REFLECTION OF YOU

I think about hell.

Though alive,
I think of the world as hell.

To me, hell is…

watching my loved one die for me.

So I'm not in hell yet.

What I need now is faith.

Believing a lie

that it's not the absolute worst yet
and that I'll be okay.

MONTHLY FINE ARTS

THE STORY OF THE ISLAND AND THE LAKE
BY JEONG HUI-JU

Hey, Li-sa. Shouldn't you be in class…

Li-sa.

Li-sa. What happened?

Li-sa. Let me look at you.

What happened here?

Li-sa. Let me see your face.

I need to take the patient for a CT scan.

What?

Li-sa.

Li-sa.

What…

-What just happened?
-Oh, no. Has she gone mad?

-What's going on?
-She can't do that.

-What the heck is this?
-Are they fighting?

-What?
-What's going on?

-Hey!
-Oh, no!

-Hey, this is bad.
-Shouldn't we stop them?

-Is she crazy?
-What's wrong with her?

-How can a teacher push a student?
-What's going on?

-What should we do?
-Hey.

-Did she go nuts?
-Why did she slap her?

-What's wrong with her?
-Shouldn't we report this?

-This is messed up.
-How can she do this?

-Is she mad?
-She's nuts.

What is this?

I'm sorry, ma'am. This is my fault.

I didn't know she took the video.

How did she have a phone during class?

We always take
their cell phones right before class.

But this student, Ju-yeong,
had another cell phone.

-Not that.
-Sorry?

Who the hell is this woman?

Our art teacher is on maternity leave.
So she's a substitute.

I don't care
if she's a full-time teacher or a sub.

How could a teacher hit Li-sa, a student?

Li-sa was studying
another subject during her class.

That's what I heard.

And we don't think Li-sa deserves
to be slapped like this for what she did.

Are you saying it's okay to beat students
like this if they deserve it?

Goodness.

What's the point of discussing that here?
It already happened.

Mother.

Why did it happen
when Li-sa's father is away?

When does his seminar end?

His schedule says
he'll come back to Korea in three days.

Yes.

This probably happened
because she didn't know who Li-sa was.

Look.

It would've been a problem
if she did this to another student here.

They're done running tests on Li-sa.
You should go.

You stay.

You're not going?

Are you going to leave her alone?

-What are you doing?
-I'm leaving.

Your doctor wants
to keep you here for one more day.

What happened?

What do you mean?

If you don't tell me what happened,
I'll think of the worst.

Where's the car?

I'm sure there was a reason.

I'm not trying to blame you.
I'm sure she--

That bitch.

She's a bitch.

A bitch. Total freak. That's why.

Take down the video
since it shows our students' faces.

Li-sa's dad… As soon as Mr. An comes back,

-I want to have a disciplinary meeting.
-Yes, ma'am.

Report it to the Office of Education
first. We should handle it by the book.

The whole school… No.

Message everyone including
the parents that this won't happen again.

You've got to do it properly
when you apologize.

How dare she hit a student

in this day and age?
That stupid, lowlife wench.

SLIGO, IRELAND

How's Li-sa?

She was drowsy from the meds
and went straight to bed.

-What about you?
-She won't tell me anything.

Not even a peep
when it'll take three weeks to recover.

Even her eardrums ruptured from getting
slapped, but all she does is sleep.

I mean, are you okay?

I mean, how could she…
No matter what she did wrong,

-how could a teacher hit--
-Honey.

Hui-ju, I'll fly out tomorrow.

Are you there?

It's because you haven't seen the video.

She looked clueless when she was slapped.
She didn't even try to protect herself.

Our Li-sa didn't even budge.

Focus on her treatment.

Wounds will heal. But what about
that humiliation? How will we fix that?

She must have been so shocked.

She didn't even cry.
She's just sleeping it off.

It scares me
she acts like nothing happened.

I don't know how
I'm going to face that teacher tomorrow.

She said she'd apologize. If she does,

do we have to accept it?
But I don't want to!

