Original subtitles

I only walk on one side of the street.

The street I walked from Ireland with an aching heart.

And the street where the aching heart started again...

The person I gave a heartache.

The person with whom I shareda heartache.

That's why you need to practice your lines to death. It doesn't just happen magically.

It's no surprise you got scolded by the director.

I said I'm practicing. But I still can't do it right.

That's why I found you an acting teacher. That's where we're going right now.

Why are you so concerned about me?

Because we're friends.

Who said I wanted to be friends with you? I have no intention of being your friend.

That's your one-sided decision.

I told you not to call me unless you wanted to sleep with me. How many times has it been?

Let's just be friends.

You've fallen for me, right?

No.

- Why do you keep bothering me? - I'm not bothering you, I'm just...

I just want to be nice to you, since your life is always on the verge.

But I still like Joong-ah.

Yuck.

We just don't sleep together.

What's wrong with seeing each other as friends?

Why do you insist on it when I don't want to be friends? Why is it only about your convenience?

You and I cannot be friends.

When I look at you, I look at you with dirty thoughts.

You're gonna say it's not an affair, right?

We didn't sleep together.

You're having an affair with me right now. You're doing this because you want to see me. Right?

Well...

I'm not so sure...why I'm doing this.

But it's not dirty, really. We're only helping each other.

Giving a body is dirty, but giving a heart is not? You're still a married man at the end of the day.

Right.

The way I see it, it's the same thing as as if you slept with me, since you called me again.

I told you to call me when you wanted to sleep with me. And you did at the end.

No, I just wanted to be friends...

Upset...again?

- Gook. - Yes.

I saw Lee Jae-bok.

The car wash place next to the parking lot earlier...

That's where I saw him.

He's not with the security company anymore?

No.

- Because he hurt his leg? - Yes.

Well, some people who can't make it just can't make it.

Like an idiot...

And...

the person...

who gave me a heartache.

Hey hey, just go clean the inside of that car.

I'll end up inhaling all the dirt... I like water.

You're not washing the car. You keep falling and end up taking a shower. Hurry inside.

You're like a dictator just because you're my senior.

The person who gave me pain in my heart.

The person who gives me joy in my heart.

I earned a tip.

I said don't bother. I can just get some stuff from the drug store.

I'll give you a shot of vitamins.

Miss.

- You haven't heard from Jae-bok, have you? - No.

Did he get into an accident?

He didn't get into an accident.

How do you know, miss?

Because I trust Jae-bok.

Trust what?

I trust that he's practicing to walk in a place where we can't see him.

He's planning to surprise us.

So, I imagine he's living with all his effort and not getting into accidents.

So, let's trust together. Although you don't like me.

That's not true, about me not liking you.

It's just that you didn't seemed to have a normal life...

because I didn't have a normal life, when I see a complicated person, I just want to run away.

It's not about liking you, I just want to avoid it.

I feel sorry, but just want to avoid it.

Yes, I understand.

Sunny, why are you doing this? You've been good about listening to my stories.

Back then, I was only supporting Nam-jun,

I made up my mind today! From now on, I'll keep my neutral position.

If I support Nam-jun, I'll feel bad for Mr. Yoo, but if I support Mr. Yoo, I'll feel bad for Nam-jun.

I can't figure it out. You figure it out yourself, Sun...

I said to emphasize where it needs it, and give a break where it needs it. Your breath is important.

How come you can't make the lines come alive? Do it again.

Yes.

If I support Nam-jun, I'll feel bad for Mr. Yoo, but if I support Mr. Yoo, I'll feel bad for Nam-jun.

I can't figure it out. You figure it out yourself.

Oh, Mr. Yoo, how are you?

People...love.

Sunny! If you really feel bad, go apologize to Nam-jun.

Sunny, why are you doing this? You've been good at listening to my stories.

Back then, I was only supporting Nam-jun.

I made up my mind today! From now on, I'll keep my neutral position. What?

If I support Nam-jun, I'll feel bad for Mr. Yoo, but if I support Mr. Yoo, I'll feel bad for Nam-jun.

