"The Day He Returns"

I'll pull this down, it's very clear.

- I'll do it. - Would you please?

Should I draw this side too?

I think that's enough.

It's good like this.

But is it okay to pull down the curtain?

No, no problem.

I know the owner here.

If he says we should pull it up, we will.

It's better like this, down below.

People passing by might stare at us.

I didn't say that.

Because of my eyes.

Do your eyes hurt?

No, but getting weaker.

I can't see as well as I used to.

But I still see the flowers.

There is a flower here!

Very beautiful.

Yes, that's right.

What did you think of our movie?

- My opinion? - Yeah.

I'm curious.

I have to ask a question.

However, I'm curious.

I would like to know what people think.

It was beautiful.

- Really? - Yeah.

It makes me think about it a lot.

I still think about it.

You're not lying, are you?

No.

Very good.

But how did you end up acting in an independent film?

Why, is there a reason I shouldn't have played?

No, that's not the issue.

But you haven't played in a long time.

I think many directors wanted to work with you.

No, there was no one.

Of course, I don't think they knew that I also liked to act.

That's right.

To be honest, I asked a few acquaintances.

But it was not welcomed.

Really?

They showed no interest at all.

They didn't answer. They didn't leave me alone.

Really?

But you know...

I really liked this script.

Somehow the director knew he had to send it to me.

About this director...

I went to see it because I liked the script.

And he's an incredibly serious person.

He has a very respectful personality.

I thought he was very kind.

I felt like I could trust him and work with him.

I'm glad you did this.

The movie is so wonderful.

Really?

Are you just saying this to my face?

That's not the case at all.

Please read what I write next.

Then you will understand.

Okay. I'll read.

Journalists or people like me who write,

We often can't express ourselves well when speaking.

It's easier to write.

Okay. I'll read it.

By the way, how old are you?

He is 26 years old now.

wow.

Young, very young...

Yeah.

Can you tell me how you came back to acting after 10 years?

Actually, more than 10 years old.

It's been 12 years.

You must have been very young then.

Of course I was.

However, I watched many of your TV series and movies.

Really? From back then?

Your more famous series are on the internet.

I know.

Some of my videos can be downloaded.

- There are also some DVDs. - Really?

I didn't know...

You were making a lot of noise back then.

I was beautiful at that time.

You are still very beautiful!

There isn't even a single wrinkle on your face.

You have really come into your own.

Or were you just born that way?

I think I was born this way.

My mom is like that.

She is over 70 years old now, but she is still very beautiful.

From behind, he looks like he's 40 or 50 years old.

To God.

Really?

That was a while ago.

We went to a shopping mall and in the parking lot,

My mom was walking ahead.

From behind, he really looked like a 40-year-old man.

I was really shocked.

How can a person over 70 be like this?

I think it's genetic.

The coffee here is good, isn't it?

Like coffee shops.

Yeah, it's really good.

I think it's a German restaurant.

Yes, it is.

The chef is really German.

Really?

The owner is Korean and her husband is German.

He prepares the food.

Before he came here, he had a restaurant in Berlin.

I have to come and eat here sometime.

Come try it sometime.

The food has a simple and clean taste.

It does not use any additives.

It is clear that it uses high-quality raw materials.

It's German, that's why its meat dishes are so delicious.

It looks great!

Are you going to try it now?

Now?

No, sir, thank you.

If you want, tell me, we can eat as we talk.

No, it's okay. I'm very stressed right now.

Really? You don't like it at all.

To God.

I get stressed easily.

Okay, we'll eat here another time.

What was your question? Tell me again?

Why did you decide to come back...

My daughter is a little older now, so I have some free time.

I said to myself, maybe I should work again.

So your daughter is older now?

He is now 11 years old.

He told me.

That I have to go out and work.

It was as if he had given me permission, told me to work and make money.

Did he say this?

I'm not sure what made him think that.

But he said I had to work.

So it means just the two of you live together?

Yes, there used to be someone living with us as a servant,

But he became very old and went to live with his son.

So you do the housework yourself?

There is someone who comes three times a week to clean.

You got divorced, right?

Yes. I got divorced.

Was it hard to get divorced?

Divorce is hard. Is there anyone who has it easy?

You are right.

It must have been very difficult, right?

Curious about this topic?

Should I talk about it here?

No, you don't have to.

If there's anything you want to say about it,

Go ahead and say it. Because people are interested in knowing.

Otherwise, you don't have to say it at all.

