Next Entertainment World presents

a Yong Film production

I need to be quick. I can't be seen like this.

It always happens like this.

Wu Jin?

Yesterday, my hand was bigger than my face.

But today...

it's twice as big.

Well, it's not that bad.

It's temporary.

It'll change again tomorrow.

Man, woman, old man, child...

sometimes a foreigner...

I wake up to a different face every morning.

My eyesight can vary as well...

My voice too...

and I get to adjust to that every morning.

I don't know why this happened.

Or how to get back

to normal.

I make furniture.

I design it

and make it alone.

It doesn't bother me.

Thanks to the internet, anything is possible

when you never have to show your face...

when you live online.

The only friend I have is Sang Baek.

Wu Jin...

Right?

There's a designer who can't decide on a knob

and the entire production is on hold...

What a crazy bastard!

Listen, we're not making thrones for the Queen of England.

Mr. Kim Wu Jin, designer of ALX!

All right, I'll make up my mind quickly.

Nice face today, by the way.

It'd be a waste not to have fun with it.

Let's go.

What...

Do you come here often?

Not really. My friend does.

I have a friend

whose face changes whenever he wakes up.

No way...

- What is your name? - Kim Wu Jin.

Kim Wu Jin.

Kim Wu Jin.

Kim Wu Jin.

Kim Wu Jin.

He wakes up as a man, and sometimes a woman.

Sometimes an old man, and sometimes an old woman.

I'm serious!

- What do you do for a living? - What's your job?

- I'm in public service. - I'm a dentist.

A comedian.

So basically, you can do a different guy every day.

That's not possible...

He lives on this very earth!

I have to wash my hands.

Sure, you can go.

Just leave your coat.

That must hurt.

Shall we go?

My skin was nice yesterday...

I can't even see anything today.

I can never fall in love

because I have a different face every single day.

That's it for today.

That's it for today.

That's it for today.

That's it for today.

It happened twelve years ago.

The Beauty Inside

It was my 18th birthday.

What?

Who is this ajeossi*? (=middle-aged man)

Is this me?

I thought I was dreaming.

Welcome.

Mom... Mom...

[Kim Wu Jin]

How...

Why did this happen?

How can this be...

My mother

didn't take me to the hospital, she took me home.

She said she was sorry.

She cried.

[Graduation]

Obviously, I dropped out of school.

I never got to have a normal life.

- May I help you? - Sorry. I'll come back later.

While my friends went to college...

[Facebook]

and dated

[Wu Jin's friends]

I can't see clearly.

How about these?

I lived a different life.

A life that no one would ever understand.

I was beginning to adjust to this new life

Hello, ma'am.

He came back.

Is Wu Jin here?

Of course he's not.

Please give this to Wu Jin.

He likes odeng* a lot. (*fish balls)

By the way, you gained weight.

Too much stress?

My childhood friend, Sang Baek.

Raspberry wine is perfect with this, right?

Once Wu Jin and I drank

all your raspberry wine

and filled the empty jar

with cheap soju.

I apologize for that...

I mean, soju...

Ma'am?

Who are you?

So, ajumma*... you're saying... you're Wu Jin. (middle-aged married lady)

Wu Jin woke up as you...

So you're Wu Jin... What the heck am I saying?

Let me ask you a few things.

What did we usually eat after our classes?

Tteokbokki.* (steamed rice cakes in spicy red sauce)

- S.E.S*? - Eugene. (*K-pop girl group of which Eugene is a member)

Starcraft?

Zerg.

- My favorite Zerg trick? - Four Drones.

Aish! I'm going crazy here!

Who's my favorite Japanese actress?

Aoi...

- Sora. - Aoi Sora, indeed!

How do you know that!

- Hey! - Yeah?* (responds to casual speech, while an ajumma would be offended)

Then...

he burst out laughing.

So you woke up like this today?

Shouldn't you be at a PTA meeting or something?

And I laughed, too.

You idiot. So you're like this.

It's you... no one but my buddy, Kim Wu Jin.

I know.

What are you talking about?

I mean... you're my friend.

Friends for fifteen years.

You know what? I'm really happy that we're friends.