In my home country where there was frequent war, people fought with weapons,

in this quiet country with no war, people fight with sad stories.

How...

How...

Ma'am, we need to verify...

Jae-bok's father has a heart problem...

he sometimes has difficulty with breathing...

Since you're a doctor, do something about his heart.

I don't think it's true...

that something happened to him, so go check on him, miss. I don't think it's true.

Gook, take care of her.

Okay.

Hold on.

I made you my daughter in my heart. Just by myself. Without letting know anyone.

Dad.

Let me hear you breathe. Dad.

Please...let me hear it. Dad.

Dad...

She's not coming out. Are they changing the room?

I'm so nervous.

- We're closed now. - Is Mr. Lee Jae-bok here?

Hey, Jae-bok! Someone's looking for you!

Who's looking for me this late?

She was right. You are here.

What's this? What happened, Kang Gook?

Let's go.

Let go, I'm going to fall. Why would I go? Where?

You kicked me out.

But I'm still happy to see you. Should we go have a drink somewhere?

Your father passed away.

We need to go to the hospital. Let's go.

Hurry up!

I'll carry you on my back if you fall, so let's hurry up.

How did you know I was here?

Someone told me.

Who?

Shi-yeon.

Why are you seeing Han Shi-yeon? Escorting her?

No.

Let's go. Regardless.

You bastard, don't tell me to come and go. I'll go on my own.

Why am I so sleepy?

and blank...

It's because of the medicine.

- Miss. - Yes.

Are you sure? He doesn't open his eyes?

No.

I need to call the professor.

Okay.

But...then...what do I do now?

People who met with sadness. Sadness filled and overflowed.

There won't be any tears left.

Now, good-bye tears.

No, I'm not going to do it. You don't know how much I wanted to get out of that world.

This is not ero, it's a pictorial. It's art!

I want to act.

This is acting, too! Acting of facial expression.

And, the scripts that are coming in are pretty much similar. They aren't all that different.

If it's going to be that, you can take some pictures and make money. Isn't that great?

No, I'm going to act.

I'll do my best, please? Please?

Right, you can do your best and take pictures too, for now. Okay?

No! No! No!

Not the kind using my body... The ones using my words...

I want to do those.

Hey! They all found out! You can't read your lines!

Don't come down. Make sure she gets her medicine on time.

I told you not to come down!

I'm just weak on steps. I'm strong on the roads.

Get on.

The seat is too small.

Your attitude is the reason that Kang Gook doesn't like you.

Kang Gook says he hates me?

Does he have to say it? You have that know-it-all attitude.

Get on, I'll take you home.

Let's go!

Not yet! You speak slow, but your real impatient.

Let's go.

- Joong-ah. - Yeah.

- Where do you want to go? - Beach.

Beach? That's a stretch. A stretch.

- Let's go to the water. - Okay.

- Stay here, I'll go buy milk. - Okay.

- Please give me milk. Two please. Rice rolls too. - Yes.

Coke, too.

What are you doing? Holding onto someone else's pants?

I may not be able to get you up, but I can brush the dirt off from you.

You already got me up. While you were not there.

- How much is it? - It's 3,400 won.

When I draw someone's face, I feel ashamed.

Why?

I can pick out every pore and every wrinkle of someone else's face,

but I'm not sure how to draw my own face even when I look at myself in the mirror.

I don't know about good features or bad features.

I can only see whereabouts of my eyes, nose and mouth.

Those painters who do self-portraits, they're really crazy.

How do they know their faces so well?

- Pastor. - Pastor who.

Why did you quit being a pastor, Pastor?

I quit before other people could fire me.

You did something that would get you fired?

It's a difference in opinion.

What did you do?

I liked someone.

- Who? - Why do you interrogate me?

An affair?

Well, it is.

Every dog and cow's having an affair.

What am I, a dog? A cow?

You should have known better as a human being. Like me.

I tried to resist to death, but I couldn't. That's why I took you in.

What?

What? Pastor!

Did you like my mom? Really?

