[Episode 14: Candied Sweet Potato and
Spicy Rice Cakes with Whole Squid]

Here.

- Spicy sausage stew.
- It must be tasty.

I told you, no.

Are they fighting or what?

A little past midnight

we heard the sound of people fighting
coming from outside all of a sudden.

Kyung Nam or Jeon Nam,
whatever your name is, no means no.

Why not?

Because I said no.

- Please.
- Wait a second, why don't we...

Come here.

Come in.

Come in.

Please...

- Please give us the menu.
- There is no menu.

If you order something,
I make it for you.

I see.

What do you want?

I don't feel like eating.

Director, if you don't
give me permission

then I'm going to go
on a hunger strike.

I guess he's on a diet.

Then...

please give me a beer...

and make me candied sweet potato.

Potatoes.

Okay.

Isn't it usually made
with sweet potatoes?

Can it be made with potatoes too?

Yeah. It's not like
it's the buttered potatoes

that you eat at rest stops.

Candied sweet potato.

It's a dish I learned
how to make in the army

from a comrade who was born
in Gangwondo.

For something that's not even sweet,
it's quite the delicacy.

The reason why the two people raised
their voices in the middle of the night

was this.

I'm really going to
risk my life and do it.

Please accept me as your disciple.

Hey, do something else
with that devotion.

Seriously, this is driving me crazy.

Here are the potatoes you ordered.

Excuse me,
I eavesdropped unintentionally.

But, I overheard that
you're a famous movie director.

You don't know our Director Song?

You don't know Director Song?

By Director Song, you mean...

the erotic series?

That's right.

He's the last hope of
the world of Korean erotica

and the master of erotica,
Director Song.

Oh, that guy.

You know him, right?
The Steven Spielberg of erotica.

We're starting now.
Ready and action!

Good. She approaches slowly
and enchantingly.

That's right. Good.

Then, as she does that

Eun Sook gazes enchantingly
toward the camera.

Look at it.

Okay!

Why are doing this when we're eating?
It's embarrassing.

Director.

You know your autobiographical movie,
'The Erotica Director Song'?

I watched that more than 10 times.

At first, I just wanted to
watch an erotic movie

so I saw it without thinking at all.

But, I was deeply touched by
your aestheticism and erotica philosophy.

What's aestheticism and
erotica philosophy? Do you know?

Well, it just means something like that
he makes the naked look beautiful.

Especially at the end

there was a crane shot of you
walking across the set alone

after completing the movie.

It was a long take at that.

We didn't have money for production
at that time so...

That last line.

The famous line from 'Midnight Cowboy,'
'I'm walking here.'

You were paying homage to that, right?

I mixed it up a bit with
my movie, 'Midnight Gown-boy.'

But, it's good for me if you look at it
in a favorable light like that.

That's why as soon as
I got out of the army

I came to see you right away like this,
after stopping by my house.

Even so, why would you blindly
come to see me like this?

I'm in a situation where
I can't even take care of my own thing.

Why would a director of erotic movies
take care of himself?

No, I mean, Director.

You are the mentor of my life.

Stop calling me a 'mentor'
or whatever, man.

Director.

The filmmaking field is already
cold and starves you enough.

It's worse for the erotic genre.

It's a world where eroticism is dead,
and porn on the Internet is dominating.

Director, I can endure the cold,
and hunger better than anyone else.

I am confident. Please accept me.

Even if you don't order me
to do anything

and just let me
at least stay by your side.

Then, I'll work with passion for pay...

No, actually, I will work
with passion for free.

Please, Director.

Excuse me, can you please
make something for this fellow too?

You're accepting me, Director?

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

What should I make for you?

Just anything that goes well
with the potatoes.

Hey, how can a person who's going to
become a director have no self-assertion?

Then, can you make
spicy rice cakes with whole squid?

Is that made by topping
the spicy rice cakes with squid?

Yes. How do you know that?

So, you know.

I told you to eat something tasty.

But, you're just eating
spicy rice cakes?

If you dip potato mat tang
in the soup, it tastes really good.

Thank you.

