Original subtitles

Make a turn at the house with a green roof

you'll see a small alley.

You just have to go down the alley.

I see. I got it.

Then, can I park here?

Yes, it should be fine.

But leave your number there, just in case.

—Yes, I see. —Yeah.

—Thanks. —See you soon.

Passing Summer

There are many old ladies around here.

So please turn off the lights

and go to bed after 10.00pm.

We get quite a lot of complaints.

So there won't be any barbecue parties at night?

No.

We don't do that here.

You can drink alcohol at the café

but not in the room.

You might disturb the other guests

who need to wake up early.

But I'm the only guest today, right?

Yes. You have the male dormitory to yourself.

Really?

I don't have to pay extra for that, right?

No. We might have guests coming later

but no bookings so far.

Are there any good eateries around here?

What do you like?

I like sashimi and meat.

That's a little too vague.

I marked out the good eateries on the map there.

You can check it out.

I see. Thank you.

Take a rest.

It's not because I miss it so much

but it's a gift from Mrs Jeong after all.

I'll make sure this won't happen again, sir.

Thank you.

I get sensitive when I'm writing, you know?

By the way, where is Sung-hye?

She went to pick up the female guests.

Female guests?

Yes.

Where are they...

They're using the woman's dormitory

next to your room.

—How many days? —Three nights.

I'll give them notice to be quiet.

No, you don't have to.

How about him?

Same for him, as well.

Is he alone?

Yes, he's our only guest

in the man's dormitory today.

He won't drink and make noise at night.

Will he?

I've already told him not to.

Guys who would come here alone seems...

a bit strange.

What's this? Man.

Sheesh.

Not the red ones.

Kind of like tuna fish.

How about yellow tail fish?

Here we are.

Oh, it looks better than in the pictures.

Are there many guests here today?

No, since it's not vacation season.

So it's just the two of us?

No. We have a male guest...

One more checked in today. So, two of them.

—Two guys then? —Yes.

Hey. She said two guys.

Let's go.

Please write your name on the food

you put in the common refrigerator.

If you want breakfast

we offer toast and coffee

from 8.00am to 10.00am for $2.

OK. So, are we allowed to cook here?

Yes, you can.

But please keep the kitchen clean.

OK.

Hey, we can eat out. Why should we bother?

It's expensive here.

There are affordable and good eateries around.

I can recommend a few if you like.

Thank you.

Is he the owner?

No, he's a guest.

Sorry, she has poor eyesight.

Man, he's ancient.

I thought he was your father.

If you have no more questions, I'll be off.

—Take care. —Thank you.

What the heck?

It's supposed to be nicer here

according to the blog.

How so?

I saw pictures of hot male surfers

with hot bodies and everything.

You're dreaming too big.

Sheesh.

Hey, isn't that what we dream of

when we travel?

An unexpected romantic encounter...

With that grandpa?

Hey!

Why did you leave the fish in there for so long?

Previously, you left sashimi in the fridge

for over a week too.

This is not the first time.

Anyway, please throw away the things

you're not eating.

The other guests need to use the fridge too.

I'll take note.

But still, why didn't you

at least ask me before throwing it away?

You didn't pick up the phone the whole day.

I have to focus

when I'm working on my book.

Anyway, are they students?

I don't think so.

Office workers?

I don't know.

Why are you asking so many questions

about the female guests?

Well, call it the intellectual curiosity

of a writer.

Please don't make them feel uncomfortable.

What are you going to eat for dinner?

I think your husband went into the fields.

Why do you care what we'll be eating?

Is that also your intellectual curiosity

as a writer?

Come on.

Excuse me. Hi.

Yes. How can I help?

Do you sell yellow tail fish?

Yellow tails?

—No. —It's not in season right now.

—Really? —Yeah.

You eat yellow tails in November.

You should eat them in the winter months.

Don't eat them in summer, they have roundworms.

—Roundworms? —Parasites.

Don't you know the saying?

Even dogs won't eat yellow tails in summer.

No, I don't.

Then what should I eat?

I'll introduce you to a great place.

If you go into that alley

you'll come to an eatery.

They serve the most delicious food.

Only locals know about that place.

Their food is divine, I'm telling you.

It's really good.

Oh, I see.

Thank you.

—You can trust me. It's delicious. —OK.

What's good here?

Everything.

Our spicy fish stew is good.

Braised cutlass fish too.

Can I have braised cutlass fish for one?

Get cutlass fish soup instead, it's for one.

Is it fishy? I've never tried it before.

Not at all!

All right. That one, please.

Aren't you hungry?

I'm hungry.

I did some research.

This place is known for their yellow tails.

Mossolpo yellow tail sashimi.

It gets featured on TV a lot.

Sashimi first thing in the day?

My stomach doesn't feel...

Let's have something hot and soupy.

Then, what about braised cutlass fish?

I read about it in a blog.

—OK. —Let's go!

How much longer?

Keep straight until you hit the crossroads.

Turn left there...

and go straight for five minutes?

You'll see the port

and five minutes from there?

Pretty far.

You should've gotten a driver's licence.

What for? I don't even have a car.

—Then what about you? —Me?

I always have a boyfriend

to drive me around. I don't need one.

But you don't have one now.

—Soon I will! —Really?

I just have a feeling about it.

Jeju is the island of love!

Let's cab back later.

Or the walking will make us hungry again.

We'll see.

It really isn't fishy at all. It's delicious.

I only use cutlass fish

that my husband fished.

I see.

I bet the braised cutlass fish is delicious.

Definitely.

So, would you like more side dishes?

No, no, I'm good. It's good.

Thank you.

Hello.

—Hello. —Hi.

