Original subtitles

You can eat a whole portion?

- Sure! You bet we can! - Yes, we can.

Two portions of shrimp then.

Two shrimps, one sweet-and-sour pork,

three noodles.

- What an appetite... - They love shrimps.

You don't want any noodles?

No. We'll see later.

- Don't smoke. - I'm not smoking.

You came to see his film.

You were close to him, weren't you?

At university, yes. But I'd stopped seeing him.

You have things in common.

Such as?

You act cool, you love women.

Your film would have been in the same vein, right? Come on...

In any case, I've never eaten a beef rib

as good as the one at your place.

A beef rib?

- Yes... That was years ago! - You remember that?

It's kind of you to remember.

It was really good.

The meat melted in your mouth.

Do you remember how many times you complimented your wife?

Complimented my wife?

You did that?

Six times. I remember counting.

You complimented her six times.

You remember such odd things!

I'd never heard anyone make compliments about food.

Mom, I think I have a fever. I feel cold.

Really? Let me see.

You're hot.

Perhaps it's indigestion. Do you feel cold?

What's wrong?

She says she feels cold. Let's go home.

Come here.

There's no need.

She's cold. Feel better?

Yes.

Thank you. Where are you going? I'm going home before the meeting.

Want a ride?

I haven't made my mind up yet.

Get in. I'll drop you off somewhere.

- It's at six? - Yes. Come. They'll all be there.

I like the color of your car.

Get in, it's cold.

Thanks.

- How do you feel? - It hurts.

We'll soon be home.

Can I smoke?

Wait a bit. Because of the children.

All right.

Can you drop me here?

- Here? Why? - No reason. I have to...

- Let me out here. - All right.

Thank you.

I'd let you keep it,

but my mother bought it for me.

Sorry.

Bye.

It was good to see you.

Okay. Close the door. Hurry!

I'll close the door.

It's visible all over the city.

You're beautiful! Hurry, hurry. Just a second, please.

- What's your name? - Kanghi.

- Kanghi? - Yes.

You're really beautiful!

- Really! - Thank you.

We're big fans! Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hello.

Hello.

Are you on a pilgrimage?

I'm sorry? What do you mean? Do we know each other?

Who doesn't know Choe Yongsil? I admire you.

I'm not a star. Thank you anyway.

We just saw the same film. Are you returning to the locations?

You're so classy!

What makes you say that?

I went to the same film school as the director.

He spoke about you. I know things about you.

I could even have gone on the set.

- Are you going to Namsan next? - To Namsan?

No.

Talking of Namsan, is that where

his classmates are meeting?

Will you be there? Why?

I've been asked to contribute to the collection.

I'd like to go, but I may not be able to.

I understand.

What about you?

I ought to go, but... not everyone there likes me.

I see. Are you a director too?

Yes, how did you know?

You were at the same school.

Be in my film when I shoot it.

I'm serious.

If you were to accept, that would be a big help.

Why not? Send me the screenplay.

All right.

Can I have your address?

I'm not sure. I don't know you.

If I see you this evening, perhaps... I prefer that.

If you want. Let's shake hands.

All right. Like in the film?

We shall not leave in the loved one's heart nothing but light memories

Now I know A love that is too deep

Comes to an unhappy end I shall pray, my love

- Here you are! - It's been ages.

Hello.

- Sit down here. - Thanks.

It's really been ages!

You're late!

I walked from the top of the hill.

Really? Why?

No reason. I've lost my wallet. I'm broke.

What about your credit card?

I'm beyond my credit limit.

You'll never change.

Sorry about earlier. You understand, it's a gift from my mother.

I didn't know if we'd meet again.

That's all right. Forget it.

Vice-chairman, how much must we donate?

I've lost my wallet, I'm a bit short.

Give what you can. Go ahead. Whatever you can spare.

- Here. It's not much. - Thank you.

Do you still drink as much?

No, I don't drink anymore. I have to think of my health.

I'm getting older. I met some people up there,

but I didn't drink.

You're right, you're no spring chicken. But you're looking better.

I don't like drinking anymore.

Have a glass anyway.

Thank you.

Don't get drunk, please.

What's your problem? What's the matter?

- It's been ages, hasn't it? - Stop it!

Muscular. Do you work out? You're muscular.

Tongsu! If you plan to get drunk, say so. Understand?

I understand.

- I think I've walked too much. - Have some meat.

Thank you.

It looks good.

Enjoy it.

Miss Choe Yongsil! Good evening. You're so beautiful!

Good evening.

How do you do?

- What do you want me to sing? - "If I loved again.", please

My name is Choe Yongsil. I'm an actress.

Your older colleague Yi Hyongsu... Some here are the same age...

He allowed me to make my film debut.

I haven't seen him for a long time.

It's his fault as much as mine.

But, at this moment in time,

I feel as if it's my fault.

Mr. Yi, I'm really, really sorry.

We shall make no promises Even if we part

We'll be able to move away from each other Without too much pain

We shall not leave In the loved one's heart Nothing but light memories easy to cast aside

Now I know A love that is too deep

Comes to an unhappy end I shall pray, my love

For my next love to be different from ours and so know no suffering

We're all fans of yours.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

Would you do a commercial for me?

I'd be delighted.

- Wonderful! It's been a pleasure. - For me too.

Don't look down on serials.

I don't look down on anything.

Go back inside.

- Take care. - Goodbye.

Where are you going?

You scared me. Where have you been?

No reason to be scared. I was the one who chose the song.

I know.

Where are you going?

Me?

I'm going to Kyonghi University Hospital. To see Yi.

I see.

Can you visit this late?

I don't know.

I'll see. They're saying it's serious.

I must go too. Shall I come with you?

I'm going alone.

- Stay with your friends. - That's not important.

What's the matter? You're a strange guy.