Couldn't be happier, really.

What's up with you?

What I mean is, we've been best friends

for fifteen years! We've been through a lot.

So... for the sake of our friendship,

let me do you.

Are you crazy? Absolutely not.

I'm not crazy. Just do me once.

I've never seen a girl like you in my life.

And if you don't do me in that body,

you're making a huge mistake. And I won't let you do that.

- So don't make a mistake. - You're crazy...

- It's me, Kim Wu Jin! - And I am Han Sang Baek.

So please, just once...

Shit, drop it. Fine. I was just kidding.

Fine. I'll drop it.

Just let me see your boobs.

It's the least you can do.

Wait... my eyes... they're burning...

Go away! Back off.

- Hold on for a second... - Damn it...

Just once...

Kim Wu Jin, right? I know, I know.

Ah, here you are.

Dammit... I can't take it anymore.

God damn it.

I quit!

Why?

This is ridiculous... Look at this.

My company is copying your design!

Those cheating bastards.

They have zero creativity.

My friend's design!

I need something unique...

Haute-couture...?

Haute... what? Hottie?

Everyone sits on a chair in a different position.

Some on the corner...

and the some on the edges.

How about making

custom-made furniture, especially for each customer?

We measure the body and design it by hand.

What do you think?

Sang Baek suggested we make our own brand.

Such a high-end concept...

You must be a genius.

We named it...

ALX.

I could never have come up with that. Let's work together.

You and me. You make it, I'll sell it.

How about it?

It felt right.

Today

Director Han!

What's up, dude?

Hello, sir.

How about merging furniture and home appliances?

Like an oven, hidden inside a table,

or a computer monitor popping out of nowhere!

Transformers-style!

I'll design the furniture,

you just sell it, all right?

You're a genius in making furniture.

Like the angle of this knob.

It would be perfect if you'd adjust it just a tiny bit.

Your compliments hurt me.

Fine. I'll adjust it.

But please use less expensive materials...

Like the knob?

I chose one already.

I know, you idiot. It's too expensive.

No. I'm the boss here. Mr. Employee, please.

I'm begging you.

Shit.

Oh. You're a writer.

Do you usually cross your legs when you write?

I'm not sure.

You have rather long legs...

so this might not be the perfect choice.

I never knew my height had anything to do with my chair.

Are you looking for a specific style?

A comfortable chair

with bright colors and arm rests.

Something like that?

This chair is made of a special type of wood.

It's made from the lumber of old and abandoned ships.

Isn't that special?

First a tree, then a ship,

and now, a chair.

Are you looking for a specific design?

I sit in an unusual position when I work.

How should I put it... I sit as if I'm riding a horse.

So, I want a chair

shorter than a stool but taller than a regular chair.

That's what I want.

Can I guess what you do?

You make furniture,

am I right?

I saw you choosing knobs earlier.

Do you know the brand ALX?

It takes a while to receive it,

but it's custom-made and they use good materials.

This is their website. You can order online.

Is this allowed?

Of course not.

I come here all the time.

How come I've never seen her?

It's made of oak.

And the leather makes it fashionable.

This one's made from teak wood.

So it's solid, yet... sophisticated.

Have a seat.

I went to see her every day.

Does it take long to finish your meals?

Do you change your position a lot?

Have you ever been to Myanmar?

This top plate is made of mango wood from Myanmar.

I'd like to recommend this.

She would always treat me the same,

Here's my card. Please call me if you have any questions. However,

it was because I was just a new customer to her.

Should I ask her...

Never mind.

Even if she likes me today, she won't recognize me tomorrow.

But my heart is telling me otherwise.

Of course I prefer being handsome. Not today...

And the younger

the better.

A brown-eyed...

[I... can't]

handsome man...

[speak today].

Hello. (In Chinese)

Finally!

Yes!

People say true beauty lies inside,

but first impressions are equally important.

May I help you? Are you looking for something?

I am...

May I help you?

Are you sure you're all right with a floor sample?

We can send you a new one in two days.

It's fine. It took me a lot of courage to get me this far.

All right then. I'll see you again.

So... is this chair better

than the one you talked about?

