Mira, listen to me.

Please.

I’ll be right there.

Hello.

Excuse me.

Mira.

A FRENCH WOMAN

Doesn’t Youngeun have a chance to come for French film festivals?

She’s in Poland for a film festival now.

Then you can visit her in Warsaw.

What should I do about work?

You can ask for some time off.

I can't, she told me she was coming to Europe too late.

- Should I join you? - No, it’s too small.

I thought maybe you hadn’t had any yet.

Actually, I had one at the airport.

Wow. You’re really quick. You had a bath?

Yes. Long time, no see.

Welcome back to Seoul!

Should I come back later?

No, no. I just had a bath to clean up a bit.

I got lost on my way here wandering the streets and I felt gross.

- You still have no sense of direction? - Some things never change.

Have you lost weight?

No, I don’t think so

Something looks different...

You just haven’t seen me in a while.

You got here so fast you’re not busy?

It’s you of course I should come!

- What’s up with that coat? - I have no sense of the weather.

Still...

Hold on a minute.

Sure.

Wow! The room is big and nice.

Mira, listen to me.

Please.

I’ll be right there.

You can still sleep anywhere.

Had a late-night casting meeting yesterday.

Ah, you saw it? The photo?

God...when was this?

Is this the water fountain in front of Deoksoo Palace?

You haven’t changed a bit.

Thanks. But you’re not in the picture.

I guess I must’ve been working at my part time job, so I missed it.

Right, you worked a lot then.

You wore this jean jacket all the time.

It was my uniform then.

I see the usual trio is together in the picture.

Yeah, well, we were the same age and the youngest in the bunch,

so we were together all the time.

Haeran was so pretty.

You’ve worn that bracelet for so long.

I like it, it’s light. Now I feel strange without it.

I have good taste.

Do you still see Sungwoo often?

No, we talk on the phone now and then, but can’t meet often.

I texted him you’re coming, though.

Speak of the devil...he says he’s coming too.

Sungwoo? The Hwang Sungwoo we were just talking about?

The one and only.

You’re happy he’s coming?

Should I be?

Don’t be coy.

‘A TOAST TO YOUTH’

Look who’s here! Hwang Sungwoo. Long time no see.

It has been a while, Mira. You haven’t changed a bit.

Stop teasing me. It’s been 10 years already.

Nope, 3 years to be precise.

What are you talking about?

I had a quick stop in Paris. After the Avignon Festival.

That’s right, you did.

I didn’t know that.

Well, you don’t know everything.

I don’t?

Excuse me for a sec.

Honggyu, can I have a pint?

This place is the same.

We need at least one place like this. Everything changes so fast in Seoul.

Very true.

Well, I think this bar keeps going because Hyosang and Honggyu own it.

Where’s Hyosang?

He’ll be late; he’s finishing a shoot.

Ah ha. Still shooting that TV series.

That one is a real blind end. Long way to go still.

- Hyosang is stuck in a blind end? Really? - He needs to pay the bills.

Blind end...like in a mine, right?

Yes, the deepest part of the mine,

but at some point we started to use it as code for really bad soap operas.

I see. Language is an interesting thing.

So how long has it been since you’ve been in Korea?

Eight years.

Ah. It’s the first time since your father’s funeral, then.

Yes.

You must be tired. I guess Paris must still be quite chaotic?

It is. But it’s because of that chaos that I could have some time to come here.

How’s your husband doing? Was his name Jules?

How do you remember his name?

We met in Paris that time.

Right.

I remember you visited our place during a tough time.

I thought it was alright.

That’s what marriage is like. My wife and I are the same.

You’re married?

You don’t remember?

I told you on messenger that he married a girl 7 years younger than him.

Right, I remember now.

How could you forget something like that?

I’m sorry.

How’s your wife? Why didn’t you bring her tonight?

She’s on the night shift at the hospital. I barely see her nowadays.

Hospital?

She’s a nurse. That’s how this poor artist survives.

Am I right?

I liked your last movie, by the way.

My wife liked it more.

She’s amazed at how well you captured the mentality of a cancer patient.

She said that? I’m flattered.

But why are you just telling me this now, though?