Oh, just...

This is unfair to my ex-husband.

That's why I prefer not to talk about it.

Of course. I understand.

If it's about the movie,

You can ask me anything you want. Anything.

Yes.

I really liked the last scene.

I'm really impressed. Seriously.

- Really? - Yeah.

When I saw you from behind walking alone on the plains of Jeju,

You looked very lonely.

My eyes filled with tears.

Is that really the case?

The wind was blowing really hard.

Even after all the hardships he went through.

This woman was carrying on with courage. That's what I felt.

No matter how sad it was.

It gave me strength in a way.

That I have to be strong.

And with any hardship I may face.

I gain the same amount of strength to overcome it.

That's why I have to continue.

It was strange, I felt this power erupting within me.

It was great.

They are heading towards them.

And it really made me think a lot.

I need to think about it more.

So you liked it.

I like the ending too.

Things have been difficult for me recently.

It was so hard that I didn't know what to do.

Really?

- You look very cheerful. - Not at all.

I just don't let others find out.

They are heading towards them.

As long as I can solve my problems.

I prefer my own table.

I won't open it to others.

What's so difficult?

...just what I do

My relationship with people close to me.

It's hard for me to do as well as I want to.

What exactly is difficult for you?

I think my expectations are too high.

But I can't decide if my expectations are too high or not.

That's why I'm struggling with this confusion.

Is it really hard?

Yes, a little.

But I'm sure others are struggling just like me.

Do you drink beer?

No thanks, it's still early.

Do you like alcohol?

drink?

I like it a little, but I drink very little these days.

Hydration?

My body is not adapted to alcohol, I used to drink too much.

That's why I'm observing these days.

But a glass of beer is okay.

The German beer here is great, it's on tap.

Do you want one?

No, I really don't want to.

- But you say so. - No.

I am fine.

I'm stopping myself.

As you go about your daily life,

What is most important to you these days?

What is your most important concern?

I monitor how my mind works.

Monitoring your mind?

Usually.

We try to give meaning to even the smallest things.

Yeah.

For example.

There is a friend I have become distant from.

One day I thought about it and my heart ached for it.

That's why I bought him a small gift.

I wanted to send it and told myself to leave a card with it.

I took out a fountain pen that I hadn't used in a hundred years.

I opened the door.

And suddenly the ink spread everywhere.

My fingers turned completely black.

And it got under my nails, that's why I couldn't wipe it off.

But it seemed like it was some kind of sign.

That I should not contact him.

That I should let our relationship stay the way it is and do nothing.

It happened to me too.

I didn't see things as they were.

I was looking at an image and a story that had been created in my mind.

And I thought it was a sign.

It's just the fingers that are inked,

But we have to give it meaning and interpret it.

But this is really boring.

Sometimes it makes me sick.

It's like you're practicing Taoism.

I'm not sure if it's that or something else,

But I just want to see things as they are.

I think it's really important.

Why is it so important?

I don't think we can live without interpreting things.

Don't they say that understanding means interpreting?

There are so many interpretations in this world.

Ideals, images, stories... they are all interpretations.

When one interpretation is useless, we move on to another.

We jump from this interpretation to that one.

Then suddenly life ends.

I think there is something similar in Zen Buddhism.

Of course, I read books about Buddhism and other books.

But I think it's important to really experience it.

All interpretations ultimately lead to anxiety.

If you can see things as they are.

Then you can truly experience true peace.

I liked what you said.

I once went to Mount Sorak and there was no one around.

And I sat by a small stream,

For a very long time.

But I had that experience at that time.

Really,

I could see things in front of me exactly as they were.

I just saw them as they were.

Just that one time.

I felt it right away.

I really need to think about it.

Do you want a beer?

I think I'm fine.

But if you want...

No, no.

I don't need it.

I am on a diet.

I'd better not drink.

Are you on a diet?

How is your diet?

I don't eat flour or sugar at all.

I do intermittent fasting whenever I can.

I also go to the gym twice a week for strength training.

But now that I'm older, it's become harder to lose weight.

But I have no choice. I'm trying to go back.

How do you do intermittent fasting?

You just don't eat anything.

You skip breakfast and dinner.

You eat all your food within a 6 to 8 hour period.

From noon to 6 pm.

The rest of the time you don't eat anything.

It must be hard.

I always have to eat breakfast.

It's not comfortable at all.

- Are you here? - Yes.

Time is up.

Excuse me.

Finally, do you have any advice for young people?