Are you really...

working for free?

Yes, it really doesn't matter.

I'll pay you a bit.

Thank you.

- Cheers.
- I will work hard.

Here.

- Is this it?
- Yes.

Spicy rice cakes with squid.

Thank you for the meal.

This is great.

- Can I take a potato please?
- Yeah, eat it.

You put the potato...

in like this.

After that, Director Song
and that young man

became regulars at our restaurant.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hello.

I'll have candied potatoes.

You can just give me a beer.

You're not eating
spicy rice cakes today?

No, I need to starve
in order to think well.

Director, I thought of this while
I was looking at this scenario yesterday.

In this scene, sofas...

That young man was working hard
to learn as much as he could.

We could install a swing
and go back and forth.

What do you mean,
go back and forth?

You're not in your right mind.

Do that when you become
a director yourself.

Don't ruin my work.

Potatoes and a glass of beer.

Thank you.

It turns out that this fellow
is surprisingly persistent.

I thought he would give up quickly.

There are several occasions where
the assistant directors in our field

run away without even lasting a day.

Even if he quibbles

it seems that Director Song
was happy that he had a disciple.

Ready and action.

Cut!

Seriously, this bastard.
What are you doing right now?

If you're going to work,
then do it properly, man.

I did exactly what was in the script.

That heated touch,
and follow the feeling exactly as it is...

Hey, emotions are alive
at the fingertips too.

Just as you make pottery
with moist and soft clay

if you softly touch her from behind,
then the feeling...

Try it.

We're talking,
so get this out of the way.

It's making me angry.

Haven't you even seen
those kinds of things?

Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger
in 'Nine and a Half Weeks.'

You don't know that?

What is that, Director?

Director, doesn't that mean
'knife' in Korean?

Hey, let's rest for a bit
and then resume.

A 10-minute break.

After that, it was around when
about two months had passed.

Long time no see.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Long time no see.

Were you that busy?

I'll have candied potatoes.

I think I'll have to really
starve a bit starting today.

Hey, man, eat when you can.

You won't be able to eat tomorrow
even if you want to anyway.

Why? Is something happening?

This fellow will be making his debut
as a director tomorrow.

It hasn't even been long since
you've become an assistant director

yet you're already becoming a director.

We mainly make contracts with actors
on a daily wage.

But the production company's CEO came

and said we have to make
at least two movies a week.

Then, you film one movie
every three or four days?

Yes, it's possible for us.

It's not like we really need
a complete story in particular.

If we don't have costumes,
the actors can just film naked.

If we borrow a pension house,
then we have the setting.

As for the sweat, we just need to
spray water and put on makeup.

- It's possible.
- Hey.

Hey, that's not normal though.

I'm sorry.

That's a thug, not a producer.

A thug who can't distinguish
between porn and eroticism.

That's what I'm saying.

Sometimes, the producer brings
a photographer from outside

and takes sexy photos for pictorials
after tempting powerless actresses.

Stop. I'm already pissed off as it is.

I was going to just quit
and come out today...

but my wife texted me

asking if I sent money for
my kid's private school fees.

It was perfect timing.

So...

to have this fellow make his debut...

I decided to put up with it
and just do it.

Thank you, Director.

Director, I haven't decided on
a cue sign yet.

Would 'ready, go' be better,
or would 'ready, action' be better?

Well, try it out.

Number one.

Ready... go!

This is number one

and this is number two.

Ready... action!

- This is fifty-fifty.
- What do you two think?

I don't know much.

But, I think the second one's better
since it's dynamic.

No, it's not very good
if a director's too undignified.

I like intellectual things.
Number one.

Every time I ask people,
the opinions are divided in half.

I don't know what to do.

Hey, man.

- Just think about the continuity.
- Okay.

Then again, I was like that too
when I directed for the first time.

What did you do, Director?

Don't even talk about it.
I was nervous during my first shoot.

So, I said, 'Ready... cut!'

No way.

These are congratulatory spicy rice cakes.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

But, Director, out of the movies
that you filmed

which ones do you find the most memorable
and feel the most attached to?