What would you like?

Braised cutlass fish, medium size.

And Jeju rice wine too.

It looks delicious.

What is gaegjuri?

Gaegjuri?

Something like a quail egg maybe?

But this is a seafood place.

Google it and see? It's just a click away.

It's leather fish stew.

Hey...

Do you see the guy behind you?

—You know him? —No.

Then why did you greet him?

Because he greeted me first.

I don't think he's a local.

Is he alone?

Well, let's take a shot first.

Honey.

I bought cutlass fish.

You're here.

The food is good, isn't it?

Yeah...

Are you going to eat here?

No... this is my place.

What took you so long?

You don't fish for cutlass fish?

I only catch yellow tails.

I catch cutlass fish at the fish market.

Honey.

Tomorrow's guests cancelled.

Why?

I don't know.

We've been getting a lot of cancellations.

We won't be getting much business

these few weeks.

—So no more guests for today? —Yeah.

Where are the guests?

Out for dinner?

I think so since there's no one in the rooms.

By the way

don't be so hard on Mr Ko.

He's the only long-term guest we have.

I'm not trying to make his life difficult.

But you know...

What?

Well, you know him.

Jeong-bong, are you there?

Yes, sir. What's wrong?

I wanted to shower but there's no hot water.

But the furnace is on.

—I'll check it right now. —No.

Please finish your meal first.

—I can wait. —Have you eaten?

Well, I ate a light meal.

Do join us then.

May I?

Bring him a bowl of rice, honey.

I'm so sorry about this.

My, the lettuce looks so fresh!

This stir-fried pork looks delicious.

We have marinated crabs too.

Hey, it's so hot.

Must we really go trekking up the mountain?

It's not a mountain, it's the Jeju oreum.

Whether it's a mountain or an oreum

it's tiring all the same.

Do you want to explore the forests instead?

Gotjawal, Bijarim or Saryuni...

they are good places to go.

Yeah?

What's wrong with these names?

Gotjawal? Bijarim? Saryuni?

They sound like haunted houses.

Then where do you want to go?

How much is it, ma'am?

The seaside, of course!

That will be $12, please.

—Here. —Thanks.

Thank you. It was delicious.

Good night.

Oh. He left.

It's not broken.

It was just an excuse to get a free dinner.

Come on, no way.

This isn't the first time.

Oh my goodness! Look at you!

—Use this. —It's so hot.

This summer never ends.

It's still late August.

Why is it so hot this year?

You said the same thing last summer.

Will it be summer for the entire year?

That would be terrible!

I'm only hanging in there

because autumn is coming.

Shall we have a beer?

Wait a minute.

Where is that guy?

He was just in the café.

He must be writing in his room.

Let's go.

Where is he?

Who? The guests?

No. Seung-soo said he'd come by for a drink.

He'll be here when he is.

Namaste!

You're late.

How are you?

Everything good?

Come on, I see you every day.

You never know what might happen.

Where are the guests?

They went out for dinner.

Did you tell them?

Not yet.

They might get the wrong idea and think

we make a commission from this.

No, they won't.

Life is about helping each other out.

People are heartless nowadays.

What should I do?

It'll be fine.

You'll offer the discount to our guests.

—They'll decide for themselves. —Right?

Even so, you shouldn't bring up

the topic of surfing, honey.

Don't be standing beside Seung-soo

when he's touting the guests.

All right, I hear you.

—Let's go to the café. —Sure.

I didn't drink this. Take this.

Thank you so much.

Don't drink too much, OK?

All right, honey.

Sheesh, aren't there any taxis?

Kakao Taxi doesn't service this area.

Really?

We can't go back there on foot.

Should we just call our host?

Of course not.

You're right, I guess.

So, you should be the representative

of the younger locals here.

I'm worried about the old ladies.

They won't like it.

I can handle them, no problem.

How would you do that?

Didn't you hear?

I clean the beaches so often these days.

Of course you would.

It's where you run your business.

That's what I mean.

Hi.

I'm just here to get some water. Thanks.

Have you eaten?

Yes, I had cutlass fish soup

at an eatery near the port.

Only locals know the place.

How did you know about it?

It was recommended by

the yellow tail fish shop owner.

See? Right?

That's team play right there.

Look at their seamless collaboration.

Gee, hello.

—Please have a drink. —Sure.

Here.

I'm Cho Seung-soo. I teach surfing nearby.

—Nice to meet you. —Hello.

—Do you like surfing? —What?

No...

I have to be up early to go to the market.

—Talk to you later. —OK.

We serve breakfast at 8.00am.

—I see. —OK.

OK, Jeong-bong. Good night.

Good night.

Everybody tries surfing

when they come to Jeju.

Right.

—Really? —Of course.

It's like in the Hollywood movies.

Hot girls with bikinis surfing the waves?

It's very good.

It's hard to get around the area without a car.

And the weather is still very hot.

Should I call a taxi for you tomorrow?

We'll try taking the bus first.

Did we drag you out from bed?

It's only 8.00pm.

I heard folks in the countryside

go to bed early.

I came here less than two years ago.

I was born in Seoul

and lived there my whole life.

Really?

So, you were from Seoul!

Then how did you end up here...

—So what do you do, sir? —Pardon?

For a living.

Right. By the way

I think we're around the same age.

You don't have to call me sir.

Sorry, it's a habit from my job.

I always call my clients sir or ma'am.

I see.

I'm a book designer.

A book designer?

So you make book covers?

—That's right. —So you're an artist.

No, I'm not an artist or anything.

All the more you should try surfing.

What does surfing have to do with art?

They are one and the same.

You know what we say

when we see a spectacular wave?

"Wow, that wave is a work of art."