Wood...

or steel?

Steak or sushi?

Excuse me?

Sushi, I guess.

Good, hop in.

I love sushi, too.

Thanks, but today I can't.

I have to work all night...

It has to be today...

You need to eat anyway...

No, thank you.

Enjoy your sushi.

W-Wait a second!

The truth is...

I practiced this a lot.

Inviting you to dinner.

But... why today?

- We're not eating here? - No.

I'd better get back to work.

I know a place much better than this!

870612-1775416.

01021912431, #27-12 Nonhyun-dong.

What?

My social security number, cell number...

I promise, I'm not some weird person.

You can check.

What's your number?

You'll like that place.

Isn't this the ALX factory?

My boss adores this brand!

She really wants them in our store.

I sent them tons of e-mails, but never heard back.

How about you, Miss Yi Su?

I love them!

Your own unique furniture.

It's a bit expensive, though.

That's...

- inevitable. - Inevitable?

Do you work here?

I guess so.

Go ahead.

Can I?

Of course not.

I haven't had sushi in a while.

It's good.

- Can I borrow that? - What?

This.

Is it all right to eat here?

Sure.

It's like the table's making the sound.

That's a good idea.

A speaker inside a table

so when you touch a button,

the table makes the sound!

Like a Transformer?

Wouldn't it be weird?

I'm so full.

It's pretty far, isn't it?

I should've driven.

This is me. See - the persimmon tree.

- Call me. - I will.

I'm home!

You're late. Dinner?

I ate. Something good.

With a man. I can so tell.

Dinner tomorrow?

I finish at 6 p.m.

Will be there by 6.

Tonight I'm staying up.

Why didn't I think of this before?

At least I know now.

Are you sure?

I'm never sleeping again.

What are we doing now?

Do you like music?

Wow...

Do you come here often?

Please, sit here for a moment.

Wood is a special thing.

That it can make a guitar,

make this sound...

Ramirez.

José Ramirez. The brand of the guitar.

- Do you know this song? - Yes.

I was surprised you chose this. ("Amapola", a 1920 song by José María Lacalle García)

- Why? - Well...

I feel... you're like me.

You wanted to come here again?

Bon appétit!

Why do you always tie your hair after the first bite?

It's like saying, 'Now I'm really ready to eat.'

But what do you do here?

Something like designing...

Are you the designer?

Yes... me... yes.

Me money, your money,

are both same same.

Sure, I see.

Your money, many me money, me happy.

Yes... Okay.

At least clean the table after eating...

How have you been?

I've missed you a lot.

A love chair for the lovers.

They must go crazy at night.

Like this...

Yamete! Yamete!*... (*"No, stop!" in Japanese. Standard expression in porn anime)

Boobs...

You thought I'd never

eat the leftovers like this.

You're wrong, my friend.

This is good.

No!

Don't...

I understand how it is...

Why do you keep calling, you jerk? Let me sleep.

Tell me a funny story.

Go to sleep, you moron.

I'm sorry.

I'm late.

It's fine... Maybe...

two hours?

Just like that... Right...

Just like that...

How do you know this place?

This place... it calms me.

They're rings?

Pretty.

Mr. Wu Jin, you look like you're going to faint.

Like you haven't slept for days.

Didn't you sleep well last night?

I'm all right.

Are you sure?

I am.

Tomorrow...

I need to go home early tomorrow.

Let's have breakfast, then.

Did you sleep?

Yes? No. What?

This is a special gift from your dear sister.

What's this?

It's a femidom.

- Femi... what? - Femidom.

A female condom! You little teenager.

No, no, no! We're not like that.

Then why're you taking it?

You can be honest with me.

You're feeling butterflies and think it's true love.

Then bam! You do it!

"Mister, you're already done"?

- It can be like that. - No way.

It's possible!

It's amazing. It's like I've known him all my life.

Are you sleeping?

He seems like a good man.

Hello! Wake up!

We're closing down.

I thought it would last forever.

I was wrong.

I promised to see her again

but she's looking for yesterday's me.

Yes, boss.

Yi Su, when are the recruits coming?

Next week.

