Sad Movie

This year, 32 public libraries are scheduled to open in Seoul.

The city announced this as part of a plan to introduce 48 libraries,

First, let's have a meeting regarding the design.

When are you available?

And now, Hong has a report on today's weather.

When you go out today, be sure to take an umbrella.

We are expecting showers later.

The rain should cool down this unseasonably early heat.

After the showers pass...

[Soo-jeong] It'll rain today.

Hwi-chan!

NO ENTRY Except Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!

Help me out. If this keeps up, our son will be uncontrollable.

Because it keeps getting more serious!

How can you be so laid back about this?

He's your son too, isn't he?

All you do is accuse me of being overbearing.

Oh, whatever!

It's because you never seem to care about anything.

Okay. I have an incoming call. Let's talk at home.

Yes, Ms. Kim. How are you?

This is Hwi-chan's picture diary. Take a look.

These days especially,

he seems to have many complaints about you.

I'm aware that much of what he writes are lies, but...

- I need to see my son. - But, he's in another class now.

Maybe later, you should talk in a quieter environment.

Please sit down.

I need to go. I'm sorry.

Ms. Eom!

What is this money for?

Here is today's weather forecast.

Heavy clouds and showers are expected tonight.

How was it? Was it okay?

Too slow.

It'll be night and raining by the time you finish.

And smile, won't you?

Good, good.

Su-eun!

Let's do it again.

I can't hear you.

Once more, please? I'm your only sister!

So you're clumsy, aren't you?

You're a lousy artist, but your face is well-drawn.

I didn't know we had such a cutie in our park.

Oh? This...

How did you know it was mine?

Is there any other artist around here, dummy?

It's all smudged.

Tell me it's a very important painting for you...

You could've just thrown it out. But thanks anyway.

Damn! You punk!

I was going to be generous since you're cute, but...

Well, I'll let you off this time Today is your lucky day.

Bye, bye, see ya!

Is this enough for my sister-in-law's birthday?

- Sister-in-law? - Yeah.

- Who? - Su-eun.

Since when has my sister been your sister-in-law?

We're not even married.

You who don't even have to propose...

Su-eun told me to call her that.

You're on your period aren't you?

Should I cook seaweed soup for her birthday? I'm good at it.

You fry up the beef, add a dash of sesame oil,

you boil it with soaked seaweed... fantastic!

She'll like it. What do you think?

Let's rest a bit.

It's hard on you, isn't it?

Of course. You make me carry these heavy bags.

Not that!

Then what?

Don't you think you can take it easy?

- I am taking it easy now. - You've been doing it a long time.

And worked harder than anyone.

What was that?

It means "I love you forever".

Doesn't it? Sister-in-law taught me.

It means, "I love you, so let me touch your breasts"!

Huh?

Why do you want to know my bra size?

Huh?

- I never knew Su-eun was so dirty-minded. - Get away from me!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday dear Su-eun, happy birthday to you!

- Congratulations! - Congratulations!

- Okay, one shot! - One shot!

One shot! One shot!

Bottoms up! Bottoms up!

My present?

You want more?

My present, my birthday present!

You think I'm still a kid?

These are really popular these days.

Then you wear it.

We spent all day looking for this. Just keep it.

Quiet, both of you!

You're so loud I can't understand anything.

Let me speak too.

What's your problem?

Sister-in-law, I'll give you a better present than this.

How about a blind date?

Really? With who?

Well, in my station, there's...

No, no firemen.

- Wait, let me finish. - Absolutely not. No way.

- Why are you so worked up? - Fools... Don't I have a say in this?

Forget it. No.

I have a guy already.

A blind date is the best present, right?

Really?

You have a boyfriend?

You do?

Wow...

He's cute, isn't he?

Yeah, he's good-looking.

How'd she meet a guy like this?

- They look like a good couple, huh? - Right.

Hey, Sister-in-law!

Stop! Stop! Wait a minute. Time out!

Looks ridiculous, huh?

- It was a mistake! Coach, save me! - You're dead meat! Come here, you bastard!

Get over here, you bastard!

It was a misunderstanding!

The Ministry of Education requested proper courtesies regarding cellphones.

They asked students to turn off their cellphones in libraries,

classes, hospitals, and concerts...

Mom.

- Mom! - Huh?

Aren't you going to let me out?

What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?

No... I'm okay.

Should I drive?

You don't even have a license.

You know what I mean.

It's frustrating, unnerving,

- scary, sad, and futile. - What is?

Poverty.

You know how long it's been? Three years.

But in those three years, nothing has changed.

I worked here part-time back then and I work here part-time now.

You've changed... You've grown much prettier.