Just a question.

Okay.

Excuse me, there is someone else after you.

I apologize.

Love yourself.

Really, love yourself more than anything.

That's it?

Thank you.

There's no need to rush to leave.

Thank you.

Mr. Director, I really liked your film.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Goodbye!

How much time is left?

You have to go inside now.

Thank you.

No, please.

Where did Chihoon go?

They got the reporter to the subway, but it took a while.

Aha.

How was it?

It went well.

But I think I talked too much.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Okay.

I'm drinking a lot of coffee.

Did you eat too much?

There have been three cups so far.

I tried to fall asleep, but I ate too much.

Did you have many interviews?

I just drank too much coffee.

There weren't many interviews.

I'm sure you have a lot of interviews.

No, then this is just another one.

After that, it's over.

Are you tired?

Yes, a little.

You must be tired.

Me too.

Really?

Nice to see you.

Thank you.

What did you think of the movie?

Movie?

Can I be honest?

Sure, of course it is.

Honestly, I'm not sure what he's trying to say.

Really?

I watched until the end, but I still couldn't catch anything.

It had beautiful scenes that were really impressive, but...

Again.

I didn't understand the relevance of the issues to understand the story.

I don't know what he wants to say.

It made me think about different things.

But they don't connect at the bottom.

That's how it is.

Maybe it's just me.

Maybe not...

In any case, that was my feeling.

So why do you want to interview me?

This interview?

I really wanted to see you up close.

I have always admired you since the beginning.

- Really? - Yeah.

Interesting.

I am very happy to see you.

I understand what you're saying.

But that's the charm of this film.

They are heading towards them.

It doesn't force a particular message or conclusion.

It's better to just go with the flow of the movie.

I don't know much about movies. I just...

Movies that are easy to watch are entertaining.

Yeah.

I saw a lot of those movies.

To feel that constant pleasure without thinking.

It's very expensive.

I've only seen movies like this since I was a child.

But the older I get,

I feel like it's becoming too artificial.

Does it feel like the movie is playing me?

Or does he think I'm stupid?

It feels like that.

It's like riding a roller coaster,

Go up and then come down.

Up and down...

I'm not interested anymore.

You're right, it's very predictable.

Isn't that a good movie?

I love him very much.

Yeah.

I'm just an ordinary viewer.

No, I'm not criticizing you.

Honestly, I really like this movie myself.

Yeah.

But you are really very beautiful.

What?

Thank you.

The door opened and you came in,

I said to myself, how beautiful she is.

Reporter?

Wow, can a reporter be this beautiful?

That's not the case at all.

Even more beautiful than the actors.

Thank you very much.

But you are very beautiful.

Really attractive.

Really?

Wow, thank you.

I love your smile.

Very lovely.

Thank you.

Are your eyes brown?

The brown is very attractive.

Yes, brown.

But you look very lovely.

Just before you burst out laughing,

And then, that cold, childish, but indifferent feeling that radiates from you.

Very beautiful.

from

Can I say this?

Like a little child.

An innocent child.

Really?

Thank you.

I think you are an honest person.

Yes, I am.

That's right.

But I don't think being too honest is good either.

Yesterday I had a fight with my boyfriend about this very issue.

Really?

As long as I'm honest, I feel like I can attack anyone.

Why can't you be more honest? Don't be a coward.

Be more honest! This is how I attack him.

- Did you fight about this? - Yes.

It was a serious fight.

But in the morning, when I saw his face, I felt better again.

Did it seem worth giving?

You have to be in the right mood and go at the right speed.

Until you feel ready.

But I ignored this and pressured him to speak his mind.

That's why it was hard for him.

I overdid it.

I was just trying to be honest, though.

So you know.

I know, but it's hard to do.

It is not easy to act against your nature.

Yes, you're right.

Live as you are. Tell him to understand you.

Yes, we need to start understanding each other.

So you live alone now?

No.

I live with my daughter.

Ah, your daughter.

I got divorced two years ago and live with my daughter.

Yeah, I heard you got divorced.

But how do you manage your affairs?

Are you happy these days?

I am happy.

Because I live with my daughter.

We also have a dog.

Do you have a dog?

Yeah.

I really want a dog too.

They are very funny.

It's really funny.

He's like...

What can I say, a moving tree?

She is like nature itself.

Yeah.

Just watching him sleep makes me feel so happy.

Seeing him walk into the house,

It really makes me feel good.

What is he thinking about?

What do you want?

