Original subtitles

Are you awake?

Yes.

I must’ve fallen asleep.

What are you doing?

I thought you should have something warm.

I think someone is here.

Yes.

I told you that you didn’t need to come.

Hey, Ji-eun!

Come out. Let’s go.

Come out now!

I think I should go.

I’m sorry for bothering you.

Goodbye.

Let's go.

Ji-eun.

I knew you were unpredictable,

but you've taken it too far!

How could you fall asleep there?

Are you crazy?

Have you lost your mind?

Ji-eun.

Ji-eun, are you listening to me?

Ji-eun!

Han Ji-eun.

I’m sorry.

It was my fault.

Please don’t be sick.

Your fever has gone down.

Oh, it looks like I won, Mom.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Do you see? Goodness.

Your score is below average.

Honey, you owe me 1,000 won and Mother, you owe me 4,000 won.

You are really good at this.

But aren’t you going to the hospital?

Then, should we stop playing?

Should I ask Three Bears to come over and help with the gardening?

Hello.

It’s so hot today. Did you have trouble getting here?

No, it was okay.

We don’t live that far from them.

They could come here if they wanted.

Yes, I’m sorry.

But why aren’t you eating very much?

Don’t you like it?

No, it’s delicious.

Now that I’m looking at you, you don’t look well.

Ji-eun, are you sick?

No, I’m fine.

-You really don’t look so well. -Why?

Are you sick? Are you not feeling well?

No, I think I caught a cold. I feel much better now.

I’m really okay.

Just stay still.

How is she, Dr. Kim?

It’s nothing serious,

just symptoms of a cold.

Yes, I’m okay.

So, there’s no news?

Not yet.

Jeez.

Well, I thought there was a chance.

What kind of news?

Nevertheless, we might as well get her some tonic since we’re already here.

Would you like that?

Yes, please put something together to make her stronger

and to help her get pregnant.

Pardon?

Are you finished for the day?

Yes, I’m done.

Ta-da.

What is that?

Well.

I have two free concert tickets.

You can go, right?

Today?

Yes.

But...

Ji-eun is quite sick.

Really?

Where is she sick? Is it serious?

No, she just caught a cold.

I'm sorry. I should head back early today.

No, it’s okay. Well, you should hurry up and get home.

What are you doing?

We should hurry.

Ji-eun is suffering at home.

Okay. I’m coming.

-I should get going. -Yeah, okay, bye.

Ji-eun.

Ji-eun.

Hey, are you all right?

Why didn’t you eat the porridge?

If you don’t eat that, how are you going to take your medicine?

Do want a little now? Do you want me to heat it up?

I don’t need it, I’m not eating it.

Why don’t you want to eat?

It’s none of your business whether I eat or not.

Hey! Are you staging a hunger strike?

Who told you to stay out in the rain?

And if starts raining, you should have taken shelter somewhere.

Hey!

Hey, even chickens know to get back home when it gets dark or if it rains.

And you are the stupidest chickens among them.

A stupid chicken.

Three bears live together in one house

Daddy bear, mommy bear

Baby bear

Daddy bear is fat

-Mommy bear is slim -Oh, gosh.

And the baby bear is so cute

They are so good together

You look so dumb.

Is it funny?

Do another version.

Another version?

Okay, I'll do the American version.

Three bears live in one home

Daddy bear, mommy bear, baby bear

Father bear is very fat

Mother bear is slim

Very slim

And the baby bear is such a cutie

They are so good together

What are you staring at? Haven’t you seen me eat before?

You should’ve eaten like that before

Why were you being so stubborn?

Here take this, too.

Did you get that from Ilsan?

Yes.

Have it before it gets cold.

There is one for you, too.

I’m okay. I don’t need it. Just go ahead and have yours.

I don’t need it, either.

No, you have to drink yours.

You know how scary my grandmother can get, don’t you?

Hurry up and drink it. You have to.

Well, I can’t throw it away. I guess I don’t have a choice.

Have yours too, Yeong-jae.

Your family sent it because they care about you.

Okay, I’ll have mine later. You have yours before it gets cold.

Is it bitter? You want some candy?

No, the candy might take away its effect.

Drink up.

Oh, I feel hot.

Hey, what are you doing?

Yeong-jae.

You look especially good today.

What?

Yeong-jae, come here.