I'm an artist because we ride those waves.

You're also an artist, sir.

We, artists, ride the artistic waves.

Isn't it perfect?

Is it?

Just think. Waves under the blue sky.

And we're standing on them.

I just got the goose bumps.

It's a real work of art.

But I didn't plan on surfing.

I see, but there's nothing to plan for.

I give a 50% discount for the guests here.

Where else can you find a decent

surfing instructor who charges so little?

Nowhere. I'm the only one.

Oh, the female guests are here.

Why is Sung-hye with them?

It's lights out at 10.30pm.

OK.

If you want breakfast

come to the café between 8.00am and 10.00am.

OK.

Man, she is such a nag.

She doesn't look that much older than us.

You said she looked like an old village woman.

I didn't say that.

She seems charismatic.

I bet she was a party animal back in Seoul.

I don't know.

I bet she was.

She's not the type to rot away here.

Oh, I see a dude.

Two of them.

Isn't he...

Isn't he the one at the eatery?

We're staying at the same place.

Hey.

Namaste.

—Welcome, ma'am. —Hi.

Please sit here.

—Hello. —Hello.

—I think I'll go... —Please stay.

—So you're staying here too. —Yes.

We would've joined you if we knew.

Right.

Nice to meet you. I'm a surfing instructor.

Cho Seung-soo.

—I see. —Nice to meet you.

—Please have a drink. —Sure.

—But I have to... —Please.

—Please join us. —OK.

You should have told me.

You had a beer, you couldn't drive.

Young people these days have no manners.

What's wrong with them?

Why don't they drive?

Neither of them have a driver's licence.

They said they are taking the bus tomorrow.

Really? But it's going to be inconvenient.

Why? Are you going to drive them around?

No, we picked them up from the airport.

I think we did our part.

What?

"I heard folks in the countryside"

"go to bed early"?

Honey.

Do I look like an old village woman?

What do you mean?

You're totally a university student.

A young and hot university student.

Please be serious.

—Who told you that? —The female guests.

Those brats.

I'd better say something to them.

Back in the day...

Yoon Sung-hye...

What do you think of the male guest?

What about him?

—He isn't a weirdo or anything, right? —No.

He's just a regular guy.

He must be in the café with Seung-soo now.

Can't you stop him?

I don't feel good about him touting the guests.

It's only for the summer.

No one goes surfing after summer.

Let's just be patient with him.

What are you talking about?

Autumn is the best season for surfing.

Really?

They were travelling in India

and fate brought them together.

And then, they fell in love

and got married.

They opened this guest house "Namaste"

on this island.

Oh, that's really cool.

Just like something out of a movie.

What did they use to do?

I think they were office workers.

Jeong-bong was a banker.

But I'm not sure about Sung-hye.

The husband really isn't the type

that you'd fall in love with at first sight.

—Really? —Yeah.

Oh, you haven't met him?

We've met his wife.

I'm sure she made the first move.

I told you.

She's no ordinary customer.

What does she look like?

Oh, her?

She's like a swan among the ducks here.

Come on, she's not that pretty. Right?

Well, she has a very unique look.

That she does.

What are you guys doing tomorrow?

If you don't have any plans, how about surfing?

I like it.

We have other plans...

Yes, I have to be somewhere tomorrow.

—Right. —Do you have a car?

Yes, I rented one.

Where will you be going tomorrow?

—We don't have a car, you see. —I see.

I can be your driver.

As long as you rent a car.

—Really? —It's all right.

If we're going in the same direction

I can give you a lift.

Thank you.

You don't have to go out of your way for us.

Well, having two passengers in the car

won't cost me more gas anyway.

Let's make our plans together

after breakfast tomorrow.

—Yes, let's! —Yes.

In that case, if we're sharing the ride

we'll pay for our half of the gas.

OK, sure...

Wow. By the way

I think the wind is going to be amazing.

Sir, how about surfing the day after?

OK, I'll think about it.

And you two, as well?

We'll...

think about it.

You will? OK.

Seriously.

Hey, are you done?

What's taking you so long?

I'm almost done.

Yoon Sung-hye.

Na In-goo.

What are you doing here?

Why are you here yourself?

Are you the male guest from yesterday?

Seriously.

So you're alive after all.

Who told you I died?

How could you disappear without a word?

That's...

Honey! Should I clean up over here too?

Let's talk later.

—Hey. —I said, let's talk later.

Get in there. Hurry!

Get in there!

It's just morning and it's already so hot.

Oh, no.

—Are you done? —I might die if I tried.

—Are you done with the laundry? —Yeah.

Aren't they going to have breakfast?

I'm not sure.

The male guest is over there.

What about the female guests?

Oh. They're in the shower room.

Is the furnace working OK?

Of course, or we'd have heard from Mr Ko.

—Hi. —Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

Mr Oh?

Chae-yoon.

Oh, erm...

she's my former colleague

from the same bank.

Right, she's my wife.

Yeah, I know.

What... what a small world.

Breakfast. You should eat.

Yes.

I'll prepare the breakfast for the guests.

Namaste.

What?

I feel like I should say hi this way.

—Would you like breakfast? —Yes, of course.

So you were hiding here.

Thank you for remembering your colleague

and coming all the way here.

I appreciate it.

No, my friend booked this place.

Right.

This is the first time we're playing host

to his former colleagues.

Really?

Please come and eat after you dry your hair.

OK.

Bloody hell, I need a cigarette.

So, where are we going today?

Where?

Where are we going?

Pardon?

You said we should plan in the morning.

Right, yes. We should.

What's wrong with you guys?

Did something happen?

No.

Neither of you have said a thing so far.