Everything is so funny.

It's very funny.

I often worry about my daughter.

There is something to worry about every day.

I am very grateful to him and I love him very much.

But it's not my fault, I'm still worried.

But a dog is truly a blessing.

Whatever he does, it makes me happy.

It's very funny.

It's obvious you love him very much.

It's not my hand.

That's right.

Honestly, people aren't that kind.

We must try to be kind.

Because we live together and we need each other.

But again,

We are all turning black from within.

We feel crushed, stressed, and exhausted.

But how can we maintain an innocent face,

When our souls are torn to pieces?

It takes a lot of effort to see only the good things.

But you know,

We're actually not that kind.

That's right.

You are right.

I recently saw a dog on TV that lived to be 36 years old.

Really?

It's hard to imagine.

But that dog had lived so long.

But he was very old, his hair was falling out,

And it seemed like he was walking with difficulty.

But if you looked at his face,

It was exactly the same as before.

He was just like an angel.

In human terms, that dog was 200 years old.

But nevertheless,

He is an angel.

Dogs are angels until the moment they die.

They die like an angel.

I need to get a dog!

Definitely get them! They're so awesome.

- Every day... - My boyfriend hates dog hair.

That's why I can't get a dog.

Some dogs don't shed, like Maltese or Poodles.

But they are difficult to care for because they are so energetic.

There is a breed that is a mix of Maltese and Poodle called the Maltipoo.

They are so funny, really!

Yes, I know.

I need to talk to my boyfriend again.

You have to do this.

What race are you?

Pomeranian.

Pomeranian...

How long have you been friends with your boyfriend?

It's been three months now.

Really?

Not too much.

I thought it was too late.

- Did you think so? - Yes.

From the way you spoke, it seemed like you had been together for a long time.

When I become friends with someone, I focus a lot.

I don't socialize with other people.

Or sometimes I do it, but it makes me tired.

It's different with my boyfriend.

Even if I get tired, it's a different kind of tiredness.

I kind of need a man by my side.

Is there no one else around you?

No. I like people, but it's hard to spend a lot of time with them.

Me too.

- First or second child? - My first child.

Me too.

What about your brother's sister?

A younger brother.

Soldier.

Are you close to him?

I am.

Would you like a beer? The draft beer here is very good.

German draft beer, really great.

Yes, definitely.

Excuse me, ma'am!

Two draft beers, please.

Two draft beers?

Thank you.

Is this a German restaurant?

Yes, that's right.

This is my first time visiting a German restaurant.

The chef here is German.

He had a small restaurant in Berlin.

The owner is Korean. Her husband cooks.

The waiters are also their children.

Really?

It's a family restaurant.

Come here with your boyfriend sometime.

Yeah, I really have to come.

My boyfriend likes sausage and meat.

German sausages are good, aren't they?

Of course, they're really good.

Excellencies.

Should we order sausage now?

We can talk while eating, sausage is easy.

It goes very well with beer!

Shall we order?

No, I think beer will be enough.

You are right.

I was very stressed when I was coming here.

But you are very happy and friendly.

- I feel very comfortable. - Were you stressed?

Yeah.

Don't stress.

Never stress.

Just be comfortable.

Thank you.

I like you too.

Thank you very much.

What do you usually do?

When you are at home?

from?

I like listening to music.

Sometimes I paint and...

I also exercise to lose weight.

What kind of song?

Well...

Something emotional?

And original. I like songs like this.

Yeah.

I also like drawing.

But to draw, your mind must be calm.

That's why I can't draw much.

This is very good.

It's delicious.

Isn't it?

German beer is really different.

One hundred percent.

Do you like alcohol?

Yeah.

I don't eat that much anymore.

But I used to eat it every day.

Really?

Even if I drank it every day, it would be fine.

At night... I would have a glass or two of wine.

There is nothing to do at night.

Yeah.

After the baby falls asleep.

I was sipping alone for myself.

Do you watch TV?

I don't have a TV.

Oh, no TV...

My daughter is trying to cocoon me, but no.

Did you drink a lot before?

Yes, I drank a lot.

If I didn't have children,

I might have died of alcoholism by now.

Drinking is very relaxing.

Life is boring.

After a day of dog-running,

I would sit quietly in a corner and drink,

Without hurting anyone.

I just wanted to disappear and be destroyed,

Without anyone understanding.

I had dreams like this.

But after I had a baby,

Everything changed overnight.

They are heading towards them.

Cheers!

Cheers!

