(THE CLASSIC)

(SON YE JIN)

(CHO SEUNG WOO)

(AND CHO IN SUNG)

When I was a child, I remember seeing

a big rainbow over the river

Go away!

At that time my mother told me

"A rainbow is the door to heaven

When people die

they go to heaven through that door"

When I was a child my father passed away

And my mother went abroad

I wanted my mom to remarry

but she didn't want to

My name is Ji-hae

and my blood type is O

And since I was seven

I learned taekwondo

Are you okay?

This box contains

my parents' letters and diaries

Every time my mother read the letters,

she wept

The refined letters and

the scent of the past...

My mom's first love is in here

Hello?

Ji-hae?

It's me, Soo-gyung

Why are you calling so early?

Wanna go to the art museum

and a play with me and Sang-min?

Hey, are you making me tag along?

No, dummy!

Sang-min asked you to come

-Really? - I'm serious

I got to know Sang-min

through Soo-gyung

She one day asked me

to write e-mails to Sang-min

For two months, I wrote

letters to him for Soo-gyung

Today, I saw you reading

a book by the bench

It looked like a picture in a postcard

That's childish

Rewrite it?

No, I like it

I like it being childish

If you still want to marry

I'll give you a curse for a dowry

Sang-min, I sent you a letter

without missing a day

Afterwards,

Soo-gyung signed up for theater

So that she could get close to him

Good-bye

If you still want to marry

marry an idiot instead

The night stained with

pain kept me awake...

The gloomy moonlight has

unexpectedly made

your shadow suspend on my window

No, that's not it!

The gloomy moonlight has

unexpectedly made

your shadow suspend on my window

Even though Emily leaves Jordan,

Jordan is touched

when Emily comes back to see him

You have to feel both happy and heartbroken

Do it with more feeling!

The gloomy moonlight has

your shadow suspend on my window

When I look at him I feel breathless

But he never once looked at me

I'll put a spell on him

Look back! Look back! Look back! Hey!

Music

When I saw you for the first time

you already stole my heart

But now that you came to me

I feel like we'll be together forever

Good

My heart is yours forever

He doesn't make a lot of gesture

Isn't Sang-min fantastic?

I love guys who are into their work

Saw him?

"No, that's not it!"

"Never did I phathom that

The gloomy moonlight has unexpectedly made

your shadow suspend on my window

Not even in my dreams.

Talking about me?

It's nothing, Sang-min

You know Ji-hae, right?

She was with me when I first came here

Right, it's been a while

Yes...

Hello

A lot of girls like him

Not just Soo-gyung

Even the woman working at the student's hall likes him

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Sung Joo-hee

Yoon Tae-soo

Oh Joon-ha?

"When I opened the window this morning

the romantic breeze

signaled autumn coming

I'll put that wind

in the letter and send it to you"

Romantic breeze?

That's so cliché

I guess I'll look at it as a classic

Oh Joon-ha!

Tae-soo came to me all of sudden

whom I've never talked to

Please write me a letter

He heard the rumor

that I write for others

Tae-soo is a friend who grew no less than

36 centimeters during the winter vacation

To who?

To my fiancée

Fiancée?

She's my dad's friend's daughter

They set us up on their own

You're lucky

You don't have to ask girls out on dates

I'm sick of it

I'm not the type to date one girl

If she mails me

he wants to check it

He wants to know everything

He acts just like a FBI agent

Oh no

She's pretty, huh?

But since she's a congressman's daughter

she'll be shallow

Drive! Drive!

Let's catch a big one today!

Hold on! Hold on!

You let them slip out

between your legs

City boys are slow

Suwon isn't a city, Seoul is

Oh Suwon... But we have a city hall

You catch them and I'll draw them

Look carefully, idiot

Let's go. We're catching a carp, ok!

You know how I am right?

Trap them!

Here! Over here!

We got them! There here.

Let's go, let's go.

What are you doing? Idiot!

What are you doing!

She's Old SUNG's granddaughter

I heard she's from Suwon

Wait, you're from Suwon, right?