You should’ve called me when you saw the movie!

You two never see each other?

The funny thing is, it’s more difficult to meet living in the same country.

I saw you more in Paris than I’ve ever seen him here.

It’s because we’re working in two totally different fields.

I don’t think so.

Obviously you never think or care anything about me.

And you think and care about me?

Of course I do.

So that’s why you call me only you’re drunk?

She still drunk-dials people?

Not as often as before.

You don’t call me out of affection, you just call randomly.

When Haeran was around, she could at least force you to control yourself,

but people can’t easily change.

Anyway, that was the last time we saw each other. Haeran’s...

Haeran’s funeral?

No, the first anniversary of her death.

Why don’t you at least call me when your play opens?

Hyosang said you’re rehearsing now.

You’re rehearsing something...?

It’s the same play I always put on, ‘Betrayal’

by Harold Pinter.

You two were in that play a long time ago... in Ms. Choi‘s class?

Wasn’t that ‘Betrayal’?

Yes.

I remember. That was great.

I can’t remember.

That hurts, Mira.

I can still picture it clearly.

Director Kim!

You’re here...

Always the center of attention.

And what’s with the suit? Isn’t it too hot?

I rushed right over after the shoot. I couldn’t wait to see Director Kim.

Stop it. I’m gonna kick your ass.

It’s been a long while.

It has.

But, do I know you?

Seriously?

It’s understandable it was a really long time ago.

But we had your farewell party right here!

Can’t even count the number of farewell parties we’ve had here.

Everyone and his dog left to study abroad then!

Listen to how he talks!

Sorry.

You don’t remember singing ‘Aux Champs D’Elysees’?

‘Aux Champs D’Elysees’?

You sang ‘Aux Champs D’Elysees’ to celebrate Mira going to Paris.

Right...Paris!

Is that how you say ‘Paris’ in French?

By the way, Director Kim,

why do you only call me when you’re drunk?

I feel neglected...

Cut it out!

Our drinks should be on the house since you’re late.

Have you ever paid at this bar?

I remember I broke my leg at Mira’s farewell party.

That’s right. You fell when you were dancing on the table.

Was it that day? The day we called for an ambulance twice?

Yep. It was.

We had to call one again for Haeran.

It’s pretty amazing that a girl who once fell from tables

has become a decent filmmaker.

Shut up!

Sungwoo, how are things at your theater?

Why has Kyungmook suddenly gone underground? He’s the producer!

Tell me about it!

She came here looking for Kyungmook the other day. It was quite a scene.

Where is the washroom here?

You have to go out... Want me to come with you?

I’m good.

Are you talking about Han Kyungmook, the producer?

Yes, him...

Shinchon Blues Autumn Concert September 10, 1997

Can I borrow your lighter?

Yes

Thanks. Have a good night.

Have a good night.

Mira Where were you?

How come the guest of honor disappeared?

Youngeun just got here. Where is she?

We need her to liven things up.

Excuse me. A pint, please.

Yes. Wait a minute.

Surprise!

Sorry, I’m late. I went to a concert with Haeran.

Concert?

Didn’t I tell you? Shinchon Blues.

This jacket...

What about it? It’s not like you’ve never seen it before.

I came right after seeing the concert with Haeran.

I mean... Sungwoo thinks we need you to liven things up.

See? That’s my job.

Take this. It’s a present from Haeran and me

Here, let me help you.

Good luck!

So you’ll be a real Parisienne...

Thanks.

‘Merci’, you should say.

My cute bunnies. So cute.

Stop it!

Don’t forget us while you’re in Paris.

She’s not going there to die. Why are you crying?

Honggyu, put some fun music on!

Yep, and turn the volume up.

Let’s go have fun.

Youngeun! Why are you going up there?

She is at it again.

Can we talk for a minute?

You like this director, right?

Yes, ‘The Empty Space’!

How did you know?

I have no doubt that you’ll become a great actor!

I’ll go to Paris, so let’s meet then.

What are you doing here?

Oh, Haeran.

Youngeun fell from the table.

What?

Mira!

What’s on your mind? You seem deep in thought.

Me? No, nothing.