You had no job then and you don't have one now.

What drives me crazy is,

in the future I'll still be here, and you'll still be unemployed.

Do you need a bag? It costs 50 won.

- The total is 24,080 won. - Wait a bit more, give me a chance.

- I know I can do better. - I've been waiting three years.

Hurry up and pay.

Will this work?

I think so...

- Let's break up. - Why, Sook-hyun?

- We've made it this far. Just... - This card is maxed out.

Find a better woman.

Can you put these back on the shelves?

Sook-hyun!

There's no better woman for me. Don't do this...

Cut it out and get lost!

I'm sorry.

Attention please.

Guardians for patient Kwak, please come to the ER.

Attention please.

Guardians for patient Kwak, please come to the ER.

Will you go in and see Mom?

Don't worry. They said she's fine.

SMS from Lee Jin-woo

Meet me at the Sky Lounge today.

Hello, hello.

Jin-woo, if you're off duty, then act like it.

Forget this and go start a fire in your girlfriend's heart,

OK? See you.

Hey, be careful!

Where is it?

Please let me find it.

The gap in performance at elementary schools is rising.

Today's forecast.

Due to the high atmospheric pressure from the southwest, the heat wave...

Someone's coming!

So this is where you've been?

Shall I paint you a portrait?

It's for free.

Can't you take that off?

Wait!

Okay, I'll paint you like that.

But next time, you'll take it off, right?

Take it off? This punk... He's got a weird taste...

You punk... What are you smirking about?

- Aren't you hot? - Wouldn't you be?

- I'm roasting in here. - If I were you, I'd take it off.

I'm dying of curiosity.

Are you a man by any chance?

There are plenty of guys with long hair.

And lots of guys have pretty legs.

Right... Men don't wear bras.

All right, stop it.

You little cutie... Don't be so shy.

I know... Your face is really ugly!

I'm joking.

You're so cute.

This is what I like about my job.

Jin-woo... If you don't show up, we're through.

May I have your attention please. A fire has been reported in the building.

Please evacuate via the nearest...

I'm in front of the building. Don't move.

I'm five seconds away. 4 seconds. 3 seconds... 2... ^^;

What are you doing here?

Huh?

Are you okay?

I thought you were going to propose!

I thought you wanted a nice dinner in a fancy restaurant.

And we never play games with fires.

How could you not know that?

What? Hey, Lee Jin-woo...

The movie's starting. Shh.

Hwi-chan, look at me.

Did you do your homework?

Then you better go home right away and do it.

Don't play on the computer. Do your homework first, okay?

I have to stay here for a few days.

You'll be fine on your own, right?

You won't?

When have I ever not been alone?

Yes, my Hwi-chan can do great on his own.

Your mom will do well too.

And I'll try to do better once I get out of here.

But you need to promise me one thing.

Show me your diary every day.

After school I went to the hospital to see Mom.

Mom is hurt, so she has to stay there a few days.

Tomorrow I'll go to the hospital and show Mom my diary as I promised.

It's nice... Now Mom doesn't work late,

she doesn't drink,

and I can see her whenever I want.

- I wish Mom would just stay sick. - I wish Mom would just stay sick.

My son wishes that I would just stay sick.

I don't scold him, I don't go drinking...

How long has it been hurting?

Huh?

- Just... since the accident. - No, I don't mean that.

Haven't you had abdominal pain?

It must've been quite severe.

Listen carefully to what I tell you.

I already told your husband.

Wait a minute, wait! Time out!

Wait! I didn't mean to hit you.

Nice job.

You're the best human sandbag.

Excuse me!

Sorry, but could you do me a favor?

- Me? - Yes.

If he asks who you are,

- just tell him you're someone I know. - Yes...

Yes... hello? I am...

What is... your name?

Mi-ryung, Song Mi-ryung.

Well, I'm an acquaintance of Song Mi-ryung.

What next?

I want to break up with him.

Say I can't stand being with a guy like him anymore.

But... you want me to say that?

Just help me this once.

I can't say it to him myself.

Mi-ryung asked me to tell you this.

She wants to break up with you.

She can't stand... being with a guy like you any longer.

He's crying.

You can hang up now.

She said you're a really good person.

She hopes you can find someone better.

Yes, really.

Wait.

Now what? You said it's finished!

Thank you so much.

- Your nose is bleeding. - What?

Don't bother. We're over.

Separation Agency

For people who are hesitant about breaking up,

or for those who have trouble saying the words,

I will...

No, we will do it for you.

Separation Agency.

I wish it would just pour rain and cool things off.

Excuse me?

Is anybody here?

Didn't she come in here just now?

Oh my god! You nearly gave me a heart attack.

