Because This Is My First Life

Timing and Subtitles Brought to You by the Scrimp & Scrape Team @ Viki!

My family is having the annual kimchi-making ritual this week.

But your home is in Namhae. How could I . . .

That's not for me to figure out.

I'll text you the time and place.

You're up early.

Yes.

Red giseng extracts

That's my red ginseng.

This one's yours.

Oh.

Yes.

You're going out already?

Yes.

I've agreed to meet Bok Nam for breakfast. Together at the cafe.

I see.

Oh.

Our monthly rental agreement.

No.

Our monthly rental marriage contract. I am taking mine with me.

The other day your mother opened all the drawers here and there and everywhere.

So I was going to keep mine at the cafe. It seems safer there.

Oh. She won't be coming anymore. I made it clear to her and I changed the passcode, too.

Yes. Conversations between mother and son aren't my business.

Just in case, I think it's best for you to leave yours at the company too, Landlord.

The contract, should it be seen by others, would be troublesome.

Yes.

Then...

Good job, Yoon Ji Ho. It was perfect.

I was completely emotionless.

Poker face.

She's properly pissed off. Right?

Huh?

Oh, why are you in there now?

Let's go out.

They are attacking us negatively outright.

They seemed to be playing off our "dating, not marriage" name.
New App Name: Never Mind Dating, Let's Marry

The issue is that it's working.

They're rated higher than us in the app store already. Barely a month after they launched.

So I saw that app,

and it even includes one's parent's jobs and yearly salaries.

That's working for the unexpectedly traditional children-conscious clientele.

Those who date with marriage in mind want a definitive relationship.

Chief Nam, what's your thought on this, regarding this urgent crisis?

The design concept

is excellent.

But if they had put that event banner on the bottom of the profile, it would've been much better.

Chief Nam?

We're not asking you to talk about your impression as a designer here.

Maybe it's time we also changed our main concept?

The premise of saying that the dating market and the marriage market are separate is in itself rather risky.

Uh-huh.

I think the app was named wrongly from the get-go. "Dating, not marriage?"

Who named this app?

The one who did that is the only one here who is married.

Then, let's continue the concept meeting tomorrow.

Whether we should continue to go with the current concept of dating only,

or if we should switch to a concept that includes marriage.

Let's meet again tomorrow after everyone has thought about it some more. Ok?

Yes.

Why did you come today? Then you should've refused after an appropriate amount of time.

Or said you had work.

Why, when you're someone who usually defends well?

Ji Ho, though this wasn't in our contract,

for today's unjustified labor you had to do,

I hope this can cover it.

Ha!

Is he Won Bin? What's with "how much will do?"
(Reference to drama, "Autumn's Tale.")

Did something happen with the landlord?

Hey, when did you...?

I read it, and it sounds pretty good. I think I should do a contract marriage too, later on.

You've got a house and you've got a motorcycle. Why would you?

Having a house and car is still completely different than having a person.

I feel lonely to be home alone nowadays.

You are at least less lonely since your husband is at home with you.

Hey, do you know why a husband is called 'nam-pyeon'?

It's because it means Nam (other's) Pyeon (side) that it's 'nampyeon'. There's an old saying, that goes like this:

"The porridge bowls, you have your daughter wash them."

"But you have your daughter-in-law wash the dishes that were used for mixing." (give daughter-in-law the more difficult task) Ha! Daughter-like daughter-in-law?

If that's what she wanted, then she should make me her foster daughter. Why did she take me as her daughter-in-law?

What's wrong?

Noona. You resemble someone I know so much right now.

Who?

My next-door ahjumma.

What?

That ahjumma, every day . . .

she speaks ill of her husband with that exact face.

How can your expression be exactly the same as hers?

You were so innocent when you first came to work here. But who would've thought I would end up seeing the ahjumma's face on you.

I think I'm just not going to get married.

I mean, the setup was wrong from the get-go.

Dating and not marriage? Even the name is so unaffectionate. It's too pessimistic.

- Yeah, that's true.
- I always thought that.

I said that before, too.

So, now,

I think it's right for our app to go with the concept of putting marriage front and center.

Yeah.

That's a good idea.

Everyone. Look at this.

Amidst this crisis, on a weekday, someone's applied for a day off.