Hey, what’s wrong with you? Don’t be like this!

What are you talking about? Don’t be like what?

Are you afraid I’m going to eat you up?

Don’t be like that and come here.

Hey, don’t come any closer. I’m going to scream if you do!

Well, why don’t you? There’s no one here to help you.

-Come here. -Han Ji-eun.

-Please Ji-eun, don’t be like this. -Come here.

Please be reasonable.

Reasonable?

You’re telling a chicken to be reasonable?

Birds don't have reasons, they only have instinct.

Only instinct.

So, just come here. Hurry up.

No! Please, don’t!

Stop!

Oh, my goodness.

Hey.

What’s so funny?

You don’t need to know.

See you later.

Okay.

Hey, Ji-eun.

Yes?

From now on,

I’ll call you if I’m going to be late.

I’m not used

to have someone wait for me.

So I’m not used to calling...

or explaining why I’m going to be late.

It's all so difficult to me.

But from now on,

I’ll call and tell you

why I’m going to be late.

And...

And you do mean something to me.

I mean it.

See you later.

I’ll see you later.

"You do mean something to me."

He’s making me confused again.

Who is it?

Hi, Ji-eun.

What? What did you say?

It just came out. I didn’t mean to.

I’m so sorry my dear friend.

So, how much...

did you tell him?

Just that you married Yeong-jae because of this house.

And what else!

I sort of mentioned the contract marriage.

What? You told him about that too?

No, well, I’m not sure.

I can’t remember.

Hey!

Do you know what will happen if Yeong-jae finds out?

I’ll lose my house and get kicked out.

You guys drive me crazy!

I’m so sorry

but it’s all my fault.

Please, don’t hurt Dong-uk, okay?

If Dong-uk goes to jail, what will happen to me and our baby?

Please, my friend.

Jeez.

Hello?

Yes, Ji-eun.

Hello.

I’d like to see you if you have time.

Yes.

You have time today?

Yes, that’s okay,

I’ll see you soon.

Okay.

If something goes wrong,

just know that Dong-uk’s going straight to jail.

It’s really good.

Really? Oh, that’s a relief.

Yes, it was worth the wait.

Right?

But...

You know that time you came to my house.

You gave my friend a ride, right?

Yes.

Did she perhaps say anything weird?

Something weird?

What kind of weird thing?

No, it’s just...

No, it’s nothing.

So, how do people date these days?

Pardon?

We went to the movies,

and we had dinner.

What else do they usually do other than those?

Thank you.

Was it a boring date?

No, not at all.

It was fun.

Were you bored?

No, it was fun for me, too.

I love eating from the street vendors and walking around and looking at things.

But I can’t do these things with Yeong-jae.

He can’t go anywhere, so he’s either at the office or at home.

And do you know what we have to do to see a movie?

We have to walk in after the movie starts and leave before it ends.

Or else people will notice.

Anyway, this is the first time a man has bought me flowers.

It feels really good.

Yeong-jae has never bought you flowers?

Oh, no. I don’t even expect it from him.

I just wish he would stop treating me like a bird.

Well.

Anyway, these flowers have made my day.

I’m happy that you’re happy.

To be honest,

I knew Yeong-jae didn’t marry you because he loved you.

Pardon?

That’s why I always felt so bad for you.

Well...

I think...

I think you’ve misunderstood.

-I think... -Do you know the expression, “what if?”

I hate those words more than anything.

I don’t think there’s a need to look back

and regret things that have already happened.

I’ve thought a lot about those words since meeting you.

What if...

I had the first opportunity.

What if...

you had met me first.

What if you hadn’t married Yeong-jae.

Pardon?

If...

I had another chance,

I told myself I wouldn’t lose that chance.

That’s what I told myself.

Since your marriage is nothing but a contract,

then it’s not too late for me, is it?

Will you give me a chance?

I...

I think...

Please don’t answer me now.

Think about it first and...

tell me your answer later.

The reviews for the movie are not that good.

It’s not doing as well as we expected at the box offices, either.

I’m hoping more people will watch it by word of mouth.

Let heaven take care of it.

We need to be more careful about the next movie we choose.

CONFERENCE ROOM

But, did Min-hyuk really not say anything?

What are you talking about?

Oh, nothing.

Maybe, he really didn’t pick up on it.

Now, I’m safe.

Hey.