Well, I would have to say the ones
that mixed genres

and that I tried something new with
are the most memorable to me.

- Mixed...
- Yeah.

Didn't you say before
that you've seen it too?

The movie in which the melodrama genre
was combined with eroticism.

- 'The Oneness of Two People.'
- That movie was amazing.

- There was one sequel.
- I couldn't watch the sequel.

Then, there was the one in which
I tried mashing the apocalyptic genre

together with eroticism.

'Until Dawn Because It's So Blissful.'

Then, the one that
I would say I value the most

is the one about a prostate cancer patient
who sets out to find new love

and discovers a new world.

'The Man with an Erection.'

It's a movie that was made into a drama
because it had two sequels.

It's the most memorable to me.

Erection...

Director, try eating it the way
I tell you to like this today.

Dip it in like this.

This combination is amazing.

It slightly tastes
both sweet and sour.

- I...
- Because of the cheese, as you eat...

You know what fondue is, right?

It seems a bit like fondue too.

Won't this be a little spicy?

This much spiciness isn't bad.

How is it?

I don't think cheese is really for me.

I think that I just like this taste,
which I've longed for.

Hello?

What's up?

Cerebral infarction?

Excuse me for a second.

Yeah, sis. So, what happened?

It won't cause a big problem or anything
immediately right now, right?

I can't go right now. I'm busy.

I'm sorry.

What's the matter?

No, it's not a big deal.

I think it is a big deal.

I was told that my mother,
who lives in my hometown, fainted.

No, apparently it's just
a mild cerebral infarction.

Go quickly and visit her.

It's okay.

I'm filming my first movie tomorrow.

Besides, my older sister is there.

I can also go on the weekend
after we finish filming.

Hurry up and go!

What's more important, your mother
or a mere erotic movie shoot?

I'll delay the shoot,
so hurry up and go!

Don't end up...

Don't end up like me.

- Just leave.
- Mother.

You...

don't need to come to
Ga Eun's wedding.

I'll just tell our in-laws that you can't
come because you have a lot of work.

Still, I'm her oldest brother.

I'm glad you brought that up.

You're the eldest son...

in this household.

Aren't you ashamed to
face your younger siblings?

Why did you oddly go astray by yourself
onto a path like that?

Your father still can't hold his head up
around the family.

If your father finds out that
you set foot in here

Ga Eun will be kicked out too.

Leave quickly before your father comes.

Brother.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

This...

I'm sorry that I can't be of much help.

Congratulations on your marriage...

and you have to live happily, okay?

Going way back

our family has consisted of educators
from generation to generation.

My siblings, father, and mother
all have teaching jobs.

My younger sister's fiance
and his parents are all teachers too.

Yet, I'm the only one who came out
to go into filmmaking and the arts.

In doing that...

I've ended up in this state.

For 20 years after that...

I haven't visited my hometown
even once.

This time...

is your last chance...

to visit your hometown.

Go and come back.

But, Director...

This is a command.

Go and come back.

Okay.

Let's give it a go.
Ready... action.

Hey, cut, cut, cut.

- What are you doing?
- Excuse me?

Listen carefully.

One of the philosophies
that I have about movies

is that the most important thing
in kissing scenes

is the angle, in my opinion.

Depending on which angle
the kissing scene is filmed at

it can look beautiful,
and it can look ugly at times too.

Hey, why are you doing that
with the light?

Some guy kept doing that too
a little while ago.

Why would you give him the light, man?

The angle is important.

Tilt your head just a bit
from this position.

You come in just like that.

That's right. Try it one more time
with this kind of feeling.

Okay.

Don't do it stiffly, man.

Okay, Director.

[Home in Andong]

Yes, hello?

Still, I think it was a good thing
that I went to visit.

My mother was very happy.

Is she okay?

Well, they said she has to
be hospitalized for a while.

Still, it's pretty good that
it was just something mild.

That's truly a relief.

But...

you're saying that
our director didn't come here, right?

Yeah.

That's strange.

I haven't been able to get a hold of him
since the day before yesterday.

It's the first shoot tomorrow.