Excuse me.

You should tell us your plans

so we know whether to tag along or not.

Where would you like to go?

Mr Oh, what's a good place to go?

What?

Do you have any recommendations?

What's a good place here?

—Everything's good here. —Everything is...

If you want to go to an oreum or a forest...

No, it's too hot there.

—Or to the sea... —Don't mention surfing.

Then, how about

going to Bangju Church that's nearby?

Or Bonte Museum? Or Glass House?

Or how about Doomoak?

Doomoak? Yeah...

It's not even Sunday today.

Why go to a church?

Why come all the way here to go to a museum?

This is not a school trip.

What are the Glass House and Doomoak?

Right.

They are the famous buildings we have in Jeju.

With interesting architecture.

—Architecture? —Yes.

Yes, I'd like to go.

Hey, Lee Chae-yoon.

We can't go anywhere without a car anyway.

That's true, but...

Then, we'll see you out front in 10 minutes.

OK.

Oh, cool.

How did you know about these?

Do you work in architecture or something?

Oh no, it's nothing like that.

Isn't it amazing?

Yeah.

So what do you do?

Me? I'm a book designer.

—You make book covers? —Right, yes.

I knew it. You have the vibe of an artist.

Oh, you flatter me.

We're just office workers.

She works for a bank.

And I'm with a clothing company.

Right, I see.

We're here together

because we haven't had a vacation yet.

Right, I see.

If it's more convenient for you

you can talk to me casually.

Is your stomach hurting again?

No, it's not that.

It's so good to have a car.

Were you two close?

Who?

Oh, her?

Not really.

Still, it must be good to see her again.

Does it look that way?

I'm just really surprised.

I'm happy but this is really unexpected.

Let's go inside.

—Is that OK? —Sure.

I think most women

dream of a romantic wedding.

Of course, because it's once in a lifetime.

It must be dreamy to get married here.

So, with whom?

My future husband.

My girlfriend also said

she wanted to get married here.

You have a girlfriend?

I used to, but not anymore.

I'm not seeing anyone either.

You were until one week ago.

Hey!

Those were good times...

You like omeki rice cake, right?

Should we get some?

I do? But I'm allergic to beans.

Right. I forgot.

I can't even eat patbingsu in the summer.

Buy some if you want.

No, it's OK.

I have to go buy something.

Let's split up and shop for what we need.

We'll meet up later.

—Yeah, sure. —Call me, OK?

Please try this.

Oh, thank you very much.

Thank you.

—Wow. —What's this?

Omeki rice cake.

A specialty in Jeju.

It's really good.

So, where would you like to go next?

Let's go to Glass House and the Doomoak

as you mentioned.

We can go somewhere else if you want.

Yongmuni oreum and Gotjawal are close by.

It's OK. I've been there before.

Hey. But you said you wanted to go there.

Did I?

And you said you've never been here before.

Did I say that?

I guess I got confused

because it's been so long.

Ma'am, some water, please.

Where did he go?

I guess he went surfing.

It looks exactly like the last one.

They might appear similar

but look closer, and you'll see the differences.

I think you'd feel soothed and healed

being in a building like that.

It used to be called "Genius Loci".

It's where you go to heal and meditate.

It may look cold and stony from the outside

but it's warm inside.

What's "Genius Loci"?

It means "God of Protection".

It sounds like a room escape game.

It's also a place where you can escape

from a busy mind.

That's where they filmed the drama, All In.

Let's go there.

You go ahead. I'm going over there.

I'm also going this way...

Oh...

You know what?

I'm not doing this just to make money.

This is the real taste of Jeju.

I'm promoting surfing out of a sense of duty.

I'm not in this for the money.

Just one thing.

I really don't get it.

Is surfing really that fun?

You try so hard to paddle out.

Half the time, you're falling off the board.

And then you get tired

and end up gulping sea water.

That's why we surf, all right?

It's like fishing. It's the art of waiting.

It's about waiting for the waves

more than riding them.

That's what surfing is.

You aren't usually this philosophical.

Come on, you even went to India.

Namaste.

So, are the guests going to surf?

They are leaving in two days.

I'll try and talk to them tonight.

If they say no, it's no biggie.

Why don't you talk to your colleague about it?

But you told me not to bring up surfing.

Well, it's not like you guys are strangers.

Having heard what Seung-soo said

surfing might not be a bad idea.

Why don't you guys give surfing a try too?

You guys are residents of Jeju now.

How could you not have tried it?

I used to surf.

Really?

I even surfed in Hawaii.

And Bali too.

Wow, Sung-hye really is something else.

Jeong-bong, we have a true surfer among us.

I'm not that hardcore.

So here you are.

Chae-yoon.

Chae-yoon.

Did you find everything? I'm almost done.

Where's Ha-seo? I just saw her around.

There you are.

—Did you find everything? —Yes.

Are you going to finish all that?

Yeah, I need something to chew on.

But we just ate. Aren't you full?

I'm kind of hungry.

That's quite a bit of liquor.

I thought I should drink Hallasan

since I'm in Jeju.

You don't drink?

No, I do. Pretty often, in fact.

Then I should drink lots and let loose.

What are you talking about?

She's out of control when she's drunk.

Really?

I'm a crazy drunk too.

No, just kidding.

I don't understand people who drink

until they are hammered.

You need to do that sometimes to release

all the pent-up anger and stuff.

Right? She's too strait-laced.

She can never speak her true feelings.

So uptight.

Let's go if you have everything.

OK.

Lots of mosquitoes.

Let me get it.

Are they playing badminton?

They're zapping mosquitoes.

We're back.

—We're back. —Hi.

Oh my.