Something’s going on, isn’t it?

You got yourself into something again, didn’t you?

Hey!

What is wrong with you two?

Why do you do that?

Hui-jin didn't do it on purpose.

It was just a mistake.

Fortunately, he didn’t pick up on it.

So, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

Don’t worry?

How can I not worry? Damn it.

Even if he did pick up on it,

what’s there to worry about?

All you need to do is tear up the contract and say you won’t get a divorce.

You can just keep her by your side.

What? You really have some nerve!

How can every idea that comes out of your head be about conning?

Then what will happen to Ji-eun?

Are you really her friend?

I’m saying this because Ji-eun’s my friend,

and you are like an older brother to me.

You can’t let Min-hyuk take her from you.

You’re not an idiot. Why would you let him take your woman?

What?

So, please spare me this once.

Yeong-jae, I don’t want to go to jail!

Oh, please.

-Hey, let go! -Oh, please.

Since your marriage is nothing but a contract,

then...

it’s not too late for me, is it?

Will you give me a chance?

Are you just getting home?

Yes.

Hey,

where did you get the flowers?

Yes?

The flowers...

Someone gave them to me.

Who gave you flowers?

Did Min-hyuk buy you those flowers?

What?

No. Well, It’s...

Did you see him again?

Yes, I met him earlier this afternoon for a while.

Why did you see him again? What for?

I just had something to ask him.

I was curious about something, so I met him.

What were you curious about?

What do you have to ask him?

It’s...

I didn’t see you as being like that. You really are something.

Are you having an affair?

What?

And are you a beggar? Why are you accepting things like that?

What did you say?

So, what did he say when he gave them to you?

Did he want to keep seeing you?

Why do you care?

Have you ever bought me any flowers before?

Do you think I’m crazy? Why would I buy you flowers?

That’s right, you’re not even going to buy me flowers, so why do you care?

It’s not that I care,

it’s just that you’re going around acting stupid.

So, what is it to you?

We’ve already gotten married by contract and we only have a few months left, right?

What?

So, let’s try to respect each other’s privacy during the rest of the time.

You can see Hye-won as much as you want,

I’ll do as I please, too.

You really--

Ji-eun,

will you take

interest in me?

Look at the condition of this room.

Where did she put that contract?

Wait a minute, I’m coming.

Hello?

Hui-jin?

What?

Why are you calling?

What are you so curious about?

Yes, I saw him.

What do you mean, "What happened?"

What do you mean, "Maybe he didn’t get the hint."

Anyway, you guys are driving me crazy.

Listen, my head feels like it’s going to explode,

so I’ll talk to you later. Bye.

What’s wrong with this?

Why won’t it open? That’s so strange.

Why is she so strong?

What's wrong with it.

Gosh!

What are you doing here?

Oh, yes!

I’m playing hide and seek!

Get out, you’re such a pervert!

What are you doing? Get out!

I understand.

I know it’s not because you wanted to.

It’s all because of this medicine.

No, that’s not it...

I told you, I understand.

That’s why you shouldn’t take this anymore. I’ll drink both.

I think it’s really making you weird.

Look, Ji-eun,

let’s make a new contract.

What?

I think we made the contract too lightly without thinking much about it.

For example, we weren’t clear on not invading each other’s privacy.

We don’t know what that entails.

How many times did we fight because of that.

Also, we said that if we tell a third party about the contract,

that it would automatically be terminated.

Dong-uk and Hui-jin found out about it by accident.

So, there are a lot of things that could happen that we didn’t expect, right?

That’s true.

So, let’s make a new contract.

And we’ll include all the details that we each want.

You start by telling me what you want.

Here you are.

Hey, why are there so many things? How many pages are there?

If we’re going to do it, it may as well be detailed.

"Number one, no physical relationship."

I put that as number one because of the recent incident.

Don’t take it personally.

Hey, even if they brought truckloads of girls like you, I wouldn’t take them.

You’re not my style. I don’t like short girls like you.

CONTRACT

"Number two.

If we go out, we tell each other who we’re seeing and where we’re going.

Number three.

If we’re going to be late,

we tell each other in advance the reason and the time of return.

Number four.

If we sleep somewhere other than home, the penalty is one million won."

What? One million won?

What? You don’t like it?

No, I’m okay with that.

You spend more nights out than me.

You’ll be in trouble if you tell me later you can’t pay the fine.