Yeah

We can never dream of having her

Old SUNG's son is a congressman

So she's a congressman's daughter

Then is she a congressman's son, idiot?

She's waving.

- Let's wave back! - Hey, wave!

- Hello! - Hi!

I found one!

Let me see!

Let's see

It stinks

I got one

It's a big one

It sure ate a lot of cow shit

It's a beetle

-A beetle? -Yeah

But I've never seen one

Do you want this?

That girl is coming for the bug.

She's walking over this way.

You wanna bet?

It's cow shit, it's dirty

Have you seen the haunted

house across the river?

What?

Yes

Can you take me there?

Yes

Do you know how to row?

Sure

Then let's meet at the ferry

at twelve tomorrow, okay?

What did you say to her?

City boys are surely different

Hey, teach me how to row!

You'll teach me, right?

Hey!

Stay still!

Grandpa told me a lot about it

but forbid me to go

It's strict where ever I go

I really wanted to go,

but I had no one to take me

If I ask the people here

then they'll tell my Grandpa right away

But the boat isn't moving

Excuse me?

To be honest

this is my first time rowing

My name is Oh Joon-ha

Oh my, I forgot to introduce myself

I'm Sung Joo-hee

You're from Suwon?

Yes

I'm from Suwon, too

I came here to visit my Uncle

Really?

What a coincidence

Or maybe fate?

- Pardon? - Oh, nothing

Is there... really a ghost?

Have you seen... a ghost before?

Of course

Every day

What?

In the mirror

Actually, I'm a ghost

Stop it

Are you okay?

Yes

I think I sprained my ankle

Get on my back

Hurry and get on my back

It's a shower

It'll stop soon

Dry yourself with this

When the rain stops

we'll go along the river

Then we'll reach the ferry

Although it's a bit far

I'm heavy, huh?

Nope

You're not heavy at all

But I weigh a lot

And I eat a lot, too

Don't worry

I can carry you on my back

and go anywhere!

You're lying

I'm not lying

Yes, you are

No, I'm not

I caught it

Open your hands

Hold the firefly for a moment

You gave me a firefly and carried me

But this is all that

I can give you in return

Please give me the firefly

Thanks for today

She was sick for a few days

and left for a big hospital in Seoul

After her mother died

she got really sick

But when she came back from the countryside

I heard she got healthier

and looked happier

It's done

Let me see

It was painful

to write the letters for Tae-soo

Because of her

I had a lot to tell her myself

It's great

Can I thank you

by showing you my specialty?

Yes

Wait a sec

You have to open your mouth

When we close our mouths

people will think we faked it

Watch carefully

Know what song this is?

"Moonlight of Shilla"?

You punks!

Why haven't you finished your chores?

Are you bastards playing hooky?

I'll check later so make it spotless!

And what's this smell?

Did someone take a shit here?

Joon-ha!

Oh Joon-ha!

Joon-ha! Oh Joon-ha!

Are you crazy to scream in a library?

Look, it's an invitation

Is everyone here Oh Joon-ha?

Nosey bastards

(Autumn Concert)

Thank you

Next is sophomore Sung Joo-hee

She will play Beethoven's

Sonata 8 on the piano

Welcome with warm applause

Joo-hee, you must be hungry

I bet you're hungry

Let's go.

Let's go.

Thank you

Congratulations

Is your ankle better?

Yes

-And your cold? -Yes

I was very worried about you

And I enjoyed your performance

I have to practice more

Everyone's waiting

I snuck out

I still have the firefly

It's in good health, like me

Hi

Sorry, I'm late

Hi, Ji-hae

Sang-min, I won

We made a bet

I bet you'd come

and Sang-min bet you wouldn't

You have to treat dinner

Okay, I will

You're awake? Want something to eat?

No...

Hello there pretty.

If you hadn't awoken,

my arm would have cramped up.

I was sweating and waiting for you

to say take a break.

Thank you.

You remember this canvas?

It's the one we shared the cost on.

Sir...

What are you looking at?

It looks like it will snow heavily.