Don't if you don't want to.

You don't have to do it alone.
I'll handle it when I go back.

What about your work?
The rest of your schedule?

It'll be fine.

I took care of all the important matters.

Okay. Get some sleep.

We terminated
Ms. Gu's contract right away.

The Office of Education
can suspend her on their own.

But as she's a substitute teacher,
all we can do is terminate…

Anyway, Ms. Gu wants
to apologize in person. So could you…

Ma'am?

What's her name?

It's Gu Hae-won.

Gu Hae-won?

Let's go in.

Ms. Gu.

Ms. Gu. You should apologize.

Right.

I'm sorry.

-Shouldn't we stop them?
-What should we do?

-Oh, no.
-Shouldn't we film this?

-She's a total psychopath.
-Hey, she can't do that.

-What's she doing?
-Why is she slapping her?

-Did she go nuts?
-Why did she slap her?

-How could a teacher do that?
-What should we do?

You can't watch it
till the end either, can you?

It's not that.

I did it, so I don't need to watch it.

Then you must be well aware

of how your violence
must've scarred Li-sa as well.

Punishment.

It wasn't violence.

It was punishment.

Ms. Gu!

Punishment?

Li-sa brought it upon herself.

But if my punishment was too extreme,
I'll face the penalty for it.

This so-called punishment

looks like a one-sided assault.

What did Li-sa do to deserve it?

You should ask Li-sa, not me.

When kids misbehave,
you should talk to them.

Li-sa is under strain,
preparing to enter high school.

That doesn't mean I should gloss over it.

She did something wrong,
so she should've apologized first.

I could not condone her attitude

of giving me excuses
without admitting what she did was wrong.

Teaching her
that kind of behavior was wrong--

Like this?

Ma'am.

Is this how you teach your students
when they make mistakes?

Ma'am, you can't do this here.

I know that
violence has no place in schools.

And so should she.

And I also know that's not the attitude
of someone who wants to apologize.

Ma'am.

Give me everything in her file.

Her application, résumé,
performance review, all of it.

Ma'am. We are obligated by law
to record every interaction that goes on

in the counseling room.

And what you did earlier was…

Give me her file.

JEONG HUI-JU'S SOLO INVITATIONAL EXHIBIT

TEMPORARY TEACHER RECOMMENDATION
NAME: GU HAE-WON

Hannah?

NAME: GU HAE-WON

GYEONGMYEONG UNIVERSITY, WESTERN ART

Let's go karaoke.

-How about coin karaoke? Your treat.
-I'm in.

You said you would get me next time.

They just took my phone from me.

I'm sorry about that.

Well, it's not your fault.

Your nails are beautiful.
Did you do them yourself?

Yes. I change the colors every day.

What? You deleted the video?

I didn't delete anything else.
I didn't snoop either.

-That's fine then.
-Wait.

Can you tell me why the teacher hit Li-sa

that day?

Mimi has always been crazy.

"Mimi"?

We called her Mimi.
It's short for crazy art teacher.

But after the incident, we call her Mitto.

It's short for crazy psycho.

Why do you call her that?

Because she's done
something like this before?

No, Li-sa's the first to be hit.

But remember when there was
a huge scandal in schools?

The school told her not to make us draw

or study anything nude
because it might become a problem.

Mimi went berserk then.

Ms. Gu. What's wrong with you?

I said no to this. Come on.

Remember, everyone.

-We cannot blame
-Gosh.

-this beautiful artwork
-What is this?

or the artist who put
their heart and soul into it.

We must be suspicious and wary of people
like him who see art with a dirty mind.

-What?
-Your critical thinking shows…

I guess you take a lot of these videos.

I'm just recording my day.
Like a documentary.

In other words,
I film anything that seems worthwhile.

Then why was this teacher,
Mimi, so angry with Li-sa?

I have no idea. Li-sa didn't tell you?

Mimi whispered something
in Li-sa's ear at the end.

She whispered something?

So only she could hear it?

Yes.

I really have to go now.