Tell me now.

What's up with you? Why are you pestering me today?

Tell me.

No, I didn't.

Then what do you mean?

I mean the person I liked was not your mom.

I liked the same person your mom liked.

Dad?

It's dad.

It's dad.

I'm hungry. Might as well eat something.

Dad, Happy Birthday!

Shi-yeon must be out of her mind, she's nice to me.

Happy Birthday from me, too!

Everyone's strange. I've never been treated like this on my birthday.

That's because you keep getting annoying. Sometimes you don't even talk.

Right, you always look at the flower pots on the veranda.

What are you doing to your older sister?

Older sister my butt.

I made them by mistake.

What mistake?

Look at you smile...all creepy.

- Shi-yeon. - Yeah.

Why is there no sweet and sour pork here?

Why are you looking for sweet and sour pork after eating the expensive chef's course?

I'll order one separately.

Okay, order it.

Dad, after sweet and sour pork, should we go get a foot massage?

I'm going to go home and sleep after eating.

Oh, really. You were whining about getting a birthday treat from Shi-yeon before.

That was my wish from our old house.

What are you doing really?

Shi, Shi-yeon, why are you yelling?

Why don't you go to work?

We'll just finish here and go home by ourselves.

What do you want me to do about the house that's already sold?

Then why don't you make money and buy it back? What do you want me to do?

Shi-yeon, well...I'll take care of your dad.

I have no friends.

The neighborhood we moved to is not where I can meet friends.

I have no flowers to take care of, so I keep thinking about the old house, and I keep...

I'll stop here. You'll go crazy if I keep talking, right?

Lee Jae-bok?

Why do you think ahead of him? You're going overboard. That's not it.

Your father...not about Jae-bok. That's not it.

Yes, yes...I think about Jae-bok.

I'm trying to help you here!

Dad.

I will make more money.

- I don't like money. - I like money.

I'll work hard and make money to buy the house back.

- Really? - Yes.

But go live there by yourself.

Whoever wants to live there, go live there.

I'm going to go there too.

Sure, you and dad... And you guys decide if Lee Jae-bok will stay there as well.

It might be the house of nostalgia for you dad,

To me...it's the scar of my pain trying to make enough money to buy that house.

I realized later that I was too young to go through that.

That's the house. The house that exhausted me.

Can I just take things a little easy? Can I?

What sweet and sour pork, just get up. All of you, let's get going.

Why do you have to be the party-pooper at your own party?

Shi-yeon. I'm a born whiner.

People love in a hurry.

That's why you can hear people in love

gasping for air.

- Jae-bok. - Yeah.

I was going to die here.

Are you crazy? Why die?

I realized that in the water. Right, why would I die here?

You have no idea how dirty the water is.

After drinking all that water,

You know, I can swim because I grew up on the beach.

Anyway, my stomach full of water was at least twice the size of my pregnant belly.

My stomach was hurting so much then...

Jaebok, give me some coke.

No, the baby's face will turn dark.

I don't think...rice rolls and milk work. My stomach is not well.

Then eat only one of them. Baby Kang Gook can't digest rice rolls.

So just drink milk.

Every time I come to Han River, I fill up my stomach with liquid.

So?

I forgot. What was I going to say?

Is that part of pregnancy? Loss of memory?

- I don't know. - What?

At the end of the day, I'm sitting here and laughing with you as I'm eating rice rolls...

at the place I could have died.

Now the river water looks like a movie.

Kang Gook is floating by...

Han Shi-yeon is floating by.

Noh Dong-seok, Kwon Byong-ran, Kim Bu-ja...and Han Seok-man.

The order of these people floating by...

is the trace of my life here.

Why did you drop me?

You're not in the water. You're next to me right now.

- Joong-ah. - Yeah.

Do you want me to become your brother?

No.

There are too many of my family in my heart.

Searching for my family is over.

Then there is nothing I can do for you, my Joong-ah.

Even if Kang Gook dies, I can't marry you anymore.

Why?

Before Kang Gook dies, I'll be the one to go first, from going crazy.