Shall we try to guess who that was?

Not me.

Application for day off. Department? Design team.

Name? Nam Se Hee.

So it's Chief Nam.

I've got a personal reason. Inevitably, on a weekday.

Which company employee would have such personal, inevitable reason, on a weekday?

Kimjang. I need to go and do that.

Kimjang? (annual kimchi making ritual)

What's kimjang? Is it a newly developed program?

Do you mean kimjang as in making kimchi?

Yes. That kimjang.

How far are you going to make kimchi that you need a day off?

Namhae. My wife's home.

No, my in-laws' home. I need to go and make kimchi there.

I've never applied for a day off this year.

I request your speedy approval.

Our app name, I think it's best to leave it Dating, not Marriage, after all.

Yeah.

The name is just fine as is.

Yeah. Marriage sucks.

Getting married is something that scary. Won Seok-nim.

Episode 11
Because It's My First Time at Today's Ocean

Oh, Manager, you're on that app too? Gyeolmalrae?

No, my boyfriend works at this company, so I just installed it.

Really?

Oh. You got so many hearts.

Well, I'm on it just for fun anyway.

It's true. You'll be a married woman soon anyway.

Did you two set a date yet?

Huh?

We're still discussing that.

You guys all checked today's lunch reservations?

Yes.

Hello?

Yes, Mother.

Yes. Oh, you're here in Seoul?

What?

Right in front of my company? Yes, I'll come out now.

You should have dinner with Rang and I before you leave.

I need to go home and make dinner for her father. I've got some time before the bus leaves,

so I thought I'd come and look at my son-in-law's face instead of my daughter's.

Son-in-law?

I saw the picture and the rock on the ring is so big.

I think you overdid it?

No. I should get at least that much for Rang.

That's right.

She's my daughter, so I can say this.

These days, you can't find a girl like my Ho Rang.

Once you marry her, she's someone who'd manage your household and be a supportive wife to you. She learned it since she was little from watching me.

I know that.

Then . . .

About when do you plan to have the wedding?

What did your parents say?

That. Mother, I haven't told my family yet.

You should hurry and tell them. It's not so good to drag it out.

Rang, too. She can't live with Soo Ji in that apartment forever.

Right. Of course.

Seok, are you still living in that rooftop room?

Yes, I'm still staying there.

Does that place even have hot water? Is it wind-proof?

Yes, of course. It all works well.

Sim Wok Seok and Yang Ho Rang's bankbook

Rang, what do you mean getting married in a year or two? How can we marry in a year or two?

Why can't we get married in a year or two? We've saved up all this money, all this time.

I mean, the two of us saved up for two years at $500 each, every paycheck.

So that's $1,000 times 24 months. It's no less than . . .

Please take your bankbook.

It's no less than a lot!

Where did I take it off?

Maybe I didn't put one on at home at all?

Yes, Deputy Park.

Deputy Woo, what's taking so long? The food's coming out.

Yes, I'm coming.

I'll just leave on my coat.

This is good.

Eat a lot.

I'm sweating.

It's hot.

Deputy Woo, aren't you hot? You should take that off when you eat.

I'm alright.

Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry.

It spilled. Wet wipe.

Give it to me. I'll wipe it.

I'm sorry. It was slippery.

I told you. She doesn't wear one. I told you so.

Give it. Give it. $50 each. Give it.

But how can she go around without a bra? Is that common for women these days?

She should be about a B cup, right?

B? B? No, no, no. A very full A.

- A very full A.
- How do you know that?

You just look and you know. I'm very accurate.

Seriously, if I just wasn't married,

Deputy Woo and I, together, huh!

I would . . .

Deputy Woo.

How long have you been there?

Can you give me a light?

So you do smoke.

Did you win a lot?

Your betting on me being a no-bra.

I'm a very full A cup, as you can see, so it was pretty obvious, huh?

Deputy Park, I think you're the same size as me.

Let me know if you don't plan to shed some weight by working out. I'll lend you mine.

Put that away. That gaze that doesn't reveal your intention.

You know I dislike that.

What exactly happens when you marry?

Your impenetrable IT world,

how did kimjang and aday-off penetrate it? Through what route?

Well, it's something that could be expected.