EMERGENCY ROOM

Let me take a look.

Keep going.
That was great.

You've gotten much stronger now.

Now, the other way around.
Imagine you're kicking a ball. Go ahead.

Excellent.

The other way around now.

You hit her?

You hit the teacher,
and it was caught on camera?

Hitting the teacher was wrong.

I know.

But don't beat yourself up too much.

"He shouldn't be a teacher.
The school failed to manage him."

You don't have to be the one
finding faults in this incident.

What does it matter
when it's about your kid?

"If you lay a finger on my kid,
you're done for."

"Mommy is here for you.
I'll do anything for you."

That's what Li-sa needs.

Why don't you date anyone?

What? That's so random.

You can make some girl very happy.
Why are you leading such a lonely life?

I've been on plenty of dates.
Don't worry about my love life.

So how is Li-sa?

They're checking the infection
after the eardrum repair.

Gosh. It'll take a month to recover.

Who the heck is this jerk…

How could he slap her to the point
that her eardrum ruptured?

-It was a she.
-What?

What? Why did she do it?

That's what I want to know too.

She said she had a good reason,
but I just can't understand her.

Imagine how Li-sa must feel then.

Nothing can justify violence.

She just lost her temper and slapped…

Right.

Look at my hand. It's still shaking.

But she made it sound like it was nothing.

THE STORY OF THE ISLAND AND THE LAKE
BY JEONG HUI-JU

Ho-su, have some more vegetables.
They'll get rid of the itching.

It's fine. If you don't want to eat it,
you don't have to.

What about Li-sa?
She can't even hold down some food?

Her doctor said she'd feel nauseous
for a few days after the eardrum repair.

She wants to rest in her room.

Focus on helping her recover.
Stop causing trouble.

We had a million ways to handle her.
Why did you hit her?

So did that make you feel better?

No.

You think I didn't want
to slap her myself?

Thanks to your temper,
we can't do anything about her now.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I'm back.

-I already ate. Sit.
-Okay.

Have you heard?

She went back to her old ways.

I told them to erase the footage.

You can take care of the rest.

We won't erase it.

She's done nothing wrong.

If we do, the missing footage
of that day will be a problem.

I watched the footage.

Her attitude made me furious too.

If I hit her, people would say
I went on a power trip. But not with you.

You're her mother.

I'll go and wash my hands.

Ho-su, it's been a few days.
Aren't you glad to see Daddy?

Ho-su, have some more vegetables.

Should I feed it to you?

There.

Open your mouth.

Good boy. What a big eater you are.

Look at you eat.

All right. Let's have one more spoonful.

No! I'm going to sleep with Grandma!

-I don't want to go!
-Gosh.

He can sense it too.
He won't be able to relax at home.

But we live very close. This is too often.

Ho-su.

Then go to your dad and ask him if you can
stay here with your grandma tonight.

Or you're coming home with me.

I'll sleep here tonight!

Ho-su.

Take my son with you.
Your son will stay here with me.

Go.

The teacher said
she punished Li-sa for what she did.

But Li-sa wouldn't tell me what happened.

The fact that she won't talk
means there's a problem.

Right.

If Li-sa did something wrong--

Even so. She can't hit
a student that senselessly.

Right?

What's her deal? You must know.

She's a temporary substitute,
so I wasn't in the hiring process.

What is it?

She reminds me of her.

Of whom?

That woman.

She resembles a student
who taught me how to draw.

Ms. Gu taught you how to draw?

No. She resembles the student,
so I was surprised. That's all.

Her name is different.
And I checked her résumé.

She's from a different school too.

Why does that bother you then?

I don't know.
I can't seem to forget about it.

Is it because
she teaches art of all subjects?

Never mind.

Why am I thinking about her
when I'll never see her again?

Don't worry. I'll take it from here.
Just focus on your exhibition.

You said this one was important.

I hope I can meet the deadline.

I know you'll do a great job.

Thanks.

For what?

You sided with me earlier
in front of your mother.

