on purpose to make us run into each other?

It just so happens that La Traviata is playing here soon.

I'd like to buy tickets,

but before I do, I have something to ask you, Mr. Joo.

Last night,

I saw you with a woman.

I saw you, too, and tried to hide, but I guess you caught me.

Did you see who I was with?

I didn't.

Everyone else guessed that she was your Italian girlfriend.

But I saw her shoes.

She was wearing the exact shoes that Ms. Cha Mu-hee wore

during yesterday's shoot.

Were you with Ms. Cha Mu-hee?

No.

That person wasn't Ms. Cha Mu-hee.

It was someone else.

In that case, I apologize.

This is the photographer who took Hiro's debut photos.

The camera we were looking for today

was a gift from her to celebrate his debut,

an item that is very meaningful and dear to him.

Thank you again.

Yes. Nice to meet you.

If it weren't for my exhibition, I'd want to join too.

But I guess I can't, since it's a shoot.

Mu-hee won't be able to understand a word.

So what if they can't communicate? She can still see the photos.

Let's enjoy ourselves too.

- It's a party. - There's wine that way.

Want some champagne?

Sure.

Yes. A winery.

It's urgent.

What's going on?

There's been a fire at the location of our next shoot.

The village festival has been canceled,

and the winery was damaged, so we can't go there.

Then what do we do now?

Well, we'll have to try to find another winery,

or find an olive farm, or something.

Or just a wine shop.

He says there aren't any wineries where we can shoot.

Let me try calling a friend who runs a travel agency.

Hold on.

I think I read in one of Na Jin-suk's essays

that he knows someone who runs a huge winery in Italy.

Right. That winery.

So he does?

Please put a call in to your fiancé.

- Please? - Ji-sun, please.

Hello?

Yeah, it's me.

- Please. - What's taking so long?

I'm not getting through to anyone. This is driving me mad.

We're good. He got the okay from the owner.

He's our god! Our savior!

Ji-sun's fiancé saved us all.

I thought I was going to pass out.

- Goodness me. - Give me one too.

Drink this.

You must have been anxious too.

Right, thank you.

You agreed to let a Korean film crew shoot here?

I had no other choice.

It's such a rare opportunity to see my son again.

In any case,

you must be excited to see him again.

Yes.

But honestly, I'm afraid.

I've caused him so much pain.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Are you here alone?

Won't your girlfriend be joining you today?

Did it seem like that woman was my girlfriend?

Well, yes. You two looked like a couple.

Was I mistaken?

Yes, you're mistaken.

Won't she be coming anymore?

That's a shame.

I thought I'd be getting lucky number seven today.

I'm sorry?

She drew these every time she visited.

These are

four-leaf clovers.

That lady is an actress, is she not?

I pretended not to recognize her because I didn't want to be a bother.

I didn't tell anyone about her either.

Thank you very much.

I thought I'd ask for her autograph after collecting the seventh clover.

It's too bad.

She must really be hoping for something,

to be collecting good luck like this.

She believes that by collecting good luck,

her wish will come true.

I get so nervous speaking English. I felt like I was dying.

Where is Yong-u?

The Northern Lights.

I wanted to see them too.

I miss you.

I could have sworn

the zombie was crying.

What's up with her?

MS. CHA MU-HEE BABE

I thought she'd be at the party.

Mr. Joo Ho-jin.

Ms. Cha Mu-hee?

You thought so?

Shouldn't you be at the gallery? Why'd you show up?

Because I missed you, babe.

The party today was fantastic. Stealing the camera worked.

It's because I laid the groundwork with that love confession song.

All thanks to you.

Unfortunately, that's not a love song. It's a goodbye song.

What?

That can't be right.

It plays at the end of Pretty Woman.

That movie has a happy ending.

It ended with them kissing, so why a goodbye song? Is a kiss sad?

Is a kiss tragic?

Maybe it means that, in reality, there may not be a happy ending.

In La Traviata, it's an aria sung just before the lovers part.

Then the woman dies.

So,

the happy ending she wholeheartedly believed in

was just a delusion?

In reality, she can never be happy.

Thinking she'll never be happy is also a delusion.

You said she can never be happy, didn't you?

Delusions like these need to disappear

for her to get a happy ending in real life.

To get a happy ending,

I should stop meeting you like this.

Because this is her delusion too.

Spending time with me is Ms. Cha's delusion?

I told you I was doing the things she wanted to but couldn't.

I kept coming to see you…

because she wanted to see you.

She still

likes you a lot.

You said you appeared

because she feared people might discover

the secret she wanted to hide.

That's right.

And she's most afraid that you, Joo Ho-jin, may find out her secret.

So I was one of the reasons

you appeared?

I'll also tell you something that Cha Mu-hee could never tell you.

She saw

exactly how her mom and dad died, but she said she didn't.

Because…

her mom killed her dad.

And tried to kill her too.

She lied, even to herself, that she knew nothing.

Because she knew

that no one could ever love a child who witnessed something so terrible.

That's why she became such a crazy bitch.

Always walking on eggshells, afraid that people might hate her.

Shamelessly waffling back and forth on a whim and telling lies.

Clinging to someone, pleading to be loved, then fleeing out of fear of rejection.

She got one over on you too.

She's the one who walked away out of fear,

but she doesn't want you to hate her either.

The crazy bitch.

Joo Ho-jin really is kind.

With that kind heart of yours,

leave this girl.

So that I can disappear.

Once you leave her

and this painful delusion vanishes…

she'll be happy.

That'll be our happy ending.

Love me, Mr. Joo Ho-jin…

as much as I love you.

Goodbye.

CAN THIS LOVE BE TRANSLATED?