- You still record and listen to it? - Did you hear that?

That was your routine when you were first learning French.

Yes, it’s the best way, I think.

Still working hard on it even though you already speak French well.

Not really...

I had a strange dream last night.

Strange dream?

I saw Haeran in my dream.

Haeran?

Yes.

But she just stared at me.

I have no idea what the dream means.

Because it’s a dream. You can’t always know what they mean.

Right...

Was it the first time that day?

For what?

Haeran hurting herself.

In the bathroom during my farewell party

Seems like it...

but... she did that a couple more times after that,

when she broke up with Sungwoo for good.

Oh, really?

God, how many times I had to go to the ER for that...

It doesn’t feel real that I’m in Seoul having coffee with you like this.

We’d be drinking beer at happy hour if we met in Paris.

It’s happy hour all day in Seoul the beer is so cheap.

You’re right, all-day happy hour!

But I can’t partake in happy hour with you today.

I have to go to the office.

Go ahead, work!

What are you going to do?

I’m thinking about going to Gwanghwamun.

Why there?

That yellow ribbon.

Yellow ribbon? The Sewol Ferry protestors’ tents?

Are they still there?

Probably.

I should go see.

You should.

I fasted for two days with other filmmakers in a tent like that.

You did? Really?

Yes. But even a person like me couldn’t sleep in that tent.

It was so noisy and I could feel the vibrations from cars passing by on the road beside.

If you couldn’t do it, I probably shouldn’t even try.

I don’t think you could handle it. You’re so particular about things.

Could you cut this please?

Who is it?

Who is it?

It’s me, Youngeun.

Are you all right?

What time is it?

You ask that now? It’s already past 10 pm.

What? Already?

I thought something must be wrong with you,

you just kept sleeping.

Yes.

I didn’t realize how much time had passed. Maybe because of jet lag.

I waited for you but ended up seeing the play without you since you never showed up.

Right, we were supposed to see a play.

You remember now?

I’m sorry, I must’ve passed out.

Anyway, let’s go out. Sungwoo is waiting downstairs.

Let me wash my face at least.

Okay. I’ll wait for you downstairs with Sungwoo.

Take your time.

Okay.

Why don’t you remember?

When?

You drive me crazy.

How can I remember that?

That scene with the babysitter...

That was the most grotesque one.

Listen, Mira. The story goes like this.

A couple goes out for the evening and comes home.

Their babysitter welcomes them home and the couple asks the babysitter

if the kids are okay and if they behaved.

But the babysitter doesn’t answer and has a worried look on her face.

The couple keeps asking her about their kids...

then she answers she shouldn’t have done what they asked her to do.

The couple asks what she means by that, and she replies,

‘I shouldn’t have pretended to babysit your kids when there are no kids at all.

You don’t have kids in the first place but you asked me to pretend there are kids and to babysit them.

I thought it was weird but I did it because I need the money.’

It gives me chills.

That scene had major impact.

The play has 20 scenes like,

20 episodes in one play.

One thing bothers me.

The babysitter’s dress looks like the one I used in ‘The Maids’

This is the problem with directors.

Can’t get out of their own heads. You shouldn't worry like that.

Oh come here.

This is actress Ji Hyunah. We’re working together now.

And this is film director Kim Youngeun.

-Hello. -Hi.

Hi, I’m Lee Mira, the only non-artist at this table.

I’m an old friend of these two.

Nice to meet you.

I saw your play. It was good.

- You did? With Sungwoo? - Yes

Did Kyungmook steal our costume?

No way

You’re embarrassing me.

Can I have a bottle of soju, Honggyu?

I am right.

This cup is a clean one.

Let me fill your glass.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

How did you like the play?

I’m sorry, I couldn’t see it today.

She’s struggling with jet lag.

Oh. You came from somewhere far?

From Paris.

I kind of guessed it.

You did?

She looked like a Parisienne even before she moved to Paris.

I love Paris.

Yes, it’s a good place to live.

It’s a shame that I’ve been there only once,

and barely saw anything because of a performance.

She performed in the Avignon Festival 3 years ago in “The Maids”, too.

We did the play together.

Really? We could’ve met earlier.