The resumés will come in soon.

I was just testing you.

By the way, where are you?

Sorry, I overslept.

Overslept?

I'll be there soon.

You better be. Come quickly!

All right.

Hong Yi Su

This is the end.

Sorry, can't make it to breakfast - Wu Jin

Miss Yi Su!

I'm looking for something with an antique style...

Wanted: Temporary staff

Hong Yi Su: Delete contact?

What's up with you? I waited a long time.

She's waiting for me...

I can't disappear like this.

I would do anything for her.

I always knew...

the pretty ones are good at their jobs, too.

I just sent them e-mails. That's all.

Great!

Yi Su, take care of training the recruits.

Yes.

Learn, and work hard,

and you'll be made full-time in three months.

Yes!

You're good.

Where did you learn it?

My name is Han Jae Gyeong.

Nice to meet you, Jae Gyeong.

- Keep up the good work. - Thanks.

By the way...

Nothing. Nice to meet you, too.

It gets better.

It's all right. I'm fine.

- Jae Gyeong, right? - Yes.

Are you...

free after...

Seonbaenim*! (respectful way of addressing one's work seniors)

Hold on.

Talk to you later, Jae Gyeong.

- What is it? - The boss wants to see you...

Circle up. End-of-day briefing.

Good job today, everyone.

See you all tomorrow with smiles. Thanks for today.

- Thank you. - Thanks for today.

- See you tomorrow. - Thank you.

See you all tomorrow.

Thank you.

You have plans for dinner?

Aren't you hungry? How about having dinner...

Do you have something to say?

Kim Wu Jin...

Do you remember him?

It's the first time someone's here.

Remember?

What are these?

Why are they at your place?

Yi Su, listen to me first. Let me explain.

What are you, Jae Gyeong?

Please, don't get me wrong.

Are you stalking me?

It's not like that... I just...

I better get going.

I am Kim Wu Jin!

Not...

Han Jae Gyeong, but Kim Wu Jin.

I know it sounds crazy,

but please, look at this.

Hong Yi Su.

I went there a lot, but I never saw her.

Her voice... Her eyes...

I can't get her off my mind.

First a tree, then a ship...

now, a chair.

We're very similar. That's it for today.

I haven't felt like this before.

It's a miracle that I stayed up for two days

and I don't know what's going to happen from now on,

but I don't care.

That's it for today.

They are...

all...

me.

I...

I change every time I wake up.

So... all these different faces

and different bodies...

are Kim Wu Jin.

It doesn't make sense.

That chair made of an old ship,

the music we listened to at the factory...

And...

the antique shop... the Ramirez guitar...

I know it doesn't make sense

and it sounds crazy.

But...

it's all me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I just wanted to tell you.

The truth.

Why are you doing this to me?

Let me show you the texts you've sent me...

I don't ever want to see you again.

Please...

I've grown accustomed to that look

of disbelief.

I saw the same look in the mirror the first day I changed.

Then on my mom's face

after she saw me that day,

and later on Sang Baek's face.

Once again...

I'm alone.

Changing appearances

every time you wake up...

Why so serious?

What are you searching for?

Eonni*. (elder sister, said by a woman)

Do you think transformation is possible in humans?

Sure.

Look at those celebrities.

They show up with different faces every season.

Giving excuses like they gained weight... blah blah blah.

Are you still seeing that guy? Is something wrong?

I have no idea.

Why? What is it? Something's happened, yeah?

Right? You did it?

No, it's not that.

Actually...

I don't know. It's complicated.

Go ahead.

We were waiting for you.

- Wonderful. - We have sandwiches.

I want this table.

Where's the music coming from?

- Wow, it resonates. - It's so beautiful.

Excuse me.

I bought a chair,

and I'm looking for a table to match.

The color of the chair is like brick.

I draw a lot, so I want the table to be large enough.

A large table would do.

Wu Jin?

Sorry?

Sorry about that.

I came to see

Mr. Kim Wu Jin.

Some tea? (In Japanese)

Or something else? (In Japanese)

But you don't speak...

I can't speak Korean (In Japanese)

but I understand it. (In Japanese)

Are you really Wu Jin?