"Seaworld" (in-law-world) started and I plan to pay that back the same way with labor.

She was summoned to my family's memorial service. Ji Ho was.

I got it. You know Byeong Moon, right? Eom Byeong Moon?

After the Thanksgiving holiday, he needs to take care of his wife for a month like a slave.

Why? Because she says she doesn't even want to even look at anyone with the last name Eom.

So if he gets kicked out, then he will lie on the sofa in the living room.

Then, when his parents show up, he'll go, "Ehem," and put on the 'head of the household' act again.

I really don't know what that is.

That's nothing other than the social disease created by Korean parents.

Inflict physical labor upon other people's kids with 'family' as their pretext.

And also demand psychological labor, then in return, have that all come back to them as their children's spousal fights, then divorce.

For a rational-thinking human being

it's a system that they would never choose. That is marriage.

So, never...

But how come someone like you chose that system?

It's really very shocking, isn't it?

A left-brain-loan and right-brain-cat guy like you. Why would you choose such an irrational system?

I mean, is your wife the cat's butler? Or are you getting rent from your wife, maybe?

I mean, it's very questionable.

She's pretty.

No matter how pretty she is, still . . .

Did you forget? She's pretty, I said.

A man is an animal with what weakness?

- Sight?
- So if a pretty woman is in front of him,

- does he look at her or not?
- He does.

Then, if that man can see that pretty woman every day, does he marry or not marry?

He marries no matter what.

That's right. So you understand it.

I'm at Oppa's company's side entrance parking lot. Run here within twenty minutes.

I really need to work off my frustration today, so be prepared.

- Hey, you go in first. I'll see you tomorrow.
- CEO Ma, you said you had an important meeting today.

An even more important meeting came up. Is that the side entrance?

No. The side entrance is this way.

See you later.

Oh, sorry. I'm so busy, though.

Sorry. See you tomorrow. See you later.

Ta-da. Hello, my baby.

I got it. I got it, so let's eat first before we go on our date.

I told you. I need to work off my frustration today.

What?

Something must have happened at work today.

Nope. What happened?

What? Nothing happened. For real.

Tell me. I mean, please tell me. Something happened, right?

Just something irritating happened.

The male employees made bets on me.

- What kind of a bet?
- They bet on whether I'm no-bra or not. For $50.

What?

Those bastards.

Forget it. I already threw them a punch.

- How?
- I threw the my cigarette butt in that bastard Deputy Park's coffee cup, like this.

Oh, those bastards are making me crazy.

I will seriously earn lots of money and buy your company, so those employee bastards,

I'll enslave them for my entire life.

Those punks. Is that something to bet on? How can they take a person so lightly?

I mean, what woman goes to her work in a no-bra state?

Me.

- What?
- Me. I am no-bra today.

Really?

Yeah, what?

I'm on my way home already!

Did you eat dinner?

Would I have eaten? At this hour?

No. I'll eat at home.

I haven't either. Should we eat something out together?

What? Eat out?

Why eat out, when we're both tight on funds?

- I'll just eat at home . . .
- Just take out what's in the fridge and stuff yourself!

He should think about what he does before he suggests eating out!

Oh, he's not a husband, he's my mortal enemy.

Oh, why did I get married?

Noona, you resemble someone I know a lot right now.

- Who?
- My next door ahjumma. She is always speaking ill of her husband with that exact face.

How come even the expression is the same?

What? "Isn't it enough that I earn money for you?

That paltry little supplement to our living costs?

But he acts like a big shot about it all year long. Ah, he disgusts me.

Aigoo, he makes my skin crawl.

Oh. I took tomorrow off work.

Oh. Did you?

Yes. If you let me know the Namhae home address, I'll get there in time for kimchi making.

Yes. I'll send it to you. The address.

Oh, but I can't go tomorrow.

Yes, I know. You need to work at the cafe.

You went to my family's memorial rite alone so I should go to your family's kimchi-making alone too.

Six hours of labor. I'll fulfill the same time that you put in, and return home.

Oh. That contract. Did you take it and store it at work?

Oh. No. I will keep it in my bag.

CEO Ma tends to dig through my paperwork in the desk sometimes.

So it's safer this way, I think.

I see. Yes, we can't have CEO Ma know. That'll be bad.