I don't laugh because I'm happy anymore,

I laugh because I'm afraid of crying.

I can't even work standing up.

My leg hurts.

It really hurts.

The only thing I can do for you is cleaning the bathroom of your hospital.

Are you afraid that I'd leech off of you?

Yes.

- See? - See what? I just won't let you leech off of me.

Stop talking nonsense and let's ride the motorcycle.

- Joong-ah. - What?

Is the water really that dirty?

Yes.

Is the water dirtier than my dirty life?

If I fall into the water, would the water hate me or would I hate the water?

Nonsense.

I used to be a real trash.

But I was happy back then.

Why am I like this now?

Am I trash worse than before?

Your leg's gotten so heavy, so your heart must have gotten heavy too.

It's not getting heavier. My heart is actually gone empty and disappeared.

Malnutrition of my heart.

There is not even one person in my heart.

Not even you.

We had a funeral for grandpa at the hospital,

and I had a funeral of you in my heart already.

So, don't show up in front of me.

People love.

Love is not memory...but the present.

Love is not having a heart... but taking action.

People who love have to go on living in this world.

Are you living well, Shi-yeon?

You know I'm doing great.

How big are the apartments here?

Why do you need to know?

How are my penguins?

Whatever.

It's been a while since I saw you, and you're so cold.

You're looking down me because of my leg?

Hey you stupid!

How can you ruin your body when you don't have anything else?

Didn't I say no to motorcycle? Because you'll get in an accident.

I bought the motorcycle after I hurt my leg.

Is that right? I got confused.

Girl, you yell first before you find out anything. How embarrassing...

What about the leg?

Is that how it'll always be?

Yeah.

Can't you do anything about it?

Tell me if you need money. I have money.

You're bragging about your money?

I ended up buying the motorcycle with my money.

How annoying.

When I was leeching off of you, I didn't really get much. I just ate your food.

That's why I'm saying I'm giving you money.

Instead of money, give me your promise.

What promise?

That you won't see Kang Gook.

How many times do I have to threaten you back then?

I have to see him.

I'm going to just do whatever from now on.

Go ahead.

I'm ok with it.

Is it completely a cigarette?

Is it not leaving your heart at all?

I don't know if it's a cigarette or a match, either.

But it's a fence.

The fence that you promised you were going to be only in words.

I'll give a half of my life just for that.

It's enough to forget the kind of nice person you were,

His fence is just too overwhelming.

When I see him, it's just so overwhelming, to me.

Life is quite a comedy.

People just can't have things patched up.

You're really in a 'cigarette'.

Should I just live off you, now you're rich? And not worry about anything?

Sure.

Grandpa.

Now that I don't have you, I don't feel good.

I really don't feel good.

I said I don't feel good, grandpa.

Father.

People love while holding their breath.

That's why tears come down like whisper from people who love.

What do you want me to help you with, Gook?

Why don't you ask me? Still?

What?

Lee Jae-bok. Where and how I found him.

You have to ask me for me to tell you.

Including that I kicked out Lee Jae-bok.

He's back again.

That's all that's important.

As long as you have Lee Jae-bok, you don't even hate me?

You don't even need to hate me?

I've never hated you, Gook.

There was a time I liked you.

- Joong-ah. - Yeah.

What is love anyway?

I don't know what love is...

but I know who I love.

It could change later.

To you, love is someone to stay together and be happy forever.

To me, love is someone who can be with me in unhappiness.

Rather than believing that we'll be together forever, the fact that we're together now...

is more important.

With him, even unhappiness turns into happiness.

That's dangerous love.

Yeah.

Finally I know you.

I don't like that kind of love.

I know.

Your love is peaceful and warm.

I don't like that kind of love.

We should get a divorce.

We were not a good couple,

But we can still be good parents, right?

Yes.

Let's do our best.

To our Baby Kang Gook.

Thank you for waiting for me.

I'm sorry...

that I couldn't be your love, Gook.

I'm sorry that I couldn't be your happiness, Joong-ah.
