-Soeun! -Yes?

-Is Sunmi hospitalized? -Yes, just been there

Is she alright?

She broke her leg

She has to stay there for 2 weeks

Must have been some bicycle trick

How did you find out so soon?

Well... I was on the back seat

Is everything OK?

4 minutes 58 seconds!

Wait, wait a minute, a new record!

A Women's touch beat the men's superiority!

Hey, just a moment something's wrong...

A transistor is missing

How am I supposed to assemble the damn thing?

Who gave me this?

Common, give it up. Accept it!

No excuses. Take it like a man!

You lose and game's over

Drinks on you

Anyway

...this is all I have

Gotta run!

C'mon, wait!

Excuse me...

Soeun?

Soeun!

Oh! Donghee...Is that you?

Yes, I've returned

I see...

What's this?

Yeah, it's my hobby

You're a HAM? Surprising...

I like it

I see...OK then, see you later

By the way,

...thanks for the letters you sent while I was in the Army

You've sent so many

Bye now

I just wanted to take a look

I'm sorry

-Do you smell alcohol on my breath? -Yes, a little...

It's all because of that piece of junk

I also had to pay for the drinks

It's old and broken

Can't even find the parts

Take it!

When it's besides you,

you'll have many drinking days

Thank you. Donghee!

Oh! Soeun

You're really into it

Is it yours?

-What? -That!

-Yes -Is it yours?

-It's mine, alright? -What?

-Yeah, sure... -Yes, it's mine

-It's lots of fun -Really?

-Goodbye -Bye

You alright?

Hey, take it easy!

Might hurt yourself waving

So?

What's so great about him talking to you?

So weird

Couldn't breathe and blood gushing to my head

When he calls my name. Soeun...Soeun...

My name sounds so pretty

Soeun...Soeun...

Soeun...

I'll get another bed here. You're sicker than me

You have no idea...

When he looks at me, he looks at my eyes

Left and right

One at a time. He could look elsewhere but...

..always the same

Left eye and right eye

Then where do you look?

Me? Don't remember

Anyway, I feel like my heart might burst...

and every muscle in my body twitches

Is this love?

I know how you feel but I don't think that's love

You've felt it before?

It felt like my heart would burst...

...and every muscle in my body twitched

You came to me when I fell and said

Sunmi, you alright?

You were looking at my eyes one at a time

Then... Oh my God! I must be in love with you

You!

Sungsu Bridge is now open to the public

President Park participated in the opening ceremony...

...and discussed the environmental effects

There'll be a lunar eclipse tonight. Should we watch?

Sunmi's in the hospital?

Calling CQ, CQ, CQ. This is DS1 AVO

Calling CQ, CQ, CQ. This is DS1 AVO

Delta Sierra One Alpha Victor Oscar Anyone copy?

Calling CQ, CQ, CQ. This is DS1 AVO

Delta Sierra One Alpha Victor Oscar Anyone copy?

Hello? What did you say?

Oh, Sunmi! You scared me

No, I was just doing something

Where are you?

Right, in the hospital

What? You're crazy to come out

What's so great about the eclipse?

Tomorrow? OK, I'll stop by

Hello?

Soeun!

Yes?

-Are you busy today? -Not really

You want to see a play?

A play?

I'm not really into plays but a friend of mine directed it

He'd kill me if I didn't show up

So he just wants me to show my face...

but I didn't want to go alone

-So if you like plays... -Yes, I like them!

What is the title?

Well...it was too long to remember

Let's find out when we get there

-Anyway, 7 o'clock, OK? -Yes

OK, then...

Oh! Donghee!

What?

I forgot. I have an engagement

Oh, yeah?

What can you do? It's my fault anyway

Asking for a date at the last minute doesn't work

I guess last minute things only work with Rugby

-OK, I'm leaving then -Yeah...

Then...

What's with the long face? What's wrong?

Nothing...Do your parents know you're going out?

Don't worry I'll tell them you talked me into it

Where do you wanna go with that broken leg?

Remember my friend Miyoon? Her boyfriend directed a play

I promised her I would go

Play? What's the title?

Title? Let me see... I forgot

Too long to remember anyway

Our life has so many turns, so let's leave when there's applause

You came!

-And? -My friend, Sunmi

-How do you do? -Hi...

Have a seat

You'd better go now. Are you gonna be alright?

Yes. Need a little exercise. Nice meeting you

Are you sure? You'd have to go up the stairs?

Don't worry. Bye

Let's go

Do you go right to sleep?

Not right away. Wash my face, read...