I wanted to stay in Paris longer but I was having a hard time then.

It’s funny...

that you never met even though you were in the same city at the same time.

Does it give you some kind of cinematic inspiration?

That is correct.

I heard Korean women

easily adapt to Europe. Something in the soil, I guess.

At least better than Korean men, don’t you think, Mira?

Maybe.

Men cannot survive without Korean food.

Don’t you think women survive better anywhere they go?

That is absolutely true!

What is this? Am I being pushed out?

How come Hyunah got an egg and I didn’t, Honggyu?

She ordered soju. You shouldn’t drink soju on an empty stomach.

I’ve been drinking soju too, Honggyu.

Where are you going?

Do you want this egg?

No, I am kidding.

Don’t rush.

Not feeling well?

I think I strained a muscle when I got up too fast after my nap.

Nothing serious.

Did it happen when I woke you up before?

No problem. It should be better by tomorrow.

But a strain like that doesn’t go away that easily.

It’s fine.

You resemble someone, Hyunah.

Who?

A girl named Haeran.

Ah, Ms. Jang Haeran. I hear that sometimes.

She resembles Haeran? I’m not so sure.

She does especially her profile.

I don’t know. What do you think, Sungwoo?

Sometimes she looks like her. Rarely.

It’s an honor.

You knew her?

Not personally.

But I dreamed about playing Emma in ‘Betrayal’ after seeing Ms. Jang's Emma.

Did she play Emma?

Yes. Sungwoo directed it. Almost 10 years ago, I guess.

She won a lot of awards for that role.

It must be about 10 years ago now.

Right, I remember.

Haeran said she liked Hyunah’s performance in ‘The Maids’

Really?

What? You’re just telling her that now?

Yeah...

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Men...

It’s okay.

I’m lucky to play Emma now.

Why?

Because I’m getting older so I understand Emma more.

I couldn’t do the role as well if I had played her when I was in my 20s.

But I don't think

an actor has to be the same age as a character to play the part well.

Of course not.

But for ‘Betrayal,’ there’s something about the age.

It could look fake if a younger actress does it...

I kind of agree for ‘Betrayal.’

Especially to interpret the loneliness of the opening scene.

Then only a married woman can understand the part of Emma?

I didn’t mean that.

How does this lead to that?

You carried a joke too far, Director Kim.

I’m not joking.

Someone keeps talking about experience.

You don’t get along with actresses, do you?

Pardon?

You two cut it out and let’s drink.

I guess you’ve never seen any of my films.

That’s enough.

Fuck.

Wow..

‘The Maids’ by Jean Genet.

mise-en-scene by Hwang Sungwoo starring Ji Hyunah

That’s always the problem with you, Kim Youngeun.

It’s bullshit that I can’t understand.

Then, are you telling me that all actors should play

only characters whose situations they have experienced?

That’s just crap.

No, what I meant was... it’d be difficult for you, since you’re in your late 20s,

to understand a character in her 30s who is married.

That’s total bullshit.

Why don’t you just say that my acting was fucking lousy?

That I can understand.

That’s not what I meant. Calm down and listen to me.

You’ve never liked my acting, even at the theater academy.

Stop overreacting, Haeran. That’s not true.

Do you have to talk about this today of all days?

Then why did you even ask?

You shouldn’t even ask me about your acting.

Do you think I should just flatter you because you won some awards?

Hey guys.

Are you two at it again? Even on a day like this?

How is it possible that you, a female director,

cannot understand the mind of a woman?

What?

How is it possible that you,

a female director, cannot understand the mind of a woman? Is that what you’re saying?

Kim Youngeun,

let’s be grown-ups, shall we?

Then stop testing my patience.

Where have you been?

Me? Bathroom.

I’m sorry about earlier. It was awkward, wasn’t it?

Hyunah is a nice person

but she gets kind of aggressive when she drinks.

No kidding. I was surprised.

Where did you go, by the way?

That actress had a sudden seizure so we had to get her a taxi.

Does it happen often?

She’s been okay recently

but I think she's gotten worse since she broke up with Kyungmook.

You mean Han Kyungmook?