I choose you to be the model.

An old painter paints a masterpiece! OK?

That was a great play.

I have to go

Why are you going so early?

Sang-min is treating us to dinner

Three's a crowd

You bad girl

You're too smart

Sang-min!

Ji-hae said she's leaving

Oh, just a minute.

But you should eat with us

And we can talk about the play, too

Ji-hae never changes her mind

Right, Ji-hae?

Right

See?

That's too bad

It would've been nice if you came

Ever seen Sang-min treat

anyone like this?

He's doing this

because you're my friend

He's just being nice so you can go,

It's okay

Wait!

I bought presents today

I also got you one,

so you wouldn't feel alone

I bet you won't be able to sleep tonight

This isn't like Sang-min

It's because you're a good friend

If it wasn't for me you'd never get this

Pick one

Ji-hae!

I like your present better

It's okay to switch, right?

Bye!

"When the sun shines on the sea,

I think of you

When the dim moonlight is on the spring

I think of you"

Really? Is that what it says?

Oh my gosh

Sang-min must really like me a lot

You have to give it to me tomorrow, okay?

Okay

I have no reason to see him anymore

He wants to be with Soo-gyung now

When the sun shines on the sea...

When the dim moonlight is on the spring...

Are you done?

Wait a little longer

Hand in your manure

in an envelope after lunch

- Got it? - Yes, sir

Those who didn't bring it

hurry and go take a shit!

Got it?

Let's get together!

Joon-ha

I'll close my eyes and run

so you guide me, okay?

I'm really closing them

Okay

Joon-ha

Wanna come with me to learn

the folk dance after class?

Folk?

I'm gonna meet Joo-hee there

It's my dad and his friend's idea

They want us to meet at a healthy recreation

A lot of girls will be there

so you pick one up

- Gonna come, right? - I don't know

Tae-soo!

Joo-hee, this is my friend Oh Joon-ha

She's the one I told you about

I'm Oh Joon-ha

Nice to meet you

Hello

Are you two friends?

Know each other?

No, we don't

He's my best friend

This is my friend, Na-hee

Hi, I'm Na Na-hee

I'm YOON Tae-soo

I'm Oh Joon-ha

Everyone please have a seat

Anywhere is fine

Today I will teach you the folk dance

- Sounds fun, right? - Yes

Folk Dance is...

I missed you

Me, too

I didn't know you were Tae-soo's friend

I want to be a woman anchor

So I always practice my speech

Can you do this?

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

Did I do okay?

I can do it faster

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

Shall I do it faster?

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

Give it a try

Peter Piper a pecked of peppers pickled...

You'll need a lot of practice

Repeat precisely after me

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

We should split up now

I'll take Joo-hee home

so you take care of Na-hee

Okay?

See you later

I had fun Good night

Bye, Joo-hee

Good night

What are you doing?

Let's get going

Joon-ha

then try something easier

Try this

She sells seashells by the seashore

Easy, huh?

Give it a try

Pardon?

I said give it a try

Give what a try?

She sells seashells by the seashore

Give this a try

I can't

Please don't ask me to

You can't do this?

She sells seashells by the seashore

It's easy

She sells seashells by the seashore

- Have a good... - Yes...

Good-bye

The card

I should've known there'd be a card for me

Ji-hae?

Oh, hello

Yeah!

Where are you headed?

To the library

That far?

It's not far

I won't get so wet

if I stop at each building

Then I'll take you there

With my special umbrella

Think of that building as a shed and run

One, Two, Three!

How are you?

Thanks so much

But you're soaked

I was going to get wet anyway

I should be going

Thanks again

- Okay, I'll see you later - OK!

I didn't think we'd meet again

But why does the library

have to be so close?

What I really want to stress to you all is

that President Park Chung-hee...

Hey, who are you?

Let's hurry and get him up

The 1st 5-year economic development plan

already went successful.

has achieved...

She hasn't mailed me back yet

Joo-hee?

Yeah

Why not?

I don't know

I'm not the type to fall in love with one girl

But I must really like her

Tae-soo! Tae-soo!