Right. We can't.

Then, Soo Ji will know too.

What?

Did you not know?

That CEO Ma and Soo Ji are dating?

They're dating? I mean, how did CEO Ma and Soo Ji end up together?

That's what I mean. Human beings are really fascinating.

They do not suit each other at all. How can they be dating?

What is he saying?

We even got married.

No-bra? My girlfriend is a no-bra?

Other people would see them.

You think others don't know, right? But, when they look, they know right away.

If they look, it's their fault. Is it my fault?

The one who did the looking is the one at fault. Very bad! But!

Tell me honestly. Has this happened before when you went to work, too?

Yeah, a few times.

When I'm working away from the office, I take my bra off and there are times when I forgot to put it back on.

My God!

You're crazy!

If I were crazy I'd go around completely naked.

You can't help but talk back on everything!

I'm telling you to understand me! I don't like it! I don't!

Why are you this angry?

Woo Soo Ji, you don't hear the voice of my heart right now?

This honest heart that loves and worries for his girlfriend?

Not sure. It sounds to my ears like you're trying to wrap your own possessiveness as affection

to rationalize your behavior. Why is that?

Why? Why is this sounding like that to you?

This is different from what the contract said. Why are you intervening in my personal life?

Oh, you did well mentioning it. You know what you wrote in the contract, right?

Look. Is this personal life? Huh?

What's this contract? It's weird.

So now, where did you get that bad habit of trying to dodge out of it, huh?

Look here. Our two year term of tenancy marriage contract.

This, what is this?

What is this?

Dating Contract

Ji Ho. Oh.

You should look at this.

What is this? Dating contract?

Yes. It seems to be a dating contract between CEO Ma and Soo Ji.

What did I say? They're not a good match for each other.

And, look here.

Soo Ji is the owner, and CEO Ma is the contractor.

Oh, so it's true. Wow, this girl...

Why would anyone write a contract for dating?

I guess we're not in the position to comment on this, though.

But how did you end up getting this?

Oh, I bumped into CEO Ma earlier.

Our things got mixed up. So, I ended up bringing this.

Oh, they got mixed up.

It's not as if this was switched with our contract, though, right?

Yes, they did.

Two Year Tenancy Marriage Contract

It hasn't been that long, and already marriage?

There are a lot of people who get married after just two to three months.

Since earlier, why have you kept referring to your husband as your landlord?

- I did?
- A part-time job? Why?

Oh, I need to work for the monthly ren—

I have to pay off daily expenses and my phone bill.

Yoon Ji Ho, that nutcase!

What did you want to give me this late at night?

Last time, the marinated crab my mom sent.

She gave me this to share with others. I haven't given you yours yet.

Thanks. I better get in touch with your mom. She's doing well, right?

- Yeah, of course.
- She's not feeling unwell?

No, she's fine.

- She knows you married for housing, too?
- Yeah, of...

The monthly rent is ₩250,000.

Hey, you can't find a room that cheap these days.

Soo Ji, that...

Two years later, if you're okay with it, can I go in next, as your husband's next bride?

- Hey!
- What?

You're the one who did it.

Aiyoo, crazy girl.

You crazy punk.

Still. No matter what the case, how? Marriage?

Well, human beings have various ways

of living their lives.

But how, for a home? For rent, of all things?

For a home, you say?

For such a mere thing as rent? But that "home" is so important.

"Money"... can be such a scary thing.

To me, it was just a spare room that I had.

But to her, it was a room that she really needed. A desperate space.

So I just shared it using a suitable system.

Well, I also needed the money.

When you saw Ji Ho,

you thought of her?

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you that it was a fake marriage.

Of course, you wouldn't be able to tell me. How could you tell anyone?

And why are you sorry to me?

You're the one who has it tough.

Are you really okay?

Yeah. This is what I chose.

For me, it always take me a while to make the decision,

but once I choose, you know I don't usually regret it.

But it doesn't seem like simple business.

This marriage, to you I feel it's not just some work transaction.

Ji Ho, your husband, no...

I mean, your landlord, you like him.

There's someone I like.

- What are you saying?
- Huh? Who?

My husband.

I don't think you liked him from the beginning.

Did you start to like him while living with him?