Does that bastard fool around with every actress?

Don’t say that.

Why not?

What’s worse is that he’s a married man, isn’t he?

That’s their problem.

I can’t stand that kind of jerk!

Tell me, what was it about Hyunah that put you off.

It’s not like that.

Then, what was it?

It's really not like you.

I don’t know. I guess something bothered me.

What should I say? I didn’t like her eyes.

Don’t be such an old maid.

Basically you’re saying you don’t like her, period.

All right, fine. I don’t like her. So what?

She’s really like Haeran.

Why do you keep bringing up Haeran?

There are similar things about those two.

I really don’t know. Haeran was much more attractive.

That’s your subjective opinion.

Did you not like Hyunah because she resembles Haeran by any chance?

That’s nonsense.

Whatever. You don't need to get pissed.

I saw a woman

who looked exactly like Haeran near the Opera metro station in Paris last summer.

What are you talking about?

I was as surprised as you are now.

But she looked exactly like Haeran.

Did you talk to her?

No; I just kept staring at her.

Mira,

how could a person who died 2 years ago appear in the center of Paris last year?

Did you dream it?

What is it with all of you today?

I was so worried when you didn’t show up and didn’t answer the phone,

that actress had a seizure,

and now you are telling me that you saw Haeran, who’s dead?

Youngeun!

Director Kim!

Haeran called Youngeun right before she died

but Youngeun didn’t answer it.

Did you hear about that?

She didn’t answer the phone?

Youngeun was really angry at Haeran at the time.

You know...

Youngeun is not the kind of person to not answer the phone.

But she didn’t answer that time.

That’s why she gets so sensitive when Haeran’s name comes up.

I understand how she feels,

but we all know Haeran suffered from depression.

But people naturally feel some level of guilt

when things like that happen.

I did, too.

Did something in particular happen to Haeran then?

That’s what I couldn’t figure out.

She was really depressed

but seemed to get better a few days before she died.

Otherwise, she would’ve never thought of calling Youngeun.

They weren’t getting along at all then.

Youngeun suffered a lot after Haeran died.

Why did you two break up then?

What?

You and Haeran, after graduation.

What is this? Are you doing this on purpose?

What do you mean?

Do you really want to hear it from me?

I have no beer.

Here, Nabi.

I'm sorry, madame. I didn’t mean to wake you.

And the baby?

Asleep now, madame.

The baby is sleeping.

And Nabi?

Where’s my cat?

Wasn't...

it because of Nabi?

Pardon?

The baby...

I’m afraid

I cannot answer that, madame.

Hello, Mira?

Were you sleeping?

No, I woke up from the rain sound.

It’s raining hard.

Are you still going there?

Going where?

You said you wanted to visit your father.

Did I?

Yes, and I said I’d give you a ride.

Maybe, if the rain lets up.

No problem, call me when you’ve made up your mind.

Okay.

Youngeun.

Yes?

Listen... about what I said last night... about Haeran...

Don't worry about it. Call me later.

All right.

Should I just give this number to your insurance company?

Yes. Let’s just deal with this quick.

Sorry, are you okay?

Yes. Drive carefully.

Are you okay?

Uh-huh.

Guess dad is trying to tell me today is not a good day for a visit.

Yes, please make an appointment,

yeah, got it.

You have to go now?

No, it's for tomorrow.

The actress said she wants to meet with me.

Great. Doesn't that mean 'yes'?

Not necessarily.

There are many actors who reject at the very

last minute even after a good talk.

Who could ever know what they’re thinking?

People in the business say that there are three kinds of human beings in the world:

woman, man, and actor.

I wanted to be the third kind once.

Do you have any regrets?

Regrets? There’ll be no end if I start to regret things.

True.

But your life has been good even though you’re not an actress.

Pajeon is great on rainy days.

Aren't you going to play Shinchon Blues?

Sorry but the speaker is dead...

Then you can sing for us.

He looks great when he plays guitar.

No. It's been too long since I played.

Well...there are only three of us here. Please!

Stop giving him a hard time.

-Just one song. -Hello.

Hello.

Let’s sit over there.

So this is where you are.

People from your theater group?