What do you think about someone like me?

What am I thinking?

Honestly, I feel a little sorry for the young people.

They are dark and gloomy, very dark.

As for me, I'm much older,

And I experienced many things...

I'm not saying this makes me better than others,

But when you're young, things have to be different.

But you are all very gloomy and dark.

I think the world makes us like this.

Everywhere you look, there is competition.

It is dark and depressing.

We all feel left to our own devices.

Even between people who love each other.

You meet someone out of necessity,

You each take care of yourself and enjoy being together as much as you can.

It's as if people call this love.

You are right.

Am I talking too much?

No, not at all.

Do you have anything to say to a young person like me?

I just said it again.

That's right.

Just love yourself.

Love yourself more than anything.

And don't think there's anything specific you have to do.

There is no such thing at all.

First of all, love yourself more than anyone.

Not your values, not your goals,

Truly love yourself.

Yeah.

The reason I got divorced...

Even though I had a child.

And I wasn't sure how I was going to make money,

And I knew everyone was going to blame me,

I started thinking that...

Do I really love this person?

Or not?

Then, does he love me?

Or did he stay with me just because he's the father of my child?

Do you know what he told me next?

He said everyone lives like this.

Everyone just lives like that.

Don't insist on being different.

But I don't want to live like that.

One only lives once.

I live only with true love.

This is my choice.

With my daughter.

And my dog...

Because I really love them.

I will truly love them as long as I live.

I can do anything for them.

Things I've never done.

I can tolerate things I never could.

I don't accept alcoholic love in my life.

Yeah.

Here. Hello!

Yes.

The director is here.

Hello.

It's time to pack it up.

Oh, yes.

You don't need to rush.

No problem.

I took up a lot of your time.

Thank you for today.

Yeah.

Wait... just a minute.

Goodbye, live well.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you for today.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Did you come by subway?

Yes

I'll take you to the station.

No. Okay. I'll walk myself.

It's a long way. I can take you there.

Really good. Goodbye.

It must be nice that you're recording it instead of writing it down.

Yeah.

Honestly, writing is better.

But this is very easy. I just record it in the end.

Who was the person outside who guided me?

Who? Director?

No. I know the director well. The person who was next to him.

With a brown face. Tall.

What is it?

He is a friend who is helping me.

Are you the program director?

No, he's not my program manager. Even though he'd like to be.

Um, I'm not sure yet.

When I started working again

He wanted to try it too. That's why he came with me.

This is his first movie.

He's the nephew of one of my friends. He owns a bookshop.

But he wants to try this.

He gave the stall to his wife to turn.

We are both from Busan.

That's why we are comfortable together.

His face is very tanned.

That's why I got curious.

It's sunny.

He had recently gone to Hawaii with his wife.

So you got a tan in Hawaii?

It's very dark.

Everyone there thinks like a native.

I wasn't surprised.

His eyes are also very big.

Beer is good, isn't it?

Yes, that's good.

The draft beer here is really great.

German beer is something else.

Are you a drinker?

These days I'm trying to eat less, but of course I like it.

It sticks a lot.

But I've become very fat. If I eat, I can't lose weight.

You look great now.

No, it's not like that.

Anyway, it's hard.

As you get older, it becomes harder to lose weight.

I went on a diet because of my work.

Why did you decide to come back?

I was looking for something I was interested in.

What are you interested in...

I really liked your acting.

That's not the case at all.

I think something is missing.

That's why I started taking acting classes.

Are you taking acting classes?

Yes. I've been there twice so far.

Where do you study?

I tried a studio that was reputable.

And I think it's helping me.

There is a person who is famous for his teaching method.

How does he conduct his classes?

It has a strange method.

It's all about the basics.

And what is inside you.

He's trying to provoke these things.

I still have to see what happens. I just started.

Taking acting classes,

It shouldn't be easy for you.

I don't feel ashamed at all.

You have to learn what you don't know.

If you don't learn, you'll only hurt yourself.

And these days I was thinking...

Was I always studious?

I realized I really enjoy studying things.

I also have a logical side.

So you should have pursued your education.

You said it yourself.

I realized it too late.

If I were a child, I wouldn't have inhaled coal gas,

I was very smart now.

Coal gas?

Yeah.

Right, don't you believe it?

I believe you.

You have to believe it, right?

Yeah.

But how did you choose this new film?

I liked his script.

The director seemed to know he had to send it to me.

It was really great.

I called him the moment I read it.