Tae-soo?

Hi

What are you doing here?

I was waiting for you

Please take these flowers

I like you, Joo-hee

Please write to me

It's so strange

Is it because I'm too tall?

Why do I keep fainting?

I'm out of breath

It's because of Tae-soo, right?

What do you think I should do?

Tell me

Tae-soo is a rotten bastard

No, Tae-soo is nice

He's a rotten bastard

because he's too nice

Tae-soo is waiting for your letter

There's no hope

There's nothing we can do for us

Don't say that

There's a way

No, there's nothing more we can do

Nothing

We'll only get hurt

It'll work out

I won't see neither you nor Tae-soo anymore

I'm serious

I won't see anyone

Hey, limousine boy!

Come here

Limousine boy! Forgot to bow?

So you don't wanna bow is that it?

If you have a chauffeur

you don't have to bow, huh?

Your badge is upside down

and your shirt's unbuttoned

Fine, today I'll give you

the worst beating ever

I'm gonna beat you all starting from the left

The first one gets hit once

the second one gets hit twice

From the third shout out your turn

- Got it? - Yes, sir

You sissies, I can't hear you!

Yes, sir!

Seven

Stay still!

Ouch, my back

Stay still, or I'll break your arm

You get one more beating

Get into position!

Listen to what I said

and get into position!

What's the count?

I said what's the count?

Then I'll tell you

You're nineteen

One Two Three!

Hey, get up!

Get up!

Hey,

Hey! What's wrong with you?

It's about Joo-hee

I don't think she likes me

I gave her flowers and even kissed her

but there's no response

You kissed her?

Yeah

When the sun shines on the sea

I think of you

When the dim moonlight is on the spring I think of you

(Suein Academy)

- Hi! - See you later, bye!

Take this and go home

Stay out of the rain

Dummy

Do you want to get electrocuted?

You're crazy

I don't want to split up like this

Let's talk just for a moment

Nothing can change

There's no use in talking

Let go of me!

Here's your letter

I don't want it anymore

Why?

There's no response

and because of my conscience

I'll write it myself from now on

And tell her the truth

It's a golden opportunity

I heard she's very sick

from the rain

So she's in the hospital

She's very sick?

Because of the rain?

Yeah

I'm going to see her

If I visit her when she's sick

then I can score

I'll confess to her that I didn't write the letters

I won't tell her it was you

Actually, I'm not the type

to like one girl

but I really like her

Oh Joon-ha!

Oh Joon-ha!

-He's calling you -Yes?

Twenty four, twenty seven Thirty, thirty two...

I have to eat all this?

Look at this

Maw worms, intestinal worms

hookworms, roundworms...

You have everything

What the hell did you eat?

Because of you

our class has the most parasites

But sir it wasn't my manure

Then whose was it?

You're the only one

who'd have this many parasites,

Eat it now!

Yoon Tae-soo

Eat three

But it's the same manure

Yeah, but some spots have more parasites

and some don't

How'd you know I was here?

Why are you covering your face?

Stop it,

I haven't washed my face, and it's dirty

But you're still pretty

How'd you know I was here?

I heard from Tae-soo

Why are you laughing?

I heard you ate 32 worm-killing pills

Tae-soo, that bastard

has a big mouth

Did he say anything else?

After being silent for a while

that's all he said and left

- Really? - Yeah

He's so odd

- Are you very sick? - Yeah

I'm sorry

I must be really stupid

Besides liking you

I'm not good at anything else

No, there's a lot you're good at

Like getting drenched

and eating worm pills

Don't laugh

This is serious

I have to tell Tae-soo about us

Then we can clear our conscience

See you later

Is this her room?

My poor daughter-in-law!

How'd you get so drenched?

No, lie down

A cold can't be taken lightly

You can catch pneumonia

So, are you eating well?

You should eat well to recover

I'm sorry

This must be the wrong room

Wrong room

Clench your fists

Raise them like this

Now hit me

Why should I hit you?

Hurry and hit me!