Yes, we just finished rehearsal.

How have you been, Mira?

Why are you asking that? We just saw each other last night.

When did you say you’re going back to Paris?

I never told you when.

Ah, I was just wondering...

Director.

I’ll talk to you guys a little later.

What should we order?

Whatever you want.

Did something happen between you two last night?

Mira?

Why do you force a person to sing when he says no?

It's so childish.

Hey!

Why are you snapping at me?

But you try to force everyone to think the same as you.

Don’t try to know everyone’s business.

What is going on?

One more bottle of soju please.

Not everyone thinks like you,

but you try to force everyone to follow you.

There are many kinds of people.

Some people express everything

but some people don’t want to do that.

Like you?

Sometimes I feel like you're a stranger to me.

It seems like you don’t want to share any of your feelings with anyone.

Why do I have to share my feelings?

What?

Why do I have to share depressing feelings?

I already told you some people don't want to talk about what they feel.

Mira!

Because we’re friends!

If you can't share your feelings with your friends, then who can you share them with?

You're such an optimist.

You believe that you can relieve your pain by talking about it with someone.

Humans are completely alone.

You don’t even look at me while we’re talking.

That’s the problem.

You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.

Where?

To Normandy.

François.

But you want to go.

Well... because he’s my friend.

But I’m afraid that you haven’t fully recovered.

You’re going?

I have to. It’s an important thing for Francois.

You’re going to leave me alone in Paris?

Should I ask Marianne to come stay with you?

Or you could go to Auvers-sur-Oise.

Marianne came to stay with me at the hospital instead of you just because she’s your sister.

Don’t you feel sorry having to ask her to come again?

Not because she’s my sister.

Because she’s your friend.

And you know how much she loves you.

Sometimes I wonder if you really care about me or you just say you do.

I’m confused.

Mira.

What do you want me to do, Mira?

You always make me feel like I’m a bad person.

And I hate that.

I just want us to share our feelings.

So you’re saying I don’t share my feelings with you?

And you’ve felt like that the whole time?

Mira, you know I love you.

No, I don’t.

I really can’t be sure. I think I’ll wither away.

I really think so.

Mira...

And in someone else’s country.

If only I had never met you!

Mira.

Wait a minute.

People will come.

François and his wife are coming to Paris this weekend

so I told them to stay with us.

Hope that’s okay with you.

They come to Paris quite often.

Often? It has been two months since they last came here.

Don’t they have any other place to go in Paris than here?

Doesn’t Youngeun have a chance to come for French film festivals?

She’s in Poland for a film festival now.

Then you can visit her in Warsaw.

What should I do about work?

You can ask for some time off.

I can’t.

She told me she was coming to Europe too late.

- Should I join you? - No, it’s too small.

What? We used to have baths together when we first moved in.

Ms. Lee Mira.

Yes.

You didn’t put down your social security number.

Ah, I don’t have health insurance.

Please let me know how much I have to pay.

I see.

30 dollars please.

Thanks.

How is Nabi?

Didn't I tell you my Nabi died?

She did?

I didn't know. When?

Almost a year ago.

Not that long ago...

You must still be upset.

I wasn’t home when she died so

I feel bad about that.

Then you found her dead when you got home?

No...

I was in the hospital because I was sick.

Jules found her.

You were in the hospital? Why?

What was so serious that you had to be hospitalized?

Nothing serious; I was just exhausted from working too much.

Geez...

You should take care of your health now.

Get your back checked when you return to Paris.

Ok, I will

It always feels worse when you’re sick away from home.

Yes, it’s depressing.

There’s a really nice place near Normandy.

A town with a river. And a house with a windmill.

I went there with Jules.

But it looked so familiar.

And Jules said it looked like a place from ‘Jules et Jim.’

So we parked our car and got on a boat.

Jules rowed.

I remember that moment.

That was the happiest time.

It was such a romantic moment

like we were the only people on the planet.

So you spent the night there?

Yes...

we had to as it got dark.

Did we? Did we stay there? Or did we go?

It’s been so long that I can’t quite remember everything.

It happens.

Some moments can be so vivid but still you can’t remember

what came before or after those moments.