♫ On the fading small paper I've written them ♫

No, that's not it.

Maybe I liked him from the beginning?

I don't know when, exactly.

What about him?

Does he like you, too?

♫ I can't even hide it ♫

♫ Like today ♫

No.

He doesn't know

that I like him.

♫ The foolish things keep repeating ♫

♫ And I am standing alone on a side alone again ♫

♫ Just in case tomorrow ♫

♫ might be different ♫

Even a heart should have a path to it.

♫ I can't ♫

If there's a path,

that path clearly should have a starting point.

Ho Rang!

Ho Rang! Tada!

Oh, you made it?

Wow, I'll deposit it right away too. $500.

Seok, let's really put in $500 each a month as we promised.

We will save up diligently and when we move out in three years, let's find a better place. Okay?

Okay.

But we've got $1,000 in there already!

At this point, we might end up buying a house with a yard.

I prefer an apartment.

If you want an apartment . . .

Okay, apartment it is!

Deposit records (Yang Ho Rang made most of the deposits)

I finally feel at ease.

Even now isn't too soon if you want to have kids and raise them.

So you can't make our Ho Rang suffer, okay?

Yes, Mother.

Your present for getting a job. Work hard and for a long time at the company.

Don't ever think about developing something by yourself again. Okay?

Yes. Thank you for this.

Alright.

If there's a place where emotions start,

then clearly somewhere

there must be a place for them to meet.

Rang, are you asleep?

You came? You're late.

You smell like soju.

I drank a little.

Rang, should we go on a date this weekend?

Date?

Yep, a date.

It's been a while since we've gone out, eaten delicious food,

and watched a movie.

Didn't you say there was a play that you wanted to see?

I'll reserve the tickets.

Okay. Let's do that.

Okay. Let's do that.

At the place where our hearts meet

will it be possible to start on another path?

But the thing I'm most afraid of

isn't that your path and mine are different

or that our paths will never meet.

It's that to your heart

I spoke with CEO Ma. I'll sleep first.

there is no path at all.

There might not be a way to your heart

in the first place. That's what I'm afraid of.

I received the address.

I will go make kimchi and return.

But for now,

I can't do anything about it.

Even if I don't know the path to his heart,

he knows the path to go make kimchi. And this man...

♫ please be a shelter for my tired soul ♫

I've ended up liking him.

For now,

that is enough.

♫ give it a quick glance as you pass by ♫

Oh, is that all? On kimchi-making day, will just a few bottles of rice wine be enough?

You need to buy a big barrel of it. Yes!

Okay, got it.

Ji Seok will be here with his wife soon.

Is making kimchi some national event? How can you tell your pregnant daughter-in-law to come?

When did Ji Ho say she will be here?

When would Ji Ho have the time to be doing this?

She's busy trying to make a living in Seoul.

She's a stay-at-home wife, why would she be busy?

And shouldn't she learn how to make kimchi since she is married?

Really! Well...

Ji Ho, what's going on?

Oh, you're coming?

Yeah, he's coming in a bit to help you.

How can you come here during a weekday?

No, I can't go. Wait, and he'll arrive soon.

Who are you saying is coming here?

It's cold, close the window!

♫ La la la. While thinking of you ♫

♫ La la la. I smile quietly. ♫

♫ Unknown to anyone, I, unknown to anyone ♫

♫ draw countless stars ♫
Your in-law's home is not this way.

Rerouting.

♫ Unknown to anyone, I, unknown to anyone ♫

Goodness, you sure have big hands (prepare or give out large amounts of food).

Why did you buy 100 heads of cabbage, anyway? You don't even have enough workers to go through it all!

Oh, don't worry.

It'll be done by the time your husbands come by to eat pork wraps.

But did Ji Ho say she's not coming?

- Ji Ho?
- Yes.

Right,

she said someone else was coming instead.
- Who?

- Excuse...
- I don't know, she told me to wait.

Excuse me! Hello.

Oh, Se Hee?

How come you're here, Son-in-law Nam?

- Yes.
- He's Ji Ho's husband!

- He's good-looking.
- Very good-looking.

He looks fine.

- Maybe he should be your groom.
- Sounds good to me!

Gosh, just work already.

The neighborhood became brighter!