Damn, why's it so dark? Is it on backwards again...

I saw the window was open, I thought that maybe...

Jesus!

I have a request.

I have something to ask you. A request.

A request?

Just don't ask me to take this off.

I want to paint you. Your face.

Don't smile at me, my knees will go weak.

Oh, wait!

I can't explain why I'm doing this, but you are difficult, too.

Just once... Don't be so difficult!

Say something. Say I'm not a thug.

I'll say something. Those guys there are thugs.

Hey, I asked you to say something! Wait!

[May 10, 1995] He's never been a romantic,

but after a date today, he suddenly threw himself onto me.

That bastard... Beast!

Dad?

Something unexpected has happened. I found out I'm pregnant.

I was so scared, I ran to him. Abort it, he said.

That scoundrel... Bastard!

I'll raise it. Healthy, smart, good-natured.

Better than me, better than its dad,

better than both of us put together.

Please, let it be a girl...

Why am I acting this way? Am I a pervert?

Good night, Princess.

How are things with your boyfriend?

Your boyfriend...

Is it going well?

Did you propose to my sister?

You argued with your boyfriend? You aren't speaking?

What a dunce.

Did you... propose to my sister?

Don't worry, don't worry.

I'll find a better boyfriend for you.

You want to...

You want to make up with him?

Ah, you need some money? I'll give you some.

He really is thick-headed.

Sister-in-law. I also have...

I have a worry, too.

But don't... Don't tell your sister.

Your sister...

Here...

Flowers...

She wants me to propose like this.

Why'd she hit me?

Not enough money?

Choi Sook-hyun!

I've been sent by Jung Ha-seok!

Ha-seok has a message for you.

Wait, Sook-hyun. Ha-seok wants to go on a date with you.

He used to be unemployed, but not anymore.

And he won't be in the future. He said to tell you this.

- Do you really have to do this? - It's true!

Oh, wait.

Hello? Yes, it is.

Right now?

It's not a good time right now... Can I go tomorrow?

No, no. That's okay. I'll go right now.

Yes, goodbye.

- Sorry about that. - We've broken up.

It doesn't matter if you have a job or not.

Hey, even the card companies give you three months.

You can give me three months, can't you?

Let's meet on Saturday for sure. Okay?

Saturday!

- Hello. - Hello.

Is there a forecast for rain today?

Well... the report has just come in.

Sorry, Soo-jeong. It'll be clear today too.

Oh, I see.

I'm right here.

Mom!

- Did you eat? - Yeah.

- And your homework? - I did it.

- And the diary? - Of course.

Hey, I told you to draw me better.

Look, my eyes are closed again.

Watch here.

Like this.

It's not working very well.

Mom, do you regret it?

Regret?

About me. Do you regret it?

Why should I feel any regret? It was my fault.

No, it's Dad's fault.

And if anything unwanted comes up in the future, get rid of it.

And I'm sorry.

But I can't wear a skirt for you.

A baby, crying all night.

This poor mom, who can't do anything for him,

other than cry outside,

so that he doesn't hear her.

All night the baby cries inside the house,

and I cry outside...

I love you, baby. Please don't be sick.

I love you, mommy. Please don't be sick.

Why?

Hwi-chan.

Hwi-chan. You don't need to do that for Mom anymore.

The nurse came and gave her a shot and some pills.

So, you don't have to do that.

No, when Mom did this for me I got well.

Go on.

- What? - The song.

Hurry, hurry and get well. Daddy's got a healing hand.

Mommy's got a pot belly. Hurry, hurry and get well.

Daddy's got a healing hand.

Is anyone here?

- Is nobody here? - We're the rescue team.

If anyone's here, just yell.

- Anyone here? - We're the rescue team.

10, this is 101. We've found someone, 46.

- Take him out first. - Yes.

This afternoon, a fire broke out in a Seoul warehouse.

35-year-old Lee, who was working inside the warehouse,

was injured by smoke inhalation.

While rescuing him, two firemen from Dobong Station received burns

and are currently in intensive care.

The fire burned down the whole warehouse and $350,000 worth

of property was damaged. The fire was put out after an hour.

The police are investigating the cause of the fire with the help of

some key witness depositions.

How did you get here?

I'm okay. I'm not hurt.

I'm the one who's hurt.

I can't take it anymore.

Every time I hear a siren, my heart drops.

Soo-jeong. It's okay, so let's go. There are other people here.

No, it's not okay.

Who cares about other people?

- I care about you, and about myself. - Soo-jeong.

These people think you're cool,

push you to be a great fireman. That's all, isn't it?

Su-jeong, that's not it.

And so they just push you deeper and deeper into the fire, right?