Yes, just like that.

Let’s go to Deoksoo Palace.

Deoksoo Palace? Why, suddenly?

I sometimes don’t believe we actually took classes in the palace.

But the place where we took classes is a museum now.

Really? That’s cool.

I need to go to the office today to get ready for that meeting. So today is tough...

Sure, you go do your work.

Let’s go together some other time.

Sure, let’s do that.

The weather is so nice.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

No exhibition today?

The Diaspora exhibition ended last week.

But there is a sign for it outside.

Is it still there? Forgot to bring it in again.

Well, do you mind if I look around?

There’s nothing to see since all the paintings were moved out.

It’s literally empty.

I want to see the empty space.

I don’t know if that’s such a good idea. If anything happens, it’s on me...

I used to take classes here. At a theater academy.

You mean there was a school here?

Yes, more than 20 years ago.

Sorry, still not today.

Yeah, I will check that.

Where have you been?

Where’s Sungwoo?

Sungwoo?

You should’ve told us if you two were going somewhere!

What is it?

We were worried, Sungwoo!

Are you really Haeran’s boyfriend?

What?

Stop it, Youngeun.

If you consider yourself Haeran’s boyfriend, how could you go on a trip with Mira?

Trip?

Mira don’t say anything.

I asked her to go.

I like her that’s why I asked her to go to the beach with me.

What is wrong with that?

I guess I misjudged you, Sungwoo!

How about you, Mira?

Do you feel the same way as Sungwoo?

Me?

Yes, you. Tell us if you feel the same way.

Answer me!

Why do I have to tell you how I feel?

What?

You’re so in your own world.

You know Haeran and Sungwoo are together.

Don’t you feel guilty?

I mean...

why do you think you can judge what we can or cannot do?

Mira!

You’re in no position to judge.

Mira why are you being such a bitch?

Kim Youngeun that’s enough!

Don’t worry.

I’m leaving to study in France.

So I wanted to see the water one last time.

That’s it.

You didn’t tell me that.

Sorry, I was going to tell you.

We stayed there for two days and you didn’t tell me that?

Did you sleep together?

What?

I asked if you slept together!

Please stop. Let’s take a break.

Haeran, what’s wrong?

Damn! You improvise as if it’s real!

She identifies a little too much with the character.

What’s wrong? Are you Okay?

Yeah...

I’m worried that you’re so sick.

How’s your back?

Um, it’s ok.

Do you think you can go today?

Today?

Mira.

Dad,

you always told me,

life means having to draw your own line.

I wonder if you think I’ve done that?

What do you think?

Please answer me.

I really want to know what you think,

but I can’t.

Here’s to Mira having a good trip.

Bon voyage.

Mira, visit Korea more often.

Toast.

This is good.

Isn’t it great? I bought it in Sweden.

It won some award.....

You are bragging!

Why not?

It’s tasty.

I guess you didn't like the demanding atmosphere of that class and the way the professor led it.

You had to hear all her criticisms in front of the other students.

That's right.

I think you were the only one who talked back to that professor.

And really, what the professor said was right so I think you cried out of spite.

Out of spite?

You'd rather die than let your pride get hurt.

You're surely not actress material.

If I had, I would've never went to France to study acting.

Why? France suits you well.

You're like a French woman.

Right, you're a much better fit in France than here.

You fit in well with the wine and cigarettes...

I’d rather drink beer than wine.

Right.

Time goes by fast.

I don’t think I told you about this.

But Haeran...

She came to Paris once.

Haeran did?

Did you see her then?

What? You knew about this?

I can't say that I knew exactly but Haeran told me

that she saw our staging of ‘The Maids’ in Avignon.

Three years ago?

Yes, we met at a Chinese restaurant in Paris.

How was she?

That's what I thought was a bit strange.

Why?

She looked angry, saying that she was disappointed

that there was nothing special about Paris.

It was as if she was angry about not being able to belong anywhere.

She told me she was thinking about moving to

Paris if she liked it, but since there was nothing special about it,

she had no desire to do that anymore.

You know I wasn’t very happy hearing that,

being someone who has lived in Paris for 20 years.