Don't thank me. That's what husbands do.

They are still so lovey-dovey.

How gross.

Right?

My boy.

Was she…

waiting for me to hit her?

SHUT DOWN HIGH SCHOOL OF ARTS
EDUCATION ISN'T BUSINESS!

It'll be an art school now.

-Come on. Keep them parallel.
-Really?

-Hello.
-Hi, girls.

That was sudden.
It'll be a high school of arts now?

Assault?

Didn't Hyeon-seong tell you?

No, he didn't.

She sued you.

She's probably trying to keep her teaching
license, but you'll do nothing.

Let's make sure
no one will write articles--

Let them.

I was talking to our lawyer, not you.

No, Mother.

Hyeong-gi. You're listening, right?

Her actions shouldn't be covered up
because of what I did.

Even if I have to face punishment,

I can't watch her calling the shots.
She's the one who caused the whole thing.

She's just trying to get attention.
Don't let her have her way.

But if we let this slide,

she won't know what she did wrong.
She'll be more brazen next time.

Then what about Li-sa?

Does she deserve to get beaten?

If you knew the consequences,
why did you hit her? You caused this.

Whatever! I'm done!

She should just listen,
not talk back to me.

I'm afraid she's right.

That's what I hate.
Everything she said was right.

How annoying.

What should we do?

Why are you asking me that?

I made you the legal advisor
to handle matters like this.

Seriously. She was doing fine in the UK.
Why drag her here?

There are a lot of good boarding schools.

They'll inherit everything I have anyway.

Why study their asses off
to become doctors and lawyers?

They can just hire
smart doctors and lawyers.

So tell me about this crazy teacher.
You met her, right?

She's a substitute teacher.

But she knew a lot
about the management of our school.

She dared to submit a medical record
she got from our hospital.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATE

If she wanted attention, she sure got it.

TAERIM HOSPITAL

Hello.

Let me take that off for a moment.

Please sit up straight.

I'm going to raise the bed.

Let me see.

Can you make a fist and loosen it?

Like this.

Try to clench your hand again.
And loosen it.

Your wrist sprain is pretty severe.

What about here? Doesn't it hurt?

It hurts.

It looks like you had this for a while.

You shouldn't endure it.

You're not supposed
to endure pain. Hold on.

The gel is pretty cold.

Will this take long?

Yes.

-Then I'll do it next--
-Let me just finish it.

Your body is telling you
that it's exhausted.

Becoming sensitive over small sounds
and getting upset over nothing…

Ignoring the symptoms
will make things worse.

Do you use your hands a lot for your job?

-Why do you ask?
-So I can pay extra attention to them.

You should be careful.

Why? Is the gel too cold?

It's not that.
Everyone who comes here is in pain.

They might take
your kindness the wrong way.

Gosh.

Excuse me.

Hey, sis.

It's okay.

Li-sa said she wanted
to have lunch with you.

Yes.

-Guys.
-When?

She didn't take the meds.

-I'll wait.
-So focus.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Li-sa was the one who got assaulted,
and you're sued?

You thought I wouldn't find out
if you kept quiet?

My husband was called in early
because of what you did.

I'm sorry.

JEONG-HWAN'S PRIVATE TUTOR

It's the teacher who tutors Jeong-hwan
when he comes back on breaks.

Qualifications are important,
but kids can be picky.

The tutor has a good review.

I see. I'll talk to my husband first.

Just set up an appointment first.

You can discuss it later.

-But not now.
-Do you think it was my idea?

My husband brought it up first.
And I don't want to be petty over it.

Min-seo.

Hello. This is…

Yes.

I'm waiting in the car
at the main entrance.

Take your time.

ASSAULT

I'm on my way now.

What's wrong?

Let's go.

Mom.

Yes. Let's go.

What did the doctor say?

Nothing I haven't heard before.
He wants me to rest up.

That crazy bitch sued my mom.

You haven't heard? My mom hit her.

Li-sa, you shouldn't curse.

How did my mom hit her?