"Number five.

If Ji-eun gets too busy to do the cleaning, laundry, and dishes,

Yeong-jae will do it instead."

What?

If we’re busy, we should help each other, shouldn’t we? Let’s care for each other.

Is this a joke? What do you have to be busy with?

What do you mean more caring?

You’re not even a human. You’re a bird, more like a chicken.

CONTRACT

Oh, here it is.

"You will not call Ji-eun a bird, a chicken,

a rice cooker, or a vacuum cleaner."

You can see it at number 15!

Then, what do I call you?

What do you mean? Call me by my name.

That’s unacceptable. I won't.

The name you call a person represents that person’s identity.

Your identity is a bird. Why don’t you accept that truth?

Why can’t you accept the fact that you’re a chicken?

Then is your identity a rude idiot?

What?

Let’s go back to number six.

"Number six.

We will ask each other for permission when meeting a person of the opposite sex."

This is not to interfere in each other’s business.

It’s only because everyone believes we are married.

So we should let each other know in order to avoid trouble later.

"Number seven.

There is no complaining about the food. Just eat what is served."

Okay, you don’t need to read all of it.

I’ll do my best to accept all your demands.

What? Really?

However, these are my terms.

Here.

This contract shall not go over three years.

What? Three years?

I accepted all your terms, so you should accept my one and only demand.

There’s no way.

These are the prime years of my life.

Think about it.

What will other people think if we get divorced in six months?

That, I don’t know.

Regardless of what they may say, three years doesn’t make any sense.

All right you can think of it that way.

What will my parents and my grandmother think?

My parents will be so disappointed.

My grandma might faint due to her high blood pressure. What will you do then?

Will you take responsibility?

CONTRACT HAN JI-EUN, LEE YEONG-JAE

Bring me the old contract, so I can tear it up.

Okay.

CONTRACT

Has it been in the refrigerator?

Yes.

Okay, I’m tearing

this six-month contract.

CONTRACT

You made the right decision.

I...

I love your parents

and grandmother very much.

When your father tenderly calls my name...

and worries about me.

The way your mother puts aside all the good food for me.

She kindly teaches me things I don’t know.

The way your grandmother pretends to get mad at me,

all the while letting me know how much she cares about me.

I am

grateful for all their love.

When we get divorced

in three years,

it’ll be even harder

to leave them.

CONTRACT

Breakfast is ready. Have a seat.

Hey, what is this?

It’s your breakfast.

Remember, you agreed to eat toast three days a week?

When did I agree with that?

Look at the contract. It’s number 21.

We will have toast three times a week.

That’s in the contract, too?

Yes

And you do know that you’re doing the dishes after we’re done, right?

What? Even the dishes?

Yes, number 22, you do the dishes on days we have toast.

There’s not that much, it’s just those dishes and the glasses.

CONTRACT

Hey, Ji-eun, what is this? You’re totally taking advantage of me.

That’s why you should’ve read it carefully before you signed it.

Damn it.

-Hey, why do you keep putting it there? -Yes?

What? I put it over there.

Are you going to pay for the water bill? Turn it off.

I’m going.

-Are you going now? -Yes.

Oh, don’t forget to buy roses on your way home.

Roses? What for?

You agreed to buy me roses every second and fourth Wednesday.

It’s in the contract.

That’s in the contract, too?

Yes, you can find it on number 105.

That’s why you should’ve read it carefully before you signed it.

I'll get going.

See you later.

Isn’t it too late for a press conference?

You should’ve done it earlier. It could’ve been a way to advertise your movie.

The interview is not only about advertising the movie.

By the way,

did you enjoy the concert?

Yes?

I did.

I’m sorry,

I promise I’ll go next time.

Sure, we can do that.

Anyway, where is your bodyguard?

I thought I saw him with you. I don’t see him now.

What?

Your road manager.

That’s true. I’ve got to get going.

Where did he go?

Well, nothing’s happened so far. Maybe Min-hyuk didn’t figure it out.

If he really knew that Ji-eun and Yeong-jae had a marriage contract,

do you think he would’ve stayed quiet?

That’s right, so don’t worry.

Now, the only thing we have to do is to be careful of what we say.

So, don’t worry. Okay, I’ve got to go.

I love you, too.

Who is it?

Hi, how are you?

Good.