-What about HAM radio? -What? Yes, sometimes

-You have to teach me someday -Sorry?

Sure, someday...

Hello?

Thanks for responding. I'll introduce this OP

QRA is DS1 AVO

QTH is Kangnamku Chungdamdong

Attending Shilla University

My name is JEE as in Jesus IN as in in-and-out. JEE, IN

Signal 59 receiving you loud and clear

Turning it over to you. DS1 AVO

Hello?

Contacted! Are you a novice?

What I mean is... Have you ever tried this before?

No...

I see...understandable...

But once you get used to it, it's easier than chatting

I'm Jee In. How do you do?

Hi, Mr. Ahm Jeein my name's Yoon, Soeun

Not Ahm Jeein, Jee, In. IN is my first name

Oh, I'm sorry. Have you been doing this a long time?

Only a few years

You'll get used to it. It's more fun than you think

I have to learn. Would you teach me?

Of course!

I've got a book for beginners I'll let you borrow it

I go to Shilla University. Are you a student?

Oh! I go to the same school!

Wow! What a coincidence!

How come you didn't join the HAM club?

What? Oh, I just- - -

I see, trying it all by yourself, huh?

Interesting. I'll give you the book at school tomorrow

Tomorrow?

-Sorry, I must be rushing you -No, it's not that...

-I really appreciate it -OK, then

Where should we meet?

How about the Clock Tower? In front of the main building

-The one they are building? -Pardon?

OK. We'll meet at 2p.m.

See you then. I'll give the final call

Thank you

Down with dictatorship!

Hey! What the hell are you doing?

Am I standing in front of the main building?

What are you talking about?

-Is that the main building behind me? -Of course!

This is the Clock Tower, right?

Are you mad? Of course it is!

OK. Then, go

One more thing. Is this Shilla University?

You were actually waiting for me, weren't you?

You wanted to get my sympathy by looking like that...

...and become like a hero in a movie

Yeah, I was actually waiting for you

I came to this school to meet you and the purpose of my birth is you

My family motto is Love Hyunji

I have your name tattooed on my back.Satisfied?

But I think it's odd to wait for a stranger for 2 hours in the rain?

I've never seen her. So I waited for her

Frankly, I wouldn't wait for you. Understand?

Bastard!

What?

Hello?

-Go home and get some rest -I'm going

-Home? -You don't have to know

-Why not? -It's none of your business

Hey, leave me the umbrella

How come you didn't show up?

Well, I could understand

If you are not in college. It's not a big deal to be in college

You don't have to have a complex

I could understand if you're not very good looking

When you saw a good looking guy like me

...you didn't have the guts to face me

What are you talking about?

I was waiting for you for over 2 hours getting dust all over me

Dust?

You mean, dust in the rain?

Rain? What rain?

What are you talking about? It's bright and sunny

Really?

Are you sure you're in Korea? Not Japan or China?

Wait a minute!

45a. Can't you hear the sound?

It's been raining for days. Are you saying I'm crazy?

Stop pulling my leg and turn off the shower!

What the f...!

Calling CQ, CQ, CQ... This is DS1 AVO

Delta Sierra One Alpha Victor Oscar Anyone copy?

That's bullshit!

Even soldiers don't fight if they're not fed

And you did what with a disconnected HAM radio?

It doesn't make sense, right?

Then something's wrong with the radio?

No, something's wrong with you!

What's up?

He's gone mad. I think he's been struck by lightning

Then he should be back to normal

-He was a strange one -You're right

Right, I wish I was struck by lightning

What are you doing?

Fixing something

Why do you need both of you to fix it?

Sir, why don't you take her? She's bothering me

Why are you bothering him?

Go home. It's not the place for a girl

Is this a boys' dorm or something?

Hyunji, my friend. Get lost!

Frankly, I can't even find a hole because of you!

Isn't that a simple machine? You just talk and listen

-I've been waiting for you -I just got home

-I see, got home late -Why, did you wait for me?

I don't think we have anything to talk about

Well...I just wanna apologize... I was rude

Guess it's raining still?

Not today

So, what grade are you in?

A junior

Oh, you're older... I'm a sophomore

Wait! Then should I call you older sister?

No, you don't have to do that. I don't want a little brother like you

We should be the same age since I went to school a year early

Came to school in 77

Oh, I see

-What year did you say? -Yes? Why?

I thought I heard it wrong

77. Did you hear it right this time?

No, I heard it wrong again. Just a minute, you mean...

...when you say 77, does it mean the year 1977?