You want to know that?

It's a shame I missed it.
I should have been there to watch it.

Lucky you.

I envy you
for having my sister as your mom.

You have a mom too.

My mom only sides with me occasionally.

But she sides with you every time.

Does she?

Even if I kill someone?

You…

Don't ever do that.

So what will happen to my mom?

I think she'll be fine.

Your teacher crossed the line first.

What? So you think
I got beaten because I did too?

Gosh, no. That's not what I meant.

-Did you cross any line with her?
-No.

Then what happened?

That bitch is trying to take away
what is mine.

Thank you.

-Hey, Hui-ju.
-Let's go.

RICE MEAL

One rice meal, please.

Never mind. I'm sorry.

I also serve food.

I serve food too.

But this looks like a bar.

I didn't change the sign yet.
I guess I'll serve food too.

The door was open,
so I thought you were open.

And I am. You don't
have to wait until night to drink.

-Do you want a drink too?
-No.

Whisky isn't that popular
in this neighborhood.

Popular or not, I'll be happy either way.

If no one wants it,
there'll be more for me then.

Please sit down.

A MOMENT PASSES BY INSTANTLY, BUT WHILE
DRAWING THE MOMENT, YOU GET TO RELIVE IT

This is a bar, after all.
I must serve a drink to my first customer.

I appreciate the gesture,
but I don't really drink.

You can start now.
That way, you'll be my regular customer.

I don't like free things.

It's not free.

This is free.

This is a bar, you know.

I hope you enjoy.

Your tutor will come starting tomorrow

to help you catch up with the schoolwork.

I don't need a tutor.

You keep saying that,
and it makes me more worried.

Just until you fully recover.

We'll readjust once you go back to school.

What did Mimi say?

Mimi?

Oh, her.

What did she say?

Of course, she apologized
and asked if you were okay.

I see.

You won't have to see her
at school ever again.

-So don't worry.
-Okay.

Give me that and go inside.

Isn't it for Ho-su?

Yes, it is. I'll take it. Give me that.

Li-sa wanted some pasta,
so we went to Fresca.

And I know that
Hyeong-gi likes their gnocchi.

He had a hectic morning because of me, so…

And thank you
for introducing me to the tutor.

The tutor will come starting tomorrow.
Thank you so much.

Okay. That's great.

Well, I feel awful. We already ate dinner.

I see.

-Ho-su can eat it then.
-Then bye.

Did Hyeong-gi say anything yesterday?

Don't worry. That's his job.

Is something wrong between
him and Min-seo? Do you know anything?

My sister is difficult with everyone.

Tell me about Li-sa's tutor.

Min-seo introduced me to the tutor.

She must be good seeing how
she also teaches Jeong-hwan.

She helps kids with their schoolwork
and mental well-being.

Today is her first day.
Do you have time to meet her?

I have a meeting this morning.

Let's have dinner some other time.

Then can you drop off
Ho-su at kindergarten?

I'll wake Li-sa up and get her ready.

-Sure.
-Thanks.

Li-sa. Wake up.

Your tutor will be here soon,
so let's get ready.

Your friends must be all waiting for you.
Do the Superman pose.

All right. Your head. Oh, no.

I'll drop you off like Superman.

Let's go. We're off now.

Okay. Have a good day, honey.

See you, Ho-su.

Li-sa. It's time to wake up now.

Don't lock the door. That worries me.

Go wash up.

I'm so sorry.

Outsiders like you
shouldn't be in the complex.

Get out before I call security.

Hui-ju.

Things were crazy that day,
so I didn't recognize you.

Do you…

recognize me?

I'm sorry

I hurt Li-sa.

I'm truly sorry.

Get up.

Li-sa's home.

I don't think she's ready to see you yet.

Get up.

Hui-ju.

It's really been a long time.

It has.

It has, but it's awkward
to see you again like this.

Hui-ju, you don't have to be so formal.

If I'd recognized you,
I wouldn't have sued you like a fool.

I'm really sorry.