I came to help with making kimchi.

Then when she said someone was coming—

- Yes, it was me.
- Who's here?!

Oh, our son-in-law! Wow!

Right, what brings you here?

I came to make kimchi.

Make kimchi?

Yes.

Good that you came. Come right in.

Come in. Once the kimchi is made, let's eat pork wraps.

- Sit.
- No,

I didn't come to eat pork wraps, but to help make kimchi.

I must make kimchi.

Truthfully, Ji Ho helped with the ancestral rites at

my parents' house a few days ago. So we settled on exchanging

the same amount of labor and effort.

What nonsense is that? It's expected for the daughter-in-law to help prepare the rites!

Did she? Ancestral rites?

Yes.

Don't speak nonsense and sit!

Have a drink with me.

Can you make kimchi wearing those clothes?

If you're going to do it, you need to change first.

Shall I give you my work clothes?

Yes, I would be grateful if you gave them to me.

Okay.

I arrived safely.

I will start to make kimchi now.

Anything the matter?

Nope.

It's Soo Ji Noona.

She's pretty today too. Totally my style.

What?

Nothing, you very quickly change

who your style is.

You used to tell me I was so pretty.

I just thought you were a little cute.

You're not my style originally.

What? He went to make kimchi?

Mhm.

Wow, you're something else, but your landlord husband is the real piece of work.

Well, that's probably why you two made a contract like that.

What if he gets so fatigued that he can't even come back?

Your mom probably bought at least 100 heads of cabbage, right?

Nah, my family would not make their son-in-law work that hard.

He'll probably eat some pork wraps and come back.

You already know she won't really make him make kimchi.

Timer: 6:00:00 hours

- Pretty stressful, huh?
- Yes.

These have been soaked in brine, so they're really salty.

- Soaked... in... brine?
- That's right.

Then, without letting the other seasonings touch them,

swish them several times in plain water,

shake off the water, and put them in there,

and it's done. Understand?

Do this in plain water,

after the water drips off, put it... in there?

Yeah, try it.

Don't do it limply like that.

With energy, like this, like this.

Yes, energy.

What will you do, when your son-in-law is so weak?

If he keeps this up, would you ever even see your grandchild?

Aigoo, don't you know that the skinny ones are better at those things?

Be quiet.

Watch what you say in front of my son-in-law.

Aigoo, please wipe it one more time. (dialect meaning"wipe" = homonym of "steal")

You want me to... steal it?

No, like this. She means to do it like this.

Ah, yes. Like this.

I mean, just one more time,

rinse it. With energy.

Oh, what will we do with him?

Why are you beating my son-in-law on his back like that?

Huh? What is this?

He's really making kimchi.

What is this? Why are they hitting him?

Ah, Psycho Ahjumma. This is no joke.

I'd like to order, please.

Yes.

I'll take the order, you can go.

- Go where?
- To your husband.

If you're so worried about him, hurry and go.

Instead, come in and work all weekend and cover my shifts, okay?

Aigoo, like this, we will be working all night.

Do it a little better, like this.

Huh?

Huh?!?

Son-in-law Nam!

- Yes!
- Come here and squeeze these cabbages.

Why's he squatting there next to the fire?

Wow, Brother-in-law really came to make kimchi, huh?

He is truly weird.

Squeeze it well.

I put food in Kitty's bowl...

but where is she?

Kitty? Kitty?

You were here?

You're here? When did you come in here?

Aigoo, you caused trouble, huh?

Oh, I really wanted to read this book.

It would be all right if I borrowed this, right?

I'll read it with great care and make sure to return it, okay?

So this book was a gift from someone.

That's enough now. You can go inside.

No, there is still time left before I fulfill my promise.

Since I took leave from work today, I have to finish it.

Son-in-law Nam, are you all right?

Yes.

Noona.

♫ You are my everything, be by my side everyday, fall in love ♫

♫ I'm in (love you, love you, love you) love with you, every day ♫

What's up? You were screaming and throwing fits last night.

What is this? Are you going to shut down your app and start selling underwear?

I bought the most comfortable design from all the brands around.

At least one of them should fit you, I hope. So just try it, please.

If it's still uncomfortable, I will do whatever I can to find another one for you.