We usually say 77 short for 1977

If you're joking, it's not funny

What?

What I mean is

you sound so sincere

How do you do that?

We are the same age and go to the same school...

...but I came to school in 77

Short for 1977

So, you came in 1999 and now you attend school in the year 2000?

Last time I checked.

If you're right, you're talking to me after the end of the world

Finished?

What year is this?

What? What the hell's wrong?

I'm going. Are you going?

What?

So... You were flirting with someone old?

You pervert, or maybe she is

She entered school in 1977. But she's still in school

I don't think she's neither kidding nor crazy

Hey, that's simple

She got into school in 1977 and she's now a junior

Yeah, she had some time off, maybe for 20 years?

Maybe she was in the Army for a long time...

...or got married and had babies

Why are you here? Your bus doesn't stop here

It's too late for the bus. We'll take a cab

I'll drop you off

Donghee!

Oh, Soeun

Have a seat here

What are your plans after graduation?

Such serious subject over lunch

Well...maybe office worker? Or...

A politician? A congressman?

I'm interested in politics but you never know

Who knows? I may just play around before the world ends?

-It won't end -What?

You know they say the world will end in 1999

But it won't

How do you know?

Well, isn't it a happy thought anyhow?

I see...

Don't you like this? I'll eat it

No wonder I couldn't find you

Who'd think you'd be in the library?

What do you want?

A letter from your parents in America

What are you doing with my letter?

You never open your mailbox. You should thank me

OK.

By the way, how do I checkout books? I've never done it

I knew it. Wait here

Ma'am!

What's the procedure for checking out books?

Fill out the form and I need student I.D.

Student I.D.? No one carries that

How about a driver's license?

Don't you have class?

We have the same classes

When you don't have one, I don't have one

Stop annoying me

Annoying? Bastard!

I'm not a humanist. I don't have time to annoy assholes like you

Here. Read it

Damn it. Why are you telling me to read my letter?

You read it. I'm sure it's nothing

Do you really want me to read it?

-Oh my god! -What?

What handwriting!

She writes like a young person. Meticulous and pretty

Just read it. Ask me if you run into a difficult word

So complicated. So many things happened in October, 1979

So complicated. The house, weather, Dad

Anyway, she wants you to write often

PS. You didn't forget mom's birthday?

What's the date today?

Today? 5th, why?

Forgot to send her present!

Hey, are you making fun of me?

Wear it when you get better

You'll get better quicker to wear it

Thanks, my friend

I should have gotten you a short skirt

So you won't ride a bicycle

Leaving so soon?

Sorry. Let's celebrate when you get better

You're really blinded by love, aren't you?

-Go, fly to your love -I'm flying

Sorry to make you wait

You didn't have to come out so quickly

-It's OK. Let's go -OK

Oh, Lord!

I was saying...

In Year 2000, do you think people still talk at night?

As long as there's night, people will still talk at night

It's late. I have to go

Are your parents strict?

No, but I have to jump over the wall if it's too late

How can a wall come between us?

It was a line from the movie we saw

Oh, I see...

Have to go. Gotta make it before the curfew

Your face...tiny

Calling CQ, CQ, CQ...

Yes, you're in 1979 and I'm in 2000

And one of us is being very silly

Or one of us is seriously crazy

Let me ask you one thing

Do you recall anything on the news from yesterday?

I don't even know why we're talking in the first place

But sure... Youngsam Kim was expelled from the National Assembly

Student demonstrations are everywhere

Do you have a 1979 archive or something?

What?

No. Nothing

Does it say that the expelled person would be a president 14 years later?

What the hell are you talking about?

Soeun, listen

In this world, there are many unexplainable incidents

Those always...come on TV

I thought they were made up

If you keep talking nonsense, let's stop

I know it must be nonsense to you. So we couldn't go on

But listen carefully!

You're a junior in 1979 and...

I'm a sophomore and my calendar says it's Year 2000

It's your news for tomorrow

Pusan will be placed under martial law

At school, a completion ceremony for the clock tower will be held

But it'll be postponed. The Dean will have a heart attack

What?

Ah...you must respect the Dean

But don't worry. He'll be back next month for the ceremony

Oh, yeah? Don't you have any other news?

Like a mermaid found in the river or an earthquake in Seoul

How about the death of the President?

The President will die on the 26th of this month

But no mermaid nor an earthquake

OK, I'm not asking you to believe me. We'll talk tomorrow

Sure. Let's stop. It's the Curfew time already

The Curfew...

Jesus!