I told him his script was great.

I understand.

What do you think was so good about this script?

That there was no exaggeration in it.

More than anything, I hate unrealistic stories.

I was able to easily relate to the situation in the film.

He attracted me to himself.

And I wanted to be in that position myself.

This was the decision.

I understand.

What is a good movie?

If you want...

Good movie?

I'm not sure, it's definitely different for everyone.

What people see as good is different.

Their status and tastes are different. That's right.

However,

Do you have any ideals for what makes a good movie?

from?

Well...

Even if I did, I don't think it would be very useful.

Yeah.

I don't think we need to discuss ideals.

Ultimately, people do what they want,

And they see what they want.

We all live very apart from each other,

No matter how much we live in a society.

There has never been an absolute truth.

There are just things that people like or don't like.

Is that what you mean?

I'm not sure.

How could I know what was right or wrong?

A truth that benefits everyone...

How could I understand that?

When I can't even control my own body?

You talked about the script before.

What's it like rereading scripts?

Hard?

When you read, does a movie form in your mind?

I can't say anything about the film. That's up to the director.

But if the character is convincing,

And I want to be in that position,

This is what is important to me.

Of course, the director is also important.

If I have the slightest doubt about the director,

Then it's better not to do it.

I look at the movies you've acted in. Or the series.

They were all very different.

Completely different.

Is that really the case?

But I think playing in all of them had the same feeling.

What did you think of our film?

I didn't ask you.

It's a good movie.

I really liked it.

And it was great to see you in a movie again.

Thank you.

It's good that you're back.

Cheers!

Cheers!

I want to be a cool woman.

From now on, I'll be very cool.

A cool woman?

Yeah.

- But you are right now. - No.

I have to try a lot harder. There's still a long way to go.

Who do you think is a cool woman?

Someone who doesn't have to do things they don't like.

For true love, you have to do things you don't like.

If not,

It seems childish.

True love?

Maybe because I'm an actor. There were always people who helped me.

I started acting at a very young age.

That's why my whole life, I only did what I wanted to do.

I never did anything I didn't want to do.

That's why I became lazy and never built up my patience.

When I got married, my wife did all my work.

Now I want to change.

It's because of my child.

I just think it's cool.

Tolerating things.

This is my first time.

Before, tolerating was just...

If I disliked something even a little bit, I would avoid it.

I had no patience at all.

Now that I have a little patience,

I see people more clearly.

Wow. These people have endured a lot in their lives.

But despite carrying such a heavy burden on their shoulders every day, they maintained their humanity.

Very strange.

I was thinking the same thing.

If it weren't for art, I wouldn't have any patience!

I lived like this.

Honestly, what I did can hardly be called art.

Anyway...

I understand.

Please.

Yes, director.

Is everything okay?

Our time is up, have you talked enough?

Yes, it was good.

It was great.

I am happy.

Finally, perhaps,

Do you have any advice for Jovana?

Something that will help them?

To love yourself?

To love yourself more than anything?

I think this is the most important thing.

Okay.

You don't need to rush.

Anyway, you are the last one.

I'm in no hurry.

Honestly, I want to talk to the director.

- Seriously? - Yes?

I interviewed him a few days ago, but since he came today,

- I want to ask him a few more questions. - I understand.

How good it was.

Do you want to talk here? This is fine, I'll go over there.

No, it's okay.

We go to a restaurant and talk while we eat.

He said he hadn't eaten yet, so we agreed.

If by any chance you haven't eaten yet, come with us.

No, you two go.

I have class to go to.

What class?

The same acting class I told you about.

- Is that class today? - Yes, this afternoon.

Okay, then I'm going.

Thank you.

I was very happy to see you.

Me too.

Really.

In this case,

I'm leaving now.

- Chihun is waiting outside. - Seriously?

And can you tell me?

What was the name of the person I saw today?

- Give me their numbers too. - Yeah, sure.

I'll send it to you right now.

You were great today.

Let's go have dinner another time!

Call me anytime.

Okay, I'll definitely call you.

Are you coming out now?

I'll stay a little longer. You go.

Goodbye!

- Yeah. - Goodbye.

See you.

- Are you smoking? - Yes.

I'm out of fluids.

I think the director won't eat with us.

- Has he gone somewhere? - He has an interview.

Interview? Now?

He worked a lot today.

Usually the broadcaster does these things, but he did it alone.

Yes.

How was it for you? Was it good?

I'm just happy to be here for your interviews.