Yes, I am. (In Japanese)

So...

You like me.

Maybe not.

I do like you. (In Japanese)

Then let's sleep together.

I want to see it myself.

You. Changing into a different person.

And when

did this all begin?

When I was 18.

And ever since.

I don't know

why it happened,

and I...

...I still don't.

How old are you?

The social security number, was it real?

I'm 29.

The number is real.

So we're the same age. Interesting...

Will you ever die?

I don't know. I've never tried.

Anything good about it? (She's also speaking In Japanese no)

Sorry?

- Right, you don't understand Japanese. - Sorry.

It's really confusing.

Anything good about it?

I get dates when I'm handsome.

Why...

me?

I got used to it. My condition.

I was fine with it.

But once I met you,

it became awkward

and painful.

I wanted to meet you

and talk to you.

I missed you.

But I couldn't.

That's why I told you.

Will you be all right

with what's about to happen?

Wu Jin...?

You were Japanese...

It's a miracle for me to meet the same girl

for more than a week.

Really?

I met her every day.

We'd talk about the silliest things

and go to the craziest places.

Does it hurt?

Do you like it?

Well, not too bad.

But I can't clearly see what's written.

Can you do it in Korean?

A day is too short...

I wanted this to last forever. One, two, three... [Yi Su]

I was no longer alone in my pictures.

Hello?

Hello?

Oh my, you're an ajeossi today.

Aigoo... Just look at that.

Hmm?

I just...

want to get familiar with today's Kim Wu Jin.

- Are you done? - Nope.

It really is weird.

How can you be like a stranger every day?

Sorry.

- I have a question. - Yes.

Which appearance do you hate most?

Yi Su.

Could you... at least...

call me ma'am?

The one thing...

Want some fried beef?

- I do know, is that Yi Su - No, I want the liver.

will be the most loved girl on the planet.

It's so soft. Try it.

You should speak formally when talking to older people.

- I told you to call me ma'am. - Why should I?

- Do as I say! - I won't!

Cheers.

Look out!

Cheers.

Your body can't lie, I guess.

I'm so drunk already.

Kim Wu Jin?

Good lord.

How much is it?

60,000 won (about $60).

I got this.

Here. What?

This one?

He's funny.

Is he your son?

He's... my friend's son.

I feel safe around her. And happy.

I'm no longer alone in the world.

Hmm?

It's just...

your face changes every day.

So I need something to recognize you by...

Your scent or touch...

I'll hold your hand like this.

I'll find you before you find me.

Ta-da!

You didn't eat, right?

No, I had something.

- Coffee. - Please.

Too much coffee isn't good for you.

It's delicious. Just like my mom's.

Isn't it?

My dad made it.

- And you... - I packed them.

Sealed with all my love and care.

Sir.

That's it?

Indeed, sir.

Bon appétit, sir.

Why do you speak formally?

It's just...

I look like a thug today, don't I?

No, not really... yeah...

Sang Baek

You realize you haven't completed the new line.

You gave me a sketch. That's all.

I've been waiting on these samples for a month!

You're not the only one in a relationship.

I've been procrastinating...

You should work today.

I'll catch up on laundry, cleaning, and stuff.

You want to come with me?

Can I really?

Honey, I quit clubbing years ago.

I have a very common face.

We have to try something new. It has to be new.

- Want some coffee? - Wait, do you want coffee?

- No thanks. - I heard a lot about you.

You have long hair and fair skin, just like he said.

How about putting heat underneath?

Am I the only one who's cold?

It can be the follow-up for the speaker table.

- It's good, right? - What do you think?

How about making a second line of ALX

that produces standardized sizes at a lower price?

That way, more people could have access to the ALX brand.

It could open new doors for you.

A standardized line...

It's a brilliant idea!

Really?

Who the hell are you?

Everything she says is fine?

You didn't even listen to me when I pitched you

the speaker table, or about the second line...

Damn it.

Have a seat, Yi Su.

How is it?

I like it.

I heard your studio is having a party.

Thanks for the invite,

but I don't think we can make it.

We're very secretive

and you know Wu Jin's condition...