Is it tough being an actress? Can I tell you about my ideal?

No. The taxi is here. Go back in.

I didn't know you had a limp.

What? You didn't?

Don't talk rubbish! Has she left?

She's really pretty.

- She's a good actress. Too bad. - What?

Nobody offers her anything since her accident.

What accident?

She had a friend. An artist.

When she tried to leave him, he attacked her.

Is that true?

She's covered with scars.

She's had several operations in the USA.

But she still has some,

especially in intimate places.

Really?

What places?

How should I know?

In certain places... Intimate places.

Give me a cigarette.

You never noticed I limped?

I find you everywhere I go!

Yes. I'm broke. I've lost my wallet.

That's a nuisance.

I have some cigarettes left and enough for the subway.

Do you want me to lend you some money?

That would be kind.

No, forget it.

Actually, my heart has a problem.

Buy me a drink instead.

Your heart has a problem?

Yes. Yongsil... you look like an angel...

You're laughing?

You're saying that because of that angel statue.

No, you're my feminine ideal.

You're repeating yourself. It made me cry.

You can tell, can't you?

Yes, I can. I'd like to smoke a cigarette.

Come with me, then.

It seems that Yi's condition is serious.

What can we do?

Did the doctor tell you?

Yes, the one treating him. It's what he implies.

Today's dawn could be his last.

I feel so sorry for him.

Today's dawn?

Come over here to smoke a cigarette.

Well, all right.

Why did you keep your name in the film?

Was it Yi's idea?

For a short film, it didn't matter.

Really?

Yi himself performed in the film.

While we were shooting it, everyone had a good time.

Were you dating each other?

No...

He's the one who gave me my start.

I'm grateful to him for that.

Thanks to that, I've appeared in some quality productions.

Yeah

I was shooting my second film,

when he called me. And... he said... I had made a lot of money.

That I had succeeded thanks to him. He was asking me for money.

It's tough being an actress!

He was preying on your pity. How much did he want?

He talked about a loan but wanted me to give it to him.

20 million wons.

That's what he wanted. I hesitated for a few days.

He called me back, we saw each other. He apologized, in tears.

He was really crying. He said he had been drinking.

All the same, I never felt like seeing him again.

I see.

I have to tell you...

That film tells my story.

I had told it to him as a secret.

I can't forgive him for having made it public.

I was shocked. It was your story? What part? All of it?

All of it. Going to a hotel to die.

Sharing out the pills one by one. I told him everything.

Even the snow before the suicide, the Marlboro reds

that I couldn't find. All that.

I like the bit with the Marlboros. You told him all that!

Not exactly,

but, back then, he saw me smoking them all the time.

Really?

When you're part of a filmmaker's entourage, you tend to think like that.

As soon as you spot a coincidence, you think it's because of you.

We all think the world revolves around us.

But does all that really matter now?

Does it matter?

Tongsu.

I was just telling you all that.

What are we going to do?

We've had too much to drink.

Do you really bear a grudge against Yi?

He was a big influence on me.

He did everything I'd have liked to do.

I was jealous. He was excessively proud,

although he had no reason to be. I'm as good as him.

He acted like my mentor and wanted me

to recognize him as such. No way! I didn't like that.

Don't get angry. Don't hate him.

He's dying.

So are we.

You're exaggerating. I don't like that.

All right.

I'm too fond of drinking. Life is too tough. It's too...

Sorry.

I love you.

Do you mean it?

You're talking rubbish.

- You're forgetting your change. - Yes.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

- That was delicious. Thank you. - You're welcome...

Wrap up warmly.

I'm drunk.

Be careful. Are you okay?

I don't feel good.

I'm sorry, it's my fault.

How dare you touch me?

It will be all right...

You're hurting me.

There's nothing special about an actress, you know.

She's a woman like any other.

I know. I love you.

- Is that true? - That's good.

I love you so much.

Is that true? You like it?

Yes.

I'd like to come. I'd really like to come.

I love you.

Make me come.

- No... stop it. - I'm sorry?

Stop it.

I love you.

Stop it. Stop it.

Stop it.

What? Why are you looking at me?

No reason. You don't have any scars.

Scars?

I was told you had scars.

Who told you that? I have scars?

I can't tell you. Wait.

Wait.

Something wrong?

Why are you leaving? What have I done?

Nothing. You haven't done anything. Why?

No reason.

What if we died?

If you want, before dying, we could live another six months!

We'd love each other intensely.

Enough.

Are you going to stay? I'm leaving.

Don't go.

I'd like to rest a little longer.

I have to leave. I need to go somewhere.

But will you come back?

Come back. Please.

I'll see. Go on, sleep.

Excuse me, but...

Leave me something that I can keep.

Something...?

I don't think you really understood the film.

Did you sleep well?

I didn't sleep. I'm coming to see the patient.

It's true... You didn't know I was here.

Did you spend the night here?

Yes. His condition has improved. The crisis is over.

Really? That's good.

But it could start again.

I have to go. Go on!

- Wait! - What?

You must be tired, but give me a second.

I'm worn out. I haven't slept.

You had a good time, so that's enough now!

Go home. Rest.

It'll be all right. What can I do?

Tell me, how are you?

How... What are you doing here?

It's tough. It hurts too much. I think I'm going to die.

It'll be all right. What can I do?

I don't want to die. I really don't.

It hurts. I don't want to die. I really don't.

Don't say that! Don't say that! You're not going to die, trust me.

I'm sorry, it's my fault.

Don't die!

Tongsu, I don't want to die. I want to live.

I want to live. I don't want to die.

Don't.

You're not going to die, trust me.

I need to think now, Thinking is necessary,

With thought, I can sort everything out,

And even stop smoking, I have to think,

To get out of all this,

To live a long time,