Something that you find comfortable.

If it felt like I was giving you pressure, or that I was butting in,

I am really sorry. I'll do my best to fix that.

But please be a little more considerate towards me.

And to be honest, I can dislike it.

That someone would continue to stare at my woman, and think impure thoughts,

I can dislike that.

All right. I am sorry for only thinking of it as you butting in.

And so you just turn off your phone?!? Think about how anxious that would make me feel!

I turned it off because of a work meeting.

Wait just one hour. Then let's have dinner together.

- Dinner?
- Stay in this area, okay?

Aish, I'm so happy I can die.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

Your shoulders and your back, how do you feel?

Well, it aches a little, but I'm sure it will be fine in a little while.

No, before it gets worse, I'll go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine and pain relief patches.

Ji Ho.

Why did you come here? What about your job at the cafe?

Ah, I took care of it so there won't be problems. You don't have to worry.

Did you come... because you were worried about me?

Yes.

I see.

I was very glad to see you when you came.

Thank you.

Book Title: Island

That someone is coming to visit
(Poem: "Guest" by Jun Hyeon Jong)

is a tremendous thing.

That person's past, his present,

and his future

are all coming along with him.

Because his entire life is coming with him.

Because it is fragile,

it may have already been broken before...

that heart of his is coming.

To your heart

what path is there?

I was curious.

Yoon Ji Ho!!!

And the moment I learned of the path
[Farewell. Return and live as if nothing has happened. Instead, never love again, because you do not have the right to love again.]

the reason my heart hurt so much

was not because of jealousy

or despair.

Twelve years ago, on this very same day

2005/12/24. It's Christmas Eve! To celebrate Christmas, we said our wishes for our futures. Soo Ji, president of her own company!!! Ho Rang, good wife, wise mother!!! And me ... Love? Heh heh heh.

I dreamed of love

Farewell. Return and live as if nothing has happened. Instead, never love again, because you do not have the right to love again.

and you ended your love. That truth

made me a bit sad.

All right, drink up! Yes.

Aigoo, my son-in-law. You worked hard today.

Accept a drink from me.

Have you seen such a son-in-law anywhere?

A son-in-law who comes all this way to his in-laws' home to help make kimchi?

Aigoo, you must be so henpecked by your wife.

How can a man come to his in-laws' home to make kimchi?

Henpecked? Goodness, no.

If a man has a pretty bride, he would even bow to a wooden post, they say.

So think about how pretty our Ji Ho is, that he would do this for her?

Aigoo, look at her, boasting about her daughter!

Is that right? You came all this way because your bride is so pretty to you?

Hurry and answer me!

Yes. She is so pretty. Yes, you are right.

Goodness, I like you, boy.

Accept another drink from me.

Uh... I already have some.

What are you doing? You should empty that quickly and accept a drink from me!

Yes.

Drink it.

Drink it!

Yes.

Drink it!

Brother-in-law! Come here please!

Yes!

- Is it urgent?
- Yes, yes, yes!

All right, let's drink up.

Are you all right? You drank a lot.

I wouldn't say I'm alright.

I am not. I'm only a few more drinks away from reaching my limit.

Where did this house's son-in-law go?

Hurry! Hurry!

If you get caught by that ajusshi then there's no way out.

If you just drink what he gives you, then you will die.

You should have given me that important information ahead of time.

What about Unni? Did she go somewhere?

Ah! She went to buy medicine for me and she still hasn't come back.

Then don't come right home. Go and take a walk.

That's right. Call Unni and enjoy a date together.

Yes.

Let's go.

Do you know this is the first time that we are eating together?

Is that so?

We ate together that last time, before we went elsewhere.

Ate what?

We just drank rice wine. You were the one who drank six bottles and got drunk. Aiyoo.

Rice wine is rice so isn't that considered eating?

From now on, let's eat together like this

at least three times a week. That's an order.

Why whine about eating?

You know how important a meal is, right?

Do you think people say stuff like "rice strength" and "rice affection" for nothing?

There's nothing like a meal to nourish mutual attachment.

Well...

That's why Ji Ho fell.

Huh? Where would sister-in-law fall?

That...

Ji Ho fell for her landlord.

My friend likes your friend.

Don't tell your friend.