—Are you going to drink all that? —Yes.

Please have a drink with us.

But I...

Why? You don't drink?

Yes, I do.

—I'll take you up on the offer. —OK.

Would you like to join us too?

I'm not feeling well.

Can we drink in there?

Let's drink out here.

What if our neighbours complain?

It's OK. You can't be quiet all the time.

—Seung-soo. —Yes.

—Go buy charcoal and gas. —Now?

Are you going to wait until we're all out?

Fine. Would you like to come with me?

—Sure. —OK.

Show me your paddling.

Very good!

What kind of a person was my husband?

What?

He never talks about those days.

I see.

He was competent...

and very responsible.

He was someone who commanded respect.

If that's the case, why would he quit

and go to India?

Because he was heartsick, I think.

Over what?

Did the older gentleman go somewhere?

Yes.

Sorry, what?

Oh, right.

—You mean, Mr Ko? —Yes.

He isn't back yet.

What does he do for a living?

He writes novels.

He has been here for two months

—Working on his book. —What's his name?

Ko Ho-eun.

Ko Ho-eun...

I've never heard of his name.

I don't think he's famous.

I searched his name on the Internet

but didn't find much.

I work for a publishing company.

So I know most of the professional writers.

Is what he does for a living that important?

You met your wife while travelling, right?

Who told you that?

The surfing instructor.

It sounded like something out of the movies.

I guess fate is a real thing.

Yeah.

She's too good for me.

I heard that you were from Seoul.

What did you use to do?

I used to work in a bank.

My wife probably worked for a company.

She worked for a company?

What kind of a company?

Actually, I'm not sure.

I'm sure it was some company.

You didn't ask her about it

before you married her?

Why would I?

Because you'd want to know?

Not really, I didn't.

My wife doesn't ask about my past either.

Right...

From what I could tell

the woman just walked off.

The man was so taken aback

he stood there and watched her go.

And then he came to his senses.

He had to go after her.

But that meant he needed to

get out of his wetsuit first.

He was doing this to take it off.

—But it wouldn't come off! —Are you serious?

It just wouldn't come off.

I've told him time and again to apply

lubricant before putting the wetsuit on

or it's going to be hairy.

I've told him so many times.

The thing is the woman

must have been really angry to do that.

That's why men don't deserve mercy.

We've seen so many couples

come here for a romantic getaway

only to break up.

They get mad over the tiniest things.

They'd get drunk and fight.

I think it takes time to understand

what you couldn't understand before.

They don't understand. They just get over it.

What can I say?

It's the people who keep you hanging that...

Man, seriously.

I'm sure they have their reasons.

But how do you date someone

who demands so much understanding?

Dating is so hard.

But you two made it work.

How do you know for sure?

Do you get a sign that says

"I have to marry this person"?

All men are the same.

When you realise that

you'll stop dating and settle for one.

There's no reason to keep looking around.

"All men are the same"? Sheesh.

I'll go check if we have snacks.

OK...

so we're going surfing tomorrow, yeah?

I need to use the toilet.

Certainly.

"All men are the same"?

—We need to talk. —About what?

Why? Why did you disappear on me?

You want me to apologise?

What do you want?

You think it's no big deal?

That's because you weren't the one

getting dumped!

Did I commit a mortal sin now?

What? OK, fine.

Let's say you had your reasons.

Please tell me what your reason was!

It's all in the past.

—Why are you... —You...

I wasn't the only man you were seeing, was I?

I've heard of horror stories like that.

—To think I was one... —Hey.

It wasn't like that.

Then, tell me why, OK?

What is the great Yoon Sung-hye doing here?

It's hilarious, you acting like a dutiful wife.

I couldn't believe it at first.

I thought you were someone else.

Everyone has their own path.

You don't have to understand why.

You'll just drive yourself nuts

demanding an answer.

Are you implying I'm some crazy

obsessive stalker?

Just tell yourself you dated a crazy woman!

You don't have to show up here and do this.

So... are you happy here?

Marrying him just because

"all men are the same"?

Hey!

Hell.

Why the heck did he follow me here?

So...

I did it in the hopes of winning your heart.

But I felt that's not what love is.

Back then

I wasn't sure about my feelings yet.

After I got fired, I weighed my options.

I went to India to clear my head.

I should have contacted you sooner, Mr Oh.

It's really good to see you.

I haven't seen you in so long.

It brought back memories.

That's Mount Sangbang.

Mount Songhak, Gapado...

and we even can see Marado.

Here, you're sweating.

I think it would be great to get married

and settle down here.

Whoever your future husband may be...

he's a lucky man.

Mr Oh! Chae-yoon!

Please come down.

We're going to go for lunch.

So...

Let's get going.

Hurry, please!

OK, we're coming!

I guess we're just not meant to be.

I met my wife in India.

We're happy.

You two look good together.

Ancient Hawaiian natives

didn't think of surfing

as sports or entertainment.

They considered it a religious ritual.

An art.

They prayed for protection from the waves.

And if the sea was too peaceful

they would have rituals to beckon the waves.

People who can't swim can surf too?

Of course

as long as you follow my instructions.

So you're doing it?

—Don't you change your mind on me. —OK.

I think you should try it too, sir.

Right, sure. Since everyone is.

OK, I'll come pick you up at 9.00am.

Would you guys want to surf too?

If Mr Oh does it, I will too.

I don't like water.

OK, try the omeki rice cakes.

Looks delicious.

Thanks.

I'll pass.

Isn't this your favourite?

Yeah.

There was an open market today

so we bought some.

You don't want any?

I'm allergic to sweet beans.

So god darn picky.

Sung-hye!

Sung-hye!

Hey!

Sung-hye.