I can't do anything
without our director.

The customer you are calling
is unavailable...

Director, everything is ready.

You can't get a hold of
Director Song, right?

Yes, he's not picking up.

Let's start.

- Stand by.
- Okay.

Actors, we'll start once you're ready.

Please pay attention to
the angle of the kiss.

Okay, ready...

action!

Congrats. I heard that you filmed well.

Yes, thank you.

But, where is it premiering?

It's not for showing in theaters.
It's for IPTV.

- I'll be sure to find it and watch it.
- Thank you.

Let me visit when you film.

A heap of rice.

I was so hungry that
I thought I was going to die.

I starved myself through the whole shoot.

I didn't even feel like eating,
and my lips were drying up.

The hunger hit me
after the shoot ended.

I now understand...

what the director meant when he said,
'Eat when you can.'

Where's your master?

I don't know.
His cell phone's turned off.

Director.

Please give me some liquor.

Where have you been?
I called you so many times.

I visited my hometown.

You said you haven't visited for 20 years.

Why did you go all of a sudden?

My younger sister...

called me out of the blue.

Face me.

Our mom's so pretty.

Mom, Brother is here.

Welcome.

What is your name, young man?

Where do you live, young man?

Seoul.

Seoul?

That's the same place
that my son lives.

Did you come here for business?

No.

I came to visit my mother.

Your mother must be very happy.

She would be, right?

Of course.

My son...

never visits, so I'm sad.

I'm not sure why he's so busy.

I don't get a single call
from him either.

Mother.

I wonder if I'll be able to see him...

before this year ends.

Mother.

Mother, it's me. Your eldest son.

Mother.

Do you know my son?

Do you know him?

- Mother.
- Do you know my son?

Then, can you take this to him?

This.

Can you take this to my son?

Okay, it's all done.

- Bring a container to put it in.
- Okay.

Hey, where's the rice syrup?

[Hyun Mi vinegar]

It must be tasty.

It's candied potatoes.

It's the food that
my son liked most.

All of the other family members
liked candied sweet potatoes.

But, only he liked the potato one

saying that the sweet potato one
was too sweet.

I was tired at that time.

So, I would yell,
'Why are you only like that?'

I scolded him...

a lot.

It was so warm and heavy.

Here.

You guys should taste it.

Here you go.

I'm eating this for the first time
in 20 years.

The candied potatoes
made by my mom.

It's cold, but please enjoy it.

Thank you.

It tastes... good.

It seems that his mother,
who has dementia...

probably put in vinegar
instead of starch syrup.

She put in a lot of it at that.

But, no one left any of his mother's
potatoes uneaten that day.

I grew up without a father too.

You acted like you were so smart.

It's a sick person again?

The rice that my mom packed
always smelled like the hospital.

How come you don't gain weight,
even though you eat more than me?

What exactly is the reason?

- Pregnancy.
- What? Pregnancy?

I should increase
the declining birth rate of Korea.

[Sweetie, happy birthday. Study hard.]

Detective?

- You're saying you two are friends?
- Why?

Is it weird because
a detective and gangster are friends?

I looked around for you a lot.

You remember Yeon Jung, right?

It hurts a lot.

I guess there's nothing
I can do anymore.

He says he really wants to
meet you once before he dies.

[Late Night Restaurant]

Keep up the hard work.

How can these girls
not show up even once?

Honestly, once they get a man...

I'm lonely.

- You enjoyed it.
- Let's go.

Okay.

Should we nickname our baby 'Whelk'?

I'll buy you enough whelk
to last you a lifetime.

Really?

You're cool.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

- It's this way.
- No, it's this way.

Look at these pants.

My wife said that it's going to rain,
and my pants will get wet.

Hello? Mother?

Yes, what are you doing?

Anything you want to eat?

Seriously, it's too sour.

Is my tongue numb?

What do I do?

Mom, I love you.

Yeah. Who did you say is the judge
for the Erotic Movie Actor Contest?

Kim Seung Woo? Yeah, that guy likes
those kinds of things.

Yeah.

Do it since it's cheap.