And I only attend parties with hot girls.

Don't take it personally.

When is it?

I like the furniture here.

it's really pretty.

Damn it. God damn it.

Should I just go?

Right! I'll say I'm Yi Su's grandma.

Never mind.

I don't ask for much.

Please...

Let me be a man.

Why didn't you bring him?

Everyone brought a date.

He really couldn't come?

Tonight's biggest issue

was your boyfriend.

Why is that?

Because everyone describes a different person.

They're just curious.

But...

You do have a man. Right?

I do. You'll be surprised when you see him.

Drop it.

If he's a man who leaves you alone on a day like this,

he's useless. Find a new one tonight.

Look around.

Am I too late?

No, you're not.

How do you do?

Wow.

Nice to meet you. I work with Yi Su.

Well... I should leave you.

Enjoy the party.

Good God, wow.

I tried really hard.

I was a grandma!

Stop staring at each other.

I feel like vomiting.

Let's go somewhere nice and have a drink.

Drop that! I warned you!

Look at you, dumbass.

Your eyes are literally sparkling. No, really! Stop it already.

Isn't this guy handsome? It's useless.

Because it keeps changing every time he wakes up.

One day he's Chinese, the next day, a woman.

He once woke up as a hot girl. I almost did him.

Don't listen to him!

But I won't change.

I want to live with you.

What are you talking about? There's no such person!

You're looking at one right here.

Wu Jin, talk to her.

You must be drunk, Sang Baek.

Am I? Yes, you might be right.

To tell you the truth,

I hate you, Yi Su.

Huh?

Don't mind him. He's drunk.

Right. Didn't you order a love chair?

Why did you use a pseudonym?

And use your address?

You dog...

You and Yi Su...

He's kidding, right?

Of course he is...

Yi Su.

He's a nice guy.

Please don't hurt him.

I know you're a wonderful person. But that's what worries me.

I'm sorry I hate you.

I'm just way too drunk.

Let's me go pee first. My bladder's about to burst.

Bladder... What a great word.

Shall we go?

Before he comes back?

Will you marry me? I'll raise the children.

I raise the kids, you raise the money.

What's this?

Oh, it's that thing!

That's it for today.

That's it for today.

That's it for today.

What's this?

Why are you looking at my phone?

What's wrong with you?

- You're so good, sis. - At what?

Who are these men?

This is my mom's shop.

And she's my mom.

Oh... I see.

No, you have to hook it through here...

Shall I undo it?

Let's try again...

- Turn it like this... - Good, just like that.

Put it here...

Wind it...

I'll knit one just for you.

All right.

Welcome.

This is hard.

Wu Jin said he was a bad son.

That he doesn't visit you enough.

Are you all right,

being with my Wu Jin?

It must be hard on you.

I don't want anything else.

I just hope you don't get hurt.

Cheers! Long time!

That's how I saw it.

How is your handsome boyfriend?

Oh, is he the one I saw in front of our store?

You saw him?

When I was working late.

He looked a little different.

How long have you been together?

Didn't he come with Mr. Han from ALX the other time?

- Right. - Call him to join us.

- Yeah! - Call him now.

Incoming call!

It must be him! Tell him to come right now.

Next time, next time.

Is he with someone? Bring him too!

Where are you? I'm here.

I'm here, too.

Where?

Find me.

What?

I said, find me.

Stop it. Where are you?

Sorry, I thought it would be fun.

Wu Jin

Little by little, I've grown accustomed to the situation.

I'm sorry, Yi Su. I won't do it again

I never thought of it from her perspective.

Wu Jin

Yi Su, I'm really sorry. I was wrong.

I didn't know it would freak you out.

Knock, knock

Open the door, please

Don't smile.

I'm still mad at you.

Then why are you here?

I should be the first one to witness tomorrow's Kim Wu Jin

so that he won't mess with me.

- So you're sleeping over? - I don't know!

You're so mean.

I'm really sorry...

Don't ever do that again.

Hello?

Why didn't you wake me up?

I would've taken you home.

I came back just fine.

Why are you whispering?

My eonni and dad are still sleeping.

So I'm in my room.