Sung-hye! Hey!

Honey.

Honey!

Yoon Sung-hye!

You're up.

Where are they?

They went surfing.

You cleaned up all by yourself?

It's no problem.

Would you like some coffee?

Sure.

OK, when you see a wave

the person who calls it gets to go on it.

By the way

how do you know who spots it first?

You'll know it

when you're waiting for the waves.

But you don't get good waves so often.

So there are people who cut in.

Anyway, please remember one person per wave.

—Are we going in now? —Not yet.

I'll teach you how to stand up on your board.

OK, take your position...

at the centre of your board.

You lie down like this.

You look in front of you and paddle.

Pull your arms towards yourself.

And take off. This is the standing position.

Stand up and balance, that's all.

Simple, right?

All right, we'll start off with paddling.

OK, lie down at the centre of the board.

Let's take the paddling position.

OK, lift your chest and paddle.

That's it.

Do you remember

when we first met in India?

At Calangute beach?

You were like a beggar. Really.

And what about you?

What would have happened to you

if you hadn't met me there?

Well, another guy would have saved me.

Anyway, why are you bringing this up?

Well...

I remember the words you told me

as you were looking at the sea.

"You'll run into the person"

"you're destined to meet again."

When I asked for your number

you said we would meet again in Korea

if we were meant to be.

And we did meet again here in Jeju.

Yeah.

So, I guess there's really such a thing as fate.

To be honest, I'm not sure

if it's fate that brought us together

or we got together and just called it fate.

That doesn't matter.

Are you going to the seaside later?

Why?

I don't mind watching them surf.

Are you sure

it's not something else you want to see?

You haven't seen her in a long time.

I understand.

It must feel good to see her again.

And I bet it brought back memories.

What?

I understand how you're feeling.

Everyone has a past.

It wasn't like that between us.

Between "us"?

I didn't say anything.

You guys can do it!

Don't be afraid!

Start paddling!

Take off!

Take standing position!

Another one's coming!

Take off! Take standing position!

It's so salty!

I admit, we had feelings for each other, but...

I thought so.

A woman's sixth sense is always right.

To be honest, it was just

an unrequited love on my part.

That's why I took the fall for her mistake.

What mistake?

A mistake related to the loans.

That's why you were fired?

I didn't know it would be so serious.

She looks so meek.

I guess still waters run deep.

It didn't work out after what you did for her?

Well, you can't force these things.

Take off! Take standing position!

Again.

Man, it's so hard!

After we parted ways in India

I thought I'd never see you again.

I remembered you talked about Jeju

while we were travelling

so I came here, but...

I never imagined we would meet here.

I came here

because I felt like I'd meet you here.

Really?

I don't know if it was naïvety or stupidity...

I thought you'd come

if I waited for you.

I can't believe what you just said.

I think that's how life is.

Even if you get broken by the waves

life goes on and on...

That's what Seung-soo always say

when he drinks.

Well, he heard it from me.

I have the rights to it. Sheesh.

I said it first!

Gee.

See? I told you, you'd look good in this.

But I've never worn white.

Leave it like this.

Where is Mr Ko?

Forget about him.

He wouldn't surf with us anyway.

I think we'd better ask him along

so he can have lunch with us.

He can manage by himself.

Don't worry. Let's go.

—This is nice. —Yes.

Surfing here would be fun.

I'm tired.

I'm done.

Sure, go and rest.

What about you guys?

—I'll try a bit more. —Me too!

All right, let's get back on the beach.

I'll keep an eye on you guys.

—OK. —OK.

I'll come right away if you need help.

—OK! —Go for it!

You can do it!

—You're here. —Hi.

They look tired.

—Hi. —Hi.

Hey. Was it fun?

It's so tiring.

She looks exhausted.

This is more difficult than I thought.

I thought I could do it this time.

—I got the feel for it. —Really?

I'll try one more time.

If I still can't do it...

I'm giving up.

Why do you give up so easily?

I think I've tried my best.

I'm going to keep trying until I succeed.

You're pretty stubborn.

I'm persistent, not stubborn.

He was doing well a little while ago.

Surfing won't be fun if it's so easy.

Mr Oh, what's this?

We brought sandwiches for you guys.

Really? Thank you!

We have beer too.

Sung-hye is the best!

Nothing works better than beer

to get the taste of sea water out.

—Yeah, gulp this down! —Thanks.

Hey, Chae-yoon!

What are they doing?

Is someone hurt?

Are you OK?

This is all my fault...

No, it's nothing.

Wow, In-goo, you're so cool.

He shielded her from the surfboard.

His board almost hit her.

He had to shield her

or she'd have been badly hurt.

But still, thanks to him, it didn't...

That's not how it works.

Right, Seung-soo?

Each surfer should be responsible

for his own board.

He should have been more careful.

Come on...

I didn't mean to lose my board.

Anyway, you did well by going into the water.

Are you guys hungry?

Let's eat.

Yeah. Thank you.

Aren't you eating?

I had some while I made these sandwiches.

It's delicious, Sung-hye.

—Yes. —Have more.

Shall I get some iced coffee?

—Good idea. —Yes, please.

I'll go with you.

You made us delicious sandwiches.

I'll buy everyone coffee.

—Really? —Yeah.

Jeong-bong.

Is she this hard on all the male guests?

No, she isn't.

They're like kindergarten kids fighting.

Did you have to be so harsh

to an injured man?

I was just stating the facts.

I'm sure you learnt the etiquette...

I nearly drowned.

I had no time to think.

Why are you so heartless?

But you said that's what's charming about me.

Yeah. Sure.

Do you do this to your husband too?

Argue about etiquette?