I don't like hitting people or getting hit

Joo-hee and I have been seeing each other.

Actually, she gave me this necklace last summer.

Are you okay?

Damn it I've fallen again

Don't worry

And don't let my dad

see that necklace

He'll get furious

That necklace was a gift from my dad

To Joo-hee

Oh Joon-ha! It's your letter!

Later on, we went on school break

And I thought

I couldn't see her again

I miss you

I miss you so much I'll die

And I'm curious

how much our river has changed

Say hi to our haunted house

the shed, and our row boat

Say that I miss them

and that I'm doing okay

Yesterday, Tae-soo came to me

with your Uncle's address

He also confessed a shocking thing to me

That you were the one

who wrote the letters to me

How could you hide that from me?

Anyway, it's okay

I almost threw away those letters

but now I can read them again

and think of you

Tae-Soo also made a suggestion

made a suggestion.

That you put Tae-soo's name

on the letters you send me

Then my parents will think

that I'm exchanging letters with him

Look outside the window

If the branches swing gently in the wind

then the one you love is loving you, too

Right now it's snowing outside

When it first snows

they say you should

stroll with your beloved

But I'm just writing a letter

Joon-ha, I miss you so much

I'm going to get permission to go to Grandpa's house

If I do I'll send you a telegraph

Open your ears

If you hear your heartbeat

then the person you love

is loving you, too

Close your eyes

If there's a smile on your lips

then the person you love

is loving you, too

(Suwon Post Office)

I want to send a telegraph

Then please sign up here

Okay

But fate must not be on my side

One of my letters

was returned back to Tae-soo's home

Joo-hee is in love with Joon-ha

I'm not in love with Joo-hee

Both of them really love each other

So that's why I gave up

Two people in love should be together

It's okay with me

No, I love her, too

I won't give up

Are you mocking me?

You always want things your way!

So your parents mean nothing to you?

Do you know who she is?

She's a congressman's daughter!

Know what that means, you punk?

You deserve to die

You can't even hold on to a girl

(Received Mail Slip)

It was the end of a winter break?

I had hoped so much for

Know what this is?

A belt?

No, it's a whip

This bastard hits me

My dad doesn't want it to

but it keeps wanting to hit me

That's why I caught it

How should I punish it?

The death penalty

That's exactly what I thought

Kill it slowly and painfully?

Or starve it slowly to death?

Or give it sleeping pills?

Strangle it to death

Good idea

Joon-ha

Take good care of Joo-hee

How are we to fight to win?

What are we to do if the North invades us today?

We too will ready ourselves against

the provocations of the North,

and protect our families and our country.

Tae-soo!

Somebody help!

A person's dying!

Tae-soo, you bastard!

Tae-soo, you bastard!

Tae-soo, hold on! Hold on!

Someone help me!

Somebody's dying!

Tae-soo! Tae-soo!

I told you to kill the belt

not yourself

Tae-soo, wake up!

Open your eyes!

Don't die. Don't die

Don't die, you bastard!

Breathe! Breathe!

Breathe, you bastard!

Go inside

If you're with him

he'll wake up faster

Hurry

Wait here for me

Hurry and get well

(Victory! Fight to the Death)

Ji-hae, know what this is?

An umbrella?

A very special umbrella

They're all the same

It's special because

Sang-min gave it to me

He must know that I like him

Thought he wouldn't when you stare at him everyday?

Go give this to Sang-min

No, you give it to him

I'm not going there

Why not?

Did you and Soo-gyung fight?

Remember when it

suddenly rained that day?

Sang-min was drinking coffee here

He was looking out of the window

then suddenly turned to me and said

"Did you bring an umbrella?"

And then I said

"I was worried I didn't"

He placed his umbrella here

and said "You can have it"

He said he was okay to get wet

And then he ran off in the rain

Did you bring an umbrella?

You can have it.

It's raining a lot outside

Sang-min might be getting soaked without an umbrella

This is a really special umbrella

I'll give it back to him

Did you bring an umbrella?

Of course, I did

Really?

But still, take mine

Is she crazy?