It seems like it's really starting.

Is it really being released?

That's all that excited me..

Yes, thank you.

Hello.

Hello, did you call?

Yes.

Sorry, I was outside, so I didn't hear.

I was thinking about our interview...

Yes.

I said that people are not kind.

Remember that they are not kind creatures?

Yes. You said that.

I'm a little worried about it.

I think those words might be misinterpreted.

Do you think so?

Yes. If it's not quoted correctly, people might get the wrong idea.

That's why I prefer you not to write that part.

I understand.

I don't think there's a problem.

And as for my husband,

That part I said about my divorce.

Yes.

Please don't write that either.

Really?

I don't think it's fair to him.

People don't need to know this.

That's why I want you to delete it.

Owl?

You don't answer.

That's not the case.

I think you're worrying too much.

No. It's not like that.

I don't want you to write that.

Please respect my opinion.

If you think so...

And when you finish the draft, I want to approve it.

Before it is published.

Really?

But I was supposed to write it today or tomorrow.

No problem.

You can email me.

I will send you my email address.

Okay.

Thank you, thank you for today.

Please.

And it was a very good interview.

Thank you.

Please.

Thank you.

Yes. I will send you my address.

Yeah.

Goodbye.

You wrote a lot.

Was it hard?

Yeah, it was hard. I don't remember anything.

Even though it just happened.

However, you wrote a lot.

It's because my handwriting is rough.

I'm not sure it's accurate. Just as I wrote it.

I was able to write the words.

But it was very cursory.

It's okay, it's fine.

I don't remember the questions. They asked me a lot of questions.

Seriously?

But I remember it with force.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I wrote down many of the things I said.

And as I do it, I'm sure I'll remember more.

That's right.

Do I have to say exactly what I wrote?

No need.

If you remember anything else, you can continue like this.

So how does he say the dialogue?

He's coming after you. He's done this a lot.

Yeah.

So I'll give you about 30 minutes.

You don't have to memorize it word for word.

So I'll give you 30 minutes.

It's fine with me. Can you do it?

Yes. I'll do my best.

This is very interesting.

It's interesting to write about something that just happened to me.

That's right.

So what we can really reinforce in this acting class is

This is to make our soil more fertile.

I think so.

- Dirt? - Yes, dirt.

A kind of experimental exercise.

Experimental practice...

To look very honestly at your true self?

So you are giving energy to your own specific colors.

Even when you say normal dialogues

The colors of your being show themselves.

Aha.

But

This requires real talent.

And...

Some people have this themselves.

It works the same way for them, even if they haven't practiced.

It happens as soon as they start playing.

Strange, isn't it?

- What do you think? - Yes?

Shall we start?

Sure, let's go.

You had more than an hour to memorize it.

- Yes. - Okay...

Shall we pull down the curtain?

- Yes. I'll do it myself. - No need. I'll do it myself.

- Really? - Thank you.

My eyes can't see well anymore.

Your eyes?

The older I get, the weaker they become...

How was the movie?

Movie?

Yeah. It was very good.

I really liked it.

Thank you.

Are you telling the truth?

Yes, you can believe me.

What did you like so much about it?

About that...

Can I tell you later?

I am more used to writing my thoughts.

I'm a little cautious.

I think everyone who writes is like that.

Who writes?

Yeah.

You're still young, but has writing brought you this trouble?

Yeah, it seems like that.

This happens to you when you write.

This should be easy to record. People used to write it down.

Yes. It's better to take notes as you listen.

But this is easier...

It's better to write it down, right?

But still, recording ensures you don't miss anything,

And you can accurately quote what others have said.

- That's right. - Yeah.

This is your first film in a long time.

Why did you decide to make an independent film?

Shouldn't I have been working on an independent film?

No, that's not what I meant.

This is a much-anticipated return.

Many directors must have wanted to work with you.

- With me? - Yes.

None of them were.

Well, I didn't announce that I was going to work again.

I just liked director Bang's script.

He came to my house and explained his film,

And he was very honest.

I was impressed by his pure passion for cinema.

I trusted him.

I don't trust anyone easily.

He's a really good director.

- Exactly. - Yeah.

After that long break.

Why did you want to return to acting?

We are very eager to see you again.

It's been a long time, hasn't it?

After getting divorced.

I felt like I had to do something.

My child is old enough to spend time alone.

My child told me to go out and work.

Like a big man.

He told me to go and make money.

You were truly wonderful.

Everyone in the country loved you.