It depends.

OK, fine.

It's my fault that you disappeared

and I almost hit her with my board. Happy?

Did I say it's your fault that I disappeared?

I had my issues. Don't make assumptions!

OK, please stop it!

I'm sick and tired of fighting with you!

Marriage sure hasn't changed you.

—What did you say? —What?

Forget it.

What's that guy doing?

What's that? I think he's taking pictures.

—Scumbag! —Hey!

Mister!

—Mr Ko! —Hey...

What are you doing, Mr Ko?

Are you taking photos?

What were you doing?

—What's this? —My goodness!

I knew you're a pervert.

Shouldn't we take this to the police station?

What's this? Isn't this you?

—Hey... —What are you?

Are you some sort of a freak?

No, it's just...

You're old enough to know better.

I'm not a writer.

My goodness!

I knew it!

Why did you come to my guest house?

Well, to be honest, you know...

This is killing me.

Spit it out! You know I have no patience.

You're the same as ever.

Shut up. This is not the time.

To be honest, I take nude photos of models.

What?

I'm putting on an exhibition soon.

I've been here in Jeju for months

to find ordinary folks to be my model.

That's why I'm staying here.

To integrate with the local community.

Do you think I'd believe that nonsense?

Exactly. Let's call the police.

If I ask complete strangers to be my models

—They won't understand. —Of course!

They will think I'm a freak.

This is art.

Are you saying anyone can be a nude model?

Stop that nonsense and come with us.

That's the point!

You know what you'll get

with professional models.

The theme of my upcoming exhibition

is nudity in everyday life.

—Enough. —Stop making excuses.

Let's go to the police station.

Yeah, you can explain yourself there.

I know my job is easily misunderstood...

but I'm being completely honest.

I'm a published professional photographer.

—This is ridiculous. —Look.

If you don't believe me, you can look it up.

How do we look it up?

My name is not Ko Ho-eun.

—It's Kim Tae-yoon. —I'm sure.

You can find my information online.

Let's do that at the police station.

—Let's just go. —Google his name.

Sheesh.

Just give it a try.

—Do it. —Don't you get cute with me.

You're in trouble if you're lying.

See? There are no photos of you.

I told you he's lying. Come with us to the...

Hey, wait...

What is this?

My company released The Light of Eroticism.

—You work there? —Yes.

Then give Mr Kim a call.

That'll do it.

You know my boss?

He's a big fan of my work.

Just... stand still.

—What? —I said, stand still!

One, two, three.

You'd better not be lying, Mr Ko.

—Did you check? —I just texted him.

—Hurry! —I said, I just texted him!

—OK. —He's going to reply soon.

I'm not some pervert.

I took the photos as a part of my project.

You should have asked for their permission.

That won't work.

Everyone will just say no anyway.

Are you taking his side now? What's this?

Hey, I got a reply.

What? He said that's him.

We are going to publish his photos?

What?

This freak is publishing a book...

Don't call me that.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you.

What's taking them so long?

The café is nearby.

I think that's them over there.

Oh. The older dude is with them.

Is he here to join us for surfing?

Hi...

We met him on the way there.

Mr Ko, where have you been?

We've been looking for you.

Well, I was taking a walk by the shore.

I thought everyone might be here.

I ran into them.

Wow, check out that camera!

Looks expensive, like something

a professional would own.

Is it yours?

He lugged that camera here to take photos

of us surfing together.

—Here's your coffee. —Thank you.

So shall we give surfing a second try

after this coffee?

—Are you guys ready? —Yes.

Sung-hye, will you join us?

Oh, count me out.

Give it a try.

—I'm curious what you can do. —But still...

Then, you do it with me, honey.

OK.

I'll take photos of you guys.

All right.

Are you OK?

Mr Ko is buying because

he wanted to thank us before leaving.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Wow, this looks delicious.

Is there something you want to say?

Come on.

Well...

Oh, this is pretty cool.

This is really good.

The human body

is the most beautiful thing in the world.

I would do photos like this

if I had such a good body.

Do you do male models?

If you guys are interested

would you like to work with me?

—I'd like to. —I'll do it too.

That's great!

It's really beautiful. Look at those lines.

You did a fantastic job.

The photos are amazing.

Looks like things are going well.

I guess.

He should've been honest with us.

You're one to talk.

Why weren't you honest with me?

Because I was a bit of a mess.

Man, seriously.

Even now I have no idea who you are.

When did you learn to surf?

I think you have a talent for it.

You should pursue it.

Really? After you hectored me

about not following the basic etiquette?

That reminds me.

You don't follow the etiquette yourself.

—What? —I mean...

"One person per wave".

Dating should be like surfing too.

One man per woman.

You're talking nonsense.

Aren't you going to tell him about me?

I will.

Don't.

Why open that can of worms?

I'm going to be leaving soon anyway.

But still, it doesn't feel right.

At first, I was going to tell him everything

to sabotage your relationship.

So? Why didn't you?

I saw you and lost the courage to do it.

And also, doing that won't change anything.

Although it would certainly

make me feel a heck lot better.

My, my. Thank you so much.

To be honest, thanks to you

I made money on my investments.

I told you I'm always right.

Not a humble bone in you.

I mean, you deserve to be happy.

I appreciate it, but...

I do feel kind of bad.

You should definitely feel bad.

You're not seeing anyone?

No.

I got badly burnt by a woman, you see.

So just looking at women makes me...

Oh, you're never going to let that go.

Do you know what surfing is really about?

What?

Not regretting the waves that passed you by.

Wait, and a good wave will come your way.

You'll meet a good woman and get married.

No.

I don't think I'll be that lucky.

That's because you're prejudiced against women.