I guess I said something that hurt her.

I can’t remember it clearly.

I just remember that I was angry.

And?

Haeran apologized and we separated after a few glasses of beer.

That was it - the end.

She told me she loved Paris.

It's typical Haeran. She would say this and that.

You know, I shouldn’t ask because

it was so long ago ...

What is it?

When we were at the theater academy,

we had a birthday party for Youngeun at Keonkook University.

Whoa...

that was a really long time ago. So...?

Do you remember?

I remember it was spring, but wasn’t it really cold?

Do you remember that you and I snuck out of the party early?

Yes, that’s right.

And then we went to the sea.

Sea?

Oh, right.

You wanted to go to the sea suddenly,

so we took off to the bus station.

The one near Keunkook University.

And?

Bus service to the East Sea was finished

already so we went to a motel near the terminal.

Okay.

And that night, did we ...

Did we sleep together that night?

Is that what you really want to know?

I wanted to.

But how can I say this?

You didn't really give me any opening for that.

Really?

I washed your hair.

And you fell asleep right after.

So I had no choice but to sleep.

Are you disappointed?

No, I just wasn’t sure what happened.

I still feel the same.

The same about what?

I still want you.

I have to go out to smoke.

I got divorced.

Huh? I didn't know that...

Youngeun doesn't know, either.

You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.

Because I was insecure...

I must've felt insecure when I got divorced from Jules.

That's why I became French.

I went to school with her,

Jules's new girl.

She went to the same graduate school, for translation. A Korean girl.

Funny enough I guess he fancies Asian girls.

I thought that he liked me for me,

but I think it was because I’m Asian.

I was close with her,

so I thought their relationship unfair.

Feeling like you were betrayed?

Betrayed?

I'm sorry.

- For what? - I'm just ...

I'm fine. Time will heal.

You don’t need to tidy it up

Sungwoo,

do you still think that way?

Before I left for Paris you told me

I’d be a great actor.

You definitely had it in you.

But you don’t need to be an actress you’re beautiful regardless.

Director.

The producer wants to talk with you.

Sorry, Mira.

For what?

That I couldn't go to your father's funeral.

I had rehearsal you know, our performances weren't going well...

It's fine.

To be honest, I’m scared of funerals

so that made it harder to go.

Yes, I understand.

I know how close you were to your father.

That's why I feel so bad.

Haeran,

you couldn't come because you were in the hospital.

Hospital?

You slit your wrist.

No I didn't.

I was sorry for what I did in Paris.

But you keep making me confused.

How about you?

How about me?

You weren’t in the hospital because you were exhausted from work.

You got it wrong.

You’re deluding yourself.

What are you talking about?

I believe you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Why aren’t you answering the phone?

Are you okay?

Yeah, just give me a minute.

Since when?

What?

Since when have you been sleeping with someone else?

What are you talking about?

I know. Answer me.

Who is it?

Come here Mira.

Yes.

It’s not like that.

What?

It’s not because she’s Asian or Korean that I love Suhee.

Then why?

Because she’s Suhee.

I love her for who she is.

You think that makes sense?

I loved you because it was you, Mira.

You’re lying.

And I want us to stay friends.

I just can’t imagine a relationship like that with you.

I...just don’t want to lose you, Mira.

We have so much history.

Honestly I am angry at me more than you.

What do you mean Mira?

I just can’t bear myself when I’m with you.

What did I want from you?

I’m sorry.

I will always love you. Even if you don’t believe it.

What does any of it matter now!

Mira, please listen to me.

Please.

I’ll be right there.

Hi, Mira!

Excuse me.

Mira.

Mira, do you remember this photo?

Several terrorist attacks were reported on Friday the 13th in Paris,

France with gunshots and bombs going off throughout the city.

Let’s hear more details from our reporter standing by in Paris.

Six places in Paris were attacked, including a concert theater,

a restaurant and bars in the vicinity of a soccer stadium.

As it was a typical, busy Friday evening in the city,

many have died or were hurt in the explosions.

At 9:20 pm in District 10,

a terrorist shooting took place at a bar and at a Cambodian restaurant...

Mira,

Mira wake up.

People are here.