It seems like she likes him one-sidedly.

Is it really one-sided?

What?

Would Se Hee really not know

that Ji Ho likes him?

Ms. Ji Ho!

Ms. Ji Ho!

Ms. Ji Ho!

That Ji Ho likes him?

Then what about Mr. Se Hee? What does he feel towards Ji Ho?

This place tastes good. It must be newly harvested rice.

Jeez! Ji Ho is a mo-sol. She doesn't know anything!
(Mo-sol: abbrev. of Mo-tae Sol-o, or single since birth)

I'm so worried.

Se Hee must be scared since he knows.

Since he knows what love is...

maybe Se Hee could be more scared because of it?

You should have declined the rice wine.

Someone who is usually good at declining things, why can't you, in that situation?

Why?

This must be how you felt.

When I asked why you went to my family's memorial service.

This regrettable feeling.

It's nice, the sea. It's been a long time.

Me too. The sea...

it's my first time.

Besides my family and friends,

coming to see the beach with someone else.

With a man...

It's my first time seeing it.

Unexpectedly, you have a lot of things you haven't done.

That's right.

I was constantly busy in my 20s.

That's why I...

have a lot of things I haven't done yet.

That's why I also have a lot of things I don't know.

I...

liked a poem when I was in my 20s.

In that poem, it says this.

When a person comes

that person's entire life comes with him.

It's fragile, so it may have already been broken,

that heart has come.

When I liked that poem

I didn't know what it meant.

When I found out what it meant,

I could no longer enjoy that poem.

Once you know something,

there are many things you can no longer do. That is life.

That's why I...

am envious of you, Ji Ho.

Not knowing

is a good thing.

That's why,

don't worry too much.

The same goes for you, Se Hee.

Even if it's the same ocean that I saw before,

today, this ocean, it's the first time for me.

Even things that I know, things that I have done,

in that moment, with that person, it's the first time, still.

Us... just like our marriage.

Like the kiss at the bus stop.

The things that happen after that moment...

I think they're not anyone's fault.

Just...

it happened like that.

Like how some waves just flow by,

and some waves break.

It just happens. That's why,

Se Hee, you too,

shouldn't worry too much.

Just because you have lived yesterday,

it doesn't mean

that you know everything about today.

A person coming

is in fact a tremendous thing.

It is because one person's

entire life is coming with her.

Because it is fragile,

and so

it may have been broken before

that heart

comes.

Now I understand why people come to see the ocean when they are frustrated.

Here, you are able to meet your own feelings.

Pardon?

But you know,

there is something I've wanted to correct since a while ago.

What you did at the bus stop was not a kiss. It was a peck.

Ahhh...

Did you really have to...?

Yes.

The truth is, you can't even call it a peck.

If one had to define it accurately,

it was just skin-to-skin contact, which just happened to be of lips.

Yes, that would be an accurate definition.

Yes. I understand.

You can't call that a kiss.

That is not how you do a kiss.

I understand, I said. I didn't do it well.

Yes. That's what I am saying. A kiss...

is done like this.

♫ A night sky full of ♫

♫ my dreams that I have filled ♫

♫ Each losing its meaning one sheet at a time ♫

♫ Telling me this. The past ♫

♫ in the fading small papers I've written them on ♫

Now... do you understand better?

If not...

do you need to know more?

More... I want to know more.

♫ I can't even touch it ♫

♫ Like today, even if I endure a day ♫

♫ It keeps coming back, each day, living through it ♫

♫ Like a fool, I keep repeating it ♫

Because it is fragile

that's why it may have been broken before,

that heart of his...

came to me.

♫ Living through each day ♫

♫ Like a fool, repeating ♫

♫ I stand alone again in one corner ♫

♫ Just in case tomorrow is actually different ♫

Because This Is My First Life

All the romance cells in my body have woken up.

This woman is pretty.

You don't want to do it with your landlord? You live in the same house, doesn't your body...

Go and shower first.

Why did I do that? Why?

In a day how many times

do I think about kissing? You mo-sol (single since birth)!

About our wedding, can you wait a little bit longer?

I am just curious about my girlfriend's house.

You came?

These days, what do people do when on a date?

Oh?

I... am scared of myself

in case I might hurt someone again.