There are a lot of great women like me.

Come on.

Go after her.

By the way, are they old acquaintances?

They were colleagues.

My husband used to really look out for her.

Really?

Is that all?

I don't know.

I'm sure they've their past like we do.

Do you have to know about it?

The night sky in Jeju

is so beautiful.

Oh, it's so pretty!

But...

isn't this a little too long for me?

You know...

autumn is coming soon.

Autumn is your favourite season!

Sheesh, you forgot my favourite food

but you remembered that.

Of course.

—Oh, my goodness. —Do you like it?

Doesn't it look nice?

I'm going to wear this tomorrow.

You want to stay a few more days?

Yeah. I want to learn to surf.

I need to discuss the modelling gig with Mr Ko.

I have a few more days of vacation left.

Why go back to Seoul so early?

Is that really why you're staying?

What do you think of Seung-soo?

Isn't he nice? Aren't we a good match?

You are.

I thought you had your sights set on In-goo.

I did.

But I like athletic men

more than I do the artistic type.

The artistic type is more for you.

In-goo suits you more than he suits me.

He said he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Even if I would like to go out with him

these things have to be mutual.

Oh, you used to hate it

whenever I talk about men.

I guess you aren't totally uninterested.

That's not it.

Seeing Mr Oh happily married

makes me a little envious.

He's the guy you carried a torch for, isn't he?

How did you know?

Hey. My brains may not be made for studying

but I'm genius when it comes to relationships.

I know exactly what's going on.

I don't think he's the right one for you.

He looks like a football.

If you marry someone as nice as you are

you're going to get cheated all the time.

I think he has found his perfect match.

She has him so well-trained.

And now, he's a well-adjusted man.

Do they look like such a good match?

Yeah.

So, turn your attention away from them

and focus on yourself, dummy.

I'm really sorry. Starting today,

a film crew has booked this guest house

for two weeks.

Really? What should I do then?

Shall I check if the other guest houses

have rooms available?

Yes, please.

In-goo, are you leaving today too?

Yes, I am.

—When is your flight? —It's 1.00pm.

How about you?

I'm travelling by ship, not by plane.

What? What are you talking about?

—You're travelling by ship? —Yes.

I'm staying in Wando for a day

and then leaving for Seoul.

What's there in Wando?

Nothing much.

But I've never travelled by ship before

so I wanted to give it a try.

It takes no time at all if you fly back.

Why take the long way around?

I realised this when I was surfing.

I want my life to be like surfing.

Waiting patiently instead of rushing about.

I really don't get you.

How are you getting to the port?

I'm taking a bus.

Do you want to leave with me?

What time is your ship?

It's 4.00pm.

The timing's too far apart.

I can manage by myself.

So please don't worry.

We'll take you to the port.

We'll give you a ride.

Thank you.

—Do come again. —Bye.

Bye.

When you come again, let's surf.

Autumn waves are the best!

I see.

See you in Seoul.

Yes, sir. Good luck on your exhibition.

Let's attend the exhibition altogether.

Great idea! I'll invite all of you guys.

Jeong-bong and Sung-hye too.

What about me?

Of course, you too.

So where is Chae-yoon?

She's in the bathroom.

Don't wait. She usually takes a long time.

I see.

OK, I'll get going.

—Take care. —OK.

Bye.

Welcome!

The wind is so refreshing.

I never knew there's such an amazing place.

I found this place on my way to the airport.

I've wanted to come here with you

but we've been so busy lately.

My honey is more romantic than I thought.

Do you miss her?

No. Not at all.

I...

feel kind of bittersweet.

What about?

Something.

May I ask you a question?

About what?

What company did you work for in the past?

You told me you worked for a company

but you never told me which company.

—You wish to know? —Yeah.

I really do.

I was in the same business as you.

I worked in the financial industry.

Really? You worked for a bank?

An insurance company, not a bank.

I was the queen of insurance planners.

Why did you quit?

It must have been good money.

I had to meet a lot of people for work.

The men were particularly aggressive.

They would buy a policy and ask me on a date.

I agreed for their investment returns

and their retirement funds.

Out of concern for them, really.

They came at me saying things like

I was toying with their feelings.

It must've been really tough on you.

Well, not everyone was like that.

Anyway, I wanted a new start

so I went to India...

You know the rest of the story.

I knew my wife was someone special.

Oh, right!

One moment, please.

Hello?

Yes, we are.

You want to make a reservation?

For three days starting today?

One moment, please.

For how many?

Yes, we can take seven people.

OK, then. Please call when you arrive.

Thanks.

Honey, let's hurry home.

We have new guests!

OK.

Oh, it's so windy.

Oh.

I...

I went for meat noodles.

And I ended up missing my flight.

I see.

The meat noodles are really good.

Have you tried it?

I ate them on the first day.

I see.

I wonder if the weather is better in Seoul.

It's really hot here.

I hope autumn will be here soon.

This summer has been awfully hot.

Will you come back in the autumn to surf?

Yeah, I'm thinking about it.

How about you?

I'm thinking about it too.

Where are you staying in Wando?

A guest house.

They have a guest house there?

Just the one.

It's called Wandonesia.

Wandonesia?

That's a unique name.

Where will you be staying?

Or are you going right back to Seoul?

No... I...

Since I'm going to Wando

I'm thinking of pigging out on abalones

and going back tomorrow.

I love abalones.

So...

I wonder if Wandonesia has a room available.

You want to call them?

Yes.

—I've sent you their number. —OK.

Yes, hello?

Is this Wandonesia?

Yes, I'd like a room for one.

Do you have a room?

OK. No, it's no problem.

Thank you.

I got a room.