PUSAN UNDER MATIAL LAW

The completion ceremony for the clock tower will be postponed...

Hello?

Hey, you responded right away. In a hurry?

Who are you? What's going on?

It's simple. I live in 2000

I can find information about 1979 just like that

Does that mean you believe that I live in 1979?

I have no choice

Then it's my turn to believe

You probably have no choice

Donghee...

What's up?

Waiting for you. Are you free this afternoon?

Gee, I've got something on

Would it finish late?

Anything wrong?

No, I just...

I don't mean to refuse a surprise date offer

It's OK.

Going home?

No, I have to stop by the hospital

Oh, the broken leg! She's funny

Yes, she's nice and pretty

Gotta go

-OK -Bye

Let's go

So a guy from Year 2000 is making a pass at you?

No, I don't think he's a bad guy

See? You're already falling for him

Falling for who?

You're already falling for someone whom you've never met

He must be a con artist. Call the police

He's trying to get to your soft side...

...by lying about Year 2000

Let's get him arrested

-Sunmi... -Yeah

He does live in Year 2000

I understand

I know when you love someone,

you don't want to meet another person

So let him be

Why am I still in a cast?

We should set some rules

Don't know how we're communicating but...

I could give you a fortune beyond your imagination...

...but that's morally wrong

A fortune?

Related to personal wealth

For example, I could tell you real estate information

Or I could tell you what stock to buy and strike it rich

I agree. Shouldn't do that

But I'm from the past and you're in the future

So I'm more curious

Curiosity?

Naive curiosity

How's the future world?

I guess compared to 1979, it's very convenient

Subways are everywhere under the city

What about the Unification?

Ilsung Kim is dead but no Unification yet

Gosh, he dies too

We can travel to Mt. Kumkang in the north though

Wow, must be exciting!

Is it beautiful? Worth living in the world?

As always, the world is a good place to be in

Of course, there is pollution and population problems

So some people reminisce about what it used to be like

Really? Um... I wonder what they reminisce about...

I wish I could see the year 2000

I wish I could show you

This world is full of things you were imagining...

I mean, things you couldn't imagine became reality

In that world,

...if you really love someone is there a way to make him love me?

I don't think it will ever be invented

Oh, are you in love?

Oops! No!

It's OK. I'm from a different world anyway

I don't know the definition of love

but I can guess it

He...looks at my eyes each one at a time

He... What am I saying?

I only say to this to my diary

I can be your diary for a while. A talking diary

Have you someone you love?

Me?

Yes, I do

How much did you drink? I can smell your alcohol from last night

Not last night. This morning. Hangover chaser!

Hey, get closer!

Be quiet and keep a straight face

I can't keep a straight face when I'm with him

Don't open your mouth. It stinks

So are you still talking to that woman from 1979?

Why ask? You don't even believe me

I believe you

You're communicating with someone from 1979 every night

You're interested in her

But you can't do shit... because she's from another time

I believe that

What the hell are you saying? And watch your language

You start cursing when you get jealous

Did you say jealous?

Do you think I feel jealous about that crazy women...

...and the show you're putting on?

I think...

You... You're too happy

Nothing to worry about

So you're looking for something different

Please, don't include me in it!

Looking for Donghee?

Not really...

-He got hurt during a demonstration -What?

He's in the hospital behind the school. He just checked in

I see...

Oh, Soeun!

Do I look that bad?

I don't know I had bad luck or I'm just not coordinated

I'm the only one who fell

Got a pen?

Sign it. So it will get better quicker

Got to go. I'll stop to see Sunmi on the way

-Right! She's in here, too -Downstairs

The president will be changed this month anyway

Thank you. I hope you're right

I inscribed my name on him

Interesting, you mean like a tattoo?

Sort of. It's weird to think I have my name on him

I feel like I own him

An arm is swinging with my name. He's walking, swinging me

Sorry? It's similar to my parents' story

That's what my Mom wrote when she met Dad

Your Mom?

Oh! My parents went to the same university as us

Let me see... Entered the school in 1977

Why didn't I think of that? They're going to school with you!

Oh my god! Who are they? I'd know them!

My Mom's Sunmi Hur, and my Dad's name is Donghee Jee

Do you know them?

Of course. We've the same major...

Do you know them well?

Not really, just...

You say your father's name was Donghee?

Yes, you know him? They were a famous couple

Yes, of course...

Wow...I can't believe this!

They look very good together

Wow...how's my mother? What's her nickname?

You...

Is this a fad?

Who is it?

What the hell?!