How are you?

I’m sorry I didn’t call first.

No... it’s okay.

Come in.

I was going to ask Yeong-jae,

but I wanted to ask you first.

Yes?

About what?

About...

your marriage contract.

Maybe it is a little early to judge,

but it seems the movie isn’t doing so well at the box office.

How do you feel about your first movie flop?

I would love it if every one of my movies were successful.

I don’t consider it a failure

because it wasn't successful.

And that’s because there are more movies to be made.

I hope you'll look forward to the next one.

Then have you chosen your next project?

I can’t tell you the details yet,

but I have plans to do another movie within this year with a great director.

You recently got married.

How is married life?

There have been reports that your marriage has been troubled.

That isn’t true.

I’m very happy.

I believe I am truly lucky to have met such a wonderful woman.

I thought it was strange that he suddenly got married.

But I

believed it was because he loved you a lot.

I don’t know.

Why did he suddenly marry you by contract?

What was the reason?

Why did he marry you like that?

I don’t know the reason,

I’m not sure, either.

You should ask Yeong-jae later.

I didn’t think he would tell me.

That’s why I’m asking you.

To tell you the truth,

I didn’t like you.

Even while I loved someone else,

the fact that he wasn’t next to me.

The fact that he was with you...

was unbearable.

I always believed he would protect me.

I thought of him as a good friend that would run to my side

whenever I called for him.

Suddenly after losing him,

I realized

how much I needed him

and leaned on him.

But...

To ask him to be there for you while you loved someone else

was so unfair for Yeong-jae.

I know.

I was too selfish.

But now,

it’s only going to be him.

I want him back.

Please help me.

Help me, Ji-eun.

Yeong-jae is...

Yeong-jae

loves you very much.

That’s the reason why he married me.

I shouldn’t have told her.

I shouldn’t have said anything.

I shouldn’t have told her.

Hi, Hye-won.

Hello?

Yeong-jae,

where are you?

I’m at a bar.

No, I’m not drinking.

I’m going to see Hye-won,

so have dinner without me.

I might be late so don’t wait up.

Okay.

Hey.

Don’t sleep at your desk. Sleep in your room.

Be sure to do that.

Okay, bye.

Yeong-jae,

don’t see Hye-won and just come home.

Just...

come home.

Yeong-jae,

when we were nine or ten years old,

there was a boy named Yong-jun. Do you remember him?

You know, he had a perm.

He was good at fighting and always so mean.

Oh, Cabbage?

That’s right, his nickname was Cabbage.

I remember now.

Back then,

you cried because he took your eraser.

And I had a fist fight with him to get the eraser back for you.

You were small and not tall like you are now.

You didn’t even fight well.

You got a good beating from him.

Min-hyuk came later and beat him up, and he got your eraser back.

That’s right.

I thought it was Min-hyuk who had protected me.

Now that I think about it,

even then it was you who protected me.

Right?

You were

always there next to me.

I didn’t realize that.

Thanks for always

being there.

Yeong-jae,

I...

I want to go to you.

Will you accept me?

Ji-eun, what are you doing over there?

Hi.

Are you just getting in?

I told you not to wait for me and just sleep.

Are you sure you don’t sleepwalk?

Or maybe your room is haunted.

Here.

Number 105.

You know

the last time I met Min-hyuk?

The day I got flowers from him.

So, what about that day?

We had spaghetti and walked around.

We even went to the park together.

Really? It sounds so boring.

It wasn’t boring at all. It was fun.

I like walking around and buying goods from the vendors and just hanging out.

Really?

Well, I’m not surprised.

He also told me that

he knew all along.

You didn’t marry me because you loved me.

He knew it all along.

That's why he felt sorry for me whenever he saw me.

He also said

that he hated the expression “what if.”

But that he thought of that expression very often since he met me.

What if...

he had the first opportunity.

What if...

I had met him first.

What if

I hadn’t married you.

He asked that I give him a chance,

if our marriage was based on nothing but a contract.

What?

So?

So what did you say?

He asked me to think about it first

and to answer him later,

so I told him I would do that.

What shall I...

tell him?

Shall I tell him okay?

Or shall I tell him no?

It’s just because of number six in our contract...

We agreed to get permission first before meeting a person of the opposite sex.

Yeong-jae,

may...

I...

love him?

OUR LOVELY MEMORY