You have an umbrella

but why are you so soaked?

It's not mine

I came to return it to you

You left it at the store

I'm not the only one who gets wet

even with an umbrella, am I?

Don't go

You already know...

my feelings

Now, you know it all

Yeah, when I saw you run

without an umbrella

I left my umbrella behind

Even on the day of the play

I wanted to give you a present

so I bought Soo-gyung's, too

And if fate was on my side

I thought you'd pick

the gift with the card in it

I thought we'd grow distant

if I confessed my feelings

I wanted to say that I liked you,

but I couldn't

I'll come see the play

Look

I cut my wrists

I saw it all

Both of you whispering love

Do you really love her?

Is it really so?

I'm working out my feelings

My eyes were looking straight

but my heart was confused

Can I trust those words?

Can I think of it as a promise?

Yes

There's only one that I love

That one is me, right?

Yes, I love you

I swear that I love you

I love you, too

Sang-min I love you so much

Sang-min!

What the hell are you doing?

I didn't even finish my lines

and then you call out my name?

You can’t just change your lines like that

You ruined everything!

Sang-min, I wasn't acting

it was my true feelings

I love you

Love is more important than a play

After the play

Sang-min and I went on a date

We decided to go to the river

where my mother's memories lay

Joo-hee?

No, I'm her daughter

My name is Ji-hae

Is that so?

I must've made a mistake

But you look so much like your mom

I delivered a lot of your mom's letters

Thank you, sir

I know well what happened to

my parents afterwards

Students and citizens!

This is illegal demonstrations!

Eliminate corruption and establish a new state! A new state!

Down with dictatorship and the military regime!

Down with the regime! Down with dictatorship!

If you wipe on toothpaste

your eyes will hurt less

Joo-hee?

Tae-soo?

Put on toothpaste

It's been a long time

It has

Have you heard from Joon-ha?

(SUWON)

Hey!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha come back alive!

Joon-ah!

You have to come back alive!

Joon-ha answer me!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha... You have to come back alive!

Joon Ha!

Joon-ha You have to come back alive!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joo-hee!

- Joon-ha! - Joo-hee!

- Joo-hee! -Tae-soo!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

Joon-ha!

You have to come back alive!

- Joon-ha! - You better!

Joon-ha come back alive!

You have to come back alive!

Corporal Oh!

Fire!

Medic! Medic!

Hold on! Hold on!

Breathe! Breathe!

Stop it! He's dead!

Retreat!

Get moving, you bastard!

He's already dead!

Everyone come together!

Corporal Oh!

Joon-ha, you bastard!

Where are you going?

Come back!

Corporal Oh!

Listen up! Evacuate!

...be advised, be advised...

We are taking off...

You haven't changed at all

Just like in the past

you're still pretty

I've aged a lot

You had it hard, huh?

Not really

How's Tae-soo doing?

I guess he's doing alright

Why didn't you get married?

Well, I did

I heard

I had so much to tell you

But now that we've met

I can't remember

It's a piano doll

We have one at my home, too

When I look at it

it reminds me of you playing the piano

It looks so much like you back then

Doesn't it?

We were so innocent back then

But the past has gone now

I think our feelings took the best of us

We cried and laughed at the smallest things

How do I look right now?

You look healthy

But I'd like to see you look happier

I'm crying right now

Can't you see my tears?

Why did you hide that you couldn't see?

It's late

Sorry, I have an appointment

I have to go

I'm sorry

It was almost perfect

I could've succeeded

I even came here

last night to practice

You almost fooled me

You did a good job

I nearly believed you

Also...

I risked my life to return

this necklace to you

Please don't

This necklace is yours

Afterwards, mom and dad got married

And I was born three years later

Then a few years later...

Mrs. Sung Joo-hee?

Joon-ha's last wish

was for you to spread his dust in this river

Actually Joon-ha got married right

after you did

Poor guy had a son, too

And Joon-ha

wanted you to have this

Mommy, it's a rainbow

I still remember clearly

the rainbow I saw that day

Open your hands