My husband will take care of that.

No. I'll drop the charges right away.

That's only fair.

I did hear that Li-sa's mom was a painter.

Don't flatter me.

I saw you in the magazine, but I thought
that it was someone who resembles you.

Because I never

imagined you'd become a painter.

I know it's slow progress,
but focus on the basics.

If you learn it the wrong way now,
it'll be hard to fix that.

Your body will remember it.

Fixing a bad habit
is the hardest task of all.

I don't know how I didn't recognize you.

It's understandable
since I did get pretty old.

No. You look younger now. I mean it.

Maybe that must be why.

I guess I'm the only one who aged.

When I saw you the other day,
I was reminded of you too.

I looked at your résumé
because of the incident with Li-sa.

But your name was different,
and your school…

Didn't you go to
the school near Namsan Mountain?

Unless my memory is wrong.

I couldn't graduate from that school.

I was expelled while I stayed with
my family. So I went to another school.

And Gu Hae-won is my real name.

Back then, I used a German name
I was going to use to study abroad.

Hannah.

Yes.

You remember.

I believed I could do anything
I wanted to do then. I miss those days.

Please, Hui-ju. Don't be formal with me.

Sure.

Fine.

Hui-ju.

I'm really sorry.

-Please forgive me.
-Gosh. Stop it.

I'm busy trying to make ends meet,
so I've lost my passion for art.

If I haven't, I would have met you sooner.

I regret it.

Hey.

Some woman was on her knees
in front of your house.

I guess you didn't know.

Hui-ju will tell me
if I should know about it.

So the establishment
of the school was approved?

Yes.

You must be worried.

I heard that many approvals
are withdrawn before the permit.

Li-sa's incident caused a disturbance.

Min-seo.

That's my job to worry about.
Just stop fighting with your husband.

Seeing him squirm
in front of Mom breaks my heart.

You should be nice to him.

The doors are opening.

Aren't you getting off?

The doors are closing.

Is he your son?

I didn't know you had a son.

How old is he?

Li-sa was pretty
when she was little as well.

I remember how sweet you were with Li-sa.

And I hurt your precious daughter.

You must've been heartbroken.

I'm really sorry.
I shouldn't have done it.

My life is so hard

that I keep losing my temper.

I'm apologizing
from the bottom of my heart.

So please forgive me.

That's enough.

-Hui-ju.
-I can't accept your apology yet.

Thinking about the pain you inflicted
on Li-sa makes this meeting unpleasant.

At school, you refused to apologize
because it wasn't your fault.

I don't know why you barge
into my home and are apologizing now.

This incident has nothing to do
with our past relationship.

You're right.

It has nothing to do with that incident.

I'm sorry about

this incident.

You should be apologizing to Li-sa,
not me.

And Li-sa isn't ready
to accept your apology yet.

Given our past relationship,

I should really stay out of it now.

My husband will pick up from here.

You should go.

Li-sa's tutor will be here soon.

I'm sorry, Hui-ju.

I mean it.

I'm so sorry.

This is Unit D.

The woman that's leaving now…

Yes. The one in a green coat.

I don't know how she got in.

But don't let her in
unless she has permission to enter.

Okay.

Gone?

How can an unconscious man disappear?

The nurse said a woman named Hannah
came with papers and requested

the hospital to discharge him.

Hannah?

Hello, ma'am. I'm Li-sa's tutor.

Hello.

You remember.

Hannah.

This incident has nothing to do

with our past relationship.

You're right.

It has nothing to do with that incident.

She didn't…

come here to apologize.

I found you.

She didn't come here to apologize.

REFLECTION OF YOU

Hui-ju.

What were you still doing there
in front of my house

after leaving my studio?

How do you know her?

Why are you curious about that?

It's all right.
There's nothing for you to worry about.

Does she know
what kind of person her husband is?

-I can't hear.
-Li-sa, look at me.

-Can't you hear me?
-I can't hear a thing!

What?

Why did you look for me?

You must not be interested in what I know.