Soo-jeong, no...

You know...

how we work here...

You know.

No, I don't know.

I've forgotten it all.

When you say "we", I'm not included,

so how can I know?

104 this is 10, roger.

Fire alarm!

Look at you...

Now that I'm sick, you seem to study harder

and don't get into trouble.

I think I'm getting better because of you. Really...

Then Mom, can you come in front of our school?

School? Why?

You know how mothers direct traffic by the school. Can you?

Sure.

I wish I were sick instead of you.

If you ever say that again, you're not my son.

My baby is sick.

Please, please let me be sick instead of him.

- Why do you make women cry? - Huh?

Oh, you saw it?

I didn't make her cry, kiddo.

By the way, what's with your long face?

Does your girlfriend want to break up?

Or, you want to break up, but you're having trouble saying it?

You're too young to be making that kind of face.

When you get old, you'll have plenty of chances to be sad.

Mister, what do you do anyway?

Me?

To keep the one I love,

I help other couples break up.

What's that supposed to mean?

You wouldn't understand...

Here. Take this, in case you need it later.

Take it.

Separation Agency

Stop sighing at the ground!

Stop sighing at the sky.

I guess she doesn't want to see you.

Really?

Ask her to call me later.

Huh?

He understood.

She likes you a lot.

Don't worry.

No, it's okay.

I'll eat dinner at home. By myself.

I'll just go. See you.

You're not the one who got burned. Why are you hiding?

Leave me alone.

Why are you being so childish? How long will you hide there?

I said leave me alone!

Don't just yell for help, you need to help him first.

At least you can say "I love you".

You're better off than me.

I understand the situation,

but if you could help...

Yes... Just a moment.

Dad. Don't tell Mom about it.

I heard that his mother has cancer.

Your dad's a doctor, right?

- Do you know about cancer? - Sure.

- What happens if you get it? - You die. Everyone with cancer dies.

Why? Does someone have it?

No...

Mom... Mom!

Mom, are you okay?

Of course! Why wouldn't I be?

You know how much I wanted to blow this whistle?

Whenever I see you, I'm full of energy.

Mom, wait a second.

Mom, blow the whistle for me.

- Here? - Yeah.

Client: Jun Young Joo Message to: Min Chung Bum

Separation reason: Excessive violence Location: Jungu

Are you the delivery boy?

Delivery? Oh, no.

You're not? Then who the hell are you?

I'm... I was sent by Jun Young-ju.

Jun... Jun Young-ju.

That name sounds really familiar...

Is it you? Are you her new guy?

No, I just... She sent me...

Shut up, bastard. Tell her this.

If she has something to say, come and do it yourself, okay?

Beat it, punk.

What now?

Young-joo wants to break up.

The excessive violence...

Get lost, bastard! Get a life, you shit.

- What? - Wait, wait...

I delivered the message. You heard it?

No I didn't! Keep your nose out of other people's relationships!

I don't deal with relationships, only break-ups!

Go! Beat it!

Hey, I didn't hear anything.

Get lost!

You don't get it, do you?

You listen to me, goddammit!

I thought I'd die from hunger.

Ha-seok!

I have something to tell you.

What? Slow down. I've got tons to say too.

Let's eat first, then talk.

You said you were hungry.

Sook-hyun! Try this, it's great.

A fireman rescued a girl from a blaze once.

Everyone else gave up on her, but he charged in,

like a madman.

The fireman and the woman, they survived against crazy odds.

So the fireman

and the girl started dating, right?

No, he dated her sister.

She was the woman of his dreams.

Aren't you glad to see me?

I keep doing sign language, so I forget how to speak.

I remember how to say it with my hands,

but not with words.

It stays at the tip of my tongue.

But there are words that, even if I remember,

I can't say.

Maybe I just wanted to hear it from you first.

I have something to say too,

but not here.

This isn't a sky lounge, and there's no wine.

I can't treat you like a princess.

Hey hey! What's going on here?

You shouldn't use public equipment for these purposes.

Can our model fireman act this way?

Give us an explanation.

OK, get closer. I'll take a beautiful picture.

Stop smiling. Now, here we go.

Do you know where he's going?

Maybe New York or Paris.

Maybe we should make them meet before he leaves.

You know why none of the dwarves

hooked up with Snow White?

They couldn't tell her how they felt. Not one!

They were all ashamed of being dwarves.

In fact...

In fact, Snow White had a thing for short guys.

When the prince dismounted from his horse, he was goddamned... ahh...

really short.

This is a secret,

but actually he was the youngest. The eighth, who was adopted...

You know why the bitchy queen died so miserably?

She was tricked by the mirror!