That doesn't matter anymore.

I only live for now, for today.

From now on, I have to do well.

You will definitely succeed.

But what happened that led to your divorce?

Was it hard?

Every divorce is difficult.

What was difficult?

It's better not to talk about it.

He also has the right to privacy.

Let's just talk about the movie, wouldn't it be better this way?

Yeah, but if there's something you want to say...

I'm sure many are curious.

I said no.

I will answer any questions you have about the film.

What did you like about the movie?

When did you first start working on this film?

First of all, the script was very good.

It wasn't a cliché story full of ups and downs.

When you see movies like that,

Don't you feel like they're looking down on you?

Yes, you're right.

I felt it about me.

I'm not sure this was the director's intention.

Maybe he wanted to choose me, that's why he used me as a model...

I had thought about it too.

Really?

However, don't write this, it might upset him.

I don't think he wants to be upset about this.

It is very likely that this is what happened.

I thought the same thing when I watched the movie.

- Really? - Yeah.

I understand.

Don't write it down, though. He never told me directly.

Okay.

But I think you're worrying too much.

Interviews are for you to speak your mind honestly.

That's how good they are.

This is good for the writer.

But it's hard for me.

Anyway, I hope you respect my request.

Can you do this?

Okay.

Can we have a beer while we talk?

I don't drink at work. Sorry.

Okay.

Is there anything you would like to say?

Would you hit a young person like me?

To Joanna...

Just love yourself.

Love yourself.

Not just yourself, but reality itself.

Wanting to live according to the things that others have instilled in you,

To feel like you're running away your whole life,

Always, as if,

You are blaming yourself.

This is not your true self.

Do you think it is?

Loving reality itself...

And there's nothing you have to do as if your life depended on it.

We all seem to be too hard on ourselves in life.

We should just relax.

And let's live our lives in comfort.

Whatever.

Yeah, but it's not easy to be relaxed like this.

That...

That's the first step to loving your true self.

Not to blame yourself.

To not constantly regret something.

That you don't always have to be so afraid of the future.

Just that...

Just allow yourself to be freer.

I think this should be the first priority.

And if you do this,

You can find yourself again.

How can you stop blaming yourself?

How can you stop being afraid of the future?

To see things as they are.

Just for a second.

To see things as they are, right in front of your eyes.

To have that experience.

If you can see things as they really are, that experience,

The power it has,

It makes you realize that everything we've lived so far has been an illusion.

Even just for a second?

Yeah.

Yes, it's true.

Why? Do you think it's too short?

No, not at all.

But it's really hard to get even a second of it.

I experienced it.

In Mount Sorak,

I was alone one day and I experienced it.

I think the sky helped me experience it.

Really?

It was only once, but...

I will never miss that experience.

I live by holding on to that moment.

What I saw at that time.

That experience was really real,

And all that we call everyday life.

If I want to tell the truth.

Maybe it's like this.

We are making mistakes,

And it might all be an illusion.

I believe in it.

I believe.

This is the only time.

The only moment I can feel

That I am truly free.

Only when I experience perfect love

At a moment like this.

Can I experience something like this too?

What do you think?

I haven't experienced it.

When you are ready, you will experience it.

You can tell about it through words.

But experience is something you have to gain yourself.

That experience is true power.

When you are ready,

When you really need it, a moment

You throw yourself into it.

For people who are not ready,

It's just a word, without any power.

I wish I had a paradise like yours.

Heaven is just a word.

Honestly...

Yes?

No. I...

I talked a lot of nonsense.

- Isn't it? - No, not at all.

Really?

You look very satisfied.

Like someone walking the path of Tao.

You seem transparent.

Thank you.

I wish I could have a beer.

So should we just eat one?

One glass should be okay.

- Shall we eat? - Yes.

- Really? - Yeah.

Oh, this is so great!

Don't be tired.

It ends here.

I know.

I love you. Really.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Don't be tired.

If you feel that your acting has become too dry.

Try doing this exercise.

In my opinion, exercises like this,

Every time you do it, it helps you more.

Yeah.



Because I can do it whenever I want.

That's right.

Shall we go have a glass of beer?

- I really want a beer! - Really? Then let's go.

The thing is...

My child sent me a lot of messages.

He asks when I will come home.

So your children are waiting.

Even if I leave now, we have a plan.

So you better go.

Boy or girl?

Girl.

So you have a daughter...

I have to go back to him.

So let's go.

But where is your car?

In the parking lot.