Visiting my friend

Something wrong? Jesus!

Are you drunk?

What am I, an alcoholic?

No, it can't be. It's all a lie

How can he be in 2000? Does that make sense?

I'm gonna turn that crook over to the police

What an accident! Hur Sunmi

-Are you sure that's true? -I'm positive!

It can't be Hyunji. You sure it wasn't someone else?

I thought I was dying. That's a very famous bar

Are you sure it was Hyunji? Did you see her?

-Not too close but... -You're full of it

Her clothes and make up were exactly the same

She must be in need of money

Hi!

Are we talking about Hyunji working at the bar?

-You knew? -You guys didn't know?

See? I told you

She works there because she likes to drink

You are very quiet today...

It's one of those days

Have you met my parents?

They look so good together

I wish everything looked so good

How's your boy friend?

I was thinking maybe...

We're not destined to be with each other

Not everything's destined for each other

You say a destination before you leave, not when you get there

Finally, I'm out!

You scared me. Don't ever do that

Soeun, what's wrong? Aren't you happy that I'm back?

I'm all better

I don't feel like fooling around

Want some?

Hello

Going to my parents' country house

To get something

Have you been drinking?

Stupid! Am I an alcoholic?

When do you come back? Be careful

OK

It's a good luck charm, Soeun

How do you feel?

Can I keep this as a souvenir?

Soeun?

What brings you here?

I just wanted to see you

I heard you left school early

So I was worried

Don't worry. Everything's fine

Wanna take a walk?

Can you grab my arm?

Can you do it?

Do you have a boyfriend?

If anybody sees us, they'll think we're lovers

Are you here to say that?

Sort of...

If we are lovers, they'd know even if we're not holding hands

People are in mourning for the death of President Park...

who passed away at 7:50pm on the 26th

House Representative Choi has taken over the Presidency...

...and the Defense Minister...

Going to school?

Honey? Honey!

It's OK. There won't be a war or anything

Everything will be fine

Soeun! Soeun!

Hi!

Everything you said came true. Dictatorship will be over

I'm sure you didn't foresee the future

but everything you said became reality

In!

Did you find out?

Hey, hold your horses... Did you find out?

She is no longer here

Passed away? Dead? Is she sick?

She was transferred to Chonan University 2 years ago

-What? -She is an English professor

Was she ill? I saw her picture and she was beautiful

She's still single

No

So she transferred voluntarily?

Yes, we didn't want to let her go but she had personal reasons

Same year I came to school

If she were to choose my father...

...and married him, what would happen to me?

Then...

That can't happen

Because the world is one

we live in the dimension that is parallel to time

There can't be another dimension with the same organism

This can't be proven by science...

What the hell am I saying?

Anyway, I don't believe in any of this

Your agony is an interesting S/F melodrama

But I'm not really interested. That's it. No more!

I don't believe in that machine

...either with or without electricity

communicating with a woman from the past!

What's this? Is this an alarm also?

Yes

This is Soeun

I was searching for you but I couldn't connect

Well....

I travelled for a few days

I'm sorry

I broke up with him

He wasn't right for me

As you told me, I wanted to find out if he was my destination

But I didn't think it was right

So I let go of him from my heart

And I walked for a long time

Walked every corner of the school

They say people live with a scent

And they scatter the scent everywhere

When the scent is gone, they die

But some people still have the scent after death

And some people pass on the scent to others

Then it can spread everywhere

I know his scent

I'd recognize it with my eyes closed

Him and I. We definitely live with the same emotion

Same sorrow, same joy

We'd keep the same scent and live forever

The feeling that I have in 1979

I'm sure you will be able to feel it in 2000

You think it's right after all these years?

I just want to say I'm sorry

If not, just want to see her face. See if she's all right

I wish she'd look happy

If she looks sad or depressed, what am I going to do?

I couldn't stand it

In!

Go!

Thanks

-Professor Yoon here? -She's in class. Room 1

Soeun. I saw you today

You looked so beautiful and happy

You seemed to be doing well

When you pass me by...

I could feel your scent you talked about

I don't think it's working anymore

This radio...

It's a bad thing!

Hey, hey... What are you doing this late?

You guys again?

Nothing... Fixing something...

Is that the way to fix it?

Trying to destroy it?

Won't be easy

Go home. That's how time passes

No one will believe what we've been through for the last several months. Right

He's right. That's how time passes

There's nothing we can do to change what is meant to be

You want to grab my arm?

Why all of a sudden?

-Do it! -You're embarrassing me