When you look at your sweetheart, you don't look with a mirror,

you look with your heart.

What's all this about? It doesn't suit you.

It's too heavy.

Hi!

What are you doing here?

I have something to say.

What is it?

I'll tell you later.

- Can't you say it now? - Later.

Oh, I better go. I'll call you then.

I'll be waiting for you!

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- You're a bit late today. - Yes... sorry.

- Soo-jung. - Yes?

It's going to rain tonight. The rainy season is starting.

Oh, really?

Thank you!

Hey, number eight!

I was curious... how you looked.

Your eyes, your nose...

You're pretty. More than I imagined.

Don't be so shy... You fool.

It's the makeup, and the lighting.

Wait, we don't even know each other's names.

What's your name?

Su-eun

Su-eun... Your name's pretty too.

But Su-eun, why don't you speak? I'm doing all the talking.

Say something.

Hey, can't you speak?

I'm sorry... I just...

Why are you sorry? You didn't make me this way.

I'll say it today before it's too late.

I've saved a woman from a fire...

Saved a man from drowning...

But now,

now...

I want to save a man who's fallen in love.

I know it's too late, but...

please accept this.

The stadium will be open for use from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The district will try to attract

citizens from various classes.

Now some breaking news.

This evening, a fire broke out at a shoe factory in Dobong-gu.

The blaze killed two firemen on duty...

and a third, unidentified victim.

The firemen killed were

40-year-old Suh Ki-soo and 30-year-old Lee Jin-woo.

38-year-old Lee Jo-hyung was severely burned

and moved to a hospital.

The tragedy occurred in

the basement of the building

as the dispatched firemen

tried to extinguish the flames.

Now, Hong will report on tonight's weather.

Rain is falling across the nation.

The rain should quell the 20-day heat wave

and open the rainy season, according to the Weather Bureau.

The early arrival of the monsoon

will most likely continue for a month.

Starting next month, a seasonal rain front will...

Please draw me again.

Actually, I'm leaving to study abroad next month.

I know, you punk.

That's why I'm showing it to you.

I don't show this to just anyone.

There was something I really wanted to draw before leaving.

If the chance came, I thought I could draw it well.

I really thought...

that I could draw it well.

I know it already.

You wanted to draw me,

but it didn't turn out like you expected.

Still... thanks anyway for saying so.

But... I don't want to hear anymore.

Otherwise,

it will be too much to take.

Goodbye.

Client: Choi Suk Hyun Message to: Jung Ha Seok

Separation reason: Found a new love Location: Mapo

Mr. Jung Ha-seok.

I was sent by Choi Sook-hyun. You know her, right?

Sook-hyun asked me to deliver this message.

Sook-hyun wants to break up with you.

It was too hard for her to say it,

so I came instead. You understand?

Sook-hyun said she's met somebody new.

Of course you're a good person, and she loved you.

But without realizing it, a new love appeared.

Please don't take it too hard.

Wish her the best with her new love.

And... she... hopes that...

you'll find a new love too.

With all of her heart.

You heard me, right?

Mom!

It'll be okay.

You'll get better soon.

Ju-young!

Mom...

Dad, don't cry. Mom will hear.

Mom... Mom!

I'll be good now! Mom, please don't die.

Mom, don't die...

Mom, please don't!

Mom... don't die!

I'll behave from now on.

Ms. Eom Ju-young?

I'm from a separation agency. You know Park Hwi-chan?

I was sent by him.

I was going to quit this work,

but since he's my last client, I came especially for him.

Now... I'll deliver the message from Mr. Park Hwi-chan.

Hwi-chan doesn't want to separate from you, Ms. Eom.

This is an unusual case.

Hwi-chan wants you to stand up again.

Who?

Park Hwi-chan.

My son.

Yes...

Your son has one more thing to show you.

And that is...

Didn't he draw it well?

He said he couldn't draw you well before...

because you are too pretty.

Are you okay?

Hwi-chan says he'll do what you say, keep his diary,

and won't tell lies anymore, so please...

Tell my son...

Thank you...

for drawing me... so well.

I will.

Mom... Mom...

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Have a seat.

Would you like something to drink?

No thanks. And the reason you wanted to see me?

We found something while investigating this accident.

I thought I'd better show you.

And these were found in Mr. Lee Jin-woo's clothes.

Soo-jeong.

Me too.

I love you too.

Su-eun.

You know why I wanted him to propose to me?

It was all for him.

If he confessed his love... and thought about marriage... and such.

Then he could think about me, once more before jumping into the fire,

and be a bit more scared of the fire... I thought I could change him.

That's how it started but now...

I've become sort of... fixated on it.
